It's just a theory but this might happen next: Gajeel is already dead. Natsu will die at the hands of August and the remaining three dragon slayers will also die in some way (or not). Eileen wouldn't be able to do jack to Acnologia. Fairy Tail and the other guilds will fight Acnologia but no be able to defeat him. Then the Dragon Slayers will make a heroic comeback and fight Acnologia. Gajeel will somehow escape from the underworld, Natsu will be revived as E.N.D, and the rest of the dragon slayers as well. It is also possible that only Gajeel and Natsu will die and make a comeback. Another possibilty is that none of this will happen in which case just forget about what I said.
