Completely agreed with Wrath. Seriously, do you guys even know about the concept of a hostage. Rhetorical. You'll obviously do, but seem to be ignoring it for some reason. If Natsu doesn't win, then him getting killed immediately is Fairy Tail's best bet. What do you think happens if Zeref walks up and threatens to kill Natsu unless Fairy Tail surrender? Instant loss. Mavis would be abysmally stupid not to realize that.

And how is it difficult to send in people like Gray/Laxus and Jet/Carla/Panther Lily to extract Natsu? Does Mavis seriously believe that Natsu is more powerful that Gray & Laxus that he can actually hold up against Zeref long enough for Ishgar to take care of the other armies and come to his aid, while Gray and Laxus can't even hold off Zeref long enough to escape? That's some incredibly excessive faith in the Dragon Slayer right there...

Or does anybody here think that Natsu being captured and not being used as a hostage would make the situation any less BS? If anything, the situation just becomes more retarded as it means that it's not just Mavis who's a dodo, Zeref is one too.
