Pretty much loved the whole Chapter. I like how Mashima uses Zeref as a teaser.

Dat MS translation tho ... "Fart in the wind" "Shit happens" ... Though Igneel was making a complete troll face when he said the latter. :P

Let's see, let's see, let's see. How can Mashima keep Igneel alive? Hmmm:
 * 1) LH produced a mini FS around him so that he cannot be attacked and his body is kept in stasis until help (Grandeeney) arrives.
 * 2) Grandeeney or one of the other Dragons swooped in and saved him at the last moment. Maybe used teleportation. They can use Telepathy, so why not the other 2 Teles? >.>
 * 3) Having been inside Wendy, Grandeeney knows about Midnight, so went there and retrieved him (how does she know where he is? Master Sensor \(^_^)/), then gave him a plan because the Dragons knew that Acnologia would be too much for them. Then this is all just an illusion with Igneel using the Telepathy to let Acnologia 'accidentally' overhear and not suspect anything while all 5 Dragons prepare a Unison Roar.

Pretty sure people could come up with loads more. On the other hand, almost certain that Igneel is dead. For Wendy, Rogue, Gajeel and Sting, the other Dragons just saying, "You belong with your own kind." would be good enough 'cause more level-headed than Natsu (yeah, Gajeel too. Remember all those infiltration missions in Raven Tail and Edolas?). For Natsu, hardly gonna work. So he has to die at some point anyway. ( ._.)

Want to know more about Igneel? As Nick reminded me a long while back ... Milky Way! \(^_^)/

... Now I'm imagining a funeral ceremony for Igneel with him attending in Spirit form, the best consoler for Natsu. :P ... And now that I think about, Milky Way is kinda hax. >.> But no worries 'cause Wendy is the one using it! <3
