@Bj Lily is a somewhat below Gajeel/Natsu/Gray level. That's not even worth talking about in this situation. All of them together at 100% definitively can't beat Makarov, and sure as heck cannot touch Hades.

@Rauleli Indeed, it was kind of expected for me. He could do that, but villains tend to never take the easiest route for plot induced reasons. He doens't have to make them win anything, actually. There's no logical way for them to win. You can bring up Dragon Force, but Hades may have a counter for that-- he's seen the essence of magic. Uranometria wouldn't do anything to Hades, it's "strong" but nothing great against people like Hades.(or a few other people, actually) Her secret art will be a much weaker one then Natsu's, a move Gildarts blocked with relative ease.(Gildarts, like Makarov, can't do much to Hades) Armadura Fairy is her strongest armor, and what's that against someone who curbstomped Makarov? Nothing much. She shouldn't even be standing. Gray has got nothing. Charle and Happy will be useless.

You see what I mean? Hade is like a walking Armageddon. He's too strong to lose now. But Mashima enjoys throwing away villains, so yea......And Gildarts should at least be leading this final charge, but apparently he can't move.
