Acnologia has always shown up to really gauge everyone's strength, always to motive others to greatly improve there strengths. I think that natsu & co will be facing acnologia and losing only for zeref and to stop time like he did when he wanted to talk to natsu about end. I think he will offer natsu the curse power necessary to revive end in order to save his friends from dying, only if he agrees to kill him afterwards. That's pretty much how I see the last arc, I do agree on the whole internal / friends fighting him so end doesn't control natsu, and I think Lucy will ultimately be the one to help natsu overcome end by confusing her love for him.
