@ SL. I'm sorry to say this but I'd find it really lame if Jellal was to die from fighting Marde only to have Meredy win the battle ~_~. If Jellal is to die, I rather have it be for something more worthy, and how is it that Meredy would be able to defeat the enemy rather than Jellal. I digress. Tbh I am think Gildarts is the most likely fighter, if not a group effort from a weird form of Team Natsu.
