Lol you said who would win the BATTLE if Gandalf DIES then obviously he lost the battle :P

and sure he can absorb laxus or whoever's magic, but all makarov would need is the 5-10 seconds it takes to prep fairy law, its just a matter of how much of the fodder wizards gandalf can "one shot" before fairy law does its work. theres no way he'll be able get to makarov with the dragon slayers and gildarts defending from attacks, hell if it was a matter of life of death lucy can sacrifice a zodiac key to bring out the celestial spirit king, i think the CSK by himself is MORE than capable of stalling Gandalf for 5 seconds. gandalf can't simply kill the spirit king either because celestial spirits are immortal.
