But what good would that have done? Okay, Zeref is dead, but everyone loses Natsu. There are still 11 Spriggans who are going to follow through with the original plan, or worse: Go rogue and do their own thing. Then you also have Acnologia and one less Dragon Slayer able to deal with him, on top of FT losing one of their best fighters. Natsu was being an incorrigible ass. Happy did the right thing. Natsu was about to forsake his creed for a chance (Zeref said that the next hit may be able to kill him) that would have resulted in his death either way. He is a fucking idiot.
