Will see how it ends, but based on the actual facts. It really doesn't look like Acnonlogia appeared until after Natsu disappeared.

Also the Eternal Flare hit first and then he started absorbing others, yet there is no other damage to the city other then what was caused by August's final attack and yet we clearly see Eternal Flare hit the city.

Meaning that Natsu had to have disappeared before Acnologia appeared, otherwise Lucy and the others would have commented on the attack instead of worrying about Natsu.

Natsu disappeared first, there is no question about that fact.
