Igneel continues to fight Acnologia. Zeref appears and kills Mard Geer for his failure, taking the book with him. Natsu watches Acnologia kill Igneel. The dragons reveal that they lost their souls (taken by Acnologia) and sealed themselves within the Dragon Slayers. They ascend to a higher plane to watch over humanity. Natsu swears to defeat Acnologia. Fairy Tail dissolves. A year later, Natsu and Happy find Lucy at the Grand Magic Games. They want to revive Fairy Tail; the first step: Lamia Scale (where Wendy and Carla are).
