In this scenario the best way to end it would be with a huge cliffhanger: Sting goes all like "I will show them... I'll show everyone what I'm capable of, just wait Lector", Minerva stabs Kagura from behind and threatens Erza while she lays down with her broken leg, Laxus and Orga bumb into each other and a second later Juura shows up, Gray/Juvia meet with Leon/Shelia, they find future Lucy and she tells them 10.000 dragons are heading to Crocas and will kill everyone next day, Arkadius thinks to himself about how the princess must be hiding something and finally the Garoo Knights and army show again in front of Natsu's team.
