As the battle between the guilds' strongest wizards and the dragons continue, Sting and Rogue reveal that they have no real experience in battling other dragons, as they actually killed their dragon masters at their behest. At Mercurius, Future Rogue tells Natsu of his intentions to use the seven dragons against Acnologia and become the new Dragon King. Realizing only Dragon Slayer magic can harm the dragons, Natsu calls out to the Dragon Slayers in the city to fight against them. At Jellal's request, Doranbalt releases the Oración Seis' Dragon Slayer Cobra from detainment to even out the numbers between dragons and Dragon Slayers.
