Your POV:

Mavis: Just like my calculations predicted~ .

Macao: Weren't those calculations wrong halfway through ?

Crowd: FAIRY TAIL !! FAIRY TAIL !! FAIRY TAIL !!

Chapati: These loud roars confirm fairy tail's return to the top, as the mightiest guild !!

Yajima: Ain't that great, Macky.

Mato: To go undefeated on the last day, what a...

Risley: Quite a feat...

Kagura: Ahh... We're no match for them.

Lyon: Hehe... They really stuck it to us.

Sherria: I'm so sorry, Lyon...

Jura: Simply... Marvelous...

Eve: Well... It's a welcome home party for team Tenrou.

Hibiki: This is quite the generous present...

Ren: Congratulations on your victory.

Frosch: Fairy Tail is amazing !!

Rogue: Yeah... Despite losing... I feel completely invigorated...Frosch, I... Want to become a man who treasures his friends.

Frosch: Fro thinks so too !!

Gajeel: So, it's finally over...

"The tournament side of things, at least..."

Erza: Has anyone seen the signal flare ?

Laxus: Nope.

Gray: Same here.

Sting: Ehm...

Gajeel: That expression of your is pissing me off !

"Pipe it down, will ya ?"

Sting: But... Why didn't Natsu participate ? Did something happen ?

'I seriously hope not... What's holding you guys back, seriously... ?'

Mew: How are these guys able to hold us back, seriously ?!!

Loki: This is bad... At this rate, we won't last much longer !!

Knight: Yield while you can, criminals !

Natsu: I'M SO PISSED OFF !! AN EXECUTION ?! I'LL EXECUTE ALL OF YOU !!

Soldiers: UWAAH ! WHAT IS THIS ?! EEK !!

Knight: What's the meaning of this ?! The shadow is swallowing...

Natsu: What's going on ?!

Jellal: !!

Ultear: Jellal ?

Jellal: How could we overlook such a simple fact...

Meredy: Is something wrong ?

Jellal: The future Lucy said she arrived on the 4th of July. But in reality, it was at midnight on the 3rd. Every year, like clockwork, we've been sensing a mysterious magic power... yet she only arrived recently ? No... What we've been sensing the past 7 years is the magic power of the Eclipse, no doubt about it. This year though... it came from a human. She traveled back in time using magic from Zeref's book, otherwise known as the Eclipse... And some of that residual magic must have lingered on her body.

Jellal: If we are to assume that everything future Lucy said is indeed trues, then... Future Lucy's arrival was in fact on the night of the 3rd. Which means... The one we saw on the evening of the third is really...

Arcadios: Princess !!

Hisui: A- Arcadios !! Are you unharmed... ?!

Darton : Uhh... Commander... About the whole incident with abyss palace... You see... It was mostly due to my tunnel vision...

Arcadios: It's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. Are all the people assembled here aware of the truth behind the Eclipse 2 ?

Hisui: Yes... As we speak, those soldiers still in the dark are being brought up to date, hopefully word travels fast to the Garou Knights as well. Those words from that person who traveled back in time are coming to fruition... From this point forward, we're moving the Eclipse plan into the second phase.

Arcadios: Then... We're going to abort the first phase and not annihilate Zeref ?

Hisui: No... But we must first take care of the immediate threat lying before us.

Darton: YOU DARE... !!

Arcadios: A knight should never doubt the words of his monarch... When your words bear fruits... I shall relinquish me life... By being suspicious of your motives... I have brought great shame to you... I am prepared to pay that transgression... With my life.

Hisui: ...

Darton: You bastard ! Have you gone mad ?!

Arcadios: princess... Please be forthright with me...

Hisui: Arcadios... What is the meaning of all this...

Arcadios: I have met the person from the future that you speak of. She is none the wiser about the Eclipse 2. She shed tears as she lamented the impending doom... Because she did not know how to remedy the situation...

Hisui: That can't be... That person made it abundantly clear to me as to what had to be done.

Arcadios: Are you telling me that person from the future is lying ?! I can't think of anything that she'd gain be deceiving her comrades !!

Hisui: She... ? The person who traveled back in time and gave me that advice... Was a man.

Jellal: The shadow of the person I saw on the night of 3rd wasn't Lucy ! There's another person here !!

Meredy: What are you talking about ?!

Jellal: There's another person giving off a similar type of magic to the one found on someone who had just used the Eclipse... Lucy came from the future to save us... So then what are the motives of the second individual ?!

Happy: All the soldiers from the kingdom...

Carla: They've vanished into that shadow.

Loki: Someone is there ! Stay alert !

Natsu: ... Who the hell are you ?

???: The shadows are fanning out... To the past ? Or perhaps, to the future ? Or maybe... To the hearts of all the people ? Now this sure does bring back some memories... Natsu Dragneel.

Rogue: I came from the future. I am Rogue.

Mew: Rogue ? The one from Sabertooth ? ... So you came from the future, too... I know someone who won't be happy about that.

Arcadios: There are two people from the future... One is Lucy, who came to warn of us of the coming dangers...

Darton: And the other is here, to bring harm to our princess...

Hisui: No, both came for the reason of saving our country. I wouldn't be surprised if there was even a third or fourth person. If you truly are a knight, then you should point your blade where it needs to be.

Hisui: I'm opening the gates. In order to save this country, i'm drawing my blade.

Jellal: Another from the future... What could they be after... We must hurry to the castle.

Loki: You decimated the soldiers, to save us ?

Natsu: You seem different compared to before. Why are you even here ?

Rogue: To open, the gates.

Lucy: the Eclipse ?!

Rogue: there are two ways of using the Eclipse. One is to travel through time. The other, is as a weapon, the "Eclipse Canon". It's the only mean we have of defeating ten thousand dragons.

'Lucy': 'Defeating ten thousand dragons ?!'

Natsu: Guess that makes this simple then, so we're actually allies !

Happy: Yay ! We can beat the dragons ! We can save the future !

Rogue: Unfortunately... It's not that simple. I come from a future 7 years from now. In 7 years... Dragons will have already conquered the world. Not even a tenth of the human population survived... And of course, the Eclipse doesn't hold anywhere near as much power as it does now. If we don't stop the dragons here... this world is doomed.

Natsu: Alright, so we'll just bust open the gates ! No worries...

Rogue: But 7 years ago, in other words, now... Someone stopped us from opening the gates. Because of that, the gates were not opened, and we couldn't fire the Eclipse Canon at the horde of ten thousand dragons. That person brought about the destruction of this world. That is why I am here. To eliminate that person.

Mew: ... Yeah, I don't think you need to worry about that. If we explain to him that the gates will not be used as a time transportation mean, I'm pretty sure there's no need to go as far as eliminate him. And even so, you can just knock him out until things are over.

Rogue: As such an important "Intersection of time", words alone can't control it. Even if they're convinced now... It's already decided that they would close the gates. An inescapable destiny, in which the ones meant to survive live on, and the doomed ones perish. As long as they're alive, the ones destined to close the gates will do so without fail...

Natsu: You're losing me... I know he's stubborn, but Y/n can be reasoned with.

Rogue: I am not talking about him... I am talking about you... LUCY HEARTFILLIA !!

Lucy: Eh ?

Natsu: LUCY !!

Lucy: Wa- Wait... You... ?!

Happy: LUCY !!

Rogue: There are two Lucy's ?!

Lucy: Hang in there !!

'Lucy': I... Never closed...the gates...

Lucy: I know you didn't !! I would never do such a thing ! Why did you save me ?!

'Lucy': Because you're... My past... Either way, I would have ceased to exist... To die whilst being watched by myself... It feels strange...

Lucy: It's the same for me, so you can't die !

'Lucy': It's okay... I managed to meet up with everyone... Even though I never thought I'd have the chance to, ever again... i'm... happy with... Just that...

Happy: Lucy... No.. You can't die...

'Lucy': I'm... Not from this time... No, I'm not even part of the people of this words... The me from this world... Lives on with her comrades... So, don't be sad...

Happy: THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE !! No matter what world you're from... Whoever you say you are, Lucy is Lucy !! We're comrades !! There's no way we won't be sad !!

'Lucy': ... hey... Show me your guild mark...

Lucy: Eh ?

Lucy: You... Your left hand...

Lucy: Guys ! Check it out ! I've got the mark of Fairy Tail now !!

'Lucy': I really... Wanted to go on more adventures... Protect... The future...

Rogue: ... She wasn't aware that she had closed the gates...

Lucy: SCREW THE GATES !! Even though I would never do something like... !!

Rogue: For now... But when the time comes, you will.

Lucy: I WOULD NEVER DO THAT !! Coming out with all this bullshit... What's your aim ?!

Rogue: It's already decided that you'll close the gates. As long as you're alive.

Lucy: MY FUTURE SELF SAID SHE DIDN'T CLOSE IT !! I BELIEVE IN MYSELF !!

Rogue: THERE'S NO TRUTH IN YOUR WORDS !! EVERYTHING'S DECIDED BY DESTINY !!

Natsu: THEN I'LL BURN AWAY THAT DESTINY !! I WON'T LET ANYONE TAKE AWAY LUCY'S FUTURE !! I promise.

Natsu: LUCY !! GET AWAY FROM HERE !!

Lucy: But... !

Loki: leave this to Natsu !!

Mew: You're the one being targeted... You must remove yourself at once !

Lucy: F- Fine...

Rogue: You are not getting away !

Rogue: Natsu Dragneel ! I expected you to stick your nose in my business. But since you'll be obliterated by the dragons anyway... History won't mind if I take things into my own hands...

Natsu: Were... Were you always this much of a prick ?!

Rogue: Time has a way of changing people. Die, Natsu Dragneel.

Natsu: ... You took away something precious to me right before my eyes. Your way of doing things... is shitty !! We'll protect our future... OUR WAY !!
