Hey guys! I know I have two other full length stories going on right now, but I just had to do this one. This story is completely planned out and should only take about 10 chapters. I am sure you will all love it, so please stick around for it! Enjoy!

Chapter 1 - Humanity Strike Back

No matter how much I tried to ignore the past, it always came back to haunt me. It was everywhere and always unavoidable. It had gone to a point that even the most mundane objects would trigger memories to resurface. The constant reminders of the horrid fate to befall the world of Fiore jabbed yet another knife to the collection already stuck inside my wounded heart - figuratively, of course. However, the pain felt as real as any other wound would ever feel. Of course, the aching pain in my chest would multiply whenever the memories of my old friends would resurface. Their laughter would bubble in my ears and the smiles their faces once held would come to mind. Soon enough, that would change. It changed like it always did - the laughter turned to screams and the smiles turned to tears. In other words, my memories became a waking nightmare that was impossible to escape. The memories were unavoidable, so I just had to ignore them to the best of my abilities.

The year is X798, which is seven years after the Grand Magic Games. I am one of the 10% of human survivors left in Fiore after the horrid fate to befall us all seven years ago. On the seventh day of the Grand Magic Games held in X791, the Eclipse Gate was opened. During that time, I was still locked away inside a cell deep within the capitol's castle. Since I was not outside to see the events of what happened outside, I have no idea how the Eclipse Plan had failed. Perhaps there was not enough magical energy to blast away all 10,000 dragons or maybe the gate had just failed entirely, I am unsure. However, I remember the horror that filled me when the castle had started to crumble.

Everything was happening so fast that I had no time to think. All I could do in such a horrid situation was act. I truly do not remember much about my escape from the cell, but I remember the pure adrenalin that rushed through my veins as I avoided falling rubble and flaming debris. That adrenalin rush was soon over when I stepped outside to see what had happened. My blood ran cold as I saw dead citizens and mages alike strewn across the ruined streets and broken buildings like trash. The people were not even completely pieced together. Some were missing limbs and others were completely naked or gutted. It had been a slaughter house, no one had been spared from death. I ran through town, trying to find any survivors. My friends just had to be alive. Fairy Tail mages could not lose!

I was horribly wrong.

I had found my team members in such a horrible position that I felt sick to my stomach. The deaths of the townsfolk had been bad, but this was just cruel. Erza had been stripped of her armor, which had ultimately allowed whatever beast she had been fighting to rip her apart and eat her insides. Once the creature had gotten what it wanted, it had left her in pieces that were scattered around the town square.

Gray's demise had not been much better. He had holes ripped through him of all different sizes. They were clean shots which must have been made by lasers of some kind. There were several throughout his torso and upper body, but it was obvious that the killing blow had been a shot to the head. His blood and brains had splattered the pavement and walls around him, creating a horrid sight that even the strongest of men would become queasy around.

Happy had not been spared either. It seemed as if the blue fur ball that was always energetic and full of life could not escape a horrid demise either. His white wings had been ripped from his back and tossed next to his body. Two gaping holes on his back took the place of where his white wings truly belonged. His Fairy Tail guild mark had been slashed through by a set of claws. Along with that, his bag had been scavenged through.

It was then that my eyes landed on a spot of pink. I could feel the blood drain from my face as I ran towards the color. Deep down inside, I begged for it to not be Natsu. Of course, fate would never do me a favor of any kind. I fell to my knees and grabbed hold of the hand that had brought me to Fairy Tail years ago. I tried to hold back my sobs but before I knew it, my tears started to fall. Natsu had a talon stuck completely through his stomach. Although the dragon who had done this may have lost a single talon off one of its claws, it had ultimately pinned Natsu down to the concrete square. Along with this, Natsu's once white scarf was now soaked red with his own blood.

It was in that moment that I had cried out to the Heaven's above in complete anguish. Not only had my comrades been taken from me, but so had the love of my life. For a moment, my cries rang with the roars of the dragons that had attacked the town. The two sounds seemed to morph together, making it seem as if it was a cry of a dragon who had lost its mate. However, I was no dragon and soon enough the dragons would find me and bring about my demise too.

With no time to lose, I had ran off from the square. Although it pained me to do such a thing, I knew that I had more important things to do if I wished to survive. With the bodies of my friends behind me, I had gone back to the castle ruins in hopes of finding my celestial keys. After what felt like hours of digging, my torn and bloodied hands hand savaged my keys. With hope bubbling up inside me, I ran to escape the once beautiful city. On my way out, I had avoided looking at the bodies the littered the streets. I looked ahead to see the edge of town and felt joy filling inside me.

It was in that moment that I had lost my focus. I had stopped looking around for dragons by then, causing me to be swept up by one. I released a mortified scream as it bit into my right arm. The pain was overwhelming and I knew I would die soon enough if I could not escape. With a well-placed kick, I caused the dragon to release me. At least, that's what I had thought. I plummeted to the ground, landing harshly on the rubble that littered the town. Without looking back, I ran as far away as possible. Weaving between and behind rubble, I soon found a small cave of sorts and hid inside. It was then that the pain hit me and I realized what had truly happened. The dragon had not released me when I had kicked it. Instead, it had bit straight through my right arm. I screamed and cried as hysteria started to set in. Not only had I lost my right arm, but I had also lost my guild mark.

I am unsure of how long it took, but soon enough I had gained enough control to calm myself and think rationally. I started scavenging for supplies when I had deemed it safe to do so. It had taken a while, but soon enough I was able to clean, sew, and wrap the wound. Along the way, I had also stolen a cloak off of a dead man's body and found an empty journal and pen. That was the best I could do at the time. Of course, now things are different.

Fiore is now nothing more than a wasteland that is overrun by dragons. Once prosperous cities are now piles of rubble that have commonly become nests for dragons. Searching for supplies is difficult and dangerous no matter the time of day. The worst thing is that even though there are other humans in Fiore, they are hard to come by and are now horribly untrustworthy.

I plan to change all that though. Tonight is the night that I put my plan into action. Ever since the horrible attack, I have worked on a plan to change this horrible future. Tonight, I will open the Eclipse Gates once more and travel into the past to save the future. It has been seven years since the original attack. The gates should have once again gained enough power to activate. After all, it had taken seven years for them to be ready the first time they were opened. This plan was not foolproof - it was not even close to that at all - but it was the only option this world had, and I was ready to do everything in my power to save this world. Tonight would be the night where everything would be put into motion.

Tonight is the night that humanity strikes back.
