This is a futurefic, but not a good one. Makarov and Gildarts have died in a surprise attack by Acnologia. Igneel, Grandine, and Metalicana came just in time to save everyone else. Almost all humans but those in dark guilds have been annihilated. The forts constructed by Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus and Sabertooth are some of the last human strongholds. It's not a mistake not to include Quatro Cerberus or Mermaid Heel, their forts fell. All of the Guild Masters have been slaughtered, except Sting because Acnologia thought that he could always come back later to take his life.
This is set three years past the Grand Magic Games. Acnologia attacked one year after the GMG. He's allied with Zeref, all the demons and all the dark guilds.

This information is provided only as a reference. The focus of this series of oneshots is going to be war and it's effects. It's meant as a tribute to all soldiers. Not just those of the USA, but all who have fought for something, or someone, that they cared about.
I have never been in a war, nor has anyone that I know. If they have, they haven't told me. I won't pretend to know anything about what it's like to out there on the battlefield, risking life and limb. This is purely out of what I think it might be like. If any actual war veterans out there are offended by this, just tell me. This is for you.
