Protect the Future!

Everything happened in the blinking of an eye. How the soldiers disappeared in the shadows, how Future Rogue appeared and how Future Lucy got killed by him.

He came into the hall, explained who he was, what he wanted and that someone would get in the way of protecting the future. But who was it anyway? The group at first stood there, listening to his explanations, trying to understand that there was another way to use Eclipse. Eclipse Two.

And then it began. F!Rogue always said that fate decides everything and someone would defiantly open the door no matter what. The reason why he came, to kill that person. It couldn't be changed. And when Natsu asked who it was, who would led humanity into despair, he answered, and no one thought that their saving mission turned out that way.

''It's you, Lucy Heartfilia!'' A shadow sword was formed in his hands and he shot it straight at Lucy. All were to shocked to do a thing, it surprised them all. It was all to much to comprehend what exactly just happened. ''Lucy!'' Natsu turned around seeing the shadow passing him. He tried to reach it, tried to stop it somehow. But he was a second to late and actually only grabbed shadow, the sword following it's way directly to Lucy.

And then they heard a loud gasp and someone coughing, probably blood. When they turned around their eyes widened in shock, Wendy trembling in horror. The body falling to the ground was not Lucy's body. It was the body from her future-self. And it hurt. It felt like something pierced through Natsu's heart as well.

He didn't protect her. He couldn't protect her. And her own self protected her. Lucy fell onto her knees next to herself. Happy already with tears in his eyes running to the body lying on the ground, clearing herself from the accusations from Future Rogue. ''I never... closed the door.''

Lucy also trying to hold back her tears spoke. ''I know! I would never do that!'' She laid there in her own arms, her body getting colder, the pain slowly easing. ''Why did you protect me?'' Future Lucy knew that her past self would be confused by her actions but what role did it play. ''If you die, I would die anyway... It is strange... to die in your own arms...'' Lucy shook her head. ''It is strange for me, too! So don't die!''

Natsu stood there trying to control his anger, which slowly rose inside of his body. He heard Happy sob and almost shouting. ''Lucy! No you can't die!'' Future Lucy patted his head. ''I am not from this time, the Lucy from this time will live on with her friends. So don't be sad...'' Happy shook his head, shaking and crying till no end. ''Lucy is Lucy, no matter what! You are Lucy, our friend, of course I am sad!''

Future Lucy smiled warmly it him before she looked back up at her own self. ''Hey... Show me your guild mark.'' Lucy was a bit confused but held her hand with the pink emblem up. Tenderly future Lucy let her finger slip over it. Tears running down her face. ''You... Your right hand...'' Lucy couldn't believe it. Her future self has lost her arm in some battle in the future.

It tore her apart to know that. And it tore him apart as well. He remembered how proud she was when she showed him her hand after receiving the mark. He bit his lip trying to suppress the sound he would make if this would go on. A sound remembering of anger, hatred, disappointment... Also over his future self for not protecting her better. But the most of all he wanted to tear apart Future Rogue for what he had done to her.

Natsu knew very well that it was just a matter of time until he would charge at him and fight him till he would go down.

Natsu felt foreign in his body. Something took control over him and he couldn't quite change it. And he actually didn't wanted to change it. He was scared at first of the feeling but then he let it in.

It was to much for him to take, after some more discussions between Lucy and Future Rogue he started with this shit of the unchanging fate again. And it pissed Natsu off.

Future Rogue prepared for another attack, already reaching out his hand. ''I'll burn your fate away!'' Natsu's fire engulfed his whole body, the thunder already appearing, unnoticed by himself. It was a strange feeling. He never felt so enraged before and he only wanted Future Rogue to disappear.

Natsu punched him hard, sending him flying backwards. ''I won't let anyone take away Lucy's future!''

He remembered her words. The words he also told her, which he promised her he would do. And he would keep that promise. He would protect the future, her future. He would fight for that no matter what, and he wouldn't stop.

''I promise.''
