And we're back! Okay, a lot of people have wondered if I would put in another demon in the Tartarus Arc. To be specific Necrid from Soul Calibur 2 or Charade also from the same game (btw awesome game! Love it! I have all of them!) , but that guy... well thing gives me the creeps... but hey Tartarus so he would actually fit. Anyway, if you want Necrid or Charade to be in it or neither let me know. So it's either Necrid, Charade or neither. Three choices.

I know I'm asking a lot but, Tartarus will be one Arc that I want to be pleasing for the readers since it's a big Arc. And after this I won't ask you guys anything anymore. So sorry to annoy you! I just want to make it perfect for you guys.

So back to the story now. Things will get very interesting at the end of this chapter! You'll see it when you read it ;)

Master vanitas: Yes I love that game! I still play it even now! I love all the characters, even though Voldo is a creep *shudder* Well I let you guys know about the idea. So if you want Necrid in it vote for him! ;)

Rez: Yes, I wonder what that shadow is ;)

Chaos: I know which one you mean and it does sound great! It would be a good theme song for Kera!

Lingering will: Fairy Tail is number one! They always come out on top. :) And congrats on beating the mysterious figure on critical mode! That's hard work ;)

Marty: Well here's the next chapter so you can see for yourself if it is great or not! So enjoy!

xMisaka: Just hang on, you can't rush love ;) And I'm happy to hear that there are few to none mistakes here. And of course that you like it! So hope you enjoy this chapter as mush as you did the others!

Alex: Okay, let me try and picture Kera. As your regular clothes she wears blue slim jeans with black boots. Mostly red tank tops or T-Shirts with a blue jacket/jean jacket (like from Family's Christmas Chaos chapter) But in the GMG I was thinking like Erza's outfit just with purple slim jeans and instead the armored gloves she would have purple/black gloves. Also include the cloak she had on during the final battle ;) Hope that helps ;) I can't draw so I can't give you a picture. And also yes Crystol is a she ;) Hope this helped!

Dark impetus: That outfit does look amazing and would be fit for a Queen. Especially the cape ;)

Hikage Izumi: Well I wrote it down at the beginning of this AN so vote for whoever you want! It's one of those three possibilities!

Lord kyurem: Yes Necrid was a human soldier that seeked out Soul Edge like the rest of them. He got turned into the demon and sent to the Chaos where he went insane and such. I do feel sorry for the guy ;)

Dragon storm: Thank you, and if you think that then vote for Necrid ;)

Pizza joe: That's true, what's a weapon without its master. They both are necessary and important.

Fon master: Necrid is awesome so if you want him in vote for him ;)

Wow long AN, haha, well enjoy guys!


Kera raised her arms in front of her as the shadow descended on her. She waited for the hit, some sort of pain, but yet it never came. Instead she felt something smash into her. Opening her eyes she saw two white arms around her. She turned her head back and saw Archangel was holding her. She had grabbed her before the shadow hit her.

The Exceed sighed in relief. "I arrived just in time."

She let Kera go who stumbled back holding her abdomen. She was still injured and the sudden attack from Archangel didn't help much.

People around them took a step back at what they saw but Kera was still confused as to what was going on. Archangel was standing in front of her so she was blocking her view. "What's going on?" She asked stumbling on her feet.

Archangel had her sword drawn out as a figure spoke. "You had to get in the way!"

"I will stop you and your plans. You are not going to get anywhere near her." She stated. "Not when I am still breathing."

Kera stumbled around to see who had tried to kill her. Her eyes went wide when she saw the person. "R-Rogue?" She asked shocked.

It was him, she was definite about it, but he looked so different. He looked older and… more sadistic! The man who looked like an older version of Rogue gritted his teeth. "I thought I left you with the others to die."

Kera frowned. "Wait… are you saying that Natsu and Lucy are in trouble?"

The older Rogue chuckled as he saw her. "Don't worry about them. You on the other hand should be." With that his whole body turned into a shadow. He somehow passed Archangel with ease before heading straight for Kera.

In the last second she was able to dodge the shadow but Rogue appeared and punched her back. He then casted shadows around his hands before shooting it at the brunette who was still regaining her composure. The shadow hit her and she screamed out in pain.

Kera hit the ground gasping for air. "Kera!" Erza shouted in shock. Archangel quickly slashed her sword down towards Rogue. He dodged the attack but quickly was kicked back.

Gray and Lisanna ran over to Kera and pulled her back carefully. Lisanna made sure she was alright while Gray joined Archangel to fight this Rogue look alike.

The white Exceed saw this and frowned slightly. "Go Gray. I'll take care of him. Take Kera and get her out of here."

"What? Why?" He asked.

"Just do it!" Archangel shouted at him.

Rogue laughed as he stood back up on his feet. "You won't get in the way of my plans. I will get my way. Because now she is weak and vulnerable. I will become the Dragon King!"

Kera gasped as Lisanna pulled her up on her feet before supporting her. "Come on, we have to leave." They were about to leave but Rogue appeared in front of them with a sick grin on his face. He quickly threw Lisanna back while grabbing Kera by the neck. She gasped for air again as she clung at his arm.

Squeezing his hand tighter Rogue grinned wider as he saw the girl in front of him squirming for her life. If she died right here then everything would go to plan. He watched her eyes slowly going dull as her struggles became less.

"Get your hands off of her!" A voice yelled. Before he knew it, Rogue was blasted back letting Kera go. She hit the ground as she was finally able to breathe in air again.

"Are you okay?" Kera glanced up and she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Hibiki was above her looking down at her worriedly. "H-Hib-iki?" She coughed still trying to get air in her lungs.

He smiled at her and nodded. "It's me. Don't worry, I got you."

Several emotions started to swirl inside of her. Why was he here? Why would he help her? Did he still have feelings for her? But he cheated on her! Why would he save her? He helped her back on her feet, even though it was a little slow.

Rogue gritted his teeth. "Hibiki, I knew you would be trouble. It seems I have missed my chance by a few minutes."

Kera coughed slightly. "Who the hell are you?" She asked him. He looked so much like Rogue. He sounded like him, but he was with Sting making sure others were alright. They had made a truce between Sabertooth and Fairy Tail… except for Minerva.

"I'm Rogue." He said with a grin. Everyone around them looked confused. "But Rogue… he's with Sting. You can't be him."

Archangel shook her head. "It is Rogue. The future Rogue."

"What?" Kera asked shocked glancing at the person who had tried to kill her.

"That is correct. I am Rogue from the future. I have come back in time to make things right." He explained while having this sick amusing smile on his face.

Others started to join in the conversation. "By killing her? How is that going to benefit anyone!?" Erza shouted.

Rogue was standing in the middle of a crowd of people with Kera who was being supported by Hibiki and Archangel was standing with her sword drawn. The man laughed. "Oh, it will benefit… me."

He glanced at Kera and bowed with mockery written all over it. "I forgot to bow to the Queen of all Dragons, the most powerful and highly regarded person in the future." He raised his head. "And my number one target."

Kera gritted her teeth. "You're a Dragon Slayer, you should be, even though I do not always take advantage of this position, listening to me. I am your Queen."

"Well… I do not believe that you are capable of your position. You do not know what the future holds. Because of you it is in ruins."

"W-What?" She asked shocked.

"Don't listen to him Kera." Archangel told her. "Rogue isn't the only one who came back from the future. Lucy did as well. She warned us. She gave her life so we could get to you. Kera, if you die the future world will be in ruins."

Rogue chuckled. "To be exact if you die I become Dragon King."

"What will that title do good for you?" Kera asked with a frown. What was a stupid title do anyway?

Archangel tightened her grip on her sword. "Kera, if he kills you there won't be anyone able to stop Achnologia and Zeref! I know Natsu and the others are strong but without you they won't be able to do it. Also with the title of Dragon King he can control the dragons that are coming towards us!"

Kera gritted her teeth. That would be bad. Rogue smirked as he took a step forward. "The Queen of Dragons, you Kera, are a very important person in the future. Your friend Lucy closed the gates that caused the destruction of our world."

"Lucy would never do that." Kera shot back but hissed in pain. She was still battered up from the games. She was in no shape to fight Rogue. Hibiki held her. "Take it easy Kera."

"Oh she would!" Rogue stated. "She is the one who ruined this world before you did. After the doors closed the dragons were able to destroy everything. Some people died but you Fairy Tail were able to get out with not much harm done. Except for your precious Hibiki. He died as well as some other friends of yours." Rogue lowered his head and shook it. "At first you took it alright. But weeks later…" He shook his head.

He then snapped his head up and pointed at her. "You Kera finally lost control and ordered all the dragons for the extinction of human kind! You snapped and tried to kill everyone!" He shouted pointing at her.

Everyone stayed quiet. Kera couldn't believe it. She really was the cause for everyone to die? Was she… really going to kill all her friends? Hibiki noticed this and shook her. "Hey, don't listen to him. He's probably lying. You wouldn't do that."

Would she? She lost control… she almost killed Erza… what would stop her from killing everyone?

Archangel glared down at Rogue. "So you are doing this for the greater good? Why not just stop Lucy from closing the gates? Why isn't that enough? Then Kera wouldn't lose control."

"Caught on quickly." He chuckled. "I want to kill her because I want that power for myself. I am going to be the ruler of all dragons. I will kill the Queen, the most feared person even for the dragons themselves!" He laughed. Quickly he turned into a shadow and headed straight towards Kera yet again passing Archangel.

Kera couldn't move since she was still in pain and Hibiki moved in front of her. But she knew he wouldn't stand a chance either. That's why she pushed him away. She was not going to let anyone die for her. If she had to die, she will do it, but she won't take her friends with her.

"Kera don't!" Hibiki yelled as he hit the ground. Kera watched the shadow head for her. "I won't let that future come to life." She said simply to herself. She lowered her head ready for execution. She knew the others would stop him, but she can't let herself be the reason for the death of her friends.

A sudden blur appeared in front of her. Kera's eyes went wide. Out of nowhere Erza jumped in front of her summoning a sword and cutting the shadow in half. The two halves of the shadow passed them and came back together behind them.

Rogue appeared again a little pissed that he still wasn't able to kill her.

Erza frowned as she leaned on her crutch. "You won't get her. No matter what you say, it won't change our minds. Even if it was true that she is the reason of the extinction of human kind, we won't let you kill her."

Kera couldn't believe she was doing this. "Erza…"

The red head turned around, but looked passed her to Rogue. "Also, she is part of our family and we won't let anything happen to her."

Rogue smirked as he chuckled slightly. "Do you really believe you can do anything? There is a reason why I came at this time. You are all at your weakest and the most vulnerable. She is at her weakest and most vulnerable." He said turning to Kera.

Kera gritted her teeth. He was right, she was weak and vulnerable. She doesn't have any or barely any magic left, she is injured badly and she is extremely out of it. She had no chance on beating Rogue in this state she was in. She's just an injured, helpless little girl.

No!

Her breath hitched. No, no, no, no! Not now! Any time but now! She thought panicked. Kera gasped as she fell to her knees, pain running through her head. It wasn't much but she didn't have any strength to fight back.

Rogue took a step back seeing what was happening. He gritted his teeth. "No, you should be weak! You shouldn't be able to transform! The dragons aren't even here yet!" He shouted a little bit panicked.

Kera yelped as she fell on her hands and knees. Her abdomen was burning and her vision was blurry. She couldn't concentrate. She couldn't fight back! She…

I will not let him win! He will die for his actions!

The brunette cried out in pain as she turned around and fell on her back. Her eyes were now slits and her body was changing. Her hands turned into claws and her legs the same. Her back arched and yet again white lines ran down her face down her body and arms.

Erza, Archangel and Hibiki looked horrified. "Kera!" They shouted. Erza, who was the closest to her tried to help her, but her friend stopped screaming in agony and simply stood up. Erza noticed that she was now different again. Why won't this stupid dragon leave Kera alone!?

Kera's head rose up in the air and she glared at Rogue who flinched slightly. This was not part of his plan. Definitely not. "You wish to kill the Queen of Dragons? Then I shall show you the true power of the Dragon Queen!"

Rogue laughed slightly. "You can't fight. Not in that pitiful body! You are injured and I am completely fine. You don't even have any magic energy left!"

"Then I shall change the playing field." Kera's voice sounded a mix of her own voice and that of a dragon. Her eyes flashed a golden and suddenly a white aura surrounded her. Closing her eyes she let the aura run through her body.

Erza was shocked as she saw what was happening. The white aura was actually healing all of Kera's injuries!

Archangel stood there paralyzed. "Impossible."

"Is that how she healed before the final battle?" Erza wondered to herself.

Kera opened her eyes her golden eyes flashing again. Everyone was shocked to see Kera now completely healed from her injuries. Even the one from her abdomen. Rogue snarled slightly. This was not how he planned this.

The now dragon possessed Kera grinned at Rogue showing her fangs. "Now, shall we begin?"

Now that is a mean cliffhanger! Well I'll stop blabbing, I already did enough at the beginning ;) Anyway, don't forget to leave your opinion in a review!

Until next time!
