"Close the Gate!"

Lucy shouted out suddenly.

"Hey, Lucy you alright," Gray asked.

"Gray, everyone," Lucy looked around and saw her team surrounding her,

"You froze for a minute there," Juvia told her,

"And you shouted close the gate, what does that mean," Wendy asked.

Lucy shook her head "I don't know, a voice in my head is repeating that to me, I don't know what that means,"

"Strange, maybe you hit your head something during the fight," Mira suggested,

"Maybe," Lucy nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look once we meet up with the others," Wendy smiled.

"Thank you, Wendy," Lucy smiled.

As the others talked, Erza stood there stroking her chin.

"What's wrong Erza," Kurama asked.

"It's just what she said 'Close the Gate' what could it mean," Erza answered.

"Who knows," Kurama shrugged. "Maybe something happened when Natsu used his Sharingan on her,"

"You think something like that is possible," Erza said.

Kurama nodded "Yes, the Sharingan is powerful. Even strong enough that its genjutsu can be set off at a certain time,"

"Maybe it has something to do with Orochimaru's plan," Erza wondered.

"Hey come on you guys, the others are waiting," Laxus called.

As the group was walking they were suddenly stopped by Sting.

"Huh, what do you want kid, the tournament is over," Gajeel glared.

Sting looked down, "I just came to apologize," he bowed.

"What," Gajeel blinked.

"I'd always thought that your guy's way of doing things was weak, but after watching you all fight Natsu-san together it made me realize that fighting for your friends is the right thing to do," Sting bowed "So I'm sorry for how acted towards all of you," Sting turned and ran off, he smiled as he sees Lector, Rogue, and Frosch waiting for him.

"Hmm, what a weird kid," Gajeel scoffed.

Erza smiled "It's alright as long as he learned something, now come on it's time to celebrate,"

Laxus nodded "Yeah bet the old man is already jumping out of his seat,"

…

"All of you have done well," Makarov told the Fairy Tail teams, once they arrived at the team balcony.

"Thank you, Master," they all bowed.

"But still this victory is not without loss," Makarov looked down, as did the others, their thoughts still on Natsu. "But don't let that bring you down. Right now is the time to celebrate,"

"Yeah," Romeo nodded "I mean we just won the GMG which means we're number 1 again,"

"AND WE GOT 30 MILLION JEWEL" Makarov jumped excitedly.

"YEAH! LET'S GO DRINKING!" Cana chugged a barrel.

The other guild members started to congratulate the teams for winning the day, but the celebration was interrupted when a knight entered.

"I am sorry to interrupt the festivities but the king requests all guilds who participated to gather in the city plaza,"

"The king, what would he want?" Makarov wondered.

The others were confused as well, but they obliged and followed the knight to the Plaza. Fairy Tail and all the other guilds have gathered in the plaza. As the group were wondering what was going on, Lucy felt something go through her mind.

"Sorry guys but I have to go check something," Lucy quickly ran off.

"Oi Lucy," Gray called.

"What's with her, she's been acting strange since the fight," Juvia said.

"I'll go follow her," Wendy went after her.

"Not alone you're not," Carla followed.

"Don't forget me," Happy said.

The group then disappeared within the crowd.

"Hmm," Erza stroked her chin.

"What's wrong Erza," Laxus asked.

"It's just that, I have a strange feeling something is going to happen," Erza said.

"Hey, where's Yukino-chan," Millianna said.

"Don't know it looks like she vanished," Risley told her.

"I hope she's okay," Beth worried.

"Don't worry, she's probably just got lost," Risley reassured.

"Yukino left too, strange," Erza said.

"Hmm two celestial wizards go missing, that can't be a coincidence," Kurama said.

"Yeah, but what could it mean," Erza furrowed her brow. "I just have a bad feeling," Erza looked up towards the sky and saw a red full moon. "I better go after him," Erza then ran off to go find Lucy and the others.

"Oi Erza," Gray shouted "Seriously her too,"

"Maybe something is off with them," Gajeel said.

"Attention," the king shouted, getting everyone's attention.

"It's the king,"

"I wonder what he has called us here for," Makarov said sternly.

"I know the Grand Magic Games have just concluded, but I have some terrible news I am afraid to announce," the king looked down.

…

It was then Lucy and her group arrived and to their shock, they saw a large gate standing before them.

"What is that," Wendy said shocked.

"A gate," Carla said.

"But what's for," Happy wondered.

"Hey who are they,"

"This is a restricted area,"

"Oh no, Knights," Happy jumped.

"No it's quite alright," Hisui intervened "This is Fairy Tail my father is a fan,"

"Um who are you," Wendy asked.

"I am Hisui E. Fiore, I am the crowned princess," Hisui bowed.

"The princess," Happy jumped shocked.

Hisui nodded "Might I ask what is Fairy Tail doing here,"

"Um, well Lucy was acting weird and she came here," Happy pointed to Lucy who was staring at the gate.

"What is that," Lucy asked.

"It is the Eclipse Gate," Hisui answered.

"Eclipse Gate," Happy raised an eyebrow.

"It's Ancient Magic that we will use to save this country," Hisui simply said.

"What do you mean to save," Erza asked.

"ERZA!" Happy jumped.

"When did you get here," Wendy said surprised.

Hisui signed "There's no point in hiding it you see…."

"10,000 dragons are going to attack this country," the king announced loudly.

"What," Makarov shook.

"They're asking us to fight," Cana said.

"But 10,000 of them seems too much," Lisanna said.

"Right now we have engaged in a strategy to wipe out a good majority of them, but we need your help to get any stragglers," the king continued.

"I see if their big gun doesn't take them all out then at least we get rid of the majority," Makarov nodded.

"The Eclipse Cannon and you guilds will be our last line of defense," the king said, and he then bowed "so please save this country,"

The guilds were all shocked by the king's gesture, someone as powerful as him bowing before to a group of wizards.

"Of course we'll help," they all shouted, shocking the king.

"10,000 dragons, looks like it's our time to shine Rogue," Sting smirked, and Rogue nodded.

'Good luck Sting-Kun," Lector cheered.

"You too, Rogue," Frosch smiled.

The king teared up at seeing all the wizard guilds willing to put their lives on the line for the kingdom "Thank you,"

"10,000 dragons," Ultear said, shocked.

"That many, even if the Eclipse Cannon takes out most of them they're still dragons," Meredy shook.

Jellal's eyes narrowed "You two stay here, they're somewhere I need to be,"

Jellal then ran off, as he ran he saw exactly who he was looking for. Jellal jumped down, shocking the two men.

"Jellal," Doranbolt said, shocked.

"Why are you here," Lahar questioned.

"I need a favor,"

…

"Eclipse Cannon," Erza said, shocked.

Hisui nodded "It not only acts as a gateway through time but as a powerful magical weapon, with that we can defeat at least half of the 10,000 dragons,"

"I see that sounds at least like a good plan," Carla said.

"We just have to trust in everyone to help defeat the rest," Happy said.

"Now it's time," Hisui swung her arm forward, and the Eclipse Gate started to open slowly.

"Why are you opening it now the dragons aren't here yet," Lucy questioned.

"It takes time for it to fire, that's why we're opening it now," Hisui said.

The group watches as the gate slowly began to open, and they all hear the bell ring signifying that it is midnight.

…

As the bell rang Gajeel looked up at the red moon "It's July 7th,"

"The day your dragon disappeared," Levy asked.

Gajeel nodded "Yeah, and today dragons are going to appear,"

…

Erza and the others watch as the gate opens. Erza still feels something is not right.

"Something doesn't feel right about this," Erza's eyes narrowed.

Kurama nodded "yes, the air feels strange like something is off,"

As the gates began to open a white light was shining through the gateway. The princess and the knights look in amazement not knowing what was about to happen. The gates continued to open, and it was at that moment Lucy's eyes went wide and blank.

"Lucy-san," Wendy said worriedly.

Lucy then slowly started to walk towards the gate chanting the same thing repeatedly "Close the Gate,"

"Lucy, what's wrong," Erza questioned, but Lucy chanted and she continued to walk forward.

"Hey what are you doing here, you can't be here,"

Erza turned and she was shocked to see Mermaid Heel's Yukino there. "Mermaid's Yukino," Erza's eyes widened further and saw that Yukino seemed to be in the same kind of trance as Lucy.

"Close the Gate," Both chanted.

Hisui sees Lucy approaching the gate "What are you doing?"

"We must close the gate," Lucy said.

"What? This is our kingdom's last hope, do you want to destroy the world," Hisui shouted.

"The Gate is not a weapon," Lucy told her. "It's a…."

It was then the whole group felt a large stomp, the earth quaked beneath them.

"What is that," Happy said.

"An earthquake," Carla said.

Wendy's eyes then widen in shock and fear "This power is it.."

"We must close the gate," Lucy shouted.

"No it's our only weapon, we need it," Hisui shouted at her.

"No it's not a weapon, it's a gateway through time," Lucy said in a trance.

It was then the loud footsteps they heard got louder, Hisui and Arcadios turned to their shock and horror, a giant foot emerged from the gate.

"This power," Erza shook.

Kurama's eyes narrowed "Could it be,"

Out of the gate to everyone's horror was a large scaly gray dragon let out a mighty roar that can be heard throughout the city.

"A dragon came out of the gate," Hisui shivered. "But, how.."

The dragon once again made a loud roar, the mere sound destroying buildings, and statues. The beast then slammed its claw to the ground creating a shockwave that destroyed more buildings.

"What the hell was that," Gray shouted.

"Are they here already," Elfman shouted.

Arcadios held the princess protectively "I never imagined they'd be this huge,"

"We don't stand a chance against that,"

It was then another dragon emerged from the gate, then another, and another.

"More is coming out!"

"Quick protect the princess,"

"It wasn't a weapon." Hisui cried, two more dragons then emerged from the gate, one with a body of fire, and one jade in color.

Erza ran up to the princess "Hey don't space out, how do we close the gate,"

Hisui couldn't stop herself from shivering "There, that lever," she pointed.

Close the Gate," Lucy and Yukino chanted again.

It was then another dragon emerged from the gate.

"I made a mistake," Hisui cried "I've doomed this world, not save it,"

"Damn it," Erza stood in front of Wendy to protect her "Lucy, Yukino whatever you two are going to do, do it now!"

"Lucy-san, how do you know this would happen," Wendy shouted.

"I don't think she does," Erza told her.

"What," Happy said, shocked.

"Look, she and Yukino are in trance, someone must have put them under a spell," Erza said. "Could it be Natsu,"

Both Lucy and Yukino in their trance took out their Golden Keys, the two then joined hands and started to chant a spell.

"Celestial Spirits of the 12 Golden Keys, Lend us the power to seal away the evil. Open 12 Gates,"

The loud bell ring of Celestial keys rang throughout the city.

ZODIAC

It was then both Lucy and Yukino were hit but golden light, and surrounding them are the 12 Celestial Spirits.

"Woah its the 12 Celestial Spirits,"

"Close the Gate" Both Lucy and Yukino uttered,

The 12 Spirits then flew into the air and split in half. Each half took one side of the gate and used their power to close it.

"The Gate is Closing," Happy jumped.

"They're doing it," Carla smiled.

One more dragon tried to get through the gate, but it was too late. The 12 Spirits with all of their close the gate sealing it.

"Woah, They did it!"

"They did it," Wendy, and Happy jumped.

Erza smirked "Thank Goodness, but…"

"It's too early to celebrate how many dragons got through," Arcadios questioned.

"7, sir,"

It was then both Lucy, and Yukino broke out of their trance.

"Huh, what happened," Lucy blinked.

"Why are we here," Yukino wondered.

"Lucy-san, Yukino-san, are you okay," Wendy ran up to them.

"Wendy, what happened," Lucy asked.

"You guys closed the gate, turns out it wasn't a weapon," Happy told her.

"But how did you two know," Carla asked.

"I don't know, I just heard a voice telling me to close the gate," Lucy answered.

Yukino nodded "Yes, the same for me,"

"We'll think about it later, for now, we have a problem to deal with," Erza told them.

It was then the group started to hear someone slow clap.

"Well done, never would I have thought you close the gate,"

Erza's eyes narrowed at the approaching man "Orochimaru,"

"I'm impressed, you knew that the gate could only be closed with Celestial magic," Orochimaru smirked. "It must be his doing"

"You," Hisui said.

Arcadios glared at Orochimaru "Bastard, you lied to us,"

Orochimaru snickered "Please it's your fault for being tricked in the first place,"

"So this was your plan, unleashing hell on earth with dragons," Erza said.

"Yes," Orochimaru raised his arms "in a way, I just want to test how humanity evolved since my time, and what better way than a dragon invasion but still I must thank you 10000 would have been way too much,"

"What," Erza went wide-eyed.

"To me Dragons," Orochimaru shouted, and all 7 of them landed behind Orochimaru.

"Is he controlling them?" Erza said, shocked.

"But how," Wendy said, shocked.

Orochimaru smirked evilly.

"Now kill them all!"
