Upon Mercurius, smoke arises around the Eclipse Gate as the large door stood strong after receiving numerous amounts of magic attacks from Lucy and the others who were trying to destroy it to prevent Future Rogue from ever coming back in the past.

"no matter how much magic we hit it, it's still standing!" said Gray while huffing his breath.

"I'm running out of juice!" said Mira as her Satan Soul came undone.

"we still got to try!" stated Lucy while taking out Taurus' Zodiac Key. "for everyone and our world's sake! We got to try!"

"yes!" said Yukino as she takes out Libra's Zodiac Key.

"let's try a one area repetitive attack" said Lily. "hitting it in the same place over and over till it breaks."

"worth a shot" added Charla as Gray, Mira, Lucy, and Yukino nodded.


Upon the sky, Atlas Flame rams his head against Motherglare as both dragons roared while battling each other. On Motherglare's back are Natsu and Future Rogue, both are battling at an even large scale.

"go back!" shouted Natsu as he punches Future Rogue's right cheek hard before doing the same action to the future man's gut. "to your time!"

"why won't you people understand?! Becoming the king is the only way to avoid such a catastrophic future that is coming!" shouted Future Rogue as he charges black and white magic energy in both hands before unleashing rays of them at Natsu who breathes out flames to burn them away. "as long as Acnologia exists! There is no future! That is why I came back to this time and create a new future! Where I be the right king of this world! The king that will alter everyone's fate to my light!"

"your light is tainted!" shouted Natsu as he went against Future Rogue and sends a powerful flaming right hook at the man's face. Future Rogue grunted before he got an uppercut chin from Natsu whose eyes glows red. "altering everyone's fate by your own!? That is not something you decide! Everyone's path is their own fate and their own destiny that they make themselves! No one else makes it!"

Natsu's fists rages in flames as the man sends fury of punches at Future Rogue who retaliated with his own version of the attack. Both mages exchanged fists against each other at high speed that sparks of flames, light, and shadows were coming everywhere around the two.

"the future! Everyone's fate! Is everyone's choice to decide!" shouted Natsu as the left side of his face gets covered in black flame markings that corrupted the man's left eye and turned it demonic like. "no one gets to decide whose fate is to be! Future Lucy's fate! Lucy's fate! Everyone's fate! They're not yours to change!"

"NATSU!" Atlas Flame roared out as he swung his flaming claw at Natsu whose body is ignited in flames while having his right fist pulled back.

"everyone lives their life to the fullest for the future!" shouted Natsu as he swung the flaming right fist towards Future Rogue's Kagejun, the power of his fist plus the power of Atlas Flame's flaming claw swing put enough force and destroyed the pendant into two. "GO BACK TO YOUR OWN TIME, ROGUE!"

'IMPOSSIBLE!' screamed Future Rogue in his mind as he roared in pain, Natsu's flaming punch swung the future man right at Motherglare's back before erupting into a flaming geyser.

"guoooh!" roared Motherglare in pain as Natsu's flames rages even more to the point that the chromed dragon is engulfed in flames.


Within the city, Ikaruga with the other mages takes out the dragon hatchlings as they took them out by numbers and magic power.

Ikaruga controls the Ashura Statue to slam down its big foot down at a group of dragon hatchlings and squashed them before she looks up and sees a large flaming meteor coming down at Mercurius.

"that's…" said Ikaruga in seeing the flaming meteor.


At the Eclipse Gate, Lucy and the others were still trying to destroy the large gate, but they couldn't do anything to damage it at all.

"We can't even put a scratch onto it" said Lucy while looking exhausted.

"we can't even Mooove it at all" said Taurus while wielding his axe with a tired look. The Bull Spirit having been summoned before by Lucy in helping destroy the Eclipse Gate.

"hey guys" said Mira as she hears something before looking up. "t-that!"

"what's that?!" exclaimed Gray as he looks up

"huh? What!?" said Yukino as she looks up and sees the falling burning dragon.

"run!" Lily exclaimed as everyone runs for cover for the burning dragon came straight at the Eclipse Gate and exploded

BOOM!

A giant explosion fell upon the gate as it shook the whole kingdom.

Lucy and the others got up and looks at the large smoke that slowly blows away and reveals the Eclipse Gate destroyed by Motherglare who crashed upon it. The Dragon's tail is hold up before it fell, for the Dragon is defeated.

Future Rogue is laying on Motherglare's back; unconscious, the future man defeated as Natsu stood over him with the left side of his face demonic.

Natsu took in a deep breath of air from his nose before he let out a victory roar that echoed everywhere.

"way to go, Natsu!" exclaimed Mira with a grin.

"the gate..it's destroyed!" said Yukino with a smile.

"he did it!" added Gray with a big grin.

"the Magnium Alloy framed Eclipse Gate….destroyed?" said Arcadios in surprise.

"now…what happens?" said Hisui after seeing the gate being destroyed.

"the future…is going to be rewritten!" said Lucy as the 7 Dragons of the past started to glow.

"am i…..returning to my time?" said Atlas Flame as he hovers in the area by Mercurius before his flaming body glows goldenly in color.

"the Dragon's….they're…glowing?" said Lily in seeing the scene.

"with the Eclipse Gate gone..the Future Rogue couldn't ever bring them here, therefore..they're going to disappear" said Charla as the dragons disappeared one by one in the city.

"damnit! Humans! Just puny humans!" shouted Zirconis in rage before he got a blast of lightning from Draco. "remember this! I will find and kill you for betraying your own kin, Draco!"

"come and I will defeat you once again" said Draco with a growl as he watches Zirconis disappear into golden sparkles

"may we meet someday yet again…" said Atlas Flame as he slowly disappears before he turns into sparkles. "….Natsu"

"someday, Uncle" said Natsu as he slowly closed his eyes for the fire dragon that disappears back to his time.

All the small dragon hatchlings disappeared as everyone sees that it means the worse is over.

"we won!" "the dragons are gone!" "alright!" "we won the day!" the mages within Crocus cheered as the battle has finally ended. All were cheering in happiness while 7 people weren't.

"not a single dragon slayer…" said Mavis as she floated upon the wrecked city. "…was able to defeat any of the dragons."

Natsu stood over Future Rogue who is glowing as he is slowly disappearing back to his time.

"if you can really change fate…." Said Future Rogue as Natsu looks at him. "tell my past self….to keep Frosch safe…because a year from now….Frosch will get killed…"

"by what?" said Natsu to Future Rogue.

"not by what….but by who" replied Future Rogue as his lips paused for a moment before forming a single sentence that made Natsu's eyes widen. "when that day comes, the shadows swallowed me. Make sure that Frosch is kept safe by the past me before that time comes."

Natsu looks at Future Rogue as the man disappears into sparkles and back to the future of where he once came from.

"the future….is so horrid" said Natsu as he looks at his left side, the man's artificial arm seems to have fused with demonic black bone tentacles that were slowly regressing away. "fate….is no longer my ally."

"NATSU! HEY!" Mira hollered to the man as Natsu turns to see the group running to him with happy smiles on their faces.

Natsu had a small smile in return as he soon winced his eyes a bit for the sun was running from the horizon, the 7th day morning had finally begun for everyone with a brand new start.


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
