The Eclipse Gate

It was a beautiful starry night where a young blonde maiden stood by five young orphans right in front of a gate. She was talking to a young man that was one of her old classmate and best friend. She kept on staring at the gate feeling terrified at what was going to occur if something went wrong.

"I wonder what the kids are feeling right about now. I'm scared that something bad might happen and I won't be able to protect them. What if one of my descendants didn't get the book and as a result, the kids and I are trapped in time? I just wish that I could push all my fears away but I just can't right now," the woman thought to herself.

"Anna are you okay," her best friend Zeref Dragneel asked with concerned as he watches as she began fidgeting with her keyring. He knew that she was terrified at what could happen if something was wrong, he was too but he tried to put on a brave face hoping that she would open the gate.

Anna was a young woman with a shapely hourglass figure. She tied her hair back in a ponytail and had side-swept bangs in front, with two strands of hair draped down the sides of her head. Anna was dressed in elegant robes with a high-collared cloak and wore a keyhole blouse and a long blue dress.

"I'm just a little scared about the different possibilities. I've been trying to just tell myself that it'll be okay but for some reason it isn't working at all," Anna answered as she stared at her friend Zeref who smiled at her. Zeref was a young pale immortal man who had short dark hair and dark black eyes. He was wearing a high-collared red and tan robe with gold trim, along with a large, flowing white toga draped around his torso.

"Well Anna, calm down a little and then we'll open the Eclipse Gate. After all where is that confident woman that was powerful enough to defeat one of my etherious demons? "

"Zeref, I was only able to defeat him because I had my celestial spirits with me to fight him. But the moment I open that gate, I'll be forced to lose all of my keys and spirits to the future. They'll all have different owners and I'll never see them again," Anna declared as tears began streaming down her face as she thought about the future.

Anna watched as the young sky dragon slayer gave her a huge hug, looking at her in concerned. Anna made a tiny smile as she tried reassuring the young girl that she was fine. Wendy was a kind and gentle child who Anna honestly wishes wouldn't have to be forced to fight the Dragon of Destruction.

She turned her head, watching as the fire dragon slayer and the iron dragon slayer continued fighting one another as they began beating each other up on the grass. She giggled a little watching as Sting and Rogue just continue to encourage their idols to fight one another.

"Natsu and Gajeel please stop fighting," Anna asked kindly watching as the two boys looked at her and stopped their fighting. The two boys looked at the blonde woman and quickly began stopping not wanting to make the woman mad at them. The five dragon slayers all looked up to Anna like she was their mother.

Anna decided to take one last look around the area before she would say farewell to her time and she would say hello to the future. She turned her head and looked at the forest, reminiscing of the time that she taught all the dragon slayers how to read in the forest as the dragon watched over them. She could recall the time that the dragon Igneel offered to fly her to the mountain top with Natsu and Zeref.

Anna continued to recall all the fun times that she spent with the dragon slayers, the dragons, and Zeref as her mind wandered toward the reason why she had to open the gate. Anna could briefly recall the time that a bunch of chaotic dragons flew over her home and destroyed it forcing her to escape.

"Anna are you ready to open the gate," Zeref Dragneel asked her; he could tell that she was briefly recalling everything that occurred to them.

"I'm ready Zeref but I have one last thing that I need you to promise me. I need you to promise me, that you'll be there when the dragons' slayers and I pass through the gate," Anna asked him.

"I promise you that I'll be there to meet all of you," Zeref promised as he watched her walk a little toward the gate.

She stood straight up as she reached for all of her golden keys. She stared at each one of her golden keys recalling all of the adventures that she had with her spirits.

The Gate has a large door with an elaborate design. At the center of the door is a sun with a darkened moon below it. The lower section of the door from the sun past the moon is dark blue with golden lines, the upper section is green and split into twelve segments. Around the sun are several circles, the innermost one connecting the moon and twelve holes, one in each segment. A set of steps leads up to the door and two pillars stand on either side of the door with an arch connecting them. Atop the arch is an emblem consisting of an eclipsed sun.

"I'm going to miss all of you," she whispered to her keys as she stared at the very first key that she ever received as a young child. She stared at Capricorn her first celestial spirit she ever received from her grandmother; she could recall all of the training that Capricorn made her do, from running laps all the way to meditation.

She threw Capricorn's golden key into the air watching as it stayed afloat due to all of the magical power that Anna poured into it. She then took the golden key of Virgo and threw it in the air, recalling all of the time that the two of them pulled pranks on Zeref and the dragon slayers by making holes in the ground.

She then grabbed the golden key of Sagittarius and launched it in the air, reminiscing of the time that Zeref gave her the key for her birthday. She then grabbed the key of Aries and threw it in the air, as she recalled all the times that Aries would babysit the different dragon slayers.

She grasped the golden key of Gemini and flung it in the air, thinking back on the time that they infiltrated a castle to defeat a powerful demon. She then held the golden key of Scorpio in her hand, and tossed it in the air, remembering the time that they worked together to defeat a powerful earth monster.

Anna continued throwing a key in the air, this time thinking of the time that Libra and she used Libra gravity magic to try flying in the air. She then once again threw the key of Leo into the air, thinking of the time that Leo saved her from a dragon.

She watched as the key of Pisces gathered with the eight other key in the air, and she thought of the time that Pisces would play with all the five children, teaching them all how to swim in the water. She then stared at the golden key of Taurus, recalling all of the time that he would protect her and beat up any male who would try to court her.

She watched as she key of Cancer gather with the ten other key in the air, and she thought of all the time that Cancer would style and cut the five children hair. Finally, she held Aquarius key and threw Aquarius key in the air along with all the other eleven keys.

Anna, Zeref, and the five dragon slayers all watched as the twelves keys created a huge circle in the sky causing a huge bright light to appear.

Anna then placed both of her hands together and chanted, "All of the celestial spirits of the Zodiac. Lend me the strength to open the gateway of time. Open, Gate of the Twelve Zodiacs signs, the Zodiac!"

Anna continued pouring all her magic powers into the keys, as a huge bright circle of light consumed her. She watched as each one of her spirits appeared in the circle, smiling at her. Anna watched as each one of her spirits flew toward the Eclipse gate.

The door slowly began to open and they all watched as a bright blinding light appear, causing Anna and everyone to close their eyes.

"Anna it's time for you all to go through the gate," Zeref stated as they all began walking toward the gate.

Anna grabbed both Wendy's and Natsu's hand as the three other kids held each other hand as they all walked into the gate, leaving their life in the past behind them.

(In the Void of Time)

"Where am I," Anna asked as she floated into an abyss. All she could see was darkness and Anna could hear four kids mutter how scared they all were while she heard Rogue say how the darkness reminded him of Skiadrum.

That was when she saw a bright light appear and standing right in front of her was the Celestial Spirit King. Anna stared at the celestial spirit king, as she recalled the time he helped her defeat one of Zeref Etherious Demons.

"Anna Heartfilia you are in the void of time," he told the celestial wizard.

"Excuse me for asking you this, but how did you end up here," Anna asked. Anna couldn't understand how the Celestial Spirit King was inside Eclipse.

"Anna Heartfilia, I have the ability to control time itself, so I have the ability to travel through time. The reason why I am here is because I decided to give you a parting gift from your spirits before you arrive in the future."

"What kind of gifts would my spirits want to give me?" Anna asked as she recalled saying farewell to her spirits.

"Anna each one of your Zodiacs wanted to give you some of their powers as you embark on your quest to defeat Acnologia. Another thing Anna before I go, unfortunately you're going to be starting from scratch so I recommend that you find some celestial keys," the Celestial Spirit King recommended.

The Celestial Sprit began to glow bright gold as he poured energy into Anna, causing her to feel more powerful as the knowledge of the Zodiac power began to appear in her head.

"Good luck Anna in all of your future endeavors. May the light of the stars guide you in your quest," the Celestial Spirit King announced as he began fading away.

"Farewell your Majesty," Anna screamed as he faded away.

Anna and the five dragon slayers all began to allow slumber to consume them as they continued passing through the gate.

(In the year X777)

Anna finally awoke from her slumber, only to awake to the gate slowly opening from the side of the future. Anna could feel the young dragon slayers holding her hand but the minute the gate opened she could no longer fell the kids' hands.

Anna began to walk out of the gate only to find Zeref, a young blonde woman who she assumed was one of her descendants and a short man.

"The gate that been passed down through our royal family for generations. Seeing someone finally come to open it was surprising enough," the short man was shocked.

The short man, the young blonde woman, and the dark mage all saw a young woman walk out of the gate.

"But now someone is actually coming out from inside the gate," the short man said in amazement.

The woman continued walking out of the gate, coming toward them.

"Who is this woman," the short man asked the young blonde woman, who was panting from all the celestial magic that she just used to open the gate.

"This woman is known as Anna Heartfilia and she is one of the greatest celestial mages in this world," Zeref explained to everyone.

"May I ask, what year is it currently," she asked the young blonde descendant of hers.

"It's year X777," the woman answered.

"400 years in the future, so we actually succeeded," Anna said a little flustered as she turned her head hoping to her the kids say something.

But to Anna misfortune, she didn't see the kids at all.

"What of the children? There should have been five of them together with me!"

Anna stared at the two unfamiliar faces who were just puzzled.

"I don't know anything about the children, but when the gate opened, five lights went flying outside, and they pierced straight through the ceiling," the short man stated.

"Anna unfortunately when the gate opened, the dragon slayers went flying outside," Zeref explained to her.

"Who are you," Anna asked the young blonde woman.

"Oh my mistake, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Layla Heartfillia."

"I'm sorry ladies but have a lot to talk about," Zeref stated as they all left the room and went toward the balcony.

"So the gate really did connect different times," Layla stated in amazement.

"Yes it did and you opened it. So thank you Layla for that," Anna appreciated as she stared at the beautiful city and the stars.

Layla then began to recite a quote, "To you who lives in an era of powerful Ethernano. When the sun and moon intersect, use the 12 keys to open the gate."

That was when Layla took a book out and showed it to Anna. That was when Anna began to recall the time that she began to write it.

"It was hard for me to believe this. But my family has owned this book since before my grandmother's birth," Layla explained.

"That book that you're holding I wrote it," Anna informed.

That was when Toma E. Fiore who was the king said in confusion, "Wait a second, I don't get what you're talking about?"

"In order to arrive in the future, Anna needed someone from this era to open the gate," Zeref explained.

"So you actually came from 400 years ago," the king of Fiore exclaimed.

"That would be correct," Anna replied.

"However I read the book and it never specifies the reason behind your journey. So why exactly did you come to the future?" Layla questioned.

"We'll explain everything when the time comes," Zeref stated.

"If Layla-san opened the gate now, then that must mean this era is brimming with a lot of magic power?" Toma thought.

"I don't really know. This isn't really something that has a set value. I had a different reason for opening the gate. I chose to open the gate so my daughter, Lucy wouldn't have to carry out this responsibility. I want her to be free from this burden and to travel around the world. That's why I decided to end the duty of the Heartfilia today," Layla explained.

"I see, thank you for everything Layla," Anna thanked. Anna was quite proud that her descendant decided to open the gate so that her descendant daughter would have a chance to live her own life.

"I'm proud of my lineage for having followed my mission. You've done a wonderful job," Anna praised. She was happy to have such a powerful descendant in her family.

"It was nothing," Layla answered modestly.

"Now that you have fulfilled your duty of opening the gate, you and your family are free to live together," Anna told Layla who face was full of relief.

"Yes, and please Ms. Anna visit my family any time at the Heartfilia mansion," Layla announced wanting to see the celestial spirit mage again in the future.

"However, I need to get going. I need to find the five children since they are an integral part of the plan," Anna said her farewell.

Anna and Zeref both began walking as Anna bid her farewell to Layla.

"By the way, King Toma make sure to destroy the gate," Layla ordered him.

"That said, to think that 400 years later human culture would thrive so much. I was correct in assuming that Acnologia would have no interest in attacking men," Zeref told Anna.

"However, was this really the right choice? No I mustn't waver! I have to believe in the dragons' plan!"

"Zeref where should I go to find Natsu and the others," Anna asked, having no idea where she should go.

"I could take you to this one guild that an old friend of mine created. However your descendant Layla, I believe you should visit her by the end of the week and tell her our plans. You could also meet her daughter Lucy who's a kind kid that I met a few hours ago," Zeref recommended.

"So Anna, what are you going to do now that you have to start over from scratch? It's going to be difficult now that you don't have any celestial spirits."

"In the void of time, I was given my celestial spirits powers by the Celestial Spirit King so I guess I'm going to travel around, trying to find the dragon slayers and some celestial keys," Anna explained.
