Chapter 1

Natsu had done it. He had managed to push back Future Rogue and his dragon army back into the Eclipse Gate. However, Future Rogue's warning and description of the future still ran through Natsu's mind. A sense of uneasiness came over the young Dragon Slayer, as the bright future he had envisioned was now something that seemed to be an impossibility.

'Are we really doomed? Will I really die? And I can't do anything about it?' Natsu thought solemnly. Everyone around Natsu was cheering,applauding, and congratulating the young mage for his valiant efforts and his magnificent battle with the corrupted Dragon Slayer from the future. Members of Fiore's most infamous guild, Fairy Tail, were cheering Natsu's name, and talking about the huge party they were going to have in honor of their victory when they got back home. However, Natsu wasn't cheering. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen.

"Natsu, why do you look so glum? We won! You should be celebrating with everyone else!" a feminine voice said. Natsu looked to where the voice came from, and saw the blonde Celestial mage, Lucy. Natsu just shook his head in response.

"Sorry Luce, I just gotta bad feeling like something really bad is gonna happen." Natsu said. Lucy patted her friend on the back and shook her head.

"You're worrying too much Natsu. It's not like you. C'mon, we won! Everything is going to be alright now!" Lucy said happily. Natsu sighed. Maybe he was worrying too much, but his gut told him otherwise. The feeling that something unspeakably terrible was going to happen just wouldn't leave him.

"Yeah...maybe you're right." Natsu said warily. He only said that so he wouldn't worry Lucy, but she didn't seem convinced. However, out of respect for her friend, she didn't push the issue, not wanting to push him too far. He's dealt with enough today already.

As the group started leaving the barren battlefield, the Eclipse Gate started shaking. Natsu stopped, feeling the sudden, unwarranted movement of the Eclipse Gate. he turned to see the gates moving and shaking. The other members of Fairy Tail also stopped and turned and saw this even happening. No one said anything, as they were too shocked to see that the battle may not be over after all.

The members of Fairy Tail got into their respective battle stances, waiting for something to happen. The gate started shaking more violently and rapidly with each passing second. Suddenly, the gate stopped shaking. The members of the guild slowly eased up as minutes passed, and nothing happened.

"Guess it was just a false al-" Gray began, but was cut off, as the shaking began once again. However, it was much more violent, causing the earth to shake with it. Fairy Tail got ready once again. Natsu's hand became engulfed in fire, Lucy had her keys ready, ice-cold mist began to swirl around gray, while Erza re-quipped into her "Heaven's Wheel" armor. Laxus became engulfed, and the Thunder God Tribe followed suit in their leaders example, Juvia summoned water around her, creating a swirling vortex of water around her, while the Strauss siblings went into their respective and signature "Take-Over" forms. After several minutes of just waiting while the Eclipse Gate created a massive earthquake, the gate finally burst open. At first, nothing happened. The inside of the gate was black, seemingly empty. After some time passed, a white flash erupted from the gate. Now, inside the gate was a white portal, lightning occasionally bursting forth from it. The members of Fairy Tail looked on in awe, wondering who or what was coming from the gates. Could it be Future Rogue and his dragons again? Or perhaps, someone or something else?

An eternity seemed to pass, and nothing came out of the gate. But Fairy Tail didn't relax. Not even for a moment. It was a good thing they didn't. After several minutes, a symbol appeared out of the gate. A symbol that meant a great deal to the members of Fairy Tail. One that symbolized an endless adventure. One that symbolized friendship, home, and love.

They saw the symbol of Fairy Tail on a red flag, appear from the Eclipse Gate.

The members of Fairy Tail immediately dropped their guard. They all thought one thing.

Fairy Tail from the future?

They all thought that this was a great thing. Fairy Tail, no matter what time period it was, was a force for good. But one member of the famous guild was still tense. He refused to drop his guard. The Fire Dragon Slayer couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. There was something about that flag that filled him with a sense of dread and anxiety.

Then, he stepped out of the gate.

A man wearing heavy, bulky black and red armor, red eyes, and hair as white as snow stepped out of the gate. A calm look adorned his face, but in his eyes was nothing but complete malice. Hatred radiated off of him. The man was about 100 ft. from the guild members, but they felt his killer intent from where they were standing. They all tensed up even more than they were before. Natsu however, didn't back down.

"Oi, ya white haired bastard, who are you!?" Natsu asked suspiciously. The white haired man didn't seem to notice him. Or, if he did, he ignored him. Natsu didn't take either gesture kindly.

"Hey! Don't ignore me!" Natsu shouted. The man looked at him finally. An arrogant smirk appeared on his face.

"Humans, I bring glorious news to you! We, Fairy Tail, have come from the future to bring about a shining new age!" the stranger announced. The tone in his voice was hard to read, as no one could get a clear read on the guy. Erza was the first to speak up.

"And what is this 'shining new age'?" Erza asked cautiously. The man smiled, revealing fanged teeth.

"I've come to bring about the destruction of the human race, and to bring the monsters and demons of the world to their rightful place. As rulers of this world!" he exclaimed. As he finished this bold statement, a horde of monsters and demons rushed out of the gate, an intent to kill clear in their eyes.

The true Fairy Tail looked on in awe and fear. They were still exhausted from the previous battle, and most of them could barely stand. But they wouldn't back down. Not after everything they've been through.

The members of Fiore's most powerful and famous guild charged the monstrous army, knowing full well that this might be their last battle.


Hours seemed to pass. While the members of the true Fairy Tail put up a great fight, one by one, they were defeated all but one. The Salamander was still standing, albeit barely. Blood seeped from multiple cuts and gashes littered across his body. Wherever he wasn't bleeding. he was bruised. He was also pretty sure he had a couple of broken bones, probably his ribs and maybe his left arm. But he wouldn't stop. The fire, although dimmer, was still blazing in his hands.

"For a human, I must admit, your power is much greater than I originally expected. but it looks as though you're on your last leg. I commend your bravery and power, but your stand ends here. Die with the rest of your race!" the white haired man yelled. He shot a blast of crimson-black energy that sent him flying towards the Eclipse Gate.

'Is this really the end? Is this all I've got? There has to be something more than this...' Natsu thought to himself. He was struggling to stay awake at this point. He heard the monsters and demons laughing all around him, mocking him.

"Guys...I'm sorry. I...I can't win." Natsu said quietly to himself. Tears began to stream down his face. He witnessed the death of his friends, his family, and he was powerless to stop it. Erza was stabbed with her own swords, through her heart. Lucy had her keys shoved through multiple parts of her body, in very...ironic locations. Gray had his hands chopped off before being stabbed in multiple parts of his body, being left to bleed out. Juvia was strangled to death, Laxus and the Thunder God tribe were forced to watch either die, each being decapitated, Laxus being the last to be killed.

Natsu didn't even have the strength to move at this point. His body was too battered and broken. He was about to just give up when he heard a feminine voice call out to him.

"Stay strong young Dragon Slayer, I am here to help you." the feminine voice said to him. suddenly, there was a bright flash of light. Natsu closed his eyes, and in an attempt to protect himself, covered his head with his arms. When he felt nothing happen, he opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a bright, white light.

"Where am I? Am I dead…?" Natsu asked himself out loud. He looked around, but all he saw was white.

"Natsu…" a voice said. Natsu's ears perked up. He knew that voice from somewhere.

"Master Mavis, is that you?" Natsu asked. Suddenly, a small woman appeared in front of him. She had long blonde hair that ran down to her feet and bright green eyes. She wore a long pink dress with a light blue jacket. In her hair were wing-like ornaments above her ears. The ghost of the first master of Fairy Tail smiled warmly at Natsu.

"Natsu, I'm so proud of you. You fought so hard until the very end. Not only for yourself, but for your friends and those you consider family. Truly, you represent everything Fairy Tail stands for." Mavis said kindly. Natsu's head lowered, his bangs covering his eyes.

"But Master, they're all...everyone is…" Natsu couldn't finish. The harsh reality that his friends were gone, the family he grew up with, were all dead still hadn't fully registered in his mind.

"I know Natsu. Words can never express how sorry I am for you. But, what if I told you that you could change everything? You could fix this problem before it even becomes a problem! You could beat these Fairy Tail posers and set things right." Mavis said. Natsu's head shot up, hope evident in his eyes.

"Tell me how." was all the Dragon Slayer said. Mavis smiled at his determination.

"Well, those posers came out from the Eclipse Gate, right? And the Eclipse Gate is a two way portal, right? So all you've gotta do is go through the portal and beat these guys at the source!" Mavis exclaimed excitedly. Natsu's eyes practically sparkled with hope, but soon died down. This didn't go unnoticed by the First Master.

"What's wrong Natsu? I just gave you the way to save your friends and beat these guys." Mavis said. Natsu just sighed in defeat.

"But...everyone is already dead. And these guys are way too strong. I can't beat them." Natsu said dejectedly. Mavis shook her head, but the smile never left her face.

"Don't worry about that. From what I can tell, these guys must be disliked from where they are from. So that means that you shouldn't have any problems gathering allies in order to beat them. As for the gate, I've done a lot of research and snooping around for it. It turns out that the more magic you add to it, the further back or forward you go" Mavis said, clearly proud of her find. Natsu's head shot back up.

"So wait, If I absorb some of the magic from the Eclipse Gate, then I'll travel to a point before these guys came here?" Natsu said in slight confusion. Mavis nodded her head excitedly in the affirmative.

"Alright then! I'll do it! I can use all that extra time to train too!" Natsu said, smiling.

"Exactly! And just remember Natsu, we all believe in you. Your friends may no longer be here, but I can still sense them. Their hearts and hopes go out to you. They all believe in you, as do I." Mavis said, trying to reassure Natsu, trying to give him the confidence he needs. Natsu just nodded, not trusting himself to speak, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. Mavis noticed this, and walked over to him, and did something that surprised Natsu.

She hugged him.

"Master...how are you able to…?" Natsu stammered. Mavis Vermillion is a ghost. There's no way she should be able to touch him, let alone hug him. Mavis just giggled in response.

"We're in a version of my 'Fairy Sphere'. Here, my body is made into flesh and bone." Mavis clarified. Natsu shook his head in understanding, choosing not to press the topic and confuse himself even more. So, Natsu just hugged her back. In response, Mavis felt her face heat up. It had been so long since she had felt warmth like this. she almost didn't want to let go. However, she knew Natsu had a job to do. So, regretfully, she let go and cleared her throat. Natsu just smiled at her. But his face turned serious very quickly afterwards.

"So how am I going to absorb the magic from the Eclipse Gate?" Natsu asked.

"The same way you eat fire. I analyzed the magic in the Eclipse Gate. There's a 56% chance that there is fire magic in the gate right now. Also, because of your new affinity for lightning magic, you may be able to eat said type of magic as well. According to my calculations, there is a 72% chance that there will be lightning magic in the Eclipse Gate." Mavis explained. Natsu nodded.

"So my best bet is to try eating lightning magic." Natsu stated, rather than asked. Mavis nodded.

"Well yes, but we don't know if you'll be able to eat lightning magic yet. I recommend eating the fire magic first, and if theres not any, or if theres not enough, then try lightning." Mavis explained. Natsu nodded again, but a worried expression soon crossed his face. Mavis noticed this.

"What's wrong Natsu?" The Fairy Tactician asked.

"How am I going to absorb magic from the gate with all those guys on my back?" Natsu asked worriedly. Mavis smiled and patted Natsu on the back. Natsu looked at the corporeal ghost, a confused look clear on his face.

"Don't you worry about those posers. I'll take care of them!" Mavis said with a reassuring smile. Natsu just smirked at the First's enthusiasm.

"So, are you ready?" Mavis asked. Natsu smirked his toothy grin in a vicious manner.

"Lets go avenge our fallen guild mates." Natsu said,determination clear in his voice. Mavis just smiled and nodded in response.
