Flashback~

Jellal turned to the cloaked figure. "I've shown you my identity. I suggest you do the same." He looked down at the figure's feet. So it's a man… He thought. Before he could continue talking, the cloaked man ignored him and walked further into the ally.

"Oi! Show me your face!" Jellal screamed, and ran toward the person and forcefully turned the man's shoulder into his direction. With one swift motion, he yanked his hood off of his head, revealing colorful hair.

"N-No…" The bluenette gasped with wide eyes.

End Flashback~

Natsu and his comrades were hiking through the never-ending pit looking for an exit, when he saw a light.

"Guys! I think there's an exit!" The salamander yelled triumphantly, and pulled Lucy's hand, dragging her towards the brightness, when he tripped onto some rocks, pulling her with him as they tripped continuously down the path.

They tumbled towards the exit way, and landed hard on their bums.

"Natsu! Be careful where you run!" Lucy groaned, and hoisted herself up, dusting her clothes off.

"Does it matter? We got here quicker than the others!" He smirked, and looked at hugely decorated doors in front of them.

"So is this the exit?"

Before Lucy could answer his question, the doors swung open slowly and caused them to take a few steps back. The light that with came within the opening door blinded them, and made them cover their eyes.

"Wha-? What's going on?" Lucy hissed.

Coming from the doors was a cloaked figure, looking at them in amazement. He slowly approached the two, savoring the moment.

Natsu squinted his eyes, "Who the hell are you?"

The figure spoke in an all to familiar voice, "L-Lucy… You're here!" He gasped out, as tears slid down his unmasked features.

"Me?" The stellar mage asked questioningly.

The man hesitantly walked towards her, and extended his hand, revealing bloody bandages. He held her cheek delicately, and choked on a sob. "I'm so sorry…" He whispered.

Lucy froze. Was that just his voice?!

Natsu didn't like this man's actions, and pushed his hands into the cloaked man's shoulders. "I asked you a question. Who the hell are you?" He hissed.

The man looked at him sadly, and took a few steps back, taking off his hood. And under the hood, was bright, pink hair.

It is him! Lucy thought with wide eyes, and stepped backwards in shock.

"No way…" The salamander gasped.

"It's me," He said, trying to lift the heavy atmosphere, and gave them a small smile,

"Natsu Dragneel, from the future."

A:N/What do you think? I was thinking how interesting it would be if Natsu came from the future, instead of Lucy. This is in honor of the last episode, and the next episodes to come. I kept it short incase this story wasn't popular enough to continue.

Yes, I did rush it a little, but this is how it would've been in the anime/manga so bear with me.
