Chapter 1

Lucy's P.O.V.

Pain. Horror. Fear. My entire body was sore. Everything was aching. My vision was blurry. My ears were ringing so loud, the aftermath of such a powerful blast that had just hit. I could hardly move from the sheer amount of soreness that filled my body. Future Rogue had sent such a powerful blast, completely blowing Crocus to smithereens. I tried to get up, but failed miserably.

I tried to look around for the sight of our enemies but I saw none. None of the dragons were present. Future Rogue was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't find anyone from the other guilds. Where were they? Where was Fairy Tail? I pushed myself to hear the sounds of people, whether they were fighting or screaming. But I was disappointed, as I only heard silence, a painful silence.

Am I dead? I must be for this to be happening. My entire vision was so bright and blurry I could hardly see anything. I felt like I was beat over and over again. Every inch of my body would release random pangs of pain. It hurts. Everything hurts.

I tried to stand up again, using every ounce of energy I had left, to search around for someone. Someone had to be here. Natsu. Erza. Gajeel. Cana. Wendy. Levy. Gray. Juvia. Laxus. Master Makarov. Fairy Tail would not be destroyed. There is no way something like that would ever happen.

I couldn't get up. No matter how hard I tried. Instead of trying to move around, I laid down, in a fetal position. I'm scared. I felt like all hope was gone. Deep down, something in me felt like no one was left living, not even Natsu.

I shouldn't think such things. Fairy Tail would always stay standing.

My entire body would be trembling out of fear if it could move. I felt my eyes fluttering open. I could hardly keep them open. If everyone had died, then take me away with them. I am nothing without the guild. I shut my eyes closed, scared of what I might see.

I had to be strong right now. I had to have the strength to find them. I opened my eyes wide. I searched for any remaining energy left in my body to stand up. I had to. I needed to stand up to find them. I need to find my family. Fairy Tail never gives up, and so I wouldn't either. They are definitely around.

I got up, barely staying there. My eyes were finally taking in my surroundings. The sky was filled with smoke and in the distance, the ground was burning. That must be Natsu's doing, right? I looked down on the ground, noticing that it was painted red with blood. I felt my stomach turn at the disturbing site.

Looking around, I saw many corpses, blood completely leaking out of their bodies. I'm so, incredibly scared. Forcing myself to be brave, I used the energy I found to walk around, and find my guild.

Looking down, I saw a face I recognized. Yukino. Why isn't she moving? I took a step towards her body, only to hear a splashing sound. I looked down to notice my feet in a pool of blood. The blood came from Yukino. Shock filled me as I stared at her body. I felt my stomach twist at the sight. Whatever was left in there rose up to my throat. I felt nauseated.

I looked down at her hands. Between her hands were her keys. She placed them onto her chest, her eyes closed. Her keys began to light up, and escaped the grip of her hands. They were hovering above me, almost as if they wanted me to grab them. I won't though. That's stealing. They're Yukino's keys and she's ok.

Instantly, a bright flash of light appeared and once it disappeared, Loke came in my vision. By now the bruises on my body were purpling. His eyes widened up when he saw me. He instantly moved towards me, his eyes full of concern.

"Princess, I don't know how you'll take this but," Loke sighed deeply, staring at me, "Yukino is dead. Her spirits want you to take them in."

"N-no. She's ok," I stammered. She had to be. Yukino is such a powerful girl. How can she not be ok? She must be ok. I know she's alive.

Another bright flash of light appeared and out came a female with a curvaceous body. She was wearing a bikini top and a green skirt with a slit along it. She opened her mouth to speak, "I am Libra, and I am disappointed to inform you that our master, Yukino, is indeed dead," her eyes welled up with tears.

"Please, take us in Lucy," Libra continued, holding out 7 other keys. I recognized Pisces and Ophiuchus. The other keys were silver and had the constellation patters on Leo Minor, Dorado the swordfish, Musca the fly, Pavo the peacock, and Volans the flying fish. I stared at the keys feeling completely nervous.

I felt the tears stream down her face. I looked up at Libra, who looked all too depressed at what had happened. I couldn't bear to see the spirit in such a condition. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open my mouth so instead I nodded. I took the keys from her hands and would make contracts when I had the magic.

Libra disappeared. I turned to Loke, who was still standing next to me. "I can carry you, Princess," he told me comfortingly.

I shook her head no, hoping that, that would cause the lion spirit to disappear back into the spirit world. I made an audible gulp before opening her mouth to speak. "Please, go back to the spirit world," I managed to say. There are some things that must be done alone.

Loke stared at me with worried eyes before nodding and going back. I felt my knees shake as I was struggling to stay up. I forced myself to look around. I needed to find my friends. I walked around the place that was the arena for the grand magic games hoping that I could find a friendly face.

All I saw were corpses. My heart was pounding out of fear and I felt sweat glide down my face. Natsu. He must be fine. He always is. I looked around and noticed a flash of red. Erza. Her hair. It must be her.

I limped my way to her, hoping she would be ok. She was laying down, eyes wide open but not moving. Strange. I bent down and decided to gently move Erza, hoping she would come back to reality.

"Erza," my barely audible voice said as I gently touch her shoulder.

"Erza," I said again, moving her roughly.

"Erza, come on," I'm shaking the redhead, hoping she would wake up.

"Erza!" I screamed, unable to hold in my pessimistic thoughts.

Then it hit me. What if Erza died?

I placed my head on her chest, looking for a heartbeat. Nothing. Not a single sound came from her.

"Erza, no...please," I said, feeling the tears hot in my eyes.

My heart was thundering in my chest, pounding so hard that it might jump out. My entire body was trembling at the reality that was in front of me.

"Erza!" I screamed as loud as I could. The tears raced down my cheeks, and landed on her face. She's gone. Fairy Tail's strongest female mage was dead. It was so hard to believe yet it happened.

I held her tightly in my arms, crying on her cold shoulders. I wished for the impossible hope of Erza waking up.

"Erza, Erza, Erza…" I kept repeating, over and over again as I rocked our bodies crying. How could anyone even consider doing this to someone as caring as Erza? It should've been me. At least Erza's strong enough to save humanity. My sister. What will I do?

"Come back ," I said between sobs. I'm quivering. Fear rushed through my veins, filling my entirety.

"Erza, please," I pleaded. I kept trembling at the fear I felt. If this happened to Erza, who would be next.

I felt a tap on my shoulder from behind. "Who is it?" I said, refusing to turn around and let go of Erza. I'm crying my eyes out.

"Lucy," I heard a soft voice say. "It's me, Hibiki," he said. I refused to turn around. I had to stay with Erza. It was the last time I would ever see her again.

"She's gone," he told me with pain in his voice, "Like everyone else, she's gone."

Something about the way he spoke made me turn around. I glared at him with cold eyes, refusing to believe what he just said. "Fairy Tail would never be knocked down," I told him harshly.

There wasn't a glint of happiness in his eyes. Only pain. Hibiki. "Lucy," he told me softly, sitting beside me, moving a strand of hair away from my eyes, "She's dead. I'm not sure who else is with her but, she's gone."

It broke my heart to hear the words. I knew it was true but hearing it broke my heart. The fact that the great Titania was dead struck me straight through my chest. My sister was gone. I felt the hot tears continue to rain down my cheeks.

Hibiki and I walked silently. Neither of us had much to say. What could we say? We lost. The humans lost. Rogue and his seven dragons beat us. The strongest mages in all of Foire gathered this week, and we couldn't perform our duty to protect everyone. As a result, everyone died. They were gone.

"Sensei," Hibiki's voice shook. I looked up to see Ichiya. Hibiki looked defeated at the sight. His mentor was gone.

"Come on, smell my perfume," Hibiki told Ichiya in a serious voice, in attempts to wake him up. He looked the same as Erza, and Hibiki realized it.

He turned his face from his sensei, trying to push away all his anger. He shed not a tear but his eyes told the tales of his depression. He was sad, hurt. He felt the same fear I feel. He has the same look in his eyes that I do. He feels it too.

"Let's keep going," he said, trying to be strong. His eyes told a different story. Hibiki isn't ok. He isn't.

I don't know what else there was to see. What else can there be? What could be worse than seeing Erza's dead…

My eyes widened in shock. No. No. No. Something in my body ran. I ran towards him, tears spilling down my face. I don't know how, but I ran. He can't be. No. This can't be happening. Anyone but Gray. How could this be happening! Gray. I looked beside him to see Juvia. Lyon. I collapsed in defeat. This cannot be happening.

Gray too. Juvia. Lyon. All of them? How could this be happening? This makes no sense. A weird sound came out from my mouth, followed by a scream, "Gray!"

My voice echoed the entire place. Gray Fullbuster. He cannot be dead! I will never believe it. I refuse to. I looked at the water mage beside him.

Juvia. She always called me love rival and I could never understand why. I looked down at her beautiful features. She's so strong, being able to put up a fight against Aquarius. How could she be…No! Juvia! I refuse to believe she's dead.

Juvia. Erza. Gray. Ichiya. Lyon. Who else did they murder? Who else had their lives lost at the hands of this brutal creature known as Rogue? I let the tears stream down my face. They never stopped. I felt a lump form in my throat as I noticed I had difficulty breathing.

All was not lost though. Makarov and Natsu would be ok. They are strong enough to help us. They won't be dead. They can't be. I turned around to see Hibiki stare at the bodies in disbelief. Who could believe it?

I tried to get back up but I had lost control of my feet. My limbs convulsed whenever I tried to stand. I looked around to see buildings completely crashed down to the ground, while flames could be seen from the inside. I began to cough frantically from all the smoke in the air. It was finally getting to my head. My eyes rolled behind my head and I felt my world spinning. If they were all gone, I might as well be, too. Where would I be without my guild?

"Lucy," Hibiki called out to me.

"Come on, Lucy. Be strong. There still may be a way to fix this," Hibiki informed me. No. There was no way. My entire body was shaking. My thoughts were jumbled up. My heart was pounding. My head was spinning. I felt myself take deep breaths, trying to get air in my.

"There must be others who survived the attack," Hibiki reassured me. Those words gave me some strength to stand.

He's right. Natsu is ok. He always is. He must be fine. He's Natsu after all. He's indestructible. I could not talk. I couldn't respond to Hibiki's words. All I could feel was the pain. The agonizing pain that began to fill me. It took the place of Erza and Gray in my heart. The brother and sister I never had were now gone. How will I survive without them?

I made my way through the arena, searching for a lively face. Someone who was able to breathe the air that Hibiki and I could breathe. There must be someone.

"Ren…Eve…" Hibiki paused, looking down at the corpses. The members of the Trimen were gone. Hibiki lost his team. His sensei. How many people did these bastards decided to kill. We're alone. Just us. The only hope I have is to find Natsu breathing. He has to be.

Tears threatened to fall after seeing Hibiki in such a state. He buried his head between his hands, trying to cover the agony he was feeling. I understood though. I was feeling the exact same thing. Tears fell down my cheeks. I couldn't control them, no matter how long I tried. Seeing all my friends gone. Seeing Hibiki like this. It was too much to handle.

We continued to walk around. Long blue hair. Small body. No doubt in my mind that, that was Wendy. Beside her was a muscular man with spiky blond hair. Laxus. I stared at them, observing their bodies. They were painted red and purple from head to toe. Their bodies were covered in bruises in blood.

"Wendy, Laxus," my hopeful voice said.

"Come on guys," I cried, "Not you too." Wendy was too damn young to die. She was fucking 12. She hardly went through life.

Then there was Laxus, one of the strongest people I have ever met. How could someone with his pure strength be annihilated.

Behind Laxus was a tiny elderly man. Makarov too? How was this possible? He was one of the strongest mages in the world. He was so strong that he could do Fairy Law! How is this possible.

"My fucking family!" I screamed out loud, taking Hibiki by surprise. "How dare you hurt my fucking family?" I yelled as loud as I could.

I felt jolts of pain strike my heart over and over. I began to tremble in fear and I felt my throat become as dry as a desert. I don't know what to do. I felt warm arms wrap around me, holding me comfortingly. Hibiki. He's still alive. I'm not alone.

"Come on Lucy, be strong," his voice cracked. I looked up at him and noticed his eyes. Red and puffy. How didn't I notice that he had been crying? He felt exactly what I was feeling so it was only natural for him to feel the pain. Both of us did. We were the last ones left of our loved ones.

But I still had Natsu. I felt Hibiki help me up. I never realized that I my legs failed me once again. The more of my family I saw like this, the more revolted I was by the world. "We have to find Natsu," I managed to say between tears. I tried to keep my tears silent, I really did but occasionally I would let out a whimper.

We walked around, staring at our surroundings. Blood was everywhere. It had different shapes and patterns. Blood was on the walls, in the audience stands. It was on the battle field. Whatever was left of the arena was covered in blood. There were also different body parts. Arms hung from the stands. Legs would lay on the ground with blood oozing out. Everything was completely destroyed.

And there I saw it. Pink. I know that pink anywhere. It was the pink of Natsu's hair. Natsu! He's ok. I know he is. Instantly my feet took a flight towards him. Hope filled me. Natsu! Natsu! Natsu!

I was right beside him now. He was collapsed on the ground, no doubt tired after a long battle. "Natsu," I said quietly, slightly smiling at his face. He's here. I wrapped my arms around him, lifting him up and pressing his body onto mine.

"Natsu, wake up," I told him as my hands ran down his back. I felt a wet spot. He's probably just sweating from the intensity of the battle. I pulled him into me harder and harder, and I felt my hands go in. I felt a weird hard spot. What's going on? Why does it feel like my hands went inside his body?

I slowly pulled away, and observed him. His arm was completely ripped off. His body was not moving. I looked down at my hands, both a dark shade of red.

"Natsu," I said quietly, hoping it wasn't so. I put my head over his chest, looking for a heartbeat.

"Natsu," I said a little louder. I couldn't hear anything. I am so scared. He has to be ok. He's my best friend.

"Natsu!" I screamed, hoping to get his attention. At this point I knew he was gone.

"Natsu!" I yelled again, accepting the reality. I let out a shriek of pain. Natsu. Where are you? Natsu. Wake up. Come back to me. Natsu. Don't leave me.

Natsu. I was trembling. Screaming. Crying. I am so scared. Natsu. My vision began to blur. Natsu. My world began to spin. A huge lump formed in my throat. I felt my knees weaken. I was on the ground. Natsu. My breathing quickened. I am now hyperventilating. My eyes could barely stay open. Everything was hazy. My world disappeared. Natsu.

Hibiki P.O.V.

I carried her towards somewhere safe. Somewhere where we could grieve in peace. Somewhere quiet. I used my archive magic to look for a nearby cave. The closest thing I found was underground. A dragon's graveyard.

Everyone was gone. All that was left was us two. Lucy and I. It was impossible to fathom. The strongest of wizards didn't survive. Ren. Ichiya. Eve. Sherry. Jenny. None of them were alive. From my knowledge, it was just us two.

But that doesn't make sense. If the Rogue enemy is from the future and is still alive, then the Rogue of the present must also be alive. So where is he?

No. That isn't the concern right now. Right now, I need to take her somewhere she can be safe. Neither of us are in the condition to take care of anyone. The celestial spirit mage had passed out at the sight of Natsu's dead body. Who could blame her?

They were like the bark on a tree. Inseparable. I'm not sure how she will take go on but for now, we need to stay out of sight. If the enemy came back we would surely be dead.

The terror had filled me too but I had to be strong. Not only for her, but for myself. If I gave any signs of weakness, if it filled me, I would be in the same condition as her. I had to control my emotions for both our sakes.

But the reality is the agonizing truth. Everyone has died. It hurts. My chest hurts. My friends and family were all dead. It pained me to accept it, but it's the reality. They died a brutal, painful death. Their bodies had the blood completely soaked out of them. Ren's body was torn limb from limb. Eve had broken bones everywhere. Then there was Ichiya. He taught me everything there was to know. He taught me to believe, to persevere, to try my best, to seduce women. Ichiya was, is, and always will be, my sensei. But now he's gone.

I could let the darkness fill me, I could let all the depression take over, but I won't. I must be strong. As much as I'm in pain, I must be strong. For the sake of the future, I must keep my strength.

I walked quietly towards the graveyard. Once I reached the cave, silence ran through the area. It was almost intimidating.

The sight here was quite a horror, large bones in the shapes of different dragons filled it up. There were hundreds, no thousands of dragon skeletons. This sight was nothing compared to outside, where it reeked human flesh.

Then it was gone. The silence disappeared. Then, what was believed to be a dark cave, was filled with light, attacking all the walls. Only one person was capable of using this magic: Sting Eucliffe.

It was destroying everything. I continued to proceed onwards. If there was another human that was here, it was enough for me to go look. It was more than enough for me to feel like there was still some hope.

And once I neared them, I saw three figures. Sting. Rogue. And a man with maroon hair, and a scar across his face. His tanned skin made those beside him look so much paler. From what I remember he was an enemy from Oracion Seis. Cobra. The poison dragon slayer.

They all looked hurt. They all looked scared. But Sting looked the worst. Then, my eyes noticed Rogue clenching onto something. A tiny little cat in a frog costume. His partner no doubt. Frosch the exceed.

Lucy's eyes shot open and she let out another shriek. "Natsu!" she yelled as loud as she could, not realizing where she was.

"Where is Natsu!?" She yelled louder, causing the three dragon slayers to look up at her.

"Where the fuck is Natsu?!" She yelled again, in hopes that someone would answer her.

She then glared at Rogue, her eyes narrowing at him. "You!" She yelled angrily, "This is all your fault." But it wasn't. This isn't the same Rogue. The Rogue that did this was from the future. They're not the same. We can change the future.

Then she paused, and looked up into the distance. She opened her mouth, anger consuming her. "It's all his fault! How dare you tell me to let it go? Natsu is dead!" she yelled. Just who was she talking to?

Everyone stared at her with confused, hurt eyes.

"No! I can't be the only Fairy Tail mage left. My family," she began to cry again. I put her down gently, realizing she needed to be planted on the ground.

"Mavis, it can't be true," she said gently. Mavis? The first ever guild master of Fairy Tail? Could it be?

Suddenly, I felt a slight burning on my shoulder. When I looked at it, I noticed my guild insignia disappeared from. It disappeared from Sting and Rogue's arms. They were then all replaced with what appeared to be Fairy Tail's sign. Glancing at Cobra, I noticed a Fairy Tail insignia appear on his right shoulder.

I looked back to where Lucy was looking to see a female, in her teens. Her long blond hair flowed beside her white dress.

She opened her mouth as her gentle voice filled the graveyard, "My apologies. Only those from Fairy Tail are able to see me, so I changed everyone's insignia to a Fairy Tail one. The reason you are all here is because my strategies evaluated that you six are vital roles for saving the past, present, and future. Sting, Rogue, Frosch, Lucy, Cobra, and Hibiki, are essential for my plan, so please co-operate."

I killed them off *tears up* Laxus, Gray, Natsu, Erza, Happy *crys big girl tears* This story will be hard to write for me! Bare with it and thanks for the read.

I am currently rewriting my schedule to accommodate for the two new stories I have posted this weekend. I just couldn't resist in posting them.
