Sunlight [Sting Eucliffe]

Chapter 35 ☆彡

        "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Natsu screamed, attacking the guards of the palace. The battle was still happening in the King's home, everyone else too captivated by the Grand Magic Games to notice what was happening.

        "Gravity Zone." Uosuke, one of the Garou Knights giggled. He acted like this was a mere game, which to him it was, but to Natsu it wasn't. Uosuke's magic caused the fire to go another direction. "It won't work, no matter how many time you try-tai~"

        The battles continue...
-
        Outside of the palace, the princess of Fiore was making the preparations for the Eclipse . Arcadios had arrived at the scene, and the gate to be open was going to happen soon. "The person from the future was telling the truth." Hisui smiled, "From this moment forward, the eclipse project will be moved to Eclipse 2."

        "Are you abandoning the first plan to eliminate Lord Zeref?" Arcadios asked the princess, and she shook her head. "No. But first we need to remove the threat that is right in front of us." She stated, and Arcadios took a deep breath, and unsheathed his sword. Hisui's eyes widened as Arcadios gave her his sword, and pointed it to his neck.

        "It is impermissible for a knight to doubt the words of his master. When your words are proven true, I will lay down my life." Arcadios said, without hesitating. Hisui's eyes went wide, and she gasped slightly in shock. "By doubting my master for a mere second, I have brought great shame... And I am prepared to die."

        "Bastard! Have you gone mad?!" Darton yelled. Arcadios glared at the older man, and Darton quieted down. "Hime, please tell me the truth."

        "Arcadios-sama, what is the meaning of this?" Hisui managed to speak. Both hands that were holding the sword was shaking with fear. "I met the person from the future. But they had no knowledge of Eclipse 2." Arcadios spoke, referring to him meeting the Future Lucy. "The time traveler knew what would happen, but cried because there was no solution for it!"

        "No, my contact told me exactly what to do to deal with it." Hisui muttered, "Then that person from the future... They lied?" Acardios asked, not believing his words. "I can't imagine... how she could profit from lying to her comrades!"

        "Huh?" Hisui gasped, "She? The person I spoke to, and who advised me, was a man..."
-
        "The person I saw on the the evening of the 3rd wasn't Lucy!" Jellal concluded, "There must be another person from the future! Perhaps... Two?" Melody and Ultear looked at the blue haired man in confusion. "Jellal, what could this mean?" Melody mumbled. "Matte, I sense someone..." Ultear muttered, looking at the direction of the presence she sensed.

        "Erza?" Ultear spoke, and Jellal snapped his head to the running woman. "Jellal!" Erza screamed at the top of her lungs. Jellal quickly jumped down, and met with the running girl. Behind her was Nikko. "Erza? Nikko? What's wrong?" Jellal asked the two. "Jellal, we have to let you know something..."

        "What is it?" Ultear asked, coming down with Melody beside her. "The person that you think you might've seen... She was a woman... It might've been the Future Nikko! That's why Nikko's appearance suddenly changed! Her original future's were... I don't know how to explain it but we had just seen the Future Nikko!" Erza let out.

        "Erza, what are you talking about? The person I saw was the Future Lucy!" Jellal yelled, "What's going on?!" Nikko cried, "Jellal, the Future Nikko told us something. That nothing can help with the upcoming war. We are all bound to die today, and nothing can stop the future." Erza stated.

        "The Future Lucy had also told me that there was also no solution! But, the one using Zeref's magic, was that the Future Nikko?" Jellal wondered, "No, it can't be. I didn't sense any of Zeref's magic on her." Erza muttered, "Something else is going on behind our backs then." Ultear spoke up.

-

        "Two people came from the future. One is Lucy. She came back to warn her friends of the danger in the future!" Arcadios yelled, "One more person came back to warn the princess of danger." Darton stated from the side. "But the two of them have the same purpose, which is to save the future." Hisui closed her eyes.

        "I wouldn't be surprised if there was a third of fourth person. And you're a knight. Point your blade at it's rightful direction." Hisui handed Arcadios back his sword. "I'm going to open the portal. To save this country, I shall draw my blade!"

-

        Jellal, Melody, Ultear, Erza, and Nikko ran back to her hotel room. "Look the moon!" Nikko gasped, scared for her life. "I don't know what the other person from the future is after... Hurry, we have no time!" Jellal yelled, and the group sped up their pace. "Hey, I don't think it's a good idea if Nikko-san shouldn't be seen. After all, this is all giving me a bad feeling." Melody spoke.

        "Actually there is a part we didn't tell you..." Nikko suddenly spoke up. "What is it?!" Jellal yelled from frustration, "The future me, mention about Rogue. The Rogue in the future was the ruler of all dragons after this war with the dragons. She told us that there was no solution to fix this."

        "That's it! The person that Jellal sensed with Zeref's magic. Is it perhaps the Future Rogue is also here?!" Melody exclaimed, they all ran into the hotel building, and quickly went to Nikko and Sting's room. "The other person is the Future Rogue!" Erza yelled, "What? Erza, what are you talking about?" Cana asked drunk.

        Nikko was watching the scene as Erza exclaimed. She felt like she was there, but at the same time she wasn't. It was a weird feeling, and she hated it. "Oi, Nikko-chan. What's wrong?" Gray asked the girl. "Nothing." Nikko managed to speak. It was even hard to do that. It felt like someone was taking control of her.

        Everything went black.
