It was extraordinary.

No one would have known that the Eclipse Gate would be open without the 12 Gates.

But, who opened it? Was it from the present...or from the future?

"Hey, be careful out there." A female voice said.

"Yeah, I will. If I don't come back, Levy. Please, try to survive this disastrous war. I love you." Another female voice says, as she was about to go in through the portal.

"Y-Yeah. Okay. I love you, too."

She smiles for the last time to her and goes in through the Eclipse Gate.

Lucy

As I walk down the streets the next day, worrying about Natsu, I saw a woman with a black cloak, her face covered with darkness and shadows.

I narrowed my eyes at the woman as I walk past her but she suddenly collapses.

"Ugh..."

"Hey! Are you alright!?"

I quickly went to her aid and touched her side, but I didn't felt no right arm.

"I-I'm fine. Thank you."

She almost sounded like me!

"Uh, yeah. Maybe you should come to my apartment and I can give you something to eat–"

"No, that isn't necessary. I'm alright, thank you for your concern." 

Her hood suddenly falls down and I gasped, her blonde locks falling down with the air.

She looks at me and we both stare at each other in shock.

"You're...me." We both said in sync.

She doesn't look too surprised and I get away from her, a bit terrified.

"W-Who are you!? Why do you look like me!?"

"Relax. I know that this will be difficult to believe but..." She suddenly starts to tear up. "I'm you from the future."

"Ehh!? W-What do you mean you're me from the future!? How'd you come here!?"

"Shh! We need to go to your apartment and talk calmly. Would you do me a favor and cooperate with me?"

I didn't say anything but I nod, sighing.

"Fine. But if you're one of those enemies who have those transformation magic, I will–"

"I don't. Now let's go. We cannot waste any time."

I follow her to my apartment but it felt like a second when we got there.

I open the door and she puts on her hood, trying to not get revealed by Aquarius and Romeo who were by the living room.

"Lucy! You finally came! I was starting to worry." Romeo says.

"Hi, uh...I'm gonna have to talk to you guys later on. It's important." I said, and they both nod.

I have to tell them what happened to me. I have to tell them what the hell's been going on!

"Who's that?" Aquarius asks.
