Acnologia's Child.

Chapter 44

Luna POV:

As the door continues to slowly open Wendy comes over and grabs onto my arm, she looks up at me and smiles softly.

"This should save our future right?" She asks me.

"Yeah, it should." I say back to her.

"It makes you think about the Lucy who came back from the future for us, huh?" She says wiping some tears from her eyes.

I go to reply to her but then I notice something, Lucy begins to walk towards the gate. Her eyes have glazed over, and it's like she's being controlled by something. 

"Lucy?" I call out to her.

She continues to walk as she speaks. "No...we can't...open the door...we have to shut it right now!" Lucy yells. "Shut the door right now! You can't open the door!" 

"Lucy what's going on!" I yell running to her side.

"Why this all of a sudden?!" Happy yells.

"What is she saying?" Arcadios asks.

The door then opens fully as white light fills the area around us illuminating everything, Lucy continues to plead with everyone that they close the gate. 

"We cannot! This is the only weapon that can defeat the horde of dragons!" Princess Hisui yells. "If we close it now...then we cannot fire the Eclipse Cannon!"

Lucy's eyes turn back to normal as she walks to the princess, her face mere inches away from the princesses.

"There is no Eclipse Cannon! This is a door! A door that connects two points in time!" Lucy yells.

"The Eclipse cannon fires all the accumulated magic energy! That's what it is!!" The princess argues back.

"No it doesn't! This isn't a weapon at all!" Lucy yells, fear and anger laced in her voice.

"Enough! This is the Princess of Fiore you are talking to!" Arcadios yells trying to break the two of them up.

I walk up to him and give him a push so he stumbles back. 

"Listen here, if Lucy has a reason for wanting the gate to be closed then hear her out! Lucy wouldn't say something unless it needed to be said." I say crossing my arms over my chest. 

"Right now, the door...leads 400 years into the past..." Lucy starts to explain.

Suddenly the earth begins to shake, huge shock waves causing each of us to stumble. I catch Lucy before she falls over and then look up, the moon has turned a deep crimson as the eclipse takes place. Making sure she's ok I then look at the gate, and feel my heart stop.

"No way.." Twilight says.

"That can't be..." One of the guards says as we all focus our eyes on the eclipse gate.

Out from the gate walks a huge dark figure, it's huge body somehow managing to fit though the gate. It raises it's head back and roars loudly.

"A dragon...from the door...?!" Princess Hisui yells shocked.

The dragon roars loudly sending all of us flying back from the force, it raises an arm and then brings it crashing down sending a destructive beam through Crocus.

"I never dreamed they'd be this..." Arcadios says.

The guards begin to yell questions as the dragon looks around, roaring loudly as it shows it's dominance. 

"There's another one coming through!" Someone yells.

"What's going on?! They keep coming!" Another cries.
