Wendy: I just didn't know they would do something that underhanded.

Team A was walking back to the dorms talking about Raven Tail and their elimination.

Keith: Well I'm really not surprised. They're a Dark Guild after all.

Aqua: And can we also talk about how Laxus STILL beat every one of them?

Ryu: Ivan really isn't that strong. Personally I think Wendy could take him alone. But aside from that, good job in your match.

Wendy: Thanks!

Raito: Yeah, how exactly did you figure out the trick yourself?

Wendy: Well, you told me how a while back. It was about a few weeks ago. Or technically 7 years ago.

Raito: Huh, can't believe I forgot about that.

Ryu: Yeah that's about right.

From the corner of his eye Ryu saw the cloaked Wizard once again. He snapped his fingers activating Time Break Magic stopping time. That's when he zoomed into the air seeing an trail of Etherion to follow. That's when he dropped to the ground back with the others. Time resumed as he spoke to them.

Ryu: Hey guys, I'm gonna catch up with you. I wanna check something out.

Aqua: Alright, I guess we'll be waiting.

He jumped off flying after the trail. He kept flying for about 5 minutes before seeing May.

Ryu: May?

May: Ryu? What are you doing here?

Ryu: I was following a trail of Magic Power. What about you?

May: I was doing the same.

Ryu: Wait, you can sense that?

May: Ummm, yeah? You'd have to be an idiot not to sense a power that monstrous. It's coming from over there.

She pointed to the right confusing Ryu.

Ryu: That's weird, I feel mine to the left.

They both looked at each other with a serious look.

Ryu: Ok, so should we split up?

May: It'd be for the best. If any trouble, we can locate each other.

Ryu nodded before they flew off in different directions. After a few minutes of flying he realized that he was being leaf around on a wild goose chase.

Ryu: That's it no games. TIME BREAK!!

He stopped time and used his full speed getting in front of the Wizard. Time resumed as she stopped before she could bump into Ryu.

???: Well that didn't take long.

Ryu: Ok, what do you want? Last time you were at night, but now here in daylight.

???: Well, I guess telling you won't alter anything too much.

Ryu: The hell are you on about?

The mystery woman pointed downwards signaling she wanted to talk at the ground. They flew down landing.

Shojo: 'Ryu I want to try something.'

Ryu: 'What's that?'

Shojo: I don't know if you can hear me, but who are you?

???: Heh, you haven't changed one bit Shojo.

Ryu's eyes slightly widened hearing that.

Ryu: Y-You heard that?

She reached for her hood with Ryu looking closely.

Ryu: 'I can finally know who she is. But what Magic does she use to hear Shojo.'

Logius: Is she a Dragon Slayer or God Slayer?

She pulled the hood down with Ryu being shocked.

Ryu: No way...

Under the hood seemed to be Aqua, but she was missing an eye and she looked to have aged years.

Ryu: ... Aqua? What's-

Before he could finish she hugged him tight. He hugged her back feeling her pain.

Aqua???: Ryu...

Ryu: What the hell happened to you?

She released him with a saddened look.

Aqua???: 8 years...

Ryu: What do you mean?

Aqua???: I came from 8 Years in the Future.

Ryu: 8 years in the what now?!

Aqua???: The future.

Ryu had his eyes widen as he looked her dead in the eye seeing she wasn't lying.

Ryu: Oh my fucking God this this is some Dragon Ball Z bullshit.

Future Aqua: Your definitely the same. Power and all.

Ryu: Why did you come back? What happened? Did Acnologia attack?

Future Aqua: I wish that was the case.

Ryu: Well that definitely isn't good. Aside from dad Acnologia is literally the strongest Dragon to exist and you say you actually say you'd actually prefer HIM? What exactly happened?

Future Aqua: *Sigh* It was around the end of the Games. I don't know how or why, but a swarm of dragons. There were at least 10,000.

Ryu: *Gulp* That's not good.

Future Aqua: And as if the Dragon's weren't bad enough, about 50,000 Demons showed up.

Ryu: Ok, WHAT?!!! The hell do you mean by demons?!!!

Future Aqua: Remember what dad showed us the first day of the games?

Ryu: The portal...

Future Aqua: Even dad wasn't able to defeat 1000 Dragon's that went after him. Though he managed to get a few hundred before kicking the bucket.

Ryu: Ok, so why'd the go after him?

Future Aqua: They were ordered.

Ryu: By who?

Future Aqua looked like she had her fist clenched.

Future Aqua: It was a man that called himself the Devil Dragon.

Ryu: Who?

Future Aqua: He's pure evil. I don't know where he came from, but his power is just unreal. He probably didn't even need the army. He killed everyone. As in Natsu, Wendy, Keith, Mira, everyone. Even you.

Ryu: I got killed?!

Future Aqua: Yeah. You used everything even that crazy form of yours. Nothing worked. In the end you were swallowed whole by a Dragon.

Logius: Oof, the Irony.

Ryu: And Raito, what about him?

Future Aqua: We'll never know. He was gone before the attack even happened.

Ryu: He'd never NOT be at something like that. But what Magic did you use? How where you able to block my attacks before? I kinda flattened you the last time we fought.

She hit him upside the head making him face plant into the ground.

Ryu: Alright I'll admit it, I deserved that one being a jackass.

Future Aqua: *Sigh* I discovered a Magic that could actually help me. My Dragon Slayer Magic might have been powerful, but it had it's limits. That's when I figured out that I could use this Magic.

She held up one of her hands with tainted water surrounding her hand.

Future Aqua: Water Demon Slayer Magic.

Ryu: Demon Slayer? How'd you manage that?

Future Aqua: Let's just say, we were never even HALF human to begin with.

Ryu: What?

Future Aqua: Before he died dad told me the truth. Our mother was a human turned Full Demon.

Ryu: OH COME ON!!

Logius: Ok, that I didn't even know.

Ryu: First half Dragon, now I'm a demon?! Can I just stay one thing?!

Future Aqua: Yeah it wasn't very funny the first time around. Second it was just aggravating.

Ryu: *Sigh* Well in any case I can tell your telling the truth. But what happened to Acnologia then?

Future Aqua: He serves them. He was beat into submission. Too many forces at once so now he serves-

She clutched her right arm in pain.

Ryu: Are you ok?!

Future Aqua: It's just a side affect. Having my Dragon Slayer Magic become Demon Slayer Magic caused this weird thing to appear on me.

She pulled the cloaks sleeve up revealing tattoos that glowed a bright blue and covered half her body.

Shojo: DAMN!!!

Ryu: O_O What is that?!

Future Aqua: This is what 8 years of what I can only guess is a Demon Mark growing on my arm.

Ryu: Serious you sure that's not just a serious messed up rash!

Future Aqua: Trust me, I tried using magic to get rid of it.

Ryu: Ok, but how were you able to travel back in time?

Future Aqua: Well, gramps helped with that.

Ryu: Grandpa Logius?

Logius: Ohhhh I understand now.

Shojo: We don't.

Future Aqua: Well, when you died his spirit still roamed around. That's when a few days ago in my time he appeared and used the last bit of his Magic to jump start the Eclipse Gates Portal. I'll be able to go back once I know everything I have to do is finished.

Ryu: Well shit. I feel like there's no way we can ever catch a break.

Future Aqua: You can say that again. But Ryu, please don't tell anyone about these events yet. Not Raito, and Mira, but ESPECIALLY me! If the me from this time finds out about this too early, I might blink out of existence!

Ryu: Alright, lips are sealed.

She let out a revived sigh hearing that.

Future Aqua: Thank you.

Ryu: Also, when?

Future Aqua: If your talking about when you should say anything, I'll give you the ok when you're saving Lucy.

She slapped her hands over her mouth.

Future Aqua: Oh damnit.

Ryu: SAVING WHO NOW?!!

Future Aqua: Don't pay too much attention to that it needs to happen don't stress over things- BYE!

She flew off leaving Ryu with about a million questions.

Shojo: Well that happened.

Logius: Well, even with my years of wisdom I can't provide any wisdom.

Ryu: GOD DAMNIT!!!!
