An hour Later Erza managed to return back to the temporary camp they refugees had created earning cheers from them...
When they saw someone walking with her they knew that this was the person who went toe to toe with the dragons for so long...
Erza : Lian... Call Joe for me...
Lian : I already sent someone to do so...
Erza : Good... I'll be in my tent with him sent Joe inside...
Lian : I will....
Erza : Let's go Ryouji...
Ryouji : Sure...
Both of the retreated in her tent where Ryouji sat down and Erza re-equipped a few light clothes to be more on the homecoming feeling...
Ryouji : You woke up 7 years later then trained and the Tournament happened right??
Erza : Ermm... That's right...
Erza : Because Mavis used a defensive Magic that used up all of our powers to protect us as it wasn't enough to block Acnologia, she and Zera used their life forces...
Erza : Due to that when we woke up we had to go to the Guild and seal them inside the lacrima again... Only this time it's the both of them instead of Mavis...
Ryouji : What!!!!
Erza : As i told you when we woke up everything went down the cliffs...
Erza : We barely held the position of the first and that was only because you had trained the others and with the help of Violetta...
Erza : We participated in the Tournament meant for every Guild in the Kingdom...
Erza : A total of 8 Guilds managed to pass...
Erza : Fairy Tail, Raven Tail, Saber Tooth, The Old Dragon, Quatro, Mermaid Heel, Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus...
Erza : From the very beginning, we had the upper hand as core members and the kids... Well, not kids anymore were quickly placed 1 and 2nd in the ranks...
Erza : Joe and the rest only wanted revenge against Raven Tail...
Erza : After everything was settled... Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy and Lucy started feeling weird...
Ryouji : Weird??
Erza : Yes at that point, they said something familiar is close by...
Erza : It turns out all of them meant a gate where only celestial mages could open it...
Ryouji : Let me guess it had something to do with time and when Lucy was close by her keys reacted and the gate opened??
Erza : Yes, the ones who came out were the Dragons... 10.000 to be exact...
Ryouji fell into deep thinking, this doesn't make sense... In which timeline he is right now?? Where was future Lucy and future Rogue??
After he though a bit he arrived on a conclusion that seemed impossible but needed more info about it...
Ryouji : Then what happened??
Erza : Gray, Ur sacrificed their lives giving their power to Lyon who activated Iced Shell and sealed forever the gate...
Erza : And that was the beginning of our destruction...
Erza : All the Dragons as if hating to their cores the humans started one side massacre...
Erza : Many died, many survived and the world was in shambles...
Erza : At that moment however Acnologia appeared again giving a nightmare in our despair...
Ryouji : Erza why are you eating your words?? What HAPPENED!!!
??? : Should i answered that to you, Dad??
Ryouji turned over and saw a handsome guy looking at him as he looked at his dad with cold and yet moist eyes...
The resemblance between him and Irene was undeniable... He saw Joe sitting down before he tried to calm himself as he spoke in the place of Erza who had tears in her eyes just remembering everything...
Joe : When he appeared he started killing the dragons and feasting on their hearts becoming more stronger and stronger...
Joe : At that point, Elein screamed in our minds that Acnologia was on the verge of going in something plane....
Joe : Therefore she and all mothers... 400 something including the founders appeared and smiled at as telling us you one day will return...
Joe : Used a giant Unison raid which caused the space to shrink and sealed Acnologia inside at the costs of their lives with a smile on their faces...
