The One Who Closes the Portal.While celebrating their victory over Saber Tooth, Fairy Tail grows concerned for Natsu's team. In Mercurius, Arcadios confronts Hisui at Eclipse, where the princess reveals that her advisor from the future is not Lucy, but a man; the advisor reveals himself to be Rogue after using his shadow powers to wipe out the soldiers attacking Natsu's group. After telling the group that he comes from a timeline where Lucy closes Eclipse before it can be used against the dragon horde, Rogue fires a magic blade to kill her. However, her future self jumps in the way to intercept the blade, which kills her instead. Grief-stricken by her sacrifice, Natsu engages Rogue in battle.
