Joe : Yes, we wanted to help Lucy use her keys in a roundabout way to get her in the past...
Erza : As you may know the Celestial Spirit realm has a different time perception...
Ryouji : What happened did you succeeded??
Joe : We did open a rift through the gates however that caused almost 2000 Dragons charge at us.....
Erza : It was then that i lost my hand and eye along with Natsu's death...
Erza : However Natsu did manage to slaughter over 400 Dragons and buy enough time...
Joe : When Lucy passed through the rift, all her keys shattered to dust...
Ryouji was speechless, is that why from what he had read she had a different type of aura in her magic and also why she never summoned any of the keys??
From what i could remember these 2 came from different timelines yet from my screwing over the verse all these united into one and went back in time to create their own versions of timelines...
In essence, the start may be different but the end goal is the same for them... But then something clicked in his mind...
Who the fuck had placed the letter within Mavis Lacrima... I still remember the message very clearly even now...
"For Those who are reading this please tell the past me... Ryouji Alveiron, that we failed. This world crumbled yet again from Acnologia's powers. Perhaps even reaching Level 500 we might not be able to beat him..."
For the record even if this is some kind of loop i had long passed the intended target of that message and i'm close to 700 now...
Then can it be it wasn't me who placed it there but possibly Lucy?? Then how did Lucy knew about my Level??
No, forget about that, who gave Lucy the letter to place it there??
Suddenly his eyes widened as he realised the missing puzzle of the whole future...
Ryouji : Say you two, did Lucy had a letter with her or some kind of Magic Formula??
Erza : Yes she did... Why??
Ryouji : Who gave it to her??
Joe : We don't know, she just said that she found it laying next to her...
Ryouji : Do you know what happened to Ultear??
Erza : After the Dragons passed through something happened and we suspected it was her doing along with a few mages from your guild, as they are the only one we know related to time Magic...
Ryouji : Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Both of them got startled when they saw him suddenly burst in laughter with tears in his eyes as he had finally solved the mystery...
Ryouji : Now i see, everything connects!!!
Ryouji : 1st... My disappearance to the rift after the Nirvana... I was supposed to go to Edolas but something blocked me...
Ryouji : 2nd... The Dragons coming out of the Gate Zeref had created...
Ryouji : 3rd... Ultear and my Family used a forbidden Magic trying to return back time but only managed to do so for 3-4 minutes claiming their lives but managed to push Ultear at the borders of the stream of time...
Ryouji : 4th... You guys had something akin to future visions and Ur, Gray and Lyon sealed the gate...
Ryouji : 5th... I had seen in my visions Lucy and someone matching Rogue in the tournament...
Ryouji : 6th... Elein warned everyone and probably gave orders to specific people...
Ryouji : 7th... Elein and Violetta along with the rest sealed Acnologia away...
Ryouji : 8th... Rogue passing through the gate going to the past...
Ryouji : 9th... Lucy with a message inscription went to the past as well.....
At this point, the two of them felt something was odd with all these points layed out by Ryouji in his mumbling and continued to listen as more and more felt something inside them...
Ryouji : 10th... Who gave Lucy the message...??
Ryouji : 11th... Irene's disappearance...
Ryouji : Elein gave me her powers so she knows everything about me that explains the content of that...
Ryouji : 12th... How did I get the message when i revived Mavis??
Ryouji : 13th... Who placed it there and who blocked me in the rift for 29 years??
All of them thought the same name!!! Ultear!!!
