Can't abondon something you never picked up. I was talking from the character's perspective from the start because it IS valid and relevant.

"Ultear can literally turn her crystal balls into a magic carpet... except with proper handholds and stuff. "
 * Erm... what the actual fuck?

"The destruction of the Eclipse Gate is the exact same logic she used to justify Rogue's murder. ...As I mentioned above..."
 * No it's not. Rogue was right in front of her, the gate isn't. Rogue is a living being that can easily be killed, the Eclipse Gate is a magical building that may or may not be effected by her powers to begin with.


 * You say she could have just sent it back to before it was built... yeah maybe. Or maybe the thing is isolated against all kind of magic. Or maybe the active time-tunnel would prevent time-magic from properly working against it. And that is if the could even make it past all the Dragons to begin with.

"...And yet you just shrug off Gray doing the exact same thing..."


 * Yes I shrug that off and for a reason. For Ultear nearly killing Rogue meant that she almost had a fallback to being a merciless monster that in the past killed entire city populations without a moment or remorse.

And Gray? He almost killed a person who was a revived corpse to begin with, who would have "died" anyway from Juvia killing Keith. Gray never was a monster or a killer in his past. And on top of that it wouldn't have been cold-blooded murder, but killing in the heat of battle. For those two reasons the two situations a very, VERY different.

Knocking out Zeref isn't all that difficult. Ultear did it all on her own once and Gray damn well knows that. He has no reason to believe that it's impossible to knock Zeref out.

Actually all he ever saw Zeref doing with his own eyes was being carried around while he was knocked out and teleporting in to snuff out Mard Geer before teleporting out again.

"It's the equivalent of saying that Ultear should have simply got together with everybody and killed the Dragons..."

Yeah... no. I already addressed the issue of timing in my previous post so I won't restate that.

The secrecy argument is a good one I grant you. BUT he is hurt badly, so I wonder how he expected (and actually managed) to arrive before everyone else to begin with... oO

I didn't even think of this matter before this disucssion, but everyone else was running at top speed and Gray could barely keep upright... just how close were they to the guild hall for him to arrive so long before them? Spitting distance? In the neighboring house's cellar? oO
