First off is that if I came off in that last reply as insulting or mean, it was because the way I interpreted your last replies to be in a similar manner however it felt more as if you ignoring my main points I was trying to convey in my previous posts which irritated me a little. As for speculation, assumption is relatively the same thing. Anyway a lot of the questions we are saying can't answered till later so that's why we're assuming things, like that question about why isn't Natsu saving the past? I just find it weird how people would think that Rogue would out right kill Natsu if he does defeat him as we don't know what effect that would have on the future so you would believe that Rogue would leave him to stop any drastic changes to the future. The exact reason that we don't know how it will change the future makes me think that Natsu's death after this upcoming battle if he loses is a dumb idea. Anyway I said nothing about Natsu surviving the dragon's attack because that is unknown. He could have survived, just died or died protecting people, maybe even wandering the future world. Here I'm just saying what I would like to see as I believe it would make a more interesting story. Even if Natsu loses I think that Lucy wouldn't die because of Natsu holding back Rogue from his goal while Lucy and the others leave him to deal with Rogue alone. Just because its speculation doesn't mean I can't express my feelings about it or try argue why I believe some ideas don't appeal to me. As for your proof on Rogue caring little for Natsu, I don't really see where you are coming from with is point as is it because of the comparison to the reactions of Lucy towards Natsu to Rogue's or something else to do with any idea of Natsu part in the future. I see that even if it doesn't so it Rogue would still respect Natsu and wouldn't take his life if he was to defeat him. Like I said before with his respect shown in this arc in his present self and the butterfly effect it just doesn't make sense to kill Natsu because of how unnecessary it would be. As with Lucy escaping the way I want this to go is with Lucy getting away to warn people about Future Rogue and with Rogue losing her in the tunnels after beating Natsu and leaving him. All I want is for Rogue to be strong enough to defeat Natsu so this plot can grow into something more entertaining ans suspenseful as a strong makes the reader worry more like when Zancrow battled Natsu it had me worrying how Natsu would survive. I just want the suspenseful feeling of not knowing how the final conflict will turn out. This battle should display Rogue's power from the future and the next should be a clash with no obvious outcome. And now at this point I see what you meant by Rogue killing Natsu but I still disagree as Natsu's role in the future is still unknown and just because he maybe dead does not mean he didn't make a difference in events that left 10% alive.

On strength I don't think Elfman is psychically stronger than Natsu as we saw from Chapter 2 how easily brushed aside he was and even though that was for comedic effect he hasn't done much afterwards to improve that image even though I do like him and feel bad when he's beaten up. As for Rogue I thought the strongest part of his magic was that is allows him to kill dragons like the other types? Anyway I don't think he gains power from consuming people in his shadows but is has increased. I'm just hoping it would show in him capable enough of surviving in the hostile future. I just think his powers should have increased greatly knowing the future as I wouldn't think the Human Race couldn't survive 7 years in that world without some people protecting them. I just like to think that the majority of the Dragon Slayers survived the attack and went on to protect what's left of humanity. That's just my idea of what the future would be like here. It makes me wonder that if Rogue was to become a lot stronger what would the others be like? Actually I might as well explain what I think happened to allow Rogue to survive. Mainly as I just said I think the majority of the Dragon Slayers at the GMG made it through and went to protect what’s left maybe with a few exceptions like Natsu who died fighting or went of wandering looking for Igneel seeing how dragons attacked. They the survivors would then continue through living trying to regain what's left of humanity honing their skills while doing some. Finally one day they are able to reach the eclipse gate planning on changing the future knowing what went wrong years ago and three get sent back (because of the Princess saying how she wouldn't be surprised) to solve each with a different objective, one being kill the one who closed the gate, the other being tell the Princess the plan and the other being prepare that gate for attack. Anyway that's my brief idea of what I think might happen.

So I'm sorry if I was a prick before. It was probably just my misunderstanding of your earlier comments.
