I feel sorry for Miskos going through these mountains of text later, poor fellow. Apology accepted but I know how I am and sometimes when I speak or type I come off as an ass without trying to so I'm sure you weren't the only person who interpreted what I wrote as being condescending. When I was expressing my thoughts I was doing so from what I felt any story would be like vs just fairy tail, because of that I was interjecting mainly that I think if Rogue would beat Natsu then he would have no problem catching up to Lucy and killing her. Then the reason I said he would kill Natsu is because, I think if we took the same plot but added a different author who didn't have bias towards his favorite charaters, Rogue certainly would be able to beat Natsu and because his goal to save the world is so strong and he knows that killing Lucy would fix it, and he knows Natsu would try to stop him again if Natsu was able to move, that he might as well get rid of him for good. I just can't wait for the chapter to come out and I agree with you about with good story telling it's good to keep readers on the edge so they can't predict what will happen. For example I loved this chapter because when I read the panel where Rogue said "it's you" I thought it was Natsu, then I turn the page and Lucy has a dagger in her chest. I thought that was a great and refreshing plot twist. I wouldn't mind seeing Natsu not be able to over power Rogue but at the same time I don't find it realistic for anyone to stop Rogue, if he beats Natsu. Everyone in the GMG is torn to shreds except Sting... What if Rogue beats Natsu then runs into past Sting? or Natsu and Sting team up? That would be interesting and completely out of the blue in my opinion. Part of my brain is saying, "if Rogue just swallowed up a whole army, so he should be able to do the same to Natsu, so Natsu really shouldn't stand a chance." the other part of my brain is saying "If Natsu loses, who on earth would keep Rogue from getting to Lucy quickly and killing her?" That is the main conundrum I am in.

This arc is so confusing, especially Carla's premonitions. My brain is saying that because Carla is in the present and she can predict the future, which future is she predicting? The one that is coming because Rogue is intervening or the future that happened to cause this catastrophe in the first place? In my mind im thinking well, Carla's premonitions HAVE to be right, so with Mercurius collapsing, no matter who trys to intervene, it is going to happen because that's what Carla saw...
