I know I said it would be short but...


 * Note: This happened in an alternate future, the one where Rogue Cheney (Future) came from.

Six years have passed since the end of the last Grand Magic Games in X791; five years since Acnologia descended upon Fiore and destroyed everything I knew and loved; five years since Acnologia killed my best friend. Killed Frosch. Ever since that day I've been living on my own, hiding from the predator of humanity known as the Dragon King. I don't know how many people still live, but I know most of the ones I used to know are dead. I don't know if anyone from Sabertooth is still alive, and frankly, I hope they are all dead. Specially Sting. If only I was certain that he was dead I'd be able to die in peace, but until then, I'll have to keep living, hiding from the many dragons that now roam Fiore, looking for any survivors they can eat. I don't know how so many of them suddenly started appearing in the world, but I do know that its all because of the Dragon King. Here in the Dragon Graveyard under the Domus Flau I've been researching the remaining of dead dragons, trying to find more about them and possibly find any weakness. Any weakness other than us Dragon Slayers, of course. Though us Dragon Slayers tried to stand up to Acnologia 5 years ago, we failed. We were no match for such a demon. All of the Dragon Slayers from Fairy Tail died, only leaving me, Sting and Cobra; but when the Dark Mage was slaughtered, we ran away. I failed Fiore and hid, leaving Acnologia unleashed to destroy everything.

But that's alright. (◣◡◢)

I've now found the answer. I've found the way to deal with Acnologia after researching these dragon bones. With the Magic I've created to manipulate Dragons, I will make Acnologia my slave and be the new ruler of this world!

Rogue leaves the Dragon Graveyard and enters the Grand Magic Games arena, remembering the X791 Grand Magic Games, when he encounters a familiar face. In the stands, looking down at the arena, sits Sting. Sting: Rogue... ಠ_ಠ Rogue: Sting. Sting: It's been years, huh? I... I'm sorry. Rogue: ... Sting: I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what happened. Rogue: Don't apologize. No matter how much you beg I will never forgive you. Sting: Rogue... P— Rogue: Shut the hell up. I told you I would kill you the next time I saw you. Sting: I'm sorry!! Rogue: Fuck off with your apologies!!! They won't bring Frosch bag you bitch!!! Sting: I... I didn't... Rogue: Just shut the fuck up!! Rogue unsheathes his sword and slashes in Sting's way. Rogue: Shadow Dragon's Woodpecker!! A sharp, beak-shaped mass of shadows is fired at Sting, who jumps out of the way, only to see another one coming his way. Sting barely avoids it and falls on the floor in the stands. Sting: I don't want to fight you, Rogue. Rogue: Then just stand still so I can kill you. Sting: I can't do that either. I'm sorry, but I'm needed right now, and so are you. That's why I've come. Rogue: ... Sting: I've traveled all over Fiore looking for survivors and I've managed to find many powerful Mages, even one of the Gods of Ishval. Rogue: I don't care. Sting: Look. I think... I think that if everyone unites, we'll be able to face Acnologia. We know that many of us may die, but we are all prepared to do what must be done. Rogue: Hahahaha!! You think you can do anything against that demon?!! You are more stupid than I thought, Sting. Sting: Yes, we can. I know we can, but we need another Dragon Slayer. We need you. Rogue: Hahahaha!! Like hell I'll do that! Why would I fight Acnologia when I can just make it my slave?! Sting: ... What are you talking about? Rogue: I've been studying dragons for the past five years and I've developed a Magic to control them. Sting: What? You can stop the Dragon King? You can save everyone?! Rogue: No. (◣◡◢) I will find Acnologia and enslave him, and with his power I will become the new king of this world! Hahahaha!! Sting: ಠ_ಠ I can't let you do that. Rogue: Then you'll just have to kill me. Sting: B—But... Very well. I'm sorry Rogue. Rogue: Let's see who kills the other first. Shadow Dragon's Wing Beat! Rogue swings his sword in the direction of Sting, sending a wave of shadows in the form of a wing. Sting jumps out of the way. Sting: White Dragon's Jet White beams appear under Sting's feet, propelling him like a bullet fired at Rogue. Rogue suddenly starts sinking into the ground, becoming a shadow. Sting lands on the ground, looking for Rogue, but as soon as he touches the earth, he gets stabbed by Rogue's sword that comes out of his own shadow. Sting: Tch. You've gotten stronger Rogue. Rogue starts rising from Sting's shadow and swings his sword once more. Rogue: Shadow Dragon's— Rogue realizes that in less than a second Sting had disappeared out of sight. Rogue turns around, looking for Sting, when he suddenly is attacked from above. Sting: Sting, now having entered White Drive, kicks Rogue and smashes him into the ground. Sting rolls and lands a few meters away from Rogue. Shadows start enveloping Rogue's body and cloaking him like a dark aura. Rogue starts rising from the ground. Rogue: Shadow Drive The two Mages stand tall, looking at each other, one enveloped in light and the other enveloped in shadows. Rogue: It looks like you have finally noticed the purpose of a Dragon Slayer's Drive. You used to use it to increase your strength, speed and endurance; but that's not the real purpose of the Drive. All Dragon Slayers are able to enter the Drive but its purpose is to only increase the link between the Dragon Slayer and their element, to become one with the elements. Sting: I've noticed. Now I can move at the speed of light. Sorry, but you won't be able to touch me again. White Dragon's Rocket In a split second, Sting disappears and reappears across the arena while creating a hole in the middle of Rogue's chest. Rogue's body, however, quickly regains its original shape. Rogue: Hhm hm hm. Have you forgotten who I am? I am a shadow. You can't touch a shadow either. Sting: Hmph. We'll see about that. Rogue: Rogue's body seemingly splits apart into hundreds of black crows that fly at Sting at incredible speed. Sting puts his hands together at his side. Sting: White Dragon's Holy Ray!!! Sting fires a multitude of beams of light at the murder of crows, splitting them apart, but only for a few seconds as they quickly regain their shape. Sting: Tch. The crows reach Sting, but he suddenly disappears. Rogue regains his form, only to see Sting flying at him with White Dragon's Jet. Rogue: Shadow Dragon's Woodpecker! Shadow Dragon's Woodpecker! Shadow Dragon's Woodpecker! Sting easily dodges each one while in midair and fires himself like bullet against Rogue. Rogue, confident in his shadow body, stays still, but suddenly, Sting's body starts glowing. Sting: White Dragon's Luminous Jet Sting body becomes light itself and hits Rogue with a full body tackle, sending the Shadow Dragon Slayer flying against a wall of the Domus Flau arena. Rogue falls on the ground and coughs blood. Rogue: How? Sting: Have you forgotten who I am? I am light. Light that kills shadows. I may be the only person in the world that can stop you in this new state. Rogue: I'll still kill you asshole!!! Rogue's body starts growing black scales and, seeing this, Sting also starts growing white scales. Rogue: Dragon Force Sting: Dragon Force Rogue: Shadow Dragon's Wing Beat! Shadow Dragon's Wing Beat! Two wing-like waves of shadows are sent at Sting, but Sting's leg start glowing like light. He puts a hand on the ground and does a side-kick towards the waves, creating a large blade-shaped light that cuts the shadow waves. Sting: White Dragon's Luminous Scythe Sting appears in front of Rogue and as he is about to punch Rogue, a large pillar of darkness erupts under him, blowing him away. Rogue doesn't let any time pass and envelops his arm with shadows. Rogue: Shadow Dragon's Waxwing Flash! Before Rogue can make contact Sting disappears and kicks Rogue from side. Rogue falls on the ground rolling and quickly gets up while stabs his sword forward. Rogue: Shadow Dragon's Peacock Spectrum! Multitudes of long, sharp shadows come out of Rogue's sword, but Sting appears and disappears, avoiding each one. Sting uses White Dragon's Jet, but Rogue sinks into the ground and becomes a shadow. Sting redirects the light beams and starts flying upwards and then turns to face the ground. Sting: White Dragon's Holy Breath!!! The entire arena is enveloped with the beam of light, but Rogue with his shadow body appears above Sting and kicks him down, but Sting grabs Rogue's leg and brings him down with him, both smashing into the arena. Both Mages roll and quickly get up. Rogue: Shadow Dragon's Roar!! Sting: White Dragon's Roar!! The Dragon Slayer roars collide, creating a huge explosion that covers the entire arena and blows away both Mages. The debris settles down, revealing the two Mages face down on the ground. Slowly, Sting raises his head and faces Rogue. Sting: You are strong Rogue. You could've really helped us save everyone. I'm sorry for what I did. Sting slowly starts getting up. Sting: I'm really sorry. But in order to save humanity, I'll have to kills you. Sting starts gathering energy and light starts coming out of his body. Rogue starts getting up. Rogue: You cannot kill me. Sting: White Dragon's Secret Art... The dark clouds above Domus Flau start dispersing. Rogue: I cannot die. Sting: Holy Nova: The sky above the arena opens up. Rogue: Not until I've avenged Frosch. Sting: Maximum Galaxy!!! A pillar of light descends on Rogue and it starts widening. But suddenly, the pillar starts becoming smaller. It becomes thinner as it is absorbed until it is completely devoured by Rogue. Sting: This... You... Rogue: Ahhh. So this is what it feels like. Disbelieved, Sting just stares at Rogue, contemplating the fate of the world in the hands of this demon. Sting: Rogue. Rogue: I'm done listening to you. Time for you to die. Sting sinks into the ground, becoming a shadow. Sting: It looks like there is nothing I can do now. I just want to apologize one last time. Rogue, I'm sorry I let Frosch die. I know you can never forgive me, but— Sting is stopped as a beam of light and shadows pierces his heart. Rogue, behind him, watches Sting's dead body fall.
