Approaching Hisui at Eclipse, Lucy tells the princess that the Eclipse Cannon has no such function, having been telepathically informed of this by her spirit Crux. To the horror of everyone present, dragons from the distant past suddenly begin to emerge from the gate, which has been sabotaged by Rogue's future self to remain open under the eclipsed moon. Lucy and Yukino summon the twelve zodiac spirits, who use their power to close Eclipse, leaving only seven dragons outside. Future Rogue takes command of the dragons and orders them to lay waste to Crocus; the wizard guilds fight the dragons, but are completely overpowered and unable to harm them with their magic. Recovering from his injuries, Natsu appears on the city rooftops to confront Rogue again.
