Lucy and Yukino use their celestial spirits on Eclipse in a futile attempt to destroy it. In the sky, Natsu realizes that Frosch is dead in Future Rogue's timeline, which Rogue confirms is the cause of his own corruption. With Atlas Flame's help, Natsu rams Rogue and Motherglare into Eclipse, which destroys the gate. The dragons, Rogue, and the alternate Lucy's body disappear into their respective timelines as a result; the alternate Lucy awakens in a golden grassland and meets the spirits of her friends who were killed in her timeline. As he disappears, Rogue tells Natsu to protect Frosch in one year's time, shocking him with the mysterious name of Frosch's killer.
