Question is, does Cobra use a lacrima like Laxus does? It's been such a long time I can't remember if he did or not. Personally I suspect that Kinana has something to do with his abilities.

It's worthy to note that dragon slayer magic has less to do with how they learned their magic, but rather how it's used. That is, they are able to consume the same type of magical element they use (which means they have a basic immunity to that magic unless its source is a God-Slayer equivalent), and use dragon-themed attacks (namely the iconic Dragon Roars).

Well, Rogue did originally plan to have more dragons. I think he's just caught up in his own arrogant folly that a mere 7 dragons could defeat Acnologia.

Yes, he uses a lacrima. In fact, I remember he was the one who introduced the concept of "new generation" dragon-slayers saying that the old ones were inferior to the new ones.

I still expect another type of explanation from Rogue's sudden change of personality (Fro's death or whatever) because I don't buy the "lol I want to conquer the world" excuse.

That the dragons allowed themselves to be killed by Rogue and Sting wasn't a surprise, especially after the match against Natsu.

Ah if i'm not mistaken, Igneel, Metalicana and Grandine are still alive.

7 Dragon Slayers vs 7 Dragons! Wonder how the fight will turn out, Will it be a 1 on 1 against dragon slayer vs dragon or will the other mages support the dragon slayers.

No, I'm pretty sure that a horde of dragons did attack Future Lucy's timeline.

F. Rogue's timeline: Acnologia destroys the world, Rogue fails in his attempts to defeat him, travels back in time to when Eclipse was powerful enough to reach back to when there were still dragons around in order to summon the dragons forward to fight Acnologia.

F. Lucy's timeline: Thousands of dragons pour through the gate, wreck things, shortly after, Lucy finds Eclipse, learns the layout of the castle basement to avoid Natsu's group being drained beforehand, then travels back in time starting a butterfly effect.

Current timeline: Future Lucy forewarns Jellal, giving him time to thing about things and realize that the other time traveler might not be on the up and up. As such he requests that the Rune Knights fetch Cobra to counter the dragons. She leads Natsu and company away from Eclipse while it's still in magic draining mode, leaving Natsu able to fight, and Lucy able to close the gate.

Personally, I've been kind of expecting Future Rogue to have mercy killed Gajeel and Sting, and that combined with losing Frosch is what drove him nuts.

Actually I think Future Rogue and Future Lucy come from the same timeline, just at different points. I don't think it was said that in Future Lucy's timeline the dragons came through the gates.

It was shown, however i am not sure it that was not just a "past events". Can't be certain of anything.

Indeed that actually make a sense - Future Rogue came 1 day earlier than Future Lucy, which means by coming there he changed the future to FLucy's one and when FLucy came she changed it to the one that will happen now - only 7 dragons, which will be defeated.

I don't think there is any different timeline, remember what future Lucy said, they were recaptured and placed to jail again so during that time, Acnologia might appear and killed all the mages. Well that's just speculation too seeing Lucy and Rogue experiencing the same thing.

Just as planned, this week chapter proves me right .

Awesome chapter. I just hope that Zirconis will survive and be free from Rogue, because he's the funniest character since the start of FT.

You know, there really doesn't actually need to be 1 dragon slayer for 1 dragon. It's not like they have specific elements they need to be matched up against. It'd be more efficient for them to all gang up on a dragon one at a time while the other mages hold off the other dragons.

Well since there are also other Dragons who survived, maybe after Acnologia took over, they came back out and attacked the humans. Either way since Future Lucy didn't exactly knew detail of what truly happened, hell she didn't even knew how many days (might be even months or years) have pass since the Dragon attack when she came back to the past.

I keep forgetting Wendy is a Dragon Slayer too You can do it kid!

Then there's Sting and Rogue's confession. I got to admit that made them feel more like jerks for me than otherwise

she was like unconscious , she is a human, humans can't survive without water or food for "years" or "weeks" unconscious wwithout any one took care of her and she said who she awake alone in the ruins this means no one helping her this means who she can't be unconsciencious for "years", but she was aware who was a herd of dragons who destroyed everything.
