You're misinterpreting what I said. I never said she went to the past to prevent Rogue going to the past. I said she went to the past to undo the future Rogue created by going to the past, namely the dragon raid.I partly agree with you. But still, whether it's Lucy or Rogue, I still don't get how those 2 are related to all dragons' invasion that Lucy mentioned. If Lucy really just went to the past to prevent future Rogue from going to the past, how come she did know about the dragons? Was it Future Rogue who will lead all the dragons to destroy the world? Or is he some kind of savior?
I'm really perplexed... I was hoping that whatever Arcadius & the princess was hiding, will give us hint on the dragons. Now, we come to know that all their confusions was due to gender miscomprehension and they are as clueless as us...
I also want to know about the shadow that possessed Rogue now... Was it a power lent to him by future Rogue who tried to help his past self against Gajeel? Or is this some power that's bestowed upon Rogue when he gets weakened and thereby, is going to lead him to a doomed persona and fate...? If Acnologia can turn from human to evil dragon, then is it possible that Rogue can turn into evil since he's a 3rd gen. slayer?
For all plausible prediction we think of, we've got like triple questions coming to us... Apart from trolling us all onto a plot twist, the best 2 things Hiro achieved in those 2 chapters, is making Sting and especially Rogue, become suddenly beyond-interesting...
Assuming 10 000 dragons really attacked the country, future Lucy went a few days back to the past to prevent that from happening and what happened was the result of Rogue going to the past from, as I said, a future way further away. With other words it's impossible for future Lucy to know future Rogue as they never met. This chapter was the first time they did.
When the dragons attacked, Rogue already had been to the past to cause that attack and then Lucy went to the past where Rogue was preparing this attack to avoid that future. So there are three timelines used: the one we are currently in, the one where future Rogue came from and the one where future Lucy came from.
At least that's my theory, currently there are still a lot of things very unclear. Following this theory it explains as why Lucy would know about the dragon attack and it also can easily explain why future Rogue would know about the attack (as it simply might be not a prediction, but the thing he is in fact aiming at) however it's flawed in it that it doesn't explain how future Rogue would have known how the Games would have ended, which he supposedly started himself as they were meant to fuel the Eclipse gate. It's still not certain either whether he is good or bad, though he definitely doesn't feel good.
