...You know what you said just bumped up the chance of my theory that there are three timelines. One where the Eclipse went as planned and they killed Zeref. This in turn meant the Dragons never went extinct and they reasserted their existence on the day of the Eclipse. That would be Future Rogue's timeline.
Second timeline is future Lucy's where Rogue has already gone back through time to change it only in the end it ended up bringing the dragons into the present as well through the Eclipse gate.
And third is the present timeline where the first two converged.
I really like your theory, it makes sense! but there is something I don't like :P
can I make a little summary?
Well from this chapter is clear now that Future Rogue comes from a FUTURE '1' where 10'000 dragons appear. Maybe in this time line the gate was used to kill Zeref in the past and that made the dragons to appear in the present. But there is a nosense in this theory because if it is then Rogue could just travel back and NOT USE the gate in FUTURE '2' (Zeref will never be killed and dragons will never appear).
So Rogue comes back in F.Lucy's future (future '2') , but they never met each other. F.Rogue's presence alters the time and so F.Lucy comes back too this time. Rogue's plan fails because the gate was never be opened. Now we have the question: who prevents the gate to be opened? Lucy or not? Is Rogue wrong? Does Lucy suffer of amnesia? Was Lucy possesed by someone, maybe zeref? But how could Lucy do that if she was in jail when dragons came? there are too many theories about this question.
And one more thing: it seems that dragons don't come from the gate because rogue said that even if the gate was prevented to be opened they appeared anyway.
If I misunderstand your theory please let me know :)
And now let me say something about the chapter itself... I'm loving it! As a girl I'm quite moved :-(
...but Rogue is really blind to not see two lucy standing in front of him ahahah OMG
