Lucy's POV
Natsu and I continue fighting with the never ending forces Lior's mom lined in front of her.
"My my, what a determined little bunch. If you get rid of them all, I may just have to release number thirteen."
Number thirteen?
I didn't understand her words.
What did she mean by number thirteen?
"Natsu, can you cover me?"
He looked to me.
"I've got you, Luce."
With Natsu covering me, I could focus on observing her.
I needed clues to number thirteen.
I looked around, before making out something shiny in her hand.
Something golden...
I looked closer, realizing what the object was.
It was a key.
A zodiac key at that.
"A celestial wizard?" I mumbled to myself.
Number thirteen...
My eyes widened.
"She has Ophiuchus..." I mumbled once more.
"Lucy, what's up? You just got this look..." Natsu called out to me.
"Natsu, she's a celestial wizard! She has the thirteenth zodiac key!"
"Great! So you can take her down, right?" He questions.
"Not great! That key is dangerous, and I don't think that's all of her tricks either. She probably still has more up her sleeve."
"What's all the chat about? Has the fairy finally fallen into her place?! Has she realized where she's supposed to be in this battle?!"
"You have no right to talk to Luce like that! You're the one who needs to be put in your place!" Natsu shouted at Lior's mother.
I was taken aback by everything.
What should we do?
Natsu was about to finish up with her henchmen.
I needed to figure out what we were going to do about Ophiuchus.
We also needed to be careful of any tricks she may have had yet to reveal.
Think Lucy... think.
"That's it!" I exclaimed.
Natsu glanced back over at me.
"What is it?!"
"You'll see soon enough! I may have a way to end this!"
He sent a smile my way.
"You've got this, Luce! I'm counting on you!"
We both get back to fighting her protectors, starting to finish up.
It was almost time.
"Foolish children... you're giving yourselves false hope..."
Natsu and I finished up the last one.
"There's nothing false about it." I replied.
She looked at us in anger.
"Very well then. No more games."
She held her key up in the air.
"Gate of the Snake Bearer, Ophiuchus!" She called out.
The monster released itself out into the open air.
It was time.
I only hoped my plan would follow through.
