(Gajeel POV)

After we had left the other dragons, we took to the sky, I had Titania and Fernandes riding with me and the Shrimp. 

"Are you sure you are going to be okay, after all Ivan is the guy that imprisoned and tortured you?" The Shrimp asked me, I smirked and laughed. 

"The thing about metal dragons like my Pops and I is that we are sturdy and if there is one thing that I inherited from that shadow dragon mother of mine is her vindictive spirit," I told her, "You don't have to worry about me shaking in my scales Shrimp, you should be more worried about me tearing that goatee wearing megalomaniac want-to-be to shreds."

I looked down and saw the small army of mages that the Dreyar in question had gathered and we had started to fly down to the clearing. 

My claws hit the ground as we landed on the rocky grasslands of the battle field. I looked up to stare at the man that had tormented us for at least two years as well as mutated my pack members and the celestial spirits who had become our comrades. It is time for some sweet revenge.

(Gray POV) 

Laxus was the last dragon to land, but it seemed like Ivan wanted to wait for us before speaking.

"Well, well, well, it has been a long time since we had seen each other," Ivan had started, the dragons had only growled back at him, "Doesn't this bring back memories Laxus of when you and your old Pops would go and visit the different kingdoms of the empire, when I had implanted you with that lacrima, and you had continued to show that weakness that I headed so much." 'Is he monologuing?" I thought as the man continued his spiel about his dragon son was weak. 

"If I recall correctly bastard, you had abandoned me in the mountains of the Pergrande Kingdom after seeing my so-called weakness, leaving me to be killed by the hostile dragons of the territory," Laxus interrupted, "And imagine that I manage to survive those mountains and make it all the way back to Fiore, now does that sound weak to you, dickhead."

"I am a man that had held 7 dragons and 15 Celestial Spirits, I think you and I have a different definition of the strong and weak when I, a mere human, can hold such creatures as my prisoners," Ivan had announced to his group when with his army roaring in agreement, "That fact alone shows that I am superior to you feeble dragons."

"The dragons you had captured were children at best compared to those around them," Lucy countered her eyes glowing green, "You had captured the three youngest, who you used as leverage for our compliance, you crippled your captives and beat them to elevate your own ego. You are not strong nor are you brave; you are the one who is weak and cowardly." Ivan glowered at the celestial mage, who glowed in the final light of the sunset disappearing as the blue hour ended and started heading into dusk.

"We came here to fight, if you are just here to hear the sound of your own voice then prepare for us to run into this battlefield and take what is ours and return to our homes while you continue your superfluous speech," Erza cried out from the ground, sword in the air with her golden in the moonlight, the stars just entering the sky. 

"Fine, I was giving you time to think of your surrender but if you truly think that you can win, then I have no problem tearing off those fragile wings of yours, Fairy Tail, and showing you the cold truth of the world." Ivan snarled and with a wave of his hand then the sky burst into a show of lights. 

In the Celestial World

(Leo POV)

I held the hilt my Ras Elased steady as the blade of claymore rested in the ground waiting for the stars to show in Fiore's skies. To my left there was Aries with her shield, Hamal's Horns, the shield already in front of her waiting for her chance to protect Lucy. To her left was Taurus, he had his axe, Aldebaran, in his hands, his armor had needed some minor modifications but they now fix the minotaur perfectly. To Taurus's left there was Virgo with her mace, Porrima's Star, and her shield, Sancte meus Adiutor, at the ready, she had changed her maid outfit for more of a battle maiden, her chains had been removed and they had held back Virgo monstrous strength that she used to shatter mountains, if the stories are to be believed. To my right was Aquarius, she held her trident, The Situla of Neptune, was at her side, instead of the urn she had a water skin at her side to summon water from, which was far easier to carry around than an urn. Scorpio was to her right, his pistols, flintlocks to be accurate, Bracchium, at both ends and his modified tail was at the ready. To his right was Gemini, who wore black outfits, had their chakrams, Pollux and Castor, at their waist, and a bag which held various poisons and the like which they had used to coat the weapons when they were spies and assassins. Behind me was Capricorn, who had forgone his usually butler outfit for a more form fitting outfit, out of all of us he and Sagittarius needed the greatest modifications done to their original armor, Gemini just had to get theirs resized.  I couldn't help but wonder how he trained to get used to a tail but we would have to wait to see what happened on the battlefield. Capricorn had his knives, Deneb Algedi, strapped to his chest. Behind Capricorn, was Cancer, the crab constellation was welding his two dadao swords, Acubens and Asellus, where in his hands ready to slice off the heads of his enemies, his red black hair was tied back into a ponytail and his scissors were hanging at his waist. Behind us, the three Zodiac spirits that didn't belong to the Princess stood in a row, to the left stood Pisces. The mother son duo had their tridents in hand, Aphrodite and Eros, the mother had a rope javelin at her side, Al Risha, the two had decided to fight in their human forms rather than as fish. To the right there was Libra with her sickle swords, Ordo and Verum, the hilts of each blade was marked with Egyptian symbols of their respective names. In the center was Ophiuchus, she decided she was in her half human form, which unlike her human form, had a snake body instead of legs, her shamshir, Rasalhague, and her medial kit, Barnard, was at her hip. She was in a more human shape now but I knew at a moment's notice she would change into her giant snake body if she saw her master in danger. Behind all of us was Sagittarius with his Sagitta for support. The centaur had his bow, The Kaus Media, at the ready already with an arrow already in the bow.  

Surrounding us was the rest of the Celestial Army, the Canises, from Minor to Venatici, the Ursas, my own Minors armed with their Praecipua, which were swords ranging from short swords to rapiers. The Caelums were charged and ready fire artillery rounds, Pyrix was there to tell them where to aim, this was because of the changes made to him by the experiment, now instead of just knowing the direction of a location or object, he can now know the coordinates of what he is looking for because now he maps out the area around him. This new ability of his did get him into a bit of trouble with the other navigational constellations for a bit but it was soon sorted out. 

 Lyra was there with her sisters, the lyres on their backs only acted as storage for their specific weapons as each one of the girls had a different type of sword depending on their place in the quartet. Lyra, the Soprano, had estoc swords, Vega, the Alto, used rapiers, Eta, the Tenor, used basket hilted swords, and Mu, the Bass, used long swords. These swords were called the Quartet Strings, these Strings were the main reason that the other three sisters couldn't allow their keys to appear in Earthland. What made these swords special is the fact that they were meant to all be used together, so without the other three sisters, the power of the Strings would decrease.

Horologium wasn't in his clock instead he was standing at the ready with his rapiers, Hora and Minutus, at his sides, attached to his chest was a bag which I knew held something that the young man was far more famous for in the past. Unlike most silver keys that had multiple keys, there was only one key for Horologium, while the teen didn't have the physical or magical prowess to warrant this, nor was he a Zodiac, so for celestial mages of the modern day there is as to why there is only one key for Horologium. The reason for this is because of the ability he had in the past, before the armory was sealed there was an object that Horologium had used to channel a particular power. This object was a watch of sorts, the power it had controlled was the power to stop time. Horologium will say that it doesn't stop time, it does other things and there are rules that he has to follow for it to work, but it basically does stop time. 

In the back of the army is the command center, that is where the less combatant constellations were, like the other Pyrix's, though I discussed with the King about giving Lucy's Pyrix a different name and key because of his changes, to limit confusion on the battle field. Of the constellations there, Crux, or Grandpa Crux as Lucy likes to call him, was there with that library of books with him. The command center was quickly moved to the Argo Navis, a ship made from four constellations: Vela, the Sails, Puppis, the Stern, and Carina, the Keel, with the first and oldest Pyrix as the compass of the ship. It had to be disassembled when the armory was closed but when it was still whole, it was the favorite place for Gemini to hang around, now it was being used as a mobile command center. I looked back at the Celestial King, who was unable to join us, his key was permanently destroyed when the Celestial Spirit Realm was created, if the stories from Crux are to be believed. I looked back at the ground and saw that it was getting closer to the time for our arrival. 

"My fellow Spirits," We all turned to look at our king, who was standing to give us a final farewell, "It is time for our fellow Spirits and their master to be avenged for the wrongs that have been done to them, now before you leave, I have two things to tell you." The king looked at Lucy's Pyrix and pointed to him, "You will be now known as Chartis, the Starry Map," the air around him had lit up around him signaling a new constellation finding a home in the sky. "And I wish you well in your battle, show those humans that they shouldn't have woken this sleeping dragon."

Roars had echoed throughout the realm as our army ran through the gate to the battlefield to face the Raven Tail Guild and their allies. 

After I had landed on the ground I looked over at Lucy and smiled. 

"Hey Princess, I hope you don't mind us dropping in."

_____________________________

As promised, I have given you a long chapter to read. I am sorry for the delay, the allergies that I managed to avoid throughout the fall and spring decided that they wanted to wait until my summer break to hit me at full force and I honestly felt so bad that I didn't think that I could write a good chapter because of it. 

But I was able to get this chapter written, now this chapter has many different things that I had to research a bit to get it correct, if you want to have all the facts and trivia about how I named the celestial spirit's weapons I will be including them at the end, as well as a chart of the different types of swords because there are many different types of swords used by the spirits. 

I hope that you have joined this chapter.

Facts and Trivia (Feel free to skip this if you want)

Zodiac

Leo

Ras Elased - This is two stars that are located at the head of the Leo constellation, Ras Elased Borealis is located or at the jaw and Ras Elased Australis is located closer to the mouth. They are also known as Mu Leonis and Epsilon Leonis respectively. While there were other stars that I could have chosen from, like the brightest star of Leo, Regulus, I chose this one because of their location on the constellation and the fact that Regulus was already being used as one of Leo's spells. 

Aries

Hamal's Horns - Hamal is the brightest star on the Aries Constellation and it wasn't being used as any spells that Aries herself was using, and the star is conveniently located on the head of the constellation.  

Taurus

Aldebaran - This is the brightest star of the Taurus Constellation and it is located at the head of the bull, the name is only used once in the as a combo with Scorpio in the Grand Magic Games, it was only mentioned once and it sounded like a good name for the axe. 

 Virgo

Porrima's Star - Porrima is the second brightest star of the Virgo Constellation, Spica was already taken as a spell that Virgo uses in the show. This star is also known as Gamma Virginis. 

Sancte meus Adiuter- This is Google translate Latin, it means My Holy Helper, this is a bit of a nod to the fact that Virgo is the Virgin Constellation and Virginity is a very holy thing, like the Virgin Mary for example. 

Aquarius

The Situla of Neptune- Situla is a bright star that is in the Aquarius Constellation, this is also another name of an urn. I added the "of Neptune" part because it is kind of weird to call the trident that someone like Aquarius uses and urn. 

Scorpio 

Bracchium- Two things about this, the bracchium is the forearm and I didn't want to use an of the stars of the constellation, for reasons that at this moment I can't remember. I wanted him to have some form of pistol for his weapons, and flintlocks were pistols from 1600s. The man has a metal tail so I don't think that he would use a weapon that is close range, and while I could have given him a spear or something I thought that a pair of guns would have been much cooler. These could have been the weapons that he made his tail or something. 

Gemini

Pollux and Castor - These are two stars in the Gemini Constellation. Fun fact about this constellation, in Greek myths, there were two twin brothers, Castor, the mortal son of the king Tyndarus, and Pollux, the immortal son of Zeus. I won't go into the whole myth but to sum it up when Castor had died, Pollux had asked to mortal so that he could join his brother in the afterlife, and Zeus had shown his sympathy for the two by immortalizing them in the sky as a constellation. 

Capricorn 

Deneb Algedi- This is the brightest star of the Capricorn Constellation; I had changed around the name of Capricorn's weapon and had finally decided on just going with the brightest star.  This star is also known as Delta Capricorni and is located at the tail of the constellation. 

Cancer

Acubens and Asellus -  Acubens is the star that is the claw of the Cancer constellation also known as Alpha Cancri. Asellus are two stars in Cancer, Asellus Australis and Asellus Borealis, which are also known as Delta Cancri and Gamma Cancri respectively. 
(A/N I wrote this after realizing that while writing the next chapter that I had forgotten Cancer so I had to add him in.)

Pisces

Aphrodite and Eros - In the myth that Pisces associated with is the story of how Aphrodite and her son Eros (aka Venus and Cupid for Roman Mythology) were rescued by fish or turned into fish to escape the monster Typhon. 

Al Risha - This is means "the cord" in Arabic, as Pisces is a Babylonian constellation despite being associated with a Greek and roman myth. As it was shown to the Babylonians as two carp joined by a cord or rope. I made the weapon named after a rope javelin and gave it the mother of the celestial spirit pair to sort of tie into the myth by saying maybe Aphrodite had tied her and Eros together so that they didn't lose each other while fleeing from Typhon (This is just something that came from my brain and is in no way true or in the myths).

Libra

Ordo and Verum - This has no stars tied to the name, this is just Google translate for Order and Truth in Latin. I didn't want to use the brightest star because its name is Zubenesechamali and I didn't want to have to write that down every time that I mentioned the weapon. I gave the weapon Egyptian symbols because Libra has a character design that depicts her sort of like a belly dancer so I looked up where belly dancing came from and it comes from Egypt, so I used Egyptian symbols. 

(I am just now realizing that my search history must look very strange with all of the random research that I did for this story)

Ophiuchus 

Rasalhague - This is brightest star on the Ophiuchus Constellation and that is reason that I chose it and the it is an awesome name for a sword. It means the head of the snake bearer. 

Barnard - This is the second closest star to earth, and I made it the medical kit because anyone who has watched the Eclipse Celestial Spirit Arc knows that Ophiuchus was depicted as a nurse, probably a nod to one of the origins of the constellation. One version of the story goes that when the son of Apollo, Asclepius, the god of medicine, had used his staff to kill a snake another snake gave it some herbs that brought it back to life. Asclepius had used these herbs to bring back the son of King Minos as well as others. This, however, caused Hades to complained to Zeus about less people entering the underworld and Zeus killing Asclepius. Apollo didn't like Zeus killing his son so to appease the god of the sun, Zeus placed Asclepius into the sky creating the constellation Ophiuchus.

Sagittarius

Kaus Media - While this is not the brightest star in the constellation (something that I had incorrectly said in previous chapters and had now fixed), I choose it for its location which is near the bow. This constellation is also known as Delta Sagittarii. 

Silver Keys

Leo Minor

Praecipua - This is the brightest star in the Leo Minor constellation, it is also known as 46 Leonis Minoris. 

Lyra

Quartet Strings - Vega was the brightest constellation and the other sisters were just other stars that I found in the constellation like Mu is the star Mu Lyrae and Eta is Eta Lyrae. I gave them their roles based on my limited knowledge from the small choir that I had at my school and I had just adapted the roles I saw used there to a female quartet, so there might be some error there. 

Horologium 

Hora and Minutus - This is just Google translate hour and minutes into Latin, like they are the hour and minute hands on a clock. 

Argo Navis

Argo Navis - This was actually a constellation until it was split into three separate constellations in 1763 due to its size. It was separated into Puppis the Stern, Carina the Keel, and Vela the Sails. Pyrix was supposed to be the compass of the Argo according to the myth that the Argo Navis is from. Fun Fact: Remember Pollux and Castor from the Gemini Constellation, they were Argonauts or Crew of the Argo who sailed with Jason. 

Lucy's Pyrix

Chartis - This is just Google translate map in Greek, I didn't want to call this celestial Pyrix all the time when there were now a hundred of them joining the battle field, it would be confusing.
