~Lucy~ 

I was sitting in the chair inside Zeref's tent thinking after the call with Mavis as Wendy was looking toward me worried. "What is on your mind this time?" Wendy asked as a hand went onto the Zodiacs pouch. "Ophiuchus" I soon spoke the chant as the thirteenth key came out the pouch into the air turning into her new forum. My magic being drained lodes from the first summon of this forum as I saw a woman now in front of me. She had blue eyes and shoulder length dark blonde hair. 

She was wearing a typical nurse outfit, consisting of a white dress and cap with dark gold trimmed bottom, sleeves and buttons. She also had on a badge with the Ophiuchus constellation's symbol on it. She sported a long black armband, on her left arm, covered in dark gold spikes that extended to her middle finger. To finish her outfit she had cream heels matching the nurse outfit. "So you do have a spirit forum other than a snake" I spoke with a serious tone not showing any emotion in my face.

Wendy stepped back in some fear from the memory she had when Ophiuchus took full control over me in the past. Before Luke showed to be a traitor. "I do" she spoke smirking bending down so her head would be my height as she licked her lips. "You are the first Heartfilla to ever summon me like this, how much does this drain without using the weapon inside you?" she asked with a giggle as I kept my emotionless face looking toward her as I sat up. "You are pure darkness meaning you make the taint worse but other than that you hate the idea of helping light to much so why become one with Zodiacs?" I asked.

She was enjoying this. Enjoying me with emotion. "You are why" she answered putting her hands on my cheeks. I kept my face the same. I wasn't showing her any emotion. "You are powerful in the art of dark and light, you are much like a certain Heartfilla I cared for and much like Anna who worked along side Zeref" she spoke moving her hands, putting them on her hips. "Me around you are more likely to give into that taint, think you can handle the power while controlling me and that taint?" she soon asked as I smirked.

"I am the great Heartfilla Weapon, the most powerful one ever to live, I have the power of the past and future bloodline. You do not scare me, I can handle whatever you throw, Ophiuchus" I spoke standing up as I got up Ophiuchus stood up as she was pretty much taller than me but I looked her in the face smirking as she laughed. "Even your welder friend is scared of me yet you stand there scared of hurting them but not scared to die, not scared of the one who would even turn you into that tainted vision you see" Ophiuchus spoke.

She was enjoying this. "So you see and hear it all also?" I asked as Zeref, Larcade, Irene, Brandish, Dimaria and Natsu came into the room to see. "Heartfilla, Heartfilla. I am inside of you. I that weapon you are inside remember that" she spoke licking her lips again as if I was meal to be eaten. "I if I can't control you why would I let someone else have MY host and prize" she asked as she moved to stand behind me, hugging me from behind. "Even that great Irene has move backwards sensing who I am" Ophiuchus laughed once more.

"S-she has a spirit other than a stupid black snake?" Dimaria asked loudly as I closed my eyes. "Why do you care Ophiuchus? You want the taint to take over so you can control me once again" I asked as she giggled in my ear moving her head close to mine as I felt her breath at the back of my ear. "Again you are interesting to me, so much like Anna but so much like Daniel" she spoke quietly in my ear as I felt her aura was just the same as my own. The weapon inside of me. The great Ophiuchus.

"It is a shock to see you speaking great Snake" Zeref spoke stepping forward the first to even move toward us. "I like you also King Wizard. You were close to Anna and protected her family, I give thanks to that so I shall not kill you now" she spoke as the Spriggans were glaring toward us. "She cannot harm the King while she rests inside me or Zodiacs" I soon spoke as I clicked my fingers as Ophiuchus turned into her key that went into my hand. I looked toward my new key to see it was unique. 

The key was ending in a golden spade-like tip that was connected to the key's bow by a dark serpentine figure that spirals around the blade of the key. The center of the bow was black, stamped with the crest of the Snake Charmer, colored in white, with the serpentine figure spiraled around it. "You tamed the impossible Lucy, impressive" Zeref spoke as I looked toward him. "I will become your new Spriggan Zeref but I won't be calling you King or Lord. That would be too weird" I spoke making everyone but Irene in the room to freeze up.

Zeref chuckled. "That is fine, I would like you to act the same around me by still being my good friend" Zeref spoke as I smiled as I saw worry and fear in Wendy as she moved to Natsu as I knew she was whispering how I was able to square up to Ophiuchus by losing emotion. Natsu had a worried looked making me know. "I would like to see Mavis think that will be allowed?" Zeref soon asked as I was thinking. "Not all twelve will or the guards, way to many people for the busy city" I answered.

"Irene, Larcade, Brandish, Dimaria and August shall come with me, Irene would not allow any less otherwise" Zeref spoke with his eyes close smiling as Irene sighed. "My job is to keep you breathing and safe My Lord" Irene spoke as the only people she would call Lord or bow to was Mavis and Zeref. Zeref helped save Irene so long ago. Mavis helped bring her feelings back afterward. All three became close. "That shall be fine, we can can fit in the truck then" I spoke as Zeref turned his head, his eyes closed.

"I shall set the order" Irene left the tent as Brandish and Dimaria smiled toward me for a second both going back into soldier mode. Zodiacs gave off a their clash of keys noise getting me attention as Leo showed up next to me. "You are going to be a Spriggan?" he asked slightly annoyed as I sighed. I saw it coming. "Yes, keeping peace between counties was one of my jobs before hand, only way to do that now is this way Leo" I soon explained he looked more annoyed muttering under his breath.

"I can still hear and understand you know" I snapped crossing my arms. "I agree with pink head" Leo only spoke as I sighed. Both him and Natsu would most likely hate me. I knew that. "Let's head to the truck" I only spoke as Zeref turned walking ahead with Natsu and Wendy being basically the first out. Brandish and Dimaria raised an eyebrow toward them and then looked toward me. "How long you knew them?" Brandish asked as I was confused. "They didn't know about you putting the mission and reason first" Dimaria explained.

"When they met me, I acted how I used to before the war" I then explained as they two were shock but soon sighed. "I have told them I was damaged they seem to only just noticing how damaged" I then added as Larcade came over grabbing my hands. "You are not as damaged as you think, you are still the kind girl we all know and care for" Larcade spoke as I smiled toward him. He acted the same as before. "Thank you" I whispered as we headed out the tent as Dimaria smirked. "Larcade wanna do a dare?" she asked as we was walking toward the truck.

Larcade sighed and agreed as Dimaria whispered in his ear. His face burnt up slightly as Brandish and I were confused. "Dimaria what are you planning now??" I asked as she smirked toward me and winked. "Payback" she replied as I was confused until Larcade picked me up in a princess hold. My face burning up in a second. I then noticed Ultear smirking toward me as she got into the back of the truck first. "Dimaria you better damn watch your back" I snapped as Larcade had carried me all the way to the truck as Wendy and Natsu were up front.

The rest of us got in the back as Dimaria was giggling at me. Larcade said sorry when he put me down as I didn't blame him. "Another lover boy to put in danger huh?" I heard my own voice in my head once more. "Nah, you can't pick what boy you care for the most huh? Pinkie or blondie" I then heard my voice as I closed my eyes half way through the trip annoyed her my own voice and the dark thoughts that came with it. I knew Irene would have noticed. I was grateful she kept quiet as a nightfall we returned to the town to see Mavis waiting for us with Erza next to her.

We all got out the truck Natsu and Wendy leaning on it as I brought the others to Mavis. "Zeref, Larcade" Mavis spoke smiling toward the two males as Irene looked toward Erza and then away. "This place looks sweet, Lucy give us a tour?" Dimaria asked right away grabbed my hand and dragged me off with Brandish. "Hey let go" I nearly shouted as they was rushing off with me. "You know who that red head Irene looked at was?" Dimaria asked me fast as I was confused. "Erza Scarlet, my teammate and fellow welder?" I replied confused.

"That is Irene's daughter, she had to leave her behind because she was born half human and Irene's dragon side was a danger to her" Brandish soon explained as I was in shock. E-Erza was I-Irene's daughter. I was too shocked for words as we I gave the two girls a small tour of what I knew as I was to worried to head back to my room in Natsu's house. I was in a way scared of facing him as Ophiuchus came out without summon smirking toward me. Brandish and Dimaria moved close toward me.

"Can't sense it?" she asked the two close to me as Ophiuchus laughed. "The fear, worry and rage. You will just bring that taint more onto you Miss Heartfilla" Ophiuchus spoke as Brandish and Dimaria looked toward me worried. "Your mind had some interesting thoughts or should I say the taints mind" Ophiuchus then giggled as I glared toward her, my emotions leaving my face and getting pushed down. "You will be quiet" I spoke as she looked toward me. "I am here to train with you not fight" she spoke confusing me.

"I have my own Star Dress and weapon forum, shall we get working?" she asked as I was in some shock but smirked moving forward close to her. "Alright, where do we start?" I asked shocking Dimaria and Brandish. "She could be tricking you" Brandish spoke worried as I shook my head. "You knew that Type Zero didn't you?" I then asked Ophiuchus as she nodded. "Anna called her Assassin" Ophiuchus then informed me as I offered her my hand. "Then lets train and kill her" I then spoke as Dimaria and Brandish were confused along with shocked.

"You want her dead, I can sense that and for a reason so let us learn how to deal with each other" I then added as Ophiuchus smirked toward me. "I am just liking you more and more" she spoke taking my hand as I felt power rushing through me. "Let us unlock the true power of the serpent" Ophiuchus sang as I nodded.
