Natsu was struggling to hold the shield up. Erza was helping me onto my feet as I was struggling to move at all. Gray soon joined Natsu in holding up a shield as Zodiac's was jingling like crazy. The shield going down was attracting monsters and creatures of darkness to the city. "We have to get ready to fight an army" I spoke as vines came out grabbing me and Erza as they was the same ones that grabbed me before. "That is no helping the city" a voice spoke behind us as I froze up, my eyes widening as Gray and Natsu were struggling.

They wanted to help us but had to stop Ophiuchus's blast from getting out of hand. Erza and I were turned around through the vines being lifted slightly into the air as I saw her. My cousin Michelle. Her right eye was covered by a rose eye patch as you could still see her bright blue left eye. Her hair was lifted up looking like it was floating and sticking out with two parts going down to breast that framed her face while she still had that fringe over her forehead. She was wearing a short, strapless shirt made entirely of dark green petals, and she had long, dark green gloves that reach to the top of her arms. 

She also sport a short wide skirt made of dark green petals that pointed sideways and she also had pouch-like boots. Her left arm and both her legs were adorned by light green thorny vines.  "Michelle" I spoke in a whisper in pure shock as Erza had Twin Bloods glowing as she was about to destroy the vines holding her. "Big Sister please stand down and come with us then we can let this city live, they will destroy it to hurt you more" Michelle spoke as I was in much shock, joy and fear seeing her once more.

My eyes were watering fast and building tears in the corners of my eyes. "Michelle stop this, we once vowed to protect everyone no matter the race, no matter who, we was to protect the future" I spoke loudly as Michelle walked to stand right in front of me as I had to look down being floated in the air slightly. "Big Sister the future of Fairies must be saved and the only way is to do this" Michelle spoke as Erza made the vines around her explode on the inside freeing her as she was out of breath pulling out Twin Bloods.

She was aiming them toward Michelle. "Free Lucy right now" Erza ordered as Michelle had no emotion on her face looking toward Erza. She couldn't care less of the new welders. "Michelle" I whispered tears going down my face as I closed my eyes. In my mind I was begging for this to be some dream and I would wake up inside that damn crystal. I was praying this wasn't really happening. I was praying Michelle wasn't like this. While crying, hoping and praying I heard clashes of swords as well as screams of terror. 

My eyes shot open to see monster going into the city. Gray was fighting Christen while Natsu was getting some strength back. Ophiuchus had kissed Jessie and Charlie and returned to her world as I was able to move once more fully. "Leo" I whispered crying still as I heard my own voice crack while doing so. I wasn't long until I felt the vines be destroyed as I fell into someone's arms. "Lucy please remember they are gone" I heard Leo's voice as I was put onto the ground. I was able to sense him return as a key.

I didn't have the magic to support him to stay in his forum. I pushed myself up as I opened my eyes to see Erza struggling to defend Michelle's attacks as she now had a shield and sword in her hands matching her outfit. "Michelle stop this" I nearly shouted as Natsu and Gray sent a combo of ice and fire at Christen who was able to block it with her ice demon slayer magic. "Natsu, Gray get to the town I can handle Christen" I soon spoke as they was my friends and family at one point. It had to be me to short them out.

"You sure?" they both asked sounding worried as I smiled. "Hai" I replied as they rushed into the city to help with the monsters. I heard many loud weapons clashing with each other, being fired or used. I heard chants of magic spells being used also. "Zodiacs" I nearly shouted getting the twelve keys to move around me as Christen sent ice shards toward me as the Zodiac shield blocked the attacks. Once they touch the shield they melted into water. "Rain I know you can hear my call, I need water and a lot of it" I whispered using Zodiacs to contact the weapon on the other side of the city.

It wasn't long until rain started to pour harder and faster building up deep puddles around as Christen came toward me wanting to weaken the Zodiacs shield. "Aquarius Short Dagger Swords" I spoke summoning two water colour themed swords in my hands. I blocked an ice sword with them as I heard Erza struggling behind me. "Just a little more" I whispered needing just the smallest bit more of water. "Aquarius won't save you Lucy" Christen spoke as I sent a water blast through the swords sending Christen flying away from me into the city gate.

I turned around fast throwing one of the swords toward Michelle as she pushed Erza away from her and used her shield to block the hit. I smirked as I changed fast into the Star Dress: Aquarius as I used the water in the swords and in my dress to move faster than any eyes could keep up. I was holding the sword once more in front of Michelle as her eyes widen as I kicked her gut hard sending her backwards. "I could always take you both on, so come on, show me how much more weaker you both have gotten" I nearly shouted my voice harsh and cold.

Michelle was looking toward me and then looked away closing her left eye as I saw she didn't want to fight me. Erza moved behind me as I turned my head to see her blocking Christen easier than she was able to block Michelle. "Michelle is my cousin, please let me deal with her" I spoke as Erza nodded attacking Christen as I moved toward Michelle who opened her eye looking toward me. "Big Sister please don't make us do it this way, Queen Mavis will end up being kill along with that city" Michelle spoke.

"Heartfilla Weapon lesson three, never listen to the enemy" I spoke as I heard the roar of Ophiuchus echo around as Michelle had a worried look. "Big Sister stop this! You will get taken over by Ophiuchus" Michelle nearly shouted as I aimed the sword in my left hand toward her. "To protect my Queen, to protect my new home, I am willing to fight this curse once more" I replied as Michelle was in shock as I saw in the corner of my eye two unknown monsters carrying a knocked out Luke off.

"LUKE!" I shouted loudly worried as Michelle sighed. "He is alive Big Sister, he gave all his power bringing the Queen back from the dead but that shield can never raise back up until you come with us" Michelle soon informed me as I was able to sense high level monsters and creatures about to join the fight. My grip on my swords tightened. "You promise to spare this city and the welders?" I asked taking a deep breath as Michelle nodded. I made the swords vanished as well they was more like daggers, you couldn't fully sword fight with them.

The Star Dress vanished as I moved my arms together and lifted them up slightly as Michelle made her sword go into the shield on her left arm. She had magic chains show up on my wrists as she looked toward the city as the shield was going back up. "Lucy!" I heard Erza sounding worried as I turned my head smiling toward her. "Zodiacs, stay with her" I whispered as the pouch flew off my belt and into Erza pushing her into the city as Michelle grabbed my arm as Christen moved to stand in front of me.

"We are to throw her in with Eclair, the final spell will be finished at last" Christen was looking toward Michelle as hope was rising inside of me. Eclair didn't turn. With her I would be able to break out. "Hai" Michelle spoke as a seal showed up under us as I turned my head toward the city seeing Natsu, Gray, Erza and hurt Mavis at the shield watching with widen eyes. I gave them all my normal smile. "Let us end this fight for once and for all, the final spell you mean final battle" I only spoke shocking the two with me as we started to sink into the seal.

"You can't fight in those chains" Christen spoke as I heard the roar of Ophiuchus once more. I only smirked toward them as I saw my skin going pale. "For now" I replied as everything went black from that point onward. I was letting Ophiuchus's power flow through me. I didn't need Zodiacs to use her magic or power. I needed Zodiacs to control her. Ophiuchus would follow me until freed from my control to go on a rampage. I was giving her just that. I made Zodiacs stay behind to lead the others to me, to be one with Ophiuchus and to fight.

I failed before to kill Acnologia but this time, I wasn't backing down. I wasn't going to hide in the corner or get trapped. I was going to kill them all. My friends were gone. They died 555 years ago. All what was left was monsters inside of their bodies...
