Natsu ran up to Lucy, his blue exceed Happy flying right beside him. "Luce, Luccceee, Hey Luce!" Natsu exclaimed jumping up and down trying to get the celestial spirit mage's attention.
Lucy looked up from her book, "What?!" she asked.
"I found a job," he said holding up a flier. The flier was on shiny gold paper and read, there has been a strange large flying beast attacking the small town of Mysheria. The town requests a few capable mages help them stop this beast. For S-Class, reward 6,000,000 jewels and Mars Celestial key.
Lucy finished reading the flier and turned to Natsu, "This is an S-Class job" she said crossing her arms.
"Erza agreed to take us; also it may be a dragon! It says large flying,beast," he said excitedly.
Lucy thought for a minute, there is a celestial spirit key in the reward… "Sure," Lucy said standing up. Taking out her set of keys she twirled them in her hand.

"Here, you have my keys, I know you didn't take them before, but I insist this time." Yukino said holding out her celestial spirit keys.
Lucy gingerly picked them up, "thank you so much," she said hugging Yukino. Taking out her ring of keys she added them to her others. All of a sudden a bright light encircled her ring of keys. "What is happening?" she asked surprised.
Yukino smiled, "since you already have the 10 other zodiac keys, you are going to find out what happens with all 12," she explained.
Lucy felt the keys burn her hands, squealing she dropped them on the ground. One by one, each celestial spirit came out of the keys.
Virgo, Leo, Libra, and so on. Lucy felt no magical energy drain from so many spirits out at once. Lucy watched amazed as the celestial spirit king appeared, "Lucy Heartafilia, you have found all 12 zodiac keys, unlocking the lost key, Draco the Dragon," he said.
A small gold key appeared in Lucy's hand. The end had an image of a red dragon. "Th- thanks" Lucy said stammering.
The king disappeared, and all of the spirits went back to the Celestial World. Lucy picked her keys up, and added the new key to the rest.

Snapping out of her flashback, Lucy said, "Let me go pack," walking out of the guild.
"We'll come with," Natsu said jumping up and catching Happy's feet. Together they flew out of the guild in front of Lucy.

"Has the dragon slayer found the flier?" asked a mysterious hooded figure.
"Yes sir," said Mirajane.
The hooded figure grabbed a small statue of a dragon from the table next to him, and started throwing it up and catching it, "make sure they believe you," he said.
"Of course," she said smirking before her appearance morphed into an old man.
