Lucy awoke on her 31st morning of her 60 day training camp already a new wizard. Oozing magic power from every pore. Today she was going to begin individual training testing the limits of her magic power seeing how long she can maintain her spirits and how many she can maintain.
'Open, gates of the Little Dog! Southern Cross! And Clock! Canis Minor! Crux! And Horologium!' Lucy Chanted powerfully. Before her a shining silver light appeared and stood the three friends she just summoned. Despite the tremendous magic power required for this she felt no weaker although that would probably be a different story if she would be summoning her Zodiac keys.
'My, my Lucy it is clear to see that you have improved with leaps and bounds over the last 30 days. But why have you called us forth surly a greater test of your magic would be to summon the Zodiac?' Horologium said in a calm manor.
'Well usually I would but I wanted to just ease into this and not risk passing out,' Lucy explained her intensions. 'Now lets summon another one. Open gate of the Lyre! Lyra!' In a silver flash of light the songstress appeared before Lucy. Barely feeling a tug on her magic power she decided to open another gate. 'Open gate of the Compass! Pyxis!' Right as the silver shine of her friend appearing came forth Lucy felt an instantaneous drain on her magic power She collapsed but didn't pass out. A thrilling rush of achieving something that has never been recorded in history made Lucy stand. And stand she did, she stood proud the initial tug of magic she felt draining from her body was gone. They all just stood there in awe, no one moving, no one talking. They where standing there for a good five minutes before Lucy said anything.
'Crux, has there ever been any Celestial Wizard, in the history of time who is capable of summoning five celestial spirits at once?' Lucy asked already sure of the answer she would receive.
'I do not even need to do a search for that my dear. I can tell with certainty there has never been a Celestial Wizard who has summoned 5 spirits at once of any degree,' Crux said in his rough voice reassuring Lucy's thought and ego.
'I have one more question. Do you think I would be able to summon 5 Zodiac spirits at the same time?' Lucy asked desperate to know the answer.
'That is something I cannot tell you with certainty. But I would imagine you would bee able to summon five Zodiac sprits for a minimal time. As for how long I have know I dear.' Replied Crux.
Lucy sent her spirits back to the celestial world and began to recollect her magic power before summoning her Zodiac spirits. After a couple of minutes she felt back to full strength and summoned more spirits.
'Open gates of the Sea Goat! And Lion! Capricorn! And Leo!' Before Lucy was a flash of golden light and stood before her were her friends that she has been training with for the past 30 days. They both stood confused as to why she had summoned them both at the same time. She explained her reason for summoning them both. She had thought that they would like to see the improvements she has made over her training time.
'Open gate of the Maiden! Virgo!' Lucy called for her Masochistic spirit. Loke stood massively impressed that she was able to summon three Zodiac spirits without any physical change. He stood for a moment analysing his wizard and the vast improvements she has made over the corse of a few weeks. Her physical appearance had changed you can see the mussels she has build and you can practically smell the magic power comping from her. Capricorn began to freakout when Lucy reached for another Zodiac key not believing that she was ready to summon four spirits at once.
'Open gate of the Ram! Aires!' And in a puff of pink wool and gold light appeared Loke's old friend.
'Um I'm sorry did you summon me,' Aries said not noticing her fellow spirits until a moment later. 'Ahh Lucy what are you doing you shouldn't be summoning three zodiac spirits at the same time never the less four,' Aries said in a panicked manner of not knowing what to do. Lucy was slightly hunched over breathing heavily trying to stabilise herself while realising so much magic power.
'Ok Lucy I think its time you closed one of our gates before you kill your self,' Loke said worried for his wizard.
'No!' Lucy said more determined than ever before. More determined than when she summoned Aquarius during the Tartarus incident. 'I am capable of summoning… Ahh… five silver spirits at once… I am determined to see how long I can… sustain four Zodiac spirits.' Determined to not let any of her spirits leave until she is drained of power she stood there staring at them stronger than she had ever felt in her life. An hour had passed and there was no sign of her running out of magic power soon so she decided to strike up a conversation with her spirits.
'You know I could probably sustain you longer in one of my Star Dress forms. Summon out Gemini have them transform into me. Have gemini summon the rest of my Zodiac.'
'But why would you do that Lucy?' Loke asked.
'To prove that I'm not weak, to prove that I'm strong.' Lucy said pulling out Gemini's key. Loke on Virgo had to jump on her to stop Lucy from summoning the Twins but they were unsuccessful as with her gift from the King she can summon her spirits without their key.
In a brilliant gold light to blue floating spirits appeared before them. Lucy was nearly on the floor but there was no sign of her running out of magic power anytime soon.
'Gemini I want you to transform into me and bring out Sagittarius, Scorpio, Cancer and Torus,' Lucy commanded.
'Piri piri,' Gemini said as they turned into Lucy. 'Open gates of the Crab! Golden Bull! Scorpion! And Archer! Cancer! Taurus! Scorpio! And Sagittarius!' The new blonde said. In a magnificent gold light Lucy's friends appeared before everyone.
'Over the next 29 days I'm going to be training with each of you individually and together to create newer and better ways to fight with you. To improve the way we can use your abilities.' Just as Lucy finished her sentence she ran out of magic power sending all her spirits back to the Celestial Spirit world. Loke came back with his own magic power to check on Lucy and to put her to sleep. The blonde slept peacefully regaining the magic she had used. Loke just stood over the top of Lucy amazed that she can bring out all her zodiac spirits amazed the way she used Gemini's ability. Not only was Lucy getting stronger she was getting smarter.
