Lucy was still unconscious when Zoro, Wyper, and Gan Fall woke up. Zoro looked at Lucy. Even while she was unconscious, her brows were creased with worry. Nami told them that they needed to get to the Going Merry before getting on her waver to get Luffy. While she was doing that, Zoro watched Lucy, thinking about her.

'She got in the way of Enel's lightning to protect me, then she stood up again! 2 hits . . . she took two hits from that guy's lightning before going down . . . the rest of us only took one hit. Just how strong is she? And how strong are her friends if she thinks that she's weak?' he thought to himself.

He was pulled from his thoughts of questioning just how strong Lucy was when Wyper began retelling a story he'd been told about Montblanc Norland when he'd come to the island of Jaya. Up on the beanstalk, Zoro could see that Nami had caught up with Luffy. The three men at the base of the beanstalk watched in horror as a mass of lightning formed and struck down on Angel Island, completely destroying it. Thankfully, Conis had warned them in time and everyone had managed evacuate the island before the attack hit.

Then an even larger mass of lightning began forming.

Ever been electrocuted and knocked unconscious, then electrocuted two more times after being swallowed by, and escaping, a snake before falling unconscious again? Then you wake up to see a giant mass of lightning forming above your head! Lucy was getting really sick and tired of lightning, so much so that she might punch Laxus the next time she saw him . . . she probably wouldn't, but she could still do it mentally.

Nami sent down some orders to start cutting down the beanstalk on a specific side so that it would fall on Enel. Zoro, taking it as his cue, and began to hack at the beanstalk with his swords, but he wasn't making much progress. Upon hearing the Luffy wanted to ring the bell, just as the Shandian's did, Wyper used his reject dial once again, knocking over the beanstalk before falling unconscious again. Up on the beanstalk, Nami was using her waver to help Luffy get up to Enel. From the looks of it, he needed all the help he could get, given the giant ball of gold attached to his hand.

Or at least Nami was using her waver to help Luffy get up the beanstalk until he pushed her off onto some clouds, continuing on up the beanstalk on his own . . . though not very well. The waver veered off course and sent him flying into the mass of lightning. It seemed to swirl around him as it was attracted to the large golden ball attached to his arm as he swung it around, eventually breaking apart the mass of lighting before disappearing from sight on the top cloud.

Everyone kept their eyes to the sky even though they couldn't see anything. After a some amount of minutes passed, the sound of a beautiful, clear bell rang throughout the entire sky and even down to the sea below. The saw the shadow of Luffy's victorious pose on the clouds and they all smiled. The Straw Hats didn't realize it at the time, but the bell also meant that the war between the Shandians and the Skypieans was over.

That night, all the warriors and even the snake had been patched up, all of them apparently much more peaceful now that the bell had been rung. The Shandians and Skypieans were all celebrating along with the Straw Hats. Lucy was laughing and joining in the celebrations, though she wondered how all her injured comrades could manage to be so boisterous so soon after a battle, though she supposed she came from a group of people that partied as long as there was an unbroken bone in their body. They partied to the point of exhaustion and passed out on the ground. On a side note, Usopp had traded some rubber bands for dials.

The next morning, the Skypieans, Shandians, and Robin where gone, and the Straw hats took this as an opportunity to explore the ruins and grab the treasures that were inside the snake. Lucy was exactly keen on going back inside the snake, but everyone else was going inside and Lucy didn't want to be all by herself next to the sleeping snake, not when she could be with her friends.

It was a good thing she had come with though, because while she was helping the others fill up bags with various gold treasures, Zoro had found some sort of box. His eyebrows shot up when he saw the contents. The contents were somewhat familiar as well.

"Hey Lucy! Come over here!" he shouted over to her.

Sighing, Lucy came over to him. She put her hands on her hips as she scolded him lightly. "You could have asked a bit more nicely you know."

"Damn you Marimo! Are you being rude to Lucy-swan you bastard?!"Sanji piped up.

"Shut you up you shitty cook! I'm trying to show her something, moron!" Zoro shouted.

Sanji came over. "What did you say to me, you damned Marimo!?" he growled.

Zoro got in his face. "You heard me, you pervert cook!"

Annoyed, Lucy hit them both on their heads, leaving decent sized welts. Perhaps Erza had rubbed off on her a little, but either way, it was far too early in the morning to listen to those two bone heads arguing. "Now, what did you want to show me Zoro?" Lucy asked him, ignoring Sanji as he talked about how sexy she was even when she was angry.

Grumbling, Zoro showed her the contents of the box. "Can you use these?" he asked.

Lucy gasped, looking like a kid who had just received more candy than they knew what to do with. "Oh my god! These were thought to be lost forever!" she exclaimed, taking the box.

"I'm guessing that's yes the-!" Zoro cut off as he was briefly hugged by an enthusiastic Lucy. A hint of red showed on his cheeks.

Sanji didn't seem to like that and started raging at Zoro, getting into another argument with the green haired swordsman, but Lucy was so happy with the contents of the chest, she didn't care. When they came out of the still sleeping snake, carrying variously sized sacks of gold and Lucy carrying the box Zoro found. Then things went back to chaotic when they thought they saw the Shandians and Skypieans pushing a giant cannon towards them and they all ran, thinking they were mad for stealing the gold. Robin followed them with that knowing smile of hers.

It wasn't until later that Lucy questioned whether they'd actually had a cannon or not. They all boarded the Going Merry, and Conis and Pagaya lead them to Cloud End, which would take them to the Blue Sea. Lucy took this time to take a look at the contents of the box Zoro had found. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the seven, polished obsidian keys. In her world, these keys had mysteriously disappeared a long, long time ago. How they had shown up here was anyone's guess. Next to nothing was known about these keys as they were lost long ago, but Lucy wasn't going to let that stop her.

Taking the first key, the chant automatically came to her. "Open, Gate of the Eagle! I summon thee, Aquila!" she called.

There was a flash of golden light in the shape of a bird with its wings spread accompanied by the cry of an eagle. When it faded there was a man standing in front of her. Conis and her father were shocked, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were absolutely amazed with her magic, Robin, Zoro, and Nami were still a little impressed by her magic, and Sanji was gushing over Lucy's abilities because that was just what he did.

The spirit Lucy had summoned, Aquila, was dark skinned and stood at around six foot two. His body was leanly built but his body was toned. He looked to be around 20, maybe 25 years old. Aquila's face was wind beaten. He had sharp, golden eyes and he had the beak of a bird of prey in place of a nose and mouth, his face was all sharp angles. His hair was snow white and was slicked back against his head, bits of hair sticking up here and there, almost making it look like he had a head of feathers.

For his clothes we was wearing a dark brown leather aviator jacket over a light brown t-shirt and brown leather pants fastened with a black leather belt. Wrapped around his neck was a white scarf and his pants were tucked into black combat boots. Resting on the top of his head, held on by an elastic strap, were bronze framed goggles. The way he stood was straight as an arrow and he had dark brown wings sprouting from his back.

Aquila saluted Lucy. "Aquila, reporting for duty." he said. "So you're my new key bearer. It's been awhile since anyone's possessed my key. You are Lucy Heartfilia, is that correct?" The way he spoke was sharp and direct.

"I . . . yes." said Lucy. "But how did you know who I am."

Aquila's answer was immediate. "You are famous in the Celestial Realm, your love and kindness for your spirits can be felt by every spirit. There's hardly a spirit that hasn't heard of you, and let me just say, I would be honored to serve you in battle."

Lucy felt really happy, and an a bit embarrassed. Was she really that famous among the spirits in the Celestial Realm? "Well then, would you like to make a contract with me?" Lucy asked Aquila.

"It would be an honor ma'am." Aquila responded.

After forming a contract with the eagle spirit, Lucy dismissed him. The obsidian gatekeys were rumored to be just as strong as the celestial keys, if not stronger. Lucy could believe that, judging by the amount of magic it had taken to summon them, which was almost equivalent to what a golden gatekey took. She might not be able to summon all of them in one sitting to form a contract. Still, she grabbed the next key from the box.

Once again, the chant came naturally to her. "Open, Gate of the Hare! I summon thee, Lepus!"

There was flash of golden light and it faded to reveal a twitching and shaking girl who looked around 8 or 9. She had silky soft white hair that stop a couple inches from her shoulders and is braided on either side of her head in the front. Sticking out the top of her head she had long white bunny ears. Her eyes were red and wide in a way that always made her look scared. She was wearing a pink, frilly dress that has lots of bows and ribbons with matching knee socks and flats. The skirt of her dress went to just below her knees.

Lepus fidgeted nervously. "H-h-h-h-hello Lu-Lucy-sa-sama." she said with a horrible stutter.

It took a long time to make a contract with Lepus, she had such a bad stutter, which Lucy soon found out was just part of her personality, and it had nothing to do with her. Lepus was just naturally shy and nervous. Since Lepus's gate had been open for a while, Lucy was starting to feel a bit drained. She grabbed the next key.

"Open, Gate of the Wolf! I summon thee, Lupus!" she called out.

Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp waited excitedly, eager for each and every spirit that she summoned. There was a silver light in the shape of a wolf. It howled before turning into a man. Lupus was a little taller than Aquila, standing at about six foot four. He was muscular in the way someone who works construction might be and he looked like he was in his late thirties. He had a grey beard and mustache as well as thick sideburns that stretched all the way to his chin. His dark blue eyes were stern and narrow, and his shaggy grey hair went almost to his shoulders. Where his ears should have been, grey wolf ears were sticking out from his head. He had wrinkles on his face that suggested was always frowning.

His posture was informal, shoulders slack and chin lowered, making him look pretty thuggish. The scowl did help any. His scowling lips revealed sharp, wolf-like canines. He wore a white button up shirt with a grey undershirt that could be seen through the opened front of the shirt. To complete his look he wore black leather pants over boots of the same material.

"What do you want brat?" he asked rudely.

Lucy wasn't even surprised. She'd been in Fairy Tail and had seen all types of people, not to mention how strange and varied her own spirits were. She welcomed and loved all her spirits and was always willing to forgive them for their oddities.

"I'm Lucy Heartfilia, and I'd like to ask if you'd like to make a contract with me." she asked, smiling happily as she ignored Sanji, who was ranting and raving at the spirit who dared be so rude to his Lucy-swan.

Lupus hummed thoughtfully, thought it sounded oddly like growl. "Sure, do whatever you want."

By the time finished with making a contract with Lupus, she was feeling considerably more tired, mainly because he kept giving her unspecific answers. So by the time she'd finished making the contract and dismissed the spirit, she was exhausted from summoning three of the seven spirits, and keeping their gates open to make the contracts, two of which took far longer than they should have. Lucy put the gatekeys for her newly contacted spirits on her key ring, leaving the other four keys in the box for later summoning and contracting.

She picked up the box and told the crew that she was going to take a nap. With that, she went into the room she, Nami, and Robin shared, putting the box with her small collection of personal effects, each girl had their own little designated area for their belongings, and went to sleep in her bed. Not long after she did this, the Going Merry reached Cloud End and then, with only a balloon octopus to save them, the ship plummeted down to the Blue Sea.

Hope you enjoyed and please leave a review!

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Oh my god Zombie, 2 updates within a week?!" Yes, yes, I know, but I found myself with a lot of spare time so I've been working hard on this story. Also, during my long intermission, I had been slowly but surely developing these new keys for Lucy, so I had their descriptions on hand while writing this.

Speaking of which, if anyone wants to use these Celestial Spirits for any reason, PM me and I'll send you what I got written down for them! :)

Also, I apologize for any typos I missed in proofreading, but I'm kind of tired as I should have gone to bed hours ago but I really wanted to finish this chapter for you guys. So I hope you guys like the chapter! :)
