"Now that Nirvana has been found, you need to deal with it as soon as possible." Angel Ann looked at everyone with a mischievous smile.
"Sagittarius, hurry up and move!"
After receiving the order, the fake Lucy turned and sternly urged the Sagittarius Star Spirit.
"Sorry, Lucy, I don't want to do such a thing, my body, my body isn't listening!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
After Sagittarius finished speaking, several arrows immediately attacked Lucy and the others. Lucy and the others quickly dodged, and Carla took Wendy and flew quickly into the sky.
"Bang, bang, bang~" The sound of arrows exploding.
"Lucy, isn't this your Star Spirit? Why can this fake one control it?"
Natsu also loudly asked Lucy while dodging, sometimes even blocking several arrows for Lucy.
"This is Gemini, one of the Twelve Golden Zodiacs. When it transforms into another person, it can fully use that person's magic."
"Ah~" An arrow hit Hibiki.
He had already fought Laser there, and his magic power was almost depleted. Under such dense attacks, he was caught off guard and hit in the shoulder.
"Hibiki! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, you guys be careful!" Hibiki hid behind a big tree.
"In that case, I'll just have to knock you down!"
Natsu's flames surged, and he accelerated towards Ann. It was the so-called catching the leader first, and he didn't bother with the Sagittarius and Gemini beside him.
But Ann stood still and didn't dodge, just smiled faintly at Natsu, but shouted: "Sagittarius, block him!"
"What?"
Natsu was startled when he saw Sagittarius suddenly appear in front of Ann. He wanted to withdraw his punch, but it was too late, and he punched Sagittarius away.
Before Sagittarius slowly disappeared, he said to the real Lucy: "Lucy, I will definitely help next time, hey, hey."
"Ice Make - Gungnir." Several ice spears directly attacked Natsu while he was still in a daze, sending him flying far away.
"Natsu!"
"Sagittarius~" Lucy shouted loudly as she watched the scene before her, but it was no use; she couldn't do anything at this moment.
"Haha, it seems the Fire Dragon of Fairy Tail isn't much after all!" Ann mocked Natsu, who was still lying on the ground.
"Damn it, I was careless. I definitely won't be this time!" Natsu flipped over and was about to charge at Ann for the next attack when a voice stopped Natsu's movement.
"Natsu, leave this woman to me! I'm also a Star Spirit Mage. I'll deal with her one-on-one." Lucy's face was unusually calm at this moment, as if she had made some kind of decision, and her eyes were unusually firm.
"Lucy~" Natsu looked at Lucy like this and was also stunned, muttering.
Then he burst into laughter and said, "I'll leave it to you, Lucy, I believe you can do it."
"Oh, good eyes, but I want all your keys. Let's make a bet, whoever wins gets all the other's keys!"
"I won't let you have your way!"
The two looked at each other silently from opposite sides of a river. Carla took the unconscious Wendy and hid beside Hibiki. Natsu, on the other hand, stared at Lucy, as if acting as a bodyguard, guarding Lucy.
Ann saw the look in Lucy's eyes and then looked at Natsu behind Lucy, and an unknown emotion surged in her heart.
Lucy also thought of something when she saw the river water and was sure that she would win, because she had the strongest Star Spirit here.
"Open, Gate of Aquarius - Aquarius."
Ann was not at all flustered when she saw Aquarius appear: "Gemini, close the gate."
She casually took out another key.
"Get rid of her, even if it means including me!"
"Hmph, from the beginning, that's what I planned, you don't need to tell me, you stinky girl!" Aquarius said haughtily, her bottle in hand carrying a surging current, wanting to wash everything away.
"Open, Gate of Scorpio - Scorpio."
Just as Aquarius was about to erupt, looking fiercely at Ann, Scorpio of Scorpio appeared in a handsome pose.
Aquarius immediately put away her fierce expression and nestled softly against Scorpio's chest: "Scorpio, dear."
"What!" Lucy immediately gasped in shock.
"Are you alright, Aquarius? Long time no see!"
"Yes, dear, I'm so lonely!"
Aquarius and Scorpio, regardless of whether others were present, showed affection in the middle of the river.
Lucy also suddenly reacted: "Could it be that he is your boyfriend?"
"Nice to meet you, holder of Aquarius!"
"Speaking of which, Aquarius's personality…" Lucy looked at the cool rapper boy in front of her and couldn't help but murmur, associating him with Aquarius's fiery temper. But before she could finish, an angry face stretched out in front of Lucy: "If you dare say another word, it won't just be a matter of not being able to fight, understand?! Ah!"
"Yes!"
"Aquarius, I know a restaurant where we can see the Northern Lights. Let's go eat!"
"Okay, dear, whatever you say."
The two Star Spirits, exceptionally loving, ignored Lucy's bitter pleas from behind and disappeared with the rippling water.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Leo!" Lucy touched the key at her waist, suddenly thinking of something.
"Open, Gate of Leo - Leo."
"It's the prince's turn to appear, don't worry, Lucy, it's my turn to protect you!"
After Ann clearly saw the Star Spirit Lucy summoned, she smiled coldly and said, "It seems you still don't understand the relationship between Star Spirits!" As she spoke, she swapped another golden key in her hand and twisted it slightly: "Open, Gate of Aries - Aries."
"What!" Leo's confident expression immediately froze.
"I'm sorry, Leo!"
"Karen's Star Spirit - Aries? Why is she here?" Lucy also stared blankly at the scene before her.
Hibiki, on the side, also stared blankly at the scene: "Karen!"
"Haha, of course, I'm the one who dealt with Karen. That woman actually wanted to court death by forcibly opening two gates! It's only right that I dealt with her."
When Hibiki heard this, the dark side within him suddenly increased greatly. He immediately reacted and forcibly suppressed it, but he still couldn't stop the pain in his heart: "She actually killed my girlfriend, Karen…"
For a moment, good and dark thoughts surged and confronted each other in his mind. Natsu, Happy, and Carla on the side had been focusing on the battle in the river and didn't notice Hibiki's abnormality in time.
