Full Summary
Lucy is worried about Natsu and Coco but thinks that her keys are being targeted by Byro so she summons Taurus who comments on her looks as usual. Taurus charges at Byro, but Byro easily defeated him with his Flame Liquid. Byro then attacks Lucy with his Storm Liquid. Lucy summons Virgo who punches and uses her Spica Hole to attack Byro. Coco is impressed with Lucy and is fighting with herself about giving the dragon key to Lucy.

Byro suddenly emerges as a deformed giant octopus and captures Coco. Lucy tells Virgo to do something, but Virgo thinks that there is nothing she can do but Lucy tells her to try before giving up. Byro, even though he has already captured Coco, doesn't leave and continues to attack Lucy. Virgo then throws a whip to Lucy. It is the extending whip Fleuve d'étoiles that came from the Celestial Spirit World. Lucy tries to use it but fails and was hit again by Byron who comments on her using Celestial Spirit Magic.

Lucy realizes that Virgo knew that she has depleted her magic energy because of summoning Zodiac Spirits continuously and that was the reason that she gave her the whip. Thanking Virgo, and treasuring the concern of her Spirits, Lucy manages to control the whip and tie up Byro's tentacles, immobilizing him. Natsu then arrives by punching Hughes through a wall and ended up defeating Byro as well.

Coco is impressed with Natsu and Lucy and gave them the key, explaining what it was and saying that she cares more for her friends than magic. Just as Lucy and Natsu was about to take the key, Sugarboy, gliding on the floor, arrives and took the key. Gray is then seen following him on a motorcycle...
