After hearing about a potential past conflict between Grammi, the caretaker of her key and Brandish’s mother, and Layla, who allegedly murdered Grammi to get her key back, Aquarius reappears (of her own accord) from a spilled vase of water, saving Lucy from the wrath of Brandish of the Spriggan 12 after hearing about a potential past conflict between Grammi, the caretaker of her key and Brandish’s mother, and Layla, who
Aquarius then excitedly embraces Lucy, explaining that another Water Bearer key has appeared somewhere in the earth, and that the Celestial Spirit King momentarily opened her gate, allowing her to save her. After clarifying to Lucy that Grammi did indeed have her key, she turns to Brandish, and Aquarius reunites with her in a funny manner. Aquarius then tells Brandish that Lucy should not be punished for Layla’s transgressions, and that Layla never killed Grammi; she then transports the two to Star Memory, a vital repository of all Celestial Spirits’ memories. Inside, she reveals the scheme between Zeref and Lucy’s ancestor, Anna Heartfilia, to send five warriors into the future to defeat Acnologia. She goes on to say that Layla opened the Eclipse Gate four hundred years later to make sure it was working correctly, and that if an entry and exit aren’t taken care of, the Grand Magic Games scenario could happen. Layla couldn’t contact Grammi, who possessed her key, and so couldn’t gather all twelve Zodiac Keys to open Eclipse, so she augmented her key with her life force, according to Aquarius. After witnessing Grammi reconcile with Layla and return her key, the girls all witness Zoldeo murdering Grammi. Aquarius tries to tell Lucy one last vital thing as Lucy consoles a distressed Brandish, but Happy comes through the home door, screaming for help for Natsu, who has suddenly stopped moving.
Cana and Porlyusica then visit the infirmary, and Aquarius deflects Cana’s question about why she is there. Porlyusica then diagnoses Natsu with a malignant Anti-Ethernano Tumor that will kill him if not removed quickly, commenting that no surgeon in Ishgar can remove it, and Wendy and Sherria can’t do anything about it either. When Brandish offers to use her Magic to lessen the tumor for them, Aquarius grins at the young woman. Aquarius arrives to retrieve Lucy after Brandish is returned to her cell, but she tells Brandish that she hopes their paths meet again; when she doesn’t get an answer, she yells at her and gets the response she wants. After that, she and Lucy go to a balcony, where Aquarius tells Lucy that her key might be on any of the world’s continents, but she won’t tell her where it is. Aquarius tells Lucy before she vanishes that she is looking forward to the day when she discovers her key.

Is Lucy going to get all of the zodiac keys?
Lucy has ten of the twelve golden keys, each of which is based on a zodiac sign. Although powerful, each zodiac has its own unique personality peculiarities that we can’t help but admire. Please write for us!
Is the Aquarius Key lost for good?
The key is shown in the Manga as a regular golden key with the Water Bearer’s crest, two parallel waves, stamped on its bow. The key is still represented as gold in the anime, but it is more delicately constructed. The bow is shaped like an upside-down urn and has two handles on either side. The Water Bearer’s crest is stamped in blue on the white center of the bow, with a heart on the base. The key’s blade is shaped like a mermaid’s tail, with “fins” emerging from either side of the bow’s base, and four more at the tip curving towards the center.
Though most spirits are summoned in water, there may be exceptions in extremely unusual instances, like as when Lucy summoned all of her spirits at once, or when all twelve Gold Key spirits were summoned to close the Eclipse Gate.
At Aquarius’ request, the key was destroyed so Lucy could defeat Tartaros and save her allies from Alegria by summoning the Celestial Spirit King.
The Water Bearer Key has been reforged, according to Aquarius, a year after Lucy shattered it to call the King. It currently resides somewhere in the world.
Is Lucy going to acquire the 13th key?
Celestial Spirits (Seirei) are magical beings from the Celestial Spirit World, which exists in its own cosmos. Some Mages, known as Celestial Spirit Mages because of their speciality in Celestial Spirit Magic, can summon Spirits by using Celestial Spirit Gate Keys to open their Gates. These Keys are divided into two categories: Silver Keys, which are more common, and Gold Keys, which are exceptionally rare. Celestial Spirit Keys are measured in Units (instead of Gold or Silver), and a Celestial Spirit Mage is identified by the number of Units they have collected. Each of the Celestial Spirits is named after an astronomical constellation. Lucy Heartfilia owns ten of the twelve Gold Keys, while Yukino Agria, who also owns the key to the Zodiac’s “13th Gate,” owns the remaining two.
