Ankhselam and his forces from the west continued moving at a steady pace. As they kept moving, Apaki was informing Aelita about something important. Once Aelita got it, she went over to Travis and Ankhselam.

"Lord Ankhselam, I've just been informed that Airin has already fallen." Aelita said.

"Say what?" Travis said as he was surprised by that news. "One of The Ten has actually been killed? That's surprising."

"Killed? No." Ankhselam said. "Fairy Tail doesn't have it in them to actually kill their enemies. If he's been defeated in battle, it's most likely he's been taken prisoner. That will be one of their weaknesses."

"Still, it's surprising to hear that one of us has actually been defeated." Travis said.

"One might have been beaten, but there are still nine more, including the two of you." Ankhselam said. Ankhselam doesn't see it as a set back. He sees it as a way to make this more interesting. "Well, Fairy Tail, I'm glad to see you're keeping this interesting. I can only wonder what you might try next."

Hargeon

Fairy Tail has arrived to take part in the southern battles. With aid from Blue Pegasus and Mermaid Heel, they'll do what they can to bring the enemy down. The one taking charge in one of the battles is Damien as he fights against Kisaru, but it turns out that Kisaru uses God Soul, one of the most power forms of take over magic. This will be Damien's chance to show how far he's really come.

"Do you really think you can beat me?" Kisaru said. "I have inhabited Poseidon's power over the seas. You can't defeat me as easily as you think."

"Damien, are you sure you want to fight alone?" Bella questioned. "His magic is incredible powerful. It already doesn't look good."

"You're doubting me already." Damien said as he turned his head to her. "I thought you loved me. Shouldn't you have faith in the man you love?" Bella never heard Damien talk about her feelings like that. He usually just blows her off. So she took his advice and put his faith in him. 'I know how powerful he is.' He thought as he looked back at Kisaru. 'Still, something doesn't seem right to me. How can he only be ranked nine if he has that kind of power? It doesn't make sense to me.'

"How sweet, but sweetness isn't going to get you anywhere." Kisaru said as he held out his trident. "This is where you die!" He shot water from his trident like a bullet, but Damien jumped out of the way and avoided the attack. Kisaru controlled the water at the harbor and caused it to rise for it to strike him.

"You're not the only one with surprises up his sleeve!" Damien said as he held out his hand.

"Too late!" Kisaru said as he had the water strike down on Damien. Bella was worried Damien might be hurt from all that water, but there was a flash of purple light. "What the hell?"

"Damien?" Bella questioned.

"What is this?" Kisaru questioned as there was something different going on. Damien was surrounded by a dark aura and it didn't look friendly.

"I told you that you aren't the only one with surprises." Damien said, but he sounded different. He took on a new demon form. He had demon wings with a small set of insect wings underneath. His white hair became longer with it in spikes. He wore midnight black armor with openings to show purple spandex-like clothing underneath. He also had dark circles around his eyes. "Take Over: Beelzebub."

"What is that form?" Kisaru said as he and Bella couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"I've been in training for a long time and I soon came across this new form. It's quite powerful." Damien said. "You should be honored. You're actually the first person I get to use this on."

"Honored? Me? A god like me should be honored to face something like that? Don't be ridiculous!" Kisaru said. He went to attack him with the trident, but Damien formed a giant purple fireball and launched it right at him. "Fire can't stop me!" He launched water at the fireball, but it didn't go out. Kisaru didn't expect that and got blasted by it. "What the hell just happened?!"

"That was a flame from the underworld. Those kinds of flames don't go out so easily." Damien said. He unfolded his demon wings and flew at Kisaru. He tried to strike him, but Kisaru countered with his trident and caused the two powers to collide and they were both blown back from it.

"Damien, you okay?" Bella asked.

"I'm fine." Damien said. 'I just can't shake the thought that there's something more going on than what meets the eye. I need to think of everything I learned of this magic. There must be something I'm missing.' He thought and tried to think of anything that could help things make sense.

...

Flashback

"Okay. Watch closely, Damien." Elfman said. Damien was a kid and was still learning some magic. He watched his uncle as his right arm turned into a lizard-like claw.

"Wow! That's so cool!" Damien said.

"Yeah it is. That's because a real man did it." Elfman said.

"Your Uncle Elfman had some trouble for a while and could only use it around his right arm." Mirajane said. "That's perfectly fine because this is only a partial take over."

"A partial take over?" Damien questioned.

"That's right." Elfman said. "For a while, I could only use my magic around my right arm and I couldn't get my full body. That's just fine with me. When you're a real man, you work with what you got."

"But it's important to keep in mind that a partial take over isn't as strong as a full body take over." Mirajane said. "It might be harder to use, but they are stronger."

"Can only Uncle Elfman use take over magic like that or are there others?" Damien asked.

"Yes. You can't do a full body take over as a beginner." Mirajane said. "It can be difficult to use your full body, but sometimes a partial take over is enough."

End of Flashback

...

"That's it!" Damien said as he realized something. "I figure out the weakness to your magic!"

"The weakness?" Bella said as both of them were confused.

"It didn't seem right to me at the time." Damien said. "You can use God Soul, but you're only ranked nine among The Ten. I just didn't see how that could be, but I think I figured out the truth." Kisaru appeared to be getting nervous as he swallowed his own saliva. "It's only a partial take over! You're not able to do a full body take over, are you?"

"Only a partial take over?" Bella said. Kisaru didn't like this at all and Damien could see that.

"It looks like I'm right." Damien said. "Since you're not able to do a full body take over, you can't use the full power that you can with that magic."

"It doesn't matter if it's a partial take over or not!" Kisaru said. "It's still powerful enough to bring you down! It's more than enough to defeat you!" Kisaru went to attack him again, but Damien flew in the air. Damien came down and tried to strike him, but Kisaru used the trident and blocked the attack. "Now that you know my secret, I can't allow you to live!" He pushed Damien aside and was changing forms.

"Now what?!" Damien said. Kisaru changed forms once more. Now, he wore a white toga with sandals. He also was given a scepter with a lightning bolt on it and actually grew a beard.

"God Soul: Zeus!" Kisaru said. "Zeus is the leader of all gods! He commands the heavens themselves! That power is mine and I command them to strike you down!" On his order, lightning came down and struck Damien.

"Damien!" Bella shouted. Damien was doing his best to endure it. After coming this far, he wasn't going to let himself be beaten. Damien caused the lightning to disperse and was still holding strong. Kisaru couldn't believe he's still holding.

"I've been zapped by lightning from my old man and my sister." Damien said. "You'll have to do better than that." Kisaru was getting irritated by this.

"This can't be. I'm one of The Ten! I hold the power of gods!" Kisaru said. That didn't matter to Damien.

"I might not be on the same rank as my family, but that doesn't mean I can't hold my own in a fight." Damien claimed as he held his arms back to one side. "I'm ending this right here. Demon Circle! Eight Steps of Punishment!"

"Whatever you're trying won't work!" Kisaru said as he twirled his staff around to gather electricity and jumped in the air to attack.

"One!" Damien thrusted his arms forward and launched a ray of force. Kisaru got caught in it and was being pushed back with it holding a lot of power in it.

'Pressurized Air launched like a cannonball?!' Kisaru thought. He was blown back until Damien appeared behind him.

"Two!" Damien said as he did the same thing. Now Kisaru was getting hit from both his front and back. Damien kept moving around in other directions and count off. "Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight!" Damien launched pressurized air from all sides. Kisaru felt like he was being crushed from every direction. With Kisaru trapped like that, Damien flew over him and was ready to deal the final blow. "Here comes the punishment." Damien launched a blast of magic power in the center and it caused a great explosion. Kisaru was blown through the explosion and reverted back to his original form and was taken down. Now the second member of the The Ten is beaten. That's good because Damien changed back to his human form and was falling out of the sky.

"Damien!" Bella called as he hurried and did her best to catch him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah..." Damien said. "Just tired. I used so much magic power. There was no way I could keep the fight going if it didn't end like this. I'm just going to need a lot of rest."

"At least you're alive." Bella said. She took a look at the destruction that came from that. That explosion was a big one like a mix of fire and gas. "Damien... I don't even know what to think of that power."

"Sorry. Did I scare you?" Damien asked.

"No..." Bella said. Damien looked up at her face and had a smile on her face with amazement on her face. "It was incredible. I guess your family is full of beauty and power."

"You weren't...scared?" Damien questioned.

"Not at all. It was you after all." Bella said. "You might have appeared demonic, but I say that's part of your charm. You certainly no less than amazing, at least in my eyes. I guess that's part of the reason I fell for you. You're a demon that fights for those he loves." Damien was actually flattered with what Bella was saying. He figured anyone would have been scared by what they saw, but Bella wasn't the least bit. They might be having a tender moment, but there's still a great battle going on.

...

Gale

"Iron Dragon Sword!" Gale turned his arm into a sword and knocked away a few soldiers. He was fighting some of the enemy on the outskirts of Hargeon and he seemed to have been holding out well. "Come on! I'll take on all of you! Iron Dragon Lance: Demon Logs!" Gale launched a barrage of attacks and took down some more. "Who's next?" The soldiers were about to get back in the fight, but they were backing away. "What's this?"

"You might want to turn around." Gale looked behind him and was met with a higher figure: Reginald.

"I take it you're one of the big dogs." Gale said.

"I am Reginald Prometheus Casswell. So you're another member of that pathetic guild?"

"Watch it." Gale said as he was already getting ticked off by the guy.

"I hope you aren't sensitive like that storm wizard I brought down." Reginald said.

"Storm wizard? So you're the one that hurt Raio." Gale said. "Well, you better get ready." He said as he popped his knuckles. "I'm not like Raio. That means I'm going to be the one to give you a beatdown." A demon defeated a fake god. Now a dragon is about to take on another that has taken a god's name.
