Levy was hanging at the Mystic Star and was doing some reading. She was expecting Gajeel to show up and she saw him come in, but he looked like he had something behind his back.

"Hey! What took you so long?" Levy said.

"Sorry, but I had to make a stop because I have something for you." Gajeel said.

"Gajeel, you didn't need to get me anything." Levy said.

"I know, but I figured you might like it." Gajeel said as he handed her, her present and it was a book she's been looking for, for a long time.

"Gajeel! Where did you get this?!" Levy said as she was really happy to have it.

"I have my ways." Gajeel said. "I know you've been looking for it for a long time. I knew you would like to have it."

"I love it!" Levy said as she hugged him for this. However, Gajeel heard his morpher go off and found this as rotten timing.

"Listen, I love to stay, but I'm needed somewhere." Gajeel said. "I'll be back as soon as I can." Gajeel ran out with Levy wondering why he keeps doing that and wondering where he keeps going.

…..

The Rangers

The eight of them heard there was trouble. They headed downtown, but they didn't see a thing anywhere.

"Where's the trouble?" Natsu said.

"Keep your eyes open. They have to be somewhere." Gray said. All of them heard a lady screaming and saw a lady with black hair and a blue dress with opened-toe shoes. She was running from Kyoka and taratro soldiers.

"Get her!" Kyoka ordered.

"That lady needs help." Lucy said as all of the rangers charged right in. Kyoka fired an energy blast near the lady and it knocked her off her feet. All the rangers ran by and fought them off as Gajeel helped her.

"Are you okay?" Gajeel asked as he helped her.

"I think." The lady said.

"Gajeel, get her somewhere safe. We'll hold them off." Jellal said. Gajeel didn't bother with an argument as he helped the lady.

"Hold it." Kyoka said as she was going to go after them, but Erza stepped in and tackled her down. Kyoka shoved her off and the two face each other.

"What do you want with that women?" Erza asked.

"None of your business." Kyoka said as she swung her claw at her, but Erza held out her sword and countered each of her attacks. Gajeel escorted the lady behind some building to keep her safe.

"Are you hurt?" Gajeel asked.

"No. I'm perfectly fine." The lady said as she held up her hand and a yellow eye opened up in her palm. Meanwhile, the others continued to fight off against the soldiers and Kyoka. Erza swung her sword, but Kyoka jumped away.

"Retreat." Kyoka said and all of them escaped.

"That was weird. Why would Kyoka just run off like that?" Erza said.

"Maybe she got scared on how great we are." Sting said.

"I don't think so. Something about this doesn't seem right." Rogue said. All of them looked and saw Gajeel, but he looked like he was off balance.

"Gajeel, are you okay?" Lucy asked.

"I think so." Gajeel said.

"What happened with that woman?" Gray asked.

"She's fine." Gajeel said. "As soon as she saw she wasn't really hurt, she just took off."

"That was strange. Why was Kyoka after her in the first place?" Jellal said.

"I don't know. Let's just head back to the Mystic Star and wait to see what happens." Natsu said and all of them head back. Meanwhile, they mysterious woman hanged back and watched them leave.

"Is it taken care of, Seilah?" Kyoka asked as she walked up behind the lady she was chasing.

"It's been done. The black ranger is now under my control." Seilah said and reverted into her true form. Her hair was wilder, had horns, she had blue leopard-print clothing on her arms standing out with her legs having wings and blade-like legs. She also had yellow eyeballs on her hands.

"Excellent. You're quite the actress to be the damsel in distress." Kyoka said. "Soon, the rangers shall be under our control and they'll destroy each other."

…

Mystic Star

Gajeel didn't look well for he had a blank look in his eyes. The other rangers were trying to figure out what was going on, but he wasn't listening.

"Gajeel!" Gajeel snapped out of the trance he was in and turned to the others.

"What?" Gajeel said.

"Are you okay? You look like you're ready to pass out." Sting said.

"It's weird." Gajeel said. "I don't feel like myself. I did earlier, but now I don't."

"Maybe you should go home and get some rest." Erza said.

"For real. You don't look so hot." Sting said.

"I guess so." Gajeel said and he got up to leave. Gajeel made it outside before his mind went completely blank and he heard a voice in his head.

"Come. Come to me." Gajeel had no control over his body and started walking. He couldn't help, but obey what Seilah was telling him.

…

Seilah

Seilah, in her human form, and Kyoka stayed out of sight of any humans as they were around as they were stationed at the park. They saw Gajeel coming their way and were glad with him under their control.

"Welcome to the dark side, Black Ranger. What shall we have him do?" Seilah said.

"Order him to go to their hideout." Kyoka said.

"Very well. Gajeel, go to your base and destroy it." Seilah said. "As well as anyone you see in the place."

"As you wish milady." Gajeel said as he used his morpher and teleported to the rangers' hideout. Kyoka was quite pleased for she did not see how this one could go wrong.

…

Rangers' Base

Gajeel teleported to the base and he went right inside. Mavis was in there and she saw him come in.

"Gajeel? What are you doing here?" Mavis said, but he didn't respond to her. He took a computer and yanked it out of the ground and tossed it to the ground. "Gajeel?! What are you doing?" He still refused to answer her as he was acting aggressive and was wrecking everything. "Gajeel, stop!" She used her magic to try and restrain him, but Gajeel broke free easily and tried attacking her, but Mavis slid between his legs and tried staying out of reach. She knew something was wrong and needed help.

…

Mystic Star

Levy came back to the Mystic Star to try and find Gajeel, but there wasn't a sign of him anywhere. She looked over to see Lucy and the others and thought they might have seen him.

"Hi, Lucy." Levy said.

"Hey, Levy. What's up?" Lucy asked.

"Have any of you guys seen Gajeel?" Levy asked.

"Yeah. He wasn't looking so good so he headed home." Gray said.

"I actually stopped by his house earlier and he wasn't there." Levy said.

"He wasn't?" Jellal questioned.

"I also tried calling him, but he won't answer." Levy said. "I don't know what's going on with him. He keeps disappearing on me." None of them knew what to tell her about that. Mirajane felt her phone go off and saw it was an alert message from Mavis.

"Guys, there's a little trouble." Mirajane whispered to them.

"Sorry, Levy, but we need to go as well." Erza said.

"Seriously?" Levy said as she couldn't believe she was getting blown off again.

"Sorry. We'll talk later." Lucy said as all of them ran out the door.

…

Rangers' Base

Gajeel continued to trash the place and attack Mavis. Mavis had no choice, but to use her magic again. She created a giant sphere and trapped Gajeel in it. Gajeel tried pounding against the sphere, but he couldn't get out.

"Mavis!" She looked and saw all the others arrived.

"What's going on in here?" Lucy asked.

"Something is wrong with Gajeel." Mavis said.

"You're just now seeing that?" Natsu joked.

"I mean that he isn't acting like himself. He won't even respond to me except by attacking me." Mavis said. Gajeel continued to attack the sphere, but he heard Seilah's voice again.

"Come to me." Gajeel reached for his morpher and he teleported right out of there.

"What was that about?" Mirajane said.

"I don't know, but I did sense some sort of evil presence inside him." Mavis said. "Do any of you know if something might have happened to him?"

"None of us saw anything." Sting said.

"Wait!" Jellal said. "Gajeel went off on his own when he was trying to keep that lady safe when Kyoka and her servants attacked."

"You think that lady had something to do with this?" Erza said.

"I'm thinking that whole thing earlier was a setup. Gajeel was acting strange after the fight. He might be under some sort of spell." Jellal said. "We need to find Gajeel."

…

The Park

Gajeel teleported back to the park with Seilah waiting for him there. At the same time, Levy walked by, but she saw Gajeel and it looked like he was talking to some other girl to her, but they couldn't quite hear what they were saying.

"How did it go? I sensed you were having some sort of trouble." Seilah said.

"I tried to destroy the base, but I was stopped." Gajeel said. "Mavis trapped me and the other rangers soon arrived."

"I suppose we should have anticipated that." Seilah said, but she smiled and caressed her hand against his face. "That's okay. We'll just figure something else out. Let's figure out another plan." Seilah walked away and Gajeel was gonna go with her.

"Gajeel!" Gajeel turned around and saw Levy was standing there. Though she couldn't hear what they were saying, Levy believed that Gajeel has actually been cheating on her. "Is this really what's been going on?" Gajeel didn't respond, but something was happening inside. He heard Levy's upsetting voice. "You're not even going to say anything. Fine. We're done!" She ran off and hearing Levy say that caused Gajeel to snap out of his trance.

"Levy?" Gajeel said. At first he was confused, but he was beginning to remember everything and was filled with great anger. "That witch! She's going to pay for this!" Gajeel ran off in search of Seilah. Levy nearly cried against a tree. She looked down at the book Gajeel got for her and didn't want it anymore.

"He can take this back." Levy said as she went back to find Gajeel to return the book.

….

Seilah

Seilah met up with Kyoka once more. Since their first attempt failed, they were planning on capturing the other rangers and having them fall under their control as well.

"We need the other rangers and no one will be in our way ever again." Kyoka said. Gajeel was able to catch up to Seilah and was ready to get some payback and make this an eye for an eye. She messed with his relationship, he messes with her.

"Hey!" Gajeel called out.

"Gajeel, you're here!" Seilah said. Levy showed up as well, but she stayed hidden behind a building.

"You! You messed with my head and you're going to pay!" Gajeel said.

"What's this? He seemed to have broken free from your power." Kyoka said.

"That's impossible!" Seilah said as she was completely surprised. "He should be able to do anything I tell him."

"There's only one girl I do anything for and it's ruined because of you." Gajeel said.

"Gajeel!" Gajeel looked behind him and saw the other rangers were able to find him.

"Hey. Sorry about earlier, but I'm back to normal." Gajeel said and turned back to Seilah.

"You're going to pay. No one messes with my head." Gajeel said and all of them held out their morphers.

"Magical Energy, Unleash!" All of them morphed and the first five went straight into their Mystic Mode. Levy saw all of them morph and couldn't believe her own eyes.

"Gajeel's the black ranger!" Levy said.

"So be it." Seilah said and turned into her monster form.

"That one is mine!" Gajeel said as all of them went to attack and the two lady monsters went on the attack as well. All the other rangers were trying to fight off Kyoka and that left Gajeel with Seilah. Seilah swung her claws at Gajeel, but he blocked each attack with his staff. Gajeel kicked Seilah back and flipped backwards.

"I don't know how you broke free, but I'll put you back under my control." Seilah said as she opened the eyes on her hands and unleashed blue sonic waves. Gajeel was careful this time as he avoided them.

"I'm not falling for that again." Gajeel said and shot out pieces of iron against her. Gajeel charged in and swung his staff against her and sent her flying.

"Gajeel!" Natsu called out as he and the other three joined him while Jellal, Sting, and Rogue were still fighting Kyoka. "You ready to finish her off?"

"You don't even need to ask." Gajeel said.

"Elemental Blast!" All five of them combined their powers and fired the beam and blasted Seilah with her being destroyed. Kyoka was beaten back as she was tossed away.

"Having troubles, are we?" Kyoka looked up and saw Keyes arrived.

"Keyes! Just in time." Kyoka said.

"Not to worry. I shall rectify this matter." Keyes said. "Breath of demon and spirits of sake, make Seilah reawake!" Keyes used his power and revived Seilah as a giant.

"I have my eyes on you." Seilah said.

"I've had enough of her! Hey! Time to form the Grand Magic Megazord!" Gajeel said.

"Okay. Stop being pushy." Sting said. All of them called upon their zords and formed the Grand Magic Megazord to end this fight.

"Even that can't save you." Seilah said. She used the power in her hands' eyes and unleashed those blue waves and got the Megazord in them.

"What's going on?" Gray said.

"We've stopped moving." Rogue said.

"She's trying to take control of the Megazord." Lucy said.

"You're resilient rangers, but even you can't resist my power." Seilah said.

"I've had enough of you." Gajeel said. He was able to get one arm to move and fired an energy blast that blasted Seilah and allowed them to break free. "You're done for."

"Magical Fists!" They brought some power in the Megazord's fists and beat down on Seilah. They gave her a powerful uppercut and sent her flying.

"Aye, eye!" Seilah said before she was destroyed in the air.

"Nice, but there's still something I need to do." Gajeel said.

…

Mystic Star

Gajeel asked Levy to meet him at the Mystic Star. He was hoping there wasn't too much damage done. He looked up and saw her come walking in.

"Thanks for meeting me." Gajeel said.

"I take it this means you're going to explain who that girl was." Levy said, but Gajeel knew he couldn't. He knew that being hero has its prices.

"I want to, but I can't." Gajeel said.

"Gajeel!" Levy whispered and made sure no one was looking. "This came off from the latest monster that attacked." She dug in her purse and pulled out a piece of fabric Seilah was wearing.

"A piece of Seilah's clothing!" Gajeel said and was able to figure it out. "You know?!"

"I still am the black ranger's biggest fan and now I see why." Levy said with a smile said.

"Thank you!" Gajeel said as he was so happy that he picked her up and spun her around. "You do know this means you can't tell anyone?"

"Of course. I'm just glad there are no more secrets." Levy said and planted a kiss on Gajeel.

"Aw! Big tough Gajeel is a softy." Natsu taunted as he and the others laughed.

"That's it!" Gajeel said as he started a chase with Natsu to try and kill him. At least Gajeel has a huge weight off his shoulders and Levy can see Gajeel for the guy he really is with her own eyes.
