Each member of the Fairy Tail has been dealing with a struggling battle and each member of Lost Treasure has been troubling for each member of the team. At the moment, Rukia was faced with a tough battle against Merinda. She used her Lost Magic, Human Soul, a lost form of Take Over Magic that allows her to merge herself with other humans, and has merged with Orihime. At the moment, Merinda was feeling round her new body to see how it fits with her hands sliding around her body and pushed up her breasts.

"This body feels amazing. A girl could have some fun with guys when you have a body like this." Merinda said.

"What have you done with Orihime? Where is she?" Rukia said.

"She's become part of me. She is me and I have become her." Merinda said.

"Release her at once." Rukia demanded.

"I'm sorry, but that won't be happening. Time to take this new body for a test drive." Merinda said as she held out both of her hands and was able to use Orihime's magic.

"Friends of All Shape"

"There's no way. Has she actually learned how to use Orihime's magic?" Rukia said.

"Koten Zanshun!" She unleashed the bright orange light and it seemed bigger and more powerful than when Orihime uses it. Rukia was lucky enough to dive out of the way, but the attack sliced through some trees, but they didn't just cut in half. All the trees that were hit were actually erased. Rukia looked back and saw the damage was done.

"Unreal." Rukia said.

"Amazing. That attack destroyed everything it touched." Merinda said. "I can't believe this girl would leave all this incredible power dormant."

'That's right.' Rukia thought back to how Orihime uses her powers. 'Orihime always held herself back because she never wants to hurt anyone, but Merinda has control over it. She can use the full power of that magic.'

"What's the matter? Feel like giving up?" Merinda taunted.

"Not even close. I'm getting my friend back. Ice:Make: Death Scythe!" Rukia made a scythe of ice and swung it at Merinda.

"Santen Kesshun!" Merinda formed Orihime's shield and the scythe shattered upon hitting it. "You might want to be careful. If you want to have any hope of saving your friend, you better not try to kill me."

"Damn it. This isn't going to work." Rukia said.

"Koten Zanshun!"

"Ice-Make: Shield!" Rukia formed a shield of ice to block the attack, but it shattered and blew Rukia back with great injuries.

"This has got to be the greatest form I've ever obtained. This girl is beauty and power." Merinda said as she was loving this form more and more. "I think it's time I ended this." She held out her hand to deal the final blow and Rukia was having trouble getting back up. Merinda was about to deal the final blow, but for some reason, her other arm reached out and grabbed herself and stopping her from attacking. "What? What's going on?"

"What's she doing now?" Rukia questioned.

"What the hell is this?" Merinda said. It was like she was fighting herself.

'I won't let you hurt my friend with my magic.' A voice was coming from inside Merinda's head and Merinda didn't think this could happen.

"That voice! It's that girl. How is she able to resist me?" Merinda said. "This shouldn't be happening. It should be impossible."

"Orihime, is that you in there?" Rukia said.

'You won't do this. I won't let you.' Orihime said in Merinda's head.

"How is this happening? I have complete control over you." Merinda said as she tried to regain control, but Orihime was able to fight back.

'You don't seem to understand friendship. Friends are friends of all shapes.' Orihime said. 'Even if you have control, Rukia is still my friend and I'm still hers and as her friend, I will help her stop you. Sōten Kisshun!" Orihime's barrier was brought around Merinda and it felt like her body was being torn apart.

"Somehow, Orihime's fighting. Is she using her magic to separate them?" Rukia tried to figure out what was going on, but her answer came. Inside the barrier, Merinda and Orihime were separating with Merinda returning to her normal self. The barrier broke apart and bth of them were thrown out.

'She actually did it! How did she do it? What the hell is she?' Merinda thought, but she stopped thinking when she saw Rukia appear right in front of her. Rukia held out her arms and formed blades of ice on both of them.

"Now that Orihime is out of you, I can finish the job." Rukia said.

'No. I've lost too much power from that separation. I'm not going to make it!' Merinda thought as she foresaw her defeat.

"Ice-Blade: Seven Slice Dance!" Rukia slashed against Merinda seven times and deal the final blow. Merinda rolled against the ground and was taken down. That brought one of the Jewels down. "Orihime, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Orihime said as she sat up and Rukia was glad she was safe.

'Orihime's magic continues to amaze me. I thought it was just some sort of Support Magic, but it's obvious there's more to it than meets the eye.' Rukia thought.

"Rukia, thanks for trying to save me." Orihime said.

"I didn't really do anything. It was all you." Rukia said.

"But you tried your best." Orihime said and was starting to feel a little sleepy. "I feel kind of tired. Is it okay if I take a rest?"

"That might be good idea. You've been through a lot." Rukia said. Orihime closed her eyes and fell back to get a little rest. One member of Lost Treasure has been taken down, but there's still the matter of the other two and Lonark.

Ichigo

Ichigo was able to regain consciousness after his encounter with Lonark. He as trying to find his way to go after him.

"Oh man. That dude packs a hard punch." Ichigo said. "There's something very strange about his magic. It felt dark, but also filled with light at the same time. I can't let that bother me. I don't know why he wants that key, but I have to get it back." With Ichigo back in the game, he's out to get some payback.

Chad and Renji

Both of them have taken a hard blast from Koonra's Arc of Tree Magic. The area around Koonra has caused some devastation, but he didn't see Renji or Chad anywhere around him.

"I guess those two are done for." Koonra believed, but he saw a couple strange objects that looked like pods. Both of them were opening up and Renji and Chad climbed out.

"That was a close one." Renji said.

"What were you two just in?" Koonra said. Renji smirked like a genius. Just before Chad and Renji got hit, Renji wrapped the both of them with his elastic bands.

"I used my magic to form rubber pods that kept us safe from the heat of your attack." Renji said.

"Clever, but not clever enough. It's time I finished the both of you off." Koonra said. "Folium Sica!" Koonra unleashed blades made from leaves at the two of them.

"Orachi Whip!"

"Take Over: Gigante!" Renji and Chad used those spells to try and block the leaves from slicing at the two of them.

"Game over." Koonra said. He had roots stretched out and restricted the two of them by grabbing their arms and legs. "This is where it ends for the both of you. First, Burst Claw!" He unleashed the blades from the ground and struck against the both of them and blew up. "Finally, Chain Claw!" The roots holding them were bursting and caused the explosions to get bigger. He waited for the smoke to clear away and Chad and Renji were on the ground with them burned, bruised, and their clothes torn up. "I'm amazed they are still in one piece after that, but it looks like I'm done here." Koonra was leaving them there and was starting to step into a tree.

"Where are you going?" Koonra heard someone spoke and felt something wrap around his right arm while he was in the tree. He looked to see where the other end was and saw Renji was still holding on.

"How? How can you still be alive?" Koonra said.

"I told you not to underestimate us." Renji said as he lifted his head up to look at him. "When we come together, there's nothing we can't do. Our friendship with each other helps us grow stronger. You're mistake was taking me and Chad together."

"Ridiculous." Koonra said.

"You think so? Let's find out. Come out of there." Renji said. He grabbed the rope with his other hand and pulled with all of his remaining strength and got Koonra right out of the tree and was sending him flying to Chad. "Now, Chad!"

"Take Over: Diablo!" Chad was able to push himself back on his feet and his arm was covered in the white and red. "Diablo's Sacrifice!" Chad build up power around his left fist and was driving it straight to Koonra.

"Oh man." Koonra said as he regretted even taking these guys on. Chad struck Koonra right in the stomach. Chad tossed him a good distance as Koonra bounced against the ground a few times and left body shaped craters until he crashed completely and that crash left another skull in the ground with Koonra taken down as well.

"Nice job." Renji said. Chad gave the thumbs up just before he collapsed and passed out. "Chad!" Renji was about to go help him, but his injuries kept him from moving. Renji couldn't hold on either as he succumb to them and passed out. They both might have used up all their power, but at least they won the battle and took down another one of Lost Treasure.

…

Lonark

Lonark sensed all the magic energy that was flowing around the area as he continued to wait for his subordinates to return. He already knew that two of the Three Jewels were taken down and he wasn't pleased with any of this.

"It would seem I greatly underestimated our enemy." Lonark said. "It's hard to believe that Merinda and Koonra were taken down. Hear me Kazu, you better not bring disgrace to our guild either." With Lonark occupied with, he had no idea that he was being watched. Nelliel was able to find him first as she stayed hidden behind a tree.

"Looks like that airship is their base of operations." Nel said. "I won't allow those criminals to escape after what they've done to my guild." It would seem Nel is set on keeping Lost Treasure from taking their means of escape. Hopefully, Ichigo isn't too far so he can help her. Two members of Lonark's best have been beaten, but only one remains. One where Uryu is forced to face him alone. The others were able to beat their opponents because they were able to help each other, but Uryu is on his own. What will become of Lost Treasure after this?

…

Orihime: Ichigo, do you think science and magic can mix?

Ichigo: I don't know that much about science, but I suppose. After all, different types of magic hold the characteristics of all that element stuff. So perhaps the rules of science can apply to them as well.

Orihime: That sounds incredible. When did you get so smart?

Ichigo: I don't know about that, but there are some annoying others that would disagree.

Ichigo: Next Time: Uryu vs. Kazu

Orihime: I don't get it. Fairy Tail is suppose to be like family. So why can't you and a few others just get along?
