Scenario:  My opponent has Moses (CoW) in play.  I block his rescue attempt and play Arrest in Gethsemane in battle. 

What happens when AiG places itself in territory?  Since Moses' ongoing ability is a Prevent, and AiG already activated in battle, does AiG work?  Or does only the "Place in a territory" portion of AiG work?

Moses - "Negate enhancements, lost souls, and characters in territories (except Cloud cards).  While in battle, negate enhancements and characters in the field of battle (except Cloud cards)."

Arrest in Gethsemane - "Place this card in a territory: Judas and Sadducees cannot be ignored. Protect all Lost Souls from rescue, except by human Heroes. Discard this card after 3 turns."

AiG is played in battle, the place ability activates, it hits territory, Moses negates the place ability, it goes back to battle negated, and is discarded after the battle like a normal enhancement.

How can a Prevent ability Negate something? 

For reference of Moses' instant ability being a Negate and his ongoing ability being a Prevent, see here.  The relevant post is Gabe's post - the 3rd-to-last on page 1.

That makes sense, I stand corrected.

Place is just like any other ability so if Moses would prevent a card that would include the placement.
