…Two weeks before Death visited Delilah.

"Owen? Owen, where are you?" Xanatos asked for the tenth time has he searched the house from top to bottom looking for his assistant, but Owen was nowhere to be found. "Alright, it's safe. You can come out now."

"Thank you for meeting with me David." Oberon said as he stepped forward and shook David's hand as he had learned was the custom from Titania.

"It's no trouble has long as you're not intending to take my son again." David said eyeing him seriously for a moment. "Why did you not want Puck here for this. It would seem that he would be very helpful." David pointed out.

"Like me, Puck does not desire the end of this world. It is fate however and none of us can fight it." Oberon replied. "He will try and stop it and then I would be forced to kill him, and I do not want too."

"If you do not want this to happen than why not put a stop to it." David asked has he pulled out a chair and sat across from him.

"I just told you." Oberon said with a hint of irritation bleeding through as he spoke. "None of us can fight fate. Fate is what has guided all of the peoples of this planet through the lives they have built and accomplishments they have achieved. Fate must be adhered to otherwise chaos will reign and I cannot allow that."

"It would be the end of the world." David chuckled. "Chaos is all we will have when that begins."

Oberon just scowled as he stepped closer to David. "I hear you're still in contact with Dr. Sevarius."

"And, what interest is the good doctor to you?" David asked suddenly curious about Oberon's plans.

"He has been chosen to raise the army that War will lead against the meager forces of this world." Oberon sighed as he gathered his thoughts.

"The man is unbalanced, and I'm putting that mildly." David said has he went to pour himself a drink.

"I am aware of his eccentricities, but he is still the only one alive that can create the army that I require." Oberon stated has he started to lose patience with the conversation.

"What's in it for me?" David asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"If I do this and get Sevarius to help you the world will end. Where is my incentive to help you." David leaned over his desk and stared at Oberon to emphasize his point. "Alliances are built upon mutual advantage. So, before I help you I need you to tell me what my advantage will be."

"I thought that was obvious." Oberon replied. "My daughter will be coming to Avalon and of course has her husband you and my grandson will be coming with her."

"Alright, then I will do it, but I still have my doubts about this." David said has he began looking through his phone book. Oberon disappeared has David picked up the phone and began to dial.

What the hell have I got myself into this time? David thought as he waited for the other line to pick up.

"Hello." Fox picked up the other end.

"When will you be home? We have something that we need to discuss now."

"I don't know, I still have a few things I need to take care of here." She replied.

"Hurry, we really need to discuss this." David's tone began to worry her.

"David, what's wrong? What happened?" Fox asked as fear crept into her voice.

"Nothing yet, but if we can't fix this it is the end of everything." David said as he hung up the phone and sat in his favorite chair brooding for a few hours as he contemplated his options. Then with a sigh he picked up the phone again. "Dracon, yes it's me. I have a task for you..."

...Current day, back at Matt Bluestone's apartment.

"Does she always take this long?" Matt asked for the fifth time as he placed a card down on their discard pile. They had begun playing phase ten when they grew bored waiting for her to show up.

"Well, you know Liz. She won't quit until she finds what she's looking for." Jason pointed out as he grabbed the card and put down another.

"Maybe, we should go check on her." Matt suggested has he drew a new card and laid eight of his ten cards on the table. "Looks like I phased first again." He said with a laugh as he discarded one.

Jason scowled at that has he studied his cards. Then he grinned as he picked up the discarded card and laid down nine of his cards and discarded his final card.

"Yet I still win." Jason grinned as he began to shuffle the deck again.

"Beginner's luck." Matt chuckled as he got up to grab himself a beer as Jason dealt.

...Meanwhile Elisa pulled up outside of Xanatos's company headquarters.

"Talk about Deja vu." Elisa said as she pulled up and Owen came out to greet her.

"I got your message Detective. What can I do to help?" Owen asked as he fell into step beside Elisa has they walked into the building.

"What do you know about Xanatos's deal with Sevarius?" Elisa asked as they approached the conference room.

"Straight to the point. I like that. Very well, I know nothing of his deals with Sevarius." Owen stated as he pulled out a chair for Elisa and then took one himself. Elisa crossed her arms as she eyed him suspiciously.

"I thought we were at a place where you could trust me." Elisa stated coldly.

"We were and then you left for Dallas, however this isn't about trust. Mr. Xanatos has not advised me of anything regarding Dr. Sevarius." Owen said as he eyed her thoughtfully for a moment. "Actually, we may be able to help each other. I know he is not telling me everything and you being here confirms that. We should find out what he is hiding."

"I left for Dallas, because of my job." Elisa stated defensively.

Owen just looked at her skeptically. "No, Detective I believe you left because of Goliath."

"Why does everyone keep saying that? I'm with Jason now. I love Jason. To hell with Goliath." Elisa stated bitterly.

"Your emotions betray you." Owen grinned at her.

"Whatever, can we just get back to the point?" Elisa snapped angrily.

"Very well. If it is indeed Sevarius that Mr. Xanatos is working with then we should start at the doctor's laboratory." Owen pointed out.

"Why would Xanatos be working with him again?" Elisa thought out loud.

"I don't know. This is the first time he has hidden his agenda from me." Owen said with irritation creeping into his voice.

The two left Xanatos's office and headed to Dr. Sevarius's lab.

"Is this it?" Elisa asked as they stepped out of the car.

"What were you expecting? A creepy castle or a sign outside saying creepy old man inside keep your children away." Owen chuckled as he walked around to the back of the building.

Owen opened the door quickly and Elisa took the lead with her gun drawn. Inside they found a long hallway leading towards the center of the building. After advancing several feet they heard a rumbling sound as a robot moved towards them from the other end of the room. The robot stood seven feet tall and was chrome colored from head to toe. It had the appearance of a walking metal skeleton. It's red eyes narrowed as it took aim.

"Oops, wrong room." Elisa said as she turned to leave with Owen. The door they had come in slammed shut. "Shit! Okay, I guess we're going through Robocop." Elisa turned and the robot fired. Before the bullets could strike Elisa Owen turned into Puck and leapt in front of her with a large round green shield that deflected the bullets. The robot walked forward while continuing to fire.

"Wrong movie. He looks more like a terminator." The machine stopped to reload and Puck took advantage of the time has he hurled the shield has hard as he could and it hit the mid section of the robot and split it into two pieces. They watched has the lights in it's eyes went out before they continued heading down the hallway.

As they passed the machine Elisa holstered her pistol and picked up it's rifle. When they got to the end of the hall they found themselves staring at thousands of gargoyle clones directly below them and to the left she saw the Thailog clone. Elisa aimed her rifle and was going to fire, but Puck stopped her.

"He's not alive. There's no use shooting a body." Puck pointed out. Across the large gap they saw lights come on inside of a small office. Walking around the chasm as quickly has they can while also being quiet they reached the door to the office and found it cracked open.

Elisa quietly entered the office followed closely by Puck. They found Sevarius sitting at his desk looking over some papers. Elisa snuck up behind him and grabbed him quickly out of the chair and while twisting him to face her slammed his back into the wall as she put her pistol under his chin.

"Well now, isn't this dramatic." Sevarius chuckled. Elisa tightened her grip on his shirt.

"Listen smart ass we're here to ask you about the project your doing for Xanatos and about the fact you've begun cloning again." Elisa shouted the last part. The cloning made her angry because of what had happened to Derrick the last time Sevarius dabbled with cloning.

"What does Xanatos have to do with all of this?" Puck asked as one of his swords appeared in his hands.

"You really think I would tell you anything?" Sevarius laughed as he looked from Elisa to Puck.

"That would depend entirely upon you, but if you value your balls I suggest you speak up." Puck grinned as he lowered his sword.

"You wouldn't dare." He glared at the fay then at Elisa. "Aren't you going to say something."

"I could suggest he just make you a eunuch." Elisa grinned. Sevarius breathed in sharply and nearly screamed when he felt Puck's blade digging teasingly into his leg.

"Alright, enough already. There's a card on my desk. You should find what you're looking for there." Sevarius breathed a sigh of relief until Puck placed his blade close to his throat.

"If you are wasting our time becoming a eunuch will be a pleasant dream compared to what will be in store for you." As he finished speaking he sheathed the blade.

Elisa dropped the doctor and swiped the card off of his desk as they headed out the door.

"Do you know where this address is located?" Puck asked as he looked at the card with her.

"Not yet, but we will find it and get to the bottom of this." Elisa said as they climbed into her car and sped off. Elisa picked up her phone and dialed. "Jason, get Matt and both of you meet us at 1911 Oakridge Street...No, I don't know where it is...Use google maps." Elisa said has she hung up the phone. While she was speaking to Jason Puck was guiding the car to the address.

Elisa and Puck arrived at the address. It was a large strip club it had pink signs outside to attract people to come in. Elisa groaned as soon as she saw where they were stopping.

"What's the problem?" Puck asked as he looked at her in surprise.

"This is Tony Dracon's place." Elisa said bitterly has she stepped out of the car.

"What's that got to do with anything?" Puck asked as he hurried to catch up.

"I just can't guarantee I won't kill him." Elisa snarled.

"Just wait until we get the information we need." Puck pointed out.

"I'll try." Elisa replied as they walked up to the club doors. The bouncer at the door stopped them as they we're about to walk in.

"Lines back there." He said as he let a few people in.

"I'm sure it is." Elisa said as she pulled out her badge. He looked at it for a moment and then laughed.

"This is for Dallas. You're in New York baby." He chuckled as he tossed it back.

"Does it matter where this is from?" Elisa said as she drew her pistol. "No? That's what I thought." She said as the bouncer stepped back while her and Puck walked in.

"You know he's going to call the police." Puck pointed out.

"No, he won't. He'll call Dracon's thugs." Elisa said as she quickly walked into the main part of the club. Puck was about to say something further but the music drowned him out. As they walked in they found that it was difficult to see because of the strobe lights, but that didn't appear to stop the many people out on the dance floor, and she had to admit she felt envious of the skill the table dancers possessed. The loud techno music was nearly deafening, and Puck wanted nothing more at that moment than to finish this and leave. Has they walked towards the back they were met by three of Dracon's thugs.

"Come with us." The lead thug said during a lull in the music. Elisa and Puck followed him as the other two disarmed Elisa and took positions to watch them.

"Welcome back Detective Maza. I missed you not always trying to interfere with my plans." Tony said as he sat at his desk. "Take a seat we have much to discuss."

Puck and Elisa sat down and waited for Dracon to get to the point.

"Let me guess. You got bored chasing cowboys and decided you needed the excitement only big bad Dracon can provide. Am I right?" Tony chuckled as he looked them both over.

"We need to talk about what Sevarius and Xanatos are up to." Elisa said suddenly. Dracon looked thoughtful for a moment before replying.

"It would seem you've come a long way for nothing." Dracon replied. Elisa took out the card and threw it to him.

"This card says otherwise." Elisa said crossing her arms over her chest.

"So, you have a card. Look Elisa it's been nice catching up, but I think that there is much that we can do for each other." He grinned as he stood and paced back and forth behind the desk.

"Such as?"

"Well, I can give you enough to put away Sevarius once and for all." Tony grinned as he pulled a folder out of his file cabinet. He went to hand it over and then pulled it back as she reached for it. "Of course, you'll have to earn it."

"No way. I am not doing that." Elisa said heatedly has she started to rise.

"Oh, get your mind out of the gutter. We're talking because your the only one I know who can get close to Demona."

"What do you want with her?" Puck and Elisa asked simultaneously.

"Her? Nothing at all, she has something that I need and since you can get close to her you can get it for me."

"What exactly is it that I would be retrieving?" Elisa asked as she sat back down.

"Elisa, what are you doing?" Puck looked at her as if she had lost her mind. Tony interrupted.

"That's the best part this is an easy job. It's just a statue, and I don't think she would even miss it." He pulled a picture from the envelope it was a black dragon statue.

"What is this thing?" She asked studying the photo.

"Just an heirloom that she stole from me years ago. It has immense sentimental value, but monetarily it's worthless." Dracon said as he began to walk them out.

"If I do this. You will give me enough to take down Xanatos and Sevarius." Elisa said as she walked up to him and snatched the file.

"You're getting greedy." Tony chuckled as he watched her walk out. She stopped suddenly and looked over her shoulder at him.

"You said it was of immense value to you." She smiled as Puck followed her out of the room. As they got outside he rounded on her.

"Are you out of your mind? You can't steal from your friend to help our enemy." Puck nearly shouted.

"I will do what I want. Besides what friend? I haven't heard from my so called friends in five years so I'll do whatever I damn well please." As Puck and Elisa continued to discuss the situation Matt's undercover vehicle came speeding around a corner and stopped in front of the club. Jason hopped out and stormed up to Elisa.

"You gave us the wrong address on purpose?" He shouted as he came up to her.

"I knew I could handle Dracon, besides I gave you the next door address just in case I would need back up didn't I?" Elisa grinned. "You're very cute to worry about me though."

"Alright, what did you get?" Jason asked as he attempted to calm down.

"Not here, let's go back to the apartment." Elisa said as she got back into Owen's car with Puck.

"What was that about them not being your friends?" Puck asked as he changed back to Owen.

"You wouldn't understand." Elisa said as she drove off.
