The clone followed Sinbad obediently, unsure of where they're going but following just like she'd been programmed to. Sinbad, meanwhile, is leading the way down a winding tunnel. He had seen the opening on their way into the castle and had asked Denzel what it was, who had dismissed it as a trap Yassil had created to capture intruders. However, Sinbad didn't trust him and believed that this was probably the only way to save Maeve. He turned one last corner and came face to face with a door. He decided this was a good a time as any.

"Ok" he said, grabbing the clone by her neck and pinning her to the door. "Who are you?"

"Don't be silly Sinbad" she laughed playfully. "You know who I am"

"Don't mess with me girl. Tell me what you've done with Maeve"

"But Sinbad, I am Maeve. Don't I look like her?"

"Aye, you look like her, but that doesn't replace the fact that you don't have Maeve's soul. Now tell me what you've done with her or I turn nasty"

"Sinbad, is this a game? Because I'm beginning to not like it"

"This is no game; now tell me, who you are or I swear I will knock you out"

"But I AM Maeve" she insisted.

"That's it" roared Sinbad. He'd put up with this charade long enough, he needed to find Maeve and quick. He drew back his arm to complete his threat when someone grabbed his fist.

"Sinbad! What are you doing brother?" yelled Doubar as he flung him away from Maeve. "It's a good job Denzel insisted we follow you, what has gotten into you man?"

"Doubar, that ISN'T Maeve. It's an imposter, just look into her eyes if you don't believe me" Doubar wasn't sure what to think anymore, sure his brother was acting crazy, but would jealousy drive him to punch the woman he loved more then life? Doubar turned and looked into the clone's eyes and understood what Sinbad had been getting at. He instantly grabbed the clone's neck and held her to the wall as Sinbad had.

"Ok, what have you done with the lass?" demanded Doubar.

"I don't know what you're talking about" insisted the clone, struggling to breath. Firouz and Rongar ran up with Denzel.
"Doubar, what's going on?" asked Firouz.

"Sinbad's right, this isn't Maeve, just look into her eyes Firouz"

Firouz and Rongar gathered around and looked into her eyes. Nothing.

"By the Gods" exclaimed Firouz. "But if this truly isn't Maeve, then where is she?" Doubar turned to the clone.

"My fist, your face, or you talk" he demanded.

"But I swear I AM Maeve" she insisted.

Doubar roared and knocked her out. "Fine, we'll do this the hard way. What's the plan little brother?"

"We split up and search the castle. Doubar, you take the others and search the right, I'll take the left."
"Oh no you don't Sinbad, there's no way your looking around on your own. I'm coming with you" Doubar insisted.

"No Doubar, if I fail then I need you to promise me that you will get Maeve out."

"I'm not letting you go alone"

"Why don't I go with Sinbad" piped up Denzel. "I feel it's my fault we found the clone in the first place; besides, I know this castle better then anyone. I could help find her quicker"

"That's an excellent idea" beamed Doubar. "I'll feel much safer if I know you're looking after him Denzel"

'You can keep your eye on him this way, Sinbad' smiled Rongar.

'I agree' smiled Sinbad. "Denzel, come with me"

So the crew went quietly through the door, into a small empty chamber where they split up and took different doors. Denzel led Sinbad down a hallway and stopped outside a rather majestic door.

"This is Yassil's room" he whispered. "Maeve's probably in here"

Sinbad wasn't really sure whether he should trust him or not, but Maeve was too important to him that he couldn't chance it. He quietly opened the door and stepped into the dark room, and fell unconscious.

Doubar, Firouz and Rongar walked down there corridor and instantly ran into 20 or so guards.
"Well" stated Firouz. "This isn't good" as they started fighting what could possibly be their last battle.
