AN: Alright, so sorry for the delay, but we were trying to figure out what to write! And we decided. So if anyone has a problem with what happens, don't sue please. Although come to think of it I don't think we know how we're resolving this problem… Another thing for us to think about… oh boy! So sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own Fie and Cassie owns Dara!

"No! Absolutely not!" Savitar roared.

Dara stood nose to nose with him. She had to do this and everyone aside from Savitar agreed. No one could blame him though. He was essentially sending his daughter into the snake pit, which housed the cobra.

"I'm not going to let him die for me! I love him! Mom would do the same for you!" she shouted back.

Ash, Tory, and Grace stood back and watched the two face off. If it wasn't a life or death situation, it would be funny as hell.

"Yes, but no one's asking your mother to face off against someone more powerful than her!"

"Not at the present time." Grace piped up. At Sav's exasperated look she grinned. "Well you didn't specify."

"Not the point. The point is not one of us can stop him and Ash and I have a lot of power. What do you think he'll do to you? Oh yeah, kill you!"

Dara snarled and stomped away. Sav sighed and let his shoulders slump. Grace and Tory smirked.

"What?"

"You do realize that nifty little power you two thought would be a brilliant idea just back fired on you right?" Grace asked.

Ash and Savitar shared a look before pointing at one another.

"It was your idea!" they said together. Both frowned. "It's your fault."

Grace shook her head.

"Look as entertaining as this is, our daughter found Nick and is facing him right now. I suggest you two get to work on finding her."

Grace and Tory left the room, leaving the men to find Nick and Dara.

"Nice place you got here. A little bright and white for my taste, but to each his own. Oh, but this isn't your place is it, Nick?"

Nick stood beside a beautiful redhead that put her looks to shame. This must be Artemis, the bitch-goddess.

"No, but your beloved Otto is here."

Dara held her breath. She knew he wasn't just going to hand Otto over, but she still didn't understand what he wanted with her.

"Where?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out, if-" There was always an if. "-You play the game."

Dara frowned. Well crap. "What game?"

Nick stepped forward as Artie fell into her throne. Even she knew what this game was. That never boded well for Dara.

"It's sort of like a timed 20 Questions. Only you have five minutes and I have an unlimited number of questions."

Dara frowned. "It's a game I'm going to lose. Narrow your list down to two really good questions and I'll play."

Nick smirked at her. "Do you really think you're in a position to bargain with me?"

Dara shrugged. "No, but I do know my dad and Ash are looking for me right now. If you want to play, get going."

Nick laughed. "Girl, that was one question. Next, how much do you love Otto?"

Dara scowled, but she couldn't waste more time with semantics. She would win.

"He's my world. He's been there since I was little and our relationship over the years have grown closer and I would do anything for him, just like he would do for me."

Nick nodded as he circled her with a calculating eye. "Why do you get to be happy when I suffered so much?" Dara turned to glare at him over her shoulder. "Two minutes left."

"You did this to yourself. You're the one who's made yourself suffer. You are the one who killed yourself to get revenge on Ash, for something he didn't do I might add. You are the failure. It just kills you that you let your mother down, that you are the reason she's dead. It kills you, that you failed."

Nick stepped next to her and set his mouth near her ear.

"You're wrong. You're the one who failed. The man you love? He's dead. Otto Carvalleti is no more."

Nick's words caused two things to happen. He went flying across the room as the entire temple started shaking. Nick and Artemis could both feel massive amounts of power pouring out of Dara as her fists shook and tears streamed down her face.

"What did you do?" Artemis asked Nick.

Nick didn't answer. He was too afraid any sound or movement would sent Dara off further. A wild wind whipped through the temple, shattering vases and statues left and right.

"What is she?" Artemis asked in awe.

"More powerful then I thought." Nick said, sounding as if he regretted what he did.

"What is going on here?"

Artemis paled as several gods entered her temple. Oh shit. Zeus led the group, followed by Hades, Eros, Apollo, Zarek and Astrid.

"Father," Artemis tried. "I-"

"You fucked up." Zarek said as he took in Dara. He turned his head away from Astrid so he wouldn't yell in her ear. "ACHERON! SAVITAR!"

The names barely left Zarek's mouth before the two men were before the gods. They took in the scene and while Ash's eyes widened at the show of Dara's powers, Savitar's narrowed on Nick.

"Boy," he said, his tone low and deadly. "you better tell me right now what you did to my daughter because I promise you, there is enough power in this room to wipe you from existence."

"I-" Nick stuttered in a way he hadn't since he was human. "I-"

"Spit it out, Nick." Ash growled as he summoned Simi to human form. "Protect Astrid, Simi."

Simi nodded, though Ash could see the worry for Dara in his demon's eyes.

"I told her Otto was dead." Nick admitted.

"Oh that was brilliant." Eros snorted. The others looked at him. "They're soul mates. Psyche told me when I considered messing with them." he stood a step back at Ash and Savitar's glare. "It was a two second consideration."

"Guys," Zarek piped up. "we might wanna focus on stopping the girl who looks like she could take out all of Mt. Olympus."

Ash looked at Nick. "Is Otto dead?"

Nick sneered at him. "Why should I tell you?"

Savitar held out a hand and Nick came flying into his grasp. "I will snap your neck, that's why."

Nick tore himself from Savitar's grasp. "Do not touch me."

"Answer the damn question Nick!" Artemis said. "She's destroying my temple."

"She's going to destroy a lot more then that." Ash growled at the selfish goddess.

"He's not dead." Hades said. "I'd know if he was. I'm told when one of your people arrives."

"Where is he?" Zeus asked, his deep voice silencing everything but what Dara was breaking.

Nick crossed his arms. "Not here."

Savitar tried to pull his temper in. "Boy. Where. Is. Otto?"
