Dante begins to use his powers to try and subdue Malachi and try to get away from him. as he is pulling out everything he can muster from himself, Malachi stands back watching...and laughing.

MALACHI- “Go ahead, Dr.  Use whatever you wish, you can not stop me. Plus when was the last time you even tried to use your powers??”

DANTE- “I am more powerful than you know, Malachi.  I am a Boedell....”

MALACHI- “Half Boedell and Half Jones, yes, I know. Go ahead, show me what you got.”

As Dante released his energy to try and overpower Malachi, he too released his power against him. It was as he said, and too much for Dante. It was useless, he couldn’t maintain this energy much longer...where was Philip??

Finally Dante became overwhelmed, and fell out on the floor.

Before Dante even realized what was happening, Malachai was at him. He raised him up magically, and at the same time was choking the air out of him. He was stronger than Dante imagined. He hoped that Philip was aware of what was going on....

MALACHI- “Philip Goth!?  Really?  You think that OLD Crazy Witch is going to help you, Dr.? I have more strength and power in my right hand than he has in his entire body. If you are waiting for him to be back up, you will be waiting, a while.  Plus my brother has him distracted at the moment.”

DANTE- “Let me down, Malachi...I am no good to you dead.”

MALACHI- “I had no intentions of killing you, Dr. I just want to make sure that you are aware who you are dealing with. I am not your aunt Aurora.”

DANTE- “I told you, I don’t have the book. I released all my claims on the book and the linage. The Book is with Eli.”

MALACHI- “But the dear crown prince is hidden away with the sacred book in the Sanctuary, isn’t that what you said?’

DANTE- “I have no idea where he or the book are.”

ELIAS- “Dante!!  Thank you so much for coming to the ceremony!  It means a lot.

DANTE- “Hey, as the big brother, I have to be there to support you right?  I mean due to our circumstances I have to make up for loss time!”

ELIAS- “Oh, don’t feel obligated, Dante.”

DANTE- “What are you saying??...I WANTED to be there for you today. This is one of the most important days of your future!”

ELIAS- “You saw our parents at the ceremony, right?”

DANTE- “Yes, and they said they had something to tell us, together.”

ELIAS- “You have any idea?”

DANTE- “Yeah, I think they may have tied the knot, Elias.”

ELIAS- “MARRIED!!??

Downstairs, Malachi had picked up a despondent Dante and put him over his shoulder. Dante was alive, but totally knocked out. Malachi then transported himself, and Dante to Oasis Springs.

MALACHI- “I look forward to hearing from you Dr.”

DANTE- Please, just Dante.  I will call you in a few days.  Thank you for understanding about my family priorities.”

MALACHI- “Completely.  I too have a younger brother. I understand.  Good Luck to him, and I will hopefully hear from you soon.”

DANTE- “Of course..”

MAGGIE- “NO AURORA!!  You listen to me before you go, Bitch! I learnt a great deal from you. How to manipulate people to get what you want. To destroy people and their dreams. It was you and Vada Boedell that kept me from marrying Dante’s father, and look where it got you...Oh you are wrong, I do have powers, my dear, and you know the powers I have, and right now, I am going to use them to the fullest.  YOU WILL LEAVE, because I am banishing you from this place, and from this town!!! You step foot inside these city gates, your decrepit old body will start to deteriorate.  You will become who you really are, a bag of dried up bones. And your soul will go straight to hell where you belong! It was you that killed my father, and my mother...your own kin, because they wouldn’t yield to your darkness. You will kill no more!”

DANTE “Mother, calm down, you know what happens when you get worked up like this...”

MAGGIE- “I don’t care Dante. She has used me and you for the last time. Micah Boedell will not die by my or his son hand! He will be my husband as he was meant to be, and Dante will become the heir, and then you and all your old cronies will no longer have any power....why!?  Because WE WILL HAVE THAT DAMN BOOK!!   Then everything will be restored to the way it should have been! So you go...

She continued to walk towards Aurora, her anger rising with each step.  Aurora had never seen her like this, and knew if she didn’t back down that Maggie would do exactly what she said she would do.  She made her way to the door, stepping backwards as Maggie came closer and closer...

MAGGIE- “Banished from these walls, banished from this family...Banished from the Boedell’s You shall be destroyed if you return to these gates of this city!!---”

MALACHI- “So this is quite the set up here, Dr.  I am impressed. You have everything you need at your disposal right here.”

DANTE- “Yes, all the more reason, i do not think I need to go to Oasis Springs for this little project.”

MALACHI- “Well, this is more than just a little project, Dr. this is vital to the security of the country.

DANTE- “How about we quit playing games, I know who you are Malachi, I just don’t get why you are concerned about me, and what I can offer any of you.  I think it is obvious by what my mother did to our Aunt, that we want NOTHING to do with you or your kind.”

MALACHI - “Well, now, you are smarter than I bargained for Mercer. So you caught on pretty quickly.  Well, to make a long story short, we are here for one thing, and one thing only. Once you give it up, we will leave you be, so you can place with your little science projects down here.”

DANTE- “Apparently you are not as smart as I thought you and Andrea were…. I don’t have what you want, never had it, never will.  So How about, you just leave.”

MALACHI- “I tell you what, Dante, how about YOU STOP playing games, and give us the book. You are Micah Boedell’s heir and we know HE doesn’t have the book, so he must have turned it over to you already.”

Dante, unaware of the uninvited guest coming through the back door, went to the front door to meet with “Michael Durbin”

MALACHI- “Dante, I am so glad you called. I think you are going to be quite excited about what we have in store for you in this project.

DANTE- “Thank you for asking me to participate, but I would like some of the prerequisites before I get started and leave to Oasis Springs.  Can you join me downstairs in my lab?’

MALACHI- “Ah, you have a lab here, I was not aware of that.”
