It was, actually, a much more fair fight than Draiss was expecting, given that Suzuanne, now aware of her quasi-divine status, can teleport as freely as her opponent, and worked to, intelligently, shut down her opponent with heightened Dimensional Anchors, working to shut down as much of the battlefield as she can, to trap her opponent, easily able to withstand his ranged attacks, between her natural toughness and healing capabilities. She eventually does manage to pin him into close combat, though his sheer damage and defenses make it a long drawn-out battle, as both are incredibly powerful combatants; only the fact that he'd re-rigged himself to counter her abilities gave him the upper hand, by the end of the fight.<br/><br/>Over the next three months, Draiss begins to receive communications from Beyond, using Huntress as the go-between, arranging and hammering out the details of the delivery of goods to him and Verdelet. While it takes a fair while to negotiate the exact details, the ultimate agreement is that three shipments will be made, each a week apart, at a neutral location. Both parties will be allowed to inspect their shipment, then their rival's, then their will be returned, sealed by the other, while members of both sides observe to ensure impartiality.
