Zeff and [[Jax (Reckoners)|Jax]] drove eight hours to El Paso, where signs of [[Epic]] fighting were clearly visible. On the battlefield, [[Dean Knighthawk|Knighthawk]] had set up multiple buildings, as well as a mechanical clean-up crew. They met with Knighthawk, as well as a man who Knighthawk introduced as “[[Perrick|The Californian]]”, who said he was a California [[Reckoners|Reckoner]]. Jax started talking with Knighthawk about motivators and Lux, inadvertently giving away valuable information. Zeff tried to get Jax to stop talking by glaring at him, but Jax didn’t get the hint. Knighthawk moved to his lab to work on a motivator, asking Zeff to come with him. Zeff stole a sample of DNA from [[Lawrence Robert|Mitosis]], and went back to retrieve Jax. He found that Jax had revealed even more valuable intel to the Californian. Saying that he needed Jax’s help unloading crates, he pulled Jax outside. He angrily berated Jax, furious about how much information he revealed. He said that he doesn’t know who the Californian is, but that he’s not a Reckoner. They left quickly, and started driving towards Arlington to join Abigail and the other Reckoners.{{book ref|lux|11}}
=== Arlington ===
On their way to Arlington, Zeff got a call from Abigail. Gunfire and explosions sounded over the line, and a panicked Abigail reported that they were being overwhelmed by soldiers from Lux, called [[Ravens]]. Their group had been discovered, and they were losing people quickly. Abigail told them that the Ravens weren’t dying, their wounds being healed by an unknown Epic. Zeff and Jax drove towards Arlington at max speed, and they soon saw Lux up ahead. Lux started moving away from the Arlington, and Abigail called and said that Lux was leaving, though there were only a few Reckoners still alive. Lux suddenly changed course, heading straight for Zeff and Jax in their truck. Zeff tried to shake Luxs, but it followed them, tracking them with precision. Zeff drove into Fort Worth, and they ditched the truck, grabbing their gear. Ravens touched down in the city, and started fanning out to find Zeff and Jax. They tried to fight some of the Ravens, Jax having moderate success with his [[Motivator#Boomerang|boomerang]] watch, but the Ravens were immortal. They were chased down a street, fighting as they ran, but Zeff got shot, falling in the street. The wound was bad, and he ordered Jax to leave him and find cover. [[Wingflare]] arrived, and ripped a hotel out of the ground with her powers. When Jax refused to leave him, Zeff activated the boomerang motivator on Jax’s wrist, smashing the device as Jax teleported away. Jax was transported to a nearby building, unable to return to Zeff.{{book ref|lux|12}}
Wingflare held the hotel over Zeff, and said that if he told her where Jax was, she would let him live. When he refused to tell her, she ordered the Ravens to go search for him. She then ordered Zeff to start running. She said that if he ran fast enough, she would let him live. Zeff got to his feet, standing defiant. He refused to run, telling Jax over their radio that “We don’t play their games.” Furious, Wingflare dropped the building on top of Zeff, killing him.{{book ref|lux|12}}
