Trianna and Enigma are time hopping using the Phoenix Gate when one of Demona's spells accidentally redirects them to Manhattan in 1995. After meeting the Manhattan clan, will the two return to their own time, or stay, putting the space-time continuum at risk?

Disclaimer: I do not own Gargoyles. The only thing that is mine is Trianna. Gargoyles belongs to the amazingly talented people that came up with the show!

Chapter 1

Demona finished casting her spell and looked up from the spell book. A huge ball of fire appeared in the middle of the room. She grinned wickedly. As she watched, two dark shapes materialized inside the ball of flame. Demona stared. Her triumphant grin turned into a look of absolute fury. The spell hadn't worked! She was not trying to summon anyone or anything!

The two shapes began to emerge from the fire. Soon, Demona could make out what they were. Two gargoyles stepped out of the fireball. One was a fiery red female with blonde hair, the other a deep sapphire blue with a tomato red mane. They both looked strikingly similar to Demona.

Enigma, the sapphire gargoyle, stretched her wings. The fire had forced her to cloak them around herself. She froze in mid stretch, glancing around. This was definitely not the right place.

"I don't think were in Kansas anymore Toto." She said quietly.

"What?" asked Trianna, the red gargoyle, looking around. Demona had backed into the shadows to hide herself, but her red eyes glared at the two newcomers.

"Um, I don't think we're alone here Enigma," said Trianna. She nodded toward Demona. Enigma looked over to where her friend was indicating. She narrowed her eyes, readying herself to fight if necessary.

"Who are you? And where are we?" She waited for a reply, swinging her tail back and forth. A cold voice answered her.

"I am none of your business. It is I who must ask who you are. I was not summoning anyone." Demona glared at the two. "How did you get here? I know all of the remaining gargoyles, and YOU are not any of them."

Enigma growled at the cold reply. But knowing that she would probably say something she regretted, she stayed quiet. She would allow Trianna to deal with this angry gargoyle.

The fiery red gargoyle took a few steps forward. She stopped when the owner of the voice stepped towards her as well. She growled deep in her throat and her eyes burned red. This new gargoyle looked almost exactly like Enigma! And her body type and wings were like Trianna's!

"Do not make me repeat myself." She said. The cold voice had become an icy steel blade. "Who ARE you?"

Enigma's eyes started to glow a dark blue.

What is going on here? She thought. Her tail lashed more violently, making scratches in the floor. She forced herself to calm down a little. Might as well try to get along.

"Fine then. I am known as Demona," said the stranger menacingly. "And you are?"

Trianna's eyes still glowed red. "I am Trianna and this is Enigma. What year is this? And where are we?"
Enigma watched Demona carefully. It seemed that this gargoyle had interrupted the Phoenix Gate somehow. Enigma decided to ask her about it later. If there was a later.

The evil red glow in Demona's eyes dimmed. She seemed to relax a little. "It is the year 1995. We are in the city Manhattan, at the Manhattan docks."

As Demona relaxed, so did Enigma. "Manhattan," she said under her breath. Enigma was amazed. She had heard much of the city from her clan, but had never been there herself. It was a place she had always wanted to visit, but never had the chance before. But now, here she was. She wondered how they were going to navigate the city.

Trianna relaxed too. She stepped forward.

"I, and I presume Enigma as well--," she looked at her. Enigma nodded, showing that Trianna was correct in her assumption. "--Have never been to Manhattan before. We would not know how to navigate through the city. Perhaps you know of a guide, or you could help us yourself?" She stuck out her hand.

Demona hesitated, and then said with a wry smile "I could show you around. But follow closely. There are a few rogue gargoyles that live in these parts." She clasped Trianna's hand, then turned and walked out a door at the end of the building. Trianna and Enigma followed her. The door led out to a long pier.

"We'll get some good lift here" said Demona before jumping off the edge. Enigma and Trianna followed behind. Enigma bristled at the thought of rouge gargoyles. But she followed Demona and Trianna, mapping the place out in her mind. As she jumped off the edge of the pier, she started to wonder why Demona was alone.

"Where is your clan?" she asked.

Demona didn't answer for a while.

"My clan was destroyed by humans and other gargoyles." Enigma almost fell, but quickly recovered. Trianna was shocked. She had never heard of gargoyles fighting other gargoyles.

"How long ago did you lose them?" she asked incredulously.
"Many, many years ago," Demona said, looking sadly back at the other two. She looked forward again. "The first place I will take you two is my clan's old castle. It was brought here by a human called Xanatos. We gargoyles protected it until Xanatos betrayed us."

Enigma nodded, showing that she wanted to see this castle. A question plagued her, but the gargoyle did not know if it would offend Demona. But, being true to her name, she asked anyways.

"Are there any other gargoyles here?"
