Brooklyn and Lex were gliding along by the river when they saw something flashing on the lower pillars of the Brooklyn Bridge.
"What's that?" Lex said. They dove down to the object and froze when they saw what it was.
"Um Lex, is that what I think it is?" Brooklyn said.
"If you think it's a bomb, then yes." Lex said.
"Terrific. Can you disarm it?" Brooklyn said.
"I could try but it won't do any good." Lex said.
"Why not?" Brooklyn said.
"Because it's not the only one." Lex said. Brooklyn looked and saw 5 other bombs attached to various areas of the lower bridge. They all had a timer of 30 minutes.
"If they go off, the bridge history." Brooklyn said.
"What do we do?" Lex said.
"We need help." Brooklyn said.

Goliath and Elisa were talking in the Great Hall when they heard something through the communicators that Elisa had gotten for them from the precinct.
"Can anyone hear us? This is an emergency." They heard.
"That's Brooklyn." Elisa said. Goliath picked up the device.
"Yes Brooklyn, we can hear you. What is happening?" He said.
"Goliath, we're at the Brooklyn Bridge and there are 6 bombs attached to the structures of the bridge set to go off in 25 minutes." Brooklyn said.
"Try and disarm them, we're on our way." Goliath said.
"Got it." Brooklyn said.
"Goliath, if those bombs go off, they'll destroy the bridge." Elisa said.
"I know. We have to stop them." Goliath said.
"l'll call the Mayor's office and the precinct to evacuate the bridge, I'll meet you there." Elisa said.
"Very well." Goliath said. He turned to leave.
"Be careful." Elisa said. Goliath kissed her.
"You too." He said, then he left to gather the others. Elisa got straight on the phone to the Mayor's office and the precinct to get units dispatched to the bridge. She then ran down to her car. She looked up and saw the others leave the castle. She drove as fast as she could to the bridge.

Lex and Brooklyn were trying to remove the bombs, but to no avail.
"15 minutes until boom." Brooklyn said. Then the others joined them.
"Brooklyn, have you been able to disarm them?" Goliath asked, landing next to them.
"No, the mechanism is too complex, we won't disarm them all in time." Lex said.
"Then remove them from the bridge." Goliath ordered. The Gargoyles all took a bomb each and tried to remove it.
"Carefully, they could be motion sensitive." Lex said.

On the bridge, the police had managed to evacuate the bridge and cordon it off. Elisa was on the bridge, making sure the last of the people were off and that she could see that the Gargoyles were alright.
"Goliath, how's it going down there?" Elisa said through the device.
"The explosives cannot be disarmed so we are attempting to remove them." Goliath said.
"Well the bridge is clear and sealed off so at least no one else is in danger." Elisa said.
"Where are you?" Goliath asked.
"On the bridge, doing my job." Elisa said.
"I suggest you get back and help keep everyone back safely." Goliath said.
"Oh no, you're not getting rid of me that easy." Elisa said. Goliath then looked at the others.
"How are you doing?" He asked.
"Whoever did this has them stuck on good and tight." Brooklyn said.
"We may not get them moved, lad." Hudson said.
"We have to keep trying." Angela said. There were 2 minutes left on the timers and one by one, the bombs were removed.
"Throw them in the air." Goliath called. They threw the bombs high into the air and one by one, they exploded, leaving the bridge intact. "Well done everyone. Lets regroup on the bridge." They all headed back to the bridge. Goliath, Hudson, Brooklyn and Lex landed first. Elisa went and joined them . She hugged Goliath.
"Good job." She said. Goliath smiled. Angela was about to land when she saw something.
"Wait, I see something." She said. She followed her line of sight to a ledge just below the surface of the bridge. "It's another bomb!"
"Everybody get back!" Goliath ordered. Everyone backed away. Then he saw Angela pick up the bomb. "What are you doing?"
"Getting it to the water." Angela said. She threw the bomb, but it exploded as she did. The others dove for cover, Goliath shielded Elisa with his wings. The force of the explosion forced Angela to hit her head hard against the metal frame of the bridge and knock her unconscious. She fell into the water.
"ANGELA!" Goliath called. He dove into the water after her. The others rushed to the side to try and see them.
"Angela!" Broadway called. They then saw Goliath resurface with Angela. She was unconscious. Broadway glided down and took Angela from him and glided back to the bridge. Goliath climbed back up to the top where he was helped over the side by Elisa and Hudson. Broadway laid Angela on the road. Elisa looked over her.
"Is she ok?" Broadway asked.
"I'm no doctor, but she's in bad shape. We need to get her back to the castle." Elisa said. Goliath allowed Broadway to carry Angela and he picked up Elisa. They all glided back to the castle. Broadway looked at Angela.
"Angela, can you hear me?" Broadway said. She didn't respond. Goliath put a talon on his shoulder.
"Why don't you take her to the infirmary? I'll join you soon." He said. Broadway and the others took Angela to the infirmary. Goliath turned to Elisa. "What was she thinking? She could have been killed?"
"She was thinking like you. What would you have done? What would any of you have done?" Elisa said. She took his talon. "She was raised by humans, but she gets her warrior instinct from you. She did what any of us would have done."
"You're right of course. Does this also mean you'll be working to find out who planted the bombs in the first place?" Goliath asked.
"No, it's out of police jurisdiction now. It up to counter-terrorism and the FBI to figure out." Elisa said.
"Good, because I think we could all do with you being here." Goliath said. Elisa kissed him.
"I'm not going anywhere until I know that Angela is ok." Elisa said. Goliath smiled. "Come on, Angela needs you." Then they both headed to the infirmary.
