A few weeks had passed since Xanatos and his wife had been arrested and the debate of the question if Demona had survived the fall since her body was never found.
Ever since then Willow had been attending multiple court dates as a key witness in Xanatos' trial.
On top of that she had been fighting against the Department of Child Safety in order to stay at the Castle.
"Come on Kyle!" Yelled Willow as she was practically jogging through the doors of the Eyrie Building.
"We don't wanna miss it!" Yelled Willow impatiently.
Kyle was trying his best to catch up to her.
"I still can't believe I'm staying here, given I'm the reason your parents are in jail." Said Kyle as he was still in shock.
Willow shrugged.
"Xanatos told Owen to let you come and go as you please as well as staying here." Said Willow as she explained as best she could.
Since showing his true colours Willow has no respect for her father anymore, refusing to even call him father now.
"He said it was because he didn't want to keep you away from your friends, but I think he's just trying to get on my good side." Said Willow with a huff and crossed her arms.
Since meeting each other Kyle and Willow have become good friends.
The two walked up the steps to the tallest point in the castle where all six gargoyles were roosting and were just in time to watch the sun sink below the horizon.
The cracking sound has echoed across the castle as the gargoyles shattered their stone skin, stretching and howling.
"Never gets old, does it?" Asked Kyle.
"Nope, still awesome no matter how many times." Replied Willow.
The gargoyles turned to see the two humans while hopping off of their roosts.
"Kyle, Willow, what a pleasant sight to greet us upon awakening." Said
"How did your Court Date go, Willow?" Asked Brooklyn as Willow was still teaching them new things like current politics.
"Well, we have good news and bad news." Said Kyle as he knew they needed to hear it sooner or later.
The gargoyles gathered closer.
"The good news is, I get to stay at the castle!" Yelled Willow in happiness.
The younger gargoyles all shouted in joy.
"That's great news, lass." Said Hudson with a smile.
Goliath smiled, placing a clawed hand on her shoulder.
However Goliath later frowned as he looked at Kyle.
"You said there was bad news as well." Said Goliath.
Kyle took a deep breath.
"Even with Willow's testimony, Xanatos and his wife was only convicted of receiving stolen property, since she couldn't reveal anything without revealing you, he and his wife only got a six month prison sentence, and we were lucky it didn't get suspended."
"His lawyers will probably get that time cut down." Said Kyle as he walked away.
"The point is that it's not safe here for us." Said Kyle.
"What are you saying?" Asked Goliath as he did not like were this was going.
"I'm saying we''ll have to find a new place to stay." Said Kyle.
"A new home, Goliath." Said Kyle.
"No, this castle is our home." Said Goliath in anger.
Kyle shook his head,
"Sorry but it's not, Xanatos bought it, lock stock and gargoyle." Said Kyle.
"Don't you understand, every minute we stay here, we're in danger." Said Kyle.
"You worry too much Kyle, Xanatos was defeated, we are safe here." Said Goliath as he walked away.
He stalked away as Willow and the others were looking at the argument with an awkward silence.
Willow looked at Goliath's retreating form and then at Kyle's angry face.
"I take it he didn't like the bad news?" Asked Willow.
"I think his head stays rock hard, even at night." Replied Kyle in anger.
At the Pack Media headquarters the Pack were training.
"This is getting old." Said the man known as Wolf.
"Quit complaining." Said the woman known as Fox as he began kicking the punching bag.
"You never had it this good." Said Fox as she looks at Wolf lifting a bench press.
The woman known as Hyena then slashed one the cardboards.
Her brother Jackal did the same thing.
Another man called Dingo then threw a rope at a mannequin and pulled it down.
Fox continued punching and kicking the punching bag.
Someone then came up from behind her.
She then turned around to attack.
The ninja then stood up and took off his mask.
He then walked away.
"Later Harvey, work on those backflips, hear me?" Asked Fox.
The other members then went around her.
"When we took this job, we were promised fame, money and action." Said Wolf.
I have a different reason for joining this crew. Though Dingo.
"I'm not complaining about the first two, but I could use some more of the third." Said Wolf as he took a couple of weights of the shelf.
"Sounds like the Wolf-man is getting bored." Said Jackal to his sister.
Hyena laughed actually like a hyena.
"Maybe a new hair cut would help." Said Hyena as she snipped her fingers.
"I don't need any suggestions from you two clowns." Said Wolf.
Dingo went up to Fox while polishing a gun.
"Yeah, Wolf's right Fox, this is a cushy gig, but we're all getting soft." Said Dingo as he put the gun away.
He punched himself in the stomach.
"Flabby as I am now, I probably wouldn't last a week in a Central American War." Said Dingo.
Wolf continued lifting the weights.
"Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, wolves gotta hunt." Said Wolf as he threw away the weights into the wall and smirked.
Fox walked away.
"Well, since you're all itching for action, let me show you what came in today's mail." Said Fox as she sat on a bench with an envelop.
She later held it up.
"With no return address and no explanation." Said Fox as she took out the photos from envelop.
The rest of the members then looked at them.
"Stone me." Dingo says in astonishment.
"Interesting." Said Jackal.
They were photos of Goliath fighting the steel clan.
Hyena took one of the photos.
"You know I remember reading something like this in the Daily Tattler, people saying they've seen gargoyles coming to life." Said Hyena as she cackled.
"Right, and alligators live in the sewers." Said Jackal sarcastically.
Wolf looked at Fox.
"What's the point of it?" Asked Wolf.
"Hey, you said you were looking for action." Said Hyena.
Fox then help up one of the photos.
"Imagine hunting something like this." Said Fox.
"We'll figure it all out later, right now we have a personal appearance to make." Said Fox.
After The Pack show ended the gargoyles came back except Lexington.
It was almost dawn and his isn't back.
"Does he was cut this close?" Asked Kyle.
Hudson nodded.
"There you are." Said Broadway.
They looked up and saw Lexington coming down.
Goliath crossed his arms.
"Where were you?" Asked Goliath.
"I made us some new allies." Replied Lexington.
Brooklyn then went closer.
"You don't mean The Pack?" Asked Brooklyn.
Lexington then stood up.
"I sure do, they're just like us, they defended the innocent." Said Lexington.
"And they do it on Television." Said Lexington.
"You let them see you?" Asked Goliath.
Lexington dropped his smile.
"Well yes I uh did, and why not you made friends with Kyle and Willow." Said Lexington in anger.
"Please leave us out of this." Said Kyle as he backed away.
"That was different." Said Goliath.
Hudson then looked over.
"This argument will have to wait for nightfall lads." Said Hudson as he pointed at the sun.
Goliath looked at the sun and then at Lexington and pointed at him.
"This isn't over." Said Goliath.
They then turned to stone.
"This is going to be one interesting argument." Said Kyle as he picked up a bag and went off the school as Willow nodded in agreement.
Hours have passed and Goliath and Lexington continued their argument.
"You bet it isn't, why is Kyle or Willow different?" Asked Lexington.
"These guys are defenders of the Realm." Said Lexington.
"He may be right Goliath, I've seen them on the picture box." Said Hudson.
"They are constantly attacked by these 'Evil Ninjas'." Said Hudson.
"Maybe they could use our help." Said Broadway.
"Look, it's not like I revealed all our secrets, I'm not stupid." Said Lexington.
"They don't know we turn to stone during the day, and they don't even know where we live." Said Lexington as Goliath crossed his arms.
"Look will you please meet them before you judge them?" Asked Lexington as he was desperate.
"I think if anyone would understand us, they would." Said Brooklyn.
"We can't hide from the whole world up here." Said Lexington.
"There are kindred spirits out there for us, but we've got to look for them and we've got to give them a chance." Said Lexington.
"Or else, we'll always be alone." Said Lexington sadly.
Goliath then sighed and uncrossed his arms.
"All right, take me to meet them." Said Goliath.
The three young gargoyles then looked excited.
"If it's safe, we'll arrange introductions for the rest of you." Said Goliath.
Goliath and Lexington then took off to meet the Pack.
Kyle came up with Willow behind him.
"What'd I miss?" Asked Kyle as Willow looked in confusion.
They waited for sunrise waiting for Goliath and Lexington to return.
Soon Goliath and Lexington came back but not happy.
"Are you alright?" Asked Kyle in concern.
"No, the Pack lied to us, tried to hunt us for sport." Said Lexington in anger.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Said Kyle in sadness.
"But Lex there is something that everyone needs to learn." Said Kyle.
"What's that?" Asked Lexington.
"Be careful who you trust." Replied Kyle.
Lex then smiled as did Goliath.
Brooklyn and Broadway came down for a landing.
"We just watched the news." Said Broadway.
"The Pack's been arrested." Said Brooklyn.
"They have photographs of Fox holding a woman hostage." Said Brooklyn.
Hudson then walked over.
"I thought they were the good guys." Said Hudson.
"You can't always believe what you see on TV." Said Kyle as Willow nodded.
"Now lad, is good advice." Said Hudson.
"I still can't believe Aunt Fox was a bad guy." Said Willow.
"Aunt Fox?" Asked Everyone in surprise.
"My mother's sister." Replied Willow like it was no big deal.
The gargoyles then took their place in the ledges and position themselves.
The sun then came out and the gargoyles turned to stone.
Meanwhile Owen was in prison visiting Xanatos.
"Everything was done as you stipulated, sir." Said Owen as he was sitting on a chair with a table far away from Xanatos with his wife sitting next to him.
"The cable TV was adjusted so that the only program the gargoyles could see was the Pack's." Said Owen.
"The Pack received the mysterious envelope of photographs and reacted just as you predicted and luckily Willow was not involved in this incident." Said Owen.
"We can take that as a win." Said Jane.
"Yes, but a pity nothing else happened according to plan." Said Owen.
Xanatos looked at Owen.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that, Owen, thought they didn't know it was me, I created the Pack to be far more than just a TV show, I had to see how good they were, and having underestimated Goliath once before, I need to know what he was capable of as well." Said Xanatos as he explained.
"All in all, I'd say the test was most, informative." Said Xanatos as he smirked.
