Mega Adventures of Merida

by Aeonmaster Aeroza

A child ended up in the wrong place, at the right time in the presence of a odd attack to her, and changed her for good then worse. She is then raised to the fullest to then take on the hidden threats of this realm has to offer with the aid of certain heroes or villains as such. She is Merida, and this is mostly her story along with those involved.

2. We Are The Night, of Sorts?

Announcement:

This chapter is where things get tense as such, however, and also a lot of unexpected things such as the one fight that's possible in the next chapter… I may have a few AU Ideas as such than the one the Movie had, but the outcome should be the same (Sorry if it is a minor spoiler, but I just had to get that out).

There may also be fictional characters in this chapter, but with also an interesting outcome as well done from an AU Episode dubbed "The Reckoning", and all I have to say is this quote to those that know them: "One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness, it was a world of fear, it was the age of—-. Stone by day, warriors by night, we were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken and we live again! We are defenders of the night, we are —-!" (Blank spots are a giveaway lol).

So with that being said: I do not own any franchise mentioned in this new story I wrote. I only own the plot or ideas I used to do this as such, and my own Personal OC's yet allowed others to use their own as submitted as such from My Profile or mentioned in my works. If I did, then perhaps an AU would have been done for Dragon Ball Super by merging universe 6-7 as one, and redeeming a few certain villains; but as a price of becoming female, due to their actions (Another Idea Possibly for Zerina).

There is also some news as well: I will be having new chapters up son for my stories within August or Sooner, as I mentioned at the end part of the chapter I am working on Chapter 4 of this story, and the others I have, alongside my new one: Camelia and Jade Adventures to wrap-up Season One of the Show itself.

Main Crossover Idea: Megamind, Harry Potter, Marvel, and DC, and with other franchises characters permanently stuck (When it occurs) in this reality of the story as they would be fictional, and locations may end up into their reality as well.

Three days later (August 4th, 2008), in Roxanne's Apartment:

---

"It's ok Sparkle, just take your time," Roxanne expressed assuredly next to Merida as she agreed to personally attempt and help her Godchild on her speech while sadly, just one look at her form and they refused instantly and thinking she was an unusual relation to Megamind or even worse.

Merida took a few small breaths and tried once again to at least say her name as suggested by her Godmother, and her voice croaky slightly when she did, "M… Mer… Mer- Cough, cough!"

Roxanne hastily patted her Godchild's back a few times as Merida herself gave her a sad glance in return before gazing away disappointed, "It's ok Sparkle… We both realize you won't get it right away. Things like this from what I read takes time and patients." Roxanne gently consoled the girl as Merida sighed yet nodded in half-agreement yet personally, she wanted to talk immediately and talk as anyone else would.

Seeing her Godchild like this was heartbreaking for Roxanne before an indication or idea came to her, and her words made Merida tilt her head to the right curiously, by her suggestion, "Perhaps you want to help me figure out what Megamind is still planning?"

Merida appeared to be thinking about this for a few moments as her tail was lazily moving along with her eyes dulled from her pupils a few times before smiling small at her Godmother when they got up and headed to the room Roxanne presently has crammed with random stuff and such that held information or theories she possibly had and recreating slowly what Megamind had within his lair still.

Though they were cards hanging up, of course.

Merida seems confused by all the objects in the room just hanging there to amuse Roxanne as she shook her head with a small laugh, and made Merida do an 'Oh' impression by the woman's explained words briefly to her and also checking some of the information cards she did as well, "This is merely how I organize things sometimes when it comes to Plans from Megamind… If you encounter him, Sparkle," Merida gazed at her Godmother as she had a soft yet serious look on her face, "Just stay clear of his path, and just hide somewhere until he's gone, and come straight home… Ok?"

Merida nodded to relieve her while she started with assistance from with the child, and things, and placed them in specific parts of the room for approximately ten or so minutes until she saw Merida was just getting preoccupied yet was glad she assisted slightly, "Perhaps you can go to the same park while I finish up here, and meet you later on?"

Merida nodded with a relieved smile to amuse Roxanne and gave her at least ten dollars to spend, and Merida took off with the renewed outfit she wore as Roxanne also tickled that the child's magic kept refreshing said outfit for her to wear.

---

At the park now, twenty minutes later, Merida tried to dismiss the hurt she felt when people saw her yet it was difficult.

At least some were nice to me to point me in the right direction, to the same park... she thought to herself as she took a deep breath, and let out some air with a cute sighing to herself as oddly enough, sitting not too far away from where Megamind in disguise, along with Minion as to the child's cloud gazing location, are the trio themselves just being finished training Hal for the day.

It amazed the two how simple it was after taking Minion's advice and adjusting their training for him, and it worked out better than ever… Although he was almost done, he wasn't all that ready.

Megamind, still disguised as Jor-El, gives Hal a present box that contains the special gift he made to get his "Hero Gig" started, sitting on a park bench as such, "Hal, I think you're possibly ready for this."

Hal opens and takes out a really small superhero costume (Same as the Movie), yet it was small, and Megamind rolled his eyes without Hal noticing, however, when he then raised a question to him in curious curiosity, "Do I have a son?"

Megamind had his arms behind his head as he explained briefly to him with Hal nodding his head in immediate understanding, "No. Ha… Ha! You make me laugh. It stretches, it's for you."

Hal was curious once again to get Megamind to briefly look at him before gazing at the amazing scenery of the city from where they were, "Hey, what's the 'T' stand for?" Shrugging, Megamind was then honest with the man, "It's for the name Tighten. The only name I could trademark."

Hal seemed pleased by this as Minion came over with Hal placing the outfit on his lap before turning to his so-called "Space Dad", as Megamind began informing him things with him responding to the last part as he heard every word, "... Do you perhaps have anyone of interest in your life?" Hal placed a hand to his chin while his elbow was on his knee, and used his super gaze to gaze right at Roxanne's Apartment as she was close to a breakthrough slightly yet was still peering into things and holding two cards up, "Yeah… I do."

Megamind simply nodded as they then both saw Minion come over with churros oddly enough, and they each grabbed one as Megamind commenced celebrating Hal's successful training so far while they all declared his superhero name aloud at once.

This caught Merida's attention as she was coming over, and blinked and hid still in confusion as to why the fishy man was wearing a wig, and an old man from the same Superman Movie that Roxanne let her watch, was here, and with a buffed man with curly hair.

Once Hal took off while thanking Megamind, the man himself sighed with Merida going wide eyes and looking at her skin tone, and back to him before mentally claiming to herself if they were the same, particularly since he came off as familiar, "At last he's almost ready… But were the churros necessary, Minion?"

Minion shrugged as he placed another churro into his food port his robotic suit has and started eating his and replying slyly to get an amused stare from Megamind by his excuse, in a retort, "Anytime is churro time. You know that about me, Sir."

Chuckling, he glanced in Merida's direction and froze as she did at being caught, and Minion was confused by his actions until the blue-skinned male turned his only family member around to only blink then in shock, at this, "What is she doing here, Sir?"

Megamind shrugged yet strides over to the immediately scared child and was then within moments hovering over her head and noting to Minion, "I think it's time we took another hostage for the day... Don't you agree, Minion?" Minion though was shocked yet was relieved as he oddly winked at him before glancing back at Merida, who was still stiff in fear that even her tail was frozen.

Seeing this, he sighed before instructing Minion to get the spray and getting stunned as once Merida inhaled it, she sniffled and then commenced to sneeze, and when she did, they were shocked before hastily ducking as a lightning bolt came from her mouth as at the same time (when she kept silent/croaked sneezing), random things began occurring within the park to amaze them.

A tree uprooted itself and turned into the ones you would see in cartoons, and danced the jive.

A few pigeons nearby were turned into animal secret agents that took off in hushed voices.

The same park bench Megamind sat on changed into a metal stag and was running away from them in fright.

Some books that were placed in the trash as the former reader was done with them... Manga Books that is, closed and without realizing the consequences of both Villains actions, made those characters alive and immediately part of their world along with the location furthermore are adjusted adequately, and few printed images of characters the designer made up for ''Nintendo'' made real (1) for a project no longer running because of losing the images.

There were also unexpected rain clouds that appeared above a random passers' head that rained oddly enough, chocolate milk with mint.

It was utter chaos until Megamind covered the girl's nose shortly and soon made the child pass out as her magic was acting up from that and most of the chaos halting, while the rest was still occurring. "Uhhh… Let's not mention this at all, agreed?" Megamind warily remarks as they saw the chaos that was occurring for just one child, and Minion nodded as they had no choice but to take her with them then.

Once in the Invisible Car, Minion decided to give an idea to Megamind as to presently worry and with Megamind realizing this as Merida was passed out in the backseat and buckled for safety, "Perhaps you should text Ms. Ritchie that you have her as Bernard, Sir, and willing to watch her for the night?"

"Seems like a good idea to me Minion… Now where did I set the-" "Here Sir, it was in the dash," Minion states while interrupting him briefly and he looked mixed with being irked with relief and dialed her number.

Once it rang a few times, Roxanne answered with a 'Hello' to him, "Hey it's me, Bernard. I found Merida passed out in the park and I decided, well, with your permission, to watch over her for the night… If you don't mind, that is?"

On her end, Roxanne was relieved as she was starting to worry over her Godchild, and was about to go out and search for her while realizing she was still going on with her investigation yet was moreover close yet disregarded about her, she agreed immediately, "That's fine Bernard as she trusts you enough… Although I was surprised she connected to you that soon."

Megamind just nodded at his end while Minion seemed surprised by that as he glanced to secretly stun them both as Merida was strangely purring in her sleep, like a large cat in contempt, "Yes… Especially from her background, in which: How was the search for those awful caretakers of hers?"

They heard Roxanne sigh yet she answered and hearing oddly enough, paper being thrown, "Not so well I'm afraid. That part of Merida's Society can't find them as if they vanished from the face of the Earth or something… But I'm glad it's making it simpler though for me to keep Merida then."

Megamind decided to raise a question as Merida's purring was softly going on still as Minion oddly heard Roxanne laugh lightly at his question, "Did you know she purrs while sleeping?"

"She has been for the last two days… I find it cute yet if you see her mouth open when she does that, I had to soundproof my home with some assistance from the American Wizards here. Let's just say it sounds like a roar you would hear from that Gargoyle show that's returned recently… She watches it at night," Roxanne states before clarifying shortly at the end to get the two amused by that as they were almost several blocks away from The Lair, "It is a good show for kids around her age… I will let you know now and then how Merida's doing as I'm nearing my home, ok?"

Roxanne nodded at her end while she found another piece of the puzzle to her research, and stated kindly back before hanging up, "Will do… Thanks for everything, and goodbye."

Once the phone on Megamind's end clicked, and he closed the flip phone it was the perfect outcome as they arrived.

"So Minion… What were the ingredients within the Spray again?" Megamind decided to ask the fish alien to blink before thinking carefully while he also listed the ingredients with his robotic fingers, "Well Sir… There is water, of course, Extracted Dawn Laundry Soap, CLR, that rare flower essence you tend to grow... In which I think it wasn't the cause, paprika, cinnamon spice, onions, powdered cocoa, nail polish remover-" "Whoa… Back up. What was the last third ingredient you stated?" Blinking at this, Minion repeated the word to him in confusion, "Onions, Sir… Why, what is it?"

"Roxanne and I recently found out she was allergic to onions when she offered Steak and Onions- Don't stare at me like that, she offered a free meal and I was hungry," Megamind acknowledged before he explained with a glance at the raised eyebrow Minion had yet shrugged in acceptance at that as they got out the car, and Minion was soon getting the child from the backseat, "So she did all that due to the Onions, Sir?"

"Yes and possibly to a few others as well… But let's just take her inside as we need to also prepare for the eventual battle between me, and Tighten… We have to make sure it goes perfectly." Megamind then states with hidden excitement mixed with being kind yet firm to Minion while also being amused as the fishy alien got that look in his orbs about making a new outfit, and Megamind instantly figured by now as he was the main outfitter for him, they went inside and Megamind snatched the carpet this time to conceal their entrance.

Once inside, Megamind ducked as his Brainbots proceeded to swarm them both yet backed off when Minion, instantly ready for this, tossed a wrench he had on him away as all of the Brainbots took off after it as they went to the lounge-part of their lair.

The lounge itself was like an average lounge, but Megamind Themed.

The child stirred slightly yet settled down and her tail lazily went back and forth as Minion laid Merida on the leather couch with a black blanket nearby on her, and went over to see that Megamind brought out a folder… Further specifically, Hal's and Merida's folder, "Why do you have the Child's Folder as well, Sir? I thought we established that she unlocked a Mutant Genome and placed it to rest?"

Megamind shrugged while gesturing to the sleeping child that twitched a few times in her slumber, "What she did with her allergic reaction, was different from what I previously read from Roxanne's Books about magical children as it was… Well…" "Chaotic in Nature, Sir?" Minion implied as Megamind snapped his gloved fingers at Minion and agreed with him there, "Exactly."

Heading over to a table and opening both folders and quick-reading them at once, Megamind was slightly frustrated as he explained to Minion, "Each time we scanned her... Her genetic structure, Minion, showed anomalies that don't belong to Natural Born Witches and Wizards... Even the Pureblood Variety like Merida still is," he showed the marked genetic data that showed abnormal genes to his fishy friend as the DNA Strand was that purple color yet it was mixed with red for human, shining orange and ice-blue for the anomalies, and also had hints of golden strands too, "I still can't place where or how those different genes come into play… But for Hal's is obvious for a mix of him and Metroman, that seems to be at least temporary."

Minion thought of this for a few moments yet simply shrugged to get Megamind to groan until they rapidly grabbed the sides of their heads and were quickly staring at the child in horrified fascination, as she indeed roared yet cutely to when a female gargoyle awakens, while she slept still, a few times, "It seems Ms. Ritchie wasn't kidding, Sir!"

Megamind saw a glass of water as he couldn't take it anymore and before Minion could stop him, tossed the water on the child to immediately wake her up in fright and also at the same time, they ducked as she breathed icy/molten fire-based flames that were ice blue and golden yellow at a billboard they had as it oddly enough, froze up like an ice cube.

Merida panted while sitting up as it wasn't just Megamind's actions, but also a nightmare she barely recalled about, and blinked her dazed eyes and looked at herself and not aware of her current surroundings, Why am I wet?

She soon froze at remembering things before slowly glancing and noticing she was not in her room back at her Godmother's Home, but in Megamind's Lair, she guessed, and saw both Megamind gazing at her awkwardly along with Minion as he waved slightly while staring at her, unsure-like, "Hollo."

The two saw Merida was stiff in fear then and with her eyes looking immediately to be gradually filling with water and freaking Megamind out instantly as he waved his hands at the child, "No, no. Don't cry please-" Merida commenced to cry silently with a few hiccup-like raspy sounds as she did so from understanding that she was still mute, yet slowly healing.

"Now you did it, Sir," Minion states in disapproval before heading over to the child and getting his spare towel out of his robotic arm, and proceeded to dry the somewhat silent yet crying, shivering child down.

"How was I supposed to realize it would make her cry? You know I never dealt with children in The Lair before," Megamind states as Minion sighed since he was able to calm her down and rubbed the girl's back gently with explaining things to him as he discreetly read about abused children and how to handle them, "You needed to have taken a softer approach due to her… The situation, Sir, and possibly communicate softly as she is waking up. And generally treat her as you would a child, but more gently, and also try to keep her interests to distract her flashbacks she would tend to get."

Nodding at this, Minion recognizing the child looked currently to be in curious wonder after calming down, and Megamind also eyeing this sighed while glancing at the child's throat a few times with an unexpected indication that came back into his head, from recalling the idea that backfired at the time and confused Minion then, "I may have something until she speaks… Be right back."

Minion was going to stop him yet sighed as he was then gone, and stared at the tilted head of Merida at him as her eyes were wide in wonder along with confusion presently as he just shrugged, and amassed an idea to get the child to show interest at that and with being hesitant from fear showing in her orbs, again, from her abuse, "How about we play a card game?"

Megamind, though as time passed, has been looking into the storage room they had filled with their older inventions and other things, and remembered the very one they made so long ago during their earlier times for Metroman, was in here somewhere. "Come on… Belt Laser, the old Egg Hatchery 3k- May place that to the side, The Dimension Viewer- Again may place that to the side, that odd green gem I found that looks like a Diamond, those unusual balls, the weird gemstones with runes on them, the orange gemstone I found near the area of Stonehenge that one time, a sealed seed, another unusual gemstone in shape of a flower I found in my time before that old church burnt down in the outskirts of England as a secret, that box containing a fire opal, those unusual bouncy balls with numbers on them in that one bag, that one odd book that I stole from that one shopkeeper who died years ago after it was just returned, nope, not touching that…" he shivered from the items in that one small chest he had gained from the Villainy College Frat Fraternity he went to, secretly, "The few sets of unusual disks I got cheaply with an iguana logo on them from the Black Market just like the few other items I have in here… Oh, there is the one Body-Freeze Taser I was looking for a few years I invented, but that's not it… Where is the blasted thing!"

Megamind set things to the side and was still looking for a lot of unusual inventions, until at last as he took nearly a half-hour to find it, he sighed with relief, "Finally."

The item he held in his hand was a choker collar that was in his theme, but there was circuitry with, oddly enough, an emerald gem in the center, and in between that though was special-like fiber he made for this very invention, "Oh-ho... I think this will make things easier for all of us."

Once Megamind returned after placing things back in order the way he grabbed them, he deadpanned at what he was peering within the lounge, "Really? You're teaching the child how to play Poker, Minion?"

Indeed as it oddly seems, to slightly surprise the blue-skinned man, that Minion was losing against a child who was staring at her cards cutely yet also with a gaze of concentration. The wagering chips though were chocolate chip cookies Minion made earlier this morning before training Hal, as the batch, strangely, made at least twenty-four cookies.

"Well, Sir… I thought it was a good game and she seems interested in it. Even though it's her first time, she's good once I explained how it went," Minion states as he had a Straight Flush yet to make him gap like Megamind soon did, Merida despite enjoying herself, revealed she easily had a Royal Flush and gathered all the cookies that was wagered, "How do you keep winning? This is like the third time in a row you got that hand fair and square."

Merida shrugged as she popped a whole cookie into her mouth before adding another, and another, and so on to then make them gap once more as her cheeks were full before she swallowed it, after chewing as well, and looked away at their faces while blushing. Minion wasn't exaggerating as I still can't believe how much food she could intake at a time.

They blinked through as Merida's eyes soon glowed when she looked at the unsorted cards, and all the cards floated before they started to rearrange themselves and shuffling as anyone would do, and gently landed on the table before sending the right amount of cards back randomly into both Merida and Minion's hands, "Yeah Sir, her eyes tend to do that sometimes if she wants to play still," Minion decided to state as he drew a card to get Megamind's big brain to work at this meaning with hidden excitement yet placed that for later

He soon got Merida's interest as some of the room's light glinted on that gem around the invention Megamind was still holding onto, and with Minion blinking before being astonished by a hint of surprise on his fish face with him eventually motioning to it, "Sir… Is that?"

"Behold… The M.A.G.I.T.C. (Most Intellectual Awesome Gem Infused Telepathy Communicator)!" Megamind proudly states as Merida only seems perplexed by what he meant with the duo watching her tail swishing slowly back and forth, and Minion understood better than the child as he asked in realization, "You think it would work better on her then your animal subjects that… Well, I really shouldn't speak in front of the child?"

"Without a doubt Minion as they didn't have enough energy output to use it. So with that being said…" Megamind started before making Merida jump as he moved quickly yet did so: He placed the choker collar on Merida.

She stiffened since the gem glowed as they both stood back as that one energy formed all around her before some of it was sucked into the gem itself, and both Megamind and Minion oddly enough thought they saw a symbol of sorts that was burned into their minds before it faded along with the glow of the gem, and she leaned back before silently panting.

After a few moments, the child hesitantly yet gently touched the gem and choker and thinking and not even realizing her voice was being used and watching the lines move on the side of the Collar itself to let them understand she was speaking her thoughts, and the gem dimly glowing as well, "What is this… This thing?"

Megamind thought the thought-based voice suited her as it was slightly British and with it oddly enough, sounding just like Jamie Marchi (2), but younger.

"It works… It works, Sir," Minion states in awe as Merida didn't at all acknowledge she spoke yet tilted her head as her tail went back and forth slowly, in confusion that is, before thinking her thoughts, "What did he mean by it working?"

"What Minion states, Young Merida, is that my device that was meant for voicing the wearers' thoughts, well, if they were mute or otherwise, actually works." Megamind tells the child while she was in shock that he heard her, and paused before listening along with her mind slowly comprehending what he just said, "I can talk… Wait… I can hear my voice!"

Unlike her, due to her happiness to hear her voice at long last for such a long time, she started jumping on the couch in excitement a few times before tripping and landing on her back.

"So thoughtful Sir. I wonder how Ms. Ritchie would think of this?" Minion whisper/stated as they heard Merida declared she was ok, before resuming on jumping on the couch once again in her happiness, "Possibly lying while claiming as Bernard, was able to steal some of my stuff and the child thought it was a necklace, yet spoke as she is now once she placed it on." Megamind whispered back before looking at the child as she froze mid-jump and looked at him hesitantly then, "Now… Consider that a gift for… Well, just a gift."

He didn't at all expect the hug Merida gave him while he at the same time awkwardly patted her back before she froze, and confused them.

One moment she was happy as she could be before that switched to her now curled into a ball of fear on the couch and inwardly fuming at the caretakers she used to be with as she muttered-thought out loud, "Hugging is bad… Hugging is bad, I don't want to get hit… Hugging is bad."

Megamind didn't comprehend what to do yet Minion did as he went over, and did the same thing to calm her down for the next several minutes.

Once she was calmed down with small tears in her orbs again, she looked away in shame before blinking as Megamind, not Minion, stared at her directly in her eyes while he for once asserted with a small, understanding look, "You have no blame but them for your… Conditioning. What I see is just a sweet, shy, mutated little girl that has a big heart, and she's willing to give it to those she cares for."

Minion was sorta surprised yet was confidentially proud of him, and mentally thought as the child hesitantly hugged him without fear this time, and watching Megamind just let it happen. Well, it looks like Sir discreetly has a soft spot for kids… Perhaps there is hope for an heir yet in his future.

A few hours later since it was getting close to diner time, the child was coloring with some spare paper and few crayons they had as kids from that storage room, and oddly enough, a few Brainbots observed her as Merida, to Megamind's annoyance briefly, petted the same one that bit his hand before Metroman's demise while raspily giggling as the bot licked her hand.

Though they were confused by some of the childish drawings she did that were half-good like before, with some unusual characters in it, along with a humanoid woman that resembled a human-like, female Bowser as well hugging the child with hearts above her head (3).

There were others, but they weren't focused on that as Megamind while the child was distracted, was finishing the final training plans he was to do for Hal, and Minion was making dinner for them all.

After tossing a crumpled-up paper in his third attempt of a plan to end Hal's training in a way Minion alongside him was doing, sighed to himself, Come on! I can usually think of things on the fly that goes well at least, I wonder why- Megamind paused mid-thought as he saw next to him when looking, was a curious Merida and her arms were behind her back while her tail went back and forth normally, "What is it?"

Megamind blinked before looking away from the child nervously by her innocent words from the choker then as she smiled at him, "Hi Bernard… How come your Megamind, yet back at Auntie Ritchie's, you're normal?"

Recognizing that the child was somewhat bright yet still a little girl, he went to his watch and changed into his Bernard Disguise and making the child silently gap at him in awe mixed with being confused still, if the head tilt didn't show it, "It's just a disguise generally, not the real me child…" Megamind switched back before being perplexed by the child's curious question next, "You can be anyone from that thingy?"

"Yes…" Where is she going with this? Megamind hesitantly answers while also thinking to himself, and blanched at the thought-based words with gleaming eyes he didn't like, "Can you change into Demona or even Elisa Maza?! They're my favorite besides a few others!"

Of course, the child would bring that show up, but- Megamind unexpectedly had an inkling to maybe please the child yet also try out an invention that he was also hoping to use on Metroman before his demise, if they still fought, "Perhaps... Would you like to meet them?"

It appears he stumped her while she asked innocently, tilting her head to the other way as her tail lazily wiggled, "How can I meet them if they are not here?" Megamind only chuckled as he got up, and the child followed him as he simply asserted in mystery, "Perhaps you'll just have to find out for yourself."

After a few moments of walking, Megamind came to a door that was labeled "Holographic Realism Chamber", and opened it to reveal inside the large room a dome of sorts that had a slide-in/outdoor, and was mostly metal in the design along with a monitor and keyboard, "Behold… The device to bring your dreams into a true-life experience!"

Merida was fully confused as she was moved by Megamind to the slide-in door, and was shoved inside as it lit up, and on the outside, he turned the device on with showing her within the monitor looking on in both fear and wonder, and Megamind pushed a button as a microphone came out of the right side and went and hit him on the head briefly before positioning it to where his face is before taping it as well, "Testing, can you hear me… Just nod your head."

Merida did just that while looking astonished slightly to amuse him, "This was meant for another plot idea for Metroman yet from your wish, well… Why not make it a reality for you. Although I have a question: Did you watch all the episodes that the show had or did you only watch some?"

Merida looked to be thinking yet made the hand sign for yes, and held up her fingers for the first set to make Megamind sweat drop yet figured out she may have watched it either with or secretly from her former caregivers, "Alright, well to satisfy your curiosity, I am simply going to send you right into the show itself as anything that occurs, will be real for you as well."

Megamind was thinking he had the DVD Set for that show, and popped in one of them from the Mega-Ray Drive he has along with setting it to a certain period within the show and not glimpsing the machine sparked briefly while Merida's eyes glowed as her magic sent itself into the device and altering the programming for something… unexpected then he designed, "With my Mega-Ray Driver recently installed into this... Any DVD or advanced disc can play, even video games as well. So I will check on you in a half of an hour, and see how you're faring within the disillusioned world it sets up for you, as you won't come to harm while it runs."

Before Merida could try and dissuade him and with her moving her hands frantically, he turned it on before leaving her, and using this time to still gaze into the further plans for finishing Hal's training.

What he didn't comprehend was that the machine was reworked as a dimensional transporter with specifics redone for the said person only within it now, and sent her to that time and dimension.

---

Merida covered her eyes before blinking in confusion and saw she was in New York at nighttime.

The child then saw she was in an alleyway, and decided to go out of it as it was scary from her thinking it aloud, and had her mouth in awe as there was a lot of people going about their business for themselves, and she gaped at glimpsing a familiar tower of sorts farther away (like seventy miles away in fact), as it was Xanatos' Tower along with beholding the old castle on it as well. "Did Megamind send me truly into one of many favorite shows that I watched privately from them?"

Merida stilled while remembering what Megamind stated yet she oddly enough, felt she should still be cautious as her tail swished gently back and forth as she gazed to her left, then to her right before noticing a cloak and glimpsing herself, shortly grabbed the tan-colored item and covered herself with it before walking randomly.

Although, if she was paying attention like all the supposed-illusions from her mind as well, she would have noticed a familiar Gargoyle Woman peering at her in curiosity and shock as she was the sole entity that saw her arrival before she decided to follow her.

Merida decided to find the park from the show itself, yet sadly… She got lost as she clung that cloak tighter to her frame, and she faltered yet conceded to ask a random stranger where it was.

The child saw someone perfect that looked to be someone familiar to her, yet shrugged as she went over along with not trying to bump into people that barely noticed her, and tugged the man's sleeve.

The male appeared to be in his late twenties with Weasley-Colored hair along with blue eyes and wore a tan trench coat with a black suit with a white undershirt and black tie, and brown loafers.

This was Matt Bluestone and is Elisa Maza's partner as a Police Detective.

Matt looked down slightly and was confused by the person tugging his coat and inquired cautiously, "Yes… How can I help you?" He did see strange eyes under the hood yet was startled as the person sounded like a child, a girl to be precise, by her question, "Excuse me Mr., do you know which way is the Park?"

Matt shrugged as he didn't realize it was her collar speaking for her yet answered Merida gently, "Sure kid. Take Twelve Avenue and keep going at least a few blocks, and take a left. You can't miss it as you are not that far off." Merida nodded her head in wordless thanks and commenced walking in that direction.

I wonder why a child was alone… "Hey Matt- Hey, what is it?" A woman remarked to get the man to turn around, and she had a slender yet athletic build, olive skin tone (Like Disney's Pocahontas), red lips, long dark blue hair, brown eyes. She was at least 5'7 in height from the man's 6 foot and amassed at least a high C-Cup while the outfit she wore consists of black boots, light blue jeans, a black shirt, and a red leather jacket.

This was Elisa Maza, and she was carrying a bag of donuts for them both, and an extra bag as her excuse for the Clan back at headquarters.

"You see that kid over there walking away still," Matt motioned to get Elisa to be suspicious of why a child would need a cloak of sorts yet they both deadpanned as she seemed lost yet still followed the direction Matt gave Merida, "What of it?" Elisa was appointed to state as he shrugged before pondering something, "Well I figured it was weird a girl like her be wandering the streets at night currently, oh well. At least she wanted directions."

Once they were in the car, Elisa oddly enough, felt the desire to go after the child and asked Matt as he paused at holding his seat belt in his car, and looked at her in small bewilderment, "Did she say where she wanted to head to?"

"The Park is where she asked- Hey what are you doing?" Matt answers honestly yet wondered where Elisa was going, "It's not safe currently for kids at night Matt. I'm surprised you forgot about the details of those recent kidnappings." Elisa states as Matt soon face palmed briefly to himself since he decided to give her a lift, and the donuts forgotten within the car itself, as they silently followed the child on foot.

Meanwhile, with Merida, she sighed after finally finding the Park and looked on with relief as she thought oddly enough, for the last ten minutes that is of being within the center of it, someone was following her yet shrugged as she continued and not knowing the two detectives following her alongside the Gargoyle Female, discreetly within the sky.

Finding a bench a few minutes later, she sat down with a sigh yet felt stuff in the cloak to which, appeared in her one room by her magic in her dimension's dresser, and not realizing both detectives were hiding behind a tree with that Gargoyle Female also close by yet in a few trees away from them as they saw the child look left, then right, and then silently sighing to herself as when they saw her take it off.

Both of them blinked in shock at how she looked as Merida shook her head, and was happy she found a perfect spot to openly gaze at the stars, and her tail swishing back and forth lazily as she did so.

"It is a child… Right, Elisa?" Matt asked quietly to his partner as she, in turn, rolled her eyes and expressed the same way to not rouse the child's daydream-like state from watching the night sky, "Of course she is, she seems to be an early eight-year-old child… A strange one that is." I think I need to let Matt handle this while I go get the guys.

"So what should we do? Nab her or what?" Matt inquired once again with his eyes being unsure of what to do here, and Elisa sighed before giving him a look, "I will go back and get the car while you go over there and keep an eye on her, ok Matt?" Matt nodded as Elisa did just that, but headed over to the station instead.

Matt hesitated yet before he could, he felt off and fell asleep within seconds from a temporary spell the Gargoyle Female did to him, smirked, and glided over to the child and thanking inwardly about the one Silent Spell her former teacher back then taught her, and landed gently a few feet behind the child.

She is a female gargoyle with a shock of red hair that would be close to Lily's (Merida's Birth Mother) if she retained it and pale blue skin. She also wore a gold tiara, a pair of earrings, an armband, and an anklet as decorative jewelry. She also seems to favor midriff-baring halter tops that hang off of one shoulder.

This was Demona, a former female Gargoyle from a certain clan.

Merida was too occupied by the mere sight of the sky to recall her surroundings as Demona wondered how a child as such as her existed, however, decided the direct approach would be better, and once she sat down and spoke, she spooked the child slightly yet she oddly enough, went wide eyes and as if she recognized her, "Hello child… What are you doing out here by yourself?"

Noticing she was getting no response, Demona made her jump once again by asking her a little loud yet firmly then as she tapped the metal bench, "I asked you a question: What are you doing out here by yourself?"

Demona was once rarely startled by mainly staring at the collar and then at the child to figure out within moments she was mute, yet also wondered where she got that strange device from as it seems profitable if copied, as Merida answers back to her hesitantly from the collar speaking for her, "I… I was just going to sit and see… Where to go next."

"You're hesitating… Are you perhaps nervous about seeing myself?" Demona asked to stun her, as the child shook her head and since she figured it was an illusion of her show, Merida decided to be honest with her, "No, Ms. Demona. I'm just trying to enjoy myself before Mr. Megamind comes and gets me from whatever this place is."

How does she know who I am… Wait… "What do you mean, child?" Demona inquired while being curious, and wondered before being alarmed by what the child admitted before looking away, "Mr. Megamind told me his thingy would send me into my favorite show I have been watching for some time. And I was also hoping to meet certain people that I like about the show."

"Well… Can you state anything of who you favored then… What is your name perhaps?" The name froze her to her core as she believed the last of that name was wiped out, yet if the girl was truthful since she was not in her birth world anymore, "Merida Potter, Mam, and… And I was hoping to meet Ms. Elisa, Mr. Puck since he's funny, Ms. Fox, Bronx, Ms. Angela, and… Well, you Ms. Demona."

"Me? Why would you want to meet me?" And who is this Angela she is talking about? Demona asked gently this time while oddly enough, to her surprise, the child was magical to boot, "Cause despite what you do… You seem able to stand up for yourself and be brave, yet see things done. Unlike back when I… When I was with them." Merida shivered as Demona narrowed her eyes briefly at smelling fear by the end of her words by not her, but something else, and placed a closed hand gently on the child's shoulder and noting the flinch before she decided to state, and making Merida stare at her in minor surprise, "Well as a Hatchling, to let you merely wander around by yourself… How old are you anyway?"

"E-Eight, Ms. Demona," Merida responded to get Demona to blink at this with inward shock without showing it as her heart for once, felt sympathetic from smelling she wasn't at all human yet… She seems secretly powerful to be here.

"Perhaps since I currently have no plans… You want me to see to you until you're sent back?" Demona states while inwardly was surprised she asked or even offered to do so, Why did I even do that?

It seems it was the right response as Merida gazed at her with amazement mixed with a few others in her special orbs, "You… You will?"

Demona nodded as she grabbed the child, and was amused as she gently yet to her surprise, strongly gripped her to the point she would stay in like hatchlings would back then, and started to climb a random tree before using the wind to glide into the air and not discerning that a certain trickster overheard everything and decided to let things play out before heading back.

Police Headquarters and Home of the Manhattan Clan:

---

A certain group of Gargoyles was about to take off from a tip they overheard from last night's unfortunate meeting with Xanatos and Fox and were offended to their surprise at a chance to return to the Castle itself.

However, they were surprised by the capture on-site paper that even surprised the multimillionaire man and co., by an unusual group dubbed Shadow Corp. as such.

Currently, they were still thinking about the offer while doing things as it was a slow night.

The leader, Goliath who is twenty-nine in Gargoyle Years, is an impressive figure. He is a tall and powerfully-built gargoyle with lavender skin and dark hair. He, like a few others within his Clan, wore trousers of sorts with a belt. He was currently taking in tales to another that's his child by the name of Angela, as she was eighteen and a half in Avalon years, is tall and also slender with long dark hair worn in a ponytail as she has inherited her father's lavender complexion, although her features are mostly closer to Demona's, and she wore a two-piece, one that was more reminiscent of Demona's typical style.

The three younger males and with one blushing being caught staring at Angela and was also part of the Clan, with them being eighteen in Gargoyle Years.

The first one was a gargoyle with a slimmer physique than his rookery brothers, red skin, black eyes, a long beak-like mouth and jaw, and a wild mane of snow-white hair. He also has two horns sticking out of his forehead. He also wears a dark blue tunic-like wrap around his lower half.

This was Brooklyn and he was Second-In-Command in case Goliath is missing or worse.

The Second was smaller than them by a lot, and because of this, his large eyes, and his reedy voice, looks younger than he is. His most distinguishing feature is his wings, which are attached to his arms in a web-like structure, evocative of the wings of a flying squirrel. His wings are pierced, which allows him to wear a loincloth. He has khaki-colored skin and a hairless head.

This was Lexington, and he was their technology expert.

The last was a large, round, and bluish green-skinned gargoyle, physically known as Broadway, is big and somewhat overweight with aquamarine skin, a bald head, and fin-like ears. Fitting his bulky size, Broadway has the widest wingspan among his Rookery brothers. He also has an underbite. He also wore a more less-torn yet wider loincloth than the others.

The two however on the couch and watching TV were a dog-like Gargoyle and an older male. The dog-like Gargoyle was known as Bronx, while the elder male Gargoyle in fifty-eight years of age in terms, is a portly old gargoyle, with tan-colored skin, ruddy orange wings, and white hair and beard. His most distinguishing feature, beyond these, is his blind left eye. He has three small horns on each side of his forehead. He wears a tough leather jerkin and trousers in addition to the loincloth more typical of his clan and carries a sword. Hudson (the name of the Elder Gargoyle), uses the sword because he feels that, with his strength failing as he ages, he needs some sort of human weapon to help even things out for him.

They were as mentioned, minding their own business, when Elisa came into the area.

Goliath in happiness was about to great her yet was then puzzled by her being upset with also troubled, and Angela oddly enough, giving her father a knowing glance, went over to the others and her growing crush: Broadway, while they chatted with each other, and he greeted Elisa with a hug, "What worries you, Elisa? Something occurred?"

"You can say that Goliath… I think I may have encountered a child in the Park, alone… And she isn't at all human," Elisa states to startle him as she commenced explaining things while the Clan heard the words, not human, and listened as well.

When she was done, Goliath seems to be contemplating something yet decided, and seeing it was the right choice as Elisa seemed to relax by his words, "I think we are all going out for tonight at the Park… Hudson," he turned to the Elder Gargoyle as he merely waved while watching old black and white shows, "Aye Lad, I'll keep the fort down while you lot go out and see to the mystery child. I usually do so anyway unless it is truly important." Goliath and the others chuckled at this as Bronx barked before laying down still as Hudson petted the Gargoyle Beast's Head gently.

Goliath let Elisa get on his back, as everyone else got to the gliding point, and began gliding to said location.

---

Meanwhile, back with Megamind:

---

"Oh, this is bad, very bad Sir," Minion states as Megamind was fiddling with the device yet had little success at all from it, "This is just a small mistake on my part Minion as I just wanted to at least give the child a chance to live her fantasy slightly-" "Yet you didn't intend at all for her to be sent away, did you, Sir?" Minion retorted lightly as Megamind didn't look yet rolled his eyes.

"I only left her for five minutes and decided to check on her early, and this happens… What would have caused it?" Megamind tells him yet also noted to himself while trying to get a diagnostic reading yet froze, and soon looked at Minion with wide eyes, "Perhaps Sir… Merida's Magic altered your machine for better suiting her wishes as after all, Sir, you did tell me you explained things?"

Minion then patted his Boss/Best Friend's back and mentally wincing as Megamind hit his head a few times before expressing in agreement, "How could I be so foolish. Of course, her magic would do this!"

"Well, Sir… Perhaps she would return on her own?" Minion suggested as he sighed while in half-agreement with him, "Perhaps as hopefully it isn't the next day. Otherwise, I will have to explain to Roxanne about her Godchild's predicament."

The two left without detecting a mass of darkness silently chuckling at them with its red eyes and vanished.

---

Back with Demona and Merida:

---

Demona was feeling slightly nostalgic as Merida was dozing on her as they have been flying for almost an hour, and returned to the Park as the child oddly enough as well, wanted to gaze at the stars.

They went to places in secret that she could stealthily take for 'Free Food' for themselves, and dealt with the bathroom issues.

The reason for her feelings, nevertheless as she tended to Hatchlings like this back then, felt a strange connection between her and the child as her wings silently flapped yet was amused by Merida's tail hitting her left side lazily to at least feel she was still there... And yet she ain't fully mine now, isn't she? Demona thought bitterly and then remembered all those years ago about the eggs and the castle.

Once she landed, she sighed as it seems the child refused to let go of her hold yet winced briefly as Merida snores as she was surprised by it, by a Gargoyles Roar of Awakening, "Perhaps that has to do with you being mute, Little One," Demona muttered to herself as she caught herself about to brush the child's hair, and held herself back.

The female gargoyle herself stiffened before hastily positioning with brief red eyes to hold Merida better as a dart almost got her if she didn't duck in time, and growled out from beholding men in suites loading up to what she thought was sleeping darts.

Demona then quickly ran while trying to nab any wind current to glide yet didn't at all feel any as they kept trying yet failing to shoot them both, to her realization, and kept running.

Above the Park at this time, Goliath and the others saw this occurring as the Park itself was swarming with the black-geared men with dart guns, and yet… They were surprised by Demona of all people, running from them with that exact child Elisa described.

"We will discuss why she has the child later, defend them both," Goliath declared to shock the three Rookery Brothers in disbelief, and making Angela curious why she looks familiar, and even Elisa with personal hope for maybe Demona and her daughter meeting from riding with the leader.

Below, the armed men eventually trapped Demona and a presently awake Merida who was scared yet also confused about what was going on, into a corner near the restrooms and aimed their dart guns.

Feeling so scared, Demona felt the child's magic was starting to go haywire and they witnessed Merida's eyes glowing as the men then shot the darts yet were startled along with the viewer of their employer from watching this from a remote drone, was as well by this unexpected development as the darts completely floated with light-blue energy within the air and was soon nearly a few inches near the men's faces before the objects themselves disintegrated into dust.

It was here Goliath and Co. barged into the scene as they commenced fighting off the armed men as both Elisa and Angela were heading over to the cornered duo, and Elisa placed the strange details of the child's eyes for later since Merida passed out on Demona and also with a glance for later at her as the now small group of four left by the plan Goliath has working.

Once they were vacated to a safer spot within Central Park, Demona to shock Elisa while Angela thought it was sweet, checked the child over firstly before glancing at Elisa firmly and declared, as she trusted another Gargoyle enough to give Merida to Angela, and with a growl being hinted, "Did you lead them to us?!"

Elisa quickly denied back in reply, however, with uncertainty in her orbs at this outcome, "No! We just came for the child yet ran into whatever was going on-" Elisa paused before staring at her accusingly, "What did you do with Matt?"

"You mean that male? I simply put him into a temporary sleeping spell as I was interested over a non-human child was all," Demona states yet blanched by Elisa's words next as the female detective appeared to be thinking only briefly, before her tone went to a sly one as Angela comforted the still scared child who was at this point being half-awake and silently crying, "You feel something for her, don't you?"

Shaking her head in denial while they started to move away in case they were being tracked, Demona then claimed in a low growl at her then, "I don't know what you're babbling about Maza. I imply you drop it if you realize what is truly worth your life," Demona pointed a clawed digit at Elisa's face to get Angela to frown and wondering who does this female Gargoyle think she was yet her main attention was present with the child as she snuggled while scared, into her effortlessly carrying hold.

Before Demona could deny Elisa once again by her look, she startled the female detective by shoving her out of the way, and for good reason as three darts that were meant for her, hit Demona instead.

Several more armed men came out of hiding by the use of camouflage technology, and surrounded them as Demona tried to fight the effects that shortly flowed within her bloodstream yet was failing as Elisa and Angela glared right at the leader presently that wore a white suit with an unusual insignia on it of a dragon roaring, chuckled without words, and made a signal that made the two females realize as they were all led and with Demona immediately being carried to a black van, that this was no ordinary group for sure.

It was pure, uncomfortable silence as the two more heavily-armed men were watching over them and Angela growled once the second one threatened, without words, to shoot the child as she was whimpering in place while being fully awake.

Both Angela and Elisa didn't discern how long they were on the road for yet eventually they came to an unexpected stop, and saw they were in the outskirts of New York, and more to the point nearby a cavern of some kind.

Getting shoved as a medical team took Demona, they were forcibly led into the caverns to astonish them as it was more technology-based than they realized yet they at all didn't recognize the rooms or what they contained, but they were then led to a room and left them there.

"I hope my employees didn't at all mistreat you… As that wasn't at all my intentions," a deep male voice states in the darkened part of the room, and they hear a click before revealing they were in a fancy-like office of sorts with two people… Or more like, a person and an unusual Goliath lookalike.

The one in charge oddly enough resembles Giovanni from the Pokémon Game, but he possessed demon-like red eyes that could stare right into your soul and silver hair with black highlights.

The one other human was in fact (since I couldn't find his looks at all, sorry) Dr. Anton Sevarius, the supposedly dead scientist from the lake incident.

The male Gargoyle looked to be a perfect clone of Goliath and sharing the same silhouette, prodigious strength, and voice, and with altered pigmentation and markings because of his artificially-accelerated aging. As a result, his hair is pure white, his eyes are dark red, his skin is a dark purple/indigo shade, and his wing membranes are pale lilac. He also wore a robe of sorts while looking at them in intriguing eyes of course while he crossed his arms.

"You have a funny way of showing it though," Elisa points out guardedly to make the man chuckle as he waved it off before leaning back into his expensive chair and asserting in a way, he understood yet wasn't at all bothered by it, "Not truly my dear, as my company has been watching you. Even aiding Dr. Sevarius here with his cloning projects… Though some are redone by my orders to this clone's ire," he motioned to what both Angela and Elisa were astonished by, was indeed Goliath's Clone, "As originally he wanted a cloned mate, but he has yet to deserve one as such, and the Doctor here wanted a virus imbued into their DNA if they failed… But I wasn't allowing that to occur either as you see… I am more as you see me, and I do hope you like staying within my few facilities I have… Since you will be part of it as well."

With a nod, a few guards came into the room and started patting down the two women while another grabbed Merida as she began struggling, and the man oddly enough sniffed the air around him before looking at the child in immediate interest. "Ah… It seems we have a mixed child here for races, one of which is magical at best," He gazed at the guards as they started leading them away by his next set of orders, "Keep them together as I have a feeling Project Race would be sufficient by the child herself. Otherwise I, Damian Satris, wouldn't have bothered looking into things."

Once the girls were gone, the Gargoyle Clone finally spoke, "I do hope you know what you're doing. We sought your aid since Demona turned down a chance to do so."

Damian chuckled before glancing at him carefully as his tongue shifted to that of drakes briefly while laughing before it returned to normal, and stated firmly to them, "I do, and I will keep my word. But we will make another, better clone as the one meant for you, is better suited for other purposes… And those purposes will be out of my hands once the child meets Project Delilah as such. Especially since we remade the Old Clan from the stone fragmented DNA they retained while improving the Stone Sleep to when they desperately needed it."

"B-But Sir, that would mean we will lose our greatest mishap in this facili- Awk!" Anton started to state with reason to this facility ruler yet soon was slammed into the wall by an energized, dragon-like shadow from Damian as the man chuckled before noting firmly to him, "I suggest you realize your place and obey my orders until our deal is done, human, otherwise I can effortlessly end it and kill you the least expected."

Anton rapidly nodded wordlessly while struggling, and Damian dropped the foolish geneticist and got up, and gestured for them to follow in which they did, and he chuckled and thought darkly at what special child, Merida, was. Indeed she will be perfect to aid us once her blood is taken and synthesized… Then a drop of it into my solution, I will be renewed ten times more than back from where I escaped from… HEHE, HAHA!

He paused before getting a device from his pocket, and spoke into it, "Prepare Ms. Maza for our improved project once you extract the child's blood briefly… No mistakes."

---

A few hours later, Elisa sighed while in cuffs alongside Angela as they were separated slightly from the child as she was horrified alongside Angela, to learn a few things.

Firstly, they were able to successfully build a female Gargoyle that has both genes with both Elisa and Demona and bringing Angela to realize she has a half-sister, and Elisa, and Demona having a cloned daughter. Also that the Goliath Clone was Angela's younger brother (despite the age and looks).

The second aspect was that it was futile to escape from the inside as from a stray comment by a guard outside their cell talking to another when he asked that.

The third thing that made them uneasy was what they were scheming for both Elisa and what they found out from the child speaking from that collar as they were amused earlier though as it zapped the guards trying to take it off, repeatedly, by the name of Merida.

"It's no use, Elisa… I just hope Father comes and rescues us as I wonder how they got this to place around my neck," Angela states as they placed a bizarre collar on her that was some sort of bronze, and they discovered it was daytime yet she didn't at all changed into stone from the sunlight via their barred window for the outside of the mountain as such, shining through.

"Me too, as whatever they have planned… I have a feeling that I won't enjoy it," Elisa concurred before they stood up, and saw the guards were chatting to a few others before tossing two girls into the large cell with them as one being a pale Merida as Elisa quickly checked her over to see she was alive, just looked to be drained from them extracting her blood of the small yet healed needle marks in her arms didn't disprove it.

Angela was astonished by the other girl that appeared to be the same age as Merida.

The girl or possibly the female clone was around the same age as Merida as mentioned, but with a developing body to realize she may have either the same or even a developing improved body from Elisa as she ages. Her facial features and coloring are also similar to Elisa's, while her brows, horns, wings, and knees, and even elbow spikes are very reminiscent of Demona's own. She moreover seems to wear a purple leotard, a modified jacket similar to Elisa's, and she has several metal armor coverings on her body, including her lower legs and arms, the end of her tail, and on each talon of her hands.

Yet what amazed Angela was seeing the two Younglings' tails curled around each other to recognize one thing: They were secretly mates somehow yet they didn't at all show the Mating Mark. Could they be what I was taught back in Avalon… Soulmates?

"How did they… Is she a clone of me?" Elisa states in disbelief mixed with being shocked to her very core someone would truly do this after then beholding to the other child and was startled by her looks, and before they could even state anything to each other, a few guards came into the room and shocked Angela and Elisa before grabbing the detective, and made Angela worry as she was struggling in her hold before seeing they led her away, "E-Elisa! N-No!" Angela struggled out as they tossed her before they left the room.

Angela hastily got up as she then punched the wall yet once again got shocked before landing thankfully away from the two girls, and sighed with distress about what this place was going to do to Elisa.

She eventually saw that Merida was waking from the effects of a smaller dose of a dart they shot the child with earlier when they brought her in here, and gently grabbed them both as it came across the clone was waking up as well and with them clutching their heads, "Wh… Where's Ms. Elisa?"

Angela didn't comprehend what to say except comfort the two girls as they seemed to be weak and indeed Merida was exhibiting signs of blood loss, and prayed for Elisa.

With Elisa though… She was struggling in the guard's firm grip as they took her into a room within the last three minutes of being escorted, and stripped her clothing as at the same time, placed her in an adjustable sports bra and panties to her enraged embarrassment, and then locked her down in bizarre wrist-straps after for not only her wrists but her ankles, this time, while also removing her cuffs, and lastly left her in the unusual room.

Personally, Elisa felt honestly terrified for not only herself but those within the facility this crazy man owns while struggling yet failing once again to get out, as she acknowledged then that this room seems to be something she dreaded she didn't have to experience, from her brother that went by the name of Talon, currently, experienced. Particularly since Dr. Wannabe is part of this, she dryly thought while struggling still.

"I suggest you stop struggling as those can hold three Gargoyles down with ease, even a Dragon Shifter," a familiar deep voice states to cease her struggling with wondering what the hell he meant by 'Dragon Shifter', and made Elisa narrowed her eyes sharply at Damian and firmly declaring to him in a demanding statement, "What do you plan to do to me?"

The man came across amused by her actions as if she was being hilarious yet stared at her sharply with her feeling dread before glaringly gazing right at him as her heart felt like it dropped in both fears of anxiety, along with growing panic by his words next, "Why to give a gift to you, as we both truly realize your feelings about that male Gargoyle… Goliath is his name, correct?"

He then got a needle that emerged from the wall by his explicit order to do this himself and watching Elisa gazed fearfully at the purple, glowing liquid with red mixed in, and commenced monologuing to her as robotic arms came from the ceiling, and held her in place, "While I normally don't do this to those that have arrived at my Mountain Facility within the Border of New York, I felt it would be personal to allow you to learn that there is possibly no way at all for you to escape your fate of ending up somewhat the same, but different, then Project Talon. With us draining the child slightly and mass-producing it through a filtered device, we will be perceiving fantastic results of you possibly obtaining some traits of the child, but with the added yet modified genes of our gift in this one little needle, right here."

He showed Elisa as she soon gazed at it in fear and satisfied him as he inhaled the air before smirking at her with oddly enough, very sharp teeth like a dragon, "As after all… There has to be more Dragon's in existence than anywhere else in all the worlds. Particularly that child is destined to truly defeat My Master as such from her True Prophecy, then the fake that was placed upon her in her domain realm… And yet," Elisa held back a scream as he jabbed the needle right at the middle of her spine since he was walking and explaining as the fluid itself going right into the spinal cord for better results, "As a Black Dragon, and reborn as a rich spokesman, this was better than My Master could desire as such. So he gave me a task to experiment on the life of the current world I'm in and eventually sent him all the results in which you, my precious new experiment," Elisa's eyes widened at that before an aura of sorts matching Merida's showed around her frame.

"It seems more than what I anticipated has occurred to you… The Chosen Child's Pure Magic is giving you your own. How marvelous… Anyways," Elisa began feeling off as she scowled at him as he chuckled before finishing his words, abandoning her there, "I do hope you adore the new look, as you are not going nowhere now… Hahahaha!"

Once he left, she felt like her heart thudding harshly within her chest, her blood feeling it was on fire, and held back screams as that aura went into her as it felt like she was now getting ripped into two or more along at the same time, her entire body was in excruciating agony with her lastly thinking before passing out, and not realizing her body commenced morphing in suffering, Goliath… Everyone… I'm sorry.

---

Meanwhile with Megamind (Nearly thirty minutes their realm time):

---

"It should work to allow us to view Merida and where she is… And… There!" Megamind states before both Minion and him gasping before Minion gives Megamind a look, "Well… So much for Roxanne's Godchild being safe, Sir."

"This is a big problem Minion… We need to get her out of wherever she is and back," Megamind states shortly as he started opening and using his intelligence, commenced to adjust the machine.

"How long will it take Sir, as I have a bad feeling about this," Minion states as Megamind shrugged and gave a quick idea to him in reply, "I would simply say around or close to an hour at most… Why don't you reheat her food and keep it, warm Minion, as I'm sure she would be hungry."

Minion rapidly nodded and left Megamind to do his thing.

---

Several Hours later or an hour at night around 7:42 pm (The realm's time Merida is currently in):

---

Angela sighed while looking at the two children as it seemed they were getting along with each other and even talking as if nothing had arisen.

The clone named herself Delilah Destiny Maza and with Angela being somewhat happy yet also still surprised by what the child disclosed who her parents were as she was a modified, Half-Gargoyle that was a perfect experiment yet failed, at the same time.

In honesty, it was all due to her mentality being immune and also being imprinted by the same time that arose only recently on Merida's left arm, near her wrist.

But what concerned Angela more as they did somewhat due to their childish nature, was what they were not only going to do to them, but to primarily her mother: Demona, and Elisa currently, as she has yet to return.

Angela, although heard privately a few times Elisa cries in misery to worry about whatever they were doing to her friend and then sighed to herself while scowling at the walls in a way Demona would be proud of if she found out about her… Which she did by the Goliath Clone earlier. We need to truly get out of here.

Angela perked up before being guarded as their cell door after Elisa's departure as she grabbed the two confused children while closing her eyes and anticipating to get shocked once again, before they heard an outcry and shoving, and the door is soon closed and pounded on, "When I get out of here, you humans will be dealt with by me!" A familiar voice declared.

Angela winced as earlier, they took her after wanting to find out where the rest of the Clan was, and she refused as they then beat her slightly yet was alarmed she was slowly healing as she would have during Stone Sleep, and soon saw in shock, it was Demona growling out with red eyes like she has when angered.

Demona stilled before glancing and was stunned as she carried bruises on her face and some parts of her torso as well, and saw it was Merida, the child clone (to her ire yet slowly acceptance of her and Maza), and her child she gave birth to with Goliath.

Yet she was angered inwardly while beholding their states, and came over to inspect them, "It appears the humans got to you as well… Daughter."

"You know who I am?" Angela implored as Demona nodded while glancing at the two children briefly, and gazed at her with warm eyes that also held isolated emotions that Angela didn't see, "Yes by that awful clone of… Of him," Angela understood who she meant as she got the partway history from Hudson as she asked him, and it was oddly painful yet she understood what fell between the two.

"Yes… And it seems whoever is in charge, is powerful enough to recognize the weaknesses of Gargoyles," Demona states gently while no longer hesitated on brushing not only Merida's hair but also Angela's, and stunning her yet she shortly accepted as the elder female Gargoyle was thinking about the slip-up she listened to about her Clan being fully cloned and with their memories currently intact, for now.

"He isn't human though… Mother," Angela states while secretly testing out the title she wanted to say so long from her tongue, and getting Demona privately surprised before her eyes were warm, then they were confused mixed with them being firm as she then contemplated them alongside multitasking brushing their hair with her hands and tail as Angela also saw the same collar on her mother's neck as well, "What do you mean?"

Angela illustrated while she winced a few times when Demona touched her arm and withholding rage as the Gargoyle Female simply listened.

And when she was done, she was privately worried about what her daughter described the man's eyes as she may have seen or known this… Damian before, and gazed at her daughter- Elder Daughter firmly to correct herself with conviction, and with Angela holding the clone and her holding Merida, "You have tried everything to get out?"

"Yes… As you can see from my hands slightly, they tend to get shocked with each true punch right into my arm," Angela then confides to her mother as she did have slowly yet healing scars from getting shocked.

Demona gently placed the child she held nearby her and before Angela could warn the elder female Gargoyle, Demona soon felt electric currents going right into her arm as the current felt like a thousand daggers going right into her as she growled along with her eyes going red in alarming pain, and pulled back.

"Ms. Demona… You… Ok?" Merida raised a question as Delilah was in shock with her eyes going oddly enough, light-blue in color from the unexpected outcome as Angela held the two children and worried at how weaker Merida has been getting for the last few hours as despite acting normal, Merida herself felt like she was still drained and also hungry… Like really hungry, but for something else than food.

Demona sensed something was wrong this entire time with not only Angela confidentially but wondered why she also felt it with Merida.

But before she could state anything they all froze as the lights went out before they soon changed to red, and heard alarms unexpectedly blaring.

"What's going on?" Angela asked as Merida held her ears from the noise being too loud as Delilah was only confused, "Not sure… But I hope it's better to aid us." Demona states and holds her right-hand while flexing it.

After some time with them together, they heard guns going off before hearing men scream in fear or warning to keep firing, as they soon heard a loud thud on their cell door.

With both female Gargoyle's in defensive positions, they weren't expecting metallic-like Gargoyle claws to easily pierce their door and ripped it apart to reveal oddly Xanatos (with his metal suit fully as a Gargoyle), and both Broadway and Brooklyn and with the later glaring right at Demona hatefully with them going wide-eyed at beholding not only Merida but also Delilah as he states to himself, "Oh boy."

"Let's go, we've gathered everyone they've taken or cloned and have them go with the others. Just you and Elisa left to gather," Xanatos firmly claimed in an echo of his voice from the robotic suit, and Demona hesitantly nodded before wincing her arm, and they slowly started to move with Merida clinging to Demona when she was being escorted, and Brooklyn glancing at the child in disbelief yet aided them through the halls as Demona saw some humans were knocked out while others, were robotic males with bullets in them.

They have been moving and looking for Elisa for the last few minutes as the siren went off along with Demona oddly enough, being quiet as they still moved, "Damn… Where is she?" Brooklyn states as Goliath assigned him in charge of rescuing them while the others deal with clones, and the kidnapped people and their families.

Merida though weakly perked up by an unusual feeling she came to be feeling a few rooms down to the left and took off without warning to get them to chase after her as Delilah was presently being carried by Broadway.

Once they caught up to her, they were all shocked with Demona for once speechless as Angela had glowing eyes in anger and sympathy as she went over with both Xanatos and Brooklyn, as they helped Elisa down.

Elisa was passed out still within her new form twitching in place as she was changed and thanking that female scientist earlier thought of getting them inside after finding out they experimented on her half-sister before they were then found out.

Elisa, lost entirely her jacket and clothes, with the red leather hide similar to the coloring to her new wings and retaining her normal, human skin tone she already has. She increased another foot in height to the point it was revealing her fit with slight abs waist, along with a matching skin-colored tail. She amassed double-jointed bare feet along with gaining extra-like bone configuration on her forehead with small horns, and larger eyes to make them wide as they guessed as she kept them closed with tear stains showing on her face. She has also a bigger chest size (with it presently being a High-EE-Cup) and a more hourglass/athletic frame to realize she was still fit, despite her being in an adjusted black sports bra and designed panties that were recently placed on her at seeing remains on the floor.

"Let's get moving. Who knows how long that unusual male Puck summoned, by a favor, would hold down Damian and his lackeys," Xanatos then remarked while picking up Elisa who groaned in brief pain still while passed out, and Demona for once felt sympathy for the former human woman as they began to leave.

Eventually, they were able to go outside yet they stilled as they listened to a rumble of sorts within the ground.

"Please say that was your stomach?" Brooklyn begged Broadway hesitantly yet said Gargoyle shook his head 'No' with a large gulp, and they all hurriedly moved as something looked like it was about to come hastily out of the ground.

Demona, Brooklyn, and Merida were separated from the others as to startle them all, a large, dragon-like head similar to Ultraxion from World of Warcraft (but Black Drake skinned), came forth with a shrilling-like roar while having Damian's eyes that appeared pissed off.

Once the creature came out, it was in fact as described for the entire body, however, on the wings, they were Celtic and Norse runes. "I will not be denied my chance at serving the master!" The dragon roared out and eyeing the three primarily to get both Demona and Brooklyn to agree on one thing: Run.

The dragon they reckoned shortly was Damian, commenced to pursue quickly on foot against both a gliding Demona and Brooklyn, and with Brooklyn carrying the child that he understood from her anxiety as such, as the others watched on yet Goliath and Co. just arrived in time as they without words headed over to where one of their own, a child, and a traitor, were running for their lives against the entity.

As they were gliding, Merida felt her mark pulse rapidly as abruptly she started to shake as her eyes glowed briefly as a block that was placed, was immediately broken after gazing fearfully along with her magic reacting to her inward wish of someone helping them.

In Megamind's Realm and within the Isle of Dragons, inside the Bermuda Triangle:

---

Keristrasza gasped as she felt their connection with their own Adopted Charge, was ultimately at last shattered with tears going down her eyes in short happiness with Cyanigosa acknowledging yet they stilled before growling out of perceiving their Princess of Dragons was in terrible need, fear, and primarily feeling fear for those she met.

Cyanigosa nodded from realizing their bond of what her mate wanted to be done, and hurried from their bed and snatched a small, egg-like crystal that she shortly channeled her energy into, and states in Parseltongue to it with their orders being received, "Send our forces to aid our Pearl Princess at last. Quadrant: Earth 775 within the outskirts of New York, ASAP! However, send them back after the task at hand is done with a few alterations for a Code: Alter-99."

"My Blue… Why that code? You realize how things are…" "It is for the best, My Red, as we will see our Hatchling when she is better, but if we allow those she met with those also involved with them to exist… Then so be it, correct? It would make things manageable and maybe deem it a gift to her. Well, one of the few gifts we need to give her."

Keristrasza solely nodded as Cyanigosa simply kissed her fellow Queen on her forehead gently as they could only hope they were able to do so in time.

---

With Megamind:

---

"So close… Damn it all," Megamind states as he was presently rewriting that same wire as that was all it was needed, yet he currently has a few more tools to hopefully get his idea working in time as they already made plans for Hal as such.

Minion was adjusting things and in case of something dire, getting the med station ready, and with hearing an abrupt click, he seemed excited while quickly getting out and adjusting the screen to show Merida to his success before beholding to his wide eyes the current situation, "Oh Bollocks… I can't bring her back at this moment if she is under attack… That would ruin the plans if that thing was in Metrocity," He murmured to himself before sighing as he decided to wait, and activate the machine at the right time.

If he paid attention to his surroundings, a whelpling for the Bronze Drakes showed up, asserted said spell on the device, and left in a brief flash that Megamind turned to, yet shrugged before resuming his task at hand.

---

Back with Merida and Co.:

---

Merida silently yelped as she hanged on tightly to Brooklyn since both him and Demona dived to get out of Damian's line of purple-like fire he sent out a few times.

"How do we beat something like this?!" Brooklyn shouted as his Clan was distracting the Leader of the instantly destroyed facility, and started sending shadow-like blasts from his horns and striving to claw them from the sky, "To defeat a dragon as such that size would take a lot of power which we don't have. Even with my spell knowledge that hides he would be useless," Demona states firmly to him with their bitterness at each other presently placed aside for now as they had three goals in mind: Avoidance, protecting, and trying to figure out how to beat the dragon.

As if he heard them, he roared in hissing laughter before declaring loudly along with observing his maw glowing those flames slowly to build up a powerful assault that was intended for them, "Nothing can defeat me now! You pathetic creatures don't stand a possibility against me at all. Not even those two Powerful Magicals that I sent far away so I can deal with your pathetic self's, myself!"

Damian was about to blast them until he choked on his flames as he was suddenly hit from behind by multiple blasts. He then loudly roared while turning, glaring at the sky with those eyes of his, "Who dares hit me?"

To stun or even surprise them all and angering Damian though, vortexes materialized as the dragons sent from Dragon Isle instantly arrived and proceeded to repeatedly blast Damian.

While Damian was distracted by the Dragons, Brooklyn and Demona took this chance to get out of there yet Damian was multitasking and roared out along with whacking some Drakes away by his powerful tail, "You are going nowhere with that brat!"

"Ms. Demona, look out!" Merida thought-shouted at the female Gargoyle as she was unexpectedly blasted from behind by Damian's fire blast, and was sent spiraling to the ground as this not only dazed the Gargoyle but also injured her arm and some parts of her body even more.

Angela tensed up while she hugged her father as he landed and The Clan seeing this as Brooklyn was astonished by this yet suddenly felt a prickle of energy somehow on his back- No… It can't be, he thought, and sure enough, when he glanced, Merida's eyes were glowing eerily while staring at Damian, and her pupils changed from blue to blood-red in abrupt anger as that aura formed around her frame as well.

He then was abruptly blasted away as Merida for once, commenced to scream as that aura got denser and denser to the point it was fully blocking her from view in a mixed shimmering orb that then initiated to grow bigger and bigger as Brooklyn landed, oddly enough, on top of his Rookery Brothers.

Once it got to half the size of Damian, it burst and in place was a glowing, white-eyed dragon to whom they were thinking in surprise was Merida, was mastodonic, and she has an entire upper body covered in dark-blue round scales of which, in turn, are decorated by spiraling, silver markings. Her lower body was a feminine frame of sorts for a dragon, specifically her chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs, and gray arms, and appeared to be rather smooth. Merida's eyes dimmed to be like they were (like Smaug from the Hobbit), and her head is round and blunt with four large yet elongated plates extending backward. Merida's mouth was similarly full of razor-sharp teeth in both rows presently, and attached to her chin is a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead. Her vast wings are feathery in appearance, akin to a bird's, and very similar to an Anime Dragon (Grandeeney from Fairy Tail). The scales, however, cease at the end of Merida's tail, which in itself, ends in a stingeresque shape. She, however, still strangely wore that one collar yet the gem was furthermore flawless for her new size, and remade into a star shape.

"The child's also a Dragon?!" Damian states in a stunned yet unhappy voice as Merida's eyes went blank before she screeched, and vanished before reappearing right in front of the draconian male, and whacked him with her tail, harshly, and similarly at the same time, not only sending him to the ground but also she opened her maw and lightning-infused magic soon blasted him and charged.

While the two were fighting, Damian roared as to astonish the group below, odd creatures that felt off appeared, and from the glow (like Damian's eyes), they were feeding off of his power before they attacked.

They primarily were a mass of red and white energy with no eyes, and gaping-like jaws with tentacles for feet, and clawed hands with smokey limbs.

Goliath and the Clan then commenced to fight back with punches, kicks, and even wing or tail slaps… But more just kept coming after they defeated the ones they targeted.

"Angela, look out!" Broadway said as they were getting overrun with the creatures for the past several minutes as both Damian and Merida were still going at it along with the two kept shooting their attacks and whacking each other, and Merida still retained that blank look in her eyes, and Angela turned to only be alarmed as a massive version of what they faced, showed, and was going to kill her until she was shoved out of the way by… Demona.

Angela was horrified while on the ground before briefly gazing upwards as Merida, to her wince, finally did some damage by using her sharp-like teeth as a dragon, to wound Damian's left-wing while also ripping it off and to disgust some, ate it without issues within seconds and making him roar in stunned pain as Angela herself, headed over to her mother and everyone seeing Damian started falling in stiffed shock still, and also feeling paralyzed.

The Drakes watching this, commenced attacking the creatures immediately alongside the Gargoyles as Angela ran her hands and saw Demona has a scar presently around her face that was somewhat jagged and deep along with wounding her left eye completely as she then roared out with her head upwards in rage, and with Demona passed out once again after solely waking up to save Angela.

Though that very roar got through to Merida and snapped out of her instincts and was frightened by what was happening to her, and her surroundings.

The creatures were gone, and most fled into unusual vortexes that had hands in them and left as rapidly as they could before they vanished, and Goliath heard his child's anguished roar.

The Clan headed over as a few winced at noticing Demona's face and body the way it was: Scarred, burnt, and twitching still as her one arm from getting shocked.

The Drake's saw Merida was immediately flying frantically after presently freaking out of her new look as a large dragon, and the sight of the group they aided below's comrade currently, and split: One group to aid the child, and the other to return the favor slightly by the sole Red Drake that joined their assignment by their Queens, as their Healer.

The ones for those on the ground instantly landed and made Goliath and the other's cautious before the red dragon shifted to amaze them, into an elf-like human of sorts, just like a perfect feminine Puck, and commenced heading over to Angela.

Angela hissed at them with her red eyes while protecting her mother's unconscious form, yet the Red Drake ignored her and kneeled and expressed firmly to the seeing-red Gargoyle to then make Angela reluctantly calm down, "If you do not want thy mother to be healed, then I will leave. Otherwise allow thy task to be done, Stone Warrior."

"Angela… Stand down, and let them heal her," Ordered Goliath to stun his Clan as Brooklyn decided to state and unknowingly hurt Angela's feelings, "But Goliath… Why should they heal her, she deserves what she has done in the past?"

He soon winced by the look Goliath gave him before comprehending as to why and watching the Drake channeling her Healing Magic into the elder female Gargoyle with ease as they proceeded to see her getting better and better with each minute that went by, "She had saved one of our own, and as Law dictates, she needs a favor in return… And this would be it."

Once the Red Drake was done, she sadly gazed at Angela while also filling the woman with hope… though shocking the group by what she confessed to them from secretly scanning her, "I have done what thy can do. She will remain passed out for some time and yet… I have also adjusted the curse placed upon her by unusual yet familiar energy my kin may have faced before. A Trickster no doubt. So presently she can change with ease, and at any time. And if she has children she would also pass it as a gift... A Bloodline our old world once called it as such for others," She got up and they all instantly looked upwards with a few dragon's roaring in frantic moments to then make her chuckle, and noted in addition to her words at them all, "It seems the Princess cannot at all shift back unless she is calmed down."

"PRINCESS?!" Largely everyone states to the Red Female Drake as she nodded in amusement while watching her kin try yet fail still to try and calm a still freaking-out Merida, "Yes as decreed long ago while thy was an infant in her realm... Our two Queen Rulers blessing her with their blood from inferring her as one of us, and making her as royalty to them and dubbing them their Dragon Child, by Dragon Magic, despite the blood still flowing into her veins."

They were about to answer until a mortal-formed Damian that looked battered and bruised while holding the same arm that Merida bit from his wing, glared hatefully at them all, and was channeling black-like flames in his mouth, "You fools have cost My Master a lot of progress to end… Now suffer as I destroy all of you with the Black Flames-" He was then splattered with them all looking away, or wincing in non-sympathy by a crashed Merida who was immediately on her back and still in panic mode, his bodily parts disintegrating into nothing along with his blood.

Catching sight of the child still frantic as she roared in fear of herself, the Red Drake sighed while staring right at Angela, stunning them all by this, "You must be the one to calm her down, Stone Warrior, as it comes across she made a sisterly connection to you first then the one that is destined for your sire. Yet."

Angela was about to reject this as she only learned the child briefly yet paused at the sad attempts Merida while a dragon was doing, and sighed before an idea came to her of a possible lullaby she was sung to and then taught, "Alright… I'll do it."

That surprised the Clan, yet when she went over and for a few moments got Merida's attention, she commenced to sing a lullaby that Goliath was amazed she remembered and yet, guessed the Princess back then sang to them the song that the one Gargoyle nearby that was passed out, so long ago, done.

"Far a bheil an gaoth agus na h-adhar a 'coinneach adh. Bidh mi ann airson do threòrachadh (Where the wind and the sky meet. I will be there to guide you)," Angela's voice was soothing and was able to get Merida's awareness as she appeared to move less and less in fear and the female Gargoyle's tone sounded smooth with a hint of her accent in it, "Nuair a thig na h-aibhnichean agus na beathaichean seachad, tha fios agad càite an tèid thu (When the rivers and the animals roam, you know where to go), sèididh na reultan an adhar, agus bidh a 'ghealach a-riamh cho soilleir, bidh an gaoth gad stiùireadh dhachaigh, gad stiùireadh dhachaigh. Bidh mi gad dhìon, a 'gabhail cùram dhut, agus bheir mi gràdh dhuit gus an deireadh; eadhon faisg air a 'cheann, agus a bhith còmhla ribh an-còmhnaidh (the sky and stars above, and the moon is so clear, the wind will guide you home, guide you home. I will protect you, take care of you, and I will give you love to the end; even near the end, and always be with you)."

Once it comes off that Merida fell asleep, she glowed while shifting back to herself from a large, bright flash.

Though her face presently along with some of her body, possessed the same markings as she did within her dragon form, on her frame, and her necklace/collar Megamind made for her was instantly a crown attached around her forehead as the crown was resembling similar to Sylvia from Princess Resurrection Anime (4) yet with all of them emeralds along with the center gem being in a shape of a star, and wouldn't at all come off immediately unless she would do so.

"Well, at least she is still the same… Slightly," Lexington decided to state after a few moments of awed silence from them all witnessing a huge dragon change right back into a child and with most of his Clan and Rookery Brothers agreeing as Broadway's heart thumped for Angela even more from watching her effortlessly carrying the sleeping child as Merida's tail curled up around Angela's left arm gently as for once, she purred while sleeping, "Indeed, yet that has not explained why you have shown yourselves after so long?" Goliath agreed before looking right at the Red Drake Female.

She smiled sadly while motioning to an approaching Angela as she also overheard her words as they did, "It was ordered from our Queens back in the child's realm. Her birth world, that is as the isle itself is protected by truly Ancient Magic and Godly Power… Sort of like this world's few Special Isles as such."

Goliath and the others tensed yet understood what she meant, and it took them all a moment to understand, even Xanatos, by what that Dragon meant as he returned in time to hear and witness Merida as a dragon, reverting, "What do you mean worlds… It's as if you acknowledged that there is more than one?"

"Indeed. There are among thousands of universal-based Earth's to which Merida: Our Princess, hails from, and where we also came in aid. Our Queens decided to, later on, look for their charge and our Dragon Princess after she had settled with her Godmother, as they would help raise her but… She has a destiny to fulfill in thy time. But that doesn't mean that she cannot at all visits or even stay with them at certain moments of thy seasons, or even years." She states before blinking in forgetfulness and bowing in respect while now introducing herself, "I am sorry for not introducing to thee, my name is Forlokonastra or in mortal names, Felicity Von Konatic, and Head Maid to Princess Merida. At your service." In the end, though, she did bow to them once again.

Noticing that the dragons are leaving, Felicity paused as she turned her head briefly at the one Gargoyle, Brooklyn, to which she tinted at slightly yet he asked in bewilderment with suspicion mixed in his tone as he was motioning to Merida, "You're not taking her with you?"

She shook her head while gently stating as her look somewhat sad yet had hoped with relieved happiness all rolled into one within her orbs, they saw before she last left in a glowing vortex, "Our Princess is in capable hands… Besides, we will meet once again on certain grounds, sooner than you think."

Seeing as it was still night, Xanatos looked at them with his helm still on his face, at Goliath, "I think it would be best if we agreed to our terms. Thus proving that I'm being truthful for once in my life to you."

The Clan Leader nodded as Goliath then stated as some of his Clan was alarmed yet joy could be seen then on their features, "We are returning to our true home… All of us."

Hudson understood as, like them all, they were shocked that all their Old Clan Members were somehow brought back by the Maddened Drake's ways of science, yet relieved he didn't wipe their minds.

"Puck (5)," Xanatos immediately states as a flash briefly lit their eyes before seeing said familiar trickster for this world.

"You rang, Mr. High and Mighty?" Puck states before getting a look by the others and blinked as he thought that nothing would amaze him since he and that man was sent away by an unusual vortex to which he easily escaped from, yet didn't expect the rich man to call him soon. But to see Demona knocked out, and that particular child did surprise the Trickster enough to mentally pale as he knew whose child her Sire was, from experience, "You didn't seem to have the gall to tell me we were among royalty? For shame Xanatos, for shame."

Ignoring Puck's antics since he only a few weeks ago was given privileges back to be a trickster yet serve his family for generations, states firmly to get Puck to look at everyone else in surprise before schooling his features as he also sent the re-engineered Gargoyles back to the castle anyways before his embarrassing realm jump, "Take us all back to the Tower, Puck, and since you did well… You can stay as Puck for a little longer as we may need to talk along with other things."

Puck was in glee at that order yet worried at the same time, what his servitude to this family now has to deal with as he, to why he also guessed of his kind from Oberon, felt the strange shift that was soon to come.

He snapped his fingers as they all then teleported from the ruins of a base.

---

Seven minutes before everyone else's arrival, in the medical wing seeing to Elisa:

---

A woman sighed while inwardly thanking her son was sleeping, as she oversaw the treatment of Elisa to see she was permanent in sad terms after a Blood Test, was set to look like this as a Humanoid Gargoyle with her, like the others that were in rooms or other medical wards within their building, where the same yet able to shift into human form.

She has long red hair and brown eyes, and her most prominent distinguishing characteristic is a tattoo shaped roughly like a blue fox's head over her right eye, along with her having a lean yet slender figure. She was a few inches taller then Elisa's original height while also having after she was recently measured from her still feeding for her child as he is slowly setting to wean from her, a DD-Cup while also wearing a fancy silk dress that was teal in color and easily showing her assets in both an exotic yet decent way as it hugged her curves gently.

This was Janine "Fox" Amelia Renard - Xanatos, and she wanted to tell her husband of finding out that her father was secretly adopted by her Grandparents as Evans, back then (after realizing that they couldn't have kids yet wanted an Heir). The orphanage they got her father from didn't know where he came from, but only had a note that states to raise him well. And also a special surprise that would make her near, eight-month-old child to not be alone anymore.

Fox sighed while casually sitting down and with her legs delicately crossing and hoping they would come back as Xanatos gotten the old Metal Gargoyle Suit out to aid the Manhattan Clan in their rescue still, and thought of what she not only found out but other things (like that odd energy), she sensed like her son, from him briefly stilling in his cry from a nightmare earlier, all over the globe.

"It seems you won't like what occurred to you Maza, as even I wouldn't like what would happen," Fox states out loud with a shiver as she recollected her werewolf via an artifact experience rarely yet sometimes to amuse Xanatos as a side effect, she would whine or even have a sensitive smell after she was cured of that curse.

"Indeed she won't, my child," a familiar female to Fox states as she sighed, and turns to her mother who simply smiled at her, "Hello Mother… What are you doing here?"

Fox's mother was using her Mortal Form as it was similar to Fox yet more delicate looking in gaze and even matching her age as well (at being twenty-five from the werewolf incident as she was de-aged somehow), and had a lower size (a high C-Cup at best) with her wearing a decent business outfit that showed some of her cleavages, in light green colors, and black low heels.

This was Anastasia Renard or better known as Titania: The Fae Queen of the Third Race, and wife to her stepfather, Oberon: King of the Third Race.

"I simply wanted to check up on you as you know I recently gave up on taking any grandkids back, and knew you possibly felt the unusual shift our world had?" Titania states as Fox mutely nodded with a hesitant smile as they have just started nearly a few months on repairing their relationship, "Yes… But as you can tell, Elisa was forcibly changed by Blood, and we cannot do anything to help her on this."

Titania lightly scowled at that before conjuring wine for the two yet became briefly confused by Fox's rejection, "Indeed as science is different then Magical Changes… But why do you decline my offered drink though, Fox?"

Despite the situation, Titania became excited by the surprising news as Fox decided to herself since they were repairing the mother/daughter bond, she should be the first to discover, "I'm pregnant again."

Before she could hug her or anything, the area briefly shook abruptly as they steadied themselves as their backup generators came quickly online, "By the Seven Hell's, what was that?" Fox states in question as her mother merely shrugged before turning to the nearby window and beholding the land, blinking before calling her child over, "I think perhaps that would explain it."

Confused as she went over, she was astonished to see a very tall obelisk of sorts, as it was right dab in the center of Central Park and with four golden rings going up and down along with them also sometimes clinking in an unusual chime to each other as the chime echoed gently in an unusual wind-chime note, "It seems that is the same unique sentiment we felt I guess mother, as it's oddly enough, giving the same energy as well."

Titania only nodded while privately recognizing the design yet was astounded, at the same time as to why it was here, nevertheless before they could do anything, they heard and felt people landing with Magic being involved, in the main hallway.

Seeing Elisa was still sleeping in her position to not damage her wings, the two females went into the hallway and blinked before Titania appeared amused as Fox hid hers at giving her husband a look as he was at the bottom of the said pile with Goliath and the rest on top of them, as Angela and Merida (still sleeping) being on top, and Puck gracefully landed on his feet to their left.

"So the mission was a success then, love?" Fox states as she headed over to her husband, David Xanatos, as he retracted he held his updated suit folding into itself until it was a cube in his left hand, and kissed his wife lovingly, "Yes it was."

David was a muscular, tanned skin, brown pony-tailed hair, and goatee, gray suit man that stood a few inches lower than Goliath and making him an average height for the man himself.

He though hid his scowl at discovering Titania here yet hid it in favor of him remembering that Fox and her, were presently getting along yet they have yet to see eye to eye, as such, but he was confused when Titania stared at the child within Angela's arms and oddly enough, went pale before declaring aloud, "What is she doing here?"

"Mother… You know of the child?" Fox implored before David then quietly whispered the child's name into her ear after secretly reading the blood-based file the ruined facility had, along with him stealing as well, and went wide-eyed at gazing right at her supposed blood relative now, in shock, several minutes later, "Yes… The child is special in the world she hails from. But I guess that can clarify the Universal Time Displacement Pillar within this city's park, then."

Confused, she simply pointed at the pillar itself, and they were alarmed with a lot of questions going through their minds yet it was Angela that gently asked while gently rubbing Merida's left arm assuredly as she seemed to have begun fidgeting; before relaxing at this, "Is it dangerous then, Queen Titania?"

She shook her head 'No' before noting assuredly to them, yet amazing them as well by her next set of words, "That pillar would, when it occurs, would merge our world with my understanding… Merida's, and would possibly merge others that exist in her world with them. Not to cause mental panic and whatnot to the public eye of mortals, and the Bronze Drakes and those with the powers of Time, tend to do this if it is needed… Though I sense we won't be part of merging with the others, as I have an impression we don't at all exist in the child's realm like she doesn't in ours."

"So you're saying we're safe, yet we would be the only ones to remember what has occurred then?" Goliath asked in a remark before they all turned to Puck while he laughed at this, "Oh! It has been so long since I saw a World merging with another… Especially in Merida's World. Thanos is still seeking out the-" Puck began mumbling immediately to make them all look to the Queen of the Third Race as she sighed then while giving them a look, "I'm sorry, but it would be best to not mention that person for the time being, until it is time."

The Queen would be thankful, however, as she has seen the future and realized those that Merida knew and loved would be safe from harm, even all those that would be merged from this Realm to hers as such… But a few other mortals in that Realm. Perhaps that is why this is occurring as well… Fate and Destiny better realize what they are doing.

David and Fox thought were suspicious of why Titania did so and with Puck presently smacking his lips before pouting, yet decided to do things currently as Puck still, within the Eyrie Building… And making sure their hard work doesn't at all go to waste to keep the structure as such.

They all then heard an unusual, shrilling chime from the pillar, and saw one of the rings as the first one started to disintegrate with also Titania sighing to them all, "It has commenced. In a day and another in Merida's, we will then be merged without us knowing… So," She turned to them with a small smile, "I suggest no one at all leaves this building, and perhaps, I will visit once this is all over." They covered their eyes as if with a flash, she was gone.

Seeing the child stirring immediately in her sleep, they all glanced at each other in the wonder of what to do at this point.

Back in Merida's Original Realm, at Roxanne's Apartment. Three hours later, at night (7:02 pm):

---

Not realizing the fate of her Godchild along with her current adventure, Roxanne simply kept busy as she was so close to unlocking what Megamind had, yet was also still stumped.

She hung the last card the way he had it back at the base and sighed to herself while deciding she needed a break. She didn't though see that Hal was near her window yet he chickened out and decided to do it when he was an official "Hero", and left-back to his apartment to prepare.

Roxanne gathered around to then make herself dinner and paused while doing a double-take as a man was unexpectedly in her kitchen and having some of her recently finished Earl-Gray Tea and gently sipping it as he wore a dark green and yellow undershirt, business suit, and black suede, and had a cane with a diamond on top lying nearby him as well. "Umm… How did you get into my home, Sir?"

Roxanne didn't understand why, but she strangely felt that being respected instead of accusing the man before her, was better as if she didn't, she wouldn't like it.

The man chuckled lightly to himself before confusing Roxanne by his soft words as if he was being mysterious, "Of course you won't recognize me as, after all, that Dark Mortal did place memory blocks on most of your recollections of the others except those you somehow kept, Ms. Ritchie."

That startled her while her heart thumped before she instantly clutched her head and leaned on the counter as once she saw his eyes, she felt an immediate pain to which he gave a sympathetic gaze towards, "It is understandable as such, and in due time that block will be released slowly yet surely. So if you could trust me…" the man got up and headed over to her gently with oddly having eyes a friend would have, "I can remove most of them as that particular wand was used."

Roxanne, while in pain, soon nodded without meaning to before she jumped with eyes wide as energy was being pumped from the man's fingertips right to her temples, and wondered why he… No, wait… Why… "Loki?" Roxanne hesitantly states as the name sounded right yet still unfamiliar as he nodded with a sad smile yet kept doing this until it hit to at least several minutes later, and pulled back with Roxanne having tears in her orbs as she immediately hugged him along with instantly remembering who he was.

"It's ok Rox, I had a suspicion there was more than other things that old coot and his accomplices have done over the years. This being one of them," Loki gently confides in one of the few mortal friends he made during Lily's time, and she nodded before her eyes went wide and got Loki confused before he understood what she meant, "Will you take her then?"

"No… Not at this point and time as I was barely lucky that Father let me out, and I do not want him to discover her yet. As you realize what he has done to my other children over the years, Rox," Loki solemnly states with her hearing he wanted to do so, but she understood immediately as her mind mostly unblocked thanks to him, and nodded sadly in agreement while she decided she wasn't going to cook diner at home and later order out.

She was once again confused though as he seemed to have stilled, before looking on in amusement, "It seems that forces within this world and both Fate and Destiny are going to do something unusual to our world… Eventually soon… But it won't be a good story for your reporting skill, Rox, as it would be common knowledge after it occurred. With you, and a few various others being the only ones in the know… Particularly since I sense Merida has altered once again for her to unlock more things that she would eventually need to be taught, as years go by."

Roxanne gave him a perplexed stare with a hint of suspicion, and affirmed in a stated question in reply while grabbing a cup of tea he still left out, "What do you mean?"

He, however, only chuckled as he finished his drink, and then placed the cup into the sink while also giving her an amused look; making her give him a real look in return at his cryptic words, after, "Only in due time you will know."

He paused before scowling slightly, and sighed to get Roxanne to solemnly nod at him while he grabbed his cane, "It seems I have to head back, otherwise Heimdall would have to honor his words, and report my doings to Father."

He waved as Roxanne merely blinked, and he was gone yet he left two perfectly wrapped gifts in his colors that had her and Merida's full name on them, and then to get her to chuckle while finishing her tea, mentally sighed and got around immediately to go out to eat. It's just one of those days with him… I hope you can officially meet her soon, Loki.

The next day on August 5th, 2008 (September 5th, 1998 in Gargoyle Realm). Within the Mid-Morning at 10:32 am:

---

Angela woke up, with her still oddly enough, laughing and touching the collar that fused to her skin and recalling being notified that she was like the others now except a full-on Gargoyle that for once, cannot turn to stone and yet, she gained full regeneration.

She sighed before recognizing her Clan as Stone Gargoyles to which was unusual for her as she recalled they stayed as instructed by Queen Titania within the building- She stilled instantly before her mind came back as she heard a cute roar-like yawn before feeling a familiar weight laying on her and seeing Merida refused to at all part with her at all last night, and mentally sighed while brushing the child's hair, about her current situation.

Angela, however, was glancing with a small tint on her cheeks at how Broadway looked like a Stone Gargoyle. I hope my situation can be fixed… I truly don't want to be the only one not like my Clan.

"So… The Little One is still sleeping? For shame," a familiar voice states to get Angelia to tense yet glanced to see it was Puck as he was floating comically in the air in a relaxation pose you would be in if you were in a hammock.

"What are you doing here, Puck?" Angela asked hesitantly as he simply chucked while opening an eye and peeking at her from his position in the air, "Oh… Nothing much. I'm just here to make sure you two woke up, that's all, by the Rich Man's words."

Angela was hesitant still with oddly enough feeling guarded, yet gave him a curt nod while he also chuckled before noticing the child was purring in her sleep, "I suggest that she also wakes up soon, as breakfast awaits to the Princess of Dragons," Puck declares to get Angela to blink briefly at recollecting she was dubbed that, and he then vanished with a poof of smoke.

Her tail lazily twitched a few moments later as she then sighed, and then tilted her head while she commenced to gently rouse Merida from her sleep, "Hey Little One, it's time to get up."

She didn't expect when she did, for the child to sneeze that same energy Merida did as a dragon, thankfully, at the wall away from the other's stones forms and sweatdropped nervously at that, Princess of Dragons indeed.

Merida though, immediately did a cute yawn while showing Angela her sets of teeth alongside her inward mouth briefly before she blinked her eyes cutely and with them being glazed a few moments, before gazing at her in confusion for barely a few seconds and soon was beaming while at the same time, tiredly saying as she once again began to lay in her arms, "Don't wanna get up Sissy… Tired."

Angela held back a chuckle at this as she recalled her antics at wanting to stay in bed, and made Merida yelp as she almost fell off her before Angela caught her with Gargoyle reflexes as they sat on the couch now, and the child tiredly pouting at this to make Angela smile before slyly looking at her as Merida soon got up, and went to the bathroom that the Clan's Compound was given, in a hurry.

Merida though, after she was done a minute later, was terrified at what she saw in the mirror the bathroom had as this was the actual first time she even paid attention to herself and beholding her old change and new, while touching her skin along with other places, in fearful shock at this.

Angela though started to worry as it was seven minutes later and she decided as the door was ajar to go into the room, and froze as Merida was clutching her tail while oddly enough, crying light green colored tears and was also looking down at the floor, "Hey… Shh- It's ok, what's wrong Merida?"

What the child said while looking up at her with a sniffle, held back rage at whoever filled that idea into the child's head, "I… I am a freak, I never p-paid at-attention when I was wi-with my Auntie Roxi all th-this time, a-and they were right!"

Angela, without much of an option, grabbed the little girl while ignoring her colored tears possibly staining her shirt as she merely held the little girl until she calmed down and with Angela mentally reminding herself to consult with her Clan about this along with Elisa… If she ever at all awakens from what she still knew, in that medical wing.

Once Angela cleaned Merida's face, the child didn't at all say anything thought-based as when she changed to her dragon form, her former collar was also adjusted to where she won't say everything she thought without it being actual words.

So Angela decided to lead the still saddened child with her to the Dining Hall and with Puck being changed into his alter ego at last: Owen Burnett as such, and led them to the others currently up and about while awaiting a late breakfast as the man having an understanding look in his orbs as such.

Once they were in the Dining Hall, they saw that David, Fox and within fancy pajamas for David and a nightgown that matched her tattoo for Fox, and to make Merida go from Angela and stunning them briefly by accidentally teleporting to the female on the question, Demona's arms as she also startled Angela by her looks currently, "Mother?"

Demona sighed while privately not wanting to at all to clarify why she looks like this now as she is that of a pale-skinned red-haired, green-eyed woman, and with a striking resemblance to her Gargoyle Form (close enough that the musculoskeletal structure of her Human Head and her Gargoyle Head are virtually identical), and wore a teal nightgown that did show her curves and bust slightly.

"Hello, Daughter… Umm, how was your first normal sleep?" Demona decided to say instead of maybe seeing Angela's eyes looking primarily at her body with tons of questions, and Angela shrugged while glancing at herself slightly as she wrapped her wings as she does, Demona realized, to when Gargoyles want to rest their wings, "Not too bad… But it felt weird to be that way."

The couple and Demona nodded as they saw Angela unconsciously touched her neck before she shook her head as Demona mentally sighed in understanding yet begun to worry about the child as well as the strange connection she was told last night between her, and primarily everyone, stating it (hers though more to what Puck stated), was similar to something she had before, "Why is the Little One feeling fear with the sadness of herself?"

Eyeing the look that Angela gave them, they merely nodded as the servants commenced serving the food and discreetly shooting looks at the child mostly as her mood shifted as she eyeballed all the food, and let's just say they gaped at how much a child like her ate.

Once done while still being surprised as the child didn't at all gain weight, they saw her stiff in place and looked like she was getting ready to sneeze, "Go under!" Angela states as they followed her advice as Demona (who still held Merida), went wide-eyed as the child sneezed that energy as it burnt a wall and the wall looking also frozen with a few sparks dismissing itself while she sniffled, and Demona awkwardly grabbed a few napkins and the child blew her nose while to her surprise once again, her napkins disintegrated into nothing afterward. It seems she is more interesting as time goes on.

"It seems her title is justified slightly," David states aloud as Fox saw a servant handed her child to the red-haired woman now: Alexander that is, and she thanked him while he merely bowed before leaving and Owen coming over while he held an amused gleam in his eyes as Alexander hiccupped and David immediately sighed as his hair changed to purple briefly, before going back to normal.

Fox though saw Merida's curiosity over her child and recalling what the blood work states yet figured perhaps since she was related to her yet from another realm, perhaps her mother might be right about things, "Do you want to hold him?"

David was surprised at that yet also understood as Demona not so much as Merida seemed hesitant, yet nodded, as despite being his age, he has yet to speak or even walk for more than a few several steps and held his curiosity at her as well, and surprised the couple since he didn't at all fuss in strangers hold.

"Are babies always this easy to hold Mrs. Fox?" Merida asked to make them all blink as her voice came from the crown on her head, and witnessed the middle star-based gem glowing as she spoke, and Fox shrugged and was standing near Demona as she was feeling uncomfortable by having two children on her lap, "Not true, as Alex here tends to fuse in anyone's hold he doesn't know very well… But it oddly seems you're an exception, Merida." Though I wonder how she knew who I was before I was even gotten to tell her my name, Fox also thought to herself while seeing her son suck his thumb while eyeballing Merida as Merida merely held the child as they started talking to each other, figuring out what to do before they all stilled as they all heard that familiar chime happen, and the area shook briefly before stilling.

"It seems, Sir," Owen began while looking out the window, "That the second ring is gone." As indeed the second ring was gone as both remaining rings immediately chimed once during the netting within the middle, before being repelled against each other.

"Then it will occur today then… Are the preparations as your true self seen to them, Owen?" Davis states to himself before asking as they all stood up while Fox took Alexander and went to feed him in the nursery as Owen nodded while eyeing secretly on how Merida oddly enough, clung to Demona as if she was closer to her then the others, "Indeed Sir. The preparations I have done as Puck are done with efficiency."

David only nodded before eyeing Demona, Angela, and Merida before stunning the two females as Merida just looked to where Owen was then leaving as ordered, "Then perhaps you should go as Puck once again, and use your magic to bring all their things here, within the Eyrie Building, as I have a feeling things will change when this strange event… Occurs." David truly felt that as he has a feeling he may also get competition for being wealthy as well.

"What is your game, Xanatos?" Demona firmly asked with a raised eyebrow, yet David saw that her eyes held suspicion mixed with surprise by his orders to the Trickster of the Third Race.

"Nothing, as I was thinking perhaps you should also stay as well, particularly if Merida here would rather you do so at how she sticks to you currently," David states with a hint of amused eyes and a sly smirk, and even Angela chuckled as it was true while Demona sighing at this, yet she oddly enough, though this was familiar somehow, yet can't quite place it on holding Merida like this.

Eventually, David left them while Angela decided to speak to her mother now, even if Merida was hearing them talk about the topic she still wanted to know, as Demona looked away as she asked this and sitting next to her then while they felt awkward at each other, "Can you perhaps explain why you look human, and not Gargoyle, Mother?"

Before Demona could, they looked at Merida as she blinked cutely yet innocently at them both while think-stating to them as indeed knowing the child was bright yet also more knowing, recalling what Demona remembered and what Queen Titania commented last night, "Is it from Mr. Puck's Spell still?"

"Spell?" Angela questioned as Demona sighed before explaining her history to her child and Merida being surprised there was more to Demona's history than the show detailed while Angela was a mixture of sadness, shock, and half-understanding of her mother's plight-like past. "... And that's why I rather not be around your Father now, as he hasn't changed like I have over the years, and his mind is still the way it is also when it comes to certain humans."

Demona's explanation took no more than nearly thirty-four minutes while seeing Merida listened to her as if, she told a truthful yet sad story if her eyes didn't show it as she did cry a single tear in which Angela got a napkin, and wiped the girl's face briefly.

Seeing Angela needed time to think about this, Demona told her to possibly head to the Library as she well knew they held the Clan Laws and history and inwardly thanking David for once on that as she reluctantly nodded and left, with Merida looking at her then as she asked her, "What is it?"

Demona blanched at her innocent question as her tail swished back and forth eagerly, "Can you play a game with me?"

Delilah immediately came out of hiding to make Demona raise her left ridged eyebrow secretly while being escorted by Puck, and popped away while sighing then, and nodded.

---

With Megamind currently:

---

"Yes, I have it… But why did you set it up to be like the Sun-Beam Laser, Minion?" Megamind states in both a mix of being excited and annoyed as the blue man dehydrates the child's food to stay warm as Minion oddly enough, felt the need to prepare more room and not knowing he was giving some small influence by Fate to do so.

Megamind saw the percentage at 21% and rising, and hoped nothing at all bad would occur when he activated the machine as earlier, as they officially graduated Hal as a Hero, and he wanted to wait a bit more before doing his plan.

"This has better work," Megamind nervously states to himself while seeing to his annoyance, the number only went up by one.

---

Medical Wing, a few hours later:

---

Elisa was waking up slowly while feeling like she was hit by three trucks yet her body also felt like it was lead since she could barely move a muscle as she at long last, started to wake up.

Once her bleary eyes opened, she was confused as to why she was in a medical ward and slowly looking around, and then saw to her surprise that not only it was daytime still, but Angela was not a Stone Gargoyle as she held Merida as she too, passed out cutely as a little sister would on an elder sister, but Demona within her human form, was reading Delilah a book she oddly enough understood as if it was in plain English, but it was truly in Latin.

Demona, noticing that she was awake, gave her oddly sympathy-like stares for once in her life that Elisa noticed of her, and states while giving the book to the clone (Elisa recalled) as Demona approached her, "How are you feeling?"

Suspicion reached Elisa's orbs yet she hesitantly complied and inwardly wincing at how dry her voice sounded from what she guessed was lack of water, "Somewhat. Where am I?"

"You're currently at Xanatos' building, Maza, and possibly a patient until you not only get better but… Adjust to things," Demona tells her while getting Elisa to look at her in brief confusion before she froze stiff in small fear and recollecting what Damian did to her in that room, "Please don't tell me that crazy man did…" she trailed off as her tail landed gently on her lap to get fear even more in her orbs as Demona sighed while heading over and eyeing her children- Where did that thought come from? All I know is both Delilah and Angela are mine?

Shaking her head, she grabbed the blood work from Elisa and handed it to the weak detective… former detective at this rate of her status, "He somehow accomplished his goals while trying to break you... Even trying to brainwash you into forgetting certain things yet that failed. Your new blood mixed with your old strangely combined and restored your injuries and mind as you were passed out, and was still altering your genetic makeup to that of a unique version of… Us."

Elisa gulped at that as beholding the worried look she had on her face, they jumped while blinking as a hand mirror from the 1990's Beauty and the Beast randomly materialized nearby on their stand and made Demona shortly guessed to make Elisa blanch by her words then, "I think you were given the gift of magic as well, Maza… Odd Magic that I feel is different yet similar to Merida's, yet also different from Puck's."

Feeling somewhat stronger yet weak still, Elisa shakily reaches out and froze at seeing her non-human hand but fought the urge to freak out while grabbing the mirror, and once she saw herself, many questions ran throughout her mind yet she had no words to say the least: The Mad Fool was indeed able to change her race into a Gargoyle.

"Is this why you are giving me pity though, Demona?" Elisa decides to ask softly yet in bitterness that the red-haired woman saw, and looks away before expressing and getting Elisa to gawk at her then in shock, "No, not pity Maza. Understanding mixed with sympathy as unlike you, I have to go through my changes every night and day from that Trickster's doings with agony and yet, to what I saw the record of what we were able to salvage alongside the owners of this building," Elisa was worried as Demona for once, shivered in actual fear by this, "I am glad whatever was occurring as, by your face, you don't recall anything… Do you?"

Elisa shook her head with Demona oddly looking relieved and before Elisa could ask, they turned to see Merida was waking up as Angela slept on.

They all jumped or, however, woke up by the third ring occurring to then get Elisa to proclaim loudly yet weakly at that, "What on earth was that?"

"That would be that Pillar in effect still," Demona states to relax yet make Angela also tense up, before seeing in relief of Elisa being awake.

"Pillar?" Elisa asked before she did a silent 'Oomph' as Merida hugged her in relieving happiness, for some reason.

Once Elisa was told why was going on, Demona held back a chuckle by the wide-eyed, gaping face she gave the cursed Gargoyle as she then remarked with her looking upwards as Merida and Delilah currently talking to each other while playing a game, and with Angela to keep them busy, "If it isn't one thing… It's another, huh?"

Demona only nodded as she sat down and eyeing what her mind and oddly her magic and heart told her were, well… her children, and glanced at Elisa as she had her arms crossed, "Yes… As you should have seen what occurred while you were here, Maza. Let's just say that it won't be unforgettable, and leave it at that."

Elisa gave her a look at her words, yet shrugged while she sighed inwardly at herself at seeing her look in the mirror on her hospice-like bed still, her wings gently suspended, and many emotions running through her. This will have to take some getting used to… But man am I- Elisa blinked as in her free left hand was oddly enough, a glass of clear yet freshwater while Demona sighed as the former detective looked at her in a 'What' look of disbelief, by her sudden offer, "I may have to teach you some minor control of that magic… Like I have recently started with our… Child-like Clone, I guess? As she showed signs of magic as well."

Elisa though didn't at all detect deception in the red-haired woman's tone of voice, and mutely nodded while eyeing the glass of water, and she eyed with soft eyes at glimpsing a child that did resemble mostly her hid a giggle as Merida soon made the paper they were folding for their game, move by her magic.

Later with Elisa surprised yet was informed it was the same thing with Angela about her recovery… Merida wouldn't at all stop being nearby her alongside Demona, and made Elisa hid a smile since she was tending to the changed woman like a child playing nurse, and Demona oddly finding as well, this being somewhat cute for the children as Angela went to the Library once again as her collar fully absorbed into her neck and leaving runes she felt was familiar, yet wanted to look into them.

Though it didn't help the strange feeling of the new limbs Elisa had, with Demona secretly glancing at her in concern yet had a fake look of sorts as she turned away.

"So… When do you think that this bizarre Pillar, would activate?" Elisa asked as she may have guessed that the others wouldn't be moving about to experience this as Demona merely sighed, and stated plainly to her as Elisa oddly enough, detecting a hint of small fear in her tone secretly, "Not entirely sure as that third ring was supposed to go away not till three hours from now."

Elisa simply nodded her head as she mentally groaned while her tail kept whacking her sides, and gave Demona a look in which Demona showed an amused one in return by Elisa complaining about it, "Is there a way to manage this… This thing? It seems to have a mind of its own- Crap sorry Angela," Angela then got briefly whacked by Elisa's left-wing immediately and accidentally spilling, thankfully, just water.

"You have to learn as we all did in those, I'm afraid, Maza," Demona states slyly as Elisa sighed while holding the bridge of her nose in irritation as her tail she without looking, grabbed it, before it could whack her side once again yet winced in surprise as she was in brief pain, "Idiot, you don't just firmly grab your tail… It's one of the few most sensitive parts any Gargoyle has!" Demona chastised the former detective as Elisa just blinked while letting her tail go in surprise at how motherly she was.

Merida though to amuse Demona instantly, brought out and thanks to Owen with a glint in his eyes at his small task, came over while having a spoonful of medicine as she thought-stated to Elisa, the female refused instantly at seeing it was castor oil, "Open wide, please!"

Shaking her head no, Merida immediately pouted with her eyes wide open along with her head tilted to her left to make them wonder where she learned that trick, and Elisa, nearly a few minutes later, caved as she reluctantly opened her mouth and nearly gagged at the taste of said oil while Owen alongside those in the room, held back a smile or grin at this.

"Is Big Sissy better?" Merida thought innocently while leaning to get Elisa a better look at her, yet the three adults and teen-like Gargoyle paused and blinked at what title she dubbed the former detective, "W-What did you call me?" Elisa then asked in shock to confuse Merida as Delilah came over and Demona's eyes widening along with Owen/Puck's at seeing Delilah and Merida's tails curled with each other slightly at the end, "Big Sissy… You don't like that?"

Elisa sighed while looking at the child's orbs as despite her mind declaring she isn't in body, yet she oddly enough felt Merida was indeed one, and said with a half-smile that was in mixed emotions at that, "It's ok, Pearl. Just need to keep reminding myself about it, that's all."

Elisa though wondered why she realized what Merida's name meant, yet it seems her words were the right choice to say, however, as Merida hugged her while she then awkwardly patted the child's back without trying to claw her.

"So you're awake then like Owen claimed as such," David states as Fox, who now wore a simple yet fancy dress, was behind him while they were both also amused at observing Elisa being tended to by the two children still, yet inwardly shrugged at this as well since it seems harmless.

"Yes… But is it true of this odd event happening? As it's hard to believe this then the other situations I've been in?" Elisa decided to ask them.

David to her ire only shrugged as Fox gave her a look while crossing her arms and no hint of anything to deceive the former detective, "If what Mother states was true… Then perhaps it will be. But I have an unusual feeling we would be in a different Area or something within New York though."

Without warning though, they felt the area shake briefly before it settled, and saw from the nearest window at said location, the last ring was instead of disintegrating, was glowing along with the runes on the ring itself, glowing a hue of colors, and the obelisk-like pillar's own doing the same.

One rune dimmed as the area shook briefly once again before it settled, as everyone was either holding onto someone or the building itself.

"If this is what that thing does, then I'm not looking forward to the rest of it," Elisa dryly states to herself as everyone mutely agreed while Merida to widen their eyes looked like she was about to- "Achoo!"

Though when she sneezed, it was a cute roar of sorts as she sent a bouncing blast of energy that kept bouncing all over the building until it escaped from a lower floor window that was opened, bounced some more outside until it hit a vegetable stand that then fried them all, and everyone quickly taking the stuff as the seller stated out loud, my vegetables!

David then got an odd device that looked mostly like a watch, and he didn't like the look it showed him as another rune began to dim from the ring yet this time, the sky was briefly multi-colored as a rainbow for nearly several minutes before returning to normal. "It seems we have less time than we thought for what your mother stated, Fox."

They all froze though as an odd, powerful, male voice claimed all around them as if an echo within the building itself, "There is more to come before the day is done... Time itself will arrange, with the world chosen to fuse upon. Mostly all the past and present collide as those that would have lived, are brought back to life. Take heed of the words of those that merge that both lives will be as one. Before the time is done, and new and old life collide. If the dead merge with the living, however, a surprise is what awaits... Take heed to those that unexpectedly are the next choice to be made. Doors will open; Worlds will meet, as agreed upon by those using the Pillars I bestowed upon them. As when one door opens, many other hearts will be met, friended, or loved while rivalry, betrayal, and hate would occur. The Realm itself would be safe until the Chosen Ones save it from the Chosen Tainted Darkness' Wrath. Prophecy New and Prophecy Old will collide and bring many challenges, and hope and devastation would await for those Chosen to bring all Good and Evil, as one…" they all then heard the chime once again as a rune dimmed on the ring leaving seven runes left.

"Was that… Mother, was that a-" "Without a doubt my child, that was indeed a Prophecy forced upon us," Demona states while interrupting her child's soon-to-be question as they all pondered this before to their surprise, two runes dimmed on that ring to get David to give a silent signal to Owen as he nodded, and left to become Puck for what the Trickster confidentially explained to him and Fox earlier about the Pillar, and wanted to make sure everything is set for their safety.

The weather then went off outside as it mixed with rain, snow, hail, and multi-colored lightning that randomly stuck on the ground below and even hit the man that was complaining about his stand for vegetables. Then it stilled in place before reversing the weather itself, then rained again a few times before the clouds departed.

"It seems whatever or whenever the runes on that last ring dim, anything chaotic would occur…" Fox murmured aloud as they witnessed this; even Elisa as they had no choice but to wait it out with mostly David preparing for what was to come as Fox, Elisa and Angela stayed with the children as Fox's child in her arms now while Demona decided to use this rare time to check the library as within a few short hours, a lot of random things occurred as it was on the last glowing rune at this moment.

There were random appearances of prehistoric creatures (which some secretly ran from the vortex to be returned), nightmares or dreams temporarily made real, and a lot of other things. Even an appearance of a few other related, alter versions of who Merida was, secretly leaving gifts in a chest to not be opened until was eleven (by the same voice as per order for the forcibly, the third Prophecy placed), showed temporarily.

At last though while Merida felt she needed to be close to them and with Demona coming back with a few books as she, Merida, Delilah, and Elisa were now playing a game that an alternative version of Merida, left by accident: Dragonwood (6) that is, from an unusual, cat-like girl named Hoshiko (7), and Merida herself touched the feline girl's pretty Weapon she was practicing with by accident as well before she left as an unusual mark resembling Hoshiko's mark on Merida's right palm on her right hand, from that.

"How are you so good at this… human-like game," Demona states to primarily Merida as she has won three times as of now on the game itself while liking the creature-like aspect it had, and Merida shrugged as she gathered the cookies that Owen dropped off for them, Delilah chewing on some of her first-ever treats since the facility, "I'm not sure Ms. Demona, but I tend to beat my cousin at any game."

Before they could ponder as to why she then shivered afterward, the last ring's rune began dimming as the ring oddly enough, went right into the Pillar, and the runes from that object started glowing.

Unexpectedly, a bright light showed as everyone was in a specific place, along with the building itself still in New York, but Demona, Elisa, Merida, and Delilah, were not there.

With Megamind…

"Nearly there… And it's done!" Megamind states with relief as the screen flashed repeatedly it was at 100% and ready to initiate, and Megamind pressed the button before being sent to the wall by the explosion it caused and leaving him oddly unmarked yet left a charred outline on the said wall he was on, as the Pillar's intentional purpose became this world's reality.

What he saw once Minion came over and helped him out, they blinked at seeing the four currently passed out while two odd eggs from the game made real, were nearby them as well as Demona though oddly enough, wore the Potter Crest as a neck price around her neck, "Ah Bollocks."

(I was going to leave it here, but I figured maybe this would give you all to wonder how this would be possible for Demona)

Moments before within Demona's Heart, before their arrival:

---

Demona was confused as she was presented as her Gargoyle self, and was floating in a vast space of emptiness.

What is this wretched place, she thought to herself before glimpsing an unusual light in the distance, and it grew closer and closer until it stopped right in front of her by mere inches, and froze at oddly hearing her voice reply to her in amusement, "Can't you tell, Demona? We're within your inner self of sorts."

Narrowing her eyes at the strange light ball near her floating body and with the ball of light oddly enough, circling her slowly as if judging her, then implored with suspicion, "How did you know who I was?"

The light ball paused on her left and gently expressed in words to also make Demona blink at them, "I have been with you oddly enough, ever since I died and you were born. I was of course amazed I was a creature of the night, but thank the Gods I was reborn in this life with magic, like the last."

Eyes wide immediately in sharp understanding of what this spirit was yet she narrowed her eyes then while firmly raising a question to the ball of light, and hearing a sigh come from said orb as it floated to her right then, "Who are you?"

"I was thinking of holding back the introduction and yet, I figured you would ask that," the ball of light states while being in front of her now, and Demona going wide-eyed at who she was, "I am Merida's Mother... Her birth mother, and soon to be exited from your body due to the Fusion Pillar affecting both of us."

Demona immediately was curious by what the spirit meant as her arms instantly crossed as her body still floated within this empty-like void, "Perchance you can explain things?"

The orb or Lily, sighed once again before to make Demona close her eyes, and then open them once the bright light dimmed, and was startled to see a human standing before her that is similar yet different.

The woman was of course around her height along with the hair and even had a slim yet slender figure but she had the same green eyes Merida had (normally that is) and resembles slightly to her yet also had a heart-shaped face, "I am Lily Maria Evans née Laufeyson, and Merida's Birth Mother. I died saving my child that very night to only get dragged by Death herself back then to be reborn, and eventually reunited with her. And yet… I and Death were encountered by three sisters you know of," here Lily showed a Demona-like scowl to then anger Demona at this as well, "Interfered and added their terms by the orders of a God, from my child's Birth Realm, and then forced me to watch your own life without a chance at aiding you. Even supporting you… Until now."

Demona looked at the woman before her, and sighed while guessing from what she recalled of past lives, "So what happens to you then?"

"I will be able to pass on… But since the Pillar would affect us both, well… From what I was told by Death before we engaged with each other," Lily began to ponder Demona as to where she may have encountered this "Death" person at all within her (she figured), as Lily seemed to be pacing within the void and using her astral fingers to list them off, "For starters: My old blood is now your new blood, combined. You would be able to freely shift immediately thanks to that Trickster's Spell without pain... Anytime you desired to as a Human or a Gargoyle," Demona went wide-eyed on that with inward glee mixed with relief, "Your Magic would slowly increase to the point you will need a focus, however, and possibly a remake of the old wand I used to have with whatever you get should work… And you would gain all my memories as well, and maybe…" Lily murmured the last part to which Demona raised an eyebrow ridge at her and asked aloud to startle Lily, "And what?"

Lily sighed while making Demona wide-eyed at her last words, "You would be Merida's Spokesperson within the Ministry until she is either declared a legal adult and with her Godmother Roxanne, or until she's at least fifteen years in age as my blood would see to it, along with a gift of sorts by Death herself. But you would also be Soulmates to someone I know, and he would truly need you at important times as even I witnessed your deeds, yet he would have it harsher as he was under the limelight of his brother mostly."

"So… Anything else I need to know, as this is a lot to take Lily," Demona sighed out while looking as she crossed her arms, and Lily looked away while trying to be thinking, before she sighed and looked at her with somewhat sad eyes mixed with hope and peace in her orbs, "Merida… My- Our child," that got Demona's attention at that, "Will have Soulmate's of her own, and most would judge by them as they would to you, as by Magical Law once you arrive, you will be declared myself and also your own, Demona."

"I see…" Demona murmured to herself while thinking of the possibilities of the strange feeling of the child being hers, was, in fact, Lily's old influence presently made real, and glanced at her while noticing the spirit fading, "So you are fading away- It's occurring soon, isn't it?"

Lily only nodded with a sad yet warm smile on her face as it looked like she was crying, yet she wasn't as an astral projection of herself since she truly couldn't, "Yes and once I do, all I said would occur, but- Huh?" Lily seemed to tilt her head upwards slightly as if hearing a voice of sorts before she nodded while looking at Demona with her look sad still, but with acceptance now added along with the others, "Seems you will be within capable hands until you fully recover as this would make you temporarily weak until a given point and time, Demona. Once you awaken, your gift will be around your neck... An item I had to wear to my own Grave, as such."

Lily, to stun the female gargoyle, hugged her as she was fading away quickly with her final, parting words, "Please watch out for our child, as I have a feeling the Three Prophecies would be both good and bad for her to experience."

Lily then faded away as Demon unexpectedly began falling downwards while clutching her head as in truth, Lily's memories then became her own as a bright light blasted all around her.

When she came to, she saw she was on the ground and was confused at looking at a big-headed, bald, blue-skinned man along with a gorilla-robotic suit looking at them while lastly hearing as she passed out, "Ah Bollocks."

Well, that's it for that chapter guys, as I hope this, and the upcoming "Eventual Chapters" would satisfy you guys until I upload the next set of chapters to my other works, as soon as possible.

With that being said, here are the numbers:

1: Yes I plan to introduce a certain "Female" and a few others eventually into this story like I am doing in my "Hoshiko Story", with good reasons as such.

2: Jamie Lynn Marchi is an American voice actress, ADR director, and scriptwriter who works for Funimation and Sentai Filmworks. She has provided voices for several English Language versions of Japanese Anime and Video Games. One voice as mentioned to "Rias Gremory from Highschool DnD".

3: Same as #1, but it did give you a hint who the certain female I plan to add is, huh?

4: I don't know that Anime that well, but the crown looked like a good enough design for what I have in mind for Merida.

5: Once again, I couldn't at all find the guy's detailed looks, so he is still based on the show itself still.

6: It is a card game based in real life, also quite addicting I might add, and for others to play it as well.

That's all folks till the next exciting chapter to Merida Story, peace out and keep safe.
