Chapter Three

X-Men Mansion:
Bobby and Rogue sat in the cafeteria eating their dinner, when Jean Gray burst into the room. She looked for Rouge for a second, found her and walked over. As Jean neared Rouge could tell something was wrong. The rest of the students could also and so all talking stopped. Jean looked at Rouge and said something the teen had been fearing for the past few months. "Magneto escaped."

Rouge felt like she might pass out and Bobby helped her out of the room. Once in the hall they were met by Scott and Storm, who escorted the student to Professor Xavier's room. The professor told Rouge to not leave the campus for any reason, if a dire need came up she was to get an adult to escort her.

"Professor, do you think Magneto will try to take her again?" Scott asked.

Before Xavier could answer Logan burst through the door. Scott frowned at him, but the others welcomed him back. Rouge gave him back his Dog Tag and he was told what had happened. They attempted to work out a plan, while Bobby tried to get Rouge to look on the bright side. Outside the sun set.

FOH headquarters:
"Tonight we strike! The freaks will be wiped off of the planet and it will be ours again!" The Friends of Humanity were holding a peep rally to prepare for what they faced that night.

***********
By Sing-Sing prison in Ossining:
The Quarry men all stood around the tracker and watched as it tuned in on the Gargoyles bio signs. When it located them they congratulated each other and realized they now had the power to kill the demons as they woke up or went to sleep. Tonight at midnight they would begin to perge the planet and make it their's once again.

*************

On Putnam Valley Elementary School:
The Gargoyles woke up with the usual roar. In the process of waking up they woke up Talon who had been asleep.

"Some protection you were." Brooklyn said with his eyes blazing.

"Well when do you think he would sleep?" Angela demanded.

"Who do you think would win, Brooklyn or Talon?" Fawks whispered.

"I'll put my money on Talon." Broadway said looking at his brother.

"Me to." Lex added.

"What do you think this is a game?" Kes demanded, "You should be ashamed betting on your brother and Talon. And you two" she said looking at the Brooklyn and Talon, "don't you think we have bigger problems than when Talon sleeps."

"But he went to sleep!" Brooklyn yelled.

"Who cares, so did we, but at least he would have woken up if anyone had come up here. Besides it's summer. The school is closed."

During all this Sita and Chryss had been talking. And now they both agreed on one thing. "Don't you think that we should head back to the city?"

"As long as these two can stop fighting." Fawks whispered.

"If they don't I'll take over." Kes declared.

"Let's just go."

With that they were off and started to the city. High in the sky above them someone watched their argument and laughed to himself. With nothing better to do he followed them.

************
Magneto's headquarters:
"Welcome back sir."

"Thank you Mystique."

"Boss, we have a surprise for you."

"What is it Toad?"

Alex tried to make himself as small as possible. All he wanted to do was get out of there and go home. These mean people had something bad in store for him. The man named Sabertooth came in and dragged him out to show to their boss. He took one look at Alex and said he would be perfect for the plan.

Suddenly Alex started to cry. All of the people around him looked at him confused. Alex, then got an idea. He whispered the word 'sleep' under his breath and watched as the people around him fell asleep. When they were all out he ran out the door and into a forest.

***********
At Castle Wyvern:
"Puck what's wrong?" Elisa asked when she saw the Fray suddenly concentrate.

"Alex just cast a spell"

"That means he's alive!" Fox yelled.

"But we still don't know where he is?" Kibou said trying to hide his frustration.

"Why don't you use a spell locator?" Kera asked forgetting she was not supposed to know about that stuff.

"A what?" Kitai asked.

Now everyone looked at Kera. The little red Gargoyle stuttered until her brother saved her. "It 's a spell that when cast it finds other spells and the people who made them."

"I've never heard of that." McBeth said as he looked at the two young Gargoyles.

"My clan is the only one that can do it." Kera said proudly.

"Only girls can." Tobias grumbled.

"Can you do it?" David said.

"I'll try."

***********
In the sky over Continental Village:
"Kes what's wrong?" her mate asked.

"Can you feel it?" Kes asked ignoring her mate.

"Someone just cast a spell." Sita said.

"Who do you think it was?" Talon asked.

"Maybe it's Alex." Lex said hopefully.

They continued to fly to the city in hopes they would be able to find their home, and Alex. Their stalker in the air above them continued to fly after them.

************
In the woods of Westchester County:
Alex ran for his life. As he ran he began to think that maybe this had not been such a good idea. Then he would think of the bad people and he ran faster. When his legs started to get tired he wished he could fly. That would definitely surprise his mom and dad, he could just picture it. He would gather his chi and fly like those people on that TV show he had seen one time.

Abruptly he was snapped out of his trance when he sensed Kera's presence looking for him. He tried to reach out to her but she left to suddenly. He was then left with only his thoughts and his tired legs.

****************
X-Men Mansion:
Xavier sensed a strange presence searching for someone. Almost as suddenly as it came he felt it leave. He could only think of this as a sign.

***************
THE TIME IS NOW 9:30.
*****************
Castle Wyvern:
"Kera, are you ok?"

"Alex is alive and tired, not hurt, but he's not in this world. He is also thinking about how hard it would be to fly."

"Without wings?" Kibou asked.

"At least we know he's fine." Hudson said

********************

Both the Quarrymen and the FOH got ready to purge their planet.

********************
At the Nightstone Unlimited building:
Demona paced, Fuzen had been missing for the past few nights and it was making her mad. Maybe it was time to pay Goliath a little visit and see if he knew what happened to her son.

****************
Castle Wyvern:
Owen suddenly glanced at the walls of the castle. And he announced that the wards he had place around the castle had been brought down by an evil force. The evil force entered the room they were in.

"Demona what do you want?" Goliath growled.

"I want my son." She demanded.

"Fuzen?" Maggie said getting confused.

"We don't know where that lad is." Hudson said.

Demona demand a tour of the castle to believe them. They then told her that all of the PIT people, the Quarrymen, Brooklyn, Angela, Chryss, Fawks, Kes, Lexington, Talon, Sita, Broadway, and Alex were all missing. For once Demona decided to work with the clan. They did not fully trust her, but her love for her son was genuine.

*************
THE TIME WAS NOW 10:30.
************

And time marched on as the Gargoyles, FOH, and the Quarrymen all headed toward one building: Xavier's School For The Gifted. Alex fell asleep some where in the forest. And the X-Men got ready for a fun night.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok sorry about the 'Chi' thing I've sort of been reading fanfics and watch a little to much Dragon Ball Z. Originally the part after Kibou asked 'without wings' Gohan was going to come in with a small part and ask 'what's wrong with flying without wings', but my boyfriend got me to cut it out. Also I do not live in New York, and yes all of the places such as the elementary school do exist. The X-men Mansion, Castle Wyvern, and the Nightstone buildings are all made up, so don't ask me where they are
