An Airplane is flying from California to New York through the illuminated skies. Aboard this plane is a woman she has brunet hair done in bangs it hangs down in front of her hazel eyes. She is wearing a Grey tank top and blue carpenter jeans with Hi-top Sneakers. In her lap sits an envelope addressed to her she takes out the letter and reads it. The letter says:

Dear Ms. Evans.

I have heard from a good friend of mine about your profession hearing about you made me wonder if what he said is true. Therefore, I am inviting you to come to Manhattan so we can talk "business". You don't have to worry about airfare or a place to stay "We" have provided it for you. All you need to do is to go to The Anvil Hotel on 5th Ave. and 83rd St. and show a Mr. Ryan Stephmore the object enclosed and he will handle the rest.

Can't wait to see you Mia Evans I hope that you can come.

J.C.

Ms. Evans then reaches inside the letter and pulls out a small golden hammer no larger than a cufflink she stares at it and places it back in the envelope and closes it. " Hmmmm the Quarrymen wanting me? Heh I guess I'm finally getting famous." Thinks Mia as a devilish smile crosses her face. She leans back in her seat and starts to relax as the plane sails through the air to its destination. She is about to fall asleep when there's a kicking on the back of her chair. Mia tries to ignore it but each kick gets progressively louder finally she loses all of her patience and turns around and peers behind her seat. There is a little snot-nosed 7-year own with dirty blond hair wearing red shorts and a yellow Dragon Ball Z shirt with Super Sayin Goku on the front doing his famous Kame-Kame Ha!

Ms. Evans just smiles at the boy, "Um little boy could you please stop kicking my seat." Ms. Evans says with a nice tone.

"Nooooo" says the child kicking the seat.

"But that is really annoying could you please stop." Says Mia trying not to lose it.

"Buzz off lady!" says the punk.

Mia sneers at the kid "Why you little ".

"Mom!" bellows the kid.

Then waddling towards her comes a woman with dirty blond hair in her late 30's wearing a overabundance of mascara and make up she is wearing a multicolored muumuu she looks she's somewhere in the 400lb. mark who just came back from the bathroom. "Hey! Leave my kid alone!" bellowed the large woman.

"Ma'am I was just trying to--".

"Shut up!" yells the woman cutting off Mia in mid-sentence. "My kid ain't bothering you so why don't you sit down and shut up!" yells the woman.

"Listen you--" says Ms. Evans as she jumps over the young man in the business suit with the ease of a world class gymnasts into the aisle.

"Um, excuse me. Is there a problem?" says a voice. Ms. Evans turns around and sees a redheaded flight attendant with blue eyes and a supermodel smile.

"Yes, Stewardess this woman is bothering me and my little boy." Sneered the woman.

"Me! It was your snot-noses punk of a kid who started it!" yells Ms. Evans.

"Um, If you're having problems with the seating there is a few seats left in the back of the plane? Says the bubbly stewardess with a valley girl accent making ever sentence sound like a question.

"I ain't moving!" says the woman.

"I ain't either." Says Ms. Evans as she crosses her arms below her chest.

"Um, since you are the one that caused this scenario Miss? I suggest that you move?" says the stewardess as she points at Ms. Evans.

"Me! Why me? I was doing everything right! Until her creep of a son started to kick my seat! You know what, forget it I'll move! You 3 are making me sick any way." Says Ms. Evans as she grabs her Light Blue Duffel Bag and walks to the back of the plane

Soon the plane touches down at J.F.K and people start to disembark the last one off is Ms. Evans carrying the light blue duffel bag slung over her right shoulder. She makes her way throughout the airport she sees the large woman that she had a fight with earlier head into the bathroom. She looks and doesn't see the kid. She smiles and walks into the bathroom she bends down and sees that the heavyset woman is in one of the stalls. She quickly checks the other stall to see if no one else is here but there is no one.

"Perfect." She thought s she sneaks into one of the empty stalls.

She waits until the woman comes out of the stall Mia soon she chops the woman across the throat driving the wind out of her she then grabs her by the hair and slams her face first into a wall. She then kicks her in the back of the knees and then the back of her head Ms. Evan then pulls her off the wall her make up leaving a multicolored blotch on the porcelain wall. Mia then drives her fist into her stomach, which drops to the woman to the ground. Mia then leaps high into the air and drops both of his knees into her back forcing her back down to the ground. She rolls her over straddles her hips and pummels her face with closed fists the woman's face. After a through pummeling, she picks her up by the hair and roundhouse kicks her into the stall.

"Light's out piggy!" says Ms. Evans kicking in her face breaking her nose.

Ms. Evans then takes the woman's bruised and battered face in her hands she looks into the woman's eyes, which are wide with fear. Then Ms. Evans then smiles lovingly at her and rubs the side of her bruised and battered face with her cheek. She stops and looks into the woman's frightened green eyes

"Your scared aren't you?" she says with a smile. A garbled yes passes through her swollen red lips "Mmmmmm and are you sorry for letting that bastard son of yours for kicking my seat." Says Mia in a soothing tone. The woman just lets out a garbled result "Mmmmmmm too bad that your child is goona be orphan." Says Mia as she snaps the woman's neck with a quick twist. "Probably you learn some politeness in your next life." Says Ms. Evans as she closes the stall door and walks over to the mirror straightens her hair and leaves.

She then and stops at a newsstand to peruse the magazines. One of the magazines catches her eye it's picture of a gargoyle silhouette gliding over the city in big bold white letters it reads: DO GARGOYLES REALLY LIVE AMONG US?" Mia just picks up the magazine and thumbs to the article and is about to read it when the owner of the stand a man of his late 40's with receding hairline and scraggily bead and looks a little unkempt.

"Hey are you goona buy it or not?" yells the man.

Mia just stares at the man and just reaches into her pocket and procures a couple of dollars and two quarters she plunks it down all gives him the finger and walks off. Outside the morning the sun shines brightly down upon her she hails a taxi and gets in.

"Where's to lady?" says the driver with a heavy Brooklyn accent.

"5th and 83rd" says Mia. "You got it?" says the driver as he pulls off to the desired location.

The cab finally arrives at The Anvil Hotel. A very large hotel easily rivals the Marriott or the Ritz. Mia then walks in past the doorman who is dressed in the hotel's colors let's her in. The inside of the hotel the lobby of it is huge with plush red carpeting in the center where the seating area the hotel buzzes with general conversation and the hotel staff walk along carrying on their responsibilities. At the front is the reception desk is a man wearing a dark blue suit with a matching tie and a white shirt. He has short black hair a medium build with blue eyes. She walks up to him with a friendly smile on her face

"Um Hello, I need to speak to a Mr. Ryan Stephmore please." Says Ms. Evans who blinks her eyes in flirtatious manner.

The young man sputters and pulls on his collar a bit

"Um yes right away." Says the man.

Ms. Evans just looks at him as he leaves his post and goes through a door in the back of the desk. A few minuets later a man comes out he stands at 6'3 and looks like he's in his early 30's. He has brown hair and matching eyes, he has a nicely trimmed brown mustache. His face is very statuesque but breaks away when he smiles. He is built like a linebacker but the suit that he wears finds some way to fit him he looks down at her and smiles invitingly.

"May I help you?" says the man in a deep voice.

"Are you Ryan Stephmore." Says Ms. Evans.

"Yes I am." Says Ryan still keeping that entrancing smile.

Mia blushes a little bit when he spoke to her sending chills to her bone but she quickly regains her composure."Um. Well umI got this letter in the mail and this little thing here." says Mia as she hands him the letter and the pin. "They said you would know what to do when you get it.".

"Ahhhhhh Ms Evans we have been waiting for you. Come with me." Says Ryan as he leads her to an elevator. "Is that all you have?" says Ryan as he takes the small suitcase from her.

"Um yeah just that and this." Says Mia as she pats the light blue duffel bag.

They get into the elevator goes up to the 4th floor and they both get off Ryan then opens the door and lets her in. Mia's feet touch the plush velvet carpeting and she looks around to the far right sets a beautiful nightstand with a lamp and a telephone. In the center of the room is a bed big enough for her and six other people with a mirror on the ceiling. On the far wall is couple of paintings from the Victorian era sitting next to it is a huge window complete with a balcony with a cool breeze blowing slightly through the silk curtains. On the far left is a large screen T.V and by the looks of it comes with a satellite.

"Oh. Baby!" screams Mia as she runs towards the large windows and onto the balcony.

"I guess everything is too your liking?" says Ryan as he walks towards the balcony.

"All that and more!" says Mia excitedly as the breeze blows through her brunet hair. "But there is one thing that could make this trip most worth it." Says Mia as she walks back into the room where Ryan stands at attention.

"What is that?" says Ryan who looks a little perplexed.

"Well my plane ride here was very long and I was hoping to unwind a little bit." Says Mia as she walks up to him and wraps her arms around his thick neck. "Probably you can help me to find away to unwind?" says Mia forming the words sensually with her mouth as she presses her body against his. Ryan's statuesque demeanor cracked as he Ms. Evans Body pressed up against him and she walked her fingers down to the swelling in his loins.

"Um" Ryan tries to protest but her slim fingers were put to his lips as she leaned in closer.

"Please I hate formalities just call me Mia". Whispered Mia as she bites on the lobe of his ear softly.

Ryan's defenses begins to break down. with every kissed she planted on his face melted away further protest he can no longer help himself and he wraps his huge arms around her slender waist he is about to kiss her when.

"Ahem. Am I interrupting anything?" says a familiar voice.

"Mr. Canmore!" says Ryan who twirled so fast that he drops Mia Square on her backside.

Jon Canmore stands there wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a black tie. His short blond hair hangs around her face n light strands that he brushes away with his hand. He crosses the room and walks over to Mia who has just picked herself off the floor

"So you must be Mia Evans." Says Jon as he extends his hand towards her in a friendly manner.

"And you must be the infamous Jon Canmore as she shakes it firmly.

"You can go now Ryan." Says Jon as he waves his hand dismissingly.

"Yes, Sir." Says Ryan who leaves the room.

"Now that we are alone let's talk business shall we." Says Jon.

"Fine since you already ruined the mood for me." Says Mia as she crosses her arms below the chest and scowls.

"So it's true that you are a gargoyle hunter?" says Jon.

"Yeah I am!".

"Hmmmm how come I have never heard about you before?" says Jon as he has a pondering look on his face.

"It's because unlike you Jon-boy I like to keep my hunting in secret unlike you who let every Tom, Dick, and Harry know what your're doing."

"I tried to keep my hunting them in secret with my sister and my brother. But our hunt caused my brother paralyzed from the waist down and my sister incarcerated all because of those damned Gargoyles!" says Jon.

Mia just blows some of the brunette strands out of her face with exasperation "Tch, I don't care what happened to you or your bonehead family!" says Mia who looks irritated.

"How! How! Dare you insult my family's legacy!" says Jon as he rises from his seat his lips curling into a snarl.

"Listen I don't care if everyone in the fucking Quarrymen is related I just want to get this shit over with." Jon clenches his fists he wanted to strike and he should in fact kill her for insulting his family's legacy but he calms himself down. "You say that hunted and actually killed some? That's hard to believe since I have reached such a level.".

"Yes I have.".

"Have proof?" says Jon as he folds his arms over his chest.

Mia reached inside her shirt and produced a necklace of teeth which all of them look like as if they belong to a canine. Every one of the teeth varied in shape and size.

"What are those?" scoffed Jon.

"Gargoyle teeth.".

"Tch, you can get those teeth from a dog.". "Oh yeah well check this out." Says Mia as she walks over to her light blue duffel bag and reaches inside of it and produces a large skull.

However, it wasn't human because of the size of it had brow ridges and large holes for the eyes and a well-defined jaw line with the two front teeth missing.

"Is that what I think it is." Says Jon as he looks upon the skull in amazement.

"Yes it is! Killed him 3 years ago in South California there was a whole clan of them living there. Tough sons of bitches too after my encounter with that clan I had my jaw wired shut, a broken arm, and some bruised ribs." Says Mia.

"Hmmmffff I still don't believe you?" says Jon as he glares at her.

"Oh yeah what about this!" says Mia as she takes one of the teeth of the necklace and puts it to in the mouth of the skull.

"What the.?" Jon looks on his mouth gaping at the sight.

"And if that don't convince you.." says Mia as she produces another skull or what was left of it half of the skull was gone and there were burn marks scorched the whiteness of the skull. "Heh this guy bit it the hard way! Now are you convinced of my skill?" says Mia.

"I am. What's your price?" says Jon as he stares at the half of a skull Mia held in her hands.

"$20,000 for my services and $10,000 for each gargoyle I bag.".

"Done! Do you need weapons?".

"Sure I travel light. So Mr. Canmore how do you want your gargoyles?" says Mia with a devilish smile.

At the police Station, Matt Bluestone is doing the paper work on a drug ring that was recently shutdown a few weeks ago. He nibbles at a cream cheese bagel, which sits on a paper plate to the right of him. He reaches over, grabs the steaming Styrofoam cup of Hazelnut coffee, and takes a small sip before he puts it down. Elisa comes in and hangs up her red jacket on the neighboring coat rack before sitting down.

"Hey partner!" says Elisa.

"Hey Elisa." Says Matt as he finishes the last of his reports.

"So what are you working on?" says Elisa as she leans over her to desk.

Matt then waves at Mia with his free hand since she was blocking his light" some arrest reports that the boys made last night.".

"Oh yeah what happened?".

"Some Pre-Spring Break Hi-jinx's you know. Vandalism, destruction of propertyetc the usual.

"Yep it's that time again.".

"Maza, Bluestone!" says Captain Chavez as she walks towards the both of them.

"What's up chief?" says Elisa.

"There's trouble at the airport." Says Chavez.

"What happened?" says Matt.

"A woman got murdered in the bathroom. I want you 2 to go and check it out. The uniforms there will fill you in on the rest." Says Chavez.

"Right Chief!" says Elisa as she leaves with Matt.

A short while later Elisa and Matt shows up at J.F.K they look around and sees several uniformed officers scattered around asking the staff and people there questions.

"Hey what happened here?" says Matt as he and Elisa walks up to one of the officers.

"Homicide." Says the officer.

"Where is the body?" says Elisa.

"In the ladies bathroom" replied the officer as he goes back to interviewing.

Matt and Elisa walk to the bathroom and enter on the floor lies the woman on her person is a white sheet covering her face. A photographer is taking pictures of the crime scene. Standing above the corpse is a man wearing a black trenchcoat and is wearing a suit similar to Matt's his long icy blue hair is tied into ponytail and trails along his back.

"Hey Vas." says Matt.

The man turns around he is a white male standing at 6'9 he has soft Grey eyes, which are covered by his small rimmed glasses.

"Ah Maza, Bluestone." Says Vas with a smile.

"A Idea on what happened?" says Elisa.

"Well accordingly to the female witness we interviewed she was found dead in the stall at 10:30a.m. She had just finished using the facilities when she noticed the woman's feet there. She tried to make conversation with Jane Doe while she was washing her hands when the corpse didn't respond she got worried if the she had suffered from a heart attack or something else.". Says Vas.

"Any ID on the stiff." Says Matt.

"Um. One Leia Carson.".

"So ho did she die." Says Elisa.

"Neck snapped cleanly done very professionally." says Vas.

" Any kids." Says Matt. "

"Yeah a 7-year old named Lyle. A couple of uniforms trying to calm the kid down now." says Vas.

"I'll go talk to the kid." Says Elisa.

"Ok partner." Says Matt.

Vas then bends down and produce a pencil he then lifts the sheet "Poor Gal. Who ever did this to her didn't pull any punches. Broken Jaw, Broken cheekbones two black eyes whoever did this did not pull any punches. But that ain't the worst the neck actually almost comes through the skin." Says Vas.

"How can you do that." Says Matt with a little disgust.

"Listen Bluestone when your're around stiffs as much as me you get used to it. I'm hungry do you want something." Says Vas as he rises to his feet.

"No thanks." Says Matt.

"Suit yourself." Says Vas as he leaves.

Meanwhile Elisa is walking towards a young Lyle who is bawling his eyes out.

"WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" cries loud.

"Shhhhhhhoney please you got to calm down says the female officer.

"I. I..Mommy!" yells Lyle who continues to cry.

"Hey can I take a shot?" says Elisa.

" Sure." says the female officer.

Elisa then bends down and takes the young child's hand

"Lyle Honey can you tell me what's wrong?" says Elisa in a sincere tone. The small child then looks at Elisa with his tear soaked eyes

"I..Wantto see" sniffles Lyle.

Elisa then looks back at the bathroom and then back towards Lyle

"Your mommy can't be here right now." Says Elisa still using that sincere tone.

"Why..?" says Lyle who stifles a sniffle.

"Welldid you have a favorite pet.".

"Yeah. My dog Mr. Wiffels but he's, he's" says Lyle before his eyes tear up again.

"What happened honey..".

"He died." Says Lyle.

"And what did your mommy said when your dog died.".

"She said when things die they go up to doggy heaven and they'll live happily for ever.".

"Well Lyle that's the same place your mommy went to." Says Elisa.

"She did?" says Lyle.

"Yeah she did. And like your dog she is up there, she is living happily. But you got to remember one thing Lyle." Says Elisa.

"What" says Lyle as he wipes away a tear.

"Even though people say that your mother is gone she is not. She still is alive."

"Where?"

"Right here." says Elisa as she points at his heart.

"Thank you." Says Lyle.

"Your Welcome Hun now you think you can answer a few questions for me?".

"I think so." Sniffles Lye.

"Now listen to me carefully. Do you know anybody that would want to hurt your mom?" says Elisa as she takes the young child's hands into hers.

"Um no my mother was real nice." Says Lyle.

"Think hard Lyle. What about today did anybody hit your mother or threaten your mother?"

"Um. ?No body I know but there was this lady.." says Lyle.

"What lady?".

"Some woman on the plane Her and my mother had a big argument it look like the lady was about to fight her." Says Lyle.

"Can you describe her?" says Elisa as she snaps her fingers and soon a female officer walks over to the both of them and takes down notes as Lyle describes the lady. After the questioning, Elisa comes back to Matt as they are carting out the woman on a stretcher.

"Find anything Maza?" says Vas.

"Yeah the kid gave us some sketchy details but enough of the info for the artist to pick up on." Says Elisa as she shows him a sketch of Ms. Evans.

Matt lets out a sharp whistle "Hmmmmmshe is a looker!" Matt says with a lustful smile.

"MATT!" yells Elisa.

"Sorry Elisa. Any one identify her yet" says Matt.

"Yes but only one." Says a officer as he walks up with a man in a business suit on.

"Hey do you remember seeing this woman?" says Elisa.

"Yeah I do she was sitting right next to me." Says the Man.

"Sir do you mind coming down to the station to answer a few questions." Says Elisa.

"Ok!" says the man.

Somewhere else in Manhattan is the Hammer corp. Building. It looms over several of the office buildings that are around it at the top of this building stands the Quarrymen's Insignia a giant hammer below it is the words Hammer Corp. written in gold letters. In the hallowed halls of this business, Jon Canmore is giving Mia the grand tour.

" Hmmmso these "Investors" are actually giving you money to run this company?" Says Mia.

"Yeah. This is true there are many people in this world that hate or fears these gargoyles. These type of people need someone to help them protect them to rid the world of this Gargoyle menace." Says Jon as he clenches his fist.

"And that's where the Quarrymen come in right?" says Mia with a distrustful tone in her voice.

"Exactly dear Mia. You know our ideas are similar we both hate gargoyles and will do anything to rid the world of them." Says Jon as he stops by an elevator and pushes a button.

Mia then gives him a raised eyebrow as the elevator dings and the doors open they both walk inside Jon presses a button and the elevators close.

"Please Jon you and me are not alike." Says Mia waving a dismissing hand.

Soon the elevator jolts and descends into the lower levels of the structure.

"I don't understand? Don't you hunt Gargoyles to get rid of them."

"Heh I'll kill anything if that person pays me enough.". says Mia not even looking at him.

"So your're nothing but a hired gun says Jon coldly.

Mia looks like she's just been slapped "A hired Gun? A hired Gun. Listen Jon-boy this hired gun is the person you wanted to kill these damn things! This hired gun has killed more gargoyles than you and your panty-waist Choir group ever could." Says Mia with a sneer fully curling her lip.

" Your sole purpose here is not to kill gargoyles." Says Jon still speaking in a coldly manner.

"Then what the Hell! You bring me here for if you don't want the killed," says Mia as she raises her fist in anger.

" Tomorrow night my "Investors are coming to Quarry Hall to see if they're money is not be wasted." Says Jon.

"So what you want me to do?" says Mia.

"I need you to capture a male and a female gargoyle to show to our ^investors". "Is that it? a simple snag and bag?" says Mia defeatedly. "

"No that is not it after the presentation we'll will kill them both." Says Jon.

"Got it! But I need weapons Jon and you showed me every nook and cranny of this building but I haven't seen as much as a laser pistol.".

The elevator beeps and the doors open to reveal a stockade of weapons and other types of technologies. Mia walks off the elevator like in a trance kinda like a kid in a candy store.

"Do you think that you can handle this arsenal?" says Jon.

"Yeah.." says Mia in a daze.

" Good then you'll start tonight" says Jon with a smile.

Nightfalls upon the isle of Manhattan the darkness cover the city like a blanket. Above the darkened skies Zero and Eternity is flying back to the castle with dinner in their hands.

"Yahoo!!!" yells Zero as he flies through the sky is wigs cutting through the sky.

"Hey slow down!" says Eternity as she struggles to keep up.

"What's a matter Eternity too slow?" says Zero as he dives straight down towards the city.

"ZERO!!!!" yells Eternity.

Zero dives towards the city like a falling Comet from a distance it looks like a dark blue falling star. Before he reaches eyesight of the unsuspecting citizens of Manhattan, he pulls up causing a slight wind to breeze through everyone below. Zero than comes up again to continue his flight back to the castle. Your Crazy, Zero says Eternity with a scowl on her face.

"Aw, C'mon lighten up! You know I wouldn't do anything to endanger us." Says Zero flashing a smile.

"One of these days doing all these stunts you're going to get caught."

"Tch, Whatever Eternity.".

"Is the food alright?" asks Eternity.

"Sure it is!" says Zero as he holds up a pizza box. "You think with all my crazy antics that I might damage the goods.".

"Yes. I can remember quite clearly when you try to do that barrel roll with the Chinese take out and covered a group of people in a combination of Fried Rice and Egg rolls.".

Zero laughs aloud "Heh I'm telling you should have seen those faces.". Says Zero as he continues to chuckles.

Soon the two gargoyles land on top of the tower and enter the castle.

"Food's here!" yells Zero as he comes in with a pizza Box.

"That's all" says Broadway disappointedly.

Eternity comes in wearing a backpack

"No the rest are in here.". Eternity than puts the bag on the table and pulls out several pizza boxes.

"Woo hoo!? Chow time." Says Brooklyn as he grabs a couple of boxes.

"Hey where's Angela and Singe?" says Eternity as she looks around.

"I'll get them." Says Blackwing as he trods off.

Blackwing makes his way into the Library Section of the mansion he doesn't have to walk long until he finds Singe. He is standing there leaning against the side of a bookcase with a little black book in hand with the words "Othello" written in gold letters. Angela is sitting there reading another book occasionally she gazes over at Singe with a small smile.

"Hey you two" says Blackwing.

Singe then looks up and smiles at Blackwing "Hello Blackwing, let me guess it's time for dinner?".

Blackwing nods and stares at Angela "You coming?".

"Oh yeah I'm coming" says Angela as she stands up from her seat as all three leave towards the Main Area.

Soon all the Gargoyles are eating hungrily through the double cheese and pepperoni and Mushroom pizza's. Soon Sean, Akira and Elisa walk in

"Damn you could lose a hand in there" remarks Akira with a snicker.

"Do they always eat like this Elisa?" says Sean who stares at the sight before them.

"Hehyou should seen them last night when they had Chinese." Smiles Elisa as she walks up to the group. "Hey, Guys!"

"Good to see ye Lass." Says Hudson.

Goliath stands up from his seat and walks over to his love "Hello My love" he says with a smile on his face.

"You want some pizza Elisa?" Says Broadway as he holds up a greasy slice.

"Uhno thanks I ate before I got here" says Elisa.

Broadway then offers the slice to both Akira and Sean who both refuse the offer "Suit your self" he says before scarfing it down.

"Hello my love" says Celine as she walks up to Sean and kisses him sweetly.

"I'm fine" says Sean.

"So you guys have anything planned for tonight?" says Akira as he sits down. "Just patrolling" says Celine as she looks at Akira.

Elisa then looks a little concerned Goliath then looks upon his love again he can see something is wrong he tilts her chin up and looks into her dark eyes

"Is something Wrong my love" says Goliath with concern.

"It's nothing Big Guy I've been thinking about this latest case that's all." Says Elisa.

"Oh I see. Can we do anything to help?" says Goliath.

"UmI think we can handle this one." Says Elisa.

Soon the gargoyles finish their meal when Goliath sees that everyone is finished he stands up from his seat. "All right everybody it is time to patrol".

A sound of groans comes up from the room

"Aw, C'mon Goliath we patrolled. Last night can't we just take a break for one night!" remarked Brooklyn.

"Yeah, I mean the city can take care of it self for one night!" remarks Zero.

"Listen this city needs us to protect it maybe all of us don't need to go but we should go but we should that is what we do understand." Says Goliath.

"Yeah I guess so." Says Zero.

"Good. Brooklyn, Lexington, and Angela you shall be on patrol with Blackwing, Singe, and Eternity. I want the 6 of you to pair off into groups of 3 and patrol." Says Goliath.

"Hey! What about us.?" Says Sean.

"Well Sean and Elisa can come with Celine and myself" says Goliath.

"Hey what about me?! I want to help!" yells Akira.

"But Akira."Starts Celine.

"But nothing! You saw me in action in Africa you know what I'm possible of!" Says Akira.

"But you can be injured." Says Goliath.

"Bullshit! Goliath you saw me take on those suped up-freaks first hand and I came away with out a scratch! Please Goliath let me go on patrol!" says Akira.

"The kid's got spirit you gotta give him that!" says Sean with a smirk.

"Plus I think it would be great having another helping hand" adds Elisa.

Goliath sighs heavily and looks at the enthusiastic Akira" Fine you can come" says Goliath.

"AllRIGHT!" says Akira as he leaps into the air.

"Now with that taken care of let's us ready to patrol." Says Goliath.

Soon several winged silhouettes glide off the top of the castle Wyvern these silhouettes quickly break into three separates groups and head into the night. Unknowing not too far away from them someone is watching through high-powered glasses. In mid-air sitting on a hover cycle is Mia wearing a metallic vest, high boots along with shin guards. A tight fitting leather outfit complete with a utility belt at the side hangs a Quarrymen's Hammer to complete the outfit.

"Hmmm..Rowdy looking bunch but no matter they all look tough but they all fall before me." says Mia as she watches them she then starts up the hovercycle and takes off in the southern direction.

In the North Blackwing, Lexington, and Brooklyn glide along with Blackwing in front.

" Man this sucks." Says Lexington as he glides along with Brooklyn.

"I agree with you" responded the beaked gargoyle

"But you heard Goliath & Celine we have a job to do."

"Yeah I know I know but why tonight? It's not like the world is going to end if we just miss one night of patrol." says Lex.

" That's right! The city wouldn't mind if we took just a night off right?" says Brooklyn.

Lexington just nods his head in agreement; "Hey Blackwing do you ever get tired of patrolling?" says Lexington as he glides up to his side.

Blackwing just sighs "No." replied the jet-black Gargoyle in a flat tone.

"C'mon Blackwing even you must get tired of patrolling?" says Brooklyn as he glides up beside him also.

"I never get tired of patrolling if I was asked to patrol all night I would do anything for my Leader as should you." Says Blackwing as he glides ahead again.

Lexington glides back up to him again "Aw C'mon now you must have disobeyed Celine's orders every now and then." Says Lexington.

Blackwing's eyes glows a Crimson Red his voice raises in anger "I'LL WOULD NEVER EVER DISOBEY CELINE'S ORDERS YOU GOT THEAT!!!!" yells Blackwing with a low growl and he then lands on a nearby roof followed by Brooklyn & Lexington.

"Hey Blackwing is something wrong?" says Lexington as he lands with Brooklyn. Blackwing just walks away from them towards the edge of the roof his White hair blowing in the slight breeze.

Brooklyn then slowly walks up to him and touches his shoulder lightly "Blackwing? Is something wrong?" " Says Brooklyn with concerned.

Blackwing shrugs off the taloned "Don't touch me! I don't want to talk about It." says Blackwing with spite filled voice.

Lexington the trods up "Blackwing if this has something to do with Cel--". Blackwing's eyes flare up again "LISTEN I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT AND THAT'S THAT. NOW LET US FINISH THIS DAMN PATROL SO WE CAN REPORT BACK!" says Blackwing as glides back into the night air.

Brooklyn and Lexington just look at each other and exchange perplexed looks. "What's eating him?" says Lex.

"Dunno but we better finish this patrol before he yells at us again" says Brooklyn as he glides off thee building.

In the West Celine and Goliath glide along with Sean, Akira, and Elisa . Who follow from below in a car.

"Celine?" says Goliath.

"Yes?" replied Celine.

"You said that you stayed on Avalon until your Children has grown up fully right?" says Goliath.

"Yes I did. Why you ask?".

"Well when Elisa, Bronx and myself arrived there we saw many Gargoyles but we didn't see you there.".

" Oh you were? Well basically I wanted to see more of Avalon with my children so we explored a lot unfortunately when you arrived we have not returned yet.".

"Oh so I see."

" You may not know this Goliath but Avalon is a huge place it's not like one of these "theme parks" that the humans go to visit."

"It's not" responded Goliath with a small smile as he looks at her. "Why Goliath Did you just crack a joke" says Celine with a smile. " It is true just when you think that you have seen it all a new place opens up to you." Says Celine with a reminiscing sigh.

"Then why did you leave then?" says Goliath.

"Avalon's a nice place to live Goliath but I didn't want to stay there. I still yearned to be in the outside world I missed it so dearly. I wanted to go out alone but that's when my children and the rest of my clan wanted to come also. But before I let them come I told them that they have a choice of leaving absolute paradise here on Avalon or being out here with me.".

Goliath then smiles at her again. "Well I guess they all made the same decision then" says Goliath.

"Yeah and we all became closer because of that fact" says Celine with a smile but it turns into sigh I would really like to go back there if it is possible just to see how everybody is doing.

Meanwhile in the south Singe, Angela, and Eternity are making their way south not ever knowing about what awaits them from the shadows. Mia has been trailing them in silence ever since they left the castle she reaches into a compartment in the back of the cycle and produces a large sniper rifle. She then points the laser rifle towards the three Gargoyles and centers her aim on the largest one and fires. A purple beam of energy erupts from the tip of the gun and goes straight through Singe's Left wing Membrane. The Dragon-looking Gargoyle lets out a scream of agony as he plummets to the ground and skids face first into the ground not moving. The Ivory White Gargoyle Eternity tries to help but she is also shot through her wings and she plummets. Angela power-dives and catches the hurt Eternity before she hits the ground. She then sits her down gently on the ground and runs to check on her other injured friend. When I rain of laser fire falls upon her Angela skillfully rolls out of the way, as a hover cycle passes over her head. The cycle turns to make another pass firing at her again but Angela is ready and as the cycle passes over head, again Angela rakes the bottom of the cycle with her talons. The cycle spins out of control and the driver leaps out as the cycle hits the side of a building exploding and raining debris soon a figure comes walking towards Angela.

Angela runs up to confront the driver "Who are you?" says Angela in a demanding voice.

"Mia Evans: Gargoyle Hunter Extradonaire and you my lovely Gargess must die!" says Mia as she rushes forward.

Mia then throws a Hard punch towards Angela's face but Angela blocks it and throws her over her shoulder. Mia lands on her feet and kicks Angela in the stomach followed by an Uppercut that sends the Gargess spinning to the ground. Mia then rushes forward but a sweep by Angela's tail knocks her off feet. Angela then pounces on her opponent pummeling her with close fists. Mia blocks a punch and head butts her right between the eyes Angela reels back off from Mia's attack. Mia tries another kick but is caught by Angela and she flings her into the wall. Mia groans as she sees an enraged Angela walking towards her eyes glowing red. She also spots the Quarrymen's Hammer that she dropped when she jumped out. As Angela approached her she grab a rock and threw at Angela the young Gargess who dodges it with ease. However, it gave Mia enough time to grab the nearby Hammer and hit her square in the stomach with the handle. Angela then stumbles backward from the force of the hit Mia then swings the hammer downward striking Angela's foot breaking several bones inside. Angela wails out in pain before another blow across the Jaw with the hammer knocking her to the point of unconsciousness and shattering her Jaw. Mia cackles at the sight when fire burns her forcing her away from Angela Mia looks and see that Singe is back up on his feet his eyes glowing white as he breathes fire again. The fire burns her again melding the black leather to her Flesh. Mia then reaches into her utility belt and throws a grenade at him. The grenade goes off and blinds Singe temporarily he wails in agony swinging wildly. Mia rushed forward with the hammer but is met by the strong tail of Singe knocking the wind out of her as she hits the wall. Singe wails again as he blinks his vision returns and he stalks towards her Mia struggles to get up but is knocked back into the wall by Singe's hand he then grabs her by her neck and picks her up.

Mia can feel his grip tighten she smiles "Go ahead Gargoyle do it? Kill me!" her grin turns into a smile.

"I can't it is not the gargoyle way to kill" says Singe.

His eyes fade out and he drops her and stalks away to Angela Mia takes the opportunity to grab the hammer she presses a button and it crackles to life with electricity. She rushes forward and strikes him between his shoulder blades Singe wails again in pain his eyes glow white one more time then fades as he collapses to the ground. Mia then smiles and starts to chuckle as she stands victorious over the t fallen gargoyles.

Meanwhile Eternity hears voices in the darkness

"Is she ok?" says a female voice.

"I don't know my love," says a male voice.

"Look she's coming to." Says another voice.

Eternity opens her eyes, she sees shapes, and colors soon it becomes faces she sees Talon, Maggie, and Claw standing above her.

"Talon..? Says Eternity weakly.

"How are you doing?" replied Talon with a smirk.

Eternity sits up on the cot "Uh I feel like shit" says Eternity as she holds her head groaning.

"You took some lumps their kiddo" says Claw.

"How did I get here?" says Eternity.

"Maggie and some of the clones found you while on patrol" says Claw.

Eternity groans" What about Singe Angela?".

"We didn't see them" says Maggie.

"Eternity I must tell Goliath says Eternity as she gets up but is forced back down by Claw.

"Uh-huh you ain't moving with those wounds" says Claw.

"What time is it?" says Eternity.

"Almost Sunrise" says Claw.

"Then I'll be fine I must tell Golia--"she stops in mid-sentence as her Judgement walks in.

"Sister says Judgement as he hugs her lightly.

"Brother..How"

"When you and the rest did not come back I got worried and started to search that's when I ran into Talon. What happened anyway?"

"We were attacked Singe went down followed by me. All I could remember is Darkness after I went down" says Eternity as she grunts in pain and doubles over.

Maggie tries to help but Eternity holds up her taloned fingers "I'm okay this always happens at sunrise". Soon both Judgement and Eternity double over in pain as they change into their human forms right in front of a bewildered Maggie and Claw. After the transformation into their human forms Eternity stands up and feels her wounds

"All better" says Eternity,

"C'mon my sister we must head back father must be worried sick" says Judgement.

Meanwhile in Mia's private suite, she is being attended to by the doctor after 15min. Of cursing and swearing the doctor finishes stitching up her wounds and leaves the room a couple of min later Jon Canmore walks in.

"So how you doing?" says Jon as he smiles.

"Da fuck you think? Look at me I've got welts on places that I didn't know I have a black eye I'm suffering from first degree burns from that damned Dragon looking Gargoyle." Says Mia.

"A dragon-Gargoyle?" says Canmore with a raised eyebrow.

Mia then looks at Jon coldly "Yeah Canmore a fucking Dragon-Gargoyle with a long-snout and can breathe motherfucking fire!".

"I never knew that gargoyles can breathe fire?" says Canmore.

" I didn't think that they could either go figure. But enough of that what about my money." Says Mia as she stands.

"You'll get what you want after I get what I want got it.".

"Fine. So when is this rally?" says Mia as she crosses her arms below her chest.

"Tonight. After those two gargoyles are dead you'll see a significant increase in the bank account" he says with a smile.

"Good then the quicker I get paid the better I don't like staying in one place for too long. In fact I'm going out for some fresh air" says Mia as she grabs her Jean Jacket a pair of mirrored sung glasses and a brown wig before walking out.

A few hours of walking made Mia hungry so she stooped in at a neighboring Deli she ordered just a croissant and some coffee and sits at a table to enjoy her meal. As she eats Detective Vas and walks up to the counter.

"Detective Vas how are you doing today?" says the man behind the counter.

"I'm fine can have my usual please" says the detective.

"You got it hey Joey! A Sausage and Egg sandwich and a cup of Coffee for Mr. Detective." Says the Man.

The man known as Joey just nods and starts to prepare something for him. The two have a normal conversation Mia pays it no mind as she sits not too far away from the 2 but then she hears something that makes her choke on her bagel.

"You have any luck catching the murderer from the airport yet?" "No we haven't we got a face and the news is broadcasting the sketch we have of her but nothing yet.

" Replies Vas.

Mia's choking becomes louder Vas sees her choking and he runs behind her and applies the hemlich maneuver a piece of the offending food is forced out but doing the process her wig comes off also. Mia falls to the ground coughing her wig half on.

"You ok Miss?" says Vas as he bends down.

"I'm fine," says Mia as Vas helps her up.

"Oh you forgot your Ahemwig" says Vas as he picks it up.

"Thank you." Says Mia as she snatches it away.

Vas looks at her as she starts to put her wig on "Miss.. Can you please remove your glasses?" says Vas.

"Why?" says Mia.

"I just want to see something." He says as he reaches for the glasses and pulls them off he then stares at her with surprise "It's you!"

Mia then grabs her half-empty coffee cup, tosses it in his face, and runs out luckily for Vas the coffee was warm.

" Call the police!" yells Vas at the man before he runs out.

Mia takes down the avenue running with a coffee stained Vas right on her tail. She runs through several alleys Vas never losing sight in one of the Alleys Mia throws some trashcans down in front Vas leaps over them. As they run Vas's radio springs to life

"Detective Vas where are you?" crackles the radio.

Vas reaches into his Trenchcoat pocket and pulls out his radio "I'm chasing the suspect down one of the alleyways on 6th & 34th says Vas into the radio as he jumps over another downed trash can.

"Alright we have some units in that area we'll have them assist but keep us informed on your position." Crackled the radio.

As Vas continues to the chase, he is joined by two other uniformed officers on foot. During the chase Mia jumps on a chain link fence climbs up and jumps onto the other side. Vas runs to one of the walls bordering the fence and jumps towards it he actually launches himself off it with one foot to the top of the fence and leaps over to the other side. The other two cops are amazed by Vas's agility as they climb up the fence. During the chase Vas grabs Mia around her coat and gives it a tug but Mia skillful pulls herself free of the coat and continues. Vas continues to run throwing the coat into one of the officers faces. Mia then leads them to a busy intersection Mia runs through the traffic avoiding honking cars and rolling over the tops of the ones that stooped ahead of her. Vas follows Mia right to the button Mia then runs right in front of a semi truck which barley misses her. Vas sees the truck at the last second and back flips out of the way he's trenchcoat billowing in the wind and lands on top of the hood of a taxicab. He quickly tries to continue the chase but by the time he makes across the intersection, Mia is gone.

"Shit!" yells Vas as he reaches into his pocket and produces his radio again. " I lost her says Vas into the radio.

"Do you know where?" crackles the radio

Vas just gives the radio his position before signing off.

The two uniforms comes running up still holding the Jacket "Detective Vas." Says one of them out of breath.

"I lost her." Says Vas.

"Maybe. Not" says the second officer still trying to catch his breath.

"What do you mean?" says Vas.

One of the men reached into the pocket of the Jacket and produced a small golden hammer and an envelope with Mia's name on it.

"Probably this wasn't a waste after all" says Vas with a smile.

Back at the police station, Vas walks in with the hammer and the envelope and he tosses the hammer on Maza's desk.

"This is a Quarrymen's Hammer?" exclaimed Elisa as she picks up the small object.

"Where did you get this?" says Matt.

"It was in the pocket of our murderer's Jacket" says Vas.

"Why would a murderer be carrying a Quarrymen's symbol?" says Elisa.

"That's what I was thinking on the ride back. But know that we have a name on her let's check her up on the crime computer." Says Vas.

Soon all three of them are searching the files for one Mia Evans. Soon the computer finds the name.

"Bingo it says here that she was a soldier in the U.S army and served in Desert Storm before becoming a Navy Seal in 1996 she was the retired and opened up a small business in California selling guns. Her first arrest was made in 1997 when she was arrested for the possession of illegal firearms but was let go because of lack of evidence. In 1998 she was charged with hunting without a license in Southern California." Says Vas.

"Do you know what she was hunting?" says Elisa.

"It says here when she was found they where several unidentified winged creatures found dead in the area.

"Creatures?" says Matt.

"Creatures" repeated Vas.

"Any Photos?" says Elisa.

"Just one. They took a picture of the one that was still intact" says Vas. "Still intact?" says Matt.

"Yeah all the other creatures where found decapitated" says Vas as he clicks on the picture.

The picture blows up and there's a picture of a dead gargoyle Elisa just gasps at the sight.

"That's sick" says Matt before turning away.

"Well what did they do to her?" says Elisa.

"Basically just a slap on the wrists the "creatures" as they put it can't be found on the endangered species list and there's no listing of it anywhere so they couldn't do anything about it" says Vas.

"So this is why the Quarrymen wanted her." Says Elisa.

"Then let's go get her then" says Matt.

"Oh you out of your head Bluestone!" says Vas.

"What we have the evidence to bust her. Plus if we are lucky enough can nail Canmore also." Says Matt.

Elisa just sighs "We can't get him".

"Why?" says Matt.

" We have enough evidence to arrest her but not Canmore he can completely deny the whole thing since we have nothing that actually connects him to her." Says Vas.

"Shit." Says Matt.

"But we can still arrest her can't we says Matt."

"Yeah we can if we can find her that is" says Elisa.

"Well I got go and get this suit cleaned and get these reports done." Says Vas as he leaves Matt & Elisa.

Matt then waits until Vas is out of earshot before he speaks" Couldn't Goliath and the rest find her it is obvious that she is working for them".

"Alright then I'll talk to Goliath and the rest tonight until then we can't do a thing" says Elisa.

Soon night falls upon the Quarrymen building, which strangely all is silent. However, in the lower depths of the building the two Gargoyles wake up. Singe looks around and it looks like he is in some type of Jail Cell. He then feels his muzzle and there's some type of restraint on it allowing him enough for him to speak but not enough to breathe fire.

"Where am I?" says Singe as he looks around.

"Singe?" says a voice.

"Angela!" says Singe as he puts his head to the wall.

"Yes it is me.".

"Oh thank Oberon you are okay. I thought I lost you.".

"Same here. Where are we?" says Angela as she looks around her cell.

"Dunno." Says Singe as he walks up the bars and grips them tightly but a strong surge of Electricity surges through his body shocking him until he flies back.

"Singe?" says Angela worriedly.

"I'm fine Angela but it looks like we ain't getting out soon".

"Can't you use your fire" says Angela.

"No I can't they put some type of muzzle around my mouth which I can not remove." Says Singe.

"Oh."Says Angela.

Soon the door opened up and Jon Canmore walks in with a smug smile on his face

"How are you doing tonight" he says with a grin.

"What do you want with us?" says Angela demandingly.

"Oh you are frisky tonight I like that. You 2 will be prime specimen for tonight's rally" says Canmore.

"What Rally?" says Singe.

"Well we are trying to give our investors a glimpse at 2 live gargoyles and 2 dead gargoyles" says Canmore.

"You'll never get away with this Canmore" growled Singe.

"Huh and whose goona stop me? The police can't do anything since I'm having the rally right here and your clan can not do anything cause they do not know where you are and by the time they do figure it out you'll be dead." Says Canmore as he laughs.

Singe leaps towards Canmore as he growls his claws barley missing his throat but is shocked again by the electrified bars tossing him back.

"Hmmmm your frisky aren't you I like that but let's see how eager you are after this." Says Canmore as he produces a small remote from his hand and presses the button. A large amount of electricity pulses through the cage until both Singe & Angela collapse from the pain as electricity runs through their bodies.

" Well if you excuse me I got a rally to go to" says Jon as he leaves through the door at the far side of the room.

Meanwhile at the Castle Elisa is telling the rest of the clan what has happened recently.

"We got help them" says Brooklyn as he slams his fist into the palm.

"Yes but how we can't just go running in there like gangbusters" says Judgement.

"Well we can always sneak in" says Celine.

"Yeah but how we aren't of the human variety." Snorted Brooklyn.

" Hey Elisa could sneak in you know act like she's a Quarrymen" says Broadway.

"I don't think that would work since Jon knows that Elisa's a big supporter of us." Says Lexington.

"What about Matt?" says Zero.

"Nope they know him too well also unless" says Goliath as he turns his head to Sean & Akira.

"What?" says Akira.

"I think they want us to sneak into Hammer Corp. and rescue them from the inside out." Says Sean.

" I Dunno Sean this seems dangerous you know going undercover and all" says Akira as he looks down.

" No wait a minuet their lad weren't you the one who was begging to go on patrol last night?" says Hudson as he crosses his arms.

"Well yeah but" Akira tries to protest.

"Listen Akira I'll be with you and I would never let anything happen to you while I'm alive." says Sean as he puts hand on his shoulder.

Akira throws hands up in frustration as he moves towards Goliath "Alright, Alright I'll help what do I have to do?".

At Hammer Corp. The rally is about to start a lot of high-end business personal is walking in along with a few possible recruits all waiting for a glimpse of a real live gargoyle. Outside of the building Sean's Jeep pull up across the street and stops.

"There is Amigo. You ready?" says Sean.

"Yeah let's do this says Akira as he opens up the door and makes their way past the 2 hooded Quarrymen guards into the building.

They walks through the halls of the building and look around as all them are being lead into a large assembly hall in the building. They see an unguarded Hallway and sly make their way out of the crowd and into the Hallway they walk along. Until they come along an elevator, they are about press a button when they hear voices.

"Hey what are you 2 doing there?" says two-hooded quarrymen as they run up.

"Uhwe were looking for the rest room" smiles Akira.

"Well the bathroom is back in the main hall" says the Quarrymen as he points back to the hall.

Sean takes this opportunity and clobbers the Quarryman with a punch to his stomach followed by a roundhouse kick that sends him into the wall knocking him unconscious. The second Quarrymen is about to draw his hammer when Akira hits him with a standing vertical kick. This hits him square in the jaw and a quick sweep that knocks him of his feet. As his head hits the floor, he is also unconscious. The elevator button dings and the doors open as Akira drags the two unconscious men inside. Sean then holds up his collar to his mouth

"All right Goliath we are inside the building".

"All right we are almost in position also so be careful." Goliath's voice booms through the small receiver inside Sean's collar.

"Well now what do we do?" says Akira. Sean bends down and removes the hood of one of the quarrymen

"We change." Says Sean.

As the Elevator dings Sean comes out dressed in the Quarrymen's clothes they then drag the two of them to a supply closet and tosses them in"

"Man this suit itches" says Akira.

"Silence." Whispered Sean through his hood.".

They walk along the hallway until they hear a few voices coming out of the office doors Sean & Akira slowly creep up and tries to listen to the conversation.

"Damn it Evans where in the hell were you today?" yells a voice from the other side.

"It's Canmore." Sean Whispered to Akira

"I was out of course." says a female voice.

" Out for 6 hours Mia? Without contacting us?".

"Since when did I need a freaking curfew!" responded the female voice.

"Listen as long as we are paying for your service Ms. Evans you're ass will follow our orders." Yelled Canmore.

" Speaking of money when will I get my money?" yells Mia.

"You'll get your money when your Job is done and according to our contract that ain't done yet.!" Yells Canmore.

"Ahem!" says a voice that makes the Sean & Akira Jump. "What are you 2 doing here?" says Ryan Stephmore who stands there in his Quarrymen's outfit with a metal suitcase in his right hand.

"Um we were just about"Akira fumbles around with the words.

"To tell uh..Mr. Canmore that everything is almost ready." Says Sean.

"Oh all right then go ahead then" says Ryan.

Sean then knocks on the door "Come in!" yells Jon. Sean walks in with Akira while Ryan stands behind them.

"Um Mr. Canmore everything is set" says Akira.

Jon looks at them with a harsh stare "Thank you." He says trying to suppress his anger.

"Anything else sir?"says Sean.

"Yes go down into the lower levels and check on our captives then report back to Ryan" says Canmore.

Akira & Sean both nod and leave for the lower levels. Meanwhile Singe & Angela wake up to find them selves in smaller cages

"Where are we now?" growled Singe.

"I dunno." Says Angela.

Singe stares at Angela "No matter what happens to you Angela I shall protect you." Says Singe as he looks down.

"What did you mean by that Singe?" says Angela as she looks at him.

"Well gee it's kind of hard to say this you know. But I kinda have a crush on you." Says Singe as he turns to look away.

"Oh I see well I guess have confession to make also" she blushes a bit "I like you too.".

Singe looks at her with astonishment "You do?" he says as he walks closer to edge of his cage.

"Well yeah I do" she says with smiles as she walks to her end of the cage.

They both exchange smiles and blushes and they slowly try to reach out their hands to touch talons when the door slams and two hooded figures walk in.

"Aw' two gargoyles in love" quipped the first one.

"Aw they look so cute says the other one" "with a chuckle.

Singe's eyes glow white while Angel's glow red as they look at the two Quarrymen.

"Whoa chill guys" says the first one as he lifts up his hood "It's me Sean".

The second takes off their hood "And me Akira".

"It's good to see you 2" says Singe.

"Get us out of here." says Angela.

"Hold on you two we'll get you out, " says Sean as he charges up the hammer and hits the bars with them.

While Akira, keeps watch a few minuets later and a dozen swings later the hammer didn't even make a dent.

"Damn it!" says Sean.

"What is it? " says Akira.

"This metal is tough looks like I'm goona have to wolf out to break it." says Sean. ".

"Shit here comes someone" says Akira as he puts his hood back on.

Sean disengages his hammer, puts his hood on soon Ryan walks in, and looks around.

"What are you 2 still doing here I've been waiting for you in the control room for 5 min." Says Ryan as he crosses his arms.

"Sorry sir I thought these filthy gargoyles were trying something" says Sean.

"Never mind that once theses cages are electrified they won't be able to do a thing now come on" says Ryan as he leaves.

Sean & Akira reluctantly leave as they head for the control room.

Meanwhile outside the building, Goliath and the rest of the Manhattan & Arizona Clan look in through one of the windows of Hammer Inc through a adjoining building.

"Aye what is taking them so long." Says Hudson as he rests his hand on his sword hilt.

"Patience old friend we must sit and wait" says Goliath.

"I'm tired of the waiting I want some action" says Zero impatiently.

"Calm down Zero we must trust Sean and Akira." says Blackwing.

Inside they see that everyone is seated and is waits for the rally to begin. Soon the crowd is silenced as Jon Canmore walks onto the podium followed by Mia Evans. He soon begins to speak about how much the threat of gargoyles has on the community, and how they are a threat that must be eliminated. He also thanks the several corporations that have invested money to the Quarrymen along with their newest investor Bloodstone Inc.

"Wait a minuet is that the new CEO of Bloodstone Inc. Opal Bloodstone?" Says Brooklyn.

"Yes it is" says Judgement.

"I wonder what she is doing here," says Celine.

"And There's that Bitch that captured Singe and Angela!" says Eternity.

Back inside Jon is wrapping up his speech behind Jon's viewing audience is a small control room where Ryan, Sean & Akira are. "Get ready to push the button" says Ryan. Sean just nods as he looks on.

Back in the hall Canmore is finishing his speech"Ladies and gentlemen I give you gargoyles!" he says with a grin.

"Soon up through the floor in the podium comes Singe and Angela. There are lots of gasps and murmurs throughout the crowd.

"You'll pay for this Canmore!" growls Singe.

"You see Ladies and Gentlemen look how fierce they are they even threaten my very own well being." Says Jon.

"Show that filthy Garg some respect!" yells one of the audience members.

"Yes. I agree with you sir let's show this Garg some respect" he says with a smile.

He then produces a small remote and he presses a button" and a strong Electric shock runs through Singe's body as he screams in agony before collapses to one knee.

"How do we know that's a real Gargoyle? Not just one of your flunkies in a suit." says a man in a well-tailored suit.

Jon smiles "Good question. But if it was one of my men would I shock him with 10'000 volts?" says Jon. The crowd just murmurs again. "Let's find out?" he says with a sneer as he presses the button as electricity again Singe yells out in pain.

"Singe!!!" yells Angela with tears in her eye.

"Jon just smiles as the Dragon Gargoyle howls in pain.

"Stop! You'll kill him!" Angela pleaded.

"Oh really?" says Jon.

The electricity courses through his Singe's body his eyes are flaming white Angela just watches helpless as Singe continues to roast. Meanwhile in the control room

"I can't take any more of this" says Akira.

Ryan is just laughing madly as he enjoys the show. Sean can not take anymore also he lashes out and strikes Ryan with a blow and sends him into the wall of the room. Ryan then wipes the blood of his mouth

"Why you." He says as he charges towards Sean who stops him with a strong punch to his stomach. Which doubles him over he then grabs him by the head and sends him flying through the glass covering the control room.

Ryan then falls to the floor in a crumpled heap as the rest of the onlookers look towards the crash.

"What the?" says Jon as he releases the button.

Akira finds the button to release the cages I'll take care of the rest." Says Sean as he leaps out and lands on his feet next to Ryan.

"Is that our cue?" says Broadway.

"What are we waiting for a engraved invitation let's go!" says Zero as he glides through the window followed by the rest of the gargoyles.

Sean then turns into a werewolf and joins his friends them as Quarrymen rush in to fight off the menace.

"Not good." Whispers Mia as she slips through the melee into the main hall.

"Oh no you don't bitch!" says Eternity tossing another Quarrymen out of her way as she follows

"Lexington!" says Sean as he knocks away a Quarrymen with a right cross.

"What!" says the small Gargoyle as he avoids a swipe of a hammer.

"Akira is in the control room trying to open the cages help him out!" says Sean as he uppercuts another Quarrymen knocking out his teeth.

Lexington nods and scrambles through the melee and up the wall to the control room.

Meanwhile Mia has runs into back to Jon's office and sees the Attaché case that Ryan left. She opens in it and she sees her pay "Bingo!" she says as she closes the case and runs out to near by Elevator.

Back in the melee more Quarrymen rush in to help. Soon the doors to the Cells of Angela & Singe open. Blackwing throws an away a Quarrymen, runs into Singe's cell, and helps him out to the window followed by Judgement.

"Hold on buddy we are out of here" says Judgement as they glide out.

"Gargoyles we have what is needed let us leave" says Goliath as the rest of the Gargoyles leave through the window.

Meanwhile Mia has taken the Elevator down to the armory and runs to the garage of it sitting there is a small hovercraft big enough for two people to ride in sitting there. Mia then quickly starts up and is about to take off.

"Oh no you won't bitch!" says Eternity as she leaps and grasps the craft before it hummed to life and flew through an open gate.

Meanwhile a few buildings away the gargoyles are counting there own until they notice somethingEternity's not there.

"Where is she?" says Zero.

"You don't think she's still inside?" says Brooklyn.

"I'm going back in." says Sean.

Before anyone could protest Sean's actions a small hovercraft roars over their heads and the silhouettes of Mia and Eternity can be seen.

"Sis!" screams Judgement before he leaps off the roof and glides after them.

As the craft rips through the skies of Manhattan with the ivory Colored Gargoyle clinging on. She quickly scales the cycle up to the driver and taps her on the shoulder, which causes Mia to turn around with a sneer on her face.

"Hey Bitch!" says Eternity landing a blow in her face causing Mia to lose control of the craft temporarily.

"Oh you still want to fight me?" says Mia who turns around in her seat and answers with a right cross which sends Eternity almost flying of the craft but she recovers and continues to battle her.

The two-silhouetted combatants fight on type of the craft a miss judgment or movement by either one will send them tumbling to their death's blow. They soon fly over a railroad station and over the U.S Intrepid, the only thing that is below them is water. The two continue their fight when a straight punch by Mia sends Eternity back into the seat of the cycle. Mia draws her pistol and takes a shot her Eternity ducks the shot and pounces on her. The shot that missed Eternity hit the guidance system of the craft, which destroys it. Eternity then hits Mia with roundhouse kick, which nearly sends Mia off the craft. However, she grabs the lip of it, and swings back up and hits Eternity with both feet. Eternity quickly recovers and grabs Mia around her waist and throws her on the controls of the small hovercraft. The controls then short and explode which is quickly followed by the craft, which also explodes. The Explosion then sends the two combatants plummeting towards the sea. Eternity quickly opens her wings as she desperately tries to find an updraft.

"Oh, no you don't If I die you're dying with me!" says Mia as she squeezes off a shot which rips through her wings. Before she hits the water and disappears beneath its depths.

"Eternity!" yells a voice.

Eternity then looks and sees her brother speeding towards her with his huge Dark Grey wings as he caught her just before she hit the sea.

"What happened to that Mia woman?" says Judgement as he pulls up from the sea.

"I don't know but she clipped me good before she hit the water." says Eternity.

"Has she come up?" says Judgement.

Eternity just shakes her head no.

"Don't be sad my sister you did the best that you could. Besides she got what she rightfully deserved.".

Eternity looks up at him with a strange look "What do you mean?".

"She killed probably countless of our and her kind and thanks to her she almost got Singe & Angela killed do you think someone like that who has done so many terrible things in her life deserves any sympathy?"

Eternity just says nothing and buries her head into her brother's chest ashe glides back to the castle.

A few minuets later Mia Evans comes up gasping for air as she coughs fiercely. She then begins to swim hard back to the shore ignoring the coldness of the sea.

"I survived wars basic training and taking those monsters head on for most of my life. I am not goona let this beat me no way!" thought Mia as she swims fiercely.

Soon a shadow appears overhead it looks like another hover cycle. Soon the cycle gets down to the sea as close as it can. Soon a gloved hand is held out to Mia.

"Come on Ms. Evans take my hand." Says a familiar voice.

Mia then reaches up and grabs the gloved hand and she is quickly pulled up onto the cycle.

"Ryan?!" sys Mia.

"Yes, Ms.Evans after hearing that you departed from the building. I quickly came after you to see if I could be of assistance." Says Ryan.

"But, how" started Mia.

"There was a tracking device with your payment just in case you decided to bail on us." Says Ryan.

"I see." Says Mia as she shivers."Those fucking gargoyles will pay for this!"

"So are you interested in joining us then?" says Ryan as he looked back at her.

"Yes!" says Mia.

"Welcome to the Quarrymen Ms. Evans." Says Ryan.

Mia just said nothing and wrapped her arms around his back. As the Cycle sped off into the night.

Epilogue:

The next night the gargoyles are once again awaiting their dinner Singe is outside looking off into the starry night with his huge wings caped over her shoulders Angela comes outside also with her wings caped over her shoulders.

"Singe..?" says Angela as she walks up to him.

"Oh, Angela I didn't see you there. How are you doing?" says Singe.

"I'm fine now thank you for asking." She says with a smile.

Singe then returns his gaze to the night he then looks at her out of the corner of his eye" Yes, Angela?"

"Yes?" says Angela as she looks at him.

"Did you really mean it when you said that you liked me back there in that cell?".

"Well yeah I did mean it" says Angela as she smiles at him.

"Did you mean it when you said that you liked me?".

Singe then turns around to face her and he looks at her with his storm cloud Grey eyes.

" You are so beautiful." He says softly.

"Angela blushes as she stares back at him "and you are so handsome." She says reaching up and touching the side of his face with taloned fingers.

Singe then takes her hand softly with his huge ones and kisses it sweetly making her giggle again.

"Hey you two!" says Judgement as he walks up.

"What is it?" says Singe as he still holds Angela's hand.

"Time for dinner." Says Judgement as he looks at the both of them with a smile crossing his lips.

"We'll be there in a minuet." says Angela with a smile on her face.

"Okay you two" says Judgement as he walks back inside.

In the courtyard, Blackwing is practicing his fighting skills when Celine shows up.

"Hello Blackwing." Says Celine.

"Oh, Hello." Says Blackwing as he stops and walks up to her.

"Blackwing we gotta talk." Says Celine as she strolls past him.

"About what?" says Blackwing who walks with her.

"Lexington & Brooklyn told me about your attitude towards them a couple of nights ago.".

Blackwing just lowers his head "Celine. I'm sorry but they acted it seemed like they wouldn't follow orders.".

"There are still young Blackwing we both know that.".

"Just because they're young does not give them right to disobey their leaders orders." Says Blackwing as he moves in front of her.

"But Blackwing this isn't Ft. Grangrel! Or some cave out in the middle of no where!" says Celine raising her voice.

"Damn it! Celine I know that but we must obey our leader's orders I think that Goliath has not trained his troops long enough!" says Blackwing.

Celine just looks at him, as she can not just believe what he just said, "How dare you?" she says with a stern voice.

Blackwing just looks down at the ground embarrassed and ashamed at what he just said.

"What has happened to you Blackwing? What happened to the Blackwing who joked with the rest of the knights and his fellow Gargoyles?".

" Celine he's gone he has been gone.".

"Why?" says Celine with concern her eyes.

"It's because of me not following your orders that you almost--" Blackwing doesn't even dare complete his sentence.

"Blackwing..?" says Celine resting a taloned hand on his shoulder.

"I not only failed you but I failed him." Says Blackwing as tears run down his face as he looks at her.

"Who's him?" says Celine.

Blackwing just keeps silent as he turns away from her.

"Blackwing you did not fail anyone as far as I know you have been the best 2nd in command I have ever known." Says Celine.

"Thank you Celine. But right know I just need some time by myself".

"Alright Blackwing I'll leave you here. But If you ever need to talk I'm right here." says Celine as she walks off

"We'll save you some left-overs okay?" she says with a smile.

"Thank you." Says Blackwing with a small smile as Celine walks back inside.

Meanwhile at N.Y.U Sean is packing his bags as he readies to go home for the Spring Break. He is long Blond hair has been smoothed back into a pony tail he is wearing a N.Y.U Sweatshirt with the sleeves cut off showing of his Biceps and long Denim shorts and sneakers. Soon the door opens and Akira comes in wearing a Chicago Bulls Jersey and blue jeans and sneakers and has a gold necklace of a dragon around his neck.

"Hey what's man! Spring Break is finally here so we can go out and party man!" says Akira as he throws his book bag on his bed.

"Heh I see that you're excited about Spring Break." Says Sean with a smile.

"Of course man! It gives me some time to relax especially with the shit We've been through.".

"Yeah I know what you mean. Finally I might be able to spend more time with Celine.".

"Man it seems that you're real serious about her. Are you thinking about the big step." Says Akira as he pulls his own suitcase from his side of the room.

"Please Akira, Me and Celine are trying to take it slow. We haven't seen each other in over a thousand years. There is some serious catching up to do.".

"All right, I can respect that. But I still don't get you and Celine spend a few nights together and all of sudden your boyfriend and girlfriend?" says Akira.

"Well, sometimes love is like that Akira mean first you think that there will be nobody you can share your life with. Then all of a sudden that certain someone comes into your life that changes the rules of the game. You feel strongly about that person and that you would do anything for your significant other.".

"Hmmmpff well that stuff is never goona happen to me! I'm goona be a carefree bachelor for the rest of my life!" proclaims Akira.

Sean just chuckles " That's what they all say at first!" says Sean before chuckling again.

"What is that supposed to mean?" says Akira as he tosses another article of clothing into the suitcase.

"It's nothing man nothing!". Akira then smiles smugly and stops packing "Hey Sean?".

"What is it Akira?" says Sean as closes his suitcase.

"You tell your parents about your girlfriend and your children?".

"Actually I haven't yet and I'm not goona tell them until the time is right.".

"Well, you have the week off so tell them wolf boy!".

Sean finishes closing his case and stands face to face with Akira "Oh yeah Akira I can just picture it now me walking into my house and saying to my family. "Hey guys I got a gargoyle for a girlfriend and she is the mother of my 2 children did also mention that they are all grown up?" Yep Akira that will go real well with them." Says Sean with a sarcastic tone in his voice.

"Hmmm I thought your family would have a easier time with it with them being wolves and all." Says Akira.

"Heh wolves are not they are still human I want to ease them into this as slowly as possible." Says Sean.

Soon the telephone rings and Akira picks it up "Hello? Oh Hey Mom what's up?" Akira pauses for a few seconds as the response comes over the phone Akira's jovial face starts to become depressed "Uh huh Yeah but what about Dad can he at least-- oh really I see. Yeah, yeah I'm cool with it! Yeah love you too bye." Says Akira as he hangs up the telephone.

Sean walks over to Akira and sits next to him "Something wrong man?" say Sean who put an arm around him.

"Well my spring break is shot!" says Akira in a monotone voice.

"What happened?" says Sean in a concerned voice.

"Well my mother is going out of town on business." Starts Akira.

"Hmmm I see but your mother is almost always out on business and it never seemed to depress you before." Says Sean.

Akira then stands up and walks to the window "It's not that man! My dad was supposed to spend time with me this week but he is also busy also something came up at the last minuet now he is unable to make it. Damn! They always seem to do this to me during this time." Says Akira.

Sean just sits and looks at his friend not saying a word. For as long as he knew Akira he was always jovial and full of spirit but now he's not and he pains him to see his best friend his only friend like this.

" Looks like I'm goona have to find another hotel like I always do." Says Akira as he picks up the telephone again and starts to dial.

Sean then walks over and grabs the telephone away from Akira and hangs it up "Uh-huh not this time my friend I will not here of it!" says Sean.

"So what do I do then it's not like one of my relatives live here in the city." Says Akira.

"You can stay with me and my family! Just like old times." Says Sean.

"Aw, you mean it man!" says Akira as his face lightens up.

Sean puts his hand on Akira's shoulder

"Akira I have known you for 14 years to me you are like family. So I want you to stay with my family during the break there's plenty of room.".

Akira then smiles and embraces Sean with a hug "Oh thanks man you da best!". "Alright Akira with that settled let's get ready to leave." Says Sean.

"You got it man!" says Akira as he continues to pack.

The End.
