Artemis staggered to his feet.
"Fool you have doomed your clan." He yelled and chanted.
The same white light hit the rest of the clan as it did Hudson. When it cleared they were gone.
"No!" Brooklyn yelled and dropped to his knees.
"If you hadn't got involved your clan would stil be alive." Artemis said laughing.
Brooklyn and Strike growled as he raised to his feet. Together they attacked him. Artemis threw Brooklyn off to the side and Strike slashed out with her claws. She cut his face and stepped back.
Brooklyn stood and walked over to her. Artemis stood up and started to cast spells for lighting. The sky grew darrk and thunder roared out over the sky and a shot of lighting. Strike and Brooklyn were doging every shot. Strike lept at Artemis only to be hit with a bolt of lighting. She fell back to the floor. Brooklyn rushed over to her.
"Strike are you ok?" He asked.
"I got it." She said holding up the star crystal.
"Fools I collected all the energy from it what's why I was only toying with you." Artemis laughed.
The clouds above began to darken and the wind began to howl. Brooklyn looked at Strike. She had her eyes closed and was trying to get the star crystal to work.
"You heard him Strike it's useless."
"No Brook I won't let him beat me again." She said opening her eyes.
Her eyes dig deep into his and he knew she was going to fight one way or another. He decided to fight with her. The star crystal began to glow softly. Brooklyn suddenly felt something around his waist. He felt himself being lifted into the air. No matter how much he strugled he couldn't get lose.
"Brooklyn!" Strike called out.
"Well I wasn't expecting this. I guess he'll have to go to." Artemis said.
"Don't you dare!"
"Oh does this one mean something to you?"
"Please Artemis. I'll do the spell I know it just don't hurt him."
"Good!" Artemis growled lowing Brooklyn close to the ground.
"Do it." He growled.
"Strike.." Brooklyn was cut off by a spell of Artemis's.
Strike began to chant with her eyes shut and she began to glow. Brooklyn thought he was going nuts because he started to see her three forms. The Faith form was in a pure white dress and the First Strike form was in a blue dress and the orginal Strike was in a red one. They all became solid and were chanting quickly.
They opened their eyes and suddenly they all disappeared execpt for the orginal Strike. Her eyes were glowing a pure green and looked like fire pouring out as the wind wiped around the three. Artemis seamed to get nervous when Strike turned towards him. He held Brooklyn and the Granolum Arcranolum. Strike yelled something in an old lanuage and Artemis dropped the Granolum Arcranolum.
"Don't be foolish I have him!" Artemis yelled.
Strike did nothing only began to glow more. The light became intense and Brooklyn felt himself being set free. He suddenly dropped to the ground and heard Artemis yell out in pain. Brooklyn could feel haet coming from where Artemis was. He suddenly saw Artemis turning to dust and disappearing. The light slowly faded as Artemis dropped to the ground as a pile of dust. As the light disappearsed Brooklyn could see Strike laying on the ground.
"Strike!" He yelled and rushed over to her.
Brooklyn dropped to his knees and wrapped his arms around her. Strike looked up and forced a smile on to her dirty face.
"Nice to know you care Brook." She whispered.
"You know I all ways will."
"Hand me the Granolum Arcranolum."
"Why?"
"We have to get your clan back."
"But you to weak to.." Brooklyn was stopped by Strike placeing her hand gentaly over his beak.
"Just do it Brook." She whispered.
He nodded and got the Granolum Arcranolum. He helped her sit up and she turned to a page in the Granolum Arcranolum. Strike chanted lightly and a glow began in the spot where most of the clan disappeared. A quick flash and they were all back. Brooklyn smile the looked down at the gargoyle in his arms. Strike closed her eyes and leand her head on Brooklyn's chest. She transformed back to what she looked like before and them back to Faith but the single streak of red remained in her hair.
