Elisa and Kyle (without anyone knowing) has gotten inside the building.
A man named Owen was telling what happened.
"A most unfortunate accident, one of the newly installed generators in the castle exploded." Owen explained.
Oh come on, even I know that's lame. Thought Kyle.
"Mr. and Mrs. Xanatos is quite willing to pay for any damages that might have-" Said Owen kept trying to explain but was cut off by Elisa.
"Mr Burnett, I heard automatic weapons firing up there." Elisa said as she pointed with her thumb.
"Not, you can let me look the place over, or I can come back with a warrant and a lot more cops, it's your call." Threatened Elisa with her arms closed.
Owen smirked a bit.
They soon went inside the elevator.
They soon went to the top and exited.
Elisa soon looked around the place.
"Must have a heck of a heating bill." Elisa said to herself.
"Detective Maza, I just called the mayor to offer my profound apologies for what happened here." Said a man named Xanatos as he walked towards her.
"What exactly did happen here, Mr. Xanatos?" Elisa asked.
"And please, don't try to tell me it was an exploding generator." Said Elisa.
They soon walked across the room.
"Owen was a little confused, that's for the press." Xanatos explained.
"The truth is that my men repelled an invasion by a rival corporation trying to steal some of our new technology." Said Xanatos.
Elisa gasped a little.
" 'Repelled an invasion', you're a private citizen, Xanatos, not a country." Elisa said to him.
Xanatos then opened another door and looked at Elisa.
"Detective, I am the owner of a multinational corporation, which is bigger than many countries you could name." Gloated Xanatos.
They soon went outside to saw the damage that was done during the battle.
"I assume you have permits for the weapons I heard being fired up here." Said Elisa.
"Of course, I have to protect my family, i'm sure you understand." Said Xanatos.
Neither are aware that someone, not Kyle is watching them.
Owen then caught up to them.
"Excuse me, Mr Xanatos, there seems to be a problem in the kitchen with out new guests." Owen explained.
"I hope I've answered all your questions satisfactorily, Detective Maza." Said Xanatos.
"Owen will show you out, excuse me." Said Xanatos as he walked away.
"If you'll come with me." Said Owen.
They soon began walking but Elisa heard something.
Owen then noticed.
"Is there a problem, detective." Owen asked.
"That stone gargoyle up there, I could have sworn I saw it move." Said Elisa.
Owen then looked up and looked back at Elisa.
"Yes, this old place is rather spooky at night." Said Owen.
"I've thought the same thing more than once." Said Owen as he continued walking.
Owen then pushed a button to the elevator.
"Good night, detective." Said Owen.
"Good night." Said Elisa.
The elevator then went down and Elisa exited.
Kyle on the other hand stayed in and turned off his invisibility suit and pressed the button that led him to the top.
Kyle looked around to see if there was anyone there.
He walked around the police.
He opened a door with bricks from part of the castle on it.
Kyle then turned on the flashlight and continued walking.
"Please don't tell me where this when Dracula shows up." Kyle said to himself.
He found parts that were part of the battle earlier.
He proceeded the ledge on top of the castle.
He heard something.
He saw nothing and continued walking unaware that someone is following him.
Kyle looked over the edge of the castle.
"That is a long way down." Said Kyle.
He then heard the noise again and went near the door.
Kyle later took out a knife.
"Okay, let me see you, nice and easy." Said Kyle.
A large beast like creature then appeared and growled at him.
Kyle gasped.
The knife he held was taken away and crushed by a purple gargoyle named Goliath.
Kyle then got scared and accidently fell of the edge.
Goliath tried to grab him but missed.
Goliath then went down after him.
Kyle was then caught by Goliath.
Goliath then opened his wings and glided to the building next to him.
Kyle then got a closer look at Kyle.
"Okay, take it easy." Said Kyle, more to himself then Goliath.
"What were you doing in my castle?" Asked Goliath.
"You can talk, who, what are you?" Asked Kyle.
"My kind have no names, but you humans call me Goliath." Replied Goliath.
" 'Your Kind', you mean there's more than one of you?" Kyle asked.
Goliath then sighed.
"Barley." Said Goliath.
Goliath was about to go.
"Wait, don't go." Kyle said as he stopped Goliath.
"Uh, look, we need to either get back down to the streets or up to the castle." Said Kyle.
"Since you can fly-" Kyle said before he was cut off by Goliath.
"I can't fly, I can only glide on currents of wind." Said Goliath.
"There are none strong enough here to lift us back up." Said Goliath as he looked down at the streets.
"So we're stuck here?" Asked Kyle.
Goliath then grabbed Kyle and put him on his back.
Kyle held on tightly to Goliath.
"Hold on." Said Goliath.
Goliath then climbed up the building using his claws.
They soon went back up the castle.
Kyle was then trying to catch his breath and saw the creature again.
"I forgot about him." Said Kyle.
"He won't hurt you." Said Goliath as he petted the beast's head.
Goliath looks at Kyle.
"Now, once again, what are you doing here?" Asked Goliath.
"And please, don't fall off the building this time." Said Goliath.
They later told each other everything.
Like Kyle told him why he was at the castle and Goliath told Kyle about his life at the dark ages.
"Does anyone else know about you?" Kyle asks as he was interested.
"Only the man called Xanatos, his wife Jane, and his daughter Willow, they brought us here." Replied Goliath.
Kyle looked around and saw more gargoyles.
"This can't be happening." Said Kyle to himself.
The red gargoyles then sniffed.
"Is this a new friend, Goliath?" Asked the red one.
"I sure hope so." Said Kyle.
"This is Kyle, a- detective?" Asked Goliath as he was still new to the modern ages.
Kyle showed everyone a fake police badge.
"Second Class of NYPD." Said Kyle.
"What exactly does a 'Detective' do, lad?" Asked an old gargoyle.
Kyle later tried to explain.
"Well, uh, when somebody does something wrong, I find out and arrest them." Replied Kyle.
"Who says what's 'wrong'?" Asked Goliath.
"Well, we have a justice system, laws, penalties, assessments, that the people deicide." Replied Kyle.
"You mean the humans decide." Said Goliath.
The sun was starting to come up.
"You have to go, now." Said Goliath.
"Wait, will I see you again?" Asked Kyle.
"I'd like to know more about you, look you saved my life so I owe you." Said Kyle.
"Let me help understand this city." Said Kyle.
"You need to know how it works." Said Kyle.
"If we're to defend the castle, I suppose we need to be prepared for whatever's out there." Said Goliath as he looks at the city.
The other gargoyles nodded.
"Very well." Said Goliath.
"Good, I'll meet you tomorrow in the afternoon at-" Said Kyle but was cut off by Goliath.
"After dark." Said Goliath.
"Why am I not surprised?" Asked Kyle.
"Okay, here after dark." Said Kyle.
"No, not here, over there, on that rooftop." Said Goliath as he pointed to the building next to him.
"Why there?" Asked Kyle.
"Why were you sneaking into the castle?" Goliath shot back.
"A good detective trusts no one." Said Kyle as he looked away as he did not like lying to his new friends.
"That's one thing we have in common." Said Goliath.
Kyle then left the castle before anyone notices.
However what he didn't know that Willow noticed.
She doesn't know what to do, she wants the Gargoyles to find new friends, but she doesn't want to loose her friendship with them.
Minutes before sunset Willow awoke and was scrambling to find some clean clothes to wear.
She made her way out to the battlements just in time to see the gargoyles awaken.
Once they had shaken the last bits of stone skin off them and Willow ran up to them.
"You guys ready to go?" Asked Willow.
"Go where?" Asked Goliath.
"To explore the city." Replied The red one.
"After all, we can't spend the rest of our lives in the castle." Said the red one.
"Yeah." Said The green one in agreement.
"If we're gonna live here, we need to know all about it, its people, its culture, its technology-" Said the green before being cut off.
"Its food!" Yelled the blue one in excitement.
Willow stepped up.
"Don't worry, i'll keep them out of trouble." Said Willow.
Goliath sighed.
"Very well." Said Goliath.
"You three may explore, but keep a close eye on Willow, stay close to the building and stay out of sight." Said Goliath.
The gargoyles all nodded in unison and then the green and blue ones jumped off the wall.
The red one scooped up Willow and placed her on his back.
"Hold on tight." Said the red one as he too jumped off the roof.
There was a sudden rush of wind and then the red one spread his wings and levelled out.
Willow found herself shouting in sheer joy as the wind whipped her hair around.
"This is absolutely amazing!" Yelled Willow in amazement.
The grin on her face was contagious and the three gargoyles were also smiling.
Kyle was waiting for Goliath on the rooftop.
Goliath came up to him.
"Why were you hiding back there?" Asked Kyle.
"I wanted to make sure you were alone." Said Goliath.
"Not to worry, you look like you could handle a whole SWAT Team." Said Kyle.
The old gargoyle came from behind them.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Goliath.
"Just making sure you are not being ambushed." Replied the old gargoyle.
Kyle let out a scoff.
"You guys are paranoid even for New York." Said Kyle.
Kyle then walked away.
"Are you coming on the tour, uh, what do I call you, anyway?" Asked Kyle.
"Must you humans, name everything?" Asked the old gargoyle.
"Nothing's real to you till you've named it, given it's limits." Said the old gargoyle.
"It's not like that, it's just that, well, uh, things need names." Said Kyle.
"Does the sky need a name?" Asked the old gargoyle.
He then pointed at the river.
"Does the river?" Asked the old gargoyle.
"The river's called the Hudson." Said Kyle.
The old gargoyle looked at Goliath who slightly smirked.
The old gargoyle then sighed.
"Fine lad, then I will be the Hudson, as well." Said Hudson.
"Great, 'Hudson' it is, I don't know how I'm going to keep people from noticing you." Said Kyle.
"Simple, we'll stay on the rooftops." Said Goliath.
"Easy for you with wings, but what about me?" Asked Kyle.
Goliath then put Kyle on his back like he did last night.
"Well that answers that question." Said Kyle.
Goliath then looks at Hudson.
"Let's be off, coming, Hudson?" Asked Goliath.
Hudson then looks down at the city.
"I think not." Said Hudson.
"This new world is too big, too bright, too loud." Said Hudson.
"Now that I know you're all right, I'll return to guard the castle." Said Hudson.
Hudson then glides away.
"Well looks, like it's just you and me, what do you want to see?" Asked Kyle.
"The dangers that threated me and my kind." Replied Goliath.
"Lighten up will you?" Asked Kyle.
Goliath then jumps off the roof and glides towards the city.
They soon see the city.
They soon went to the statue of liberty.
"What do you think so far?" Asked Kyle.
"Such amazing changes men have made in the world while we slept." Replied Goliath.
"Stone streets finer than those the romans built." Said Goliath.
"Towers of glass and iron." Said Goliath.
"Yeah, I'm used to it." Said Kyle.
"But I guess it's impressive to be an out-of-towner." Said Kyle.
"I see no walls to guard this city, how do you protect it from invaders?" Asked Goliath.
"Well, our biggest worries aren't from outside, they're from inside." Replied Kyle.
"That, I am all too familiar with." Said Goliath.
The two later past three muggers near a man and his car.
"Aren't you freaks late for your 4-H Club meeting?" Asked Kyle as he came from out of the shadows near an ally.
"Man, it keeps getting better, don't it?" Asked one mugger.
Kyle held up his fake badge.
"Police." Said Kyle.
"Police, huh, we're very impressed, junior." Said one mugger.
"I'm warning you guys." Said Kyle as he backed away.
"Or what?" Asked a mugger as the other muggers laughed.
"Have it your way." Said Kyle.
Soon Goliath attacked the three muggers and beaten them.
"Human gratitude?" Asked Goliath.
"I guess." Said Kyle.
"You know Goliath, you may be the best things to happen to this city in a long time." Said Kyle.
Willow was showing the Trio the sights of New York.
"But the wonders of this place are even better, what's that?" Asked the green one as something came by.
A loud rumbling was heard as a motorcycle past underneath them and was drawing the gargoyle's attention.
"What was that?" Asked the red one.
"That was a motorcycle." Replied Willow.
"I'm gonna get a closer look." Said the green one as he was spreading his wings and jumping off the roof.
The blue and red ones exchanged glances then the red one grabbed Willow and then jumped off and was gliding after his brother.
"What are you doing?" Asked Willow.
"I gotta see how it works!" Yelled the green one.
"Goliath said not to be seen!" Yelled the red one.
"Don't worry, i'll be careful!" Yelled the green one.
And he was until he made the mistake of commenting on the bike and drawing the attention of the biker.
The biker ended up falling off his bike and skidding across the road.
He scrambled to his feet and ran away screaming.
"Wait, don't go." Said The green one weakly.
"Nice going." Said the red one sarcastically when they landed.
"I just wanted to see how his motorcycle worked." Said The green one.
Turning away from where the rider had gone the green one picked up the fallen bike and climbed onto it.
"Umm, I don't think that's a good idea." Said the blue one.
"Looks easy enough." The green one assured his brother as he revved the engine.
The second his clawed foot hit the gear shift on the bike and it went soaring down the street at speeds none of the gargoyles were used to.
After about five seconds he let go and was then using his wings to slow his momentum.
Unfortunately the bike went crashing straight into a brick wall to where it promptly exploded.
The four stared at the wreckage in slight fear and concern.
"Maybe we don't tell Goliath about this." Said Willow as the other three nodded.
Kyle and Goliath soon walked across the park.
"We're probably the only people in the park who don't have to worry about muggers." Said Kyle.
"This world is just as savage as the one I remember." Said Goliath.
Kyle looks at Goliath.
"Your judging it, the way humans have judged you." Said Kyle.
"I mean sure this city shows an ugly face sometimes, but there's more to it then that." Said Kyle.
"There's beauty here." Said Kyle.
"Moms that sing to their kids, the way my mom used to with me." Said Kyle as he looked away as he did not like remembering his past.
Goliath heard something.
"Goliath, what is it?" Asked Kyle.
A tranquilizer then hit Goliath on the shoulders and he roared.
Soon a bunch of people showed up around them.
One of the men grabbed Kyle.
The others were trying to grab onto Goliath.
Suddnely Goliath stopped struggling.
One of the men then took out a gun.
"What do you want?" Asked Kyle.
"We're just tying up loose ends." Said one of the men.
He then pointed his gun at Goliath.
