"Uh sorry, wrong floor." Said Brooklyn.
The guards open fire on the trio and forcing them to take cover back in the elevator shaft.
Wasting no time they scrambled up the wall to the floor above where Broadway made short work of the door.
The trio then dove through their new opening just as the guards began firing up the shaft.
Once they made it into the hallway and a loud alarm began blaring which is putting the entire building on high alert.
"Now what?" Asked Lexington.
In the lab on the floor below several scientists were eyeing the door to the lab nervously.
They half expected it to be kicked in at any second.
However the attack didn't come from in front of them.
Instead the ceiling above them suddenly caved in with the lights flickering off for a few seconds before coming back on.
When they did the scientists were horrified to see the three gargoyles standing in the centre of the lab with their eyes glowing white and their fangs bared.
Brooklyn approached one of the scientists cowering behind his desk and lifting him into the air with ease.
"Where is the disk?" Asked Brooklyn.
Terrified the scientist gestured to a large computer console behind him.
Lexington scampered over to it and surveying the set up.
"Let's see." Said Lexington as he was pressing a few random buttons before the disk popped out of a slot.
"Got it!" Yelled Lexington.
About that time the guards attempted to enter the room only for Broadway to slam his entire weight against the door.
"Good, because we need to go!" Yelled Broadway.
Brooklyn dropped the scientist in his grasp and then picked up a large piece of machinery.
With a growl and a heave he tossed the machinery at one of the large windows of the lab and shattering the glass on impact.
Without anytime to lose the trio took off through their new escape route and leaving the guards to futilely try and shoot them out of the sky as the trio returned to the castle.
At the underground base a guard marched up to his commander and tapping away at a pad in his hand.
"Sir, central reports that station 1 has been breached." Said the guard.
"Any details?" Asked the commander.
"Well if I'm being honest sir, they sounded rather hysterical." Replied The guard.
"There was talk of well, monsters." Said the guard.
The commander's eyes narrowed.
"I see, i want security here increased." Said the commander as he was not taking chances.
In the tunnels outside Hudson and Bronx approach the base on foot.
Hudson glanced around the filthy tunnel.
"I'm still not sure how we got talked into this." Said Hudson as he was giving his companion a small pat.
As he grew closer to his target he spotted a video camera mounted on the wall.
His eyes narrowed and he ceased walking with Bronx doing the same.
The gargoyle dog let out a small whine as he was looking up at Hudson.
"Aye boy, I know." Said Hudson.
"That is a problem." Said Hudson.
He then looked up at the large metal doors blocking his path.
He mulled over that for a second and then glanced up at the camera a second time.
"Then again." Said Hudson as he was stroking his beard.
Inside the commander gasped in shock as Hudson appeared on base's security monitors.
He immediately summoned a platoon of guards as he was sending them out to deal with the creature.
Back out with Hudson smirked as he heard several guards moving in on him from behind.
"I don't know what you are, but I bet you're not bulletproof." Said One of the guards.
"Aye." Said Hudson as he was turning around and lifting his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"It's a wager you'd win." Said Hudson.
Behind him the metal doors began to slowly slide open with the guards ushering Hudson inside.
Once he makes it a few steps in Bronx comes charging out of the shadows.
He tackled one of the guards as Hudson dealt with another and tossing him into a trio of guards moving in on the gargoyles.
Bronx then snarls at the commander who pulls a pistol out of his jacket.
"What the devil-?!" Yelled the commander in shock.
Before he could finish Hudson charged into him and knocking him aside.
Unfortunately this also caused the commander to let off a stray shot, one that struck the computer console and set it ablaze.
Scientists and guards alike scattered as the fire spread Hudson making use of the confusion to search for the disk.
Unfortunately for the old gargoyle the computer array was beyond foreign to him.
"Confounded device!" Yelled Hudson as he slammed his fist on several buttons at once.
One of the buttons he hit was the eject button which brought the disk he desired into view.
He quickly picked it up and turning towards Bronx.
"Come boy, we're leaving!" Yelled Hudson.
Bronx had been keeping a trio of guards pinned down behind a desk and immediately heeded Hudson's call.
As he did so the commander finally managed to recover from Hudson's attack.
He pulled himself up onto the security console and slammed his fist onto the emergency button.
An alarm began sounding as the large metal doors began to slide close.
Seeing their only exit slowing growing smaller Hudson and Bronx had to pick up the pace.
They dove through the door just as he slammed shut nearly taking off Hudson's tail.
He stopped just on the other side of the door and panting slightly and rubbing his back.
"I'm getting too old for this." Said Hudson.
Down the tunnel the two could hear an army of guards coming closer and already letting lose several shots.
The two gargoyles immediately dart up a nearby ladder as they were escaping through a side tunnel.
The guards followed in hot pursuit.
As the two gargoyles ran they soon found themselves trapped in a caged catwalk above a subway tunnel.
"We'll be sitting ducks in here, right enough." Said Hudson.
The guards were closing in fast and firing down the tunnel and forcing the gargoyles to keep running through the catwalk.
Down below the sounds of a subway train filled the tunnel which gave Hudson an idea.
He tore off a section of the fencing surrounding the catwalk and then both he and Bronx jumped onto the train as it passed underneath them.
The guards skid to a halt in front of Hudson's exit and were watching the two gargoyles disappear down the tunnel.
Soon the tunnel opened onto a section of open track.
Hudson wasted no time grabbing Bronx and spreading his wings.
The sheer wind force was just enough to pull them off the train and allow them to safely launch into the air.
They land hard on a rooftop and rolling for a bit before coming to a stop.
Bronx immediately began assaulting Hudson with slobbering dog kisses before Hudson good-naturedly pushed him off.
"Away with ye." Said Hudson as he was rotating his arms a bit.
"You need to be losing some weight, and that's a fact." Said Hudson as he glared at Bronx.
Bronx let out a small whine as Hudson looked at the disk in his hand.
"I hope this wee thing is worth the aches I'll be feeling later." Said Hudson.
On board the airship the captain of the vessel was approached by the head of the security team.
"Stations 1 and 2 have been breached?!" Asked the captain.
"Then we've lost two-thirds of the data!" Yelled the captain in a panic.
The door to the bridge was kicked down which was drawing everyone's attention.
They turned to see Goliath and the female emerge from the darkened hallway behind them.
"Wrong, you've lost all of it." Said the female gargoyle.
Goliath moved in on the guards with his wings raised in a show of power.
They raised their weapons to fire but Goliath merely whipped around and striking them with his tail before they had the chance.
He then picked up the Captain who struggled in his grip.
"W-what are you?" Asked the Captain.
Goliath remained silent and keeping his grip on the captain as the female went over to the computer console.
With accuracy surprising for a being who had supposedly just awoken in this time period the female ejected the disk and snagging it quickly and holding it up.
"Mission accomplished." Said the female.
She spotted a few key wires poking out from under the console.
With a quick swipe of her clawed feet and she tore through them with ease and grabbing a handful of them.
She then proceeded to shove the wires right into the machinery itself.
The entire system began to smoke and spark before bursting into flames.
"My angel, what have you done?!" Asked Goliath in shock and dropping the Captain in his shock.
"No time!" Yelled the female as alarms began going off.
"We must flee!" Yelled the female.
Goliath remained rooted in place as he was watching as the humans of the ship tried desperately to put out the fire.
He did not even hear the female kick open an escape hatch.
"Goliath, this way!" Yelled the female.
"We cannot leave the humans!" Yelled Goliath as he was turning to go aid them.
With a feral growl the female grabbed Goliath's hand and dragging him towards the escape hatch.
She forced them both through it and with the two gliding away from the ship as it began to slowly descend into the Hudson.
Goliath turned back and was watching helplessly as it crashed into the water with a heavy splash.
He turned away as both he and his mate silently making their way back to the castle.
Kyle saw some kind of fire that came from the river.
He looked up from the smoke and saw two gargoyles.
"Goliath?" Kyle asks himself.
The two gargoyles return to the castle where Xanatos was waiting for them with the trio, Hudson and Willow.
The female handed over the disk to him with a smirk.
Xanatos took it while grinning.
"My friends, you have my profound thanks." Said Xanatos.
"Rest assured that the information on the disks will be put to beneficial use for human and gargoyle alike." Said Xanatos.
"Yeah, you have fun with that, dad." Said Willow as she was grabbing Brooklyn and Lexington by the hands.
She dragged the two off with Broadway quickly following.
"Hey, wait for me!" Yelled Broadway as he didn't want to be left behind.
Xanatos chuckled and then walked off with the collection of disks.
Goliath turned to leave as well but his mate quickly stopped him.
"Where are you going?" Asked the female.
"I promised a friend that I would meet with him." Said Goliath as he explained.
"I will return." Said Goliath.
"A friend?" Asked The female suspiciously.
"Who, not one of us." Said the female.
"He is a human." Said Goliath.
"A Detective named Kyle." Said Goliath as he doesn't know his last name.
"Outside of Xanatos and his family, we have no human friends." Said The female.
"Nor should we, humanity is our enemy, Goliath." Said the female in anger.
"I thought you learned that a millennium ago." Said the female.
"I cannot make with an entire world." Said Goliath as he tried to reason with her.
"Doesn't Xanatos, Jane and Willow prove that there are good humans as well as bad?" Asked Goliath as he attempted to move but his mate blocked him.
"Can you forgive the humans for what they did to our kind?" Asked the female as she growled.
"The ones responsible for that tragedy have been dead for over a thousand years." Said Goliath.
"Then their descendants shall pay!" Yelled the female as she was erupting into a furious anger.
"I will have blood for blood!" Yelled the female.
Goliath looked down at his mate coldly as he was remembering what she had told him back on the airship.
"You claimed that the centuries of slumber have changed me, but the same can be said for you." Said Goliath.
"You have become hard and unforgiving, you are not as I remember you." Said Goliath.
The female's features softened, her anger giving way to shock and disbelief. Goliath then walked to the edge of the battlements spreading his wings and as silently he took off into the night.
In Xanatos' office, he, Jane and Owen watched the entire exchange on the former's computer.
With a sigh Xanatos closed his computer and rising to his feet.
"Goliath, it seems, is too hard to control." Said Xanatos as he rubbed his chin.
"A pity." Said Xanatos.
Kyle then waited on top of the rooftops were Goliath just came down.
"Where have you been?, I've been looking all over for you." Said Kyle.
"Why?" Goliath asks in confusion.
"Three Cyberbiotics installations have reported robberies by some kind of creatures, and I saw you and another gargoyle flying away from the plane wreck." Kyle explained.
"What is this all about, Goliath?" Asked Kyle.
"The disks were stolen from Xanatos, we returned them to him." Replied Goliath.
Kyle took something from out of his pocket.
"Remember this?" Asked Kyle.
Goliath then saw the same logo that was on the transmitter.
"I traced that emblem." Said Kyle.
"It's the logo of a robotics firm that owned by, are you ready?, Xanatos Enterprises." Said Kyle as he explained about the logo.
"Are you saying that Xanatos is responsible for the attack in the park?" Goliath asks.
"That's exactly what I'm saying." Replied Kyle.
"He probably planted that bug on you himself." Said Kyle.
"But those were the same men who stole the disks from him." Said Goliath.
"Goliath, nothing was stolen, I checked." Said Kyle.
"Those disks were Cyberbiotics' property." Said Kyle.
"He must have staged the theft to trick you into stealing the disks, he used you." Said Kyle.
"He's been using you from the beginning." Said Kyle.
Goliath then widen his eyes in shock.
"Listen, Goliath, we haven't known each other for long, and I know you don't any good reason to trust humans." Said Kyle.
Goliath turned his head.
"But you've got to trust somebody in this world, and I think you'd be better off with me than Xanatos." Said Goliath.
Goliath then looked at the paper with the logo and crushed it with a growl.
"You won't regret it." Said Kyle as he put his hand on Goliath's shoulder.
"And since we'll be friends, I think I should tell you something about myself." Said Kyle.
Goliath then raised his eyebrow.
"I wasn't really a detective, I just said that so I could have a good reason to check out the castle." Said Kyle as he looked away.
"Then what were you doing there?" Asked Goliath in confusion.
"I was just wondering what happened at the castle and so I can the real story." Said Kyle.
"Does this change anything?" Asked Kyle.
Goliath closed his eyes and that made Kyle worry.
Goliath opened his eyes.
"No, you only wanted to know what really happened and you saved my life." Said Goliath.
Kyle then smiled which Goliath returned.
Within the castle Xanatos stood before five tall figures.
Each one was covered in a large white sheet.
"I'm afraid the gargoyles have outlived their usefulness, i can't count on their loyalty anymore." Said Xanatos with a cold voice.
"However, with the data on the disks, I can bring their replacements online." Said Xanatos.
Owen glanced down at his watch and noticing the time.
"Sunset is in approximately three hours." Said Owen.
"Once the sun comes up, we can easily dispose of the gargoyles." Said Owen.
"No." Said the female as she was walking into the room.
"You need to test these replacements, do you not?" Asked the female as she caressed the sheets with claw.
"Dear, do you think you can get Willow out of the way?" Asked Xanatos as he did not want his daughter hurt.
"Sure." Said Jane as she walked off.
Brooklyn then looked at New York.
He then sighed.
"I think I'm gonna like this century." Said Brookyln as Lexington worked on a laptop while Broadway was eating.
Willow was told by her mother to join her and Xanatos for a family dinner which Willow agreed on.
"Yeah, we had a little trouble adjusting at first." Said Broadway.
"But I think everything's going to be fine now." Said Broadway.
Soon a laser went through Broadway's Chinese box.
They soon looked down as saw robots that looks like Goliath.
And saw Xanatos, Owen and the female gargoyles with them.
"Attack." Said Xanatos.
The robots then began to fly to the three.
"What are those things?" Asked Broadway.
It then raised it's arm ray.
Lexington then scampered away.
It then fired it's lasers.
The other two then dodged out of the way.
One of the other robots hits Broadway with it's ray.
He soon held onto one of the edges but one of the bricks came loose.
He then fell right on his back.
One of the other robots then targeted Lexington and shoot's it ray at him.
Brooklyn then catched him and carried him off.
The robot then tried aim again but was stopped when Goliath ran into it.
Goliath then rammed it into a wall and it was destroyed.
Goliath then went to Brooklyn and Lexington.
"Give him to me." Ordered Goliath.
Brooklyn then threw Lexington to him and Goliath catched him.
Goliath soon went to Broadway.
He then placed Lexington with him.
Brooklyn then went one of the tower legs and begins climbing up.
Hudson and Bronx came out.
"What's all the noise?" Asked Hudson.
They then looked up and saw one of the robots.
The robot then fired it's ray at Hudson and Bronx.
They managed to doge it and the robot then went to the ledge.
Bronx then jumped and bit the robot's tail.
The robot then landed and tried to shoot Bronx with it's ray.
Hudson then grabbed his sword and jumped down.
He then sliced the robot.
"Never a dull moment, is there boy?" Asked Hudson.
They both ran to help the others.
Kyle then ran inside the building and made himself invisible so the guards can't see him.
He later went past the guard and went to the top to help his friends.
The robot keeps shooting at Goliath.
Goliath then grabbed the robot from behind.
He then then made the robot crash with the other and caused and explosion.
Xanatos, Owen and the female gargoyle then dodge the rubble coming down on them.
Goliath then landed one of the castle towers.
Soon Broadway and Lexington woke up.
"What's going on?" Asked Lexington.
"I don't know but it's not over yet." Replied Broadway.
The last robot then tried to blast them.
But they managed to doge it.
Brooklyn came behind Goliath in the tower.
The robot then targeted the others.
"Quickly." Said Goliath.
Both He and Brooklyn pushed a wall onto the robot.
It was then destroyed like the others.
"And they say The Middle Ages were barbaric." Said Hudson.
Jane and Willow came into the battle field much to Jane's dismay as she was trying to stop her from coming outside.
"We won dudes." Said Brooklyn in excitement.
" 'Dude'?" Asked Goliath as he doesn't know what that word means.
"You haven't won anything, fools." Said the female gargoyle.
The female gargoyle then pointed at Goliath and Brooklyn with a bazooka.
While Xanatos aimed his gun at the others.
She then fired the bazooka at the two.
Brooklyn and Goliath managed to doge it but Brooklyn landed with the others while Goliath landed on the same bridge with the female gargoyle.
"What are you doing?" Asked Goliath in shock.
Hudson then took out his sword as the others were ready for a fight.
"Hold it." Said Xanatos as he pinpointed them with his gun to keep them at bay.
"Let's just let them play out their little drama, shall we?" Asked Xanatos.
Willow wanted to ask what was going on but her mother stopped her.
"Goliath, you're a fool, but then, you always were, weren't you?" Asked the female gargoyle.
"If you'd only taken the rest of our clan away from the castle that night, the plan was perfect." Said the female gargoyle.
"Plan?" Asked Goliath.
"It would have succeeded." Said the female gargoyle as she didn't hear his question.
"What plan?" Asked Goliath loudly.
"I made a bargain with the captain, I was to get us all out of the castle so that the Vikings could sack it." Said the female.
"What?" Asked Goliath in shock.
"It would have work, then after the humans were gone, we would have had the castle all to ourselves." Said the female.
"But you ruined it." Said the female.
"You had to protect the humans, you made us stay at the castle when we should have been with you." Said the female.
"When the Vikings attacked, the captain said he'd protect us, but I didn't trust him, I stayed alive because I don't trust anyone." Said the female.
"But why did you do it?" Asked Goliath as he cannot get over what she said.
"You can ask me that, after how they treated us?" Asked the female in shock.
"They had to pay, all humanity has to pay for what they did to our kind." Said the female.
The gargoyles looked shocked at what she said.
"There is good and evil in all of us- human and gargoyle alike, you should know that more than anyone." Said Goliath.
"Don't you see?, none of this would have happened if it weren't for you." Said Goliath as he pointed at the female.
"Don't say that!, Goliath this is your last chance, humanity is a poison that must be purged from this planet." Said the female.
"Together you and I can create a new world for our kind." Said the female as she walked towards him.
"You trusted me once, you loved me once, we have found each other again after a thousand years of solitude." Said the female.
Goliath puts his head down.
"Does that mean nothing to you?" Asked the female.
Goliath refuses to look at her.
"Very well then." Said the female.
"If you are not my ally then you are my enemy." Said the female as she pointed her bazooka at him.
She then fired and it hit the wall behind him.
Goliath then fell to the ground with red smoke around him.
"I have a name too, Goliath." Said the female as she emerged from the smoke.
"The humans gave it to me long ago." Said the female as she pointed at herself.
"You should know it before you die." Said the female as she pointed the bazooka at Goliath.
"I am Demona." Said Demona as she held the bazooka near Goliath's chest.
"Goodbye Goliath." Said Demona.
Kyle then appeared at the top and took of his invisibility and tackled Demona.
Demona accidently fired the bazooka at the top of one of the castle towers.
Xanatos got knocked out by one of the rocks.
The top of the tower then collided with the ledge that Demona and Kyle stood on and crumbled.
They soon fell off the ledge.
Goliath then went down off the ledge to grab one of them.
He later grabbed Kyle's hand and pulled up to safety.
Unfortunately Demona continued falling with rocks around her.
Goliath couldn't see Demona anywhere.
He then released a roar.
Xanatos then began to woke up.
"She wanted me to destroy humanity." Said Goliath as he grabbed Xanatos.
Goliath then held him off the ledge.
"I think I'll start with you." Said Goliath.
Willow watched in shock, was Goliath really going to drop her dad?
Xanatos then glared.
"Go ahead, without me you'd still be gathering moss." Said Xanatos showing no fear.
Goliath growled.
"No Goliath, don't do this." Said Kyle as he went up to him.
"Give me one good reason not to drop him." Said Goliath in anger.
"Because if you do you're the same as Demona." Said Willow as she ran over.
"Their right, lad." Said Hudson as he went up.
"Is that what you want?" Asked Hudson.
Goliath then looked at Xanatos.
"No." Replied Goliath.
He then threw Xanatos near the stairway.
Kyle, Willow and Hudson them smiled at Goliath.
Goliath returned to smile.
Police cars then appeared and Xanatos and Jane (when evidenced was shown she was involved) was arrested.
The police then drove off.
Willow watched them work from a nearby rooftop as she was surrounded by the gargoyles.
"What's gonna happen to me now?" Asked Willow.
"With my parents in prison, I have no one." Said Willow as she closed her eyes.
"You're wrong." Said Goliath.
"You have us." Said Goliath.
Willow looked up at Goliath in surprise.
"You mean it?" Asked Willow.
"You protected my clan as if they were your own and they have done the same." Replied Goliath.
"You will always have a place among us." Said Goliath.
Smiling with tears in her eyes Willow surprised Goliath with a big hug who he returned in kind and wrapping his wings around her.
Once he released her, Kyle and Hudson approached.
Goliath was looking at the sky.
"You did the right thing, Lad." Said Hudson.
"Do you think she survived?" Asked Goliath as he looks at the two.
"If she did, we'll know soon enough, I imagine." Replied Hudson as he shook his head.
Goliath then looked at Kyle.
"It's nice to know I have at least two human friends in this new world." Said Goliath.
"Well let's hope you have more, lots more." Said Kyle with a smile.
"But whether you do or not Goliath, I'll always be your friend Goliath, and the other gargoyles too." Said Kyle.
"Same time tomorrow night?" Asked Kyle as he couldn't wait to show Goliath more of New York.
"I wouldn't miss it." Replied Goliath.
The sun was going to rise soon so the gargoyles went to take their post.
However, Willow stopped Brooklyn.
"I hope you will allow me to do the same." Said Willow with a hopeful voice.
"Of course, you still haven't shown us these theatres." Said Brooklyn.
"It's a date." Said Willow as she was smiling.
Quickly she planted a small kiss on Brooklyn's cheek and the red gargoyle turned even redder and smiling widely as the sun came up.
Kyle approached Willow.
"I wonder if this city's ready for these guys." Said Kyle.
Willow nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, me too." Said Willow.
Goliath and the other Gargoyles turned to stone when the Sun rises.
Kyle looked at the city.
Owen came up to him.
Kyle then looks at him.
"What do you want?" Asked Kyle.
"It would seems you have nowhere to go, Kyle is it?" Asked Owen.
"Yes?" Replied/Asked Kyle with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, Mr. Xanatos will allow you to stay here, until he and his wife is out of jail or until your gargoyle friends leave." Said Owen as he walked away.
Kyle then widen his eyes in shock as Willow gasped.
