I talked a bit more about my magic with Brooklyn and Lexington as Broadway was eating more food. He grabbed a box, and I saw a laser destroy it. "Whoa." Broadway yelled in shock as I then ran over to make sure that he wasn't hurt, and I turned around to see who shot that laser, only to be met with something more shocking.
There stood Xanatos, Owen, and a blue female Gargoyle, who I presume is Goliath's mate, and behind them were robots who looked like Goliath.
"What the Hell?!", I yelled in shock as I felt Draven connect to me. Draven, what's that female gargoyle doing with them? I asked furiously in confusion.
She's betraying the clan! Draven roared angrily. "Attack!", Xanatos yelled, and then the robots came flying at us.
One of the Gargoyle robots fired at us, and we all were able to get out the way, but Broadway wasn't able to. I watched in horror as he landed hard on the ground, and fell unconscious.
I gasped in shock as I realized something horrible. I couldn't believe it as Xanatos was only using the Gargoyles just to create robot versions of them! I then saw Lexington being chased by one of the robots, and the robot was able to shoot Lexington in the wing, and he fell unconscious. I gasped in horror as he was about to fall, but Brooklyn was able to catch him in time.
The robot kept chasing them until Goliath showed up, and smashed the robot into a wall. However, another robot was coming from behind Goliath. "GOLIATH! WATCH OUT!" I shouted as I then glowed a blue aura, and flew towards the robot. I then punched the robot in the head which instantly made it explode.
"Thank you, Sally.". He smiled gratefully with a nod. "No problem.", I said with a grin, and I then looked down to see Xanatos, Owen and the female Gargoyle with shocked looks on their faces.
"That's impossible! Magic shouldn't exist in a human!". Xanatos exclaimed in amazement yet shock. The female Gargoyle growled in anger, "All the more to destroy her!".
Xanatos yelled, "Get her! Get her!". Sally, there are more robots heading your way. Draven warned me quickly.
"Bring it on!", I said with a growl alongside a smirk as I flew alongside Goliath. This was kind of fun! I launched energy beams at more robots as I flew around. I was not going to let Xanatos kill my friends!
I could see Hudson and the blue Gargoyle dog who Brooklyn told me was called Bronx take out another robot, and I smiled smugly. I then saw Goliath make two robots crash into each other, and pieces went flying everywhere. I saw Xanatos, Owen, and the Female Gargoyle run for cover.
Sally, there's a robot heading for Broadway and Lexington! Draven warned me hastily, and I then looked over to see a robot gargoyle heading towards Broadway and Lexington. "Oh no, you don't!", I shouted as I flew over to where they were, and threw a powerful energy beam at the robot which made it explode.
Broadway and Lexington woke up and started heading to Hudson and Bronx, but I saw another robot heading towards them. I was about to fly over, but I saw Goliath and Brooklyn push a piece of rock which fell on the robot, and crushed it.
"We won, dude!" Brooklyn cheered eagerly. "Dude?", Goliath asked in confusion as I giggled of amusement.
"You haven't won anything, fools!", I saw the female Gargoyle aiming a missile launcher at the tower which Goliath and Brooklyn are on, and she fired the missile. I gasped in horror as I saw Goliath and Brooklyn fall from the tower, but luckily to my relief, Goliath landed on the bridge where the female Gargoyle is on, while Brooklyn landed near the others.
The gargoyles wanted to go over and help their leader, but Xanatos aimed his gun at them. "Hold it, let's just let them play out their little drama, shall we?", Xanatos said in amusement while I was on the other side of the castle so he didn't notice me.
"Goliath, you're a fool. But then, you always were, weren't you? If you'd only taken the rest of our clan away from the castle that night. The plan was perfect!", the female Gargoyle yelled in anger. "What plan?", Goliath asked in confusion and curiosity, and I also wanted to know as well.
"l made a bargain with the captain. l was to get us all out of the castle so that the Vikings could sack it.", the female Gargoyle growled lightly. "What?!" Goliath said in shock.
"It would have worked. And after the humans were gone, we would have had the castle all to ourselves. But you ruined it.", she snarled angrily, continuing on, "You had to protect the humans. You made us stay at the castle when we should have been with you. When the Vikings attacked, the captain said he'd protect us. But I didn't trust him. I've stayed alive because I don't trust anyone!", The female Gargoyle said at last in frustration, and I then sensed that Draven was angry.
Gargoyles are the protectors of the castle, guardians of the night! Draven roared angrily. Goliath shook his head in shock, "But why did you do it?",
"You can ask me that? After how they treated us, they had to pay. All humanity has to pay for what they did to our kind!", the female Gargoyle roared in anger. Goliath growled lightly, "There's good and evil in all of us. Human and Gargoyle alike.".
"Don't say that, and maybe if you had taken the clan, maybe Little Shadow might have still been with you.", the Female Gargoyle snarled lightly. After hearing this, I could see Goliath now looking pissed.
"Don't abuse the memory of Little Shadow! I know he turned to stone when he was with me. He was just taken long ago before Xanatos! I know that he's still alive out there, somewhere.". Goliath sighed heavily, a growl escaping him. "Little Shadow was the only other Gargoyle that I cherished in my heart, and because of you, he is gone!", The female Gargoyle snarled furiously.
"When I heard that Xanatos wasn't able to find Little Shadow's statue, I spent most of my time searching for him, hoping that one day I would find him!", The female gargoyle replied angrily, upset.
Goliath sighed heavily, "Your heart has gone dark. Little Shadow would be ashamed of you.". The female Gargoyle seethed, snarled, "You have forgotten already! You trusted me once. You loved me once! We have found each other again after a thousand years of solitude! Does that mean nothing to you?!".
Goliath closed his eyes, sighed deeply as he now looked resigned, and the female Gargoyle looked taken back for a moment, then growled lightly, "Very well, then. If you are not my ally, then you are my enemy.". She launched another missile at Goliath, and he dodged it, but he landed on his back.
"I have a name too, Goliath. The humans gave it to me long ago, and you should know it before you die. I am Demona.", Demona growled angrily with her eyes glowing red, and she then aimed the missile launcher at Goliath's chest. I gasped in horror, and I was starting to fly over to them.
But then I saw Elisa tackle Demona to the ground, and I saw the gun launch another missile to a tower. I saw it falling towards the bridge where Elisa and Demona are on. I watched in horror as the tower split the bridge in two, and I saw Elisa and Demona falling down. Thinking fast, I flew towards the falling tower and I used my telekinesis to make the tower float back up to the top.
"SAVE ELISA,GOLIATH!" I shouted to Goliath as he nods and goes after Elisa. I saw him carry her back up to the tower, and I landed near them. I saw that Demona was still falling, and then I couldn't see her anymore. I saw Goliath himself is filled with sadness and anger.
Goliath then roared so loud that it rivaled the roar of a monster truck, "Arrgh!". I saw Xanatos waking up, and then Goliath grabbed him by the throat, and lifting him over the edge. "She wanted me to destroy humanity. I think l'll start with you!", Goliath roared angrily.
"Go ahead and kill me, as if I hadn't found you, you'd still be gathering moss." Xanatos said with a smirk, and I then ran over to Goliath.
"No, Goliath, don't do this.", I said to Goliath hastily as I touched his arm again, still a bit awed by his strength. "Give me one good reason not to drop him." Goliath said, growling lightly.
"Because if you do, you're the same as Demona.", I said to Goliath worriedly as I looked at him straight on. "She's right, lad. ls that what you want?" Hudson said as he and the others came around us.
Goliath blinked, turned slightly to look at me, and I tilted my head silently, pleading him, and he sighed heavily, closing his eyes, and then opening them, looking at Xanatos with a disgusted look on his face. Goliath then tossed Xanatos to the floor, and I smiled in relief as Elisa then arrested him.
A while later, the police came to take Xanatos away while I and Elisa were with Goliath and Hudson. "You did the right thing, lad." Hudson said, comforting Goliath warmly. "Do you think she survived?" Goliath asked in curiousity, looking out to the city.
" If she did, we'll know soon enough, I imagine so.", Hudson said, nodding with a wise glint in his eye. The other Gargoyles were sitting on the ledge as they knew dawn was approaching, and I then noticed Goliath was still looking sad.
"What's wrong, Goliath?", I asked him softly as I leaned against the ledge slightly, looking at him. "I can't stop thinking about what Demona said to me about Little Shadow. Maybe if I had taken the clan away from the castle, he would still be here with us.", Goliath said, his voice rumbling slowly.
"No, Goliath, don't blame yourself. Little Shadow might still be alive, and he's probably searching for all of you.", I said as I touched his hand, startling him to look at me, and I smiled comfortingly, and he slowly smiled at me, a weak grateful look in his eyes.
"Sally's right, Goliath.", Elisa said, smiling in agreement as she stood next to Hudson.
Hudson nodded, "You have taught Little Shadow the basics of survival. I am sure that he is fine, wherever he is.". Goliath sighed lightly, "I do hope you are right, Hudson.".
"Don't worry, Goliath. Like Sally said before, we'll help you find him before Demona does.", Elisa said with a determined grin.
I heard the others talking down below us, and Brooklyn was looking for something, "Hey, where are my sunglasses?". A bark answered him, and Bronx walked to him with sunglasses in his mouth, and Brookyln grinned brightly as he received them, "Thanks, Bronx.".
Broadway moaned lightly, "I wish I had time for a snack.". Lexington admonished him, "But you just ate!".
Goliath chuckled lightly as he heard his clanmates, and spoke softly, "Some things never change yet other things change.". I smiled softly as Goliath then leaped into the ledge, taking a position before glancing at me and Elisa. "It's nice to know that I have two human friends in this new world.". Goliath smiled warmly.
"We hope you have more friends, lots more. But whether you do or not, we'll always be your friends, Goliath.", I said, grinning brightly. "Same time, tomorrow night?", Elisa asked.
"I wouldn't miss it." Goliath said with a chuckle and a bright grin. "Good. Maybe we'll catch a Giants game.", Elisa said, grinning.
"Giants?", Goliath spoke in confusion as the sun rose. Goliath had that funny look on his face when he turned to stone, and I giggled. "I wonder if this city is ready for you guys.", Elisa said softly as she looked out to the city, facing the sunrise.
"We'll have to teach them, Elisa.", I smiled as I looked out as well, and I heard a chuckle of agreement from Elisa. Draven, I'm sorry you had to hear that. About Demona betraying her own clan. I said to the spirit sadly.
Demona has had a hard past, Sally. Draven said softly, a hint of anger in his voice. Can you read her soul? I asked curiously.
It's difficult to say...I may be a Seer at times, but Demona, she... Leaving the clan is one thing, but betraying the clan... Goliath and the others is better off without her... Draven sighed, drawling slowly with sadness and a bit relief in his voice. I guess it's up to us to protect the city alongside the Gargoyles. I said to Draven confidently with determination.
We both observed the city from the castle. One thing for sure is that we were going to have lots of adventures with the Gargoyles.
