4 days have passed and I still have to walk in crutches! I wanted to use my magic to heal myself, but of course, it would raise suspicion. I, Morgan, and Elisa were on our way to visit Goliath and his clan.
"Sally, you okay?", Morgan asked me in concern and curiosity.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just thinking about Goliath.", I replied softly, and I saw Elisa smile with a teasing look in her eyes. We then made it to the building, and of course, Elisa wanted to convince the Gargoyles to move out since Xanatos was going to be released in a couple of days. I just hope we can convince Goliath as he was persistent about staying at the castle.
"Need help, Sally?", Elisa asked me, and I nodded as I hated feeling helpless. She helped me get out of the car, and we then went inside the building. After that, we made it to the top of the castle only to find a strange man staring at the Gargoyles.
"Hey. What are you doing here?", I asked suspiciously and defensively. "l would hate to spoil the surprise by telling you, dear ladies.", the man said to us, smiling slyly as he sounded polite, but I have a feeling that he's not a tourist.
"l hate surprises.", Elisa said as she pulled out her badge and I then showed my own badge to the man. "Now who are you?!", Morgan demanded softly as she glared at the man as we are as well.
"I'm called Macbeth.", The man named himself proudly, and I then Draven speaking to me. What is it, Draven?
He's not from around here. Draven spoke warily. I already suspected something was off about this Macbeth. "Let's step inside and discuss this.", Elisa said, raising her gun as she kept her eyes upon Macbeth.
"You protect no secrets, madam. l know all about these creatures.", Macbeth said with a grin. What?! How the hell does he know about Goliath and his clan?!
"How do you know about them?" Morgan asked suspiciously, but Macbeth just smirked. The sun then went down, and Goliath and his clan started to wake up from their sleep. "Hey girls, who's your friend?", Lexington asked us warily.
"ls this guy bothering you?" Broadway asked protectively, and Bronx then started growling at Macbeth. "l'm here to offer an invitation. Leave this drafty old castle and be guests at my home.", Macbeth said, and I could see Goliath getting angry.
"I'm afraid we must refuse.", Goliath snarled quietly. "And l'm afraid l must insist." Macbeth frowned as he revealed that he had guns.
"l'd not stoop so low as to attack you while you slept. But now...", Macbeth said with a wicked look before Broadway interrupted him. "l don't like your attitude. I think you better leave." Broadway growled lightly, going over to Macbeth, only for him to grab Broadway and throw him. I saw Broadway hit Hudson and they fell from the tower, and I went over to see that they had landed on the grass, to my relief.
"What the hell are you doing!?", I shouted in anger, only for Macbeth to throw some gas bombs. We all were coughing, and we couldn't see a thing! I then sensed Draven. Sally, Macbeth is heading for Morgan! Draven warned quickly. I then opened my eyes to see Macbeth aiming a gun at Morgan, and he then shot what looks like an electric net.
"Morgan!" I shouted to warn her, but Bronx saw it as he then pushed her out of the way, only to get caught in the net himself. "Bronx!" Morgan shouted in shock and horror.
"Morgan, are you okay?!", I called out as I tried to walk over to her, but then Macbeth stood in my way. "Why, you.", I growled as one of my hands was glowing purple. Macbeth then shot a electric net at me, and I cried out in pain as I was getting electrocuted.
"SALLY!", I saw Goliath now looking pissed, and he charged at Macbeth only for him to dodge. Goliath then fell right where Broadway and Hudson were, and I tried to use my magic, but Macbeth placed something on my hands.
"What did you do to me!?", I shouted in furious confusion. "It will prevent you from using your magic.", Macbeth said with a smirk as I then saw a jet coming down from the sky. The others tried to save me and Bronx, but Macbeth threw another gas bomb at them, and I then felt myself getting lifted off the ground.
"NO!", I heard Goliath scream as I then saw him glide to Macbeth's jet, and he tried to stop Macbeth, but I saw him get electrocuted. "GOLIATH!", I shouted in horror as I saw him fall to the ground. I'm going to make this ass pay for what he did. I thought in anger as Macbeth flew away from the castle.
I tried to convince Goliath that it was not safe here, but he was stubborn to accept.
"l don't want to hear any more." Goliath said with a growl at me.
"Goliath, please understand! You and your clan are not safe here.", Morgan pleaded for Goliath to listen to her.
"No, you don't understand. We've lost our clan, our world, our time. This castle is all we have left. We will not abandon it.", Goliath snarled lowly.
"What? You need a castle to fall on you? Read my lips. You're not safe here." I said to Goliath angrily, but I can tell that he's not giving in!
"What if the next freak job Xanatos hires shows up with a sledgehammer at high noon? We can't protect you all day, and if you find Little Shadow, how are you going to keep him safe?!" I shouted at him, trying to get him to see the point behind what I am saying. This is one of these moments I wish Sally was here, as perhaps she would have more luck with Goliath than I am.
"I shall do everything to keep him safe no matter what, and staying at the castle is one of them.". Goliath snapped, looking at me with a frustrated look. "Goliath." I said, staring at him in surprise.
"I'm going to find them." Goliath growled lightly, and he snarled briefly as the other Gargoyles came forward, "And all of you are going to stay here and protect our home.", Goliath ordered the clan as he then flew off.
"He sure is stubborn." Morgan said with a groan. Brooklyn chuckled weakly, "Isn't Sally more stubborn than him?".
"Why won't he listen to us? It's obvious that you can't stay here.", I said with a sigh.
"I think both Elisa and Morgan are right." Broadway said, looking at the others.
"What you say makes sense, lass. But Goliath is our leader. We cannot go against his wishes." Hudson said.
"Your loyalty is admirable.", Morgan said with a weak smile as I walked forward to face Hudson. "But he told you, 'protect our home.' ", I said sternly.
"Aye, that he did." Hudson said with a nod. "Hudson, you and I both know this isn't your home anymore.", I said to them sadly with a stern tone, knowing that it would be hard for them to accept.
I was in a dungeon of some sorts, and I was in my own cage while Bronx was in his own. My hands were still cuffed together, and they were covered with this metal contraption.
Draven, do you know anything about this Macbeth? I asked quietly. I heard a sigh, felt the sadness in his voice. I only had Seen of Castle Wyvern, not Macbeth, I am afraid to say. I had to find a way to get out of here. I then touched with my leg on the cage, and I noticed how the electricity went out a bit, and an idea came to my head.
Sally, don't. Draven warned me. I'm sorry, Draven. I said solemnly before I launched myself, even though I was still in pain from the gunshot that I received days ago, I cried out in pain as I felt myself get electrocuted.
"Bronx, go!", I shouted as Bronx tore through the cage, and he was able to get out. I collapsed on the floor, and I saw Bronx go over to my cage, whimpering softly. "Bronx, go...get...help.", I spoke weakly before everything went black.
I was determined to find Sally and Bronx! I'm not going to let Macbeth get away with this! Gliding over New York, I can't let Macbeth take Sally away from me as I now realize that I truly love her.
"I cannot lose you, Sally. You've fought to save me, and now it's my turn to fight to save you.". I whispered softly to the wind.
I then landed on a building, and I was sniffing the air. I smelled a familiar scent, then I took off. I then heard loud sounds beneath me, and then I looked down below me to see Bronx running through the streets.
I then landed in front of Bronx, ignoring the clamor of the humans around us. "Bronx, where's Sally?", I asked Bronx clearly, and he then started showing me the way as I then followed him.
"Don't worry, Sally. I'm coming.", I growled lightly as I have hope in the form of Bronx.
We were walking through the hallway in the castle. "Are you sure this is a good idea?", Morgan asked me nervously.
"Goliath isn't going to like this." Hudson said, shaking his head. "He doesn't have to like it. He just has to realize that he has no choice.", I said.
"Elisa's right.", Brooklyn said with a nod. "We're sitting dorks here.", Broadway said, and I chuckled in amusement.
"The word is 'sitting ducks'.", I said with a smirk as we then made it to a big door. "Come on. We can't leave the Grimorum in Xanatos' hands.", Hudson said as he opened the door, we then walked inside, and we saw the Grimorum inside a glass case. We walked over to it, only for Owen to step in front of us.
"I'm afraid l can't allow this. This book is the property of Mr.Xanatos.", Owen said with a determination in his eyes as he stood stoic before us. "And who's going to stop us? You?" Hudson asked with a growl.
"Indeed.", Owen said with a rare smile before he kicked Hudson in the foot, causing him to lose his balance, and Morgan and Brooklyn ran over to his side. I tried to run over to get the book, but Owen aimed his gun at me.
"You're trespassing.", Owen said, glaring at me, and then we heard glass shatter. "What the..", Owen said in confusion before I saw a black blur knock the gun out of his hand, and I turned around to see that it was...Another Gargoyle!
"Who are you?", Owen asked in genuine surprise. "Someone you don't want to mess with.", The Gargoyle growled softly before he kicked Owen in the head, and I saw Owen fall to the ground. The Gargoyle must have knocked him out.
"Are you all okay?", The Gargoyle asked in concern. "Yeah, we're fine.", I said with a grateful smile.
I took a good look at him. He has black skin, purple scales across his body, and he has white hair. He is tall as Goliath, but less muscular like Brooklyn. He sorta looks like Michael Fassbender in a Gargoylish way, and he is actually kind of good looking.
What am I saying? I just met this Gargoyle! Does someone have to fall in love when you get saved by a Gargoyle?! I mentally scolded myself, and I then saw the other Gargoyles freeze in shock when they saw the Gargoyle.
"Guys, are you okay?", I asked them in worry. "What's wrong?", Morgan asked, sounding worried as me.
"It can't be...", Lexington said as his eyes widen, sounding shocked. "Is it really you?", Broadway asked in hopeful surprise.
"Can it really be?" ,Brooklyn asked in amazement. "But how?", Hudson asked in shock.
