"So, you mean that we are going to stay like this until you take the herb?", Elisa said in dismay, staring at me with shock. "Unfortunately, yes.", I said, wincing.
"How am I going to make through the night with this voice?!", Hudson said with a groan. "!sdrawkcab gnikaeps ma I ?ti ekam ot gniog I ma woH.", Lexington said. (He said How I am going to make it? I am speaking backwards!). I saw Goliath opening his mouth once again.
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
"I just don't want to be assigned a case while wearing this!", Elisa said, moaning in dismay. "At least I didn't get affected.", Brooklyn said with a victory smirk.
"Ah...ah...ah..ACHOO!", I sneezed as I think Brookyln is about to get his turn now. "Brooklyn!", I heard Morgan shout in dismayed shock, and I saw what I had turned Brooklyn into.
I gasped as I saw that I turned Brooklyn into a cat! I noticed that he had red fur, and as I looked closer, he looks like a Maine Coon. "Oh, no!", I said to myself, shaking my head in dimsay.
"Oh, my goodness!", Elisa said in shock as she stared at Brooklyn. Broadway chuckled lightly, "Okay, I gotta admit that he looks cute as a cat.". Brooklyn glared at him.
"!yzarc s'ti, tac a onti a elyograg gnignahC", Lexington chuckled in bewilderment. (Changing a gargoyle into a cat, it's crazy!) "That's a bad intention of magic.", Hudson spoke lightly. Goliath sang again,
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
"Brooklyn!", Morgan shouted in dismay as she picked him up, and Bronx started barking at Brooklyn. "Bronx, stop it!" Morgan shouted, scolding him, and Bronx then stopped.
"Brooklyn, it's me, Morgan. Can you understand me?", Morgan asked, and I saw Brooklyn nod his head, and Morgan sighed in relief.
Among Brooklyn's red pelt, there was a white stripe from his forehead to a little bit upon his tail which in place was his hair when he was a Gargoyle, and in place of his loincloth, he's wearing a collar now which is dark blue.
"That's a relief, but now, we really need Draven to get back here fast!", Morgan said, turning around to face me, a desperate look on her face as she held Bronx who's glaring at Brooklyn who's climbing into Morgan's shoulders around the neck.
"She's right! What if your sneeze does something like that to us?", Elisa said in horror and worry. "I already have enough problems with having a voice like this.", Hudson said, shaking his head with a moan.
"!?em dnatsrednu t'nac uoy fi,syug uoy ot klat ot gniog I ma woH", Lexington said. (How am I going to talk to you guys if you can't understand me?!). Goliath then sang again,
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
"Sally, contact Draven!", Broadway said hastily with a desperate glance at me. "Okay.", I said with a nod. I then placed my hand on the necklace, and it glowed.
"Draven, can you hear me?", I asked, calling out. "Yes, I can, Sally. What's wrong?", Draven asked in concern as his voice projected out of the necklace like a radio walkie-talkie.
"There are some problems here. I already affected my friends with my sneezing!", I said hastily with a moan. "Like what?", Draven asked, sounding curious.
"First, I made Broadway's outfit change to a cowboy outfit, and then I changed Elisa's outfit to a Catwoman suit.", I said, sounding sheepish. "Oh my goodness, what else happened?", Draven asked, sounding surprised with concern.
"My sneeze also deaged Bronx into a puppy, and I made Hudson's voice high pitched, and I also made Lexington talk backwards!", I said, getting a bit desperate now. "What about Goliath and Brooklyn? What did the sneeze do to them?", Draven asked, sounding worried now.
"I...made Goliath sing instead of talk because every time he opens his mouth, he will sing instead, and I turned Brooklyn into a cat.", I spoke quietly, feeling distressed now. "Please tell us that you found the herb.", Elisa asked hastily as she came closer to me.
"I'm still in the mountains. I do know that I am getting closer, just hold on a bit longer!", Draven called out, and then the necklace stopped glowing. "How can we wait? I want the effect your sneeze did on us to wear off!", Elisa said, moaning in dismay.
"Sorry, Elisa.", I said softly as I hugged her comfortingly. This went for a while. At first, it was funny seeing Goliath sing, Lexington talk backwards, and Hudson speaking in a high-pitched voice, but now, it's getting annoying.
"Uh, guys,we have trouble.", Morgan said, pointing a finger as she saw something, and we all went outside to the balcony, and we spotted one of Xanatos' Gargoyle robots. "Out of all times, does he have to attack now!?", Elisa asked in annoyance and embarrassment.
"That's a problem. How are we going to work together if we are still under the effects of the sneeze?", Broadway asked in despair. "We just have to figure it out somehow.", Hudson spoke thoughtfully.
"!? woh tuB", Lexington groaned in distress. (But how?!) As always this day, Goliath sang,
In the circle
The circle of life
"Come on, guys, we have to stop Xanatos!", I said, pointing at the Robot Gargoyle with suppressed frustration. "Where's Brooklyn?", Morgan asked frantically as she looked around.
"You go search for him, and after you find him, stay here at the clock tower, and wait for Draven.", I said, glancing at him, and I then saw Bronx walk up to us. "Sorry, Bronx, but you can't go with us.", I said sternly, and Bronx whined pitifully.
"I'm going with you too, even though I'm embarrassed to go out wearing this.", Elisa said, gesturing to herself, and I then felt Goliath pick me up and we were all off, and soon, we then saw where the robot had landed.
I was now in the streets, searching for Brooklyn, and I saw him near the the crossing sign. "Brooklyn!", I shouted in relief as he saw me, and he tried to run over to me, but a stray dog got in his way. Having no other choice, Brooklyn ran into the alleyway.
I started running after him, and I saw the dog getting close to him. Thinking fast, I found a bone, and I called out to the dog. "Here, boy!", I said. The dog saw the bone in my hand, and he came over to my side. I threw the bone, and the dog went after it.
I then continued to search for Brooklyn as I was in the park, and I just hope I can find him before another dog does. "Oh, Brooklyn. Please be okay, I don't want to lose you.", I muttered to myself. I then heard meowing, and sure enough, I saw Brooklyn up in a nearby tree.
"What's wrong, Brooklyn? Can you get down?", I asked in worry, and Brookyln shook his head. I then started climbing the tree carefully, and soon, I made to the top.
"Brooklyn, get on my shoulder.", I said softly. Brooklyn then got on my shoulder as I then started climbing down, and I then landed on the ground. Brooklyn meowed as I then hugged him to my chest.
"Brooklyn, I don't know if you can understand me, but I was so afraid to lose you. I really love you, Brooklyn.", I whispered softly, and Brooklyn purred warmly, nuzzling into my chin.
"So, you can really understand me, huh?", I said with a shy smile, and Brooklyn mewed, nodding. "Well, let's go back to the clock tower.", I said hastily as we started walking back to the tower.
After we made it back, I placed Brooklyn down, and I started to search for Bronx, but I couldn't find him. "Bronx? Where could he be?", I asked myself, hoping that he is okay as he is a puppy.
"It landed in the junkyard.", I called out as the Gargoyles all flew over to the junkyard, and after landing, Goliath gently put me down. "Okay, Xanatos, where are you!?", I shouted out into the air.
"I'm right here.", I turned around, and I saw Xanatos wearing a armor of some sorts. "Glad to see that all of you are here.", Xanatos slyly grinned.
"What? You're not going to talk, and what's with those outfits?", Xanatos said, looking at all of us individually with piqued raised eyebrows. "Sooner or later, you'll know.", Hudson muttered.
"!su ta hgual dna daeha oG", Lexington growled. (Go ahead and laugh at us!). Goliath then sang,
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Xanatos stared at them for a while, and then he busted out laughing, "Oh my god, what did you do to yourselves? This is hilarious!". "It's not their fault! Sally's sick, and her sneezing did this to us.", Elisa said with a growl.
"Not helping.", I said, glaring at Elisa. "Sorry.", Elisa said, now realizing what she said, and she shrugged helplessly.
"What do you mean?", Xanatos asked with a suspicious stare. "Nothing, son of a bitch!", Elisa snarled.
"Oh, I've been wanting to know, Miss Leindres. How is it that you have magic?", Xanatos asked convincingly with a wicked smile. "Like I'll tell you!" I said with a snarl.
"Well, if you won't, then attack!", Xanatos ordered his robots who started flying at us. I threw energy beams at the robots, and I could see Goliath and the others taking down a few robots, but there was a problem. Goliath tried to tell his clan what to do, but all that came out of his mouth was singing.
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
"!htailoG ,uoy dnatsrednu t'nac I ?tahW", Lexington called out. (What? I can't understand you, Goliath!) "Through that row of cars? Okay!", Hudson shouted as he nodded. But, soon, Broadway and Hudson crashed into each other.
"Oh, crap.", Elisa said with a groan and wince at the crash. I then saw Goliath and Lexington arguing with each other, obviously not understanding what each of them are saying to each other.
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
"!?gniyas uoy era lleh eht tahW ?yaw taht ton ,oN". (No, not that way? What the hell are you saying?!)
In the circle
The circle of life
"!?og ot em tnaw uoy od kcuf eht erehW ?elcric a ni oG". (Go in a circle? Where the fuck do you want to go?!)
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
"OKAY, STOP IT, YOU TWO! You have to focus right now!", I shouted at them angrily with the roar of a Gargoyle that I didn't expect to come out of me, barely recognizing that Goliath is now singing a new song.
The two then stopped arguing, and they kept fighting the robots. I saw a robot grab Goliath and throw him, and I saw that he was heading for some spikes. I gasped in horror, but then I sneezed, and I saw that I had turned the spikes into a mattress. To my relief, Goliath landed softly, and I sighed heavily.
"Okay, now your sneezing is a bit helpful.", Elisa said with a grin, and she saw a robot heading towards her. She ran to hide, and I ran after the robot who was searching for Elisa. "Hey, looking for me!?", Elisa shouted, and I saw Elisa on top of some old cars.
"Now, Sally!" Elisa shouted to me, and I then made one of the cars fall on the robot which made it explode as I then used my telekinesis to get Elisa down.
