Week of December 5 - Secret Diary #2
4 days have passed since I was cured from my sickness, and I would still smile, thinking about it, but now, I have enough herbs to make sure that I don't get sick again.
Anyway, I was out in the park, and I was playing in the snow. I had just visited Goliath, and he was looking a bit sad, probably due to Blaze. It has been nearly a week since he left, and we haven't heard from him since.
I sighed deeply as I was making a snowman, and I then talked to Draven. Draven, have you been able to sense if Blaze is still in New York? I asked in wonder. I'm afraid not, Sally. Draven said, sounding a bit sad.
Well, let's hope that he didn't lie to us, and he left New York. I muttered, knowing that it would break Goliath's heart, and I then felt my walkie talkie go off. "Hello, what is it?", I asked hastily.
"Miss Leindres, there's is a creature attacking people downtown! Elisa and Matt are already heading there.", spoke the cop. "I'm on my way.", I said, knowing that it might be a Gargoyle, so I would use a spell to freeze the people, and then Draven will use a spell to erase their memory.
I then glowed a blue aura, and I started flying. Soon enough, I saw a bus having been crashed on its side, and I saw a lot of people. I then used a spell to freeze everyone (Except for Elisa) in place, and I then landed next to Elisa.
"Sally! Thank goodness you're here, what happened to everyone?", Elisa asked with a relieved grin, and a raised eyebrow. "I used a spell to freeze everyone so, that way they won't notice our Gargoyle friends, and then Draven will use a spell to erase their memory.", I said with a smirk.
"Great idea.", Elisa chuckled with a smile. "Now, let's go see who is doing this.", I said as we ran over to see water everywhere.
"Police! Freeze! You're under arrest!" Elisa shouted, and the creature then picked up a car. I widened my eyes in horror as I realized that it was going to throw it at us! I then saw Goliath tackle the creature, but the car was heading for us, and we were able to get out of the way.
"You okay?", I asked, placing a hand upon Elisa's back as I leaned down to check on her. "I'm alright.", Elisa said as she got up with a nod. I then turned around to see the creature throw Goliath, and he then hit a bus, and I ran over to his side.
"Goliath, are you okay?", I asked in worry as I touched his arm, looking him over. "I'm okay.", Goliath rumbled with a light growl as he shook his head lightly to shake off the shock of the hit.
"What is that?", Elisa asked in shock and fear, and we then saw the creature walk forward into the light and...it was a Gargoyle! But he had cybernetics. Was he some kind of Cyborg?
Draven, who is he? Is he a Gargoyle or a robot? I asked quickly. He's a robot in body, but Gargoyle in mind. I have a bad feeling about his origins. Draven spoke warily.
"It is an abomination." Goliath said in shock and horror. "Rookery brother? You betrayed us.", The cyborg Gargoyle said as he aimed a blaster at us, and Goliath was able to get me and Elisa away.
"What sorcery is this?", I heard the Gargoyle ask in confusion, and then Goliath started fighting the cyborg Gargoyle. "Goliath!", I shouted in dismay, reaching for him, but Elisa stopped me, pulling me back.
"Come on, we need to stay back.", Elisa told me hastily. "I know you from long ago.", Goliath growled in surprise.
"You are my brother." Goliath replied softly. "And you are my betrayer.", The cyborg Gargoyle said with a snarl as he threw Goliath to the side, and he then started firing at him. Goliath was able to dodge his attacks, but then some rocks fell on top of him.
"Goliath!", I shouted in horror as I then saw the cyborg Gargoyle pick him up. "Now you will pay for destroying me and our clan." The cyborg Gargoyle growled angrily. I've had enough! "Put him down!", I shouted in anger as I threw a energy beam at the cyborg Gargoyle, and it made him crash into a wall.
I saw Brooklyn, Lexington, and Broadway come outside the theater as I ran to Goliath, and so did the others. "Goliath, are you okay?", I asked in worry as I held his side up with his arm draped over me, with Brooklyn helping from the other side.
"I'll survive, but he somehow became so strong than I remember.", Goliath rumbled softly. "Goliath, what is that thing?", Brooklyn asked in shock as Morgan joined him.
"It is one of us, or used to be.", Goliath said, staring at the cyborg Gargoyle in horror and sadness. "More Traitors! You will all pay.", the cyborg Gargoyle said with a loud snarl.
"Why are you attacking us?", Goliath asked desperately. "You betrayed the clan. Destroyed it.", growled the cyborg Gargoyle.
"We were all betrayed.", Goliath said, shaking his head as he gestured to his clan. "And because of you, my Godson is gone!", The cyborg Gargoyle roared furiously.
"Brother, Little Shadow is alive! I just saw him a fortnight ago.", Goliath called out, coming closer. "Impossible! You are lying! You betrayed him as you have betrayed the clan!", the cyborg Gargoyle shook his head, growling in surprise and anger.
"Brother, please listen! You have been tricked. I saved my clan as I would never betray it!", Goliath pleaded desperately. "Too true.", We then saw Demona land on top of the roof along with Xanatos and his robots.
"You told him these lies. l lived for my clan!", Goliath shouted as he glared up at Demona, snarling. "And they died for you, smashed to dust by the humans you trusted.", Demona said with a snipped growl.
"I can't believe her!", Elisa said, shaking her head in frustration as she glanced at me, and I nodded in agreement. "We have each created our own clans now, Goliath. You have yours. And l have mine.", Demona said with a wicked smile.
"You have no clan. You don't know the meaning of the word.", Goliath said with a growl/snarl. "Destroy them, Coldstone.", Demona said to the cyborg called Coldstone.
"Let's not be hasty. I want them alive.", Xanatos said with a raised eyebrow. "Destroy them, and we will survive.", Demona said with a growl.
"Survive? Like this?", Coldstone said in horror as he beheld his appearance. "Appearances mean nothing. We are the true gargoyles. They have been corrupted by the humans.", Demona said with a sneer.
"There has been enough death. There are so few of us left, my brother." Goliath said with a hand out.
"I've had enough! Get those two humans!", Demona shouted, and two robots flew towards us. I got out of the way as one shot at me, and I then launched a powerful energy beam which destroyed the robot. I then saw Elisa trip. "Elisa!" i shouted in horror.
The robot was getting close to her, and then I saw a black blur grab Elisa, and get her out of the way. We all looked up to see that it was.. "Blaze!", Elisa shouted in joy and shock.
"You still need to be saved, Elisa? I thought you had gotten stronger the last time we saw each other.", Blaze said with a chuckle and a smirk as Elisa blushed lightly, batted his chest one time with a raised eyebrow.
"All right, Blaze!", Lexington cheered. "About time!", Broadway laughed in joy.
"Great to see that you're back, Blaze!", Brooklyn grinned with a chuckle. "Thank the spirits you're alright, Blaze!", Goliath exhaled with a smile.
"Who is he?", Xanatos asked in surprise. "Little Shadow.", Demona responded with a growl.
"L..Little S..Shadow?", Coldstone gasped in shock. Blaze then saw Coldstone, and his eyes widened.
"Uncle?", Blaze asked in surprise. "You're alive!", Coldstone called out in shock. Blaze couldn't reply as more robots were firing at him, forcing him to glide with Elisa in his arms.
"Where are they going?", asked Coldstone in bewilderment. "Let's go help them.", I said in determination as I glowed blue, floating upwards. Goliath leaped into a upside down car, and jumped to glide upwards alongside me, "I have a plan.".
I was in Blaze's arms as he was flying away from the robots who were chasing us.
"I'm glad you're back.", I said to Blaze with a relieved grin. "Thanks.", Blaze said with a smile.
"Where were you, Blaze?", I asked airily. "I kinda went out of town for a bit.", Blaze said with a sheepish shrug.
"You promised Goliath that you wouldn't leave.", I said to him with a soft glare. Blaze just shrugged. "He was sad for the next couple days after you left.", I said to him softly.
"Sorry.", Blaze said with a sigh as he then saw a bridge, and he then landed on the bridge. "Elisa, tell me. Who was that Gargoyle?", Blaze asked in curiosity.
"Demona calls him Coldstone.", I said in thought. "He looks like my second godfather.", Blaze said, musing out loud.
"You have two Godfathers?", I asked in shock. "I did. My second godfather would look after me and play with me.", Blaze said with a nod, and we then saw a robot heading for us. Then a energy beam came out of nowhere, and destroyed it.
"Sally!", I shouted in relief as I saw Sally flying alongside Goliath. "You okay?", she shouted back to me. "We're fine.", I said as she got closer, and the rest of the clan arrived as they all started fighting the robots.
I was on the bridge, firing energy beams at the robots, and I then heard a yell. I saw what looks like Goliath and Coldstone falling, and I then ran over to see them fall into the water.
"Goliath!", I shouted, terrified as I ran to the railing. Brooklyn and Lexington grabbed my arms to stop me from jumping in the water, and I then saw Blaze jump into the water.
"Blaze!", Elisa shouted in horror. We were staring down at the water, and then we saw Blaze and Coldstone come out of the water holding Goliath. They landed on the bridge, and I ran to Goliath's side as he coughed out water.
"Goliath!", I shouted in relief, hugging him. "He's ok.", Brooklyn said, exhaling in relief. "But you're not." we heard Demona say, and we then turned around to see her with a blaster in her hand.
"Thank you so much for saving Goliath for me.", Demona grinned wickedly, but then Blaze stepped in front of us. "I thought I told you to leave my family alone!", Blaze snarled angrily.
"Are you crazy? They took you from me!", snarled Demona. "Bitch! You don't care about anyone, but yourself!", Blaze shouted with a heated glare at her.
"Little Shadow?", Coldstone asked softly as he stared at Blaze. He turned around to look at Coldstone, and a look crossed his face. "Uncle, is it really you?", Blaze asked in awe.
"Yes.", Coldstone said with a nod, and then the two hugged heartrendingly. "Uncle, what happened to you?" Blaze asked in wonder and horror.
"I don't know, but tell me, Little Shadow. How is it that you're now grown up?", Coldstone asked in confusion. "A human family found him in 1966." Goliath said, speaking up to explain.
"What?! So it was the humans' fault that you were separated from us!", Demona shouted furiously. "No! They took me because they thought I was a ordinary statue at the time!", Blaze shouted, arguing back.
"But what if they have killed you once they saw you weren't a statue?!" Demona shouted in bewilderment. "They didn't! They accepted me the way I was, and they raised me as if I was part of their family!", Blaze shouted with pride in his eyes.
"You keep forgetting that humans have no place in any Gargoyle clan, Little Shadow. If I have known that you were awake at time in that year, I would have gone to take you away from those humans.", Demona said with growl.
"Don't talk about my foster family like that! I have enough problems trusting humans as my foster family were killed by hunters long ago!", Blaze shouted angrily, sounding insulted. "What?", Demona asked in shock.
"These hunters despised Gargoyles! They heard about me, and I was forced to watch my family be killed in front of me!", Blaze snarled. "What?", Coldstone asked in shock as I saw that he was horrified.
"What happened to you?", Demona whispered in horror. "I was only 13 years old at the time. I spent most of my time as I was depressed for a long time until I turned 19. My sadness turned to anger and rage, and I made sure that those hunters paid for what they did to my foster family!" Blaze snarled lowly.
"What do you mean?", Demona asked in fear. "Did you kill them?", Xanatos asked in horror.
"Why, Little Shadow?", Coldstone asked in confusion and curiosity. "I had to make them pay for what they did! I spent most of my time training, and practicing my aim as I had learned to use a gun to kill the hunters!" Blaze shouted.
"You...killed all of them?", Demona whispered in devastation yet wonder. "I was only able to kill most of them before I went back into a stone sleep in 1984.", Blaze said with a snort. Coldstone then looked pissed off.
"That's a good thing then.", Coldstone spoke softly. "How can you say that? It was the humans' fault that Little Shadow is like this!", Demona shouted with a growl.
"I thought I told you to call me Blaze!", Blaze shouted with a glare at her. "Little Shadow has grown up, and he had to do what he wanted, and you didn't see that, Demona.", Coldstone replied wisely.
"My uncle's right, and look at what you did to him!", Blaze said with a growl.
