"You said that destroying my brother is the only way to survive. ls that all there is for us? Mere survival? Isn't that enough?" Coldstone asked with a stare at Demona, then glanced at Goliath softly.
"No. Gargoyles protect. It is our nature, our purpose. To lose that is to be corrupt, empty lifeless." Goliath said. "And what do you protect?", Coldstone asked quietly, wanting to complement something.
"Enough of this!", Demona roared as she fired her blaster at Goliath, but Coldstone stood in his way, and got hit instead as the blast sent him flying to the water. "NO!", Blaze shouted as he jumped into the water.
"Blaze, don't!" Goliath shouted in horror. I was about to run over when Demona stood in my way. "Get out of my way!", I shouted in frustration, but Demona kicked me. I fell to the ground, and then I saw Demona holding my necklace.
"My, my, what a lovely necklace. Wonder why you wear this.", smirked Demona as she held it close to her face. I gasped in horror. I couldn't let her use Draven's magic for evil! Seeing the blaster on the ground, I then felt Draven talk to me.
Sally, you know what you have to do. Draven said softly. I nodded as I know what i had to do. I have to destroy the necklace, and Draven's spirit will be free. I grabbed the gun, and I shot the necklace which let out a huge light.
"What?!" Demona shouted in shock. I then saw a blue energy mass fly towards me, and I jumped towards it. "Sally!", Goliath shouted in horror as I then felt Draven's spirit absorb itself into my body.
I screamed in pain as I floated in the air, and I saw that the entire bridge was now surrounded in the blue energy mass. I screamed in pain as I felt blue cracks appear in my face, and it was getting painful, but I knew I had to stay strong.
"Sally, hold on!", Draven shouted quickly. "What's going on?!", Xanatos shouted in shock.
"What's happening?!", Elisa called out. "I think Sally is absorbing Draven's spirit!", answered Lexington in awe.
"Is that possible?!", screamed Broadway in worry. "She is in freaking pain!", Brooklyn yelled out.
"Sally!", Morgan shouted in horror as Brooklyn was holding on to her. "NO!", Goliath roared in horror and fear. I still felt the energy mass absorb into my body as I saw Goliath try to approach me, but he was held back by the others.
I then felt the blue cracks disappear from my face as I realized I have fully bonded with Draven. I then saw a few robots heading towards my friends, and I then felt my eyes turning dark blue. I then knew Draven was in control as he disintegrated the robots, and Xanatos and Demona were now looking shocked.
"Leave now!", Draven roared angrily as he used a spell to send the two flying. After that, the blue energy mass around the bridge disappeared, and I then felt myself fall to the ground. I saw Goliath run towards me, catching me in his arms.
"Please, Sally, don't leave me. I love you.", Goliath whispered softly as he stroked my cheek tenderly as his eyes are full of worried love. I smiled weakly as I blacked out.
I woke up, and I saw that I was in the clock tower, and Elisa and Morgan were sitting beside me. I moaned lightly as I scuffled among the couch fabric. "Sally!", They both shouted as they hugged me.
"We were so worried! You have been asleep since yesterday!", Morgan said, sobbing lightly. "I've been out that long!?", I said, widening my eyes in shock.
"Yep.", Elisa said with a nod, and I then saw Goliath and the others. "Sally!", Goliath shouted relief as he ran over to me, and hugged me gently, lifting me slightly in his arms as I still laid upon the couch.
"I'm so glad you're okay!", Goliath said, rumbling softly with quiet sobs as he nuzzled into the area between my neck and shoulder. "How do you feel?", Hudson asked quietly as I looked out besides Goliath.
"I feel different.", I said with a tired sigh. "Sally, what happened to Draven after you destroyed the necklace?", Broadway asked in confusion and worry.
"He is now a part of me.", I said with a smile as I felt a familiar energy inside me. "What do you mean?", Brooklyn asked in shock.
"All that blue mass you saw, it was Draven's spirit absorbing himself into me.", I said with a smile as Goliath lifted me up into his lap, still holding me as he played with my hair. I knew that Goliath is still reeling in the fact that I survived such a ordeal.
"Wait, what does that mean?", Lexington asked, gesturing with a hand. "It means Draven is now bonded with me.", I said with a weak smile.
"He's a part of you now?", Goliath asked in shock as he looked at me, and then Draven appeared. "I had to protect myself from Demona.", Draven spoke softly.
"That's why you had Sally destroy the necklace.", Elisa said with a understanding expression. "Correct. We couldn't let Demona use my magic for evil.", Draven said with a smile.
"Hey, where's Blaze and Coldstone?", I asked, looking around as I didn't see Blaze or Coldstone anywhere. "Coldstone is gone, and Blaze left.", Goliath said with a soft sad sigh.
"Again!? But he just came back!", I said in shock and devastation. "I know..but it seems that he still is haunted by his past, and he didn't want to bother us for some reason.", Goliath replied quietly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Goliath. It would seem that due to his past, Blaze prefers to be alone.", I said to him, kissing him softly on the cheek, trying to comfort him, and he smiled weakly, appreciating the gesture and my words.
We all then were staring at the city, thinking about what a day it is. The necklace was destroyed, and Draven was now a part of me, and also Blaze left again. I hope he comes back soon, and I also hope we can find Coldstone as well.
-During the trip home to the clock tower-
After I couldn't find my uncle's body, I told Uncle Goliath that I would be leaving as I watched him carry a unconscious Sally in his arms.
Everyone told me about what happened to Sally. I was both concerned yet impressed. I was concerned about her as Uncle Goliath loves her so much, much more than he did in Demona's case, and I was also impressed that she survived such a ordeal like that.
"What! You're leaving again! But you just came back!", Brooklyn said in shock as he carried in his arms, Morgan, who is Sally's sister.
"Brooklyn's right.", Elisa said as she was carried in Broadway's arms, glancing at me with this strange look of sadness and something else I couldn't decipher. We then landed upon the balcony, coming into the clock tower room.
"Yeah, you just got here!", Broadway said as he let Elisa down. "I didn't even get to talk with you, Blaze.", Hudson said with a frown. Bronx whined, and I then petted him.
"We didn't even get to spent time together.", Lexington said, looking sad. Uncle Goliath gently laid Sally down upon the couch, and after a tender kiss, he turned around to face me.
"I thought you were to stay with us for a while, Little Shadow.", Uncle Goliath spoke softly. "I'm sorry, Uncle. I was only coming to see if everything was alright.". I said with a sigh and a look toward Sally.
"Well, I'm glad you did as you saved Elisa's life.", Uncle Goliath said to me, smiling softly, and I looked over at Elisa who gave me a grateful nod. I turned my head around to face Uncle Goliath.
"I hope your human mate is okay, Uncle.", I said with a nod. "I hope so.", Uncle Goliath said with a sigh as he briefly glanced at Sally with love and worry.
"I can't believe Demona tried to kill you again after I threatened her.", I growled lightly. "You know how Demona is.",Uncle Goliath said with a heavy sigh.
"She is an uncaring Gargoyle who only cares about herself.", I snarled lowly. Uncle Goliath looked at me, "Perhaps she is. But now, you will promise that you'll come back soon?".
"I'll try to visit again.", I said with a reassuring smile. My family then hugged me. "Be safe, Little Shadow.", Uncle Goliath said as he hugged me warmly, and I then walked over to the window.
"I will, Uncle, and don't worry, we will meet again! ", I said with a nod and grin as I started gliding. After a while, I landed on a roof. I then started thinking about my Uncle Coldstone as I'm glad that I got to see him again, but now, he is a cyborg, thanks to Demona and Xanatos.
"Don't worry, Uncle. Whatever it takes, I will find you.", I said out loud to myself as I then glided through New York. As I was gliding, I started thinking about the times I spent with my Uncle Coldstone.
I remembered how he would play with me, and babysit me. He and his mate were expecting a child, but the eggs in the rookery were gone after the vikings attacked. "I'm going to end the hunters once, and for all!", I growled in anger as I was gliding.
I was going to make sure that the hunters wouldn't bring more harm to any other Gargoyles and my family, like they did to me. "I know that my brother and sister would be disappointed in me, but I have to do this.", I said to myself.
I then knew where the next hunter on my list would be, and I headed off in a direction. I briefly glanced back at the area where I knew where the clock tower was, and I nodded lightly.
"I'll come back, Uncle.", I said softly, turning back to focus on the winds underneath my wings.
Before I went back home, Draven used a spell to erase everyone's memories of Coldstone, and I then unfroze everyone. I went back to my apartment, and I still felt a little tired as it's due to my body having absorbed Draven's spirit, but at least, I didn't have to worry about the necklace now as it's now destroyed.
"Sally, you okay?", Draven asked me gently in concern as he appeared before me. "I'm still tired.", I said with a exhausted smile.
"You might need to rest, Sally.", Draven said, scolding me gently with a wise smile. "Draven, I have been meaning to ask. How come my magic is much more stronger? I mean, I totally disintegrated those robots to dust.", I said with confusion and awe.
"Since you and I share the same body now, my magic powers are now combined with yours, making them ten times more powerful.", Draven said with a thoughtful look. "More powerful?", I asked in amazement, widening my eyes at him.
"So powerful that even Oberon or Tiranía wouldn't dare challenge me.", Draven said with a grin. "That's awesome! Do you think that Coldstone might still be alive?", I asked in wonder.
"It's hard to say, Sally.", Draven told me with a shrug and a frown. I sighed heavily as I really wanted Goliath to be happy with Blaze and Coldstone, but with them disappearing on us, it doesn't seem possible now.
"Come on, Sally. It's time for you to rest.", Draven told me, gesturing for me to get some sleep. I then walked to the bedroom, and I then laid on my bed as I slowly closed my eyes. I hardy heard Draven bid me good night.
