"Brooklyn," Goliath said after the young Gargoyle explain the nightly occurrences, "Surely you must no that I am not in the habit of playing childish pranks or laughing maniacally."

"Do ye even know how to cackle maniacally?" asked Hudson, an elderly Gargoyle who had been sitting in a recliner watching television.

"Well anyways," Lexington, the young olive colored Gargoyle, said, "Goliath was with me on patrol all night. He couldn't have attacked you."

"Look," Brooklyn said, "We know what we saw and heard! And it was most definitely Goliath."

"I'm not so sure," Goofy said, obviously deep in thought.

Everybody turned to him.

"The thing that attacked our ship looked a lot like Goliath, except it's skin was black, it's hair was white, and it's eyes glowed red! And Goliath don't fit none of those categories," Goofy explained.

"Then what could it have been?" Broadway pondered out loud.

Goliath roared, "I don't know, but it is certain that Xanatos is behind all of this!"

"Wait," Sora interjected, "You guys have mentioned Xanatos before. Who is he?"

"Xanatos is our enemy!" Goliath shouted, "He is a devious man who seeks to control us for his own wicked ends and the one behind the appearance of the Heartless."

"Sounds like trouble," Donald squawked.

"Brooklyn, Lexington," Goliath spoke up. The two Gargoyles turned their attention to Goliath, "You two, Donald, and Goofy will go investigate Xanatos's labs. Broadway, Hudson – You both shall go out on patrol. Sora. You and I shall go to the scene of the attack to see if we can find this strange attacker."

Everyone nodded. Brooklyn and Lexington flew off with Donald and Goofy while Sora took off with Goliath.

"This is the place," Sora said when he spotted the scene of the attack.

Goliath landed on the rooftop and set Sora down. Looking around, Sora realized for the first time just how close the attack was to the sea. Sora looked out at the water and noticed something peculiar.

"Goliath, what's that?" Sora said pointing at what he saw.

"That is a human contraption called an oil rig," Goliath replied, "And it seems to be abandoned."

"Then I don't think THAT'S normal," Sora said pointing at a small boat sailing out to the rig.

"Indeed not," Goliath growled.

Brooklyn, Lexington, Donald, and Goofy arrived at a hospital like building with the words Gen-U Tech written in large letters on the side of the building. The four landed on the roof.

"This is Gen-U Tech," Brooklyn explained, "It's one of the companies that Xanatos owns. It specializes in making all sorts of genetic monsters thank to Doctor Sevarius."

"Sevarius?" Donald asked.

"He's what you might call a mad scientist," Lexington responded, "He created several mutate type creatures that were part human, part animal."

"We thought you guys were Mutates when we first saw you," Brooklyn added, "But your strange disposition implied that you two were always like this."

"H'yuck, yep," Goofy chuckled.

"C'mon," Brooklyn said, "Let's get in and get out."

The four crawled in through an air duct and arrived in a room that appeared to be an office. The four hopped down into the room once they were sure it was empty.

"Sevarius's office," Lexington stated.

Lexington turned on the computer on Sevarius's desk.

"What are you doing?" Donald asked Lexington.

"I'm searching for any information we can find on that thing that attacked you guys," Lexington replied, "Hmm, this looks promising."

Lexington clicked on a link entitled Thailog Project. A video began to play. Scenes of a laboratory setting as well as the creature that attacked the Gummi ship began to play.

"Hey!" Goofy shouted, "That's the thing that attacked us!"

"I am truly a genius!" a voice from the video that Donald and Goofy assumed belonged to Dr. Sevarius said, "I have succeeded in cloning a living Gargoyle. I chose Goliath as my specimen since he was obviously the strongest of the Gargoyles in New York. However, I ran into a slight conundrum: the heart. This metaphysical source of all feeling has long been beyond the reach and comprehension of science. However, my studies of the heart have allowed me to create a replica of one, using data from the heart of Mr. Xanatos."

The four gasped.

"The clone was a perfect replica of Goliath," the voice of Sevarius continued, "until the darkness of Mr. Xanatos's heart grew to be too much for the creature. It turned into a Heartless but somehow it retained it's physical form, mostly likely due to the fact that the creature's heart and body came from different sources. However there was one snag: while the body retained it's shaped, odd skin, hair, and eye pigmentation occurred, making it appear more Heartless-like."

The clip ended but all four of them were too stunned to say anything.
