AN: I have made a world map for my fanfic. The map does contain spoilers for what worlds are going to show up (since only 4 out of 14 have appeared so far) so it does contain spoilers. If you're interested, the link will be posted on my profile.

Goliath and Sora glided over to the oil rig that the boat they had spotted went to. Goliath took them down to a perch where they could not be seen by the people. The two peered over to see two men down below. One of them had long brown hair stylized in a ponytail and a villainous looking goatee. He wore a trench coat and was carrying a briefcase of some sort. The other man had ginger colored hair stylized in a flat top and wore a blue windbreaker.

"Who are they?" Sora whispered to Goliath.

"The man with the briefcase is Xanatos," Goliath whispered back, "The other man is Doctor Sevarius, one of his minions."

Sora looked back down at the men. Sevarius was opening the briefcase that Xanatos was carrying. Inside, the case was filled with money. It looked to Sora like there was a million dollars in there. Suddenly, Xanatos grabbed the collar of Sevarius's shirt and hoisted him up by it. There was a fury in Xanatos's eyes while Sevarius's face showed surprise.

"Come," Goliath said, "We will leave those two to their business transaction. I think I heard something coming from inside this room."

Goliath gestured to a door behind them. Sora nodded and summoned his Keyblade. Firing a beam of light into the door's keyhole, Sora unlocked the door. Goliath walked in with Sora right behind them. What was inside took both of them by surprise. Chained to the wall was a Gargoyle who looked like Goliath but had pitch black skin, snow white hair, and blood red eyes.

"Goliath," the creature said, "I am Thailog."

Goliath looked stunned.

"What kind of abomination are you?" Goliath roared. Thailog growled.

"The same kind as you," Thailog hissed back, obviously offended.

"Oh my gosh!" Sora said gasping, "He's a clone! Goliath, they grew him from a piece of you."

"A piece of me? This thing IS me!" Goliath roared, spreading his wings, "First Xanatos steals my home and now he pieces out my SOUL!"

"Look, you have every right to be mad, but no right to take it out on Thailog," Sora said to Goliath, "Who cares how he came into existence? Now he's as much a Gargoyle as you are. In a way, he's sort of your son."

Goliath growled, "You're right of course. I will set him free."

The sound of a gun shot went off and Goliath roared in pain. He pull a sedative dart out of his back and moaned as he collapsed.

"That won't be necessary," Thailog said, "the shackles weren't locked."

He then turned to Sora. "And for the record, I'm more of a Gargoyle than he'll ever be."

Thailog approached Sora cackling that bone-chilling laugh. The next thing Sora knew, everything went black. When Sora came to, he was chained to the wall next to Goliath, Xanatos, and Sevarius.

"I'm impressed, Thailog," Xanatos said, "You played Sevarius like a harp and had me completely fooled into thinking that you'd been kidnapped by him. But if money was the bottom line, why didn't you just ask? We could have worked out an agreement."

"Maybe on your terms," Thailog said, "But not on mine. Did you really expect me to live out my life as your stooge and the doctor's private guinea pig? You two didn't go to all this trouble just to raise a fool."

"Typical," Sevarius spat, "You do and do and do for them, and what happens? They twist a knife in you!"

Thailog growled and grabbed Sevarius by the throat, "Don't tempt me." Thailog turned and walk towards the door holding Xanatos's briefcase.

"Time to go," Thailog said, "I have plans of my own and twenty million dollars to see them through."

Thailog cackled his spine chilling laugh again.

"Thailog, don't go down that path," Goliath said, appearing to be waking up, "Money is a necessary evil in Xanatos's world, not ours. Join my clan. Join YOUR clan."

Thailog scoffed, "And waste my nights playing guardian angel to a decrepit city filled with inferior humans? Where is the profit in that?"

"Life for a Gargoyle isn't about profit. It's about protecting those that you care about," Goliath replied.

"I considered caring about you," Thailog replied, "It took some effort but I arranged for you to join this party so that I could share the money with you. However, you've disappointed me so I've decided to hate you as well."

Thailog turned away from Goliath and walked right up to Sora.

"It's a shame about you, my boy," Thailog said, "I'm afraid you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time."

"I have a habit of that," Sora said turning away from Thailog's horrible red eyes.

"A shame?" Sevarius said frightened, "What does he mean by that?"

"He intends for us to die, doctor," Xanatos replied.

"Exactly," Thailog added, "This rig is not as empty as it looks. On my way out, I'm going to light this whole rig up as my three fathers go down in flames."

Thailog let out another of his frightening laughs.

"N-now what?" Sevarius asked, obviously frightened.

Sora squirmed his hands around and was able to slide right out of his hand cuffs.

"Now I get us out of here," Sora said.

"And how do you intend to do THAT?" Sevarius asked.

Sora summoned up his keyblade, much to the shock of Xanatos and Sevarius. He then unlocked Goliath, Xanatos, and Sevarius's shackles.

"Just like that," Sora said to Sevarius.

Thailog's fathers and Sora left their would-be tomb to find that the oil rig had been coated with oil by Thailog.

"The boat that I used to get out here is this way," Xanatos said, leading the way.

"Go with them Sora," Goliath said, " I must face Thailog."

"I can't let you face him alone!" Sora said, "I'm helping you whether you want me to or not."

Goliath nodded and the two of them headed for the upper decks. Xanatos and Sevarius shrugged and hopped in their boat and sailed off.
