Ch.14: Brooklyn's Sacrifice

There was no doubt on how powrful Rage was now. On the street Eliza Maza and other spectator's eyes were glued to the sky. Eliza, knowing that her gargoyle friends were in trouble ran to the police station as fast as she could.

" Chief" said Eliza " the gargoyles need our help battling a gaint beast. I need every helicopter ready and loaded A.S.A.P,"

The Chief didn't hestitate for one second and soon everything Eliza had ordered to be done was ready to go. Eliza climbed on board one of the helicopters and ordered the troops into the sky.

" Goliath" Lexington said when he saw the police copters " the police are coming,"

" They won't be a match againist Rage for long" said Goliath " we must find a way to quell this Fury,"

" I'll stop him," Brooklyn volunteered.

" Are you crazy?" said Broadway " you'll be killed,"

" And if I die what difference will it make?" said Brooklyn angrily then turned to his leader " please Goliath, he's my dark side, I'm the only who can beat him at his own game,"

Goliath looked at Brooklyn and recgonized the hard determination burning in the red brick gargoyles eyes. The eyes of a leader who was ready to do everything it took to save the lives of many.

" Very well" Goliath consented " we'll do everything we can to help in the process,"

Soon Goliath, Hudson, Broadway, Lexington and Angela flew off in order to help the police. Demona however stayed by Brooklyn's side.

" I'm part of the reason all this happened" said Demona " you'll need my help to defeat Fury,"

" Alright then" said Brooklyn accepting Demona's offer " let's bring him down,"

-------------------------------------------

" Pitiful humans" said Rage, now called Fury, as he watched the police copters approach with thier gargoyle allies flying beside them " do they really think they stand a chance?"

" Fire!" Eliza shouted to the sky armada. Seconds later the air was blasted with a hail storm of bullets flying directly at Fury.

The crimson gargoyle held up one of his crimson claws to shield the bullets. Amazing the bullets bounced off his skin and were aiming back striaght at the cops. Thousands of the tiny metal missles ripped through the metal skin of the helicopters. Some even hitting the egnine making the whirlybirds explode in midair. Eliza's own helicopter barely made it out of the firing range.

" Bullets aren't working, we'll have to go to plan B" said Eliza " Goliath! You think you guys can handle him while we prepare our secret weapon?"

" We'll do our best," said Goliath and with a wave of his hand Goliath and his troops charged towards Fury.

Brooklyn and Demona watched as Goliah and the others charged Fury. The crimson gargoyle did not seem to be intimidated as he easily swiped up Angela and Goliath in his gaint claws.

"My turn," said Brooklyn and charged at Fury with Demona soaring behind him.

" You've come to late Brooklyn" said Fury, noticing his good counterpart " for I now hold both your leader and desire in my claws. And just like Thailog their life energy will be enternally bonded to me, resulting in thier demise,"

"We'll see about that" said Brooklyn " everyone join claws now!"

Without hesitation Demona, Broadway, Hudson, and Lexington joined hands with Brooklyn forming a small circle.

" If Rage can use energy so can I" said Brooklyn " I need your trust. Give me your stretntch and I can defeat Rage,"

" I trust you lad," said Hudson, his body suddenly surrounded by a white aura.

"We all trust you," said Goliath from Fury's claw, a white aura surrounded him as well.

Soon every gargoyle was surrounded by a glowing white aura. Brooklyn closed his eyes as the white auras surrounding his friends came to him, and slowly drank them in. Eliza who was still watching from the copter marveled at this amazing sight.

With the help of the other gargoyles energy Brooklyn grew to be the same size as Rage/Fury. Fury imediately released Angela and Demona to wrestle now bigger counterpart. Eliza and Goliath's clan had to be careful not get hit by the gaint gargoyles claws, tails, or wings as the two gaints grappled.

Things looked pretty even to start with, but then Rage/Fury started gaining the upper hand. with a gaint shove Rage pushed Brooklyn back. While Brooklyn was unbalanced by the force of the shove Fury's claws sliced at his stomach. It rained blood onto the streets below.

Brooklyn was hunched over in pain, his hand unconiously moving to cover the wound Fury had created. All of Manhatten held thier breath as Rage/ Fury raised his claw ready to strike the final blow.

" Any last words Brooklyn?" asked Rage.

" Just this," said Brooklyn, and without warning he struck his claws right through Rage's body making the crimson gargoyle gasp in pain.

The fire in Rage's eyes grew cold as Brooklyn detracted his now bloody arms. Both gargoyles gradually shrunk, glared at each other for a moment, and then plumeted to thier deaths.

Rage's body disentagraded back into Brooklyn's body putting balance once again into the world of Yin and Yang. Before Brooklyn's body reached the Earth he was saved by the claws who once belonged to that of an enmey, Demona.

Soon all the gargoyles plus Eliza gathered in the Clock Tower looking over the bloody remians of one their dearest friends. No one could count how many tears fell during that short time.

" He's gone isn't he?" Angela asked her father.

" I'm afriad so," said Goliath.

Demona stood some distance away from the from the others holding a vail in one of her claws. The same vail that she had gotten at Nightstone Industries and had prayed never to use. but now it seemed that she had no choice.

" I may be able to help" said Demona showing the others the vial " inject this into his body quickly, there is no time to explian,"

Eliza quickly followed orders and injected the strange fliud into Brooklyn's system. Moments later something miraclous happened, Brooklyn's mortally inflicted wound began to heal, and soon the red brick gargoyle was fully restored to life making everyone rise up and cheer. All that is except Demona.

" Demona what's wrong?" asked Eliza.

" In order to save Brooklyn's life I had to give him some of my blood" said Demona " and also my curse. Brooklyn is now immortal, and with the rise of the dawn he shall become like any other human,"

" You mean Brooklyn's half human now?" said Broadway " and he can't die?"

" It was a noble price to pay in order to save a life" said Hudson turning to Brooklyn " but what think you lad?"

"Well" said Brooklyn walking over to Demona " I think that if I'm going to live forever, it's a good thing that I'll always have a friend flying by my side,"

And with the others watching in shock Brooklyn and Demona kissed. Changing the two enemies into mates.

The End
