Chapter Eight-Two: A tour of the city!
After getting sleep and something to eat Jason and Max searched the city only to find Unversed and no leads to the keyhole and retuned back to the top of the castle where the sun was beginning to set and they waited for the gargoyles to awaken as the sun soon vanished and the gargoyles began to crack before each shattered from their shells and roared.
"Good evening!" Jason said as Brooklyn looked over the edge and Goliath jumped down.
"Where do you think you going?" Goliath asked.
"To explore the city, after all we can't spend the rest of our lives in the castle" Brooklyn said.
"He's right if we're going to live here we got to know all about this city, it's people, it's device" Lexington said.
"It's food" Broadway said.
"Oh very well, the three of you may explore but stay close to the building and stay out of sight" Goliath warned.
"Uh if I may Goliath those three will not learn anything if they have to avoid the humans so Max can you join them? And to make sure they don't repeat the kitchen incident" Jason said.
"Yeah I'm cool with that" Max said.
"A wise suggestion, Max educate them if you will" Goliath said.
"I sure will" Max said getting on Broadway back as they glided down to the city bellow.
"Why do I get the feeling this is not going to end well?" Jason sighed.
Later Elisa opened the door to the roof of the building Goliath said to meet her at as she closed the door behind her and looked around.
"Hello? Anyone there?" Elisa called as she saw Goliath standing in the corner and Jason peeked out from behind him.
"Hey Elisa" Jason waved.
"Ah there you are, why were you hiding back there?" Elisa asked.
"I wanted to make sure you were alone" Goliath said.
"Ha ha, not to worry you look like you could handle a whole swat team" she said as Hudson jumped down and she gasped and spun around to see him.
"What are you doing here?" Goliath asked.
"Just making certain you weren't being ambushed" Hudson said.
"You guys are even paranoid than New York" she said.
"New York?" Jason repeated as he glanced around, 'OH! This must be a parallel word to the one I met Bernard and Bianca at, I guess it's possible.'
"Are you coming on the 'tour'? What do I call you anyway?" Elisa asked.
"Must you humans name everything? Nothing real to you till you named it, giving it limits" Hudson said.
"It's not like that it's just that...well uh things need names" she said.
"Dose sky need a name? Dose the river?" he said pointing to one nearby.
"That's called the Hudson" she said.
"Ah fine las! The I will be the Hudson as well."
"Great Hudson it is" she said.
"Good I was getting tired of calling you 'old gargoyle' just to talk to you" Jason said.
"I don't know how I'm gonna keep people from noticing you" she said.
"Simple, we'll stay on the roof tops" Goliath said.
"Easy for you with those wings but what about me?" Elisa said as Goliath picked her up and she gasped, "well...that answers that question" she smiled as Goliath smiled back as they noticed Hudson bored expression and Jason smirk.
"Uh ahem let's be off, coming Hudson?" Goliath said.
"I think not, this new world is too big, too bright and too loud! Now that I know you're alright I'll return to guard the castle" Hudson said gliding off.
"I'll stick around" Jason said.
"Well looks like it's just the three of us, what do you want to see?" Elisa asked.
"The dangers that threaten me and my kind" Goliath said.
"Lighten up will you your starting to bring me down and I'm a cop" she said as Goliath jumped off the building and Jason rode on his glider as they moved across the city and after flying for a while they landed on the Empire State Building.
"What do you think so far?" Elisa asked.
"Such amazing changes man made in the world while we slept, stone streets finer than those the Romans built, towers of glass and iron."
"Yeah you get used to it but I guess it's pretty impressive to an...out of Towner" Elisa said.
"I see no walls to guard this city how do you protect it from invaders?" Goliath asked.
"Well our biggest worries out from outside they're from inside" Elisa said.
"That I'm all too familiar with" Goliath said.
Later!
Goliath Jason and Elisa saw a gang of thugs about to mug a man as Goliath and Jason flew above and moved into the dark alley as one of them looked over.
"Are you boys late for your four eight clubs meeting?" Elisa said stepping out of the alley.
"Man this keeps getting better" a man said with chains in his hands.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Jason said stepping out with one of his keyblades resting on his shoulder as Elisa pulled out her badge.
"Police" she said.
"Police huh? Yeah were very impressed" a bald man with a crowbar said.
"I'm warning you guys" Elisa smirked as they laughed, have it your way" she said stepping into the darkness with Jason as Goliath roared and the men screamed.
"It's a monster!"
"Trash it!" the bald man said swinging his bar as Goliath caught it and yanked it from his hand before grabbing his shirt and throwing him into a dumpster.
"Come here" Jason smirked grabbing a man and several whacks of his keyblades was heard as the man hit the ground and Jason spun his keyblades in his hand.
"Stay back! Run!" the man with the broke down car yelled as he and his wife ran away.
"Human gratitude?" Goliath asked.
"Yes, you know Goliath you may be the best thing to happen to this city in a long time" Elisa said walking out of the alley.
"She right you know, I can see you heart is good and these people need protection from their own kind" Jason said.
Meanwhile!
"I've never seen so many wonders" Broadway said as they looked down from a roof.
"Yep and this is only the first stop on our tour!" Mas said as they hear a motorcycle.
"Look" Lexington said pointing to the man riding down the road on his motorcycle.
"Oh that's a motorcycle, most human ride those uh four round wheel uh chariots called cars but some ride these smaller two wheel vehicles" Max said.
"I got to see how it works" Lexington said gliding down.
"Wait!" Brooklyn said.
"Get back here!" Max hissed as Lexington glided behind the motorcycle watching the man.
"What a beautiful device" Lexington said as the man saw him and gasped before he began to wobble then crash and hit the road as his motorcycle skid on the road before stopping.
"Oh! I need a name for him so I can yell at him!" Max said as Lexington landed next to the bike as the man ran in fear.
"Wait come back!" Lexington said as the others landed as Max got off Broadway back.
"Uh Green gargoyle! Your not supposed to be seen!" Max said.
"Yeah Golaith said not to let anybody see us" Brooklyn said.
"I didn't mean to let him see me I just wanted to look at his machine" Lexington said.
"Motorcycle" Max corrected as Lexington stood it up and got on it.
"Be careful" Broadway said.
"Yeah those things are not easy to drive as it looks, you need to kee it balanced" Max said.
"Looks easy enough" Lexington said revving the motorcycle as Max sighed.
"Next time Jason babysitting you three" Max sighed as Lexington took off fast down the road as it stood up on one wheel and Lexington tried to hold onto the handle.
"Release the gas! Hit the break!" Max yelled as he and the others ran after him as Lexington jumped off and the motorcycle hit a wall and exploded.
"Smooth!" Max said
"Maybe we better not tell Goliath about this" Brooklyn said.
"You think?!" Max said.
Meanwhile!
Goliath, Jason and Elisa walking in the park.
"Were probably the only group in the park that doesn't have to worry about muggers" Elisa said.
"This world just as savage as the one I remember" Goliath said.
"Your judging it the way humans have judged you, I mean sure the city shows an ugly face sometimes but there's more to it, there's beauty here, moms that sing to their kids the way my mom used to" Elisa said as Golaith growled.
"Hmm?" Jason said sensing something.
"Goliath what is it?" Elisa asked as someone shot a tranquillizer dart and it hit Goliath arm as he roared.
"Goliath!" Jason said as a dart hit his arm, "GAH!" Jason growled as he pulled it out and his vision began to blur as he saw all the soldiers that began to surrounded them as the kicked Elisa gun from her hand and took her captive.
"Must...stay...awake" Jason said before collapsing on the ground with Goliath.
"What do you want?!" Elisa growled.
"Just tying up loose ends" a man said pulling out a gun.
