Chapter Eighty-Four: Xanatos Secret
That night Jason flew towards the air fortress with Goliath and Demona as the powerful gusts of winds form the turbine began to push Goliath and Demona back.
"Grab on!" Jason yelled as they grabbed on his glider and her flew them directly underneath the airfortress as Goliath tore a hole open then crawled in then with Demona and Jason.
"The disk will be well guarded no doubt" Goliath said.
"If humans wish to throw away their worthless lives guarding it that's their concern" Demona said walking ahead in a harsh cold tone as Jason growled.
"In case you forgot 'lady' I am one of those humans too and don't judge all of us because one group ruined our name to your kind not all humans are bad" Jason said.
"I couldn't care less, this way" Demona said.
"Oh that woman!" Jason growled clenching his fist as he and Goliath followed her.
"Hold it right there" they heard a man say as they looked back to see two men pointing guns.
"You won't fire those guns in here you could damage the air ship" she said walking towards them with glowing red eyes.
"Don't be your life on it monster!"
"Too risky" Goliath whispered as Demona tackled one as the other man fire and Goliath pulled demona away as the bullets hit pipes filling the hall with steam.
"Sleep" Jason said whacking the last man with his keyblade.
"The gun fire may have alerted the others we better hurry" Goliath said as Demona picked up one of the unconscious men and held him towards the hole they left in the floor, "Wait! What are you doing?" Goliath said grabbing her wrist.
"What does it look like? I am making sure they don't cause us anymore trouble later" Demona said.
"No!" Goliath said.
"You can't do that!" Jason said.
"Killing in the heat of battle one thing but not like this!" Goliath said.
"The centuries have made you weak Goliath" she said tossing the man into a wall hard with a clang.
"Well he may have a concussion now!" Jason said as Demona walked ahead.
Meanwhile Max group reached the roof of the tower as they landed.
"The magic in this century is so...so..." Lexington said.
"Cool?" Brooklyn said.
"Exactly!" Lexington said.
"Now you guys are getting it, give me five dude" Max said holding out his hand.
"Give you what?" Broadway asked.
"What this word? Dude mean? Lexington asked.
"Never mind I will explain later, let's just get the stupid disk and go" Max sighed.
"We need a way in" Brooklyn said as they spotted a metal door.
"Well this looks handy" Max said as Broadway cracked his knuckles.
"No problem" Broadway said tearing off the door and tossed it into the bay below as the Gargoyle peeked down the ladder to see if the area was empty before they climbed down.
"Xanatos said it was four floors down" Brooklyn said.
"Okay we'll take the elevator" Max said about to hit the button as Brooklyn pulled open the doors, "...or we can climb down."
"This isn't like the elevators back at the castle" Broadway said.
"Hmm not enough room to glide down" Lexington said.
"Well we'll just us this rope here in the middle" Brooklyn said jumping and grabbing onto the rope and slide down.
"Remind me to ask Xanatos to hire you guys a teacher" Max said as they followed after Brooklyn.
"One, two, three, four" Brooklyn said stopping at their floor, "looks like this is it" he said jumping to the door to pry the doors open.
"This is easy, we'll have our disk and be back in time for supper" Broadway said as they got the door opened and heard gun clicks to see every man in the room had a gun pointed to them, "a late supper."
"Huh sorry wrong floor" Brooklyn chuckled nervously as the men began to fire and they climbed up the elevator and opened the doors on the third floor and crashed onto the ground as the alarm went off.
"Now what?" Lexington asked.
"I have a crazy suggestion" Max said.
Later Broadway fist brooked threw the floor and onto the roof of the next floor as the power was cut and they jumped into the lab as the lights came back on as the Gargoyles growled and Brooklyn grabbed a man.
"Where's the disk?" he asked with glowing eyes.
The man then pointd over to a computer as Lexington approached it.
"Let's see" Lexington said.
"Do not touch anything! The last thing I want is you to press the self-destruct button" Man said approaching.
Lexington then pressed on button as the disk came out and Max sighed.
"Got it!" Lexington said.
"You got lucky" Max said as the door opened with the men with guns as Brooklyn slammed it closed and tried to hold the door shut.
"I think it's time to go!" Brooklyn said.
"Broadway! That big box there, use it!" Max said as Broadway picked it up and threw it threw a window, "I was going to suggest we use it to hold the door but that works" he said getting on Broadway back as they flew out the window with gun fire shot after them.
"We did it!" Lexington said.
"Yeah! Let's get back to the castle!" Brooklyn said.
Meanwhile!
"Sections two and three have been breached! We've lost two thirds of the data!" a man said as Goliath kicked down the door to the lab.
"Wrong you lost it all" Demona said.
"Just hand over the stolen disk and no one get's hurt" Jason said as Goliath smacked his tail to the two guards then picked up the captain.
"You! What are you!?"
"Gargoyles" Jason said as Demona hit a button and got the disk.
"Mission accomplished!" she said before punching into the controls and pulled up an electric wire and stabbed it into the computer causing the alarm to go off and set fire to the computer.
"What did you do?!" Jason said.
"Hurry Goliath!" Demona said leaving the room.
"What have you done" Goliath said as smoked filled the room and they coughed.
"Come on! We have to get out of here" Demona said kicking open a hatch.
"No! We can't just leave them here!" Goliath said as the men tried to put out the fire as the air ship began to tilt.
"Let's go now!" Demona said pulling his arm an out into the sky as Jason summoned his keyblade glider and flew with them as he looked back.
"No one was supposed to get hurt Demona! People will die if that thing crashes! Hundreds!" Jason yelled seeing the side of the ship set on fire before crashing into the harbor as Elisa saw the ship crash and the three flying from the smoke.
Back at the castle all the gargoyle had returned with the disks and David waiting.
"My friends you have my profound thanks, rest assured that the knowledge on these disks will be put to beneficial use for humans and Gargoyles alike" David said walking away.
"I have promised to meet a friend I'll be back soon" Goliath said to Demona said.
"A friend? Who? Not one of us" Demona said.
"No a human, Elisa Maza" Goliath said.
"Aside from Xanatos we have no human friends, nor should we, humanity is our enemy Goliath, I thought you learned that a millennium ago" Demona said.
"Uh excuse me two non-Gargoyles standing right here and Elisa good, unlike someone I know" Jason said.
"I also cannot make war upon an entire world doesn't Xanatos prove there are good humans as well as bad" Goliath said.
"Can you forgive the humans for what they did to our kind?" Demona said.
"The ones responsible for that have been dead for a thousand years."
"Then their descendants shall pay! I will have blood for blood!"
"You said the centuries have changed me, they changed you too, you have become hard, unforgiving, you not as I remember you, I am going to go see my friend now" Goliath said.
"Come on Goliath" Jason said as they took off to the city where they met Elisa on the roof.
"Where have you been?! I have been looking all over town for you!" Elisa said.
"Why?" Goliath asked.
"Three Cyberbiotic Installations have been reporting robberies of some kind of creatures and I saw you two and another Gargoyle flying away from the plane wreck, what's this all about Goliath?" Elisa said.
"The disks were stolen from Xanatos we returned them to him" Goliath said.
"Remember this?" Elisa asked handing him a paper as Jason and Goliath saw the symbol that was on the tracker they found on Goliath, "I traced that emblem it's a logo of a robotics firm which is own by are you ready? Jason was right, Xanatos Enterprises."
"I KNEW IT!" Jason yelled.
"Are you saying that Xanatos is responsible for the attack in the park?" Goliath asked.
"That's exactly what I'm saying he probably planted that bug on you himself" Elisa said.
"Those are the same men who stole the disk from him" Goliath said.
"Goliath nothing was stolen I've checked, those disks were Cyberbiotics property he must have staged that to trick you into stealing the disks, he used you he's been using you from the beginning" Elisa said.
"When I get my hands on him!" Jason growled.
"Listen Goliath we haven't known each other very long and I know you don't have any good reason to trust humans but you got to trust somebody in this world and I think you'd be better off with me Max and Jason than Xanatos" she said as Goliath growled and crushed the paper in his hand.
"You won't regret it" Elisa said.
"Yeah Goliath I want to be your friend and so dose Max" Jason said pulling out his Wayfinder.
"What is that?" Goliath asked.
"A good friend of mine made this for all her friends, it's called a Wayfinder it what bind and unbreakable connection to us and I'd like you and all your Gargoyle allies to become a part of my circle of friends along with everyone else I've met on my journey" Jason smiled as Goliath place his hand on Jason Wayfinder then smiled.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The Gargoyles have outworn their usefulness but now with the data on those disks I can bring their replacements online" Xanatos smirked looking at five sheet covered figures.
"Three hours till dawn we only need to wait till they sleep again-" Owen said before Demona entered the room.
"No! You need to test these replacements do you not?" Demona smirked.
