A man with brown hair & beard (with a pony top behind his head) wearing a black uniform was walking through the halls as he enters the elevator with an assistant. The two reached up to the top of the castle & see the gargoyles, Elisa & the mysterious boy they haven't met yet. They walked up to the mysterious & introduced themselves. David Xanatos & Owen Burnett.

Xanatos: Ah. I see that our mysterious guest has awakened. I am David Xanatos & this is Owen Burnett. It's a pleasure to meet you young man. And what is your name? (Offers the boy a handshake)

Ash remembered Elisa's explanation story about the man who reawakened Goliath's clan(again except Angela) since the beginning. But however he feels a lot of anger within him & does not like the man one bit. But not only that, he also held his fists as his hands begin to spark with electricity coming out his hands.

The others showed shocked expressions of what they just saw right before their eyes.

Elisa step down to ash telling him to calm down.

Elisa: It's ok Ash. He just wants a handshake.

He did as she told him & shook Xanatos hand.

Xanatos: I've been wanted to meet you as soon as you awaken young man. Aren't you delighted as well my boy? I can tell by the look of your face that you've heard of me from Goliath, Miss. Maza & the others haven't you?

Ash: Yeah I've heard about you. you were once their enemy.

Xanatos: Was. Now were all friends.

Still not liking him reminds Ash of Team Rocket & other reign villains, but he had calm down & took a deep breath after.

Owen: Perhaps you should give the boy an explanation more clearly Mr. Xanatos.

Xanatos: Very well then. I guess It's best to start from the beginning to the end. Don't you agree my boy?

Ash(glaring): Try me.

After an explanation that Xanatos was the one responsible for awaking Goliath & his clan (expect Angela) he also told ash of past crimes like turning his back on them & created a robotic army of gargoyles, & has become their greatest enemy since then. But he did consider a truce with them like saving the people from becoming stone by Demona & trying to cure people who transformed into gargoyles back to their normal selves. As well as saving his family & now redeem himself.

Xanatos: And there you have it my boy. Though i admit i have made many mistakes before in the past. But i learned better in the end & that's how we all became friends. Isn't that enough for you?

But that wasn't enough for ash

Ash: You think that's good enough for me!? I've dealt with who were worse than you. I gave them a chance but they always trick my & friends whenever we helped them but they still tricked us no matter what! Here's my advice to you If you want to earn someone's trust, you have to prove them about it! So maybe for once prove yourself to them as a true ally, & friend! Instead of being a liar, traitor, & a selfish man!

They were all shocked of ash's anger even for Goliath. He knew there was something wrong with ash but not just his anger but his mysterious electric powers. No one said anything until Xanatos gave him a surprised look.

Xanatos: I like him. I like him a lot.

Ash silently glares at Xanatos while breathing as he walks away leaving everyone speechless. They were about to after him but Goliath ordered them to let him take his time however he turned to his attention to Bronx as he gives the beast an order.

Goliath: Go watch him. He could use your approval.

The beast happily barked knowing that he'll spend more time with ash as he run throughout the hall to find him.

As soon as the beast left Xanatos gave Goliath a wondering look.

Xanatos: You know Goliath i can't help but notice that you seem to be very fond of the boy.

Goliath: I am just worried for him that's all. He was taken from those he loved & was brought here since. But he is right though.

Elisa: Yeah. You should've been a true friend & ally from the start Xanatos.

Brooklyn: She's got a point.

Broadway: I`m with them on this.

Lexington: You should listen to his advice more often Xanatos!

Hudson: Agreed.

Everyone were aggressive with Xanatos of what Ash said to him about earning someone's trust & alliance. Angela on the other hand was worried about Ash more than them.

Angela: I sure hope he's all right. But what was wrong with his hands? And how did you do that? Just what is he?

Goliath: Give him time Angela. I don't want make this harder for him than it already.

Xanatos gave Goliath a wicked smile after seeing his caring side for Ash.

Xanatos: You really do seem to care about the boy after all Goliath. You might one day see him as the son you never had before.

Goliath: What? No i've just know him for a few months and-

Xanatos: Don't try to pretend you don't know Goliath. But maybe you'll understand one day. Besides he could use a father figure like you.

Goliath: Maybe so. But first i must know everything of him. Of who or what he is because of that power we saw from his hands.

Owen: On the contrary Goliath. There is something that we have discovered on the boy during his slumber. And it isn't human.

Goliath: What? You mean there's more than the just the electric hands within him?

Owen: Yes by all means necessary. However i think it's best to do this with the boy. When he's ready of course

Xanatos: But that is for another time. Anyways Goliath. I know that you want help the boy from something that isn't just his anger. He might see you as the father he never had. He needs you & you need him. Did you ever notice a warm feeling in your heart telling that you two are becoming closer than ever?

Goliath: Yes.

Xanatos: That's what i'd like to hear. And deep down i know that you want to help & protect him as well. Don't you?

Goliath: I do. Thoughts (Don't worry my friend. I will help you anyway i can.) Starts to go to the tower

But before Goliath could check on Ash. Xanatos spoke of one last conversation to him.

Xanatos: Oh & Goliath?

Goliath: What now Xanatos?

Xanatos(smiling): You'll one day thank me for this. I know it.

Goliath: We'll see about that Xanatos. But maybe i will someday. Thoughts (And you maybe right. He might be the son i never had. The more i look at him, the more i will do to watch over him & i will be there for him until the end.)

Castle Rooftop

Ash sat down outside thinking of what he did. After learning of Xanato's crimes in the past & redeeming himself as their new ally & friend in the end still bothered him if he should trust him or not.

Suddenly he heard a sound coming to his direction as he prepares to attack. But instead it was just Bronx.

Ash: Oh hey Bronx did Goliath ask you to come check on me?

The beast nodded

Ash: Thanks buddy. I really appreciate. And You're always welcome to cheer up me anytime.

The beast tackles Ash to the ground & licks him as he laughs.

After their new friendship bond, Bronx cuddles himself to ash as he still feels the anger, fear & hate within him. But with the gargoyles & Elisa at his side he might be free one day. But he also feels sadden of how long will he be away from everyone he knows & loved if he ever sees them again soon.

But unknown to him Goliath has been watching him knowing that there's more to him than meets the eye.

Golaith (thoughts): I will find a way of whatever's troubling of the anger & power you have my friend. And I will protect you from what's coming to you. No matter what.

Relient K
Be my escape.

I've given up on giving up slowly, I'm blending in so

You won't even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

I'm giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving

But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and

I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave

Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and

I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging
You to be my escape.

I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You

So were You
