In Cyberbiotics' tower lab, the guards aim at Brooklyn, Lexington, Athena, and Broadway.
Brooklyn grins, shrugs, and says, "Sorry, wrong floor."
The guards open fire as they retreat back up the elevator shaft. Broadway opens the door to the floor above, and the three of them dive into the hallway as the guards fire up the shaft.
"Now what?" Lexington asked.
Athena's phone suddenly rings and she takes it out of her pocket to answer.
"Hello?"
"Athena, it's me, Elisa. Listen, I found something interesting about the people who attacked me and Goliath the other night," Elisa told her.
"Listen, Elisa. I'm in the middle of something. Can we discuss this later?"
"I'll explain it to you and Goliath later tonight," She replied.
"Good. Bye," Athena hangs up.
In the lab on the fourth floor, the scientists nervously watch the door as an alarm sounds. Suddenly, part of the ceiling caves in, and the lights go out. The three gargoyles and Athena drop in and the lights come on. The technicians recoil as Broadway growls.
Brooklyn picks up a nearby scientist by the collar and asks, "Where's the disk?
The scientist point to a console. Lexington surveys the controls and finds the disk, "Got it."
The guards begin to come in the door but are blocked by Brooklyn," I think it's time to go."
Broadway picks up a large piece of equipment and hurls it through a window. The three of them fly with Brooklyn holding Athena, with the guards shooting at them from the tower.
Lexington rolls over in flight and shouts, "We did it!" They fly back to the castle
Not long after they arrived at the castle, where Xanatos was waiting for them, Hudson and Bronx joined them followed by Goliath and Athena's mother, who hands over the disk to Xanatos.
"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," Xanatos told them before walking away with the disk.
"l have promised to meet a friend. I'll be back soon," Goliath told his mate and turns to leave.
"A friend? Who?" She asks, "Not one of us."
"No. A human. Elisa Maza," He replied.
"I need to come with you, father. Elisa said that there was something she wanted to tell us," Athena told her Goliath.
"Aside from Xanatos, we have no human friends. Nor should we. Humanity is our enemy, Goliath. l thought you learned that a millennium ago."
"l cannot make war upon an entire world," Goliath told his mate, "Doesn't Xanatos and our daughter prove that there are good humans, as well as bad?"
"Can you forgive the humans for what they did to our kind?" His mate questioned him.
"But, mother the ones responsible for our family's deaths have been dead for a thousand years," Athena told her.
"Then their descendants shall pay. l will have blood for blood," Athena's mother snapped at her.
Athena, never in all her life until now, became frightened by her mother.
"You said the centuries have changed me. They've changed you, too. You've become hard, unforgiving. You are not as l remember you. Our daughter and I going to see our friend now," Goliath told her. He and Athena walk past her mother.
"So be it," His mate said.
Goliath takes hold of Athena in his arms before jumping off and gliding to meet with Elisa on a nearby rooftop. When Goliath landed and placed Athena on the ground, Elisa ran up to them.
"Where have you two been?" She asked, " I've been looking all over town for you."
"Why?" Goliath asked.
"Three Cyberbiotics installations have reported robberies by some kind of creatures, one reported a woman was with the creature, and l saw you and another gargoyle flying away from the plane wreck. What's this all about, Goliath? Athena?"
"The disks were stolen from Xanatos. We returned them to him," Goliath explained.
"Remember this?" Elisa pulls out a piece of paper with a beetle logo on it from her jacket, "l traced that emblem. lt's the logo of a robotics firm that's owned by are you ready? Xanatos Enterprises."
"Are you saying that Xanatos is responsible for the attack in the park?" Goliath questioned.
"That's exactly what I'm saying," She replied, "He probably planted that bug on you himself."
"But those were the same men who stole the disks from him," He told her.
"Goliath, nothing was stolen. l checked. Those disks were Cyberbiotics' property. He must have staged the theft to trick you into stealing the disks. He used you. He used both of you. He's been using both of you from the beginning."
Goliath turns away from Elisa. She gently pulled him back to face her.
"Listen, Goliath. We haven't known each other very long," Elisa admitted," But Athena and I have known each for years, and l know you don't have any good reason to trust humans but you've got to trust somebody in this world, and l think you'd be better off with me than Xanatos."
Goliath looks down at the emblem before crumpling the piece of paper and growls. Elisa smiles and says, "You won't regret it."
Goliath and Athena glided, while Elisa drives in her car, back to the castle. When Goliath and Athena return, they see that their clan is under attack by robots that look like Goliath.
"Father, drop me close enough to the ground and help the others," Athena told him. Goliath nodded and glided closer to the castle grounds before placing her on the ground and gliding back up to help the trio.
One of the robots aims at Lexington. The blast knocks him out in flight, but Brooklyn catches him as he falls. Brooklyn struggles to fly with the added load, and the robot aims at him as well. Just as the robot is about to open fire, Goliath catches him in midair and drives him into one of the castle walls. The robot explodes, and Goliath flies toward Brooklyn.
"Give him to me," Goliath said to Brooklyn.
Brooklyn gives Goliath Lexington, and Goliath lands next to Broadway. He pushes a stone off of Broadway and lies Lex next to him. Athena rushed over to her father and the unconscious Lexington and Broadway.
"Stay here and watch over them," Goliath said to Athena before going off to fight.
Athena knew that they were going to need help in this fight and decided to cast a summoning spell," Magic Forces black and white, reaching out through space and light. Be he far or be he near, Bring me the demon Etrigan here," and hoped that he would be here soon.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn glides under the castle and catches a support column. He climbs back up the castle and rejoins the battle. Hudson and Bronx run out of the castle.
"What's all the noise?" Hudson asked.
As if to answer his question, a robot flies around and fires at the two of them. Bronx leaps after the robot as it flies by and catches its tail. He forces it to the ground. The robot fires on Bronx, who easily avoids the blasts. Hudson draws his sword and descends on the robot from above. With a roar, he cleaves the machine neatly in two.
"Never a dull moment, is there boy?" He asked Bronx.
Athena sees one of the robots flying towards and aiming its weapon at her, Lexington, and Broadway.
"Mercuta Verditis," She said and a blue beam of energy shoots from her hand and causes the robot to explode.
Goliath then manages to get on the back of one of the robots and steers it into another one attacking. Both blow up. Soon Lexington and Broadway regain consciousness.
"What's going on?" Lexington asked Athena.
"I don't know, but it's not over yet," Broadway said with widened eyes as he pointed to the last of the robots that were attacking them. The robot took aim and fired at the three, but Athena had put up a shield allowing them to be unharmed by the attack. Lexington and Broadway stood there bewildered by what they saw. When the robot leaves, Athena puts down the shield.
"H-how were you able to do that?" Lexington asked.
"Years of practice," Athena replied, "Let's go meet up with the others."
The trio and Athena rush to the courtyard and met with Hudson and Bronx, but unaware of them, the last robot was taking its aim at them. Goliath and Brooklyn, both hiding behind the wall of a broken tower, see the robot. They waited till the robot was close enough and pushed the wall on top of it. The robot is then crushed when it hits the ground before exploding.
"And they say that the middle ages were barbaric," Hudson said.
"We won dude!" Brooklyn cheered.
"Dude?" Goliath asked confused.
"You haven't won anything, fools," Athena's mother told them. Goliath and Brooklyn turned to her and see that she was aiming a missile launcher at them and Xanatos at the rest of the clan. Her mother fires the rocket at Brooklyn and Goliath but was able to dodge it, barely. Brooklyn lands next to the rest of the clan and Athena, while Goliath lands in front of his mate.
"What are you doing?" Goliath asked his mate.
The gargoyles and Athena get ready to fight, but Xanatos stops them by keeping his missile launcher aimed at them, "Hold it. Let's just let them play out their little drama, shall we?"
Athena silently cast a spell of illusion to make it seem that she was still there and to make her invisible so she can sneak up to her father's side.
"Goliath, you're a fool,'' she replies, "But then, you always were, weren't you? if you'd only taken the rest of our clan away from the castle that night. The plan was perfect."
"Plan?" Goliath asked confused.
"lt would have succeeded."
"What plan?"
"l made a bargain with the captain," His mate explained, "l was to get us all out of the castle so that the Vikings could sack it."
"What?" Goliath asked.
"lt would have worked," She continued confessing, "And after the humans were gone, we would have had the castle all to ourselves. But you ruined it. You had to protect the humans. You made us stay at the castle when we should have been with you. When the Vikings attacked, the captain said he'd protect us. But l didn't trust him. I've stayed alive because l don't trust anyone."
"But why did you do it?" He asked her.
"You can ask me that?" His mate snapped, "After how they treated us, how they treated our daughter, they had to pay. All humanity has to pay for what they did to our kind and my daughter."
"There's good and evil in all of us, human and gargoyle alike. You should know that more than anyone. Don't you see? None of this would have happened if it weren't for you," Goliath told her.
"Don't say that!" She snapped again. She lowered her gun before speaking in a calm voice, " Goliath, this is your last chance. Humanity is a poison that must be purged from this planet. Together, you and l can create a new world for our kind. You trusted me once. You loved me once. We have found each other again after a thousand years of solitude. Does that mean nothing to you?"
Goliath didn't reply and looked away from her, but she knew his answer.
"Very well, then. lf you are not my ally, then you are my enemy," Her eyes glow red as she levels the gun and fires it. Goliath barely dodges it and lands on his back.
"l have a name, too, Goliath. The humans gave it to me long ago. You should know it before you die. l am Demona. Goodbye, Goliath," She aimed the gun right at his chest.
"No!" Athena screamed as she makes herself visible. Elisa and Athena run out to Demona. They knock on her, and the rocket goes astray, hitting the top of the nearest tower. The falling debris knocks out Xanatos, who held the rest of the clan at bay while Demona tried to handle Goliath. Another huge piece hits the battlements, which crumble, throwing Elisa, Athena, and Demona off and sending them to a long plummet down to the ground level.
Goliath glides down and catches Elisa, but as he was about to get Athena a yellow-skinned demon with wings dressed in medieval knight garb caught Athena and flew back up to the castle. Goliath glides back up to the castle and sets Elisa down before watching Demon, with debris and stones, falling to the ground until she is out of his sight.
Goliath let out a roar before falling to his knees. He then saw that Xanatos was regaining consciousness, Goliath grabs him by his jacket and hold him over the edge of the castle.
"She wanted me to destroy humanity. I think I'll start with you," Goliath said with anger.
"Go ahead. Without me, you'd still be gathering moss and your daughter would be without her family," Xanatos taunted him with no fear.
"No, Goliath. Don't do this," Elisa shouted.
"Give me one good reason not to drop him!" Goliath demanded.
"Because if you do, you're the same as Demona."
"She's right, father," Athena agreed with Elisa, "ls that what you want?"
Goliath looks back at Xanatos before shaking his head, "No." and throws Xanatos onto the stairs in front of Elisa, Athena, and Hudson.
Elisa cuffed Xanatos before talking him down to the lobby and giving him to the police officers. When she rejoined the gargoyles, Athena, and the nameless demon, Goliath and Hudson were overlooking the streets below.
"You did the right thing, lad," Hudson told Goliath.
"Do you think she survived?" He asked.
"lf she did, we'll know soon enough, l imagine."
A moment passed before Athena thought that it was time for some introductions.
Athena walked hand and hand with the demon and said," Father, Uncles, Elisa, there is someone I'd like you all to meet," She smiled at the demon," This is Etrigan, the demon who won my heart, but Elisa knows him as someone else."
"Gone, gone O' Etrigan! Rise again the form of man!" Etrigan then erupts in a burst of flames and turns into Jason.
"This is Jason Blood, my husband of almost a thousand years," Athena introduced.
"Husband? You said that Jason was your boyfriend," Elisa questioned.
"The younger we say we are the longer we can stay. So, saying that we're dating allows us to stay longer," she explained. Athena and Jason took notice of the gargoyles walking closer to them.
"It is an honor to meet my wife's family. Athena has told me so much about you," Jason said. He and Athena could see the glares he was receiving from the gargoyles, "I can assure you that I would never dare harm Athena. She is the love of my life and she would no doubt beat me in the fight."
The glares from the gargoyles softened and Goliath said," Thank you for looking after my daughter."
Taking their places to sleep for the day, Brooklyn's searching for his sunglasses.
"Hey, where are my sunglasses?" Bronx found them and brings them to Brooklyn, "Thanks, Bronx," He puts them on and sees them breaking apart.
"l wish l had time for a snack," Broadway said.
"You just ate," Lexington groaned.
"Yeah, l know. Chinese food. lt was good, too. But, for some reason, about an hour later l was hungry again."
At his perch above the others, Goliath talks to Elisa, Athena, and Jason.
"lt's nice to know l have at least a few humans friends in this new world," Goliath said.
"l hope you have more - lots more. But whether you do or not, I'll always be your friend, Goliath," Elisa said before asking, "Same time tomorrow night?"
"l wouldn't miss it," He told her.
"Good. Maybe we'll catch a Giants game," Elisa told them.
"'Giants''?" Goliath asked confused. The sun rises, freezing the look of surprise on his face for another day.
"Hm. l wonder if this city's ready for you guys?" Elisa ponders, looking into the rising sun.
"Only one way to find out," Athena said before the three of them went back to their homes.
