Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of either Bluey or Gargoyles, only how the story goes. The everything of Bluey belongs to Ludo Studios and everything of Gargoyles belongs to Disney. The only thing that I do own are the OC's of the story. I apologize for any errors in grammar and/or if I was not accurate in reference to something.
A/N: I do apologize if the intro is less than stellar, but maybe I can come up with a better one. Yes, I based the device that Xanatos uses from another and much more recent cartoon. I added a special twist to the story because I felt it necessary.

(Cue Gargoyles Theme)
Goliath: One thousand years ago in another world
A group of flying creatures passed over the streets of a very large, modern city. They came upon a group of bad humans terrorizing some civilians. The group landed behind them and caused the villains to turn around.
A world where superstition and the sword once ruled
The thugs raised whatever weapons they had and rushed to attack the flying creatures. But five sets of eyes glowed a menacing white and they narrowed their eyes at the thieves.
It was a time of darkness
When the bad men were within striking distance they swung whatever blunt weapons they had. But a group of clawed hands grabbed one of them respectively while a small sword blocked the final weapon.
It was a world of fear
With a heave from their bodies, the individuals threw their assailants back. But the thugs didn't stay down for long as they rose on their feet again. However; before they could continue their attack
It was the age of Gargoyles
The group of heroic beings stepped out of the shadows to reveal themselves to be creatures of the night; Gargoyles. From a distance, a young woman stepped out of the car to keep people away from the fight.
Bluey: One way by day
The other by night
In a large building, a battle was raging. At one point a surge of electricity came from a large machine and opened up a vortex. The vortex drew in the humans and the Gargoyles. As the group of Gargoyles and their human friend fell through the wormhole, an aura of magic surrounded them.
They became protectors of a whole new world
Brought forth by mishap of an enemy of theirs
The group found themselves in an unknown location before coming to face to face with the inhabitants. A family of dogs takes the heroes in after they defend them from a threat of their world.
Goliath: Now with us Gargoyles and Elisa here in Brisbane
We seek to find a way to get us back home
And we will protect our new friends
On a building within Brisbane, a fire was raging as the group moved to get away from the flames. Each of the Gargoyles lifted a Heeler, Elisa and Bronx before taking off into the skies. They were able to get away as an explosion went off behind them.
Bluey:We are members of a whole new family
Goliath: For we have become the Brisbane Clan
The Manhattan Clan carried all four of the Heelers and Elisa through the air as they glided away. They land before the family's home just as the rays of the sun started to rise behind the roof.

Chapter One: Reshaping
Part One – Two Worlds Apart
Gargoyle's World…
It was very late in the afternoon in the city of Manhattan about to become evening. The sun was just starting to set in the West. Inside of a police station in the middle of the city, a young woman wearing a red jacket, blue jeans and black shoes was making her way through the building. Elisa Maza had her hands were in her pockets and she looked like she had troubling news on her mind. Might have had something to do with that little meeting her and her partner Matt Bluestone had with the chief not too long ago. And it really wasn't a meeting that she really enjoyed being a part of.
\_|_/
(Cue Flashback)
She and a man with red hair in a tan trench coat, white shirt, olive green overshirt, red tie brown pants and dress shoes walked down the halls. Elisa and Matt opened the door to the Chief Maria Chavez, a woman wearing a purple coat over a white shirt and a purple skirt as well. The woman looked up from the stack of papers on her desk and she greeted, "Maza, Bluestone, just the people I needed to see."
"What's going on, Chief?" Matt asks her as he sits down in one of the chairs before her desk. Elisa chooses to remain standing while moving closer. The chief of the building started fiddling with the pen in her hands and said, "I've just received word that David Xanatos is going to unveil a new invention tonight and he says that he needs some security."
"What? Why?" Elisa asks her, questioning why Xanatos was needing them for security. Chief Chavez shrugged, "Not sure. But for some reason he said he wanted to make sure this device would be safe."
"What's the device?" Matt asks, feeling a little curious about this. Chief Chavez mostly guessed with a shrug of her shoulders, "He said that it was some new type of power generator. Says that it could revolutionize the world somehow.
"And he was asking for the two of you specifically." She added while pointing the pen in her hands at the two of them. Elisa found that to be a little strange as she scratched her chin. She would normally protest on something like this, but she had a feeling that Xanatos was up to no good with this. Elisa was snapped out of her thoughts when Bluestone said to their boss, "We'll take a look into this chief."
And with that, the meeting was over. Elisa planned on giving Matt the slip so she could tell some important friends about this.
(End of flashback)
\_|_/
The memory faded as she approached the storage room. Elisa glanced around the hallway to see if the coast was clear of any other officers before slipping into the room. She shut the door behind her before looking to the ceiling of the room. Above her was a door that led up into the top level of the building; the clock tower. The detective reached up and pulled a string to lower the door. When it touched the floor, Elisa walked up the stairs.
She came into the old clock mechanism before going up a small flight of stairs. She opened up a door in the large clock and stepped outside. The wind blew against her hair as she looked to a group of six statues over the railing of the balcony. Only she knew that these weren't ordinary statues. The sun soon descended past the horizon and she watched the magic happen.
The sound of rumbling came from the six statues as cracks appeared on them. A few seconds later, beings of flesh and blood broke free from the stone forms. Each of the Gargoyles gave roars or growls as they awoke from their stone slumber. Elisa smirked when she said, "I know that I've already said it before, but that never gets old."
The six Gargoyles turn towards the tower and find their friend waiting for them. The largest of them, a purple Gargoyle with long black hair and a brown loincloth was the first to greet her with a grin, "Elisa. It is good to see you this evening."
"Likewise, Goliath." She said with a small chuckle. An older tan Gargoyle wearing battle armor, a young red Gargoyle in a brown loincloth, a tall teal Gargoyle, a short olive green Gargoyle with a grey loincloth and a dual blue colored Gargoyle Beast joined their leader as they climbed over the railing. They then happened to notice the look on their friend's face and the teal Gargoyle asked, "What's wrong, Elisa?"
"Nothing good, I'm afraid, Broadway." Elisa shook her head. The red Gargoyle spoke up, "Probably something to do with Xanatos, I'm betting."
"Aye, you be right on that, lad." The older Gargoyle said as he saw the look on Elisa's face. Elisa nodded, "You're both right, I'm afraid. I've got some troubling news."
"Tell us everything you know, Elisa." Goliath told her, fearing of whatever devious plan that Xanatos had come up with.
\_|_/
Elsewhere, at a tall building with what appears to be a castle at the top, there was commotion in the building. Down in the sub-levels of the building, two men in business attire walked through a hallway. The man with blonde hair said to the man walking in front of him, "The new energy generator is holding steady, Mr. Xanatos. Energy levels are stable for the moment.
"After tonight's test run, we'll be ready to present it to the public soon after." He added. The man in front of him, David Xanatos, seemed pleased when he said, "Excellent. Just excellent.
"And our extra security for this evening? Are they in place, Owen?" He asked when he looked back to his assistant. Owen Burnet nodded, "They are indeed, sir. I've made sure that the Pack will be in place for this test run."
"Are you sure that it's wise to be bringing them in, considering your history with some of them?" A new voice asked, making both men turn their attention forward. A young woman with red hair, a blue marking around her eye in a red dress walked up to them. When she stood before them she grasped David's hands and asked, "Don't you feel threatened for your safety?"
"A little, my dear Fox. But what's life without a little danger?" He asked with an arched brow. He then added, "Plus, with instructions sent to Coyote 1.2, then we'll be good on keeping the Pack in check for tonight."
"If you say so." Fox said, though was a little reluctant of the idea. Xanatos looked between them and said, "Besides, they're mostly to keep some unwanted guests out tonight."
\_|_/
In another room of the building, a car sized door was raised. When it was fully opened, a small van pulled into the garage. The van didn't have any windows except for at the front. The vehicle pulled to a stop and two men in burglar suits stepped out of the vehicle. One was tall and skinny while the other was short and round. The short man seemed a little happy when he said, "Man, two jobs from this lady and enough dough to keep us taken care of for months."
"We'll, we better hurry before we miss the boss' deadline." The tall one reminded as they opened the back door. Inside was a flat object wrapped in a white sheet laying on its side. Carefully they picked the object up and carried it through the garage of the building.
…
Just outside of the building, a shape glided through the night sky before landing on a perch just outside one of the windows. The being was a blue skinned female Gargoyle with red hair and a white outfit. She had a duffel bag strapped around her, no doubt filled with what she needed. She peeked into the window before opening it and climbing in. The Gargoyle found herself in an empty hallway before taking out a radio and turning it on. She then activated it and questioned, "Is it in place?"
"Yes, ma'am." A voice, likely one of the burglars answered. Then he asked, "Where do you want to meet us at?"
"If you're where I told you to be, then go ahead and leave." The Gargoyle ordered. But the burglar started to protest, "But-"
"You'll soon have your payment." The female Gargoyle, Demona, told him before cutting them off. Putting the radio away, she looked around again before heading off in another direction.
\_|_/
Back at the clock tower, Elisa finished telling her Gargoyle friends what was going down tonight. None of them seemed too happy to hear this. The olive green Gargoyle, Lexington, said, "If Xanatos is making some kind of experimental generator, then it might just have something bad in it."
"Yeah, knowing Xanatos." The red Gargoyle, Brooklyn, agreed as he crossed his arms. They all turned to Goliath who was leaning against the railing as he stared up at the tower that seated their old home. The older tan Gargoyle, Hudson, said, "What are you wanting to do, lad?"
"We need to make sure that this new invention of Xanatos' doesn't cause harm to the city or to its people." Goliath said and looked to group. Lexington then suggested an idea, "Well, if we can use the headset with Elisa, we can have eyes and ears inside the building."
"That's a good point." Broadway nodded while the Gargoyle Beast Bronx gave a bark of agreement. Goliath decided, "Then we shall wait on the outside of the building until we get a signal from Elisa."
"That's a start." Elisa said, feeling a little more comfortable about all this. The leader of the Gargoyle Clan then said, "You better get moving if you're going to meet with Bluestone."
"Right." Elisa agreed before turning to walk in the building. As she shut the door behind her, Goliath jumped onto the railing and opened his wings. Looking to his fellow Gargoyles he said, "Let's go."
Broadway and Brooklyn hoisted Bronx up between them and joined Hudson and Lexington on the railing. They all opened their wings and took off into the air with Goliath in the lead.
\_|_/
Bluey's World…
Elsewhere, in another world similar to the Gargoyle's world, but vastly different, the world still turned. On the continent of Australia, a small family of dogs who walked and talked like Man were on the final day of camping. They had gone camping with some family and stayed for about a week. Sitting on a log around a fire pit was a young blue Heeler she-Dog. She stared up at the stars above her, thinking how sad she was that she wasn't able to make a new friend this camping trip. There was mostly older dogs from happy couples to those just trying to get away from city life.
"Bluey, it's almost time for dinner." She heard her mother calling to her. She looked to see her mother Chilli, a Red Heeler and her sister Bingo, a younger Red Heeler, walking towards the tent that they had set up. Another Blue Heeler, her father Bandit, crawled out of the tent and had a smile on his face as he dusted his hands off. He looked between his three girls and said, "Well, the sleeping bags are all ready to go for our last night."
"Aw, do we have to go home tomorrow?" Bingo cutely asked her father. This earned some chuckles from her parents and Chilli lightly rubbed the top of her youngest daughter's head as she said, "Yes, you got to go back to school in two days, remember. We need to be home so we can be ready."
"Oh, yeah." Bingo remembered with a grin. Chili then ushered the little dog over to the tent. She looked back to see her oldest daughter still sitting on the log. She moved over to her and sat down next to her. Chili noticed the look on her face and asked, "What's the matter, Sweetheart?"
"Oh, it's nothing really." Bluey nodded, though her frown was evident of how she was feeling right now. Then it turned around when she said, "I just wish that I could have made a new friend this holiday.
"I was just hoping that I would meet someone new." She added with her sad look returning for a moment. Chili gave her daughter a sympathetic smile and wrapped an arm around her, "I know you are, kiddo. But there's always tomorrow."
"Yeah, that's true." Bluey nodded again as she looked to her mother. With a gesture of her head, Chilli said, "Come on then, honey. Let's be getting ready for dinner, shall we."
They both rose off of the log and made their way over to the tent. They crawled in after Bandit and Bingo. The four made themselves comfortable on a spot to sit down and enjoy a meal cooked by Bandit. The only male Dog was currently filling plates with the food while the girls all waited to eat. But as she waited for the food to be ready, Bluey couldn't help but look up to the sky and wonder if she would make a brand new friend in the future
\_|_/
Gargoyle's World…
Over in Manhattan in the Gargoyles' world, the six Gargoyles flew through the air towards the Eerie Building. As they were getting closer to it, Brooklyn asked from the back, "So, do we have a plan for sneaking in?
"I mean, we don't even know where to go." He pointed out. Lexington looked back to the red Gargoyle and said, "Elisa will try to guide us to the room when she gets there."
"As for the building itself, we will infiltrate through one of the windows and lay low." Goliath said from the head of the group. The group of Gargoyles reached the building and noticed a window open. Goliath, Hudson and Lexington landed on the ledge on both sides of the window. When Brooklyn and Broadway were close enough, the two bigger Gargoyles took Bronx from them and let him slip through first. When the Gargoyle Beast was inside, Brooklyn and Broadway slipped in after him and were quickly followed by the other three Gargoyles.
They looked around for any guards but didn't see anything. Bronx started sniffing around and when he caught the whiff of a familiar scent, he started growling with narrowed eyes. The other Gargoyles took notice of this and Lexington came closer. He placed a clawed hand on the Gargoyle Beast's back and asked, "What is it, boy?"
Bronx slowly started following the trail and the other five of the Clan rushed to keep up with him. A few steps later he took off. As the group rounded a corner, Broadway commented, "Must be something big with him going that fast."
"Or someone he recognizes." Goliath thinks aloud. That caused the other four to think as they continued to run through the hallways.
\_|_/
Elsewhere in the building, Elisa and Matt walked into the lobby of the building. Walking right up to the desk, they showed their badges to the receptionist and Matt said, "We're here to see Mr. Xanatos."
"I'll let him know that you're here." The receptionist said and picked up the phone. The two detectives glace to each other as they waited. A moment later she said, "Sir, I have some guests here in the lobby to see you."
The two detectives heard something on the phone being said to the receptionist. A second later, she placed it down and said, "Mr. Xanatos will be with you momentarily."
"Thanks." Matt said and the two detectives took a step back from the desk. They didn't have to wait too long when they heard the elevator ding on the right side of the lobby. The door opened up to reveal both Xanatos and Owen step out. The owner of building had a smile as he greeted them, "Detectives Maza and Bluestone, what can I do for you?"
"We're here to be extra security, like you had asked." Elisa reminded him with crossed arms, though not wanting to be here longer than she had to be. This seemed to really surprise both men as Xanatos then said, "But I never asked for extra security.
"Did you, Owen?" He genuinely asked when he turned to his assistant. This surprised both Elisa and Matt a good deal. Owen shook his head, "I don't believe so, sir."
"Well, the chief said that you had called and asked for our assistance." Matt said, remembering the details from their boss before they had left the station. Xanatos slightly narrowed his eyes as he started thinking about the situation. Turning to Owen he said, "It appears that there was a leak of info."
"It would appear so, sir." Owen agreed with his boss. Xanatos then turned to the two and said, "Perhaps it would be best for the two of you to remain as my guests until the matter is resolved."
"Well, if it is a mix up, someone needs to let the chief know what's going on." Matt pointed out. Elisa looked to her partner and said, "Why don't you go and let her know, Matt.
"And I'll stick with them." She added while turning her focus back on the two men that she didn't trust one bit. Matt nodded and walked away to make the call. Elisa then looked to her least favorite people and asked, "Either of you boys have any idea of what's going on?"
"Obviously, someone's gotten their hands on some delicate information." Xanatos said with narrowed eyes while turning his head away. He then glanced around before asking with a smug grin, "Should I ask if a few friends of ours are going to be making an appearance tonight?"
"They're my friends." Elisa corrected him, feeling irked that he would try a line like that. She glared at him as she said, "And I have a feeling that they'll be dropping in if and when there's trouble."
"I wouldn't have it any other way." Xanatos said with a half smirk and started walking in a certain direction. Elisa looked up to the ceiling and muttered to herself, "Feels like things are gonna make a bizarre turn for some reason."
\_|_/
In another part of the building, Demona made it into the room where the burglars had dropped off the object. Opening the door, she slipped inside to finish her latest plan. Walking up to the object still wrapped in the sheet, Demona reached towards it with her claws. Instead of removing the sheet right away, the female Gargoyle simply ran her hand along the side. Looking to the object as she felt the cloth she said, "Tonight, I will remove all of my enemies at once.
"Even if it means destroying my one human ally in the process as well." She remorselessly said. But then a smirk grew on her face when she chuckled with a shrug, "But to be fair, he always was merely a pawn in my plans."
She looked around before wrapping her arms around the object and made her way to where she needed to be. Demona made her way back to the door and carefully opened it. When she peeked out, the female Gargoyle saw that all was clear. Maneuvering to where she held the covered object much better, Demona carried it down the hall.
\_|_/
In another room of the Eerie Building a large machine stood. It looked like a tall blue cylinder with a coil wrapped around it. The machine was hooked up to a computer console. But hanging above the computer console was an observation rooms with dark tinted windows along the front of it. In one of them a group of four individuals sporting gold and red armor were waiting. And on each of their outfits had a golden head of a canine on them. The biggest, Wolf, looked down at the machine below before questioning with a growl, "How long are we expected to just sit up here waiting?"
"Would you just be patient?" The second biggest with an Australian accent, the one called Dingo, questioned when he looked to his teammate. The only girl in the group since their former leader had left, Hyena, looked over and agreed, "Yeah, you've done nothing but scowl and pace since we were snuck in here. Try to show some restraint."
"Hah! Big talk about restraint coming from you." Her brother, Jackal, laughed when he pointed at his sister. That just made Hyena scowl at him. The door to the observatory opened and someone in yellow armor with the head of a coyote walked in. Dingo was the one to ask, "Well, what's the word, Coyote?"
"There seems to have been a breach in security." Coyote said with deep disoriented voice. Looking to each of them he said, "Mr. Xanatos wants us to be prepared for unwelcome arrivals."
"The Gargoyles, huh?" Wolf said as he cracked his knuckles, itching for a fight. Coyote nodded, "Mr. Xanatos has asked that we be prepared for when they drop in."
"On it, boss." Hyena said as she gave a two fingered salute. While Coyote walked back out of the room to go on patrol, Dingo and Jackal all kept their eyes on the room. Behind them, Wolf and Hyena were preparing their gear with the former starting to practice some of his martial arts while the latter sharpened the claws on her gloves.
\_|_/
Running through the hallways, the five continued to follow Bronx's lead. They came to a door and they all moved to each side of it. The Gargoyle Beast growled and lightly scratched at the door. Keeping his voice low, Goliath said, "We must be ready for whomever is behind this door."
"Right." The others nodded in agreement as their leader reached for the door knob. He turned it and quickly opened it. All eyes turned white and deep growls came from all six of them. They all rushed in as they were prepared for battle. But they calmed down when they came into an empty room. The glowing eyes ceased as Goliath ordered, "Spread out and search for clues to whom else might be here."
They moved about the room and looked for whatever they could find. Broadway noticed another door on the other side of the room. The teal Gargoyle saw that it was still open. He looked back to the others and said, "Hey, I think they went through here."
"Good find, Broadway." Goliath commended when the others joined him. Moving to the door the large purple Gargoyle poked his head out to see if there was any sign of opposition or their mystery person. When he didn't see anything, Goliath looked back and said, "Whomever it was, they've left no trace."
"No visible trace. But luckily for us-" Lexington started to point out with a grin and patted Bronx on the back. Seeing that he was up again, the Gargoyle Beast walked up and Goliath made room for him to stick his head out. Bronx started sniffing again and quickly found the scent. He growled again when he recognized the owner of the scent. He started barking and rushed off to the right of the room. The other five didn't waste any time in chasing after the Gargoyle Beast. As they ran through the halls again, Broadway wished aloud, "I really hope that we find whomever we're chasing soon."
\_|_/
As Elisa followed after Xanatos and Owen, she glanced around the halls. But as they made a turn to the right, a ringing sound came from Owen's jacket. He took out a phone and opened it up. He answered whomever was calling him, "Yes, what is it?"
The assistant carefully listened to whatever the person had to say. He nodded, "I see.
"It's the security room." Owen informed his employer. Xanatos became curious as he asked, "What is it, Owen?"
"There's a number of intruders on the fifth floor." Owen relayed the information. When he hung up the phone he added, "And from what I'm told, we have seven new guests in the building."
"I know of the Gargoyles, but whose the seventh?" Xanatos asked, a little lost. Though he didn't look it, Owen sounded a little troubled when he said, "It's Demona."
"Demona?" Both Xanatos and Elisa asked in surprise. The former then said, "She must have gotten the knowledge of the generator. And somehow manipulated it to where she could get the Gargoyles here."
"You mean, that you didn't tell her?" Elisa skeptically asked, hardly believing him. The philanthropist looked to the detective and said, "One of the few things that are absolutely true about me."
"What do you want done? Shall we postpone the test for the generator?" Owen asked him. Xanatos thought about it for a moment before saying, "It might be best. We have no idea what she's planning.
"And I think I should go and have a chat with her." He added before walking off. Owen looked to the detective and said, "No doubt she'll be coming after you, giving your history with her.
"I'd suggest that you find your partner and get out of here." He advised her. But Elisa shook her head, "No way. I'm not afraid of Demona. And I'm not gonna let her hurt my friends."
"What about Detective Bluestone?" Owen asked a good question. Elisa had to stop and think on this one. She didn't want to put Matt in danger, but she had no idea if he was going to leave quietly. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard him coming up. He called to her, "Elisa!
"I've got some news." He told her as he stopped before her and Owen. Elisa turned to him and informed, "I know. The info about the generator was leaked by an outside source and the security here's identified the one responsible."
"Really?" Matt asked in surprise and confusion. Then he said, "Well, I just got a tip from the chief that the tip she got came from an unreliable source. She wants us to head back so we can start an investigate about what's going on."
"You go on ahead back to the station, Matt." Elisa said, thinking this as a way to keep him out of the line of fire. Then she said, "I want to make sure that no one sabotage's this generator. Could have a city wide problem on our hands."
"I'm not so sure that's a good idea." Matt shook his head. Gesturing to the two of them he said, "We're partners. And I shouldn't leave you alone."
"I can take care of myself." She defended herself as she placed her hands on her hips. It made Matt raise his hands in a calming manner, "I know you can. But don't forget that we're supposed to watch each other's backs."
"And you don't have to worry, Mr. Bluestone." Owen spoke up. Placing a hand on her shoulder he said, "Detective Maza will be well protected her, I assure you."
"Yeah, well, I don't exactly trust you, pal." Matt disagreed with this. But this seemed to frustrate Elisa as she said, "Come on, Matt. The more time we waste arguing, the more time the bad guy has to get away. Now go down to the station and inform the chief of what's going on."
"Fine." Matt finally conceded. But he shook his head, "But I don't like this."
"I know how you feel." Elisa said when she calmed down. Then she promised, "I swear to call for back up if there's real trouble."
"Okay. If you're sure." Matt nodded, agreeing to her wishes. Elisa confirmed, "I'm sure."
The red headed detective looked a little reluctant to leave, but turned and made his way to the front door. Elisa turned to Owen and Xanatos' assistant advised, "I still advise that you should leave as well.
"Things will get pretty ugly, especially if Demona is involved." He warned her. But she moved past him without saying a word. She walked down the hall a few feet before looking back to ask, "Well, are you coming?"
Owen didn't say anything but follow after the detective. And as they walked, he had a slight grin from her moxy. The two were unaware that they were being watched from the shadows.
\_|_/
In another part of the building, Demona walked down a flight of stairs with the object still in her arms. But as she took a step down, the female Gargoyle started to slip when she lowered her foot and she yelped when she almost fell. But she was able to wrap her tail around the railing to stop her. The cloth managed to slip a little to partly reveal a tall silver mirror. There were a few cracks in the glass. Adjusting herself to where she could stand, Demona fixed the coverings on the mirror with a scowl, "This wretched mirror is damaged enough already.
"But it just needs to serve one more purpose." She said as she tied some rope around the mirror. When it was secure she lifted it off the ground and continued to carry it to where she would be needing it. But she froze when she heard a door somewhere up above her open and could hear voices familiar to her. The female Gargoyle growled, "Curses! I can't let them catch up to me just yet."
She quickened her pace and rushed up to the next door. A wicked grin grew as she found where she was wanting to go. She quickly opened the door and rushed through with the mirror in hand. With her tail she pushed the door shut behind her.
\_|_/
Up above on the stairwell, the Manhattan Clan entered with Bronx still in the lead. The six then carefully made their way down the flights of stairs. But as they passed a certain spot, Hudson noticed something about the railing and caught the other's attention by saying, "Hold up, everyone. Something's amiss here. Come look at this."
"What is it, Hudson?" Broadway asked as they moved closer to see what he was seeing. The older Gargoyle pointed to the railing and said, "Take a look here. The railing has been lightly squeezed."
They could all see that the metal was slightly dented. Hudson then said, "This was more than likely done to prevent someone from falling."
"Which means that we're getting closer." Goliath said, feeling that the chase was nearing its end. Looking to the Gargoyle Beast he urged, "Quickly, Bronx. Find them."
The four-legged beast gave a bark before he started sniffing once again. He growled before rushing up to the closest door and started to scratch at it. The other five were quick to follow after him and Brooklyn threw the door open. All six filed through to try and catch up.
\_|_/
In the room with the generator, both Owen and Elisa entered. The detective got a good look at the machine. Turning to Owen she questioned, "What does Xanatos plan to power with this thing."
"Mostly plans for the city, Detective Maza." The faithful assistant said, not giving much away as they moved closer. He looked up to the observation room and motioned to someone inside. Unfortunately for him, Elisa noticed this and questioned with a glare, "Who's up there?"
"The real security team." Owen vaguely told her. Elisa wondered for a moment before opening her mouth to ask, but Owen beat her to it by saying, "It's not Derek or the Mutates I'm afraid."
This made her close her mouth, but her glare remained focused on him. The two then turned their attention back to the machine in front of them.

Bluey's World…
Back in the world of the Dog people, the sun was almost gone over the camp grounds. The family of four had finished their dinner and while their parents were tidying up, Bluey and Bingo were currently playing together. The girls were currently playing quick game of tag. But just when Bluey was about to tag her sister, they heard their mother call to them, "Bluey! Bingo! Time for bed!"
"Oh!" Both sisters groaned that their game had to end. But they still walked over to the tent to get some rest. As they walked over, Bandit put the rest of the dishes away and said while grabbing a lantern, "Whelp, one last night in the great outdoors.
"And hopefully next time I won't get eaten by so many bugs." He griped while swatting some mosquitos away with his paw. Chilli walked up and said, "Well, it was nice to get away for a bit yeah."
"Yeah, that's true." Bandit nodded in agreement. Chilli looked about the camp grounds and said, "Too bad there weren't other kids around for the girls to play with."
"Yeah, it would have been nice for the girls to have made some new friends." Bandit said as the girls approached the tent. He held it open to allow them in first before letting Chilli go in after them. Once they were inside, the patriarch of the family crawled in after them with the lantern in his paw. When they were all in the tent, Chilli looked between her daughters and said, "Remember, girls, if you need to go and do a wee-"
"To let either of you know." Both girls nodded with a grin. The four then laid down with Bandit and Chilli on one side of the tent while the girls were on the other. The girls moved inside of their sleeping bags while Bandit laid on top of his. Chilli and Bandit looked over to their daughters and said together, "Night, girls."
"Night." Bluey and Bingo responded and laid their heads back down. Bandit turned out the lantern so they could sleep. While she faced upwards to the roof of the tent, Bluey couldn't help but think of her earlier wonderings about making a new friend.
Just as she was starting to drift off to sleep, Bingo turned over in her sleeping bag towards her sister. She whispered, "Psst, Bluey."
"Yeah, Bingo?" Bluey responded with a whisper of her own and turned in the direction of her sister's voice. Bingo then offered her sibling, "I'm sorry you didn't get to make a new friend like you wanted."
"It's okay." Bluey said, knowing that she still had great friends back home. Bluey then said, "I know that there will be another chance to try."
"Who said that?" Bingo asked. Though it was dark in the tent, Bluey turned her head, "Mum did.
"And it did make me feel better." She nodded when she did feel a little better. Then she started to say, "And-"
"Go to sleep." They heard their father's voice say in the dark, making the girls freeze a moment. Bandit then said, "Some of us would like to wake up not grumpy in the morning."
"Tell me about it." Chilli halfheartedly said, earning a giggle from their daughters. The girls then became silent and closed their eyes.

Gargoyle's World…
Back in the Gargoyles' world, Demona was currently making her way under the room where the generator was above her. She stopped when she came across an assortment of wires. She gave an evil laugh as she said, "With these wires connected to Xanatos' generator, I can have the energy in the mirror overload the machine.
"Thus destroying all of my enemies at once." She said while placing the mirror on the ground. Demona then placed her duffel bag on the ground as well. Bringing out some wires, she moved to attach certain wires that went up to the generator. As she placed the clamps on the mirror, they and the cables attached to them started to glow with a white aura. But just as she took a step back, she heard a door open somewhere behind her. Quickly grabbing the tarp, Demona placed it to where it would cover up the hooked up mirror to keep it out of sight.
When she thought it was secure, Demona grabbed the duffel bag again and then quickly rushed away before coming back out into the hall. She stopped when the Manhattan Clan came around the corner. All six saw their former clanmate and they all glared at her. Demona chuckled as she mocked, "My, my. Aren't you boys a little late to the party."
"Keep on laughing, Demona." Brooklyn angrily growled while clenching his fists. Goliath placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him from being foolish and then said, "Give up whatever scheme it is that you have planned."
"Oh, this scheme is bound to work out in my favor." Demona disagreed with him with a smug grin. But instead of immediately engaging the six of them, the female Gargoyle quickly turned around and ran through the halls. Goliath pointed after her retreating form and ordered, "After her!"
All six of them took off running after her. Up ahead, Demona reached into her bag and started to pull out a small laser blaster. She came to a point in the hall way and pointed her weapon up at the ceiling. She pulled the trigger and a red beam was launched from the blaster. It impacted the ceiling and caused a loud explosion. Demona covered herself as debris rained down from the hole.
The explosion rocked the hallway and it made the group of Gargoyles behind her stumble a bit. Keeping a grip on her weapon, Demona jumped up to the hole in the ceiling and started to climb up even with one hand preoccupied. The Manhattan Clan were quick to get back up and follow after her. When they reached the hole they saw her tail disappear out the other end. Broadway and Brooklyn picked up Bronx before launching him up to the hole. The Gargoyle Beast growled as he managed to get his claws in the ceiling and climbed up after Demona. The other five of the Clan were quick to follow up after him.
…
The explosion didn't go unnoticed by the Pack as they fought to stay on their feet. They were about to go on the move when Coyote came running into the observation room. The robot informed the team, "We have intruders on the lower level."
"The Gargoyles?" Wolf eagerly asked and cracked her knuckles. The leader of the Pack nodded, "Mr. Xanatos wants us to keep them away from the power generator itself."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Hyena questioned and all five took off running for the door. While most of them ran out, Dingo was the last one out and shut the door behind him.
…
Down in the generator room, Elisa and Owen were also shook up by the explosion. When the shaking stopped, Owen glanced around the room as he said, "No doubt Demona's handiwork."
"What was your first clue?" Elisa sarcastically asked when a door to their right opened up. Running into the room were the Pack. Elisa's eyes widened to this while they too noticed her. With a sadistic grin, Hyena flexed the claws on her gloves, "Oh, this night just keeps getting better."
"Unfortunately, Ms. Maza isn't one of the uninvited guests we need to worry about." Xanatos' voice said from above. David Xanatos came flying into the room fully dressed in his red colored, Gargoyle-themed exo-suit. He landed between the two sides and said, "She's been pulled into this party just like our Gargoyle friends."
"By who?" Jackal and Dingo asked in unison. They got their answer when one of the walls suddenly exploded behind Xanatos. Everyone looked to see Demona running into the room. She slid to a stop when she saw Xanatos, the Pack, Elisa and Owen all standing there. The female Gargoyle looked back to see the Manhattan Clan rush in behind her. But they too stopped when they saw the assortment of characters. Demona kept moving her weapon to each of them and Xanatos was quick to intervene by saying, "Ah, Demona. I don't believe that I invited you to the unveiling of my new generator."
"Just one of the many things I found when you allowed me access to your computer files." Demona smirked while training the weapon on him. Then she turned it towards the Pack and raised a brow when she questioned them, "Aren't you going to attack the males and Elisa Maza? They are your enemies after all."
"Normally we would, but we were just told that they're not our enemies tonight, Sheila." Dingo said, earning a surprised look from the female Gargoyle. With a growl she turned her weapon to the six of her former Clan and said, "Then I'll just have to take care of you myself."
With that said she started to pull the trigger. But before she could blast them or they could jump out of the way, Elisa came running up. With an upward motion of her leg, the detective kicked the weapon up towards the ceiling. The laser blast erupted from the gun and sailed towards the ceiling. It impacted the stone roof and a good deal of rubble fell to the ground. Everyone scattered to move out of the way of the debris. Large pieces crashed against the ground while the smaller bits rained everywhere. When it stopped falling, just about everyone started coughing from the dust that was kicked up.
As he slowly got up off the ground, Owen held a hand to his mouth while adjusting his glasses with the other as he coughed a little from the dust and started to look around for his employer. But just as he walked around a large chunk of the ceiling, he grunted when he was struck on the head from behind. As he fell unconscious, Demona looked down at the man with her fist balled up and said with a scowl, "That should keep you out of the way until I'm finished here."
She walked away from the unconscious man while looking around for the rest of her enemies.
On the other side of the rubble, the some of the Pack were starting to get up and Wolf had a clear view of the Manhattan Clan. Looking back to his comrades he waved to them. Hyena and Jackal joined him and Wolf smirked when he looked to the six Gargoyles, "We may not be allowed to harm the detective, but we can still give the boot to the Gargoyles since they're not part of the guest list."
"You know, I so do like that little loophole." Jackal darkly grinned and the three made their way towards the Gargoyles. Even Hyena agreed to this when she flexed her armor's claws.
Over the Gargoyles themselves were getting their bearings. Goliath looked to his charges and asked, "Is everyone alright?"
"I think we'll live." Hudson assured his friend while the others nodded. Bronx gave a bark to let them know that he was okay. Lexington looked about and asked, "Hey, where's Elisa?"
"Elisa?" Goliath called out as he looked around. But their attention was quickly stolen when Broadway said, "Uh, we've got another problem heading this way. And they're not too friendly."
They all looked to see Wolf, Hyena and Jackal rushing towards them. While all of them prepared to fight, Broadway, Brooklyn and Lexington all moved to the front of the group. Brooklyn looked to Goliath, Bronx and Hudson and told them, "You guys go and find Elisa.
"We'll handle these guys." He said when he stood with his rookery brothers. The three then rushed to meet their foes head on. Deciding to trust the trio, Goliath, Hudson and Bronx all moved off to find Elisa. Hudson remained close to his leader while Bronx took off in another direction.
Speaking of said detective, she was making her way around some rubble when she spotted Demona near the generator. She was currently doing something with the machine's computer. Knowing that it probably wasn't anything good, Elisa rushed over to stop her.
The female Gargoyle had a big grin on her face as she began the next phase of her plan. As she typed away on the keys she smugly said, "Just a little more time and the mirror's power will overload the system. Turning a few city blocks of Manhattan into a ghost town."
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that Demona." Xanatos' voice said from the side. She looked up with a gasp to see the Gargoyle exo-suit coming towards her. She grunted when he barreled into her and they fell away from the computer console. The two fell away from the console when Elisa reached the platform.
…
Over with the fight between the three Gargoyles and the three Pack members, the fight quickly began. Broadway tried to barrel into Wolf with his shoulder, but the human was able to take it. The man was able to wrap his arms around the bigger Gargoyle before moving him over his head. Broadway used his tail to slap Wolf on the back of the head and it made the man drop the Gargoyle. The teal Gargoyle landed on his knees before backing away from the aggressive human.
Over with Brooklyn and Jackal's battle, the two were currently grappling with each other. They both were evenly matched as neither could get an advantage over the other as they tried to overpower the other. That is until Brooklyn lowered himself and it made Jackal fall forward with a surprised look. Catching the human on his shoulder, the red Gargoyle threw him across the room. The man groaned as he was able to get up on his knees and threw a glare the Gargoyle's way. Brooklyn's eyes glowed white and he growled while Jackal flexed his fingers as he stood back up. With a yell the two rushed at each other.
Lexington was having the most trouble against his opponent as he was hoisted over Hyena's head. The bloodthirsty member of the group cackled as she spun him around before flinging him away. The Khaki Gargoyle managed to correct himself before gliding through the room. With a roar he turned himself around and headed straight for Hyena. Lex twisted his body to where he could land a kick against her gut and she cried out as she fell back.
The three Pack members were quick to back away from their Gargoyle opponents to regroup. When Wolf, Hyena and Jackal were all standing side by side again, they readied themselves to go on the attack as Broadway, Brooklyn and Lexington approached the three. But the three villains were caught off guard when aggressive barking came from the side and they looked to see Bronx flying through the air at them. Wolf managed to catch the Gargoyle Beast with his hands and was about to throw Bronx when a roaring Broadway came in and knocked into the man with his shoulder. The action caused Bronx to be thrown into the air but luckily for the Gargoyle Beast the teal Gargoyle caught him. But he cried out when he was knocked off his feet and fell onto his back.
The siblings were about to attack the two, but a kick from both Brooklyn and Lexington knocked them back. With the three down for the moment, the red and Khaki Gargoyles helped their friends to their feet. When all four of them stood together, they looked to their adversaries who were getting back on their feet with help from Dingo who had just arrived on the scene.
…
While the Xanatos and Demona were away from the console, locked in combat, Elisa ran up to see what she did to it. While she didn't understand a lot of it, she did understand when she saw the power gauge filling up. And the power meter was starting to move towards the red. Having a bad feeling she said, "This isn't good."
"Elisa!" Goliath called out to her. She looked back to see him and Hudson rushing up to her. They stopped when the joined her next to the console. Elisa looked to them before looking back to the console, "I don't know what she did, but Demona's got this thing rigged to blow somehow."
"Perhaps Xanatos would know how to stop it." Hudson suggested as he didn't know what to do. And while it was the most sensible idea, the look on Goliath's face was one of reluctance. Looking between his two friends he said, "We will need to get Xanatos back to the computer to undo what has been done."
Over with the battle between the billionaire human and the vengeful female Gargoyle, the latter managed to push the former back. She picked up a piece of rubble and chucked it at him. The man raised his cybernetic covered arm and blocked the piece of debris. But it still managed to knock him off his feet. Xanatos landed on his knees and started to get up. Demona picked up an even bigger piece of rubble and carried it over to smash it on the human. But just as she was about to, a figure came running in from the side and Fox kicked her in the side. Demona yowled when she was knocked away. She grunted when she fell on her back and looked up to her new foe with a glare.
Fox reached down and held her hand to her fiancé. Xanatos took notice of what she was wearing and said, "How nice of you to dress for the occasion, my dear."
"Hard to believe this old thing still fits." She said as she looked down to her old Pack outfit. They looked to see Demona starting to get up again. They were about to go on the defensive when they heard Goliath shout, "Xanatos!"
They all looked to see Goliath trying to get him to come over. Remembering that the she-Gargoyle had done something to his machine, Xanatos said, "I need to go and see if I can reverse the monkey wrench she's thrown into the cogs."
"Then go. I'll handle her." Fox said when she assumed her stance to take on Demona. The two female fighters then rushed forward to meet each other head on. As the two tried to land a blow or block one from the other, Xanatos took off towards the generator.
He flew through the air and landed next to the three. Looking to the computer he questioned, "What's the damage?"
"I don't know what exactly Demona did, but the generator is starting to reach critical mass." Elisa said as she looked between it all. Xanatos removed the helmet of his suit and shook his head, "From these readings, my generator is amassing way too much power.
"Like it's drawing it all from something else." He said as he didn't understand what was going on.
…
Beneath their feet, the mirror of Titania hooked up to the generator started to glow. And as the glow started to intensify, the energy from it started move up the cables towards the ceiling.
…
Back on the upper level, the battle continued to rage between man and Gargoyle. Fox ducked under a claw swipe from Demona before trying to land a punch to her gut. But the female Gargoyle was quick to catch her fist with her claws before tripping her up with her tail. Fox grunted when she fell to the floor. But before Demona could attack further, she was knocked into from behind by Coyote. As the female Gargoyle moved to get some distance, the robot helped Fox back onto her feet. The former leader of the Pack looked to the current and said, "Nice of you to assist me."
"Likewise." Coyote said, thinking of how she had jumped in to help them. They turned their attention back to Demona. The vengeful she-Gargoyle remained wary of her two adversaries as they slowly approached her. Demona looked for something that would turn the odds back to her favor. It was when she noticed down to a little behind the two is when she saw her small blaster. With a growl she rushed forward. Both Fox and Coyote were put on the defensive as she came at them.
But instead of attacking them, Demona used a piece of rubble to launch herself into the air. Opening her wings she glided over them before dropping down next to her weapon. She spun around while picking up the blaster with her tail. Placing it in her hands when she faced them again. With a savage grin she opened fire on them. Fox and Coyote quickly jumped out of the way as the blasts came at them. With them distracted for the time being, Demona turned her attention over to the console. She gasped when she saw Xanatos trying to undo her hard work. But a smirk quickly replaced her shock when she saw that some of those that she hated were gathered in one spot.
She took aim at them and prepared to fire. Fox looked up and gasped when she saw Demona about to fire on her fiancé. Looking to the robot she shouted, "Stop her!"
"On it." Coyote responded and raised his arm. A small weapon raised up from a compartment and it fired a psionic wave. The attack reached her and Demona cried out from the pain her brain was feeling. She fell on one knee from the effects. But she didn't let it stop her from pulling the trigger. But her aim was off because of the psionic attack and she moved her hand a little to the right. A red blast erupted from the gun and sailed right for the group at the console.
Goliath happened to see the blast coming their way and saw that Elisa and Xanatos were both in the line of fire. Time seemed to slow down as he moved to get them out of the way. He pushed into the two human's with a, "No!"
While he did push Elisa and Xanatos out of the way, he ended up taking the hit as the blast struck him. The laser blast hit the purple Gargoyle in the side and earning a pained roar from him. Goliath crashed against the console before hitting the ground while Coyote's psionic attack on Demona ceased. When Elisa collected herself, she gasped when she saw Goliath lying there and shouted, "Goliath!"
"Lad!" Hudson cried out in panic. They moved closer to the injured Gargoyle and he groaned while clutching his side. Hudson carefully tried to move his friend's hands to take a look and Elisa gasped when she saw that it was looking pretty bad.
Over from her spot, Demona groaned while rubbing her head. She looked up and became elated when she saw Goliath laying there on the ground. And with Elisa and Hudson also there and they were distracted, she felt like she had the perfect opportunity to take them out too. She raised her weapon to take aim again, but an angry bark from the side. The female Gargoyle looked and became shocked to see a certain Gargoyle Beast flying right at her. Bronx knocked into Demona and caused the weapon to once again fall from her claws.
The other three Gargoyles rushed up to the console after finishing their fights and saw Goliath lying there. With a worried look Brooklyn tried to ask, "Is he-"
"He's alive for now." Hudson told them. But that didn't him any less worried as he shook his head, "But his wound is pretty bad. If don't do something now. He won't make it to dawn."
"Then we need to get him out of here." Lexington urged. But Broadway brought up a good point, "But what about the generator?"
"I can't shut it down here with the controls smashed." Xanatos said when he got up and looked at the console. Sparks flew from the busted up controls before large bolts of electricity started erupting from the generator. Lex looked to the billionaire and questioned, "What's going on?"
"The generator is amassing way too much power." Xanatos explained and they all shielded themselves and backed up when another burst of power came from the machine. He didn't sound happy when he added, "And if it goes critical mass, then bye-bye New York City."
"Any way to stop it?" Elisa asked while still kneeling next to Goliath. Xanatos shook his head, "I'd have Owen go and kill the power to the building, but I don't know where he's gotten to."
"What if we rip the generator here out of the floor or the computer?" Broadway asked, thinking of taking it from the power supply. But Lexington shook his head, "No, there's too much power now. And ripping it out could make the place go sky high."
"Not something we really want to hear." Brooklyn commented as more sparks of energy came out. The Pack and Fox rushed up to the console. But before anymore fighting could begin, a wave of energy pulsed from the generator and knocked everyone back or off their feet. Even Demona was knocked over by the wave of energy.
…
Down below them, the power of the mirror really started to overtake the circuitry as the aura from the mirror itself started to grow in intensity. It released a bright flash of light a few times.
\_|_/
Bluey's World…
It was a little later into the night when Bluey woke up, needing to take care of some business. Sitting up in her sleeping bag, she reached over and shook whom she thought was her mother and whispered, "Mum. Mum."
"Mm." Chili groaned in her sleep, but it wasn't coming from the owner of the arm that Bluey was shaking. She heard Bingo groggily ask next to her, "What's going on?"
"Oops, sorry, Bingo." Bluey offered her an apology. She then heard Chilli ask her, "Everything okay, love?"
"Yeah, I just…" Her eldest daughter started to say. Chilli seemed to figure it out and started to asked her, "Do you need to go take…"
"Yes, Mum." Bluey quickly confirmed. Chilli yawned and sat up as well. Then she said, "All right. Let's go and find us a bush."
"Can I come too?" Bingo asked when she sat up. Chilli chuckled a little and said, "The more the merrier."
"And the more gone, the better for peace and quiet." Bandit joked from where he was laying. But a quick slap to the shoulder from his wife earned a small yelp from him. The girls started to open up the tent while Chilli grabbed a hold of a lantern. She turned it on and a bright light erupted and even with his eyes closed, Bandit groaned and turned away from it. Chilli just rolled her eyes with a grin before following the girls out of the tent.
Soon they stood out in the camp grounds and looked about to make sure that they wouldn't run into anyone. Mother and daughters walked through the camping grounds with the grownup in the lead as she held up the lantern. When they were in the woods, Chilli stopped by a tree and asked, "You gonna be okay, Sweetie?"
"I'll be fine, Mum." Bluey said and walked around a tree. Chilli then looked to her youngest child and asked, "How about you, Bingo?"
"I actually want to give it a try by myself if you don't mind." Bingo politely declined. Chilli just smiled to this, "Well, you do your best, Honey. I'll be here if you girls need me."
"Okay, Mum." Bingo nodded before walking around the tree as well. Keeping an ear out for her daughters, Chilli turned around and leaned against a tree as she waited for them to finish.
…
Back in the tent, Bandit was enjoying the silence as he slept. But before he could completely conk out, he was awoken when he heard someone tapping on the fabric of the tent. He sat up with a, "Huh?"
"Hey, mister. You in there?" He heard someone, a young male Dog, ask. He could see a silhouette of the dog thanks to the light he was holding. Arching a brow, the Blue Heeler asked, "Who is it?"
"Another camper with some urgent news." The new Dog told him. Deciding to see what was up, Bandit crawled to the flap of the tent and opened it. Poking his head out, he found himself face to face with a Chocolate Labrador wearing a pack full of stuff. The Dog in front of Bandit looked a little nervous. Getting up on his own two feet Bandit asked, "What's up, mate?"
"I just heard on the radio that the Willis Brothers Gang is in the area." The Chocolate Labrador said with a worried look. Looking back he advised, "I'd gather up anyone with you and pack up to leave if I were you. It's not safe here right now."
"Thanks, mate." Bandit nodded and the other Dog nodded before taking off. As the Chocolate Labrador left, a now worried Bandit uttered to himself, "The Willis Brothers' Gang.
"I have to find Chilli and the girls." He said as he got out of the tent and quickly rushed for the woods.
…
A little further from where they had left their mother, Bluey and Bingo came upon a big tree. The older sister offered, "Do you want me to keep a look out for you?"
"Sure. And then I can do the same for you." Bingo returned the offer with a grin. With a grin of her own, Bluey nodded, "Okay."
Bingo moved to take care of her business while Bluey turned to stand watch. But the older sister looked back when the younger said, "Bluey! Come quick!"
"Huh?" Bluey asked before walking around to meet her sister. When she joined the younger Red Heeler, Bingo pointed up to the sky, "Check out the wind. It feels pretty odd."
Bluey looked up and saw leaves blowing, but instead of how the breeze normally felt, it did feel a little different. They jumped when they saw a flash of light further into the wood. Clutching onto her older sister Bingo asked, "What was that?"
"I'm not sure, Bingo." Bluey shook her head. The odd lights continued to flash and the girls were drawn to it. They didn't have to go far as they poked their heads around a tree to see what it was. They could see into a fairly big clearing and saw several sparks of lightning coming out of a small hole high up in the air. Unable to take their eyes off of it, Bingo asked, "What is it?"
"I don't know." Bluey said as the swirling light was reflected in her eyes.
…
Back with Chilli, she was still waiting for the girls to finish when she heard someone coming. The female Red Heeler was a little surprised to see Bandit out here. The male Blue Heeler stopped in front of her and panted from the running. Chilli arched a brow when she asked, "Bandit? What's going on to make you run so hard?
"It's even not that far of a walk." She pointed out as she thought of the distance from the tent. When he had regained his breath, Bandit told her, "We need to get the girls and get out of here."
"What? Why?" Chilli questioned as she didn't understand. Her husband explained, "Someone just warned me that the Willis Brothers' Gang was reported to have been seen in the area."
"Oh, no." Chilli said, now worried for her family's safety. She moves around the tree and calls out, "Girls?"
But she was shocked to find that they were no longer there. Chilli and Bandit looked about and called their daughters' names, "Bluey!
"Bingo!" They looked around multiple trees to try and find any sign of them. But the two parent's didn't. Looking back, the Blue Heeler saw the Red Heeler starting to shake with worry. Bandit wrapped his arms around Chilli and promised her, "We're going to find them.
"They couldn't have gotten too far." He added to give her some hope. Putting on a smile he said, "Come on. Let's keep looking for them."
"Right." Chilli nodded before the two took off to keep looking for their kids.
\_|_/
Gargoyles World…
Back on the Gargoyle's world everyone had all landed on the ground a few feet from the generator and groaned as they picked themselves up again. Just about everyone sat up and looked to the generator. They gasped when a few bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from the machine. They arcs of electricity soon transformed themselves into a swirling, white portal. Broadway made an obvious deduction, "Uh, I don't think it was supposed to do that."
"No, it's not." Both Xanatos and Lexington said in unison. They were all caught off guard when the portal started to pull things in. Xanatos looked to the others and said, "We need to evacuate, now!"
"Help me, lads." Hudson shouted as he tried to get Goliath off the ground. The trio and Elisa tried to get the purple Gargoyle to his feet but the sound of a gun cocking made them look up with wide eyes. A smirking Demona stood at the top of some rubble and she had a dark grin, "None of you are going anywhere."
But before she could open fire on them, another shockwave erupted from the portal and once again knocked everyone off their feet. A second later, the power of the winds picked up and started to pull just about everything in; ranging from debris to humans to Gargoyles. While Hudson, the trio and Bronx tried to use their claws to keep a grip on the floor, Elisa saw Goliath being sucked in. She let go of her hold as she cried out, "Goliath!"
"Elisa!" The others cried out as she flew to him. The detective managed to grab a hold of him but was unable to stop them both from getting closer to the portal. She thought that they were going to get sucked in when a clawed hand managed to grab a hold of hers. Elisa looked back and smiled when she saw the others forming a Gargoyle chain with Lexington holding on to her and Bronx holding onto the floor with Hudson's arm around him trying to keep them grounded.
They weren't the only ones that were getting close to being sucked in. Xanatos had his arm around Fox to keep her from flying in while Hyena fought to keep her brother with her. Coyote and Dingo each lent a hand to keep Wolf on the ground. The only one who didn't have someone was Demona as she was fighting to keep herself pressed against the ground.
But it would seem that fate had a cruel sense of humor at the time when claws of either flesh or metal started to slide towards the portal. Hyena ended up losing her grip on the floor and she and her brother screamed as they were sucked into the portal. The two went into the tunnel and disappeared with a flash. The tiles underneath Coyote and Dingo's fingers broke, sending them and Wolf in after the siblings.
Xanatos' metallic claws lost their grip on the floor and he and his fiancé were sucked in as well. A couple more flashes indicated that they were gone. The only ones remaining were Elisa, the Manhattan Clan and the Gargoyles' former clanmate. Demona saw the group of those she hated and tried to crawl out of there to leave them all to die. But the moment she lifted her claws to pull herself away, the female Gargoyle cried out when she lost her grip and was sent flying towards the portal. But before she could go in, Demona managed to grab a hold of Elisa's leg. The detective cried out from the extra weight while the Gargoyle holding her tried to keep his grip on her wrist. Even Bronx was having more trouble trying to stay rooted to the floor.
Seeing the worst of the situation, Demona looked between Elisa and the wounded Goliath. Her eyes glowed red and she snarled, "If I must go down, then I'll be glad to take the two of you with me."
She raised her claws to carry out her vow. But before she could touch her former mate or the human detective, Bronx lost his grip on the floor and all eight of them were sent flying into the portal. They all disappeared screaming into the swirling vortex.
\_|_/
Bluey's World…
Before the two young Heeler girls, they gasped when they saw the hole in the sky start to growl in size. A second later, it seemed like a multitude of white lights appeared in the vortex. A second later, the white lights erupted and they went every which way across the sky. Some went further than others while three of them crashed down in the clearing in front of the girls.
\_|_/
Gargoyle's World, Outside the Vortex…
Back on their end of the tunnel after everyone had been sucked in, a new character had arrived on the scene. The new being had long white hair, pointed ears, silver eyes, a red tunic with gold trimmings around the collar and sleeves covered with a purple sash that was tied by an orange band, a couple of manacles on his wrists, a pair of bluish pants and red boots that had the same gold trimmings at the top. Flying up to the destabilizing portal, Puck was about to do something for the group of universe travelers. But his eyes widened when he heard a voice from the swirling vortex start to chant a spell…
To these humans and creatures few, with such bright colors and different hues
Whether they be boy or girl, allow them to blend into whichever world into that they whirl
For in light of this new surprise, to walk a mile in another's disguise
He had to shield himself when the portal flashed again before closing. When he looked to where the portal had been, Puck could hardly believe his ears when he shook his head, "It can't be him."

In the Void…
In the vortex to who knows where, almost everyone cried out as they fell through the tunnel. The sounds of the spell started a reaction within the tunnel. Small bolts of lightning struck them, but it didn't cause any harm to them. But it did cause a magical aura to glow around them for a moment and odd shapes came over the majority of them. The glowing faded as they continued through the tunnel before reaching the other end. But just as they reached the end, a white glow enveloped them all before the exited the vortex. When they emerged, the multitude of white lights stayed in the sky for a moment before dispersing to the ground below. Each streaks of light with someone inside sent to a different destination.

The Manhattan Trio…
After traveling through the vortex, Brooklyn, Broadway and Lexington were lying face down on the ground. All three Gargoyles groaned from the experience that they just had as they sat up. Brooklyn looked to the other two and asked, "You guys alright?"
"Yeah, I think so." Broadway nodded as he rubbed the top of his aching head. Lexington rubbed the back of his neck with one hand and moved the other along the ground. It was then that his eyes opened wide to what he was feeling beneath his palm. He looked down with a confused, "Huh?"
The green Gargoyle found that they were sitting on dirt. Looking to his rookery brothers he asked, "Um, when did we get outside?"
"What?" Broadway and Brooklyn asked when they looked to him. It was then that they all looked around and saw that they were in the middle of a forest and looked up to the sky and the stars above. Brooklyn sounded really worried when he said, "I don't think we're in New York anymore."
But unbeknownst to the three of them, the three young Gargoyles were being watched by two pairs of eyes from behind a tree.

Author's Note: I'm actually looking forward to write this story, if I'm honest. I do feel bad that the Gargoyles part kind of overtook the majority of this chapter, but a good deal of the story will be in Bluey's world. But to be fair, it's not really Gargoyles without a high stakes battle. Next chapter both universes will be fully colliding into one another. This story is taking place before the City of Stone story arc from Gargoyles in Season 2. We will be covering a majority of the episodes from Bluey starting from season 1. Plus, there will be some twists that I want to do. I can't promise consistent updates on the story, but I'll do my best to update it. I look forward to reading your reviews. Be sure to leave a comment either about if I've done something wrong or if you want something specifically to happen. See you next time.
