THE STORY WITH NO NAME
BY~KHRYSTA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gliding aimlesly in a world she does not yet understand,she perches on a large building to rest . The lights, sounds and smells are all so strange and new, frightening and exilerating at the same time.
''Humans...they are the cause of this, they are the cause of everything!"She thinks,
"I cannot believe all that has happend to me ,all these years..."
She lookes around at her new suroundings and she spies the most intriguing tower she has ever seen . A large time keeping device of some sort by the look of it... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

980A.D.
Two young gargoyles gliding as fast as they can, spiraling,swooping and diving, trying to out manouver each other, play an arial game of tag as only two young gargoyles can.
"You'er making this too easy Blondie! Come on slow poke! Keep up!"Yelled the female.
"Slow down..."Cried the male.
"I thought you said you could not be beaten... especialy by a girl!"
"THAT... was before I knew... I was racing you!"he panted.
"It is getting late, the sun'll be up soon.I think we should return to the castle." The girl said.
"Y-YES!" Panted the poor winded little male.
The sight they saw when they returned to the castle was that of pure terror, many gargoyles were surrounded by a hellish red glow. The two poor hatchlings were terrified at what they saw :The clan was being attacked by Orcs. The male was scared and confused, then he heard the most horrifing scream he will ever hear, it echoed through his body and made his brain rattle: the female was surrounded by the red glow.

"Help!"She yelled.
"What can I do?"He demanded helplessly.
He looked into the terror in his friend's eyes and was overcome with hatred .His judgment clouded,he dived at the Orc mage that held his friend hostage.
"LET HER GO!!" He screamed.
The Orc was much stronger then the young gargoyle and he threw him across the court yard , he slammed right into a wall and was knocked unconscious and numb....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Brooklyn!" called Broadway.
Brooklyn groaned "What!"
"Hey ... easy, I just wanted to know if you wanted to play computer"
"Maybe ..later"Brooklyn mumbled as he stepped outside.
"What is wrong, you are distracted ."Hudson spoke as he walked toward Brooklyn.
"Bad dreams" Brooklyn hissed. "I don't mean to be disrespectful,Hudson, but I'd like to be alone, alright?"
Hudson sighed, "Very well."He turned and left.
Brooklyn stood outside contemplating his dream...
That's the fourth time this week I've had that dream...What does it mean!! Is she in danger? Is she back!? Brooklyn sighed. This is stupid! What am I doing out here , thinking about this?...
"Hey Broadway ! I bet I could beat you on that new Kung-Fu computer game!"Brooklyn called walking into the clock tower...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is the most beautiful creation I have ever seen..! She thought ,"I must see it !"
Without thinking, she rose to her feet and jumped off of the corner of the building . Falling, she waited for the wind to catch her wings. Following the current, she turned toward the tower.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi guys,Where is Goliath?" Elisa Maza asked as she entered the clock tower through the trap door.
"He is in the library with Hudson and Angela." Answered Lexington, who was watching Brooklyn and Broadway duke it out on the computer.
"Thanks Lex"
"Uh-hun..." He moaned in reply.
"Goliath..."Elisa called .
"Elisa!" Goliath smiled as he walked towards her. " What a nice suprise, we have not seen you for nights . How are you on this night?"
"I'm fine"
"Lass! It is good to see you."Hudson said.
"Hello Elisa!" Angela said.
Bronx barked happily,and licked her hand.
"I think Bronx is hungry.I'll go feed him . Back in a sec!" Elisa took Bronx and headed to the kitchen.
There was a small thud...
"Goliath!"Hudson whispered ,drawing his sword."Did ya hear that?"
"Yes" He said looking around. Then he saw a shadow.
"Hudson...Over there!" Angela pointed to the shadow.
` "Aye. I see it ..."
Angela charged at it, but the figure was too fast and it darted away and pounced on Angela's back, causing her to hit the floor.
"Come on out!" Called Hudson.
"Don't hurt me..." The figure wimpered in a pitiful voice, it was trembling and huddled in a corner.
"We shan't hurt you if you don't harm us." Goliath said rising Angela from the floor. "Show yourself "
The figure was silent, as if contemplating the situation.
"Very well... What choice do I have?" Slowly the figure rose. Gracefully, quietly she stepped forward out of the safety and comfort of the darkness. Drawing back, the shadows revealed a young female gargoyle .The three other Gargoyles gasped at what they saw ,for they thought that there were no other gargoyles in Manhatten other than the ones they knew about.

Just then, Lexington,Broadway and Brooklyn walked into the room. Lex noticed the visitor immidiatly.
" I won,I won,I won."Brooklyn sang while doing an odd little victory dance.
"You Cheated...!" Broadway yelled.
"Did not!!"
"DID TOO!!!"
"Uh... guys!"Lex whispered ,motioning to the new-comer.
"You'er just jealous that I am the greatest computer game player our kind has ever seen..."
"The only thing I'm jealous of is your ability to lie and not be ashamed!"
"Good comeback..."Brooklyn commented sarcastically.
"Brook... Broadway.... Hello ...Guys! "
"YOU CHEATED!!!!"
"LOOK ! I don't have to take this abuse. I-" Brooklyn turned and noticed the girl.
"I...I-I don't believe it..."
Her eyes filled with tears when she reconized the speaker.
"By the Dragon..!" She whispered, stunned.
After a few moments of confusion and silent questions,the female ran to Brooklyn,hugged him and wrapped her wings around him,causing him to stumble backwards to regain his balance. After a second of silence on Brooklyn's part he wrapped his wings around her. Everyone looked at him as if to say "Explain" But all he could manage was a look that seemed to say "Uuhh...","Ooohhh...shit...!" ,"Beats the HELL out of me!"and "It's a long story." at the same time.

Just then, Elisa came into the room and saw the visitor.
"A-hem"Elisa coughed.
The visitor turned towards Elisa and her eyes lit up a blue-gray-white in color as she let go of Brooklyn. She spat out a low hiss and crouched down low to the ground, ready to pounce.
" Human..."
"What-?"Elisa tried to explain she was a friend but it was to no avail.
With a high pitched scream signaling her motives to attack,she pounced at Elisa and caught her by the arm. With one flowing movement she pulled Elisa close to her and twisted the human's arm around to her back. Elisa tried to fight back but that just made the visitor tighten her hold.
"Stop this at once." Goliath roared.
"Let go of her..." Broadway yelled.
"Humans are evil ..."She said "Humans are sneaky ...Humans destroyed our kind...Humans--"
"Elisa is our friend." Goliath counterd, freeing Elisa from the new-comer's grasp.
"You have befriended a human ?" She cried.
"Yes." Goliath answerd simply.
"Calm down--"Brooklyn tried to sooth the female but to no avail.
"Tell her to explain herself ..."
"She already has!" Broadway said. "But what about you...? Who are you?"
"If you must know..." She turned to face everyone. "I am not in the mood for blood shed anyway..." She said ,staring right at Elisa, then looked away.
"I am Khrysta,student of the Majyck Arts and slave to the Orcs." Slowly Khrysta raised a hand and a screen appeared before all the others showing various parts of her life.
"My story ,like all stories, has a beginning and a middle ,which we are a part of, and has an end ,though we have not reached that part. When the Orc Clan known as"Massacre" attacked Castle Wyvern , they were seaching for Gargoyles with potent majyckal powers ,that is why they took my real mother and I ,not to mention others."

"I was personal mage to N'Grall Bonescar, the leader. I was kept there for years in what an Orc would call paradise but any civil creature would call prison. I was kept in a tent with two guards standing outside protecting me. As far as I could tell, I was put in an Orc Queen bed tent. It was decorated with filthy skins, stringy furs and slimy bones. It smelled like a sick mix of vomit, sweat, blood, rotting skin, feces and urine. Many times, Bonescar had asked me to rule by his side and my answer was always the same : I would rather die a slow, painful, torturous death. However, their was a trick in this answer. I wasn't going to die a sweet, little,innocent virgin...and I certenly wasn't going to be profained with Orc ....love. The result? N'Grall was stuck with me and I was stuck with him."

"Finally ,something inside me snapped and I rallied all the prisoners to overthrow Bonescar. It worked but unfortunatly he escaped. After that I decided to go back to castle Wyvern and I came to this time by accident and was found by a man called David Xanatose..."

"I did not trust him from the beginning, so I decided keep a close eye on him. One day he was in the other room with his assistent, (A Mr. Owen I believe,) and I heard him talk very low to him and heard this..."

Magically, Khrysta's voice was replaced by Xanatose's and Bronx growled .

"If she is all alone, she probably wants the companionship of the rest of her kind, Goliath's clan. If I told her they were here, perhaps she will look for them then we follow her and Bingo! We will know the location of their sancutary."

Her voice normal, she continued : " If their was indeed other Gargoyles here, I did want to find them, but not betray them. . .I resent all who use me for their own pleasure, gain or profit, first N'Grall, now a pitiful human. Making myself invisable to his detectors I left..." She put her arm down and the screen vanished." ...and here I am."

"Like we believe that!" Broadway scoffed. "C'mon guys you don't... believe... that ...do..you?? " Broadway looked around and saw that the rest of the clan (minus Angela) was entranced by the new female. "Well obviously I was wrong, you guys are even more gullible then I thought."

Brooklyn came to his senses "C'mon Broadway, this isn't the weirdest thing that has happened to our clan. Remember the Pack or the Eye of Odin. And Elisa's brother was turned into a giant flying cat with lightning coming out of his hands. So give the kid a chance."

"Of course you'd defend her, she's your hatchling-hood sweet-heart." Broadway mused. "Well I guess she ends the Angela conflict and looks like I won! She looks like your type anyway Brooklyn, A shameless lier."

"Why you..."Brooklyn's eyes began to light up.
"Um, Blondie?" Khrysta spoke up and Lex snickered at the lable 'Blondie' "I appreciate you trying to defened my honor, but I fight my own battles." With a menacing smile, she stepped forward cracking her knuckles. " C'mon Fat-boy. Let's see what you've got."

"Fat-boy?!" Broadway growled and lunged forward, talons spread, aiming for Khrysta's heart.

Khrysta looked less than impressed, with a flick of the wrist and an odd mummble, Broadway began to glow a soft blue light, then he floated off the floor.

"Hey! Lemme down!" Broadway's eyes began to glow.
"Oh my--Broadway!" Angela was hyperventalating.
"Ha! No Majyck Huh!" Brooklyn was laughing uncontrolably.
"Neat!" Lex said to himself.
"Enough!!" Goliath roared.
"Arrat'nah" Khrysta whispered exasparated, and with that, Broadway thupped down on his butt.
"Why I otta-" Spat Broadway,rubbing his bottom.
"The age old threat." Brooklyn mused.
"Shut up.''
"Awww... Did chubbsy-wubbsy baby get his pride wounded?" Khrysta cooed innocently. "A little tip Jelly-belly,Never underestimate a female." She turned and came face to face with Angela
"You have some nerve, y'know that!" Angela yelled to Khrysta.
"And...?" Khrysta seemed to be waiting for Angela to say something more. Khrysta sighed. " ...your point is...?"
" Y'know...," Broadway smirked "... now that I look at her, she looks kinda like Demona." He knew that comment would get his rookery brother pissed off as soon as he said "Demona".
"She does not..." Brooklyn yelled " Don't insult her." He spoke more quietly.

All the gargoyles and the human looked upon her features: a strange combination of light, pail, gray, soft, ice blue covered her body. Her hair indeed did look like Demona's, only it was cut short, and jet black. Her clothes were similar to Demona's only they had a tinge of bright red. Her wings had hooks like Goliath's with a silhouetting, clear, gray membrain, and when caped, they draged along the floor. She had three small hornes along each blue, cold, coniving, sweet, innocent eye. Around her slender neck was a thick chain of solid gold. Hanging from it was a large, round, black jewel, which seemed to shimmer almost unearthly with magic. Hanging from her belt was a bundle of other small, bright jewles.

"I don't like being stared at." She spoke flatly,then with curiosity"Demona? Who's Demona?"
"Goliath's 'Loving' mate." Brooklyn growled " Kinda like my version of N'Grall."
"You mean, she kidnapped you, made you sleep in a urine soaked tent, and asked you to rule by her side as her Queen." Khrysta asked tartly.
"Tushe!" Lex piped up,amused that the most sarcastic Gargoyle in the clan was out done by a bitchy, moody, female Gargoyle hellcat.
"I like him." Khrysta smiled,,jerking her thumb towards Lex. "Who is he?"
"That's Lexington,We all call him Lex." Brooklyn said "That's Broadway, Angela, Hudson, Bronx and I... am Brooklyn." Brooklyn caped his wings and bowed.
"Impressive." Khrysta yawned.
"Ya got her wrapped around yer' little finger now Lover-Boy ." Lex whisperd to Brooklyn.
"Far from it." Khrysta countered. And for a moment Khrysta was swept by a wave of dizziness, but she recoverd quickly and no one seemed to notice.
"Come, the sun is about to rise." Goliath called, exiting the Tower.

As the sun rose, Brooklyn looked toward Khrysta,who reminded him of a gargoyle version of Aphrodite. the greek goddess of love.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I was so close!" A dark female howled angrily,her eyes glowing a blinding red.
"We were so close, my love." Spoke an even darker male.
"Of course, Thailog." Demona turned towards her mate.
"With all that money we could have gotten from McBeth..."
"But Goliath had thwarted us again... If I ever see him again, I'm going to take him and shove my laser cannon right up his--*AAAAAAHHHHHHH*......!!!" Demona screamed in pain and fell to the floor.
"Night Angel !? What is the matter?"
Demona seemed to recover, unhurt but out of breath.
"Uh..., Some ...sort of ...Magical {Gasp}...backlash... A source of ...great power..."She sputtered. "I must find it's source!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking out into the New York sky was something Khrysta never have contimplated. She sat on the clock tower railing, with her arms hugging her knees to her chest. The cool winter breeze was refreshing to her senses, it played with her short charcoal hair and tickled her wing tips. The reflections of the moon, stars, and city lights all danced in her eyes. As the first snowflake started to fall, Khrysta majesticaly held out her hand to catch it. More snow fell, and over time it became caught in her hair and it seemed to shimmer like a thousand diamonds in the night sky.

To Brooklyn, New York City had never looked so beautiful.

"You are not hidden, I can hear you." Khrysta's back was facing Brooklyn,who was standing in the doorway.
"I was afraid I'd disturb you... I'll leave if you want to be alone." Brooklyn spoke softly.
"We are the only ones here, no need to be so hushed. Come,sit."
Brooklyn jumped up onto his pedistal and sat. He saw that her eyes were closed. No one spoke.
" You find this peaceful,do you?" Khrysta sighed.
"Don't you?"
"It is all the same to me."
"You seem destracted" Brooklyn looked at her.
"I have learned how to drift away,let my mind and soul wander to ...other places. Leave my body behind. For the body is a shell, a shield for the soul, that is all."She opened her eyes.
" No more,no less."
"You'er lucky, you have a beautiful shell--I mean-...." Brooklyn sputtered.
" Why do you stutter?"She smiled. Then resumed her expressionless gaze at the city. "I know what you are thinking."
"You can do that?"
Khrysta dropped the majestic tone of voice and growled."How do you think I got away from Bonescar or stayed clear of Xanatos' plot?"
"Luck...?"
She scoffed. "Yes,Luck... Luck just happened to fall in my path countless times. Luck captured me and took me to N'Grall. Luck took me from my clan. Luck just happened to dash all my dreams..." She snarled fiercely.
"And I thought I was sarcastic." Brooklyn commented.
"Never make assumptions of oneself without being aware of all the facts"
"What?"
"Nothing." She said, playing with the snow that gathered on the clock-tower balcony.
"Jeez, you sure don't talk alot."
"Nothin' to say."
"You did when we were young and-"
She cut him off "Naive..? Ignorent....stupid...? I have matured since then,Blondie"
"Not much... Y'still call me 'Blondie' " He looked over at her,but it wasn't her he saw. It was a large snowball with his name on it. Brooklyn tried to duck but it was too late and it exploded in his face. With his thumb and middle-finger, Brooklyn flicked a clump of snow of the top of his beak. Khrysta was in hystarics. Brooklyn rose and lunged for her. She jumped off of the railing in time to escape his attack and rode the cold wind currents, with him in persuit. Now two young gargoyles gliding as fast as they can, spiraling,swooping and diving, trying to out-manouver each other, play an arial game of tag as only two young gargoyles can.

"You'er making this too easy Blondie! Come on slow poke! Keep up!"Yelled the female.
"Slow down..."Cried Brooklyn.
"I thought you said you could not be beaten... especialy by a girl!"
Brooklyn rose high into the sky then pulled his wings close to his body to speed up his descent. He grabbed Khrysta as he passed her.
"I can't be!"
"Wha-?!" Khrysta gasped at the unexpected turn of events.
"So, A bit rusty,are we?"
"Actually..." She drawled. "I've got you right where I want you."
"Really?" He asked suspiciosly.
"You've learned some new tricks haven't you?"
"Yeah...?"
"So have I" and with that, Khrysta dissapered,leaving only an echo of the word"I"
"What... the...?"
Puzzled by the fact that his friend vanished into thin air, Brooklyn was completly oblivious to the fact that she reappeared on the Brooklyn Bridge.
"Down here Blondie!"
"The Brooklyn Bridge" Brooklyn thought,amused "How fitting."
Khrysta ran and Brooklyn ran after her. Gathering all his strength,Brooklyn pounced and tripped Khrysta. They slid across the icy road for a few seconds before they had a chance to regain their breath. Brooklyn could feel the snow softly landing on his back. Khrysta turned to face Brooklyn. Both breathing heavily,they leaned closer to each other and kissed,slowly.

It was Brooklyn's first kiss,well, real kiss. Angela kissed him once or twice, but it didn't mean anything because of Broadway. Well,Broadway may have had a girl first, but Brooklyn was going farther then Broadway ever has . Back at Castle Wyvern, he would listen to the older males bragging about how 'good' they were and take mental notes, When the time came,he thought one of them should be prepared. When Angela came, Brooklyn and Broadway had a bet who would 'get laid' first.
Broadway owes me $50

Khrysta was amazed that it actually seemed she knew what she was doing. This was her first time. She was the human equivalant to 17 and this was her first time? Well you don't have time to form a bond and loving relationship with someone when you'er a slave. Her mind shut off and she gave up logical thinking for his embrace.
"Can I die now?" she asked,smiling.
Brooklyn shrugged. "Guess so."

. She gently ran her fingertips up and down his back. It made Brooklyn tingle and his wings shivered. As Brooklyn reached down for his belt buckle, Khrysta wrapped her legs around him and they entwined their tails. Brooklyn barely got his belt loosend when a sharp, hot feeling stung his wing and he flew through the sky, nearly missing his chance to grab onto a cable that was holding the bridge secure.

"That was quick." He spat agitated. He looked up to see Demona with her laser cannon. He climed back onto the bridge and checked to see if Khrysta was alright.

"Demona..." Brooklyn growled,his eyes white with hatered. "Don't you know not to bug people at work?"
"So... that's Demona. Huh, not very impressive." Khrysta mused "How come when we are playing tag,something always happens to spoil the fun?"
"First the Orcs,now this...Just lucky, I guess."Brooklyn spoke.
"Alas,your luck has run out." Demona said flatly. She threw a small granade full of sleeping gas. The two Gargoyles began to caugh and choke until they could fight it no more. The last thing either of them recall is Demona standing over them, gloating.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cracking out of his stone sleep, Brooklyn look around in confusion and in a flood of memories, of the last night events came to him. He immidiatly glided to the tower.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coming out of the gas effects,Khrysta's head was in a fog.
"I'm so glad you awoke." Demona cooed, playing with the Black Stone.
"Why am I here?"Khrysta demaned.
"You are probably not aware of it, but you hold a great power within you-"
"Yeah right-I'm captive for ten years because of majyck and I'm unaware of my power."

As Demona explained crap that unintrested Khrysta, she begain to look around at her surroundings: Steel handcuffs,Crude but efficient.
"...and that rupture on the astral plain was a magical backlash that alerted me to your existance. You must have also felt it?"
Khrysta relized what that nausia was..A backlash!
"That?! And all this time ...I thought it was my menstral cycle!" Khrysta wanted to see what Demona's limits were.
"You were not hard to find."
"I wasn't particularly attempting to hide."
"I came across you as you were expressing your love to Brooklyn,which was a rather ugly sight..."
"Y'wanna see ugly? Look in a mirror."
Demona walked right up to Khrysta and growled. "Tell me why I shouldn' t kill you now?"
Khrysta caughed. "Because,Miss Psycopathic-homicidal-murderer-attempting-to-cause-an-apocalyptic-genocide-on-the-entire-human-race-who-needs-a-tic-tac... If I die, my powers die as well."
"Well, we'll just see about that."
"Do you really want to chance it?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where are they?" Asked an aggitated Goliath.
Just when Goliath was about to search for them,Brooklyn glided up to the tower balcony.
"Khrysta...In trouble...Demona...gotta save...her..."Brooklyn panted.
"Gotta save Demona?" Broadway asked.
"NO you @$$hole!" Brooklyn yelled "Khrysta!"
"Right,"Goliath said.

Within 20 minutes the rest of the clan where at Demona's mansion. As they landed on the roof, Goliath was about to start to give directions but Brooklyn punched a hole in the roof and jumped onto the top floor of Demona's home.

"Demona!" Brooklyn screamed. "Where are you!?"
"Brooklyn?" He faintly heard Khrysta call for him.
"This way." He pointed to the right, ran ahead and was followed by the others.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So,your precious Brooklyn is here?" Demona snarled.
"You'er not a very good hostess, Demona, no chairs to sit on, no entertainment, trying to kill your guests..."Khrysta listed.
Just then ,Brooklyn burst throught the door,followed by the rest of the clan.
"Khrysta, you O.K.?"
"Sure, don't worry about me. I'm locked up and I can't feel my arms. I'm super."
"Good. Demona! Let her go."
"Unlikely,she is key to my plan. This gem holds more power then Merlyn, the Grimorum, Megus, The Pheonix gate and the Eye of Odin combind. If I fuse with it, I will have untold magic power. "
"Boy,That could put a damper on your day." Khrysta commented."Demona, It won't work, I resent all who use me for their own gain or prophit. I'd be a great help if someone would free me!"
Goliath did as she asked.
Rubbing her wrists, Khrysta walked up and tried to reason with Demona. "Demona, listen... the only way I could control the Black Stone was because I am a natural mage. It will tear you apart. I could bearly control it for a time." Khrysta was actualy sincere.
"No! This will work." Demona screamed, cluching the gem and beginning to chant odd words. A green smoke began filling the room. A miniature hurricane erupted and thunder and lightning was all around
"No!" Khrysta yelled "We can't let this happen."
"What can we do?" Brooklyn yelled back.
"You're too late!" Demona cried.
"There is one way I can stop you Demona, the power is also in me." She steped forward, blinked back tears and looked towards the clan. "Good-bye,Brooklyn."

With her head downcast,her eyes closed and her tears caught in her eye lashes,Khrysta slowly raised her arms and chanted, it was a whisper and it grew to a roar and a soft blue light encased her. She began to levitate off the floor and the lights in the mansion dimmed, then grew unbearably bright and resumed their normal look. Khrysta screamed, a sound that terrified Brooklyn, for he had heard it before: That night at Castle Wyvern. Silence. They looked around the room and saw an unconsious Demona and an unconsious Khrysta. Unconsious? Or dead?

Brooklyn rushed to Khrysta's side."Khrysta? Khrys? It's me, Blond-er...Brooklyn... Say something? The sun,Yes. It will heal you. Khrys..?"
Just when Brooklyn was about to say good-bye, Khrysta awoke.
"Brook...?"She said in a weak, small voice.
"W-What?" Brooklyn was amazed.
"It had to be this way. I'm sorry. If I ...died, my...power would... die... as well." She was gasping for air.
"But you're not dead!" Brooklyn cried.
"I had to say good-bye...What kind ...of guest..would I be...if I...died... without...saying... good-bye...That be...bad ...manners "
"But y'can't die...y-you're still a..."Brooklyn blushed "Virgin."
" Well, the other... night was the closest... I've ever been...(Cough) what..about you?"
Brooklyn coughed and cleared his throat.
"Remember,the body is only a shell. My soul will be...in that other place now..." She looked over toward Demona.
"...She...will remember... nothing of this(Cough)Broadway...I'm sorry...you're a good friend...Angela...you are very caring...that's hard to find ....nowadays.(Cough)Brooklyn...I..will see you in...your dreams...Perhaps we will meet again...in another...life...but not...again in...this..one..." Slowly Khrysta vanished. Angela was sobbing and holding Broadway,Bronx howled as a tribute and the four other males were silent.

Demona stirred " Oh..."
Brooklyn whirled around with glowing eyes and tried to charge at Demona, but Goliath restrained him.
"YOU!! You Killed Her!!Let go of me, Goliath! I want to cleve her heart out!" Brooklyn yelled with malice.
"W-what?Goliath? What are you doing here?" Demona asked.
"Lets go home." Goliath said.
"Go Home?!" Brooklyn Cried. "She just killed the only person that ever gave a shit about me, and you want to go home!?"
"We cannot bring Khrysta back. Killing Demona will not help-" Goliath tried to reason with Brooklyn but that was uneventful.
"I ain't stupid Goliath, I know it won't change anything!"
"Brooklyn, please ..." Angela sobbed "...let's go home."
Brooklyn looked around, eyes blazing. Confused,angry and hurt Brooklyn screamed in pain, pushed past Broadway and Goliath and crashed out the window, following the wind currents.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brooklyn was perched on the roof of an old abandoned warehouse in the Bronx, mourning his loss. It was quiet, peaceful, and to Brooklyn, unbearable torture. The silence was shatterd by the terrified scream of a young woman. Brooklyn went to investegate. He arrived on the scene in time to see a woman being mugged.
Crap...I ain't in no mood to play hero tonight. Thought Brooklyn as he lunged for the attacker. The punk had a gun and shot five rounds at the gargoyle. He was obviously new at this because he missed Brooklyn with each shot. Brooklyn pinned the man to the alley wall and punched him out.
"Y'okay ma'am?" Brooklyn asked the lady, who was nowhere in sight. Brooklyn sighed and walked deeper into the alley. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a faint glitter on the ground . He walked over to it, and saw it was the gun. Brooklyn picked it up and looked at it. He checked to see if any bullets were left in it. One. He could stop his pain,end it all with that little pellet. He wouldn't be missed: Angela didn't want him, she had Broadway, Lex had the computer and his Net pals, Bronx and Hudson had each other and Goliath had Elisa and Khrysta...was dead. He held the barrel of the gun to his head, swallowed, closed his eyes, and pulled the trigger.
Click.
He opened his eyes and pulled the trigger again.
Click...Click...Click...
The damn thing was jammed! Frusterated, Brooklyn chucked the gun into the dumpster...
Bang!!
SHIT!! Brooklyn thought to himself as he listened to the echo of the gun.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooklyn was the first to arrive at the clock tower, or perhaps he didn't notice the others. He saw the horizon brighten to the oncoming sun. As he prepared for his stone sleep, it seemed unfair to him that the world went on in it's usual way without even knowing that they would have been destroyed if not for the efforts of a young female gargoyle, who lived through the torment of others and died by her own hand...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Epilogue
Sneaking into the police station wasn't the hard part for this tall human as she ran her hand through her short jet black hair, nor was finding the entrance to the clock tower balcony. The hard part was saying good-bye to the only person who ever gave a shit about her. Gracefully and quietly she stepped forward out of the safety and comfort of the darkness and walked toward a beaked, long-haired gargoyle.

As his stone skin fell around him, Brooklyn was puzzled at the amulate around his neck. Bronx jumped of his pedistal, turned toward the clock face, jumped and barked happily. The figure atop the tower put her finger to her lips."Shhhh..."
