Elisa, with crutches, Athena, with her arm in a sling for show, and Jason were trying to make their way up the tower before the sunsets. When they reached the top, there was a man standing there. Elisa, Jason, and Athena knew they had to get him out of here before the sunsets.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" Elisa asked.

"I hate to spoil the surprise for you two lovely ladies," The stranger told Elisa and Athena.

"Too bad we hate surprises," Athena said as she and Elisa showed the man their badges," Now, tell us who you are?"

"I am called Macbeth," He replied.

Athena noticed that the sun was getting closer to setting and calmly said, "Let's step inside and discuss this."

"You protect no secrets, I know all about these creatures."

Athena, Jason, and Elisa look at each other nervously as the sunsets. When the gargoyles awoke from their stone sleep, Macbeth didn't flinch but smiled at them as they shed their stone skin and roared. The clan turned around and saw the man standing with Athena, Jason, and Elisa.

"Elisa, Jason, Athena, who's your friend?" Lexington asked.

"This guy bothering you?" Broadway asked as Bronx growled.

"I'm here to offer you an invitation," Macbeth said, "Leave this drafty old castle and be guests at my home."

"I'm afraid we must refuse," Goliath answered without a second thought.

"And I'm afraid I must resist," Macbeth pulls the sides of his jacket back to reveal two powerful guns, "I didn't stoop so low as to destroy you while you slept, but now…"

"I don't like your attitude…" Broadway interrupted, "I think you better leave."

Broadway went to grab Macbeth, but suddenly, Macbeth grabbed Broadway's wrist, tossing him at Hudson. They fell off the tower and into the courtyard below. Macbeth then threw several gas bombs at the gargoyles, Athena, Elisa, and Jason, making them choke and blinded.

Macbeth put on a special pair of glasses, allowing him to see through the smoke. Bronx was running toward him, but Macbeth stepped out of the way and Bronx ran into Lexington. Macbeth took this opportunity and he pulled out a net gun. He fired it and the electrified net landed right on top of Lexington and Bronx, who began howling in pain.

Jason and Athena were back to back ready to fight when Jason spoke the chant, "Gone, gone the form of man, Rise the de-Ahhh! Iron!" Jason cried in pain as a collar latched onto his neck and before Athena could help him a dart hits her in the neck causing her to pass out.

Goliath charged at Macbeth, but he was able to jump over Goliath and knock Brooklyn down off the tower. Macbeth lands beside Brooklyn and fires the electric net on him. Brooklyn howled in pain for a moment before passing out. Goliath jumped off the tower and Macbeth then fired next to him, knocking Goliath out of the way and fell to the ground, landing on his back. Goliath got off the ground and shaked his head before Macbeth kicked him on the back, sending him into a powerbox and electrocuting him.

"Mr. Macbeth," Owen said as he walked toward Macbeth, "Mr. Xanatos hired you to fumigate his castle, not destroy it."

"Quite right," Macbeth agreed, "We'll continue this elsewhere."

Owen nodded and then walked away. Macbeth pulled a controller out of his jacket and a high tech plane appeared above the castle. A hook latched onto the electric nets and carried them up to the plane. Macbeth raced back up the tower and carefully gathered Athena in his arms. He placed her in the back seat of the plane before he got into the driver's seat. Goliath jumped onto the nose of the plane, but Macbeth quickly got rid of Goliath by electrifying the hull. Goliath fell into the castle courtyard with a large thud, and could only watch helplessly as Macbeth flew off with his friends and daughter.

Hudson ripped off the iron collar around Jason's neck and the pain eased. Jason rubbed his neck as he stood up, "Thank you, Hudson."

"Think nothing of it, lad," Husdon replied. The two went down to the courtyard to join Goliath, Elisa, and Broadway.

"I don't want to hear anymore!" Goliath shouted.

"You're not safe here," Elisa told him.

"No, you don't understand!" Goliath argued. "We have lost our clan, our world, our time! This castle is all we have left and we will not abandon it."

"What will take for you to listen, the castle falling on you?!" Elisa yelled at Goliath "Read my lips, you're not safe here!",Goliath walks away, but Elisa follows him, "What if the next goon Xanatos hires come with a sledgehammer at high noon?!" she questioned. "I can't protect you during the day, and neither can Athena or Jason."

Goliath ignored her and walked over to what remained of his clan.

"I'm going to find them. And you two will stay here and protect our home," Goliath told Broadway and Husdon before climbing up the tower and flew off to find them.

"I will go and help him, Elisa," Jason told her before speaking the chant, "Gone, gone the form of man, Rise the demon Etrigan!"

Flames erupted as he transformed into Etrigan and when the flames eased, wings sprouted from his back as he said, "The maiden is in danger, but why was she taken by the stranger? When we meet the consequences shall be dire and he shall face hell's fire."

Etrigan's wings opened to its full wingspan before taking off and following Goliath in the search for Brooklyn, Lexington, Athena, and Bronx.

"Why won't he listen to me?" Elisa asked, "It's obvious you can't stay here!"

"I think Elisa's right, " Broadway agreed.

"What you say makes sense, lass," Hudson stated, "but, Goliath is our leader. I cannot go against his wishes."

Elisa placed her hand on Hudson's shoulder and remind him, "Your loyalty is admirable, but he said 'protect our home'."

"Aye, that he did."

"Hudson, you and I both know this isn't your home anymore."


In a large castle on a cliffside, Athena groggily awakens on a bed in a windowless bedroom with a reinforced steel door. Athena felt something around her neck and when she moved her hands to touch it, she realized that it was an iron collar.

"I'm glad to see you are awake," Athena heard Macbeth's voice, no doubt coming through a speaker.

"Where am I? Why am I here?" She asked.

"You are at my home," He answered, "As to why you're here I simply need you and the others to lure someone to me."

Athena got off the bed and walked toward the door as she said, "Well, we don't intend to stay any longer. Emocha Objectia."

Strange and horrifying, nothing happened to the door. Athena looked at her hands before repeating the spell and, again, nothing happened.

"Don't bother trying any spell. The dart I shot you with was filled with Lobelia flower which has been known to weaken the power of magic and the same can be said for the iron collar around your neck. You will be powerless for hours," Macbeth told her, "And do not bother trying to remove it, the collar has a powerful electromagnetic lock on it as well the door."

"My family will come for me," Athena said.

Macbeth gave an evil chuckle, "Oh, I plan on it, my dear."

Athena knew that she couldn't sit and do nothing, so she decided to look around the room she was in to see if anything could be used to help her. Sometime later, she noticed that the lights in her room were dimming and heard screams on the other side of the door. Athena runs over to a chair and breaks one of the legs off it. She wedges the leg in between the doorframe and the door itself before wedging it open. She rushes out of the room and finds herself in some sort of cavern with Lexington and Brooklyn barely conscious in a cage and Bronx standing in front of a cage with a huge hole in it.

"Bronx, go get help. I'll stay here with them. Now go!" Athena told Bronx.

Bronx nodded before running, Athena had heard a door broke and she knew he had managed to escaped. Athena rushed toward Brooklyn and Lexington's cage checking to see if they were alright before trying to figure out a plan to get the iron collar around her neck off.


Meanwhile, Etrigan and Goliath fly over the city before hearing people scream and cars avoiding a crash, or crashing into each other, on the ground below. They looked down and saw Bronx running on the streets. They glide down to the street and land in front of Bronx.

"Bronx," Golaith said as a crowd began to form around them. Goliath kneels on one knee and asks, "Where are Lexington, Athena, and Brooklyn?"

Bronx takes off running and Goliath and Etrigan follow after him. While Etrigan merely had to flap his wings to become airborne, Goliath hopped onto a taxi and a truck before being able to gilde, and they followed Bronx to where Athena, Lexington, and Brooklyn are being kept.


Eventually, the three arrived at a castle and crashed through the front door. Goliath's and Etrigan's eyes glowed with hatred as Macbeth stood before them.

"Don't bother knocking. After all, we're old friends," Macbeth said.

"Find Brooklyn, Athena, and Lexington," Goliath ordered and Bronx took off to find them. Goliath and Etrigan approached MacBeth but back away when he pointed a gun at them, "Come ahead, then. Smart beasts. But you'll lose anyway. l defeated you in your home. Do you think l wouldn't be ready for you in my own?"

Macbeth runs off with Goltiah and Etrigan chasing him. They entered a stone hallway, and as Macbeth entered an archway, a wooden door came down. Goliath and Etrigan pounded on the door in anger, but it didn't make a dent. Their howls echoed throughout the castle as they scratch the door.


Down below the castle, Lexington, Brooklyn, and Athena could hear the howls of Goliath and Eitrgan.

"Bronx must have found Goliath," Lexington said.

"Yeah," Brooklyn agreed.

"And Etrigan as well," Athena added.


Goliath and Etrigan managed to break through the door. They stalked down the stairs and into the hallway, they each peer through a different archway as the continued down the path. Suddenly, a large iron gate dropped down on the ceiling. Goliath goes to grab it but was electrified. Angrily, he grabs a suit of armor and throws it at the gate.

The two soon heard laughter behind them and turned around to see Macbeth before he shoots a gun at them. Etrigan takes in a deep breath before fires shoots from his mouth, burning the net. Macbeth took off down the hallway with Goliath and Etrigan chasing after him. Again, a large metal door had cut them off, but Goliath and Etrigan tore door apart. However, all they found on the other end was a room with large brick walls.

The two howled again, but this time the howls were inhumane. Goliath and Etrigan eyed the wall before they tore it down. After clearing the wall, the two found themselves in a room filled with full body mirrors. They walked in slowly, Goliath spotted Macbeth and charged at him, but was rebounded off from the glass.

"Oh, it's not that easy, monster," A different reflection of Macbeth laughed.

"Why are you doing this? Did Xanatos pay you?" Goliath asked as Etrigan helped him up.

"Aye, l asked him for money," Macbeth replied, "If I'd offered to do this for free he'd have been suspicious."

"Then, why?" Goliath demanded, "We've done you no wrong."

"lt's not you l'm after," He admitted, "You're just a pawn. l want your queen."

"Queen?" Goliath repeated confused, "We have no queen."

"No? What about Demona?" Macbeth asked confidently.

"You know Demona?" Goliath gasped and his eyes widen in shock.

"Know her? l named her, "Macbeth laughs loudly. Goliath and Etrigan soon fall through a trap door where Macbeth was waiting for them with a torch in hand, "lf l capture you, the last of your kind, she will come to free you. lt's her l want."

They stood up and face Macbeth, who had a smile on his face.

Goliath gives a wicked laugh before he responds, "Then you are a fool. She is our enemy. She wouldn't lift a talon to save us."

Macbeth clenches his teeth, "Ah, no matter, I knew it was wise to capture the girl. Demona's daughter."

Etrigan's eyes glowed and he snarled at Macbeth, "For what you have done, you shall face my wrath. And when I am done, it will be a bloodbath."

Macbeth throws the torch into the vase of oil and it lit the room, revealing a medieval dungeon and torture room. Goliath tackled Macbeth, who quickly freed himself. Macbeth then grabbed a large spiked table, flipping it and tossing it at Goliath. He swung his tail, breaking the table in half, and he jumps up quickly grabbing onto a gibbet hanging from the ceiling. He swung towards Macbeth and tackled him once more.

When Macbeth worked his way free, he attempted to battle Goliath in hands on combat. They traded punches, dodging and weaving through the dungeon. Macbeth manages to punch Goliath, sending his on his back. Etrigan breathed fire in his hand before he clasped them together and as he pulled them apart to form a sword. He chagres at Macbeth, who pulled out another gun, and they fought. Etrigan punches Macbeth, sending him right into the oil container he had set ablaze, knocking it down and setting the floor on fire.

Using the flames to his advantage, Macbeth made a break for it. Goliath and Etrigan follow after him, but only found an iron maiden in front of them. Cautiously, Goliath quickly pried it open, revealing an escape route on the other side. He and Etriagn run through and found a stone staircase leading upwards, Macbeth's shadow already halfway up the staircase. Goliath and Etirgan quickly followed after him.


Down below the castle, Bronx came running down the stairs and rammed into the cage, allowing Brooklyn and Lexington to escape.

"Good boy, Bronx," Brooklyn praised.

"Come on, let's get out of here," Athena said before the four of them rush up the stairs.


The secret passage led up to Macbeth's weapons room, where he immediately went for a sword hanging on the wall. He turned just as Goliath and Etrigan reached the top of the stairs, and the three charged at one another. Macbeth swung at Goliath, but the he ducked, then leapt into the air, landing on one of the chandeliers. The swords of Macbeth and Etrigan clashed against one other. The fixture swung towards the wall, where Goliath grabbed a mace, which he then used to sever the chain holding the chandelier. Macbeth moved to dodge the falling fixture as Goliath leapt off it towards Macbeth.

The three clashed, sword versus mace and sword, smoke from the fire downstairs spreading upwards, filling the room. Fire began to reach the tapestries hanging on the walls. Still the three clashed, the ringing of their weapons echoing over the roar of the fires. Etrigan breathes fire from his mouth, melting the sword in Macbeth's hand and Goliath manages to hit Macbeth with the mace and knocking Macbeth to his knees.

"Blast you!" Macbeth shouted.

He pulled out a gun and went to open fire on Goliath and Etrigan. However, Goliath knocked the gun out of his hand with his tail, then hoisted the man into the air by his wrists. Crushing the gun in his hands, Goliath then grabbed Macbeth by his coat.

Macbeth quickly ditched the coat, dropping to the ground and bolting for the exit. Goliath and Etrigan tried to follow, but the flames had spread throughout the building.

"Goliath! Etrigan!" Athena shouted from the main entrance, "This way!"

Goliath and Etrigan ran towards Athena's voice, escaping just as the flames completely consumed the castle.

They stood outside the burning castle as Macbeth flew away in his plane just as the castle collapsed.

"Let's go home," Goliath said.


As they flew over the city back to their home, Lexington and Brooklyn were carrying Bronx while Etrigan carried Athena and they followed behind Goliath when they heard Broadway's voice.

"Goliath!" Broadway called.

They all looked down and saw Broadway, Elisa, and Husdon standing on a rooftop. They glided over and landed on the rooftop.

"What are you doing here?! Why aren't you guarding our home?!" Goliath questioned with anger in his voice.

"You don't live there anymore," Elisa told him.

"What?!" He screamed.

"l found you a new home," She added.

"How dare you?! l told you, that castle is our home."

"No, Goliath. She's right," Broadway stood in front of Elisa, "lt's suicide to stay there."

Hudson walked over, "Lad, they're right, you know. lt's just a place of stone and wood. Home is more than that, Goliath. Home is the eight of us. Wherever we can be together and safe, that's our home."

Goliath roars in rage before turning to the castle.

"Come, Goliath. Let's be going," Hudson said.

"Give me one minute and my daughter," Goliath told them. Athena walked over to her father and he picked her up before jumping over the edge and gliding to the castle.


In the great hall of the castle, Goliath and Athena found Owen cleaning up shards of broken glass. Owen looks up at Goliath and Athena.

"l have a message for your master. We're leaving. But we'll be back. We'll be back to claim that which is ours," Goliath warned. He and Athena turned around and walked away.

"l'll deliver your message," Owen promised.


Later that night, everyone was gathered inside the clocktower that sat above the precinct where Elisa and Athena worked.

"l'll, uh, l'll bet l could get this thing working again," Lexington muttered about the clock that hasn't worked in years.

"Why would you want to?" Brooklyn asked him.

"lt's not so bad. There's a place right over there for a television," Hudson said.

"OK, it's a fixer-upper. But a few throw rugs, some flowers? lt could be home," Elisa told them.

"Yes," Goliath agreed, "As long as we're together, it's home."
