Chapter 104: Research
In the Nightstone Unlimited laboratory Dominique Destine meanwhile, or rather her nightly original form of Demona was observing her newest project, a few cloned Gargoyle males and female batches that she had created to increase the numbers of her own clan and followers, as well as those Gargoyles who would stand loyally behind her. The basic idea had come during a discussion with Unhulpa and now Demona used her immense resources to increase the numbers of her future armies. However Unhulpa's suggestion to add a few genes to increase their natural weapons like venom and other additional claws, spikes and other things had gotten Demona's attention and approval, so she had some of the Gargoyle clones changed to increase their natural weapons. Because the research was as secretive as dangerous however, Demona had rearranged much of this research to secret Nightstone Unlimited Laboratories, far away from her well known and official buildings all over the world so that Xanatos,

They were oppressed and killed of by the uncanny ruling class of human Kings and Emperors that had killed so many of our kind as well.” said Demona bitterly. “So we talked and exchanged a lot.” she confessed that her interactions with

“This is a waste of my time.” declared Demona, clearly not liking the idea Unhulpa has had. Sure she had used human mercenaries from time to time, but this new idea was crazy to say at least. She had once used a Chinese Triad Sect as her allies who had worshiped her as a Gargoyle, but this now?
“What? No believe me religious fanatics ready to dye for you are a great addition to every normal military force.” grinned Unhulpa with a evil smile, speaking of his own experience trought the centuries.

Working with the Gargoyles Taksforce was never easy or simple, as Detective Cedric Harris and his partner, Tri Chung, from 23rd Precinct in Manhattan knew. Ancient mythological creatures, magic and modern, futuristic weapons used against them were just some of the daily chaos and troubles they wen trough in their special unit, which meant that many were asking to increase their own budget and lift them up with more modern security, protection and weaponry themselves to better respond to this new kind of threats so they could continue to serve and protect the citizens of Manhattan and overall New York against this dangerous threat. At the same time many in the media and politics claimed that such an arms race between the police and the bad guys endangering the city would not protect it, but actually endanger it more, lead to even more devastating to the damage done to the city overall and the civilians caught in between. Others argued that in such chases real special forces or even the

Quickly recognizing the insignia on their sides, Unhulpa and Demona alike realized that the attackers were the Church of the Shattered Stone, a group of Catholic Christian Fanatics that had hunted them alongside other magic creatures and even magic users trough the centuries. “Now this brings back memories.” grinned Unhulpa who had his modern hunting bow and his sword among other more futuristic weapons on his armor suit with him. He knew with their own modern technology they could not only easy evade their fire but outmaneuver these fools entirely. “Yes, let's see if this idiots still make the same sound when dropped from great height.” grinned Demona clearly more amused then frightened.

It was a dark, stormy night over New York City as a single hired mercenary glided onto the Cyberbiotics Tower undetected and used a small bomb to blow a hole into one of the ventilation shafts. Ever since the Gargoyles had first attacked Cyberbiotics, these shafts were getting smaller, but more in number, to prevent any creature like them from sneaking into them ever again. Sadly for them the male burglar was aware of that fact and used a second bigger bomb, to blow a whole in the ceiling below the shaft.

At the same time he assured the Quarryman that public opinion would soon swing to eliminate all Gargoyles. In a way Agent Hacker had to laugh about it all internally, the Illuminati did what they did best, assure each faction that they were sharing and backing there goals, while in reality moving them all against one another like chess pawns.

Using the Phoenix Gate, Brooklyn and Katana managed to surface in New York again, but the skyline was not at all familiar to them. The skyscrapers looked massively bigger and in the center of the overall city was a massive, pyramid building towering above it all, in it's middle the Eyrie Building and the Castle atop of it could be seen.
