            She had succeeded in throwing the oaf over the guard rail. She knew that wouldn't stop him. He'd be back. It would only be a matter of time before Goliath got there. Demona sighed as she watched fireworks exploding all over the sky. Moving Angela's egg through this would be like navigating a mine field, but she would do anything for her daughter. She hefted the egg up, spread her wings and glided. It wasn't easy, maneuvering past the exploding rockets with a large egg that kept trying to weigh her down. It was while trying to barrel roll away from a screaming rocket that she was grappled by Goliath. "You'll make me drop the egg, you idiot!" she screamed.
            "Yoink!" said Staghart, gliding by and snatching the egg from her.
            "Give that back!" shrieked Demona, her eyes blazing.
            "What have you done to our daughter, Demona?" demanded Goliath, gliding towards the nearest Labyrinth entrance with Demona in his arms. Maybe they could keep her imprisoned for good this time.
            "I'm trying to save her from your stupidity!" she said.
            "By taking away her free will?" growled Goliath. "This is a new evil for you, Demona!"
            Hudson's sword went to her throat. "Tell us how to break the spell!" he demanded.
            Demona only smirked. "You think threats of death frighten me, old one? Been there, done that!"
            " Tell me how to break the spell on her," said Goliath. "and I might consider making your accommodations in the Labyrinth more bearable!"
            Demona laughed. "There is no way, Goliath! She will be completely obedient to the first gargoyle she sees on hatching until the day she dies!" Goliath snarled in anger at the hopelessness of the situation. "And don't worry about my accommodations." Demona had yet another trick in her pouch in the form of a taser. "I won't need them." She stuck the taser straight into Goliath's wing, causing him to release her with a blood curdling roar and spin out of control. Hudson swooped down to save him.
            Broadway scrambled back up to the torch and climbed over the guard rail. Demona and the egg were both gone. He did see a small, silver thing that Demona had carelessly left behind. Maybe this could break the spell. Staghart landed next to him with the egg. "One egg over easy!" he quipped.
            "Lay her down." said Broadway. "I know how to break the spell."
            "Make it quick, mate." said Staghart, laying the egg down. "From the sound of it, I think it's starting to crack." Just then, a hairline crack started to form down the center of the egg.
            Demona tucked in her wings for more speed as she glided back to the Statue of Liberty. She could make out a rack of silver antlers just over the guard rail. That must be where the new gargoyle took her egg. He seemed young and foolish. Fighting him for the egg would be easy enough. Especially now that the fireworks were about over. Her glide was slowed by a sudden weight on her tail. "Hi there!" said Lexington, digging all 14 talons into her tail.
            Demona thrashed and spun about in the air, trying to shake him off. Lex just dug his claws in all the tighter. Demona glided down to Ellis Island where she could fight the smaller gargoyle on land. She tore Lex away from her tail and readied her talons to swipe across his throat. "You will pay for that, small one!" Suddenly, a pair of silver antlers rammed into her and sent her flying a few yards.
            "I prefer to charge!" said the new white gargoyle.
            "Nice pun, Amp!" laughed Lex.
            "Amp, is it?" said Demona, getting to her feet. "Good. I like to know the name of someone before I destroy them."
            "Ah, no." he said. "Only my friends call me Amp. You can call me Staghart, if you can still talk when I'm done with you!"
            "Brave words for an overdressed buffoon!" she said as the two circled each other. "Do you really think any of you hatchlings can defeat me?"
            "I do!" screamed Angela as she swooped down from the sky and kicked her in the head. Demona quickly recovered from the kick to see her daughter standing there in the wedding gown, her eyes glowing red. Broadway came in for a landing just behind her.
            "So." said Demona. "You've used the Egg of Imprinting to make her obey you, Broadway?"
            "No, Demona." said Angela, taking the mirror from Broadway's hands. "This is what he showed me as soon as I broke from the egg. I saw myself. I am my own master." She buried her face in Broadway's chest as he embraced her. "Go away, Demona. I never want to see you again."
            "Angela, daughter...."
            "Never call me that again!" she shouted. "I'll never call you mother again." She sobbed into Broadway's shoulder.
            "You'd better leave now, Demona." said Broadway, his eyes glowing white. Lexington and Staghart were also glaring at her with glowing white eyes. Demona scaled the Statue's pedestal and glided away before they could see her cry. She felt not merely defeated, but utterly defeated. She had lost the one thing that meant anything to her forever.
            The whir of helicopter blades could be heard overhead. It was a Xanatos chopper. Xanatos leaned out the door and waved to them before motioning for them to come up. The four gargoyles scaled the pedestal. The helicopter dipped so that by the time they got to Liberty's toes, they were on level. "Need a lift?" Xanatos casually asked. The gargoyles jumped on board. Goliath and Hudson were already there. Goliath embraced Angela on seeing her. Una was in the back, having her wing tended to by Violet.
            Una raised her head. "Broadway!" she gasped. "The only way to break the spell is to have Angela look in a mirror as soon as she hatches!"
            "Kinda figured that out." said Broadway. He gave her the mirror. "I seriously doubt Demona was using that to check her make-up. Consider it a late Vernal Equinox, early Christmas present." said Broadway.
            Una looked at the silver framed mirror. Could it really be a scrying mirror? It was made of the right materials. Making a scrying mirror meant polishing it clockwise for one hour while chanting in Latin every night for seven years. She decided to try it out. "Ostenditi mihi quis volo plurimus vidir!" She saw Leo, looking very bored while sitting next to an empty seat. The wedding guests were all gathered. Castor and Pollux were trying to keep them entertained with a song and dance. "It works!" she said. "Thank you, Broadway."
            The helicopter landed on the roof of the Aerie Tower. Fox threw off her pilot helmet and grabbed Angela's arm. "Come on! We gotta fix you up quick!" Her hair had become a bit frazzled in the last misadventure. The two ran inside.
            "Broadway," said Xanatos. "You might want to tuck in your shirt and I can get Owen to sew up that sleeve for you." Broadway had become more than a bit disheveled in the fight.
            "Owen knows how to sew?" asked Broadway.
            "It'll look like new." said Xanatos.
            Lexington had removed his shirt, tie and jacket in order to fly and took them out of the closet he had hung them in. "Looks like the wedding is back on." he said, getting dressed as three English females rounded the corner.
            "Oh, you're back!" said Patience. "Everyone's waiting!"
            "You've seen each other." said Arline. "That's very bad luck."
            "Only one way to break the juju!" said Coco. "Patience, you and me'll take Stags. Arline, you take Lex!"
            Arline took Lex to what looked like the master bedroom. "The way to break wedding day juju," Arline explained, laying the black tie on the dresser. "Is to change the appearance." She opened the closet and went through Xanatos' tie rack. "I'll give you a four-in-hand instead of a bow tie. That should work."
            In the erstwhile throne room, the Twins were still putting on a show. "You say tomato," sang Castor.
            "We say to-mah-to." sang Pollux.
            "You say potato," sang Castor.
            "We say po-tah-to." sang Pollux.
            "Tomato!"
            "To-mah-to!"
            "Potato!"
            "Po-tah-to!"
            "Let's call the whole thing off!" they both sang.
            Goliath approached them. "Sing with us, Goliath!" said Castor. "You say tomato...."
            "I say get in your places." said Goliath. "The wedding is about to start!"
            The procession soon began to the tune of the Boyzone cover of "No Matter What". As Lex and Broadway waited with Goliath, Lunette and Artemisia led the way down the aisle, dropping rose petals on the path. Both wore floral coronets and white dresses, Lunette with a deep blue sash, Artemisia with a lavender one. Benny and Nashville followed close behind, each carrying a trinket box. Nashville wore a dark haori and hakama over an olive green kimono. Benny had a turquoise bow tie.
            For honor attendants, each of the four chose four people. Ophelia, Gabriel, Tom and Katherine all came down the aisle with lavender incorporated into their costumes to represent Angela. Elisa, Matt, Hudson and Claw wore turquoise to represent Broadway. Brooklyn, Katana, Xanatos and Fox wore dark green to represent Lexington. Coco, Arline, Bernard and Ayala wore deep blue to represent Staghart. Hudson and Ayala shared a sheepish smile as they went down the aisle arm in arm. Claw offered Coco his arm, but shared a wink with Tamora as he passed her. Coco also had a wink for Delwyn.
            Fox and Pavel had done a great job on "repairing" Angela. They had convinced her that nothing was so bad that it was worth having puffy eyes on her wedding day. She decided they were right. Demona wasn't worth her tears. She was going to be happy tonight. A couple of cucumber slices and a few coats of "Angela's Amethyst" had fixed any puffiness. While Pavel had been repairing the hairdo, Fox had gone to work with lipstick and rouge "Just to emphasize what you have." Fox had said. Her veil was back where it should be, attached to a sparkling tiara. One arm carried a bouquet of ivy and "Heart of Avalon" roses, the other arm was on Staghart's arm. He was wearing his Jareth inspired suit with a rose pinned to the lapel. His usual diamond earring was absent. Lex wanted to put it on him at the ceremony.
            As they reached the end of the aisle, They took their respective mates and smiled. Goliath smiled at the two happy couples. "To take a mate," he said. "Is to take a permanent companion, someone to always be by your side, to share tears and laughter, hope and heartache, good times and bad times. Today, we are blessed to witness the joining of not two but four gargoyles. "Broadway," he took his hand. "Do you swear by your honor to forever vow your love, protection and loyalty to your mate?"
            "I do." he said.
            Goliath took Angela's hand and smiled to cover the sudden tight feeling in his throat. "Angela, do you swear by your honor to forever vow your love, protection and loyalty to your mate?"
            "I do!" she said. Vinnie could be heard blowing his nose as Katherine sniffled.
            "Then find peace and happiness together as mates." Goliath joined their hands. "Angela and Broadway have elected to exchange tokens." Benny stepped forward and opened his trinket box. Broadway presented Angela with a cowrie shell on a fine gold chain. Angela presented Broadway with a gold ring Tom made on his forge and engraved with Angela's name. It just fit Broadway's smallest finger. The two embraced and kissed passionately.
            Goliath took Lexington's hand. "Lexington," he said. "Do you swear by your honor to forever vow your love, protection and loyalty to your mate?"
            "I do." he said, smiling at Staghart.
            Goliath took Staghart's hand. "Staghart," he said. "Do you swear by your honor to forever vow your love, protection and loyalty to your mate?"
            "I do." he said. Hudson held Ayala as she started to get stiffly.
            "Then find peace and happiness together as mates." Goliath joined their hands. "Lexington and Staghart have also elected to exchange tokens." Nashville stepped forward and opened his trinket box. Lexington put the diamond back in Staghart's ear. Staghart presented Lexington with a fragment of antler on a fine silver chain. They embraces, Lexington covering Staghart's muzzle with kisses as Staghart stroked his scalp.
            Brooklyn stole a glance at his gPhone. The photo was still fading! In fact, it had all but disappeared. Why? He had just watched their ceremony. It had already happened. Suddenly, it came to Brooklyn. "Hey! How about a photograph of the happy couples!" he suggested.
            "I have my camera and a back drop ready in the ballroom!" said Concord.
            "The backdrop sounds great, thanks, Concord." said Brooklyn. "But, I'd like to get at least one photo of them on my own camera."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            In the ballroom, the two couples posed in front of the backdrop as Brooklyn snapped the picture. That's why it was fading! They were soon coming to the point in history where the photo would be taken. Concord took a couple shots with his camera and then invited other couples for pictures. "Great!" said Fang. "Just like prom night!" Riko pinched his bottom to get him to smile for the camera.
            The wedding dinner was to be postponed until later in the night, but cake punch and dancing was still available in the ballroom. Angela danced to "My Special Angel" with Tom and "Goodnight My Angel" with Goliath. Staghart danced to "Forever Young" with Ayala. Broadway danced to Queen's "My Best Friend" with Elisa. Fox and Lexington danced to The Youngblood's "Get Together". When the song "As The World Falls Down" started to play, everyone paired off with their preferred partner.
            Regan was in a corner patting Octavia. "Listen, Octavia," she was saying. "I'm gonna go live in the Labyrinth. It's Claudius. He's all alone. Well, Tamora's there, but she's gonna be palling with Claw. Claudius needs a friend, and, well, you got Bronx and Boudicca, and I know Fu Dog likes you!" She laughed and hugged her mauve friend. "I'll come visit you, though."
            "I don't think she undersssstandssss." hissed Claudius.
            "She understands I'm her friend," said Regan. "No matter where I am."
            "Would you like to danccce?" he asked. "Well, sssslither in my casssse."
            "I'd love to." she said, taking his arm.
            No one noticed the four new gargoyles and the elderly man who had invited themselves, watching invisibly from the side of the punchbowl.
            Lex and Staghart bumped into Ayala and Hudson on the dance floor. "Ooh, sorry 'bout that."
            "Not at all." said Ayala, pausing to stroke Staghart's cheek. "Oh, Staghart, Columban would be so proud if he could see you now!"
            "That I am, Ayala." said the only named gargoyle who had been watching invisibly. He watched Griff waltz by with a cream colored female. He was wearing a blue ribbon on his wrist while she had one of his feathers braided in her hair. "Huh. Always wondered where he was."
            The large blue-green female who had been standing next to him sighed. "We nae longer have claim on them, do we?" she asked in a thick Scottish brogue.
            The old man who was known in life as the Magus shook his head. "The living belong to the living. We must take joy in their joy." He looked wistfully at Katherine waltzing with Tom.
            "Aye, 'tis true." she said. She looked at Broadway. "He was always such a sweetheart. I'm glad he found someone to appreciate him."
            "Angela always had a unique way of looking at things." said Magus.
            "I always knew there was something about the littlest one of the clutch." said a small red female with wings like Lex's. "I always knew he'd succeed at whatever he put his mind to. I'm so glad he's found happiness." She leaned against the large horned gargoyle next to her, who silently stroked her short black hair. She saw another gargoyle across the room. He was also large with massive horns. An owl and a parrot were using his horns as perches, much to the amusement of a female gargoyle with a chestnut braid. "My love, that gargoyle looks so much like you. Could he be ours?"
            "They are all ours, my love." he said.
            "Ah, so they are." she sighed. "May I have this dance?"
            "Of course." The two literally waltzed on air.
            "Well, this is a complete rip-off of Return of the Jedi." sighed Columban.
            "Return of the what?" asked the blue-green female.
            "Oh, it's a film." She still looked confused. "You don't know what that is either, do you? Ah, well, care to dance?"
            "Aye. I'd like that." she said. "Warn ya, I'm a few centuries out of practice!" They both laughed and waltzed away into the night sky, unnoticed by the four newlyweds. Broadway and Angela kissed warmly as Staghart and Lexington clung together, complete in their joy.
EPILOGUE:
            Shari hated doing the job Thailog asked of her. Thailog hadn't wanted the kitten Tybalt and Brutus had mistakenly brought him hanging about the building, so she was supposed to get rid of it, one way or another. Handling felines was not good for her allergies. She carried the kitten by the scruff of the neck at arm's length and deposited it out the back door in an alley. The kitten turned around and mewed. "Go a-a-" Shari sneezed. "Go away! Thailog's not a-a-a-" She sneezed again. "A cat person, and you make me sneeze!" She closed the door and went to wash her hands, and ponder how she could spy on the Labyrinth now that so many had defected or were imprisoned.
            The kitten padded away, not knowing where to go or what to do. He was a young a foolish kitten who didn't know to watch for cars. When a roaring monster with glowing yellow eyes came barreling towards him, all the kitten could think to do was hiss and make his fur stand on end. He would've been a kitty pancake had a gargoyle not swooped down and grabbed him just in time.
            "Did you see that, Brendan?" bitched Margot. "A gargoyle zoomed right in front of us! Trying to make us crash! Those monsters are a menace!"
            "Whatever you say, J. Jonah!" sighed Brendan.
            Meanwhile, Shinju perched on nearby marquee and cradled a shivering black and white kitten in her arms. "It's OK, you're safe." she told him in Japanese. She peaked under the tail. "Ah, you're a boy. And you have no tags."
            Yama landed next to her. "Shinju, it is time to go back to Ishimura." he told her.
            "Oh, Yama, look what I found!" She showed him the kitten. "Isn't he cute?"
            "You can't bring him." said Yama. "You have enough cats as it is."
            "But, Yama! He's so little and all alone!"
            "It's enough that we're bringing those two mutate children!"
            Yuri landed next to her. "Where have you been, love?" she asked her.
            "I just rescued a cute little kitty!" Shinju showed her the kitten.
            "Kawaii!" squealed Yuri. "Chan-Chan has been lonely since we gave most of her kittens away."
            "No! No!" Yama protested. "Not another cat!"
            "Aw, he's just a little kitten." said Shinju. "What should we call him?"
            "Call him 'Mendo'." Yama suggested. "That's all he's good for!" In Japanese, "Mendo" meant "Trouble".
            "Yoshi!" squealed Shinju. "Let's go home, Mendo-Chan!"
