Summary
Main Plot
Elisa goes undercover to work at a construction site where the workmen have been attacked by a gargoyle-like creature late at night. When she's attacked by the creature the following night, Goliath rescues her, and they notice that the creature appears to be robotic. They immediately begin suspecting that the creature is, in fact, a Steel Clan robot. When they encounter the creature again the next night, they discover that it's Demona wearing a robotic suit of armor which Xanatos has made for her. After a brief scuffle, Demona captures Elisa in the hopes of luring Goliath back to Xanatos' lab aboard a ship which has been docked in the harbor. Her plan is to kill him there, but Goliath and Elisa manage to destroy the laboratory and release several abducted workmen.
Subplots
The reason the workmen had been working at night is because a company called R.T.C. had decided it wanted its new corporate headquarters completed in just a few weeks, and had hired construction crews to work around the clock. Using the Internet, Lexington discovers that R.T.C. is owned by Xanatos Enterprises, and that Xanatos deliberately orchestrated the entire situation in the hopes of luring the gargoyles into investigating.
The reason Demona had been abducting the workmen was for Xanatos to use in his experiments, and also to lure the gargoyles to him. Although Demona had wanted to kill Goliath, Xanatos' plan was to use him in his experiments. In the end, Xanatos' head of the "Special Projects" division of Gen-U-Tech, Dr. Phobos (the comic-book counterpart to Dr. Sevarius from the canon material), realizes that he can accomplish his goals without a gargoyle.
Xanatos' scientists had developed a new weapon called a Neurophager, similar to a laser gun, but apparently more powerful. However, this technology caused Steel Clan robots to short circuit, which is why Xanatos needed Demona to work for him instead.
