"The Reckoning"
(Radio Play Edition)
ACT ONE
THE NEW YORK WAREHOUSE DISTRICT - SUNDAY, JULY 14th, 1996
Someone is watching GOLIATH, BROOKLYN and ANGELA as they crouch on a rooftop opposite the Goldencup Bakery Building...
1. ANGELA
<sigh> How much longer do we have to sit here? There's so much happening in the city, and we're stuck on this roof.
2. BROOKLYN
(swats his neck) Yeah. And if the boredom doesn't get us, the mosquitos will.
3. GOLIATH
Patience. With all the recent thefts of technology, our best move is to stake out research facilities.
They hear a muffled <EXPLOSION> in the distance.
4. BROOKLYN
Whoa. Okay, you convinced me.
Another <EXPLOSION> and DEMONA emerges from the wreckage wearing a stolen EXO-FRAME.
5. BROOKLYN
Demona
6. ANGELA
(internalized) My mother?!
7. GOLIATH
<low growl> Demona must be gathering weapons for another offensive.
8. BROOKLYN
Then let's offend her first. <attack roar>
Brooklyn leaps toward Demona, blindsiding her.
9. BROOKLYN, DEMONA
<impact grunts>
Demona activates her exo-frame's ROCKETS. Brooklyn hangs on for dear life.
10. DEMONA
Well, well. Going my way?
11. BROOKLYN
<off-balance roar>
12. GOLIATH
Take care, Angela. Do not underestimate Demona.
13. BROOKLYN
(struggling) This tin can won't save you. <pained yell>
The exo-frame electrocutes Brooklyn, forcing him to let go.
14. DEMONA
Oh, but it's a very clever tin can.
She backhands him, and he drops like a stone.
15. BROOKLYN
<impact grunt>
16. ANGELA
Brooklyn!
He crashes, unconscious, into a warehouse roof.
17. BROOKLYN
<big impact grunt>
Goliath barrels toward Demona, who FIRES laser blasts at him.
18. DEMONA
I should've known - you always travel in groups.
19. GOLIATH
We are a clan, Demona. <lunge dive> That's something you forgot long ago.
Demona loops up and SLAMS into Goliath's back.
20. GOLIATH
<pained grunt>
21. DEMONA
I have forgotten nothing. Every betrayal is etched in my mind.
22. ANGELA
Stop this fighting!
23. DEMONA
You! I saw you in Paris! Who are you?! I know every remaining Gargoyle.
Goliath slams into a distracted Demona, holding despite the frame's energy charge.
24. GOLIATH, DEMONA
<impact grunts>
25. GOLIATH
(through gritted teeth) She is not your concern.
He PUNCHES the power unit on her back, causing it to short out and SHOCK him loose.
26. GOLIATH
<punch effort, shocked yelp>
Demona is also shocked, and begins to plummet, before crashing into a nearby roof, where the exo-frame explodes, throwing her clear.
27. DEMONA
<pained yell, falling scream, double impact, thrown>
Demona lies there, twitching. Goliath, Angela and Brooklyn approach.
28. ANGELA
Is she...
29. GOLIATH
She is alive.
(to Brooklyn)
Are you all right?
30. BROOKLYN
<deep breath> I guess. Just don't ask me how many talons you're holding up.
31. ANGELA
She looks so peaceful.
32. BROOKLYN
Yeah? Wait 'til she wakes up. Demona has this funny way of getting real excitable.
33. GOLIATH
We cannot release her. There have been too many battles. Too many casualties.
34. ANGELA
What options do we have?
35. GOLIATH
Long ago, we banished Gargoyles who turned against the clan.
36. BROOKLYN
Yeah, but where could we banish her to? And how do we make her stay?
37. ANGELA
Humans lock their criminals away in prison. Maybe we could do the same.
38. GOLIATH
During the day, Demona is human, and we turn to stone. There's nowhere we could safely guard her.
39. BROOKLYN
(grim) I think I know a place.
LATER THAT NIGHT - IN THE LABYRINTH
The homeless and the strange make their lives in these abandoned subway tunnels and laboratories... Demona, still knocked out, is lying on a cot in a heavily fortified cell. FANG is in the next cell. ELISA, and the Mutates, including MAGGIE THE CAT, and the Gargoyles, including HUDSON, have gathered. TALON slams the cell door shut.
40. TALON
Then it's agreed. We will guard the prisoners during the day, and you will stand watch at night.
41. ELISA
Do you realise what you're committing yourself to?
42. GOLIATH
There is no other way.
(to the gargoyles)
We will each take our turn in a nightly rotation.
43. ELISA
(slapping her neck)
<small pain gasp>
44. TALON
Sorry. I'm afraid we have mosquitos down here... and worse.
45. FANG
Hey! Hey!! I resemble that remark.
46. TALON
Fang is serving time for trying to force his way into power down here.
47. FANG
Yeah, yeah, but I'm expecting the Governor to commute my sentence any minute now.
48. ANGELA
I'll take the first watch
49. GOLIATH
(halting) Perhaps it's best if you don't...
50. ANGELA
(bristling) Am I a member of this clan or not?!
51. GOLIATH
Of course. But...
52. HUDSON
Take the first watch, lass. Just remember: she may be your mother, but she is capable of anything.
EARLY THAT MORNING - MONDAY, JULY 15th, 1996
Angela sits in a chair, close to Demona's cell.
53. DEMONA
<groans> Where am I?
(to Angela)
You again! What right do you have to jail me, a fellow Gargoyle? Who are you?
54. ANGELA
(shaken) Angela
(beat)
Your daughter.
55. DEMONA
(enraged) My daughter?! How dare you mock me? I have no daughter!
56. ANGELA
Yes, you do. The clan's eggs survived. You and Goliath are my biological parents... I'm told there's a resemblance.
57. DEMONA
(staggered) My daughter... after so long, can it really be?
58. ANGELA
(excited) I've been living on Avalon! Princess Katharine brought all the eggs there after Castle Wyvern was attacked.
59. DEMONA
Typical humans! They pillage the castle and steal our children!
60. ANGELA
No, it wasn't like that! The Princess saved us. She's part of my clan... as you are.
61. DEMONA
Know this, young one, humans have no place in any Gargoyle clan. Goliath has lost sight of this simple truth.
Demona reaches out to touch Angela through the bars.
62. DEMONA
If you truly are my daughter, we must always be there for one another. That is what it means to belong to a clan.
63. FANG
<loud theatrical sobbing> I'm moved. Deeply. I mean - the mother/daughter thing. Man, you chicks are better than soaps. <laughs>
64. ANGELA
Mind your own business.
65. FANG
No one knows how to take a compliment anymore, huh. <chuckles>
THE NEXT NIGHT - TUESDAY, JULY 16th, 1996
LEXINGTON stands guard. Fang uses bio-electricity to ZAP another hashmark into his cell wall.
66. FANG
And another day bites the dust.
DEMONA releases a small robotic mosquito from her belt buckle. It BUZZES out of the cell toward Lex.
67. LEXINGTON
(slapping his neck>
<small pain grunt> Stupid bugs.
Demona smiles. The bug zips away. We follow it out of a sewer grate and across town until it arrives at...
NIGHTSTONE UNLIMITED CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS
Where Dr. SEVARIUS awaits.
68. SEVARIUS
Ah, the prodigal bug returns. And whose DNA have you brought us tonight, my little thief?
Sevarius draws the contents from the big and injects them into a bio-module.
69. SEVARIUS
You know, when they call bio-engineering a "growth industry," they're not kidding. <chuckles>
There are now three active modules and two empty ones.
70. SEVARIUS
All systems perfect, of course.
Sevarius turns to address someone stepping from the shadows.
71. SEVARIUS
And there you have it. Three down and two to go.
It is THAILOG.
72. THAILOG
I just love it when everything goes according to plan. <building evil maniacal laugh>
END ACT ONE
ACT TWO
WEDNESDAY, JULY 17th, 1996 - IN THE LABYRINTH JAIL
Hudson guards Demona.
73. DEMONA
Hudson, you haven't said a word since you got here. Doesn't our past mean anything?
74. HUDSON
Aye. It means I have more sense than to talk to you.
Demona releases another mosquito.
75. DEMONA
You've cut me to the quick.
76. HUDSON
(slaps his neck) <small pain grunt and grumble>
SUNDAY, AUGUST 18th, 1996 - AT THE NIGHTSTONE LABORATORY
A month has passed, and all five bio-modules are now operational. Sevarius departs with a briefcase full of cash.
77. SEVARIUS
Nice doing business with you, Thailog. All you have to do now is decide on the programming. My advice: keep it simple. You don't want to end up with another you.
78. THAILOG
My thoughts exactly. <sinister laugh>
MEANWHILE IN THE LABYRINTH
It is once again Angela's turn at the watch. She and Demona have been arguing...
79. ANGELA
...yes, but that... that doesn't explain how you could have done so many terrible things.
80. DEMONA
How can you judge me? You've been hiding on a magical island, while I have been out in the real world.
CLAW enters to relieve Angela.
81. ANGELA
I know, Claw. It's dawn. I think I'll just stay here today.
Outside the sun rises. Angela turns to stone, and Demona begins her daily transformation into a human.
82. DEMONA
<transformation howl>
83. FANG
Wow. Kinky.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12th, 1996 - TWO MORE MONTHS HAVE PASSED
Goliath enters the Labyrinth to relieve Talon. It's all routine by now.
84. TALON
They're all yours.
85. FANG
Hey, yo, Goliath - How many Gargoyles does it take to screw in a lightbulb, huh? <laughs>
86. GOLIATH
I am so tired of your "jokes", Fang.
87. DEMONA
Well, well. If it isn't my judge and jury.
88. GOLIATH
You chose your own fate, Demona, when you turned against your clan.
89. DEMONA
Clan? You don't know the meaning of the word. But I'll teach you.
90. TALON
If you'll excuse me...
A <RUMBLING> is heard from above.
91. TALON
That doesn't sound like a subway car-
Suddenly the ceiling EXPLODES, raining down debris on Goliath and Talon.
92. GOLIATH, TALON
<startled yells, impact grunts>
Thailog leaps down through the hole in the ceiling, holding his own big gun and Demona's laser cannon.
93. THAILOG
I hope I haven't come at a bad time.
94. DEMONA
Thailog, my love, your timing is impeccable.
Talon is out of commission, but Goliath attacks Thailog.
95. GOLIATH
<attack roar>
96. GOLIATH, THAILOG
<impact grunts>
Thailog swings Goliath around and pile-drives him into the bars of the cell.
97. GOLIATH
<pained grunt>
Demona grabs Goliath from behind, allowing Thailog a clear field.
98. THAILOG
Thank you, my dear. <effort>
99. GOLIATH
<major impact grunt>
Thailog knocks Goliath aside, and blasts open Demona's cell. They embrace, and Thailog hands Demona her cannon. She turns the gun on Fang.
100. FANG
Hey, Demona, I've always respected you as a fellow inmate, You knew that, right? Huh? (terrified) C'mon. Some of my best friends are half-gargoyle, half-human babes with bad attitudes, huh!
Instead of killing him, Demona blasts open his cell, freeing him.
101. DEMONA
He's a fool, but he may be of some use.
102. FANG
I can work with that. Hey! Wait up!
Fang follows Thailog and Demona out of the hole in the ceiling. Goliath fights his way to his feet.
103. GOLIATH
<determined groan>
He pulls Talon free of the rubble.
104. GOLIATH
Hurry. We must not lose them.
LATER AT CONEY ISLAND
Thailog, Demona and Fang swoop down and enter the deserted Fun House. Seconds later, Goliath and Talon alight on the Ferris Wheel.
105. TALON
I smell a trap.
106. GOLIATH
<low growl> Yes. They were too easy to follow. Keep watch, while I go for help.
107. TALON
Feel free to hurry back.
Soon, Goliath returns to the Ferris Wheel with Hudson, Angela, Brooklyn, Lexington and Broadway.
108. TALON
Nobody's come or gone, so I scoped the place out. There are three ways in: a service entrance at the rear, an air vent on the roof and the front door.
109. GOLIATH
We will take them from all sides. Hudson, you and Talon go in through the back. You three take the roof. Angela, come with me.
INSIDE THE FUN HOUSE
Hudson and Talon enter through the back. Hudson draws his sword. Suddenly, Fang steps from the shadows and takes Talon out with a blast of bio-electric energy.
110. FANG
Remember me?
111. TALON
<pained yell>
Fang also has the drop on Hudson but throws up his hands and steps back.
112. FANG
Not tonight, pal. We got a special surprise for you.
Hudson's clone steps from the shadows, wielding a mace.
113. HUDSON
<stunned gasp> What are you-
114. BURBANK
<nasty growl>
Hudson's clone attacks! Using his mace to bring Hudson to his knees.
115. HUDSON
<impact grunt>
116. BURBANK
<bestial attack>
MEANWHILE, IN THE FUNHOUSE MAZE
Brooklyn, Lex and Broadway enter from the ceiling air vent. At a fork in the maze, Brooklyn silently points to the right. Broadway nods and heads around a corner. Brooklyn and Lex continue forward, finding a door. Brooklyn opens it, and a MONSTER leaps out at them.
117. BROOKLYN, LEXINGTON
<startled cries>
Fortunately, the monster's a fake.
118. LEXINGTON
Very funny.
Unfortunately, their clones are standing behind them.
119. MALIBU, BRENTWOOD
<bestial growls>
They attack, as Brooklyn and Lex dive out of the way.
120. MALIBU, BRENTWOOD
<charging roars>
121. BROOKLYN, LEXINGTON
<diving efforts>
122. LEXINGTON
They're clones... of us! <impact grunt>
Lex's clone has grabbed Lex and slammed him into a wall. Brooklyn and his clone grapple.
123. BROOKLYN, MALIBU
<struggling>
Malibu flips Brooklyn over, SLAMS him down and leaps on him.
124. MALIBU
<roar>
125. BROOKLYN
<impact grunt, pained yell>
MEANWHILE, AT THE FRONT GATE
Goliath and Angela leap over the turnstiles and proceed along a dim hallway.
AND IN ANOTHER PART OF THE MAZE
Broadway stands in front of a Funhouse mirror.
126. BROADWAY
Ha. Looks nothing like me.
Broadway comes face to face with his clone. He stands there, confused for a moment. Then the clone attacks.
127. HOLLYWOOD
<attack roar>
128. BROADWAY
<impact grunt>
The clone wraps his arms around Broadway and squeezes.
129. BROADWAY
<fighting for breath>
AND IN ANOTHER PART OF THE FUNHOUSE
Goliath & Angela slowly enter a darkened room. Suddenly a bright light SNAPS on, revealing a Dungeon. A rack, chains and shackles anchor faux skeletons to the wall. Thailog points his big gun. Demona too.
130. THAILOG
Do come in.
131. GOLIATH
You think you've won, Thailog, but it isn't that easy.
Fang enters, dragging Talon. The four clones follow, dumping the rest of the unconscious Gargoyles into a heap on the floor.
132. THAILOG
Oh, really? I hope you weren't counting on them to rescue you.
Thailog puts his arm around Demona, as the clones gather round them.
133. THAILOG
Face it, Goliath. My clan can beat your clan, any day of the week. <sinister laughter>
