The Bad Batch: Gargoyles

Chapter Nine - The Final Battle

As the Bad Batch and the Manhatten Clan set their plan in motion, Demona waited at Black Rock Point for Hunter to arrive. Soon enough, the Havoc Marauder landed at Black Rock Point. Demona watched as Hunter exited the Havoc Marauder with the Sword Of Beowulf in his hand.

Demona: You took your time. I was beginning to think that you didn't care about that little girl.

Hunter says nothing as he tosses the counterfeit sword at Demona. Demona smirked as Elisa and the rest of the Bad Batch waited for Hunter's signal.

Hunter: You got your prize. Now where's Omega?

Demona: It seems that such gullibility exists even from beyond the stars. But since you gave me the sword, the girl shall die quick and painless.

As Demona said this, she lunged at Hunter with the sword in her hand. But at Demona charged at him, Hunter gave the signal and the rest of the Bad Batch stormed out of the Havoc Marauder and joined Hunter while Elisa ran off to regroup with the Gargoyles.

Hunter: Let's get to work.

With that, the Bad Batch battled against Demona. As this happened, Elisa regrouped with the Manhattan Clan who had just arrived.

Elisa: Hunter and the others are fighting Demona!

Goliath: Then we must not waste any time.

As the Bad Batch fought against Demona, the Manhattan Clan and Elisa searched Black Rock Point for Omega. The first place they searched was an abandoned building. Meanwhile, Omega continued trying to free herself. As she did so, she managed to slip out of her bindings. But as she did so, Omega heard footsteps. Not knowing who it was, Omega hid. She could hear a familiar voice coming from outside her door.

Elisa: Omega?! Omega!

Recognizing Elisa's voice, Omega called out to Elisa. As she does so, Goliath breaks down the door.

Goliath: Are you alright, little one?

Omega: Where's Hunter?!

Hudson: Fighting Demona.

Omega: I need to help him!

Brooklyn: Easy there, kid! Hunter and the others are fighting Demona. We're going to help him.

Hudson: It's best if you say behind, young one.

Broadway: Bronx'll keep your safe! He's real nice!

With that, the Manhattan Clan and Elisa left Omega with Bronx. Meanwhile, the Bad Batch continued fighting against Demona. Demona proved to be a difficult opponent. During the fight, Demona attempts to kill Hunter with the sword, but it shatters upon making contact with Hunter's armor. She looked at the weapon to see it's true nature.

Demona: A fake?!

Hunter: You really think I'd bring the sword to you? Goliath told me all about you.

Demona: Then you know what I'm going to do to you and that little brat?

???: Not on our watch, Demona.

As the voice called out, Goliath and the Manhattan Clan revealed themselves. As Demona was being surrounded, she simply laughed.

Demona: Somehow I knew you'd get involved, Goliath. You're getting too predictable.

Goliath: Your scheme ends here, Demona!

With that, Demona fought herself fighting against both the Bad Batch and the Gargoyles. To compensate for the numbers against her, Demona used the environment against them. As the fight reached a standstill, Omega watched the fight from inside the building. At this point, Omega couldn't stand by and watch.

Omega: We have to help them!

Bronx gestured his disapproval as Omega searched the room for her Energy Bow. Eventually, she found her weapon. But as she took aim, she couldn't get a clear shot. Omega then glanced over to Bronx. In that moment, an idea came to her head.

Omega: Bronx, I think I have an idea....

Meanwhile back at the fight, Demona held her own against the Bad Batch and the Manhattan Clan. As the fight dragged on, Demona gained the upper hand.

Demona: I don't care if you've come from the stars. You're going to tell me where the sword is?

Hunter: Go to hell!

Demona: As you wish.

As Demona was about to kill Demona, an energy arrow hits Demona in the shoulder. Demona screams in pain as everyone turns around to see Omega riding on Bronx.

Omega: Yip yip!

Bronx then dashes across the battlefield while Omega shoots at Demona. Seizing the opportunity, the Bad Batch and the Manhattan Clan pressed the attack on Demona. During the brawl, Hunter slashes across Demona's back with his Vibroblade. Goliath then grabs Demona and slams her to the ground. As Demona was about to press the attack, she could see the Sun rising.

Demona: Damn you! Goddamn you!

Left with no other choice, Demona flees.

Goliath: The Sun rises.

Broadway: What are we gonna do?! We won't reach the Clocktower in time!

Hunter: We can take you to the Clocktower. The Marauder should be able to hold you all in.

Goliath and the Manhattan Clan nodded to Hunter as the Sun rose. The Gargoyles soon transformed into stone.

Hunter: Wrecker, let's get them inside the Marauder.

Wrecker: On it!

Wrecker then proceeds to take the petrified Gargoyles into the Havoc Marauder without much issue. When the battle ended, Hunter turned to Omega who hugged him before he could react.

Hunter: Are you okay?

Omega: I'm...I'm fine. I....I thought you were....

Hunter: It's okay, Omega. You're safe now. That's all that matters.

With that, Omega had been saved. Once the Gargoyles were loaded onto the ship, the Bad Batch along with Omega and Elisa boarded the Havoc Marauder and proceeded to depart from Black Rock Point and return to the Clock Tower. In that moment, Demona had been defeated. Now all that was left was to tie up some loose ends.
