The story (from the U.S. instruction manual):

Demon - warrior - hero!

A long time ago, between the age of the dinosaurs and the dawn of mankind, there existed the magical world of Etruria. A local monster named Firebrand from the Ghoul Realm was busy training in the arts of the warrior. He is a young and powerful gargoyle - human in shape, yet he has leathery wings with massive claws on his hands and feet.

He studies at the Warrior's Training Center to use his combat talents in defense of the Ghoul Realm. His time comes (sooner than he expected), as a mysterious black light appeared one day and drained the magic from the land.

Thanks to Knuckle, I finally have pictures of the elusive Gargoyle's Quest II, entitled Makaimura Gaiden, for GameBoy! Check out the pics below. According to Knuckle, it was a Japanese-only release, it's identical to the NES version and it came out sometime in 1993.
