First, the legal disclaimers. All Lilo and Stitch characters except for Akira, Rick and X-777 belong to Disney. The Timesplitters belong to Eidos Interactive. The U.S.S Defiant Starship design belongs to Paramount Studios (I think). Akira, Rick and Experiment 777 are the copyright property of me.
This is the first proper instalment of the 'EXP-Virus saga'. I will try to update whenever possible. If you want your Fan experiments mentioned, e-mail me their name and profile and I will try to fit them in a later chapter/instalment. The timeship looks like the U.S.S Defiant from Star Trek: DS9 only smaller. These stories take place a year after the last experiments were caught and homed by Lilo and Stitch.
The EXP-Virus saga: Dark angel
Chapter 1: Bumpy Landings
Intro
UFO's were not uncommon in the night skies above Kuwai Island. Just a couple of years ago, a green fireball had landed not far from Kokaua Town and over the following year alien sightings had tripled. So no one paid any attention to the strange flashes in the night sky or to the five shooting stars that circled for twenty minutes over the island. They should have paid more attention.
Timeship Bridge
Date: 12/06/2006
Matt carefully steered the timeship through a cloud, while keeping the four black pods in range. Each of those pods carried a lifeform that could spell certain doom for the human race if they were activated. "Come on. Just a little closer." He said under his breath. There was an ominous creak from the wall to his left as the strain from the wind resistance began to take its toll. "Bloody Captain Hawk and his trigger happy crew." He cursed. The 28th century Starship captain was the main reason that they were having trouble catching the pods (See Prologue for more). His starships stun torpedoes had fried almost every circuit on the ship, forcing them to reset all the computer systems. Luckily, the pods had been slow otherwise Matt and his companions would have been too late by far. The entrance to the bridge opened and a red-furred experiment walked in. Her name was X-777 and, due to an accident considered Matt to be her master. "Master?" She asked, trying to get Matt's attention. When he didn't answer she continued anyway. "Rick and Akira have repaired the weapon systems." "How many times do I have to say it? You don't have to call me 'Master'." Answered Matt without turning his head. X-777 sat down in the co-pilots seat next to Matt and said "Of course, Master." Matt just shook his head and sighed. The screen had changed, now the pods had numbers next to then that corresponded to the experiment on board. Only one was in range but Matt silently thanked his lucky stars. The number was 627, who was, according to his file, practically unstoppable. Matt selected control of the gauss cannon, targeted the pods engine and fired.

"Commander Darleas. We have just sighted the Travellers timeship. He appears to be attempting to disable the transport pods. He has already disabled and detained the 627 pod." Said the captain of the squad. When the answer came, he had to hold his communicator at arms length due to the volume. "WELL DON'T JUST STAND THERE, YOU IDIOT!" shouted the voice of Commander Darleas "SHOOT THEM DOWN BFORE HE CAPTURES THE OTHERS, NOW!" "Touchy." Muttered the captain. He turned and issued orders to his squad members "I want half of you on that boulder there and the rest of you slackers on that outcrop." He said pointing to said boulder and outcrop. "Use your homing launchers. Anything else will just bounce off. Fire on my command." The splitter soldiers ran to their positions and pulled out what looked like large triple-barrelled shotguns without the cocking mechanism. There were three identical gusts of wind as the transport pods flew over their heads. Then they heard it, a faint rumble that steadily got louder. Then, out of a bank of cloud, came the timeship of their hated enemy, the traveller. The captain didn't even need to order them to fire.

"Yahoo!" yelled Matt "One down, three to go." He turned and activated the intercom to the cargo bay. "Rick, Akira. Is E.X.P 627's pod safe and sound?" A horrible thought occurred to him. "Please tell me the pod didn't get wet." Whatever Rick had been about to say never got said because at that moment, the entire left wall of the bridge blew in a blue fireball. Both Matt and X-777 were thrown out of their chairs and onto the floor. The sound of the air rushing out of the hole that the explosion had made was deafening to Matt but was loud enough to knock out X-777. The bigger problem was the suction. Matt came to his senses just in time to see X-777 sucked out of the hole and into the night sky. Matt would always wonder why he did what he did next. He grabbed the survival backpack from the back of the Pilot seat, ran to the hole and jumped out after her. He expected to go splat but instead hit the water. The ship had flown over the coast. "777" Matt yelled "Where are you?" He took a deep breath and dived. Matt could see parts of the timeships hull that had been blown off sinking to the sea floor. He thought he saw a glimpse of red and swam towards it. Unfortunately, a piece of hull armour caught him on the head. Matt's last thoughts before everything went black were 'Smeg'.
Meanwhile, onboard the timeship…
Akira and Rick ran through the smoke-filled corridors towards the control bridge. Whatever had hit the ship had set off fires everywhere. They arrived at the door to the bridge and found that it had sealed itself. "Unable to open seal. Hull breach detected!" Sounded the computer. "We've got to get in there." Said Akira "Matt and X-777 could be hurt or worse." "I could try to walk through the door like I did on Dr Johnson's ship." Suggested Rick. He composed himself, closed his eyes and walked towards the door. When he opened his eyes, he saw what was left of the bridge. "Oh, no!" he said to himself when he saw the gaping hole in the side of the bridge. He punched in the override code for the door, and then he began to use an extinguisher on the fires. Akira ran to the pilot controls and tried to turn the ship but the controls were fried. The only button on the panel was a red one. Akira crossed her claws and pressed it. "Emergency autopilot engaged! Warning. Critical damage to atmosphere engines detected" Sounded the computer. "Queesta!" Swore Akira. The computer continued "Engaging emergency landing program! All crew to crash positions!" With this Akira and Rick were thrown off balance and nearly joined Matt and X-777 in the sea as the computer expertly brought the ship about. "Oh, crap!" Said Rick as he saw that the ship was heading for a house with a dome on top.

It was a beautiful night so Lilo had opened up the observatory roof to look at the stars. There had been reports on the radio of shooting stars so she and Stitch were looking for them. "Look, Stitch." Lilo said pointing to a orange fireball over the ocean "There's one." "Ooo. Mesata tooka be. (Ooo. That's a big one.) As they watched, the shooting star seemed to turn, towards them. As it got closer, they began to see the outline of a starship. It just skimmed the top of the dome as it passed overhead. Lilo and Stitch ran to the window and watched with horror as the crippled ship plunged into the jungle. After a minute of crashing noises, a column of smoke began to rise. Stitch looked more horrified by the crash. "Lilo" he said, pulling her to the lift. "Cousins were on ship." "More cousins?" said Lilo "But we rescued all of them and found their one true place. Even Angel and 625." They both looked at the experiment scanner. There were three new numbers on the screen, EXP type: 312, X-1931 and X-777 but there was no more info apart from the ID numbers. Lilo knew that they had to find them before Gantu did, so they grabbed torches, some bandages and sneaked out of the back door.

Angel had also seen the crash and was rushing to the site as well. She had been originally planning to surprise her Bushi-boo with a surprise visit but the site of the huge starship shooting overhead, spouting flames and smoke had made her decide to see if she could help (She had smelled Akira and Rick as well), anyway Stitch and Lilo would be going to help for certain. She rushed into a clearing and saw a strange black pod had apparently landed there. She was about to carry on when a strange device popped out of the top of the pod and bathed her in a blue light. "Experiment 624 detected. Executing program: Virus 624." Sounded a monotone, male voice. An Experiment pod with a bio-hazard symbol on it popped out of a tube in the side and another sprayed it with water, activating it. When the pod had finished activating, Angel nearly collapsed from shock. Standing before her was…herself. "Virus experiment 624 activated." Sounded the pods A.I. Angel was about to run and get Stitch when a yellow beam shot and dehydrated her. "Original X-624 in custody." Sounded the transport pod as an arm picked up Angel's pod and placed it carefully inside. Virus 624 giggled evilly and ran into the jungle, following the scent of her target: Lilo Palakai.
END OF CHAPTER ONE
There we go! The first chapter of Dark Angel is finished.
Don't worry, all you Angel fans. I haven' killed her off.
X-777 will be named during this story, at some point!
Please read and review! Criticism is alright (I want to know if I go wrong) but do not flame me please!
