Hello, welcome to the story. In this story, Stitch and the other experiments were bored out of their minds due to the lack of excitement. Lilo thought of a game could help with that problem; it'll also quell the aggressive program in their brains. They end up playing a war game where two sides each containing five experiments will rage war to capture the opposing side's base. Sounds simple, right? Well, you soon see it's a lot more complicated then it appears.

Torcher: If the experiments sound like they're talking in perfect English when they're not supposed to, it's because I put a translation filter. Trust me, you'll need it…
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Genesis of war
It was a fine day on the Hawaiian island… (Torcher: I am really getting tired of saying that line. Mimic: Shut up and write.)
It was a rainy day on the island, the islanders were doing their every day routine; The old woman who works at the fruit shop is selling fruits (Torcher: and is still deaf, she should really get a hearing aid.), David is still surfing and being a part-time life guard (Mimic: … he's a lifeguard? Torcher: Uh… yeah.), and the experiments were doing what they did best in the one place they belong. Lately though, there was a bit of an annulled activity for some of the experiments; though some reasons were more obvious then others.

Shaved ice and milkshake shop
It was about high noon, there was not a single costumer in sight. In fact, there haven't been any costumers for Slushy and/or Richter for about a week. No shaved ice, no milkshakes, not even for some friggin ice (Torcher: and that stuff is free!).
To keep from going insane for that last couple of days, they kept themselves entertained. The first day, they played a game of old maid only to figure out an hour later they had no idea how to play game (Mimic: Don't ask what they did in that hour, even I don't know). The second day, they were using the cards to build a tower out of them. The pile kept falling over due to Slushy's shortness and Richter's lack of opposable thumbs, so Slushy decided to freeze the tower joints to keep them from falling down and use Richter to get higher to the top of the tower. Unfortunately, when Slushy froze the entire tower and Richter was so happy about that he wagged his tail, causing a small tremor and totally destroyed the tower along with the cards. Slushy was glaring at Richter; if looks could freeze, Richter (along with the entire building) would be an iceberg by now.
"You idiot! I was going take a picture of that!" Slushy said angrily, his face turning a dark blue. He looked like he was on the verge of exploding into a cloud of ice. Richter smiled sheepishly, trying hard to hide his embarrassment.
"Sorry…"
After that day, they were using every ounce of will power they had not to beat each other senseless (Torcher: Or freeze in Slushy's case). Slushy was making ice sculptures of random things like flowers and trees a few times, but due to the climate of Hawaii they all melted. They even did a staring contest… they quit after the store closed. This went on for the rest of the week; each day had no customers. So now we're in the present, a week passed and still not a single costumer came. The two experiments were at wits end and couldn't take it anymore.
"There's got to be something to do," Richter thought. "If this keeps up, I'm going to crazy!!… And Slushy could freeze everything… again." Slushy was standing behind the counter, eye twitching every few seconds. A person would think he's crazy when they saw this; they're probably right.
About the same time, Lilo was walking to the shop to check on the experiments. Every month, she and Stitch check on the experiments they turned good to see how they are doing. There were times where they were starting causing trouble like the time Sparky got overly charged due to the increased Dark Spots on the sun that lasted for two days; afterwards he fried almost half the electrical objects on the island and gave everyone static hair. Luckily, Clip managed to fix everyone hair back before evening.
"Hi guys, how's business?" Lilo asked, totally oblivious to Slushy's twitching. The said ice experiment snapped out of his weird trance and blinked. He waved over to the little Hawaiian girl, hoping to god for her to ask for some shaved ice. Lilo sat down on to the stool, ordering two strawberry-flavored shaved ice and milkshakes (Torcher: Strawberry-flavored shaved ice and milkshakes…? Mimic: It's definitely something I would order.). In the elapse time of five seconds, the said orders were right in front of them.
"Wow, that was fast." Lilo said, surprised by the time it took them to make the orders. She took them and walked away, little confused why they were in such a hurry.

The lighthouse
Sparky was also suffering from advance boredom, sitting in his chair for the delivery to come. About five days ago, he overloaded light bulb when someone came up from behind and scared him (Torcher: It was Spooky.). So after chasing out the experiment via some electric shocks, he ordered another bulb to be sent to the lighthouse. The company said it would take about a week to send, so he had to wait. When a livewire like Spark is forced to wait in the lighthouse, not trying to lose it, and haven't used his energy for about five days; it tends to affect the mind.
"Oooooo," he said in his electric sounding voice, looking at the wall. "The walls are pretty…" For those who are confused, he sees the plain wall turned into an array of colors. You see, cells can create electricity but to him, making electricity is like flexing a muscle. Every cell in his body produces high amount of it thanks to the extra mitochondria in his cells, but that's not where his electricity comes from, although he draws power from them. There's a special nerve sac or gland in his body that allows him to channel his energy and produce it into electricity. This principle goes with any experiment that has this ability. Anyways, the stored electricity within his gland is currently holding lots of energy. The energy needs to be drained, but Sparks didn't release any of the stored energy. This energy started to leak into his nervous system and into his brain, so now he's starting to hallucinate, become dizzy, and says whatever he's thinking; in this case, singing…
"I gOt CaBIn fEvEr… la LA la La LA… I GoT cabin Fevers … something soothing something!" He then grabs a plastic fish and starts dancing with it as if it was a dance partner (Mimic: If you ever heard Experiment 221 talk, you can guess that his dazed singing would be weirder.). He occasionally knocks into an object or wall; which ever comes first.

Kaneohe Prison (Torcher: We don't know the island name, work with us!)
She was getting tired of this, in her cell along with her partner in crime. Bonnie was stuck in this prison for god knows how many months; it was two weeks since she and Clyde was out thanks to the therapy from Pleakley, though she felt better afterwards, they found the missing video cassette in her prison uniform and was forced to return to the penitentiary. They both were still serving their sentence for stealing all the things they took, 10 years or until Lilo finds a place for them. The cell they were in was your average prison cell; bunk beds, window, door, sink, and a bonus, a private bathroom (Torcher: Bonnie did some major complaining to get that.). The place smelt of a humid odor that no one could figure out what it is; which might be a good thing. Clyde was looking out the window, watching the local wildlife and the rain.
"Hey Bonnie," Bonnie looked over to her left from her laying position on her bed to Clyde's general direction, look of boredom on her face. "Got any plan to escape?" He asks, still looking out of the window.
In the past, they both tried to escape the prison compound numerous times a few days after they were first caught. One time they dug a tunnel out, but were caught by Digger (One of the many experiments turned good). Next was disguising themselves as guards and sneak out, but they were found out quite easily due to their size and looks. The plans ranged from the most complicated (Mimic: They got random things from the prison like a spoon, wire and such for their plan.) to the most cliché (Torcher: They tried to use a laundry chute) to the lamest (Mimic: Clyde was dressed in a skirt and pretended to be a girl.) to the absolutely absurd (Torcher: They were begging a guard to give them the keys. Begging for god sakes!). After the whole therapy session with Pleakley, she was beginning to think of things she hadn't before. It was as if there had been a fog clouding her mind and it was starting to clear up. Of course, it wasn't enough to change her life of crime… though it did make her a little nicer.
"No, I haven't." She stated, annoyed, looking as if she was thinking of other things at the moment. She wanted to be free as much as Clyde, but she doesn't have any ideas as to escape despite her usual resourcefulness. She did have a feeling that something would happen soon that'll help them get out, it was only a matter of time…
"Hey you two, there's a delivery for ya." A guard said as he slid the package under the little lockable door and left. It was the two strawberry desserts that Lilo bought a few minutes ago. Bonnie made a little smile in the counter of her mouth.
"Well, this is definitely a treat."

"Gaba naga aggaba?!!"
Stitch was also having a fit of monotony. He was in the house and was stuck in there due to the rain. It was driving him up the walls, literally. Lilo came through the door with her raincoat soaked. She hung up her raincoat, placed the icy goodness on a nearby table and watched, as Stitch was bounce around the place. She walked into the kitchen, finding Jumba working on his computer; possibly working on another project.
"Jumba, I think we have a problem." The young Hawaiian girl said. Jumba looked up from his computer, his four eyes pointing in Lilo's general direction.
"Vhat is this problem ve are having, did Hamsterwheel did the escaping of the asteroid prison again?" He asked in his eastern European accent, raising a 'brow' in interest.
"No, it the experiments. They been acting a bit… strange recently." She said, trying to explain with some difficulty.
"Let me be guessing, experiments act energetically erratic and look mentally deranged?"
"Uhh…" Jumba sighed, forgetting that little girl doesn't know such technical words.
"They, how you say, look hyper, bored and/or crazy?"
"Yeah, how did you know?" She had a surprised look on her face; well, more curious then surprised.
"Experiment 626 has been bouncing off the walls since you left." He stated, rubbing his eyes for some reason. Most likely from the frustration caused by Stitch.
"Is there anyway to help them?" With the question, Jumba started thinking. After about a minute, he was slowly smiling… evilly.
"Vell… There is a way… it will also be the perfect opportunity to testevil-genius's latest invention-project." He then starts explaining to Lilo about his little plan, as Stitch was too busy playing on his ukulele.
That's is for now, tune in next time to see what happens next.
