Lilo and Stitch: The Federation Chronicles
Chapter 1
The Beginning of the End
Author's Notes: Every chapter will be opened with Asnavee speaking on the events; her dialogue will be in italics. Also, thoughts are in italics but are close to the normal lettering. As for the time line, this story fits after the events of the Lilo and Stitch saga. Enjoy and have a great time. I do not own the Lilo and Stitch franchise, but I own all original characters, organizations, and weaponry.

The Galactic Federation…
10 millennia ago, this government was founded by the early space faring aliens that made contact with each other. Its history is shrouded in mystery, and its rise along with it. But the fall is known only to a few select individuals who have witnessed what the Federation truly was.
The Galactic Federation began as mentioned; it originally started as a bureau for alliances that were political, military, or economical. As the years passed, more planets began to join this alliance, evolving into a Federation whose objective was to keep the peace, bring democracy to the galaxy, and settle disputes peacefully.
But not all was bright, under those promises laid the sick ambition of some worlds. Some of the worlds were under the dominion of monarchies and used the Federation as a front and excuse to gain more influence or get new territories.
Like every government, it was not perfect. Corruption, lies, and secrets roamed the seats of the Galactic Council, its fall was beginning to start.
The beginning of the end started one day in the Xenon Sector. The Galactic Armada's 565th Task Fleet taking part in anti-Pirate activities to reduce piracy in that area of space located. Enter Reuben, Master Chief Petty Officer. Reuben was escaping the infamous Pirate Admiral Krystal of the infamous Maltese Pirates. Reuben fearing for his life fled to what seemed an abandoned space station; in there he will discover the secrets of the Galactic Federation…
Reuben looked at his damaged and fighter and sighed. There was nothing here that could help him now. He had to explore the station to find the tools necessary to fix up his ship and leave. Reuben wore a custom uniform to suit his body's needs, decorated with his rank and with a boonie hat to top his head off. He carried a custom bullpup rifle, a pistol, and a cutlass.
Taking the elevator down, he wondered what awaited him. As he stepped out, he looked around his surroundings and walked slowly. "Hello? This MCPO Reuben of the Galactic Armada, is anybody here?" There was no reply. Reloading his rifle, he took peeps around the corners and found nothing but darkness.
From the roofs, several eyes looked at him and then vanished. He heard noises coming from a corridor and decided to investigate. Aiming his rifle at the sides, he opened the door and stepped inside. He heard the noises of bites, a strange creature was feasting in the body of a Federation scientist wearing a black coat. The creature sensed Reuben and began to walk towards him.
"Freeze!" Reuben commanded but the creature just kept walking towards him. "I said freeze!" The creature extended its claws and began to dash towards Reuben. The yellow experiment quickly moved out of the way and quickly fired his pistol in the spine of the creature. The creature gave a shriek and then there was complete silence. "What in God's name is this?" He touched the creature.
The creature was shaped after the raptors that made most of the Federation's forces. There was something different about it: increased claws, agility, and power. It didn't seem to have any higher though process but with its skills, it made it look dangerous.
"I better get out of here," Reuben exited and rushed towards the way he came. Several of the raptors came, growling and hissing at him. "Not more of these guys," Reuben kept his rifle close and began to back away. "Stand back guys, I'm warning you." Cold sweat began to come out as the creatures were getting closer. Without thinking, Reuben took flight and rushed from the pursuers, trying to lose them. Adrenaline was coursing through his veins, he panted and took refuge in a corner, seeing his attackers pass by.
"That was close," Reuben told himself and checked the magazine of his bullpup rifle. Full magazine, better save the rounds for the worse. Reuben's custom rifle was a fuse between the FAMAS, the G36, and Steyr AUG. A door automatically opened as the sensors felt Reuben's presence. With curiosity, Reuben took a peep and found horrors unknown to anyone.
Reuben saw experiments, not like him, but experiments that destroyed the insides, turning the innocent creatures into agents of death. His stomach began to revolve, making him sick. He barfed in disgust as he read the designation number and who created.
Project Alpha 0453
Created by the Galactic Federation
Reuben saw what the Galactic Federation did. But why are they doing this? "I don't understand, why is the Federation doing this?" Reuben said, then heard the glass being impacted. Reuben backed away and then cold gas escaped, shards of glass lie on the floor. As the gas cleared up, Dragon-class Experiment with the heart exposed came out, growling and drooling as it found its freedom. "A Space Dragon! I thought you were extinct!" Reuben took aim.
Space Dragons looked like the mythical dragons but these were real and could be found in several planets and in space. Their metabolism allowed them to survive without the need of oxygen. 900 years ago, Space Dragons became too much of a threat and were killing innocents and destroying cargo ships. In response to this threat, the Galactic Federation issued Order 9335 Alpha: Genocide.
The Galactic Federation used such order to destroy threats far too powerful or simply to destroy a species that was reproducing quickly. A century later, Space Dragons were thought to be extinct, until now.
The dragon roared and flapped his wings violently, opening his mouth which released the smell of death into Reuben's nose. The door automatically locked. Reuben was dead if he didn't think of something. Putting his rifle away, he took out his pistol and reloaded it. "OK lizard boy, you want some of this?" He showed the dragon his fat, juicy body. "Then come and get me scale face."
The dragon roared and lunged towards Reuben. Quickly reacting, the yellow experiment dodged and saw the dragon hit his head with the wall. Taking aim, he fired several bullets to the beast but the skin was just taking them. Reloading quickly, he kept on firing. The dragon then turned and began to open his mouth, releasing several blasts of plasma toward him. Glass began to shatter while fires started around the lab. Alarms began to wail all over the station.

"Alpha is out," Grand Admiral Greer Hamsterviel said as he looked at the holographic screen that showed Reuben fighting the dragon. "We can't hide this anymore, the rest of the Galaxy will find out about our secret programs."
"It appears the Galactic Federation is finished," Asnavee began to walk out of the Grand Admiral's office.
"You're just going to walk out after this?" The brown furred blue eyed rodent exclaimed in anger.
"You can always put the blame to your older brother, the Doctor." Asnavee suggested as she left the office.
"Damn it!" Greer impacted the desk with a fist.
Asnavee went to her office in the basement of the building in a secret location. Sitting her chair, she placed her paw in the armrest which had a touchpad keyboard. Typing in a code sequence, she saw how Reuben was doing with the battle. "Reuben my lad," Asnavee said a grin. "Your actions have made a chain of events that will lead the Federation to its very end. It'll take a wee time to see what you have unleashed into the Galaxy."
Space Colony K-903 Alpha
Reuben only dodged the plasma attack coming from the dragon's mouth. The red-orange flames nearly burned him to his death. Taking aim with his pistol, he began to pull the trigger, sending the bullets flying, the shots bounced off. "Dang it," Reuben reloaded and kept on firing. The dragon opened his mouth again and was charging up energy. Taking this as a chance, Reuben fired into the mouth, making the dragon close it, this burning its insides.
The dragon roared violently as blood rained down. With a mean growl, the mouth opened and then caught Reuben. "No you don't!" Taking out his cutlass, he swung it at the beast's nose, releasing him as the dragon began to roar. "There has to be a way to beat this thing." Reuben then had an idea.
The dragon recovered and began to fire balls out plasma from its mouth. As it was charging another attack, another bullet impacted the roof of the mouth. With a loud roar, the dragon was stunned. Running and landing quickly on the face of death. Reuben took out his blade and began slicing the eyes of the beast. Pus, eye fluids, and blood flew out as he groaned as the blade flew. The dragon shook him off and began to fire its plasma at everything in range.
Standing up in its two legs, the belly of the dragon was exposed. "Just what I needed to see," Twirling his pistol, Reuben pulled the trigger, releasing bullets rapidly into the weak spot of the dragon. "Yeah, that's what I am talking about." Reuben reloaded and kept pulling the trigger. The bullet flew and the chemical case dissolved.
The dragon got back in its four feet and began to stomp the floor with anger and hate. Reuben saw that the door was nothing more than molten metal, rushing towards it before a blast of plasma burnt him to death.
The dragon was sniffing the air and following Reuben. Reuben checked his pistol, it was only the last magazine. "I swear," Reuben told himself. "Next time I'm buying a C-96P from Kitsune and never have to deal with this problem ever again." The dragon was getting closer to him. Reuben began to run without stop, taking lefts and rights while a angry dragon chased him. He stopped and saw a dead end, he took out his rifle and was ready when the time came.
The dragon appeared and began to charge up for the final plasma blast that would kill Reuben. Reuben was sweating with fear and tried to fire. The gun only gave a loud click. "Come on Come on come on!" Reuben found out that the magazine was jammed. The dragon was ready to do the final blast until the rifle began to work properly. The blue muzzle flash glowed, sending blue tracer rounds at the mouth. Blood oozed out in small gushes. Wasting all the ammo, the gun gave the loud signaling click. "This it… Good bye cruel world."
Suddenly, there was several gunshots from nowhere. Reuben saw blood fly as blue tracer rounds impacted the skin of the dragon, thus making it spread its wings one more time before giving a death growl. "Need help handsome?" A feminine voice said.
Reuben recognized the voice. "Angel?"
"Reuben," Angel said gladly. "Long time no see." She spoke perfect English.
"Angel," Reuben said as he walked towards Angel. "So it is true."
"True?" Angel said confused but with a friendly smile. "What do you mean?"
"So the rumors were true," Reuben said. "You broke up with Stitch and now you're working for an unknown organization."
"I can say both are true." Angel, who was wearing a battle uniform with an angel winged-katana in the shoulder as the insignia.
"Why?" Reuben wanted to know.
"Life down at Earth was really boring, with the Kitsune-Vixy rivalry over, I can say that the globe-trotting adventures were over, and Stitch… well the poor guy had no course in his life, living with the Ohana with Lilo."
Reuben thought of Lilo. "How's Lilo?"
"She's good," Angel said. "Last time I saw her, she was in High School, still the same old Lilo, trying to get that redheaded girl's friendship, it amazes me really how she never gives up that easily, makes me wonder if she's a superhuman in a sense."
"Yeah," Reuben remembered the last time he saw Lilo, during the whole Leroy Affair.
"So tell me Reuben, how'd you end up in this top secret facility?" Angel eyed Reuben.
"Top secret?" Reuben was dazed. "I mean, I saw the whole experiments and the freaking Dragon, what else was this place? Some breeding pen?"
Angel reloaded her Wesker SMG; the gun was a fuse between the Thompson SMG and the MP40. The gun had the stock and pistol grip as the first half. The second half had the barrel, sight, magazine, and feeding system. Angel held it like the movies, since that's how the MP40 was carried as depicted.
"We better get out of here," Angel said. "But before I do," The pink experiment approached the dragon and extracted some blood. Putting the blood in a test tube, she placed a rubber cork and placed it away.
Both got to the hangar. Angel's ship was the pink fighter with the two long laser cannons on the hull while Reuben's was the damaged fighter that looked like a small jet fighter with four wings in "X" position. "Need help fixing her up?"
"Yeah," Reuben said as he felt the laser burns on the armor plating of his ship.
Angel threw him some tools and boarded her ship. "See ya around." The pink craft launched into space and vanished as a star twinkled.
Reuben sighed. "Women… who understands them." He began fix up his ship. Boarding the ship, he brought it back to life and launched to space…

Grand Councilwoman's Office
"It seems project Alpha as been destroyed," An anthropomorphic rooster said with anger. "We'll have to cancel Project Alpha and the rest."
"I feel your anger Senator D'erek." The Grand Councilwoman said as she closed the folder. "The Federation has invested a lot of credits into this project, only for it to fail…I am afraid that the Federation's end is nearing."
"No!" D'erek said. "The Federation is nearly beginning and soon will expand to the unruly sectors of the galaxy and soon there will democracy and peace." Making a feathery fist, he looked at the stars. "Everything for the Federation."
