"High Dive from Heaven"

a fanfic by Jacob "Robertoa" Corley

Prologue

Stitch desperately tried to claw his way out of the net unable to find a flaw in the material into which he could insert his claws. He could hear 625 calling out, "Angel's coming to live with us now! Bad guys win this round!"

After a moment, he found a seam in the tightly woven net and ripped the bag to pieces. "Angel!!" he called out as soon as he got to his feet, but Gantu and 625 were long gone.

Lilo tried to cheer up Stitch. "Don't worry Stitch, we'll get her back. It's like you said: you gotta believe in love."

Gantu marched grudgingly back to his ship with 624 in the capsule strapped on his back. 625 followed him closely, staring through the glass.

Once he got back into the ship, Gantu opened the capsule and dumped 624 onto the floor. He then picked her up and took her to the lower level to be transported to Dr. Hämsterviel. 625 followed closely. "Wait, Gantu!"

Gantu didn't bother to turn around, since he considered 625 the cause of all that had gone wrong with his plan, as usual. "What do you want, trog?"

625 ignored the insult to deal with... greater matters. "Why are you sending her off now?"

"Why shouldn't I?" Gantu requested authoritatively.

625 tried to sort out his words before he spoke. "I'm sure she'd make great... company... for a few days, at least. After all, it has been just you and me since we landed here."

Gantu thought for a moment, looking at 624. He had let some of the other experiments stay with him in his ship for at least a day before sending them off and figured that this was no different. If nothing else, Gantu thought to himself, she'll keep 625 off my back. "I suppose a few days wouldn't hurt. She might be... helpful in some way."

"Great!" 625 exclaimed. "I'll go make her up a bed."

The next morning, when Gantu went to check on 624, he found that she was not in her bed. Blitznag, he thought, please tell me she's not where I think she is. Knowing immediately where to check, he stormed into 625's room, grabbed 624, took her to the lower level of the ship, and sealed her in an inactive teleporter capsule. He then turned to face 625, who had followed the two of them.

Gantu yelled at the top of his lungs, "Don't you dare touch her again!!"

"Whaaaat?" 625 asked. "You said we could keep her for a while!"

Gantu sighed angrily and sternly told 625, "If you so much as think about her before she gets sent to Hämsterviel..." At a loss for words, he left the assumption of consequences up to 625. With that, Gantu grabbed 625, threw him in the elevator, and rode back up to the main level, leaving 624 alone in the dark storage room. 624 sneered, but she knew it would do no good. She may have appeared powerless at the time, but she knew it would all change. She knew it would be some time before she would have her revenge, before she return to her Stitch and make them pay for stealing her love from her, but she knew the day would come. And when it did, she would be ready.
