Rhonda's Saga: New Beginnings

by Rhonda Petrie

After a fellow agent is captured during a failed attempt to kill Gavin Lucheski, a female rookie must head out to Kazakhstan with her two experiments to rescue him from his evil clutches. But will she succeed?

4. Onward To France!

Author's Notes:

Okay, now the action really starts here! It appears that the experiments are on the loose and Rhonda and the gang must go out and find them; as they embark on a quest to re-capture them, they soon find that they might be getting more than they bargained for, especially when they get into the seedy underside of one of the most beloved countries of the world.

Chapter 4 – Onward to France!

The Big Red Battleship was now flying over the warm waters of Normandy as it was entering the borders of France; Rhonda was dozing off slightly while daydreaming about her own thoughts. Talon was propped up in his chair while reading from a Batman comic. Cobra Bubbles was sitting perfectly still with a stoic, blank face as he remained motionless with Shush curled up into his lap, sleeping.

Sergeant Lieutenant Nelson was steering the spaceship into a local restricted military area off the coast as he was diving towards it slowly with the aircraft hovering gradually to the ground. As soon as the spaceship landed on its spot, the platform lowered down onto the pavement and the door opened up, prompting Nelson to shut off the engine.

He then went over to the others and shook them awake one by one. "Rise up, young ones; we're now in France," he informed them as Rhonda stirred from her slumber and unbuckled herself before packing up her things and standing up to her feet; Talon also packed up his belongings before grabbing them and turning to face the British police sergeant lieutenant.

"You two better stay close to me; we might be confronted by some military men that might see us as intruders," Nelson instructed the children as Dmitrii Alexandrov, Shush, and Cobra Bubbles also got up to their feet and they all boarded out of the spaceship.

It was then that some of the soldiers noticed the gang walking through the restricted area and marched up to them. "Halt! Who goes there?" one of the soldiers barked at them as Cobra Bubbles flashed his badge along with Dmitrii Alexandrov and Sergeant Lieutenant Nelson.

"This is CIA Agent Cobra Bubbles and Dmitrii Alexandrov of the FSB; this is also Sergeant Lieutenant Harry Nelson commissioned from London, England," Cobra Bubbles introduced himself while gesturing over to Rhonda and Talon. "These are agents Rhonda Petrie-Seymour and Talon Seymour; we're looking for a couple of genetically mutated alien experiments that might be here in France. Have you seen them?"

"Oh no; we haven't seen them anywhere; sorry," the French soldier shrugged sadly with a thin line. Cobra Bubbles then shook his head while scratching it. "Well, we don't really have anywhere else to look, and we certainly can't go to every country and ask them where they are," he sighed.

"But can't you use your CIA connections to try to find them?" Rhonda squeaked as Cobra Bubbles took off his glasses while wiping his eyes. "I certainly can; as a matter of fact, I might be able to contact Interpol and inform them about the rogue experiments. They just might be able to capture them. Also we could use the help of the FBI," he said as Rhonda nodded.

"Come on; we better get going," she declared as the gang soon moved out into the outskirts of the city.

They were soon walking through the marketplace in Paris as they saw many of the citizens walking about peacefully with birds chirping and singing gaily in the air; the sun was overcast in the sky as some clouds were gathering in the heavens and there were other people standing in some vendors selling all kinds of products, including jewelry, fish, shrimp, clothing, antiques, knickknacks and even some animals.

"Fish! Get yer lovely fish! It is fresh from the sea!" a Frenchman started bellowing out while holding up an unusually large mackerel, which must have weighed about 6 pounds. Another man was displaying a tray of delicious pastries and other sweets that were especially tantalizing, including éclairs, and the man next to him was just selling bread, mainly croissants.

However, there was a man dressed in a heavy overcoat with a loose fitting black blouse, a pair of leather pants, and some Wellington boots along with a fedora, and he was a dark-skinned man with a mustache and a long, haggard and rugged face along with a muscular, towering and statuesque body.

He was standing in a peculiar vendor with a cardboard box filled with lion cubs, many of them scrawny and tiny with sunken, dark and hollow eyes with black markings around them and on their ears and face. Some of them had small hair tufts that look like fluff while others had long, angular yet sleek faces.

One of them was a diminutive, slender yet thin teal green cub with a short, rounded yet slanted face, an overbite, small tufts of black fluff on her head, dark black patches around her eyes with bold tips on her ears; she also had some chest fluff with a crème white underbelly and legs that reached all the way to her knees and a dark, large tail tuft; she even had dark ruby eyes. Her name was Deidre.

The second one was a skinny, thin and lean dark amber-colored cub with small paws, an enlarged, boxed and angular head with a long, delicate yet soft face with light yellow markings around her eyes and underbelly; she also had white paw markings along with dark bold tips on her ears and a black tail along with light topaz eyes. Her name was Sheena.

The third cub was a vermillion cub with magenta markings around her eyes and underbelly and she also had a muscular, strong yet lean body with large paws and a black tail tuft; she also has small tufts of hair on her head with dark bold tips on her ears and midnight blue eyes. She also had a scruffy, craggy yet rugged face. Minerva was her name.

"Look! I see some lion cubs!" Talon cried as he, Rhonda and the others rushed over to see them. It was then that Cobra Bubbles approached the Greek man and flashed his badge.

"Good day, sir; are those cubs for sale?" he retorted crisply as the Greek man glanced up to look at him and was mortified. And before the middle-aged CIA man could react, he grabbed the cardboard box containing the lioness cubs and immediately took off.

"Get him!" Talon roared as he put on his goggles and super charged power gloves before flourishing out his plasma blaster while loading it up and he raced off after the man, with Cobra Bubbles, Dmitrii Alexandrov, Shush, Rhonda and Sergeant Lieutenant Nelson in hot pursuit.

Rhonda then unsheathed her weapon while slamming the ammo into the plasma blaster before putting on her target goggles as she pushed a button on the right side of the goggles, causing the infrared vision of the perpetrator to be within their sights.

"I see him!" she yelled as she put on the super charged power gloves and charged right at him. The mysterious Greek man then shoved and pushed his way through the crowd and the denizens looked on in astonishment and disbelief, with the heroes whizzing past them.

"Federal agents coming through!" Sergeant Lieutenant Nelson yelled as he took out his shotgun and prepared to shoot.

The Greek man then dashed over to the bridge that was hovering over the Seine River and then spun around to see Rhonda, Talon, Dmitrii and the others lunging right for him. "Stop! Stop! Stop right there! What are you doing with those cubs?" Dmitrii bellowed as he, Cobra Bubbles, Sergeant Lieutenant Nelson, Rhonda and Talon all pulled their weapons at him.

"I will never tell! I would soon die rather than reveal to you my intentions with dez little cubs!" the Greek man declared in an ominous voice as he climbed over the railing and was about to jump into the river.

"No! Don't jump!" Talon and Rhonda chorused as they rushed over to save the lioness cubs, but then the Greek man attempted to throw a kick at them; it was then that Talon grabbed his leg and held onto it as the man stumbled about clumsily and tipped over into the river; within moments, the three of them plummeted into the river as there was a loud splash and it was all silent.

Cobra Bubbles and the other men peered downward towards the river as they looked at each other. "Cobra, I think we better rescue them," Dmitrii informed the older black man as Sergeant Lieutenant Nelson then dove into the river and started paddling towards the children, who were by now being dragged towards the current; Cobra Bubbles, Shush and Dmitrii Alexandrov soon jumped in after them.

"Don't worry, lass and laddie, we'll get you!" Dmitrii Alexandrov bellowed as he swam closer to the gang as they were cruising farther and farther into the river and they were being knocked about by the rapids. Talon then shrieked at the top of his lungs as the Greek man put a gun to his head, with Rhonda trying to hang on to the cardboard box with the lioness cubs.

"Please save us!" Minerva whimpered as she was clinging to the edge and the strong force of the currents was causing one of the sides of the cardboard box to open up slowly, making it gradually fall apart. "I'm trying!" Rhonda wailed as the cardboard box slipped out of her hands and she was drifting closer to the edge of the waterfall.

Fortunately, she saw a huge boulder wedged near the waterfall and she used all of her strength to fight against the magnetic pull of the rapids and lunge towards it; within moments she was able to grab onto it and hunch over it as much as possible for dear life.

The cardboard box was now getting increasingly soaked as the sides were breaking up piece by piece and they were slowly peeling off like a banana. The cubs were mewing and squeaking pitifully as they were pawing and swiping at the cardboard desperately while trying to stay afloat. But then Dmitrii Alexandrov lunged towards the cardboard box and caught it just in time as it flattened up like a pancake. The cubs were now in trouble.

One of the cubs then tumbled straight into the water and was now thrashing frantically as she was trying desperately to stay above water. "Help! Help! Help me!" she mewed as the lioness cubs looked on in shock and terror. "Don't worry, Kina, we'll save you!" one of her sisters, who was light icy blue, cried out as a dark silver cub peered down with a stricken expression, along with another one with beige fur.

"I'm scared! I'm gonna drown!" Kina whimpered as Dmitrii Alexandrov scooped the little cub up in his arms and placed her back onto the cardboard as he took out his knapsack and opened it up.

"Get inside this bag; you'll be safe," he hissed urgently as the lioness cubs nodded and they all jumped in one by one; Kina, however, gazed up at the Russian man and nuzzled deep into his cheek gratefully before jumping into the knapsack as well.

Dmitrii then closed it slightly so there would be some opening left for the cubs to breathe in. He then looked over to see that Rhonda was still clinging tightly to the boulder, but she was slipping quickly; he watched her fingers pry off the surface one by one as she was about to be dragged away into the waterfall. He then turned to see Sergeant Lieutenant Nelson holding Talon by the crook of his shoulder and trying to paddle to shore while Cobra Bubbles and the Greek man were having a violent tussle in the water.

Dmitrii then propelled himself through the water as he was dashing swiftly towards Rhonda, who was about to slip away from his sight. "Mr. Dmitrii! Help me! I can't hold on much longer!" she wailed as Dmitrii soon reached her and Rhonda lunged out to grab him; unfortunately, she was unable to reach for his hand in time and the currents just yanked her away from him as she soon took a death-defying plunge towards the waterfall. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"NOOOOO! Rhonda!" Dmitrii shrieked as he then turned to see Cobra Bubbles holding his opponent's head underwater in an attempt to drown him; however, he felt a swift kick to his groin and the moment he was dazed from the sudden blow, the Greek man then delivered a swift uppercut to the head and a side kick to the side, causing him to be knocked out instantaneously.

"Rhonda! Rhonda! Rhonda! Come back!" Talon sobbed hysterically as the shaking middle-aged man emerged from the water and Talon clung to him bitterly as if he was his father with the veteran police detective rubbing soothing circles into his back. The Greek man then swam towards the direction of the waterfall and soon disappeared in no time.

By the time Cobra Bubbles woke up from his slumber, he was astounded and mortified to find that his suspect had gotten away. "Damn it!" he muttered while slamming his fist onto the surface as a group of people soon rushed over to see what was going on.

"What is the meaning of this?" a French police detective demanded in a harsh, barking and stringent voice as he was accompanied by his fellow female detective, who was his partner, and a local FBI agent who was on loan from Memphis, Tennessee. "Monsieur Detective Pierre Lupe and Mademoiselle Karri Campion, a pleasure to see you," Cobra Bubbles greeted the two French detectives in a friendly manner while turning to the novice FBI agent. "And I take it that you are…"

"Jerry. Jerry Marshall. I just joined the FBI a couple of weeks ago and my boss assigned me to a case here; he wants me to work with the French police detectives to investigate this ruby smuggling ring that is being perpetuated by foreigners that are operating in
this country."

"It appears that there are several countries such as Argentina, Greece, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Vietnam, Russia, South Africa, Venezuela, Colombia and even Cuba that are smuggling, appropriating and selling rubies for profit in exchange for selling various creatures such as lion cubs, elephant calves, tiger cubs, hippos, and even alien experiments; they would capture and enslave anything that has even a remote value for their own personal gain."

"Of course this doesn't necessarily mean that the governments are involved in this scandal; on the contrary, sir. Instead, there are several factions that contain drug dealers, drug enforcers, slave owners, plantation owners, artisans, jewelers, and even soldiers for hire that are being sponsored by the Lucheskists themselves."

"There also seems to be several state-owned organizations such as dog obedience schools that are violating alien civil rights by having the alien experiment pets being enrolled in their facilities for obedience training, only to have them castrated, spayed or neutered on a whim, without the prior knowledge or permission of their owners on the slightest infraction, such as dog fighting."

"Once they return home to their families, they are often lethargic, listless and lacking energy, and to make matters worse, they are unable to bear offspring. And this is only in France! We're not sure if this is happening in other countries so far, although there are reports of this happening in Great Britain too."

"My God, this is horrible; where are you getting this information?" Cobra Bubbles gaped in dismay and alarm. "I think it was the FBI and Interpol that has been getting this information for quite some time now. We've been getting more information on riots in the Midwest and the South, including Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Colorado, Virginia, the Carolinas, and Louisiana."

"And there is a growing movement calling on the mandatory spaying and neutering of alien experiments for the purpose of 'population control'. These activists claim that the alien experiments are somehow corrupting the main fringe of society and the entire planet will eventually fall to the aliens because of humanity's inability to tell from intruders to well deserving natural born citizens."

"Anyways, we better go report this incident to the French president and try to figure out a way to rescue your lost missus from this treacherous Greek bastard; I have a feeling that he might know something about his identity," Pierre interjected with a gusty sigh.

Dmitrii Alexandrov, Sergeant Lieutenant Nelson, Cobra Bubbles, Shush and the lioness cubs soon got out of the river as Pierre then led them to the president's suite located somewhere in Paris.

Meanwhile, Rhonda was lying unconscious with her body wrapped around in chains and locked up in a cage as she was in the back of a moving spaceship; she then slowly opened up her eyes and moved about slightly before slowly sitting up to see somebody piloting the spaceship.

"Where am I? Who are you?" she growled in a demanding voice. The mysterious driver then peered over his shoulder to grin at her, and Rhonda immediately could tell who it was; it was the same Greek man that she and her team had been pursuing earlier.

"Ah, you must be awake," he remarked in a heavily thick Greek accent as he lit up a cigar and puffed on it. "The name is Thelonious Onassis, former agent for the Atlas Olympus Federal Bureau; I decided to quit the agency after they, along with the rest of the country, elected to side with those filthy and uncouth beasts they call 'alien experiments'."

"I wanted no part of it. I don't ever want my beautiful country of Greece to ever be contaminated and tainted by these vicious, brutal and uncivilized brutes; so help me Zeus, I want all of them wiped out from the face of the earth!"

There was an unsettling, uncomfortable silence as he took another puff of his smoke before turning to Rhonda. "Ah, yes; I also heard that your country of Great Britain is also involved in this scheme to let the alien invasion gradually take over the entire human race. It will be the end of us all, I guarantee it!"

"So I've come up with a plan; I've decided to found my own plantation using my retirement funds somewhere in the island of Ceres and hire the richest, most affluent and illustrious people in the country, and also all over so many other countries. I've also hired some mercenaries to go and hunt down for some aliens and capture them for slave labor. I've even hired some plantation owners and slave owners to oversee their work and I've even sent over some children from some other countries to help me maintain and care for the plantation."

"I have some plans for you yet; you will become one of my many slaves and you will have to work several hours a day, from sunrise to sunset. If you do not obey me, your overseer or the plantation owner, you will be punished severely. Is that clear?"

Rhonda then nodded exhaustively as Thelonious grinned evilly and he turned back to driving the spaceship. Eventually they arrived at the island of Ceres in one of the most desolate and isolated spots in all of Greece, where a white dot could be seen from a distance and where there were many multi-colored flowers and plants.

Rhonda then blinked her eyes several times to get the stinging sensation out of them as the cage knocked back onto the ground with the sudden sensation of the gravitational pull dragging down onto her; the spaceship then dove down several feet below as it landed in the runway in front of the plantation and he shut off the engine. As soon as he got out of the cockpit, he then approached Rhonda and got her out of the cage before emerging out of the vehicle.

They soon entered the premises of the plantation as Rhonda saw many birds and crickets flying around with a ladybug settling in her hair. They soon came to a local orchid field where there were several anthropomorphic animals and other creatures toiling and working on the soil with beads of sweat dripping down their faces and exhaustion aching in every inch of their bodies.

A young hippo calf then glanced over to see Thelonious arriving with Rhonda in hand and was excited. "Hey, look guys! There's a new one coming in!" he shouted as all eyes fell on Rhonda.

"Hello, Thelonious. What do we have here?" a tall, muscular yet strikingly handsome man with a prominent jaw, a square, broad yet rugged head, a rubbery, heavyset yet haggard face, and a dark olive complexion with dark golden brown hair and dressed in a camouflage uniform with the insignia and rank on either side of his shoulders, with an emblem of his country's flag on the right side; he also spoke in a thick Argentine accent.

"A young girl from Great Britain; I managed to fish her out of the river in France and fly her all of the way here," was Thelonious's answer as the man smiled warmly with a charismatic look in his eyes. "That is very well; she looks like a fine young lady. I think she might just be able to work here and will get along great with the other workers," he replied as he beckoned the two to follow him. "Come, follow me."

They soon ventured deep into the fields where some of the other workers were present and Rhonda gazed wondrously yet shyly at the strange creatures. The hippo calf then approached Rhonda while waving at her. "Hi there; my name is Hogan. What's yours?" he greeted her kindly as Rhonda sniffed.

"My name is Rhonda," she mumbled in a nearly inaudible, quiet voice as Hogan chuckled.
"Nice to meet you, Rhonda," he said as he soon dragged her away from the two grownups. "Come on; I want you to meet the rest of my friends."

They soon came across a group of various animals, with many of them different species of many different backgrounds. One was a light magenta female flamingo with circular, thin-rimmed spectacles on her small beak with dark sapphire eyes, a rectangular, plump yet rotund body and a long, gangling yet slender neck; she also had small feet, large wings and was only 2 feet tall.

Another animal was a young indigo-colored male kitten with big, wide and round scarlet eyes without any pupils or irises, dark purple chest fur, and a short, blunt, stubby tail with crème paw markings.

The third animal was a small loon with a large, pointy yet flat onyx beak, light teal feathers, sharp, curled yet gnarled talons, small, curved yet petite wings, a pronounced, haggard yet long face and a pair of beady ruby eyes with long eyelashes.

The fourth animal was a flaming hot red dachshund with dark brown, floppy yet short ears, a small, short yet docked tail, a slender, diminutive, yet stout body, an enlarged, angular yet boxed head with a skinny yet slanted face and beige markings on his face, chest and paws.

The fifth animal was a golden saffron little dachshund/Chihuahua mix that was extremely small for her age and had pointy, erect yet triangular ears, a long, stubby yet slim face with a spherical nose, a diminutive, wizened yet short body, tiny paws and a thin, minute tail.

The sixth and final animal was a furry young male creature that had soft, fluffy yet smooth buff fur with an oyster underbelly and was a mix of a dog, monkey and a lion. His face resembled very much like a dog's, specifically a miniature schnauzer or terrier, but he had the ears, head, and hands of a monkey, especially with the cream inner paws; he also has the body and legs of a lion, except for a stubby tail. However, he also has an overbite with a little fuzzy muzzle.

"These are my friends, Marjorie the flamingo, Lucie the loon, Kenny the kitten, Tiago the fire dachshund, Sicily the dachshund/Chihuahua mix, and Mookie the forest dweller. Mookie came from Russia and was snatched from his own family when he was only an infant."

"We were all taken from our families either before we were even born or during our first days of life. We have been sent to live in his desolate place to work for Mr. Onassis and Captain Sergeant Vinnie Montague so they can pay for the exports that are being sent to them. We've been slaves our entire lives and we don't even know what a family is."

"That's terrible," said Rhonda as she shook her head. "Look! Here he comes now!" Hogan shouted as Rhonda turned to see who it was, and she was surprised to see Vinnie and Thelonious standing right behind her.

"Looks like you need to learn a lesson," Vinnie declared in a cold, chilling and callous voice as he grabbed the young British girl by the arm and the two men dragged her into a barn, with the animals looking on.

"Oh no! This is terrible! Now they're going to beat the crap out of her just to break her spirit!" Kenny shuddered fearfully as Tiago and Sicily looked on in terror. "I don't like this; I hate the fact that they have to beat up the only living human girl we have so far," Tiago growled fiercely at his friends. "I just hope she's okay," Lucie replied worriedly.

"I think she can handle this; she may look timid and weak, but something tells me that she is a very feisty and strong girl," Marjorie reassured the gang as everyone glared at her. "How would you know?" Kenny sneered at her as the young flamingo shrugged. "Beats me," she said as Sicily began to shiver even more at the thought of Rhonda being beaten nearly an inch of her life. "I only hope she's okay."

It was then that Rhonda entered the barn and the door suddenly slammed shut with the light above the ceiling clicking on as Vinnie and Thelonious approached her slowly. Vinnie then grabbed a metal pipe from the ground and crept behind her slowly with an evil grin as Rhonda was standing still while looking around at her surroundings.

The animals were now congregated on the edge of a barn window hovering over the front door as they were watching the spectacle with stricken, consternated faces. "Look out!" Kenny yelled! "Run!" Lucie shrieked. "Run away for your life!" Tiago yelped.

Unfortunately, Vinnie then raised the pipe above his head as he was about to strike her. "So long, princess," he sneered as he then swung down hard on her head.

Before Rhonda could even comprehend what was happening, she felt something light yet hard strike down behind her head as she blacked out instantly from the blow and collapsed onto the ground.

Vinnie then proceeded to kick, beat and buffet around her abdomen and stomach as he struck her in the chest and face several times with the pipe. Thelonious then lifted the unconscious and battered girl by her collar as he began to clobber, bash and clout her in the face and neck while continuing to punt and boot her in the abdomen; he then punched her several more times in the mouth, causing her to bleed out several with another fist slamming into her nose, breaking it.

She then nearly crumpled to the floor as Vinnie moved around for a little bit with his fists still up as he delivered some more alternating kicks at her before swinging another sidekick at her stomach, causing her to collapse altogether.

Thelonious then charged right at her while kicking up his feet rapidly as he kept on barreling and rolling her onto the floor like a trash can while throwing and swinging in even more swift kicks to her chest.

Then once Rhonda's wounds began to break out and bleed profusely, Vinnie then swung a whip right at her and began to hack, rip and tear through her face with scars crossing her eyes as he then moved down to her body and cracked it harder than he had ever been before. Vinnie then kept on lashing out his whip right at her as her clothes start to tear out enormously with even more blood pouring out of her widening wounds.

Thelonious then handed a bludgeon to his partner, at which he lifted it up and slammed it right into her head, causing her skull to fracture and nearly split in two. After this, he put the weapon down as they lifted her out of the barn and disappeared into the back; they soon came to a graveyard where there were several bodies being buried all over them, many of them several months to a year or two old.

Vinnie then grabbed a shovel while he and Thelonious walked over to an empty spot before he thrust it into the hard, unpaved ground and started digging and carving out a hole. A small hill of dirt and soil began to pile up considerably as it grew from an anthill to nearly the size of a termite mound, and as they continued to dig out even more dirt, Thelonious was cradling a lifeless Rhonda in his arms with her face as pale and dull as ash.

Finally the grave was finished as the former Greek agent dumped the young girl's body into the hole and he and Vinnie spread much of the soil and dirt over it in an attempt to cover it up; as soon as they destroyed the mound and reduced it to a thin film of sand, they made sure that the grave was completely even, smooth and free of wrinkles.

"We're done here, let's go," Vinnie informed his partner in crime as they departed from the graveyard and headed back to the barn.

"We got to do something! We can't just allow her to die!" Kenny exclaimed as the gang agreed. "Yeah, but what can we do? They'll kill us just as they did her if we try to dig her out of her grave," Lucie stammered anxiously. "I think we need to come up with a plan; tonight we're going back to the graveyard and get her out as soon as possible. Otherwise she's a goner!" Tiago wailed

"She'll be a goner if we don't get her sooner!" Marjorie growled at her friend as he growled back at her. "Hey, you take that back!"

"Guys, guys! Let's not fight! We have to work together!" Sicily insisted as everyone nodded in agreement. "She's right; we all have to cooperate together to save our new friend if we'll ever get her out of here," said Swoosie, who was a yellow Fraggle-like experiment with shoulder-length, scruffy yet feather orange hair that had fringes, greenish-blue eyes, a stubby, round yet spherical nose, a wide yet thin mouth and wearing a teal checkered and buttoned up blouse and a pair of jeans with some white shoes.

She was accompanied by her twin sister Mackie, who was an orange Fraggle-like experiment with red fluffy yet wild hair, raspberry eyes, a twisted, crooked yet narrow nose, a small chin, and a white vest jacket with a black blouse and a pair of black leather pants with some black shoes.

There were several alien experiments as well, most of them anthropomorphic, but some of them were humanoids and even some of them resembled a lot like androids.
"Meega gata lamamama!" an alien experiment shouted indignantly while cursing in his native tongue.

"Guys, I got a plan," Hogan announced as he gathered up his friends together and whispered it to them; soon they would figure out a way to free Rhonda from her imprisonment and hopefully bring her back to life.

Meanwhile, in the Okinawa province of Izayoi Island, which was located somewhere in Japan, Yuna was sitting in the kitchen table drinking some tea with her grandmother, Obaa.

She was accompanied by a yellow electric male experiment named Sparky, aka Experiment 221, who was now her boyfriend; Yuna then looked at Sparky lovingly as they held hands and Sparky laughed while holding out his pinky while still sipping from his tea.

"This is a lovely day, isn't it, Obaa?" Yuna replied to her grandmother, who nodded softly. "Yes it is; I'm glad the Alliance has finally left our island for good and that Atlas is no more. We were very close to having the yokai disappear forever as well as the Atlanteans and the experiments," the elderly woman answered.

"Yeah, but I can't imagine wondering what will happen if the entire planet were to have fallen under the Alliance's hands… Sparky and the other cousins would be gone forever and Joshua and Stitch would have never gotten to witness the births of their first child," Yuna sighed dejectedly as she continued to sip up on her tea.

As if on cue, Sparky then turned to Obaa and Yuna before saying, "Excuse me." and then abruptly left the table, causing the two women to look at him strangely. "I wonder what's going on with Sparky," Yuna mused quietly as Obaa shrugged. "It's such a beautiful day out here in the island; I wouldn't be surprised if Sparky wants to go out for a walk," she said.

Sparky then exited the house as he started walking into the forest slowly; he then started to feel the winds whip up through his fur and all of a sudden, he started to feel the electric currents stirring in the dead air; he then sniffed around for a few minutes and noticed that there was a strange odor… it smelled like… smoke?

The winds then spewed out wildly towards him like a torrent of water as he now saw the smoke spewing out of the trees with the birds fleeing for cover. "Negata," he growled as he took off into the air and zapped into the forest to investigate.

By the time he got into the forest, he saw hundreds of yokai scrambling for cover as one of them nearly knocked him to the ground; Sparky then took off again as he swiveled, careened and whipped rapidly through the branches and leaves like a jet stream or even a sidewinder while trying to get to the source of the fiery blaze. Finally he saw Kijimuuna sitting atop one of the tree branches for dear life as he saw even more fumes of smoke approaching him swiftly like clouds of death.

"Help! Sparky! Help me! I'm stuck on top of this tree!" the little yokai cried fearfully as one of the burning tree branches fell on top of him and he jumped away just in time, barely managing to hang on to another one. Sparky then lurched right for Kijimuuna as he snatched him away from the tree in the nick of time as the tree collapsed into the other tree and they both exploded into flames.

Sparky and Kijimuuna barreled towards the ground right as flying chars of ember discharged right at their faces and they covered their faces to avoid being stung. "Man, what is this, Sparky? I've never seen anything like this before! It's almost like it's a big fire monster!" Kijimuuna stammered as Sparky nodded. Then he grabbed the frightened little yokai and dragged him deeper into the burning forest.

It was then that they finally found the source of the blazing inferno: a spaceship that possibly came from another country had now been reduced to a crisp as the flames were now spreading beyond the original site and was engulfing practically the entire forest; it was almost like the two creatures were stuck deep within the pits of hell.

Then, out of the blue, a mysterious creature emerged from the burning rubble as it stepped out of the shadows along with yet another creature. Kijimuuna then let out a shrill cry as he hid behind Sparky and Sparky let out a snarl while retracting out his extra arms.

"Meega nala qweesta!" a deep, husky, feminine voice cackled from deep within the smoke as the two strange figures drew nearer the two males and it was finally that a dark blue blur lunged right at the yellow male experiment with glowing purple eyes.

Sparky was then caught with a side kick to the face as the mysterious alien pushed him into the air with a rolling kick; Sparky then let out a deep yell as he plummeted about 30 feet in the air before crashing onto the ground. As soon as he slowly got up to his feet, he was surprised to see that it was none other than Margo! "Cousin!" Sparky hissed while glaring fiercely at her.

"Well, well, well, why it isn't one of my little cousins. What is your name, kid?" Margo sneered as she retracted out her extra arms, antennae and back spines as Ophelia also emerged from the flames with her extra appendages exposed. "Meega Sparky, aka Experiment 221," was Sparky's answer as Margo cackled evilly.

"Experiment 221! How delightful! I'm Experiment 630; I was created about 5 years ago by Jumba Jookiba along with Experiment 631; however, Jumba decided to keep me dehydrated along with Experiment 628 in a safe deposit since I was deemed too dangerous to be activated. And there I sat for about 5 years, rotting and languishing away as if I were nothing more than trash."

"But then one day Jumba decided to ship me and Ophelia, who was just created about a couple of weeks before, to the MI-6 in London, England, and there we were activated by a couple of spoiled, rotten little kids named Rhonda and Talon. But then they sent us to this pathetic dog obedience school and one of those fucking trainers tried to have me sterilized after I simply got into a fight with another dog for insulting me; we decided to flee right then and there by borrowing an old spaceship from a junkyard and fly out of there."

"We tried to figure out a way to fly to another country so we can both live in peace and not to worry about any other pathetic humans terrorizing us ever again when Ophelia suggested we go to Japan since she knew the language and she felt that we would be more welcome there."

"I wanted to go to Kazakhstan and rescue a missing MI-6 agent named Jim Percival so we can go back home and bring him back to the agency, but Ophelia disagreed since she felt that going out there alone would be too dangerous for us. Ha! As if! I'm one of the strongest female experiments Jumba has ever created, perhaps even stronger and more powerful than 631, and how is it even possible for the two of us to be in serious danger?"

"Anyways, we got into a heated argument and I attacked Ophelia and then she accidentally fell on a lever that caused the spaceship to crash right into the forest below us; before we knew it, the spaceship exploded into flames and we blacked out. It wasn't until some minutes later that we managed to emerge out of our comas and get out of the wreckage."

"I don't think we should trust them, Sparky; they seem pretty dangerous; Margo has even said so herself that she's even more powerful than Naomi," Kijimuuna hissed softly and Sparky nodded before turning to the duo. He then studied them closely as he did a once over while thinking whether or not he should even accept them.

If his hunch was correct, these experiments might pose a grave threat to Japan and they might even put the entire island into peril again like with the recent Alliance threat. On the other hand, they were still family, and he did recall that he was evil just like the rest of his cousins once, and it appeared that Margo and Ophelia seemed to have some sort of mistrust towards humans due to their initial bad experience with the dog obedience school in London. Maybe Yuna can convince them to turn a new leaf and possibly be more accepting of humans.

"Welcome, cousins," he finally declared as he shook both of their hands. "Welcome to you too, Sparky," Ophelia chuckled. "Ichariba Chodei to you too, Margo and Ophelia; isa means when we meet, we become family," Sparky explained to the experiments as the two of them nodded. "Thank you for accepting us, I guess. Maybe you two aren't so bad after all," Margo sighed.

It was then that Ophelia transformed into a water dragon and levitated into the air as she began to spew and discharge water all over the place; as spouts of water struck and pelted onto the burning wood, the flames simmered and died out gradually as billows of smoke emerged from the burnt rubble. Gradually, the entire forest was cleansed of the inferno as the charred remains were left behind and much of the forest still stayed intact.

Just then, Yuna and Obaa rushed into the forest with panicked and stricken faces as they came right over to Sparky and Kijimuuna. "Sparky! Kijimuuna! Are you okay?" Yuna panted rapidly as she stooped over to catch her breath.

Obaa then let out a shriek as she beheld the destruction and ruin right before her eyes. "Ayah! What has happened here?" she wailed as she laid her eyes on Margo and Ophelia, who both gave her sheepish glances. "Did you do this?"

"Isa accident, Obaa! Margo and Ophelia crashed here by mistake while on their way to Kazakhstan to rescue friend from MI-6!" Sparky quickly explained in his broken English as Yuna and Obaa focused their complete attention on him. "Sparky, is this true?" Yuna gasped.

"It is true, for the most part, but I was the one who wanted to go to Japan; Margo insisted we go to Kazakhstan," Ophelia spoke up as Margo sneered at her. "It was your fault we crashed here in the first place!" she snapped. "Me? You're the one who pushed me on the control panel, butt-face!" Ophelia growled.

"Tramp!"

"Whore!"

"Slut!"

"Bitch!"

"C-"

"Stop it already!" Yuna exploded in a shrill speak as Margo and Ophelia fell silent at her outburst. The young Japanese teenager then cleared her throat. "Now listen here, you two! You go and clean up this forest right now! It was both of your faults that the yokai lost half of their home thanks to your petty selfishness!" she shouted angrily at them as Ophelia whimpered. "Sokka…" she muttered with her ears hanging low as Margo looked on in surprise and dismay. "But… But…"

"I said now!" Yuna roared as Margo and Ophelia turned to walk away as the young girl glared at her friends. "Come on; let's get out of here," she said as she, Sparky, Kijimuuna, and Obaa got out of the forest to head back home.

Later, when Margo and Ophelia had finished removing all of the dead and burnt branches from what was left of the demolished forest, the six of them were now sitting around the table eating some soup with some juicy rice balls. Margo was eating up the rice balls hungry as she was stuffing her mouth, causing Ophelia to glare at her with disgust, as she too was sipping on her chamomile tea with her pinky up.

Kijimuuna was also eating some rice balls as Sparky was slurping on some soup greedily, causing little droplets of the liquid to spray on Yuna. "Hey, stop it, Sparky!" she giggled as Obaa smiled pleasantly at the group.

"It is nice of all of you to get along, and thank you for fixing up the forest for the yokai, Margo and Ophelia," she expressed her gratitude as Ophelia slurped some more of her tea. "No problem," she gargled as she swallowed it down hard before breathing heavily. "I just hope that the yokai get their home back soon."

"In the meantime, Kijimuuna can stay right here," Yuna offered as Kijimuuna gulped down his rice ball before grinning gratefully. "Thank you, Yuna," he said. "So Sparky was telling me that you two are Jumba's latest experiments?" Obaa raised her eyebrow suspiciously as she continued to sip in her tea.

"Yeah; to tell ya the truth, I'm actually 631's prototype, meaning I was built as the original version of her. Jumba actually thought that I was the greatest evil genius creation ever built, even better than Stitch. But he found out that I was as deadly as the world's greatest super weapon and he decided that for the sake of his ohana, I shouldn't be activated, so he hid me away from everyone. I was left alone and abandoned in that godforsaken safe for about 5 years now, whereas 631 got to live her fucking life and a home and a family who loves her. Not me…"

At this tears slowly came to her eyes and she gripped tightly on her cup of tea as Yuna, Sparky, Obaa, Kijimuuna looked on with worry and concern. Finally she smashed it hard on the table and ran out of the kitchen while sobbing hysterically. Ophelia then glanced over her shoulder to see her twin disappear out the door before turning to the family. "I'll be right back," she said as she excused herself and went out to follow her.

A few minutes later, Ophelia found herself entering the room that Yuna used to share with Stitch before he was reunited with Lilo and found Margo sitting on the floor all by herself, with photographs scattered all around her. She then crept slowly towards her friend and peered over discreetly to see what Margo was looking at.

Margo was looking at some of the photographs taken of Yuna and Stitch on their numerous adventures together along with some other recent photographs of Lilo and Stitch together along with Joshua and Naomi.

Ophelia then noticed Margo looking intently at the pictures of Joshua and Naomi with her eyes specifically concentrated on Naomi, and she felt her entire face contorted with rage and hatred.

Margo then let out a snarl as she threw down the photographs before turning to face Ophelia angrily. "What are you doing here? Get the hell out!" she snarled as she pushed her away; the young orange female experiment then backed down slightly while staring down at Margo, who was now in a confrontation position with her claws sharp and at the ready.

"I won't leave you, Margo; we know we're both stuck here and we can use all of the help we can get. Besides, we have to stick together," Ophelia insisted as she drew near her and Margo swiped at her threateningly as to warn her to stay away from her.

"You get out! I'm not useful to you! I'm just as pathetic as any invention Jumba may have created! I'm too dangerous even for you to be around me! I'm useless, useless, I tell you! I should have never been created! As a matter of fact, it's better for everyone if I've never existed!"

"That's not true!" Ophelia shouted as she placed an arm on her shoulder. "You have every right and reason to exist just like all of us here; from what Obaa has told us, the S.R.E. has fought for our right to remain here; what do you think would happen if the Alliance were to win and all of us were to disappear forever?"

Margo then lowered her head down sadly with a frown. "I don't know, but I don't think the rest of Yuna's family in Hawaii would be happy to see either of us. Jumba would be punished if it was to be discovered that he kept me hidden for so long."

"Well, maybe Lilo might be a little upset that Jumba didn't bother to tell her about you sooner as well as not telling her about me either but I'm sure she'll eventually understand and forgive him. Besides, we don't have to go back to London; we can stay right here in Japan and live happily ever after in peace and serenity. We don't have to deal with those fucking bigots ever again," Ophelia shrugged while reassuring her gently, and Margo's ears perked up at her friend.

"You really think so?" she muttered as she nodded slowly. "Promise?"

Again Ophelia nodded with a widening smile. "Pinky promise?" Margo reiterated with a solemn and austere expression on her face as Ophelia nodded once again. She then rushed over to Margo and hugged her tightly while nuzzling her with Margo smiling tenderly.

The two female experiments then blushed as they broke away from the hug. "Thanks for everything, Ophelia," Margo laughed nervously as Ophelia grinned. "No problem," was all she said before she walked out of the room, leaving Margo to ponder what came over her.
