Chapter 9

Now is the time for virus busting!

Andre immediately started attacking the mettaur viruses with his defender Blade, with each slice they disappeared into deletion. He secured Jumba's ship in no time at all.

"There that should do it!" Andre said. Then he heard a rustling in the bushes. He went to investigate and discovered a Mettaur virus hiding in the bushes. It had a black helmet with a gray band painted around it. It also had a gray plus sign on the front of its helmet, and last but not least, it had a green bow on top of the helmet, which led Andre to assume it was female. The Mettaur didn't look hostile. Quite the contrary, it seemed afraid.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. Come on out." Andre said in a calm voice.

The girl Mettaur came out of the bushes and looked around, when she saw Lilo and her friends she immediately hid behind Andre's leg.

"What happened?" Lilo asked.

"Some small fry cybernetic viruses were attacking Jumba's ship." Andre answered.

"What are cybernetic viruses?" Keoni asked.

"They were computer viruses, which makes me wonder how they could appear in our physical world." Andre answered.

"Hamsterville!" Stitch replied.

"I wouldn't put it past him, you're right." Andre replied.

"Isn't that one of those bad viruses?" Myrtle asked pointing towards the Mettaur behind Andre, causing it to hide behind him even more.

"Not all viruses are bad." Andre explained.

"Oh look at the poor thing. She is scared." Victoria said taking pity on her. "Don't worry, your safe with us."

The little Mettaur, believing this, jumped into Victoria's arms.

"Well, it seems you got a new pet." Andre said.

"Can we keep her, daddy?" Victoria asked.

"Sure, we could download her into Jumba's computer, and since she is a good virus, she could act as a caretaker for the computer." Andre said.

"Is it just me or did you find it's one true place?" Keoni asked.

"Hey he's right Andre! I think you're as good at finding homes for things as I am!" Lilo pointed out.

"Hey, maybe I am." Andre answered.

"HEEEEELLLLLLLP!!!" A voice shouted.

"Oh, no Nani!" Lilo shouted.

Then a large bird-like virus swooped overhead. It had Nani trapped hanging in its talons.

"Oh, shoot! It's a Tin Hawk virus! Slasher! Chip data in! Download!"

Andre started running at high speed, then he made a super jump toward the Tin Hawk.

"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you should keep your talons to yourself?" Andre asked as he sliced the talons off the Tin Hawk, therefore releasing Nani. Andre caught her in midair and landed on the ground safely with her in his arms.

The Tin Hawk cries out in pain from losing it's talons, then it turn around to attack Andre again. Andre, responding to this, jumped and sliced the Tin Hawk in two, which sizzled of into deletion.

"You okay, Nani?" Andre asked.

"Got a few scratches, but yeah." Nani answered.

"Good, you stay here. Guys lets go to Kokaua town!" Andre commanded.

"What are you going to do there?" Nani asked.

"That might be where the viruses came from, and another thing, take care of Victoria's pet while we are out." Andre said.

"But it's a…" Nani was about to say.

"Don't worry. It's friendly." Andre said before he and the others went off in the buggy.

"They arrived at Kokaua Town and were shocked by the sight. There were viruses everywhere. Of every type and every kind, and they were all destroying Kokaua Town. The civilians were fleeing the scene.

"This is going to be harder than I thought." Andre said.

"Older Boy! Can you hear me?" Jumba called over the comlink on the Buggy.

"Loud and Clear!" Andre said.

"I found the location of what seem to be four virus generators. I'm sending the information to your weapon!" Jumba reported.

"Thanks a lot! Everybody, we have to scatter and attack! I'll destroy the generators!" Andre explained.

"Looks like the fun is about to start!" Keoni said.

"I'll back up Keoni!" Myrtle said.

"Come on, Stitch! Let's do this!" Lilo said.

"Ih!" Stitch answered in his language.

"Okay, let's do this together! We'll show them to mess with our town." Teresa said.

"You got it!" Yuki said.

"Right behind you!" Elena continued.

"Everyone! Attack!" Andre shouted.

"Aqua Orb!" Lilo shouted.

"Frenzy Slasher!" Stitch shouted.

"Stalagmite Skewer!" Keoni shouted.

"Icy Crystal!" Myrtle shouted.

"Rose Bomb!" Yuki shouted.

"Static Storm!" Elena shouted.

"Pyro Pirouette!" Teresa shouted.

They launched their attacks on the seemingly infinite army of viruses, deleting a considerable amount, but they seemed to just keep on coming.

"Andre, hurry!" Lilo shouted.

Andre rushed the hoard of viruses, slashing as he ran at high speed. With each of his slashes, viruses were deleted. He finally found the first generator.

"Alright! Multiple Time bombs! Chip Data in! Download!" Andre commanded the Defender Blade.

Instantly, five level three time bombs appeared in front of the generator. He set them up to explode when he pressed the detonator on his blade. He did the same with the rest of the generators. When he finally finished, he ran back to the others.

"Get in the buggy and get some distance! When you and the other civilians are cleared from the immediate area I'm going to press the detonator!" Andre warned.

Everybody got to a safe distance and checked for any straying bystanders. When everything was secured Lilo gave Andre the signal.

"Alright Andre, punch it!" Lilo said.

Andre presses the button. Soon there is an ear-splitting explosion, taking out the generators and deleting all the viruses. The team started to relax until they saw Hamsterville and Eggman in the Egg Viper 2 flying and battle machine. What surprised them more was that 627 was there with them. He was standing on the rubble of the explosion Andre caused.

"So you deleted my virus army!" Hamsterville said. "No matter, you will never defeat us!"

Everybody returned to where Andre was in order to back him up.

"How nice, the little kids want to help the Defender." 627 said. "You know, I didn't kill you after I burned that house because I though you would face me as a worthy opponent. After your little game with the viruses, I must admit, you exceeded expectations, being the pitiful human as you are."

"Wait a minute! You've been watching us?" Andre asked.

"You burned my house? You're the one who killed my parents?" Victoria asked enraged.

An evil smile appeared on 627's face.

"Yes to all three questions." 627 said. "You kids should know that even with your newfound experiment abilities, you would never have a chance of beating me. I'm even better than Stitch."

"No you're not! You're a monster!" Victoria shouted with rage in her voice.

"I've had enough of this talk!" 627 shouted, clearly angered by Victoria's insolence. "Defender, I challenge you and your friends to a battle to the death. All of you versus me!"

Andre closed his eyes and when he opened them they're seemed to be fire burning in them. Then everybody said simultaneously.

"We accept."
