Friends Are Always There For You

A/N Here's more. Don't worry Stitch80000 that little twist is happening soon.

Maru cackled seeing Nero fighting Rueben.

The golden furred experiment had put up quite a fight against this new strong cousin but he was getting tired and was about to nearly pass out.

"I knew this would happen!

Do you see now pathetic human?

Why care about a weak experiment like him?

He's a loser!" Maru cackled as Amore saw Rebuen fall to the floor.

"Rebuen!" Amore said walking over to her experiment friend and knelt beside him.

Rueben's eyes opened at her soft voice.

"Amore...... I-I need you to go run.

Stitch and the others will be able to take Nero and Maru on.

Please go!" the golden furred experiment begged.

"No Rebuen I'm not running away.

Ever since you and Miko came into my life, you've made it better and made me feel like I can do a lot of things I've wanted to do but couldn't before.

Besides ohana means family and it means nobody gets left behind especially you." she replied kissing him on his furry cheek.

Lilo smiled seeing that as she and the others entered the room.

Nero cackled as he saw Stitch.

"You have a reputation 626 for being the baddest cousin but I'm badder.

Maru made me that way." the black furred experiment sneered.

"Bring it!" Stitch yelled lunging at him but Jumba saw Maru run off.....

Maru smiled as he was caught by Jumba as he growled in anger. He'd been waiting for this for a long time now since he'd heard that it had been Jumba and his experiments that had foiled his father from taking over the galaxy and now he'd get his revenge. Jumba saw him break free of his grip and was sent flying into a wall.

"I expected better from you Jukiba.

You and my father were partners, friends but after you created 626, everything changed and you lost all respect even from the Evil Genius Society.

I don't blame you for leaving the galaxy and living with a pathetic ohana.

You're weak." Maru cackled about to finish him off when he was hit by a plasma blast as Gantu showed up.

"G-Gantu?

What're you doing here?" Jumba asked as the captain of the Galatic Armada helped him up.

"I had to help.

We are one big ohana, right?

Besides I was worried for Rebuen because he's attached to Amore emotionally." Gantu answered as they went to help the others.

Nero was surprised by Stitch's strength which was being fuelled by his love for his ohana and especially Lilo but he was getting exhausted as his fluffy blue fur was covered in wounds and scratches from fighting Nero. He hoped there was a way of defeating Nero because he didn't want either the galaxy or his ohana totally destroyed because that was something he wouldn't wish or bear to see.

"You've put up a good fight cousin but this ends now!" Nero said as his eyes glowed with green light but then both Reuben and Amore lunged at the experiment which surprised both Stitch and the entire ohana especially Lilo as they watched.

"I thought you had no fight left in you 625.

Why bring a puny human into this?

You know she's not going to survive this!" Nero said as Jumba and Gantu arrived.

"Reuben!

What in the blitznak is going on and why is Amore fighting with you?" Gantu asked his friend.

"I'll explain later Gantu.

Let us take care of this trog of a cousin first." Reuben answered as Stitch laughed at that coughing.

"Meega weakling like human!

Never defeat Nero.

He stronger than all experiments your precious father created." Nero told them.

"It doesn't matter trog.

You think you're stronger than Stitch and the rest of us experiments?

You're wrong Nero because you're weak. Before we experiments thought our one true place was to cause mayhem and destruction, to please our father Jumba but...... then when we met Lilo when she found each one of us after we were reactivatec from our pods, she was able to see through us and show us how to love and to use our powers to help people and have ohana and a home but there's something else were given that Hamsterviel or Dad forgot to give us or put in our programming.

Love and a heart to show it.

I'd rather have a home , an one true place and an ohana than to be alone because that's what happens to experiments like you Nero who can't love or have a heart.

I feel sorry for ya.

Now Amore let's take care of him once and for all!

For Ohana!" Reuben said as both he and Amore glowed with blue light.

Jumba watched as the blue light engulfed Nero but after it, saw him sprawled on the floor and Amore on her knees with Reuben lying beside her. He was scared for Reuben but amazed at what had happened as Lilo and the others crowded around Amore.

"I-Is he dead Jumba?

Please don't let him be!

I love him with all my heart!" Amore said with tears running down her face which had cuts on it.

But Lilo could relate to how Amore was feeling like when she nearly lost Stitch.

"No not again...." she said as she felt Stitch put a furry hand on her shoulder.

"Naga worry about Reuben Lilo.

He'll be fine, I know it." he reassured her.

Amore then kissed Reuben on the cheek as a tear hit his chest.

"I will always love you," she said but then she heard something.

"......I-I'll always love you too Amore.

I.... can't believe we actually defeated Nero and Maru but what's...... going to happen to them?" Rebuen said as pain flowed through his furry body.

Amore was relieved along with Gantu.

"Don't worry about them.

Let's go home, okay?" Reuben told her as his eyes closed in sleep as Amore fainted from exhaustion but Gantu helped as they got into Jumba's space ship and returned to Hawali but Gantu had returned to the Galatic Council to report to the Grand Council Woman about what had happened but hoped Reuben and the others were okay.....

Back on Earth in his lab he'd set up in the space ship, he watched as Reuben was lying there in a deep sleep but he felt tears sting his four eyes especially when the computer showed him something wrong with Rebuen's eyes but he'd invented a formula to help cure it. But he'd been impressed by Reuben's strength that he'd shown on Turo along with Amore in defeating Nero but he was very curious as to what they did as he heard Nani calling him for dinner.

Alana and Lana were already there playing with their knives and forks.

Nani smiled at that.

Today had been a long day but good because the galaxy was safe from Maru and his powerful experiment Nero but was impressed with both Reuben and Amore.

Now she was certain they were in love, true love.

But she noticed Amore was beginning to wake up but wanted Reuben.

Miko was scared too for his Daddy and Amore.

Uncle Stitch had told him, Alana and Lana what had happened on Turo and the emerald green experiment was very worried.

But Jumba heard soft groaning as he entered the ship as he heard bleeping on the computer.

"Ohh..... so much pain...... in patookie..." Reuben murmured as his eyes opened slowly and he was showing strong signs of life again because early he'd scared his father by not responding to his treatment.

"625 you're awake!

This is very good news!" Jumba told him as Reuben winced in pain.

His entire body hurt from the immense pain he was in along with his eyes.

It hurt him to look at things.

"Here this'll help." Jumba said putting something in his eyes which were like eye drops.

"Oww...... Dad it hurts!" Reuben said but Jumba looked sad at that.

"Sorry 625 but this will help your eyes that Nero hurt.

Without that serum in your eyes, you would've gone totally blind but now you're visually impaired but still able to see only your night and side vision will be defunct and totally weakened.

Which means it will be hard for you to help Gantu as the Captain's assistant but I'll talk to him about that.

For now rest.

You have been through a lot along with Amore." Jumba said but Reuben was sad at that as he began to fall asleep but woke up seeing Lilo.

"It's Amore." she said as Jumba followed her into the house.....
