Ch. 24 Family Feud
Author's P.O.V.
Mayhem wakes up, stretches and then goes to the bathroom to clean himself. After that, he goes downstairs and decided to go to Jumba's ship to ask about the new pods he found out of sheer luck.
He walks in and sees that Jumba has even more pods. 525 - red, 545 - red, 570 - blue, 458 - purple, 328 - yellow and 561 - blue.
"Jumba. A., what did you learn about the pods and B. did you find anything to help locate Onyx?" he asks.
Jumba yawns, "Sorry, experiment 631. Evil genius was so busy looking for way to help experiment 630 that Jumba forgot to study experiments."
He adds, "Evil genius found these under bush near ship."
Mayhem states, "Well, give them to me so I can test them out."
He adds, "Besides, looks like you need to catch some rest."
Jumba retorts, "No, that being bad idea. Little girl would not liking that one bit."
Mayhem explains, "Please, I can handle myself since I have the strength of Stitch, Onyx and Le-"
Mayhem shuts up immediately and Jumba looks at him.
"What was 630 saying, Jumba blanked out of concentration?"
Mayhem comments, "I said I can take care of myself and that's that."
Jumba replies, "I don't knowing, seems like very bad idea."
Mayhem waves a hand dismissive, "Pessha. I know what I'm doing, after all I was created by the best genius in the world. Dr. H-Huh. Um... I mean, Dr. Jumba Jookiba."
Jumba says, "Stopping with what your flattering, causing evil genius blushing by stating known fact. Jumba feels abash now."
Mayhem awkwardly laughs while thinking, 'Wow. Close call with that one. Also, can't believe how conceited he is. Though, I guess it is genetic."
Jumba speaks, "I guessing you can taking care of yourself, don't damage ship is all I'm asking."
Mayhem grins, "I promise I won't damage a thing."
Jumba walks over to Mayhem, hands him the pods and then turns to leave the ship. Mayhem looks down and smiles at the pods.
Lilo's Room...
Lilo wakes up and yawns, look around her room and notices that Stitch did not come in last night. A sad expression was growing on her face, thinking about Ty and Crimson as they're still out cold.
She jumps up from the bed, changes into her normal attire and then goes down the elevator. When she reaches the bottom, she sees Jumba slowly walking into the hallway and heading for his room.
Lilo asks, "How are you Jumba?"
Jumba replies drowsily, "Sleepy. Evil genius needs rest. Goodnight."
She asks, "How are Ty and Crimson?"
He answers as he yawns, "Still the same as before, out cold. Both are heavily exhausted from everything."
He says, "No more talking, evil genius needs sleep."
Lilo comments quietly, "Night."
Jumba closes his door and Lilo goes to the kitchen.
Lilo then walks around after eating breakfast and stumbles across two pods: a green, 246, and yellow pod, 354.
She picks them up and runs to back to the kitchen, only to find Mayhem in there with the pods as he prepares a cup of water.
She asks, "What are you doing with those pods?"
Mayhem answers flatly, "Going to activate the pods."
He fills a cup of water and places it on the counter.
She states, "What!"
She adds, "Are you trying to get Gantu to destroy our house?"
Mayhem glances over to her and notices that she too has pods in her hands, "I see you were planning on the same thing."
She opens her mouth to say something, but Mayhem interjects. "Don't deny it."
She closes it and sighs, "Fine."
She walks over and says, "I found these under our house."
Mayhem looks to her and asks, "Do you think there could be more?"
She answers, "I don't know, I just found them by luck."
He replies, "So, we now have 11 pods in total and now I'm not so sure about activating them."
She walks over to Mayhem and hands them to him, he looks down at the two new pods.
He says, "590, 365, 622, and now 246 and 354, plus 525, 545, 570, 458, 328 and 561. I don't know which one or ones to activate."
Lilo retorts, "Choose one and stick with it."
Mayhem brings the two pods to the others on the plate in the table and Lilo walks over to him, both looking at which pod or pods to make active.
Mayhem says, "I'm choosing the blue one because I like the color, simple as that."
She looks over to him and responds, "So now you choose not to be over-analyzing everything."
He explains, "Hey, the odds of not getting a very destructive pod is really low. Doesn't matter what one I choose, it is going to be chaotic in its own way."
Lilo nods, "True."
So he walks back to the counter, grabs the cup of water and walks back to the plate. He places the cup onto the table, grabs the blue pod (590) and prays softly. "Please don't let this be a really bad choice that is going to bite us in the ass later."
He releases the pod, it falls into the cup and then a green glow develops.
After the blinding light faded, both see a small Slobber (347)-like experiment with an antenna on the top of his head instead of the back of his head.
The experiment looks around, sniffs the air and growls at Mayhem and Lilo.
He says, "Meega nala queesta!"
Mayhem retorts calmly, "Don't even bother. I can whip you in a second."
590 chuckles evilly, "Youga think so."
590 snaps his fingers and Mayhem rebuttals, "Oh wow! I'm so scared, you snapped your fingers and yet... I'm still here."
Lilo looks up with wide eyes and says, "Um... Mayhem?"
Mayhem replies looking to her, "Not now Lilo, I'm still pulling him before I attack."
He looks back to the experiment and says, "Do that trick one more time, because it seems you don't have any real powers."
The experiment snaps and Mayhem says, "I guess I did choose a bust of an experiment after all."
Lilo speaks, "Mayhem?"
Mayhem adds, "If snapping is this guy's only special power, I feel sorry for Jumba and Hamsterviel's time."
Lilo says again, "Mayhem?"
He continues, "I mean, come on. Snapping, that is it."
Lilo shouts, "MAYHEM!"
Mayhem turns around and looks to her, "What?"
Lilo points her finger up, looks up and Mayhem copies her actions. His eyes widen and looks up at the ceiling, except it was covered by gray clouds which were lowly rumbling and flashing.
Both look at the experiment and he smiles, "See, youga talk to much."
He commands, "Rain!"
Rumble!
Mayhem and Lilo look back up and see the flashing lightning and the thunder increase drastically. Soon the first drop lands on Mayhem's nose and he mutters, "Oh no."
After that, it turns into a downpour and both Mayhem and Lilo look to each other. Then their eyes widen at the realization of the fact they left the pods out and the inside of the house just turned into a thunderstorm.
Their eyes follow the plate with the pods and see many green orbs growing and showing the experiments' figures.
Once the rain subside, everyone could see the other experiments and Mayhem's mouth just drops.
There's a dark blue and grey manta ray-like experiment with black eyes and three black-tipped spines on his back.
Next a purple smaller version of Jumba with 5 spikes running down his back, longer ears and dark purple back markings resembling a vial and one of those explosions shaped like a mushroom.
Then there was a blue-green 625-like experiment with beadier eyes and a larger belly.
And a red Heckler (322)-like experiment with a white patch at the front of his mouth, round head, a polo-shirt imprint on his body and a large round white belly.
One look almost exactly like a green and yellow cockatrice (in other words, a rooster's head, wings, and legs with yellow feathers and a snake's tail with green scales over parts of his body) has three spines on his back and deep black eyes.
Beside that was a purple Yaarp (613)-like experiment with Holio (606)-like antennae, Phantasmo (375)-like head and a Swirly (383)-like antennae.
Next was a purple reptilian koala-like experiment with rabbit-like ears with red insides, black eyes, a round nose, a wide mouth, a red chest and stomach, a long green-tipped tail, five green pipes coming out of his back like bagpipes and the holes/spots all over his body similar to the holes on the chanter on the instrument.
Followed by a purple Nosy (199)-like experiment.
They saw a sky blue Stitch (626)-like experiment with black stripes and three spines on her back, two antennae on her head, eyelashes and rabbit-like ears
The last one was a fiery form of Slushy in flames coming from his head.
Lilo says fearfully, "Oh boy... This isn't good."
Mayhem nervously chuckles, "Wh-what are you talking about."
He adds, "I can take care of them."
He brings his hands up then to the wall and then the experiments followed suit.
Mayhem smiles, "See. Told ya, I could take care of them."
The purple reptilian koala-like experiment soon begins to play his instrument lightly, Mayhem starts to slightly lose focus on the experiments as the notes start to intensify. Lilo and the other experiments so cover their ears and Lilo was on the floor and curled up into a ball.
Mayhem couldn't concentrate at all, he drops his hands and the experiments drop to the floor. They were free from Mayhem's grasp, the bagpipe experiment stop and then Mayhem quickly regains his stance and Lilo follows right after.
Mayhem states, "I knew you would stop, now say hello to my next move."
The green and yellow cockatrice step forward from the group then he sets his gaze on to Mayhem and Lilo, locking them onto them.
Mayhem says sarcastically, "What are you staring at, you freak? Your face insults my eyes, it burns. Please, stop looking at me."
He asks, "Gaba?"
Mayhem states, "It looks like your face caught on fire and someone tried to put it out with a fork. Plain and simple. You're uuuggglly!"
He adds hotly, "Youga aggaba now!"
Mayhem retorts, "Oh, did I pinch a nerve? ...Time to pinch it some more, U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi. You ugly, yeah. Yeah. You ugly. You can't do a thing to me because you so ugly."
The experiment nose flares from the insults and sends daggers to Mayhem, "Youga pay for that."
He widens his eyes and Mayhem says while looking at Lilo, "Oh no. He is looking at us. Hurry, Lilo! Cover your delicate eyes from his gaze."
Lilo stutters with fear, "Ma-Mayhem... L-look be-behind you."
Mayhem turns and sees the cockatrice's eyes flashing, he moves his hands to send the experiments fly; however the experiment hits them with petrifying beams from his eyes. Lilo and Mayhem were now stone statuettes, in the ruin kitchen as the experiments all leave the kitchen and then go to their separate directions.

Gantu states, "WHOA! There are 11 experiments all activating at once! Don't care, today I'll be sure to get one!"
625 responds, "Uuugggggh! You been saying that ever since we've been here and so far I'm not impressed with your very low skills along with your intelligence."
Gantu glares at him, "Shut up and stay out of my way you useless, worthless, pointless trog!"
He walks out of the ship, grumbling angrily and 625 looks at him completely stunned at his reaction.
Meanwhile...
545 was setting everything he touched on fire, until he and 570 bump into each other. They quickly pull apart because Fire and Ice were opposites, 570 sneers as she looks tumultuously at him.
She states, "Youga ika patootie!"
He retorts, "Naga!"
Both begin to charge their attack and blast each other; however, their fire and ice balls collided and make an explosion. The shock-wave sends them away a few feet away, but they hit other experiments. 545 crashes into 458; of course, he then burst into flames and is trying to roll himself out; while 570 crashes into 590.
570 looks at 590 and is full of rage from the prior fight, she blows her ice breath at 590; however, 590 open his mouth and breathes out and the ice turns into water. 590 smiles at her then starts to spin, soon a funnel is made and where 590 stood was now a small tornado and it was heading right at 570 at a fast pace.
Before she could move, 570 was sucked up into the funnel like a piece of dirt against a vacuum cleaner and both 590 decided to move on.
545 and 458 were still pretty much on the same note with 458 still being on fire, 545 was laughing his ass off at the sight before them; yet, both were unaware for the tempest coming at them. Soon 458 was put out be the sudden change of wind force, both turn and see a tornado heading their direction and soon 458 is pulled into it.
545 looks at the tornado before him then a smile forms on his face and he brings his hands up, aiming them at the giant spinning of temple of wind. He fires a flame from both hands and the tornado is engulf in fire, turning into a spiral tower of flames.
He was laughing throughout the entire thing then he sees the tornado slowing down, he puts his hands down as the blaze tornado is steadily vanishing until it is just 590, 570 and 458 all charred from the fire and out cold. All three bodies fall onto the ground, 545 stares at them and then turns and walks away.
525 was just taking his sweet time, looking around and eating the different types of rocks found on the island. A stray cat bumps into him, hissing at him and then he flashes his beams onto the cat which turns it into stone.
525 soon starts to feel butterflies in his stomach, he looks around and then spots 365, who was snickering at 525. 365 was underneath a coconut tree, the moment he closes his eyes is when 525 strikes the coconut tree with his beam and transforming the plant before him into stone. The stone tree cracks and then breaks, falling on top of 365 and knocking him out. 525 looks at 365 and says, "Meega think isa better youga turn stone."
He looks at him, releasing the beams and transforming him into stone. Once the petrification has been completed, he was set in stone and 525 couldn't help but laugh at what he did.
He walks around for some time until he hears someone speaking, "All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
Each having their opening act and their curtain call.
Just to end with tomatoes thrown at their faces.
...Oh well, that is life and life is a show. And as they say, 'The show must go on!'"
He turns the corner to see 354, sitting on a rock and now just looking at the sky.
Soon 354 looks to him and waves, "Why today seems so nice
as nice as someone on the hunt.
And prey on garbage.
But soft! methinks I scent the morning air. As clean as it gets."
525 asks, "Gaba youga doing?"
354 answers, "Wasting time talking, talking to people, to things...to you."
That last part really stung 525, making him angry and he glares at 354 with daggers.
525 warns, "Youga quiet or youga be stone!"
354 retorts, "To be stone or not to be stone, obviously someone is as dense as a block of wood with a brain the size of a pebble."
525 glances at 354 then the eyes begin to glow as they power-up and finally he is so fed up that he fires at 354, turning him to stone.
525 points his nose up, "Hm!"
And walks away from 354.
Gantu's walk...
Gantu is walking along, trying to find at least some of the experiments and then he turns his head to see an astonishing moment. Three extra crispy experiments out in the open and waiting to be pilfered. He looks around before walking, smiling at the good luck that has struck him.
"Well. Well. Looks like I do have someone is watching over me."
He grabs the experiments and place them into the capture pods, "This is too easy. I wonder where is that little annoying Hawaiian girl?"
Lilo's House...
Pleakley walks into the house and heads to the kitchen, when he reaches there he is shocked to see two statutes of Lilo and Mayhem in a destroyed kitchen.
He smiles, "How spectacular these sculptures are. I mean, it is like I'm actually seeing Lilo and Mayhem. Jumba must've help them do this."
He looks around the room and says, "Too bad Nani is going to flip when she sees this."
He screams, "Jumba! Lilo! Mayhem! I'm back from shopping!"
Jumba hollers loudly, "Can't evil genius sleep without being waken up!"
Pleakley retorts a little hurt, "Well I never... Fine. I bet Lilo and Mayhem would love to hear about my day."
He replies, "Not really."
Pleakley says, "Hush you!"
Soon he hears, "Mmmmm."
He asks, "Jumba, is that you? Jumba?"
"Mmmm!"
Pleakley looks around a little scared by the sound, "W-Who's there?"
"MMMmmmm!"
Pleakley screams, "Awwww! Ghosts in the house! Ghosts in the house!"
He runs up to his room and bangs on the door, "JUMBA! JUMBA! OPEN UP! GHOSTS ARE IN THE HOUSE!"
Jumba opens the door and replies with tons of irritation, "Walking noodle, listening to evil genius closely."
Pleakley walk over to him and he shouts, "THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS GHOSTS!"
Pleakley stutter, "T-Then go d-downstairs. I-I heard th-this noise."
Jumba rolls his eyes and says, "Fine. Will walking noodle feel better if evil genius walked with him to kitchen?"
Pleakley nods, both walk back downstairs and Pleakley hides behind Jumba.
Jumba looks around the kitchen and says, "See. Nothing here ghosty. Now...let evil genius sleep. Jumba is too tired."
He looks around again and adds, "Pleakley why buying statues of Little Girl and 631?"
Pleakley replies, "I didn't bought those, they were here when I arrived here. ...Wait. You didn't know about this?"
Jumba nods his head no and adds, "I was sleeping when Little Girl and 631 were in the kitchen."
Pleakley takes a step forward, "Well then, let's find them and get thi-"
Thud!
He slips onto the floor and Jumba covers his mouth to hide the smile that was forming.
Pleakley speaks, "Uck! Please tell me this is water. I don't want to think that Mayhem is unhouse broken."
Jumba looks around and says, "Did a storm happen in here?"
He adds, "Look, water is everywhere."
"MMMmmm!"
Jumba exclaims, "What's that?"
Pleakley jumps on top of Jumba, "Th-That's the noise I heard! Ghosts have taken over the house!"
Jumba pushes Pleakley off him and spats, "There is no such thing as ghosts!"
Pleakley asks, "Then what about the noises? You and me can't be doing them."
He shouts, "OH NO!"
Jumba hollers, "WHAT?"
Pleakley screams, "The ghost taken Lilo and Mayhem away and this substance isn't water, it's ectoplasm!"
Jumba retorts, "One eyed noodle need using brain more often, this is water and I know where the sounds are coming from."
Pleakley inquires Jumba's statement, "Well, where are they coming from?"
Before he could even answer, both heard cracks and look around and then...
