Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Awakening

Chapter 51: Ohana Forever

Inside the containment capsule hitched on the back of Gantu's ship, Aqua, Kairi, and Lilo were sitting and waiting for the others to rescue them. Lilo was holding the chared picture of her family and was still looking depressed.

"You kind of hurt Stitch's feelings back there." Kairi said to her.

Lilo was silent.

"Lilo, Stitch may do bad things but he's not bad." Aqua then said. "You have to believe in him."

"Ohana." Lilo realizingly said.

"Ohana?" Kairi asked.

"Ohana means family and also means no gets left behind or forgotten. It's what I told Nani when we first got Stitch." Lilo said.

"He's ohana and so are we." Aqua told her.

"Yeah!" Lilo and Kairi said.

Just then, Gantu's ship got blasted out of nowhere.

"What's going on?" Gantu exclaimed.

He looked over to his left and found a red spaceship flying near him and Stitch was at one of the windows mooning him.

"Yoohoo!" He taunted.

"What the? How did you escape?"

Gantu then noticed Bobby was right next to Stitch and stuck his tongue out at him.

"You again?" He exclaimed.

Gantu angerly steered his ship onto a nearby island.

"Follow him!" Zack said to Jumba as he followed Gantu.

"Let's kick his butt!" Steve said as the gang got out of the ship with their weapons summoned and ran towards Gantu.

"Right behind you Ste-" Ron said as he was cut off by his amazement of Gantu's giant stature. "Okay, NO ONE TOLD ME HE WOULD BE BIG!"

"Sorry for leaving that out." Jumba and Bobby said.

"Let them go!" Stitch said to Gantu in alien.

"You going to make me?" Gantu replied as he drew his laser gun.

"Let's see if we can!" Goku exclaimed as the gang began fighting Gantu.

Gantu's attack had occasionally caught them off-guard but since Bobby fought Gantu before with Aqua, he was able to help them defeat Gantu with ease.

"Surrender Gantu! It's over." Ven said as he pointed his Keyblade at him.

Sora used his Keyblade to free the girls from the capsule. Kairi ran to Sora and gave him a hug that made him blush, same too with Aqua and Bobby.

"Lilo. I am here." Stitch said.

Lilo ran up to him and gave him a hug.

"I'm sorry for being mean at you. I was sad that I was going to be taken away from Nani. Thank you for saving me." Lilo told him.

"You're welcome." Stitch replied as he hugged her.

Just then a ship came down and two uniformed aliens came out and placed handcuffs on Stitch. Another alien came out of the ship and it was the Grand Councilwoman.

"We've captured the criminal ma'am." said one of the alien officers.

"Well done." She replied.

She then noticed Aqua and Bobby who stood in front of Lilo and Stitch.

"It's been awhile." The Grand Councilwoman said to them.

"It has." Bobby replied.

"You can't take Stitch." Aqua told her.

"And why can't I?" She asked.

"Lilo, show her the papers." Mr. Bubbles told her as he walked out of the woods.

Lilo took the adoption papers from her pocket and showed it to the Grand Councilwoman.

"See? I bought him from the pound. If you take him, then that's stealing." Lilo told her.

"She's got a point." Zack said.

"You see? He's got a family that cares for him. And besides, aliens are all about rules." Bubbles said.

"You look familiar." The Grand Coucilwoman said, eyeing him carefully.

"CIA. Roswell. 1973." Bubbles said showing his badge.

"Cool." Shea and Steve both said.

"Ah yes, you had hair then." The Grand Councilwoman remembered has Bubbles rubbed his head. "I hearby sentence Experiment 626-"

"Stitch. My name Stitch." He interrupted her.

"Yes Stitch. He is sentenced to exile for life and served out here on Earth and you and your family are hereby under the protection of the United Galactic Federation. And let's not forget Gantu, who is retired and exiled for his outrageous actions."

"Oh Blitznak." Gantu sighed.

"We'll be checking in once and awhile." She then said to Bubbles.

"I was afraid of that." Bubbles said as he took off his sunglasses. "Telling this back at HQ won't be easy."

The Grandcouncil Woman chuckled and then whispered to one of her officers and said,

"Don't let those two on my ship."

Jumba and Pleakley sighed once they heard this as the Grand Coucilwoman left in her ship.

"CIA?" Nani said to Bubbles.

"Former. Convinced an alien race that mosquitoes were an endangered species and managed to save the world." He said as Pleakley's eye now remembered who told said that. "Now about your house..."

"We can use parts from my ship. It seems it has been broken from our fight with Gantu." Jumba said as he began blasting his ship.

And so days went by as Sora and the gang worked together to rebuild Lilo's home.

"She's a beaut right Cloud?" Zack said.

"Good as new." He replied.

"Thank you for the help David." Nani said.

"It's no problem, though I'm still trying to get over that your dog is really an alien and you've got two more living in your home." David replied, scratching his head.

"Hehe, yeah I'm trying to adjust to this too." Nani laughed nervously.

"Looks like we're hitting the road now." Jim said as he got his pack on his back.

As Excalibur got started up to go and the gang was getting in the ship, Stitch stopped Sora by pulling on his shorts. Sora then looked down at him.

"What's up Stitch?" Sora asked as he kneeled down to him.

"Friend. Circle. Always." Stitch said as he held his star shard that he fixed that got destroyed by Gantu.

"Always." Ven said as he walked over to Stitch and placed his hand on it.

"Always." Terra also said, doing the same as Ven.

"Always." Bobby and Aqua did too.

Everyone else began placing their hands on the shard which showed that they were all Stitch's ohana. Once everyone's hands left it, the star shard began to glow and rise to the sky, revealing the Keyhole.

"That's your cue guys." Chokei said to the Keybearers.

"Showtime." Roxas and Xion then said as they sealed the Keyhole.

"Before you go," Bubbles said, "There's something about Goku and Vegeta that has been concerning me for awhile."

"What do you want to know?" Vegeta asked.

"I've heard reports from the CIA about a group of fighters that can change their hair to gold and have incredible strength. I noticed your fight with Gantu and your guys' strength was the same as the gold fighters I heard about."

"It's true. We're Saiyans, an endangered race with these two being the last full blooded Saiyan while their sons, Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and me as half blooded." Bobby told him.

"I see. Well good luck on your journey and take care." Bubbles said as he put on his sunglasses and got in his black car. "I'll be checking up on you too Nani."

The gang waved goodbye as Bubbles drove away.

"Take care Stitch." Terra said as he rubbed Stitch's head.

"Aloha!" Stitch and his ohana said to our heroes as they began to take off in their ship.

"Aloha!" They replied as they left Ohana Paradise's surface.

"So where we headed now?" Sasuke asked as he and Vegeta stood by one of the windows with their arms crossed.

"I guess to whatever new world we explore." Kakashi replied as he sat on the couch reading his Make-Out Paradise novel with a few laughs as he read it.

"It's nice that Stitch found a family to be with." Aqua said as she sat on Bobby's lap on one of the chairs next to the couch.

"Actually I believe that we were already Stitch's family. I guess I never thought of that until now." Bobby said to her.

"Now that you mention it, when Riku and I first met Kairi when she arrived to the islands, from the way we always hung out I guess I thought of the three of us as family too." Sora said as he piloted the ship.

Soon the refugees began thinking of their friends and families that they lost to the Darkness.

"We may have lost our own families from the destruction of our worlds, we managed to make a new one." Honey said.

"She's right, I guess our world saving group became a family once we all joined together." Kim said.

"Kim's right too! Let's make a promise, no matter what happens to us we'll always be a family!" Naruto announced.

"I'm with him. We'll always be a family no matter what gets thrown at us." Axel agreed.

"Alright then family, let's head to the next world!" Goku said as Sora activated Excalibur's hyper-drive boosters.
