Omega Chapter 4
Jumba had passed out hours ago. And something knew about Jumba had been learned. He was not only loud when awake, but he snored like he was taking down a forest of trees. A chainsaw had nothing on this guy! Stitch's sensitive hearing kept him awake longer than the others, who had passed out from exhaustion long ago. Stitch rolled onto his side and stared at his alarm clock.
"3:30 AM" The crisp, lime green numbers illuminated.
Stitch sighed in exhaustion. He was never going to get any sleep. He got up out of his bed, and opened the window. Paying extra attention to the long fall below, he climbed out of it and onto the roof of the house. He laid down on his back, staring up into the clear night sky, twinkling with stars. He noticed that Jumba's snores were just enough to be bearable. He closed his eyes and began to think to himself. As much of a pain Jumba could sometimes be. Hell, as much of a pain that anyone in that family could be, he would always love them all. He opened his eyes once more to look at the sky, a smile creeping its way across his face as he stared at the stars before closing his eyes once more, drifting off into a deep, relaxing sleep.

Omega stared at the stars as he glided through the cold, vastness of space. He noticed the similarity between space itself, and what he felt within. He was created to be a killing machine. A machine without conscience, a ruthless, effective, and powerful force. Omegas thoughts began to drift toward his own future. He wondered what would be in store for him after this test. What tests would be ahead? He wondered if his creator would allow him to hunt down and kill the other scientists' failed experiments. He smiled to himself at the thought of taking life…
Prison asteroid K-37 began to come into Omega's view, which, was thousands of miles away. He transformed the chemistry of his body so that he would be undetectable by any form of detection, including sight. Immediately, streams of data flowed through Omega's mind. He contemplated and calculated different means of infiltrating the facility. Within seconds, he thought of two separate plans. There was stealth, and then there was a frontal assault. He stopped moving toward the asteroid for a moment, and considered these two plans. There was a sudden movement from behind him! A police cruiser swept by him, missing him by a distance of only about 20 feet. He laughed, no sound left his mouth in the vacuum of space. He chased the police cruiser and caught up to it quickly. He made himself completely visible before growing into a creature that looked like it was made completely of metal. It was long, about 50 feet long, and skinny. It had a pointed face, a beak, it seemed. Its arms ended in cruel blades, sword-like blades. And finally, in place of feet, the creature had a large fin, almost like a dolphin. The being seemed to be made of the purest silver. The pilot gasped as he saw the hideous monstrosity. He had only seconds to react before his ship was sliced in two by Omega. Atmosphere evacuated from the ship rapidly as the remnants of it spun silently through space. The pilot was killed almost immediately.
Omega thought to himself, "I could be stealthy, but where's the fun in subterfuge?"
He grinned.
No sooner did the thought leave his head, than plasma torpedoes from the asteroid's orbiting defensive turrets were sent rocketing toward him…
