Omega Chapter 9

            The status light on the camera in front of the young female newscaster went from red to green as the video feed became live.

            "Good Morning, this is Susan Sazahara for eyewitness news, reporting a terrible incident that has befallen our small town…"

            The young woman began to stroll forward, as the view of the camera panned across the beach splinters of broken wood could be seen scattered across the sand.

            "I have been told that there was a break-in at the local rental shack here at the beach.  However, that is not the bad news. The bad news is that not only was the entirety of the shop destroyed, but the rental shack's newest, lovable employee, affectionately called "Richter" was found brutally murdered amongst the wreckage…"

            Police carried off a covered stretcher, presumably holding the body of the once-energetic experiment…

            "Incidents like these have occurred at least sixteen times within the past night.  They all seem to have one thing in common; they have all seemed to be focused upon new employees working at local shops, and new residents to the island.  Where these employees and residents originate from, and why these attacks are occurring, we are unsure. But for now, eyewitness news will release the names of these poor souls whose lives were brutally taken from them last night.  Their names are…"

            "Experiments 221, 513, 375, 344, 177, 300, 520, 501, 502, 601, 619, 509, 613, 602, 523, and 344." Omega thought to himself as he listened in upon the pitiful human female's report from the treeline.

It was certainly a very successful night…And soon, he would go after Experiment 626. But he wouldn't kill him right away…626 was Jumba's greatest creation, and Omega wanted 626 to feel the most pain of them all…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            "Again, ladies and gentlemen, the names of those poor victims were, "Sparky," "Richter," "Phantasmo," "Clip," "Spooky," "Cannonball," "Yin," "Yang," "Kixx," "Splodyhead," "Sprout," "Yaarp," "Sinker," "Slushy," and "Dupe."  Eyewitness news's greatest condolences go out to the families of these poor citizens of this great town. And we can only hold on together as a community to get through this, and to bring their murderers to justice. Once again, this is Susan Sazahara for eyewitness news…

Lilo and Stitch held each other as their bodies shook with sobs; they had just lost a part of their family, of their big Ohana. It could never, ever be replaced. 

"Who would do this!? Who could be so cruel…" Lilo yelled between sobs.

Pleakly was sitting on the floor, silent.  He was in shock as the news sunk into his mind.  And Jumba? Jumba was furious that anyone would dare to slaughter his creations like this. Jumba was an evil scientist, hell; he would always be one at heart. However, he had grown to love his little family. He even began to feel as if his experiments were his children…And somebody had just killed 16 of them. Jumba's features narrowed further in his anger.

"I will not take this sitting down…626, come with me…"
