************************************************************************
The next morning, Lilo and Stitch were eating breakfast and Nani was getting ready for work. Jumba and Pleakley were in the living room talking about how to get the mosquitos to stop biting Pleakley. The news was on but no one was really listening until it said something that caught Lilo's attention. He hopped off her seat and ran to the T.V. Stitch followed her. She raised the volume.
"It looks like there is yet another monster in Kauai. Citizens say this monster is burning everything in its path and collecting the ashes."
"Jumba!" Lilo called out. "Is this another experiment?"
Jumba got up and looked into the T.V. screen. It was showing a clip of a chubby gray dragon-like monster with very pointy ears. He went to his computer.
"I remember this experiment. He is x379. He is fiery experiment, but his primary function is…is… Bah, the computer is not computing. Is still broken from when Pleakley fell on it while trying on pantyhose. Hmm, I am remembering he burns things for the cinder. Cinder is weapon, not fire. Come back later. I will fix computer and have more information on x379. I am not suggesting you go out to find him, but if you do be careful of cinder."
"Don't worry, Jumba. We will. Come on, Stitch. We have to get your cousin."
"Let's do it!"
They ran to the buggy and hopped in. Lilo recognized the area where the news crew was and told Stitch how to get there. When they arrived, the place was wrecked. The stands on the street were burned and all the things from the stands were either scattered, or burned. Some of the front windows to the shops were broken and there was no one in sight.
"I wonder where 379 is." Lilo thought out loud.
Stitch perked up his ears and tried to listen for any clues. He picked up some footsteps near by. He hopped out of the buggy and smelled the air. A smoky smell hung in the air and the smell lead to the jungle near by.
"This way." He said tugging on Lilo's arm.
"You smell something, Stitch?" She asked, hopping out of the buggy with her backpack.
"Yeah."
Lilo followed Stitch into the jungle. They spotted 379 in a clearing. He was shaking his fur and some ashes fell from him.
"Remember what Jumba said, 'watch out for the ashes'. " Lilo reminded Stitch. Stitch nodded.
He reached into Lilo's pack and pulled out some rope. Stitch thought he would try and tie him up. He tied the rope into a lasso and started to spin it. He slowly walked over to the experiment. Suddenly, Stitch couldn't feel his feet. He looked down at them and lost his balance. He fell over and when he landed, he lost most of the feeling in his body. Stitch grunted as he tried to get up.
"Stitch! What's wrong?!" Lilo yelled. She began to run over to him.
Stitch hated falling over, looking klutzy in front of Lilo and his cousin. After all, he was supposed to be the best. He sighed in frustration. He noticed ashes flaring up as he did.
"No, Lilo! Stay where you are! There's cinder all over here!" Stitch yelled back.
Lilo stopped. She looked over to the experiment. He shook again and ashes fell around him. 379 had shaken a circle of cinder around himself to protect him. Lilo looked over to Stitch.
"Stitch, what's wrong? What can I do?" She yelled. Stitch moved his neck a bit and realized he could move his neck.
"I can't move. Here, grab this!" Stitch bit on the rope he was spinning not too long ago and flung it at her. "Be careful. There's cinder on it."
Lilo looked at the rope and saw the ashes. She looked around for something to cover her hands with. She saw a bush with big leaves on it and grabbed two of them, then the rope. Stitch had it around his arms when he fell. So, when she pulled on it, it pulled Stitch's arm, pulling him to safety. Lilo looked over to 379 and saw him scurry away. She turned back to Stitch, who was still numb on the ground.
"379 left, Stitch." She said.
Stitch grunted hoping Lilo didn't say that in hopes that he would hop up and go after him. She started to speak again.
"Don't worry about him. Right now, I have to get you home somehow so Jumba can fix you right up. At least, I hope he can."
"Yea, me too." Stitch said half being sarcastic.
"Okay, wait right here. I'm going to go back to the street and see if I can find something to carry you in."
*Aw, I have to stay here? I wanted to go run around and do things with my not numb body.* He thought sarcastically.
Lilo ran to the street and looked around. She saw a red wagon in the broken window of the toy store. Knowing she would return it, she went to the store and took it. She wheeled it over to Stitch and put him in it. She was careful not to touch the parts of his body that were gray with ashes.
Soon they were home. Lilo ran around the house looking for Jumba. He was in the kitchen.
"Jumba," Lilo said a bit out of breathe.
"Oh, little girl, did you capture 379? Where is 626?" He asked, noticing the lack of Stitch's presents.
"He's in the wagon in the living room and no we didn't get 379." Lilo pointed in Stitch direction.
Jumba went into the living room and peered into the wagon. "Little girl, what happened to 626?"
"He's broken. Can you fix him?"
Jumba bent close to the wagon, examining Stitch.
"What happened, little girl?"
"Well, we took the buggy to the street we saw on the T.V., but when we got there, we didn't see 379 anywhere. So, Stitch sniffed around and found his scent. We finally caught up to him and Stitch tried to lasso him, which was really cool. He was about to throw it, but we didn't know 379 put cinder all around himself and he stepped in it. Then he tripped and got ashes all over him. I pulled him out and put him in a wagon. Then we came home and I asked you of you could fix Stitch."
Jumba stared at Lilo hoping that was the end of her story. When he was certain it was, he went up stairs and grabbed a pair of gloves. He came back down and picked up Stitch and brought him to the kitchen.
"I think all we have to do is to wipe off all cinder and he will return to normality."
Lilo nodded her head and Jumba got a cloth and began wiping Stitch. Soon, all the cinder was off and Stitch sat up.
"Wow…Thanks, Jumba. I'm glad I can feel again. It felt weird not being able to feel…Um, if that makes any type of sense."
"Don't worry, 626. I am understanding what you are saying and you are most welcome. Now, I must take the cinder and analyze it to see why it caused your body to go limp."
"But, Jumba, you created all of us. Don't you know why?" Stitch asked.
"Hey, there are 626 of you running around on island. Be glad I know all your numbers. See, this is why I had assistant and computer. So, my mind could be concentrating on evil geniusing and not tiny details."
"But your assistant isn't here and the computer is broken." Stitch said, trying to get the point across that Jumba better start remembering important things, like the details of the experiments they were going after.
"Jumba had an assistant?" Lilo asked.
Stitch put his hand up. "Long story." Stitch wasn't in the mood to tell Lilo the story.
Jumba sighed and went to his spaceship with the cinder filled cloth. Awhile later, Jumba had results. It turned out that the cinder had some special oil on it that paralyzes whatever it touches. This jogged Jumba's memory. He went back to the house to tell Lilo and Stitch his findings.
"I am remembering now. 379 puts cinder on his skin and the oils in his skin get on to the cinder. There are different types of oils. He can create paralyze powder, sneeze powder, sleep powder, and itchy powder. Boy, I am not wanting to be you if you get 379's itchy powder on you. It doesn't effect 379 because he has an oil in his skin the counters the effects of the paralyze oil he produces."
"Wow, he could have made Stitch fall asleep. Then, we would have been in a real pickle." Lilo pointed out.
"Yeah," Jumba whispered.
Lilo and Stitch left the room to talk about a new plan to catch 379. Jumba began thinking about how 626 and little girl could have been in big trouble. He went to his room at the top of the stair and looked over to his computer. He realized that he couldn't fix it here on Earth without the right tools or replacement parts. Earth did have computers but they weren't nearly as advanced. So, there was nothing on Earth he could use to fix it. He could send out for the parts, but shipping alone would be very expensive.
He sighed and walked back to the living room. Pleakley was there already. He was dressed as a maid and vacuuming the curtains, making a mess of things as usual. He noticed Jumba looking a bit off and decided to say something.
"Hey, Jumba, why so down, buddy?"
"I was almost causing 626 and little girl to be in serious trouble. All because ridiculous computer is not making computations correctly."
"Oh…Uh…Computer still on the fritz, huh?" Pleakley asked, feeling a bit guilty for breaking it in the first place. "Listen, Jumba, if you want I'll try to pay for it, um……eventually."
Jumba gave Pleakley a half smile. He knew Pleakley meant well, but Jumba knew he had about as much money as he did, none. They both didn't have jobs, and it would be a bit out of the question to ask Nani or David for so much. Jumba sighed.
"I wish I had connection on other planet that could send parts to me."
Pleakley's eye widened as he got an idea. "Hey, Jumba, you do." He said with a jump.
"I do not. You and Earthlings are only connections I am having now since banishment."
"Well, what about your old girlfriend?"
"Who? Zurc?"
"Yeah,"
"She is not old girlfriend." Jumba said a bit bashfully and blushing a tiny bit.
"Well, she's still a connection. Maybe she can lend you the money to buy the parts you need, or maybe she can come and fix it, or maybe she can come and just visit and you two can catch up." Pleakley said, walking over to the bookshelf and reaching for a book. Jumba stayed quiet for a while. He was thinking about what Pleakley just said and was considering calling her, but then he realized something. He didn't have her number.
"Oh, I supposed, I would call her, but I don't have the numbers to which she can be contacted with." He said half bluffing.
"Don't trouble you little four-eyed head about that, Jumba." Pleakley held out a piece of paper with numbers on it. Jumba stared at it.
"Where did you find this?"
"In my trusty Intergalactic Periwinkle Pages. Like I said, 'there are only so many phones in the galaxy', and apparently she's listed. See…" Pleakley opened the book. " 'Zurc DeAlba – 597-A'…Hmm… I wonder what '597-A' means."
"That is the experiment I let her keep. Oh, it was 597-A, not 597-B. Yes, I remember now. B is for bad. Hmm, I wonder if 597-A is still looking with the same cuteness as when I last saw her."
"Well, there's only one way to find out." Pleakley held out the phone for Jumba to take.
He looked at the phone and swallowed hard.
************************************************************************
Wow, that took a long time to write. My brain is full of ideas and it is beginning to hurt.
I hope you liked this chapter. I sure did. Sorry about the cliff hanger though. If you really want to know, you get to met 597-A and Dr. Zurc DeAlba in the next chapter which will be up sometime next week or sooner. I don't know. It all depends on what the little voices inside my head tell me to do. They can be so loud.
Please review. I need them to prove to the world that I'm not insane…..or at least to show them that my insanity and free time are put to good, juicy, and creative use.
The next chapter is going to include the following items; red lightning, a phone, a space ship, the color lavender, some Spanish letters, and someone who can read thoughts. These items have been listed in no particular order. SYL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
