Chapter 4, A familiar foe

Lilo panicking ran back to her house. She had no idea what Dr. Hamstervëil would do to her kids or Stitch. She quickly sped home as fast as she could run. Upset and frightened, she called the police right when she got home.

Officer: Hello, Kauai city police. how may I help you?

Lilo(frantically): I would like to report several abductions!

Officer: Calm down Mam. Now, explain to me what you want me to know.

Lilo: Ok, this guy from outer space flew down from his ship. He already kidnaped my friend, and now he kidnaped all of my kids! Please, you have to help me!

Officer: Wait a minute, aren't you the same girl who called reporting a ghost haunting?

Lilo: This is serious! Please! You have to believe me!

Officer: Right... Click

Lilo: Hello? HELLO!?!? Why don't they believe me!?!? Hey, I wonder if Nani is home.

Lilo calls Nani. It rings three times and then it picks up.

Nani: Hello?

Lilo: Nani, it is me.

Nani: Hello Lilo. What do you need?

Lilo: Now I want you to listen closely to what I have to say. Ok, after Stitch ran off the other day he was kidnaped, and then me and the kids went to try and find him. We couldn't so we just went home. There was a note on the door. It was a ransom for Stitch. I couldn't provide the ransom, actually I tried to trick him, and then the man knocked out Jumba and took the kids! He said he was Dr. Hamstervëil! Then I tried to call the police but they didn't believe me so I called you.

Nani(puzzled): Umm, ok. So what do you want me to do?

Lilo: Help me! Dr Hamstervëil said he was coming back for me!

Nani: Well, ok. I will be right over. I will have my husband watch the kids.

Lilo: Thank you so much.

Meanwhile the kids are being held captive on Dr. Hamstervëil's ship. Each one is in an individual cell... and Stitch is in the last one. The cages are indestructible. Stitch continuously struggles to break free.

Dr. H: Haha! Struggle all you want! Those bars are indestructible! Zay cannot be broken!

Keta(scared): Wh... wh... why did you t-take us?

Dr. H: Well, little girl. Your mommy lied to me and now she must pay the price. But don't worry, you will see her again. In fact we are going to pick her up real soon like.

Keta: Please let us go. We never did anything to hurt you.

Dr. H: No, of course you didn't. This is all your mommy's fault!

Keta: What did mommy do?

Dr. H: She ruined my plan to take over the world! Her and 626 over there.

Keta: 626?

Dr. H: Stitch, whatever! That doesn't matter. Now you will wait here like good little kids while I get your mommy!

Dr. H put on a secret disguise so he could easily snatch Lilo without being noticed. Meanwhile Lilo is waiting inside with all of the doors locked. Nani is not there yet. She paces back and forth worrying and hoping her kids and Stitch are all right. Finally there was a buzz at the doorbell.

Lilo(surprised): AH! WHO IS IT!?!?!

Nani: It is just me, Lilo! Calm down.

Lilo: Oh thank god.

Nani: Ok, now Dr. Hamsterwheel kidnaped your kids and Stitch?

Lilo: Yes, he did! I am so sad right now! I hope Stitch is all right!

Nani: I am sure they are fine... now why don't you just calm down and relax.

Lilo: How can I relax when my kids are in jeopardy!?!?

Nani: I said, RELAX!

Lilo: Ok, no need to get angry. Now how will we get them back.

Nani: I think maybe you should have just gave him experiment 627 instead of faking it!

Lilo: No, I... hey wait a minute. I never told you he wanted an experiment! And how did you know which one?

Nani: Quite!

Lilo: What is wrong with you, Nani?

All the sudden someone rang the doorbell.

Voice: Hello! Lilo, are you there? It is me, Nani!

Lilo looked at the Nani in front of her and a cold sweat broke over her.

Lilo: You aren't Nani... you are...

Dr. H: Yes! I am the infamous Dr Jacques Von. Hamstervëil! And I am here to take you... with me!

Lilo: No! Get away from me! NO!!!

Nani: Lilo? Are you ok in there? What's going on?

Hamstervëil punches Lilo and temporarily knocks her out.

Nani: Lilo! Open this door now!

The door slowly open.

Dr. H.: Lilo isn't here right now.

Nani: What have you done with my sister you imposter!

Dr. H: I got her right here. Say goodbye pest! You will never see her ever again!

Nani tries to tackle Dr. H but he his ship arrives and picks him up before she can do anything.

Nani: NO! Lilo!!

Dr H throws Lilo in the cell right next to Stitch. He takes off his disguise and walks off into a different room. Lilo just starts to regain consciousness.

Lilo: Oh, where am I?

Keta: Mommy! You're all right!

Shilo: Mom, did he hurt you?

Haui: He better not have or I'll...

Lilo: I am fine kids... wait Stitch!

Stitch looks the other way trying to ignore Lilo.

Lilo: Stitch, please hear me out. You were right. Juan was cheating on me. I caught him red handed in our own home! I tried searching the whole island for you to say...

Lilo then stops and puts her head into her knees and cries.

Keta: Mommy?

Stitch cannot ignore Lilo crying.

Stitch: Lilo?

Lilo: Stitch... I am sorry for hurting you. We should have stayed best friends forever but instead I was being selfish. I wanted to have the perfect family... but instead I shoved out the people that were once my only family.

Stitch: Ohana.

Lilo: What?

Stitch: Remember, ohana means nobody is left behind...

Lilo:... Or forgotten.

Keta: I remember that mommy! I learned that word in school!

Shilo: Quit saying mommy you baby.

Keta: Mommy!

Lilo: This is not the time or place to fight kids. We have to figure out a plan to escape... just like the old days. Remember Stitch?

Stitch: Yah.

Lilo: Are you sure you can't chew through these bars?

Stitch: Naga. To strong.

Lilo: There has to be a way to get out of here. There just has to be.

Just then Dr. H walks back in the room. He walks up to Lilo's cell.

Dr. H: So. You are reunited with your friends. Isn't zat sweet.

Lilo: Let us go!

Dr. H: HAHA! You should have thought of that before you pulled the sneaky thing on me you sneaky snake!

Lilo: I am sorry. I will get you 627. Whatever. I just want you to let us go.

Dr. H: Well, zat would be the nice like thing to do. Am I a nice guy?

Haui: Let us go you rat!

Lilo: Shut up Haui!

Dr. H: What a mouthy little brat... you die first.

Lilo: WHAT?!?! YOU ARE GOING TO KILL US!?!?

Keta: Please no!

Dr. H: You are a sweet little girl. So shy and tender. You couldn't hurt a fly.

Keta: Please, sir. I was to live!

Dr. H: Aww, how sad. Boo hoo. I will tell you what. Who do you want to live?

Keta: Everyone! I don't want my family to die!

While Dr. Hamstervëil is teasing the little girl she noticed the keys are hanging right on his buckle.

Keta: I really have to go potty, sir.

Dr. H: Well do you now?

Lilo: Yes! She has a bladder control problem! Please just let her go!

Dr. H: Ok, I will let you go. You have 3 minutes. Go down the hall and turn left. Don't go into any other rooms you adorable little girl!

Keta: Ok.

Dr. H: Now... where was I?

Keta waits until he is turned back around. Lilo signals for her to unlock Stitch's cage. Just as she finds the right key Dr. H notices his keys are missing.

Dr. H: Hey! You sneaky one! Give me back my keys!

Lilo: Run, Keta! RUN!

Keta runs into the halls, trying not to run into anything. She just keeps running and running until she is caught at a dead end.

Keta: Oh no!

Dr. H slams the door open.

Dr. H: Give me back my keys, NOW! And then be prepared to be called a lot of bad names and be blasted with molten acid!

Keta: Someone help me!

Bad luck. Keta ran into the arsenal rooms and right beside Dr. H was a gun that shot molten hot acid. Keta was cornered. But luckily for Stitch there were spare keys, which Dr. H never noticed right beside his cell. Will Stitch reach the keys in time? Will Keta be all right? Will Lilo, Stitch and the kids ever make it out alive? Stay tuned for Chapter 5, Crazy escape!
