Lilo and Stitch: Spongy
Somewhere in Hawaii lay Ganto's downed spaceship. Speaking of him, a somewhat taller figure looking like Ganto but an inch taller was standing in front of the spaceship, sneering. It wore a red body suit with blue gauntlets. Ganto looked at the figure. He thought to himself, "Stupid brother." This particular brother was kicked off Ganto's home planet for trying to conquer the planet. His group was known as the Sharker Crime Syndicate. His name was Ulysses Sharker. He looked at Ganto and said "Brother, it is time for me to take out the brat. And this time we are doing it MY way!"
Ganto thought back to when his brother had first reappeared. The figure stepped out right after that incident in which Ganto lost party pooper. There was a knock on Ganto's ship door. He opened the door. He stared at his brother and said "no this can't be; you are dead!" Ulysses said "Shut up you large lunatic! I have authorization from Dr. Hamsterville to capture the experiments for him should you fail again. Ulysses then interrupted Ganto's train of thought by taking out several large suitcases he had brought with him when he had reappeared.
Meanwhile, at Lilo's house, the resident evil genius Dr. Jumba was remembering something. He was working on a planet one time called Trio where most of his experiments had been created. Lilo came in and asked him something. "Hey Jumba, what was it like creating the experiments? You told me once you created them for a company."
"I will tell you." he said. "Long ago, more than three years ago in fact, there was a company known as the Halo Corporation headquartered on the wonderful planet Trio. The planet itself was filled with many ancient ruins undisturbed by a modern skyline of glistening metal. The headquarters looked like a gigantic circular dome. I came there to work for Halo when I was 35 years old. I had been sent back 8 grades twice in college because of my mischievous experiments in the occult." The evil genius then said "I am talking about magical occult rituals like summoning spirits and voodoo." Lolo smiled and the evil genius gave a soft chuckle. "One day, the company issued a contest for a team of biological weapons. Six experiments were required. I had already been doing this kind of thing for the company, so I entered it along with my arch rival—Antoine Cyn."
"His were accepted; mine were not."
"However, his experiments were more intelligent than you could imagine. One of them absorbed him. He was declared dead. The experiments known as 'the Betas' quickly seized control of the company. They forced the head of the company off the planet. I left shortly before this. The company then became know for its vile acts and possible crime connections. It became infamous across the universe."
"I returned to the company now renamed as it is known now", he said raising his voice and sounding sinister. He then shouted out loud screaming "the Kilowatt Corporation". "The company was eventually destroyed by an unknown rebel. It was split apart into 4 halves and scattered throughout the universe. I had left by then"
"626 was not sanctioned by the government or the company. That and I had to use a little bit more than the normal amount of magic to make him work."
Lilo and Stitch then went out looking for experiment pods. They didn't normally do this but they had a bad feeling that something terrible was going to happen.
They found a pod labeled 402. Bunker was 401. They took it back to Jumba, who looked it up on his computer. "Ah," he said. "This experiment is one of my personal favorites. It was created to have a body that could be invulnerable to plasma blasts, and just about anything else. It also has springs on its body, including a particularly large one on its head. It can repel a plasma shot straight back to its source."
"Is it evil?" Lilo asked.
The evil genius said, "No, not evil. No point in making it evil since it can not attack anything."
Lilo then said, "I'm going to name it Spongy… In any case, do you know anything else about that kilowatt corporation?"
The evil genius said, "No, nothing else; even the planet it had its base on is mysterious."
Meanwhile Bunker was coming up from the junkyard towards Lilo's house. He was pulling a wheelbarrow full of junk, including a fax machine, two speakers, a lap top computer, and two combination walky talky cell phones which had unlimited range. He had built the phones himself.
Bunker walked up to the house. He gave Lilo and Stitch the walky talkies along with the speakers and the computer. He gave the rest of the stuff to a hardware store to resell. Then he returned to the house.
Meanwhile Ganto's brother, Ulysses, had managed to unpack all the suitcases. He explained that they were parts to a giant robot that was almost indestructible. "My motto is if you want something dead, build something big to crush it."
The robot was black with a dome of what appeared to be clear glass. The robot, which previously had been the same size as Ganto, began to grow outside Ganto's ship. Now the robot's cockpit was large enough to hold Ganto and his brother. The robot, with the brothers inside, marched toward Lilo's house.
Lilo had activated the experiment by dropping it in a glass of water. The experiment had an elongated mouth, a large slightly triangular nose, a blue spring on its head, and a spring on its stomach and back. Its body looked like a sponge. He had two pointed ears on his head, with antennae between them. The experiment had a blue head with blue arms and body. The hands and feet were the same color. The experiment had sharp pointed teeth and the usual black eyes.
To his surprise, as Bunker approached Lilo's house an explosion blew off a section of one of the walls. Bunker thought, "Dear Lord, I hope the house is insured."
Lilo, Stitch and Spongy walked down with Jumba from his ship. Jumba was saying to Lilo, "Since your science studies are going well, I am considering teaching you a little magic. Particularly since you have an interest in …" That is when he saw the giant robot. Lilo took one look at the apparently demolished portion of the house and said, "Oh boy, Nonny is not going to like this."
The robot's hands turned into two plasma cannons, which fired straight at Lilo. However, Spongy appeared and deflected the shots. They hit the robot. However he wasn't damaged. Ulysses spoke into a microphone in the cockpit, "I am Ulysses Sharker of the Sharker Crime Syndicate, here on orders from Dr. Hamsterville. I am here,"he flashed a truly evil grin, "to kill you both." He pointed to Lilo and Stitch.
Stitch tried to lift the robot, but it wouldn't budge. It kicked him; Stitch landed on the roof of the house. Lilo looked concerned. She asked, "Are you okay?" He replied, "Of course. I am fluffy."
Lilo, who muttered something about needing Bob Villa to fix the house, looked at the robot and suddenly stared. She pointed her finger at four spots on the robot. She turned to Jumba and said, "Structural integrity points, there, there, there and there…" Jumba stared at her.
Stitch then tried to attack the robot. He rolled into a ball to avoid being squashed by the robot repeatedly pounding the ground with his fists. Bunker meanwhile came up with a plan. He pointed to Lilo and said, "What did you say about structured integrity points?" Lilo said, "You see those four rods that stick out from the front and back? You pull those out and you can cause the whole thing to collapse." "Where did you learn that from?" Bunker asked.
"A show called Robot Showcase," she answered. "The robot has electrified paneling. While it won't kill Stitch it will give him a nasty shock, so I suggest he not try to climb it."
"In that case" said Bunker, "I have a plan. I need to get to the junkyard." He ran off. Before leaving, he said, "Have that new experiment with the springs catch the robot's plasma shots and bounce it right back at him, in order to distract it."
When he came back ten minutes later he was riding a go-cart with a platform attached. He said, "Hop on Stitch." Stitch did. With Spongy repealing the plasma blasts, allowing Stitch to leap on, the platform rose like an elevator. He jumped on to the robot, grabbing on to the metal bars. He then pulled them out one by one. He grabbed on to the platform and knocked the last one out with a single punch.
Meanwhile Lilo had managed to get Stitch's plasma cannon and fired at the dome, blowing it up. Ganto said, "I hate that girl and that trog." Ulysses said, "Well, I hate her too." The robot collapsed with a loud explosion. Jumba called the Galactic Federation while Lilo had the plasma cannon trained on Ulysses. Stitch grabbed Ganto and threw him at Spongy, who bounced Ganto straight back to his ship. Ulysses was taken away by the Galactic Federation. Spongy was taken to a local hospital where he bounced on his head and made faces cheering up children. He also served as an attraction for the local aquarium. Ganto was not arrested, as they had nothing to charge him with. Ulysses had been evading arrest for many years. He was charged with attempted assassination, evading arrest, and collaborating with known criminals. Dr. Hamsterville snarled when he was informed. "It's time to put a little plan of mine in action."
Next time.. Dr. Hamsterville sends Lilo and Stitch, and others, to a cavern in which he puts 624 and another experiment. It will take everything they have to evade the deadly traps. Can they do it? Find out in The Trap of 624.
