Sorry this took so long people... I haven't been feeling motivated lately...Anyways... Review? It might make me feel motivated..
Starry: You? Motivated? I don't think that's even possible.
Me: (frowns at Starry) It's possible... if rarely..
Skye: No.. I think Starry's right. You being motivated doesn't seem possible.
Me:(sighs)Yeah, anyway here's chapter 14 of Starry and Skye for those few people who actually read this...
Starry's POV
My eyes are closed, and headphones are covering my ears. Suddenly someone yanks the earphones off. My eyes open to see an angry (okay... maybe more like a pissed off) Nani. Hey.. when'd she come home? I never heard her car pull up. Oh yeah.. I had the volume up nearly full blast. I see Skye peek his head out from under the couch. Oh... so that was what he was trying to tell me a minute ago.
"Where's Lilo at?" frowns Nani.
"A experiment was activated," I reply," she and Stitch went to capture it." Nani sighs angrily hearing this.
"She shouldn't have gone experiment hunting as dark as it is outside," she mutters. I open my mouth, about to tell Nani that the experiment was causing it and if she and Stitch didn't capture it, it would always be dark, but then my common sense kicks in and I say nothing. If I had said that, Nani would most likely be even more worried and more protective about Lilo, not to mention even angrier. Nani then glances at me. "Since you didn't stop her and Stitch from experiment hunting.. you're going out to get them."
"Uh... I tried to stop them and they wouldn't listen?" I say.
"Not buying it. Now, you go outside and bring back Lilo," orders Nani. I sigh and jump off the couch.
"Come on Skye, you're coming too. No use pretending you're not under there," I say, kicking the couch. Skye crawls out, partially covered in dust. "So, where do you think Lilo and Stitch are?"I ask as we walk out the front door. He shrugs. I glance around me. This is gonna be harder than I thought.. I can barely see three feet in front of me.Basically this shadow stuff is like fog. Very dark, and thick, fog. "Can't you get rid of this stuff Skye?"
He shakes his head."I can only control clouds. Plus that experiment is controlling this stuff, I can only control cloud stuff that no one else is controlling."
"Hmm..." I mutter. "Well, 439, most likely, went somewhere that's already shady before he made all this darkness. So, I'm guessing he's in a forest."
"That doesn't help us much.. We can't really see where we're going!"Skye says.
"You can always guess where you're going," I mutter back, now setting foot onto a dirt road. "Plus, I have a pretty good idea which direction we're going."
"Well, we're still gonna have a hard time finding Lilo and Stitch," he says. I shrug, then stop abruptly.
"Is it just me or does it seem to be getting darker around here? We must be getting close.." I move my antenni in front of me, to help me feel around. One of my antenni pokes something... furry... Something hisses in front of me. The smoke-darkness lifts some, revealing a smoke grey, cat like thing, with black rimmed purple eyes, two silver horns and fangs, with a tail that divides into two. I step back some, walking into Skye. "Umm... I think I might've found 439," Iwhisper to Skye. 439 narrows his eyes at us, then runs off, the darkness that had once lifted, returning. "Gah, I shoulda knocked him out with a the tranquilizig stuff in my antenni while I had the chance.."
"Come on... let's just find Lilo and Stitch so we can get out of here," Skye says, walking to the side of me. "Let them worry about catching 439." I sigh.
"Lilo! Stitch! Nani wants ya home now!" I yell, and swivel my ears, ready to figure out which direction the two are.
"Starry?"I hear Lilo yell. Hmm... sounds like they're up ahead. I grab Skye's hand and walk towards Lilo's voice. As Skye and I walk into a clearing, I see Lilo and Stitch, barely. "What are you guys doing here?" Lilo asks.
"Nani forced us... well technically she forced Starry, who forced me to come along," explains Skye.
"Oh... have you caught any sign of 439? Stitch and I still haven't found him."
"Starry here accidentally ran into him, but that's it," Skye replies. I turn my head, hearing something in the bushes. That area also seems to have darker fog.
"439.." I mutter, stepping slowly towards the bushes. Suddenly a barrier appears between me and him. Something that looks alot like my electric sheild, but black and purple. Yes, he's in there, and he can't hide forever behind his sheild. Maybe he needs a little ..motivation... I place my palms together, and form a large electric orb. With a swing of my arm, the orbcrashes into the shield. I back away as the shield gives off a sizzling sound. Uhh... maybe I shouldn't have done anything. The shield breaks apart, revealing an enraged 439. He grits his teeth, and throws an orb at me. I jump sideways at the last minute, and as it hits the ground where I was standing a few seconds ago I take a closer look at it. Like the sheild, it was purple and black, and reminded me of the things I can create with my electric powers. I back off, eyes wide in surprise as the orb turns into fog.
"Starry get away from that orb! Jumba says if you breathe in the fog it makes you'll get knocked out and have nightmares,"Lilo informs me. 439 begins to walk closer to us. I could tell by looking in his eyes he was planning to attack us. Well, probably me first, after the whole poking him accidentaly, and then destroying his sheild. His paws begin to glow purple. I walk even closer to Lilo, Stitch, and Skye.
"Starry," whispers Skye," make a shield around us." I smack myself in the head. Why didn't I think of that sooner? I outstretch my arms in front of me, formingtwo glowing orbs that hover over my palms. As I crash them together, they form as one, and outstretch as a barrier between us and 439. The electricity keeps spreading, going up, down, left and right, making a hallow orb shield.
"Um Stitch? Don't touch that," I say as I notice Stitch's outstretched arm moving closer to the side of the shield.
"Soka," he replies, returning his arm to his side.
"What are we gonna do? We can't stay here forever! But 439 is out there waiting to attack us," Lilo sighs. Huh... good question.
"Well... someone could try to frighten 439 away," I say,thinking up the availible options, "or someone could distract him while someone else captures him."
"We'll go with the last one," replys Lilo. She glances around, obviously thinking up a plan. After some time she finally says," Okay, Stitch and Skye, you two distract 439. Starry and I will capture 439." Stitch, Skye, and I all nod. "Starry, lower the sheild when I say so...3...2...1... NOW!" With a motion of my hand, I banish the sheild, watching as Skye and Stitch run out towards 439. I run over tothe tree where Lilo had left the container, and pick up the container, returning it back to Lilo.
439 backs away slowly from Stitch and Skye, barring his teeth.Although he was watching Skye and Stitch, he was still wary of me and Lilo,knowing we were up to something.
"Okay, we gotta try to capture 439 at just the right time," says Lilo. I nod as I watch Skye create some clouds. With a wave of his hands the clouds begin to merge together, swirling into a funnel shape, creating a small tornado.
"Well, that should keep 439 busy," I mutter to Lilo. 439's paws begin to glow purple again, but the lightdiminishes as he runs from the tornado coming his way. Stitch jumps in front of him, blocking him off from that direction. Skye runs over blocking off 439 from escaping near him. Skye's antenni glow for a second and the tornado seperates into two, blocking 439 from the sides. The grey and black experiments tries to go around them all, but Skye, Stitch, and the two tornadoes keep him from running away. Lilo grabs the container, knowing now would be a perfect time to capture the experiment. 439 sees her coming, and hisses. Suddenly he glows purple, and slowly turns into purple tinted fog, rising up into the sky.
"No way are we losing him.." I mutter. "Lilo! Throw me the container!" I morph out my wings, and jump into the air, catching the container as Lilo throws it.I glance around,trying to find the purplish fog."Skye, where's 439 at?" Skye's antenni begin glowing.
"Straight ahead," he says morphing out his wings, and flying next to me."I'll come along in case you lose track of him." I narrow my eyes, searching through the grey fog. Aha! I flap my wings and zoom towards the fog. I open the container and push it in front of me.
"You're not getting away from me," I murmur. Quickly I force 439, in his fog form, into the container, and close it before he could escape. The fog spins around, and turns back into 439's normal form. He hisses at me, but I simply raise an eyebrow, and fly back down to the ground. I land back onto the ground handing Stitch the container.
"Now, what should we name him?" Lilo thinks out loud."Shadow?" I shake my head.
"There's really too many experiments with names that start with S; Stitch, Skye, Slushie...Starry.."I say, listing a couple."How about Dusk? I think it fits him pretty well."
"Ih," agrees Stitch. Lilo put her hand up to her chin, thinking about it.
"Alright, Dusk it is!" she finally says."We'll find the one place you belonglater Dusk, first we better get home."
"Yeah.. if we don't get you and Stitch back soon Nani will kill me and Starry," says Skye. I nod.
"We might wanna get rid of all this fog, but only 43-uh- Dusk can get rid of it," I suggest. " I can only imagine all the cars that have crashed by now.." Damn, if only I had a camera to capture all of those cars crashing...it would provide hours of fun.
"How 'bout it Dusk? Will you let up the fog?" asks Lilo. Dusk sighs.. and reluctantly nods his head. The fog slowly lifts, fading away, and the air becomes clear once again. I close my eyes at the brightness. Gah it burns! I miss the darkness...I slowly open my eyes, trying to gradually get used to the bright light. I need some sunglasses.
"Come on Starry," says Skye, walking infront of me.
"Yeah, yeah.." I reply as I follow behind Lilo, Skye, and Stitch.
