Stitch moved his head weakly across his shoulders and opened his eyes. A moving red and yellow blur stood before him. He blinked his eyes squinting trying to focus on the object in front of him. The red and yellow blurs slowly turned into an experiment aiming a plasma pistol at him. "Huh?"

The experiment narrowed its eyes and readjusted its weapon. "Ah Experiment 626. Good, you're awake." Stitch turned his head and smacked it against something large that he had been tied to. It moved and let out a groan.

"626 do be being careful."

"Jumba?" The experiment flipped the pistol in it hand and struck it across Stitch's face.

"Quiet! You have already been a nuisance to me." Stitch turned his head slowly trying not to hit Jumba. A small hover pad floated behind the experiment. Dr. Hamsterviel sat on it watching him intently over the experiment's shoulder. "I see you have met Project Alpha." Stitch looked back at the experiment and let out a growl. "It's a pity you will not live long enough to find out what he is truly capable of."

Jumba looked around the room they were in. there was a large piece of equipment standing in the center of the room it was generating a large amount of light as well as heat. Jumba looked at the wires coming out of the base of it leading to other pieces of equipment and then recognized the labels on the wires. High voltage. "So that is how you are being able to operate lab and still not be detected by galactic federation. You have been using fusion based power."

Dr. Hamsterviel's hover pad floated around to Jumba. "Yes. I couldn't let one of my greatest creations be confiscated. And this time I CAN claim ownership! This is Project Alpha. A creature whose sole purpose is to kill and do it efficiently. Unlike your experiments Jumba, who can only perform one task with much skill, he is also capable of many minor skills. Survival, make-shift weaponry, the list goes on."

The sound of a door hissing open and then closing with a thud echoed through out the room. Shauni poked her head out from behind the large fusion generator. Project Alpha broke his stare and relaxed his grip for a moment to look at her. She walked out and stood a distance from Project Alpha looking at him with a sad face. "You!" Project Alpha's ears perked up at the voice. He quickly turned back to Stitch aiming his weapon at his head. "You've been on the rodent's side all the time!" Stitch yelled out in Turian. Shauni's lips began to tremble as she shook her head.

Hamsterviel hovered in front of her staring intently at stitch. "No actually! Nice try though. I had her sent to Gantu, that ignorant minion. She is Project Beta. And while I did send her to Gantu unfortunately she is not working or in anyway helping me. Her purpose is not important, at least not yet." Shauni ran behind Project Alpha hiding her face and her tears. Project alpha looked over his shoulder and winced. "Now if you must let me go. I have to prep one of the ships in the docking bay for a long journey. I'll need to take project alpha somewhere where there is no galactic federation influence." Dr. Hamsterviel floated off to a console and began to make a few keystrokes.

Project Alpha looked away from Shauni and back at his prisoners. Jumba looked up at the fusion generator. "I don't get it."

Stitch turned his head. "Gaba?"

Jumba shook his head and looked at the ground. "Remember when we saw explosion armor in lab's underbelly?"

"Yeah."

Jumba turned his head to look at Stitch. "Fusion generator is to have mechanism above it to lower generator into air tight armor."

Stitch shrugged his shoulders. "So?"

Jumba motioned his head towards the generator. "Look." Stitch looked up at the generator. There were notched made in the generator housing form the mechanism, but there was not mechanism. It had been welded directly into the ceiling.

"It can't drop at all."

Jumba quietly nodded. "He really went with the lowest black market bidder."

Dr. Hamsterviel quickly turned around on his hover pad. "Silence!" his pad floated back over to Project Alpha. "I was going to have you both die when I set the fusion generator to overload but you have begun to irritate me." Dr. Hamsterviel turned to Project Alpha. "Kill them."

Project Alpha grinned and held the trigger on the plasma pistol. The barrel began to glow green becoming more and more intense as he held it in overcharge. Stitch franticly looked around for a means of escape but to no avail. Stitch looked at Shauni "Do something!"

Shauni sniffed wiping the tears from her eyes and put her arms around Project Alpha and rested her head on his shoulder. Project Alpha still stared down the sights on his pistol aimed at Stitch. "Remember what your father taught you."

Hamsterviel chuckled. "Yes! Remember all the training I taught you. To kill!" Project Alpha Gritted his teeth.

Shauni brought her mouth to Project Alpha's ear and whispered. "The difference between right and wrong." Project alpha relaxed his jaw and opened his eyes wide. Memories flooded his brain.

Kyle sat in the passenger seat of a large green van flying down the highway listening to music with one earphone in his ear. "Did I tell you?" Kyle looked over to his father driving the van.

"About what?"

"Right here on the highway I was driving by and saw a car with its hood open. Flames were flying out of the engine and from under the car. I pulled over went into the back of the van and got out my fire extinguisher and put out the fire." his father took his hands off the wheel for a moment and pretended to hold a fire extinguisher making the sounds of it spraying. He quickly put his hands back on the wheel and continued his story. "The fire department came said 'good work' and then I left." he laughed for a moment. "It was funny. That morning, before I saw the car on fire, I had replaced the discharged fire extinguisher and put in a fresh one. The one day I decide to change it. And it ends up being the one day I'd need it the most."

Kyle laughed. "Did your good deed of the week eh?" His father nodded.

Project Alpha's mouth slowly opened and looked at the plasma pistol he held. "Well?" Dr. Hamsterviel shrieked. "What are you waiting for? Kill them!" Project Alpha shrugged Shauni off of his shoulder, spun around and fired at Dr. Hamsterviel's hover pad. The shot hit the under side of the pad destabilizing it dropping Dr. Hamsterviel on the ground. "Ahhhhhh!" Turrets fell down from each corner of the room. Project alpha looked ate the turrets and then looked for cover. He picked up the hover pad and shielded himself. The turrets fired there shots striking the hover pad and bouncing off its polished surface. Project alpha paused for a moment and redirected his shield towards Jumba and Stitch. One of the turret's shots stuck the shield bouncing off and grazing Jumba and Stitch's restraints freeing them.

"Stitch! Don't let Shauni get hurt!" Stitch nodded and ran over to Shauni picking her up and hiding her underneath one of the computer consoles. Project Alpha drew the attention of the turrets towards himself and reflected there shots back at them. Each of the turrets exploded and then retracted into the ceiling. Project Alpha dropped the hover pad and slowly walked over to Dr. Hamsterviel.

"You thin you have won? You are sadly mistaken." He scurried across the floor and tired to jump up onto the consol he was working at earlier but failed.

Project Alpha grabbed him by his chest fur and held him up to his face. "Yur one evil critter ya know that. I remember now. I know who I am. I think it's you who failed." Hamsterviel smiled as a taping sound came from behind him. Project Alpha's eyebrows jumped. He looked over Dr. Hamsterviel's should to find his tail on a red button.

A cold mechanical voice echoed all through out the lab. "Fusion generator overload imminent. Estimated time before overload ten minutes and counting."

Hamsterviel folded his arms over Project Alpha's paw across his chest. "Now I have the final laugh." Project Alpha dropped Dr. Hamsterviel and turned around looking at the generator. It was getting brighter and brighter.

"We must be getting out of here. Emergency overload system has not been installed. Is bomb ticking." Jumba yelled.

Project Alpha looked at his paws flexing each of his fingers. He looked up at Shauni. She crawled out of the console and ran over to him and hanged him. Project Alpha stared blankly over her shoulder. "Jumba! Get everyone out. I'll fix it."

Shauni looked right into his face. "No!" Project alpha had a scowl on his face. He grabbed Shauni by her arm and threw her across the room towards Jumba and Stitch.

Project Alpha ran up to the generator and jumped onto the welded equipment. He drew out the pistol and fired it directly at one of the welds. The whole generator jerked loose hanging by the two remaining welds. He looked back at Jumba "Run!"

The computer blared another message through out the lab. "Fusion generator overload in seven minutes and counting."

Project Alpha scurried across the generators housing and fired at two remaining welds. The generator fell and was left hanging by only a few heavy gauge cables. Project Alpha crawled down to the end of the generator housing and hung by his paws. He pulled himself up and jerked the housing down. Some of the cables snapped. He looked back at everyone. Jumba and stitch both ran out the door leaving Shauni. He smiled at her, leg go with one paw holding his pistol and lazily saluted her. Shauni's eye's filled with tears as he brought the pistol up and fired at the last remaining set of cables. The whole generator housing came crashing down into the explosion proof container along with Project alpha.

"NO!" Stitch came back into the room and grabbed Shauni slinging her over his shoulder. Shaun slammed her tiny fists on his back as she watched four mechanical arms come down from the ceiling and drill the housing into the floor.
