Jumba ran down the hall towards the docking bay. "Quickly! Hamsterviel has prepped ship for take off. Is best we use it to escape." Stitch followed behind him carrying Shauni over his shoulder, who was beating her tiny paws on his back. Jumba stumbled over to the airlock and punched in the access code.
The computer warning voice echoed through the lab again. "Fusion generator overload in five minutes."
The airlock pressurized and opened revealing Jumba's ship docked in the bay being fueled and filled with supplies. "Should have known. Hamsterveil would have definitely have stolen my ship. Though he would not get far. Is missing hyper drive."
Stitch ran up the cargo ramp into the passenger compartment and struggled to tie Shauni to the seat with the seatbelts. Shauni kept clawing at him begging to be let go.
Jumba ran around to the side of the ship and unhooked the fuel line from the underside of the wing spilling ubernium on to the floor. A light on the nozzle began to blink red and the tip of the nozzle quickly shut stopping the flow of the wasted fuel. Jumba quickly waddled up the loading ramp slamming his massive fist on the close ramp button. Jumba ran up to the cockpit and started the ships engines and retracted the landing gear.
He then grabbed the throttle and set it to full speed. The engines let out an enormous burst of energy sending Stitch flying over the passenger seats and flat against the back of the ship. Jumba's ship came screaming out of the docking bay. "Be holding on to your patooki." Jumba dropped the throttle sending Stitch flying across the passenger seats and into the cockpit against the windshield. Stitch slipped of the windshield with a moan into the copilot seat.
Shauni struggled with her seat but and looked out the window at the lab. An enormous explosion went off sending bits and pieces of the lower part of the lab off into the void of space. Jumba squinted his eyes at the lab. "Come… we must go." Jumba input a few coordinates into the ships navigational systems and put it into autopilot.
Jumba's ship landed just near Lilo's house with everyone waiting outside ready to welcome back Jumba, including Cobra Bubbles and The Grand Council Woman. The loading bay slowly lowered and stopped with a thud as it released steam from its pneumatic systems. Stitch walked down the ramp greeted by Angel who was relived hat he came back in one piece. Jumba waddled down the ramp avoiding the two experiments and was greeted by Cobra Bubbles and The Grand Council Woman. "Well? I assume everything turned out ok?"
Jumba nodded at The Grand Council Woman. "There were a few bumps but ah…" Jumba looked around at everyone looking at him and then back at the ship. "Would it being fine to be talking else where?" The Grand Council Woman nodded and the three of them headed towards Lilo's house.
Angel stopped hugging Stitch for a minute and looked at him. "What happened?"
Stitch looked down at the ground silently for a moment. "Kyle… he's… he saved us by sacrificing himself."
"What?"
One of Stitch's ear's moved to face the rear of his head. He heard sniffling. "Shaunis really sad about it…"
Angel looked over his shoulder into the ship. "Should I go check on her?" Stitch shrugged his shoulders. Angel let go of him and slowly walked into the ship.
Shauni was curled up on one of the passenger seats. "Shauni?"
Shauni sniffed a few times and sat up wiping her face. The fur below her eyes had been matted down with tears. "Leave me alone."
Angel hopped up on the chair next to her and sat down putting a hand on Shauni's shoulder. "Come inside. We can talk about this…"
"NO!" Shauni jumped out of the seat and ran out of the ship past stitch crying.
Stitch started towards her but was stopped by a pink paw on his shoulder. "Let her go. She just wants to be alone."
Shauni wandered aimlessly trough trees and undergrowth wiping the tears from her face and stumbling over plant life. The sky grew dark and rain began to fall down, damping what fur that hadn't already been by her tears. Soon it was to dark for her to see and she wished that she had night vision or that someone had bothered to show her how to use it. All she could do was listening. Listening to the sound of the rain fall. Shauni slowly cocked her head. Something metallic nearby was being hit by the rain.
Shauni looked around and could make out the outline of a large object. She walked towards it and felt around sniffling wiping her nose on her arm. It was a van, Kyle's van. Shauni crawled into the still open driver's door and closed it.
Shauni crept past the peddle cluster and round the engine shroud towards the back of the van. His mattress was still laid out on the floor. Shauni opened one of his unlocked lockers and pulled out a towel and dried herself off not bothering to smooth out her ruffled fur. Shauni threw the towel away landing on something making a crumpling sound. She looked at it. It had landed on the milk crate filled with letters. Shauni ran up to the front of the van and partial turned the ignition, turning the dome light on, and ran back to the crate. Shauni reached down and picked up a letter. it was the one she had been reading before Kyle and her were captured.
Dear dad
I know what you did and I know that it was wrong to do to the family as a whole. But me personally. I don't care what you do. Your job to me as a father was to raise me, give me a sense of morals, and teach me the difference between right and wrong. What you do after that I don't care. It's your life. You choose how to live it. I won't think of you any differently.
Shauni stared blankly and thought of what she said to him, to make him remember who he was. "Remember what your father taught you… The difference between right and wrong."
Shauni clenched the letter in her tiny pawS and cried herself to sleep.
Well that's all folks… least until the new movie comes out… don't worry… as the immortal Arnold Swartsenager (dunno how to spell his name and don't care) said: I'LL BE BACK! And I have already begun the planning stages of the new stories…. THE TRILOGY SHALL CONTINUE!
