Chapter 14

Traitor

625 was awoken in 5:03 in the morning, by Jumba. 625 had to check everything in the ship, to make sure nothing was out of place. Jumba had to make sure that 625 wasn't slacking off.

'' Collar with camera inside?'', Jumba asked.

'' Check'', 625 said.

'' Did you eat breakfast?''

'' Yes.''

'' Okay then. Everything is ready.''

625's eyes were glowing green again,'' Grr...''.

'' No attacking me!'', Jumba screamed.

'' Oh grow up Jumba'', Hamsterveil shouted,'' Do you want to wake up the whole entire neighborhood.''

'' With his voice that loud, he will wake the whole island up... and cause an earthquake at the same time'', 625 remarked.

Jumba glared at 625, who was sneering at him like the last time.

Hamsterveil sat down on the seat ,'' So 625's glitch is in complete control of him?''

'' Yes it has. He hasn't gone back to normal yet, so it's possible'', Jumba said.

'' Good. Now 625...''.

'' Hmm?'', 625 asked.

'' I need you to lure Gantu and Marie back here. We'll know what to do with them.''

'' Okay, Hamsterwheel.''

'' It's Hamsterveil! Veil! Like the meat!''

'' Close enough.''

'' Just get them in here.''

625 sat down on the floor.

'' Well, what are you waiting for?''

'' The electric collar... I still have it on.''

'' Jumba... the collar. Take it off.''

Jumba took off the electric collar.

'' Okay. 625, When you get Gantu and Marie, try not to do any unusual things. No destroying, until you get here. Is that clear?''

'' Ih!''

'' Good, another thing, behave as you normally would while you are over there, got it?''

'' Ih!''

'' Wait! Before you go, if anybody asks about your eyes just make up an excuse. Do the same thing with your disappearance. Lie to them.''

'' Ih! Got it.''

'' Okay, go.''

625 left Jumba's ship and walked off into the still dark sky. He could see that the sun was rising into the sky. He had to go on his mission, and quick. He walked through the streets, looking at the objects that weren't destroyed.

He remembered that he wasn't supposed to destroy anything until after his mission was completed. He walked as fast as his little feet could carry him. As soon as he knew it, he was in front of Marie's house.

He stood in front of the house and scratched at the door, yipping at the door, wanting to enter,'' Bark, bark.''

Marie was awake, and was about to eat breakfast, until she heard the scratching and yipping,'' 625?''

Peg was curious too. She followed Marie out to the front porch. 625 stood out there, without saying anything.

'' 625? 625! You're back! Where were you? You had us worried sick!'', Marie screamed.

She hugged 625, who hated the hugging now, but he had to allow it, since it would blow the whole entire mission.

It was Peg's turn to greet 625,'' Where were you?''

625 cleared his throat,'' Nowhere. I just got lost after I was chasing... a... cat. Yeah, a cat.''

Marie and Peg failed to notice 625's neon green eyes. They let him enter the house. 625 was growing rather impatient. He wanted to destroy something, as the darkness in his heart was getting the better of him.

'' Are you hungry, 625?'', Peg asked,'' You've been gone for a night.''

'' No. I'm not hungry. I ate a big breakfast. Jumba took care of me while I was lost. He found me and took care of me. Speaking of which, Marie why don't you go to Lilo's house and thank Jumba?''

'' 625, we'll go there later. Let me eat breakfast first. Uncle Gantu would take us later.''

625 snorted. He had an urge to destroy anything now. He had to take it out on something. He went to Marie's bedroom, and since it was his bedroom too, he looked at a squeak toy he had on the floor.

He picked it up and tried to open it to destroy it. He saw the squeaker pop out of the toy and he swallowed it, not caring if it'll give him an upset stomach later on.

He growled as he chewed on the remaining pieces of his now gone squeaky toy. Marie could hear 625's growling from upstairs,'' 625? What are you up to this time?''

'' Huh?'', 625 replied, as he hid the squeak toy under the bed,'' Uh, nothing Marie. Want me to come downstairs?''

'' Yes. Were going to Lilo's house to thank Jumba.''

625 had a gleam in his eye, as he smiled maliciously,'' I'm coming.''

He walked downstairs and looked at Marie.

Marie glared at him,'' Are you okay? You're acting a little... odd today.''

'' I'm fine'', 625 said, a little nervously, as sweat slid down his forehead.

'' Okay?''

Marie stepped outside with 625 by her side. Gantu was waiting for them. He could see 625, but his eyes were green. Gantu kept that to himself, as he let Marie and 625 climb up to his shoulders. Gantu kept his eye on 625, who was a little nervous at Gantu looking at him.

'' May I help you?'', 625 asked.

'' Nothing. Where've you been anyway?''

'' Hmm, around.''

'' Where?''

'' Earth. That's where.''

'' Great, a wisecrack comment.''

Marie giggled. She was a silent witness to Gantu's and 625's conversation, although she couldn't help but wonder why 625 won't talk about his strange disappearance. 625 wasn't even giving them a clue to where he's been, except he was on Earth.

They were at Lilo's house. 625 jumped off of Gantu's shoulder and lead them to the back of the house, where Jumba's ship was parked.

'' Jumba's here'', 625 said,'' He's been expecting you.''

'' Expecting me?'', Marie asked.

'' And Gantu too.''

'' Me?'', Gantu said.

Gantu had a feeling 625 was up to something. He could still see that 625's eyes were a neon green. He felt that he couldn't trust 625,'' Marie come back here.''

'' Come on Gantu. Jumba wants to see you'', 625 a little too calmly.

'' I'm not sure.''

625 had to do the cutest thing that Gantu couldn't resist. He widened his eyes and let his tiny ears droop down, as he purred while rubbing his cheek against Gantu's foot. Even if his eyes were green, that was still the cutest thing Gantu couldn't say no to.

'' That always works on me. Oh, fine but Marie, stick by me'', Gantu said.

'' Okay gantu'', Marie smiled.

625 knocked on the ship's door,'' Oh Jumba.''

'' Come in 625'', Jumba called from the inside.

625, Marie, and Gantu entered the ship to find Jumba smiling at them.

'' Welcome'', Jumba said.

'' Thank you for taking care of 625 and finding him when he got lost'', Marie said.

'' Anytime other little girl. Eh, can you walk into this room please? We can, as you call chat.''

'' Okay?''

625 was revealing his secondary pair of arms while Gantu and Marie had their backs turned to enter the room. Gantu could see two containment pods, one of them was large enough for him!

'' 625 attack!'', Jumba commanded.

625 lifted Gantu up easily and threw gantu into the containment pod, and put the cover on it. It was Marie's turn to be captured.

'' 625? What are you doing?'', Marie screamed. 625 lifted her up and threw her into the containment pod and the door was slammed shut. marie struggled to open the pod but failed.

Hamsterveil showed up,'' Finally I've seen that 625's evil behavior has improved!''

'' Hamsterveil!'', Marie and Gantu said together, at the same time.

Hamsterveil was patting 625's head,'' Good work 625!''

625 purred and then walked beside Hamsterveil, while he approached the pods that Gantu and Marie were confined in.

'' Finally I get my revenge!'', Hamsterveil laughed.

625 growled.

'' 625? Why are you dong this?'', Marie asked.

'' This is exactly what 625 was programmed for, destruction. We just did a few things to make him like this'', Hamsterveil said, as he faced 625,'' Isn't that right?''

625 purred again,'' Ih!''

Jumba approached them, as 625 growled at him,'' Easy 625!''

'' Remember... 625's still holding a grudge against you'', Hamsterveil said.

625 curled his right hand into a fist,'' Want I should get rid of him?''

'' Not now, 625''.

625 obeyed. He stood by the door of the room, watching Marie.

'' What did you do to 625?'', Marie shouted, demandingly.

'' We infected him with a glitch, not really a big deal actually'', Jumba said, casually.

'' You what!'', Gantu had to shout.

'' Infected 625 with a glitch, and with it we will rule the whole world!'', Hamsterveil laughed.

Jumba remembered something about 625's glitch that he had to tell Hamsterveil,'' Hamsterveil I just remembered...''.

'' Save it Jumba. Also 625 will be evil from now on! He will use force if you try to escape''.

625 growled.

'' Look what's that glitch done to you 625. you've turned into a monster!'', Marie said, as she let tears flow down her face.

625 snorted, as if he could care less. Jumba and Hamsterveil left the room, along with 625, who looked back at Marie and Gantu and snorted once again, still not even caring. Darkness still in his heart and in his thoughts.
