DISCLAIMER: I do not own Lilo & Stitch in any way. I only own Experiment 000. VOID99 owns Experiment 555.

I'll be writing this chapter in third person, since this is not actually 000 living the event.

The first person I been using in the other chapters will come back in chapter 10.

CHAPTER NINE: REVELATION! MYSTERIOUS VOICE REVEALED

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Falling…falling…into darkness."

000 said to himself.

000 finds himself drifting in nothing, lost in a corner of his mind.

"I'm gonna die, that's all there is to it."

000 has gotten in a few flashbacks; most of them were about that blue experiment that looks like 000. But one of them showed that 000 was injected by 555's venom and dying a slow death.

000 closed his eyes again, but opened them when he heard a demonic chuckle. He looked around; he only saw darkness, nothing more.

These memories are connected…

"Huh?"

000 looked around again.

"Who said that?"

Tied to this experiment…Soon to be shattered and forgotten…

000 widened his eyes, he recognized that voice.

"It can't be…"

Seen you die is the most amusing thing I seen…

This was 000's change to find answers to his questions.

"I want answer! What did you mean by that last said when I fought 627?!"

You have more dangerous things to worry about…Like your own life.

"Stop hiding! Answer!"

Isn't it funny? You already saw me and you still don't know who I am…

000 was confused.

"You're not 627! What you're saying is a lie!"

Really? I'm not the one who had the answer right in front of my face.

"You…you been watching me all this time?"

Bingo. If you want the complete answer, beat this challenge I'll give you. Win and you'll get your answers…Lose and you'll lose more than your answers.

"Fine then."

000 glared.

"Bring it on."

…Idiot

Suddenly, 000 started feeling pain in his head again. He clinched to his head and screamed in agony.

* * * * *

Warning, Warning. Blood temperature dangerously rising. Death probability: 75%

Jumba quickly turned to the monitor, the situation isn't going to get any better. They'll going to lose 000 soon. 619, 520 and 624 were standing around the bed where 000 is lying. 555 was in a corner with his back resting against the wall.

"Looks like the vaccine isn't working. He's going to die."

Jumba announced.

624 started to cry silently, while 619 and 520 could only stare at 000, who's dying a slow death. 555 just laid his back against the wall, with his head bowed.

'Don't give up, 000.'

555 thought to himself.

* * * * *

000 is lying on the ground with his eyes closed. He managed to open his eyes and sit up.

"I must be out of my mind to trust him, who knows what he did to me."

000 talked to himself while rubbing his head.

He stood up and looked around. He's in a dark place, with a grassy path, dead flowers and rotten corpses.

000 sniffed the air, then covered his nose

"P.U, this place reeks, must be those corpses!"

You still don't have any idea what awaits you at the end of this path.

000 looked around. But other than darkness, dead flowers and rotten corpses, he couldn't see anything.

"Where am I?!"

000 shouted.

I transported you to my mind. Now the challenge can really begin.

000 looked around again,

"It's gonna take more than these things to destroy me!"

You still don't get it do you? You're out of your vessel's mind; you won't survive long out here.

000 gasped at that explanation.

Think you can find your answers in time?

"You bet I can!"

Good, cause you only have a few minutes.

000 has no time to lose. He ran, following the path made by grass. But he was followed by the demonic chuckle.

Hurry 000, your time is running out.

000 heard something coming from behind him. He turned his head and saw a giant Cerberus-like demon running toward him at the same speed as 000.

"WHOA!"

He saw the demon coming closer. 000 picked up more speed, but so did the dog-like demon.

'This isn't good; he's catching up real fast.'

000 thought,

'Looks like I have to destroy it.'

I like to see you try.

Whoever is talking to 000, he's reading his thoughts. 000 snapped his claws in agreement.

"Alright, time to show this guy who's the real winner here."

000 looked back, the demon was real close. The demon lunged its head to eat 000, but he jumped, making a back-flip. He grabbed the demon's head and hardened his grip. The demon stopped and tried to throw 000 of by throwing its head around, but 000 managed to stay on. 000 jumped up and curled up, forming a ball, he landed hard on the demon's head and penetrated it. 000 uncurled, covered in the demon's blood.

Not bad…You amuse me 000.

000 gets up, spitting and wiping blood off of himself.

"Remind me to do that to you when I meet you!"

000 shouted.

If you can survive.

000 looked up; his breathing is getting harshly, clinching to his chest where his heart beats.

"There's no way you're stopping me from finding the answer, no way!"

He said while shaking his fist, then pointed up,

"So learn to live with it chump!"

With that, he zoomed off to continue his path.

Don't think it'll be that easy…

* * * * *

Jumba has never experienced situations this deep before. 000's breathing is slowly stopping; his heart is slowly but surely stopping its beat. Pretty soon, 000 will die…If nothing good happens soon.

624 was still next to 000, clinching to his paw, hoping and praying he'll come to soon. But the chances of that are extremely low.

"Don't die…"

624 whispered,

"Just don't die…"

* * * * *

000 stopped when he reached the end of the path. A cliff, below was…the mountain of dead bodies, just like in 000's nightmare. 000 was struck by fear, slowly stepping back.

If you continue you'll be back at the starting point.

He's right. If 000 doesn't continue forward, he'll die and everything dies with him. But there's no way 000 can cross the cliff without going through the mountain first. But he won't dare, not after that nightmare where the corpses feasted on him.

"What should I do?"

000 asked in defeat.

"…Huh?"

000 looked up to see some sort of machinery…A torture machine. With axes, maces, and swords swinging around in circles, slicing everything that stands in their path. Those equipments were covered in blood, but it was 000's only way to get across without been eaten.

"Man, this guy has a sick mind."

000 said as he stared at the machinery

"Here goes nothing."

000 waited for the mace to get close, then he jumped and grabbed the rope, barely avoiding been hit by the mace. The mace got closer to the axe. 000 straighten out his arm, jumped and grabbed the rope suspending the axe.

"I got the sword to go."

000 gulped and looked down; the corpses looked up with their mouths wide open, just waiting for 000 to fall for the feast to begin.

000 glared forward, trying to concentrate on the other swing. The sword came close to jump, so he jumped to it and grabbed the rope. But when he grabbed it…

"Oh man!"

The rope broke, sending the sword and 000 falling toward the mountain of corpses. 000 managed to jump toward the cliff's edge and grab it. He looked down at the mountain being crushed by the giant sword, their blood pouring out like a river.

"Sorry guys!"

000 apologized to the bodies below.

He looked at the machine above to see it all coming down unto the bodies below.

"Nice machinery."

000 pulled himself up, stood up and continued down his path.

'The sooner I reach the end of this path, the better.'

000 thought while he continued down the path.

But things are becoming grimmer, 000 looked at the path to see it slowly changing from grass to a bloody route.

"Something tells me I'm reaching the end."

000 muttered to himself.

You do not yet know what lies beyond the path.

000 stopped,

"Can you make sense when you talk to me?"

 He did not answer. 000 shrugged and continue down the path, but with his time is running out.

* * * * *

Jumba and the others have given up hope, 000's heart is stopping momentarily, and his breathing has become severely weak.

624 is struggling with the situation, she has seen many deaths of other experiments, all of them have broken her heart. But this time it was different, it was like she was about to lose 626 again, she just feels that way…

But why?

That's a question she's been asking herself all day. Does she think 000 is a modified 626 revived? Does she feel a connection between 000 and 626? Only time will tell.

* * * * *

000 could feel his life force been slowly drained, soon he'll die if he doesn't hurry.

"I…I made it."

000 stopped at the end of the bloody path. At the end stands an altar. An altar used for torture, decapitation, skinning and burning. The floor around the altar was stained with blood.

"You truly are a sick person!"

000 shouted.

If you value your life then you must head up there.

"Well, I come this far…Guess I'll go all the way."

000 muttered.

He climbed the stairs, his feet stepping and getting stained with the scattered blood on the floor.

000 reached the top, the only thing on the altar was nothing more than a relic with a symbol. 000 picked it up and examined it, then it started to glow.

"What the?"

His mind painted a mental picture of someone. As soon as 000 saw that picture he screamed and threw the relic aside.

What's wrong? Was your answer horrifying?

000 clinched to his chest and began to breathe harshly, that person he saw was horrifying beyond reason.

However…That wasn't me…It was just a…past.

"If that…wasn't you…then…who are you?"

000 said in a breaking voice.

You have come this far…And still you haven't learned anything…

"Well…I learned you're not from this world…You're more like a demon…a torturer…"

000 couldn't finish the sentence, something is making him uneasy.

Think about it…

The voice left with a demonic laughter. 000 was down on his luck, he could die any minute, but he doesn't want to leave without an answer.

"Wait…"

000 said when he realized something.

He picked up the relic, thought about the symbol on it and began to think about his nightmares.

"That guy…the picture…A place of death and torture…"

000 grinned, he had it all figured out. He stood up, jumped on top of the altar, placed his hand next to his mouth and shouted…

"621! I figured it out!!!"
000 continued,

"All of this points to you!!!"

"It would've been difficult to find out! But when I saw that picture of you on Jumba's computer, and that shadowy figure in my nightmare, everything came together!!!"

000 paused, then continued,

"The height size matches, and my nightmares and this place are the same! I found you out, now come out and face me like an experiment!!!"

The reply was a demonic chuckle, 000 looked around but still he wasn't showing himself.

On the contrary 000, I never was in your nightmare. Sure it looks like me…But are you sure?

000 was puzzled by that. But still, he's determine his answer was sure.

You're answer is correct, I am 621…But not all of this is my work.

000 turned to see a shadowy figure standing. A shadow was covering his whole body; there was no way to see his face or his body's form.

"Now, I won your challenge! Now, take me back to my own mind! This place is a sanctuary to psycho people like you!"
000 shouted.

Sure, I can send you back to your mind…But at one price.

"What kind of price?"

000 asked.

A simple one…I'll reveal it another time, but you have to accept it here and now.

"So you're saying…I have to accept without knowing what it is? Just to return to my mind?"

If you refuse, you'll stay here forever and become my torture toy.

000 was stuck in a corner, there was no other way to get back to his mind without his help…He could only say one thing…

"I…yes…"

000 said, defeated.

The shadowy figure chuckled demonically, then laughed out loud. 000 has his head bowed down; he could only hear the evil creature laugh as he was slowly beginning to lose consciousness, a side-effect meaning he's been transported to his own mind.

"I…I lost…"

000 said before he lost consciousness.

TO BE CONTINUE…
