Chapter 8

Myrtle's Nightmare

Location: Girl's sleeping room.

Lilo, Myrtle, Yuki, Teresa, Elena, and Angel were preparing to go to bed. The next day would be a difficult day indeed, because they would enter the real war zone, so a good nights sleep was in order.

Good night, everybody. Myrtle says as she takes off her glasses and lies down.

Good night. The other girls responded.

Man, I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow? Myrtle thought as she dosed off.

Just as she started to dream her psychic powers started to kick in again.

(Beginning of dream)

Alright everybody! Myrtle heard Lilo call over the arwings comlink. We'd better split up and take out the bridges of those spaceship carriers. That's the only way we will be able to stop them.

Myrtle finds herself in her arwing in the middle of a battle over the planet Earth. There are about 15 spaceship carriers. The ships themselves had the forms of trapezoids and on top of each ship there was a somewhat small rectangular section that was supposed to be the bridge of the ship.

Okay, I'll go take out this one. Myrtle responded to Lilo's command.

Myrtle goes and destroys the carrier she targeted, but just as she goes to take out another one a strange feeling hits her. It's an eerie feeling, like something is not right.

Lilo, where's Lilo? Myrtle thought to herself.

She then turns her ship around to see that Lilo is attacking one of the carriers, but this ship, unlike the others, raises a protective barrier just as Lilo gets close enough to blast the bridge. This takes Lilo by surprise and she slams into the barrier at full force. Her arwing's wings break off, her shields are completely down, Lilo is knocked unconscious, basically her ship is dead in space.

Oh no! Lilo! Myrtle thought.

That wasn't the end of the disaster. Just after this happened the carrier locked weapons on Lilo's ship and fired a barrage of missile and laser fire. Myrtle watched in horror as the deadly weapons hit Lilo's ship and made it explode in a great blinding white flash, engulfing Myrtle in the process.

Lilo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Myrtle shrieked at an earsplitting level. Then she feels something or someone shaking her.

Myrtle! Myrtle! MYRTLE, WAKE UP! A voice was calling to her.

(Nightmare end)

Myrtle immediately recognized the voice that was calling her. She opened her eyes and, although blurry, was able to notice that it was Lilo shaking her. When she discovers this, she hugs Lilo in a tight embrace while crying over her shoulder uncontrollably due to the pure terror she witnessed in what seemed to be a nightmare.

Myrtle! What Happened! Lilo asked trying to calm her down.

It was horrible… Myrtle said over her intense sobbing. War on Earth… we fighting in space… you crash against ship… your ship destroyed… you dead… This is all she could say before she broke down into another phase of uncontrollable crying. While she cried she clung onto Lilo like a scared child looking to its mother for protection.

Thirty minutes later:

Myrtle's shriek attracted the attention of the whole spaceship. Lilo, Angel, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena finally managed to calm Myrtle down. They are now in the infirmary. Myrtle is receiving a brain scan to see what caused her to have such a horrible dream.

So you actually dreamed that Lilo was killed in tomorrow's battle? Keoni asked.

Yeah, I don't know why. Myrtle answered. It seemed so real.

That's horrible. Stitch remarked.

Horrible, yes… Peppy said while working with the brain scanner. …But pure coincidence, almost zero possibility.

What makes you say that Peppy? Fox asks.

In this scan I'm reading a high level of psychic activity. Peppy explains. In other words, her dream was actually a vision.

You mean it can really happen? Myrtle asked with fear in her voice.

It's possible. Peppy responds. However, now that we know about this, we can try to prevent this from happening.

How do we do that? Lilo asked.

Myrtle should back you up through the whole battle. Peppy says with hope in his voice. Since she knows where it happened she should be able to stop it from happening.

Good idea Peppy, Myrtle congratulated. But I'll need one of your prototype concussion smart bombs.

Impossible! Peppy objected. There untested! It's too risky.

Listen Peppy; you got to trust me. Myrtle pleaded. I have a feeling that if I don't have that smart bomb there is no way we'll be able to save Lilo from death. I think its one of my psychic feelings, I don't know, but for now it's the only clue I have to go on.

Peppy pondered for a few seconds while rubbing his chin, then he lets out a sigh. All right, Rob; equip Myrtle's arwing with the prototype concussion smart bomb.

But, that's untes… the robot started.

You have your orders! Peppy cuts him off. As for the rest of you, all of you can go back to sleep.

All the kids go back to their sleeping quarters. Lilo seemed slightly disturbed.

You a little scared about my vision? Myrtle asked.

Yeah, a little. Lilo answered.

Don't worry. Myrtle assured. Were going to get in this battle together and I'm going to make sure we get out together.

Thanks a lot Myrtle, for caring about me. Lilo said.

Hey, that's what you do in an ohana.

I couldn't have said it better myself, cousin. Lilo responded.
