The Beginning of the End

By: Kioko the pirate

Chapter 2: Kidnapped

As Bonnie, Clyde and Hashi make their way towards Lilo and Stitch's house; Kioko and Stitch were locked in a challenge of raw strength. The kids, Lilo and Angel all stood around as they watched the two of them arm wrestle. The kids were cheering them on while Lilo and Angel both sighed from the stupidity.

"You're never going to win Stitch." Said Kioko through clenched teeth.

"I beg to differ." Replies Stitch as he adds a little more strength to the challenge.

The two powerful beings stare down each other as they desperately try to slam the others hand down. The two of them exchange growls as they push onward.

"Come on dad, you can beat him!" yells Oki as he leaps up and down excitedly.

"Yeah, slam uncle Kioko's hand down!" yells Ashley as she to hops up and down.

Kina gives a huff as he folds his arms across his chest. "There's no way that Dad can beat uncle Kioko."

Oki and Ashley stop and look at their brother. "Oh come on, no one can beat Dad." Says Oki.

Kina gets in his brothers face. "No one except uncle Kioko."

Ashley grabs both of them in a headlock from behind. "Both of you be quiet, I'm trying to watch." Growls Ashley.

The kids all look back at the two combatants, Kioko was starting to move Stitch's paw towards the table. Stitch throws his body weight in the opposite direction, trying to reverse the motion. But it was too little too late as Kioko slams Stitch's paw down on the table. Kioko raises his hands in victory and Kina blows a raspberry at his siblings. Stitch rests his cheek on his paw and mumbles as he watches Kioko celebrate. Both Lilo and Angel sigh and then look at each other.

"What is it with men and competition?" asked Lilo.

Angel shrugs. "I don't know, I think it has something to do with the lack of intelligence."

The two girls begin to laugh hysterically until they see two shadows standing over them. They both look up to see Kioko and Stitch standing over them with their arms folded across their chests.

"You know… for two men who are lacking in intelligence, we both have very good hearing." Said Kioko.

Lilo and Angel just smiled and shifted nervously in their seats. "Huh, we… we didn't mean that." Said Lilo as she clasped her hands together.

"Yeah we meant that other men have no intelligence. We didn't mean you guy's." said Angel.

Stitch and Kioko both sigh in disappointment. "Well we're glad that you two see us as different from other men… but I'm afraid you still have to be punished." Said Stitch as he looked between the two girls.

"And what would that be?" asked Lilo as she prepared herself to run.

Kioko and Stitch look at each other with evil smirks on their faces. Suddenly, from out of no where Stitch and Kioko pull out massive squirt guns. Lilo and Angel both scream and bolt out of the house, with Kioko and Stitch close behind. The kids all watched from the doorway as their aunt and mother were soaked by their uncle and father. Stitch of course went after Angel and Kioko pursued Lilo. After about 5 minutes the girls were soaked and Kioko and Stitch were laughing hysterically.

"You guys are cruel!" yells Lilo as she wrings out her hair.

Kioko manages to catch his breath and looks at Lilo. "You girls are just too easy, we can surprise you almost any time we wanted." Said Kioko with a laugh.

Angel walks up next to Lilo, her fur was dripping wet. "Oh, you guys are going to get it." Angel shakes the water off like a dog, her fur immediately fluffs up. Turning her into a giant pink ball of fluff. "Don't say a word." Growls Angel as she glares at Stitch who was still laughing.

The kids were also laughing at the sight of their mother. "Hey mom, you should keep that look!" yells Oki as his siblings laughed.

"Don't you have a room to clean?" said Angel accusingly as she wiped her fur down.

The three kids moaned and headed for their room, which they proceeded to clean with out whining. The day passed by uneventfully, everyone sat down and had a nice relaxing dinner. But as they all went into the living room to watch a little T.V., Bonnie, Clyde and Hashi converged on the house. Bonnie and Clyde started to formulate a plan, while Hashi stood a few feet away staring at the house.

"Ok, you understand the plan?" asked Bonnie as she looked up at her partner.

"Got it bonnie."

Bonnie puts the blueprints back in the car (which of course they had stolen) and then looked over at Hashi.

"Hey, comes over here so that I can tells you the plan." Commands Bonnie.

Hashi looks over his shoulder at her, his glare made her feel very nervous. He seemed like the kind of person to kill you at the drop of a hat. "You just do your job and I'll do mine." Said Hashi in a cold voice.

Bonnie gulped nervously and turned back to Clyde. "Ok, you's got the gun?"

"Got it Bonnie."

"Alright… lets move."

Bonnie and Clyde slowly made their way towards the house while Hashi walked off into the woods, his own plan brewing in his head. As the two thieves set their trap, Angel walked back into the living room after tucking the kids in for the night. She stretched and gave a tired yawn as she walked over to Stitch who was sitting on the couch next to Lilo.

"Well, the kids are in bed so I'm going to go to bed myself."

"You're going to bed, but it's only 9:00. You usually don't go to bed until around 11:00?" said Stitch.

"I know, but for some reason I'm just really worn out. Good night." Said Angel as she gave Stitch a small kiss on the nose.

"Goodnight, Hun." Replied Stitch as he gave her a small kiss on the cheek.

Angel turns and heads for the stairs. "Goodnight Angel." Yells Kioko.

"Goodnight Kioko." Says Angel as she heads up the steps.

She reached the top of the stairs and headed for the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and headed for the bedroom. She reached the door and opened it; the room was dark except for the moonlight shining in through the windows. She started towards the bed but as she pulled back the soft sheets a small noise caught her sensitive ears. She slowly turned towards the darkest corner of the room; she wished she had Stitch's night vision as she stared into the darkness.

"Now Clyde!" yells a voice from the darkness.

Suddenly Angel sees a net flying towards her, she try's to dodge it by leaping to the side. But it hits her, wrapping her from the neck down.

"Stitch help!" yells Angel as Clyde runs over and shoves her the rest of the way in the bag.

Down in the living room everyone leaps to their feet. "Angel?" says Stitch as he rushes towards the steps with everyone right behind.

Stitch and Kioko were the first to reach the room, they burst into the room. Nothing seemed different except that the window was open. The two men stood there looking around the room for only a few seconds before they heard the sound of car doors opening. Stitch runs over to the window and looks out down towards the road. He sees Bonnie and Clyde throwing the bag which he presumed held Angel into a black car.

"Angel!" cried Stitch as he leapt out the window.

He landed with a thud and quickly stood up; he looked down towards the car with his teeth clenched. Bonnie slammed the door and looked up towards Stitch with a evil smirk.

"Come on blue, come and saves your precious girl." Taunted Bonnie.

Stitch clenched his fists and sprinted towards the car, he could only think of saving Angel. 'Why, why would Bonnie and Clyde take Angel? How'd they get out of prison? It doesn't matter; I just have to get to her.' Thought Stitch as he speed towards the car.

He was only a few yards away when suddenly a man appears out of nowhere in front of him. Stitch skids to a halt in front of the man, Stitch stared up at the man and his eyes caught the mans eyes. Something looked familiar about them; they looked a little like Kioko's. Stitch was so distracted by the mans eyes that he did not see the man raise his hand towards him.

A swirling vortex of red energy appeared in front of his hand, it formed into a red orb slightly bigger then a basketball. The orb blasted towards Stitch with amazing speed, but unbeknown to Hashi, Kioko was watching from the window.

"No, Stitch!" yells Kioko through clenched teeth.

He leaps out of the window and speeds towards Stitch; he realizes he wasn't going to make it by running so he leaps up and disappears into thin air. (Like in Dragon Ball Z). Stitch watched as the glowing red orb speed towards him, the light burnt his eyes and he could feel the heat of the energy growing. But suddenly everything darkened as Kioko appeared in front of him, the ball of energy slams into Kioko's gut, but he manages to catch it like a football.

Kioko clenched his teeth as he strained against the blast as Hashi looked on in amazement. Hashi gave a small smirk as he turned and headed for the car. Kioko was still straining against the orb of energy; it had been a long time since he had done this last. He looked back over his shoulder at Stitch, who was just standing there looking scared.

"Stitch move!" moaned Kioko as the orb of energy began to move him backwards.

Stitch nodded and leapt aside, Kioko dug his fingers into the orb and fell backwards. He flings the orb towards the nearby cliffs, the blast slams into the cliff face, sending a school bus sized chunk of rock crashing down. Stitch ran over to Kioko who was lying on the ground, the blast had burned away the front of his coat and some of his flesh. Kioko had his teeth clenched in pain but he managed to get a few words out.

"Never mind me, just go get Angel."

As Stitch turns and runs towards the garage Lilo and the rest of the family appears in the window. Lilo looks between Kioko, who was lying on the ground and Stitch who was sprinting towards the garage. She immediately jumps out of the window, even though it was almost two stories up. She landed pretty hard but after a moment she got to her feet and ran over to Stitch.

Stitch didn't bother going to the buggy, he merely leapt into Kioko's lotus. He finished hotwiring it just as Lilo ran up and hopped in the passengers' seat. Stitch glanced over at her curiously.

"What are you doing?" asked Stitch as he looked at Lilo.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm coming with you to get Angel back." Said Lilo with a determined tone in her voice.

"But Lilo, you saw what that one guy can do. This could be dangerous; I don't want to loose both you and Angel."

Lilo gave him a sly smirk. "So what? Me and you have faced dangerous people before. Now let's go!"

Stitch just sighed, he knew that she could get hurt but there was no way that he was going to change her mind. Stitch threw the car into reverse and quickly spun it around to face the road. Bonnie and Clyde had already reached the end of the drive and were speeding around the corner. Stitch slammed his foot down on the pedal and the black sports car speed down towards the street.

They drifted around the corner and quickly got Bonnie and Clyde in their sights. The smaller and faster sports car quickly got along side the thieves black car; the two cars collide as Bonnie slams into Stitch. The small sports car swerves quickly to avoid a collision with a car parked in the street.

"Ramming them won't work Stitch! Their car is much heavier then ours." Said Lilo as her hair blew in the wind.

Stitch gave a small smirk as he slowed down and got behind the car. "They may be heavier weight wise…" Stitch presses a button on the dashboard, a second later two screen s fold out from the dash and a HUD appears in the windshield. "…but their car is not as heavily armed as this one."

"But Angel's in there!"

"Don't worry; I'm not aiming for the car's body. I'm aiming for its tires."

Stitch presses a button on the steering wheel, causing the door panels to fold back. Revealing four small rockets. Each one had a glowing blue warhead and a brown body, with four fins at the end. Stitch slows down a little more and then looks through the HUD, the targeting reticule showed that he was on target.

'This is risky, I need to take out their back tire but I hope I don't ignite the fuel tank.' Thought Stitch as he dropped back a few more yards. 'Come on Stitch, it's now or never. I have to save Angel!'

With that final thought Stitch pressed the button once again, the first missile sprung to life as it shot away from the car and towards Bonnie and Clyde. The missile streaked towards the car, leaving a trail of glowing blue gas in the air. But right as it neared its target the black car swerves out of the way, the missile fly's off the road and slams into a police car that was parked at the doughnut shop. The police car erupted in a massive blue and red fireball.

The police officer rushes out of the store to find his car a burning hunk of metal. His jaw drops at the sight; he slaps himself in the face and groaned.

"Aw man, how am I going to explain this back at the station?"

The man hunches over and shuffles away; meanwhile the two speeding cars rush past. Stitch growls in frustration as he lines up another shot, he presses the button and the next rocket launches towards the car. The missile neared the cars rear bumper, but once again the car swerves to the side causing the missile to slam into the road. Without slowing down Lilo and Stitch drive right through the erupting fireball.

"Stitch, I don't think those missiles are working." Said Lilo as she looked over at Stitch.

Stitch gave a growl as he turned off the rockets, the sliding panels slid back over the missiles and the car once again looked rather normal. "I know Lilo, but those aren't the only armaments on this baby." Said Stitch as he pressed another button.

The back of the car opens up revealing a small gatling gun, Stitch locks onto the car and presses the button on the steering wheel. The barrels of the gun begin to spin with a loud whirring sound, there was a flash as the gun began to spew out bolts of blue energy. They hit the ground all around Bonnie and Clyde's car, kicking up small clouds of dust. But it seemed as though none of the shots came even close to hitting the tires, which got Stitch very irritated.

'Why can't I hit them? How is it that they keep avoiding all of these attacks?' thought Stitch as his eyes narrowed with determination.

After minutes of zooming through the empty streets with the gatling gun blazing, Stitch finally turned it off and growled in anger. But suddenly Bonnie and Clyde swerved off the main road and onto a small unpaved trail. Lilo and Stitch barley make the turn and end up caught in the cloud of dust kicked up by Bonnie and Clyde's car. Stitch flipped on the headlights as he and Lilo drove down the dusty path, meanwhile back at the house Kioko had made it to his feet.

He was hunched over in pain and held his hand on his bleeding wound. He looked down the driveway any growled. "That guy's real strong… I haven't taken a hit like that in hundreds of years. I've grown unfamiliar with the pain, how stupid of me." Said Kioko as he breathed heavily.

Nani came running up to the wounded pirate. "Kioko are you all right?"

"I'm fine, I've had worse injuries before." Said Kioko as he stood up and removed his hand. "I have to go help them."

Nani looked at his bleeding wound and quickly grabbed his shoulder. "You can't go and help them! You're too badly hurt!" growled Nani.

Kioko grabs onto her wrist and squeezes it until she let go, he gives her a cold glare. "You can't tell me what to do, I'm not Lilo." Kioko rushes towards the garage and quickly hops into the buggy and starts it up.

Nani looked down at her wrist as Kioko speed by her, his blood covered her wrist. It seemed different though, it seemed to have a blackish hew to it, she looked up at the buggy as it speeds around the corner.

"What's up with him?" asked Nani to herself.

Back with Lilo and Stitch the cars had entered a large clearing, Lilo and Stitch gazed at the large ship that was parked in the center of the clearing. The back of the ship lowered making a ramp, with the sound of screeching tires Bonnie and Clyde drove up into it. Stitch stepped on the gas as he tried to get to the ship before it closed. But as he got close to the ramp a small turret dropped down from the ship, it fired two green bolts of energy towards the lotus.

The bolts of energy hit the front left tire of the car; an explosion flips the sports car and sends it sliding along the ground. Luckily the two occupants had been wearing their seatbelts; Stitch looks over at Lilo as he tried to catch his breath.

"Lilo, are you alright?"

Lilo looked over at him with a small smile. "I'm fine Stitch."

"Here I'll get you out." Said Stitch as he reached over and slashed her seatbelt.

He unbuckled and carefully carried Lilo away from the wreck. "Stitch don't worry about me, just go get that ship." Moaned Lilo as Stitch gentle laid her down on the ground.

Stitch nods and turns towards the ship, he clenches his fists and sprints towards the ship. But as Stitch passed the wrecked Lotus, two more bolts of energy blast from the turret and slam into the car, the car explodes in a giant fireball. Stitch is sent flying through the air, he slams into a nearby tree and is knocked unconscious. The ground began to shake as the ship lifted off the ground; Lilo had never felt so helpless as she watched the ship disappear into the clouds.

As she sat up she wondered if she even deserved to have Stitch as a friend. 'He's helped me countless times in the past, but I can't even help him a little. I'm useless to him…' Lilo looks over at Stitch's unconscious body. 'He'll probably say that it's my fault that they got away. If I hadn't been here to slow him down… he might have been able to save her.'

"Don't you dare think those thoughts." Lilo whipped around to see Kioko walking towards her; the buggy was parked a few feet behind him.

'Did he read my mind?' thought Lilo as she looked at him.

"I can tell by that look on your face that you are considering your friendship with Stitch." Said Kioko as he kneeled down next to her.

"Am I really that easy to read?" asked Lilo as Kioko helped her to her feet.

"Well lets just say that I've been around you and Stitch enough to be able to understand how you think about each other." Kioko said that last part in a way to imply a hidden meaning.

"Oh come on, that's just wrong." Growled Lilo.

"I'm just saying that you have nothing to worry about, Stitch won't be mad at you. He'll be happy that you care enough about him to try and help him when he needs it." Kioko places Lilo in the passengers' side seat and then runs over to check on Stitch.

"He's right, I at least have to try and help Stitch… even if I can't." said Lilo as she watched Kioko check Stitch.

Kioko walks back over to the buggy and places the still unconscious Stitch in Lilo's lap. "He'll be fine, but now we must get back to the house. Time is against us, we must hurry if we want to save Angel." Said Kioko as he started the buggy.

"Right, let's go!" said Lilo.

They drive off down the dirt road and back towards the house. As they swerved back onto the street no one noticed Kioko bare his teeth and tighten his grip on the wheel.

'Who ever it was that took Angel, will regret ever laying their filthy hands on her. I will destroy them... that much is certain."

Well that's the end of this chapter, the next one will be up as soon as possible. But for all of you who aren't familiar with military lingo, HUD stands for Heads up Display. It shows a variety of data and is usually found in fighter aircraft. Well, later.
