Chapter 3: A Windy Day!
It was a bright and shining morning; there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Angel slowly began to open her tired eyes as the smell of eggs and bacon filled her nostrils. Everything came into focus as she sat up with a tired yawn. She hopped down from the couch and stretched on all fours, she then stood up and took a deep breathe. Taking in the fresh smell of the morning, she walked into the kitchen to find Lilo and Stitch making breakfast.
Lilo was cooking bacon and Stitch was working on some scrambled eggs. Stitch heard Angel walk in and he turned towards her. "Good morning Angel, did you sleep well?"
Angel nodded. "I sure did. I hope we didn't bother you Lilo, with us coming in so late." Said Angel as she looked at the girl.
Lilo just gave a small laugh as she placed the bacon on a plate. "Don't worry about it Angel, at least you got back. I was worried that you two would run into an experiment and get hurt."
Stitch gave a snort. "Now Lilo you know that if we ran into trouble I could handle it." Said Stitch in a confident tone.
"Uh huh, sure. Well come on lets eat, before the picnic we'll spend some time looking for Angel's partner." Said Lilo as she sat down at the table.
Stitch and Angel nodded and sat down at the table, they all ate quickly and soon headed into town. They decided that they would look in the places that Angel and her partner frequently visited. They were now walking down the main street of town, heading for the first place on Angel's list. They came to a gym and they walked in, it was a large building with hundreds of different machines.
"You guys wait here, I'll go look around and see if he's here." Said Angel as she ran off into the jungle of weights and machinery.
Stitch and Lilo stood there for a minute or two before either of them said anything. "She seems anxious to see her partner again, she must really miss him." Said Stitch as he watched intently for Angel to show herself again.
Lilo looked down at her partner. "Oh, her partners a boy?"
Stitch nodded. "Yeah, she told me last night. She said that he's really nice; he buys her stuff and everything. Hey, you haven't bought me anything before!" said Stitch.
Lilo gave a small laugh. "Oh please, what about all the coconut cake I buy for you at Kiki's?"
Stitch sighs, when suddenly a very muscular, very sweaty boy comes up to Lilo. "Hey there hot thing, how's it going?" said the boy in a very smooth voice.
Lilo turned away from him, giving him the cold shoulder. "Oh please." Said Lilo angrily.
The boy gets up behind her and places his hand on her shoulder. "Come on baby, don't be like this. Give me a chance." Said the boy as he slowly placed his hand on Lilo's butt.
Lilo feels this and gives a startled yip; Stitch also saw this and began to growl. Stitch stepped forward and lunged at the boy, sinking his teeth into the boys shin. The boy leapt backwards with a painful yell, he began to jump up and down while holding his injured leg. A cruel smile came over Lilo's face as she watched.
"Thanks Stitch."
"No problem Lilo."
A moment later Angel came out of the weight area with her ears lowered. "He's not here."
"Well, that's alright we'll just go look in the next place." Said Lilo as she kneeled down and patted Angel on the head.
They quickly left the gym and headed for the next place, unfortunately it was the same result. They checked every place in town but they could not find Angel's partner anywhere, the pink experiment was beginning to get very discouraged. They finally decided to check the last place that Angel could think of to look. They headed off into the forest; they walked for at least 20 minutes before they finally reached a cliff that overlooked most of the island.
Angel gave a sad sigh when she saw that her partner was not there. She slowly walked over to the edge of the cliff and sat down, Lilo and Stitch stood there staring at her with sympathy.
"This place is very beautiful." Said Lilo as she looked around.
Angel gave a sigh. "Yeah, me and my partner would always come here after a long day of training. It's a very relaxing place." Said Angel with a sad tone to her voice.
"Well find him, don't worry." Said Stitch.
"I just hope he wasn't hurt… or worse." Said Angel as she looked back at Stitch.
Lilo gave a silent sigh. 'Maybe she isn't the experiment with the black book, I mean black is always associated with evil. And Angel is not evil at all; she is so worried about her partner. They must have been very close, like me and Stitch are.' Thought Lilo.
Angel stands up and walks back to Lilo and Stitch. "Well, he's not here. Lets go, its almost time for the picnic." Said Angel.
Lilo and Stitch nodded. "Right, first we need to stop back at the house and pack it." Said Lilo as the three of them walked back down the path.
They arrive home just a few minutes later; they begin to put the picnic basket together. They fill it with all sorts of goodies, sandwiches, brownies, corn on the cob, coconut cake, licorice and some assorted fruit drinks. After grabbing a picnic blanket the girl and two experiments left for there picnic. They decided to have it under the tree at their secret training ground, it was secluded and it was quite beautiful. In just a few minutes they had arrived at the spot, they made their way up the hill and set up the picnic.
It was a wonderful time; they laughed and enjoyed the food that they had brought. Stitch told Angel about their battles, making them more dramatic then they were, even though they were pretty serious fights. Lilo shared some rather embarrassing memories from her past with the two experiments, which got some big laughs. After about an hour and a half they had finished their food and were getting ready to leave. Suddenly the winds began to pick up, as if to prelude a storm.
"Well that's weird, it was supposed to be calm today." Said Lilo as she folded up the picnic blanket.
"There must be a storm coming." Added Stitch as he looked towards the horizon.
"That's no storm." Blurted Angel.
Lilo and Stitch both look at her, an expression of anger and fear was on her face as she starred down towards the tree line. Lilo and Stitch look down towards where she is looking, a moment later two figures come out from the forest. The first was a tall man; he had long grey hair and was wearing a grey suit. Under his arm he was holding a dark grey spell book. Walking along side of him was a small creature, it was mostly grey but it had brown stripes all over its body. It had a head like Stitch's but the body was a lot taller. It appeared to be holding a baseball sized silver orb in its right paw. Both of them had evil smirks on their faces.
"Oh no not again, can't we go anywhere without some experiment attacking?" said Lilo in a frustrated tone.
"Those guys certainly like the color grey." Blurted Stitch as he starred at the two.
"Those are the guys that separated me from my partner." Said Angel with a growl.
The two beings got with in 50 yards of the three. "Well here you are Angel; I thought I smelled your all too familiar scent." Said the experiment in a deep voice.
"I could smell you coming from a mile away, Twister." Growled Angel angrily.
Twister shook his head disappointedly. "Now Angel is that anyway to talk to an ex-boyfriend?" said Twister as he enjoyed her reaction.
"He's your ex?" asked Lilo in a shocked tone.
"Yeah, back when I was in training we dated for awhile, but it just didn't work out. He became an egomaniac and I just couldn't stand it."
"That's just because you were weak." Growled Twister. He looked over at Lilo and Stitch. "Who are they, your reinforcements? It doesn't matter, without your partner you're helpless. I'll destroy you easily."
"You won't lay a paw on her! It's you who will be defeated!" yelled Stitch as he steps in front of Angel protectively.
"Yeah, she's our friend and we won't let you hurt her!" yells Lilo as she pulls out the blue spell book.
Angel was just standing there with a look of shock on her face. She couldn't believe that Lilo and Stitch were willing to defend her like this. The man in the grey suit took the book out from under his arm and opened it; it soon began to glow with a grayish light.
Twister shrugged and pointed the silver orb in their direction. "Oh well, I guess that I'll just have to defeat both of you." Said Twister evilly.
"Toden!" yelled the man.
A moment later the small silver ball begins to glow with the same color as the book. A swirling vortex of wind appears in front of the orb and it forms into a ball of swirling grey wind. The orb of grey wind blasts towards the three friends. Stitch grabs Angel by the shoulders and leaps to the right while Lilo leaps to the left. The attack slams into the hillside throwing dirt and debris into the air. Stitch and Angel both roll down the hill until they hit a stump left from one of Lilo and Stitch's training sessions.
The two experiments get to their feet. "You stay here, me and Lilo will handle this." Said Stitch as he motioned for Angel to sit down.
"But…"
"No, no buts, you'll be safer if your out of the way." Said Stitch as he turned and ran up the hill.
"But, your not strong enough to beat him." Said Angel softly as she watched Stitch run up the hill.
Stitch reached the top of the hill to find Lilo there as well; she had the spell book open and was ready for a fight. "Ready Lilo?" asked Stitch.
"Ready!" yelled Lilo.
Twister gave a sigh. "Your not going to make this easy are you? Oh well."
"Toden!" yelled the man.
Once again the swirling grey orb forms and blasts towards Lilo and Stitch. The two of them leap to the side as the blast slams into the ground. Lilo slides to a stop and focuses her emotions, the book begins to glow.
"Try this on for size, Punchito!" yelled Lilo as she points towards the two attackers.
Stitch speeds towards them, his paw encompassed in the swirling blue energy. He charges, but right as he was about to make contact Twister reaches up with his spare paw and catches Stitch's punch. Lilo gives startled gasp as she watched Stitch struggle to force his attack onwards, but it was to no avail.
Twister gave an evil chuckle. "You're so weak, hardly worth my time." Twister slams the silver orb into Stitch's face sending him flying backwards.
Stitch slides through the dirt, digging a small trench as he went. Lilo runs over to him and kneels down next to him. He had a little blood running from the corner of his mouth. "This guy is tough." Said Lilo as she helped him up.
"Yeah, but we must beat him, we must protect Angel. These guys separated her and her partner and I'm going to make sure he doesn't do that to us." Growled Stitch.
Lilo nodded. "Right we'll beat him. Here we go…" Yelled Lilo as the blue book once again began to glow. "Fisten!"
Stitch's paws become surrounded in energy and he soon launches the stream of energy blasts at Twister. "So, you actually have a second spell? Let's see what it can do!" growled Twister.
"Toden!" yells the man.
Twister charges his attack and launches it, the two attacks careen toward each other. Twister's blast slams into the stream of energy bolts that Stitch was firing. Twisters attack tore through Stitch's much weaker assault. It slams into the ground just a few feet away from Stitch and Lilo, the blast sends the two of them flying backwards. The two of them roll to a stop while clenching their teeth in pain, Stitch stops and gets up to his feet. Angel comes running up to him and Lilo, who was also once again to her feet.
"Please Stitch, we must run. You're not strong enough to beat him." Pleaded Angel as she grabbed Stitch's arm.
Stitch yanks it away as he glares at Twister and his partner. "I'm sorry Angel but me and Lilo are not the ones to just run away."
"Yeah, we are going to fight with all of our strength. Nothing stands in our way." Said Lilo in a strong tone.
Twister gave an evil chuckle. "Nice try Angel, but it would appear that these two want to perish. And I must give them what they want."
Twisters' book began to glow. "Rounbower!" yelled the man as he pointed straight up.
Twister raised the silver orb straight up, it floated up just a few inch's above Twisters paw. It began to glow with grey light. The winds began to pick up as they swirled around the small object, picking up small sticks and leaves as they went.
Lilo, Stitch and Angel all dug their heels into the dirt to keep them selves from being sucked towards the orb. Suddenly the ground began to shake violently; cracks began to appear below Twister. There was a loud crumbling noise as giant pieces of rock began to lift up from the ground.
They were sucked up by the swirling wind and began to circle around the small orb. "Evade this!" yelled Twister as he threw his paw forward.
The giant hunks of rock blasted towards the three friends with incredible speed. Lilo focused her emotions, her anger, into the book. It began to glow its soft blue light. "Fisten!" yelled Lilo.
Stitch's fists glow as he launches the spell, the bolts of energy slam into the boulders, shattering them like glass. The pieces of stone fall to the ground with loud thuds, after a few seconds al the rocks were destroyed. The winds calmed and Stitch stopped his assault, leaving him and Lilo breathing heavily. However Twister and his partner didn't seem tired at all.
"Well, I must say that you're putting up a pretty good fight. But how long do you think you can continue? You're already running out of energy. Soon your spells won't be able to even scratch me." Said Twister as he looked at them with an almost amused look on his face.
Lilo growled as she looked at her opponents cocky grins. 'These guys are definitely tough, it's like he's invincible. And his power is amazing, but there's just got to be some way to beat him.' Thought Lilo.
Twister gave a small laugh. "Well, since you aren't going to attack let me have the honors."
Twisters' partner flips a couple pages in the book before it begins to glow. Twister lowered his paw and held the silver orb in his paws in front of his fuzzy grey chest. He removes his paws from the object, leaving it hanging in the air.
"Now, get ready!" growled Twister as the orb began to glow with a brilliant light.
"Cyclogar!" yelled the man in a very intense voice.
The small orb seemed to pulse with energy as the air began to swirl around it. With ever growing intensity the swirling mass of air formed into a funnel shape. The winds once again picked up with ever growing strength, objects, twigs, stones, leaves, branches, small boulders, everything was being sucked into this swirling funnel of air. As they reached the orb at the end of the funnel they seemed to disintegrate into nothing. Lilo, Stitch and Angel once again found them selves digging into the soft soil in order to not be killed.
All of them slowly start to slide towards the powerful funnel. "Ha ha, you fools; you can't resist my attack forever!" yelled Twister.
Stitch growled as he dug his feet into the ground, he slowly reached forward and grabs Lilo and Angel by the arm. With all the strength he could find he slowly started to pull them backwards towards the tree. Meanwhile down in the town, every one was standing around staring at the dark storm clouds that had just suddenly appeared above a distant hill. A tall black haired boy comes out from the gym rubbing his head, trying to figure out what to do.
"Well, she wasn't there… where could she be?" asked the boy to himself.
He then notices everyone staring and pointing, he looks up to see the dark stormy clouds. A look of shock appears on his face. "No, it can't be… that better not be what I think it is!" yelled the boy as he ran off in the direction of the stormy clouds.
Back at the hill Stitch had managed to reach the tree, all three of them grab onto it for dear life. More giant hunks of rock were being pulled up from the ground and sucked into the vortex. Disappearing into thin air.
"We've got to beat this guy!" yelled Stitch through the noise of the wind.
"Yeah and quickly!" replied Lilo. 'But how do we do that? These guys are invincible! Wait, he has to have a weak point somewhere. In all the monster movies I've seen the monster always seems invincible, but there's always a weak point on it that leads to its defeat. But where is Twisters weak spot?' thought Lilo as she strained to keep her grip on the tree.
Twister gave an evil laugh. "Just give up, I promise you that it will be over very quickly!"
The tree lurched towards the vortex, its roots starting to rip from the ground. 'Come on Lilo think, where's his weakness!' Lilo starred at the experiment for a moment before her eyes fell onto the tiny silver orb in front of Twisters chest. 'That's it!' the idea hit her like a ton of bricks. 'That orb is the source of his power, its his weak point. If we can destroy that orb he'll lose his powers!'
Lilo looked over at Stitch who was digging his navy colored claws into the tree. "Stitch, I know how we can take him down!"
Stitch looked over at her. "What is it tell me!" yelled Stitch as his ear flaps in front of his face.
"That orb is the epicenter of his power, if we can destroy it he'll lose his powers and we can defeat him easily!"
A sly smile appeared on the experiments face. "Good idea, just tell me what to do!"
Lilo nodded. "Face the center of the vortex and then get ready to launch an attack!"
Stitch nodded and let go of the tree, he dug his feet into the dirt as far as they could go. He starred straight down into the swirling vortex, focusing on the glowing center of it. Lilo managed to carefully open the book up, she began to focus.
'Ok, come on Lilo, you've got to do this. If you don't this book will be destroyed, and you'll lose Stitch forever.' The book began to glow, but something was different it was glowing brighter then it ever had. 'I'm not going to let that happen, he's my friend and he won't lose this fight!' the book was now shining like a brilliant star. The bright shine of the book even caught Twisters attention.
"What's going on with her book!" wondered Twister.
Lilo clenched her fingers on the book. "Fisten!" yelled Lilo with a powerful voice.
Stitch's fists grew with the same brightness; a look of determination covered his face. In a flash Stitch launched the attack, the bolts of energy shined like diamonds as they flew into the vortex. They slammed into the center of the vortex, causing brilliant flashes of light. Twister cringed with pain as the barrage of energy continuously slammed into his silver orb. The attack continued for a few minutes before anything happened. There was a small cracking noise, Twister looks down to see a small crack stretching across the orb. His eyes filled with terror; suddenly the orb breaks in two. Almost instantly the swirling vortex destabilizes and disappears.
The two hunks of silver fall to the ground, along with it Angel falls to the ground. Her arms were aching from the strain that they had been through. Lilo releases her grip from the tree and takes a few shaky steps forward. Twister was just standing there, trembling. He couldn't believe what had just happened; he looked up at Lilo and Stitch with fear in his eyes.
"It's time to finish you off." Said Lilo as the blue book began to glow again."Looks like we win after all, Punchito!" yelled Lilo.
Stitch's fist becomes surrounded in energy and in a flash he charges towards Twister. His fist slams into the experiments gut, sending a wave of pain through Twisters body. The grey experiment fly's through the air and slams into a tree at the bottom of the hill. He falls to the ground unconscious, his partner look at him and then back at Lilo with a scared look on his face.
"You've lost so hand over the book." Commanded Lilo.
With a yell the man drops the book and runs away into the forest. Stitch quickly runs over and grabs the grey book, he then turns towards Lilo.
"Ready?" called Lilo.
"Ready!" replied Stitch as he tossed the book into the air.
"Fisten!" yells Lilo.
Stitch launches a single blast of energy; it collides with the book and explodes. The book falls to the ground engulfed in silver flame. Stitch smiles and slowly walks back over to Lilo, who collapses to her knees. She was breathing heavily and so was Stitch.
"Well… we did it." Said Stitch as he fell to the ground.
"We sure did. That has to have been the toughest fight so far." Sighed Lilo.
Stitch also sighed. "Yeah, but it was worth it." Said Stitch as he looked up at Angel.
Well, that's the end of the chapter. I hope you enjoyed that battle; it's been the best one so far. Anyway, I'll have the final chapter up as soon as possible. Well, please review. Later.
