Chapter 3: Lilo is Kidnapped

"Stitch! AaAaAaaaaaaaaaah!" Lilo yelled. 628 flipped a head backwards and spotted Lilo.
"I'm coming, Lilo!" Stitch said.

Lilo equals little girl. Stitch equals 626, connected tightly with Lilo. Plan for destroying 626 equals... take Lilo.

628 dived for Lilo and clutched her to his shoulder. He jumped out the window, over the fence, and into the high foliage of the forest. "Lilo!" Stitch yelled out the window. He leaped over the windowsill and landed in a tree. He scanned around, but didn't even see or hear a hint of Lilo or 628.

There was crackling in a bush. He jumped out of a tree and pushed aside some bushes. There was Lilo, floating in the air.
"Gaba!" Stitch gasped. Suddenly, 628 became visible under Lilo. Stitch grabbed his eyelids and yanked them down, then let go and allowed them to snap back. Stitch lunged for 628 and Lilo, but 628's antennae grew longer and started to whirl around. 628 sprung into the air, then hovered there. Stitch hurdled himself at 628, but missed as 628 rose even higher.

628 laughed menacingly as Stitch leaped into a tree. 628 rose higher and higher... but Stitch lunged for 628 but jumped too high and missed. "Whoooooaaaa!" Stitch yelled as he fell down, just barely grabbing 628's foot. He grabbed the other foot, then went full alien.

628 snorts, then churned his feet around, trying to chuck Stitch off himself. "Whoaoaoaoaaaaaaaaaa!" Stitch hollered into the night. "Meega choota coshta!" 628 hooted in a low, husky voice. "Oh! Naughty!" Stitch gasped.

628 ground his teeth together, then grabbed Stitch with his 5th and 6th arms and rolled him into a ball. 628 drop-kicked Stitch and raced off into the mountains.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Stitch clamored, flying toward his house.

Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley had just climbed into their soft, comfy beds when... CRASH! BANG! Clink! They all raced from their bedrooms to find Stitch lying on the floor in the living room, moaning and groaning. A nice skylight had been added to their house compliments of 626.

Stitch rolled over and grasped his head. "Oww..." he said. Jumba picked him up, then pressed in his three spikes on his back. Stitch widened his eyes, then started slashing and growling for a moment. He rattled his head as Nani said, "What the heck happened here, Stitch? And where's Lilo?"

Stitch moaned once more, then started chattering in alien really quickly. Jumba nodded his head at appropriate times as Nani and Pleakley looked at each other, then looked back at Jumba kind of strangely. Stitch took a large breath, then collapsed on the floor.

"So?" Nani asked. "Uh oh. Afraid this would happen. Erm, Lilo has been captured by Experiment... erm... 628, and--"
"EXPERIMENT 628!" Nani yelled into Jumba's ears. She would have yelled in Pleakley's ears too, because she knew that he knew about it, but he didn't have any. "Erm... yes... sorry!" Jumba said. "I was true evil yesterday... no doubt about it." Nani shook Jumba's collar on his shirt and said, "Where is she?" so sternly that Jumba cringed and said, "Headed for the mountains with 628." Stitch turned to Nani and said, sadly, "Ih."

"Well, we gotta save her!" Pleakley exclaimed. He dashed out the door. He reappeared, grabbed a "fashionable" handbag, then said, "COME ON!" He grabbed Jumba's fat finger, and Jumba grabbed Nani's hand, and Nani grabbed Stitch by the stomach and lugged him out the door.

Stitch jumped out of Nani's arm, then sniffed the air. He sniffed the air so he almost fell backwards, but then gained his balance. He pointed toward the mountains and said, "Lilo!" He bolted into the woods, piling Jumba, then Nani, then Pleakley on top of him. He held them in place with his 3rd and 4th arms.

He brushed through bushes, crashed and knocked over trees, and stopped for a cute little squirrel that just happened to pass by. (What was he doing out this late anyway?)

"Stiiiiitch! Is there any way that we don't have to be on top of one another?" Nani asked Stitch in a sort of way that said 'I'm tired so you better give me the answer I want to hear.' Jumba replied first, however.

"You can use my beeg belly for a couch or bed, if you like." Nani's face scrunched up, then said, "Ok, fine." She pushed Pleakley off her and onto Jumba's fat stomach. Pleakley, being the noodle he is, slipped and grabbed onto Jumba's foot. "Waaaah! Help me!"

"No time for stopping, Pleakley!" Stitch yelled. Suddenly, he jerked to a stop, and all three guests of Stitch's back slammed into a shear drop of a wall. "Uh oh, not good..." Stitch said, just before the yelling started.
"Stitch is not dragging me up that thing!" Nani yelled.
"I am evil genius, not luggage bag!" Jumba growled.
Stitch, Nani, and Jumba all stared at Pleakley. "I... I... Oh, please don't make me go with the little monster!"

"Pleakley goes," both Jumba and Nani say at the same time.

628 stared down at Lilo with one head. He examined her with his scanning eyes, and then said, "Yooga... Lilo..." in his gruff voice that sounded much like 627's, but lower. "Y-y-yea, I'm Lilo. Wh- what do you want with me?"
628, since he was created not to keep information from anyone (which was a bad flaw Jumba forgot to eliminate), replied, "I am holding you hostage so that 626 will come to me so I may destroy him."
Lilo gasped, then swallowed hard. "Why do you want to hurt Stitch? What has he done to you?" Lilo exclaimed, feeling a bit braver now that she knew that 628 probably wasn't going to hurt her.

628 thought for a while, then came up with the answer, "626 is in my programming as weaker than I. Therefore, I must test my skills to see if that piece of information is true." Lilo shrunk back, then said... nothing. She didn't know what to say. Tears started to form in her eyes.
