First, the usual disclaimers. Lilo and Stitch is the property of Disney and the Timesplitters belong to Eidos Interactive. Akira, Rick, X-777 and Matt are my ideas and the Plasma Magnum is my creation.
Chapter 3: Meetings
Kauai Island
Nani was on her way home from her job at the 'Birds of Paradise' hotel. It had been an uneventful day compared to last night and Nani was looking forward to seeing Lilo. As she pulled into the road that lead to the house, she saw Stitch run past carrying Lilo. She pulled up and was about to get out when another experiment that looked like a red-furred version of Angel and a 19 year old boy ran past as well. Nani got out of the car and ran after them. She arrived just in time to see the boy running into the house. Nani burst in after them and was just in time to hear Matt say "What do you mean you can't cure her?"
Matt couldn't believe what X-777 had just said "I told you. I can't cure her without a genetic sample of Virus624." Said X-777 "Hey, Who's she?"
Matt spun round to face Nani who was standing in the open door with her mouth hanging open. "Ah…Err, Hi there."
When she didn't move Matt walked up to her and waved his hand in front of her face. "Are you o.k.?" Matt asked.
Footsteps from the direction of the stairs made X-777 and Matt turn around to see Akira walk in. She had a bandage on her head that made her look like she was wearing a bandanna.
"AKIRA, you're o.k." Said Matt happily. "Where's Rick?"
Akira was just about to answer when Nani came to her senses and yelled "JUMBA! STITCH!"
Matt turned to see a large purple alien with four eyes come down the stairs along with the blue experiment that they had followed here. "Bigger girl I was not expecting you back so soon."
Matt noticed that this 'Jumba' person looked nervous. "Where's Lilo? I saw Stitch carrying her home with this guy and his experiment following." Nani said, pointing at Matt and X-777.
Matt swayed nervously. He kept getting the feeling that someone else was in the room. Jumba looked at his feet and answered "Little girl is very ill. 626 is telling me that 624 was biting her on arm."
Nani turned to stare coldly at Matt. "Hey, it isn't my fault." Said Matt "Me and X-777 tried to stop Virus 624. We would have succeeded if Lilo's blue dog hadn't tossed me across the street. What we have to do is catch her before she decides to go on a biting spree. I also would like to know who blew a hole in the side of my smegging ship."
Splitter base
Location: Classified
Commander Darleas was, for the first time in his life, in a good mood. The heavy weapons squad had reported full success and the scouts that he had sent to the crash site had reported that, although a couple of locals had turned up (Lilo and Stitch of course) there had been only two visible survivors and the traveller was not among them. When Darleas and his team had heard this they had immediately felt like Christmas, Easter and their birthdays had arrived at the same time and had spent the rest of the night drinking their way through the alcohol supplies in celebration. (A Splitters metabolism prevents hangovers. Lucky smeggers.) "I still can't believe that we've got rid of the traveller." Darleas muttered to himself.
He got up to leave when his intercom buzzed. "Yes? What is it?" He barked into the speaker.
The voice on the other end sounded worried "Err…I've got good news and bad news, sir"
Darleas waited for him to continue but an inner voice said 'your day is about to suck…BIG TIME!'
"We got a report from a scout unit in Kokaua Town. He reported that Virus 624 has completed her field test successfully and the capture squad has retrieved her."
Darleas sighed with relief and said "Good. Prepare the portal generator so we can transport her to the emperor as soon as possible. And the bad news?"
There was static as the trooper on the other end gulped "The scout also saw two individuals who attempted to interfere. It was the cure experiment and the travelle…" What he meant to say next remained a mystery because he was cut off as Darleas activated the P.A system they had set up and yelled "NOW HEAR THIS, YOU BUNCH OF SMEGHEADS! ASSAULT TEAM ONE, PREPARE FOR IMMEDIATE DEPLOYMENT!"
Assault team one were Darleas's best kill team. Darleas intended to finish off the traveller once and for all.
Pelekai Household
Matt stepped out of Jumba's scanner and waited as the machine processed the results. He looked over at Lilo who lay in Jumba's bed asleep.
"Poor girl. Whoever hired Dr Johnson has a lot to answer for" He thought. Jumba's scanner beeped as it completed the results.
Jumba said "Now we will be seeing who you are really being." And began to read them to himself.
After a minute he looked up at Matt and said "According to scanner, you are English boy who disappeared three earth years ago but hair should be blonde, not black."
Matt just shrugged and said "Maybe the version of me here is blonde. I know that I haven't dyed my hair ever."
The door opened and Stitch, Nani and another experiment came in. "Ah, 032. Now we will be finding out truth."
Matt was walked to the living room and sat on a stool while Nani, Jumba and Stitch sat on the sofa facing him and Akira, X-777 and the recently revived Rick watched from the kitchen. The new experiment sat on the floor next to Matt's seat.
"Who are you and where are you from?" snapped Nani at Matt. Matt half-understood why Nani might be angry but there was no need to blame him.
"I'm the bogeyman and I live in your sock drawer." Retorted Matt, sarcastically.
"BZZZZZZZZZ!" went Fibber, making Matt fall off his seat in shock. "Ha. 032 will always be exposing untruths." Said Jumba as Matt got back on the chair in a fouler mood.
"I was being sarcastic." He growled. Matt sighed, took a deep breath and said "My name is Matthew Lynch. I live in England and come from another dimension."
Fibber stayed silent. Matt savoured the shocked looks on Stitch and Nani's faces. Surprisingly, Jumba seemed unsurprised by this news, saying "That is explaining different hair colour."
Matt was shocked. Usually someone would have passed out by now. Jumba continued "Why are you coming here and attacking Angel?"
"Who's Angel?" Matt Asked.
"Angel is Experiment 624. The one that you tried to kidnap." Said Nani with only a hint of anger.
Matt was genuinely shocked at this accusation and shouted "I DID NOT TRY TO KIPNAP ANYONE!" Matt pulled himself together and continued
"That was not your Angel. It was a clone called Virus 624. Me and my friends…" Matt pointed to Rick, Akira and X-777 "…came here to stop her and three other clones." Fibber, once again remained silent.
Stitch asked a question in Turoian.
"What did he say?" asked Matt.
"626 is asking where Angel is? Answered Jumba.
"I don't know. The only scanners capable of doing that are the DNA trackers on my ship but from what I've heard, my ship's been totalled." Matt pulled the injector gun he found earlier out of his pocket and shot the translator nanites into his wrist. "I'm sick of struggling to understand what the smeg he's saying." Said Matt. "He's giving me a headache."
Stitch got off the sofa and walked up to Matt. "What's wrong with Lilo?" He said, the newly injected nanites began translating to English. "What did this clone do to her?"
"She's been infected with a virus called EXP." Matt answered in turonian as the translators finished kicking in "It's going to change her into an evil experiment."
Stitch just looked stunned then answered "No." he whispered quietly.
He turned to look at Fibber but the lie detector experiment remained silent. Matt got up and said "Don't worry, if we can catch Virus 624 in time, X-777 can cure Lilo. I just need to get some stuff from my ship and…" A movement beyond the window made him hesitate. "Did anyone see that?"
It was at this moment when fifteen high-caliber plasma rounds blew the window in, making everyone dive to the floor.
The twenty-strong splitter assault team yelled and whistled as they opened fire on the Pelekai house with their plasma rifles.
"This is too easy." Stated one young grunt as he emptied his clip into the house.
"Don't get cocky. The traveller's in there and he's tough for a human." Said his squad mate, unloading his clip into the Pelekai's living room.
"Cease fire!" ordered the squad's captain and the splitters stopped firing and began to reload their weapons.
"Ok the traveller's got to be dead after all that." Said the captain and pointed at ten of his squad. "You, go in the front and check for survivors. If you find any, kill them. The rest of us will go in the back and check upstairs for the girl that Virus 624 infected. The emperor will want her transported to him as well."
The first team crept in through the front door and were shocked to discover that there was no one home. "Hey, where is everyone?" said one of the splitters. The first splitter shot backwards as a plasma round shot out of the shadows and impacted on his chest, throwing him out of the door. Stitch dropped from the ceiling where he was hiding onto another splitter which he then used to hit a third one. The rest of the splitters got an even worse surprise when Akira, Rick and X-777 came out from behind the sofa where they had been hiding and attacked as well. The biggest shock came when Rick coughed up a fireball that literately melted a splitter that was trying to choke Stitch.
"Ack…Did I do that?" said Rick in a raspy voice while clutching his throat.
"That was easy." Said Matt as they looked at the unconscious and dissolving splitters.
"Everything okay up there?" said Matt up the stairs to where he had sent Jumba, Fibber and Nani so they wouldn't get hurt.
"Yes. We are being fine." Said the voice of Jumba. Suddenly Stitch's ears shot up and he ran towards the back door. Matt followed him to see a splitter running back outside but Matt's attention was on the can shaped object that it had left in the middle of the floor.
He turned and ran back towards the living room, yelling "Oh, smeg. Run! It's a stunner char…" There was a bright blue flash, a loud noise like thunder and everything went black.
End of Chapter 3
Ha ha! Another cliff hanger.
Delta Operator helped a lot with this chapter. Thanks dude!
As usual, read and review, please!
Splitter bodies dissolve into dust when they die.
