Chapter 5: Monster-Sized Chaos: Part I

It has been a few hours since DS and the gang were flying towards Kenashi's Laboratory Hideout. It was nearly dusk by the time they finally arrived. When they approached the giantic double doors, DS froze with precaution. This nearly shocked everybody.

"DS?" Tech asked. "What's wrong?"

"I sense two things unusual." DS replied calmly.

"What are they?"

DS remained silent as he slowly apporached the double doors and scratched a little. He sensed movement exiting the door, even though he couldn't see it. He backed away slowly until a white Stitch-like creature, small as Yaarp, appeared in his place. He had gray on his eyes, inside of his ears, his mouth, claws, nose, and markings. The only thing that was brightly colored in pink was his tongue.

"Who is this little guy?" Ace asked.

"That's InvisiStitch." DS replied with relief. "He's one of my kind in this city. Were you in there the whole time?"

"Yeah." InvisiStitch replied in a baby-Stitch-like voice. "They're making Lola into a monster and about Azuki and Silverwing…"

"What about them?"

"……Silverwing's in a deep sleep, but Azuki has been ordered a wish… and a deadly one at that."

"D… d… deadly?" Daffy studdered while shivering.

"Yeah. Kenashi's son, Yangizi, made a wish for all of you guys, except DS, to turn into… into…"

"Into what?"

Before he could reply, Slam was the first to experince the Vampire Dragon mutation. He began screaming at the top of his lungs as he felt himself being mutated. Seconds later, everybody else were feeling the same almost simultaneously. InvisiStitch and DS took a step back as they watched everybody mutate, including Bugs. DS was shocked.

"Yangizi pulled the deadliest trigger, didn't he?" He declared to Invisi.

"Yeah." Invisi replied. "As soon as he made that wish, I knew things were gonna turn ugly."

"And about Kenashi?"

A low rumble in the ground answered his question. They both flew up from the dragon's lair and watched as everybody was completely mutated into Vampire Dragon versions of themselves before a 70-foot-tall rabbit-like beast emerged from the lair with fury. They both stared wide eyed at it.

"That's Lola!" DS exclaimed. "This is not gonna be very tasteful."

Bugs and the other Vampire Dragons looked up at Yangizi, who just walked out with Azuki and Silverwing in hand.

"Look at my assistants." He cheered. "They look furious. Now, you all will help my dad's monster make havoc of the entire city!"

"OH, NO!" DS screamed. "Kenashi really ruined everything this time!"

The monsterous Lola roared with fury as she started stomping into the city. As for the Vampire Dragons…

"Hey, doc." Bugs asked in a growling version of his voice. "What's da damn idea toinin' us into bitches!"

"DON'T TALK BACK TO ME, YOU HORENDUS SLAVE OF MINE!" Yangizi screamed. "I am your ruler, therefore, I make the calls around here! What? You want your wife back?"

"Yeah! You toined her into a damn monsta and I'm gonna kill ya fo' dat!"

"Try, if you must."

Bugs growled before he flew up towards the giant dragon son of Kenashi before he was attacked by one of his mutated friends, Daffy. It seemed Bugs was the only one that was mutated, but still has his sense of heart while the others were controlled by Yangizi. Azuki and Silverwing purred with fear as they watched the two dragons on the ground. DS and InvisiStitch were watching the whole thing from their hovering as Bugs tried to resist Daffy's grip.

"Daff! Daff! Snap out of it!" He tried to convince to Daffy, but it was no use. Pretty soon, Kenashi walked out, chuckling to the misery Daffy was giving his best friend.

"You seem to be the oddball of the litter, Bugsy." He devilishly joked. "You have a heart so sensitive, that no evil force can take over it. I'm impressed."

"Well… unh!... ya should be impressed about… my intentions of… ugh… savin' my wife!" Bugs struggled between grasps of his friend. Kenashi chuckled.

"If you can stop her…… alone."

"Huh?"

"Daffy, release him."

Daffy roared in response as he released Bugs, who stood up on all fours before Kenashi continued.

"I'll make you an offer. You can get your wife back if you can stop her on your own. Any questions?" Kenashi repeated. Bugs growled with determination.

"It's a deal, doc!" He exclaimed before he flapped his huge wings and flew off to where Lola was causing havoc to the city. DS and InvisiStitch watched him before Kenashi's shadow was over them, which made them look towards him.

"DS and InvisiStitch! Quite a surprise." Kenashi muttered to the two. "I suppose you're here to save who I think you've came here for."

"Mystic-Stitch?" DS guessed angrily. "Yeah."

"Forget it. She's under my command now and there's not a thing you can do to help her."

DS grew furious as he pulled out his double-bladed laser sword before he leapt for the giant dragon. While this was happening, InvisiStitch turned invisible as he flew off to go help Bugs.

Meanwhile, inside Kenashi's hideout…

Mystic was sitting in a giant fish tank, watching the chaos from her spot in the corner of the tank. She saw the big fight DS was giving to Kenashi and grew scared as she shivered with fear.

"I sure hope DS knows what he's doing." She swore in her deep female voice. She was almost like Angel, except she had pink hair going down from the top of her head, with a little fringe of it hanging down in front of her face, to her ankles. Her body fur was pink as well with lavender markings around her purple eyes, which were similar to NiGHTS' eyes, on her footpads, her back, and on her muzzle down to between her legs. She also had hanging antennae-like ears that hung in front of her face. She was wearing a black tank top with blue jeans, having her long, fluffy, and pink fox-like tail with a lavender-colored tip. "This isn't like him at all to take risks like this. I hope he'll live."

Meanwhile, in the center of the underwater city…

The monsterous version of Lola was crashing through buildings and causing uncontollable chaos to every citizen running for santuary. Minutes later, Bugs flew up to her face and that stopped her for a moment. She was growling with fury as she stared at her mutated husband.

"Lola, it's me… Bugs." He pleaded softly. She looked like she still didn't recognize him and roared in his face, telling him to leave her alone. "Lola, don't ya rememba me? I rememba you!"

Lola got quiet and amazingly spoke.

"Bugs?" She asked in her normal voice.

"Lola? You rememba me now, don't ya?" Bugs asked.

"Now, I do. What the hell happened to you?"

"Kenashi's son made a wish to Azuki to toin us into Vampire Dragons and be inslaved into his custody foreva."

"Is that so? Well, he's about to get a piece of his mind bitten off once I face him. Where is he?"

"He's probably waitin' for me back at Kenashi's hideout."

"Waiting for you? Why?"

"A bet." InvisiStitch replied from nowhere before he reappeared beside Bugs. "My name's InvisiStitch."

"Nice to meet ya. What bet was in session?"

"He made a little deal." Bugs replied. "If I successfully find you and toin ya back to ya good self, den he'll kindfully ask his dad to change us back and I can have you back along wit it. If I don't, den I don't know what he'll do."

"Some deal from such a deadly looking bastard."

"Tell me about it." Invisi agreed. "We better get back to the others before…"

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!

"Shit!"

Back at Kenashi's damaged hideout…

The explosion was from DS's final blow to Kenashi, which was a little harmful to the dragon. The last blast from the black Stitch drained pretty much all of his energy and he started falling towards the ground, but then he froze in mid-air unexpectedly by the time Bugs flew back with Lola stomping behind him. Kenashi saw the two and then, looked down at the floating, but unconcious, DS in mid-air beside the two. He smiled, for he knew who was holding him.

"InvisiStitch went with you, Bugs?" He asked with disappointment. "I'm surprised."

"Well, he didn't help me much. I pretty much changed Lola back to her old and bubbly self." Bugs protested innocently as he landed back on his feet.

"So it seems, but yet, you still have another challenge to face………… your friends."

"What?" Bugs turned around to see that all of his mutated friends were taking Lola's place in wreaking the whole city with Yangizi, who still held Azuki and Silverwing on his back, watching his slaves to his work. "Oh, hell no! I ain't gonna let dem do wrong, too!" After that, Bugs flew off again towards the city limits while Lola was held back my Kenashi.

"Well, a deal's a deal." He said to her as he snapped his finger and Lola instantly turned back to her old self. "You're off the hook."

"Thanks." Lola muttered as she turned her back on him before the corner of her eye caught Mystic in a fish tank. She immediately turned around and ran into the place, making Kenashi angry.

"On seconds thought, I would take that back!" He said to himself as he followed her.

Inside…

Lola just came in and looked up at the fish tank where Mystic was. She grew nervous that the table was huge and gigantic as Kenashi himself. As soon as the big dragon himself came in, Lola felt herself being lifted off the ground automatically, making Kenashi slip on his grab and miss, hitting the floor. When Lola was placed on the table, she was puzzled.

"How did I float up here?" She asked herself before he looked down where she heard footsteps and saw InvisiStitch standing next to her. "Who are you?"

"I'm InvisiStitch." Invisi replied kindly. "I was the one that lifted you up here."

"So, you know about me rescuing that girl over there?"

"Yeah. That's DS' girlfriend."

Lola wanted to laugh, but she held it in as he continued.

"Her name is Mystic. We call her that because of her majestic powers of a fairy or a wizard. She even has a magic wand with her, too."

"Wow, that's neat. You wanna help me get her out?"

"Not so fast!" Kenashi grunted as he stood up to look at the two on his table. "You won't be rescuing nobody as long as I'm here!"

"RUN!" Invisi screamed before he grabbed Lola and flew up, making Kenashi barely miss.

"Come back here!"

Invisi ignored him as he flew above the tank Mystic was in and dropped Lola in it, making her land on her butt hard while he kept flying away from Kenashi.

"Ow!" Lola moaned as she rubbed her butt gently before she turned and saw Mystic curled up in a ball with fear. She showed a worried look on her face as she got up and walked up to the frightened pink girl and tapped her twice, which made her slowly uncurl into her body form when she looked up at Lola. "It's okay, Mystic. I'm here to save you."

"Did DS send you?" Mystic asked as she was standing up.

"Yeah… sort of."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Kenashi kinda forced me in, but then again, maybe it was DS' idea to send somebody in to save you nonetheless."

"Oh. Well, if you can find a safe way out without Kenashi accidently stepping on you, that'll be an honor."

"Great. Hop in my arms." Lola held out her arms as Mystic jumped in and the tan bunny held her close as she walked up to a glass wall that faced the door. She thought for a moment, then a small lightbulb lit up over her head when she got an idea. She used one free hand to reach into her short pocket and pull out an ACME glass cutter. Then, she slowly drew a big enough, but perfect circle and placed the glass cutter back in her pocket before she gave the loose circular piece of glass a good kick, making the glass piece fall over and crack on the hardwood table. This made Kenashi pause in the middle of chasing InvisiStitch and looked over to where the crash came from. Lola looked behind her and noticed his shocked, but angry look.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh, shit!" She muttered as she quickly jumped out the opening in the tank and safely slid down one of the table legs like a pole towards the floor and made a run for the exit. Kenashi roared as he started running after her in a gallop. InvisiStitch turned invisible again and flew at the speed of light towards Lola and Mystic as they were approaching the door. He grabbed the tan bunny just in time and slammed the door right in Kenashi's face… literally. The door slam slapped the dragon's nose hard, making him unconcious as Invisi locked the door afterwards. He looked to his right and saw that Yangizi was gone with Lola's mutated friends. Then, he looked to his left and saw DS laying unconcious on the floor next to the two ladies. He made himself visible again and walked up to the three in a calm manner.

"You ladies okay?" He asked the girls. Lola dusted herself off while Mystic jumped out of her arms and dusted herself off as well.

"Yeah." Lola replied. "We're fine. Who's that?"

"This is Dark Stitch… otherwise known as DS. He's the guy Mystic mentioned to you earlier." Invisi replied as he tried to revive DS.

"You three are pretty cool and cute. Speaking of which, where Azuki and Silverwing?"

"They've been taken by Yangizi into the city with the others." Mystic replied. "I'm afraid this is gonna be difficult for all of us to get them back along with your friends, Lola."

"Well, besides the fact that Yangizi's a big bastard, I could take him myself…"

"…if you were still a monster."

"Goddamn! What can we do then?"

"Don't know." DS weakly replied as he sat up. "But, if we work together, we can find some kinda way to end this shit once and for all!"

"But, DS, Lola's a Looney Tune." Invisi protested as she stood. "What can she do?"

"Mystic, you have any idea what Lola could be useful for?"

"Maybe." Mystic replied as she faced Lola. "Here's a spell riddle for you: If there's one majestic form of animal you could be, other than what you are now, what would it be?"

Lola smiled as she came into thought. After 6 minutes, she finally made up her mind and whispered her reply in Mystic's ear. After she heard what the bunny told her, she nodded in response before she pulled out her magic wand, preparing to perform her spell.

"Remember: you're gonna be like this until the objective has been completed. Understand?" She reminded. Lola nodded as she prepared herself to have the spell she asked for. DS and Invisi watched from the distance and grew a bit nervous.

"Boy, I hope she chose a good animal." Invisi muttered to himself.
