Author's Note: Since I have been receiving so many reviews, I decided that I would post this chapter early as well. I am almost finished with chapter 7 and will begin on chapter 8 shortly. And to ease everyone's worries, this story will have a happy ending, but Stitch is going to go thru hell first. Now on with the fic.
Disclaimer: I don't own Lilo and Stitch.
Polarity Chapter 5
A Rescue Attempt
The cell block had been in total chaos. Someone had detonated a static bomb, frying several of the holding cell's door mechanisms. The prisoners where quickly rounded up, but the guards were still trying to find out where the bomb had gone off, and who had had it. Then they came to Hamsterville's cell, and what they found shocked them beyond belief. They saw all of his transmission equipment, and found him unconscious next to the burned out static bomb. They quickly contacted the Galactic Councilwoman.
Upon arriving, she ordered Hamsterville sent to the maximum security lockdown area, and that round the clock watch be kept of him. Meanwhile, he had woken up and was very irked. "That traitorous little witch! She tricked me. When I am getting myself out of here…"
"Ahem." said the Galactic Councilwoman, alerting Hamsterville to the fact that he was in very big trouble.
"Uh oh, uh is not what you think. Is…" Hamsterville stuttered out.
"Don't say anything else. You may have pulled the wool over our eyes as to your activities up to this point, but let me assure you that you will not be able to do so in the future." she said, obviously quite angry. "Take him away."
"When I get my hands on that traitorous Hawaiian girl!" Hamsterville screamed as they took him away.
What Hamsterville had said concerned the councilwoman. "Surely he couldn't have meant…"
"Umm…Galactic Councilwoman, you need to look at this." said one of the guards.
Indeed, she needed to look at it, but that didn't mean she wished she hadn't.
The guard had shown her a transmission that had survived the charge, and what it showed shocked the Galactic Councilwoman to her very soul.
"It can't be. I don't believe it. Lilo would never..." she stuttered.
"Umm…does 624 mean anything?" her aide, as tiger-like creature asked.
The councilwoman's eyes went wide. "Oh no." She knew only some things about the experiments, but she knew that 624 song could turn a saint into a demon. She turned to her aide. "Ready my fastest ship, NOW! We must hurry to Earth before a great tragedy occurs. And get Cobra Bubbles on the phone ASAP. We need to warn him of the dire situation." she said as she took off down the hall.
"Yes ma'am" said the aide, hurrying to keep up with the councilwoman. "But what is going on?"
"What may very well be the beginning of the end for the Planet Earth."
"Here we are." whispered Nosy as they approached the holding ship.
"Okay, you guys know what to do." 625 whispered back.
"Right." Nosy said as he and Fibber walked towards the guards, Sparky and Heat.
"Hold it!" Sparky said in a low growl.
"What do you want?" Heat said to Nosy as he charged up.
"Hey, cool your jets; come on and listen to some of the local gossip. Right Fibber?" Nosy said, making sure not to tell a lie.
Fibber nodded his head in agreement.
"Why do you want to tell us?" Sparky said, still watching Nosy.
"Why not? And maybe you can tell me a little something about your relationship with a certain experiment?" Sparky started to charge up, but Heat started to giggle.
"I am not in a relationship!" Sparky yelled.
WAHHH!
"Well, Fibber here says different. So, how's it going between you and your hairdresser?"
Heat was beside himself with laughter. Sparky was embarrassed beyond belief. As he got ready to attack Nosy, Nosy quickly turned to Heat and said, "Well, at least he's got a girlfriend. I hear you spend most of your days with your construction buddies making cat-calls."
This got Sparky's attention, he wanted to hear this.
"So, what's wrong with that?" Heat said, starting to feel 'on the spot'.
"Nothing, except you're making them at human women." Nosy replied.
Heat started to turn redder than usual. "So what, I think they are pretty, big deal!"
Sparky on the other hand was starting to laugh at Heat. "Why, can't you get an experiment girl to look at you?"
"Of course I can. I just don't try."
WAHHH!
"Guess Fibber here sees differently. You always were a loser." Sparky remarked between laughs.
"That's it! You're going down Sparklebutt!" Heat screamed as he charged up.
"Sparklebutt? Alright, you asked for it dateless wonder!" Sparky replied as he charged up as well.
The two then began to fight with each other. Nosy and Fibber backed away from the fight as Nosy said "That worked better than I thought it would."
With the guards distracted by fighting, the remaining four rescuers made their way to the ship. "Well, that wasn't exactly how I thought that would work, but beggars can't be choosers." 625 said as he tried to find the air duct system.
Finally they found it near the back of the ship. "Here we go. Victoria, laser cutter." 625 said as he held out his hand.
"Laser cutter." Victoria replied as she handed him the small device.
625 made a hole in the hull of the ship with the laser cutter and the four climbed in. "Okay Shush, can you find the sound amplifier?"
"Shush." he replied as he activated his power.
625 listened into his tail, and soon enough they found the amplifier. Unfortunately, Lilo was still in the room with it.
"What do we do?" whispered Victoria.
"We wait until she leaves the room, duh." was 625's reply.
They didn't have to wait long. Lilo appeared to be getting restless, and finally got up.
"Well, that's your cue." 625 whispered to Victoria.
"Alright, are you going to find Stitch now?" Victoria whispered back.
"Only way we are getting out of this alive."
While the rescuers were putting their plan into action, Lilo had been making the final preparations for her plan. "Everything is going according to plan. I sent Kixx out on his retrieval mission about an hour ago. He should return shortly with my final future 'ally'. Now all I have to do is wait." Now evil mastermind or no, Lilo was still an eleven year-old. So you can imagine that patience wasn't one of her strong suits. Then she heard the fighting outside. Sounds like someone is trying to get into the ship. I didn't think Cobra would get here this quickly. This is a problem. Then she heard the verbal argument.
"How bout I put a couple of burn scars on you Sparklebutt. See if your furball girlfriend thinks you're so cute then!"
"Oh ya, when I get through with you, you'll be so messed up that you won't be able to walk, let alone cat-call."
Lilo put her hand to her mouth and giggled. Nobody's attacking; Sparky and Heat are just taking their frustrations out on each other. Well who am I to keep them waiting? Let's get this show on the road. Kixx should be back with Victoria at any moment, and so I'll go ahead and get everything started. She walked into the holding room where her family was still passed out. "Aww… aren't they so cute when they are sleeping?" she said as she got out her small remote. "Better turn it down, don't want to kill them. At least not until they hear my offer. On second thought, they'll live." she said as she pressed a button. Each one of them awoke with a shock, literally.
"Ahh… what's…what's going on?" Nani said as she got up.
"What is with all the shocking?" Jumba said as he too woke up.
Pleakly shot straight off the floor and landed on his face. This got a giggle from their captor.
Seeing that her family was awake, she turned to face her former best friend, Stitch. "Wake up Stitch; it's time for the big surprise." She said as she tapped on the glass. Stitch didn't have a shock collar, there wasn't a point to him having one, it wouldn't hurt him and he could just rip it off. So instead she took out another small device that looked like a small satellite dish and flipped the switch. "The hypersonic waves this generates should get him up in a hurry." she said as she watched Stitch not only wake up, but cover his ears from the piercing noise. To him, it sounded like a sonic boom. She flipped the switch back down. "Well, now that you are all up, we can get started."
"Started on what?" Pleakly said as he pulled himself off the ground.
"Why, the end of the world of course." Lilo replied causally.
"What?" Nani screamed.
"Why do you think I brought all of you here? So you wouldn't die in the ensuing chaos."
"Well that was nice of you," said Pleakly, "Wait, I thought you were evil? And why do you want to destroy the world anyway?"
Lilo just laughed at him. "I figured you weren't bright, but that was the stupidest question I think you have ever asked. Of course I'm evil. I thought you would have figured that out after my deception and my locking you up."
"Actually, am thinking shock collars are bigger giveaway." Jumba said.
"See Pleakly, that's why Jumba's the smart one." Lilo said, continuing to laugh him.
Nani then turned to face her sister. "Why did you bring us here? Do you just want to kill us yourself?" she said, sadness and fear in her voice.
"Well I see the collars have done their job. I like that passive tone Nani, keep it up and I think the rest of our lives together will go smoothly."
"You mean, you're not going to kill us?" Pleakly said.
"Not if you cooperate. Which I'm sure you will, cause I've made it so you don't have a choice."
At those words, Stitch realized what Lilo was going to do. After she turned him back to evil, she was going to do the same to the rest of her ohana.
"No, Lilo, please. Don't do it." Stitch said pleadingly.
Lilo turned to face him. "Oh so you figured it out huh? That I'm going to give them the same gift I'm going to give you? Not to mention the rest of the experiments?"
Then it clicked in Jumba's head. Well, at least will be able to call self evil genius once again without telling fib. "And how are you going to be doing that to every experiment on island without affecting humans?"
Lilo then turned to him with a smirk on her face. "And you figured it out too Jumba! If this keeps up, I won't even have to tell you about my gift, you will have already figured it out! On second thought, Pleakly probably won't. Too bad my gift doesn't help with brains."
"Hey I'm intelligent, I just have no clue what's you are going to do to us." Pleakly said defending himself. In response, Lilo took out the remote for the collars and shocked Pleakly. Pleakly fell to the ground screaming.
"Pleakly, you never have any clue. Now I guess you understand that I don't like back talk."
"What 'gift'?" Nani screamed out, not caring that Lilo would probably shock her unconscious.
But to her surprise, Lilo merely turned to her and said "Don't be so impatient. As soon as Kixx comes back with Victoria, I'll give you your gift. In fact, I'll even give it to you first, Nani. Before anyone else."
"What gift?" Nani repeated. To her surprise, Stitch answered her.
"She's going to make us all evil. Just like herself." he said in a depressed tone.
Nani's face turned to one of pure shock and fear. "No…no you can't! Why would you do that to us? That's not a gift! That might be worse than dying!"
Lilo gave out a small laugh. "Oh Nani, don't be so dramatic. It's not that bad. In fact, it's far better that your current state. As to why, I wish to keep you around. And so you won't suffer as I destroy the world, I decided to free you of your inhabitations, just as I have been. Of course I have a method of keeping you in check, but that won't matter until such an occasion comes up."
Nani just slumped down in the corner. The world's going to be destroyed, and I won't even be able to care. Because my sister is going to turn us into evil monsters just like herself. This is a nightmare.
Stitch, seeing Nani slump into a corner, ready to cry for what might be the last time, resolved to himself that he would stop Lilo before she was able to carry out her plans. He didn't know how, but he would stop her. He looked around the room until he spotted the release override for the containers. Unfortunately it was on the other side of the room, near where Lilo had came in. How am I going to get to the release switch? I could try to tear out the metal beneath me, but I bet it's reinforced. But I have to get out of here somehow. I need a miracle.
The miracle Stitch needed was hiding in the ducts. 625 and Shush had found the room that held everyone save Myrtle and her posse, who 625 had saw on the in. They had been hurt pretty badly, but at least they weren't going to have to suffer the fate that was in store for Lilo's ohana. Man this kid's really gone off the deep end. Not only is she going to destroy the Earth, but she's going to share her 'gift' of evil with her family. How am I going to rescue Angel with the little psycho in the room. I wish I could get a distraction.
That distraction, going by the names Victoria and Snooty, were trying to figure out how to reprogram Lilo's evil machine.
"Snooty, I can't read any of this, can you?" Victoria said to her partner.
Snooty nodded his head.
"Ok, where is the control to play Angel's song?" Victoria asked as she looked around the large machine.
Snooty flew over and pointed at Jumba's computer, which was hooked up to wires. He pointed to the program on the screen.
"Ok, now how do I reverse it?" Victoria said as she messed with the menus.
When she highlighted a certain command, Snooty made a small screech. Victoria took that as a sign that she had found the right control. "Ok here goes nothing." she as she activated the command. Sure enough, the arrow that represented play turned around to represent backwards mode. "Ok, here we go. Snooty, activate the speakers."
As Snooty flipped the switch to activate the amplifier, Victoria hit play. "I can't hear anything Snooty!" Victoria said worried. Snooty was flying around and around, as if celebrating, however, which Victoria understood as "It's working!" This eased Victoria's fears that they failed. Unfortunately, she now had other things to worry about.
As Lilo was explaining her plan to her captives, she heard sounds coming from the other room that sounded like screeching. She was about to go investigate, but just then Kixx returned. He told her he couldn't find Victoria. She wasn't at home and neither was Snooty. Stitch's heart lightened. He had heard the screeching too. Then he heard it: Angel's song being sung backwards! It was Snooty and Victoria! Somehow they'd found out about Lilo's plan and came to stop her. He saw as Kixx's expression returned to normal.
"Hey, I'm not evil anymore!" he cried. He turned to restrain Lilo, but she was already out of the room and headed to the amplifier.
"Hey get us out of here!" Stitch yelled.
Kixx went to the release and slammed the button. The doors lifted on the containment units. Kixx then turned around and smashed Angel's container, freeing her as well.
"Now to undo my mistake." she said as she ran after Lilo. As she ran, she saw what was almost a blue blur shoot past her.
"Let's do this together, Stitch." she said as she picked up the pace. "Let me help you get back your true love."
Of all the people who were elated at the moment, only one showed concern: 625. "Hey Shush, if only experiments can hear that machine, how come the little girl hears it? And how come she didn't go back to being good?" Shush just shrugged his shoulders, but had a worried look on his face as well. "We better get back to the other room so we can see what's going on." Shush just nodded his head as the two headed back through the ducts.
Meanwhile, outside Sparky and Heat have stopped fighting.
"Man, sorry about that. You know, making fun of you and your girlfriend." Heat said.
"It's okay, sorry about the dateless comment. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to even get Clip to give me the time of day."
Nosy walked up to them and reminded them that they had bigger problems. "Umm… you two may be good again, but what about Lilo? She still has the others captive."
This got their attention. "You're right, we have to go help!" Sparky said, realizing that their was still trouble.
"Yeah, Angel's evil song made Lilo as crazy as it made her evil. They are going to need all the help they can get." Heat said as he and Sparky took off. With that the pair rushed inside to help their cousin.
Lilo entered the amplifier room to find what she expected to find.
"Well, well Victoria, glad you could join us. I just wish you hadn't gone and messed with my plans. Now I guess I just have to show you what happens when people cross me." Lilo said as she prepared to fire a blaster.
Victoria turned to face her friend, and saw her with a gun. "Lilo, listen to me, you don't know what you are doing. You're not evil. I know, you're my best friend!" she said as she backed away from Lilo.
"Friends don't ruin other friend's plans, Victoria. But don't worry, after a little correction, I'll be able to forgive you." she said, pulling the trigger.
Before the blast was able to strike Victoria, something blue and fluffy flipped over Lilo and deflected it.
"Stitch." was all Victoria was able to say.
"It's over Lilo. Now you're going to be okay, you are going back to the way you were."
Lilo just laughed at him. "And how do you plan to do that?" she said as she aimed her blaster at the computer and fired. The blast hit the computer and melted it. "No more computer, no more song, because I already destroyed the Mp3 player that I used to turn Sparky, Heat, and Kixx." Lilo said with a grin.
"Uh huh, and now you can't make the experiments evil." Stitch retorted.
"And we don't need the computer, when we have the real thing!" said a voice from behind. "Stitch, hold her down!" yelled Angel.
Lilo's face changed from a grin to a look of shock.
"No!" she yelled as she dropped the blaster and ran. Stitch was able to leap and grab a hold of her.
"Oh no you don't." he said as he held her down. "This is for your own good."
Lilo began to scream and yell as Stitch held her in place.
"Now Angel!" Stitch cried out.
To tell the truth, Stitch would have never believed Lilo was this strong, he was having a bit of trouble holding her. He would have wondered more about it, but at that moment Angel began to sing. Angel sang her song backwards, and at the end of it, Lilo stopped struggling. A tear began to form in Stitch's eye. "Lilo?" he said as he got off of her.
"Stitch, oh Stitch I'm so sorry!" Lilo said as she embraced him. Just at that moment Nani and the others entered the room. They didn't have their shock collars anymore, Sparky and Kixx had removed them. Nani saw Lilo crying in Stitch's arms.
"LILO!" she screamed as she raced to her sister's side.
"NANI!" Lilo replied as she let go of Stitch to meet her sister. They embraced.
"Lilo, you had me so scared. I don't know what I would have done if we hadn't been able to turn you back."
Lilo looked into her sister's eyes. "Nani, do you forgive me?"
"Well of course, Lilo, you weren't in your right mind when you did those things."
Lilo gave a grin, a grin that someone who wasn't as emotional as Nani would have seen as bad. "Nani, will you forgive me for what I'm going to do now?" she said.
"What do you…" was all Nani got out before her expression went blank, and then into an evil grin.
"What's going on?" Pleakly said as he turned to Jumba.
Jumba's face was one of pure horror. "No, is worst fear coming true."
Nani, in a flash, picked up the blaster on the floor and pointed it and Jumba and Pleakly.
"One move, and I fire." Nani said as she put her finger on the trigger.
Stitch saw this and was horrified as well. What happened, what is Nani doing?
Angel saw the look on Lilo's face. No! Why didn't my song work? Why is she still evil? And what did she do to her sister?
"Well Jumba, I think your serum was a complete success, don't you think?" Lilo said as she stepped from behind her sister. She turned her gaze to Heat and then Kixx. Both took on blank looks followed by mean ones. "The gaze power works perfectly, and I bet the others work just as well."
Pleakly was now ready to wet himself. "Jumba," he said in a frightened voice, "what's going on?"
"Yeah Jumba, tell everyone about your latest creation." Lilo said as she looked menacingly at him.
Victoria was starting to back away from Lilo.
"Stay right where you are Victoria, Kixx, make sure Victoria doesn't go anywhere."
Kixx leapt in response to his master's command and landed right in front of Victoria, causing her to scream.
"Now Jumba, tell everyone about your newest experiment."
These words shocked Stitch more than any other words he had ever heard. Jumba hung his head down. "Sigh, I created serum so little girl could be with 626 as long as he would live. Created it to turn her into experiment with powers able to keep other experiments under control incase they went rouge. But went overboard. Now has greater power than any experiment I have ever created. I'm sorry 626, did not plan for this to happen."
Stitch was now shocked beyond belief. "But she still looks like Lilo! How is she an experiment?"
"Why that's simple Stitch. I have self-transmogrification as an ability. Now let me show you all the new me." As she said those words, light began to envelop her form. The light slowly shrank to the size of an experiment and disappeared.
There stood a black experiment with the same body type as Angel, save the fact it had no white design on it's chest and the fact it's chest fur was a blood red. Its eyes were surrounded with the same color fur and it had feminine eyelashes. It had antennas like Stitch's, but instead of spines, it had long hair that flowed down its back, beginning just at the antennas. Its ears were the same as Stitch's, but it had no extra arms. Then the experiment arched its back and black feathery wings grew from it's shoulders that were as long as it was tall. The wings parted the experiments hair away as it straightened itself up.
To say that this came as a shock to Stitch was the world's greatest understatement. She's so beautiful. And yet I'm scared almost beyond reason. If Lilo is as powerful as Jumba says she is, then I don't stand a chance. But I have to try.
Pleased with the reaction she received from the sight of her new form, she spun around so everyone could see everything. She then smiled as she proclaimed "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lilith. And soon the entire galaxy shall fear my power."
