-1Sorry for the delay in the third chapter everyone. Schoolwork has never been so high as before. I have to read a chapter from six different books every Tuesday and Thursday. That isn't even counting the assignments! Well, sorry for my ranting, but it seems I have to get my life organized right now before writing again. Expect a month delay… --
However, I'm glad for several responses and reviews that were all very encouraging. Now that I have looked at the reviews, it looks like Ri2 has some questions…
"Why is this guy auto-programmed to go to Earth?"
- Well, ultimately I was hoping that everyone would catch on that since all the information was downloaded to earth, naturally E000 would go there because he knew Jumba would be there (I mean, why would Jumba's computer be on earth if he wasn't, right?) Well, sorry for the confusion, but I forgot that readers who are currently reading this story don't know the diabolical purpose of why E000 was created. My bad…, but that information will be revealed in subsequent chapters.
"Jumba had kids! I...can't see him spending enough time with his ex-wife to make them, seeing as how he was busy making 626 experiments to destroy the galaxy…"
- If anyone has watched Lilo & Stitch the Series, my mentality on Jumba's family came from the episode featuring "Sinker". Jumba was quickly trying to create a device for Stitch to do battle with Sinker. As Jumba was gathering materials, Pleakly asked what some of the souvenirs were for in the device. Jumba simply answered that it was for his family back home. But all in all, I would have to agree with you Ri2 that Jumba would not have enough time for his family. Although interestingly enough, the series never mentioned of Jumba having any kids, just an annoying wife.
Well, I hope that clears everything up. Hope everyone enjoys this next chapter!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the conquest of his new ship, E000 draws closer and closer towards the planet earth. All the while his soon to be enemies, Lilo and Stitch were blissfully unaware of the danger encroaching their peaceful island home.
-----
"Hey come back here!"
Lilo shouted as she and her pet alien Stitch were chasing another one of his cousins. This newly unleashed creature was beginning to wreak havoc to the island of Kauai. Following its programming, set by Jumba, experiment 528 was able to create devastating winds that formed into tornadoes. These tornadoes would then destroy enemy camps and render limited visibility. Unfortunately since no specific target was directed to 528, the experiment began to destroy anything in its path. Luckily for the citizens of Kauai the unstoppable duo, Lilo and Stitch were here to save the day…
"WOAH!"
And with Lilo's exclamation, another piece of debris narrowly avoided her. The experiment was very small compared to any other Jumba had created. It had a small, pale green body aerodynamically designed to flow seamlessly through the air with little to no wind resistance. A singular pipe was attached to his head and shaped into a circular diagram. From above, the shape would have closely resembled a yin/yang symbol. One end sucked in air, while the other blasted it out. From Jumba's ingenious design, this experiment was capable of generating winds up to 150 mph.
"Ahh, yes! Experiment 528. I was most evilly creative that day. 528 makes tornadoes and can sustain up to five simultaneously. And for added protection, I designed 528 to automatically maintain wind barrier to prevent physical contact from debris. Small design was to increase evasion rate and to preventing 528 from damaging self from incoming debris. Genius, no?"
Lilo remembered Jumba's words as she and Stitch were trying to subdue their cousin. This experiment was giving them problems even more so than any they have previously encountered. The barrier that 528 had around him prevented Stitch from getting to him. And also, anything Stitch throws 528's way would always be blown to the side. Holding on from being blown away by the tornado, Lilo quickly takes out her walkie talkie to ask for Jumba's advice.
"JUMBA! What are we gonna do? Is there anything you can remember that would help us stop him?"
"I'm sorry little girl, but there is no possible way to stop him… unless…?" Jumba quickly calculated the specifications made on 528 to check for any weaknesses.
"Unless! I thought you said there was no way to stop him!" Lilo shouted. Jumba quickly ran through a possible scenario to stop 528 and stumbled onto a probable solution.
"Ah yes! Little girl! If you can draw 528 into ocean, maybe you can stop him!"
Lilo was baffled by this suggestion and urgently asks Jumba how that could possibly work. "Maybe! How can water stop these tornadoes of death!"
"Simple. If can getting 528 into water, wind resistance increases. When that is happening, 528 will be having strain to keep barrier and tornadoes up. Water in big amount is very heavy. Water lowers 528's concentration and 626 can get him when he does."
"Oh! I get it! It's like when you spin around in circles. It gets you very dizzy, but when you do it in water you can't spin very fast to get dizzy."
"Yes, yes. Now quickly tell 626 before both of you blown to 'nother continent!"
"Roger that Jumba! Over and out!" With the latest information in mind, Lilo shielded her eyes from the stinging winds to try and locate Stitch. But try as she might, Lilo could not see anything with all the dirt being blown into the air.
"Gosh! 528 sure lives up to his programming." Lilo searched fruitlessly through the tempest with no sign of her furry, blue friend. "Stitch! Are you out there! If you can hear me please give a sign!"
"WOAH, WOAH, WOAH, WAAAAAAHHHHH!"
THUMP!
All of a sudden, as if to answer her plea, Stitch flew by and crashes straight into the chained table Lilo was holding onto.
"Stitch! Are you okay!"
"Uhh-huh."
""Quick Stitch, you've got to… AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Because of the crashing into the table, Stitch severely crippled the table's foundation. And at that moment, Lilo's added weight finally caused the table to collapse and shatter.
"LILO!"
"STITCH! HEEELLLP!"
Stitch looked around frantically for something that can save his friend. He searched around and finds a rope. Upon spotting the rope, Stitch recounts on his days practicing to be a champion rodeo star and cowboy (Sprout). Using all the strength he could muster, Stitch clawed the ground step by step to prevent himself from being vacuumed back into the tornado. He finally reached what he sought after and quickly turned around with the lasso in hand. He tied one end of the rope to a pole with the other around his waist and jumped into the maelstrom.
"KAWABUNGA!"
Hurtling towards the ravaging tornado, Stitch uses his x-ray vision to peer into the monstrous winds. He spots Lilo as a faint speck and quickly uses the rotation of the winds to move his way towards her.
"LILO!"
Curled up in a ball, Lilo squints her eyes as she peers through the dust.
"Stitch… is that you!" With the sudden realization of Stitch's close proximity, Lilo happily calls out to her rescuer. "Stitch! You've come to save me!"
"IGABA!"
Stitch slowly made his way towards Lilo, but the winds became more and more fearsome. Experiment 528 noticed Stitch approaching Lilo and tried to steer him off course. Unfortunately for Stitch, the winds that he used to his advantage soon became a double-edged sword. Stitch tried to fight his way through to Lilo, but slowly and surely he was drifting farther away.
"STITCH! I think you're going the wrong way!"
Seeing the hopelessness of this strategy, Stitch quickly thought of another solution. Stitch hastily grabbed the rope tied around his waist and crawled back along the lifeline. Upon exiting the tornado, Stitch had an easier time going back to where he started. Stitch lands onto the ground and begins to run in the direction the tornado's wind was spinning. Running on the outskirts of the tornado, Stitch used all his strength to jump into the air. The winds were powerful enough to lift and catapult him through the air. Fortunately with his supercomputer brain, Stitch calculated his trajectory to intercept Lilo in the tornado. The events unfolded as the rope, which held Stitch began to fully unwind again. Stitch still remained outside of the tornado and braced himself for the force that was coming.
WHIPISSH!
With that ear piercing sound, the rope snapped into a linear position and began to make its way into the center of the tornado. Stitch's calculations proved to be correct. As he was approaching the edge of the tornado, Lilo was in grabbing distance.
"LILO! GRAB HOLD!"
Lilo opened her eyes as she heard Stitch's faint voice through the roaring of the wind. "STITCH! I knew you'd never give up!" Lilo reached out and struggled to grab onto Stitch's outstretched paw. "STITCH! You're too far!" With Lilo's exclamation, Stitch quickly formed his body to create more wind resistance, which would pull him closer towards Lilo. However in doing, Stitch did not realize that he was putting even more strain on the pole with which the rope was attached to.
"OTAKA! OTAKA!"
"GOTCHA! Thanks Stitch!"
"Welcome!"
CRUNCH!… CRASH!… CLANK, CLANK, CLANK…
The pole had all it can take and finally relented to the added weight created by Lilo.
The combined weight of the duo as they were holding on tight to each other hurled them completely out of the tornado and flung them towards the ocean.
"WAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
SPLASSHHHHHH!
Lilo and Stitch bombed into the ocean as they were thrown from the tornado. Experiment 528 realized that his pursuers escaped his tornado and quickly turned around to go after them.
"…… UHHH… cough, cough, cough, cough… cough… cough…"
"…gurgle, gurgle… gurgle, gurgle……"
"STITCH! Hold on! I'll save you!" Lilo quickly dove into the water and searched for her drowning friend. Having been visiting Pudge the fish everyday, Lilo knew this part of the ocean pretty well. She finally eyes Stitch sinking helplessly to the bottom and hurries to rescue him. Lilo quickly swam to shore with Stitch in hand and dragged him onto shore. Lilo pants for breath as she turns to face her furry friend and check for a pulse.
"Stitch! Wake-up! Are you okay?" Lilo rests her head on his chest and checked for signs of breathing. "Oh no! He's not breathing! I've got to give him CPR!" As Lilo placed her hands on Stitch's chest, the slick surf caused her to slip and push her whole body weight on top of him.
"BLECCHHH… cough, gurgle… cough, cough…"
"STITCH! You're alright! I'm glad you're safe!" Lilo hugged her almost fallen friend in a tight embrace.
"…oohh, oohh (moaning)… Lilo? What happened?"
"528 sent us on a flight into the murky depths of the ocean."
BOOM! CRASH!
The sounds of raging winds echoed behind them as trees were torn from their roots. Experiment 528 followed Lilo and Stitch's little flight as he slowly began to approach them.
"Stitch, we better hurry! Jumba said if you can get 528 into the ocean, you'll be able to break his concentration!"
"Okitaka!"
Stitch rushed into action and charged for 528. However, the experiment noticed Stitch coming and blew a gust of wind that blew Stitch back into the shallow edge of the ocean.
"WAHHH!"
GOOSH!
Unceremoniously, Stitch got back to his feet and growled with frustration at 528.
"Bad idea Stitch. If only we can somehow get under all that wind he's making…"
With Lilo's observation, Stitch lit up with an idea. "Ahh!" Smirking at 528, Stitch began to dig underground and soon disappeared in a puff of sand. Lilo peered into the hole and called out after him in her whiney voice.
"Stitch! What are you doing! Don't tell me you're chickening out now!"
And before another word was spoken a sudden crash came near 528. Lilo turned towards 528 and saw Stitch coming out of the sand.
"Oh yeah! Way to go Stitch!"
"Anjiba!"
Stitch closed in on 528 and grabbed him before he can be blown away.
"AUGH!" was all 528 can say when Stitch lift him off his feet. Using his super strength, Stitch tossed 528 into the ocean. 528 splashed into the water as Lilo and Stitch went after him.
"… gurgle… gurgle, splash… cough, cough… cough!" 528 was coughing and gagging from the salt water as Lilo and Stitch slowly crept towards him.
"Gotcha, cousin!"
"Yeah! We caught another experiment. Nice job Stitch! This experiment was a tricky one."
"Yeah."
Lilo looks at 528 and tries to comfort him. "Don't worry little guy, you're safe with us. We're you're Ohana and Ohana always protect each other." 528 begins to become calm and accepting of this new idea of family.
"Hmm… I think I'll call you… Whirly! Would you like that?" Whirly nodded his head and embraced his new family.
"Then it's settled! Welcome to your new Ohana!"
With the newest addition, Stitch happily embraces his new cousin. "Aloha cousin!" Lilo smiles as she saw this, but then looks around the beach and the shoreline.
"Well… before we find your one true place, looks like we need to clean up the mess you made. Can you help us?"
Whirly happily nods and begins work with Lilo and Stitch to clean up the area.
-----
Back at home, Jumba receives a call from Lilo on another successful mission.
"Very good little girl! See you and 626 back home soon!" Jumba placed down the walkie talkie and smiles at the good news. "I can't believe little girl and 626 manage at capturing 528. Simply amazing! Those two will be making good friends for very long time."
In high spirits, Jumba walked back to his room to finish up some research he had started earlier. Upon entering his room shared with Pleakly, he noticed that his computer monitor was flashing. Curious, Jumba sat down in his chair and began to read the flashing message.
"Oh, no…"
