Alien Ohana Extensions:

Morph's Second Side

Chapter 4: Experiment 630.2

Jumba carried Morph to his ship. The rest followed. Lilo, Stitch, Pleakley, Nani, and David all remembered when Stitch got a glitch all too well. Draco and Chip weren't there but they heard all about it. Jumba was pestered with several questions, "What's wrong with Morph? Does he have Stitch's glitch? Will he turn evil?" Presently they arrived at Jumba's lab. Jumba took a sample of Morph's plasma and inserted it into the computer. "Now we will see what is wrong," said Jumba and pushed the scan button.

An image of Morph's plasma appeared on the computer screen. The word "SCANNING" appeared in big red letters. It took only a few seconds then another image appeared on the screen. They all expected the chart that showed Morph's molecular energy level. But instead a different type of chart appeared. It was a horizontal bar with a smaller vertical bar in it. The smaller bar acted as a marker and was slowly moving towards the right. There were two experiment images on either side of the chart. On the left where the marker was moving away from, there was an image of Morph with the number "630.1" under it. On the right where the marker was moving towards was an image of an experiment that they haven't seen before. It had the same patch on its belly where Morph's computer screen was. It had four legs and two arms. The arms were long like a gorilla's that ended in three-fingered hands. It had a long thick tail with two pincer-like claws on the end. Its head had a mess of snake-like antennae and four eyes. Under it was the number "630.2" under it.

"Could it really be," said Jumba with wonder. "It has the right shape, so perhaps it is, wait what is this?" Jumba tapped on a few more keys. The computer displayed a close-up of the new experiment's eyes. There was also a wheel with a marker on the bottom and three colors going in a clockwork pattern; red, blue, and green. The lower two eyes matched the color that was on the marker. The upper two eyes were the same colors as the colors that weren't on the marker. Right now the colors were blue on the bottom, red on the upper right, (the experiment's right,) and green on the upper left. Information was displayed in an alien language that Lilo, Nani, and David couldn't read. Jumba tapped another key and the colors rotated until green was on the bottom, blue was on the upper right, and red was on the upper left which was the same color formation Morph's eyes were a few minutes ago. Different information was displayed in the same language. Jumba tapped another key and the colors rotated until red was on the bottom, green was on the upper right, and blue was on the upper right. Immediately a warning sign flared and different information was revealed. "No, No, THAT IDIOT HAMSTERVIEL!" shouted Jumba as he pounded on the empty part of the keyboard. "I hoped this would never happen." "What would never happen?" asked Lilo. "What is wrong with Morph?" Jumba looked at her. "As you all recall, Hamsterviel tampered with Morph's genetic templates," he said as the flashback began.

Hamsterviel's robot held up a beaker full of a black substance. "In this beaker is the DNA of the nastiest and most evil creatures in the galaxy. I even added my own and Gantu's for extra spice." The robot then inserted the beaker's contents into the machine. The gray substance inside turned to a black color. "Now when 6-3-0 is created, it will be an evil monster that will obey only me. And I already have three commands for it; One, to destroy you interfering do-gooders. Two, capture all the experiments on this stupid island. Three, take over the universe and put me on the throne!" Here he broke out in evil laughter until he started coughing. "Blasted hairballs!" Then the robot pushed the button that started the creation process. The Gang watched helplessly as the plasma pumped into the chamber it engulfed the TechPack that was laying there. Then the formula containing the DNA was injected into the plasma. Hamsterviel rubbed his paws with glee as the plasma finished loading into the creation chamber. ("But fortunately the whole Morph I accidentally got instead of the sample somehow got into the plasma chamber and negated the effects of Hamsterviel's formula," said Jumba.) "WARNING! WARNING! Unauthorized plasma-based shape-shifter inside creation chamber!" beeped the computer. "What! What shape-shifter?" Hamsterviel said as looked around for it. Then he saw the Morph floating among the plasma, quite unaware of what was going on. "Hey, you! Get out of there! You'll ruin my experiment!" yelled Hamsterviel through the glass. The Morph just burbled happily not noticing Hamsterviel. "Initiating creation," beeped the computer. "No! Wait! Stop!" cried Hamsterviel in vain. A bolt of green energy went to the plasma. The Morph squealed as it was engulfed by the plasma. The TechPack and the DNA formula were also engulfed by the plasma. Green energy crackled over the plasma as it began change forms. To the surprise of everyone, the plasma took on a white color instead of a gray or black. Hamsterviel pounded on the keyboard trying to stop the creation. But all he did was scheduled the experiment to be dehydrated after it was formed and charged. The plasma was now a white blob twisting and turning into different shapes. Then the plasma took on a final form that no one could see through the energy that was still covering it. Then the computer beeped, "Creation completed, molecular charging completed, dehydrating now." The chamber flashed a bright light that blinded everyone for a few seconds. When everyone could see, they all saw a white ball the size of a ping-pong ball where the plasma used to be. And on that ball was labeled the number, "630."

"And because of that, Morph's original program was rewritten," said Jumba. "At first, I thought that the program I meant Morph to have was deleted. But now I know that it is reactivating." "But why now?" asked Chip. Jumba pondered for a second. "Morph needs to build up his molecular energy to activate his first programming and the power surge he received in the fusion chamber was all the energy he need." "He's not going to destroy the island, is he?" asked Pleakley. "No, Morph's first programming was built so that he would be willing to assist the Galactic Federation." "What's with the pinwheel and the eyes?" asked Draco. "This most interesting and yet worst part," said Jumba. "630.2 will be able to operate his mind in three different ways, each representing the parts of him beside the plasma and the original formula: when blue is at the bottom that means that he is using the emotional side from the Morph which is more sympathetic and tamed, when green is at the bottom that he is using the technical side from the TechPack which thinks like a computer to make calculations. But the last one is the one that worries me the most. When red is at the bottom that means he using the bestial side from Hamsterviel's formula which is meant for combat and it automatically unlocks with anger. When Morph assumes the form of 630.2 for the first time, the bestial side would cause him to destabilize and meltdown if it was used." "And when will Morph become this form?" asked Stitch. Jumba looked at the chart on the computer. "At this rate I'm guessing that it would be 72 hours from this sunset." "You mean in three days and two nights, Morph will have glitches than transform into 630.2 on the third sunset?" said Lilo. "Yes then Morph will be stuck like that for a fortnight. After that, Morph will be able take either his 630.1 form or his 630.2 form whenever he likes. 630.2 has all the combined powers of the experiments and any other creature or person that his DNA contains. The only thing that he would not be able to do is transform back into his 630.1 mode," concluded Jumba.

Morph heard and understood every word. He crawled out of Jumba's arm and left the ship. He went to his room in the Chateau and wrote a list of things to do before he became 630.2
