Chapter 3: Old Enemies Return
Chip had arranged for the two parties to meet in one place to resolve the problems. Angel and Stitch talked with Lilo and Deli while Draco conversed with Victoria. Chip and Morph were there, monitoring the situation. Everything was going according to plan and it seemed to be working.
But the stench of smoke and the sound of evil laughter befouled the beautiful atmosphere. They all looked up to see a bellowing cloud of black smoke above their heads. Slowly but surely, it took on the shape of a snake with glowing red eyes. "Greetingsss everyone," hissed the cloud with a voice like hissing steam. "Piton Toxico!" cried Draco unsheathing his prism sword. "Have you come here to try and make me join the Dark Dragon's army again?" "Actually I'm not," hissed the smoke serpent. "After my defeat to you, the Dark Dragon rented me out to another massster." "Rented you out?" questioned Chip. "Yesss. Mossst sssuper-villainsss are willing to trade for better sssidekickssss. It doesssn't matter to me for I've been traded from bad guy to bad guy for cccenturiesss. But then again, my employment is not the only thing that's changed." His form swelled some more and appendages came out. He grew a pair or arms and a pair of wings. The end of his tail developed an arrowhead. His head grew two devil's horns. But the most dramatic changes were that he sprouted several more heads and was now a hydra. "I've been getting a lot energy lately and that allowed me to grow into this." "What does your new master want with us?" asked Lilo. "Nothing yet. I had jussst finissshed a getting a new minion for my massster and thought I'd drop by and said 'hi.'" "I supposed you infected him with another Soul Shade," said Draco. "He wasss dormant when I took him and when awakesss he will ssserve willing without any persssuasssion. And in cassse you're wondering who my new massster isss, check the moon chartsss for tonight." And with that said, he flew off laughing.
"Why that no-good, dirty piece of-," started Draco. But then Morph interrupted him and said, "Draco! Watch your language! There are children present." This cut off Draco's ranting. "I'm a bit concerned about what Pitn said about that 'new minion'," came Angel's question from the silence. "How could you? He didn't give us any description," said Deli. "Well," said Victoria. "He said that he was dormant and he would serve willing without any persuasion." "Now who could that be?" asked Draco. They all put their heads down to think. A minute later all their heads sprang back up, except for Morph who was still thinking. "6-2-7!" they all yelled and began to race to Jumba's ship. But was still pondering about the identity of minion Pitn got. "No, no, couldn't be him," muttered Morph to himself. Then out of no where Chip grabbed him and started to drag him along the path.
When they arrived at Jumba's ship, Jumba and Pleakley were already there. They were both standing in front of the safe, scratching their heads in confusion. "How could this have happen?" asked Pleakley. "And why did they use a smoke bomb?" asked Jumba. Just then the gang came rushing in. "Jumba, what happened?" asked Stitch. "6-2-6, someone has sneaked in hear, let off a smoke bomb, and stole 6-2-7's pod," answered Jumba. "How do you know he let off a smoke bomb?" asked Lilo. "The scent is still in the air." The experiments took a sniff and immediately covered their noses. "It's times like this that I'm glad I don't have a nose," said Chip smugly. "Jumba, that wasn't a smoke bomb," said Lilo. "Piton Toxico stole the pod." "That smoke-serpent is back!" yelled Pleakley. "Well actually, he's more of a smoke-hydra now," said Draco. "What would Dark Dragon want with 6-2-7?" asked Jumba. "Piton isn't working for the Dark Dragon anymore," said Chip. "Then who is he working for?" asked Pleakley. "He didn't tell us. He just said to look at the moon charts for tonight." Jumba walked over to his computer and tapped a few keys. The screen lit up. Jumba tapped in more keys and the screen displayed a picture of the Earth's moon. "Tonight the moon will be entering lunar eclipse," said Jumba. The moon turned red and swallowed itself in darkness. "What does a lunar eclipse have to do with this Piton's new boss?" asked Angel. Suddenly Morph sprang up and said, "Piton stole 6-2-7's pod!" Hearing this, the others gave him a look of disbelief at the slowness of his thinking. "Remind me to be giving 6-3-0 brain boost later," said Jumba. Morph looked at the computer screen. The picture of the moon had reappeared and was shining a blood red. "Ooh, what a pretty red moon there will be tonight." Suddenly Lilo face had a look of worried alertness. "What did you say?" she asked Morph. "Tonight?" asked Morph "No, before that," said Lilo. "Be." "No, three words before that." "Red." "And the one after that?" "Moon." "Say those words together." "Red moon." Lilo sank down to the floor and her ears followed. "Guys, we're in big trouble."
