Chapter 5: Reinforcements

Red Moon had thrown the entire island into perpetual night. The only light came from the glow of the moon, which still had that blood red color. Everyone on the island has been turned into either a vampire or werewolf. But there was some good news. Red Moon's spell could only affect mammals, leaving the birds, reptiles, and amphibians to fend for themselves. So all the non-mammalian experiments flocked to the Chateau. The experiments were: Topper, Checkers, Gotchu, Clink, Fudgy, Snafu, Bugby, Poxy, Glitch, Melty, Link, Lax, Spooky, Amnesio, Morpholomew, Hunkahunka, Swapper, Phantasmo, Slimy, Yin, Yang (he's more reptilian than mammalian,) Ploot, Sprout, Thrasher, Sinker, Slugger, and Plasmoid. Hiding all the experiments in the Chateau was one thing, keeping them in order was quite another. It was only a matter of time before Red Moon's minions found them. So a scouting party was selected by drawing straws. Draco and Chip were chosen, (though Chip had a good feeling that he was tricked into it.)

The two crept about the mountain trying to avoid being detected. Chip tried starting a conversation with Draco but Draco wouldn't speak to him. Draco was still angry at Chip for 'abandoning' their family. Finally Chip said, "Look, I'm sorry I deserted them. But both of my brains were to worried about survival." "You could have at least looked behind to see if they were right behind you," said Draco. "I know, I know, this all my fault. I tried to keep our family together but I ended up splitting it apart. But I promise that we'll find a way to get everyone back." "And how are we going to do that?" asked Draco.

Before Chip could respond they heard a loud groaning. They looked around the corner and saw Red Moon. He was sitting on a rock and holding his stomach. His black face was tinged with green. Piton Toxico was hovering near him. "I think I'm going to throw up," groaned Red Moon. "I warned you about that little blob," said Piton. Red Moon gave him a glare. Piton hastened to correct his self. "But then again, I'm only a lowly ssslave. And you are the mossst powerful, the mossst evil, the greatessst werepire the world hasss ever known. All of the mossst sssavage monssstersss in the night bow their headsss to you. The heavensss will only do what you command. Ssso sssurely a little indigessstion from a blob will not harm in the leassst." Then Morph's voice came out of Red Moon's stomach. "Now I think I'm going to throw up." Then they heard the certain sounds that proved that Morph had thrown up. Unfortunately for Red Moon, Morph's vomit in his stomach made him even more nauseous. Draco and Chip quickly turned their heads away to avoid the sight. When they looked again they saw Morph sitting in a pile of werepire vomit shivering. Then Draco and Chip ran out to Morph and almost hugged him, but when they saw what he was covered in they quickly changed their minds. Red Moon glared down at Morph. "You have given me the worst indigestion of my life! I haven't felt that sick since I ate Jimmy Hoffa!" Then he turned to Draco and Chip. "And you two have escaped my spell. I cannot abide creatures wondering about free on my domain. There either be under my control or six feet underground." Red Moon flapped his wings and rose into the air. "This time I'll blast you out of existence!" he roared. He lifted his hands up and a ball of red energy formed between his fingers. Red Moon focused the energy at Draco, Chip, and Morph and prepared to fire.

Suddenly a larger shape crashed head-on into Red Moon. The two figures dropped out of the sky and crashed into the mountain. After a few seconds, they rose back into the air and began to do battle. The creature that was opposing Red Moon was unrecognizable at the moment because the clouds were covering the moon, but it looked awfully familiar. They were both at a stalemate when Red Moon flew off. Pitn hastily joined him. "This isn't the end experiments," yelled Red Moon. "I'll have my army hunt you all down until every last one of you is dead." With that he flew off towards the forest with Piton following closely. The creature that confronted Red Moon landed next to Draco, Chip, and Morph. The clouds parted and the moon shone down upon the mountainside. Then they all saw very familiar parts on the creature. A mane of snake-like antennas, long arms ending in three-fingered hands, four long spikes on its back, and two pairs of eyes of red, blue, and green color. "EnigMorph!" cried the trio. EnigMorph grinned and looked at PlasMorph. "I have been searching the entire island for you. Where have you been?" He sniffed PlasMorph and recoiled. "And where have you been?" "Believe me, you don't want to know," said Draco. "What brings you back here?" asked Chip. "I've heard that Red Moon had claimed an island of his own. I wasn't that concerned until I heard that his new hench-snake had pointed it out for him. I flew back to see if you were alright." "Why didn't you use your Chateau portal?" asked Chip. "I was to worried about my other side to go back to the Chateau." "Can we go back now?" asked Morph. "I really need something to eat." "And we need to wash that who-know-what off of you," said Draco. "Not that anyone wants to know."

Red Moon and Pitn arrived at Red Moon's fortress in the heart of the woods. Piton assisted his master to the bathtub so he could wash off the slime from the Morphs. "What was that thing that attacked me?" asked Red Moon. "I believe that wasss another experiment, sssir," said Piton. "Which one was it?" asked Red Moon. "It wass mossst likely the one called EnigMorph. He isss believed to be the mossst powerful of the experimentsss." "Is he good or evil?" "He isss good and won't be easssily tempted to evil." Red Moon thought for a minute and said, "Then send out my Shadow Squad to capture him." Piton was shocked. "The Ssshadow Sssquad? Are you sssure that isss a wisse decisssion?" "There isn't any other group who can put that thing under control." "I underssstand massster, I hear and obey." Then Piton flew off to rouse the Shadow Squad. After hearing the mission the six minions that were the Shadow Squad ran out of the fortress to attack EnigMorph and the experiments that were with him.

The experiments had stopped at a hot spring to scrub PlasMorph off. It wasn't really so difficult as Morph had no hair for the bile to stick in. They were about to leave when two strange songs drifted through the trees nearby. They were both very enchanting but one sounded a bit garbled. Draco recognized the garbled song instantly and yelled, "Everyone, cover your ears!" Everyone did so immediately and the songs were blocked out. Chip switched his eye to night vision and scanned the trees. He saw three figures in the branches and three near the bases. Chip used his extra arms to zap the figures in the tree and the songs stopped. When the group uncovered their ears they noticed that vicious growling had replaced the enchanting music. Then three wolves ran out of the forest and leaped onto the group. Draco threw the wolf on him off easily, but not without noticing the peculiar yellow color in the wolf's fur. A wolf with bluish fur was attacking EnigMorph. He threw the wolf against a rock but the wolf just shook itself off and attacked again. Chip was pinned under a red-furred wolf with two heads. This wolf looked especially hungry. Chip tried reasoning with it. "You don't want to eat me. I'm not even made of flesh, I'm metal. And my veins aren't filled with blood, they're filled with…" The red wolf, ignoring the warning, grabbed two of Chip's arms and bit into them. The wolf received a blast of electricity through its body and became unconscious. "Electricity," wheezed Chip as he finished the sentence. Just as the group was beginning to recover from the attack, three screaming creatures leaped out of trees and grabbed PlasMorph. Thinking quickly, (well just thinking) PlasMorph turned into Hoilo and swallowed the three creatures. He then spat them out in capture containers. Just then Chip quickly used what was left of his energy to capture the wolves.

With the excitement of being ambushed over with the group looked at their attackers and instantly recognized the monsters they had captured: they were Angel, Deli, Lilo, Stitch, Victoria, and 627. Deli, Stitch, and 627 were all werewolves while Angel, Lilo, and Victoria were all vampires. PlasMorph started weeping, "We're too late to save them," he cried. "We'll have to put them out of their misery," said Draco lifting up his prism sword. "Not necessarily," said EnigMorph. He turned the claw on each of his fingers into a hypodermic needle. He opened the containers and injected all of their occupants with a silver liquid. The ex-experiments thrashed, screamed, and foamed in the mouth before they eventually fell asleep. Then, before the eyes of Draco, Chip, and PlasMorph, the ex-experiments turned back into their normal experiment selves. "What was that stuff?" asked Chip. "An experimental cure for lycanthropy and vampirism. I purchased it from an alchemist who was seeking to stop those two plagues. I've eaten all the ingredients for it in large quantities so we'll not run out." EnigMorph then picked up all of his cousins and warped back to the Chateau with them.

Red Moon felt a leak in his power. He knew at that instant, that he had somehow lost control of his Shadow Squad. "Piton!" bellowed Red Moon. Piton quickly appeared. "What isss it, massster?" "I sense that I have lost control over the Shadow Squad. Have your spies find the meaning of it." "Yesss massster," said Piton and flew away for a few moments. When Piton came back he had worried expressions on all of his faces. "Sssir, it appearsss that EnigMorph hasss, um, freed the Shadow Squad from your ssspell." "What!" roared the werepire. Piton hid behind a tree and continued, "He hasss a ssserum that can cure both lycanthropy and vampirisssm." Red Moon splintered the tree Piton was hiding behind before anyone could blink an eye. "Those were my best warriors! And now I wager that he'll use that serum of his on everyone else under my control!" "He won't ussse it on me, sssir," said Piton. "You're not under my spell, just my servitude. Those experiments will free every vampire and werewolf on this island! And then they will come after me!" "What should we do, massster?" Red Moon thought for a moment, "Prepare my fortress soldiers for assault and increase the defenses. Then have every vampire and werewolf find, attack, and kill every experiment that isn't under my control."

An emergency meeting was made in the stage room of the Chateau. Every experiment that was free of Red Moon's control was there. On the stage stood Lilo, Victoria, Angel, Deli, Stitch, Draco, Chip, PlasMorph, and EnigMorph. 627 had been re-dehydrated and put back in his safe. Lilo approached the podium and spoke into the microphone. "The reason for this meeting is to inform everyone about the crisis at hand. Vampires and werewolves have overrun our beautiful island. They are lead by a werepire called Red Moon the Uncrushable. I have read a few things about werepires and from what I have read, they're no laughing matter. Red Moon in particular is the worst. Legend has it that he was created by the Devil himself in an attempt to take over heaven. However Red Moon was to wild and savage to obey the Devil so he cast Red Moon out into the mortal world. Legend also has it that Red Moon is the origin of vampirism and lycanthropy. And to make matters worse, Red Moon is being assisted by Piton Toxico, an enemy we are all familiar of. However there is some good news, EnigMorph has returned to us and has brought with him a serum that will cure Red Moon's curse. So we are going to go out and beat Red Moon." Here many experiments made protests, excuses, and objections. "I know, I know, this mission doesn't sound safe or fun at all," continued Lilo. "But think about it: This island has been the home of many brave Hawaiian warriors in the distant past. Would they turn down the challenge? No. They would have been scared to do it but they would have done it. We must act in the same way. You may say that we aren't really Hawaiian, you may say we aren't even from Earth, you may say that we aren't even natural. You are right about that but you are wrong about one thing. This island is our home and we should protect from all forms of evil. Remember ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. And we're not leaving anyone on this island in the hands of Red Moon." During Lilo's speech, PlasMorph had playing "The Star-Spangled Banner" on her record player and had just finished up when Lilo finished her speech. "Nice touch, PlasMorph," said Chip. "You're welcome," said PlasMorph. Then Chip walked up to the podium and put on a military helmet. "Alright troops," said Chip in a military fashion, "here's the plan."
