AOE Saga: Morph's Hexagon
Chapter 5: Rampage
When the immobilization ray wore off, Draco and Chip summoned everyone for an emergency meeting. When everyone arrived, Draco and Chip told the bad news about Virustoxico, EnigMorph, and the virus pods. And to top it all off, the engines had been damaged during the battle and couldn't run. So Chip activated the beacon signal and hoped someone would find them.
Fortunately, someone did find them and it wasn't an enemy. A small spacecraft flew to the BiNebular and sent a message through the ship's communicator with a very familiar voice. "This is the timeship, Ohana. Are you friends or foes?" "Lilo, is that you?" "Draco? What are you doing here?" "We launched the BiNebular when we heard what happened to you. How are you and Stitch?" "We're fine, but it looks like you could you some help." "We do, won't you come aboard?" The timeship flew over to an airlock and docked there. Draco, Chip, and the Morphs went to the airlock. When the door opened, Draco and Chip really surprised. PlasMorph didn't react at all and the other Morphs had never seen Lilo or Stitch before. Stitch was the same since the last time they saw him. Lilo however was like what Jumba described, just like Angel except she was yellow and had no symbol on her chest. There were more travelers that Draco and Chip had never seen before. One looked like Clip except green and had no bow. Another looked exactly like Stitch except orange. Another looked like Angel except red with green eyes and no chest symbol. The only human from the Ohana was a 19 year-old boy with black hair, glasses, a NASA cap, a black T-shirt, cargo style jeans, and sneakers. He had what looked like a fancy digital watch on his left wrist. On his right arm was an armband that had a technological look to it. The new people were introduced: the green Clip was Akira, the orange Stitch was Rick, the red Angel was Kala, and the human was Matt. Soon everyone had introduced himself or herself. The Morphs had to be explained a bit to Lilo and Stitch.
Then Draco and Chip told the bad news about what happened. Akira thought and asked, "What did Virustoxico look like?" To answer her question, Chip made a hologram of Virustoxico. "That's the guy that stole the Virus-627 pod!" said Matt. "What?" cried Draco and Chip. Matt explained that the Ohana was attacked Virustoxico had come aboard. They knocked out Lilo and Stitch before they had a chance to look at them and stunned the rest of them. For some reason, Virustoxico didn't harm the Ohana at all. They had been chasing them when they found the BiNebular. "Now they have all of the virus clones and EnigMorph," groaned Chip. "And who knows what they are doing to him right now."
In another part of the galaxy, Virustoxico had arrived at a secret laboratory base. They had sent a message to Emperor Hamsterviel about the success of their missions. Hamsterviel was so delighted; he promoted them to General on the spot. The virus pods were placed in a lab with the Virus-Angel pod. For some reason, the DNA samples from Draco and Chip were put in the same room. Virustoxico took EnigMorph to another lab and put him in a sealed cage. They ordered the scientists to turn EnigMorph evil while they took care of some business in the lab with the virus pods in it. By this time, EnigMorph was wide-awake and was trying to escape. But the cage was made of a very hard metal and he could not break it. The scientists started hooking EnigMorph up to some machines but he struggled too much. Then they had wires and tubes embed themselves in EnigMorph's body. The strain of all the technology on EnigMorph was too much for him. The scientists ignored the obvious danger signs and proceeded at full speed. Then deep inside the confines of EnigMorph's brain, something snapped.
EnigMorph went berserk and hammered at the walls of his cage. Then he used a series of blasts to shatter the metal. Once free, EnigMorph started attacking everything around him, living or non-living. The massive experiment broke free of the room and started racing down the hallways. Something in his mind made him stop at one room and grab an experiment pod in there. He then charged through the walls to the exit. Virustoxico loomed up in front of him. "Stop right there, EnigMorph!" EnigMorph roared in defiance. "All right, you asked for it!" Virustoxico sent a volley of plasma and laser shots at EnigMorph. EnigMorph reflected them all and smashed Virustoxico into a wall with a large fist. He then blasted out of the base and grabbed a fighter ship. He entered its systems and took off. The fighter ships were launched and sent after EnigMorph. EnigMorph pulled of the same stunts that Stitch did we he escaped and then activated his hyperdrive. The other fighter ships flew back to the base to avoid the explosion of energy from the ship when it went into hyperspace. In a few seconds, EnigMorph disappeared leaving only shock-waves that struck the laboratory base.
The BiNebular had finished its repairs by this time, thanks to the teamwork of Akira and TechnoMorph. MysticMorph and Matt had experimented to see if they could combine Matt's Time Drive and MysticMorph's TimeScythe. They hadn't any success yet. Lilo had been experimenting with her experiment powers and discovered she could create and control any laser she wanted. Suddenly the ship's sensors picked up EnigMorph's signal. The crew got enough to look at the monitor and see EnigMorph leave hyperspace. His ship crashed down on a nearby asteroid. The BiNebular quickly launched the Ohana with a rescue team to help EnigMorph.
The asteroid they landed on was completely barren of life. The rescue party consisted of Matt, Kala, Lilo, Stitch, Draco, Chip, and the Morphs. The group found the wreak of the fighter ship. They found EnigMorph's tracks, but because of the fact that EnigMorph had elephantine toes all around each of his four feet, the tracks were hard to follow. PlasMorph turned into Finder to help out with the tracking. They eventually came upon a cave. They could all hear monstrous noises coming from the cave. They waited until they were all safely behind a boulder before they called EnigMorph's name. There was a scuffling inside the cave and EnigMorph came barging out. There were several machine parts attached to his body with tubes and wires. The unceasing color roulette of EnigMorph's eyes made it clear that he was far from sane or safe. The other Morphs slowly came from behind the boulder. EnigMorph sprang at them but the Morphs dodged him. EnigMorph made another grab but then he was stopped. A bluish glow had surrounded his body. Everyone looked for an explanation and then looked at Matt. He had deactivated the armband and had turned into his experiment form. He looked like Stitch except black with sky-blue eyes. He was holding his arms out with his hands outstretched. The hands were glowing the same blue as EnigMorph was. "What's going on?" asked Draco. Lilo answered him; "Matt's experiment ability is the power to control plasma of any form. He's using his powers to freeze EnigMorph but I don't think he can hold him for long."
MysticMorph grabbed EnigMorph's arms. MegaMorph made a grab for EnigMorph's legs. TechnoMorph jumped onto EnigMorph's back. And EnviroMorph seized EnigMorph's tail. Then PlasMorph climbed onto EnigMorph's head and looked into EnigMorph's eyes. The color switching of EnigMorph's eyes seemed to slow down and his body calmed down. Then all six Morphs were surrounded by multicolored light and strange music was heard. EnigMorph's eyes settled upon their emotional state. Then the light and music stopped. When everyone was sure it was safe, they crawled out from behind the boulder and pulled of all the machine parts from EnigMorph. He relaxed and the other Morphs jumped off of him. "Sorry about that," said EnigMorph. "That's okay," said PlasMorph. "What happened to you?" "Emperor Hamsterviel had his scientists try to turn me evil. The strain caused me to snap and go on a rampage."
Suddenly EnigMorph remembered something. "I found an experiment pod at the lab I was being held at." He uncurled one of his tentacle-fingers. Resting on a suction cup was a blue pod with the number, "624" on it. Stitch yelped with delight and grabbed the pod. He then looked around for a source of water. Finding none, he went over to Draco and opened him his ice mouth. He then hit Draco in the guts causing Draco to breathe out ice on the pod. Stitch then had Lilo use one of her lasers to thaw the ice and get the pod wet. The pod activated and released Angel. Stitch and Angel immediately embraced each other. Everyone was happy at the sight except for Draco who was rubbing his belly where Stitch had elbowed him. "You could have asked," Draco muttered to himself.
Then Chip spoke up, "I think the only thing we have to do now is return Lilo to normal." "But we don't know where Viral Angel is," said Kala. "Actually, Virustoxico had brought the virus pods with them into the lab I was taken to. I bet the Virus-Angel pod is there too," said EnigMorph. "Can you lead us back to the lab?" asked Matt who had just reactivated his armband. "Sure, no problem." Then the gang headed back to the ship.
Meanwhile, Emperor Hamsterviel was yelling at Virustoxico. "You idiots!" yelled the gerbil-like monarch. "You let EnigMorph escape. I could have used him to wipe out the rest of the Resistance and take over the whole multiverse!" "But we managed to get a DNA sample from him. We can't virus-clone it but we can use it to make a virus-clone of PlasMorph. In fact, we're ready to start Project: Shadow." This made Hamsterviel stop. "You have already gotten all the things you need?" "Yes. In fact, sir, we've even got DNA samples from Draco and Chip. Shall we begin the process?" "Yes and when you're finished, I want you to test them out on their original counterparts. Do you understand?" "Perfectly sir," said Virustoxico. After Hamsterviel signed off, Virustoxico went to the lab with the virus pods in them. They grabbed the pod and put them each into a different machine that each looked like a plasma chamber for creating experiments.Then they grabbed the DNA samples from Draco, Chip, and Morph and put them each into their own machines. "Let the creation begin," said Virustoxico and flipped a switch. Black energy lit up the chambers as the machines began to work.
