"Creatures made from pure darkness, serving the realm of light. As if."
The little yellow creature could only stare at him. He looked as if he was in a trance.
"But no matter. In good time, those squirts will be chasing after you, leaving the heartless time to find that keyhole," the man with the eye patch said.
"IIIIIIIII!" A voice said scramming. Stitch was running down the street, point at the man angrily.
"YOU!" Sora said as he and Kairi caught up, summoning their keyblades. He had met this man before.
"Ahh, I see you're still trying to be hero," Braig said, opening a dark corridor. "Don't worry, in due time, you'll play the role you're destined to play."
Sora growled. "Like I would give up like some coward!"
Braig made his way into the corridor. "Toodles," he said as he disappeared. Stitch looked at the yellow creature, then gasped.
"Cousin?!" he yelped. The little yellow laughed easily.
"I sense darkness in him," Kairi said. The monster then zoomed zig-zagidly down the street. Lights from the houses disappeared as he left them.
"Cousin..." Stitch said again sadly as his ears flopped down.
"Sora..." Kairi said worriedly.
"Kairi, don't worry about me right now, I think that creature knows Stitch." Sora walked over to Stitch. "He's your...cousin?"
"Ohana," Stitch said.
"What is that?" Kairi asked.
"Ohana means family."
"Family?"
"Family means nobody gets left behind."
Sora and Kairi looked at each other, and then back to Stich. "Stich," Sora started, "If he is your family, then we will help him. Promise."
"Soooo-rahhh?" Stitch asked, suddenly perking up. Sora smiled as he nodded. "ALOHA!" Stitch yelled as he followed the direction of where the creature ran off to. Sora and Kairi followed.
"...so the big stupid hamster was defeated, and we found the rest of the experiments names and the one true place where they belong," Lilo finished explaining, "And Stitch and I became official intergalactic ambassadors of Hawaii."
"Uhhhhhh..." Rufus said holding his head.
"Uh huh," Krissa said somewhat dumbfounded. Lilo's story gave her a bit of a headache. "And...how old were you at the time?"
"Eight," Lilo answered.
"Wow...and where does the yellow one come in?"
"Experiment 221, aka Sparky. Jumba made him to produce large amounts of electrical currents. He works at the lighthouse."
"And he's gone bad?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out, but none of the other cousins have been affected. He had to have been messed with."
"Hmmmm."
"Lilo!" Stich creamed as he ran down the street.
"Stich, there you are!" Lilo said. Sora and Kairi were behind him
"Stitch?" Krissa asked, "Another experiment?"
"Yep! He lives with me!"
"I see. I know you," Krissa said turning her attention to Sora and Kairi.
"Yeah," Sora answered, "You were that girl at Radiant Garden. Krissa, right?"
"Yep, that would be me. I'm guessing you're with Riku." So it was these guys Merlin was talking about, not Terra and Ventus.
"Yeah. But he's kind of...not here right now."
"Hmmm. I won't even ask."
"Well, I'm Kairi. Nice to meet you."
"The name's Sora!"
"AHEM!" Rufus said as he jumped on Krissa's shoulder.
"Oh, this is Rufus! I'm helping him find his friends."
"Hello there," Kairi said.
"Why is he NAKED?!" Sora exclaimed.
"SORA! That isn't polite!" Kairi said slapping his shoulder.
"Wah! Sorry..." Rufus in turn blew Sora a Raspberry.
"Cousin! III-!" Stitch interrupted, pointing down the street.
"Stitch is right. Let's follow Sparky so we can find out what's wrong with him."
Everybody nodded. "Okay," Krissa said.
"HAHA! MY GENIUS CREATION IS RUNNING ON IT'S ORIGINAL CODING! PROOF MY WORK IS FLAWLESS! HAHA!" A large, fat, alien creature exclaimed. Sparky was jumping around the house madly, knocking down lamps and appliances as it went.
"Are you insane?!" A skinny green alien with several legs and one eye exclaimed. He was also dressed like a woman. "Jumba, it's gone ROUGE! IT WILL DESTROY THE HOUSE!"
"That is a down side Pleakley; however, at least I can take back my pride!"
"Ohhh..." Pleakley said clutching his forehead and shaking his head. Suddenly Sparky crashed into Pleakley, sending a shockwave through his body.
(Shot of the house). "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" (The power can be seen blinking off).
"There might be a problem..." Jumba said.
"So what is up with this Riku guy?" Krissa asked as the group walked down the street.
"What do you mean?" Kairi responded.
"Well, he seemed kind of...controlling when we last met."
"You've got to forgive him," Sora answered, "Riku is protective over everybody he cares about."
"But we don't even know each other. Or at least, not really."
"Let's just put it this way: there is a reason that Riku is the way that he is. Especially this time off year."
"What do you mean?"
Sora explained the events that had taken place over the years, about how Riku had given into the darkness and become possessed, about how darkness took a hold on his heart even we had overcome it, and how he had become a keyblade master and one of the lights that saved the worlds from a man named Xehanort.
"Wow..." Krissa said, "I can see how that is a difficult burden to bear."
"It's sad that he hasn't forgiven himself for what he did many years ago," Kairi said.
"Yeah," Krissa answered, not knowing exactly what to say.
"He is a good guy though," Sora said, "He will always do whatever is necessary to protect his friends, even if it puts his life on the line."
"We think he may have gone to look for you," Kairi said.
"I see." Suddenly, the group heard a scream coming from the distance.
"Pleakley!" Lilo exclaimed, "That was coming from my house!"
"Sparky!" Stich yelled.
"Let's go!"
Okay guys, I am so sorry it took so long to post this. I know I said I would do that Sunday, but I unexpectedly became busy the entire day and I was on Monday and yesterday as well. I also should not have waited so long to post this, but I became really busy with my other stories and life in general.
Anyways, only one more chapter of a Disney world left! I was going to do one more after this, but I decided that world would make more sense in my new Kingdom Hearts III story. It's kind of a prequel to this story, but it doesn't have any OCs and it's what I picture about what could happen in KH3. Make sure to check that out!
Also, please take the poll on my profile page if you haven't already, please and thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all good night! :)
