Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own story, plot, and three experiments: Drea, Slyther, and Master
WARNING: Character Death! Not main ones, but one of the Pre Experiments. Dragonborn, I suggest you skip the beginning and scroll down to 'The next day...' Once again, I'm sorry.
"What? How dare he do this? To the experiments, to us, to me! He will pay oh yes he will pay! I will not rest until his or his girlfriend's blood stains my hands!" Master wailed as he stormed around the place, knocking over furniture as he went. "That senseless, revolting, failure of an experiment! I should reschedule that girl's death a week early. Argh!"
Slyther was shivering in slight terror at the rage in his Master's voice. Drea was there too, right beside Slyther. The silver experiment stared up defiantly at his Master, even though he felt like hiding in the darkest corner of the house.
Master came forth to Slyther. His intense red pupils narrowed sharply. "It's your entire fault you gave me that sickening piece of information. I need to relieve my anger."
Drea let out a small gasp of fright as she realized Master was about to hurt Slyther. Usually, she would sit back and watch heartlessly as he harmed her previous lover. However, she wasn't sure if she should this time. Master seemed very angry and that untamed anger might overwhelm him to the point that he would murder Slyther.
Confidently, Drea stood in front of Slyther. The silver experiment was stunned to see her do that for him, especially since she loathed him. He gazed at Master as he strangled Drea. The violet dragon shrieked in overwhelming pain as his wild powers flowed from his body and into Drea's. The power of her Master's rage engulfed her entire being, causing a bright white light to flash in front of him.
He clenched his eyes shut as the intense light burned in front of him. When he saw dark beyond his black vision, he cracked open his green eye then opened the other one. Master had turned to his room apparently since Drea was the only one left besides him in the room.
He observed her bloody body. During the severe onslaught of Master's powers of fury, the burning energy inflicted serious wounds. She had blood flowing out from her mouth, her ears, and nose. The letters on her chest, Pre 699, darkened to black and had pink blood streaming from the open wound on her chest. Her body was convulsing for it was attempting to recover from her Master's painful rage.
"Drea?" He whispered softly as he crawled to her side. "Drea?"
"Sly-Slyther." She groaned. "Are you okay?"
Okay? She has always hated me just as much as I hate her, she risked her life to save me, and now she's asking if I'm okay. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why did you do that? Why didn't you delight yourself at the fact that Master was about to harm me?" He asked.
She swallowed the miniscule piece of saliva before starting. "Because I love you." He widened his eyes. She reached forward to clutch his hand gently. "Many years ago, you and I were in love. We were buchee-bus and we loved each other very much. However, Master didn't stand for that kind of affection and he made you forget about me. I was upset at first, but then I got over it and moved on. However, even though I try to make myself hate you, I can't seem to forget your soft kiss and your loving touch. I still love you."
Slyther could feel his eyes burn from unshed tears. He was surprised that he was getting emotional because the one he despised with all of his being was dying. "Drea, I had no idea. Please, let me take you to Angel. She'll heal you."
"No Slyther." Drea refused as she smiled at him. "It's better this way. Now that Master has turned to me as his prey, I think I'll be better off dead. I won't have to endure his torture anymore. I can finally be at peace. There is one thing I want from you though Slyther."
"What's that?" He whispered. His voice cracked, but he concealed his tears.
"I want you to say you love me, even if it's not the actual truth. Then, I want to die in your kiss." She responded.
Slyther thought it was going to be rough telling her he loved her since he disliked her so much. Therefore, it was a shock to him that he was able to say the words easily and with meaning. "I love you Drea." Then he bent forward to capture her furry lips with his own. Drea responded to the kiss immediately, bringing her arms around his neck and pulling him close to her. Slyther caressed her sides with his claws gingerly. As they kissed, Slyther could feel Drea's arms weakening until they collapsed on his neck. "Goodbye." He whispered as he pulled away.
He wrapped his arms around her body and carried her upstairs to his old room. He laid her on the cold sheets of his bed. Her repellent stench of death added more to the room's gloomy atmosphere. He leaned over to kiss her forehead tenderly before covering her body with the green sheet. He then swiveled and walked away. All the while, short flashbacks of Drea's death haunted his mind.
The next day, Pleakley had wanted Lilo and Stitch to run to the store to get several of things for dinner. They acquiesced to Pleakley's demand and left the minute after he told them. Lilo and Stitch drove the buggy to the store because they didn't feel like walking. Stitch securely locked the car before grabbing Lilo's hand to lead her inside the store.
The two had to split up so they could gather the groceries faster. Stitch kissed Lilo on the cheek before leaving her to purchase his side of the list. Lilo ran around the store, collecting the food. She became thirsty and noticed that there was a soda machine outside. The water fountain was too far away for her liking. She found Stitch already waiting in line and handed him the money. She tossed her side of the list in the cart filled with Stitch's food. She intervened the woman at the register and told her that her dog, she pointed at Stitch of course, was going to pay for all her groceries. The woman looked at Stitch peculiarly before shrugging and continued ringing up the food.
Lilo informed Stitch she was going outside to buy a soda. She asked if he wanted one to which he replied no. With that, she gave him a smile then left.
Outside, Lilo was about to slip her dollar bill inside the soda machine until a furry hand clasped over her mouth. She smiled because the hand felt so much like Stitch. The person who had his over her mouth dragged her behind the grocery store where no one could be seen. Lilo panicked but then thought that maybe Stitch wanted to have a little boyfriend and girlfriend fun.
He removed his hand then forcefully turned her around. Lilo gasped as her chocolate brown eyes stared directly into those of detestable red eyes. His fur matched the color of her sleek black hair, but it seemed his fur was much darker. He had the figure of Stitch and he was an experiment she had never seen before.
"Lilo Pelekai I presume?" He asked in an almost pleasant voice.
Lilo gulped. "Y-Yes. Who are you?"
"Oh, where are my matters?" He enquired sarcastically. "My experiment name is Pre 701, but you may call me Master."
"Pre 701." Lilo repeated slowly. "I feel as if I've heard about a Pre 700."
Master smiled. "Well, whoever he is doesn't concern with our conversation."
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Lilo asked.
"What curse do you put on the experiments?" He asked. Her face showed confusion, which made him to repeat clearly. "For years, experiments used to be evil, invincible, and powerful. You made them worthless!" Lilo flinched as he yelled at her. He reached out to grasp her arm roughly. "Then you make Experiment 626 fall in love with you!" He shoved her to the ground. She almost screamed before he covered her mouth with his hand and pinched her nose tightly so she couldn't breathe. "Do you know your little boyfriend is hiding something from you?"
He took his other hand and wrapped that around her neck. Lilo felt an extreme pain burn through her entire body as his anger surged through her. Her body tingled uncomfortably from the excessive amount of pain. She whimpered underneath him. Her vision blurred from the tears that the pain inflicted on her.
Her head clouded with dizziness and she passed out from the lack of oxygen. Master pulled away from her, smiling sinisterly at his job. He knew she was still alive due to her chest rising in a steady pace, but that was all he wanted. He wanted her feel pain for her sins. He perked his ears when he heard footsteps padding closer to the back of the store.
He heard a small gasp and Master turned. His hatred filled eyes caught Stitch's shocked pair. He gave a short nod and inclined his head to Lilo who was still unconscious. Then, with sonic speed, he retreated so quickly that all Stitch could see was a black blur hastily disappearing beyond the foliage up ahead.
Stitch turned to see Lilo with her eyes closed, but her breathing seemed a little over normal. He walked over to her and bent down to cradle her in his arms. He wasn't too worried about her condition; he was more terrified of what would happen to her in the future. He hugged her close, his ears listening intently to her breathing as he carried her to the buggy. The groceries left neglected at the store.
Meanwhile, Angel was watching Slyther as they ate their lunches. She observed him from across the table as he took careful and tiny bites from his taco. She found this quite odd since he usually gobbles it down as Stitch does when he's hungry. She had also noticed a change in his mood since last night. He lost his straight posture and his eyes weren't as cold as they were before, but empty. He had turned on the shields in front of his eyes so she or anybody else, couldn't see the emotions buried inside of him.
He caught her staring at him and scowled. "What are you looking at?"
"You've changed Slyther." Angel replied in almost a whisper. "What's wrong?"
"What do you care?" He snarled. "Look, if pestering somebody is something you want to do in your boring life, then go to your little playmates. I'm not in the mood."
He pushed his chair back so roughly that brown marks stained Angel's newly polished floor. However, he failed to notice that and just rose from the seat anyways. Angel got up after him and grabbed him by the arm. "Please, I'm a very good listener."
"Don't touch me!" He roared as he swiveled quickly to glare at her sharply. He wrenched his arm free from her grip and pushed her harshly. She fell to the floor, flabbergasted that he would do that to her. "Ever touch me again and you'll end up with something worse. Now leave me alone! Go bother someone else with your sickening touch. You worthless experiment! That's all you'll ever be. Worthless like 626 and all the others!"
He instantly felt a pang of guilt penetrate inside him when he saw Angel's tears. For some unknown reason, he wanted to apologize. However, he just gave a brief nod, spun on his heels, and walked out the kitchen.
As this was happening, Stitch was just at the house with Lilo in his arms, who began to stir. She was so exhausted from Master's powers that instead of talking to Stitch with her mouth, she talked to him with her mind.
Stitch?
Lilo? You're awake?
Yeah, but I'm too tired to talk.
It's okay, you don't have to. Go back to sleep.
I can't, I need to ask you something.
What's that?
Do you know who Master, Pre 701 is?
Yes, Lilo I do. But we'll talk about him later on.
No, I'd like to talk about him now.
Lilo, don't you dare act stubborn with me. You're hurt and you're tired. Just go to sleep, I promise you I will tell you sometime today.
Promise?
Promise.
Okay fine. You win.
Like always.
Stitch looked down to see a small smile slip across his buchee-bu's face. He couldn't help but think that he was the luckiest guy in the world with her by his side. She was his angel, his light, his love, his savior, his everything! Master or those other two experiments will never take her from him.Lilo had always been there for him. She was the one that changed all his beliefs on life and love. She was the one that made him realize love truly did exist. Now he was going to repay her. He made a promise to himself. If Lilo was in any kind of danger, he was going to make sure that his blood stains the ground before hers.
Later on that night, Slyther laid on Angel's couch in the living room. He had finished watching TV and curled up against the back of the couch to sleep. However, he wasn't able to sleep for long when a dream of the past invaded his mind.
