Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own story, plot, and three experiments: Drea, Slyther, and Master
Stitch reached the Edmond's house. He threw the door open and peered around. He crept around the house, checking his surroundings to ensure nobody's sneaking up on him. He strolled through the house, whispering for Angel's name. Suddenly, he heard obnoxios knocks coming from upstairs. It sounded as though a desperate person trapped inside a room wanted to escape.
Stitch darted upstairs, hoping with all of his heart it was Angel banging on the door. He reached the door and quickly pushed it open. He was dismayed to see Slyther and furthered despaired at the sight of Angel's dead body.
He turned to Slyther, scowling at him darkly. "What did you do to her!"
"I came here to end my association with Master, but she came along." Slyther replied.
Stitch ran to Angel, cradling her dead cadaver in his arms. "Angel? Angel!"
"I thought you love Lilo." Slyther replied.
Stitch growled. "I do love Lilo, but I also care for Angel. She is my best friend after all."
"Well, you're not the only one who lost someone important." Slyther grumbled as he bent down to pick up Drea. "Master killed my buchee-bu. My Drea."
Stitch stared at them while holding Angel's body to him. "Come on Slyther. This life with Master is getting you no where, come with me and Lilo."
"I already know that 626." Slyther responded as he carried Drea out of the house, followed closely by Stitch.
While this was happening, Lilo was desperately trying to fight off Master. She kicked him in the sensitive place, causing his eyes to widen and kneel to the ground. She grabbed his ears and yanked his head upwards, punching him in the nose. He laid sprawled out on the floor, while she tried to make her retreat. He saw her trying to run away and reached out to grasp her ankle. Lilo tripped and fell to the ground, wincing in pain as her cheek collided on the hard wooden floor. Master crawled up her spine, digging his claws in her sides. Lilo gasped in pain and rolled over the best she could. Master's claws ripped from her sides, drenched in her crimson blood and a piece of her flesh stuck on them. She kicked him off her with her feet to his chest. She stood back up.
He rose quickly and grasped both of her wrists. Lilo smirked as she used the special technique Stitch taught her. She grasped his wrists also with her free hands, twisted his wrists, and kicked off with her feet pushing off from his stomach. He moaned in pain as he held his stomach. Lilo took this excellent opportunity to run to the door. Master noticed she was about to run away, causing him to check around the house quickly. He spotted the glass vase on the desk. Gathering his strengh, he stood to reach for it and threw the vase at the back of her legs.
Just as Lilo reached the front door, the she felt a searing pain cut open her legs. She fell to the ground, just as miniscule remains of the fragile decoration sprayed around the area. Lilo trampled over the chunks, the tiny pieces of glass penetrated through her skin, slicing the flesh open. She yelped in pain as Master yanked her up by the hair. Her face had cuts thanks to the glass and her legs were dripping from blood caused by the toss of the glass.
Master picked up the sharpest piece of glass, holding it to her neck. Lilo breathed heavily as he dragged the weapon painfully down the side of her neck, drawing blood. He dragged it down her collarbone and over to her shoulder, just below it. Tears obscured her vision as he dragged the glass down her arm.
Stitch, do you have Angel? Lilo called in her mind, wanting Stitch's help after he finds Angel.
Yes Lilo I have her. Now are you okay? I feel like someone is dragging a knife across my body and I'm bleeding. Are you alright? Stitch responded.
Master' s attacking me. He's cutting my flesh open with a piece of glass. Lilo replied back.
Why didn't you say anything buchee-bu! Stitch cried worriedly.
I wanted to be sure you got Angel. Lilo answered. Please Stitch, hurry. He's hurting me.
I'm almost there buchee-bu, hold on!
"You haven't spoken in quite sometime Earthling. Talking to your boyfriend through telepathy? Asking for help? Can't have that now can we?" Master drawled as his hand left her hair and wrapped around her waist.
His hand lifted her shirt to expose her lower abdomen. His hand that held the glass went in front of her stomach and Lilo knew what he was going to do. He was going to stab her!
Stitch hurry please! He's going to stab me!
I'm coming buchee-bu. I'm coming!
Before Master could pierce her tan stomach, the door swung open. Stitch and Slyther put down Angel and Drea before darting towards Master and Lilo.
"Ah Ah 626. I have your precious Lilo in my arms and I can easily hurt her if you come any closer." Master threatened viciously as he held Lilo close to him.
"Let her go Master." Stitch growled viciously.
"Now why would I want to let her go? What do I get out of it?" Master replied.
"What do you want?" Stitch snarled. Master gave Stitch a suggestive look, narrowing his eyes. Stitch understood what he wanted. "Do what you want with me, but release her."
Master inconsiderately tossed Lilo aside. Luckily, Slyther dodged for her and caught her in his arms. Stitch stepped up to Master who clutched his shoulders with his rough hands. He flung Stitch to the ground on his back. Just when Stitch strived to stand up, Master hurled himself to Stitch and pinned him to the floor.
Lilo shrieked in anxiety, struggling in the silver experiment's arms. Slyther improved his grip around her waist. Lilo knew it would be futile to flee from Slyther's sturdy arms. Therefore, she turned into his chest and buried her face deep in it, not wishing to see what Master would do to her lover. Slyther caressed her hair soothingly while shutting his eyes also.
Master glared at Stitch who laid helplessly on the floor, glaring at Master through his narrowed eyes. Master leaned down to Stitch's ear, scowling the words in a subtle voice. "There are two things I want 626: You and Lilo's blood. I do have a way to get both of them."
Master gripped Stitch's head, causing him to wince. He worked up his past anger from Stitch's sickening family, from Lilo's goody doings, from Slyther's betrayal, from Drea's foolishness, everything that irked him considerably. The rage he build up inside of him went through Stitch's brain, taking away his precious memories.
Stitch's mind flashed with images. He saw his old bad self hugging Lilo in the dog pound to mislead her. He saw himself walking home with her, the day she and her sister took him in from the dog pound. He saw himself wrecking Lilo's room until she hung a lei around his neck to calm him. He saw himself surfing in the sparkling ocean with his new family. He saw himself pull off a desperate stunt to save Lilo, his savior and in a way, his angel. Everything after that was fresh in his visions. He felt the fear of facing Spooky, the love he once had with Angel, the jealousy with Mr. Stenchy, and the exhilarating adventure he had with Lilo from the Leroy incident. He saw himself loving Lilo the way people had thought impossible. He could hear the sweet words they spoke to each other just before locking each other in an affectionate kiss. The visions stopped and Master unleashed him.
Lilo turned away from Slyther once the pain she felt from Stitch' discomfort, but didn't go through the visions as he did. She shivered, causing him to tighten his grip on her. She pushed away from him to see what Stitch was doing.
Master towered above Stitch, snickering at him. Stitch looked up at his rival's eyes, glaring at him. Master stooped low, grabbing Stitch by the neck. He harshly whispered. "I told you I want Lilo dead, by your hands or mine, it doesn't matter. Soon, you will join me and you will forget her and the love you have for her."
He stood, smirking at the blue alien. He swiveled to Lilo and Slyther, glaring at both of them. He sneered at them, then exited without another word.
Lilo pushed herself away from Slyther to race towards Stitch, oblivious to Angel lying dead on the couch. Lilo helped Stitch up, pressing her lips long and hard on the top of his head. Stitch wasn't paying attention to Lilo's sentimental gestures, Master's words swam through his head. What did he mean when he said he had a way to get Stitch and Lilo's blood?
"Stitch? Buchee-bu? Are you okay?" Lilo asked worriedly, her face tear-stained.
"Yeah." Stitch replied, but he knew that was a lie. "We need to get Angel to Jumba. Now."
"What?" Lilo enquired as she turned around. She saw a dead female dragon in Slyther's arms and Angel motionless on the couch. She gasped. "Angel!"
Lilo averted from Stitch to scurry over to Angel. She fell on her knees next to Angel, taking in her face. To her, it appeared her friend was in a deep sleep just as princesses fall into a deep slumber and can only be awoken from true love's first kiss. Lilo stroked her face, hoping that would wake her best friend.
Slyther observed Lilo touching Angel as if she was her sister. He knew the two learned to accept each other and understood they would have to share Stitch, but he didn't know they learned to respect each other. Slyther watched as Stitch came up and grasped Lilo's shoulders, kissing the top of her head.
"I'm sure Jumba can help her. I'm not so sure about Drea though." Stitch replied as he looked over to Slyther cradling Drea.
Slyther glanced down at Drea's beautiful face, kissing her head. He then looked up at Angel, swallowing hard. "Jumba's a genius. He'll find a way to heal them."
Lilo hefted Angel in her arms while Stitch led the way. Lilo noticed how fast Stitch walked. At first she thought it was because he was worried about Angel, but then again, why didn't he respond to her loving gestures? Usually, he would kiss her back or hug her tightly. There was something about her lover that just didn't seem right.
They reached Jumba's ship in less than twenty minutes. Jumba immediately took Angel from Stitch's arms then collected Drea. He disappeared inside the rooms, leaving Slyther, Lilo, and Stitch in the waiting room. Stitch seemed to be off in his own world with his back slouched against the chair, his arms folded across his chest, and his legs outstretched. He gazed out the window and Lilo worriedly wanted to know what he was thinking.
Finally, after five minutes of waiting, Jumba stepped inside the room. His face held a small smile, the smile that told Lilo and Slyther that there was something wrong, but he still had hope. Lilo stood from her seat, wanting to hear about Angel. Slyther stood too, eager to hear about Drea, his wife's condition. Stitch however, still seemed stuck in his world.
"There is being good news and bad news." Jumba announced. "Good news is, 624 and 699 is not being deceased."
Lilo gasped in pleasant surprise while Slyther smiled hugely. He was glad Drea was still alive, but he was even more relieved that Angel was alive also. Lilo then remembered Jumba said something about bad news. "What is the bad news?"
"Bad news is they are being in deep sleep. 701 must've been very angry for them to be in this condition. 701 doesn't have powers to kill anybody with his anger, but can put them to sleep. It takes 40 Earth days for the victims to die from 701's powers, but if treated immediately, they shall be okeydokey." Jumba continued.
"Great! Then, how do we treat them?" Lilo asked excitedly, relieved her friend will be fine and have a chance to meet another experiment.
"That is being part of bad news. Jumba does not know how to treat them." Jumba replied sheepishly.
Just like that, Lilo and Slyther's hope drained from them. Slyther noticed Lilo was about to cry for her friend, so he took over. "How long do you have to find the antidote?"
"According to strength 701's powers had been, he narrowed it down to three weeks." He responded, noticing the hopeless faces of the silver experiment and little girl. He then noted Stitch's silence in his chair. "626? Are you feeling okay?"
"Stitch?" Lilo asked as she turned to him. "Stitch?"
"Will you stop pestering me! I heard. Angel and Drea are going to be okay. Hurray!" He yelled, but all of them could detect the scorn in his voice. He sounded as though he didn't care that Angel and Drea will be fine.
"Stitch!" Lilo cried flabbergasted. "What on Earth is wrong with you!"
Stitch's expression softened as he took in Lilo's shocked face. "Lilo, I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that."
Lilo shook her head. "I'm going inside."
Stitch watched her go, feeling awful. He turned to his creator. "Why did I do that?"
Jumba shrugged. "Did you and Little Girl get into a fight?"
Stitch shook his head. "No. We never fought."
Slyther thought back to when Master assaulted Stitch the same way he attacked him. It seemed familiar, but yet, so foreign.
That night, Lilo and Stitch were getting ready to turn in for the night. Lilo exited from her closet to see Stitch looking out the window, his eyes held that same far off look. Lilo came up to her boyfriend, draping her arms around his neck. She was disappointed that he didn't turn in her arms and embrace her back. She started planting feather light kisses on his shoulders and up his neck.
Stitch shrugged himself out of her grip, turning away from her. Lilo stared at him with hurt as he climbed into the bed. She tilted her head as he laid on his side, staring at the steel cold wall. Lilo held back a sigh and walked up to the bed. She slid herself inside, drawing the covers over her.
"Goodnight Stitch." She replied, but got no response. "Okay." She mumbled, mystified that he didn't respond.
With that, she reached over to turn off the lamp. Darkness filled the room and despite the fact that Stitch laid in the same bed as her, Lilo felt sheer loneliness.
Note: Yes, Drea and Angel are coming back into the story. Should be happy news for Dragonborn and Teh Computer Fan CTCD. I wasn't going to reveal this, but since I had two reviews that weren't something you would call 'praises' because I went from a Slyther/Drea pairing to Angel/Slyther, I want to be sure no one gets too attached to the Drea/Slyther. This story will remain L/S and Slyther/Angel. Sorry to those that were looking forward to the Drea/Slyther, but I began to love the Slyther/Angel stuff. So to those that think I keep on switching things around, this will be Lilo/Stitch and Slyther/Angel.
