Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own story, plot, and three experiments: Drea, Slyther, and Master
Note: Sorry it took me so long, but like I said, I've reached the point where I have to write two chapters before sending one of them out and with it being the holidays, my parents practically dragged me everywhere. Sorry for the extremely long wait. Anyway, here's chapter 29!
626 strolled quickly along the path that led to his Master's home. His mind not on the surroundings around him, but of what happened just a moment ago on the beach. He thought of Lilo and how her kiss did something to him. When she kissed him, he couldn't help but return it and not because of the lie he gave to her, but because something compelled him to kiss her back. For a moment, he felt something towards the girl, something more than even love. It wasn't until Master entered his mind that he knew he was doing something wrong. Kissing a girl, a human girl no less, was strictly prohibited in Master's eyes. How could he betray his Master like that?
He snapped out of his thoughts when he faced the contour of the Edmonds house. His legs felt like jelly as he climbed the stairs that led into the home. He raised his hand and turned the cold knob to open the door. He stepped inside, inhaling the disgusting scent. A shiver ran down his spine at the lonely feel of the had been family home. With a sigh, he fell on the couch, reaching for the remote to watch some TV.
"Where have you been my assistant?" A dark, terrifying voice replied.
626 jumped in his seat and turned to face the black experiment. "I uh um."
"You were having some fun with that girl weren't you?" Master questioned him. "Tsk tsk 626, didn't I tell you that she is the enemy."
626 nodded obediently. "Please understand my Master. I am very sorry. It will never happen again. Is there a way I can please you my Master?"
Master narrowed his eyes. "Get over here." Hastily, 626 flew off the couch and stood in front of Master. "Get down on your knees." He crumbled to the ground on his knees and waited for whatever Master planned to do to him. Master reached his hand forward and wrapped it tightly around 626's throat. 626 knew what was going to happen next and he closed his eyes, waiting for the inevitable pain to come. Master closed his eyes as well, thinking of things that irk him the most and send passionate fury inside his being. His eyes opened to reveal the hideous red orbs. The anger he welled up inside of himself coursed through 626. 626's face cringed, his teeth gritted to prevent a sound of agony, and his claws clenched so tight that they penetrated through his hand, drawing a miniscule amount of magenta blood.
Master leant down, smirking sinisterly as his assistant's body quivered from the intense torture. "You will never do anything that I don't approve of around that girl right?"
"Y-yes my Ma-Master!" 626 cried through clenched teeth.
"You will see her bleed and you will love the sight!"
"I-I'll bo-bottle h-h-her b-b-blood an-and argh! Sa-savor th-the ta-taste! M-My Ma- ahh! Master."
"Your loyalties lie with me 626! You do something against my nature, I have the right to punish you. Whatever I love, you aim to give it to me. Whatever I hate, you risk your life to annihilate it! Understood?"
"O-Of c-course m-my Master. Any-anything y-you wa-want, I-I'll argh! Give t-to y-you!"
Master released the blue experiment with a forceful push. 626 landed on his back, his face expressionless, but Master smirked at the evident fear blazing in his eyes. "Get up! We have planning to do."
Meanwhile, Lilo had said her goodbyes to Sparky and was currently heading home. She decided to check on her experiment friends inside the ship. Lilo walked inside the ship to see Jumba, as usual, working feverishly at his desk. Lilo greeted him briefly then entered the infirmary. Slyther and Angel were absent and all there was left, was a lonely violet dragon reading a magazine that was translated in her language.
Lilo walked up, knowing who the dragon was. With a smile, she waved to the experiment. "Hi."
The dragon lifted her head and nodded politely towards the girl. "Hello. You must be Lilo. Lilo Pelekai?"
"Yes." Lilo responded. "Drea? Pre 699?"
"That would be me." Drea answered and closed the magazine she was currently reading to put it on the table adjacent to her.
"So, how do you like Kauai?" Lilo asked, hoping she could start up small talk.
"It's a lovely island." Drea said with a nod. "But I like my home planet better. Where Slyther and I were happy with our babies."
"Babies?" Lilo asked with a smile. "How sweet."
"Yeah, but 701 killed them." Drea replied bitterly. "Just like he took away my husband. I thought things were going to get better until that Angel girl made him fall in love with her."
"He's happy Drea." Lilo said quietly.
"I know. But when you love someone, you want to be that person to make them happy." Drea responded as she let a tear slide down her scaly cheek.
Lilo figured she should leave the poor experiment alone and instead walked out to see Angel and Slyther. She smiled as they greeted her. "Jumba told me you need some help using your powers." Slyther stated.
"Yeah. I do." Lilo agreed.
"I can help you if you like." Slyther replied with a shrug.
"Okay. What time?"
"Now maybe?"
"Alright."
Angel kissed Slyther on the cheek. "I better get back home."
"Okay. Love you." Slyther responded, kissing her on the lips.
"Love you more." She replied back with a coy smile and left.
Inside the ship, Slyther taught Lilo how to use her abilities. Lilo observed the room with sorrow, wishing it was her little blue lover teaching her instead of her silver friend. However, she veneered her genuine emotions with a grin and stood tall, waiting to be coached. Slyther asked her what abilities she had to which she answered straight away.
Slyther came up behind her, grabbed her palms, and put them face up to the ceiling. He whispered to her to close her eyes to which she complied. Then he told her to think of things that had fire involved. Lilo thought of dragons at first and how they sprout fire. She thought of Yang, who was the same as the dragon, Drea, but instead spews out lava. She thought of a warm fireplace on a cold night. Then, she felt warmth in her hands. She opened her eyes to see fire glowing brightly on her palms.
"Whoa." She breathed.
"Clench your palms." Slyther instructed and she did. "Now open them."
She opened her hands to see them in little red, glimmering, balls. She was dazzled by her accomplishment to hold fire in her palms.
"Now you need to know how to calm them." Slyther replied. "Think of things cold."
Lilo closed her eyes and thought of ice. The moment a vision of a solid ice cube entered her mind, she felt the fire balls quell. This made Lilo feel powerful and in control. She beamed proudly at Slyther who then taught her more about how she could use her powers. Finally, the day ended and the two were getting hungry.
Slyther visited Drea one last time, bid goodbye to Lilo, then ran back to Angel. Lilo exited the ship, drying her perspiring face with a cotton white towel. She put the towel back on the rack then left. A glimmer of green light from above caught her eye. Curiously, she peered at the stars, seeing green orb blazing through the sky like a falling star, leaving green dust sprinkling the air as it zoomed.
Lilo watched the eccentric blur of lime green light crash into the trees just a few feet away from her house. Green smoke billowing in the night breeze. Inquisitively, Lilo sprinted towards the smoke, bringing up her shirt to cover her nose so she wouldn't inhale the toxic green flames. She found the source of the tumult in the forest. It was a small, made for two, spaceship. The two man shuttle.
Reuben and Gantu. Lilo thought fearfully as she took in the shape of the ship that used to bombard her and Stitch plethora of times in the past. Lilo ran up to the ship, forgetting to cover her nose. She looked through the window to see one, chubby, yellow experiment inside. It looked like he was sleeping, but Lilo knew, he was hurt bad. Quickly, she went around the ship, looking for the window, and sent her fist through it. She winced in pain as the shards of glass sunk into her skin, drawing blood. However, she did not care. The only thing she cared about, was her friend in serious pain inside the ship.
She reached over inside the glass, ignoring the slightly disturbing shock that greeted her. She flipped the lock on the passenger seat to unlock the door. Scrupulously, she crawled backwards until her feet touched the ground. She went over to the passenger side and, using her good hand, she opened the door. Swiftly, she lunged inside, passing the passenger seat and up to the driver, where her friend was unconscious. She couldn't see his injuries because of the darkness in the ship, but she knew he was injured and needed medical attention now.
She grabbed him by the shoulders to gingerly lay him down. Lilo then roped her arms under his shoulder blades and dragged him out, hoping beyond hope that he didn't suffer any broken limbs. Once her feet reached the ground, she reached over and cradled him. She was mildly surprised by how light he was. She ran into the night, hoping she could get him to Jumba just in time.
Weariness overcame her in her hurried steps and so she slowed down, but not by much. She looked down at Reuben, wondering why Gantu wasn't with him in the two man shuttle. In the moonlight, she was transfixed about the changes in him. His usual chubby figure now slimmed down quite a bit. He didn't look as fit as Stitch and Angel of course, but he wasn't that ugly either. Lilo didn't pay too much attention on his looks, no matter how astonishing he looked to her, but the injuries on him made her horrified. He had a deep cut the ran down from his eye and down to his chin. His fur was dirty and matted with blood. On his forehead had a huge gash that was releasing a scary amount of blood. His arm looked twisted at an abnormal angle, making Lilo hope she didn't make it worse. His body was marred with purple bruises from what she'll never know.
"Oh Reuben." She almost sobbed in a whisper as she took in his badly beaten up condition. "What happened to you?"
Far away from Lilo carrying Reuben to the ship, 626 paced back in forth in his room. Master laid downstairs asleep on the couch, leaving 626 to do whatever he pleased. There were tons of things he could be doing right now in his spare time, but for some reason, his mind always reverted back to Lilo and the kiss they shared on the beach. He knew she was trying to get him back, but he won't let her. He will not become as weak as her.
"Still, she knew what she was doing when she kissed me like that." 626 mused then shook his head. "There's only one way I can ensure my loyalty to Master and don't even bother with her." He went up to the window, observing the night. "I have to kill her. Not when Master says, but soon. I have to kill her soon."
Note: Not too fond of this chapter, but stay tuned for chapter 30. I'm hoping it will make up for this! Happy New Years if I don't get the next chapter in before it happens!
