Once the stars faded from everybody's eyes, all gazes turned to Whirlwind Kawena, whom had transformed into a pegasus whose front-left leg was entirely robotic, with a mark on its' rear flanks that resembled a tornado with a lightning bolt coming out of the bottom.

"I got one word for all ya'll: Day-yum!" the pegasus said, strutting in place for emphasis. Whirlwind Striker scratched his head in confusion.

"So... You're a horse now?" he asked. Whirlwind Kawena sighed in frustration.

"PEGASUS. I'm a PEGASUS. Don't you see the wings? Look, let's just say that there's more to me, especially the younger me, than meets the eye." the pegasus replied. He then looked skyward.

"Now, since I haven't actually used proper flight for awhile, I'm just gonna levitate. A cigam ecrof taht I lliw lortnoc llahs llup em otni eht ria." Whirlwind Kawena said, his words echoing as he slowly rose into the air. Jumba quirked an eyebrow.

"How exactly is older little boy doing this?" the scientist asked. The pegasus chuckled.

"You'll never believe me even if I DO tell you." he said. Jumba smirked.

"Be trying me."

Whirlwind Kawena smirked back.

"Well..."

(Meanwhile, in space...)

An object shrouded in darkness was approaching Earth's moon at high speed, making Baoshi Long nervous.

"If that's what I think it is, we might be in big trouble. Slaves, hurry up! Finish that upgrade on the double!" he ordered of his minions.

As the object grew closer to the moon, Baoshi Long became more and more nervous.

"Sir, it's almost done!" one of the androids said. Turning around, Baoshi Long gestured for the androids to hurry up.

"Upgrade installation almost complete. Preparing for final adjustments." one android said. Before Baoshi Long could say anything, the object that had been making the dragon so nervous crashed through the window of the lab, causing an explosive decompression before the window's nano-repair system sealed the hole. Shaking, Baoshi Long nervously turned around as the object uncurled and stood up, revealing itself to be a black pegasus with glowing red eyes, razor-edged wings, devil-like horns atop its' head, and crimson Anarchy symbols on each of its' flanks...

(Back in Kokaua Town...)

"Magic?!" the Ohana asked incredulously.

Whirlwind Kawena nodded. "You betcha! Although silly sounding, this form of magic, known as Reverse Casting, is very real, and quite easy to learn! All you do is say what the desired effect is backwards!" the pegasus explained.

Whirlwind Striker quirked an eyebrow.

"So... I can do it, even while THIS young?" he asked. Whirlwind Kawena nodded.

"Absolutely! Although... There are SOME limits as to what you should and SHOULDN'T with this form of magic. For example: You can't bring the dead back to life, you can't make one person fall in love with another, and you DEFINITELY can't KILL anyone. Those are just a COUPLE of the big controversies, though." Whirlwind Kawena said. Lilo groaned.

"So does that mean that we can't get rid of that big threat you came here to help stop?" she asked. Whirlwind Kawena shook his head.

"Of course not; we'll definitely stop it... Just not with this particular form of magic." he said.

Jumba snapped his fingers. "What if Six-Two-Four were to sing her song backwards? Considering how effective that was at turning bad experiments good, then maybe-"

Whirlwind Kawena shook his head again, this time with a sad look on his face.

"Don't you think we tried that? All that came of doing that was Angel's death." he replied. "And, well... the death of one whom had yet to live." the pegasus reluctantly added. Stitch and Angel gasped.

"Meega... pregnant?" Angel asked, lightly putting a hand on her stomach. Whirlwind Kawena nodded.

"Yeah, but you're not showing yet because an experiment's pregnancy lasts for about a year and a half, as we discovered in my timeline when Sparky and Belle had their twins just before you were killed." the pegasus said before flinching as he realised what he'd just let slip. "Please forget I said that last part."

The others all went wide-eyed, but then made motions across their mouths to indicate that their lips were sealed.

"That WOULD explain why Belle's been acting so secretive recently..." Nani murmured to herself.

"Anyway... Why don't we get started?" Lilo said, rising up with her experiment powers. Giving his older self an annoyed look, Whirlwind Striker tried to figure out how to transform as well.

"Just focus on how happy the song 'Aloha 'Oe' makes you! Once you feel the lightheartedness that the song brings you, you'll know what flight feels like and be able to transform!" Whirlwind Kawena shouted down to his younger self. "The whole pegasus thing is actually part of your- I mean MY- I mean OUR true nature!" he said, fumbling over his words.

"Time travel really screws up your syntax, doesn't it?" Nani muttered to David, her husband chuckling and nodding in agreement.

Taking a deep breath, Whirlwind Striker closed his eyes and remembered the first time Lilo had sung 'Aloha 'Oe' to him:

[FLASHBACK]

Whirlwind was tossing and turning in bed, trying his best to get to sleep, but the sandman seemed to evade him at every turn. Sighing in frustration, the boy got up and headed downstairs to get a drink of water. Making his way to the kitchen, he saw Lilo sitting outside on the hammock, watching the stars. Walking out the door, Whirlwind stood behind his adoptive aunt.

"You can't sleep either, huh?" Lilo asked, startling Whirlwind.

"How do you do that? You always seem to know when I'm standing behind you, no matter how quiet I am." Whirlwind said, carefully getting into the hammock beside her. Turning to face her adoptive nephew, Lilo smiled.

"Aunts have eyes in the back of their head, although having the hearing of an Experiment helps, too." she said, giggling a little. Whirlwind chuckled, pulling his knees up to his chest.

"So what's keepin' you up?" he yawned, rubbing one of his eyes tiredly.

"Nothing, really. I just woke up a half hour ago and couldn't get back to sleep. I figured I'd stargaze and fall back to sleep under the clear night sky." Lilo said, turning to Whirlwind. Noticing that he was getting a little nod-off-ish, Lilo pulled the newest member of her Ohana close to her.

"Nani used to sing this to me when I was either sad or having trouble getting to sleep." Lilo said, clearing her throat slightly before starting to sing:

#Ha'aheo ka ua i na pali Ke nihi a'ela i ka nahele E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko Pua 'ahihi lehua o uka

Aloha 'Oe, Aloha 'Oe E ke onaona noho i ke lipo One fond embrace,

Aloha 'Oe, Aloha 'Oe E ke onaona noho i ke lipo One fond embrace,
A ho'i a'e au Until we meet again...#

[END FLASHBACK]

Wiping a tear of happiness off of his cheek, Whirlwind Striker felt the joy the song gave him fill his entire being. Glowing softly, everyone else present prepared themselves to shield their eyes for what was coming next. With a triumphant "YEAH!", Whirlwind Striker was engulfed in a column of blindingly bright light as a pair of feathery wings spread out from his shoulders, a tail erupted from his lower back, his hands and feet turned into hooves, his hair grew into a majestic mane, and his entire body changed from bipedal to quadrupedal. Once the light dissipated, a smaller version of Whirlwind Kawena's pegasus form, minus the marks on the flanks and the cybernetic limb, stood before the assembled group, his clothing having disappeared during the transformation. Flapping his new wings, Whirlwind Striker made his way up to his future self and adoptive aunt.

Just then, there was a rustling noise in the bushes nearby. Whirlwind Kawena gestured for the group to be quiet.

"D'ya think they noticed us?" a female voice whispered.

"HowshouldIknow?! Ican'tseebecauseyourWIDEBEHINDisintheway!" a male voice replied at high speed.

"Wide behind mah hoof! Mah booty ain't THAT big, Zippy!"

"Wouldjastopcallingmethat?!"

Whirlwind Kawena's eyes lit up and he gestured for the others to relax. Landing and transforming back into human form, the time traveller quietly made his way to where the rustling had been coming from.

'One...two...THREE!' Whirlwind Kawena mentally counted before pouncing on the eavesdroppers.

(Back on the moon...)

"Master, is that you? You're hard to recognise. After all, it's been many millennia since last upon you I've laid eyes!" Baoshi Long said nervously. The figure standing before the dragon grinned evilly.

"Yes, my disciple... I am the demonic, the banished. But to my enemies, I am known as... Kaos Eklipse."

(A/N: We'll get properly introduced to the eavesdroppers next time, folks! But I get the feeling you already know who they are and whom they're based on. Also, I apologise for the crudeness of the way I typed the Aloha 'Oe lyrics, but my word processor doesn't have the right accentuation marks.)
