(Author's Note: Sorry for the long hiatus, but I had no idea how to proceed which, since the story went in a different direction as planned. I hope the next chapter wont take nearly as long to write and wont be so short, but then again, I think this makes five or six fanfic's I'm actively working on right now, so for those of you anxiously waiting, please bear with me!
"We're going to go get Fibber. You two watch Gantu!" Lilo commanded of Jumba and Pleakly. She and Stitch jumped into the dune buggy and Stitch drove off, leaving them in the dust.
"Aye aye, Little Girl!" Jumba had nodded before her hasty departure.
"I didn't give her to Hamsterviel." Gantu repeated to Jumba who was looking up at him.
"I believe you, but Little Girl must be believing." The scientist said.
"We don't have time for this!" Gantu was very frustrated. "He could be harming her… or worse!"
Jumba nodded. "Am realizing that. I don't think Little Girl is sure what to do with you. Wants to be sure, not rational thinker is she."
Gantu groaned and scrubbed his face with his hands, anxiety mounting. "This is ridiculous!"
"'Course, you could go get Bigger Girl." Jumba suggested.
Gantu wasn't sure he was hearing the scientist correctly. "You mean, you'll let me go to get her back?"
"Oh no! None of that! We're waiting for Lilo to come back!" Pleakly interrupted.
"Quiet my yellow friend," Jumba admonished Pleakly. "Need to help Bigger Girl better sooner then later, yes?"
"Y-e-e-es." Pleakly said uncertainly.
"Then why waste time waiting when Bigger Girl could be getting big hurt from old, despicable boss?" Jumba said reasonably.
"I hate it when you do this." Pleakly moaned.
"Come… to ship then." Jumba started to walk over to his space craft.
"No." Gantu moved to block the mad scientist's progress. "I have to be the one to do this or else it will mean nothing to Lilo."
"What about needing backup? Everyone needs backup." Jumba asked, not liking the idea.
Gantu frowned deeper. "I would rather die trying then come back empty handed."
"Love it is, then?" Jumba cocked his head.
"Yeah."
Gantu shrugged and tossed him the keys. "Is modified. Hampsterviel should not detect approach… my special touch, heheheh."
Gantu caught the keys and took a large breath.
"Wait! Will be needing weapons!" Jumba called to him and scurried back to the house then returned carrying a hefty weapon that looked like it was the business end of a much larger weapon. He almost dragged it on the ground it was so heavy.
Gantu picked it up effortlessly and it fit him to a tee. "What is it?"
"Not know, actually." Jumba said embarrassed. "Have not ever fired. Was waiting for suitable target. I think irate furry fellow would be excellent target now, yes?"
"Yes." Gantu growled and slung the weapon across his back, then winced as it hit the tender flesh. "Try to keep Lilo from following." He knew how irritatingly persistent the child could be and did not think that a firefight was going to be a good thing to have her in the middle of. And a firefight was exactly what that vile rodent was going to receive! He was finding himself getting into a killing rage and he let that be what drove his actions. Taking the ships controls, he charged up the engines and after having hunted for the exterior weapons systems that Jumba had spliced into the thing, went careening through the Earth's thick atmosphere.
His thoughts went from Nani, to Hampsterviel, then back again. He was fearful of what that dangerous rodent would do to his newfound love. He hoped Hampsterviel didn't know of his and Nani's feelings towards one another. That information could be a very dangerous tool. He swallowed again as he quickly made it into space. Gantu typed in Hampsterviel's ship ID code and waited for it to appear on his tracking system. He was one of the only ones who knew it.
As he mulled the situation over, he found himself grinning ill-humoredly that the rodent had no idea what was coming his way. He'd make the gerbil suffer! He'd put Hampsterviel in a pain amplifier and torture the rat until he was screaming for mercy, then Gantu wouldn't give him any. His large fists gripped the steering mechanism painfully and the ship shuddered. He couldn't relax. He needed his rage to help him gain the mental strength to face Hampsterviel. This… this would be that foul rodents final insult to him!
The ships ID flashed on the screen and he was able to locate it on the sector map. Gantu barred his teeth and keyed the coordinates into the ships nav computer.
"I'm coming for you, Nani, please… hang in there… I will NOT leave you behind!"
