Part of An Ohana

A/N Here's more and Jumba finds out some very bad news that a foe of his has broken out of space prison.

Mahalo to Kitten630 for hre reviews as usual.

Jumba was curious to hear what his friend and family member.

"What's wrong Gantu?

You look very worried." he asked him as the captain sighed.

"The reason I'm nervous is because somebody who used to be friends with you has escaped but Alana was hurt trying to stop him and I'm worried but need you and the others to stop him." he answered.

"Who're you talking about Gantu?" Jumba asked him.

"I'm talking about Raditz." he answered him as Jumba paled in shock.

"He..... escaped?

This is bad, very bad!

He will come after me and ohana!" he yelled angrily.

Gantu understood Jumba's concern hearing that.

"I know Jumba but you have to make sure that nobody but you knows this but take care of the ohana in case Raditz does seek revenge but how're they especially Kiri and Jiku?

But worried about Rueben.

Recently on the ship during missions together, he seems quiet and very sad.

Has this happened too or just around me?" Gantu replied.

Jumba sighed noticing his creation acting the same around them but more so around him but had a feeling why.

"Ih he does." Jumba answered.

"I figured so.

But why?

I thought we were friends!" Gantu said as he raised his voice which scared Jumba a little.

"Calm yourself Gantu!

First off I have a theory as to why 625 is acting like this and second you're scaring me a little with angry voice." Jumba answered, his voice trembling.

Gantu sighed calming down.

"Sorry about that.

It's just Rueben is my friend and I want to help him but he won't open up.

What is this theory of yours?" the Captain replied with anxiety in his milky blue eyes.

"He suffers from low self esteem which has been a part of him since after he was created but Jumba and other experiments partially to blame for that along with his lack of confidence but is afraid." Jumba began as Gantu looked worried.

"Afraid Jumba of what?

I need to know." he said before Jumba went on.

"He is afraid of being rejected like the other experiments and I did to him after finding out he didn't want to destroy and be lazy along with making sandwiches but also of being alone in the world but he also afraid ti trust others because he knows they'll reject him.

But you made it worse Gantu." Jumba explained to him.

"Me making it worse?

But how?" Gantu asked a little nervous.

"Before you became Captain again and were working for Hamsterwheel, you also rejected 625, blasting him, pummeling him, throwing him against walls but also hurting his feelings verbally like the T word that all my creations hate hearing but I saw the blaster burn around his eye which still looks painful but he told me that was an accident but I think it was you venting anger on a mission failed but he needs a little help venting.

You see he is very emotionally hurt and needs help before he can be himself again and crack wise about creator's patookie which he does on numerous occasions.

But little Jiku and your wife are fine here." Jumba told him.

"You mean I hurt him more after all our trying to catch experiments for that gerbil?

I never meant to call him trog or any of those things.

I guess it was just me venting my anger back then.

You're right, he needs help but what?

I need you to talk to him for me, please!

I would do anything to have him back to normal!" Gantu answered sadly.

"Jumba will try but very hard." he told Gantu hanging up hearing footsteps but left the room to go be with the family..

Raditz snickered as he was working on a weapon to get revenge on Jumba but was nearly done but would be able to change somebody's personality but wanted to test it out but seeing Gantu's ship land in the forest made him smile but he'd heard the Captain's talk with Jumba and smiled. He would test it out on Gantu and make him no longer a tough guy.......

Jumba heard soft moaning later finding Rueben asleep in the living room on the couch but the sandwich making experiment was tossing and turning in his sleep along with sleep talking.

"Don't put me back in the pod!

I'm sorry I'm not perfect.

Just don't!" he screamed in sleep as Jumba was on the couch but had attached something to him which enabled him to see what was bothering his creation in sleep.

It was a memory of that terrible day when Jumba had began creating Stitch and had decided to put Rueben back in his pod which made Jumba sad.

Tears fell from his eyes but worry flooded him feeling his older son's head.

It was warm, very warm as a fever had started.

"This isn't good.

Jumba will get cold cloth to help." he thought going into the kitchen.

Pleakley saw a look of remorse on Jumba's face as he was putting the cloth in cold water but wondered what was wrong but he wouldn't tell him.

But the Plorgian peeked into the living room seeing his friend and room mate putting a cold cloth on Rueben's forehead.

"Something must be wrong with him.

I hope he'll be okay." he thought as he saw Jumba pick the golden brown experiment up gently and put him in his arms gently as he was watching TV for a little while........

Raia was with Kira and Gaia along with Lilo as they were at the beach but they noticed he looked a little sad as they were back on shore after spending the entire afternoon surfing through the ocean waves.

"It's...... nothing.

Just thinking." he answered Kira but she had a feeling he was thinking about home.

"Don't worry Raia I'm sure your father is thinking of you too.

But as long as you're with us, you're ohana." Kira told him as Lilo and Stitch smiled.

"What does that mean?" Raia asked curious.

"It means family.

Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

It makes me feel good inside." Kira answered as Raia smiled.

"Thanks Kira.

I like that word and the meaning.

I guess you're not as alone on this planet as you think." he answered as they walked back to the house but was surprised finding Gantu there beaten up badly and knocked out cold.

"Naga good." Stitch said as Lilo nodded.

"You said it.

We need to get Jumba." Lilo told him as her husband used his super strength to put Gantu in the Big Red Battleship for now.

Raditz cackled at that.

"My plan is going perfectly!" he chuckled as he hid......
