Chapter 22: House raid

Stitch was running like hell and was dodging Brian's attacks at the same time when he came on the dirt road. He may have been out of breath but if he stopped, there was no stop guessing what Brian might do to him. Stitch quickly made a sharp turning, making Brian blast a palm tree down and miss the turning. Brian regained balance in his footing and chased after Stitch again who was now heading to Lilo's house.

"Come back you little..." Brian raged as he chased the little blue creature down. Stitch had gotten a good distance away from Brian so he couldn't use his spells. Stitch speeded through the door and when Brian got to the house, he didn't hesitate to kick the door down and come in the hallway where Lilo and Stitch was.

"Oh hiding behind your little friend are we? Well, that won't work anymore. Didn't I tell you? I've got fired this morning and when people get fired…" Brian informed, he summoned his staff once more while Lilo hid behind Stitch. Brian had an evil smirk on his face before adding, "They'll do anything to get their job back." Stitch told Lilo to go in the other room while he dealt with Brian. Brian blasted a fireball out of his staff and fired it at Stitch but he managed to catch it. Stitch laughed, taunting Brian in the progress when the fireball became too hot in Stitch's hands so he quickly threw it in Brian face.

Stitch quickly came in the kitchen where Lilo was waiting while Brian had fallen on the floor from the sudden hit.

"What are we going to do?" Lilo asked, worried in her tone of voice. Stitch started to think when he came up with a idea and dragged Lilo down to the basement while grabbing Scrump the doll along the way.

Brian gotten up and was about to look for Stitch when small black creatures with huge golden yellow eyes came out of the ground. They looked like solider Heartless but had a type of space uniform on and they had blasters as weapons. As soon as Brian saw them, he started to groan angrily.

"Oh just want I need on a day like this. Yeah I always wanted Armada Soldiers to appear out of nowhere when I'm trying to catch something. IT'S LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE!!!" He commented sarcastically and started to cast reflect to block the upcoming fire from the Heartless. While using his staff as a shield, Brian pulled out the blaster Kyle had given him and started to return fire. Brian defeated most of the Heartless straight away by pulling headshots at most of them.

"Note to self: Playing shooting games while struck inside after the accident pay off after all so remember to tell Kyle that he was wrong." He quickly said to himself.

He was brought out of his thoughts when one of the Heartless remaining managed to shot the blaster out of Brian's hand and get lost somewhere in the house. Brian stopped castings reflect and struck the Heartless with his staff. The Heartless blocked the attack and broke the 30cm blades that were at each side of the staff. Brian ignored it for the time being and finished the last Heartless off. After watching the heart return to Kingdom Hearts, he carried on his search for Stitch.

"Come out, come out where ever you are" Brian called out as he walked back into the hallway, "I'm not gonna hurt ya!" he lied but then came to a halt when he saw Scrump the doll come in the hallway, tied to a holler skate. "What the-" Brian said while looking at the doll curiously. He didn't get to finish his comment because the doll decides to explode right in his face and send him flying through the kitchen. Brian sat up and saw Stitch climbing on the ceiling and was heading towards the living room.

"C'mon?? What's the big deal??!!" Brian asked as he got up from the floor and started to follow Stitch. Brian knew Stitch's language so he'll be able to understand his comments. (A/N: Underline means Stitch talking in his language.)

"You're going to take me apart!" Stitch replied in his alien language.

"I'll put you back together again." Brian assured while summoning his staff again and started to charge a certain spell he learned years ago. "I'll make you taller and less fluffy." He added as he entered the room. "BLADES!" Brian started to fire orange coloured air slashes at Stitch's direction but he managed to dodge and the slashes went through the ceiling.

"I LIKE FLUFFY" Stitch commented while dodging Brian's attacks.

Max came to view of Lilo's house and quickly stopped to catch his breath. When he looked back at the house, he could see the air slashes coming out of the roof. Max knew who was using whose attacks and watched as more slashes when through the roof. "It's confirmed, Brian's in a bad mood." Max said to himself. He looked behind him to see if there was any sign of Sora, Donald or Goofy. He signed after awhile and headed towards the house.

Back in the house, Stitch was on the ceiling and was looking at Brian who had stopped his attacks.

"You only created me because of the horrors of your past" Stitch told him, not realising the pattern of holes Brian had made.

"Oh, leave my past out of this!!" Brian raged, Stitch grinned as a response but that stopped when part of the ceiling that Stitch was staying on collapsed and leaved him under lots of rubble.

"You know, you could do with a makeover." Brian said as he headed towards the pile of rubble, "I tried to give you my good looks while Jumba wasn't looking but lets face it, something went wrong." Brian started to search through the rubble when Lilo came up to him and started to hit him with a broom. Brian shielded his face with his arms while Lilo was attacking him. Brian took the broom off of Lilo and threw it on the other side of the room. He was about to say something to Lilo when Stitch busted out off the rubble, picked Brian up and chucked him out the window. Brian got up and quickly checked his right arm over before jumping back up through the window.

More Heartless had appeared and started to go after Stitch; Lilo was shocked to see that the creatures from her dreams were real and stayed behind Stitch. Stitch jumped on one of the soldier's head and bit it straight off, making it fall to the ground. He took the Heartless's blaster and shot all the other Heartless until the blaster ran out off ammo and threw it to the side. Stitch then went back to Lilo in a defence stand as he saw Brian approach them.

"Quick, This way" Lilo called. She opened the back door only to find a dog-like person in the way.

"You're alive!" He cheered, which didn't lasted long as Lilo slammed the door right in his face.

"They're all over the place." Lilo screamed, having her back against the door to prevent Max coming in. Lilo and Stitch looked towards the doorway and saw Brian come in.

"Running away? Well, I'm here to stop you." He said as he summoned his staff and done a Blade attack towards them. Lilo and Stitch moved out of the way of the attack and the slash ended up hitting Max who on the other of the door. "Max! Two words for you, GO AWAY!!" he shouted when he saw Max come into the doorway and slam Brian up against the wall.

"Brian! You need to calm down." Max told him

"I will when you LET ME GO!!!"

"I called Sora, Donald and Dad. They're on their way now."

"YOU WHAT!?!" Brian had now pushed Max away and slammed him in the wall.

"Hello? Cobra Bubbles? Aliens and Heartless are attacking my house." Lilo said on the phone in the other room. Brian started to push Max in the room that Lilo was in.

"Get her off the phone. We don't need a world on world incident." Brian commanded.

"Bit too late for that Brian." Max commented before trying to stop Lilo. Stitch must have gone outside some time ago because he ended up smashing the entire kitchen wall with a rusty, light blue buggy car. Stitch chucks it up in the air so he had a better grip on it when he saw Brian.

"Blue punch buggy." Stitch called out and swung the buggy at Brian, making him go flying into a bedroom. "No punch back." he added and threw the buggy car into his chest. Brian groaned from the pain, he quickly took control of his breathing before doing anything else.

"Gravity" Brian breathed out and a purple aura surrounded the car. Brian trusted his arm forward which made the car go in the same direction, sending Stitch back outside. Brian got up and quickly cast cure over himself. Brian walked in the completely destroyed living room while holding his chest and saw more Armada Soldiers appear. Brian sighed with annoyance and started to get rid of the Heartless.

"They want my dog." Lilo shouted down the phone while using the other hand to block the battle noise coming from the other room.

"There's no need to call the officials." Max told her, clearly she wasn't listening. Max looked in the other room and saw Brian fighting off the Heartless. Max looked back at Lilo, quickly took the phone off of her and changed his voice. "Everything is under control." Lilo quickly pushed Max out of the way, grabbed the phone again and looked at what Stitch was doing.

"Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw. See ya." and with that, she hanged up on the social worker.

Brian finished off the last Heartless when he turned to face Stitch who was currently standing on top of the blue buggy car, with a ripped chainsaw, laughing like a crazy people. If that's not crazy sight, then I don't know what is. Stitch jumped off the car and attempted to cut Brian in half. Brian acted fast and threw his staff at him, making Stitch drop the chainsaw and fall into the kitchen. Stitch looked around and found Brian's blaster, he pulled the trigger to fire but Brian managed to put a carrot up the mussel.

"You shouldn't play with guns." Brian said while looking at him, Stitch was looking at the blaster and saw that it was getting bigger.

"Oh ok." Stitch replied and gave the blaster to Brian.

"Thank you" Brian looked at the blaster and knew what was wrong immediately. "Er…I just remembered. It's your birthday." Brian said, passing the blaster back to Stitch who was trying to get away. "Happy Birthday." he added and tried to escape. Stitch pulled on his shirt and chucked the blaster back to him.

"Merry Christmas." Stitch replied

"It's not Christmas" Blaster went back to Stitch.

"Happy Hanukkah." Blaster went back to Brian

Max saw what was going on and grabbed Lilo. "We leaving Stitch?" she asked while being carried away by Max.

"Trust me. This isn't going to end well." Max replied as he headed towards the stairs.

"One potato" Stitch had blaster

"Two potato" Brian had blaster

"Three potato" Stitch had blaster

"Four potato" Brian had blaster

Max ran down the stairs with Lilo in his arms and started to head towards the tree line.

"My…"

"Mother…"

"Drove…"

"Me…"

"You…"

"Are…"

"Dead."

"HA! I Win!"

KABOOM!!!

The green coloured explosion ripped the house up and sends it all across the island. The explosion made Max loose balance; he ended up dropping Lilo and flying away a distance further. Brian came shooting in the same direction and ended up crashing into Max after he got himself up. Lilo didn't seem to notice thought, all she saw was that the only home she had ever had had just been destroyed.

BOWBOWBOW

Sora, Donald and Goofy turned their attention to the green coloured explosion that wasn't too far from where they were. Goofy rushed in the direction of the explosion, Sora and Donald soon got the curiously to check the explosion out. When Sora and Donald got there, they saw Brian lying on the floor unconscious and Max close to unconsciousness by the effect of Goofy's bear hug.

"Oh Maxie. I'm so glad that you're okay. I don't know what I do if I lost ya." Goofy hugged a little tighter, making Max turn purple.

"Hey dad, if you love me so much then how about you let me go so I can breathe." Max gasped as much as he could. Goofy looked at his son and let him go.

"Oops. Sorry son." Goofy said and the two, along with Sora and Donald looked at the unconscious Brian. Max told them that he had tried everything he could think of to try and wake Brian up which gave Donald an idea. Donald walked up to the sleeping Brian and got his wizard staff out.

"THUNDER!!"

A huge thunderbolt came out of nowhere and hit Brian straight in the chest. Brian jolted up straight away and then clanged onto his chest in pain. Seeing this, Sora looked at Donald.

"I think you overdid it Donald." Sora pointed out

"How can I overdo it? I had just learned the spell again so how could I overdo it!!!" Donald raged

"Don't worry guys. Donald didn't overdo it." Max assured them; Sora and Donald stopped their argument and faced Max, "Brian just got a buggy car slammed into his chest." Max turned to Brian and helped him up. "Are you okay Brian?"

"Yeah I think so." Brian's mind then flashed back to the events that happen a couple of minutes ago. He just laughed to himself while the others wondered why he was laughing. "Looks like I got a prize from winning after all." Brian commented, referring to the explosion. Max knew what he was talking about and chuckled to themselves while Sora, Donald and Goofy didn't get it at all.

"Hey Brian?" Max asked

"Yeah?"

"The Heartless that we saw, don't they belong to that captain you got fired back in Little Devon?"

"You're right." Brian agreed and started to think of what purpose whoever it was has with Stitch. Sora walked up to Max while he was waiting for an answer.

"Who's this guy you're talking about?" Sora asked

"Gantu. He used to be the captain of Little Devon's alliances until Brian managed to find information on him using Heartless and was involved with the endless attack that had ended Hikari's brother's life as well as Vaan's brother and Brian's sister Angel. After hearing that, Daniel personally wanted to send him to Kingdom Hearts himself because he cared about his sister so much but instead he send Gantu away. No one had heard from him since, until today that is."

Sora turned to Brian who had now summoned his staff. "Brian. You had a sister?"

Brian stopped in front of the others, "She was like a sister to me, yeah."

Sora was about to ask Brian about what he meant 'like a sister' when Donald and Goofy stopped him.

"We'll tell you later, Sora" Donald said.

"Yeah, now's not the time for this." Goofy finished. After that, more Armada Soldiers appeared along with Shadows and Soldiers. Brian was ready to fight when he heard Lilo's name being heard from the distance. He noticed Max to follow him when ready and then looked at Sora.

"We have to go find Stitch. You sure you don't need my help against these Heartless Sora?" Brian taunted.

"Positive." Sora replied confidently while summoning his Keyblade. Brian still noticed Sora's hand shaking from summoning his weapon but simply ignored it for the moment.

"Good luck guys." Brian and Max then left the group and ran further into the tree line. The Heartless had surrounded the trio and started to step in slowly.

"Like old times, right guys?" Sora cheered

"Yeah, all for one and one for all." Goofy replied, Donald nodded as a reply. Then the three started to fight the Heartless.

Things were as they normally were at first, Sora would take four to five Heartless down at once with his gigantic key, Donald would cast lots of magic and healed anyone that had gotten injured and Goofy was running around, bashing into Heartless like a madman. Things change thought, Donald had noticed that he was curing Sora too many times.

Sora himself didn't feel as strong as he was before. He felt a great amount of pain coming from his swollen arm and now his shoulder blade and head. Sora fell to one knee as Goofy finished off the last Heartless and Donald came over to him. Sora was starting to hear the voice he had heard back at Notre Dame.

Secrets are there to determine your destiny

So how many are your so-called friends keeping from you

But I'll tell you this

Sometimes dreams can also tell your destiny

And can also tell mine.

Sora's eyes widened, if that was true then there was a chance of Kairi getting killed by the Colonel. He wasn't going to let that happen. He was curious about the secrets bit though, it's properly nothing important. The pain finally when away and Donald and Goofy helped him up.

"Are you okay Sora?" Donald asked

"Yeah, I'll live." Donald and Goofy still had worried expressions on their faces but decided to leave the subject for now, "C'mon, lets catch up with Brian and Max." The two nodded and followed Sora further into the tree line.

BOWBOWBOW

When Sora, Donald and Goofy had caught up with Brian and Max, they saw Nani in front of them questioning them while they had Stitch in his hands with cuffs on. Brian and Max pretend to not know what Nani was talking about until she started to yell from the top of her voice.

"Lilo! She's a little girl, this big..." she said while making a size with her hands to show how big she was, "She has black hair and brown eyes and she hangs around with that THING!" she shouted, pointing at Stitch who eyes filled with guilt.

Sora decides to walk in at that moment that is immediately brought to Nani attention. "We know her. Why? What happened?" Sora asked

"A huge whale thing put Lilo in its ship and flew off." Nani explained while holding back her tears from the lost for her sister, "and these two are saying that they can't get her back." Sora then turned back to Brian and Max who were unaware that Stitch was approaching the upset Nani.

"Why can't we save Lilo?!" Sora demanded, he only guess was that the whale thing was Gantu Brian and Max had mentioned earlier.

"Because we have to deliver 626 and if we do help, we would be meddling with other people's affairs." Brian explained

"We caused these affairs! We have to save Lilo!" Sora statement

"Again, that would be multi-tasking and since Kairi isn't involved this time, you can take my answer as a no." Brian began to walk away when he noticed that Stitch wasn't with him. "Hey, where's 626?"

"Ohana." Stitch said to Nani. Nani looked up at Stitch and wiped her tears away. She was about to ask him what he just said when Brian came over to them and picked Stitch.

"You'll stay away from her." Brian told Stitch

"NO!" Nani screeched and pull Stitch out of Brian grip so Stitch was in front of Nani, "What did you say?"

"Ohana." Stitch repeated, "Ohana means Family. Family means-"

"Nobody gets left behind…" Nani cut him off

"Or forgotten. Yeah." Stitch finished. Brian and Max couldn't get what gotten into Stitch while Sora, Donald and Goofy looked at him proudly. Stitch thought of something quickly and then looked at Brian. "Hey Brian, let me go so I can rescue Lilo for my mistakes." Stitch demanded.

"WHAT?!?" Brian yelled out of surprise and raged. He walked up to Stitch, picked him up and started to yell in his face. "After all that you put me through, you want me to let you go just like that. JUST LIKE THAT?!?"

"Ei" Stitch simply replied. Brian thought about it for the minute then groan with annoyance.

"Fine!" he growled and started to searched for the key. Sora's communicator started to go off so he stepped away from the group to answer it.

"You're actually letting him go?" Max asked, surprised that Brian had chanced his mind so quickly.

"If we do this then we'll be able to get the family aura that I need to collect." Brian replied as he unlocked Stitch's cuffs and Stitch jumped out of his hands. "Besides, this is our fault so we need to fix this together." Goofy and Donald cheered for Brian's realisation as Sora got off the communicator.

"What actually are we doing?" Max asked

"Rescuing." Brian said proudly

"We're going to get Lilo?" Nani gasped with happiness

"Ei" Stitch replied to her, happily.

"But how are we gonna save her?" Donald asked, bring everyone's hopes down.

"Just look up guys and our question will be answered." Sora told everyone, grinning ear to ear. Everyone looked up and saw a ship blocking the sun's rays and started to fly to the side of them. Everyone looked in that direction and saw that it was Brian's gummi.

"My Gummi!!" Brian cheered happily. The door opened and Hikari was waving like mad and threw a rope ladder down. Everybody started to head towards the ship while Stitch cheered with excitement. Sora then looked at Stitch before he grabbed the rope ladder.

"What? You don't think we walked, didn't ya?" Sora laughed

"Naga." Stitch replied and jumped on Sora's back before Sora started to climb the rope ladder.
