A/N: Sorry for the long wait. I've been preoccupied with my own things lately. It's kinda hard to focus on these stories with so much going on in my head and my life. Anyway, here it is.

Another World – Few days earlier...

Jumba Jookiba was working in his lab underneath his ship strictly and strenuously. He glances over at the cracked pod, 628, and sighs sadly. "Hoping this working."

He walks over to the stand that was holding the cracked experiment pod and puts it into the activation chamber. He closes the door and flips the switch as a green liquid fills the container and many electric bolts shock through the pod. The container slowly drains the liquid and when the smoke finally cleared; there was a body lying on the floor. The body looked like it was dis-configured with one eye bigger than the other, the mouth upside down and his legs and arms at different lengths. His amber brown furred body was a frozen statue.

But, Jumba glumly looks over at the motionless body and then to the screen and sees that there were no vitals showing. He sighs as he flips the switch and tries to shock the experiment to life. He sees the bolts of electricity run through the body and then cuts it off. He looks over at the monitor, but once again there was no sign of improvement.

He looks back at the experiment and sighs sadly, "Jumba trying everything, but nothing is working. Nothing can bring experiment 628 back to life."

He pushes a button on the console and a black liquid fills in the container, "Looking like Jumba needing to recycle experiment 628. Maybe new 628 will be functional."

He turns his back to the container as he types on the computer, but stops as he grips the side of the table. He couldn't help but release a small cry as teardrops fall onto the counter. He quietly sniffs and sobs after thinking what he had done, but knew that the experiment would never be anything since it had sustain too much damage. He gulps back a big sob as he looks up to the ceiling, as if it would give him strength to allow him to continue with his project. After a few minutes, he goes back to the computer and rapidly types in the computer what he needed.

The computer showed him that in a couple of days there'll be a double eclipse and he grins, "Jumba can capture energy emitting for power source as well as a way to modify new experiment's powers."

He grins widens, "Maybe re-imagining and recreating 628 won't be that hard."

He walks off to one of his cabinets and takes out a machine that looked like a hybrid of a vacuum cleaner and a blender; it was relatively small though.

He adds happily, "This device will get raw materials and energy from the double eclipse."

He puts it on his table, "Just needing to fix old Pathfinder to make trip."

Jumba puts his hand on a drawer underneath the tabletop and pulls out many tools as he works on the machine.

An hour later...

The once Pathfinder looked more acceptable for Jumba. He put on a new coat of titanium steel alloy on the surface to help it fly at super speed and to help control temperature, gave it a dual motor and a claw hand to grab and automatically teleport the material to his lab. The size of the thing was a big as Lilo and Stitch's hovercars.

He smiles as he grabs a blowtorch and states, "Jumba hereby Christensen Mrani Sprinter for its first voyage in deep space."

He brands the device with 2 J's.

He turns over to the container with the black liquid and his smile falters, knowing what he did was wrong. But, 628 hasn't responded and after many tests to make it animated failed; there was no other choice. He made his ultimatum; either get 628 to work or remake it.

He walks over to the door and was about to leave, but stops as he looks over his shoulder to the container once more. "Sorry, 628. Sorry that it had to come to this, but you weren't doing anything for months after receiving crack on your pod. Hopefully, you'll get a new chance at life."

He leaves the room and allows the liquid to breakdown 628 down.

Day of Double Eclipse...

Jumba was grinning widely as he set his new machine at the direction of the eclipse, making a few adjustments before he launches it into space. After that was finished, he leaves from the launch area and looks around to make sure no one was around to ruin this for him. Once he knows no one is around to stop him, he brings out his remote and pushes a button on it. The device slowly hovers as Jumba looks at it fly into the early morning light and then it went into hyper-drive towards the eclipse. Feeling satisfied, Jumba goes back to the lab and turns to the bigger chamber. He places his hand on it, "Don't worry, 628. You'll be back and better than ever before."

Hours Later...

Jumba was about to lose hope since his drone didn't come back or even sent any usable material. Just when he was going to abort the mission, his computers went into a frenzy as data was being collected. He eagerly smiles as he looks into the second bigger chamber. He sees its capacitors filling with energy from his machine and his second chamber filling up with numerous liquids and other things.

He evilly rubs his hands together, "Yes. Yes. Yes, this is working."

He walks back to his main computer and sees the solid materials being sucked into a funnel-like structure. He hears a sound and is bewildered by it; he carefully walks over to the computer and see that it has found some DNA from Stitch and Angel. But, he was confused because this machine went into space. So how could it obtain DNA from Angel and Stitch from space? He quickly walks over to the machine and is startled of what he sees; a human by his machine inside the glass chamber, more like he was fighting the machine. The man's hands were around the funnel, fighting not to be absorbed. Jumba hits against the chamber shocked, "How did he get in there?"

He could see the young man fighting and Jumba tries to stop the machine, but it wasn't responding to the commands he was keying in.

"Why not stopping," he growls as he tries again.

He goes back and he realizes something, 'No...that can't be? ...Max?'

He immediately goes back to the computer and tries to stop it.

Inside the chamber...

"Damn it!" Max yells as he tries to push the funnel-like structure away from him, but he was being pulled in by the suction as well as the debris hitting his back. "This is not good."

"Help! Help anyone!" he screams loudly as he tries to push the machine back.

He hears a voice, "Max! You've to get out of there before you become something else!"

"What?" Max asks confused. "Don't you think I'm trying!?"

The voice responds, "You won't be able to fight off that thing for much longer."

Max growls, "Don't tempt me!"

He pushes with all his might and kicks himself to the floor, away from the machine.

He dusts himself and stands up, "Now, get me out of here this instant!"

Jumba is lost in thought, 'Is this really Max? Jumba doesn't remembering him being this aggressive before?'

He shakes his head as he rushes over to the chamber and sees Max there, "Max!"

The young man turns around and walks over to him, clearly annoyed. "How do you know my name? And where am I?" Max yells bewildered.

Jumba tries to think of something and snaps his fingers, "Jumba be right back."

Max sees Jumba running into his desk and then bolting back to the glass chamber. Jumba shows this drill-like machine, but the drill bit head was a clear diamond or some stone like that. He turns it on and fires a laser at the glass wall.

Max anxiously waits as he looks back at the machine. He doesn't know why, but he is getting a bad feeling from it. He looks back to the weird guy cutting open the glass wall. However, Max couldn't help but think he has seen him before. He grabs his head as it starts to hurt again. "Why of all times does my head have to hurt now?"

He shakes his head and focuses on the person again, praying to get out of this place and go back home.

Meanwhile...

Max and Jumba didn't notice that the machine was damaged from Max's stunt, not a significant amount of damage. Though, it was starting to give some sparks which was being absorbed by the machine; damaging the machine further as it began to malfunction.

RRRRRRRRRRR!

Jumba and Max see red flashes of light and both knew something bad was happening or about to happen. Jumba quickly stops with what he is doing and runs to the computer. His eyes scan as the error messages start to pile up.

"Oh no!" he cries out as he grabs the device and tries to cut the glass unsteadily and rapidly.

Max knew from the look on the man's face that it was going to be bad soon if he doesn't leave his glass prison. He smells smoke and looks over his shoulder, horrified that the hose is giving off sparks like drops of rain from the clouds. He hits on the glass and screams, "Please, you've to get me out of here!"

Jumba is trying to save Max, but he can only go so fast. Max turns around and notices that there was a strip of broken mechanical wire also leaking sparks next to the damaged funnel. Before he could say a thing, the machine made a huge explosion that shook Max's prison significantly. Both Max and Jumba were sent off their feet from the explosion. Both were unconscious and unaware of the vacuum effect the explosion had in Max's cell. It quickly swallows his upper body and then his lower body as he is sent into the liquid tank. The machine sparks to life as it continues with its assignment. It closes the hole where Max came through, planted some electrodes around and inside the tank and shocks the liquid and Max in it.

He gasps from the shocks as he feels them going through his body. Max wakes up and sees nothing but blackness as he tries to swim out of the mess. He hits a solid surface and continues to punch it as his lungs were burning from holding his breath. Unbeknownst to him, was that his body was slowing changing from a monster to his regular self. He then feels as if the pressure of the water was increasing as it was starting to crush him. He was right. The machine started to form a dome around him and was shrinking it. Once it went down to the size of a marble, he blacked out again and the machine picks it up and gently puts it on a stand.

Minutes later...

Pleakley and the rest of the family came running because Stitch told him he could smell smoke, which lead them to the scene of an unconscious Jumba and a pod on his desk. They thought the experiment from the pod attacked Jumba and he had no choice but to put it back to pod form. While the others were trying to help Jumba, Angel catches a whiff of a scent she kind of knew; however, wasn't 100% sure? She follows it and sees a bracelet; she immediately grabs it and looks around worried.

She stands up and goes back to the family.

"Everybody!" they turn to her and see the bracelet in her paws.

"Is that...?" Nani asks as she looks at Angel's face and Angel nods, "Ih. It isa the one meega made for Max when he came last year."

"Are you sure?" Pleakley asks and she nods again, "Ih. Meega can smell his scent on it. It isa fresh, meaning he was hagata naga that long ago."

They look up to her and Lilo asks shocked, "Where's Max then?"

Stitch growls as he glares at the pod. He points to it, "Cousin! Cousin hurt Jumba and Max!"

"Stitch!" Lilo was shocked, "we can't assume that the experiment hurt both Jumba and Max. Maybe it wasn't even the experiment that did this?"

She turns to Nani for support, "Right Nani?"

She comments unsure, "I don't know baby. These experiments can sometimes get out of control and do bad things."

Lilo retorts as she places her hands on her hips, "But what about the old saying: "Everyone's innocent until proven guilty." We've to listen to the experiment's side of the story too."

"But Lilo," Stitch replies, "gaba more weega need to see? Cousin made mess and hurt Jumba and maybe Max too."

Angel protests, "We naga nota that for sure. All weega see isa a big mess and Jumba out cold on floor. Could be many reasons."

Nani states, more like commanding, "What we need is to take Jumba to a place to heal his wounds and wait for him to wake up?"

Jumba groans sorely, "Ohh..."

"Jumba!" everyone chorus worried.

"Jumba, what happened?" Pleakley asks frantically.

"Reconstruction... Experiment... Max... Pod," he wheezes before passing out.

"Come on," Nani said, "he needs to be treated now."

Stitch carries him while Angel runs back to the pod and snatches it from its stand.

Sometime later...

Lilo, Stitch and Angel were all in the kitchen while Pleakley and Nani were in Jumba and Pleakey's ship's medic room trying to help Jumba. Angel was still looking at the pod, 628's pod. She stands up and immediately gets the attention of Lilo and Stitch.

Stitch asks, "Gaba isa wrong Angel?"

Angel states, "Meega remember something."

She looks at them and adds, "Jumba said he working fixing cousin. Meega believe this is cousin he trying fix."

Lilo nods as she understands, "So...he was trying to fix an experiment and that could've made a mess in his lab. But, what does that have to do with Max?"

"Meega naga nota Lilo," she comments, "but meega isa try to understand it."

"Angel, how youga understand story," Stitch drops his ears. "The two who nota isa Jumba and this cousin."

She smiles as an idea came to her and she rushes to the kitchen with Lilo and Stitch confused as to what she was doing.

"Angel!" Lilo calls.

"In a second!" she replies as she runs back to the living room with a glass of water and goes to the center of the living room.

"Angel, wait a minute here," Lilo voices her opinion, "we don't know what this experiment is capable of."

"But isa like Stitch said," Angel points out, "only cousin and Jumba nota gaba happened in the room. Weega activate cousin and find out gaba happen."

Lilo understands what she was saying, but the fear of Nani's wrath after finding out they'd unleashed an experiment into their house wasn't exactly comforting. However, Angel was right. The only way to fully know what had happen in that room was to ask the experiment since Jumba wasn't going to talk anytime soon.

"Fine, go."

Angel nods as she drops the pod into the cup and retreats to where Lilo and Stitch were. They see the glow of the light becomes brighter as a form emerges from the light. Then as soon as the light appears, it disappears just as fast. On the floor laid an amber brown furred body experiment, unmoving.

Angel slowly walks over to it and nudges it with her nose as it groans, turning on its side. Angel looks over her shoulder and Lilo and Stitch both shrug confused. So Angel nudges with her nose again, but this time she releases a small gasp as she looks at his face.

"Angel gaba isa the matter?" Stitch asks her.

She shakes her head while looking at 628, "Meega naga nota, but isa feels like weega met before."

"You and cousin?" Stitch ask as he looks over and shakes his head, "that isa naga possible. He isa in pod."

"Maybe meega isa seeing things," Angel lightly laughs as Lilo walks over. "Man, he can surely sleep."

Angel and Stitch both nod, "Ih."

Angel leans over the sleeping experiment.

"Cousin," she calls out while shaking his body, "Youga hagata Cousin? Cousin."

It answers without opening his eyes, "Yeah, I'm okay... I think."

It then opens its eyes and before any of us knows it, yells as it crawls away from us.

Max's P.O.V.

'Uhh... I feel so sick. I just wanna sleep some more. Can't they be quiet.'

"Cousin," someone calls out while shaking my body, "Youga hagata Cousin? Cousin."

'They're going to keep this up aren't they? Meaning, I won't get any sleep. Might as well wake up then.'

I answer not opening my eyes, "Yeah, I'm okay... I think."

'Man, once I wake up I'm going to take some medicine because I feel so sick right now.'

I open my eyes and see a pink head with large black eyes, long ears and jagged teeth looking at me. I blink at the creature and yell as I crawl myself away from it. "Get away from me!"

I add as I jump to my feet, "I don't know who or what you are! But I know Tae Kwon Do and I'm not afraid to use it!"

I go to my fighting stance as I glare at the pink-furred creature. "Keep back, I'm warning you. I got some moves that'll keep you down in an instant."

'What is going on here? Was I kidnapped or something? What happened?! Where am I?!' My mind was racing as I glare at the pink and blue creatures.

"Hey," My attention goes back to the pink-furred creature, "youga naga have be afraid of meega."

The blue one nods, "Ih. Weega isa naga going harm youga. Weega isa youga achi-baba."

"What?" I ask confused not understanding what the creatures were talking about, "What language is that? What are you?"

The pink creature steps forward and I step back as I let my eyes scan over it, "Seriously, what are you? Do you have fleas, ticks, bugs, etc.?"

The creature was appalled, "Well, meega have naga been so insulted in meega life."

She states a little annoyed, "Meega isa misa clean. So youga nota."

"How many times do I have to tell you," I was becoming very annoyed myself, "I don't understand what you're saying?!"

The creature sighs, "Lilo, itchibawa help meega out hagata."

I turn to the little girl and ask, "Just where in the heck am I?"

"Calm down," she speaks slowly.

"I am calm down!" I yell at her, "I'm calm! Just tell me where am I! And what these things are here! And what language they're talking in!"

"Just first take a breather," she instructs me as I see her take a breath and I copy.

"Now, this one by me is Stitch. He's a genetic alien experiment, one of the best and my friend," she explains, "over there is Angel. She's one of the many cousins of Stitch."

I look over to the pink-furred creature named Angel, "Angel?"

I look over to the blue-furred creature too, "Stitch?"

I grab my head and lowly whisper, "it sounds vaguely familiar."

Lilo continues, "They speak in tantalog. Angel said 'You don't have to be afraid of me.' and Stitch said, 'Yeah. We are not going to harm you. We are your friends.' And then after your comment of ticks and stuff, she replied. 'Well, I've never been so insulted in my life. I'm very clean. Just so you know.'"

I blush, "Oops, sorry."

"Hmm," Angel turns her head to the side.

I sigh, 'Great... I just insulted a woman by mistake and now I'm the bad guy.'

I look around and then it hits me, 'Oh my god, I'm in Lilo & Stitch's world! But how? I can't stay here! I need to get back to my place. I need to get back home!'

She continues and what she said next catches my attention, "Now cousin, we'll like to ask you something."

"Cousin," I spat confused and then laugh, "Sorry, but no. I'm no way related to any of you."

"Huh?" Lilo says as she looks over to Stitch who shrugs in confusion.

She looks back at me and states, "Yeah, you are."

"No, I'm not. I don't look anything like y-" I stop as soon as I looked at my arm and my hand, but it wasn't a hand; it was a paw. I had a paw with Amber brown fur covering the whole thing. I look down and see that I'm cover in fur.

"Huh? What? No. No, no! No!" I shout as I examine my whole body and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse; I find out I have a little tail "Aah!"

I start running around as I try to find a mirror with Lilo, Stitch and Angel trying to calm me down.

"All right, all right. Aah! Will you settle down? Cousin! Whoa, no! This isn't going to work." Were some of the things I heard until I felt something wrap around my waist and pull me up; then set me down in front of Lilo. I look down and see pink antennae around me slowly retracting themselves into Angel.

"Listen to me," Lilo speaks softly, "you are okay now. But we need to know what happen in the lab with Jumba and our friend Max."

"Max?" I ask confused. "Why do you want to know? More importantly, how do you know him?"

"He came here before," Lilo answers, "He came last year and wasn't really a bad guy. Actually, he was kind of fun to be with."

"Ih," Stitch agrees, "Misa nice guy with butifa heart."

Angel adds, "Butifa achi-baba too."

She laughs, "Even though he isa very... Meega naga explain it."

I look down and think, 'They know me? How? I was never here last year, was I? I can't remember.'

I grab my head as I feel the queasy feeling I had forgotten make its presence known, "Uh oh."

I run pass them and into the kitchen where I found a waste basket and threw up my food I had eaten yesterday.

I mutter, "God... That was horrible."

I wipe my mouth with my paw as I look at it once more, 'What happened to me? Maybe if I play along with this, I might find the answers I've been looking for.'

I walk back and they were waiting for me.

Lilo asks concerned, "You okay?"

I nod, "Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure?" she asks as she walks up to me.

I nod simply and she softly smiles, "Okay, now all we need to do is give you a new name."

Before I could even open my mouth to protest to that because I do have a name; the door opens and immediately Lilo and Stitch rush over to door while Angel runs to me; she grabs my paw and bolts to the closet by the elevator.

I ask as I look around, "Really, of all the places you choose a closet?"

"Well excuse me for not trying to think of something better," she retorts slightly mad.

"This is such an obvious place," I sing softly.

"Be quiet," she repeats my tone as I glare at her with one thought crossing my mind. 'This really sucks.'
