Skillet - Battle Cry
Chapter 18 - "They will hear our battle cry"
You know that feeling you get, the feeling when you realize the whole world has just been stuffed into your backpack and the only one who can carry it is you. That is where I'm at now. Now I have to find a way to keep all experiments here, on this planet. I can't let the Federation do this. They can't do this, Can they? I'm so lost, how is this possable? My breathing is getting very complicated right now.
"Popper, You need to sit down, now" Lilo said to me as I started panicing.
I could barly understand what she said but I sat down. I felt a tear fall from my face. I looked in every direction. Everyone sounded like they were at the oppesite side of a tunnal. I remember rubbing the tear off my cheek, and echos of my panicing breath. I had to say something to the Councle woman before she left. I had to.
"You can't take them, You can't have them" I said looking the Councle Woman in the eyes.
"Excuse me, Popper is it?" The Councle woman replied.
"Yes, I Popper, here by state to the Galactic Federation, That as of date of discovery of Experiment having offspring, or Earth's discovery of the existince of us or any other sort, I Popper, will attend a Councle court meet, to fight for all experiments to be our own race." I said firmly.
Everyone stared at me, with a quiet pause. Just then I saw the look on The Councle woman's face go from being confused to a smile and then to serius.
"Ok then, Popper, has stated his legal terms, wich is now in motion. I look forward to seeing you in the future" The Grand Councle Woman Stated.
"Ih" I replied as she left to her ship and took off.
"What just happend?" Lilo asked.
"Popper, just made a legal contract with the Federation, he will fight in a Councle meeting for us" Sarah said walking over to me and gave me a hug.
"Will this work Popper?" Lilo asked in tears.
"I will do everything in my power to keep us all of us safe" I replied with tears in my eyes too.
"I lost Stitch once too, and now you, I got you both back..." Lilo stated. "I don't want that to happen again" She continued.
"Chi chabada" I said with my paw on my chest. "Anyone messes with us, They will hear our battle cry"
*song starts*
Popper: You're on the edge of giving up
You know I feel it too
You won't be alone because
I'm with you
Bring the fire, bring the smoke, bring the rain
We will bend but we will never break
*everyone started rebuilding the house*
If we believe we can't lose
Even mountains will move
It's my faith, it's my life
This is our battle cry
They can't take us down
If we stand our ground
If we live, if we die
We will shout out our battle cry
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
Popper: Can you hear it?
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
Popper: Can you feel it?
*held Lilo's hand and staired in her crying eyes*
Popper: It seems like no one knows
How you've been feeling
You're hiding all your hopes
You stopped believing
It's not over, we're one step away
We will bend but we will never break
*Lilo wipped away her tears and helped rebuild the house*
Popper and Lilo: I believe we can't lose
Even mountains will move
It's my faith, it's my life
This is our battle cry
They can't take us down
If we stand our ground
If we live, if we die
We will shout out our battle cry
*everyone worked together as a team*
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
Popper: Can you hear it?
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
Popper: Can you feel it?
Everyone: Let it rise like a prayer in the night
Shout for love, shout for hope
Let them hear us
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
ooh ooh Whoah
*Popper and Nani cheers their lemonnaid glasses*
Everyone: I believe we can't lose
Even mountains will move
It's our faith, it's our life
This is our battle cry
They can't take us down
If we stand our ground
If we live, if we die
We will shout out our battle cry
*painting the house*
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
Popper: Can you hear it?
Sarah: Can you hear it?
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
Popper: Can you feel it?
Stitch: Can you feel it?
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
Popper: Can you hear it?
Lilo: I can feel it
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
Popper: Can you feel it?
Everyone: ooh ooh Whoah
ooh ooh Whoah
ooh ooh Whoah...
*song ends as they finished building a bigger and better house*
"Lilo, Stitch...there is something i want to show you" I said. Lilo and Stitch looked at eachother and started following me to a familiar place by the brook. As they looked up, they were greated by a familiar tree house rebuilt begger and better then it was before. "what do you think?" I asked.
"Popper it's amazing" Lilo replied.
"Eegalagoo! It's perfect" Stitch added.
"I'm glad, I will do everything in my power to keep us all safe" I stated.
"Thank you, Popper" Lilo said as she hugged me.
Later that night...
Lilo, Stitch and I were looking at the Stars on the new Tree house.
"When I was in limbo, I felt hopeless, like there was nothing more I could do...but then I felt my Parents, were there guiding me in the right direction, you know?" I said.
"I feel that too, like my Parents are watching over me all the time" Lilo stated.
"Stitch felt lost, and Lilo gave me Family, Ohana" Stitch said.
"You bet I did, Ohana means Family" Lilo said.
"Family means Nobody gets left behind" Stitch said.
"Or Forgotten" I said.
The end...
