Hey, guys! Welcome to the new chapter of Hilda and Stitch! I hope that you guys will enjoy the chapter. Also, credit to drakin6345 for the creation of his OC Roland Trenton and Amun, and I would like to give credit to 9655 for his help in creating this chapter, and the OC Logan belongs to him as I would be happy to say that he had become my official co-author in the story. Anyway, before we begin, here's the schedule on how the Hilda and Stitch! Story will play out:

A) Lilo & Stitch [Chapter 1 to 3]

B) Hilda: Season 1 [Chapter 4 to 13]

C) Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch {1-Year-Timeskip} [Chapter 14 to 16]

D) Hilda: Season 2 [Chapter 17 to 31]

E) Hilda and the Mountain King [Chapter 32 to 35]

F) Stitch! The Movie {3-Year-Timeskip} [Chapter 36 to 39]

G) Lilo & Stitch: The Series/Hilda: Season 3 [Chapter 40 to 140]

H) Leroy & Stitch {3-Year-Timeskip} [Chapter 141 to 144]

I) Short Epilogue {10-Year-Timeskip} [Chapter 145]

That's about it. Also, before we begin once more, I want to clarify that I have seen Stitch Anime and Stitch & Ai but, while I love both spinoffs, I won't add either of them into the Hilda and Stitch story for two reasons. One, I want to have Hilda be the main protagonist alongside Stitch, and I can't see how both a young or an adult Hilda and Stitch will be able to meet Yuna and Ai or why they would decide to stay with them respectively, far away from home for no good reason. Two, Hilda and Stitch's story will be pretty much done by Leroy & Stitch Movie, so I can't see how to expand even more further than that...anyway, I don't own anything, except for my OC'S.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

~{Hilda and Stitch: Season 1-Episode 4: The Nightmare Spirit}~

"Oh...I hate dark, creepy tunnels." A groaning David said as we see, Hilda, Stitch, and Frida currently having one of their world's famous adventures as, this week, Hilda and Stitch decided that they want to explore one of Trollberg's Storm Drain Tunnels to search for the elusive Rat King as the group was all wearing headlamps with the exception being Stitch since he can see in the dark. "They tend to be filled with things that are horrible," David says before flinching as Stitch appeared behind him and grew out his alien appendages as he roared, scaring the bejesus out of the poor boy as he placed his hand on his heart. "See?!"

"Stitch, stop teasing David." Hilda scolded Stitch as the blue-furred alien chuckled and retracted his alien appendages as Hilda then turned over to place a comforting hand on David's shoulder. "Trust me, David, you'll be thanking me when we get our Sparrow Scout Badges for Subterranean Urban Exploration."

"That's not a real badge." Frida pointed out as Hilda turned to smirk at her cockily.

"Not yet, but Raven Leader will be so impressed with us that she'll have no choice but to create one," Hilda says while giving her friends finger guns as Frida beamed and squealed excitedly.

"Ooh! We'll be the first Sparrow Scouts to earn a badge before it's invented...oh! There should be a badge for that!" Frida says with a giggle as Hilda chuckled as well and nodded.

"Same...also Stitch has been pestering me about finding someone for him to beat up, so if the Rat King shows up out of nowhere and attack us, I'll give him the go-ahead," Hilda added in with a smile as Stitch grinned evilly and punched his fists together while walking forwards with the girls as David gulps fearfully before amplifying the light in his headlights as he followed after the group and, after a few minutes of walking, the peaceful silence was suddenly interrupted when Frida lets out a loud, terrifying scream as an alarmed, scared David turned around and gasped as he saw that his friend has completely disappeared.

"F-Frida?"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Stitch! Help!/Hilda! Stitch coming!" Hilda and Stitch shouted panickedly/determinedly as David turned around and saw a screaming Hilda being dragged away by an unknown enemy with a glaring Stitch running after her as David's fear got the best of him, and he proceeds to turn around and run away as the young boy panted nervously before grunting as David tripped over something and fell down into the knee-length rainwater bellow as he groaned.

"Ugh, ow," David says with a wince while sitting up from the ground as he spits out rainwater in disgust before gasping as his headlamp started malfunctioning, and the light went out as David groans in frustration. "Flipping headlamp!" David cutely cursed while taking off his headlamp as he punched it a couple of times and, eventually, the brown-haired boy was able to get it to work as it turned on and flashed the room with light as a stunned David was shocked to see a 7-feet-tall, assortment of glowing red-eyed sentient rats that had their tails tied together standing in front of him and David couldn't help but to scream in fear as the now named Rat King glared down at the frightened little boy with murderous glints in their eyes as they hissed loudly in unison.

"A-At least the last thing I ever did was be right!" David exclaimed nervously just as the Rat King all pounced on him to begin eating his flesh and bones as David lets out a loud fearful scream and closed his eyes as he waited for his quick yet terrible death...only for nothing to happen as David tentatively opened his eyes, and blinked a couple of times as the young boy saw that he was currently in his bedroom, resting on his bed with his blue PJs as David sat up and looked around as he sighs in relief before screaming against as he felt something furry rubbing against his stomach. Thinking that it was the Rat King trying to eat his flesh, a panicking David grabbed the unknown furry intruder and throws it out of his bed as he panted heavily...before seeing that the furry object was really his stuffed bear as David winced and got out of the bed. "Oh, sorry, Warren, had a nightmare is all. Sorry for hurting you." David says apologetically while walking over to pick up his stuffed toy bear as he hugs it.

"David! Your friends are here!" Amy shouted from outside of his room as David sighs heavily but reluctantly placed his toy bear in his bed as he quickly got dressed and did his morning routine before running out of his room as David made his way out of his apartment while also making sure to eat a quick breakfast made by his mom.

"Whoo-hoo! Yeah! Whoo!" Hilda and Frida cheered excitedly as we cue outside of David's Apartment Building and we see the girls being tossed into the air by Stitch, who had his alien appendages out as he used his four hands to toss his friends into the air and catch them when they fall before tossing a squealing Hilda and Frida back up into the air as David appeared and freezes in shock by what he sees as he ran over to stop them.

"Guys, what are you doing?! You're in public! People will see you!" David whispered-hissed worriedly as Stitch turned to him while casually catching a pair of laughing Hilda and Frida as he places them back on the ground gently and retracted his alien appendages.

"No worry, David. No one around to see. Too early." Stitch says reassuringly while dropping down on all fours as Hilda nods and rubbed her alien friend's head.

"Yeah, Frida and I just decided to have some fun with Stitch while we waited for you to come. No harm done. Anyway, before we plan out what we should do today, we need to do our daily bug check, so twirl around for us, David." Hilda says as her friend nodded and spread out his arms as David twirled around, and the trio was able to spot a bug on the young boy's back as, before either of the girls had a chance to reach out and pull it out of David's body, Stitch opened up his mouth, and his tongue shot out like a frog as it snatched up the bug from the brown-haired kid's back and proceeds to pull back his tongue as Stitch swiftly ate the bug whole.

"Ewww, bug check complete," Hilda says while sticking out her tongue as she and Frida glance down at Stitch in disgust as Experiment 626 merely shrugged at them while letting out a satisfied burp as the blue-haired girl grimaces before composing herself as she smiled at her friends brightly. "So, what are we going to do today?" Hilda asked excitedly, eagerly wanting to seize the day and find a fun adventure for them to do as Frida raised her hand. "Yes, Frida?"

"We could ride bikes?" Frida suggested as Hilda shakes her head.

"We can't. I don't know how to ride a bike." Hilda admitted casually as her friends stared at her in shock.

"What do you mean you don't know how to ride a bike? Every kid knows how to ride a bike." A disbelief David says as his blue-haired friend gave him a flat look and crossed her arms.

"Yeah, except for the kids who were raised in the wilderness where no bike riding was possible." Hilda pointed out as David winces sheepishly and gave her an apologetic look.

"Oh, sorry," David says as Hilda waved it off.

"It's fine. My Mom has been thinking of teaching me how to ride this last weekend after Mr. Trenton found out that I've never ridden a bike before. We're planning to all go to a bike shop to buy me my first bike. It's going to be great." Hilda says with an excited smile as her friends smiled at her and nod.

"Good for you, Hilda," Frida says with an encouraging smile and a thumbs-up as David suddenly perks up and raises his hand.

"Ooh, oh, oh, I have an idea. Why don't we go out swimming at the public pool?" David asked as Hilda flinched at hearing Stitch letting out a sharp gasp and was quick to hide behind her as he trembled in fear. "What's wrong with him?"

"Oh, yeah, I been meaning to tell you guys about this, but...we can't do anything swimming related with Stitch on the account that he's afraid of water," Hilda explained while rubbing Stitch's head to calm him down as Frida and David stared at the duo with surprised/disbelieving looks on their faces.

"W-What? Really?" Frida asked with a raised eyebrow as both she and David were surprised to hear that the usual fearless Stitch, who fought giant aliens and Trolls, is scared of something as harmless as water.

"Ih. Stitch can't survive in water. Molecular Density is too great. Will sink like a rock." Stitch explains as David nodded in understanding while Frida blinked confusedly as she tilted her head curiously.

"So, wait, you were created to be Jumba's weapon of mass destruction, right?"

"Ih." Stitch says while nodding as he looks down sadly, not liking the destructive evil person that he once was as Hilda patted his head to comfort him.

"To destroy every single thing you touch, including planets, right?"

"Ih."

"Then why would Jumba give you such a huge, glaring weakness as water?! That seems like a huge design flaw to me." Frida pointed out as Hilda pops in between them.

"Oh, Pleakley and Alfur have told me stories of all of the planets that he explored and all of the known planets recorded in the Galactic Federation Database, and they said that Earth is rather unique compared to all of the other planets in the Galaxy since we're the only planet that has such large bodies of water in them."

"Seriously?!" A shocked/intrigued Frida and David asked as Hilda and Stitch nodded.

"Ih. Jumba no wanted me to go to Earth. Too dangerous for Stitch to destroy."

"Interesting, so why did you come here in the first place, to begin with? It seems illogical to me, an 11-year-old girl, for you come to a planet where it's 71% covered in water." Frida says sassily while placing her hand on her hips as Stitch gave her an annoyed look and scoffed.

"Stitch running from Galactic Federation. Meega had no choice but to come here. At least, Stitch was smart enough to steer meega stolen Space Cruiser to land here in Trollberg instead of an island or something." Stitch says, forcing himself to talk in clearer English due to Hilda's friends not being able to understand his real language like she can, weirdly enough, as Frida nodded and was about to ask more questions, only for a bored Hilda to let out a dramatic sigh as she stepped forwards.

"Come on, guys, we can do way better than this! Riding bikes? Swimming? That's normal kid stuff! We live in a world where magic and aliens exist, for Raven's sake! We need to go out into the city and really have a look around! There's so much we've never seen! So much we don't know! There's mystery everywhere you look! Like...who's that girl?" Hilda asked while suddenly pointing behind her as the group saw a pig-tailed light blonde-haired teenager leaning against an alleyway with a bored look on her face. The strange, mysterious, unknown teenage girl was really a 5'6-feet-tall, 16-year-old Marra with black eyes, long light blonde hair that is pulled back into two high pigtails, pointy ears, a small pointy nose, red pimple dots on her forehead/cheeks, a sharp chin, a tall slim built, Caucasian skin, and her outfit consists of a long-sleeved over-sized black sweatshirt with a light pink scarf wrapped around her neck, salmon pink tights, and black sneakers. Her name is unknown, but I would like to call her Angelica the Marra.

"No, seriously, who is she, and where did she come from? I couldn't help but notice that one day she suddenly appeared and started stalking us for the past week or so. And what's weird is that she wasn't here when Stitch was tossing me and Frida into the air or when we were talking. She just appeared out of thin air and started staring at us creepily like a stalker...ooh, maybe she has some magical secrets that are unknown to us and is scheming something to hurt us?" Hilda asked while making scary noises as Stitch turned to look at Angelica suspiciously due to not hearing her walk close to them, and the blue furry experiment sniffed at her cautiously as Stitch smelled something that he didn't like and growled as he glared at the Marra. "Huh, what's wrong, Stitch?" Hilda asked while bending down to Stitch's eye level as she placed her hand on his back.

"Girl evil. Meega sense it." Stitch explains with a fierce glare as, usually, little normal kids will be terrified if they hear something like this but, due to Hilda not being a normal girl, the blue-haired adventurer actually got excited by the news as she turned to her friends.

"Aha! See? I told you that girl has some mysterious dark evil secret!" Hilda stated smugly while getting up from the floor as her friends scoffed at this doubtfully, and David gave her a skeptical look.

"Really, guys? That's just some new girl from America that moved into Trollberg recently and moved into the vacant house in our streets." David says while waving off the duo's theory as Hilda grinned slyly at what he said.

"Ooh, a mysterious foreigner that moved in recently? This mystery just keeps getting better and better." Hilda says while rubbing her hands in delight/glee as Frida rolls her eyes at her friend's antics and walks over to place her hand on Hilda's shoulder.

"Hilda, when you lived in the wilderness, you're used to seeing the supernatural and the weird, but it doesn't happen here in Trollberg that much," Frida says as Hilda slowly turned to give her friend a very blank look. "...Well, okay, maybe this town is filled with weird magical creatures and such, but it doesn't mean that EVERYTHING here has something related to magic and such. I mean, sure, the whole stalking thing might be a bit...creepy, but maybe she's just a new girl that moved into the city and is trying to befriend or talk to us about something but is too shy to do so." Frida theorized with a shrug as Hilda frowns stoically and shakes her head.

"Hmmm, I don't know. You might not get this since you live a relatively normal life, but I have this...thing in my head that alerts me of the supernatural and the weird. I had the same sense on the day that Stitch crashed landed on Earth, and it lead me to him. And, right now, my thing is telling me that girl over there is strange. Even Stitch can sense that there is something odd with her." Hilda says while pointing down at Stitch, who said nothing and continued glaring at the Marra as Angelica did the same to the little alien experiment upon realizing that she was being glared on.

"Says the Queen and King of the Odd." Frida teases playfully. "Anyway, we're supposed to be suspicious of this random teenage girl because your Hilda Tingle or whatever is tingling?"

"Please don't call it that," Hilda says with a straight face as Frida blinks at this before grinning mischievously as she giggled.

"What's wrong, Hilda? Is your Hilda Tingle tingling? Is there a random monster nearby? Should we hide? I mean, if your Hilda Tingle is alerting us of danger, then I think we should run! Quick, everyone, hide in your houses! Hilda's Tingle is tingling!"

"Stop it, Frida! It doesn't sound cool if you say it like that!" Hilda whined childishly/angrily while weakly slapping Frida on her arm as a laughing Frida moved away from her and raised her hands in surrender as David laughs at this and Hilda fumes with an embarrassed blush on her face.

"He, he, alright, Hilda's Tingle aside, Frida's right. She's probably just a normal teenager. Most teenagers are a bit weird."

"So? People think Giants, Elves, and Aliens are weird, but they're actually quite fun...well, Jorgen, Valfreyja, Alfur, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, and Grandcouncil Woman are fun. The rest of the Elves are rather dull and tedious, and Gantu was...a bit difficult to deal with, admittedly." Hilda says with a rather haunted look on her face as the young adventurer would never forget the day where she and Stitch got kidnapped by Gantu, and he was threatening to send her to some alien zoo or whatever to use as a snack as the whole experience was...traumatic to say the least.

"Gah! Hilda! Wokuo guv iv rowking fliujo! (Hey! Hilda! Weird girl is walking away!)," Stitch alerted Hilda and the others while barking at Angelica, who placed her hands inside of the front pocket of her sweatshirt as the Marra begins walking away.

"Oh, thanks for the warning, Stitch! Come on, guys, she's getting away!" Hilda yelled at her friends as she and Stitch ran after the Marra as Frida turned to David and shrugged at him as she decided to rush after the famous duo, leaving behind a groaning David as he reluctantly followed after the group. "This way!" Hilda yells after spotting Angelica turning the corner into an alleyway as the group was quick to chase after her...only to gasp as they saw that the alleyway was completely empty. "Wow, she moves fast for someone who walks so slow."

"Ih." Stitch says in agreement before turning on his X-Ray/Microscopic/Infrared Vision as the alien experiment tried to scan the area for any sign of Angelica, only to see that she was nowhere in sight as Stitch raised an eyebrow suspiciously and turned off his X-Ray/Microscopic/Infrared Vision as he turned to his friends. "No sign of teenage girl anywhere."

"What? Really? Are you sure?" A surprised Frida asked as she figured that the mysterious teenage girl was simply hiding behind something nearby but to hear that she had completely vanished was really surprising.

"Ih." Stitch says with a nod as David flinched nervously and shifted his eyes around fearfully.

"Whoa, how was she able to escape us that fast?" David asked as Hilda shrugged.

"You said it yourself, teenagers are weird, but this one seems to be more weirder than the rest. I say we investigate and find out who that mysterious girl is." Hilda says with a determined smirk while punching her fists together as Stitch nodded eagerly while Frida seemed interested in unraveling this mystery as a frightened David, however, shakes his head and raised his hands as he took a couple of steps back.

"T-This is getting too spooky. Let's just go to the park instead." David suggested anxiously, not wanting to find out who that strange girl was, as Hilda smiled at this amusedly and walks over to place her hand on his shoulder.

"You scare awfully easy for someone who's always covered with bugs," Hilda says playfully while removing a bug from David's shoulder as Stitch was quick to zoom over to snatch it out of Hilda's hand as he ate the bug.

"S-Sorry, I'm a bit jumpy. It's probably on the account of having nightmares all week."

"All week?!" A wide-eyed Hilda asked as she shared a look with Frida and Stitch as the trio shared a concerned look for David's mental health and turned back to him. "What do you think is causing them?" Hilda asked as David winced and looked away as he coughed awkwardly.

"U-Uh, don't take this the wrong way, but...it's obviously you and Stitch that is causing my nightmares."

"Me?! What did I do!?/Meega!? What did Stitch did?!" Hilda and Stitch exclaimed in unison as they were shocked by what David said.

"Well, you two are always dragging us into these crazy dangerous adventures like when the Vittra Mutant Zombie Apocalypse happened or when we had a Troll Baby in school!"

"Well, to be fair, how would Stich and Hilda have known that they were doing the Sparrow Scout assignment with us in a valley where the Vittra's lived? Second, it was Jumba's fault that the whole zombie invasion happened, not them. Third, you were the one that found the Troll Baby, remember? Hilda and Stitch were actually trying to help you hide the Troll Baby before anyone found out that you've brought one to school accidentally." Frida pointed out, defending her friends as David blinked in realization and rubs his neck nervously as he sighs.

"W-Well, I guess that you have a point there, but still, what about the other offscreen adventures that we had? Like when we fought off that giant Cyclops or the whole Gnome incident? And, also, Hilda's always telling us all of these weird, creepy stories that she has heard from Mr. Trenton."

"Oh, yeah! Like that one story where Mr. Trenton told me that Trollberg used to have dozens upon dozens of rats crawling around the city, but due to a sudden plague that hits the town, all of the rats in Trollberg were forced to race down into the sewers all at the same time and became hopelessly tangled together with their tails. Over time, they came to speak, think and act as one as they now call themselves the Fearsome Rat King and scurry across the sewers to find their prey to eat their flesh and bones." Hilda says with her and Stitch making scary faces and noises as a now freaked out David screamed panickedly.

"Aah! See?! That's why I had a nightmare about rats!" David yelled while trembling in fear as Hilda and Stitch sees this and felt guilty for scaring their friend as the duo gave the brown-haired boy sympathetic looks.

"We're sorry about scaring you, David. We didn't mean to."

"Then why did you call it 'The Fearsome Rat King'?" An exasperated, annoyed David asked Hilda.

"It sounded cool," Stitch answered as his blue-haired friend nodded while walking over to him.

"Yeah, besides, what's wrong with 'fearsome'? Stitch is pretty fearsome, and you're not scared of him, are you?" Hilda asked while bending down to Stitch's level as she smushes his cheeks together to try and make him look cute as possible as David smiles softly and chuckles as he shrugs.

"I guess not, but still, the Rat King genuinely terrifies me," David says as Hilda stops smashing Stitch's cheeks and placed a thoughtful finger on her chin as she then beamed when an idea popped into her head and stood up from the floor.

"Don't worry, David, I have an idea how to help you get rid of your nightmares."

"Really?" A disbelieving yet hopeful David asked as Hilda nodded with a smirk.

"Yep, but first, we need backup from a couple of aliens that we know. Come on, follow me, guys," Hilda says while running off as the others follow after their friend.

---

After twenty minutes of running, we see the gang arriving at Hilda and Stitch's Apartment Complex as they made their way up to the duo's apartment and run over to Jumba's Room/Lab as Stitch place his hand on the Hand Censor that was placed on the door and, after scanning Stitch's DNA, it eventually opened up to reveal the 'evil' genius's room/lab inside as the group walked inside.

"So, what are we doing here, Hilda?" Frida asked as Hilda glances around the room and purses her lips as she realized that it was empty.

"Well, if we're going to help David conquer his fears and stop his nightmares, we need some equipment and back up from a couple of aliens that we know, but Pleakley is not in his room, and neither is Jumba, so they must be doing some experiments in their ship," Hilda says matter-of-factly as Stitch nods in agreement. "But don't worry, we should be able to go to Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship in just a bit," Hilda says while walking over to the shelf as she began looking for something through the several boxes stacked on it.

"Spaceship? Wait, you mean the same spaceship that Jumba and Pleakley arrived on Earth with? Didn't you two say that it was located in the woods?" David asked with a raised eyebrow as Hilda nodded while still looking for something in the shelves as Stitch figured out what she was looking over and stood up on his two feet as he walked over to help her out.

"Yeah, Jumba and Pleakley couldn't hide their Spaceship in Trollberg since there wasn't a space big enough to hide their ship. Plus, they were worried that humans might accidentally find it, so Jumba and Pleakley decided to leave it hidden in the woods," Hilda explains just as Stitch found a small remote in one of the boxes on the shelf as he handed it over to his friend. "Oh, thanks, Stitch."

"Chugulaka (You're welcome)," Stitch says while saluting her as Frida raises an eyebrow at the remote that Hilda was holding.

"What's that?"

"Oh, this remote will help us get to Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship quickly without having to drive into the woods."

"How?" David asked as Hilda and Stith smirked at him slyly.

"Oh, you will see," Hilda says while walking over to grab Frida's hand as Stitch went over to do the same with David. "Hold on tightly. You might feel a slight tingling sensation." Hilda warns while pressing a button on the remote as she quickly hid the remote inside of one of her pockets and swiftly reaches out to grab Stitch's hand.

"Wait, what-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Frida and David asked before screaming in fear as a blue glow covered their bodies, and the gang was suddenly teleported out of the room as Hilda, Stitch, Frida, and David were warped over to the Trollberg Woods, specifically the valley from where Hilda and Joanna's House used to be in as Frida and David glance across the area in shock. "What the what?! How did we appear in the woods so fast!?" A shocked Frida and David asked as Hilda and Stitch gave them amused looks and chuckled.

"Jumba created a pair of teleportation remotes that helps people warp over from my Apartment Complex to the meadow where Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship was parked in and vice-versa," Hilda says while briefly taking out the teleporting remote to show it off as she then pocked it.

"Jumba has created teleportation technology?! That's amazing!" An awed Frida exclaimed as Hilda giggled and nodded as Stitch shrugged.

"Eh, everyone in the galaxy has teleportation technology. It's just as common alien tech as cars are to Humans." Stitch explains as Frida nods with an intrigued look on her face as a curious David looks around.

"So, where's the ship?"

"Right in front of you," Hilda says with a smirk as she and Stitch clapped their hands together a couple of times as Frida and David gasped in surprise as Jumba and Pleakley's ship appeared before them after dropping down its cloaking shield as the kids took a couple of steps back in extreme shock and awe by what they see. "Like what you see?" Hilda asked smugly as Frida and David nodded silently, too stunned to speak as the hatch opened up and drops down into the ground. "Well, let's go and see if Jumba and Pleakley are in the ship. Oh, and also, be mindful of where you step. We are living in Elf Country, after all." Hilda says as a confused Frida and David looked down and gasp as they realized that they were standing in between what seemed to be a small village of Elves and made sure to carefully step over the small houses and buildings as the group made their way over to the catwalk of the ship.

"S-So, do they just allow you guys to have an alien spaceship parked near their village?" A disbelieving, confused Frida asked as Hilda and Stitch nodded.

"Ih. If Elves allowed Hilda and Joanna to live near their home, they would allow us to keep Jumba and Pleakley's spaceship hidden here in the meadow." Stitch says.

"Yeah, as long as they don't make too much noise or keep all of the Elves up at night with flashing lights, but thankfully, the inside of Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship is soundproof, and they promise to turn off the lights when its nighttime." Hilda says as Frida and David nodded before the group walked into the spaceship as Hilda and Stitch walked along casually while Frida and David scanned the area around them in wonder and amazement as they went 'oohed' and 'ahhh' at what they see.

"Wow, I still can't believe that I'm in an alien spaceship! This is such an exhilarating experience! I have so many questions to ask!" Frida says while twirling around as she clasped her hands together in delight. "Like, why does the inside of the ship looks like an airplane? How fast can this ship fly? And how has nobody found out about this yet?"

"I don't know why it looks like the inside of an airplane, not sure how fast it can go, and the ship's cloaking field helps it keep hidden from the Government and such, I think. I don't really know how the ship works, to be honest. Science and engineering is not really my thing, but I'm sure that Jumba will be happy to answer your questions another time." Hilda says with a smile as Frida smiled as well and nodded.

"Have you two ridden the ship before?" A curious David asked as Stitch nodded.

"Ih. Meega did once. Hilda and Stitch want to fly the spaceship around the Earth for fun, but Joanna doesn't want us to do it. Think it's too dangerous." Stitch says as Hilda nodded with a groan.

"Yeah, it's totally unfair," Hilda complained with a pout before the group walked into the portion of the spaceship from where Jumba's Secondary Large Lab was located as they walked in and saw said evil scientist currently sitting in front of Super Computer while working in what seems to be the schematics for Stitch's Alien DNA as Jumba stared up at it with a grim expression on his face.

"Hey, Jumba," Stitch says while walking over to his creator with the kids following after him as Jumba flinched in surprise by the sound of his creation's voice and was quick to turn off his Super Computer as the evil bald genius turned to smile at the group nervously.

"Ah, 626, and Little Blue-Haired Girl and her friends, it's good to see you all," Jumba says while laughing nervously as he wore a pair of goggles with four lenses, his white scientist lab coat that barely fits him, his green shirt underneath, and grey shorts.

"Hey, Jumba, what are you doing?" Hilda asked curiously while pointing at Jumba's turned-off Super Computer as the evil genius sweated anxiously and coughed as he tried to play it cool and leans against his Super Computer Console.

"O-Oh, nothing much, boring sciency stuff. Anyway, what are you kids all doing here in Jumba's Spaceship?" Jumba asked, both wanting to change the subject and genuinely interested in why 626 and the kids were doing in his ship as Hilda spoke up.

"Oh, we came here to ask for you and Pleakley's help with an adventure. Do you happen to know where Pleakley is?"

"Did someone ask for me?" A grinning Pleakley says while basically twirling into the Jumba's Secondary Lab as he wore a curly blonde wig with blue eyeshadow, pink blush, red lipstick, and was wearing a black/white maid's outfit with black high heel shoes.

"Yeah, I did, Pleakley, I was wondering-Wait, why are you wearing an Earth Disguise? There's no Humans here in the woods for miles." Hilda says while tilting her head confusedly as Stitch and the kids were wondering why Pleakley was wearing a dress when he doesn't need to disguise himself.

"It makes me feel comfortable and helps me clean," Plekaley answered with a smile as he twirled around out to show off his dress.

"Okay..." Hilda says while sharing an odd look with her friends as they shrugged. "Anyway, I was wondering if you and Jumba can help us out on tracking down the Rat King."

"What?!" David exclaimed in shock as Stitch looks excited by what his friend said while Frida facepalmed as she sighs heavily.

"W-Wait, are you talking about that Rat King monster that you told us about a week ago?" Pleakley asked with a terrified expression on his face as he trembled in fear while Jumba looks interested by Hilda's proposition for adventure as he stood up from his chair and walked over to the group.

"Yep, David has been having the same recurring nightmare about the Rat King for the past week or so, and it may have been my fault, so I want to make it up to him by having Davis overcome his fear by finding the Rat King and talking with him." Hilda says with a smile while placing her hands on her hips as a nervous David turned to her.

"H-Hilda, I'm not sure that would be a good idea. What if it attacks us? You yourself said that it eats flesh and bones!" David says as Hilda waves off his concerns with a reassuring smile.

"Oh, don't worry, David, if the Rat King attacks us, Stitch will protect us by fighting it off. So either way, you will see that the Rat King is either friendly or weak as heck, and stop being scared of it. It's a win-win."

"Blue-Haired Little Girl makes a point. The only way to overcome fear is to confront it. Besides, Jumba is curious to see this fabelled Rat King." Jumba added in as Hilda gave him a grateful look for helping her out before placing her hand on David's shoulder to give him a comforting look.

"Yeah, and don't worry, David, everything will turn out okay. I promise you and all of us will have your back."

"Err, actually I haven't finished cleaning yet, so I'm just going to stay here in the safety of the ship and-," A scared Pleakley says while taking a couple of steps back as an annoyed Stitch runs over to snarl at him to stay put and Pleakley yelps in fear as he ran over to hide behind Jumba. "On second thought, I would come along to help support you, David," Pleakley says with a nervous laugh as everyone rolled their eyes amusedly at the one-eyed alien's antics.

"Well, while I agree that we should help David conquer his fear by facing the Rat King, I don't think we should rely on Stitch alone to help us out. We should bring some weapons with us." Frida says while placing her hand on her hips seriously as Stich smirked at her and chuckled.

"Lev okito llu (Way ahead of you)," Stitch says while running over to place his hand on the wall as it glows and opened up as it shows an assortment of plasma-based weapons before them.

"Oh, yeah, these would do," Frida says with a grin as everyone, sans Stitch, runs over to grab a weapon of their own.

"Alright, Jumba was able to use his Super Computer to track down the Rat King's whereabouts and have concluded that they usually travel in and out of this storm drain," Jumba informed the group as a few hours have passed and we see everyone standing near the Trollberg Port as they have arrived at one of its Storm Drain Tunnels to search for the elusive Rat King with Hilda holding onto a small Plasma Gun as Jumba and Frida were holding onto some Plasma Riffles, and Pleakley and David were holding onto a couple of Plasma Sabers.

"Nice, thanks for helping us track down the Rat King, Jumba," Hilda says to the large evil alien gratefully as he smiled and nodded. "Now, let's go and-," Hilda says before noticing a nervous David standing off to the anxiously as she turned to him worriedly. "Uh, David, you okay?"

"I-I don't know, Hilda, maybe this won't be a good idea after all. Let's just go back home. I'm sure that I can live with having nightmares forever." David says with a frightful laugh as he was about to turn around to leave but was stopped by Hilda as she placed a reassuring hand on David's shoulder.

"Don't worry, David, once you've seen enough scary things, you don't get scared anymore. That's one of the perks of being an adventurer. Trust me, I would know."

"Yeah, and besides, we got your back, David, in case anything that happens," Frida says while charging up her rifle as a smirking Jumba did the same, and they shared a fist bump as David smiles softly and nods, not feeling as scared as before as the group walks into the Storm Drain Tunnels.

"Alright, everyone follows me," Pleakley says while raising his alien communicator that had the map to the Trollberg Storm Drain Tunnel as he was wearing his Galactic Federation Uniform.

"Are you sure you know where you're going, One-Eyed Noodle?" Jumba asked grumpily as he wore his Bounty Hunter Uniform from the first chapter.

"Sure, I'm sure. Frida was able to help me download the map to the Trollberg Storm Drain Tunnels Network. Thanks for that, Frida." Pleakley says to Frida, who smirked as she flipped her hair smugly.

"Much oblige," Frida says while holding out a flashlight with Hilda and David doing the same as they were helping the group by providing some light, except for Stitch due to him having night vision as he was crawling along on the ceiling.

"This is just like my nightmare...well, except that you two are, and we're carrying around lethal alien weapons." A whimpering David says as Hilda turned to smile at him.

"Less scary in real life, isn't it?"

"Well..." David trails off as Stitch suddenly perks up and sits up straight on the ceiling as his enhanced senses picked up the sounds of large amounts of running water splashing near them.

"Chobata, forkolng guvtak! (Guys, something, coming!)," Stitch warns as everyone went in alert.

"What?! What is coming!?" A scared David asked as Pleakley checked his alien phone, and his eye widened in shock as he realized what was happening.

"Stormwater coming in any second! What do we do?!" Pleakley panics as an idea popped into Hilda's head and points up at Stitch.

"Quick! Grab onto Stitch!" Hilda yells as everyone nodded, and Stitch grew out his alien appendages as he held out his hands and Hilda, Frida, and David was quick to grab onto two of his arms while Jumba and Pleakley grabbed on to his other two arms as Stitch grunted and easily lifted them up from the floor just as large amounts of stormwater appeared as it flew past them, narrowly hitting their feet as everyone panted slightly. "Man, that was close."

"Ichu (Yeah)," Stitch says while trembling in some fear as he sweated nervously from almost getting caught in the stormwater.

"See? There was something to be frightened about!" David pointed out with an irritated glare as Hilda turned to him with a nod.

"Yes, but it wasn't rats. So, in a way, we're both right." Hilda says with a cheerful smile as David stared at her deadpannedly.

"Jumba thinks we should have this conversation when we get out of this Storm Drain before more water appears. 626, take us out of here." Jumba ordered as Stitch nodded and began crawling through the ceiling of the storm drain tunnel while holding onto the group with ease as they all eventually reached into the center of the Trollberg Storm Drain Sewer System just as all of the rainwater was drained away as the cute fluffy alien grunted and tossed his friend out of the tunnel as Hilda and the others landed on the ground, which was covered with some leftover rainwater as Stitch backflip over to them and landed on the ground safely in a crouch.

"Show off," Hilda says to Stitch playfully as he smirked at her and hid away his extra pair of arms as David was about to speak up...only for his eyes to widen in deep fear and begin trembling as he pointed ahead.

"R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A..."

"What is it, David?" A concerned Hilda asked.

"Yeah, spit it out, boy," Frida says while slapping his back to snap him back into reality as David gave her a brief thankful look before pointing ahead as he screamed.

"RAT KING!" David shouted as everyone gasped and turned around as they saw the famous Rat King staring at them creepily from the shadows in a random storm drain tunnels and begins rolling over to them with the group reacting quickly as Frida and Jumba aimed their Plasma Riffles at them while Hilda's body grew tense and Stitch stood up from the floor and unleashed his claws with a glare as a frightened Pleakley and David hid behind their friends.

"Ah, well, well, well, well, well, well, look what we have here...visitors!" The Rat King said in unison with thousands of voices talking at the same time as they rolled over to the group and stood in front of them as the Rat King then expand in size and loomed over to stare down at Hilda, Stitch, and the others curiously as their red glowing eyes stared down at them. "Have you secrets to trade with the Rat King?"

"Wait, secrets? You're not going to try and eat us or something?" A wary Hilda asked as Stitch stood in front of her protectively and growled at the Rat King.

"Oh, no, we only eat people if they refuse to share their secrets with us. We are the keeps of all secrets rats overhear from Humans or other Magical Creatures, and we always wanna hear more. Have you secrets to trade?"

"I suppose the polite thing to do would be to tell him-,"

"Them! We like to be called them, thank you very much." The Rat King says with a glare as Hilda flinched and gave them an apologetic look.

"Oh, sorry," Hilda says before leaning over to whisper to the group. "Anyway, I suppose the polite thing to do would be to tell them a secret. After all, we are guests in their home. Don't worry, though. I got a good one." Hilda says while winking at her friends as she then turned back to the tangled mess of rats. "Well, Rat King, I have a pretty juicy secret to tell. You see, my friends Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley here are really extraterrestrial beings from another world. In other words, they are aliens." Hilda stated with a smug smile as the group nodded, and Stitch grew out his alien appendages to show them off to the Rat King, who looks unimpressed by their 'secret' as they scoffed and rolled their eyes.

"That's not really a secret. Everyone in the magical community knows that those three are aliens." Rat King says as the group's eyes widened in surprise.

"What? Really? How?" Hilda asked as the Rat King gave her a flat look.

"Your friend Stitch here fell from the sky on a big spaceship and crash landed in the woods. It's kind of hard to miss that. Besides, your human and dog disguises are terrible."

"Errr, he makes a good point," Frida says as David nods.

"Worked on you kids, didn't it?" Pleakley says sassily as the kids flinched before lowering their heads in embarrassment as they nodded.

"Yeah, true."

"Hey, speaking off, 626, whatever did happen to that Space Cruiser that you stole?" A curious Jumba asked.

"Oh, Stitch's ship was destroyed upon the impact of Stitch's crash landing. The destroyed remains are still in the woods somewhere." Stitch says with a shrug as Hilda perked up.

"Oh, really? Hey, you know, after this, we should go and see where you crash landed so we can salvage it for parts. I'm sure that your smart enough to rebuild that Space Cruiser or whatever, and we could totally use it to fly around and have some fun!" An eager Hilda says as Stitch's eyes widened in delight and grinned as he clapped his hands excitedly.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!"

"Didn't your Mum say that you couldn't ride a Spaceship, Missy?" A stern Pleakley says as Hilda turned to smile at him slyly.

"Yes, she said that I couldn't ride in your and Jumba's Spaceship. Mum didn't say anything about Stitch's Spaceship." Hilda says while sharing a high five with Stitch as Jumba beamed and laughed.

"Ha, ha! Jumba knew that there was some evil within you, Blue Haired Girl. Jumba has never been prouder of you." Jumba says while patting Hilda's head as she giggled, and Pleakley couldn't help but groan as he facepalmed.

"While this is entertaining, if you all don't have secrets to tell us, we will eat your flesh and bones." Rat King says as Hilda and the others, sans David and Pleakley, turned to him with blank looks on their faces as they raised their weapons at him and charged it up as Stitch grunted and threw down a punch at the ground, cracking it seriously as Rat King sweated nervously at this and gulps. "We've accessed the situation and realized that we're way over our heads and crapped ourselves in fear. Alright, look, if you all can give us some juicy secrets, we will reveal one of our own that should help your friend here with his nightmare problem.

"Really?" A hopeful Hilda asked as the Rat King nodded, and the group glanced at each other as they shared a nod and turned back to the Rat King as Hilda stepped forward. "Alright, Rat King, you have a deal. I have a juicy secret to tell you. A good one."

"Oh, really? Do tell." An intrigued Rat King says as Hilda nods and walked over to whisper her secret to the Rat King, whose eyes widened in shock and let out an audible gasp as they turned to stare down at Hilda with a stunned gaze. "Ooh, whoa, really? You? Huh, we would've never guessed. Well, a trade is a trade, you tell us a juicy secret, and we will tell one for you." Rat King says while leaning over to grin at Hilda and the others. "Your friend's nightmares aren't natural. Someone is purposely giving him nightmares."

"Wait, what?! Really!?" A shocked David asked as the Rat King nodded with a smirk.

"Yes, and we know who's responsible for your nightmares."

"Really!? Who?!" Hilda asks anxiously as the Rat King shakes their head.

"Uh, uh, if you want me to tell you more, you have to give me more juicy secrets if you want me to spill." Rat King says as the group gave them annoyed looks and sighed as Hilda was about to tell him more of her secrets but was stopped by the Rat King. "And it has to be someone different." Rat King stated firmly as the group glanced at each other nervously, not wanting to reveal their secrets to the Rat King as Stitch sees this and sighs heavily as he steps forward.

"Ugh, ookitaka. Guykuo tek lui koko ti. (Ugh, fine. Let's get this over with)," Stitch grumbles while walking over to the Rat King as he whispers a secret to him.

"Ha, ha, what?! Seriously?! My, what a juicy surprising secret!" The Rat King says with a laugh as Stitch blushes in embarrassment and walks back over to the group with a growl as Hilda and the others patted his back while thanking him for his sacrifice. "Anyway, the one responsible for your friend's nightmares is no other than that mysterious girl that recently moved in from America."

"Aha! See?! I told you guys that there was something weird about that girl!" A grinning Hilda says to Frida and David as Jumba and Pleakley look confused by what she said as Stitch gave them a, 'I will explain everything later' look.

"Alright, alright, I guess that your Hilda Tingle was right."

"I told you to stop calling it that!" Hilda hissed to Frida with an embarrassed blush on her face as her friend raises her hands and laughs. "Anyway, can you tell us more about her?" Hilda asked the Rat King, after calming down, as they nodded.

"Well, that mysterious girl's name is Angelica, and she's really a Marra, an evil spirit that gives people's nightmares, and she's planning to scare your friend here again. Tonight at 11:00pm. Oh! Oh, we're so bad! No pudding for us!" The Rat King says with a laugh while rolling up into a ball as they then zoomed down a Storm Drain and disappeared from sight as Hilda giggled.

"He, he, they're fun." Hilda says while placing her hands on her hips as her friends gave her odd looks. "Anyway, huddle up, everyone. Thanks to the Rat King, we know what we're up against, so let's come up with a plan to confront her and stop her from giving David nightmares." Hilda says as her friends nodded and huddled up to begin whispering their plan to deal with Angelica the Marra.

---

"Pleakley, are you in position? Over." Hilda says into her walkie-talkie as we fast forward in time and see Hilda and Stitch standing on top of a building while using their night vision binoculars/microscopic and night vision powers to spy on David while he was sleeping in his room on his apartment.

"Yeah, I'm here, over," A nervous Pleakley said into his walkie-talkie while residing inside of David's room as he was able to sneak in through the window of his room and was hiding under David's desk as he wore a blonde wig in the shape of a bob cut, blue eyeshadow, dark red lipstick, had a mole on his cheek, a black cap, a long-sleeved black turtleneck shirt, and black pants as Pleakley also wore black flats and had his Plasma Saber in his hands.

"Good, over," Hilda says with a satisfied nod as she wore a black beanie with black face paint on her cheeks, a long-sleeved black turtleneck shirt, a gray scarf, a black skirt, gray tights, and black shoes as she had her Plasma Gun strapped to her skirt.

"Frida, Jumba, youga in position?" Stitch asked into Hilda's walkie-talkie as he wore a black cap, black face paint on his cheeks, a long-sleeved black shirt, a black belt, long black pants, and was also, of course, wearing his red collar that was hidden under his shirt.

"Yeah, we are," Jumba says into his walkie-talkie as he wore a big black wig in the shape of an afro, two pairs of black sunglasses to cover his eyes, a long-sleeved turtleneck gray shirt, a black utility belt, and black pants as he had his Plasma Rifle in his hand.

"But, Hilda, Stitch, how could this girl be causing David's nightmares? Over." Frida says as she wore a long-sleeved black shirt with black pants and black shoes as she had her Plasma Rifle in her hands.

"I don't know. The Rat King mentioned something about her being a Marra, but I've never heard of a Magical Creature like that. I would've asked Mr. Trenton about it, but he and my Mum are out of town due to Mum's work. Over,"

"Really? And you are okay with that? Over," Frida asked through the walkie-talkie.

"Yeah, why? Over," Hilda asked obviously with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, I don't know, two adults are out of town, spending time together, probably sleeping in the same hotel, etc. I don't know. Maybe Mr. Trenton is putting the moves on your Mum. Over." Frida says teasingly as Hilda blushes in anger and fumes.

"No, he's not! Mr. Trenton and my Mum are just friends! Nothing more! Over!" Hilda yelled firmly while shutting off her walkie-talkie with a huff as Stitch slowly turned to her with a knowing look as she glared at him. "Oh, rack off," Hilda mumbles as Stitch chuckled and, unknown to them, green, spiritual mist filtered into David's room through the keylock of his room as the green mist slowly transformed into Angelica the Marra, and the evil nightmare spirit giggles evilly as she floated over to the sleeping David.

"He, he, he, let's see what scares you will suffer tonight...oh, I got it!" Angelica says with a sinister grin as she ran over to glare down at a resting David with her eyes glowing green as the brown-haired boy groaned in his sleep and sweated nervously as he started suffering through a nightmare.

"Huh? What?" A confused Pleakley says, who got a bit distracted from his mission due to studying David's textbook to gain more Earth Knowledge as he looks up and gasped in shock as he saw Mara floating above David's bed with a green magical aura covering her body. "Witch! Witch!" Pleakley screamed while running out of his hiding spot as his scream alerted Angelica of his presence and yelped as Pleakley started swinging his Plasma Saber around wildly and nearly strikes her as the Marra was forced to make a hasty retreat and transformed her body into green mist as Angelica teleported away.

"Aaaah! What's going on?!" A panicking David scream while waking up from his nightmare as he sat up and panted heavily as Pleakley ignored him and pulled out his walkie-talkie as he turned it on.

"Hilda! That strange teenage girl was spotted floating here in David's room, but she teleported away! Over!" Pleakley's voice rang out from Hilda's walkie-talkie as she was quick to answer his call.

"Got it! Frida, Jumba, Pleakley spotted Angelica in David's room, but she escaped! Do any of you see her?!"

"Hmmm, no, Blue-Haired Girl. We don't see Mysterious Marra Girl anywhere." Jumba says into his walkie-talkie as he and Frida scan the area for any sign of the Marra before a flash of green light appeared near them as they turned their heads and gasped as Jumba and Frida saw an annoyed Angelica teleporting herself into the alleyway that the duo was hiding in as she dusting off her outfit.

"Scratch that! She's here!" Frida yelled while snatching the walkie-talkie from out of Jumba's hands as Angelica heard the little girl's scream and turned her head as she spotted Jumba and Frida near her as the Marra was quick to run away and was able to dodge Jumba's stun nonlethal plasma blasts as Angelica ducked into another alleyway. "Quick, get down here! She's getting away! We will follow after her!"

"Got it, we will catch up with you and cut her off! David! Pleakley! Get into position!" Hilda ordered before turning off her walkie-talkie as she turned to Stitch, and they shared a serious nod as 626 lowered himself on the ground, and the blue-haired girl was quick to mount him like a horse as Stitch grunted and leaped down from the building as he used his speed and agility to make his way down to the ground safely as Hilda held on for dear life with a determined look on her face.

"Come on! This way!" Jumba yells as he and his young friend run down into the alleyway and make their way into the area from where they saw Angelica run in earlier as Jumba and Frida reached a dead end and gasped in surprise as the duo saw that the Marra was nowhere in sight!

"What happened? Where did she go?" A confused Hilda asked while appearing behind the wall with Stitch as he climbs them down to the ground.

"I don't know, she was here just a second ago, I swear." Frida says as Jumba nods in agreement.

"Black Haired Litte Girl is right. We were chasing Mysterious Marra Girl through the alleyway and saw her run here. There's no way that she would've been able to escape." Jumba says as Stitch narrowed his eyes and turned on his X-Ray Vision as he looked around and saw through the big wall to see Angelica walking away casually from the other end of the wall as Stitch growled and begins running over to the wall.

"Wah! Stitch, wait! Aah!" Hilda screams while holding onto Stitch tightly as he rammed through the wall, creating a large hole in it with his thick head as Hilda groaned before gasping as she spotted Angelia turning a corner. "Oh! Good find, Stitch! Let's go, team!" Hilda screams encouragingly as the group nodded and Jumba bends down to pick up Frida as he placed her on his shoulder, and the group ran after Angelica as they chased her to a locked gate placed at the end alleyway. "There's nowhere to run! Now, stay still so that we can ask you some questions!" Hilda demanded as the Marra turned to the gang and smiles sinisterly as she transforms into a green mist and phased through the keyhole as Hilda, Stitch, Jumba, and Frida gasped at this in shock. "Whoa! She disappeared!"

"Where did she go?" Frida asked anxiously.

"Guys, we spotted her! She's heading way down at the end of Nutten Avenue, turning left! Over!" Pleakley informed the group through Hilda's walkie-talkie before they heard a frightened scream as they grew worried. "Oh, guys, it's alright. David just remembered that he's afraid of heights. Over." Pleakley says as the group deadpan at David's actions before returning to the task at hand as Frida glances down at her friends.

"Guys, we need to go after her before she escapes! Let me find my bike real quick and-,"

"No, it will take too long, Little Black Haired Girl. Take Stitch. He's faster." Jumba says while reaching up to grab Frida and placing her down on Stitch, right behind Hilda, as the blue-haired girl nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, true, Stitch is way faster than any bike," Hilda says matter-of-factly with Stitch nodding as Jumba then gave them a serious look.

"Go on without me. Jumba will only slow you down." Jumba says as the blue-haired girl nods.

"Got it. I suggest that you hold on tightly, Frida. This is going to be a bumpy ride." Hilda says as a nervous Frida nodded and wrapped her arms around Hilda's waist as Stitch growled and run forward at full speed as he rammed through the gate, breaking it as they ran off...before returning shortly after so that Hilda can leave behind some money to pay for the damages left behind by them to the house owner as the trio then ran off for real, and the gang began chasing after Angelica the Marra as Stitch ran at the speed of a car and was leaping in between cars and buildings to catch up with the teleporting spirit as Hilda seems to be enjoying the ride while Frida, however, wasn't having much fun as she screamed in fear. "I can't see her! Where did she go?!" An annoyed Hilda asked as Frida looked around and shrugged as Stitch tried to use his enhanced eyesight to search for Angelica the Marra to no avail, but then his nose twitch as he sniffed the air and grinned as 626 chuckled.

"Tkugio eyer! Tuk eyer opoio! (Found her! Got her scent!)," Stitch informed the girls as Hilda beams and turns to a confused Frida.

"Stitch says that he got Angelica's scent! Go find her, boy!" Hilda yells as Stitch nodded and started increasing his speed to go faster than a car as the trio zooms down the streets of Trollberg and, after a few minutes of running through the city with speeds faster than a car, the group was able to finally track down the location from where the Marra had teleported into as they arrived at the Trollberg Huldrawoods and saw Angelica standing by the gates as she transforms into spectral green energy and phased through the locks as the Marra disappeared from sight once more.

"Okay, doesn't that freak you out a bit?" A nervous, creeped out Frida asked her blue-haired friend as Hilda shrugged.

"Eh, I've seen weirder stuff. Anyway, lets go after her, Stitch, but please don't break down the gates. I don't think I've enough money from my piggy bank to pay for the damages this time."

"Ugh, okitaka. Luvkiki. (Ugh, fine. Buzzkill)," Stitch grumbles while running over to scale up the gates with the girls hanging on to him tightly as he had appeared at the top of the gates and reaches out to grab Hilda and Frida as Stitch made sure to have a good grip on them before leaping off from the gates as 626 crashed landed onto the floor with a small grunt as he then lowered the girls on the ground, and the trio ran off. After running for a few minutes through the deep, dark, scary woods, Hilda, Frida, and Stitch were finally able to find Angelica the Marra as they saw her sitting in a small meadow, next to a green campfire as she was talking with a group of other Marras.

"...and as David's head fell off his body and tumbled screaming down the rocks, he realized that his head was bouncing directly into the mouth of a Kraken!" Angelica says while letting out an evil laugh as her friends, however, looked bored by her story and yawned as they threw back their heads. "What? What's wrong?"

"Come on, Angelica, the old ripped out head falling down a monster's head trick? That is so old school." A Glasses-Wearing Marra says as a brown-skinned Marra nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, is that really the best you can do with that David kid?" The Brown-Skinned Marra says as Angelica merely pouted and crossed her arms with a huff as she looked away.

"It's not my fault that I couldn't come up with anything more original or creative. I didn't have time because some ugly woman showed up in that kid's room and tried to hit me. The kid must've found out that I was causing his nightmares and had his Mom or whatever hiding around to protect him, but I promise you that I'm going out there right now to give that David kid a way better nightmare. I'm not scared of his stupid Mom." Angelica says while raising her nose into the air snubbingly as her fellow Marras smiled wickedly and clapped their hands in devilish delight as the trio glared at the group of evil Marras hatefully, not liking that they were taking a sadistic joy in scaring little kids as an idea popped into Hilda's head and grinned slyly as she turned over to whisper her plan into Frida and Stitch's ears. "Alright, let me just go and-,"

"Hey!" Hilda yelled, gaining the Marras' attention as they turned around, and their eyes glowed green as they saw Hilda and Frida stepping out of their hiding spot as Angelica floated over to confront her.

"You two...you little girls, made a big mistake coming all the way out here in the woods...at night...miles away from anybody being able to hear you two scream," Angelica says while tilting her head and moving her body around unnaturally as her bones creaked, and the other Marras started slowly floating upwards from their campsite as they glared ominously at the girls, who gulped in slight fear as, being the confident one, Hilda steps in front of Frida protectively and glared up at her.

"We didn't come here for a fight, but we will if you don't leave David alone and stop giving him nightmares." Hilda threatens as Angelica and her fellow Marras blinked in disbelief/shock...before snorting as they all laughed.

"Ha, ha, are you serious?! What can you two weak little girls do against us?" Angelica asked with a giggle as Hilda narrowed her eyes at her and step forwards while discreetly taking out her gun as a sneaky Frida did the same.

"Well, for one thing, Frida and I aren't just your average weak little girls. And for another...we have a Stitch."

"RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Stitch roared loudly while dropping down from a nearby tall tree as he crashed landed into the Marras' Campsite, right into the fire as Stitch stoically stood up from the ground with his body covered in green flames as he grew out his alien appendages and his clothes and face paint was burned away as Stitch roared like a beast, scaring the crap out of them as they scream in fear and a few of the Marras reflexively teleported away as the remaining Marras, including Angelica, stared at what seems to be the flaming demon in stunned horror and shock.

Letting out another roar, Stitch jumped out of the flames as he landed on the ground and jumps up as 626 was able to slash a Marra's cheek, cutting it up and dousing the Marra with green flame as she screamed in pain before teleporting away as a glaring Stitch slowly turned over to two other Marras, who flinched in fear as he growled and lifts up his arms as the big-eared alien experiment slammed his fists on the ground and grabbed it as Stitch then lifted up the ground and flapped it as he sends a small shockwave that collided against the Marras and sending them flying away as they grunted in pain before teleporting away as Stitch panted in rage and turned over to snarl at Angelica, who flinched in fear as Stitch roared and charges at her like a raging bull made out green hell flames as Angelica was able to recover from her shock and glared at Experiment 626 as she was about to try and fight her, only to help in pain as Hilda and Frida blasted her in the back with small non-lethal plasma blasts.

"Yeah, you like that!?" Hilda asked with a glare as Angelica gritted her teeth in pain and crouches down on the ground as she panted and glared at the little kids before gasping as Angelica saw Stitch leaping up from the ground and reared back his fists as he fell down like a meteor and the Marra yelped in fright as she instinctively transformed into a burst of spectral green energy and Stitch crashed landed on the spot where Angelica used to be as a small crater formed around him. "Don't you bother messing with David again, or else I will have Stitch beat your spiritual butt!" Hilda screamed while firing continuously at the spectral green energy until it dissipates as Hilda panted heavily, and her black-haired friend gave her a shocked, concerned look as the young Adventurer gave her a raised eyebrow. "What?"

"O-Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I've never seen you so aggressive before." Frida says as Hilda blinks and blushes in embarrassment as she turns off her gun and hides it away as Frida did the same.

"O-Oh, sorry. I-I just don't like it when people mess with my friends." Hilda says with an anxious laugh as Frida tilted her head but smiled anyway as she giggled and nodded as Hilda was about to speak up, but then the girls winced as they saw a calmed down Stitch reared back his head and spits out a giant ball of fire-extinguishing spit that splashed against his body, covering Stitch with his own spit as it extinguishes the green flames.

"Ugh, Stitch, gross!" Hilda and Frida yelled in exasperation with their faces growing green as they stick out their tongues, and Stitch rolled his eyes at the girls' antics as he then mischievously drops down on all fours as 626 started shaking off the spit off his body like a dog.

"Ewww, Stitch, come on!" Hilda and Frida screeched while moving away to avoid the incoming alien spit as a grinning Stitch ran over to them, causing the girls to shriek as they turned to run away, and a laughing Experiment 626 chases after them. Tomorrow morning, after the girls took a long bath in their respective houses to get wash out the gross alien spit from their bodies and Hilda forces Stitch to take a bath to punish him, we see the gang walking through the Trollberg Library as Hilda, Frida, and Stitch were informing to the others on what happened in Trollberg Huldrawoods as Jumba was intrigued by what they said, Pleakley was, of course, nervous, and David was horrified and embarrassed.

"She told my nightmares to her friends? That's not fair. I deserve a royalty or something. Don't you think?"

"Oh, most definitely," Pleakley says while patting David's back to comfort him as he was wearing a big curly blonde wig with a big sun hat, pearl earrings, red eyeshadow, red lipstick, a pearl necklace, a sleeveless long floral blue dress, and blue high heel shoes.

"So there's not only one Marra in the city, but several, and they all seem to possess ghostly abilities like glowing eyes, the ability to transform into ghostly green mist and the power to induce nightmares? Interesting, they sound a bit like a combination of Experiment 276 and Experiment 375." A thoughtful Jumba says while placing his hand on his chin as he wore a small black wig with a black fedora, a pair of four sunglasses to cover his eyes, a fake black mustache, a long-sleeved black turtleneck sweater, and blue jeans.

"The whata?" A confused Stitch asked while wearing an Earth Disguise due to animals not being allowed in the Trollberg Library as he wore a red baseball cap with his large ears hidden inside of it, a pair of black sunglasses, a long-sleeved red shirt, a red bandana that covers his mouth, a brown belt, blue jeans, and black shoes as he was walking on his two legs.

"Uh, I mean, Little Brown Haired Boy, did you receive any more nightmares tonight?" Jumba asked while sweating nervously as David nodded.

"Oh, not really. I was able to have a peaceful night of sleep thanks to you guys." David says with a soft smile as his friends smiled at him and nod.

"You're welcome, David, but even after what happened yesterday, I have a very strong feeling that Angelica will come back to give you more nightmares, so we need to find out everything to know about Marras," Hilda says as the others nodded and the group were about to separate and search across the library but then-

"Excuse me, deary, I heard that you were all looking for a specific book, right?" An elderly voice rang out as the gang turned their heads and saw a 69-year-old white-haired woman standing in front of them as she gave them a warm smile.

"Oh, yeah, we do. Do you work here?" Frida asked curiously as the old woman nodded.

"Yes, I do."

"Oh, great, you see, we're trying to find a book about these magical creatures named 'Marras'. Do you have any for us to read?" Hilda asked.

"Yep, we do. Be right back." The old woman says while clapping her hands together in front of her lap as she walks off and, after a few seconds of waiting, a 33-year-old short curly brown-haired man with a big bushy brown mustache appeared with a book in his hands as he presented to the group. "Well, here you go. This book is the autobiography of Martha Lonwick. Hope you enjoy." The man says with a smirk as Hilda and the others stared at him confusedly.

"Wait, what? Where's the old woman?" David asked as the man shrugged.

"Eh, she's old and feels tired, so she's on break. Anyway, here's your book." The man says while handing the book to Hilda, who shakes her head as she handed him the book back.

"No, no, sir, we're trying to find the book about Marras."

"Ah, noted, be back." The man says while walking off as a busty 25-year-old woman returned shortly after and had a book in her hands as she held the book out to the group. "Alright, how about this children's book of Maya and Miguel that I found in the Spanish Child Section?"

"What, wait, how-,"

"Or how about this book Marcovia?" The woman asked while suddenly whirling around as she morphed to resemble Hilda and held out another book as everyone gasped at this in shock, especially the real Hilda as they stared at her in stunned shock.

"What the?! How did you-"

"But if that doesn't satisfy you, how about this book of Malaria and Mosquitos?" The Fake Hilda says, perfectly imitating the blue-haired girl's voice as she then whirled around and morphed into Frida as she winks at the shocked group while holding another book.

"Why does that gives me PTSD Flashbacks?" Pleakley whispers to himself confusedly as he was still shocked by the shape-shifting being.

"Or why not a book about Mariachi Bands?" Fake Frida says while whirling as she transformed into David and smirked as he held out another large book. "Oh! What about-,"

"Son, that's enough. You're scaring everybody." A stern voice says as everyone, especially Fake David, flinched in surprise at the new voice, and the gang looked up as they saw a grown man and a woman hovering above the group as they were standing on dual large white library ladders.

The man is a 6'3-feet-tall, 38-year-old, British/Swedish Warlock/Mutant Human with blue eyes, long curly black hair that reaches down his shoulders as it has a brown steak, pointy ears, a big nose, a sharp chin, light skin, a tall muscular slim built, and his outfit consisted of a hooded long-sleeved black sweater, a brown belt, dark blue jeans, and brown shoes. His name is Logan Crane, the general/peacekeeper of Trollberg.

The woman is a 6-feet-tall, 35-year-old Witch Human with purple eyes, shoulder-length black hair with purple tips as she also has small bangs that cover her eyes slightly, pointy ears, a small pointy nose, a sharp chin, milky-white skin, a slim hourglass figure, and her outfit consisted of a black cloak that was strapped across her shoulders, a grey sweater vest with a white blouse underneath, a black skirt, grey leggings, and black high heeled shoes as she also carried around a pair of black/grey headphones attached to a sort of portable media player. Her name is Kaisa, the Trollberg Librarian, and Logan's girlfriend.

"Ugh, fine." Fake David says while whirling around to transform back into his regular form as he grinned at Hilda, Stitch, and the others. The shape-shifter is really a 4'2-feet-tall, 11-year-old Changeling boy with light brown eyes, shoulder-length curly dark brown hair, pointy ears, a small nose, a sharp chin, light tan skin, a slim built, and his outfit consisted of a large floppy black beanie, a big long-sleeved gray sweater, black belt with a silver belt buckle, black jeans, and white jeans. His name is Marcus Crane, Logan's adopted son.

"Good boy. Also, I believe that this is the book that you were looking for." Kaisa says with a sly grin while slowly pulling out a book about Marras from out of her cloak as she tossed it down at Hilda, who caught it reflexively as Kaisa then turned to smile at her boyfriend. "See you in a bit, Loggy. Got to work." Kaisa says as Logan nods, and both of them share a quick kiss before the Witch whisked herself away with the help of her library ladder.

"Meega confused," Stitch says while scratching his head as Logan looks down at him and the others as he narrowed his eyes at Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley's appearances as he then shrugged and rolled his eyes as Logan climbed down the ladder.

"Hey, so, sorry about my son messing with you. He likes to prank our customers with his abilities." Logan says while placing his hands on his pockets as the group stared at him oddly.

"What kind of abilities?" Frida asks curiously.

"The fun kind," Marcus says while shape-shifting to resemble his father, voice and clothes and all, as he placed his arms around the kids' shoulders casually. "I'm a Changeling. A race of supernatural beings that can shape-shift into any humans or magical creatures we want."

"Whoa, really? That sounds cool!" Hilda exclaimed, no longer freaking out about Marcus's abilities as both she and Stitch looked amazed by them, Jumba was curious, and Pleakley, Frida, and David were wary of Marcus's powers.

"Yeah, they are, except that I haven't learned how to shape-shift into anything but humans yet, unfortunately. Which is why I couldn't transform into these three aliens here." Marcus says casually while gesturing at Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley, as the group looked shocked by what he said.

"W-What?! How did you know!?" Hilda asked nervously as the Crane Men gave her and the others flat looks.

"Well, first off, your friends' disguises are horrible. Second, everyone in the magical community knows about your alien friends here ever since this little guy crash landed in the forest a couple of months ago." Logan says while pointing down at Stitch.

"So we've been told," Hilda grumbles before blinking as she stared up at Logan confusedly. "Wait, you're part of the magical community as well?"

"Yep, so don't worry about your friends' little secrets here. Their secrets are safe with me just as I know you won't tell anyone about my connection with magic or that son is my Changeling, right?" Logan asked playfully/worriedly as Hilda sighs in relief and nodded firmly.

"Sure, we won't reveal to everyone your secrets. Right, guys?" Hilda asked as everyone mumbled in agreement, and Logan smirks as he nodded in satisfaction.

"Cool, anyway, I couldn't help but notice that you're researching about Marras here," Logan says with Marcus imitating his father in the background as Hilda and the others giggled/laughed at this, and Logan figured out what his adopted son was doing as he turned to glare at him, and Marcus flinched as he morphed back into his normal form with a sheepish smile.

"He, he, yeah, we sort of got in trouble with a certain Marra that is bothering one of our friends, and we want to know more about them just in case they come back," Hilda explains as Logan turned back to her and nods in agreement.

"Got it, come on, let's go to a more private place to talk about it," Logan says as he and Marcus walked off as the rest follow after him.

"...and after, we were able to scare off the Marras, but we believe that they might come back to haunt David again, so that's why we came here to find more information about the Marras," Hilda says while finishing explaining about the Marra situation to Logan and Marcus as we fast forward in time and see the gang sitting near a long table that was placed in the secluded area of the library as Hilda, Stitch, Frida, and David sat on one side of the table as Jumba, Pleakley, Logan, and Marcus sat on the other side.

"Hmmn, interesting, well, you came to the right place for information on Marras," Logan says while opening up the book about Marras as he flipped through the pages. "Anyway, to give you a brief explanation of these magical creatures, Marras is a race of evil female human-like creatures that reside deep inside the Trollberg Huldrawoods. They usually haunt the streets and houses of Trollberg at night, looking for timid weak-willed people to scare and give them nightmares out of their worst fears."

"So, not only am I having nightmares, but I'm being haunted by an evil Nightmare Spirit, who has been sneaking into my house every day for the past week and keeps giving me horrible nightmares that keeps me up at night? Ugh, I think I like it better when you two didn't help me." David says while placing his arms on the table as he laid his head on it and gave Hilda and Stitch a weak glare as the blue-haired girl smiled at him sheepishly, and the young experiment shrugged awkwardly as Marcus smirked at this amusedly and laid against his chair cooly.

"Anyway, the exact nature of the Marras is not quite clear as there is contradictory information about them. Like in this book, it says that Marras are these Nightmare Spirits that were born in the Huldrawoods and feast on the souls of the humans that they scare." Marcus says while whirling as he shape-shifts into Angelica the Marra but with gray skin, glowing green eyes, and fangs. "But, from what my Dad and I've seen for the last couple of years when the Marras aren't terrorizing the streets of Trollberg or using their powers, they look and act like human teenage girls during the day," Marcus says while morphing into Angelica's normal form as his father nodded.

"Yeah, so it's hard to tell which teenage girls are Marras and which are Humans, especially since some Marras even live in homes with seemingly normal families, go to school, have friends, fall in love, and such," Logan added in as Jumba narrowed his eyes at this suspiciously and places his hand on his chin thoughtfully as he hummed.

"Hmmm, interesting, judging by what you two said, Jumba thinks that the Marras aren't born with their magic and logically get them from someone else, most likely at their teens."

"We think that too. You're pretty smart." Logan complimented with a nod as Jumba smiled proudly and nodded.

"Thank you, Black-Haired Man."

"So, what ghostly powers do these Marras possess? We got lucky last night because Stitch scared off all of the Marras, but I would like to know everything that the Marras can do before facing them." Frida stated seriously while slamming her fist on the table as Marcus grinned and whirled as he transformed back to normal.

"Well, not much really, all they can do is have their eyes glow, float around, and teleport short distances by turning into green wisps, but other than that, they're pretty weak offensively wise."

"But it doesn't mean that they're weak magical creatures. Remember, they have the ability to give extreme and horrible nightmares to people once they go to sleep." Logan says while giving Marcus a firm look as the young kid rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, I know."

"Waka vluio edeknesis? Od het Marras gyui yna? (What about weakness? Do the Marras have any?)," Stitch asked curiously to Logan and Marcus, who stared at him blankly as they blinked slowly.

"I'm sorry, what?" Logan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Stitch asks if the Marra has any weakness." Hilda translated as Stitch nodded.

"You can understand what he says?" Marcus asked as Hilda nodded with a shrug.

"Yeah, at first, I didn't understand what he says, but after a while, it gets easier to understand his alien language."

"Noted, anyway, yes, the Marras does have a weakness. If a person straps themselves into a bed with a leather belt, the Marra will be unable to use their powers on you." Logan informed the group, who perked up by the new piece of information eagerly as David, however, shakes his head and crossed his arms.

"No can do, I'm deathly afraid of belts."

"What? Are you serious?" Hilda asked with a raised eyebrow as everyone stared at David in disbelief.

"Wow, even I'm not afraid of belts. I mean, what's so scary about them?" Pleakley asked as David turned to glare at him in annoyance.

"Everything! I don't like how it feels when I touch it, and you can choke someone with a belt, you know!"

"Well, then, how do you pull up your pants?" Frida asked as David smirked at her.

"It used to be troubling at first, but thankfully, my Mum was able to find the right store that sells these kinds of trousers that fits me perfectly."

"Huykaka a kdkekek." Stitch insulted as Hilda and Pleakley gasped at what he said in shock/horror while Jumba chuckled a bit.

"No! Stitch! That's a naughty word! We don't say bad words, especially to friends!" Hilda scolded while pulling out a water bottle from out of her pockets as she begins spraying water into Stitch's face, causing him to hiss at her in annoyance like a cat as 626 squirmed away from her.

"What did he say?" David asked.

"Trust me, you don't want to know," Pleakley says while still surprised that Stitch will say that as he turned to glare at Jumba. "I blame you for this."

"What did Jumba do?"

"You're a bad influence!"

"Well, duh, I'm an evil genius!"

"Alright, alright, while this was funny, if that kid won't strap himself onto a bed, then we have the next best solution. Just simply use the belt to trap the Marra. She won't be able to phase out of it since the belt burns her skin like silver does to Werewolves." Marcus says as Plekaley and Jumba cease their arguing while Hilda stopped punishing Stitch as she turned to smile at the duo gratefully.

"Got it. Thanks for all of your help, guys. Now we have enough information to deal with Angelica the Marra." Hilda says while standing up from her chair with the others doing the same as they were about to leave, but stopped as Logan spoke up.

"Wait, what are you going to do with her? Kill her?" Logan asked while not looking bothered if they were planning to do that as Hilda stared at him in shock/horror.

"What? No, I'm merely planning on capturing the Marra so that we can talk to her and settle this once and for all."

"Hmmm, a rather naive approach as, while the Marras isn't as physically as strong as Trolls, they're equally dangerous. They give you your worst fears. Are you sure you all can face her?" Logan asked as Hilda and Stitch smirked smugly as the blue-haired girl places her arm around his shoulders.

"Sure, we can. Me, Stitch, and the gang have gone through worse than this. You don't have to worry about us. Adventures don't get scared. We'll be fine."

"Ih." Stitch says with a sharp nod.

"Yeah, Hilda and Stitch are some of the fearless people we know. If anyone can face a Nightmare Spirit, it's them." Frida says confidently with Jumba, Pleakley, and David nodded in agreement as Logan, however, shakes his head and stood up from the floor as he walked over to the group.

"Hmm, I'm not convinced," Logan says while stopping in front of Hilda and Stitch as he bends down to their eye level and gives them a serious look. "You two might fool everyone else, but you can't fool me. There's something different about you. You two are afraid of something. I can see it and, unless you confront your fears, you two will never be able to beat a Marra. Remember that when you face the Marra, it might save your lives." Logan says while standing up from the floor with his arms crossed as Hilda and Stitch stared up at Logan stoically with hardened looks on their faces as they proceed to turn around and walk away without saying a word as the others soon followed.

"You're going to follow after Hilda, Stitch, and the gang to watch over them and see their progress, huh?" Marcus asked his adopted father knowingly as Logan nodded.

"Yes, cover for me while I'm gone and tell Kaisa that I might come home late. Like, really late." Logan says as black/purple smoke covered his body and he transformed into a small raven as Logan flew out of the Trollberg Library through the open skylight as Marcus shrugged and whirled around to transform into his father as he stood up from the table and began making his way through the Library to continue his father's work for him.

---

Late at night, we cue to David's Apartment as we see his parents having a relaxing night by reading some books/newspaper on the living room couch while snuggled up together lovingly as their son 'David' and his friend 'Hilda' appeared out of David's room as they walked down the hallway silently and reached the front door of the apartment as they opened it and saw a smiling Jumba and Pleakley standing in front of them.

"Hello, little niece. Did you have a fun day playing with David today?" Pleakley asked sweetly with an overdramatic tone as Jumba elbowed him with an annoyed look.

"Yes, Auntie Pleakley. I had a lovely day with David, indeed." Hilda lied just as horribly as Pleakley as the young girl was currently wearing David's clothes, plus an orange/white baseball cap and a brown wig to help cover her blue hair.

"Well, that's good to hear, Little Blue Haired Niece. Now, let's take you home." Jumba says.

"Goodnight, Hilda. See you, Frida, and Stitch tomorrow. I'm going to go to bed early since I'm feeling a bit tired." David says while doing a fake yawn as he was currently wearing Hilda's clothes and had a large blue wig to cover his hair as he made sure to hide his face with Hilda's scarf.

"Alright, good to know. Goodnight, David," Hilda says as she waved at the group, and David turned to wink at her with the disguised little girl doing the same as David then walked out of his apartment to walk out of the building with Jumba and Pleakley while Hilda stayed behind as she closed the door and was quick to turn around to head towards David's room.

"Hold on there, son," Gabriel ordered firmly while putting down his newspaper as he walked over to Hilda, who froze in the spot with a nervous look on her face as she made sure to pull down her cap to hide her face just as Gabriel walked up behind her as he inspects her body. "Oh, there's no bug on you. Ha, never mind. Good for you, son. You've been getting a lot of bugs on you more than usual lately for these past few months. I think you keep getting them from that Hilda girl. It makes sense since she comes from the Wilderness and all." Gabriel says with a good-natured laugh as he walked back into the living room, not noticing that Hilda shot him a small glare as she scratches her head just as a small bug crawled out of her loose strand of blue hair as Hilda blushed in embarrassment by thus and flicked away the bug while hiding her blue hair as she began making her way into David's room and also made a mental note to ask her mother if she could buy her that special brand of shampoo that kills of bugs from someone's hair.

"Pssst, Hilda? You there?" Frida whispered while hanging onto Stitch by wrapping her arms around his neck as Experiment 626 was currently clinging onto the wall of the building like a spider near David's Bedroom Window as they were waiting for Hilda to show up to let them into the room.

"Yeah, I'm here." Hilda whispered while opening the window as Stitch crawled through it and stuck to the ceiling like a spider as Frida lets go of him and landed next to Hilda on David's bed with an audible 'oof'.

"You know, at first it was scary riding on Stitch, but after a while, you get used to it, you know? It's like riding a really strong and fast horse." Frida complimented with a smile as a grateful Stitch gave her a thumbs up. "Also, your story worked, Hilda. My Mother talked with Jumba and Pleakley and thinks that I'm having a sleepover at your apartment." Frida says as Hilda nods in satisfaction.

"Good. Now, here's the plan, guys. I'll sleep in David's Bed so Angelica the Marra will think that I'm David. Frida, you will hide under David's Desk, where the Marra won't see you. Just to make sure Angelica doesn't go after you, you'll belt yourself into your sleeping bag."

"Got it," Frida says while pulling out her sleeping bag and leather belt from out of nowhere as she and Stitch continued listening to the plan.

"Yeah, anyway, I've noticed that the Marra always enter or exit a place through a keyhole, so we will have Alfur guard it." Hilda says just as Alfur popped out of her wig as he waved at the duo with a friendly 'Hello!'. "According to Alfur's records, the Marra has no paperwork on file with the Elves, so she won't see or feel him when Angelica faces through the keyhole and into the room. While the Marra is distracted with trying to give me nightmares, Alfur will wake you up, and you will trap the Marra by using her weakness of leather belts against her to hold her in place long enough for us to-,"

"Beat her up?" Stitch asked hopefully/eagerly as Hilda glances up at him deadpannedly.

"No, Stitch, we talk with her to see if she's open to negotiations...but if not, then we'll let you fight her enough that she will be too frightened to come to David's room again," Hilda says as Stitch grinned excitedly and nodded as he chuckled. "Anyway, Jumba and Pleakley will take David back to Stitch and I's apartment so that David can get some goodnight's sleep. God knows he needs it, but while David's sleeping, Jumba, and Pleakley will watch over him with their plasma guns just in case the Marra was able to escape us and try to reach David. Everyone clear on the plan?" Hilda asked as Frida, Stitch, and Alfur nodded seriously as everyone went around to their positions to begin with Hilda's plan as Logan, who was in the form of an Owl, could be seen standing outside of David's House on a powerline as he narrowed his eyes at the group and decided to wait until the Marra shows up to see how they would deal with her.

Three hours later, around 11:00 pm, we see Angelica the Marra walking casually to David's Apartment Building while whistling a small tune under her breath as she swiftly transforms into green spectral energy and phases through the keylock of the front doors as Angelica was able to teleport herself up to David's Apartment Door and phased through the keylock as she appeared inside of his apartment. Giggling to herself sinisterly, the Marra drops down on all fours as she started crawling through the hallway like a creepy spider before reaching David's Room as she phased through the keylock after transforming her body into spectral green energy, alarming Alfur as he shot up from the small hammock he made in the door lock and was quick to jump down onto the pillow placed in front of the door as Alfur leaped off of it and landed on the ground as he quickly ran over to Frida, who was sleeping under David's Desk in her sleeping bag while strapping herself with a leather belt as Alfur made his way over to whisper into her ear that the Marra was here.

Waking up, Frida opened her eyes as she turned her head and gasped softly as she saw a smirking Angelica the Marra floating in the air while staring at a sleeping 'David', who was actually Hilda resting in her friend's bed while holding onto his teddy bear as Frida quickly unhooked her leather belt and grabbed it as the little black-haired girl got out of her sleeping bag and slowly made her way over to the Marra. Grinning at her sleeping prey, Angelica slowly floated over to a disguised Hilda with her eyes glowing green as she was about to use her Marra Powers on 'David' to give him some more nightmares, but stopped as she heard a noise behind her and turned around as Angelica glared at a frozen terrified Frida, who was trying to tie her leather belt around her legs as the Marra was quick to fly out of her reach.

"Dream on, you little punk. Like I'm going to let myself get trapped by some little kid." Angelica says to Frida tauntingly as the intelligent little girl gulps down her fear and gave the Marra a nervous yet smug smirk on her face.

"How about a little kid and her alien friend?" Hilda! Stitch! Now!" Frida yelled just as Hilda opened her eyes as she shot up from her bed, with her teddy bear doing the same, as it turned out to be Stitch wearing a teddy bear costume.

"We got you!/Chubicaca!" Hilda and Stitch shouted in unison as they grabbed a pair of leather belts that they had hidden under the covers and leaped up as they tackled a surprised Angelica onto David's bed and were quick to tie her up arms close to her waist with their leather belts.

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Angelica screamed in pain as she felt her skin burn upon contact with the leather belts and tried to escape by flying away as Stitch was quick to grab onto the ends of the Leather belts and forcefully dragged a struggling Marra away as Stitch tied up the leather belts around David's bed stands, causing an enraged Angelica to struggle to escape but failed as all she did was have her skin continue being burned.

"There's no point in escaping. You will only hurt yourself more if you try." Hilda says with a smirk while taking off her wig as Stitch unleashed his alien appendages and shredded his teddy bear disguised as he growled up at the Marra.

"You two! You're that Weird Girl who's been chasing me all over town with her crazy alien pet!" A glaring Angelica says as Hilda and Stitch narrowed their eyes up at her while Frida took Hilda's tiny Plasma Gun out of one of her pockets as she aimed her friend's weapon up at the Marra just in case she was able to set herself free somehow.

"And you're the one who's been giving my friend David nightmares!" Hilda shot back with a glare as Angelica rolled her eyes at this with a scoff.

"Uh, duh! His nightmares are the best! There's so much to work with! He's scared of everything!" Angelica says with a taunting laugh as Hilda and Stitch gritted their teeth up at her in rage.

"That's not funny!" Hilda yelled as Angelica stopped laughing and rolled her eyes once again as she crossed her arms.

"Oh, whatever, you two like scaring him too. The Rat King told me that David was, like, practically crying when you two went to see him." Angelica says with a smirk while laying in the air comfortably as the trio was surprised by the new piece of information.

"You know the Rat King?" Frida asked as Angelica nodded and grinned slyly as she saw Hilda looking down guiltily for scaring her friend, and Stitch sees this as he was quick to cheer her up.

"No, Hilda and Stitch nice! Hilda and Stitch trying to help David be more brave like us! Youga a Dummyhead!" Stitch says while turning around to shake his posterior at Angelica mockingly as the Marra gaped at this in shock/disgust, and Frida and Hilda giggled at this as the now cheered up blue-haired girl glared up at the Marra and pointed at her accusingly.

"Stitch's right! We're trying to help our friend get over his fears while you're making them worse! You're nothing more than an evil witch who has way too much free time! I mean, seriously, don't you and the other Marras have anything better than to scare little kids every night? It seems that you and the all of the other Marras are just desperate losers with no real friends or boyfriends to hang around with, so you all spend your time messing around with little kids since you all have nothing better to do~," Hilda says sassily while whisper-yelling to Frida and Stitch, who laughed as Angelica blushed in embarrassment and anger as her eyes glowed green brightly and the furious Marra tried to lunge forward to hurt Hilda, only for a glaring Stitch to leap up and kick her on the face as Angelica crashed landed on David's bed with Experiment 626 landing on her chest as he glared down at the now scared Marra and lifts up his hand as Stitch unleashed his claws and was about to attack the Marra for daring to try and hurt his friend, but then-

"Wait, Stitch, that's enough!" Hilda says while running over to grab Stitch's hand as she gave him a serious look. "Let me talk with her first before you do anything," Hilda says as Stitch frowned stoically but nodded as he retracted his claws, and the blue-haired adventure girl turned to glare at a nervous Angelica. "Alright, Marra, here's how this is going to go down. I want you to stop giving David nightmares and leave him alone."

"Ha! Yeah, right! The girls love his nightmares! I'm not giving that up!" Angelica says with an evil grin as the trio glared at her in irritation before an idea popped into an intelligent Stitch's head as he jumped off of David's bed and walked over to whisper his plan to Hilda, who grins slyly as she nodded and turned to smirk at Angelica smugly.

"Oh, I see, so you pick on David because it's easy, huh? I don't know, girl, that's kind of weaksauce."

"What?!" An angry Angelica asked as Hilda nodded while turning to Frida and Stitch.

"Frida, Stitch, doesn't she seem a little weaksauce to you two?" Hilda asked as Stitch nodded without hesitation while Frida simply shrugged at the Marra with a knowing smirk on her face as Angelica narrowed her eyes at the trio angrily.

"Oh, I'm looking a little weaksauce, huh? Well, let's see how weaksauce I am! What's up?!" Angelica asked while flying closer to the group as Hilda merely raised her hands with a lopsided smirk on her face.

"I'm just saying that scaring a kid who's scared of belts and his own shadow isn't much of a challenge. Anyone could scare David, to be honest. I mean, Stitch and I have been unintentionally scaring David without us even trying, so what does that say about you? I'm sure that your Marra Friends are secretly laughing at you for not stepping up your nightmare game." Hilda insulted while placing her hand on her hip with a sly grin.

"Why you little-?!" Angelica says while gritting her teeth furiously but did not attack the group due to not wanting Stitch to hurt her as she merely glared at them from the air.

"Ih. David easy to scare. Why not scare meega and Hilda? We're brave. Neither have fear." Stitch says with a smug grin as Angelica raised an eyebrow at the group.

"Oh, really?

"Yeah, so, here's how the game is going to play out. You will give Stitch and I nightmares and, if we're both able to conquer our fears, which we both don't have, by the way, you'll have to leave David alone forever, those are the terms of our deal...unless, of course, your too afraid to challange an eleven-year-old girl and her cute and fluffy friend." Hilda says while placing her arm around Stitch's shoulder as Angelica narrowed her eyes at them before placing her hand on her chin thoughtfully as, after a few minutes of careful thinking and consideration, the Marra eventually came to a decision.

"Fine, go to sleep then, but let's see how the fearless Hilda and Stitch face against a powerful Nightmare Spirit," Angelica says with a sinister, high-pitched evil laugh as the trio were a little unnerved by her laugh, but Hilda and Stitch were able to compose themselves quickly as they scrambled up to David's bed. "Oh, if you wake them up before I'm done, the deal's off," Angelica says to Frida threateningly as the black-haired little girl gulped in fear but nods weakly as Angelica then turned back to Hilda and Stitch. "Sleep tight, don't let your nightmares eat you up inside," Angelica says with another creep malicious laugh as Hilda and Stitch ignored what she said and rested on David's bed as they closed their eyes.

"...GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!" An impatient Angelica the Marra screamed in frustration/anger as Hilda and Stitch had spent the next twenty minutes tossing and turning in their sleep.

"We're trying! It's not easy falling asleep on purpose, you know!" Hilda yelled to the Marra with a glare as Stitch nodded.

"Ih, so shut up and wait for Stitch and Hilda to sleep!" Stitch ordered as Angelica the Marra rolled her eyes and groaned in annoyance as she nodded reluctantly and continued floating around, waiting for the duo to fall asleep as Frida went over to sit down on a chair while still aiming Hilda's Plasma Gun at the Marra in case she does anything funny as Alfur decided to go back to his little hammock in the keyhole in the door lock to look out for David's Parents if they ever suddenly woke up from their sleep to check on their son.

~[Hilda's Dreamscape]~

"Mmm...mm...ugh, I can't sleep!" Hilda yelled in frustration while getting up from David's bed as the blue-haired little girl rubbed her eyes and looked around as she saw Stitch sleeping beside her and Frida sleeping in her sleeping bag, but what surprised Hilda the most was that the Marra was nowhere in sight. "Did she escape? How did she escape?! Ugh, the Marra must've tricked us and escaped when we let our guard down! Stitch! Stitch, wake up! You have my permission to track her down and...wait." Hilda says while turning around to shake Stitch to wake him up...only to raise an eyebrow as her friend was replaced with a blue furry koala, and it honked her nose with a joker-style laugh as the room around her started glowing brightly with purple/red lights as Hilda blinks at this with a deadpan expression.

"Oh, I'm in the dream now. That makes much more sense." Hilda says while getting out of David's bed as she walked over to the door and opened it as the blue-haired girl saw that she was back in her Apartment in Trollberg and was surprised to see her mother sitting in front of her on the kitchen table with Roland sitting beside her as they both had their backs against her. "Mum? When did you get back from your business trip? And why is Mr. Trenton here? It's pretty late."

"Hilda, we have a big surprise for you...Roland and I are getting married!" Joanna exclaimed with an excited/happy squeal while whirling around to smile at a stunned Hilda and showed off the engagement ring that Roland gave her as both of them had glowing green eyes. "Say hello to your new Daddy."

"Hilda, baby girl, you and I are going to have so much father and daughter bonding. And, good news, we made you the Flower Girl of the Wedding while Amun here will be the ring bearer." Roland says with a warm smile on his face as Amun appeared while carrying around a pillow that had a couple of rings with his beak as he wore a tux.

"I'm...more angry than scared, to be honest," Hilda stated blankly with a glare as Joanna and Roland turned to her in surprise.

"Really? I thought you would be scared of Roland marrying your Mum and taking your Daddy's place?" Joanna asked as Hilda shrugged.

"Eh, I was at first, but after having a talk with my Mum and Mr. Trenton during the whole 'The Great Raven' incident, I'm no longer scared of Mr. Trenton taking my Dad's place since I know that he wasn't trying to do anything of that sort. I'm just angry that Mum agreed to marry Mr. Trenton when they aren't even dating yet nor consulted me about it to see how I would feel about this." Hilda says with her arms crossed as Joanna and Roland gritted their teeth angrily and ripped out their faces, showing two sides of Angelica's face as the duo then transformed into spectral green energy and disappeared from sight as a mild earthquake rang out.

"Huh? What's going?" A curious Hilda asked as she went over to the door and opened it as the blue-haired girl was shocked/amazed to be back in the old home that she lived in the woods with her Mum as Hilda stepped out of the wooden house and was surprised to see herself in her normal clothes as Hilda looked around. "Hello? Anybody here?" Hilda asked just as another tremor rang out as a large foot slammed down in front of her, and the blue-haired adventurer slowly looks up as she gasped at the sight of a Forest Giant glaring down at her with his eyes glowing green.

"Mmm, you'll make a fine between-meals snack." The Forest Giant says as he bends down to grab Hilda while licking his lips as he was threatening to eat her whole, but then-

"Huh, weird, Forest Giants aren't known to eat people. It upsets their stomachs." Hilda informed the Forest Giant as she easily got out of his grip and fell down on his neck as Hilda started climbing up to his head thanks to his thick fur. "Are you trying new things because your life's in a rut? Eating people won't fill that void, you know? Hmmm, I'm thinking that you're bored of being here on Earth and probably want to go up to space with the bigger Giants like Jorgen and Valfreyja. Well, don't worry, friend, I can call up the Galactic Federation to have them send in a ship for you to use to travel through the stars. Grandcouncilwoman gave me this special space phone that lets me talk to her directly so that I can give her my monthly reports on Stitch's 'rehabilitation' sentence." Hilda says while crawling up the bewildered Forest Giant's face as she then took out a small round-shaped brown/yellow alien communicator from one of her pockets and was about to dial up the Galactic Federation, only for the annoyed Forest Giant to reach up to grab her as he then tossed her away.

"Whoooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaffffffffffffffff!" Hilda screamed as she fell through the air and grunted as she crashed landed on a nearby flying Woff with a small grunt as several other Woffs flew close to them. "...Hey, 'whoaf' sounds a bit like 'woff'. Is that why we call you a 'woff'?" A smiling, amused Hilda asked the Woff as it remained silent. "I bet it is," Hilda says with a laugh as she then grabbed onto the Woff's fur and begins flying through the air with it rapidly while cheering as an annoyed Angelica the Marra appeared in one of the Forest Giant's eyes and huffed as she decided to see if she would have an easier time with Hilda's Alien Friend and poofed away to Stitch's Subconscious.

~[Stitch's Dreamscape]~

"Ugh, choka? Yukio ma meega? (Ugh, what? Where am I?)," A groggy Stitch says while waking up as he sat up from the tube that he was sleeping inside with his alien appendages revealed to the world as Experiment 626 stretched out his tired limbs-Wait, hold on a minute, what? A confused Stitch blinks a couple of times as he looks around and gasped as the blue furry alien realized that he was back in Jumba's Main Space Lab and was currently inside of the large tube that he was born in as Stitch turned his head and saw Jumba standing off to the side, working on something as he had his back turned to his creation. "Jumba?"

"Uh oh, Experiment 626. You seemed to be defective. You were never meant to break off from your programming. Looks like your another failed experiment...welp, no time to cry about it. Let's break you down and create a newer, better, stronger, powerful experiment that will bring total destruction to our galaxy!" Jumba screamed while turning towards Stitch with his four eyes glowing green as he held up a giant knife and laughs evilly as Stitch stared at him in stunned shock before grinning wildly as he laughed.

"Lovu lel ot huv ot polo meega kitch, Jumba! (You're going to have to catch me first, Jumba!)," Stitch screamed while laughing mischievously as he raised his fists and smashes the glass tube containing him apart into a billion pieces as Stitch leaps down onto the ground and begins running around, breaking things left and right with his superhuman strength as Jumba stared at this with wide, shocked eyes.

"Wait, what's going on?! I thought you would be scared of having your creator see you as a failure of an evil experiment and wanting to break you apart again to create a better experiment?" Jumba asked in bewilderment as Stitch, who was hanging from the ceiling and was ripping apart the lab, looks down at him and shrugged.

"Stitch was scared, but Jumba assures that Stitch is still greatest creation, and we don't want to destroy anymore. Stitch and Jumba are good now." Stitch stated firmly before continuing his rampage on the lab as Jumba gripped his head in frustration and anger as he fumed and whirled around to transform back into Angelica the Marra and snarled up at the little experiment as she then snapped her fingers and reality around them changed as a curious Stitch blinked and looks around as Experiment 626 saw that he was once again imprisoned in the containment device located in the Prison Transport Durgon Ship.

"Uncomfortable? Oh...good!" A familiar voice rang out as Stitch narrowed his eyes and turned his head as he saw a glaring Gantu standing in front of him with his eyes glowing green. "The council has banished you to exile on a deserted asteroid where you will never be able to get out off. You will spend the rest of your life alone and wallowing in your misery as no one, and I mean, no one will be able to-Aargh!" Gantu says before yelping in surprise as Stitch easily broke out of the containment device and was happy to see that he was wearing his spacesuit as he landed on Gantu's face and waited until the Large Plasma Guns activated and turned to aim at him as they fired multiple plasma blasts at them and a smirking Stitch was able to dodge it as the lethal blasts collided against Gantu's body, granting him extreme pain and agony as he crashed landed on the floor as a laughing Stitch ran around with the Large Plasma Blasts recklessly trying to blast him apart as it unintentionally began destroying everything in sight.

"Grrr, this is asinine." Angelica the Marra says while appearing under a glowing green-eyed Gantu as she crossed her arms with a huff. "There must be SOMETHING that scares that Weird Girl and her Alien Demon Pet. Like, I don't know, maybe they have a dark secret that...wait...oh, yeah, they do have a couple of juicy secrets for me to exploit." Angelica the Marra says while rubbing her hands together with sinister glee as she decided to let Stitch have his fun for now and teleported over to Hilda's Subconscious.

~[Hilda's Dreamscape]~

With Hilda, we see the blue-haired little girl giggling up a storm as she was riding through the air on her Woff before screaming in fright as a random explosion appeared behind her, and sends her falling off her Woff as Hilda crashed landed on the floor and groans in pain as she slowly sits up from the ground and turns her head as the young adventurer gasped in shock at the sight of her burning/destroyed home in the Trollberg Woods. Trembling slightly with a bead of sweat rolling down her forehead, Hilda shakily stood up from the ground and continued staring in stunned agony and horror at the sight of her beloved old destroyed home as loud footsteps suddenly rang out, and the nervous blue-haired girl turned around as she gasped sharply at the sight of a malicious-looking green-eyed Gantu glaring down at her.

"Ah, there you are," Gantu says with a sinister grin as Hilda screamed in fear at the sight of him and tried to turn around to run away, only for Gantu to reach down to snatch her out of the ground as Hilda panicked and panted heavily as she began struggling to break out of his grip.

"No, no, no! Let go of me! Let me go!" Hilda screamed fearfully as Gantu couldn't help but laugh at her futile attempts to escape out of his grip mockingly.

"Ha, ha, nice try, little girl. Kick and scream all you want, but you will never be able to escape from me this time." Gantu says while turning around to pull out a beeper as he clicked a button and his ship appeared in front of him after dropping its cloak shield as Gantu then pulled out a huge see-through container, and Hilda's eyes widened at it with a familiar feeling of fear creeping up her spine as the Former Galactic Federation Captain proceeds to drop Hilda inside of it. "Now, sit tight and enjoy the ride because soon you will be transported to an Alien Zoo where you will spend the rest of your life being treated like an animal and never see your friends and family again," Gantu says while placing the container at the back of his ship as a whimpering Hilda scurried to the back of the container and placed her hand over her heavily beating heart as Gantu sees this and smiled amusedly as he chuckled evilly.

"Oh, don't be scared now. I'm sure the Zookeepers there will treat you nicely...or not, maybe they will torture you a bit for fun? Let's see and find out." Gantu says while suddenly snapping his fingers as reality around them changed, and a gasping Hilda suddenly finds herself inside of an alien zoo with her neck/arms/legs chained up from the ceiling as she was placed inside of a small habitat that simulated an Earth Forest and was wearing a dark gray cap with a long-sleeved light gray shirt, a dark gray belt, long light gray pants, and no shoes as Hilda was covered with dirt and filth due to the Zoo not bothering letting her have a place to take a shower as the blue-haired girl was also incredibly skinny and malnourished. "Come one, come all to get a look at the Freaky Earthling Child!" Gantu screamed while standing outside of the habitat as a group of aliens appeared and ran over to stare at a terrified Hilda through the see-through glass in her habitat as they pulled out their cameras and started taking pictures of her.

"Hey! No, no, stop!" Hilda shouted while raising her hand to cover her eyes from the flashes of light emitting from the cameras as she then started running towards them. "What are you doing?! Can't you see that I'm trapped here!? I need to get out of here! Please! I need to go back home to my family and frie-Aah!" Hilda pleaded while running towards the Alien Zoo Tourists, only to yelp in pain as the chains painfully pulled her back and nearly choked her as she felt heat emitted from her chains, slightly burning her skin as Hilda screamed and gritted her teeth with tears of pain rolling down her eyes as a Zookeeper appeared by a door placed in her habitat.

"The tourists are getting bored, monkey! Do some tricks or dance or something!" The Zookeeper ordered while pulling out a remote from his pocket as he pressed a button and the chains holding Hilda lifted up the little girl into the air as they began controlling her like a puppet with its strings as they forced the blue-haired girl to dance and make a fool of herself in front of the Alien Tourists, who laughed and continued taking pictures of this as Gantu grinned at this evilly and crossed his arms with a laugh as Hilda teared up at this and begins crying as she tried to figure out how to escape the Alien Zoo on her own, but couldn't figure out a way for her to escape as the group of Tourists begins ordering her to do more humiliating tricks.

"Well, well, well, I think I have enough fun here. It's time to deal with Stitch." Angelica the Marra says while appearing on Gantu's shoulder as she teleported to Stitch's Subconscious with a witch-like laugh.

~[Stitch's Dreamscape]~

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Stitch laughed mischievously while still causing destruction and mayhem in the Galactic Federation Prison Transport Durgon Ship as he ran out of his jail cell and looked around as Stitch saw that the hallway was closing in on him by two sets of giant doors and was quick to run up to one of the doors as he grabbed it with his four arms and lifted up it up with ease, thanks to his amazing strength as Experiment 626 grunted and was able to make it to the other side as he was surprised to see himself standing in a dark and eerie area that was covered with thick fog, making it nearly impossible to see as Stitch looks around confusedly.

"STITCH! HELP ME!" Hilda's voice rang out in the fog as Stitch perked up and searched the area for his friend worriedly as Experiment 626 turned on his Thermal Vision and saw Hilda's heat signature standing several hundred feet away from him. "STITCH! HELP! I'M IN TROUBLE! I'M GOING TO DIE!"

"Hilda! Stitch coming!" Stitch screamed reassuringly while dropping down on all fours as he ran after to help his friend from the unknown danger and, after a few minutes of running, Experiment 626 was able to find his friend as he saw a scared, trembling Hilda standing in a very small island that was surrounded with four big sharks that all have glowing green eyes as they jumped out of the water every few seconds to try and eat the terrified eleven-year-old girl.

"AAH! STITCH, HELP! SWIM OVER AND FIGHT OFF THESE SHARKS BEFORE THEY EAT ME!"

"S-Swim?!" A nervous Stitch asked as the fog cleared up, and he was surprised to see himself floated over the ocean as the former evil destructive alien gasped in shock and yelped as he was suddenly dropped drown into the water and a panicking Stitch struggled to keep himself up float as a shark was close to eating off Hilda's head, but the little blue-haired girl was able to dodge out of harm's way as Hilda turned over to hold out her hand at Stitch pleadingly.

"STITCH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING JUST FLOATING THERE?! HELP ME! THESE SHARKS ARE GOING TO KILL ME!" Hilda screamed with tears of fear running down her eyes as a struggling, panting Stitch struggled to swim over to his endangered friend.

"HILDA! STITCH TRYING, BUT STITCH CAN'T SWIM!" Stitch screamed before gasping as he was unable to keep afloat and ended up sinking down into the ocean as Stitch placed his hands over his mouth and struggled to keep his breath in and not drown to death as Experiment 626's eyes were filled with deep fear and horror as he tried to swim up to the surface but failed as a gurgling Stitch continued sinking further and further down into the ocean with one of the Sharks breaking out of the formation around the island to swim over and grins down at a drowning Stitch sinisterly as she let out an evil laugh that was similar to Angelica the Marra's malicious laugh.

~{Real World}~

"Ugh...no, please...someone...help me...Mum, Stitch, where are you?!/Meega can't swim...can't breath...M-Meega can't save Hilda...can't save anyone!" Hilda and Stitch murmured in their sleep while squirming around in David's bed as Frida watched over them warily before her walkie-talkie beeped a couple of times as she reached over to pull it out one of her pockets and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Ah, Little Black-Haired Girl, it's Jumba. Jumba was just checking in to see what was going with the whole Marra situation?" Jumba asked curiously as Frida had informed him and Pleakley on the bet that Hilda and Stitch made with the Marra a couple of hours ago.

"Not good. At first, I thought Hilda and Stitch were winning but, for now, it seems that the Marra is beating them," Frida says into the walkie-talkie while glancing down at her squirming, whimpering friends concernedly.

"Oh, no, what do we do?" Jumba asks as Frida remains silent and simply lowers her head in defeat as she closes her eyes and sighs heavily as Frida was unable to come up with an answer, but, thankfully, Logan, who had earlier sneaked into David's Room in the form of a mouse sees this and decided to finally get himself involved as Logan made his way over to the famous duo and leaped onto David's Bed as he went over to a sleeping, wailing Hilda and Stitch as Logan reaches up to place his paws on their heads, and his eyes glowed black/purple as his subconscious was sucked into Hilda and Stitch's minds.

~[Angelica the Marra's Subconscious Space]~

"Oh, this is really going smoothly." Angelica the Marra says with a sly evil grin on her face as she was hovering in front of two large spectral green orbs with one of the orbs showed an image of Hilda's Nightmare while the other orb showed an image of Stitch's Nightmare as the Marra placed her hands on her hips and laughs victoriously. "Ha, ha, who is not at the top of their Marra game now?"

"Not you, apparently. I mean, come on, scaring an eleven-year-old girl and her alien friend? Dick move, girl, dick move." Logan's voice rang out as Angelica the Marra flinched, surprised that there was someone else inside of her subconscious space as Angelica turns around and scans the area before her as the Marra's eyes glowed green.

"Where are you? Who are you?" Angelica asked with a threatening growl as she suddenly felt a presence above her and looked up as the Marra gasped in shock at the sight of a giant, muscular, gooey black monster with white eyes and a big red tongue sticking on the ceiling.

"Your worst fucking nightmare," Logan says while in the form of the gooey monster as he screeched and unsticks himself from the roof as Logan falls down through the air and reared back his fist as he shape-shifted his arm into a sword and tried to cut off the Marra's head, but Angelica was able to dodge it by transforming into spectral green energy.

"What the hell?!" A shocked Marra says while forming her body to normal as she then yelped in fear when a roaring Logan leaped up and swung his arm blade at her as Angelica reacted quickly and narrowed her eyes with a glare as she teleported away just as Logan landed on the ground from where she used to stand on as the light blonde-haired Marra teleported behind Logan and raised her hands to fire dual green energy blasts at him.

"You're a Marra, right?" Logan asked casually while creating a hole in his chest as the energy beams flew past him harmlessly. "I worked with your kind before," Logan says while fixing up the hole in his chest as Marra blinked before smirking at him cockily as she chuckled.

"Oh, really? The flawless Spirit kind, am I right?"

"Close. Blowhards who botch jobs." Logan says with a taunting smirk as Marra gasped at this sharply and narrowed her eyes at him with a growl before taking a couple of steps back as Logan's body was covered with black/purple smirk, and Angelica saw him transforming into an eight-feet-tall long black-haired warrior with a muscular built, gray skin, and was wearing a white skull with black armored pants as Logan was holding onto a pair of small scythes.

"Oh, crap!" The Marra screamed nervously as Logan ran over to swing his weapons at her, but Angelica was able to float away from his swing and was forced to teleport away to dodge a lethal swing at her midsection as the Marra appeared above Logan and lowered her arms as she fired multiple green, spiritual energy blasts at her opponent's head, not hurting him whatsoever as Logan glances up at her and throw his scythe at the light blonde-haired Marra, who once again teleported away as Logan waited a bit before Angelica appeared behind him as the shape-shifting Mutant Warlock whirled around to use the blunt end of his other scythe to slam it against the Marra's stomach. "Ugh!" Angelica the Marra grunted in surprise/pain as she was sent flying back and crash-landed onto the ground as she groans.

"Today, we're going to a party in Hell."

"W-What's the occasion?" Marra asked fearfully as Logan grins down at her somewhat sinisterly.

"Celebrating your eternal damnation," Logan says before a black/purple smoke covered his body as he transformed into a 6-feet-tall bald-headed man with black/white skin as he wore a high collared red cape with armored gauntlets/kneepads as Logan also carried around a sword. Not giving the Marra enough time to react, Logan swung down his sword at Angelica with a stream of green fire shooting towards her as the Marra's eyes widened in fear and were too late to react as the fireball collided against her, and Angelica screamed in pain as her form was dissolved. Knowing that her opponent wasn't dead and will come back in a few minutes, Logan wasted no time in walking over to the Nightmare Orbs as he changed back into his normal form and saw that Hilda and Stitch were in trouble as he narrowed his eyes and reaches out to place his hands on the Orbs, which both started glowing black/purple as Logan begins talking to both of them individually.

~[Hilda's Dreamscape]~

"Please...please, someone help me..." Hilda says hoarsely while still being controlled by her chains to dance around like a fool as the Alien Tourists continued laughing at her amusedly and took many pictures of the sad little blue-haired girl as Gantu grins at this sadistically and crosses his arms as he leans against the wall and Hilda looks down somberly as she was about to accept her fate and spend the rest of her life suffering in an Alien Zoo like an animal but then-

"Hilda? Hilda!" Logan's voice rang out with a black/purple light shining down at her as Hilda perked up at the voice and gasped in shock as she looked around hopefully. "I know that you're feeling scared, but you have to fight this! Don't give in to the Marra's Nightmare's Influence! If you give up right now, the Marra will win!" Logan shouted firmly as Hilda didn't say anything but looked down defeatedly, feeling too much fear and pain in her heart to be able to break out of the Marra's Spiritual Spells as Logan sees this and grows serious as he sighs heavily.

"Look, Hilda, I know that you may act tough and brave in front of your friends and say that Adventures don't get scared, but that's completely false. I can tell that just by looking at you that you've always buried your fears and locked them away deep in your subconscious. Hidden, but something is gnawing away in the darkness of your mind, isn't it? Something even you can't control anymore, and it keeps eating you up inside, but it doesn't mean that you've to face this fear on your own. You're not alone anymore, Hilda. You have family and friends to help you. You reaching out and asking for help doesn't make you weak. Asking for help is actually one of the strongest and bravest things that a person could do because it shows how much you love the person you're asking help from, but the question is...do you trust them to bail you out of this problem?" Logan asked firmly as Hilda's eyes widened in shock by what Mr. Crane said as she looks down in thought and closed her eyes as she began searching inside of herself and asked if she was willing to trust the people she loves to come and save her and the answer was a big fat 'Yes!' as Hilda teared up and swallowed her pride as an adventurer as the blue-haired-girl reared back her head and screamed.

"Mum! Stitch! Alfur! Twig! Jumba! Pleakley! Frida! David! Mr. Trenton! Amun! Help me! Please! I can't get out of this mess on my own! Please, help." Hilda says while lowering her head as tears began running down her eyes and started crying as smirking green-eyed Gantu continued letting the Alien Tourists play around with their new Zoo Animal but then everyone flinched as a loud explosion rang out and everyone turned their heads as everyone gasped at the sight of Stitch, Joanna, and the others running into the building, guns blazing as they began shotting everyone in sight and Hilda couldn't help but to smile at this warmly/tearfully, no longer feeling fear in her heart due to knowing that no matter what happens, her family and friends will always be there to help her out as Hilda closed her eyes and Gantu let out a loud angry scream as he tried to reach out to her, but failed as his eyes glowed brightly and his form started cracking with glowing green lights as he soon blew up and reality around them crumbled as Hilda, who had regained her usual clothes and appearance, was flung upwards through a spectral black/purple portal with a joyful laugh.

~[Stitch's Dreamscape]~

Unable to hold in his breath any longer, Stitch lets out a gasp as water started filling up his lungs and the young experiment started drowning to death as tears appeared in Stitch's eyes, and his vision started blurring as the big-eared alien slowly closed his eyes and his body went lax as Stitch heard Hilda screaming for him from the surface but was unable to muster up the strength to try and fight for his life as the powerful Experiment 626 was about to accept his death when suddenly a black/purple light started shining down from the surface as Stitch opened up his eyes and looked up at the light confusedly as a familiar voice rang out.

"Stitch, you can't up this easily! You have to fight! I know that you can't swim in water, but you can't let this obstacle stop you from saving Hilda!" Logan's encouraging voice rang out as Stitch merely didn't say anything and closed his eyes as he continued floating down the endless ocean, knowing that it was futile fighting against his weakness as, while it was a hard pill to swallow, Stitch has to admit that he doesn't have the strength or courage to fight through his fear as Logan sees this and his features soften as his voice goes sympathetic. "Stitch, I'm not saying that it's not okay to be scared. You're allowed to feel fear and nervousness just like any other human being or alien, but do you know what happens when a man, or an alien, in this case, allows himself to be controlled by his fears? They will never have the courage to live through their lives to the fullest! Whether you like it or not, Stitch, you live on a planet that is majorly is covered in water. Sooner or later, you have to face your fears and fight through them so that you will be able to protect the people you love! Tell me, Stitch, what are you afraid of more? Water or having Hilda die?"

"Hilda!" Stitch screamed panickedly before narrowing his eyes as he growled and closed his eyes in concentration as 626 took deep breathes to control and his fear of drowning in water started dying down as Stitch slowly opened his eyes...and blinks as he looks around and gasped as the furry blue realized that he was no longer suffocating to death and was able to breathe normally!

Confused by this, Stitch's Super Intelligence was quick at work as he was quick to theorize that, while he can't swim or float in the water, it doesn't mean that he can't breathe underwater since Stitch remembered that he doesn't need oxygen to survive due to being able to breathe in space. Beaming at this, Stitch then frowned as he realized that he was still sinking down into the water and frantically struggled to come up with a plan to float up back to the surface and save Hilda as Stitch's intelligent mind gave him a possible idea that might work, and the young experiment was quick to lower his four arms. Unleashing claws, Stitch closed his hands in concentration as he joined his claws together into the shape of two big fans, and they started spinning around rapidly as Stitch was instantly sent flying upwards and Experiment 626 yelped at this in surprise as he then grinned excitedly and cheered upon finding a way to get around his weakness as Stitch then narrowed his eyes angrily and propelled himself up to the surface as he shot out like a torpedo.

"Luvo ym Hilda poplo! (Leave my Hilda alone!)," Stitch shouted while flying over to the small island that Hilda was trapped on as he morphed his claws back to normal and hid them away as Stitch then rolled up into a ball and crash-landed onto the island as he rolled towards Hilda and unrolled himself as Stitch reaches out to grab the smiling blue-haired-girl and lifted her up into the air as 626 growled at the sharks around him.

"You want a piece of Stitch, huh? YOU WANT A PIECE OF STICH?! RRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!" Stitch screamed while letting out a roar as one of the green-eyed Sharks leaped up to try and eat them whole, only for Stitch to leap and kick the shark so hard that it was poofed away out of existence. Landing on the ground, Stitch saw two sharks swimming over to the island to then leaped up into the air to try and eat them but were quickly killed off by Stitch as he reared back his head and spits out a large torrent of acid that impacted against the Sharks and killed them off as one more shark remained and Stitch slowly turned to glare at him venomously as the green-eyed shark whimpered like a dog and decided to explode himself out of existence rather than face the dangerous experiment as Stitch smirks and places Hilda down on the ground as he then stood up to his tippy toes and reaches up to pat his blue-haired human friend on the head reassuringly.

"Don't worry, Hilda. Youga safe now." Stitch says with a grin as Hilda smiled and bends down to hug him as Stitch smiled warmly and hugs him back before spotting a large spectral black/purple above him as 626 lets go of Hilda and proceed to crouch as the furry blue experiment grunted and leaped up high into the air as he flew into the portal with a mischievous, determined grin on his face.

~[Angelica the Marra's Subconscious Space]~

"Good job, kids," Logan says with a proud smirk on his face as he saw both Hilda and Stitch conquering their fears and were making their way into Angelica the Marra's Subconscious Space as the Librarian's Boyfriend cricked his neck and was planning on going back into the Real World, but stopped as he felt a familiar presence behind him and smirked as black/purple smoke covered his body just as a generated Marra teleported back into her mindspace as she panted angrily.

"OKAY! I AM 100% DONE!" Angelica the Marra shouted furiously with bloodshot eyes as she saw her mysterious attacker slowly taking the form of a giant indominus rex and roared at her as Angelica was too pissed off to be scared and let out a loud battle cry as she flew over to Logan with her eyes glowing green as the shape-shifting Warlock/Mutant charges at her. "TAKE THIS, YOU-HUH?!" Angelica screamed before yelping in surprise as black/purple smoke covered Logan's body once more and proceeds to transform into an indoraptor as the Marra missed her mark and flew past Logan, who whirled around and stops in his tracks as he smirks at his confused foe.

"See you later, Marra. Hopefully, you will give me a good challenge next time." Logan says with a smirk before his body was covered with black/purple light as he slowly disappeared from sight.

"Huh?! What!? How?! Why-I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!" Angelica the Marra screamed while gripping her hair in confusion and anger as she gritted her teeth just as Hilda and Stitch's dreamselves appeared behind her as they floated in the air.

"Huh?" Hilda says confusedly before spotting Stitch as she smiled and went over to hug him. "Ha, ha, we did it, Stitch!" Hilda says with a laugh as Stitch smiled and hugged her back as Angelica hears this and whirls around to stare at them in disbelief/shock.

"What?! You two were able to conquer your deep fears!? That's impossible!" An angry Angelica the Marra shouted while flying over to push past Hilda and Stitch as she made her way over to her Nightmare Orbs, which were now glowing purple as the Marra scanned both orbs carefully and was able to see real evidence that Hilda and Stitch were able to conquer their fears as, thankfully, Logan thought ahead and erased any sign of his existence during the duo's Nightmare Sequence.

"Not impossible, possible. Stitch and I were able to conquer our fears, so you lost the bet, Angelica." Hilda says while whirling around to glare at the Marra as Stitch did the same with a nod.

"Ih, now you have to leave David alone." Stitch stated firmly as Angelica Marra didn't say anything but bit her lip in frustration and embarrassment that she wasn't able to beat a little girl and her weird alien pet as the Marra then turned to glare at them fiercely and pointed at them accusingly.

"No, no! This is not fair! I was distracted by this weird shape-shifting thing and wasn't able to keep progress on both of you! You and your mangy friend must've cheated or something! I demand a rematch!" Angelica ordered threateningly as the duo glared at her and rolled their eyes at her stubbornness to admit defeat before a mischievous idea popped into Stitch's head as he grinned and leans over to whisper into Hilda's ear as she raised an eyebrow at what he said, but then beamed as the blue-haired girl nodded eagerly and turned back to the pissed off Marra.

"Sure, we can have a rematch, but why don't we change up the bet a bit to make things interesting," Hilda says as Marra narrowed her eyes at the duo suspiciously and crossed her arms.

"Fine, what are the changes?" Angelica asked as Hilda and Stitch gave her sly smirks.

"...and after that, Stitch and I were able to win the Marra's challenge, and she disappeared after that. The rest is history." Hilda says to her Human and Alien Friends with a big smile on her face as we fast forward in time and see the gang hanging around the entrance of Hilda and Stitch's apartment as said duo and their friends were sitting on the steps of the building while Jumba and Pleakley stood to the side as Alfur was sitting on Pleakley's shoulder.

"Man, I still can't believe that you two were brave enough to face your fears created by the Nightmare Spirit for me. That really means a lot to me, guys. Thanks." David says gratefully with a smile as he and Hilda were wearing their normal clothes again due to Hilda going back to her apartment to switch clothes with him in the middle of the night after the whole Marra incident was over as the blue-haired girl had sent the tired boy walking back home with Jumba and Pleakley escorting David there, of course.

"You're welcome, David," Hilda says while smiling back at him as Stitch nods.

"No problem, David. Stitch and Hilda happy to help." Experiment 626 informed the brown-haired kid as David smiled back and nodded as a smug Plekaley stepped forwards.

"Well, I for one, had no doubts that you two were able to beat the Marra. Nobody is braver than you two." Pleakley says with a smirk as Jumba turns to give him a flat look and rolled his four eyes as both of them were wearing the Earth Disguises that they wore when Jumba and Pleakley were at the Library yesterday.

"Oh, really, One-Eyed Noddle? Then what was with the whole, 'Hilda and Stitch did what?! Oh, no! They're doomed! They will never be able to beat the Marra! What are we going to do?!',"

"Shut up!" Pleakley whispered-hissed to Jumba while elbowing him as the group shared a small laugh, but then Hilda and Stitch's laughter died down as they looked down in thought and sighed heavily as they shook their heads.

"Yeah, but to be honest...I'm not as brave as you all think I am."

"Stitch not brave as well," Stitch says sadly with him and Hilda lowering their heads somberly as Frida and the others blinked at this in shock as they turned to the duo with surprised/worried eyes.

"I-I'm embarrassed to say this, but David? You're not the only one who's scared of going on adventures...I get scared too...a lot, but I try to not let it show because Adventures are not supposed to be scared, you know? But after dealing with the Marra, I've come to learn that Adventurers, while brave, are human too and can feel fear."

"Ih, and Stitch and Hilda are sorry for giving David nightmares," Stitch says as Hilda nodded with a guilty look on her face.

"Yeah, we didn't mean for you to get nightmares, David. We just thought that if you went on enough adventures as I have that you would no longer be as scared of everything as well, but I can see now that not everyone will be able to face their fears this way as I have, so, from now on, Stitch and I won't force you to go into any more scary adventures. All of you." Hilda says to the group sincerely with Stitch nodding in agreement as Frida, David, Alfur, Jumba, and Pleakley were rather surprised by what she said as they turned to each other and shared a secret conversation that ended with them smiling lightly as they nodded and turned back to Hilda and Stitch.

"Well, Kiddos, Jumba can safely say for everyone that we don't mind going on these fun adventures of yours," Jumba says with the others mumbling in agreement as Hilda and Stitch blinks at this in shock/disbelief.

"Really?!/Toko?!" Hilda and Stitch exclaimed in unison as Frida nodded while rubbing the back of her neck.

"Yeah, life without you two was rather...dull, to be honest. Being with you two is really fun." Frida says with a beaming smile.

"Jumba concur. Besides, you and 626 seem to be a magnet for the supernatural, so the more Jumba is around you two, the more Jumba learns about the Magical Side of Trollberg, which I'm rather interested to observe and study carefully...it might even give me some new ideas to create a couple of new Experiments for evil." Jumba murmured the last part under his breath with an evil grin as he laughed, and everybody rolled their eyes at his antics as they knew that Jumba wasn't as evil as he was before.

"Plus, the Galactic Federation doesn't really have a detailed list on everything going on here on Earth as I initially believed, so I would love to continue going on you and the little monster's adventures...even if they scare me," Pleakley added in with a nervous laugh as Alfur nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, you two are way too fun to be around. I won't change our relationship for the world." Alfur says with a warm smile on his face as Hilda and Stitch were a bit gobsmacked that everyone wanted to continue going on their adventures as they felt a bit happy and relieved before wincing as they turned to David.

"W-What about you, David?" Hilda asked shyly/hopefully as David smiled at her softly and shrugged.

"Well, it's fine, I suppose. As long as you two agree to have us pull back when a situation gets too scary or dangerous, then I won't mind going on more adventures. Besides, if you two are willing to face your worst nightmares by an evil Nightmare Spirit, what kind of friend would I be if I leave you two hanging like that without having some backup?" David says with a little smile on his face as Hilda and Stitch smile brightly and walk over to hug him as David hugged them back before letting go of him as a more determined look appeared on his face.

"Also, I admittedly do feel a little bit braver each day whenever I hang out with you two, Hilda and Stitch, and that's why from this day forward, I promise to try and conquer all of my fears, starting with this!" David yelled while reaching out to take off Jumba's belt, causing his pants to fall down and show off his pink underwear with hearts as Hilda and the other snorted and laughed amusedly as an embarrassed Jumba struggles to cover himself. "Boom! No longer scared of belts!" David yelled with a smirk while strapping himself with Jumba's belt as Hilda and Frida smiled at his friend proudly as they applauded for him.

"Good job, David," Frida says while giving her friend a thumbs-up as David blushes lightly and smiled as he laughs sheepishly.

"T-Thanks," David says shyly as Hilda spotted this and looks in between her friends curiously as a sly smile appeared on her face.

"Oh, this is an interesting development." Hilda thought to herself with a giggle.

"Yay, David conquered his fears. I'm so proud of him, but David? Can you please give Jumba back his belt? My eye can't take any more of...well, that." Pleakley says while gesturing at a pantless Jumba as he covered his big eye with his hands.

"Ditto," Stitch mumbled while covering his eyes in disgust as Jumba rolled his eyes at this and scoffed.

"Oh, eat a blitznack, you two," Jumba says with a mildly annoyed glare on his face as a sheepish David nodded and took off the belt as he handed it back to the bald-headed disguised alien. "Anyway, there's something that Jumba doesn't understand. How did the Marra know what Little Blue Haired and Experiment 626 were scared off?" Jumba asked curiously.

"Oh, I asked her about that, and, apparently, the Rat King is friends with her and told Angelica about our fears...also, let's remember to NEVER reveal any personal secrets to the Rat King ever again." A glaring Hilda says while crossing her arms with a huff as everyone nodded and Frida then perked up as a look of horrified realization appeared on her face.

"Wait, guys, I just realized something. Sure, the Marra will most likely not deal with David or even Hilda and Stitch anymore, but what's stopping her from giving us nightmares?" Frida asked fearfully while gesturing at herself, Jumba, and Pleakley as a calm Hilda and Stitch raised their hands to calm her down.

"Don't worry, Frida. Stitch and Hilda got that covered." Stitch says as Hilda nodded with a reassuring smirk.

"Yeah, after Stitch and I were able to conquer our fears, the Marra started throwing a temper tantrum and accused us of cheating before challenging us to another bet. I was about decline when Stitch came up with an idea to not have the Marra bother us ever again."

"Stitch told the Marra that Joanna has been having very nice dreams lately and, while she was on her business trip yesterday, she will come back tomorrow and that got her attention, so Hilda and Meega made another bet with her that if she could scare Joanna, then she'll be able to continue scaring us anytime she wants," Stitch says with a sly smirk as Jumba, Pleakley, and Alfur's eyes widened at what he said and realized what was Stitch's plan as the small Elf blushed heavily while the alien duo couldn't help but snort in amusement as they shared a laugh while Frida and David looked confused.

"I don't get it. What's Stitch's plan?" David asked as Hilda shrugged.

"Not sure entirely what his plan was either, but Stitch assured me that it will have the Marra stop bothering us forever, and I believed him," Hilda says as Stitch nods while laughing mischievously as Frida and David raise an eyebrow but decide to not talk about the subject anymore as they were about to ask Hilda and Stitch what type of adventure they were doing today when suddenly a familiar voice rang out.

"Hello, hello, gang." Logan greeted while appearing out of nowhere with his adopted son as they walked towards the group.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Crane. What are you and Marcus doing here?" Hilda asked curiously as the rest of the group turned to greet them.

"Oh, nothing much. We just decided to check in on you all and ask how the whole Marra event played out." Marcus says casually.

"Yeah, I'm curious to see how the Marra felt when she realized that you two were able to face your fears. With a little bit of my help, of course." Logan says with a smirk as Hilda and Stitch's eyes widen at what he said in shock.

"Wait, so it really WAS your voice that we heard!? How were you able to help us with Angelica?!" A surprised Hilda asked with a stunned Stitch nodding slowly as Logan simply gave them a grin and a wink.

"That's a secret, but let's just say that I had a...magical help," Logan says mysteriously as Hilda and Stitch stared up at him in curiosity and awe as they were about to ask him to elaborate when suddenly-

"Logan? Logan, is that you?" A wide-eyed Joanna asked while appearing on the scene as Logan slowly turned to smirk at her.

"I'm sorry, if we met before, you've failed to make an impression, so I don't know who you are," Logan says playfully as Joanna gave him a deadpan look and glared at him slightly as Logan laughed before walking over to hug her. "Ha, ha, just kidding. It's good to see you again, Joanna. How's my favorite cousin doing?"

"Wait...COUSIN?!" A shocked Hilda, Stitch, Alfur, Frida, David, Jumba, and Pleakley asked as Joanna turned to smile at them and nodded.

"Yeah, guys, I would like you to meet my cousin Logan Crane. And this must be your adopted son Marcus that you told me about. It's nice to meet you." Joanna says to Marcus as he smirked at her and waved.

"Likewise," Marcus says as Hilda and the gang look in between him and Logan and Joanna with comical shocked expressions on their faces.

"Anyway, I'm sorry that I have to cut this reunion short, but my son and I have some duties to attend, so how about we meet each other again tomorrow to reconnect again?" Logan suggested as Joanna smiled softly and nodded.

"Sure, I don't mind, I have to do some work anyway. See you tomorrow, Loggy."

"You too, Jo Jo," Logan says as he and Joanna shared a complicated handshake which ended with Logan giving the older woman a small noogie as Joanna laughed softly and pushed him away as the Crane Men then turned around to walk away while the brown-haired woman began making her way into her Apartment Building.

"W-Wait a minute! Mom, wait! I have so many questions to ask you!" Hilda yelled as she and the others ran after Joanna as they made their way into the Apartment Building to bombard the young woman with numerous questions. Nearly twenty-four hours later, around five in the morning, we see a green-eyed Angelica the Marra floating around Hilda and Stitch's Apartment as she teleported herself into Joanna's Room and slowly flew over to the sleeping Hilda's Mother, who was resting on her bed with a peaceful look on her face as the Marra rubs her hands together with a sinister smile on her face.

"He, he, time to scare that Weird Girl's mother and show those punks whose Marra Game is still on top." A smirking Angelica the Marra says while hovering above a sleeping Joanna's body as she giggled silently and swiftly phased into her head as, after a moment of silence, a heavily disturbed Angelica phased out of Joanna's head. "Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew! Gross, gross, gross, gross! Oh, god! Oh, god! Oh, god!"

"Huh? W-What's going on?" A bewildered Joanna asked, waking up from the Marra's shouting, as she sat up and was surprised to see Angelica as she gasped in shock. "What the?! Who are you!?" Joanna asked nervously as Marra composed herself and looks down to glare at Hilda's Mother.

"You are sick, lady! Sick and disgusting! What you were fantasying about doing with your neighbor was-Ugh! Screw this! I'm out of here! I'm done dealing with this crazy ass family!" Angelica the Marra screamed while shivering in disgust and horror as she then transformed into spectral green energy and teleported away.

"...You know what? I'm too bloody tired for this. I'm just gonna go back to sleep." Joanna says deadpannedly while lowering herself back down onto her bed as she instantly fell asleep and started giggling to herself as Joanna started having lucid dreams with Roland...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what they are doing, huh?

"Hook, line, and sinker," A smirking Stitch says while standing outside of Joanna's room as he laughs to himself amusedly.

"Stitch? What are you doing up so late?" A tired Hilda asked while appearing in the hallway as she had briefly woken up to use the bathroom and was wearing her PJs, which consisted of her wearing a white shirt, long blue pants, and no shoes as Hilda also had her hair tied up into a low hanging ponytail.

"Nothing. Stitch is just making sure to tie up loose ends with the Marra."

"Oh, okay...I'm still shocked that I have Cousins that I didn't know about."

"Hilda-,"

"I know that Mum explained it to me already, but I still can't fathom this!" Hilda exclaimed while spreading her hands out in exasperation as she then lets out a yawn and decided to deal with this situation in the morning as Hilda turned around to walk into her room with Stitch following after her.
