16. Hilda and Stitch 2: The Movie-Part 3

Hey, guys! Welcome to the next chapter for Hilda and Stitch! I hope that you guys will enjoy the chapter! Anyway, before I begin, let me answer a Guest Viewer about Chapter 15 real quick since I can't PM him/her.

Here's my Answer for the Guest Reviewer:

Heh, thanks. I'm happy that you're happy with how I'm blending Lilo and Stitch 2 and Hilda together so far. Logan tried to stop them, but Hilda being Hilda, she's too stubborn for her own good, and Logan figured it was best to stay with them to protect them. Tontu was rude because Hilda woke him up from his sleep, so he was a bit grouchy. Tontu and Stitch will actually get along great by this point and forward since they have the same similarities and such. They just had a rough start in their relationship.

So, when Stitch got separated from the Gang, he went the opposite direction from where they went, and when Marra confronted him, left him in a nightmare state, and allowed a glitched-up Stitch to run off, Marra continued walking the opposite way where the Gang is since, obviously, she doesn't want them to know that it was her fault that Stitch's having the glitches early. Anyway, I'm so happy to hear how you like how the whole "Movie" plays out, and I hope this chapter will not only satisfy you but the other readers as well :)

That's about it...anyway, I don't own anything, except for my OCs, and the OCs Roland Trenton and Amun belong entirely to drakin6345, the OCs Logan, Astrid, and Ivy belong to 9655, and the OC Daemon belongs to Travis Moon/Messiah of authors.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

~{Hilda and Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch-Part 3}~

"What am I going to do now, Guys?" Hilda asked worriedly while pacing around in her and Stitch's Room at Nighttime as Logan was sitting on Stitch's Bed with Twig and Ivy sitting next to him as Alfur and Astrid were standing near the nightstand. "The Badge Ceremony is in two days, and, thanks to Stitch, I blew my last chance on earning a Sparrow Scout Badge. Mum is going to be so disappointed in me." A distraught and angry Hilda says while walking over to faceplant onto Stitch's Bed with a loud groan as Logan rubbed her back to comfort his cousin.

"I can fix that," Alfur says reassuringly as a hopeful Hilda sat up from the bed.

"Great! How?!"

"You both need to sign a Disappointed Deferral Agreement, and we can add additional clauses that address hidden resentments or blaming tendencies. It's very simple, really." Alfur stated with a smug grin as Hilda's smile dropped immediately, and proceeds to turn her head around to faceplant onto the bed with another groan as Twig and Ivy snuggled up to her to try and comfort the Twelve-Year-Old Girl.

"Uh, thanks, Alfur, but I'm not sure that would work for Humans," Logan stated with a sweatdrop as an annoyed Astrid smacked Alfur on the back of his head. "Anyway, Hilda, I know things may seem grim now, but I'm sure that everything will work out eventually."

"How? There's no way that I will be able to win a Badge at this point, and now my Mum will be so angry to find out that I haven't earned a single badge this year, and it's all thanks to Stitch." Hilda stated angrily with tears in her eyes as she briefly sat up from Stitch's bed to punch his pillow before dropping down onto it again as Logan opened up his mouth and was about to tell the truth but stopped as he remember what the others said and very reluctantly closed his mouth as Logan bite his tongue.

"Look, Hilda, after we went back home, I talked with Stitch, and he told me that he didn't know why he went bonkers in the Sparrow Scout Hall and truly feels sorry for what he did. Can you find it in your heart to forgive him?"

"Hmph, if he really feels bad about what he did, maybe Stitch would try to make up for it instead of just saying sorry. Actions are better than words, after all." Hilda says while lifting her head as she scoffed a bit and rolled her eyes as, unknown to the gang, Stitch can be seen spying on them through the cracked open door and heard what Hilda said as he pouted a bit guiltily...before a genius idea popped into his head as Stitch beamed and gained a serious look, determined to get his Goodness Level back up to 100% and become Hilda's friend again as he turned around to leave.

"Well, that's not totally wrong," Logan says with a frown, unable to deny what Hilda said as he was about to say something, but then the Gang flinched as they heard a loud roar ring out and quickly move over to stare out of Hilda's Window as it was pouring outside.

"Hmph, here we are, all cozy, and poor Tontu is out there in the rain with that thing," Hilda says with a worried frown, still depressed from being unable to win a badge for the Ceremony in a couple of days, but it doesn't mean her compassion for Tontu was missing.

"My guess is that thing is actually a Barghest."

"Yep, you're actually right in the money, Alfur," Logan says as Hilda nodded.

"Yeah...you know what? I feel bad for the poor thing. I think the reason why he's acting out is that he is lost and scared and most likely hungry."

"That maybe, Lassie, but remember, that monster still attacked you and the others in the camp. It's still a dangerous animal that could kill people." Astrid says while lying on Hilda's shoulder with Alfur as the Blue-Haired Girl frowned and remained quiet as, after wishing his Cousin goodnight, Logan left the room with Astrid and Ivy as they went back to their home and Hilda slept in her and Stitch's Room while the Alien Experiment decided to sleep on the couch since his Friend was possibly too angry to let him sleep with her.

"...So, why did you call up for this meeting, Stitch? And why does it have to be in my house?" A deadpan Frida asked with a raised eyebrow as we cue to the next morning and see Stitch hoisting an emergency meeting at Frida's House with said person currently sitting on her couch as David and Marcus sat beside Frida and Logan and Daemon sat on a couple of armrests near the couch as Stitch was standing in front of a big whiteboard and was holding a black pointer.

"Well, you see, as you know, yesterday Stitch went crazy and ruined Hilda's Chances of getting a badge," Stitch says while pointing at the whiteboard as it showed a crude, child-like drawing of a rampaging Stitch making a mess at the Sparrow Scout Hall with a scared Debbie cowering in fear while an angry Hilda can be seen glaring at her friend. "But Stitch didn't mean what meega did. It was an accident." Stitch said while twirling around the whiteboard as it showed another drawing of a confused yet guilty Stitch looking around across the rampage that he made and a pissed off Hilda can be seen leaving him as there was the image of a giant red broken heart in the center of the board. "So, Stitch needs your help to raise Stitch's Goodness Level and become friends with Hilda again," Stitch says while twirling the board again as it showed a drawing of Stitch proudly showing off his Goodness Level to Hilda, who smiled at him cheerfully and accepted his apology as it then shows another drawing of them walking hand-to-hand through a meadow filled with rainbows. "Can all of you help Stitch?"

"Hmmm, well, while I was a bit angry to hear what you did through Hilda, I can see that you clearly feel bad for what she did, so I will help you get your Goodness Level back," Frida says with a little smile as David nodded.

"Yeah, anything to have you and Hilda make up,"

"Indeed," Logan says with crossed arms and a sharp nod, feeling his heart break at the sight of the two usually close Best Friends suffering through a rough patch like that.

"While Madam is angry at you, I can tell she misses you, so I will be happy to fix you guys' friendship," Daemon says as a curious Marcus held up his arm.

"How are we going to get your Goodness Level back up anyway?" Marcus asked as Stitch grins slyly.

"Leave it up to meega. Stitch has a plan."

Now that operation 'Help Stitch get his Goodness Level back up to have Hilda no longer mad at him and they can make up and this really operation desperately needs a shorter name' has finally begun, the Gang had spent the whole day helping Stitch get his Goodness Level back by doing various things to help across the community of Trollberg. For instance, Stitch came up with an idea to help Old Ladies cross the street and was rewarded with a head pat or some hard candy as Daemon joined alongside him to help out the Alien Experiment as he had also reassured the Trollberg Safety Patrol that they weren't playing around in the streets and were helping out the Old Civilians of Trollberg...although, Daemon had to stop Stitch from almost kidnapping an Old Lady who was trying to buy her meds as the Demon Prince explained to him that they only help the Old People who WANT their help.

At the Trollberg Men's Barber Shop, Stitch can be seen sweeping the hair from the floor with the help of a broom as Marcus was helping him out on the whole ordeal, and the Manager of the Barber Shop supervises them while also shaving a Customer's beard due to his employees being too scared to come to work due to the Blackhound as Stitch noticed that the Costumer seemed to be bald and decided to help out by gathering up a bunch of hair from the floor as he reared back his head and spits onto the wig of brown hair. Before anyone could react, Stitch ran over to jump onto the Customer's lap and promptly dropped the spit-covered ball of hair onto his head with the Manager and Marcus looked horrified by this, thinking that the Customer was going to be angry about this...but, much to their shock, the Customer actually loved this since, thanks to Stitch's spit, it acted as a makeshift glue to keep all of the hair together, and it morphed into a rather glamourous looking brown wig as he thanked Stitch, who beamed at the praise as the Manager and Marcus looked surprised by this before smiling lightly as they congratulated Stitch.

At the Trollberg Public Pool, a bunch of gorgeous-looking Women can be seen sunbathing on their pool lawnchairs as Stitch and Frida showed up out of nowhere as the Alien Experiment and the Human Bookworm volunteered to help them apply their sunscreen, and the Ladies agreed as Experiment 626 zooms off and came back with a wagon filled with sunblock as he was about to empty all of it into a bucket and used a mop to cover the ladies with sunblock, but was stopped by Frida as she explained to him that's a very horrible idea and its best to do this the old fashion way. Pouting a bit, Stitch decided to reluctantly follow what Frida said, and the Duo spent the next few hours applying sunblock onto the ladies' bodies with Stitch popping out his alien appendages to apply sunblock faster when the ladies were lying on their stomachs and had their eyes closed.

Walking through the Trollberg Park, a surprised Stitch and David spotted a Baby Bird falling down from the nest as he crashed down into the ground and the Duo looked comically shocked and horrified by this before Experiment 626 reaches down to grab the Baby Bird as he then used his wall-crawling abilities to crawl up the tree. Reaching the Bird's Nest in no time, Stitch placed the Baby Bird inside his home and noticed that he seems a bit hungry, so after quickly climbing down the tree to dig out some worms from the ground, Stitch climbed back up the tree as he opened up his mouth, revealing the living worms inside as 626 began feeding the Baby Bird as how a real Mama Bird would do and David couldn't help but to go green faced at this in disgust as he made his way over to barf into the bushes.

Arriving at the Trollberg Beach with the sunset shinning behind them, Stitch and Logan looked around for any sign of help as they spotted a small family resting on the beach nearby with their 3-year-old Daughter currently constructing a small sandcastle as she hummed joyfully...but then frowned sadly as it broke apart and tears appeared in her eyes as she cried. Feeling their hearts go out to the Cute Little Girl, Logan made her way over to comfort the Little Girl while Stitch used a combination of his Super Intelligence, Strength, and Speed to construct a 30-feet-tall mansion-styled sand castle as Stitch made his way over to the Little Girl and gestured at the sand castle as she beamed at the sight of it and ran over to play in the sandcastle as Stitch and Logan shared a high five.

"And with this, your Goodness Level is back to 100%!" Logan yelled with a grin while coloring Stitch's Goodness Level as we see him and the others standing in front of Hilda and Stitch's Apartment Building.

"Yes!" Stitch exclaimed happily while jumping up to snatch his Goodness Level Drawing back as he hugs it close to his chest and gave his Friends a grateful look. "Thanks for helping Stitch out. Meega appreciate it."

"You're welcome, Stitch. Anything to help you and Hilda out." Frida says as she and the others wished Stitch good luck before walking away to their respective homes since it was getting dark out as Logan and Stitch made their way up the Apartment Building and was able to arrive at their Apartment Complex as they walked in, and Logan went off to talk with Joanna and Roland as Stitch walks into his and Hilda's Room while humming a cheerful tune under his voice as he looks up and spotted Hilda sulking up at her bed with a dark rain cloud hovering above her as the oblivious Alien Experiment climbed up the ladder to reach her bed.

"Hilda, look! Stitch good again!"

"Leave me alone, Stitch. I'm not in the mood to talk." Hilda says coldly while not facing him as Stitch was a bit surprised by this before composing himself as he grinned.

"But Hilda, look at this! It's proof that Stitch is good again! No more-,"

"I said leave me alone!" Hilda screamed angrily while sitting up from her bed as she snatched Stitch's Goodness Level Drawing and crumbled it up as she tossed it away, much to his shock as Hilda then laid back down on her bed and turned around to not face her Former Best Friend. "You ruined everything for me yesterday, and now I don't want you anywhere near me again! Just go away, you...you...fuzzball!" Hilda yelled, saying the first thing that popped into her head as Stitch's surprised demeanor was replaced with an angry one as he growled angrily and walked over to grab Hilda's shoulders as 626 forced the Blue-Haired Girl to face him.

"No, youga get out!"

"Who do you think you're talking to?!" A pissed Hilda asked while sitting up from her bed as she glared into Stitch's face. "This is my room, buster, and I order you to leave!"

"No! This is Stitch's room too! In fact, Stitch order youga to leave!"

"No, you leave!"

"Youga!"

"You!"

"Youga!"

"You!"

"Youga!"

"You!"

"Youga!"

"YOU!"

"YOUGA!"

"YOU!"

"YOUGA!"

"YOU!"

"YOUGA!"

"FINE!" Hilda suddenly screamed while throwing off her covers as she stood up from her bed and made her way over to the ladder as the Blue-Haired Girl gave the Alien Experiment a smug grin. "I will!" Hilda shouted while quickly climbing down from her bunk bed as Stitch was a bit confused by her weird action before figuring out what she was planning as he gasped.

"No, Stitch will!" Stitch yelled while jumping off from the Bunk Bed and landed on the floor as he spotted Hilda near the door.

"I'm leaving first!" Hilda shouted while lifting up her arm to try and grab the doorknob, only for Stitch to reach up to grab her pigtails and yanked her backwards rather harshly as he zoomed past her.

"No! Stitch leaves first!"

"No, I will!" Hilda screamed while recovering from the hard yank as she ran over to Stitch, who was about to open the door but was prevented by Hilda, as she was able to reach up and grab his ears as the Blue-Haired Girl pulled him back.

"No, Stitch will!"

"No, I will!"

"No, Stitch will!"

"No, I will!"

"NO, STITCH WILL!"

"NO, I WILL!"

"NO, STITCH WILL!"

"NO, I WILL!" Hilda exclaimed with Stitch and her shoving each other to try and open the door first as they glared into each other's faces.

"I'm really worried about Hilda." A frowning Joanna says while drinking some tea on the couch with Roland and Logan as she sighed heavily. "When Roland and I left this morning to help out Jumba with his Fusion Chamber, Hilda was still in bed, and when we came back home, she was still in bed."

"She hasn't said anything to us other than to not let Stitch inside of her room. Did they have a fight or something?" Roland asked concernedly as Logan nodded sheepishly.

"You can say that. I will explain what really happened later on, but don't worry, Stitch went into her room to talk with her, so I'm sure everything will work out just fine." Logan says reassuringly as Joanna and Roland sigh in relief...before flinching in surprise as they heard loud noises emitting from Hilda and Stitch's Room as the Adults stood up from the couch and made their way into the Hallway just as they spotted panting and haggard-looking Hilda being able to open the door as she lets out a loud victorious 'Ha!' before yelping in surprise as Stitch used his Superior Speed to blitz her and appeared outside of the room as he proceeds to promptly shut the door in her face.

"Hey! Open the door, you little Trog, or you'll be sorry!" A pissed-off Hilda screamed from inside her room while slamming her fists onto the door repeatedly as she was unable to open it due to Stitch keeping it close with his finger.

"Uh-uh, can't come out without saying the magic word." Stitch says tauntingly with Hilda growling angrily and began punching and kicking the door with more ferocity as a glaring Joanna walked over to him.

"Stitch, open the door right now," Joanna ordered as Stitch flinched nervously...before grinning mischievously as he stepped to the side and opened the door, which caused a surprised Hilda to fall forward as she crashed down into the ground.

"Ha, ha!" Stitch laughed tauntingly while pointing down at Hilda, whose face flushes in embarrassment as she stood up from the floor and lunged at him in anger, but Stitch was able to sidestep her as Hilda continued trying to attack him.

"What is the matter with you two?!" Roland asked in exasperation and concern with him and the others trying to stop the Kids from fighting, but then everyone paused as the door started knocking.

"Okay, both of you, stay right there, and don't move." Joanna ordered as Hilda and Stitch growled at each other angrily but didn't attack each other as Joanna gave the Boys a look that reads, 'Please, look after the kids while I answer the door', and they nodded as the Young Woman walked over to open the door and was surprised to see a glaring Marabell standing in front of her. "Oh, Marabell, what are you doing-,"

"Enough with the chit-chat, Joanna. I want to talk about what happened back at the camp."

"Uh huh," Joanna says while not paying attention due to hearing Hilda and Stitch argue inside.

"You see, when I came to pick up my Daughter a while ago from the End-Of-Year Weekend Camping Trip early, I couldn't help but notice that Eliza's face was covered with crude drawings, and it took DAYS to get that out because her face was written with permanent black sharpie ink, and, while Eliza has no proof of this, we both knew that your Daughter has to be responsible for-,"

"Okaygoodtotalkwithyoubye!" Joanna yelled hurriedly while slamming the door into the shocked Marabell's face as she then whirled around to run deeper into her apartment to see what's all the fuss was about...and deadpans as she spotted Stitch trying to get Hilda's attention, but the Blue-Haired Girl was ignoring him as she crossed her arms and turned away from him.

"Hey, look at Stitch! Stitch exists! Talk to Stitch!"

"Guys, do you hear something? Because I sure don't." Hilda stated casually while pretending to look down at her nails as Stitch growled and pulled on his ears in annoyance.

"Stop ignoring meega! Look at Stitch!" Stitch screamed while jumping up and down in his anger as Logan turned to his bewildered Cousin.

"Hilda decided to give Stitch the silent treatment to annoy him," Logan says as Joanna nodded in understatement just as Stitch was able to figure out how to have Hilda acknowledge his existence and that was walking in front of her and licking her face, causing Hilda to stumble back with a little yelp as she wiped away Stitch's drool from her face and grew furious as the Blue-Haired Girl tackled the Alien Experiment down onto the floor and began wrestling with him.

"Hey! Will you guys cut it out!?" Logan asked in exasperation and disbelief as a disapproving Joanna nodded.

"Yeah, this is crazy, guys! You two are Family! And Family don't fight with-Oof!" Joanna screamed before yelping in pain as she got caught in the crossfire and ended up accidentally getting kicked by Hilda after Stitch suplex her onto the ground as the Young Woman stumbled backwards and was about to fall but was thankfully caught by her Cousin as Roland grows angry at the sight of his Girlfriend getting hurt and walked over to separate Hilda and Stitch as he held them back with his arms.

"That is enough! Why are you two fighting in the first place?!" Roland asked with a glare as Hilda and Stitch scowled at each other.

"Because he ruins everything!"

"Not meega fault!"

"Stop lying!" Hilda screamed with a red face while being able to break out of Roland's hold as she leaped over to try and attack Stitch, but was caught by Roland in mid-air as this, unfortunately, caused him to let go of Stitch, who promptly leaped up to tackle both of them onto the ground as he and Hilda continued fighting while standing on top of a groaning Roland as a recovered Joanna saw this and decided to finally put her foot down as she walked over to them.

"That...is...it!" Joanna snapped while reaching over to grab Hilda and Stitch's ears, causing them to cease their fighting, and began yelping in pain in unison as Joanna started dragging them towards their room. "Go to your room and make up like loving friends!" Joanna ordered while walking over to open the door to Hilda and Stitch's Room and shoved the Duo inside.

"You're so annoying/Stupidhead!"

"Keep walking!" Joanna ordered again while pointing at their beds as Hilda and Stitch fumed but reluctantly made their way over to sit on Stitch's Bed while turning around to cross their arms angrily as Joanna huffs in irritation before shutting the door as Joanna then turned around to walk over to Logan for an explanation on what's going on.

"...Stitch, sorry," Stitch says, deciding to become the better man and apologize to Hilda after both of them had remained silent on his bed for about an hour or so as the Blue-Haired Girl's angry demeanor died down a bit, but not by much as she lowered her head.

"I thought you were good, Stitch. I needed you back there at the Sparrow Scout Hall. I was so close to finally earning a badge. You know how important this is for me to make everyone proud, including my Dad, and you ruined it. How can I trust you again after that?" Hilda asked with a somber tone and tears in her eyes as Stitch lowered his ears in sadness and looked down as he beamed at the sight of his crumbled-up Goodness Level Drawing and jumps down to grab it as 626 then whirled around to hold out the drawing.

"Stitch good again," Stitch says as Hilda turned her head and spotted the drawing as she was surprised to see that it was full. "Our friends helped meega be good. Stitch didn't cheat. Youga can call them to verify that Stitch not lying." Stitch says as Hilda stared into his eyes and could tell that he was telling the truth but was still feeling anger and sadness by his actions yesterday as Stitch saw this and walked over to place his hand on her shoulder. "Stitch also has idea to get badge. Tomorrow, weega go and talk with Raven Leader and convince her to allow you to perform by showing off youga paintings."

"...You really think that could work?" A hopeful Hilda asked as Stitch nodded viciously, and the Blue-Haired Girl briefly looked away to think for a few seconds before turning back to her Best Friend with a serious expression on her face. "Okay, if you promise to be good, I will give you one more chance."

"Oh, Stitch, will! Cross my heart and hope to die!" Stitch says while crossing the spot from where his Power Cell was located as, for the first time the whole day, Hilda was able to put on a sincere smile and beam.

"He, he, okay, set up all of the Art Supplies, and I will be back soon to paint. I have to use the bathroom real quick." Hilda says as Stitch nodded and watched as his Best Friend ran out of the room with a gleeful smile on his face, happy that the whole mess was cleared up as Stitch made over to Hilda's Drawer to pull out her art supplies.

"Stitch good. Good, good, good. Stitch good-Oh!" Stitch says while taking out Hilda's Art Supplies and placing them down on the ground before yelping in surprise as he nearly dropped a bottle of paint on top of Hilda's Troll Book. "That was a close one. Almost ruined Hilda's Favorite Book." Stitch says with a relieved smile, knowing that Hilda will be furious with him if he accidentally ruined the book that her Father had given her a long time ago, as 626 then bends down to grab the book and studied it a bit before shrugging as he was about to walk over and place it on the bookcase, but then stopped in his tracks as he felt something rumble deep inside of him and his Power Cell started vibrating while glowing green as his eyes turned green as well and Experiment 626 spazzed a bit as he growled threateningly and his grip on Hilda's book tightened as his claws popped out.

"Okay, so I was thinking of drawing..." Hilda says with a cheerful smile as she opened the door to her room and walked in as the Blue-Haired Girl trails off at the sight of her room covered in paint and ripped pages as Hilda slowly scans the area and spotted a groaning Stitch sitting up from the floor with his alien appendages out as he shakes his head and a horrified, shocked Hilda spotted the ripped cover of her favorite book in his mouth as she screamed, startling Stitch as he glanced up at her confusedly. "My Troll Book!" Hilda shouted while running over to rip the cover page out of Stitch's mouth and looked around as she was stunned to realize that all of the ripped pages belong to her Troll Book as tears appeared in Hilda's eyes. "Y-You...y-you...you destroyed it! It's all gone! You ate my book!" Hilda screamed accusingly while pointing at Stitch, who was able to come back to his senses as he realized what he did and gasped in shock as 626 gained a guilty look.

"H-Hilda, m-mega-,"

"Do you realize how important this book was to me?! My Dad gave it to me on my birthday! It's one of the few things that I have left with him, and it's gone forever! And it's your fault! How could you do that?!" Hilda screamed, looking the angriest that Stitch had ever seen her look as tears ran down her eyes.

"S-Stitch, sorry! Stitch didn't mean to do this! Something is wrong with Stitch!" Stitch yelled panickedly with tears running down his own eyes from what he did as a furious Hilda ran over to push him back with her face growing red in pure anger.

"I will tell you what's wrong! You are a Monster! And you will always be a Monster! I don't know why I ever thought that you had changed because you didn't! You will always be the same Destructive Monster that I've met back in the woods! I wish that you have never crashed down on my planet!" Hilda snapped, causing Stitch's ears to lower in sadness by what she said as he felt his heart break up into a billion tiny pieces.

"Hilda, please..."

"No, I don't want to hear it! I want you to get out of my room, my home, my life! Get out! Out!" Hilda screamed while pointing at the door angrily as Stitch sniffled a bit and glanced down silently before sadly walking out of the room as he took one last look at Hilda and then shut the door as he ran out of the Apartment, leaving Hilda behind as a part of her couldn't help but feel extremely guilty and sad by what she said, but another part of her refused to acknowledge that feeling and continued remaining angry at Stitch as Hilda glanced down at the destroyed Troll Book that her Father had given her and crashed down onto her knees as she placed her hands on her face and started sobbing a bit.

Two Hours Later, we cue back to the Trollberg Forest as we appear at Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship as we see Jumba making the finishing touches to the Fusion Chamber, which was hidden under a blanket as Pleakley and Kaisa can be seen pacing around while waiting for the Former Evil Genius to finish as, after two days of collecting the necessary equipment to use, Jumba was quick to use them to create the Fusion Chamber and had Kaisa create the necessary magical power source to power it up as the Bald-Headed Alien said that he will adjust the final adjustments before turning on the Fusion Chamber as Pleakley and Kaisa agreed to wait, but were getting a bit antsy as, thankfully, they were distracted by the doors as Logan walks into the room.

"Hey, there you guys are-Wait, where's Joanna and Roland?" Kaisa asked confusedly as Logan sighs heavily and shakes his head.

"They are dealing with Hilda. Something happened with her and Stitch. I will explain later." Logan says as Kaisa purses her lips but nods. "Anyway, how's it going with the Fusion Chamber?"

"Just done, Shapeshifting Man," Jumba says with a cocky smirk while coming out of the sheet as Pleakley and the others beam as they walked over to him. "Alright, prepare yourselves to see greatness itself! Tada!" Jumba screamed while taking off the white sheet to reveal the newly built Fusion Chamber as Pleakley, Kaisa, and Logan stared at it in shock/amazement. "Here it is, guys. The Fusion Chamber. The only thing that can save Experiment 626 and prevent Blue-Haired Girl from having a mental breakdown."

"Whoa, this is amazing, Jumba." Logan complimented with Kaisa nodding in agreement as Jumba snorted proudly and chuckled.

"Heh, just another work of genius."

"Ooh, ooh, can I switch it on, please?" Plealkley pleaded excitedly before pouting as Jumba shakes his head.

"Oh, no, no, no. This is an extremely delicate machine. It takes a superior mind to turn it on. Like so." Jumba says while walking over to his machine as he cracked his knuckles, and narrowed his eyes concentration as the Former Evil Genius proceeds to bluntly pull down a level, activating the Fusion Chamber as the others deadpan at how simple it is to turn on such a delicate, complicated piece of technology. "Now, thanks to me, crisis is over-Aaaaaah!" Jumba says before screaming in surprise as the Fusion Chamber suddenly blows up and caused a small explosion that nearly killed the group if Kaisa wasn't quick enough to put up a magical energy shield as she drops it once the smoke clears.

"Jumba! Jumba, what happened?!" Pleakley asked panickedly while turning to Jumba, who silently walked over to the destroyed Fusion Chamber and dropped down to his knees as he numbly picked up two pieces of metal.

"I-I guess that type of magical energy wasn't c-compatible with the F-Fusion Chamber after a-all," Kaisa says with an awkward laugh, trying to cheer up Jumba but failed as the Mad Genius stood up from the floor and tosses away the pieces of metal.

"That's it, guys. It's over." Jumba says solemnly, surprising everyone as they turned to him incredulously. "Jumba can't build the Fusion Chamber."

"What? Come on, Jumba, you can't give up that easily," Logan says with a worried frown as the others nodded.

"Yeah, Jumba, I know it maybe hard to build one with the materials here on Earth, but I'm sure that you can still build the Fusion Chamber. Just like you did before." Pleakley says reassuringly as Jumba flinched and trembled a bit before letting out a loud groan as he turned to the others.

"I didn't build the first one!" Jumba screamed, shocking everyone as their jaws dropped. "I ordered it...from catalog."

"From a catalog? Seriously?" Logan asked with a raised eyebrow, unable to believe that you can buy such an advanced and powerful piece of alien equipment from a catalog as Jumba nodded before lowering his head somberly as he turned around to walk towards his Supercomputer.

"And now, there's no hope for Jumba's Creation and Friend. Jumba has failed Family." Jumba says while falling down into his chair and placed his head in his arms as Logan, Pleakley, and Kaisa shared a look before nodding to themselves as they walked over to him.

"So you didn't build the first Fusion Chamber, so what? You still build Stitch, didn't you? Well, did you?" Pleakley asked as Jumba sniffled and raised his head as he turned to his friends.

"Well, yeah, but-,"

"And I bet that was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more complicated than building this Fusion Chamber, right?" Logan asked as Jumba scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Oh, like you don't believe! I spent literally centuries on perfecting 626 and-,"

"And yet, even with all of your past failures, you worked hard to perfect your creation, and viola! It worked! Stitch is one of the most powerful beings in the universe, and who does he have to thank for that?" Kaisa asked teasingly while elbowing Jumba a bit as he blushed bashfully.

"W-Well, I don't like to brag, but-,"

"See, Jumba? This is why you're literally the only person on this entire planet that can build the Fusion Chamber and save Stitch!" Pleakley exclaimed while throwing up his arms as Logan nodded.

"Indeed, you are the only one smart enough to build the Fusion Chamber, but remember, you are not alone in this. We will help you perfect the Fusion Chamber."

"Yeah, and I will search through every book in my library until I find the perfect magical power source to charge up the Fusion Chamber." A serious Kaisa says as Pleakley then reached over to place his hand on his shoulder.

"Please, just give it one more try, Jumba. Hilda and Stitch are counting on you." Pleakley pleaded as a stunned Jumba glanced towards his Supercomputer and spotted a framed picture of their whole family hanging out at a park with Stitch making a funny face and Hilda laughing so hard that tears leaked out of her eyes as Jumba's eyes watered a bit before he dried them away as the Former Evil Genius stood up from his desk and turned over to give the others a determined glare.

"Alright, guys, we only have 24 hours to rebuild the Fusion Chamber and save Hilda and Stitch, so we have no time to lose! Kaisa, Logan? You two go back to the Trollberg Library and search through every Magic Spellbook until you find the right magical power source to power up my rebuilt Fusion Chamber! I will send you the requirements and schematics of the Fusion Chamber once I recreate the blueprints!" Jumba ordered as the Lovebirds shared a serious nod before Kaisa teleported both herself and her Boyfriend away to the Trollberg Library with a flash of purple light. "Helper-X9!" Jumba screamed as his helper robot appeared out of nowhere and made his way over to appear in front of his creator. "You will help me and Pleakley rebuild the machine!" Jumba instructed as Helper-X9 nodded while saluting him.

"Pleakley? Hand me my wrench!" Jumba ordered as Pleakley beamed and nodded as he went over to take out Jumba's Wrench from his toolbox and handed it over to him. Meanwhile, back at the Apartment, we see a silently furious Hilda resting on her bed with her face shoved into her pillow as the door to her room opened, and Joanna popped her head in as she glanced up at Hilda and winced a bit, knowing that the Twelve-Year-Old Girl was still livid by her argument with Stitch earlier as, while she and Roland couldn't exactly hear what they were completely saying, the Young Adults knew that it was pretty bad since Stitch had run out of the Apartment in tears and didn't stop running when Joanna and Roland called out for him to stop as, after waiting for an hour or so to let Hilda cooldown, Joanna decided that it was finally time to confront the Blue-Haired Girl and find out what happened as Roland decided to wait by the door since this was a private moment between Mother and Daughter.

"Hey, Hilda," Joanna says awkwardly while climbing up the bunk bed to reach Hilda as she smiled at her weakly. "So, I wanted to ask-,"

"I don't want to talk about Stitch, so don't make me," Hilda says sharply while not looking at her as Joanna frowned softly.

"Okay, I won't talk about him. I just want to know how you're feeling." Joanna says soothingly while climbing up onto Hilda's bed as her Daughter groans and lifted up her head to glare at her Mother.

"You wanna know how I'm feeling? I'm angry because Stitch keeps ruining everything for me!"

"What do you mean?" Joanna asked curiously as Hilda opened her mouth to speak but then shuts up since she doesn't want to tell her Mom the whole truth, so she decided to fib a bit.

"I...I...I wanted to do something special for the Sparrow Scout Badge Ceremony since it's the first time I'm in one, and Raven Leader Debbie allowed me to perform for the ceremony a bit, but then Stitch ruined everything, and now I won't be able to perform at the Ceremony, and it's all his fault! And what's worse is that Stitch promised to be good and apologized for what he did, only for him to wreck things up again and have the nerve to say that it wasn't his fault! That there was something wrong with him! Can you believe that?!" Hilda ranted furiously/incredulously with Joanna flinching a bit and sharing a knowing look with a peeking Roland as they had a pretty good idea of what was going on with Stitch.

"Okay, Hilda, I understand your frustration, but baby, do you think this is the right thing to do? To be so mad at Stitch for something so trivial?" Joanna asked tentatively as Hilda stared at her in shock with her jaws dropped.

"I can't believe this! Are you seriously taking his side?!" A betrayed Hilda asked as Joanna firmly shakes her head.

"No, I'm not. I'm on the side of family, and Stitch is a part of that family, so what I'm trying to say is that maybe this performance isn't important enough to destroy your friendship with him." Joanna says as Hilda blushed angrily and clenched her fist.

"It is important! You don't understand! Just get out of my room! I want to be alone right now!" Hilda screamed as Joanna shakes her head.

"No, little missy, I gave you enough alone time as it is. I won't leave you until we talked about this."

"You're no help! I wish Dad was here!" Hilda screamed with tears building up in her eyes as Joanna flinched a bit and felt a pang in her heart as she took a deep breath and gave her Daughter a small glare.

"Don't you think I know that? Martin was always better at calming you and dealing with your emotional outbursts. He's not here, but I am, and I care about you, so I'm not leaving until we talk about this." Joanna says as Hilda growls before falling back down on her bed as she turned her back against her and lifted up the covers to hide her face as Joanna, being the good patient mother she was, merely decided to wait until she will come out and sure enough, after about 30 minutes of waiting, a shy and guilty Hilda poked her head out of her covers.

"I-I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't mean it." A pouting Hilda says as Joanna sighed knowingly and nodded.

"I know, Baby, come here," Joanna says while holding out her arms as Hilda got out of her covers and crawled over to sit in her lap as she laid her head on her chest, and Joanna rubbed her hair a bit to soothe her. "Hey, remember when you were six, and your Dad had a 'Lumberjack Phase'?" Joanna asked, not wanting to get right back into the conversation about Stitch until Hilda is willing to talk about it, so she decided to change the subject a bit, and it worked as she heard her Daughter giggle a bit.

"How could I forget? Daddy and I were hunting for Trolls in the Backyard when he saw you watching a commercial about Lumberjacks cutting up trees and got a bit jealous."

"Ha, ha, yeah, your Dad spent the next two weeks cutting up trees to try and impress me, but that ended up backfiring on him when he cut up a tree that had a family of Squirrels living inside of it."

"And all of the Squirrels started pelting him with so many acorns that the majority of them got stuck up Dad's nose and made him sneeze acorns for a whole month!" Joanna and Hilda screamed in unison while sharing a laugh from the hilarious memory as they sighed a bit.

"Dad was so silly like that," Hilda says with a laugh while brushing away her tears as Joanna nodded with a chuckle.

"Yeah, he was, but as much of a goofball he was, I know how much your Dad loved his family and would hate to see any one of us arguing with each other or getting into a fight," Joanna says, causing Hilda to flinch as she looked away nervously.

"This is about Stitch, huh?"

"Yeah, what happened to you two today? I have never seen you two argue, nonetheless, fight. Is this really about the performance?" Joanna asked as Hilda nodded lightly.

"Y-Yeah, it was. After you send us back to our Room, Stitch apologized for what he did but then wrecked something that I wanted to show in the performance, so I got so mad that I...I..."

"I what?"

"...I said that he will always be the Destructive Monster that I met a year ago and that I wished that he had never crashed down on our planet and then kicked him out of my room," Hilda says semi-guiltily as Joanna and even a hidden Roland gasped sharply at what she said.

"Oh, Hilda, how could you say that to him?" A stern Joanna asked as Hilda glanced up at her sadly.

"I-I'm sorry, Mum, I-I was just so angry that-,"

"That is no excuse, Young Lady. That's something you should never tell a Family Member. What you said to Stitch would've been like if you had decided to disown me as your Mother. Martin would be so disappointed in you." Joanna says before regretting what she said as Hilda teared up and lowered her head with her shoulders shaking a bit as she was about to say something, but then-

"I think what your Mother is trying to say is that while what you said was uncalled for, it could be fixed with you apologizing to Stitch. It's what your Dad would want." Roland says while walking into the room and climbing up the stairs as a surprised Hilda turned to him while drying away her tears.

"R-Really?"

"Yes, sweetheart, even in Families, arguments are bound to happen, and you're allowed to feel what you're feeling, but remember to not let your emotions cloud your judgment. You have known Stitch for a full year now, and you know how much he cares about you, right?" Roland asked as Hilda sniffled and nodded.

"W-Well, maybe, but-,"

"And you know that Stitch suffers from relapse here and there due to reannouncing his Evil Programming?"

"Y-Yeah, although-,"

"And Stitch feels bad for what he did, right?"

"Yes, but-,"

"Well, there you go. You have to remember, Hilda, that while Stitch has the brain of a supercomputer, he is still mentally a child like you and is only been alive for a year now, so Stitch tends to make mistakes here and there, but the one thing you can always count on is his love for you." Roland says as Joanna nodded before turning to him.

"I know this is asking a lot, Hilda, but can you find it in your heart to forgive Stitch for his actions and try to see things from his perspective?" Joanna asked as Hilda stayed quiet for a bit before sighing heavily as she nodded.

"Alright, the next time I see him, I...promise to try and forgive him," Hilda says sincerely as Joanna smiled and leaned over to kiss her forehead.

"Good girl. Now, get some sleep. You will need it for tomorrow." Joanna says as Hilda nodded.

"Also, Hilda, I know that I'm not your Father or anything, but if it means anything, I'm proud of you, kiddo," Roland says with a warm smile as Hilda smiled back, feeling happy about what he said as she nodded.

"Thanks, Mr. Trenton."

"Hey, come on now, I've been dating your Mum for a while now. I think we're past the formalities. I think that you can call me Roland...if you want, of course." Roland says, not bothering her by trying to get Hilda to call him Dad since they were not ready for that part in their relationship yet.

"O-Okay, Roland," Hilda says, feeling a bit awkward about calling her Mum's Boyfriend by his first name, as Roland nodded before climbing down the ladder with Joanna following after him as they left the room, leaving Hilda alone with her thoughts as she turned around to glance out her window and sighs lightly as she wondered where Stitch was.

Speaking off, we see Experiment 626 residing deep in the Trollberg Woods while hugging himself sadly, not caring if the Blackhound could come and attack him as Hilda's words rang out in his mind and Jumba's Greatest Creation couldn't help but tear up and lay down on the ground while covering his face with his arms as he moaned, not noticing that Angelica the Marra was lying on top of a branch casually as she glanced down at him with her eyes glowing green as her body then broke apart into spectral green energy and flew down to phase into Stitch's mind, causing him to groan a bit as he raised his head and looked around confusedly as his eyes briefly glowed green.

"Yougga vov, heke's wuka. Yougga lava havi ta llatuk (You know, she's right. You haven't changed at all),"

"Huh?!" An alarmed Stitch asked while standing up from the floor as he heard his own voice come out from an unknown source and looked around as Stitch then gasped when he spotted his reflection in a nearby puddle and crawled over to it as 626 saw that his reflection resemble himself, except with his alien appendages out as he was wearing his Spacesuit and had an evil look on his face. "Gala aka yougga!? (Who are you!?),"

"Okua mala, yougga baka. Meega yoouga, het votu yougga. Het vakatuk hath yougga ytry nad lailf ot kupa teriop (Isn't obvious, you idiot? I'm you, the true you. The Monster that you try and fail to keep inside.),"

"N-Naga, meega hovu maka! Meega vid! (N-No, I have changed! I did!),"

"Ho, hey? Neht waka od yougga kapu malatekti pe wiki Hilda? (Oh, yeah? Then why do you keep messing up with Hilda?)," Evil Stitch asked rhetorically with Stitch flinching and looking away guiltily as his ears lowered. " Meega llwo mit, yougga wiki viti lasa ot rikut younger popo repokoro lla yuggu, tub yougga caka kupu meke vat fokuro. Slapa ro metku, yougga fat wiki maka tata, nad sis jukio, yougga wiki huriki mata yougga vove ala yougga (I will admit, you were pretty strong to resist your evil instincts all year, but you can't keep them down forever. Sooner or later, you will slip again, and this time, you will hurt everyone you love around you),"

"N-Naga, meega woka! Baka toku! (N-No, I won't! Shut up!)," Stich screamed while shedding tears as he closed his eyes and tugged on his ears as, unknown to him, Evil Stitch rippled a bit before morphing into a smirking Angelica as the Marra flew out of the water and floated around Stitch as green mist emitted from her body.

"Just face it, you freak. You never changed. You were just repressing your evil programming, but sooner or later, you will realize your mistake and unleash the monster inside of you and hurt everyone around you. That's your purpose in life, after all. To destroy everything in sight. You will never be loved, never have a true family, you will be alone for the rest of your life, destroying everything in sight without a care in the world, and the sad thing about that is that you secretly want that, don't you? You want to break free of the shackles that Hilda brat had placed upon you and want to unleash your full potential onto the world. Why hold yourself back? Just let go..."

"BAKA TOKU! (SHUT UP!)," Stitch screamed in anguish and anger while raising his fist as he threw a punch at the source of the familiar yet annoying voice, only to hear what seems to be a pained scream as Stitch slowly opened his eyes and gasped in horror as he realized that he had accidentally punched a bunny's head clean off its body and its lifeless body crashed down into the ground as a panting Stitch scurried back and placed his hands over his face in shame and horror as Jumba's Greatest Creation was a bit disgusted to feel something deep inside of him being exhilarated to perform his first kill and Experiment 626 lowered his head as he started sobbing in misery and despair, not noticing that Angelica the Marra was floating above him as she grinned at what she sees.

"Almost there, almost there. Just needs one more push." Angelica thought to herself with a sinister chuckle before her body broke apart into spectral green energy as she flew off.

---

"You're sure it's okay to ride with your Cousin?" Joanna asked her Daughter worriedly as we cue to the next day and see Hilda sitting at the dining room table, eating some lunch as Joanna was currently getting ready to leave for work.

"Mum, I'm sure," Hilda says reassuringly while wearing her Sparrow Scout Uniform as Joanna nods.

"Well, okay, then, Logan should be here in five minutes to pick you up and take you to the Sparrow Scout Badge Ceremony. I have a client meeting right now, but once I'm done, I will go straight to the Sparrow Scout Hall."

"Okay, but what about the others?" Hilda asked curiously as Joanna flinched and looked around nervously.

"Errrr, um, Roland and Kaisa are at work, and Jumba and Pleakley are back at the Ship and still working on their project, but they promised that they will be at the Badge Ceremony when they are done." Joanna lied as Roland and Kaisa were at Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship and were helping the aliens rebuild the Fusion Chamber that blew up yesterday.

"Oh, okay, then," Hilda says with a shrug before going back to her lunch as Joanna rubbed her hair and was about to leave but stopped as she noticed that a certain someone was missing.

"Hey, where's Stitch? I haven't seen him since yesterday."

"Don't know, somewhere, I guess," Hilda says carelessly while shrugging as Joanna frowned a bit but didn't say anything as she turned around to leave the apartment. Thirty minutes later, after finishing her lunch and being picked up by her cousin, we see Hilda sitting in the passenger seat of Logan's car with the former riding around in the driver's seat as the Duo was driving through the city of Trollberg, heading straight towards the Sparrow Scout Hall with Hilda not looking forward to it for obvious reasons, but still wanted to give one more try at convincing Raven Leader Debbie to give her a second chance at earning a new badge before fully giving up and telling her Mum the truth as Logan noticed his Cousin's demeanor and decided to talk with her for a bit.

"Hey, Hilda, want to hear a story from my past in one of my battles?" Logan asked, causing Hilda to get out of her depressed state, and the Blue-Haired Girl turned to smile at him excitedly as she nodded. "Alright, so a decade ago, there I was on a battlefield...I was going on a mission with my team to ambush a squad who had killed a lot of innocent people. They were our enemies, and we were planning to have them pay for their crimes...but we never did it. There were fifteen of us. All proud men willing to protect our great city of Trollberg, but one of us betrayed the group. It was a setup... for money! Twelve people died, and only three escaped! I know the traitor was not me, so for ten years, I've been searching for the other two. One of them lives here."

"Whoa, heavy." A surprised Hilda says with wide eyes as she had her jaw drop. "Why did you decide to tell me this?" Hilda asked as Logan briefly eyed her with a serious glare on his face.

"Because I want you to know that I know how it feels to be betrayed by those closest to you. For a long time, I thought the one that survived and lived in this city was the traitor, but recently, he was able to save me from death by nearly sacrificing himself. That showed me that true friends would never betray you. The same thing could apply to Stitch." Logan says, causing Hilda to frown emotionlessly and looked out the window as Logan sighed and stopped the car due to there being a red light. "Look, Hilda, I understand why you are upset with Stitch. He ruined your chances with getting the Sparrow Scout Badge, and judging by what Joanna and Roland told me, he also destroyed your art supplies. I don't know what's going on with Stitch, but one thing I know for certain is that he does care about you, and I'm sure there's a reason for his actions, which you will hopefully find out soon."

"Although, I will say this, you don't have to win a badge to earn the love of your late Father. Trust me, I know. I have met the Guy several times, and in one of the meetings, Joanna and Roland decided to introduce you to me when your Mother was around Six Months Pregnant with you, I believe." Logan says with an amused smile as Hilda didn't turn to him, but was curious to hear how that meeting ended up as she made sure to listen to him. "Your Parents were around 19 or 20 years old, I don't quite remember, but I remembered how much love and happiness your Father had at the thought of having you, excited at being able to birth something that he and your Mother created. He wanted to teach you all kinds of things like how to read, write, drive, you name it, and you know something else? When I asked him if he would love his Baby if it was a boy or a girl, Martin says that of course he would. He would love his child no matter what."

"That's how I know that Martin wouldn't care if you ended up with no badges throughout the year because he would be proud of how much you have grown up. Just being yourself would make him extremely happy." Logan says with Hilda's eyes widened in shock at what she said and teared up a bit as she dried away her tears and stare up at the sky with a warm smile on her face, her love for her father growing even more as a feeling of guilt swell up in her chest and glanced away as Hilda remembered about what she said to Stitch and her Mother Words as she started thinking deeply before getting distracted by something as the Blue-Haired Girl gasped.

"Wait, Logan, stop, look!" Hilda yelled while pointing ahead as Logan looked to where she was pointing, and the Cousins spotted a yellow duck swimming around a pond as well as a yellow house as the Duo shared a look and nodded, recognizing this description from how Tontu talked about his Former House as Logan was quick to drive the car over to park in front of the house and then he and Hilda got out of the vehicle as they ran over to the house and knocked on the door as, after a few seconds of waiting, a silver-gray haired woman opened the door.

"Oh, sorry, I already gave my donations to some Sparrow Scouts three days ago." The Woman says with an awkward smile as Hilda was confused by what she said at first before remembering that she was wearing her Sparrow Scout Uniform and promptly shakes her head.

"Oh, no, it's not that. You see, my Cousin and I were just passing along, and we were wondering if any Nisse ever lived here?" Hilda asked as the Woman nodded.

"Well, of course, dear, but not anymore, though."

"Would it be okay with you if we ask why, Miss?" Logan asked politely as the Woman nodded and then put on a scowl as she crossed her arms.

"Well, if you two must know, I've caught him stealing."

"Stealing?" Hilda asked in disbelief while sharing an inquisitive look with her Cousin as they then glanced back at the Woman. "I'm sorry to say this, Miss, but are you sure your right about that? Do you think you could have possibly been mistaken?" Hilda asked as the Woman shakes her head with a glare.

"Oh, no, I am not. Trust me. Look, this is how it happened. I was sleeping in my bed one night, and I was woken up by the most dreadful racket like someone was smashing up my kitchen. I came down to see what was going on, and there he was. The Nisse had ransacked the whole place, probably looking for something to steal. He must've gotten bored with all of the things he had swiped over the years because that was everywhere too. That's why I said I had so much junk for your jumble sale-I mean, donations." The Woman says with a nervous smile as Hilda and Logan briefly gave her flat looks for what she said in the end before putting on polite smiles as they nodded.

"Thank you very much for answering our questions, ma'am. Have a good day. Come on, Hilda." Logan says while reaching down to grab Hilda's hand as he leads them out of the porch and started making their way back to the street as the Woman waved them off before shutting the door closed.

"You think that Tontu really did all that?" Hilda asked her Cousin worriedly as he hummed thoughtfully.

"I don't know, I mean, yeah, there's a bunch of evidence against him, but he doesn't seem like the shady type." Logan says as Hilda hums and nodded just as she and her Cousin reached the car as they were about to get in but then stopped as they saw a trash can shaking a bit and Hilda, being the curious child that she is, goes over to investigate as she opened the lid and beamed excitedly as she spotted Tontu inside, reading a book.

"Tontu!"

"Oh, hello there, you two." Tontu greeted as Logan went over to peek inside the garbage can and was surprised to see him inside.

"Why are you in a trash can?"

"Reading," Tontu answered bluntly as Hilda stared down at him with a relieved smile.

"So you are fine. I've been so worried." Hilda says in relief...before frowning as Tontu promptly went back to reading his book, ignoring her as she glared at this angrily. "Oh, you don't even care," Hilda says with an annoyed huff while stalking over to the car and sitting in the back as Tontu saw this and felt a little bit bad for blowing off the Kid as he got out of the trash can.

"Hey, you mind giving me a lift to where you guys are going?" Tontu asked Logan, who nodded as they went over to the car with Logan sitting in the driver's seat and Tontu sitting in the back with Hilda, much to the Blue-Haired Girl's annoyance as the Shape-Shifting Mutant started up the car, and the Trio began driving towards the Sparrow Scout Hall. "You know, I can't believe you two are brave enough to go out with that monster on the loose."

"It's not a monster. It's a Barghest." Hilda corrected sharply as Tontu shrugged while mumbling 'Same thing' under his breath. "We're out here because Logan is driving me to my Sparrow Scout Badge Ceremony, so that I can try and convince Raven Leader Debbie to give me one more chance to get a badge," Hilda says as Tontu gave her a confused look. "I wasn't able to earn a badge all year, and I couldn't bring myself to tell my Mum and the rest of my family that, so my Friends and I tried to come up with a plan to help me win at least one badge this year, but that plan backfired thanks to Stitch and you," Hilda explained with a glare as Tontu raised an eyebrow at her.

"Okay, first off, why would you lie about something like that?"

"Why lie about why you were kicked out? That nice lady said that you thrashed her house." Hilda says defensively as Tontu was unfazed by what she said.

"She's lying. I'm completely innocent."

"I know you're capable of it. Every Nisse says the same thing."

"But they're all probably lying," Tontu says knowingly as Hilda scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Second, why, pray tell, is your whole situation our fault again?"

"Because Stitch ruined my chances of gaining another badge, and I wasted my time in collecting another badge because I was too worried looking for you," Hilda says with a glare as Tontu gave her a very flat look.

"And who told you that you had to look for me? I didn't force you to come and find me. You choose to do that all on your own."

"Because it was the right thing to do! Ugh, seriously, I've spent so much time looking for you and worrying about you because I felt like I ought to help you, but right now, I don't know if I should've bothered, and you're not even grateful that I did!" An angry Hilda screamed while placing her hands over her face with an irritated groan as Tontu stared at her with a seemingly emotionless look.

"Who said I wasn't grateful? In fact, I'm quite frankly honored that you care about me so much, even though I'm practically a stranger to you." Tontu says earnestly, surprising Hilda as she turned to him. "What I'm trying to say, Kid, is that you're sending your anger and frustrations out to the wrong people. So, I don't know what your furry blue friend did, but if he really did ruin your chances of getting a badge, he won't be the only one that did that.

"What do you mean by that?" Hilda asked in bewilderment as Tontu raised his hand.

"Okay, so keep in mind that I'm not insulting you or making fun of you with what I said. It's just honestly my opinion of the situation, so don't take it too seriously. I know you're a good kid deep down." Tontu says as Hilda narrowed her eyes but nodded as she crossed her arms. "Alright, so let's start. Now, my knowledge of Sparrow Scouts is quite limited, but you had a whole year to collect a Sparrow Scout Badge, right?" Tontu asked curiously as she nodded. "And did you work hard all year to collect a badge?" Tontu asked as Hilda opened up her mouth...and froze a bit as she realized that while she did try to get a badge all year, Hilda didn't really try her hardest and spent a lot of her time either goofing off with Stitch and the others or waste her time on supernatural stuff as Hilda blushed in embarrassment and looked away.

"I knew it. It's exactly as I thought. You didn't work hard to collect a Sparrow Scout Badge all year, and now you are mad at your friend and me simply because of your irresponsible actions." Tontu says, causing a stunned Hilda to stare at him with her jaw dropped in disbelief as, while the Nisse's words were harsh, Logan couldn't help but agree with what he said. If Hilda had put a little more effort into collecting badges as she does with her adventures, then they wouldn't be having this problem right now.

"Well...uh...that maybe true, but..." Hilda says before trailing off as she had no real way to defend herself from the accusations since it was all true and started feeling sad as Logan spots this and decides to try and cheer her up.

"But, hey, it's a good thing that you're trying to take responsibility for your actions and fix your mistakes, right? I mean, with the whole trying to get a badge thing before the ceremony and all." Logan says, cheering up Hilda a bit as her Cousin then puts on a serious look. "And, hopefully, talk with Stitch so that you two can sort out your problems and become friends again, right?" Logan asked as Hilda bit her lip thoughtfully and looked away...before sighing heavily as she nodded.

"Yeah, don't worry, I will talk to Stitch about it. I promise." Hilda says sincerely, which caused Logan to sigh in relief as he was happy that she and Stitch will make amends soon since it was starting to be really hard for him to keep Stitch's Glitches a secret from her by this point.

"Hey, uh, I want to say sorry if I made you feel bad. It wasn't my intention." An apologetic Tontu says as Hilda turned to flash him a reassuring smile.

"It's okay. I understand that you were just trying to help. Besides, what you said isn't a total lie. I was a bit lazy and irresponsible with being a Sparrow Scout, unlike my friends, but like Logan said, I will take responsibility for my actions and fix my mistakes, which includes you. Don't think that I will stop helping you find a new home." Hilda says with a wink, shocking Tontu a bit as he smiled and nodded just as the Trio arrived at the Sparrow Scout Hall as they parked near the back and got out of the vehicle as Hilda and Logan were quick to hide Tontu from prying eyes. "Okay, I have to go into the Hall and talk with Raven Leader Debbie. Why don't you go and check this place out?"

"Here? Really?" An unconvinced Tontu asked as Logan shrugged.

"Yeah, I mean, why not? Sure, it's a bit unorthodox, but the Sparrow Scout Hall should have a lot of Nowhere Space, and there will definitely be no Nisse living in here."

"Plus, if you don't like this place, then meet me afterwards, and we will find another place to stay," Hilda says as Tontu hums but nodded and watched on as the Cousins ran into the hall as the Nissse glanced up at the building curiously before getting down on all fours as he made his way over to the steps leading inside of the building and saw an opening as Tontu proceeds to warp himself into the Sparrow Scout Hall Nowhere Space, not knowing that Stitch can be seen spying on the group from afar as he hummed nervously and glanced down before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath as Experiment 626 got down on all fours and started to sneak his way into the Sparrow Scout Hall from the back.

"Raven Leader Debbie?" Hilda asked nervously while walking over to the stage with Logan going over to sit down near the other Parents and Family Members as the Blue-Haired Girl pulled back the curtains and beamed at the sight of Debbie standing in front of her, talking with various Sparrow Scouts about the ceremony as the Raven Leader spotted her and was quick to walk over to Hilda to drag her to a more secluded area to talk privately.

"Hilda, what are you doing here? You haven't earned a badge, and I told you that-,"

"Yes, yes, I know, but hear me out. I'm really sorry for what my Dog did. He didn't mean to go rabid. Someone gave my Dog coffee, and that's what made him spazz out, but I promise you that there won't be any disastrous events like that again." Hilda promised as Debbie frowned and looked away, not knowing whether or not to let Hilda participate as the Blue-Haired Girl gave her a pleading look while clasping her hands together. "Please, Raven Leader, this is my only chance to win a badge."

"Well...okay, fine, I will allow you to perform, but you mustn't let Stitch be here at any cost." A stern Debbie says with Hilda beaming excitedly as she hugged her.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Trust me, you won't regret this, and don't worry about Stitch. He won't be here." Hilda says as Debbie smiled a bit and nodded before turning around to walk away. "In fact, I haven't seen him all day," Hilda added in with Debbie nodding at what she said before walking out backstage as the Young Adventurer realized what she said and looks down concernedly, wondering where Stitch was, but after Arab Girl told everyone to get ready for the ceremony, it caused a panicking Hilda to run off towards the Supply Closet to get some Art Supplies.

"I am so excited about this." A smiling Joanna says to Roland as we cue to the main room in the Sparrow Scout Hall and see a huge audience sitting in front of the stage with the Lovebirds sitting in the front row as Logan sat near them.

"Same," Roland says with a smile just as Kaisa and Marcus appeared as they walked over to sit beside Logan.

"Did we miss the ceremony?" Kaisa asked worriedly as Joanna shakes her head.

"Don't worry, you're just in time," Joanna says before leaning in to whisper into her ear. "So, what's the situation with the Fusion Chamber?"

"Jumba and Pleakley stayed up all night to fix up the Fusion Chamber, and Logan and I spent a long time finding the new magical source for the machine, and we were able to find one that seemed to be compatible, but we're not sure yet. Jumba and Pleakley will test out the machine once they finish rebuilding it. After the ceremony, we will take everyone back to Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship to heal up Stitch. If the machine doesn't work, then...we will tell the Kids the grim news." Kaisa says somberly as Joanna nodded with a sad frown, hoping that Jumba and Pleakley will be able to rebuild and fix the machine in time as an oblivious Marcus looked around in excitement.

"Man, I thought the Sparrow Scouts are lame, but this is pretty cool. I definitely have to join next year."

"Same," Daemon says while sitting beside Joanna with Nero sitting on his shoulder as they all turned to him in surprise.

"What the-When and how did you get here?!" A surprised Joanna asked as Daemon turned to wink at her.

"Just now, and I have my ways," Daemon says with his eyes glowing purple as, before they could ask what he means by that, Debbie stepped out of the curtains and appeared on the stage to talk with the Audience.

"Hello, Parents, Guardians, and Family Members! Now, after the ceremony ends, I would like to say that we will have a last-minute entertainment for all of you by one of our very own Sparrow Scouts named Hilda, who will create a beautiful painting for you and earn a new Sparrow Scout Badge for it! She should be done setting everything up once we finish with the ceremony, so stay tuned!" Debbie yelled before turning around to go to backstage to prepare all of the Sparrow Scouts for the ceremony as all of the people in the crowd started mumbling to each other curiously and excitedly.

"Oh, this must be the activity that Hilda was talking about yesterday. Oh, no wonder she got angry at Stitch. She wanted to do something special for the ceremony." A sympathetic Joanna says as Logan turned to her.

"Yeah, but don't worry, Cus. I talked to Hilda about it, and she says that she will make amends with Stitch, so hopefully, this will all work out." Logan says as Joanna sighs in relief and nodded as they then waited for the ceremony to begin.

"Okay, that should do it," Jumba says while wiping away the sweat from his forehead as we cue back to Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship and see the Dynamic Duo finally rebuilding the Fusion Chamber as they were also able to fix up the glitch that it had yesterday while also installing a new magical power source thanks to Kaisa and Logan this morning.

"Yeah, now all that is left is to turn it on," Pleakley says as Jumba nodded while reaching over to pull on the lever but hesitated a bit as he gave his friend a nervous look.

"W-What if it doesn't work?"

"It will."

"And if it doesn't?"

"Then we will deal with the problem together as a family," Pleakley stated firmly yet reassuringly as Jumba nodded quietly while taking a deep breath as he reached over to grab the lever and was about to pull it, but then the Duo flinched in surprise and worry as the alarms around them started blaring loudly and flashing red as Jumba and Pleakley glanced up at the computer screen, and gasps in shock and horror as they saw that the screen changed and showed a green screen with the image of a Blue Chibi Experiment 626 placed beside another image of his Power Cell, and the majority of it was already turned white, signaling that 95% of Stitch's Power Cell was drained as a stunned Jumba's face went pale at this. "W-What's happening?!"

"626's circuits are about to blow soon! We only have an hour left before 626 explodes! We have to get him into the Fusion Chamber now!" Jumba screamed urgently as Pleakley whimpered concernedly.

"But shouldn't we test the Fusion Chamber first!"

"There's no time! We need to go to Trollberg now!" Jumba ordered as Pleakley nodded shakily, and the Duo went over to find the remote that will teleport them back to their Apartment in Trollberg, not knowing that Jumba had accidentally left the keys to his ship on the dashboard of his supercomputer. Meanwhile, elsewhere, we cue back with Tontu as we see him walking through the Nowhere Space located in the Sparrow Scout Hall as he looks around and hums curiously, noting that this place could be a great home for him, but then stopped at his tracks as Tontu spotted a familiar, growling beast standing in front of him while glaring at him with his glowing white eyes as the Nisse gulped nervously and mumbled 'Uh oh', under his breath.

"...Up next, Frida." A smiling Debbie says as we cue back to the Sparrow Scout Hall and see all of the Sparrow Scouts sitting on the stage as they were all receiving their Sparrow Scout Badges and a smirking Frida stood up from her chair as she made her way over to her Raven Leader. "You have achieved your Level Three Helpful and Friendly Badge. Along with your Fundraising Badge, First Aid, Stone Work, and Young Entrepreneur Badges. I think we can all agree that's very impressive." Debbie says with a smile as Frida beamed proudly and waved at her Parents when they cheered for her as she was quick to grab her badges before turning around to sit back on her chair with Eliza staring at her enviously as Frida sticks out her tongue at her.

"Next: David for his Fundraising and Cycling Badges." Debbie says as David smiled and stood up from his chair as he walked over to his Raven Leader. "Oh, and also his Friend to Insects Badge...there's a bug on your head," Debbie says while leaning in to whisper into David's ear as he spotted the bug and brushed it away sheepishly as he grabbed the badges and turned around to walk towards his chair as he sat down and Eliza fumed at him before promptly standing up from her chair as she made her way over to not so subtly hand her Raven Leader a white envelope and took a couple of steps back to clasp her hands behind her back smugly as Debbie was confused by what Eliza did and opened up the letter as she was surprised to see a letter inside and was more stunned to see a thousand dollars inside as the Young Woman read what was on the letter and deadpans as she sighs heavily and rolled her eyes.

"And for our final Sparrow Scout, let's hear it for Eliza for being the most responsible and hardworking Sparrow Scout that we ever had, especially more than that goody two shoes Frida and slacker witch Hilda as Eliza was able to gain her Level 5 Recycling Badge, Young Adventurer Badge, Level 5 Hiking Badge, Level 5 Cooking Badge, Level 5 Helpful and Friendly Badge, Fundraising Badge, First Aid, Friends to all Animals Badge..." Debbie trails off as she continued listing off the various badges that Eliza's Mother had bribed her to say that her Daughter had won, but in reality, she only won two of those by herself as Debbie, at first, didn't want to take the bribe...but a thousand dollars was way too good to pass up.

"Oh, God, she's not even making it subtle that Eliza had her Mom bribe the Scout Leader to earn her badges." Joanna, Roland, Logan, and many others thought to themselves deadpannedly as they had big sweatdrops on their foreheads.

"That bitch." Hilda mumbled under her breath with a glare while peeking through the curtains to see how the Badge Ceremony will play out as she had finished setting up for her performance and was waiting for the ceremony to end, but it might take a while thanks to Eliza as Hilda sighs heavily and was about to go and get a snack or something, only to stopped as a familiar voice rang out.

"You will do great," Stitch says while crawling down from a wall and jumping down to land behind Hilda, who turned to him in surprise as she gasped.

"Stitch!" Hilda exclaimed in shock, not expecting to see him as she was about to talk to him about what happened, but stopped as Stitch held out his hand.

"Wait, Stitch knows Hilda hates meega, but Stitch wanted to say that-Aaaargh!" Stitch says before yelping in pain as he felt something rumble deep inside of him and his Power Cell started vibrating as his eyes briefly glowed green and spazzed a bit as Hilda was shocked by this.

"Wait, what was that?!" An alarmed Hilda asked due to this being the first time that she was able to clearly see her Friend glitch with her own eyes as a gasping and panicking Stitch glanced down at his claws.

"Oh no, badness coming on."

"Badness? What do you mean by that-Whoa!" Hilda says before reeling back in shock as she saw Stitch having some kind of spazz attack and started twitching around while randomly popping out and retracting his alien appendages as Hilda looked horrified by this. "Stitch, what's going-Aaaaahhh!" Hilda says concernedly while moving in to try and calm him down, only for a snarling Experiment 626 to whirl around to slash across Hilda's face, sending her crashing down into the ground with a pained scream as the Blue-Haired Girl slowly got up from the floor and took a look at her reflection at a nearby mirror as she gasped in shock at the sight of the four claw marks across her left eye as Hilda covered her face and turned back to Stitch, who had stopped glitching as he turned around to look at Hilda and saw what he did while also noticing that his Friend was staring at him in deep shock and slight fear as a dismayed Stitch gasped, and his ears lowered in sadness as he glanced down at his claws.

"No..." Stitch says miserably while remembering the words that his Evil Self told him last night and the dream that he had a week ago as the Glitching Experiment had a horrifying realization that he was indeed reverting back to his Evil Programming and will soon start killing and destroying everything in sight...including the person that he had loved the most as Stitch teared up and lowered his head in sadness and shame as, after recovering from the slash, Hilda's scared demeanor died down and was replaced with a concern one, not for her but for her Best Friend as she stood up from the floor.

"Stitch..." Hilda says while taking a step forward and holding out her hand, but stopped as a trembling Stitch backed away from her.

"No, Hilda, too dangerous. I'm sorry." Stitch says, disgusted with himself for what he did as tears ran down his eyes and the Genetic Experiment turned around to drop down on all fours as he climbed up a wall and disappeared from sight, leaving a stunned and worried Hilda behind as she watched him go with teary eyes, slowly realizing that what he said yesterday was true and that he wasn't at fault for his actions as deep guilty and somberness filled her heart, but before Hilda could try to catch up with him, Debbie's Voice Rang Out.

"...And that's about it! Let's hear it for Eliza for obtaining 30 Sparrow Scout Badges!" Debbie exclaimed with the people in the crowd clapping weakly and cheering dryly. "And that concludes this year's Badge Ceremony, so let's finish off this ceremony by having our very own Sparrow Scout Hilda create a beautiful painting for us!" Debbie shouted cheerfully with the curtains being pulled away to reveal Hilda to the crowd with her back turned against him as she glanced down at the ground solemnly while trembling a bit, not feeling like painting right now as she was too worried about Stitch.

"...I said, let's finish off this ceremony by having our very own Sparrow Scout Hilda create a beautiful painting for us!" Debbie screamed through gritted teeth, prompting a sad Hilda to walk over to sit down on the stool placed in front of a canvas with the Twelve-Year-Old Girl still having her back against the crowd so that they won't see her scar and ask any questions as Hilda shakily reached over to grab a brush and dipped it into some blue paint as the Little Girl started making her painting...but couldn't even draw a simple line as Hilda dropped her paintbrush and lowered her head as she started crying a bit with Joanna and the others watching this scene in pure shock and worry...well, almost everyone.

"Ha! New Screen Saver!" A laughing Eliza says while taking a picture of a crying Hilda on her phone as Frida and even David turned to glare at her furiously.

"Okay, bitch, what is wrong with-,"

"Hilda!" A Familiar Voice Rang Out, alarming everyone as they glanced up at the source of the voice and gasped in shock as Tontu fell out of the ceiling through an Exit Hole and landed on top of Hilda as the Nisse sends them crashing into the ground. "Hilda, we got to get out-Wait, what happened to your eye?!" A worried Tontu asked while pointing at Hilda's scar as, before she could say anything, a roaring Blackhound shot out of one of the Exit Holes and crashed-landed in front of the audience, scaring them as everyone stood up from their seats and started running out of the building in fear, causing Joanna, Roland, Daemon, Kaisa, and Marcus being unable to reach Hilda as Logan was able to miraculously make his way through and ran over to stand in front of a scared Hilda and Tontu protectively as the Blackhound loomed over them.

"We can't fight him here! We need to get away from everybody! Follow me!" Tontu screamed while reaching up to grab Hilda and Logan's hands and started dragging them away.

"HILDA! LOGAN!" Joanna, Roland, Kaisa, Marcus, Daemon, Frida, and David screamed concernedly as Tontu brings the Duo over to a wall as they jumped through an entry hole with the Blackhound hot on their trails as the Group started making their way through the city of Trollberg by going in and out of various entry/exit holes in Nowhere Space as they did this for about twenty minutes before arriving back at Hilda and Stitch's Apartment as Tontu was about to go through another entry hole, but stopped as a panting Hilda crashed down into the floor.

"I-I'm...sorry...I can't...run...anymore..." Hilda says, extremely exhausted from the constant running and dodging as Tontu went over to check on her just as the Blackhound appeared as he growled down at them threateningly, and a glaring Logan stepped forward to confront him.

"Good, I was getting tired of running as well! "Bring it on, you beast!" Logan screamed furiously before using his magical mutant powers to transform into something that resembles the Feral Predator from Prey as he growled and ran over to attack the Blackhound.

Staring at each other angrily, Logan suddenly turned himself invisible and hid from view as a surprised Blackhound looked around confusedly before her enhanced hearing picked up the sounds of incoming footsteps and took a deep breath as he was able to find Logan's scent and roared loudly as the Barghest ran over to bite down on Logan's shoulder, causing him to grit his teeth in pain and yelp as Blackhounded lifted him up into the air.

Shaking him around a bit, Blackhound started whimpering in pain as Logan was able to compose himself and threw up a couple of powerful punches up his throat as the yelping Barghest was forced to lose his hold on the Shapeshifting Mutant, who quickly wrapped himself around Blackhound's throat and used his Superhuman Strength to knock them down into the ground while producing a small shockwave that rattled the whole apartment briefly, but thankfully didn't break through the floor, only cracked it as Logan jumps off the Blackhound's body and then zoomed over to deliver a mighty kick that sends the Barghest flying over to crash against the wall so hard that it cracked.

Growing angry, Blackhound stood up from the floor and ran over to collide his head against a surprised Logan's body and sends him flying over to crash against a wall as the Barghest ran over to bodyslam Logan into the wall multiple times before stepping back as he watched his opponent crash down into the floor. Snorting at him angrily, Blackhound then turned to glare at Hilda and Tontu as he was about to attack them, until he sensed Logan slowly standing up from the floor and whirled around to growl in his face as Blackhound roared and ran over to bite down into Logan again, only for the Shape-Shifting Mutated Man to rear back his arm as he then delivered a mighty punch across the Barghest's face, knocking him down into the ground with a loud pained scream as another mild shockwave rang across the apartment.

"Hilda! Are you okay?! What's going on!?" A panicking Alfur screamed after he and Astrid ran into the Living Room while riding around on Twig and Ivy with Amun tagging along as they had heard the commotion from Hilda and Stitch's Room and ran off to investigate what was going on.

"Wait, is that the Blackhound?!" A stunned Astrid asked after she and the others ran over to Hilda, who was being looked over by Tontu as the Elves and Deerfoxes were shocked by the sight of Logan fighting against the Blackhound.

"I-It's kind of a long story," Hilda says while taking deep breaths to calm her beating heart as Twig noticed the scar on her left eye and whimpered sadly as the Blue-Haired Girl rubbed his back to comfort him. "And that's another story," Hilda says just as Logan was sent sliding back over to the others and panted heavily as he glared up at the Blackhound and was about to attack him, but then-

"Get back, you monster!" A scowling Tontu Beta screamed as she appeared out of nowhere and jumped in front of the others while armed with a broom as she growled. "This is my house, so I will kindly ask you to leave!" Tontu Beta yelled as the Blackhound stared down at her ominously...before suddenly perking up happily and licked her face as Tontu Beta was confused at first, but then her eyes widened in realization as she gasped. "Wait a minute...Jellybean?!" Tontu Beta asked in shock while reaching up to place her hand on the Blackhound's nose, and his eyes stopped glowing as he panted heavily. "Jellybean! It's really you!"

"Jellybean?!" Hilda, Tontu Alpha, Alfur, and Astrid exclaimed with surprised looks as Logan was so puzzled by the scene that he reflexively changed back into his normal form.

"This is my Dog, Jellybean!" Tontu Beta shouted happily while jumping up to land on Jellybean's nose as she hugged it. "I haven't seen him since he was a puppy!"

"W-Wait, back up. Can you explain to me what the bloody hell is going on here?" A bewildered Logan asked as Tontu Beta glanced down at them and began explaining her relationship with Jellybean to our faithful heroes.

"It's a long story, but basically, I found him a long time ago when I was a wee lassie. He was lost and alone, cold and hungry, so I did what Nisses do with lost things and took him home. I looked after him in secret for a while, but when my Parents found him, they took him off me, and I never saw him again. I've never understood why."

"They must've known what he'd grow up to be," Hilda says in realization as Tontu Beta nodded while smiling down at Jellybean.

"I never knew he would get so big."

"Wait, wait, wait, hold on, you mean to tell me that the dangerous and haunting beast that attacked me long ago is nothing more than an overly-affectionate puppy-like hound?!" A flabbergasted Logan asked while facepalming himself with an embarrassed groan as everyone laughed a bit.

"But, wait, Logan brings up a point. Jellybean might be dangerous because he attacked us plenty of times unprovoked." Alfur pointed out as Tontu Beta glared down at him with a huff.

"Well, how would you react if a bunch of people are scared of you and panicked about what you look like? Besides, I know that Jellybean isn't a dangerous beast like most people think. He wouldn't hurt a fly. Growing up in the streets must have been hard on him and forced him to do things he didn't want to do."

"But what about the people he ate?" Tontu Alpha asked while pulling out a newspaper about three missing people as a glaring Astrid nodded.

"Aye, you may not believe it, but your pet here definitely ate those Humans," Astrid says as Tontu Beta frowned a bit and reached down to whisper into Jellybean's ear as he growled and nodded before proceeding to barf out the three people that he had eaten as they were all miraculously alive...somehow.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Three Missing Saliva-Covered People screamed while getting up from the floor as they ran out of the apartment.

"I guess he did sort of ate them, he, he." Tontu Beta says with a sheepish laugh as Hilda and the others gave her a deadpan frown, but didn't have time to say anything as a purple portal appeared, and Daemon and the others can be seen stepping out of it.

"Hilda! Logan!" Joanna, Roland, Kaisa, Marcus, Frida, David, and Daemon screamed worriedly while running over to check on them as Nero can be seen flying out of the purple portal last as it disappeared from sight.

"You okay, Dad?" Marcus asked with a frown as Logan nodded to his Son reassuringly while Kaisa was using her magic to heal her Boyfriend's bleeding shoulder.

"Hilda, are you okay?" Joanna asked her daughter concernedly before she and the others gasped as they spotted the four scars on Hilda's left eye.

"What happened to you? Who did this?" Frida asked nervously as Daemon slowly turned to glare coldly at Jellybean.

"Did that Monster hurt you, Madam?" Daemon asked with a sinister frown as a purple glow covered his body, and Hilda was quick to calm everyone down.

"Wait, wait, guys, calm down. the Blackhound didn't scar me. It was...someone else. I will explain later, but don't worry about my eye or anything. It wasn't damaged." Hilda promised while speaking sincerely as, while it did hurt when Stitch slashed her, thankfully his sharp claws only narrowly brushed past her left eye, or else he would've accidentally gouged her eye out. "Anyway, this is Jellybean, our Nisse's Pet," Hilda says while pointing up at Jellybean as Joanna and the others looked shocked by what he said.

"Wait, I have a Nisse in my Home?"

"And she has a Barghest as her Pet? I thought this beast was evil?" Roland asked confusedly as Logan shakes his head.

"No, bro, she's basically like an overgrown puppy who was attacking people in self-defense."

"Seriously!?" A stunned Roland asked as Logan nodded, and Hilda beamed as she turned to Tontu Alpha.

"Oh, this explains everything."

"Really?" Tontu Alpha asked in disbelief as Hilda nodded.

"Yeah, Jellybean was taught how to use the Nisse Spaces when he was a Puppy, so, of course, he's been using them to hide and move around Trollberg," Hilda says as Logan, Daemon, and Frida's eyes widened in realization.

"Oh, I see what you mean. Every time Jellybean goes through a Nisse's Nest, he's so massive that he takes everything with him." Logan started.

"And then he thrashes whatever room he happens to arrive in." Daemon continued.

"It all happened so fast that he's gone before you know what's going on," Frida added as Hilda nodded while turning to smile down at Tontu.

"That's why you're all getting kicked out of your homes, he's been unintentionally framing you." Hilda says as Tontu Alpha stared up at her in shock.

"Whoa, so you're saying that's what happened to me? Wouldn't I have seen him?"

"It's a wonder that you can see anything at all with that haircut," Marcus says dryly as Tontu Alpha turned to glare at him.

"Hey, don't diss the do." Tontu Alpha says while caressing his hair as he was about to say something but was cut off by a flash of blue light emitting from Jumba's Lab/Room as the door was opened, and a panicking Jumba and Pleakley ran out as they spotted the group and ran over to them.

"Hilda, everyone, please, tell us that you know where Stitch is?" Pleakley asked while Jumba tucked his teleporting remote into his pocket as David raised a confused eyebrow.

"Why do you ask?"

"There's something wrong with 626," Jumba says as Hilda perked up at what she said and turned to him.

"You mean like him spazzing out and his eyes glowing green?" Hilda asked as everyone, especially the Adults, turned to her in shock.

"Wait, so you've seen him glitch?" Joanna asked as Hilda nodded.

"Yeah, Stitch started acting crazy and slashed my face-Wait, you know about what's going on with Stitch?" A glaring Hilda asked with the Adults all sharing guilty looks before sighing heavily as Jumba stepped forward.

"Hilda, before you blame everyone, I want you to know that this was Jumba's decision. You see, when I first created 626, I was unable to fully charge up his Power Cell because the Galactic Federation had arrested me. 626 only had Five Years Left to live, and, at that time, I was planning to create this machine called the 'Fusion Chamber' that will help charge up his Power Cell, but then some kind of external source caused 626's Glitches to occur earlier than normal, and now, whenever 626's emotions act up, it causes him to suffer through these Glitches that will revert Experiment 626 back to his Original Programming, but that's not all. This Glitches are also causing his circuits to burn up until he goes Supernova and blows up." Jumba explained with Hilda and her Friends all looking extremely shocked by what he said as a guilty Pleakley stepped forward.

"We didn't want to worry you Kids about it because we thought we had enough time to build the Fusion Chamber and save Stitch's life,"

"Wait, so all of you knew that Stitch's life was in danger and decided not to tell us about it?! Are you all insane!?" Hilda asked angrily with the others nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, while we were wasting our time with this stupid Badge Ceremony, we could've spent that time fixing Stitch!" Frida asked furiously as Joanna raised her hands.

"I'm sorry! We all knew how much you loved the Ceremony, and we didn't want you to skip it!" Joanna screamed as Jumba stepped forward.

"Kids, calm down, we realize now that what we did is wrong, and we apologize, but none of that matters now. We have bigger problems to deal with. Judging by my calculations, Experiment 626 only has 50 Minutes left before 626 goes Supernova, and, once he does, there's a high risk that he will perish! We need to find him quickly and place him in the Fusion Chamber back on Pleakley and I's ship before it's too late!" Jumba yelled nervously, causing the Kids to panic a bit and forget about their anger for now as they nodded.

"Got it, we need to find Stitch and-," Hilda says before getting cut off by what seems to be Police Sirens as the gang walked over to see what was going on and peeked out of the windows as they were all surprised to see the Safety Patrol creating a perimeter around Hilda and Stitch's Apartment with a bunch of Safety Patrol Members armed with tranquilizer darts and nets.

"Who the heck are they?!" A surprised Pleakley asked as Logan turned to him.

"Those are the Safety Patrol, i.e., the men that my Supreme Commander Eric had left me in charge off for a while, who are tasked with taking down the Blackhound...or Jellybean, I guess," Logan says awkwardly as Tontu Beta and Blackhound whimpered nervously.

"Ugh, seriously, how did they even find out the Blackhound is here?!" A disbelieving Hilda asked while rubbing her temples as she sighs. "We really don't have time for this. We have to find and save Stitch."

"But what about Jellybean? He'll be in danger because of them. You have to help us." Tontu Beta says as Hilda bit her lip nervously and looks down, not knowing whether to save Stitch or Blackhound as Roland raised his hand.

"Well, how about we do a compromise and do both? We will split up into two teams. Team A will help deal with the Blackhound and distract the Safety Patrol while Team B will go and find Stitch to save him." Roland suggested as Hilda beamed at the idea.

"Ooh, great plan, Mr. Trento-I mean, Roland." Hilda corrected herself awkwardly as Roland winked at her.

"But two big problems. One, the house is surrounded by the Safety Patrol. How will we make them go away so that we can go out and find Stitch? Two, how will we get the Blackhound out of the city safely?" Frida asked, causing Hilda to deflate a bit as Marcus was quick to comfort her and stepped forward.

"Don't worry, Girls, that's an easy fix. My Dad is the General of the Safety Patrol, right? Well, all he has to do is lie to them and tell them where the Blackhound went, so that we can make them go away and sneak past their radar and have the Blackhound sneak out of the city, safely." Marcus says as Logan smirks and nods.

"Excellent plan, Son." Logan says proudly while rubbing Marcus' head as Daemon nodded.

"Indeed, here's the plan, Madam. After Hilda's Cousin Logan lies to the Safety Patrol and makes them leave the premises, Logan, Kaisa, Marcus, Frida, David, Tontu, Astrid, and Ivy will work together to take the Tontu's Barghest out of Trollberg and take him to safety. While they do that, Madam, her Mother, Mr. Trenton, Jumba, Pleakley, Alfur, Twig, Amun, Nero, and I will take the opportunity to search for Stitch. We can't waste anymore time, so let's hustle." Daemon stated with a serious glare as everyone nodded.

"Alright, Men, we know that the Blackhound is in this apartment, so let's go in and-," One of the Safety Patrol Members says before getting cut off by the Blackhound suddenly dropping down in front of them as he roared at them angrily and then turned around to run away as he turned a corner just as one of the walkie talkies on the Main Safety Patrol Leader blared to life as he reached down to grab it and turn it on.

"Men! I was able to fight off the Blackhound, but it escaped from my Apartment and is heading towards the North Side of the City! I'm in hot pursuit! Bring me some backup!" Logan's Voice Rang Out as the Main Safety Patrol Leader and nodded as he then ordered his men to break off the parameter and the Safety Patrol got into their vehicles as they then rode off to follow after the Blackhound, not noticing that Logan can be seen peeking out of an alleyway as he pulled out his phone.

"They took the bait!" Logan exclaimed with a smirk, using his Shapeshifting powers to make himself resemble the Blackhound and made everyone think that the Barghest was escaping. "Let's go!" Logan ordered as Team B popped out of a Nowhere Space Exit Hole. "Alright, everyone, follow me!" Logan yelled while shapeshifting himself into a Barghest as he allowed Kaisa, Marcus, Astrid, and Ivy to mount him while Jellybean allowed Tontu Beta, Tontu Alpha, Frida, and David to mount him as the Gang then ran off with Daemon and Nero flying after them with the help of their wings.

Panting heavily, Logan and Jellybean can be seen running through the streets of Trollberg as they were making their way to the City's Gates, not noticing that they ran past Two Safety Patrol Vehicles that were stationed there due to being too lazy of moving in with the other Safety Patrol Members when they were commanded to go with them, but after spotted Two Barghest 'rampaging' across the city while holding a woman and several kids 'hostage' as well what seems to be a boy with wings and a bird as they were quick to follow after them. After hearing the sirens emitting from the Safety Patrol Cars, the Gang panicked a bit as they continued running across Trollberg while dodging and weaving from numerous tranquil darts and safety nets being shot at them as they reached the gates and were about to try and run out of the city, only to be shocked to see that the gates were slammed shut as they skid to a stop.

"Oh, great! They locked the gates!" An angry Logan yelled while dropping Kaisa and the others onto the ground as Jellybean did the same, and Logan shapeshifted back into his normal form as Frida turned to the others worriedly.

"What are we going to do?! The Safety Patrol will be with us any second now!"

"We need to come up with a plan now!" Astrid yelled urgently while still riding around on Ivy as Tontu Beta came up with a genius yet highly risky idea as she turned to Tontu Alpha.

"Tontu, quick, take my hand!"

"Whoa, whoa, wait! I know what you're thinking! It's too dangerous!" A concerned Tontu Alpha says as everyone turned to the Nisses.

"What are you guys talking about?" A confused David asked just as the Safety Patrol Sirens rang out as the Gang realized that the Safety Patrol will be here any minute now.

"There's no time to explain! Tontu, we're going to get caught by the Safety Patrol any second now! We have to go!" Tontu Beta ordered as Tontu Alpha flinched but nodded as he reached over to grab her hand. "One..."

"...Two..."

"...Pull!" Both Tontus screamed while yanking their arms downwards as the Nisses were able to warp everyone through an entry hole of the Outside Nowhere Space and disappeared from sight just as the Safety Patrol appeared to try and capture both Barghests and save the hostages, but couldn't find them as they look around confusedly, not knowing that the whole group were currently floating around in Outside Nowhere Space while being forced to hold their breaths due to the lack of oxygen as Tontu Alpha frantically moved his hands around and was able to miraculously find an exit hole that leads them back to the Real World as they all crash-landed onto the ground.

"Ugh, is everyone okay?" Logan asked after getting up from the floor as he looked around and spotted his Girlfriend helping their son up from the floor as Frida did the same thing with David while Daemon and Astrid comforted Nero and Ivy as Tontu Alpha could be seen lying around.

"Yeah, we are." Daemon says as a bewildered David looked around.

"What on Earth was that?"

"That place is the place we never go to. Sorry for dragging you through there. It was necessary." Tontu Alpha says groggily while getting up from the floor as Frida turned to smile at him.

"Don't worry, Tontu, we understand. You and the other Tontu saved us back there."

"Speaking off, where is the Other Tontu and Jellybean?" Marcus asked with a puzzled look while looking around as he and the others realized that the Duo was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm sorry to say this, Son, but I think they got lost in Nowhere Space," Kaisa says solemnly as Tontu Alpha nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's one of the dangers of traveling through Nowhere Space while being outside. They could be either a few feet or a thousand miles away from us or even in the stars. There's no telling where they are right now or if they even made it out at all." Tontu Alpha says with a grim, sorrowful tone as everyone frowned at this sadly and lowered their heads as they all hoped that Tontu Beta and Jellybean will be safe and sound.

"Stitch! Stitch, where are you?!" Jumba and Roland screamed while walking around Trollberg Park to try and look for Stitch as Amun was searching behind them.

"Stitch! Are you here?!" Pleakley asked while searching through the back of the Sparrow Scout Hall as he peeked underneath a rock, and Aflur can be seen searching in the background with the help of Twig as the Deerfox sniffed the ground.

"Stitch? You here?" Hilda asked worriedly while looking inside Stitch's favorite hiding place, which was inside the washing machine in their apartment as she opened the small door and peeked inside, only to find nothing as Hilda pouted but then perked up as she heard some small commotion inside of her and Stitch's room.

"Stitch!" Hilda shouted in relief and happiness while turning around to run into the hallway as she made her way to her and Stitch's Room as the Blue-Haired Girl opened the door...and her smile dropped as she spotted her mother Joanna standing inside and holding Stitch's Goodness Level Chart as she handed it over to Hilda, who grabbed it and stared down at it in shock and guilty as she saw that it was crossed out and had the words 'Monster' written on it. "No..." Hilda says with tears running down her face as Joanna went over to bend down and cradle her face as she wiped away her tears.

"Hey, we will find him, I promise," Joanna says reassuringly as Hilda sniffles and nodded as, after calming her Daughter down, the Duo then made their way out of the apartment and appeared outside just as Jumba, Roland, and Amun appeared as they ran over to them. "Did you find him?" Joanna asked concernedly as Roland shakes his head with a frown on his face.

"No, Jumba, Pleakley, Alfur, Twig, Amun and I had spent the last half hour trying to find Stitch, but we couldn't find him at all."

"And we only have 20 Minutes left before Stitch goes kablooey!" Jumba yelled nervously as Hilda bit her lip anxiously.

"This doesn't make sense. We looked everywhere in Trollberg. Where could Stitch have gone-," Hilda says before trailing off as her eyes widened in shock and pointed ahead as everyone looked to where she was pointing, and Joanna and the others had their jaws dropped as they spotted Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship slowly floating up into the air from the Trollberg Woods as everyone in Trollberg were stunned by the sight of some kind of spaceship flying around in the air due to Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship not having its camouflage feature turned on.

"The ship!" Joanna screamed in alarm.

"The Fusion Chamber!" A wide-eyed, nervous Jumba shouted.

"Stitch!" Hilda yelled concernedly as we cue back to Jumba and Pleakley's Ship as we see a solemn Stitch sitting inside of the Captain's Seat, being able to activate the ship due to Jumba accidentally leaving behind the keys to the ship inside as 626 was able to find it after running all the way to and through the woods and barged into the ship.

"Goodbye, Trollberg," Stitch says sadly while peeking out of the window as he used his Superhuman Eyesight to zoom into the city and was able to see half of his Family standing in front of his former home as 626 teared up at the sight of them and almost changed his mind about going off-world, but after spotting the scar on Hilda's face, a guilty and somber Stitch teared up as he waved at them before turning around to grab the wheel of the ship as he commanded it to take off into the air.

"Stitch, no!" Hilda screamed while holding out her hand as she teared up at the sight of Stitch leaving them before steeling her nerves as she turned to the others determinedly. "Quick, we need to follow after him!"

"How? We won't be able to leave Trollberg in time to follow after him!" Roland yelled as Jumba perked up, getting an idea as he pulled out his Teleporting Remote.

"Maybe not, but with this remote, it will teleport us to the Trollberg Woods, and from there, we will be able to follow him on foot!"

"On foot? We won't be able to catch up to him in time!" Joanna yelled with Hilda biting her lip anxiously as she was about to say something, but then stopped as a loud horn rang out and everyone turned their heads as they spotted Pleakley riding around in Joanna's Minivan as Alfur and Twig rode in the back.

"Yoohoo~!" Pleakley yelled with a sing-songy tone while waving his hand around to get her attention as everyone beamed and ran over to him. After being forced to switch seats with Joanna, Pleakley quickly got into the back with Jumba, Hilda, Alfur, and Twig as Roland sat in the passenger seat with Amun as Jumba quickly pressed a button on the remote and a blue glow covered the whole car as the Gang was swiftly teleported into the Trollberg Woods, and Joanna wasted no time in slamming her foot onto the pedal as her Mini Van immediately zoomed forward and started driving through the woods as they chased after Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship.

"Come on, Mum, drive faster! We need to catch up to Stitch!" Hilda yelled worriedly from the backseat as Joanna nodded while slamming her foot onto the pedal again, driving her Minivan faster, but it was still too slow to catch up with Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship as Joanna cursed under her breath.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I'm giving the Minivan all she's got! It's too slow!" Joanna says as Hilda groaned in annoyance.

"Jumba calculates that at the rate 626's going, he will soon accelerate to the stratosphere! We only have 15 Minutes left before he explodes!" Jumba screamed nervously as Roland gritted his teeth and slammed his fist onto the dashboard.

"Damn it! If only we had a way to communicate with Stitch!"

"...oh, it's horrible, Mom, Stitch took off in our ship, and we have no way to contact him," Pleakley says while speaking into his Space Phone to talk to his Mother as Hilda and the others realized what he was doing and slowly turned to him with deadpan, irritated looks as Joanna only briefly glared at him in annoyance due to needing to keep her eyes on the road.

"Give me that, you idiot!" Jumba screamed while snatching the Space Phone from out of Pleakley's hands as the Bald-Headed Genius puts on a fake, polite tone. "Yes, sorry, Mother Pleakley, but he won't be able to talk to you because we have an emergency now! Goodbye!" Jumba yelled while hanging up the call as he then began dialing up the Communication Channel on his ship.

"Thank you for calling the Galactic Federation Hotline. How may I help you?" A Lady's Voice Rang Out from the dashboard placed in front of Stitch as his ears dropped sadly, and Jumba's Greatest Creation sniffled as he fought back his tears.

"Meega ma Stitch...Experiment 626 nad meega woka kekl ot nuruto meegaself ni rof congala a vota (I am Stitch...Experiment 626 and I would like to turn myself in for committing a crime)," Stitch says solemnly while deciding that he's not worthy enough to continue using his Earth Name as he went back to using his Original Name.

"Okay, and on what grounds?"

"Rof mooka meega auen woota ot kaka het miktot ni carga fo wokuto meega solentiete fo meega ooruru vota fo bebe na Ooguta Geviene Exhelmet cootaka yb Jumba Jookiba. Meega'ev bookio meega patak yb usuario meega woota rof dab nda, sa detect by het Grand Council Woman, meega wusho ot be aracka ttiku lala nda eb boru nto a dedeserest asa, raf yay moku alia hat meega coku motak (For using my alien powers to attack the caretaker in charge of watching for my sentencing of my original crime, which is for being an illegal genetic experiment created by Jumba Jookiba. I have broken my parole by using my powers for bad and, as decreed by the Grand Councilwoman, I wish to be arrested right away and be banished onto a desert asteroid, far away from anyone that I could hurt),"

"Alright, understood. We had set your Spaceship's Coordinates to the nearest Galactic Federation Building. Once you hit your Hyperdrive, your ship will automatically be warped to Planet Vomirerio, where you will be arrested for your crime and have a trial with the Galactic Council themselves." The Lady says as Stitch lowered his head and trembled a bit, not wanting to leave home but knowing that if he stayed, Stitch would do something that he will regret for the rest of his life as Jumba's Greatest Creation sighs dejectedly and reached over to the Hyperdrive Lever as he was about to grab it, but then-

"Stitch, can you hear me?! Don't leave!" Hilda's Voice Rang Out from the speakers on the ship as a surprised Stitch stopped in his tracks and looked around. "I didn't mean what I said! I don't want you to leave me! Please, come back! We know what's going on with you and we can cure you! Just please turn around! I can't lose you!" Hilda screamed as Stitch felt his power cell throb painfully at hearing how panicky and depressed her voice sounded as his arms shake a bit, and tears run down his eyes as 626 reluctantly placed his hands down on the Hyperdrive Lever.

"Hilda...I'm sorry, but there's no fixing Stitch. Stich can never come back." Stitch says tearfully while taking a deep breath to steel his nerves as he pulled on the Hyperdrive Lever and was about to press it down to enter Hyperspace to leave Earth forever, but then Stitch lets out a loud painful, guttural scream as he felt his Power Cell rumbling violently, to the point that his body was shaking as if he was experiencing an earthquake as Stitch's body glowed bright green and popped out his alien appendages as his eyes glowed a hot green.

"Oh, no, look!" A concerned Alfur screamed while pointing out of the window as they spotted Jumba and Pleakley's Ship flying around sporadically, and a bright green glow emitting from it before a huge green explosion covered the whole ship as it blew up into a billion pieces in mid-air.

"STITCH!" Hilda and the others screamed in anguish and horror as Joanna slammed her foot on the brakes, and the Minivan skidded to a stop as everyone got out of the vehicle and spotted the remains of Jumba and Pleakley's Ship crashing down from the sky but then Hilda and the others beamed as they spotted a knocked out yet still alive Stitch falling through the air and crashed down into the side of the mountain.

"Quick! We still have a chance to save him, but we only have 5 minutes left!"

"But how? We will never make it there in time by Minivan!" A panicking Pleakley screamed to Jumba, who deflated a bit as he struggled to come up with a faster way to get to Stitch, but then Joanna remembered something as she reached down to grab Hilda's arm and started dragging her to the back of her vehicle.

"Mum, what are you..." Hilda says before trailing off as Joanna opened up the back of the Minivan and was shocked to see her Hovercraft residing inside while currently in its small form as her Mother turned to smile at her weakly.

"It was my best hiding place," Joanna says with a shrug, happy that Jumba had installed a function that will allow the ship to shrink for storage purposes.

"Mum, thank you," Hilda says tearfully while hugging her as Joanna hugged her back before grabbing her armpits and placed her Daughter in the Hovercraft as a cramped Hilda was quick to activate her Hovercraft, and it slowly floated up into the air as it automatically grew back to its original size.

"Remember, you need to place Experiment 626 inside of the Fusion Chamber and activated it by pulling on the big lever before his Power Cell runs out. It's his only chance," Jumba says urgently yet seriously as a somber Hilda nodded stoically and quickly took off into the air in her Hovercraft as the others stayed behind to figure out a way to catch up with Hilda and Stitch.

"Come on, come on, please don't be too late. Please don't be too late." Hilda mumbled to herself nervously with tears building up in her eyes as she flew towards the area from where the remains of Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship crash-landed as the Blue-Haired Girl floated down to land on the ground and turned off her Hovercraft as she jumps off it and began searching for Stitch as Hilda started digging through the wreckage of the destroyed ship, but instead of finding Stitch, she was able to find the Fusion Chamber, which was not destroyed from the explosion due to Helper-X9 hugging it tightly as he created a forcefield around it. "Helper-X9!"

"Hilda!" Helper-X9 yelled in relief as he was left behind to guard the ship by his creator Jumba as he was monitoring the Fusion Chamber when Stitch suddenly broke into the ship and took command of it as Helper-X9 was unable to stop him due to Stitch locking up the doors, but was able to at least protect the Fusion Chamber when the ship suddenly exploded. "I spotted Experiment 626 crashing over there! Go and save him!" Helper-X9 screamed while pointing to the left as Hilda nodded and ran over to the direction from where Stitch had crash-landed as she was able to find him lying inside a big smoking crater.

"Stitch!" Hilda shouted concernedly while making her way down the crater as Stitch moaned and opened his eyes as he spotted his Best Friend staring down at him anxiously and raised his hand to stop her.

"No, Hilda, too dangerous..."

"You're not dangerous, Stitch," Hilda says sternly yet gently while grabbing Stitch by his armpits and started dragging him out of the crater. "Jumba explained to us that your Power Cell was never fully charged up and that's what caused you to glitch out and act evil again, but Jumba's Machine will be able to cure you, so don't you give up on me, okay?" Hilda says with a teary glare as she was able to pull Stitch out of the large smoking crater and began moving him towards the Fusion Chamber as Helper-X9 dropped his forcefield and opened it up Jumba's Machine as he helped Hilda place Stitch inside and the Blue-Haired Girl quickly ran over to grab the lever just as the green-screened monitor that showed the image of a Blue Chibi Experiment 626 placed beside another image of his Power Cell, and it was almost turned fully white, signaling that 99.99% of Stitch's Power Cell was drained as a grunting Hilda pulled on the lever with all of her might and was able to yank it down as the Fusion Chamber started powering up and glowed green as Hilda ran over to place her face on the glass to see Stitch's progress.

"O-Okay, S-Stitch, this m-machine will heal you, s-so you will be fine. E-Everything's going to be okay. Just p-please...please don't c-close your eyes." Hilda says with a shaky smile and tears gathering up in her eyes as an extremely weak and moaning Stitch turned over to face his Best Friend as Experiment 626 reached over to place his hand over where Hilda's scar was with a remorseful expression on his face.

"S-Stitch sorry," Stitch says while giving her a trembling smile and tears running down his eyes as his eyes then widened, and Stitch took a deep breath before his arm drops as his head rolled to the side, and his eyes closed.

"No...no, no, no! Not again! God, please! Not again!" A horrified and sad Hilda screamed while slamming her fist onto the glass and was able to slightly crack it due to her body briefly glowing a mystical blue before fading as a silently crying Hilda lowered her head, and strange and painful visions started appearing on her head as the Blue-Haired Girl saw a vision of her heavily injured Father giving her a sorrowful smile and apologizing for leaving her as Hilda took a couple of steps back and crashed down into the ground while raising her hands to place them on her head as she panted heavily with her heart beating rapidly as Hilda was in the midst of having a panic attack.

"Thanks for the lift, Daemon." A grateful Joanna says as a dark purple portal appeared on the mountain from where Hilda and the others were residing as everyone walked through it, and the portal disappeared behind them.

"You're welcome, Ma'am," Daemon says politely as, after recovering from their Trip to the Outside Nowhere Space, the Gang spotted Jumba and Pleakley's Ship taking off into the air and were quick to follow after it thanks to Daemon's teleporting powers as they had met up with Joanna and the others earlier and decide to have them come along for easy travel.

"Quick, there's no time to waste! We need to help Hilda load 626 into the Fusion Chamber before..." Jumba says before trailing off as he and the others spotted a panting Hilda lying on the ground while in a fetal position as a seemingly dead Stitch lay inside of an activated Fusion Chamber.

"Hilda!" Joanna screamed while she and Roland ran over to check on Hilda as the others stayed close by to see what happens, but they gave the Trio some space since Hilda didn't look good right now. "Hilda, baby, what's wrong?"

"Hilda, come on, sweetheart, speak to us," Roland says worriedly since Hilda didn't seem to be able to hear them as her pupils were dilated and her chest was heaving up and down too fast for their liking, so Joanna did what any good mother would do and hugged her Daughter close to her chest while rubbing her hair as Roland rubbed her back to help comfort her and, thanks to their combined efforts, Hilda was able to calm down enough to regain her senses as she glanced up at her Friends and Family as the Blue-Haired Girl spotted Jumba and perked up as she got out of her Mother's Hold and ran over to the Bald Genius.

"Jumba! Jumba, help Stitch! The machine's not working!" Hilda screamed anxiously while grabbing Jumba's arm as she dragged him over to the Fusion Chamber and a frantically worried Jumba checked it over before facing the green-screened monitor screen as it showed the image of a Blue Chibi Experiment 626 placed beside another image of his Power Cell, and it turned fully white, signaling that 100% of Stitch's Power Cell was completely drained as a pale-faced and grim Jumba slowly turned to the others.

"We're too late," Jumba says somberly, causing Hilda's eyes to widen in horror and gasp in sadness as Jumba silently pulled up the lever, turning off the machine as the glass opened up and Jumba reached over to grab Stitch. "626, I'm sorry..." Jumba says while hugging him and shedding tears as Hilda ran over to him.

"No!" Hilda yelled while being able to snatch Stitch out of his grip as she laid him on the ground and hugged him as fresh hot tears ran down her eyes.

"Hilda, I'm sorry, but there's nothing you can do. I'm afraid 626 is gone...for good." Jumba says, while feeling choked up saying that, as Hilda merely buried her face into Stitch's neck, not minding that his body feels cold and lifeless now, as a teared-up Joanna walked over to her.

"Hilda, I-I'm sorry, come here-,"

"No!" Hilda yelled stubbornly while hugging Stitch tighter, unwilling to leave him as Joanna placed her hands over her heart, and tears ran down her face as an equally crying Roland walked over to hug her from behind while a stunned Frida can be seen staring at Stitch's lifeless body, unable to believe that he's truly dead as she teared up and hugged herself as the Twelve-Year-Old Girl crashed down into the ground and started sobbing a bit as David walked over to bend down and hug her as he also started crying.

"I'm not ready for this," Logan says while gritting his teeth and shedding tears as a teary-eyed Kaisa nods while sniffling a bit as they made their way over to hug their son, who was standing there in deep shock as he wasn't able to process the fact that Stitch really is dead.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't be much help, Master," Helper-X9 says to Jumba as, while he wasn't crying, it was clear that he was sad and frustrated by his failure.

"I-It's okay, Helper-X9. You did your best. I'm the one who failed here." Jumba says while lowering his head depressingly as he started sobbing a bit, and Pleakley walked over to hug his friend to comfort him as his antenna dropped solemnly.

"Astrid, are you okay?" Alfur asked while standing on the ground with Astrid, who was shaking a bit and clenched her fist as she lowered her head.

"I-I'm fine, Alfur, nothing is wrong..." Astrid says with a trembling voice and tears leaking down her face, clearly devastated by Stitch's death as Aflur shed tears as well and walked over to hug her with Astrid not pushing him away as she buried her face into his chest and started sobbing as Twig and Ivy can be seen cuddling each other while whimpering sadly as Amun, who for once doesn't look dense, was cawing out his sorrows and the Deerfoxes went over to cuddle him to comfort him.

"Oh no..." Tontu says while feeling sympathetic for what Hilda and the others were feeling as even the Nisse was shocked and horrified by Stitch's death, even if they had a rough start since no one deserves to die like that.

"Hilda," Daemon says while walking over to sit down beside Hilda, who was cradling Stitch's lifeless body as the Blue-Haired Girl turned to him with watery eyes as she sobs.

"I-It's all my fault, D-Daemon. I-I should've seen this earlier. A-All of the times that S-Stitch glitched out and acted like his old self. H-He even told me that something was wrong with him, and I-I brushed him off because I thought h-he was lying. I-If I had listened, I would've found out about his Glitches and gladly a-abandoned the Badge Ceremony to help him, but I-I didn't. Instead, all I-I care about was getting that s-stupid badge at the c-ceremony and, because of my selfish actions, I-I let my Best Friend die." Hilda says with her body radiating with guilt and sorrow as she then turned to glance down at a dead Stitch. "S-Stitch, I-I'm so, so, sorry for what h-happened to you," Hilda says while taking a deep breath to control her raging emotions as she felt like her heart was stabbed multiple times by the death of her loved one, a feeling she knew all too well, but Hilda was able to control herself long enough to say her final words to Stitch as she glanced down at him while brushing away her tears.

"I always kept saying how much I-I needed you, but you needed me m-more. Y-You helped me dozens of times, but I-I couldn't even help you once when y-you needed me the m-most. I-I'm sorry for being such a horrible selfish f-friend. I-I just wanted to tell you that no matter what I've said in the past, I-I have never seen you like a Monster. You're my family, Stitch. Y-You always have been, and...and I-I never got the chance to tell you this, b-but I've always felt that you were like the L-Little Brother that I-I have never had and I-I'm sorry for letting you down. I'm sorry, S-Stitch. I-I will always love y-you." Hilda says while leaning down to kiss his forehead before laying her head on Stitch's chest as she started sobbing loudly, and her distraught, mournful cries rang across the mountain around her as everyone teared up at what she said and started crying, but while everyone was grieving for Stitch's death, Daemon remained silent as shadows covered his eyes and gritted his teeth angrily as he shakes his head.

"No."

"W-What?" Hilda asked while still sobbing as she raised her head and spotted Daemon having an angry glare on his face as he stood up from the floor.

"It can't end like this! Not after everything we went through! There has to be a way to save him!" Daemon screamed defiantly as Jumba stepped forward.

"I'm sorry, Daemon, but there's no other way. Nothing on this planet could possibly have the energy to charge up 626's Power Cell, unless it's Magic, but even then, it wasn't enough."

"Well...what if I say that I know a source of Magic that is unlike any other? Like, Demon Energy?" Daemon asked nervously, causing everyone to turn to him in shock as a sniffling Hilda wiped away her tears.

"I-I'm sorry, what?" Hilda asked as Daemon turned to give her a guilty look.

"I'm sorry for not telling you this, Hilda, but remember when I told you that I'm a Prince? Well, I neglected to mention that I'm the Prince of the Demon Realm."

"Wait, seriously, Daemon?!" A shocked, teary-eyed Hilda asked...before frowning as a thought appeared in her head. "Wait, Daemon...Daemon...oh my god, your name is literally spelled Demon but with an added 'a'. How did I not catch this?" Hilda asked while facepalming as Daemon gave her a nervous smile.

"It's okay, Hilda, don't worry, but back to the matter at hand, I think I know a way to save Stitch," Daemon says while raising his hand as a ball of demonic purple energy forms in his hand. "Do you think if I helped charge Stitch's Power Cell with my demonic energy, would it revive him?" Daemon asked anxiously as Pleakley turned to Jumba.

"Can it, Jumba?" Pleakley asked hopefully as Jumba places his hand on his chin and hummed thoughtfully.

"Hmmm, theoretically, it should, but there are too many variables with this plan."

"What do you mean, Jumba?" Roland asked as Jumba sighed heavily and gave everyone a solemn glare.

"Since Jumba doesn't have his Super Computer with him, there's no way for Jumba to test out if Daemon's Demonic Energy would be compatible with not only the Fusion Chamber but charging up Experiment 626 as well, and, even if it all goes successfully right, there's no telling what this new type of unearthly energy could do to 626's alien biological makeup. It could either charge him up to 100% and bring 626 back to life, cause him to explode again, or resurrect Experiment 626 but revert him back to his Original Programming and wipe away his memories. The possibilities and risks are endless, so I can't in good conscience let you all go through with this plan-,"

"Jumba, please, Stitch is my best friend, I can't let him die. I just can't." Hilda says while hugging Stitch as Logan turned to Jumba.

"This is our last chance, Jumba. Even if it's risky, it's better than not trying at all, and if something terrible does happen to Stitch, than...we will deal with it."

"As a family," Pleakley added while giving Jumba's hand a comforting squeeze as the Former Evil Genius glanced across the area and frowned a bit, not liking this dangerous plan whatsoever...but if it will save 626, then that's a risk that he has to take as Jumba nodded.

"Okay, everyone, load Stitch up into the Fusion Chamber. Daemon, Kaisa, come with me." Jumba instructed seriously as everyone perked up and nodded with people like Hilda and such grabbing Stitch's body as they loaded him up into the Fusion Chamber and closed up the glass cage as Jumba, Kaisa, and Daemon made their way over to the back of the machine as the Bald Genius pressed a button at the top, causing the back to open up and reveal the magical power source inside as Kaisa chanted a spell under her breath and cause the ball of magical energy to dissipate.

"Per potentiam, qua in me est, per omnipotentem Dcemonem Regem, potestatem posco patris omnipotentis, ut mihi tribuat incantationem, quae potestatem vitam in centum centesimis adiuvet, et, si dignus fuerit, possideat. potestas daemoniorum, princeps daemonum omnium!" Daemon chanted with his voice sounding deep and demonic as the clouds above everyone darkened and a bolt of powerful purple lightning rained down from the heavens as it flew over to impact against Daemon's outstretched hand and, slowly but surely, created a small ball of immense dark purple demonic energy as Daemon daintily blew on it and it flew over to reside inside of the Fusion Chamber, helping to power it up as Jumba pressed the button again and the back of the machine closed up.

"Alright, cross your fingers, everyone, let's hope this works," Jumba says with everyone nodding and holding their loved ones for dear life as they all silently prayed that the new plan will work and watched on nervously as Jumba slowly reached over to grab the lever and pulls it down, causing the Fusion Chamber to power up but, unlike before, it was glowing purple instead of the usual green as Stitch's dead body could be seen slowly floating up into the air and multiple trails of dark purple demonic energy traveled across his body before phasing into his Power Cell, causing it to glow bright purple as a huge flash of purple demonic energy occurred, momentarily blinding everyone as, once the flash of light dies down, everyone was shocked by the sight of Stitch's new appearance.

Floating in front of everyone was a 3-foot-tall, 1-year-old Illegal Genetic Experiment Alien/Demon Hybrid as he resembles a mix between a dog/koala/demon-like creature with large red pupilless eyes, two long dark purple-tipped bug-like antennas that had spikes on them, large bat-like ears with red insides, a large dark purple round nose, a wide mouth with white shark-like teeth, three pairs of dark purple razor-sharped four-clawed arms, dark purple fur with light purple patches around his eyes that reaches down from his chin all the way to his stomach as there was also a big tuft of dark purple hair on his chest, two dark purple markings on the back of his head, five thick long sharp blade-like spines on his back, dark purple four-toed stubby legs, a long dark purple forked-tail. Stitch has now been reborn into his Alien/Demon Hybrid self!

"Stitch..." Hilda breathes out as she had an amazed, shocked expression on her face with the others looking the same as a seemingly dead Stitch floated down just as the Fusion Chamber turn itself off as the glass cage opened up, and everyone crowded around Stitch. "...a-are...are you still alive? Or are you...destructive and evil?" Hilda asked concernedly with wavery eyes as Stitch remained quiet for a bit before slowly opening his eyes as 626 turned to look at his Best Friend.

"S-Stitch not destructive or evil...Stitch...is...cute and fluffy!" Stitch yelled excitedly while opening his eyes and looking more alive than ever before as a beyond relieved and happy Hilda smiled at him.

"Stitch!" Hilda screamed while leaping over to tackle him off from the Fusion Chamber and into the ground as she hugged him while sobbing with joy as the green-screened monitor screen on the Fusion Chamber showed the image of a Blue Chibi Experiment 626 placed beside another image of his Power Cell, and it turned fully green, signaling that 100% of Stitch's Power Cell was completely charged up as it flashed brightly.

"S-Stich good now?" Stitch asked worriedly as Hilda smiled down at him reassuringly with tears still running down her eyes.

"Yeah, Stitch good now, no more nightmares," Hilda says while kissing him all over his face as Stitch giggled a bit before noticing the drastic change in his body as he studied himself a bit.

"What happened to Stitch?" Stitch asked curiously as Daemon raised his hand with a sheepish grin on his face.

"Oh, uh, that was my fault. Sorry about that, Stitch, but the only way to save you was by charging your Power Cell with my Demonic Energy." Daemon says as Stitch gave him an incredulous look.

"Are youga kidding me?! Stitch alive and stronger than ever! Youga save Stitch's life!"

"And, for that, I'm eternally grateful," Hilda says while getting up from the floor as she walked over to Daemon and grabs his face as, before the confused Demon Prince could react, the Blue-Haired Girl closed her eyes and leaned in to give him a big kiss before letting go of him as a dazed Daemon wiggled around with a big goofy grin on his face as he crashed down into the floor.

"Nice." An amused Logan says with Hilda giggling a bit at Daemon's actions as a big blush was on her face, but it disappeared once an extremely happy Stitch popped two dark purple demonic wings out of his back and took flight as he started flying around with Hilda and everyone else cheering on that Stitch was able to survive as all well too and well...although, there was one thing to take care off.

"Ha, ha, ha! You should've seen his face, Audrey! It was so hilarious!" Angelica the Marra yelled with a laugh while floating above a bed as we see her residing on a broken down, abandoned cabin in the Trollberg Woods during night time as she was on a phone call with one of her Marra Friends.

"..."

"Hmmm? Oh, yeah, don't worry. I made sure that I wasn't caught."

"..."

"Trust me, if any one of them found out that I'm the reason why that freak Stitch's glitches started occurring early, they will destroy me, but luckily, they didn't, and my plan is going fluently," Angelica says with a sinister grin, not knowing nor noticing the sounds of footsteps outside. "I was able to finally break that freak by making him believe that he was a monster and, by now, his circuits would've gone supernova and died. It's a shame that I wasn't there to be able to listen to that Hilda Brat's cries of anguish, but I couldn't risk being spotted. Oh, well, there's always phase two of my plan, which is to get into Hilda's dreams and make her have vivid, scary nightmares of her Best Friend in the whole wide world blaming her for his death, and this will cause Hilda to be so filled with regret and sadness that she will try to kill herself."

"Ha, ha! Oh, this is the greatest plan ever! Nothing will be able to stop-Huh?!" Angelica says before yelping in surprise as some kind of demonic magic whirled around her until they formed into ultra-thick leather chains that wrapped around her arms/waist/legs and bound her to the floor, preventing her from being able to run away or use her teleportation magic as she grunted in anger and fright. "What the bloody hell is going on?!" Angelica asked with a glare just as the doors were flung open as she flinched and briefly closed her eyes before opening them as she was shocked to see Hilda, Stitch, and the others standing in front of her. "Oh, shit...I mean, oh hey! Long time no see. What's up?" Angelica asked with a fake nervous smile, trying to act casual as the Gang said nothing at first but walked inside the cabin as Roland locked the door behind them.

"Angelica the Marra, we know what you did," Hilda says coldly with shadows covering her eyes and Stitch growling angrily as, after they finished celebrating Stitch's resurrection and rebirth, Daemon, Logan, Roland, and Kaisa studied Stitch's body and were able to figure out the true reason why his Glitches started appearing early and deduced that it was thanks to some Nightmare Spirit as it didn't take long for Hilda and the others to figure out who was the culprit and, sure enough, when they were able to track her down, their suspicions were proven correct.

"W-What do you mean? I-I haven't done a-anything. I-I haven't even g-given a H-Human Being a Nightmare in the past year." Angelica says with a shaky smile, not actually lying this time since, after infiltrating Joanna's steamy dream, she was too disgusted to ever enter someone else's dream, and that ended up really messing up her reputation with the other Marras.

"No, but youga gave me Nightmares for the past several months," Stitch says while cracking his knuckles as a glaring Jumba nodded.

"And accelerated 626's glitches."

"Almost causing him to die," Pleakley says angrily while clenching his fists as Angelica shifted her eyes around nervously.

"U-Uh...what? No, I didn't do-,"

"Quit lying, you fucking brat. We heard what you said to your friend, and, while I usually don't condone my children committing violence if it's not in self-defense, I guess that I will make an exception this time." Joanna says with a scowl as the others were briefly surprised to hear her curse but didn't say anything as Angelica stared at all of them in shock and fear.

"W-What are you going to do to me?" Angelica asked anxiously as Daemon narrowed his eyes at her with a look of utter rage and vengeance in his eyes.

"You were planning to kill someone that I see as a dear friend, and then you were planning to kill my Future Queen. You're the scum of the earth. I don't know what happened to your Parents, but clearly, they haven't been doing a good job in raising you, so it's up to us to punish you for your crimes." Daemon says while raising his hand, and a ball of dark purple demonic energy appeared on his hand with Nero narrowing his glowing eyes at her as Joanna puts on her brass knuckles, Roland pulled out a metal baseball bat, Jumba pulled out a plasma rifle, Pleakley pulled out a plasma bat, Logan shape-shifted into a four-armed beast and cracked his knuckles, Kaisa raised her glowing magical hands, Marcus morphed himself into a tall muscular man, Alfur pulled out a stapler and held it like a weapon, Astrid pulled out her spear, Frida pulled out a spiked plasma mace and twirl it around, David gripped his plasma bat tightly, Helper-X9 summoned a whole horde of dangerous-looking weapons from out of his back, Twig and Ivy got into battle poses and growled threateningly, Amun flared up with hot flames, and Tontu pulled out a comically huge plasma hammer.

"You made two biggest mistakes of your life, Marra. One, you tried to kill someone that I see as a Brother. Second, you decided to enjoy your victory all the way out here in a cabin...deep in the woods...at night...miles away from anybody being able to hear your screams." Hilda says with a furious glare while cracking her knuckles as Stitch lets out a rather evil, maniacal laugh, and the group started walking over to Angelica, who panted panickedly as she tried to frantically teleport out to safety but failed to do so thanks to the leather belt as she held up her arms.

"NO, NO, PLEASE, I'M SORRY! I PROMISED TO NEVER MESS WITH YOU ALL AGAIN! JUST DON'T HURT ME! NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Two and a Half Hours Later, we see the whole gang residing back inside Hilda and Stitch's Apartment Living Room as they were watching a cheesy monster movie on the TV with the lights turned off as Jumba, Pleakley, and Roland were sitting on the couch with Logan seated on a chair as Kaisa was sitting on his lap, Marcus was sitting on another chair with Alfur and Astrid sitting on the armrest together, Twig and Ivy were cuddling together in Twig's Doggy Bed, and the Kids were all sitting on the ground as Frida and David were sitting close to each other on the left while Hilda and Daemon were seated close to each other on the right as Stitch was lying between them and Amun, Helper-X9, and Nero could be seen sleeping near the Deerfoxes.

"How's everyone enjoying Early Movie Night?" Joanna asked cheerfully while walking back from the kitchen as she was holding onto a tray filled with a bunch of snacks as Hilda and the others mumbled happily, definitely requiring some much-needed rest and relaxation by watching a cheesy horror movie with your Friends and Family as they needed to cool off after what they did to Angelica the Marra...oh, and by the way, don't worry, they didn't kill her. That's a bit much, even for them, so all they did was basically beat up Angelica so severely that it caused her to run away from Trollberg forever and fly off into the horizon, hopefully, to never be seen again.

"You're hot chocolates are ready." A smiling Tontu says while coming out of a Nowhere Space Exit Hole with a tray filled with hot chocolates as he handed it over to everyone.

"Ah, this is delicious. Don't you think so, 626?" Jumba asked as Stitch turned to him and smiled while nodding as he drinks his hot chocolate and sighs in delight but accidentally summoned his wings as they collided against David.

"Ow! Stitch!" An annoyed David screamed as Stitch gave him an apologetic look.

"Sorry."

"You know, this is going to get some getting used to," Hilda says, not only referring to Stitch's new look but her scar as well as she rubbed it. "You know, I wonder how are we going to explain this to people?" Hilda says, not wanting to tell people the real reason she got the scar or else they will take Stitch away for being a 'rabid dog' as Frida turned to give her best friend a reassuring look.

"Oh, don't worry, Hils, I came up with a great lie. If people ask about your scar, just tell them that the Blackhound scarred you. Thankfully, since a bunch of people saw the Blackhound attack you, they won't think twice about your lie."

"Thanks, Freeds," Hilda says with a sigh of relief as she shared a fist bump with her Best Friend.

"But how are we going to explain what happened to Stitch? I don't think people will buy that he's a dog anymore." Marcus says awkwardly as Daemon smirks.

"Oh, there's no need to fret about that, everyone, because thanks to Stitch possessing some of my Demonic Powers, he has the natural ability to change his form to suit his needs, so if Stitch wants to look like his old self, all he has to do is think about it," Daemon says, surprising everyone as Stitch glanced down at his Demonic Form and closed his eyes in concentration as a dark purple demonic cloud covered his body and, once it dies down, everyone saw Stitch returning back to his normal self again.

"Ooh, cool," Stitch says while poofing back and forth from his Alien Form to his Demonic Form as he laughed giddily, and Hilda smiled at him but then frowned as a thought occurred in her head.

"Uh, Stitch? Do you mind if I talk to you a bit? Alone?" Hilda asked nervously as Stitch turned to her and nodded while morphing back into his Alien Form with a dark purple demonic poof as the Duo stood up from the floor and made their way over into their Shared Room to talk privately. "Stitch, I just want to say, I'm sorry for not being there with you when you needed me the most. You were dying, and I was too focused on getting that stupid badge that I couldn't see the obvious signs that you were glitching and what I said to you back then was truly unforgivable. I'm the true monster here. If you don't want to be my friend anymore, I understand." Hilda says while lowering her head, and tears ran down her face as Stitch stared at her emotionlessly for a few seconds before tearing up as he ran over to hug her.

"Don't worry, Hilda, Stitch forgives you," Stitch says, surprising Hilda as she separated from him.

"B-But why? I said all of those horrible things and-,"

"Youga didin noa waka saw grion no, os meega didon blama youga rof acata kiel that, tibit Stitch wala ysa hath youga ara TONKO a horrah fen. Forla hath monka ew dah meeka, youga wora awora hat kanda nad genga Giral hat meega'av awora knocka.

(You didn't know what was going on, so I don't blame you for acting like that, but Stitch will say that you are NOT a horrible friend. From the moment we had met, you were always the kind and gentle Girl that I've always known. You had helped me see the error of my ways and change me for the better and for that I will always truly be grateful to you. Besides, when I died, and Daemon came up with a way to save my life, you wanted to continue fighting to save me, and it worked. You WERE there when I needed you the most)," Stitch says, causing Hilda to tear up a bit due to feeling overwhelmed by the rush of emotions coursing through her body as Stitch brushed away her tears and eyed her scar guiltily as his ears lowered somberly. "If anything, I wanted to apologize for scarring you."

"Ah, it's alright, Stitch, I don't mind. I always wanted a scar anyway."

"Waka, gaba? (Wait, really?)," A surprised Stitch asked as Hilda nodded with a smile.

"Yep as, while I don't like the method of how I got the scar, I don't blame you for that. Besides, a true adventurer always has to have a cool scar, and now I can tell everyone that I was able to fight off the Blackhound with the scar to match." Hilda says with a smirk as Stitch smiled amusedly and nodded but then frowned worriedly as he looks down.

"Meega also sorry for ruining your Father's Book," Stitch says, causing Hilda to flinch, and took a deep breath to calm herself down as she gave him a calm, reassuring look.

"It's okay, Stitch. I understand that you have no control over your actions, and, while I will miss that book, I've read it millions times over, so I won't forget about it," Hilda says as Stitch sighs in relief. "Anyway, this was a really close call, so from now on, let's agree to hear each other out when the other says that there is something wrong with them. Our safety and health are more important than anything else. Deal?" Hilda asked while raising his hand as Stitch nodded.

"Deal," Stitch says while raising his hand to shake Hilda's hand as he then lowered his arm and looked away shyly. "S-So, Hilda, I remembered you saying earlier that I was the Little Brother that you never had. I-Is that true?"

"Oh...uh...yeah...is that weird?" Hilda asked worriedly as Stitch shakes his head.

"Naga, because...Stitch always saw you like a Sister." Stitch says, causing Hilda to gasp a bit and place her hand over her heart as she teared up, feeling genuinely touched by what he said as the Blue-Haired Girl leans down to kiss his forehead.

"Thanks, bro. Come on, let's go back and continue watching the movie." Hilda says as Stitch beams and nods, happy that he and Hilda were finally able to make amends as they were about to turn around and leave but stopped as Joanna popped her head in.

"Hey, Hilda, do you have a minute?" Joanna asked as Hilda raised an eyebrow but nodded as her Mother walked into the room and made her way over to sit down on Stitch's Bed while gesturing at her Daughter to do the same as she did, and Stitch walked over to sit beside Hilda. "So, Logan told me and the others about you being badgeless," Joanna says with a frown as Hilda flinched and looked away solemnly as her Mother gave her a worried look. "Sweetheart, why didn't you tell me that you haven't earned a single badge all year?"

"I-I...I didn't want to disappoint you, Dad, Roland, Jumba, Pleakley, and everyone else. I suck at being a Sparrow Scout, and I haven't earned a single badge all year. I always told myself that I could always earn another badge next time, but when the Ceremony was nearing, I don't know, I panicked, so I tried everything to get at least one badge before the Ceremony ended, but clearly, that didn't work out. You must think that I'm a failure of a Daughter, huh?" Hilda asked with tears in her eyes as Joanna stared at her in stunned shock before growing serious as she reached over to grab Hilda and pulled her into a hug.

"Hilda, no matter what you do or how much I get mad at you, I will NEVER look at you as either a failure or a disappointment. Sure, I'm not exactly thrilled to hear that you haven't done anything with the Sparrow Scouts, but honey, it's just a badge. It's honestly not that important."

"But it is to you and Dad, Mum. You said it yourself, our family is one of the greatest Sparrow Scouts in history, but thanks to me, our legacy is ruined. Dad might as well be ashamed of me." Hilda says while shedding tears as a guilty Joanna rubbed her hair.

"Well...uh...honey? I may have...lied to you about your Dad being in the Sparrow Scouts."

"Wait...what?!" A shocked Hilda asked with Stitch gasping dramatically in the background as Joanna nodded.

"Yeah, the truth is that I met your Father when we were teenagers, around 15, I think. I was already way out of the Sparrow Scouts by then, and your Dad was way too old to join, so he was never in the Sparrow Scouts. I just said that because I thought if I did, you would be interested in joining the Sparrow Scouts. I mean, you didn't want to join a cheesy club that your boring Mum was in, huh?" Joanna asked with a bitter smile as Hilda turned to her incredulously.

"What?! Mum, are you serious!? I would've still gladly joined the Sparrow Scouts even if Dad was never in it."

"Really?" A surprised yet heartwarmed Joanna asked as Hilda nodded with a warm smile.

"Yeah, while I love Dad, I also love you. It's why I wanted to earn a single Sparrow Scout Badge because I didn't want to disappoint you either, Mum, and you're not boring at all. You are one of the greatest Mums ever!" Hilda exclaimed cheerfully as Joanna teared up in joy for a bit and brushed it away as she chuckles.

"Thanks, love, I'm happy to hear that, but I do want to apologize for pressuring you about getting Badges. Trust me, you don't need to earn badges to show me how amazing you are because I know that you're the kindest, bravest, most selfless girl that I've ever known. I mean, come on, you were able to change a highly evil and dangerous illegal genetic experiment from bad to good and fought off Trolls, Nightmare Spirits, Evil Houses, etc. You don't need a badge to prove that." Joanna says while kissing her forehead as Hilda smiled widely and teared up again as she hugged her Mum.

"Thanks, Mum," Hilda says while lifting her head to kiss her Mother's cheek as Joanna giggled. "But, even though I know that I don't need to earn a badge to prove myself, I still feel bad for wasting an entire year of doing nothing in the Sparrow Scouts, so I promise to be more active and get more badges when the Sparrow Scouts start up again."

"He, he, he, I know you will, and I know that you will be the most Legendary Sparrow Scout ever. I'm sure that you will surpass me and Logan one day. Trust me, even your Cousin knows that. Isn't that right, Logan?" Joanna asked knowingly while glancing at the door as it opened, and a smirking Logan popped in.

"Yep," Logan says with a nod as Hilda and Stitch were shocked to see everyone eavesdropping on their conversation with their Friends and Family waving at them weakly before closing the door and running back to the Living Room as Hilda and Stitch shared a look before grinning as they laughed.

"Our family and friends are so weird and crazy...just how I like it," Hilda says with a smile, truly grateful and happy for the big crazy family that she and her Mother had gotten over the year as Joanna rubbed her Daughter's hair and gave Stitch a kiss on the nose before standing up from the bed as Joanna made her way out of the room, but stopped as a thought occurred to her head and frowned remorsefully as she turned to Hilda.

"Sweetheart, there's something that I have to tell you."

"What is it, Mum?" Hilda asked curiously as Joanna stared at her quietly for a few seconds and bit her lip as she wanted to tell the dark truth that she has been keeping from her Daughter ever since her Father's Death...but after taking a look into her innocent daughter's eyes, Joanna couldn't bear to tell her the truth as she instead smiled at her weakly.

"O'hana means family, and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten."

"I'm sorry, what?" A bewildered Hilda asked as Stitch looks confused as well, and Joanna blushed in embarrassment as she said the first thing that popped into her mind.

"O-Oh, that's just an old Hawaiian Saying that Martin told me about a while back when we had our Honeymoon in Hawaii. It means that since we are all a family, it means that we shall never leave each other behind or forget about each other. Remember that, okay?" Joanna says as Hilda beamed and nodded as the Young Woman smiled before turning around to leave the room as Hilda and Stitch watched her go suspiciously as they shared a look, figuring out that wasn't what Joanna wanted to tell them, but the Adventurous Duo didn't press her about it since it was probably not that important for them to know as Hilda and Stitch then jumped off the bed and made their way out of the room.

"J-Jellybean, I don't think we're in Trollberg anymore or even on Earth." A worried Tontu says as we cue over to a random planet in space and see her and Jellybean making their way through a grassy blue plain as they looked around and realized that the sky was green as there were two suns. "I hope Hilda, Stitch, and the others are okay, though," Tontu says with Jellybean nodding in agreement as they were about to continue walking, but then-

"Hilda and Stitch? Do you know who they are?" A deep and powerful voice rang out as Tontu and Jellybean froze a bit as they slowly turned around and gasped in shock as they spotted Jorgen and Valfreyja lying down beside them, seeming to have a small date by having a picnic with each other as Tontu and Jellybean froze a bit in fear, wondering how the hell they haven't noticed them as the Nisse nodded shakily.

"Y-Yeah, they are our Friends. They helped us get to safety when these Humans wanted to hunt us down but were forced to use a forbidden technique to get away from the Humans and ended up being teleported here. We don't know how exactly to get back home." Tontu says with tears in her eyes, and Jellybean whimpers sadly as Valfreyja gave them a reassuring, warm smile.

"Don't worry, you two. We're close friends with the Grand Councilwoman, and I'm sure that we can contact her and have her prepare a Spaceship for you two to go back home," Valfreyja says as the Nisse and Barghest stared up at her in shock, joy, and hope.

"Wait, seriously?!" A stunned Tontu asked as Jorgen nodded with a smile.

"Yes, anyone who is a friend of Hilda and Stitch is a friend of ours," Jorgen says as Tontu beams and hugs a happy Jellybean as they were ecstatic to be able to find some good people who will be able to bring them back home to Earth.
