Jumba stood back and watched as the experiment pod landed in a contained cup of water. He had designed 628 with “undefined purpose, as long as it is causes chaos”. Even he, evil genius scientist that he was, had no idea what kind of havoc it would cause.
The bright yellow if the activating pod suddenly burst into pieces, and through a thick cloud of smoke, Jumba could see his newest evil creation!
Like many of the later 600 series, it had stich’s powers, general build, and features. This experiment was not, however, simply and upgraded version of 626. It was larger, and black. It’s pattern was the same as stitch, but instead of blue and darker blue, black and red. Rather than attack everything in sight, such as 627 had done, it simply sat down and watched curiously.
“What does it do?” said a small girls voice next to Jumba’s knee. He looked down. Lilo, holding her doll, Scrump, was looking up at him.
“Whatever it is wanting, heh!” he cackled. “628 was designed to cause evil; unlike 627, it is not PURE evil. It is evil without purpose. Will cause untold chaos when time is right. Until then, we has no way of knowing what it will do.”
“But you built it” said Lilo. “Can’t you just turn off the ‘evil activation’?”
“Little girl does not understand evil genius explanation. Is not like 254(Mr.Stenchy), who was on a timer. This experiment will release evil when he is good and ready. Could be in 5 seconds. Could be never, heh” he chuckled again.
“Well, can we let him out at least?” asked Lilo. “we need to find his one true place.”
“Uh….I suppose so. No harm in seeing what little girl and 626 will find with new experiment.” Said Jumba. “But remember…concentrated evil may be more dangerous than pure evil.”
He pressed a button, and the experiment container opened with a hiss. 628 looked around, sniffing a little. He hopped down, with Stitch like precision. He scuttled around, and was about to leave the room as Pleakly walked in.
“What you got there- WHA!” he yelled upon catching sight of 628. “What does this little monster do?”
“we don’t know yet. Jumba just made it.” Said Lillo innocently.
“Jumba! You know very well that the Galatic Council woman said no more illegal genetic experiments! This violates-“
“Um…Pleakly?” said Lilio quietly. “ I think its gone.”
“What! Where!” He turned around, knotting himself in his frenzy to locate the “monster” .
“through door. While you were ranting, heh” jumba said.
“If he’s gone he could cause planet wide panic and mayhem! Where’s Stitch when you need him!” said Pleakly, then stopped realizing what he had said. “Wait, where is the little monster anyway?”
“Um…He’s…checking in with some cousins.” Said Lillo after a pause. “He misses them.”
“well, get him here now! We need to catch that experiment!” said Pleakly Sternly.
However, when they walked outside Jumba’s bedroom, they saw Stitch and 628 outside, each gazing at each other. 628 was mirroring each of Stitch’s moves, and wasn’t letting him pass. Stitch growled.
“Cousin! Itch!” he said.
“Koi-san…Ic!” said 628 hoarsely, trying to repeat Stitch.
“I think I’m gonna call him Warp. Cause he’s like a warped version of Stitch, but he’s not as evil as 627.” Said Lilo.
“Warp…” said Warp, trying out his new name. He turned away from Stitch and looked back at Lilo. Suddenly, his eyes turned red and he began to laugh evilly; he sprinted from the room and out the door. Unfortunately he forgot to open it. The door now had a new Warp-shaped hole where the dog-door should have been. The group looked at it for a second before Lilo and Stitch ran outside, and saw him disappearing into the distance.
“where’ he going?” asked Pleakly worriedly, following them.
“Eh, most likely to cause destruction. 628 has gotten some idea from little girls name. Better hurry, before he truly activates.” Said Jumba, also coming onto the porch.
“What do you mean, truly?” asked Lilo worriedly.
“628 function is to cause chaos. He clearly has plan to complete that. If you stop him, he may revert to original programing. Jumba may also be able to stop coding that calls for destructive part of chaos.” He said.
“C’mon Stitch!” cried Lilo, and ran down the stairs to the dune buggy. Stitch leaped into it form the stairs, and quickly started the engine.
They caught up to Warp in the towns square. This time however, he wasn’t alone. He had…
“Holio! What are you doing!” The little pink experiment stuggled weakly, but War had a tight grip on him.
“Naga Cousion! Naga! Cuda!” Stitch called.
“Mega nadda questa!” called Warp. He scrambled to the top of a building, and Stich quickly followed.
“Grrrr”. The two experiments faced each other. Stitch’s extra arms appeared, and Warp smiled. Suddenly, extra arms also appeared from his sides, but he also grew wings.
“What! Stitch doesn’t have wings!” cried Lilo.
“628 is having powers of multiple experiments!” called Jumba. “He is also learning from surroundings. He sees 626 is grounded, so he has flight advantage.”
Looking up, Lilo a strange portal forming in the sky. It looked like Holio’s work, but instead of the red portal that she was used to seeing when he was working, there was a purple one, and lightning flashed out of it.
With a tremendous whooshing noise, the portal began sucking in hundreds of experiments and experiment pods. Even the ones that Lilo had never found, or turned to good, or been stolen by Gantu and Hamsterviel. All 629 of them were sucked in, and slowly, the portal began closing. As the experiments were sucked in however, all the experiments began reverting to pod form.
“jumba! What’s happening!” Lilo yelled, while Stitch was still grappling with Warp.
“Your ‘warp’ name must have caused him to choose a portal based description! He is sucking in all experiments, and sending them to alternate dimension, to cause chaos somewhere else!” Jumba replied.
Warp let out an evil laugh, then suddenly pushed Stitch away and flew away into the portal he had created. Stitch regained his footing and tried to follow, but Lilo held his hand.
“Let him go! If you follow, you’ll just get sucked in too!” she said. Stitch looked on in hopelessness as his cousins, all 629 of them gone forever. To where, not even Jumba knew.
But you dear Reader, are luckier. I shall tell you the tale of Jumba’s illegal genetic family, and where they ended up.
In a little town called…
Pony Ville
Twilight Sparkle felt the rupture before she saw it. She looked up from the book she was reading in alarm, and trotted over to the window.
“What in Celestia’s name?” she wondered out loud. Suddenly, there came a loud knocking at her door. Confused, she trotted over to open it, and saw her hyper-energetic pink friend bouncing up and down.
“It’s doozy twilight! Just like my Pinkie sense said it would be!” she said jovially.
“Yes, Pinkie, but what’s going on?” Twilight asked.
Pinkie stopped bouncing. “You mean you haven’t seen it? Well, c’mon then! Something weird is happening in town.” She turned and proceeded to bounce up the street to the town square. Twilight followed her, curious as to what was causing the disturbance.
It felt like an earthquake, but it was constant steady rhythm. Twilight looked into the sky to see strange winds blowing…no, not blowing; being sucked in. The currents were being dragged into the…oh Ceslestia have mercy…
Twilight and Pinkie had arrived at the source; a huge portal, black, with forking purple lightning, was flashing constantly. The swirling vortex was simultaneously sucking and blowing; suddenly, with a tremendous crashing noise, it collapsed in on itself. The huge explosion rivaled the sonic rainboom, but this one was black and purple.
“What in the world?” wondered Twilight. Suddenly, with a sound like a gunshot, the portal re-opened, but only for a second. In that second, a small, round ball hurtled out of it and hit Twilight squarely in the forehead. “Ow!” she cried, rubbing the spot. She didn’t see the small pod, marked “513” roll away, or that it eventually hit a puddle.
With a soft hissing and a bright flsh of light, the experiment pod activated. It was a short, four legged experiment, with jumbas nose and stitchs eyes. But what really set it apart was its flat, board tail. It looked like a purple ankleasaurs. It looked around at the quiet village and chuckled. Suddenly, with a tremendous “thwack”, it bought its tail down on the road, causing a huge earth quake to spilit the road in half. Ponies began screaming as the ground trembled and shook, and they crowded into houses, which toppled and fell.
Richter, for it was he, laughed again, and lumbered off to find another area to destroy. Meanwhile, Twilight and Pinkie felt the vibrations from the earthquake, but when Twilight asked pinkie about it, she simply said “I dunno. Let’s go find out!”
The two mares galloped back to the spot, and were horrified to see the destruction caused by the one experiment. Ponies sporting broken bones, or trying to move friends from out of the rubble; it was awful.
Suddenly, Pinkie grabbed Twilight and pointed with a rigid hoof toward an alley way.
“LOOK! There it is!” she cried.
“Pinkie, there’s-“ Twilight started to say, but stopped as she saw Richter. He growled, and began to bring up his tail for another swipe at the ground, but she used her magic to create a trampoline, sending him rocketing into the sky. He howled, but Twilight teleported him to their location. He looked terrified, and wouldn’t open his eyes until he was sure it was really ground underneath him. Then, he looked pleadingly at the two mares who had caught him.
“Aw Twilight, he’s adorable!” said Pinkie. “But what do we do with him now?”
“What in the hay is goin’ on ‘ere?” said a southern voice behind them. The two turned to see Apple jack behind them, with a cart full of apples.
“this creature just destroyed half of ponyville…with his tail!” said Pinkie excitedly. “can you imagine how strong he is?”
“Is that so…well, if he’s willing to reform, ah’d be willing to use him to buck apples.” Said Applejack thoughtfully. Richter looked up quickly and nodded vigorously, then walked over to Applejack and nuzzled her neck to show his apperacation.
“Well, I guess that settles it.” Said Twilight. “Whatever these things are, they need to be caught, then put to some use. Now, if only we knew what they were…”
Without warning, there was another gunshot noise, and a small computer came shooting out into the area.
“Now what?” said Twilight exasperated.
Explanations and 375( Part 1)
The computer screen flickered to life. Twilight and Pinkie waited for the screen fuzz to subside, then watched as a video message was relayed.
“Hello? Is this thing on?” said a strange being. “Hi. I’m Lilo. I’ma little girl from Hawii. If you’re seeing this, hopefully you also saw the weird portal thing that just closed. Well, what just happened was that a bunch of illegal genetic experiments created by my uncle jumba came through to your world. You need to find them and find their one true place before…
“Before entire planet is going KA-PLOOEY” a huge round four eyed face suddenly thrust itself into the screen. “If you is not finding each experiment pod before it is activating, then can be causing chaos where ever they are landing. Could be causing Chaos over entire planet!” Jumba gently moved Lilo off the chair and sat down in front of the camera.
“Now, listen to Jumba. As far as I is knowing, is no way for you to send experiments back to little earthy planet. So, you, whoever you are being, is having to find all experiments and make sure they is turned to good. Be cafreul though” he said in an earnest voice, each experiment is having powers beyond what many beings is having. There are 629 of them, and each has a different power. This computer database should tell you each ones powers…and names given by little girl.” The video ended, leaving Pinkie and Twilight flabbergasted at the sudden responsibility they now had.
“629 weird monster things!” exclaimed Pinkie. “Wow! And we gotta keep em all in here?”
“No, Pinkie. We just need to find them, and put them to work…but yeah. That’s a lot of work…” Twilight sighed. “I don’t even know what they are! They are so many of them, and they could appear at anytime… At least we have this data base now. That should help anytime one of them appears.” She looked up into the sky.
“Well, we shouldn’t have to deal with anymore of them for a while at least.” The two of them turned around, Twilight taking the computer in her mouth and carrying it home to the libaray, while Pinkie hopped back to Sugarcube corner.
“Oh, hello Pinkie.” Said Mrs. Cake. “What was all that commotion outside?”
“Oh, you know. Just a buncha aliens coming through a portal from another dimension. We caught one and Applejack took it back to work on the farm.”
“That’s nice dear.” Said a distracted Mrs. Cake. “Could you go in the back and start frosting those cupcakes? We have an order to fill out, and Mr. Cake is home with the children.”
“Okie dokie, Mrs. Cake!” said Pinkie happily. She trotted into the back kitchen, and saw the rows of still unfrosted cupcakes. She opened the refrigerator door and drew out a boxful of cherries. She was singing to herself, and so she didn’t hear the “pop” as the portal reopened and deposited another experiment pod into the cherry container.
The experiment pod bore the number “375” and was green in color. Pinkie didn’t notice it until she started placing cherries on the now frosted cupcakes.
“Ew…rotten” she blanched. “down you go!” she said, tossing the “cherry” into the sink. She went outside to check for Gummy, and so didn’t see the flash of light as Phantasmo’s pod activated. The green, genie like experiment giggled before possessing the cupcake tray and throwing them around the room. Pinkie returned with her pet in her mouth, only to drop him as she began screaming.
Mrs. Cake hurried inside. “Pinkie, what’s-“she gasped as she saw the frosting covered room. “PINKIE!” she said angrily. “I know you like cupcakes, but this is out of hand!”
“But…it wasn’t me Mrs. Cake!” said Pinkie, “It was…HIM!” and she pointed directly at Phantasmo, who promptly disappeared into a cake. Mrs. Cake looked around, but saw nothing. Suddenly, the cake launhed itself at her, and Phantasmo flew out the window, still giggleing, as Pinkie helped Mrs. Cake remove the frosting.
“Oh my goodness! What was that?” she gasped.
“I told you! It was an alien!” said Pinkie as she grabbed gummy and galloped out the door, “ and I need to catch it!”
