Lilo and Stitch: Sprocket

     It was a beautiful day on the island of Kauai in the Hawaiian islands.  Lilo and Stitch were hanging out at Frenchfry's food hut, enjoying some of his healthy yet very tasty food.  They had just finished a routine monthly check on all the experiments they had found, making sure that each one was happy in there one true place.  "Cannonball is happy making waves.  Morpholomew is happy at the costume shop.  All the experiments at Mrs. Hasagawa's are happy.  Looks like all the cousins we found are happy where they are Stitch." Said Lilo.
     "Ih," said Stitch as he snarfed down a whole box of onion rings, including the box.
     "But we've still got a lot more experiments to find still.  Thanks to the Big Dummy, Jumba has to keep fixing the buggy, and Nani keeps hiding the hovercraft we got for christmas." Lilo sighed and said, "We need a more reliable means of transportation."
     Stitch drooped his big ears and said, "Ih.  Naga ride." He then noticed something under the porch of Frenchfry's food hut.  He then climbed off his chair, pulled a board out of the floor, and jumped down.
     "Stitch?  What are you doing?"  The little blue guy came back up with a small green ball in his hand.
     "Cousin," said Stitch as he handed the pod to Lilo.
     "An unactivated experiment pod!  Good work Stitch."
     Stitch smiled and said, "Mahalo."
     Lilo examined the pod for its number that identified it. "Lets see…  It says number two-five-zero." Stitch then said something in alien language to her. "That's right.  From the Technological and Scientific series.  I wonder what this one does."
     "Jumba!" Siad Stitch.
     "Yeah.  We better go show Jumba right away."  With that said, they headed for home, making sure that the pod they found didn't get wet.  But they forgot to put the board that Stitch removed back.

     Meanwhile, back at Jumba and Pleakley's red ship, the four-eyed evil genius was working on some sort of device.  "Lets see.  Atomic power fluxuator fluxing.  Inter-Dimensional rift generator functioning within exceptional peramiters." Suddenly he heard the blast-door open, followed by a girls voice.
     "Jumba?"
     "Huh?" He turned around and saw Lilo and Stitch walk into the small lab. "Oh, Little Girl and Six-Two-Six.  What is it that you want?  Jumba is rather busy doing genius work."
     "Sorry to bother you, but we found an unactivated experiment pod."
     "Oh, then genius work can wait.  Jumba always has time for cataloging experiments."  He then set the small device down on the counter, and it seemed to peek Stitch's interest.  "So, which one of Jumba's genius experiments did you mange to find?"
     Lilo showed him the pod and said, "It has the number two-five-zero on it."
     "Ah!  Experiment Two-Five-Zero.  Jumba remembers this experiment very well.  Was one of my most devious experiments!"
     "What does it do?"
     "Oh, Ex Two-Five-Zero has power to-" Suddenly Stitch pressed a button on the device that Jumba was working on.  Then it started to light up and shake in the little blue guy's hands. "NO!  MUST SHUT DOWN DEVICE NOW!!!!!"  But it was too late!  The small device in Stitch's hands shot a laser beam, and then a large crack opened up out of thin air, sucking them in like a black hole!  "AH!  EVERYONE!  DO NOT BE GETTING SUCKED IN TO RIFT GATE!!!!"  Suddenly the pod Lilo was holding got caught in the vacuum of the crack!
     "Oh no!  The experiment!" Lilo then jumped into the crack!
     "Lilo!" Stitch followed her in!  Dropping the device on the ground
     "Six-Two-Six!" Jumba let go and tried to follow them, but he was too late. The crack had sealed up before he could get the chance to jump in.  "Oh no.  This is really bad thing."
     Suddenly Pleakley came in all panicky! "What happened?!  I saw Lilo and Stitch enter here, then there was screaming, and I don't see them in here!  Where did they go?!"
     "Well, uh…  You see…  Little girl and Six-Two-Six got sucked up into inter-dimensional rift, possibly sending them into completely different reality."
     Pleakley just stared at him and then screamed at the top of his lungs while running all over the room! "What are we gonna do?!  If Nani comes home and finds out they're trapped in another reality, she'll have our heads!!!!!!"
     "I am fully aware of what taller sibling will do to us if she finds out.  But not to worry.  We can use rift-gate device to send them back here.  Just give me time to locate Six-Two-Six on navigation computer."

     Back in the event horizon, Lilo and Stitch kept chasing after the pod, tumbling around all over the strange tunnel.  Then they finally came out in an ally way, feeling very dizzy.  Lilo moaned and said, "Oh, my head feels like its spinning."
     "Ow.  Miga gawamba." Said Stitch holding his head.
     "Where's the experiment pod?"
     Stitch re-gained his footing and looked around. "Naga here."
     "Oh no.  We've got to find it before it gets wet!"
     "Ih." They left the ally, but then stopped at the end of a street with their mouths wide open. "Uh-oh."
     "I don't think we're in Kauai anymore Stitch."  They found themselves in a huge city with buildings so high that little sunlight shined down from above, and there was fog below them so thick that you couldn't even tell where the buildings began.  Everywhere, people were riding on the backs of large dinosaur-like creatures that came in all shapes, sizes, and colors. "How are we supposed to find that pod in such a big place?"

     Meanwhile, in another part of the city, the pod they lost was sitting right at the edge of a puddle in the streets.  And heading its way was Kit Wong and Lance Penn.  They were hulling a box of newly acquired dragon gear. "This is so drac!" Said young Lance. "It's a good thing Artha won that race yesterday, otherwise we would never have been able to get this sweet gear."
     "Don't let all this fancy gear get to you shorty." said Kit, "Some gear can't replace good old fashioned skills.  But we do need some of this stuff if we're ever going to enter any big league races.  Light-blue traction gear, blue speed gear…"
     "Don't forget the blue khata gear.  That's really going to help with the mag lifts." Lance then stepped in the puddle, splashing the experiment pod which none of them seemed to notice.  The pod then started to glow bright yellow. "What the…?" Lance and Kit watched as the yellow orb began to grow in size, and then let off a huge blinding light, forcing them to drop the boxes of gear and shield their eyes.  As the light dimmed down, they saw that in the orbs place was a bipedal dragon-like creature with yellowish-orange fur, pointed ears, a long snout, and bright blue eyes.
     "What in the…  Where did that dragon come from?" Said Lance.
     "I don't think it is a dragon." Said Kit, "At least not any kind of dragon I've ever seen."  They watched as the strange creature sniffed their newly acquired gear, then smack it's lips as if it was looking at something to eat.  Then out of it's mouth fired a long frog-like tongue that latched onto their new blue speed gear, then retract it into its mouth, eating the gear whole.
     "Did that thing just eat our gear?" asked Lance.  Then they watched as spikes similar to the blue speed gear began to grow out of it's back and tail.
     "More like absorbed it!  Quick, get the rest before-" The experiment then ate the rest of their gear before Kit could finish, "Never mind."  Just like before, the experiment began to grow features similar to the gear it just ate.  Then, using the traction gear it ate, it ran up the wall and then jumped onto another street above them, making a noise that sounded like laughing.
     "Artha's never going to believe this."
     "You got that right."

     Lilo and Stitch walked together in the city.  Not knowing that the pod they were looking for had been activated. "This place is kinda cool.  Everybody has their own dinosaur they can ride."
     "Jinga gi gaba?" Said Stitch.
     "Oh yeah.  How did we get here, and how do we get back home?" Lilo then bumped into a person who was standing with a crowd on the street. "Hey, what's going on?"
     "Parade?" Said Stitch.
     "Naw, these people seem way too excited for a parade." The two manage to squeeze through the crowd to the edge of the street.  Then suddenly see something zoom by! "Whoa!  What was that?"
     The voice of some announcer suddenly boomed around the area. "And there goes Moordryd Panne, finishing the first lap!  Followed by Artha Penn!  Only two more laps to go!"
     "Wow!  They even ride on them for racing!"
     "Cool!" Said Stitch as he and Lilo got all excited watching the race.
     At the Penn Stables tent near the track, Kit and Lance were explaining to their friend Parmon what happened to their new gear. "Oh please.  You expect me to believe that a yellowish dragon showed up and ate our new gear, and then gave it powers that the gear had?"
     "We're not making this up Professor!" said Kit.
     "There is no type of dragon that can eats draconium gear and then assimilates its abilities."  Suddenly there screams coming from the other racing crew tents.  "Oh now what?" When the Penn racing crew came out of their tent, they saw the creature they had encountered before, and it was eating the gear from the other racing crews!
     "We told you." Said Lance.
     "I don't believe it.  A dragon that absorbs any color of draconium gear!  Just look at it.  There's up to five different gear types showing up on it's body.  Like biological gear.  It's incredible!"  The experiment then headed for the track.
     "And now it's heading for the racers gear!"
     Back on the track, Moordryd and Artha were still racing each other. "Still falling behind Stable Brat?"
     "In your dreams Moordryd!" Just as they were about to finish the second lap, experiment 250 jumped in the middle of the track, forcing the two to stop their dragons!  Luckily they stopped just in time.
     "Hey!  Get out of the way you pesky dragon!" Yelled Moordryd as he pulled out his black energy drain whip, ready to use it on the yellowish creature.  But before he had the chance to use it, experiment 250 caught it with its tongue and ate it!  Then a tentacle with a hand shaped like the end of the whip came out of its back.
     "What in the world…." Said Artha.  Then the com-link on his saddle came up with Parmon on the video.
     "Artha!  You and Beau need to get away from that thing!  I don't know what it is, but it eats any kind of draconium gear and then assimilates its abilities.
     "Yeah Parm, I just saw it eat Moordryd's energy drain whip."
     Back in the crowds, Lilo and Stitch watched as the dinosaur-like experiment kept eating the racers gear. "We've got to stop her!"
     "Chubi chiba!" Stitch rolled onto the track and jumped onto 250's head, trying to keep its mouth shut so it can't eat any more gear.  250 struggled to get the blue guy off, but it wasn't working very well, until she rammed her face into a wall, forcing Stitch to let go. "Ow my head!" Said Stitch while 250 swallowed light-blue tentacle gear, obtaining its shocking tentacle abilities. "Uh-oh." 250 then used her new ability to shock poor Stitch!
     "Stitch!" Lilo rushed to his rescue.  But 250 was still mad and ready to attack.
     "Oh no, Beau, we gotta save them!  Use your mag lift!" Beau nodded in agreement, then his body started to glow as a mag beam shot out to drag Lilo and Stitch out of harms way, but it didn't work on them. "Huh?  Why isn't it working?" Suddenly he saw 250 eat green ramming gear, then started to run at them. "No time to waste.  Beau!  Mag me!" The red and blue dragon did so, sending Artha towards the two, pulling Lilo and Stitch out of the way while 250 rammed through the wall!
     "Oh no! 250 is getting away!" Said Lilo.
     "250?" Artha looked at Lilo. "You know what that thing is?"
     "Well…  It's a long story."
     "You can tell it once we get to safety.  Now you two hold on tight!" They took off on Beau, leaving Moordryd and his dragon on the track.
     "What was that all about?" Said Moordryd.

     Back at the Penn Stables, Lilo was telling her story to the Penn racing team.  "So you see, that yellow creature that kept eating your gear is a genetic experiment that me and Stitch need to catch so we can turn it from bad to good."
     "That explains why the mag lift didn't work on you two.  There isn't a single trace of draconium in your bones." Said Parmon.
     "Yeah, that's really fascinating professor, but I think we've got bigger problems." Said Kit.
     "I agree," said Connor Penn, "If this creature can consume dragon gear and acquire its abilities, there's no doubt that Word Panne will want it for himself."
     "Whoa!  I didn't even think of that!" Said Lance.
     "Word Panne?" Asked Stitch.
     "He's a really bad guy.  He's been trying to start a dragon-human war for a while now." Said Artha. "And if got his hands on that Experiment 250, then he could have a big advantage."
     "Oh no!" Said Lilo. "We've got to get her back before she falls into the wrong hands!"
     "But how do we do that?" Said Lance.
     "This experiment 250 likes eating dragon gear." Said Parmon "All we have to do is find some place where they sell dragon gear, and then try to capture it."
     Suddenly someone very short with blue hair showed up before them. "Stewardd?  What are you doing here?"
     "Oh Dragon Booster, we have a problem." said Stewardd, "A strange yellow dragon came to the Keepers hideout, and started eating our light-green gear!  And thats not all.  It even started to eat the grey gear made by the Mechanists!"
     "I think we better hurry up before that thing acquires a taste for something with a little more kick.  Like ancient gear!" Said Kit.

     Meanwhile, back at the Dragon Eye's hideout, Moordryd was talking to his lackey Cain. "You saw how that dragon-thing gained powers from the gear it ate?" said Moordryd, "If we could capture that dragon and send it to my father, he could find a way to make more like it.  Imagine, a whole army of dragons that can mimic the abilities of the gear they eat."
     "Oh I'm imagining it alright." said Cain "But how are we supposed to capture that thing?  You saw what happened back at the race track.  It kept eating everyones gear before they could have a chance to do anything to it."
     "Oh I'm well aware of that.  Which is why I have a plan to get it."

     Down in the depths of the city, experiment 250 was roaming around the Prophet's temple.  The place seemed to be abandoned, no a single human, or dragon was there.  250 sniffed all over the place, and eventually found a pile of orange dragon gear laying on the ground in an empty room.  250 smiled and entered the room, and started munching down.  Suddenly a cage-like wall closed in on the opening of the room, trapping her in.  Then Lilo and the others came out.
     "Hey, it actually worked." Said Lilo.
     "Of course, I knew it would." Said Parmon.  250 then tried to get out as best as she could.  But she couldn't break the bars.
     "Lilo," said Kit, "I think it's time to work that special gift you have on this thing."
     "You're right." Lilo walked up to the cage with Stitch beside her. "Hey, it's okay, we're not going to hurt you." 250 stopped what she was doing and listened to Lilo. "We just want to help you."
     "Miga?" said 250.
     "That's right.  We'll let you out, only if you promise to be good.  Okay?" 250 thought it over. "We'll give you a tasty pice of tech for you to eat." 250 smiled and nodded in agreement.  Then they opened the cage and gave her a nice pile of dragon gear to eat. "Good girl Sprocket."
     "Sprocket?" said Kit.
     "Yeah, that's what I'm naming her.  Cause she likes to eat technology."
     "Sounds like a good name to me." Said Artha.  Then Lance came running into the camber.
     "We've got trouble.  Moordryd and Cain are here."
     "Oh no.  They must be looking for Sprocket." said Kit.
     "Well they're not going to get her.  Not if the Dragon Booster has anything to say about it." Artha took the special amulet around his neck and said, "Release the Dragon!" Then he placed it on his gauntlet, transforming into the Dragon Booster while Beau's colors changed from red and blue, to black and gold!
     "Wow!" Said Lilo.
     "Ih, shiny." Said Stitch.  Then Moordryd and Cain showed up, with wraith dragons beside them.
     "Okay, hand over the yellow dragon, and no one gets hurt." Said Moordryd.
     "Go away Moordryd.  You're leaving this place empty handed." Said Dragon Booster.
     "Oh, I don't think so." Moordryd took out a remote, and suddenly the wraith dragons vanished.
     "Aw.  I hate it when they do that." Then Artha and Beau stated getting hit by the now invisible wraith dragons.
     "Chubi china!" Stitch jumped towards Moordryd's hand, grabing the remote from him.
     "Hey!  Give that back you little blue freak!"
     "Miga nala quwesta!" The little blue alien then raspberryed him!
     "Why you….." Moordryd's dragon then started to chase Stitch, but it kept missing him.
     "Missed me!  Missed me!  Now you gotta kiss me!" Said Stitch as he started climbing on the walls, mocking Moordryd and his dragon.
     "Stitch has Moordryd's wraith remote," said Parmon, "But they're still attacking Artha.  He needs more help."  Sprocket looked at the fight, then jumped in the middle of the crossfire, with a lot of adaptations coming out of her body.
     "What is she doing?"
     "Lending a paw." Said Lilo.  Sprocket then shot out her shocking tentacles mixed in with the energy drain hands.  They reached out all over the place, wrapping around the invisible wraith dragons, and draining them of their energy, making them visible again.
     "All right!  Way to go Sprocket!" Exclaimed Kit.  Artha and Beau were then able to defeat the wraith dragons,
     When the battle was over, Stitch jumped onto Sprocket's head, and crushed the wraith remote.
     "You've lost Moordryd." Said Dragon Booster, and then Moordryd and Cain fled the place.
     "Alright!  Way to go Sprocket!" Said Lilo.
     "Giga batalita!" Said Sprocket with a smile.  Suddenly a crack similar to what brought Lilo and Stitch to Dragon City opened up in the middle of the room, and Jumba's voice was on the other end.  "Little-Girl, Six-Two-Six!  You must be jumping into rift now!  Is only way to be getting back home!"
     "That's our cue!" Said Lilo. "Come on Sprocket!  It's time to go home."
     "Home.  O'hana." Said Stitch.  Then Lilo and the two experiments jumped in.
     "Goodbye everyone!"
     "Come back anytime!" Said Lance as the rift closed.  Leaving the Penn Racing team in the big empty chamber.

     Back in Kauai, Lilo Stitch and Sprocket were with Jumba and Pleakley, happy to be home.  "Oh you should have seen the place Jumba.  Everyone was riding on the backs of dinosaurs, and they had all these different types of equipment for racing and stuff.  Sprocket ate a lot of those."
     "Sprocket?" Asked Pleakley.
     "Yeah, that's what I named 250.  Which reminds me.  How long will she keep the powers of the tech she ate?"
     "Oh, Two-Five-Zero will keep her acquired abilities for all time.  And can access them anytime she wants."
     "Time?  Oh no!  I'm going to be late for hula class!"
     "But buggy is still under maintenance.  Will take long time to fix."
     Lilo sighed, "And Nani is still at work.  We'll never get there."
     Sprocket looked at her feeling sad, then suddenly she hatched an idea, and nudged on Lilo's back.
     "Huh?  What is it Sprocket?" Sprocket concentrated really hard, then a saddle-like thing came out of her back like scales. "A saddle?  Hey!  We can ride Sprocket to Hula class!  That's what your one true place can be, a mount for me and Stitch!" Sprocket happily jumped in joy, then squatted down for Lilo and Stitch to hop on.
     "Onward cousin!" Said Stitch, and they rode off into town!
