Are There Angels?

By Experiment 6462

A/N: Although I have given my take on what happens to Angel, I am still not entirely pleased with it… Compared against every single other experiment, she barely got a fair chance to prove herself. So I'm giving her a fair chance… by going back and changing some things that happened in Stitch! The Movie…

I am also returning to first-person POV with this story. It'll begin in Stitch's POV, and I may switch to others' POV depending on the situation. I have not abandoned 'Believe', just taking a small break from it...

As Dr. Hämsterviel was being carried onto the ship by a pair of guards, the Grand Councilwoman was determining what to do about my cousins. Initially, she wanted to evacuate the Earth and blow it up, along with my cousins.

But Lilo was trying to convince her to let the two of us find the experiments and put them in their one true place.

"That's crazy talk!" Pleakley cried. "Finding six hundred twenty-five…"

"Six hundred twenty-three," Jumba corrected him.

"Naga," I further corrected him, pulling my secondary arms out. "Six hundred twenty-two."

I held out a pink pod with the numbers 624 on it, grinning. Jumba, however, seemed less than pleased to see this pod.

"Experiment 624? How were you able to be gettingk your hands on that pod? Are you knowingk what 624 is beingk capable of?"

To his great surprise, I answered, "Yep. 624 was designed to return any experiments that were turned good back to evil, through a song she sings. Her effect, however, fails to work on any experiments created after her. So, 625 and myself are immune to her effect."

"She is beingk too big of risk to take chances with. Give me pod, 626."

"Naga. She's the responsibility of Lilo and myself to reform."

"It is not so simple, 626. The siren-y song of 624 is not limited to effectingk experiments. Her song will be workingk on basically anyone except yourself and 625."

I frowned at that.

'Well Jumba… it looks like you outdid yourself with this experiment… A real cutie, but if no one can really help her… it's not looking good,' I thought.

"So you're saying if I want to reform her, I'll have to do it… alone?"

"If you are wantingk to do such a thing, then yes. But I will be warningk you right now. She may not be able to be turningk you to evil, but please do not be lettingk yourself be swayed by 624's good looks. If she is to be realizingk that you are hooked on her beauty, she will be manipulatingk you to be gettingk her way," he warned me.

I nodded. That really didn't come as too much of a surprise, but by that time it was too late. Just that little picture of her I had seen from the container was enough to draw me in, and choose to save her before Lilo got rid of the container…

(The day before…)

"Wait, Stitch!" Lilo told me, right before I dumped the container into the tub. "We don't need all of them. Just look for one that can recharge the ship."

I pulled the container back down, and started browsing through the experiment catalog. I didn't know how Jumba had categorized the experiments, so I just started at the end, and worked my way back towards the beginning. First came me, then the one prior to me, 625, who, if successful, would have been the last experiment instead of me. Then came 624.

'Hmmm… interesting design… let's take a closer look,' I told myself. 'If Lilo asks, I can just claim that I thought maybe she produced electricity from her antenna.'

"Experiment 624," the container announced, pulling up a larger picture of her. "Primary function: Conversion of good beings to evil."

I grinned as a larger picture of her came up, but when the container said she made good to evil, I sighed and frowned.

'Then I guess it's hopeless. We're never going to need her…'

"Stitch! Don't worry about that one, just keep looking for one that can charge up the ship!"

(Present time)

Then I grinned, realizing just how lucky I was to have gotten this pod… if I had been any slower, then Gantu might have gotten me, or her pod might have landed somewhere on the island, and it would probably be a long while before I saw her again.

(Earlier…)

As Lilo and I boarded Gantu's ship, Cobra tried to catch us, without success.

"Container ready, select experiment," the computer said, as we left Earth's atmosphere.

Dr. Hämsterviel chuckled evilly, and said, "So many nasty experiments! I shall wreak mayhem on the stinky Galactic Empire!"

I surprised him and Gantu by swinging down, upside down.

"Thank you!" I told them, grabbing the container and going back up above, near a closed window.

"What!" Hämsterviel cried.

"You little trog!" Gantu growled.

I tossed the container to Lilo, and then hopped behind Gantu. As Lilo held his attention with the container, I climbed up his back, and motioned for Lilo to toss it to me.

"Pesky Earthling!" Gantu yelled.

"You want it?" she teased. "Catch!" she cried, throwing it towards him.

I intercepted the container, and hopped away, dodging plasma shots from Gantu's blaster.

"Meega nala kweesta!" I taunted my enemies, blowing a raspberry and wiggling my ears.

Hopping mad, Hämsterviel cried, "Get them back, get them back!"

Gantu decided to fire a net at me. In one fluid motion, I grabbed it, swung around, and used the net as a whip, to disarm Gantu. The blaster slid along the floor as he cried out in surprise.

Lilo had crawled down to some controls, and looked back at that window.

"The window!" she remarked, opening it with a nearby switch.

The window opened up, and acted as a vacuum. This acted as the perfect diversion.

'Now or never!' I thought.

I quickly tapped the container until it got to Experiment 624, while pulling one of my secondary arms out quickly. I tapped it again. A pink pod with the number 624 on it came out. I placed it in my secondary arm, retracted it, and set the container back to it being ready.

"The window's open!" Gantu yelled as I did this.

"Warning! Window open!" the computer also announced.

I tossed the container to Lilo, who cried, "Be free, cousins!" and threw it out the window.

"No!" Gantu roared, running and just grabbing the container.

But just when he relaxed, the top came open, and the 623 remaining pods spilled out over Hawaii…

(present time)

Now I turned to Lilo. I knew she would need my help to catch my other cousins… but if we neglected 624 until later, she could come to cause us major troubles…

But Lilo had been paying attention to Jumba's words.

"Stitch, you go ahead and reform this experiment yourself. I understand what could happen. I can wait for you to reform her, and then we can all work together to get the remaining experiments!"

A grin crossed my face, and I hugged Lilo.

"Mahalo," I told her. Turning to Jumba, I asked, "Is it alright if I use your ship for her to stay in, and for me to work with her?"

"I would rather you were not usingk my ship to do such a thing… but this is beingk an extreme case, so I will let you. Is there anything else you are goingk to be needingk?"

"Just to make sure that no one else comes in… whether you guard the entrance yourself, or set up some sort of barrier…"

"Consider that as to beingk already done."

But even with all of that, I knew I would have my work cut out for me…
