Okay, quick note here before we get started. I AM going to ask around to see if I can use some other authors' experiments, but I will also use some from the show, and if possible, I might have a few of my newer ownership thrown in. Which basically means the odds of you seeing an experiment that isn't from anyone else's stories or my previous one or from the TV is pretty high. Okay, also I'd like to announce that I will start another story soon, one that is only SLIGHTLY related to this one and The New Experiments...with that out of the way, let chapter 1 of Trapped in the Lab begin!

A drop of water fell from a pipe in the ceiling, causing Syler's eyes to flash open. Slowly getting to his feet, he looked around. 'Don't tell me Jumba remodeled his ship.' He thought to himself, noting the whitewashed titanium walls. 'Wait...this isn't Jumba's ship.' He realized, looking around again. 'Hey, anyone I know there?' he called. Surprisingly, 636, the one who was usually silent, responded.

"Yeah...you know that naptime ended five hours ago, right?" came the sniping experiment's response, stepping out of a shadow.

'Easy for you to say...speaking of which, how long was I out?' Syler asked, amused.

"Five hours...I have good news and bad news." 636 said suddenly.

'What?' the fox asked, his tone going serious.

"Good news: everyone is okay. Including the three betas, or 647-650 as they are right now. The bad news is that somehow, we got blown into an alternate dimension." 636 said, curious to see how Syler would react.

'SAY WHAT?!' Syler screamed suddenly.

"Whoa, relax. Even 635 took it better than that. The fact is, Jumba is working for the Galactic Federation right now.... we are on Turo.... and unfortunantly, I'm out of juice." 636 said, backing up a step.

'Hold up. Did you say Turo? As in the capital of the Galactic Federation? As in where we are supposed to be illegal?' Syler asked incredulously.

"Well I see you know some things...but yeah. To further complicate things, you are the lowest numbered experiment who can remember being on Earth. So you can guess the confusion going on." 636 sighed.

A little while later, Syler (who had managed to find everyone else) was busy sleeping on a couch of sorts. Mediator, Tria, and Lilo were trying to figure out what to do next. 635, 636, and Keoni were busy playing something that looked oddly like Chinese checkers. The other experiments were either in the cafeteria or training.

"So what do you think we should do? If he can't make another blast like that, we're stuck here." Mediator said.

"I dunno. Hamsterveil's lab was nothing compared to this. Not to mention the fact that he did say we'd only be stuck here a month. So I say we adapt." Tria said. Lilo just looked over at 636.

"I'm not entirely sure he can do another Shadow Merger. Look at his antenna." Lilo said. "They were all black before he did it. Now the tips are silver. It could be a sign he's used it up."

"You know, you may be right. But what I'm amazed at the most is the fact that anyone here knows English." Mediator said as 221, Sparky in the other dimension, buzzed past.

"Yeah, that is amazing in a way.... but then again..." Tria mused. At that time, a somewhat tan raptor-looking experiment raced into the room. Everyone looked up in surprise.

'644?' Syler asked, half asleep still. 'When were you activated?'

"Beats me...I can't tell time." The raptor responded. "You know how many times those guards around Jumba's secret room nearly let me in?"

"No, tell us." Mediator said dryly. "Show-off." She muttered under her breath. She barely even knew this experiment and it already got on her nerves.

"17." 636 said suddenly.

"That's right. You're psychic?" 644 asked.

"No, I guessed." 636 said, exchanging a high-five with 635, who had told him secretly.

"Okay then. Anyways, I've got to go see the council members. New experiments always have too." 644 said before suddenly disappearing. No one was too surprised at that. They had all been informed by 636 and 635 of what was going on shortly after waking up.

"You know, I might just go watch. Seeya!" 636 said, slipping into a shadow right after placing the winning move in the game. He arrived in another shadow in a slightly bigger room where Jumba, the Grandcouncil Woman, three raptor guards, and several other aliens were discussing whether or not 644 should stay at the lab or join the Galactic Navy. Slipping back into the shadow, he arrived in no other place than the cafeteria, where a food fight was currently taking place. At the forefront of one of the sides was a 627 that wasn't evil. Commanding the other side was 637, who oddly enough, broke Jumba's trend by looking nothing like any previous experiments. Instead, it was a medium sized wolf-dragon looking experiment.

Okay, how's that for a first chapter? I've introduced TWO new experiments that are mine (no, it's not the same 637 as anyone else's.), had a food fight involved, laid out the entire story map from here, and managed to keep it from being boring. Pretty good for a first chapter, don't you think? Yes, it could be better. I'll do a bio for one of the experiments on the next chapter, as this one would be a bit much to take in with a bio. Anywho, please review!
