Chapter IV
Jumba had finished building the memory-finding machine that Stitch and
Pwing had requested. The machine look like a black dentist's chair
with one black lamp curling up over the top of it. Twelve wires
dangled from the edge of the lamp; they were to be connected to
Pwing's head and burrow into her brain to retrieve memories.
Lilo just so happened to walk in just as Pwing was hooked up to the
machine. "What's going on?" Lilo asked.
"We," Jumba replied, "are about to understand the
attacks on the Experiments by the Donors."
The memory-finding machine was hooked up to Jumba's Experiment
database, which was a green oval-shaped laptop; this was how they were
going to see Pwing's memories. Stitch turned off the lights, Lilo
closed the blinds, and Jumba turned on the machine.
A low hum filled the room as the machine began to work its wonders.
The first memory they saw was that of the doomed planet, Shiganaran
(the original homeplanet of the Shigas, Pwing's species), as it was
destroyed by the giant asteroid.
They could hear a child's voice over the laptop's speakers:
"They're gone. I'll never see them again." This, Lilo,
Stitch, and Jumba realized, was the voice of Pwing: she had been only
a child when the dreadful deed happened.
And then, for the first time, Lilo and Stitch saw Queen Tizrah.
She was a bright orange color, with the common blood-red eyes of a
Shiga (Pwing was a rarity; hers were amber). But there was something
different about her; her eyes were filled with kindness, and she was
almost...beautiful.
They heard Tizrah's voice, a deep, calm, authoritative voice, much
like that of the Grand Councilwoman's. She asked Jumba what he wanted
with them, Jumba replied...well, you should know the story.
The memory machine skipped ahead to a time after Queen Tizrah's
unfortunate death (she had given her life during the creation of
Experiment 624, as she had had a vision of Experiments 626 and 627,
and wanted to part of that evil), past Stitch's creation and Jumba's
arrest by the United Galactic Federation, and to a time after
everything had been done, and something else was beginning.
A Shiga was surrounded in shadow, hiding his features. They could
hear him speaking in low tones with other Shiga, the second one a
female.
Pwing's voice was heard. She sounded drugged as she slurred,
"Oglac...what...are...?"
Oglac--the male Shiga--replied, "All will be well, Pwing. All
will be well..."
The female Shiga handed Oglac a green computer chip. A silver knife
came into view, and disappeared as it began to cut into Pwing's skull.
Her pained groans could be heard as the kinfe began to reach her
brain. Then, Oglac slipped the computer chip into her brain, causing
Pwing to cry out it pure pain, horror, and defiance. Then, the screen
went blank, and the machine shut off.
Pwing rubbed her eyes and hopped off of the chair. "Just as I
thought," she muttered, "Oglac's been putting those computer
chips into the Donor's brains, then using them to try to kill off the
Experiments."
"But, why?" Lilo questioned. Pwing quickly told her what
she had told Stitch earlier.
"But, enough of that," Pwing suddenly stated, "We must
get ready. There is a Kayotiyo tonight."
Kayotiyo's were meetings of the Experiments, so recent news could be
told, warnings heeded, and judgements carried out. Everyone in
attendance--the Experiments that had currently been discovered as well
as Lilo, Victoria (Angel's owner), and Pwing--had to wear a bright
orange jumpsuit, and speak only in Ohanan, the Experiment's language
(Lilo and Victoria were provided with translaters that would let them
listen and speak in Ohanan).
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Lilo snapped, "We
gotta go now, or we'll be late!"
And with that, the three scrambled away.
Dr. Jumba Jukiba was a large, purple alien with four eyes. He was a
formerly evil scientist (now one of the good guys) who created Stitch
and the six hundred twenty-five other Experiments by using DNA codes
from the Donors--Pwing, for example, was D5--for their powers and
other random codes from other aliens throughout the universe for their
outwardly appearances.
