Part 4 With all the monster movies and everything else Stitch had gone through yesterday, it was little surprise for the blue alien to find himself in another of his nightmares. This one however, was different from his other ones that simply involved him growing larger as his rampage through some nameless city progressed. From the start, he was not surrounded by tall, concrete structures and standing on a road with countless parked cars just waiting for him to toss while he was small and stomp on once his feet went up several hundred shoe sizes. Instead, he was in a more rural area with only residential houses around that he could easily reduce to rubble before he’d surpass ten feet tall. Seeing them, Stitch couldn’t feel his heart race in the slightest. However, in the distance, a short trek from him in his current size and a handful of ground-splitting stomps with him at skyscraper proportions, was a city more worthy to be rampaged by a monster of his calibre. But, as Stitch continued to gaze upon it, he didn’t feel his usual urges that made his lips curl, his blood rush, and his crotch tingle. He didn’t start rushing at it, growing larger with each step and even turned away from it without giving it so much as a second thought. “What am I doing?” 626 wondered, seeing the world through Dream Stitch’s eyes and feeling what he did, but couldn’t participate beyond being a spectator as he went along for the ride. “Why am I not trying to flip over buildings and crush cars with my patookie?” “Yaka tak,” came a voice that Stitch instantly recognized as Scratch’s. Turning to see him, he was hurrying over. This was the first time his brother was in one of his dreams adding to the intrigue at what was going to happen this time. Stitch could feel a bit of excitement course through his body as his brother approached him looking equally in the mood to have some fun. “Tooki bah wah bah. Time to play Kaphong.” “We are playing monster?” asked Stitch,a big smile spreading on his face from the suggestion. “But we don’t have anything we can destroy.” “Just leave that to me,” Scratch replied with a confident smile that also had a bit of deviousness in the twinkle of his eye. Stitch had no clue what Scratch had in mind, but he watched as Scratch revealed the two long protrusions of antennae emerge from his skull. Next, concentrating a little, they began to glow blue before a beam fired out from them and started to create miniature buildings in the ground the beam swept across. At their current size, Stitch and Scratch were already towering over the structures, making them appear like giant monsters from contrast. “Can he really do this or is this just part of my dream?” wondered Stitch as he looked at the buildings and found that they were detailed to appear just as real as the actual, full-sized structures. They still lacked people and the buildings felt hollow to the touch and far easier to wreck than the real McCoy, but it was still an impressive faux metropolis that Scratch created nonetheless. Before Stitch was able to finish viewing the place, however, a roar from his brother, followed quickly by the smashing of a building drew his attention back to Scratch. He watched as he stomped on the building and reduced it to rubble before swinging his fist right through another building to break it in half. Watching it collapse into a pile of itself, Scratch couldn’t stifle a snicker and at what he had done. After doing that, he stopped wrecking and looked at Stitch. “Stitchy’s turn,” Scratch said, pointing at him. Stitch looked at his surroundings, seeing what there was to break and spent a few moments deciding where to begin, but he didn’t make a move on any of the breakables. He could feel his usual impulses to destroy, but he wasn’t acting on them. Seeing this, Scratch approached Stitch to pat him on the back. “Heegata no feebee,” he encouraged him with a smile. “It’s just a game. Just try to have fun.” Cracking a smile and nodding happily, Stitch replied with a simple, “Ih,” before making a fist that he used to punch through a building like Scratch had done before. Pulling his arm up, he broke through several floors and then the ceiling with effortless ease. Smile stretching wider, Stitch then dropped his fist back down to hammer the remains of the structure and admire the first pile of rubble he created like it was a work of art. Turning toward Scratch, his brother gave him a thumbs up of approval. “There you go. Now, let’s keep on playing,” he encouraged his fellow, blue monster. “Ih,” agreed Stitch with a joyful as well as naughty cackle in his voice as they went about destroying the rest of the fake town surrounding them. They wrecked, broke and demolished everything in sight, either through pure intention or accidentally in their efforts to destroy something else. Either way, the once great faux city that Scratch had made mere minutes ago now looked in almost absolute ruin as they worked to finish off the last bits still standing. The more destruction Stitch caused, the more he discovered how much he truly enjoyed it. Of course, he knew he had been created for the very purpose of being a destructive monster that’d wreck anything and everything he came into contact with, but for so long this genetic desire to destroy had been restrained and neglected for so long that his original programming had been deeply buried in his subconscious and all but forgotten. Now, however, while having some innocent fun with his bro, those destructive yearning had begun to leak out, giving Stitch a taste for destruction that would eventually turn into a hunger for it once this game of theirs proved insufficient to satisfy him anymore. Scratch kept an eye on Stitch, snickering with devilish glee as the desired effect of their fun was working even better than he could have hoped. With just the destruction of one fake city, his brother was already returning to his more violent nature, at least while viewing what he was doing as a harmless game. Looking into the distance, where the real deal was, he snickered at the thought of Stitch going on a rampage through that at proportions to match how he was to their model city. However, returning his focus to Stitch who had run out of buildings to break and had nothing left to stomp but rubble into smaller bits of debris, the high he had been getting was waning away with his interest. “Better give him a few more warm up rounds to make sure he’ll be itching to get his destructive digits on a real city,” Scratch figured. “Good thing he’s such a fast learner. Heh, but what else should I expect from my bro.” Stitch had watched himself from within his own body as he wrought havoc on that miniature city in much the same way he always dreamt himself rampaging before. He could feel swelling excitement as his blood was pumping adrenaline throughout his body while a slight tingle from his crotch was increasing with pleasure the more he embraced this side of himself. The best way that Stitch could describe this whole thing, it was like seeing himself discovering his love of being a rampaging monster for the first time. When that thought came to Stitch’s mind, he couldn’t help but feel a throbbing ache in his heart as well as one in his head that the Stitch he was seeing the world through wasn’t able to feel. Instead, he just waddled about the wreckage in search of anything still remotely resembling a building to stomp to dust. “What is going on with this dream?” Stitch pondered as the pain he felt made him feel like he’d be crying if he was the one in control of his body. “Isn’t this just another one of my monster dreams? It certainly does excite me like one, but why does it also make me ache too? Is it because this feels so… familiar? Could this be a memory of before?” “Ready for more?” Scratch asked his brother, seeing him a bit down that their game seemed to be at an end. “Ih,” nodded Stitch, his ears perking up as soon as he heard that and abandoned the pile of debris he was stomping into a fine powder to return to his brother’s side. “You can use your power to rebuild it?” “Oh, I can do more than that,” he assured Stitch, patting his shoulder in a supportive manner. “Just watch this~” Cracking his knuckles to show the kid gloves were coming off, Scratch used his powers once more to put it all back together, only making it a far vaster metropolis. The debris melted away and in its place emerged new buildings that rose up over top of Stitch and Scratch’s heads. By the time it finished, the city was easily twice as vast as its predecessor and had plenty more to offer than just buildings and cars. Looking around, Stitch saw that the larger scale allowed for bridges, planes, and ships to be added about for their destructive amusement. There were even some trains complete with tracks to run on, though they remained as idle as everything else Scratch could create from thin air. Gazing at it all with starry eyes, Stitch felt as excited as a kid in a candy store. Scratch couldn’t help but giggle, seeing how overjoyed he had made his brother. “Will this do for our second round of Kaphong?” “Meega, nala kweesta!” exclaimed Stitch, blushing and covering his muzzle for saying such a thing so loudly despite very few even away what that translated too. “Uh, I mean, Ih,” amended Stitch as he resumed being a monster and started destroying everything around him anew. Right away, he found fresh excitement in rampaging through a fresh city, especially one that was going to require that much more effort to wreck it. With how his heart raced and his muscles tightened, Stitch was more than motivated enough to give this game of theirs a hundred and ten percent of his all to let it experience the wrath of a kaiju. Scratch held back a bit as he watched Stitch proceed to drag his claws through a series of buildings and cause them to weaken and collapse one after another. “Chi meetoh,” he quietly spoke, observing Stitch fully enjoy being a monster and breaking things. He watched as he played around with a boat and a plane like they were toys before he smashed the two into one another and demolished them like everything else. Not wanting to miss out on the fun himself, Scratch soon joined in and the two rampaged with a grin on their face and a cackle escaping their lips as they made their way through the town. “Hehehahahah,” laughed Scratch after their second round of demolition was accomplished. Stitch laughed too, the sound more a cackle showing more devious delight in breaking things than merely a giggle of amusement. “Time for round three?” asked Stitch, expecting Scratch to start rebuilding everything again. “Yes, but not here,” he explained to his brother and waved him to follow after. Without waiting for a response from Stitch, he scurried off on all fours and, as he expected, 626 wasted no time following after him, eager to smash some more stuff. As he kept on running faster, he peeked behind him to see Stitch was hurrying just a couple feet behind him. Deciding to speed up even more, Scratch leapt forward, stuffing his legs into his maw and down his throat to take on a ball shape as he continued forward. Stitch did the same trick and the duo were soon rolling far from where they began and didn’t stop till they reached the outskirts of the city at a construction site. Currently, the workers were tasked with demolishing all the nearby buildings so that new ones could be constructed in their place. Well aware of this place, Scratch had planned to use this place as the last step in weening Stitch back into fully embracing his destructive programming before having him move on to the rest of the city that was just across a bridge. “What we do here?” wondered Stitch, his destructive urges still strong. Looking around, he could see several things he wanted to play with till it was all nothing more than chunks of cement and twisted pieces of metal. “Is this round three?” “Ih,” nodded Scratch as he made his way towards a crane with a wrecking ball attached. He moved about very quietly to avoid any of the workers noticing him and soon he scaled his way over top the driver’s seat. From there, he waved for Stitch to come and join him. Seeing this, Stitch already guessed what he had in mind and knew they were taking a huge step up from destroying a fake town. Though the area around them was already set to be destroyed, it did nothing to diminish the taste of destruction Stitch had on his tongue or the thrill the mere anticipation was causing as his heart pounded hard enough in his chest to hear it. Barely able to keep himself quiet, he hurried over to join Stitch atop to the wrecking crane. “Hope you’re having fun being a monster, Stitchy,” commented Scratch as they stealthily peeked down through the glass windows at the men working the crane. They snickered a little to gain their attention before moving back out of sight to tease them a little before cutting loose and giving them a much bigger surprise. “Stitch having great time,” he answered with an earnestly happy look on his mug. “Stitch love being monster.” “Love being monster,” grumbled Stitch, as he squirmed about in his bed, hugging his blanket with his arms and legs as he did so. “Love… be… monster… monster… monster…” Slowly opening his eyes, Stitch found himself back in his bed. His first thought was to peek under his covers to check his crotch. To his relief, he found he hadn’t cummed again, though that reminded him of his mess of spunk in his living room he still had to clean up. With that concern taken care of, Stitch turned his attention to his other one, Scratch. He recalled him sitting at his bedside, comforting him before he dozed off. Now, however, he was nowhere to be seen. “Scratch?” he said with a yawn coming out right after. Once it passed, he called out louder for his brother, but didn’t get a response. Stitch ran his claws over his scalp as he pondered where his bro had gone. “Did he step out for a while? Not that I’m complaining. He’s been disrupting my life since he came back into it.” Stepping out of bed, Stitch raised his arms up high as he let out another yawn and started to stretch. As he loosened his body up, he felt a sudden growing sensation as he began to increase in size. It wasn’t as intense a growth as the ones he had the night prior, but it caused Stitch to pause nonetheless, causing his growth to stop too. “Guess I stretched a little too much,” Stitch told himself with a nervous chuckle before he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm his heart and his mind. As he did, he started to shrink back down to his normal size. Opening his eyes to see the state of his body, he smiled and let out a relieved sigh. “Learning to be a monster is going to be very tough,” thought Stitch, looking down at his palms and recalling all the images of them bashing and slashing at buildings to topple them over. Looking down at his feet, he could practically feel the ground shaking and cracking beneath his soles and feel the metal shrapnel of cars stuck between his wiggling toes. Rubbing his head, he could feel it tingle with a sense of deja vu, but, like everything else from before his time on this planet, he was still mostly in the dark about it. “Especially when I don’t even remember being one. That part certainly still exists deep within me and keeps rising to the surface every chance it gets. I wonder what is going to happen to me when it fully awakens. Will I still be me or will I simply turn back into who I was?” Wrapping his arms around his body, Stitch attempted to comfort himself, but it did little to help him relax. “Oh, I hope Scratch gets back here soon. I don’t know if I can deal with all this on my own.” No sooner had Stitch wished that then he heard his front door open, followed by footsteps walking in and the door then shutting. “Stitch!” called Scratch. “Are you awake?” “Ih!” answered Stitch. “Yeah, I’m up.” “Well, come into the kitchen,” he told him. “I went and got something for us to eat. Are you hungry? Heh, like I even need to ask a bottomless pit like you such a question.” “Uh, I could eat,” replied Stitch as he made his way into his kitchen, curious to see what he got them. “But I’m far from being considered a glutton.” “Guess we’ll just have to see about that,” chuckled Scratch, worrying Stitch as to just what he was up to. Stepping into the kitchen to see just what was for breakfast, Stitch’s jaw dropped a little as he stared in awe at the huge box of donuts on his kitchen table. From what he could see through the clear plastic on the box, there had to be hundreds of the fried and glazed rings of pure sugary bliss in it. Sitting beside the box, Scratch was already helping himself to a few and a glass of milk as well with the rest of the gallon container beside him as well. “W-What is all this?” questioned Stitch, the answer obviously breakfast, but he was more referring to the sheer amount of it all when it was just the two of them there. “Donuts, of course,” replied Scratch saying it so casually as he munched on one of the pastries and acting like the amount he brought home wasn’t something out of the ordinary. “I know how much you like them. Oh, I already brought some milk to go with them too. I didn’t check your fridge before I left so I picked up a fresh gallon just in case. You still prefer 2% right?” “Yeah and I do have some,” nodded Stitch. “But don’t you think this might be a little much?” “Uh,” mumbled Scratch as he looked at Stitch and then the donut box before he shook his head. “Naga. Not really. This would normally just be a light snack for you at best.” “I suppose it would for any giant monster,” Stitch commented. “It would,” he agreed, swinging his legs back and forth leisurely as they conversed. “But even at your regular size you were a ravenous, bottomless pit. When we’d go out to have some less building breaking fun I’d typically take you out on a binge quest and watch you go through several buffets worth of food and bring you home with a gut too big to even get my arms around.” “Well, I guess that is just some more of my forgotten past,” stated Stitch, learning another fact about his history that he wanted to find some reason to doubt its validity. However, with all the things he was discovering about his body since Scratch had started awakening the slumbering beast within him, Stitch knew his bro had no reason to discredit himself with falsities now. With such a huge box of donuts, just waiting to be eaten, it was clear that he was going to get to experience this gluttonous aspect of himself soon enough too. “For now,” Scratch added as he munched a donut and then tossed one to Stitch who caught it in his paws. “But, enough idle chit chat. Tookie bah wah bah!” “Ih,” nodded Stitch as he opened his maw to take a big bite out of his first donut, the sweet chocolate and soft pastry hit his tongue in a flavorful unison and the blissful taste was powerful enough to push his negative thoughts to the back of his mind for the moment. Closing his eyes and smiling, Stitch happily ate up his donut and licked some bits of glaze that remained on his fingers. “How was that?” wondered Scratch, munching on another donut as he admired the adorable contentment Stitch had on his mug. “Donuts are always yummy,” he told Scratch as he gave his belly some gentle rubs. “Pass me another.” “Oh, you want more?” teased Scratch, enjoying being able to mess around with Stitch as a brother once more. “I thought you said this was too much for you.” “That doesn’t mean I don’t want to have more,” he argued, putting his fists on his waist and tilting his head slightly to one side. “Gatchi nosty?” smirked Scratch, as he grabbed another donut that he once more ate in front of Stitch, his efforts pushing Stitch to want them even more. The next one he took out, he waggled temptingly in front of Stitch. 626 let out an annoyed smirk, refusing to beg for more pastries, but with the flavor of the first on his tongue and almost a full minute going by without another one passing through his lips, the illegal genetic experiment found his craving for the confection growing at an astounding rate. His mouth began to water and his tongue slid across his lips while his stomach groaned some. Snickering, Scratch could see Stitch becoming ravenous for the sugary sustenance. “Do you want more donuts?” he asked him again, moving the donut from side to side, smirking as Stitch followed it with his eyes as drool ran down his chin. “Ih!” he nodded his head rapidly. “Miki miki! I want more!” “Okay, here you go,” chuckled Scratch, tossing Stitch his second donut that he ate much more ravenously than the first and quickly had his grabby hands out for his third. “Miki miki!” chanted Stitch once more, his hands out for more of those baked goods and Scratch was already prepared with three donuts, tossing them one after another at him. Quickly, Stitch caught the first two in his arms. The third was purposefully thrown off to the side and with both of Stitch’s hands occupied he wouldn’t have been able to grab it. With his hunger too great to allow even a single donut to escape him, Stitch acted on instinct, extending one of his hidden arms to snatch the donut as it came in range and clutched it tightly as he laughed triumphantly at catching them all. “Morcheeba,” applauded Scratch. “Very nicely done, bro.” Smiling and chuckling happily at his accomplishment, Stitch took a bow. Rising back up, he lifted his third arm up so his paw was level with his head. “Thank you very much,” Stitch praised his own appendage. He gave himself a thumbs up with it and then brought the donut to his muzzle to gobble it up. His other arms then did the same with the donuts they were holding, stuffing them into Stitch’s maw, making his cheeks bulge a little with all that pastry in them. “Heheh,” laughed Scratch as he had half a dozen donuts now ready for Stitch to grab and munch on. With a devilish grin on his face, he knew things were only going to get more entertaining from here. “It’s never a dull moment watching you eat. Here, have some more!” Licking his chops, Stitch forgot his hesitation earlier about the sheer number of donuts Scratch brought for them to eat. He was more worried now that they’d run out before he grew tired of their deliciousness. As Stitch slid his tongue over his lips, some more drool ran down his chin, showing just how much he craved to have more sweets and how overly eager he was to stuff himself full of them. Seeing no need to tease Stitch any further to stimulate his appetite, Scratch tossed him the donuts quicker than he did the last batch. As he did, Stitch didn’t hesitate to act. He leapt up like a cat pouncing at its prey to grab at them all, taking his fourth arm out to ensure he had enough limbs to not let any slip by him. Some of them Stitch simply caught in his maw, snapping them up and munching them down quickly to ensure his mouth would be ready for more of the pastries that were too impatient to walk the red carpet that was his tongue down his throat. When the donuts stopped coming, that was Stitch’s chance to empty his paws of the donuts he was holding, ringing them between as many fingers as he needed to ensure they didn’t slip from his grasp. Opening his maw wide as he could, Stitch proceeded to eat the donuts, choosing to cram as many as he couldn’t into his maw at once, forcing his cheeks to bulge even bigger than before to contain them all. With a chubby-looking face and an adorable smile on his muzzle, Stitch munched up the half dozen donuts he was given, attempting to savor them, but still be speedy as Scratch looked only so patient before he’d throw up even more for him to devour and 626 was far too hooked on that at this point to eat any less than all he could stomach. Rubbing his belly and letting out a sizable belch made it very clear that he was only getting started on this breakfast binge of his. “Hehehahahah!” cackled Stitch, truly enjoying this gluttonous behaviour of his he never imagined he possessed. “Miki miki! More! More!” he called to Scratch, showing that his feeding frenzy was far from over. The donut-armed feed then gathered up some more donuts to toss Stitch’s way, but stopped when a much better idea came to him. Grabbing a couple of the donuts, he placed them on his lap for himself and then tossed the rest of the box down to Stitch who caught it and saw they barely made a dent in the number of donuts it contained. “Okay, Mr. Hungry,” encouraged Scratch. “Let’s see if that’s enough to satisfy you.” “Mmm~” drooled Stitch, his saliva overflowing like it never had before, at least during his time on this planet. With all four of his paws wiggling their grabby digits about, they eagerly awaited the command to begin eating. With a rumble out of Stitch’s filled, but still hungry belly they lunged at the box’s round and holey contents, snatched them up and stored them into Stitch’s grinning muzzle. Four at a time, Stitch devoured the donuts, at first, however, it didn’t take much time for that number to steadily increase. Soon he was cramming six then eight and then eventually twelve and even more than that into his mouth before he started to munch away and swallow all those donuts he crammed into his spacious maw. Smiling so purely in his eyes, Stitch felt more than just the sweetness of the baked goods on his tongue as he ate. He felt a twinge of bitterness, recalling how had been limited to eating only so much when deep down he yearned to devour tons more. He felt a shocking bliss of such restrictions no longer there to hinder him. Lastly, he could feel that same wonderful ecstasy of being totally inhibited by anything and everything, just as he did when his cravings to destroy bubbled to the surface. Basking in such feelings as he crammed more donuts down his gullet, the hungry, blue fur ball scratched at his head as he felt the same tingling sensation that came about whenever Scratch coaxed him into doing anything. At this point, Stitch had no doubts that all this was indeed tied to the memories of his past, still too fragmented for him to recall more than flashes of images and experience heart-throbbing sensations pulse throughout his body. The closer Stitch found himself recalling moments of his past, the more intensely he could feel the struggling emotions of his previous self giddily clawing at the surface of his consciousness while his present self was a mixed bag of excitement and fear for what would happen when the two versions of himself were finally able to meet face-to-face. “Do I really want to know who I am… who I was?” pondered Stitch. “Scratch says it’s only a matter of time till I return to being a monster regardless of what I may do and… I know he isn’t making that up. Meega can feel the old Stitchy more clearly than ever now. He’s merely napping right now, but when he’s stirred awake again, who knows how strong he’ll be next time or what he’ll try to do. Eventually, he won’t just be coming out to play, but attempting to wrestle all control from me once more. Do I simply have to accept I’ll return to being a monster… or should I try and seek help while I still have time?” “Oh, what do I do?” questioned Stitch, muttering to himself, some of the words in his head sneaking out through his lips. “How about having some more donuts?” offered Scratch as he revealed another extra large box of the scrumptious baked goods he had kept hidden to see how his bro would react after polishing off the first. Opening the lid of the box and letting that fresh baked aroma out into the air, he watched Stitch to see the look on his face the instant that smell hit his sinuses. Head still inside the empty donut box, Stitch started to sniff as that enticing scent wafted down towards him and practically up his nostrils, like the baked goods were intentionally trying to get eaten. Despite how much he had already eaten and how full that bulging gut of his indicated he was, Stitch’s body didn’t disappoint his brother as a grumble from his gut a ravenous, almost savage grumble of hunger and a fresh stream drool began to flood out of his maw. As Stitch’s head rose out of the box, he had that same hungry look in his eyes he had mere moments ago when he first started his crazed binge on the pastries. Scratch snickered, enjoying the sight of his brother hungry like the first box of donuts had been merely the equivalent of an appetizer and didn’t put so much as a dent in his practically insatiable hunger. Stitch also didn’t show any sign of concern for how he was faced with his past catching up to him and what it would mean for who he was in the present. All of that seemed like a trifle compared to attempting to satisfy his sweet tooth right now. His black eyes reflected the full box of donuts now before him, the thing on his mind currently as his tongue hung out and the fingers on all four of his paws moved about, readying themselves to grab and cram them in his maw the same as with the first box. Then, as if triggered by some invisible signal, Stitch’s arms flew at the contents of the new box of donuts before him and he proceeded to scarf them all down in record time. Scratch cautiously kept his distance and cackled as he watched Stitch’s nostalgic gluttony. It was both amazing and frightening at the same time and helped him recall a number of his binges from their time together. “It’s been so long,” he thought, eyes tearing up so he used his furry arm to dry them. Flashing back, the two of them were in a very large room with Stitch’s size currently at a massive three stories. Overhead, a number of donuts were being dropped down to them, each about a thousand times the size of the ones currently being munched on by Stitch and he ate these ones with just as much gusto. Scratch was indulging too, but at his tiny size he was sitting on one and working on it at a much slower pace. Unfortunately, in Stitch’s gluttonous greed he grabbed at that donut too and munched it up, Scratch and all. Fortunately, the small, blue alien avoided getting chomped and forced Stitch’s lips apart. Upon doing that, Stitch stopped chewing, only now realizing his mistake and allowed Scratch to hop out of his maw, a filthy mess of spittle and mushy donut bits. The big alien bashfully apologized at a grumpy-looking Scratch, however that moment only lasted a moment before they burst out laughing and just went back to enjoying themselves. “So glad the good times are back again,” sniffled Scratch quietly. By the time Stitch finished this box, that sense of endless hunger faded and an aching feeling replaced it as he flopped onto his back and rubbed at his distended stomach. “Ugh…” 626 groaned weakly. “Maybe eating those last fifty donuts wasn’t such a good idea.” “Well, if you’re only regretting the last fifty,” chuckled Scratch, giving Stitch’s gut a few rubs to help comfort it. “Then it means you’re getting ever closer to becoming the monster you and I can’t wait to see make a massively big comeback in the Universe. Oh, yes, the day will come again when you attempt to crush all of existence between your planet-sized stompers and try to flatten it all into a great, big pancake.” “Oh, please don’t mention food right now,” moaned Stitch as he unleashed a loud belch. “Scuse me.” “Heheh,” smiled Scratch, rubbing his brother’s gut a bit more. “You’re excused. Now, once you’ve worked off that meal, we can go and have some more fun.” “You’re not gonna make me break someone else’s store, are you?” questioned Stitch, surprised he didn’t feel guilty about what he had done and was more concerned that they’d not be so lucky in escaping their wrongdoing if they made a habit out of it. “Not to worry,” Scratch assured Stitch. “Our smashing fun won’t have you breaking anymore stores. Instead, I’m going to build us a little place to play. You’ll be very surprised when you see it.” “You mean, you’re going to use your powers to generate a tiny, fake city for us to rampage through like giants?” answered Stitch, recalling his dream. Scratch stopped in his tracks upon hearing that and turned to Stitch. The look on his face showed that he truly didn’t expect such a response out of him. “I guess you won’t be so surprised,” he said. “But, how did you know that?” “Well, I sorta had a dream about it last night,” he explained. “We were not on this planet either. It was somewhere else. Somewhere far, far away.” “And?” urged Scratch, leaning closer to Stitch with his ears at the ready to listen. “Anything else?” “Ummm…” pondered the stuffed, blue alien as he scratched his head before shaking it. “Naga. That’s all. I woke up not long after we smashed the city a few times over.” “Seems you’re starting to put things back together in your mind and a lot quicker than I expected,” praised an excited Scratch. “I wasn’t sure how long it would take to make any real progress in restoring you back to how you were, but it seems bringing out your monstrous side is helping restore the old you even better than I could have hoped.” “Meega certainly have been feeling different lately,” confessed Stitch. “I’ve always had feelings about this other me, but it was always the same wet dreams. Since you arrived and encouraged me to act on those destructive impulses of mine, it’s like…” “Like what?” asked Scratch, curious to hear what Stitch had to say. “It’s hard to describe,” continued Stitch, staring up at the ceiling as he rubbed his gut. “Like, when I first came to this city, I was lost and alone and the place felt so big. Now, however, it suddenly feels so… small.” “As it should be,” stated Scratch. “The Stitch I knew saw the whole Universe as his playground. To be confined to a single world would be awfully cramped for a planet-smashing monster like you.” “And just thinking about that scares me,” confessed Stitch. “If I become my old self, will the current me disappear? Would you even care if that happened? After all, you came here looking for a monster, not me.” Smiling warmly, Scratch placed a support hand on Stitch’s shoulder. “The you from back then and the present you are not two different Stitches. You’re one and the same. It’s understandable that you’re so unsure. You’ve forgotten so much of yourself that it’s understandable that you are so apprehensive to relearn your own history bits and pieces at a time. However, once you remember everything you’ll understand that the calm, kind Stitch and the destructive monster have always been one and the same. When that day comes, you’ll see that nothing’s really changed. I for one can’t wait. Not just to see the return of the Big Blue Terror, but so you can finally be rid of this fear and uncertainty stirring around inside of you. Don’t you feel the same?” “I would like that too,” replied Stitch. “And when I’m back to being that terror, I’ll have to pay you back for the grief you’ve given me in the process of helping me to remember.” “Fair enough,” Scratch agreed with a smile. Giving Stitch’s belly a few more rubs, he turned and crouched. “So, shall we get going? I can piggyback you, if you’re still not up for moving just yet.” “Thanks, but I can do it,” Stitch replied, reaching for Scratch’s shoulder for some leverage to help him sit up. Next, he slowly got to his feet and finally stood up once more. Scratch watched in awe as Stitch cradled his gut and headed out of the kitchen looking rather silly hefting a belly like that about. Stitch then poked his head back in. “You coming, brother?” “Oh, yeah, right,” realized Scratch as he stood up and hurried after Stitch. “Just follow me, bro.” Leaving Stitch’s apartment complex, Scratch led Stitch through the city, though just like when they ended up at that antique store that they smashed to bits, Scratch didn’t appear to have an actual destination in mind and was actually searching for a place to suit their needs. Every once in a while, he stopped and pondered for a minute or two as he peered off into the distance. With a few “hmms” and “huhs,” as he rubbed his chin, Scratch attempted to decide which way they should head next. “Maybe this way,” he muttered to himself, bringing a claw a bit higher to scratch an itch on his nose. “We’ve been at this intersection three times already,” Stitch pointed out after he started to debate whether Scratch was still struggling to find a place for them to play or if he was simply lost and was walking around in circles at this point. “If you need help finding something, you could ask me. “I have been living here a while, after all.” “Well, know any big, vacant lots around here where we wouldn’t have to worry about prying eyes?” asked Stitch’s brother, surprising 626 that he didn’t stubbornly refuse to admit he had no clue where he was going. “I had a feeling you were looking for a place like that,” commented Stitch as he turned around and waved Scratch to follow him. “I think I know just the place in an older section of the city. It’s a little bit of a walk, but it’ll be perfect for our little game.” “It’s a little game, but it’s still big fun,” chuckled Scratch as the two hurried down the sidewalk, eager to start playing. After a pant-inducing ten minute jog, Stitch and Scratch reached their destination, a large, empty parking lot that was surrounded on three sides by the brick walls of an old, closed factory. The fourth side was protected by a rusted steel gate that had long since broke and remained on the ground, untouched for so long that vines had tightly taken hold of it. With countless ages of being left to the elements, the lot was cracked and full of litter. Weeds managed to sprout freely through the cracks in the parking lot, taking over most of the space. Fortunately, none of this overgrowth appeared to be thorny or dangerous to creatures like Stitch and Scratch. The walls surrounding the lot had been tagged a number of times with graffiti. Most of it was just a mess of lines that were hard to distinguish between being some sort of symbol or some illegible letters. Several of the bricks that had been in the wall had come loose and fallen to the ground, allowing one to be able to peer into the factory, though it was empty save for some old boxes, a thick sheet of dust, and lots of darkness. “Will this place do?” wondered Stitch as they stepped into the abandoned place. Scratch kicked a rusty, dented can over against the wall as he gave the lot a quick once over. Then, pausing, Scratch closed his eyes and listened. His large ears stood straight up and remained still as he focused on every sound around them. “There’s wind… and birds… some rodents too. There are some people, but they don’t seem to be close by. Maybe two or three blocks away. Yeah, we should be able to have plenty of fun without any interruptions or gawkers.” “Ih, this place will do nicely, brother,” Scratch answered Stitch a minute after being asked. Opening his eyes, his antennae emerged from the top of his head and emitted a blue light that fired at the ground around them. Stitch watched, seeing Scratch create a faux city all around them. There were buildings that were several feet tall and reached up around their muzzles. There were also small buildings that were the perfect size for the two of them to jump and stomp upon. Scratch added a few more touches to this soon-to-be-demolished city, from bridges to cars, from trees to boats and planes, and even a train complete with tracks despite it being unable to move on it. All of these created objects were all just a dull white and while it all felt like it was made of cement, by placing his claws on it, Stitch could tell that, with minimal effort, anyone could break this stuff with ease as if it was made of crackers. “It’s all just as I dreamed it,” Stitch muttered to himself. “Or, rather how I remembered it from way back then.” Smiling at being able to recall something so clearly of his past life, Stitch allowed himself to embrace his destructive urges a bit. Tightening his grip on the building closest to him and watched the cracks form on it and quickly spread out. Doing so made his heart beat a little faster and prevented his smile from leaving his muzzle. “Ready to play?” asked Scratch with a devilish smirk on his face as he watched his brother taking a little initiative to start without any coaxing from him. “Meega, nala kweesta!” Stitch answered in a naughty tone as he increased the strength and effort he was applying on the building and watched as his arm broke right through it. The force was enough to send the top half of the building into another to damage it before it rained down as debris on the cars below. Stitch felt an instant tingle of satisfaction from that and quick to crave more. Cackling, he set out to play. Stomping through the tiny city, Stitch did his best to embrace the monster within him, attempting to smash buildings and stomp cars with clear intent behind his actions. With how easy everything was to break, it didn’t seem all that hard to do. After a few minutes, it almost felt too easy, almost to the point of being something that would get repetitive after demolishing a few cities, but, once Scratch joined in and 626 watched him work, he stared in awe at what he saw. Standing atop a building, Scratch giddily hopped about on it, smashing it more and more before he leapt off the collapsing structure to belly flop onto a couple more and bring them down too. As he rose up, no worse for wear, he laughed devilishly and resumed playing around, this time prying a whole building out of the ground and tossing it, like a javelin, as far as he could. The two watched as the flying building hit the brick wall and smashed to bits with a noisy bang and an incredibly satisfying crumble. The bits and pieces then dropped to the ground, far from where they originated from. Scratch laughed once more and then continued his rampage, the smile on his face big as ever as he continued his wave of destruction. “Come on Stitchy,” encouraged Scratch. “Smashing stuff like that is basic Monster 101. I know you know how to wreck stuff with the best of them just like you did at that antique shop yesterday. Just go wild and have fun!” “Okay, I’ll give it a try,” nodded Stitch as he looked around at the havok he caused so far being hardly more than the standard brutality any typical giant monster could cause. While he did feel a tingle of satisfaction from it, recalling yesterday’s rampage through a store full of fragile merchandise had been many more times exhilarating. Also, watching how Scratch went about playfully demolishing everything in his path in such an energetic and playful manner reminded 626 more of how he terrorized cities in his dreams. He recalled how great it felt, not to mention euphoric as all his cum-stained sheets proved. What he was doing now, wasn’t even enough to get him a little hard between his thighs. “Breaking buildings and causing mayhem is what monsters were made to do,” analyzed Stitch. “But while those monsters did it like it was their job, I did it simply because it was fun for me. No. More than that. It was what I was born for and grew to love and lust to do.” Closing his eyes and taking a breath, Stitch concentrated, taking this realization he had to heart. Noticing this change in Stitch, Scratch stopped smashing and observed, eager to see what his bro would do next. Taking in a few more deep breaths, Stitch rubbed down at his crotch, murring as he started to feel turned on the more he pictured an obliterated city in his mind. Stitch then began to let several phrases flow though his head over and over again. “This is all a game to me,” he thought. “The china shop was my playpen. The antiques are my toys that are fun to break.” Taking in a breath, Stitch felt his heartbeat hasten a bit and his pulse quickened as he recalled the pure bliss he felt going through him while he wrecked that place. As he felt up his crotch more, Stitch could feel his dick slipping out of its sheath, uncaring that he was exposing his privates so shamelessly, despite nobody save for Scratch there to see it. New images surfaced in his mind, memories of his giant rampaging self stomping about with an equally monstrous boner out in front of him. Meanwhile, with each step he took, a very hefty pair of blue, furry balls dangled between his legs, rocking from side to side. Giving his nuts a squeeze, Stitch let out a murr that was easily mistaken to be just another monstrous roar due to the deepness of his voice. He was incredibly horny and the only thing that was going to get him off in the state he was currently in was the utter destruction of everything around him. “This is all a game to me,” continued Stitch, his breathing hastening as he continued to focus, imagining himself as the Big Blue Terror once more. “The city is my playroom. The buildings are my toys that are fun to smash~” The little, blue alien’s heart sped up some more. He thought of all those dreams he had of smashing a city like the one he currently lived in. The thought of reducing countless buildings and skyscrapers into pebbles beneath his massive feet felt wonderfully arousing to him, getting his cock throbbing already. Thinking more and more about this, Stitch couldn’t help but feel so very tingly all over as that pleasure flowed through his body, making his ears stand straight up, while his rear wiggled about happily. Embracing it now, it was the best feeling he had ever felt, but he knew that he could still crave far more destruction than merely decimating city after city on the meager scale of planetary rampaging. “This is all a game to me,” breathed Stitch, his other paw on his chest as he felt his heart thumping so fast and hard it felt like it might burst out of his chest. All the adrenaline pumping through his system triggered his body to grow larger again, increasing his size one inch after another. His hand on his crotch also felt his cock and balls increasing in girth and triggering even more overwhelming euphoria to send an intoxicating bliss throughout every inch of his body. “The universe is my playground. The planets are my toys to play with till they break!” Stitch gained a full foot by the time he finished growing and let out a monstrous roar that could have been heard for miles around. Grinning ear to ear, Scratch approached Stitch. “Heheh,” he chuckled. “Sounds like you’ve got yourself pretty psyched up.” Reaching up, he gave Stitch’s back a pat. “You managed to grow yourself a bit without losing control.” “Yeah, but this is hardly as big as I was yesterday,” admitted Stitch, the slight increase only requiring him to look down a little to meet Scratch’s eyes. “Still, that’s progress,” Scratch assured him. “The better you can control your size the more fun you can have. You can go from being at your base size one minute to big as a mountain the next as you rampage through a city. Just think of all the fun you’ll be able to have then?” “Oh, I’m thinking about it,” murred Stitch, arousal leaking from the tip of his cock as he was getting close to climaxing from the mental imagery alone. “So, how ya feel now, big guy?” questioned Scratch, getting on his tiptoes to better reach Stitch’s shoulder’s to give them a rub. “You ready to really show me what sort of a monster you are?” Turning his head to his bro, Stitch gave Scratch a warm look that left him in awe for a moment. Gazing into Stitch’s dark eyes, he felt like he was really seeing the Stitch he missed so much. “Meega, nala kweesta,” 626 said before he rushed off to smash their toy city to bits. Scratch just stood there and witnessed his bro returning to form as he swung his arms from side to side, bashing the builds on either side of him and he moved down the street. Two by two, the buildings were bashed and crumbled behind the blue terror. As he neared the end of the street he was on, Stitch stopped focusing on swinging his arms about and, instead, crouched down a bit before leaping forward and turning his body to its side as he sailed into another building. With a single swift thrust of his waist, Stitch hip checked into a skyscraper the next, unfortunate target of his rampage. Against the force of his rear and thigh ramming into it, the tall building couldn’t take it and broke to pieces upon contact. Before the top half of the building could even hit the ground and stomped his feet down to smash the lower half that was still rooted to the ground. The blue monster of destruction continued to revel at the feeling of how fragile the city was and how good it felt underfoot. Murring a little, he rubbed at his crotch some more, reveling in the pleasure of feeling debris between his toes and against his soles. “This feeling,” thought Stitch, during his brief pause from his rampage. “So good. I can’t get enough. Need more and more~” A light snicker escaped 626’s maw as new ideas how to break things quickly piled up in his head. There were so many new things he wanted to try and before he could even consider which to try first, his body had already started to move again as his eyes locked onto the building in front of him. Getting into a sprinting stance, Stitch felt his muscles tighten as he built up power to charge forward. Eyes still fixed ahead of him, he didn’t just have the building mere inches in front of him as the next object to pulverize, but several of the ones behind it as well. Smirking confidently, he felt his body tighten like a spring compressed as much as possible and ready to sproing the instant it was released. All the while Stitch was preparing for his next attack, his cock continued to throb and ooze one big glob of pre after another onto the ground before him. If he hadn’t rendered himself stationary till he felt ready to lunge forward, he doubted he could have continued without keeping a hand clenched tightly to it to jerk himself off. Instead, Stitch decided to take care of his lust a little later with one of his other more naughty ideas. “Oh, this is gonna be so good,” murred Stitch, just about ready to go. “It makes me so happy and horny I might just blow my load from the excitement alone, but I doubt I’ll be satisfied with just a single orgasm from the way I feel right now.” Chuckling a bit, Stitch then peeked back at Scratch who continued to fixate on his brother cutting loose. “I wonder what Scratch thinks of all this now.” “He’s like poetry in motion,” thought Scratch, teary-eyed as he watched Stitch finally charge forward, prying the building in front of him off the ground and proceeded to do the same with every building in his path one after the other till he was hauling a heavy load of buildings in his arms. “I don’t know if I’d enjoy watching him cause devastation with rock music playing or a classical orchestra instead. Both would be very fitting right about now.” “Mmph!” grunted Stitch as he squatted down while holding onto all those buildings in his arms. Then, rising back up, he tossed all that debris into the air and let it rain down over the partially destroyed city. The rubble came crashing down like meteors, peppering the landscape and increasing the devastation that the two destructive creatures had already caused. “Hehehahah,” panted Stitch, catching his breath after all that. Next, he eyed the last few buildings that had yet to come crumbling down. They were all still very close together in a triangle formation and had somehow been spared being demolished by any of the stray debris that had been very close to making them some too. Seeing the shape the buildings were in and how perfectly they were spaced apart, Stitch couldn’t resist the urge to try and bowl them all over at once. Grinning and cackling, 626 proceeded a short distance away, with the building representing the number 1 pin as the one closest to him now. Digging his feet into the ground, Stitch prepared for another charge forward. Still mentally ready from his preparations earlier, Stitch didn’t wait around much this time as he dashed forward a few steps and then suddenly leapt like a bowling ball being tossed down a lane. Curling his body up and stuffing his legs into his maw, Stitch seamlessly rolled into a ball and flew straight at the buildings like they were pins on a bowling lane. As the spherical monster connected with them so fast that you’d miss the impact if you blinked, it was accompanied by a thunderous KABOOM!!! that sent them flying and smashing to bits wherever they landed, some in pieces even before that. As Stitch’s rolling slowed to a stop, he straightened himself up and then to see that the last buildings that had been left standing were now all wrecked. However, much to his surprise, he only managed a decent nine as the skyscraper in the far back left had somehow been spared and appeared like it hadn’t even received so much as a ding of damage to it yet. Seeing this, Stitch’s mouth hung open a little, unable to imagine how he could have missed it after all he had done. “Quala chifa pi nolo,” snickered Scratch, finding this humorous. “But tel ashal out of tienet is still good. “Gonna try for the spare now?” “Toobaga,” grumbled Stitch, as he kicked down the surviving building and then proceeded to stomp it down into a fine powder before he finally stopped. “Heheh, I see you still get all pouty and irritated when your showboating doesn’t go exactly like you wanted it to,” commented Scratch. “I remember that one time you tried to smash a whole city with only the use of your rear. Oh, the face you made when you sat down on that extremely pointy building. Ogata, that must’ve hurt, but I didn’t think I’d ever stop laughing after that.” “Yeah,” grumbled Stitch as he rubbed his keister. “My patookie was sore for a couple days after that, but at least I was in the middle of wrecking a city already to vent my agony.” “Some of your finest work if I do say so mysel-” Scratch began to say. “Hey, are you saying you can remember that?” “Ih,” nodded Stitch realizing this too. “I remember that city I tried to completely flatten with my ass.” “Well, how about that time you slipped and fell into that tar pit?” wondered Scratch. “Ugh,” groaned Stitch, not finding that memory pleasant in hindsight. “The armada had to shave me bald after that.” “Heheh, yeah,” snickered Scratch as Stitch stomped his way over to his brother. “We were calling you an ika patooba for a month.” “How about recalling something that wasn’t completely humiliating for me?” grumbled Stitch as he lifted Scratch up by his eyes. “You sure you don’t want to reminisce about the incident where you took a howitzer cannon right in the nu-” Scratch started to say, but a deepening growl growl from Stitch as his size increased by several more feet made him pause in mid sentence. Chuckling nervously, he eyed his bigger, badder bro, both excited and frightened to see him grow even larger. Sneaking a peek lower, he marveled at his thicker, girthier cock and balls that were big as a pair of apples. When that brief moment passed, Scratch looked back up at Stitch’s head that was so high up he had to crane his neck back to meet his eyes. Stitch’s nostrils flared as he let out a snort and waited to see what his brother was going to say or do next. Not wanting to be on the wrong end of one of Stitch’s rampages, Scratch swallowed hard and then used his antennae to clean up the demolished city and put it back together so that it was big enough for Stitch’s increased proportions to ravage. “Uh, we can try and recall your memories later,” suggested Scratch, hoping to return his bro’s focus back to the game at hand. “Why not get back to playing around. Think you can smash this model city?” “With my eyes closed,” bragged Stitch as he dropped Scratch onto the ground and stomped his way around the buildings that came as high up to his muzzle now while Scratch was only half a tall as most. “Isn’t a boast like that how you ended up becoming an ika patooba in the first place?” pointed out Scratch only to get another stern glare from his towering brother. “Uh, I’ll be quiet now.” “Shiralli meega,” said Stitch as he extended his extra set of arms and cracked his knuckles. The next thing to crack after that was the buildings all around Stitch as he pummeled them to pieces and stomped the faux cars underfoot as he rampaged about. Growls and beastly roars erupted from Stitch’s maw as he took his toy buildings apart and waded through the rubble as he locked onto the next object he aimed to crush in his bare paws. As instructed, Scratch watched, following his brother while remaining a safe distance behind him while he continued to enjoy embracing his role as the bringer of destruction he was born to be. Stitch’s cackles of delight came out so freely and easily as he pulverized building after building with a punch or a kick or whatever creative idea popped into his head and he didn’t hesitate to give it a try. Soon, it looked like Stitch had completely forgotten about being irked and was back to having the time of his life. By the time this second fake city was nothing but a huge pile of broken stones for Stitch to rest upon, the big, blue alien gently stroked his dick, finally ready to unleash the spunk that had been leaking out of it for some time now. It was then that Stitch proceeded towards a single building in the corner that had been spared being smashed and crushed like all the others, however, as the devilish alien proceeded towards it, jerking at his length as he did so, it was clear that he had a special plan for it. “I’m not sure if a building would make for good fucking material,” he confessed shamelessly as he kneeled down to carefully pry the tall building of the ground while causing the least amount of damage to the rest of the structure as possible. “But whether it can handle my cock or not, I’ll still have the fun of humping it to pieces~” “You always did enjoy blowing your load after a good rampage,” commented Scratch as he patted Stitch on the back. “Heh. Like a little reward for a hard day’s work or something, right?” “Guess so,” nodded Stitch, as he held the building just right to line up the bottom with his cock. Then, with a single, swift thrust, he pierced it with his dick, basking in a mix of pleasure from how it felt to have that building around his cock and also how it felt to destroy something with his dick alone. Slowly and carefully, he proceeded to push and pull the building, grinding his cock against it while he also thrust his hips forward and back. Murrs and moans of bliss escaped Stitch’s maw as he found himself oozing pre from the simulation. The sheer amount didn’t require a lot of time to start filling up the sizable building room by room and floor by floor, however, as Stitch neared the peak of his climax, he knew the big load he was about to produce was truly going to surpass Scratch’s expectations and his own, for that matter too. Faster and faster he fapped himself off and the pleasure only continued to swell inside of him, making his dick pulse greatly and feel on the verge of finally erupting. All the while he was enjoying himself, Stitch’s size continued to increase with his pleasure, making him reach the bigness he had during his time at the antique shop while his cock increased in size and thickness to fill up the skyscraper on it’s own and caused all his pre to force its way out through the windows of the building. Finally, with one last, big thrust, Stitch howled loudly as he climax arrived and the first big gusher of cum burst through the roof of the building, causing it to finally break to pieces and land on the gooey ground in front of him. Several more shots of seed followed, managing an impressive amount of distance across the parking lot and reached as far as splattering against the side of the old factory building. “It certainly is nice after a little rampaging, but I don’t think I’d call this a hard day’s work,” panted Stitch as he felt his lust high was starting to come down and his size slowly started to reduce, in spite of his words that he was far from done. “Oh, no?” inquired Scratch, gazing at Stitch’s dick, the spurts now dying down to just one big glob after another, dripping off his cockhead and onto the floor of their playground. Soon the flow stopped entirely and Stitch’s shrinking size was almost back to his base height once more. “Then what would you call this?” “A warmup,” replied Stitch, bringing his gooey paw to his maw to lick it clean. “Now, how about making me a really big city for me to smash now.” “Bigger than that one?” asked Scratch, looking around at the limited space they had to play with and recalled all the noise Stitch had caused at his current size. It wasn’t enough to draw any attention to them, but that wouldn’t be true if they kept escalating things. There was also the fact that in their limited space the city would only get smaller the more he scaled it up. “We don’t really have the space to make a bigger city here and even if we did, it might not be a good idea to stay here much longer and risk being seen. It’s still much too premature to risk letting everyone know the big blue terror is returning. We should wait, at least till you’re able to reach three stories and are sure you can maintain it freely.” “Naga!” refused Stitch with a huff as he crossed his arms and stomped his foot, flattening some rubble underfoot. “Meega, nala kweesta!” “You will,” promised Scratch. “I’d love to see you obliterate a real city more than anything, but I don’t know if you are ready for that yet.” “Then let Stitch show you,” replied the big, blue fuzzball as he dug deep down inside of him and tried to make himself grow larger. His body quivered and shook as he groaned and grunted, attempting to force out more bigness. For a moment, it started to work as his body inched more and more in size. However, before Stitch could get more than a couple feet taller than Scratch, his growth came to a halt and then, even quicker, 626 started shrinking back down to his base size, panting and gasping for breath. “Don’t try to force it,” warned Scratch. “You’ll get the hang of your monstrous side with a bit more time and practice. There’s no need to rush to smash everything in sight. It’s not like the Universe is going anyway.” “But Stitch finally like being a monster,” he told his brother, attempting to grow bigger again, but he was only succeeding in tiring himself out and giving himself a migraine. All the energy and pep he had moments ago now seemed drained away and Stitch felt empty inside despite eating twice his weight in donuts for breakfast only a short whole earlier. Weakly, Stitch attempted to try growing yet again, but as much as he focused on his desire to grow, his body didn’t change at all. Instead, Stitch could feel his head ache more as new memories surfaced and flashed through his mind. He saw an alien armada standing before him with his brother Scratch alongside them. Stitch stood before them, a huge monster around a city he had been wrecking till just then. After speaking some, Stitch nodded and followed after them, boarding onto their spaceship. “These memories,” pondered Stitch. “What am I trying to remember now?” The next images to come to his mind showed Stitch rampaging from city to city and planet to planet, terrorizing its citizens and military with great delight. The enemy’s forces tried to fight him off with guns and lasers, and bombs and even missiles, but against Stitch’s size and powers, they were like tiny bugs biting at his hide slowly annoying him into swatting them, in some cases quite literally. All the while he stomped through downtown, he roared and growled, mostly to ham it up as he enjoyed being the big, blue terror that he was. Scratch was there on his shoulder and the armada of aliens from before were there too, following after him as they cleaned up the crumbs that Stitch left in the wake of his devastation. At least, that was how it was at first, but with each new memory, Stitch saw himself getting bigger and more destructive till he didn’t leave anything behind but city-sized footprints and a shadow so large that it blanketed everything behind him. “Heheh, so much wonderful destruction,” chuckled Stitch, impressed by his own handiwork. “Scratch was right. I really was a great, big, giant terror. I wonder just how many planets I wiped out, how many cities I destroyed.” Once those memories of Stitch’s glory days came to an end, Stitch then saw the aliens from before arguing with Scratch. Scratch looked to be pleading desperately with them, but they just kept on shouting and pointing at Stitch who merely watched them while laying on his belly, with his head only feet from them and towering over them by a few stories. “I guess they were my friends or something,” figured Stitch. “I don’t see why I wouldn’t be stomping on all of them otherwise if they had some problem with me.” The final thing Stitch saw was very brief. He was on another planet, freshly annihilated by the massive, blue fuzzball himself. Stitch was in the middle of a victory dance as he stomped on the remains of some buildings while Scratch held onto his fur while standing atop his shoulder. After that, it skipped ahead a bit. Now Stitch saw a strange machine, followed by a very saddened Scratch. There was a flash and he saw a bright flash of light and then a sphere with the number 626 on it. After that, everything went dark. “W-What was that?” asked Stitch, as he felt tears running down his eyes. What were those memories now?” “You remembered something else now?” replied Scratch, happy at first, but then he saw the sorrow in his brother’s eyes and lost the enthusiasm in his voice. “Do you think you could tell me what you saw?” “Ih,” nodded Stitch, sounding more like his meek and timid self once more as his ears drooped downward. He went over all the new memory fragments and did his best to paint a picture for his brother. Scratch didn’t say anything as he listened, not even to ask a question. Once Stitch neared the end of his new recollections, he suddenly found himself sobbing anew while his heart ached and Scratch looked equally solemn. “And that’s where your memories end?” asked Scratch, upon hearing about that machine and that flash of light before everything went dark. “Ih,” Stitch nodded, not feeling very talkative after having to think so much over those memories again. “That makes sense,” explained Scratch. “That would be where your memories would come to an end before they were taken from you.” “Taken?” questioned Stitch. “I thought I just had amnesia, but you’re saying someone took away my memories? Why? Why would they want them?” “They didn’t want them,” sniffled Scratch. “They just didn’t want you to have them. And I… I should have been a better brother and protected you. Instead, I failed you and you ended up in the life you have now.” “What happened?” Stitch asked Scratch, the memories in his head aching him. “Tell meega what all these memories mean. What happened to me? To us?” “I was worried you’d eventually start to recover those memories,” sighed Scratch. “But now that you are remembering them, I can finally talk to you about how you were the Big Blue Terror and why you suddenly vanished.” Stitch’s ears perked up, eager to hear this important information regarding his past. Leaning forward, he awaited what Scratch was about to tell him. Then a noisy grumble in Stitch’s stomach chimed in and broke the tension surrounding them. The two looked at each other, Stitch blushing with embarrassment as he hugged his gut in an effort to quiet it, but it just grumbled louder. “Heh, sounds like you’re ready for lunch, big guy,” smiled Scratch, thankful for something like this to help lighten the mood a little. “Uh, yeah,” nodded Stitch. “It’s probably not good to hear about one’s past on an empty stomach. So, maybe we can have this talk a little later?” “Sounds good to me,” replied Scratch, helping Stitch up. “How about tonight when we’re back in your apartment.” “It’s yours too,” Stitch told Scratch as he took him by the paw and took charge of leading the way. “Now, how about you follow me for a change, cause I’m feeling much too hungry to be following you in circles and act like you aren’t lost.” “Fair enough,” chuckled Scratch and the two hurried off to get something to eat.
