Branch and Keith (Iilo and Stitch) au
You have corrupted me.........this is your fault..........THIS! Is for you........@empressgeekt.........
So, if you have no idea what this is about, you're gonna want to see this post. Now that you know what this is about, let's start with Branch.
Branch lives with his 4 older brothers, Spruce, Clay, Floyd, and John Dory. In this au, I pushed back when the band breaks up to a few weeks before Rosiepuff died so they didn't get too far away from home before they needed to go back. You see, when they left Rosiepuff was Branch's legal guardian. However, when she died, all the bros got a letter explaining everything and how they now have custody over Branch. This is practically a slap in the face for them and they all immediately go back to take care of Branch. Now, the bunker was never made since because bergens never existed in this au so, Branch would've never had a reason to make it. Here, Rosie died of old age and Branch did go grey for a bit since he had to deal with his brothers leaving and his grandma dying in the span of a few weeks. However, he did get his colors back once his brothers came back and they all made a silent agreement to never, EVER, leave each other again.
Meanwhile in space, Mosey was a miner for a small planet in the middle of nowhere. Mosey always longed for a child of his own but he was incapable of reproducing. He became so desperate, he turned to scientifically creating life (which is illegal in this universe since it's against the law of nature). He ended up making 9 'failed experiments' until he created one he was satisfied with. He decided to name the experiment K3-1H. He was so proud he made life and took care of K3-1H for a few years until the space bureau (basically space government/police) found out about his experiments. He quickly took K3-1H and put him in a pod that mimics an asteroid. He gave K3-1H his 9 other failed experiments that are in a dehydrated state and sent him off to earth before Mosey got arrested. K3-1H landed on a nearby mountain where he tried to find shelter and protect the other experiments before getting hit by a car and rolling down a hill, passing out as he instinctively changed his appearance to match whatever hit him.
Switching back to Branch, a few years went by and Branch is now 8. His brothers kept their promise and never left, taking care of Branch as they only have each other now. One day, Branch wanted to have some kind of best friend and wished on a shooting star for a baby brother (Not knowing that said star was K3-1H's pod). The next day, Branch somehow convinced his older brother Floyd to go to the nearby orphanage. Branch ended up running off to see the other kids as one particular troll caught his eye. The troll had the same blue hair and eyes he has and pale green skin. The reason that kid caught Branch's attention was because they noticed how different they looked. They had spines slightly sticking out their back and down their tail and they had some kind of bruise on their left side. The kid looked only a few years younger than Branch and they seemed to be extremely protective of whatever's in their pouch. Branch has heard the tale of the strings and he's even seen a few other genres, but he's never seen a troll like that before.
Keith has had a VERY, bad day. First, he has to leave his papa for some reason. Then he got hit by some sort of vehicle and passed out. This morning when he woke up, his side was hurting badly and he had to deal with his new appearance. He was a bit wary of the people around him. Everyone seemed a bit too nice for his liking. Now, he was currently sitting against the corner, growling at anyone who got too close to him. He's a bit glad they didn't take away his pouch, who knows what could've happened to his siblings if they had? He was scanning the room he was in and taking in any possible exits when he noticed someone staring at him intently. After a few seconds of eye contact he growls and marches over to them.
Branch: Hi! I'm Branch! What's your name?
K3-1H: *looks confused as they look up and down at him*........K3-1H
Branch: That's a bit hard, how about Keith?
K3-KEITH, looks at him confused for a moment before nodding. They're a bit uncomfortable with how fast this ki-BRANCH, is talking to him. They intently listen to him explain why they're here and what this place is when he gets an idea. Keith figures that if he can get adopted by some family, then he'll be able to get out of this place. Keith reluctantly asks if he can be adopted by Branch's family. Branch excitedly nods their head and practically drags Keith over to Floyd. Branch explains everything to Floyd and Floyd quickly agrees after they both give him puppy dog eyes. They end up adopting him and pretty quickly learn about how Keith doesn't have any records and is somehow fine after getting run over by a car. The 3 of them walk back home and explain everything that happened to their brothers. They're all a bit freaked out by Keith miraculously surviving getting hit by a car and only suffering from a bruise. After a few months go by, they quickly learn about Keith's weird anatomy and quirks. They're all used to it by now, so it wasn't too surprising for them to learn about Keith's backstory. The only part that gets a reaction out of them is when Keith explains that the weird balls in his pouch were 'failed experiments'. Even then, Branch was elated to know there were more people like Keith he could befriend. Branch and Keith end up spending the next day to bring the other experiments to their original state.
Branch: Hi, i'm Branch! What's your name?
Branch: Ok. How about.....Boom!
Boom: *looks confused* uh...
The rest of Kismet in the background: Just say yes, it'll make it go a lot faster.
WOW! That was a lot. This is probably one of my longest posts. So, here's a few more facts about this au that isn't plot related. Kismet IS in this au and they're all aliens! I like to think Mosey started to make experiments around the time Branch was born, so Kismet will be around Branch's age. While Keith is based on Stitch, I like to think some of his traits and abilities are different than Stitch's. That goes for the rest of Kismet as well, they aren't particularly based on any character from Lilo and Stitch so i'll have to make some original stuff about them. I feel like Keith would get jealous when they see Branch getting along with other people because of how quickly they got attached to each other. When Keith starts to get more included with Branch and Kismet's activities, he does get attached to Kismet as well and starts to see them like older brothers along with Branch. I sincerely apologize there isn't a lot of Brozone in this post, I promise I will get to them at some point. The rest of the experiments are probably going to be oc's. In the end, the one thing I can guarantee is a fact, is that @empressgeekt started all of this so you can blame them.
