***Deserted Island - Shore***

C.C. POV:

"*huff, huff* I'm alive..." Grim says in relief while Bubba cradles him. Stitch looks down while I hold him. "I'm glad you're okay." Bubba says. "Yuu...! I...I'm so glad to be back..." Grim says with tears pricking in his eyes. "Whoa, are you crying?" Ace asks. "What? NO! That's seawater!" Grim exclaims. "Sheesh. At least you've still got a mouth on you...*huff* Man, now I feel all worn out. I'm glad you made it out okay and all, but don't scare me like that!" Ace exclaims. "I was rather frightened, myself. I wasn't expecting the spaceship to explode." Riddle says.

"It looked rad, right? Like a big fireworks show." Floyd says as he approaches us with Appa. "Nothing says summer quite like fireworks!" Appa exclaims. "Ah, it's too bright to make them out clearly...but I think that's Floyd and Lilia flying overhead! Guess they made it back in one piece. Not that I was worried-I know those two can handle themselves no problem." Jack says. "Heh, you're certainly right about that. I can only wonder what took them so long." Azul comments. "Fireworks, indeed. Those two are quite the formidable pair." Riddle says.

"Hey, Floyd! Hey, Lilia! Welcome back... Hm? Is it just me, or are those shadows coming towards us a little...big?" Ace asks. "Quite the thud." Riddle says as Gantu is dropped in the sand. "Whoa! Gantu?!" everyone exclaims. "Why'd you bring Gantu back?!" Ace exclaims. "He was gonna plunge right into the ocean too, so we grabbed him." Floyd says. "He seems to be unconscious. We could hardly just ignore him." Appa says. "Dude, he took Grim hostage! The guy's a villain! You didn't have to save him." Ace says.

"What he did was unacceptable, yes. But I wouldn't go so far as to consider him a villain. Hate the sin, not the alien." Appa says. "I suppose we did have flimsy reasoning for siding with Stitch at the start, without knowing the situation Gantu was in." Riddle states. "Hmm. I guess..." Ace says in agreement. "But none of that excuses his misdeeds. He merits no sympathy from us. Let's take his weapons and leave him disarmed." Riddle says. "Dang, Goldfishie, that's savage. You'd just abandon him to his fate on a deserted island?" Floyd asks. "Hmph. I'm sure the "boss" he's reporting to will come give him a lift eventually." Jack says. "Agreed. If anything, we're being too merciful. Even after deducting the cost of destroying a spaceship, we still have plenty to file a damages claim against him." Azul states.
