104R 6: Shipped Off.
U.S. Kansas
Back over in the U.S., in the countryside of Kansas, on the Miller farm, inside the red barn, Molly and Olive stood on the top floor, looking out the glassless window at the beautiful endless land.
Molly: "Everything the light touches if part of our land. The Miller farm. Taking care of it is a big responsibility, Olive. And someday, when you and your brothers are all grown up..."
"Heads up! Incoming!" Came the voice of Dice.
Molly grunted as a green apple hit her on the head and landed in front of her and Olive. "Ow! Dice!"
"Oh!" Said Dice as he rushed to the front of his Mom and little sister. "(Chuckles) Sorry, Mom. The twins and i were playing apple ball."
"And Dice couldn't handle the pass." Said Mickey as he and Max ran past their older brother and over to where the apple was resting.
"What? A horse couldn't handle it. You kicked it over my head!" Said Dice as he pushed Mickey with his paw.
"Dice!" Said Molly.
"And you couldn't handle it." Said Max before picking up the green apple in his mouth.
Molly: "Mickey, Max..."
"Yeah? Try to handle this!" Said Dice before pouncing on his little brother.
"Dogpile!" Mickey shouted before jumping on his three brothers.
The three eight week old puppies each held an end of the apple in their mouth and began playing tug of war over the fruit.
"Boys!" Said Molly.
Dice let go of his end of the apple.
"Whoa!" Said Mickey and Max as they fell backwards.
Dice turnned to his Mom.
"Dice, i need to talk to your sister. She'll be exploring the farm with you and your brothers today." Said Molly.
Mickey: "Because we're trainning to be..."
"Watch dogs of the Miller farm. Yeah, yeah. I know all about it, Mickey." Said Dice.
"At least we have our lives figured out. What are you gonna grow up to be, big brother?" Max asked.
"Happy?" Said Dice.
"Alright, you three, that's enough. Dice, why don't you and the twins go play somewhere else?" Said Molly.
"Yeah! I know the perfect place!" Said Mickey as he and Max ran out in front of Molly, Dice and Olive, with Max holding the apple in his mouth. "Hey, Dice! You'll never get the apple fruit, no."
"Ha! You got nowhere to go, guys!" Said Dice, blocking the twins' path.
"Says you." Said Mickey. "Zuka Zama!" He shouted as he and Max jumped over Dice. "Catch us if you can, Dice!" He said before he and Max ran off with the apple.
"Game on, Mickey and Max!" Said Dice. "Later, Mom. Later, Olive. I gotta get the twins!" He said as he ran off after his brothers.
"(Sighs) Sometimes i can't believe we're related. But not to worry, Olive. Dice and the others will grow up someday...i hope." Said Molly. "Why don't you go and catch up with them? I'll talk to you later."
With all of that said and done, Olive ran off after her three brothers.
The two eight week old Dalmatian twins ran out of the barn, with Dice following close behind.
##################################################################################
Meanwhile, up stairs in his bedroom, a creepy 12 year old Jason looked out his window at the three puppies as they ran off to play, with Olive following far behind. He then walked away from the window and went back over to his bed. He wore a pale gray short sleeve t-shirt, with gray trims on the end of the sleeves and the collar was gray also. He wore a pair of blue shorts that went down to his knees and he was barefoot.
The long brown haired kid sat in his bed, indian style, placed his blue laptop in his lap, and opened it, revealing surveillance footage of the whole house, as well as the whole farm. These web cameras had been set up by Jason shortly after he, Gigi, Rex and the dogs had moved here to Kansas, under the orders of the Dark 13. This way, the Organization could keep watch over the Miller family 24/7. On one of the screens, Gigi was in the kitchen, cooking breakfast, while on another screen, Dice was chasing after Mickey and Max, trying to catch up with them, as was Olive.
Just then, Jason's cellphone buzzed and the 12 year old picked it up and answered it.
"Hello?" Jason asked.
"Hello, Ansem." Said Xemnas on the other line.
"Xemnas. Hi. Perfect timming. I was just about to call you. To what do i owe this sudden and unexpected phonecall? Where are?" Jason/Ansem said.
"I'm in Ontario, Canada. The Lewis family just left their dog at the animal shelter and are on their way to the airport right now as we speak. Xigbar is there right now, waiting for them to arrive. Once they've boarded the plane, they'll be off to London, England." Said Xemnas.
"Perfect. Shall we proceed with the next phase of our plan?" Jason/Ansem asked.
"Yes, go right ahead. The Lewis family is already on their way to the United Kingdom. All we have to do now is accomplish our next few tasks and then we'll let the rest of the plan play out on it's own from there. At least for now, anyway." Said Xemnas.
"Good. i'll contact Xaldin and inform him that the next phase of our plan is ready to proceed. I'll talk to you later. Bye." Said Jason/Ansem before ending the call. The 12 year old boy then dialed another number and waited for someone to answer.
"Hello?" Came a voice on the other end.
"Xaldan, it's me...Ansem." Said Jason/Ansem.
"Ah, yes,...Ansem. I was wondering when i'd hear from you. What can i do for you?" Asked Xaldan.
"I just recieved word from Xemnas that the Lewises are on their way to the London, England airport in Ontario, Canada. Xigbar is there now, waiting for them. When they board the plane, they will be heading off to London, England. You may begin the next phase of our plane. The targets are already out and moving about. We're out in the countryside of Kansas, so this one should be fast and easy." Said Jason/Ansem.
"Excelent. I'll call you when i have aquired the targets." Said Xaldin.
"See that you do." Said Jason/Ansem before ending the call. The boy then sat his cellphone back on his bed and an evil smirk appeared on his lips.
"JASON! BREAKFAST!" Gigi shouted loud from down stairs so her son could hear her.
Jason closed his laptop, got off the bed and exited his room, heading down stairs to have breakfast with his Mom before getting ready for school.
##################################################################################
Back outside, Mickey and Max ran down the grassy road of the farm, with wooden fenses on both sides, and Dice and Olive chased after them.
"Come on, Dice and Olive, try to keep up!" Said Mickey.
"(Muffled) Yeah, try to keep up!" Max added, with the apple in his mouth.
"Don't worry, we are!" Said Dice. "Right, Olive?" The eight week old black-spotted Dalmatian puppy looked back at the limon spotted Dalmatian and she barked at him. Dice turnned his attention back to the twins and continued persuing them. That is until he saw a little kitten standing on the right in front of a fense. "The chase is on." Dice then took off after the kitten through the wide, endless, grassy open field, leaving Mickey, Max and Olive behind, who were still playing their game.
##################################################################################
Meanwhile, the school bus drove up on the property of the farm and the door slid open and an 11 year old girl, with brown hair and brown eyes, rushed off the bus and ran towards the house.
Molly barked as she looked at the girl.
"Hi, Molly." Said the girl as she ran past the female Dalmatian and went up to the front door of the house. She knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.
Gigi then opened the door and saw the girl standing on the other side. "Oh, hey there, Sabrina. Good morning to you."
"Good morning to you too, miss Miller." Said the 11 year old known as Sabrina.
"So what brings you by this morning?" Gigi asked.
"I came by on the school bus to help pick up Jason? Is he ready?" Sabrina asked.
"I don't know, let me check and see." Said Gigi. "JASON, THE SCHOOL BUS IS HERE, LET'S GO!"
A creepy Jason came down the staircase with his new blue and baby blue 'AIR JORDAN RETRO' backpack on, ready for school, and ran towards Gigi and Sabrina.
"Hi, Ja..." Before Sabrina could finish her sentence, Jason pushed her out of the way, ran out of the house. "son." The 11 year old girl and Gigi watched as the creepy 12 year old boarded the bus.
"Everybody's in a hurry." Said Gigi.
"Yeah...everybody. (Sighs)." Said Sabrina. Sabrina Tiger. She was the only kid Jason had made friends with since he, Gigi, Rex and the dogs had moved here. Well, technically, he didn't make friends with her, she made friends with him. Sabrina had met Jason at school on January 2'd, (2021), the day after New Years, as well as the day after he and his family had moved here. When the teacher had introduced him to the class, he looked really creepy, like he did now, and all of the kids were afraid of him and stirred clear of him because of that. But creepy as Jason was, that wasn't going to stop Sabrina from getting to know the new kid for herself. When the class was in the cafeteria during snackbreak, Sabrina noticed that Jason was sitting at a table all by himself, just stairing around at the whole cafeteria real creepy-like. Sabrina saw this as her oppertunity to make a new friend and went over to the table where Jason was sitting and joined the 12 year old. The then 10 year old girl greeted the boy and introduced herself to him. The boy simply said his name and nothing more. Despite the silent treatment, Sabrina sat with him throughout the whole break, talking to him, as well as throughout recess, lunch and P.E. She also sat with him on the bus ride home. While he may not have concidered her as a friend, she did consider him as one. It was like this everyday for the rest of (2021)...and was still going on today.
"Don't worry, Sabrina. He'll come around...someday." Said Gigi.
"I hope so, miss Miller...i hope so." Said Sabrina. "Bye." The 11 year old girl ran over to the bus and boarded it. The door then closed and the bus turnned around and drove off down the grass road it had came down earlier.
Gigi and Molly watched as the bus left down the grass road, thinking about her son...and Sabrina. She was the only friend he had. The only friend he had ever made since they moved here a year ago. She had hoped that his spending time with Sabrina would help bring him around. But after a year had passed, with no change of any kind,...she didn't see that happening. He was doomed to remain like this now and forever. Gigi would give anything to have the old Jason back.
But what she didn't know was that that was never going to happen...not in this life.
##################################################################################
Dice ran through the endless, grassy field, chasing the kitten in hot persuit. He chased the little furry animal onto the property of another farm and stopped in his tracks when the kitten ran behind a hissing cat upahead.
"Miss Socks!" Dice gasped.
"No you didn't chase one of my lil kittens!" Said the cat known as miss Socks.
"Uh...i wasn't chasing. I was...uh...escorting. Yeah, that's it." Said Dice.
"Boy, i have a good mind to swatt choo up-side the head. What's wrong with choo?" Miss Socks asked.
"Uh, nothing. Nothing, nothing's wrong with me. I just remembered. I have a family meeting to get to. Bye." Said Dice before running off in the direction he came from, with the mother cat chasing him.
"If i catch choo, nine lives won't be enough!" Said miss Socks as she chased after the eight week old Dalmatian puppy.
##################################################################################
Meanwhile, Olive was still chasing after Mickey and Max down the grass covered road. The sibblings soon came to a stop when they reached the end of the grassy road.
"Oh yeah! We won! Little brothers rule and big brothers and little sister's drool!" Said Mickey.
Olive barked at her two twin brothers.
"Ya snooze, ya lose." Said Max after dropping the green apple out of his mouth. "Hey, where'd Dice go?" He asked, looking around for his older brother.
"I was right behind us, but now he's gone." Said Mickey.
"Psst." Said Dice, who was hidding in some bushes.
Mickey, Max and Olive looked and saw Dice hidding in a bush.
"Yo, dogs, is the coast clear?" Asked Dice as he stepped out of the bushes.
"Dice, what are you hidding from now?" Max asked.
"Who, me? I'm not hidding. I was just thinking of playing some...hide and seek." Said Dice before running out of the bushes and running off to hide.
"Seeking truth is a great start to our day." Said Max.
"Whatever. Don't forget to come find us after ten bones." Said Mickey before he and Olive ran off to hide, leaving Max to count to ten.
No sooner than his three sibblings found a good hidding spot, Mickey noticed an ice-cream truck parked on the right side of the street.
"Ice-cream." Said Mickey.
Inside the driver's side of the truck sat a man with long black hair, wearing a black hooded coat. This was Xaldin, the third member of the Dark 13, watching Max across the street. "It is time." He said before pressing a button that slid open the back door of the truck, revealing several containers of ice-cream inside. He then got out a gold silent dog whistle and blew on it.
Mickey ran across the street towards the truck.
"7...8...9...10. Ready or not, here i come." Said Max, opening his eyes, only to his twin brother, Mickey, running across the street. "Mickey, i see you."
Mickey ran to the back of the ice-cream truck, ran up the slope, and got inside the vehicle.
"Mickey, stop!" Said Max.
Dice and Olive came out of their hidding spots and saw Mickey boarding the back of the ice-cream truck.
"Mickey!" Said Dice.
"Mick, what are you doing?!" Max asked as he, Dice and Olive chased after their brother. "Mickey, come back here!"
"Hold up, dog!" Said Dice.
Inside the truck, Mickey looked at all of the containers of ice-cream, unable to decide which one to dig into first. "Oh, sweet mama." The eight week old Dalmatian puppy walked towards the containers, ready to choose which one to take first.
"That mutt's got a one track stomach!" Said Dice as he and his other two sibblings ran up to the truck. The three Dalmatians then stopped in their tracks and turnned to each other.
"Olive, we'll grab Mickey. Dice, you're on the look out. If the driver sees you, bark twice, got it?" Said Max.
"If that driver spots me, i'll deliver him the tail whoopin of his life." Said Dice.
"Mm-hm." Said Max before he and Olive ran up the slope and into the back of the truck. Inside the truck, the two puppies looked around for their second born brother.
As if on cue, Mickey surfaced from inside one of the containers, covered in bananna blue ice-cream. "Hey, guys, check it out! Free ice-cream!"
"I aint scared of nothin." Said Dice, standing outside the truck. The eight week old pup then noticed, miss Socks standing on the other side of the street on the grassy road. The black and white cat then hissed at him. "AH! Miss Socks!" The Dalmatian ran up the slope and into the truck where his brothers and sister were.
"What are you doing here? You're suppose to be on the look out." Said Max.
"I thought i could protect you better from in here." Said Dice.
Up front, in the driver's seat, Xaldin pressed a button that closed the door to the truck, trapping the puppies inside.
"Uh, now what are we going to do, Mr. Fraidy cat?" Max asked.
"Chill, Max, this might not be so bad after all. I mean they've got chocolate chip ice-cream." Said Dice.
"I choose the orio chip ice-cream." Said Mickey.
"Maybe i'll have teensy, weensy bit of strawberry." Said Max.
The four Dalmatian puppies then went towards the containers to dig into the ice-cream, unaware that the ice-cream truck was driving off down the street, with them inside.
Xaldin got out his cellphone and dialed a number and waited for someone to answer.
##################################################################################
Meanwhile, in town, the school bus pulled up beside the Kansas High School, the door slid open, and all of the kids got off and headed inside the school. Jason was the last to get off, follow by Sabrina, he went on ahead of the creepy 12 year old.
As the bus drove off, Jason's cellphone rang and he answered it. "Hello?"
"Hi, it's me. I've aquired the four targets. I'm on my way to the airport right now." Said Xaldin.
"Good. I'll contact Xemnas and let him know he can proceed with the next phase of our plan." Said Jason before ending the call. He then dialed another number and waited for someone to pick up on the other end.
"Hello?" Came the voice of Xemnas on the other line.
"Hi, it's me again. Xaldin has aquired the four targets and is on his way to the airport as we speak. You may begin the next phase of our plan." Said Jason.
"Understood." Said Xemnas.
Jason then ended the call and placed his cellphone back in his pocket.
"Hey." Said Sabrina as she walked up to Jason, who turnned to face her.
"Hey." Said Jason.
"Who was that you were on the phone with just now?" Sabrina asked.
Instead of answering Sabrina's question, Jason walked off towards the school building.
"Hey! Hey, wait up!" Said Sabrina as she ran after Jason.

Ontario, Canada
Back over in Canada, outside the animal shelter, in the parking lot, inside his black car, Xemnas reached into his pocket and got out a silent dog whistle.
"Time for the next phase of our plan." Said Xemnas. He then placed the whistle to his lips and blew it.
Meanwhile, in the back yard of the animal shelter, Copper was in his cage, listening to some music on Keegan's iPod.
This of course got the attention of Carl, who opened the gate and entered inside. "Well, well...what do we have here?" He said before approaching the seven week liver-spotted Dalmatian. "Hey, hey. Now you won't be needin' this, now will ya?" Said Carl as he placed his hand on the iPod.
Copper's ears then twitched and the brown spotted puppy lundged at Carl, headbutting him in the stomach and knocking him to the ground, with the iPod in his hand. The puppy exited the cage and headbutted the gate, closing it and locking Carl inside.
Carl got up and ran up to the gate, rattling it with both hands. "Hey! Let me out of here!"
Having now escaped his imprisonment, Copper ran off, leaving Carl behind.
"HEY! COME BACK HERE! LET ME OUT OF THIS CAGE!" Carl screamed.
Copper ran around to the front of the building and went up to the black car. Xemnas opened the front door, picked up the puppy and closed the door. The mysterious guy then backed his car up and sped off out of the parking lot and drove down the street.
##################################################################################
Ontario, Canada Airport
The Lewis family soon arrived at the Ontario airport and headed inside the building.
"All passengers heading for London, England, the plane will leave in less than 10 minutes. All passengers to London, England in 10 minutes." Said a male voice.
The plane to London was now in the bright, blue sky, headed for the United Kingdom, with all of it's passengers on board, including the Lewis family. Jerry and Linda sat together while Keegan sat up front all alone, listening to his iPod.
"Oh, Jerry, just imagine. Me, Linda T. Lewis, running the city of London, England. My home town. Boy, what a promotion. Our lives are about to change for the better." Said Linda.
Jerry looked up front, where Keegan was sitting, and saw that his son was visably upset and went to sit with him.
Keegan removed one of the plugs from his ear to hear what his Dad had to say.
"Hey. I got a suprise for you." Said Jerry.
"Really, what?" Keegan asked.
Jerry reached into his pocket and pulled out two tickets. "Season tickets to the baseball."
Keegan's smile slowly faded into a frown.
"I love you, Keegan. You're gonna have to trust me on this. Come on. Try and cheer up some." Said Jerry.
"Okay...i trust you." Said Keegan.
Jerry smiled, knowing that he had succeeded in lightning the mood and cheering his son up a little.
Way in the back, Xigbar, the second member of the Dark 13, sat in his seat, wearing a black hooded fur coat, with the hood down. He then got out his cellphone and dialed a number and waited for someone to answer. "Hi, Xemnas. It's me, Xigbar. I'm on board the plane with the Lewis family and we're on our way to London right now."
"Exellent. Xaldin and i have the five targets and we're heading for the airports right now. Once we've shipped them off, i'll call Ansem and have him contact Dr. Xehanort to let him know the plan was a success. In the mean time, you make sure you keep a close eye on the Lewis family. Don't let them out of your sight." Said Xemnas.
"You got it." Said Xigbar before hanging up.

U.S. Kansas Airport
Back in America, at the U.S. Kansas airport, the ice-cream truck was parked on the back side of the airport, where a black plane was parked, with the D13 symbol on it. The cargo of the plane let itself down, revealing Vexen and another guy.
Xaldin got out of the truck and walked up to the cargo. "Greetings, Vexen...Lexaeus."
"Xaldin." Said Vexen and Lexaeus.
"I have the targets with me. Is everything ready?" Xaldin said.
"Just load the targets in the cargo and we're good to go." Said Vexen.
Meanwhile, inside the truck, the Miller puppies were now exhasted after each of them had finished eating a whole container of ice-cream.
Mickey yawned,
"So full. I can barely stay awake." Said Max.
Xaldin drove the ice-cream truck up the slope and into the cargo. He then exited the vehicle, follow by the cargo, and he, Vexen and Lexaeus boarded their plane and it flew off into the sky, heading off for it's unknown destination.
##################################################################################
Ontario, Canada Airport
At the Ontario, Canada airport, Xemnas's car was parked on the back side of the airport, holding Copper in his arms, standing behind a black plane with the D13 symbol on it.
Two other male members of the Dark 13 exited the plane and walked up to Xemnas.
"Hello, Zexion...Saix." Xemnas greeted.
"Xemnas." Said Zexion and Saix.
"Is every thing ready to go?" Saix asked.
"Yes. The Lewis family are on their way to London right now, even as we speak. I also received a phone call from Ansem stating that Xaldin has aquired the four targets." Said Xemnas.
"Then we can move forward with the next phase of our plan?" Saix asked.
Xemnas removed his hood, revealing himself as a man with tan skin, orange eyes and long, silver, spikey hair. "Indeed."
With all of that said and done, the three men boarded the plane and flew off to their next destination.

U.S. Kansas High School
Meanwhile, in Kansas, at the school, inside the cafeteria, Jason sat at a table all alone, eating a subway sandwitch. He and his class were on snack break. While eating his sandwitch, the creepy 12 year old's cellphone rang and he answered it.
"Hello?" Jason said.
"Hi, it's me again. We're headed off to our next destination." Said Xemnas.
"Perfect. I'll contact Dr. Xehanort and let him know our mission was a success." Said Jason before ending the call.
"Jason...who were you talking to just now?" Said Sabrina, who had been standing behind Jason, listening in on the conversation.
"Go away! This doesn't concern you!" Said Jason as he turnned to face Sabrina.
"Why are you so mad?" Sabrina asked.
"It's a secret. You can't tell anyone. Not your friends, not your family, not my Mom, my Dad, no one." Said Jason.
Sabrina then walked away, leaving Jason alone once again.
Jason then dialed a number on his cell and waited for someone to pick up.
"Yes?" Came the voice of Dr. Xehanort on the other end.
"Dr. Xehanort? It's me, Ansem. Both missions were a success. Xemnas and Xaldin are on their way to their next destination right now." Said Jason/Ansem.
"Perfect. Just what i wanted to hear. Thanks for the update...Ansem." Said Xehanort.
"You're welcome...doctor." Said Jason before ending the call and smiling evily.
##################################################################################
Up in outer space, not too far away from planet Earth, was a large, gray, massive space station, and inside on the top floor were countless robots sitting at control pannel desks in front of a huge, massive theater screen that took up the whole wall. On the screen were countless surveillance screens. Some of them showed the property of the Miller farm in Kansas, another showed the Lewis family on the plane to London, England, and the last one showed Jason at school, in the cafeteria, eating his subway sandwitch.
Sitting in a seat, in front of a big control pannel desk was none other than Dr. Xehanort.
A robot then came up behind him, holding a silver platter with a silver top covering it. "Your dinner, doctor." Said the robot as it removed the silver lid from the platter, revealing a rich, fancy dinner.
"Thank you." Said Xehanort.
The robot then placed the dish on the control pannel.
"What's the progress on the Ansem Progamming Project?" Xehanort asked.
"Current status on Jason/Ansem is...104 percent successful." Said the robot.
"And what about Jason's inner self? Any signs on him?" Xehanort asked.
"Negetive. Senserse indecate no signs of Jason Miller's inner self dwelling within him his body. Only Ansem." Said the robot.
"Perfect. That means that Ansem is getting stronger and stronger on the inside of his new body. He has hleped us complete the first phases of our goal for this year. Now we just have to sit back and watch the rest of the plan play out...at least for now." Said Xehanort.
