Abigail awoke in a panic, her breaths fast and short. Her pupils dilated as they adjusted to the buzzing, fluorescent light bulbs in her room. The room was empty and metallic, looking no different than the rest of the facility. Abigail sighed in relief, realizing that the whole emotional breakdown she went through didn't actually happen and we can all move past it.

But Abigail then realized that it should be morning, which means her friends may have finally arrived! She excitedly jumped out of bed and exited the room.

Walking over to the elevator in the middle of the hall, she entered the room and pressed the button labeled 1 with a click. The floor numbers go down the closer they are to the surface, you see. And then Abigail took a nap because it takes like 17 hours to get from the core of the earth to the crust. The facility had very poor design.

As she waited, she noticed a splash of what looked like red paint on the wall. Investigating it further, she found it was actually Blood! Something suspicious happened in here, and Abigail was going to find out. Abigail was chosen as the one operation BUD agent to coordinate and lead the rest of the team due to her stealth, recon, and overall skill. When she starts a mission, she doesn't stop until it's complete.

17 hours later, the elevator doors opened shut and Abigail stepped out into the field outside. As if on cue, Geoff landed with a crazy double backflip pirouette combo as Debra landed next to him, eagle in tow. Don was the next to arrive, materializing out of thin air, as Josh stepped out of his driverless uber and watched the car return to the road. Dom also arrived, walking into view.

[initiate auditorial conversation]

Abigail: sup guys

Geoff: what up

Josh: hey

Don: hi

Debra: hello

Dom: greetings

Abigail: are we missing anybody?

Suddenly, the chopper that had been sitting there turned off its invisibility and dropped Spencer on the ground with a thud. He got to his feet, giving all of his friends the middle finger.

Spencer: you guys are the WORST friends EVER

Spencer: OF ALL TIME

Spencer: FUCK ALL OF YOU

Abigail: alright, now that everybody's here, we can get started.

Debra: what are we doing?

Abigail: just follow me into the elevator, and we'll explain inside.

With confused looks, everybody stepped into the elevator, except for Spencer, who had to be dragged in by Josh.

Abigail hit the button labeled 15, and the elevator shot down.

Spencer: Where the FUCK are we even going?

Abigail: this is where I live.

Josh: you'd think with us being friends and all we'd meet up more often

Spencer: I would LOVE to AVOID any possible time spent with YOU

Don: so, you live underground?

Don: that's pretty cool

Debra: don't you ever get outside?

Abigail: *shrug* sometimes

Abigail: also, we should all find a place to sleep

Abigail: it's a long way down

Suddenly, Dominic collapsed. That's what happens when you walk like 27 miles straight I suppose.

Everybody took their places and rested while they traveled toward the center of the earth. In the morning, they groggily woke up to see the elevator doors open shut.

Spencer: FINALLY

Abigail: shut up

They exited the small room, and walked into a larger conference room. Each of them took a seat and scooted up towards the long table in the center of the room. Abigail took her position, standing next to the chair on the end of the table. The chair swiveled around to reveal Sgt. Pepper sitting, his hands in that cool delta illuminati stance.

Josh: are you Abigail's father or

Pepper: I am an acquaintance of hers

Pepper: you probably don't remember me, so allow me to introduce myself.

Pepper: I am Sgt. Pepper. I have been watching you for some time now.

The group glanced at each other, dazed and confused. Pepper stood up and sighed.

Pepper: I'm going to put this bluntly.

Pepper: You all are not normal kids.

Pepper: You do not have parents.

Pepper: You are clones of the Air Buddies.

Spencer: WHAT

Spencer: THE

Spencer: FUCK

Pepper: Let me start from the beginning.

Pepper: I'm sure you are all aware of Air Bud, yes?

Pepper: The spectacular sports loving golden retriever.

Pepper: We have been watching him for some time, and noticed suspicious behavior. He is singlehandedly responsible for many deaths, and just recently caused one of our agents to go rogue and almost murder me.

Pepper: What if I told you that Air Bud is a supernatural being? That there are other universes out there, which may have been his origin?

Josh: I would think you spend too much time watching conspiracy videos.

Pepper: Would you like to see?

With a flip of a switch, a screen behind Pepper started to display a crudely recorded video of Air Bud demolishing a gas station by shooting a ray of yellow energy from his eyes.

Pepper: This recording was shot by our special agent operatives, the Air Buddies. They recorded most of the information we have now of Air Bud. The group consisted of a group of animals that claimed to be of Air Bud's same race, sent to kill him. Their names were Billy, Rosebud, Budderball, Sniffer, Wolf, Mudbud, Belinda, B-Dawg, and Buddha.

The group was shocked by the sound of these names, especially Dominic.

Pepper: You have probably pieced together that these names are your screen names on the message application. These names are used for you as screen names in order to hide your identity from others. Also, you all are clones of the Buddy that you are screen named after.

Pepper: When the buds grew old and neared death, we decide to splice their Dna with human embryos. This set into motion phase 3 of operation bud. We have gathered enough information about Air Bud through Air Buddy Surveillance, and now know some weaknesses of the devil. That's how you came about. You are phase 3, and your mission is to kill Air Bud.

The room grew quiet from this shocking revelation, but was then interrupted by the cries of Josh.

Josh: NO!

Josh: NOT AIRBUD!

Josh; HE WAS TOO YOUNG

Pepper calm yourself

Josh: *sob*

Pepper: anyways, your mission starts tomorrow, where you are going to be extracting an important object from the hands of Air Bud.

Pepper pulled down a projecter like screen that displayed a spherical stone with a yellow tint to it.

Pepper: while surveying Air Bud, we noticed that he always carried this around. Our scans showed that it contained a lot of concentrated power, able to cause great destruction, as you saw in the video.

Pepper: Tomorrow, you will go to Charles' house and take it from him to stop him from future potential attacks.

Everybody looked at each other blankly, then turned back to Pepper.

Dom: Yeah sure

Pepper: That's it

Pepper: you do realize I just told you that you were clones of dogs right

Debra: makes sense

Debra: I mean my government issued wifi had to come from somewhere, so I just assumed it was the earths core.

Abigail : that was easier than expected

Josh: I still don't want to kill AirBud though

Josh: He's the perfect predator

Don: Don't worry Josh, I'm sure we could just tranquilize him or something

Pepper: yeah...

Spencer: WHAT

Spencer: THE

Spencer: FUCK

Abigail: Are you shocked, or are you just being Spencer again?

Spencer: just

Spencer: NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN

Pepper: Well, now that everybody is cool and we all know what's hip and happening, I'll give you a short tour of the facility as I walk you to your rooms.

Pepper led the way as everybody filed out of the conference room. They all entered the elevator, going down to floor 27. Exiting the elevator, the group passed by a large portal looking mechanism being operated by a guy with white hair in a lab coat.

Pepper: I'd like you all to meet Professor Willow

Pepper: He works at the tech department here on Floor 27, which is also the floor where your bedrooms reside.

The guy in the lab coat stumbled to his feet and greeted the crew.

Willow: Hello

Willow: um

Willow: I don't really know what to say

Josh: wait a sec

Josh your name is Professor Willow?

Josh: aren't you that guy in Pokemon GO?

Willow: great question. Pokemon Go was actually a secret tool created by the government so that ordinary civilians can constantly help us triangulate Air Bud's position. I was the head of the project, and they made me the mascot.

Josh: huh

While Willow bragged about how cool he was and how he made a billion dollars from Pokemon go, Spencer examined the strange portal object thing. Pulling outa knife from his knife collection, he slowly pushed the tip of the knife through the vortex. He then retrieved some throwing knifes and took several skilled tossed into the portal.

Willow: so as I was saying-

Willow: WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Spencer: sall good

Willow: THAT PORTAL COULD LEAD ANYWHERE IN ANY UNIVERSE

Willow: WHO KNOWS WHAT THOSE KNJVES COULD HAVE DONE

Spencer: it's probably not important

Willow groaned and deactivated the portal, going back to his work. Pepper led them away and into a hallway of bedrooms, each with two beds

Pepper: feel free to take which ever room you like and make yourselves at home. It's going to be a busy day tomorrow.

Josh: hey Don you mind if we share a room

Don: oh

Don: yeah that's cool

Dom: I'll be alone

Debra: Hey Abby we could share a room

Abigail: sure

Geoff: but wait that means I have to be with

Spencer: FUCK

Spencer: YOU

Geoff: ballz

Everyone filed into their rooms as Pepper returned to his office. Tomorrow was the big day, the day to decide all days. It would singlehandedly save or destroy the hope of humanity. Phase 3 of operation BUD had begun.
