2 World War ch.8-Zeke's Mission

-3 months ago-

The wolf, known as Zeke was in his dark prison cell. He lied on his bed and calmly whistled a tune that was unfortunately heard from neighboring cells. “Ogh, he’s at it again?” One cranky cellmate said with a dry throat.

“Will you stop that!” Another cellmate irately said with a German accent. Zeke ignored both of them and continued whistling the same tune. “If you don’t cease, I’ll make sure the rest of your life will be horrible agony.”

“Heh, like I’m scared of blue man and demented.”  Zeke said smugly before continued whistling.

“I am not demented! I am Professor Dementor!” The German cellmate yelled in anger.

“And I am Dr. Drakken.” The other cellmate announced sounding more annoyed then angry. “And you’re disturbing my beauty sleep with that horrid racket.”

“It’s not racket.” Zeke said, finally stopping. “It’s my theme song.”

“Theme song?” Both other cellmates questioned.

“Yeah, three little pigs made this song about me when I tried to eat them. And the name just stuck.” Zeke specified.

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Big bad wolf, big bad wolf?
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
Tra la la la la.

He sang that one verse in the same tune of his whistling. “And that’s where my nickname came. The Big Bad Wolf, heheh.”

“Wow, that’s a really good story. Now shut up and let me sleep!” Dementor yelled out.

“Hmph.” Zeke expressed, but was too tired to say anymore.

A few hours later, Zeke woke up and heard footsteps heading his way. When the footsteps got closer, he stayed still and pretended to sleep. The footsteps then stopped at his cell. “Ah, here we are.” Mortimer Mouse said with two guards accompanying him. “Prisoner: 475964, Drew Theodore P. Lipsky and Prison: 639650, Demenz.”

“Ugh, what is it now?” Drakken complained in a grumpy mood. “And how come you didn’t say his full name?”

“That’s the only real name we have of him.” Mortimer answered him, which irritated Drakken.

“It’s called secret identity.” Dementor teased him.

“Shut up, you walking steroid.” Drakken shot back.

“Ahem.” Mortimer cleared his throat. “The King asked for you two to report to the castle for a job. And if you succeed, you’ll earn your freedom.”

“Really?” Dementor and Drakken said in disbelieve, grabbing the bars of their cells. Both guards then opened the cells with keys.

“Well, it’s about time.” Drakken said.

“And I was going to plot my escape tomorrow. What conceivable timing.” Dementor said

Zeke then rushed to the front of his cell. “Hey, wait a minute. What about me?”

“You?” Mortimer read the numbers on his prison shirt and then flipped through the clipboard he held. “Zeke Midas Wolf.” He read off a clipboard. He then grew a devilish smirk. “You’re going to be executed next week.” He said with coldness, which irritated Zeke. Enough for him to stick his hand and clawed at Mortimer. He quickly backed away in fear as his guards grabbed Zeke and shocked him with stun sticks. Zeke then fell to the hard stone cold floor.

“Ha, that’s rich. Try singing a song now.” Drakken teased, exiting his cell.

“That’s it. I’m transferring out of this dump.” Mortimer growled, before walking away. “Come on.”

“Have fun whistling. Big Dead Wolf, hahaha.” Dementor mocked Zeke, before he and Drakken followed Mortimer out. When it was silent once more, all Zeke could think of doing was whistle again.

-Five days later-

Zeke remained on his bed and barely ate his daily meals. He scratched his claws on the wall, drawing pictures of three houses, three pigs, and him. While doing this, he again whistled in tune. “Ahem.” Zeke heard from outside the cell. He looks to see Mortimer standing there with double the amount of guards as last time.

“You again?” Zeke ranted. “What is it this time?”

“The King asked for you to report to the castle.” Mortimer stated, catching Zeke off guard. “He has use for someone like you.”

It was then the wolf finally cracked a smile. “Bout time.”

-Later at the Disney Castle-

Like others, Zeke was requested to aid the Disney Forces in the war with their skill and expertise. Zeke had an expertise of disguise and infiltration. Perfect for a war.

Guarded by guards and shackled, Zeke stood along Shego, MonkeyFist, and Duff in the Grand Hall. Mickey sat alone on his throne and looked down to them. Zeke heard a lot about Mickey being a kind and happy King. Mickey’s expression was neither calm nor friendly, but more determine and serious.

“I called you here because I need your help.” Mickey suddenly said. “The Disney Forces is not in the condition to defend this kingdom in a war. That’s why we need people like you to fight in front lines.”

“Tsk, and what’s in it for us, your highness.” Shego called out. 

“You’ll get your freedom. And this.” With glowing blue hands Mickey then shoots at the floor in front of him. A second later, a big pile of gold appeared before them. Duff was so dumbfounded he fell to his knees and crawled to the gold. The guards quickly kick him back. “Do we have an agreement?” With that, the four nodded in agreement.

On their first task, Zeke and the rest of them used a portal to simultaneously break into an enemy base. The entire compound was run by nothing but children no older than 12. But Zeke could care less.

While the others attacked different location, Zeke went straight for the top. Once he reaches a large silver doors labeled ‘Global Command’, several other kids sneak behind him with 2x4 rocket launchers. Zeke then turned to them with his claws out. “Fire!” one kid yelled, before the rest shot their rockets. But Zeke was a split second too fast when dodges the rockets in inches. As the rockets exploded near the door, Zeke clawed out to the kids, not wasting anytime knocking them out.

He then entered into a large room that looked like the main command center for the whole base. Because of the rockets the room was in complete wreckage. Zeke then sees a little blonde girl alone on the floor who was still breathing. When his shadow covers her, the girl turns to her back to get a good look at Zeke. The dizziness in her face was enough to get Zeke to snicker. “Heh. Like taking candy from a baby. Easiest job ever.” He then raises his hand with his claws out for a strike. But as he was about to attack, his wrist gets caught by some kind of thread. "What the..."

"Now!" one boy yelled, while another came out of nowhere and attempted to slam a stop sign staff right at his head. Zeke heard her battle cry and dodged it. The boy then joined in. These kids were more skilled than the other ones Zeke faced. They were quick and used the room to their advantage. All Zeke could do was cover up as the redhead girl shot at him a blaster.

"This…this is Supreme Leader Numbuh 362 of the Kids Next Door. This is a message to all sectored KND operatives.” Zeke heard. He then looks to see the blonde girl had managed to crawl all over to a computer.

“Oh no you don’t.” Zeke growled, charging at her. He then gets a thread wrapped around his neck, nearly chocking him.

“Like I’ll let you even get near her.” The boy said, holding the thread.

After ripping the thread of his neck, Zeke turns to the boy. “You really think that would hold me?”

“No, just stall you.” The boy told him.

Before Zeke could react, the redheaded girl came from behind him and slammed the stop sign staff on his head. Zeke then fell hard on the floor, but quickly got back in an angrier mood. “That’s it.” He said under his teeth. “I didn’t sign up for this to play games with little brats like you.”

“Hey wolf.” Shego called out from the entrance.

“What do you want?” Zeke asked, about to loses his patience.

“Our job’s done here.” She ordered. “The King has something special to do here.”

“Like what?” Zeke questioned.

“Don’t know, don’t care.” She said with aloofness. “Now come on.”

“But I’m not done here yet.” He growled at her.

A portal then suddenly opened behind her. “Suit yourself.” She told him before she disappeared though the portal. Growling in frustration, Zeke did as she said and ran towards the portal.

“We won’t let you get away.” The boy yelled, throwing a very thin thread lasso. This time, Zeke was ready and jumped to the left, dodging it. He then sees the redheaded girl charging at him.

Smirking, Zeke evades the staff and grabs the girl’s head. “Catch!” he yells while throwing the girl to the boy, who caught her in the air.

But before Zeke entered the portal, “Hey!” he heard. He stops and turns to see the blonde girl getting up off the floor. “We’re not brats; we’re the Kids Next Door. And you won’t get away with this.”

Zeke just stood there for a second and looked at the determination in her eyes. The situation then changed when the whole room began to shake and glow bright blue. Zeke then grinned at the confused and scared expressions on the kids’ faces. “Doesn’t look like it.” He then jumps through the portal, not even knowing what demise the kids endured.

-Months of similar deeds later-

"Well? I did as you said. I've done my job for months now. Am I free to go?" Zeke questioned Mickey, anxious to hear an answer.

"Zeke, watch how you talk to the King." Jiminy ordered. Zeke said nothing but growled.

"Not yet." King Mickey told him, enraging Zeke

"What!?" Zeke growled. "We had a deal."

"Zeke!" Jiminy yelled, losing his patience.

"I still have a job for you to do." Mickey told him. He then turned to Jiminy. "Jiminy, bring Donald and Goofy to my office. And then assemble all the Military personnel to the Main Courtyard."

"Right away, sir." Jiminy then leaped away in a hurry. Mickey looked at Zeke, who couldn't help but growl at him.

Mickey thought little of it and walked over to a cabinet on the wall. He opens it, showing a variety of colored capsules. He takes one and walks over to Zeke.

"Take this." Mickey ordered, handing Zeke a glass capsule of blue elixir.

"O-K, so what's this supposed to be?" Zeke questioned, analyzing the capsule carefully.

"Shape Shifting Potion." Mickey answered. He walked by Zeke without even looking at him.

"Huh? Shape shifting?" Zeke's surprised and curious expression geared toward Mickey's cold-shouldering attitude.

"There's one last thing I need you to do." Mickey said with his back turn to Zeke. He then turned his head slightly too only get a side glance at him. "And if you get the job done, I'll let you go."

There was then a brief silence. Mickey waiting patiently for an answer, watching Zeke holds the capsule over his head. When it finally hit him, Zeke smiles at the capsule. "Oh. Now I get it." What Mickey didn't see coming is Zeke's sudden chuckle. Not long after, then came a burst of uncontrollable laughter. So loud, the sound of his laughter could be heard all through the empty library. After he was finally done and catching his breath, Zeke turns to Mickey. "No problem. It'll be like taking candy from a baby."

“The potion is designed to focus on age and species. What you would look like is up to your imagination.” Mickey specified. With no hesitation, Zeke pops the cap off and gulps down the potion. Couple of seconds later, Zeke’s body parts individually changed. His fur and tail retracted into his skin, his mouth and snout pulled into his face, he got shorter as his tail disappeared into his body. Finally Zeke transformed into a small Caucasian boy with black wild hair wearing the same red trousers he originally had and a black ripped up shirt.

Zeke looked at himself with amazement. He looked about the age of 8 or 9. He then looked down to see he had no shoes on. “Whoops, forgot the shoes.” Even his voice was different.

“It’ll have to do. I’ll arrange for you a private trip through the portal. And don’t forget. The potion will only last for 6 hours.” Mickey told him.

“And what am I supposed to do when I get there?” Zeke asked him.

“That’s your problem.” Mickey said. Zeke sneered at him, annoyed by his heartlessness.

-Later in CN-

"And your name is…?" The female KND operative asked Zeke.

"Um, Zeke. You can call me Zeke." He said with a small evil smirk.

Thinking little of his smirk and more on the fact that he had no shoes on, the operative wrote his name down on a clipboard. “Alright, welcome to the Sector Z tree house. As of the moment, this will stand as our new headquarters for the time being.” She announced. “This is also our training base for new recruits, our research and science labs…” Zeke zoned her out and got a better look inside the hanger. There were large aircrafts from left to right, heavily armed with blaster and missile torrents. Some operatives were even putting extra metal plating on some aircrafts. He then watched a trolley of rockets passed by him. “Ahem…ahem!” The operative said to Zeke, trying to get his attention. He then finally took notice of her. “Are you done gawking at the airplanes, little boy.” She teased him. Other kids then laughed at him. “Anyway, time for all of you to head over to the Recruit Station for recruitment. Come on.”

The operative then led the group of kids through the base. Zeke played along and followed them. After a few minutes of following, Zeke decided to take his own little tour. Right then, both Numbuh 5 and Dexter exits out of an elevator and passed right by him. When he saw that the elevator was free, he smirked. “Heh, too easy.” He then entered the elevator and pressed any numbered button he could get to.

Being a giant treehouse floating in the sky is merely the scratch of the surface. The entire base was something Zeke has never seen before. Auto slide doors, two door elevators, walls and floors reinforced with hard steel. Parts of the tree even came through the hallways. He walked in a hallway and saw what looked like where the barracks were. Even for Zeke, it was hard to believe that this whole base was constructed by kids under 13. From the looks of the barracks, it was no different with bunk beds stationed from left to right.  

“Um, pardon me.” Zeke her from behind. He turned and actually got taken aback when he’s met by a very small yellow boy with a big, round-shaped bald head. Unlike the others who wore KND armored attire, the boy wore red and black Xiaolin robes. With his two hands together, the boy bowed to Zeke. “Sorry to bother you, but have you seen my dragon.”

“Huh.” Was all Zeke could say arching his eyebrow.

The boy then spread his arms in a small amount. “He’s about this long, two arms, no legs, green scales.”

“Um, no.” Zeke told him.

The boy then signed in disappointment, placing his hands on his face. “Oh no. If I don’t find Dojo soon, the others will surely kick my bucket.” And to make Zeke even more surprised, the yellow boy jumped to a surprising height and leapt away.

“O-K. I wonder if there are more weirdoes around here.” Zeke said to himself. Later on, Zeke made his way the section that held the science labs. But just as he turned a corner, before he even notices, a KND guard wearing sunglasses runs right into him. As Zeke fell he growled in frustration. “Watch where you’re, huh.” He yelled, but then notices the guard’s non-human lime green eyes.

The guard quickly adjusted his glasses back to his face. “Excuse me.” He said, picking himself up and then walking away.

Before Zeke even gets up, the guard was out of sight. “How many freaks do they have in this place?” Hours have passed, and Zeke had been through most of the base. He then snuck his way into a restricted area of Sector Z. It was a section that had the words restricted painted red on the walls.  He was completely alone. At least that's what he thought…

"HI!" Zeke heard from behind, nearly jumping to the ceiling.

He quickly turned around to see a boy with an extremely large pink nose, wearing a blue and white striped shirt with a red hat. "Wha, where'd you come from?"

The boy just stood there, sucking on an orange. He then offered some to Zeke. "Tangelo?" He offered with politeness.

"Tan what?" Zeke asked.

"It'll keep the clowns away." The boy said.

"What clowns?" Zeke told him unkindly.

The boy then unexpectedly grabbed Zeke’s shirt. "They're everywhere. They will come to our homes at night and take all of our YOGART! And they will destroy us all! Destroy us all! Destroy us all! Destroy us all! Destroy us all! Destroy us all! Destroy us all!"

Pushing from the boy’s grasp; Zeke just backed away slowly, allowing the boy to yell ‘destroy us all’ over and over again. Trying to figure out what just happened; Zeke went deeper into the restricted section. It was then he came across a door with a big sign on it that said ‘TOP SECERT-DO NOT ENTER’ in big red letters. Zeke then grinned. “Jackpot.” But before he gets the chance to turn the door knob, Zeke suddenly feels a throb inside him. “What the…” He said before feeling enough throb. He then suddenly hears the King’s voice.

“Don’t forget. The potion will only last for 6 hours.” He heard Mickey’s voice in his head.

Zeke then growled under his teeth. “That stupid mouse didn’t tell me changing back would be this, argh!” He screamed in agony, feeling a much stronger throb.

“Hey, you!” One KND guard yelled as two of them confronted Zeke with 2x4 rifles. “What are you doing here? This is a restricted area.” The guard barked at him.

“Uh…sorry…I got…lost.” Zeke struggled to say, clasped his chest.

“Hey, are you alright?” The other guard asked with a little compassion.

“Yeah, just…something I ate.” Zeke replied.

“Doesn’t matter. You’re coming with us.” Both guards then grabbed both Zeke’s arms. As they dragged him, the throbbing got worse and worse.

“Argh, let me go.” Zeke grunted.

“We’ll let you go when we put you in your cell.” The guard assured.

“Grrr…I said…let go!” Zeke yelled before he pushes both guards to the floor.

They then quickly got back up. “You just bought yourself a one-way ticket to…to…” One guard said before both guards watched as Zeke began to transform.

“Aaargh!” Zeke screamed as he returned to his old self. The guards just stood there as Zeke moaned in ease. He then began cracking his bones, “Ah, that’s better.” Zeke then looked down to the now frightened KND guards and grinned. “Guess the jig is up.”

“Freeze, or we’ll…” But before the guard could even finish, Zeke grabs both their helmets and smashes them hard into each other. Both guards then fell to the floor.

“Ah,” He exclaims as he cracks his neck and arms. “Good to be back in my old body.”

“Aaaah!” Zeke heard from a frightened girl operative. She then immediately ran off.

And before he went after her, Zeke cracked some of his bones one more time. “Well, here we go again.” He then jumps and chases after her.
