While there, millions of anarchist, Nazi terrorists are working to bring down the city of Beaverville, screaming "DOWN WITH BEAVERVILLE" while they bomb city hall, the library, and every other important place. The neo-nazi anarchy loving terrorists succeed in destroying Beaverville, and move on to Beaverton, Oregon. They make the decision to leave the kids by themselves. Jonathan and Abby are by themselves when Moose, their dog, starts barking frantically, trying to get Jonathan and Abbys' attention. The ground starts rumbling and shaking. It then starts to pour down rain on them. For Abby, the situation was difficult due to her accident when she was two years old, leaving her legs partially paralyzed.
