Zootopia- Monsters and animals.

Chapter one- Meet Jack.

Hey guys, so this is my first fic and I've actually been working on it for awhile. I did it as something to pass the time and wasn't even sure if I would post it. Reason being is because I was so influenced by Tokyo ghoul when I made it I thought it would look like a huge rip off.

But then I thought, fuck it. I'm just doing this for fun and maybe a few of you guys will enjoy the story so who really cares?

That being said, heavy influence by Tokyo ghoul, you'll see characters make references to the series and you'll see a lot of things from the series itself, as well as a lot of similarities (which will make several references make a whole lot of sense)

As for updates and such, I actually have a lot of content… I mean A LOT. Currently 355 pages totalling 120,799 words and still going strong.

So if any of you like the story and are worried about updates don't worry. I won't just fall off the face of the earth and I'll try to update every few days.

With all of that finally out of the way let's begin.

*Disclaimer: I do not own Zootopia or it's characters.*

Today had taken a very strange turn for Jack. One second he was falling off a skyscraper, the next he was suddenly in the middle of an alleyway.

Needless to say Jack was very confused.

'Ok, Jack, let's review.' He thought to himself, trying to organize his thoughts.

'First I was being chased, next I was on the top of the Mardicasco building, I fought the bastards chasing me, fell off the roof and now I'm in an alleyway.'

For Jack being chased, fighting and falling off of skyscrapers was just a part of his everyday life, given the fact that he had some experimental super soldier formula imbedded into his DNA. He was constantly fighting others that had similar formulas because they thought he was strong and wanted to make a name for themselves, that and he had pissed a lot of people off. He had fallen off of at least six skyscrapers and always walked away, well, after a few minutes of his mangled body healing the damage from the fall, but he didn't remember any other buildings even remotely close to this times very tall skyscraper. As a matter of fact the buildings he was currently looking at looked like apartment complexes, although they seemed to be much taller than he would have thought. Jack felt a pricking sensation in his side and felt around for the source. Something was embedded in his side. Pulling the object out, he noticed it looked like a shard made out of bone.

'One of the bastards must have had a bone armament.' Jack thought casually. Armaments, a mutation that occurred because of the super soldier serums. It granted the person the ability to restructure bone, blood or muscle as a weapon outside of the body. Usually the formulas were specific in which abilities were more enhanced like strength, healing and speed but the mutations themselves were completely random, you couldn't choose what you got and you only get one. In the rare occasion two. Not even the scientists that created the damn thing could choose who got what.

Jack was the unique exception, he had all three armament types. Which was why he was such a big target.

Anyone with any of the variations in their body was known as an G.E.O.S, short for Genetically enhanced organism , lame right? Sadly it was the actual name given to them by the government dick heads in charge of spreading the facts over the media.

Discarding the bloody bone shard Jack started to observe his surroundings, quickly noticing the bright neon lights at the end of the alley. Jack concluded that he was in the middle of the city during the late evening.

After getting up and quickly dusting himself off, Jack cautiously made his way to the alley entrance. Jack Peeked his head out from the Alley and his jaw nearly hit the ground. What he saw was not humans during the late hours, oh god no, what he saw were animals.

Anthropomorphic animals to be exact and no humans in sight either.

Jack quickly back stepped into the alleyway and shook his head.

"Calm down, Jack. You've seen weirder shit, hell you've been through weirder shit!" Jack said to himself in an attempt to stay calm, he slapped his cheeks for good measure to get over the shock.

He froze on the spot.

Rubbing his cheeks he didn't feel skin, he felt…fur!?

Looking down at his hands, Jack saw his hands covered with black, yellow and orange fur. He zipped down his black hoodie and pulled up his grey T-shirt and saw that his entire body was covered in fur!

"What the fuck happened to my body!?" Jack demanded in disbelief.

'Ok, Jack. Don't panic, don't panic god damnit!' Too late, he was panicking.

Jack threw caution to the wind and ran out of the alleyway and desperately started searching for a shop window or a mirror or…anything! He didn't have to look for very long he came across what looked like a pawn shop and froze in place when he saw his own reflection. He looked like a goddamn tabby cat!

An extra kick to his pride was that he was about two feet shorter. Jack considered himself very tall for an eighteen year old, he stood at nearly six feet. Now he barely went over four feet.

His head bumped against the shops glass window as he tried to take in all this new weirdness. Jack was panicking and he knew that panicking always led to rash decisions and more bullshit than he really needed so he tried his best to collect himself. Jacks thoughts were interrupted by a booming voice.

"Hey, kid! Could you not press head against shops window? Bad for business and a pain to clean off later." A very tall and annoyed looking grizzly bear said as he stared at Jack. The bear was standing there with his arms crossed wearing a white sweater and a pair of faded jeans, Jack noticed he wasn't wearing any shoes.

"Uhh, s-sorry, kind of rough night and got lost in my train of thought" Jack said nervously.

The bear frowned. "Rough night? Rough how?" Jack noticed the bear had bit of an accent, it sounded Russian actually.

Jack really had no idea how he could possibly explain this. 'Yeah I come from a world full of beings called humans and no walking, talking animals like yourself and a group of people were also chasing me up this skyscraper trying to kill me, although I guess it's an everyday thing after you've been part of a very illegal super soldier program against your will and they think you're the top dog, then I fall off said building and end up in the middle of I-don't-fucking- know – where.' Yeah, they'd lock him away somewhere dark and cramped for sure if he went with that.

"Umm, just a bit lost is all, I'm new to the city and don't know where anything is, I'm also short on cash." Jack said. It was the truth but a highly censored version of the truth.

The Bear nodded in understanding. "One moment." He said holding up a…finger?... Claw?...Whatever.

The bear came back a few minutes later with a pamphlet and piece of paper.

"Map of Zootopia and its areas. Directions to nearby hotel, and also." He pulled something out of his pocket. "Forty dollars for food and laundromat, clothes are a bit muddy." The bear said winking.

Jack looked down and felt his face heating up, his clothes were covered in mud and other kinds of ick that he didn't even want to think about.

"T-thanks, but I only need the map and directions." Jack said trying to hide the embarrassment in his voice.

The bear shook his head and placed the money and papers into his hands, or paws more like it.

"Take money, I make plenty. Besides you look like the nights been rough." The bear said with a smile.

Jack nodded, he put the papers and money into his pocket and extended his paw. "Thank you, I'm Jack."

The bear shook his paw. "Chris, is a pleasure to meet you, be safe kid."

Jack nodded and started to walk down the street.

Chris looked on as the feline kid walked down the street. "Good luck kid, stay safe." He mumbled as he went back into his shop

Jack took out the pamphlet and directions and saw that the bear had quickly circled a Street in an area called Savanna Central in marker with the word 'Here.' Jack followed the directions and was still in shock over everything he was seeing. Animals of almost every type were around him, although he suspected that come morning there would three times as many. Now that he was in the open streets he saw just how truly big the city was. It was incredible!

Jack shook his head. 'Oh man, what have I gotten myself into this time?'

Following the directions he came across what looked like a roadside motel, something you'd find in the middle of nowhere for tourists on a road trip. The neon sign read 'The Husky Inn.'

Jack gulped at the name as remembered how he now looked, he was really hoping that if the motel was actually run by huskies that cats and dogs got along in this world.

As he opened the glass door and a bell jingled Jack was caught a whiff of freshly bathed dog, looking towards the reception he saw a female husky typing away at her computer. Ok so the motel was run by dogs, hopefully they're friendly.

Jack walked up to the counter and cleared his throat to get the receptionists attention. She looked at him and looked somewhat surprised.

"Hi, umm, I was wondering how much for the night?" Jack asked nervously

The receptionist blinked a few times and lightly shook her head.

"The price? Oh! Yes! Sorry. The price for one night is fifty dollars." She answered politely. "Sorry, about that, we usually don't get many feline customers so it took me a second! I'm Madison, is there anything else I can help you with" she said good naturedly

Jack smiled at the friendly husky but it slowly faded when he realized that he wouldn't have enough.

"Oh, umm, I actually don't have enough, I've only got forty and I still need to get something to eat. Sorry for bothering you." Jack said politely. He turned toward the door.

'Great, looks like I'm sleeping in the street tonight. I wonder if I'd have enough to buy a blanket after I eat.'

Madison looked at the poor kid as he headed to the door. He looked like he was having a rough night, His fur was completely messed up, his clothes were absolutely filthy and torn. Maybe it was just her imagination but she thought she caught the scent of his blood. Oh what the heck, she was the owner, she could bend a few rules and help the poor kid out.

"Oh! Sir!" She called out to him. He looked back confused. "I apologize I forgot to mention that we currently have a promotion going on and tourists now have fifteen dollars off, also you look like you're maybe eighteen so we'll consider you a minor so the rate for minors is actually twenty five dollars, applying all of that you can rent a room for ten dollars tonight." Madison said cheerfully.

Jack couldn't believe what he was hearing. Ten dollars? For a room? It sounded strange to him but after everything happening he really didn't care.

"I'll take a room for the night then please." Jack said highly relieved and happy.

He paid Madison the ten dollar fee and was showed to his room.

"Oh I was wondering, do you know any cheap places nearby where I could grab a bite to eat?" Jack asked curiously.

Madison nodded. "Yep, just down the road, you'll see a few fast food places." She leaned in and whispered in his ear. "I can leave a spare change of clothes and bring yours to the wash if you want."

Jack felt his face heating up again, were his clothes really that bad? "Thank you I really would appreciate it."

As soon as she left Jack stripped off all of his clothing and threw them on the bed. The bathroom was small but decent, there wasn't any grime or bugs anywhere and it didn't smell bad, he saw that it wasn't a new shower it was still a bathtub and a showerhead with some floral patterned shower curtains. Jack didn't complain as he started the shower and felt the warm water hit his exhausted body. It had been a really long day and this was so needed.

After ten minutes he decided he had been in long enough, he wrapped the towel around his waist and peeked his head out the bathroom door. He saw that his clothes were gone and had been replaced with some fresh, folded ones instead. On top of the clothes was a note.

"Sorry if the size is a bit off but hopefully these fit!"

-Madison

He smiled at the note, it had been awhile since anyone had shown him kindness and generosity and already two people had done more for him in one night than anyone else had in the past few years. After drying off Jack quickly dressed and found that while the black pants were an ok fit the blue shirt was a size to big and looked kind of baggy. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. Now on to more important matters, food!

Jack made his way down the brightly lit street, even during nighttime it was still fairly bright due to all the neon signs. Jack found a place that looked like a McDonalds except it was called McDuckalds…. He wasn't even going to bother commenting on that.

Luckily it wasn't very busy and he was able to order fairly quickly. As soon as he was out of the restaurant Jack found a bench just outside of a park where he could eat in peace. He'd sit inside and eat but he felt really out of place. Jack devoured the burgers and fries in a matter of seconds, he was hungry and his body needed energy, an unfortunate side effect of the experimentation done to him. If Jack didn't eat he'd run out of energy, and if he ran out of energy he couldn't use his armaments and if he couldn't use those he was as good as screwed. Luckily fast food was fairly cheap and had lots of fats, a perfect energy source.

Jack crumbled up the wrappers and bag before throwing them into a nearby trash bin. Sipping on the cola he started thinking about this strange new world. It was obvious they were highly civilized, probably just as much if not more so then his world. They were intelligent and had emotions, pretty obvious. Luckily everything was written in English as far as he had seen, might be a good idea to find the library and learn more about the cultures and history.

Before he could think of anything else he saw someone run past him and heard a woman screaming. "Stop him! He stole my purse!"

Jack took off after the guy, he was the only one running so it was easy to figure out, that and the pink strap dangling in the wind was another dead give-away.

The purse snatcher noticed Jack chasing him and was running through the crowds trying to lose him. Jack smiled, poor bastard didn't know that Jack was very good at hunting, and the big city was his hunting grounds. Jack easily maneuvered around the people walking through the streets and was catching up quickly. Suddenly sirens blared and a megaphone boomed "STOP, PUT YOUR HANDS UP."

The animal ducked into a nearby alley and Jack followed suit. Jack could easily bring out his armaments and catch the bastard off guard but it might arouse suspicion if he was caught. Instead he skillfully jumped against the walls until he was on the roof to gain the height advantage.

The animal took a sharp left and Jack leaped from the rooftop and landed right in front of him. The animal, a weasel, stopped in its tracks.

"H-how the hell did you do that?" it demanded nervously.

Jack slowly rose from his crouched landing. He lifted his paw and used his thumb to crack his fingers, a little habit he picked up from watching too much Tokyo ghoul. He couldn't help but be somewhat obsessed with it. The situations were far too similar!

Glaring at the weasel as he cracked his fingers he slowly stepped forward.

"I don't know about you but here's how I see things playing out." Jack said calmly

*Crack*

"You calmly give me the purse and lay down on the ground until the police catch up"

*Crack*

"You give me the purse and try running away, I catch you and beat you towards an inch of your life."

*Crack*

"Or you try running away or pulling a weapon on me and I still beat you towards an inch of your life, I would choose the first option if I were you"

*Crack*

The weasel just stared as Jack listed the possible outcomes, unnerved by the weird way Jack was cracking his fingers and the menacing glare.

Unfortunately the weasel must have been really stupid because it pulled out what looked like a tranquilizer gun and fired.

Jack dodged the dart and rushed the weasel, knocking the dart gun from its grasp and grabbing its paw. Jack pressed his thumb against its index finger and started bending it backwards.

"You really should have picked option one." Jack said as he kept applying pressure with his thumb against the weasels' index finger. It was about to scream but instead the weasel made a really funny face, slumped and hit the ground, hard. Jack frowned as he saw a dart sticking out of its ass.

Looking down the alleyway he saw what looked like a fox and a bunny wearing police uniforms and holding nicer looking dart guns. The fox made its way over and checked the weasel quickly, before turning his attention to Jack.

"Hey, kid, you alright?" The fox asked concerned.

Jack nodded dumbly. When the hell did they get here?

The bunny grabbed the radio on her uniform and said some police gibberish that Jack couldn't comprehend. After she was finished she walked towards them and handcuffed the weasel.

"Nick, would you do the honors?" she asked sweetly.

The fox smiled slyly. "Why I'd be more than happy to, Judy" He answered as he tossed the weasel over his shoulder and started walking down the alley. The bunny turned her attention to Jack. "Sir, would you mind coming with me and answering a few questions?" She asked politely.

Jack really didn't want to get involved with the police, he had bad experiences with them, but he knew that if he refused it could cause him more problems in the future.

"Yeah I can answer a few questions, officer." He answered simply.

She walked him towards the police cruiser, it was a mammoth of a vehicle! How the hell could this tiny bunny possibly drive this thing? Maybe her partner did the driving since he was taller than her.

She introduced herself and her partner as Officers Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, respectively.

She went through the routine questions. What happened? What did I see? Why did I chase the criminal blah blah blah. Jack answered honestly but when it came to "I am curious, how did you get in front of the suspect in that narrow alley?" Jack had to think quickly.

"Well I learned acrobatics when I was younger and I just jumped over him." Jack lied.

"Oh, really now?" Nick pitched in. Nick could smell a lie from a mile away and this kid stunk.

Jack nodded. "Yeah, it was pretty easy, I could demonstrate if you'd like." Jack couldn't back down, with any good convincing lie you couldn't back down.

Nick just smiled slyly at the kid, he'd admit, the kid was a good liar. It was almost respectable. Didn't matter in the end, they caught the guy and the kid had helped.

"Alright, I'll believe you." Nick said in mock surrender.

Jack mentally breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to drag this out any longer than he needed to. He noticed Judy pulling out a card and handed it to him. "If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me." She said with a smile. Jack nodded, took the card and left quickly, he just wanted to get back to the motel and sleep.

"Nice kid, seemed a bit weird though." Nick said to Judy.

She frowned. "Weird? Weird how?" She asked confused.

"Come on, carrots. It was pretty obvious that he was lying about how he caught the guy. Something about him seems off." Nick said in a matter of fact tone.

Judy stared at the young feline as he walked away. "I don't know he seemed honest enough. He was nice enough to chase a purse theft, how many animals do you see doing that?"

Nick raised his hands in surrender "Alright, he's a good kid then." They got into the police cruiser and Nick started the engine. "Now let's get back to the station, drop this guy off and head over to your place for a movie." He said smiling at her.

She smiled and rolled her eyes, her place and movie meant making fun of whatever they were watching for the first half an hour than making out for the rest of it.
