Author's Notes/Disclaimer:Welcome new readers, as well as old. This is the one year anniversary of this story.Remember throughout this story, it was my first attempt at creative writing, so the wording may get a bit repetitive at times. I wasn't able to just re write the whole thing, so I just fixed the worst parts. A few chapters have been completely re-written, though.This is a big moment to me, and it means a lot if you would review, favorite, and follow.Prologue is the Zootopia Parody Extended Ending from YouTube.I don't own Zootopia or related characters, unless they are an OC.
Prologue:
"You know you love me," Nick said.
"Do I know that?" asked Judy. "Yes. Yes I do."
Just then, the speeder sped by. Nick put his sunglasses on, turned the radio on, and Judy chased him down the street. The speeder stopped, and Judy and Nick walked up.
"Sir, you were going 115 miles an hour. I hope you have a good explanation," Judy said. The heavily tinted car window rolled down, and the driver is revealed to be the sloth Flash.
Nick gives his usual greeting, but in a confused tone, "Flash? Flash? Hundred yard dash?"
Flash just smiles and says slowly, "Nick!"
Judy is just staring in disbelief that this sloth could be the speeder running all over Savanah Central.
"How you been doing man?" Nick asked.
"Flash! Do you have any idea how fast you were going?" Judy asked.
"No…"
"You—," Nick started to say.
"…I…don't…"
"You need—"
"…know…how fast." Flash finally said.
"Flash you were going 80 miles over the speed limit. I need to see some ID," Judy demanded.
"No," Flash said and he sped off.
Nick and Judy ran back to the cruiser and chased him down the street. Judy got the speakerphone mic and started yelling into it.
"Flash! Pull over your vehicle this instant! You're breaking several traffic laws!"
Nick took the megaphone and added, "Listen buddy, I'd listen to her if I were you. You don't want to see her when she's hopping mad!"
Nick set the mic down and looked at Judy.
"Nick, take the wheel," Judy said as she pulled out her gun and leaned out the window and started shooting at Flash's tires.
Flash spun out of control and crashed into a street light. Flash started flying out of the windshield in slow motion and he was yelling in slow motion too. Nick and Judy looked at each other and pulled the cruiser to where Flash would land and opened the door.
While he was flying into the car, Judy pulled out her radio. "Dispatch, this is Officer Hopps. We've caught the culprit, but we have reason to believe there is more to this than just drag racing. Send some sniffer dogs to search the car."
Nick dropped the bag of drugs onto the interrogation table in front of Flash. "Care to explain, buddy?" Nick asked.
"No," Flash said.
"Listen Flash, we just need a bit of info from you," Judy said.
"We need to know your dealer," Nick said.
Flash just sat staring at them. Judy pulled Nick to the side. "He's not talking. What do you propose?" asked Judy.
"How about a little 'good cop, bad cop.' I know Flash personally, so I'll take good cop," replied Nick.
"Sounds good," said Judy, holding two thumbs up.
Nick and Judy turned around and looked at Flash. Judy put her hands under the table, pulled out a machine gun and yelled, "WHO IS YOUR DEALER!?!" Nick pulled her aside.
"I'll take it from here Carrots. Just spill the beans, Flash!" Who's your dealer?"
"I…can't….say…,"
"I'm sure you ca—"
"…who…,"
"I'm sure—,"
"…he…is."
Nick got so mad and grabbed the bag of crack and attempted to throw it at Flash, but he missed him and it hit the fan. It burst open and the drugs blew into Nick's face.
"Are you ok?" asked Judy.
Nick pulled out his sunglasses and said as he put them on, "Looks like I've 'cracked' the case!" Judy just stared at him. "Take me to a hospital!" said Nick impatiently.
Chapter 1 – The Mission:
Nick Wilde has a rough life. It always has been, and will continue to be. His childhood was rough, his school years were rough, and his post-high school life was rough. He made a living hustling mammals with his only real friend, Finnick. But recently, he met Officer Judy Hopps. She saw more in him, and hustled him into helping her. He developed a bond to her that he couldn't understand. She was a bunny, but he was a fox. Prey have always looked down on him, but not her, which made her intriguing. She got him to join the police force, and the academy was one of the hardest four months he went through. He even solved his first case his first day. Nick started to feel his life was getting better, and it was all because of this one bunny that saw more.
The ZPD. The place where mammals of all sizes go when a crime has been committed against them. As the camera moves around the outside of the building, you can see a small reddish-orange mammal run up the stairs into the building. He quickly runs through the halls of the building, eventually ending up in a room full of cubicles. He lands on a seat in one and took a deep breath.
"You're late," a female voice said from the other side of the cubical wall. "Again."
"I'm here, aren't I?" the mammal replied.
"Bogo will have your head for this, Nick."
"Bogo doesn't have to know about this, Judy."
"Know about what?" asked Chief Bogo.
"Oh! Uh, nothing! Nothing. I wasn't hiding anything," Nick said.
"You better not be late tomorrow. I've got a special assignment for both of you," he said.
"What kind of special assignment, Sir?" asked Judy.
"You're going to go undercover to put a gang out of operation," replied Bogo.
"Are you nuts? I can't do that!" yelled Nick.
"Shush! Keep your voice down! This is top secret!" Bogo said in a hushed tone. "This gang is trying to completely remove all the cops in their area, and this is going to be quite difficult. There are some men in the locker room to help you two get prepared. And here are the keys to the car you're going to use."
"Alright chief. We'll get on it," Judy said.
Nick took the keys and started off in the direction of the locker rooms, with Judy right beside him.
"What kind of stuff do you think we're gonna do undercover?" Judy asked.
"I have no clue, but putting a gang out of business sounds pretty difficult," replied Nick.
When they got to locker room 4A, they went in and the smell of sweat and dirty clothes overwhelmed their noses. Two rhinos where talking by the far corner, and a lion was sitting on a bench, looking at his phone.
"Now who do we need to talk too?" Nick whispered to Judy. Just then, a tiger followed by a jaguar came in and gestured for Nick and Judy to follow them. "That was easy," Nick said to himself. They followed the two cats out the back door of the locker room and down the stairs. The bottom of the stairs led to the parking garage in the basement. Near the door was an unmarked ZPD van. The jaguar pulled out a key fob and unlocked the van, and then opened the back doors.
"Get in," he said.
Nick, Judy, and the tiger got in, followed by the jaguar. The jaguar shut the doors and turned on a light. There was spy-looking gear lining the walls of the van.
"I'm Officer Jag, and this is Officer Frost," said the jaguar.
"We've heard of you two. You're the best undercover crew the ZPD has!" Nick said.
"Hello. I'm Officer Hopps, and this is Officer Wilde," Judy said, a bit annoyed at Nick.
"We know," Frost said. "We're here to give you some tools and basic undercover instruction."
"So, what kind of stuff will we be doing? What kind of gang is this?" asked Nick.
"It's the Savanah Central Pred Gang," Frost said.
Nick and Judy looked at each other, then at the officers.
"We've heard of them. They're fierce and vicious. And made up of the toughest animals in Zootopia," Judy said.
"Is it too late to back down now?" asked Nick.
"Nick! Stop being a coward!" Judy said. "They need us for this, and you want to back out!"
"Sorry," replied Nick. "I…I…."
"I understand why he wants to back out, Officer Hopps," Jag said. "When the chief told Frost and me that we'll be helping you take them out, we protested to not even go near that gang's area. They have killed more than a few officers."
"Wait, you two? The undercover crew? The bravest undercover crew, are afraid of them? I'm sorry Nick. I guess I was underestimating the gang," Judy said.
"It's ok. Maybe I could be a little braver," replied Nick.
Throughout the rest of the day, Jag and Frost taught Nick and Judy how to use many different undercover gadgets and trained them for undercover work. Nick was to try to join the gang, and Judy was to monitor him while undercover. "That will be all for today," said Frost. "There will be more things to learn tomorrow and the next day. You'll be ready to begin on Monday."
Yesterday was the last day of training from Jag and Frost, and Nick and Judy had to do work today before going undercover for at least a month. Judy was driving the cruiser today while Nick sat in the passenger seat.
"Look, about Thursday, and how you thought I was being a coward, I...I was being a coward a little bit, but I fear that gang for a reason," Nick said.
"Yes. Jag told us, remember?"
"Yes, I remember, but that's not what I fear them for."
"Then what is it?"
"My best friend was…killed by them...right before…my eyes." Nick put his head in his paw and started sobbing. "I…couldn't do...anything. They just…killed him for no…reason."
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know," Judy said, her eyes starting to water with Nick's.
"It…It's ok. You couldn't have known," Nick said. "I just hate gangs, especially this one. They kill anyone who goes anywhere near their hideout, an old warehouse in an older area of Savanah Central."
They sat in silence except for the occasional sniffle from Nick, still recovering from his sobbing fit.
When Nick was finally recovered he spotted a wolf smashing a window and running off with a bag in his arms.
"Let's go!" Judy said. They got out and started running after him.
"Freeze! ZPD!" yelled Nick as he pulled his taser.
The wolf reached into his bag and pulled out a Luger and shot at Nick and Judy without looking. Most of the shots went clear over their heads, and some hit the buildings beside them. Nick put his taser back in his belt and pulled his gun out and ran harder.
"I said FREEZE!" yelled Nick.
The wolf turned his head around to look at Nick and shot. Nick instantly fell down and the searing pain hit him. He yelled in pain and looked down at his foot. It was covered in blood. "Argh!" Nick yelled. He heard someone yell "Nick!" and could hear them run towards him. Nick blacked out just as he heard Judy scream as she saw him.
Judy was running through an alleyway to try to cut the wolf off and catch him, but then she heard a gunshot and Nick's scream. She turned around and ran toward where she thought she heard him. "Nick!" she yelled. When she got to him and saw the blood on his foot she let out a little scream as she saw him black out. She pulled out her radio and yelled, "Dispatch, Officer Wilde is down! Repeat, Officer Wilde is down! Send an ambulance stat!"
"Right away Judy!" Clawhauser said.
Luckily, the hospital was only about eight blocks away. Judy could hear the ambulance coming closer. She started sobbing as she held his paw.
"Hold on Nick! It's not that bad," Judy said while sobbing. When the ambulance got there, a coyote and a sheep got out and started working on Nick. Then a police cruiser pulled up and Chief Bogo got out of the driver's seat.
"Come with me, Hopps," Bogo said.
"But I want to ride with Nick!"
Bogo looked thoughtful for a moment, but he nodded for her to go. Judy hopped in just as they were closing the doors.
"Is he going to be ok?" asked Judy.
The coyote looked at Judy. "He'll be fine. He's just blacked out from a loss of blood. The wound is not severe," said the coyote.
"Oh, thank you so much!" Judy said, shaking his hand. She kissed Nick lightly on the cheek, and as soon as she lifted her head, she could've sworn he looked like he started to smile a bit. Judy smiled through her tears. "It'll be ok Nick, I promise," Judy said quietly.
Later...
Oh, my head, thought Nick. He tried to move his arms to stretch, but they ached too. He tried to move his feet but his right leg was suspended on a leg hold and it hurt badly. Oh man, what happened? thought Nick. Just then a nurse came in.
"Ah. Good. You're up. There is a Miss Hopps here to see you," she said.
Judy! thought Nick.
The nurse left and Judy came in.
"Oh, Nick!" Judy said and ran to Nick. She wrapped her arms around his neck and started crying quietly. "I'm so happy you're ok! When I heard the shot, I thought you were gone!" She then started to cry a little louder.
"It's ok now, Judy. I'm fine now. Oh, you bunnies, so emotional," Nick said, holding her head.
"The doctors said you can go home in a few days," Judy said.
"Oh, man. A few days? I don't know if I could do that," Nick said. He smiled his signature smirk and Judy started giggling and that made Nick laugh too. Soon they both where both laughing hysterically.
The nurse came in and interrupted them. "Ok, Miss Hopps, It's time for Mister Wilde to get some rest."
Judy got down and started walking out.
"You come visit, you hear?" Nick said.
"Oh, I'll come every day!" Judy said as the nurse was closing the door.
"Goodnight, Mister Wilde," said the nurse as she turned the lights out.
