A/N:

Cactus - "Hey there kids! Ready for a grrrrreat new adventure?"

Shadow - Um.

Cactus - Well too bad! Here's an OC-centered story about supernatural wonders!

Shadow - Supernatural wonders or do you mean plunders? *Snickers*

Cactus - Both.

Shadow - …. Hm. Fair enough.

Well, folks as you can probably see this ain't your ordinary A/N and it's just me and Cactus playing around so, well, reading this is your choice. This here is a collab between me, Shadow, and Cactus there.

Cactus - (Hello, I've written some fanfiction in the past.)

Shadow - ... And so, as Cactus has said this is an OC centered fic so any of you guys here just clicked without looking, thinking it's WildeHopps here's a fair warning. There's none of that here and it's just OCs. If ya'll were hoping for WildeHopps I suggest something else. Really. It's just OCs. *Makes shooing motion to those who thought this fic had WildeHopps* Go on now. *Some readers leave and she puts her hands on her hips and turns to readers still here*

Anywho, for you guys who stayed here, thanks very much! And, um…. Wait…. Cactus? Where are ya? *Looks around and scratches head* he's disappeared. Oh dear. Um…. Well. Hm…. Welp. Just so we don't take up much more of your time reading this I better just get the ball rolling now. Please. Guys, girls, ladies and gents. Grab a snack, a comfy seat and-

Cactus - WAIT! WAIT FOR ME!

Shadow - Oh there you are. Where did'ja go?

Cactus - I was busy doing… Cactus stuff.

Shadow - Um, well, whatever that is it's about time to start the chapter already.

Cactus - Yeah!

Shadow - Hm well, more info about this little collab of ours afterwards so stay tuned. On with the show!

In the beginning, there were only two words.

"This sucks," Caia muttered as she looked out the window, the rain was pouring down and the power had gone out an hour ago, this was one of the worst storms that had hit zootopia in a long time, strong enough to overpower the climate-wall. Milo's parents and their little red hatchback was nowhere to be seen.

"Yup," Milo replied as he tried to balance a pencil on his nose. After another five minutes of silence Milo gave up on his pencil trick. He decided that instead of moping around he'd find something to do.

"I'll just take a walk around, just shout if my parents show up." Milo informed Caia before walking out of the dark, empty classroom.

The corridor was dark, but enough light seeped in to stop him from walking into a wall. He made his way down the corridor under silence, peeking into the empty classrooms as he went about. He was about to turn and head back to Caia when a small, blinking light caught his eye. In one of the classrooms someone had left their laptop running.

Walking up to it and pressing space Milo was greeted by an article about bigfoot. It seemed whoever owned this computer was really into conspiracy theories. The article seemed to be one of many on a website of some sort.

"I'm sure they won't mind losing a few hours of battery-life," Milo thought as he picked up the laptop. He was about to leave when he got an idea, setting the computer down he quickly scribbled a note with some paper and a pen that was nearby.

"Dear Mr. Ghostbuster, find your laptop in classroom 3A."

Satisfied with his writing he once again paced back to Caia.

"Guess what I found," Milo said as he he waved the laptop in front of Caia's face, much to her surprise and slight annoyance.

"A laptop? Wait isn't that stealing?" she asked with slight concern in her voice.

"Nah, it's fine. Someone forgot it in another classroom down the hall." he reassured her as he set the laptop down on a nearby table.

"Besides, if they're stupid enough to forget it they deserve to lose some battery." Milo said with a shrug as he started browsing the website that he'd found.

Caia was worried about the laptop and the potential act of stealing that might have been committed but was won over by curiosity as she sat next to Milo who was browsing through files upon files of creature sightings, mysterious phenomenons and conspiracy theories.

"Are these real you think?" Caia turned to face Milo.

"I doubt it, but then again, some of them do look pretty convincing." He answered while staring forward at nothing in particular.

"Look at how many likes they've got! They must be famous or something!" Caia gasped as she pointed at the little thumbs up-counter.

"Internet famous but yeah." Milo replied, "I'd be cool to be internet-famous too."

The hours seemed to turn into minutes as the duo plowed through articles at an alarming pace, but they never seemed to find a shortage of stories. Before they knew it the laptop Milo had "borrowed" died.

"No!" Milo cried out as the screen turned black. "Now we'll never know what the weakness of the fungi!"

"You could probably just smash them." Caia snickered, "I mean, if they're made out of mushrooms it should be pretty easy."

"Hm, smashing mushrooms in the park reveals that theory to be correct." Milo replied while putting on a 'clinical' accent.

"Looks like we figured out the fungi's weakness ourselves." Caia smiled.

Outside the window they could hear a car honk it's horn, breaking the silence that permeated the room. Standing up they both quickly snatched their backpacks and headed for the main entrance. Outside in the downpour they could make out the two lynxes waving happily at them from inside the red hatchback.

"At least they arrived at all." Milo said with an optimistic tone as they hurried to the shelter of the car before their fur got too wet.

Before even having time to shut the door Milo's parents started barraging them with apologies.

"We're sorry it took so long!" Sam frantically apologized with his distinct scandi accent, clearly not from zootopia.

"The traffic was horrible! And the nerve some mammals got to just," Catherine worked her jaw up and down but seemed to be unable to describe just how rude and inconsiderate some people could be out in the traffic.

"It's okay, we found a way to pass the time." Milo said trying to calm them down, frankly he'd wish for them to just start driving already.

"Thank you for letting me stay over at your house today Mr and Mrs. Lotand." Caia voiced her appreciation to the two felines sitting up front.

"It's completely fine, in fact." Catherine smirked as she turned back to face the passengers. "I'm thinking we'll buy food today, i'm too tired to cook."

A smile grew on both Milo and Caia's face at the mention of takeout, it would give them the energy to pull through with the ridiculous amount of studies they had.

ooo

"Welcome to Taco-bull, may I take your order?" The bored voice of the cashier came through on the intercom speaker.

Glancing up and down on the menu the choices became harder and harder as the list of options grew. Eventually Sam made up his mind.

"Can I get a beetle-burrito with extra sauce?" He turned to consult the rest of the passengers on their choice of food and beverage.

"Same," Catherine said.

"Milo?"

"A, uh… Fish taco, no ant-sprinkles." He quickly added the last part.

"And you, Caia?"

"The spiciest one they got." She replied confidently.

"Alright, now we wait." Sam announced as he rolled up the window and drove along to the next drive-thru window.

ooo

"It's amazing how that place stays open when half of city-center completely blacks out." Milo noted as they stepped out of the car and started to head towards the Lotand residence. While Milo did have his own little apartment he found it comforting to return home once in awhile, especially during the weekends.

"Brrrr! How can you live like this?" Caia asked while pacing back and forth due to the cold.

"It may have something to do with fur." Milo snarkily replied while walking over to his room and retrieving an electric blanket.

"Thanks." Caia deadpanned.

"Is that the reason you got the spiciest food? To keep yourself warm?" Milo chuckled.

"Har har har." Caia replied before nabbing her bag of goodies and heading towards the kitchen/dining room.

ooo

"This is starting to become a habit." Milo snorted at the sight of Caia rolling out a sleeping bag on the floor.

"Blame school not me." She responded with an exaggerated sigh. Looking around Milo's room not much had changed since the last time she had been there, that is to say two days ago. He still had the same old unwashed dishes and clothes strewn around, and his desktop PC still had that weird screensaver from the 90's.

"Can I use your computer, Milo?" She asked as she stood up from neatly laying out her sleeping bag.

Milo, who was just about to leave the room for the restroom waved his paws about, "Knock yourself out."

"Hey Milo, what'd be a good name for a paranormal website?" Caia quickly asked before her feline friend was out of hearing range.

"That is unknown."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know, it sounds more doctor-y, like something a smart person would say."

"Well, it just made you sound dumb." Caia smirked.

Milo didn't answer, either he'd passed out in the hallway or he'd just ignored her.

But that stuck with her, that one word.

"Hm, Unknown, The Unknown?"

Two weeks later a new website would be up and running, and the internet would never be the same again. It would forever behold the masterpiece of a paranormal website known as,

The Unknown.

A/N:

Shadow - Alright! That's it for the prologue done by Cactus. I have nothing to do with it cause, well, I have no idea we were going to start with a prologue so, cheers for Cactus! And so, as I promised we will give a little bit more info on this collab of ours, ya ready Cactus?

Cactus - Thanks for thinking it was alright! And yeah! I'm ready to divulge some info on the project we're working on! Not all of it though!

So as we've already told you multiple times, this is an OC-centered collab story focused on exploration, paranormal stuff and action! Unfortunately there is no WildeHopps in this story, look, I like me a good Judy x Nick story as much as the next guy but this one ain't got none.

We're planning on uploading weekly, although expect delays, this is new to us and we have not really streamlined the logistics yet.

Shadow - Basically, we don't want to ruin WildeHopps (or… one of us isn't confident on writing it right yet) and we just wanna write a little something of our own….. Or something. My brain seems shut off today, Cactus wanna take over?

Cactus - Sure! So, *brings out checklist* what the story's about… Check, How often we'll probably upload… Check, about the characters… Hm.

So, in this fic there's out two main characters, Caia and Milo, one's an ocelot and the other's a lynx, you'll have to figure out who is who yourself though (shouldn't be that hard (because i'll tell you now)).

Shadow - Fumu, there wasn't a point to make them guess then?

Cactus - Aaaagh! I can't delete it! *Ahem*

Anywho, up first there's Milo, a Scandinavian lynx who wants to become a web designer among other things. … Mind if I hand it back to you Shadow?

Shadow - Sure. So as Cactus has said Milo is a Scandinavian lynx and wants to become a web designer. Adding on to that Milo is a childhood friend of Caia's and they had met coincidentally while buying ice cream and both talking and chasing after a bird when their parents weren't looking. They got lost but eventually a cop had found them and took them to the station and was kind enough to help them find their parents. Well, that was a weird way of becoming friends but then again, they were kids. Kids are weird sometimes. XD

Up next is Caia, an ocelot whose dream is to be a journalist and she is just like (sort of... Somewhat) an older sister who keeps Milo in check (although she's younger) but is also a good and mostly 'mature' friend.

So! That summarizes most of what they are and the last point is that Caia and Milo are our zoosonas. XD We thought it'd be fun that way and I think you can guess which zoosona is whose. (Mine is Caia and Cactus's is Milo of course! XD) We are sorta making this our zoosonas debut so… *Checks checklist* What else….. Hm….

Cactus - I think that's it! So, I better get back to writing.

Shadow - Same. I have a ton to do so we'll be off now! Ciao~ ;)
