It was a rainy evening as Nick Wilde was sitting in his squad car with his partner Judy Hopps, the grey rabbit was driving from the station when they were called. Judy picked up her radio speaking. The call was coming in officers Wolford and Fangmeyer, telling the two of them about a discovery they had made.

"Hopps, this is Fangmeyer, Me and Wolford were investigating sounds of a disturbance in the rainforest district and we found something we... think you two should see" The tiger replied as Judy spoke into the walkie talkie.

"What did you two find?" Judy asked curiously as to why they were calling her in as Nick looked at her shrugging... there was silence.

"We found a dead body" Fangmeyer finally replied as Nick looked at Judy awkwardly as she took a deep breath.

"And why do you need us, usually you would get forensics to come to the sight?" Judy asked a bit confused as to why Fangmeyer was addressing them as the radio went silent.

"Just come here, this is something you two have to see" Fangmeyer replied as Judy groaned agreeing to come. Judy felt a bit turned off by this, she had never actually seen a dead body and the concept turned her off but she took a deep breath.

"I Guess this is what we sign up for" Judy replied steering the car as the two made their way to the area where the body was found. The two left the car approaching a warehouse. the two wolves were waiting as Judy and Nick approached them.

"This is where the body was found?" Nick asked as the two nodded. Judy just looked at them, curious as to why they wanted Nick and her there. Wolford just puffed on a cigarette looking at them.

"Just take a look at the body, you'll understand," Wolford said as Judy sighed walking alongside Nick as the two entered the warehouse. it was old and showing signs of age, the windows were boarded up and it was nearly empty as Fangmeyer pointed to a blanket in the corner.

"This is what you wanted us to see," Nick asked as he approached the covered body as Judy was clearly nervous. Nick looked at her.

"Hey Carrots, it's just a dead body, officers see dead bodies all the time" Nick replied grabbing an edge of the blanket about to pull it off.

"It's just that I've never seen a real dead body before and I don't know what to expect" Judy replied clearly uneasy as Nick comforted her.

"Judy, look at me, let's just look at the body and put this behind us" Nick stated strangely calm about this as he removed the cover. the two shocked at they saw.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Nick demanded, seeing the dead body which looked just like him, wearing a blue Pawaiian shirt and a yellow tie and lying dead on the ground with a huge wound running thru his chest causing Nick to nearly vomit. Wolford and Fangmeyer looked at them.

"Now you see why we wanted you here?" Fangmeyer asked as Judy looked at them. unable to keep her eyes on the body of the fox who resembled her partner.

"Why does this dead fox look just like Nick" Judy demanded as the two shrugged.

"We don't know what heard a call about noises coming from the warehouse, came here and found him like this, but that's not even the weirdest part" Wolford explained holding a leather wallet tossing it to Nick who looked at it before opening it.

"My wallet?" Nick said confused reaching into his pocket pulling out a second wallet exactly like the first, even all the cards were the same as Nick was freaking out. according to the ID, this dead fox was also Nicholas Wilde.

"There is no way this is me, that is crazy, There must be a logical explanation" Nick defended trying to make sense of the fact he was looking at his own dead body.

"Well have to wait for forensics to run a DNA test but it seems to be a perfect replica of Nick" Fangmeyer claimed as Nick and Judy were freaking out. This was a sight she never wanted to see, even if it was not really him. the Idea of Nick laying before her lifeless just made her... she could not think as she fainted hitting the ground.

"Judy" Nick called out as the bunny opened her eyes, she was back at the station sitting in the chair.

"Nick, I had the weirdest dream, we were called to a warehouse, there was this body and- That wasn't a dream" Nick replied as Judy was silent before shaking anxious as Nick sat beside her.

"Judy, you fainted. they're examining the body right now, they should be able to tell us who it really is" Nick replied as Judy tried her hardest to collect herself.

"There must a logical explanation why a dead fox we found in a warehouse in the rain forest district looks just you and had your wallet and cards" Judy frantically said. it was obvious she was not handling this well. Nick had never seen Judy this shaken, but death does that to some people.

"That can't be me because I'm right here, maybe it was someone who just looked similar and happened to have the same name, and same wallet" Nick trailed trying to make sense as the forensics doctor left the room wiping his forehead as they two approached him.

"So, what's the verdict, who is our copy-fox?" Nick asked wanting an answer as the doctor shrugged.

"According to DNA tests that fox sitting on the operating table IS Nicholas Wilde?" The doctor replied as the two gasped from shock. They were in disbelief but the tests confirmed the body belonged to Nicholas as Nick panicked.

"This Can't be true," Nick said in a frantic state as the Doctor looked at him.

"Wilde, maybe you should go home and rest, sleep this off" the doctor suggested as Nick agreed, maybe a night of sleep would do him good. Part of him hoped this was just some kooky dream. Nick left the station decided to head home. after parting ways with Judy he headed for his apartment which ironically was also located in the rainforest district.

Nick placed the keys in his doors opening the lock as he dragged his feet in reaching for the light switch.

"Nicholas," a voice said as Nick looked at the figure in shadows. jumping back at the strangling in his place.

"Who are you?" Nick demanding, flicking the light. The figure was the shape of a fox wearing a black outfit, a hooded trench coat or robe he wasn't sure. the figure raised his head, lowering the hood revealing a black luchador mask with a skull graphic crudely painted on it with white paint.

"Name...Black... but to you... I am Grim Reaper," the mystery fox said opening his tattered coat revealing a black outfit, slashed and stitched up leather with a skeleton design painted in white matching the design on his mask pulling out a hand scythe twirling it.

"Wait you're going to kill me, are you the one who killed the other me?" Nick demanded as Black nodded.

"Wasn't supposed to be here... traveled with me... tried to fight... killed him" Black replied swinging the scythe as it cut across Nick's chest as he fell over clenching the wound.

"You said your name is Black, why are you doing this, at least answer me that before you kill me" Nick begged, low on his breath as Black sighed lowering his scythe along Nick's Neck.

"Not your purpose... to know... my purpose... Kill Nicholas Wilde" Black replied swinging his Scythe as Nick's head flew off his body landing on the floor beside his headless body on its knees.

"Another Nick down... so many more...to go thru" Black calmly said putting the Scythe back on his belt. Black chuckled picking up the severed head holding it in his paw.

"If it's consolation... your death... one of my... best kills" Black added, speaking to the severed head before vanishing in a puff of black smoke. Nick's body stood there for two days before the ZPD got curious and as to why he had not reported for work. Sadly Judy was the one to check on Nick.

"Okay Slick, you better have a reason for not showing up to... work" Judy's voice broke seeing the body.
