Expect an update to Wild Love real soon!
I just had to get this idea out of my head!
This is basically a compilation of the many lives of the many animals who live in the beautiful city of Zootopia.
First slice of life? A medieval AU oneshot.
Zootopia Life
Taking the Bunnies
On the lush plains of a valley, deep within the center of Middle Pangaea, three pairs of beast feet scurried and padded hurriedly o'er the grass. These three – a tiger, a rhino, and a fox – were soldiers of the Nirvanan Army. They fought to keep the peace between prey and predator.
A new threat had emerged. The Nation of the Vampire Bats had decided to go back to their primitive, savage roots. Instead of taking the civil diet of bugs and seafood, they had decided to drink the blood of those that they claim had oppressed them.
They started first with the attempted genocide of the pigs. Only several hundreds of pigs now remained. Then the bats tried their luck at taking the Antelope Kingdom, but the horned animals dealt much better defense against the bats.
Once it became clear that the bats – who outnumbered any single animal kingdom – had to be dealt with, the rest of the world declared war. Some predators, such as the stoats and the weasels, joined the bats in attempting to annex the entire land, bolstering the bats' ranks.
But under the leadership of Chieftain Bogo, the Buffalo Tribe rallied against the bats and lead a united front to restore justice to Pangaea.
Seeing that they had to lay low for a bit whilst searching for allies, or killing off foes that stood in the way, the bats decided to spend their resources and allies on the underground environment, beginning a mass slaughter of bunnies.
Those who weren't killed were taken prisoner to be exploited for labour. One such bunny tribe – the Spring Tribe – had lacked the resources and numbers to battle against the bats. And as this particular tribe of bunnies lead a pacifistic way of life, they had surrendered in an attempt to avoid bloodshed. That had only resorted in the men being killed to make an example for others. The stoats were then called in to abduct the females and the children.
And so Chieftain Bogo had dispatched tiger swordsman Delgato and rhino brute McHorn to help their best tracker, a young 18-year-old fox by the name of Nicholas, execute high stake reconnaissance to locate what was left of the missing bunny tribe.
Nicholas had managed to pick up the scent in a few days. A week later, they were arriving at the borders of No Animal's Land, where beasts who had strayed too far North from the safety of Animal Kingdoms never returned.
Delgato surveyed the landscape before him. It was deceptively tranquil.
"There is something strange at work here. Some evil gives speed to these creatures. Sets their wills against us," the tiger murmured. Nick had taken point up further on a rock perch, desperately sniffing out the terrain in front of him in hopes that he would catch the bunnies' scent. He had to. His young friend Judy, an adorable 10-year-old bunny girl, lived amongst the Spring Tribe. He had to find her. He had to rescue her.
"Nicholas!" he heard McHorn call from behind him, "What do your fox eyes see?"
"The stoats've set up camp in the North East!" the young fox replied, before continuing his report.
"They're taking the Bunnies to Isengard!"

(Badass Instrumental.)
(Nick leads the way through No Animal's Land. Delgato and McHorn follow him.)
McHorn:
Tell me where is Bogo,
For I much desire to speak with him.

…You all have no idea how much I cracked up while writing this.
And unfortunately, I just did this Lord of the (Animal) Rings AU just so I could do this song in a Zootopia version.
And I love that remix as well.
The Dread Crew of Oddwood's version of it is my favourite version in particular… until someone makes my version come to life.
But other than that, I have no further interest in Lord of the Rings, so this AU chapter is just a one-off. Good news for that is I am putting this AU up for adoption, should someone actually be bothered to write a full LOTR/Zootopia mashup.
Hope you were all entertained and laughing out loud!
Don't forget to review! It will be much appreciated!
Transformers 0 over the moon and out!
