On one hot summer day, Splerai-Zootopian Emperor Splero and his entourages were being imperatively reminded about an unforeseen drought that ravages the countrysides of Zootopia. Will he and his heroic friends could save the poor souls to the end? We'll find out.

Sitting on his desk chair at his small castle-like palace somewhere in the suburbs of Downtown Zootopia, Emperor Splero was just typing a message on his Enigma machine that he just restored. While typing, regent Chimpan approached him.

"Sire."

"Yes, regent?"

"What are you doing?"

"I'm making a message to Regent Mikano at Splerai'ia. Why?"

"Nothing."

"Hmm."

Splero kept on typing. He managed to finish on typing before he ripped the paper tape away, rolled it into a scroll and tightly tied with a few strong strands of string.

"I'll send this Enigma machine message scroll later on, Chimpan."

"Ok, Sire."

"By the way, what brings you here?"

"I came here to see you because I wanted to remind you that Michelle was awaiting your presence at Mayor Lionheart's Zootopian Town Hall. Nick, Judy and Chief Bogo were all there as well."

"Really?!"

Chimpan nodded. Splero checked his wristwatch and the time reads at 10:47 AM.

"Oh, shats! I'm going to be late with the conference there, Chimpan. It will start in 13 minutes!"

"Wait! What about the message scroll?"

Splero gave the scroll to Chimpan.

"I think you should deliver that scroll to the postal office instead, Chimp. Can you please do that favor for me?"

Chimpan sighed.

"Alright, Sire. Calm down and I'll do at once."

"Thanks!"

Splero hurriedly fixed his imperial regalia before he took the documents kept on his briefcase, zoomed outside, boarded his car and departed as fast as he could. Chimpan went outside and he gazed on the scroll he was holding.

"Man. This is awkward but meh!"

As the wall clock at Mayor Lionheart's office reads at 10:56 AM, Nick, Judy, Michelle and Chief Bogo were all seated on their very seats while Mayor Lionheart kept on tapping his paws on his desk.

"I guess the Emperor was caught in busy rush hour traffic again, Judy."

"I'm certain that he would be facing that hindering problem again, Nick."

"Ugh. I hate rush hour traffic."

"I second that, Wilde but we can't do anything more to assess those situations for now."

"Chief Bogo's right, Officer Wilde. Much of the public was getting sick of those problems but if we're going to assess it right now, it will take more time before it could be resolved."

A series of knocks interrupted the crowd. Consort Michelle got perked up.

"I think he's here."

The door opened up and true to her words, Splero appeared.

"Hey there, everyone. Sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long in here."

"That's ok, Splero. At least you came here at long last."

"Yeah. Thanks, Mayor."

"Please be seated, Sire."

Splero sat down on his seat that was direct faced to Mayor Lionheart. Michelle then noticed that Chimpan wasn't around.

"Wait, Sire. Where's Chimpan?"

"He was sending an important package to the postal office, dear but don't worry. He will catch up."

"I see."

Mayor Lionheart cleared his throat.

"Well...Since we're here today, let's get on with the meeting."

"This should be good."

As Nick fixed his beret, Splero took out a scroll from his briefcase.

"Emperor Splero."

"Yes, Mayor?"

"Did you have the documents?"

"Yes, Sir. I have it right here."

Splero places the scroll on the table. He removed the straps and unrolled it at once before passing it to the lion. Despite that Splero wrote his documents in a Japanese Calligraphy-like penmanship, Mayor Lionheart and Chief Bogo could still understand the message that was written on it.

"That's the surveillance report of all of the infrastructure at Central and Downtown Zootopia that Chimpan and I done the other day. Most of the buildings were still standing high but we noticed that some of the buildings needed repairs because we could literally saw the cracks on the foundations of those commercial buildings that was being used frequently by the citizens there."

Mayor Lionheart nodded.

"I see."

"Furthermore, there were some increasing number of complaints that were linked to these issues."

"Now that draws my attention, Officer. How many complaints that you have reported? I'm going to assign someone to assess those."

"To be honest, there were more than 20 complainants and counting. They said that the owners were corrupt to even about these."

"Corrupt?"

"Would you please define that for us, Sire?"

"Sure, Chief."

Splero cleared his throat.

"The reason why the complainants told me and Chimpan that the owners of the damaged buildings were corrupt because they didn't keep a careful eye on their properties. Here's one example."

Everyone listened on.

"Instead of hiring some construction engineers to start the repairs, they spent event cent of their lives on unnecessary acts or privileges that totally infringes the safety of every Zootopian citizen that went in and out of those precarious buildings."

Mayor Lionheart grunted.

"Did you and Chimpan manage to talk to the owners?"

"We tried, Judy but they don't give a shit. They always make to the public promises that will never come."

The lion groaned in slight frustration.

"Those greedy idiots. They always do their dirty work without such care!"

The others were silent.

"So...What now, guys?"

"Chief Bogo, Mayor Lionheart and I had finally made a plan to keep the infrastructure of Zootopia up to date, Nick."

"How?"

"We'll do a construction-based project to keep every building in good work conditions. While we're doing that, the ZPD will be going to apprehend those who will not going to comply on the safety precautions of this very project."

"Quite interesting."

Chief Bogo looked sternly at Judy and Nick.

"You guys better hold on your own respective duties, though. We'll be handling these ourselves."

Nick and Judy were both surprised to his words but before they could reply, Chimpan suddenly entered the room with a panicked look on his face that totally caught the others' attention immediately.

"What the?"

"Chimpan, what's wrong?"

"Sire, I got bad news!"

"What news?"

"There was a large commotion at Bunnyburrow. I don't know what it is but there were some rumors that there was a big drought out there that just happened."

"What?!"

Judy perked up in shock.

"There's a drought, you say?!"

"It is, Judy. I'm afraid that many of them were in a state of turmoil."

"Wait, guys! What about the project?"

"Don't worry about that, Splero. You better handle that new issue right now. Me and Chief Bogo will handle this."

"I'll contact Clawhauser to send in a few police teams to quell the crowds there, Splero."

"Thanks, guys."

Nick and Judy stood up.

"I'll help."

"Me too, Sire. My family's in there."

"I know, Judy. Let's go!"

Emperor Splero then quickly departs along with Chimpan, Michelle, Nick and Judy. After they left, Chief Bogo looked at Mayor Lionheart.

"Well...It's you and me then."

Mayor Lionheart sighed as he rub his mane with his paws.
