Chapter 1 prologue
Date: 8-21-2018
Time: 2200 hrs (10:00pm).
Location: somewhere in Russia.
The night was in complete silence. Summer weather was cool with a full moon. The forest is in peace and quiet. With a dash of mountain peaks to the side. On the dusty road from the forest, there was what looked like a small village. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sounds of gunshots and explosions echoing through the air.
In the far distance, there was an eruption of fire from the small village. From fire to smoke, there were screams of pain and agony echoing far and wide. Multiple gunfire and explosions that began once more.
At the outskirts of the small village, there were at least a dozen mammals laying motionless. The mammals were surrounded by their own blood. From their chest to heads, they were exposed by the wounds. Some of the mammals had their legs, arms and heads cut off and others died from blood loss.
Across the bodies of the dead, there were some mammals who were still reloading their guns, while they were surrounded by glowing embers. Then suddenly, one of the mammals was shot while loading their bullets causing The other mammals to enter panic mode. Soon, The four remaining mammals began to run for their lives. Running through the obstacles by stones, woods and... possibly traps that was buried.
First, there was a zebra that fell into a pit trap and impaled by sharp wooden spikes. When the zebra fell he screamed, "OH SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA!"
Once the zebra was dead, and elk shouted in Russian," WE HAVE OUR BOSS TO SAFETY BE-AHHH!" The elk was cut off by a knife being thrown in his upper chest almost hitting him in the throat.
Then the horse put his hoof on his boss' back while shooting his gun with his other hoof. " MAKE SURE YOU FIND THE BASTARD MARKUS!" The boss ordered him in Russian while covering his head.
Marcus looked around, "I'm doing what I can boss. When this is over, I'm going to find my girl and give her some extra love and fuck her till dawn."
The skunk looked up at him with disgust, "Too much information."
Marcus looked down to his boss and said with urgency in his voice, "We need to move to a different location before that thing strikes again boss!"
The horse checked his surroundings before signaling his boss to follow him. They dashed into the part of the village that has not been destroyed. As they ran through the undamaged area, A string of explosions from left to right when off.
Causing both mammals to fall down and cover their heads. Marcus looked up slightly seeing one of the vehicles, he quickly turned to his boss and yelled, "GET TO ONE THE VEHICLES BOSS! I'LL STALL FOR SOME TIME! GO!"
As the skunk ran towards his vehicle, it exploded right in front of his eyes causing him to stop in his tracks and shit himself.
Marcus was looking at the raging inferno that was once a car mere seconds ago. He muttered, "Shit." And he began to turn around to see what was coming to him. As he turned an axe flying through the sky, successfully cutting off his face. Once his body fell, The axe flew over the skunks head and embedded its self into the wrecked car.
As the skunk stared at his last, lifeless bodyguard, trembling in fear. His ears began to twitch at the sound of footsteps approaching. He slowly looked up to see what was walking towards him. Through the smoke laced with embers, he could see an outline of a small to medium size canine approaching.
As this mysterious canine slowly pacing closer and closer in a menacing way, revealing himself out of the apocalyptic-like scene that this canine was the cause of.
This unknown canine came to a halt ten feet from the skunk. He was draped from the tips of his ears to his feet and tail in a Black leather like armour with red lining in detail. On his upper back, there were handles of two katanas while, his lower back, right above his tail was two Winchester shotgun handles. On both of his thighs had holsters for Browning hi-power handguns. In the left holster was containing the side arm while the right holster was empty, the other weapon was currently in his right paw.
While the fear courses through the skunk's body, he finally got onto his feet. His knees were feeling weak, as his mouth was becoming dry.
Once the skunk looks into the matte red ovals of the mask(where the eyes would be), he spoke in a thick Russian accent in English nervously stuttering, "N-n-n-no...Novak."
Novak slightly tilts his head and spoke in Russian in his coldest tone, "I do speak Russian, Dimitri."
Soon, Dimitri gave Novak a death glare as he spoke in Russian, "Why are you here? Why did you destroy my compound? What have I done to you boy!? WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO WRONG!?"
Then Novak gave him a chuckle, "Isn't it obvious Dimitri." Amused by the series of questions, but in a heartbeat, his attitude went back to serious as he took one step towards Dimitri causing the skunk to step back. "First off, if you ever call me "boy" again, I'll make sure your death is as painful as possible." Novak said with irritation pointing his gun at Dimitri, " Second of all, your recent activities has gotten my attention. So, I'll name a few: you raped women, you killed and used children as drug mules. Most of all, you have one hell of a bounty on your head. So I'm here to collect." He said with intimidation.
Dimitri began to shake in fear, "Have mercy, Novak. I've begged you. I have a wife and kits to take of." He implores Novak to spare his life.
Novak scoffed, "Don't lie to me! I know you damn well that you don't have wife and kits! If you did happen to have wife and kits, you wouldn't be doing those things now would ya?!"
Dimitri pointed out, "You also killed women as well."
Novak rolled his eyes and his mask, "I've killed women who were mercenaries and assassins. What's your excuse? Used and killed innocent children for fun? You raped women against their will for your fucking pleasure!?" He replied with anger.
"Uhhhh..." The only sound Dimitri can make. Loss of thought.
Novak sigh, "Yeah that's what I thought." Said in a menacing tone.
Dimitri raises his paws up, "You know what I did because those sluts and pest weren't following my orders and for filling my needs." He exclaims.
When Novak turned his left paw into a fist, he tightened his grip on his gun. In a blink of an eye, four shots echoed through the air. He shot Dimitri one in both of his shoulders and one to both kneecaps.
Dimitri screams in pain as he was lying flat on the ground, "You son of a bitch! No wonder you have no mama to comfort you predator brat!"
When Dimitri mentioned his mother, Novak released a growl as he quickly closes the gap between himself and Dimitri. As he stands over his body, "Say, "mom", "mother", or "mama" One more time, you're going to be missing a very important part of the body!" He said in rage.
"How about mommy?" Dimitri mocked him.
Well, that did it. A bad move.
"You stupid piece of shit!" Novak said with venom and shot three bullets into the skunk's manhood.
Dimitri once again screamed in agony "OH MOTHER FATHER SUGER HONEY ICE TEA! YOU ARE A TOTAL BASTARD NOVAK!" He said in great pain while covering his bleeding groin.
"I've been called worse than a "bastard," Novak said in a cold tone. Then he proceeded to shoot Dimitri's tail in half. Followed by a bullet in both of his feet and kicks Dimitri's paws off of his groin. As he hits his groin in the process. Later he shot through both of his paws. After 12 shots on Dimitri, with his left foot, Novak stomped on the skunk's right forearm and his right knee.
Novak pins him down. Putting his bodyweight on Dimitri's gunshot wounds, "Do you know why I like using this kind of handgun?" He asked rhetorically. Dimitri looks up at Novak terrified, in excruciating pain, "No."
Novak chuckled, "It's because of the ammo capacity you see. This gun can hold anywhere from 13 bullets to 15 bullets. 9 mm of course mind you." He then pulled out the empty magazine leaving one bullet left in the chamber.
He began to twirl the empty mag, "You could've had a painless and quick death Dimitri, but you decided to piss me off. So now..." Novak said as he proceeded to violently and forcefully shove the empty magazine into the sternum of Dimitri. Successfully, penetrating through Dimitri's chest cavity cause in the skunk to gasp and cough up blood whining in pain.
"I hope you enjoy Hell Dimitri," Novak says almost demonically before putting The barrel of his gun right between the eyes of the skunk.
With Dimitri's final words, "Fuck you dip shit." Novak pulled the trigger and the final gunshot echoing throughout the night sky as the brains of the skunk splattered on the concrete.
For a few seconds, Novak stared at the now deceased skunk, a bloody mess before him. He slowly got off Dimitri's body, taking a couple steps back and proceed to pull out an encrypted phone to take a picture of the body so he can collect his reward. Once the photo was sent, he put the encrypted phone back in a pouch on his belt and sighed continuing to look at Dimitri for a few more seconds.
"Well, I see you still have a taste for dramatic and unnecessary flair to your work... Alex." A male voice speaking in English with an American accent.
Alex looked up towards the wrecked car and distant night filled forest. He sighs with annoyance, "I've told you at least 1000 times. When I'm in this suit, call me Novak, Oscar." He turned to see an antelope wearing black cargo pants, A red T-shirt underneath a black jacket with the word "Agent" imprinted on the left side of his chest.
Alex put away his empty gun in its holster then, with both of his paws, he taps Hidden buttons near the base of the jaw that is part of his protective headgear. A couple of click sounds could be heard, he removed his full headgear to reveal his muzzle. A red fox. He has red eyes like Rubys. He has black fur starting from his nose narrowed to points underneath both of his eyes that is almost like a "V" or an arrow if you look at it from a certain angle. Along with black fur underneath his bottom lip narrowed out to a single point right before hitting his neck. On his ears, he has black tips. His fur all misty and messy from sweat.
Oscar shrugged his shoulders, "Well, there's no one else to hear me say your name. And you just took off your helmet." He pointed out and clasp his hooves together, "So can I call you Alex now?" He inquired with a smirk.
That causes Alex to scrunch up his muzzle with annoyance, "Whatever... what the hell you doing here?"
"Why Alex, I'm wounded." Oscar said in a sarcastic tone placing his hooves on his chest, "Can't I see an old friend see how he's doing?" Oscar asks with a straight face.
Which Alex holds his helmet with his left paw while putting his right paw on his hip and replied, "You came halfway across the planet just to see what I've been up to. Have you ever heard of an email?" He took a couple steps towards Oscar " I seriously doubt that. Now, what are you really doing here?"
A few seconds of silence later, Oscar finally spoke, " To be honest, it's actually easier for me to just hunt you down rather than to wait for you to check your damn emails. Besides you've been making a lot of ruckuses since you brought down multiple cities literally in the span of a month. Were you trying to kill yourself or are you doing all this just for her since she's gone?"
Alex looked down at the ground. He is slightly sad with a little irritation, "You know I don't like anyone mentioning her, right?" He quietly asked.
Oscar slightly raised his hooves and replied in an innocent tone, " I never said her name."
Alex stares at Oscar with his ears slightly slick back, " You don't have to say her name. I know who you're talking about. And, that's bad enough as it is. On top of it, I'm not doing this anymore because of her. The reason why I am doing this, it's all I know how to do or at least until I find what I'm looking for."
Oscar crossed his arms, "And what's that?" He inquired with sympathy knowing Alex and his past.
"Purpose. Happiness. Or simply a better life. Take your pick." Alex answered looking away to the left to stare at a burning building.
Oscar put his hooves in his pockets, "How about family? Your mom? Your brother?" Oscar said causing Alex to look right back at him narrowing his eyes.
Oscar shook his head and sighs, "You should go to Zootopia. Go see your mother and your older brother. It's been 25 years and you could use a vacation from all of this." He stated, raising his arms to point out the Armageddon-like atmosphere caused by the fox standing in front of him.
Alex remains quiet for about a minute as he raised his left arm holding his protective headgear. He brought up his right paw to touch a touch screen that was hidden in the inner forearm part of his suit. On the left forearm of his suit, he tapped it twice and put both of his arms back at his side. Then he finally spoke, " One, I know there's more to you suggesting me to go to Zootopia. Then for me just reuniting with my mother and brother. Two, I seriously doubt my brother wants to see me. Most of all, I think it's better for my mom to remember me how I was when I was a kit not what I am now."
Oscar rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah. I'm known to have hidden agendas. But besides that, in all seriousness, I think you really should go to Zootopia. After all, it's about time don't you think?"
Alex sighs, "I." He paused for a moment, " I don't know. But, I hate to admit it: you do have a point. I do need a vacation. So, I guess I'll go to Zootopia to see my mom. Hell, maybe I'll just move there for a little bit. I've been meaning to change scenery. After all, living in fox village for all this time can get a little old. There's not much to do there anymore."
The antelope scoffed, "You still live in Fox village? It's a village. Why do you live there?"
This caused Alex to change his mood from sad to annoyed, " OK asshole just because it's called "fox village" doesn't mean it's an actual village. It's a BIG town/small city, it has a goddamn airport! You would know that if you actually went there, it's just convenient to not change the name. But, it's a pain the ass when mammals like you jump to conclusions. as a matter of fact, it's pretty fucking annoying." He stated, Angerly bearing his teeth.
Oscar was about to reply, but then a sound of a powerful engine revved up through the night sky. This caused him to turn to see a matte black 1969 Mustang driving up without anyone in the driver seat. It turned to park, The driver side door open automatically as it stopped.
Oscar surprisingly asked, "Wait... how the hell did you get this here?" He turns back to Alex with a complex look on his face.
"Now, now a magician never reveals his secrets." The fox said with a devilish smile. He was entertained by his old friend's reaction to his car. Being on the other side of the planet, driving by itself after all. Oscar's face palmed himself not appreciating the fact that Alex somehow, most likely illegally brought his custom-made armoured 69 mustang into a different country. Without even thrown up a single red flag in the security system.
"Obviously, I'm not going to get an answer from you, since you're actually going to Zootopia. A lot of things have changed since you made me keep tabs on your mom and brother. Mainly your mom. I should inform you that your brother Nick is now a cop." He mentions Nick to Alex.
Alex tossed his helmet into the passenger seat and turned her face Oscar once more, "Nick? My brother? A police officer?" He was bewildered at this new information about his brother.
Oscar nods, "Yeah he's been a cop for two years now. You would know that if you, oh I don't know kept In contact more." Oscar criticizes Alex's bad habit of not keeping in contact very much.
"Wait are we talking about the same fox here? Are we talking about the same Nick who is a con artist? A hustler? Hell... The same fox who sold a skunk butt rug to Mr. Big which was the dumbest thing anyone can do. We're talking about my brother Nick?" He questions, not really believing that his own brother is now a cop.
Oscar nodded and replied "Yes, yes that's the same Nick Wilde that we are talking..." then he realized, "Hold on a minute. How the hell do you know about that whole skunk butt rug situation with Mr. Big?" He was caught off guard about the fact that Alex actually knew about it.
Alex remains quiet for a second then revealing with a shrug of the shoulders, "My mom mentioned it in one of the last letters she wrote to me. Containing information about Nick before asked her not to mention Nick anymore."
Alex began to get into his car with Oscar asking, "What are you gonna do now?"
Alex paused for a moment. Then he stepped back out of his car and leaned against the open door replying, "Well, I've got to go to my safe house a few miles west from here. Then I'll be heading home to fox village, straighten out my affairs get things put away etc. etc. Finally, I'll be heading to Zootopia, Buy myself a nice little condo, and take your advice. I am having a vacation. Also, I'm going to see my mom and maybe even take up ceramics." He said with a smirk.
Oscar raised an eyebrow, "You're actually going to take ceramics?" Cracking a smile.
Alex's eyes went wide and said defensively, "Oh shut up. What I do on my free time shouldn't matter. Besides, I like using my paws when I do things. I just can't sit around and do nothing you know that."
"Okay, okay no need to get upset." Oscar putting his hooves up, "Anyways, when will I expect to see you in Zootopia?" He asks trying to change the topic.
"My ETA agent Hornton." Alex begins to speak with a little sass in his voice still annoyed at his friend, " Will be anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks from now. Still got to get things straightened out mind you." He said as he got into his car closing the door.
Oscar sighed at the use of his last name, "All right then, I had that coming, but I'll see you in Zootopia. When you get there don't cause any trouble." Knowing how Alex is, he would definitely cause some trouble out of sheer boredom.
Alex started up the car and roll down the window commenting on what his friend said, "You think too little of me. I'm a good boy and I have no idea what you're talking about." He said with sarcasm in his voice and giving an innocent smile as if he was an angel.
"...Bullshit." Oscar said in his mind.
The antelope just shook his head not even bothering to say anything.
"But Oscar I will keep in contact. I'll let you know when I'm on my way to Zootopia all right? Until then I'll see you later." Alex said with sincerity, "However, I want to say this: because I have a feeling that you might try to pull something. I'm only moving to Zootopia for personal reasons. So, please don't offer me any jobs or contact me for anything business related. not even a desk job, got it?" He advised.
"All right I'll keep that in mind." Asking replied with a smile on his face. Happy at the fact that his long-term friend is finally going to see his mom and brother and hopefully find peace in the process.
Alex drove off leaving Oscar standing in the wreckage, that was once a compound. As he drove up the winding dusty road entering the forest, he said to himself, " Nick, I hope you're ready to see a ghost from your past and I truly hope you haven't forgotten about your dear baby brother." With a straight face concentrating on the road. Any new journey is about to start. A new challenge for Alex to take on. Zootopia better be ready for another Wilde.
