Hey, guys. I'm back with a new crossover of Zootopia. This time, it's an AU crossover of The Lion King. I know I said I'd do this over the weekend, but my dad needed the computer, and whenever he wasn't, I was so absorbed in playing the Uncharted games. Speaking of which, this crossover will have an adventure theme to it that is loosely inspired on adventure story/franchises like the Uncharted series, the Jurassic Park series, and The Lost World. Plus, it will feature appearances of characters from The Jungle Book. So, let me know what you guys think in the reviews. Hope you enjoy it.
"Fear. Treachery. Bloodlust. Thousands of years ago, these elements ruled our world. Prey lived in fear, and predators had a biological instinct to maim, maul, and..."
Cody burst onto the stage, and pretended to attack his little sister, Sheila.
"Blood! Blood! Blood! And, death." Sheila fell onto the floor, playing dead, spraying ketchup onto herself for fake blood as effect.
The crowd watching the play had awkward looks, more so Bonnie, Stu, Carla, and Nick either face palmed or covered their faces in embarrassment. Judy on the other hand, was clapping her hands like mad, and whistling, which made Nick and her parents sink into their seats, hoping to avoid being seen with her.
"That's my boy! That's my girl!" cheered Judy.
"I so don't know her." said Nick.
Cody silently mouthed out, "Thanks, Mom."
"Back then, our world was divided in two. Savage predator or helpless prey." Sheila took up, and continued narrating. "But, we evolved, and now prey and predator get along peacefully. Today, predator and prey have multiple opportunities, that includes falling in love, marrying, having kids. Even, pursue careers like being police officers, or famous explorers."
"Yet, today, it is rumored that there are places, secret and hidden places, all around the globe that mammals that, while they have developed the capability of speech, behave and hold onto their primitive, and wild ways." Cody took over the narration.
"Where could such places be hidden in our world? Some say on uncharted islands across the high seas, or in secret sanctuaries atop high mountain ranges. But, one thing's for sure." Cody and Sheila removed their costumes to reveal explorer outfits.
"Should these legends do exist, and should they be discovered today, or during our children's time, or our children's children's time, it would be the greatest archeological discovery ever recorded in history!" Cody and Sheila bowed. "Thank you, and good night!"
After the applause, Cody and Sheila exited the barn with their parents and grandparents out into the yearly Carrot's Day Festival.
"So, mama. What did you, papa, grandma, and grandpa think of our performance?" Sheila asked, hopping around her mother.
"Best. Performance. Ever. I remember I did a play similar to yours back when I was your age." said Judy.
"Well, this girl loved it, too." a voice called from behind.
The family turned to see a fox with blonde fur, overalls, a white t-shirt, and a ponytail behind her head. She was also wearing sunglasses.
"Wait a minute... Vicky? Icky Vicky?" said Nick, wide-eyed.
The vixen removed her sunglasses to reveal her blue eyes. "Long time, no see. Good ol' Slick Nick." she said, as she hugged Nick.
The rabbits and the kids had puzzled looks.
"Uh, are we missing something here?" Judy raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, you must be Judy. I've heard a lot about you and Nick all over the news. 'First Rabbit and Fox officers crack biggest case in Zootopia ever'." said the vixen, as she extended her hand. "I'm Victoria Foxsworth. Call me Vicky. I'm Nick's childhood friend and ex-girlfriend."
"EX-GIRLFRIEND?!" everyone shouted.
Judy tapped her right foot, hands on her hips. "And you were gonna tell me this Nick, when?"
Nick sighed. "Look, she and I dated when we were teenagers, but it only lasted a year. It's too embarrassing to talk about even today."
"What was so embarrassing about it?" Judy raised her eyebrow, again.
"Nick here likes to think of himself as a heartbreaker back in the day, when in reality, I was the one who broke HIS heart." Vicky pointed out.
"It's a sad truth." Nick said, with a deadpan look.
Judy and her parents bit their lips, trying their best to hold back laughter.
"Look, before this turns into a laugh fest, the problem was me, not her." Nick explained. "I saw the world one way, she saw it the other way. What happened to me when I was nine had caught up to me when I was seventeen. That was when we were dating, and before it affected the both of us any further, Vicky thought we should just remain friends after that."
Judy and her parents stopped giggling, immediately. They knew how sensitive Nick was about his past, and they respected him not to bring it up unless he wanted to. Nick then turned back to Vicky.
"Well, I'm glad you're doing well again, Nick." said Vicky. Then she smirked, sheepishly. "So, what's it like being a cop? Also, what's it like starting a life with a bunny?"
"Vicky!" exclaimed Nick, blushing.
"Ha, ha. I'm just kidding. I meant nothing by it." said Vicky.
"So, what ARE you doing hanging around here again, Vick?" Nick asked.
"I was looking for you. Both you and Judy, precisely." said Vicky. She looked left, right, and behind her. "There's something I need your help with, but can we talk somewhere private?"
"You can always come with us back to our farm." said Bonnie.
"Thanks, ma'am. I'll follow you on my motor-bike." said Vicky. "Yours is the truck that says 'Hopps Carrot Farm', right?"
...
So, one drive back to the farm, and enjoying one blueberry pie around the kitchen table later, Vicky began explaining.
"Okay, so after Nick and I broke up, I got a job as a mechanic, and during my vacation time, I became an adventurer, traveling around the world. Whether it be mountain climbing, scuba diving, cave spelunking, you know it. So, a couple days ago, I rent a boat to go cruising out in the purrcific ocean. When all of a sudden, my radio picks up an S.O.S. signal. The transmission was breaking up, but I did manage to get his name, Hugo. The coordinates he sent seem to lead to this spot, right here."
Vicky took out a map, and pointed to a large, red X on the map.
"But, there's nothing there. Just water." said Judy.
"I thought so, too. But, there have been rumors throughout the centuries how ships have disappeared near this spot, which is said to be surrounded by a cloud of fog. Sounds like the place to find one of those secret places where there are still feral animals in the world. That's why when I came in town at the festival and saw that stage play, I hoped you might be there." said Vicky. "So, this is where you guys come in. I need help in getting some things together to help launch a rescue mission."
"Vicky, we just caught up again, and you're preparing to head out to some spot of nowhere, just to rescue a guy who might be crying wolf?" asked Nick.
"Nick, that doesn't make sense. Why would anybody prank call about something this serious?" said Vicky.
"I just don't want to see anything happen to you. We've been friends since we were kids." said Nick.
"Alright. If you're that worried, why don't you and Judy come with me? It'll be an adventure." said Vicky.
"What?! No thanks. I'm not going into the middle of the Purrcific ocean for nothing." said Nick.
"Alright, how about this? If I'm wrong, and there is no island, then you can set me up on a blind date. I won't complain if the guy is a complete loser." betted Vicky.
"Tempting. And if you're right?" said Nick.
"You have to tell Judy and your kids what you did at my sweet sixteenth birthday party." Vicky grinned, mischievously.
"No, we agreed never to speak of that, again." Nick said, wide-eyed with fright.
"Alright, if you don't help me, I'll just tell them myself." said Vicky.
"You wouldn't dare." said Nick.
"It's called a hustle, sweetheart." grinned Vicky.
"I think I'm beginning to like this girl." smirked Judy.
"Judy, not you, too." Nick said, irritably. "Fine. We'll go."
"Hey, can we come, too? Please?"
The adults turned to see a nine-year-old fox boy with purple eyes, red fur, blue overalls and a white t-shirt standing next to an eight-year-old rabbit girl with green eyes, grey fur, green bow, green overall skirt, and yellow t-shirt.
"Kids, I don't think that's probably-"
"Aw, I think it'll be okay if they came along, Nick." Judy reassured her husband. "So long as we make sure they do everything we say, and they stick to us like glue. I think it'll be fun."
"Fine. Not like anyone's listening to me, today." Nick pouted.
"Oh, don't be like that, buddy." said Vicky. "So, do you know where I can find adventure supplies or not?"
Nick grinned as a thought came into his mind. "Actually, I just so happen to know a guy who can get you that stuff for free." said Nick.
"Well, then. Cheers, guys." Vicky said, raising her soda bottle to clink with Nick and Judy's.
...
"Ah, Nicky. Judy. To what do I owe this pleasure?" said Mr. Big.
"Well, Mr. Big, sir. I have a friend who needs to ask a favor of you." grinned Nick. "This is Vicky, my old friend from elementary school."
When Mr. Big and Vicky saw each other, they both smiled.
"Ah, Vicky! Darling! So good to see you." said Mr. Big, as Vicky bent down so he may kiss her cheeks in affectionate friendship.
"Long time, no see, Mr. Big." grinned Vicky.
"What?!" exclaimed Nick. "You know Mr. Big, too?"
"Yep. When I heard his daughter, Fru Fru, was getting married, I got her and her husband two tickets to Hawaii I won in a contest for their honeymoon." said Vicky. "My mom always says I was born with lucky fox feet."
"Here I was thinking he was gonna crush your hopes of going by turning you down." said Nick.
"Now why would I do that to someone who's like family?" said Mr. Big. "Talk about a small world, with you being an old flame of Nicky here, my dear Vicky."
"Next thing you know, you'll tell me you've been in outer space." Nick said to Vicky.
"Actually..." Vicky grinned, sheepishly.
"OH, COME ON!" said Nick.
"Your kindness did a great service for my daughter's happiness. How can I repay you?" said Mr. Big.
"I'm just gonna cut right to the chase." said Vicky. "I'm mounting a rescue mission with Nick's family. I'm gonna need to borrow food, water, explorer's gear, some air-powered elephant tranquilizers, and a sea-plane. That's not too much, is it?"
"Sounds like you don't wish to take any chances in this escapade you're leading." said Mr. Big.
"I just like to be prepared for anything. I just can't leave this person to hang on some place in the middle of nowhere." said Vicky.
"Such bravery and willing to help." said Mr. Big. "I shall have whatever you need ready by tomorrow, with the best pilot I know."
"Woo-hoo!" said Vicky. "Who's up for adventure?!"
Nick just stood there, mouth agape.
...
The next day came, and Nick, Judy, Vicky, and the kids were walking towards their plane. The pilot, who was loading the last of the equipment onto the plane, turned out to be a familiar face. It was Finnick.
"Hey, Finny. How's it hanging?" said Vicky.
"Vicky! Hey, girl. Haven't seen ya in ages." Finnick said, as he high-fived Vicky. "So, ready to take to the sky?"
"You know it." said Vicky. "Mind if I help ya fly? I've taken some flying lessons, myself."
"By all means, be glad to show you how to work this piece of junk." said Finnick.
The group entered the plane, and prepared for takeoff. The plane's engines sparked, and took to the sky.
"So, since when did you become a pilot again, Finnick?" asked Nick.
"Sometime after you became a cop, and quit the pawpsicle business. Slipped my mind to tell ya for a while, now." Finnick called from the cockpit.
"I can't believe we're really doing this." Judy tapped her feet with joy from her seat.
"Yeah, Ma. This is gonna be fun!" said Cody.
"Let's not forget, sport, that it was your mom who sided with Vicky to convince me, or blackmail me, into this crusade." said Nick.
"Cheer up, Nick. You're gonna be happy we did this. Vicky's doing this for someone in distress, and she asked for help in this mission." said Judy.
"Just wake me up when we get there." said Nick, as he closed his eyes for a nap.
...
"Dad! Wake up, we're here!" Cody shook his father awake, two hours later.
"Look out the window, Nick. The fog's clearing." Vicky called from the cockpit.
The family of four looked out from the window behind where Nick was sitting, and saw the fog was clearing to reveal what looked like a small dot of land from where they were in the air.
"Well, I'll be darned." said Nick.
"Looks like this means you lose the-" A sudden shake from the plane interrupted Judy's sentence. "What's happening?!"
"It's a storm! Lightning hit the tail of the plane!" shouted Finnick. Another shake occurred. "You can add the left wing, too. Everyone, back in your seats!"
Nick, Judy, and the kids scrambled to their seats, and snapped their belts on. Cody clung to his dad's arm, as Sheila held onto her mother's.
"Look, there's the island! The beach! Go for the beach!" shouted Vicky.
"Going in too fast!" shouted Finnick.
Finnick tried to work the landing gear, but the damage to the plane prevented him from doing so. The plane crash-landed onto the beach, and everything went dark after that.
And, cliffhanger. Whew, there's the first chapter for ya. Vicky is based on a scrapped character that didn't make it to the final version of the film, so in my version, she's Nick old flame. Hugo will appear in later chapters. He's based on the original design of Benjamin Clawhauser. Also, in this version, I'm switching the age difference between the siblings. This is Cody's first appearance, but i'm making him the oldest, and Sheila the youngest. I own nothing, except my OC's, Cody and Sheila. All rights go to original owners. No copyright intended. Stay tuned for more of this fanfic. Hope you guys are enjoying it so far.
