Viewer Info: The following story is placed in the crossover section due to Conduits and Anthropomorphic animals. If you have have come here for entertainment, here it is.
"Hoops and Wilde. Search near the electricity plants for reported animals stealing energy from there."
"Yes, Sir."
"Sure thing, Bullhorn!"
"Wilde!"
"There's no one here." Nick groaned into the radio on his shoulder as he sat down on the ground and listened to the surrounding humming from the transformers and the static from the radio until Judy answered,
"Hey. Nick?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you call in back-"
"That's not happening soon." Nick snapped his head up to see a lion staring down at him in fury with lighting sparking from his paws. "Uh... Okay." The red fox sat still as the lion walked around him with the lighting sparking between his claws.
"You shouldn't have gotten between a Conduit and a energy source."
Nick would have laughed, but this was serious. This... Conduit, could fry him to a crisp if he pleased.
"I could get up an-"
"No. You're staying right there. And you're going to learn a lesson."
Nick bit back a shout of pain as the lion grabbed the fox's collar and lifted him up to where the lion had to lift his chin to look into Nick's fearful eyes.
"You know... We could use another electric Conduit. If you have the genes."
"Nick!"
The fox let out a cry of agony as several thousand volts of electricity coursed through his veins, levels of volts that could kill a full grown elephant, yet somehow, this fox was still alive after a full two minutes of being a living battery. When the lion finally dropped the red fox, Nick could only make a few groans as the lion super jumped off a nearby generator, leaving the fox lying on the ground with smoke emitting from the singed fur. Unknown to everyone in Zootopia... This fox now has the choice. Become a beacon of hope and have Zootopia become a much more powerful city, or become the feared ruler and have Zootopia looked down upon as the largest city filled to the brim with hate and fear in the world.
Day 1 of Nicholas P. Wilde being a Conduit.
"Is he going to be alright."
"Yes... and no at the same time." Judy tilted her head at the reply, "What do you mean?"
"We could only hook him up to a IV before all the electrical equipment seemed... well, to become overcharged. The TV screen's brightness became almost as bright as the sun before it exploded... Then all the electricity went into your friend... Like a conductor... As if he were a wall conduit." The badger nurse stated the facts of the strange occurence. The rabbit couldn't wrap her head around this at all. When she tried to pick up Nick to carry him back to the cruiser, all the electronics on her outfit were somehow overcharged and her badge started sparking like crazy, and now at the hospital, the electronics were doing the same.
"Can I see him?"
"I don't know. He could still be-"
"Doctor! He's awake and he just blew up all the lights just by pointing at them! What the heck is-"
"Nick!" Judy pushed past the tiger to see a unique sight. All the electricity in the room was going straight to Nick's outstretched hands, like the doctor had said, as if he were a wall conduit. The light show went on for a few more seconds until Nick simply collapsed from either exhaustion or shock of his new powers and the room's lights dimmed, then brightened as the power coursed back through them to power them back up again.
"Nick. I'm so sorry." Judy stood planted on the ground in the doorway as she couldn't decide to either walk away or walk forward. After a few moments of thinking, she decided on the latter. When she had finally approached the bed, she finally saw what the toll of waking up to lighting storms going straight to your hands did to the fox. Several bandages were wrapped around his fingers, even some had two on them where the electricity had burned his fur off and caused either first or second degree burns on the skin.
"Ms. Hopps... You should go and get some rest." Bogo placed a emotional hoof on the bunny's shoulder as she numbly turned Nick's almost completely fried phone over and over in her hands. She had already moved most of the pictures Nick took from his phone to a external SD card, and with the state of how the phone was, it was a miracle that she was even able to link the phone up to the computer without the four hundred dollar phone blowing up from the overcharge.
"This doesn't make sense whatsoever..."
"Wilde will be fine. Go home and get some rest."
Day 2 of Nicholas P. Wilde being a Conduit.
"Ow..." Nick gave a sigh as he awoke to the room finally being calm without lighting flying around the whole place.
"Nicholas Wilde?" A antelope poked her head into the room to see the fox lying awake after two days of the electricity accident.
"I'm still here. What time is it?"
"Eleven twenty two."
"A.M.?"
"Yes."
The fox kept silent for a few minutes as the nurse slipped into the room and opened up the windows.
"What the heck happened to me? I know I was electrocuted with high levels and I should be dead, but..."
"The doctors have found a unique gene in your DNA. It's pretty rare, and they're still trying to find out what it really is, so you might be here for a while."
The fox bit his lip as he tried to figure out what was going on in his body. It was like there was energy in him that he's never had before.
"Am I allowed to go outside?"
"Yes. Why?"
"WOOHOO!" Nick, now sporting sneakers, jeans, and a green T-Shirt was jumping from roof to roof in the city center of Zootopia. It did take him a little while to figure how to grab onto window sills and ledges on the sides of the buildings and tightrope walk on the telephone wires, but with his tail to balance himself and keeping his eyes open for opportunities, he was soon jumping from roof to roof and climbing when he had to.
"Judy! Nick's preforming parkour!"
"What?" The rabbit lifted her head off the desk and joined other officers at the front door to see Nick smiling and climbing up the apartment on the other side of the street.
"Nick!" Judy's partner got his feet onto the roof and looked down at the police station and smiled down at the bunny before he burst into a run and jumped off the ledge down into the street where as he was halfway down, he somehow activated electric thrusters from the palms of his hands and floated down to the crowd of police.
"I know. Shocking, isn't it?" Every cop simply stared at the fox in shock of what they just witnessed.
"Nick Wilde. What... What on Earth happened at that electric plant?"
"I honestly have no clue, sir." Nick stated as he stood in front of the bull's desk and with lightning sparking in his palms.
"That lion just electrocuted the crap out of me and now I'm able to control electricity. You know as much as I do, Chief." Bogo leaned back against the chair and looked at Wilde for a few moments until he spoke up.
"Conduit. That lion was a Conduit, at least, that's what they're calling themselves now."
"They?"
"Wilde. The droughts in the Rainforest District where it rains twenty four seven. Extreme heat in Tundra Town. Snow in Savanna Square. All of the weather in places where it doesn't belong. Those Conduits have been the cause behind it all." Bogo slammed a stack of files onto his desk, Nick only stared at the twenty or more cases on strange weather in the city.
"And now they made you one of them." Nick swallowed hard to the fact that there were criminals that made him a Conduit.
"Sir. They gave me lighting powers, but they didn't make me a criminal. And... I honestly have no idea which I will be."
"Then decide."
Yeah. That happened.
So, for any of you who are acctually interested. I've thrown a poll up on the decision on my profile, and I'll see you guys later!
