Chapter 1: It's A New Day! Yes It Is!
A/N The Wilhelm Scream ain't got nothing on the Goofy scream. After all the violence and drama from "Sacrifices", this is like a breath of fresh air.
PREVIOUSLY ON THE BIG CHEESE SAGA
After a bowling game which saw Clawhauser and Fangmeyer get together and Nick and Judy unite as a couple, they got into a big fight and broke up in Bunnyburrow just 24 hours later. During their time in Bunnyburrow, they discovered a deep, dark secret the family had been keeping from them. Red tail hawks had taken over the town and were feeding on the elderly and handicapped kits, forcing parents to sacrifice their young. During that time, Nick and Judy rescued/adopted four children. Nick took Christine AKA "Cotton", a crippled lamb who's the niece of Dawn Bellwether, Peter AKA "Petey", a bunny with tourettes syndrome and a bad lisp who came from an abusive family and Vivian AKA "Spots", a teenage hyena girl who occasionally has violent fits. Judy adopted her blind little brother Michael.
Michael, Cotton and Petey are currently being babysat by Nick's mother several miles away from the city to keep them safe while Nick and Judy prepare a place for them. Predator on prey crimes are still on the rise and the ZPD is preparing for "the purge", a day predator criminals say is coming soon. Nick and Judy stopped being partners. The ZPD still have no clue who the ring leader of this purge, "The Big Cheese" is or his whereabouts. Now Nick has two days off before going undercover and Judy has a new partner, Benjamin Clawhauser.
Tuesday October 27th, 12:15pm
Judy was walking with her new partner, Ben to the parking lot. Her last few days have been harrowing. Full of heartbreak, horror and loss, but also a new sense of purpose in life. She found out she was adopted and met her blood relations. She also gained a new son in her baby brother Michael that she saved from some evil hawks. Sadly, she also broke up with Nick after only being together for 24 hours and having shot a detained hawk in the head, killing it instantly has messed with her mind. Not to mention her son telling her to her face that he hated her and wanted to go back to Bunnyburrow. A new partner and a new ride was the exact thing she needed to take her mind off of her problems.
"Wolf and Stein said the new ride's already to go and out in the parking lot. I can't wait! The last few days have been insane and I need something to distract me. It's great to have you aboard Ben!...Ben?"
Ben was leaning against the wall, sobbing. "I can't believe it's over! It's all over! BAAW-HAAHAAWW!"
Judy tried to comfort Ben. "Hey! I'm the one who broke up with him! Not you!"
"SNIFF! You two were the ultimate couple everyone rooted for in the ZPD! You were so cute together!"
"Hey! What did I tell you about the 'C' word?!"
"If you two can't make it happen, what chance do me and Fangmeyer have?! I should just break up with her now." He went and got out his cell phone.
Judy grabbed it from him. "What?! No! Just because me and Nick made mistakes doesn't mean you and Fangs will! She loves you! Just...calm down, okay?!"
"SNIFF! O-Okay! Let's hit the road...partner!" Ben managed to get a smile up.
"That's the spirit!" Judy said, giving him a slight punch on the arm.
They arrived at the parking lot where Wolf and Stein were waiting. Her jaw almost hit the floor. There, in front of Chief Bogo was Judy Hopps new ride.
"Wowzers!" Was all she could say.
Bogo had a smile on his face for a change. He was proud of his new baby.
"Miss Hopps, let me introduce you to your new ride, 'The Bad Buster'! A 250 horsepower Motorcycle with a side car that can be disconnected and driven separately, The tires are designed to handle any terrain! From the wet streets of the Rainforest district, to the icy streets of Tundratown!"
Judy was curious. "Why are there dummies standing out front here?"
"To show you the firepower on this bad boy!" Bogo said proudly.
"Firepower?!" Judy and Ben said together.
Bogo squeezed a trigger on the bike. Several darts came out and he managed to steer the front wheel enough to hit all the targets.
"On the front, below the headlight is a tiny turret that can fire up to 20 darts in rapid succession! Plus rapid rubber bullets underneath that!"
"Holey Moley!" Shouted Judy.
"Not only that, but hidden on the sides of the cycle are two stun grenade launchers full of knock out gas!"
"Amazing!"
Ben looked concerned. "Uuuh chief? Are you sure you wanna give that much firepower to ummm..." He gestures his head towards Judy.
"Hey!" She said in protest.
"No need to worry Clawhauser. I trust Judy's judgment. Also, these are all non-lethal weapons! So why don't you two go ahead and give it a ride!"
Judy jumped on bike. "Wow! So the motorcycle itself is a two-seater? We could have up to three people in this bad boy! I love the bunny ears for the back rest of the cycle!"
"It was made with you in mind. The side car also acts as a temporary detention until you get the suspects here." Bogo said. "It was also in production before you and Wilde wrecked two vehicles!"
Judy shrugged her shoulders in embarrassment. "Heh-Heh! Yeah! Sorry about that! Let's rev her up!"
Judy revved up the engine. She felt the strong vibration of the 250HP engine between her legs. It sent a pleasurable chill up her spine.
"Wooohohohohooa!"
She revved it again. Her face was drooling with delight. Her tongue hung out.
"Ooooooh yeah!"
Bogo looked concerned. "Officer Hopps. Are you okay?"
"Can I...Can I have five minutes alone with the motorcycle? Oh heck! Who am I kidding! I'm a rabbit. I just need two!"
"My turn to try the side car!" Said Ben. He ran over and jumped into the seat at full force.
"No Ben! Wait!"
It caused a teeter-totter effect. Clawhauser jumped into the side car which caused the motorcycle to tilt up so hard it shot Judy 100 feet into the air.
"YAAAAAAH-HOY-HOY-HOYEE!"
Ben realized his mistake. "Uh-Ooooh!" There was a moment of silence.
"I'm okay!" Judy yelled. "I landed on the roof! I'll be down in a sec!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"I think I may need help."
Meanwhile...
Nick had arrived back at Judy's apartment. His new Hyena daughter, Spots was helping him pack. As they were heading out and onto the streets. They were stopped by his Wolverine landlord, Miss Logan.
"HEY WILDE! YOU LEAVIN' US?!"
"Yeah. Judy kicked me out and really, I need more room anyway. I ended up adopting three kids over the weekend and need at least a three room apartment."
"WELL THAT'S A DAMN SHAME! I WAS JUST STARTIN' TA LIKE YOU! HOLD ON!" She left for a moment.
Spots was kinda disgusted by her. "Hey Dad! Doesn't that ugly thing have any other volume but loud?!"
"Not really, freckle-neck." Nick replied. Then they heard a commotion.
"HEY MR. TUCKENROLL! YOU'RE 3 MONTHS DUE ON THE RENT! YA GOT IT?!"
"You know times are tough for me and the family right now Logan! I'll have the money first thi-AAAAHHH!"
Nick watched as the armadillo was thrown out the second floor window. He bounced off the awning and landed while rolled in a ball. He was startled, but other wise okay. His wife and three kids followed suit. Nick helped catch them as they landed.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Screamed the tenant.
"NO PAY?! AMSCRAY! I'LL TOSS YOUR LUGGAGE DOWN!" She tossed clothes, luggage bags and more down. It rained small clothes and other items all over the street.
"Lookout kids!" The armadillo dodged the things being tossed out and put his kids under a table to protect them.
"NOW COLLECT YER CRAP AND GET OUTTA HERE! HEY WILDE! I GOT A THREE ROOM APARTMENT AVAILABLE AND IT'S FULLY FURNISHED! YA WANT IT?!"
"Some of that stuff's mine!" shouted Mr. Tuckenroll.
"NOT ANY MORE! YOU SHOULDA READ YOUR CONTRACT CLOSER!" HURRY UP WILDE! I AIN'T GOT ALL DAY!"
"I'll take it! I'll take it!" Nick yelled. He talked to the Tuckenrolls. "Hey guys? Stay here. I'll bring some of your stuff down." He and Spots ran back into the complex. He went inside and checked out the apartment. It was great. Three bedrooms, a living room, bathroom and kitchen.
"This is just what we need!" Nick said to Spots.
Spots was chuckling. "Look over there!" Nick realized it too. He had a big grin on his face. Turns, out their apartment was directly across from his old one. Judy was now his closest neighbor.
"This is gonna be rich!" Nick's joyful moment was interrupted by Miss Logan. "YA GOT THE DEPOSIT FOR THIS?! IT'S THREE THOUSAND!"
"Uh-Oh." Thought Nick. "N-Not right now, but I'm going down to the bank and we'll have the money before the end of the day."
"YOU BETTER! OR ELSE I'LL THROW YA OFF A HIGHER WINDOW!AND YOU WON'T HAVE THE ARMOUR TO PROTECT YOU FROM IT!"
"GULP! Don't w-worry Miss Logan! I have the money at the end of the day for sure! And might I add you look especially disgusting today and you have fair fragrance not unlike zombie diarrhea!"
Spots was shocked. "DAD! Are you crazy?! Sorry maa'm! I need to talk to my father for a second!"
"I'LL BE DOWNSTAIRS WITH MY NEW FIANCE, YOU OLD HONEY DRIPPER!"
She pulled Nick into the apartment and shut the door. "What's wrong with you! Yea, she may be ugly and kinda smelly, but we need to be nice to her to keep this place!"
"Sorry Spots, I should have told you this sooner. Adult Wolverines tend to look and smell and act pretty nasty. It's just who they are and they actually take great pride in it, so to insult Miss Logan is to compliment her."
"Seriously?"
"Yup. The more you tell her how ugly and stinky she is, the more she likes it. Just don't tick her off. She's a hell of a fighter."
Spots rubbed her hands with glee."Oh mammal! This is gonna be sweet!" She looked around the room some more. "Oh look! We got an X-Bucks One!"
"Noooo. That belongs to the Tuckenrolls! Besides, we got a Pawstation 4. Speaking of which..."
Nick called down to the armadillos down on the street. "Hey Mr. Tuckenroll! C'mon up!...Mr. Tuckenroll?...Hello?...Hunh, I guess they left!"
"Free X-Bucks One for my room!" Cheered Spots
"Don't get your hopes up." Nick replied.
"Y'know dad, back in elementary school, I used to have an armadillo friend on my basketball team."
"What position did he play?"
"The ball!" Spots started to laugh.
"Very cute. Now let's get going. We're gonna have to make a trip to the bank and pray I have enough in savings to not only make the deposit, but get a nice used mini van."
"You said you've been putting into savings since you were a kid and with interest, you may have quite a bit!"
"I doubt it, but we'll see."
They walked down and saw Miss Logan chatting with her new boyfriend/fiancee Patch.
"Woah! Double the ugly!" Spots commented.
"THANK YOU!" They both shouted back.
"Oh! Before we leave, I forgot to introduce you to my new daughter. This is Vivian. I call her Spots. She's a fourteen year old hyena and a proud, open lesbian. I have two more kids that my mom is babysitting."
"WELL AIN'T THAT NICE?! I GOTTA NIECE WHO'S LESBIAN TOO! SHE'S GONNA BE AT THE GAY PRIDE PARADE TONIGHT!"
"Cool!" Said Nick. "Are you sure it's not the 'Pride pride' parade for the lions? Because they get those two mixed up sometimes."
"NAH! IT'S DEFINITELY THE GAY ONE!"
Nick looked over at Spots. "You wanna go to that one sweetie? I think Fangmeyer might be going to that. She's on the force. She's not a lesbian, but transsexual."
"Sounds cool." said Spots. "Yeah! I'll go!"
"GREAT! I'LL BE TAKING MY NIECE MYSELF! SEE YA THERE!"
"We'll come back soon with the deposit." said Nick.
"See you later Logan!" added Spots. "You and your man smell like armpits if they could fart!"
"WELL AINT YOU SWEET?! MY NEW SWEETHEART'S NAME IS PATCH! SAY HELLO DARLING!"
Patch looked at Nick. "I'VE MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN MY LIFE! PLEASE KILL ME!"
"AWWW! HE SAYS THE SWEETEST THINGS! YOU TWO ENJOY YOUR DAY NOW!"
Nick and Spots waved goodbye and headed out.
Meanwhile...
Judy felt the wind brush past her fuzzy cheeks as her and Ben were speeding in their new ride. It felt wonderful. Her and Ben had hit the road. They both had their own custom helmets as well. Judy's has slots on top for her ears to poke out of while Ben's have cheetah ear shapes with tiny holes for air to vent through and for Ben to be able to hear.
"This is awesome!" Shouted Judy.
"Whoo!" Shouted Ben. "Let's hit the best spots! Winchell's... Dunkin's... Krispy Greens... Cinnabone..."
"We're out here to protect and serve Clawhauser, not eat sweets!"
"Aww poo!"
Just then, they heard a lady scream. "Help! My purse! That lynx nabbed my purse!"
Judy saw the lynx running across the street and put on her siren. The lynx saw them running and took off down the street.
"Stop in the name of the law!" Judy shouted. She shot two darts out, but the lynx dodged them and one of them hit a hippo on the leg.
"Sorry! Sorry!" Shouted Judy.
Luckily, the darts were meant mainly for small mammals. The hippo wasn't knocked out, but it did make him feel woozy. "It'z ooOkay bunny! I fEel gOOd!"
The lynx darted down an alley. "We're too wide!" Shouted Clawhauser.
"No we're not! Get ready to steer!" Judy hit the disconnect button and he and Ben separated. She drove the bike down the alley while Ben followed behind, driving the side car, dodging dumpsters along the way.
"Okay, NOW this is awesome!" Shouted the cheetah.
The lynx managed to leap over a back yard fence. "EEP! They're too close!"
"He's getting away!" Shouted Judy. They parked the side car and bike on the sidewalk. Ben ran to the fence and tried desperately to climb over, but he was too heavy. Judy managed to get underneath him and push him over. The act alone made Ben out of breath.
"You GASP! get him!...I'll WHEEZE! wait here!"
The lynx leaped over another fence. "Ha-Ha! I'm free!" He turned around, only to see Judy in front of him.
"Hello there!"
"EEP AGAIN! H-How did you get ahead of me?!"
"I'm super fast with a great leaping ability. Now, are you gonna come quietly or.."
"I give up!" The lynx shouted. "I've heard all about you officer Hopps! I know better than to mess with you!"
"Well that's the smartest thing you've done all day." She looked through the purse. "HEY! Where's the victim's money?! Her belongings?"
"Oh, I dumped them out in front of her before taking the purse."
"...What?!"
"I can't help it! I'm a guy who just loves purses! I got a huge collection at home and this one is just beautiful! It's sad, but no one shares my appreciation of a quality purse!"
Judy put the cuffs on him."Well next time just ask her where she bought it!"
"Why didn't I think of that?" the Lynx puzzled as Judy put him in Ben's side car. The side car had seat belts that automatically strapped him detained criminal down. She connected the car back to the bike and went to check on Ben.
"Clawhauser! Ben, are you okay?"
Ben just sat on the grass, sobbing. "What kind of cop am I Judy? I SNIFF! I can't even get over a simple fence! I ran out of breath just running across the street! I was better off on dispatch. I...I'm a loser!" He started to sob.
Judy gave him a hug and petted his head. "Hey! Heeey! You're just getting the rust out! That's all! You'll be back to fighting shape in no time. You'll see."
She walked him around the house and back to the motorcycle. Ben sat behind her and they took off to deliver the purse back.
Moments later, Judy handed the lady leopard her purse. "Here you are ma'am!"
"Thank you, but why did he steal the purse with nothing inside?"
"I have a love of fine purses!" said the lynx. "Can you tell me where you got yours?"
"Oh! Ummm..J.C. Piggy! I love purses too! I have a huge collection at home."
The lynx ears perked up. "So do I!"
"Really?" Said the leopard. Her ears started to blush. "Ummm are you single?"
The lynx looked real happy. "Yeah! Let me give you my number and you can call me after I make bail!"
Ben loved it. "Awww! We made a love connection!"
Judy shrugged her shoulders. "Everyone has their thing I guess. I'm just happy it ended well. C'mon! Let's get you to the station!"
Meanwhile...
Nick and Spots were waiting in line at the bank.
"You don't know dad, if you've been saving this long, it's probably in the hundreds of thousands!"
"I doubt that freckles. I mean, my mother started it with me ages ago, but I have overdraft coverage and there was quite a few incidences where I went over for a bit. I'll be happy if I have enough to cover the deposit and a used minivan."
They got up to the counter.
"Hello, I'm Nick Wilde. Here's my I.D. and debit card. I'd like to transfer some of my savings into my checking account, but I need to see my current balance."
"Okay, Mr. Wilde." The checker went over and printed up a slip. She handed it over to Nick. "Here you are."
Nick looked at the slip. His eyes bulged out of his skull and he immediately passed out. Spots was in shock.
"Dad! Are you okay?! Dad!"
