A/N
Before I begin here, I would like to say that the chapters grow much better as the story progresses. I am a new writer, and a socially awkward one at that. Please forgive mistakes, and tell me how I can improve as the story gets rewritten. Thank you, and as always, I wish you a happy day, week, year, and life.

Down below, in the massive city of Zootopia, the residents saw only a fiery streak heading into the park.
(pov: fire fighter elephant)
"This fire's too hot!" I was yelling at the team again, wasn't I? "We need all hoses on the inside of this thing! If we get the inside to go out, we can get the rest of this fire easy as pie!"
All I knew, was that a hunk of metal fell out of the sky and into my favorite pond, I personally wanted to look inside the thing, but, if I went inside I'd melt.
It was Steve's turn to yell. "Oh my god! There's someone in there! The fire is out, someone get it out of there!"
I wasted no time to respond. "I'm on it!"
I was not prepared for what I saw inside. There it was, in all its broken glory, arms and legs in un-natural angles, absolutely no fur on its body and its face, oh the horror, it had no muzzle, only three holes in the flat face. I grabbed it and ran out of there, upon closer inspection, it was not burnt on any part of the body, it seemed to be naturally that way, however, the limbs were definitely broken and it seemed to have metal sticking out of it in multiple places. The shards of metal had gone all the way through its body and suit, and it seemed to have a large bruise on the forehead.
At this I began to panic. "Call an ambulance!"
(pov: Peter)
"#£¥%€£ €¥d it's waking up!"
I tried to speak. "Where am I?"
"You're in an ambulance sweetie, you were just in a terrible accident, do not move, you will only hurt yourself more."
"I can't see."
"You may have some brain damage..."
"Can you press my right temple firmly for three seconds?"
"If that would make you feel better."
I saw the beautiful letters of the system startup.

DAMAGE: FRACTURED KNEES AND ELBOWS, MAJOR LACERATIONS IN THE TORSO, LEGS AND UPPER ARMS, MINOR BRUISING ACROSS CHEST AND HEAD
"Thank you ma'am, I can see now. Damage report came in... I have but one word for this."
"Oh?"
"Ouch."
