Disclaimer: I don't own Zootopia and any characters from the movie, only my OC's.

Announcement 1: This here is my first fanfic and also pretty much my first time I will write a whole story (I always wrote short ones, but never a long story with multiple chapters). I will try to keep this up-to-date as much as possible, but I also have some other things I need to do at the same time as well. Anyway, hopefully you will like my first story.
Announcement 2: Please check out TheLivingSionainn's fanfic "The Bunny and the Human". It's a great fanfic and it also inspired me to do my own, so it's definitely worth to check out!

Prologue: It would be recommended to read it, even if there won't be anything big or whatnot in here. It contains some information that is useful for the story (it won't have any single detail about for example the surroundings; still a lot of that kind of stuff will be integrated into the story). Anyway, here is the prologue:

Redport City: A big city that was founded by a big group of people at the year 2050 after a major war happened that almost killed the entire humanity. At that time, already some new more technological stuff was invented like laser weapons or tactical shields built entirely out of energy. After the war was over, the city was built, but there were still groups of humans who seemed to be still willing to attack other groups. So Redport City was built but one important thing for it was the city's wall. It reached 500 meters into the air. It was a huge wall and its purpose was to hold of enemy groups. The city inside these walls was built pretty quickly: It only took 10 years to fully build it.

The years past by and we now have the year 2102. The city is now ruled by a president called Jason Wesson. He is 1.80 meters in height and always wears a black suit with a white shirt underneath it and a black tie. He has short brown hair and blue eyes. Unlike a president in a democracy, he makes his own laws and is also in control for pretty much everything in this city, making the pedestrian's lives worse. He pretty much only cares about his city and not about how good the citizens live. But he alone isn't the evil mind in this town. There is also a guy named Duke Connor. He is the commander of the ETF (Elite Task Force) Units and is pretty much ruling over them. Connor is 1.92 meters in height, has black and very short hair and green eyes. He usually wears a dark blue shirt with black pants and black combat boots, very similar to the police officer uniform there, but without a tie. Usually the guards here have a full body armor made out of reinforced steel, but he only has an armor that covers his upper chest part, the rest is not protected by such armor. On the shoulders of his armor there is "ETF-Unit" written on the right shoulder of the armor and "Commander" written on the left side. His armor is light blue, the color of the ETF-Units armor. He is very muscular and also very skilled in combat, especially with weapons. He usually only has a laser pistol, but due to the fact that he has a lot of aiming skills, he can take out enemies with it very easily. Connor is standing on the president's side and always agrees with him. This also led to them developing some kind of friendship. They sometimes meet together in bars or hanging around somewhere, but mostly talking about their plans for the future. Even if they kind of caring for the city, it cannot be seen everywhere: There is a big part of the city called "The Dark Side". These are the city's slums. The city is divided in different parts: The slums, the industrial area, the rich area, the forest area, the bazaar area and the downtown area. James Hunter himself is living in the downtown area near the edge of where the slums begin. James is 1.70 meters in height and usually wears a blue hoodie with dark blue jeans and black sport shoes. He has short hair too, but it's a little bit longer than the one from the president. His hair color is brown and his eye color is brown too. Back when he was a child, he always wanted to become a police officer. Usually kids always want to become one of the ETF-Units because of the cool looking armor and weapons they have and also because of their missions they get (although only a few of them go to the public). The police in this city are pretty much only having a side roll, as even the ETF-Units are patrolling the areas for example, so they are also doing some stuff that usually a police officer would normally do. But he always wanted to be a police officer that solves crimes and catches criminals and not an ETF-Unit that is literally just shooting at criminals. However, as soon as he became older, he found out about how wrong some laws are actually and how people will be treated in this city and how shitty this place actually is. So instead of becoming a police officer that even has to follow these corrupted laws, he joined a gang called "The Freedom Fighters". The gang's headquarters are hidden in a dead end area in the slums, not far away from where James lives. He is a member of this gang since he was 19. Now he is 25 years old. The gang always tried plans to fight over the president and to make the city a better place, but they always failed. Already a lot of members were locked up in the ETF High Security Prison and were tortured till their death. Some members were able to be rescued, but most of them never had the chance to be rescued. Some of them even became test subjects for horrible tests. However, the gang still doesn't give up with their plans. James himself never really had a weapon because he was a spy for the gang. Since he arrived, he made a pretty good job with that and so he became more trained in stealth. However, his mom and dad were already killed by the ETF-Units because of "betraying" the city. They simply never told them about where James lives (because he is one of the people on the wanted list), so they pretty much sacrificed their lives for him. He himself never knew about his parents got captured, as it was held secretly. One day when he was spying inside the prison, he saw the corpses of his parents prepared to be burnt. At this sight, he was completely shocked and very sad too. After reporting this to his boss; he got one week off from him in order to handle his loss, so he decided to take his week to go on a vacation. He knew that anybody who is living in Redport City could only take a maximum of 7 days of vacation outside the city per year, but he needed the time to process his parents' death. He spent his one week of vacation in a place called Vertbeach that is not too far away from Redport City. It was a small, but nice and clean place where everything was more peaceful than in his hometown. But after his vacation he needs to go back immediately, otherwise he will be hunted by the ETF-Units, even if he tries to move outside the city.

Zootopia: A very large city filled with anthropomorphic animals. Predators and prey are living together in peace here. Similar to Redport City, Zootopia is divided in different parts: Tundratown, Sahara Square, Rainforest District and so on. Unlike Redport City, Zootopia doesn't has strict laws that pretty much keep citizens in this city and that make the lives of them miserable. Instead, citizens here can enjoy their lives and they can also be free. Two of the citizens here in this city are the officers Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. They are partners at the ZPD and they already solved some cases together after the Night Howler incident that happened one year ago. They both became best friends too. Since the Night Howler case the city was more peaceful and there haven't been any major crimes since then happening.

Little disclaimer: The Zootopia world doesn't has technology like the humans in this fanfic do, they are in the year 2017 and still have the technology like we have here around (however, the normal pedestrians in the human world do still have technology like we have here (for example the mobile phones), the more futuristic stuff in this fanfic belongs to the ETF-Units or to the very rich people here (including the president). Well, with that said, here comes Chapter 1, hope you like it

Chapter 1 – The Beginning

Everything went fast. First, I was about to go back to Redport City from vacation and now I'm locked inside a cell. I wasn't in a normal prison; instead, I was locked inside a cell of the ETF High Security Prison! Well, it makes sense as I'm James Hunter, a member of a gang called "The Freedom Fighters" who is spying for them. But now, I have to figure a way out, otherwise I would get killed or I might even become a test subject. I really need to get out of here a.s.a.p.

5 hours ago

It's my last day of vacation and I'm already packing all my stuff and make myself ready to go home. I always think about one thing: How beautiful this place actually is. I wish I could stay in a place like Vertbeach forever, but that isn't possible for me, unless I want to be hunted down. Well, technically I will already be hunted down in Redport City, but if I'm trying to flee now, they will hunt me down like I would be the greatest enemy in this world, as Redport City wants to have every citizen to stay here in this city locked up from the outside world for some reason. I'm glad that the president at least made a law that everybody is allowed to have 7 days of vacation outside the city each year. I know it's very few, but it's better than nothing. Actually, it's the only thing the president did well (at least partially). All other things he did were actually really bad, especially his laws. He is definitely a dictator and not a president. Whatever, I now packed all the stuff, made myself ready and I'm now heading out to my car and drive back to my home.

3 hours later

Usually it takes only 1 hour from Vertbeach to Redport City by car, but there was a lot of traffic jam here and I simply didn't come forward. I also made 5 stops with each of them lasting 10 minutes, as I needed to rest from this awful traffic. But I made it; I finally arrived in front of the big entrance to the city. There was no one outside the city guarding, as the entrance to it was sealed by an automatic door that open when it detects a citizen of this city. Don't ask me how they do that, they probably have some details of every citizen stored inside of a data bank or such. But at the time, I didn't cared; I just wanted to get in now. So I went through the door that was much smaller than the entrance itself and went inside a room. It was a room with two doors, one where I came through and the other one that leads to the city. I think this was built like this in order to detect any intruders if they managed to get through, as I know that this room also has some cameras in it and even a laser turret that would shoot anybody who is there illegally. Now the door where I got through closed behind me and the other door started to open. But as soon as the door opened, I saw something surprising:

"Well, who we got here?" said a voice. I immediately recognized the voice. It was Duke Connor, the Commander of the STF-Units. In that moment, I knew I might be screwed, but I was still confused, especially about why they are standing there. Did they stand there all the time? Or did they arrive at the same time as I did?

"Mister President, we got the subject you wanted, James Hunter. We have him surrendered, we will bring him to prison" said Connor speaking to the president using a headset.

"Uhm, what did I do wrong?" I asked, but only to be answered by Connor: "You know what you did! You know exactly why we looked for you and we also know that you were spying on us at the time when we killed your parents. We even granted your holiday, so we can make a plan for what we are going to do with you". He smirked while saying that, so I know that it wasn't good at all.

I didn't have anything at all to say against and all of the sudden; I was knocked out by a guard. Everything want black for me and I could only hear Connor say "We got him, take him to -"and then, I didn't heard anything anymore.

Present time

I try to figure a way out of this prison, but with no success. I would know how to get out of this prison in general, as I was spying this place since I became a member of the Freedom Fighter gang. But my real problem right now is that I need to think of a way out of this cell and that was complicated for me. I was never in a situation like this before, but I know that I still have to try to get out, otherwise I would be screwed.

Suddenly, the door to my cell opened and revealed a guard behind it.

"Come with me, Commander Connor wants to see you" he said. I just nodded and began to walk out of my cell. As I walked out I saw another guard that was covered be the walls. They both escorted me to Commander Connor, one guard is behind me and the other is in front of me taking the lead. We walked for like 5 minutes through the prison and during that time I saw the exit area and I immediately had an escape plan in mind.

But for my surprise, there was a door in a hallway that had a sign at the top of it reading "Experiment B-98C". I didn't know what that means and I never saw that there too. It must be something new that has been made during my vacation time. I looked at the door and the guard behind me noticed that I'm looking at the door.

"Forget it, there is something behind that door that is not intended to be seen by a guy like you!" he said in an unfriendly tone in his voice. I then just looked away from it, but still thought about what might be behind the door. Is there something dangerous? Or is there something powerful behind it?

Well, I shouldn't care about that at this moment, as I need to go to the exit.

We arrived at the place where Commander Connor is and at that moment, the guard behind me walked away into another hallway. As soon as the door closed, it was only me and the guard in front of me. As soon as he turned his back to me to open the door leading to where Connor is, I sneaked away quickly and got into an air duct. The guard didn't notice all that at first, but was immediately alerted by my absence when he turned around.

"SHIT!" he yelled.

At this moment Commander Connor also noticed that and pressed the alarm button. Now I had to get out of here a.s.a.p.

I crawled through the vents and I thought it was safe until I heard a voice shouting: "I HEAR SOMETHING IN THE VENTS! IT MUST BE HIM! SHOOT THE VENTS!"

Suddenly, I only heard shots from laser cannons and the lasers hitting the vent causing it to get damaged. And all of the sudden, the vent broke off and landed onto the ground with me inside.

I got up quickly and crawled out of the shaft only to see a lot of guards shooting at me. Some bullets almost hit me, but due to me being fast, I dodged them all. I ran to the direction where the exit is only to be greeted by a big group of guards. One of them even had a weapon that looked like a…

PEACEMAKER! Shit, I have to get away from there! The exit area was so close but there were guards everywhere. The guard with the peacemaker charged his weapon to the max. It would literally kill me or at least injure me heavily. There was no way out, except the door reading "Experiment B-98C" and to my luck, the door opened with a scientist to go out. He was shocked by the sight and took out his laser pistol. He shot a few shots only to be dodged by me. As soon as I got close to him, I ripped the gun out of his hands and picked it up quickly and got into the room where he is. Now, only I and the scientist are inside the room. I threatened him with the laser pistol, so that he doesn't open the door. Apparently the guards don't have access to this room, so they tried to burst the door.

I was in safety for now, so I looked around the room, still threatening the scientist.

I asked him: "What the hell is that all here?" pointing to a big white machine that had a cage in the middle.

"W…Well, it's a t..teleporter" he said with fear. I was stunned with misbelieve by this. A teleporter? How ridicules.

"Well, if it is a teleporter, why don't you teleport me away from this place?" I asked him with a bit of a threatening voice.

"Uhm, why me? I don't want to be getting killed if they find out that I helped you."

"What do you think is better, that they find that out or that I kill you?"

"I…I guess I will help you"

"Good; now, teleport me somewhere safe!"

At this moment he activated the machine and told me to stay in the cage which I did. He activated it and all of the sudden, he said: "Now, that you can't do anything against me, I have to say that I will teleport you to another world! Haha! Did you really thought I would help a criminal like you? Well, wrong!"

"What, noo! You bastard!" I shouted back.

I needed to act quickly, so I shot somewhere with my laser pistol and apparently I hit something that caused an explosion.

"WHAT THE HECK! LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" the scientist yelled at me with a lot of anger. He continued: "DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO BUILD THAT THING?!"

At the same moment, the teleporter charged and another explosion happened. This time, it was way bigger; it looked like that the whole room might got blown up. I also felt a sharp pain in my left leg and all of the sudden, everything went pitch black.

"Am I dead" I thought to myself, just seeing pitch black and nothing more, not even my own body. But after like 10 seconds, I suddenly appeared in an alleyway. I was able to make out that I was in a city and that the time must be at some point early in the morning. I checked myself and I still wore my casual clothes and I also still had the laser pistol in my right hand. I decided to holster it in my right pocket of my hoodie. I headed out of the alleyway carefully to see if I'm still in Redport City. But to my surprise, I wasn't. And more surprising for me is that there weren't any humans around, but instead, I only saw... animals.

Alright guys, this here is my first chapter and I hope you liked it, see you next time :D
