Hey dudes. New story here. THIS TIME, this story is completely unrelated to my two previous one. Think of it as a totally alternative universe where Zootopia's original plot with Wild Times is blended in with the current Zootopia movie. Also, Nick grew up with a little more violence making him not only cynical but dangerous not because he wanted to, but because he had to. This will be fun WildeHopps story!
"It's called a hustle sweetheart~" she quipped with a high pitched mocking tone alluding to the fox's own snarky remark. Her wrist on her hip while the other paw held the carrot pen.
Nick stared at her in awe and disbelief. The fennec fox in the stroller began to laugh, "She hustled you…" he teased. His laugh got exponentially louder as his deep voice now boomed, "She hustled you GOOD!"
He stood up from the stroller as he began to peel his cute cop sticker off his costume and grabbed Nick by the collar, "You a cop now Nick! You gonna need one of theeeese." He slapped the sticker on him before hopping out of the stroller.
"Have fun workin' with the fuzz!" He teased once more before walking toward the alleyway cackling all the way shaking his head and holding his stomach.
Nick's face now showed a frustrated and irritated expression as he pulled his paw down his face letting out a groan. I can't afford to do this right now…
From the corner of his eye he noticed Finnick give a small gesture toward the alleyway. The alley had a shoddy wooden door and fencing for an entrance.
Nick nodded very slightly at Finnick's direction as the small fox pried open the door.
"Start talking!" Judy demanded.
"Alright… look… I don't know where he is I only saw where he went."
"Ok great! Let's go!" She commanded in a happy tone.
Nick thought about what to do while he watched her get into the meter maid car.
Suddenly he spoke up, "Actually, I know a faster way there and it's best if we don't drive around in that 3 wheel joke-mobile."
Judy glared at him, "I'll have you know this vehicle, though small, is a very capable machine of the ZPD an-"
"Exactly, this place that we're going… they're not gonna let us in if you're clearly from the ZPD."
"Then I'll just return with a warrant." She answered quickly hoping to force Nick to think of something else, but to her dismay, he remained adamant.
Nick gave her a half-lidded smirk before chuckling a bit, "Think about it rabbit, you get a warrant, you walk to their front door with your cute fuzzy wuzzy little tail and then what? Now they know you're a cop, all they have to do is slip out the back. And by the looks of it, you won't be getting any backup seeing as how you're just an adorable little meter maid."
Judy had her face scrunched in anger the whole time he was mocking her, but slowly relented as she realized he was right... she didn't have any help in all of this. In fact, it almost seemed like Bogo was hoping she'd fail.
She thought about it for a moment with her carrot pen pressed against her cheek.
"Alright fine. You lead the way, but I swear, fox… if you try anything funny I could have you..." she proceeded to list a multitude of ways she could have him incarcerated.
As he watched the small bunny threaten him, he couldn't help but smile a little.
"Hey are you even listening?! What's so funny?!" she demanded with a stomp.
"Oh." He chuckled before scratching the back of his head. "Sorry, you're really cute you know that?"
Her eyes widened as she turned a little to hide her blush. Why am I even blushing?
She quickly turned to face him once more, "Don't call me cute! You can't call rabbits cute!"
Nick shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever you say, officer toot toot. We gonna keep flirting, or do you want me to take you to the otter?"
Her face reddened some more as she had one finger pointed at him with her mouth gaping speechless. Flirting? What. I- "Wha-You." She growled before taking a deep breath.
"Take me to Emmit Otterton, fox." She ordered.
"My name's Nick, ya know."
"Ok take me to Emmit Otterton, Nick." She reiterated.
"Yes, Ma'am." He flashed a charming smile at her before walking toward the alleyway.
He pushed open the wood door with a bit of effort and gestured her follow. "After you, ma'am" he offered with a nonchalant smile.
She eyed him suspiciously as she walked into the alleyway.
The floor was littered with drink cups and food containers, there was also a large van with an interesting fox mural painted on it.
Wait a minute, that's the small fox's van.
Before she could put anymore of the other pieces together, she heard the wooden door slam behind her.
She quickly turned around to see that the fennec fox was hiding behind the door the whole time, she watched him latch the door. Her eyes quickly focused on Nick now who was no longer smiling and wore a rather calm and expressionless half-lidded stare.
His stare sent chills into her spine, she began to look for a way out, but to no avail. She was totally boxed in by buildings and concrete wall behind her.
Nick began to advance toward her still wearing that terrifying look.
Her fur stood up high as her mind shot into panic, but her body followed the ZPD training as she held one paw out to distance herself and her other paw to deploy her fox repellant.
My fox repellant… wh- where is it? Her paw searched franticly finding nothing but the leather of her duty belt.
Suddenly Nick stopped advancing toward her as a small smirk returned. He lifted a small bottle of fox repellant out of his own pocket.
He swiped it from me. That shifty little-
"Looking for this, rabbit? What? You didn't think I noticed this little article the first time we met?" He shook his head. "You really are as dumb as a bunny, aren't you?" He tossed the repellant back toward Finnick who caught it with one paw.
She felt her body tremble a bit as her nose twitched. Why am I scared? This is what I've been train to do! But something about foxes seem to stir an intense and instinctual fear within.
"I'm warning you two, assaulting an officer can earn you life, or worse, in prison!" she threatened as she continued to slowly back toward the wall.
Nick began to slowly advance toward her. "Oh yeah? And who's gonna know after we take care of you?"
Judy's eyes widened. "You won't get away with this, there are cameras everywhere."
Nick shook his head as he continued to slowly advance toward her, she felt her back touch the wall. She was completely trapped now.
"Cameras? Where?" His paws gestured everywhere in the alley way.
He was right, there were no cameras, she also didn't have her radio… she left it in the meter maid car. Judy began to sweat as her heart was racing.
Finnick just smiled while leaning against the wood door.
I have to get to the door. She began to devise ways to escape.
"Listen, cottontail. There's only one way out of this alive, and that is… you gotta come with us."
"Like heck I am!" she yelled in protest.
Nick sighed as he was now just a few feet away from her before he stopped "Look, I don't wanna have to do this. I think you're a great meter maid, it doesn't have to be like thi-OOF!"
He felt a swift kick to his stomach as he doubled over.
She sprinted as fast as she could toward the door obstructed by the small fennec fox. As she closed in on him, she noticed he didn't even try to move, he simply continued smiling at her leaning against the door.
What does he think he's- "AHH!"
She felt her two ears yanked back as the rest of her body was tossed all the way back to where she started near the wall of the alley way.
She landed with a loud thud as she writhed and groaned in pain.
Nick let out a loud sigh as he walked over to the fallen rabbit and crouched down next to her, "See… officer toot… that wasn't very nice of you." He grabbed her by her ears again as he pulled her off the ground.
She screamed from the violent jerk upward, it hurt a lot; she could almost feel them being torn off of her head. Her reflexes set in as she tried to kick him once more while she was suspended in the air.
Somehow, Nick blocked each kick with just his other free paw effortlessly.
She was shocked at his defensive skills. He's no ordinary crook.
Nick didn't hesitate, he swung her into the wall smashing the side of her entire body into the wall producing a loud THUD. He continued to do so four more times.
The first one hurt. She yelled out in pain.
The second one dazed her.
The third one made her limbs go limp.
The fourth one, she felt her vision and consciousness start to slip.
He dropped her on the floor as her head was swimming in every direction. She struggled to get up but the cocktail of pain, nausea, and dizziness kept her down. Judy clasped her head in agony as she fought the urge to throw up. Her vision blurred as she saw stars floating around her.
She could barely see, but noticed a blurred red furred figure standing over her again. She put one paw up toward his direction to attempt to block oncoming hits as she let out a small whimper.
Nick crouched down again beside her, "Stay down, please." His voice was oddly sincere and almost pleading as if all the humor had drained from him.
She struggled defiantly. After about a good 30 seconds of writhing and getting up and falling, she managed to barely stand on her two feet again. She was panting heavily from the fatigue and pain she endured. Judy balled her paws into a fist and stood in a weak and clearly unbalanced fighting stance.
"Pretty impressive for a bunny." Finnick remarked as he scoffed.
Nick could tell Judy was standing by sheer willpower, but her ability to fight was already neutralized.
He walked up to her and gave her a light shove, and she fell right back down to the floor.
Judy tried to scurry back onto her feet but to no avail, her head was spinning.
Finnick cackled aloud. "So Nick… Watcha gonna do now?"
Nick scratched his head and shrugged. "I guess I just gotta keep beating her till she swears she won't tell, and then throw her somewhere far away from Zootopia."
Finnick frowned.
Nick raised an eyebrow "What?"
"You know the boss doesn't like loose ends, Nick." He reminded.
Nick let out an exasperated sigh.
The two fox stood there awkwardly as the poor rabbit writhed on the floor in pain.
"And she's a tenacious one, look at her. She's not even begging for her life yet." Finnick continued.
Nick sheepishly tried to refute his implied suggestion, "Yeah… Look I was thinking maybe for this one we don't have t-"
"You wanna explain to the big bear later how ZPD knows about our little operation when the little bunny finally finds a fucking phone?" Finnick sternly asked.
Nick stared at him for a while before letting out a defeated sigh. "Alright… But you know how I hate doing this."
Finnick scowled at him "I don't care, big boss don't care either. Just get it done."
"Fine." Nick huffed as he idly looked up to the sky.
The small fox crossed his arms "How are ya gonna dispose of this one?"
Nick looked back down at Judy who was now trying to crawl over to the door.
"Can I borrow your van?" Nick suddenly asked.
"What the hell for? What you think I am? A rental service?"
"No, I was just thinking…" Nick twirled his paws a bit in the air. "Since she's a bunny and all, I figured… I'd give her a try." He bared teeth widely and winked.
Finnick stared at him confused.
Nick rolled his eyes. "I think I'll just eat her. It'll be clean and no evidence."
Finnick continued to stare at him with a deadpan expression.
…
…
…
…
Finnick stared at Nick some more but then suddenly bursted out laughing while shaking his head.
"OH GOD NICK. That's nasty! Oh… Geez… That's… That's just sick." He continued to shake his head as he tossed his keys to Nick.
"Oh...WHOO! I didn't think you had that in you, sly guy! That some fetish of yours or something? You gonna rape her corpse too, you fucking psycho?!" He broke out into a booming laughter again as he made his way over to exit the alleyway still shaking his head.
Finnick had to wipe the tear coming out of his eye as he pushed the door open, "Oho… Shit! Just let me know when you're done ok, you sick freak. Ciao." Finally, he left Nick and Judy alone in the alleyway.
By now, Judy was in shock from what she just heard. Her greatest childhood fear, besides failure, had been realized at this moment: she was going to be eaten by a fox… alive.
A new surge of adrenaline shot through her body. She managed to wobbly pick herself up from the floor and tried once again in desperation to sprint out of the alleyway.
From Nick's peripherals, he could see the small gray mammal's attempt at a getaway.
He let out a frustrated groan, "Hey! Stop! Don't- AGH…" He shook his head as he chased after her.
Judy ran as fast as she could in her current state.
She was closing in on the door, just about a few meters when suddenly she felt paws grab her ankles tightly as she fell to the floor. As a final act of desperation, she resorted to screaming for help. She couldn't help but start crying a little as her helplessness overtook her senses. She felt like fly trapped in a spider's web.
Nick panicked as he tried to shush her, but she wouldn't stop struggling and screaming.
Finally, after 10 more seconds of letting her scream, he quickly mounted her back and put her in a tight rear naked choke. Judy's ears sprang up high.
He could hear her gagging from the pressure now squeezing her little neck. Her paws weakly and franticly pawing at him in vain.
Nick shut his eyes tightly as if trying to shut out what was happening.
Finally the gagging and struggling stopped as her limbs fell totally limp along with her ears.
Nick quickly released her as he sat back against the wooden fence panting from the intense mess.
After a couple minutes of resting, he finally got up and carried her to the back of Finnick's van.
He laid her limp body down on the air mattress inside.
He let out a quick sigh once more as he ordered the seemingly unconscious rabbit to "Stay put… please."
As he turned away to exit the vehicle…zssssssk.
He turned quickly to see he was now handcuffed to the small rabbit officer.
She was on her knees with her head facing down as she spoke in a laborious and weak voice, "You are under… arrest… You have the right… to remain silent… anything yo~" Suddenly she fainted and fell face first into the mattress.
Her body had finally succumbed to the fatigue and injuries she had sustained.
Nick just stared at her in surprise with eyes wide open. He could barely believe what just happened.
He smirked a little quite impressed by her perseverance. Not just a frail and cute little bunny after all…
He exited the van and re-entered in the driver's seat. He placed the key into the ignition and started the car.
For about a minute, he just let it run as he contemplated his next move. He raised one paw to rub the bridge of his snout in frustration. What the hell am I gonna do? Boss is gonna kill me if she manages to tell anyone about this… He looked back at the sleeping rabbit, for some reason he couldn't help but feel something odd.
…
….
…..
The car engine continued to run.
He took a deep breath as he closed his eyes.
After a minute, his eyes snapped open. He made a decision.
I'm gonna do what I have to do. I'm gonna take care of the this.
BUT WHAT DAT MEAN RIGHT? :OOO Hope y'all enjoyed this new parallel universe I whipped up. It was fun to write. If y'all like it, please review and follow.
As for Taste of Rabbit, I think I will continue it when I have new ideas but right now this story seems to flow a little better for me!
