A/N: So I decided to turn the story around a bit because I feel the Prizraki got introduced to the Zootopians a bit too suddenly, so I decided to do it through a more subtle way (not really)
Anyway...
Enjoy
It was 8:00 pm, their mission was starting. Andry and Sychev got into the stealth GAZ-2975s along with another team who got into separate trucks. The trucks started up with a low hum, and when they drove out of the base, there was no noise.
The GAZ-2975s drifted through the woodland. They drove through some grassy plains, but they saw what seemed to be a campsite. They drove around it, the headlights not showing due to there being none, for the GAZ-2975's windshield was just a metal plate with a screen inside which used sonar to show the way. As they drove closer to their destination, they heard a few panicked yells in the distance, but they paid no attention to them, thinking it was something else that made those animals shriek.
The GAZ-2975s drove through the foliage, weaving through trees and avoiding rocks, they eventually reached their destination, A part of the woods which was shrouded in darkness, completely concealing their GAZ-2975s from view, and had a great view of the mega-city below. The team stepped out of the trucks, and readied their weapons; suppressed OSV-96s. They aimed down the sight, which extremely enhanced their view of the city. They zoomed in on a window on a tall building, A cheetah folding laundry, they adjusted the sight slightly and looked at the streets below. They saw many cars of different sizes for the smaller and taller animals. They zoomed in near a bank, which seemed to have nothing happening to it, so they decided to study further. They continued looking around, then they saw a huge police station which was quite a distance from the bank, and so they called GU.
"GU, this is Stealth Team Anna, I see an active large police station, can you confirm?"
"Stealth Team Anna, presence of police station is confirmed, name of station is 'Precinct 1', currently active, hacking into database, over."
After the radio cut off, the team could now hear the radio frequencies of the police officers down in the city. They heard nothing at first, then, they heard an operator's voice speak,
"Bank robbery at Zootopia bank-"
And that was all they needed, all 3 snipers immediately aimed at the bank's doors, which busted open and had a badger carrying a sack while there were two tattooed elephants that came along. The snipers loaded their weapons and asked for permission to fire.
"GU, bank robbery seen, police will not be able to arrive on time, permission to fire?"
There was a long pause before the eventual answer came,
"Permission granted."
The snipers fired small, unnoticeable cracks that signalled the discharge of their weapons. The Anti-Material bullets piercing through the skin of the elephants and the skin of the badger, as their limbs were blown off in a bloody mess. The snipers just watched as they writhed on the ground, screaming as other animals ran away doing the same.
"They will survive, according to their anatomy." Sychev muttered, taking his eye off of the scope, Andry and the 3rd sniper doing the same. The spotters and the guards were all slightly shocked at what they just did. But they did what they could, for their tranquillizer darts wouldn't be enough, and if they were to mass produce darts for all species it would cost them a lot, so they decided to just shoot and kill. The snipers stayed in their position, hearing things over the police's radio such as,
"Shots fired! Shots fired! Both criminals are severely injured! Over!"
"Ambulance is on the way, over"
"Jesus Christ! Are you guys seeing this?!"
And other things. They concluded that this was the first time they have seen criminals attacked with brutal force. So they got back into their vehicles and started driving back to base.
The GAZ-2975s once again glided through the foliage, entering the plains again, the passengers seeing the same campsite, except there were animals inside, they looked like journalists, one of them being a snow leopard and the other being a wolf with olive green clothing as well as a green hat and jeans, the snow leopard was wearing a collared shirt and jeans, what gave away the fact that they were news reporters was the fact that they had a news van parked right next to the tent, as well as a camera being held in the wolf's shoulders that was currently off. But, nevertheless, they saw the vehicles quickly skim into the dark forests, and they chased after the trucks.
Since the GAZ-2975s were much faster, they arrived at the base first, notifying Nlpazi, causing a 'Spotlight Protocol' causing all the lights and screens to go out, every inch of the base being covered with darkness, as well as the insides of the buildings, every screen, appliance, radar and such, was deactivated.
They witnessed the news reporters in the van, driving through the woods, they stopped close to the base, but not close enough to that they could see it in the thick foliage. The occupants stepped out of the van as the snow leopard got out a mic as the wolf mounted the camera on his shoulder, and began recording.
Her voice was loud, so loud that even the Silencers in their sniper nests heard her, but they could not shoot her, because they did not want to have any conflict with the island's inhabitants.
"The wolf may be able to see him, take him out via tranquillizer. Their shape and blood is like a human's, the tranquilizer may work." Nlpazi said through the radio to a Silencer 1,700 meters away, him saying a short affirmative and looking through the scope, he quickly swapped out the lethal ammo for tranquillizer darts, aimed at the wolf, took in a deep breath,
. . .
And fired.
The dart raced through the air, the telltale whistling noise of a projectile coming your way at it's loudest, the wolf heard and tried to evade it, but his efforts were in vain, as the dart eventually found it's mark in his neck, the snow leopard's scream being cut short as she was neutralized as well. After the shots, the Silencer radioed Nlpazi again,
"Targets down, over." He spoke silently as a team of Prizraki – including Nlpazi - moved over to the unconscious two.
"This will make for a good introduction" Nlpazi muttered, putting on his polarized silver mask and brushing his green hair back and silently told Sychev to pick up the camera, which he did, the camera now faced Nlpazi and two men behind him,
"Where is the mic...? Ah, there it is." Nlpazi spoke, picking up the mic, his voice becoming more amplified.
-= Meanwhile, in Zootopia =-
Every screen showing the news showed the snow leopard speaking to the camera,
"Thank you, recent reports from a couple of hikers called us and told us of some strange creatures that lived here. They said that these 'creatures' were wearing entirely black attire, obscuring their features from everything. We have come here to investigate and as you can see-" She paused, moving out of the way, the cameraman zooming behind her to clearly state her point,
"There is nothing there, so, according to our exploration, this ridiculous claim is officialy a hoax." She finished, but just as she finished, a whistling noise became loud in a matter of seconds and something hit the cameraman, him falling over and dropping the camera, the camera facing sideways and facing the snow leopard's paws, she screamed before another whistling sound echoed through the woods and something hit her, the latter falling over, unconsious, but to the audience, dead, then, a bunch of black figures stood up in the woods, and ran over to the two bodies, they looked exactly like what they described, all black attire and heavily armed with guns. They said some things before one of them picked up the camera and faced it towards a mammal wearing a polarized silver mask that covered his entire face, while the two others beside him wore polarized gas masks, and they all hefted equipment that could destroy the SWAT's equipment.
"People of Ascension Island, we come in peace. Please do not take this as an act of oppresion, we just tranquilized them. We have a proposal to make. But just before you take out your outdated phones and call the coppers, just know we have a proposal. And you know what that proposal is? If we help you, you help us. We shall not go into detail over what we will help you with, nor shall we say what you will help us with. Just send us your leader and we will have a proper discussion. There is no catch, and there is no danger. Uvidimsya pozzhe." He finished, the news broadcast ending with static as the camera was seemingly destroyed.
All of the citizens were silent as they stayed in shock from the broadcast. They then went beck to their normal lives.
-= Back with the Prizraki =-
They walked back to base, ending the Spotlight Protocol, and waiting for their new visitors.
"When do you think they will arrive sir?" A Prizraki asked, Nlpazi stopping for a second,
"I doubt they will arrive at all." He replied, walking to the HQ, and telling the operators to switch the power back on, which they did. Then he skimmed passed them and entered his office, solemnly closing the door.
