Hey, guys. I'm back with the last chapter to this long three-shot. Also, if my last chapter felt rushed to you guys, I apologize. I'm still kind of new to this sort of thing, so I gotta find some way to try and work on that. But, I hope you guys enjoy this fanfic and others like it all the same. Well, please enjoy the climax.
Nick, Judy, and Sheila exhaled a long sigh in relief. The two parents hugged their daughter, finally having her safe in their arms again.
"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, mommy." said Sheila.
"Don't worry about it too much, hon. We're just glad you're safe now." said Judy.
"Come on, ladies. Let's go home." said Nick.
The family of three were going to have to walk home, seeing as how the car they used to get here was caught in the explosion, not to mention it was a car from the ZPD. That was going to be a tough one to tell Chief Bogo.
However, Judy's and Sheila's ears perked up. They turned to the burning wreckage that was once the pizzeria.
"Ma, you heard that right?" Sheila said, hugging her mother's waist.
"Oh, yeah." Judy said, holding Sheila close.
"Uh, girls? What's the matter now?" Since Nick didn't have super hearing like his wife and daughter, he had to ask.
However, he did have acute sight in the dark, so peering into the burning building, he saw movement. A huge form was emerging from the burning wreckage. The form came into clear view, leaving the Wilde's to gasp in complete fear.
A huge animatronic-like hydra, with all the heads of the seven mascots, emerged and let out an ear-splitting robotic screech.
"You have got to be KIDDING ME!" Nick yelled.
"RUN!" Judy shouted.
The Wilde's made a mad dash down the road, the mechanical monstrosity, despite it's large size, was picking up speed. The Wilde's turned down an alley they thought would be narrow for the hydra, however the hydra proved not to stupid as demonstrated when pulling all their heads into a straight line, one head stacked onto another. Nick stopped, and pushed a large dumpster towards the hydra to slow it down.
"I don't get it!" Nick said, catching up to the girls. "How is this even possible?!"
"The spirits. They have to still be trapped in the animatronic's heads." said Judy.
"Look! The construction site! Head there!" Nick pointed to a construction site in Sahara Square.
Judy and Sheila tunneled underneath the fence, while Nick climbed fast over the fence. The three ran into the center of the site. Nick looked around, and found what he hoped to find in here.
"Here, Judy. Take this." Nick handed Judy a large wad of dynamite.
"Nick! Get rid of that!" Judy shouted in surprise.
"No, I have an idea!" said Nick. "You take this, take Sheila, and climb up that crane. I'll use that excavator to distract the machine, lure it to the crane, and try to tear an opening in it's back. That's when you throw the dynamite into the machine."
"Well, I dunno. It sounds like it could work, but-" The raspy screech of the hydra and it crashing through the metal fence cut off Judy's doubts.
Judy nodded, grabbed the dynamite, and ran with Sheila to the crane. Nick made a run for the excavator.
"Come on, Sheila. You first, honey. I'll be right behind you." Judy helped Sheila up the ladder, and followed up shortly as the hydra stomped into the site.
Nick whistled to get it's attention from the excavator. "Come get a piece of me, Sweetheart." challenged Nick.
The hydra attacked Nick, but Nick swung the large arm, and slammed all seven heads together. The hydra was stunned, and dazed from the attack. Nick charged, and slammed the shovel into it's back, trying to tear an opening. The Foxy and Freddy heads snapped out of it, and wrapped their necks around the arm. Nick tried to pull away, but their grip was strong. Nick put the excavator in reverse, dragging the hydra towards the crane.
Judy was working her way across the crane, and towards the line with the hook. Judy slid down the rope, and wrapped her legs around the sheave of the hook. "Okay, Sheila. Pull the lever on your right to lower me down, but gently." Judy called.
Sheila, at the controls, gave a thumbs up, and pulled the lever. Judy began descending right above the hydra. From up where Judy was, she could she Nick's attack left several open gashes in the hydra's back. One gash looked big enough to throw the dynamite in. Judy lit the dynamite with her lighter, crossed her fingers, and threw the dynamite into the gash. Judy signaled Sheila to pull her up. Nick saw that Judy pulled it off, taking it his cue to jump out of the excavator, and take cover in a ditch.
The hydra stopped, feeling funny, then all eyes on it's seven heads lit up with terror to realize what that feeling was, too late. The metal monster exploded, giant body, seven heads and all, until there was nothing left but a large cloud of smoke and dust.
...
"Nick? Nick?!" Judy called out as the smoke and dust slowly started to settle.
"Mama, there he is." Sheila pointed out to Nick crawling out of a ditch.
"Girls." Nick ran over and hugged his wife and daughter.
"We did it. We actually did it." Judy said, looking around to see if any part of machinery survived. There was none left.
"Um, hold the phone. You guys hear that?" Sheila said, with her ears alert. A quiet, but ghostly noise could be heard a few feet away. "It's over there."
The family of three walked to where said noise was, and were met with a shocking sight. It was the purple-uniformed wolf. The wolf didn't say or do anything. He only pulled his hat down to cover his face, and turned his back, fading away. The dust had completely settled, and all of the six kids were there. They smiled and waved at the family of three.
Just as they faded away, they all let out one final sentence at once, "Thank you."
Judy, Nick, and Sheila looked up at the starry sky. The children were free at long last. The nightmare of Freddy's was over, and to think it was all thanks to a family called the Wilde's.
...
A week passed since that night. Bogo wasn't very pleased to hear they lost another patrol car, however since they did find their daughter, and knowing they were wanting to ask for some time off with be with her after her experience, to make sure she would be okay, the Chief was gonna let them off the hook, but not without assigning them to parking duty for all next week. Nick and Judy didn't seem to mind too much, just happy they had their kid back was what really mattered right now.
So, on the last day of their time off, Nick and Judy brought Sheila to Bunnyburrow, where the annual carrots day festival was being held, again. Nick and Judy were walking with Judy's parents, Stu and Bonnie, with Sheila skipping right behind them, singing a tune.
However, Sheila stopped and out of the corner of her eye, she spotted from afar a young wolf man, wearing a security jacket and hat. The wolf just gave a cheery smile, and mouthed out to her, "Thank you."
"Sheila! come on, honey!" Judy called.
"Yes, mommy!" Sheila ran to catch up to her family.
The wolf turned and walked away from the festival, carrying the damaged halves of the Freddy, Foxy, Bonnie, and Chica heads, humming himself his own tune. The name on the back of his jacket read, "M. Schmidt."
Well, you guys. There you have it. First Zootopia fanfic done. The climax scene was inspired by the movie and game based on it, "Monster House". Before I got into the series, when I learned what it was about, I first thought it had a feeling just like the movie. Also, let me know what you guys think about that last part with Mike making a cameo. I'm sure you're wondering what that was all about. Well, I'll just leave you guys to draw your own theories in the comments (The idea just came up in my head was all, and I really wanted to add that to the story). Hope you all enjoyed it. I own nothing, except my OC, Sheila. All rights go to original owners. No copyright intended. Stay tuned for more fanfics. (Maybe I'll do a one-shot with my OC before I leave for vacation).
