(Use whatever lullaby y'all think fits. I am not typing out song lyrics) Also, big thanks to Spectre47 for all the assistance I have received y'all should check out his stories and I hope y'all enjoy this chapter. It is pretty long it took me a few days to write this entire thing.
Unable to fathom what he had just heard come from the rabbit's mouth. Ray began thinking.
I have only been here for a few hours. I barely know them, but I now no longer have a home or family. My stubbornness wants to say, take me back, but my rational side knows it is impossible and that I should stay with them, I realize I had not spoken for some time and that I wore a sad face. I look to Judy. "Yes, yes, seeing how I have nowhere else to go." I had answered but then my ears picked up something like somebody talking but extremely muffled.
Judy felt concern as she saw a sad look on Ray's face. She too began to frown believing that he was going to decline, their offer. However, her ears perked up when she heard him say yes, but before she could say anything or do anything. She noticed Ray ears perk up and turned to the direction of a nearby window. She too turned her ears in the same direction and could hear someone utter the words, Paladin and Centurion
A strange figure wearing camouflage from the year 2317 hid in a bush underneath a window using a micro camera to view what was happening inside the house, but not just the strange figure could see it but all of those in command of him as he streamed through a time and dimension hole. "Azure soldier 113 reporting to Paladin and Centurion child has been exposed to modified nanobots permission to lay them to rest." The voice said in a heavy African accident
"Leeper, what are Paladin and Centurion?" Judy asked in a curious yet concerned tone.
"Where did you hear those names?" Leeper questioned back, his voice dropping letting out a serious tone as he stared at Judy. "Those are names of high-rank members of Arcane Judgment," he answered.
The member of Arcane Judgment Azure 113 noticed that two of the occupants in the room were looking toward the window. He hid beneath he quickly radioed back "I have been compromised. I repeat Azure 113 has been compromised." The agent singled as he tried slowly to get out of the area, keeping his camouflage activated while slowly moving.
Judy then spoke up again as she heard the voice. "I just heard it again, this time the word compromise was repeated and the word Azure followed by a sequence of three numbers 113 came from outside that window" she stated while pointing toward the nearby window she then tilted her head at Leeper, wondering what it was.
Everyone in the room remained quiet as Leeper used his holographic projector from his Time and Dimension shifter to send a message to everyone in the room. "Remain quiet. Mr. and Mrs. Hopps, I apologize, but I am going to have to break that window and wall" his holographic message stated he then received a nod from the two older rabbits "Where are the studs in this wall" Leeper's holographic message now projected as the older male rabbit ran up to the wall, lightly touching where a stud was. "Thank you" Leeper's holographic message replied
Leeper, then slowly moved to a spot just adjacent to the stud in the wall. "Does anybody have a taser" Leeper's holographic message read the older rabbit once again, however, this time bearing shame on his face as the teaser read Fox Taser the older rabbit then turned to Nick and his daughter Judy with a frown and sorry expressions
I watched as Judy's father walked up for Leeper with what looked to be a Taser, that's right, he did not trust Fox's for the longest time. Yikes. Those stairs that Judy and Nick, are giving him could melt through solid steel, what about Mrs. Hopps. As I turned my head to look at her, Mr. Hopps gave me a sheepish smile as my gaze made it over to Mrs. Hopps. I watched as she faced Palm herself and began shaking her head, but before I could turn my head back from Leeper, I heard allow crash. I turned my head as fast as I could be Mr. Leeper was halfway through the wall with the faint sound of electricity arcing.
After receiving the taser from the older rabbit, Leeper lunch through the wall. Wrapping his arm around the Arcane agent's neck and then placing the taser right near the jugular zapping the agent unconscious Leeper, then retreated out from the wall and headed out the front door as fast as he could he did not want to let a member of Arcane Judgment to escape him after reaching him. He could not afford to let an agent from Arcane Judgment slip through his fingers reaching the agent he noticed that he was unable to put away his transmission device looking into a micro camera Leeper smiled
"For all those Arcane Judgment members out there, here is some advice for you. It is very simple." Leeper stopped as he composed himself looking into the camera. "RUN!" Leeper calmly said in a deep voice he could muster. "Of course Arcane has better shifters than I do I have to be within 100 miles of my destination for my shifter to take me there." He then took the taser to the agent's time and dimension shifter, frying it almost completely and drains the battery so that it had one shift left as Leeper punched in the coordinate and time to London in 1665 during the Black plague
I watched as Leeper leaned back into the room and run out the front door to a person he had tazed. I then heard another electric zap sound followed by two orbs surrounding the person Leeper had knocked out, they were purple and white in color, "what are those orbs?" I asked while tilting my head
"Those orbs are the time and dimension shift the purple ones are for time, the white one is dimension" Leeper answered before he turned to the older male rabbit". I do not believe we have properly introduced ourselves," Leeper said as he stuck his hand out "as you can guess I am Leeper, the last surviving member of Destiny. I do apologize for the deepest your wall. I will personally except for you. Unfortunately, my time and dimension shifter does not do construction," he said with a slight chuckle in his voice.
"Well Leeper, my name is Stu and this is my wife, Bonnie now before this conversation goes any further. I would like to know who that was. You had to bust my wall to get" to ask staring straight into Leeper's eyes for an explanation on what was going on
Leeper then began to speak, acknowledging Stu requests for answers as he did just bust a hole through the wall. He then began to speak starting from the beginning of how the organization Destiny was founded and how the group known as Arcane Judgment came to be.
Location: Zootopia Reality | Time: 10:30 a.m.
After four hours of detail information from Leeper Stu and Bonnie now understood what was going on Leeper then went into detail of where he sent Arcane. Leeper decided to inform them about the disease during that time. He's been sent to what once was one of the deadliest times in human history. Aside from Ray, everyone was astonished at how cruel Leeper was however, Ray understood everything Leeper said as he was studying history during the black plague chapter in his history, but back into human dimension.
"That was heartless and cruel of you Leeper, sending a man to his certain death" the words laid out from Judy's mouth.
"No heartless would have been me killing him here if he is smart, he will leave the city of London, and he should live a full life," Leeper said in reaction to Judy's comment Leeper then checked the time and realized he needed to make himself scarce before doing so, though he handed emergency buzzer to Ray, Nick, and Judy.
"These are emergency buzzers if you press the black button an emergency notice will be sent to me and I will be there to help and the yellow one is to call me if you have any questions. All rights I best be leaving, oh here Ray your personal effects." Leeper handed Ray a broken pocket watch his wallet his phone and DS along with the Chargers before he said his goodbyes and activated his dimension shift a white sphere began to engulf Leeper before disappearing in a flash.
I watched as a bright white orb engulfed Leeper before he vanished. After placing my things on the bed, I attempted to take a step forward, but for some reason, my legs gave out as I fell to my knees. I began to feel pain throughout my body. In addition, I started to quiver as the pain got worse bringing me to tears. I immediately curled up into a ball from the excruciating pain. However, I suddenly felt something stab into my thigh before I could assess what it was. I suddenly became dizzy and passed out
Remembering that Leeper had left the last of pain killer medication as well as instructions on how to administer said medication as well as notes on the nanobots that were in his body Judy had already read through the instructions multiple times. She swiftly grabs the last needle, and injecting the medication into Ray's thigh, seemed to take immediate effect, as he stopped shivering. Judy then gathered her parents and Nick into a huddle, "I think we should cut the family vacation short so we can keep an eye on Ray. Seeing how he apparently has not fully turned into a Fox yet," Judy pointed out to the now sleeping fox
Both of Judy's parents came to the same conclusion, as they believed it was the best option due to how scared he got when surrounded by the family, Bonnie replied with a gentle nod
"Thank you, I am sorry that we cannot stay longer me and Nick will pack our bags could you watch Ray for the time being," Judy asked as she began to head up the stairs quickly followed by Nick
"No problem sweetie" Bonnie replied as she walked closer to the now sleeping fox kit. "Stu, does his clothes look a little big to you?" Bonnie asked as she pulled the extremely loose shirt off Ray and handed it to her husband before then leaving the room to talk to one of her sons about some clothes for Ray
Stu stayed in the room keeping an eye on Ray while he examined the shirt his wife had tossed to him. It was light brown on the front there were five strange looking vehicles in white He was about to throw it away until he then read the tag 1/100. "Oh, I best, not through this away. It must be very special to him" Stu mumbled to himself as he folded the shirt up and sat it next to Ray, then one of Stu's sons walked in dropping a shirt and a pair of pants
Judy and Nick had returned with their bags in tow. They both had noticed that raise clothing was far too big for him now. However, one of Judy's brothers spared a shirt and pants
"Nick do you mind redressing him. I will take the bag out to the car." She asked as she is reaching for the luggage Nick was holding onto
"Sure here." He answered handing over his luggage as he walked over to Ray Noticing that his shirt removed and neatly folded. He handed it to Judy to add to the luggage as he then proceeded over for Ray taking the shirt, that one of Judy's brothers gave to Ray to where it was a horizontal red and white striped shirt with a small pocket over the heart is a short sleeve shirt, but it fit the pants. He was switching out were a pair of extremely large blue swimming trunks that were replaced with a pair of black cargo pants. They too were a perfect fit. "You clean up pretty well, Ray. If I do say so myself" Nick muttered to himself
After placing the luggage into the car, Judy hopped her way back inside she noticing that Nick had finished dressing, Ray. "You think you can carry him, Nick because he is as tall as me and i do not want to hurt him." She asked, looking at Ray's peaceful unconscious face
"Yeah, no problem, he is actually fairly light to me. Maybe you should sit in the back with him. Seeing how he is unconscious, don't want his head banging against the car door." Nick said with a chuckle as he slowly walked out to the car carrying Ray bridal fashion, he was now smaller than Judy was; as the nanobots did their final wave of reconstruction, Nick gently set him into the back seat. Of the car behind the shotgun seat while Judy sat on the passenger seat behind the driver to keep Ray from bouncing everywhere while he slept.
Location: Highway to Zootopia | 12:00 PM
Still on the highway with Zootopia in the distance race head laid on Judy's lap every once a while, moving his arms out as if he is reaching for something back then he started to let out a soft whine as this she started to enter a nightmare.
Ray's Dream: I seem to have been playing video games with a friend and my brother as our eyes were glued to the television time seems to fly by. As we played some racing games and first-person shooters, everything seemed great better than usual but I was not about to question it. Not wanting to ruin the moment, but then out of nowhere some men wearing clown masks and Japanese demon masks burst into the room. I did not understand what was going on until I heard two bangs as the clown masks had fired their guns at my little brother and my friend one the men that dawned, a Japanese demon mask walked up to me as he then spoke to me "You do not belong anywhere where ever you go. You are a burden to everyone now die." The stranger declared i tried to push his gun away, but he was easily overpowering, however, I managed to slip past him and ran to the living room. Unfortunately, there were no corners for me to go around. All he had to do was aim Judy noticed that Ray had begun to whine more frantically and move his arms and legs as if he was running away from something or someone. "Nick pull over. I think Ray is having a terrible nightmare."
Nick did not argue as he saw in his rearview mere Ray was kicking the door and reaching out he was starting to bear his teeth at the same time, letting out desperate whines for help Nick hastily pull over onto the shoulder of the highway. He then immediately exited the vehicle walked around to the seat Ray sat in just behind the shotgun seat
"Hey, come on Ray wake up come on buddy. It is just a dream" Nick said as he shook Ray trying to wake him up however, it did not help that he was full of a sedative to stop the pain. He had endured from the reconstruction. Fortunately, though the final phase of reconstruction finished
"Nick stop it. Let me try something" she said holding her hand out toward Nick, Judy then leans forward and whispered a lullaby into Ray's ear. It seemed to work as his muzzle closed and his whines ceased. She then began gently rubbing behind his ears his head and his back as she did so Ray began to let out a purr
"Okay, Carrots, either your motherly instincts have kicked in, or that is one powerful lullaby," Nick said with a genuine smile upon his muzzle
"Maybe a little of both It is a song my mother used to sing to me and my siblings when we were kits," Judy answered with a smile upon her face as she continued to rub Ray's head back
Nick carefully closed the door and walked back around to the driver seat before carrying on back to their home traffic seem to be light for what time it was, but no one was complaining as they arrived at the Wilde household. 30 minutes later.
Ray's Dream: as I ran, I felt an object in my hand I looked down. It was a gun, a .454 from a show I used to watch and everything seemed to slow down for some strange reason. As I turned around, I could see a bullet that was heading for me using the gun that was in my hand. I shot the bullet out of the air. Then I focus the gun down on the four intruders hitting each one precisely between the eyes. I then walked over to my brother and friends bodies. I reached into my pocket finding some small feathers that looked like a flame placing one on both the both my brother and friend. They sat back up their wounds completely healed as we then resumed are gaming the four bodies of the intruders had disappeared as if they simply evaporated. -Dream Sequence End-
Judy had lifted Ray's head and set him back up properly in his seat as Nick pulled up into the driveway. He then went around to Ray's door and began to wake him up, which seems to work. His eyes cracked open, but he was still very groggy. They slowly unbuckled him and helped him to his feet. Judy went ahead of Nick as he supported Ray slowly making their way to the front door.
"All right, buddy. We have reached the stairs. Can you lift your leg?" Nick asked as he looked at his face. His eyes still think the glazed over with sleep
Everything seems to be blurry and slightly muffled as I barely heard Nick asked if I could walk up the stairs. I nodded my head at least I think I did as I slowly raised my right foot and pushed it forward. I then lifted my left arm to my eyes to see if I could clear them so I can see my surroundings it seemed to partially work i could see a little bit more detail, but I was still very tired, but I slowly continue on walking up the steps I still did not know where we were. Therefore, I turned my head to Nick
"Wh- where are we?" I asked before letting out a long yawn
"Well, we are home," Nick replied with a smile as he helped me up each step until we reach the door. He then guided me to the couch that sat in the living room. The house was modern in its decor; the first thing I notice was a unique glass coffee table instead of having legs. They each had a centerpiece underneath the glass top. It looked like a tree trunk, while I could not exactly see the detail on the top of the table. I could feel small engravings of Leafs, and across from me a massive 80-and plasma on the wall underneath it a brick fireplace the floor seems to be made of Red Oak, the walls were also painted a dark shade of brown in contrast to the floor. The couch was soft like velvet that matched the floor with a very dark brown color, across the walls. I could see many pictures or paintings hard to tell when you still have an extremely strong painkiller in your system. My eyes do not seem to want to focus Nick still stood next to me as I looked around I then looked up to him
"You have a drink with, with caffeine?" I asked while trying to keep me steady. I had known from past instances that caffeine could wake up my brain from almost anything
"Sure you are not going to fall are you?" He asked the seeing Ray's grip the couch tightly before slowly walking off to the kitchen before taking a step in. He turns toward Ray "how about coffee. Have you had that before?" Nick asked
"No, but add some sugar to it and I will," Ray answered with a slur while still maintaining his balance
Nick had made it to the kitchen as Judy then hopped to the living room sitting down next to Ray. "How are you doing?" she asked as she started to rub behind Ray's ear, making his tail swish back and forth
"I feel like I have been stabbed in the leg by a needle," Ray replied his slur starting to clear up and his wobbliness becoming less noticeable
"Sorry about that. You were in a lot of pain, Due to the final stage of the nanobots that are in you." Judy said in a sadden tone just as Nick entered with 3 cups of coffee, handing Ray, a small cup then a mug over to Judy
"I am not mad that you stab me with a needle. Your a police officer part of your job is helping those in need." Ray stated before taking a sip of the hot coffee is still too groggy to care that it was hot. However, the caffeine in coffee seems to affect Ray faster the caffeine sodas as his ears perked up and his eyes widened he was now able to see everything. "Okay, I am awake now; I thought the place looked good when I could not see clearly. It looks even better now that I can see." Ray stated as he jumped his feet however, he started to fall due to not being used to walking, but. Fortunately, he caught himself he started to walk around the house stepping to the front door. It led to the staircase, walking to the left of the door is the kitchen and further down a dining room with a dark wooden table that could fit six mammals. If they were all medium-size looking above the table was a small glass chandelier that looked as if it was vines with Leafs hanging off them, Ray then walked back to the living room where Nick and Judy sat on the couch. "So what do I do now?"
Watching as Ray looked around the first floors decor and he had made a full circle back to the living room. Judy could only giggle as she watched him looking at every detail of the room before he stopped in front of them. "Well, you will live here because I and Nick are your guardians. We have already signed the document." Judy answered with a bit of pep in her voice
"Since I will be living in this new world, I guess I should freshen up on my history because I am betting all the other classes are the same as my old world" Ray stated while scratching the back of his head as his tail sweeps in front of him. "Question, how do I control that I do not want to trip over myself literally." He said with a bit of a chuckle in his voice
"Yeah, you will have to go to school so we will go shopping tomorrow for school supplies, as well as clothing and other essentials here in a little bit. I will clear out the spare room of the boxes we have been storing in it will also get you some bedroom furniture as well tomorrow, which means you have two options for tonight sleep with. I and Judy or the couch. And you will get used to the tail also, don't you have a pocket watch that is broken? If so, I know someone who can fix it. In fact…." Nick was then cut off.
"I will take the couch and I know you know everyone in this city and most of them. Owe you…right I guess I did not mention this but in my old home. Y'all are in a movie. It takes place during the Nighthowler case from when you Judy announced in your school play about becoming a cop and ends when Nick gets his badge." Ray had finished as he finally explained how he knew their names. Even though they were not asking
The rest the day they asked me some questions about my old home and life and I asked them some questions back and forth for a while joked around on how some of their brand name things has just the slightest difference such as Pepsi and Petsi and other examples we then watch TV for a few hours. Then I Nick and Judy went upstairs and began to clear out the room of boxes. The walls were painted a nice dark red matching the hardwood flooring, which had a red tent to it. It had a full bathroom with shower, a toilet and sink. The room was big for my new size and I quite like it
Another few hours pass, watching TV discussing how similar our worlds are explaining the disease. I used to have. We then decided to play a board game that is similar to Monopoly, but it was called Zootopoly in my head. It was a terrible pun, but I just rolled with it was now about 10 o'clock at night and I decided to call it. As Nick quickly ran upstairs and got me a pillow and blanket. I let out a yawn. "Catch y'all in the morning," I said while receiving the pillow and blanket i then proceeded to cover my head with a blanket
"We will catch you in the morning," Judy said as she hopped up the stairs to her and Nick's room
Nick was trailing behind her. "Good night" Nick simply said as he to let out a yawn.
