Chapter 4: Raids on Wilde Times
A/N: Time really have serious consequence in the future, especially when you alter the past. Every action that you take is a probability of what happens in the future. So…
"Change the past, change the future."
"Yep, he's okay," A female badger, in white coat covering her yellow with black stripe t-shirt and paramilitary style dark green cargo pants, an unusual attire for a doctor, checking the red fox. "Beside of some memory loss by his statement, and also he keeps mentioning over some bunny name Judy Hopps. Seriously, you need to keep an eye on this fox; I have a hard time explaining him that Judy Hopps was dead."
"YOU LIAR! YOU ALL ARE A BUNCH OF MOTHERF***ING LIARS! SHE CAN'T BE DEAD!" Nick yelled at the top of his lung, deafening Finnick's hearing. He was cuffed to the medical table. How the badger gets that cuff is none of your business. His collar was beeping red, yet not releasing any electric shock due to low battery.
"Honey," Finnick asked (yelling) the badger, Honey. "Can you sedate him!? If he keeps going like this the whole Zootopia will hear him yelling!" The collar around Finnick starts to flash yellow. Not saying another word, Honey picks up a shot of general anesthetic, and stick it to Nick's hip, causing him to yelp. He curses quite a bit, before drifting off to sleep due to the effects of the meds Honey just injected.
"There, problem solved. Need anything else?" Honey asked.
"No."

-Time: 7.00 p.m. Location: Wilde Times-
Renko, with something attached to his left wrist, something between a cross of metal gloves and a watch, (better search the images yourself in video game section) he was standing in front of Wilde Times, technically. He had a briefcase, similar to the one he used in Bunnyburrows. He was actually standing in front of Nick's medical clinic called 'Speedy Care Walk-In Clinic', and it was a good thing he was faster than him by catching Nick Wilde before he could teleport back in time. It's an irony that the 'speedy' care that Nick provides lasts more than two hours, Renko thought. He has a collar, similar to T.A.M.E collar, but a replica that doesn't deliver high electric shock like the real ones do. For him, it just an electric static.
Wasting no time, he walks towards Nick's clinic. As he approaches Nick's clinic, he has a hunch at his back. Immediately, he quickly turns to his back. There is a large SUV parked near a coffee shop, an unusual place to set up a coffee shop in the docks, just like Nick's clinic. The parking stance of the SUV was parked is highly unusual as the front tires was swing to the left towards the road. A rhino and an elephant were having a cup of coffee, a rare sight in a place where predators are a majority in the area. They both were looking at the clinic. Renko has a sense that something will go down.
Taking a deep breath, Renko puts his feeling aside, and proceeds towards the clinic. Once he stood in front of the clinic wooden door, it creaks when he opens it. To his surprise, the clinic was half full with 'patients'. All are predators. Acting natural, he sat beside a 'patient' who is a lion kid, playing with his parent's phone. Beside the pup is a male lion, probably the kid's dad. The dark shade of the mane of the lion reminds Renko of someone.
"Uh… Mayor Lionheart?" Renko asked the lion. He just does a random guess, which is the accurate guess. The lion shocked as the tiger knew his name.
"Sorry son, no more 'mayor' in Lionheart, just Leonardo Lionheart." Lionheart said sad hearted.
"Some sheep forced you to sign that bloody law, isn't it?" Renko say faking the accent. Lionheart immediately sigh.
"Dawn Bellwether. Yeah, she really is forceful in signing that law. So, you here to get that collar off? Seems like you haven't removed it for a long time." Lionheart changes the subject of the conversation. Renko knew he doesn't want to continue the past.
"Uh, actually no. Technically yes, but I'm here to…" Renko puts his suitcase on his lap, and pats the suitcase. "Banking business."
"Oh…"
Renko immediately stand up and walks towards the reception. A fat cheetah was listening to some rap song. He knocks at the reception desk. No response. He waves at the cheetah, still no response. At last, Renko snatch the cheetah's headphone, which made the cheetah looks up to Renko.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were…" Renko puts his paws up, silencing the cheetah. Then he puts his suitcase on the desk. "Banking business, I would like to see Mr. Wilde to discuss the investment for his... indoor theme park."
"Well, I'm sorry, but you have to…" Before he could finish the words, Renko pull out a gun and pointing it at the cheetah. Good thing it was hidden from sights of other mammals by the suitcase Renko has put it on the reception desk, or else the innocent predator lives are at risk as T.M.D uses 'No Witnesses' policy in doing their work.
"Banking business or it will become murder business. It's your choice, Benjamin Clawhauser."
Ben slowly reaches the phone, and dials the code mainly used in the office. A female voice boom over the phone's speaker.
"What is it Clawhauser?"
"Honey, there is someone wants to see Nick Wilde. And please be hurry, he's got a gun." He whispers the last sentence.
"Now!? Nick still asleep by the shots I've given."
"Now or never Honey, now or never." Renko suddenly snatch the phone from Clawhauser's grip. "Or there isn't Mr. Nice Tiger here. Not even the collar on my neck will save you." Renko then heard laughter filling the clinic, as the laughter phone's was way too loud, it crackles.
"What's so funny when the one attached to my neck isn't the real one?" The laughter stops by itself. "And remember, I use 'No Witnesses' policy when I'm doing my work." That words reduce the tiger's smile a bit; Renko really hates the 'No Witnesses' policy his department uses to eliminate prey and predators life alike if they witnesses an event that were supposed to be hidden. Moments later, a female badger in her unusual attire for a doctor appeared behind the reception desk.
"Come in from the back, or other way round." She gesture to the door next to Renko. He comes in through the door the badger just gesture after he put his gun back to its hostler. But what waits for Renko was the same badger, holding up a sawn off double barrel shotgun, aiming straight to Renko's face.
"You think you the only one with guns?" The badger says with full spirit, smiling wide. Renko just smiled.
"Does it fully load?" That question made Honey chuckled.
"Are you kidding me? It was- Wait a minute..." She startle when she checks the barrel only to find out there is no...
"Looking for this?" Renko flashes the shotgun bullets. Honey just stares at it in disgust.
"How do you-"Renko puts his paws up, still holding the bullets. "This..." He shows his left wrist which has TMD attached. "This thing helps me slow things down, like time. Its puts thing new and old alike. What a nice masterpiece." He smiled at his TMD. "Now back to point; where is Nick Wilde?"
Honey chuckles. "He's back there, still asleep. Why?"
"None of your business; just needed him."
Honey shows Renko where Nick Wilde is. He still asleep on the medical table snores if you can hear his soft snore. Honey passed the key cuff to Renko, and he immediately unlocks it. He place Nick Wilde over his shoulder. For a fox, he was quite light as cotton. As he ready to travel back to the time department, a time wave passes by. Renko didn't notice it as it was too fast for him to notice it. When he pushes the button on the suitcase, it won't teleport him to the time department, nor towards the future or past. He presses to multiple times. No changes.
"Tiger boy, got something wrong with your tech?" Renko checks the suitcase. The label was distorted, showing 'D3C0M15510N3D'. Decommissioned. Seconds later, his smartphone vibrates, alerting him for incoming notification, and it was a bad one. He whips out his phone; the notification says 'Police raids in 1 mins max.' A moment later, the police scanner near Honey was standing came up to live.
"Dispatch to all officers near the vicinity of Wilde Times, Operation No Wilde Times is a go."
"10-4"
"10-4"
"10-4, Blackhawk 1 and 2 is incoming. ETA to target: 2 mikes. "
"10-4, Tanker 1 is ready."
"Tanker 2 is ready, 10-4."
That is not good.
"Oh shit, the cops are going to raids the place." Honey started to panic. From afar, the whirring of two helicopters is heard, louder and louder as it gets closer.
"Dispatch, we have visual in sight. Commence launching the falcon. Operation is in full effect."
Oh God, the cops really have no mercy on predators' life.
"What Falcon!? What is it says, Renko?" Honey is really in panic mode. Renko know it wasn't an ordinary thing.
"You got a ride out!?"
"Yes! Finnick's van, I don't know if you could fit in it."
"I'm just six foot tall. What is he, a fox!?"
"Yes, he's a fennec fox."
Oh, just great.
"Okay, fine! Now get a cover-"
KABOOM
The damage delivered by the rocket launched from the helicopters knock out one of the supporting beam that supports the clinic and parking lot above the Wilde Times. The clinic started to lean. The moaning and groaning sound made by the other supporting beam as the clinic leans more really made any mammal's fur standing. Seconds later, Finnick and Benjamin appears behind Honey. Nick apparently wakes up thanks to the loud sound the rocket produced.
"What is that explosion about!?" Finnick yelled at Renko. Benjamin has confusion all over his face.
"If you all want to survive, follow my instruction clearly. Now, you got a van, right Finn?" Finnick just nodded.
"Good, if your ride wasn't crushed by an APV yet."
"APV?" Benjamin asked.
"Armored Personal Vehicle; has functions like a tank such as rocket launcher, armed with 25mm bullet in the turret. A very lethal vehicle used by the forces." That description really made Finnick furious. Later that moment, multiple shot were fired. It pierces the clinic wall easily.
"Great, can you all swim!?" Renko shouted. "Because I'm afraid your van is most probably destroyed as well."
"You got to be kidding me…" Finnick replied.
They all came out of the clinic through the back door, where Finnick's van is parked. To Finnick's dismay, his van was a goner. His van was rolling down to the docks below at that time, and exploded as it crashed into the ground. The only way was to swim across the canal of the docks as the sky and land was filled with helicopters and APV as well. On the docks level, a lot of police forces storm into Wilde Times, and fired rubber bullets and tranquilizer at innocent predators. Renko, Finnick, Honey, Benjamin and Nick runs across the roof of Wilde Times. Then, the second support beam gave up as it can't hold the weight long enough. The whole clinic came down crashing a quarter of Wilde Times. Everything is in chaos. They all keep running towards the edge of the roof of Wilde Times. Renko jumps first into the water below, followed by Finnick, Honey, Benjamin (with a big splash, which coincidently the cops didn't noticed) and Nick.
Once they all arrived at the other side of the shores, lots of mammals, all are predator and omnivores, were leaning helping hands on all five mammals that escaped the raids on Wilde Times. It was an old neighborhood, mostly are workers of labor works and low paying jobs at the docks.
The discrimination of preys towards predator was bad enough without fanning the fire of specism during the darkest hour of Zootopia, let alone being disturbed by a particular sheep. From the other side, the five mammals and the entire neighborhood was watching the Wilde Times being raided badly by an all prey cops. Smoke pillowing from the crash. The events that big can't escape the eyes of countless witnesses and cameras of media, but will it come out in the news tomorrow? What hopes does all predator and omnivores have? Will the minority voices of Zootopia will be heard by mammals of all species, especially towards the prey that their action had gone too far?
Very bad, wasn't it? I told you I'm good at writing dark theme fanfic, which is something to be blamed on my psychotic traits in me. Oh and here the hierarchy of Zootopia: Herbivores as first class citizen, omnivores as second class citizen and carnivores as third class citizen, omnivores and carnivores are collared. Hard to believe when Judy was killed in the first place, isn't it? I need your reviews as I'm feeding this fanfic from your reviews for some improvement. PM me if you have good recommendation on the plot of this fanfic. AeroQC, you have one job; help me advertise this fanfic. Hehe…
