A.N. Hey everyone, Blue Tagg here with the ninth chapter. This is it, the trade. The money for Fru Fru. Will they give Uma and her crew the money, or do they have a trick up their sleeves? Let's find out.

Please review and tell me what you think of the story so far.


It was nearly afternoon, which means it was nearly time for Judy to hand over the money in exchange for Fru Fru.

Not far from the docks, Judy, Nick, Bogo, Koslov and Malin were going over some things. The officers did what Uma requested, and not wear their uniform. Instead, Judy wore a cream trench coat over a grey T-shirt and black leggings. Nick was wearing his usual green Hawaiian shirt, grey slacks and tie. He was also wearing a brown jacket and his police glasses. Bogo was wearing jeans and a grey dress shirt. Koslov was wearing jeans, black tank-top and black blazer. And Malin was wearing his black suit.

"Alright, let's go over the plan one more time," Malin announced. "You four will go up to Uma's ship, and Judy will swap this for Fru Fru." Koslov pulled out a silver rabbit sized briefcase and gave it to Judy.

"Are you sure she'll hand Fru Fru over the moment we'll give her the case," Bogo asked.

"Whenever Uma and her gang held animals for ransom, she always kept her end of the bargain," Malin told them. "And if Uma doesn't hand her over, our secret weapon will take care of that."

"You sure Inf will handle that?" Nick asked.

"Trust me, Agent 847517 will come through if needed," Malin reassured him. "Anyway, once they hand over Fru Fru, Agent 589342 will grab her and carry her off to where the other ZPD Officers will be waiting with Mr Big."

"But, what if Uma finds out the money we give her is fake," Judy said as she looked at the case.

"That's what we're hoping," Malin admitted. "Once she finds out, she and her crew will attack. That's when me and the other agents will pop out and attack. Are you sure that you guys will handle the crew?"

"We'll have to be, since Uma demands me to be the one to hand over the money to her," Judy pointed out.

"And I refuse to leave her to fight them by herself," Nick pointed out.

"And, this problem is in Zootopia, so the ZPD must help out as well," Bogo included.

"(Sigh) Okay then, everyone got their swords?" Malin asked everyone. Judy, Nick, Bogo and Koslov revealed to have a sword on their belts. Malin then put a finger on his ear. "Everyone in position?... Good." He then turned to the others. "Okay, I'll be hiding not far from the ship. Once they start to attack, that's when me and the other agents come out." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. "Good luck everyone."

Malin went off to his hiding position, leaving the four alone.

"Everyone ready?" Judy asked.

"Ready as we'll ever be," Nick replied, with Bogo and Koslov nodding in agreement.

"Let's do this," Judy said to them.

With the briefcase and swords on hand, they made their way to Uma's ship.


Meanwhile, on Uma's ship, Uma and her crew were waiting for Judy to come and give them the ransom money.

"What's taking them so long?" Harry impatiently asked.

He was holding the block of wood that held her. Except, now the thing that tied her against it was a white rag. It was wrapped around her whole body, leaving only her head and feet exposed. Fru Fru was pretty much scared as Harry held onto her.

"Just give them a few more minutes," Uma said as she and Gil approached them.

"Why did you rip off her dress again?" Gil asked, noticing Fru Fru, which irritated Uma.

"(Groans) Like I keep telling you, we take their clothes as trophies. Where do you think we get the clothes we get today?" Uma reminded him.

"Oh right," Gil said realising.

"Just get to your position," Uma ordered him.

"Will do," Gil responded. He then left to his spot on the ship, leaving Uma, Harry and Fru Fru alone.

"So, what now?" Harry asked his captain.

"Give them a few more minutes," Uma advised him. And if they don't show up…" Uma suggested to the water below.

Harry smirked, and Fru Fru was terrified.

From the top of the ship, the baboon lookout Zachary was looking around. But then, he saw Judy, Nick, Bogo and Koslov approaching, and on time.

"Ooh, ooh! Hey guys, ooh, ooh, they're here!" Zachary informed them, letting them know it was time.


The four approached the ship, with Judy stepping onto the gangplank that connected the dock to the ship. Harry came forward at the end of the gangplank, as he passed the tied up Fru Fru to Gonzo.

"Welcome!" Harry greeted them as the four approached the doc.

"Finally!" Uma said as she approached the end of the Gangplank. "So glad you came."

"I'm here with the money," Judy said as she showed her the briefcase. "Now hand Fru Fru over!"

"But first, let's make something clear," Uma said. "You give us the briefcase, or it's going down."

"If you start singing, I'm gonna puke!" Bogo called out.

"Well thank you for ruining the blooming moment Chief!" Harry replied.

"Enough, just hand her over!" Judy demanded.

"Harry," Uma commanded as she held her paw out.

Harry then grabbed Fru Fru from Gonzo and handed her into Uma's paw. Uma then presented Fru Fru to Judy.

"Are you all right Fru Fru?" Judy asked concerned.

"I'm fine," Fru Fru replied, feeling scared. Judy then noticed she was wrapped up in a white rag.

"Why is she wrapped up in the rag?" Judy asked Uma.

"Well, we simply took her clothes as a trophy. Where do you think we got these?" Uma asked, referring to all the clothes she and her crew are wearing. This made Judy scowl more.

"I have your money. Now hand over Fru Fru!" Judy demanded.

"First, let me savour the moment," Uma said. She then sighed and relaxed for a moment. "Okay, savour time over."

Uma held Fru Fru in front of Judy. Judy then grabbed her, but Uma refused to let go. She then held out her other paw for the briefcase. Judy gave her the briefcase, and Uma let Fru Fru go to Judy.

The crew cheered as Uma returned with the briefcase. She then opened it to see the money.

"(Laughs) Feels so good to finally…" Uma was saying, but she had a good look at the money. She realised the money was fake, which made her pretty angry.

"NO!" Uma angrily said as she threw the case into the water.

Judy ran with Fru Fru with in her paw down to the bottom, with everyone readying their swords.

"You do not get to win every time!" Uma said furiously. She then turned to her crew.

"Get 'em!"


A.N. Well, that plan went south, or did it? That was the ninth chapter, and the fun is just beginning. Next chapter will be the sword fight against the police and the crew. What will happen?

Tune in next time to find out.
