Disclaimer: I don't own Zootopia unfortunately...
The following morning. Everything is peaceful, the sun is rising and-
"WAKE UP YOU MORONS!"
Meh, who am I kidding. What could be peaceful with our dear drill sergeant, Ursula, around?
Li however, did not expect that…
"What the fuck! Are we under attack?! Where's my rifle?!"
"Come on sleepyhead! You don't wanna be late on your first day, do you?"
With that said, Sammy heads to the training grounds, fully clothed and chipper.
"How did he- well no matter now, if I don't hurry up, I'm gonna be late."
After getting dressed, Li heads out to the training ground, there are already about twenty mammals assembled in a circle. They range from a rhino to a pair of foxes. Ursula is already shouting at them
"Good morning you bunch of good-for-nothing brats and welcome to the ZPD training camp! This will be your home for the next six months! Any questions ?! She looks at them expenctantly No? Good. Now, who can give me the different weather zones in Zootopia Sammy's hand shoots up Yes, you in the front, what's your name?"
"Sammy Worthington, sir!"
"And where are you from mister Worthington?"
"The Meadowlands district sir!"
"And what are the other districts in Zootopia?"
"Tundratown, Sahara Square, the Canal District, Little Rodentia, the Rainforest District, the Marshlands, the Nocturnal District and Outback Island sir!"
"That is correct, in order to prepare you for this you are going to be pushed to the very limits of your being and resistance, cause if you fail, guess what? YOU'LL BE DEAD! Come on! You'll be starting with ten laps around the field. NOW!"
Li starts running around the field. He starts with a light jog but sees Daniel zipping past him
"Oh you wanna play like that? Well I can run too!"
And he starts sprinting. Soon enough he catches Daniel and passes him, not noticing the surprised frown on his face.
"Come on, faster! This is nothing!"
And he starts running faster and faster and faster, finishing the ten laps in the blink of an eye. As he comes back to Ursula, barely having broken a sweat, he doesn't notice the look of utter shock on the face of, well everybody.
"Do you need me to do anything else sir?"
Startled, Ursula is caught of guard and momentarily loses her stoic façade
"Hum- Give me fifty push-ups!"
"Sir!"
By the time Li finishes his push-ups, the other have completed their laps and are assembling into a semicircle again
"ATTENTION! We are now going to make a few tests. First there will be hand-to-hand combat. Get in ranks and follow me!"
The recruits get in rank and follow Ursula to one of the buildings surrounding the field. While they're walking, Daniel shuffles to Li
"How did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Outrun me! Even among cheetahs I'm considered fast! So don't play dumb with me and tell me how did you do it?"
Li smiles at him with a sly glint in his eyes
"Training my friend, training…"
"What does that even means?!"
"I'm an ex-marine and I have practised martial arts every day for seven years. This generally helps."
Daniel is about to say something but they have arrived the gym. There are a few rings and mats. In the back, there is a row of punching bags, bench presses and other workout engines. They stand in front of one of the rings.
"Listen to me! You are going to fight against members of our SWAT units that have volunteered to help us! I will call your name and you will get on the ring. There are helmets and gloves at my right! Any questions?"
The recruits respond unanimously
"No sir!"
"Good! You there! You're first!"
A rhino gets on the ring and puts on a helmet and gloves. Against him is a lion. He wears gloves but no helmet. The bell rings and almost instantly the rhino goes to the ground.
"NEXT!" Shouts Ursula
As the list goes on, every mammal gets beaten, some of them hold up a little longer but they all meet their fate. Soon enough, it's Li's turn.
"Good luck Li!" Sammy calls
"Well, here goes nothing…"
He puts on the gloves and the helmet and the bell rings. The lion tries to sucker punch him but Li dodges. The lion tries a few more blows but all of them cut the air.
"Come on Walker! Stop running and attack!"
"How do you want me to fight with these things on my hands! You know what? Fuck this!"
Li jumps on one of the corners and rips off his gloves. As he does that he tries to evade the middle kick sent by his opponent but fails and falls back in the ring. However, his hands are free. Again the lion lunges at him but Li was waiting for him and counters his jab. The hit is hard, but not hard enough to send him to the ground. Li engages a high kick and the lion gets his guard up, bout soon enough he feels a sharp pain on his side: Li feinted him and sent a middle kick. However, he doesn't let his guard down and stand strong.
"He doesn't want to get down, eh? Well, let's see if he can take that!"
Li goes to the other corner of the ring and starts running. When he arrives in the middle of the ring, he jumps and sends a flying kick to the centre of his opponents guard. However, his foot goes past the barrier and lands square on the face. The hit is too much for the lion and he falls to the floor. Li falls back to the ground and looks at Ursula, who, again, is looking utterly shocked.
"Hum, everybody get in ranks, we're going to the medical bay!"
They started walking towards the medical bay but everybody's looks are on Li who walks as if he didn't just beat a member of the SWAT unit.
Soon enough, they arrive at the medical bay and are tended to by doctors.
Li is being seen to by a pretty cheetah.
"I'll please ask you to remove your shirt sir"
"Hum, are you sure?"
"Why, yes. Is there a problem?"
"Well, it's that, he leans towards the doctor what is under is not exactly pretty…"
"Try me."
"As you wish."
He takes off his shirt and stands awkwardly in the middle of the room. However, what shocks the doctor is not the scars covering his chest and abdomen, but the tattoo going from his right pectoral to his right hand.
"Where did you get that? I've never seen one with such detail and… a look of realisation flashes across her face have you ever been to Japan mister Walker?"
"Hum no why- Oh, I see. No, I actually am Chinese and I have lived in china for a few years. There I trained in martial art and this tattoo is part of the ritual if one wishes to become master.. which I did, by the way. But I'm not a Yakuza, if that's what you're worried about"
"Well, it's not often that you come across such a, detailed, piece of art. Now if you'll please cough…"
Half an hour later, everybody got checked out and are headed to the cafeteria. Lunch goes on without a hitch and they find themselves back on a different field.
"Now, we will attack the main course. Surprise, surprise, IT'S THE OBSTACLE COURSE, from now on, your training will basically be training in hand to hand combat and doing this course EVERY, SINGLE, DAY! I certainly hope you've prepared your wills. What are you waiting for? GO, NOW!"
As they start running towards the first obstacle (the ice wall) Sammy goes up to Li's height.
"So, you ready for this?"
Li smiles with an enigmatic glint in his eyes
"We'll see…"
They both jump on the wall and climb it in the blink of an eye. Running towards the next obstacle, laughing at the top of their lungs.
Epilogue:
A hill overlooking the city of Zootopia. A lone figure standing on top. Sinking into the light coming from the bustling city. His quest is coming to an end, he feels it.
Okay, so, hum, sorry for not updating but school has been kind of hectic. Also I had this chapter ready for quite some time and I just kinda forgot to update it, so,you know...
