Chapter 11
Nick, Judy, Agent Savage, Chief Bogo, Wolford, Mchorn and Fangmeyer all went to Pride Tower to take down Alpha once and for all. Nick and Judy stepped out of the vehicle together.
"Let's get them partner." Nick said confidently
Judy gave Nick a confident smile back right at him. Mchorn broke down the door and quickly shot his tranq darts at Alpha's cohorts in the building.
"Move in!" Chief Bogo shouted
The officers moved in, Nick noticed that there were multiples lions and hyenas.
"I counted 14 predators!" Jack shouted
"Fifteen!" Judy yelled correcting Jack
The officers were shooting tranq darts at their attackers while the they were using Night Howlers darts.
"Don't get hit by the darts everyone!" Fangmeyer yelled
"Oh Really?!" Wolford asked sarcastically before turning and getting one of the lions.
Nick was able to get a hyena hitting him with a dart.
"Got one!" Nick yelled
"How many is that now?!" Mchorn asked
"Five, we have to hurry Alpha's getting away!" Judy yelled
Suddenly a dart was shot and hit Mchorn in the neck until it bounced off
"What the?!" Mchorn asked
"Mchorn the darts can't go through your hide!" Jack yelled
"You're safe from turning savage my big friend!" Nick yelled
"Well in that case Chief permission to charge at the enemies?" Mchorn asked
"Request granted Mchorn!" Bogo yelled
"RAAA!" Mchorn began charging and the lions and hyenas ran backwards, away from the large prey charging at them.
"Fangmeyer go with Wilde, Hopps and Savage, stop Alpha!" Bogo yelled
"On it sir!" Fangmeyer replied
"Let's go!" Jack said
The four animals went up the stairs like Jack suggested because they could have been stopped or ambushed at the elevator. Suddenly a black panther and two wolves appeared and started shooting at them.
"This is for attacking the precinct!" Judy yelled
Judy went up and jump dodging several darts and hit one of the wolves.
Jack used this to his advantage and jumped very high hitting the panther.
"Two left!" Nick said.
Nick shot one of the wolves but noticed that one of the darts hit Jack in the leg.
"No!" Judy yelled
Fangmeyer reacted quickly and shot the last wolf knocking him out. Jack collapsed on his knees and pulled the dart out of his leg.
"So stupid Jack." Jack told himself
"Jack.." Judy said
"I wanted to give you cover." Jack replied to her
"How long does this take?" Nick asked
"I don't know?" Jack said
"This makes no sense, this worked for Clawhauser instantly unless?" Judy said
"Unless what Judy?" Fangmeyer asked
Judy remembered back at the ZPD, all the cops that were turned savage were predators and the only injured were prey officers. Also Alpha never shot her or Jack with one of the Night Howler darts. Why though?
"Judy we have to go!" Nick yelled
"Right let's go!" Judy said snapping out of it.
Alpha was walking towards the aerial cable car, he left his cohorts behind, and he didn't care. All that mattered to him was the plan.
"Stop Alphate!" Fangmeyer yelled
Alpha turned around quickly and shot his Night Howler gun at Nick, Nick couldn't move but Judy did. She went right in front of Nick taking the dart in the arm.
"Judy!" Nick yelled
"Judy why?!" Jack asked
"Well that's disappointing." Alpha said
"I know the truth Alphate." Judy said with seriousness in her voice
"It's Alpha, and what truth might that be Officer Hopps?" Alpha asked
Judy stood up and removed the dart from her arm.
"That your Night Howlers only work on predators." Judy said
"What?" Nick asked
"I'm impressed, you found me out Hopps." Alpha said
"Why?" Judy asked
"Why would you do this and to your own kind?" Jack asked
"Why, why did I do this?! Alpha yelled pointing the Night Howler gun at Fangmeyer
"Because predators and prey can never live in peace together! When I was young and foolish I thought we could, until I gained this." Alpha said pointing at his scar.
Judy and the others were in complete shock.
"I never wanted to turn prey against predator, I wanted to give predators the strength to do what was necessary, the strength to fight back and take Zootopia for ourselves! Prey are nine times our numbers and many of them are larger than us, but us the predators, have the weapons and the instinct to expunge prey forever! Either we predators go or the prey do because prey will never stop being speciest against us, they will never stop fearing us, hating us! So how am I the bad guy for speaking the truth!" Alpha yelled loudly with total seriousness in his voice.
They all pointed their tranq darts at Alpha but he knew they would. Alpha pulled out a small device, it was the detonator. He held it over the building.
"Shoot me and I drop this and you all will never find the Night Howler bombs spread around the city." Alpha said
They all looked nervously at Alpha, was he telling the truth?
"Tell you what, I'll give you the detonator, it's yours if one of you catches it." Alpha said
Judy couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't.
"All you have to do is catch it." Alpha said throwing the detonator very high up.
"No!" Fangmeyer yelled running towards the detonator.
Alpha smiled and quickly shot Fangmeyer with a Night Howler dart.
It hit her in the neck, she was hit, and she's going to turn.
"No!" Judy yelled.
"Fangmeyer!" Nick yelled
The detonator was falling and landing right back into Alpha's paw.
"So sad you couldn't catch it, well I'll be off then." Alpha said getting in the aerial lift.
Fangmeyer was shaking on the ground, she was turning savage.
"Oh no you don't!" Judy yelled
Judy jumped from the edge and grabbed the aerial lift. She lost her grip on her tranq dart as it fell off her paws.
"Judy!" Nick yelled
"Nick, you need to jump too!" Jack yelled.
Jack had his paws together, Nick knew what that meant, he had no time to think. Fangmeyer was turning savage, Alpha was getting away and Judy was holding on the outside of an aerial lift hundreds of feet in the air with no weapon. Nick ran quickly and put his foot in Jacks paws, Jack used all his strength giving Nick a necessary boost. Nick then grabbed onto the aerial lift but began slipping.
"I got you!" Judy yelled pulling Nick up.
"Thanks Judy." Nick said sounding relieved.
"Wait where's Jack?!" Judy yelled.
There was nothing they could do, they were at least 15 away from the edge of the building and growing farther away. She saw a savage Fangmeyer, pouncing but missing Jack who nervously evaded her. Judy hoped that Jack would be all right. Nick gave out his paw and pulled Judy upwards. Nick and Judy looked in the aerial lift but saw no one. Alpha was on top, suddenly a large grey paw grabbed Nick pulling him up and slamming him onto the top of the aerial lift, Nick cried out in pain.
"Nick!" Judy shouted
Nick's dart gun slit off of him as Alpha used his foot and pushed it off the lift, it began to rain, Alpha then pressed his foot hard on Nick chest. The poor fox couldn't do anything.
"You are one stubborn fox, perhaps the most stubborn pain in the fur fox ever. You escaped my warehouse, help free the officers in precinct one and now this?" Alpha said angrily.
"Well I aim to please." Nick said with his voice mixed with pain.
"Leave him alone!" Judy yelled.
Judy jumped right on top of Alpha. CHOMP. She bit his ear, bit hard.
"Ahh!" Alpha screamed.
He quickly grabbed Judy and threw her far off, Judy quickly grabbed onto the edge before she could fall off. Judy was hanging on but she was slipping because of the heavy rain that was coming. She heard Alpha and Nick fighting.
"You thieving fox, come here, I'll tear your head off!" Alpha yelled.
"But that's the best part of me Wolfie." Nick replied back
Alpha was furious, he took a sharp strike at Nick with his claws but Nick ducked in time and scratched at Alpha's leg hard. Suddenly Alpha foot stepped in a puddle, the metal and rain mixed with Nick knocking his balance off made Alpha slip, slip right off. He screamed as he fell hundreds of feet off of the aerial lift.
"Nick I'm slipping!" Judy cried out.
"Hold on!" Nick yelled.
"Nick ahh!" Judy cried and slipped just before a red paw grabbed her paw.
Nick smiled and pulled Judy up despite his current injury. He pulled her back onto the top. Nick and Judy were both breathing heavily and they landed on their backs next to each other. After a minute of heavy breathing to catch their breathes, Judy finally spoke up.
"Nick the detonator." Judy said
Nick stopped his heavy breathing.
"We lost the detonator, we lost it." Judy said defeated
"Oh you mean this one?" Nick asked pulling out the same small device Alpha had, the detonator.
Nick began laughing.
"Nick you did it! You saved Zootopia!" Judy shouted
"What's this me talk Carrots? We saved Zootopia." Nick said
"You are without a doubt the greatest fox of all time!" Judy said proud of her partner.
"Well I can't argue with that." Nick said smiling
Nick and Judy did it. They saved Zootopia from falling into an all-out war like Alpha wanted.
An hour later
Judy and Nick finally got off of the aerial lift, it turned out that the detonator needed to be much closer to a radio tower on the other side which explained why Alpha didn't detonate it when they thought he had the chance. Chief Bogo radioed officers in the areas just in time to stop the Night Howler bombs from going off, all of them. Judy saw Fangmeyer being loaded onto an ambulance and saw Jack too, he had an arm cast on but looked mostly okay. If Jack had to fight a savage tiger and only received a hurt arm then he must be really something Judy told herself. She saw lots of civilians behind police tap. She also saw Chief Bogo, giving her a well done job smile, she rarely got those from the Chief. It wasn't all her, it was her partner Nick Wilde. Where was he?
Judy looked for Nick and saw him approaching Megan from the civilian crowd and hugged her. Judy was smiling, very happy for her partner and best friend. Nick then began to get on one knee still holding onto Megan's paws. Judy couldn't hear what Nick and his girlfriend were saying but by judging it from their expressions she knew what it was. Judy smiled again knowing at what Nick was doing.
