Chapter 10: I Remember You
Judy slowly reawakened, she was still upside-down in her seat, she looked behind her and saw that Dr. Julius was gone. She grunted and moved her paws to her seatbelt, she unhooked herself and fell to the roof of the car with a thud. She rolled onto her stomach and began to hear shouting outside the car.
"K-KILL HIM!" shouted Dr. Julius stepping back.
"What? Our job was to bring him in alive." replied the raccoon.
"No! H-he's talking! He shouldn't be able to talk! Much less remember my name!" Dr. Julius said with fear still walking backwards.
"You do your job we'll do ours" the raccoon said as he rolled his eyes. He whistled to the truck and the wolf and sheep hopped out with a large gun, with electricity coming off the barrel, and metal rod with a collar at the end. "Do it" ordered the raccoon, and the wolf fired his gun at Nick. The gun sent some sort of device at Nick which began to shock him. The electricity forced Nick to his knees, and then he began to whimper. The sheep and the wolf began to walk towards Nick to collect their prize.
"See? Nothing to worry about" smiled the raccoon towards Dr. Julius, who was behind them. The raccoon then turned to the car and say Judy crawling out of the wreckage. "Well, well, well. What have we here?" The raccoon walked over to Judy still on the ground. "Hey! it's the bunny cop from that warehouse thing!" Judy looked up and glared at him. "Awwww, don't be like that! We found your boyfriend! he's right over there" the raccoon pointed towards the sheep and wolf.
Judy looked over and saw Nick on his knees, shaking, and whimpering. "Nick?" she barely managed out, she was suddenly grabbed and brought up to eye level with the raccoon.
"Maybe i'll let you say goodbye this time?" smiled the raccoon. Judy was still hurt from the crash and she didn't have the strength to resist.
"Hey Vic, something's wrong" said the bear behind the raccoon.
"What?" asked the raccoon as he threw Judy back to the ground. The raccoon turned to look at the wolf and sheep who weren't moving. "Hey! what's taking so long?" he shouted, but there was no response.
Suddenly the wolf and sheep were lifted up in the air, slowly they split apart to reveal Nick staring at Dr. Julius. "Dr….Julius" he said throwing the bodies in his hands to the sides.
"K-KILL HIM DAMNIT" Dr. Julius shouted. Nick roared at the mammals in front of him and charged at them.
"Shit! Kill him Hector!" commanded the raccoon and the bear grabbed the gun on his belt and began to fire at Nick. The bullets penetrated Nick's skin, a few entered his torso and one hit his shoulder, but Nick was in a total blood rage, he kept running at the bear with no regard to the pain he felt from each bullet.
"FUCK!" The bear took a swing at Nick, but Nick dodged the swing and stabbed the bear in the side with his claws. "AAARRGHHH! YOU FUCKER!" shouted the bear as he took another swing, this time it connected, sending Nick flying a few feet. Nick instantly recovered and roared at the bear. The bear tried to shoot Nick but was out of bullets FUCK was the last thoughts the bear had before Nick began to rip the bear to shreds. Nick remembered the bear, he remembered what he did to him, and he enjoyed killing him.
"HECTOR! YOU FUCKING SHIT" the raccoon opened fire on Nick, who ducked behind the body of the bear. When the raccoon stop firing to reload Nick jumped out of cover and ran for him, claws outstretched. "Shit! Doc help me!" shouted the raccoon, but Dr. Julius was running for the truck. "YOU FUCK! GET BACK HERE AND HELP M-" The raccoon was cut of as Nick charged onto him, he began to rip the raccoon into pieces. Nick remembered the raccoon as well, and as he began to remove the insides of the raccoon, he began to smile.
Judy watched in horror as Nick tore the raccoon apart, when she saw organs fly to her she wanted to vomit. She was frozen with fear again, she couldn't talk only watch Nick finish with the raccoon and look at Dr. Julius who was trying to open the door to the truck.
"Dr….Julius" Dr. Julius turned and saw Nick, with a few bullet wounds and claws dripping with blood, "I….remember you" Nick said pointing his claw at Dr. Julius. "I remember…what you did to me" Nick got closer, his eye transfixed on the shivering doctor.
"I-I made you better! I-I improved you!" Dr. Julius was shaking with fear, walking backward. "I made you!"
"You…hurt me." Nick kept walking closer. "Now… I'll hurt you" Nick rushed the doctor. Dr. Julius tried to run but Nick sliced his leg and the hyena fell to the ground.
"AAAARRGHH!" screamed Dr. Julius.
Nick stood over the wounded hyena. "You…started with my left arm" Nick positioned his claws over Dr. Julius' left arm, Dr. Julius was shaking in fear. "I'll start there too" smiled Nick and he sliced Dr. Julius' left arm off.
"GAAAAAAHHH!" Dr. Julius clutched his left arm, tears began to roll down his face from the pain.
"hehehe…hahahaha" Nick began to laugh at the hyena's screams of pain, he was enjoying watching his tormentor suffer, as he had suffered. Nick stepped on Dr. Julius' body with his metal foot, and applied pressure to his chest.
"AAARRRRGHH!" Dr. Julius felt some of his ribs crack from the pressure of Nick's crushing foot. Nick was smiling, his eye was filled with sadistic joy.
Nick lifted his his left claw. "Next the other arm" he smiled.
"Nick?" a voice behind Nick said. Nick turned and saw Judy standing there, still shaking but looking at Nick.
Nick froze, he didn't know what to do. "J…Judy?" Nick's rage suddenly disappeared when he saw the rabbit.
"Nick? You remember me?" Judy said with tears in her eyes.
Nick got off of Dr. Julius and turned to Judy, he was still covered in blood. He brought his claw up to touch Judy. Judy saw the claw and gasped and took a few steps back. Nick stopped moving his claw and looked at his paw, it was dripping with blood, he looked back at Judy and clearly saw the fear in her eyes. Nick brought his claw back, his ears fell flat, and then it began to sink in, he was a monster, he was no longer the same Nick Wilde he was before, his friends would no longer accept him, his family would no longer see him as the same fox, the one he cared for was afraid of him. Tears began to fill Nick's eyes, he wouldn't have anywhere to go.
Judy fought her fear and tried to talk to Nick. "N-Nick? Come home, we can help you."
Nick took steps back. "W-what…home? Who…would take me?" Nick asked as tears flowed down his face.
"Nick, we can take you to a hospital" Judy noticed Nick's sadness and tried to comfort him. "Nick stop this, please, he's already down"
"No." Nick tried to avoid his sadness and turned to his anger. "He…took everything. My body…my life…my…family. He will…pay"
"Nick! wait!" Judy asked but Nick turned around but Dr. Julius was not there. Suddenly the truck started.
"No." Nick said with his eye wide and he rushed around the other side of the truck and saw Dr. Julius in the driver's seat. "NO!" Nick shouted as he stabbed his claws into the door. But the truck began to speed off, Nick dragged with it for a few feet but tumbled off of it. "NOOOOOOOO!" Nick screamed in anger as he watched the truck get away. Anger, rage, and pain consumed Nick, he let the mammal who tortured him get away. "AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!" Nick screamed as he felt to his knees and clutched his head.
"Nick! Calm Down!" Judy yelled running to Nick. Nick kept screaming in frustration at how he let his prey get away.
Jack finally managed to crawl out of the wreckage and saw Judy with Nick. His eyes went wide at the state Nick was in, he didn't expect the fox to be so horribly changed. "Officer Wilde?" Nick turned his eye towards Jack, which made him freeze in fear at how much fury was in Nick's eye.
"Nick! He's here to help!" explained Judy.
"SHUUUUT UUUUP!" shouted Nick hitting Judy away. "HE GOT AWAY! HE GOT AWAY! AAAARRRGGGHHH!" Nick screamed at the top of his lungs getting to his feet. Nick put his head in his claws, Wait he thought, he turned behind him and saw Dr. Julius' arm still on the ground. He rushed over and smelled the blood beneath it. He put his nose to the air and he could smell the blood in the air. Nick's sadistic smile returned to him, "I can smell him, I CAN FIND HIM!" shouted the fox with a horrible smile.
"Nick stop! Please!" pleaded Judy. Nick ignored her and ran at high speed down the street. "NICK!" Judy tried to run after him but was still too tired from the crash and fell to the ground.
"Judy!" Jack ran to Judy's side "You can't run after him, he's too fast and you're too hurt"
"But Nick!"
"Dr. Julius is wounded and afraid, his creation is trying to kill him, he's going to run to the one place he thinks he'll be safe."
"Where?"
"Mr. M's mansion." Jack got Judy up to her feet. "We need to call reinforcements, Mr. M's mansion is about to become a bloodbath"
Judy stared down the street, "Nick"
