AN:
To the Guest whose been reviewing for the past 3 chapters (think by the way!): Agents of SHIELD will have references, but not a spin-off.
Down in the bowels of the Helicarrier, Violet Dauber arrived to find Ironheart confronting SHIELD agents being controlled by Loki, whom were using some of the high-tech weaponry from the armory.
"Hey, fox lady!" Lionheart said, blasting an agent back, "while I'm sure you're still sad about your boyfriend, help me out stopping that cat guy!"
"You don't need to tell me twice," Sky said. The artic fox grew to normal size and faced the controlled agents, using her lithe frame and CQC training to take down and incapacitate her opponents non-lethally. She threw a pigeon to the ground, tripped a tortoise onto his back and kicked him into some other agents, and grew in size to punch out a rhino in one hit. She was about to hit a raccoon in the face, but the agent threw his hands in from of himself quickly.
"Hold it there, lady!" said the raccoon, "look in my eyes, I'm not being mind-controlled."
Skye paused and looked at his eyes, which were brown and not the bright blue of the other agents.
"What are you doing down here?" the vixen said. "Director Fury called all of the agents up top to let us heroes deal with Loki."
"Not an agent," the raccoon said. He pulled out a familiar cane and took down some of the agents. Removing his disguise, the raccoon put on a hat and revealed himself to be Sly Cooper! "Sly Cooper, world famous thief. I snuck myself onto the ship to make sure the Clockwerk parts are destroyed."
"Then we better make sure that happens," Lionheart said. The three of them teamed up and broke into the Helicarrier vault, were Loki was standing with Agent Gary and Carmelita.
"A transport is being prepared, master," Gary said.
"Excellent. Get this on the lift so we can get Clockwerk online in a more secure location," Loki said, watching as the crew put the Clockwerk parts onto a lift.
"Stop right there Loki!" Lionheart said, pointing a repulsor at the cat.
"Oh look, company has arrived," the God of Mischief said, "Carmelita, be a dear and stall this heroes for me."
Giving a nod, the INTERPOL inspector ran at the heroes, Sly jumping in front of her and tackling her to the ground.
"Carm, snap out of it! This isn't you!" said Sly, restraining his lover as she kicked up at his chest forced them to fight.
"Hold her back, Sly! We'll stop Loki!" Skye said.
However, the Helicarrier gave a violent lurch as the sirens went off again.
"What's happening?" Lionheart shouted.
"One of the engines has been shot down!" Agent Swinton said over the coms. "Green Lantern and Spider-Woman are on the repair job."
Meanwhile
Judy and Clawhauser were on the outside of the shot-down engine, trying to assess the damage.
"The propeller seems fine," Judy shouted over the wind, "but Loki's minions have turned off the engine. I'll get down there to turn it on, while you get that propeller spinning again!"
"Got it!" Clawhauser said. Using his powers, Green Lantern made a giant hand construct to push the propeller.
Judy crawled down to the catwalk, finding some SHIELD agents guarding the power box. Jumping onto one, Spider-Woman fired a web at the other and pulled him towards her, making the agents collide and fall unconscious. Another agent pulled out a gun and fired at Judy, whom dodged the shot. However, the bullet hit the control box, frying the control.
"Darn it!" Judy said, firing a web shot at the agent and knocking his gun away. Delivering a punch to his face, the bunny called up to Clawhauser. "Ben, the controls are fried, I'll have to pull the manual override switch. Be ready to pull me out!"
"Got it, Judy!" Green Lantern said, the engine spinning at half its maximum speed.
Crawling over to the switch, Judy got in position to pull the oversized lever. "Alright, here I go. You can do this, you can do this," Judy said to herself, steadying her body. "Three, two… one… NOW!" With all of her strength, the bunny pulled the switch and was promptly pulled out of the turbine by a green hand construct. Dropping onto the deck, Judy gasped as Clawhauser landed next to her, his ring powering down from being used so constantly.
"That's the most I've used my powers since training day on Oa," Clawhauser said, panting for breath.
Back inside the Helicarrier, Bellwether listened over the radio as the events unfolded.
"The engine is back up, but Loki is still at large," Fury said over the intercoms, "make sure the deck is secured."
"I want to go out there and help," Bellwether said. Agents Fitz and Simmons looked at the sheep in surprise.
"Are you sure?" Simmons said.
"Yes. Judy is out there risking her life to help others, and I'm just standing in this room like a child!" Bellwether said. "If I'm going to be stuck with this curse, I might as well try to help others with it as well."
"Alright, we won't stop you then," Fitz said, after he and Simmons had a short debate.
The sheep smiled, but her leave was interrupted by a bouncing hare and a portly fox burst into the room.
"get back here, you varmint!" Gideon said, pursuing the hare.
"Oh no-no, fatty fox," said the hare in a ridiculous French accent, "Batroc the Leaper stops for no-mammal!"
The hare continued to bounce around, the three other animals in the room ducking for cover as Batroc kicked many of the items in the room at Agent Grey. At one point, a vile of black goo smashed onto the fox, Gideon becoming covered in the stuff.
"No, the Symbiote!" Fitz said. The corgi watched in horror as Gideon was taken over by the alien, a black suit forming. Immediately, the now-Symbiote covered fox shot a web at Batroc, wrapping up the jumping jackrabbit and stopping his rampage on the lab.
"Oh! Foiled by a web-slinger again!" whined the hare as everyone else looked at Gideon in shock.
"Should I be freaked out right now?" the fox said, " 'cause I feel perfectly fine right about now."
The scientists shook off their surprise and turned to Bellwether. "Dawn, go help the others," said Simmons, "Fitz and I will make sure Agent Grey here is fine."
Nodding, Bellwether walked out of the lab and steadied herself. "Alright Dawn, you can do this. Thick about all those that hurt you, everyone that's wronged you, those that never believed in you."
And with a growth and burst of clothes, Apex emerged, wearing a tight gymnastics-like one-piece suit in grey and blue, and ran down the hall takin out any rouge agents I her path.
Up on deck, Loki was escorting the Clockwerk parts to the waiting Quinjet to get off of the Helicarrier.
"Hey, cat guy!" came a voice. The God of Mischief turned to see Sly, backed up my a now not mind controlled Carmelita, whom was aiming her shock pistol at the cat.
"How did you break my sway on her?" Loki asked.
"You would not believe the power of a lover's quarrel," said Sly, "and a good cane to the head."
"Move it, ringtail. I want to make this puss pay for messing with my mind," the inspector said. Carmelita fired a few rounds at Loki, whom ducked into the jet as it started to take off. The fox continued to fire even as the jet took off from the Helicarrier. "Damn it," Carmelita said.
Spider-Woman and Clawhauser came over to the duo. "Carmelita, nice to see you again!" Judy said, shaking the vixen's hand, "and you must be Sly."
"Nice to meet you," the raccoon said.
"Heroes, report to the bridge. We've got a lot to talk about," said Fury over the intercoms.
Everyone gathered at the bridge, where Director Fury, Agent Swinton and- wait, is that Jack Savage!?
"Jack!" Skye exclaimed, running up to her love. The bunny opened up his arms to her, only to get a prompt smack to the face. "That's for dying on me," the artic fox said. Skye then quickly pulled Jack in for a passionate kiss, "And that's for coming back."
"Agent 53 was not actually in the room with Loki," Fury said, "THAT Jack Savage was a LMD, or Life Model Decoy. Looks real, acts real, with only difference being that it's a robot."
"Heimdall predicted that Loki might try to kill me, so we put an LMD in my place," the bunny spy said.
"Now the reunion is over, let's get down to business," Swinton said. The pig turned on a hologram to show the group some files. "Loki thinks he's gotten away, but Spider-Woman had the foresight to throw a tracker on the Quinjet before he got too far away, so we know he's heading for Zootopia."
We also have contact with Heimdall, who is already in pursuit of the jet. Its current status has it heading for Lionheart Tower."
"That's MY building!" Lionheart said, pounding his fist on the table.
"Well, if you want to stop that crazed cat from bringing back one of the most dangerous villains in recorded history, then all of you need to act fast," Fury said. "All of you have shown heroism on this Helicarrier today, but now you need to come together as team; not as solo heroes or in pairs, but as one cohesive unit."
There was a pause in the air, until Judy stood up and put her hand in the middle. "For Zootopia," she said.
"For SHIELD," Jack said.
"For our friends," said Clawhauser.
"For our families," said Skye, looking at Jack.
"For our livelihood!" Lionheart said. "And the city as well," he added quickly as everyone gave him a look.
"For making the world a better place," Bellwether said.
"Dawn? Didn't see you there," Lionheart said, "You don't have any powers though."
"I have a 'big' friend who can help us out," the sheep said with the hint of a sly grin.
Judy smiled, looking around at each of her team members. "alright then, we're in this together."
As the team left to go save the world, Nick called Sly and Carmelita back. "Hold up you two. I need ask you two about a proposition I have."
Author's Note
Alright, time for the team to gather at the Final Battle to happen!
LMD is a real thing in Marvel, used mostly by Nick Fury to talk to other people. I wasn't going to kill off Jack, as he's one of the founding members of this team. Plus, I couldn't leave Skye suffering for too long.
Batroc has already appeared in the ZHU, but not in this story. If you want to know about his first appearance, go read "ZHU: Zero to Hero" akazianka1038. It's a good look at what it's like becoming a hero and they've become a close friend here on FanFiction.
Also, who Gideon is supposed to be should be REALLY obvious to anyone whose read Spider-Man or Guardians of the Galaxy comics in the past 10 years.
Next Time: Z-Force finally assembles to face Loki!
