Mystery cub Chapter 28: I'm not a weapon!
Tundratown hidden base, 2:30AM
Luke was still in the mysterious Hippos office with just himself and the Hippo.
"So, you are probably wondering what my name is, aren't you my friend?" the Hippo said as he sat down behind his desk and moved his monitor.
"You are a mad mammal" Luke said.
"Mad mammal? That's a pretty good guess, actually to be fair, I am a crazy guy, but my name is Henry Hippopotamus, and I am the leader of the HEF, but you will and always will call me by the name Sentinel" Henry said.
"HEF? Let me guess, Human Extermination Forces" Luke said.
"Accurate guess, how did you know?" Henry asked.
"You tend to know a lot of things when you have a human mind, even as a 7 year old wolf, I can talk like an adult" Luke said.
"Ah yes, your dreaded secret that I despise so much" Henry said.
"What do you have against humans? And do you even know what Sentinel means in certain terms?" Luke said.
"It means soldier or guard, what's it to you?" Henry said.
"In human terms, a sentinel is a very skilled and dangerous army trooper who is capable of crushing metal" Luke said.
"Ah yes, you and your human terms, and what do I have against humans you ask? Humans are relics of a past that is a terrible one, they are warmongers who risk our way of life with their beliefs and lifestyle" Henry said.
"Humans have taught the animal kingdom a valuable lesson, that you cannot rely on one thing and if you do, bad things are imminent, not also to mention the fact that humans built Zootopia" Luke said as he protested.
"Humans established a military base here and we evicted them to build a glorious city" Henry said.
"No, humans signed a contract that they would allow animals to build their city on this very peninsula with the help of advanced human technology, the reason Zootopia has climate walls is because of humans" Luke said.
"Shut your mouth you abomination! Humans killed my sister!" Henry shouted as he stood up and slammed on his desk.
Luke fell silent when he did that.
"It was her birthday, and an armoured human ran into her and gave her a heart attack by how fast he ran, she died in my arms, telling me to get vengeance for her, and that is what I am doing by capturing all these humans and imprisoning them with savage predators" Henry said.
"You know predators have an instinctive love for humans, they wouldn't dare attack them" Luke said.
"Oh I know that very well, I just don't like predators either" Henry said.
"You sound like Dawn Bellwether during the Nighthowler crisis" Luke said.
"Maybe it's because I worked for her, and she gave me a task of exiling humans from Zootopia but I failed" Henry said.
"So you're just doing all of this? For revenge?" Luke asked.
"Yes, but I also have another plan, you" Henry said.
Luke didn't say anything.
"Your human mind grants you supernatural abilities most animals would dream of having, telepathy, telekinesis, bending time, controlling the weather, and the list just goes on, and I want those abilities" Henry said.
"Listen you overgrown piece of crap! I am not a weapon!" Luke yelled at the top of his voice.
"I only want to help you, I'm thinking only friend you got in this base" Henry said.
"Youre going lock me away because of what I am aren't you?" Luke asked.
"You're dangerous, you need help" Henry said.
"No I do not!" Luke yelled.
"Listen you monster! You have no idea what you are capable of, I do!" Henry yelled.
"That does not give you the right to take my powers from me!" Luke yelled.
"Do you even know what you are saying? And just so you know, when your powers are extracted from your tiny little corpse, you will die" Henry said.
That made Luke's blood freeze solid.
"Take him away!" Henry yelled.
The door opened behind Luke and a Rhino dressed in a prison guard outfit came in and grabbed Luke by his collar and grabbed him by his collar.
"Make any attempts to escape, and I'll break your neck" the Rhino said as he left the office with Luke in his hooves.
He was holding on very tightly which made Luke cry a little.
Eventually walking through some more prison cells, Luke was thrown into prison cell 98.
The Rhino opened the door and the him inside like a ragdoll.
Luke cried a little since he couldn't stand up.
The prison cell was a small box room with mattresses on the wall and the door was made of steel, no getting out easily.
But as he sniffled, he heard someone else in the cell with him.
His night vision kicked in, and he could barely make out another figure sleeping in the corner.
It was another wolf, but something seemed off with him.
He was shirtless, his fur was as white as the whitest snow, he was wearing black pants, some of his fangs looked to be sticking out of his lips which looked to be soaked in blood.
He looked around the same height as James, but he looked fitter and more dangerous.
He was gently snoring, Luke decided not to wake him up as he looked rather pissed and he seemed more peaceful when he was asleep.
But as Luke crawled over to the other side of the cell, the other wolf woke up.
His eyes were purple, but the whites of his eyes were black...
