Chapter 34 - Innocence lost
Kiara could feel the warmth of the sun against her fur and the smell of freshly cut grass filling her nostrils as she focused on her surroundings. She was in a back garden of a house, she looked at the suburban home and felt a sense of safety she could not explain. The lioness walked across the grass towards the back door of the house and began to hear multiple voices chatting, all of them sounding happy and positive, but when she saw the reflection in the glass pane of the door, she didn't recognise the figure staring back at her, this lioness was a cub around the age of nine, wearing a pair of denim shorts and a white t shirt with a gold star on it and her fur was a goldish brown colour instead of stark whiteWho are you? Kiara asked herself mentally.
"Did you find him yet, Kiara?" A young voice asked, Kiara spun around to see a vixen kit no older than eight, dressed in flowery summer dress with a brown mouse a similar age standing on her shoulder.
"Nope, how about you two?" Kiara asked back Wait I didn't mean to say that, why can't I control what I say? And who's Kiara?
"Team Olivia and Luna have failed." Olivia sighed, steadying herself by placing her paw on Luna's cheek. Olivia is the mouse…how do I know that?
"I don't suppose those two have seen him, have they?" Kiara joked, pointing at two toddlers playing in the sandbox, one looked like a ginger furred rabbit but her tail was long and fluffy and the other looked like a striped arctic fox.
"I dunno', let's ask them." Luna played along "Robbie, Hannah, have you seen Kion?"Kion? Kion, that's the name…ugh, why can't I remember?
The ginger furred toddler just blew a raspberry while the striped vixen just held up the toy truck in her paw and happily said "Twuck!"
"How insightful." Olivia responded with a giggle.
"Fine," Kiara mumbled before saying loudly "Ok Kion, we give up, you win; come on out."
"Victory!" A gleeful voice cheered from above, the three friends looked above them to find a male lion cub around five years old sitting on a branch, high up a tree. Kion, that's Kion…I think I know him?
"Hey climbing up a tree is cheating!" Luna protested in a stroppy voice.
"I hid and you seeked, you just didn't look up." Kion replied with a cheeky smile.
"Kion, get down from there, you know Mom and Dad get mad when we climb the trees." Kiara advised, sounding responsible despite her very youthful voice.Why do I feel dread, like something bad is going to happen?
"Fine." Kion pouted before shuffling across the branch and to the truck of the tree but as he did so his paw slipped and lost his balance and in one with motion he dangling upside down from the branch, holding on for dear life by the claws of his hands and feet, the cub let out a frightened cry and the three friends below reacted with horror as well.
"KION!" Kiara yelled, He's going to fall, stop standing there you idiot, go help him!
"Mr and Mrs. Priderock! Mom, Dad!" Luna hollered, racing into the house.
"Kion, hold on!" Kiara shouted, racing to the tree and jumping at with her claws extended and began climbing up the trunk. Come on, hurry up!
"I'm slipping!" Kion panicked.
"I'm almost there!" Kiara panted, climbing up the tree as fast as she could.
But then it happened, the sound of claws scrapping against bark, the terrified cry coming from Kion's mouth, Kiara watched as the lion cub fell from the branch and began hurtling towards the ground opened her mouth and screamed…

"Kion!" Kiara roared, sitting up in her make shift bed in the bowels of The Drowned base. Kiara or 'Lilly' as she was known as by her Drowned brethren looked around her room in a fit of panic, her heart hammering in her chest and her huge white paws trembling "I didn't catch him…" she panted, feeling a lump in her throat and her eyes getting watery.
There was curtained patrician where a door should've been at the other end of the room, suddenly an out of breath Fuli tore through it and wheezed "Lilly…Lilly are you ok?" the cult leader looked like she had just shot out of her bed, wearing a vest and shorts and not her usual robe.
"I didn't catch him." Kiara said with a quivering lip.
"Catch who?" Fuli asked, gliding over and putting her small paw on Kiara's giant one.
"The cub…I can't remember." Kiara struggled, tears soaking the white fur of the titan's cheeks.
"Oh my sweet Lilly, did you have a nightmare?"Fuli asked softly, like a parent to a child.
Kiara nodded before wiping away her tears and saying "I don't why I felt so scared."
"Lilly, it was just a nightmare. You don't have to feel scared when you're with your brothers and sisters, The Drowned are here for their champion." Fuli soothed. "And you'll be there for them tonight."
"Are you going to punish the bad mammals?" Kiara asked, sounding hopeful.
"Yes, my Champion and you're going to help me." Fuli smiled softly, masking the twisted thoughts that dominated her mind.

Aleks was first to wake up. It was still before dawn, as he opened his eyes. He gazed around his quarters, provided by Ray, and was met with the sight of Zoe's naked body slumbering on his triggering a rush of pleasurable memories from the night before. His and Zoe's clothes were scattered all around the bed and Aleks could clearly see the claw marks on Zoe's vest; evidence of his lust for the flying and how sexually frustrated he had been. However he was bothered by a nagging sense of guilt, even though he knew he had nothing to feel guilty about, and then of course thoughts of Luna flickered through his mind along with all the sorrow, anger and regret that came with them. But in the hour where Aleks and Zoe made love all of the negative emotions that had plagued him recently, disappeared. All that mattered in that moment was the passion between the two but now his depression was creeping back. The silver fox gently took the bat off himself and laid her down next to him before getting up from the bed. Zoe stirred from being moved, she forced her head up and greeted with yawn "Hey, Foxy."
"Morning, Zoe" Aleks responded formally, not sure how to act the morning after a one night stand. He walked over to his suitcase and got out some underwear along with the combat fatigues he was going to be wearing for the mission.
"What a night." She breathed with satisfaction and turned on her back, tilting her head to get an eyeful of the naked fox.
"Uh, glad you enjoyed it." Aleks replied, feeling awkward.
"Aaand," Zoe dragged teasingly "what about you? How was your first foray into interspecies nookie?"
"Well…" Aleks began, his mouth feeling dry "Umm, except of almost having a heart attack, it was pretty nice."
Zoe laughed before taunting "Aww I'm sorry, was I too fast for you?"
Even though the mood was casual Aleks felt he needed to clarify something, fully knowing that it would ruin the mood, he looked back at her and asked with serious voice "Zoe, there's nothing serious behind it, ok? It was just sex."
Zoe was quiet for a few seconds before answering with satisfied smile "It was just sex.", that was enough for Aleks who gave a small smile back before continuing getting dressed.
Zoe got out of bed and started to gather her clothes as well, chuckling slightly when she saw the rips caused by Aleks' teeth and claws. "We have to go to the mission briefing soon, I'll head out first so Ray doesn't get suspicious." She said, thinking that topic change would be best.
"Right." Aleks concurred, unable to resist looking at Zoe's nude body.
Soon enough they were both dressed and Zoe was about to fly out the window, however she felt needed to say something also "I think she's stupid." She said, out of the blue.
"Who?" Aleks queried.
"The girl that broke your heart," Zoe answered "I'm guessing she's the one who messed up and not you."
"…She not stupid." Aleks replied, not knowing why he was defending Luna.
"Really? Aleks you're one of the sweetest mammals I've ever met and your good in the sack to boot, so whoever this girl was she didn't deserve you, she's a moron who didn't realise how good she had it." Zoe spoke her mind "You may feel like shit now but in the long run you'll figure out that you're better off without her."
"…Thanks." Aleks said meekly, knowing that Zoe was right but the pain of heartbreak still ailed him.
Zoe flew up towards Aleks face and stole a kiss before saying "And if you need help forgetting your troubles I know a very sexy bat who can help."
"I'll keep that in mind." Aleks said with the smallest of smiles, Zoe then flew out the window leaving him alone with his lingering sorrow.
An hour later Aleks was leading Zoe and Ray through the snowy ruins of Tundra Town, the chopper had dropped outside Fishtown Market, three miles away from the clean up and construction crews working hard to rebuild the district. The docks were only five miles east from Fishtown market but for this op to be successful, they would have to approach undetected, in the likelihood that The Drowned had scouts in the ruins. Luckily, Aleks knew the layout of Tundra Town well and was aware of all the alleys and short cuts in the area. Zoe had spent most of the trek on Ray's shoulder, it took up a lot of energy for her to flap her wings and seeing as they had to approach their destination slowly it made sense for her to conserve energy. Even though all three mammals were dressed in thermal gear, both Ray and Zoe were feeling the chill as they trudged through the snow covered district. Aleks, on the other hand, seemed comfortable, he was from Poland after all, the winters there could be brutal.
It took them nearly three hours to transverse the short five mile distance. The use of the concealed paths that Aleks had led the squad down had eaten up time, but he got them there safely and unseen. The fox took point as they ascended through the wrecked administration building of the docks, all three of them silent, communicating only through nods and hand signals, it was only when they got to the sixth floor and final floor that Ray said "We'll set up near those windows, that'll give us the best vantage point of the shipping containers." pointing over at the other side of the office where the smashed windows had let in the snow and covered most of the office space with the white powder.
"What time does the smuggler arrive?" Aleks asked.
"Anytime between midday and midnight, The Drowned text him a time to show up." Ray answered.
"Too bad we can't get a fire going, my wings are freezing." Zoe moaned, programming her drones to watch the entrances of the building in case The Drowned showed up.
"This is nothing." Aleks replied, taking off his backpack "Back home I used to train in weather like this all the time."
"Well let's hope this smuggler shows up before our tails freeze off." Ray said, looking out the window at the ruins of the docklands and wondering where on earth The Drowned could be hiding.

"I feel kind of bad about leaving you guys behind." Nick said, fixing his bow tie as he walked into the living room of the family apartment.
"Why? We don't. Me, Kodi and the Blind Badass are happy right here." Robyn responded, she was sat on the sofa between Kodi and Hannah, mashing buttons on a console controller with Kodi mirroring her with his own controller.
"No offence Nick but being at a stuffy auction doesn't sound like a night of fun." Hannah threw in.
"Yeah my parents dragged me to enough of those things to put me off them for life."Kodi chimed in.
"Ok, ok; message received. Enjoy your video game marathon while I have to make another damn speech." Nick griped, looking at the small mirror on the wall to check how he looked in his tux (For the tenth time).
"Speeches were in the job description slick." A voice chuckled, Nick spun around to see Judy coming out of the hallway, garbed in her ceremonial police chief uniform which triggered a disappointed look on the fox's muzzle.
"I thought you were going to wear that dress I got you on Valentine's day." Nick said.
"I was but then Mason told me all the Cops present should be in uniform, I don't get a free pass cos' I'm married to the mayor." Judy explained.
"But you look so sexy in that dress." Nick pouted.
"Ewww." Robyn sounded in protested, not taking her eyes off the game on the TV.
"Prude." Judy teased her youngest kit "Anyway I thought you were a fan of dresses, Princess Robyn?"
"Mom!" Robyn squeaked with embarrassment.
"You never told us why you came home dressed like a Disney Princess." Nick digged, treasuring the bashful look on the teen's face.
"Please drop it." Robyn pleaded.
Nick was about to continue taunting Robyn but when he saw the clock on the wall read 7.11pm, he said "Aw crap, we're going to be late."
Judy took this as her cue to grab the car keys from the little bowl near the door and saying bye to the youngsters on the sofa "Call if you need anything, we should be home before midnight."
"Yeah Judy and I left some money on the kitchen counter, order some takeout." Nick added as he was hurried out the door by his wife.
"Have fun." Hannah replied.
"Drive safe." Robyn chimed in just as the front door was shutting.
After thirty seconds the three decided it was safe to talk, Kodi paused the video game, got out his phone, tap a few buttons and smiled "Showtime. I've just texted Olivia and Kion, they're on their way."
Robyn had gotten out her own phone and was reading a text while relaying "And Luna, the old farts and Sasha are already at the Opera House, all seems calm so far."
"I'm going to get changed." Hannah said, grabbing her rucksack and heading to the bathroom.
By the time Hannah had got changed into her Bullet guise and come back into the living room, Kodi and Olivia had arrived. "Damn Stripes, you're eager." Kion observed with a grin.
"I just want to get there as soon as we can, I've got this feeling in my gut that something's not right." Hannah fretted, her parents' safety the foremost in her thoughts.
"Don't worry, we're leaving soon." Olivia promised "Let's just go over our roles one more time; I'm going to be on air support, I'll be positioned a quarter of a mile away on top of a parking lot, it's the highest point for miles around so I'll be able to see anything coming."
"Hannah and I will be on the roof, next to the skylight above the ballroom, if shit goes down, we storm in and kick ass." Robyn grinned, cracking her knuckles.
"I'm at the back entrance, I'll stay hidden in the bushes but if anything happens, I'll transform and let out a roar as a signal." Kion informed.
"And that leaves me and Bella watching the front entrance from a side street, I'll use my wand to switch off any street lights near me so no one notices Bella." Kodi rounded off.
"Ok, let's suit up and head out." Olivia rallied.

The charity event officially started at 8pm, but Sasha had come early with her parents so she could take photos of the arriving guests and Luna had turned up early under the ruse that she was making sure that Treetail had made the amendments that she demanded, while Marian and Robin sr. pantomimed as the elderly and forgetful parents of the mayor who got the time wrong. Luckily, Commissioner Bogo was already there and let the couple in. It didn't take long for the former vigilantes to retrieve the weapons that were stashed in the bathrooms the day before, for Marian she had two telescopic batons identical to Robyn's, they weren't her trusty wooden ones from her days as The Maid but there was no way to conceal the old bulky weapons and it was likewise for Robin sr. who couldn't conceal his old bow or quiver in his suit so he had to make do with a tranq pistol and so did Luna.
"Ugh, I hate wearing posh frocks." Marian complained, supping from a bottle of beer "Give me a Clash t-shirt and my leather jacket any day."
"I think you look ravishing, my love." Robin sr. flirted, sticking to water as he was driving home.
"I look like a prat." Marian refused to believe her husband's flattery.
"It's just for tonight, Nana." Luna soothed, the vixen was dressed in a backless dark blue dress and wearing diamond earrings and a sapphire necklace she had inherited from her birth mother Victoria "Anyway we should split up, we won't spy much if we're all bunched together like this."
"I guess." Marian sighed, before walking off with Robin sr. in tow.
Just as the two retired vigilantes went across to the other side of the room, Luna was joined by Sasha, who stole a quick snap of the glamourous looking surgeon "That dress is gorgeous." She complimented.
"You look pretty yourself Sasha." Luna replied, admiring Sasha's peach coloured dress.
"Thanks." Sasha reacted shyly, focusing on her camera screen instead of her own bashfulness.
Luna eyed Sasha's camera and asked a question that had been bugging her for a while "Hey there's something I've been wanting to ask you; what's the deal with that camera?"
Sasha looked at the shorter mammal with actual surprise, folks tended not to ask about the camera because they thought it was a sensitive issue, which it was, but Sasha didn't mind talking about it with a friend "Well it helps with my anxiety, I used to have panic attacks all the time a few years ago." She opened.
"Can I ask how your panic attacks started?" Luna probed carefully.
"I was bullied a lot back in elementary school, not just verbally or pranks, a couple of the girls beat up on a few occasions." Sasha revealed.
"Oh my god, that's awful." Luna gasped, unable to comprehend why anyone would want to torment such a sweet kid.
"Well one I was going into one of the study rooms in the library and they jumped me; I don't remember much but that sense of being scared stuck with me." Sasha told "I ended up in hospital for a few days, but after that I started to develop my anxiety problems… I actually look back on my first panic attack and I think of how dumb it is."
"There is nothing dumb about it, you went through something traumatic." Luna spoke from experience "So what triggered your first attack?"
"I was getting discharged from the hospital, my Dad lifted me up and was going to carry me back to the car but when I saw the door to my room I just freaked; the last time I walked through a door I got beaten up and all that fear resurfaced." Sasha confided "I screamed, I cried, I scrambled out of my Dad's arms and leapt back on the bed…It took them ten minutes to calm me down, Mom had to open the door to show me that nothing bad was out there but from that moment I got scared wherever I went, I needed my family to open doors for me and check the coast was clear of bullies. I know it's an irrational fear but it's still there."
"Sasha, I'm so sorry." Luna sympathised.
"It's ok, I'm just lucky I had my family around me, especially Kodi. I remember about a few weeks after I was hospitalized he came running back from a garage sale with this old telescope, the kind a pirate would have, and handed it to me." Sasha remembered fondly"He said 'Now you'll be able to see trouble coming' and you know what it helped, it was like a coping mechanism, I'd carry the telescope everywhere and look around a room before entering it. Then a few months later Kodi suggested a camera might help, so he found this really old polaroid camera in the attic, this helped but I also discovered my talent for photography. It's stupid but when I observe the world through a lens it's less scary, I don't see things that can hurt me, I see stories and art…does that make sense?"
"It makes a lot of sense." Luna smiled.
Ninety minutes later the event was in full swing, the ballroom was getting quite full with Nick, Gazelle and Alana greeting the guests as the entered. The actual auction was set to begin at 9pm and many of Zootopia's richest citizens were chatting about what art they were going to bid on. Despite all the commotion, Luna's senses were on alert for anything amiss, her amber eyes traced the room for any threats; she saw Bianca and Bernard Gabor the philanthropic mice chatting with deputy mayor Alana Clearwater and her boyfriend Bailey, Judy, Wade, Jack and Skye seemed enthralled by a story Clawhauser was telling, Sasha was doing her rounds and taking pictures of the politicians and celebs and Nick was chatting with the State Governor Hector Candall, a white horse covered with black speckles. But when Luna saw who was approaching her father her stomach knotted with dread as she uttered "You've got to be kidding me."
"I've got to say Nick, you and Alana have really put this city back on track." Candall praised.
"All we've done is give some orders, it's normal zootopians that have helped this city." Nick corrected, finishing his drink and passing the empty glass to his bodyguard Ben, who just rolled his eyes and placed the glass on a passing waiter's tray.
"Come on, stop being modest," Candall played "as soon as the military takes care of The Drowned problem, I'm sure this city will be back to normal."
"Well actually my wife may have found a sol-" Nick began but was cut off by a jovial voice.
"Hector, you old bastard!" The voice greeted in a friendly but loud manner, Nick turned to see a sharp dressed moose coming towards him and the governor and hid his sour expression as Eustice Phelps sauntered over with a rather small white furred doe rabbit beside him, dressed in a typical bodyguard suit.
"Eustice, good to see you." Candall responded, patting the moose on the back "How's the gun business?"
"Doing good, it might be even better in November and you're promoted to the cabinet." Phelps hinted, nudging the stallion with his elbow.
"Now, now Phelps, we've still got a long way to go before the election, anyway tonight's not the night to be talking about defence contracts. We're here to raise some money for charity." Candall diverted.
"I agree, we should be honouring the dead and not talking about tools of death." Nick barbed.
Phelps and Candall both noticed the sly jibe but the moose was the first to blink "Ah, Mayor Wilde you're still new to this game, soon enough, you'll figure out that some of the biggest deals are made at shindigs like these."
"And as me and my deputy told you before, we're not interested in your deals." Nick threw back, causing a satisfied smile to appear on Ben's face and a concerned one to grow on the Governor's.
Before anything incriminating was said, Phelps cleared his throat before saying "You know what, I'm quite parched, I think I'll head to the bar." The moose then walked away with the small bunny beside him, keeping a close eye for any danger.
"Sir, if I may say, I think it may best if you take your seat at your table." Alice advised "It's positioned closest to the fire exit in case of escape."
"I wouldn't worry yet, Kirabito." Phelps huffed, propping his elbows on the bar and signalling the bartender to come over.
"What do you mean yet?" Alice asked, confused by the wording.
"I'm just saying you can relax for the moment, just be close to me when the auction starts." Phelps replied cryptically.
Alice was about to question further when she caught a familiar scent, she spun to her left and saw the pissed off face of her lover ten feet down the bar. Alice calmly walked over and leant on the bar but looked the other way so it didn't look like she was conversing with the vixen "What are you doing here?" she asked, her tone peaceful but inside, alarm bells were going off, this whole situation seemed off.
"I'm one of the richest mammals in the city, of course I'm here." Luna gave an angry whisper "Care to explain why you're here?"
"Got a bodyguard job, I'm protecting that moose over there." Alice nodded at her employer "I'm guessing you're not just here for the auction, seeing as you have that Tranq gun in your purse."
"How did…" Luna began to ask but Alice cut in quickly.
"I can smell the tranquilizers, I'm used to the smell." The doe bunny explained quickly.
"Are you carrying a gun?" Luna asked, noticing the bulge in Alice's black blazer.
"Of course, it's actually made of plastic making it a breeze to get through metal detectors." Alice replied before flicking her wrist and showing a thin acupuncture-like needle "And all my paralysing needles are carbon fibre anyway."
"Listen I think it's best if we avoid each other, just go back over to your employer and I'll see you tomorrow night." Luna whispered, wanting to end the conversation and go back to her mission.
"Until tomorrow then." Alice bid farewell while slipping the needle back up her sleeve before strolling away adding "You look beautiful by the way."
"…So do you." Luna found herself whispering as watched the rabbit return to her client.

A quarter of a mile away, atop of a multi-storied parking lot, Spitfire was perched on a ledge, looking over at the main road in and out of the meadowlands district. She figured that if The Drowned were going to come from anywhere, it'd be by the main road junction, but the intersection seemed normal, with the standard amount of traffic for that time of night. She was about to radio Luna to see if things were quiet at the Opera House when she heard a shattering of glass and the thud of metal; the unmistakeable sound of a car crash but soon enough the sound came again and again and again. Spitfire looked to the east and used the mech's built in binoculars to see what the hell was going on "Oh, Bollocks." She cursed as she laid her eyes upon the oncoming threat, a Bulldozer with an elephant at the wheel was ploughing through the streets followed by two armoured vehicles that looked like troop carriers. Spitfire quickly spoke into her comm "We got Drowned coming from the east down Grazer Avenue!"
"Guys I just spotted two armoured trucks coming west from Albreto road, I'm pursuing now!" Mage's panicked voice came over the radio.
"It's a pincer attack, Roar get to the front of the Opera house, stop that Bulldozer!" Spitfire commanded as she took to the skies "Luna get word to the cops at the front of the building!"
"On it." Luna replied.
"Um, did anyone just notice all the waiters left?" Sasha's unsure voice asked over the comm, cementing fear in the Team's hearts.
Back at the Opera House everyone was seated at their tables as Gazelle began to host the auction, not noticing Luna and Sasha race across the ballroom towards Judy. "Good evening ladies and gentlemammals tonight we are here tonight because of a disaster that has ravaged our beautiful city…" Gazelle spoke through the mic to enraptured crowd, unaware of the danger they were in.
Luna and Sasha made it to Judy and Nick's table where Ben, Jack and Skye were also sat. Judy saw her eldest daughter rushing to her but before she could say a word Luna blurted out "There's Drowned at the front of Opera House, we need to evacuate!"
"What? What the hell you talking about?" Judy reacted, subconsciously putting her hand on her holstered tranq pistol.
"Kiddo?" Nick gawped, looking around for any danger, Ben had heard this to and was scouting around too.
"How do you know this?" Jack asked, the striped rabbit signalling for Bogo and Clawhauser to come over.
"Look we don't have time, we need to-" Luna insisted but was halted by Skye who rose to her feet and reached for her gun.
"Kitchen doors!" Skye hollered levelling her gun as she saw one of the waiters throw two smoke grenades into the ballroom, she fired two shots that missed, but the sound of the shots sent the ballroom into pandemonium and the subsequent explosion of the smoke bombs only fuelled the panic and mayhem, screams and gunfire filled the air as Luna instinctively took hold of Sasha's hoof and made her shelter under the table.
Through the haze of smoke and mammals trying to rush for the exits Judy could see multiple figures start to pour out of the kitchen, all dressed as serving staff and wielding machine guns, she had got her tranq pistol but couldn't get a clear shot. But through all the chaos the distinct sound of a window pane smashing made Judy look up, Scarlet jumped through the smashed skylight with Bullet in her arms. Even through the smoke Judy could see the distinct red of Scarlet's uniform, as the vigilante landed she kicked a cultist otter in the jaw before twirling and freeing Bullet from her arms. Judy focused her acute hearing on the two heroines to listen in if they had a plan, their voices were distorted by their modifiers but Judy could clearly hear what they said.
"Nice moves." Bullet joked.
"You're not the only dancer on the team, Blind Badass." Scarlet bantered before launching herself into attacking the closest Drowned cultist she could lay her paws on.
Judy felt like her heart stopped for a moment, despite all the violence and anarchy going on around her the police chief's mind went blank, her eyes went wide as she replayed the conversation in her head. Blind Badass, she had heard that silly nickname so many times before, it was the pet name of Hannah and she was only called it by one other mammal "Robyn?" Judy whispered, feeling nothing except fear.
(AN/ DUN DUN DUN! Judy knows! On the next chapter of SOC... y'know what? No spoilers for next week. I'll just leave you with the cliffhanger. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Review and C YA SOON...)
