Summary: Nick gets poisoned after eating blueberries from the Hopps farm, and Judy must figure out what kind of blueberry he ate and how to cure him.
On this morning in Bunnyburrow, Judy and Nick are driving to the former's parents house.
Judy knew about Nick, they even chatted over the phone if they ever called while the two were on patrol, but they hadn't met him in person yet, so Judy was driving over to visit and from them to meet.
They parked near Stu's truck and they both got out. They were both wearing flannels. Nick a dark red along with black sweatpants, while Judy had a more black and white flannel with light jeans.
Judy walked up to the door and turned to Nick. "Remember, keep as calm as you possibly can. I don't want anyone in my family to be scared of you, and for the love of everything, don't call me or anyone in here carrots." Judy said sternly but fragile enough.
Nick winked at her. "You got it, Judy." He said.
Judy went to open the door, but her parents already opened it.
"Hi mom, dad." Judy said hugging them.
"Hey sweetie, how's it going?" Bonnie asked.
"All well." Judy replied.
Stu noticed Nick. "Ho ho ho, if it isn't my daughter's partner. How've you been?" He said.
"I'm well myself. It it a pleasure to meet you in person." Nick said shaking their hands.
"Same here! Come on in, make yourself at home." Stu said as they all walked in.
Nick took a seat on the couch, where a few of Judy's younger siblings were sitting.
Judy and her parents went into the kitchen. "Did you do what I ask you to do?" Judy whispered.
"Yes, we did made sure Nick would not find any fox away items within the house." Bonnie said.
"Well where are they?" Judy wondered.
Stu took Judy to his and Bonnie's room and fiddled with the wall for a bit until he ripped out a part of the wall, revealing all the items. "There you go." He said before placing the wall back in neatly.
"Alright." Judy said.
...
Back in Zootopia, Cameron was at his house when he had a knock at his door.
Cameron got up to see Fangmeyer and Clawhauser at his door, Clawhauser holding a box.
"What's up?" Cameron asked.
"We need your help. I got that box at my doorstep, tried to find out what it was about, took it to Clawhauser, he couldn't figure it out, so now we're bringing it to you." Fangmeyer said before showing Cameron what was in it. Small, burnt pieces of paper with words on them.
Cameron studied the words. "Must be a jigsaw like puzzle." Cameron said.
"What do you think it could mean?" Clawhauser asked.
"Not sure *shuffles the letters around* Burrobunwny, can't be that." Cameron said.
"Ok, let's talk about potential ideas." Fangmeyer said.
...
A short while later, the group was outside near the crops as the younger kids were running around the field.
Nick was vaguely listening to Stu yap on about the food they were making.
"And we have many visitors come along to take some of our fine food, like carrots, apples, peaches, blueberries, the list goes on." Stu said.
"Mr Hopps, may I please have a few blueberries?" Nick asked.
"Sure, but be careful with the ones you choose, we haven't done the full checkup on which ones are poisonous and which ones are not." Stu said.
"Ok sir." Nick said before picking at random blueberries, not caring all that much of which ones which.
'There's a very low chance I'm actually getting poisoned from these.' Nick thought to himself.
THAT EVENING
Nick, kneeled down, vomitted into the toilet. This has been happening for what felt like forever.
He flushed the toilet, washed his hands, and went to leave, but then was met by Judy and Stu. "What did I tell you? Watch out for the poisonous berries!" Stu shouted clear at Nick.
"I did!" Nick said clutching his stomach.
"Yeah he's poisoned, get on our couch!" Stu grabbed Nick and dragged him into the living room.
Judy followed them as Nick was plopped onto the couch. "Nick, if we're going to fix this, we're going to need to know what type of blueberry you ate, so what was it?" Judy asked.
"I don't know, most of them looked the same!" Nick exclaimed.
"What do you mean most of them?" Judy asked, before her eyes went wide. "You didn't do the poison check yet!"
"The weather was horrible when I was suppose to do it yesterday, even I have my limits for working!" Stu said.
"Look, did any blueberries look slightly off to you?" Judy asked to Nick.
"Well I think I saw a branch of blueberries that was purple? And maybe I saw a tiny group of white berries?" Nick said.
Judy wrote it down in a notepad. "I'll find them and see what we can do to make a cure." Judy said grabbing her jacket and walking out.
Judy grabbed a small pair of earbuds and placed them in her ears and began to play music from her phone.
...
"Ok maybe the N." Fangmeyer said.
"Yeah and then probably next is the O." Cameron said.
"Wait didn't we already have this combination?" Clawhauser asked.
Cameron looked at it closer, "Yeah I think so." Cameron said.
...
Judy took a close look at the berries, they were all seeming pretty normal at this point.
...
"Ok so there's no hidden letters we can cut out." Cameron said checking every last piece of the papers.
"Think think think, oh, maybe it's a place you of us can recognize!" Clawhauser said.
"Yes or maybe one of your fellow officers." Cameron said.
"The park?" Clawhauser asked.
"A museum?" Fangneyer said.
"Hometown?" Cameron asked.
...
Judy was still looking, but she had nothing.
She went to go forward but tripped on a branch and fell down.
...
"I got it! We get to the mind of this guy, we burn the letters in alphabetical order!" Clawhauser yelled turning on the stove.
"I'm not sure that's a good idea." Cameron said.
"It is." Clawhauser said before making a paper erupt in flames and having everyone panic.
"This guy is demented!" Fangmeyer yelled.
...
Judy began to just eat blueberries at this point because of her misleadance.
Then, she saw a purple branch that had blueberries.
Judy smiled and picked it out.
...
"Ok we need to think what kind of person would want to do this?. Someone with an obsession." Cameron said.
"Unlikely." Fangmeyer said.
"That monster from Wes Crane's New Nightmare?" Cameron said.
"Not a real thing." Fangmeyer said.
"Something from The Conjuring universe?" Clawhauser said.
"Nope." Fangmeyer said.
"What about a Whodunit situation?" Cameron wondered.
"It's not a Whodunit situation." Fangmeyer said.
"It can totally be!"
"It's not!"
"I hate these causes of trees being chopped down!" Cameron said.
...
Judy saw slight blueberries that weren't the average color like purple, orange, and even white like Nick said and grabbed them.
...
"Oh my god guys, the way the papers are aligned in the exact shape of Russell Crow." Clawhauser said.
"I don't see it." Cameron said.
"Oh come on!" Clawhauser yelled.
...
The sun was beginning to set on Bunnyburrow and Zootopia, and Judy was talking with Screech on the phone about the poison. "Alright so what exactly can cure someone from any of these berries?" Judy asked.
"Well usually it would involve something he needs to swallow, but just in case I'll send you something right away, all you got to do is inject it in his veins and it would fix him up in mere minutes." Screech said clearly.
"Ok, you know our address." Judy said, before she scratched her right cheek.
Screech looked at the tracking beacon he inserted into Judy's right cheek via food. "Yeah, I think you told me one time." Screech said.
"I never..." Judy said before Screech hung up.
She sighed and looked off at the distance for a moment.
...
"We're getting nowhere with this!" Fangmyer yelled before wiping all the papers away from the ground.
Cameron sighed and went to grab them, but noticed something off. They were all arranged like one word.
"Wait a second." He mummured before beginning to arrange the letters on the table.
Once they were all in the right place, Cameron finally realized what the papers said.
B-U-N-N-Y-B-U-R-R-O-W
...
Then, she felt something heavy slam right next to her.
Her ears raised up in surprise as she felt a knife come close to her neck. "The town or the fox? Decide now." She heard Wolf Knight said.
"What?" Judy asked horrified.
"I'm going to poison the water of this very area with the mutagen for our first field test. You're the only one to know about Screech getting that cure. You have two options, either chase after me, or you can help your fox friend and cure him, but putting the very town you grew up in at terrible risk." Wolf Knight said.
...
"Why does it say Bunnyburrow?" Fangmeyer asked.
"I don't know." Cameron said.
"Judy and Nick are there right now." Clawhauser said.
"Then this can't be good." Cameron said.
"Well let's go!" Clawhauser yelled running out.
Fangmeyer followed pursuit.
"What about me!" Cameron yelled.
"Stay here!" Fangmeyer yelled running outside.
Cameron looked at the photos. "I should make a portfolio out of stuff like this." Cameron said to himself.
...
Judy was able to grip the blueberries and insert them into her pockets.
Wolf Knight dropped her, grabbed the mutagen and ran off, smacking his hand into a tree.
Judy got up and ran after her. She grabbed her walkie talkie and contacted the others. "Mom! Dad! Anyone! I got my hands full, I have a cure on the way for Nick, it might take me awhile to get there! Wait outside in the front yard." Judy said.
"Ok sweetie?" Bonnie asked, making it sound like a question.
Judy placed the walkie away and kept running after Wolf Knight, in which he kept smacking his hands into the trees.
...
Fangmeyer and Clawhauser had their sirens on as they blazed through the road like it was abandoned. "Are we sure we can make it in time?" Clawhauser asked.
"We're going to make it even if it kills me!" Fangmeyer said.
...
Wolf Knight made it to a sewer grate and began to pull it out when Judy jumped straight towards his legs and made him fall down on the grass.
The mutagen canister fell right next to the open part of the sewer. The bunny and the wolf could hear the water rushing through beneath them.
Wolf knight pulled out a dagger and went to stab it into Judy, but Judy had enough of this guy's nonsense.
She grabbed the dagger, released it from his hand and punched his ribs directly, which unexpectedly made Wolf Knight give a blood curling scream.
Judy froze in place for a split second as Wolf Knight began to clutch onto his ribs.
Judy dropped the knife and let her hand out. "Let me help you." She said.
Wolf Knight just looked at her for a moment, seeming to have the gears shift in his hand. He didn't grab her hand and simply crawled over to a tree.
"I think we should give you help." Judy said grabbing out her phone, but Wolf Knight stopped her.
"Don't." He said.
"Why not?" Judy asked.
"You don't get it, you don't get who you're up against kid. If I get into the hospital, they are going to know I'm the Wolf Knight. You also can't arrest without arresting my bosses, otherwise they're going to do terrible things to your family and friends. Do you want that?" Wolf Knight asked.
"No, of course not, but you can still leave this fight when you still have the chance." Judy said, still trying to get him on their side.
Wolf Knight winced in pain. "Sorry kid *raises a crossbow to his left* a job's a job." He said before shooting at the last tree he smacked his hand on, making it reflect onto the other trees he did that to.
Judy looked at him. "I have to make a form of progress. In exchange I won't poison the water." Wolf Knight said.
Judy began to run after the arrow.
"Mom! Dad! You have a mutagen arrow coming straight at you! Hide!" Judy yelled through the walkie.
"Judy?" She heard a younger child voice said through the mic.
"Carrie! Where's mom and dad?" Judy asked.
"Uh, outside. And something's wrong with dad." Carrie said.
'Oh shit.' Judy said in her head.
"Lock the doors now!" She yelled before running as fast as she could.
When she caught up, she saw a Zootopia police car skid to a stop and two figures stepped out, one was obviously Clawhauser, and the other was probably Fangmeyer.
She saw her father ravishing around and she saw her mother which her hands over her mouth and looking like she was about to sob.
Clawhauser pulled out a dart gun and shot out at her father, and then he fell down knocked out.
Judy screamed out accidentally, catching Clawhauser's attention and he froze in place.
Fangmeyer grabbed her father and began to speak with her mother and Judy dropped down to the ground out of exhaustion.
Then, Clawhauser went up to Judy. "Judy I'm sorry, I really am, I got scared and I knew he was mutated and I'm sorry." Clawhauser said going a mile a second.
"I get it! I get it." Judy said about to break down. "Wolf Knight's in the forest." Judy said.
Fangmeyer heard this and rushed over to the police car, gently place Stu in it and rushed into the forest.
Judy got up and hugged her mother tightly.
Then, Clawhauser saw a drone fly above them and land on the ground, having colorful confetti burst out from it.
"What's this?" He said.
"The cure for Nick's blueberry poisoning." Judy said wiping a tear away and grabbing the box.
...
Fangmeyer ran for the forest and saw the canisters of mutagen just laying there, with no Wolf Knight in sight.
He grabbed it to make sure not a single drip went out of it before walking off with it.
...
Judy rushed over to Nick and opened the door. "I got a cure." Judy said pulling out the needle.
"Sure carrots if you say s-" Nick said before Judy injected the needle into his wrist."
Nick suddenly felt a surge of energy rush through him. "OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BONESAW IS READYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-" Nick yelled.
"My father got mutated." Judy said.
"Oh shirt." Nick said.
...
Judy sat on a hospital bench with Clawhauser, Fangmeyer, and Nick, with her mother nervously staying at home with her kids.
A bunny doctor came up to Judy and she stood up. "What's his status?" Judy asked nervously.
"He's just like the other mutated, just the first one here. You're Judy Hopps right?" The doctor asked.
"Yes." Judy said.
"Well, I feel bad for you having to deal with stuff like that every day." The doctor said.
"Can we cure him?"
"Not without a vaccine or form of flu shot for stuff like this, we'll have to keep him in a comatose state until further notice." The doctor said.
Judy had to resist breaking down in the doctor's shoulder and simply sighed. "Ok, please keep him safe, he's my father." Judy said.
"I know. And good luck in the city Hopps." He said.
"Thanks you." Judy said.
...
After explaining it to her mother, the officer were driving back home.
Nick noticed how terrible of a state Judy was in, and suddenly he parked the car and looked at Judy. "Get out and scream." He said.
"What?" Judy said.
"Get out of the car and scream as loud as you can." Nick said.
"Why?"
"Judy just trust me, it works for me all the time, get out of the car, and just scream all of your rage out." Nick said.
Judy sighed. "Ok." Judy said before slowly getting out of the car and closed the car door shut.
Nick waited in silence for a moment before he faintly heard Judy scream for a few seconds, which was probably louder outside.
After another minute, Judy got back in the car with tears in her eyes.
Nick began to drive off. "We'll get through this Judy, this is just another chapter in the book." Nick said.
Judy looked at Nick and hugged him. Nick stopped the car again in fear of crashing and slowly hugged Judy as she cried into his shoulder.
...
Wolf Knight bursted into his house and dropped onto his bathroom and spat out a lot of blood.
After a little bit, he got up and plopped onto his bed.
He then got a call from his phone, it was Clive.
He picked it up. "Hello?" He asked.
Clive did not seem to be happy. "What happened?" Clive asked.
"Ah I got caught trying to infect the water. However I did infect one bunny, a father of lots and lots of kids probably." Wolf Knight said.
"What makes you say that?" The vulture asked.
"Let's just say I went for Judy Hopps heart." Wolf Knight chuckled. But really, he was actually feeling bad now. Judy actually tried to help him, despite the fact of the things he was doing. He didn't know what path to go down next, but right now, he couldn't betray Derwin and Clive, cause no one win in the end.
And that was his greatest fear when it came to the mutagen, and
A situation where no one wins.
