Chapter 11

Otter's note: The new AC/DC song is very good.

"Alister," a voice said, "come forth."

I looked forward and saw a bright light in front of me.

"Come to the light," said the voice, "Here, you will find everything you want."

"Oh shit really," I said, but no one responded.

I continued to walk to the light and was now right outside of it.

"Reach in," said the voice, "and you will see."

I started to reach into the light but pulled my paw back.

"You know what," I said, "This is all a scam, I'm going back."

I then ran away from the light and into a dizzying, flashing maze. Everything went dark until suddenly; I opened my eyes.

"Alister!" Ashkii said as she ran up and hugged me, I hugged her back.

"Did I just die?" I asked.

"You did," Emmitt said, "you were out for 10 minutes. So were the other band members."

I looked over and saw the rest of my band lying down and starting to breathe again. However, it was a musteline figure that caught my eye.

"Oi lads," said Christoferret Bowes, "I've saved yarr arses once again. All who died or got wounded in battle is currently being restored to their original selves. Well, except for Aires."

"Thank you so much, Ferret Bowes," Ashkii said.

"No, I don't need to be thanked," he replied, "Alister and his crew need to be thanked." He rode away on his tractor.

I slowly got up and looked around. I heard civilians on the sideline chanting my name and also chanting the band's name.

"Did I just die?" Weaselton asked.

"Yes, I died as well," Revi said.

"Fucking hell," said Palmer.

"I was just about to enter the light," said Lizzy.

"From death and back to life just like a boomerang," said Winston.

One by one, Bogo and his police force reappeared, back to their original selves.

"What the actual fuck just happened," said Bogo.

"It's a long story," Ashkii told them, "In short, Alister just saved the world."

All of Honey Badger's resistance crew came back as well.

"Ah," said Finnick, "coming back from death requires a night at the bar. Hey Badger! Judy! Nick! Want to get drunk tonight!"

"Fuck yeah," Nick Wilde said, "Oh shit, is that Honey Badger?"

"Yep," said Honey Badger, "it's me. I'll tell you what happened at the bar. In short, my conspiracy came true. Also, Dashley is invited. I got a surprise for her."

"We'll want to hear about it," said Judy Hopps, "over some rum shots."

Dashley came right towards me.

"Alister!" she said, as she hugged me, "You saved all of us."

Proletius the bear re-appeared and now the heroes were all back together.

"Oh fuck," said Proletius, "did I just die again."

"Yes you did," said the Hootswolf.

"But now all of the heroes are back together," said Ralathor.

"Oi hoots," said Bogo, "it's really you and the whole entire gang."

"For sure," replied the Hootswolf, "and we're all back together."

"Maybe if we have the heroes here," said Bogo, "we can majorly decrease police presence and funding. Who needs cops when you have the Heroes of Dundee."

"No longer of Dundee," said Angus, "but the Heroes of Zootopia!"

They all raised their paws in the sky.

"I guess I am back to being the mayor again," said Lionheart, "but it was a fun time drinking."

"Ay, Gideon!" Travis said as he hugged Gideon Grey, "The band's back."

"Ah, we got a few songs to record, and also our first EP," said Gideon Grey.

"The next one will be called 'Urethral Vomititis Fetishization'," Travis said.

"Sick!" said Corey, "now THAT is the shit I'm into."

"All right everyone," said Bogo, "Time to go."

He and the rest of the officers went back to their posts.

"All right everyone," said Honey Badger, "it was great to know you, I'll stay in contact with all of you."

"See you at the bar!" Finnick said.

"Wait," said Judy Hopps as she looked at Big Chungus, "you're my fucking cousin."

"Indeed I am," said big Chungus, "But I got to go now," he stomped off into the distance.

"We will continue to visit," said Bunbun.

"But now we got to go," said Bear on a Tractor.

The two disappeared through a portal and into another dimension.

"Hey," said Jason Elkley as he came up to me, "I know I used to be harsh on you, but you just saved my life. Aires completely deceived me."

"So," I said, "does this mean that you are trying to be my friend now?"

"Yes it does," he said, "I will even start listening to the music that you're into."

"Stoatally," I said, "Enemies no more."

He walked off into the distance.

"Alright," said the heroes, "time to go back."

"I will text you," said Weaselton to the Hootswolf, "I will keep you in contact like I always have. Same with the rest of you."

"Okay then," said The Hootswolf.

All of them disappeared except for Angus, who came right up to me.

"Grandnephew Alister," said Angus, "Great work from a hero."

"I guess I really just saved the world," I said, still awestruck.

"You did great, kid," said Angus, "I have a present for you."

He pulled out a smaller replica of the Hammer of Glory.

"This," said Angus, "is a magical recording hammer. It will record songs right as you play them. You can plug it into a computer. It's already recorded 'The Battle of Savanna Central', now, you can use it to record a whole album."

"Alright," I said, "now we got to right some songs."

"Oh yes," said Angus, "And also, the hammer can magically write songs if you think of them and if you are holding it. Your instruments are magical too, so each part will be composed on the spot."

"But I wrote today's song entirely on the spot," I said, "and I didn't even have the hammer."

"Indeed," said Angus, "that was my power. I used the Hammer's magic on you so you could make up a song on the spot."

"Oh fuck yes," I replied, "You seriously are the fucking greatest."

"No," said Angus, "YOU are the great one. You just saved everyone. Now, I must go, but I will stay in the city along with the rest of my gang. We can stop any evil that arises."

Angus then jumped back up into the sky.

"Alister," Judy Hopps said, "thank you for saving us."

"And sick song too," said Nick, "We will support your band. PELS RASERI FOREVER!"
The two walked off into the distance.

"Alright everyone," Weaselton said, "time to go back."

"We've got an album to write," said Revi.

We all went back to my house which was now home to a hero.
