Chapter 1- Awakening
Otter's note: Tanks for reading my previous stories. Now enjoy this one. I tell you, it's THE BEST!
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP ZOOTOPIA!" Corey Tailor screamed into his microphone (this is Corey Tailor the lead singer of Slipknotter, not my cousin).
It was a hot night at the Zoo2 Arena, a 30,000-capacity venue that Slipknotter had sold out. It is the largest concert venue in the city if you don't include Zootennial Stadium (Which rarely even hosts concerts). Unlike other arenas, it was designed nearly exclusively for music. There is a large floor section and a lot of seating above it arranged amphitheater-style (it can sometimes host Basketball games as well). The furthest seats are nowhere near as far away as they are at Zootennial Stadium. I was front-and-center, right on the barricade.
Corey Tailor, who was also an otter, pranced around the stage in his white jumpsuit and white mask. The pit pushed against me and so did everyone ese in the crowd.
"GET YOUR FUCKING PAWS IN THE SKY MOTHERFUCKER!" He screamed as the band went into "Psychosocial."
Jim Snoot and Mink Thompson, the two guitarists, banged their heads, while Tortilla Beaver and Clown Clawhan danced around on their elevated percussion kits. Coyote Jones was at his keyboard while Sid Weaselson ran around the stage. Jay Iceberg pounded on his drumkit while Armadillo Venturella played his bass.
"I DID MY TIME! AND I WANT OUT!" Corey Tailor shouted into the microphone as we shouted back to him. The crowd was going fucking crazy. I was getting pushed against the barricade and dodging crowd surfers left and right. I fucking love this shit.
Suddenly, I heard some yelling behind me.
"ALISTER!" a voice was saying.
"Hey," I said, "whoever that is, shut the fuck up. Slipknotter is playing Psychosocial live!"
"ALISTER!" the voice continued to shout. It was coming from the mosh pit.
"Alright, whoever the fuck you are, I'm coming to you," I said. I went back into the mosh pit.
I couldn't see anyone who could have possibly been calling my name. Everyone was into the groove of the show. The mosh pit was intense. It nearly stretched the entire floor section and there were even a few smaller mosh pits as well.
"BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!" An elephant shouted as he jumped into the air. Suddenly, I realized he was about to come down right on top of me.
"OH SHIT!" I said, as I tried to run from the falling pachyderm.
I was too late, and the gargantuan mammal crushed me.
I immediately woke up and nearly sat up but was restrained by something. As I came to, I looked around. This place was completely unfamiliar. There was an IV tube connected to my arm, and my bed was raised. The walls were all white and the light above was bright. I heard a beeping noise as well.
"Oh fuck," I thought, "how the fuck did I end up here?"
Suddenly a Tayra doctor wheeled themselves over.
"Alister Otterton," said the doctor, "that is your name. I am Dr. DeTayra."
"Yes indeed," I replied, "I know my name."
"Some serious shit has happened," they said, "You will have to catch up on what you missed."
"Alright," I said, "How the fuck did I get here?"
"You have been comatose for two weeks," said the doctor, "what is the last thing you remember?"
"I have no fucking clue," I responded, "I had a dream where I was at a Slipknotter show, and then got crushed by an elephant before waking up." I moved my hands around and felt a collar around my neck. "WHAT THE FUCK IS ON MY NECK?!" I shouted.
I looked over at the musteline doctor and realized that they also had a collar around their neck as well. There was a little box with a green light on it.
"It is a very long story," responded the tayra, "Basically, you were in a fight with an army of evil sheep wizards. All your friends were there and so was your family. They commenced the 'great taming' and you were found knocked out cold on the street shortly thereafter."
Suddenly, things started to come back.
"Oh fuck," I said, "The Hootswolf is dead, and Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde have been turned into stone," I started to think about my family, and my bandmates. "IS MY FAMILY OKAY?! ARE ALL MY FRIENDS OKAY?!"
"All your friends are okay," replied the doctor, "They are awake and in stable condition. You will be able to see them soon."
"Okay thank you so much," I said, "but what the fuck is this thing around my neck?"
"This," said DeTayra, as they pointed to their own neckpiece, "is a tame collar."
"A WHAT?!"
"This is supposedly to keep predators from acting out. Every predator in the city has one, under orders from Aires."
"OH FUCK!" I said, "Aires took over, and is spreading chaos across the land. Oh my fucking god this is what I am trying to stop. I am a descendent of the McFluff bloodline, I should do something. What am I supposed to do? How will I ever get this off? THAT AIRES FUCKER IS GOING TO PA-"
I felt a shocking sensation around my neck. "WHAT THE FUCK!"
"Oh I forgot to tell you," said Dr. DeTayra, "If you become too agitated, it will shock you. Green means calm, yellow means warning, and red means shock."
I hung my head, not knowing what the fuck was going to happen now.
Suddenly the door opened. In came the rest of my family. All of them, Emmitt, Ashkii, Corey, and Piper were also wearing these "tame collars."
"Alister," Emmitt said slightly happily, "It is so great to see you awake."
"But these collars can go fuck themselves," Ashkii said.
They all came up to hug me. I hugged them back.
"Is it true?" I asked, "Are we really descended from the McFluff bloodline?"
"Likewise," Emmitt responded, "It is starting the make more sense the more that I hear."
"I am so glad to know that you are okay," Corey said.
"And me too," Piper squeaked.
Corey was wearing a black Ice Nine Quills shirt, while Emmitt was wearing an Otter Ogan Shirt, Ashkii was wearing her Elkuveitie shirt and Piper was wearing the same soccer uniform but also a Kreator hat.
"Alright," said DeTayra to my family. "Alister is in stable condition. He will have to stay the night but will probably be home by tomorrow."
My family wished their temporary goodbyes and left. I had some of the hospital food (not good) and went to sleep for the night.
