I smiled while Officer Wilde and I shook paws. I let his paw go and turned to the smallest mammals as they approached us. I saw the spooky expression on Officer Hopps' face, and I realized the horrible news she had learned. I blinked as I shifted my attention to Sonic and angrily slapped his shoulder.

"No, no… Please do not blame him for telling me about this. It was just horrible what Ivo Robotnik would have done to the mammalians. That's cruel," the rabbit explained.

I sighed before I straightened myself up, "You misread the situation - I was angered at him for telling you this too soon. Once we had Ivo Robotnik captured, I will kick my brother's tail."

"It's alright - I am a cop. I can take it, ok?" she reminded me of her duty as Precinct One's best cop.

"So now that we know each other let's get started on the hunt. I didn't want to miss the movie this evening," Officer Wilde called out, drawing us back to the previous topic.

"Yeah," Sonic agreed, "So let's switch partners for awhile?"

"Fine. It seems like Officer Wilde wants some time in the air. Is that alright with you, Officer Hopps?" I said with a shrug.

The first rabbit cop nodded as she crossed her arms, "That's good. Let's cover some ground, Sonic."

"Alright, c'mon, Officer Wilde," I mouthed as I walked toward the entrance of the building, part of me wanted to drag this bloody fox out as soon as possible.

Once we were outside, I blinked as I felt a breeze behind me on the left. It was Sonic as he rushed out to take care of the ground zone. I shook my head and lifted my paws to Officer Wilde. My forearms crossed as our paws joined together. His expression was bewildered as I started to roll my twin tails before I made them spin at a speed that normal mammalians couldn't describe. Officer Wilde blinked in surprise as I slowly lifted into the air before I pulled him into the sky. Sure, he's heavier than Sonic, but that was not a problem.

"Your city is pretty much underdeveloped," he said with a smirk on his muzzle. I wanted to drop him and stomp his petty face.

But I couldn't do that. So I shook my head as I continued to lift us higher and higher. I started to explain the reason, "It's because Ivo Robotnik kept us from using vehicles at all. We are at war."

"I see. So it's natural for you to possess two tails?" he asked. It was almost as if he was trying to make amends.

We were now above the level of buildings roofs and starting to move west, opposite the direction Sonic went. I answered, "Yes. I was born with two tails. Which made me a kitsune instead of a regular fox."

"Ah, that's cool," he admitted with a gleeful grin.

I sighed again before I focused on staying floating in the sky. What was I saying… Argh! Something went past my muzzle before I wobbled and had to descend down to the ground once again. As I moved toward the ground, Officer Wilde landed first and we let each other go. I limped a little bit as I felt my face for damage.

"Hey, you! ZPD! Drop the weapon immediately," my new friend yelled at someone outside my sight.

I blinked as i shifted my focus to the sound. I figured out that it was a zebra whom wielded a sniper rifle. My predator instinct got me in self-defense mode so I wouldn't have to eat more bullets.

The shooter lifted his rifle at us as he shouted, "She has to go She has an awful mutant disease. A disease that can and will change us into freaks!"

His comment was like pushing a hot iron against my flesh. It hurt my feelings. My body felt heavier after that comment. I lost my sense of hearing as the words clutched in my mind. However, my instinct was still actively moving me around so I wouldn't have holes like Swiss Cheese. Fortunately, the sense of self-defense was lessened as a familiar breeze blew to me. I blinked as I lifted my head to face Sonic's concerned gaze.

"…sko! Tailsko! Are you alright?" he said, which lifted the weight off my mind so I could hear better.

I blinked as my eyes started to filling with the tear, "Yeah. I am physically fine. Just nearly got shot but his words really pierced me."

"Ugh," he groaned as he turned to the scene, which showed the cops hadn't make any progress in getting the shooter, before he responded, "We will talk after we get him down."

"Perhaps with Chief Bogo. But we've got to help our new friends - so we can show them we are not anchors," I said as I managed to push the negative thought aside.

After I told Sonic to collect all the bullets from the shooter as he shot them, I ran toward my right. I knew Sonic too well to not want him hurt, but it was for Zootopia's sake. Sonic's the only guy with the super speed. He took my advice to heart as i felt the breeze circling the shooter and the cops.

"Officer Wilde and Officer Hopps, just focus on keep the shooter busy," I called out, encouraged them to ignore the wind.

I could hear the shooter firing some bullets at the cops, but none of them were hit thanks to Sonic. However, the shooter was focused on three so he didn't see me at all. Perhaps it was instinct that kept him on the defense, maintaining his freedom from two predators and a prey. I was now looking at his back. I couldn't believe at how fast this shooter could reload his rifle. After he reloaded he started shooting wildly. One of his bullets nearly grazed Officer Wilde's shoulder. The nausea in my stomach started as I ran toward the shooter and jumped in the air. I threw my back paws onto the back of his head, which knocked him out.

"Great work, Tailsko, thanks," Officer Wilde said with a smile on his muzzle. That smile was different from what he showed me when we lifted into the air.

His words, however, helped me feel better than when the shooter's words weighed me down. I blinked as I heard the cruiser approaching us, then I turned my attention to the source. It was Chief Bogo who had gotten the message from either Officer Wilde or Officer Hopps. It's better to have a mobile to carry the shooter than to get into a fight each time he woke up. We all got him loaded into the cruiser and I sat in the front seat while Officer Wilde and Officer Hopps sat in the back. They were holding the shooter in the backseat. That left Sonic to run. I explained to Chief Bogo that he didn't like to sit still for more than five minutes. He allowed it if Sonic could keep up with us. Once we got to Precinct One and went to the interview room to file the paperwork. Chief Bogo left to cover details in his office, I was not quite sure what he was up to. Officer Hopps sure was keen on the details as I explained my side of the story to her. Now I see why she was the first rabbit cop in Precinct One.

"There, that should cover everything," Officer Hopps claimed as she closed the file. She got off the chair that she shared with Officer Wilde and worked her way to the filing cabinet.

I got off the chair and joined her to help her out. I opened the drawer and she put the file in. Something that her boss told her to do it just before he left, so there was no worry later on. Officer Hopps and I made our way back to our male companions before we went to Chief Bogo's office. She told me that she should report to the chief about the paperwork. I raised my eyebrow, as in my study we were supposed to hand the paperwork to the chief when the work was done. Perhaps Chief Bogo had different ideas. We arrived at the door to Chief Bogo's office and I opened it due to our height difference. As soon as we set our sight on the individuals in the office, we, the predators, stiffened our faces with anger and growled alertly. That left Officer Hopps in confusion, almost as if she didn't understand our way of being threatening.

"Oh, here they are. And I don't think they like you," Chief Bogo mouthed with his head tilting at the gruesome character.

And this character was the orange-furred small thoroughbred.
