Hello, everyone! This is RainbowDashFanRainbowDashFan1797 here, and welcome to the first ever "Zootopia" and "Higurashi: When They Cry" crossover! I heard some HUGE news about "Higurashi: When They Cry" getting a new anime this year, so I thought what better way to celebrate the occasion than with this story. Also, I really hope they dub the new anime, but that's a topic for another time. Anyway, I really hope you enjoy this story. Here we go! Disclaimer: I DO NOT own "Zootopia" or "Higurashi: When They Cry". All rights go to their respective owners.
Chapter 1: Another Day at the ZPD
It was nighttime in the city of Zootopia. A red and yellow car is speeding down a lane, but takes a left turn on to another. Following the vehicle was a ZPD unit driven by a bunny officer named Judy Hopps. In the passenger seat was her partner, a fox named Nick Wilde. She was doing her best to try and keep up with the driver.
The driver increases his speed, causing the car to get further away from the police vehicle. Judy grits her teeth in anger and frustration and increases her speed as well. Nick fell back in his seat with a nervous look.
"Uh, Carrots, don't you think you ought to slow down a bit?" He asked.
Judy was too frustrated to pay attention to her partner. She picked up the microphone.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TRAFFIC LAWS YOU'RE BREAKING?! PULL OVER!" She demanded.
The car kept going, much to the bunny's dismay. It also started swerving a bit. Judy put down the microphone, still frustrated.
"Darn it!"
After a few more minutes of chasing the driver, the car finally comes to a stop. In the car, the driver is trying to start it again, but realizes that the gauge is on empty.
"Out of gas?! Damn it!" He shouted.
The police unit stopped and Nick and Judy got out. They started walking towards the car. The driver quickly got out, revealing to be a wolf wearing blue jeans and a purple dress shirt. He stumbles as he tries to run from the duo. They ran up to him and after a short scuffle, they manage to cuff him. They escorted him to the back of their car. As they push him in, he drunkenly talks nonsense.
"You pigs. You can't arrest me. You know who I am?" He asked.
They shut the doors on him.
"Hey! I asked you a question. Do you know who I am?"
"Yeah, yeah. Tell us all about it when we get to the station, buddy." Nick said, sarcastically.
They walk back to the front of the car and get in. Judy speaks to dispatch through the police radio.
"Dispatch, this is Officer Hopps." She said, "We've got the culprit. Apparently he was not only speeding, but driving while intoxicated. Send a tow truck to pick up the car. We're on our way to the station. Over."
She turned off the radio and started the car. After carefully turning around, they started heading back to the station. When they got to the station, they brought the drunken wolf in. Two officers, a pig and a lioness, escorted him to the holding cells. Nick and Judy then heard the voice of Benjamin Clawhauser.
"Hey, guys!" He called.
They turned and walked to the front desk.
"Hey, Benny. How's it going?" Nick asked.
"I've been doing good. Just got some Gazelle tickets today. I can hardly wait!" The cheetah said with excitement.
The duo chuckled.
"I bet, Ben. I bet." Said Judy.
The cheetah suddenly got a look of realization.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Chief Bogo wants to see you. He says it's really important. I don't know what it is, but it can be urgent for all I know." He told them.
A minute later, Nick and Judy were in Chief Bogo's office. The cape buffalo had a serious expression on his face.
"Officers Hopps and Wilde."
"Yes, sir?" Judy said.
He closed his eyes and sighed. He opened his eyes again.
"Something terrible has happened." He said.
Nick got a sly look.
"What is it? Did they run out of horn sharpeners at the store?" He asked, slyly.
The chief glares and points at him.
"This is a very serious situation, Wilde! We have no time for your jokes." He told him, sternly.
"Okay, okay. Just kidding. Geez." Nick said, putting his paws up a bit in defense.
"What is it, Chief?" Judy asked.
Bogo was silent for a minute. Finally, he spoke.
"Former Assistant Mayor Dawn Bellwether has escaped from prison."
Nick and Judy were shocked.
"What?!" Nick asked.
"But... how did... how... how did that happen?" Judy asked.
"We were wondering about that as well. Until we saw something on one of the security tapes. Allow me to show you." He told them.
A few minutes later a TV cart was brought into the office. After the officer left, Chief Bogo hit play on the VCR. At first, there was static. But then, the screen cleared up. It showed two officers guarding the entrance to the cells. Everything was normal for a few seconds, but one of the guards was mysteriously shot with a tranq dart. After he fell unconscious, his partner went over to help him.
As he tried to wake him up, an ominous figure quietly walked towards him. When the figure got close, it hit the guard with what appeared to be a tranquilizer gun. After that, it took the keys off the unconscious guard and opened the door. The figure quietly proceeds down the hallway, trying not to wake the other inmates. Finally, the figure stopped at a certain cell. It used the same keys to open it and walked in.
A few seconds later, a small sheep with glasses was shown walking out and stopping for a minute. Judy looked at the screen in surprise while Nick looked at it in both surprise and anger. They watched as the figure walked out of the cell. The sheep started walking to the entrance, the figure following suit. The tapes ends. Chief Bogo turned off the TV. Nick and Judy turned to him.
"So that means..." Judy started to say.
The chief nodded.
"Yes, Officer Hopps. It seems that Bellwether has an accomplice. We don't know who it is, but we know it's wearing some kind of black cloak with a hood." He told them.
"So you're saying it can be anyone?" Nick asked.
The chief nods again.
"Yes, Wilde. It can be anyone."
He was silent for a second, then spoke.
"As of now, you two have the day off tomorrow." He said, "After that, you will be able to help us on the case. But until then, be on the lookout for Bellwether and her mysterious accomplice. We will try our best to resolve this."
"Understood, sir." Said Judy.
The duo walked out of the chief's office. They eventually walked out of the ZPD building and started walking to their apartments.
"How did she get help?" Nick asked, a bit angry.
"I don't know, Nick." Judy replied, "But what I do know is that we'll have to work and plan hard if we're going to stop Bellwether again."
"And her accomplice."
"Yes, and her accomplice as well."
"What do you think she's planning now?" Nick asked, still on edge, "I mean for all we know, she could be planning on starting the whole Nighthowler thing all over again!"
"I really hope that's not the case. But like I said before, I don't know." Judy said, calmly.
Nick let out a calm sigh.
sigh* "Sorry, Carrots." He apologized, "It's just that my blood is still boiling about that case. Remembering what she did."
Judy places a comforting paw on the fox's shoulder. Nick looks at her.
"I know, Nick. But the only way we're gonna solve this is if we work together and stay calm." She told him.
They soon stopped walking. Nick looked at the building beside them. A small smile formed on his face.
"Well, here's my stop. See ya later, Carrots." He said.
Judy gently took her paw off him.
"See you too, Nick. Just remember, keep it together. Okay?" She said.
Nick glanced at her wearing the same sly smile. He chuckled.
"Sure thing, Carrots."
Nick opened the door to the building and walked in. He closed the door. Judy smiles and starts walking again. She hears thunder and stops. She looks at the sky.
"Looks like I better get back to my apartment unless I wanna get soaked." She thought.
She started walking again. Unbeknownst to her, both her and Nick were being watched by someone in a black van. The van quietly drove away. Several minutes later, Judy walked into her apartment. After taking a shower and brushing her teeth, she changed into her pajamas and got into bed. She heard the rain falling outside. She eventually fell asleep. Nick was at his own apartment getting ready for bed as well. He was wearing green plaid pajama pants. He walked to his window and saw the rain falling. He chuckled.
"It sure is raining its butt off out there." He said to himself.
He closes his curtain and gets into bed. He slowly closes his eyes and soon falls asleep. Meanwhile, the black van was heading down another lane. Inside were Dawn Bellwether and the figure. The figure spoke.
"So, that was them?" The figure asked in a voice that sounded feminine.
The sheep nodded.
"Yes. I want to pay them back for what they did. They ruined everything for me." She said, angrily.
"So, you want revenge?"
"What do you think?"
For a minute, there was silence.
"By the way, I know you got my name, but you never gave me yours." Bellwether said, breaking the silence.
The figure didn't respond.
"What's your name?" She asked.
"I will tell you my name on one condition." The figure said.
"What's that?"
"We need to find a hideout first. Do you have any places in mind?"
The sheep thought about it for a second, then got an evil smirk.
"I think I know just the place." She said.
