Bogo looked sternly across the briefing room. "All right people... we got a serious case on our hands. It may very well be even direr than the Missing Mammals Case, or the Night Howler Crisis, and the chaos that has been griping Zootopia since then..." Bogo said, as he then presented a cookie jar on his desk. "We need to find out who stole all the cookies from the cookie jar," Bogo said seriously.

"Davies... I'm happy that you're having fun. But could you please get out of the penguin enclosure?" Anna Blackpaw asked as Davies was inside of the penguin enclosure, reading one of his books to the penguins.

"Don't ruin a lifelong dream woman! It's another hour until 'Swimming with Penguins' is open, and I refuse to lose my spot! Besides... I left my phone at home." Davies said.

"Yet he remembers to bring a book... just like Jonathan was. He even has the same love of penguins as Jonathan had for auk's." Anna said to herself as Davies continued reading.

In the ZPD breakroom, Benjamin Clawhauser had stripped down to his underwear, caressing an open donut box, with one, single donut left. "My... precious..." Clawhauser said with a phlegmy voice. Outside, Bogo, Nick, Judy and a number of officers were looking through the door window.

"So... he does this whenever the Precinct runs low on donuts?" Judy asked with concern.

"Yes... I can't believe I forgot to get more." Bogo said in disappointment.

"So everybody's forgotten that there's a donut shop next door?" Nick asked.

"I'm very much aware... of... I am not my game this week." Bogo said as he realized his blunder. "If anyone needs me, I'll be at Marleen's Donuts for the next ten minutes."

XXXX

"All right Dr. Mulerson, what is it you want... to show... what is that creature?" Draco said as he noticed the unfamiliar mammal in a glass tube that Dr. Mulerson was showing him in the cloning lab.

"Oh... this is something special I have created. By splicing together the genes of wolf, boar, and bat, I have created my first true chimera!" Dr. Mulerson proclaimed.

"Then why not hybridize a lion, a goat, and a serpent," Draco asked.

"Now that's just unimaginative... sir. But I do have a number of other more... conventional hybrids that conform to traditional mythological depictions." Dr. Mulerson said as he gestured to a few other tubes that had mammals that looked like griffons, and conventional chimeras, and more of what he had shown Draco in the first place. "But first... my own creation!" Dr. Mulerson said as he pressed a series of buttons on a console, and the large boar-bat-wolf creature fell out, spitting out the liquid from its mouth. "I give you, the pala'peli!"

XXXX

"Benjamin, I bought more donuts," Bogo said as he knocked on the door to the breakroom, with a furniture-dolly with boxes of donuts on it.

"Oh finally!" Clawhauser said as he unlocked a door, and took a donut box.

"Okay... this is far more, unhealthy then binge eating. I'm going to have to bring this to the Mayor... as Ben's physical trainer of course." Judy said furrowing her brow.

"Yeah, eating like this is one thing. Doing an amateur cosplay of Maulum over the last donut... how has he kept this job anyway?" Nick asked.

XXXX

"This just in, the ZPD has finally caught the mammal responsible for stealing from the cookie jar... it was a bear comedian, Frank Fozzie." Fabienne Growly said, as a picture of an orange-brown colored bear, sticking his paw into the cookie jar.

Davies was scuba diving alongside the penguins of the Zootopia City Zoo, along with other small mammals that wanted to swim with the penguins. Anna just looked through the glass of the tank, happy that the man that she loved was ecstatic... and also waiting for the inevitable when someone soiled the water.

"Jonathan would have fought tooth and claw for this sort of thing... swimming with adorable aquatic birds. He would have hated trying to swim in the wild with auk's." Anna said to herself wistfully.

"There's no such thing as a a...uck? Whatever you said, lady." A hippo calf said.

"Not anymore... they went extinct centuries ago," Anna said, trying not to lose her temper with the bratty hippo.

"Nuh uh, my mommy said that dinosaurs are extinct and-"

"I'm not going to argue with a child. RETURN TO YOUR MOTHER, OR FATHER IF HE IS HERE." Anna said, using her supernatural voice to get the hippo calf out of her ears. Davies saw this and looked sternly at Anna... or at least attempted to. As the penguin, he was swimming with. Wouldn't take, 'I need to look disappointed at my girlfriend for doing something she shouldn't do', as an excuse to slow down.

XXXX

"So let me get this straight, you're from the future-"

"And am Nick and Judy's hybrid child, the one that survived Dr. Mulersons initial experiments from Project Chimera. Yes, I just finished explaining all of this Aunt Selene." Pandora said.

"Okay... kind of weird being called 'aunt', and you want to help me develop counter-agents for Night Howlers, and Dr. Mulerson's nanobots?" Selene asked, still confused by the situation.

"Yes, what part of this isn't making sense to you?" Pandora asked, feeling irritated with the okapi scientist.

"Well... it's the talking watch if I'm honest." Selene said.

"To be fair, most of this isn't canon anyway. Especially the bits about the cookie jar, Clawhauser turning into Gollum, and MAYBE that stuff with Davies swimming with penguins" Clancy said, breaking the fourth wall.

"See what I mean?" Selene said.

XXXX

And now, the conclusion of our story... also to clarify, the hippo from the last zoo segment is the same one from the movie. The one that was in that montage of mammals yelling at Judy for giving them parking tickets. You know the one.

"Davies... Jonathan had what you have, or something close to it." Anna's voice explained.

"You mean he had Aspergers?" Davies asked.

"Or something close to it... the word didn't even exist back then. But as the years went by, he had made a name for himself as one of the best weaponsmiths in England. I served as his 'advocate' of sorts during those times." Anna's voice explained.

"But... how did he die? How does it relate to what happened to me at the museum?" Davies asked.

"I'm getting to that... one day... Jonathan was picking flowers. To find some manner of a cure for a sickness that had affected Daisy. The problem was... despite being married to a florist, and a botanist for around fifty years. He never really took an interest in the subject... and stumbled upon Midnicampum holicithias, or as you would know them better as... Night Howlers." Anna's voice explained, as the specter of Jonathan looked amidst the flowers, and ate a Night Howler, and he convulsed in pain, as the Legion of Night took control of him.

"Seriously?! Why would anyone be dumb enough to EAT wildflowers that they don't know what they are?!" Davies said, flabbergasted.

"Firstly, I will not tolerate insults towards Jonathan... not even from you. Secondly, as I said he did not take a serious interest in his wife's talents... man spent all his day illiterate, despite my insistence that he at least make the effort to learn how to read, because of his growing social standing, and what it entailed. Stupid, he was not... but stubborn? He was that in spades at times." Anna's voice explained.

"And... what happened after that?" Davies asked.

"Well... he has been possessed by the Legion of Night... same as you were. And he spread the Night Howler infection across the north of England, turning mammals, predator and prey alike into savage, nearly unstoppable monsters under its command." Anna's voice explained as the specter of the possessed Jonathan led a band of mammals to burn down a village.

"And... and what IS the Legion of Night?" Davies asked.

"It is... a complicated subject. But, essentially, the Legion of Night is an entity that takes control of mammals that have neurological differences from baseline mammals. Such as Down syndrome, autism... Asperger's syndrome, and other such disabilities. Why those at all... Vampiric scholars have been trying to figure that riddle out since time immemorial, and more so now that those disabilities have been given proper names. But, I'm getting off topic; the Legion of Night can take direct command of such mammals and in turn better control baseline mammals. All for one singular purpose... to tear down civilization, and restore its uncontested rule over mammalkind," Anna's voice explained.

"...and the reasoning there is?" Davies asked.

"In the distant past, the Legion of Night was effectively a god... and then, at some point, Vampirism came along. I don't know the full details myself, but the first Vampires were the first truly intelligent mammals on Earth. The first mammals to truly stand erect on their hind legs discovered fire and figured out an alternate diet for predators. We guided mammals out of the barbaric past... not entirely with altruistic goals. Mainly, it was just to get a steady supply of blood. The Legion of Night has hated us ever since, seeking to tear down what we built." Anna's voice explained.

"Yeah... now can we get back to the relevant history lesson, please?" Jonathan asked.

"Yes... King William of Normammaldy, brought his armies to bare against the Legion of Night. History remembers this, as the Harrying of the North, where he slaughtered his way across the northern lands of England to put down rebellious lords. The Tribunal of Night, the council that rules over all Vampire kind from the shadows, covered up the whole thing to keep the mortals from panicking at the possibility of supernatural threats." Anna's voice explained.

"...Jonathan didn't survive, did he?" Davies asked somberly.

"...no... In the final battle, I meant to free from the thrall of the Legion of Night. But William... that vainglorious lion disregarded what I had to say, my plan to stop the Legion of Night's rampage. He just ignored me, engaged my brother in single combat!... by the time I learned of his betrayal... it was... too late." Anna's voice explained as the specter of Jonathan was struck down by King William... and Annabeth looking on in anguish.

"Anna... I am so sorry." Davies said sympathetically.

"It was all I could do... to scream retribution and curses on his head...Jonathan, with his dying breath... tried to console me. But I was too angry to truly heed his words. I spent the next fifteen years. Plotting revenge on my brother behalf..." Anna's voice explained.

"So the whole thing with Draco-"

"Draco took my home, my family, and my life. William took my brother! Now... behold... how a King of mortals dies in the presence of the undead." Anna's voice explained.

XXXX

"William... King of England... Duke of Normammaldy." Annabeth said softly, her voice being carried on the wind. She approached the injured King William, his ankle shot with an arrow, dressed in a ragged and torn dress.

"What... what is the meaning of this?!" William yelled as he propped himself against a tree.

"So, you do not remember me... or the Battle of Legions Doom... when you killed. My. BROTHER." Anna said venomously as she ominously approached the wounded lion.

"...you were the one that sent all the killers, weren't you?" William said.

"Most of them... but now, at this hour... in this dark place, I will remind you. Who rules over the kingdoms of mammal kind, who brought the savage predator and the meek prey up from the muck of our ancient past, and who have guided the myriad species for millennia... and of whom you SPAT in the face of, at Legions Doom!" Anna said furiously as she transformed into her Vampiric form. "You were told that the Tribunal of Night would keep the truth a secret. I told you, to let me deal with Jonathan. But you... so craving for glory disregarded the wisdom the Nosferatu offered freely! LIKE SCRAPS FOR THE ROACHES!" Annabeth roared.

"And what... what do you intend to do with me?!" William said.

"Your only use to me is as FOOD." Annabeth bellowed as she drained the blood from William. The King roaring in terror as the rabbit Vampire drained him dry.

XXXX

"Apparently, Annabeth the Vengeful has anger issues," Davies said.

"You... are not wrong. After that, I took Daisy, and her family into France. Taking up the name Anna, and changing the family name to Blackpaw... and... well this takes a bit of explaining." Anna said.

XXXX

Davies found himself back at the apartment, in the living room on the coach. "Wait... is it over? Am I home?" Davies asked as he looked himself over.

"Not exactly," Anna said as she entered the room. "You see every century. A Vampire loses portions of the memories we accumulate over that hundred years. Well... loose is a little too strong a word in that regard, it's more like the exact details become distorted and fuzzy. If that didn't happen, we'd probably go insane from overwhelming information." Anna said as she sat beside Davies.

"...I am so confused right now." Davies said.

"Well... while they're not important details. I did say that I would not keep secrets from you... and unfortunately. There is only one reliable way to really explain things from here on out." Anna said as she took the TV remote, and pressed a button. On the TV an image appeared that said, 'Anna Blackpaw, this is your Unlife!' "Through one of the most insufferably boring things mortals have ever created... THE SLIDESHOW!" Anna said, a thunderstorm loudly breaking out, and accompanied by appropriate organ music

"You know, the scary theatrics aren't necessary. Not only because any life you've lived will have to be interesting by default, but because I have a bit of immunity from the hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of extended family members that have done this exact same thing with an actual slide projector and vacation slides." Davies said nonchalantly.

"Oh... well anyway. After killing King William, I was approached by the Cabal of the Unseen Eye. And by approached, I mean I was kidnapped in the dead of night while I was hunting for blood." Anna explained as she made the slideshow progress.

"And why was that?" Davies asked.

"Well killing a King or Queen, or other noteworthy mortal nobility. Tends to spread in the Vampire community... and thankfully they got to me first. Before the Tribunal of Night could. They understood and sympathized with my reason behind killing William and gave me a choice. Join the Cabal and enjoy the protection from direct punishment from the Tribunal for killing a Royal, without their permission or instruction. Or spend the rest of my un-life; having to keep a step ahead of the Tribunals agents... it was a clear no-brainer at the time." Anna explained as she made the slide progress.

"Okay... I'm with you so far. Three questions, what is a Cabal, why didn't they just approach you like a normal person, and why are you apparently immune from the Tribunal's judgment if you're a member of one?" Davies asked.

"It's basically a Vampire guild. Each Cabal has its own traditions, modus operandi when interacting with mortals, and general goals. And Cabals don't send out invitations when they want someone, they get them. As for why the Tribunal can't interfere with members of a Cabal, they mainly deal in matters directly relating between mortals and Vampire kind, and such they cannot directly interfere with a Cabal, without upsetting others, and risking their reprisal... and believe me. A meeting with them can be SOOO boring! I'm still amazed I didn't die from old age during that hearing." Anna said.

"How long did it actually go on for?" Davies asked.

"About forty-five minutes. So here are some fun memories!" Anna said excitedly. "This is my initiation ritual." There was a slide of Anna being blindfolded, and being hit in the tail with cricket bats. "This is when I had to drink blood from a Kraken." There was a slide of Anna clearly choking down a goblet of blood. "This is when I solved a Lament Configuration." There was a slide of ghosts flying out of a cube. "This is when I finally realized that the initiation ritual was more of a hazing." There was a slide of Anna looking angrily at an elephant, and she was naked and covered in various scars and bite marks.

"Wait... isn't that the same elephant that runs that ice cream place that Nick and Judy first met each other," Davies noted.

"Yes, he's actually the head, and founder of the Unseen Eye, three-thousand years old, and alive when the city of Carthage fell to the Romans. Anyway, this is when I learned that Sir Scath was a member." Anna said as she and her adoptive father hugged.

XXXX

"-and this is me with Hams Guttenberg when he invented the printing press," Anna said, showing a slide of Anna with the pig goldsmith and a fruit bat.

"Wait... is that Josephus?" Davies asked.

"Yep, the kid used to be an apprentice for Hams. But after Hams became more interested in printing things, he asked me if I knew any alchemical lore... I knew a little at the time, enough to make blood taste like fruit juice. But there was a place where a Vampire could learn the full breadth of Vampire Alchemy." Anna explained.

"So was he, crazy-"

"Not as he is... he actually went fully mental after our journey to Avalon," Anna said as she displayed a new slide. "This is us, making the journey to Avalon." There was a slide of the two mammals in a rowboat. "This is us, on Avalon." There was a slide of the boat landing the shore. "These are the gargoyle statues that dotted the island." There was a slide of a bare-chested male gargoyle with a six pack... then another... then another.

"So did you go for actual reasons, or to just stare at eye candy?" Davies asked in annoyance.

"There were a lot of these!" Anna protested. "Anyway, this is where I told Josephus that only a Vampire can actually learn Vampire Alchemy... and this is me caving into his pleadings to turn him into a Vampire." There was a slide of Anna doing just that. "This is us, going into the Temple of Nimue." There was a slide of the two entering a temple. "This is us, contending with the Temples guardians." There was a slide of the two mammals fighting against animated statues. "This is us meeting the last guardian." There was a slide of Anna and Josephus standing before an armored lion with sword drawn. "This is me, deposited back at our boat after I failed the trial." There was a slide of Anna back at the shore. "This is Josephus exiting the Temple." There was a slide of Josephus emerging from the Temple. "And this... was the first clear sign that he had lost his marble." There was a slide of Josephus, butt-naked and gnawing on his right thigh.

"And that's because?" Davies asked.

"Well... I didn't know going in, that those who seek the full knowledge of Vampire Alchemy have to sacrifice something to the Wraith of King Arthur... and Josephus chose his sanity to give up." Anna explained.

"I'm not even going to question if that was the REAL King Arthur," Davies said.

"The worst part is that the first thing he said after coming out. Was that flowers were planning to take over the world... not even Night Howlers. He specifically cited daisy's as the ones that would do us all in." Anna said.

XXXX

Eventually, Davies and Anna finally returned to the waking world. "So... you now know the truth," Anna said.

"Did you really, have to go into detail, about ALL, of your lovers?" Davies asked.

"For the last time, New Orleans was an accident!" Anna said.

"Still... knowing that you... and the Cabal of the Unseen Eye ultimately founded Zootopia... and the actual full details of who you are, I just have one thing to say," Davies said, Anna just looked downcast at the possible answer. "It changes, nothing," Davies said boldly.

"E-Excuse me?" Anna said in disbelief.

"Anna... what I said when you came in here... I was scared for my life, especially after you dragged me to a museum unveiling for an artifact that you not only created but was so prized by criminal elements, that I was nearly crippled for life," Davies said sardonically.

"How did your legs heal anyway?" Anna asked.

"A hybrid mage from the future with a talking watch made me all better, and gave me the Night Howler pellet gun that started this specific mess," Davies said with complete seriousness.

"Oh... well, I am grateful for your renewed faith in me," Anna said, the two bunnies then began to kiss.

"Miss Blackpaw, visiting hours end in ten minutes." A nurse said, peeping his head through the door.

"What? How long was I out?" Davies asked.

"Time passes slower in the mind... now get some rest, my love." Anna said as she and Davies continued to kiss each other.

XXXX

A few days later, Davies returned home. "So... you're okay that Anna is a Vampire?" Judy asked as she, Davies and Nick entered the apartment.

"It's still a lot to take in... but it's also given me some ideas for a story!" Davies said.

"Wait, Happy Feet-"

"Yes, Nick I know I just got out. But I've been stuck in with hospital food and nothing but cable TV for almost a whole week! AND I'M ITCHING TO WRITE!" Davies said as he bolted for his room.

"But Davies there's-"Judy tried to explain that since the Sagittarius Incident, Pandora. Nick and Judy's hybrid daughter from the future had been sleeping in Davies room. He left the room, with an unamused look on his face.

"Judy... why, is my room filled with scrap metal, tools, and half-empty pizza boxes?" Davies asked. His question was quickly answered, by Pandora bursting into the apartment, wearing only underwear, and a backpack.

"JUDY! NICK! I'M HOME!" Pandora shouted with a bad Cuban accent. Looking disoriented and disheveled.

"And she is?" Davies asked, grasping at his ears in rage at the unexpected noise.

"Pandora! I thought you were working with Selene today!" Judy said in surprise.

"Oh... oh I was. The thing ish... I've had a HECK, of a day, today. We teshted drugsh... lotsh... and LOTSH of drugsh." Pandora slurred.

"What kind of... drugs?" Davies asked suspishously.

"The kind that... that is... are like... like tranquilishers... VERY unconvenstional tranquilishers." Pandora said, slurring heavily.

"How did you even get home young lady?" Nick asked, worriedly.

"Shelene... gave me a lift. She's a nice lady... a very nice lady..." Pandora said as she stumbled towards the coach, and fell face first. "Clanshy... wake me up... when it's opportune to wake me up." Pandora murmured.

"Master Davies, I am beyond sorry for Miss Pandora's first impression. She has spent the entire day working on classified projects for the ZPD with Selene Samuel." Clancy said apologetically.

"She hash a cute shishter... pixie cut wig looks SOOO good on her. And her voish... iths like an angel." Pandora blurted

"And as a consequence, she is very much... disoriented. All I will say is that half of the time; she was being shot at with experimental darts." Clancy said.

"...Listen, Anna has told me weirder things than a talking wristwatch. So I'm just going to clear out the mess this hoodlum made." Davies said bitterly.

"Davies! She's your niece!" Judy said sternly.

"I never gave you, or any of our siblings slack for not keeping their sinks tidy. I'm not going to stop just because she's your daughter from the future... and I cannot believe I said something that weird, and it had relevant context." Davies said as he got a recycling bag and went into his bedroom.

"UNCLE DAVIESH GUESSH WHAT!... I wash a Guinee pig today!" Pandora blurted.

"Did one of those darts turn you into one?" Davies commented sardonically.

"There are roughly eleven-hundred and thirty-eight alternate timelines where Miss Pandora was turned into a full-blooded Guinee pig, and in three-hundred and twenty-seven the transformation was permanent. This is not the case in this timeline, however. Would you care to have some help in cleaning up the mess in your bedroom?" Clancy said as he transformed into a spider-like robot.

"Well seeing as how my sister and her boyfriend are just standing around. I'll take any help that's offered." Davies said.

"Thatsh shomfing elshe we did... I should shtop talking now." Pandora blurted as she began to loudly snore.

"Again, I apologize for her behavior. She's normally far better at interacting with people... usually." Clancy said as he helped Davies with the cleanup.
