The author was busy writing this story, then the robotic supervillain Ultron broke into his study. "Attention meatbag! I have come with a cease and desist order!" The author just rolled his eyes.
"If this is about the entire 'psychotic robot turns city and/or town into meteor' thing. I just want to say that this is all fanfiction. That's it."
XXXX
Elmo the little red monster sat at a table in a dingy tavern, across from him was the infamous Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. All the while a bard was singing 'Toss a coin to your Witcher'. "You know, Elmo has been in a lot of strange places. The Torkelsons immediately springs to Elmo's mind." The red monster said. "But crossing over into a universe based on Eastern-European folklore, which started as a series of short stories by an ex-fur trader, then became a number of shows and video games... this is a first for Elmo, Elmo's not going to lie."
"Yeah... well you're a puppet," Geralt said bluntly. The entire tavern went silent.
Elmo inhaled sharply as if he were repressing the urge to introduce the veteran monster hunter to a world of pain even Geralt had never known. "Let's just try to get through this like civilized individuals." Elmo then pressed his nose into Garalts face.
The stoic Witcher then suppressed a laugh. "Sorry... your face just looks goofy up close."

Pandora was onboard a satellite in orbit of Earth. With her were a pair of robots that looked like they were cobbled together from random junk. "Alright, Tom, Crow. How's that fanfiction of our movie today coming along?" She asked.
"Slowly, I hate this movie and everything about it. I don't want anything more to do with it." Crow T. Robot complained.
"Well, I'm almost done with my great epic." Tom Servo said, proudly gesturing at a giant pillar of pages.
"Holy cow! How long is that?" Pandora said in shock.
"Yeah, it's still another hundred-thousand page before it's done," Tom said.
"Tom, this movie isn't even that long!" Crow said.
"True but it'll take this much effort and more just to make it palatable!" Tom said.
XXXX
Nick and Judy were sitting on a coach. "You know... this fanfiction stuff is pretty wild," Nick said as his tail turned into a bushel of snakes.
"You're telling me," Judy said as her legs suddenly turned into tentacles. "At least Bellwether isn't the only bad guy in this thing."
XXXX
"Boy Elmo tell ya Geralt," Elmo said when his crossover with Geralt was finished. "That. Was. Intence."
"That's just part of the job for me." Geralt said. "Though I have to ask... why am I in this 'previously on' segment? Pretty sure that if I appeared at all in this goofy fanfiction that I wasn't a Witcher."
"The guy whose writing this is crazy," Elmo said, then his head opened revealing a propeller beanie, and flew away.
"I'd argue if that explanation wasn't the most likely explanation for all this craziness." Geralt said begrudgingly.
XXXX
Nick and Judy were dancing on the ceiling.
XXXX
"Okay! This is just getting ridiculous!" Ultron complained as he looked over the fanfiction being written.
"My story, my non-sequiturs." The Author said incredulously.
XXXX
"KERMIT!" Big Bird said as one of his oldest friends came to visit and leaped into his wings for a hug. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too Big Bird," Kermit said. "It's always good to come back to Sesame Street... if only for a brief visit that Disney can't be allowed to know about."
XXXX
The future Judy stepped through a time portal. "Excuse me... but my daughter told me that I could trust you to help me with something."
XXXX
And now, the continuation.
XXXX
Nick and Judy were sneaking past the patrols in Forestvale. Eventually arriving at Forestvale town hall. They snuck inside and found the ones most responsible for the occupation of the otherwise peaceful town.
Draco Long-Fang. Vampire lord of the Cabal of the Night Dragons.
The Mule. Mad scientist, formerly a flesh and blood mule, turned potential robot conquerer.
And finally, the Legion of Night. Primordial spirit of rage and anger bound within the robotized body of an Autistic gazelle.
"We've almost finished rounding up the mortal survivors," Draco said. "There are still pockets hiding across the town. But my hunters will bring them to you, Mule."
"Excellent." The Mule said.
The Legion of Night just growled. "A pox on your ancestral lines! I was promised the ruin of civilization! And yet we sit here on our... our respective upper appendages while you corral the mortals!" The entity ranted.
"For the last time, this is necessary in order for us to conquer this world." The Mule said. "We need an army, and before we can move out, we need as many robotic soldiers as we can convert. Then, and only then will it be an opportune time to activate the jets, and launch this town into orbit.
"And the resulting shockwaves and dust from the fall of Forestvale will blot out the sun. And thanks to the rituals my Cabal's sorcerors are performing, that will actually happen instead of dispersing after a time." Draco Long-Fang said.
"Enough! Speak to me again ONLY you've decided to stop sitting on your hands." The Legion of Night stormed out of the room.
"We got our target," Nick said as he and Judy followed after the Legion of Night. Eventually, the Legion of Night was alone, and from the vents, the couple leaped down to take the entity off-guard. Fitting the Legion of Night's host into a bottle.
"Thank goodness for magic. You think she got a good look at us?" Judy said.
"The Legion's host?" Nick asked. "Hopefully not. Now let's get back to Angela's before anyone notices."
XXXX
The two of them returned to the home of Angela Wilde with the Legion of Night in tow. "Alright who ordered the Eldritch spirit in a robot body?" Nick said, pretending to be a pizza delivery boy.
"That was me." Loki then gave Nick a stack of money. "That should cover everything and the tip."
Nick just looked confused. "But... I'm just joking."
"So am I.," Loki said as the money turned into a swarm of moths. "Remember who you're dealing with Nickolas. And be grateful that I don't use that power to cheat mortals in the service industry... the average mortal life is bad enough without being cheated."
"We got the Legion of Night. Nobody saw us." Judy said tersely.
"I'd chastise your manners if we didn't have more pressing issues," Anna said as she took the magic bottle. "Loki, are you sure if this will work?"
"I am, now just be quiet and let me do the talking. Fool's probably irate enough that he's working with a Vampire already." Loki then uncorked the bottle. "Noctus'nyx de Legiuncula. Loki Foxfeyson demands an audience with you!"
The Legion of Night let out a blood-curdling roar. "Explain yourself Aesir!"
"I am the one asking questions here! Now tell me why your working with Draco Long-Fang, and Yorrick Titan-Ear?" Loki demanded.
"I was bound within this form... the mortal known as Yorrick Titan-Ear told me that this was the work of the Unclean Ones!" The Legion of Night ranted.
"For those of you taking notes. 'Unclean Ones' in this context is Vampires or really any kind of undead." Loki said. "I'm afraid to tell you this. But you were deceived. This technology is Yorrick's work, it was by his will and his machinations with Draco Long-Fang that you were bound to this body."
The Legion of Night roared again in anger. "THEY WILL PAY FOR THIS!"
"And they will... but we need to know your part in this," Loki said.
"I... I believe I was meant to be some manner of control over the robotic drones that they were making. But why a Vampire would have anything to do with-"
"Look, Yorrick is playing Draco for a fool. Draco thinks that he's wanting to help him attain dominion over the mortals. While in reality, Yorrick Titan-Ear wishes to make all the people of the world his mindless robotic slaves." Loki continued. "So here's what you're going to do. You're going to turn off your thralls, and you're going to allow us to vaccinate your current host against your influence and the nano-bots that transformed this poor, unfortunate soul."
The Legion of Night snarled for a moment. "Fine. The drones have been deactivated."
Loki took the Legion of Night out of the bottle, and deftly took out two syringes and injected them into the Legion of Night. Turning the host back into a fairly ordinary gazelle. "I... thank you." The gazelle said meekly.
"Apologies for not freeing you sooner," Loki said. "But we've had pressing matters."
"Yeah... I was aware of everything that the Legion made me do... it was horrible. The rage... the anger, the violence." The gazelle said. "My name is Bluma Hornsey."
"A pleasure, but for the time being you're going to have to stay in the bottle," Loki said. "Nothing personal but this situation is far from safe, and your too big to fit in this house in the first place."
"Well, now what?" Judy said.
"I'll call Warmaster Guerrier to tell him-" Then the entire area shook. "Tell him we don't have as much time as we believed!" Anna said in shock.
XXXX
"SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ENTIRE TOWN IS NOW FLYING!" Collin Meerkatly yelled as the town flew up. "IF I DON'T SURVIVE THIS, I'M SORRY FOR NOT BEING HOME MORE AND SPENDING TIME WITH MY FAMILY!"
XXXX
The future Nick and Judy saw as the town was raised up out of the ground by the advanced jets that the Mule and Draco installed for their insidious plan. "I suppose we can't just go back to before Forestvale takes off?" Future Nick asked of his wife.
"I doubt Clancy would be that generous." Future Judy said. "Though thankfully, we don't need to worry about this."
"Yeah I just wish we got here sooner is all," Nick said as the IDL base flew towards Forestvale, flanked by a number of heli-carriers. "And according to scanners, there are Vampires all around the crater where Forestvale was."
Future Judy just smiled. "Well, that's just a bonus. Get them up to Forrestvale."
XXXX
Nick, Judy, and Anna ran through the streets of Forestvale. "So what do we do now?" Nick asked. "We kinda just ran out of the house without
"We find the controls for these jets and try to get this hunk of earth back down safely," Judy said.
"That's an objective, not an entire plan young lady!" Anna said in irritation. "Besides, it's just the three of us while Loki is tending to the others. Even with my martial prowess, how do we get through?"
"Yeah... funny thing about that." Nick then took out the Mask of Loki. "I remembered to bring it this time." He then donned the Mask and turned into his zoot suit glad green-faced persona. "And besides... you managed to keep your old robotic abilities didn't you?" He said to his wife.
"Yes, but I'm still flesh and blood. I may be stronger than I was before being robotized but that doesn't make me invincible." Judy pleaded.
Nick then pulled out a sci-fi tank. "No, but this thing is." Everyone then got onboard the tank and sped through to the town hall. "AVON CALLING!" He then fired off the main gun at the front doors of the town hall, via smashing on a big red button with a cartoon mallet. "You know I really should use this thing more-"
"No, that would become a crutch. And frankly, the Mask is too chaotic to be reliable in law enforcement." Judy said. "It's frankly a miracle that nobody has been seriously hurt by that thing."
"In all seriousness though. We can't afford to stop and argue." Anna said as she exited the tank. "I'll find Draco, you two find Titan-Ear."
The two split up and snuck through the town hall. They saw that the Mule drones had been reactivated. "Of course removing the Legion of Night from this whole affair doesn't get rid of the robots," Nick complained.
"Nick we need to foc- wait?" Judy said as she heard a whirring noise from outside. "Am... am I hearing helicopters?"
"Either that or the ventilation system," Nick said, the two kept crawling as the sound grew loud enough for Nick to hear. "Okay... that can't be good."
XXXX
Elsewhere in the town hall. Anna found Draco sitting in front of a fireplace while playing the violin. "Ode to Joy... of course you'd play such an inspiring song for such grim context," Anna said venomously to Draco.
"Feh!" Draco threw the violin into the fireplace. "I never cared for what these kallo-hearted mortals made with their hands. So self-absorbed with what little glory they can gain in a single lifetime. This generation of mortals is even more kallo then your kind Inle."
"Believe it or not Draco, I didn't seek you out to hear you rant and monologue about how loathsome you find this day and age." Anna then took out the Vampire vaccine. "I've come to end your reign of terror... right here, right now."
Draco scoffed. "Don't be foolish. You couldn't kill me when you surrendered your mortality. And you were stupid enough to try to turn me over to the Tribunal of Night after the Battle of Zootopia."
"Yes... but I will bring you the humiliation you so rightly deserve!" Anna then charged, the two fought briefly, exchanging hits and blows until. During the melee, she stuck Draco with the Vampire vaccine. "Gotcha..."
Draco then started to wildly convulse and howl in pain. "What... what have you done!?"
"Just wanted to see if this thing worked," Anna said, she then heard a noise from deep within Draco's chest. And she grinned with satisfaction. "Now hear this Draco Long-Fang. I have taken your unlife from you. And by my word, you shall live out the rest of your days in misery until death by old age takes you. Never to be restored as a Vampire."
"What... no," Draco said in disbelief. "This... this should not be possible."
"Yet, it is. Now be a good little wolf." Anna said as she looked the old wolf in the eyes. "GO. TO. SLEEP." Draco obeyed and fell asleep. "Now, to find that benighted-" She then heard loud crashing as the Mule flew through the building with Nick and Judy in his hooves. "-mule..." She then went to follow the Mule.
When the Mule flew outside of the town hall. Everyone saw the source of the helicopter noise. "Wait... are those aircraft carriers flying?" Judy said in surprise.
"Yes... yes, they are." The Mule noted, just as surprised as everyone else by the site of the IDL fleet.
Then the Vampires of the Unseen Eye and their allies descended upon Forestvale. "Well Mullerson, it looks like the tide has turned," Judy said confidently.
"Not. Yet." The Mule said, he then threw the couple down, and with his drones in tow engaged the Vampires and the IDL fleet.
"So... how do you think this all went down in their timeline?" Nick asked as he and Judy stood up.
"Probably without the fleet of flying ship... thingies," Judy said. "We'll ask our future selves when this is done."
The battle lasted for many hours, both on the hunk of dirt that was Forestvale, and in the sky above it. At the center was the Mule and the one-eyed Judy Hopps from the future. The two combatants fought like savage lions, with the Mule using every advanced weapon on his robotic body, while Judy from the future used her advanced training and years and experience to make up the difference.
By the following morning. Future Judy had pinned down the Mule to the ground. Driving her Omni-Knife into the robotic mule's chest. "You feel that Titan-Ear?" The one-eyed rabbit said with her voice filled with contempt. "That's what comeuppance feels like you MONSTER!" She roared as she tore out the Mules power source, causing all of the robots in the general area to disengage from fighting, land, and deactivate themselves.
"Finally... he's dead and we can actually confirm it." Future Nick said as he joined his wife.
XXXX
Several days later, Forestvale was placed back where it belonged by the IDL ships. At the home of Angela Wilde and her grandparents. The future Nick and Judy met up with their past selves.
Future Judy scowled as she slapped her past self across the face. "What in Frith's name were you two thinking?!" She said in frustration.
"You two could have gotten yourselves killed!" Future Nick said.
"Or, 'nice to see you youngers again'." Present Nick said sardonically.
"Yeah, if you two didn't put yourselves into danger like this I'd play along with this." Future Nick said.
"Why'd you hit me?" Present Judy asked as she stood up.
"Why'd you charge into a warzone with your husband without any thought given to YOUR children!?" Future Judy demanded. "Yes, we were scanning for you two particular. Want to know why?" Her younger self didn't answer. "Because... we all what's best. We all want to make this world a better place. I..." She then hugged the young police officer. "We just don't want you to repeat the mistakes we make."
"Which brings me to a question... that I'm actually kind of afraid to have answered." Future Nick said. "Kid... is Angela alive?" This question was answered when Angela exited the house with a look of trepidation on her face. The Future Nick teared up at the sight of the young Vixen. "For... for context. In the original timeline... when Judy and I tried to help here before. We... caused Forestvale to be destroyed and Angela and grandma and grandpa died and-" He then ran to Angela and hugged her.
"Should I even react to this?" Angela said as the elder Wildes investigated the commotion, and the future Nick took them into the hug.
"I'm just happy that you survived." Future Nick said with tears in his eyes.
"Look... we all want to save the world." Future Judy said. "It's just that sometimes we make things an even bigger mess than we sought to fix... I'm sorry for not telling you or your Nick any of this but... but after everything with Pandora and that whole mess where you two tried to figure out why Bogo went from police chief to head of the old ZVRP and back again-"
"Stop it," The younger Judy said. "You blame yourselves for nearly destroying the totality of existence because of negligent parenting. But that's no reason to cut us out of your lives, or keep us out of the loop." She said. "For Frith's sake your us! As much as your existence makes our heads hurt... your self-loathing won't help anyway."
Tears started to form in Future Judy's good eye. "I'm such a dumb-"
The younger Judy hugged her doppelganger. "We'll treat you and your Nick later... let it all out." She said as the elder Judith Laverne Hopps sobbed. "You weren't exaggerating when you said bunnies were emotional." She said to Nick.
XXXX
Meanwhile, at Blackpaw Manor. Anna Blackpaw was sitting across from an irate Davies Hopps. "Davies... I'm sorry I didn't explain myself and worried you for several days without even so much as texting you. I give no excuse for these shortcomings." Anna said regretfully. "I should have told about my involvement with the Battle of Forestvale, and my attempts with helping the people of Forestvale to recover from their ordeal."
Davies was fuming. "Don't. Add anything to that list of things that distracted you. I was terrified for your well being. I was in a constant state of anxiety and worry... but I can't be angry for you wanting to help people." He said. "People like you... undead abomination or not. This world is always in short supply of those who do good because it's good. Not because some manner of authority dictates what is right and wrong for the sake of maintaining or exploiting power."
"Thank you..." Anna said. "Which... brings me to something I learned right before the Battle of- and there he is." She said as Clancy exited a time portal.
"Here is another vaccine," Clancy said as he gave the vaccine to Anna, and hastily went through another time portal.
"Wait... was he serious?" Davies said.
"Yes, not only did he give me a vaccine for Vampirism that Pandora will make in the future... but it works. I tested it on Draco Long-Fang himself. And... and I want to become mortal." Anna said.
Davies was floored by this news. "Wait... you seriously mean that we could-"
"Become married without running into the ickiness that it would normally entail in this present context? Yes." Anna said. "But I won't do it right away... before you say anything about this Davies. I have over one-thousand years worth of friends, and family that... that need to know about my choice."
"Okay... how long could that take?" Davies asked.
Anna cringed. "There are about ten-thousand or so Blackpaws all together, plus there are all my friends in the Cabal and in the other Cabals and... other entities." She said sheepishly.
"I see... I've waited over two years to marry you. I can wait a little longer if you wish." Davies said. "I'm still mad that you kept me in the dark about your well being."
XXXX
In the wilderness surrounding Forestvale, a Mule drone was wandering, battered and broken. It was the last vestige of the Mule himself. A relative scrap of his vindictive mind cast into a broken and barely functioning body. "I'll show them... I'll show them all." He muttered to himself over and over again as he limped through the forest.
"And showed us you did... you showed us all how far hate in any form and a college degree can take you." Future Judy said as she stepped out of a portal.
"You... how?" The Mule demanded.
"See, I'm from the future. A future where you kept returning and trying to turn all Mammalkind into your soulless minions." Future Judy said. "You menaced the world year after year, and my husband and I had to thwart you, year... after... hrakan... year. But somehow you always returned. Uploading yourself into a new body here, sealing away a part of your consciousness in the internet there. But now... now we can finally be done with you." Then two beings stepped out of the portal.
Robots, but they looked like nothing the Mule had ever seen before. "Is this the guy you wanted us to deal with?" One of the robots asked.
"Absolutely." Future Judy said. The two robots then turned their arms into powerful devices. And proceeded to shoot the Mule with powerful waves.
The Mule screamed in pain. "MY MIND! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY MIND!?"
"Nothing serious... we're just ripping out the data regarding your research into biology, physics, and engineering. And downloading it into our data-networks for our own universe." The second robot said.
The Mule kept screaming as he felt his knowledge ripped from his being. As little by little, his grasp on these sciences was drained away. "Data assimilated... and let me tell you something that was a LOT of data." The first robot said.
"And now, for the coup de grace." Future Judy then took out her gun.
And thus came the end of the tragic life of Yorrick Titan-Ear. Who was also known as Dr. Mullerson, and later the Mule. "Well from what you told us, he would've had it coming even if he didn't want to take over the world." The second robot said.
"Agreed. When your creator is done, make certain to return your findings to this universe." Future Judy said.
"We can't, there's no telling what this could do." The second robot said.
"Come on Bo. We came all this way just to help." The first robot said.
"Bea's right. This data is native to this universe. Your father might be one of the few people who can be trusted to use this responsibly." Future Judy said.
"Fine," Bo said as he rolled his eyes. Then he and his sister went through a portal back to their home universe.
"Just another day, for Judith Laverne Hopps." Future Judy said to herself.
