The Battle of Zootopia raged, as the minions of Draco Long-Fang ran amok across the city. "So Clancy... mind explaining why you didn't just tell me upfront what was happening?" Pandora said irately at Clancy. "About what exactly Dr. Mullerson did to my mom?"
"Well, you know now," Clancy said.
"I could have done more... you had every opportunity to help me," Pandora said in anger. "You could have just told me that mom was a robot this entire time. But instead, you blink in and out of time, and keep me in the dark for months... MONTHS! That could have been spent actively preventing this calamity!" She fumed.
"I'm beyond sorry Pandora. But it has to happen this way or-"
"Just... shut up... Clancy." Pandora said in irritation. "Now... instead of rambling on and on about thing you'll never both to explain. Tell me, what I can do, to MINIMIZE the damages being done to Zootopia?"
"Understood," Clancy said. "At the very least what we'll face won't know about us... most of them anyway." He said to himself.

Pandora navigated the chaos ridden streets, looking for survivors and catching any isolated attackers off guard. This did not prepare her however, for a very unexpected attacker.
"HERE COMES THE PAIN TRAIN!" A voice with a Brooklyn accent said from behind Pandora. She then got an unexpected whack to her back. Causing Pandora to fall to her knee's in pain.
"Clancy... what just hit me?" She asked, reeling in pain.
"A baseball bat... an aluminum one to be specific," Clancy said.
"BONK!" The unknown voice said as Pandora was hit in the head, sending her prone on her back.
"WHO'S DOING THIS?!" Pandora yelled in pain.
"A mercenary who is currently employed by Dragon Enterprises," Clancy said.
Pandora then reached for the TSDD and used it to slow down time around her. She stood up, pained and bruised to look at her assailant. He was a hare and looked like a baseball player in red. "Fast one, ain't ya?" She said as she noticed that was running, even with time slowed. "But no one." She then took hold of the hare's bat. "NO ONE. Get's the drop on Pandora Wilde-Hopps." She then maneuvered the bat to catch the hare by the throat.
Then she returned the flow of time around her back to normal. And snagged the mercenary hare on his own bat. "What the?!- How..."
"You're going to tell me everything you know about yourself and your friends," Pandora said sinisterly.

Eventually, Pandora and the hare mercenary caught up with eight other mammals. "Scout?" A fox in a ski-mask said in surprise, as Pandora threw him to the ground.
"So... I've heard a little rumor that your being paid by Draco Long-Fang to aid in this madness," Pandora said as she held the bat behind her head.
"Da... Long-Fang promised us lots of money for job." A large brown bear with a chain gun and Russian accent said.
"Well... if that's the case," Pandora said with an unearthly calm. "Then I shall give my opinion on this career choice of yours. By giving you the ancestral battle cry of my mother's people." Pandora then jumped into the air with the bat aloft. "SILFLAY HRAKA!" She shouted as she cracked open the hare's skull.
"Sheila... you just signed your death warrant." A kangaroo with a sniper rifle said.
"And you yours!" Pandora quipped, and she began cutting down the mercenaries. Smashing their head in one by one. Right up until she tried to do this to the bear. When that didn't work, she strangled him with the bat. "You ever thought you'd die like this?"
"Dah... on... sandvich." The bear said as he breathed his last.
"Okay..." Pandora said as she stood on the bear's corpse. "How low does someone's self-esteem have to be to want to die chocking?"
"If you knew his life story, it would make WAY too much sense," Clancy said.
Then Pandora heard something and looked to investigate. That was when she found the Norse god Loki, officers Harry Carrotson and Sawa Otocyon cornered by several Dr. Mulersons roboticized mammals. Led by her mother.
Pandora pulled out a syringe, one with nanobots designed to undo the robotization. Then she ran and jumped up on Judy. "GET OUT OF MY MOMMY!" Pandora shrieked as she pounced on Sierra Ultima, clawing like a savage and trying to use a syringe. "MOMMY NEEDS TO TAKE HER MEDICINE." Pandora wailed
"...with a grown woman screaming like a lunatic," Loki said in bewilderment. He then used his staff to fire a laser at Sierra Ultima. Knocking both it, and Pandora to the ground. "Now, about this syringe? What is in it child... what is so important about it. That you use it as a weapon against your mother?" Loki said as he walked over and picked up the syringe.
"Buddy... that's the only thing that can free my mother from Mullersons control." Pandora growled with clenched teeth.
"Is it?... well what would happen if, she were injected with this substance now? Would Sierra Ultima remain in control of Judy's body? Or would she somehow regain control? These are the risks you are taking." Loki said ominously.
"It is no matter. Dr. Mullersons plan is already in motion, Draco Long-Fang is distracted, and will likely be killed soon." Sierra Ultima said as it stood up and flew off. "We return to Long-Fang Mansion, and take command of Dragon Enterprises." Sierra Ultima said, as every other clone and hybrid in the attacking force turned into robots, and flew off into the night sky.

At the Long-Fang Mansion. Pandora had finished shearing the rams that had worked with Dawn Bellwether during the Nighhowler Crisis. "Was that necessary?" Clancy asked as Pandora gathered up the wool.
"You mean humiliating three Prey supremacists?... yeah. It is necessary." Pandora said proudly. "Now about Dr. Mullersons files?" She asked.
"I have downloaded all files regarding his research and the developments he made into gene-splicing," Clancy said. "But. I do not believe this can be overstated. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO USE THIS." He stated. "YOU HAVE NO FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR BIOLOGY LIKE THIS! IT WILL TAKE YEARS OF EDUCATION, JUST TO USE THIS WITHOUT SERIOUS INCIDENT."
"I'll cross that bridge when I come to it," Pandora said, completely ignoring that Clancy was yelling at her. "Now show me some security camera footage. I want to see how dad is doing." She said. Clancy, obliged. Showing Nick catching up with Judy.
"JUDY!" Nick shouted as he caught up to Sierra Ultima, with Judy's skin activated.
"N-Nick?" She said as Sierra Ultima transformed its arms into laser cannons.
"Judy... I know you're in there somewhere. I don't know what it is... I know you better than to be dominated by an AI? True love?... couldn't say, even if I did know." Nick said. "My point is... there's something I've wanted to say... I actually mean to wait but... there's a good chance that neither of us will be leaving this place alive." Nick added somberly.
"E-E-Elaborate." Sierra Ultima stuttered.
"When we first met... I assumed that you were just like other Prey, being nice to my face, and insulting me behind my back... but during the Missing Mammal Case. You showed me there was more to you then meets the eye... that you were truly dedicated to making the world a better place. You showed me... I could be more, then what I resigned myself to be, that each of us... could be special, that I didn't have to be a bad guy." Nick said as he knelt before Sierra Ultima's guns. "Was I disappointed by the press conference... well of course I was. Was I touched by your apology when you made the connection between Preds going savage and Night Howlers? Yes... and since then. I haven't regretted a day with you. And... and I want to ask if you would do me the honor... of marrying me?" Nick asked as he pulled out a box, and inside was an engagement ring.
"Oh man... this is so much better then what happened in the timeline in the first place!" Pandora squeed.
Sierra Ultima started to spark and scream, its skin fluctuating wildly between white plastic and Judy's fur. "Oh... oh man... I thought I'd never get out of there." Judy said in relief. "And to answer your question Nick... yes, I will marry you," Judy said with a warm smile as she took the engagement ring. "But... let's deal with Yorick first, shall we?" Judy said.
Nick stifled a laugh. "Really? That's his real name?"
"Yeah, Yorick Titan-Ear. That's his birth name... and I am SO glad, that you didn't see the production of 'Good Ship Lollipop'." Judy said.
"I'll take your word for it... any ideas on how to get close to... Titan-Ear?" Nick said, failing not to giggle.
"I do... but you have to trust me," Judy asked.
"Trust you with- OW!" Nick shouted as Judy punched him.
"I'm sorry, but this needs to be convincing," Judy said as she wailed on her fiancé.
"And this is just cathartic... even if it's not actually to mom!" Pandora said.
"You need to find a hobby... BADLY," Clancy said in disbelief as he began hacking through the mansions computer systems.
"What are you doing exactly?" Pandora asked.
"I'm taking control here, as well as deleting the Sierra AI's," Clancy said as he typed away on the computer keyboard. "And... there! All except for the one that was controlling Judy. That one was downloaded out of the network before I could get to it." He said.
"Does Mullersons still have control of the roboticized mammals?" Pandora asked.
"No... and according to camera footage. Your parents have already confronted Dr. Mullerson." Clancy said.
"Give me something to taunt the old fart with," Pandora said as Dr. Mulerson screamed for help on his tablet, Clancy obliged. "I'm afraid they can't answer you," Pandora said. "See, Clancy and I MIGHT have deleted the Sierra AI's. So now, instead of the armed forces playing tag with your robots... there inbound again. With some VERY angry mammals who would love nothing more, then to tear you limb for limb... and just to clarify. This was our plan the whole time." Pandora said.
"And your the biggest liar in this building," Clancy muttered to himself.

Finally, Pandora returned to 2038... and she fell on her knee's. "I'm finally home... I'M FINALLY HOME!" She yelled as she wept tears of joy. She then jumped onto her coach. "OW!... I completely forgot how firm this thing was." She said in pain. "Still... it's so good to be back."
"And I presume that you're going to get to work on your plans?" Clancy said.
"Yeah... but first, I'm just going to enjoy the present I left behind for nearly a whole year. Then I'm going back to school!" Pandora said.
"And despite Davies not even being dead yet in this present... I can already hear him spinning in his grave." Clancy said in frustration as Pandora went around her apartment, joyfully embracing anything and everything in her apartment. Eventually, there was a knock at the door, and eventually, Pandora answered it.
On the other side of the door, was a glowing white-furred creature with rabbit-like ears, another pair of ears that vaguely resembled ram horns, deer-like hooves on his feet, and large black eyes, he was also about the same size as Pandora. "So was the door locked this time? Or was I knocking for almost ten minutes for nothing?"
Pandora then clutched her head as it began to throb with pain, as images went through her head of who this being was. This was her brother, Olaf. A Spirit Guardian that her parents adopted as an egg from Loki during there honeymoon. The two had grown up together, as close as two siblings could be... right up until the string of events surrounding Elijah Camelski, and Judy's faked death. When they went there separate ways. Pandora threw herself into working on the Time and Space Displacement Device. While Olaf took to wandering the world as a sort of ecologically themed superhero.
"Oh no," Olaf said as Pandora's nose bled and she fainted. "Have you been goofing around with the timeline again?"
Pandora then explained what she had done. And that Olaf didn't exist the timeline she originated from.
Then after Olaf's visit, she began her new adventure... and that ended when she found herself stymied. For her mixed heritage, unorthodox education, and for not subscribing to Socialism and Communism. In her frustration, she smashed random buttons on the TSDD, that led to her being transported to a strange place. Completly white... except for an enormous tower.
"Huh... well, whatever this is. It has to be better than listening to some idiot rattle how I'm sub-mammal for not blindly following a failed socio-economic philosophy." Pandora said to herself as she went inside the large doors of the larger tower.
Clancy could only mutter to himself. Knowing full well what was going to transpire after this.
