Episode 18 – From Rabbits to Foxes

July 8th, 2019

"Alright, make sure NOT to hit yourself this time." The golden robot said, stepping up to his creation.

The creation itself had a relatively barrel shaped body, with a cylindrical head. On both sides of the head there was a curving antenna, each ending in a large ball. In the middle of the cylinder head was a scowling monster face with jagged teeth. On its silver body was a crank, which seemed to flick back and forth as it moved.

Its limbs were mostly red, the legs having black wires that hung off. Both arms had gun-metal grey tubes ending at the wrists, while only its left arm ended in a large metal claw, which spun around before it gave a salute to Yogostein.

"Yes, sir!" It said. "Last time was a disaster!"

"Now that we've gotten that out of the way," The commanding robot thrust his arm towards the sky. "Let Operation: Shocker begin!"

The robot grabbed onto its crank with its normal hand, and began spinning it around. Electricity began building up between its antennae, which then fired upwards into the sky. The electricity quickly scattered across the air, forming into a number of bright yellow currents that danced, before they start to crash down like lightning.

As the lightning struck down, it hit numbers of buildings, as well as the ground. Lights went out, glass shattered, and large chunks of the ground had been destroyed. The two laughed as they watched the chaos around them.

"Perfect, I'm already doing better than Enter did!" Yogostein gloated. "Now we just have to hope those rangers don't show up."

"Keep hoping."

The two robots turned around to face the three Zoorangers, already transformed. The fox rubbed his head. "Do you guys really have to do this so early in the morning?" He groaned. "We have other things to do, you know."

"Why would I care!?" Yogostein yelled. "I'm supposed to be destroying this city, including you!"

"Alright, let's just get this over with." Blue sighed as she stepped forward, daggers drawn.

Yogostein quickly pulled out a handful of nuts and bolts, and tossed them into the air. As they fell back down to the ground, they quickly reformed into a small army of Ugutz. The robots beeped and clanked as the started their approach.

The bronzed robot turned to his cohort. "You distract them while I set up the amplifier." He whispered. "Make sure they don't find out!"

"Got it!" The monster stepped to the crowd of Ugutz, and pushed some out of the way. It pointed its claw towards the three rangers. "Prepare to struck down by GENERATOR BANKI, fools!"

He began rapidly turning the crank on his chest. "Attack them while I'm doing this!" He yelled, pointing the claw forward again.

The Ugutz responded, and hobbled towards the three rangers, who drew their weapons.

"Are we seriously fighting a paw-crank generator?" Red asked.

"Guess this is what happens when these guys run out of ideas." Silver responded.

"Alright, here's the plan." Blue started. "Gather the Ugutz into a group, but keep ourselves in the middle!"

"So, the plan is getting swarmed?" Red said, confused. He shrugged. Her plans usually worked out, no matter how weird and bad they sounded, so he decided to play along.

The three moved into the swarm of robots. Red pulled out his blade, and leaped into the air, slashing a handful of the robots backwards, before pulling out the cannon and blasting them backwards. Silver quickly blocked a few attacks from some nearby Ugutz, knocking them back before striking them back into the crowd.

Blue followed suit, firing her twin blasters towards the monsters, knocking them back one at a time. She then rushed in with her daggers, leaping on to the tops of the robot's heads. She made her way to the center of the group, hopping from head to head. She looked over to the monster, who seemed to be building up an extra amount of electricity in its head.

Perfect.

"SILVER!" She yelled to the wolf, twirling one of her digits in the air. "Use your whip thing!"

The wolf caught the sign, and pushed a few Ugutz back into the group. He gave her a thumbs-up. "Got it!"

He spun the guard on his sword, and it let out its standard cry of "MOON MODE". He quickly lashed it forward, summoning a whip which wrapped around the entire army of Ugutz, binding them in a large circle.

The rabbit quickly jabbed one of her daggers into the head of an Ugutz, disabling it. She motioned towards Red. "Oh, it looks like my dagger got stuck!" She yelled, sounding, and acting, very over-dramatic.

There was a pause as the fox looked at her, confused. She nudged her head towards the monster. Now he got it.

He quickly leaped onto the top of the group of Ugutz, and headed over to the rabbit. The tow stood on top of the struggling Ugutz' heads, and waited.

"Uh, what are you two doing?" Silver asked as he tugged at the sword, keeping the crowd together. Blue gave a quiet shushing motion towards him.

The monster finally finished cranking, electricity beaming from its antennae. "What are those idiots doing?" It said, looking at the two mammals just standing there. "They're easy targets, they don't even realize what I'm doing!"

Blue rolled her eyes.

The lighting flew up from the monster's antennae, and hovered directly over the two. "And just in case you think of escaping…" The monster waved its hand, causing the thunder to split up into multiple different bolts hovering above them.

The two looked at each other.

"HERE IT COMES!"

The two quickly leaped out of the way, as the lightning crashed down. The electricity was drawn directly to the dagger in the middle, giving them some extra time to escape.

The two landed to the ground, and looked back as the Ugutz began to spasm with electricity. They all exploded simultaneously, the dagger flying out of the blast. Blue quickly leaped up to catch it, and landed as the smoke began to clear.

"W-what!?" The monster cried as it saw what had happened. "You tricked me!"

"You might be electrical," Red started. "But you certainly aren't very bright."

The monster stomped one of its feet in frustration. "You'll regret this soon!" It shouted, pointing its claw towards them. "Soon, Operation: Shocker will be one hundred percent ready, and you will all be reduced to dust!"

It quickly began turning the crank, and fired the electricity into the ground, causing an explosion. As the smoke cleared, it was obvious the monster had vanished.

Nick let out a yawn, stretching as he and the other untransformed. "Guy certainly is overdramatic, huh?"

"We need to keep an eye out." Judy said to them. "There's obviously going to be something dangerous happening soon."

"But while we wait," Nick interrupted. "We still have about three hours of sleep left to get."

"So, see you guys at work." Max said, before walking off.

"See ya, Wolfsbane." Nick joked, before rubbing his eyes. "God, I'm exhausted."

"I am too, don't worry."

---

"Man, what a great rest!" Nick shouted as he exited his room. "Who's ready for a great day?"

"I am!" Judy said, as she performed some stretches. "I just know it's gonna be great!"

"What's got you so sure about that?" The fox asked, sitting down on the couch.

"You know."

"No, I don't."

She smacked herself. "I must've dreamt about telling you. I'm going home for a bit to have a baby shower!"

The fox laughed. "Seriously? How many siblings do you have by now?"

Just above three hundred, last time I counted."

The fox blinked, a bit stupefied. He shook it off quickly. "I actually have something to do tonight too!" He declared.

"What is it? You going drinking with Finnick?"

"Ha ha, no." He said. "I, as a matter of fact, have some very important, super personal business to attend to tonight."

"'Business'?" She gave the fox a smirk. "What kind of business?"

"The 'None of your' kind."

"So, you're just going to be goofing off, aren't you?" She presumed.

The fox looked offended. She couldn't tell if it was genuine or feigned, Nick always had a good poker face. "No, this is actual important business." He stated. "So, while you're having a party with your family, I have grown-up work to do."

"HAH!" She poked the fox on the nose. "You wouldn't last a minute on the Hopps Family Farm."

"You… are probably right." He admitted. "But you wouldn't last half as long where I'm going."

The two glared at each other for a good few moments, as if testing who had the stronger will. It continued for a few moments, before the two were shocked out of it by Nick's cell phone ringing.

He quickly fumbled for it, bouncing it in his paws. He tilted forward off the side of the couch as he tried to grab it, and suddenly found himself toppling on top of the rabbit. She quickly ducked as the fox fell, and found herself pinned underneath him.

"Real slick, Nick."

Hey, he managed to catch the phone!

He answered it, and Wolford showed up on the screen. He looked at them oddly. "Am I interrupting something?"

The two mammals glanced at each other, and then quickly stood up, wiping themselves off. "No," Nick started. "You are not interrupting anything."

"Good, because my Zoolizer went off a few minutes ago." He explained.

"Seriously!?" The fox said in disbelief. "We just fought him like, three hours ago!"

"Guess Yogostein's taking this Shocker thing pretty seriously." Judy said. "Where'd he show up?"

"Downtown, Central Park." Max said. "I'll meet you there." He hung up.

"We need to head out before anything major happens." Judy said, pounding one of her paws into her palm. "Ready to go, partner?"

"Always am."

---

"Alright, Generator Banki, this is just a test run!" Yogostein announced as they walked to the middle of the park, various animals running away as they did.

"Got it!"

Yogostein pulled out a large device, resembling a thin Christmas light bulb, and with a large grey handle. "This is the Amplifier!" He announced, waving it in front of the awed monster. "It isn't complete yet, but after this test I should be able to work out any bugs. Then we can finally destroy this city once and for all!"

He tossed the Amplifier to the generator monster, who caught it in his normal hand. The device had two holes in its sides, perfect for his claw hand to plug into. He slipped it on, and the device emitted a red glow.

"We don't need any Chaos Badges to destroy this place!" Yogostein announced. "Just good old Gaiark ingenuity!" He waved his arm, and slammed his spear into the ground. "Alright, let's light this place up!"

The Banki Beast gave a salute, and started cranking. Electricity began to connect between his antennae, which he then stuck the Amplifier in between. The electricity collected into the device, and it began glowing even redder than before.

The monster raised the device into the air, firing off a massive bolt of red electricity. Yogostein laughed as he watched a massive storm cloud build over the park. "Everything's working perfectly so far!" he yelled joyously. "Maybe we'll have to upgrade this from test run to the first run!"

"Or maybe we'll have to reduce it to vaporware!"

The golden robot turned to face the three Zoorangers as they ran into the park. "Oh, this routine again, huh?" He sighed, a bit frustrated. He looked over to his minion, still firing lightning up into the air. He chuckled. "Well, I suppose I need a bit of a workout…"

The three stepped backwards, drawing their weapons as Yogostein walked towards them. "Think we can take him?" Red asked.

Yogostein quickly spun his spear around, energy gathering through it. He then thrust it forward, launching a blast at the rangers, and knocking them down with an explosion.

Blue let out a cough as she struggled to get up. "I'd call that a definitive 'no'."

Silver quickly got up, and rushed at the robot, thrusting his blade forward, only for it to be blocked by Yogostein's spear. "Hah, this the best you've got, boy!?" He laughed, effortlessly knocking the wolf away.

"Actually, it isn't!" He quickly spun the hilt of the blade around.

"ECLIPSE MODE"

The wolf dashed forward again, and began to rapidly jab his blade into the robot's body. After a few seconds of this, he pulled the sword back, expecting Yogostein to explode.

Instead, he laughed.

"What was that?" He said. He quickly kicked the wolf with one of his big, metallic feet, knocking him to the ground. "Did you expect something like that to work on me? I'm not your run of the mill monster, kid!" He quickly twisted his spear around, and jabbed it into the ground beside the wolf's head, missing by only an inch.

"I'm a general, which means I'm the strongest there is!" He exclaimed. "Your petty super attacks do nothing to me!"

The two other rangers quickly rushed up to him with their weapons, each one taking a different side. Red swerved to the robot's right, leaping into the air to prepare a sword strike. Yogostein ripped his spear from the ground, and effortlessly knocked the fox away with a single swipe.

Blue stopped in her tracks as the robot swung its blade around. She hopped away as it barely missed her and instead scraped through the ground a few inches in front of her. She pulled out her blasters, and rapidly fired at the general, who spun his spear around, knocking away the shots.

He jabbed the spear forward, the impact of the spear hitting the ground knocking her away. The robot then felt something scrape across his side, turning to see the wolf, having gotten up and attempted to hit him.

He thrust the bottom of the spear upwards, striking the wolf in the face. "You just can't get it through your tiny, organic brains, can't you?" He mocked. "I'm stronger than all three of you combined! You have to at least wait to be halfway done with the series before you can kill me!"

"Uh, sir?"

"Not now!" He dismissed. "I'm not done ruining these fools."

Red and Blue ran over to Silver, and helped him up. "You alright?" Blue asked.

"I'm fine." He said, sounding very much not fine. "I just need to sit this out for a minute."

Blue nodded. "We don't want anyone dying, let alone you." She said. He nodded, and dazedly walked away from the fight.

"Alright, how about we pull out all the stops?" Red suggested. Blue nodded, and they plugged in a gold and blue ZooTag, respectively.

"JAN JA NIN!
ROCK N ROLL
DROP N ROLL!
SOLAR FLARE SABER!"

"LET'S MORPHIN'!
GET FIGHTIN'!
DON DON BAM!
BUSTER BOXERS!"

The large sword appeared in the fox's paws, while the pair of gloves appeared on the rabbit's. The two rushed towards the general again, who prepared his spear. The massive blade clanked against the robot's three-pronged weapon, and Yogostein began to seemingly visibly struggle to block it.

"Maybe you are a bit stronger than I thought." Yogostein let out with a grunt. He quickly thrust the spear forward, knocking the fox back, before kicking him to the ground. "But definitely not strong enough!"

He spun around, and quickly whacked a few energy blasts fired by the rabbit's fists out of the air. She stepped back in shock. He thrust the spear forward, and fired an energy blast at her. She struggled as it gripped around her, like binding ropes. The general robot then quickly swung the trident over his head, the rabbit flying directly on top of her fox partner.

"NO!" Silver cried out, rushing over to them.

"Time to finally end this!" Yogostein yelled, as he pointed the spear towards the three. He began to approach them, energy building up for one, last blast.

"SIR!"

He quickly sighed in frustration and slammed the blunt end of the spear into the ground. "Can't you see I'm about to do something!?" He yelled. "What could possibly be so important that-"

He quickly turned around, and realized the exact problem. The Banki was being hung in the air by the device attached to his arm, which now glowed with heat instead of just with light.

"BY BATCHEED'S BRONZED BOLTS!"

He quickly rushed over, and grabbed onto the monster's leg, pulling him back to the ground. "I think the Amplifier has a few bugs!" The generator robot stated.

"It's amplifying TOO much!" Yogostein said, one hand placed onto the monster's head. "I must've forgotten to put a limiter!"

"What's going to happen!?" The banki asked.

"Well, it'll-"

Before he could finish, the device fired off another bolt of red electricity, completing the storm cloud hovering above them. "Do that! Then it'll-"

The cloud began to rumble, interrupting the robot again. The cloud began rapidly firing erratic blasts of lightning all around the park, explosions wracking the place. "It will begin firing without any control!" Yogostein explained.

Silver heard a large crackle above him, and looked up. A red lightning bolt, heading straight down from the sky. He looked down at the two unconscious mammals. There wasn't enough time for them all to get out of the way.

He leaped as the lightning struck the two. Despite being unconscious, the two let out horrific screams of pain. Silver's heart dropped, alongside his body, to the ground.

"Hah, looks like something good managed to come of this!" Yogostein said, staring at the charred bodies of the Zoorangers. "Unfortunately, there's still one thing left to happen."

"What's that?"

"Well-"

There was a sudden, massive explosion around them. The two were flung high into the air, their screams fading as they flew into the distance.

Silver crawled over to the other two passed out rangers, and moved their bodies off of each other. He felt Blue's pulse. She still had one, thank goodness. Red still had one too. Their suits must have protected them from most of the strike!

He sighed in relief, and let out a small laugh. "Don't worry, I'll get you two out of here."

He lifted the two onto his shoulders, and started running.

---

Judy opened her eyes, and looked around. Last thing she remembered was being in the park, her and Nick getting beaten by Yogostein. Now she was in a house, a very familiar house. Max's house.

"Oh thank God, you're alive."

She turned to face Max, who was sitting on a nearby chair. "What happened?" She asked. Something sounded… wrong about her voice. She cleared her throat.

"Well, first you got your asses kicked by Yogostein," He started to explain. "Then, the amplifier thing went out of control, and you two got hit by a lightning strike. Luckily, Yogostein and his minion got blasted off, and you guys were protected by your suits!"

She sighed in relief, and then looked around. She couldn't see Nick anywhere. "Where's Nick?" Voice was still sounding weird, too… deep.

He stared at her for a moment, with a squinting, confused glare. "Are you feeling alright?" He asked, sounding a bit worried.

"Well, my voice is a bit weird, but…"

"It sounds fine to me." He said, looking her in the eye. "You sure you're fine, Nick?"

"What?" How had Max gotten her and Nick confused? "Are you joking right now?" She asked. "How could you possibly mix up a fox and a…" She held up one of her paws. It was black, with claws tipped at each end. Her heart began to race as she opened and closed it, before looking at her other paw. Same deal.

She hopped out of the couch, and gripped onto her new muzzle. She twisted around to see a fluffy red and black tail, as well as her feet, which were far smaller than what she was used to.

She looked at Max, who she now stood at waist height with, compared to usually only going up to his hips. He shot her a confused look.

She screamed.

"What the hell's going on with you, Nick!?" Max yelled.

"I'M NOT NICK!" Judy in the fox's body yelled. "I'M JUDY!"

"You sure as hell look like Nick!"

"Well I'm not!"

"Wait, I know how this works." Max said. "If you're Judy in Nick's body, then that means…" His eyes widened, and quickly ran off, heading up the stairs.

"It means what!?" She yelled. She tried to run after him, but quickly tripped over her feet. She eventually made it upstairs. She walked into an open room, a bedroom, and saw herself laying on the bed.

"Oh no." She sighed. "Don't tell me…"

"Looks like you two have been victims of a standard practise body swap." Max said, almost too nonchalantly.

"I thought stuff like this only happened in cartoons!"

"Well, we have been dealing with very odd things." Max continued. "It's only natural for something bizarre to happen sooner or later."

"But did it have to be this bizarre!?" She questioned. "Couldn't we have just time travelled for the third time!?"

He looked at her. "When did you time travel the first time?"

"That's not important!" She snapped. She looked over at her body, laying there. Grey fur, black tipped ears, a pink nose. God, she really was cute. She shuddered just thinking the word. The rabbit in a fox's body turned to Max. "So, do we wake her… him… Do we wake Nick up now, or…?"

He sighed. "Might as well get his freak out over with." The wolf quickly pushed the rabbit laying on the bed, who groaned in response, and turned over. "Well, at least he's alive."

Max pushed the rabbit again, and it swatted at his paw. "Ehhh, let me sleep for five more minutes…" The rabbit moaned.

"Definitely Nick." Judy said. She placed a paw to her chin in thought. "Let's see, when he wanted to wake me up, he would…" A grin creeped across her fox face, it looking especially smug and sneaky. It's what fox faces were good at.

She took a deep breath, and yelled.

"WAKE UP!"

The rabbit jumped out of bed, and then slammed back into it, face first. "Couldn't you just let me sleep for a bit long-" He paused for a second, and jolted up, clutching at his throat. "What's wrong with my voice!?"

He turned to see, well, himself, give a playful wave. His rabbit eyes widened, and he let out a shrill scream.

"What the hell's going on!?" He yelled, getting off the bed. Nick tripped over his new rabbit feet as soon as he hit the ground, landing directly on his face.

Judy snorted. "Very slick, Nick." He hated hearing those words come out of his mouth.

"The best thing I can think of," Max started, helping the new rabbit up. "Is that super charged lightning that hit you must have scrambled your brains around somehow."

"Very scientific there, Wolfenstein." Nick tried to mock. Instead it came out far more sincere sounding. "Man, your voice really isn't good at sarcasm."

"But yours is." She stuck her tongue out at the rabbit.

"No fighting!" Max quickly smacked the fox in her snout. "I need to figure out how to fix this mess."

"Wait, shouldn't we be going to work?" Judy asked.

"it's like, two PM." He stated. "You guys were conked out for a good while."

"Wait, two PM!?" Judy yelled. "Oh god, I… I have to go!" She started towards the door, put was pulled back by the tail by Max.

"Yeah, you're not going anywhere like that." He said.

"But I have to!" She said, pulling the tail back from the wolf. "It's important!"

"Whatever it is, it's not important right now." Max stated. "We need to sort everything out."

"Yeah, sorry, I have somewhere important to go tonight too." Nick said, with an uneasy grin.

Max smacked his face. "Alright, whatever." He sighed. "But I'm not going to help you out with any of this, this is all on you."

The two mixed up mammals looked at each other.

Soon enough, they were shoved out the door by the wolf. "Get going already, I need to work on stuff." Before they could turn around to say anything, he slammed the door.

There was a moment of silence between the two as they looked at each other. "God, do I really look that smug all the time?" Nick asked.

"Yes, you really do." Judy responded.

---

"So, how are we supposed to do this?" Nick asked as they entered the apartment. "I can't exactly show up to my meeting like this, can I?"

"Well, I can't go home looking like this either!" Judy said. She watched as the rabbit walked to the couch. He was slouching a bit, shuffling his feet as well. It was very frustrating to her. "Can you stop that!?"

"What?" He asked, turning to her.

"The walking!" She said. "Can you not do that in my body!?"

"I'm a fox, Carrots." He started, despite the statement being technically false. "We're designed to slope, it's just natural."

"Well, you're a rabbit now, and that's not how rabbits walk!" She yelled. "I'm going to have horrible back aches when I get back in there!"

"Well, that's not how foxes walk either." He pointed out, hopping up to the couch awkwardly. "MY back is going to kill me if you keep being so straight."

"This body is already killing me." She stated. "How do you put up with this?"

"I guess your mind just isn't used to it yet." He stretched out. "Loving your body though, so limber!"

She let out a growl, which actually seemed to frighten the rabbit for a second. She quickly clasped her paw across her muzzle. "Sorry." She said meekly.

"So, yeah, about these things we have to do." He started, standing up on the couch. "You probably have to go deal with my stuff now."

"Oh, you mean laze out and pretend you did something?" She joked.

"No, you're going to have to go make nice with some loan sharks."

Her eyes widened as she stared at the rabbit. "…What!? Why have you been dealing with LOAN SHARKS!?"

"It started a while ago, I started giving some of my pay to Finnick so he could live in his van." He explained. "Sooo, I needed some extra cash, and I, uh… yeah. I didn't want to tell you."

She felt incredibly angry right now. She couldn't tell if this was somehow the fox now in her, or if she was actually that furious with him. However, she took a deep breath, and thought about it for a moment. Nick was only trying to help a friend, which was surprisingly noble of him.

"Alright, I'll go deal with your loan sharks." She said with a sigh.

"So, while you do that, I get to go party with your family!" He said, a bit smugly. "Seems like a very unfair trade-off, doesn't it?"

She gave the rabbit a smirk. "Oh yes, very unfair."

Nick felt his nose twitch at the statement. It was an odd feeling.

"Anyway!" Judy started. "You need to get packed, which means you'll need clothes, grooming supplies… other things…"

She quickly headed towards her room, Nick following her with his eyes, nose twitching rapidly. "What other things?" He asked as she shut the door. He rushed up to the door. "WHAT OTHER THINGS!?"

The door quickly opened again, and Judy tossed a set of clothes into the rabbit's face. "Get dressed." She said, rather bluntly. He sighed, and headed into his room.

After a bit, Judy burst out of the room, a pink satchel hung over her now less prominent shoulder. She looked over to the rabbit on the couch, who now wore a pink flannel shirt and jeans. The fox snickered. "God, you look cute."

The rabbit sneered at her.

She flung the satchel to the ground. "There, everything packed." She paused for a second. "…Carrots."

"Don't call me that." The rabbit said with a huff.

"Now you know what it's like, huh?"

He scowled at her, before pulling out a small card. "Here's where you have to meet them." He said, handing it to her.

The card had an address written on it.

376, Alpine Street
Tundra Town
MEET AT 1:00 AM

She stuffed the card into her pants pocket, and pulled out another slip of paper, which she handed to the rabbit. "And here's your train ticket, you have an hour and a half before it leaves."

Nick gave her a frown. "Remember, you can't let these guys know you aren't me, alright?"

"And you can't let my parents know that you aren't me." She continued for him.

"Good luck with that." They said simultaneously.

The rabbit grabbed the bag, and promptly fell onto his face. "How the hell do you walk with these big things anyway?" He asked, kicking one of his feet towards her.

She shrugged, genuinely not having an answer for something she had been doing all her life. "Maybe you just need to get used to them," She started. "You'll find they come in handy."

He scoffed as he got up. "Its like walking around with permanent clown shoes, how can these be helpful?"

The rabbit was pushed out the door, satchel wrapped around him.

"You know what they say about rabbits with big feet," He started to himself. "They're very sensitive about them."

---

The rabbit stood in the middle of a rather empty train car. He had gotten on the train a while ago, and the entire thing was terrifying. Nick had never been this far out of the city before, and it happening like this wasn't exactly how he wanted to do it.

His mind was flooding with thoughts. He had no idea what to expect, was he supposed to know all three hundred of her siblings by heart? He never even had to worry about siblings!

"Ma'am."

How did Judy even act around her parents? How did anyone act around their parents when they were an adult? Again, that was something he didn't entirely know how to deal with.

"Ma'am!"

And they were all rabbits, which meant he'd have to eat nothing but vegetables. He'd probably get a few blueberries out of it, but his palette really did not enjoy the taste of most other greens. Not in his diet.

He felt someone tap his shoulder. He gazed up at a rhino. "Ma'am can you please stop doing that?"

Oh yeah, he wasn't exactly a he right now either. Surprisingly, that wasn't what had been bothering him the most. "What am I doing, exactly?" He asked the rhino.

The rhino pointed down, and his gaze followed. He was rapidly thumping his foot on the train's floor. Nick hadn't even noticed he was doing, it must've been an instinctual rabbit nervous tick. The rabbit quickly placed his other foot over it, stopping the thumping. "So sorry, sir!" He apologized, giving a sheepish grin.

The rhino sat back down, and Nick took a deep breath. What weird creatures rabbits were. How were they even supposed to eat with their massive teeth? And their ears…

The train stopped, and the sliding doors opened. On the other side, he saw an army of rabbits. Waiting for him.

He gulped, and headed out the middle sized door, dragging the satchel alongside him. The crowd of rabbits rushed up to him, mostly the smaller ones, and crowded.

"Judy!"

"Judy how are you?"

"Judy, what's it like in Zootopia?"

It was like he was being swarmed by an army of cottonballs. And they were all very interested in him.

"Alright kids," Judy's father said, stepping up and waving his paws. "Don't wanna swarm her, it's been a while since she's been here."

The kids groaned, and then stepped back from him. The rabbit sighed in relief.

"Oh, kids," Bonnie started. "You know how excited they can be."

"Ha ha, yeah." Nick laughed awkwardly and gave a false smile. He had never been around kids in his life.

Both of Judy's parents looked at him. "You feeling alright, Jude?" Stu asked, looking at her, a bit worried.

He was messing up already.

"Oh, I'm fine!" He said. "I'm just… super excited to get home and rest after a long day of work!" He sounded genuine, so obviously his lying skills were still there.

"Tough day on the force, huh?" Stu started, tipping his cap. Nick nodded rapidly. "Well, you can tell us all about it when we get home." He motioned for her to follow.

Another thought crossed his mind as the mass of rabbits began following him.

How do rabbits transport their families anywhere? Guess he'd find out.

He followed Stu and Bonnie to an open field, which had an incredibly large, glass building standing in the middle of it. As the group approached, the glass slid open, and they walked inside, onto the pink steel floor. Asking what this thing was would probably blow his cover.

Stu walked over to a small control panel, and punched in what seemed to be a code. Shortly after, the capsule-shaped building began to lower into the ground, at a very slow pace. Nick could feel a horrifying sense of dread creep up his spine as it passed through the ground.

Soon enough, the dirt cleared, and revealed an incredibly elaborate set of tunnels. Suddenly, the capsule jerked forward, and began to head into one of the tunnels, lights flashing on as it approached.

Nick's rabbity nose twitched as all of this happened. His body was on high alert, he had no idea what to expect. This had apparently caught Stu's attention.

"What's wrong?" he asked. "You're acting like you've never been in a rabbit tunnel before!"

"No!" He yelled. "No, I just… haven't been on one in a long time, it's just… surprising!" He tried to excuse.

"I suppose it's a bit different than taking the train." Stu laughed. "So, you excited to meet everyone?"

"What do you mean by everyone?" He asked. "You mean the new litter?"

"Well, yeah, but I meant everyone else!" Stu continued. "Everyone's coming, like usual. All your aunts and uncles… or at least, most of them."

His eyes widened. He was expecting this to be more of a personal family thing. Was a new batch of babies really something to celebrate? It's not like bunnies didn't make them all the time. Guess it was important to them.

After a few minutes, the capsule stopped, and spun around, opening to a tunnel that headed upwards. Nick quickly followed as the rest of the rabbits headed up the stairs. There was a literal light at the end of the tunnel, coming out from a door at the top.

Nick was the last one to enter, and found himself in a ridiculously sized room. It looked to be a kitchen, and it was swarming with rabbits, most of which weren't even in the capsule before. No, what was there to greet him was merely a sixth of who he was about to meet.

The kitchen was rounded, and seemed to go up for a good few stories. He looked around, and noticed another door, directly across from the one he had exited from. It seemed to lead out of the house, so he supposed that was the "front" door. Here was a table in the middle of the room, a massive, snaking table made to host over three hundred mammals easily.

Bonnie walked over to him as he examined the table. "I know, I don't think it'll be able to seat everyone either." She bemoaned, before heading off. "I know we had those extra parts around here somewhere…"

Nick felt like crying. Foxes were solitary animals, he wasn't at all used to this kind of stress. Social stress.

He felt a paw touch his shoulder, and he turned to face Stu. "If you aren't feeling alright, you can just go to your room and rest." He suggested, rather caringly. "We know that now wasn't exactly a great time to do this, what with everything you and Nick have been up to, but… It's just nice to know that you're alright."

Nick felt his stomach churn. He felt so, so incredibly guilty about this, something he couldn't even have controlled.

He put a paw to his chest, and looked at her father. He quickly wrapped Judy's arms around him, the older rabbit returning it. "Thank you… dad."

His eyes widened, and quickly escaped the grasp. What just come over him? Hugging someone else's parents, especially his girlfriend's, was terrible! He clutched at his stomach, feigning not feeling well. "Ugh, I'm gonna head to my room now." He said.

"Alright, have some rest." Stu said. "You'll need it for tomorrow!"

Hoo boy.

Nick quickly headed up the stairs to the second floor, dragging the satchel behind him. As he came to the second floor, he realized it was lined, wall to wall, with doors. In fact, every story seemed to be lined with the same, similar round doors, each with a different name, or group of names, written on them. There didn't seem to be any organization to them, the first door at the top of the stairs reading "Richard", then followed by "Buster", then "Hazel". It was going to take him a while to find Judy's room.

Twenty minutes later, he found it on the third floor. "Judy", written in cursive on a hanging sigh attached to the door. He swung open the door, and the room was certainly… something.

It was almost bare, aside from a bed and a dresser. Guess the Hopps weren't a "same as you left it" kinda family. The room had pink walls, but the furniture was a mix of pink and blue. He walked up to the bed, and put a paw on it. It was freshly made. Had they took the time out to prepare it for Judy? This just made him feel worse.

Nick threw the satchel to the ground, and flumped onto the bed. He should probably let Judy know he made it there. He pulled out her phone, and opened the messages app. He quickly jotted out a short message.

"At the farm, tell me if everything goes well"

He shut off the phone as it sent, and relaxed on the bed. It was really comfortable. And he was exhausted. Maybe taking a quick nap would make him feel better…

---

It was cold. Well, it was Tundra Town, of course it was cold, but for some reason it felt even colder than usual, even if it was one in the morning. Especially unusual, consider it was the middle of summer.

As she walked into the street, dressed in one of Nick's warmer coats, she felt horribly nervous. She took a breath, seeing a cloud form from how cold it was. She fiddled with the tie around her new, much longer neck. "How does he even wear these?" She asked herself. It was incredibly uncomfortable.

So, this was the right street, right? Alpine Street? She pulled out Nick's phone, and looked at the time. 12:55. Judy just had to wait a bit and these loan sharks would show up.

Maybe once she saw them, she'd actually come up with some sort of plan.

She felt at her back pocket. She had grabbed a Taser, just in case something happened. Hopefully, she didn't have to use it.

After a few minutes, she heard a noise in a nearby alley. The sound of something hitting metal. She followed the noise, which lead her to a rather shady back alley. The noise had come from a large polar bear, dressed in a suit, banging against a trash can.

There were two other mammals there, though. There was an arctic wolf, also dressed in a suit, and a mongoose, sitting in between the two. She recognized him.

She had seen him in old records. Gef Irvings, a gangster who disappeared within the last couple years, known for being extra clever and extra violent.

Had Nick known where he was all this time? Did he seriously get a loan from a crime lord? Did he even know what he did!?

"So, Nicky," The mongoose started, stepping up to her. He was rather large, standing slightly taller than Nick… which meant he stood taller than her right now. "You actually decided to show up." He scoffed. "I thought you would just scram like all the other times."

Oh boy, what was she getting herself into?

"So, you here to pay the money or not?" He asked. "Because if you aren't…" The polar punched its fist into its palm, as if to make a point.

"Uh…" She cleared her throat, still wasn't used to her words coming out in Nick's voice. "How much was it, again?"

"A thousand."

Ugh. She kept on a confident smile, trying to emulate how Nick would've handled this. "Yeah, I have the money, right…" She reached for the Taser in her back pocket. "FREEZE!" She whipped the Taser out, and pointed it at them, causing the bear and wolf to step back, but not Gef.

Instead, he looked at her.

"This was a trick!" She yelled, continuing to point the Taser at them. "You're all under arrest! You have the right to remain silent!"

Gef chuckled. "Did you forget our deal, Nicky?" He gave her a sly glare, and then snapped his claws.

Why couldn't Nick have given her more info than he had?

The bear and the wolf stepped forward. They pulled out weapons, the bear a large crowbar, and the wolf a knife.

"I was gonna let you off a bit, but now you're gonna have to pay the full price."

Judy stepped back, and broke into a sprint as the two, much larger, mammals started after her. The bear headed the charge after her, knocking over trash cans and debris as it headed out of the alley.

Judy aimed her Taser at the bear, and fired. The shot hit, but didn't seem to work. The bear pulled out the wires from his suit, revealing he was wearing another layer underneath. He was wearing a rubber insulator.

Great.

She dropped the Taser before the bear could do anything, and broke into another run, this time down the street. She looked back for a second, seeing the wolf run after her, but she quickly tripped and went into a roll.

The fox tried to get her bearings, and suddenly found herself running on all fours. Well, at least it gave her a bit more balance compared to running on two tiny fox feet. It also seemed to be a bit faster too!

She needed to place to hide for a bit. Rounding a corner, she spotted something perfect. A fence, which had a fairly small hole in it. It seemed to lead into a backyard. It was a perfect fit for someone of her size.

She skidded, and then adjusted her direction, heading directly towards the fence. She leaped, and headed directly into the hole. There was a crack, and suddenly she couldn't move, her arms were caught by something.

She looked back. She was stuck halfway in the hole.

Oh yeah, it was perfect for someone her size.

If she was still a rabbit.

Suddenly, there was a sharp tug to her tail. As something she wasn't used to, it hurt like hell. The fox was pulled from the hole, and was dangling in front of the polar bear and wolf. Judy looked over, seeing Gef walk up.

"Man, I thought you were way better than this, Nicky!" He laughed. "Every other time you did this you managed to get away. Becoming a cop must've gotten you off your game." He snapped his claws again, and motioned for something.

In what felt like a second, Judy found herself tied up and blindfolded, tossed into something hard, metal, and dark. Probably the back of a truck. Her mouth was duct taped, so she couldn't yell.

This was going well.

"Alright," Gef started as the polar bear shut the truck's back door. "Let's take him to the hideout, don't want any potential witnesses."

As the truck started, no one had realized there was already a witness. High above them, on a nearby rooftop, stood a tan cheetah, looking down at them with a pair of goggles.

"Looks like the fox has lot a bit of his edge…" He said to himself, pulling the goggles up as the truck drove away. "Seems very out of character for him to make such a stupid mistake… I wonder…"

He snapped his claws, and then vanished in a burst of red data particles.

---

Nick laid in bed, half awake. What an odd dream he had last night. Judy and he had gotten their bodies swapped by a monster, it was more of a nightmare than anything. He opened his eyes, and stretched out, ready for a new day. He looked around the room.

This wasn't his room.

"Aw, pumpernickel." He said, still in Judy's voice. His rabbit ears drooped, and he fell back onto the bed. At least he'd be able to take it easy for the rest of the day. He curled back up into the blanket, and started to doze off again.

Then, the door burst open.

"UP AND AT'EM!"

Nick launched out of the bed, startled. He slammed back down on the bed, and saw Judy's father. "Alright Jude, we gotta get everything ready for the dinner tonight, so no time for lazing about!" He continued, clapping his paws loudly.

"What time is it?" Nick asked, sitting up. He looked out the window, the sun wasn't even up yet. Well, at least he knew where Judy's punctuality came from now.

"About five in the morning!" Stu said cheerfully. "Perfect time to start on the farm!"

Oh noooooo

Soon enough, Nick was standing out in a vast, open field, various different gardens peppering it. The Hopps Family Farm, it was definitely large enough to host the entire family.

"I'm still not feeling great." Nick lied, clutching at his stomach. "Can't I just go lay down for a bit?"

"Sorry Jude." Stu started. "We need every paw we can get. Tell ya what, I'll give you something simpler to do." He looked around for a second. "Oh, you can pick strawberries with Pop pop! You two always had fun together when you were little."

Who was "Pop pop"?

Stu directed him over to a patch of strawberry bushes. There were a handful of rabbits picking strawberries, mostly younger ones. But there was one rabbit, brown furred, and very, very old. He gave Nick a glare as he approached the garden.

He must've been her grandfather. Not entirely sure which side.

"Heeey… Pop pop." He greeted, quickly picking up a nearby basket. "How are things, uh, hopping?"

"I should ask you that!" He shouted, pulling up a cane and sticking it right Nick's pink nose. "What in the great warren's name are you doing with your life!?"

"What?"

He stamped the cane into the dirt. "Leaving the burrow, dating a… a FOX!?"

Well, this just turned awkward.

"Do you know how awful foxes are?" He asked him. "I once got swindled by a fox!"

Nick rolled his eyes, and started picking strawberries. The old mammal continued, and the rabbit let him continue, only giving passing acknowledgement. It was something he'd never really experienced, but heard about. He never really got to know his grandparents, either. Well, aside from that one time, but that was because of time travel.

It kept going for a bit, Pop pop not seeming to realize he had stopped listening. He continued to pick the ripe, red berries and plop them down into the basket, until he said something. Something that made his ears and nose twitch.

"How do you even know if this Nick fella even really cares about you!? How do you know he's not just going to abandon you!?"

Normally, Nick had a saying. "Never let them get to you". It was something he'd followed for most of his life. But you know who didn't follow that saying?

Judy.

"I would trust Nick with my life!" He started, trying to get into character. "He's helped me more than anyone here ever has! Just because he's a fox doesn't mean he's untrustworthy, so stop with your backwards thinking, and grow up!"

He let out a deep breath, and then looked around. Pop pop and the young rabbits around him were staring in awe, confusion, and anger.

Upon reflection, it turns out that lashing out may have been the exact opposite of what Judy would have done.

He took a deep breath, and dropped the basket to the ground. "I'm gonna go talk to dad." He said, before rushing off.

After a bit of talking, Nick had managed to negotiate a deal with Stu. He managed to get another, simpler job, over in the blueberry patch. Perfect for him, and his taste buds.

After picking a few, he would sneak one in for a snack. Nobody noticed, but there wasn't really anyone around. The blueberry patch was one of the smaller parts of the farm by the looks of it. Should've been the main part in his opinion.

He popped one into his mouth. Mmm, delicious.

"When did you start liking blueberries?"

His ears perked up, and he swiveled around to see Bonnie, her arms crossed.

"Uhhh… Just now?" he excused.

"You know you're not supposed to eat the produce before we sell it, Judy." She said, sounding a bit disappointed. "And besides, we need those blueberries for the pie tonight!"

Blueberry pie was the one thing better than blueberries themselves, Nick thought. So, he'd better just get to picking them, and not eating them.

"Sorry… mom." The word kind of hurt to say. He quickly started picking the blueberries again, dropping each one into the basket.

It was going to be a long day, he could tell.

---

"Hey, wake up."

Judy groggily opened her eyes to the sound of claws snapping. Standing in front of her were the loan sharks, the polar bear, the wolf, and Gef. She glanced around, she was in some kind of warehouse, presumably abandoned.

She also couldn't seem to move her arms and legs.

She was tied to a chair. Great.

"Alright, Nicky," Gef started, stepping up to the fox. "You've tricked me for the last time, time for you to…" He unsheathed his claws. "Vanish, shall we say."

Alright, what would Nick do in a situation like this? The answer was pretty simple.

"So, why exactly do they call you an extra clever mongoose?" She asked. "You've gotten tricked by me before, which means you aren't that clever. Or maybe every other mongoose is just dumb as a brick."

Buy for time.

Gef growled, while his henchmen seemed to laugh. He twisted around and hissed at them, quieting them.

Judy struggled for a bit, trying to loosen then rope. It seemed to be working, but she quickly stopped as Gef turned back.

"They call me extra clever because I'm smarter then everyone else!" He declared. "You've just gotten lucky the last times we've met."

She scoffed. "Please, I'll be out of here in no time." She assured, trying to sound confident, even though she really wasn't. Its what Nick would've done.

"Yeah, sure." Gef returned, rolling his eyes.

Let's see, how could she get out of here? She glanced around. The door was behind the three, so she'd have to either wait, or distract them before escaping. Of course, she'd need to actually get out of the ropes first, so that'd require another distraction. What would Nick do?

Oh yeah, lie.

"You know, I have a police partner." She started.

Gef glared at her. "What?"

"Yeah, she was actually there when you caught me." She continued. "She should be here any second to get me out."

Gef laughed. "I didn't see anyone else there. You're lying."

"She's a rabbit, Gef." She continued. "She's good at hiding."

The mongoose snorted, before turning to the henchmen. "Find her!" He yelled, gesturing to the henchmen. The three quickly rushed out the steel door behind them, leaving the fox alone.

"Extra clever my cottontail." She said. "Well, my fox tail, but whatever."

She began struggling with the ropes, rocking side to side to loosen them. It seemed to stop working after a bit, but they weren't loose enough to escape out of yet. What was she going to do? If only she had a knife, or…

Oh, duh.

She maneuvered her paw around, and extended a single claw. Using it, she began to cut at the rope to her side. In a few minutes, she was free. She stretched out. God, Nick's body was surprisingly out of shape. Or maybe this was just how fox's bodies usually were.

Not really worth wondering right now. They'd realize her lie soon enough, and going through the exit was basically a death sentence. She needed to find an alternate way out.

She looked up. There was some rafting above her, leading to ceiling windows. Not the best way to get out, but it was a way out. Needed something to break it open with…

She looked down at the Zoolizer on her wrist. Should she? She would definitely be able to escape, but then she'd have three criminals knowing that Nick was also a Zooranger. That would either go really well, or really bad.

Probably the later, so she decided to think of something different. So, something heavy that could break glass…

Judy looked around again, trying to find something. In the corner, there was a pile of weapons. Probably where they got the crowbar and knife from. She ran over and sorted through the objects, and pulled out a sledgehammer.

She dragged it across the ground, far too heavy for her fox arms to lift… but it was more than her rabbit body could do, she supposed.

It clanked up the stairs as she went up. Soon, she was net to the window. Time to muster up all the strength Nick had. She lifted the hammer into the air, stumbling backwards and tilting over the railing. With the leverage, she threw it forward. The hammer smashed through the glass, making an absolutely massive sound.

Well, that probably could have gone better.

"What the hell was that!?" Gef yelled from outside.

And now they've found out.

The fox climbed out of the window, carefully avoiding any glass that was there. It was moments like this that made her wish shoes weren't so expensive. It seemed to be mid-day at this point, probably five or so.

She trotted across the roof, before she reached the back. Glancing down, she spotted a dumpster right below. Well, it was the best she had, so she leaped down into the stinking garbage. As she rose, from the pit of filth, she took a deep breath, and climbed out.

"Note to self, tell Nick to have a shower when we get our bodies back." She said, shaking some liquid trash off of her fur. She heard footsteps coming from the alley next to the warehouse, so she broke off into a sprint through the thin snow.

Unfortunately, there wasn't really anywhere to go, as the building seemed to be completely closed in around all sides but the front. She slapped herself in the face. The only way out was through the other alleyway, so she broke for that.

As she ran down the alley, she looked back, seeing that the wolf had caught up and was following her. Looks like Gef and the bear hadn't-

WHAM!

She ran directly into something, and stumbled back.

Oh, it was the polar bear.

Great.

In a second, she was sent flying by a swift punch from the bear, sliding across the ground as she fell unconscious. She was unaware that Nick's phone had slid out as well.

"Fox thought he could trick me again, huh?" Gef said, rounding the polar bear. "Look where it got him this time." He motioned for the bear. "Take him inside, put him somewhere more secure."

The bear nodded, and picked up the fox's body, then rounded the alley, the wolf following behind. Gef turned around, and noticed the phone. He picked it up, and activated it. Apparently, he was too confident to put a password on it.

Gef opened up the messages, and saw a message from the fox's partner. She wasn't even in the city by the sounds of it. He couldn't believe he had nearly gotten tricked again. Well, let's see how clever he'd look after this.

He quickly typed up a message.

"Everything is fine. I'm back home."

Send.

---

What a night it had been.

Nick wasn't entirely sure how many bunnies had shown up for the dinner, but it had to at least border on the thousands. It's odd how both incredibly diverse they all were, but at the same time all looked very similar. Must be a rabbit thing.

The dinner went as well as it could have been with so many guests, which means it was only just barely not a disaster. A fun disaster, but whatever. Bonnie had been right about the table not being able to seat everyone though, and by the time he returned from the farming, it had been rearranged into a massive circle all around the main room.

By the time dinner had started, bunnies of all shapes and sizes had been seated. Nick himself sat next to a rather jovial uncle, and one of Judy's many older brothers. They were fun to be around at the very least, but the massive crowd made him anxious throughout it.

The food, however, was stunning. He'd never really had anything like it before… mostly because he'd never really had home-made cooking. They had everything a rabbit could want, about thirty different types of salads, pastries of all fillings, and lots of deserts as well. By the end of the day, he was exhausted and stuffed.

But throughout the day, he had felt he'd forgotten something.

"Judy," Bonnie asked as the crowd started to clear. "Do you mind helping with the dishes?"

Oh poop, he had forgotten about Judy.

"Uh, I have something I need to take care of." He excused, quickly rushing up to Judy's room.

How could he have forgotten that? He had left her alone to criminals, while he was here partying, taking over her life! All the joy he had been feeling was drained and replaced with the usual self-loathing.

He quickly started up the phone, and saw a new text, saying she was alright. He sighed in relief. At least she was okay, nothing had gone wrong.

He sat on the bed, and thought for a second. This entire indulgence had been the most selfish thing he'd ever done, hadn't it? Sure, it wasn't something he could control, but that was just an excuse. He had basically taken over her life for two days, and gotten to live through what should have been a relaxing day for her.

Well, her parents knew that they were the Zoorangers. Maybe they could believe in something like a body switching? It sounded completely ridiculous, but it might be the only way of aiding his guilt.

Of course, with all the rabbits here, it probably wouldn't be a good idea. There might be some sort of massive freak out.

He was also completely exhausted by all the work he had to do. It was terrible, every muscle in his rabbit body was aching, even after the dinner. Now he was exhausted and tired.

So, he curled up into the blanket, and started to drift off to sleep. Surely, they could wait for the morning.

And Judy was fine, so she could probably wait a bit as well.

---

Judy opened her eyes, and jolted up. She looked around. She was in some sort of storage room. There were no lights, no windows, just a completely empty room. The fox got up, and headed for the door. She tried to open the door, but it seemed to be blocked from the outside.

She was trapped.

"How does Nick get himself into these situations?" She asked herself, rubbing her head.

She leaned on the door, and fell to the ground. She was absolutely furious right now. Of course Nick would do something like this, it was just like his reckless, stupid self to get caught up in his old life again. Meanwhile, he was probably having a great time at HER parent's, enjoying stuff at the party SHE was supposed to be at!

He probably could've gotten out of this situation easily, though. Judy was smarter than him, but definitely not as clever. That was why they made such great partners.

And now, she probably wasn't going to ever see him again.

She wasn't going to see anyone ever again, actually.

It's not something most experience, but the realization of your own death is something that hits incredibly hard. And in Judy's case, the fact that she wouldn't even be the one dying just made it worse.

Nick would still be trapped in her body. Would anyone believe him if he told them what happened? Or would he just have to keep up appearances? Whatever happened, she knew that not being there would destroy the poor fox.

She curled up into a fetal position. God, this was the worst. She couldn't believe that this was happening. She needed help, she needed…

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of something in the corner of the room. A shadowed figure, standing there.

Wasn't she the only one here?

Judy climbed up, using the door to help balance her shaking legs. She approached the figure. As she did, she couldn't make out any features. She could make out a shape, it was another fox, but there was nothing, it was pure black.

Suddenly, it opened its eyes. They glowed pure yellow.

"Boo."

The fox fell to the ground at the sight of whatever this thing was. It moved towards her, in a disturbingly choppy manner, like it was only half there.

"Hear you need some help." It said, voice like a snake. "Maybe I can be of some service?"

"Who are you!?" She yelled, crawling away from it.

"Come on, rabbit," It started with a laugh. "We had some fun just last week, remember?"

"Wait, no…" It couldn't be. How could she be seeing it right in front of her eyes? "Are you… Savage?"

"Right on the money, carrot muncher!" He laughed, clapping his paws.

She blinked, and suddenly he was gone. Judy glanced around, trying to see where he went, only to feel herself being lifted from the ground, and onto her feet. She spun around, and saw Savage.

"How are you here!?" She yelled. "I thought you were just some evil force!"

"I'm not actually here, cottontail." He said. "I'm in your head. Sort of. And this isn't a stress induced hallucination either." He leaned in closer to her. "So, here's the deal. You don't want to die, I understand that. I can help you."

"I don't want any of your help!" She yelled, trying to push the thing back, only for her paws to go right through it.

"Well, if you don't want my help," He continued, sounding a bit dejected. "Then I guess you'll die, and the entire city will be destroyed!"

She sighed. She did need to get out of here. It wasn't just about her and Nick, it was about everyone in the city. "Alright, what do you want?" She asked. "There's usually a deal in these kind of situations."

"Oh, no deal." He said. "Completely beneficial only to you, I take over for a bit and bust you out of here."

She could smell something fishy with that, but she didn't have much of a choice. "What, exactly, are you planning to do?" She asked, looking him in the glowing eyes.

"You know, just slaughter them."

"No deal then." She wasn't going to have blood on her paws. Or rather, Nick's paws. Claws. Whatever.

Savage grunted. "Fine. I won't kill them."

"Alright, then we have a deal." She said. The two looked at each other for a moment. "…So, do we shake paws now?"

"What do I look like, Dr. Facillier?" He growled. "No, you'll know when the time comes." He started to fade out, like a mirage. "And remember, Hopps, I'm always with you!"

Those last words made her shudder as the creature vanished.

She felt like she had just made an awful, awful mistake.

---

Enter stepped into Yogostein's personal quarters. He was one of the few of the group who used their rooms, the only other one being Yabaiba. Most of the others preferred to be actively doing something rather than relaxing.

That's not to say Yogostein didn't do anything. In fact, he had turned his quarters into a workshop. As Enter walked in, he noticed large piles of scrap littering the ground, as well as many tools. The place was a mess.

He looked over, seeing the robot sitting at a desk. The Generator Banki was next to him, watching as he worked on something. Sparks flew and loud noises sounded. Perhaps it was best to wait for him to finish, and then get what he was here for.

Nah.

Enter quickly strolled up, and tapped Yogostein on the shoulder. He let out a yelp, and they watched as one of Yogostein's hands flew through the air, and landed on the ground.

"You idiot!" he yelled, smacking Enter out of the way. He quickly got up and picked the hand up off the ground. "This is going to take days to repair!"

"Sorry, Mon Amie." Enter said, feigning empathy. "I just wanted to ask you something about that…" He looked over at the generator monster. "…Banki, as you call it."

"Generator Banki can generate lightning of up to 100 billion volts!" Yogostein declared.

"100 billion?" Enter said, egging the robot general along. "Isn't that a bit much?"

"Of course not!" He yelled. "But with this Amplifier I've been working on, I will be able to, well, amplify it by a hundred times!"

Enter looked at him for a minute. "Is that it?"

"Yes, that is it." Yogostein reiterated. "Is that not impressive to you?"

"Well, it's just that I saw something a bit odd earlier…" Enter started. "The fox ranger, acting a bit oddly. Like he wasn't himself."

"Oh no." The robot groaned, turning to his minion. "Did you do something stupid again!?"

The generator beast waved his hand. "No, I didn't do anything!"

"So, there was another time something like this happened?" Enter questioned.

"Back when I was fighting Go-Onger, there was a mishap with Generator Banki and our red ranger." He started to explain. "They got hit by one of Generator Banki's lightning blasts, and somehow had their minds swapped."

"Minds swapped…" Enter said to himself. "Why haven't you considered using that ability here?"

"Because it caused nothing but trouble!" Yogostein yelled. "That was the only reason our plan backfired. I never want to go through that again!"

"But what if he wasn't the one being swapped around?" Enter asked. "Think of the wonderful chaos you could make with that!"

"I'm here to do things efficiently, Enter." Yogostein stated. "Not mess around with gimmicks!"

Enter gave a smirked, and then promptly kicked Yogostein across the room. He flew, and crash landed in a pile of scrap. "Generator Banki! Get him!" He yelled as he struggled to get up.

Enter quickly grabbed the Amplifier from the table, and then grabbed the Banki's claw hand as he attempted to strike. He twisted around to the monster's back, putting him in an arm lock. Enter turned to Yogostein, and gave a slight wave with the Amplifier. "Ciao!"

The two then disappeared in a burst of data particles.

"That idiot!" Yogostein yelled, throwing his hand to the ground. "The Amplifier isn't even finished!"

---

The two suddenly reappeared on top of a building. It was early morning. Enter quickly released the Banki, and threw him to the ground.

"What are you going to do to me!?" The monster cried, struggling to get up.

Enter pulled out a Chaos badge, holding it up to show the monster. "I'm going to unlock your true potential. He tossed the Amplifier over to the monster, who caught it in its normal hand. "Put that on, it'll make you even stronger."

"Uh, alrighty." The generator beast quickly plugged the Amplifier onto its claw hand, causing it to start glowing. "Now what?"

Without a word, Enter threw the badge directly into the monster's chest. The crank began to spin around rapidly, before popping off. The monster's torso began to rapidly change, becoming more angular and armor like, the chaos emblem being emblazoned on the middle of it. The wires hanging from its back quickly lifted into the air, forming a ribbon. Five rounded discs appeared between two parts of the wires, each with the chaos emblem on them.

The monster's face grew larger fangs, and an angry snarl to it. The antenna began to curve outwards, becoming more horn-like rather than antenna like. The claw hand and the Amplifier seemed to combine together completely, forming into an even larger bulb. The beast stomped on the ground, and let out a roar.

"CHAOS GENERATOR BANKI!" It yelled. "Alright, time to drop some misery on these animals!"

He turned around, facing towards an intersection, animals wandering around. He pounded his chest, causing the ribbon to fall in front of him. "The sound of drums, signalling the arrival of THUNDER!" He quickly began pounding on the discs with the amplifier enhanced hand. With each blow, thunder quickly shot out from between the Banki Beast's antenna, heading straight into the air. Instantly the sky began to darken.

"Was it supposed to rain today?" Asked an antelope to his cheetah friend. He shook his head in response.

"Do rain clouds even happen that quickly?" Asked a panther to her husband as she looked up into the sky.

"I don't think they do." He replied.

"BRING THE THUNDER!" The monster yelled. Suddenly, thunder began dropping from the sky, directly going after any two creatures standing close to each other.

As they struck, the mammals suddenly found themselves all switched around. The antelope was now in the cheetah's body, the panther was in her husband's, and vice versa. And of course, with something like this, comes mass hysteria. They began running around, screaming in terror at the sudden changes.

The Banki let out a laugh. "Wonderful chaos!" It shouted, before turning back to Enter. "Thank you for this new power, Master Enter!"

"Your welcome." Enter replied, sounding a bit insincere. "I'm getting out of here before anything happens to me. Remember, keep that chaos coming." He snapped his fingers, and disappeared in a burst of particles.

"Oh, this was just a taste!" The monster declared, looking over the panicked masses. "Next time, I'll strike somewhere massive! I'll have everyone in the whole city swapped around!" The monster let out another laugh, before pounding the drum again. A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and he vanished in an explosion.

---

"Alright," Gef started, turning to his two henchmen. "Go get the fox. Make sure he's broken, and completely unable to escape this time!"

The two nodded, and then headed down to the basement of the warehouse. The wolf twirled the keys on one of his claws, and unlocked the door. Stepping through, they noticed something a bit odd. There wasn't anybody there.

The headed deeper into the dark storage room, and heard the door slam behind them. They turned around, and spotted the fox, standing in front of the closed door. It was dark, and neither of them could see it entirely.

Suddenly, there was another sound.

"SAVAGE ON"

There was a burst of red light, the force of it knocking to two to the ground. The fox stepped forward, now looking completely different.

"Hey boys." He said, looking over them. "Ready for some fun?"

He unsheathed his claws.

"What's taking those idiots so long?" Gef asked himself, slowly growing frustrated. He had sent them to retrieve Wilde ten minutes ago, and they hadn't come back. They really were idiots.

He headed for the room, and found that the door was open… but it didn't seem to be budging. What the hell? There wasn't anything in the room to begin with, what in the world was blocking the door? He tried to push it open again, and it seemed to budge a bit. He backed up, and charged into the door, fully knocking it open.

He looked at what was blocking the door. It was the polar bear, knocked unconscious… hopefully, but the blood blotting his fur didn't make it better.

He looked over the bear for a moment. Then, he heard a noise, someone walking over to him. "How's it going?" Said a slimy voice.

He spun around to see the fox-like monster standing behind him. It was carrying the wolf by his throat, who hung limply from its grasp. The fox then quickly tossed the wolf's body aside, and approached Gef.

"Who the hell are you!?" Gef yelled, backing away. "Where's Wilde!?"

"Sorry to say, Geffy," The fox started, staring into the mongoose with horrid red eyes. "But Wilde was never here."

"What!? Where is he, then!?"

"Oh, wouldn't you like to find out." The monster said, claws unsheathing.

Gef quickly broke for it, heading up the stairs and back to the main part of the warehouse. Savage slowly followed him up, dragging his claws against the wall, producing an ear shattering screech.

He was toying with him.

The mongoose headed to the pile of weapons, and grabbed a rather large machete from it. He watched as the fox entered from the stairwell. "Stay back!" He yelled, brandishing the blade. "Or I'll kill you!"

Savage glanced at the blade, and let out a chuckle. "Oh no, a machete, what ever will I do?" He laughed, acting incredibly overdramatic. His tone suddenly changed to dead serious. "Just try it."

The two looked at each other for a moment.

"Well?" Savage started, raising his arms. "You gonna try it?"

Gef quickly glanced at the blade, and then back to Savage. He let out a cry and rushed at the monster. The mongoose slashed the blade down onto the fox, only for him to catch it in a single paw, the blade not seeming to hurt him.

"See?" He said. "Not gonna work." He gripped his claw around the blade, and it shattered, the fox not seeming to put a large amount of pressure on it.

"What the hell are you!?" Gef yelled as he backed away, falling to the ground.

"Well, let's just say…" Savage paused, unsheathing his claws and approaching the mongoose. "I'm definitely a real Savage."

There was a sudden cry of terror throughout the warehouse, which quickly quieted.

Savage stepped through the front door of the warehouse, and let out a massive sigh of relief, which started turning into a howl. "Man, it feels so good to let that all out!" He yelled, laughing. His joy suddenly turned to grunts of pain, as there was a flash of black energy.

Judy fell to her knees, and looked up to see the shadowed fox standing above her. "You're free to go, cottontail." He said.

"You didn't kill them, did you!?" She yelled, standing up.

"Nope, didn't kill them."

She sighed in relief. "Good. I have to get home!"

She ran off, a bit clumsily due to her still not being used to Nick's feet. Savage watched on as he started to fade. He let out a laugh.

"I didn't kill them, but they're certainly not going to survive…"

He vanished completely.

---

Nick paced around Judy's room for a bit. It was early, and he knew that not a lot of the other bunnies were up yet. Thanks to his rabbit ears, and because of how silent everything was, he could hear things going on downstairs. Judy's parents were probably awake, most likely preparing for when everyone else woke up.

"Alright, how should I open?" He asked himself. He was trying to think of how he'd explain this situation to her parents. Should he open with a "Mom, dad", or would that be too awkward when he revealed he wasn't their daughter? But opening with their first names might be even more awkward.

He grunted to himself, and pounded on his head. "Just go down there and tell them!" He told himself. "Just get the awkwardness over with!" He took a deep breath, and exited the room, storming down the stairs.

He peeked into the kitchen from the doorway. The two rabbits were busy in the kitchen, cleaning dishes from last night, as well as preparing for the massive breakfast. He felt kind of bad for them, having to do this every day for most of their lives. No wonder they had so many kids.

The radio was playing as well, just some calming country music.

He ducked behind the doorway, and hit his head again. Just get in there, he told himself. Get this over with, and go home so you can sort everything out!

He quickly stomped into the kitchen. "Oh, hey Judy!" Stu said, washing the dishes. "Whatcha doin' up so early?" He asked. "It's not like you have to go to work today."

"Well, there's…" He stammered for a second. "There's something I need to talk about."

"Oh, is this about your super hero thing?" Bonnie asked, quickly hushing her voice. "Don't worry, we haven't told a soul!"

"No, it's not about that." He paused for a moment. "Well, it is, but… That's not important! I need to tell you that I'm not actually-"

"We interrupt this broadcast to let everyone know of yet another monster attack in Zootopia!" The radio sounded, catching everyone's attention. "This monster, described as being able to control electricity, has been rampaging around the city, with the Zoorangers nowhere in sight. We urge everyone in the city to-"

Stu quickly shut it off, and turned to Nick, who sighed. "…That I'm not actually staying for breakfast!" Nick awkwardly finished. "I gotta go!" he quickly sprinted off.

Stu followed him for a second, shaking off his wet paws. "The passcode to the tunnel is thirty seven eighty four!" He yelled to him.

"Thanks!" He shouted back as he headed to the tunnel.

---

"I'M HOME!" Nick yelled as he entered the apartment, only to receive no response. He looked around, and saw Judy laying on the couch, fast asleep. She was snoring, really, really loudly.

He sighed, and walked up to the fox. It was still weird hearing himself, but they had a job to do, no time to contemplate.

Taking a deep breath, Nick prepared to wake her up. "GET UP!" He shouted, letting it out. The fox mumbled for a second, before rolling over. The rabbit sighed. Of course it hadn't worked, she didn't have the ears she used to. How disappointing.

He instead punched her in the back. "Ow!" She yelped, waking up. She rolled over to see herself staring at her. "Oh, hey, you're back!" She let out, sitting up. "Why didn't you tell me that you got a loan from a dangerous criminal!?"

"Yeah, probably should have told you that." He said, sheepishly. "But everything turned out alright!"

She glared at him for a moment.

"It didn't go alright, did it?"

"If you think almost being killed was it going alright, then yes."

He slapped his paws to his face, and groaned. "Oh god, I'm such an idiot." He uncovered his face, and looked at her. "I'm so sorry for making you do that. I should've gone."

"Yeah, you really should've." She replied. "How was the baby shower?"

"Fun but awkward." He answered. "I felt horrible basically the entire time."

"Well, at least you didn't almost get murdered."

"I said I was sorry!"

"There's some things a sorry just doesn't cut, Nick."

Now he felt even worse. But they had something more important to deal with. "Alright, so I heard about the monster on the radio this morning." He started. "Have you heard anything?"

"I was locked up in a warehouse for four hours, and immediately ran home and fell asleep for the last three." She explained, in Nick's deadpan tone. "No, I have not heard anything."

"God, you're even starting to sound like me." He said, a bit weirded out. "We need to get back to normal before anything weird happens."

"You don't know where the monster is, do you?" Judy guessed.

"No idea, but I do know someone who probably does!" He said, pumping his fist.

"Alright, now you're sounding like me." She said, getting up off the couch. Nick clasped his paws over his mouth. "Let's just go see Max."

"So, do I really snore that loudly?" Nick asked as they exited the apartment.

"Yes, you do."

---

The two entered the police station, still dressed in civilian attire. They were greeted, as usual, by Clawhauser at the receptionist desk. "Hey, Judy, Nick, glad to see you two!" He greeted cheerfully.

"Hey, Spots." Nick responded.

"Hey Clawhauser!" Judy greeted.

The two quickly covered their mouths. They had made it so far without messing up, and now they had blown it.

"Oh nooo!" the cheetah sighed. "Did the monster get you guys too?"

"What?" The said simultaneously.

"You know, the monster that's been running around!" He continued. "We've been getting calls all day from people who've had their bodies swapped by it!" He explained, Nick and Judy looking at each other. "It's like something out of a cartoon!"

Nick sighed in relief, ears dropping. "Thank god we don't have to hide that anymore."

Judy put her paws up on Clawhauser's counter, only having to stretch a small bit to reach it. "Clawhauser, we need to find Wolford, do you know where he is?"

"I think he's in the witness room." He said. "I could buzz him up, but why do you…?"

"Not important right now, Spots." Nick said. "Just buzz him up here, and don't worry, we'll have everything sorted out shortly."

"Alrighty!"

In a few minutes, Max ran up to them. "Hey, you guys feeling better?" He asked as they began to exit the station.

"Yeah, we're fine." Nick said.

"Mostly." Judy finished.

"Good, because I think I know how to get you two back to normal." Max continued. "Usually, in a situation like this, beating the monster returns everything back to normal, so…"

"Just have to defeat it, right?" Nick finished for him. "Sounds like a plan."

"Your Zoolizer goes off every time a monster attacks, right?" Judy asked, the wolf nodding in response. "Got anything recently?"

"It's been going off constantly for the last few hours."

"So, let's go find him, and give him a real shocker!" Judy said.

"You really need to work on your puns if you want to be more like me." Nick said.

"I wasn't even trying to do a pun there." She said, a bit upset. "Is this kind of stuff just in your blood?"

"It might be."

Max facepawed. "Let's just get going already."

The two nodded, and were quickly off.

---

"Time to light it up!" The monster said as it began beating on its drums. Each strike caused a bolt of electricity to fly from its head and into the air, forming a cloud above the city block. "Soon, everyone in this Batcheed forsaken city will be all mixed up, and we'll have won!"

He heard the sound of motorcycles stopping behind him, and turned around to see the three Zoorangers rushing towards him.

"Sorry to rain on your parade," The rabbit said. "But we're going to put an end to your little Operation: Shocker!"

"Operation: Shocker?" The monster laughed to itself. "Sorry, but this is no longer just Operation: Shocker, this is Operation: Great Shocker!" The three mammals looked at him, a bit dumbfounded. "Besides, I doubt you can stop me when you're all mixed up!"

"It doesn't matter which bodies we're in!" The fox yelled. "We'll still be able to beat you!"

Silver stepped forward. "Maybe I should go first, so you two can get used to your bodies a bit more." He suggested, drawing his sword.

"Splitting up is probably a good idea." Judy, as ZooRed, said. "If we stay close together, we could end up getting more mixed up." She twirled a claw in the air. "Circle motion, stay on all sides of him!"

"Looks like red's the leader for once, huh?" Nick, as ZooBlue, said, jokingly. Judy gave him a look.

The three gave each other nods, and started to circle around the monster, weapons drawn. Blue, who was Nick, only held one of the daggers, while Red, who was Judy, gripped at both ends of Nick's sword.

"Alright, so that's how you want to do it?" The generator monster said, watching them as they slowly circled. He flipped up his drums. "By the power of Gaiark…" It raised the amplifier hand to the sky, directly under the cloud. "I HAVE THE POWER!"

The cloud shot a bolt of lightning directly at the monster. It quickly twisted and swirled, forming into a large blade around the amplifier hand. He swung it around a few times, trying to menace the three.

"You think that's impressive?" Blue asked, a bit overconfident. "Well, watch this!"

He rushed at the monster, brandishing the dagger. He attempted to strike the monster, only for its large blade to block the dagger, knocking the rabbit back a bit. It then followed up with a kick, sending Blue flying.

Red then rushed up, leaping into the air to try and hit the generator beast. She didn't go as high as she had expected, and was nearly instantly knocked to the ground by the blade. She quickly raised the Foxfire Blade over her head to block another strike, but the monster knocked it back down, and kicked her over to the rabbit.

Silver let out a sigh. "Told them I should've gone first." He quickly rushed in, and began evenly sparring with the monster.

"What the hell was that!?" Blue yelled to his body. "Why did you leap into the air? That's not how I fight!"

"Well, why were you only using one dagger?" Red returned. "And rushing in, at your size? Bad move!"

"Well, I'm not you, alright?"

If Red had her ears, they would've perked up at that moment.

"Except you are me right now!" She said. "We can't just fight like we usually do, we have to adapt!"

"Wait, you mean," Blue started. "Copy each other?"

"Yeah! You need to do as I would, and vice versa!"

Blue seethed. "I'll see what I can do, Carrots."

Meanwhile, with Silver, the two were still clashing blades. With each strike to his rapier, he felt a small electric shock. Not much, like a small jolt, but it was starting to take its toll.

With one more strike, the Banki had knocked Silver back. "I've defeated you all!" It yelled. "I'm completely invincible, and none of you are able to stop me!"

"We'll see about that!"

The beast turned around, watching as Blue leaped into the air, daggers drawn. He slashed down, cutting through the monster and landing on the ground, before leaping up and over it, twisting around to strike it in the back.

The monster stumbled forward, and saw Red heading towards him as well. Prepared, the Banki swung at her, only for the fox to duck under the blade and slip right past, cleaving into its armor with the blade.

The monster stumbled back. "How are you doing this!?"

"Fox stance."

"Rabbit legs."

The two fistbumped.

"Silver, let's finish this guy off!" Red yelled. Silver got up, and nodded, heading over to them.

They threw the weapons into the air, forming the Zookaiser. They caught it, and aimed it at the monster. "Alright, I've always wanted to do this!" Red shouted as she gripped the handle.

She pulled the trigger, and fired the blast at the monster, causing it to explode. As it did, a large ripple shot out, nearly knocking the three back. As it cleared, they watched as a red badge and a large generator flew out of the explosion as well. The generator crashed into the ground, broken.

"That ripple!" Silver sounded. "That must have been everything fixing itself!" He pulled out a cellphone, and quickly dialed something up. "Clawhauser? Yeah, it's Wolford. How are things going, everything back to normal yet? It is? Alright, bye." He turned back to the two other rangers. "See? I was right."

"Yeah, sorry." Blue started. "But I'm pretty sure we're still in each other's bodies."

"Wait, seriously!?"

"Sorry Max." Red apologized. "Maybe it didn't work because it happened before he was upgraded?"

Silver clutched at his face. "Oooh, I'm so sorry, I messed this all up!"

"We can go over your self-loathing issues later." Blue stated. "We have something else to deal with."

The three watched as the red badge flew off into the horizon, reviving the Banki as a giant. "It's time to give you all a REAL SHOCKER!" It roared.

"We'll deal with this problem later, Max." Red stated, pulling out a ZooTag. "We have a city to protect." The other two nodded, and pulled out their Zootags as well.

In a few moments, ZooRobo, as well as ZooKami, appeared in front of the monster. They stomped forward through the plains, and brandished their weapons at it.

"You know, there's a lot of things electricity can do!" The monster started, almost nonsensically. "It can power refrigerators, it can turn on your lights, and it can strike down trees…" The two mechs looked at each other, confused.

The drums fell to its front again, and it began quickly beating them, forming another large cloud overhead.

"But in this case, it can OVERLOAD YOUR ROBOT!"

The lightning struck down on ZooKami, and it began to shudder and spark, before falling limp.

"Silver, are you alright!?" Blue yelled into the communicator.

He groaned back. "I'm as fine as can be for someone who got shocked with over ten thousand volts."

"Ten thousand volts!?" Blue yelled back. "And you lived?"

"Well, you guys survived worse earlier."

Blue's ears shot up. "Carrots, I think I just got one of your wacky ideas!"

"Oh great, love to hear it." She sarcastically responded.

ZooRobo stepped up to the monster. "Hey!" Blue yelled from inside. "I bet you can't do that to us, I bet you couldn't even power a toaster!"

"Watch your mouth!" The Banki Beast yelled back. "You wanna see a light show!? I'll give you your own personal one!"

He started beating on the drums again, another large cloud forming above them. He continued pounding the drums for much longer than before, until the lightning in the cloud turned red. He swung his hand forward.

"Sure this is a good idea, Nick!?" Red yelled to her partner.

"I'm about fifty percent sure!" He said. "BRACE YOURSELF!"

The red bolt struck them, and ZooRobo began to shudder and spark as well, before powering down.

"Guys?" Silver said into the communicator. "GUYS!? Are you alright!?"

There was silence for a moment.

Then, there was an answer.

"How's it going, Wolfsbane?" Nick said, clearly in his own voice.

"What were you even trying to accomplish there, I mean…" He paused for a second. "Wait, did you two…?"

"You got it!" Red said. "Nick Wilde's back and he's foxier than ever!"

"Judy Hopps, reporting for duty!" Judy announced also in her own voice.

"So what if you got your bodies back!?" The monster roared. "Your robots aren't working, so I can easily defeat you!"

"Wouldn't be so sure of that!" Blue said, waving a blue ZooTag.

"Yeah, we've got some reinforcements." Red followed, holding up a gold ZooTag.

They both plugged them into their Zoolizers.

"BANG BANG
BOOM BOOM!
IT'S RODEO TIME!
ZOOBISON!"

"JUNGLE MIND!
BUSTING TIME!
UKI UKI OO!
ZOOSARU!"

The two mechs appeared in front of them, the bison letting out a loud snort, while the ape pounded its chest. "Alright guys, you know what to do!" Blue yelled, pointing towards the monster.

ZooSaru leaped up, and started pounding on the drums hanging from the monster. "Hey! Get off of there!"

With each pound, lightning shot from the monster's head, forming another cloud. As soon as it was big enough, the ape robot delivered a final pound to the drum, breaking it from the monster's body.

"No, my drums!" It yelled out. The beast attempted to attack the monkey, but was knocked back by a punch.

ZooBison let out another snort, and charged into the beast, knocking it back a bit. "Hey, watch it!" It yelled, keeping an eye on the robotic bison as it headed to the front of ZooKami. It snorted again, and charged forward, this time directly into the monsters legs, flipping it forward, arms flailing.

The thunder cloud crackled, and shot a bolt directly at ZooKami. There was a beep, and suddenly the robot rose again.

"Alright, back online!" Silver said. He looked over to the still non-functional ZooRobo. "You guys need some help?"

"Nope," Blue sounded. "We just need you to finish him off!"

"Got it." ZooKami turned towards the monster, who was now all but powerless.

"Stop right there!" It said, backing away. "Or I'll…" He felt at his chest, searching for the crank. "I'll, uh…"

"Alright, let's just get this done with!" ZooKami raised its blade above its head. "Time for your dawn to end!" The sword began glowing with silver energy. "ECLIPSE CUTTER!" He brought the sword down, the energy collecting and firing as a disc, which sliced directly through the monster.

It let out a cry of pain as it sparked and stumbled. "Guess I'm the one who got shocked!" He yelled, falling over and exploding.

ZooKami quickly spun around, and struck a pose.

---

"Well, that certainly was a day, wasn't it?" Nick said as they entered the apartment. He stretched out. "Feels good to be back in my own body. Though, it is a bit sore…"

"That's from when I tried to escape from those loan sharks." Judy stated, hopping over to the couch. "I was almost killed, remember?"

"Well, technically both you and I were almost killed there." Nick corrected, moving over to the couch. He sat down next to her, paws on his lap. "Do you think you can forgive me for that?"

"Of course I can." She said. "You were just trying to help a friend… even if it was through a seedy method."

"Thanks." He sighed. "I have to apologize about being really rude to you this morning."

"I should apologize for that too." The rabbit said. "I just assumed you were just going to do something stupid."

"Hey, I survived more than a minute on your farm." He said, leaning back. "And you didn't die, so I'd say it's a win-win."

She chuckled. "Next time, I won't doubt you when you say something's important. I know for a fact you could have talked your way out of that." She jabbed the fox in the arm with her elbow.

"And I know you could've handled your family better." Nick stated, rubbing his arm. "I feel like I botched the entire thing. Your parents would probably hate me if I had actually been there."

"Well," Judy started, moving up closer to him. "Next week is the Carrot Day Festival, we could go, if you want." She suggested. "It might be a better way to get to know my family."

"You know," He started, looking at her. "That'd be lovely."

Fun fact, I was originally going to call this chapter Freaky Furday, but it doesn't happen on a Friday so that pun doesn't work.

Body swap plots are a time-honored tradition of Super Sentai, so it was only natural that something like it show up here. This was also really hard to write, and doesn't have a lot of Sentai stuff in it either. I wanted to milk as much comedy as I could in the limited time I had, and I feel I did well enough.

Writing the last action sequence was somewhat difficult, mostly because I thought it might get confusing with the color codenames. Hope it worked out, and no one got too confused.

Next time, It's a bug hunt, man.
