Hours later, the convoy finally arrived at the airport. After parking at the designated spot in the apron, Splero, Michelle and Chimpan disembarked from the car. In front of them were a few Etrich Taubes and some passenger airliners parked. Some were taxiing back to the hangars.

'Here we are, guys. Welcome to Zootopia International Airport.'

'Hey, Splero.'

'Yes, Chimpan?'

'Why were there only a few planes here?'

'That's because the other airliners were being diverted to different airports throughout Zootopia. In fact, this airport wasn't built to received such a large airplane from somewhere in my opinion.'

'What kind of plane that we're dealing with anyway?'

'We'll be receiving a Tupolev Tu-95, Chimpan. It's a large airplane too. You and Michelle would be so surprised to see it coming shortly.'

'Tu-95, you say?! Now that's a beast there!'

'I know. It's a large and loud beast I could say.'

A ZPD cruiser arrived behind them and both Officers Nick and Judy disembarked.

'Heya, guys!'

'Heya, Sire. Is the VIPs were here now?'

'Not yet, Judy but they'll be here shortly.'

Nick chuckled.

'Oh boy. I can't wait for this moment.'

'I guess so myself too, Officer Wilde.'

Michelle looked at Judy.

'How's everyone back at the ZPD, Judy?'

'They were all set, Michelle. In fact, they were all bewildered.'

'Really?'

'Yeah. The ZPD had never been ordered for a massive security preparation in years.'

Emperor Splero looked up and saw something in the sky.

'Speaking of preparation, here comes our foreign guests.'

The monarch gave a pair of binoculars to Chimpan while the others could see a shiny silver drop on the sky from a distance.

'You're right, Splero.'

'Hey! It's moving in fast!'

'Yep.'

Splero then prepares some ear plugs for everyone.

'Put these ear plugs, guys.'

Nick pondered in confusion. So did Judy and Michelle.

'What was those for?'

'Just trust me. You all certain going to need it.'

Everyone took the ear plugs and they plugged them in as the plane started to approach the airport. After a few minutes, a large airplane was finally visible and was about to land. The loud noise of the plane's turboprop engines was so deafening even though they already put their ear plugs on.

'Whoa!'

'What a large plane there!'

'Splero, what is that thing?'

'That is the plane of the VIPs, guys. It's the revered Russian-made Tu-95 from the early 50s.'

'Such a monstrosity!'

Chimpan and Splero chuckled triumphantly while they covered their ears as the large Russian heavy bomber finally landed on the runway. As soon as the plane veered away towards the end, Splero looked at the others.

'Come on, guys! Let's meet them all in person!'

Splero and the others boarded onto their vehicles and immediately drove to the other side of the airport. ZNN reporters and photographers were catching the scenes on air as the airport officials moved in while the massive Tu-95 taxied towards to its designated parking spot of the apron. The plane was in a full stop when Splero's entourage arrived in time. Everyone disembarked while they covered their ears from the sheer noise emitting from the engines.

'This is it, guys. Be prepared to receive them.'

'I can't wait!'

'Does the pilots would even power down the engines a bit? I'm going to be deaf now.'

'Hang on it, Nick!'

As one of the airport technicians started to set a ladder underneath the plane's fuselage, the engines started to power down a bit. A hatch opened up and two brown bears exited out. Both of them were wearing Russian ushankas and grey military uniforms. One of them approached to Splero and the Emperor did the same. When they meet up close and personal, they handshake and pawshake with one another.

'Emperor Splero! It's nice to see you again!'

'Meet too, Comrade Teoro! Welcome to Zootopia!'

The brown bear chuckled deeply.

'Follow me, Teoro. My escorts would aid you in the convoy back to the Splenai Residence.'

Splero then escorted Teoro to the rest of the entourage.
