Yay! New chapter is finally done! I can't believe how much time it takes me to come up with something like this. I wish I had better ideas for this kind of thing. I'm still in the buildup for the huge operation...did I say that out loud…?

Anyway, I hope you all this. Favorite, follow, perhaps leave a review to tell me what you thought of this chapter and what you would like to see in the next on? Anyway, today's inspirational song is technically four. They're the Fated Four themes from Monster Hunter Generations. Now, enjoy the chapter and Happy (albeit late) New Year!

"Oh, that is so cute!" A female cheetah let out as Nick, Judy, and Ardenhu walked through the streets of Tundra Town. The fox and rabbit had opted to take heavy jackets. For some reason the wolf hadn't taken anything save for light clothes that he was wearing. Though they were all black. He seemed to be fine though.

The cheetah was standing next to who Nick thought to be her boyfriend. A small smile made its way to his muzzle. The world was getting better. Though something did feel off. The fox somehow felt like what had been happening was about to get even worse. Which left him with all the more to worry about now that he and Judy were together, officially.

"You two, I need you to follow me." Ardenhu said. It was strange due to the fact that he hadn't said anything as they walked. Nick looked at Judy and they both shrugged, complying. He headed into a rather fancy hotel. It definitely wasn't the one he had decided to switch to. The two officers had been to it. The wolf walked to the front desk and asked where someone was. Neither of them could tell what he had said, for they were not within earshot. The wolf nodded and thanked the receptionist, walking towards one of the hallways. Again the two followed him.

He stopped at a door labeled with a fanciful seventeen on it. He knocked four times and stepped back. Almost a minute later, the door opened to reveal a rather large figure who ducked under the door frame to see who it was.

"Ah, I figured you would come to visit me soon enough. And I see you've brought friends. Come in. I'll have some tea ready soon." The figure said. The bunny and fox looked at each other, confused, but followed Ardenhu in nonetheless. When they got into the very expensive looking apartment, they realized just who the figure was in the doorway. It was the dagon that the three had seen on Judy's T.V. back at her apartment. His scales were a vibrant red and seemed to sheen in the light. Judy marveled at him, and Nick seemed astonished that the tales were true. The dragon's smile that he gave the two seemed genuine and sincere. Nick could see his wings tucked in behind him, a bone peaking out at the top of each of them.

"Now then. Shall we have tea?" As the dragon finished his sentence, a tea kettle began to whistle. He walked into the adjoining kitchen and pulled the kettle off the stove, pouring the steaming liquid into five cups. Nick's brow furrowed and he thought this was strange as there was only four of them. Just as the dragon was setting the cups down at the table, the door opened to reveal another dragon. Obviously female, she stopped as she saw the three others in the room. She looked to the other dragon and relaxed almost immediately.

"Now, I must say, Arden. You have surrounded yourself with quite the talented mammals." The male dragon said. He chuckled as Arden shot him a rather playful look. It made Nick's brows furrow even more.

"That's a lot coming from you, Kryen. Your whole family are leaders of the Aubade Clan." The wolf smiled as Kryen rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah, well." He trailed off as the female dragon hugged him from behind. Kryen looked up and smiled. "Oh, where are my manners. My name is Kryentesian Malchovent. But please, call me Kryen." He extended his hand to Nick. Warily the fox shook it.

"Nick Wilde." He simply said. He was still unsure what of these two and their intentions.

"Judy Hopps. Pleasure." Judy said as she shook the dragon's hand.

"Ah, but the pleasure is all mine. This is my lovely wife, Misamina." He gestured to the dragon still draped on him.

"Call me Mina, please." She gave the two a sweet smile as she grabbed one of the cups and sipped from it. The two smaller mammals sat down in the same chair since they were much larger than they needed to be for the two of them. Nick took one of the cups that was in front of him. Sniffing it, he checked it for anything.

"It's fine. If there was something in it, I wouldn't be drinking it." Arden said. He sipped the tea again, an errant eye looking at them over the rim of the cup. He was sitting directly across from the duo. It gave the fox chills with the way he was looking at the two of them.

"Now, what is it that you came here to talk about?" Kryen asked as he leaned towards the wolf. Arden sighed and set his drink down.

"Straight to the point, huh?" He sighed again and crossed his arms, leaning forward. "You know what's been been happening with all of these murders and robberies, right?"

This shocked the two officers. No one had heard of anything like this at precinct one. They both looked at Arden with shocked and confused stares.

"The ZBI has been handling all of them. That's why you haven't been as busy." Arden said to them. "Now then, we know exactly who it is that's been doing most of this. As for their whereabouts, I haven't the slightest."

"I read your report." Kryen said. He leaned into the table and intertwined his hands together. "I'm rather concerned. On one hand, I'm the ambassador for my clan. On the other, I want to help you as best I can."

Nick tuned them out, letting his mind wander. Nothing major had really been happening since that panther had tried to give a bomb to them at the Precinct. It just didn't sit right with the fox. There was barely anything worth reporting but drug dealings and robberies. From what Arden had been saying is that the ZBI was taking care of the murders.

"Nick!" Judy yelled. The fox jolted and toppled off of the chair. He hit the floor with a loud thud. "Oh! Are you okay?!" She yelled as she jumped down from the chair to check on him. The fox let out a groan and sat up.

He rubbed the back of his head and looked to his bunny. She had a mixed expression of hilarity and concern. Although concern was what was dominant. He chuckled lightly and pulled himself back into the seat.

"I'll be okay. I've taken harder hits." He chuckled a little and so did Kryen. "Anyway, something was needed of me?"

"Yeah. We need your network of connections at our disposal. Your lengthy connections may help us in this case." This made Nick chuckled for a little bit. Then his phone rang. He pulled it out and answered, setting it on the table and setting it to speaker.

"Nick! I need to talk to you." It was Finnick. He sounded like it was rather urgent. "I got some info on those guys that you asked me about. They're mostly a group of mammals that wanna take out the government and the police to put their leader in power."

"Well then. Thanks for the info, bud. By the way, Judy says 'hi'." A grumble could be heard from the other line before it went dead. He looked up to the others at the table and they looked right back at him. He chuckled a little and smiled.

"I was one step ahead." He said simply. Arden looked at his dragon friend and they nodded at each other.

"Just keep us posted, got it?" Kryen asked in a serious tone. His face had gotten serious as well, obviously not joking. Nick nodded and leaned back, putting his paws behind his head. He let the voices of the wolf and the two dragons be drowned out by his own thinking. He looked to his partner who was looking right back at him. She had a small smile on his muzzle, almost laughing.

"If you'll excuse us." The little rabbit said as she jumped down from the chair, pulling Nick along with her. The fox almost stumbled and fell onto the floor again. Once he got his footing, he followed Judy out of the apartment and out into the streets again.

He found himself looking at Judy most of the time as he followed the rabbit. She had let go of his paw and left him to follow her on his own. Before long, Arden had caught up to them. None of them said anything. Once they were back at their respective hotels, Nick flopped down on the single bed that was in his and Judy's room.

Judy had gone into the bathroom to take a shower after all that had been going on lately. Nick just couldn't shake the feeling that none of this was over. It made his brow furrow in thought. Just what was this organization truly planning? Where were they located, and how could they be stopped?

There we go! I got it done faster than I thought I would this time! I do know one thing. I'm not done with this one and I won't be for a while. I want to have at least 20 chapters to this arc, and possibly more than that. More than likely there will be more than my plans.

Anywho. REVEIWS!

MrAndersIversen: I'm glad that you like it so much and you've taken a fancy to my writing style. I will have more for you and anyone else to read.

Cimar of Turalis WildeHopps: I know how you feel. Jack Savage has been mentioned and I might have him make an appearance in a later chapter, but he won't be playing a huge role in the operation. On a side note, your writing is awesome.

TheHuntingHydra: So you wanna start throwing things at me, huh? *pulls a sword out out of nowhere and cuts everything out of the air* You should have thought about that before you made me angry. Lol jk.

Okay, that's done. Another chapter in the bag. And now I'm going to go slave away and pull the next chapter out of my brain.

Until the next chapter, may inspiration light your paths,
