"KILL HIM! KILL HIM!" The yell had come from a lion who wore just a periwinkle ankle-length nightshirt and a gold crown with jewels.

The lion was currently pointing a finger at a red furred fox with white underbelly up to his muzzle, he also fox had brown eyes and a black nose. The fox wore a green tunic, brown pants, elf-like green shoes, a brown belt, and a green slanted hat with a red feather in it. The fox was currently swimming away from the lion and his burning castle, the fox swam and swam as his bow and quiver which were currently swishing in rhythm with his swimming.

"KILL HIM ARCHERS! KILL ROBIN HOOD!" The lion yelled with rage as a group of wolf archers ran up next to him and aimed at the fox in the moat away from the burning and fiery castle.

The archers soon launched their arrows upon the swimming form of Robin Hood.

"Jack! Jack, over here!" Yelled a vixen who currently waited near the moat.

The vixen had white fur up to her muzzle, red fur, and a black nose. The vixen was also slender, she also wore a pink veil and lavender dress as well. As soon as Jack(Robin Hood) heard/saw the vixen, he immediately changed directions and started swimming directly towards her while dodging many arrows at the same time. However, due to him changing directions...he didn't dodge them all.

"Arg!" He yelled out as an arrow hit him in the leg.

Luckily he had made it to shore infront of the vixen just in time for her to drag him out of the water before another arrow could hit him. Meanwhile at the castle's wall, the lion laughed his head off in trimupth as he took out his dagger.

"Hehehe! He's wounded! This all too perfect!" He laughed triumphantly as he walked out the front gate.

"Now...time to finish this once and for all by killing Robin Hood..." He said with clear mailance in his voice as he held the dagger close.

The dagger gleamed in the pale moonlit sky as he followed the vixen who carried Jack ,Robin Hood, to finally finish him off once and for all..."

1st P.O.V

I woke up with a start as the train screeched to a stop and doors opened.

19 Years Later...

Zootopia Central Station

I slowly blinked away the sleep from my eyes as I got up into a sitting position, yawned, and stretched.

A bell donged as the intercom said, "Thank you once again for using Zootopia Express Way, we would personally like to welcome you to the grand city of Zootopia. Home to some of the most famous mammals in the world such as Gazelle. Thank you and enjoy your stay in the city where 'anyone can be anything'..."

With that the intercom shut off as I propped my hat onto my head and grabbed my suitcase and wooden case. I took a long stare at the wooden case, it was left with me on the doorstep of my Mom and Dad's home when they found me. They told me that the note said I would know what to do with it when the time came. Though I had no idea what that meant...

By the way, the name's Robin Carter. As you hadn't noticed I'm a fox with red fur and a white underbelly up to my muzzle. I also happen to have a black nose, I also had blue eyes as well. I also happen to be wearing a green shirt, tan pants with a brown belt, my signature green hat, and a pair of green elf-like shoes which always seemed to give me odd looks from most mammals wherever I went. It was probably the fact that us mammals rarely ever wore shoes... Oh and one more thing before I continue this story, vixens I'm single...if you didn't hear anything, I just made a click-click noise with my muzzle...

Anyway, after having stared at the wooden case for what seemed like forever, I shook the thoughts out of my head and made my way towards the doors which would lead to a place I hadn't been to since I was twelve...Zootopia... I hadn't been here for nineteen years, yet...it feels like only yesterday when I left my friends. I still miss, Nick...we were like brothers, I still think about every now and then. Wondering what he's up to, then again I hope he's been doing the same thing with me... Things had gone great for me, I learned fencing. Which was basically sword fighting, Mom wasn't very happy when she found out. Though Dad and my little brother John had laughed their heads off at the sight as I ran through the house dodging her broom with a broom of my own as we had a pretend sword fight, incase you ask.

Yes, I won the sword fight. Though I personally loved learning about Archery, heck I was so good at it that within three years after learning it I became a master at it! By far, Archery is my favorite thing! Give me a bow and a quiver of arrows and those targets are history! As soon as I walked out the train's door I saw...a large station with mammals walking everywhere...along with a few blocking my path as well. Before walking off into the crowd of mammals, I put on my favorite song...I'm Gonna Be(500 Miles) by The Claimers. I've listened to the song since I first heard it from my Mom, heck she used to give me mix tapes for my Zony Walkman. By far my favorite was the Rad Mix she gave me when I turned fourteen, it had all of her favorite songs into one tape. As I walked out into downtown, I looked around at how much things had changed.

Boy had it too...the old VHS store was replaced with a small grocery store, the old comic book store was replaced with a video game store called PAWSTOP, and the old book store had gotten much larger than when I had last seen it. But I had no time to look around because I had to get to my job, or jobs now... A pair of lion brothers named Richard and John Lionheart had hired me to prove one of their ancestors are innocent. They were the inspiration for Prince John in the stories of Robin Hood, apparently mammals around here just like in Burrow Central City thought the legend was real and based upon actual events that happened. I just really hope the mammals around here don't start calling me Robin Hood like the mammals in Burrow Central City do.

It's already annoying enough with every bunny, hare, tortoise,and mouse saying things like "Here comes our mighty Robin of Sherwood!", "Hey Robin! your gonna enter that archery contest, right? I hear the prize is you get to kiss Maid Marian!", and worst of all..."Oh...Robin Hood without Little John walking through the city...". Sometimes I think they got the song from the Walt Baxter version, especially after I had pranked my high school principal Mr. Forester. People had even sometimes called him Bushel-Britches and even the Sheriff of Nottingham, though the whole Bushel-Britches thing came up because of John. After I pranked him by dressing up as the superintendent and pretending to come in for an inspection. Yeah...Mr Forester wasn't too happy about that, since then he's kept an eye on me and he hates it when I dress up for a play and will sometimes say things like "You better not be trying to dress in one of your stupid disguises, fox!" or "You'd better not be trying to pull another Robin Hood on me, Carter!". All in all, he was pretty much ticked that I had tricked him with a disguise. But, it was one-hundred percent worth it...

It was even worse for John, since he was a bear and adopted like me. He's called Little John by almost everyone in Burrow Central City. Heck when we're going on hikes as people pass by they'll say "Look there's Robin Hood and Little John!", "Hey Robin, Little John! Where's Maid Marian?", and of course their favorite little tone from that Baxter movie adaptation..."Oh...Robin Hood and Little John, walking through the forest..." But hopefully I can put all of that to rest after I prove thereal Prince John's innocence. The second group that hired me ,surprisingly, was the ZPD. Apparently according to them, an old antique shop was robbed. There were only two things stolen, the first was a crown supposedly worn by King Richard and Prince John.

The second was a dagger that the Prince supposedly owned and used to kill Robin Hood, though the second part of that supposedly used to kill Robin Hood was probably a lie so people would buy it. I still didn't understand why they needed me in the first place...why would you need not only a master of archery, but also a fox who knew more of the stories and legend of Robin Hood than anyone else? It just didn't seem right...
