Alpha Base
The two intelligent animals were situated in their allocated room with now a TV installed for their entertainment, since they were both still unable to leave the room, and Judy recently request an hour of presentation regarding the Human History, which the Humans complied with a warning about the sensitive topics throughout the Human society, eager to learn more about the furless species.
"Are you sure about these, carrots? There is no turning back." Nick asked the bunny in concern, as he placed the Disk in the DVD, while he waited for Judy's confirmation.
"Yes, Nick. Besides, this is a once in a lifetime we will learn something new. Especially with Human way of life." She said with confidence, followed by a smile.
Nick just shrugged as he inserted the Disk, before turning on the television as it began it's presentation.
Taking a seat beside the smaller animal in the bed.
The video was focused on the dawn of Earth from fire and become to a Water World with the inhabitants from microorganisms then evolve to a species that they never seen or heard before that was living underwater, living in the environment of "Survival the Fittest". Enormous Marine Predators devour the prey with gore.
Throughout the first phase of life on Human Earth, the duo were very fascinated by the fact of a species very alien, yet. The Human still discovered what remains.
Then all of sudden, a fish tries to leave the water and make its way towards land and crawled.
The two were in utterly disbelief as the video switched to another kind of species followed by a written word in the screen.
"The life of Marine Mammals came to an end, the first extinction on Earth." Judy read out loud.
Next video presented the dawn of the infamous Dinosaurs, which is more captivating since the last presentation. Two to four legged reptilians a like with very dangerous nature.
Throughout the entire presentation, Nick and Judy found this more gory than the last with more dangerous species of its time. They were even surprised that some of the Jurassic Era have some resembles to the Modern Mammals in Zootopia, such as the prime example which is a Giraffe.
Another specie's life came to an abrupt end, marking the second extinction on Earth with a single asteroid a planet killer.
"At least that was taken care of." Nick said plainly as he watch the asteroid hits Earth.
Both of them were feeling lucky that the Jurassic Era never existed in their period of life, it will be very devastating if these creatures of the past still walking to this day.
The Earth was once again recovered from devastating extinction with another new life, which is the Humans ancestors. The primates.
A slide shows a monkey in a crouch position to the position where the primate were now fully standing in two legs and then become furless, which is now modern Humans.
"So, that's how humans evolve?" Judy said unsure of the fact.
Both of them were very shocked after finding out the true nature of Humanity of the past, which is all humans were carnivores.
They even surprised that the Humanity's ancestors were able to took down a enormous mammal covered in fur called a "Mammoth" with very identical resemblance with Elephant. Even scoring a kill with a feline that has long sabre teeth called "Sabertooth".
Both of these species were extinct due to their Tusk and Razor teeth are able to be crafted as weapons, such as spears and coats acting as shields on the on going "Ice Age".
Judy were very disgusted, when she heard about her species of bunnies were also being eaten by the humans. Meanwhile, Nick paid no mind to the scenery since the past era was very bloody and part of evolution.
Another era has began, humans were now able to communicate and hunting in packs with unbelievable event occurs.
The Humans now befriended the canines which was feral Wolves, they even become pet and symbols in some tribe of the humans.
They hunt in large group with their canine companions and working side by side taking down the Buffalos.
Evolution of society began from tribes to Empire and Kingdoms, deadly weapons, slavery, diplomacy, religions, plague, expansion, and the rise and fall of monarch nations.
Shock by the discovery, they were now became wary at the nature of new species of Humanity.
Then, Industrial Era has began, the intelligent minds and science of Humanity invented technology of wonders such as the discovery of piston and steam engines and discovery of oil as a way for a machine to work properly.
Meanwhile, the monarchy of Europe such as the powerhouse nations, such as the Spanish Empire and the British Empire began to expand more of their influence and religions to the indigenous people of Asia and African Continent.
Superpowers of Europe rises and civil wars in the North America was ignited throughout the world.
Most nations of that time were living in hell and heaven, vice versa.
United States of America established itself as a constitutional country and gained their independence from European invaders.
German Empire become one of the superpowers of Europe.
And so on.
Until an assassination occur and successfully killed an infamous Hungarian monarch figure...
The world first deadliest conflict erupted.
"World War 1." Nick read out loud, while taking a small bite on a bag of potato chips.
Judy gulp half a bottle of water and then focused her attention completely at the TV.
New weapons was introduced in the theatre of war ranging from tanks, artillery, war planes, warships and so on.
Every European power, including the USA. United against a single nation, which is the German Empire. Whom used the first infamous bio chemical weapon.
Nick and Judy watched in silence as they watch the cloud of death approach the opposite army, killing in very inhumanly way.
Flamethrowers was also weapons from hell, they both watched a group of French soldiers equip with flamethrowers, mowed down a trench full of German soldiers as they scream in agony.
Even French tanks rolled down some of the defenceless German soldiers like a watermelon, as their screams of plead were silence by the tracks of the tanks.
The two animals were very traumatized at the Humanity's first world conflict. Then after few years it took as the first world war came to an end.
After the first war, the slide shows hundreds upon thousands of corpses littered around the large graves and dozens of casing from Artilleries, machine guns and bolt-action rifles, as the soldiers began to clean the remains of the war.
"This is horrible." Judy mumbled as she watch the coffins being buried in numerous graves.
"Even babies and younger ones were also being slaughtered. I can't believe the Humans could do this to their species for just a single man." Nick said with disgust.
The used to be greenish landscape was destroyed by war, trees split in half, grass turned into sea of mud and blood, even some feral animals could be seen wondering at the battlefield, looking for food.
Then, the slide changes to 1920s to 30s, showing huge innovation to the civilian infrastructures, newly improve TVs and cars was also been shown.
Nick was getting tired of seeing the "innovations" by the human society, while Judy watched with awe.
Moments later, another grim history was shown that will traumatized them more.
Germany that was used to be a Empire turned into a fascist nation led by a austrian man with unique mustache and chancellor of Germany with a party called "The Nazi Party and Waffen SS". Completely overthrowing the Monarchy.
The Japanese Empire led by Emperor Hirohito and Prime minister Tojo. Began invading smaller nations then came to the Korean Peninsula and Chinese mainland.
Until around September 1939, the communist country of Soviet Union and Nazi Germany invaded the small nation of Poland from two fronts and completely annexing the said nation.
Judy and Nick was caught by surprise as they see dozens of Humans in chains mostly heading towards the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany build the infamous "Concentration camps" in Poland.
Several months have passed, Nazi Germany breaks the pact with the Soviet Union and attacked them indiscriminately. Therefore, Germany attacked the rest of the Europe with the exception of Switzerland, completely ruling half of Europe.
The Battle of Britain was also been presented, while the Brits tries to encourage their allies the Americans to join on the war on Europe. The Americans sends a handful of pilots to Britain in effort to stall the German Bombing campaigns.
Out of nowhere, the Japanese Empire acts suspiciously as they evacuated their delegation in Washington, which the Americans intercepted the Morse code of the Japanese saying their peace talks was useless and moments after that. A surprise attack was carried out by Japanese Navy in Pearl Harbor, forcing the Americans into the war.
The first cannon of the second world war was has fired. The narrator in the presentation reads the words out loud.
Judy and Nick watched in horror due to a series of invasions, tank and air battles, the battle of Stalingrad, war crimes, Pacific theatre, and the Holocaust.
"What are they even fighting for?" Nick asked to no one in anger.
Judy watched the Jews being executed by a firing squad of the Waffen SS and being forced on a hard labor.
In a span of 6 years of bloody war, it come to an end as the axis pact was being defeated. But, it cost a lot of lives which to the shock of the animals, after seeing the death toll of the world war.
"85 Million lives?!" Both of them exclaimed at the same time.
They couldn't both believe on what they've witness, the slide shows this war was the most destructive conflict in human history.
As they watch, they also witnesses the age of atomic to very deadly arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
New weapons was also introduced during the proxy wars between the two Giants and new innovations in civilian infrastructures was introduced.
After years of intense cold war that was nearly heated, if heated there will be another world war that could lead to extinction of human civilization.
Once again, they were both speechless at the Humanity's history... Until the incident that would change the world forever.
Two skyscrapers could be seen in flames, red themed square was in ruins, killing thousands of civilians in the process.
September 11, 2001. The world wouldn't expect this catastrophic attack at the same time. The United States of America, and the Russian Federation has been under attack by a group calling themselves "Al Quada" claiming they were the perpetrators of the attack. Killing numerous of civilians, by inhumane attacks. This is the first time in history the two powerful nations with the previous history in Afghanistan was attacked.
A male reporter stated with solemn.
Then a video shows two familiar flags in the background of a conference room, before two individuals stood up from their opposite tables then shake their hands.
We can't believe what we are witnessing right now folks! Two former rivals formed an joint operation in effort to erradicate the Al Quada and other terrorist in Afghanistan. Right now, the European Union are also wants to join the operation in Afghanistan to bring justice to the fallen innocent people died during the simultaneously attack on both capital cities.
Both mammals was even more surprised that the two former enemies become allies in the dark times, but that's not all.
A female reporter could be seen with surprised expression, before stating the news, calmly.
Breaking news! The People's Republic of China wanted to join the "Joint Operation" in Afghanistan in effort to bring justice and stabilization in the ruined nation.
They heard it loud and clear, the former ally of a communist nation wants to join the frenzy due to sympathy of the dead in U.S. and Russia, which added another shock to the world.
Several months of heavy fighting in Afghanistan have passed. The U.S.A., EU, and both Russia and China whom participated in the military operation to erradicate the insurgent groups in Afghanistan completely wiped out the said group in the nation, killing the leaders of the terrorists, finally bringing peace to the country.
Few years have passed, the world move on from the catastrophic attack, the nations that was once former enemies, set aside their old rivalries in order to help the weak. Forming the United Nations to seek peace and stabilization throughout the entire planet of Earth.
More and more innovations was shown from civilian and military. The Humanity's colonization of Mars was presented and the portal to Zootopia included, taking the first leap to humanity's space travel. Which to both of mammals amazement.
After the presentation came an end. Both of them looked to each other.
"I guess, we mammals could get along too, like what the humans did." Nick said to the bunny.
"You're right, Nick. But, we have to be wary about them. If we are free to go, we should report this to Chief Bogo and Mayor Lionheart. Even the humans looked very weak due to their body structures, their history suggest other wise. We don't want their weapons reached Zootopia, don't you?" Judy responded.
"Hmm. Maybe, we should try to talk to the humans, if we are very lucky." Nick said.
As if on cue, a loud voice was heard.
You guys are very lucky.
A sound of a speaker was heard followed by a hissing sound from the door. Revealing a human in white lab coat, followed by guards with beret hats and patches that said "M.P.".
"There is a current negotiation taking place in Geneva, Switzerland." The scientist said positively, before grabbing the remote and changing the channel.
What they've seen in the TV was a round table with the familiar Buffalo and Lion could be seen together with the Human officials talking with each other.
"That mean. Zootopia and Humanity will established some kind of ties?" Nick asked the human with curiosity.
"Yes, this will be the historical moment between our Worlds and the first intelligent life we discovered." The man in white coat said.
"Then, what will happen to us?" Judy asked with doubt.
It took about a minute before the human response to her question.
"You are free to go."
