Chapter 6: The Zootopia Connection (Part 1)

A/N: Welcome back guys, I'm sure you waiting for this chapter, am I right mate? Thanks to zayasjosh100 for the antagonist name. Anyway, here is it. Thanks to Pizzalovers6262 on advertising my story on 'A Wish Come True' I think? And also thanks for hitting 1200+ views on this story. It gets some attention right now. Keep reading guys.

Me: Finnick, you're done yet? I'm about to started this chapter. And where's John? I didn't see him anywhere.

Finnick: I'm almost done, Calvin. About John… let's say he get us some Chinese food.

Me: Chinese food? Walao wei, my favorite- Oh Nick, what do you get when you cross a joke with rhetorical question?

Nick: *raise a finger, then put it down* that is a joke, Calvin.

Me: Got you… *smile wide like Joker*

I grunted as I woke up in the middle of nowhere. Everything came up slowly as I opened my eye. The first thing I saw is the white ceiling of a room. There's a beep, constant as my heart. Two beeps actually, one is slightly faster than mine. IV's connected to my arms as I look to my left. I look to my right; a large ear with dark shade sticking out in the open on the bed. Finnick as the name came as lightning to my mind. He's just occupied one tenth of the bed, the same size of where I'm resting now. My head feels like the gravitational pull is ten times stronger than the usual 9.8 m s^2. (Science fact) (A bit of 'Walao, so heavy lo…')

"This is just great." I spoke to myself, barely heard. I started to scan the room which I presume a hospital room, thanks to the smell of the medicine lingering around. My watch, my phone, and my wallet were on the table just within my reach towards my right. I grabbed my phone which is closer to me. I open the app called 'A.I Talk'. As usual, I type in the message in which John Doe would respond, hopefully.

'Yo John, you there?' It took a minute to get a reply.

'Yep, I'm here. Sorry for not to warn you fast on incoming incident a few days ago.'

'Few days? How long I've been out?'

'About a week.' A week?

'Yes, and I get the information of someone who attacked you back there. I can't get much info as most of the documents were falsified. But I get some on who's they working for. Goes by the name Emanuel. He's the first human that came in Zootopia before, but he's gone mad on me.'

"Wait, he's here? Beside me?' I leaped in joy in my heart, only to be broken by the next message.

'Don't get joy too fast, Calvin. He came here a few years ago, like seven years. I'm about your age when I've met him. Spent three years with me in Zootopia University. We both get expelled due to our last project. I believed that Flash had insisted you to wear the TMD.'

'Yep. He did insist me in the first place.'

'Here's a thing, Calvin. He's getting you not because you're a human, but due to you being my first successful subject to be teleported into here, legally. He's been teleported here by accident on my university project during the space-time curving demonstration. He's been searching for me, trying to get him back to your dimension. But I say to him it was one way only, so he gets mad on it.'

'So what all this fuzz about?' I asked John Doe carefully. A minute pass by when next message appeared.

'It's about himself.'

'What about him?' I asked him in curiosity.

'Before he broke our friendship, he managed to turn himself into an animal. Another reason why we been expelled, and he gets madder at me. I've been working on something, trying to turn him into any animal he likes for a limited amount of time without the animal instinct of the animal he transformed into. I've made a mistake while formulating the serum. It was supposed to temporary turn himself into animal for a day, but he can't turn back into his original human body then.'

'So, what kind of animal he is now?' I asked that question out of curiosity.

'A timber wolf, but it kind of a giveaway when he's with another pack of wolves. See, when one wolf started to howl, other tends to howl back. But he's the one who doesn't howl back. Or rather do any howling at all. I don't know why he's mad at me, but he does look good in wolf form. So, thanks to those mistake, that where I came up with hologram. The cover I've recommended to you? It works well, right?' The message ends with sheepish smile emoji.

'Yes, it works well, until Finnick came in by the time I lower my cover.'

'That is your mistake.' I just grunt at that.

'Okay, back to the main topic; why he trying to kill me back there?'

'I don't know about that, but in the meantime, I hooked you up with latest info about him later. Is my Nissan GT-R is safe with you because I doubt it…'

'Well, technically it's mine now.'

'Whatever Calvin, don't scratch it. Tell me when you get better; I'll get Mr. Manchas to pick you up, or the cops first. I'm out.'

With that the app quits itself, returning to main screen. I put my phone away when two mammals enter the room; a tigress and a badger. The badger must be the doctor since he's using long white coat, and a name tag 'Dr. Julius' hanging on it. They checked on Finnick first. Later, they reach me, somewhat no fear shown on their face. Dr. Julius started to speak up first as the tigress check on my prognosis.

"Feeling better yet Mr. Calvin?"

"How do you know my name?" I just groaned the question I asked.

"Well… before you got here, someone told me that an accident happened in Downtown by SMS directly to my phone. We dispatch one of our ambulances to pick you up. When they get there, they also were informed on your kind. So…" I cut his word.

"I guess that the victim involved in the accident were Gazelle, her two tigers, Chief Bogo, Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, Finnick and finally, me. Do I get it all right?"

"Well, certainly yes. You are the second one of your kind here after Emanuel the Human seven years ago. Don't worry about how we treated you; we've recorded everything on how your body works, thanks to him. Oh and there's an archive of him on the ZNN channel seven years ago. Here's the website." Our little talk end as the tigress had done with her job, handing out the tablet to Dr. Julius and he handing me the website address of Emanuel by a piece of paper. He looks through on the data of my prognosis, I think. A few moments later and they left the room, leaving me and Finnick. I just sigh long enough for someone to reenter the room shortly. I shoot a glance over the door; a bunny and a fox, in uniform of blue, enters the room. That is fast recovery.

"So, our human just wake up from his sleeping beauty, eh?" Nick, as usual, spoke up first before Judy did.

"Yup, still having on that headache thingy around…" I tried my best to sound like not feeling well. It may fool Judy, but Nick somehow picks up the lies.

"You know, you can put down your act, little guy." That just made me returned to my original voice.

I sigh, "Say how was my act?" Nick just snickers a little.

"Nice, just deepen your voice." That comment just made Judy punch him in the arm. "Shut up. I take it from here. Go see your friend over there." Judy whispered to Nick, which wasn't really a whisper. She came up to my side, pulling out a notepad and her carrot pen. Nick went to Finnick who still asleep which is kind of cute from my view.

"So…" Judy started to speak, reading something from her notepad. "You were called as human by the doctor, and back at the apartment." She flips up another page of the notepad, "Your name is Calvin Nyala, age 18, no driving license, reckless driving, intended to pull a race with police officer, and dangerous driving, but…" She flips up another page. "For the time, we decided to put you into protection custody from chief's order." And she closes her notepad with one flip. How she stare at me, was a mean one. Don't ask why.

A sound came off from Nick side. He apparently took a photo of Finnick on the bed as he managed to suppress his laughter from bursting out. He shook his head as he turns towards us, eye still locked at his smartphone screen. An awkward silence follows as we all stare into each other's eye, trying to figure out words, and who gets to speak first.

"Okay… what are we going to talk about?" I asked them a question in awkward voice, trying to break the long silence.

"Well… I don't know. I just stated the fact that you will be put into our protection custody since the criminal, or the mercenaries who hunt you down back there will come any time." Judy answered flat tone. Nick just nodded at what she said, not saying a word.

"So, I take a guess; you guys are here, to babysit me? Waiting for someone to pick me up? And where the hell you get that kind of info?" I scowled the last question.

"Let's say that your phone just give it away, 'From JD, with love' is the last message." Judy answers my entire question, thanks to John Doe as an A.I. I just swear that he can't give more than that, doesn't he?

A few days later and Finnick and I are free to go. And by free means I have to be at the ZPD Precinct 1 for those 'protection custody' while Finnick was sent home to John Doe's apartment in Rainforest District. Mr. Manchas pick up Finnick in his metallic black Hummer H2 with chrome rim. A few minutes later I get picked up by none other than the dynamic duo, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde in police cruiser, which is a Ford Crown Victoria. (Thanks to Google for the info because I'm not from America). I get to the back seat, which is unusual since it was for criminal, I may be one but not in cuffed, and I offered myself into it.

"Hey Calvin, where's Finnick? He was supposed to be with you right?" Nick asked me after I close the door from shogun seat.

"Well, he was picked up by Mr. Manchas. John Doe had paid him to pick Finnick up and dropped him at his home, well technically my home. And when I'll be free from all of this?"

"After you care to explain how you get here, to get clear charges off you and getting your Nissan GT-R out of the compound, it's becoming an attraction. And you know what charges are, don't you?" Judy then question me when we all rolling out from Zootopia General Hospital (which I took a glance at the sign at the entrance of the hospital before hitting the open road). I just sit back there, looking outside the car as it cruised down the road to ZPD Precinct 1. The city never ceases to amaze me, especially up close. All mammals are living in harmony, prey and predator, up close, with technology. It's one in the afternoon when we halfway there, so we stopped for lunch.

Judy parked the cruiser, stopping in front of a Chinese fast food restaurant, Xiao Po's Panda Express (have to borrow some name from another movie, sorry), just behind a metallic black Hummer H2 with chrome rim. When we enter the restaurant, some mammals are throwing a glance at us, more specifically me. But it was not a long glance as they probably knew me, maybe since from the accident that put me a week and three days in the hospital. From the front door of the restaurant, we can clearly see Mr. Manchas and Finnick having chow mien, one for each (although Finnick will never finished it up due to his miniature size). Nick slapped Finnick's back, causing him to spill out his entire noodle he just fed himself into his mouth.

"The hell do you want!?" Finnick scowled loud, some mammals turn their head to him. Nick just chuckles.

"So, what do my little kid doing here with Mr. Manchas?" Nick speaks up. Finnick just growled in response.

"Hola Nick, Judy. And who this mammal you bring in?" Manchas greets us, shake paws, before questioning my name. I notice him wearing a smart watch, similar to mine.

"My name's Calvin, Calvin Nyala. And I'm a human, thank you." I politely answer him.

"Your accent, it's not really from here isn't it? But I can tell you that you aren't British either?"

"Yep, I'm not Brits."

"Oh… why don't you all sit down?" The question Manchas snapped me out. We realized we still standing up. Immediately we all take a seat; Finnick, Nick and Judy oppose Manchas and me. A panda came with the menu in her hand.

"Welcome to Xiao Po's Panda Express, what do you want for today?" Nick takes the menu before Judy could; even she is closer to the panda waitress. I, on the other hand, having living among Chinese community in multi-racial city, I know what kind of food that Chinese have.

"I just have a chicken wan ton soup, and teh c peng special. (For those who don't know it, it's iced ("peng") tea ("teh") with evaporated milk ("C"), a nice Malaysian drinks in the summer time now)" I order without looking at the menu. The dynamic duo look up with confusion in their face as that I knew what to eat. The panda just noted my order down.

"I have a carrot dim sum with carrot juice."

"Mine same with him." Nick gesture to me. The waitress just noted in down. Ten minutes later, the order came. And so are someone; Chief Bogo and Benjamin Clawhauser. Since we all seated near the front door, no wonder that chief has stern face all over him.

"Wilde, Hopps, why don't you hand in the suspect at the precinct before you grabbed something to eat?" Chief scowled, pointing at me. Judy was about to speak when I speak first.

"Chief, don't get angry with them la. I'm the one who planned to eat here. I guess you also wanted to eat here, right?" I spoke to him. He just grunted and sat next to me while the cheetah sat next to Judy. The same waitress came back to take the order.

"As usual, chief?" The question just made me interested.

"Yes."

"And how about you, Clawhauser? The usual?" He just nodded. The waitress then leaves.

"So…" Chief started to speak up, "Since you're here, drinking that won ton soup…" His stern face turns a smirk. I just raise my eyebrows, trying to be interested in the topic instead of nervous. "We'll discuss it here. No exception."

"Okay, my question first."

"Go on." The other mammals seem to look like 'Oh, this will not going to be good…'

"One; I believe that you…" I shift my look to Manchas, "You…" and finally, Finnick. "And you, you all must have a connection with John Doe, right? Your watch is similar to mine." I flashed my wrist, showing the smart watch. Manchas just stare away releasing a sigh, Finnick just stare at me. Chief lock a look, narrowing his eye to mine.

"How come?" Now is the time to tell them the truth.

"Because…" I took a deep breath. "I'm his killer, I'm his savior. Isn't that right, John Doe?" I stare at my watch, waiting for a response. A second later, the three's watch all popped the same notification, 'Yes. That is right'. Not just their watch, Judy, Nick and Clawhauser's phone all popped the same notification.

'He is my killer, he is my savior. And I'm his A.I.'

That message just made Chief Bogo pissed off. Oh dear…

That's it for now. Next chapter will come shortly; I can only do this fanfic during my free time (if any) since homework will steal my time on this. So thanks again to zayasjosh100 for the antagonist name and Pizzalovers6262 for helping me to advertise my story. Anyway, your job is to read and leave a review. Got a good recommendation? Pm me.
