Chapter 17: Ascension


Observation room:

All the members of the order are gathered above the arena where Nick and Judy are blindfolded and chained below on opposite sides. They're all standing above a see through glass floor. The Prime speaks, "We are gathered here today to witness ascension of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde may they master the power of desire. Should they survive their fates will be bound together." The Prime pauses for a bit. "Now, we will pour desire's embrace into the funnels." Two buckets of blue liquid are poured into the funnels that gag their mouth, they will be forced to swallow it all. "Both participants have swallowed desire's embrace. Now, desire courses through them. They will act out their hearts deepest desires. Right now, above all else they desire to be free. Release them!"

A button is pressed and the rabbit and fox are released. They are unable to see and are guided by scent and sound alone. They both desire to be free and run directly to the other side. They smell a familiar scent one that they knew before but now couldn't place. The bunny chases after the fox, the fox chases after the bunny. This goes on until one of them catches the other. The bunny catches the fox's tail and embraces it. The fox senses his tail is trapped. The need for his tail to be free overwhelms his search for the familiar scent. He begins to run wildly around the arena. The fox desires above all else that his tail would be free.

The bunny finally has a fluffy tail in her grasp she refuses to let it go. The tail brings comfort and reminds her of something quite familiar. The fox runs to a wall and turns directly around, in doing so it feels what has kept his tail hostage. The fox claws the bunny right across the chest. At first it is overjoyed that his tail is free. The fox smells the scent of blood, and the scent of fear. He suddenly feels something precious to him has been hurt.

The bunny is frightened because one thing that gave her comfort ended up hurting her. The fox seeks out the scent of blood and begins licking the bunny on the chest where he has made his bunny bleed. The bunny feels this act. The familiar scent of comfort returns but it also feels afraid. She feels that she needs to comfort the one licking her. The bunny begins thrusting herself towards the one licking her searching for something. The fox keeps trying to lick the wound that he had inflicted. The bunny ends up claiming the fox. The fox ends up nibbling the bunny behind the neck to try to get the bunny to let go. When his teeth pierces her flesh, that familiar scent of blood fills his senses. The fox realizes that this is even worse. That familiar feeling of hurting something precious to him has returned. The fox does not want this but also realizes he does not want to hurt the thing holding him captive. The fox decides the best solution is to drown it in his scent. The fox then resigns himself to his fate.

They eventually fall sleep unable to be physically separated.

Lasan remarks, "Well, that was a lot tamer than yours and mine. But really? They had their first time under the influence of desire's embrace?"

Kindleheart says, "I acted out lingering resentments I had upon you. You acted yours out on me. We still haven't had our first time yet. When I came to my senses I found myself licking a wound I inflicted upon your body."

The Prime notes, "This is the first time the participants decided to have intercourse during the rite. Interesting, I wonder what would happen because of it. This rite is improved more and more with every participant to ensure the greatest chances of success. Prepare the life crystals, soon they shall need them for the second part. When they come to their senses."


I struggle to move away. I can't for some reason. I realize I'm blindfolded and that it's not my eyes being closed. I remove my blindfold. I see Nick right in front of me. We are embracing each other. His eyes are still blindfolded. I look for the reason why I can't move away and I blush. I suppose it's okay deep down I wanted this at some level. My entire being smells of him. "Wake up, Nick!" Nick does nothing. I use my hands to poke him to try to wake him up.

He finally, wakes up too. Nick takes off his blindfold and realizes he couldn't move either. Nick asks, "Carrots, do you know what happened?" Nick finds out why we're unable to move. I think he takes it rather well. I can't really read this expression. Neither of us remembers what exactly happened. Just blurred thoughts that don't make sense. Now, we're entwined physically and unable to be separated. We're both trying to make the best of it. That's one way to learn about vulpine anatomy. I look around, we're in a circular room. I look above and screamed. Nick's presence is able to reassure me that everything is okay. Everyone is watching us.

The Prime enters the arena from the main door. He tells us, "You both have survived the first part of the rite. You did not kill each other. Once, you're able to be physically separated, we're going to proceed to the second part. Right now, the power of desire courses through you. You still have yet to fully control it. I will be waiting." He walks back out the entrance he came from.

I can make sense of my memories now. I was force-fed liquid that tasted like blueberries. Then I desired to be free of my bonds. Unable to see and just chasing familiar scents and sounds. I got to feel his tail and never wanted to let go. Something caused me to bleed. I felt him licking my wounds but he felt so unsure of himself. I wanted to comfort him at that time to let him know that I was okay. My primal self comforted him the only way it knew how.

It took about ten minutes but we finally calmed down enough to be separated from each other. We walked out of the arena towards the next part. My senses feel far sharper than before it takes some effort to not just give into desires and do what I truly wanted. Right now, if I gave in. I would have assaulted the Prime for chaining me up to a wall for three days. Just barely in control. I feel like it's the same for Nick as if he's holding back from doing what he truly wanted as well.

The hallway leads to a door. The Prime is waiting for us there. He speaks, "Now, Nick must consciously inflict the wounds he did during the rite." He walks around me and inspects me. "I notice you have a scratch across your chest, and a bite mark behind your neck."

Nick's fur bristles to indicate that he's unhappy. Nick asks, "Are you asking me to scratch her and bite her in the same place?"

"No, you will inflict those wounds again but through another method." The Prime opens the door. We see a room with two green crystals but nothing else. "Take the crystal and use it to inflict the same wounds you have done under the influence of desire's embrace. Do not stray too far from the original design, the price of failure is death for the both of you." He walks to a door that leads out of the room. "I know what you really want to do right now Is to attack me but can you stay in control? Start, right now."

Nick says, "Carrots, I'm sorry I have to do this. Apparently, I scratched you and bit you."

I reply, "It's okay Nick, it was my choice to come here with them. It's not your fault and you followed me here. You ended up being shocked today too because I procrastinated in telling the truth."

Nick takes a green crystal and uses it to cut open the wounds I previously had. I screamed during the process and he doesn't stop. He finishes his task. I now have three bleeding diagonal lines across my chest and a newly opened wound where the bite was. I noticed upon contact with my blood the crystal turned red. The newly made wounds feel painful but not terribly so.

The Prime takes the red crystal away from Nick. The Prime notes, "Very good. You managed to consciously inflict the same wounds you've done so during the rite. Now, Judy it's your turn."

I ask, "What do you mean? He has no wounds."

"You will inflict as best as you can. The same wounds that you have on to him. I expect three diagonal lines across his chest too and a wound behind his neck. Oh, and don't kill each other during this."

With great effort, I ask Nick, "Are you ready?"

Nick replies, "I think so but it takes greater and greater concentration to stay in control."

With great reluctance. I reach for the other green crystal in the room. I slowly use the green crystal to cut Nick's flesh open to mirror the wounds I have. At the first contact with blood, it too turns red. Nick says, "Carrots, can you please hurry it up. It's more painful if you go so slow." I heard his plea. I try to move past my own reluctance to speed it up for him. I manage to duplicate the same wounds that I have on to him.

The Prime takes the red crystal from me. He remarks, "Very good. You have passed the second part. All that remains is a third and final part."

I shakily ask, "What's the final part?" The instinct not to assault him is about unbearable now. Nick helps me retain my sanity. I am in this together with him.

"A simple bath is all that remains. Bathing in desire's embrace." We follow him to another room. A lot of other members are here too. The one has two pools not filled with anything yet. "Lie down on the bottom." Nick and I lie down in separate pools. He attaches a mask to my face with a funnel. Is he going to make us drink desire's embrace again? The pool is sealed with glass and we can't escape. "Now, you will bathe in desire's embrace. This experience is very painful." Panic fills my thoughts. I want to escape but can't. I see the entire pool now getting filled with blue liquid. I can smell the scent of nighthowlers clearly. As liquid makes contact with my wounds the pain feels unbearable. "We'll see you in twenty-four hours. Don't worry. No one has died during this part."

With that they all left. This is pure agonizing torture. I want to scream but can't. I am conscious throughout the entire process. All I can do is look at the ceiling. The ceiling is lit by blue crystals. I had wished for death more than once. I've lost track of time of how long it's been.

Suddenly, the pain turns to pleasure. The liquid that once caused me great pain now provides comfort. I feel as if I can use it for my own ends now. I finally gave in to exhaustion and slept peacefully. I can sense the essence of desire around me now. I can feel them approach. All of them stop and only one of them approaches.

The Prime frees us from the pools. The Prime speaks, "Come. It is time for you to learn everything about us." My sense are sharper. I am far more in control of my instincts now. I'm able to use them along with logic and reason no longer struggling to act upon raw desire alone. I look at myself and Nick. We both have blue markings where the wounds were. I feel my blue markings, it feels just as well as skin. I decide to climb on top of Nick something beckons me to do so. It just feels right. Nick carries me. We're heading towards a mass of them.

The Prime opens the door. All of the order is kneeling creating only one path through them. I see a village. The Prime walks in front of the only path then turns to face us. He speaks, "You have survived the trials. You have mastered the power of desire and are able to use it for your own ends. I welcome you to the order of Savage Hunters. We have chosen this name due to our long-standing conflict with the savages that inhabit this place." The Prime finishes his speech and kneels as well. I think this is incredibly ironic. Everyone who is exposed to nighthowlers in Zootopia becomes savage. Here, they've chosen the name for a very different reason.

The crowd chants 'Savage Hunter Judy' as well as 'Savage Hunter Nick'.

The sky calls to me. I climb on top of Nick's head. I jump. I feel wings sprouting behind my back that gives me enough momentum to jump again while in the air.

I am slowly gliding downwards from the sky with black bat like wings. The view from the sky gives me a sense of superiority, a feeling of power. I can use it to prey upon them. The ones who took Alim and Minty from the world.

Right now, I desire vengeance. Vengeance against the savages. Surely, I will be allowed. My first impression of them was a wolf attacking Everlight all alone. I will take from them as they did from me. I will kill their children.


A/N: This story started with a simple idea - how can I bring Demon Hunters from World of Warcraft without just outright importing them or making a crossover but rather what would a Demon Hunter be in Zootopia terms. Nick and Judy have become members of the Savage Hunters. A rather fitting name since they don't see themselves as savages but ones who hunt those that are. Feedback and reviews appreciated.
