The rain poured wildly down on the damned souls of Joro.. Finnick though wasn't sure if he had much of a soul at all anymore.

The days that have gone by were nothing short of hell for him, a struggle for survival, a rat race to continue living in this wretched existence.

Ever since that fateful night when life punished him in living on, the night where his acquittance Polar Ice was shot dead by border guards.. ever since then the life that was sparred was slipping from his paws.

Poor bastard.. he was just starting to warm up to Polar ice but its been days and the thought of Ice was not on his mind what was on his mind was food.

Water was easy to come by.. if by easy you meant finding a nearby shell hole filled with brown muddy water that tasted of sulfur and shit then.. it sure was easy to come by.

The rain that was falling provided decent opportunity to find another shellhole.

What was on his mind wasn't water but food.. his nails were almost gone from his attempt to calm some of his hunger with them.. all for naught.

It was at this stage that Finnick felt like he was devolving back to his savage animal state that his ancestors once were.

Huddled in the dark damp tree trunks that provided barely enough shelter to even move, starving like a dog when its owners left without preparation and forced to live out in a foreign land hell bent on revenge made Finnick on the edge of his own sanity.

Not today.. Finnick marched from his mini shelter and headed more into the forest.. the only thing that can even bring a animal or human to go to these extreme lengths was dedication.. or hope which Finnick had almost none of but he did have a dedication to avenge Nick, and with basically infinite amount of time on his hands as he moved through the wilderness of this foreign country he was able to contemplate the words that Polar Ice had spoke to him.

Perhaps he was lost.. This inner rage was as primitive as drinking from the muddy shellholes, he had to master it somehow but what exactly was he losing? He was losing himself, and this dangerous journey was giving him no favors.

After a hour or so Finnick stumbled upon the top of a high elevation which Finnick huffed to.. he would have to slide down the steep cliffs now but when he moved forward the view that appeared had stopped him in his tracks.

After countless miles of wilderness though and mostly empty countryside though Finnick found a safe haven.. his utopia.

Well.. the capital of Joro wasn't exactly a gem on the mountain but.. it was something.

Wired how the concept of good and bad are almost relative depending on the situation.

The pollution and the stench from the city already reached Finnick and this made Finnick already long back for at least the faint natural smells of the forest but he would find no courage to get back to the wild, his stomach rumbled like the city below and knowing certain death in the forest or a 80% death down in the city.. he chose the city.

Toward the middle he saw his destination... a towering castle that reached high into the sky.. surely a mad king would want to be above his subjects.

With knowing where he must go he traveled down the mountain and into the city of sin.

Joro's Capital

The capital for the animal kingdom was everything a capital should be.. but in Joro the capital looked like a rotting decaying city.

Finnick put his criminal skills too good use and along with his small form he was able to avoid detection.

Already from the tense atmosphere Finnick sensed something wasnt right, like when a arms or drug trafficker would try to rip him off on the last second..

Finnick knew something was going to happen just based on the atmosphere if he had enough from the environment to work with.

The conditions were god awful for the average civilian, trash and litter filled the infested streets, shit and rats crawled around on the floors and sick and depressed people moved down the city.

Drug addicts, homeless men, women and children filled the ally ways.

The other thing he noticed was the heightened military presence.. every city street was filled with at least a unit which were armed with musket rifles.

Finnick's stomach grumbled.. he looked from behind a barrel that the tower castle was still a mile or so farther and the security were getting larger and more armed.

"I rest and gain strength then I shall kill him" Finnick thought and with that he retreated toward the side of the city which had barely any security as it bordered a forest.

The thought of murdering Reagan and then all the other humans was still on his mind... but at the moment that even he knew he had pushed himself too much.

After traveling a mile or so toward a village that was on the outskirts of the city, he found a cottage that he could escape too, it looked comfortably.. well anything even a barrel of shit would be better then sleeping another dreadful hungry night in the woods.

Finnick stumbled forward toward a dumpster that must of held some sort of food.. even trash was making Finnicks mouth water.

Afterwards he would move into the cottage.. Finnick jumped into the dumpster and searched through it like a raccoon.. making quite a mess as he threw dirt and trash over his head in search for some semblance of food.. then he found it, a rotten apple core but Finnick didn't care he was only interested in the food, he ate the brown skin and the seeds, everything.

"HEY! We got a rat!" He heard a voice call behind him.

Finnick on instinct turned to see two older guys in their early 20's.

Finnick dropped the food and jumped out of the dumpster at lighting speed, he bucked one of the men in the chest, weakly and began to scurry back to the forest before he felt a sting shoot at his side.

With a grunt Finnick looked to see he was shot with a tranquilizing dart..

"Fucking humans" Finnick cursed as his run slowed and his vision went blurry.. he fell to the grassy floor as the two humans and this time one older man approched him but he didint think of anything as his mind went blank..

One hour later..

Finnick's mind blurred back to reality.. his mind was fuzzy, his body was weak and he had no idea what he had gotten himself in.

Typically this was the feeling he would get after getting shit faced drunk and laying in bed with his hooker gone but something was different.. he felt, comfortable.

Finnick's eyes bolted awake he was in bed but restrained.

Finnick tried with all the power he had which was next to nothing to break his restraints but he barely even pulled the straps up.. He looked around franticly, he was in a small room, like a attic of sorts that held lots of unneeded materials which made his "room" quite messy.

"WHOEVER STRAPPED ME WILL GET KILLED!" Finnick screamed into the air.

He knew he shouldn't have said anything but if his captors didn't kill him they weren't going to kill him now and thats all that mattered. Suddenly the door opened slightly.. a girl barely 12 or so.

"HEY!" Finnick yelled making the girl let out a "Eep" and close the door.

Finnick's heartbeat slowed as he recognized he had not been captured by hostiles.

Suddenly the door opened with three guys.. two from earlier and one much older fella, perhaps in his 50's.

"Is this the creature that was trying to steal from us?" The older man asked.

"Yep this is the rodent we found" one of the younger guys said.

"Fucking humans.." Finnick cursed as he struggled against his restraints.

"Listen we saw you trying to steel from us, we stopped you" The older man said.

"Your just going to torture me then give me over to those soldiers you have patrolling this country" Finnick spat back.

"Why would we do that?" The older man asked.

"I.. well why else?" Finnick countered.

"I told you just for protection" The older man stated.

"Lisen, get me out right now before I wrap my paws around you and.." Finnick's voice was interrupted for a meeker and more quieter voice that came behind the men.

"Maybe he's hungry?" The girl from before said.

"Come on little dove were trying to ask some questions from this animal" The older man turned trying to shoo her away but she insisted.

"If you give him some of the soup we had for dinner maybe he will be more cooperative?" The girl smiled.

The older man sighed, "Alright, bring up some soup and water Chris and Adam" The man motioned for his two younger sons to fetch the food.

Finnick was still skeptical but his roaring stomach gave no complaints.

"So what's your name?" The girl asked with a smile.

"Its Finnick" Finnick said with a normal voice.

"Well this is my father Eric and im Savannah" Savannah smiled brightly which Finnick nodded to.

"Thank you for the food.. I guess" Finnick admitted.

"No problem, may you tell us why you were around our house though?" Eric tried to ask a question but as soon as he did Adam and Chris came back with food which made Finnick forget Eric's question.

Finnick gulped down the soup in three easy gulps and to ease the flow of food he chugged the water from the glass, after about a minute of eating he finished and let out a large burp making Savannah giggle.

"What haven't seen a animal eat before?" Finnick looked at Savannah.

"Yes" Savannah admitted.

"Where you from anyway" Eric tried to sneak a question in.

"I came from Zootopia, I was hoping to kill Reagan which will lead to the destruction of all the human race as revenge for my friend Nick's death.. but I guess we cant get we want at times do we?!" Finnick said sharply.

"No we dont" Eric put his hands on his hips.

"You dont seem mad, I just said I am going to kill your leader" Finnick said.

"He is NOT our leader" Eric said sharply.

"Ugh.. how Is that the case?" Finnick asked.

"Lets just say your not the only one who wants Reagan dead after he took over as dictator of the human race" Eric said.

"Well that is what im going to do instead of sitting around" Finnick said proudly.

"Im liking you Finnick.. ill let you stay the night, ill let you take sanctuary as you prepare to take out Reagan, if were going to topple this tyrant we need to do it together" Eric smiled and for the first time Finnick gave a slight smile.

"Im not doing this for the human race, im doing this for Nick" Finnick warned.

"For different reasons, but the same purpose.. kill Reagan and hopefully peace will come upon the land and for your lust for revenge" Eric said the rewards.

"He gets to stay with us right?" Savannah swooned over the thought of Finnick staying.

"For now, he is going to help daddy out" Eric smiled.

"Thank you.." Finnick smiled.

"Ill let you rest till tomorrow morning.. then ill introduce you to my family" Eric smiled.

As the sons left as well as Eric, Savannah was the last one to leave giving Finnick a tiny wave which Finnick after a moments hesitation he gave a wave back which made Savannah giggle and close the door which made Finnick smile but after a second he went back to his neutral state up on the wooden ceiling.

Something wasn't right.. he had this burning passion for killing all humans and avenge Nick, but after Polar ice and the talk with Eric something pulled at his very morality.. perhaps not all humans were bad.

With that realization a tug of guilt and pain erupted in his soul.. a soul crushing guilt that haunted his conciseness.. Finnick rolled over the best he could to fall back asleep, this was no time to be lost in the guilt of the past.. it was time for duty and a time for revenge for Nick.

Tomorrow is a new day..

Tomorrow Morning.

The morning routine of waking up in a polluted and wasteful space was not new to Finnick but what was new was waking up in a calm and home feeling environment.

Finnick sat at the table eating the oatmeal that Eric's wife had provided for him, he chowed down much to the annoyance of his guests but he was still hungry from before and kept chowing down, food and slop flying everywhere.

"So how is it in Zootopia Finnick?" Savannah smiled next to him.

"Better then here though thats not saying much" Finnick gave his option as he ate.

"Your like my father, he wants to kill Reagan as well" Savannah said.

"Does he" Finnick smiled as he turned to Eric who sat on the opposite end of the table.

"What does this girl think?" Finnick turned toward the girl and poked her nose.

"Well if my daddy wants to kill him then im sure its for the best" Savannah expressed.

"If only we could of killed him earlier" Finnick said a bit sadly.

"We will end his reign of terror, that I promise" Eric stated.

"What happened to your friend Nick?" Savannah looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

"He was murdered.. shot and killed, protected his love and then died.. the even worst part is that I couldn't even save him" Finnick sighed.

"That wasn't on you.. things happen, its how we react to them that counts and what you have been doing for Nick? That is probably the most admiral thing someone can do" Savannah smiled to Finnick who smiled back.

"Thanks kid.." Finnick thanked.

"We got some training to do over the next few days before we do a mission.. be prepared Finnick, its not just about revenge anymore.. its about justice" Eric stated standing up and picking up his gun and stick.

"Lets roll out" Eric commanded.

In a Zen House

"You know how to use that thing right?" Eric looked at Finnicks baseball.

"Yeah of course, I just had to check on if none of my supplies were moved which Is why I was a little late" Finnick said.

"What do you need anyway? We have everything you need right here" Eric countered.

"Its something I need alright!" Finnick barked which made Eric roll his eyes.

"Lets see your moves" Eric asked.

Finnick smirked and walked back before running forward and jumping slamming the baseball lightly behind Eric's back before Eric grabbed it and threw the smaller mammal ahead of him.

"Not fair! Your bigger then I am" Finnick stood back up.

"If you want to kill Reagan you must know how to at least defeat a human in combat" Eric said as fact.

Finnick huffed, "Why do you want to kill Reagan, you know my reasons.. Im interested in yours" Finnick asked.

"Its not important" Eric said flatly.

"Its everything!" Finnick shot back.

"You must of known about the human civil war.. I was on the opposite side, the side that wanted cooperation between the animal and human species.. when the war was lost or was about to be lost... I had to hide, I knew what Reagan was doing to all those who opposed him, torture, murder.. I couldnt let him do that to my family so I hid and made my cottage at this place.. and thats where I have been since" Eric expressed.

"It remains my biggest regret.. leaving my men behind, so I must finish what I have started" Eric said his mission.

"Lets get you trained old man" Finnick teased.

"Hey im not the one who needs the training" Eric countred and soon the animal and the human were fighting baseball on stick fighting out in a battle for the ages.

Next Day

"You know how to use a gun right?" Eric asked to Finnick.

"Nope, Never!" Fininck exclaimed.

"I brought you all ice cream!" Savannah ran out to the backyard and held out ice cream to Finnick and Eric.

"Thanks dear" Eric smiled.

"Yo kid you should be.. um, a cook!" Finnick tried to impress but failed miserably.

"I might do that" Savannah thought aloud.

"Focus on the gun Finnick" Eric reminded him of his mission.

"Talk to you later!" Finnick waved Savannah off.

"You too!" Savannah skipped away.

"Aim your line of sight and.. fire" Eric let out a suppressed fire from his gun to the target.

Few days later..

"You've learned a lot over these past few days.." Eric said as he sat in his living room with Savannah drawing on the floor and Finnick sat on another chair.

"Well I guess im just the best arent I" Finnick teased.

Savannah giggled and Eric just shook his head.

"What did you do before you went on your mission to kill Reagan?" Savannah looked up to Finnick.

Finnick sat quietly.. truth be told he was a criminal and perhaps in a way he still was, but he couldn't reveal that.. the horror of his past would crawl back to him.

"Yeah.. its been a few months since Nick's death and I didn't really have much of a life before to compare to the destruction ive been on since his death" Finnick partially lied.

"Well you can always join our family" Savannah smiled.

"Id like that.." Finnick smiled.

Suddenly the door pushed forward and Chris and Adam came rushing in.

"Its time father.." Chris stated.

Eric looked at Finnick who looked at Savannah with a nod as she seemed frightened.

"Where are you guys going?" She said worryingly.

"We got a opening to get new weapons for our crew" Eric said understandly.

"We will be back I promise you" Finnick promised Savnnah who nodded.

"Stay safe for me.. please" Savannah begged.

"Dont worry, im not dying till Reagan is killed and Nick is avenged" Finnick assured.

Near a Barracks.

"I spot.. five guards on the ground and two on the top" Adam came back from recon as the rest of the group hid behind a bush.

"This looks more like a school then a armory" Finnick stated.

"Thats because it was a school.. Reagan has been turning everything, especially recently, to a militarized state" Eric explained.

"I wonder why that is.." Finnick said.

"Alright, since I have the gun ill kill the men on the roof, then Finnick will come in and kill the men on the ground with support from you guys" Eric pointed to his sons.

"We could handle that" Chris smiled.

"Get in positions" Eric commanded and with that Finnick took off, his smaller form squeezing into the fences and behind a tree that was within the premises of the building.

Finnick then heard two shots fire out into the open night sky.. Finnick sneaked to see two men fall from the building above... and that was his cue.

On point Finnick let out a savage scream as he used the darkness to his advantage, he jumped and slammed his baseball across the face of one of the guards.. he then pushed down and hit the leg of another and as the guard grunted and got distracted he slammed his weapon between the man's legs.

"I need support now!" Finnick ducked behind some bushes as the remaining guards opened fired.. Suddenly Adam and Chris came rushing in with shovels beating two of the men firing at Finnick to death, Eric shot open the gates and fired on the last guy who ran back into the barracks.

"Lets grab the weapons, and lets get out of here" Eric moved in with Finnick as Chris and Adam finished killing the remaining guards.

From afar.. a camera zoomed in on the face of Eric as he screamed his order.. little did Finnick and the others know that the man they have been plotting for months to overthrow.. has just discovered the rodents under his foot.
