The atmosphere was that of light hearted victory and a sense of unity and a bright future.

The comfortable cottage was turned into a party of sorts as Finnick and the rest of the gang came back from the barracks mostly unscathed with new supplies and even a hidden winery which held many fresh new wine bottles to enjoy.

The room was filled with laughs and dancing and even Finnick felt at home.. for the first time in forever he wasn't focused entirely on Nick but that didn't mean he was over it, he was celebrating cause he did a minor blow and a step toward killing the man who ordered Nick's death.. but his mind wasn't focusing on Nick.. it was focused on the mission.

"Care for another drink?" Eric smiled as he walked up with a vodka bottle in one of his hands.

The soft booms of the speakers as the people danced made Finnick feel like he was under ecstasy and back at one of Zootopia's brothels.

"Why wouldn't I be?!" Finnick countered and grabbed the bottle from Eric's hand and poured it into his little cup which he gulped down in three gulps.

Being a small creature made him extremely vulnerable in getting drunk but right now he didn't care, he was finally doing his real mission to avenge Nick.

"Soon we will get to Reagan!" Eric chanted making the rest of the group cheer along with Finnick.

Never in his entire life would he have thought that he would team up with the very species that killed Nick.. perhaps he should stop thinking in the terms of this species vs that other species and start focusing on the real mission.. which is avenging Nick.

Another thing Finnick had realized has he danced away and laughed with the very species that he swore to destroy just a few weeks ago was the words Polar Ice said to him before he was gunned down by Reagan's forces.

He had to know himself, he was going blind killing everything but now he knew what he must do, his entire life was nothing but criminal work to blindly make money to fuck the next pussy or some other hedonistic activity.

This time he had purpose.. and once he killed Reagan he would be complete, he would start a new life.. one that was law abiding and do the good things in life, in a way he was continuing Nick's presence as he turned from the criminal life and now it was his turn.

"May I have everyone's attention?!" Finnick said loudly in a drunken state as he tapped a medal spoon on one of the drinks.

The dancing/party atmosphere was still going on but the talking quieted down and the few people turned to Finnick.

"I need to confess my crimes of my past, I owe it to my new family" Finnick started as he raised his glass and took one more swig, Savannah smiled warmly at his choice of words.

"Im going to admit this but as you guys know im no angel" Finnick sheepishly smiled making everyone in the room chuckle.

"I used to be a criminal.. not like I murdered people but I was a fraudster, a degenerate, a hustler.. I was a pretty bad guy." Finnick sighed as no one spoke Finnick kept on going.

"I wanted to open up for the sake of honesty but to be frank.. im going to kill Reagan, im going to leave tonight, I cant handle these emotions, im stuck in my past life and the only way I can go to my new one is when I kill him" Finnck expressed.

"But.. you cant go!" Savannah begged.

"You wont last a minute in Joro! You'll be dead before you can even get to his castle" Eric tried to be the voice of reason but all Finnick did was swig another drink.

"Im sorry but.. it must be done" Finnick looked at all the faces, he could tell they cared for him despite him still being a bit of an ass.

Finnick finished his drink and stumbled up the stairs and towards his room.

After closing the door Finnick let out a drawn out sigh.. His past actions, the poor teenager he pounded to death with his very own baseball.

Finnick looked over at his bat which sat against the wall along with his sack that he came to Joro with, he moved in and took out the picture and the medal that Nick had given him and smiled.

Suddenly there was a knock on his door, "Who is it?" Finnick said for once without any yelling as he was still half way focusing on the medal Nick had given him.

The door opened and Savannah came walking in slowly "Were worried for you Finnick.. we cant lose you.. I cant lose you.." Savannah teared up.

"Why would you want a blood thirsty rodent like me around huh?" Finnick turned around and faced Savannah who stood about half way from the door to him.

"Because your not what you think you are, whatever you were in the past.. you've changed and for the better, you despite your yelling at times have made my life better, I wanted to thank you for that" Savannah smiled but she trembled a bit.

"If you have to thank anyone, thank Nick.. hes the one who motived me to come all the way out here to kill Reagan" Finnick countered.

Savannah sat next to Finnick and shook her head "No, YOU were the one who came here by yourself, You decided to take down Reagan not anyone else" Savannah explained.

Finnick just looked out the window and into the darkness.. "Finnick.. please dont go" Savannah begged, tears still swelling in her eyes.

Finnick looked at the picture he had of Nick and thought of all lessons that Nick gave him before he perished that fateful day.. "Look Savannah.." Finnick started as he turned his face toward the girl who had tears dripping down her face and was on the verge of a full on crying.

"Nick gave this to me" Finnick pulled our the medal "He gave me this cause I was by his side and helping him through everything.. keeping him sane believe it or not, and he gave me this medal and told me I would know the time when I have moved on with my life.. and now I know I have." Finnick said.

Savannah looked shocked as Finnick put the medal into her hands "You accepted me for who I was right from the beginning, im forever thankful.. I know what I must do and once I kill Reagan im going to be good, this criminal past will be well.. in my past" Finnick smiled a bit.

Savannah wrapped her hands around Finnick and cried into his shoulder which caught him off guard "Its for you.. don't forget it, when you grow up and do something great for the world.. move it on to another person that is close to your heart" Finnick advised.

After a full minute of silent hugging Finnick finally let go of Savannah and jumped from the bed "Thats enough emotion from me" Finnick giggled "But I must kill Reagan... if I do kill him I promise you ill live with your dad and you" Finnick assured which calmed Savannah down just a bit.

"Ill see you soon kido" Finnick nodded and with that he packed his stuff, headed downstairs and with new found determination.. he left the cottage.

Outside

Finnick moved quietly into the town at night, he had to make up the distance between the cottage and Joro before Reagan could make a move and disappear.

Finnick didn't know what had happened over the last few weeks but he was a changed animal, and there was only one thing for him to do.

With new found courage in himself and in his mission he would finally give peace a chance.. once Reagan was dead.

As Finnick snuck in the empty town streets which was a few miles from the cottage.

He tip toed toward a ally but a loud scream shattered his illusions.. Finnick hid behind two barrels and peered into the darkness that was the ally.

Within the darkness there was a shadow cast on the moons light.. a shadow of a wild animal, a lizard of horrible sin and deformity.

At first Finnick thought it was another animal.. prehaps even a ally but two things were off.. first the body of this deformed beast was almost human like.. if it was a lizard it had to be part human as well but worst of all this lizard was attacking a woman of fully human character and despite his previous hatred for humans.. he could not let it stand.

But he knew if he went out he would get attacked or killed before he could finish his mission.

He waited as the lizard did his deed and finally left with a evil laughter that even Finnick was disturbed by.

Finnick walked out of his hiding spot spotting the woman trying to recover her clothes and still crying softly onto the ground.

"You need any help?" Finnick asked apologetically.

The woman froze and looked around in a hurry.

"Im right here" Finnick said more sternly.

The woman looked down at Finnick but still shook from shock.

"I just wanted to ask if your ok" Finnick asked.

The woman shook her head "That creature.. he.. he" She broke down crying and Finnick walked up and hugged her lower body.

"I promised not to be a killer after I kill Reagan but once I do ill come back to this part of Joro and ill give you justice and bring him to prison I promise you" Finnick assured.

"Your not going to live long" The woman shivered.

"I will, ive been training and I finally will kill Re~"

"NO!" The woman yelled shutting Finnick up.

"I want him dead.. he drafted my only two sons into this army he has been making for years.. but you need to go back to Zootopia where you came from, Reagan Is planning a invasion, hes going to kill you all and thats his plan" The woman cried.

"But.. that cant be.. he would never" Finnick seemed shocked in his realization.

"He would, I dont know when but its going to happen soon.. go back to your home, say your goodbyes and maybe your world can stand a chance" The woman whimpered.

Finnick looked down on the ground then up to the stars.. he saw a star flash across the sky.

"No, I cant just leave.. I made a promise to a long since dead friend to kill Reagan.. and thats what im going to do before he can do any invasion" Finnick said determinedly and ran back toward the cottage.

All out war was about to commence and Finnick needed to get back to Eric to inform them of the wars to come, death wouldn't end until the force that was driving it was banished from this world forever.
