This is the 31st chapter of the whole story. Since this story was now reaching it's very peak soon, I'm started to feel a bit celebrated at the moment. Anyway, enough with that and let's move on to the new chapter. Have fun reading this, everyone!

Chapter 31 - Operation Rainforest Rousting Part 2

The other remaining ZPD officers assigned for the police operation were still in the ZPD Headquarters when Splero and the others finally arrived. Clawhauser approached them.

"Hey, guys. Good thing you all arrived at the nick of time." - Clawhauser said -

"What have happened? Did we arrived late?" - Splero asked, concerned -

"No, Splero. You're in time for the transport to the Rainforest District." - Clawhauser reassured -

Splero sighed in relief. His initial concern was extinguished.

"I though we're late at this very moment." - Splero said -

Chimpan cleared his throat to attract attention with Splero.

"Splero, we must pass the crates to Chief Bogo and the other ZPD Quartermasters." - Chimpan reminded -

"Oh, yeah. Thanks for reminding about it, Chimpan." - Splero replied with a smile -

"About what?" - Nick asked -

"About the weapons and equipment that we brought in the crates, Slick. We're going to pass it to the Chief Bogo and the other assigned officers." - Splero answered -

Nick simply nodded his very head. Splero then went to his car.

"Chimpan, help me with the crates. We'll going to need these later on." - Splero requested -

Chimpan helped the emperor in unloading the few crates from the car's large trunk. Chief Bogo finally arrived at the scene and he approached the group. Before he cloud say a word, Splero turned his back to face him and he greeted him with a simple bow.

"We're ready for the police operation, Chief. I even brought the extra equipment that I'm going to "donate" for the rest of the ZPD in the police operation." - Splero stated -

Chief Bogo waved his hoof at him. He then directed his attention to Nick, Judy and Michelle.

"Are the three of you were ready for this?" - Chief Bogo asked -

"Yes, we do." - Judy replied -

"We even prepared ourselves for very first police operation with the aid of Splero." - Nick added -

Chief Bogo nodded on their determinations.

"Very well. You all better get going now. The others were already departed for the Rainforest District a few moments ago, so don't slack around in here." - Chief Bogo reminded them all with a big voice -

As the others heeded his words, Chief Bogo went somewhere else. Splero approached the trio.

"You heard the water buffalo, guys. We should get going now." - Splero said -

They were all in the ZPD Armory, preparing for their final checks.

"Chimpan, how many weapons that we brought in reserve?" - Splero asked -

"We got a number of old rifles, muskets and old handguns as well with some reserves of ammunition." - Chimpan replied -

"What? We have muskets in there, Chimpan?" - Splero asked again but in a curious manner -

"Yes, Sire. Some ancient Brown Bess muskets, Winchester rifles and some of your favorite Nambu pistols." - Chimpan replied, handing out a paper file to him -

Splero took a look on the paper.

"Oh, yeah. I even added the muskets for the second-line." - Splero realized -

"What second-line?" - Michelle asked -

"Second-line means "reserve", Michelle. In other words, these extra weapons were meant for the others who weren't armed yet with firearms before they go to their very assigned duties." - Splero explained -

"You sure know a lot more about gunnery, Sire?" - Nick said -

"Well, what could at least on what I just done. I'm a emperor, Nick and a Splerinian emperor should know everything that was closely linked to militarism. I served a puppet kingdom in a isolated islet that was nearly annexed by a republic that I really frowned upon." - Splero explained -

"That's quite hard to handle, Splero. Aren't you get stressed out in some occasions of your dynasty?" - Judy asked, concerned at the height of his explanation -

"Yes, Judy but not always. When I'm stressed, I just went to my palace bedchamber and there, I sing some songs and do some chanting." - Splero replied -

"You reckon on the song "Kumbaya", Sire?" - Chimpan asked -

"Yes, Chimpan." - Splero answered -

Nick was surprised to hear that. In fact, the song that Chimpan mentioned is the same song that he mentioned to Judy a long time ago. After Splero arranged the other equipment, he removed his iron helmet and wiped his forehead with a sponging rag.

"Ok, guys. We're all set. Let's go to the RD." - Splero said -

"What's RD?" -Michelle asked -

"Rainforest District." - Splero answered -

"Oh." - Michelle realized -

Splero snickered.

This is the end of Chapter 31. Stay tuned for the next chapter!
