This is the 33rd chapter of the story. To be honest, I felt a bit proud for this story cause this story will going to succeed sooner or later. Anyway, here's the new chapter!
Chapter 33 - Operation Rainforest Rousting Part 4
Splero helped the others in arranging their stuff in the tents.
"Splero, I'm going to prepare our very meal with the other "ZPD Chefs"." - Chimpan reminded -
"Ok, Chimpan." - Splero agreed -
"Can I join you too?" - Michelle asked -
"Sure, Michelle." - Chimpan replied -
Michelle yipped happily. Splero couldn't hold back a snicker to Michelle's happiness.
"Why are you snickering?" - Nick asked with a grin -
"Because I can't ignore the cute and funny giggles she makes, Nick." - Splero explained -
Nick nodded. While he and Splero were busy on the crates, Judy then approached Splero with something in her paws.
"Hey, Splero. What's this?" - Judy asked -
"Hmm?" - Splero responded -
He approached her. He then realized that the curious item she's holding was his original flag.
"Hey! That's the flag of my puppet kingdom, Judy. How did this flag get here in Zootopia?" - Splero realized with such questions in mind -
"What is it, Splero?" - Nick asked -
"It's a flag, Nick." - Splero replied -
"The flag of what?" - Nick asked again -
"The flag of my puppet kingdom. I hoisted one of this in the summits of Iron Chest and Kick Plate Crater during my time in the Counter-Revolution." - Splero explained -
He then unfurled the flag. The khaki-colored triangular flag bears the Seal of Splerinia on the upper left corner, the words "Splerinia" written in Chinese-like characters were on the bottom corner and a Chinese Dragon on the middle.
"I could use this sooner." - Splero added -
Chimpan then arrived.
"Sire, where's the other reserves of the Japanese Onigiri that you made earlier?" - Chimpan asked -
"It's in my knapsack, Chimp." - Splero replied -
While Chimpan grabbed hold the rice balls that were wrapped in large banana leaves, Clawhauser appeared.
"Hey, guys. Is Judy and Nick were around?" - Clawhauser greeted with a question -
The rabbit and fox raised their paws.
"Present here." - Splero signaled him -
"Chief Bogo needs to talk with them in his tent." - Clawhauser said -
"Just tell him that we're on the way, Clawhauser." - Judy replied -
Clawhauser left the tent. Nick and Judy placed their belongings in their sleeping bags.
"We be back, guys." - Judy reminded -
Splero, Michelle and Chimpan nodded their heads as the duo departs. With his flag still in his hands, Splero turned to his chimp sidekick.
"Chimpan, should you continue on cooking right by now?" - Splero reminded him -
"Oh! I almost forgot about that. Sorry!" - Chimpan realized his minor "error" -
Chimpan hurriedly left the tent again with the few wrapped rice balls held tightly on his hands. Michelle then checked her wristwatch. It reads 11:25 AM.
"I think we still have time to prepare, love." - Michelle reminded him -
"Yeah but not for long, though." - Splero remarked -
The arctic vixen pondered on his remark as the emperor left the tent.
The hours goes by and the time is now 5:15 PM. Most of the ZPD officials in the campsites were either enjoying their vacant hours to keep the stresses down or preparing themselves for the police operation that was about to start soon.
Splero was busy hoisting his royal flag on a short pole that was mounted on the roof of his tent. As the sun sets on, the light shines on the fluttering flag that was once being used in Splero's counter-revolution not long ago. The emperor kept on gazing the triangular flag when Nick and Judy approached him.
"Splero." - Nick called -
"Yes, Nick?" - Splero responded -
"It's time. There's a single file of officers in the corner and Chief Bogo will start his briefing in a few moments now." - Nick reminded -
"Ok, Nick. We'll going in." - Splero replied -
He then called the other occupants of the tent. Chimpan and Michelle came out.
"This is it, guys. The time has come." - Splero remarked -
This is the end of Chapter 33. Operation Rainforest Rousting had finally commenced. Stay tuned for the action in Chapter 34, guys!
