Chapter Eleven: Reunion

A/N: No porn, no fluff, all action. EEEE! I'm so proud of this chapter! It was so much fun to write and so full of action and ending with a huge, HUGE shock I've had planned for over a year. DO NOT READ THE ENDING AHEAD OF TIME! It's sooooo good!

Late Evening at the Zootopia Control Station

The ZPD officers surrounded the building. Swinton was right, the first floor was turned to rubble with no way to get in. Bogo had arrived just before. Swinton and the officers arrived soon after.

"It's just like I said." Swinton replied. "There's no way in that building."

"There's always a way." Bogo said. He took a look around and got a quick idea. "Park that van under that second story window and park that squad car next to it. We'll climb our way up."

They parked the vehicles. Bogo took control. "Okay everyone! Open the van and let's get anything we need."

They opened the police van and Bogo pulled out a riot shield and some flash grenades. Swinton was a bit miffed. "Why do YOU get a riot shield?!"

"Because A, I'll be leading the charge inside and B, this is my iconic shield and flash grenades from 'Disney Heroes: Battle Mode'. I had to do a lot of motion capture for that mobile game."

"Wait, you can't just call something 'iconic' when it's brand new! It has to be something that's been with you a long, long time, like your uniform or...or those horns! Judy Hopps carrot pen is iconic because it's something she's used a lot and if people see it separate from her, they identify the pen with Judy! That's just a riot shield!"

Just then, Higgins walked by. "Hey chief! I see you got your iconic shield and flash grenades!"

Bogo then gave a smug look at Swinton. "See?"

Swinton just rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Let's go!"

"You're not the one giving me orders 'lieutenant'!"

"...Does that mean you're not firing me?"

"Not tonight. We'll discuss this tomorrow."

Bogo climbed atop the squad car and made his way up to the police van. Several officers followed suit. "Stay behind me!" Bogo shouted. "This may get rough!"

Bogo shot out a window. This was immediately followed by a huge trail of machine gun fire aimed at the officers. Bogo was saved due to his iconic riot shield stopping the bullets. Did I mention it was iconic? Because it's like, totally iconic.

The assault caught Bogo by surprise. "O-kay! A bit tougher than I thought!" He took one of his iconic flash grenades (okay, I'll stop). The gunners were blinded and Bogo leaped through the window and tackled the first machine gunner.

He called to his men. "Everyone! Go! Go! Go!"

They hid around the corners and hugged the walls. Bogo looked at Swinton. "Where'd he get a machine gun?!"

"Don't look at me!" Swinton replied. "Our weapon supplies didn't include machine guns!"

Delgato figured it out. "It's probably from the illegal weapons factory I raided. It was going on for awhile before I busted it...Oh man! And I remember who I put in charge of confiscating the weapons!"

"Johnson?" Bogo asked.

"Bingo. He must be here too. Damn backstabber"

Bogo moved slowly ahead. His men following him. "Be careful men. Your dart guns may not be enough for this situation."

Swinton smirked. "Are you saying?.."

Bogo sighed. "Maybe bringing live weapons wasn't such a bad idea...But that's on a case per case basis! Beat patrol and traffic citations have no need of it. But something like this? Yes."

As they were talking a grenade bounced from around the corner. "Grenade!" Bogo yelled.

Swinton dove for the green pineapple, quickly turned and threw it back in the direction it came from. Bogo dove over and protected her with his shield as the grenade blasted. Around the corner, a tiger full of shrapnel fell over dead.

Bogo smiled at Swinton. "You pain in the neck! You keep this up and I might begin to like you!"

A bear came around the corner with a pistol. Delgato shoved the bear's arm forward causing it to fire into the ceiling. He followed this by a sharp blow to the bear's gut. The bear smashed Delgato into the wall. He beared his claws to slice the lion, but was met with 3 darts in the back, rendering him unconscious in an instant.

Clawhauser ran over to his partner. "Delgato! Are you okay?!"

"The back of my head hurts, but otherwise, I'm fine."

"...Do you want me to kiss your boo-boo?"

"No I don't want you to kiss my boo-boo!"

"Focus!" Bogo yelled. He threw another flash grenade around the corner and pushed forward. No one was around. "Well THAT was a wasted flash grenade."

"They're going to be expecting us if we try to go up the stairs." Higgins said.

"And-a they might have a-da control over 'da elevator!" Grizzoli added. "They'll squash us flatter than a pizza pie!"

"Then we have to use stealth." Swinton and Bogo said at the same time.

"Jinx!" said Simmons.

"Shut up!" They said together.

"I got an idea!" said Clawhauser. "Why don't we use our grappling hook guns and rappel up to the windows, taking them by surprise?"

They all looked at him dumbfounded. "We don't have grappling hook guns!"

"I do." Clawhauser showed the grappling hook gun he had on his belt. The others were stunned.

"Where the hell did you get that?!" Delgato asked.

"What?! I found it when were were getting guns from the weapons stache. Why wouldn't you grab one? You can be like Batcat!"

Several officers groaned. Bogo however, stood up for Clawhauser. "It's not a bad idea."

Swinton was shocked. "What?! We only have one!"

"We just need a distraction. We need a predator to either infiltrate or get captured. Spill the beans that we're coming up by elevator. Swinton, you operate the elevator, press the button for the next floor, then get out. We'll all quietly go up the stairs. When the elevator doors open and no one is in there, we bust through the stair doors and take them by surprise."

"Bad plan." said Swinton. "The stair doors are narrower!"

"But the elevator basically announces your presence with beeps and dings before the doors ever open!"

Swinton smiled. "I got an idea. I'm taking the elevator alone."

"Are you insane?!" Bogo shouted.

"Not IN the elevator, up top. Here's my plan..."

Moments later, Bogo is leading most of his men up the stairs. Clawhauser whispers to Bogo. "So we're going with Swinton's plan?"

"Yes." Bogo replies.

"So...you think her plan was better than yours?"

"SIGH!...Yes."

"...Y'know, I didn't like her ideas at first, but I gotta admit...she's not that bad at her job."

Bogo briefly lowered his ears. "No...no she's not. Now quiet!"

Meanwhile, Snarlov used Clawhauser's Grapple gun to sneak into the 2nd story window. They used him because Clawhuser was too fat to be pulled up by the gun. No one was around, so he removed his officers uniform and threw it in a desk drawer. He made his pants baggy and loose and removed all upper clothing outside of his tank top. "This ees goink' to hurt." The artic wolf took his bowie knife and gave himself some small cuts and spread the blood around to make it look like he had been in a fight.

He saw a group of predators and decided he'd try to blend in. He ran up to them. "Hello fellow criminals! I just came from beeg shootout downstairs! The ZPD! They are comink!"

"Who are you calling a criminal?!" said a panther. "And who are you?!"

"Me?! I am...ummmm...one of Rusev's men! Obviously. Can you not tell by accent?!"

The panther got up in Snarlov's face. "And yet, you call us 'criminals'!"

"Well...yes! We are bad guys, no? I mean, we are an oppressed people who want to overthrow the government and oppress those who oppressed us instead of working to balance both sides. We are righting a wrong by doing something wrong in return, no? So, we are baddies!"

The panther rubbed his chin in befuddlement. "Hmm...I never thought of it that way before. I guess we are! Not that it changes my mind. To hell with prey, right?"

"Right fellow baddie! I am totally fellow bad guy and not secretly a cop!"

He almost made it when someone recognized him. "Snarlov?"

Snarlov looked across the crowd and saw a familiar lion. "Delgato!"

"It's Johnson you idiot."

"Johnson! You are fellow cop pretending to be baddie too? I mean, you are fellow baddie too?"

Peeking through the door, Bogo face-hoofed himself in frustration. "This is by far the worst undercover man we've ever had! Why did I listen to Swinton about using him?!"

"Hold him!" shouted Johnson. The predators quickly grabbed a hold of Snarlov as Johnson approached him with a knife. "Snarlov, I'm not undercover you moron! I'm leading these men! This is the last standing ground for Lionheart's kingdom! It's Alamoo."

"Lionheart is beink dead." Snarlov replied.

"I know. These men have made me the new king! I will NOT go back to the way things were! My father worked himself to death in a prey owned company that did not even give him any compensation when he was forced to retire! He died homeless! I thought I could make a difference as a member of the ZPD. I just saw the same corruption there as anywhere else. One group is going to die here tonight. Either me and my men, or the ZPD."

Johnson put a knife up to Snarlov's throat. "Now you are going to help me. Tell me how they're coming up so we can flank them."

"I-I don't know!"

Johnson pushed the knife a little deeper. It was starting to draw blood. "You have proven yourself to be a very bad liar Snarlov. Now this is the last time I'm going to ask you. Which way are they coming up?!"

"Th-the stairs! And totally not the elevator!"

Johnson smiled. "Such a poor liar." He then addressed his men. "Hold him still. I want him to watch his fellow officers die! The rest of you men, go to the elevator and open fire when the doors open!"

The elevator number lit up "3", made a ding sound and the doors started to open. Snarlov used his shoulders to shove one of his captors so he could hide behind a desk. Without even looking, the predators immediately starting firing blindly into the elevator.

All they shot was a backpack full of TNT hanging off a cord. Swinton was on top of the elevator staying away from the roof door.

The elevator exploded. A huge shockwave and wall of fire burst out from the doors killing several predators and injuring several others Bogo rushed in from the stairway doors. Riot shield at the ready while the others had their guns drawn. "ZPD! Don't move a muscle!"

"I am givink up!" yelled Snarlov with his paws up.

"You work for us you idiot!" Bogo replied.

He then heard a voice from behind. "Hey guys? A Little help?"

The shock of the explosion threw Swinton from the top of the elevator and she was now hanging from the top entrance. The elevator itself now had no floor due to the explosion. "I'm on it! Trunkaby said as he stood near the elevator entrance and reached out with his trunk. Swinton dropped onto it and she was pulled to safety.

The men were rounding up the injured and the ones in good shape. However, Johnson pulled himself out of the rubble with a switch in his paw. "THIS ISN'T OVER!"

Delgato pleaded with his old friend. "Give it up Johnson! There's no kingdom! The people just want their city back! I want my old friend back!"

"Screw you traitor! You see this switch?! The controls were on the fourth floor the whole time! I've got it rigged with C4! I'm gonna blow it up! The dome will remain up and you'll all die with me!"

Bogo reached out. "NOOOOgo ahead."

Johnson was taken by surprise. "Wh-What?!"

"Go...ahead." Bogo said with a smile.

"...F-Fine! Goodbye Zootopia!" He pressed the button on the switch. Nothing happened. He pressed it again and again and still nothing happened. In fact, the six points of the dome started going down. "No!...NO! What the hell's going on?"

Bogo explained. "Did you think we did this raid blindly? After Swinton fumbled on the first attempt, we checked the layout of the building through our police database. We knew the controls were on the fourth floor, but we needed you and your men distracted, so we made our noisy assault from the second. Meanwhile, you took yourself and your men from the fourth floor to the third with the exception of a few. That's when the third precinct came in. We were in contact with officer McHorn and his men the whole time. While the noisy shootout was happening, they sniped your remaining guards with darts and rappelled into the building from the taller building next door. While I was on the stairs, they radio'ed me about the C4 and that they had an explosives expert diffuse it and cut off your radio frequency just in case."

Swinton looked pissed. "Y'know, you could have told me all this before I blew up the elevator with me on top of it. It could have set off the C4!"

Bogo realized his mistake. "Well...shit."

It was then that ZPD helicopters surrounded the building with spotlights shinging inside the place. It was all over. Delgato was pawcuffing a furious Johnson. "You think you've won?!" said the angry lion. "The cycle of abuse and prejudice towards predators will never end! It's like a disease and you bastards are part of the symptom! Lionheart couldn't change it! Wilde won't change it! Nothing will until all the predators fight together!"

Moments later, they were all outside. The last of the Lionheart sympathizers were being rounded up and put into squad cars and vans. Bogo could see the tips of the dome going back down into the ground. The night sky could be seen clearly up above. "It's a beautiful view."

"Why thank you!" said Swinton. Making a little joke.

"Not you!" Bogo fumed. He then calmed down. "I've got to admit, you did an incredible job in there."

Swinton was surprised. "R-Really?"

"Yes. Except Snarlov! Why did you make that idiot go undercover?! He totally blew it!"

"As I expected him to. He did such a poor job of lying that when he told the truth of you guys being on the stairway, they didn't believe him and aimed for the elevator."

Bogo's jaw dropped. "I...you!... You and I are going to have a long talk tomorrow. I have a lot to think over."

"So...I'm not fired?"

"...Maybe. We'll talk in the morning."

Swinton pumped her fist. "Yes! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get the rest of my paperwork done, then celebrate our victory over at Trunkaby's place. I found out he's single."

Bogo chuckled. "What's with you and elephants?!"

"Well, what's with YOU and elephants?!" Swinton snapped back, since Bogo was dating Francine.

They both said it at the same time. "Their trunks!"

They had a laugh together. Bogo and Swinton headed back to the ZPD with the other men.

Earlier, on the rooftop of the Stank Towers apartments

Rusev was getting impatient. He had Miss Stinx in one paw dangling off the edge of the building and a large gun in the other. He was accompanied by two wolf guards. "NEECK VILDE! COME OUT! COME OUT VEREVER YOU ARRE! Time ees almost up Vilde! You have seconds to save her!"

On the next building over, Nick and Judy were hiding behind some vents as they were deciding their move. "We have to do this perfectly!" said Judy. "If we time it wrong, both Miss Stinx and the both of us could die."

"Right. My aim's impeccable. So I need you to use your boa staff to launch me in the air towards Rusev. I'll fire my last two shots from the dart gun to take out the wolves and go for Rusev's jugular. You leap in from behind and take down his legs. Then, I take my 9mm and shoot him dead."

"We have to kill him?"

"I'm not big on killing, but he's far too strong for either of us and we're down to our last two darts. I don't see any other choice."

"TIME'S UP VILDE!" Rusev shouted.

Nick had to hurry. "Shit! Let's go!"

Judy extended her bo staff and leaned down near the edge of the building. Nick took a running start, stepped on the tip of the pole and Judy launched him into the air.

While in the air, he aimed his dart gun and shot the two wolves just as Rusev dropped Miss Stinx off the building.

"STINX!" Nick yelled out in shock, giving away his location. This gave Rusev just enough time to turn around and punch Nick hard in the chest. Knocking the fox down to the floor and opening up his stitches. "There you are beink!"

"Oh no!" Judy said. "Nick!" She took a running start and launched herself off with the bo staff.

Rusev saw that coming too and shot Judy mid-air right through her knee cap. The rabbit screamed as she dropped to the floor.

Rusev laughed menacingly. "HaHaHaHAHAHAAA! That was beink too easy! You two are eediots!"

Nick tried to get out his gun "I'll kill you Rusev! I'll GAAAAHH!"

Rusev stomped his foot down on Nick's chest, opening the stitches more. "Eef you were one hundred percent, you may have had a sliver of a chance, but look at you. Your steetches still haven't healed from the beatink I gave you Friday!"

Judy could do nothing but hold her knee in great pain. Rusev picked up Nick like a rag doll and held him over his head. "First, I keel you, then you're leetle girlfriend, then...Vivian Rigson!"

The image was just like Cotton had drawn. Nick begged for Spots' life. "No!...Please!...She's suffered enough!"

"Shut up! No one can stop me! Me and Dapper Dan, ve have made many connections! I yam famous and have many friends in high places! No one can stop me!"

Judy reached out for her extendable bo staff just inches from her, but she would be too late.

"Now, you stoopeed leetle fox...DIE!" Rusev threw Nick off the building. Before he could gloat and watch, Judy hit him in the head.

"NOOOOO!" she screamed. "MY NICK!"

Rusev turned around and was pissed. "You be havink death weesh?!" He grabbed Judy by her vest and carried her to the edge of the building. "Here! Look at your lover's body, then join heem!"

He looked over...and saw nothing on the street below except a parked car. "Vere ees Vilde? Vere ees skunk?!"

He fell backwards and dropped Judy as a giant hawk carrying Nick wilde swooped by right in front of his face. "AAAAH! EES ALPHA PREDATOR!"

Zeke the hawk landed with Nick on his back. The fox had a smug grin. "You were saying something about having friends in high places?"

Rusev tried to point his gun at the red-tailed hawk, but he swiped it away with his talon, causing a huge cut on the bear's paws. "I owe Mr. Wilde a huge debt. He has some reservations on killing. I don't."

The hawk hooks his talons deep into Rusev and was dragging him towards the edge of the building.

The polar bear panicked and struggled to get free. "AAAHH! LET GO OF ME!"

"I will soon enough." The hawk warned.

Rusev in his struggling managed to grab the hawk's legs and swing himself free. He took the hawk by the legs and smashed him into the ground before throwing him off the building.

Zeke spun around in the air and barely managed to catch himself as he hit the street below. "AH! My wing!" Sadly he sprained it bad and could not fly for a few minutes.

A bloody Rusev was very upset. He turned around to face Nick and Judy. "A nice leetle trick! But all eet deed was pees me off!"

Claws bared, Rusev approached Nick. Nick then drew out his gun. "You have ONE chance or surrendering or I WILL shoot!"

"You don't have the guts! The keeler instink! I do."

Rusev raised his claws to slash Nick once more. Trembling, Nick steadied his gun.

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

Nick and Judy were shocked. The shot didn't come from Nick's gun in front of him, but from behind.

From the rooftop entrance, Dapper Dan had arrived. He shot five rounds into Rusev's back. "We had a deal Rusev. I told you. ….I TOLD you! Hands off Nick Wilde! I have plans for him! Now you forced my hand." He locked the door behind him. "Don't need any nosy neighbors barging in."

Rusev turned around. Nick could see how bloody his back was.

Rusev was fading fast as he tried to approach Dapper Dan. "S-Stoopeed...leetle..."

"Oh just die already!" Dan tripped him as the bear stumbled by and he fell off of the roof. The bear landed on top of a car, killing him instantly. Rusev was finally dead.

Nick was confused. "Who the hell are you?!"

"I'm Dapper Dan! Or at least...I pretended to be. I'll explain in a moment my dear boy. By the way, you are doing a SPLENDID job! So proud!"

"Dapper Dan?" Judy asked while fighting the the pain of her bloody knee. "I read your case file. The fox who murdered his husband?"

"One and the same and not at all! By the way dear, that shot to the knee is terrible! It'll never heal and you must be in a lot of pain. Here, let me help you." He took out his gun and shot the bottom half of Judy's leg clean off from the knee cap. "There! Less to worry about! HA-HA!"

The bottom half of her leg actually slid across a bit and Judy screamed in agony.

Nick was enraged. He pointed his gun at Dan. "YOU BASTARD!"

Dan kept his gun pointed at Judy. "Nah-ah-ah! You so much as try to pull back the pin with your thumb, I'll blow her brains out. And I just proved I'll do it with ease. Look at you Nick! You've gotten so big! So handsome!"

"You said you were pretending to be Dapper Dan. Who the hell are you, really?"

"Always the detective! That's what I love about you! You got me! I killed Dapper Dan and took his place a long, long time ago. I was lucky to have someone in jail with similar fur pattern as me. But c'mon boy. You don't need me to tell you. I've gotten rid of all of Dan's colognes. My natural musk has returned. Take a good whiff of me!"

Nick smelled the air. His ears shot up and his eyes bulged out "No...NO! It can't be!"

"Oh but it is! Nick, Lionheart is dead thanks to your little friend, but that's okay! We don't need a kingdom. What with you in charge and with my guidance, we can change the laws!"

Nick was still in shock. The gun in his hands was trembling. Not just from nerves, but from blood loss. "I...I..."

"Make it better for all predators and FINALLY...I can get that loan!"

That confirmed it. Nick dropped his gun. "You can't be him! You just can't! He's dead! YOU'RE DEAD!"

Judy was freaking out. "Nick! Pick up your AAAAHH! Pick up your gun! Nick! Who is he?!"

Nick's hands were shaking as tears were running down his cheeks. He never felt more betrayed in his life. "He's...my father."

"Correct!" John said. "John Wilde in the fur and back from the dead! Now, join me and we can rule Zootopia as father and son!"
