Laval, eris and cragger had joined Alex on the typhoon. They wanted to stop MAN, and were willing to go wherever that quest took them. The next stop, was the mammal metropolis of Zootopia, located in Hawaii. As the typhoon neared the city, its crew looked out at the gleaming city before them. Tall buildings wound there way up to the sky and shown bright with the sunlight that rained down. The city was alive, animals moving back and forth in this beautiful region of the world.
The ship touched down in a clearing in this urban jungle, and Those on the ship disembarked and walked into the city. Two ZPD cruisers pulled up and Nick and Judy hopped out.
"Alex! Toothdee! Everyone!" Judy said happily "long time no see"
"Didn't Alex just talk to you on the phone?" Humphrey said.
"Well then they would've hear each other, but they wouldn't see each other" Nick said.
The group shook hands with Nick and Judy then toothdee, Alex, and laval began walking with Nick and Judy back to the cruisers, As the city moved around them.
"You got the report I sent, right?" Alex said, holding his rifle as the group walked.
"Yes" Judy responded "but we have no evidence that MAN is here in Zootopia. Our main problem is local criminal gangs that have become more prevalent as of late"
The group got into the cruisers, with Nick, Judy and Alex in one, and Toothdee and laval in the other.
"It's gotten worse" Judy said as they started driving. "We need your help. This morning a gang attacked a local science lab and they have taken hostages. We need you to free the hostages and eliminate the gang members"
"We can do that" alex said. "When do we start?"
"The lab is not far, ZPD, including desta are already on site. There's weapons in the back you can use"
"Although it appears you've brought your own" nick said. "Which means I get to use the weapons in the back"
Within a few minutes the cruisers pulled into the parking lot of a large, Modern looking building. Police and emergency vehicles were set up all over the area, with guns trained on the building.
The squad got out of their cruisers and grouped together with other officers. A human young looking woman dressed in a ZPD uniform came over to the group.
"Alex!" She said.
"Desta!" Alex said as the two hugged. Alex had helped Desta with an investigation a while back, and that's how the two met and became ZPD officers. Desta had long brown hair with a bright orange streak through Part of it, and around her neck was a silver chain necklace with a red ruby attached to it.
"How are you doing?" Alex asked.
"I'll feel better once we deal with these guys" she said gesturing to the building.
"I'll second that" toothdee said.
Chief bogo came over to the group and reached out his hoof for a handshake.
"Boehm! glad to have you here" the buffalo said shaking hands with Alex.
"It's my pleasure sir. What's the situation?"
The group began examining a map of the area, and blueprints of the building while chief bogo outlined what was happening.
"We think that the main gang members and 4 hostages are holed up in this room" the chief said pointing to an area on the blueprints. "Other gang members are strewn throughout the building, keeping watch."
Alex noticed that there was some construction going on next to the building, and that a crane was sitting near the building itself. That side of the building also had scaffolding up against it and you couldn't see any part of the building.
"What if we climbed up that crane, jumped to the roof and got inside the building" Alex said pointing to the crane.
"That sounds like a crazy idea" bogo said.
"But it's the best option we've got. The scaffolding there will block the windows so the gang can't see us."
"That may just work, but whose going to go inside?"
"Me and Desta will go, Having a small team will make us more stealthy. The rest of you wait here and toothdee, I'll need you to feed me information."
"Roger that" toothdee responded.
Alex and Desta crouched down behind a cruiser as ZPD officers began attempting to distract the gang members by trying to negotiate with them. The pair ran across the parking lot and ducked into the construction site. Then the two of them climbed up to the arm of the crane and started to climb up. At the top Alex made a large jump and landed on the roof of the lab. Desta followed his lead and once both of them were on the roof, they slowly entered the building via a door.
"Stay quiet" Alex said.
"Roger that"
"We should be close to the room with the hostages."
The pair came to a large atrium with a walkway running around the side of the space. 2 gangsters were walking around the atrium, armed with assault rifles. Alex ducked behind a large column in the room and waited for one of the gangsters to get close. When he got close Alex quickly jumped out and stabbed the gangster with his knife before retreating back into cover. Desta quickly snuck up behind the other enemy and took him down. The pair slowly moved down a hallway and saw 2 guards with their backs to them. Alex and Desta preformed a takedown at the same time, and dealt with the threat.
"Boehm! Chief bogos voice came through the radio. They've started shooting at us! We think they are making a move! We're firing back, but you need to get those hostages now."
"Were almost there" Alex said. Heading down another hallway, the pair surprised a gangsters nearby. As he turned his gun towards the pair Alex hit the gun to the side and punched the enemy in the face. Then Desta grabbed his head and slammed it into her knee, knocking him out.
"This is the room. Prepare to go loud" Alex said preparing to breach a door nearby. Desta got into position and Alex counted down, then kicked open the door and the pair stormed in. They instantly spotted 4 gang members in the room as well as a few hostages. Alex preformed 2 quick headshots on 2 gang members and Desta shot another gangsters, before focusing her fire on a gangster that had been knocked down by the breach.
"We've secured 3 hostages, but we don't see the fourth" Alex said into his radio.
"They took the professor. He's our lead researcher" one of the hostages said.
"The gangsters have taken the lead researcher somewhere else"
"We'll send a team for the hostages. You Proceed through the building, eliminate the rest of the gangsters and find that hostage" bogo said.
"Roger that" Alex responded, before turning to the hostages. "Take their weapons and barricade yourselves in here. Kill any gangsters that come near but be careful, there are ZPD officers coming for you. Don't kill them by mistake"
"We'll be careful" one of the hostages said, picking up a weapon from the body of a gangster.
Alex and Desta exited the room and moved down the hallway to a stairwell. 2 gangsters started coming up the stairs, but Alex and Desta were able to quickly shoot them. They exited the stairwell and entered another hallway where more gangsters were. The gangsters noticed the squad and opened fire. Alex threw a grenade that eliminated one gangster and Desta gunned down another one that was making a break for cover. The remaining gangster got into cover and began blind firing at Alex and Desta. While Alex drew the enemy fire, desta lined up a precision shot and hit the last gangster in the head. The pair exited the building via a back entrance, and saw a white van speeding out of the rear parking lot. There were more enemies in the parking lot that quickly engaged Alex and Desta as they took cover.
"Boehm! Did you see that white van that just took off?" Body said as Alex and Desta started taking out gangsters.
"Yeah"
"The lead researcher is inside. We're attempting to pursue, you two deal with the remaining gangsters"
"Affirmative"
Alex and Desta advanced on the gangsters, driving them into an alley. Desta tossed a few grenades that took down a few gangsters, then They dealt with the rest of the enemies using their firearms. Through the alleyway was a road with traffic racing by at top speed. More gangsters were on the other side of the roadway, and beyond them the ground dropped downward to another highway. Alex quickly ran out onto the road and jumped back as a car passed in front of him. Then he darted to the other side of the road and began engaging the gangsters.
"Why don't these guys stop?" Desta said, following Alex across the road.
"Or why can't it be mouse cars?"
The two of them gunned down the last gangsters, the Toothdees voice came over the radio. "You two are near a highway right?"
"Yeah" Alex said as him and Desta stood next to the highway.
"I think the van with the hostage is on that highway"
The pair spotted the white van racing down the highway, swerving between traffic.
"We see it" Alex said. He thought for a moment, then noticed a bus coming down the highway. "This is crazy. JUMP!"
Alex and Desta jumped down to the highway and landed on the bus that was going by.
"Alex? Where the heck are you going?" Toothdee said.
"Pursuing the target, find Transport and follow"
"Roger"
Black SUVs pulled up alongside the bus and gangsters leaned out the windows and opened fire on Alex and Desta.
"Take them out!" Desta said as the pair began shooting back. A couple of shots later, The SUV exploded and came to a screeching stop on the road.
"Jump!" Alex said. The pair jumped to another bus and steadied themselves as another SUV pulled up. When they Engaged the vehicle, Desta managed to hit the driver, making short work of the threat. The two jumped to a third bus but this time when they landed the bus swerved and Alex lost his balance, causing him to tumble over the side of the bus. But Alex quickly grabbed the side of the vehicle's roof and held on tight to avoid landing on the highway. A pickup truck of gangsters pulled up alongside the bus, this one was a technical, armored with metal covering the windows and engine. Alex took out his pistol and opened fire, managing to hit a gunner in the back but the bullets could not pierce the vehicles armor. The truck swerved and slammed into the side of the bus, trying to ram Alex, but Luckily He was able to pull his legs up and avoid getting crushed. When the vehicle got close Desta was able to take out the other gunner in the back. Alex continued to fire with his pistol but it wasn't doing anything, so it was time for something crazier. Alex put his feet against the side of the bus and jumped with all his might, landing on the hood of the enemy technical. Alex punched the armor plating causing it to bend, then he shook his hand to get rid of the pain. Then Alex grabbed the bent up side of the armor and pulled it off to expose the pig driving the vehicle. Alex grabbed the driver, pulled him out of the truck, and threw him onto the roadway where he slammed into a light pole as he flew through The air. Climbing onto the vehicles roof, Alex made another jump and grabbed onto the bus as the technical rolled out of control and crashed.
"Enemy chopper!" Desta said as a helicopter came in and started flying low over the highway.
"Take it down!"
The pair started shooting at the helicopter, and within seconds the vehicle was already smoking. The two jumped to another bus and then resumed their fight with the helicopter. Fire erupted from the aircraft and it flew out of control before crashing into a billboard.
The squad jumped to a bus that was next to the white van with the hostage. Desta jumped onto the roof of the van while Alex jumped to the passenger side door. He grabbed a metal rod near the door, but it broke off partly and Alex narrowly avoided falling into the road. Taking out his pistol, Alex fired into the cab of the van and killed the driver and guard in the passenger seat. Desta jumped down to the drivers side door and reached in to grab the steering wheel. Suddenly another enemy truck slammed into the van causing it to lose control, ram through the barrier on the side of the bridge, and crash into the water below. As the vehicle began sinking Alex and Desta swam down to the rear door. Alex opened the door and the body of a gangster floated out as Alex reached in and grabbed the hostage. Swimming back to the surface Alex noticed that Desta had stopped swimming, so he grabbed her and pulled both of them to the shore nearby. The hostage coughed up some water before falling unconscious on the beach. Alex laid Desta on her back and pressed firmly on her chest, making her spit up water and cough.
"You good?" Alex asked.
Desta made a thumbs up as a ZPD helicopter landed nearby and police cars pulled up. Judy walked off the helicopter and made her way over to Alex and Desta, with Nick following close behind.
"No one in the ZPD could do that" the rabbit said. "Great work!"
"Don't mention it" Alex said.
"Pawpsicles are on me tonight" Nick said as medics came over to examine the hostage.
