Alex raced back to Zootopia and barged into Nicks apartment, where him and Judy were playing chess yet again.
"Guys, stop it. The city is in danger"
"Why do you think that?" Nick said. "We haven't seen anything suspicious"
Suddenly the trio heard an explosion outside. The looked out the window to see a flaming helicopter heading straight for them. The pair got down as the chopper scraped against the building and caused the whole building to shake.
"Dammit" Nick said, kicking the chess pieces that had been knocked over by the helicopter. The group raced outside as toothdee radioed alex.
"Alex! There is a massive meterex fleet heading towards the city! It's a full scale invasion!"
The trio looked up and saw meterex fighters flying overhead.
"We need to hold this city" alex said "direct us to locations where the meterex are coming in"
"Roger that"
Nick, Judy and Alex hopped into Alex's car and drove off to one of these locations. Alex had brought weapons and gear with him, which Nick and Judy quickly equipped and prepared for battle.
The group reached one of the locations, it was a big park with a meterex drop ship in the middle, deploying troops.
Alex stopped the car and the team got out and took cover. The meterex engaged the squad, but they fired back relentlessly. Alex took down 3 meterex soldiers, then used grenades to wipe out a few more.
Nick and Judy also managed to down scores of meterex. Another dropship came in and 2 meterex heavy units jumped off. Nick and Judy threw a few grenades that took down one heavy unit. Alex fired at the other one as it charged towards him, knocking over a car. Alex rolled to evade a blow from the unit and got up behind it, managing to hit the meterex in its weak point and put it down.
There were just a few more normal meterex in the area. The team marched forwards, shooting down one after another, until the park was clear and it was time to head to another location.
"Alex" Toothdee said over the radio "the ZPD is being hit hard by the meterex. You need to help them"
The squad hopped back into the car and resupplied their weapons and gear as alex drove to the ZPD station. When they arrived, the group saw ZPD officers outside the station, taking cover behind cars and firing upon advancing meterex.
The squad joined the fray almost instantly. Alex ran over a squad of meterex and jumped out to group up with the other officers.
Multiple heavy units dropped from ships and started to move towards the group. One unit picked up a car and threw it, causing the officers to take cover.
Alex had a rocket launcher in the car, he picked it up and fired 2 shots at one unit, causing it to explode. Nick and Judy dealt with the other unit using grenades.
Another meterex drop ship came in and fired upon the officers with a turret on the side. Alex fired a rocket at the ships engine, causing it to spin out of control and slam into the ground.
"Man, where can I get one of those!" A ZPD officer said. Suddenly a massive cannon blast struck a car nearby, taking out 2 officers in the explosion. Alex turned to where the blast had come from, to see a meterex tank making its way down the street. Alex fired another rocket, but it didn't destroy the tank. Other ZPD officers took cover as the tank continued its bombardment. Normal meterex were breaching the police line, forcing alex and the squad to concentrate their fire on those units. An elite meterex jumped over a car and surprised alex, pinning him to the ground. Alex tried to push the meterex back with his foot, then the unit was destroyed by Nick and Judy.
Alex took another look at the meterex tank, and he noticed a tanker truck right next to it. Firing another rocket, alex struck the truck and caused a massive explosion that enveloped the meterex tank. When the smoke cleared, the meterex vehicle was nothing but wreckage. Toothdee came in over the radio.
"The US military is here to assist, but it's not going so well. We need to evacuate."
"What?! We can't run away!" Judy said. "This is our city!"
"I know, I don't want to retreat either, but the meterex are to overwhelming, we need to pull back and come up with a plan of attack."
"*sigh* alright"
"Where do we go?" Alex asked.
"The military has Transport boats that evacuating civilians. I recommend you guys get to those boats"
"Roger that"
Chief bogo exited the ZPD station with a group of other officers.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"We need to evacuate chief" alex responded
"Evacuate?! And let them take the city"
"It's a tactical retreat, we need to fall back and regroup. If you don't want to do that then you can stay here and die"
The chief was taken aback by this statement, but before he could respond in anger, an explosion occurred nearby, and meterex fighters flew overhead. The chiefs eyes wandered to the bodies of the few officers that had been killed in the meterex assault.
"*sigh* ok, your right"
"Then everyone get in your vehicles and follow me" alex said hopping back in his car.
Within minutes there was a convoy of mostly ZPD vehicles going down the roads to the evac point. Meterex troops continued to fire at the convoy, but the vehicles maintained speed and quickly passed by the threat. But then a lightly armored meterex vehicle came out onto the street and fire upon the convoy. Alex swerved to avoid the incoming shots. Before anyone could think of a plan, a missile struck the vehicle and destroyed it. A US attack chopper hovered over the convoy, providing support. Alex drove through a squad of meterex troops and drove across a bridge, then arrived at the evac point. The convoy stopped and the animals inside jumped out and started heading towards the boat that US marines were directing them to.
"Guys, I have bad news" said Toothdee "if the meterex get across that bridge while you are evacuating, they could bombard the evacuation ships with everything they've got. It's to dangerous for air support to cover you guys. Someone is going to have to stay behind and cover the escape"
The attack helicopter had flown off, most likely to avoid meterex fire.
"I'll do it" alex said.
"Alex you don't need to..." Judy started to say.
"No, one of you can't do it, the other person would be to overcome with grief about losing their mate"
Nick and Judy blushed.
"I'll handle it. Besides, I barely wanted to retreat anyway, I wanted to hold this city. This will give me a chance to do that."
"Good luck alex" Judy said as her and Nick gave alex a hug, before heading towards the evac boat.
"Brave human" Nick said as they ran.
Alex checked his weapons and gear, before racing out onto the bridge to meet the meterex head on.
The bridge was littered with vehicles and debris that provided a lot of cover. The area in front of alex was obscured by smoke, so he couldn't make out the exact state of the meterex forces.
A squad of meterex soldiers jumped through the smoke and began to attack alex. He shoot down 3 soldiers with his rifle, then switched to his pistol to eliminate the last 2.
Another larger squad of meterex joined the fight. Alex held his sword in one hand, and his rifle in the other. He slashed at some of the soldiers, then opened fire on the remaining hostiles. Taking cover, alex reloaded before firing again and taking down the last meterex soldier.
A heavy unit, accompanied by normal meterex jumped into the fight. Alex threw grenades that did damage to the heavy and took out a few other soldiers. The grenade blast also stunned the heavy, allowing alex to run up and stab it with his sword. With the heavy unit down, alex focused his fire on the normal units.
Once they were down another group of enemies joined the fray. This group consisted of a heavy unit, and elite unit, and normal enemies. Alex took out 2 regular meterex as the heavy and elite surrounded him. The elite swiped at alex, who maneuvered towards the heavy unit while he blocked the blows. The heavy unit attempted a downward strike, but when it did that, alex rolled behind the elite unit and kicked it forward into the heavy unit's swing. While the heavy unit was distracted because it accidentally killed its ally, alex stabbed the unit and put it down.
2 more heavy meterex came in. One was equipped with a flamethrower, the other one had grenades. Alex ran continuously to avoid being burnt or blown up. With this speed he was able to get behind the flamethrower unit and hit it in the tank on its back. The tank then exploded and destroyed the meterex unit. As the meterex with grenades prepared to thrown one of these explosives, alex shot it. This in turn caused the unit to drop the grenade at its feet. When the grenade exploded, it also caused the rest of the grenades on the meterex to explode, killing multiple meterex nearby. Alex mopped up the last meterex soldier with his rifle.
Then another group of meterex entered the battlefield. It was multiple elite and heavy units, as well as a few normal meterex soldiers. As the elites swung at him, alex blocked the strikes and fired back with his rifle. Despite the fact that alex was indeed doing damage to his enemy, so were the meterex.
Within a few minutes alex was weakened and he stumbled back as the meterex horde continued to advance. Alex turned and saw the evacuation boat sail away from the city, out of harms way. His job was complete, alex charged straight at the meterex, shooting and slashing wildly. But their were to many enemies and with their combined force the meterex threw alex over the bridge into the water below.
The meterex continued past the bridge as alex floated in the water below. Until a few meterex units pulled him from the water.
