Alex awoke. There were still a few meterex in the room, but there were definitely less enemies then when Alex passed out. The only thing going through Alex's mind was that he had to escape, but how? The meterex had him restrained and under guard. But the straps holding his hands were made of a leather like material. The meterex in the room must have thought he was still unconscious, because they were busy looking towards the doors of the room. Alex began to bite one of the straps, crushing and tearing it with his teeth. The strap began to grow weaker and soon Alex was able to sever the strap and free his right hand. As he started to untie the other restraint, a meterex soldier turned towards him. Alex quickly closed his eyes and pretended he was still restrained. After the soldier turned away Alex untied the rest of the restraints, But he still needed to get a weapon. Sneaking up behind one meterex, Alex preformed a takedown and took his gun. There was a heavy meterex soldier in the room but he had his back towards Alex. With a good view of the weak point, Alex fired and downed the heavy meterex. The last meterex soldier turned towards Alex, but before he could do anything Alex eliminated him.

Looking out the window, Alex examined the sight before him. It was late in the day, and everything had a yellow and orange tint. But Zootopia was in turmoil, smoke rose from points around the city and Alex didn't see any movement. He had to get back to his friends as soon as possible if there was any chance of saving Zootopia.

Exiting the room via one of the doors nearby, Alex came into another room that contained all of his gear. It was a little odd that they would keep his gear so close to him, but then again maybe the meterex wanted to have everything Alex related in one area.

"Hello? Toothdee? Is anyone there?" Alex said into his radio as he equipped his weapons and gear. "Hello? Damn it, I can't get through"

Alex exited the room and proceeded through the building, keeping an eye out for meterex. As he turned a corner, Alex saw a meterex soldier on guard up ahead. Slowly going up behind the soldier, Alex stabbed it with his knife. Surprisingly there were not many meterex nearby, which made Alex wonder where they had gone.

That question was answered when Alex came upon a large room that was full of meterex moving supplies or guarding the area.

"HEY!" Alex yelled.

The meterex turned towards him and he opened fire, taking out a bunch of meterex before they could return fire. Alex tossed a few grenades that took out a couple enemies, then he continued firing with his rifle. More meterex began pouring in from an entrance on the side of the room. Alex got into cover and reloaded, before moving around behind the cover and popping up to gun down enemy meterex. A heavy meterex entered the battlefield, prompting Alex to focus all his firepower on it. Two grenades were thrown that did lots of damage to heavy, but it still got close to Alex and started trying to melee him. Alex dodged the strikes and hit back with his sword, aiming for vulnerable areas. Stabbing the meterex in the chest, the bot began sparking and went down. The meterex were falling back out the entrance, and Alex was able see through it. The entrance lead to a large roof area, with supplies everywhere and a massive meterex ship docked on the roof to refuel. Alex charged out to the roof and began shooting non stop with his rifle and grenade launcher, trying to take out as many meterex as possible. Then a meterex fighter jet appeared and began to open fire upon Alex. This would make this a lot tougher, but Alex was determined to take the craft down.

"Alex? Alex? Is that you?" Toothdees voice came in over The radio.

"Toothdee? Do you read me?" Alex said, still engaging the aircraft with his grenade launcher.

"I read you, where the heck are you?"

"Some large building that's under construction. The one with the meterex ship Docked on it"

There was a pause as toothdee focused on Alex's position.

"Ok, I see you. Or more so what your doing"

"What's the situation with the city?"

"Don't you want to destroy the fighter jet before talking about that?"

"No time"

"Sigh, well the situation is as bad as you would expect. The city is under occupation."

"What about the US military?"

"They're trying to formulate a plan of attack"

"We need to free this city. Can you patch live footage of me to screens all over the city?"

"I can try, but what are you planning on doing?"

"When I destroy this meterex ship, that might inspire people to rise up against the meterex, and take back their city"

"That could work, I'm patching you through now"

Screens all over the city, from large advertising screens to TVs, suddenly changed to a ZNN report that showed a video taken from far away, but zoomed in on the battle Alex was in. Other bits of information came across the screen, stating that it was Alex, and that this city could be liberated.

"This is Andy" the voice of the newscaster said "we are currently streaming live footage of Alex Boehm, who appears to be single handily engaging a meterex ship"

Alex fired more grenades at the meterex fighter and it started smoking and flaming before crashing into the meterex ship, causing a huge explosion. More hostiles continued to pour out of the meterex ship. In order to destroy the vessel, Alex would have to overload the fuel systems, then cause an explosion. Using smoke and flash grenades, Alex delayed the meterex soldiers while he sprinted over to the fueling system nearby. He turned a large valve that made the system extremely volatile with the massive amounts of fuel. Now he just had to cause an explosion. As the meterex continued to fire on him, Alex lobbed grenade after grenade at the fuel system. Fire burst from the pipes and tanks. Alex ran back into the building and took cover as the fuel system ignited in a massive fireball. The flames spread through the pipes and tanks, then flowed into the meterex ship making the whole vessel burst violently with fire shooting out. The building shook as the ship broke into dozens of pieces and and fireball wiped out the remaining meterex. The ship slowly began to crash down, scraping against the building before slamming into the ground below.

Citizens watching the action on tv or out the window, marveled at Alex's feat. This was their city, it belonged to them.

"Alex! You did it!" Toothdee said. "We're already getting reports of citizens fighting back. And the US military is going ahead with an attack plan!"

"Good. Now How do I get out of here?"

"There should be an elevator somewhere in the building that you can use to get directly to the ground floor"

"Roger, preceding there now"

At the other end of the room was the elevator toothdee had described, Alex got in and selected the ground floor. It didn't take long for him to reach the ground floor, and surprisingly the meterex made no attempt to stop him. Possibly because they were still reeling from the destruction of their ship. But when Alex reached the ground floor, the meterex were waiting for him. They Opened fire upon him as Alex ducked down behind cover and returned fire. There weren't many enemies in the lobby, and Alex was able to quickly blast through them and head outside. But outside there were many more enemies, that were ready to set up an effective defense against Alex. The relentless bullets forced Alex down. Shooting back and throwing grenades, Alex took down 5 hostiles, but there were still many more. It got worse when another meterex jet came in and began to fire at Alex. Thinking quick, alex noticed a large container suspended by a crane above the enemy fighter. Alex shot the wire that was suspending the container and it fell on the fighter. The vehicle slammed into the ground and caused a huge explosion that enveloped the hostile meterex.

Alex walked a path through the flames and continued forward. The bodies of meterex soldiers lay around him, but to alex they were just another enemy.

Alex found his way towards a large construction area. The ground was dirt and building materials were everywhere

Toothdee radioed Alex "ALEX! THE ZOOTOPIA MONITOR IS COMING! YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THERE!"

The ground shook in rhythmic thumps, going in a pattern. Alex turned and saw a rhino and a tiger, some of the strongest animals in Zootopia, running away with faces full of fear. Then a large robotic shape came out from behind a nearby building, and entered he construction site. It was the Zootopia monitor. A massive meterex unit that was bigger than a small building. 4 legs gave it movement, and the body was covered with guns, missile launchers and all sorts of weapons. The monitor itself was painted white and color and was equipped with heavy armor, anywhere you looked on it you could clearly see that it was a robot. A large booming voice filled the sky.

"Curfew is in effect. Citizens of Zootopia, return to your homes"

Alex eyed a nearby building and saw animals shutting there Windows and the massive robot moved towards the center of the construction site. It aimed at Alex, "cease your operations"

"Alex" toothdee radioed "you have to defeat that thing! If you do, the citizens of Zootopia might rise up and take back their city."

Alex dove into an exposed pipe, as the Zootopia monitor opened its main eye, and charged a powerful laser blast, Then it fired, sending rubble in all directions. Luckily Alex was safe underground, and Not damaged by the laser blast.

"Alex! Try and hit the Zootopia monitor while it's charging its main laser!"

Alex got out of cover and hid behind a concrete pillar. The Zootopia monitor charged up for another laser shot. But before it could fire, Alex blasted it in the eye with his rifle. The eye port closed and the monitor stumbled backwards. The massive mech readied its missile launchers, but Alex shot the rocket pods before they could fire, causing a huge explosion that did heavy damage to the monitor. Ports on the side of the zootopia monitor opened up to let off gasses and release pressure from the damage. The ports lead right to the heart of the monitor, Alex fired into them, hitting the inside of the zootopia monitor and doing even more damage.

"Alex!" Toothdee radioed. "It's working, people are seeing that the meterex can be beaten! We're getting more reports of uprisings all over the city! We have fighter jets inbound, they'll be there in 2 minutes."

Normal meterex soldiers came pouring into the battlefield in large numbers. Alex opened fire and killed a few that were moving towards him. The zootopia monitor charged up another laser blast, but Alex shot the eye again, and the mech stumbled backwards. More hostile meterex came out near Alex. They hit him with their guns and did damage before Alex could shoot them. A bullet from the zootopia monitor grazed Alex's head, but it would take a lot more to kill him. Alex took out a syringe and stabbed Himself with it, flooding his body with healing drugs.

He popped out of cover and shot the rocket pods on the zootopia monitor, causing another large explosion. Suddenly 2 F-16 fighter jets streaked overhead and unleashed a barrage of heavy fire on the zootopia monitor. The mech stumbled backwards as the high caliber rounds pierced its armor. Alex took this moment to kill off more normal meterex that were advancing towards him.

"We have more support inbound Alex! Just hang on!"

The zootopia monitor opened a port on its underside to vent its engine, but this port was protected by flamethrowers that burnt the area around the weak point. Alex ran into the underground pipes that were laid throughout the construction site. He managed to avoid the flamethrowers and get up underneath the monitor to blast the engine. The port closed as the zootopia monitor destroyed the pipes with its eye blast. Alex once again engaged the monitor as it opened fire at him with both rockets and guns.

Alex shot the rocket pods again and the resulting explosion blew one of the pods clean off. More ports opened, that were prime targets for Alex's gunfire. A warthog aircraft entered the battlefield and fired a heavy missile volley at the monitor, causing huge chunks of the mech's armor to fall off.

"Alex, we have bombers inbound to finish off the zootopia monitor, but you have to make sure that thing can't shoot them down with anti aircraft guns!"

Alex spotted 4 large anti aircraft guns on the monitor's back, but he had to get behind the monitor to destroy the guns.

Alex shot out a meterex rocket trooper and picked up his rocket launcher. Then he waited until the monitor opened its eye again. Another consecutive shot blinded the monitor, giving him time to retreat into the pipes. The Zootopia monitor searched the area, looking for its prey. "You will appear and receive punishment" came a loud voice from the mech. Alex came back up out the pipes behind the monitor, which was totally oblivious to his presence. Alex fired a rocket at the monitors back, destroying 2 of the 4 guns. In the quick instant he had while the monitor was stunned, Alex reloaded and fired a rocket again, destroying the remaining 2 guns.

"The guns are down! Bombers are incoming!"

A wedge shaped black bird bomber appeared in the sky and began dropping dozens of bombs on the monitor. The Zootopia monitor thrashed as the area around it exploded. The vehicle was having large chunks of this machinery blown off by every bomb that dropped. Part of the monitor exploded, sending the mech crashing into a nearby building, then a massive explosion erupted from the Zootopia monitor! Destroying it for good.

"Alex! You did it! The Zootopia monitor is down! The people are rising up to take back their city! Well done Alex! You have single handedly saved Zootopia"

Alex smiled as more jets streaked across the sky, and alex walked towards the building that the monitor had collapsed into.
