Here's chapter 23. This chapter focuses on some secondary characters from Zootopia and Sonic.
Another day in Japan has just started, the day started the same as the previous one, calm with the inhabitants of the city going to their respective jobs (those that were still open) For everyone else they had the day off and relaxed at home, with the exception of students from schools and universities who took classes at home, while they were watched by their relatives to complete it. The streets were half filled with passers-by who were in their cars or buses, while others walked along the approach to go to their respective jobs, although they also had the option of taking the train.
In one of the hotels in the city were Bogo, Clawhauser, Shadow, Rouge, Rutan, Silver and Jewel. They had arrived in the city the day before, but due to the long flight they were quite tired (with the exception of Shadow), for that reason is that as soon as they arrived at the hotel they had a quick dinner, a quick bath and then went to bed to sleep. The room had four beds therefore Bogo and Clawhauser slept together in the first bed, Shadow and Rouge slept in the second bed with their baby daughter Jewel, Rutan slept only in the third bed, while Silver slept alone in the fourth bed.
So tired had been the night before that Bogo and Clawhauser did not try to contact Nick and Judy, nor did they try to get in touch with Jack or Finnick, since in the case of the latter two they had no direct contact with them. If they had contacted them, they might have saved Nick and Finnick from the scolding they received from Jack and Judy. But at least they had a nice night sleeping in each other's arms, which they hadn't done in the last two months due to mishaps.
Shadow was the only one who did not feel so tired, since since he was created artificially, several things had to happen to really tire him. But since his wife Rouge had suggested that at least taking a while to relax and letting his body rest for a few hours would do her good, in the end she agreed. Although something that Shadow had developed in recent years was the ability to sense danger even if he was asleep, therefore, if something serious were to happen he would get up as quickly as possible and take care to protect others in a flicker.
Now finally each one woke up little by little, first yawning while covering their mouths with their hands and then sitting on the beds and stretching. They all had a good night and had regained their strength, being ready for a new day. They got up each of the respective beds in which they were asleep and prepared to perform that day. So they were phoned the front desk to order breakfast. Clawhauser took advantage and took out of some of his suitcases, one of the cereal boxes that he brought with him.
When they arrived to bring them food, the inhabitants of Mobius hid since at that time they were not dressed in such a way to go unnoticed it was better to stay out of sight so that there were not many questions that nobody would be willing to answer at that time. Once almost everyone was seated at a table and Clawhauser helped himself to some cereal, which he also shared with Rutan and Silver. On the other hand they had bought a bottle of milk for Jewel to drink from. Shadow by his side ate apart from the others.
"Ms. Rouge, does your husband usually eat separately from the rest of the family? " asked Bogo.
"No, he is usually very close to us. He acts like that with new people," Rouge replied.
"Oh, if we make him uncomfortable we can go," Clawhauser said with a sad face.
"Don't worry, you don't have to. As soon as he gets used to his presence he will open up more to you two. That's how he has always been, he even he was with me when we met 22 years ago" said Rouge.
"Well, there's still hope for that," Clawhauser said, cheering up a bit.
Once they finished their breakfast and the hotel workers took the plates and glasses (while the Mobius inhabitants were hiding once more) they all went to take a shower. Since the room had two bathrooms, so it didn't take them long to get ready. Although the one that took a while was Rouge, since first she had to bathe her daughter Jewel, which took a while, and that is because the baby bat despite her age had already learned to fly so her mother always had to catch her before you can bathe her. When Jewel was ready, Rouge gave it to Shadow to take care of the baby while she bathed herself. It didn't take long this time.
Once they were ready, Bogo took the phone from him and began dialing Judy's phone number. He could have called Nick, but he was sure he wouldn't answer it this early in the morning. After waiting a few seconds Judy finally answered from the other side.
"Good morning Officer Hopps," said the Cape Buffalo.
"Oh, good morning Chief Bogo, or I mean good night taking into account the time deference" said the rabbit over the phone.
"Not. You were correct with good morning, since I'm not in Zootopia at the moment".
"Really. Did you also take a vacation? I thought you were married to work," he heard Nick say in the background.
"Good to talk to you, too, Officer Wilde."
There was only a small laugh from Nick in the background.
"And then to what do we owe your call?" asked the rabbit.
"Well, I wanted to talk to you four, since we are in Japan as well."
"Are you here in Japan? Since when? Why? And what do you mean by "we"?
"It's a long story, and I'm not going to tell it over the phone, so how about meeting us at the hotel where we are staying?".
"Okay, where is that hotel?"
Bogo gave the exact address, and after a few seconds without an answer, Judy finally spoke.
"Jack just told me that he is not far from where we are staying, we will get there in half an hour."
"Okay, we wait for you" said the buffalo closing the call and putting his phone away.
After that he began to look out the window to see a panoramic view of the city. Everything was quiet, as if what happened the weekend had never happened. But he supposed that the townspeople were scared even if they didn't show it. A part of him wondered how things would have been if the attack had happened in Zootopia, obviously his job would have been to defend its inhabitants from danger, but it was a different thing to arrest criminals for theft or things like that, but it was another thing to face a mastermind like Dr. Eggman who could destroy an entire city if he wanted to.
I did not want to imagine the concerns that the government of that country could be going through, taking into account that apart from the fact that they had to keep the population calm, they had to find a way to create devices that could detect another possible attack, they would have to create safety bunkers for the population. He was even sure that although in the first attack there were no victims, if there could be many in subsequent attacks, there could even be homeless people, orphaned children, people with psychological disorders and many more things that he did not want to imagine and much less want. pass, since Eggman would not be content only to conquer Japan, but would go all over the world as Shadow and Rouge told him.
Clawhauser approached Bogo, as he could sense the concerns of his boyfriend, so he gave him a hug to calm him down and relax him. Bogo reciprocated and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend. If it weren't for the fact that there were more people there, he would have kissed him too at that time. Although that could save it for later when no one was around them, and he was willing to wait for that moment. They finally broke away from the embrace and held hands as they watched the city through the windows.
Shadow and Rouge watched the couple, the bat tenderly looked at the relationship, it was adorable for her to see a same-sex couple who were happy together and who were not ashamed to show their relationship in front of them. Shadow on his side looked at the couple without interest, it was not that he had something against homosexuals or anything like that, just that he was not used to seeing something like that, since before Bogo and Clawhauser he had never met a couple gay in his life.
Rutan and Silver had no problem with that either since at university (in Rutan's case) and at school (in Silver's case) they had met boys and girls with different sexualities, so they were respectful of that. And on the other hand little Jewel was just a baby, and she had a lot of understanding regarding that, so she didn't have a problem with that at her young age. So it could be said that neither of Shadow and Rouge's children had problems with the love relationship between Bogo and Clawhauser either.
While they waited for Judy to arrive with the other Rutan, Silver and Jewel watched some television for entertainment. They put on a cartoon that was an act for the age of her their little baby sister. They found a perfect one for the black bat, although not of much interest for the red echidna or the silver hedgehog. But since they cared a lot for her, they kept her company with her since she liked to spend a lot of time with her two older brothers. The only thing that sometimes worried her older brothers worried about her was the fact that she could fly and they feared that she would get hurt in one of her flights.
On the other hand Bogo, Clawhauser, Shadow and Rouge were sitting nearby. The two police officers told the two residents of Mobius about the other people who came to meet them, and assured them that they were trustworthy people and that they would not say anything about you, they would not reveal their identities or where they were found at that time. So they wouldn't have to worry about them, and if they had a problem they could also trust them.
During that period, about half an hour passed until the door finally rang a couple of times, they realized that they had already arrived, so Bogo went to meet them. When he opened the door there were Nick, Judy, Jack, Finnick, Nicole and Jerry. Seeing the Cape Buffalo, the two children let go of his mother's hands and approached him.
"Uncle Bogo!" said the gray vixen and the gray rabbit.
Like Finnick, Nicole and Jerry saw Bogo as an honorary uncle since they met him. Although Bogo had known them since they were babies, the children's first memory was when they first went to the police station a year before, when it was the day to take the children to work. Nick and Judy took them, Jack accompanied them since that day he did not have a mission that he had to solve as a secret agent. Both children had a lot of fun that day and Bogo had gifted them with police hats designating them as junior officers. With children he displayed a softer personality similar to what he had with Clawhauser, though for different reasons.
"Hello little ones, I'm glad to see that you are both doing well. Have been good?" said the Cape Buffalo carrying the two children.
"Of course I do" replied the gray vixen.
"Making the world a better place" replied the gray rabbit.
They both gave a military salute.
"I'm glad to hear that," said Bogo and then put the children on the ground.
"Well Chief Bogo, I think he has some questions to answer for us," Judy said.
"Of course, please come in," said the Cape Buffalo.
Once everyone had entered and the door was closed the newcomers were surprised to see Clawhauser there and with them other people who looked a lot like Sonic and his friends.
Well, so far the chapter. In the next one, will pick up right where this chapter left off.
