HELLO ALL, LONG TIME NO SEE!
sorry if I deleted my other story, but I just recently made another, more interesting than the previous. I know a lot of you liked it, but I wanted to see if any of you here would like this better compared to the people on Ao3 when I posted it over there back in the beginning of September (they loved it). I am pretty sure you guys will call this garbage. but on behalf, I also dont believe so.
note: I used some other stories for inspiration. this chapter is the first two chapters I posted over on Ao3 with some edits.
enjoy!
Chapter 1: waking up was a mistake
"The pain I felt in my chest was probably what led to all of this, considering I was in a deep sleep, I didn't think something in my body was attacking me so I could die in my sleep. But now..."
…
Alex Solis wheezed and coughed in his bed, eventually gasping for air. He bolted upright in bed as he did so. With a snap of his head, he took in the beheld sight of his room. Although with the dimming light of the sunrise peeking through the window, it did look like his…
"Was I having an asthma attack in my sleep?" He muttered.
He was breathing heavily and was covered in sweat. The moment he just woke up was not the norm he wanted to wake up from. Alex's night routines never gave room for anything problematic, but maybe last night was different...
"NAN!" Alex shouted for his grandmother, but no response came back.
He took one last glance around the room, to make sure he was actually in his actual room instead of another dream. Wait, hold on! Isn't his Slipknot poster looking to be in the wrong place? That doesn't belong on his closet door, it goes right next to his bed where it should be.
Still groggy from the terror-induced awakening with little pain in his head, Alex reaches for his glasses from his bedside table as he steps out of bed.
"Hmmm, that's odd," Alex thought to himself as he felt the texture of a rug under his feet. Alex waved out a hand to reach for the wall, feeling for the light switch to illuminate the room. But his hand only encountered a plain white wall. Alex began to panic again, he groped at the wall to find the switch. Finally, he found the switch, but not before he would trip over a simple sneaker laying around.
Alex carefully switched the lights on, before turning around to survey his room, to find out that IT WAS NOT HIS ROOM. But then how was his Slipknot poster on the closet door? And how is his floor still a mess with all of his clothes? He slowly crept over to his dresser and opened it to find his clothes were still in it. He checked to see if his phone was still charging at what was his desk, and for sure it was.
What was happening? Questioned Alex, as he felt his heart rate increase and continued to spot out the small differences surrounding him. For sure, he is not in his household. He knew he was somewhere else. He could hear voices arguing through his wall. This had to be one of those dreams where he was still in a dream, but it seemed like reality. The thought of that calmed him.
His stomach growled. He wanted breakfast. But his head was also battling over the question of where he was. So, he stepped over to the window and ripped open the curtains. Daylight flooded through the window as he stared through the glass.
"Woah!" Alex thought
the city that lay before him was much like many cities he had seen before, but bigger. There were spiraled buildings that reached the sky out in the distance. Their glassy fronts almost reminded him of New York City. But some had abstract shapes which reminded him of seeing buildings from Shanghai in books and videos. And nestled between these skyscrapers, well, from Alex's window view, seemed to be cafes and shops; proudly announcing themselves with signs and slogans. And far away, were what looked to be the monolithic structures of London.
And yet, this information outside the window didn't give Alex a clue to where he was. But one thing caught his eye; there were no people, or in simple terms, humans. He looked at his reflection through the window, he was still human. But outside... there were only mammals, anthropomorphic mammals.
"Alright enough fucking around, I'm hungry!" Alex said to himself
Alex took a slight and swift turn to his dresser, quickly getting dressed. He carefully chose out his clothes; his favorite vintage Metallica Master of Puppets t-shirt, a pair of cargo pants, and a pair of vans sneakers. He snatched his phone off his desk along with his earbuds and bolted out the door just to begin realizing...
a corridor? Wait, he is in an apartment building? Alex let out a long and heavy sigh, he realized the shape of the hallway. But he still hadn't given up the thoughts of eating a good classic bowl of Lucky charms for breakfast. But the corridor Alex walked into appeared to be filled with other apartments. He slowly and silently walked down the hallway, 5 or so doors, just until he reached what looked to be a stairwell. Alex's room seemed to be near the staircase.
Alex started to pace his way down the stairs, when the sudden thought hit his head,
"Why am I here? Where is my family?"
His Family! He had very little of a family, but they meant a lot to him. His cat was more than just a cat, it was his one and only true friend, besides his brother. His grandmother was his caretaker, and his school, SCHOOL! School was about to start in half a month! He was entering eleventh grade at that.
"Noo" Alex slumped down on the wall near the stairwell, nearly shedding a tear. He couldn't give up on his future life, he was going into the field of graphic design! What now? He is stuck in a world full of fucking Anthro Mammals, and thoughts of mass human extinction entered his mind.
But that wasn't until he had the thought...
"Man up, your fucking 16, learn to live your life in this new world. You don't need the support of your grandmother all the time. Go tackle your dreams!"
He felt a lot better after that thought raced through his mind. Maybe he doesn't need family, maybe he just needs himself for a while. he is a free individual. But first... food!
With that, Alex turned purposefully towards the stairs. But when Alex turned to travel through another corridor, he bumped into something. It was a... Lion? The fuck?
"What do you think you are doing, you... thing?" the lion grunted whilst putting the keys to his door back in the pocket of his pants.
"Uhm..." Alex stood to his feet and backed away a few steps before turning to an exit.
Swinging open the Heavy, gray exit door, he finds himself in an alleyway. He was stricken by the fact that the Lion actually said something to him. Things are starting to add up. A talking Anthro Mammal, a huge city, but what else is there to add up? Alex caught the smell of what seemed to be... Hot dogs. Alex looked down around him before leaving the alley; the high walls of tall buildings surrounded him on three sides. Yet, the smell of hot dogs was still fresh on his nose. He quickly left the Alley, following his nose to the streets beyond.
The smell of hot dogs got stronger as he ventured further into the streets. Mammals of all types and sizes surrounded him – creating a river of flowing bodies. Alex continued to stroll along the streets, before he would sight out his targeted location: a red, white, and yellow striped hot dog stand stood in the sidewalk pavement before him. A grey furred wolf stood next to the cart, wearing a blue and white striped apron over his clothes. "Hotdogs, Hotdogs! Get your meat free hotdogs here!"
The next thing to add up in Alex's mind was that these Anthro mammals do not eat meat. But what about him? He is an average human, he eats meat, he loves his steak and pork chops! Sometimes even Chicken! Oh, wait, never forget the Kentucky fried breaded chicken!
So, you got Anthro mammals who don't eat meat and also talk, and a huge city? What is this, a Disney movie? Alex thought to himself.
Then the realization Struck him, these animals don't eat meat because they're both predator and prey living together. Well, that explains it.
Alex slowly approached the wolf, standing a foot taller than the mammal.
"Uh, hello?" The wolf started slightly, before looking over at the tall human that stood before him. The wolf had no clue whatsoever what he was facing. "Yes, how... can I help you?"
Alex took in a deep sigh, and although the wolf seemed to be friendly (and was way shorter and much smaller than him), he could already feel a sense of distrust in his voice.
"Can I have one plain hot dog please?"
"What would you like?" the wolf scowled, before raising a paw and pointing at a chalkboard menu.
"I know, and I asked for a plain Hot Dog, do you not serve Hot dogs without condiments? I would like one of those please?" Alex said before pointing out a young Hyena eating a plain hot dog without condiments, sitting on a bench five feet away from him.
The wolf just gave a grunt in acknowledgment. Soon, the sizzling of frank added to the voices of the street. Alex waited patiently, so he went ahead and started listening to some good old Slayer reign in blood. The wolf fished the sausage out and into a bun, wrapping it a napkin before handing it to Alex. He paused his music and reached out to take the food, but the wolf stopped him.
"OHH, Money!" the wolf waved his other paw
"Wait, hold on, I think..." Alex checked his pockets for his wallet. Voila! He found his wallet and pulled out a five-dollar bill. He handed it to the wolf, but the mammal took a good hard look at it.
"What is this? Counterfeit?" The wolf snapped the slip of paper in Alex's face.
"No, it's real, its US dollars!" Alex claimed. And he was right, it was an official US five-dollar bill. So, what was wrong with it?
"Not real!" The wolf teared the dollar in half and crumpled it to pieces. That was just enough to make Alex mad on the inside. But he didn't let it show. "No money, no food. NOW GET LOST!" The wolf shouted at Alex as he placed the hot dog into on the counter and shooed him away with his paw. Alex had it, he was so fucking hungry, he needed to eat something. But he was not going to let this kind of disrespect treat him this way. Especially tearing a five-dollar bill of his grandmother's!
Alex was infuriated. He was not going to let some filthy animals treat him this way.
"Alright, you branded Fuck!" Alex grunted heavily towards the wolf, before quickly dashing over to the counter and grabbing the hot dog and dashing into the street again.
"THIEF! THIEF! HE STOLE MY HOT DOG!" the wolf shouted as he pointed his paw at Alex running down the street. "STOP HIM" Alex broke into an even faster pace to escape, around him animals moved out of his way. None tried to physically stop him, most whipped out their phones to take pictures, record, and even call the police. Was it that big of a deal? He has seen much bigger deals in his lifetime. He eventually made it to another alleyway, and yet, he's been in this city for only about forty minutes, and already.
He took one bite into the hot dog, and...
PTHEWWW!
That hot dog tasted terrible to Alex; it didn't even taste close to Italian sausage. What was it made of? Ugh, he dropped that thing on the ground, when...
The sound of sirens filled the air, they echoed through the road. Just what Alex needs. Alex glanced up at the Alleyway. They may not have seen him yet, but a car rolled into view. A 4x4 black painted car with white lettering of 'ZPD'. Wait, Alex now knows where he is just by looking at those letters. They triggered a memory, something he thought would never happen. In fact, it was impossible to happen. But he is here now. Outside, police were starting to search for a "tall and troublesome white being". But in that dingy alley, Alex headed near a trash bin, now adding up all the puzzle pieces together; anthro animals who don't eat meat and also talk, a huge city, rude and judging people, and a police force called ZPD, he slipped one word...
"Zootopia..."
…
Part 2
Alex just couldn't help feeling shocked that he was standing on the soil of Zootopian ground. He quickly turned as the police car halted to a stop, with the doors swinging open after. Revealing two animals, each of them wore a navy-blue police uniform.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" said a dark brown wolf
"Yeah, the pig across the street said that whatever it was is down here." A lion replied as both him and the wolf proceeded to slowly advance down the alley.
Alex thought to himself that if he were to live or die to two anthropomorphic animals, he would live. But he had to run somehow. Alex had little time to react, the animals were almost upon him. So, the only thing he thought that felt right was to stand up to his full height of 6 feet and raise his hands slightly to a fighting position. He had no weapons, except a secret one...
"What the?" The lion quizzed when he saw Alex, dumbfounded at what Alex was.
The human boy stood his ground, not moving except to check his surroundings. The wolf took a few steps closer to get a good look at the boy, when Alex said...
"Back Off!"
The wolf snapped out of his stupor and took a few steps back. Whatever it was, it looked exactly like how that wolf back at the hot dog stand described it. From the sound of his voice, he was a male. The wolf and Lion were shocked to see that this strange new animal could speak their own language alone, proving to be more than intelligent.
"Woah, hold it there, young mammal, take it easy..." the wolf tried to take a few steps closer to Alex. With an attempt to pull out his taser, Alex caught view of the wolf's paws grabbing the taser as he stepped closer. The boy had to act fast before he was electrocuted to death.
"Delgato, tell the ZPD we..." before the wolf could finish speaking, he felt his taser was swept out of his paws by Alex's foot. An ancient Korean Tae Kwon Do kick was used to do so. The Wolf gave Alex an eye of displeasure.
"Excuse ME?" the wolf shouted at Alex.
"I told you TO FUCKING BACK OFF!" Alex shouted back.
The wolf got into his own fighting stance. He knew how to use boxing, but that was no match for Tae Kwon Do from an extremely taller child. The wolf stared Alex down into the eyes and said,
"So, you want to fight before we arrest you, well you're gonna be arrested either way for theft"
Alex Deepened his stance, and took a deep breath in. He exhaled heavily, knowing that fighting an animal way smaller than him is not right. Wait, using his Karate in general for street fighting is not right. He knew this, but he wasn't street fighting, he was defending himself.
In the blink of an eye, the wolf charged at Alex, throwing a few punches here and there. Alex kept his ground, when the animal threw an uppercut punch, straight to Alex's chest. The boy fell straight to the ground but got back on his feet within seconds.
"You Lil' fuck!" Alex said as he brushed his clothing off.
The wolf lowered his guard for a second when Alex threw a roundhouse kick to the poor animal's head, injuring the animal minorly. He was dizzy for a few seconds, then snapped out of his stupor again, and yelled to the lion who was standing there for the past three minutes eating a donut...
"DELGATO, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND HELP OUT!"
The lion stopped chewing his donut, dropping it in the process of trying to help the wolf up to fight Alex. But Alex stopped the Lion from heading over to the wolf, jumping in the air, and kicking the Zootopian in the chest; flinging him across the alley to hit against a trash container. The wolf could barely get up to help his partner up, who just had the wind knocked out of. He had such a bad headache from being kicked in the head, he could barely process a single thought. The boy then made a run for it, straight out of the alley, and into the street. The wolf grabbed his radio off the pocket of his uniform and spoke into it.
"This is officer Wolfard, Officer Delgato is down. We could barely manage to catch the thief. I repeat, Officer Delgato is down, we could barely manage to catch the thief. We need backup, I repeat, we need backup"
…
About five hours later at Alex's "apartment"...
Fuck, I want to go home! Alex thought to himself. He could only imagine that his family was worried about him at this moment. He missed his cats at this moment. Oh, his Siamese Miss Kitty, she was such a Bratt. But he still loved her as his pet and a family member. Alex sat down at his desk and booted his PC up, about to launch Minecraft when...
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
Alex swore under his breath and sat up from his gaming chair. A voice then yelled from behind the door before Alex could even get to it.
"ZPD, OPEN UP!"
Alex's eyes widened as sweat came rushing down his forehead. His heart started beating like crazy, he knew he was in deep shit. Ughhhh, how is he going to tell them about the disrespect that wolf back at the hot dog stand treated him with? That fucking animal ripped an actual piece of United states currency in front of his eyes!
Alex slowly and silently tip toed over to the door. He pushed his head against the door to peek through the peephole, and what he saw was totally unexpected. A whole swarm of officers was surrounding his door. Alex had no choice but to grab his Japanese katana from his closet. Yes! The sword was still there. He grabbed the sword and headed to the door. Quickly and swiftly, he opened the door and pointed the weapon at the animals.
"Lower the sword sir..." a tiger asked whilst pointing a dart gun at Alex
"NO, I WONT, Now LEAVE ME ALONE!" Alex shouted, whilst raising the katana around the tiger's neck.
Alex swung his katana from officer to officer, when a familiar voice from his childhood started to push through the crowd.
"Guys, keep away, I've got this." a small grey rabbit said to the officers, before looking into the fear-filled eyes of Alex.
Is that Judy Hopps? Alex thought to himself. His eyes widened, full of fear and anger. He pointed the katana towards the rabbit's neck, but a feeling inside was telling him he shouldn't be doing that. Her violet eyes were filled with concern, made him feel more like she was trying to trick him.
"Look, whoever or whatever you are, we don't want to cause any harm or trouble for you or us alone. Just lower... whatever that thing is, and we could come up with a solution." the cute little rabbit said with her little arms held out. Well, that was enough to make Alex drop his sword.
"Okay, okay, you win..." Alex sadly couldn't finish his sentence before a little needlelike dart thing stuck through his shoulder. One of the officers accidentally pulled the trigger to their dart gun. Alex turned his head slowly and glare at the lion who shot him with the death stare.
"You Branded fuck..."
His speech was slurred, he could barely talk before he hit the floor. Passed out like a rock he was.
…
Many hours later...
"I fucking swear, if I'm still here in Zootopia, I'm gonna fucking scream like shit..."
Alex slowly opened his eyes to face a very blank white ceiling. So far so good...
He rolled over to feel he was in a bed. Not his bed, but a very basic prison bed. OH, fuck off! He thought, was it because he stole a hot dog, or was it because he assaulted two officers? He took a good look around the room, he noticed he was not in his room either. His current accommodation was of a police cell, a metal toilet, a wooden table, a bed, a sink, and a barred window with a slide to see inside. He began inspecting himself. He was surprised that he wasn't unclothed or cuffed. But wait...
"They fucking drugged me, those bastards. God I'm such a horrible person. If it weren't for the people I would hang around with. God I'm a 16-year-old with the mouth of a sailor. That lion who shot that thing at me is getting a good sidekick to the fucking head. Hehe, sidekick to the head..."
It was then the loud lock on the door moved, jolting Alex to sit up instead of slumping over. The door opened and in came three animals. The first thing that came into sight was the recognizable Judy Hopps. But the last two were also recognizable; the buffalo Chief Bogo, and of course the sly and handsome fox Nick Wilde. Chief Bogo just leaned against the wall, crossing his arms together. Alex scooted closer to the edge of the bed, in the far corner, while Judy hopped up on to the other end keeping her distance. Nick on the other hand, just sat on the table edge like most pricks in Alex's high school.
"Well, Judy Hopps, is this the part where we play good cop bad cop, or is the part where you wake me up from some fucking dream?"
Judy's eyes widened; how did this weird creature know her name? If he knew her name, then possibly he knew Nick's name or Chief Bogo's Name. Bogo and Nick exchanged glances as Alex said those very words. Nick put his bug smoothie down on the other end of the table and raised his sunglasses.
"Woah, how exactly do you... know my name?" Judy asked whilst backing off a few steps from the bed.
"Long story, I'm not going to explain." Alex said before lowering his head.
"Well, then, do you... know these two then?" Judy asked the boy as she sat back down on the bed again, before gazing at Nick.
"Yes, sadly." Alex whimpered.
Nick stared down at the ground for a second, before picking his bug smoothie up again and taking a sip. Chief Bogo rolled his eyes.
"Well, could you tell us your name?" the rabbit asked gently and calmly as she pulled out a notepad, and of course... a carrot pen.
Alex sighed heavily before saying a single word.
"My name is Alex." the human said as he felt his pockets for his phone. He was getting bored in that room fast, he wanted to listen to some Sepultura, Slayer, Linkin Park, or Korn. Either one, he needed to listen to some music badly, he couldn't take the quiet anymore.
Fuck! Alex thought. He had forgotten his phone back at the stupid apartment. He didn't have his earbuds either. That's when the fox asked him...
"Could you tell us where you're from?"
"it's complicated, but I come from a land where animals like you guys are still in their primitive state." Alex stated
Nick and Judy exchanged glances, while Chief Bogo just rolled his eyes before pulling his phone out from his pants pocket and distracting himself for the time being.
"Continue please." Judy said as she began scratching the little orange carrot pen against the paper, writing stuff down.
"I don't have time to tell the who story, but I'm technically from a different universe where this city and you three fictional."
Nick and Judy, And Chief Bogo looked at each other. A strange new animal who knows Zootopia as a fictional place, from a different universe, encounters Zootopians.
"Are you serious?" Chief Bogo sternly asked Alex.
Silence filled the room for a moment, then the human boy spoke up...
"Yes, I am."
now i know you guys are thinking, how does Alex know where he is? how did he know Nick and Judy? well you should have figured that out by now, because he is from our universe, and of course, he saw the movie back when he was a child.
anyways, how did you like it? please leave like and a review, and follow/favorite the story if you would like. also, follow/favorites on my author profile would really help. anyways, I'll see you guys next time...
