"Hey Alister," a voice sounded, "You ready for that ECON midterm?"

"Absolutely not!"

That is me, Alister Otterton, a depressed 20-something otter attending a tiny-ass college all the way out in Podunk. There is basically nothing to do here but get drunk and fap. I've been struggling in all of my classes, and that shitty-ass economy class was no exception.

"So," my roommate, Jeff Slaptail said, "I'm not ready either. I'm just gonna play some Minecraft"

"I see what you're getting at," I said.

I put on my headphones and started listening to some angry extreme metal tunes as I attempted to study. I just could not focus on anything. Absolutely nothing made sense. I did not believe that this was my destiny.

"Well," Jeff said, "I'm about to go to sleep. Rest up before the test."

"Alright," I said sadly.

I climbed into my bed and closed my eyes.

Fireballs raged through a blackened sky as screams of death penetrated through the land.

"Muah ha ha ha!" an evil laughter sounded, "you filthy peasants are no master for the epic sorcerer Sheepulon!"

A robed skeleton figure loomed over the land, larger than life.

"Not today!" A familiar voice shouted.

I looked over and saw another Otter come up. He looked very familiar, and wore a suit of golden armor and carried an epic sword, "You can't match the power of Sixcalibur!"

"Vulpestris on this!" a fox warrior descended to stand side by side with the armored mustelid. She had wings on top of her head. "You won't stand before the queen of the Laser Amazons!"

"Skawnk is right here!" another voice shouted. A skunk berserker burst onto the scene, quite muscular for his species, "Come taste some of our power!"

First, the otter looked at me.

"Alister Otterton," said the other otter (how did he know my name), "also known as Alister McFluff, or in this day and age, Alister McSix! You are needed in the mighty citadel of Zootopia!"

"We have a new evil to fight!" Vulpestris said.

"Use your singing power!"

"But," I responded, "I can't sing!"

"Yes you can," responded Skawnk.

"Do it," Vulpestris said, "as we charge into battle."

"Okay," I said, "here goes."

"LET'S CHARGE!" said the lead otter, as he charged into battle. As we were about to fight this evil wizard, I began to open my vocal chords.

I woke up with a start, still in my college dorm. All my muscles were aching. It was just a dream, now I had to go back to reality.
But was it…

Suddenly, I had new memories in my mind. What was I doing at this dinky-ass college campus? I was the one who fronted the biggest band in the world, I lead an attack against an army of evil sorcerers, I commanded the Battle of Savanna Central, I was "the one", I was the one who saved the whole world from evil. Why was this all coming back to me now?

"JEFF! JEFF!" I shouted. My Beaver roommate was still awake.

"What is it Alister," he replied.

"I JUST REMEMBERED!" I excitedly shouted.

"What," said Jeff.

"I am the one. I am the hero of the world. I was the singer for the biggest bnd in the world. I saved the entire universe from evil wizards. I am Alister Otterton!"

"Oh you're just tripping," Jeff said, "go back to bed."

"No seriously," I said, I decided to start singing.

"Tonight, a battle will be fight! Good vs Evil, Chaos vs Justice, on the lands of the great city. Make war, let them know who the fuck you are! Tonight the battlefield is raging with power and might, it's time to FIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT, THE BATTLE OF SAVANNA CENTRAL!"

Jeff was standing there, awestruck.

"Holy fucking shit!" Jeff said, "you are the one you said you were. Fucking Pels Raseri, biggest band on earth. You commanded the battle of Savanna Central. How did I not remember this?!"

"I have no idea," I responded, "but I need to get back to Zootopia right at this instant. Please tell the prof that I can't do the test today."

"On it!" Jeff said.

I quickly packed all the materials I needed and high-tailed out of my dingy college dorm. I ran quickly towards the tiny train station this town had.

"Ah," I said to myself, "Zootopia Express leaving quite soon, better buy that ticket."

I went to the ticket machine and purchased a pass for the train. Soon, I hopped on.

"ZOOTOPIA HERE I COME!" I shouted excitedly.

I put on my headphones and played Beast In Black's "Cry Out For A Hero" on loop until the bullet train arrived in the bustling metropolis. Here was where I normally lived with my uncle Emmitt Otterton and my aunt Ashkii Ottetton, as well as my two younger cousins. Recently, I remembered that they moved to Tundratown from the Rainforest District. I raced to the metro and took it to their stop.
Soon, I saw a familiar snow-covered house. I immediately knocked on the door.

"Alister," my aunt, Ashkii, said as she opened it, "what are you doing back here?"

"I just remembered!" I Shouted, "I am the one! I led the battle of Savanna Central and saved the universe from evil!"

"Alister," Emitt said as he walked up, "I think you might have some issues, may I recommend…"

I then started singing the chorus to the Battle of Savanna Central.

"Oh my hell!" Ashkii said, "you were the one! You sang for Pels Raseri. You had the magical voice. You commanded that epic battle. You were the one."

"We were descendents of the McFluffs," Emmitt said, "how did we not remember?"

"I have no idea," I responded.

"Come inside," Ashkii said, "you need it."

I walked inside the house. There I could see all the furniture. Corey, my 14-year-old cousin, was playing a violent video game while listening to Ermine Callboy. He was also wearing a Twilight Fox shirt he got from a recent show in the city. Piper, my 11-year old cousin, was rummaging through a box of chocolates, careful not to stain her Badger Omens shirt.

"Alister Otterton!" Corey said, "look at you! You came back! You are the one!"

"Fuckin' ripper!" Piper said.

"Indeed," I responded, "I'm fucking back!"

"How did I not remember?" Corey said.

"I don;t know," I responded, "it seems like something happened that all of that was erased from history. Last night, I had a dream where I was fighting alongside a group of warriors. One of them looked exactly like Angus McFluff, except he was wearing gold armor and carrying a sword. We were fighting against an evil wizard."

"And then,"

"I woke up," I said, "and everything started to come back to me. I remembered all of this and immediately knew I had to return here."

"Oh yeah."

"I remember," I said, "Angus McFluff was the guardian ofd the city, and then he was kicked out and it all kinda went to shit. My band immediately went on hiatus."

"Well," Ashkii said, "I remember that too, but speaking of bands, have you heard of DethBrush?"

"Oh yeah I might have," I responded.

"They're pretty up and coming," Emmitt said, "but I'm their booking agent."

"And I'm their manager," Ashkii replied.

"Congrats!" I said.

"Well, I'm thinking," Ashkii said, "you could try to find your old band members and see if they can get back together."

"And DethBrush can open for you!"

"That sounds amazing!" I said, "time for some recruiting'!"
