As I walked onto the metro train, I was glad I knew the way back by heart, so I didn't have to rely on zoogle maps. The train ride, however, was quite abuzz with people talking about the attack.
"Wait," a Possum said whilst trundling past, "were you at the site of the attack?"
"Uhhh, yes I was," I responded.
"So what the hell even happened there?" she asked.
"So there apparently is the work of an evil archdemon, who sent these so called 'fireflies of doom' wirth massive horns, massive bodies, and powerful stings, and then this group of heroes came down from the sky, killed all the fireflies, and saved the day… for now."
"That is some weird-ass shit right there," the possum said, "and I thought that alien invasion a few years ago was extreme."
"Yes, but this isn't my first rodeo."
"Wait," the marsupial said, "do I know you?"
"You might," I responded. I was about to do my magical singing powers, but decided not to, "You'll probably see soon enough, if this Sheepulon dude attacks again."
The possum looked at me bewildered, and trundled into the next car of the train. I kept recalling the events that had just taken place in front of my eyes. I had never seen anything like those Fireflies of doom, and I was still trying to process the arrival of Angus McSix, Vulpestris, and Skawnk. And now I remember both the wizard battles and the alien invasion. This whole multiple timelines thing is confusing.
As I reached my stop, I disembarked, sprinted up the escalator, and found my house, where I got out my key to unlock the door.
"So," I heard Ashkii said, "you were there to witness it!"
"I mean," as I closed the door behind me, "I was totally not expecting it, but I've seen much worse."
"Well," Emmitt responded, "something else is going on this time. Let's just hope that was the end of it."
"I don't think it is," I responded.
"Well why not."
"So…"
I began to provide the detailed story that Angus McSix and his gang of heroes gave about the sword, Sheepulon, and the whole shitshow about the timelines.
"What the hell is going on here?" Corey asked, "Angus is back, under a new name?"
"And it's a different Angus from the one we last saw? And differentfrom the one in the terrorvortex realm?"
"Yes that is the case apparently," I said, "and apparently my going to college in Podunk with no Pels Raseri was because that was a whole other timeline, and so were the aliens, and now the timelines are converging."
"That is some wacky stuff right there," Emmitt said, "but glad you made it okay."
I soon heard a knock on the door.
"Okay who is it now?"
I opened it to find Revi and Duke standing in the doorway.
"So," Revi said as she and Duke came into the house, "there are a few things we need to talk about."
"I mean," Ashkii said, "Alister did give us the rundown on what happened, and the whole explanation."
"I mean," Duke said, "Angus then told us, after Alister had left, that there could be more attacks coming. It is only a possibility though."
"That means it could happen," I said, "anyways we better be ready for it."
"Yeah but who knows."
"It could happen," Revi said, "Angus said that he's afraid that Sheepulon won't stop until he controls the world."
"And that would mean," Duke then said, "the complete annihilation of our city, the destruction of our lives."
"And apparently," Revi said, "if he is not stopped, one or more of the timelines will be erased."
"Oh yeah, Angus did explain, after you had left, that he would either erase one of the timelines, or both of the timelines that are combining. The whole combination of timelines is inevitable."
"Just remember to keep in touch at all times," Ashkii then said, "and if anything seems fishy, remember that you all have each other. You and your band that is also a battle team against evil invasions."
"Don't worry," I responded, "I am ready to kick ass and save the world, not like I haven't done it before."
"Us too," Revi said, "all of our powers, and we will help to maintain justice and prevent evil, especially with these new heroes by our side."
"Well," Corey said, "he can't be worse than Zargothrax, or Aires."
"Possibly," I responded, remembering the battles against the evil wizards.
"Oh yeah, and wait, is this alternate timeline Angus still related?"
"Well," Duke then responded, "according to him, your clan is still of his blood. Just McSix blood this time."
"Just hope the Heroes of Dundee, wherever they may be right now, can accept these new heroes into their team."
"Yeah," Duke said, "after the whole thing, it felt like they disappeared."
"Yeah probably all the backlash against kicking the old Angus out," Revi responded, "people stopped liking them after that happened."
"We might never know," I said, "but they might come back."
"Hopefully its them that returns and not Sheepulon and his army."
We all nodded in agreement.
"Well," Duke said, "Revi and I better get going. It's gotten late. By the way, if we're not being invaded, band practice tomorrow?"
"Yes," I responded, "at Nesblud studios?"
"Indeed," Revi said, "Guess I will see you then."
The two headed out the door, paw in paw. Duke had told me he was in love with both Revi and Finnick, and that being polygamous was natural for himself, being a weasel and all.
"So," I said, "today was quite an interesting day. We met the guys from Dethbrush in the restaurant, at the table next to us, not expecting them to be eating there too. Apparently Sam Smallclaw used to work there."
"Oh yeah," Ashkii said, "as the one who works with her band, she told me she did used to work there."
"Hopefully you guys can-"
Suddenly, there was a brief, noisy shaking.
"What the hell was that?" I asked, Paranoid Sheepulon might be attacking once more.
"Probably just a tremor," Emmitt said, "remember, after all, we are close to a fault line in Zootopia. That's why all the buildings are earthquake-proofed to the max."
"I hope so," I said, "worried it could be another attack."
"Maybe it's time to get some sleep," Emmitt said, "it's almost 1 am."
"Oh shit it is," I said, checking my phone, "Guess I will."
I hurried upstairs and got into my sleeping shorts. I gripped my pillow tight as I dozed off, nervous that the archdemon would be back too soon.
