Zulu exited his office and went his way to the main control room.
He walked passed several soldiers of his army. Some are frightened of his presence, some are respectful, and some are avoiding eye contact.
It was years since his first decleration of war towards humans, after the little incident he experienced when he was still 15 years old.
As he was about to take a turn in a hallway, he hear voices around the corner of the turn.
"What a loser! He lost to a pitty human!" A male voice stated as Zulu eavesdropped the conversation. A young female voice replied...
"Human's aren't that pitty as they look. Remember the story of Zuel?"
"That? Pfft- The human that raised Zulu?"
"Yeah! Thanks to him, he gave us the technology needed to defend ourselves..."
"Right... After he went haywire and declared war to his own kind. That proves that humans are-"
As the male voice was about to finish, Zulu went out of hiding and immediately stood face to face to the 'trash talker', who is a gray lynx standing next to a female leopard, both wearing cadet uniform.
"Chie- Chief Marshal! SIR!" The lynx shouted followed by a salute.
"Cadet, I heard everything." Zulu blankly stated back as the lynx gulped.
"I- I'm sorry!" He sheeply replied.
"What are your names, cadets?" Zulu rubbed his chin as he asked.
"M- my name is-" The lynx stuttered as he was interrupted...
"Fah! Just forget it." Zulu exclaimed as he walked passed the two and muttured... "Kids these days..."
As the gray lynx sighed and leaned towards the wall.
"Look what just happened! Peter, you should stop being an asshole all the time!" The female leopard stated.
"Haven't you forget, Keyla? It's 'Kilo' not 'Peter'. Besides, humans are just another word for assholes." Kilo stated.
"What are you trying to say?" Keyla questioned.
"Humans are hungry for power, knowledge, and advancements." Kilo exclaimed as he rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply.
"For me, Humans just wants leadership." Keyla stated.
Kilo was left in deep thought, as the two walked to the opposite way where Zulu went.
Leaving Kilo question the real reason behind the war in the first place, as Keyla thinking about what lies beyond the future.
As Zulu paced his way to the control room and encountered another turn, he was greeted by a familiar face...
It was a female red fox who is actually his assistant, sipping a styrophome cup of coffee.
"Oh god fucking dammit-" He whispered as he avoided eye contact at the other red fox.
"Hello, Zulio~" The female fox stated in a flattering manner.
"What do you want, Val?" He groaned as he looked at the smirking female fox.
"You know... I just wanted-" Val stopped as Zulu closed her muzzle and replied...
"I have work to do, you have yours. Good day." As he walked pass Val.
"Okay Zulu, just listen for a second!" Val pleaded as Zulu continued walking.
"Z- Zulu!" Val shouted as she ran next to him and grabbed one of his arm, causing Zulu to stop as he looked at Val.
"Val, is it about me?" Zulu blankly stated as Val slowly nodded.
Zulu groaned and replied...
"I don't have any interests in you, Val. I never liked you-"
"It's not that, Zulu. You have to stop being against humans. The Zulu I know never hurts anyone." Val protested as Zulu sighed and answered...
"Humans are just like Zuel... Err... The Human Zuel. They seek power, always..."
"Your father helped all of us to became an advanced-" Val shouted as Zulu bursts out...
"ZUEL WAS NEVER MY FATHER. HE WAS JUST MY GUARDIAN, NOTHING MORE! DON'T BLAME THE INCIDENT ON ME!"
Val sobbed, wiped her tears away and shouted...
"I'm not even blaming you, Zulu!"
"YOU ARE, I CAN SENSE IT!"
"Stop being a total asshole!"
"VAL, YOU FUCKING BITCH! STOP BEING A HOE AND GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY!"
"JUST STOP, ZULU!"
Val hugged Zulu to prevent him to get away from her.
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" Zulu shouted as he pushed Val hard into the wall. Val's coffee spilled, and the impact causing Val's breathing to become stiff.
Val was left sobbing and grasping for air, as Zulu realised what he had done. Val's asthma was much to be a problem at this point.
"V- Val!" He exclaimed as he carried her and dashed to the nearest clinic.
Zulu crash opened the clinic door as a male red panda in a medic uniform behind the desk popped up.
"Sir!" He shouted followed by a salute.
"Bayley, Val is having the worst case of-"
"Asthma, I can tell. Quick, give her my hot coffee. Val, I want you to sit up straight and take long, deep breaths." Bayley stated as Zulu placed he in a chair in a sitting position.
Zulu grabbed Bayley's coffee and offered it to Val.
As she drank the whole cup, her breathing became normal overtime.
"Sir, what caused this?" Bayley stated.
"Um, I went overboard and pushed her."
"You should control your temper, sir."
"I am!" Zulu stated in a frustrating way.
Bayley wasn't convinced and stated...
"Val will be here for an hour or so because of you. I need to make sure that she doesn't get another asthma attack."
"Sorry." Zulu stated.
"Now go to the control room." Bayley stated as Zulu became shocked...
"How do you know?"
"I don't know." Bayley stated as he signaled Val to a room.
"Zulu, don't be an asshole." Bayley stated before he entered one of the clinic rooms.
"Pssh... I ain't." Zulu whispered as he walked out of the clinic area and went back to where left.
After walking passed the spilled coffee and taking few turns, he finally encounters the front door of the control room.
He readies himself as doors opened and eyes where on him.
Silence was upon the control ship, some pilots are avoiding eye contact at all times.
Zulu ignored it as he walked where the head pilot is sitting, which is a black rabbit wearing L'incognito Shades.
"Captain Cleoh." Zulu greeted as he walked behind the seat of the pilot.
"Zulu, I located where your brother is." Cleoh blankly stated.
"Celestial Coordinates?" Zulu questioned the rabbit as he looked over a screen at a panel near him.
"We are facing it right now." The rabbit replied as he points at a small dot at the windshield of the ship.
"Can we take a look at what's going on?" Zulu stated.
"I can send 2 soldiers to retrieve Zuel."
"Don't. I promised him freedom, and that is what he gets..."
"Okay, I'm gonna send 1 soldier to spy on him. Incase anything goes wrong."
"He said he is with... friends..."
"You mean with those 'humans'? Nu -uh!" Cleoh protested as he takes of his shades and looked at Zulu.
"Zulu, your brother is special to me. He is my best friend, and it's my job to make sure everyone is safe wherever they are." Cleoh stated as he hanged his shades at his collar.
"I asked Specter to give me one of his most elite power holders." Zulu spoke.
"Specter? The bird who has powers?" Cleoh questioned followed by Zulu's nod.
"Zulu, I don't trust that guy. He looks fishy..." Cleoh said while looking over a holographic screen next to him.
"Why? Because of his powers?"
"No. That guy is too calm... TOO calm..."
"He helped our empire defeat The Unity Federation District."
"You mean those stick figure looking ass guys?"
"Yes, and indeed they look like shit. They have no eyes but yet they can see, no ears but they can hear, and no hands yet they can grab unto things."
"It is truly weird." Cleoh stated as he wore his shades again
"Are you still going to send in an elite to spy on Zuel?" Zulu asked.
"Sure, but what about that power holder?" Cleoh stated as he looked over the windshield.
"That is for another reason. Just deal with that and I'm just rest for a bit." Zulu stated as he took a 180 degree turn and walked out of the control room.
"Pshh... Lazy ass." Cleoh stated.
Zulu sighed as he exited.
As soon as Zulu walked out of the room, Cleoh sighed and stood up from his seat.
"This is harder than I though." Cleoh whispered as turned and looked over a panel with a mic and a button
He walked over the panel and pressed the button while tapping the mic with his finger, as sounds from loud speakers was heard around the ship.
"Captain Cleoh. Officer Fonz, Report to Control Room 1A." Echoed the Loud Speakers as Cleoh released the button and sighed again...
"This is gonna be a long shift..."
BACK IN ZOOTOPIA...
Just after Judy and Nick lossed both of their consciousness, Alan scoffed as he stated...
"I was told that hurts."
Jewel was left awe after Alan's change of attitude.
"Kid, help me tie them up. Will ya'?" Jewel requested.
"My knotting skills is rusty." Alan sighed.
"You will get the hang of it." Jewel stated.
"What's going on here?" A voice was heard as the two looked behind them. It was Kyler who clearly missed out on all the action.
"Cops, Fighting, Unconscious." Alan exaggerated.
"A Fox and a rabbit?" Kyler stated as he kneeled down at the body of the gray bunny.
"Isn't it obvious?" Jewel chuckled followed by Alan's. Kyler sighed as he stood up and stated...
"Zuel is looking after Lia right now. We should better dispose them or something."
"How about interrogation?" Jewel suggested.
"Let's talk about this after we tie them up, okay?" Alan interrupted as asked kyler to help tie the two unto a tree.
As Kyler and Alan dragged the cops and used vines as ropes, Jewel rubbed her chin and thought...
"Maybe there is a civilization around here..."
She walked towards Kyler as he noticed.
"What's up?
"I have something to tell you."
"Slow down, we just met and you already have feelings for me-"
Jewel threw a punch unto Kyler's shoulder, flustered
"Ow..."
"That's not what I meant jackass!" Jewel protested.
"Then what DO you meant?" Kyler questioned.
"These two animals are definately civilized, since they are dressed like some sort of police officers."
"You got a point. Alan told me that I would interrogate. Not that he is bad at interrogation, he got a 89/100 in a interrogation test back at training."
"Pretty shocking that Alan has skills for a kid his age."
Jewel stated as the two looked at Alan continuously ties knots and securing the vines.
"Yeah, kids these days..."
Kyler smiled as he left Jewel and headed inside the ship, leaving her and Alan outside.
Jewel was left no choice but to talk with Alan to relief boredum.
Just as Jewel was about to say a word, Alan spoke up as he looked at her.
"We should despose them."
"Why?"
"They seem to be armed, including a tranquilizer gun and a dart containing some Ketamine, Xylazine, and Acepromazine."
"Look who's been studying science lately." Jewel grinned as she continued...
"Carfentanil is obviously dangerous."
As Alan rubbed his chin in thought, he heard a groan next to him.
The red fox was gaining conciousness, as Alan signaled Jewel to call Kyler as Alan stayed to watch over the two tied police officers.
Alan quickly sighed as he pulls out his tazer.
