Chapter Text
In the past few months, Zootopia has healed from the effects from former mayor Bellwether’s conspiracy against predators. Nick Wilde’s friend, Flash, was elected mayor shortly after her arrest.
After a few weeks of their first mission, Nick Wilde has moved into a room next to Judy’s in the Grand Pangolin Arms. They have been having movie nights every Friday ever since they moved in, and today was no different. Nick puts on the classic movie channel, and the musical The Weasel of Oz begins to play. But during the black and white Bunnyburrow scene, a newsflash interrupted the broadcast.
“Hey! They were going to play the best part!” Judy says.
A news reporter is on the television, “Breaking news, former mayor Bellwether has escaped her jail cell. No one knows how she escaped or where she went, so please keep a watch out for her.”
Nick looks at Judy, “Hey Carrots, I think we got another big case on our hands.”
“Yeah, I guess we do,” Judy says.
-A few weeks later-
Judy and Nick arrive at the ZPD, ready to work more on finding the whereabouts of Bellwether. As they enter the fairly empty police station, Clawhauser greets them while eating a jelly donut.
“Good morning!” Clawhauser says.
“Morning!” Judy and Nick say to Clawhauser as they go off to meet up with their fellow police officers.
As they sit at a table around other police officers, Chief Bogo gives out files for each officer. Nick and Judy get theirs last.
“Wilde, you’ll track down a car thief. And Hopps, you’ll investigate a murder that took place inside of a donut shop,” Chief Bogo says as he gives Judy and Nick two different files.
“But Chief Bogo, what about me and Nick working together on tracking down Bellwether?” Judy asks.
“You two aren’t doing that today, now go solve that murder Hopps,” Chief Bogo says.
As Judy goes out of the ZPD and towards her and Nick’s police car, Nick Wilde gets an idea.
“Carrots, what if we work on both of these cases together?” Nick suggests.
“I would say yes to that, but we might get fired,” Judy says.
“Who cares! Y’know, we are partners, so it makes sense for us to work together on two cases,” Nick says, “and besides, your murder mystery one sounds way better than mine.”
“Alright, let’s do mine first, but we can’t tell Bogo,” Judy says as both her and Nick enter their police car and drive towards the donut shop. The donut shop is on a very quiet part of Sahara Squara, and the lights in the donut shop are out.
Judy enters first while holding a flashlight, looking around the murder scene.
“I’m not seeing any sign of a murder…” Judy says.
“Let’s keep looking,” Nick says.
As they go further into the empty donut shop, someone shoots a dart at Nick but
misses.
Nick looks at the dart and says, “Tranquiliser dart… who is here?”
Judy looks around the shop as her nose twitches in fear. She sees someone in the vents, and they shoot a tranquiliser dart at Judy but Judy dodges it.
“We are not alone! Take cover!”
Judy and Nick hide behind a counter as the shooter and a few more bad guys enter from the vents.
Judy peeks around and looks at them. They are all sheep wearing clothes that cover their faces.
“They are sheep,” Judy whispers, “do you think they have any connection to Bellwether?”
“Carrots, just because a bad guy is a sheep doesn’t mean they relate to another bad guy that is a sheep,” Nick says.
The sheep notice Nick and Judy’s whispering, and they walk towards them.
“Alright, let’s take these guys down and bring them to justice,” Judy says.
Suddenly Judy and Nick jump up onto the counter and start fighting the sheep and dodging their attacks. She kicks one of them and knocks off their helmet, and underneath is Bellwether’s face.
“Nick! I found Bellwether!” Judy says.
“Me too,” Nick says, pointing to a sheep that he knocked out who also had Bellwether’s face.
“Wait… they are all Bellwether?” Judy asks, with a confused look on her face. “How can they all be Bellwether? Bellwether is only one person.”
With Judy and Nick distracted, someone from behind shoots them with a tranquiliser dart.
—
Judy wakes up in a cage in a lab next to Nick. She looks around the lab. There is fancy equipment that looks like it takes someone into a machine, and next to the machine are outfits that look like the ones from the donut shop, and two outfits that look identical to Judy and Nick’s police uniforms. The machine makes a bunch of noise, and a door opens up and walks out Bellwether. Bellwether puts on one of the donut shop outfits and leaves the room.
“Nick, wake up,” Judy whispers.
Nick rubs his eyes, “What happened?”
“I don’t know, but I think we found Bellwether’s hiding place, she just left a few seconds ago,” Judy says.
“Ow!” Nick says.
“What?”
“My arm, it hurts,” Nick says as he looks at a band-aid on his arm.
Judy looks at her arm, she has a band-aid too.
The machine makes noise yet again.
“Nick, look at that machine, Bellwether is going to come out,” Judy says.
The doors of the machine open, but someone who looks exactly like Judy walks out and puts on a police uniform, and leaves. Another mammal walks out of the machine, but this time it’s someone who looks like Nick Wilde, who follows the same actions as the bunny.
“...What? This place doesn’t make sense,” Judy says.
“Carrots, look at the cages around us,” Nick says.
The other cages in the room have officers from the ZPD in them, and also Chief Bogo and Flash.
A door opens up, and Bellwether walks in.
“Hi there Judy, long time no see, how has it been?” Bellwether says.
“Where are we, Bellwether,” Judy says.
“You are in the cloning lab, where the future of Zootopia as a city for prey will begin,” Bellwether says.
“Wow, you haven’t dropped that whole hating predators thing, have you?” Nick says.
“No, I haven’t. And now with an army of clones, I will execute Order 67 and have my army chase out all the predators in the city, and no one will stop me because I now control the mayor and the police,” Bellwether explains. “Now, I have to get some planning done before the big event this evening, bye Judy.” She leaves the room, leaving Judy and Nick all alone with no way out.
Someone jumps out of a vent and breaks open Judy and Nick’s cage. This mammal is a grey rabbit wearing a black suit.
“Oh gee, thanks for saving us! What’s your name?” Judy asks.
“Savage, Jack Savage,” the rabbit responds, “now quick, we don’t have much time. Follow me.”
Jack kicks the door open, and they run down a hallway.
“So, what’s the plan?” Judy asks.
“You two are going to trick Bellwether into going into the interdimensional portal room, where I will kick Bellwether into a random dimension where she will not escape from. After that, we will all escape and blow up this building. This is the laboratory of James Waterhold, we have been trying to put an end to his evil creations for years,” Jack explains.
“Wait… what about all the other people held captive in the cloning room?” Judy asks.
“My colleagues are going to rescue them, they will be free when we are done with Bellwether,” Jack says, “now, I will wait for you two in this room, you go down the hall and get Bellwether to follow you in this room.” Jack enters a door, and Judy and Nick continue down the hallway.
Nick and Judy come across Bellwether in the hallway.
“Hey you!” Nick calls out.
Bellwether looks towards Nick and Judy, “How did you two escape?”
“Why would we tell?” Nick replies.
“Ugh, looks like I’ll have to put you back in your cage,” Bellwether says as she loads up a tranquiliser gun.
Judy and Nick start running up the hall as Bellwether chases them. They wait until she is close to the door to the interdimensional portal room, and when she is about to catch Judy and Nick they enter the room and walk down a narrow floor with a portal underneath. If the two police officers make a wrong move, they could end up in a different world.
“Ha, you think you can run, but you are now out of luck,” Bellwether points the tranquiliser gun at Nick and Judy, “nothing you can do can stop me.”
Jack immediately kicks Bellwether into the portal.
“Now she is someone else’s problem. Let’s get out of here!”
They follow Jack out of the laboratory, and later join some other spies and the rest of the ZPD and mayor Flash around a bunch of helicopters. Everyone gets into different helicopters, and as they are all flying to safety the laboratory explodes in the distance.
–Later that night–
After their rather interesting day, Nick and Judy are now resting on their couch in front of the TV.
Nick looks at the calendar and says, “Hey Carrots, it’s Friday night, y’know what that means?”
Judy smiles and replies, “Movie night.”
Nick turns on the TV and goes on Deerflix, where they watch the Adam Catler film Cluck together.
