Godspeed launched himself towards Barry, shattering the sound barrier with a thunderous roar. The ZPD could only watch helplessly as he was tackled out of the building in storm of yellow and white lightning. Barry was vaguely aware of someone calling his name. A doppelganger, why hadn't he seen it coming? Just because he couldn't find doubles of his friends didn't mean that there were none of his enemies. But of anyone he could have encountered, from Goldface, Mirror Master, Top, Icicle, Acid Master, Zoom, and even the Reverse Flash, it just had to Godspeed. As he struggled to fend off super speeded blows from the enhanced mammal, Barry's mind ran faster than he did. His version of Godspeed used a similar drug called Velocity 9, or V9, to enhance his natural speed, and he had seen it give powers to a normal human as well. However, like any drug, an overdose could leave lasting damage, and even kill the user. If this Godspeed was given the V9 by Sawbones, then he might not be aware of the side effects. The two screeched to a halt in the city's main square, mammals all around them scattered in panic.

"'You have to listen to me," said Barry, as he tried to reason with August.

"That drug you have, I've seen it before. It's
called V9, it's dangerous. I don't know what you've been told, but it's going to kill you!"

Godspeed responded by sprinting towards Barry and knocking him to the floor with a high speed punch.

"I don't care!" he growled.

He reached for Barry's throat, but the speedster dashed behind Godspeed.

"Why?" he asked. "Why don't you care?"

Godspeed slowly turned to face him.

"I was a cripple Flash, born with deformed legs. Do you know what that's like for a Cheetah?!"

He sprinted at Barry once again, but the metahuman had already started to move and they met in a high speed storm.

Yellow and White lighting spat and arced all across the square in a hurricane of power before Barry was tossed unceremoniously into a wall, Godspeed's claws around his throat.

"Running is part of who we are as mammals; a cheetah that can't run may as well be dead. My own family disowned me and I was left to rot in a flawed care system. Then I was found by Sawbones, he rebuilt me, gave me my power, and I repaid him by training to be the ultimate killing machine.'

He lifted one of his arms, making a fist with his paw as it began to vibrate.

"He did more that fix my legs Flash; he made me a force of nature!"

He went to run Barry through, but the metahuman managed to phase out of his grip with a similar trick, leaving Zoom to punch a hole in the wall. Withdrawing his fist in a cloud of masonry, the cheetah turned to glare at The Flash.

"If it kills me, so what? I never had anything to lose, and I am more now than I ever will be. I will make the streets of this city run red with blood until my name is etched into its very soul!"

"Listen, it's not you talking right now, it's the V9," implored Barry. "Stop this now before someone gets hurt."

Godspeed's laugh was like the rattle of bones.

"The only one getting hurt right now Flash, is you!"
With that, he charged at Barry once more, and the two speedsters rocketed out of the city centre.

While The Flash and Godspeed battled across the streets of Zootopia, the ZPD were in serious trouble.
As soon as the two speedsters had left, the remaining
enhanced mammals quickly closed with the SWAT officers. The Rhino, Brick, had charged the line of shields and knocked them aside like ninepins, while the swarm of rats followed in his wake, engulfing the exposed officers in a mass of needle like teeth and claws.

Bogo leapt back as the steel clawed wolverine lunged at him. Drawing his truncheon, the buffalo deflected a follow up attack; however when he went to exploit the opening, the predator not only blocked his attack, but neatly sliced his club into three pieces. As Bogo was forced on to the defensive, Nick and Judy fought against the scarred wolf. As the predator swiped his own claws at Judy, Nick blocked the blow with his own truncheon, allowing his partner to launch herself off his shoulders and land a solid blow to the side of the lupines head.

Staggering back, the wolf growled angrily at them. Then it howled.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The ZPD mammals dropped to their knees as the shriek pierced their eardrums, Bogo barely had time to avoid another slash from his opponent as the ringing threatened to overwhelm his senses. The Wolverine continued on, unfazed by the attack, but the rat swarm writhed uncontrollably as its cohesion fell apart. However it was Judy that was having the worst of it. At close range and with her sensitive hearing, it felt like someone was driving hot needles through her eardrums. She fell to the floor in agony, as Nick, also on the verge of collapse, desperately hurled his club at the wolf. The weapon struck the predator in the throat with a meaty thud, the lupine gagging as his howl was immediately silenced. Staggering back, the predator clutched at his
throat, moments before Nick tazed him into unconsciousness.

"You alright Fluff?" he asked.

"I think so," replied Judy, shaking her head in an effort to clear it.

"Can you hear a ringing?" She asked.

Nicks reply was cut off as his partner roughly pulled him to one side moments before Brick came barrelling past them and through several shelving units. At the end of his run, the Rhino, unfazed by the obstacles, simply turned to face the police mammals and charged at them once more.

Nicks reply was cut off as his partner roughly pulled him to one side moments before Brick came barrelling past them and through several shelving units. At the end of his run, the Rhino, unfazed by the obstacles, simply turned to face the police mammals and charged at them once more. Leaping clear with her partner, Judy pulled out her tazer and hit the rhino in one of his massive legs as he crashed through a concrete wall. However, her yell of triumph was cut short when Brick pulled himself out of the rubble, and casually pulled the metal barbs out of his leg. She prepared to run as the Rhino lined himself up for another charge.

"Open Fire!"

The voice of Officer Mchorn echoed throughout the room as the other ZPD teams stormed the battle, tranquilizer darts aimed squarely at the oversized Rhino. As they rained down on his thickened skin, Agent Perry dropped from the ceiling light he had been clinging to, and landed right on the mammals face. As Brick tried to shake him off, the ZIA
agent drove his species poison spurs into the enhanced mammals nose, hoping that the flesh might be soft enough for a result. Brick continued to fight, regardless of the drugs in his system, if anything they had inadvertently made him more
dangerous, as he know careened over the battlefield like a runaway freight train. Judy managed to pull Nick into a side room and out of the titanic mammal's path as it crashed through shelves, walls and trampled the still disorientated rat swarm. However, even a mammal like Brick couldn't
stave off the level of chemicals that now coursed through his system, and Agent Perry threw himself clear as the rhino he collapsed to the floor with a resounding crash.

"Sweet Cheese and Crackers!" exclaimed Judy as she
surveyed the carnage.

"You said it Fluff," replied Nick as he watched the rhino finally go down. "Do we even have a cell big enough for him?"

"Would it even hold him if we did?"

"Good point."

"Okay, so that's the rats, rhino and wolf," said Judy, ticking off the mammals on her paw. "That leaves the wolverine-"

There was an ear splitting crack, and the two mammals looked out to see Bogo standing over the unconscious wolverine, his SWAT shield shattered in two.

"Okay, so that just leaves the panther."

"About that, have you seen her since the fighting started?" asked Nick.

"..no I haven't," said Judy. "And I have the feeling we
won't like it when we do."

Lightning struck all over Zootopia as Godspeed and The Flash battled for supremacy. To the mammals that bore witness it was like a living thunderstorm had been unleashed on the city, electricity spat and arced between the two speedsters as they fought through each of the metropolises' unique environments.

In Tundra Town, Godspeed tried to drown Barry by shattering one of the frozen lakes with a bolt of electricity, but The Flash managed to keep his footing and pursued the evil speedster across the icy water and straight into Sahara Square. The two of them ran out into the districts more open regions, and sprinted around one another, stirring up a
sandstorm as they did. As they battled it grew in intensity, until the sand was so thick that observers could only make out flashes of lighting wherever the two speedsters traded blows. Inside the whirling vortex, both Barry and Godspeed could barely make
out one another as they fought, so, when presented with an opportunity, Godspeed tackled his opponent clear of the storm before taking off towards the Rainforest District. With The Flash in hot pursuit, Godspeed ran straight into the higher levels of the jungle canopy, weaving between the walkways as he looked to trip Barry by using the districts almost constant rainfall to his advantage. However, The
Flash knew what he was getting into and managed to not only keep his footing, but built enough momentum to punch Godspeed with the force of a freight train. Flying backwards, the dazed cheetah flew off the walkway and tumbled towards the ground. Fortunately, several large leaves slowed his descent and as a result he was able to recover and generate a cushion of air by rapidly rotating his arms. As Godspeed landed, Barry was already there to grab him by the scruff of his neck.

"That drug won't last forever Godspeed!"

"It doesn't have to Flash," replied the dark speedster.

"It just has to last long enough." He said.

Barry hesitated, a pit forming in his stomach.

"What did you do?"

Godspeed began to laugh, a deep guttural laugh.

"Sawbones wanted to send a message, one that the whole city could see."

He looked The Flash dead in the eyes, and Barry felt his stomach drop.

"So he gave me a few throwaway mammals and enough explosive to level a city block, all I had to do was keep you away while Shimmer finished the setup."

The cheetah began to laugh once more.

"Tick tock Flash."

With an angry snarl, Barry released Godspeed and took off back towards the warehouse, praying that it wasn't too late.

__________________________________

While the ZPD rounded up the defeated henchmammals, Nick and Judy began to sweep the warehouse for signs of the missing panther. Taking it in turns to cover each other, they meticulously moved through the outlying rooms one by one, passing between shelves that were stacked high
with beakers and bottles of various coloured chemicals. Eventually, Judy's sensitive hearing, having recovered from the wolf's howl, picked up a noise, and the pair moved in on its source.

Bags of powdered chemicals had been stacked amongst the shelves, and setting an explosive was the panther from before, her form shifting in and out of sight as she knelt by the device. Silently sneaking up on the predator, Judy signalled for Nick to flank the feline while she set up a shot with her tranquilizer sidearm. However, the panther disappeared before either of them could take a shot.
Sharing a look of silent panic, the two officers regrouped.

"Any idea where she went?" whispered Nick.

"None," replied Judy. "Cover me while I go for the bomb."

Moving towards the explosive, Judy had a half second to react as a claw materialised from thin air to take a swipe at her. As she leapt backwards, Nick fired a shot from his own tranquilizer, only for the dismembered appendage to vanish like smoke as the dart sailed harmlessly through it.

Judy recovered quickly and made another dash for the explosive, only for the panther to materialise right in front of her and lunge towards the rabbit with a snarl. Leaping sideways, she kicked out with her powerful legs, but the feline vanished once more, and her attack missed. The pattern repeated a few more times, as Judy or Nick would advance on the bomb, the panther would appear and drive them back. Standing back to back, the two mammals struggled to remain calm.

"Any ideas Carrots?" Nick asked.

"I'm open to suggestions slick!" Judy said.

As the pair scanned the room, Judy's hearing pricked up again.

"Nick," she whispered. "When I say so, turn around and shoot directly at me."

"What, are you nuts?"

"Trust me on this Nick," she replied. "Please."

The fox looked back at his partner, determination set in her lavender eyes.

"Alright fluff," he replied. "Tell me when."

The two returned to scanning the room for a target, only this time Judy's ears were wide open. As Nick readied his tranquilizer, the pair prepared themselves for what might happen Judy heard a click from right in front of her.

"Now!"

Nick spun around and pulled the trigger, just as Judy ducked straight down. The dart flew right between her ears and embedded itself right between the lunging predator's eyes. As soon as the tranquiliser took effect, the panther's momentum caused it to fly over the Judy and right past Nick where it crashed on the facility floor.

"Nice shot," said Judy.

"Didn't know I had it in me," replied Nick, sheepishly.

With the threat dealt with, both mammals ran over to the bomb, intending to disarm it. Only they found that its timer had been set, and was counting down from ten seconds.

The mammals felt their spirits fall, there was no way they could disarm it in time. They took one last look at each other, wishing there was time say what was needed.

"Nick."

"Judy."

Judy hugged her partner, and abruptly then shoved him back behind one of the shelves, some part of her hoping that he would survive the coming blast. As the bomb detonated, the explosion threw the rabbit back into one of the other units, chemicals cascading down onto her body.

Barry burst onto the scene in a thunderclap, racing towards the stricken bunny and her partner. From his perspective it was like the explosion was occurring in slow motion, the fireball expanding slowly outwards behind the shockwave. If he didn't act quickly, it would consume everything in a matter of seconds. He grabbed Judy first and then circled back for Nick, taking the pair outside before racing back in. Dropping the panther outside with the ZPD, he noted that several of the larger mammals were still inside the building trying to move the unconscious form of Brick. Realizing they were going to be too heavy for him to move, The Flash ran back towards the detonating bomb. The fireball had already engulfed the chemicals that had been stacked around the explosive, and if it spread to the rest of the room then the building would go up in smoke. Duplicating his trick from the burning apartment, Barry ran around the fireball as fast as he could, creating a swirling vortex as he pulled the oxygen away from the flames. Even at supersonic speed he wasn't confident it would work. But,
thankfully, the explosion responded to the sudden lack of oxygen by snuffing out like a candle.
Without waiting, Barry ran back outside, where Nick was cradling an injured Judy Hopps. The flames had burned away the fur on her exposed paws and part of her face, thankfully her uniform had protected
her from the worst of the damage, but it was a charred mess, and the flesh beneath it was undoubtedly burned as well. The rabbit was unconscious, a large bruise forming on her skull.
Nick pleadingly looked up at the speedster.

"Please, save her. Zootopia General is in the city centre, I won't make it in time, but you can." He said.

With a nod, Barry took the bunny in his arms, and
disappeared in a flash of lightning.
