Chapter 12: Epiphany
The scene blacks out and changes to Bunnyburrow where Judy is now in her house in a pink flannel and jeans. Having tea with her parents.
"So Jude... Jude the Dude. Remember that one?" Stu said.
Then Bonnie gives Stu a look.
"How're we doing?" Stu asked.
"I'm fine" she sighed.
"You are not fine, your ears are droopy."
"Oh mom dad, I messed up pretty bad, Why did I
think I could make a difference?" Judy said.
"Because you're a trier, that's why." Bonnie said.
"You've always been a trier" Stu said.
"Oh, I tried. And I made life so much worse for so
many innocent predators." Judy said.
A van horn sounds and a van pulls up.
"Oh! Not all of them, though. Speak of the devil,
Right on time" Stu said.
The van has the words 'Gideon Grey's Real Good
Baked Stuff with Fresh Produce from Hopps'
Family Farm' and Gideon Grey, grown up, walks
out of his van.
"Is that.... Gideon Grey?" Judy asked surprised.
"Yep! Sure it is. We work with him now." Stu said.
"He's our partner, and we never would have
considered it had you not opened our minds." Bonnie said.
"That's right, I mean Gid's turned into one of the
top pastry chefs in the Tri-Burrows." Stu said.
"That's....... That's really cool, you guys." Judy said.
Gideon takes out pastries, but looks up when he
hears Judy.
"Gideon Grey. I'll be darned." Judy said.
"Hey, Judy. I'd just like to say, I'm sorry for the way I behaved in my youth, I-I-I had a lot of self-doubt and it manifested itself in the form of unchecked rage and aggression, I was a major jerk." Gideon said.
Well, I know a thing or two about being a jerk."
She smiles, Gideon takes out a tray of pies.
"Anyhow, I-I brought y'all these pies."
Stu sees three shouting bunny children running
towards a line of purple flowers.
Hey, kids! Don't you run through that Midnicampum holicithius!" Stu shouts.
One older bunny puts her arms out to stop her two other siblings.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Then the three bunny children run elsewhere.
"Well, now there's a four-dollar word, Mr. H, my
family always just called them Night howlers"m
Judy looks at Gideon stunned, "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"Oh, Gid's talking about those flowers, Judy. I use
'em to keep the bugs off the produce, but I don't
like the little ones going near 'em on account of
what happened to your Uncle Terry." Stu explained.
"Yeah, Terry ate one whole when we were kids and went completely nuts." Bonnie said.
"He bit the dickens out of your mother." Stu said.
Then Judy made a realization, "A bunny can go
savage."
"Savage? Well, that's a strong word, but it did hurt like the devil." Bonnie said.
"Well, sure it did. There's a sizable divot in your
arm. I'd call that savage!" Stu said.
"Night howlers aren't wolves, they're flowers. The
flowers are making the predators go savage. That's it! That's what I've been missing!" Judy said.
But then her face drop as he realized something.
"Oh no Nick...I got to warn him." Just said.
She runs up to the family pickup truck, Oh, keys,
dad I need the keys, I got to go guys."
Stu tosses the keys to Judy, who grabs them and
gets in the truck.
"Thank you! I love you guys, bye!"
Judy turns on the truck and drives back to
Zootopia, leaving her parents and Gideon
bewildered.
"You catch any of that, Bon?" Stu asked.
"Not one bit." Bonnie said.
"Well, that makes me feel a little bit better, I
thought she was talking in tongues or something." Stu said.
In the bad guys summer home, Wolf was still angry after one week after being betrayed by his friend......again.
He was watching the news, They see how a caribou being carried on a gurney into an ambulance while three police officers restrain a muzzled polar bear.
"A caribou is in critical condition, the victim of a
mauling by a savage polar bear, This, the 27th such attack, comes just one week after ZPD officer Judy Hopps connected the violence to traditionally predatory animals"
"Meh"
He changes the channel but every time he flips the channel he finds another news about a bizarre predator attack.
A they see a picture of a teenage bunny being taken to ambulance as police take in a savage wolf.
"Sad report as a teenage bunny was attack by his
own best friend" the never says as wolf changes the channel to where a female gazelle was crying.
A koala bear reporter was love on the scenes where in the background police were trying to restrain a savage cheetah.
"A mother gazelle morns as her daughter was
attacked by a raging cheetah."
Wolf then decided he has enough of the news so he turns off the TV. And as he sulks angrily, princess came in, holding a stuffed octopus.
"Hey Wolf are you ok?"
She noticed how upset he and the others were, he
looks down to see her paw touching his, he smiles.
"Yeah...I'm fine honey." Wolf lied.
"Your ears are down...that means your upset....what's wrong?" Princess asked.
He then gets up and tries to look his daughter in
her eyes.
"It's nothing...just Nick you know."
"Are you still angry at that fox?" Princess asked.
"Yeah baby I still am." Wolf said.
"Why are you mad at him...is it because he took
credit for you helping the case?" Princess said.
"No sweetie... I'm mad because I thought he was a
changed......you see we used to be best friends that was before he ditched us and ratted us out...How you noticed how me and Diane fight."
"Yeah...I thought you guys were being like webs
and piranha." Princess said.
"Yeah no when we first met Diane I didn't trust her because I thought all foxes were untrustworthy creatures but soon I started to trust Diane, there was reason why I didn't like foxes, like there was reason why I didn't wanted to come to Zootopia." Wolf said.
"Because you knew Nick would be here." Princess said.
"Yeah, I honest thought he would change but who
was I kidding, he's a fox, foxes never change...I
didn't know what I was thinking trusting him." Wolf said.
As he frowns, he sulks, his sadness getting to him,
princess looks at her stuffed octopus then back at
wolf. She walks up to wolf and shoves the octopus in his face, he takes it and smiles.
"Everyone deserves a second chance, even thought what they did in The past is not forgiving, a bad past is like gum, you can chew on it forever and starve yourself to death, or you can spit it out and see what is on the table." Princess said.
He looks up at her as he starts to have empathy.
"Isn't that what you and Snake used to tell me" she then cups his paw, "and I know deep down you care about Nick as much as he cares about, he might as we're be very bad and guilty for what he's done but I know he misses you guys a lot and would do anything to win you guys back." Princess said.
"Thanks baby...I needed that." Wolf said.
And as the father and daughter duo were smiling at each other.
"She's right."
Wolf turns around to see Cisco Ramon there leaning against the wall and goes to him.
"Friends fight. Believe me, Barry and I fought against each other here and there, along with the rest of the team. But in the end, we make up and work together. Not hold on to our anger. We only hurt ourselves if we do that. Holding on to angry is like holding on a hot rock, only you get burned but soon that scar will heal." Cisco explained.
"It's not that simple. We looked out for each other ever since we were little kids and then he abandoned us. His "best" friends." Wolf said in anger as he was about walk away when Cisco stopped him.
"Do you know how my brother Dante died?" Cisco asked. Wolf stopped and turned around. He didn't know the other Bad Guys were listening from the other room.
"No?" Wolf said turning to face him.
"Barry went back in time and saved his mother. It created this alternative timeline called Flashpoint. He stayed there a few months only to see things were wrong there. So he undid his change to reset the timeline back to the way it was, only to see there were changes to it. One of them was Dante. My brother died because of his action." Cisco explained.
Wolf and the others were surprised and shocked to here that. That was way worse than Nick abandoning them. Princess cried a little to hear that.
"I was mad and sad at the same time at him. I couldn't even look at Barry ever since I learned the truth. He shunned him away and stopped calling him my friend. I even didn't even talk or hang around him. Even when he asked for forgiveness, I shut him down. Until I realized what I was doing, I had to let go of my anger at him and forgive him. You guys are doing what I was doing at Barry. Wolf, please listen to me and forgive." Cisco said.
Wolf just continued to look sad and anger.
"Wolf, you're angry, I get it. Believe me l know what it's like. But you are making a big mistake." Cisco said as he was about sing a little.
🎶The path of hate is a dangerous
track
You take one step and it's hard to
turn back
It pulls you along
And though it seems wrong it
feels right🎶 (Cisco)
🎶Don't you see this path you're on
leaves a permanent mark
It feels good at first, then it slowly
turns dark🎶 (Cisco)
🎶With each passing day
You're further astray from the
light
Suddenly, you lose your way and
lose the thread🎶(Cisco)
Cisco continues to follow Wolf trying to get him to stop this anger, looking at his reflections in the mirror to understand what he is doing.
🎶Lose your cool, then lose your
head
Every loss is harder to excuse
Then you'll see you'll lose your
faith and lose your soul🎶(Cisco)
🎶'Til you lose complete control
And realize there's nothing left to
lose
Nothing left to lose🎶(Cisco)
Cisco then grabbed Wolf's hand trying to stop him.
"Wolf, trust me. Holding on this anger isn't going to fix things. You need to let it go." Cisco said.
They turned to see Nick entering the living room,
looking out of breath on his staff as the gazelle was calling him.
"Monsieur, monsieur, veuillez patienter, je ne peux pas vous laisser entrer, vous n'êtes pas autorisé ici"
"Wolf!"
But as soon as Nick looks at Wolf, his smile turns
back to a frown.
"Je suis désolé, M. Wolf, j'ai essayé de m'arrêter,
mais il est passé et m'a poussé grossièrement"
He then holds his hand up, stopping the gazelle.
"It's okay gazette, it's ok, I'll handle this." Wolf said.
He gets up, putting the octopus down and
approaching Nick ferociously.
"What of you want Nick?" he growled.
"Look I just want to apologize ok, so here me out
buddy." Nick said.
"What are you here to apologize for?"
They turn to see Snake slithering in as Princess leaves the room.
"For taking credit for our work, for ditching us for
your reputation or-" he then smiles and laughs
hysterically, "oh I know" then he growls, "how
about when you ditched us to the police, ratting us out and abandoning in jail, letting us rot in prison."
Nick then frowns as he was being talked down.
"Look I know what I did to you guys was unforgivable and you may never forgive me for that ever." Nick said.
"You got that right." they both yelled, then shark
came in.
"But listen, after everything that happened between us, I have been nothing but guilty about, I been so emotional wreck about it." Nick said.
Just then Piranha and Webs overheard as they
stepped out of their room.
"But that doesn't matter now, we're a team and I'm nothing without you guys." Nick said.
"Oh don't think that just because you're here to
apologize that doesn't mean we're going to forgive
you" webs says as she crawls on Shark's shoulders.
"I know but please guys all I'm asking is for a
second chance." Nick was begging on his knees.
"You think we're going to forgive you after what
you did?" wolf growled.
"Come on wolf it was a long time ago." Nick said.
"People don't forget." Snake hissed.
"You know Nick after everything we went
through...I thought you really have changed but I
was wrong, you haven't changed." Wolf say as he
goes face to face with Nick.
"I have changed." Nick said.
"You're still that untrustworthy backstabbing fox." Wolf said.
"Hey I now I can't change the past but I can still fix the present." Nick said.
"You can't change what you done." Wolf said.
"Geez wolf how long are you going to hold a grudge on me?" Nick asked.
"For as long as I can." Wolf said.
"WOLF! That's enough! This has to stop! For all of you!" Cisco shouts trying to end this grudge.
Then before the fight could continue on, suddenly
Princess screamed.
"OW!"
The Bad Guys made a horrifying look as they ran to see Princess outside near a squirrel, she grabbed her arm and was crying.
"OW!"
"Princess!" Wolf ran down besides her, Shark looks upset, Snake was worried and Webs and Piranha looked concerned as they surrounded her.
"What happened?" Wolf asked as he grabs her arm gently to see a large scratch.
"I was playing outside when a squirrel attacked
me." Princess said.
She points out to the squirrel that marks at them.
"Whoa!" this surprises everyone then wolf scoops
princess up and carries her inside.
"Come on, let's go heal that wound up." Wolf coos
her.
"Ok" she sniffs as she wipes off.
Inside the Bad Guys were talking about how an
innocent prey could go savage, as wolf wrapped a
bandage around her arm and kisses it. Then he leaves her as he goes in the living room, but then Princess started to feel woozy, she was trembling.
"How can a squirrel go savage?" Snake asked.
"Can a squirrel go savage?" Webs added.
"I though only predators were supposed to go
savage." Shark says.
"Is that even possible?" Piranha says, "can prey go savage?"
Then Wolf interrupted, "Look guys I don't know
what's going on or how this happened but we will
figure this out."
"Yeah" Nick cheered as he wrapped his arm around wolf shoulders.
"Together as a team again!" Nick said.
But Wolf gets annoyed as he nudged his arm off.
"Whoa whoa, ok we are not a team, in fact this is
your fault we're stuck like this in the first place." Wolf said.
"Come on Wolf...how long are you going to hang on to this?" Nick said.
"As long as I can." Wolf replied.
"Seriously Wolf, do I have to breach you guys to Earth-15 to teach you a lesson?" Cisco threatened.
(For those who don't know, Earth-15 is known for being a dead earth, a wasteland)
But then Princess felt dizzy as she grabs her head,
"dad"
"Not now princess." Wolf said.
"But Wolf." Princess said.
"Not now Princess, grownups are talking." Wolf said.
She then suddenly collapsed on the floor, they all
turned when they heard a loud thud.
"PRINCESS!" they panicked when they see Princess in the floor.
They took her to her room, laying her in her bed where the other kids were playing. Wolf and Nick stayed by her side, they wait for Snake to come with a wet towel.
Wolf was worried when he see Princess was in pain, turning her head and groaning. Nick saw how upset she was and tries to lighten the mood, he sees on her dresser was a vase of purple flowers.
"'Those are nice, where did you get the flowers" he asked Princess, she turns to him and smile.
"Thanks we don't know who they were from, they
just arrived on our door step."
Then as Snake came in, Nick gets an irritated look
from Wolf.
He placed the damped towel on her head as Nick
and Wolf get up to talk.
"What I'm just trying to make her feel better." Nick said.
"You are not allowed to talk to her or go even near
her." Wolf howled at him as Snake stands next to
him.
But as the two were arguing, something started to
change inside Princess and the kids, not only did they turned in bed but they were sweating like crazy, feeling a shaking and tingling feeling then suddenly their pupils turned black.
"Look I don't wanna do this with you Nick...not
right now." Wolf said.
"I'm just trying to help." Nick said.
"Look I just need you to leave so I can take care of
my daughter." Wolf said.
Then they heard Princess and the kids making cat noises as she fell on the floor.
"Princess?" they approached her bed cautiously but then behind the bed, they see princess underneath the covers.
"Princess" they approached her bed cautiously but then behind the bed, they see princess underneath the covers.
"Princess are you ok?" Wolf reaches out to touch her but..
As he grabs her shoulders....they snarls, they moves out of the sheets, startling the Bad Guys and as they back away.
They see as Princess and the kids moving out of the sheets.They weren't themselves.
"AAAHHH!" Wolf fell back as he saw how savage they was.
"Princess, kids, are you ok?" Wolf asked.
Then they snarls and hissed at him as she tries to
attack him with lazer vision. All of them began to use their powers against their parents.
"AH!" but Nick pulls him and Snake out of the way as they try leave the room only to be stopped by a wall of ice by Luna.
Outside, Judy was outside the mansion, pounding
on the door.
"NICK. MR. WOLF OPEN UP...NIGHT HOWLERS!" Judy screamed to then see a streak head inside.
But they couldn't hear her as they were dealing
with a savage Princess and savage kids, they was being surrounded by the bad guys, snarling, scratching pillows and couches.
"Princess, Gray, Luna, it's me...Shark" Shark tries to remind her but she swing her paw, popping her claws out, trying to scratch him, he used a chair to protect himself. They then turn to Wolf.
"Whoa whoa princess, snap out of it...it's me
daddy?" Wolf said.
She then freezes as she sniffs at him, looking calm.
"That's right......it's okay....it me...it's daddy...clam
down...we're not going to hurt you" Wolf said.
But as soon as he got close to her, he placed his
paw close to her face, she snapped and tries to bite his paw, snarling at him again.
"AH" then she pounces on him but she ends up
pouncing on Nick instead.
Bravery, the fox shows no fear and when he falls,
he rolls and kicks her in a room. Suddenly Flash and the Plague Squad came in.
"Toro, get them out of here." Flash said. Macro then flies in and grabs the Bad Guys and Nick.
"WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Wolf yells.
"Sorry guys." Macro Toro said as he holds on to them as they saw the JL heroes against their kids.
"Barril, can you blind them?" Flash asked the bear.
"No problem!" Barril said as he blasted a gust of sand at Princess and the kid's eyes. They growled and hissed in pain as they try to clean their eyes.
"Tigre! Lobo! The dampening-collars!" Flash shouts.
Tigre and Lobo both used super speed and slapped on the power-dampening collars on them, shutting off their powers. Princess and kids finally cleared their eyes as they growl at them.
"Do it Gorila!" Flash shouts. Espectro Gorila then used shadow arms to grab the savage kids and Princess to make them look at his face.
"Sorry Princess and kids... you leave me no choice." Gorilla said as his eyes glowed yellow as the kids screamed in fear as they passed out. (The video down here is what Gorila did to Princess and the kids) NIGHTMARE INFUSION
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Flash then locked the door. Snake and Wolf look at Gorila in an angry way.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" They roared at Espectro Gorila who looked sad and guilty.
"I tried to knock them out by giving them a small nightmare. It was the only way to stop them." He responded.
The bad guys hear them screaming, yowling, howling, growling, hissing but to them it sound like they was crying.
"PRINCESS, NO!" Wolf screamed as he ran to her
but was stopped by Nick and Barry.
"LET ME GO, I HAVE TO SEE THEM!" Wolf screams.
"WOLF... YOU CANNOT GO BACK IN!!" Barry said.
He struggles as Nick pushes him back and slams
him to a wall, grabbing his shoulders.
"WOLF... ITS TOO LATE... she's gone." Nick said.
Those two words had shocked him and the others,
then he felt his heart shattered as his world was
crashing down, he slide down, he was breathing
rapidly, then he feel on his knees, he started to cry slowly, the Bad Guys were in much pain as he was. He was hurting, knowing he lost his son and two daughters...forever.
"No!" He sobbed softly.
