Welcome to the next installment of Zootopia: Devil Watch (Yes, I have changed the name). The reason it took so long was because I lost my interest in the story temporarily. I don't know if its gonna happen again.

“Well, well, well, isn’t this an interesting development,” a canine wearing a cloak covering most of his face. He was standing on the roof of a nearby shop, gazing down at the scene before him. Both the wolf and the tailless mammal were put in an ambulance and driven to the hospital.The police officers were still around the wrecked cruiser. All officers except the fox and bunny, they left with the tailless one.

    “Maybe I won’t have get involved, after all. I’m certainly glad you put up that barrier, Kevin.”

    “Your welcome, by the way. Do you even know how difficult it was to create a city-wide barrier that prevents demons from leaving the town.”

    “And I really appreciate it. Its interesting, though, don’t you think? A member of the Umbran Clan that hunts demons.”

    “Every flock has a black sheep.”

    “If that’s the case, who do you think is the black sheep of our family?”

    “Haven’t given it much thought, but I’d say Jeff if anyone.”

    “What do you think I should do?”

    “That’s your call. Demons of Hell are your jurisdiction.”

    “I can’t believe all that happened while we were at lunch,” Carrots said.

    “And to think, all that happened so close to where we were eating,” I said with a laugh.

    After being yelled at by Chief Bogo, asking where the hell we were while this was happening. Apparently, while we were on lunch, an electronic store exploded, an entire city block was set on fire, many mammals were injured by a monster described as a giant fire-breathing spider, and they all have one thing in common: The furless mammal. All it happened within two miles of us and we didn’t see or hear anything until he landed on our cruiser. No idea why.

    Chief Bogo sent us to the hospital with the Jon Doe. Since our car was totaled, we had to ride in the ambulance. It was really awkward. I rode in back, while Carrots rode in the front. I found it odd how someone could fall off a fifty story building, land on a car that is built to be bulletproof, completely total said car, and look so very unharmed.

    He looked . . . peaceful. I could see signs of having a rough life on his body. Faded scars and new bruises. His shirt was in tatters when he was put in the ambulance, the emergency response team cut it off shortly after we started moving. He had scars covering his torso, gruesome scars as if the one who made them were trying to rip him apart. The oddest thing on his torso was what appeared to be a brand of an outline of a savage wolf howling and behind the

outline, there was a white full moon. Looking at it gave me an odd feeling.     When we arrived at Zootopia General Hospital, they took the Jon Doe straight to the Emergency Room and kicked me into the waiting area. I received dirty looks from several prey animals as I walked through the hospital halls.  

    My eyes drifted to the TV. It was on some news channel, but that’s not what caught my attention. What caught my attention was the video that they were playing. It showed a giant spider thing terrorizing a portion of the city. I said ‘thing’ because it literally burnt through buildings, called what looked like lava from the ground, and its body looked to be made of stone.

    Earlier today, this creature was seen terrorizing the city. Any, and all attempts to fight against it were met with tragedy, One of the news mammals said, while we don’t know the exact amount of deaths, specialists have determined that it is in fact in the hundreds, if not thousands. Ruin and Rampage followed this creature until an unidentified mammal fought against it. This fight led to the creature’s demise. A picture of the Jon Doe flashed on the screen, and I jumped to attention in the seat. This mammal has proven to be strong, certainly, however, the question on many mammal’s minds is whether he’s a threat to the citizens of Zootopia or not.

    Yeah right, I thought to myself, the actual question is whether he is a predator or prey.

    “Nick!” I heard a certain bunny call my name, “There you are, I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”

    I shrugged, “I’ve been here,” I gestured to the TV, “turns out our Jon Doe killed a giant demonic spider before he landed on our cruiser.” If only I knew that that statement was completely true.

    “Don’t be ridiculous. Everyone knows that demons aren’t real,” she said with a shake of her head.

I was about to retort. It was on the tip of my tongue, but then my phone rang.

“Wilde,” I answered.

“Wilde, I want you and your partner to come down here right away. The doctor that operated on our Jon Doe has some information he’d like to share with us.”

“Well, Chief Bungalow, why don’t you tell me where you are so we can arrive quicker.”

“Just get to the ER now, Wilde!”

    “Sir, yes, sir!” I saluted as I ended the call.

“You know, one of these days he might fire you,” Judy said to me.

“Never gonna happen.”

“And why not?”

“Because, it’s a game we play. If he fires me, I win, and he knows that.”

She laughed at that, “Well, I take it that the dinner is off?”

I checked the time, “It’s only slightly past five. We’ve got time.”

“Well, we better get to Bogo. You know how he gets if he’s left waiting for long.”

***

When we got there, Bogo wasn’t happy. Not that that’s saying much, he’s never happy. Especially when I’m in the room, no idea why. The was a stag doctor was standing next to the chief. He looked just as irritated as Bogo, which is saying something.

“So glad you two could make it,” Bogo growled.

“We tried to get here as soon as possible,” I began with a smirk, “but traffic was hell.” He glared at me in response.

“Now that you’re all here,” the doctor said impatiently, “ Allow me to tell you about the mammal you brought in.”

“What about him,” Judy asked, “He’s a him, right?”

“Yes, the mammal is a male.”

“So what’s the problem?” I asked.

“Where do I begin? First, we do know what species he is.”

“What species is he then?” Bogo asked.

“That’s the problem. As you know archaeologists have been uncovering remains of a civilization long since past.”

What does that have to do with -” I began.

“I’m getting to that!” the doctor said sternly, “Any and all animal remains recovered were from animals that weren’t evolved, however, there was one species that were similar to us in skeletal structure. The archaeologists have referred to them as humans. When he first arrived we tested his blood. It matches up to the human genetic structure about ninety percent.”

“Okay, so is he human, then?” Carrots asked.

“That’s where it gets . . . strange,” he paused a little bit before he finished that sentence, “His DNA matches the DNA of a human about ninety percent, so we are sure he was ninety percent human at the time. Eight of the other ten percent, we couldn’t identify.”

“What do mean by ‘was ninety percent’, Doctor?”

“That’s the strange part. Every five minutes or so, we tested a different sample of his blood. The part we can’t identify remained the same, but the other two changed.”

“What do you mean?” I asked breaking the stunned silence that followed the doctor’s words.

He rubbed his eyes, “The second time we analyzed his blood, it came back eighty-seven percent human, eight percent unidentifiable, and five percent something else.”

“Are you telling us,” Bogo began, “That this mammal’s species is changing into another one? That’s impossible.”

“That’s what I thought when I noticed that, but science doesn’t lie. He’s been here for about an hour and the last time we tested his blood was about ten minutes ago.”

“So, what were the results of that test?” Judy asked.

“Eight percent unidentifiable, twenty percent human, and seventy-two percent other.”

“What is he turning into then?” I asked since no one else seemed to be interested in asking.

“The majority of his DNA now matches the genetic structure of a wolf.”

No one really had anything to say to that. We all knew one thing: Whoever this guy was, he was the definition of impossible. I felt sorry for him. If he ends up with the form of a wolf, he would have to wear a TAME collar and I wouldn’t wish that on any of my enemies, and I do have quite a few of enemies.

“Anything else you can tell us about him?” I asked still processing the information I just heard.

“He has an emblem on his chest. It looks like a tattoo, but it isn’t like any tattoo I’ve ever seen. It’s an image of an outline of a feral wolf howling in front of a large white moon.”

“What’s so strange about that?” Bogo asked.

“It can’t be cut. We’ve tried various instruments we have at our disposal, but the specific place is impenetrable. His regular flesh, however, isn’t. I can’t tell you why that is any more than what created the emblem in the first place.”

“Anything else?” Judy asked.

“Yes, actually, and just as equally impossible. When he first arrived we took an x-ray to assess the extent of his damages,” He held an x-ray up to a backlight, “As you can see he was in bad shape.”

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped at what I saw. Nearly every bone in his body was broken in some way. Whether it was fractured, a complete break or just plain crushed. The extent of the damage was terrible, but in hindsight, it wasn’t that much of a surprise. This mammal, whoever he is, fell from the roof of a building over forty stories, landed on a police cruiser (that was supposed to be bulletproof), completely totaled said cruiser, somehow got up and out of the wreckage, and fell to the sidewalk unconscious. What was unbelievable is that he survived.

“How did he survive that?” Bogo asked.

“I don’t know. No one should have been able to, especially a mammal with so few advantages that other mammals possess,” He held up another X-ray, “ this x-ray was taken about twenty minutes ago.”

This time, the x-ray showed something quite different, but just as shocking, “Do you really expect me to believe that this is from the same mammal. There’s no way that this is from the same mammal. Nothing can heal that quickly.”

Most of bones on that x-ray were completely intact. In fact, the didn’t even look like they were ever broken in the first place. The bones that were broken only had minor breaks in them.

“It is from the mammal, like I said, something like this shouldn’t have happened and yet happen it did. Science doesn’t lie chief.” the doctor said.

“Well, can we talk to him soon?” Judy asked.

The doctor shook his head, “I’m afraid that would be quite impossible. Due to the extent of the trauma his body has suffered I thought it best to put him in a temporary drug-induced coma. He won’t awaken for quite some time.”

“How long ago did you put him under?” I asked.

“Twenty minutes after he arrived.”

“And when do you expect him to wake up?” Bogo asked.

“At the very least, I’d say eight hours. At least that’s how long a rhino of average size would stay unconscious if given the same dosage.”

“Don’t you think that’s a bit excessive? I mean, what if you’ve managed to overdose him?”

The doctor’s muzzle opened to say something, but before he could actually say it, there was a knock at the door. A small rabbit with white fur and black spots opened the door.

The doctor was obviously annoyed at the interruption, “Bandit! What is so important that you have to interrupt this meeting with these officers! You’d best have a good excuse this time!” the doctor crossed his arms.

“Sir, the uh patient, the human one . . .”

“Yes, what about him?”

“He’s awake.”

A/N:

Couldn't think of a name for the doctor so I just kept calling him doctor. I have an idea for next chapter. Its gonna be from Rufus's point of view and you will finally get told how the demons fall into categories and ranks. Until next time!
