Jacob delivered Blake's photo album to the ZPD and now it's in safe paws. We're going to take a look at the things happening at Onyx Technologies. The head of the complex, Zack, is sitting on his personal chair in the war room nervously. He just can't stop thinking about his best friend Blake. He has a very bad feeling about something...
Zack: Where is he? He has been gone for far too long! It's been an hour already!
Onyx Officer: Sir, I suggest you to deploy a team to locate that friend of yours.
Zack: Now that I think about it, I've given him a tracker device which we can activate to pinpoint his current location. Let's just hope he didn't lose it.
Onyx Officer: Would you like me to initiate the tracking process?
Zack: Yes, and fast! He might be in danger! He was supposed to be back already!
Onyx Officer: Yes, sir!
The officer was just about to activate the tracking device given to Blake when the large computer screen starts flickering and it switches to a live feed of a hi-tech drone from an unknown location. Zack immediately recognizes the surroundings. There's what it looks like to be a huge throne room with sumptuous decorations. The drone is slowly getting close to an imposing throne with another peculiar mammal sitting in it. We can already tell that Zack is not the only mammal in existence with unique looks. There's a female hybrid mammal sitting on the throne with purple fur and blue markings. She doesn't look pleased at all with her most elite subject's performance...
Zack: Neyla? Let me assure you that the weapon is ready to be used. In fact, I was about to initiate Operation Thunderbolt without any further delays.
Neyla: I can't believe you still haven't really accomplished anything since your very creation, Wolfward.
Zack: Excuse me? Without my substantial leadership, dedication and supervision, Onyx Technologies and all the advanced weaponry would have never existed. Not even the Doomimator therefore your dreams would NEVER come true. I am one step away from fulfilling my promise. The city will be ours today! I swear it!
Neyla: No, you're one step from fulfilling your PURPOSE! I do have to say however, your actions truly helped my empire to rise from the ashes but I am very displeased with your overall performance. We created you to carry out this operation swiftly, without any deferments. This is all because of one mammal you think is important for you.
Zack: Do NOT bring up Blake again. That will only make me less determined to accomplish my mission.
Neyla: You can't abandon your purpose otherwise I won't hesitate to put you out of service. You know what that means right?
Zack: Yeah....
Neyla: I know you have dreams as well. Dreams that I can take from you and neutralize you for your deficiency in your performance. How ignoble that would be. I am giving you one last chance to be who you are truly supposed to be. I want you to initiate Operation Thunderbolt after this broadcast ends. It's either them, or you. Wanna be my right hand man? Then do what you must!
Zack: Yes, Empress Odynhood. I've built an elite army consisting of clones. Zootopia's end will come sooner than you can imagine.
Neyla: Go on and try to impress me with your own creations. And beware, you'll be fighting a tenacious enemy. The ones who brought great suffering and damnation upon my people and my father. That place was supposed to be OUR KINGDOM! Not theirs. We will regain the city and colonize it and thus the Gryphonians shall rise once again! And please, make sure that vaccine is well protected. I'll send a team of Gryphon units to pick it up and deliver it to me after the city will no longer be under our enemy's control.
Zack: Don't worry, the vaccine is in a highly guarded place in our complex. It is ready to be handed over to your forces.
Neyla: Perfect. Once my father is resurrected with that vaccine, our empire will be ultimately restored to its prime state just like it was years ago until those freaks triumphed over our empire by pure luck!
Zack: You can thank me for making this possible.
Neyla: I will thank you after you've taken over Zootopia. We will be unstoppable with our unparalleled forces and nobody will EVER dare to oppose us. What happens next is completely up to you. You either take over Zootopia by the next couple of hours, or I will nuke that dishonorable animal kingdom along with you upon retrieving the vaccine. Contact me once you've taken over the city and do not make me wait any longer or I will clean that mess up myself and then you can say goodbye to your dreams!
She grabs her blaster and shoots the drone, ending the broadcast in a rough way.
Zack: So much for gratitude...
Onyx Officer: Sir, the connection with the Odynhood Empire has been lost.
Zack: Good. Now we can fully focus on the operation. But first, activate Blake's tracker device. We can't unleash our bio weapon while Blake is out there....somewhere.
Onyx Officer: Understood. Activating tracker device now.
The map of Zootopia shows up again on the huge monitor with a red blinking dot which indicates Blake's current whereabouts.
Zack: Gotcha! Wait...there's no way he went back to the Golden Fang Clan! Impossible! Unless....he got captured. Keep monitoring the complex and the city. I am about to execute Operation Thunderbolt at once. No more delays, no more issues.
Zack starts speaking via the PA system and calls his executives whom he sends directly to one of the briefing rooms.
- The briefing room -
Minutes later, Brutus and Professor Gyzmoo, two of the executives of Onyx Technologies, are seen sitting next to the large table with a hologram in the middle. There's only one executive missing, it's Regina, where could she be? Zack enters the room hurriedly.
Professor Gyzmoo: Coming in with such excitement I see...
Brutus: There you are! We've been waiting for you!
Zack: We can't lose more time! I just had a nice chatter with Neyla. She is rapidly losing her patience and she threatened to destroy Zootopia along with Onyx Technologies and we can't let that happen.
Professor Gyzmoo: See? I told you, procrastination makes things much worse. Time to get working! I would never live a happy life anymore if we lost all of our irreplaceable research.
Zack: And I would lose my very own mind! I didn't spend 10 years of my life running this research here with you only to be destroyed in the end. This is a key to my dream's fulfillment.
Brutus: Where's Regina? We should wait for her. Let's be respectful towards her and wait for her arrival.
Zack: She won't come. We don't need her. She would only try to stop us from reaching our goal.
Brutus: Right....so what's happening?
Zack: We're going to execute Operation Thunderbolt.
Brutus: It's about damn time...
Zack: Professor Gyzmoo, what's the current status of the Doominator?
Professor Gyzmoo: It's all set and ready to conquer Zootopia.
Zack: Wonderful...
A moment later, one of the officers calls Zack via a speaker....
Onyx Officer: Sir, you're needed in the lobby....and it's urgent, you won't believe who's here.
Zack: Please for the love of god tell me it's Blake!
Onyx Officer: I am afraid not, it's someone else....
Zack: Hold on, I am coming!
Zack sights in anger...
Zack: Why can't we finally begin this operation without someone interrupting us? Brutus, Gyzmoo, wait for me here.
Zack exits the briefing room and rushes to the main hall of the complex (lobby), where he confronts a group of ZPD Officers, including Nick. The officers are waiting at the entrance of the hall for Zack. He spots the mammals dressed in blue uniforms and he can barely believe what he sees at this very moment. The ZPD's appearance in his lair has really unsettled him. He approaches them with great caution and ready to dispatch them in case his research and bad intentions are bound to be exposed.
Zack: What makes you guardians of Zootopia come to Onyx Technologies?
Nick: Excuse me, are you the chief of this....company?
Zack: Yes I am. What do you want?
Nick: Your company has been brought to our attention by one of the citizens. We are here to carry out an inspection of this building due to suspicious activity.
Zack: You're NOT authorized to be here by any means!
Nick: Do you have any idea who we are?
Zack walks up to Nick...
Zack: I am pretty sure I know who you are. What are you gonna do? Arrest me? Or say..."You're under arrest"? Let me tell you something before you do something unwise.
As Zack speaks...his guards are already starting to point their advanced weapons at the ZPD Officers who pulled out their guns. The entrance to the building gets locked down....
The Officers behind Nick are forced to drop their weapons by the guards around them....
Nick: So, it's true. You are indeed a threat to Zootopia after all...
Zack: What? Who told you?
Nick: Blake was right....he was right all the time....
Zack: He....he lied to me! What did he tell you?
Nick: Everything...
Zack: I can't believe he lied straight into my face...my best friend....
Nick: Because you're a monster. What do you think you're doing? So, you wanna destroy our beautiful kingdom with your research? Is that your main goal?
Zack: It's none of your business, fox!
Nick: Whatever it is you're planning to do, it's over. Your company is going down in history as the most wicked place ever and we will make sure it shuts down in less than 24 hours. I don't care what you'll do with me and my fellow officers, but killing me or seizing me won't help you keep the company obscure anymore. Once Chief Bogo and our government learns about the true purpose of this company, the whole ZPD force will be here to eliminate you and ....this reprehensible army you've assembled here, the same goes for your company. I gotta give you praise for keeping all of this confidential all these years though, but it's over, buddy!
Zack's eyes turn from blue to vivid red again due to sorrow and extreme anger...
Zack: If I were you, I would run for my life right now. But the problem is, there's no escape, you can't run anywhere. Now, eradicate the police threat.
Zack's guards mercilessly shoot Nick's partners behind his back except him. Nick knows what just happened behind his back but he is hesitant to turn around to see his longtime partners dead with blood all around them...
Nick: You.....you won't go away with this one.....
He is standing in front of the ghastly megalomaniac who just lost self-control. He puts his paw on his holster and starts thinking about whether to draw his weapon to avenge his partners or just.....let it go....
Zack: Your weapon would lead you to your own downfall, pathetic fox. Don't try to be a hero here!
Zack grabs Nick and forces him to turn around to look at his dead partners....
Nick: YOU'RE INSANE! Why are you doing this?!
Zack: Do you see what lies before you?!
Nick is in a very detestable and horrifying situation, a situation he will never forget until the end of his life. He is trying his best to not look at his killed friends....and partners.
Nick: Stop....please...I can't....
Zack: DO YOU SEE WHAT LIES BEFORE YOU?! ANSWER ME!
Nick: Something you'll....definitely regret! You're going to pay the ultimate price for this.
Zack: That's death! And it will befall all of your loved ones and the mammals you're valiantly protecting in this city. Justice is just about to be abolished and I will become the new definition of injustice. I'll let you live, for now. Go....tell your authorities that their end is coming and they don't have much time to do anything about it.
Nick: Just wait till we contact the ZSA, it will be you and your troops who will be overthrown. Not us. We will stand together and fight for justice and our city, our loved ones....OUR FAMILIES! YOU LOSER!
Zack: We shall see. Just deliver my message to your friends, police officers or whatever they are....tell them that war is on the horizon and that there will be a new order. Throw him out...
Zack's guards grab Nick while taking his equipment including his gun and start dragging him towards the entrance, which opens...
Nick: You'll pay for killing my friends you moron!
Zack doesn't even react and heads back into the briefing room while Nick is thrown outside of the building....without his dear partners. Minutes later, Zack comes back to the briefing room, his aggression has been diminished and now he barely even remembers what just happened and he is rather focused on his main mission. There's an uninvited guest sitting on one of the chairs. It's Commander Ravendoom who just showed up out of nowhere...
Commander Ravendoom: It's good to see you back, Wolfward. Who dared to interrupt our briefing?
Zack: Our enemies....and I don't remember summoning you to this room.
Commander Ravendoom: I am very cheesed off with that. I decided to join and assist this mission in case of unnecessary mishaps. You need me and my superiority. With me being involved in this operation, the chances of victory are really high.
Zack: You know, that's plausible. With your aid and tactical coordination we can eradicate our enemies and take over the city much faster.
Commander Ravendoom: Wise words, Wolfward. I also heard that Neyla called you.
Zack: Yeah...she did. We cannot let her down. I hope we can finally work together without any arguments. Only then we will accomplish our mission.
Brutus: Let's commence this mission already...
Commander Ravendoom: Someone is just so full of enthusiasm...
Brutus: Right...
Zack: So, you're backing me up with your forces I see....
Commander Ravendoom: The Empress ordered me to aid you in the forthcoming battle for Zootopia.
Zack: She still doesn't have any confidence in me. She thinks I am a useless artificial THING capable of bringing nothing but disappointment. I feel like everyone has a contempt for me....well I am about to prove her and everyone else wrong. I WILL fulfill my PURPOSE!
Brutus: I guess that's the reason Raymond joined the party....
Commander Ravendoom: That is correct!
Professor Gyzmoo: So, are you gonna discuss some things about the Doominator?
Zack: I was about to ask you how do we exactly activate that weapon? Do we really need to reach the roof of that huge skyscraper?
Professor Gyzmoo: The Doominator can be activated anytime at your convenience. However, if we were to activate the weapon outside on the ground, it wouldn't have a desired effect. The higher the weapon is located from the ground level of the city, the higher the coverage radius will be which means if you wanna entrap all the mammals, you'll have to reach the highest point in the city which is that skyscraper located in the center of Zootopia.
Brutus: Is it really necessary to get to the top of that skyscraper? I am....kinda afraid of heights...
Zack: Don't be a wimpy pussycat, Brutus! Actually, you won't be needed at the top of the skyscraper.
Brutus: What?! Reason?!
Zack: I want you to lead an assault on the ZPD. We need a diversion while we execute this operation. We can't expose the Doominator without subduing the police forces.
Brutus: I approve of that idea. I got an old friend back at the ZPD who took my position. Ya know, I was initially supposed to be the chief of the ZPD until that dimwitted stubborn buffalo rose to the rank of a chief instead of me!
He said it while slamming the desk with his hand...
Professor Gyzmoo: That must've been Bogo.
Brutus: Correct. He doesn't deserve that position. I was always better than him! I'm about to show him how much of a threat I've really become ever since I talked to him personally years ago. I've improved and I am ready to take him out so you can count on me with this, Wolfward.
Zack: I see you bear a huge amount of grudge against Chief Bogo. Do not let me down, Brutus.
Brutus: I won't. That's a promise!
Zack: Good. So, according to what I was told by your team of skillful scientists, Gyzmoo, this weapon creates some kind of shield around the city?
Professor Gyzmoo: Yes. It creates a red barrier around the city so nobody will be able to escape or enter the already affected place.
The hologram in the middle of the table starts showing a simulation of the disastrous event as Professor Gyzmoo and Zack talk about Operation Thunderbolt....
Zack: Does this mean that we will be safe from being attacked by the ZDF?
Professor Gyzmoo: Yes! No hostile forces will be able to enter the city from the outside once the weapon is successfully activated.
Brutus: And what will follow?
Professor Gyzmoo: The weapon will fire a red beam full of dangerous chemicals into the sky that will alter it and create black grisly clouds of annihilation!
Zack: And?
Professor Gyzmoo: That's where the fun begins...
Zack: Let me guess, lethal thunderbolts will strike the city and begin wiping out all the mammals in it?
Professor Gyzmoo: EXACTLY! And it's not everything yet. There's more. In addition, those clouds will emit a vivid red gas which will slowly but profusely spread all across the city and turn all the surviving animals into savage beasts! The only things that won't lose their minds are our troops, the clones. They've been injected with an antidote that makes them immune to this virus.
Zack: Excellent. This is how I will impress Neyla and at long last I will be the new ruler of this soon to be fallen kingdom and perhaps the commanding officer of her own army! This is the beginning of the end. I am going to turn this place into an industrial complex afterwards where we will build our future, an army and much more!
Commander Ravendoom jumps into the conversation....
Commander Ravendoom: I see a bright future ahead. Judging by the technique you choose to destroy Zootopia, I can see nothing but success unless we or someone else makes a huge mistake that will ruin our future. If everything goes according to our plan, our actions will be inexorable and YOU will fulfill your purpose.
Zack: Nobody will stop us. Failure may be a great teacher, but I can't let it destroy my lifetime wish. I have to fulfill my destiny, without failures.
Commander Ravendoom stands up....
Commander Ravendoom: Let's get started!
Brutus: I just can't wait to crush some skulls!
Zack: Not so fast!
Commander Ravendoom: What's the problem? Do you still have something to add to this briefing?
Zack: I....I gotta do one more thing before we head towards the skyscraper with the Doominator....
Commander Ravendoom: What is it?!
Zack: The Golden Fang Clan....
Commander Ravendoom: What?! I thought you've gotten rid of that clan already!
Zack: It's not that. They....they captured my best friend....
Commander Ravendoom: Are you saying that after all of this talk, you still care about that pathetic fox? He is just trying to stop you! Forget him! He is a distraction, nothing important!
Zack: No...I am not leaving my best friend in a den of revolting creatures. First Blake, then Operation Thunderbolt.
Commander Ravendoom walks up to Zack and tells him to stand up. As Zack stands up, Commander Ravendoom punches him in the face and then he falls to the ground....
Brutus: Wow, easy easy....
Professor Gyzmoo: Oh here we go again, ready for the show Brute?
Brutus: I wish I had popcorn right now...
Professor Gyzmoo runs up to Brutus and sits down on one of his shoulders....
Commander Ravendoom: You shameful creature! You were told to carry out a task by the Empress and now you're disregarding her commands already. I won't help you in rescuing that fox, Wolfward!
Zack: I don't need your help....I will do this on my own....
Zack stands up....
Commander Ravendoom: So be it. You're on your own but if Neyla realizes you've disobeyed her orders, it will mark the end of this company and your life. Just remember, you're not one of them. You don't belong here. We've created you for this job, to help us reclaim what rightfully belongs to the Gryphonians, this city...
Zack: I won't rest until my friend is in safety, with me! I will get back to my main mission once Blake has been rescued. You know, he may have lied to me, but I still care about him regardless of what he did.
Commander Ravendoom: What did he do?
Zack: He exposed our company to the ZPD by telling them all of our secrets.
Commander Ravendoom: And you still want to save his miserable life. I'll tell you what, you go save him and then I will teach him a real lesson!
Zack: I'll do that myself, but not in a violent way you prefer to deal with things...
Commander Ravendoom: I'll wait here with my units then but be warned, if Neyla calls me to report the course of this operation, I will only speak the truth. I will tell her you abandoned your mission. So I suggest you hurry up and do this while you can before it's too late.
Zack: I will return and finish what I started. But first, I am going to save my friend and then I will annihilate those underground pests.
Commander Ravendoom: Professor Gyzmoo, can these mammals survive Operation Thunderbolt underground?
Professor Gyzmoo: About that.... The Doominator is unable to kill mammals who are hiding underground. They're just far from its reach. Any mammals residing underground must be eliminated by your troops.
Zack: See? If you want to reclaim this city, we must venture underground and wipe those animals out ourselves.
Commander Ravendoom: Now that's a big game changer. You know what, I am going with you to speed up the process....
Zack: Fine, just stay behind my back. This is my job....
Brutus: That punch was way too worthless though...
Commander Ravendoom: Shut up!
Zack: Brutus, you know what's your mission right or do I need to repeat myself? Have you been listening?
Brutus: Of course. This big tank has to eliminate the ZPD threat...
Commander Ravendoom: It appears Brutus still has some good memory after all these years...
Brutus: When it comes to meeting my rival, Bogo, I can remember anything....like being told to raid the ZPD and confronting its chief.
Commander Ravendoom: Just make sure you do that hastily because you'll be needed elsewhere as well.
Zack: Or just take your time in case you screw up....
Brutus: Got it. I will go assemble the clones and separate them into groups.
Zack: Sure. Go ready the clones. I'll need a good amount of them.
Brutus: How many?
Zack: Enough to eliminate a whole clan underground.
Brutus: A team of 50 to 100 clones should be enough for that.
Zack: I'll take 50 of them with me while you take more than 100 clones to kill those bastards at the ZPD. You'll need a lot of them because there's a huge difference between the Golden Fang Clan's firepower and the ZPD's. Your task will be much harder than mine so choose your clones wisely.
Brutus: But chief, the clones are highly proficient in taking out large groups of enemies even when they are in smaller numbers. Trust me, we have to save on the clones and use them when they'll be needed the most during Operation Thunderbolt.
Zack: Brutus, Operation Thunderbolt begins with the raid on the ZPD. We gotta deploy a whole army of clones to secure the ZPD and its surrounding area.
Brutus: What if the ZDF stand in our way?
Zack: They won't. Once we activate the Doominator, nobody will be able to exit the city or enter it. Now, we gotta hurry up because that fox is probably already at the ZPD reporting everything he just witnessed here.
Commander Ravendoom: Why would you just let him go? You should've shot him dead!
Zack: I just wanted to give them some time to prepare for a massive attack that they won't be able to repel in any way.
Brutus: So, they are expecting my arrival....
Zack: Brutus, I haven't exactly told him that we were gonna attack their headquarters. You're good. You're gonna get them and I don't think they'll be prepared when you strike.
Brutus: I am going to enjoy making that place desolated.
Commander Ravendoom: You couldn't have picked a better person for that job, Wolfward.
Zack: Trust me, Brutus really dislikes Bogo so he will do everything in his power to make him beg for mercy in front of him.
Brutus: You bet! What are we waiting for? Let's make some chaos!
Zack: Alright, you've been all briefed. It's time to make use of our highly advanced weaponry!
Commander Ravendoom: Exactly. And there are just so many targets outside, targets that are full of LIFE!
Brutus: Let's go!
Brutus stands up and heads towards the door with Zack and Commander Ravendoom until Professor Gyzmoo tells him to stop while he sits on his shoulder...
Brutus: What is it?
Professor Gyzmoo: Wolfward, I got something made specifically for you in my lab. Would you mind if I showed you one of my latest creations? It's something that will make you literally unstoppable.
Zack: If it's really something that will help me take advantage of the battlefield, then show me what you got. Brutus, go assemble the clones in the barracks and Comm...-|
Commander Ravendoom: You don't tell me what to do. I am a high ranking officer in the Gryphon military, I already outranked you, so don't you dare give me any kind of orders here...
Zack: You're still in my territory!
Commander Ravendoom: Your so called "territory" is nothing compared to the Odynhood Empire where I am highly respected! What belongs to you also belongs to me! Now get a move on! I know what to do!
Zack: Whatever....
Professor Gyzmoo jumps over to Zack's shoulder and they all exit the briefing room and go to their respective objectives.
A couple of minutes later...
-In Gyzmoo's Lab-
Zack and Gyzmoo are in the main lab with so many sections with tables and various experiments run by his scientists all around the place. Gyzmoo leads Zack into an armory where new suits, weapons and explosives are tested and stored before they are sent to the barracks section of the complex.
Zack: So, what exactly is that exo thingy you wanna show me?
Professor Gyzmoo: You won't believe it until you actually see it...
Professor Gyzmoo jumps off from Zack's shoulder and walks over to one of the exoskeletons stored in one of the chambers. He pushes a red button which ejects the exoskeleton from the chamber. Zack looks rather confused having not seen anything like this before.
Professor Gyzmoo: This.....this is yours master. It has been tested and it is fully operational and ready to use.
Zack: What kind of machinery is this?!
Professor Gyzmoo: This is a powered exoskeleton which gives you unthinkable power! With its support, you will be able to literally crush anyone to death. Your victim's mother won't even recognize them when they come face to face with you. When you put this suit on, you will become a war machine capable of causing absolute destruction. With its power, you'll be able to destroy everything into smithereens.
Zack: That sounds really propitious! Gyzmoo, you are a legendary genius!
Professor Gyzmoo: It's an honor for me to be involved in this project and thank you for giving me the chance to add something to Operation Thunderbolt.
Zack: My pleasure. I just wish you had more of these...
Professor Gyzmoo: This is my latest creation so we don't have much at disposal right now. This is the finished version of the exo suit, the others are only prototypes. I was trying to bring this masterpiece into existence JUST FOR YOU master. It's completely stable, intact and most importantly, trustworthy! Our technologies are evolving day by day and who knows, one day we might be able to colonize even Mars!
Zack: I doubt Operation Thunderbolt would be possible without your help, Gyzmoo. You were always dependable. We need more rodents like you in the lab...
Professor Gyzmoo: But chief, I am invaluable! I cannot be replaced by anyone because nobody can compete with my anomalous intellect. There can only be one Professor Gyzmoo!!!!
Zack: I can't agree more with that.
Professor Gyzmoo: Go ahead and put it on.....there's an area reserved for testing the exo suits. Give it a try.
Zack: I'll definitely use this but I don't have much time for learning how to use it properly, but I'll improvise.
Zack puts the exo suit on himself, he looks more menacing than ever before, a super soldier was born....
Zack: My movement is much easier with this suit on.
Professor Gyzmoo: Like I said this suit will give you all the power and benefits you need on the battlefield including superior agility and defense. I think you just became the most powerful being in this city...they won't stand a chance against you, but be careful, this suit does NOT grant you immortality. You can still be hurt or even killed. Don't let your enemies outsmart you.
Zack: As long as this suit gives me the upper hand, I'll hardly be defeated! Is there anything else I need to know?
Professor Gyzmoo: Actually, there's one more important feature you should be aware of. Check your gloves....
Zack observes his gloves with blue pads on them....
Professor Gyzmoo: If you clench your fists, you'll activate the pulse pads that will allow you to push any objects away from you with great force which can be lethal too for your opponents. For example, if you do a swift swing to any side with your whole arm, you can create a shockwave which will either stun, electrocute or forcibly fling your opponents away. You can also switch to any mode you want by touching the panel on your arm where you can switch between the modes the suit offers. Next, you can pick up any objects too and move them in the air when you open one of your wrists and aim them at the chosen object.
Zack: Gyzmoo....this is incredible! It's like in Paw Wars!
Professor Gyzmoo: You're a Jedi master....
Zack: More like a Sith Lord at this point....
Professor Gyzmoo: Try hitting that wall in the testing ground....
Zack: Are you sure I'm not going to break my hand if I punch it?
Professor Gyzmoo: Most certainly not!
Zack gets in the testing ground with various props and things to destroy, at first he is unsure about destroying the wall with his own arm, but then he lands a swift blow into one of the hefty walls, and smashes it into pieces.
Zack: You gotta be kidding me. I haven't even felt anything. My movement is extremely smooth and excellent and I've become far more powerful than ever before! I mean I am powerful enough without this suit too but this is giving me the power I need to successfully fulfill my purpose and bring Zootopia to its end.
Professor Gyzmoo: I am sure they will all shiver in fear before you, master.
Zack: Remain in the labs with your scientists to supervise them while Operation Thunderbolt is underway.
Professor Gyzmoo: Yes, sir! Also, I suggest you practice the suit's abilities for a bit longer to fully master them.
Zack: Don't worry. I am a fast learner. I'll crush them all!
Professor Gyzmoo: Did you know it has a disposable shield?
Zack: No? Well, then how do I activate it?
Professor Gyzmoo: It doesn't require manual activation. It is a passive ability. But it can tail off when you receive heavy damage from projectiles so you'll become vulnerable. Like I said, you aren't really invincible with this suit on.
Zack: Thanks Gyz, for all the information and the immense support.
Zack leaves the labs. While being on the way after Brutus and Commander Ravendoom, Regina crosses his path in a hallway with one of her arms behind her back, she is seemingly hiding something behind her back....
Regina: Zack....you don't have to do this....
Zack: You again? You just never learn...
Regina: I am not letting you do this...
Zack: Do you really think you're going to stop me from reaching my ultimate goal?
Regina: Not while my family is out there in danger. You enslaved me! Used me! And then you took my freedom!
Zack: It was merely your decision to stay here and help us in our research, you could've chosen a different job elsewhere but you chose to work for me instead. I must say it was a terrible decision on your part, but that decision just eased my job a lot. Your contributions to our research is what I appreciate a lot but since you were always disobedient and antagonistic towards me and the personnel around this complex, I don't care about you one bit. You say I used you? That's true. I never truly cared about you, you were always just my slave here and this is all your fault! If you showed a bit of support to me and respect, perhaps this would've never happened and I would have a completely different approach to you. Why won't you let me do my job finally?!
Regina is on the verge of breaking down as she can barely convey any words after what she just heard from Zack....
Regina: Why are you doing this to me, WHY!!! I will NEVER support you in anything after what you just said. Operation Thunderbolt is something that must be prevented from happening....you can't just destroy this city and kill every mammal in it. You're so bewildered...and stupid that you can't comprehend anything about it because you don't know what family is.....you don't know what love is....you don't know anything besides killing and causing a mayhem wherever you go...
Zack: No, can't you understand if I abandon my mission, our authorities will cut me down and this city will be destroyed regardless. There's no way to stop this. It's either me or the Odynhood Empire that eradicates this race, the Zootopians. I don't wanna die....as I have dreams and goals and I won't let you take them from me!
Regina: You immoral freak! You don't have any dreams or a family! YOU ARE A NOBODY! A FAILED CREATION! This is why you have no sympathy towards anyone!
Regina's words infuriate Zack to a pretty high degree that makes him walk closer to Regina with a desire to tear her apart. His eyes changed to devilish red again...
Zack: DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME A FAILED CREATION! I am still a living being! I have feelings in case you didn't know! Get out of my WAY!!!!
It is revealed that the thing she is holding in her hand behind her back is a gun after she aims it at Zack while having a tremendous desire to kill him....
Regina: BACK OFF!!! You've never been this close to meeting your fate before, I have to do this....this is the only way of saving Zootopia and my family...
Zack: You're so lost! Can't you understand that my death won't save this contemptible city from destruction!
Regina: You're just so unprincipled! You could have had a beautiful family but you've chosen to follow a path that led you to losing your very own sanity! You have no idea what a family is, or how it feels like to be loved by someone who means the world to you, you don't know the meaning of love, you don't appreciate this gift that is life!
Zack: You look so downcast. I've never seen you like this before....I can sense that fear in you....and that burgeoning desire to kill me. I don't want to hurt you....please....drop the weapon and get the hell out of my sight before it's too late...
Regina: No! I'm going to kill you before YOU take everything from ME!
Zack: Don't do it, please!
Regina fires a bullet at Zack, but his advanced suit's shield system blocks the bullet and pulverizes it.
Zack: Impossible...
Regina: What kind of trickery is this?!
Zack: That's one of Gyzmoo's groundbreaking inventions and now you're about to face its true power. I told you to get the hell out of my sight but you decided to pull the trigger instead. Why?! To become an even bigger threat and nuisance than you already were?!
Regina: NOOOOOOO!!!!
Regina shoots a couple more bullets till the magazine of the gun becomes empty. All the bullets were either deflected, or blocked by Zack's suit. As a form of vengeance, Zack uses the pulse pads on his gloves to hurl Regina from one side of the wall to another several times until Regina begs for him to stop. Zack listens to her and stops smashing her against the walls and drops her to the ground....
Zack: Have you had enough?!
Regina is staggered, almost unconscious from Zack's barbarous actions...she can barely even speak at this point as she is just lying on the ground, holding her head, uttering groaning sounds full of pain....
Zack: Do you still want to kill me?! I hope you learned a tough lesson...
Regina: Just...go.....GO! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!! BLAKE WILL MURDER YOU FOR THIS!!!
Zack: He can't possibly love you more than me, so that's not happening, not unless I rescue him first...
Regina: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! RESCUE HIM?!
Zack: Stop yelling and calm down or I will fracture every single bone in your body, if they aren't broken already....you want me to keep torturing you?
Regina: Please.....don't....I can't take this anymore.....why don't you just....end my suffering....I don't want to see this city be burned in ashes and my family die. You hurt me so badly....just....finish me off. If that weapon still had a few more rounds in it, I would do it myself....
She leans against the wall with difficulties while coughing up blood....
Zack's eyes turn back to gloomy blue....
Zack: This.....is a really burdensome situation and I don't know what to do with you anymore. I can't kill you.....I sense a heavy bond between you and Blake....you two really like each other. Killing you would result in losing my friendship with Blake...
Regina: Destroying.....our.....city.....will.....have.....the....same....outcome. He will.....never.....forgive.....you....for.....destroying Zootopia.....not to mention.....you.....hurt...me....
Zack: I don't know what to do.....I feel so lost and alone. I'm....sorry.....I'm so terribly sorry for what I've done to you. I take back everything I've said about you earlier. Forgive me....
Regina notices signs of pity in Zack's words and behavior....
Regina: I know.....there's....still good in you.....please....forget about your orders.....and fight for your freedom.....there are....mammals.....who can....help you....mammals who can...fight....against this threat....
Zack: I can't.....everyone just judges me. Nobody understands me....not like Blake does. I have to end it. Whatever it takes....
Regina is slowly losing her consciousness while Zack starts feeling guilty that he messed up once more....
Zack: Regina....you're not doing good at all. Goddammit what have I done? Blake is gonna kill me for this!
Regina: Just go....slaughter everyone I fricking love....that's what.....your true.....purpose is .....after all. Don't waste your time with me, I am a dead girl anyway...
Zack: No.....I won't let you here like this....
Regina: You caused this....I saw....that anger....in your .....eyes.....I saw....my....death.....in them....just....leave....me....alone...
Zack picks up Regina's weapon from the ground...
Zack: You wanted to kill me first, you're coming with me....
Zack picks up Regina gently and starts carrying her. Then he spots the cracks on the walls that he made by smashing Regina's body into them....this makes him feel even worse. Two patrolling Onyx guards are seen walking towards them...
Onyx Guard 1: Sir, what happened?!
Zack: There was a small accident or should I say...a small confrontation between me and this angel in my hands....
Onyx Guard 2: Miss Quinn! Is she okay?!
Zack: Mind your own business, soldiers and clean that mess up behind me. Proceed.
Both Onyx Guards (at once): Yes, sir!
Zack then continues walking straight in a long hallway while carrying Regina...
Regina: Where.....are....we....going?!
Zack: I am gonna leave you in the medical center. Your friends over there will take care of you. I don't wanna see you in this condition. I know it's my fault....but you triggered me as usual.
Regina: Why ...just....why do you want....to keep....me alive? I bring trouble....with ....myself.....wherever I go....
Zack: Because.....
Zack pauses for a moment...
Regina: Because of Blake?
Zack: Yes...
Regina: I knew it.....you truly don't care about me. You're just.....making sure....I survive.....to avoid getting.....into a big....conflict....with....Blake....
Zack: That's....moderately true. You know, we've been with each other for so many years and I don't think I would forgive myself ever if I was the cause of your death.
Regina: You almost..... succeeded.... in getting..... rid ....of this annoyance.... that I am....
Zack sighs in sorrow as he looks at Regina.
A couple of minutes later....
- At the medical center –
Zack took Regina to one of the rooms for a checkup....
Zack: I'll leave you here. I am sorry for inflicting these injuries on you. Look, I'll send a team to your residence to escort your family to this building if that makes you feel somewhat better. Family first, right?
Regina: That's....very....nice of you. It's the only thing I want you to do. I don't care about what you'll do with the city anymore....as long as my family is safe....
Zack: Just stay here to recover. Don't do anything stupid anymore please!
Regina: I won't. But you better ensure my family is secure, family safety comes first! Only then I'll be able to rest easy knowing that they're safe from being killed.
Zack: I promise you that.
Minutes later, Zack dispatched a team of troops to the Quinn Residence to spare and escort Regina's family to Onyx Technologies while the horrid operation takes place. In the meantime, Zack meets Brutus and Commander Ravendoom in a hangar and yes, you read that right! They even got a hangar with a big arsenal of advanced vehicles and helicopters, how wonderful! They got a "little" secret army that has been hidden from everyone and everything for ages. But the question is, can this army cause a devastating mayhem in Zootopia? We're going to find that out soon!
Zack: Alright, is everything ready?
Brutus: What took you so long?!
Zack: It was Regina again, she wanted to kill me.
Brutus: Okay, that's enough. I guess it was just another argument with some profound emotions included. You two would never get along with each other...
Zack: Probably one day....
Brutus: Oh, so she still lives...
Zack: Let's just forget about her, for now. Is everything ready for the operation?!
Brutus: Just like you requested!
Brutus points at a battalion of fierce artificial combatants....
Zack: I've never seen them in such a big number together. This is 10 years of work right there...
Brutus: They're quite imposing I must say. The left brigade is yours consisting of less units, you know...just to meet your requirements.
Zack: Thank you for being a great trainer and a weapon specialist Brutus. Your work has helped this company a lot!
Brutus: My pleasure, chief. I will always fight at your side no matter what. Also, that brand new suit of yours deserves some good appraisal. I love it!
Commander Ravendoom: Let's be completely frank here, I like it too! Seeing you in that exo suit is incredible! This is how I imagined you to fight when you were created. Neyla would be proud of you. This just makes me more sanguine about our mission's outcome.
Zack: Finally, some favorable words coming out of your mouth, commander...and just so you know, if I didn't wear this exo suit earlier, I wouldn't be here with you anymore. I took some bullets, you know?
Brutus: Oh, I get it. Regina...
Commander Ravendoom: Those festering disagreements between you two need to cease at once! That vile female fennec fox should've been taken care of hours ago, when you dismissed her! But, let's see how good you really are out there, Zack. Brutus, you know what your mission is, go and bring the ZPD to the ground and take out its leader.
Brutus: Roger!
Brutus is already well armed, wearing heavy bulletproof armor. He opens a big crate with a minigun in it and picks it up...
Brutus: With this big baby being in my arms, the ZPD will collapse!
Zack: Holy crap! You can just simply take on the officers without the help of the clones with that big ass thing...
And it isn't just an ordinary minigun, its wielder can switch between plasma ammunition, and a grenade launcher mode that can fire a large caliber projectile which has a deadly electric explosion. Science has gone way too far....
Brutus: That's true but I still need someone to cover my back after all.
Zack takes some time and makes a statement in front of the clone battalion....
Zack: Remember, when we start, there's no way back. We will fight till we win or we're gonna die in the last ditch. It's either them or us. No surrenders! This is D-Day! Our time has come to rise from the shadows, to build a better future for a new generation of highly intelligent beings like you! Show them no mercy, kill them all without compassion! We will destroy our mortal enemies together! They've lived in peace and harmony for decades but now is the time to make their peace disintegrate into a long-lasting chaos! Break a leg, everyone!
The clone battalion salutes....
Zack: Commander, where's the Doominator?
Commander Ravendoom: It's on the rooftop in a Gryphon dropship. We're gonna transport the weapon airborne for security purposes.
Zack: Good. After we've killed those rats underground, you can send your units to transport the weapon to the top of the skyscraper. I'll handle the rest.
Commander Ravendoom: Good idea, but remember, we only got ONE TRY. Do not let us down.
Zack: I won't. I swear on my repute and position!
Commander Ravendoom: If you want to remain eminent within the Gryphon society, accomplish your mission. There's nothing else that needs to be said at this point.
Zack turns around to look at his clone battalion one more time before they are sent out to do their mission....
Zack: Prepare for departure.
The clones march to their military vehicles, some have a mounted machine gun with plasma bullets or rocket launchers. The hangar door opens as the clones start their engines and line up. Two convoys of vehicles are made.
Brutus: See you on the battlefield. Let's get this job done.
Zack: Good luck out there Brute.
Brutus salutes to Zack before heading to a transport truck. Zack and Commander Ravendoom enter the lead car of the convoy.
Zack: So, the moment we've all been waiting for. It's here. And I can't believe we're doing this.
Commander Ravendoom: Me neither. It took you a helluva lot of time, but it's happening. It's better late than never.
Zack: I just wish there wasn't a deadline. We were lucky Neyla gave us some extra time and tolerated all these delays.
Commander Ravendoom: I just hope you'll be as lucky during this operation as you were with negotiating back in Gryphonia, Wolfward. You'll be rewarded with what the empress promised you after Zootopia will be ours.
Zack: Those "rewards" are my motives after all.
Commander Ravendoom: Oh you don't say! Let's go! Zootopia engulfed in flames is gonna be more ravishing than ever before!
Two convoys set out to bring Zootopia to its end. The convoys leave Onyx Technologies and go their separate ways. One is aiming to create a diversion at the ZPD to buy the other convoy some extra time to carry out two important missions. To ambush and destroy the Golden Fang Clan and then ultimately reach the highest skyscraper of Zootopia to defend the Doominator while it begins the great mammal genocide and creates a barrier around the city to prevent any reinforcements from the ZDF from entering it.
