Summary:
An adventurer from an early age, Judy has always dreamed beyond. Daughter of a famous archaeologist. From an early age, she was involved in her father's things. An only child, her mother died when she had her first litter. Of the four Kits, only she survived. Her father never stopped loving little Judith, but things in his work were not going well and when Judy was ten years old, her father took his own life.
Since then, Judy has always leaned on his childhood friend, Nicholas Wilde, a cunning and good fox, who, as much as Judy, archaeology was his passion. Together, they have already set off on numerous expeditions and adventures, stopping for a few months and returning to action again.
However, when Judy turned 25, an artifact in one of the Father's diaries, caught her attention. That little dagger had already been mentioned over and over again on the phone. The discussions were daily, and Judy saw the anger in her father's eyes. Without even knowing what that artifact really was, Judy never considered looking for it, or even suspecting that this object was wrapped in her father's death. She then decided to look for it. She would have to know what had happened for her father to have taken his own life and left her alone in a cruel and selfish world.
NA - Based on the atmosphere of Lara Croft's third game, The Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Judy will have some peculiarities of Lara Croft, but not so much. The story will be different, but the dagger of the game is the essence. Nick will be her companion. Yeah, together, they set off on an adventure.
Zootopia belongs to Disney.
Important Notes
(Please, read First)
If you're a writer, you can understand me.
Namely, I intend to keep some things faithful to the game, but Judy will have her personality, although I will take some concepts from Lara and the character's family from the game.
Well, I won't go on any longer. I hope you enjoy this new adventure. I'm open to criticism. But, please, constructive criticism and not offensive.
If you don't like the story, don't read it. Simple.
Important:
Note that there is no such thing as Zootopia. Mammals will exist in our world. It hadn't made sense for me to invent names, and in my mind that didn't help, so you will see London and Mexico a few more cities, quoted in history.
Well, imagine our world without humans LOL
Without further ado, the first chapter for you =D
The plan was simple: Go in, take some pictures of the artifact and get out. Easy and fast.
"A beautiful sunny day and you stuck in caves!"
It was nothing new for the fox. Sitting on a rock, the walkie-talkie was next to his snout. The sun on the horizon was already showing signs of descending, leaving the sky in a wonderful orange tone.
"Remind me again, why you want to check out this cave?"
"In my father's diary, it was indicated that I would find proof of what Trinity is up to." On the other side of the walkie-talkie, an enthusiastic female voice replied.
"Yeah, right!" Nick rolled his eyes and sighed. Not that he didn't like adventures and caves, but for two years they had been moving around and he liked to spend time at home in comfort and not always with death behind him.
"Nick, it'll just be this cave and we'll go away." a little laugh and one more sign.
And, in fact, it was just that cave that she was going to explore. After finding what she wanted, she would settle down at home for some time, wrapped in books and papers to discover the "why" of that strange dagger was the death of her father and Trinity's wish. All it would take; was photos of the artifact she was looking for. The prints would give clues. The words in the ancient language would be the discovery to decipher character and Latin on the father's diary.
"You have twenty minutes to take the pictures and get out of there!" Nick rushed. Out of him staying there longer.
"Yes, Slick!" she answered back and put the walkie-talkie in her waist buckle.
The road wasn't hard to follow. She was very slender on damp ground. The rocks crowded into each other, forming large walls of various shapes. The flashlight on one of her paws valued every corner in the darkness. The other free paw was the support and helps her not to go in vain into the unknown. A few more meters were enough, and a large tomb stood in front of her, inert and shining. There, in that space, in the rocky ceiling, the natural sunlight illuminated the large black cover over the tomb. Judy's eyes were illuminated. She was fascinated. Although over the years she had already seen many tombs. First, she climbed a few small steps. Then, she put the lantern down somewhere on the ground. Then, her paws began to caress the engravings on the stone. Minutes later, the camera was taken from her pants pocket and placed in her vision. Shot after shot, accompanied her as she surrounded the tomb. The more information she brought, the better.
"Oh, Nick, this is going to help me a lot!" she took the walkie-talkie and said.
"Great! Now hurry up," he rushed her.
"OK, OK... Geez!" putting the device back in the buckle, Judy took a few more pictures, before putting the camera back in her pants pocket.
Suddenly, a little beep started to echo over the place. Violet's eyes searched where it came from. And when she realized it, she only had time to jump and fall on her stomach by the entrance she had passed before. As such, the noise of the explosion didn't go unnoticed by Nick, who got up and searched where it had gone. Soon after, he communicated through the walkie-talkie, where Judy replied that she was fine.
"Get the hell out of there!" He begged her, shouting when the ground under his feet began to crack.
"NOW!"
He didn't have to repeat it a second time. Judy started running out of the way back to the entrance. The darkness had disappeared, being the ashes of sunlight, which entered through the cracks in the ceiling of the cave, was the necessary illumination for her to see where she put her feet.
She ran. She ran until she had to stop abruptly. The main entrance was covered by the rocks that had succumbed from the ceiling.
Oh, cheese and crackers!
Frustrated, Judy turned to all sides, looking for an exit somewhere to the surface.
However, outside the carve, Nick tried to keep his balance. The cracks got bigger and bigger, and he had to cling to the ground tooth and nail to avoid falling in vain. By pushing, he managed to put his knees on the firm ground that had not succumbed. His open paws were the support for his exhausted body. His chest filled and emptied with force. At least he had managed to get out of there. But his rest was short when he turned his body back to where he had left off. His heart was racing. The cave had collapsed with Judy inside. His paws were shaking. He knew that death always went hand in hand with them, but this idea was always passed over. Now, the fear of it had taken a hold of him. Suddenly, his walkie-talkie started making noise. Nick pulled him out of the buckle of his belt and pressed the button, starting to talk.
"Judy?" He called in fear.
"Nick, I'm fine, but..."
"But..."
"I'm stuck with no way out to the surface." distress could be perceived in her tone of voice.
"Be still," he asked. "Give me a moment."
He didn't keep the walkie-talkie back on the belt, keeping it on his paw. Then, he searched with his emerald green eyes for some hole or fissure in the middle of that wreck of stones and earth.
"Look for sunlight. Maybe there's some hole you can get through!" Nick asked, carrying the little device to his face. "Meanwhile, I'll look up here. I'll give you the coordinates if I find anything."
Judy searched. Her violet eyes ran through every nook and cranny. There were indeed small holes from which the light penetrated, but none was big enough for her to pass through.
I should have listened to Nick. He was right for me to be quiet.
Suddenly, an unusual sound alerted the rabbit. What sounded like wheels of a passing car and the sound of the brake to stop the engine was heard. Heavy steps, voices interspersed in each other, and a shot. Judy's chest filled and emptied with force. Trinity had found them.
Damn! She grumbled between her teeth and turned her attention to looking for a hole she could pass through.
Upstairs, smirks smiles were put on the faces of three mammals. In one of them, the pistol was still inert, pointed at a fox with his paws behind his head.
"Well, well, if it isn't Mr. Wilde," hard was the tone of his voice.
Nick didn't need to turn around to face the character to which that voice belonged. He knew the mammal well.
"What do you want, Andre Lopez?"
"Well, astute as ever. That's why I like you better than that stupid bunny." He literally spits out the words.
"What do you want?" This time, Nick turned and stared at him, keeping his paws behind his head.
"Your friend has something that belongs to me." Andre was sincere. He wouldn't beat around the bush. His dark blue eyes faced the fox in front of him from top to bottom.
"I don't understand you." And in fact, he was trying not to understand.
Nick knew who Andre Lopez was. He knew him too well for his taste. Judy's father's helper, his age went unnoticed in him. Some traces of old age were noticeable on his face, but nothing else. A scar over his left eye was proof of the discussion Stu Hopps had with him once, at home in his and Judy's presence. From this discussion, it became clear that Stu had gained an enemy, and that he would do anything to bypass the poor rabbit's archaeological discoveries. It was because of him, that Stu took his own life. Judy knew he was who to blame and Nick didn't deny it. Ten years passed, and he like Judy started investigating Trinity and the artifact that her father was so obsessed with. They won an enemy for life and Nick repulsed himself because of the fact Andre being of the same kind as him. Taking the color out of his fur. White as snow and a well-defined body.
"The photos that your precious friend took, will be the key to what I want!" The straw on his snout spun from side to side. The insistent smile marked an expression of joking, which was making Nick furious.
"How do you know what she found out is about that?"
"Now, don't play dumb, you idiot fox. Why else did she need to come all the way out from the comfort of London to the hellish heat of Mexico?"
And it was true. Nick knew it was only a matter of time before Trinity found out where they were going.
"What are you going to do?" Nick spit out the words.
Looking from the fox at the two mammals that were with him, with guns pointed at his figure, Nick had no escape from there.
"Me?" Andre took a finger to his chin in a thoughtful gesture. "Nothing, simply." And he smiled again. "Rest assured that I do not intend to kill Miss Hopps. It would be a waste, so gifted with intelligence that that precious bunny is. But as for you, the matter changes completely."
Nick swallowed it dry.
"Boys, arrest him," Andre asked, turning his back. "As for Miss Hopps, I'll take care of her myself." And he went to the jeep, going around, and opening the back door.
