Nick and Judy made their way back to interrogation, bumping into a Rhinoceros officer on the way. With a certain confidence in their strides, other officers faces lined with confusion. When they did get to the room, which was not that far, they burst into the room where you waited. You were startled by their sudden entry. The two officers sat again in their respective seats, Judy had sparkles in her eyes and Nick had a smirk on his face. Probably because of Judy's face.

"So... in your 'world,' You're immune?"

You told them that you were, and you didn't know where this was going.

"We think we can use you to help us. You are the only thing we have seen that is remotely resistant to the Lavender Pixie."

After Nick finished that sentence, you asked what Lavender Pixie was. Judy seemed rather quick to respond.

"It is a potent aphrodisiac flower of sorts. A strange crossbreed between lavender and some other plant. The last time we dealt with anything like this was about nine months ago, and with another flower, called the Night Howler, which turns mammals into savages, like the tiger you fought. That time, someone had created a mixture of it to frame Predator's ... But recently, there has been another, one that makes people like that Cheetah officer who came in here."

"Actually, i think she was a leopard."

Nick laughed at his own joke, and Judy promptly smacked him on the shoulder. She turned back to you with a more serious face.

"Look. We don't really know you, but, we really need your help. You might just be the answer to our problems. If you decide to help us, we will help you get home. Deal?"

She held out her tiny paw of a hand. You waited a second, but after seeing the look of her eyes, you shook her hand and told her you would do what you could. You informed the two about the tiger incident, and that you were never that strong before. They both gave curious looks.

"That is certainly strange... Maybe we can stop by Lionheart Labs."

"Yeah, that should be our first stop. But would Bogo let him leave?"

Nick and Judy looked at you, and you shrugged in response. They both looked to each other, nodded, and stood up. Judy grabbed your arm.

"C'mon. As long as nobody see's you, we should be good. Let's head out the back door."

You followed the two cops, doing good so far to avoid other cops. Right when you all about made it to the door, someone stepped out of a side room. They were carrying a box that was probably full of official reports or something... It was that big cheetah from before at the front desk! He stopped and looked at you. Judy and Nick hastily tried to dismiss him.

"We have a lead on a case, and we need him. Please, Clawhauser,  promise not to tell anyone else..."

The Cheetah that was called Clawhauser smiled wide.

"OMG Your bringing him along!? Breaking rules again, just like old times! I won't tell"

He walked off and nick sighed. Judy hollered back at him though.

"It was only two times!! This one doesn't count!"

You could hear the cheetah laugh before he turned the corner. Judy beckoned you to follow them out of the door. Now that you thought about it, you never really got a look at the outside.

It was really bright outside, with scattered clouds. The buildings in the distance gleamed with sunlight and the trees around the parking lot swayed with the gentle breeze. There was no rubble, no imminent danger. This was what you would call a beautiful day.

Judy and Nick got in a SUV police car. You hopped in the backseat and you were off. You looked out the window as places went by. You saw an ice cream shop, a general store and many other normal things. Animals walking around was the weirdest thing there. You asked what city this was, and what other places there were.

"Oh! Of course you don't know. This is Zootopia! 'Where Anyone can be Anything!'"

Judy and Nick both giggled at the motto. You were perplexed with being in such a big city. It was the biggest you had ever seen. Before you knew it though, you were in a tunnel. You looked ahead out the front window to find that it was suddenly raining. No, Now you were in a rainforest!

As Nick made the Left turn, you got a good view of the life here. Trees grew big and sprinklers let down rain. You asked what this was. Judy was quick to answer.

"This is the Rainforest District of Zootopia! This is where the previous mayor had his secret lab. We uncovered it, and turned it into a laboratory for things like our case. They named it after that mayor, and still harbor victims of being shot by those chemicals that turn them insane. I don't agree with it but they cure them at least... Mostly just like a Hospital now. We will be able to see what makes you so strong and whatnot here. And, Ah There it is!"

When the turn was made, you could easily spot the large stone building. It had lights on inside of it and would have looked rather gloomy except for the large glowing arch in front of the doorway. You exited the vehicle with Nick and Judy, making your way in through the front door. You got quite a lot of sideways glances from doctors. Judy went up to the counter and asked for someone who ran the place. The doctor at the reception called for a specific someone, and told you and the cops to wait a minute.

You all went to sit down. You went next to a window, Nick beside you and Judy beside him. Nick took the time to break the awkward silence.

"So. About your 'world' or whatever. What's it like?"

You told him that it was almost like theirs, but there were only people like you until recently. Nick nodded, and patted your shoulder.

"Must suck, what happened to your place... But off of that subject. My real question is... 
What's it like not having a tail or anything? Isn't it hard for you to walk without that balance?

You chuckled, and told him that you don't know how to explain that one. You were about to ask him a question of a similar caliber when-

BANG

You heard the window beside you break, and something hit your neck. It hit you hard enough to knock you to the floor unconscious.

The last thing you heard before everything went black was Judy calling out your name.
