TROLL!COPS: The AU

[gingerale]

@Wigmund: ... That was wonderful.

[inexpediency]

I wanna know what peoples' head canons are for the way the trio met. Anyone?

[Redikalus]

My headcanon is that they kinda knew each other at a homeless shelter, but they met for real when they each tried to get along on their own on the street and resorting to crime.

[DJ-P0N3]

Nepeta was abandoned as a child and Gamzee has no idea who his parents were.
The two of them met on the street and stayed at the homeless shelter, however this is an alternate homeless shelter than the one Fef runs.
As such, they are eventually kicked out because they are simply overcrowded.

Karkat gets angsty and is kicked out of his home by his parents. He lives off the street for a week before meeting Nepeta and Gamzee.
He promptly treats them like his own, and becomes very protective.
and totally falls in love with Nepeta

[Cucurbita]

This is so great.

Has there been any backstory established for John? Maybe he became a super hero partially because he was inspired by his Dad. Who maybe is missing and he was raised by his Nana.

Also there was a mention somewhere of there being a Secret Wizard cult. This has to happen.

[Redikalus]

Whoop, fanfic time...

it's a tad long, and writing Gamzee's accent is a pain.

Chasing Midnight

Karkat Vantas began to storm out of the alley. Nepeta Lejion sprung up from her crouched position and ran after him. She caught up, grabbed his sleeve and tried to pull him back, but to no avail.
:33< pl33ase don’t go karkat!
I’M GOING AND THAT’S FINAL.
:33< but he doesn’t care about you. we do!
Karkat stopped and paused to absorb her words before turning on her.
DON’T YOU DARE SAY THAT AGAIN! OF COURSE HE CARES ABOUT ME! HE TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I KNOW!
Karkat yanked his sleeve out of her hands and started for the exit of the alley again.
:33< he’s a cold hearted killer! we’re your friends, but he purrbably thought of you tool than a friend. please don’t go, he’ll hurt you!
YOU’RE WRONG. HE WILL WELCOME ME BACK. BESIDES WE NEED SOME WAY TO GET FOOD FASTER, AND SINCE I ALREADY KNOW SLICK, I CAN’T THINK OF A BETTER WAY THAN JOINING UP WITH THE MIDNIGHT CREW.
Gamzee Makara shambles up to the pair in his usual stupor.

:33< gamzees right! if we hold out a bit longer, things will get b3tt3r.
YOU IDIOTS. WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO COME WILL NEVER HELP. I JOIN IF WE ARE TO SURVIVE THE UPCOMING WINTER.
And with that Karkat ran off leaving Nepeta and Gamzee behind in the alleyway.

*****

Gamzee stopped running and bent over, panting and out of breath. Nepeta ran a bit longer before turning around.
:33< come on! we n33d to hurry and find karkitty!
cAnT wE mOtHeRfUcKiNg ReSt fOr A wHiLe?

:33< no! this is impurrtant! you n33d to stay focused until we find karkat!
:33< he’s in trouble, I can f33l it.
Gamzee stood back up, having got a little bit of his breath back and looked around at the maze of streets, buildings and alleys.
BuT wE dOnT kNoW wErE hE oR tHe MoThErFuCkInG mIdNiGhT cReW iS.
:33< I know, but we have to k33p searching or it’ll be too late!

:33< yeah, but they wouldn’t just give it away to thieves, much less the homeless.

i ThInK iF wE jUsT mOtHeRfUcKiNg AsK, tHeY’lL bE mIrAcUlOuSlY mErCiFuL aNd GiVe Us ThE iNfO.
Nepeta sighed and ran off to the police station.
Gamzee groaned at the prospect of running all the way over and chased after her.

*****

Before Nepeta could stop him, Gamzee waltzed into the police department.
hEy MoThErFuCkErS, cArE tO hElP a BrOtHeR oUt.
There was a long pause as every cop turned to look towards Gamzee smiling stupidly in the door way. Eventually one broke the silence.
Isn’t that that clown criminal?
D--> Get him!
The commotion that followed would be talked about for months. Nepeta sighed, she knew that wouldn’t work, but at least it made a nice distraction. And she wasn’t too worried about Gamzee, he would escape, he always did.
She slipped through the nearest window and past the commotion without anyone noticing. A purrfect entrance. She stalked down the halls until she found a door with four symbols above it. A spade, a diamond, a heart, and a club. Nepeta slid inside without a sound and looked around.
All over the room were maps and plans. Nepeta quickly went over to the nearest pile and started sifting through it. In a few minutes she had gone through most of the documents and found some police projections of where the midnight crew would strike next. Exactly what she was looking for.
Nepeta made her stealthy escape, but unfortunately, the commotion had died down and the cops were returning to their stations. She managed to slip out a window before Officers Pyrope and Captor came around a corner. After a small bit of searching she found Gamzee reclining on a bench, as if nothing had happened.
:33< come on! I think I know where karkitty is!

*****

Nepeta hated the Foundry area. It smelt all wrong and it was too dangerous. And Karkat came here all alone. Even Gamzee was alert now, they had heard the Kingpin’s Mob had this place completely under its thumb. But Nepeta knew that the Midnight Crew were planning something here and Karkat was likely to be here as well.
Lurking eyes followed the pair as they wandered through the narrow pathways between the factories. Chills went down Nepeta’s spin as they heard a scream off in the distance. Too high to be Karkat’s but Nepeta quickened their pace nonetheless.
As they came upon the crossway of the small street they were on and an alleyway a spot of red caught Nepeta’s eye. She ran over to investigate and it was just as she feared; a trail of bright red blood. Nepeta whimpered to herself.
:33< please be a human’s. please be a dersite’s or prospitian’s, just don’t be…
As she trailed off she followed the trail of blood, first a trickle then a line, then a stream. As the trail got thicker Nepeta ran faster and the stench of blood and death got stronger. And then she found the source.
The body was covered in bruises and cuts and the area was covered in bright crimson. Nepeta felt sick. And then she saw it. On the soiled tatters of what was left of the victims clothes. A sideways 69. Nepeta screamed.
:33< karkat!
She leaped over to him and embraced his bloody body, sobbing uncontrollably. Gamzee walked over and tried to pull Nepeta off of Karkat. Suddenly Nepeta stopped sobbing.
:33< a heartbeat! he’s breathing!
:33< he’s still alive! we n33d to save him!

*****

Karkat woke up to pain. But he woke up. He was alive. After a few minutes of suffering, he managed to open his eyes. He saw grey skies framed by brown and red. Buildings, most likely somewhere in the settlements. Where was he last night? He remembers following the Midnight Crew to the Foundries and then he remembers… no, he doesn’t want to remember.
He heard movement beside him, but he hurt too much, and felt to weak, to turn and look. The figures of Nepeta and Gamzee appeared over him.
:33< karkat! you’re awake!
wElCoMe BaCk, My MoThErFuCkInG bRoThEr!
OH GOG, I HURT ALL OVER.
:33< oh, we’re so glad you’re alive. we thought you weren’t going to make it!
NOT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A GOOD THING, BUT HOW DID YOU SAVE ME?
:33< that’s just it! we tried to stop the blood the best we could but you were fading fast. then gamz33 tripped over something!
A mOtHeRfUcKiNg MiRaClE. sOmE fAnCy GaDgEt ThAt MiRaCleD yOu RiGhT uP.
:33< who did it to you? was it the mob? or…
IT WAS… I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT…
:33< it’s okay, everythings going to be okay now!
YEAH, IT BETTER.
Karkat went back to sleep, dreaming of better days.

While writing it I got some ideas for other (not as depressing) ones:
The Mystery of the Extra Striders- the beginnings of the Strider Mafia
Deal with the Detective- Terezi and Sollux have to deal with Eridan on a case
Egbert Man vs Feferi Peixes- Fef gets brainwashed and attacks Egbert with a whale. S.E.E.R. deals with it.
Cue the Devil- The Felt are up to their old tricks again... or are they?

[Wigmund]

Time to bring some Jade into Troll!Cops.

The Raid

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Karkat and his gang silently made their way through the labyrinthine underground sewers, subway tunnels and other forgotten structures that twisted and tangled underneath Alternia City like a mass of worms.

Nepeta frowned in disgust as they passed a vast cavern filled with what looked like something that should be pumped to the treatment plant, but found a much cheaper place to be stored.

Gamzee was his usual blissfully unaware self. Karkat wondered whether the druggie even had a sense of smell.

"Xpp < *Nepeta wants to know why Karkitty is l33ding her and Gamz33 so d33p into the sewers. She is frightened and she makes it known that it stinks down here*"

Karkat directed his dim flashlight at Nepeta and glared at her.

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT FUCKING ROLE PLAYING BULLSHIT?"

Nepeta hid behind Gamzee who teetered and tottered around.

"Uh, YeAh BrO. I'm CuRiOuS wHy We'Re DoWn HeRe As WeLl. WhAt ThE fUcK aRe We Up To?"
":?? < Yeah, why did Mr. Pupurr send us down here? Why are we heading towards Fort Skaian?"
"HoNk!!!!!"

Karkat wiped a hand down his face in frustration. Of course Nepeta would figure out where they were heading, she always had a great sense of direction and location down here. Despite the fact she couldn't find her way out of a paper bag, she could tell you exactly where you were in the city and in which direction you were heading even while blindfolded. And since she just sent Gamzee into a panic by mentioning their destination, he figured he was obligated to tell them what was up.

"Mr. Pupa wants us to snag something from Fort Skaian's R&D department. He didn't tell me exactly what it was, he just said that I'd know it when I saw it."
"BuT wHy FuCkInG uS?"
Gamzee gripped his horns as he continued to dance around and honk in distress.
"WhY aRe We FuCkInG wItH tHe MoThErFuCkInG mIlItArY?
ThEy ArEn'T tHe FuCkInG fUzZ bRo! ThEy'Ll JuSt FucKiNg ShOoT uS aNd LeAvE oUr BoDiEs FoR tHe ImPs AnD cOnSoRtS!"
Now this made Nepeta freak out.
"DD: < What? What do you m33n 'just shoot us' Gamz33?
:(( < I don't like it down here Karkitty. Let's go back!"

Karkat sighed and tried to calm them down.
"We can't turn back, this is one of Mr. Pupa's IMPORTANT FUCKING JOBS. If we don't do this, we better hope the military find us first."
His partners in crime stared at him in absolute terror. He gave them a malicious grin as he continued.
"But the boss did say that he left something down here that would make our way into the base much easier. I'm just trying to find it."

He looked at his friends and nodded back into the darkness ahead of them.
"Come on guys. Let's keep going."

Gamzee and Nepeta watched Karkat walk on. They then gave each other fearful looks and set off after him, moaning in fear all the way.


As they made their way into the sewers underneath Fort Skaian, they were nearly found by several patrols. Nearly found, but never discovered. The Karkat Gang got to watch in terror as the heavily armored patrols passed them by. The fucking looked like something from a Sci-Fi Horror flick, and they were armed for the roles as well.

What was the military afraid of down here that would prompt them to travel around like that?

Eventually, Karkat noticed a hole in the sewer's wall that lead into a small room. Inside that room was the ♉ that Mr. Pupa used.

Karkat had Nepeta squeeze inside to retrieve the goods. After a moment, she pushed through two military uniforms with proper id tags.
"Hey, shouldn't there be three of these?"
":33 < There are.
B|| < But do you think I'm going to change in front of you two?"
"Fine then.
Hey Gamzee, let's get changed."
Gamzee picked up the uniform and looked at it distastefully. He then gave Karkat a worried look. He knew what else he was going to have to do.
"Yes you stupid fuck. You're gonna have to remove your makeup.
The military doesn't deal with stupid clown-worshipping bullshit."
"Oh FuCk WoRkInG fOr ThE mAn. ThIs Is FuCkInG bUlLsHiT."
Karkat grinned grimly as he put on the uniform.
"You're telling me..."

After a minute or two, Nepeta squeezed out of the hole again, this time in the military uniform which she somehow managed to keep clean despite squirming her way through a filth covered hole. Karkat raised his eyebrows as he looked upon the catgirl who for the first time he met her, wasn't wearing the blue fur cap, massively over-sized jacket or grimy sweats and t-shirt. She looked good. He coughed and tried to distract himself from that thought.


Eventually the three found their way up onto Fort Skaian, yet again avoiding anything that would have blown their cover. Karkat pulled the others into a darkened hangar and retrieved a crude map of the base from his pocket. He got his bearings and found where they would be on it.
"Alright, we're here by the airstrip's hangars. We need to get to the - FUCKING HELL - opposite side of the base to reach the R&D facility."
He kicked something in frustration and put away the map.
"Let's head out. The sooner we get whatever the fuck Pupa sent us for, the sooner we can head back home."

They made their way across Fort Skaian. All the way somehow avoiding detection. In fact, it seemed that the soldiers on the base went out of their way to avoid them. Several times Karkat noticed their path would take them near a group of soldiers that once they got near them, would suddenly find other places to be.

What the fuck was going on?

It was Nepeta would stumbled across the reason why.
":?? < Karkitty?"
"What?"
":?? < Why are our unifurms diffurent than the other soldiers' unifurms?"
"What the fuck are you talking about. Our uniforms can't be-"

Karkat stopped as he stared at the uniforms they were wearing. It wasn't obvious in the sewers due to it being dark and the fact he had never actually seen a uniform up close, but now out here in the open - he could see that there were quite apparent differences.

He looked closely and wondered where he had seen duds like this before...

...he could have sworn he had...oh shit...

He remember a news broadcast he saw while robbing a department store. Something had happened in the Lost District and the military was sealing yet another portion of the gang's old home off from the media and anyone else that might get curious. But what drew his eyes to the broadcast were the scary fuckers in fancy gear that prowled around behind the talking head and the soldier sent forward with some bullshit excuse. Secretive looking fucks.

And Karkat and his pals were trapizing around the Fort in those very same uniforms.

Oh fuck, Mr. Pupa, what the fuck did you get us into, Karkat thought to himself as he tried very hard to not panic himself.

"Well Nepeta, these must be special uniforms.
Now let's get going. We don't want to keep Mr. Pupa waiting."


They managed to reach the R&D facility without any trouble and thankfully without running across any of those scary fucks.

Karkat was relieved that the id tags they came with the uniforms allowed them into the main R&D building. Now to find whatever the fuck it was that they were looking for.

As they prowled around, avoiding scientists and -oh shit- those scary fucks, they found their way into a large laboratory. This had to be a good place to start looking.

Karkat motioned to his pals that they should keep their eyes open for something when they all heard a clicking noise behind them.

More specifically the clicking noise made by someone chambering a round in a large and very deadly gun.

Specifically a gun that Karkat had only heard about. Something that would prompt Detective Terezi to skip the trial and just string him up from the nearest light post if she ever found Karkat possessing something like it.

"Put your hands up and slowly turn around.
You know I don't like it when you Nightwatch jerks just barge into my lab."
Karkat, Nepeta and Gamzee stuck their hands as high as they could and slowly turned around.

To find a dark-haired woman leveling what was obviously her best friend at them.

Karkat felt something drop in his stomach. Something wonderful.

The woman looked at them intensely down the sights and then cocked an eyebrow in confusion.

"You three are too short, not to mention too young, to be Nightwatch."

Karkat tensed up yet again. He looked out the corner of his eyes and saw that Nepeta was frozen like a preybeast in front of an oncoming truck and that Gamzee was looking straight up at the ceiling, praying.

"Alright, explain yourselves right now or I'll hand you over to Nightwatch who I imagine will be intensely curious as to where you got those uniforms."

Karkat gulped and looked directly into the woman's green eyes.
"Well, since our shit is up. Nothing worse can happen to us.
Mr. Pupa sent us after something here."
"Mr. Pupa? What were you here for?"
"I don't know, the boss said we'd fucking know it when we found it."

The woman lowered the gun and smiled at the three. She seemed to be listening to something because she nodded and would mutter something to herself.
"Oracle, our little retrievers are here.."
"Alright you three, follow me."

Karkat sighed and motioned to the others as they headed deeper into the labs. Occasionally, the woman would wave something in the air before moving on.
"What's that you're doing?"
"Can't have the security cameras recording me leading you three to what you're looking for."
"Oh."

It wasn't long before the woman indicated that they had found what they were looking for.
"Here it is. This is what Mr. Pupa desires. This is what he was promised."
"Who promised?"
"That's not for you to know."
"It there anything for me to know?"
The woman smiled at him. Gut confusion erupted again.
"To be honest. Not much."

Karkat tossed the object they retrieved to Gamzee who tucked it away in the amazing mass of hair he had. Then Karkat turned around to face the woman again.

"Well, can I at least get your name?"

She narrowed her eyes at him and smirked.

"Well, I can't deny anything if they catch you, so you might as well know.
I'm Dr. Harley, Dr. Jade Harley."
Jade...her name was Jade...

Karkat motioned for his pals to move on ahead of him while he stayed back to deal with something. It was a useful gesture to have when he needed a lookout whenever he was cracking a safe, now it saved him from some embarrassment in front of Gamzee and Nepeta...especially Nepeta.

"So...uh...Jade..."
"Dr. Harley."
"Yes, Dr. Harley. ummm...do you live on base?"
She was pursed her lips and gave Karkat a cautiously curious glance.
"No, I happen to live off-base.
Why do you ask?"
Karkat blushed furiously as she glared at him.
"Oh. No reason. No reason."
"Better be, because if I see you coming for me to 'keep me quiet' I'm happy to let you know that I carry this weapon with me at all times."
"Oh shit. Don't worry about that.
Uh...I'm sorry that I asked."
Karkat then turned around to join his friends, if he watching Jade, he would have noticed her smile at him.

He started to head out the door when he heard Dr. Harley clear her throat.
"Though I wouldn't mind meeting you somewhere else under better circumstances."

He stopped and smiled to himself before running out.

When he reached Nepeta and Gamzee, he led them out of the base. Once again with no troubles. How fucking curious, but it wasn't something that Karkat wanted to dwell upon.

They handed off the object to Mr. Pupa who seem quite estatic to get the item, whatever the fuck it was. At least he paid them decently this time for the job. They'd be able to get some food and have some money to play around with.

As they left Mr. Pupa's, Nepeta bumped into Karkat to get his attention. He had been distracted since their little raid.

":33 < It looks like I'm going to have to update my shipping wall."
"What the fuck are you talking about you autistic freak?"
";33 < I saw the way you and Ms Scientist Lady were looking at each other."
"SHUT UP."

A/N:

show spoiler

hide spoiler

If you must know, the deal was set up between S.E.E.R. and Mr. Pupa.

And look at that, I added something else to the Troll!Cops world - a scary black ops organization that could occasionally butt heads with the cops and others. And also the idea that the sewers have Imps. Maybe Ogres, Basilisks and other creatures from the session roam the underworld, accidents of the military and other groups playing around with Skaian ectotechnology.

Sorry about that. I just can't help adding more layers to this giant onion whenever I write something.

And I really can't help about my habit of shipping Karkat and Jade no matter what I write or draw. Deal with it. :p

EDIT: Nice fic, Redikalus. Did the MC batter Karkat and leave him where it would be blamed on the Mobster Kingpin or did MK's group get ahold of him when the MC sent him on a suicide run?

And nice use of the regions from the city map.

[Decker]

Nepeta was abandoned as a child and Gamzee has no idea who his parents were.
The two of them met on the street and stayed at the homeless shelter, however this is an alternate homeless shelter than the one Fef runs.
As such, they are eventually kicked out because they are simply overcrowded.

Karkat gets angsty and is kicked out of his home by his parents. He lives off the street for a week before meeting Nepeta and Gamzee.
He promptly treats them like his own, and becomes very protective.
and totally falls in love with Nepeta

The way I saw it with Gamzee was that he actually had parents who were very rich, but neglected him. Like actual Gamzee. How he ended up on the streets, I don't know. Maybe wiggler services paid them a visit? Maybe he ran away?

I left it ambigious intentionally to leave it up to the readers, the answer really depends on your interpretation of Slick's character.
Thanks btw, your fic is pretty good too.

[Decker]

When Nepeta was abandoned, all she had from her old home was a large, stuffed, blue cat that she pretended was her friend. She really didn't have anyone else, so she would pretend it could talk and they went on adventures and stuff, until it finally lost all of its stuffing. That's when she made clothes out of it.
Anyone tries to take them away because they're old and grubby gets mauled.
EDIT: Both of these explain her obsession with cats and role playing. She...kinda lost it a bit from being alone with a stuffed animal all that time.

I was being silly, but sure, shoot me a PM.

Karkat probably came from a violent and generally abusive household, probably with a younger sibling or something that he tried to protect from his parents. Explains his bad temper and violent streak and his over protectiveness of Gamzee and Nepeta.
After he got kicked out, he managed to get his younger sibling removed from the household, probably with an anonymous tip and government assistance (Feferi?). He has no idea where said younger sibling is now, and he thinks that's for the best.

Edit: Whoop, I got ninjad a bunch.
