Abigail and the Rats of NIMH



Abigail and the Rats of NIMH is a crossover fanfic by Surenity/Masked Bard that links several movies and series featuring rodents, namely Once Upon A Forest, The Secret Of NIMH, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, and The Rescuers, acting as a kind of sequel to all four films/series.

Plot
A month after the ecological disaster that wreaked havoc on Dapplewood, the forest denizens face a new threat; scientists from NIMH, who received word from cleanup crews on the strangely advanced dwellings the animals lived in. What follows is a disaster that threatens the lives of every sentient rodent. Dapplewood is ransacked by NIMH's scientists, thinking it to be the dwelling of the intelligent rats that escaped their facility years earlier, that is until they find more than just rats living in an intelligent manner. The furlings, a group of four young forest creatures, are forced to journey alone as refugees, in a frantic and seemingly hopeless search for their families.

The story takes place in July 1993. It tackles serious subject matter such as animal testing, and probes the question; in all of the cartoon series that take place in worlds featuring intelligent and civilized rodents secretly living among humans, what would happen if the humans suddenly became aware of them?
