Canterlot Academy Trials

With a loud crashing of water akin to a bomb dropping, the tidal wave kicked up by Dewdrop would push absolutely everyone in the immediate area back towards the coast of Abyssinia. Friendly and enemy alike. Soon enough, everyone would wash ashore akin to castaways on the nearest beach.

As soon as Mio came to, he looked around and noticed that all of the gangster cats--and the dalmatian diamond dog--had been piled into one neat group which he immediately point his gun at.

“You’re all under arrest!”

All of the beachgoing Abyssinians and other assorted creatures immediately stopped playing volleyball, building sandcastles, and suntanning in order to give the crime scene some room to breathe.

Meanwhile, Luster Dawn had crashed headfirst into a sandcastle. “OOF!”

Kuno crawled his way off of the rocks of a coral reef onto the shore. “...well that was certainly a plan.”

Noptera had taken the form of a bottlenose dolphin and swam to the shore before turning back into his default changeling form. “...glad that’s over.”

Lastly, Dewdrop had settled the waves and casually pranced onto the beach, turning her tail back into a regular pony. “Well now that put some kick into the knickers, didn’t it? Who’s up for more?”

Dawn had picked herself up and spat out some sand. “Plegh! Can ya warn me next time before you activate the last stage of our plan, Dew?”

“Hey, it ain’t my fault ye weren’t ready,” Dew teased Dawn, the latter furrowing her brow as the water horse continued, “Sorry, sorry. I’ll make sure I do better with warnin’ ya next time….ya pansy”

“Please. Ugh, I’ve got water in my ears now too,” Dawn complained as she tapped the side of her head which released a whole fish from her body, which she gazed at in complete silence for a moment before levitating it back into the water.

“Heh. Come on, what’s the matter with a bit of fun on the job?” Noptera added as he joined the group, “Haven’t had a dip like that in years.”

“See? Noppy knows what’s up!” Dewdrop chirped as she leapt up and put a hoof around the changeling, who reacted with a cough as he felt the wind knocked out of him.

Dawn flicked her tail to shake the water off of it and scoffed at the changeling with a horse-like snort, “Hrrgh. Easy for you to say. You can literally turn into anything you want, so don’t gimme that.”

“Hey, I’m just being honest,” he added with a chuckle as Dew let him go, “That aside, guess we need to get these guys apprehended and see what they know, huh?”

“They’re already on it,” Kuno commented from behind, causing everyone to flinch ever so slightly at the minotaur bull’s surprisingly stealthy presence.

“...jeebus, Kunoi, how long have you been…?” Dawn muttered as she looked over and saw the gangsters apprehended by police officer Abyssinian cats. “I see. I guess that part’s partially taken care of. Come on, everyone.”

With that, Dawn’s team would follow Mio back to the station where criminals would be held until further notice.

Meanwhile, at the hospital…

Rudy had been taken in thanks to the help of several Abyssinian EMTs who had arrived on the scene earlier. The rex tom was taken in and given a major surgery where the harpoon was carefully dislodged from his arm, but left him with a permanent, tree-shaped scar along the side of his arm and limited use of it.

Eventually, the tom would get a visit from a small white-furred Devon Rex she-cat with brown patches of fur mixed within who appeared to be no more than 14. She was restrained to a wheelchair, though she seemed to be able to roll it herself quite easily.

“...brother, are you okay?” her feminine voice called out in an accent like her brother’s.

Rudy eventually opened his eyes and saw his sister sitting next to his medical bedside. “...sis. Why are you here? I told you not to leave the house. Isn’t Mrs. Watson watching over you?”

The young she-cat folded her arms with a determined frown on her face, “You know I couldn’t stand by when I heard the news. What do you take me for, ya muppe’h?”

“...thanks,” he replied with a smile, “I’m just glad you’re alright more than anything. It’s why I’m out here fighting you know?”

“Yeah, yeah, just don’t get yourself killed,” she insisted with a pout, “You know you’re all I’ve got left and I don’t want to lose you, Rudeaux.”

Her words struck him deeply. Rudy fell silent and closed his eyes as he clutched his fist to his chest. After a moment, he opened them and glanced at her with a more understanding tone, “...you’re right. Sorry. I won’t throw away my life out there, Deidre. I promise.”

“Good. Now let me fetch your supper, hm?” the little she-cat then turned and rolled herself out of the medical room.

"Wait, Dee!" The tom tried to call out to her but to no avail; she had already left. Rudy simply lied down and relaxed instead for the time being. "...Bugger it. There's no stopping her when she gets focused on something."
