Canterlot Academy Trials

Just outside of the castle…

Odu’s gang of abyssinians were already hard at work pillaging various homes of the diamond dogs and taking hostages. The tiger man himself would approach the castle to make a formal declaration.

“Citizens of Caninia. I’ve come to make an announcement on behalf of Abyssinia,” he boasted with a maniacal grin on his face, “We have found numerous corpses of our people scattered about your lands and can see that you have broken your treaty with us.”

The diamond dog civilians stared at the abyssinian and gazed up at their queens, wondering just who they could trust…

“Hold on a moment!” Queen Indy shouted from above, “We’ve done no such thing! These corpses have no evidence to suggest that the wounds were dog-made!”

“Allow us to perform a thorough investigation and we will sort this out accordingly,” Katherina commented.

“I don’t think you’re in a position to negotiate,” Odu hissed and snapped his fingers.

Just then, several of his gangsters had appeared, holding various diamond dog citizens hostage with knives to their necks. One of which included Fang’s mother…

“Relinquish your order to Abyssinia or we will be forced to execute your people for what they have done to us!” Odu shouted as his magical power started to flare up, causing most of the dog citizens to panic. They could tell that this tiger man was serious due to the obscene amount of power they could smell coming off of his body.

The queens were prepared to leap into action, but found themselves cornered by more Abyssinian gangsters that had them held up in their throne room. The diamond dog’s royal guard at the various posts around the nation had also been ambushed and attacked by various gangsters in a coordinated assault to keep them preoccupied. This left everything else up to Fang’s team who had already hurried down to the field where the civilians were. With their new weapons at the ready, they stood prepared to fight even harder than last time.

“You’re in my home turf, cat!” Fang barked with his eyes bloodshot, “Coming here will be the last mistake you ever make! I’ll tear that head of yours off its neck!”

“I’m simply here to reclaim what’s mine,” Odu replied, “If you wish to stand in my way and become roadkill and utterly embarrass yourself in front of your own kind, then please….” His power flared up once more as his muscles bulged out beneath his skin. Once again, he was in the same state as he was when he last fought them, which put the tiger man in a state of euphoric confidence. “...come and get it.”

But before anyone could get started with any actual fighting, one of the catfolk had a helpless dog woman hostage and threatened to stab her with a knife. Fang immediately recognized her…

“...mother? Mother!”

“Oh, you know this one?” Odu snapped his fingers and the hostage was brought closer to him. Sure enough, it was Fang’s mother. The dalmatian woman was thrown to the ground coughing as Odu stomped on her head. “That makes things a bit better…”

“...shit…shit,” Rufus muttered under his breath as he stood next to his group.

“...You…” Fang’s voice became husky as he screamed at the top of his lungs, “YOU LET HER GO RIGHT NOW YOU FECULENT MISCREANT!” He huffed as the sides of his libs turned rabid, slowly leaking more and more salivation from sheer rage alone. “Touch her again, and I’ll string you up by your own innards and turn you into a living ball of fleshy yarn.”

“...Jun…” Lee whispered painfully as she tried to turn her head towards him, but it was of no use.

Spearklip knew this and gave a sigh, “...there’s no stopping him at this point. He’s utterly consumed by his own rage now. Best we can do is make sure Odu doesn’t leave here alive.”

Surprisingly, as this was happening, Fang’s mother didn’t seem to have an ounce of fear on her muzzle. Quite the contrary. Given that she knew that she only had so long left to live anyway, her fear of death had long been thrown out of the window. From the corner of her eye, she could see the fearful faces of her pups hiding in their home..

‘If I can at least do one thing for my son and the rest of my kids before I leave here…it’s gonna be something important.’

“Hey,” she called out from below, which caught the attention of both Fang and Odu. “I’ve got something to say to you, mister.”

“Hm?” Odu picked her up in his paw, “This ought to be interesting. What do you have to say?”

“...mother? What are you doing…?” Fang breathed quietly, his lip quivered in fear.

“Smile.”

THWACK!

With a quick tilt of her head, she reeled back and dealt a nasty headbutt to the tiger’s forehead, causing him to drop her and stagger ever so slightly. “Tch!”

“Go Fa--!”

“MOTHER!”

Just as she tried to give a warning to her son and his friends, the dog woman was quickly subdued and stabbed by another one of Odu’s gangsters. Repeatedly. The back of her body gushed blood as she fell lifeless to the ground.

“...”

In an instant, Fang practically pounced on that gangster and bit into his neck to tear out the cat’s throat and spat out the remains nearby.

The rest of his team watched in awe as Fang reached his breaking point, but quickly had to refocus on their objective.

“Hey…hey let’s not lose track here,” Rufus spoke up, “We protect the civilians and drive this gang out as fast as possible. Any questions?”

“No.”

“No.”

“Good. Let’s go!”
