Canterlot Academy Trials

With Fang and Beel…

The dalmatian diamond dog and abyssinian tigress were locked in a fierce battle. So much so, that it made their previous battle seem rather causal in comparison.

To be specific, each blow that was connected or blocked caused a rippling impact in the air around the both of them.

Sha’Beel threw a punch that Fang quickly blocked with his paw. While his feet were staggered in the sandy dirt beneath him, he had stopped her strike in an instant, which caused the air around them to vibrate from the impact. In no time, his claws came out, and he slashed at her abdomen which she narrowly avoided with the skin of her fur receiving only minor scrapes as she leapt to the side. It was so fast, that only a slow-motion camera would realistically be able to capture their movements.

But in a split-second, Sha’Beel dodged to the left, and swung her right leg to deal a devastating kick to Fang’s body. Her muscular tiger leg was almost like hardened steel, and could break the bones of an average combatant.

However, Fang was not an average combatant.

As soon as he was flung backwards from the kick, he took a tumble, but quickly flipped himself upright to where he was on all fours like a feral beast. For a moment, he crawled along the path, circling Sha’Beel and looking to get a feel for her movements.

Unfortunately, there was no such luck. Sha’Beel kept herself calm, almost frozen with her breathing kept to a minimum. Her tail swished about, indicating that she could pounce in almost any direction without a moment’s hesitation.

But Fang knew this. Hence why he kept his own movements deliberately slow for a moment as he gathered up dust in his paws from crawling around.

“Just give up,” she finally broke her silence, “When you’re gone, no one will remember you. That is the way of the untamed world. If you aren’t prepared to die, then go home to your mother.”

“I won’t have to,” Fang muttered under his breath with a forced chuckle to conceal his pain, “She’ll be dead soon.”

And in a split-second, he dashed towards her like a speeding bullet of black and white. The feral diamond dog seemingly prepared to slash at her with his claws again, and Sha’Beel primed herself to dodge…

FWOOSH!

But at the last second, before Sha’Beel could even think to move, the entire area was covered in a sea of dust from the ground, causing her to cough and almost choke from breathing it in.

“Grrrgh!” she hissed, then purred angrily as she rubbed her eyes, now unable to pinpoint Fang’s position due to the small sandstorm she was caught up in. Both her vision and sense of smell were thrown off by the sheer amount of dust in the air.

‘That’s why he took his sweet time crawling around in the dirt. The mutt is smarter than he looks.’

And before she could formulate another thought--

SLASH!

The diamond dog struck her with his claws from the shadows. Once, twice, three times. Four. The front, the back, and the sides. Sha’Beel was repeatedly knocked around like an aimless pinball, staggered by the repeated strikes from Fang’s claws. The wraps that held her breasts in place had been shredded as well, exposing them to multiple sets of diagonal claw wounds.

“RRGH!”

Once the dust had settled, Fang stood away from her with a maniacal grin on his face as he taunted her in a low tone. “...don’t underestimate me…”

“Ptoo,” even with her chest vulnerable, and bleeding from several sets of wounds on her body, Sha’Beel merely spat out some blood onto the dirt next to her. “...I’ve newfound respect for you as a combatant. Unfortunately for you, that doesn’t change what you are.”

“And what might that be?”

“...an emotionally stunted mutt with no sense of self that can’t escape his mother’s teats.”

“...”

Meanwhile…

The fight with Odu was…rather unbalanced…in his favor. Somehow, someway, the blood of the Dragon Lord had pumped him full of so much power that he was able to handle the entire squad of college students alongside an angry goblin. Then again, having been in the Abyssinian military and trained in martial arts…

Made this fight exceedingly difficult for them.

Rufus tried his best to match him blow for blow, his yak hooves barely able to withstand the tiger’s overwhelming power before he was sent flying by a punch.

Spearklip would jump in and, with a quick utterance of a zebra chant that caused her stripes to glow, modified her physical speed to match Odu’s, but it wasn’t enough. Even though she dodged a good deal of his punches, she was grabbed and headbutted so hard that she saw multiple of the tiger’s face before tumbling backwards.

Lee had fired multiple rope darts, tying them around his legs as the daggers jammed into the ground. The material was tough enough that not even Odu’s claws could pierce them, so he retaliated by yanking his foot towards him, pulling the primate woman by force and preparing to deal her a deadly clothesline…

But she was quicker.

With her swift monkey legs, she jumped and flipped over his head, acrobatically dancing above him before flipping around to where her thighs were locked around his neck. To which, he tried to immediately reach up and grab her.

But Uziel saw the opportunity and slammed her mace into his kneecaps, swinging it like a baseball bat. She dealt a blow so strong that it managed to actually pierce through his aura and damage him directly!

“GAHK!”

Uziel took notice of this and cocked an arrogant smile before she was suddenly hit with a sweeping kick that sent her flying into a nearby tree trunk, blood shooting out of her nose as she hit the ground shortly after.

After that, he jumped up, and flipped Lee over before breaking her back over his knee as he slammed her down with a hefty crack!, after which he threw her on the ground and kicked her over to the group. The end result was an emotionless monkey girl with empty eyes as her fingers twitched. Her entire back had been broken in an unnatural arched angle…

“Spear! Lee! Uzi!” Rufus barely managed to recover, and started limping towards the tiger man. “You think you’re hot shit, asshole?!”

“Ruf…” Spearklip was still recovering from the headbutt with her ears ringing and skull damaged. She could barely stand before falling to the ground again. “Rufus…you damn idiot! You can’t do this by yourself!”

Odu had taken a knee as he placed his paw on one of his blooded joints. “Hmph…I’ll admit, the little green menace…was stronger than I expected. But this is why her kind should have been eradicated…I ought to turn her into a paste.”

With a guttural roar, Rufus screamed, “You shut your mouth, cocksucker! She’s not some animal you can crack a whip around! She’s a living being!”

“Hmph…” Odu managed to stand back up, folding his arms, then beckoning Rufus with a wide, almost sadistic grin, “...then prove it to me, yak. Show me that bleeding stubborn heart of your kind, then!”
