Welcome to the bat-pocolypse, as I show you another one.
And some lore. I’ll post more later
Part One: Spaghetti Academy
Cauliflower was the “king” bat’s best friend, and and the better fighter of the two. From a young age, they fought and learned side by side at Spaghetti academy, a prestigious but intense school, where their motto was “survival of the fittest.” At the academy, you would learn things that a normal academy would teach, like math and science, but also you would develop a specialized combat skill. Students would be expelled if they fell behind in schoolwork or if they died in a duel (yes, they dueled to the death). Students were not allowed to work with other students unless they were clever enough to hide it from the teachers (which was no easy task). But the king, which was his nickname in school, was a genius. Unfortunately for the king, he was terrible in a fight, and only made it through his first few duels by sheer dumb luck. Cauliflower on the other hand… had the opposite problem. Cauliflower was a masterful fighter, and a ruthless killer, quickly dispatching any student he came across, but his academic skills were… lacking. The two of them were friends before they were both sent to the academy, but when they learned they would not be allowed to work together, the king was devastated. Cauliflower on the other hand, was silent. He knew that he would do what he had to. But the king was smart, probably the smartest creature there (they accepted students of all species), so he figured out a way for them to still work together and be friends. Cauliflower, less out of compassion for his friend and more because he saw an opportunity, agreed to the King’s plan. The plan basically boiled down to the King exploring the campus in the first few weeks and finding the best places to train without being seen. He also studied guard shifts, teachers, and students, learning all the best ways to defeat all of them. Stage two of the plan was for the King to tutor Cauliflower, and for Cauliflower to mentor the king in dueling skills, All in the secret locations the King found. Even with the teachers constantly on their tails due to suspicions from sudden grade spikes for Cauliflower and the King’s sudden knack for dueling, the pair always managed to stay three steps ahead of them, thanks to the King. However, there was one major problem: another young bat, named Schnitzel. Schnitzel was the only student that even came close to the King in intellect, and he wasn’t too bad at combat either. Schnitzel became increasingly suspicious of the pair, and consistently worked with the teachers to try and take them down. The king was well aware of this though, and would often taunt him. Finally, after 7 years at the academy, only four students remained: the King, Cauliflower, Schnitzel, and Schnitzels goon, a Vortixx named Smesh. These four were the only graduates of their year. Nobody really understood how Smesh graduated, because everyone thought he was an idiot. But somehow he managed to maintain a passing grade, and he was definitely no slouch at combat, gutting every student he ever fought, even fighting Cauliflower to a stalemate once. The king, of course, graduated top of the class, with schnitzel being second in academics, and Cauliflower was top of combat.
