Animal manip battle (Fluttershy vs Ratcatcher 2)

[Peppersalt43]

More specifically, what animals? We'd need ones that can effectively fight a horde of rats capable of restraining a human. I doubt any larger ones are a possibility, so a smaller animal that inhabits labs in numbers larger than rats would have been required. That's quite a specific condition.

Lab rats aren't exactly the most aggressive type of rat and even if they are, I'm tentatively sure there won't be enough of them in a single lab to completely overwhelm multiple large animals or another swarm of small animals. Maybe enough to keep them from attacking Ratcatcher 2 and even then, it's all based on availability and choice.

Oh, and primates and rabbits are also used in labs. Rabbits are probably the second most common lab animal and while they're not combat savvy at all, Fluttershy can probably convince them to incapacitate or just distract her opponent via smothering or something. Due to various factors such as availability, room layout, individual strength, etc, this can go in many direction

I'd argue that Ratcatcher's device makes rats bloodlusted.

A lab with equal amount of rabbits and rats? Yeah, that's quite likely. I would still give Cleo an edge due to superior combat skills, but it's still closer to incon than I initially thought then.

Well that means incon is still viable which is great because grace is over and I'll be adding this

End of story

Amanda hid behind her table, the sound of her soldiers' frightful screams heard behind the door. She desperately tried to recall what went wrong in that mission. It all started when she sent Ratcatcher 2 into that lab. She never got the footage but all she knew is that in one moment, as if via magic, Cleo's bomb stopped working. And now here she hid in fear that she would hunt her down and she certainly did. The news report in her office explained that every small animal in the city has gathered up in Belle Reeve, seemingly looking for something. Banging on the ventilation indicated that they've finally breached through and soon Amanda was taken before any drastic actions could be taken.

Director Waller awoke to find herself in a sewer, countless animals, mostly rats and rabbits looming over her. Next to her were the many S.T.A.R Labs administrators who were also just as trapped as her. "Cleo! Show yourself! We need to talk!" demanded Amanda, a gun with one bullet present in her pocket. Her calls were answered by two creatures, a rat in a vest and a white rabbit with a scowl.

"Rat Noises (She's not here! She's enjoying the life she deserved)" said Sebastian.
"Rabbit Noises (And we're taking away the life that you don't!)" added Angel.

Meanwhile outside the sewers, Cleo and Fluttershy were at a carnival eating ice cream after enjoying a number of games.

"I haven't been able to eat this since I got in prison. It still tastes delicious" said Ratcatcher 2 before biting into her rocky road ice cream.
"You should try the green tea flavor then" replied the veterinary student.

"Nah, I don't wanna be too full for the Jaws ride".
"Speaking of which, where's Angel and Sebastian? I'm worried for them".

"Oh don't worry, I sent them off to run an errand. They'll be back" replied Cleo with a grin. Back at the sewers, the place where the animals kept their prisoners was now empty, save for a few rats and human skeletons.
