PUPS & THE RETURN OF THE CANCER BULLIES

COLLABORATION BETWEEN ELIAS VINCENT & 5UP3RN0V42015

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT MY OC'S

It was a sunny day in Adventure Bay. Angel, Elias & Kelly arrived at Adventure Bay Elementary for another day of school. As usual the other kids swarmed around them as Elias signed autographs & took selfies with everyone.

"Just another ordinary morning" said Angel with an amused chuckle.

"I bet Connor, Amaya, Greg & Koda will be excited to start school here today" said Elias in an eager voice.

"I'd assume that Amaya, Connor & Greg would be in the same classes as Alex. I'm not sure about Koda though. Considering how smart he is there's a likely chance he'll be in some of our classes" said Kelly in an uncertain tone.

"There they are" said Angel as Amaya, Connor, Greg & Koda arrived at school.

"What a crazy adventure it was taking on the night time villains. They never know when to quit" said Koda with a sigh.

"No they don't" said Amaya as she rolled her eyes.

"No matter what we're always ready to take them on" said Connor in a confident manner.

"We'll never let them win" said Greg as Angel, Elias & Kelly walked over.

"Hey guys. Good to see you here ready to begin school" said Elias with enthusiasm in his voice.

"It'll be nice seeing you around school. Do you know what classes you have?" asked Kelly in a curious voice.

"I'd assume we're all in 1ST grade" said Amaya.

"I'm actually going to be in 5TH grade. Sorry that we're not in the same classes" said Koda in an apologetic tone.

"It's OK Koda" said Connor with a reassuring smile.

"We can still hang out at recess. Anyways is it true that you locked your blueprints away?" asked Greg.

"Correct. They'll be unlocked in 100 years" said Koda in an excited manner.

"I had a feeling you'd be in our grade Koda" said Elias.

"I did too. Do you want us to help you find your lockers or shall we wait for Ryder 1ST?" asked Kelly with uncertainty in her voice.

"I guess that we can-" said Koda as he noticed 3 pups approaching.

"Not them" said Koda as he gulped nervously.

"Well, well, well look who it is. We finally found Mr Know It All" said 1 of the pups with a devious grin. Koda began backing away in fear.

"Stay away from me. I don't want any trouble" said Koda in a panicked voice.

"Are those the bullies from California?" asked Elias in a curious tone.

"Yes. I don't know how they found me" said Koda in a nervous manner.

"You 3 better leave Koda alone. If you don't you'll be sorry" said Angel as she growled angrily.

"What are you going to do? Call animal control on us like how your pathetic owner did with Koda?" asked the pup as he pointed to Elias.

"You deserved it for destroying my blueprints Big Boss" said Koda with a scowl of disgust.

"I didn't mean to call animal control on Koda. We didn't learn about his past until after that" said Elias.

"You're making a big mistake showing your faces around here. Ryder's going to be very angry seeing you bully his younger brother" said Kelly as she glared at Big Boss & his friends.

"I'm not scared. Tell him. I don't care" said Big Boss with an arrogant scoff.

"Congratulations. You're officially a moron. You might call yourself Big Boss but you have a small penis. I'd like to see you try & make love with a girl pup with such a tiny noodle" said Angel with snark in her voice.

"Don't provoke him Angel. He'll tear you apart" said Koda in a concerned voice.

"If he lays a paw on me I'll taser him" said Angel in a threatening tone.

"Why do you bully Koda Big Boss? What's your reasoning for it?" asked Elias as he raised an eyebrow in uncertainty.

"He took everything away from me after calling animal control on me & my gang. Once I figure out how I'll return the favour. This isn't over. See you later copycat" said Big Boss as he & his friends left.

"Why does he think you're a copycat?" asked Elias as he tilted his head in confusion.

"He thinks I'm a charlatan who steals from others & passes their ideas off as my own" said Koda with a frustrated sigh.

"I'm shocked. I never would've thought anyone would ever accuse you of doing that" said Elias in a surprised manner.

"Me either. Big Boss is being a jerk. This is his way of exacting revenge" said Koda as he shook his head in annoyance.

"If they get too close for comfort they'll meet the business end of my taser" said Angel.

"Thanks" said Koda as Elias spotted 3 kids he never expected to see again: Devon, Serenity & Zeke.

"What are they doing here?" asked Elias as he pointed to Devon, Serenity & Zeke.

"I don't know. Maybe they want revenge as well" said Kelly with a shrug of uncertainty.

"That's the most likely scenario" said Angel as she nodded in agreement.

"Amaya you, Connor & Greg can head inside. I need to figure out what's up with those 3" said Koda as Amaya, Connor & Greg entered the school building.

"They're the kids myself, Kelly & Ryder had a fight with in Frandella Cove after they mocked me for having cancer" said Elias with disgust in his voice.

"They got the most satisfying ass kicking that day. If they ever had cancer themselves they'd know exactly how it'd feel being in your position" said Kelly as she glared angrily at Devon, Serenity & Zeke.

"They'll regret it if they try to pick another fight" said Angel as Devon, Serenity & Zeke saw Koda with Angel, Elias & Kelly.

"Look at that mangy mutt over there" said Devon in a mocking voice. Koda growled in annoyance & stood on his hind legs much to Devon, Serenity & Zeke's shock.

"Who are you calling a mangy mutt birdbrain?" asked Koda in an annoyed tone.

"Go back to the woods wolf boy" said Serenity with a scoff.

"Don't make me rip your face off" said Koda as Zeke made a squinty eyed face at him.

"Hi I'm Ching Chong Ming. I'm from Japan. I love sushi. Upan higon seng" said Zeke in a mock Japanese accent.

"That's not funny" said Koda in an angry manner.

"Leave him alone" said Elias as he growled.

"Don't make us beat you 3 up again" said Kelly with hostility in her voice.

"Hey I know them" said Devon as he realized who Angel, Elias & Kelly were.

"Aren't they the kids that beat us up months ago?" asked Serenity in an uncertain voice.

"I think so. There was a boy with spiky brown hair with them as well" said Zeke with a nod.

"He's the brother of the wolf you're bullying. I'd back off if I were you" said Angel in a stern tone.

"How can a wolf pup be a brother to a human boy?" asked Devon in a confused manner.

"1ST of all it's an adopted relationship. Do you remember a newspaper article titled "Life Changing Presentation Goes Horribly Wrong"?" asked Koda as Devon, Serenity & Zeke thought about what they'd been told. They then suddenly realized who Koda was.

"You're the kid who was sick weren't you?" asked Serenity with shock in her voice.

"Correct. If it wasn't for Professor Murray I wouldn't be where I am today. I consider it the best thing to ever happen to me. If you know what's good for you I suggest you back off or else I'll tell Ryder about your behavior" said Koda in a blunt voice.

"Oh I'm so scared. Go watch more anime" said Zeke in a sarcastic tone.

"How original… Not" said Koda as he rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"You 3 are treading on extremely thin ice" said Elias with a growl.

"If you continue being nasty you'll have me to answer to" said Angel in a stern manner.

"Also just so you 3 know Ching Chong Ming is more of a Chinese name than a Japanese 1. How do you even know I'm from Japan?" asked Koda as he tilted his head in confusion.

"Because of your accent chink wolf" said Devon with a scoff.

"Cut it out. You're being extremely racist right now" said Kelly in disgust.

"Shut up bitch" said Serenity.

"Don't make me punch your face in" said Kelly as she scowled angrily.

"I'd like to see you try" said Zeke with arrogance in his voice.

"OK you 3 asked for it. Ruff taser gun" said Koda as a taser gun popped out of his pup pack. He aimed it at Devon, Serenity & Zeke.

"Go away before I taser you. Don't make me report you to Principal Summers. What's it going to be?" asked Koda in a harsh voice. Devon, Serenity & Zeke quickly realized Koda wasn't messing around.

"This isn't over" said Devon with a pout.

"We'll get you chink wolf" said Serenity in a menacing tone.

"You better watch your back" said Zeke as Devon, Serenity & himself walked off. Koda then put his taser away.

"They're digging their own graves" said Koda as he shook his head.

"This is reminding me of when I bullied Alex a while back. I was wrong to mistreat him & everyone else the way I did. I learned my lesson & promised never to bully anyone again" said Elias in a regretful manner.

"I'm glad to hear that" said Koda as the bell rang signalling the beginning of the school day.

"We better get to class" said Koda as he & the others headed inside.

"So what were you talking about with Amaya, Connor & Greg?" asked Elias with curiosity in his voice.

"It was about the blueprints I had locked away in a similar manner to that movie that's going to be released in 100 years" said Koda.

"Impressive. Anyways let's get to class. You wouldn't want to be late on your 1ST day" said Elias.

"No I wouldn't" said Koda as Angel, Elias, Kelly & himself headed to class. It was homeroom with Miss Spearwood. As soon as they arrived Miss Spearwood noticed Koda & smiled.

"You must be Koda Shepherd" said Miss Spearwood in a cheerful manner.

"I sure am. It's nice to meet you Miss Spearwood. Ryder has told me a lot about you" said Koda as he shook Miss Spearwood's hand.

"He sure has. Can I have your attention please class?" asked Miss Spearwood as all the kids looked to the front of class.

"We have a new student joining us today & I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you a bit about himself" said Miss Spearwood as Koda cleared his throat. He then addressed everyone.

"Hi I'm Koda Shepherd. I'm Ryder's 5 year old adopted brother. The reason I'm here in 5TH grade with you is because of my high IQ. Quite a few of you have already met me before. The reason I'm a wolf pup is because of a machine malfunction that also cured my leukemia. It's great to be here & I can't wait to get to know you all" said Koda with excitement in his voice.

"Thanks Koda. You can sit at the desk next to mine for today. Once you're all seated we can begin the lesson" said Miss Spearwood as all the students went to sit down. Elias wrote a note detailing what had happened before class with Devon, Serenity & Zeke & handed it to Ryder. Ryder dropped his jaw in shock upon reading it.

"Looks like we have trouble ahead" said Ryder with a sad sigh.

"Indeed. We can get to the bottom of this after school at the Lookout" said Elias as he nodded.

"Good idea" said Ryder as Miss Spearwood announced the assignment.

"For today's lesson I have some worksheets for you to complete. You must answer all the questions on it to the best of your ability. You've got the entire lesson to get it done" said Miss Spearwood as she handed out the worksheets. The questions ranged from maths equations to literature trivia. All the students proceeded to work through every question hoping to get the correct answers. A short time later the worksheets were completed & handed in. Miss Spearwood looked over Koda's sheet & was surprised to see that he answered with the word Apocryphal in relation to a question about G.W Washington cutting down a tree.

"Koda I'm confused about 1 of your answers. Can you explain how you answered this question?" asked Miss Spearwood as she showed Koda the answer she was confused about.

"It's simple. Just like how Sherman described it in the Mr Peabody & Sherman movie the cherry tree being cut down was a trick question. No cherry tree was ever actually cut down. It was made up to teach future generations about lying. The bit about crossing Delaware River is true though. Shortly before I moved here I & my parents visited Delaware River & I fell in when we crossed over it ourselves" said Koda as everyone in class giggled in amusement.

"Impressive. You certainly know your history Koda" said Miss Spearwood with an impressed smile.

"Thanks Miss Spearwood" said Koda in an appreciative voice.

"Let's hope nobody in class picks a fight with Koda over this like how it happened in the movie with Penny & Sherman" said Elias.

"That'd be a disaster" said Kelly.

"I doubt that'll happen" said Ryder in a reassuring tone. Nobody realized that Devon, Serenity & Zeke were in the class sitting in the back row.

"This is ridiculous" said Devon in an annoyed manner.

"I can't believe we're getting outsmarted by a wolf pup" said Serenity as she rolled her eyes.

"There's no way I'm about to let him embarrass us. How about we teach him a lesson he'll never forget?" asked Zeke with a sinister smirk.

"Good idea. Since he's a dog that's how we should treat him" said Devon as he grinned evilly.

"Putting him in his place will be extremely satisfying" said Serenity.

"Soon everyone in school will see him for who he really is" said Zeke as Devon, Serenity & he chuckled while waiting for the right moment to put their plan into motion. The school day passed by without incident up until lunchtime. As all the students sat down to eat in the cafeteria Koda went & sat with the 1ST grade students.

"It's pretty cool to see you here at Adventure Bay Elementary Koda" said Alex with enthusiasm in his voice.

"Thanks Alex. How are things with Mr Porter?" asked Koda in a curious voice.

"He's been doing well. Thanks for asking" said Alex with a smile.

"It's a shame you're not in the same classes as us Koda" said Winnie in a disappointed tone.

"Considering how smart he is any test in 1ST grade would be way too easy for him" said Alex.

"Exactly" said Koda as he nodded in agreement.

"So what did Ryder make you for lunch?" asked Alex as Koda opened his lunchbox.

"He packed me some baby carrots, organic apple juice & a tuna sandwich. It's good for your intelligence" said Koda in an eager manner.

"So you eat human food do you?" asked Devon as he, Serenity & Zeke appeared behind Koda. Koda shook his head & packed his lunch away before confronting Devon, Serenity & Zeke.

"What do you 3 want? Don't make me report you to Principal Summers" said Koda with a scowl.

"I'm surprised your lunch isn't dog kibble" said Serenity with condescension in her voice.

"Eat on the floor like a good dog" said Zeke in a mocking voice.

"Go away" said Julius in an annoyed tone.

"You're not being funny" said Justina as she glared angrily at Devon, Serenity & Zeke.

"We'll tell on you if you don't leave us alone" said Amaya in a threatening manner.

"You'll get in trouble for being nasty to Koda" said Connor.

"Don't make this any harder on yourself" said Greg.

"We're not scared. Seize him" said Devon as Serenity put her hands around Koda's throat while Zeke restrained his limbs to stop him from breaking free. This act caught the attention of everyone in the cafeteria.

"Alex go get Principal Summers" said Koda as he gasped for air. Alex ran off to inform Principal Summers about what happened as Devon began punching Koda in the stomach.

"You think you're so smart don't you? You're not. I bet you looked up the answers to all the questions online last night. You're a pathetic know it all who steals other people's ideas & passes it off as your own" said Devon as he continued assaulting Koda. A few minutes later he stopped & Serenity & Zeke released Koda.

"Look at you. Koda Shepherd you're a show off. Let's go guys" said Devon as he, Serenity & Zeke turned to leave. Suddenly Koda tackled Devon to the ground & began viciously biting & scratching him as everyone else watched in horror.

"KODA STOP. SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOMETHING" cried Winnie with shock in her voice.

"I'll handle this" said Ryder as he ran over & pulled Koda off Devon.

"LET ME GO. HE NEEDS TO PAY FOR WHAT HE DID" yelled Koda as he tried to break Ryder's hold.

"Koda calm down. This isn't the right way to handle the situation" said Ryder as Alex returned with Principal Summers.

"What's going on in here?" asked Principal Summers in a stern voice.

"Devon, Serenity & Zeke were bullying Koda. Elias passed me a note in 1ST period detailing what they did to Koda before school. The 3 of them are jealous of his intelligence" said Ryder.

"He's right. It's not the 1ST time Angel, I, Kelly & Ryder dealt with those 3. When we were in Frandella Cove for my operation they mocked me for having cancer triggering a fight. We ended up giving them exactly what they deserved" said Elias as he scowled angrily.

"I think that incident is also a factor in what's happening right now" said Kelly as silence filled the cafeteria. Principal Summers then turned to Devon, Serenity & Zeke.

"I'd like to see you 3 in my office right now" said Principal Summers in a blunt tone.

"You're all dead meat" said Devon in an angry manner.

"We'll get you for this" said Serenity as she clenched her fists.

"Not even home is safe for you" said Zeke with malice in his voice.

"You don't scare me" said Koda as Devon; Serenity & Zeke were taken to Principal Summers' office.

"Are you OK Koda?" asked Ryder in a concerned voice.

"I am now. I feel a bit sore but it's not that bad. Am I in trouble for attacking Devon?" asked Koda in a shaky tone.

"No. We've all got your back" said Ryder with a reassuring smile.

"Indeed. Everyone in school is a witness to what just happened. We're all going to support you in this" said Elias in a comforting manner.

"As long as we are around those 3 won't be making your life miserable" said Kelly as she pet Koda.

"Thanks" said Koda as he burst into tears.

"All I wanted to do was attend school with you guys. What have I done to deserve this?" asked Koda as tears ran down his face.

"Come here little brother" said Ryder as he gave Koda a hug.

"It's like California all over again. I don't want to keep being treated like this" said Koda with sadness in his voice.

"I don't like it either. You don't deserve this poor treatment from anyone" said Ryder.

"It'll be OK Koda. Together we'll stand strong & not let anyone walk all over you" said Elias in a confident voice.

"If Devon, Serenity & Zeke continue bullying others I'll put them through something much worse than what Lindsay Remington endured" said Kelly as she growled.

"Who's Lindsay Remington?" asked Koda as he tilted his head in confusion.

"She was a pop diva that came to Adventure Bay to collaborate with me on some acting & music projects. She wasn't a very nice person at all. She referred to everyone else in town as commoner peasants, lashed out at Mayabella because she accidentally bumped into her, got into a fight with a girl at a charity event & was extremely difficult to work with" said Elias with a sigh.

"I got so fed up with her behavior that I cut off all her hair, destroyed all her stuff & posted a video of the fight at the charity event on social media. She subsequently went through a major fall from grace that resulted in her losing her career & her voice. She ran away after that & nobody knows what happened to her since then" said Kelly.

"I bet she's probably plotting revenge on you" said Koda in a concerned tone.

"I doubt that's going to happen. "Let's get you to the nurse's office" said Ryder as Angel, Elias, Kelly, Koda & himself headed to Nurse Leslie's office.

"What do you think will happen to Devon, Serenity & Zeke?" asked Elias in an uncertain manner.

"I hope they get suspended or even expelled" said Kelly with disgust in her voice.

"We'll find out soon enough" said Ryder as they continued towards the nurse's office. Suddenly they saw Devon approaching with some animal control employees.

"That's the mad dog that attacked me indiscriminately" said Devon as he pointed at Koda.

"WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS?" cried Koda & Ryder in shock.

"Hand him over or we'll take him by force" said the 1ST animal control employee in a firm voice.

"No. You're not taking him away from me" said Ryder as he held Koda in his arms.

"Don't make this any harder than it has to be" said the 2ND animal control employee with a sigh of frustration.

"Devon provoked Koda into attacking him. It's his own fault" said Elias as he glared at Devon.

"Serenity & Zeke also provoked Koda. Everyone in school is a witness" said Kelly with a nod of agreement.

"Do you have any proof?" asked the 1ST employee.

"It's here in my pup tag" said Koda as Devon dropped his jaw in shock.

"I have a camera in it that records things for evidence" said Koda as Devon ran off knowing that he'd been caught lying.

"It was another false alarm" said the 2ND employee in an annoyed tone.

"I take it that happens a lot correct?" asked Koda in a curious manner.

"Yes. It's a waste of our time" said the 1ST employee with anger in his voice.

"We apologize for the misunderstanding. Carry on as usual" said the 2ND employee as he & his colleague left. Angel, Elias, Kelly, Koda & Ryder continued walking to Nurse Leslie's office.

"Looks like Devon isn't as smart as he thinks" said Angel with a scoff.

"I bet Serenity & Zeke are on the same level of intelligence as him" said Ryder as he rolled his eyes.

"I'll say" said Koda.

"Calling you a know-it-all proved how much of a hypocrite he truly is" said Elias in a disgusted voice.

"Tell me about it. When my parents sent me here to live with Ryder they said it'd put an end to this awful behavior" said Koda with a sad sigh.

"We'll make sure to put a stop to it once & for all" said Ryder in a reassuring tone.

"Devon, Serenity & Zeke can act stupidly all they want. In the end they're only making themselves look bad" said Kelly as everyone arrived at Nurse Leslie's office. They went inside to have Koda treated for his injuries. The rest of the school day went by without any further incidents. After school Koda headed to the pet parlor to get his hair done again. As Katie flat ironed his hair Koda vented his frustrations about what had happened at lunch.

"Those 3 jerks had some nerve attacking me. Don't you agree Cali?" asked Koda as Cali meowed & nodded in agreement.

"I agree too" said Katie as she shook her head in annoyance.

"As if that's not bad enough Big Boss & his gang have followed me here from California. I honestly hoped never to see them again" said Koda with a frustrated sigh.

"I'm glad Devon, Serenity & Zeke didn't get away with what they did" said Katie.

"So am I. I still think they'll continue harassing me though" said Koda in an annoyed manner.

"That wouldn't surprise me" said Katie as Cali meowed in agreement.

"Honestly today couldn't possibly get worse" said Koda as a woman entered the pet parlor & walked over to Cali, Katie & Koda.

"Are you Koda Shepherd?" asked the woman.

"Yes. Who are you?" asked Koda with curiosity in his voice.

"I'm Devon's mother" said the woman.

"Nice to meet you" said Koda in a polite voice.

"How dare you attack my son indiscriminately" said Devon's mother in a furious tone.

"What are you talking about?" asked Koda in an uncertain manner.

"Devon told me how he went to say hello to you at lunch during school upon which you called him a bully & lashed out on him" said Devon's mother with disgust in her voice.

"He is a bully" said Koda as he rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"It's true" said Katie with a nod of agreement.

"I'll sue for defamation if you continue to lie about my son" said Devon's mother in a threatening voice.

"You can ask Elias Vincent, Kelly Walter & my brother Ryder about what happened today. They'll tell you the exact same thing. Everyone in school saw what Devon, Serenity & Zeke did" said Koda.

"I was there & I saw everything. Devon, Serenity & Zeke are bullies" said Katie.

"You can't prove it" said Devon's mother with an arrogant scoff.

"Actually I can" said Koda as he pressed his pup tag. It showed a hologram of the incident in the cafeteria. Devon's mother watched in shock as the events played out in front of her. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"This is raw footage. It hasn't been edited at all" said Koda in a confident tone.

"Devon's in so much trouble. I can't believe he lied to me. He, Serenity & Zeke won't get away with this" said Devon's mother in a disgusted manner.

"No they won't" said Koda as he shook his head.

"I apologize for jumping to conclusions" said Devon's mother with remorse in her voice.

"It's OK. At least it's blown over now" said Koda in relief.

"No not exactly. I've already called child protective services" said Devon's mother as she gulped nervously.

"WHAT? You've got to be kidding" said Katie as she & Koda dropped their jaws in shock.

"That was before I learned the truth about what happened" said Devon's mother.

"This isn't good" said Koda in a nervous voice.

"I think you should discipline Devon for his dishonesty" said Katie as Koda gave Devon's mother his pup tag.

"If Devon tries to lie again use this to prove it" said Koda.

"Thanks. See you later" said Devon's mother as she left to discipline Devon.

"I better tell the others about this" said Koda as he headed back to the Lookout to inform Angel, Elias, Kelly, Ryder & the pups about the new developments in the drama. They reassured him that everything would be OK. The remainder of the day went by seemingly as normal. That night Ryder called Koda into his room. Koda gasped in shock upon being told that he was grounded.

"Why am I getting grounded? What have I done?" asked Koda in a confused tone.

"You attacked Devon. You're not allowed to go on any missions for 2 weeks & I'm also confiscating your ATV" said Ryder in a firm manner.

"No not my ATV. Please don't do this" said Koda as he began to tear up.

"You should've controlled your temper" said Ryder with a sigh.

"YOU LIED. YOU SAID I WASN'T IN TROUBLE. HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?" yelled Koda as he burst into tears.

"Koda calm down" said Ryder.

"NO. I HATE YOU. LEAVE ME ALONE" yelled Koda as he stormed out of the room. Ryder sat in silence as he began to cry while contemplating the situation. Koda ended up in Chase's pup house with Chase trying to console him.

"I don't think Ryder meant for this to happen" said Chase with reassurance in his voice.

"He lied to me Chase. Ryder never lies" said Koda in a disgusted voice.

"He only lied so that your 1ST day of school wouldn't have been ruined" said Chase as he gave Koda a hug.

"That's no excuse. It's not fair. Devon, Serenity & Zeke are going to pay for this" said Koda in an angry tone.

"Koda calm down. That'll only make things worse. Ryder loves you with all his heart but when you do something wrong he must take disciplinary action" said Chase.

"I guess you're right. I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. Thinking about the bullies makes me mad. Can I sleep in here with you? I'm too upset with Ryder to sleep with him" said Koda as he sighed sadly.

"That's fine with me. Goodnight Koda" said Chase as he & Koda settled down to sleep.

"Goodnight Chase" said Koda as he snuggled up with Chase. A short time later they both fell asleep.
