Adelgund

Adelgund being "The Mayor" at the Masato Match.

Adelgund is a major character in Part 2 of Furry Fight Cronicles as the Masato Champion and member of Team Executor, facing Muko and Nyarai at the Masato Match. Originally a Face Combagal, Adelgund becomes a Heel by mutilating her former partner, Peki Polight, for betraying Team Executor to team up with Nyarai. She loses her fans, her status as a Face, and ultimately her belt at the hands (or feet to be specific) of Nyarai. Her defeat becomes the catalyst of Muko's character development as she realizes that furry fighting has a deeper meaning than fanservice.

## Background

Back when Adelgund debuted with Peki in Team Executor, she was the weak link of the team. Because of her masculine appearance and her lack of control over her super strength, Adelgund drove fans and rivals away. Peki comforted her by giving her advice on how to control her strength. Adelgund followed Peki's advice, which lead to an increase of popularity for Team Executor, eventually reaching its peak when they became the Masato Champions in 1994. It is implied that Adelgund and Peki started a relationship before or after they earned their belts.

In 1995, Team Executor suffered a loss of fans. Dinedon, the manager of Team Executor pointed out that Peki is at fault since the public was growing wary of Wilds. He suggested that Peki should become a Heel by trying to steal Adelgund's belt. Peki was against the idea, but Adelgund accepted in her place. She then faced Peki in a solo match that she won, causing Peki to lose her Face status, reputation, and belt.

As a result of her victory, Adelgund became self-absorbed due to the increase of popularity she got. She was the main fighter of the team while Peki became a jobber, making Adelgund more popular with each victory. After one of their matches in 1996, Peki complained about the bruises she received against the Combagals she fought. However, Adelgund dismissively told Peki to bear it for the sake of the team since they got to win by disqualification victories, hurting her feelings. Adelgund later got a team of cheerleaders in the Exe-Cutie-Ves, which caused Peki more distress, feeling that Adelgund was cheating on her.

Eventually, even with Adelgund's popularity, Team Executor kept getting less fans in their recent matches in 1997. This caused Dinedon to accept a request for a match against Cookie L'Asagne and her two Combagals for her return to furry fighting.

## Personality

As admitted by Adelgund, she and Muko have a lot in common. Both of them are perverted, but they also show great loyalty to their teams, and a desire for justice. Adelgund quickly noted the similarities between herself and Muko upon reading the Spotter detailing the fight at Cafe Carrots with Kalita. Despite the article being dedicated to slandering Muko, Adelgund could see that Muko had good intentions, being one of the few who didn't think less of Muko for her development in that fight.

Adelgund tends to be friendly and jovial when outside of the ring. She likes going to bars to drink and watch the strippers dance. She doesn't hesitate to make one of the strippers the latest member of the Exe-Cutie-Ves if she took a fancy to her. She's a bit of a flirt as she flirts with Muko during the fight and gives Nyarai a playful pat on the back as an apology for saying that she preferred Muko over her.

Despite her positive reception, Adelgund has some personality flaws that differ from how she's portrayed as an idol of justice. This is seen by her lusting over a stripper and making her one of her cheerleaders despite being in a relationship with Peki. She even flirts with Muko and kisses her cheek, much to the rabbit's horror.

Adelgund strongly believes in loyalty to one's team, which is why she follows Dinedon's orders without complaints, from turning Peki into a Heel to losing a match if it means Peki is her Face partner again. She's disgusted about Nyarai betraying Team Deliverance, having Muko fight the cheetah as punishment for her betrayal. She does have a sense of responsibility, getting mad when Nyarai brutalizes Muko and avenging the bunny by knocking Nyarai out.

Back when Adelgund first became a Combagal, she had low self-esteem due to her masculine appearance and lack of control over her strength. Upon becoming one of the Masato Champions thanks to Peki, Adelgund became more confident. This confidence made her insensitive to Peki's feelings, as she agreed to have her become a Heel despite Peki's disgust at the idea. As Adelgund became the symbol of justice, she became more insensitive by ignoring Peki's injuries and telling her that she needs to put up with it for the sake of the team. She also didn't hesitate in looking at other girls and verbally expressing her attraction to them.

Adelgund shows a refusal or inability to understand her mistakes right away if she feels like she's the one in the right. She believes that Peki betrayed her despite having forced her into a Heel. She also tries to make excuses when Peki confronted her about her infidelity with Miho. When things go badly for her, Adelgund took extreme measures by breaking Peki's arm and then she broke her legs out of scorn, showing that she has a vengeful side to her.

Despite her negative traits, Adelgund has standards, reacting with horror and guilt when Nyarai snaps her own spine, making Adelgund think that she crippled her opponent. She also recognizes that her actions at the Masato Match made her a Heel, sacrificing herself to prevent Muko from fighting Nyarai. Even with Nyarai's actions, Adelgund voiced her joy at being defeated by a bigger predator, showing that she has a competitive side and good sportsmanship. Because of Adelgund's sacrifice, Muko decided to become a better Combagal.

## Appearance

Adelgund is a German shepherd Combagal who has an androgynous appearance thanks to her masculine face and body. She's a giant with muscular limbs and a bit of a belly, reflecting a body type suited for a strength focused fighter. Adelgund has blonde hair that runs down her neck and a hair style that resembles a messy military hairstyle. She has brown fur and a lighter brown shade for the underside.

When fighting as a Combagal, Adelgund has a cop styled outfit. She wears badges, combat boots, and fingerless gloves to reflect her status as a symbol of justice in Masato.

## Abilities

### Furry Fighting Abilities

As the Masato Champion, Adelgund's abilities are above those of an average Combagal. Besides her size and strength, Adelgund has a vast amount of experience that made her an invincible champion for years and a symbol of justice for Masato that lasted until the infamous Masato Match.

#### Strength

Thanks to her size, Adelgund has super strength above the ones developed by Combagals. She was so strong that she accidentally hurt her rivals because of her lack of control. Upon mastering her strength, Adelgund was easily able to make a winning streak, culminating in Team Executor becoming the Masato Champions. Despite her mastery, Adelgund can occasionally lose control of her strength, as seen when she accidentally hurt Nyarai by patting her on the back.

In a fight, Adelgund can knock out Combagals with a single blow, place them in nigh-inescapable holds thanks to her size and power, and easily break limbs.

#### Durability

Besides her strength, Adelgund's size gives her good durability. She was the most active member of the Masato Match, having fought against all three Combagals that were in the ring. Despite Peki giving her a brutal beating, Adelgund countered by grabbing her fist and breaking her arm, showing a great recovery rate. Even when fighting Nyarai in their second encounter, Adelgund withstood a kick to the gut and countered with a knee to the face and a downward forearm strike to pin her to the mat, showing that she could fight at dull strength during extended periods of time. Despite reaching her limit by getting her arms paralyzed, Adelgund was able to block many of Nyarai's kicks when using Leg Jet Burst, standing firm until Nyarai broke her guard and her jaw with a final blow.

#### Entertainer

Thanks to mastering her strength, Adelgund is an expert in kayfabe. She can easily perform techniques that look and sound real while minimizing the damage. When using her Dog Drop on Muko, the bunny Combagal notices that she wasn't hurt, realizing that the sound came from Adelgund slamming her arm in the mat. Adelgund is also an expert in selling, the practice of taking a blow with minimal damage while making it look real. She took a dropkick and a clothesline from Muko to make her look strong while avoiding damage to herself.

## History

### Act 1

#### Part 2

##### Meeting Team Deliverance

Adelgund comes alongside Dinedon and Peki to meet Team Deliverance, their future adversaries in their debut fight. As it turns out, Cookie wants to make her return to furry fighting by having her Combagals defeat Team Executor in the first match so that her team of Combagals can have a good debut fight. Adelgund remains silent in the conversation, being distracted by the strippers working at the club. She does react silently when Cookie bribes Dinedon to let them win the match and gets depressed when Trilamity Day is mentioned.

Once Dinedon accepts Cookie's bribe, the squirrel tells Team Executor her plan to make all parties at the Masato Match feel satisfied with the outcome. The plot line of *The Major* and *The Prisoner* ran its course, meaning that the fans were not as invested in matches of Team Executor as they were before. As such, Cookie's plot had Team Deliverance defeat **Adelgund**, giving Peki the chance of redeeming herself to become a Face team again. Adelgund is thrilled at having Peki be her Face partner again, not noticing the penguin's discomfort.

After the meeting is done, Adelgund gets distracted by Miho, an attractive stripper, doing a pole dance. As Nyarai and Cookie are discussing about a Spotter article painting Muko as a perverted amateur due to her loss against Kalita at Cafe Carrots, Adelgund takes Nyarai's phone and reads the article. She reads enough of the article to get a good impression of Muko before Nyarai takes her phone back. Adelgund says that she likes Muko better than Nyarai. She then apologizes to the cheetah, patting her back with enough strength to knock the air out of her. Adelgund then goes to spend more time with Miho.

After Muko arrives, Cookie presents Team Executor to her. Muko is dismayed at Adelgund being too masculine for her taste. Once the reunion finishes, Miho brings Adelgund to a private room and services her. Unknown to Adelgund, Peki was watching the whole thing. Once she finished her session with Miho, Adelgund invited her to become a member of the Exe-Cutie-Ves.

##### Masato Match: Versus Muko

Adelgund makes her entrance at the last fight of the Masato Match. She makes a good entrance, enjoying the cheers of the crowd. After taking her belt, the commentators point out that defeating Adelgund will end the match instantly, making the new winner the Masato Champion. Muko is the first member of Team Deliverance to step into the ring, annoyed that her first fight will be against an unattractive Combagal. She changes her mind to being afraid once Adelgund enters the ring, making her realize the gap between them by the way Adelgund stands in front of her.

As the bell rings, Muko races towards Adelgund to start the fight. Adelgund picks up Muko to slam her to the canvas with her Dog Drop technique. To Muko's surprise, she sees that she isn't injured, figuring out that Adelgund created a sound effect by slapping her arm into the canvas. Adelgund flirts with Muko, telling her that it's not fun if she's doing all the work. However, this causes Muko to get scared of her.

Adelgund starts manhandling Muko. The scared bunny tries to tag Nyarai in, but the cheetah ignores her, allowing **Adelgund** to catch her. Adelgund starts spinning Muko around and then puts her in a pin when she approaches the Exe-Cutie-Ves. As the referee starts counting, Adelgund tells Muko to put more effort, kissing her in the cheek. Muko screams in fear and disgust, breaking Adelgund's hold with a kick to the face.

After recovering her composure, Muko hits Adelgund with a dropkick and clothesline combo. However, Adelgund takes the blows and pretends to be hurt by them to make Muko look like a strong Combagal. She then stands up and tags Peki in. Before Muko can fight Peki, Nyarai has the bunny tag her in.

##### Masato Match: Versus Nyarai

Just as the two Wilds were about to land their first blows on each other, Shun Gonfano enters the stadium, declaring the match a farce. Adelgund orders her Exe-Cutie-Ves to arrest Shun. However, Shun brought the Cyclone Crushers to be his bodyguards. He then plays a tape recorder that proves that the match is rigged. Adelgund's voice saying how she likes Muko better than Nyarai is played. Fortunately for Adelgund, the crowd's ire is drawn towards Cookie rather than her.

Shun tells Nyarai and Peki to punish Cookie, Muko, and Adelgund for dishonoring furry fighting. Nyarai, who already worked for Shun, immediately joins his cause and offers Peki to do the same. Adelgund orders Peki to stay in Team Executor, but Peki refuses to live in Adelgund's shadow any longer. Once Peki joins Nyarai, Team Firestorm is created.

Due to her partner leaving her, Adelgund makes Muko the latest member of Team Executor, making her fight Nyarai. The decision backfires since Nyarai outclasses Muko in fighting, taking the chance to break her physically and emotionally. Once Muko breaks down in tears, Adelgund comforts Cookie and enters the ring. She tags Muko in, telling her that she can grow stronger as she prepares to face Nyarai.

Nyarai dashes to Adelgund's legs, intending to grab her ankles to make her fall. Adelgund responds with a powerful knee to the face that causes a heavy nosebleed in the cheetah. Adelgund mocks Nyarai for thinking that going for her ankles was a good idea, informing the cheetah that she's not the first one to try that move on her. As Nyarai gets out of the ring, Adelgund enjoys the cheers of the crowd. Nyarai tags Peki in and then passes out, turning the next fight into one between former partners.

##### Masato Match: Versus Peki

Once the fight starts, Adelgund is on a disadvantaged position since Peki's smaller frame gives her the speed and agility to escape Adelgund's blows, and her knowledge of Adelgund's fighting style allows the penguin to counter with powerful strikes. Thanks to outside interference of the Exe-Cutie-Ves, Adelgund captures Peki in a bear hug, intending to punish the penguin for her betrayal. As she squeezes harder, she asks for answers, causing Peki to punch Adelgund in the face and declare that she betrayed her first.

Peki fights Adelgund using her original boxing style from her *Punching Peki* days. Adelgund is overwhelmed by Peki's technique as she uses footwork to advance close to her and knock her in the air with a punch to the gut. Adelgund demands to know why she left Team Executor since she was going to return to being a Face had they stuck to Cookie's plan. Peki angrily tells Adelgund that she saw her with Miho, demanding to know if the other members of the Exe-Cutie-Ves slept with her to become cheerleaders. Adelgund attempts to deflect and deny her guilt, but this enrages Peki, who pummels Adelgund into the canvas, making her bleed.

Just as Peki is about to finish Adelgund, the Masato Champion grabs her flipper and breaks it, much to everybody's horror. Peki's screams of pain awaken Nyarai, who demands to be tagged in. Filled with heartbreak, Adelgund stomps on Peki's leg. The referee attempts to stop **Adelgund**, but she smacks him away to break Peki's other leg. Because of her cruelty, Adelgund loses the love of her fans, who start cheering for Peki instead. Eventually, Peki reaches Nyarai, who prepares to defeat Adelgund in a rematch.

##### Masato Match: Defeat

Adelgund exchanges a few words with Nyarai, who acknowledges her strength. Nyarai throws a kick into Adelgund's gut. Adelgund complements Nyarai for her powerful kick, but she grabs her by the earrings to give her a knee to the face before slamming her into the canvas. She then uses her knee on Nyarai's back to pin her down while she uses her arms to grab one of Nyarai's legs and her earrings. With her Spine Breaker hold complete, Adelgund demands Nyarai to give up unless she gets crippled.

Nyarai dares Adelgund to pull off her threat, but she gets disappointed with the Masato Champion when she realizes that she she was bluffing. Nyarai breaks her own spine to escape the Spine Breaker, horrifying Adelgund as she never attempted to hurt Nyarai. She is then shocked and further horrified when Adelgund reveals that she's fine, showcasing her flexibility by twisting her body in different ways before announcing her invincibility to submission holds.

Nyarai unleashes her full strength by using Leg Jet Burst. She throws a super fast kick, horrifying Adelgund as she sees Nyarai's foot a few inches from her face before she can guard. The kick pushes Adelgund away. She raises her guard up as Nyarai throws more kicks with increasing power and acceleration. Adelgund is incapable of moving, standing in one place as she attempts to block all the kicks. Muko attempts to tag in to protect Adelgund, much to Cookie's disapproval, pointing out that Adelgund became a Heel by her actions in the previous fight. Muko defends Adelgund's honor, pointing out how she never hurt her in their match. This moves Adelgund, who refuses to tag Muko in to protect her.

At this point, Adelgund's arms are paralyzed from taking multiple kicks. Nyarai charges for the final blow. Seeing her defeat ahead, Adelgund tasks Muko to watch the end of the fight to learn the true essence of furry fighting. She acknowledges Nyarai as the winner of the fight, saying that her favorite thing about furry fighting is facing a bigger predator. Nyarai jumps into the air, saying goodbye to Adelgund before throwing a kick that breaks her jaw and knocks her unconscious.

Thanks to the impact of the final kick, Adelgund's body flies in the air before landing lifelessly into the canvas. Nyarai then stomps on her face to celebrate her victory. Shun then crowns Nyarai the Masato Champion as the Exe-Cutie-Ves surround Adelgund's body and cry over her.

##### Aftermath

After the match is over, Muko quits furry fighting out of guilt for being unable to protect Adelgund and shame for her poor reasons for taking the sport. When Cookie convinces Muko to return to furry fighting two weeks later, Saniko, Muko's older sister, points out that Adelgund has a concussion and a broken jaw.

#### Part 3

##### Legacy

Although she doesn't appear because of her defeat and current medical condition, Adelgund gets mentioned a few times in Part 3. Cookie brings up Adelgund's sacrifice at the Masato Match when Muko wants to put on a mask that she found at Ida's workshop. She points out that the mask will make her a Heel Combagal, which will disrespect Adelgund's memory. Feeling guilty, Muko reluctantly places the mask back in place. Ironically, Muko ends up becoming a Heel due to her reputation being too damaged to become a Face.

Mellow later brings Adelgund's fight with Nyarai to convince the latter that he became her fan. He points out that Nyarai's fight against **Adelgund** felt like watching Freydar fight. Nyarai doesn't believe Mellow, but she's still amused at the compliments he threw at her.

## Fighting Style

As a the Masato Champion, Adelgund has lots of experience as a fighter and entertainer. She can give and receive powerful blows while minimizing the impact, deceiving the audience into thinking that the attacks inside the ring are more powerful than they actually are. Only a select few, like the Exe-Cutie-Ves can see when Adelgund is holding back when attacking.

Taking advantage of her size and the strength that comes with it, Adelgund gives powerful blows and near-inescapable holds. A single knee strike from Adelgund was capable of bloodying Nyarai's nose and knock her out. When using her full strength, Adelgund easily broke Peki's arm despite receiving a beatdown from her.

Despite these advantages, Adelgund has trouble defending herself from opponents who outclass her in speed and agility, as seen in her fights with Peki and Nyarai.

### Techniques

* Dog Drop: Adelgund picks up her opponent and slams them to the mat. She used it against Muko at the Masato Match.
* Cradle: Adelgund uses her arms to pin an opponent's upper body and lifts the leg as well. She uses it against Muko at the Masato Match.
* Double Axe Handle: Adelgund cups her hands together and slams them down in an attempt to crush her opponent.
* Roundhouse Kick: Adelgund swings her leg in an arc to kick her opponent. Because of her size, she can actually try to hit an opponent who is standing on top of the corner.
* Bear Hug: Adelgund grabs her opponent with both arms and squeezes them in a hug. The hold is designed to suffocate the victims and make them suffer by tightening the hold. She uses this technique against Peki.
* Figure Four Armlock: Adelgund grabs the elbow of an opponent with one hand and uses the other hand to shove the opponent's hand backwards. Due to her strenght, Adelgund can easily break the arm of her opponent. She uses this technique to defeat Peki.
* Knee Lift: Adelgund raises her leg to smash the opponent in the face with her knee. She uses this technique to defeat Nyarai in their first fight at the Masato Match.
* Knee Smash Facebreaker: Adelgund pulls the opponent towards her and gives them a knee to the face. She uses this against Nyarai in their second fight.
* Spine Breaker: Adelgund uses her knee to pin an opponent to the ground by setting it on their spine. Then she grabs a leg with one hand and the head with the other. This is her strongest move, which she attempted to use to intimidate Nyarai into giving up. The cheetah manages to escape by breaking her spine and rearranging it to fight again.
* Guard: Adelgund uses her large arms as a shield to defend against strikes. She uses this technique to defend against Nyarai's Leg Jet Burst, but she's ultimately overwhelmed.

## Furry Fighting Career

Adelgund joined Team Executor early in her career. She didn't have a good start since her masculine appearance didn't attract fans and her lack of control over her strength drove rivals away. After Peki taught her how to control her strength, Adelgund started to gain fans as she and Peki got more matches until they became the Masato Champions.

Due to prejudice against Wilds, Adelgund and Peki turned into a Face and Heel tag team. They fought in a fixed solo match where Adelgund remained a Face while Peki was a Heel. After winning the match, Adelgund became the only Masato Champion of Team Executor in account of Peki losing her belt. The fight made Adelgund have an increase in popularity, turning her into a symbol of justice. Due to Peki acting as a jobber, Adelgund became the main fighter of Team Executor, building a reputation as an invincible Combagal.

After more fans lost interest in the matches of Team Executor, Adelgund had to participate in a fixed match with Team Deliverance. In exchange for losing the match, Team Executor kept the belt and received help with a storyline that redeemed Peki as a Face Combagal. Happy for the chance of returning to having a Face team, Adelgund accepted.

At the start of the Masato Match, Adelgund was the first fighter of Team Executor, fighting against Muko to promote her. Once Muko showed some fighting moves, Adelgund tagged Peki in. After Peki and Nyarai betrayed their teams to form Team Firestorm, Adelgund made Muko a replacement member of Team Executor, forcing her to fight Nyarai.

After Nyarai defeated Muko, Adelgund avenged the bunny's defeat by knocking out Nyarai in a single blow. However, Nyarai tagged Peki in, resulting in a brutal fight where the former partners hurt each other with their full power. Ultimately, Adelgund won the match by breaking Peki's arm. She then stomped on her legs and assaulted her referee out of heartbreak. Because of her actions, Adelgund became a Heel, losing her Face status and the love of her fans.

Adelgund faced Nyarai in a rematch. Sadly, Nyarai's immunity to holds thanks to her flexibility and her true kick fighting style made her the victor of the fight. Adelgund lost the Masato Champion belt and is currently on recovery at the hospital with a concussion and a broken jaw.

## Trivia

* Adelgund is the first Combagal that doesn't fit with the fanservice nature that Muko expected.
* Despite their short time together, Adelgund became a mentor to Muko by teaching her the true meaning of furry fighting by letting herself be defeated by Nyarai.
* Adelgund is a representation of what Muko would have become if she had the strength to succeed in furry fighting, but none of her morals and restraint when faced with success. This is seen by her being inconsiderate towards Peki after they became the Masato Champions whereas Muko's main loyalty is to Cookie and later Kalita despite how badly her reputation suffers from her association with them.
* Despite ultimately losing the Masato Match, Adelgund was the major player of the fight due to fighting four matches and beating at least the other three Combagals who participated at least once before Nyarai defeated her. She manhandled Muko, knocked Nyarai unconscious in their first fight, and then defeated Peki in a close battle.
