Chapter 10: Evil Uprise Part 1: Past Revealed

Today, we were all at my house. Me and the gang decided to invite them over and tell them of our previous adventures. I even invited Ali over to join in the fun. When they arrived, Ali had bumped into my mother, who said she looked beautiful, we showed them around the house, and Plagg tried to give me his late birthday present for me: a piece of Camembert. I rejected that so he ate it. That was a disgusting moment for everyone. After that, we told them about our past. We told them about the time I accidentally revived a mutant villain named Snakeweed, all the times we went face-to-face with the Dark Gang's monsters, the time we fought a new mutant that Basar named the Creep, and fighting Ivan Steranko, the Russian collector who wanted to skin me. We had some laughs with some of the humorous moments, like the one we were telling them now.

"So, wait." Marinette said. "Jay really got his nose stuck in it?"

"Yeah. His whole nose got stuck in that test tube." I said, remembering that moment back in Ronan.

"Remember how Jay reacted when he got in there?" Tricha asked, laughing from remember that moment.

"'Aah! Help! I got a test tube on my nose!'" Basar said as he mimicked Jay's reaction from the past.

"Actually, when he said it, it was 'Nah! Elp! I ot a nest nube on my toast!'" I said, mimicking the nasal voice.

"Alright, that's enough." Jay said.

"Yeah. Well, it took us a week to get it off." I said. "Hey, you guys remember Santa Claws?"

"Santa what?" Adrien asked.

"Oh, it was this villain the Dark Gang created by fusion Santa's DNA with the DNA of a criminal named Stingrage to ruin Christmas." I said. "Now that was a tough one."

"Yeah. Especially with that anger induced coal." Basar said.

While we talked, Marinette was thinking about her next question. She got one and said "So how did you guys meet?"

"Huh?" I asked confused by that.

"When did you all team up?" She asked.

"Yeah. How did you became the Element Gang?" Adrien said, becoming curious about it.

"You really want to know about that?" I asked and they nodded.

"Well, they are part of the team now." Nooroo said. "Maybe it's time for them to know."

I gave it some thought and decided to do it.

"Okay, then listen close." I said as I then began to tell our story. "It was 2 years ago when we first met." I then began to reminisce the past. "Back then, it was just me. I didn't have anyone work with me or let anyone into my life."

"Why did you do that?" Marinette asked.

"Because of what happened before." I answered.

"And that was…" Adrien said, waiting for me to tell it.

"You're gonna have to wait for that part, my feline friend." I said. "Like I said, I was a solo lobo, a lone wolf. I did everything to protect my home town from all kinds of danger. Things changed on my first day of middle school. It was the day that I met Jay."

Then young me bumped into young Jay.

"And, just like now, we weren't on the right foot. Which I have to say that you bumped into me." I said as I looked at Jay.

"No, you bumped into me." Jay said.

"How would you like a metallic Charlie Horse?" I said as I got my metal bending ready.

"How would you like a hydro-pumped wet willie?" Jay said as he got his powers ready.

"Okay. Break it up, you two." Marinette said as she pushed us away from each other. We then sat down and settled down. "Now, what about the others?"

"Oh, right." I said, trying to see where I left off. "Well, with Tricha, I already knew due to being her cousin. When I met Meri, she was plain silly. Basar and Trustin actually were the first friends I made. Things seem to have went well that day."

Young me then waved goodbye to young Basar and young Trustin.

"It seemed like it until I heard police sirens. I knew that crime was afoot. So I decided to go to work." I said.

Young me then went into that old shed and said "Time to transform, Nooroo." Then Nooroo popped right out as he said "Nooroo, let's fly!" And then he transformed into young El Dragon. He then flew out of the shed with break-neck speed.

I then chuckled a bit and said "I still remember what they said when I came around."

People ran as 6 robots with purple glowing chest were destroying the town. Then they stopped as they saw something in the sky.

"Look!" A man said.

"It's a bird!" A senior man said.

"It's a plane!" A woman said.

"It's a gecko!" One man from the back said.

"A gecko?!" The crowd said as they looked at him.

Then I heard Marinette, Adrien, and Ali laugh and looked at them.

"They actually said that?" Adrien said as he continued to laugh.

"Yes." I said. "Every time and with a different reptile. One guy even said 'It's a frog!'"

"A frog?" Marinette said. "That's not even a lizard."

"I know, right?" I said. "Well, as i was saying, that day was also the first time I met up with the Darkbots."

"The robots the Dark Gang used?" Marinette asked.

"The ones and the same." I answered. "I thought I could handle them. How wrong I was."

Then one of the Darkbots blasted high pressure water at young me.

"They seemed to have been able to counter my powers, so it was difficult to beat them. I was close to being destroyed until Posidacus came along and saved me. That was when the Hive mind Darkbot appeared. This Darkbot was made whenever Dargon wasn't around. This thing could control multiple Darkbots simultaneously. Even though Posidacus tried his best, he still couldn't beat them. These were made to counteract every elemental power in the Element Gang."

The Darkbots then blasted beams of light at young Posidacus.

"And I also met Apolloid…"

Then young Apolloid came down and kicked on Darkbot in the face, punched one in the face, and head-butted one in the face and sent all three of them to the ground. This move was known as The Triple Tiger Sashay. It wasn't long until the Darkbots surrounded him with purple winds, his body beginning to crack.

"And Icedra, Torna, and ShockBlade, who were a team called the Nature Trio. By working together, we managed to beat the Darkbots and save the town."

Apolloid grabbed a Darkbot by its metal neck. Then the Darkbot chuckled nervously and Apolloid began to smash it. Then he lifted it up as a silver cube. Posidacus hit a Darkbot with a water bullet barrage. The impact destroyed it. Icedra shot an ice shard that hit a Darkbot in the chest. It fell as the shard had finished it. Torna had a Darkbot in the air with a tornado created by her claws. Then a ray came out of the tornado and fit the Darkbot, freezing it on contact. Then Torna canceled the tornado and let the Darkbot fall to the ground, where it shattered. ShockBlade used her claws on a Darkbot and split it into three pieces. The Hive mind Darkbot looked around and saw the others were defeated. Then young me flew down from the air and shot off continuous fire blast. Then the Darkbot shot a long stream of water. The stream and blast crossed and turned to steam. Then the blast overcame the stream and hit the Darkbot. Then it fell backwards and its eyes turned black. The people rejoiced for their heroes.

"When I found out they were the rest of the Element Gang, I rejected the offer on joining them. So I left and went home to forget all that."

Young me spoke out his frustrations to Nooroo while pacing in circles.

"How many times do I have to tell people? I work alone and that's final." He said. "I made an oath to never work with anyone with our job."

"It doesn't sound so bad." Nooroo said. "I mean you are meant to be with this team. It's your destiny."

"Who's side are you on, Nooroo?" Young me said with an angry look on his face. They then heard a knock on the door, which made them both have confused looks. They went to the door, where young me said "Who could that be?"

Young me then opened the door and saw no one there, but a Holo Disk on his door. He took it on the table and pushed the button on its side. He and Nooroo closed the curtains as it began to activate. Then the holographic image of Dragonis Maximus appeared in a white cloak.

"I had received a message from Dragonis Maximus on that day too." I said.

"Wait." Marinette said. "Who's Dragonis Maximus?"

"Dragonis Maximus is the strongest elemental in the universe. He told me that I had to join the Element Gang, that they need a leader, someone to look up to, they needed…me." I said. "Even though I wasn't going to, that didn't stop Dragonis' persistence."

"To add to it, I'm sorry." The Dragonis hologram said, which made young me give a confused look. "Leading the Element Gang is your birthright. Sorry, but this is for your own good." The hologram said, then it faded away, and the Holo Disk began to glow red.

"I knew Dragonis would get me to join the Element Gang one way or another. I just didn't think he would set up a tracker to show where I was." I said as young me used his tail to open the door and ran outside. He then locked the outer door, went back inside, closed the door, and locked it. He then used his powers to create a welding mask and got ready to use his fire breath. But, before the flame got to the disk, Nooroo went in and got the disk away from young me.

"Hey!" He said. "Give me that, Nooroo." it then turned into a chase around the living room. It ended when young me used his claws to shoot the disk out of Nooroo's hands. The disk stopped glowing and Nooroo glared at young me as he removed the mask and sighed in relief. But this was short lived when they heard a knock on the door.

"I thought I shut it down in time, but it was too late. That's when I found out they were the other members of my team." I said. "Though Nooroo was glad to meet them, I on the other hand, wanted them out of my house. And, Basar, you didn't have to knock down my door."

"Hey, you locked the door." Basar said.

"How about you tell them why you did that?" Tricha asked.

I then sighed and said "Fine. But this goes farther back into the past." I then grabbed the photo of my family from back then. I then passed it over to them and said "This is my family from 11 years ago."

"Whoa!" Marinette said, amazed by this information. The others soon gathered to take a look.

"Aw! You looked so cute." Ali said as she looked in my direction.

"Who's that?" Adrien asked, pointing to the man next to me in the picture.

"That man is Jamey Frank, my father." I said. They all looked at me with shock. "It all began 9 years ago."

I then began to remember those painful events.

In the backyard of a small blue house, young me was practicing with a silk dummy.

"I started my training at age 5 and my father was my teacher."

Then young me tried to chop a log in half.

"He might have been tough as my teacher…"

Then young me backed away, crying from the pain. Then my father came to him, bandaged his hand, and comforted him. Nooroo did the same. This one action led to calm young me down.

"But he was still my loving father."

"He's right." Nooroo said. "And we both taught him everything he knows."

Young me was fighting my father, but my father was able to defeat him by tripping him with a foot-swipe. Then my father helped him up and they continued the fight.

"Okay. Rule number 2 of using your claws: Concentrate." Nooroo said as he helped young me with target practice. Then young me positioned himself like he was throwing a disk with his claws ready to launch. He then moved his arm forward to where it was aligned with the target. But then he gave a confused look for his claws were gone. He looked to the sky to see if they flew into the air. Nooroo looked to young me's left and gave a look of shock.

"Uh, Axel?" Nooroo asked as he pointed in the direction with a nervous look.

"What?" young me said as he turned to look and was shocked as well. He saw that my father was pinned to a tree with his claws.

"Rule number 1: Aim!" my father said with an angry glare. Young me then chuckled with a nervous smile.

"I watched him get older and stronger." Nooroo said.

Then young me, age 6, shot his claws and they managed to hit the center of the target. At age 7, he managed to beat my father in combat. At age 8, he chopped the log in half with one chop. Then the two halves landed on the ground.

"I felt like I was ready for everything." I said.

"You were also eager for action. I still remember when you asked that very question." Nooroo said.

"Can I meet my team now?" young me asked.

"What did he say?" Marinette asked.

"He said…"

"No. you're still have a lot to learn." My father said. "Once you're of age, you will."

"What does that mean?" Adrien asked.

"He meant coming of age, cat for brains." I said. "Now, as I was saying, it was great, but, by my 9th birthday, everything changed."

"What happened?" Ali asked.

"Dargon." I answered. "Dargon happened. He broke into my house and tried to kill me."

Dargon from the past was different than the usual Dargon. He was a bit smaller than normal and his wings were only 2 ½ feet long. He still had the tail, which was a bit shorter, with that cubism spike and still had thoses silver spikes on his head. He tried to slash and burn young me, but young me dodged them. Then Dargon swung his tail and slammed young me through the wall.

"He didn't defeat me, but I watched as my whole world crumbled around me." I said.

Then young me came out if the purple flames created by Dargon and hit his back on the tree. He sat there, too weak to defend himself, as Dargon came out and put his silver claws on his left hand. Then he slithered to young me, got his claws ready to strike, and said "It's time to finish you off." Then he thrusted his claws down.

"When he struck, my father took the blow." I said.

My father stood there with Dargon's claws through his chest. Then Dargon took his claws out of my father and glared at him.

"You're not hurt." My father weakly said. "Tell me you're okay."

"I'm fine." Young me said.

"I'm so glad." My father said. "I think it is time to start the next part of your journey. Nooroo…take care of my son." He then took the Moth Miraculous off with the strength he had left. Noo-roo watched as his old partner gave it to young me. "Use it well…use it wisely." My father then blacked out for his life had reached its end. Young me sobbed and then yelled "Father!" He then looked at Dargon and his look of sadness turned to rage. He then looked at Nooroo as his look of shock turned into a look of serious and nodded at young me. Then young me made the same look, stood up, placed the Moth Miraculous on, and said "Nooroo, let's fly!" He then transformed into El Dragon and got ready to fight Dargon and Dargon did the same. They then charged and their choice of weapons clashed. It was an epic battle of fire breathing, staff whacking, claw slashing, and elemental clashing. In the end, young me got the upper hand and then took a slash with the tip of his staff, leaving a big cut on Dargon's arm.

Seeing there wasn't a way to defeat him, Dargon roared and then slithered away.

"Though I beaten him, I had lost my father as an end result." I said.

Then young me began to cry for the loss of his father.

Adrien, Marinette, and Ali looked at me with great depression.

"I'm sorry." Ali said as she came to my side.

"It's fine." I said. "He's still alive as long as he's in my heart." I then put my hand over my heart. "The day I met my team was the day I met our enemy."

Back at the house, 14-year-old me was keeping a watchful eye on the neighborhood and the one next door.

"Someone's a little cautious there." A voice said.

Young me turned around, with his claws ready to go, and saw a boy with brown eyes and hair wearing a purple long sleeve shirt and pants with a pleased look on his face.

"Who are you?" young me asked.

"My name is Kaze Shutzman." The boy answered. "And I see you like what a show my Darkbots are putting up."

"You mean those crazy robots I faced were yours?" young me asked. "Well, your plan's gonna fail. There's no way those tin cans can beat five elementals."

Kaze then laughed and said "That wasn't the plan. They were meant to attract the others?"

"That was when I realized his true plan. He sent those Darkbots to distract Apolloid and the others while he went after his real objective: me." I said.

"But that wasn't gonna happen, right?" Adrien asked.

"That's what I thought." I answered. "So I told him he left one little flaw: he couldn't beat a fire elemental. Though he had that covered."

"We've been hoping you say that." Kaze said.

"'We?'" young me said in confusion. Then s dark purple ice blast came in and turned Nooroo into a kwami-cicle.

"Nooroo!" young me shouted as Kaze caught the frozen kwami that was shot to him. Young me then turned around and saw a purple version of Icedra. Then Kaze snapped his fingers and purple versions of Apolloid, Torna, ShockBlade, and Posidacus appeared and surrounded young me.

"That's when I met Tristone, DarkCla, Darktillian, DarkBlade, and Darkdra." I said.

"Wait, aren't those…" Marinette asked.

"Yes." I answered. "The five members of the Dark Gang. I thought I could beat them, but, with-out Nooroo, I didn't have the strength to fight them."

"Without your kwami, you couldn't transform." Adrien said.

"Yeah. If it wasn't worse enough, I realized who Kaze really was." I said.

Kaze then lifted up the sleeve on his left arm, revealing a big scar running down it, revealed two red dragon eyes, and put out silver claws on his right hand.

"It turned out that he…was the Dargon that tried to kill me." I said, which made Ali, Marinette, Tikki, Adrien, and Plagg gasp. "And he came to finish the job. He would've if Basar and the others didn't save me."

Apolloid came in and kicked Kaze and Tristone into a shed as Kaze was ready to strike. Then Darkdra, DarkBlade, Darktillian, and DarkCla got up and ready to pumble Apolloid. But, before they did, three water bullets hit and blew Darktillian into Darkdra, DarkCla got froze with an ice blast and then got blew into DarkBlade with a wind blast. Apolloid grabbed Nooroo and broke him out of the ice, freeing him. He then squatted down, put his hand out, and said "Need some help?"

Young me then smirked and said "Yeah. And my team." He then grabbed Apolloid's hand and Apolloid helped him up.

"That's when we all decided to team up." I said.

Then Kaze jumped out of the shed, landed, dropped off Tristone, and transformed into Dargon.

"Nooroo, let's fly!" young me said as he transformed into El Dragon. Then they got into fighting stance and young me said "Element Gang, let the elements strike!"

"Dark Gang, attack!" Dargon said as both groups charge at each other.

"It was as epic as I thought it would be. Good versus evil, Element Gang versus Dark Gang." I said. "We were able to beat them and even use the Element Blast."

"Fire!" young me said as he blasted his fire blast.

"Earth!" Apolloid said as he blasted his earth blast.

"Water!" Posidacus said as he shot his water stream.

"Ice!" Icedra said he shot his ice beam.

"Wind!" Torna said as she shot her wind torrent.

"Lightning!" ShockBlade said as she shot her electric volt. The blasts spiraled and turned into a huge stream blast. The Dark Gang did the same and the blasts collided, both even matched. The Dark Gang tried to increase the power in their blast, but young me and his team were able to increase the power of their blast and outmatched the Dark Gang's. The Dark Gang got hit with the blast and were shot into the air.

"We'll be back!" Dargon yelled as he and the Dark Gang flew out of sight.

"After that, we gotten our base, which is underneath this house right now. I decided that having a team wasn't so bad and let Basar and the others work with me." I said as I stopped reminiscing. "And that's how we became the Element Gang."

They all gave an applause for a great backstory.

"But I heard from Alya the Dark Gang came back, right?" Marinette asked.

"Oh, yes." I answered. "And they attacked us again and again and again and again. They executed multiple attacks for the last 2 years. Last time we fought we actually attacked them at their own base. It took us weeks just to find each one they made."

"Yeah, they kept moving to a different place every time we found them." Trustin said.

"Yeah, but this time was different." I said. "Sure, they set it to self-destruct like they usually did and we escaped it, but, after that, the Dark Gang just disappeared."

"You mean they were gone?" Marinette asked.

"Without a trace." Trustin answered. "We looked for them, but there wasn't any sight of any of them."

"Our quickest guess is that they went into hiding." I said. "But that doesn't mean they won't come back. When they do, we must be ready. That includes you two."

"Why do we have to?" Adrien asked.

"Because they might have heard of you and, being the allies of a Fire Dragon, you're targets for them now." Nooroo said.

"Yeah, so keep a keen eye." I said. "If the Dark Gang do return, they will come at us at full force."

After that, we went out for a walk through Paris and me and the guys tell some tales of our past like when Jay tried to sun tan, but got sunburned instead. It was going great until I bumped into some-one in an alley.

"Hey, watch it, punk!" The guy in front of me said. I recognized the voice and felt dread to look. I was shocked to see it was him.

"Kaze?" I said, shocked to see him and his minions right in front of me.

"Well, if it isn't Axel 'Epigamic' Frank." Kaze said with a sinister smile. "Fancy meeting you here."

"So this is where you were hiding." I said as I stared at him with a glare. The others did the same.

"Huh." Adrien said. "So you're Kaze Shutzman."

"Oh, look. Axel brought some friends." Kaze said as he looked at Ali, Marinette, and Adrien.

"How about we give them a Ronan welcome?" the girl beside him said. I knew her to be Berontha Delaurenti, Meri's cousin.

"I think that's a swell idea." Kaze said as he put out his claws.

"Keep your claws to yourself." Marinette said.

"Ali, run!" I said as she began to run away.

"Hold it!" Kaze said as he chased her.

"Don't you lay a claw on her!" I said as I blocked Kaze's path.

"Who's gonna stop me?" Kaze said with a glare.

"Guys, how about we show them the latest Element Gang special?" I said as Nooroo got out of my backpack's pocket.

"Yeah!" Adrien said as Plagg got out of his jacket.

"Let's do it!" Marinette said as Tikki got out of her purse.

"Nooroo, let's fly!"

"Tikki, spots on!"

"Plagg, claws out!"

We then transformed into El Dragon, Ladybug, and Cat Noir. With Ladybug and Cat Noir, to make sure their identities aren't that revealed, I gave them skin-tight hood mask with Ladybug's leaving her pigtails out and Cat Noir's ears on top. Then the others followed our lead. The Dark Gang became shocked by our sudden transformation, well with Ladybug and Cat Noir.

"What?!" Kaze said. He then looked and saw their Miraculous. "The Ladybug and Cat Miraculous! No more holding back! Destroy them!" Then Kaze, Berontha, Silvian, Kura, Soloman, and Colt transformed into Dargon, DarkBlade, Darkdra, Darktillian, DarkCla, and Tristone.

"Element Gang, let the elements strike!" I said as we went on the attack.

"Dark Gang, attack!" Dargon said as he and his minions did the same.

This became one epic battle. We seemed to have the upper hand thanks to Ladybug and Cat Noir. Like when DarkBlade had ShockBlade pinned, Ladybug used her yo-yo to distract DarkBlade by dropping a flower pot on her head, which gave ShockBlade the right moment to attack and when Cat used his Cataclysm on the column Tristone tried to crush us with. Even Ladybug's Lucky Charm, which was a frisbee, was perfect to distract the entire Dark Gang while we attacked them. We managed to beat them with a new time record.

"Had enough, Dargon?" I asked with a smug and my staff pointed at him.

He growled and said "Dark Gang, retreat!"

Then he and his minions ran off. It's like they say "He, who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day." We managed to beat them single handedly. We then ran off to transform back without anyone seeing us.

Chronicles of Kaze: Chapter 1

In the sewer, me and the others were going through the tunnels, trying to walk off the pain from the battle.

"Agh! That was humiliating!" I groaned as he transformed back from my Dargon form.

"Man! My head is still throbbing from the flower pot." DarkBlade said, rubbing her head and transforming back into Berontha.

"I can't believe a cat ruined my attack." Tristone said as he transformed back into Colt.

"At least you didn't have your blaster pointed back at you in the middle of a shot." Darktillian said, transforming back into Soloman and reminiscing the moment Ladybug used her yo-yo to pull his cannon back into his face and hit him with one of his own bullets.

"Ugh! That staff felt like being whipped with a nine-tails." DarkCla said, transforming back into Kura and rubbing her back from Cat's whacks.

"They all beat us in a single go." Darkdra said as he transformed back into Silvian. "No way am I going back there."

"You said it." Colt said, agreeing with Silvian.

"Yeah." Kura said. Then Kaze turned around, slammed his foot on the ground, and growled at his minions, making all of them cower.

"Are you kidding me?!" Kaze yelled with rage. "We are the Dark Gang! Our ancestors have been working on the same thing we have been working on for the last 5 years. The Dark Gang have been the living nightmare if every creature on this planet for 800,000 years! We send fear to those below us, not the other way around!"

"But, boss, they just…" Colt said.

"What are you all afraid of?!" I yelled, interrupting him. "Grow some backbone! We are going back out there and we won't stop until the Element Gang and those Miraculous Warriors are destroyed!" I then punched a hole into the sewer wall.

In Hawkmoth's lair, the window opened as he sensed Kaze's negative emotions.

"Hmm. Interesting." Hawkmoth said with a sinister grin. "A villain scorned by defeat, doubted by his own minions, and filled with blind rage against the Element Gang. The perfect evil combination that'll assure me victory." He then turned another moth into an akuma. "Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!" The akuma then flew off into Paris. The akuma managed to slip through the crack a manhole and into the sewer.

I walked through the tunnels with fury and the others following behind in fear. They knew to keep their distance when I'm angry. I was so mad that my eyes were burning red with rage, I was snarling with each breath I took, even my fists were tight with my anger. But it all diminished when I heard fluttering farther into the tunnel. I stopped and tried to find where that sound was coming from. The others stopped and looked at me with confusion. When I looked forward, I saw that sound was coming from something small, black, and glowing purple that flew out of the tunnel's corner. It started flying closer to me as I tried to see what it was. When I took a closer look, I saw what looked like a black butterfly with translucent purple spots. I watched in confusion as it flew past me. When it tried to land on the scar on my arm, I turned around to keep it away.

"Hey! Hey!" I said as I kept turning around as the butterfly kept trying to get on my arm scar. "Shoo! Shoo! Get away! Get out of here, you stupid butterfly!" I didn't realized, but my minions laughed at me for running away from a butterfly. When I saw that, I stopped moving, faced them with an angry glare, and said "Stop laughing!"

That was able to silence them. Then I watched as the butterfly landed on my scar and became absorbed by it. That was the weirdest thing I have ever seen and got weirder when my whole scar then swelled and solidified into stone, having the same pattern as the butterfly.

"Aah!" I yelled with pain from my scar's transformation. It hurt so much. It felt like something was growing inside my arm and was trying to bust out of it.

I couldn't control myself from there, but still had memories of what happened. My minions watched as it happened and my iris started to glow purple.

"Uh, boss?" Colt asked as he walked up to me. "Are you okay?"

Colt then backed away as I glared at him with wide, glowing eyes. I then put out my claws on my left hand and pointed them at Colt and the others, all of them the same color as my scar. I then shot them, each of them hitting and being absorbed by my minions. Then my eyes dimmed back to their usual color and then me and my minions all glared with anger at the same time.

"Well, this is unexpected." Hawkmoth said, surprised his akuma didn't just infect one, but all of the members of the Dark Gang. "Six for the price of one." He then set up his telepathic link to them and said "Greetings, my fellow villains. I am Hawkmoth. I feel your pain and get even with those heroes. So I give you the power to do get your revenge. All of you have to do is bring me their Miraculous."

"Yes, Hawkmoth." They all said in unison and with smiles.

Then all of us, one by one, began to be consumed by akuma energy as Hawkmoth spoke again.

"Then rise, Terrorcotta…" Colt became surrounded by the energy. ", Hypercanette…" then Kura. ", Mr. Ice…" then Silvian. ", Blackout…" then Berontha. ", Tsunamian…" then Soloman. "…and you, my Akuma Dargon." and finally Kaze. "You are no longer the Dark Gang, you are now my new Akuma Gang. Now, go and show your power to the world!"

In the streets of Paris, people looked as a manhole began to shake and steam with purple smoke. Then they watched as the cover then popped off and six blurs came out. The six then spread out into six parts of Paris.

One landed in the streets due west, causing a massive earthquake throughout. People looked to see Tristone, but he was different. He looked more like a terracotta warrior than his usual self. He stood up and said "Time to shake things up!" he then began stomping, which caused an earthquake around a 0.990 mile radius.

One landed in the river. Then a spout came up and people saw Darktillian on top of it. He was different. He had the tail and back fin of a shark and teeth as razor as a piranha's in a sinister smile. "Time to spread the news and I'll assure you, it'll be flooding through the streets!" He said. Then the river turned into a giant wave and crashed into the streets with Darktillian riding on it.

One landed on top of the studio and people saw DarkBlade on it. She was different. She had glowing hair that formed like a lightning bolt and a black lightning bolt spiraled down from her right shoulder to the front of her metallic skirt. "Hello, Paris!" She said. "Here's a little shock to you." She then pulled out a crossbow and began shooting at everything, even causing electronics to go haywire.

Then one landed east of Paris on a roof. People saw DarkCla on there, sporting a new look. She had a metallic metal skirt and metal claws, which looked more like wings. "Paris, time to get blown away!" She said as she flew into the air and created a huge twister in the streets.

One landed south of Paris and people saw Darkdra in the middle of the street. He looked like a ninja covered with armor made of black ice. "Okay, Paris!" He said. "Time to chill out!" He then used his ice breath to freeze everything around him. Everyone ran as they tried to escape these villains rampage.

One then landed on the top of the Eiffel Tower. Dargon appeared with a new look of his own. He wore a mask similar to Hawkmoth's and shogun armor. "Take a good look, Paris." He said with a sinister look. "This is the start of a new era: the age of the Akuma Gang!" he then laughed evilly.

In the streets to the north, I and gang were walking when I sensed akuma energy. But this was different. Everybody seemed to see it.

"Axel, are you okay?" Adrien asked.

"Guys, I sense akuma energy." I answered.

"Where is it?" Basar asked.

"It's…everywhere." I said. "And it's big. Bigger than any of the ones I felt before. Come on!" we all then went to transform and find out what happened.

"Excellent." Hawkmoth said. "With my Akuma Gang, I will defeat the Element Gang and finally get their Miraculous! I will achieve absolute power!"

Oh, no! I thought fighting the Dark Gang was bad enough. Now we have to deal with the new evilized Akuma Gang. We might've defeat people infected by akumas and the Dark Gang, but never both of them together. Will I and the gang be able to defeat this newly reborn villain team?
