Chapter 11: Evil Uprise Part 2: Akuma Gang

Hey, guys. It's me, Axel Frank. Last time you heard from me, me and the gang told Ali, Marinette, and Adrien our origin and how we met. After that moment, we met up with our old enemy: the Dark Gang, who we had found to be hiding in Paris the entire time. Thanks to the help of both Ladybug and Cat Noir, we managed to defeat them at with less time that we usually have with them. Our first battle with the Dark Gang with our new recruits and we already set a new time record. After that, though the others didn't want to go back up there, Kaze still wasn't gonna give up until he defeated me and the team. Sensing his negative emotions, Hawkmoth saw his moment to create a new villain and released another akuma. It infected Kaze and Kaze managed to infect his minions with its energy, evilizing not one, but all the members of the Dark Gang at the same time. They were transformed into the Akuma Gang and went off to spread chaos through Paris. Can we defeat this new villain team or be destroyed in the process?

On the rooftops of Paris, me and the gang were traveling by them to see what's going on as the Element Gang.

"How can the akuma energy be spreading through Paris?" Ladybug asked.

"I don't know." I answered. "This kind of thing never happened before. Whatever the villain is doing, he seems to be able to spread chaos in multiple spots." I then used my akuma sense to see where each energy signature was originating. It wasn't long until we looked to the street and saw water flooding it. I saw it was induced with akuma energy and knew it had to be the villain. So I looked to Posidacus and said "Posidacus, go and see where the water's flowing from."

"You got it." Posidacus said as he jumped off the roof and went swimming in the opposite direction of the water flow.

"Let's split up." I said as I looked to the others. "We can be able to stop this chaos faster if we stop all the disasters the villain's causing simultaneously." I then used my akuma sense and found the signatures in the west, east, south, and at the studio. I then looked to Apolloid and said "Apolloid, you deal with the akuma-induced quakes to the west."

"On it!" Apolloid said as he headed west to stop the earthquake.

"Icedra, you think you can handle the blizzard in the south?" I said as I looked at Icedra.

"Piece of cake." He said. "I can wrangle that blizzard with ease." He then went south to deal with the blizzard.

"ShockBlade, there's a short out at the studio." I said as I looked at ShockBlade.

"Roger. I'll get the power back to it." ShockBlade said as she flew to the studio.

"Torna, try and stop that hurricane in the east from destroying Paris." I said as I looked at Torna.

"You got it!" Torna said as she went to stop that hurricane.

"Ladybug, Cat, you're with me." I said to them. I then looked to the Eiffel Tower and saw an akuma energy signature. "I think I found the culprit. Come on!" We then started our way to the Tower.

Within the water flowing through the streets, Posidacus was swimming through, trying to find the source of the flood. Above the water, Darktillian, now Tsunamian, was surfing on the surface when he looked down and saw Posidacus. Tsunamian then dove down and caught him by surprise.

"What the…?" Posidacus said in shock as he saw Tsunamian in front of him.

"Surprise!" Tsunamian said and then smacked Posidacus out of the water with his tail. Posidacus yelled as he flew out of the water and landed on his back on a roof. Then a spout came up and Tsunamian jumped off and got on the roof as Posidacus was getting back up.

"What? Darktillian?" Posidacus asked as he began to recognize who it was. "Soloman?"

"There is no more Darktillian." Tsunamian said. "I am now Tsunamian. This time, you will drown under my wave."

"So you got evilized." Posidacus said as he got back on his feet. "Looks like this is easier than I thought. Let's end this here and now."

"Let's dance!" Tsunamian said and they started charging at each other, cannons ready to fire.

One landed in the streets due west, Tristone, now Terrorcotta, was still causing earthquakes and was enjoying it until he got kicked into a building. He then looked up and saw Apolloid walking towards him.

"Well, if it isn't Apolloid?" Terrorcotta said as he got up. "I was ready for rematch with you."

"Tristone?" Apolloid asked with a look of shock. Then it turned into a look of proud excitement. "Looks like I get to face Hawkmoth's villain already."

"Terrorcotta versus Apolloid: Round 1, ding!" Terrorcotta said as he and Apolloid charge at each other.

At the studio, DarkBlade, now Blackout, was still shooting around with her crossbow. When she got bored with frying machines, she then went on to shock citizens. She was ready to shoot one man in front of her when something came in and grabbed her. "What the…?" She said. She then turned around and saw ShockBlade. "ShockBlade!" She then gave a discharge and made ShockBlade let go. They both flew in the sky at an equal distance from each other. "You've made a mistake by grabbing me." She growled at ShockBlade.

"You made a mistake by pointing the blaster at a civilian, DarkBlade." ShockBlade said as she put out her claws.

"Call me Blackout." She said as she pulled readied her crossbow and they charged at each other.

East of Paris, DarkCla, now Hypercanette, continued her cyclone rampage. She laughed as she did, but only stopped when she looked up and saw Torna right above her. Torna then shot at Hypercanette, breaking her concentration along with the hurricane.

"Torna, stay out of this!" She said as she flew up to meet Torna.

"Hey, the weather says clear skies, DarkCla." Torna said. "Do you really want to mess up Mother Nature?"

"My name is Hypercanette and I am a force of nature!" Hypercanette said as she then charged at Torna.

South of Paris, Darkdra, now Mr. Ice, continued to freeze the streets as people ran away from him. He was stopped when a huge block of ice hit the back of his head.

"Hey, Darkdra!" Icedra shouted as Mr. Ice turned around and saw him. "Winter break is over!"

"Icedra. I've been waiting for you." Mr. Ice said. "You got an appointment with me, Mr. Ice!" He then used his ice breath to blast at Icedra.

Back with me and the others, we made it to the Eiffel Tower. We looked around, trying to find the villain responsible for all this chaos.

"Am I the only one getting déjà vu?" Cat asked as we searched.

"Is it because this is where we faced off with Stoneheart?" I asked, reminding him this was where we fought our first evilized villain. "This is where we all came together."

"And this is where you will die!" A voice said. We looked to see Dargon, now Akuma Dargon, right on a beam above us.

"Dargon? Is that you?" I asked as Akuma Dargon jumped off from the beam.

"Dargon is no more. Now tremble under the might of Akuma Dargon!" he yelled. "I see you brought Ladybug and Cat Noir."

"So you were evilized." I said, realizing he was the new villain. "Never thought I see an evilized Dragon."

"Well, you get used to it." Akuma Dargon said. "Here's a new deal for you: give me your Miraculous and I'll stop the rampage."

"Over our dead bodies." I said as me, Ladybug, and Cat readied ourselves for battle.

"Fine. Have it your way." Akuma Dargon said as he used the akuma energy to create a demonized spear. "I'll just take them from your corpse." We then charged at him and he charged at us.

With the battle between Posidacus and Tsunamian, they both seemed equally match. At least until they used their cannons. The water bullets clashed, but Tsunamian's managed to outmatch Posidacus' and managed to hit him. Then, as Posidacus got back up, Tsunamian then went on a full on assault on him. When Posidacus started getting back up, Tsunamian then brought up spouts of water, move them over Posidacus, and yelled "Flood Crusher!" then, like a car, the spouts slammed into Posidacus with tremendous force. Posidacus struggled to get back up after it was over. Then the spouts wrapped around him and held him like boas. "Looks like I made the catch of the day, eh, Hawkmoth?"

"Well done, Tsunamian." Hawkmoth said from his lair.

With the battle between Terrorcotta and Apolloid, it was a full on wrestling match. They both seemed evenly matched until Terrorcotta got the upper hand and began beating Apolloid senselessly, even tossing him into buildings. Then, just when Apolloid was getting up, Terrorcotta pointed his palms, which had a ball of purple sand between them, at Apolloid and yelled "Sandstorm Cannon!" then the ball transformed into a powerful force of sand-nados that hit Apolloid. When the sand-nados dissipated, Apolloid found himself trapped in a column made of sand.

"Good match there, Terrorcotta." Hawkmoth said, pleased on how Terrorcotta captured Apolloid.

With the battle between ShockBlade and Blackout, ShockBlade was having a bit of trouble. Blackout's crossbow made it hard for ShockBlade to land a hit on her. It wasn't long until Blackout pointed her crossbow right ShockBlade and yelled "Dark Storm Barrage!" She then shot multiple blast with break-neck speed. ShockBlade tried to dodge them all, but there were too many blasts and she soon got hit. For the first time in her life, ShockBlade had found herself paralyzed with electricity.

"I see a great hunter in you, Blackout." Hawkmoth said to her.

With the battle between Hypercanette and Torna, it seemed to be an even air battle. Though Torna lost the even power scale when she saw how fast Hypercanette really was. Hypercanette attack her left and right so fast Torna couldn't keep up. Then Hypercanette's claws began to glow and she then yelled "Claw Force Slash!" She then closed in on Torna, slashed her with her right claws, slashed her with a double hook slash right at the middle. Torna still had enough strength to keep her form, but not enough to as Hypercanette grabbed her by the legs with her legs.

"You are a bird of prey, Hypercanette." Hawkmoth said.

With the battle between Mr. Ice and Icedra, it was an even ice blasting, ninja agility battle. But then Mr. Ice managed to create a mist field that was too thick for Icedra to see. Then, as Icedra tried to find him, Mr. Ice then attacked him from the mist, went back into the mist, attacked again and did this multiple times. He then stopped, jumped into the air, and yelled "Blizzard Blast!" He then blasted a huge ice blast right at the mist. As Icedra tried to get up, the blast hit him and he then found his body trapped in ice.

"Excellent work, Mr. Ice." Hawkmoth said. "Now, all of you, bring them with you to Akuma Dargon. If the Element Gang are gonna be destroyed, then it should be together, don't you agree?"

"Yes, Hawkmoth." They all said as they headed toward the Eiffel Tower, carrying the Element Gang with them.

Back at the Eiffel Tower, we still kept out battle with Akuma Dargon. Even though we tried our best, Akuma Dargon kept getting the best of us. Ladybug then tried to use her yo-yo, but Akuma Dargon got it wrapped around his spear then used it to pull Ladybug and slammed her into me and Cat and into a wall.

"This isn't working." Ladybug said.

"He's too strong." Cat said.

"Hold on, I got an idea." I said I then got them into a huddle and then whispered "Cat, you'll and I will distract him. Ladybug, try to use your Lucky Charm to see if there's anything that can help us defeat Dargon. Okay, let's go." then me and Cat went to attack Akuma Dargon.

"Okay." Ladybug said. "Please be something useful. Lucky Charm!" Then a boomerang appeared. "A boomerang? How can this help?"

In our battle, Cat tried to strike Akuma Dargon, but was knocked away. Then Akuma Dargon put all his focus on me. I guess the Dargon instinct was still there. Then Akuma Dargon began to beat me senseless and even knocked me off the tower. He then put away his spear stomped me quickly into the ground. I didn't know it, but Ali actually was there and watched from afar. Then she watched in horror as Akuma Dargon punched me senselessly. Then he stopped and I tried to get up, but Akuma Dargon stopped me by getting the tip of his spear close to my throat. We then looked around and saw the rest of the Akuma Gang appear carrying the rest of my team.

"Sweet mother of flames." I said in shocked that all of the Dark Gang was evilized.

"I say it once again." Akuma Dargon said. "Give me your Miraculous."

"Never!" I said.

Then Ladybug and Cat watched from above as Akuma Dargon moved his spear away from my throat, planted his foot on my stomach, got into strike position and said "Fine. If you won't give me your Miraculous, then you will die protecting it! Goodbye, El Dragon!"

"No!" Ladybug and Cat yelled as Akuma Dargon was ready to strike. But, before his spear touched my skin, I watched as Ali skated in from behind and then grappled at Akuma Dargon, putting him in a choke hold. I then watched as he struggled to get Ali off him.

Then Ladybug used her lucky vision and saw Blackout, Tsunamian, and Hypercanette, and then saw the boomerang. When she got a closer look, she saw some kind of green lineage stone on its curve. She then recognized it as Vengestone, the stone I told her was actually able to counteract both the Element Gang and Dark Gang's powers. She already got the idea of how to free Apolloid and Icedra.

"Cat, use your Cataclysm to free Apolloid and Icedra." She said as she looked at Cat. "I'll free the others."

Then Cat went off towards Terrorcotta and Mr. Ice. When he got in front of them, he was met with both a punch from Terrorcotta and an ice blast from Mr. Ice at the same time. Cat managed to dodge them and Mr. Ice ended up freezing Terrorcotta's fist to the ground. As he struggled to get it free, Car came up behind the two villains and said "Cataclysm!"

He then used his powers to free Apolloid and Icedra. Apolloid and Icedra managed to get their strength back from being carried and were now ready for battle. While they fought with Terrorcotta and Mr. Ice, Ladybug jumped off the tower and then tossed the boomerang. To her surprise, the boomerang glowed, turned, and then started heading towards Hypercanette. My guess is that her power made that boomerang to have the ability to go after the Dark Gang elementals. Then it bonked Hypercanette and made her lose her grip. Then it bonked Blackout and made her lose her grip. And then it bonked Tsunamian and made him lose his concentration. It seemed everybody recovered while being carried because, after they were free, they all got ready for battle.

Back with me, I kept watching as Ali kept Akuma Dargon in a choke hold. Though it wasn't long until he was able to grab her and toss her off. When she was get back up, Akuma Dargon pinned her and then wrapped his tail around her neck.

"You made a grave mistake interfering." Akuma Dargon said as he tightened his grip on Ali's throat. "Now you will join this rat in oblivion."

He then started to walk towards me as he kept tightening his grip. While he did, I felt something. Something building up inside me. It felt like fire trying to ignite and, on the third try, it finally ignited and grew. I wanted to save Ali and was angry at Akuma Dargon for putting her life in danger. I managed to grab my staff, which fell out of my hand when I was slammed to the ground, and grip it with a grip of fury.

"Now, El Dragon, time for you to…oof!" Akuma Dargon said as I then punched him in the chin, sending him flying into the beam of the tower. After he hit, he lost his grip and then fell. Ali fell too, but, before she hit the ground, I managed to run over and catch her. I then got her to a safe distance from Akuma Dargon as he landed on the ground.

"Are you alright?" I asked her as I put her down and she nodded "yes". "Get somewhere safe. I got this guy." She then rolled to a safe distance from the battle. I then walked to where I was at half distance away from Akuma Dargon.

"Why you little rat." Akuma Dargon groaned as he got himself up. "You'll pay for that."

"Akuma Dargon," I said as I then pointed the tip of my staff at him, "you took the life of one person dear in my life, I will not let history repeat itself again." My glare intensified as I kept my look at him. "We are the Element Gang and we will never stop until this world is safe from villains like you or Hawkmoth."

"Ugh! That's what I hate about you heroes. You're too heroic." Akuma Dargon said.

"Welcome to my world." Hawkmoth said. "Now stop this chatter and get his Miraculous!"

Akuma Dargon got into fighting position, but then he and everyone watched as I began to glow in a red light.

"This world belongs to everyone. You think that the weak should serve the strong, but you're wrong." I said as the light began to intensify. "The strong should defend the weak, but not by force, but by their own will. We fight for both the weak and the strong. We are heroes for everyone!" then a fire ring formed around me and I soon gave a warrior cry. After I did, the ring turned into a raging fire with me inside. Within it, I felt stronger. That's when I realized I unlocked the next level of my power. I did something that only a few of my ancestors were able to do. I closed my eyes as my form began to change. My four tail spikes transformed into a blade that ended at the tip of my tail, my wings changed from a set of two to a set of four, my horns then transformed into a horned shogun helmet, and I got golden boots. We then flames dissipated, everyone looked in amazement of my new form. Akuma Dargon was even shocked by this.

"What?! You-you evolved?!" He said in disbelief. "How can this be? It takes more years than you had for a Fire Dragon to evolve. I bet you're not that strong."

"Let's just test that theory." I said as we then locked in combat. It seemed to be even, but I got the upper hand. I used my staff to knock Akuma Dargon to the ground hard. After he got up, Akuma Dargon then got ready to blast and I did too.

"Shadow Blaster!" He then blast a fire blast that had akuma energy within it. I then shot my own blast and two blast collided, both at an even match. Akuma Dargon tried to increase the power in his blast, but I managed to increase the power in mine and overcame him. It hit him and cause a big explosion. After the smoke cleared, I saw that Akuma Dargon was unconscious. Then I watched as his Akuma Gang then got tossed right to him. I then saw as my team came to stand beside me.

"Now time to get the akuma." I said as I walked up to Akuma Dargon.

"Huh? Don't you mean 'akumas?'?" Cat asked, thinking that there was more than one.

"No. As we've witnessed before, Hawkmoth can only release one akuma at a time. Dargon is the one infected with the akuma." I said. "My guess is that Dargon here infected the Dark Gang here with some of the akuma energy."

"So if we capture his akuma, then all of them will go back to normal?" Ladybug asked.

"Exactly. And I know that the one thing Dargon takes personally is that scar on his arm." I said and I then jabbed my staff into the edge of the bulge. But, when I tried to go farther, it was stuck that far. I wasn't even in it. "What? It's stuck."

"What do you mean it's stuck?" Apolloid asked.

I then stopped and then said "His Dargon power must be keeping it in place." Then Akuma Dargon opened his eyes and knocked us all away from him and his Akuma Gang.

"You may have won this battle, but the war has only begun." He said as the rest of the Akuma Gang got up. "Akuma Gang, vanish!" Then a huge shadow covered them all. When it phased into the ground, they were gone.

"Looks like Hawkmoth's got new allies." Cat said.

"I got a feeling this isn't the last of them." I said. "They'll be back."

"And we'll be ready." Ladybug said as we all huddled up.

"Uh, Ladybug?" I said as I realized what we forgot to do. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

"Huh? Oh!" She said as she realized she still had the boomerang. "Right. Miraculous Ladybug!" She then tossed the boomerang into the air and it turned into energy and fixed all the damaged caused by the Akuma Gang.

"Come on, let's go home." I said as we all left to transform back.

Chronicles of Kaze: Chapter 2

After escaping the Element Gang, I managed to use my Shadow Path to get me and my minions in one of the old buildings in Goussainville, one of the most deserted places in Paris. Once we were in, we all transformed back into our normal selves and then sat down to rest.

"You disappoint me, Akuma Dargon." Hawkmoth said to me telepathically. "I really thought you could actually defeat the Element Gang."

"Oh, keep your mask on." I said to him. "This isn't over. You heard what El Dragon said. I can be able to infect people with akuma energy."

In Hawkmoth's lair, Hawkmoth pondered what his new villain had said, the window opened to the night sky over Paris.

"Hmm." Hawkmoth said with a sinister grin. "Because you can do so, that means you can be able to evilize anyone."

"Not exactly. I don't have enough power. Mind supplementing me with some akumas?"

"Don't even have to ask. Just make sure you don't fail me." Hawkmoth said as the window closed.

"Oh, don't worry." I said as I gave a sinister grin. "I won't. It won't be long until they become weak and, when they do, I will finally destroy them once and for all! Ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha. MWAHAHAHAHAH!"

Well, we defeated the Akuma Gang, but, like I said, they'll be back. This battle was only just the beginning. The Dark Gang's powers are just as complex as the Element Gang's. Until their powers are stripped from them, it seems from now on, Hawkmoth will have allies on the outside. But, no matter they throw at us, we will defeat them and protect our world from their evil. Because we are the Element Gang!
