Theo sat upon his captured wyvern, his steed cowering with Theo stood tall, the dragon killing sword hanging by his side. He had spent the whole night before examining all possible terrain, just in case the dragon and princess should try anything. He felt ready.

All the moon began lowering in the sky, dragons poked their heads from their roost to watch the scene before them.

From the sky swooped the black dragon, with a lone ride covered in a dark cowl.

Hide the princess while posing with a fake? Theo snorted at the attempt, knowing no other dragon would dare hide the girl once they saw how he dealt with this dragon.

Plagg walked towards the wyvern and its rider, Adrien holding on to one of the dragon's spiked plates, other hand ready to grab his sword.

"We can do this Plagg," assured Adrien.

"I know that. You don't need to tell me kid."

Several dragon paces away, they stopped.

Adrien crouched in his seat, Theo doing the same.

All of a sudden, the wyvern reared its head, spraying some its freezing Ice breath at them, Plagg quickly moving away as Theo had already urged its beast forward, the dragon slaying sword in hand.

Theo swung the sword, aiming for the wing, but Plagg had already flown out of range.

"That's a new sword," commented Plagg as he turned, his eye following the wyvern as it made a turn, heading towards them again.

"What," asked Adrien over the wind, unable to hear the dragon.

Plagg didn't bother responding as the wyvern flew right towards them, Theo having his sword drawn.

The wyvern let out another frosty breath, Plagg quickly putting it out with a short burst of fire before veering off to pass the dragon.

Adrien looked back to see the wyvern turning around to follow them.

Did they have a plan how to defeat Theo and the wyvern? No.

Did Adrien attempt to make plans for them only to have Plagg shoot down all his eyes. Yes.

Adrien honestly wished there was a better way for dragon and rider to communicate over the wind. Like tapping his spikes or something.

Adrien turned back around to see Plagg flying straight into a cliffside as the wyvern began to gain on their straight path.

Adrien pulled on the spike with all his might to gesture Plagg to fly up, Plagg make the turn upward almost too late, the wyvern turning ahead.

Plagg flew up along the mountainside until he reached the peak, flying himself over to he could see Adrien's hood fall off.

"Plug your nose," he warned before turning right side again, not bothering to see if Adrien heard or not.

He looked back to see if the wyvern was still on their tail, surprised the dragon hadn't followed them above the clouds.

Plagg felt a tug on his spike, rearing back just as the wyvern flew out of the could bank, the new sword almost cutting Plagg's snout if he had been to close.

Once he was certain the wyvern was following him again, he dipped underneath the clouds. Once under the cloud bank, he could see the moon disappearing behind the mountains.

"The moon," he heard Adrien cry out.

"Plug your nose now kid," the dragon yelled, looking back to see Adrien's panicked expression and the wyvern hot on his tail. He opened his mouth, sparks emitting as he let loose a stream of fire as the water's surface before diving in.

Theo pulled up the reins on his wyvern as the steam began to lay a blanket over the lake. There was no sign of the dragon and the person riding it anywhere.

He had seen the person when they had flown after the dragon. They had short blond hair instead of the princess' dark locks. Where the other human came from, Theo didn't know nor did he care.

He heard a splash, Theo looking over to see where the steam had ended, the dragon emerged with its rider still intact. He turned the reins, his steed flying after them.

"Come on Plagg," urged Adrien as Plagg flew into the mountains for cover, the sun already beginning to peak over the opposite mountains. Just a little more time.

Adrien clung to Plagg's spike a hard as he could fly the dragon interwove between the crags and jetties from the mountain. Unfortunately, the wyvern was just as nimble as the elder dragon. Gaining on them actually.

"Kid, I'm not gonna make it," Plagg huffed, looking back to see the Wyvern was close. They just needed a cave, something to hide them from the beast or keep them out of the air. The energy from the moon the night before was fading fast.

Adrien glanced between the exhausted dragon and the one gaining on them. He had to keep Plagg safe.

Adrien began to draw his sword, when he heard a dull thrum, not belong to the beating of the dragon wings.

All of a sudden, a mountainside exploded in a combination of fire and snow, the rubble cascading down the mountain.

Adrien heard the thrum again, looking to where the sound could be see a glistening object flying towards the mountainside, where it landed exploded in fire and ice.

The previous explosion covered them from the wyvern, allowing Plagg to make a sharp turn as more explosions rang out.

"How…" Adrien began, uncertain of a good explanation for what occurred. They didn't set anything up the night before, and no other dragon was willing to help them.

"Hello boys!"

The man and dragon looked over to see Marinette and Tikki flying beside them. Only Tikki looked more like a pink and gray at the moment.

Adrien spluttered, surprised by their arrival, "I thought I told you to let us handle it."
"I told you could be my knight."
"That means me handling it."

"Oh, really, because it looked like Theo was going to bite off Plagg's tail."

"You don't need to put yourself in danger Marinette!"

All of a sudden, Plagg collapsed to the ground, Adrien falling off as Plagg tumbled a couple times.

The girls quickly swooped down, Marinette jumping off Tikki to help Adrien, while Tikki flew to Plagg's side.

"Plagg are you alright?" She nuzzled her head against his.

"I told you not to touch me Bug," he smirked, Tikki bringing her head alongside his neck.

"Plagg, what happened," asked Marinette as she helped Adrien over.

"I don't have any moonlight left in me. Sorry Princess."

"Adrien and I will handle Theo," assured Tikki, Marinette nodding in agreement as she led Adrien over to Tikki.

"But how is Tikki still able to fly if Plagg can't," asked Adrien as he climbed aboard, noticing a strange paste was what obscured Tikki's colors.

"Moonstone paste. Family secret." Marinette stepped back besides Plagg.

"You can do this Adrien," she cheered.

"I know that," he teased before Tikki took off back in the direction of Theo.

"Come on Plagg," Marinette went over to Plagg's neck to lift it up, the dragon lazily standing up at her assistance as she led him into a tunnel that Plagg quickly covered the entrance with snow.


Theo wasn't sure how the avalanches started, but it did cause him to lose sight of the dragon and its rider. He growled in frustration, searching the mountainside for any clues of where they had gone.

All of a sudden, his wyvern moved, Theo pulling back on the reigns in protest.

"You stupid beast, stop I say!" He demanded, the dragon paying him no mind. Theo pulled hard on the reins, forcing the dragon to stop before yelping in pain.

"Stop whining," Theo growled, only to start smelling smoke. He turned to see the edge of the wyvern's tail singed off, while another fireball was aiming towards them.

"Move Dragon!" Theo yelled, kicking the dragon in the sides with his heels.

The wyvern moved, only start gliding to the ground.

"Why are you going down? Go up!"

"No more moonlight," the wyvern whimpered as he fell to the ground, Theo holding on for dear life as they crashed.

"I hope he's alright," whimpered Tikki as they landed nearby.

"What," asked Adrien in confusion.

"I mean the wyvern, I didn't mean to hit his tail. Just the wicked man on top."

Adrien chuckled as he dismounted, drawing his sword as he approached an enraged Theo, whose armor was now completely covered in snow.

"Stupid, worthless beast!" Theo kicked the snow besides the injured wyvern, Adrien certain he was aiming for the best.

"I wouldn't do that," warned Adrien as he stepped closer, Theo spinning around, his normal put together hair now all over his face.

"And why not? Not like I care for it? Or you? Or your dragon friend? You both were the ones that injured it," he criticized, waving the handle of his sheathed dragon killing sword around as he talked.

"And there is no need to injure anymore, so just leave him alone and let's face this like men."

Theo snorted. "I'm not interested in fighting with you, or your dragon over there. I'm just here for the black dragon and the princess."

"If you want either you'll have to go through us. And since you don't have a steed, you won't be able to catch up to them either.

Theo snarled, evaluating his options. He didn't have a steed, unless he took the other man's dragon. He could threaten to harm either the wyvern or the man to get the dragon to cooperate, but that would require him overpowering the man first. It would be better to threaten the dragon.

He withdrew his sword, initially changing his position into a fighting stance before pointing the weapon at the wyvern.

Only to hear a low growl. He turned his head to see the pink dragon glaring at him, its body standing guard over the wyvern.

"Just you and me," Adrien insisted, stepping into a defensive battle stance. This whole thing depended on him beating Theo in a sword fight. Adrien had no idea how good Theo was at fighting, and probably should have asked Marinette if he was, but he had nothing to go on other than he was a renowned tactician who always got his way. Plus the sword Theo wielded was different than the kinds Adrien had faced before.

The two men charged at each other, their swords coming in contact, for only Theo's sword to destroy Adrien's. Adrien quickly rolled out of the way, now left with a stubbed hilt.

"Its a Dragon Killing Sword, make specifically to pierce the toughest of armor." Theo patted her breastplate, smirking at his victory. He pointed the weapon at Adrien, looking back to Tikki.

"If you care about this human, you will let me ride you to find Princess Marinette and her black dragon."

Tikki looked between Adrien and the sword, not certain what to do. She could give Theo a fiery blast but Adrien was also in the line of fire.

"I'm waiting dragon."

Tikki looked at Adrien, Adrien's eyes begging her not to fly for Theo. Marinette and Plagg could make it to safety if they bought them this time.

"3."

Tikki didn't want to do it. She needed to keep Adrien safe for Marinette. So they could have their own happily ever after.

"2."

She couldn't sacrifice her friend like this, not if by listening she could just save him.

"1."

All of a sudden, a giant fire blew on Theo, turning him almost to a burnt crisp if not for his armor. All heads who could turn did as Plagg swooped down the mountain, with Marinette riding him. He grabbed Theo with his talons as he swooped down, carrying him up into the sky.

Theo thrashed about in the dragon's grip, eventually cutting one of the claws that held him. Plagg let go, Theo falling from the great height as he separated from his sword and the dragon.

Marinette patted Plagg's side as they began to fall after Theo. Plagg turned his head to listen.

"Get me that sword."

Plagg turned his head back around, straightening his body into a dive despite the pain and weakness.

Marinette had been crazy when she suggested they take a tunnel up to the top of the mountains, just in case Adrien and Tikki needed their help. He guessed it was a good thing they did seeing the predicament the two were in.

He felt Marinette let go, her descent speeding up to catch with Theo's failing form. She grabbed the hilt of the blade, aiming it down so it would strike upon landing. She positioned her aim above Theo as she moved her body down. Almost there.

She was all of a sudden snatched away, looking up to Tikki holding her with her talons.

"We are not like him," was all Tikki said as Theo crash landed in the soft powder snow. Tikki dropped Marinette down to the ground, Plagg tumbling on the mountain side and into Tikki once she landed.

Marinette marched over to Theo, who was looking quite dazed at he sat in the snow. She pointed the throat at his neck.

"Theo of the house of Barbeau, Prince of Normain, I hereby declare you under arrest for attempted murder of the royal guard, conspiring against the Princess of Madrin, and torturing of a wyvern."

Theo looked around for a chance out, only to see two dragons hovering over him, along with an angry man, and a fierce looking princess.
