"Here we are." Plagg said pointing to the castle.
"Pretty big." Adrien said. They saw a guy up front at the entrance. "Hey you."
"Ahh! Monster!" He shouted as he ran away.
"Wait! I'm not gonna eat you." He ran smack into the the wall. "Ooo."
"Why?! Why?!" Whyyyyy?!" He said crawling away.
"Well he wasn't much help." Adrien sighed. They heard trumpets going off, followed it into a courtyard. There was an audience gathered around watching a group of guards.
"And the winner of this tournament will have the honor, no the privalage of rescuing the fair Princess Marinette." Theo announced. "Let the tournament beguin."
Adrien entered the yard, all eyes were on him. They were all looking at him amazed, confused, or weirded out.
"What is that?!" Theo asked disgusted. "Ugh! It's hideous."
"Oh that's not very nice." Adrien said looking at Plagg. "It's just a cat."
"Indeed." He said. "Knights! New plan! The one who kills that thing! Will be named champion!"
"What?! Oh come on." The Knights surrounded him with their weapons pointed. Adrien sighed. "Alright then. If that's the way you want it."
He got into a crouched position, bared his teeth, and brought out his claws. Before anyone could blink he pounced starting one nasty cat fight which then led to a wrestling match. The crowd cheered with excitement.
"The chair! Give him the chair!" An old woman cheered.
They cheered even louder when Adrien hit one of them over the head with a chair. Plagg knocked out one of them with one kick. Soon they were all defeated.
"Thank you very much." Adrien said. "I'm here til Thursday."
Theo thought for a moment. This kid was strong, brave, and scary perfect for retrieving his princess. "Congratulations cat! You have been chosen to go on a quest."
"Quest? Look buddy! I'm here on business to get back my land."
"You're land?"
"Yes where you dumped those miraculous creatures!"
"Hmm...Alright I'll make you a deal. Go on this quest for me and I'll give you back your land."
"What kind of quest?"
...
"So we're gonna go to a tower, fight a dragon, and rescue a princess." Plagg said.
"Yep."
"Sounds like too much work if you ask me. You know what I don't get is why he'd pick you."
"He said I was big, tough, and scary. Perfect for the job."
"You don't say." He said sarcastically. "Hey you got any Camembert on you, I'm starving."
"You just at a cheese wheel three hours ago."
"Yeah but I need more. Look at me I'm wasting away to nothing."
"Why me? Why me? Why God?"
"You know it's not always you. I have wants and needs too."
"Oh boy. This is going to be a long trip." The two of them traveled for days, resting at night and walking on and on.
"Oh hey look! See the cute bunny." Plagg said.
"Aye, he looks delicious." Adrien said.
"Ahh! Monster!" The rabbit said running away.
"You eat rabbits?" Plagg asked.
"Yes. They're terrific in pies. I eat mice, birds, frogs, sheep, squirrels, and fish."
"I think I'll stick with Camembert if we even find any. Ugh! If I starve to death it's your fault."
Eventually they arrived at the dark castle which was surrounded by hot boiling lava. There was a bridge that hung over the lava and led to the castle.
"Uh Adrien."
"Yeah."
"Um can we try going around to the back door."
"Plagg there is no back door."
"Well we don't know til we try."
"You can't tell me you're afraid heights."
"No I'm just a little uncomfortable crossing a rickety bridge over a boiling lake of lava."
"Look I'm right here. Just don't look down."
"Okay." They walked across the bridge. Plagg kept looking up until he accidentally looked down. "Adrien! I'm looking down! Ahh! I want off."
"But you're already halfway there."
"But it's safe back there."
"Oh I don't have time for this!" He shook the bridge.
"Ahh! Don't do that!"
"Oh I'm sorry don't do what?" He said innocently. "This?" He shook it again.
"Yes! That!"
"Yes? Do it? Okay."
"No! Adrien!" He shook the bridge. Plagg backed away in fear. "I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna...Die?" He had backed up all the way to the other side.
"That'll do Plagg. That'll do."
"Cool. So where is this fire breathing pain in the neck?"
"Inside waiting for us to rescue her." Adrien joked.
"I was talking about the dragon."
