Hello everyone, and today, the Bandicoot clan will be catching Dragnarok up to speed about what is going on, all while fighting an old foe in our draconic hero's world.
Paris, France (Dragnarok's Universe) (Present Day)
"So..." Dragnarok said as he told what was going on. "These quantum rifts started opening up, putting all of time and space in trouble, right?"
"Yep." Coco said with a nod.
"And you have the help of this quantum mask?" Dragnarok continued.
"Correct." Aku Aku said.
"Names Lani-Loli, Quantum Mask of Phase." The quantum mask in question greeted.
"Nice to me you." Dragnarok said with a nod.
Suddenly, quantum rifts started appearing, and popping out of them were various humanoid, lizard-like monsters, who starts rampaging through the city.
"Looks like our enemy is already on the move." Aku Aku said in a concerned tone.
Dragnarok, meanwhile, stared at the creatures running amok, as for some reason, they felt familiar to him.
Suddenly, appearing on every screen was N. Crypt.
"Greetings. I am Notorious Crypt, but you can call me N. Crypt for short." The data collector greeted. "Before you say anything, I would like to say that, no, I'm not one of Hawk Moth's puny Akumas, I am just curious man who just wants to collect as much data as possible."
"This must be the putz causing all this!" Lani-Loli declared.
"No." Dragnarok said, getting the others' attention. "N. Crypt is an opportunist. He joins problems, not causes them. He really only cares about gathering as much knowledge as he could."
"We should still go after him." Aku Aku said. "He might know how to stop this."
"And one more thing." N. Crypt said. "Dragnarok, meet me at the Eiffel Tower. I think a little rematch is in order." N. Crypt then ends the broadcast.
"Let's go!" Coco declared before they jumped down into the streets.
Meanwhile, Ladybug, Cat Noir, and the rest of Team Draconic were busy fight off the lizard monsters.
"They just keep coming!" Ladybug shouted as she flings a monster away with her yo-yo.
"Just who is this N. Crypt guy?" Cat Noir asked as he bonks a monster in the head with his staff.
"He's someone from Bandicoot's universe." A voice said.
Follow it, the duo saw that it was Dragnarok and crew.
"Should've figured you were involved in some way." Ladybug said before looking at Coco and Lani-Loli. "Who are they?"
"This is Coco, Bandicoot's younger sister." Dragnarok said, gesturing to Coco before gesturing to Lani-Loli. "And this is Lani-Loli."
"Nice to meet ya!" Coco greeted.
"You too." Echidna said with a smile.
"Anyway, we need to head to the Eiffel Tower. N. Crypt is waiting for us." Aku Aku said.
"Easier said then done." Dragnarok said as a large horde of the lizard monsters starts to apporach them.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, falling off the TVi Studio's rooftop were a bunch of Nitro Crates and a few TNT Crates, which lands on the monsters, creating a huge explosion, forcing the heroes to take cover.
Once the explosions stop and the smoke clears, everyone saw that the lizard monsters were still alive, but unconscious and were covered in burned marks.
?!
"...What the hell was that?!" Dragnarok shouted, as he and the other heroes just stared in shock.
"...Anyway... Let's get going." Swallow said, snapping everyone out of their trance.
And with that, they continue on.
They soon reached the base of the Eiffel Tower, where they found N. Crypt waiting for them.
"Oh Goodie, you made it!" N. Crypt said in a cheerful voice. "I'm glad my Dragnazards didn't caused you too much trouble."
"Dragnazards? You mean those lizard monsters that had been swarming the city?" Dragnarok asked.
"Indeed. You see, since we've last fought each other, I have been growing my own private army, using the data I've collected from you." N. Crypt said, shocking the heroes.
"So these things are clones of Dragnarok?" Grizzly asked.
"Yes, but they are inferior to the real deal, as they lack the ability to use any elemental attacks." N. Crypt said. "However, they do share his immunity to the power of the Miraculous." He then gestures to the legs of the Eiffel Tower. "But you're not here for that. You're here to fight, right? Well then, let's give the citizens of Paris a show!"
Look at where he was gesturing, the heroes saw that there was a camera by each leg of the Eiffel Tower.
"So, you want all of Paris to see your defeat? Fine by me!" Siorc taunted.
"Who said I was going be the one you fight?" N. Crypt asked, confusing everyone. "Oh Todo!"
Suddenly, a loud thud could be heard from from behind the heroes.
Turning around, they saw that it a humanoid coyote-fox hybrid. He was 7'5" tall and had dull scarlet fur with white patches. He was wearing a midnight-blue tank top with match cargo shorts and a pair of black military boots. He had a muscular body shape, not a bodybuilder type like Tiny Tiger, but more like a swimmer's build. He had coyote ears and a fox tail. Finally, his right eye was a dull violet while his left eye was pupilless and had a scar running down it.
"So, this is the Dragnarok and Bandicoot guys you were interested in?" The coyote-fox hybrid said in a gruff tone as he crosses his arms. "Hope this is a case of "looks can be deceiving"."
"What is that?!" Ladybug shouted in shock.
"Behold one of my greatest creations, Todo T. Foxoto!" N. Crypt declared. He then stretches' his left arm out. "Shell-Ter!"
A giant, glitching Shell-Ter then forms around Dragnarok and Todo.
"What?!" The Miraculous wielders shouted.
"That's N. Crypt's shtick." Coco said. "He collects all sorts of data and knowledge, especially the powers of others, and uses them himself. Including the power of Miraculous."
"Which I gained from my world's version of you lot." N. Crypt said in a proud tone. "I have Cataclysm, Lucky Charm, Akumatization, Amokization, Venom, Mirage, and Second Change, just to name a few."
The Miraculous wielding heroes, along with Gabriel, Hestia, and Nathalie, who were watching the event thanks to the cameras, stared at the scientist in shock.
Meanwhile, in the Shell-Ter, Dragnarok looks around.
"A cage match, huh?" The draconic hero asked.
"Yeah, I wanted to fight you one-on-one." Todo said as he starts stretching. "The shell thing was just a way to keep your friends from interfering." Finishing his stretching, the hybrid mutant looks Dragnarok dead in the eye. "So. How's my little brother?"
"Little brother?" Dragnarok asked before widening his eyes. "You mean-?"
"Nix? Yes." Todo said. "You see, I was made first, so that makes Nix the younger sibling. Pops wanted him to have a clean stale, and I have been wondering how he's doing."
"From what I heard, he's doing fine. In fact, he's in a relationship with Coco." Dragnarok said, pointing a thumb to the female bandicoot.
"Good for him." Todo said before taking a stance. "Okay then... Let's do this!"
Todo suddenly charges at the draconic hero with surprising speed.
Using Dragon Time, Dragnarok was able to dodge by the skin of his teeth.
The draconic hero then retaliates with a fireball, only for Todo to cartwheel out of the way.
"Figured you'd use your elemental powers. Luckily, Pops warned me about them." Todo said as he takes a metallic orb out of his pocket and throws it at Dragnarok, which then morphs into a belt-like object and wraps around the draconic hero's chest.
"What the-?!" Dragnarok shouted as a tugged on the device for a bit. He then tries to make another fireball, only for the device to start beeping before the draconic hero suddenly felt a burning sensation run through his whole body. "Agh!"
"The Dragnazards aren't the only thing Pops made with your data." Todo said with chuckle. "With that attached to your body, you'll feel pain everything you try to use your elemental abilities."
Dragnarok growled to himself, smart opponents were always tricky. Shaking the pain away, the draconic hero took a boxer stance.
"Bring it!"
The two then charge at each other, engaging in good old fisticuffs. Trading blow for blow, the two combatants were not giving an inch.
Seeing Todo winding up from a powerful strike, Dragnarok gets an idea.
As the hybrid unleashes his attack, Dragnarok moves his body in a way that has the blow directly hits the device, breaking it.
Before Todo could take in what just happen, Dragnarok releases an Ice Stream, freezing everything except the mutant's head.
"Clever... Very Clever." Todo said in a impressed tone. "I would applaud you, but..."
"Yeah, yeah..." Dragnarok said as he melts the ice, freeing the mutant as the Shell-Ter dispels.
"Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous!" N. Crypt shouted. "I've got all the data I'd need. So, we'll take our leave."
A quantum rift then opens, and all the Dragnazards marched into it.
"Well, that was fun. Hope to have another round with ya." Todo said before walking in front of the rift. But before he jumps, he turns to face Dragnarok. "Dragnarok, Bandicoot, do me one favor. Do not tell Nix about my existence. I wish to introduce myself when the time is right." Getting a nod from the two, hybrid gives them a smile before jumping through the rift.
Suddenly, a second quantum rift opens.
"Head through here, it'll take you to the next Quantum Mask." N. Crypt said before jumping into the first rift, which then closes.
"Dragnarok... Bandicoot... Just what is going on?" Ladybug asked.
"Long story short, time and space is breaking, the multiverse is at risk, and we need to find the other Quantum Masks." Lani-loli said.
"Look, just stay here so Hawk Moth doesn't get any ideas." Dragnarok said.
"Fine... But we want a full explanation when you get back." Echidna stated.
With a nod, Dragnarok, along with Bandicoot, Coco, Aku Aku, and Lani-loli, jumped into the rift.
While this was happening, a quantum rift opens on a rooftop, and popping out of it was Nix.
"What the-?!" He shouted as he look around. "Paris? How did I get here?" He then saw the Dragnazards rampaging around the city. "Wow, those don't look friendly."
He then saw a samll pack of them heading straight towards him.
Now, normally, Nix isn't afraid to get into a fight when one presents itself. However, seeing he was outnumbered, he knew it'll be smarter to run away and live another day.
Taking off, Nix jumps from rooftop to rooftop with ease, thanks to his training.
Thankfully, the Dragnazards weren't as nimble and ended up falling into the various alleyways around the city.
Stopping at the rooftop of the TVi Studio, Nix let's out of sigh of relief.
"Lost them." He said before noticing a bunch of Nitro Crates and a few TNT Crates on a cart of some sort. "How did these get here?" He didn't have too much time to ponder as he soon noticed his friends down in the Paris streets being approached by a huge horde of Dragnazards. "Guys!" Thinking fast, Nix rolls the carts over to the edge before dumping the explosive crates onto the horde, putting the horde down for the count.
Forming a proud look on his face, Nix then notices a quantum rift opening behind, which then sucks him in before the hybrid could utter a word.
And that's that!
I'm sorry this took a mouth to make, but I had a lot of my plate, such as a dentist appointment.
But yeah, Nix has an older brother, who is also a hybrid of two different canine breed.
Fun fact: Todo means All in Spanish. So Todo and Nix are "All or Nothing"!
Also, when you see "?!" in the chapter, that's when the effect of the other characters (Nix, Alternate Tawna, Dingodile, and Cortex) had impacted Dragnarok, Bandicoot, and Coco's journey.
Anyway, I hoped you all enjoy, Happy St. Patricks Day, and I'll see you next time!
