Ben opened a Miraculous Box and as always a glowing orb emerged from the box and floated around Ben, the orb morphed into a Kwami, the Kwami had a red body with a white face and belly, the tips of its hands and feet were black and it had a pair of black antlers. The Kwami looked at Ben "ah, hello there, you must be my Wielder, I am Bucck, and I am the Kwami of the Deer Miraculous, it is a pleasure to meet you" Ben responded "sorry my dude" Ben flashed his Miraculous "already got a partner...well, two partners" Bucck grimaced "ah, I see you have...those two" Prowwl and Sturnn emerged from behind Ben, Prowwl was the one who spoke first "well, well, well, if it isn't Bucck, how's it been? Being stuck in that box". Ben was surprised by the hostility from Prowwl. Bucck scoffed "of course I'm stuck with you two, such ruffians" Sturnn growled at Bucck and Ben took the hint "okay so let's just shelf this conversation for now" Bucck went back into the box and Ben closed it and put it down on his desk. Ben leaned back "man, guess you guys and Bucck have a history" Prowwl responded "I guess you could say that, with us being of the Wolf and him being of the Deer makes us...rivals in a sense" Ben began to think "we're outmatched, from what I saw from Darkbug she outclassed me, her powers are beyond what I'm used to, and she has henchmen just as powerful".

Ben exited his apartment, it was finally Spring Break and he was going to use this time to find the Shards, day and night he'll search. Ben rounded a corner and into an alleyway where he was hidden "Prowwl, Let's Hunt!" Ben transformed and Beowulf leaped onto a rooftop, he saw an airplane overhead "mom and dad shouldn't be back till after Spring Break so that gives me ample time to search the city" Beowulf closed his eyes, he took a deep breath through his nose taking in all the information from the city, he could smell the faint cologne of a salaryman on his way to work, the trash from 20 block away, he suddenly caught a scent that was familiar but still concerning "Gunpowder..." Beowulf whispered before heading off in the direction of the smell. Beowulf landed and looked around "well well well, looks like that nose does smell anything" Beowulf looked to a dark alleyway to see Darkbug sauntering out of the darkness "ah, so the rats really are bigger here" Darkbug frowned "oh, you wound me dear Wulf, looks like I'll have to wound you" she pulled out her yo-yo and opened it pulling out a giant single edged sword, Beowulf brandished his Tekko Kagi claws "bring it on!" They both dashed off at one another, Beowulf and Darkbug collided pushing against one another "ooooh, you've gotten stronger, I can tell, maybe you'll stand a chance this time" they both pushed off eachother "hey, we had a tie last time" Beowulf jumped up and stabbed at Darkbug, she blocked the strike, Beowulf swung down and kicked Darkbug in the chest knocking her back "oh yeah, you're definitely better than that guy I killed, he lost an arm but you're a lot more sturdy" Beowulf took a pause "who was it?" Darkbug could feel the malice in his voice "he was a blondie, green eyes, totally my type but I had to kill him, too bad his journal got away" Darkbug saw Beowulf began to vibrate and shift until he disappeared from sight, Darkbug looked around for him until she felt an intense pain in her gut, she looked down to see three long blades sticking out from her stomach, she couldn't talk as dark smoke poured from the wound "so you're the one who did it" Beowulf whispered in her ear before pulling his blades out and spin kicking her into a wall, smashing it.

Darkbug erupted from the wreckage holding a bazooka and firing it, Beowulf jumped dodging missle, he then cloned himself and threw his clone at Darkbug hitting her with a devastating headbutt that sent her tumbling back "ow, how did you know I could regenerate?" Beowulf stood infront of her "I didn't" he replied coldly before rushing forward and delivering a massive right hook to Darkbug sending her through a brick wall and sprawling her onto the street. Darkbug got to her feet with Beowulf in hot pursuit, Beowulf hit Darkbug with a knee to her chest and began to wail on her with a barrage of punches, Darkbug threw her knee into Beowulf's side causing him to stutter for a milisecond, Darkbug took advantage and hit Beowulf with a quick lefthook, Darkbug threw out her yo-yo wrapping it around Beowulf's neck, she then pulled and hit Beowulf in the face with her knee then turned around and threw Beowulf over her shoulder into the side of a sedan parked on the street, a grenade suddenly rolled infront of Beowulf exploding sending him and the car flying through the air, Beowulf landed on his feet and caught the burning remains of the car tossing it at Darkbug. Darkbug slashed through the car with her Giant Blade and Beowulf hit her with a gutshot that caused her to keel over "ugh, wow, I really did make you mad, if I had a liver it would've been minced by that hit.

Beowulf let Darkbug get up "lemme just catch my breath" Beowulf threw a kick into her face sending her tumbling down the road. Beowulf rushed forward throwing punches into her causing her to tumble further, Beowulf uppercutted Darkbug. Beowulf jumped up and put his hands together delivering a double axe handle to Darkbug sending her straight into the concrete. Beowulf landed and a familiar smell permeated his nose "what is he doing here?" Darkbug took advantage of his distraction and spawned a spear, thrusting it at Beowulf, Beowulf grabbed the blade tightly and snapped the tip of the spear off before striking Darkbug with a massive right hook that sent her straight through the road, large pillars of debris jutted from the earth.

Meanwhile in a Rift in Time

Chronoa watched the battle unfold "she needs help...Pangolin, go ahead and assist her, and bring me the shard while you're at it" Chronoa focused her power into a shard that she had forcing a portal to open "you're lucky Shroud acquired this shard, I wouldn't be able to send two of you otherwise" Pangolin licked his teeth and stepped through the portal

Back in New York

Beowulf sniffed the air, another scent had joined, it was hostile, suddenly crystaline structures erupted from an alleyway, Beowulf jumped back avoiding them "no..." Beowulf looked to the alleyway, only illuminated by the faint glow of crystals, Pangolin's monsterous visage was revealed "it's you..." Beowulf muttered as his fist tightened up before leaping with his fist reeled back toward Pangolin.

Mason walked down the street listening to his favorite song as usual "Smash the Graveyard Stone". Suddenly a blue figure flew by his vision and into a parked car, Mason looked to see that it was Beowulf, he looked to the right to see The Pangolin stomping down the street with Darkbug sitting on top of him "oh shitcakes" Mason said before rushing to Beowulf, he helped him up "are you okay man?" Beowulf looked at Mason "run...before you get hurt" Mason shook his head "no way, this fight is way to close to my house, I gotta do what I can" Beowulf thought about it "okay...I'll let you help but these two are stronger than what you've faced" Beowulf opened up the flat part of his claw and reached in pulling out a Miraculous, it was the Gorilla Miraculous "here, I'm guessing this'll help" Mason took the Miraculous and put it on "Taarza, Make a Beat!" Mason transformed, his costume was a bit more flamboyant than before, he had a long, red coat with a white trim, his mask was now an eye mask with white completely enveloping his eyes, his hair became bright red and fashioned into a large forward tilting fauxhawk, underneath his coat was a black suit and pants with red dress shoes "huh, that's a new look" Kong nodded "been playing a game called Personage, I like the main character's style". Kong pointed his fist at the two and fired a rocket punch, the projectile caused Darkbug to jumped off of Pangolin where Beowulf was waiting, Beowulf then punched Darkbug into the ground. The fist came back hitting Pangolin causing him to tumble over, Kong then threw a huge uppercut slightly lifting Pangolin off the ground, Pangolin then brought both of his fists, Kong blocked it and locked grips with Pangolin both trying to knock eachother over.

Chronoa witnessed the battle, she began to sense something "ah, it's finally revealing itself, Darkbug retrear for now, let Pangolin take care of this" Darkbug rolled her eyes "fine..." a portal opened up and swallowed her before Beowulf could reach her. Pangolin lifted Kong and slammed him on the ground before tossing him through a building. Pangolin looked around and spotted it, a time rift had opened up and a shard revealed itself "perfect" the beast groaned as he approached it, Beowulf suddenly tackled the monster and Kong joined in both trying to bring him down. All of them tumbled into the rift sending them somewhere...
