Hey everyone, this is going to be a special chapter, as it's the first of my own Akuma villain stories! In these kinds of stories, everyone gets a POV, as I have more freedom to do as I want. The first OC villain is Robin Goodfellow. Interesting fact is, she was made by my good friend, Dragon of Mystery. This is sort of a thanks for inspiring me to write my own stories. Also, one more thing. Since Miraculous Ladybug was designed to sort of be a romantic magic sentai show, Drake will have a love interest. As of now, there are only a few candidates. Some are canon characters, others are OC characters. In the end, there will be official pairing for Drake.
Also, here are the answers to more questions that fan-like-irving sent.
1: Yes, it was intentional, Dragnarok's dragon side flares up whenever he does a Fury attack.
2: That will be explained in the next trial.
3: Again, it'll be explained in the next trial chapter. Also, Drake needs Spyro and Cynder in order to become Dragnarok, as his abilities as his civil self are VERY limited.
Now that's out of the way, on to the story!
Entry #11
Malefor has been in this world... How and why is still unknown, but the point is that the Dark Master has been here once. After a ton of research and digging around the internet, I found out that the Egyptians buried the event involving Malefor out of fear. On to current events, my reputation is at a all time low. After the events of Pharaoh, the citizens of Paris now think I'm a demon here to curse them or something. This might make it harder for me down the line...
Opening Intro(Could Have Been Me by The Struts)(I don't own the song)
"Don't be bemused, it's just the news!" Nadja said she began a news cast from TVi. "A few days ago, a villain known as Pharaoh threaten to sacrifice a innocent girl, but luckily, Ladybug and Cat Noir came to save the day. Before the villain was defeat, he revealed that Dragnarok, who was also there at the time, was related to a demonic dragon who came to Earth and defeated Ladybug 5000 years before eventually getting sent back to where it came from, but not before casting down the infamous Plagues of Egypt on the populace."
As Nadja talked, picture appeared on her side, the first showing Pharaoh, then Alya, then Ladybug and Cat Noir, then Dragnarok, then the picture of Malefor from the papyrus. A picture of Dragnarok with a question mark appeared as Nadja continue.
"This begs the question, is Dragnarok really a hero? Or is he really a demon pretending to be a hero in order to fool us? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more."
At the Boulangerie Patisserie, Marinette was watching the news cast on her computer, with a strange creature on her shoulder that had ladybug-like characteristics. This was Tikki, Kwami of the Ladybug Miraculous.
"Is this true, Tikki? That the Ladybug of that time fought this dragon and lost?" Marinette asked.
"Yes. The dragon's name was Malefor. He called himself the Dark Master, and let's just say he earned that title." Tikki said while shivering. "The Ladybugs I've been with have fought may evils over the years, but none more so then him."
"He was that bad?" Marinette asked.
"That bad?! Let's just say that Pharaoh was right in calling him a demon." Tikki said, remembering the raw power, the dark cruelty, and those eyes... Those yellow, reptilian eyes that can make the bravest of heroes cower just by looking at them.
"And Dragnarok has his powers..." Marinette murmured. The bluenette shivered as she imaged the draconic enigma walking through the destroyed remains of Paris with a dark look on his face.
"Not exactly..." Tikki said, having heard her wielder. "If I recall, Malefor had control over numerous elemental powers. Dragnarok so far only has control over two, Fire and Poison."
"So that means he doesn't have all of his powers!" Marinette said excitedly, thinking there was a fighting chance. Tikki, however, wasn't as optimistic.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, Marinette. As you've see, Dragnarok, despite only having two elements, was able fight the villains relatively well. There is also the fact he is not an akuma, so that means you must fight him differently. Not to mention that the Miraculous' powers have ZERO effect on him, meaning that your powers can't undo any damage he causes." The Kwami warned.
"Still, we can't let him have this power." Marinette said. She never did trusted the draconic "hero". Tikki was still unsure.
They were not the only watching the news cast, as in the Agreste mansion, Adrien was on his computer with his own Kwami, this one looking similar to a small black cat. This was Plagg, the Kwami of the Cat Miraculous.
"So you're telling me that Ladybug fought this thing years ago, and lost?" Adrien asked his Kwami partner.
"At least that's what I've heard. Personally, I never met Malefor, but from what I've heard, Tikki, Ladybug's Kwami, still fears him to this day." Plagg answered. Adrien gained a concerned look on his face.
"What about the fact that Dragnarok is somewhat related to this dragon?" Adrien asked in a worry tone.
"Well, from what I've seen, he seems to be trying to avoid being like Malefor." said Plagg. Adrien cupped his chin in thought. The model could see that Dragnarok was always trying to the right thing and protect Paris' civilians. He still wasn't 100% sure, but he'll give Dragnarok a benefit of the doubt.
"So... Do you have any Camembert?" Plagg asked, earning him glare from the Cat Miraculous wielder.
The next morning, Drake wandered through Francoise Dupont during break period in a daze. From the time he woke up to now, he has been... off. He was dozing off in class and was getting snappy with almost everyone. His friends are starting to worry about him. They tried to talk to him, only to be rebuffed by him. Why was he like this? You can be amazed by what a simple nightmare can do...
Drake found himself in the middle of Paris, or at least... What's left of it...
Buildings reduced to rumble, streets littered with bodies, and the Eiffel Tower? Completely destroyed.
Drake looked around in pure horror before a large shadow appeared behind him. Turning around, Drake spotted the one who caused all this.
Malefor.
The evil purple dragon stared down at the terrified human with a smirk. Suddenly, two more dragons landed right next to him. Once Drake got a good view of them, his eyes widen in terror. Standing at Malefor's sides were Spyro and Cynder.
However, they didn't look at all like what Drake knows them as. Along with a sudden growth spurt, they looked down right Demonic.
Drake took a step back in fear. But when he did, he heard a snap. Looking down, he saw that he stepped on a bone. Two skeletons were nearby, both wearing a VERY familiar red black-spotted and black leathery tight-suits.
Suddenly, Spyro and Cynder were absorbed into his wristbands. Once then entered, Drake felt this burning anger blazing inside him as blackness engulfed his vision. The last thing Drake saw was a pair of yellow eyes with blood red irises and lizard slit pulps.
Drake closed his eyes and shook his head. He was so focused in trying to banish the memories of the nightmare from his head, he wasn't paying attention to where he was going until-
"Oof!"
-He bumped into someone. Landing on his rear, Drake regained focus and saw that he bumped into a girl. The girl was around his age, had short red hair, was wearing a midnight blue t-shirt with a pair of jeans and sneakers, and in her hands was an archery bow.
"Oh! Sorry about that Drake" The girl apologized.
"No need, Scarlett. I wasn't paying attention to were I was going." Drake said as he got up before offering the girl a hand.
This was Scarlett Archer, a classmate of Drake's who has a passion for archery. Her family was... not very well funded, to put it lightly. Her parents and older sister were working long hours at dead end jobs to help Scarlett continue school. When Drake hear about this, he managed to convince his parents to donated some money to help them. This earned the Firstbournes the eternal gratitude of the Archer family.
"Thanks" Scarlett said as she got up before look at Drake in concern. "Are you alright Drake? I've noticed that you haven't been yourself lately."
"It's nothing." Drake replied. Scarlett wasn't convinced, but before she could say anything, the bell ringed, signaling that free period was over.
"Best be heading back to class. See later, Scarlett." Drake said before taking off. Scarlett looked at his retreating form in concern before heading to her own class.
A few hours later, and school was let out. Scarlett was getting some stuff from her locker until she spotted Chloe walk up to her with a smug look on her face. Scarlett sighed as she closed her locker. Thanks to her family's slightly below average income, she was one of Chloe's favorite targets for teasing and humiliation. Usually, Drake would step in and have the snobby blonde back off. But right now, he was nowhere in sight, and Chloe knows this.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the little peasant." Chloe greeted, using her nickname for Scarlett.
"What do you what, Chloe?" The redhead asked, wanting to get this over with.
"Stuff that you'll never get in your lifetime." The blonde said snobbishly. "I still can't believe the Firstbournes would waste time and money of you and your family."
"Hey! Drake and his family were helping those in need, just like when Ladybug and Cat Noir save Paris!" Scarlett shouted.
"Don't compare an act of pity with heroes. Ladybug and Cat Noir have better things to do then hang around with someone of your class." Scoffed Chloe.
That was the straw that broken the camel's back, as Scarlett grabbed her thing, shoved Chloe out of the way, and left with an angry growl. After a while of stomping, she sat down on a nearby park bench.
Anger clouded her mind as she mentally cursed at Chloe. Who was she to think she can look down at those who at less fortunate?! She did, however, as much as Scarlett loathes to admit it, she had a point about Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Besides fighting the akumatized villains that pop up, the only event they seem to show up to was the unveiling of the Ladybug and Cat Noir's statues, and even then, only Cat Noir showed up! Was the unveil not even worth Ladybug's time?! There were also numerous charity events, and not once did Ladybug and Cat Noir show up to any of them!
Scarlett then started to think that Ladybug and Cat Noir didn't fight the villains to protect Paris, they only fought them for fame.
Scarlett growled to herself. If she could, she would show everyone that the two "heroes" were nothing but fakes.
A window opens, letting in little a light into a dark room. The light reveals Hawk Moth standing in the center of a mass of white butterflies. Standing off to the side was Damselfly.
"A young heart and mind, fill with anger and doubt, what a perfect candidate for my Akuma." The villain said as he held out his hand, letting a butterfly land on it. Hawk Moth then puts his other hand over the bug, corrupting it and turning it into an Akuma. It then flies out of his hand.
"Fly away, my little Akuma, and evilize her." Hawk Moth said while twirling his cane, as he watched the Akuma fly out the window and into Paris to find it's victim.
Scarlett continue to sulk, not noticing the Akuma flying towards the bow in her hand. Once it land on it, the Akuma was absorbed.
"Hello, Robin Goodfellow, I am Hawk Moth." The villain telepathically greeted as a purple butterfly light mask appeared on Scarlett's face. "You simple want to help those who are less fortunate, unlike Ladybug and Cat Noir. If you help me get their Miraculouses, I'll help you show the world what a true hero is. Do I have your word?"
"Indeed, Hawk Moth." Scarlett said as she stood up. Darkness poured out from were the Akuma landed and covered Scarlett's body. Once the cloud of darkness lifted, a new person was standing in her place.
The person was wearing a midnight blue cloak, with the hood over her head. Over her eyes was a butterfly shaped domino mask, coupled with a piece of cloth covering her mouth. Underneath the cloak was a grey bodysuit with white knee high boots with a slight heel. And in her hand was a bow with the string being made of pure energy.
This was Robin Goodfellow.
"Time to show everyone how wrong they are about Ladybug and Cat Noir!" She said as she jumps to the rooftops before running off.
Drake slumped onto his bed once he got home. Spyro and Cynder looked at the human in concern.
"Drake? Are you alright?" Spyro asked. Drake just gave them an agitated look.
"Really? You two as well?"
"Look, something is bothering you, and it will clearly help if you tell someone." Cynder said.
Drake looked at the two before sighing, realizing they're not going to back down. He then started to tell them about his nightmare, and what he saw in it.
Robin Goodfellow was standing on top of Le Grand Paris, ready to make her first move. Stretching her arms out, a green mist appeared. Once the mist lifted, standing in it's place was Ladybug and Cat Noir. However, they had dark and greedy looks on their faces as they enter the hotel.
"And the those eyes were the last thing I saw." Drake said, finishing telling Spyro and Cynder about his nightmare. The two glance at each other for a moment before looking back at Drake.
"What do you think is giving you this nightmare?" Asked Cynder.
"I don't know... I guess the thought of being what the people see me as, a demon, like... Malefor." Drake said in a glum tone. Spyro and Cynder said nothing, before suddenly flying onto Drake's shoulders.
"Listen, I too was afraid of being like Malefor at one point. But with the help of my friends, as well realizing that I have something to fight for, I knew that I was my own person." Spyro said.
"I also had my problems, as I was always haunted by my dark past. But thanks to Spyro, I've put that all behind." Cynder said. Drake looked at the two before smiling.
"Thank you." He said. Getting up, Drake looked out his bedroom window with new hope.
"You know what? I feel like I can take on any challenge!" Drake said with bounding vigor. He then looks at his draconic friends. "Feel like going on patrol?"
Spyro and Cynder looked at each other before nodding.
"Transform Me!"
In the lobby of Le Grand Paris, the fake Ladybug and Cat Noir walking in with everyone nearby staring in shock and awe. The Mayor, Andre, approached the two.
"Ladybug! Cat Noir! What a surprise! What brings you two here?" Andre asked. The two "heroes" looked that each other, both wearing a dark smirk, before looking back at the Mayor.
"We're here to collect our dues." "Ladybug" said before shoving the Mayor onto his rear. The two then started to take anything of value that wasn't nail down. From paintings and rugs to people's personal items, such as jewelry and electronics. People started to flee in order to prevent their possessions from getting stolen.
"What's the meaning of this?! Stop it right now, you two!" Andre shouted as he got up, only to be shove back onto the floor by "Cat Noir", who let out a cruel laugh.
Flying over the city, Dragnarok took a deep breath before letting out a happy sigh as he felt the wind blow against his face.
"Man, I really needed this." He said.
~Tell me about it.~ Cynder said.
-It's nice to see you back to your old self.- Spyro said.
Dragnarok nodded, before looking down, noticing something.
"Something is going on that Le Grand Paris. Best check it out." He muttered to himself. Dragnarok then landed on a nearby rooftop to observe the area. He then spotted "Ladybug" and Cat Noir" running out the front entrance carrying various valuables.
"Okay, now I know something wrong." Dragnarok said before jumping down and landing in front of the two.
"What do you two think you are doing?" He asked. The two just sneered at him.
"If you must know, we're collecting the debt Paris owes us, Demon." "Cat Noir" rudely said. Dragnarok was a little hurt by the demon comment, but didn't show it.
"Debt? What debt?" The draconic hero asked.
"The debt for saving their worthless hides." "Ladybug" answered. Dragnarok looked at them in shock before taking a stance.
"Well, whatever is going on with you two, I going to stop it." He said. "Ladybug" and "Cat Noir" growled as they took out their weapons. Before anyone made a move, a arrow of pure energy flew above "Ladybug's" head, barely grazing her. Looking back at the arrow's trajectory path, the three spotted Robin Goodfellow on the rooftop of a nearby building.
"Need any help?" She asked as she jumps down to ground level.
"Who are you?" Dragnarok couldn't help but ask.
"Call me Robin Goodfellow. Right now, it's best that we work together to stop them." The archer said as she stares at the "heroes", who glared at her.
"Fine, but I want a full explanation when this is over." Dragnarok said before resuming his stance.
The four stared at each other before "Ladybug" made the first move by swinging her yo-yo at Robin Goodfellow, who quickly dodge before countering with an energy arrow that managed to hit "Ladybug", causing her to drop the valuables she stole. "Cat Noir" tries to retaliate, only to be intercepted by Dragnarok, who cases his fist in fire and-
"Shoryuken!"
-Delivers a devastating uppercut. This sends "Cat Noir" flying, dropping the valuables he stole. The two "heroes" decided to cut their losses and flee. Dragnarok was about to go after them, but was by Robin Goodfellow who place a hand on his shoulder.
"Let them lick their wounds." She said. Dragnarok gave her a look.
"Okay, what's going on? And who are you really?" He asked. The archer simply pointed to the Eiffel Tower.
"Meet me at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and I explain everything." Robin Goodfellow said. The draconic hero narrowed his eyes before nodding. After he flew off, Robin Goodfellow secretly grabbed a handful of the money and jewelry the "heroes" dropped and put in one of the numerous pockets in her cloak before taking off.
On the top of the Eiffel Tower, Dragnarok waited for Robin Goodfellow to appear. While waiting, he was having a mental conversion with his dragon friends.
-You know she's an Akuma, right?- Spyro asked.
"I figured as much. I'm just playing along until I get a basic understanding of her powers and what's with Ladybug and Cat Noir." Dragnarok mentally answered.
~Just be careful, Drake.~ Cynder said. Before he could say anything else, he spotted Robin Goodfellow using parkour to get to the top. Once she made it, Dragnarok just stared,
"High acrobatics... That's one power off the list." He thought. Shaking his head, Dragnarok ask the question that was plaguing his mind.
"What is going on?!"
"Look, I know you don't trust me..." Robin Goodfellow started.
"What makes you say that?" Dragnarok asked with sarcasm dripping from every letter of every word.
"But I'm the good guy, you got to believe me on that." The archer finished. She then puts an arm out, gesturing towards the view of Paris they have. "Paris is danger now. Ladybug and Cat Noir have given into their greed and want everyone to give up their valuables to them as payment for protection."
Dragnarok stared at her, not believing a single word she was saying.
"They need to be stop, but I can't do it on my own. Will you please help me?" Robin Goodfellow finished, extending her hand out. Dragnarok looks at her for a sec before grabbing the archer's hand.
"I'll help, only to keep an eye on you." The draconic hero said while shaking her hand. Robin Goodfellow simply nodded. With that, Dragnarok flew off. Once he was fully gone, a butterfly-shaped light mask appeared over Robin Goodfellow's face.
"Perfect. We are one step closer in getting Dragnarok on our side." Hawk Moth said. "Soon, the Miraculouses will be mine!"
"Don't be bemused, it's just the news!" Nadja said as she began another news cast.
"Today was a shock to everyone as Paris' heroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir robbed the Le Grand Paris, only to be stopped by Dragnarok and this new archer themed hero, Robin Goodfellow. Several theories about what happened quickly appeared, but none confirmed so far. Some say that the dragon demon brainwashed them with his new servant, others say the heroes gave in to their greed. In other news, Robin Goodfellow makes a generous donation to charity, showing everyone that you don't need to be fight villains to be a hero. Stay tune for more."
Marinette and Tikki were watching the event from a computer, with the former seething.
"Why that..." The bluenette could barely contain her anger.
"This Robin Goodfellow must be an Akuma that Hawk Moth sent. We must stop her!" Tikki exclaimed.
"Right. Tikki, Spots On!"
From their own computer, Adrien and Plagg also saw the news cast.
"Not another Copycat..." Adrien said with a sigh.
"Obviously, this Robin Goodfellow is a Akuma." Plagg said before shoving an entire piece of Camembert in his mouth.
"Well, we must stop her. Plagg, Claws Out!"
Standing on a rooftop, Robin Goodfellow was observing her next target, the Agreste mansion. Raising both arms, she once again summons the fake Ladybug and Cat Noir. The two copies jumped down and head for the entrance. Before they could enter...
"Hold it!"
Landing in front of them was the real Ladybug and Cat Noir. Both with less than pleased looks on their faces.
"Who are you two?!" Ladybug demanded.
"Wouldn't you like to know." Her copy said with a sneer. She then throws out her yo-yo and lassos it around the originals waist. With a mighty pull, the fake Ladybug throws the real one over her head and onto the street.
"M'lady!" Cat Noir cried, only to join her by being violently shoved by his copy. The two got up to see Robin Goodfellow landing between the fakes.
"Well, well, well. Looks you decided to show up." The archer said.
"I knew it! You're a Akuma!" Ladybug shouted.
"Ding, ding, ding! Give the spotted one a prize!" Robin Goodfellow said with sarcasm.
"What's with the clones and the framing ?" Cat Noir asked.
"What you call clones, I call perfect reflections." The villain said. The two heroes gained confused looks.
"What do you mean "perfect reflections"?" Ladybug asked.
"They reflect what you two are on the outside AND the inside." Robin Goodfellow said, starting off calm before becoming more agitated. "They show everyone the frauds you are! You two don't care about saving Paris, you two just care about fame and the reward from it! If you two were really heroes, you would've taken taking the time to donate or even help charity events... But no, you two are too busy bathing in the praise of others!"
"Is that so?"
The five followed the voice and spotted Dragnarok leaning against a lamppost.
"I figured you were an Akuma. You can create solid illusions, as I saw you make the fake copies." He said before taking a stance. "Ladybug! Cat Noir! You two handle you're clones, I'll take on Robin Goodfellow."
The two nodded before they all noticed an Odonata flying in and landing on the villain's bow.
"Greetings, Robin Goodfellow. I am Damselfly, and I bestow upon you the power to fire multiple arrows at once."
"Thank you, Damselfly." Robin Goodfellow said before firing a barrage of energy arrows at the draconic hero. Using Dragon Time, Dragnarok managed to dodge the arrows before firing a fireball, only for the archer to dodge.
Dragnarok then decided to using a new trick he thought of. Creating a ball of fire in one hand, and a glob of poison in the other, he pressed them together, creating a gas with a horrific smell that brought the villain to her knees (Along with the heroes and their copies), leaving her open.
Walking up to her, Dragnarok grabbed Robin Goodfellow's bow and snaps it in half, releasing the Akuma.
"Ladybug! You're up!" Dragnarok shout. Ladybug nodded as she readied herself.
"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" She shouted before throwing her yo-yo and catching the akuma. "Gotcha!" She then releases the purified butterfly. "Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" She then throws her yo-yo into the air, releasing a swarm of ladybugs that repair any damages. Robin Goodfellow was engulf in a cloud of darkness before returning into Scarlett Archer.
"What the... Where am I?" The redhead asked.
"Pound it!" Ladybug and Cat Noir while fist bumping. Seeing that his work was done, Dragnarok took off.
"Don't expect Dragnarok to always save you forever, Ladybug!" Hawk Moth shouted, angered by another lost. "When he's under my thumb, you wouldn't stand a chance!"
"Yes, only time will tell." Damselfly muttered as the window closes.
"And this Akuma was able to make fake version of the heroes, framing them." Nadja said, as Drake and his dragon friends were watching her from Drake's computer. "As always, Ladybug and Cat Noir managed to defeat the Akuma and save the day."
That's when Drake shut off his computer, letting out a sigh.
"While I'm a little miffed that I wasn't credited with defeating Robin Goodfellow, I'm glad Paris is once again safe for the time being."
"And I'm glad you're back to your usually self." Cynder said.
"And I have you two to thank." Drake said with smile.
"It's probably for the best to leave all this Malefor stuff behind." Spyro said.
"Amen." Drake said before he heard his father calling.
"Drake! Dinners ready!"
"Coming!" Drake said as he ran downstairs. Spyro and Cynder, who stayed behind, smiled at the young man's retreating form.
And that's the end of the first original Akuma. So tell me what you think. Robin Goodfellow was a cross between the fairy tale ,Robbin Hood, and the Marvel villain, Mysterio. Hope you enjoyed it.
