The next villain for Dragnarok to fight is the Evillustrator. If you're surprised by another chapter so soon, let's just say I was in the zone.
Also, to answer the of Nighthawk6595, and those who have been wondering, yes, Hawk Moth is waiting for Dragnarok to reach his full potential before akumatizing him. There is also the fact that Hawk Moth can't send out a normal akuma out, as Dragnarok is immune to the power of the Miraculouses. So Hawk Moth has to use the "outside source" he attained to have a chance of akumatizing the draconic hero. What that source is will be revealed in time. But as of right now, Hawk Moth is trying to figure out how use this source with his akumas.
Hopefully that answers the question, and I hope you all enjoy the chapter.
Entry #14
Just test my new lightning powers, and I was lucky that this was super effective against Lady Wifi (Who was Alya akumatized). I took her out with a Headbash. It knocked her out cold, but I hear that she was able to make a fast recovery. Anyway, I'm ready to take on the next akuma.
Opening Intro(Could Have Been Me by The Struts)(I don't own the song)
At Francoise Depout, Drake was in Ms. Mendeleiev's class taking science. As he jotting down notes, he looked over to see his table partner, Nathaniel, was drawing and he was in the zone. He then noticed the teacher coming up to their table, looking at Nathaniel with a cross look.
"Dude..." Drake whispered, trying to get the redhead's attention, but he was so absorbed into his drawing that he didn't hear.
"Nathaniel! What are you drawing?" Ms Mendeleiev asked/shouted as she slammed the table. This got Nathaniel's attention.
"Wha, wha-" Was all he could mutter out.
"And these artistic endeavours are clearly why you are failing science." The teacher continued.
"I'm sorry..."
"You go march yourself down to the principal's office and show him that checked scratch! Then you'll be really sorry!" Ms Mendeleiev finished. Grabbing his stuff, Nathaniel headed out, only to trip on another student's bag, dropping his sketchbook, which was instantly picked up by Chloe.
"Ooh! Look, Sabrina! It's him as a superhero! And look who he's saving! It's Marinette!" She said, show everyone a drawing in the sketchbook, which depicted Nathaniel, dressed as a superhero, hugging Marinette. "He's so totally crushing on you, Marinette!"
"Gimme that!" Nathaniel shouted, grabbing his book back with his face as red as his hair.
"Enough! Nathaniel, go!" Ms Mendeleiev shouted as Nathaniel marched out. Drake sighed, feeling bad for Nathaniel. The guy had his crush broadcast across the room. After sending Chloe a quick glare, Drake went back to taking notes.
A while later, and Ms Mendeleiev was assigning groups for a particle physics presentation. One group will have four people while the rest will have three.
"The next particle physics presentation group is the group of four, that being Drake, Nino, Adrien and Alya!" Ms Mendeleiev announced. Looking at his three partners, Drake flashed them a thumbs-up.
"Oh! So lucky!" Marinette muttered.
"And then, Sabrina, Chloe and Marinette."
"So unlucky." Alya said as Drake cringes, feeling bad for Marinette for having to deal with those two.
"Uh, Miss, can't you add her to another group? Sabrina and I work much better on our own." Chloe asked.
"This is a group presentation, not pairs! Deal with it." Ms Mendeleiev said with a tone that demanded no argument.
"I hate dealing with it!" Chloe whined. While she was having her tamper tantrum, Marinette looked at Alya and Drake with pleading look.
"You two wouldn't be willing to trade groups, would ya?" She asked, no, pleaded.
"No way in hell." Drake said in a dead serious tone.
"And deal with that twosome terror? Sorry. But I promise to talk all about you in between particles and the physics!" Alya said.
"You're the best!" Marinette said, hugging her best friend.
Later that day, Drake was looking for some books that'll help him and his group for the presentation in the school library. After he found what he was looking for, Drake was about to grabbing when-
"No! Not the hair!"
-A whinny voice ranged out. Following it, Drake saw some thing very unusual. Chloe was being chased by a giant, floating, hairdryer. Walking into a isolated area of the library, Drake unzips his fanny pack, letting Spyro and Cynder out.
"Looks like a akuma is on the loose." Spyro said.
"I almost don't want stop this one." Drake said while watching Chloe run from the hairdryer, crying about her hair. "She needs to be knock down a few pegs."
"While I do agree that Chloe should get off her high horse, we shouldn't let the akuma run around freely. Too risky." Cynder said.
"Guess your right." Drake said with a sigh. "Transform Me!
Flying to the hairdryer, Dragnarok saw Ladybug on the giant appliance like a bucking bull. Landing next to him was Cat Noir.
"I got wind that you were being blown away by a hairy situation." The feline hero joked, getting a glare from Dragnarok.
"Fewer puns, more action!" Ladybug shouted as held on the hairdryer.
"Thank you!" Dragnarok said. He then flew at the hairdryer and pressed the trigger button, turning off and causing it to disintegrate. That's when Cat Noir spotted the Evillustrator.
"Well, that guy looks pretty sketchy!" He said, getting a annoyed growl from Dragnarok. The three ran after him, only to run into a wall that appeared out of nowhere. Falling on their backs, the three hero groaned as they got up.
"Where'd he go?" Ladybug said as she notices that the villain was nowhere in sight.
"I don't know, but he sure has a way of illustrating his point." Cat Noir said, getting groans from Ladybug and Dragnarok.
Flying through the sky, Dragnarok scanned the area, looking for the Evillustrator. He separated himself from the group, as the plan they had in mind disgusted him. Ladybug suggested that since the akuma was after Chloe, they go and ask her why he might be after her while protecting her, something that Dragnarok was HIGHLY against.
Why? Because A: Most of the akumas were after her since she was the one who caused them. And B through Z: There is no way in hell he was gonna play bodyguard for Chloe of all people!
~You need to focus Drake. I know you don't like Chloe, but I doubt you want to see her get hurt, right?~ Cynder said.
"Yeah... It's just that, she is SO infuriating to deal. Not to mention, she is involuntarily giving Hawk Moth more chances to get the Miraculouses." Dragnarok ranted.
-True, but I'm sure she'll learn to be nice one day.- Spyro said.
"One can only hope." Dragnarok snorted. He then spots a figure near a window of the Dupain-Cheng house. Flying closer, he saw that it's was the Evillustrator, who erased the window pane before entering. Flying closer, he saw the villain talking to Marinette.
"It's you! From the library! What are you doing here?" She asked.
"I just wanted to see you." The villain said. Upon hearing his voice, Dragnarok realized who it was.
"Nathaniel..." Dragnarok thought with sadness.
-It seems that having his crush revealed akumatized him.- Spyro theorized.
~The poor boy...~ Cynder said, feeling bad for the young man.
"Okay... But why did you attack Chloe?" Marinette asked.
"Cause Chloé is cruel and selfish!" Evillustrator shouted.
"Amen, brother." Dragnarok thought, agreeing with the villain.
"Can't argue with that..." Marinette agreed. "Are you going to hurt me?"
"You? You're Marinette! You're beautiful and sweet and... you're perfect and I could never hurt you!" The villain said with passion.
"Well, the akuma did help his confidence." Dragnarok thought to himself.
"Wow...that's, uh... very, umm...flattering! Uh, thank you?" Marinette stuttered, not knowing what to say.
"So, I just came by to ask you, it, uh, well, it's my birthday today, and, uh, would you wanna come to my party?" Evillustrator asked.
"Today is Nathaniel's birthday? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Dragnarok couldn't help but wonder.
"Oh, umm... Actually, it's not really the best night. See, I got a presentation to work on, and...I have to call my friend, so we can meet and..." Marinette said, trying to let the villain down gently.
"Oh please, Marinette! It'll just be you and me." Evillustrator said before drawing an invitation and gives it to the bluenette.
"Oh my gosh! That's...me!" Marinette said, seeing a picture of her on the invitation.
"That's not creepy at all." Dragnarok thought with sarcasm.
"You like it?" The villain asked.
"I...love it! So much that I will absolutely be at your party. On one condition." Marinette said.
"Anything for you, Marinette." Evillustrator said.
"You can't hurt Chloe anymore. I simply cannot bear violence." The bluenette offered.
"For you and only you. Meet you on the left bank, next to Notre-Dame, at sunset!" Evillustrator said with excitement. Drawing a rocketpack, he turns towards the window (Which Dragnarok ducked out of sight), and flies off.
"Why did it felt like that I just watched a romantic sit-com?" Dragnarok asked himself as he took off into the air.
-Well, at least we know were he's going.- Spyro said.
"True." Dragnarok said before sighing. "Sorry Nathaniel, but consider your date crashed."
Arriving at the Seine at night, Dragnarok saw Marinette and Evillustrator on a boat. The draconic hero spotted the villain draw something on his pad before a glowing moon appeared in the sky.
"Okay, I'll admit. This villain's power is cool." Dragnarok said to himself. The power to bring things to life just by drawing them sounded like an awesome ability. He then spotted Cat Noir leaping from the building to the boat. Following him, he then saw Marinette tricking the villain into giving her his pencil. That's when the Evillustrator spotted the feline hero.
"Marinette, give me my pencil back. I need to draw something, now!" The villain demanded, but the bluenette held it in a tight grip.
"No, I'm keeping it! Cat Noir! Now!" She shout as the feline hero extends his staff at Evillustrator, who had a hurt look on his face.
"Marinette! You're working with him? I'm so stupid... I actually thought you liked me! But you're really just like Chloé. Teasing me, mocking me, leading me on!" The villain said with anger and betrayal.
Dragnarok couldn't help but feel bad for the guy. Finally getting a date with the girl he likes, only to find out she was using him. But this was under different circumstances, as this was to help him return to normal.
"Come on! Seriously? Why is everybody comparing me to Chloé tonight?" Marinette complains as Evillustrator kicks Cat Noir's staff, which knocks the pencil out of the bluenette's hand, allowing the villain to reclaim it. Evillustrator then draws a transparent cube that falls and traps Marinette and Cat Noir.
"And I'm taking back my promise! Chloé's gonna get a little lesson she'll never forget!" The villain said before erasing a hole in the boat, causing it to start sinking.
Suddenly, an Odonata flew in and landed on the villain's pencil.
"Greetings, Evillustrator. I am Damselfly, and I bestow upon you the power to increase the number of drawings that you can bring to life." Damselfly said.
"Thank you, Damselfly." Evillustrator said before taking off.
"We've been penned in! Literally!" Cat Noir shouted. Before then could do anything, Dragnarok lands on top of the box.
"Need any help?" He asked in a cheeky voice before grabbing the box and lifting it, freeing the two. "There we go, now to stop Evillustrator."
Dragnarok then takes off, with Cat Noir right behind him.
Entering Chloe's hotel, Dragnarok and Cat Noir saw that Ladybug beat them there.
"Well, well, look what the cat dragged in." The feline hero said.
"No cat dragged me anywhere, Cat Noir. I flew in all on my own." Ladybug replied.
"So what was this secret mission?" Cat Noir couldn't help but ask.
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret." Was the spotted hero's reply.
"Will you two stop flirting and focus on the mission?!" Dragnarok said with his patience growing thin. This got the duo to blush.
"In the comics, this is what's known as the final showdown." Evillustrator said, getting the three's attention. "The thing is, if you knew her, you wouldn't be breaking a sweat to save her skin! She's the real baddie!"
"Oh! It's not true! Everybody adores me!" Chloe said.
"*cough* Bull *cough*" Dragnarok said, pretending to cough. Evillustrator then draws four boxing gloves, which he then fires.
"Look out!" Cat Noir cried as he was knocked by a glove. Dragnarok and Ladybug dodged their's while the spotted hero used her yo-yo to disintegrate the last one, saving Chloe. The Evillustrator draws a wall to protect himself before drawing a buzzsaw which was sent flying at Ladybug. She dodges, but the buzzsaw was now heading towards Chloe. Luckily, she was saved by Cat Noir, who just regain conscious.
Dragnarok fries a stream of electricity at the villain, but he dodges and the attack hits a lamp instead, destroying it. This forces Evillustrator to move to another lamp.
"The light! Cat Noir! He can't draw in the dark!" Labybug said.
"Got it! Cataclysm!" Cat Noir shouted, activating his power. But before he could hit the light switch, Evillustrator erased it from existence, having the feline hero hit the wall instead.
"Here you go, kitty. A little ball and chain to play with." The villain said as he draws a ball and chain, which appears on Cat Noir's ankle.
"Hey!" The feline hero cried with indignity.
"Sadly, those who get in my way get erased." Evillustrator continued as he erases the floor, creating a hole that Cat Noir falls through.
"Okay, that's it!" Dragnarok growled, his patience completely gone. Using his electric powers, he shorted out all that lights in the room, turning everything dark. Dragnarok then grabs the pencil out of the blinded villains hand before looking at Ladybug.
"Ladybug! Catch!" The draconic hero shouted as he tosses the pencil to her, which she catches and breaks, releasing the akuma.
"No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" She said before throwing her yo-yo, capturing the akuma. "Gotcha!" She then releases the now purify butterfly. "Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug throws her yo-yo into the air, returning everything back to normal. The Evillustrator then turns back into Nathaniel.
"Huh? Where am I?" The redhead said in a confused tone.
"Pound it!" The due fist-bumped, while Dragnarok took off.
"Noooo! The Miraculous was practically mine! And they will be. Once I have them all in my grasp, I shall rule the world!" Hawk Moth shouted in anger.
"It seems we're struggling an artist's block." Damselfly mused to herself as the window closes.
Next morning, Drake was continuing his homework listening to what Chloe had to say about the event last night.
"Then Dragnarok destroyed all the lights in my hotel room, completely making everything dark!" Chloe complained. Drake sighed before moving to a different area, having enough of the blonde's whining.
"Finally, some peace and quiet." Cynder said as she and Spyro peeks out of Drake's fanny pack.
"Tell me about it." Drake said.
"I'm also glad you were willing to rescue Chloe, despite the hostility between you two." Spyro said.
"While Chloe does make me mad, I would never leave anyone in danger, even someone like Chloe. Otherwise, I would be like..." Drake said before stopping, not wanting to compare himself to the Dark Master.
"Look. You'll willing to save someone that you don't even like shows that you are a true hero." Spyro said with Cynder nodding in agreement. Drake looks at the two with a smile.
"Thank you."
And that's the Evillustrator! Hoped you enjoyed it~
