Time for another original akuma, and this one will effect Dragnarok on a personal level. Here is Armor-Geddon.
But first, I'll like to answer a question kyrogue23 asked. Drake will meet his love interest, but not until the Season 2 akumas start rolling out.
Entry #23
Happy Birthday to me, I guess...
Mom is keeping to her promise to not celebrate my birthday as much anymore, as she set up a busy day for me. At least my Grandma is coming to visit, so it can't all that bad... Right?
I think I've might of jinxed it...
Opening Intro(Could Have Been Me by The Struts)(I don't own the song)
As morning reached the Firstbourne household, Drake was still asleep. At the edge of his bed, three ponytails rose before a pair of small eyes, which narrowed at the sight of the sleeping teen. The figure then lower for a bit before jumping into the air and-
"Wake Up, Drakey!"
-Landed on Drake's chest, waking the boy up with a start.
"What the?" Drake groaned before spotting his assailant. "Vesta..."
"Happy Birthday, big brother." Vesta said happily, getting Drake to smile. That's when Spyro and Cynder flew by, carrying something that was small and wrapped in wrapping paper.
"Happy Birthday, Drake." They said as they handed Drake they're gift. Opening it, Drake saw that it was a pendant with a light blue gem in the center.
"What...?" Drake muttered before a the gem lights up, creating a hologram-like image of Ignitus. This causes Drake and Vesta to nearly jump in shock.
"Greetings Drake, and Happy Birthday." The Chronicler said before looking at Vesta. "Ah, you must be Vesta."
"Who are you?" The young girl asked.
"I am Ignitus." The former Fire Guardian greeted. That is when Drake decided to address the elephant in the room.
"How are you here and what is with this pendant?" He asked.
"This pendant will allow us to communicate without having to go into your mindscape." Ignitus said. "Anyway, I best get going. Good luck, and happy birthday."
With that, Ignitus hologram dissipates. That is when the two humans and dragons heard footsteps, causing Spyro and Cynder to hide. The door opened, revealing Cole, who had a smile on his face.
"Glad to see that the birthday boy is up. Come downstairs, there is someone who can't wait to see you two." The man said to his children.
Once Drake and Vesta got downstairs, they saw who was waiting for them. It was their Grandma, Ashley Firstbourne. A sweet old lady who always was full of surprises.
"Grandma!" Vesta said excitedly as she ran up to the old woman and gave her a hug.
"It's good to see you again, Vesta" Ashley said before turning her attention to Drake. "And look at you! Where did the little boy I'd helped raised go?"
"Grandma..." Drake groaned. Though, he did had a small smile.
"Come on, Mom. Give the boy a break." Cole said. That is when Hestia walked into the room, carrying a tablet.
"Nice to see you again, Ashley." She said to her Mother-in-law before facing Drake. "Here is your schedule for today."
"Oh come on, it's his birthday! Surely you can let him get the day off." Ashley said.
"Sorry, but no exceptions. Plus, I already arranged the events with Gabriel, so it's too late anyway." Hestia said before looking at her son. "Go get dress. Your first photo-shoot will be in a hour."
With that, Hestia walked off as Drake when back to his room with a sigh.
After getting dress, Drake sat down on his bed in a gloomy manner. Worried, Spyro and Cynder flew up to him. But before they could say anything, they heard footsteps coming towards the room, causing the two dragons to hide in Drake's fanny pack. Once the door opens, Ashley comes into the room.
"Drake... I want to know if you were alright." Ashley said before sighing. "Truth be told, your mother was always like this, even when she was dating your father."
This gets a chuckle from Drake. That's when Ashley noticed the bulletin broad that her grandson made.
"What's this?" She asked.
"I've been muttering these words, mostly in my sleep, and I've been trying to figure out why." Drake said, seeing no harm in tell her. Ashley cupped her chin in wonder, as if she has an idea on what it mean,
"So you're a bit of a early bloomer..." She muttered quietly before spotting the time on Drake's alarm clock. "You'd best get going. Don't want your mother getting mad, right?"
Drake nodded at that before heading downstairs. Ashley stared at the bulletin broad of a sec before following her grandson.
"I need to talk to Fu about this..." She muttered silently.
At Boulangerie Patisserie, specifically Marinette's room, the bluenette was talking to Tikki about one thing: Dragnarok.
"I don't know Tikki... It's just that, I don't completely trust him." Marinette said.
"Look, he has been doing nothing but good, and any damage he causes were purely accidental." Tikki said.
"He is still a wildcard." Marinette countered. Before the argument could go any further, knocking was heard on the bedroom door. As Tikki flew out of sight, Marinette opened the door, revealing Alya.
"Girl, look at what I've got." The blogger said before taking out her phone. On it was a picture of Adrien at Cramp de Mars. "Adrien is doing a photo-shoot at Champ de Mars. He is currently waiting for Drake to show up. Meaning if we hurry, you'll get to see the show right from the beginning."
"What are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Marinette said excitedly as she grabbed Alya and ran out the door.
Arriving at Champ de Mars, Drake saw Adrien, Vincent, and Gorilla wait for him so they could start the photo shoot. Ashley and Vesta came along for moral support. The blonde model then walks up to Drake and hands him a small wrapped gift.
"Happy Birthday Drake." Adrien said, getting a thankful nod from Drake. That's when Drake noticed Marinette and Alya hiding behind a nearby tree, causing him to chuckle for a bit. That's when Vincent wanted the two to get into place, so that they can start the photo-shoot. Drake sighed before taking a pose.
At Pont Marie, Cole was in a sword duel, wearing silver armor while his opponent was wearing black armor. The duel was being filmed, as it was for a medieval theme movie and the scene was being shot on location.
"Surrender Vent, and I'll make your death swift and painless!" The black knight ordered.
"Never! I made a promise, by using this blade, I'll banish all evil from this land, staring with you, Thelox!" Cole, play as the knight Vent, said. The duel continued as the swords they were using clashed against each other again and again.
Suddenly, Thelox tripped and fell down, letting out pain-filled scream.
"Cut!" The director shouted as Cole ran up to the falling man.
"Oh my God! Are you alright?!" He asked in a frantic tone. The injured actor just groaned, as he had twisted his ankle.
"Alright, I say this is a good time for a lunch break." The director said before walking off, only to be stopped by Cole who placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Shouldn't we get him to a hospital?" He asked as he gestured toward the injured actor, who was being helped up by some of the staff.
"Just let him rest it off during lunch break and then will continue were we left off." The director said in a uncaring tone, much to Cole's shock.
"Sir, with all due respect, the injury won't be healed by then. Look, I think he needs to skip out-" Cole said before being interrupted.
"Now you listen to me! In case you have forgotten, we're on a time crunch and we can't afford any distractions. So he is gonna have to endure it and play the scene." The director said in a threatening tone before walking off.
Cole growled as he sent the director's retreating form a hateful glare before stomping off.
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. This time however, he was alone, as Damselfly was nowhere in sight.
"Angry at a superior who doesn't show any concern for any of his workers. Let's help this poor soul teach his boss about worker's right." 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.
"Go forth, my akuma, and bring him to our side." Hawk Moth said while twirling his cane, as he watched the Akuma fly out the window and into Paris to find it's victim.
As he march on, Cole took off his armor off, piece by piece. He only had the helmet remaining as he slumped down onto a nearby bench. That is when the akuma flew in and landed on the helmet.
"Armor-Geddon, I am Hawk Moth." The villain greeted as a purple butterfly shaped light mask appeared on Cole's face. "You show concern for your fellow employee, but your superior doesn't. I will help you teach him about worker's rights, if you do something for me."
"Tell me what I need to do." Cole said as darkness erupted from the helmet and it covered his whole body. Once it lifted, standing in Cole's place was Armor-Geddon, a giant being made entirely out of metallic armor. His helmet was now his face and head, and had two horns coming out of it, Although, the left one was broken. In the center of his chest plate was a butterfly that was shaped like the light mask that appears whenever Hawk Moth communicates with his akumatized villain.
"Now I have a score to settle." Armor-Geddon growled as everything made of metal started to levitate around the villain.
"Where the hell is Cole?!" The director shouted. "Lunch break is over and we need to get this shot done!"
"I'm afraid that Cole is unavailable." A voice said. Turning around, the director saw Armor-Geddon and gasped in horror. "But his understudy, Armor-Geddon is here."
"What are you?!" The director asked. The villain didn't say anything as he magnetically lifted a nearby car and threw it at his target. But the director just barely dodged it and made a run for it, with Armor-Geddon in hot pursuit.
Meanwhile, Drake's photo-shoot was over and he, along with Adrien, Hestia, Ashley, Vesta, and Vincent were being driven to the next shooting location by the Gorilla. Marinette and Alya were with them, as they were spotted, and Drake and Adrien managed to convince the adults to let them come along.
Just then, the limo came to a screeching stop, as it nearly hit the director, who was fleeing from Armor-Geddon. Specking of which, the villain stomps towards the limo, with street lights and road signs hovering around him.
"No where left to run." Armor-Geddon said.
"You don't have to this, Cole!" The director shout. Upon hearing that, the Firstbourne family was shocked.
"Dad..." Drake muttered, horrified that his father was akumatized.
"Cole..." Hestia said quietly before gaining an angry look.
"I told you, Cole Firstbourne is no long here. There is now only Armor-Geddon!" The villain shouted as he increased his magnetic pull. This causes the limo to slowly get drawn to him. Panicking, Drake and his friends and family quickly got out of the vehicle just as in was lifted off the ground. Metal trash cans and park benches that was flying towards their direction caused the group to scatter.
Quickly ducking behind a tree, Drake lets Spyro and Cynder out of the fanny pack.
"I can't believe Dad was akumatized... Hawk Moth is going to pay!" Drake growled, as his eyes started to glow white.
"Drake, you need to calm down." Spyro said.
"We'll return him to normal, we promise." Cynder said. Taking a deep breath, Drake's eyes returned to normal as he looks at his dragon friends.
"Right... Transform Me!" Once Drake turned into Dragnarok, he held out a peace sign. "Don't Dare the Dragon!"
Once she was a distance away, Marinette hid behind some bushes.
"Mr Firstboure was akumatized... Drake must be devastated." Marinette said.
"Well, we need to stop him!" Tikki said.
"Right. Tikki, Spots On!" Marinette shouted as she transformed into Ladybug.
Ducking behind a alleyway, Adrien looks around to see if anyone was nearby
"I can't even think of how Drake feels after seeing his Dad akumatized..." Adrien said.
"Well, let's stop him then." Plagg said.
"Okay. Plagg, Claws Out!" Adrien said as transformed into Cat Noir.
Flying through the air, Dragnarok spotted Armor-Geddon at the Place de la Concorde. The villain had his victim trapped by pinning him to a wall with metal objects.
"An eye for an eye..." Armor-Geddon said as he raised an sharp piece of metal. But before he can skewer the director, a yo-yo wraps around his arm. Following the string, the villain sees that the yo-yo's owner in Ladybug.
"Don't you think that's a little much, Mr Firstbourne?" The spotted hero said. Armor-Geddon simply grunted before pulling the yo-yo, causing Ladybug to come flying towards him before punching her, sending her flying. As the villain turns back to the directer, the light mask appears on his face.
"Forget about him and get me Ladybug's Miraculous!" Hawk Moth ordered, causing Armor-Geddon to march towards the dazed hero. As he was about to grab Ladybug's earrings, Dragnarok fires a Phantom Fright, stunning the villain as the draconic hero flies in and grabs her, taking her to safe ground.
"Are you alright?" He asked as Ladybug regained focus.
"I'm fine." She said. That is when Cat Noir appeared.
"Glad to see you guys are alright. So how are we going to with the tin man over there?" The feline hero asked as he points at Armor-Geddon, who is no longer under the effects of the Phantom Fright.
"Surround him. We'll use his size against him." Ladybug said. That's when the three split up, with Ladybug and Cat Noir attacked from the ground while Dragnarok attacked from the air. Armor-Geddon tried to stomp on the duo while flinging metallic items at Dragnarok, but the heroes were too fast. The constant bombardment finally caused Armor-Geddon to stumble and fall on his back.
Back at his lair, Hawk Moth grind his teeth, angry at the fact the battle wasn't going in Armor-Geddon's favor.
"Forget about Dragnarok and focus on Ladybug and Cat Noir!" He shouted that the villain. That's when he heard footsteps. Turning around, he saw that it was Damselfly, who was giving him a hellish glare, which caused Hawk Moth to become nervous.
"Ah, Damselfly... Look, I can explain-" The mastermind said, only to be interrupted.
"Silence! I have a few words for you once Armor-Geddon wins or loses." Damselfly said with a voice laced venom, causing Hawk Moth to immediately stop talking. Raising her scepter, Damselfly creates an Odonata that lands on her left hand, gaining a green glow, before taking off.
Getting back up with a groan, Armor-Geddon shakes his head before glaring at the heroes. That's when the Odonata flies in and lands on his helmet.
"Hello there, handsome~ I am Damselfly, and bestow upon you the power to increase your magnetic force." Damselfly said.
"Thank you, Damselfly." Armor-Geddon said as the metal orbiting around him started to become attached to his body, causing him to gain a monstrous appearance as well as increasing in size. The villain now had sharp pieces of metal sticking out of his back as well as gaining glowing green eyes. Armor-Geddon lets out a earth shaking roar. The three heroes just stared in shock.
"That's not good..." Dragnarok said. Armor-Geddon turns to face the Roue de Paris, and, using his magnetic powers, lifts it into the air. The villain then throw the Ferris wheel at the heroes. They ducked, but once the Ferris wheel hits the pavement, rumble and dust shot into the air.
Once it clears, Dragnarok saw that he was alright, while Ladybug and Cat Noir was trapped under some metal.
"What to do, what to do..." The draconic hero muttered as he watched the duo struggle to remove the rumble before turning towards the villain who was marching towards them. Seeing that he had no other choice, Dragnarok lets out a sad sigh.
"I'm sorry, Dad." He muttered as a single tear drips down his eye. Dragnarok then flies up the villain and grabs hold before using his Fear Fury, blasting Armor-Geddon on his back as well as destroying the metal on his body. Growling with a vermilion aura around him, Dragnarok saw that Ladybug and Cat Noir escaped thanks to the latter using his Cataclysm.
"Get... Akuma..." Dragnarok growls as the akuma flies out of Armor-Geddon's broken helmet.
"No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug 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. Armor-Geddon returned back into Cole, who was quivering.
"W-What h-happened?" He stammered as he looked around confused.
"Pound It!" Ladybug and Cat Noir said as they fist-bumped while Dragnarok takes off.
"Sooner or later, everything you hold dear will come crumbling down, Ladybug!" Hawk Moth shouted.
"Hawk Moth..." Damselfly said. Turning around, the last thing Hawk Moth saw was Damselfly's fist.
Entering his room, Drake took a deep breath. Hestia had canceled the rest of the photo-shoots to look after Cole.
"Man, what a day..." Drake mutter as he plopped down onto his bed. Remembering the gift Adrien gave him, Drake took it out of his pocket and unwrapped it, revealing it to be a Maneki-neko, with a small card that said "You're the cat's meow!".
"Thanks, Adrien." Drake said with a chuckle. Letting out a yawn, Drake decides to turn in and gets under the covers while Spyro and Cynder land on their pillow. With that, the three fell asleep.
Later that night, Ashley arrived to some sort of massage shop. Entering, she then spots her old friend, Master Fu.
"Ashley! It's been years. How have you be?" Fu asked as he poured her some tea.
"I've been fine. But sadly, I'm not here for pleasantries." Ashley said in a serious tone. "I'm sure you heard about Dragnarok?"
"Indeed. It seems the time of the Dragon Messiah is upon us..." Fu said in a slightly worried tone.
"Yes, and I think I know who he is." Ashley said, getting a shocked look from Fu.
And that's that. Stay tuned for more~
