Simon Says, listen to me. Simon Says, It's time for Dragnarok to fight Simon Says. I want to address a few things first.
tl34lt12: That's just the voice I hear from Drake. If you hear a different voice, more power to you. Also, after hearing the voices side-by-side, I agree with you that Christina Ricci is the better voice. So as a update of a sort, Cynder is now voiced by her for this story.
kyrogue23: Yes, the dragons vs dinosaurs is a reference to classic Spyro's battles against Ripto and his Riptocs.
So now, let's begin.
Entry #26
Nino has a girlfriend now, and I couldn't be more happier for him. But it now has me wondering, is there someone out there for me? Best not think about that now. Anyway, I heard there was this game show...
Opening Intro(Could Have Been Me by The Struts)(I don't own the song)
"Welcome back to everyone's #1 live game show: The Challenge! Let's give it up for our awesome contestant, Nino!" Alec said as Nino enters the stage. "So Nino, you're a student and a DJ. That's pretty awesome! Check out the decks we got for you!"
Off to the side was Drake, who was invited to watch the event in person and give moral support with Spyro and Cynder peeking out of the fanny pack to watch.
"So, the challenge the viewers have chosen for you is... To get the mayor of Paris, Andre Bourgeois, to dance!" Alec continued. "Thank you for agreeing to play with us today, sir. What are Nino's chances tonight?"
"Zero. I despise dancing. The last time I set foot on a dance floor, Madonna was in kindergarten." The Mayor said from a screen. Drake shook his head at that before noticing Adrien, who was also here to give Nino support, was approached by one of the other contestants, Simon Grimault, who tries to shake Adrien's hand, but was stopped by the Gorilla. That's when Alec spoke up.
"Victory! Challenge conquered by Nino. You moved your head to the beat, Mayor Bourgeois! That counts as dancing!" The announcer said.
"What?! That's not true! My neck was... itching, that's all." The Mayor tried to deny.
"Relieving an itch to the beat counts as dancing, too! Nino, congratulations. You'll return in one week to meet your next challenge!" Alec said as Nino got off the stage. Drake snapped his fingers in anger for missing, earning him a chuckle from Spyro and Cynder. "And now, for our next contestant, welcome Simon Grimault!"
"Awesome, dude!" Adrien said once Nino approached his friends.
"Mr. Grimault, you are a hypnotist. You use cards to hypnotize people to get what you want from them!" Alec saud.
"Well, yes, I'm a hypnotist. But, uh, I don't use my skills to get anything." Simon said bashfully.
"So, your challenge today, Simon, is to use your talents to bring two very elusive celebrities to this very TV set! Give it up for the king and queen of fashion, Gabriel Agreste and Hestia Firstbourne!" Alec announced, shocking Drake, Spyro, Cynder, Adrien and Nino as the two fashion designers appeared on the screen, looking around with annoyed looks.
"What is this show? I was told this was an interview." Gabriel said in a dry tone.
"I hate being lied to..." Hestia said in a lethal voice that got Drake to shiver. He was getting flashbacks to the "scoldings" (aka yelling) his mom gave him whenever he was caught lying.
"Dudes, your parents!" Nino said in shock.
"Do your thing, Grimault, let's see if you can bring Mr Agreste and Mrs Firstbourne here with your hypnotic persuasion!" Alec said.
"I told you, I don't make people-" Simon said, only to be interrupted.
"Ha! A shy hypnotist! How funny is that, Gabriel? Hestia?" Alec asked the fashion designers, both sporting unamused looks.
"Hilarious. Your show is pathetic. And so is your contestant. Control me? Never." Gabriel said before cutting off his end.
"You have wasted enough of our time." Hestia said before cutting off her own end.
"That's my dad, all right." Adrien sighed.
"And that's my mom..." Drake also sighed, with Spyro and Cynder looking at him with concern.
"Looks like Mr. Agreste and Mrs Firstbourne has turned on your challenge. Game over!" Alec said.
"But... that's not fair! I didn't even get time to..." Simon said before being lead off stage.
"No doubt that guy is going to be akumatized." Drake muttered silently to Spyro and Cynder. Before he could sneak off to transform, Simon Says enters the studio.
"Simon says the show is not over!" The villain shouted.
"What on earth?!" Alec said in shock.
"Silence! Simon says you're lame! As lame as a duck!" Simon Says said as he throw a card with a duck on it at Alec, causing the man to act like a duck. The Gorilla marches towards the villain, going to try to stop him. "Simon says stop!" The villain throws a card with pause symbol on it, freeing the bodyguard in place. "Simon says you are a gorilla!" After being hit by the gorilla card, the Gorilla then starts acting like... well, a gorilla.
In the midst of the chaos, Drake managed to sneak away and hide is a supply closet before letting Spyro and Cynder out.
"That was quick." Cynder said.
"While the name and look is stupid, the powers this guy has is something to be reckon with." Drake said.
"And we need to stop him." Spyro said.
"Right... Transform Me!" Once Drake turned into Dragnarok, he held out a peace sign. "Don't Dare the Dragon!"
"Gabriel Agreste and Hestia Firstbourne turned down my challenge and they will pay for it! By midnight tonight, they will entertain us in this very TV studio. Gabriel, Hestia, I'm coming to get you! " Simon Says shout. Eavesdropping above him was Dragnarok and Cat Noir, the latter with a worried look while the former with an angry look.
Dragnarok growled, the idea of a villain attacking his family was enough to put him is a fit of rage. His eyes started to glow white.
-Drake, you need to calm down.- Spyro said.
~We'll make sure your mother is safe.~ Cynder said.
While Dragnarok did calm down, his eyes still had a slight glow in them.
"Ah... Dragnarok?" Cat Noir said, noticing the glow in the draconic hero's eyes. Dragnarok ignored him as he jumped down to face the villain. The feline hero followed him, giving Dragnarok a worried look before facing the villain.
"Cat Noir says: Zip it and gimme those cards!" Cat Noir shouted.
"My gorilla will take care of you. Simon says.. knock him out!" Simon Says said as he threw a card at the Gorilla, causing him to knock the two heroes out of the studio.
"I may not always land on my feet, but I always bounce back!" Cat Noir said while Dragnarok growled, as the white glow in his eye grew brighter. The Gorilla then charges at them. Cat Noir tries to hit him with his staff, but the bodyguard grabs it.
"Better watch out. My sensei taught me that..." Cat Noir said, only to be suddenly grabbed by the Gorilla. "Size doesn't matter!"
Dragnarok then flies at the Gorilla, only to be also grabbed by the bodyguard.
"Oh, come on!" Dragnarok complained as he struggled to get out of the brainwashed bodyguard's grasp.
"I quit karate." Cat Noir muttered before noticing a lady coming out of an elevator. "Oh, hey there, Ladybug!"
This manages to trick the Gorilla, as when he was distracted, Cat Noir kicked him, freeing himself and Dragnarok, before throwing the bodyguard into the elevator.
"Enough already. Cataclysm!" Cat Noir shouted as he used his power on the elevator, malfunctioning it and causing to fall with the Gorilla inside.
"Good thinking." Dragnarok said, with the white glow no longer present in his eyes.
"Thank you." Cat Noir said before he picks up his staff and spins to defend himself, only to see Ladybug and Nino.
"Nice seeing you too, Cat Noir." Ladybug said in a sarcastic manner.
"Oh, sorry. I thought you were Simon Says." Cat Noir apologized.
"Settle down, fraidy cat." Dragnarok snark, getting a glare from the feline hero.
"I saw him! He's got a whole army together!" Nino spoke up, getting the heroes attention.
"He's looking for Gabriel Agreste and Hestia Firstbourne. We better get to them faster then they can!" Cat Noir said before his Miraculous started beeping.
"Cat Noir, you're about to change back! We'll take one last look around for Nino's friends." Ladybug said.
"Uh... Forget it! They're probably hypnotized." The feline hero said in a nervous tone, with Dragnarok nodding in agreement.
"But they're my buddies!" Nino shouted.
"I don't know about Adrien, but I did saw Drake running out of the building." Dragnarok said, creating an excuse to hide his identity.
"Uh... you're right. Maybe he's hiding. I'll leave you to look for him. Let's meet up at Gabriel Agreste's place later on." Cat Noir said before leaving. A while later, Adrien appears.
"Nino!" The model shouted as he ran to the three.
"Adrien! Dude, you okay?" Nino asked.
"I'm fine." Adrien said before turning to Ladybug with a timid look. "...Hello?"
"Uh... Hello! You sure you're okay?" Ladybug asked in a equally timid tone.
"I'm fine, really. But we've got to get to my house now! My father's in danger! So is my friend's mother!" Adrien shouted.
"We then best get going." Dragnarok said.
"Let's go. Cat Noir will meet us there." Ladybug said, as they headed to Agreste mansion.
"Nathalie, where's my father? Wheres Mrs Firstbourne? They're in danger!" Adrien said in a frantic tone once they arrived at the mansion.
"He knows already." Nathalie said as Gabriel and Hestia walked up behind them.
"Good evening, Ladybug." Gabriel greeted.
"You too, Dragnarok." Hestia also greeted.
"Father, you and Hestia gotta get outta here. The hypnotist Simon Says is coming after you two!" Adrien said.
"What? And be dictated by a madman? Certainly not." Gabriel said.
"I will not be scared by a fool." Hestia said.
"But father, he's dangerous! Who knows what he'll do?" Adrien said, but Gabriel didn't budge.
"Head up to your room now. You've had enough excitement for today. Nathalie, make sure they stay there." The fashion model said, having his assistant take Adrien to his room, with Nino following behind. Gabriel then turns to Ladybug and Dragnarok. "I have to apologize for my son, Ladybug, Dragnarok. He's like his mother. Way too overly dramatic."
"But he's right, you know. Simon Says is a real threat. You're in a lot of danger!" Ladybug said.
"What could possibly happen with you here to protect me?" Gabriel asked. That's when Hestia walked up to the two heroes.
"Is my son okay?" She asked in a worried tone.
"I saw him leaving the studio, away from Simon Says army." Dragnarok said.
"Good... I don't think I could live if something happened to him or my daughter." Hestia said with a sigh of relief.
Dragnarok had a small smile behind his mask, touched that his usually stoic mother showing concern for him and Vesta.
A while later, Ladybug's yo-yo rings, which she answer with Dragnarok look over her shoulder.
"Cat Noir, where were you?" The spotted hero asked.
"I, I was... keeping Simon Says at bay!" Cat Noir stammered
"And? Cat Noir?" Dragnarok asked.
"I couldn't keep him away. He's coming. He's got company." Cat Noir said before hanging up. He then entered the room seconds later. "Close off all exits! They're coming from another direction! Do as I say! Engage the self-defense system, we need total lockdown!"
Gabriel activates the total defense system before giving the feline hero a questioning look.
"How do you know so much about the system?" He asked.
"Uh... In a house like this... it's a given!" Cat Noir said in a nervous tone.
"They won't get in. This house is built like a fortress." Gabriel said.
"They won't get to us." Hestia said. That's when the mansion shook a bit, causing the defense system to turn on it's emergency power.
"There are too many of them. Your defense system is failing!" Cat Noir shouted.
"Adrien and Nino! I better go get them!" Ladybug said.
"Here, Nathalie. Pick the controls in case you need to unlock an exit" Gabriel said as he handed her something before turning to face Ladybug. "She's coming with you."
"I'll reinforce the outer defenses. Go hide in the atrium. It's not safe in here." Dragnarok said as he took off. Once outside, he used his Ice powers to create walls of ice to prevent the hypothesized people from entering. When he reenters the mansion, he spotted a TV that was on, and on it was Simon Says.
"Welcome to another exciting hour of "The Challenge"! Good evening again from Simon Says. Viewers, I've kept my promise. Here's Gabriel and Hestia!" Simon Says said as Gabriel and Hestia came into view. At the sight of them, Dragnarok instantly took off, going so fast that he also broke the sound barrier.
After almost instantly arriving at the TVi studio, Dragnarok hid as Simon Says took out his card before facing Gabriel.
"Simon says... you are a butterfly!" The villain said as he threw a butterfly card at Gabriel before turning towards Hestia. "Simon says... you are a dragonfly!" He then throws a dragonfly card at her. The fashion designers then started flapping their arms.
"Flap flap, flutter flutter, flutter flutter, flap flap!" Gabriel said while flapping his arms.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz." Hestia said she flapped her own arms.
Dragnarok, along with Spyro and Cynder, tried their best to hold their laughter back.
"Tomorrow, Butterfly and Dragonfly, you will be no more." Simon Says said in a threatening tone. That's caused Dragnarok to glare at the villain before coming out of hiding.
"You mind repeating that?!" The draconic hero growled.
"Simon says... You're a lizard!" Simon Says said as he threw a lizard card at the hero, only for Dragnarok to reduce it to ashes with a small stream of fire. That's when Ladybug and Cat Noir entered the room. "Ladybug, Cat Noir, you can save him by giving me your Miraculouses. Do the right thing..."
"In your dreams. Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted as she throw her yo-yo into the air, summoning... a normal yo-yo.
"Are you kidding me?!" Dragnarok shouted in irradiation.
"A regular yo-yo? But you've got a magical one!" Cat Noir also shouted.
"I'll figure it out later." Ladybug said.
"Simon says... your yo-yo is useless!" Simon Says said as he throws a card at Ladybug's original yo-yo, breaking the core. Cat Noir then knocks the cards out of the villain's hands. "Simon says... your stick is..."
"Useless? I don't think so. I'm not gonna let you get a word in edgewise!" Cat Noir said as he and Dragnarok fought against Simon Says while Ladybug rips the cards up, trying to find the akuma.
"Simon says..." The villain started, only to be interrupted.
"Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na." Cat Noir taunted while covering his ears. This gets him a annoyed look from Dragnarok.
"It doesn't matter whether you can hear me or not, all that is important is what Simon says! Simon says remove your Miraculous and give it to me!" Simon Says said as he starts throwing cards at the heroes, only for them to dodge. The villain then notices the still hypothesized fashion designers. "Simon says... take off like an airplane!"
As Simon Says threw to airplane cards at them, Dragnarok, acting quickly, managed to prevent Hestia from being hit, but was unable to save Gabriel, who started acting like an airplane. Gabriel then ran out of the room airplane noise.
"He's headed for the roof. We got to stop him." Cat Noir said.
"You two go on ahead, I'll take Mrs Firstbourne somewhere safe." Dragnarok said as he grabbed his mother and took off. After a while, he managed to find a supply closet.
"Don't worry Mo-Mrs Firstbourne, you'll be safe here." Dragnarok said as he put Hestia, who was still flapping her arms, in closet and took off. Once he got back to the fight, he saw Ladybug knocking the deck of cards out of Simon Says' hands with the regular yo-yo. Cat Noir then steps on the yo-yo and uses his Cataclysm to disintegrate the cards. He throws the deck to Ladybug, who throws it on the ground. This causes akuma to fly out.
"Good going guys." Dragnarok said.
"Thanks, now... 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. Simon Says then turns back into Simon.
"Pound it!" Ladybug and Cat Noir fist-bumped as Dragnarok took off.
Once Drake got home, he saw his mother mother waiting for him.
"Mom, are you alright?" He asked.
"Other then suddenly finding yourself in supply closet, I'm fine." Hestia said.
"I'm just... glad you safe." Drake said as he hugged her. Hestia was a little surprised at first, hugged her son back with a smile. Peeking out of the fanny pack, Spyro and Cynder smiled at them.
And there goes Simon Says. Hoped you enjoyed.
