Hello everyone. Today, Dragnarok ,along his new partner Echidna, will be going against Befana!
Entry #47
My old friends Ombra, Brandish, Maven, and Ingrid are in Paris and are here to stay! Not only that, but I was gifted with the Miraculouses of Life, and turned Ombra into the hero of Evolution, Echidna!
Anyway, I heard Marinette's birthday was coming up...
Season 2 Opening Intro(Set It Off by Skillet)(I don't own the song)
At the Firstbourne house, Drake was in his room, finishing wrapping up something.
"Almost... And done!" He said happily as he stared that the wrapped gift in pride. On the corner of the present was a tag that said "To: Marinette From: Drake".
"I'm sure Marinette will love it." Cynder said as she and Spyro sat on their pillow.
"I sure hope so." Drake said before grabbing his bag. "Best deliver this to the birthday girl."
Putting the present in his bag and putting the dragons in his fanny pack, Drake headed out.
Arriving at the Boulangerie Patisserie, Drake entered to see Marinette's parents working.
"Oh! Hello Drake." Tom greeted when he spotted the young man.
"Is Marinette here?" Drake asked. "I made her a present and I want to give it to her personally."
"You have just missed her. She left fifteen minutes ago to hang out with her Grandma." Sabine said.
"My mother popped in for a surprised visit." Tom clarified.
"I'll just give it to her later. Thanks for your time." Drake said before taking off.
Now at Ombra's house, Drake and his friends were comparing the gifts they got for Marinette.
"I got her book of Babylon artwork." Brandish said.
"I got her some recipes for baked goods from outside of Paris." Maven said.
"Got her a new swimsuit." Ingrid said.
"Made her a pair of bracelets." Ombra said before facing Drake. "What did you get her, Drake?"
"You see~" Drake said with a cheeky smirk.
"Oh, come on!" Ingrid groaned in disappointment. She then turns to Ombra. "Hey Ombra, where did you get that diadem?"
"I... found it. I thought it looked good on me and I decided to keep it." The strawberry blonde answered nervously.
"I say you made the right call, as it does fit you." Brandish commented, with Maven and Ingrid nodding in agreement. Drake let out a sigh of relief. He then saw the time on a nearby wall clock.
"We better head out, or else we'll miss the party." Drake said before the five took off.
Arriving that the Place des Vosges, the five waited with everyone else for the birthday girl. A while later, Alya lead a blindfolded Marinette to the party before removing the blindfold.
The bluenette was delighted, especially with Adrien smiling and waving at her. Everyone handed their gifts to Marinette, with Drake's gift being a book about fashion design advise written by his mother. Let's just say, Marinette loved it.
"Happy birthday, Marinette." Adrien said as he hand her his gift for her. Marinette just stared with her mouth open. Drake chuckled at this has Alya closes the bluenette's mouth.
"Open it, Marinette!" Alya said. But before Marinette could open it, a voice rings out.
"La Befana comes at night, on her shaky broom in flight. She gives candy to those who are dandy." The voice sang. Following it, everyone saw Befana, who got off her motorcycle.
"Grandma!?" Marinette shouted, getting a few surprised looks.
"You lied to your grandma, Marinetta." Befana said.
"No, I- I didn't know Alya was throwing a surprise party for me." Marinette countered.
"She's for real, ma'am." Alya said as she got in front of the bluenette.
"And all those candies you pretended to be eating?" The villain asked.
"I'm sorry, grandma. It's just that I didn't want to upset you." Marinette apologized.
"I'm not your grandma anymore. From now on, I am only Befana! And I'm going to punish you for all those lies!" Befana shouted before shooting at Marinette. The bluenette ducked, however, and the shot hit Mylene instead, turning her into coal.
"No!" Marinette cried.
"Hey! You can't do that to our friends!" Brandish shouted.
"Yeah!" Maven and Ingrid agreed. Befana just sends them a amused look.
"While I'll normally be upset that you for speaking against your elders, I can see you doing this to protect your friends, and that is a nice thing to do." The villain said before shooting at the three. But instead of turning them into coal, they were turned into angel-like fairies with white masked.
"No!" Ombra shouted while Drake growls in anger. Drake then grabs Ombra and drags her behind some trees when everyone was distracted by the chaos.
"Listen! We need to stop her if we want to turn our friends back to normal." Drake said as Spyro and Cynder fly out of the fanny pack.
"Right." Ombra agreed as Spinni flew out of her pocket. "Spinni, Spines Out!" Ombra then turns into Echidna.
"Transform Me!" Once Drake turned into Dragnarok, he held out a peace sign. "Don't Dare the Dragon!"
"It's rude to leave while Befana's still speaking to you." The villain said before she was about to shoot a fleeing Marinette. However, Cat Noir came in and messed up her aim.
"Hey, I never knew grandmas could be so nasty." The feline hero mocked as he perched himself on top of a speaker.
"You would look wonderful in white, my pretty kitty." Befana said before shooting at Cat Noir, who just barely dodged.
"Eh, not convinced. I'm much more into black- makes my eyes stand out, don't you think?" Cat Noir said as he dodges one blast after another.
"Take care of this pesky pussycat!" Befana ordered her fairy servants, who fly at the feline hero.
"Hey, I thought fairies were supposed to be nice!" Cat Noir said as he dodges their attacks before taking the fight to the treetops. Befana then turns her attention back to Marinette.
"You're not getting away unpunished, Marinetta!" The villain shouted before she began shooting at her granddaughter. "You don't deserve all these presents, you spoiled little brat! Now, for what you really deserve." That's when her gun ran out of ammo. "Don't worry. You'll get what's coming to you."
"And you'll get whats coming to you!" A voice said behind her. Turning around, Befana saw Dragnarok and Echidna, ready to fight. That's when a Odonata flies in and lands on the candy tin Befana had on her belt.
"Hello Befana, I am Damselfly. Let's add some kick to your gun, shall we?" Damselfly said.
"Thank you, dear." Befana said before reloading her gun. Once she was done, she fired at the two heroes, this time firing out a shotgun blast.
Acting quick, Dragnarok activated Dragon Time and got himself and Echidna out of the blast's way.
"Thanks." The spiny hero thanked.
"No problem." Dragnarok said. Meanwhile, Befana turns to the Brandish, Maven, and Ingrid fairies.
"You three! Handle these two while I deal with my granddaughter!" The villain ordered.
"Yes, Mistress." The three said before flying at the two.
"Great... Now we have to fight our friends now?" Echidna muttered.
"Sorry for this, guys." Dragnarok said as he and Echidna engaged in battle against their brainwashed friends. Echidna took on Ingrid while Dragnarok took on Brandish and Maven.
Echidna and Ingrid engaged in good old fisticuffs, trading punch for punch. Things were in Echidna's advantage, however, thanks to her Miraculous, as well as some training from Dragnarok.
Speaking of who...
The draconic hero was using his Wind element to blow fairy Brandish and fairy Maven back. Spinning into a Twister, Dragnarok sweeps up Brandish and Maven, along with Ingrid, spinning them around before launching them into a tree, having them hanging from the branches unconscious.
"Sorry guys..." Dragnarok muttered. That's when he noticed Cat Noir carrying Marinette to the rooftops. "Cat Noir has Marinette and is carrying her to safety. Let's check up with them."
"Got it." Echidna said as the two followed the feline hero.
So, they all reached the Eiffel Tower's viewing deck.
"Best stay up here for the time being." Echidna said.
"Don't want you to be turned to coal." Dragnarok added.
"Don't worry. I promise to get your real grandma back safe." Cat Noir said before bounding onto the railing and hops up. He then stops and looking back at the bluenette. "Oh, I almost forgot. Happy birthday, anyway."
"Happy Birthday." Dragnarok and Echidna chimed before the three heroes took off.
The three heroes so found Befana riding her motorcycle while turning some people into coal while turning others into fairies.
"La Befana comes at night, on her shaky broom in flight. She gives out candy to those who are dandy. And only gives coal to brats with no soul." She sang before Cat Noir knocks her of her bike.
"Cat Noir comes to, unexpectedly..." Cat Noir sang before stopping. "Uh, how do you make that rhyme?"
Dragnarok face-palms while Echidna lets out a giggle. That's when Ladybug shows up.
"Fighting evil with his lady!" She sang, finishing Cat Noir's song.
"Of course! Not bad, Bugaboo!" Cat Noir said before turning to Dragnarok and Echidna. "Aren't you guys going to sing?"
"No." They said with annoyed looks. Meanwhile, a light mask appears on Befana's face.
"Ladybug has joined the party at last! Bring me the Miraculous, Befana!" Hawk Moth telepathically ordered.
"You didn't say the magic word!" Befana scowled.
Back in his lair, Hawk Moth was visibly taken aback by this. He then clears his throat, hunching his shoulders
"Ahem. Please." He said in a annoyed tone. Hearing a giggle, he sends a glare at Damselfly, who gives him a "I didn't do it" look with a bit of mischief in her eyes.
"Much better, Hawk Moth!" Befana said before pointing at Cat Noir. "You little thief! Where have you hidden Marinetta?!"
"I forgetta." The feline hero said cheekily.
"Watch out, or you'll be getting a time out of your own." Ladybug warns.
"Take care of these little villains." Befana ordered, sending the fairies after the heroes, who dodged them.
While dodging a few, Dragnarok spots Befana heading to the Eiffel Tower.
"Uh, Guys?" He said with a bit of panic in his voice, pointing at the retreating villain. Following his finger, the others saw were Befana was heading.
"We can't let her get to the Eiffel Tower!" Cat Noir said in a panic.
"And why not?" Ladybug asked before realizing something. "Ooh!" She then ducks under a charging fairy.
"Because that's where we hid her granddaughter!" Echidna said before she, Dragnarok, and Cat Noir head after the villain.
"Wait no, she's-!" Ladybug started, only to cover her mouth before following her allies.
"Where are you, Marinetta? Befana has a special treat for you!" Befana said as she flies around the tower. That's when Cat Noir lands on the back of the bike.
"Can I hitch a ride? Your granddaughter isn't here. Let me show you the way." He before grabbing one of the bike's handles and steers them away from the tower.
"Pets are not allowed on board!" Befana said before spinning the bike around, throwing Cat Noir off, who was luckily caught by Dragnarok. "Marinetta, what a sweet Ladybug you are. You'll make a perfect fairy!"
Befana then starts firing shotgun blasts at the four heroes. Thanks to Dragnarok's Dragon Time, the four managed to not get hit.
"Thanks, but no thanks." Ladybug said.
"You can't turn down a gift, you rude little imp!" The villain said angrily before facing her minions. "You take care of the kitty and his scaly and spiny friends, my fairies, while I punish this polka-dot brat!"
As Ladybug and Befana fought one on one, the other three were facing against all of Befana's fairy minions. After exchanging some kicks and punches, Dragnarok had enough and performed the Ice Fury, freezing all the fairies solid.
"Woah..." Echidna said as she stared at Dragnarok, who has a cold mist around his body and was letting out some deep growls. That's when Ladybug appears.
"Cat Noir! Dragnarok! Echidna! I saw Befana dodging her own candies. Even she can't touch them!" The spotted hero said. That's when Cat Noir spotted Befana reloading her gun.
"The candy bag. The akuma must be in there." The feline hero said.
"Of course! Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted as she throws hero yo-yo into the air, summoning... a tuba.
"Are you kidding me?!" Dragnarok shouted as the cold mist disappears.
"How is a tuba going to help?" Echidna asked.
"You didn't tell me you played the tuba." Cat Noir said.
"I don't, but it looks like I'm gonna have to learn." Ladybug said.
That's when Befana shoots the ground they're stand on into coal, causing it to collapse and drop the heroes into the sewer. Getting back up, Dragnarok gets an idea.
"Quick! Give me that tuba!" He shouted. Once Ladybug hands him it, Dragnarok opens his mouth piece and blows into the tuba, using it to create a giant Siren Scream. The sound-base attack blasted Befana to the ground, causing her to drop her gun, which Dragnarok quickly grabs.
"Say hello to me little friend!" The draconic hero shouted as he aims the gun at Befana before firing, turning the villain into coal. "I hope Marinette will forgive me..."
"I'm sure she will." Ladybug said before taking the candy box and breaking it, 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. Befana then turns back into Gina.
"Pound it!" Ladybug and Cat Noir fist-bump while Dragnarok and Echidna did the same.
"Ladybug, Cat Noir, Dragnarok, Echidna... you've escaped punishment yet again! I won't sugarcoat the truth, and next time I will destroy you and have your Miraculous!" Hawk Moth shouted.
"I did like this villain... She got you to say please." Damselfly giggled. Hawk Moth shot her a glare as the window closes.
With things settling down, the party continued as planned.
"So, what was it like as fairies?" Drake asked as he and his friend chatted near the snack table.
"I don't remember much, just my head being filled with nice thoughts." Brandish said before taking a sip of punch.
"Ditto." Ingrid and Maven said.
"Whatever the case, it's go to see you back to normal." Drake said before realizing something. "Wait... There's been a akuma at Adrien's birthday, then mine, now Marinette's... Is there a theme here?"
"Maybe Hawk Moth hates birthdays." Ombra said with a shrug.
"Sounds about right." Drake said, getting laughs from his friends.
And that's Befana. Hoped you enjoyed and I hope you have a good 4th of July.
