Hello everyone! The next Akuma that Dragnarok and friends will be facing is Glaciator! Before we start, I want to address something.
Nighthawk6595: Damselfly was too worried about Drake. Plus, Bedusatrice was aiming for Kagami, Drake just got in the way.
Anyway, let's begin!
Entry #53
I am the luckiest guy alive. Kagami and I are officially a couple and I am on top of the world. But I couldn't help but wonder... Should I tell her that I'm Dragnarok?
Season 2 Opening Intro(Set It Off by Skillet)(I don't own the song)
On the Parisian Streets, Dragnarok, along with Ladybug, Cat Noir, Echidna, and Swallow were chasing after a runaway bus.
"It's no good! The brakes are busted!" The driver shouted once the heroes got onto the bus' roof.
"Ready, guys?" Ladybug asked.
"Did you even have to ask?" Dragnarok replied as Echidna gives a nod while Swallow flashes a thumbs-up.
"I'm always ready, my lady. Who needs brakes when they've got us?" Cat Noir said before throw his staff to the spotted hero. After tying her yo-yo around it, Ladybug goes under the bus and attaches the yo-yo to bus. After the bus passes over her, Ladybug throws it back to Cat Noir, who extends it in between to lampposts.
Meanwhile, Dragnarok flies in front of the bus and, using his strength, pushes against it, slowing it down. Just as the bus was about to hit three civilians, the combination of the yo-yo and staff in the lampposts, as well as Dragnarok pushing the bus back, makes the vehicle come to a complete stop.
"So, uh, Ladybug? What would you say if you and I met up tonight for a little dinner? Rooftop style?" Cat Noir asked as he and the others escort the passengers off the bus.
"For dinner? As superheroes?" Ladybug asked while Dragnarok, Echidna, and Swallow stared at the two.
"Well, uh, yeah. That's right. We're only together when we're saving Paris. I mean, wouldn't you actually like to get to know one another?" Cat Noir said.
"I... That's so thoughtful of you, but I can't. I have to, uh, I already have plans with some friends." Ladybug said. That's when the bus driver came out.
"Thank you." He said as he shakes Cat Noir's hand, then Dragnarok's, then Swallow's, then Echidna's, before finally going to Ladybug. "Thank you, Ladybug."
"Well, if your plans end early, come and join me." Cat Noir offered as the bus driver leaves.
"We'll see." Ladybug replied.
"I'll be waiting, my lady." Cat Noir said as Ladybug slings away with her yo-yo.
"Best of luck to ya, man." Swallow said.
"I hope things work out." Echidna said.
"I'm sure you'll get her one day." Dragnarok said.
"Thanks guys." Cat Noir said with a smile.
And with that, the four remaining heroes headed home.
At the Firstbourne household, Drake was eating dinner with his family, and it was Drake's favorite, Welsh Mutton. Actually, Drake loved to eat any kind of mutton, but the Welsh kind was his favorite. As Drake was tearing the meat apart, he snuck a few pieces to Spyro and Cynder, who also, after tasting it, loved mutton.
"Slow down there. I know you love this stuff, but try to breath every once in a while." Cole said with a chuckle as Drake continued to scarf down the mutton, though at a slow pace this time.
That's when Ashley spoke up.
"So... I heard you now have a girlfriend Drake." She said in a cheeky tone, causing Drake to nearly choke on his mutton while Hestia, Cole, and Vesta look at Drake in surprise.
"Is that true Drake?" Hestia asked as Drake manage to swallow his mutton.
"Yeah..." The secret draconic hero said in a nervous tone.
"Drakey has a girlfriend! Drakey has a girlfriend!" Vesta chanted.
"Well that's great son!" Cole said with a smile. "What's her name?"
"Kagami Tsuragi." Drake said.
"Tomoe's daughter?" Hestia asked in a surprised tone.
"You know her mom?" Drake asked.
"Tomoe and I were old friends." Hestia said before getting a pondering look. "Perhaps I should catch up with her, as it has been a few years."
"Anyway, you should introduce us to Kagami." Cole suggested.
"Maybe some other time." Drake said before finishing his mutton. Once he was done, he got up from his seat. "Anyway, I'd best get going. I've promised my friends that get some ice cream with them."
"Andre's?" Ashley asked.
"How ya guess?" Drake asked.
"Your parents have some of it when they were your age." Ashley answered with a chuckle as Cole and Hestia took a trip down memory lane.
"Anyway... See ya!" Drake said before leaving.
Arriving at Trocadero, Drake saw that Marinette, Alya, Nino, Ivan, and Mylene were already there.
"Drake!" They shouted.
"Hey guys." Drake greeted before noticing someone was missing. "Where's Adrien?"
"Adrien's dad isn't letting him go out." Marinette answered in a sad tone.
"Figures..." Drake muttered while rolling his eyes. "Anyway, I heard Andre was at the Pont des Arts."
"Then let's go!" Mylene shouted before the group took off.
Once they arrived, they saw that Andre was getting ready.
"My name is Andre! Andre! Glacé! The sweetheart matchmaker!" He sang while ringing a bell. "With one scoop or two, I'll find up for you with magical ice-cream flavors! My name is Andre! Andre! Glacé! The sweetheart matchmaker! With one scoop or two, I'll find up for you with magical ice-cream flavors!"
"Hey, he's here!" Nino said.
"Let's go!" Alya said.
As they got in line, Andre was serving a couple that was in front of them.
"Pistachio, vanilla, and strawberry! For lovebirds from Italy." Andre sang as he hands the couple their ice cream.
"Merci, Andre!" The couple said before taking off. Andre then turns his attention to the group.
"You're welcome, my friends. Enjoy Andre's ice-cream. May love never end!" He greeted.
"Bonjour, Andre." Mylene greeted as she and Ivan came up to the man.
"Striking young Ivan and dear sweet Mylène! If you aren't still the cutest lovebirds I've seen!" Andre said before he began to scoop their ice cream. "Chocolate, praline, and white nougat for you! A special concoction to keep your love true!" He then hands them their ice cream. Alya and Nino were next in line. "Ah, these two I've never seen. This your first time here with me?"
"Yeah!" Alya and Nino said with a laugh.
"Coconut, banana, and a touch of passion fruit!" Andre said while scooping up their ice cream before handing it to them. Now it was Drake's turn "Ah! Monsieur Firstbourne! Has things been going well with Miss Tsuragi?"
"We're a couple now." Drake said with a smile.
"Ah, Excellent! I knew my ice cream would get you two together!" Andre said with excitement.
"Well, it did help." Drake said with a shrug.
"Where is Miss Tsuragi?" Andre asked.
"We were going to come together, but Kagami's plans changed at the last minute. She did tell me to still get myself some of your ice cream." Drake said with a small sigh.
"Oh, I understand." Andre said before he began to scoop Drake's ice cream. "Chocolate Chip and Vanilla with some Dragon Fruit, isn't that a hoot." He then handed Drake his ice cream. He then noticed Marinette sitting on a nearby bench. "And how about this young miss?" That got Marinete's attention. "The pretty one who sighs. I have a flavor just for her! It's sure to make her smile!"
"Uh... Me?" Marinette asked.
"What's your name, dear?" Andre asked as he brought the bluenette up to his stand.
"Marinette." The girl answered.
"Peach pink like his lips and mint like his eyes. Eat this, my dear, and your love will materialize!" Andre said as he scooped some ice cream before handing it to Marinette.
"Uh...um. No! I- There's been a mistake! I'm not in love with anyone. And I think I just lost my appetite." The bluenette said as she hand the ice cream back.
"Why of course you are, my little one. When there's love burning in one's heart, Andre knows it from the start. Enjoy your ice-cream, Marinette. I know he'll be here." Andre said as Marinette stared at her ice cream with a sad look in her eyes.
"Green eyes like mint... Who could that possibly be?" Ivan asked.
Drake had a good guess that it would either be Adrien or Cat Noir.
"Thank you, but you've got it all wrong. I don't have a-" Marinette said before noticing something. "Adrien?" Turns out it was just someone wearing the same clothes as him, causing her to sigh. That's when a friend of the person came, accidentally bumping into Marinette and causing her to drop her ice cream.
"Andre's ice-cream has always melted hearts. But the magic will only work if you eat it! I'll make you another one." Andre gasped before quickly making a replacement.
"Thanks, but it's really not necessary." Marinette said.
"Yes it is, my dear. See here? My ice-cream has brought everyone together. Every famous loving couple in Paris! Edith and Marcel, John and Serge, Olive and Tom! Your loved one is out there! Somewhere! All you need is to believe in the magic of Andre's ice-cream!" Andre said as he showed Marinette the new ice cream.
"You're very nice, Andre. But I don't have a loved one." The bluenette said.
"Who has green eyes?" Ivan once again asked before turning to Mylene. "You think we know him?"
"Lay off, Ivan. There's no one, okay?" Marinette said before turning to Andre. "And I don't think there's something magical about your ice-cream. It's just... ice-cream."
And with that, she took off. Drake, who just finished his ice cream, had watch the event unfold.
"But Andre's ice-cream always melts people's hearts. At least, it used to." Andre said as he slides down to his knees and cries.
Seeing this, Drake decided it was time to leave. Sneaking away from the group, Drake takes out is phone and calls Ombra.
"Ombra, it's Drake." He said. "Tell Brandish to suit up and meet me at the Pont des Arts bridge, I think I spotted a potential Akumatization."
Hanging up, Drake found a hiding spot and took cover before letting Spyro and Cynder out.
"Seems like Andre is going to be Akumatized." Spyro said.
"He sure puts a lot of faith in his ice cream." Cynder said.
"Well we need to stop him. Transform Me!" Once Spyro and Cynder were absorbed into his wristbands, Drake let's out a roar as he turns into Dragnarok. "Unleash the Dragon!"
When Echidna and Swallow arrived, they quickly spotted Dragnarok, who was gesturing them to come under the bridge with him.
"So who's the unlucky sucker?" Swallow asked once they were all under. Before Dragnarok could answer, screaming ringed out in the air. Following it, they saw Glaciator.
"Hello! How about some ice-cream? Will that do? Enjoy it, it's just for you!" The villain said before firing ice cream from his hands, turning anyone they hit into ice cream themselves.
"Is that Andre?" Echidna asked.
"Yep. That's our guy." Dragnarok said before the three followed the ice cream villain.
After a while of following the villain, as well as prevent anyone from being turned into ice cream, they saw Glaciator stopping in his tracks and taking aim at something. Following the villain's line of sight, they saw that he was aiming at Marinette, who was on a random balcony with Cat Noir.
"Look out!" Marinette shouted as Gladiator fired, only for Cat Noir to block the shot with his staff. The feline hero then grabs Marinette and jumps away to get her to safety.
"Marinette, party pooper, you're looking so sad and surly, but Glaciator will make it all better. Don't you worry!" Glaciator shouted.
Meanwhile, Dragnarok, Echidna, and Swallow followed Cat Noir, who hid behind a building.
"What on Earth is that? Another supervillain in love with you?" The feline hero asked.
"No! That's Andre the ice-cream maker." Marinette said.
"The Sweetheart's Ice-Cream guy? He isn't looking too sweet right now." Cat Noir said in a surprised tone.
"Tell me about it." Dragnarok said as he, Echidna, and Swallow joined the two. "He doesn't seem like the type of guy to be a villain."
That's when the five heard Glaciator coming close, so they headed to Marinette's house to deliver her to safety.
"I'm Glaciator, the mean ice-cream man. Escape my fury if you can! I melt your hearts, but I was wrong, now I'll freeze your bodies so long!" The villain sang as he continued to turn people into ice cream.
Once the five arrived to their destination, Cat Noir put's Marinette on her balcony.
"Go inside, Marinette. We're gonna lead him away from you." The feline hero said with the others nodding in agreement.
"Cat Noir! Thanks for cheering me up." Marinette said.
"It was the least I could do." Cat Noir said before taking off with Dragnarok, Echidna, and Swallow following right behind him.
"Hey, Snow Dude, you lookin' for us?" Cat Noir shouted as the four confronted the frosty villain.
"Bad kitty! Where have you hidden Marinette?" Gladciator demanded before firing ice cream at the heroes, only for Dragnarok to melt them with stream of fire. Seeing the flames, Gladciator took a step back in fear. The villain then kicks a car, which crashes into Cat Noir, sending him flying and screaming. Luckily, Ladybug showed up and used her yo-yo as a net to catch the feline hero.
"Hello, Kitty. Did the bad guys leave you cold?" The spotted hero said in a joking tone, only to be met with hostile glares.
"Well, look who decided to grace us with her presences." Dragnarok said with a snarl.
"How was your amazing evening with your "friends"?" Cat Noir said with hostility.
You see, when Cat Noir, Dragnarok, Echidna, and Swallow were chasing after Gladciator, the feline hero told the others why he was with Marinette, including Ladybug not showing up to the makeshift dinner he set up for him and her, without so much as a word.
Let's just say, Dragnarok, Echidna, and Swallow were not at all pleased.
Ladybug looked at the four with a confused look, but that's when Gladciator spoke up.
"I've never tasted superhero flavor before. I can't wait to serve myself a double scoop!" The villain said before firing more ice cream. Acting quickly, Dragnarok unleashed another stream of flames, melting the ice cream. That's when a light mask appeared on Gladciator's face. "I'm a man of my word, Hawk Moth." He then turns towards the heroes. "Come out now, or I'll bury Paris in an entire layer of ice cream!"
"The ice-cream seems to fire out of his hand, and before Andre was akumatized, he served his ice-cream using a-a whatcha-ma-call-it!" Ladybug theorized.
"The whatcha-ma-call-it's called an ice cream scooper." Cat Noir corrected before facing the villain. "That must be where he's hiding the akuma."
"Does she seriously not know what an ice cream scooper is called?" Swallow whispered to Echidna, who just shrugged.
That's when a Odonata flies in and lands on the ice cream scooper.
"Hello Gladciator, I am Damselfly, and I bestow upon you the power to shoot beams of pure ice." Damselfly said.
"Thank you, Lady Damselfly." Gladciator said before firing his new power. The heroes dodged as the beam hits the ground, freezing it completely solid. The villain then fires another beam, only for Dragnarok to counter with a stream for fire. The two elemental attacks pushed against each other for a while before the fire stream began to overpower the ice beam. The flames soon hit Gladciator, causing some of his ice cream body to melt.
Feeling confident, Dragnarok tried to create more flames, only to let out a small flare.
"Dammit! Out of Mana..." Dragnarok silently cursed to himself.
"It's been a bomb, but now it's time to turn you into popsicles!" Gladciator said before firing at the fleeing heroes. "Once and for all!" The villain was then about to fire at a couple, only to hesitate and not do it.
"That's weird. It looks like he's leaving the couples alone." Ladybug said, noticing the behavior.
"Too bad for us." Cat Noir said in a snarky tone.
"You don't understand. We know he doesn't attack couples so we could pretend—" Ladybug said, only to be interrupted.
"Pretend?" Cat Noir asked.
"To be in love!" Ladybug continued.
"Sorry, Ladybug, it's not cool to play with people's feelings." Cat Noir denied.
"Plus, where do we fit in your plan?" Dragnarok asked as he gestures to Echidna, Swallow, and himself.
Before Ladybug could answer, Cat Noir ran up to Gladciator and tries to slice the villain with his staff, only to be launched into a building wall. Gladciator was about to freeze him, but Ladybug blocks the attack.
"Are you mad at me because I didn't show up?" The spotted hero asked.
"What do you think?" Cat Noir asked.
I didn't mean to hurt you." Ladybug said.
"You sure have a funny way of showing it." Echidna said as the five take cover behind a car.
"And I also had a surprise for you, too!" Cat Noir said.
"I really am sorry." Ladybug apologized.
"No... I'm the one who's sorry. Maybe another time." Cat Noir said halfheartedly.
"Show yourselves, cowards!" Gladciator shouted.
"Look, can the two of you please put a pin in this until we beat this guy?" Dragnarok asked in a annoyed tone.
"I think we better try your idea." Cat Noir said.
"Perfect." Ladybug replied.
"I know you're here!" Gladciator shouted.
Ladybug and Cat Noir show themselves to Glaciator. The villain is about to fire at them, but Cat Noir holds out his hand to Ladybug, who then holds his arm and rests her head on his shoulder instead. This causes Gladciator to stop.
Meanwhile, Dragnarok, Echidna, and Swallow were sneaking behind the villain.
A light mask appeared on Gladciator's face, causing the villain to once again take aim.
Cat Noir gains a fearful look, but Ladybug kisses his cheek, shocking him.
"Hey!" The feline hero whispers quietly.
"It's all part of the plan." Ladybug whispered back.
"I can't, Hawk Moth! They look so... in love." Gladciator said. That's when Dragnarok flies above the villain and flashes the two "lovebirds" a thumbs-up.
"Now!" Ladybug shouted as Dragnarok grabs the villain's head and performs the Fire Fury, melting the villain. Gladciator's ice cream scooper was sent flying in the air, but Swallow luckily caught it.
"All your's, Ladybug!" Swallow shouted as he throws the scooper to the spotted hero, who catches and breaks it, releasing the Akuma.
"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. Gladciator turns back into Andre, who had some slight burns on his skin.
"Pound it!" Ladybug and Cat Noir fist-bumped while Dragnarok, Echidna, and Swallow had a three-way fist-bump.
"Sacré blue! How enchanting!" Andre shouted as he got up and hugged Ladybug and Cat Noir. "Saved from the cold by a couple of super lovebirds!"
"He said it." Cat Noir said with a shrug, getting laughs from Dragnarok, Echidna, and Swallow.
"Ladybug, you've melted all my plans! But someday, I will triumph, and it will taste of such sweet revenge!" Hawk Moth shouted in anger.
"I think I've got a ice cream headache..." Damselfly muttered as the window closes.
Returning home, Drake plopped down onto his bed.
"Man... I don't think I'll eat ice cream for a long while." Drake said.
"Tell us about it." Spyro and Cynder said before the three let out a laugh.
And that's that!
For those of you who are confused, the Andre that appeared in this this chapter is not the Mayor, just someone who has the same name.
Also, Drake, Spyro, and Cynder's love of mutton is a reference to the fact that the animal that you usually burn in the Classic series to regain health is sheep.
Anyway, hoped you all enjoyed, and I'll see you next time.
