Uh-oh, double trouble, as Sapotis is next! Plus, the rise of another hero that doesn't get a Miraculous of Life. Before I start, I want to address a few things.
Deadshot55: No, I don't have any plan to make stories for other Playstation titles. Do feel free to show me your ideas if you want though.
kyrogue23: Don't worry, Vesta and Kagami will form a bond when they meet.
Now then, let's begin!
Entry #54
After the last Akuma, I can never look at ice cream the same way again... Still going to eat it.
Anyway, I promised Marinette that I'll help babysit Alya's little sisters... This is going to be a pain in the ass...
Season 2 Opening Intro(Set It Off by Skillet)(I don't own the song)
At the Cesaire's apartment, Drake, Marinette, and Alya were babysitting Ella and Etta, Alya younger sisters who were twins.
Right now, Marinette was on the phone with Alya's mother.
"Yes, Mrs Césaire. The girls are ready for bed. Uh...technically speaking..." Marinette said with a chuckle as the twins were hanging on to Drake, much to the young man's dismay. "Yeah, we're good. Enjoy the movie!" And with that, she hung up.
"Come on, bedtime, you little monsters! That's enough mischief for one day!" Alya said as she picks Ella and Etta off of Drake.
"It's not us! It's the Sapotis!" The twin said with a laugh as Alya carried them to their room. Once they were gone, Drake let out a sigh.
"Man, those two are just too much..." He muttered as he wiped some sweat off his forehead. "Glad that Vesta isn't like that."
That's when Alya returns with a tray hold a pitcher of orange juice and three glasses and puts it on the Living room coffee table.
"You seriously have a technique down with your little sisters. But...uh, who are the Sapa... Sapo...?" Marinette said as she went to get plates and spoons from the kitchen, having a hard time pronouncing the last word.
"The Sapotis? They're little monsters from a créole fable... who are always pulling pranks and making all sorts of mischief." Alya answered as Marinette returns with three slices of cantaloupe. "Now that we're all alone I can finally tell you." Alya then pulls out her phone. "Apparently Ladybug has been around at least since the pharaohs. But no way can the Ladybug we know can be five thousand years old! So, I downloaded a great app that analyzed some recordings I had of her talking. Based on the frequencies of her voice, it turns out she's a girl our age!"
"The wonders of modern technology." Drake said, gnawing on his cantaloupe slice while Marinette gains a nervous look.
"That's when the bluenette spotted something.
"Uh...Alya? The orange juice?" She said, pointing to the pitcher, which was completely empty. Ella and Etta's giggling was heard, causing Alya to groan.
The blogger quickly takes the twins to their room before returning.
"What were we saying again?" She asked once she sat back down.
Looking a little nervous, Marinette goes to the TV and grabs some DVD cases.
"We were about to watch a movie!" The bluenette said as she held up three DVDs. One of the DVDs was a Ladybug anime, which Drake raises an eyebrow upon seeing it. Marinette then notices the DVD and switches it for this Kond Le Chien movie. However, it was too late.
"Oh, yeah! Ladybug! She's like a high school girl. So to figure out who she really is, all we need to do is to find a girl our age who's always late—" Alya said before being interrupted.
"Don't you think there's a reason why she keeps her identity a secret?" Marinette asked, with Drake nodding in agreement.
That's when the three heard Ella and Etta's giggling again. Looking at the tray, the three saw that Marinette and Alya's cantaloupe slices were eaten. Alya groans again. She picks ups the twins and carries them to their room, again.
"What were you saying about her secret identity?" Alya asked once she returns.
"Ladybug needs it to protect her family and friends. Otherwise the villains could use them to get to her." Marinette argued.
"She does have a point. Plus, there's no tell how her teammates would react." Drake added.
Once again, Ella and Etta's giggling was heard, as they were using the TV remote to select a scene for the Kond Le Chien movie. With a angry groan, Alya turns off the TV and marches towards the twins.
"It's not us! It's the—!" They said, only to be interrupted.
"That's it!" Alya growled as she picks up the twins and marches to their room, for a third time.
"How do they keep sneaking in here?" Drake pondered, slightly impressed with the Twins' stealth. That's when Alya returns.
"Well, if I knew who Ladybug really was, I'd keep it a secret. I would even help her! Like say, if you were Ladybug, I'd cover for you — when you needed to transform in school, go fight the "baddies", you know?" She said.
"Oh yeah? Well, if I was Ladybug I wouldn't even tell you, to protect you from the "baddies", you know?" Marinette argued.
"You serious? If I was Ladybug, I'd totally tell you! Because I tell my best friend everything." Alya argued back.
"You're right, Alya. You should always tell your best friend everything. So come on. Spill the beans. Are you actually Ladybug?" Marinette asked jokingly.
"Right. Like I'm telling you. Nuh-uh." Alya said before she, Marinette, and Drake let out a laugh. That's when the three heard laughing from the Twins' room. "That's it! I've totally had it with these kids!" The blogger then marches to her sisters' room. "Don't even try to blame this on the..." She then sees the Sapotis. "Sapotis?"
The pair ran out of the room, knocking Alya over, and started eating the food remnants on the coffee table.
"Maybe you were a little too strict with them." Marinette said as Drake stared at the Sapotis in shock.
The villains then started to multiply and cause chaos around the room.
"Normally when you're firm with kids they don't turn into monsters!" Alya argued before seeing a Sapoti drinking out of a fish tank. When she tried to grab it, it leaped out of the way. More Sapotis then came out of the fridge and started making a mess.
"They're multiplying after they eat!" Marinette shouted before a book hits her on the head.
"Look, I'll go out and get help. You two just try to keep these things from escaping." Drake said, getting nods from the girls.
Pushing his way through the ever growing mob of Sapotis, Drake made it to the front and made sure none of the Sapotis followed him. Looking around, Drake saw that the coast was clear and let Spyro and Cynder out.
"Looks like things gotten out of control very quickly." Spyro said.
"It's like the Grublins all over again." Cynder said.
"Except Grublins don't need to eat to multiply." Drake said before sighing. "Anyway, looks like I'm on my own."
"What do you mean? What about Echidna and Swallow?" Spyro asked.
"Ombra is sick while Brandish is out of town visiting relatives." Drake said with a grim look.
"Well, better hope for the best." Cynder said in a worried tone.
Might as well. 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 Dragnarok opened the front door, Sapotis started to pour out.
"Whoa!" The draconic hero shouted as he jumped out of the stampede's way. "So much for keeping them contained." Dragnarok then follows the Sapotis out the building.
Looking out into the streets of Paris, Dragnarok saw absolute chaos.
The Sapotis were hijacking cars and attacking civilians as well as just being a general nuisance.
"Yeah, this really gotten out of hand..." Dragnarok muttered before flying down to a batch of Sapotis, who were painting the side of a building. "Hey! That's vandalizing, and you need to-" Dragnarok didn't finish as a Sapoti bites down on his tail, causing the draconic hero to cry out in pain.
You see, unlike Cat Noir, whose tail is fake and is just part of the costume, Dragnarok's tail is real and is attached to his body.
In a mixture of pain and anger, Dragnarok removes the Sapoti and punts it across the street.
"Weeeee~" The monster cheered as it sailed through the air.
After nursing his tail for a bit, Dragnarok spots Ladybug and Cat Noir near a opened traffic light control panel, which no doubt was tampered with by the Sapotis.
"Guys!" Dragnarok shouted as he approached the two.
"Dragnarok. Cat Noir replied before noticing something. "Where's Echidna and Swallow?"
"They aren't going to helps us with this one, I'm afraid." Dragnarok said in a glum tone.
"Anyway, you're just in time." Ladybug said as she grabs the propeller hat of a Sapoti who got itself stuck in the control panel's wires and breaks it, causing the Sapoti to disappear.
"How'd you know to destroy the monster's hat?" Cat Noir asked.
"I...uh... Trial and error." Ladybug said nervously.
"But no akuma's been released!" Cat Noir said.
"No, 'cause that monster was a clone!" Ladybug stated as a Sapoti leaps by. "These Sapotis multiply every time they eat. To get to the akuma, we'll have to destroy the original one — the very first one Hawk Moth akumatized."
"So you mean we've gotta catch 'em all." Cat Noir said in a slightly annoyed tone.
When the feline hero said that last bit, a image of a yellow mouse with red cheeks and a lightning bolt shaped tail popped into Dragnarok's mind.
"Come on! I thought you liked a good challenge!" Ladtbug teased as the feline hero groaned.
The three heroes then got to work, destroying the Sapotis clones.
After having no success at finding the original hat, the trio found themselves at the Pont des Arts bridge. They then spotted some Sapotis attacking Andre and his ice cream stand, multiplying even further.
"Hey, don't eat that ice cream or things'll get catastrophic!" Cat Noir shouted at the monsters, with Dragnarok resisting the urge to smack the feline hero.
The Sapotis then started charging at the three, quickly surrounding them.
"We won't be able to destroy all their hats! There's too many of them!" Cat Noir shouted as the heroes were now back-to-back.
"Miraculous!" The Sapotis shouted.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted as she throws her yo-yo into the air, summoning... A teapot.
"A teapot?" Cat Noir asked asked as Dragnarok face-palms.
"It's strangely familiar." Ladybug muttered as she looks around to see where the teapot might be useful, only to come up with nothing. "It's weird. I can't find anything!"
"Hurry up! My kung-fu's not enough!" Cat Noir shouted as the Sapotis got closer and closer.
Acting quickly, Dragnarok performs the Wind Fury, blowing the Sapotis away.
"Nice thinking!" Cat Noir said with a smile.
"Thanks..." Dragnarok growled out as small wind currents flew around his body.
"Of course! I know someone who can help! Gotta go!" Ladybug suddenly said before turning to leave.
"Where are you going?!" Dragnarok shouted as the wind currents died down.
"Right now? Can't it wait?" Cat Noir asked.
"No, it can't. You guys gotta trust me on this one." Ladybug said. That's when the Sapotis reappeared.
"Miraculous!" They shouted.
"Go on, M'Lady!" Cat Noir said, twirling his staff.
"Just make it quick." Dragnarok said, flexing his claws in anticipation.
Ladybug leaps away as the two prepare to fight.
After a while, Dragnarok and Cat Noir were now on the streets of Paris, fighting the ever increasing hoard of Sapotis.
"What's taking so long, Ladybug?" Cat Noir said as push some Sapotis back.
"Took the word out of my mouth." Dragnarok said as he catches a Sapoti leaping at him. Tearing the hat, it turned out to be just a clone.
As a mob of Sapotis start to close in, Ladybug and a new fox-themed hero arrive and breaks the Sapotis' hats, causing them to disappear.
"This is so insane! I've got powers and I'm fighting super-villains!" The new hero said in a excited tone.
"Whoa! Who's this superhero friend of yours? No offense, but I thought I was the only one!" Cat Noir said while Dragnarok stared at the new hero with a mixture of curiosity and caution.
"Cat Noir, I like to meet...uh..." Ladybug said, trying to think of a name.
"Uh... Rena Rouge! Yeah, my name is Rena Rouge!" The new hero greeted.
"Well, sneaky fox, think you'll be as sneaky as a cat?" Cat Noir asked.
"I don't know. Should we take bets?" Rena Rouge asked cheekly as she rings the feline hero's neck bell.
"Your friend seems pretty good." Cat Noir said.
"Yeah, she's the real deal." Dragnarok said, sensing nothing wrong with her.
"I surround myself with only the best!" Ladybug said with a smile.
"Welcome to our team! If you need any cool superhero tips, you know where to come!" Cat Noir said to Rena Rouge before kissing her hand.
"Really? You're gonna give me Ladybug's phone number?" Rena Rouge asked, getting chuckles from the others.
"I have a feeling working with you is gonna be a lot of fun!" Cat Noir said.
"And I can't wait to introduce you to Echidna and Swallow." Dragnarok said.
That's when more Sapotis appeared and surrounded the heroes.
"We're surrounded!" Rena Rouge shouted.
"We're retreating!" Ladybug said before the four ran off and jumped to a nearby rooftop.
"There must be thousands of them!" Cat Noir said as the Sapotis started to scale the building.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted as she threw her yo-yo into the air, summoning... A unicycle.
"A unicycle?" Cat Noir asked while Dragnarok let out a annoyed sigh.
That's when the Sapotis climbed onto the rooftop.
"Miraculous!" They shouted as they started closing in.
"Whenever you're ready, M'Lady!" Cat Noir said before he and Rena Rouge leaped away while Dragnarok took to the air.
Ladybug then uses her yo-yo to collect a few things whiles avoiding the Sapotis.
"Rakes? Unicycle wheel? Traffic cone? Tape? Trash can! Do you always make it this complicated when you're saving Paris?" Rena Rouge asked when she saw what Ladybug has got.
"Tell me about it." Dragnarok said.
"Trust me, Rena Rouge." Ladybug said as Cat Noir uses his staff to make a beam leading to the next build. "Here we go!"
Once the heroes crossed, they began working on Ladybug's plan.
At Hotel de Ville, Ladybug was riding a rickshaw while using a traffic cone as a megaphone.
"Hear ye, hear ye! Sapoti-Land, the amusement park of the future, is about to open! Mischief of all types are permitted in Sapoti-land! All-you-can-eat desserts! Fountains of orange juice! Big-kid movies and video games!" The spotted hero shouted, quickly gaining the Sapotis' attention as they began to follow her.
Meanwhile, on a nearby rooftop, the other three were using the other stuff to build something.
Rena Rouge tapes the rake and the unicycle together, finishing their project.
"All right, Rena Rouge! Time to use your power!" Cat Noir said.
"I've never tried it. I hope it works." Rena Rouge said as she takes out her flute.
"Just think of the illusion you want to create. Stay focused!" Cat Noir said.
"And make it quick. I see Ladybug coming." Dragnarok as he looks off into the distance.
"Mirage!" Rena Rouge shouted as she blows into her flute, which make a ball of energy that creates the illusion of a amusement park. "Awesome!" The fox-themed hero then gasped when her Miraculous started to beep. "My necklace is flashing. Um, that means I'm gonna change back soon, right?"
"Yeah. But it's okay if I see who you are. I can keep a secret." Cat Noir said teasingly, with Dragnarok once again resisting the urge to smack him.
"Naughty kitty. You know very well that our identities must remain secret." Rena Rouge said in the same tone.
"Good job. You're a fast learner." Cat Noir said.
"If you need any superhero tips, you know where to come." Rena Rouge said as she and Cat Noir began to do high-five gestures.
Dragnarok shook his head at them before noticing Ladybug approaching.
"Follow me, and I'll take you to Sapoti-Land! Where there's no bedtime! Where everything goes!" Ladybug said through her makeshift megaphone.
"Sapoti-Land!" The Sapotis cheered as they followed the spotted hero through a alleyway. "Sapoti-Land!"
"Phase two, Cat Noir! Now!" Ladybug shouted as Cat Noir puts his staff into the unicycle, creating a axle. "Step right up! Step right up! The Sapotis get in for free!"
"All the Sapotis are in the alley! Phase three!" Cat Noir said.
"Is this really gonna work?" Rena Rouge asked.
"Oh, don't worry. Sometimes it's even more absurd than this!" Cat Noir said with a smile.
"Tell me about it." Dragnarok said.
Ladybug then causes the axle to spin, which knocks the Sapotis' hats off when they ran under it, having Cat Noir and Dragnarok catch them in the garbage bin they had.
"We've got all the hats, Ladybug!" Rena Rouge shouted.
"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir shouted as he disintegrates the hats, 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. The Sapotis then turn back into Ella and Etta.
"Pound it!" Ladybug and Cat Noir fist-bumped while Dragnarok and Rena Rouge fist-bumped.
"You and your friends have defeated me this time, Ladybug! But thanks to you, now I know there are other Miraculous in Paris! And most likely, a guardian!" Hawk Moth shouted before turning to Damselfly. "And why didn't you send out a Odonata?"
"I sort of lost track of the real one..." Damselfy said in a embarrassed tone as the window closes.
Ladybug and Rena Rouge go into a alleyway before the latter detransformed into Alya.
"That was unreal!" The blogger said to the Kwami of the Fox Miraculous, Trixx.
"You've really helped us a lot. Thank you, Alya." Ladybug said before holding out her hand.
"Uh... You know, if I held onto it, I could help you again." Alya said, wanting to be Rena Rouge again.
"You made a promise." The spotted hero said in a stern tone.
"Oh please, Ladybug! We'd make a great team! I could help Cat Noir , Dragnarok, and you every day!" Alya begged. That's when Ladybug's earrings began to beep.
"I'm about to transform back! Hurry!" The spotted hero said.
"Please?" Alya asked.
"I have to go! I'm trusting you!" Ladybug said before going through a door on a nearby building to detransform.
"You're absolutely right, Alya. I'm sure the three of you would make quite the team! You have all the makings of a true superhero. You're strong, brave; but most of all, you're trustworthy." Trizz said to cheer Alya up, only for the blogger to look at the Miraculous with remorse.
Inside the building, Ladybug transforms back into Marinette. She sighs in disappointment because Alya refused to return the Fox Miraculous. She gasps when she suddenly hears a sound outside. Tikki hides behind Marinette when someone opens the door. They look down to see Alya's hand place the box inside the door before it shuts again. Marinette chuckles in relief.
Meanwhile, Drake returns to his room and picks up his phone to call Ombra.
"Hey Ombra? You would not believe what just happened." He said with a chuckle.
And that's that!
Rena Rouge has arrived and helped the heroes save the day.
Now, you're all probably wondering why Echidna and Swallow didn't appear in this chapter. It's to show the Drake/Dragnarok can't always rely on them to have his back, as they have their own lives to deal with.
Also, I had to cut the scene were Marinette gets the Fox Miraculous and gives it to Alya to few issues.
Anyway, hoped you all enjoyed, and I'll see you next time!
