First Rock'n'Roll, then Pop music, now Classical. Time to finish this musical trilogy with Scary Poppins! Like Robin Goodfellow, Scary Poppins was made by my good friend, Dragon of Mystery. I know I said that I wasn't taking requests, and I am. What make Scary Poppins different, is that I ASKED Dragon of Mystery for any ideas. You see, with Season 4 closing in, I need to make a new batch of original Akumas. After getting a writer's block (or is it drawer's block?) I asked them for any ideas, and they came up with Scary Poppins.
Before we start, however, I want to address something.
kyrogue23: While it won't be a vision, you'll all see the bad future, soon enough...
Anyway, let's begin!
Entry #58
Okay, I've had enough rhyming to last me a lifetime.
Anyway, the vision I had with me being older and having a daughter named Midna... Will it ever come true?
Season 2 Opening Intro(Set It Off by Skillet)(I don't own the song)
That the Firstbourne house, Drake was finishing his homework, with Spyro and Cynder sitting on his shoulders.
"And... Done!" The secret draconic hero said as he looked over his answers. That's when he heard a knock on his door, causing the two Kwami-like dragons to fly into the fanny pack. "Come in."
Once the door opened, Ashley entered the room.
"Hello Drake." She greeted. "I hope you are not busy."
"Just finished my homework." Drake said as Spyro and Cynder fly back after hearing that it was Ashley. "Is there something you need?"
"I have a friend who knows about your... "secret", and he wants to meet you personally." Ashley said, getting surprised looks from her grandson and the dragons.
"So wait... He knows about...?!" Drake said before looking down at his wristbands.
"Indeed. Don't worry, he can be trusted, as he is Guardian like me." Ashley assured, getting more surprised looks from Drake, Spyro, and Cynder.
"This friend of yours is also a protector of the Miraculouses?" Spyro asked.
"Correct. In fact, he was the one who gave Ladybug and Cat Noir their Mraculouses." Ashley said.
"So why does he want to meet Drake?" Cynder asked.
"He knows about the Dragon Messiah prophecy, and he wishes to help you." Ashley said.
After thinking it over, Drake nodded.
"Might as well. Let's go." He said as Spyro and Cynder once again flew into the fanny pack before Drake and Ashley took off.
A while later, the two arrived at Fu's massage shop.
"So... Your friend works at a massage parlor?" Drake asked as he looks at the building's sign.
"Both a cover up as well as a day job." Ashley said with a chuckle before the two entered the building.
Once inside, they saw Master Fu, who was waiting for them.
"You must be Drake. I am Wang Fu." The Guardian said as he shook Drake's hand.
"I am he." The young man said before unzipping his fanny pack, letting Spyro and Cynder out. "And these two are Spyro and Cynder."
"Incredible..." Fu said as he stared at the two Kwami shaped dragons in awe.
"They look just like us!" Wayzz said as he flew out. Seeing the surprised looks on Drake, Spyro, and Cynder's face, the Turtle Kwami introduced himself. "Hello! I'm Wayzz, Master Fu's Kwami. Nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too." Drake said as lightly patted Wayzz's head, getting a chuckle from the Kwami.
"Now then. Drake, may I see your wristbands?" Fu asked. "They seem to behave so much like a Miraculous, that it peeked my curiosity."
Seeing no harm in it, Drake held out his wrists. Having a look over, Fu saw something disturbing.
"Young man... Are you aware that the wristbands are fused into your skin?!" Fu shouted in shock, getting surprised looks from Ashley and Wayzz.
"Have been aware after I first became Dragnarok." Drake said as he rubs his wrists. "At least Hawk Moth can't get them."
"Anyway... We want to you to tell us how you met Spyro and Cynder." Ashley said.
"Okay. But first, I have someone I want to introduce you guys to." Drake said before grabbing his pendant, summoning Ignitus' hologram.
"Is there something you need, Drake?" Ignitus said before noticing the stunned Fu. "Oh! I didn't realize you had company."
After getting Ignitus and Fu introduced to each other, Drake began to tell the old Guardians what he knows. He started with Spyro and Cynder's origins (with help from the dragons), when he discovered the Kwamified dragons, when he first turned into Dragnarok, and the Elemental Trials Ignitus set for him.
"Amazing..." Fu said in awe, bewildered story and the power Drake holds. "And yet, you're not at full power?"
"There is still one more element I need to learn." Drake said. Nobody noticed Ignitus averting his eyes for a split second. "Plus, I'm sure there are other things I need to learn too."
"You truly are the Dragon Messiah." Fu said before letting out a sigh. "Malefor is at least out of the picture."
"Least there's that." Drake said before noticing the time. "I think we best getting home."
"Is something the matter?" Ashley asked.
"Just want to get some early shut-eye, as I promised to help set the stage up at school." Drake said.
"Oh right! The school is putting on a production of Mary Poppins to support the resources given to children in need." Ashley said in realization.
"And Dad is going to be one of the three judges." Drake said. "So it was nice meeting you, Fu. You too Wayzz.
"It's been a pleasure. And if you need any help, you know where I'm am." Fu said before he and Wayzz waved their leaving guests goodbye.
The next day, in the Francoise Dupont auditorium, the stage was set up and the auditions has begun. In front of the stage were the judges, who were Ms Bustier, Mr Damocles, and Cole Firstbourne, who volunteered during his free time. Standing next to Cole was Drake, who wasn't interested auditioning.
"Up next, Julie Travers." Cole said as he looks over the list of candidates.
Julie Travers was rising actress who had potential and talent to achieve stardom. She was a year older then Drake, had tanned skin, blue eyes, blonde hair, and was wearing a blue blouse, black shorts, and white sneakers.
"Hello everyone. I'm going to be singing and dancing to Step in Time." Julie said before starting her performance. As she performed, everyone who was watching just stared in awe, as she was very good.
Once it was over, Julie bowed as the people who saw the performance let out loud claps. As Julie left the stage, the judges talked to each other.
"Well, I say we have our Mary Poppins." Cole said with a smile.
"How can you be sure?" Mr Damocles asked with a unsure look on his face.
"Have you not seen her performance? That girl has talent." Cole argued.
"Let's see the other candidates before we make a final decision." Ms Bustier said, causing the two to settle down. Drake, meanwhile, snuck off to meet with Julie and tell her how great her performance was.
Walking behind the stage, Drake came across the sight of Dainn trying to "woo" Julie, which is just making the girl very unconformable.
"So how about you and me go out to celebrate your wonderful performance?" Dainn "flirted".
"N-No thanks..." Julie said in a nervous tone.
"Come on, it'll be worth your while." Dainn bargained.
"The girl said no, Dainn." Drake said, making his presence known by the two as he walks over places himself between them.
"You know, you stopping me from getting a date is getting irritating..." Dainn said in annoyance.
"Then I'm glad that I'm doing such a good job then." Drake said as he stared Dainn down. "Anyway, leave the girl alone."
"I'm not interested on a date." Julie said, causing Dainn to frown.
"I see..." He said before walking off.
"Man... What is that guy's malfunction?" Drake asked, getting a giggle from Julie. "Anyway, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Thanks for getting him off my back though." Julie said.
"Glad to be a help." Drake said. "Anyway, I wanted to tell you that you were amazing out there. I'd say you'll get the Mary Poppins role hand down."
"Thanks..." Julie said with a small blush.
"Anyway, I'd best get going. Hope you get the role." Drake said before taking off.
Later that day, the roles have been decided and were posted on the auditorium wall. Drake, Julie, and a bunch of other students were looking that the post.
"Yes! I got the lead role!" Julie cheered as she saw that she was assigned the role of the titular character.
"I knew you could do it." Drake said as he patted Julie's back. In the distance, Dainn saw this and let out a scowl.
"You'll regret rejecting me..." He muttered as he head straight to the principal's office.
Arriving at Mr Damocles' office, Dainn entered.
"This there something you need, Mr Mann?" The principal asked as he looked up from is paperwork.
"It has come to my attention that Julie Travers has been given the role of Mary Poppins for the upcoming play, right?" Dainn asked, despite already knowing the answer.
"That is correct." Mr Damocles said.
"And if I recall, Julie's family owns the resource center that the Mary Poppins play is supporting, correct?" Dainn "asked".
"That's right." Mr Damocles said.
"Don't you think that's a bit unfair? She got the lead role to a show that is supporting her family's resource center?" Dainn asked.
"Well, she did perform amazingly at the auditions" Mr Damocles said.
"That may be, but what will people think?" Dainn argued.
"I'm sure some people might think the same thing, but she got the role with her talent, not her connects." Mr Damocles countered. Dainn let out a sigh before slowly walking to the door.
"If you can't be fair. Then I guess I can't convince my father to keep funding the school." He said. This causes Mr Damocles to gain a panicked look.
"Wait!" The principal shouted. "The school needs those funds!"
Dainn then turned to face Mr Damocles, a evil smirk plastered on his face.
"I think we can come to a arrangement."
Later that day, once school let out, a few student stayed to help with the costumes. In the auditorium, in the backstage, Marinette was helping Julie put the Mary Poppins Costume on, which the bluenette designed herself. The costume was a dress that was light blue in color. It also came with a dark blue hat, and a dark blue umbrella.
"I must say, you did a excellent job designing this costume." Julie said.
"Thanks!" Marinette said before finishing the final measurement. "There. It's all ready."
Julie picks up the umbrella and does a little twirl. Before anyone could say anything, Mr Damocles walks in.
"Ms Travers..." He said, getting Julie's and Marinette's attention. "I have some bad news. I'm afraid that you are no longer playing as Mary Poppins."
Julie and Marinette looked at the principal in shock.
"What! Why?!" Julie shouted.
"There have been... complains from people who think you got the role simply due to the fact that it's supporting your family's resource center." Mr Damocles said.
"But I got my role with my talent, not my connections!" Julie shouted, getting more and more upset by the second.
"That may be, but they threatened to remove the school's fund." Mr Damocles said.
"So that it... You just want a fat paycheck..." Julie said, with tears threatening to come down her eyes. "My family's resource center is a memorial to my mother, and I wanted to get the lead role to honor her. But thank to you, I can't!"
And with that, Julie stomps out, leaving behind a concerned Marinette and a guilty Mr Damocles.
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. Stand off to the side was Damselfly.
"Failing to honor a deceased loved one, how tragic. Let's give her the role of a lifetime." 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.
"Fly away, my little Akuma, and evilize her." Hawk Moth said while twirling his cane, as he watched the Akuma fly out the window and into Paris to find it's victim.
In the girl's bathroom, Julie was trying, and failing, to wipe her tears away.
"I'm sorry mother..." She muttered in sadness. That's when the Akuma flies in and land on the umbrella.
"Hello Scary Poppins, I am Hawk Moth." The mastermind greeted as a light mask appeared on Julie's face. "Your role was taken from you, but I can help you get it back, if you do something for me."
"Let the curtains rise." Julie said as darkness erupts from the umbrella and covers her. Once it lifts, Julie was a different person.
The Mary Poppins costume she was wearing was now dark purple. The hat and umbrella were now black, with the umbrella having a parrot head on the ferrule. Finally, covering the top half of her face was a blood red mask.
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Scary Poppins!
"Let's get this show on the road!" Scary Poppins said as she exits the bathroom and raises her umbrella into the air, causing the parrot to come to life and start singing. The singing causing everyone who was in hearing range to start dancing before turning into chimney sweeps. The sweeps then walked to Scary Poppins and bowed.
"Come my servants. Let's set up a play that no one will never forget!" The villain said before firing energy-like beams from the parrot's mouth at various inanimate objects, turning them into weapon that the sweeps picked up and arms themselves with them. The army then marches out.
At the Firstbourne household, Drake and his friends were lazing about. Drake was drawing, Ombra was reading, and Brandish, Maven, and Ingrid were watching TV. That's when a special newscast appears the the television.
"Breaking news!" Nadja said. "A villain who calls herself Scary Poppins is rampaging through Paris and is turning people into... Chimney Sweeps?"
The five looked at each other before taking a stance.
"Cheww, Teeth Out!" Ingrid shouted before turning into Siorc.
"Berry, Paws Up!" Maven shouted before turning into Grizzly.
"Caww, Sky High!" Brandish shouted before turning into Swallow.
"Spinni, Spines Out!" Ombra shouted before turning into Echidna.
"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!"
Team Draconic then heads out.
In the school's auditorium, Marinette saw the newscast on her phone.
"That must be Julie. Losing her role caused her to be akumatized!" Marinette said in shock.
"Well, we need to stop her!" Tikki said.
"Right. Tikki, Spots On!" Marinette shouted, turning into Ladybug.
That the Agreste mansion, Adrien saw the newscast on his TV.
"Well Plagg, looks like we've got work to do." Adrien said.
"Yeah, yeah, I hear ya." Plagg said.
"Plagg, Claws Out!" Adrien shouted, turning into Cat Noir.
In the Streets of Paris, the army of Sweeps were marching on through. Looking above from a nearby rooftop was Scary Poppins.
"Soon, all of Paris will be my stage." She said. That's when Ladybug and Cat Noir appeared behind her. The duo tried to sneak up on the villain, only for the parrot head on her umbrella to spot them and squawk loud, alerting it's master to their presence. "Aw... Ladybug and Cat Noir. I was wonder when you two will show up."
"Hoped you didn't have to wait long." Cat Noir said.
"Cat Noir, I think the akuma is either in her umbrella or her hat." Ladybug said.
"If you want to find out, you got to catch me." Scary Poppins said before opening her umbrella, which causes her to float away. The duo stared in shock for a sec before giving chase.
After a few minutes, when in looked like Scary Poppins was about to get away, Dragnarok flies in and smacks the umbrella, causing the villain to fall to the ground.
"The cavalry has arrived." The draconic hero said as he and his teammates appeared next to the duo.
"Glad you guy could make it." Cat Noir said.
"So the gang's all here, huh?" Scary Poppins said before whistling, causing the Chimney Sweeps to approach and surround them. "Let's see how you perform."
"Guys, I'll deal with Scary Poppins, as I know where the Akuma is." Dragnarok said, seeing the dark aura around the villain's umbrella. "You guys just need to keep these Sweeps off my back."
"Got it." The other said before engaging the Sweeps.
"Care for a dance?" Dragnarok asked as he took a stance.
"Just be sure that you don't have two left feet." Scary Poppins said before swing her umbrella, only to have the draconic hero dodge. Dragnarok then fired a stray of water, only for the villain to block with her umbrella. Dragnarok the summons a gust of wind, which lifts Scary Poppins into the air with her umbrella. Dragnarok then flies up after her and performs a Comet Dash, sending Scary Poppins crashing into the floor.
As Scary Poppins gets back onto her feet, a Odonata flies in and lands on her umbrella.
"Hello Scary Poppins, I am Damselfly, and I bestow upon you the power to flip other perceptive." Damselfly said.
"Thank you, Damselfly." Scary Poppins said before facing the hero. "Now, let's flip the script!"
Scary Poppins then fires a green beam from her umbrella. When it hits, the heroes started to see the world upside down.
"What the-?!" Swallow shouted as he and the others started stumbling around.
"Your all mine now." Scary Poppins said as she and her Chimney Sweeps started to close in on the heroes. Dragnarok, who wasn't affected thanks to his psychic powers, sees the he has no other choice and performs the Water Fury, blasting the Sweeps away and causing Scary Poppins to drop her umbrella, as well as snapping the others out of their flipped views.
"Get... Akuma..." Dragnarok growled as water droplet float around. With a nod, Ladybug picks up the umbrella and snaps it in half, 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. Scary Poppins then turns back into Julie.
"What just happen?" She asked as she looks around confused.
"Pound It." Ladybug and Cat Noir fist-bump while Team Draconic had a five-way high-five.
"Know this Ladybug. When I get those Miraculouses, it'll be curtain for you!" Hawk Moth shouted in anger.
"Your role will in our play will so end." Damselfly said as the window closes.
Later that evening, the Mary Poppins play was about to begin.
"I'm glad that Julie got her role back." Marinette said as she sat with her friends. She then turns to Drake. "How did you do it?"
"I'd simply did some digging around." Drake said. After finding out about Dainn's blackmail, Drake promised Mr Damocles that, if Dainn did convince his father to stop funding the school, Drake's family will fund for them instead.
"Shh! The shows starting!" Ingrid whispered as the curtains lifted, revealing a smiling Julie in a Mary Poppins costume.
And finished.
Fun Fact: Originally, Chloe was the one who was going to be the cause of Julie's akumatization. But after seeing her being the cause of the last akumatization, I thought that I change things up a bit and make Dainn the source.
And for those of you who are wondering why Richard (Dainn's father) would fund the school, it to basically make himself look good into the public.
Anyway, hoped you all enjoyed, and I'll see you next time!
