Season 2.5 Opening( I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin)(I do not own the song)
In Fu's massage shop, Dragnarok looked at Chris, Crash, Aku Aku, Fu, and Ashley with a mixture of shock and worried.
"What... what happen when I was out?" He asked in a nervous tone.
"Eldritch... He'd pretty much took over the entire country of France." Ashley said. "He created giant crystal walls around the county's borders and a force field over it, so no one gets in or out."
"He'd turned the entire country into his personnel fortress and reduce the citizens into slaves." Fu added with a clenched fist. "The other countries, such as Japan, Russia, the UK, the USA, and others, tried to break through the wall and force field, but they couldn't make a dent. And Ladybug and her friends..." Fu let out a sigh. "She and the other Miraculous wielders were captured and are now Eldritch's prisoners."
Dragnarok, who remained silent, walked over to the front door and peeks out, only to meet a horrifying sight.
Dark skies, destroyed buildings, and fire everywhere. And stalking around were Grublins and Shadow Apes, searching for innocent prey.
Backing away from the door, Dragnarok fell onto his knees with a look of horror.
"By the Ancestors..." He muttered before turning to Fu and Ashley. "What about my friends and family? What about every else?!"
"Luckily, many citizens were evacuated to "safe spots" across France." Fu said. "This shop and Notre Dame are just two examples."
"Here's a list of the citizens take refuge here." Ashley said before handing the draconic hero a clipboard with a piece of paper on it.
Taking the list, Dragnarok skim through the list and let's out a sigh of relief when he spots Kagami's, his friends', and family's name on the list.
However, that relief didn't last long when he noticed one name missing.
"Where's Mom's name?" Dragnarok asked.
"She isn't here." Ashley said in a sad tone. "And we can only pray that she is at one of the other safe spots."
"Then I need to find her!" Dragnarok said before marching to the door, only to be stop by Chris.
"Are you sure that's wise?" Aku Aku asked. "If Eldritch catches wind of you, he'll send his forces after you."
"Then bring them on." Dragnarok said as he tried to leaves, only to get stopped by Chris again. "What is it Chris?"
Chris just stared at Dragnarok for a bit before pushing his belt buckle, causing Crash to be absorbed into the Miraculous, causing Chris to transform into Bandicoot.
"It's seems he doesn't want you to go alone." Aku Aku said.
"If you really insist on heading out, then go to Notre Dame first." Ashley said. "We've lost contact with them and we're afraid something might've happen. Check to see if everything's alright. Your mother might even be there."
With a nod, Dragnarok and Bandicoot headed out.
Meanwhile, deep beneath the Catacombs of Paris, Eldritch was looking through his giant crystal, watching some Grublins and Shadow Apes capture a group of citizens trying to find food.
"More cattle for the slaughter..." He muttered before looking at the gem on his staff. "Time to check on my "guests""
Peering into the gem, the Miraculous wielders were crucified on floating crosses made of crystal.
All the Miraculous wielders had their eyes closed, looks of defeat painted on their faces. Cat Noir opens his eyes for a second, only to see Eldritch's hellish orange eyes staring back.
"Our "warden" is here..." The feline hero said in a bitter tone, causing the others to look at their captor.
"What do you want, Eldritch?!" Ladybug demanded.
"Just wanted to let you know that all of France is under my thumb." Eldritch said. "Once my forces are ready, the rest of the world will follow."
"You won't get away with this!" Hawk Moth shouted.
"Silly Hawk Moth, I've already gotten away with it." Eldritch taunted. "And I've captured you and all the other Miraculous wielder. I've succeeded where you constantly failed at."
Hawk Moth just growled as Eldritch turns his attention to Cat Noir, staring at him from a bit.
"What do you want?!" The feline hero shouted. unnerved by the staring.
"Just reliving a few memories, as 5000 years ago, I used to wear that very ring." Eldritch said, shocking his captives.
"You wore Cat Noir's ring once?!" Damselfly shouted, not believing in what she was hearing.
"Indeed. I was known as Bastet's Shadow when I used that ring." Eldritch said before summoning an image of a figure. The figure looked just like Cat Noir, but with a few differences. He has black hair, tanned skins, and orange eyes.
"Bastet's Shadow... Ifirt?" Plagg said in Cat Noir's head.
"Ifirt?" Cat Noir asked, getting everyone attention.
"It seems Plagg remembers me, how touching." Eldritch said before noticing something. "Hmm?"
Looking at his giant crystal, he sees Dragnarok and Bandicoot heading to Notre Dame.
"It seems Dragnarok has recovered and is out with his furry, orange friend." Eldritch muttered to himself, loud enough for his prisoners to hear.
"Oh yeah! Dragnarok is back, and he's coming to kick your ass!" Swallow shouted, as he and the other were slowly regaining hope.
"Is that what you think?" Eldritch asked before raising his staff. "Then let's see if he and his friends can handle... The Golem!"
Back with Dragnarok and Bandicoot, they continued along their way.
"Come on, we're almost there!" The draconic hero said before a giant pillar of fire erupted in front of them. "What the hell?!"
When the pillar dispels, a giant monster made of earth and lava was in it's place.
The monster looks around for a bit before spotting the two heroes and letting out a loud roar.
"Is that-?" Dragnarok muttered in shock.
~-The Golem...-~ Spyro and Cynder finished in the same shocked tone.
The Golem let's out another roar before slamming it's fist down in a attempt to reduce the duo into a red paste.
Luckily, Dragnarok and Bandicoot just barely managed to dodge. The two quickly hid behind a building.
"Remember how to deal with this guy?" Dragnarok asked as the Golem tried to find the heroes.
-Destroyed the dark crystal in it's head! That's put it down for good!- Spyro shouted as the Golem finally found them and tried to grab them, only for Dragnarok to grab Bandicoot and fly them out of danger's way. He then landed on a nearby rooftop.
"Okay, that thing has a giant crystal in it's head. We need to break it in order to stop this thing." Dragnarok said, getting a nod from Bandicoot.
That's when the Golem gets back up and roars at the duo.
"Okay... Let's do this!" Dragnarok shouted as he and Bandicoot took a stance.
The Golem breathed fire at the duo, only for them to split up, running to the sides of the Golem, who roared in annoyance before focusing it's attention on Dragnarok, who launch a barrage of fireballs.
Bandicoot, meanwhile, jumped onto the Golem's right arms and begins to climb it. The Golem tries to get him off by slamming itself into the side of a building, but Bandicoot held on tight.
Dragnarok, seeing the monster distracted, fired an Earth Shot at the Golem's left hand, breaking pieces of it off, revealing small dark crystals beneath, and causing the Golem to roar in pain.
As the beast grasps it hand in pain, Bandicoot managed to reach the head and started to dig for the dark crystal. But the Golem, with surprisingly quick reflexes, grabbed the orange hero and tried to crush him in it's left hand.
Dragnarok, seeing his friend in danger, flies up and tries to pull Bandicoot out of the Golem's grasp, but the monster's grip was tight.
"Brace yourself." Dragnarok said to the orange hero before grabbing his pendant. "Armor Up!" With the Dark Armor on, Dragnarok fired a sphere of Aether, blasting the Golem's hand clean off.
As the Golem roared in pain, Bandicoot grabbed onto one of the beast's legs to stop himself from hitting the concrete.
After looking at it's stump for a second, the Golem glares at Dragnarok.
Suddenly, various ruins and destroyed buildings suddenly floated up to the stump and clumped together, forming a new hand for the Golem.
"Oh that ain't fair..." Dragnarok muttered as the Golem checks out it's new limb while Bandicoot jumps off it's leg to join the draconic hero.
The Golem then looks at the heroes and, they could've swore it was smirking at them.
Dragnarok and Bandicoot prepare for fight, only for the Golem to... Leave?
"Where's it going?" Dragnarok muttered to himself before his eyes widened, seeing where the Golem was going. "It's heading for Notre Dame! The civilians!"
With panicked looks on their faces, Dragnarok and Bandicoot chase after the Golem.
~Are you also feeling a strange case of Deja Vu?~ Cynder whispered.
-Indeed.- Spyro replied.
Reaching Notre Dame, the Golem roared, causing the citizens inside to panic. It raises it's new fist, ready to strike the French people down.
Luckily, Dragnarok and Bandicoot at the nick of time, with the former firing a bolt of electricity at the Golem's head, diverting it's attention.
"Over here, dirt for brains!" Dragnarok shouted.
With a roar of annoyance and contempt, the Golem charges at the duo.
As the Golem came closer, Dragnarok grabbed Bandicoot and flew into the air. When they were over the Golem, the draconic hero dropped his orange friend on the beast's head and began to dig for the dark crystal.
Before the Golem could grab the orange hero, Dragnarok fired a beam of Aether into it's chest, causing the Golem to roar in pain.
While Dragnarok was keeping the Golem busy, Bandicoot continue to dig into the Golem's head before finding the dark crystal.
Pulling it to the surface, Bandicoot signals to the draconic hero, who nods.
Dragnarok then flies in and grabs Bandicoot, taking him to a nearby rooftop. Once Bandicoot was dropped off, Dragnarok charged at the dark crystal sticking out of the Golem's head.
Hovering just in front of it, Dragnarok fired another beam of Aether, hitting the dark crystal dead center.
The Golem let out a huge roar of pain before...
BOOM!
It's entire head explodes. The body slumps down before falling onto it's back.
"Finally..." Dragnarok muttered as he watches the Golem's body disintegrate.
The duo then heard cheering. Following it, Dragnarok and Bandicoot saw the citizens hiding in Notre Dame cheering for them. The two heroes just waved at them.
Back with Eldritch, he looked through the giant crystal with interest.
"Impressive... He did better than expected." He muttered.
"Oh course he did." Echidna said from within the staff, causing Eldritch to peer in it.
"Like I said, he's coming to kick your ass." Swallow shouted.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, that was merely a test." Eldritch said with a slight glare. "Across France are my eight Generals, the strongest in my army. They'll definitely put Dragnarok and his orange friend to the test."
"I've seen Dragnarok's power, and no one can stop him." Damselfly said.
"Are you sure?" Eldritch asked. "From what I've seen, he'd only just scratched the surface of his powers."
"What do you mean?" Mayura asked.
"Ah-ah-ah. That would be telling." Eldritch taunted before looking at the giant crystal. "My Generals, look for the one known as Dragnarok, I want him brought to me alive. His orange companion, however, is expendable."
"Yes Eldritch." Eight voices from the crystal said.
"Soon... Everything will fall into place." Eldritch muttered before letting out a laugh.
And that's that! Dragnarok and Bandicoot fought against the Golem and Eldritch now has the strongest in his army hunting Dragnarok down. See you all next time when the duo faces off against the first of the eight Generals.
Also, I've been thinking of giving these Generals boss themes, should I do it?
