The time for Season 3 is here! New villains, both canon and original, new heroes, and so much more! Let's go!
Entry #73
It's been a while since I wrote an entry down, was too busy dealing with Eldritch. Hopefully, things will return to normal.
Or at least, as normal as being a hero gets.
Season 3 Opening Intro(Halo by Starset)(I don't own the song)
(Drake was at the top of the Eiffel Tower, looking down at the city with Spyro and Cynder on his shoulders.)
I can see you running, running
Every night from the same darkness
It's coming, coming
But you are not alone
If you just say the word
I'll be there by your side
You make me more
You make me superhuman
(Spyro and Cynder were then absorbed into Drake's wristbands, turning him into Dragnarok.)
And if you need me to
I will save you
(Dragnarok then jumps off the tower before taking flight.)
Send out the signal
And I'll fly low
If it means the death of me
I won't let go
And if I'm lost in the world's shadows
I'll use the light that comes to me
From your halo
Halo
Halo
(As he flies in the air, Dragnarok looks to his left to see Swallow flying next to him. He then looks to his right to see Echidna, Siorc, and Grizzly running along the rooftops.)
When you're backed against the wall
I could be the one who's always there to break your fall
You are not alone
You're the Sun, you're the day
The light that guides me through
Never run, run away
I will save you
(Giving them a thumbs up, Dragnarok then flies ahead.)
Send out the signal
And I'll fly low
If it means the death of me
I won't let go
And if I'm lost in the world's shadows
I'll use the light that comes to me
From your halo
(He then flies past Ladybug, Cat Noir, Rena Rouge, and Carapace, giving them a quick wave, which they returned.)
Send out the signal and I'll fly low
If it means the death of me
I won't let go
And if I'm lost in the world's shadows
I'll use the light that comes to me
From your halo
(Landing on a nearby building, Dragnarok removes something from his neck. He then looks at it in his hands, revealing it to be the Dragon Miraculous.)
(And if I'm lost in the world's shadows
I'll use the light that comes to me)
(Images of Kagami flash in Dragnarok mind.)
Your halo
Your halo
Your halo
I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go (I won't let go)
(Clenching the Miraculous for a second, Dragnarok puts it back on.)
And if I'm lost in the world's shadows
I'll use the light that comes to me
From your halo
Your halo
Your halo
(Dragnarok then looks up, seeing the billboard that says "Dragonic Miraculous".)
At Francoise Dupont, Drake was in Miss Bustier's class, writing something down on his notebook.
"What are you doing?" Ombra whispered as she peeked at the notebook.
The seating has be rearranged, so now Drake sits next to Ombra.
"Just writing down some ways to creatively use my elemental powers." Drake whispered.
"Ooooh! Can I see one?" Ombra asked.
Before Drake could answer, Miss Bustier went in front of the class.
"Good morning, students. I'm sure you've all heard by now, but Lila's home from her trip to Achu and she's back in school with us again." She said before gesturing to the door.
"Hi, everyone." Lila greeted as she walks into the classroom. She then notices the seating arrangement. "Oh, a seat in the front row! You all remembered my hearing issue! You're such sweethearts, all of you."
"You have a hearing problem, Lila?" Marinette asked.
"Yes, I suffer from tinnitus, a constant ringing in my left ear." Lila said. "I've had it ever since the sound of an airplane engine burst my eardrum on the runaway when I was saving Jagged Stone's lost kitten."
"Isn't Jagged Stone's pet a crocodile?" Marinette asked.
"Now it is, yes. But he had a kitten until he found out he was allergic to it." Lila said before facing Adrien. "The best part is, since you're such an excellent student, Adrien, you'll be able to help me catch up with all the schoolwork I missed while I was traveling with my parents. Would you do that for me?"
"Sure, Lila." The blonde model said.
Drake, meanwhile, rolled his eyes, able to see the lie. He knows that Jagged Stone never owned a cat. Though, the rocker being allergic to cats is indeed true.
And by the looks on Ombra, Brandish, Ingrid, and Maven's faces, they weren't buying it either.
Going back to his notebook, Drake didn't noticed Marinette stomping to the back row with an angry look on her face.
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. Standing off to the side was Damselfly.
"Ah, high school, the arena of teenage angst, where emotions are so intense. A perfect stadium for my dear akumas. Being separated from your friends, becoming isolated..." Hawk Moth 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. "Just what devastating anger is made of. Fly away and evilize this angry high school girl."
The Akuma then flies out, searching for it's victim.
Back at the classroom, Marinette was still growling at Lila. Unknown to everyone, the Akuma slips through the window.
"Open your books to page 23." Miss Bustier said with a clap of her hands.
Marinette takes a deep breath and calms down just before the Akuma reaches her, causing it to leave, unseen by everyone.
"Strange, I feel the fury dying down, but the wheels are in motion." Hawk Moth said in a slightly surprised tone. "It's only a matter of time, be patient now my akuma."
"And now we wait..." Damselfly muttered.
It was now lunchtime, and Drake and his crew were eating out in the courtyard, where they can talk in private.
"So that's Lila, huh?" Maven asked before taking a bite out of his sandwich.
"Yep." Drake said with a nod.
"She's a good liar." Ingrid said, chewing on an apple. "Too bad we've had experience with a better one."
"Nice to know something good came out of the time we were force to spent with Dainn." Brandish said. "He "helped" us detect lies better."
"Indeed." Ombra said, eating a salad. "Anyway, have you guys noticed that Marinette has been upset since Lila showed up?"
"She's a smart girl. She knows that Lila is a lair too." Drake said with a shrug.
"Should we tell someone?" Brandish asked.
"No." Drake said, surprising his friends. "Lila will accidently expose herself in time."
"If you say so..." Ombra muttered before they resumed eating.
A while later, in the locker rooms, Adrien walks up to Lila.
"Hey, Lila." He said.
"Adrien, we'll have to figure when you're gonna help me catch up on all the schoolwork I missed." Lila said. "I also heard you play piano, my uncle's the great pianist Chuch Boroughchuck. He wanted to teach me when I was little, but I had to stop playing because of arthritis. But when my wrist gets better, I'd love for you to give me some lessons."
"Lila, I'm perfectly happy being friends with you, and I'll gladly help you catch on your schoolwork, but please don't lie to me like you did last time with Ladybug." Adrien said, remembering what had happened before Lila was akumatized in Volpina for the first time.
"Ladybug's the liar." Lila said in a sharp tone.
"I'm not judging you, Lila, but instead of making friends you're going to turn everyone against you. You can tell me if there's something bothering you. I can help. But you need to be honest with me." Adrien said, trying to be reasonable.
"Are you trying to be some superhero lecturing me just like Ladybug did? Well thanks, but no thanks. Ugh." Lila said in a disgusted tone before storming off.
"I'm still here if you need help catching up with your schoolwork." Adrien said before walking away in a dejected manner.
Back with Drake, he was walking to his next class when he noticed the Akuma from earlier flying by.
"An Akuma?!" He shouted in shock. Taking a quick look around, Drake rushes to the boy's restroom. Entering a stall, he let's Spyro and Cynder out of his fanny pack. "Guys, there's a Akuma flying around!"
"It hasn't akumatized someone yet?" Spyro asked in surprised tone.
"Yep. It's just flying around." Drake said.
"Well, we better get it before it does akumatized someone!" Cynder declared.
"Right! 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!"
Dragnarok then flies out of the restroom to look for the Akuma.
Meanwhile, on the second floor, Lila was stomping about in anger.
"I can't stand those super goody-two-shoes." She mutters before noticing the Akuma. "Yes, here's my chance! Come here, akuma." Lila grabs the Akuma and puts it in her earring. "Hawk Moth, I am Lila. I know you want to destroy Ladybug and so do I."
"Yes, I remember you." Hawk Moth said.
"Give me supervillain powers and I'll give you her and Cat Noir's Miraculous." Lila said.
"With pleasure. I have some new powers for you, Chameleon." Hawk Moth said.
And with that, Lila was engulfed by a cloud of darkness.
Landing on the roof of the school, Dragnarok looks around for a bit before letting out an annoyed growl.
"Damn it! Not here either!" The draconic hero growled.
-I hate to say it, but I think the Akuma already got to someone.- Spyro said.
~If that's the case, then why is there no chaos or something?~ Cynder asked.
"Dragnarok?" A voice said behind the draconic hero.
Turning around, he saw that it was Ladybug.
"Ladybug? What are you doing here?" Dragnarok asked.
"I saw the Akuma heading to the school." The spotted hero said. She then notices something. "Wait a minute..."
Following her gaze, Dragnarok saw Adrien approaching Alya and Nino. However, there was something... off, about Adrien. He had this look in his eye, a dark look, one you would never seen on Adrien.
"Nino, I have something to tell you. You don't deserve my friendship or your girlfriend or your cap." "Adrien" said before taking Nino's cap and putting on his own head.
"Hey!" Alya shouted in shock and anger.
"You should see your faces, don't miss my performance at the Eiffel Tower. You're gonna love it." "Adrien" said before taking off.
"What? Not Adrien." Ladybug said before following the most likely imposer, with Dragnarok following right behind her.
Following "Adrien" around Paris, Dragnarok and Ladybug quickly saw that this was certainly not Adrien, as the imposer caused all sorts of trouble, such as jumping in front of a moving bus, forcing the driver to swerve out of the way and popping kids' balloons.
And now, the imposer was about to jump of the Eiffel Tower!
"Ah, help me. I'm losing my balance, I'm gonna fa–" The imposer said before falling over the edge. Ladybug then jumps in and recuses him. "My princess charming, you saved my life." The imposer then tires to kiss Ladybug, only for the hero to drop him.
"You are not Adrien!" Ladybug shouted.
"You're right, I'm Chameleon." The villain introduce herself. "You're getting better at this, Ladybug. Which is a good thing. It'll make this fight all the more interesting." Chameleon then notices Dragnarok. "Well, if it isn't the big hero himself."
"Indeed. And you must be the villain of the day." Dragnarok said. "Anyway, your name would suggest camouflage or shapeshifting. And since you're taking the form of that Adrien kid, it's certainly the latter."
"Not only are you strong, your smart as well." Chameleon said. "Out of all of the super goody-two-shoes, I respect you the most."
"And I should be flattered by that?" Dragnarok asked with a raised eyebrow before noticing the earring on the villain's ear, as he could see a dark aura around it.
Before Chameleon could say anything, Ladybug grabs Nino's cap off the villain's head.
"I know where your akuma is, Chameleon." She said before ripping the cap. "Time to de-evil–" There was no akuma. "uh, but the akuma!"
Chameleon then makes a run for it.
"Go after Chameleon, I'll get the others." Dragnarok said.
After getting a nod from the spotted hero, Dragnarok flies back to Francoise Dupont.
Returning to the school, Dragnarok found Ombra, Brandish, Ingrid, and Maven, who were looking for him.
"Guys." The draconic hero said, getting their attention.
"Drake! Where have you been?!" Ombra whispered in a anger tone, being quiet so no one can hear them.
"There's been a akuma, and it akumatized someone into Chameleon, who can shapeshift." Dragnarok explained, shocking his friends.
"Why didn't you tell us sooner?!" Ingrid shouted.
"I didn't want to cause a panic." Dragnarok said. "Anyway, suit up guys, we've have a akuma to catch!"
"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.
"Alright, let's go!" Dragnarok shouted.
But once they were out the door, they bumped into Cat Noir.
"Hey guys." The feline hero greeted.
"Cat Noir! Where have you been?" Dragnarok asked. "Ladybug is dealing with Chameleon, and I came to pick up my teammates."
"I know who Chameleon is, it's Lila!" Cat Noir said, surprising Team Draconic. "Whoever she kisses, she takes their form and knocks them out. She took the form of that Adrien kid, so I've been trying to wake him up."
"Is he alright?" Echidna asked.
"He fine. He just woke up, so that means Chameleon has changed forms." Cat Noir said.
"And we need to find her!" Dragnarok declared.
And with that, they took off.
Tracking Ladybug's location to Trocadero, the heroes found the spotted hero with a kid.
Dragnarok then noticed the kid had Chameleon's earring!
"Chameleon!" He shouted as the disguised villain jumped at Ladybug, trying to kiss her.
"Ladybug, look out!" Cat Noir shouted as he intercepts the kiss, getting kissed instead.
Chameleon then takes Cat Noir's form as the real feline hero falls unconscious. The villain was about to take his Miraculous, but Ladybug stopped her.
"It's down to the two of us, Ladybug." Chameleon said before activating Cat Noir's power. "Cataclysm!"
However, Dragnarok took the hit, which did nothing.
"And what are we? Chopped Liver?" The draconic hero snarked.
"Stay out of this! This is between me and Ladybug!" Chameleon shouted.
The villain then notices Ladybug heading to the Eiffel Tower, making her follow the spotted hero.
"Follow them!" Dragnarok shouted before Team Draconic took off.
Arriving at the base of the Eiffel Tower, Team Draconic looked around for Ladybug and Chameleon for a bit before some debris falling from the tower.
Falling next to a nearby fish stall was the spotted hero and villain, the former holding a T-shirt, which most likely came from a Lucky Charm.
When Chameleon tried to kiss Ladybug, the spotted hero grabbed a clam from the fish stall and shoved it in the villain's face, forcing her to turn into a clam.
"We should be friends, not anemones." Ladybug joked as she picks up the clam Chameleon.
"Really?" Dragnarok asked, unamused by the pun.
That's when Cat Noir rejoins them.
"Wow, you certainly got that supervillain to clam up, m'lady." The feline hair complimented. "But we're still not out of the woods yet. Where's the akumatized object?"
"I think I might have an idea." Ladybug said before turning to the waitress running the stall. "Waiter? If you wouldn't mind." Ladybug then hands the waitress Chameleon and the T-shirt.
"Yes, Ladybug, at your service." The waitress said before opening Chameleon, revealing her earring. "Mademoiselle."
"Thank you." Ladybug said as she takes Chameleon and the T-shirt before taking the earring. "We're about to find out what you really look like Chameleon."
"You'll see, it's an old acquaintance." Cat Noir said.
"Acquaintance might be stretching it..." Swallow muttered as Ladybug breaks the earring, releasing the Akuma.
"No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug shouted as she throws her yo-yo at the akuma, catching it. "Gotcha!" She then releases the purified butterfly. "Bye, bye, little butterfly." Ladybug then throws the T-shirt into the air. "Miraculous Ladybug!"
As everything gets fixed, Chameleon turns back into Lila.
"Lila?" Ladybug asked.
"Ladybug?" Lila asked back.
"At least now you can say I saved your life for real." The spotted hero said before holding out her hand. "Truce?"
Thanks, Ladybug." Lila said, shaking the spotted hero's hand. "I'd be honored to call you my friend."
"Yeah, I'm happy to hear that. Hey, some advice. You don't have to lie and pretend to be something you're not. People will like you just for being yourself." Ladybug advised.
"You have my word, Ladybug." Lila said, not noticing disbelieving looks from Team Draconic.
"Bug out!" Ladybig shouted as she leaves with Cat Noir and Team Draconic.
"Bye!" Lila said before seething.
"I sense a talent like no other in this young Lila. I'm sure that her feelings about Ladybug will serve my purposes well in the end. One way or another." Hawk Moth said before facing Damselfly. "And why didn't you send out a Odonata?"
"For the same reason when she was first akumatized, I despise lairs." Damselfly said with a growl.
"Right..." Hawk Moth said with a slight shiver as the window closes.
In Miss Bustier's class, the teacher was taking roll call.
"Lila?"
"Here."
Adrien?"
"Present."
"Drake?"
"Right here."
"Max?"
"Present."
"Marinette?" No answer. "Marinette?" Still no answer. "Marinette?"
"Marinette, Miss Bustier's called your name three times already." Adrien said, getting Marinette's attention.
"Oh." The bluenette said with a sheepish look.
"Looks like you have trouble hearing after all, Marinette. Why don't you come sit up here in the front row next to Lila." Miss Bustier said.
As Marinette walks to the front row, Lila spoke up.
"Miss Bustier, this is incredible. My tinnitus, I don't feel it anymore. It's gone. it's a miracle. It must be Ladybug's doing, I can sit in the back now." She said before heading to the back.
"Excuse me, Miss Bustier, can I go and sit next to Marinette? Nino and I can't stop chatting it up." Alya said, getting a nod from the teacher. Once she sat down, she looks that Marinette. "You didn't think I'd let my BFF sit all by herself, did you?"
"Excuse me Miss Bustier, can I move, too, please? I'd like to sit next to Nino again." Adrien said, causing Nino to get a ecstatic look. "Sorry Lila, he's my best friend."
And to make a long story short, everyone was back in their original spots.
"Well... That was something." Drake muttered, sit next to Nathaniel again.
And that's that!
I need to get use to writing more then two heroes again.
Also, sorry if there wasn't any fighting in this chapter. It meant to:
Have Drake return to his "normal" life as a hero.
To show Lila is back and is vile as ever.
And to show that Team Draconic won't fall for Lila's lies, thanks to their experience with Dainn.
Also, from this point on, expect not only original Akumas, but original Sentimonsters as well! Some of these original Sentimonsters will appear in canon episodes that doesn't have Sentimonsters.
Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed, and I'll see you next time!
