Hello everyone, and I bet you weren't expecting a original akuma so early in the season. Today, Dragnarok and friends will be facing off against Chaos Caribou!
Entry #74
Lila... I'm gonna have to keep a eye on her. But believe me when I say this... Dainn is far worse.
Season 3 Opening Intro(Halo by Starset)(I don't own the song)
In his atelier, Gabriel was looking through Eldritch's spell book, reading the parts he could understand.
"Fire, Electricity, Ice, Earth, Water, Poison, Fear, Wind, Shadow, Blood, and Aether..." Gabriel muttered. "So these are the elements Dragnarok can control."
The civilian side of Hawk Moth was amazed by what he read. The power behind each of the elements, as well the others abilities, such as Dragon Time.
However, what interested Gabriel the most was the element of Aether, the 'true element' of the Purple Dragons. More specifically, it's two halves, Light Aether and Dark Aether.
Light Aether is connected to light, life, holy might, and cosmic energy and can be projected, moved, repelled, altered and even transferred. Light Aether can also be used to heal and purify people and objects from evil and corruption, as well as restore things that were destroyed.
Dark Aether, on the other hand, is the opposite. Connected to darkness and death, it can corrupt and taint a individual, staining them and leaving a permanent mark on them. Untamed Dark Aether can act like an atom smasher; it can dismantle a target at the atomic level, literally "unmaking" it. The magic can also leave behind destructive and withering effects.
Though, Eldritch has noted down that there are still many secrets regarding the element that he has yet to uncover.
"Fascinating..." Gabriel muttered as closed the book. "This is the power Dragnarok wields... And this Aether element... It's just like Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous!"
Unbeknownst to him, Hestia and Nathalie were eavesdropping on him, and they both have worried looks on their faces.
Meanwhile, at Place des Vosges, Drake and Adrien had just finished a photoshoot with Dainn.
"Perfect! That was truly perfect!" Vincent shouted with glee.
"Of coarse it is." Dainn said in a arrogant tone, running a hand through his hair. "Now then, I've got things to do."
As Dainn boarded his limo, Drake and Adrien let out annoyed sighs.
"That guy..." Drake muttered. "And to think we'll have to deal with him tomorrow!"
"Look on the bright side, after tomorrow, we wouldn't have to deal with him for a nice long while." Adrien said.
"We can only hope..."
Meanwhile, in his limo, Dainn was calling his father.
"Father, I finished my photoshoot." He said.
"Good." Richard said in a uninterested tone. "Now then, if there isn't anything more to to discuss..."
"Actually, I-" Dainn started, only to be interrupted.
"Nothing? Good." Richard said before hanging up.
"...Wanted to see if you were available..." Dainn said in a glum tone as he puts his phone away with away. He then notices the driver giving him a sympathetic look." Eyes on the road!" As the driver looks away, Dainn crosses his arms. "I don't need anyone's pity..."
The next morning, Marinette was in her room when she heard a knock on the door.
"Coming!" She shouted as she ran to the door. Opening it, she saw that it was Alya.
"Hey girl, check this out!" Alya said as she held her phone. "Adrien and Drake are modeling at Trocadero!"
"Really?!" Marinette asked in a excited tone as she grabs the phone. She then frowns when she notices a certain detail. "Dainn is modeling there as well."
"Coming on Marinette, don't let him ruin your day." Alya said as she takes her phone back.
"I know, it's just that guy gives me the creeps..." Marinette said with a shiver. "Just the way he looks at me and getting in my space..."
"Don't worry girl, I'm help out. Plus, Drake can scare that creep off." Alya said.
Thinking it over for a second, Marinette nods.
"Okay, let's go!"
Meanwhile, Drake, Adrien, and Dainn were at Trocadero, getting their photoshoot.
Right now, Dainn was getting his solo pictures.
"When will this photoshoot be over?" Drake groaned as he paced around. "We've been here for two hours!"
"Don't worry, we've only got to get my photos once Dainn is done with his solo shoots, then a few group photos." Adrien said in a positive tone.
"By the Ancestors, I hope you're right." Drake said with a sigh.
He then noticed something. Walking out to a nearby light post, Drake saw Marinette and Alya hiding behind it.
"What are you two doing here?" He asked, surprising them.
"Oh! Drake! We're here to... cheer you two on?" Marinette said in a nervous.
Drake just raised an eyebrow before looking at Alya.
"She's here to watch Adrien, isn't she?" He asked, getting a amused nod from Alya. "Might as well come out, all that crouching will be murder on your knees."
Pulling them out of the bushes, Drake takes the girl to Adrien.
"Marinette! Alya! What are you two doing here?" The blonde model asked in a surprised tone.
"They're here to gives us support, which we'll need when dealing with Dainn." Drake said, crossing his arms at that last part. He then notices Dainn walking towards them "Speaking of which..."
"Adrien, your up." Dainn said. As the blonde model goes up to pose, Dainn looks at the two girls with a arrogant and lustful smirk. "I didn't know we had company. Are you girls here to see me model?"
"She's here to see Adrien, I'm just a tag along." Alya said, patting Marinette's back.
"Y-Yeah!" Marinette said in a nervous tone.
"Come on, you girls aren't just here to see that dweeb." Dainn said.
"Look, Marinette is interested in Adrien, not you." Drake said, stepping between Dainn and the girls. "Plus, Alya has a boyfriend."
"And even if I didn't, I would chose Adrien over you any day." Alya added.
Dainn said nothing as a scowl formed on his face before stomping off.
That's when Adrien returns.
"Hey guys, my photoshoot is done." He said before noticing Dainn was gone. "Where's Dainn?"
"Don't know, he just stormed off." Drake said with a shrug.
A distance away, Dainn was grumbling to himself.
"Adrien..." Dainn muttered before kicking over a nearby trash can. "Taking all the woman for yourself..."
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.
"Envy... A powerful force, enough to be a deadly sin." 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.
"Go forth, my akuma, and evilize him." Hawk Moth said while twirling his cane, as he watched the Akuma fly out the window and into Paris to find it's victim.
Reaching Trocadero, the akuma finds Dainn and lands on his pendant.
"Dainn, I see we meet again. But from now on, you are Chaos Caribou." Hawk Moth said. "And I'm sure you remember what I want."
"Yes, those Miraculous. You have a deal." Dainn said as darkness erupts from the pendent.
Once it lifts, Dainn was now wearing a light brown skin-tight suit with white boots and gloves. A light brown mask wrapped around his eyes. Sprouting out of his head was a pair of antlers. On the center of his chest was the same question mark-like symbol of his pendent, dark brown in color.
Behold, Chaos Caribou!
"Time to take what's mine, and maybe get some revenge..." Chaos Caribou hissed as he grabs a light-post with a glowing green hand, causing it to corrode.
Back with Drake and his friends, they were waiting for Dainn.
"Where is Monsieur Mann?! We need to finish our photoshoot!" Vincent shouted in a inpatient tone.
"Right behind you." A voice spoke up. Turning around, Vincent saw that it was Chaos Caribou.
"Dainn?" Adrien asked in a shocked tone.
"It's Chaos Caribou now." The villain said before firing a green blast.
As everyone dodged, the sphere hit a nearby bench, corroding it.
"We need to get out of here!" Marinette shouted.
However, Chaos Caribou blocked their path.
"You lot aren't going anywhere." The villain said. "You're going to stay here and be good bait."
"And what's stopping us?" Alya retorted.
"This." Chaos Caribou said before his antlers began to glow green. Suddenly, everyone started to feel dizzy. "How's a nice case of vertigo?"
Drake, managing to snap out of it, telepathically picks up a nearby rock and chucks it at the back of the villain's head.
"Who threw that?!" Chaos Caribou shouted as turned around.
Seeing his chance, Drake made a run for it. When Chaos Caribou turned back around, Drake was gone.
"What the-? How did he-?!" The villain shouted before calming down. "No matter, he'll be back."
He didn't know that he was only half right.
Ducking behind some buildings, Drake let Spyro and Cynder out of the fanny pack.
"Looks like Dainn was akumatized again..." Drake said with a groan.
"And from what we know about him, it could be anything." Cynder said in a annoyed tone.
"You've known him the longest, so do you have a guess?" Spyro asked.
"Probably upset that Adrien is "hogging" all the chicks." Drake said, rolling his eyes while making quotation marks with his hands. "Anyway, we've need to stop him."
"But what about the others?" Spyro asked.
"No time! He has hostages!" Drake shouted before taking a stance. "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!"
He then flies off.
Back in Trocadero, Chaos Caribou was pacing around with a angry look on his face.
"Where are those heroes?!" He shouted. "They should've been here by now!"
"Will I suffice?" A voice said behind him. Turning around, the villain saw it was Dragnarok.
"So, the big hero has appeared before me, I'm honor." Chaos Caribou said. "Well then, prepare to meet your greatest challenge!"
"Greatest challenge? Listen bub, you're no Eldritch." Dragnarok said, unknowingly sending a shiver down people's spine when mentioning his old nemesis' name.
"Okay, second greatest challenge." The villain corrected, willing to admit that he was nowhere near Eldritch's level. "Anyway, let's do this!"
Chaos Caribou then threw corrosion blasts at Dragnarok, forcing the draconic hero to go on the defensive.
"Hey, watch where you're aiming those things!" Dragnarok shouted after seeing a few buildings and cars corrode away after being hit.
"Then surround yourself and get me the Miraculous!" Chaos Caribou demanded, firing more blasts.
"Yeah... Not happening." Dragnarok said before grabbing his pendant. "Armor Up!"
Summoning his Defense Armor, Dragnarok charged at Chaos Caribou and engaged the villain in fisticuffs.
As the two fought, the hostages snuck away.
Marinette hid in a nearby alleyway.
"Looks like Dainn is causing more trouble." She said.
"And we need to stop him from causing ever more!" Tikki exclaimed.
"Tikki, Spots On!" Marinette shouted, turning into Ladybug.
Meanwhile, Adrien ducked behind a bench.
"Dainn got himself akumatized again." He said with a sigh.
"I don't get that guy's problem." Plagg said.
"Plagg, Claws Out!" Adrien shouted, turning into Cat Noir.
Back to the fight, Chaos Caribou fired a corrosion shot at Dragnarok, only for the Defense Armor to render the attack useless.
That's when a familiar yo-yo wraps around the villain's right antler before pulling him down onto his back.
"Who in the-?!" Chaos Caribou shouted as he got back onto his feet, only to see Ladybug and Cat Noir. "You!"
"Us!" Cat Noir said with a smirk, getting an eyeroll from Ladybug and Dragnarok.
However, Chaos Caribou ignored him, as he glared at the spotted hero.
"Ladybug... I'd promised myself to crush you if we ever meet again." The villain said with a snarl.
"Still sore from your defeat as Zebro?" Ladybug asked.
She got no reply as Chaos Caribou simply fired a barrage of corrosive blasts at her.
Activating Dragon Time, Dragnarok quickly pulled the duo out of the way.
"Woah! That was a close one!" The draconic hero exclaimed before looking at Ladybug. "He's really after your head."
"Dragnarok... Why do you protect this weaklings?" Chaos Caribou asked. "You don't need them or that team of yours!"
"First off, never insult my team! And second, Ladybug and Cat Noir are Paris' heroes." Dragnarok said while crossing his arms. "Me? I'm just someone who wants to protect those close to him. Plus, they were here first."
"Thanks dude." Cat Noir said, fist bumping the draconic hero.
"Thanks indeed. Now then, Lucky Charm!" Ladybug said before throwing her yo-yo into the air, summoning... Duct tape. "Duct tape?"
"Pathetic..." Chaos Caribou said before firing more blasts.
Dodging them, Ladybug looks around for a bit before she gets an idea.
"Guys! Keep him distracted, I have a plan." She said, getting nods from her teammates.
"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir shouted, activating his power on the ground, causing it to crumble and throw Chaos Caribou off balance.
Dragnarok then delivers a powerful uppercut, sending him into the air. Ladybug then jumps into the air and wraps the villain up with the duct tape.
"And that's a wrap." She said with a smile as she and the wrapped up villain return to the ground.
Chaos Caribou simply growled at that when suddenly, a Odonata flies in and lands on the villain's pendant.
"Hello Chaos Caribou, I am Damselfly. Let's give your antlers some more power, shall we?" Damselfly introduced herself.
"Why, thank you." The villain said before his antlers gained a bright green glow, causing everyone in a 25 meter radius to feel dizzy. He then uses his corrosion touch to free himself from the duct tape.
With a smug grin, Chaos Caribou walks up to Ladybug before slapping her across the face.
"M'Lady!" Cat Noir shouted before charging at the villain, only to be slow and sluggish, thanks to the vertigo field.
Simply pushing the feline hero aside, Chaos Caribou then kicks the down Ladybug in the chest.
"Hawk Moth will get your Miraculous, but not right now." The villain said before kicking her again. "I think I'll make you suffer for a while."
Dragnarok, meanwhile, grabbed his pendant while resisting the vertigo and swaps his Defense Armor for his Dark Armor. He then fires a sphere of Aether at Chaos Caribou's antlers, blasting them clean off.
"What the-?!" He shouted as he touches his stumps. The villain then finds himself trapped in a giant ice cube, with only his head, neck, and pendant exposed.
"Tada! Behold my new move, the Fridge Trapper!" Dragnarok said before grabbing the villain's pendant. He then turns to Ladybug. "Are you alright?"
"I'm okay." She said as she got back up onto her feet.
"Then take this and do your thing." Dragnarok said as he crushes the pendant, releasing the akuma before breaking the ice cube, releasing Chaos Caribou, who falls onto his knees.
"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 her yo-yo into the air. "Miraculous Ladybug!"
Everything thing was restored and Chaos Caribou turns back into Dainn.
"Pound it!" Dragnarok, Ladybug, and Cat Noir have a three way fist bump.
As the heroes take off, they didn't noticed Dainn was glaring at Ladybug.
"I can still sense Dainn's anger. He's like Lila, his feelings about Ladybug will serve my purpose." Hawk Moth said with a intrigued look.
"Are you sure you want to involve Richard's son into your plan?" Damselfly asked in a concern tone.
"Don't worry, I have a way to rein him in." Hawk Moth said as the window closes.
Back in Trocadero, the photoshoot just finished.
"Excellent, truly excellent!" Vincent said in a happy tone.
"Finally!" Drake shouted as he stenches before facing Adrien. "My legs were about to fall asleep. How do you do it?"
"Years of practice." The blonde model said with a shrug.
Dainn said nothing as he simple walks to his limo. Getting in, a dark look forms on his face.
"Ladybug... You'll pay for this humiliation..." He muttered with a growl.
And that's that!
Fun fact: Dragnarok's Fridge Trapper is based off the Cold Snap weapon from Rift Apart.
Also, Crash Bandicoot is now 25 years old!
Anyway, I'll see you next time.
