Hello everyone, and today, Dragnarok will be facing off against a monster of the past.
Before we start, I want to address something.
MurasakiKuroAkai: Believe me, I am painfully aware how rushed the end of Kwamibuster was. I would like to apologize, but with just how crazy the end was, and that it wasn't one of my favorite episodes. Plus, I just wanted to be done with this chapter. I plan to make up for that blunder in this chapter and the next. As for the merging, I have something planned. As for Hawk Moth knowing the Kwamis, well, Dragnarok wasn't aware of that fact.
Anyway, let's begin!
Entry #91
I really need to talk to Marinette about her stunt. I mean, I get it was a desperate gambit, but she could've at least thought about what would have happened if she lost?
Anyway, I need to talk to her and the Guardians.
Season 3 Opening Intro(Halo by Starset)(I don't own the song)
In Marinette's room, the bluenette was sitting across from Dragnarok, with Tikki floating by her head.
"Look, I know the stunt you pulled was some sort of desperate last gambit, but did you remember that Kwamibuster was designed to capture Kwamis." The draconic hero said.
"I know, but what else was I supposed to do?" Marinette asked.
Seeing the bluenette's point, Dragnarok lets out a sigh.
"I see what you mean..." The draconic hero said in a sad tone. "Maybe it's just me."
"What do you mean?" Tikki asked.
"Ever since Eldritch, I've been trying to take less risks and reduce sacrifice." Dragnarok said as he slumps down. "I saw people die. I saw things no one should see. And I just don't want that to happen again."
Marinette, with a understand look on her face, pats the draconic hero's shoulder.
"I understand that the Eldritch Event was hard on you. It was hard on all of us." The bluenette said. "And I get you want to prevent it from happening again, but you can't do that alone. You need our help. You need to trust us."
"Yeah, we've got your back!" Tikki added.
Dragnarok looked the two for a bit before smiling.
"Thank you."
Later that day, Nadja was doing a news report from the museum.
"Don't be bemused, it's just the news! The Louvre Museum will be unveiling its latest acquisition today: two mysterious statues carved from hardened lava, one was recently discovered on the highest mountaintops of Tibet, while the other was found buried in Snowdon Mountain in Wales, by the museum's curator, Mr. Kubdel." She said as Mr. Kubdel unveils the statues.
At Fu's massage shop, Marinette showed the Guardians Alya's latest Ladyblog video.
"It's like some kind of secret society emblem. As if a kind of Order of the Guardians has been watching over the superheroes since the beginning of time." Alya said on the video.
"It's my fault, Master. I'm sorry. I never should have entrusted her with the Miraculous." Marinette said.
"Alya is an excellent journalist. Sooner or later, she would have unveiled this secret kept under wraps for centuries." Fu said.
"But don't worry. None of it can lead Hawk Moth to us." Ashley said.
"These statues that have just arrived at the Louvre earlier this week." Alya said as she shows the statues, one small, one big.
Upon seeing the smaller statue, Fu began to freak out.
"Impossible! That's impossible! We are doomed!" He shouted.
"Because of a statue? But just a second ago you were saying—" Marinette asked, only to be interrupted.
"That's not a statue, Marinette. It's a sentimonster! A magical creature conjured from an emotion shaped by the power of the Peacock!" Fu shouted in fear.
"But, Master, Team Draconic, Cat Noir and I have already defeated sentimonsters created by Mayura." Marinette said.
"Yes, but… None of them came close to the power of this one. It was born from a negative emotion of a young man who had no idea what he was creating. Remember when I told you I made a terrible mistake? For you to understand, I must tell you the entire story." Fu said. He then began to tell his tale.
"I was younger than you when I was chosen to be a guardian. My parents told me that it was a great honor. That I couldn't turn it down. So they took me to the temple. I wasn't very happy there. I would have preferred to live with my parents and be with other children my age. I didn't want to be a guardian of anything. One of the test to become a guardian required me to watch over a Miracle Box."
Fu pauses before looking at Ashley and Falx, who nodded at him, having him continue.
"For a full twenty-four hours without any food. All I had for support was my apprentice's staff. Soon I was hungry. With each passing hour I became hungrier. And it was all because of the Miraculous. Because I had to watch over them. I couldn't take it any longer. So I took the Peacock Miraculous and used its power. All I wanted was a nice little companion I could sent to the kitchen to fetch me some rice balls."
Fu then let's out a sad sigh.
"But the Miraculous must never be used for the wrong reasons. The anger I was feeling mingled with my intense hunger. And I created a sentimonster that was very different from the one I had envisioned. A ravenous sentimonster out to devour everything, but specifically the Miraculous, since they were the bane of my life at that very moment. In my panic I lost my staff. The very object that would have enabled me to control it. I was just a young boy. I was so afraid I didn't even think of destroying it by simply using the Peacock Miraculous. I tried to erase all traces of the foolish thing that I had done. A monk told me to run away with the grimoire he managed to save, and the Miraculous Box. The very last Miraculous Box we had."
Fu then holds up the box in question.
"That's when I realized my sentimonster had devoured all the other Miraculous Boxes that were kept in the temple. And when the monks tried to stop it—the temple, the Order of the Guardians, everything… it was destroyed. I tried to run away from the sentimonster. But by doing so, I lost the grimoire and both the Butterfly and the Peacock Miraculous. I thought the sentimonster had disappeared forever. As soon as Hawk Moth finds out about it, he'll be able to use the power of the Peacock to bring it back to life."
"Master, if that happens, Cat Noir and I will be there." Marinette said.
"But you won't stand a chance! He's totally immune to the powers of the Miraculous! And please stop calling me Master. I have never been a guardian to begin with. I will not make another mistake!" Fu stated before standing up. "You and Cat Noir will give me your Miraculous back and I'll leave Paris with the Miracle Box, since that's what the monster is after. They will come after me, sparing the city and its inhabitants."
"But what if it catches up with you this time?" Falx asked in a concern tone.
"That will be my fate. It's all my fault, after all." Fu said.
"I won't let you leave on your own! When you chose me to become Ladybug, you placed your trust in me. I'm asking you to do the same today." Marinette said.
"Thank you, Marinette. Thank you for everything." Fu said.
Falx smiled at the two before noticing Ashley was busy staring at the bigger statue.
"Are you okay, dear?" He asked.
"I have a feeling that another shadow of the past will haunt Paris soon..." Ashley muttered.
At the Agreste Mansion, Adrien was talking to Gabriel, Hestia, and Nathalie.
"Nathalie sometimes gets dizzy spells. But it's nothing serious." Gabriel said to his son.
"It's thoughtful of you to be concerned, Adrien." Nathalie said.
"You don't have to worry about her." Gabriel said.
"If you say so, Father." Adrien said before heading to his room.
Hestia then takes out her phone, showing Alya's broadcast.
"And that same symbol is on this statue that arrived at the Louvre earlier this week." The blogger said.
"I felt an amok within. This isn't a statue, it's a dormant sentimonster. Very old and very powerful." Nathalie said.
"Which means you can destroy it, or bring it back to life." Hestia said with a look of interest.
"But since I wasn't the one who created it, I won't be able to control it." Nathalie said.
"I will help you. It comes from the region where we found our Miraculous. I have a strong feeling it could prove very useful to my quest. You will return to the Louvre tonight." Gabriel said.
"Very well." Nathalie said before she started coughing.
"You should get some rest before you go." Hestia said in a worried tone.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Nathalie said as her coughing fit stops.
As day turns into night, Drake was pacing around his room, muttering to himself.
"Drake, you're scaring us..." Cynder said as she and Spyro watched, growing more worried by the second.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I have a lot on my mind." Drake said before looking out into the night sky. "I think some nightly patrolling could take a load off on my mind."
"I suppose that's a good idea." Spyro said.
"Henshin!" Once Spyro and Cynder were absorbed into his wristbands, Drake let's out a roar as he turns into Dragnarok. "Unleash the Dragon!"
Opening his window, the draconic hero takes off.
Meanwhile, at Louvre, Mayura was in front of the statues.
"I can feel its yearning, Hawk Moth. It's hungry; ravenous for Miraculous." She said as the smaller statue breaks apart, revealing a blue, frog-like creature.
"Yum, yum! Miraculous!" The sentimonster shouted before moving towards Mayura.
"You take one more step and I'll take your amok away from you. Do you really want me to destroy you?" The Peacock wielder asked, causing the sentimonster to flinch in fear. "The sentimonster's all yours, Hawk Moth."
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.
"The frustration of a Miraculous just out of your grasp! I know that feeling of hunger only too well." 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 this sentimonster!" Hawk Moth said while twirling his cane, as he watched the Akuma fly out the window and into Paris to find it's victim.
The akuma then reaches the museum, where it was swallowed by the sentimonster.
"Feast, I am Hawk Moth." Hawk Moth greeted." You have a consuming hunger that only the Miraculous can satisfy. I'm giving you the power to track them down and devour every single one! But after you've swallowed up their owners, you must bring two Miraculous back to me. The one of the Ladybug and the Black Cat. Oh, but don't you worry, I'll give them back to you as soon as I'm done with them. I'll even give you the Peacock and mine as a bonus. Annd thus you shall have eaten every single Miraculous, and your hunger shall be satiated. Do we have an agreement?" The sentimonster nods. "Right, it's dinner time, Feast."
The sentimonster then turns into Feast.
"Yummy! Miraculous!"
Meanwhile, Dragnarok was on the roof of the Tom and Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie.
"Nothing so far..." The draconic hero muttered to himself. before hearing his phone ring. "Ombra? Why is she calling me at this hour?" He answers it. "Hello?"
"Care to explain why a Kwami took my Miraculous?" Ombra asked in an agitated tone.
"What?!"
"Yeah, this green Kwami took my Miraculous and Spinni. Not only that, but Brandish, Ingird, and Maven call me earlier and told me they're Miraculous was taken." Ombra continued.
"Look, I'm going to figure out what is going on. Just hang tight." Dragnarok said before hanging out.
That's when Marinette bursts out of the bakery's front doors.
"No! Master! Wait!" She shouted as she ran into the city.
"Well, it's safe to say Fu has something to do with this." Dragnarok muttered before flying off, hoping to see the Guardian from an aerial view.
On the Parisian streets, Fu, Ashley, and Falx were being chased by Feast, with the former two carrying their Miraculous boxes.
"Yummy, yummy! Miraculous!" Feast chanted.
"See, Wayzz? If Marinette had kept her Miraculous, the sentimonster would have swallowed her right up." Fu said.
"Or she would have transformed into Ladybug and fought it." Wayzz countered.
"Sometimes fighting is futile, Wayzz." Falx said.
Meanwhile, at Hawk Moth's lair.
"Feast is attracted by the Miraculous's scent. The three it's chasing can only be the guardians of the Miraculous." Hawk Moth said.
"Soon they'll have nothing left to guard." Mayura said.
"Feast is going to devour everything." Damselfly added.
"And we shall relish the taste of triumph, my dear Mayura and Damselfly." Hawk Moth said.
Following the destruction Feast left behind, Dragnarok found Ladybug and Cat Noir, in ridiculous costumes, throwing Andre's ice cream into Feast's mouth, keeping the akumatized sentimonster distracted.
"Well. Even without your Miraculous, you two continue to save the day." Dragnarok said as he lands next to the two. "I am impressed."
"Glad you could join us." Cat Noir said before noticing something. "Andre, we're out of ammo!"
Turns out, they ran out of ice cream.
"Andre, go somewhere safe! We're gonna handle this!" Ladybug ordered before noticing Feast approaching them. "…I hope…"
Feast then swallows Dragnarok, only to immediately spit him out.
"Yuck! Yuck! Not Miraculous!" The akumatized sentimonster shouted.
"Am I too spicy for ya?" Dragnarok asked as he gets back onto his feet.
"Hey! Leave them alone!" A voice shouted. Following it, everyone saw that it was Fu, Ashley, and Falx. "I'm the one you have been wanting the past one hundred and seventy-two years!
"The guardian of the Miraculous is this decrepit old man?" Hawk Moth questioned before facing Damselfly. "And he is with your in-laws."
Damselfly gained a shocked look.
"Looking for this?" Fu asked as he and Ashley held up their Miraculous boxes.
"Yum, yum! Miraculous!" Feast chanted.
"You won't have any trouble getting rid of him, Feast!" Hawk Moth said.
Wordlessly, Damselfly summons a Odonata, which flies out into the city.
When the Odonata arrives, Feast swallows it.
"Hello Feast, I am Damselfly. I bestow upon you the power to spit sticky goo, allowing you to make these Guardians an easy meal." Damselfly said.
"Yum, yum! Miraculous!" Feast shouted before spitting out a blob of dark blue goo from its mouth at the Guardian, who just barely avoid getting hit.
"Go and transform, quickly!" Fu shouted as he hands Ladybug and Cat Noir their Miraculous. "I am one of the last of the Miraculous guardians, and I intend to accomplish my mission!" Fu then faces Feast. "I am not scared of you anymore!" As Feast approaches the Guardians, Dragnarok uses his psychokinesis to lift them out of harm's way. "Thank you, Dragnarok."
That's when Ladybug and Cat Noir reappear.
"We can handle this. Take the Miraculous Box and go hide." Ladybug said.
"Enjoy, Feast. They can't get away from you now!" Hawk Moth shouted.
"We have to find its amok!" Ladybug shouted.
"Except this sentimonster isn't carrying any baggage!" Cat Noir said.
"Got any ideas?" Dragnarok asked.
"Cover me! Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted, throwing her yo-yo into the air, summoning... a metal detector. "A metal detector?" She then faces Fu. "When you created the sentimonster, you put the amok inside your staff, right?"
"Correct."
"Was your staff made out of metal, by any chance?" Ladybug asked.
"Partially, yes."
"There are only two places where your staff could be. Where the temple was, or…" Ladybug said, only to be interrupted.
"Hey! Hurry, my lady, this thing already swallowed my stick whole! Aah!" Cat Noir shouted as Dragnarok did his best to avoid having his feline partner eaten.
"Go hide, Master!" Ladybug said.
As Fu, Ashley, and Falx ran, Ladybug ties herself to Cat Noir with her yo-yo.
"Uh, you sure it's the right time, my lady?" Cat Noir asked.
"What are you doing?" Dragnarok asked.
"The amok is in a staff, which is in the sentimonster." Ladybug said. "We are going to let it eat us so we can find the staff and the amok."
"What?! Are you insane?!" Dragnarok shouted.
"Remember what we talked about? You need to trust me!" The spotted hero said.
With a slight hesitant look, the draconic hero nods.
"Okay, I'll trust you." He said.
"Thank you." Ladybug said. "While we're inside, keep Fu and the others safe."
Got it!" Dragnarok said with a thumbs-up.
"Ready to get the staff back?" Ladybug asked her feline partner.
"Oh no, not the tongue…" Cat Noir groaned, getting a giggle from Ladybug as Feast swallows them.
" Yes! Great work, Feast! Keep those two Miraculous nice and warm for me, and enjoy the other ones—you've certainly earned them." Hawk Moth said with glee.
"Mm? Yum yum! Miraculous!" Feast chanted.
"I really hope you know what you are doing, Ladybug..." Dragnarok muttered as he stares at the sentimonster.
Meanwhile, inside Feast...
"Wow… It's bigger on the inside." Cat Noir said before spotting his staff in some kind of bubble. "—Oh! My stick!" He then touches the bubble. "What is that? Is it digesting things or something?"
"Whatever he swallows gets sealed here forever." Ladybug said as she looks around.
"In that case, we'd better hurry up and figure out where the Master's staff is hiding." Cat Noir said.
Back outside, Dragnarok was throwing fireballs at Feast, pushing the sentimonster back a bit. Feast then spits some dark blue goo, sticking the draconic hero to the ground. It then went after the Guardians.
"Farewell, my dear friends. You're the best friends I could have ever hoped to have by my side all these years." Fu said.
"It's been an honor to be your friend, Fu." Ashley and Falx said.
Back inside Feast, Ladybug was using the metal detector to locate the staff. Soon enough, she finds it.
"I knew it! It had to be intact, otherwise the sentimonster would have disappeared!" The spotted hero shouted.
"Be careful what you wish for! Cataclysm!" Cat Noir shouted, using his power on the staff, destroying it.
Back on the Parisian streets, Feast bursts into bubbles, leaving Ladybug and Cat Noir on the street.
"No more evil-doing for you. Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug shouted as she catches the akuma and amok. "Gotcha! Bye-bye, little butterfly."
"No! That's impossible!" HawK Moth shouted.
Mayura then collapses before changing back into Nathalie, causing Hawk Moth and Damselfly to rush to her.
"I'm fine." She said.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug shouted as she throws the metal detector into the air, restore all the damage Feast caused.
"Pound it!" Ladybug, Cat Noir, Dragnarok, Fu, Ashley, and Falx fist-bumped.
"Thank you, Ladybug. Because of you, I won't have to run anymore." Fu said.
"I only put your teaching to practice, Master." Ladybug said before the Miraculous started to beep.
"I know two people who'd better run before they transform back." Cat Noir said.
"You guys best get going." Dragnarok said before taking Ashley's Miraculous box. "I better give the others their Miraculous back."
"Goodbye, Master." Ladybug said.
And with that, the heroes take off.
In the morning, as Drake was getting himself dressed, a news broadcast play on his phone.
"Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Extraordinary and inexplicable!" Nadja said. "That pretty much sums up the surprising reappearance of this temple in the Tibetan mountains a hundred and seventy-two years after it was destroyed. Let's go to Clara Contard on location."
The camera then shows Clara filming the Guardians' temple from a helicopter.
"That's correct, Nadja." Clara said. "But what makes this phenomenon particularly unexplainable is that all the monks who used to live in the temple have also reappeared after they disappeared in the year 1844!"
"The defeat of that sentimonster must have had something to do with this..." Drake muttered.
At Fu's massage shop, Marinette showed the news report to Fu, Ashley, and Falx.
"So, my mistake has been undone." Fu said. "The monks have been freed and the temple has been restored. I can't thank you enough, Marinette. And Cat Noir. I'm finally free from the burden of the past that has been haunting me for so long. I shall go and see them someday soon and explain everything to them." This got a nod from Marinette. "Your training is complete, Marinette. You are now a fully-fledged Ladybug. And the time has come for me to prepare you to become the new guardian."
"The guardian? But Master, you're the guardian! You have been for a hundred and seventy-two years!" Marinette shouted in shock.
"Precisely. It's high time I handed it over. You have proven that you are more worthy of it than I am." Fu said. "In fact, your training is starting right now. You will spend the next twenty-four hours meditating with the Miracle Box without anything to eat."
"Uh, actually I… I need to help at the bakery." Marinette said in a nervous tone.
Fu, Ashley, and Falx laugh as this.
"I was joking. Those strict traditions did no good when I was your age. I have no intention of continuing them. Instead, your first task will be to help me carry these boxes to my van." Fu said.
"Meanwhile, we better get our stuff packed." Ashley said, getting a nod from her husband.
Meanwhile, at the unknown repository...
"I have not digested my defeat, Ladybug. It's simply honed my appetite all the more. But now that I know what the guardians looks like, I intend to put that knowledge to use, and prepare a dish of revenge especially for you! And it shall be served very cold." Gabriel said before turning to Hestia. "Are you alright?"
"I'm just shocked that all this time, two guardians were living in my own house, and they were my in-laws!" Hestia shouted. "Does Cole even know?"
"I doubt it. If he did, he would've figured out you were Damselfly a long time ago." Gabriel said. "They must've left him and Maxwell in the dark about their secret life." He then gains a pondering look. "I do wonder if they brought any Miraculous related items with them..."
"I be sure to check." Hestia said.
At the Louvre, the second statue slowly started to gain cracks.
"I have a feeling that another shadow of the past will haunt Paris soon..." Ashley's voice echoes as cooing could be heard from the statue.
To be continued.
And that's that!
So yeah, this was a heavy episode. A lot of lore was revealed.
Anyway, up next is an original episode that'll act as a Part 2 to Feast, and it's going to be another sentimonster.
Also, you may have noticed that I switched Queen Wasp and Troublemaker around. You see, it turned out I was following the episode production order, as Troublemaker was completed before Queen Wasp.
Anyway, hoped you all enjoyed, and I'll see you next time.
