Entry #96
After the trips through memory lane, I think I need a little break. Perhaps some time with Kagami?
Now that I think about it, should I tell her about my heroic life?
Season 3 Opening Intro(Halo by Starset)(I don't own the song)
In his room, Drake was on his computer with Spyro, Cynder, and Longg watching a video with Mireille and Aurore in it.
"Hey, buddies. As you know, Friendship Day is officially here." Mireille said.
"Today, hundreds of amazing new friendships will be created all over Paris." Aurore said before facing her partner. "Right, Mireille?"
"You got it, Aurore." Mireille said. "Once again, buddies, this year you and your secret new friend, picked at random, will go on an exciting adventure across Paris, searching for a hidden celebrity."
And this time, our celebrity is none other than the muse of Gabriel brand: the one and only Adrien Agreste!" Aurore said before then screen shows the blonde model.
"Hello." Adrien greeted.
"So..." Spyro said before looking Drake. "You get paired with a random stranger, then go on a manhunt for a random celebrity using riddles?"
"Pretty much." Drake said with a shrug.
"While I'm up for making new friends, being pair with someone by someone else, at random, doesn't sound all that appealing." Cynder said.
"Still, you do make a new friend." Longg said in a hopeful tone.
"Wasn't my idea." Drake said before looking back at the video.
"Let me recap the rules for our buddies here." Mireille continued. "When Adrien pushes this button, thousands of text messages will be simultaneously sent all across Paris. In the message, each of you will find a first riddle to solve, which will eventually lead you to your new friend. Then, together you'll attempt to solve more riddles, which, if done correctly, will lead you straight to Adrien."
"Right here, in this super-secret location, where I'll be waiting for the lucky winners." Adrien said. "Ready?"
"Three, two, one, GO!" Mireille, Aurore, and Adrien shouted before the latter presses a button.
Suddenly, Drake's phone buzzes. Picking it up, he saw that he got his riddle.
"Round and round, in the oldest of planned lands." Drake said, reading the riddle out loud. Thinking it over for a bit, the answer came to him. "The Merry-go-Round at the Place des Vosges!"
Packing his things, and putting the dragons in his fanny pack, Drake heads out.
Meanwhile, at Jardin des Tuileries, Kagami was practicing fencing with her mother, Tomoe.
"It's no use, Mother. I am not worthy of fighting against you." Kagami said.
"Remember the story of the female samurai warrior, Tomoe Gozen?" Tomoe asked. "In a time when women warriors were so few and rarely accepted, do you think she gave up? Perching on her steed, wielding her naginata, she fought her way to recognition. As elusive as the wind, as powerful as the flood, as swift as lightning." That's when Kagami's phone rings. "What was that?"
"Congratulations. You've just received the first riddle." A voice message said.
"It's a game." Kagami explained.
"That you signed up for without my permission?" Tomoe asked in a stern tone.
"No, Mother. This must be a mistake." Kagami said.
A while later, the two walk to their car.
"Tatsu, door." Tomoe ordered.
"Welcome, Ms. Tsurugi." Tatsu, the car's A.I., said as it opens the door.
"You know, Mother, Drake Firstbourne and Adrien Agreste is participating in this… game." Kagami said.
"Gabriel Agreste and Hestia Firstbourne has many admirable qualities, but this only goes to prove that even they are flawed by being too permissive with their sons. In some ways, their more blind than I am." Tomoe said, not noticing that Kagami was secretly recording her voice. "Tatsu, to the Grand Palais."
"Very well, Ms. Tsurugi." Tatsu said as Kagami stops recording.
Back with Drake, he arrives at the Place des Vosges Merry-go-Round, where he sees a boy his age.
The boy has cinnamon skin, black hair, and brown eyes. He was wearing a plain white t-shirt, blue jeans, black sneakers, and a bird-shaped badge over where his heart is.
"Hey there. Are you my partner?" Drake asked as he approaches the boy.
"Yeah. I'm Asriel Karma." The boy said, shaking Drake's hand. "Can't believe my partner is Drake Firstbourne!"
Just then, their phone beeped.
"Congratulations! You've just located your game partner. And who knows? Maybe even a new friend for life. You've just received the second riddle!" A voice message said.
"A giver of water born during the reign of a general turn emperor." Drake said, reading the riddle out loud.
"The Fontaine du Palmier!" Asriel said as the answer hits him. "A fountain built during Napoleon's reign."
"Well then, let's go." Drake said before the two head off.
Back with Kagami and Tomoe, they arrived at Grand Palais.
"Tatsu, take Kagami back to our home. I will return in two hours." Tomoe said as she gets out of the car.
As the car take off, Kagami takes her phone out.
"Alright. Two hours." She said before turning on a timer. "Let's play."
"Congratulations! You've just received the first riddle." The voice message said.
"With one turn of a handle, I can raise the level." Kagami said, looking at the riddle. "Ha, child's play. Tatsu, take me to Canal Saint-Martin."
"Voice recognition failed." Tatsu said, causing Kagami to open the recording.
"Tatsu." The recording said.
"Take me to Canal Saint-Martin." Kagami ordered.
"Very well, Ms. Tsurugi." Tatsu said as the car changes course.
We return to Drake as he and his partner Asriel were at the Fontaine du Palmier.
"We're here. So now what?" Asriel asked as he looks around.
Looking at the fountain, Drake notices something in the water. Rolling up his sleeve, he dips his hand into the water and pulls the object out.
It was a small, water-proof box. Opening it, Drake and Asriel saw that it was some sort of fridge magnet.
"A crappy Queen Bee fridge magnet? Lame." Asriel said in a disappointed tone.
That's when their phones buzz, revealing their next riddle.
"The face of a self-proclaim queen, it has a hive it calls home." Drake read out loud. "Obviously the next stop is the Le Grand Paris."
"Hopefully the next riddle gives us actual challenge." Asriel said before the two went on their way.
Meanwhile, at Pont des Arts, Kagami and Marinette, who were partnered up, finds a fishing rod with a magnet attached.
"Look, we were right. We have to fish up the next clue using this rod and magnet." Kagami said, picking up the rod before handing it to Marinette. "Here. Now fish."
Casting the rod, Marinette quickly reels up a rusty whistle.
"Probably not the clue." Kagami said before throwing the whistle in a cardboard box. As Marinette continues fishing, Kagami decided to make some small talk. "Do you prefer to be called by your whole name, or a nickname?"
"Uh– by… my… whole name…?" Marinette said in a confused tone as she fishes up a rusty pan.
"Thank you, Marinette. Uh– Your hair is… very shiny." Kagami said, smiling awkwardly.
"Ehm... thank you...? Your hair is not… too bad, either…" Marinette said, feeling very confused and awkward. She then decided to change the subject. "So... How are things with Drake?"
"They're going great!" Kagami said, brightening up a bit. "Drake is such a great guy."
"He sure is." Marinette said. "Do you have anything special plan?
"No..." Kagami said in a sad tone. "In fact, we haven't been dating as much as we would've like to. We have busy schedules. And the times we do hang out, it's always cut short, either by an akuma or our mothers. In fact, I was kind of hoping to be paired with Drake."
"If you were, you two would be too distracted with each other to solve any riddles." Marinette joked, getting a small laugh from Kagami. "Anyway, don't worry. I'm sure Drake is doing whatever he can to be with you."
"Thanks." Kagami said with a small smile. That's when Marinette fishes up the clue. "The clue. You've done a great job fishing."
Back with Drake and Asriel, they walk out of the Le Grand Paris, with the latter holding a box of some kind.
"Okay, we have our next clue." Asriel said before opening the box, revealing a Dragnarok plushy. "What the?"
"A depiction of a great hero, but there is one far greater." Drake said, reading the riddle out loud. "Hmm... If I had to hazard a guess, I say the Dragnarok statue."
Luckily, the statue wasn't that far, just a few blocks away.
As Drake looks around for the clue, Asriel looks at the statue in awe.
"So cool..." He muttered as places his hand on the statue. "I wish I could be hero just like you." Asriel then gains a downcast look. "Like that would ever happen..."
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.
"How tragic. We all want to be like our heroes, but that dream isn't always possible." 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 its victim.
Back at the statue, Drake notices Asriel's down look.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked.
"It's just... I want to be like Dragnarok, a hero." Asriel said in a glum tone.
"You can be a hero." Drake said. "You don't need powers to be a hero. Doctors, police, firefighters... Those are heroes, as they help and save lives."
"I see your point." Asriel said, smiling as he cheers up a bit.
Nearby, the akuma, sensing the negative emotion fading, flies off to find a replacement.
Meanwhile, Marinette and Kagami were on their final challenge.
It's a trust challenge, where the partners swap phones and take a selfie.
Marinette was about the take a selfie when Kagami's phone rings.
"Hello?" Marinette said, answering the phone.
"Kagami, where are you? You were supposed to wait for me at home." Tomoe said on the other end.
"Uhh– Hello ma'am, I'm not Kagami, actually." Marinette said.
"Who are you?! Where's my daughter?!" Tomoe demanded.
"Kagami! I'm a friend of Kagami's, I'm right here with her. I'll put her on the phone." Marinette said.
"Kagami doesn't have any friends. Why do you have her phone?" Tomoe asked.
That's when Marinette notices the panicked look on Kagami's face.
"Oh I can assure you, ma'am, I am a friend of Kagami's. We've been teamed up together for a game." The bluenette said.
"A game?! But I forbade her to!" Tomoe shouted.
"A game? Did I say game? Oh no, I meant a grab… to grab– I invited Kagami over to grab some orange juice with me. She'll be back home soon, I promise." Marinette said, getting a smile from Kagami. "I'll even walk her home myself."
While this was happening, the akuma approaches Tomoe.
"One negative emotion is disappearing. But another is forming quickly. I can feel the anger of a mother whose authority has been challenged. Go, my Akuma, and seek out this new prey." Hawk Moth said.
"Stop fooling around, young lady, and put my daughter through. I can assure you she will not be enjoying any glasses of–" Tomoe said before the akuma enters her bokken.
"Ikari Gozen, I am Hawk Moth." Hawk Moth greeted.
Back with Marinette and Kagami...
"Ma'am, please don't punish your daughter. Ma'am? Hello?" Marinette asked.
"With pleasure, Hawk Moth." Tomoe said through the phone.
"I'm sorry, I really did try to smooth things over, but I think your mom's super-duper angry now and will be looking for you. I actually think you might wanna hide someplace where she won't find you." Marinette said in a scared tone.
Back with Tomoe, dark magic consumes both her and her car. Once it lifts, standing in her place was Ikari Gozen.
Drake and Asriel, who were nearby, saw what was happening.
"Get somewhere safe Asriel, I'll get help." Drake said.
Asriel, who was in a panic, nodded before taking off.
Once he was alone, Drake hides in a nearby alleyway and let's Spyro and Cynder out.
"Is that Kagami's mother?" Spyro asked in a shocked tone.
"Well, Kagami did text me that she was taking part in the game, despite her mother's wishes." Drake said.
"That means she after Kagami!" Cynder said in a panicked tone.
Hearing that, Drake instantly knew what he must do.
"Henshin!" Once Spyro and Cynder were absorbed into his wristbands, Drake let's out a roar as he turns into Dragnarok. "Unleash the Dragon!"
And with that, Dragnarok follows after Ikari Gozen.
Dragnarok soon arrived at Jardin des Tuileries, where he sees Kagami in Ikari Gozen's hand.
"Kagami! You disobeyed me! You will never go out again!" The villain shouted.
But before she can do anything, Dragnarok uses Dragon Time before flying in and gets Kagami out of Ikari Gozen's grip.
Flying to a nearby roof top, while ignoring the angry shouting from the villain, Dragnarok puts Kagami down.
"Are you okay, Dreamsicle?" Dragnarok asked before quickly covering his mouth.
"Dreamsicle? Only one person calls me that..." Kagami said as she stares at the draconic hero.
Seeing that he had screw up and was caught, Dragnarok let out a sigh.
"Detransform me." He said, turning back into Drake Firstbourne.
"Drake?! You're-" Kagami shouted in shock.
"Dragnarok? Yep." Drake said. "Have been before we even met."
"This... explains a few things." Kagami said quietly, still trying to comprehend what was happening.
"Surprised by the fact you're dating a superhero?" Drake asked in a sarcastic tone. He then gestures to Spyro and Cynder. "Anyway, meet my friends. The purple one is Spyro, while the black one is Cynder."
"It's nice to finally meet you properly Kagami." Spyro said with Cynder nodding in agreement.
"Look, I know you have a lot of questions, but I need to stop your akumatized mother." Drake said.
However, before he could transform, Kagami grabs his hand.
"I want to help." She said, surprising Drake and the dragons. "This is a personal matter between a mother and a daughter."
Before Drake could say anything, an idea pops into his head.
"Well, I do have way you could help." He said as take the Dragon Miraculous off his neck and gives it to Kagami.
Once it her hands, Longg pops out the choker.
"Greetings, young lady and good day to you. Fear not, I am Longg, the Dragon Kwami." The Kwami greeted.
"You're a what?" Kagami asked.
"A Kwa-mi." Longg said. "Allow me to tell you about the many feats that a magic being like myself will help you accomplish once the magic words have been spoken." Kagami then puts on the Miraculous. " Say 'Longg, bring the storm!' and you will defeat Ikari Gozen with panache, using the element of your choosing. Wind, water or lightning."
"Longg, bring the storm!" Kagami shouted, causing Longg to be absorbed into the choker and transforms Kagami, who gives herself a quick look over only the transformation was complete. "I can be as elusive as wind! I am Ryuko." She then notices Drake staring at her with a huge blush on his face. "Um... Drake?"
"Sorry, it's just... you look amazing!" Drake said, looking at Ryuko with awe... and bit of love and lust.
"Thanks." Ryuko said with a flattered tone.
"Now it's my turn!" Drake said before a stance. ""Henshin!" Once Spyro and Cynder were absorbed into his wristbands, Drake let's out a roar as he turns into Dragnarok. "Unleash the Dragon!"
"Incredible..." Ryuko said in awe.
"Back at ya." Dragnarok said. "Now then. Shall we save the day, my Dreamsicle?"
"Indeed, my handsome dragon." Ryuko said, getting a blush from Dragnarok.
And with that, the draconic couple take off.
Arriving at Place de la Concorde, Dragnarok and Ryuko saw Ladybug, Cat Noir, and the rest of Team Draconic fighting Ikari Gozen.
"The Akuma's probably hiding inside her bokken." Ladybug said.
"In order to use my Cataclysm, we gotta bring her guard down, first." Cat Noir said.
"And that's easier said than done." Siorc added.
That's when Dragnarok and Ryuko lands next to them.
"Perhaps we could help." The draconic hero said.
"Glad you could make it Dragnarok." Swallow said before looking Ryuko. "And who is this?"
"I am Ryuko." Ryuko introduced herself as she holds Dragnarok's hand, which the other heroes noticed.
"Is that..?" Echidna muttered as she, Swallow, Grizzly, and Siorc slowly realized who Ryuko really was.
"Anyway, got a plan Ladybug?" Dragnarok asked.
"Working on it. Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted, throwing her yo-yo into the air, summoning... a box of bath bombs.
"A box of bath bombs?" Cat Noir asked as Ladybug looks around. "You really think it's time to take a bath?"
"I think I have an idea." Dragnarok said as takes the bath bombs. "Just follow my lead."
The draconic hero then walks up to Ikari Gozen, who notices him.
"Where's Kagami?!" The villain demanded.
"Safe from you." Dragnarok said before grabbing his pendant. "Armor Up!" After the Dark Armor appears on his body, Dragnarok forms an Aether sword. "However, if you can beat me in a dual, then I could tell you."
"A duel with the famous hero? Sound interesting." Ikari Gozen said. "En Garde!"
The two then began to clash blades. After a while, it seems that the two are equally matched.
That when an Odonata flies in and lands on the villain's bokken.
"Hello Ikari Gozen, I am Damselfly." Damselfly greeted. "Let's increase your speed, shall we?"
"Thank you, Damselfly." Ikari Gozen said before unleashing a barrage of fast sword strikes on Dragnarok.
Try as he might, but the draconic hero couldn't keep up. The sword was knocked out of his hand, causing him to fall flat onto his tail.
"I win!" Ikari Gozen shouted as she picks Dragnarok up. "Where is Kagami?!"
"You cheated! I won't tell you anything!" The draconic hero shouted.
"Why you-!" The villain shouted before swallowing Dragnarok whole.
"Dragnarok!" The others shouted.
"Let him go!" Ryuko demanded.
"Don't worry. You'll be joining your little boyfriend." Ikari Gozen taunted before grabbing and swallowing Ryuko as well.
In the villain, the draconic couple were strapped onto car seats.
"Less than ideal." Dragnarok said as he burns his way out of the straps, freeing himself. He then frees Ryuko. "Now then, my Dreamsicle..." He then takes out the bath bombs. "Ready to give your mother a good wash out?"
"Of course. Water dragon!" Ryuko shouted, morphing into water.
As the water mixes with the bath bomb, suds began to erupt out of Ikari Gozen.
"Cat, now!" Grizzly shouted, seeing an opening.
"Cataclysm!" The feline hero shouted, activating his power and using it on the bokken, destroying it and releasing the akuma.
"No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma. Time to de-evilise!" Ladybug shouted as she catches the akuma with her yo-yo. "Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly! Miraculous Ladybug!" She then throws her yo-yo into the air, restoring any damage while turning Ikari Gozen back into Tomoe, which also releases Dragnarok and Ryuko.
"Pound it!" Ladybug and Cat Noir fist-bump. Meanwhile, Dragnarok and Ryuko fist-bumped while Echidna, Swallow, Siorc, and Grizzly have a four-way high-five.
Dragnarok then takes Ryuko to a nearby alleyway.
"Longg, open sky!" Ryuko said, turning back into Kagami.
"I must say, you did well." Dragnarok said.
"I wasn't good enough." Kagami said in a down tone as she hands the Dragon Miraculous to her boyfriend.
"Hey, this was your first time. I wasn't that good when I first became a hero." Dragnarok said. "Trust me, you'll get better with time."
"You think so?" Kagami asked.
"I know so." Dragnarok said. "Anyway, come by my place later. I'll explain everything."
In the streets of Paris, Tomoe was waiting in the car.
That's when Kagami walks up.
"I'm sorry I wasn't truthful with you, Mother. But I really wanted to try and make a friend." She said.
"You already have Drake and Adrien." Tomoe said.
"It's not the same." Kagami argued.
"I understand that you want to make friends, but friendships can prove disappointing sometimes." Tomoe said before letting out a sigh. "Be home in time for dinner."
Later that day, in Drake's room, Drake was explaining to Kagami how he became Dragnarok.
Standing off to the side was Ombra, Brandish, Maven, Ingrid, Spyro, Cynder, and Ignitus.
"So, that is the story on how Dragnarok was born..." Kagami said in awe.
"Yep." Drake said. "And look, if this is too much for you, you could-."
Kagami stopped him with a kiss on the lips.
"Drake or Dragnarok, you are still my handsome dragon." She said, getting a blush from her boyfriend. He was about to hand her the Dragon Miraculous, but she stops him. "I don't think I'm ready to keep the Miraculous."
"Oh." Drake said in a slight sad tone. "Still, you'll help if we need you?"
"Of course." Kagami said with a smile.
"Well then, welcome to Team Draconic!" Ombra said, getting cheers from the others.
"Welcome to the team." Drake said before kissing Kagami, who kisses back.
And that's that!
Ryuko has entered the stage and is now a member of Team Draconic! However, it'll be like the actual show, where she doesn't keep the Dragon Miraculous.
Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed, and I'll see you next time!
