Welcome back everyone! I have the first chapter of drabbles here for you guys! While all drabble chapters still count as canon in the story, they won't always be as long as the normal chapters. Some of them might even stick entirely to the chat format shown in the first chapter. Either way, I hope to make these chapters just as enjoyable to read as the others. With that out of the way, let's get on with the reviews section.
Rogue H. Dragoon- Thanks! I'll do my best!
14- I'm glad you do!
Remzal Von Enili- Thanks!
That should wrap up everyone at the time this chapter is published. Anyway, let's begin. I don't own Miraculous, Danny Phantom, Marvel, or DC. I do own any original characters, concepts, creatures, and places that work their way into the story unless stated otherwise.
Mousegirl15- Marinette (Mouse)
Crashnebula- Danny (Crash)
Nightwing- Dick (Nightwing)

Mousegirl15: Hey guys! I just got back from a bakery run and feel a little Doomed.
Anyone want in?
I just realized you might be asleep in America right now! Sorry!
Crashnebula has logged on.
Crashnebula: You actually caught me right as I got on my computer!
I'm always up for it!
Plus my at home friends are busy and I don't like playing by myself.
Mousegirl15: Great!
Now we just have to see if Nightwing can hop on.
Nightwing has logged on.
Nightwing: Sorry!
I was lurking while on the ride home.
I can hop on for a while but then I need to do some homework.
It's due tomorrow but I can get that done in two minutes tops.
Crashnebula: I started working ahead on homework after the last time I made a decision like that earned me an F on a test.
Mom wouldn't let me do anything else till I was caught up and it kinda stuck.
Mousegirl15: Lol. She was probably just trying to help you not make the same mistake.
They do it out of love.
Nightwing: I love the energy and lightheartedness but can we hop on?
I just got to Aquatia and need to beat it before I have my match with Babs
Crashnebula: No problem! I have a quest there too.
Mousegirl15: I actually haven't beat that one myself since it's optional.
The rewards are sweet though and it does require a party to play.
Let's go!
One Hour Later
Nightwing: I should have guessed this would be a dead zone.
Looks like we're going to have to go without the Tiki Colossus.
Crashnebula: That's fine! I still have all my Phantom Fury charges (1).
I can't believe they made that a feature.
Nightwing: You seem to know about it and Tiki Colossus a good bit
Even for someone who played the original Doomed
Mousegirl15: Well he is the only one of the three of us who was on the same server when it happened.
Crash's entitled to his own secrets, same as you and me.
Crashnebula: Thanks Mousegirl!
Heads up! Boss room three o'clock!
Nightwing: That's where the relic is!
I need it to replace my sword!
With my proficiencies it'll make it easier to fight Babs
Mousegirl15: Good! We're on the right track then! Let's pick up the pace!
Crashnebula: CRAP!
It's Skeledra!
He was one of the first secret bosses in the last game!
Nightwing: Looks like they buffed him for this one!
Hang on! Each of the five heads does venom damage!
Mousegirl15: My Shield of Hercules grants protection from venom damage! I'll draw fire while you guys go for a weak point!
Crashnebula: Mouse wait! That's not venom charging!
Mousegirl15 has fallen
Mousegirl15: Shadow damage!? They brought that back from the Doomed development cycle!?
Nightwing: Mouse is down and we're dealing with shadow power! We're not equipped!
Bail! He's charging the multi-attack!
Crashnebula: It's a boss battle! We can't bail!
Crashnebula has fallen
Nightwing has fallen
Crashnebula: …I'm sorry but what the crabapples!?
Why would they bring back shadow damage!? That broke the beta when they tried to implement it last time!
Nightwing: It's fine guys!
This is why we only took healing items and buffs in our inventories.
We only lost the dungeon drops.
Mousegirl15: Nightwing's right.
Let's calm down and try to figure this out.
How did Skeledra attack through the columns?
Nightwing: It looked like the effect of a Ring of Phazor.
It makes the wearer intangible. They can only be harmed by spectral damage.
Crashnebula: I learned pretty early on with Phantom Fury that only spectral weapon attacks can deal damage when the player is intangible
Two of the five heads had glowing green teeth when he went intangible.
Mousegirl15: That means he can only deal damage with those two heads at that point!
Crash is resistant to spectral attacks so he took less damage!
Nightwing: Doesn't mean much when he can take us out in one hit.
Crashnebula: We'll just have to keep trying out different combinations until we find something that works.
Mousegirl15: We can't take too long. Nightwing needs to get that homework done.
Nightwing: It shouldn't take that long to take him down.
We can do this guys!
Two Hours Later
Crashnebula: HOW CAN IT BE THIS HARD TO BEAT THIS GUY!?
WE'VE BEEN AT THIS LONGER THAN ANY BOSS, AND IT'S A GROUP BOSS!
Nightwing: Calm down Crash!
We might be too under leveled to take him.
That last time we were each able to take three hits before we lost.
I lost my Cartographer's Quill trying to find the weak point, but I can get another one going.
Mousegirl15: I'm trying to keep from using a wiki, but I think we're the first to reach this boss if the people on the forum aren't talking about it.
I have no doubt that this was meant for higher ranked players.
Crashnebula: So we should just give up!?
I'm no quitter!
Nightwing: Hold your horses Crash!
No one's giving up! We might have to just try again tomorrow when we can think.
Crashnebula: The update that launches tomorrow night cuts off this area till a later level!
If we don't do this by then we lose the rewards!
Mousegirl15: It doesn't help anything to keep playing angry. We have to keep our heads.
Crashnebula: Did that stubbornness help with Alya?
Message deleted
Nightwing: 😱
Crashnebula: Mouse I didn't mean it.
Mousegirl15 has logged off
Crashnebula: Mouse wait!
I'm sorry!
Nightwing: I'm gonna catch up on homework. Goodnight Crash
Nightwing has logged off
Crashnebula: Guys wait!
Next Day
Crashnebula has logged on
Crashnebula: Mousegirl15, can we talk?
I just wanted to say I'm sorry about yesterday. It wasnt right for me to say that after everything you went through.
I was going through some rough times back when I'd go afk mid dungeon and I shouldn't have gotten on.
Even then, I know that's not an excuse.
I know you probably don't wanna hear from me right now, but it wouldn't be right by you if I just let this go on for much longer.
If it's too much for us to be on the same server I'll leave. In any case, I hope you can forgive me.
Mousegirl15 has logged on
Mousegirl15: Sorry for taking so long to reply.
I was in the middle of a personal project when you started ing me.
I won't lie and say it didn't hurt Crash. You knew just as well as Nightwing that what happened still bothers me.
Crashnebula: Yeah. That was sucky of me.
I can still leave if you're uncomfortable.
Mousegirl15: No!
Let me finish before you go saying stuff like that!
I've had arguments with a friend of mine before, and we both said things that hurt the other like what happened last night.
Still, we didn't let it keep us from being friends. We talked about it and found a way to move forward each time.
Now he's basically become my best friend.
The point is, I forgive you. Just please don't say that kind of thing, alright?
Crashnebula: Deal.
Guess it's a little too late to take on Skeledra now. He's unbeatable without a viable counter.
Nightwing has logged on
Nightwing: Not necessarily.
Also, it's "wasn't", Crash
Crashnebula: To Kill A Mocking Bird! We need to get you a bell notification for when you hop on man!
And now my teacher has me swearing in book titles too.
Nightwing: My bad.
Anyway, I think I found the answer to how Skeledra keeps getting in those massive hits.
Each time he hits us, our avatars flash red. That's the exact same color an enemy flashes when we land a critical hit.
Mousegirl15: He must have a high crit rate. On top of that, shadow attacks crit easier than the other elements do.
Crashnebula: That's why we don't take as much damage from his spectral attacks.
They have the worst crit rate in the game.
If we can debuf him to where his crits land less often we can actually hit his weak points.
Nightwing: Prepare your best gear for spectral attacks. Tonight we feed on boss exp.
Thirty Minutes Later
Crashnebula: This is it. It's now or never.
After this update, defeating this boss won't have the same satisfaction.
Nightwing: Then let's make this attempt count.
If we succeed, we can chalk it up as one of the greatest achievements of our guild.
Mousegirl15: Here we go guys.
Time to get Miraculous!
Nightwing: …Needs a little work.
Crashnebula: I don't know man. I kinda like it.
Mousegirl15: It was just off the top of my head. I didn't think it through.
Nightwing: We can workshop the battle cry later. His animation is playing.
Remember the plan.
Mousegirl15: I'll draw his attention with the bagpipe while keeping behind the columns.
Crashnebula: I'll use my speed to dodge around and hit him with debuffs.
Nightwing: And I'll use radiant attacks in order to deal massive damage.
Let's do this!
One epic battle later
Nightwing: Pin him Crash!
Crashnebula: He won't stand a ghost of a chance!
Got him!
Watch out for the tail Mouse!
Mousegirl15: Thanks! Hit him Nightwing!
Critical Hit
Crashnebula: Did that get him?
This isn't one of those fake outs like earlier?
Mousegirl15: I think I see the dissipation.
Wait that's dust on my screen.
I should really clean this thing. I'm usually better about that.
Nightwing: Eyes up! Something's happening!
Aquatia Cleared!
Rewards:
Twin Dragon Break-Staff
Scale of Phazor
Skelebane Blade
2,000,000 gold (divided amongst party)
3000 exp (each)
Crashnebula: We did it!
Oh my gosh so many hours of boss time! That's final boss stuff!
Nightwing: If he ends up being part of the final area play Warriors by Imagine Dragon
Mousegirl15: Awesome! Which one were you needing Nightwing?
There are two weapons and one material.
Nightwing: The Twin Dragon Break-Staff.
I had to stop using Break-Staffs for a while when they stopped leveling up to where I need them.
Now I can fight at full capacity now.
I should design one in real life.
Crashnebula: Either way, looks like you get what you wanted.
Mouse you can have the rest of the relics.
Mousegirl15: No way!
You could use the Phazor Scale to upgrade your build!
Crashnebula: I caused a lot of trouble and hurt your feelings yesterday.
It's the least I can do.
Mousegirl15: Crash, it literally does nothing for me.
You'll be doing a favor for me taking it. I'd much rather my friend get their use out of it.
Please.
Crashnebula: Well when you put it like that…
Nightwing: You guys. Update's coming on in a few minutes!
Take your picks now!
Crashnebula: Done!
Just in time for the shut off.
Wish we had some other game to play together.
Not a lot of good ones we can all do.
Mousegirl: We can look into that later.
There's an Akuma attack nearby so we need to take cover.
Nightwing: Seriously, someone should get the league on the case.
Preferably the ones who aren't overly emotional.
Crashnebula: Nothing we can do about it now.
Stay safe Mouse… and thanks for being my friend.
Mousegirl15: No problem!
Good to know for sure that I have friends here.
Nightwing: Always Mouse.
Don't you ever forget it.
That's chapter 2 down! I hope I did this chapter justice. I wanted to show the group learning to trust each other, as well as the trials that come with growing relationships. Mari is still recuperating from what happened to her and Danny has some issues he hasn't unloaded to friends and family. There are going to be troubles.
It's how they deal with these troubles that defines their friendship. In any case, what did you think of the first set of drabbles? Did you like the way the chapter played out? Do you wish you could have seen the boss fight? (Me too honestly.) Let me know what you think in a review down below and I'll get back to you ASAP. This is Inkaliber, signing out.
1: A power based on his Phantom abilities being used through his character in the episode with Doomed in it.
