Boom! Zap! And more was happening behind Marinette as she was running through the school, getting away from two akumatized people trying to get her for some reason. One looked like a weather girl and the other had a WiFi logo on her chest.
The WiFi lady puts the pause on Marinettes running, literally. She threw a pause symbol at Marinette and it froze her.
The crazy weather lady then aimed her umbrella at Marinette and zaps her, freezing her in ice. Now marinette was double frozen and in double trouble, who's gonna save her!
When all hope seemed lost, a heroic manly artist hero appeared to save the day. He first quickly erased the weather girl's umbrella before it could be used. Then he trapped the two villains in a box.
While the villains tried to bust out by punching the thick glass box they were trapped in, the artist hero erased the ice and the pause button that kept Marinette, once she was free, she was overjoyed to see her hero." Oh super Nathan! You're my hero, I love you!" Said Marinette as she gets close to Super Nathan, acting very weird.
Super Nathan simply smiled." And love you Marinette." Said Super Nathan, about to kiss her, but then a voice spoke up.
"Nathan!" Everything turned into a sketch, turns out this was all just one of Nathans sketch fantasies. The teacher caught Nathan drawing when he should be paying attention to her science lesson.
Before Nathan could apologize, the teacher spoke up again."I have given you to many warnings about this Nathan, now I want you to go to the principals office." She said, tired of him constantly drawing in her class when Nathan should be listening to her lessons.
All Nathan could do was listen to his teacher, so he grabs his stuff and puts it away in his bag. After that, Nathan then held his bag as he walked away to head to the office, but he ended up tripping over Chloe's bag and falls to the ground. As Nathan does, his sketch book came out and it just so happens to open up on the page he was working on.
While the teacher helps up Nathan, Chloe snatched up the sketch book and smirked as she stared at the drawings." Well what do we have here? It's a drawing of Nathan and Marinette together. Looks like someone has a crush on someone's girlfriend." Chloe said that out loud for all of the class to hear.
Everyone was surprised by this, though Marinette and Cayde were more surprised to hear this, both looking at Nathan. Both were uncomfortable by this and for good reasons." Dude, seriously? Uncool." Said Cayde, finding it to be strange and a bit disturbing. It's one thing to have a crush on someone's partner, it's a whole other thing when you draw fan art of you and your crush together when they're with someone else.
Marinette decided to add some of her own thoughts to the whole drawing of her thing."Nathan, as flattering as it is, please don't draw me again without my consent. It's...creepy." Explained Marinette, trying to be as kind as she can given the circumstances.
Nathan was heart broken by this, and angry at this. So Nathan ends up running away after snatching his book back from Chloe, handling things super mature like after getting caught.
Far away in a certain tower somewhere in Paris was Hawkmoth. He was able to sense the negative emotions in young Nathan's heart. Once he felt this he immediately sent off one of his akumas to akumatize the boy.
The negative butterfly flies all the way to the school and it went right for a pen that Nathan dropped, Once Nathan picked it up, he was now under the control of hawkmoth." Are you tired of others judging your drawings? Worry not Evillustator, I shall give you the power to erase all of your enemies. All I ask in return is the miraculous's of ladybug and catnoir, and the destruction of the hero Omni." Hawkmoth commanded his pawn of evil.
"It shall be done hawkmoth." Said Nathan as dark energy surrounded him, transforming him into Evillustator.
So while this happened, the teacher from earlier was dividing the class up into groups of three." Marinette, Alya, and Adrian will be group three." Said the teacher, reading off a list she made last night.
Alya, Marinette, and Adrian all looked at each other with smiles. Looks like they got lucky, Cayde on the other hand got bad luck and he figured that out really quick." Oh no, that just leaves..." Cayde slowly and regrettably, looked over at Chloe and Sabrina.
"Cayde, Chloe, and Sabrina will be the fourth and final group." Said the teacher as she then sets her list down and then takes a seat.
Cayde groans a bit as he slams his head down onto his science book that's on his desk." Why universe...why." Cayde asked, thinking the universe is punishing for something.
Marinette pats Cayde on the back, feeling sorry for her boyfriend." Look on the bright side...okay maybe there isn't a bright side to this." Marinette tried to comfort Cayde but she was unable to think of something that would cheer Cayde up.
Chloe didn't want Cayde working with her and Sabine, the reason was because Chloe dislikes Cayde a lot and doesn't wanna share her school work doing sla-I mean best friend." Can it just be me and Sabrina? We work much better together, just the two of us." Said Chloe.
The teacher frowns as she looked at Chloe." This is a group project, not a duo project." She said as she then returned to a science book she was reading.
Chloe pouted a bit." I am not alright with this." Chloe mumbled to herself as she crosses her arms. This group is gonna go well...not.
After class was over, Sabrina and Chloe were talking by Chloe's locker." Forget it Sabrina, I have more important things to do than work on some dumb science project. Besides, now you have Cayde to help you." Said Chloe, being terrible as usual.
Sabrina, being the brain washed victim that she is, is cool with this." Oh it's alright Chloe. We'll take care of everything." Said Sabrina with smile. Oh poor mistreated Sabrina.
Thatwasn't gonna fly with Cayde, especially now that he just heard it as he was walking past them to head to the library. Cayde stops and walked over to them." Are my ears tricking me, or did I just hear you say you're not gonna help." Said Cayde, not about to let this go.
Chloe scoffs a bit." You heard right and don't even bother asking why cause it's none of your business." Said Chloe, being bitchy towards Cayde cause she feels like it.
Cayde frowns at this and was about to say something, but Sabrina spoke up first." It's alright Cayde. We can do all the research and the writing for our project and then Chloe can present it so it's all equal." Said the poor brain washed Sabrina.
Cayde couldn't believe what he was hearing, actually he could, it's Chloe." That is not equal at all. It's the complete opposi-wait, is that how you two work?" Cayde really hopes that's not the case, but a huge part of him knows that is the case.
Sabrina nodded enthusiastically." Yep! We have done it this way since grade school, and we've been BFF's ever since!" Said Sabrina. She and Chloe have known each other for a long time, but that's very bad since that means Sabrina has been forced to do Chloe's work for such a long.
"Do you have a problem with that Redgrave? Come on Sabrina." Said Chloe, about to walk away.
Before Sabrina could follow after Chloe, Cayde stops her." Sabrina, Chloe is not your best friend, not even your friend. She's just using you, and no real friends do that." Said Cayde as he glares slightly at Chloe. He really wants to flip her off or something.
Chloe grabs Sabrina and pulled her over to her."Hey! I am her friend, hell I'm her only friend, so she better do what I say or I won't be friends with her." Said Chloe with a smirk on her very punchable face:
Cayde just gave a blank expression."Yeah, if that's the case I'd rather have no friends." Said Cayde as he folded his arms against his chest, tired of Chloe.
This just makes the spoiled brat scoff." Whatever, I have more important things to do, my hair needs some work." Said Chloe as she walked away, planning on going to a hair salon and spend lots of her dad's money.
Cayde sighs with relief." Finally she's gone." Cayde said as he then started to walk away to head on home instead of going to the library. Cayde can get to work on part of the project at home, plus he likes to listen to music while working.
Before Cayde could make it out the front doors, Sabrina came running over." Wait! Cayde!"
Cayde stops and turns to her and immediately gets a quick hug from her, which was surprising for Cayde since he wasn't expecting that. Once Sabrina stopped hugging him, she finally said something." Thank you so much for standing up to Chloe for me!" Sabrina said, very happy by what Cayde has down for her.
Cayde shrugs a bit with a small smile." What are friends for Sabrina." Said Cayde casually as he was then about to walk out through the doors, But then Sabrina spoke up again.
"Really?! We're friends? I am so happy to hear that! Finally I'll have a friend that won't leave all the work to me!" Sabrina said with much joy.
Cayde stared at her for a bit and then decided to just stay here and do some of the project here at the library with Sabrina. She needs a friend." Well then friend, let's get to work, together." Cayde said with a smile as he started to walk towards the library.
Sabrina happily walked after him, though as she, she pulled out her phone and sent a quick text message to Chloe, saying that she's no longer gonna be friends with her fake cosmetic butt and that Chloe can do her part of the project by herself.
Once they both got to the library, Cayde got some books out so they could do some research now." So what I'm thinking is that we should either do the project ourselves and say Chloe did nothing to help, or just do our parts and still say Chloe did nothing." Suggested Cayde with a smile as he reached into his bag and pulled out a bag full of red jellybeans.
Sabrina smiled and nodded a bit." I think we should do the first one, that way we both get the grade while Chloe doesn't!" Sabrina said with a bit much enthusiasm, though to be fair, she is finally free from the clutches of Chloe.
Cayde smiled at this, finding her enthusiasm interesting." Sounds like a pla-" Cayde and Sabrina's moment of peace and time to do some research for the project stopped due to the sound of an annoying voice yelling.
A certain blonde came stomping over with an angry look on her face."Sabrina! What is the meaning of this!" Yelled Chloe, shoving her phone right in both Cayde and Sabrina's face.
While this happened, Adrian and Marinette were there as well, getting some books for there groups when they spotted this go down.
Cayde read the text and then not even three seconds later, he started to laugh a bit, which pissed off Chloe more. Cayde then looked at Sabrina with a grin after he stopped laughing." Nicely done." Said Cayde, loving what Sabrina did.
Hearing Cayde say that made Sabrina happy and gave her confidence to speak her mind face to face with Chloe now." I'm no longer gonna be your slave chloe. Now you can either do the project with us or not at all and fail by yourself." Said Sabrina, crossing her arms, staying her ground.
Before Chloe could make her limited choice, a giant hairdryer suddenly appeared and attacked Chloe, well tried to. Chloe ended up screaming and running away." It's gonna melt my makeup!!" Chloe screamed out as she tried to get away from it.
Cayde wished he could enjoy this, but Cayde knows that he should try to help her, though thankfully before he could do that, ladybug and cat noir appeared and put a stop to the hairdryer." They could have let it chase her a bit longer..." Cayde said as he watched this with Sabrina, who still stuck around. With her around, Cayde won't be able to join the fight.
After destroying the hairdryer, Cat noir spotted the Evillustator up on the second floor of the library, looking sus as hell." That's not suspicious at all." Commented Cat noir.
Both he and ladybug leaped up onto the second floor and tried to go after Evillustator, but he was quick to draw up a thick glass barrier, stopping the two hero's in there tracks and giving him enough time to escape.
Ladybug groans a bit as she recovers and rubs a spot on her head, but stops once she saw that the akumatized Nathan escaped." He's gone." Ladybug said as she then sighs a bit, this was just great.
"What now?" Asked Cat noir, having no real idea what to do now that the akumatized victim was gone with no trace so there's no way to track.
Ladybug thought for a moment before looking down to the first floor of the library, spotting Chloe. Ladybug sighs a bit, realizing what she will have to do." Let's get Chloe back home and then question her." Said Ladybug, part of her wants Nathan to continue terrorizing Chloe, but the hero part of ladybug knows that she shouldn't.
Cat noir nodded a bit, that sounded like a plan."Good idea, I'll contact Omni on the way there." Said Cat noir as leaps down to the first floor and walked over to Chloe, along with ladybug as she followed him.
While they escorted Chloe home, Cayde and Sabrina left the school and were heading for Cayde's house to continue working there in peace, though Cayde will probably have to bail and help out ladybug and Catnoir deal with the akumatized Nathan.
The two walked in and headed for the dining room since it had a large table. His mom Lily wasn't home and luckily for Cayde, Azmuth had his own room/workshop in the attic and guests don't really go up there so Cayde and the others had no worries about the Galvan being discovered...
Once inside of caydes house, the two of them head to the dining room table and set up their books, paper, pencils, ect. Once it all was set, Cayde got a message on his phone from Adrian. Cayde reads it over and sighs a bit." Sabrina, I gotta go. Adrian needs help with something, but don't worry, you won't have to do anyone else's work. Just do your portion and when I get back, I'll do mine, cool?" Cayde asked as he started to get his boots on.
Sabrina nodded a bit. Since he said she won't have to do any of his portion of the work or Chloe's, she's cool with him going." Sounds like a plan!" Sabrina said with a smile.
Cayde was glad to see that Sabrina was understanding." Thanks Sabrina. I'll try to hurry up." Said Cayde, walking out the door, waving goodbye as he shuts it.
Once Cayde was out the door, Sabrina got to work on her portion of the project. It didn't take long for Sabrina to be nearly done with her part, but as Sabrina worked, she heard something from above, which caused her to stop working for a second." What was that? Does Cayde have a pet?" Sabrina asked herself as she goes to investigate.
So while Sabrina went to investigate the Noise, Cayde turned into Omni and then turned into Jetray once he was in an alley." Jetray!" Jetray quickly flown over to Chloe's house, getting there just as Ladybug and catnoir arrived with Chloe.
"Nice of you to fly by." Said Catnoir with a smile as he sets Chloe down, having been the one to carry back to her house.
Jetray nodded a bit as he then turns back to Omni as he landed feet first onto the floor of Chloe's room. Omni then looked over at Chloe who immediately got to work on her nails, which annoyed both Ladybug and Omni." So, Chloe, do you have any ideas why the now akumatized Nathan is after you?" Asked Omni, though he already knows, Omni just wants her to say her.
Chloe shrugs a bit as she sets down her nail file and grabs a marker." I have like no idea, everyone adores me." Said Chloe as she was using the marker to draw something on a piece of paper.
Ladybug rolled her eyes a bit." Yeah because you're just so adorable." Ladybug said sarcastically. She honestly doesn't wanna be here and deal with Chloe right now.
Chloe gasped a bit." Oh my god! Ladybug thinks I'm cute! Not as cool is Omni said it, but still okay." Said Chloe as she pulled out her phone and tried to get a selfie with ladybug, But Omni stepped in and stops her.
"Chloe, we need to have a small hero talk. Can you go over th-what the hell is that?" Omni spotted something very very strange. Everyone looked over and saw that Chloe had a bunch of Omni pictures, dolls, and life sized inflatable doll of him.
Chloe smiled at this, thinking that this will impress Omni." Oh I am your number one fan Omni." Chloe said, getting close to Omni, making him uncomfortable and pissing off ladybug.
Ladybug grabs Omni's arm and pulled him away from Chloe." Excuse us, we have some secret hero stuff to talk about." Said Ladybug with a forced smile.
Cat noir was trying not to laugh the whole time." Looks like someone has a fa-" Catnoir stops what he was about to say to Omni after getting a glare from ladybug.
Once Ladybug stopped glaring, she spoke up." Omni and I will go search for the Evillustator while you play bodyguard." Said Ladybug, wanting her and her boyfriend far away from Chloe and Omni wanted to be far away from Chloe as well.
"Works for me." Said Omni as they both started to walk away.
Cat noir frowns a bit." Seriously? Why do I get stuck with bodyguard duty?" Asked Cat noir as he watched the two leave through the window. Cat noir heard Omni transform and shout out the name Astrodactyl.
Astrodactyl carries ladybug, his arms under her arms as he flown through the skies of Paris." So, how are we gonna find Nathan? Squawk!" Asked Astrodactyl, staring at the ground and keeping an eye out for any sighs of the akumatized Nathan.
Ladybug thought for a moment, trying to think of something, but then heard a voice coming from the Omnitrix." Cayde, are you busy at the moment? I need you to come back to the house, something has happened." It was Azmuths voice. It didn't sound too urgent or bad, though Astrodactyl should probably see what's up.
"Okay change of plans, I'll see what's up with Azmuth and you search for Nathan, Squawk!" Said Astrodactyl as he sets ladybug on a random roof.
Ladybug nodded and then swings away with her yo-yo. While Ladybug goes on the hunt for the creep artist, Astrodactyl flies on over back to his house, landing on the roof. Once there he turns back to Omni and then Back to Cayde." Hopefully whatever Azmuth is dealing with is not too bad." Said Cayde as the roof opens up a bit and a platform Cayde was on lowers down.
As Cayde descended down into Azmuth lab/the acttic, He noticed immediately that Azmuth had someone else in the lap, and they had orange hair an-oh crap it was Sabrina." Oh no..." Cayde face palms as he reaches the floor of the lab.
As Cayde walked over to them, he could hear them talking to each other."Wow, and he's gonna have to fight this Vilgax guy at some point?" Asked Sabrina, sitting in a chair while drinking some tea.
Azmuth nodded a bit." Correct, but I have faith that Cayde will be able to stop Vilgax, one way or another." Said Azmuth as he was working on something.
Cayde smiled a bit once he heard this, glad to hear that Azmuth has faith in him."Nice to hear you say that Azmuth." Said Cayde as he walked over, pulling an extra chair over to sit in.
Azmuth and Sabrina looked over at Cayde, Sabrina speaking first." Cayde, you don't have to worry about a thing! I promise to keep your secret! You can count on me!" Sabrina reassured Cayde immediately.
Cayde was glad to hear this." I'm glad to hear that Sabrina. But do you know ladybug and catnoirs identity's as well?" Asked Cayde, wanting to make sure before he accidentally blabs his mouth about their identities.
Sabrina nodded a bit." Azmuth told me all about Adrian and Marinette. Don't worry, I'll keep there secrets as well!" Said Sabrina with a smile, letting Cayde know that she's got there backs.
Cayde was glad to hear this, though now that Sabrina knows there identities, if Hawkmoth ever akumatized her then they all would be in some trouble."That's good, but now you gotta be extra careful and not get akumatized." Said Cayde, giving Sabrina a heads up.
Instead of saying something first, Sabrina shows Cayde a bracelet that has a small Omnitrix logo on it. The bracelet also looks tight on Sabrina, kinda like how the Omnitrix is on Cayde ." Azmuth already thought about that and gave me this!" Sabrina said with a smile.
Azmuth coughed a bit, about to explain what makes this bracelet so special."That device disguised as a common bracelet will be able to repel and deflect any of those negative butterfly's that may try to possess her. It takes awhile to make them and I only made ten so far." Explains Azmuth as he looked at the two.
Cayde was surprised by this because he had no idea Azmuth was in the process of making anti-akumatized gadgets." Well that solves a few problems. But right now we got a few other problems to deal with." Said Cayde as he gets up.
"Oh right, Nathan's still out there and akumatized right?" Asked Sabrina as she remains where she's at. Sabrina wants to learn more alien stuff from Azmuth.
Cayde nodded and was about to tap his belt , but then his phone buzzed a bit in his pocket. So Cayde ends up taking it out first and saw that it was a text from Marinette. Cayde reads it over and bit and then got pissed." That artist prick...Nathan paid Marinette a visit when she went home and told her to go out on a date with him and dump me or Chloe gets attacked again. There on some boat right now." Said Cayde as he angrily shoved his phone away.
Azmuth looked over and instead of saying something like control your emotions or any of the crap, Azmuth makes a suggestion instead." When you find him, I recommend transformation sixty six." Azmuth suggested with a slight grin.
Cayde immediately knew which transformation Azmuth was talking about and Loved his idea." Oh I will." Said Cayde as he then taps the belt and his Omni suit appears, After that Omni taps the watch and transforms into XLR8." XLR8!"
"Woah...Cool!" Sabrina was in awe at seeing this all happen.
XLR8 then speeds around in the house a bit before leaving and heading to Marinettes location, though he left something behind near Sabrina before he left.
Sabrina saw this and picked up the paper, it was Caydes portion of the work, all done and written." Wow, he's fast. Oh and what is transformation sixty six?" Sabrina asked, wanting to know more about this mystery transformation.
"Oh that transformation is a rather unique one, it's best to avoid looking at it when he transforms into that form." Said Azmuth as he goes back to working on his latest invention.
XLR8 speeds through Paris, soon reaching a spot near the boat that Marinette was forced to be on by the Evillustator. XLR8 spotted him and saw that he was trying to give a kiss to Marinette who was trying to get away." Not happening creep!" Said XLR8 as he transformed into a different transformation.
This transformation had a bit of a sumo wrestler like figure, being completely white with roundish yellow armor on its body, sharp teeth, and the Omnitrix on his stomach." Cannonbolt!" Cannonbolt curls up and started to spin up, and then speeds off, going flying across the dock and straight for the unaware Evillustator.
(( Ben 10,000 version))
"Just one kiss my love..." said Evillustator as he leans in close to Marinette, who he had handcuffed to the ship.
"Stop! Get away!" Said Marinette, about to kick him in the groin, but then spotted a certain orange and black striped object coming right at Nathan, and this made her smile.
Cannonbolt rammed right into Nathan, and ends up crashing him into a wall, far from the boat. The moment Cannonbolt rammed into Nathan, a key to the cuffs fell right by Marinette and she immediately got to unlocking them. Once free, she runs off to find a place to transform.
While Marinette did that, Cannonbolt uncurled and stared down at Evillustator with anger." How could you do that?! Trying to force yourself onto her!" He was pissed.
The Evillustator groans as he gets up, well tried to. He ends up just falling back down to the ground." Marinette and I belong together! I will have her!" Nathan said, but then gasped when he saw Marinette gone.
While Cannonbolt stood there, Ladybug swings on in and lands right next to Cannonbolt." That girl doesn't belong to You! She's not property!" Said Ladybug, crossing her arms in anger.
Cannonbolt looks over at Ladybug."Ladybug, i think this calls for transformation Sixty six." Said Cannonbolt with a frown as he stared down at Nathan.
Ladybug nodded a bit." I think so too." Ladybug turned around, Knowing what was about to happen.
Cannonbolt transformed into a new transformation. This one had a bit of gross chubby looking body with horns and a cage on its head, hiding its true face." Toepick!" He shouted.
(( Only version))
Evillustator laughed at this." What kind of transformation is that?" Asked Nathan as he stared up at the cage.
Toepick said nothing as he just stared at Nathan's for a moment, but then, the cage hiding Toepicks face opens up, Monstrous and demonic noises could heard.
Nathan screams in fear as the color is drained from him due to the fear he was feeling Literally and figuratively." No!! Get away! Get away from me!" Begged Evillustator as he gets a sudden boost of energy and gets up to run away, only to run right into a wall, knocking himself out. The Evillustator wasn't the only one who saw toepicks face, a certain villain saw it as well and was now curled up in a corner of his tower, with his color drained as well.
Once Nathan was knocked out, Toepick turns back into Omni and Ladybug turns back around and sees the knocked out classmate. After that, Ladybug breaks the pen and releases the akuma, after that she does her whole fix everything and then watched the Butterfly fly away." Another day saved, we should let Catnoir know he can stop babysitting Chloe." Said Ladybug as she started to walk away along side Omni.
Omni nodded a bit, but then decided to ask her something." Are you alright? He didn't do anything to you right?" Asked Omni, worried about his girlfriend's health and state of being.
Ladybug nodded a bit, she was fine." You showed up just in time, I was a little worried I would have to reveal my identity to get out of that situation." she admits, having gotten a bit worried back there.
"Well I'm glad that didn't happen." Said Omni, smiling under his mask as they walk away, leaving the knocked out Nathan on the ground. Another day saved thanks to the hero's of Paris.
———————————————
A few weeks go by and now it's summer time...
Up in space, aboard a certain damaged squid warlord ship, was three individuals, showing off their skills by destroying Vilgaxes robots and drones. The individuals were bounty hunters and Vilgax wanted to hire them. So after the final Titan drone was destroyed, Vilgax appeared on a screen before the three hunters." Excellent. Now then, your target is this human who dares to use my Omnitrix. Find him, kill him, and retrieve the Omnitrix." Ordered Vilgax as a picture of Omni appears, along with a close up picture of the omnitrix itself.
The three bounty hunters nodded a bit as they then walked away, getting ready to head down to Earth to find their target.
Speaking of the target...
The Redgrave family was packing up some supplies and loading the stuff up into a Rv mobile home that once belonged to Cayde grandpa. It was summer Vacation and Lily thought it would be nice to go on a road trip and see the world.
Coming along with them was Marinette and surprisingly Alya." It was nice of you to invite me on this Roadtrip Marinette, though you sure Cayde and his mom are alright with me coming along?" Asked Alya as she and Marinette were both making their way to the Rv with suitcases.
The reason alya was coming with was because her family was gonna be busy almost all summer, so they let her go to join up on the Redgrave family trip." Alya, they already said it was alright so yes I'm sure." Said Marinette with a smile.
The two reached the RV just as Cayde came out his house with his suitcase. He then shuts and locked the door and headed over to the Rv." There you two are, now we can hit the road." Said Cayde with a smile.
So the gang loaded up into the Rv, well alya did first and then Cayde and Marinette have a quick chat." So Azmuth and Adrian will look after Paris while we're gone, well mostly Adrian." Said Cayde. Azmuth will probably just make some device to drain Akumatized victims and have Adrian use it.
Marinette is somewhat relieved that Paris is going to be protected while She and Cayde are gone." I just hope he's able to keep the destruction to a minimum." Said Marinette as she then boards the RV, Cayde joining her.
Once all the teens were on board, Lily drove off." Alright gang, our first stop is an abandoned town with some mines just outside of Paris. There's a rather gory and interesting story about those Mines." Said Lily.
The whole ride out of Paris and to the abandoned town where the mines were, Lily spent explaining the story behind the town and the mines." And it all happened on Valentine's Day too, you could say it was a bloody Valentine." Lily made joke and laughed at it a bit.
The teens awkwardly laughed a bit, the pun was good, though when older people make jokes, sometimes they're just odd for some reason.
So while they were leaving Paris, the bounty hunters were trying to locate Cayde by tracking the Omnitrix, but are unable to do that while it is inactive.
Lucky for them and unlucky for Cayde, that will happen soon.
Once the Rv arrived near the Mines, the teens are the first to get out." Man, this place definitely has that ghost town feeling." Said Cayde as he looked around a bit.
"Well there was that massacre so it makes sense." Said Marinette as she walked alongside Cayde while looking around. Marinette got creepy vibes about this place, which makes sense after having heard what supposedly happened here.
Alya took pictures, something for her family to see whenever she gets back to Paris." I wonder if anything still works here." Said Alya as she walked after Cayde and Marinette.
Cayde grins a bit, having an idea." Well then let's go find out." Said Cayde as he rushed over to a random empty building, the two girls just walk.
Watching this from the RV with a smile was Lily. Lily wasn't interested in checking out the mines, she would much rather read a special book she's been waiting to reads for some time." 'I scowl with frustration..' " Read Lily.
While Lily read her interesting book, the teens were investigating the area, going inside one of the buildings. Inside it looked more like a warehouse, having a bunch of boxed up materials and equipment. Alya opens one of the crates and saw some miner equipment." Cool." She takes a picture.
While Alya was distracted with that, Marinette stuck close to Cayde while they looked around." I wonder if we can find a souvenir around her-" Cayde accidentally trips over a shovel and lands against a tower of crates." Ow."
Marinette was quick to help him up." You alright?" She asked, hoping that nothing got broken or anything bad.
Cayde nodded a bit as he holds his head." Yeah I'm alright, might get a few brui-ohhhhh crap." Cayde noticed that the tower of stacked crates were falling right towards Alya.
Marinette noticed this as well." Alya look out!" Marinette try's to warn her best friend before Alya gets crushed to death.
Alya quickly saw the crates and tried to get away, but ends up tripping over a random pickax and falls to the ground. Alya doesn't have enough time to get back up and get away to safety.
Cayde knew what he had to do in that very moment. Cayde quickly transformed into XLR8, not bothering to shout out his name, XLR8 speeds over to Alya quickly and then scooped her up and speeds back over to Marinette.
The crates crashed down to the ground, breaking. Alya breathed a bit quickly, almost having died can do that to a person, and Finding out your best friend's boyfriend is one of Paris's hero's." Alya...don't freak out, and we will explain everything to you, okay?" Asked Marinette as she waits for Alya to relax a bit.
Alya soon stops breathing so quickly and then looks at Marinette and then at XLR8 as he sets her down." Marinette...Cayde is Omni...How can I not freak out?!" Asked Alya with a smile. She can't believe this is happening.
XLR8 can already feel a huge number of Questions coming." Before you decide to attack me with a thousand questions, how about just one at a time?" Suggests XLR8, remaining in his current form.
Alya nodded and was about to Ask him a question, But then the ground shook slightly as something underground was coming right at them all." Woah!"
XLR8 Quickly grabs both Marinette and Alya and speeds them out of the way just as a robotic crustacean Comes drilling out of the ground." Greetings Humans, the names Kraab, and I've come to collect the bounty on the user of the Omnistrix and the device itself." Kraab squeezes his big single claw at the teens.
XLR8 smirked a bit as his visor comes down." Yeah not happening." XLR8 picked up Mari and Alya and then speeds them over to the RV." Get as far as you all can, I'll catch up in a flash once I deal with crab cake here." XLR8 then vanished in a blur, coming right back into the room.
Kraab fired from his claw, trying to get a direct hit at XLR8,but he was too fast for the robocrab." Hold still you pest!" Yelled Kraab, trying to hit XLR8.
While speeding around and dodging the blasts, XLR8 grabbed a shovel and then runs right behind Kraab and hits him over the head with it really hard.
Kraab stood there for a moment...and then collapsed to the ground, hitting the ground hard.
XLR8 drops the shovel and then speeds out of area, unaware that another bounty hunter watched him. XLR8 noticed that the RV was gone but spotted it rather quickly, So he speeds over and into it, transforming back into Cayde." Crab cake should be out of commission for a while, though I'm not sure how long."
Alya grips onto the passenger chair while Marinettewas sitting in it."Does this happen to you guys all the time?!" Asked Alya with a smile, this was the coolest and scariest moment of her life.
"Everyday, though the bounty hunter is ne-" Marinette got interrupted by the sound of a laser saw cutting into the roof of the RV.
Soon enough the saw stops and then the one who used the saw, tears an opening on the roof of the RV.
Looks like it's another bounty hunter. This bounty hunter goes by the name of Six-Six, though able to talk, it's usually gibberish to those who don't understand the language or don't have universal translators." Oh no you don't! Everyone hold on!" Said Lily as she slams on the brakes, Sending the bounty Hunter flying forward.
Six-Six gets up slowly and rubs his head, but then saw the Rv coming right for him, about to Run him over. Six-six said something as he just stood there, Which translated to 'son of a bitch in human' language.
Lily runs the alien hunter over, Smiling thinking that she took him down, But then the tires popped, which then caused Lily to frown." Oh no." Lily said as she then forced to stop the Rv and Park it.
The gang then quickly rush out of the Rv, Cayde spotting an old mine." Everyone, wait in there, I'll Take care of the other Hunter. Mari, keep them safe." Said Cayde as he turns his attention to Six-six.
So while Mari, Lily, and Alya ran over to the Mines, Kraab came tunneling up next to Six-six, both now recovered, though one of Kraabs eyes were flickering a bit." Six-Six, how about this, we split the bounty, and Split him in two?" Suggests Kraab.
Six-Six nodded about as a bunch of blasters come out of his body, and aims them all at Cayde." Looks like it's hero time!" Said Cayde with a grin as he transformed into a new form.
This form appeared to be made up of Blue diamonds with a purple rock outer coat covering most of the body. There was two big diamond spikes on the back, two small ones on the chest area, and on the forearms." Diamondhead!" Diamondhead shouted.
(( Hero's united version))
Kraab and Six-Six both just look at each other and then just aimed there weapons and fired At diamondhead.
Diamondhead tanks the shots as his hands turn into a bunch of sharp shards and then started to fire shards right at the two, remaining in the spot that he is in. One shard hits the blaster in Kraabs big claw.
Kraabs had an idea, thinking it would help him get the jump on Diamondhead. Kraab gets ready to drill, but the moment is legs touched the ground, sparks flew and soon a loud crunch sound was heard." Ahhh!" Kraab yelled out in pain as he falls to the ground, his legs were a mess.
Six-Six looked and saw that there was a thick layer of diamonds where Kraab was trying to drill." While you dummy's were firing at me, I made wide pillar under Crab cakes here just in case he decided to go under." Said Diamondhead with a smirk as he started to approach the two.
It was all up to Six-Six now and what does he do?...Six-Six uses his jet back to get the fuck out of there.
Diamondhead saw this coming and then just shoots a shard at the jet back, landing a shot and causing it to go haywire. Six-Six ends up flying around the air for a while before crashing down onto Kraab.
The two bounty hunters end up unconscious. Diamondhead then covers the two in diamond, minus their heads." That should hold them long enough till I can think of something better." Said Diamondhead as he started to walk away, but soon stops. Diamondhead felt like he was being watched.
He was right, a third bounty hunter was watching him." You know it's rude to just stare and not introduce yourself!" Diamondhead shouted, trying to get the third hunter to come out.
The hunter remained he was at for a while before stepping away from the RV." Not bad kid. You outwitted them and out powered them." Said the hunter as he approached the omnitrix user.
Diamondhead just stared at the bounty hunter for a bit." So, we gonna fight or are we gonna talk?" He asked, waiting for what the bounty hunter will do.
The bounty hunter stands there for a bit, before his helmet and gloves shift away, revealing that he is the same species as Diamondhead." Names Tetrax Shard." Tetrax said, introducing himself and extending his hand out to Shake Diamondheads hand.
Diamondhead stared at Tetrax hand for a bit before turning back into Cayde and then shakes his hand." Cayde Redgrave." Said Cayde, introducing himself as well. Cayde then turns back to the mine entrance where the girls were watching him from.
"I'm gonna assume it's safe." Said Marinette, walking out with Alya and Lily.
"Yeah. Everything's all good now." Said Cayde, letting them all know that the situation had been dealt and resolved.
Lily puts her hands on her hips as she stared at Tetrax." Why didn't you help out my son earlier? You must have been watching the who time, right?" She asked, scowling slightly at Tetrax.
Tetrax felt Squamish and weak at her scowl. It felt like he was being interrogated or something." I uh wanted to see if Cayde here was able to protect himself and the Omnitrix." Said Tetrax, hoping that's a good enough answer for her.
Lily glares at the diamond alien for a bit before smiling." Oh that's sweet." She said, returning to her happy and calm self.
Tetrax felt like he dodged a bullet. After recovering from that, he pulled out a tool that trapped Kraab and Six-Six in a cube that shrank." I'll return as soon as I can to try and help out with the Vilgax situation." Said Tetrax as he started to walk away, but then stops for a moment before tossing a flat circle object to Cayde.
Cayde stared at the thing in his hand with confusion before looking at Tetrax." Consider it a gift for a job well done. Oh and for me not helping you out." Said Tetrax as he waved them all goodbye before vanishing.
"So what did he give you?" Asked Alya, staring at the device Cayde was given.
Cayde shrugs a bit." I don't know, but that can wait, i got an Rv to Fix." Said Cayde with a smile as he hands the device to Marinette and then popped his knuckles as he walked towards the Rv and then transformed.
The start of there summer vacation has been nuts, and who knows, it might get crazier as it goes on.
