Creaping through the bushes, Stalker poked his vulpine snout out just far enough to get a close look. After his transformation, he quickly discovered his powers: Shapeshifting. He held the power to change form between creatures of the night, and even between, but that would be with the corrupted Akuma. The pure one only granted him shifting along the vulpine species, foxes. Fight now, he had transformed into a typical red fox as he scoped out the area. He say a young girl, likely about 10 or so, and destroyed trees in the park he's tracked her to. a very faint white mask glowed, and a tired-sounding Nooroo spoke. "Akuma... in bear..." Drake looked at the teddy in question, pure white except for the beady black eyes. "Power... vocal in origen..." was all he heard as the mask faded as Nooroo fell asleap. Nooroo could eat any food, but also required sleep in order to recover his energy. Knowing that now untill Ladybug and Cat Noir showed up, he was on his own, he observed. He couldnt win a head-on combat, as his powers were more skewed towards stealth. Watching the Akuma, he sliped closer, he saw her shriek as another tree tumbled. Acting quickly and useing the noice, he sliped into a bush along her path of rampage and shifted back to human form. He watched her aproach closer, but the bear was on the other side. Could he toss a rock or something to...
"Now, your yowling could wake the dead." a familiar voice said, as the Akuma turned around. While he was unable to see the feline hero, he knew from the voice that it belonged to Cat Noir. The girl let out a screach forcing the cat to dash away. "It's not FAIRRR!" she screached, the ground being torn up. Without wasting his chance, with the bear mere inches away, he reached out and snatched it, immediatly dropping onto vulpine paws again, the bear in his jaws as he darted away from the girl, who's attention immediatly snapped to the bushes he zig zaged between.
"Teddy!" she screamed, his ears folding at the pitch and he immediately snapped back to human form, and threw himself to the side as the bushes disintigrates under her screach as he tumbled into the open, his ears ringing. Clutching the bear close, he scramples to his feet, as he tries something new. His profile shifts as he clutches the bear in his hands, as he changes his legs in order to move faster, a bushy tail helping to balance him, but nothing else changing, especially the ears. He hears a few shouts from the heroes, but doesnt turn, knowing the Akuma will be on his tail, literally now that he actually has one. He hears her chasing after him, but the sounds grow fainter. Even with superpowers, a 10-year-old had no chance to catch up with his natural speed compounded with his enhanced speed from his partially changed form. Thinking to what abilities the Akuma itself possessed, he knew doubling back to Ladybug would be risky. However, there was another way. When he transormed, he felt like something was whispering to him, which was quite odd, as it wasnt a vocal thing, it was hard to describe, like he felt the whisper to his core, but there was no sound. The feeling, he duduced, was the Akuma telling him what it could do. His guess would be that was why Akumatized Victims just knew what they could do. The whisper feeling had informed him of an ability Akumas possessed that wouldn't be beneficial to Hawkmoth, and an ability that was lost when the Akuma was corrupted. But right now, one of the first things was what he needed, but he also needed to hide for it. Finding a spot, he looked at the bear, and manifesting claws, tore it to shreads. Seeing the Akuma, he snatched it in his hand. "There, there, Little Akuma." he whispered, as a Pure White butterfly emerged from his watch. "Share your Burden!" he said, as his Akuma fluttered into his hand. Looking in, he was the darkness seem to seap from one to the other, but then start to slowly dull. Opening his hand, the two fluttered away, a trail of corruption behind them as the evil, now split between two vessels, started to naturally dissipte. However, as they flutter away, White bubbles suround him, as he returns to normal. Hearing the voices of Ladybug and Cat Noir, confused as to what just happened, and then the call of "Miraculous Ladybug!" He sliped off in the opposite direction, walking back to his house, eyes heavy from this busy day.
Drake opened his eyes slowly, almost expecting his brother to be there, but then remembered the last night's events. Sitting up, he looked at the calender. Not that much longer untill summer was over... his brother would never officially go to Lyc e, and he sat for a moment in silence, looking at his watch. Had what had happened last night haveactually happened, or had it just been some kind of fever dream... However that thought was quickly dispeled as a White Butterfly landed on his shoulder, and a white mask shone. "Good morning, Drake. I dont have much time, but I thought I should check in on you."
"Nooroo? So... it was all true? I actually... actually clensed an Akuma? I... I was a hero?"
"Yes, when you rejected Hawkmoth's Akuma, you shook him enough so I managed to break through and assign that Akuma to you, to be used as all Akuma should: to help people. Master keeps tight control on me, and the rules of the Miraculouses are so I can't give their identity away, even by hints. However, that doesnt mean I agree with what he does."
"Well... now what?" Drake looked out the window.
"Now? Ladybug and Cat Noir do regular patrols at night. If Master doesnt send an Akuma before then, you should go introduce yourself."
"And if one does?"
"Help them, of course. And you need to train with your powers. An Akuma passes knowledge of what to do, but practice and training can help you learn more. I must go now, Drake. Stay safe." he said, and the mask vanished. Drake looked out of the window, and then to the Akuma on his shoulder.
"Well... guess it's time to train, and be ready... Gift of Nooroo!"
