Chapter 5: The North American Box Part 3: I Will Learn
(And the finale for this part of the story! The next one is Hunk's group! Regardless, I did enjoy the characters' interactions in this part. I cannot wait to replay the MegaMan Battle Network game for switch. I love it so much! Dingo, let's destroy stuff again! Enjoy!)
(03/04/2023: So, I added another important detail to this for Dingo and the other MegaMan characters. So, in a way, it is fine that the original story was deleted, because I was able to go back and make this addition. So, please enjoy the new addition!)
(Matt's POV)
Well, that was something. I am grateful they weren't harmed, but I am upset with myself. After Romelle and I went our separate ways, I rushed to help Shanka and Annetta. However, we were quickly overwhelmed by the bikers. Of course, I tried to do everything I can to stop them until they knocked me out. Man, that sucks.
"They know we have the box" Annetta said with worry.
"Our village is in danger" Shanka added, "If that robot has record of our home, he could reveal it to world"
Right, and then there's that. Geez, everything always has to get more complicated, doesn't it?
"So, we just have to get the robot and destroy it, right?" Romelle asked as she pondered on this while feeding Daizzi.
"No, that would be simple" Seliel said as she was sitting on the ground and thinking about this, "We would need to destroy the robot's memory if anything"
"The memory?" Dingo asked curiously.
"Each robot should have a memory slot" Seliel answered in a matter-of-fact tone, "So, if we find the memory, we can force it to delete the info and put in a fake one if we want!"
How did she know that? I mean, I know that, but how did she?
"I take chemistry and robotics" she answered, "It isn't hard, but isn't easy"
I have more respect for her. Dang, Cole's got a nice girlfriend.
"So, we just need to find him!" Romelle exclaimed in relief.
"Right, but we also have one more Miraculous to find" I pointed out to them, "We are missing the Dog Miraculous. So, we have to find it before they do and make sure the box is safe as well"
"But that will be a piece of cake!" Seliel said with confidence as Stompp flew to her side and showed her hand fading, "I've unlocked my elemental power, and Stompp grinned.
"And I have Daizzi!" Romelle exclaimed in delight, "I am sure we can find the Dog Miraculous!"
Romelle hugged Seliel in relief as I gave them a small smile. Yeah, we've got them. They should be able to handle this situation... Man, I really wish I could've done something to help them. I pulled out my phone and checked to see where the location of the last Miraculous could be. I blinked a couple of times at the site of the Miraculous.
"Uh" I said surprised.
"What is it?" Seliel asked as she looked over my shoulder, "Oh! That's our home!"
We're going home already! I thought it would take us a little longer, but alright.
"Should we come too?" Shanka asked as Dingo held the Miracle Box.
"I think that would be best" Seliel said with a nod of her head, "Our Miracle Box is empty except for one. Even so, Morro is out, and Sensei Wu could look after them. I am sure Sensei Wu can even heal Raoul faster!"
"Really?!" Annetta said in relief.
Dang, even the old guy is able to do something to help our friends. Seriously, what can I do to help them?
"I'll get Raoul" Seliel said as she stood up and walked back to the hospital.
She motioned for Shanka to follow her as they left. I kicked a rock as I looked at my phone and checked the location of this Miraculous. Huh, that's near the school... and hospital... I know she's still in a coma and Lotor withdrew to look after her, but I should go on ahead just to be safe.
"Where are you going?" Romelle asked as she eyed me suspiciously.
I jumped as I showed her the location of the last Miraculous.
"I'm just going to head there before everyone and get it. I don't want it to corrupt their minds if it is near them" I informed her, hoping she wouldn't mind it.
"Alright but be careful. Please call us if you need anything" Romelle said seriously.
I gave her a hug and then ran to the school. Of course, I didn't notice Dingo was following me with the box in his hands!
"Dingo!" I shouted annoyed as he shook his head, "What are you doing here?"
"I thought it would be better if I went with you! We have two boxes in one city. It would be dangerous if we keep both in the same location" Dingo pointed out with pride as he held the box.
Well, he's not wrong. It would be dangerous if there two boxes in one location. Though, would it really matter since one is mostly empty than the other? No, it definitely would.
"Fine but stay close!" I said seriously as I climb over the fence.
I held my phone as I scanned for the energy of the Miraculous. Where is it? Dingo was hopping up and down as he tried to climb up the fence. I held my hand out to help him up and sit up on the fence.
"Where is it?" I whispered as Dingo held the box and opened it to take out a Miraculous, "What are you doing?"
"All the Miraculous should have a link to each other, so it should link to one here! Right, Beaver?!" Dingo asked with a grin as he held out the Beaver Miraculous and let it shine.
I have got to hand it to him. That's clever. Why didn't I think of something like that? The Beaver Miraculous was shining and directing us. We followed it until we found some shards of glass on the floor along with a collar on the ground!
"Yes!" I said with a grin as I rushed to pick it up.
The Miraculous shined as a Kwamii appeared from it!
"Why don't we have a spell to retrieve when the coast is clear?" he asked with a yawn before turning to me, "Oh, who are you?"
"I'm Matt! Katie is my little sister. She used Pollen's power to fight" I introduced until his eyes fell onto Dingo and the Miracle box in his arms, "So, who are you?"
"I am Barkk" he introduced as he floated in front of Dingo, "And why is the North American Box here? I thought it was hidden away in a village"
"We ran into a bit of a situation" I said as I rubbed the back of my neck and explained the situation to him.
"Oh wow! Cora's magic is growing stronger" Barkk said impressed, "But we should head back to the tea shop then. I imagine everyone is almost done with finding the other Miraculouse"
I couldn't agree more. We walked back to the tea shop, but Dingo was staring at Barkk the whole time. I wonder what is on his mind.
(Dingo's POV)
It is so cool to see different Kwamiis! I hope I can use one soon! Especially since we have enemies coming. I want to fight! Why can't I fight?!
"Well, that's all the Kwamiis in North America" Matt said in relief as he checked his phone, "The rest are scattered to the other continents, but I am sure my friends will find them. For now, we should head to the tea shop"
I guess so, but that can't be the end of our adventure! I don't think so! We have two Miracle boxes. Something should've happened.
"DINGO!" Matt shouted as he looked at me with a concerned expression, "We should get to someplace safe before anyone discovers we have a Miracle Box"
Ugh, fine! I followed him as he was checking his phone. I didn't bother speaking to him as I looked up to see gray clouds forming. It looks like it will rain. Matt suddenly stopped as he stood in front of me.
"Something wrong?" I asked him curiously.
I heard motorcycles and got it. Matt and I were soon surrounded by them as Matt growled at them.
"How did they even find us?" he wondered as I looked at the box in my hands.
Matt glanced at the box too and answered, "Ah, I get it now. The Miraculous give off power. You simply tracked the power to us. That's annoying. Well, we won't give it to you!"
The leader arrived and looked ready for a fight. Well, I'm ready to fight too!
"Dingo, run" Matt whispered urgently.
"What?! No way!" I snapped back.
"No, you have to run" Matt answered, "They can't get their hands on that Miracle Box. It was supposed to stay hidden from the world"
I knew he was right, but I do not have to like it!
"Dingo! Go!" TomahawkMan urged.
"Fine!" I shouted annoyed, "But I will get you for this!"
I turned the other way as Matt put on the collar. I ran through the busy street just as people were starting to wake up. Great! I can lose them in the crowds!
"Dingo! Wait! You don't know where you're going!" TomahawkMan shouted as I didn't stop.
I can't either! Matt needs my help, so I am going to keep running and finding help!
(Matt's POV)
"I'm your opponent! Barkk, I know you need to choose your partner, but please work with me!" I said determinedly.
"Done!" Barkk said determinedly.
"Then, Barkk, transform me!" I shouted as I raised my hand, and he flew into the collar.
Ok, this rush of power is something different! Is this what Katie feels every time she uses her Miraculous? Well, I can worry about that later.
I waved my hand over my face to make a brown mask appear over my face with a single, red visor over my right eye. Then, I gained a pair of brown, working gloves with little paw prints on it. I gained a belt with all kinds of tools and formed a dog's tail. A pair of tough work boots appeared my feet as I gained tough, brown work pants. A brown shirt appeared on me as two shoulder pads appeared. Then, I held my hand out as a ball appeared in my hands.
"Huh. So, my little sister gets a taser while I get a rubber bouncing ball. Figures" I said annoyed before the bikers turned to me, "Well, let's see what I can do about this"
One jumped me as I ducked and slammed my fist against his back. Dang, this power is something else!
"Slow him down. I'll get the boy" the leader said as I flipped another biker over my shoulder.
"Hey! You're fighting me! Leave him out of this!" I shouted as I ran to him.
I felt someone stomp on my tail and roughly pull me into a ring of bikers! Great, I have to get through these guys before reaching Dingo. Dingo, hang in there. I will save you!
"Fine, you want to go. Let's go!" I said as I punched another one and then threw a ball at another one.
I hope the others can find him before the leader does. I am not sure if I'll be able to make it in time!
(Dingo's POV)
I continued to run as TomahawkMan kept shouting about directions.
"There is no time for that!" I yelled back as people stared at me, "What are you looking at?!"
I continued to run until I crashed into someone. I landed on my butt as I held the box.
"Hey, sorry about that, but please leave me" I said as I looked up and whimpered.
It was the leader! I scooted away and screamed as I took off in another direction! What am I supposed to do now?!
"Dingo! Use me!" TomahawkMan exclaimed, "I can slow him down!"
"Ah, right!" I exclaimed in relief as I took out my PET and pointed to a Jack-In port, "Jack-in, TomahawkMan!"
I sent TomahawkMan into the NET as I smirked. He won't be able to stop my Navi! He's just as strong as Raoul's! TomahawkMan appeared in the NET and swung his tomahawk to knock down a wall of data just as I ran under the stoplights as it fell and crashed onto the leader! I stopped, jumped, and cheered! He's done!
"Oh, my gods, is he ok?" a worried person asked.
He was chasing me through the streets and wearing a suspicious outfit! How is he being treated nicely?!
"Dingo!" TomahawkMan yelled, "Get out of here!"
"Oh, right!" I replied as he returned to his PET and ran the other way.
I continued to run until I heard some of the people screaming. I took a quick glance to see the leader back on his feet! Does nothing stop this guy?!
"TomahawkMan! I need help!" I yelled as I entered a radio tower.
"I know, I know!" TomahawkMan replied as he disappeared and ran through the NET, "Just stay alive and do not do anything reckless! I'll get the others!
"How am I supposed to do that?!" I yelled back as I ran up the stairs as people were stepping away from me.
Why are there so many stairs?! Why?! Wait a minute, I need help! I need to contact my friends! This is a radio tower! I should use that! I held my PET and pulled out a map. Ah ha! I knew it! There is a broadcasting system on the top of the tower! Here I come!
(Seliel's POV)
Well, we arrived at the tea shop and informed Sensei Wu about the situation. He seemed to understand and let him rest in the same room as Morro. I informed him of our situation.
"So, there was one here. Well, I am glad you were able to find all the Miraculous and unlock your powers, Seliel" he said with pride as I grinned.
"It wasn't easy, but we did it" I answered him.
"I do not mean to be rude, but how long will Raoul need to recover?" Shanka asked with concern.
"Not long. He and Morro should be awake soon enough" Sensei Wu reassured her, "But where is your box? I imagine Raoul would've brought it with him"
"Oh, Dingo has it" Annetta reassured him with a wave of her hands as she held her PET, "He went with Matt to find the missing Miraculous. They should be back soon"
Sensei Wu glanced at me as I shrugged. I am sure Matt can handle this. It is just one Miraculous. How much trouble could they get themselves into?
"SHANKA! ANNETTA!" TomahawkMan shouted as he appeared in Annetta's PET, "We've got a problem!"
I thought that too soon.
"What happened?" Shanka asked as she looked at the PET.
"The leader of the group attacked Matt and Dingo. Matt is fighting off most of the grunts, but Dingo is being chased by the leader. He's heading up the radio tower!"
Well, that got out of hand quickly.
"Ok, then we need to divide and conquer" I said as I took control of the situation, "Shanka and Annetta will go after Dingo. I'll go after Matt and find Romelle too. Remember, we have to protect the Miracle Box"
Everyone agreed as they left the tea shop.
I turned to Sensei Wu and asked, "Will you be ok here? And will you be find with looking after Morro and Raoul?"
"I will be fine, Seliel. There is a reason I've lived as long as I have. Thank you for taking charge of the situation" he said with a grin.
"Of course. I'll make sure everything and everyone is safe" I said as I turned to Stompp, "Ready to go?"
"Yes!" he said excitedly as we left the tea shop.
We headed to the school and found Romelle using the Miraculous and fighting off a few of the bikers! I disappeared and then ran towards them. I swiftly knocked a few of the bikers down and punched the others. I reappeared behind Romelle as I obsereved our situation.
"Why are you here? I thought you would want to be with Matt" I asked as I let one punch phase through me.
"He informed me that he could handle himself" Romelle answered as she smacked one biker with the tambourine.
Well, that's fair. Between all of them, Matt does seem to be the one who can handle himself and the situation he is in.
"Well, Princess Piggy, we have to reach him. Dingo's in danger" I informed her as I flipped one biker over my shoulder.
She blinked at the name, laughed, and answered, "Very well! I shall do my very best to assist you, Phantom Ninja! I have an idea!"
She then tapped her tambourine and danced a bit until she shouted, "Present!"
A pink present appeared in her hands as she threw it at the group of bikers. One of them cautiously stepped forward and opened it. The present burst to reveal a large buffet holding many kinds of dishes!
"Dig in! My treat!" Princess Piggy said with glee as the bikers happily ate the food!
"Not bad" I complimented to her, "But let's find Matt"
"Understood!" she replied as we ran to the school.
For once, it wasn't destroyed or about to be. At least he kept the damages to a minimum.
"Matt! Can you hear us?!" I shouted as I looked for him.
"Over here!" he shouted as he punched one biker.
"Coming!" I shouted as Princess Piggy transformed back to herself.
The two of us found him panting and fighting the bikers. Ok, how many bikers are here? This is getting ridiculous! I wonder if I can do something kind of dangerous. Well, something that Cole and his boys would normally do.
"Stompp. I've got an idea. Can I combine my powers with yours?" I asked him.
"You can, but please be careful. If you use too much power, you could lose your mind to power" Stompp informed me.
"Don't worry, I will only be using my powers and yours. Nothing else" I said as I put on the nose ring, "Alright, ghost, Stompp, unify!"
I slammed my hands together and let my powers combine with Stompp's. I wore the hero outfit, and my hair was tied up differently.
"Alright, let's stop them in one swing!" I said as I pulled out the hammer and made myself disappear, "Stay here, Romelle"
I rushed to Matt's side and pulled the hammer behind me. I then appeared behind him as he glanced at me.
"How did you do that?" Matt asked curiously.
"It is my elemental power, but I need you to jump when I say so" I informed him.
"Got it" he answered as he prepared to jump.
I held my hammer and disappeared before everyone and with the hammer in my hands. I raised it above my head as Matt waited. The Bikers were closing in around us as Matt nervously glanced to me.
"Loyal Perro! Jump!" I shouted as I slammed my hammer on the ground to blow back the bikers and knock them out in one hit!
Matt jumped in the air as he exclaimed, "Dang, remind me to never get you mad"
I reappeared and smirked back at him, "Well, there's a reason Cole spars with me when revealed himself as the holder of the Turtle Miraculous. But we have more important things to worry about. We need to get to Dingo. He's in danger"
"What happened? I thought he got away!" Loyal Perro asked surprised.
"The leader chased after him, and he's currently climbing the radio tower" I informed him.
"Got it. Well, what are we waiting for? We have to get the tower!" Loyal Perro said as he rushed on ahead of us.
"Wait, do you even the power of your Miraculous?" I asked as I handed Romelle a cookie to have her feed her Kwamii.
"No, but I don't think that matters now!" Loyal Perro exclaimed.
"I think it might help!" I snapped back as I pondered on the power Matt may have.
"Uh, is it just me or are there less bikers present?" Romelle asked as she fed her Kwamii the cookie.
She's right. Where did they go? Unless they are going to the tower!
"The tower!" I exclaimed as I ran on ahead of them, "They're heading for the tower! They want Dingo and the box!"
We ran through the streets as people were gathering outside of the tower.
"Why are people gathering around the tower?" Romelle asked worriedly.
"I don't know, but we have to get through" Loyal Perro said seriously.
I transformed back to myself as Stompp fell on my shoulder. He was tired, but I still have some strength left. If I am right about ghosts, then I am sure I can do this.
"Everyone stand still and walk forward when I say so" I whispered to them as I placed my hands on their shoulders.
I concentrated on my powers and then turned us invisible!
"Walk forward together" I whispered as we took a step forward.
We continued to walk until the doors automatically opened for us. Once we turned a corner inside the tower, I let go of their shoulders and revealed ourselves!
"Nice one, Seliel!" Loyal Perro said with a grin as I weakly smiled and fell.
"Seliel!" Romelle and Stompp exclaimed as she caught me.
"I'll be fine" I replied as I faced Loyal Perro and let Stompp rest in my hand, "Loyal Perro, you've got to reach Dingo and the Miracle Box. Stompp and Daizzi need to rest, and I've used my new powers too much. I need rest"
Loyal Perro seemed hesitant as Romelle pointed at him and said seriously, "Do not hesitate, Matt! You have a Miraculous and you are a smart, young man. You are also very caring as well. You can do this! We will come and join you when we are ready but hurry up and help Dingo!"
He pulled Romelle into a hug and whispered in relief, "Thank you, Romelle. That's just what I needed to hear. Seliel, I'll take it from here! You rest along with the others!"
He gave Romelle a kiss on her cheek and ran up the stairs. Romelle held her cheek and blushed as I grinned at her. That's cute, but we have to rest. Matt, you better not mess that up.
(Dingo's POV)
Seriously, where are my friends?! What are they doing?! I don't know how long I can keep running for!
"Gaah!" I yelled as I avoided a throwing star and then continued to run up the stairs.
Why does this place have so many stairs?! Why?!
"Give me the box!" the leader shouted as I continued to run.
"Never!" I yelled as I found myself near the roof and standing in a room with a bunch of equipment, "What is this junk?"
I glanced at the cameras and noticed a red light. What is it doing?
"It is recording you!" TomahawkMan shouted as he returned to my PET, "Why did you climb this far?!"
"I was running!" I yelled at him as I took out my PET and faced my Navi, "I had to get away from him!"
I gestured to the crazy leader who was coming towards me!
"Do you have a plan?" I asked with worry as I noticed the leader coming towards me.
"I'll search the NET of this place. Do not run to the roof!" TomahawkMan said seriously as he left into the NET.
As for me, I decided to hide behind a desk and keep quiet. There has to be something I can do to get out of this! What can I even do?! I'm not even allowed to use the Miraculous since I haven't finished my training!
"Thinking about your situation?" the leader asked as I yelped and jumped back from him.
I drew my tomahawk out and prepared to fight him, but he revealed he had no weapons in his hands. What is he doing?
"I only come to speak with you" the leader said simply, "Especially since you have a box filled with Miraculouses"
"Of course, I do! You took out Raoul!" I snapped back at him.
"He was in the way, but he was also a problem himself" the leader pointed out, "All he did was keep the Miraculous hidden when he should've used it. Don't you agree?"
"Well, yeah" I agreed with a nod of my head.
"Don't you want to prove that your tribe is something great?" the leader pointed out.
"Of course, I do!" I snapped at him, "But I can't do that if others are getting hurt! That wouldn't be right!"
The leader glanced at me as I shook my head.
"Well, do you have to use violence?" he suggested.
"What?" I asked confused as I tilted my head to the side.
"You don't have to use violence to get what you want when you can just threaten others who do not agree with you" the leader answered.
I can do that, I guess. Wait, no, what am I thinking?!
"No! I am not doing that!" I yelled at him as I threw my tomahawk at him, "I have to help others! Not threaten them!"
What is wrong with this guy?! Why does he want to hurt others?! It's not right!
"You are willing to forgive those who have wronged you and your tribe for years without a little sense of revenge" the leader said surprised, "That's awfully easy for you. Especially since you hold the power to let that happen. What is stopping you?"
He's not wrong, but I am not doing that!
"Because I've made friends! I've got friends that stand with me through it all! They may not understand this, but that doesn't mean I can do the same harm onto them as our ancestors did to each other!" I shouted as I realized something.
He wants the Miraculous, but we both want the Miraculous to remain hidden from everyone. I've got a crazy idea, but I am sure of it! I rushed to the cameras and hocked up my PET to it.
"Dingo, what are you doing?" TomahawkMan asked seriously.
"What I do best, my crazy idea!" I shouted as I held the PET to reveal the Miracle Box to it.
"What are you doing?" the leader asked seriously.
"If you want the box, then so does everyone else!" I shouted as I placed the box in front of me and used the PET to reveal it to the other screens around the tower, "In one button, I will reveal the Miracle box to everyone! I will not hesitate!"
"You wouldn't?!" the leader said as he glared at me.
"Oh, yeah! Try me!" I yelled as he observed me.
"Dingo, why are you doing this?!" TomahawkMan exclaimed.
"Get ready! On my single!" I ordered him as the leader took a step towards me.
If he takes another step closer, I will start the recording! But I have to be careful with what I say. Otherwise, this might not end well for anyone. The leader then tried to snatch the box, but I lifted the box away from him.
"TomahawkMan! Now!" I shouted as he swung his tomahawk and cut open the airwaves.
Now, all the cameras and recording equipment were activated and focusing on us. I held the box above my head as he stopped.
"HEY! EVERYONE! LOOK AT ME!" I shouted as the leader froze in place.
Hurry up! I don't know how long I can keep this up!
(Matt's POV)
I knew I shouldn't have let Dingo go on his own, but there is no time for that now! Everyone's worked so hard to get this far, so I will not let this go.
"Come on, come on. Where are you Dingo?" I whispered as I ran up the stairs and found the remaining bikers fighting someone.
"Need a paw?" I asked I kicked one and was relieved to see Shanka and Annetta!
Though, Shanka was in her hero form!
"So, how's it going?" I asked them as I stood in front of Annetta.
"Chaotic!" Annetta exclaimed as she looked at the bikers, "Dingo must be on the top floor!"
Wow, he ran really far. That's impressive. Suddenly, the TVs in the station turned on to reveal the scene happening in the top floor. And it wasn't a good one, because Dingo was holding the Miracle Box and facing the leader!
"What is he doing?!" Annetta exclaimed as Shanka and I looked at the screens.
"I will reveal the world this box and its powers!" Dingo shouted with all his might, "So, do not do anything reckless!"
"He really wouldn't, would he?" I asked them.
"It could honestly go either way" Shanka answered.
Great! Now we have to get up there!
"What does your power do? Can it help us get up there?" I asked Shanka who shook her head.
"I liberty beings from their fears and grant them courage. That will not be helpful in this situation" Shanka informed me as she examined me, "But maybe you can get up there"
"I can?" I asked as I pointed at myself.
"If I recall correctly, the Dog Miraculous has a power to retrieve and grab an item. If you find a way to throw the ball and hit the box, I am sure you can reach Dingo" Shanka informed me as I glanced at the rubber ball.
"Are you sure I can do this?" I asked her in disbelief.
"Yes. Besides Raoul and Dingo, I was studying the book about other Miraculouses. I am sure the Dog Miraculous can do this" Shanka informed us.
"Well, we've got nothing else. Let's do this!" I said to them.
We ran pass most of the defeated bikers and climb to the top of the tower. We opened the door to peek to see Dingo holding the box and threatening to reveal it to the world.
"Ready?" Shanka asked seriously.
"Well, I've never done this before, so yes" I answered as I held the ball in my hands, "Fetch!"
I aimed the ball and threw it at the box. Dingo let out a yell as the ball hit the box and I found myself teleported in front of him! I grabbed the ball and smirked at the leader.
"Oh, did I interrupt something?" I asked with a smirk.
"What took you guys so long?!" Dingo exclaimed as I sighed at him.
The leader let out a frustrated yell as I made sure Dingo was behind me and closer to the door to where Shanka and Annetta were.
"So, you didn't do anything reckless, did you?" I asked Dingo.
"Not yet!" Dingo shouted in reply as I laugh.
The leader let out a frustrated yell as I prepared to fight him. He then drew a sword with a red blade and ran towards us!
"Dingo! Get out of here!" I shouted as I held the ball and used it to block the sword, "Wow, this ball is much stronger than I thought"
The leader then kicked my chest as I threw the ball to hit his face. Dingo ran up the stairs and to the roof. Hopefully, he won't be in any more danger or cause it. As I was distracted, the leader punched me! I held my face as I heard something beeping. Oh, great. Running out of time. The leader ran after Dingo as I picked myself and ran after them. I will not let him hurt Dingo. Dingo let out a yell as I found the leader facing Dingo.
"Leave him alone!" I shouted as I rushed to tackle the leader.
However, in one swift motion, I felt my powers vanish as the leader swung the blade to cut my face! I let out a scream as I hugged my face and flinched back. Ok, I can feel blood, but he didn't cut my eyes or any other part of my face. I think he just got my cheek. I suddenly felt someone grab my hair and roughly held me to the ground! I was able to get a glance at him and realize it was the leader! I looked forward and saw a nervous Dingo. Oh, no!
"Dingo! Run!" I shouted until I felt the wind knocked out of me.
Seriously, what the heck is this leader's problem?!
(Dingo's POV)
How could he hurt someone as awesome as Matt?!
"Leave him alone!" I shouted as I reached my hand out to him.
"Really? You think I am going to give him up that easily? Either you give me the box, or your friend will perish right here and now!" he threatened.
He wouldn't actually hurt Matt, would he? I looked at Matt's face to see his cheek with blood. Matt...
"Do you want your friend to suffer like you and your tribe?" the leader snarled at me, "To mocked, picked on, and punished for events beyond his control. Would you want him to suffer through your mistakes?'
"Hang on! Dingo has nothing to do with the past! The past is the past, but we can do something about the future together!" Matt shouted as he struggled to gain control over himself, "And I know Dingo wouldn't want anyone to get hurt. We won't make the same mistakes of the past! But we will stop you!"
The leader then shoved Matt to the ground as I shouted his name with worry. Wait a minute, I can do something to stop him and save Matt. I'm still holding the box! Well, I've only seen Raoul reading the spell once. How hard can this really be?!
"O' Miraculous, hear my words, grant my wish" I spoke as they looked at me, "Use your powers and stop this foe who wishes harm onto others!"
(3rd's POV)
Dingo jumped as the box began to unleash a tremendous amount of power from the Miraculouses inside it. The leader threw Matt to the ground and decided to retreat, but the power burst from the box and sought the leader out! The leader jumped from the tower and landed on the ground as it chased him! Romelle helped Seliel walk up the stairs as they saw the leader jump along with a powerful energy sphere chasing him.
"What was that?" Romelle asked as the two Kwamiis looked at it.
"Someone must've cast a spell using the Miraculous in the box! It is not going to stop until it reaches the target!" Stompp exclaimed.
"We better get up there" Seliel said as she and Romelle began to run up the stairs.
They reunited with a tired Shanka, Liiri, and Annetta. They were trying to get to the roof, but the doors were broken.
"Are you kidding me?!" Seliel exclaimed as she and the others had no choice but to wait for the boys to open the doors.
Matt looked over the edge and saw the energy sphere chasing the leader. He was surprised Dingo knew a spell, but he also didn't expect this kind of result. He followed the sphere until it crashed into the leader and broke him into pieces!
"Dang... Definitely don't want to mess with a guardian, that's for sure" Matt whispered as he sat back in relief, "But it was just as Seliel said, he was a robot. Well, we got him! Dingo, we did it!"
He turned around and saw a worried and frightened Dingo who was clutching the North American Box close to his chest as a whirlwind of magical energy surrounded them! Barkk looked from Matt's jacket's pocket to see the scared little North American boy holding the box.
"It appears that he doesn't have full control of the box. The power is unstable, because he is overwhelmed with his emotions" Barkk explained to Matt.
Matt understood as he faced Dingo who was trying to contain this power. He was really trying to help his friends and defeat those terrible people who was trying to manipulate him and take their box. Matt shook his head. He needed to be there for Dingo. He needed to be an older brother and friend to him as he walked to his friend's aid.
"Dingo" Matt said gently as he held out his hands to him, "I understand what you were trying to do. You were just looking out for those who needed your help. As a result, you were carrying all of that burden by yourself"
Shanka, Liiri, and Annetta looked at Matt with a confused, worried, and anxious expressions as they listened to Matt. Romelle, Mullo, Seliel, and Stompp were able to calm down once they heard him speaking.
"What is he doing?" Annetta asked confused as Romelle held her hands in delight.
"He's doing what he does best. Listening and being there for those who need his help" Romelle answered with a smile on her face.
Matt then gently placed his hands on the North American Box as Dingo looked bewildered. Matt closed his eyes.
"I cannot understand what you are going through" Matt admitted, "To have others hate you for your history and appearance in the past and how others still carry that to this day. I didn't grow up with that nor had to find a way to deal with it. I had friends who only judged me based on personality and character. I'm so sorry about this"
He didn't change his grip on the box and advised, "But you should not have jumped to violence nor be alone with that feeling either, Dingo. Violence doesn't solve anything. It only brings more violence and suffering. Being alone doesn't help either, because you need others to listen to you and help you go through your pain. I know you don't want to bring that to others either. You want a world where all of us can live together. That's a beautiful dream to work for. But you can't do it alone. You have to do this with a smile, a joke here and there, and a helping hand. That is the whole reason I am here. I am helping our friends, so let's help everyone together, Dingo"
They closed their eyes with the magical whirlwind still flowing around them! Dingo looked panicked as Matt shook his head.
"We can do this" Matt reassured him as they slowly lifted the box up, "Please calm down. Everything is fine. You can return home"
"Please, I don't feel upset. I understand what I need to do now" Dingo spoke softly as the whirlwind ceased and the magic slowly returned to the box.
The animals of the North America Box burst from their magic whirlwind as it slowly returned to it. Everyone watched in awe as the box was restored and the magic was rightfully returned to it. Then, with a loud clap, the magic was safely back in the box. Matt and Dingo fell back, exhausted but relieved. They had stopped the magical whirlwind from harming anyone, but they also had to find a way to explain this to the people watching this.
"Dingo/Matt!" Shanka and Romelle shouted from the door as both boys picked themselves and ran to the door.
They opened it and were relieved to see their friends again, safe and mostly unharmed. So, they returned to the tea shop to rest and recover. Of course, they weren't alone when they arrived. Raoul had recovered and was watching the news and Matt's parents arrived. Matt's parents rushed to help their friends as Raoul faced Dingo, Annetta, and Shanka.
"I'll be taking the box back" he said as he took it from Dingo, "And Dingo, you did protect the box, but you almost revealed the power of it too. You are not going to be using the powers of the Miraculous for another year"
Dingo let out a frustrated yell as Shanka and Annetta laughed at his expression while TomahawkMan sighed in defeat.
"And we found the last Miraculous" Matt said as he showed the collar and Barkk to Sensei Wu, "So, we found all of the Kwamiis on our end"
Barkk happily hugged Sensei Wu as he sighed in relief.
"Although you were reckless, you were able to find the missing Miraculousess. I am grateful we were able to do that" Sensei Wu said, "But I am not sure how we are going to explain this to the people. I don't want to move my family"
"Oh, don't worry, Sensei Wu" Seliel said as Matt's father was checking her arm, "I've got it all under control. I told my dad everything. He'll make sure to cover it up and reclaim the robot, so Matt, Katie, Zane, and Pixal can look at it when they get back"
She then turned to their new friends and answered, "And I'll make sure your history isn't lot, but I'll also make sure your village is safe along with your Miracle Box"
"Thank you, Seliel, Romelle, Matt, Stompp, Daizzi, and Barkk" Raoul said as he faced them, "And if you ever need our help, you need only ask. We will gladly help you with anything that comes your way"
"Whether it is Miraculous trouble!" Annetta said excitedly.
"Or Net Battle troubles!" Dingo added confidently.
"But for now, just stay here and rest. You don't need to go back so soon. Just take your time" Seliel offered to them.
And so, Raoul's group stayed at the tea shop until they were ready. They group departed from the tea shop as they waved goodbye to their new friends.
"Well, we finished our job. Now, we have to wait for the others" Matt said with a grin.
"I wonder how they others are faring. Do you think they are doing well?" Romelle asked with an excited expression.
"Knowing them, they are in some kind of trouble and danger that they'll get themselves out of it" Seliel said with a wave of her hand as she and her friends went back to the tea shop to wait for their friends to return with their new powers, friends, and stories.
As Dingo's group left, he looked up and grinned at the bright, new day ahead. However, he let out a surprised yell when a bright light shined before him! He stumbled until he fell on the ground.
"Dingo, watch yourself!" TomahawkMan said as he extended his hand out to him.
"TomahawkMan! What are you doing here?!" Dingo shouted in disbelief and excitement before taking his hand to be picked up, "And where are we?!"
Before Tomahawk Man could explain, an orange Navi appeared before them. Dingo let out a surprised yell as TomahawkMan looked up at her.
"Do not be afraid" she spoke in a gentle tone, "For I am a Navi who is searching for those who bear the crest that has appeared on your hand. You must seek out others who have this and reunite with them to save our world"
"Really?!" Dingo asked excitedly while TomahawkMan asked, "What is going on?"
"All shall be relieved when you arrive at Nihon" the Navi spoke before disappearing.
Dingo blinked a couple of times as Shanka and Annetta were giving him strange looks. Dingo cheered loudly when he found the crest on his hand. He couldn't wait for his next adventure!
"Don't worry about him" Raoul said warmly as he glanced at his PET to see a message from ThunderMan, "Ah! We've got a call! We have to help ProtoMan with his operator!"
He realized something as he turned to his friends with an expecting look. He saw all three staring at each other with worries and concern. He grinned before leaning in front of them.
"Hey, everything is going to be ok" Raoul reassured them with a smile, "Sure, we are going our separate ways, but we will always be there for each other, right? So, cheer up and go forward without hesitation! Now, come here!"
He pulled all three into a warm embrace as they laughed in delight. ThunderMan and TomahawkMan shared a nod and firm handshake. Raoul opened the Miracle Box to give Dingo, Shanka, and Annetta a Miraculous, just in case they needed to defend themselves.
"I'll keep an eye out for Dingo" Shanka said with a grin as she patted Dingo's shoulder.
"And I've got Raoul's back!" Annetta cheered warmly with her hand raised.
Raoul was proud of them as they returned to the village first to make sure the Miracle Box was safe before departing for their next adventures.
