To the people who have been asking for Armadylan (and Ice Cub) in the villains AU your wait is finally over π
Here they aree, the heroic duoβ Armadylan and FrostBear β¨οΈ
In this AU, Armadylan, being new to the city, wanted to be a hero. A good hero. Unfortunately, the Night Time Kids aren't exactly his ideal picture of a hero team. They're honestly more anti-hero than anything. Saving the city because they have to. Of course, that can change as they continue to develop themselves throughout the AU. Though, if I had to pick, Night Ninja is the most heroic between him, Luna, and Capt. Romeo.
Since they're the only real hero team in the city, Armadylan kind of placed them on a pedestal, having high expectations (in terms of heroics) for the Night Time Kids. that ended up with him wanting to be in with the Night Time Kids. They humored him at first but it leads to an eventual rejection.
Left bitter he eventually ran into Gator, they managed to hit off actually. Comparing who's the strongest and having the usual fun rough housing, Armadylan would eventually share his dreams of being a hero. Even though Gator is a villain here, he tries to help him out.
Getting the armadillo-themed hero something to do, Gator asks SuperNova for some ideas but the Star villain took one look at Armadylan and refused. He said that the hero was 'too unpredictable'.
Then that was it. Gator wanted to push back on SuperNova, but didn't. He knows to not to mess with the person who literally holds his power crystal, so he just quietly apologized and went along with Nova. Armadylan was already pretty bitter from the first rejection, this second one made him angry. He impulsively launched an attack on SuperNova, or well- he tries to before getting absolutely bodied.
With that, Armadylan realizes that he doesn't need the help of the Night TIme Kids or anyone really. This city needs an actual hero. And for awhile he believed that he is the only true hero in Tarabiscoville.
After awhile of being a solo hero, he met Ivan during the day. He helped the kid out after bumping into him, became fast friends with each other.
Wanting to be a good friend to Ivan, he started to hunt for something nice to gift him. That's when he overheard one of the other characters (I don't know which one yet) discuss something about a new power source and he thought that it might be a good gift for his new friend.
Commotion happens (tbh I haven't really thought of this part as well lmao) and it happens right outside of Ivans' house. Similar to the episode where he debuted. Ivan leaves his home to check what's all the noise about and it ended with Armadylan tossing this power source gift, be it the Ice Crystal or the Bad Asteroid (though personally I think the bad asteroid doesn't make any sense, it was an asteroid of literal badness but Ivan was just that good ig), towards Ivan.
He uses it to become FrostBear to be a hero and help Armadylan fight off the other villains. From then on, Armadylan and FrostBear have eachother's backs, being the city's heroic duo β¨
