Eagle Eye beamed brightly alongside his new partners, Ladybug and Chat Noir as the press swarmed the scene asking them about how they did it and other wildfire questions about where he came from. His miraculous beeped and he felt the pin. The miraculous was orange and had two little white round wings popping out of the side. There was a yellow beak and a little silver arrow out on the top. He had lost the two wings and the arrow. The only two things left were the beak and the orange color. If he neglected his two minutes remaining, he'd revert back into Michael Larounge and he'd be sunk. "Uh, I've got to go. I'll see you all later. Love you!" He waved to the cameras and shouted "WINGS!" The jetpack on his vest whirred to life, an orange haze appearing out of the bottom and two large eagle wings protruded from the back. The jetpack roared as he took off of the ground and soared in direction of François-Dupont High School. As he neared, he began thinking about how dramatically his life changed that morning.
Michael woke up that morning just as tired as he was when he woke up. The alarm whined in his ear and he immediately reached over and silenced it. He groggily rose from his bed and sat back down on it, burying his head in his hands. Forcing himself out of bed, he could taste the morning breath in his mouth and groaned. "Repulsive." He groaned. He trudged into his bathroom and began brushing his teeth. He stared at the reflection that had its gaze fixed on him. He did a little shimmy and then waved to the fake crowd in front of him before spitting into the sink. He washed his face and dried it off with a towel. He picked out a jacket, a blue shirt, and threw on some khakis and a pair of sneakers. He also skipped his contacts and wore his glasses and put a beanie on, too. He left his apartment with a banana and bought a coffee on his way to school.
Math was boring.
Art was okay, considering he got to try drawing Chat Noir and Ladybug again.
History was boring.
By lunchtime, there was an akuma attack. His name was Statue Vivante and she was apparently an aspiring sculptor and worked three years on hers and spent thousands of dollars to have it made. She went to the Louvre and was denied to have it entered as a real sculpture. She was devastated and this villain named Hawk Moth can create villains and gave her the power to turn people into actual statues that looked like they belonged in the Louvre. Michael went to his favorite restaurant for lunch and was watching a Breaking News report that Ladybug and Chat Noir were failing and that they needed the help of their healer that gave them their powers. Michael again tried to draw them but failed. He needed to be closer, to see their features upfront and then be able to figure out the secret to their anatomy.
On his way back to the school, he saw an old man with a cane and wispy beard cry out for assistance. His cat (which ironically was black) wasn't coming down from a tree and he didn't know how to get it down. Michael watched as everyone passed him, and ignored the fact that he would be late. He told the man to hold his coffee and took off his belt. He wrapped it around the tree trunk and used it to help him climb up the tree, grab the cat, and jump back down which hurt the bottom of his feet. But it was worth it. "Thank you, young man. Here, allow me to repay you." He said. "Oh, no thank you. It's no big deal."
"No, please. I insist. And open it as soon as possible. Your help is required." Michael blinked for a second and the man vanished and a simple box was left in his place. It was a beautiful box, lined with red fiber and was carved from wood. Michael tried look for the man, turning in all directions, but the man truly vanished and he was left with the box. He opened it and inside was a dark grey pin. "Oh wow. How great." He was about to close it, but a incandescent light flooded from it in the shape of a ball. "OH MY GOD!" He cried out. He dropped the box and covered his mouth. He ran away into an alley and brought the box in with him. A small figure emerged from the light that diminished. "Okay, before you say anything, we don't have a lot of time. I'm Kwazii, your kwami. I grant powers, yours is the power of sound and sight. Your sight is enhanced like an eagle's when you transform and when you use your super power, sonic screech, your vocal chords are too, and you destroy everything in your path. Put this pin on and say the words, 'Kwazii, take flight!' That will transform you into your superhero form. When you use your super power, you'll have only five minutes to stop the akuma before you return to normal, Michael, and you don't want that. And lastly, once you do, I need food to recharge. I prefer popcorn. Now pin this to your beanie and say the words!"
Michael was dumbfounded but followed the little things instructions. "KWAZII, TAKE FLIGHT!" Immediately, Kwazii flew into the pin. In a bright orange flash, he was transformed into a superhero like he was told by the now within the pin. His hair was now exposed because his beanie disappeared and it was two different colors, orange and black. He had a mask on and his eyes were bright, glowing orange, due to his enhanced sight. The mask didn't cover his nose but it was completely orange except for the line running across the top and the part that dipped down on his nose to indicate a beak.
He had a vest on with an attached jet pack that was humming and when ordered, a bow and different arrows would escape based off of what was needed at the moment. His suit was all orange except for his gloves and boots which were black but the fingers on the gloves were orange and the soles of the booths were orange and a black belt with a single orange buckle in the center wrapped around his waist. Michael was confused on what to do, but went along with it anyway. Then, the words of the old man he had helped flashed into his mind. Your help is required. Then he thought of ladybug and Chat Noir, failing at saving the city. "I have to help them! But how do I get there? Jetpack. Right. Uh, Kwazii, how do I fly? Right, he entered the pin, he can't talk. Um...flight? It's soaring time? Wings?" Suddenly, two large wings extended from the back of the jetpack and were squished against the wall of the alley and the jetpack whirred to life and he took off into the air, zig zagging due to the scrunched up wings. He finally got the hang of it and floated in mid air, wondering where Ladybug and Chat Noir were. "What was it Kwazii said? I had heightened eyesight? Eagle eyes!" He shouted." The glowing of his eyes got brighter as he concentrated on where Ladybug and Chat Noir. It was as if he was flying through the city and past cars and in between buildings when his eyes landed on the heroes avoiding blasts and running from the villain. "Got it!" he shouted. The glow dimmed and he could finally see normally, and blasted in the direction of the Louvre where Statue Vivante was attempting vengeance.
"Ladybug, running isn't getting us anywhere! Don't you think we ought to be a bit boulder?" He joked running from the blasts. "I know, Chat, but we need to distract her long enough so we can find out how to get that chisel from her!" Suddenly a blast got Ladybug's leg and bad her fall to the ground. She was stuck in place and the statue parts were spreading fast. Summoning all of her strength, she jumped to her feet to find the chisel pointed at her. "Your destiny is set in stone, Ladybug!" A purple butterfly outline appeared on her face. "Take her miraculous first! THE EARRING!" Hawk Moth shouted. "And you can't do anything about it!" She reacher for Ladybug's ear, but was stopped abruptly when an arrow pierced through it, knocking it to the ground and out of Statue Vivante's hands. "Woah! I did that! I did that! I can't believe it!" Michael shouted.
The heroes and villain faced him. "Who are you?" Statue Vivante yelled accusingly, pointing a finger at him. "I'm...er...Eagle Eye! Yeah, that sounds like a superhero name! I'm Eagle Eye and I'm here to assist Ladybug and Chat Noir!" He swooped down and kicked Statue Vivante next to her chisel. "Don't worry. Your old man guy sent me here to help!" He told her. "Master Fu? Good. I was hoping you weren't another akuma. Chat Noir and you go distract her while I use Lucky Charm to stop her before I become all stone! Go!"
"Come on, Chat Noir!" Eagle Eye cried running for Statue Vivante, his wings disappearing. The hero ran after him and extended his staff at Statue Vivante to prevent her from picking up her chisel. Eagle Eye took off into the sky and nosedived back at her, making her jump to the side while he grabbed her chisel. "No!" She cried. "What do I do with it?" Eagle Eye asked. "Give it to me!" Chat Noir cried. "CATACLYSM!" He summoned. A purple glow engulfed his hand and nodded to Eagle Eye who chucked it at Chat Noir. Statue Vivante kicked him in his stomach and caught the chisel herself and blasted Chat Noir. He turned to stone, but his hand remained glowing. "NO!" Ladybug cried. Statue Vivante turned her chisel on Ladybug. "NO!" Eagle Eye cried.
"LUCKY CHARM!" She threw her yo-yo into the air and out popped a red biscuit with black polka dots. Statue Vivante blasted Ladybug and it turned her to stone before she could catch it. The biscuit fell into her stone arms and sat there motionless. "And now, you're next!" Statue Vivante cried at Eagle Eye turning it on him. Eagle Eye scanned his surroundings scrutinizing every detail to see what the biscuit could be used for. He spotted a dog park nearby and a concessions stand next to it selling biscuits. He also noticed a bulldozer on a construction site and the worker leaving it with the keys inside. The final thing he noticed was the parade of dogs at the park and it all clicked into place. "SONIC SCREECH!" He cried. He screeched like an eagle and it knocked the wind out of Statue Vivante, dropping her to the ground and her chisel next to Ladybug who was a while away. He swooped down and grabbed the biscuit and dropped it in the bulldozer.
Statue Vivante was still dazed but was slowly crawling to the chisel. Eagle Eye then took out a bomb arrow and launched it at the concessions stand. He swooped down again and brought the worker there to shelter and then collected all the biscuits into the bulldozer. He started the ignition and put on a helmet. "Safety first." He knocked on his helmet and put the vehicle in drive. Despite being close to the chisel, Statue Vivante was shocked to discover a pile of biscuits on top of her. Eagle Eye rose into the air and whistled. "GO GET A TREAT!" He shouted at the dogs and pointed to the buried villain that was still reaching for the chisel. The mountain of dogs broke through the barrier and piled on top of her, rendering her unable to move. Eagle Eye landed next to the happily snacking dogs and retracted his wings and weapon. He picked up the chisel and noticed the reverse lever on it. He switched it and then blasted Ladybug returning her to normal.
"What? What happened? I-Eagle Eye?" She asked. "I stopped Statue Vivante! Return everything to normal like you always do! Oh, and here's the magic biscuit that you summoned. I don't know what you do with it, but I don't think it's good for dogs." Ladybug smiled and said, "I think it's safe to welcome you to the team, Eagle Eye." She took the biscuit and the chisel and broke the chisel, the akuma fluttering out of it. She opened her yo-yo. "No more evildoing for you, little akuma." She got in her stance and launched her yo-yo at the akuma, capturing it. "GOTCHA!" After it had purified, she released it back into the wild. "Bye bye, little butterfly. MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" She threw the biscuit into the air and it transformed into the swarm of ladybugs that circled the pile of dogs and dog biscuits and placed them where they needed to be. They mended the city and the doggie concession stand and placed the bulldozer back in its spot.
Last but not least, they turned Chat Noir into a human again and vanished, just like Master Fu. "Hey, I'm free of being hammered down!" He joked. A glob of purple reverted Statue Vivante to her normal state, leaving her confused. "Pound it!" The three said in unison, fist bumping each other. Hawk Moth yelled within his lair. "Curse you Ladybug, Chat noir, and your new eagle friend! But remember this all of you, you kill two birds with one stone and you're all birds; especially you Eagle Eye."
The beeping came in for two of them, but Chat Noir was still yet to use his power. "I guess I'll just…" He touched a piece of mulch and it disintegrated.
Eagle Eye landed in the school and he transformed back into Michael behind a vending machine. He caught Kwazii mid fall and bought him a bag of popcorn. "Just so you know, I'm not quiet when I eat, so get used to it." He told him. "Let me guess, you're sassy, too." He said, shoving him into his beanie. "How'd you guess?"
