Hello Miraculers! This is my first actual fanfiction to be posted under the Miraculous category (I've written some unpublished stories, and deleted published stories on the old Nick Message Boards. *sigh*) Anyways, this is actually a spin-off of my Big Hero Miraculous series, so if you like Big Hero 6 I'd appreciate it if you check out my crossover series, and I hope you enjoy it. So far, there are three full-length stories, a series of one-shots that takes place after the first story, and a stand alone story about my OC's difficult childhood. She won't be in this story, but her name is Avery Bourgeois, and she's Chloe's twin. However, this story will feature a character created by my friend crystal ladybug/Marinette Loud, named Wendy Bickerman. So, please note that this story does spoil BHM just a little bit, so if you are planning on checking it out, read that first. This story is designed to stay as separate as possible from BHM, but it still exists in the same universe. So, I guess I'll end my little blurb here so you can meet Paris's newest heroes!
It is one week until the start of a new school year at College Francoise Dupont. The students are all preparing for the new year.
Marinette: (packing her bag) Ok, I think that's everything.
Tikki: Aren't you forgetting something?
Marinette: Oh mys gosh, I need to find out if Adrien's in my class! How could I forget!?
Tikki: Actually, I was talking about your notebook.
Marinette: Oh. (packs) Ha ha, I guess that's pretty important too.
Adrien: And...all packed! (closes bag) It's so weird that we're going back to school, I'm gonna miss summer.
Nino: Me too, dude. Too bad we aren't in the same class. Hey, you should check with Marinette!
Adrien: I don't know, Nino.
Nino: Come on, bro, we both know you want to! You can deny it all you want.
Chloe: Sabrina, that outfit's hideous, I refuse to be seen with you wearing that. If daddy pulled some strings so we could get the same class, at least make it worth while.
Sabrina: I think it's so great how we're always together!
Chloe: Yeah, yeah, no need to get sentimental. Now, I need your opinion on these shoes. Which pair looks better with my outfit? I love both of them, I just can't choose!
Lila: (pacing her bedroom floor, talking to herself) Come on, Lila. You can do this. You can't go back to Lila the Freak. People WILL like you, they WILL accept you. Even if I have to stretch the truth. *sigh* I just wish people liked the real me. But I guess life just doesn't work that way.
Rose: I can't wait to start the new year! I have a feeling it's gonna be great!
Juleka: Glad you're happy. I wish I weren't so shy, then maybe I would actually enjoy school.
Rose: Maybe you should talk to Nath, I think you two would be good friends.
Juleka: Me? Talk to a boy? Are you kidding?
Rose: No, Juleka, I'm serious! I think if you just gave it a try, you could meet a whole bunch of new friends, it's easy!
Juleka: Maybe for you, but I'm just the quiet goth girl who usually goes unnoticed. Part of me wants to change that, but I don't want to leave my comfort zone. I'm already teased even when I don't speak. It's better for me to stay confined inside myself.
Rose: You have nothing to worry about. This is going to be a good year, I'm sure of it.
Nathaniel: (sitting on his bed, to himself) Do I really have to go back there? The last thing I need is to be locked in a room with a bunch of obnoxious kids, with only my drawings to keep me sane. (picks up homemade comic, smiling) If only Ladybug and Cat Noir were in school with me. It would be amazing, and they'd be my best friends. And then I could join them, as Super Nathan!
Wendy is sitting alone on her flight to Paris. Her family is moving there from Los Angeles due to her father having to work there.
Wendy: I just can't believe this is happening.
Yumii: You don't seem excited.
Wendy: I mean, I guess it's cool that we get to go to Paris, but I'll really miss my old school and friends. I mean, Ivy's the only one who know's our secret.
Yumii: And we have to keep it that way. No one else can find out that you're Ailuro.
Wendy: (whispering) Quiet, we're in public, and my parents are only a few seats away.
Yumii: Oh, right, good point.
Wendy: I know I shouldn't tell other people I'm a superhero, but I can't hide forever. (stares out the window)
Rose and Juleka are taking a walk around the streets of Paris.
Rose: So, did you hear that Prince Ali is planning on visiting Paris again this winter?
Juleka: Really? That's so cool!
Rose: I know! I'm so excited! I wonder if he remembers me.
Juleka: What is with the traffic today?
Rose: I don't know, I don't think I've ever seen so many cars at once.
Juleka: Hey, look over there. See that man?
Rose: Yes, why is he crossing the street?
Juleka: And why did the light just turn green?
Rose: And why are those people driving right towards him!?
Juleka and Rose run into the street and push Master Fu onto the sidewalk just in time and help him out.
Rose: Are you ok, sir? Sorry about the rough landing, we just panicked.
Master Fu: It is alright, it takes more than a fall to keep me down. Thank you, girls.
Juleka: Well, we just did what anyone would do, it's really no big deal.
Master Fu: I'm not so sure about that, it takes true heroes to willingly put themselves on the line for a person they don't even know.
Rose: Heroes? Maybe that's stretching it a little far. I'd say we're more along the lines of kindhearted citizens.
Juleka: Yeah, I don't what we did is exactly heroic. Close, but still, we were just being good people.
Master Fu: Either way, it was very impressive. (walks away)
Juleka: Now that you think about it, we did save that man's life. But I just don't picture us as heroes.
Rose: I know what you mean. We're only high school students, and it was all just a first instinct kind of thing.
Juleka: Most people would do the same thing.
Wayzz: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Master Fu: Yep.
Wayzz: Master, this might not be the best idea. The people of Paris may not accept the girls because of Hawk Moth and Volpina.
Master Fu: I'm sure they'll be fine. Those two are impossible not to like.
Rose walks into her room and finds a box on her dresser.
Rose: Where did this come from?
Juleka enters her house.
Juleka: Mom? Dad? I guess they're not home. (sits down at the kitchen table, sees the box) What's this?
Rose and Juleka open the boxes, and a bright light shines out of both of them. They look away, and out of the light, Nooroo and Jinxx appear.
Rose: Huh!?
Nooroo: Hi Rose!
Rose: How do you know my name!? Who and what are you!? What's going on!?
Nooroo: I know this is all pretty confusing. Let me explain. My name is Nooroo, and I'm a Kwami. (pointing to the brooch in the box) And this is your Miraculous.
Rose: A Miraculous? Like the ones Ladybug and Cat Noir have?
Nooroo: Yep! Rose Lavillant, you have been chosen to become the next Hawk Moth!
Rose: What!? No, this must be some mistake! I'm not evil!
Nooroo: No, Gabriel Agreste chose to be evil. And you have the choice too. Hero or villain, it's all up to you. (shudders)
Rose: What's wrong?
Nooroo: Gabriel enslaved me when he last had the Moth Miraculous. I had to stay imprisoned inside that cramped brooch all the time, whether he was actually using it or not.
Rose: Well, I would never do that.
Nooroo: I sure hope so. You're reminding me of Patricia already.
Rose: Who's Patricia?
Nooroo: That's a story for another time.
Rose: Ok, I guess I should put it on, then. (puts on the Moth Miraculous)
Nooroo: Ok, there are a few simple rules now that you have accepted your destiny. First, never take the brooch off. Second, to activate your super power, say Tenshi. Basically, your Tenshi power can turn butterflies into tenshi, and they can unlock the hero in normal citizens, and grant them with special powers so they can help you in battle. Third, to transform, all you have to say is Dark Wings.
Rose: Ok, should I do it now?
Nooroo: Uh, maybe later. I haven't been free in so long, you understand, don't you?
Rose: Of course!
Juleka: Whoa! A necklace with a flying fox in it! Cool!
Jinxx: Yeah, I guess I'm pretty cool. So, Juleka, right? I'm Jinxx, I'm your Kwami, I grant you special powers, blah blah blah.
Juleka: Sweet! (puts on the necklace) So, how do I use these powers?
Jinxx: I'll tell you later, I need a nap. Where's your room?
Juleka: It's just upstairs, you'll know you're in the right place once you see my decorative skulls.
Jinxx: (nervously) Uh, skulls?
Juleka: Relax, they're fake. And I don't have animal skulls. Only human.
Jinxx: You're a strange girl. (flies upstairs)
Juleka: (looking at her necklace) Is this...a Miraculous? No, it couldn't be, could it? This looks like the one Volpina had. I don't think I'm cut out to be a hero, and there's no way I'm going to destroy buildings and drop people off the Eiffel Tower, maybe this is a mistake.
That night.
Nooroo: Ok, now, what's your power?
Rose: Tenshi-the ability to turn normal civilians into superheroes who can help me in battle.
Juleka: What's my power again?
Jinxx: Hypno Song. Your weapon is this flute thingy and when you say "Hypno Song" while transformed, any song you play on your flute will mesmerize everyone around you.
Nooroo: Your weapon is...
Rose: A scepter, which can extend to any length and has a built in phone and tracking device so I can keep in touch with other heroes.
Jinxx: Oh, and before I forget, your flute also has a phone and tracking device in it, so you always know where other heroes are.
Juleka: Will I have a partner? Like how Ladybug and Cat Noir have each other?
Jinxx: Yep, she has the Moth Miraculous.
Rose: My partner has the Fox Miraculous, and she has the power to hypnotize enemies.
Nooroo: Very impressive, Rose! You have a great memory! Ok, one last thing, how do you transform?
Rose: Easy! Nooroo, Dark Wings! (transforms)
Jinxx: In order to transform, you need to say a special phrase. Now, once you're transformed I won't be able to guide you through this anymore, so make sure you remember everything.
Juleka: What do I have to say?
Jinxx: Ears Up.
Juleka: Ok. (takes a deep breath) Jinxx, Ears Up! (transforms)
Butterfly: Whoa, this is crazy! (opens window) My parents are downstairs, but, I really don't want to do this! (looks down) I don't know about all of this. (looks at scepter) How does this thing even work? (holds out the window and presses the button, it extends, she slides down it) That was kinda fun! Ok, where is that fox? (her scepter folds back to its original length, she turns on the tracking device) It says my partner is coming this way. Wow, she's really moving fast! But, I don't see her anywhere.
A really long orange flute continuously extends in the air. The wind knocks it over, and it lands at Butterfly's feet, vertically in the air. Volpina slides down the flute really fast, and lands on top of Butterfly, the flute folds back up.
Volpina: Sorry about that. You must be my new partner. Hi, I guess I'm Volpina. Not to be confused with the villain.
Butterfly: I guess that makes me Hawk Moth, but I really don't like that name. How about Butterfly?
Volpina: I like it! Where are Ladybug and Cat Noir?
Butterfly: They must be busy.
Roger: Freeze! Both of you!
Butterfly: I'm sorry, what did we do? (starts to walk towards them, the police force pull out their guns, Volpina pulls her back)
Volpina: (to Butterfly) This must be serious. Let's see what they want. (to the police) Is there a problem?
Roger: Of course there's a problem, Volpina! Ladybug considers you a dangerous threat, and you too, Hawk Moth!
Butterfly: Uh, actually, it's Butterfly, and I'm a girl.
Roger: Whatever! As far as I'm concerned, you're both under arrest!
Volpina: You'll have to catch us first! (grabs Butterfly's hand, runs) Come on!
Butterfly: What are you thinking? If we run, they'll have even more of a reason to take us in!
Volpina: I'm sorry, did you WANT me to leave you rotting in a cell!?
Butterfly: This is no time for arguments! Keep going! We can't stop now!
Bullets fire past them.
Volpina: Oh come on! They're shooting at us!? What did we even do!?
Butterfly: Look! Up ahead! Behind that building!
They slip behind a building and watch the police run past.
Butterfly: Whew! We made it!
Volpina: Quiet. We can't stay here long, they'll find us.
Butterfly: We need Ladybug and Cat Noir to set those cops straight so they leave us alone.
Volpina: You saw how they reacted, Ladybug hates Hawk Moth and Volpina. If she'll ever trust us, it'll take a miracle.
Butterfly: But we're miraculous now, we can do anything. I know we can. It might not seem like it now, but I'm sure, some day we'll be great heroes. It just needs a little time.
And...there we go! I'll be back soon! Up next: a battle between Butterfly, Volpina, and the police force, tension between Chloe and Sabrina, Wendy arrives in Paris, and more! See you next time! It might be a while, though, since school is insane. I mean, I'm better adjusted to it now, but it's still crazy hard. My history teacher kinda scares me, he insists on verbal teaching, even though many of my classmates including myself are visual learners, and if we can't keep up with him, that's "our faults." I don't care if it's honors, we're nowhere near college yet. I don't need this, I leave school every day feeling like I lost more intelligence than I gained. Literally, if it weren't for my adorable crush, I'd consider going back to my old school. I miss my best friends, we basically lived in a bubble of geek energy that separated us from the rest of the world, and it was awesome! And now I'm on the outside, in a place filled with a bunch of people who are way smarter than me and no one even knows my name, and they barely even notice that I exist. At least at my old school people knew me. Sure, they treated me like garbage, but they acknowledged me. I get to see my friends for 30 seconds in the morning every day, then I have to go to my school. Sometimes those short 30 seconds with them is worse than never seeing them, because all in all, the more I know they care about me, the more I miss them. I hated my old school, but in a weird way, it wasn't all bad. Just mostly. Through all the hard times, at least we had each other. Now I'm alone. I swear, if things don't work out with me and "Adrien" (that's my code name for the boy) I'm done.
