Hello! This is technically my second fan fiction, but my first one is from a long time ago so I am trying to get a fresh start. I hope you like it if you read it. My idea was basically a rewrite of Heroes Day. This story with definitely have LadyNoir, probably Adrienette and Ladrien, maybe MariChat. It also includes slight redemption for Lila and Cloe. The main points of view will be Arden/Chat Noir, Marinette/Ladybug, and Lila/Volpina. I will try to update at least once a week and notify you guys if I can't. Thanks for reading.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Miraculous: Ladybug and Chat Noir.
Volpina POV
(Heroes' Day)
A lone figure crouched at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Their long brown hair turning to a lighter shade as it fell down their back. Her body from the neck down was covered in an orange suit with white on the chest and the insides of the legs. Black boots came up to her knees and black gloves to her elbows. A white tipped orange scarf was wrapped around her waist and hung to the ground like a tail. Two orange ears with white and black insides stood up straight on top of her head, only occasionally twitching towards sounds from the people below her. Olive green eyes peered out from beneath an orange mask with a black trim. Tucked into a strap on their back, an orange instrument with silver highlights flashed in the sunlight. To finish it off, a shining fox tail curled in on itself hung on a chain around her neck.
This person was the civilian turned supervillain, Volpina, and she was currently in a bad mood. Hawkmoth had come to her over an hour ago and told her to generate a plan using illusions. What could be sooo important that I have to wait to put my plan in motion? Does he think it took me this long to think? I've had my plan since I first became Volpina.
So here she was, in her best thinking spot, the top of the Eiffel Towel, watching a parade travel through the city below her. The upgraded sight of a fox allowed her to take in the shapes of people of all different shapes and sizes jumping up and down in excitement.
What I wouldn't give to have a replica of myself down there, having all the people cheering and gushing over me. That should be me! All five of those 'Heroes' are useless compared to me! I can make anything!
Snapping her head up, a purple outline appeared over her face. Standing up, she accepted the connection to her master and his image appeared in front of her vision. His voice filled her ears as she prepared herself to tell Hawkmoth why he should let her attack as soon as possible. She wouldn't continue waiting!
"Volpina, now is the time to strike, as most people are watching the news at this time. I expect perfection".
Volpina nodded her head, knowing that he could see her as well. This was the best scenario she had thought of. He was giving her permission to put her plan in motion.
"Yes, Hawkmoth," she responded as she unclipped her flute and flipped it into her left hand.
A harsh breeze blew through her dark, brown hair, whipping it around a pale face. Burning, olive green eyes took in the sight of the shaped balloons below her. The five balloons bounced along the Parisian horizon, towering over everything. Everything except for herself that was.
Her eyes traveled over the green, yellow, black and orange superheroes to the one in front of the pack. Her worst enemy, Ladybug, reassuringly floated over cheering crowds.
She may look confident now, but she won't when I am done today. They will burn that balloon! Everyone will see that she is just a no one, a person who destroys dreams and looks for danger. Andries will see that she is not worthy of his attention! Then maybe he will love me.
Twirling her flute between her fingers, Volpina thoughtfully narrowed her eyes. Her assignment was simple, create an illusion of the heroes being defeated that would be believable and create chaos in the people.
Recalling her own defeat by the heroes in this exact spot before, an idea formed in her mind. The heroes had to work together to beat her, and without Ladybug by his side, Chat Noir was useless. If the two fought, Volpina was sure Ladybug would win.
After imagining the scene she wanted to appear in her mind, Volpina raised her orange and silver flute to her darker shaded lips and played it, making her imagination a reality. Swiftly pointing her weapon at the symbol of her enemy, Volpina brought the flute back to her mouth as believable copies of the hero and heroine of Paris formed on the balloon's back and began to fight.
After exchanging a few blows, the evil Ladybug threw Chat Noir onto a different balloon where he flipped to break his fall. Volpina's tune rose and fell along with the scene below her. She played low and drawn out as they taunted each other and high and fast paced as they flipped through the air.
The haunting melody rose and fell as the figures below put on a show to match. Volpina took the instrument away from her lips and whispered words that were repeated by Chat Noir far below her.
"Move out of the way everyone! She has been Akumatized!" Chat Noir screamed to the crowd. The brave citizens scattered as their 'heroes' fought for the fate of their city.
Volpina smiled as she brought the flute back to her lips and Ladybug launched herself at Chat Noir.
This is true power. I could do whatever I wanted and no one would ever be able to stop me! Just look at the effect my puppets had on Paris!
Both of the dark figures, one with red spots and one with green eyes, raced along the length of the balloons, testing each other's limits. Akumatized Ladybug swinging her yo-yo around as Chat Noir skipped around her.
Occasionally, Volpina would raise the instrument from her lips and whisper words as the two traded words along with fists.
Volpina was lost in her song, swaying back and forth in time with the beat. Closing her eyes, she could still see the fight in her mind's eye, the super-duo moving as she wished them to.
As she reached the end of the song, both the animal-like-teens leapt into the air, crashing and causing Chat Noir to fall to the ground. Calling up his final move, Cataclysm, Chat Noir reached towards a spotted yo-yo.
When Volpina ended her song and opened her eyes, there was only one person. A spotted black fist was triumphantly held up into the air as the remaining citizens crumpled to the ground, crying for their lost protectors. Black dust of unknown properties was scattered across the upturned shield of the green hero's balloon.
Starting up another short song, Akumatized Ladybug, after triumphantly flashing Chat Noir's ring at the cameras, kept into the sky and swung away with her red spotted weapon.
Continuing the steady beat until she was sure the news helicopters had lost the illusion, Volpina ended her song. That was too easy! No one noticed me or the fact that the ashes of Chat Noir are gone by now.
Flashing a malicious grin, Volpina dropped her weapon and put it into its strap by her waist. She felt no remorse about causing so much devastation and killing off Chat Noir and making Ladybug akumatized.
They might have defeated me before, but today was definitely a loss for them. Ladybug, wherever you are, I hope that when you see this you realize how making enemies with me was a horrible choice.
Volpina's mask was covered by a purple outline of a butterfly, startling her out of her thoughts.
In his sickly sweet voice, Hawkmoth proclaimed, "Dear Volpina, you've performed your role well for the time being. We will meet again very soon."
One of Volpina's ears twitched in anticipation. A praise and a promise the help her get more revenge sometime in the near future. Ladybug stands no chance against us if we continue to work together like this!
"I'll be waiting Hawkmoth." She replied coolly. Giving into the calming sensation, Volpina felt the black butterfly release it's hold from her mind. A cloud of black and purple smoke swirled around her as the last of her burning anger and her orange suit disappeared, transforming into a dark grey romper with light grey tights and a red jacket. Lila repressed the sudden urge to through back her head and laugh at the world and watched as her magical butterfly flew away, shedding black magic as it transformed into a pure white butterfly. Slowly blinking her duller, but no less intense eyes, Lila took in her new surroundings.
This is going to be a long walk home.
Whoo! 1614 words! So was it good….bad….meh? Please tell me by either reviewing, PMing, Following or Favoriting! Sorry if my writing is bad, I am just starting high school so I am not an amazing writer. I don't know if I should continue this but I have so many ideas for how to add to it! The next chapter is when most of the changes start.
See you next time! ~ Streak
