Alright, I'm back with more. This is going to be the Pharaoh because I want to have Peregrine in Prime Queen, and it won't make much since if he hasn't obtained a prescence already. So-
Chloe: Obviously, JDunks doesn't own Miraculous!
...I'm using my trinket. Jelii, Reach Out!
Chloe: Is that an Octopus Miraculous?!
Jellyfish Miraculous, actually. I'll give you five seconds.
...
Will groaned as he made his way to his new school. "I revealed myself to Ladybug and Cat Noir."
"Yes."
"I gave them the ability to contact me whenever they please."
"Yes."
"Spiir, is it possible to die from stupidity?"
"Nope. Although, it looks like your earlier fears were unfounded. No one seems to have recognized you."
It was quickly realized Spiir had jinxed them, as a girl with short blue hair ran up to them. "Oh my gosh, are you-"
"Yes, I'm the famous child actor William Guerre, tell all your friends, do nothing on social media to announce my prescence."
Mireille grinned and dashed back to the school. Ohmigosh I just met a famous actor! Everyone's got to hear this!
...
Will stepped into the office. "Monsieur Damocles?"
The portly, owl-looking man nodded to him. "What do you need, Mr. Guerre?"
Guess being famous does have its perks. "I was wondering which class I was in."
"Ah, of course. You'll be in Caline Bustier's class-" he pulled out a map of the school "-in this room."
Will nodded. "Alright. Thank you."
He exited easily. "Now I just have to hope nobody recognizes me."
...
He was recognized. Why oh why did he have to be famous?
He'd entered the classroom, hoping for normal treatment, only to see he'd gotten there early, and the inhabitants of the room, a boy in a green polo and a redhead in a grey blazer, both gaped at him like fish out of water. Wordlessly, he slid to the back of the classroom.
More students came in as time ticked on (he hardly noticed them, as he was engrossed in Dragons: Titan Uprising), and although he heard various gasps of shock, he was thankfully left alone.
Until the lemon girl walked in.
He wasn't saying it as an insult. The girl was bright, eye-scorching yellow, and was snobbishly chatting with a girl in a sweater vest and glasses behind her. She looked towards the back of the room and gasped. "Oh my goodness!"
She was in front of him before he could blink. "Hi, Will! I'm Chloé Bourgeois. My daddy's the mayor.".
"Good for you. I couldn't care less."
Silence. He closed his game and looked up to see the entire classroom looking at him in shock. Chloe didn't loose her smile, although it faltered for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I must have misheard you. Anyways, daddy owns this really big, fancy hotel, I'd love for you to accompany me to lunch-"
"And I still don't care. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have games I want to play before class starts."
He didn't show any facial expression besides disdain, but was inwardly cackling at the apoplectic fit Chloé was having.
"How DARE you! I'll have you know my daddy is the mayor, and-"
"What, he'll increase my family's taxes? Pull funding from the school? Banish us from Paris? I'm twice as rich as you'll ever be, I doubt he'll pull funds from the only school in Paris that can stand you, and he doesn't have the power to banish people from Paris. Newsflash, lemon girl- we don't all get what we want when we want it."
She was gaping now, and weakly protested, "But he's the mayor..."
"And what happens when he isn't the mayor? Or something happens and he looses his hotel and all his money? You certainly won't be able to go around saying, 'I'm the mayor's daughter, do what I want' anymore. All people will hear is, oh I'm a spoiled brat who doesn't know the definition of no, and I'm going to hurl pointless threats at you until you kick me out. You wanna know what that'll get you? Zero, zip zilch, nada, goose egg. So get out of my face, or trust me, when you aren't the mayor's daughter anymore, you are going to suffer. And I will enjoy every minute of it."
She glared. "Oh, and what power do you have over me?"
He smirked and whispered something in her ear. She paled and walked away.
The entire class stared at him for a moment, then started to applaud. Even the teacher joined in.
He smiled, bowed, and resumed his seat.
The boy in front of him turned around. "What did you whisper?"
"An alarmingly detailed threat, involving revenge and horrible treatment."
The bell rang, and discussion ceased. Madame Bustier smiled and stepped forwards. "Alright class, today we'll learn-"
The classroom door slid open and a girl with dark blue pigtails ran into the room. "I'm sorry, madame!"
The teacher stared for a moment, then chuckled and shook her head. "Seven seconds after the bell rang. New record, Marinette."
Will stared at this Marinette for a moment, noticed she had blue eyes and freckles, looked again at her pigtails, and thought, Okay, that's totally Ladybug.
Madame Bustier smiled again. "Now, I'd like our new student to introduce himself. Will?"
The boy stood, cracked his knuckles, and walked down to the front of the room. "Hello. Yes, I'm the famous child actor, no I am not another Chloe, yes blogger girl, you may interview me later."
With that said, he walked back to his seat, leaving the class unanimously thinking, how did he know Alya was a blogger?
...
It was lunch period, and after an incident with Chloe which may have involved a few swear words, Will walked down into the courtyard in the center of school, and was swarmed by his classmates. "Alright, everyone except the blogger girl lay off. I promised her an interview."
Meanwhile, Mireille was grinning at Aurore Beauréal. "See, I told you!"
Aurore smiled. "Yes, you did. You think he'll recognize you?"
"I hope so. Honestly, I was considering inviting him to sit with us for lunch tomorrow-"
Mireille was interrupted rather rudely when a beam of light struck her and she turned into a mummy.
Aurore screamed, alerting the courtyard as the Pharaoh stomped in, before he blasted her as well, and the two new mummies joined an already amassed army, marching in to seize the students.
Will grabbed Alya tightly by the wrist and dragged her towards the stairs, stopping once they got to the top. "Okay, get to one of the bathrooms and lock yourself in a stall. Make absolutely no movement or sound that would indicate your presence. Go!"
Alya, foo stunned to argue, ran for it. Will, meanwhile, darted out of sight into an empty classroom.
Spiir zipped out of his pocket, blinking urgently. "What are you gonna do?"
Will took a few short breaths, looking around for another solution than the obvious, any other solution. He came up with nothing. "Well, I can't think of any other options, so... I guess I'm going to fight that villain. I might at least be able to hold him off long enough for Ladybug or Cat Noir to get here.
Spiir nodded. "Alright. Good luck!"
"I'm gonna need it. Oh, and Spiir?"
"Yeah?"
"Talons Out!"
...
Pharaoh was just about to blast Juleka with his mummy-rays when something smashed into his head. Through the resulting haze of pain, he saw something reddish-brown grab the girl and carry her to the second floor of the school.
The moment he got a good look, he let out a roar of fury. "HORUS! You DARE take on a new host?! I AM THE PHARAOH!"
The boy, in a bodysuit with feathers of the same colour and bronze wings, shot him a dirty look. "Hey, who're you calling Horus?"
"You!"
"Yeah, I'm not hosting Horus- although I only understand what you mean because of Kane Chronicles. The name's Peregrine, by the way."
The Pharaoh examined the boy's suit. "Peregrine?"
"Yes, I'm aware I look more like a kestrel, but Peregrine sounded cooler. Now, if you'll kindly stand still, I'm going to knock you unconscious."
The falcon hero was lunging before the akumatized man could blink. A long sword was unsheathed and the flat of the blade was aimed straight for Pharaoh's face.
"Thoth, give me time!"
Pharaoh's face promptly became that of a baboon, and a bubble engulfed Peregrine, slowing him to a crawl even as he yelled angrily, "Thoth isn't even a time god! Seriously, dude?"
It sounded funnier in slow motion.
Peregrine quickly worked out he was slowed when Pharaoh and his minions moved a lot faster than they should have. He stood still for a moment. "Alright, everything in this bubble is slower, and the bubble travels with my actual body, but what if something isn't in the bubble..."
He launched five full volleys of razor feathers. In the bubble, they moved slowly, but the moment they penetrated the bubble...
Pharaoh yelled as bronze feather streaked through the air, barely appearing to move as they struck the wall of the school. He glared at Peregrine even as his mummies fell to the ground with feathers embedded in their heads or various organs. "What's it gonna take to take that bird down?!"
More feathers burst out, three embedding themselves in his arm. He let out a scream of pain, then called out, "Sekhmet, give me your strength!"
He charged forwards, but the bubble suddenly popped and Peregrine met his charge with a roar of "Warrior's Might!"
The two clashed, at first Pharaoh overpowering Peregrine's 2% powered punch, until the hero poured another 5% of his strength into his punch, slowly pushing the Pharaoh back, and with a trolling smirk, Peregrine slammed his other fist, channeling 7% of his power, straight into the villain's stomach.
Pharaoh choked, then glared. "Seize him!"
The mummies charged, and Peregrine prepared himself to fight them off, and Ladybug's yo-yo swept in and knocked the mummified army off their feet. "Thanks for holding them!"
Peregrine shrugged. "You want me to take 'em?"
Ladybug frowned. "Take the mummies. Show me what you can do."
With a wicked grin, Peregrine spread his wings and shot into the air, then folded them and rocketed back down, slamming 30% of his strength into the ground. A shockwave blasted the mummies off their feet, and with a quick spin, any that were still standing fell to the ground with feathers in their brains.
Cat Noir, just arriving, gasped in horror. "You killed them?!"
Ladybug clapped a hand to her mouth, but Peregrine just looked surprised. "Why the shock? It's not like it's permanent."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Peregrine was outright astonished now. "You didn't know Miraculous Ladybug reverses death?"
There was silence for a moment.
"...I'm gonna finish beating this guy up."
Peregrine lunged again, directing 22 percent of his strength to each fist. Pharaoh charged to meet him, still with a lion face, and foolishly attempted to catch his fists.
It was like trying to stop wrecking balls in motion. The Pharaoh's arms were knocked aside, and with a quick adjustment, Peregrine's fists carried on into the man's skull. There was a harsh crack, and Pharaoh fell, quite unconscious.
Ladybug blinked in amazement. "Okay, that was impressive." She looked at Peregrine. "Please tell me he's still alive."
"I'm not sure. How 'bout you do the Miraculous Ladybug so I don't have to find out?"
Ladybug lashed out with her yo-yo and smashed Pharaoh's pendant, before whipping around and catching the akuma that escaped, releasing a white butterfly a moment later.
"Now, Lucky Charm!"
A swirl of red and black collected into a stuffed animal that fell into Ladybug's hand. "What is this?"
"Oh it's a Light Fury from HTTYD 3! Never thought I'd see one that was red and spotted.
Both heroes looked at him. "What? I'm not allowed to talk about franchises I like?"
"Miraculous Ladybug!"
The pink ladybugs exploded from the Light Fury and whirled down, wrapping around the mummies and presumably healed them and demummified them (Peregrine swore that the ones sticking his feathers back on his wings were giving him dirty looks) before taking them to where they had been before the attack had started.
Dark smoke rolled over the Pharaoh, leaving a very confused Jalil Kubdel. "What the... why am I here?"
Peregrine walked over and deadpanned, "Hawk Moth took advantage of your freedom to feel upset to force you to turn into a monster and rampage through Paris. Can I offer you a ride to... where were you before you got akumatized?"
Jalil nobly attempted to conceal his amusement at Peregrine's description of akumatization. "At the Louvre."
"Alright. Grab my hand and hold onto your glasses."
Jalil obeyed, then gasped as the heroes spread his large wings. "W-wait! This is safe, right?"
"I've never dropped anyone, I assure you."
And with that, Peregrine was gone, towing a screaming Jalil, who let out a final yell of, "This is awesome but I'm too scared to appreciate it!"
Ladybug sighed and pulled out her yo-yo to leave a message on the bird's... probably his sword. "Meet us on the Eiffel Tower tonight at 7:00 PM."
Both heroes exchanged goodbyes and left.
...
Peregrine swooped into the empty classroom and detransformed, slipping towards class. Alya greeted him. "Where were you? We were worried!"
Will rubbed the back of his neck. "Bathroom stall, like what I told you. Barely saw any evidence that there was actually an attack." Then it hit him. "Oh man, we never finished that interview!"
Alya pulled out her phone. "Finish it now?"
"Why not?"
Madame Bustier coughed. "Now, we are still in class..."
When the two turned around, they saw her smiling. "But math is boring, so just this once, I'll allow you to have this interview in class."
Alya beamed widely. "Can I post this on the Ladyblog?"
Will shrugged. "I've been looking to get out news of my prescence in some discreet way, but if the Ladyblog is as popular as I've heard, it'll probably be the faster method."
Alya at once set up her phone, grinning wildly.
5 minutes later...
"Alright, that's all, folks! I know it's not Ladybug or Cat Noir, but it is still pretty cool to have a famous actor on the Ladyblog, right?"
Will spoke up. "And if you have questions, Alya will find me quite available, so feel free to direct some to me."
Alya grinned even wider at this. "And that's a wrap!" She stopped recording. "You'd seriously let people ask you questions?"
He shrugged. "No reason not to. Besides, people are naturally curious."
He looked over. "We've already got some questions. Hogwarts house. Favorite HTTYD dragon. Best friend- oh, that's from Zack. Ignore it. Opinion on Ladybug and Cat Noir. Favorite Pokemon game."
He looked closer at one of them, bewildered. "For the sake of my dignity, I'm not going to answer that."
Alya chuckled. "You're actually interested in all those things?"
"Wait till you see my library. We've moved to Paris and it took 7 crates to transport my books."
"...no way"
Will smirked. "So, can you tell me any more about these heroes?"
...
Peregrine let out a loud screech as he soared over Paris, aiming for the tower already holding two teens in animal suits. He landed with a giddy grin, which at once dropped into a neutral expression. Ladybug frowned. "What was that for?"
"Flying's fun, landing isn't."
She shrugged. "Alright, we wanted to ask you some questions. Where'd you get your Miraculous?"
"My grandmother."
"So your grandmother wielded a Miraculous?"
"No."
"Where'd your grandmother get the Miraculous?"
"It's part of a set that my family has guarded for generations. I'm the first in nearly a century to wield the Falcon, however."
"What other Miraculouses are there?"
"I don't know about all of them. Let's see... there's the Lion Miraculous which grants the power of calamity-"
Cat Noir cut in. "I thought I had the power of destruction!"
"Calamity, not destruction. I haven't seen you make giant flaming explosions. What else... Crocodile Miraculous, Kite Miraculous, Ibis Miraculous, Scorpion Miraculous, Vulture Miraculous, Jackal Miraculous. I don't know what they all do. Grandma's teaching me."
Ladybug frowned. "Alright. Next... why'd you kill all those people?"
"Miraculous Ladybug reverses death, as I've told you. However, I understand you may have an aversion to death, so I'll try to just incapitate from now on."
The heroes both sighed in relief. Peregrine's sword beeped suddenly. "Ah, that's my grandmother. If you'll excuse me?"
Ladybug smiled and waved. "Go on."
Peregrine stepped up to the railing and spread his arms dramatically. "Enjoy your evenings, Ladybug and Cat Noir."
He fell, then spread his wings and took off, spiralling into the clouds and out of sight.
...
Peregrine swooped down to his balcony and detransformed, sliding the door open and stepping in. Spiir happily zipped over to a bowl of sunflower seeds.
Will's grandmother stood up gracefully from the chair beside Will's bookshelf. "So, how'd it go?"
"Went fine. I'll try to make my appearance more public at the next akuma attack."
The old woman smirked. "Next attack. This is coming from the guy who didn't want to be a hero?"
Will sighed. "I thought it over. If I hadn't been there, Pharaoh probably would have mummified a lot more people. This city needs all the heroes it can get, that's obvious."
She grinned. "You liked it."
"Can't you torment Liia instead?"
"She's dormant."
Will groaned. "Fine. Go ahead, start making fun at my expense."
...
Not much I want to say here. If you have any questions, review!
