So now we're onto chapter 3, and this is where things are gonna get a little confusing. If you remember the first chapter where Master Fu gave Yuko two boxes, she met Rosse. Well this chapter we get to meet the other Kwami, but it's not a second costume for her to use. That would be too overpowered for an OC (I have limits on what I do here, okay). Still, Two chapters in a day is a good thing for me!
I just figured a Kwami other than her current one should appear giving advice on the side. But this Kwami will be more used when I work on season 2 of this series (After I've watched season two... Once it freaking comes out! They keep pushing back the date!), and it's not gonna be Yuko who uses it.
And seriously you guys, don't be afraid to review or give an opinion on this, good or bad. I may have been writing stories for 3 years on here, but I'm only human. I can't think of ideas in a blink. So if you have an opinion or a recommendation/advice on an idea for this story, just review or PM me.
Okay enough ranting, Let's get onto the next chapter. I don't own Miraculous, only my OCs.
Chapter 3: Origins, part 3
"Finally. I didn't think I would've been able to get away from Alya after half an hour. Thank goodness she understood."
Yuko sighed with relief as she slipped into her room. After explaining the situation to her mother at the school (Minus her new powers and her stopping the akuma), the teen had ran straight into her room and locked the door. "It's safe to come out Rosse. We're in my room now." Yuko stated as she sat on her bed.
Rosse quickly appeared, carrying the other box master Fu had given her in her arms. "Thank goodness we're safe here. I'm sure you got a lot of questions for me."
"A lot. I'm really confused as to how it all happened so fast." The teen admitted as Rosse handed her the other box. "When I called out your name and say Soar high, I transformed into crimson butterfly, that part I understand. As well as the part where I assist Ladybug and Cat Noir to stop the akuma. But what exactly are my powers? All I did was use my fan to glide and stir up winds, but I didn't exactly use my special ability."
"Your powers are the power to change things. You can do this once per transformation actually. All you have to do is hold something, activate the special ability, and concentrate on what you want the object in your hand to be. This can be handy if you need an item to help the team. But it can only work on items in real life."
"And once I use it, do I have only five minutes till I transform back?" Yuko asked, and Rosse nodded, "Alright, I think I understand this a bit more. That explains why I didn't transform back while talking to Alya. But why did Master Fu gave me two boxes though, if I only need you Rosse?"
"Master Fu figured that in case of questions needed to be answered, and if he wasn't around, Slypph could answer them for you."
"Slypph?"
"The Owl Miraculous. He learned a lot when he was the miraculous for a warrior in ancient Greece. We call him the Miraculous of Wisdom." Rosse paused as Yuko looked at the box. "He's a little lazy, but he is an owl. Not very active in the day and all that."
"I see." Yuko stated as she opened the box, closing her eyes to avoid the flash of light to come. When it faded, a light blue figure with sharp purple eyes and little white wings appeared in front of her and Rosse.
"I didn't think I would be introduced so soon to you, lady Yuko." the little blue owl admitted as he yawned and waved to Yuko, before looking around the room, "Got any seeds? any type are fine, I'm not very picky when it comes to food."
"Um..."
"Oh thank goodness you found some! I haven't exactly been awakened lately other than today. It's been about 150 years since my seal was broken! These are good seeds by the way."
Both Yuko and Rosse sweatdropped as they watched Slypph munch on the seeds. "It's nice to see you again Slypph. I see your appetite is still there after all these years." the butterfly kwami pointed out, the owl smiling lazily at the other.
"For both seeds and knowledge as usual Rosse. I haven't been doing nothing for 150 years in there my friend. I can hear everything after all, even inside a box."
"Okay..." Yuko paused as she handed the butterfly kwami a macaron, "So you know why I opened the box, right?"
"Yep. You wanted to know about your powers. Basically Rosse explained it all in a good way. You can transform any 1 item per transformation as Crimson Butterfly, as long as it's a real item. The ability is called metamorphosis."
"Like how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly?" Yuko asked.
"Correct. And like you've figured out, after using it, you detransform after activating it within five minutes. Using our abilities are risky if you don't know how the opponent works."
"That is true." Yuko paused as she thought a bit. If I knew the weakness to an opponent, I could help stall for time in case of an emergency against an akumatized person. If that's the case then-
"Yuko! Someone's here to see you. He said his name is Nathaniel and he asked if you wanted to walk back to the school for the afternoon courses." Nozomi's voice reached her from the locked room.
The red haired teen's eyes widened as Slypph hid away and Rosse nodded her head. "Hang on a sec!"
"I didn't expect you to stop by. When Stoneheart went through the school, we all kinda scattered."
Nathaniel smiled as the two walked, Yuko tugging her hair back into a ponytail. "I was worried about you, since you we're new to the school and everything. We are classmates after all." The artist admitted.
"Well, I appreciate it a lot. It's a rather large academy." Yuko pointed out as they reached the school. Okay, stay calm Yuko. Can't let them figure out you're a new superhero. Rosse would be so upset. I know exciting, but...
"So what do you think of the new superheroes?"
Yuko snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Nathaniel. "Y-You mean Ladybug and Cat Noir right?" she asked.
"And Crimson Butterfly."
Yuko mentally smiled, blushing as she nodded. "R-Right, and Crimson butterfly. It seems like all of them have a lot to learn, in their own ways. Noir needs to learn to be patient. Ladybug needs a some confidence I could see that when she hesitated in the stadium earlier. And Butterfly seems like she's trying to understand who she is." The red haired teen stated.
"Really? I didn't think about that. It makes sense since this is their first appearance in the world. You're very observant Yuko." Nathaniel pointed out, prompting Yuko to blush as they walked up the steps.
"I-It's not much! They're really brave though. I feel like that's gonna help in the future."
"Same here." Nathaniel smiled as he looked forward, before frowning, "I wonder what's going on over there."
Yuko looked up to see Alya and Chloe arguing, several other students she recognized from earlier watching. "How could you say that to Ivan? You're the real Stoneheart!" The brown haired teen scolded.
"So I was the one who broke Sabrina's father's hand? Just cause your footage was on TV doesn't mean you have to make a big deal of it!"
Both Yuko and Nathaniel sighed as they approached the pink haired teen. "Hey Alix, what's going on?" The artist asked.
Alix looked up at the two and sighed. "Chloe upset Ivan and he ran off. The Alya and Chloe started fighting about it." The pink haired teen stated, before realizing Yuko was there, "Where are my manners. I'm Alix. You're that new student, from earlier in the class right?"
"Y-Yeah. I'm Yuko Tendo. Please to meet you." Yuko introduced, before shaking hands.
"Hey Chloe."
Everyone in the courtyard turned, and Yuko's smile returned to her face as she recognized the boy who was her penpal get hugged by Chloe. "Oh Adrien-kins, you came!" The blond haired woman stated.
Yuko watched Adrien chuckle before he locked eyes with her. "Wait a sec! Yuko! Is that You!?" The male asked as she walked over, Nathaniel close behind.
"Yep! I told you I was gonna be moving to Paris. My family is setting up an art studio her." The red haired teen explained as the two gave a friendly hug, mentally smirking as Chloe looked in shock, "It's nice to meet in person finally."
"You two know each other!?"
"I did say we were penpals earlier Chloe. That's how I knew who you were beforehand."
Chloe just continued looking on in shock, before dragging the male around for a tour of the academy. Adrien waved as he left, and Yuko chuckled as Marinette and Alya joined them. "Wow girl, that was so cool! I didn't know about that before!" Alya stated as Marinette nodded, before the blue haired teen left, "I feel bad for Ivan though. He didn't deserve what Chloe said about him."
"I agree. Why did he get upset before though, in class? Was it because of an argument?" Yuko asked.
"According to Kim, it's cause he said that Ivan had a crush on Mylene. He got mad and embarrassed, but he didn't deny it."
"Maybe because it's true. He's mentioned it to me before," Nathaniel admitted, and both girls raised an eyebrow, "I just respected his wishes and didn't say anything. I think he's just upset cause he doesn't know how to confess his crush to her properly."
"That's a nice thing to do Nathaniel. You're a good friend." Yuko pointed out, and the male blushed.
"T-Thanks Yuko. I guess all of us are heroic at some points."
"Speaking of heroic..." Alya paused as she pulled out her phone and handed it to the two, "Have you seen the interview I did with Crimson Butterfly after Ladybug and Cat Noir left?"
Yuko mentally cringed as she watched herself, in her heroic form, give an interview of herself, part of her stammering in the video as she admitted that she was nervous and still learning the basics of her powers. "She's rather shy, I'll say that. But I can tell she'll get better. I wonder if she'd be will to do another interview in the future." Alya pondered out loud, and Yuko mentally shook her head.
Nope. Not until I've adjusted. I'm not that good yet. But still...
"Perhaps she will Alya." Yuko stated, and Alya raised an eyebrow, "She's still learning the basics of her own power. Maybe once she has it under control, she'll give it another shot."
"How do you know that?" Nathaniel asked as the 3 of them began walking to class, Marinette joining up with them as they reached the steps.
"Well it's like Alya said, she's gonna get better, I can tell just by looking at the video. Yes, Butterfly may be shy, but maybe it's cause this is her debut. She may need a little bit of time to adjust to her role as a super hero." Yuko explained, and the other three students nodded.
"I suppose you got a point. That just makes me excited to get another interviews in the future!" Alya exclaimed, and Yuko mentally facepalmed.
Make that another mental note. Definitely make sure she doesn't figure out it's me who's Crimson Butterfly. Cause this is beyond stress inducing. The red haired teen thought as they reached the room, before cringing as another argument broke out. Does something like this happen everyday!?
"You get used to it eventually. Chloe's caused trouble like this in the past. She and Marinette have been in the same class for years, and she's made it a goal to cause her grief." Nathaniel whispered.
"And I thought me and Taji argued a lot," Yuko stated as they sat in their seats.
"Taji?"
"My older brother. He's 19, yet acts like he's in charge when my mom and grandfather aren't around. I will admit he's a good glass artist though."
"Sound like he's the fire element in your family then."
Yuko pondered this, and chuckled. "I think I have to agree on that. Taji's quick tempered like fire, my grandfather's experienced like earth, my mother is graceful like wind. And all three of them say I'm flowing and free spirited, like water. I guess that's where the idea for the Studio's name came from."
"Sounds like a lot of fun."
Yuko smiled as the teacher began rollcall. "Nino?"
"Here."
"Nathaniel?"
"Present."
"Yuko?"
"I'm here."
"Adrien?"
"Uh... here?" Yuko giggled as Adrien figured out how it all worked.
"Ivan?"
Everyone in the room jumped as Stoneheart slammed through the room, eyes glowing with rage. "Present!" The Akumatized figure growled.
A wave of panic escaped Yuko. Uh oh. Looks like Ladybug forgot to purify the akuma. And with this many students around, I can't transform. Which means...
Yuko's panic grew. I'm a sitting duck!
Evil, thy name is cliffhanger. And I apologize my fellow readers, that's a habit of mine that is bound to happen again in the future. Especially with two certain episodes *zips lips* Not saying though.
Anyways, thanks to My first reviewer, Fiction is the truth (I agree with that penname btw) for the review and favorite. *Gives virtual cookies*
That's it for this chapter. Until next chapter, this is Warrior signing out. See ya on the other side of the Nexus!
