Michael dashed across the street, eager to get to the video game store. They were having a fantastic deal: buy six games and get them all 75% off. Kwazii popped his head out of Michael's beanie. "What is it with humans and video games? Honestly, all they do is give you hand-eye coordination and rot your brain. Michael looked up. "Those are two different arguments. Pick a side. Are you for them or against them?" Michael asked. "I don't care for them, that's all." Kwazii said. "If you ask me, they're a waste of time. But if you want to mess around with a stupid pixelated character on your TV, be my guest, but it better not interfere with my popcorn eating." Michael rolled his eyes at the comment and continued rushing to the store.
He ran past a dog refusing to move. "Come on, Butch!" The owner yelled. The dog refused, needing to pee and strained, trying to get to the tree. "Butch, we're going to be late! Let's go!" The man yelled. The dog whimpered as he neared the tree. "COME ON!" The man screamed, yanking on the leash. The dog yelped as the impact caused him to drop the bone in his mouth. "Butch, ever since I got you, you've been nothing but trouble! How much can one man take, and how much can one dog misbehave? I'm sick of it! You are in so much trouble when we get home!" He reprimanded. The dog whimpered and lowered its head sadly.
Hawk Moth cackled within his lair. "Anger is in the air. I can feel it. A disgruntled owner plus his ungrateful dog equals akuma." he opened his hand and the akuma fluttered into it. He darkened it and it flew away, out of his lair and into the streets of Paris.
Michael stopped to catch his breath and looked up at the game store. "Finally." he breathed out. Kwazii flew out of his hiding spot. "Michael, I sense an akuma." Michael's expression darkened. "Now? Can't it wait?" Kwazii glared at him. "Akuma. A-ku-ma." Michael shook his head. "Dude, the store is wild and people are flying through the shelves! I have to get those games! We have a while until the person gets akumatized, we can get my games and stop the akuma! Now hide." Michael stuffed Kwazii into his beanie and ran into the store.
The man didn't notice this interaction and was still trying to get his dog to cooperate. The akuma fluttered near him and was about to enter the leash when the man's negativity faded. His anger turned to love. "WHAT?!" Hawk Moth cried. The owner of the dog was currently talking to his crush, the woman that lived in the same apartment complex and was muttering some weird thing to her. The akuma went to the next best thing and injected itself into the dog's bone. The white fur around the dog's eyes went red and the outline of a purple butterfly etched itself onto the dog's face. Hawk Moth was startled but thought about it. "I guess this must have happened before. I can work with this. Hello, Mauvaise Moursure. I am Hawk Moth. You're such a cute dog. You don't deserve such horrible treatment. I have a proposition for you. I will give you the ability to wreak havoc and seek revenge on all dog owners in Paris! Dogs shouldn't be chained up! They should be free and should run wild!" It was at this moment Hawk Moth face palmed. He sounded like an animal rights protester. "You will become enormous and will rule as their king, but as long as you can get me the miraculous of Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Eagle Eye. Can you do that for me? Huh? Huh?" The dog barked in glee and caught the attention of the owner. He kicked the dog and whispered, "Shut up!" The dog growled as the purple goop swarmed his tiny body. "Good boy." Hawk Moth praised.
Michael left the store, bag of video games in hand. "See, Kwazii? I bought my game and no screams, attacks, or nothing. Let's get home so I can-" He was interrupted by an enormously loud bark and the screams of terrified Parisians. He looked to his left to see a giant dog that had purple fur, a crown, and a cape growling at a man and what appeared to be his partner. "Bad Butch! Bad dog!" He yelled. The dog growled and barked once more. Suddenly a wave of dogs came running down the street, flooding it. A staff and a yo-yo combined to make a net to temporarily hold the dogs. "You don't find that in nature every day!" Chat Noir said, jumping to the ground in front of the dog. Ladybug landed next to him. "Where's Eagle Eye? You'd think he'd be here." She dialed him and it went straight to voicemail. Michael winced and began running to his house. "Uh, michael?" What are you doing?" Kwazii asked, floating alongside him. "Well, I'm going to transform, but I need to drop off my video games! You think I'm gonna leave them in the open for some punk to steal?" He asked, turning onto his street. He darted into his house and dropped the bag onto the counter.
"Kid, you've got your priorities mixed up. Oh well. Just do it already." Kwazii sighed. "Kwazii, take flight!" In a bright flash of orange light, Michael was transformed into his alter ego, Eagle Eye. He checked his bow's handle and turned it into the phone setting. He saw he had four unheard messages from Ladybug and she was calling him again. He quickly ran to the second story and opened a window. He jumped out and as he fell to the ground, he yelled. "WINGS!" His jetpack roared as his wings extended and he soared into the sky. He answered the call. "I'm here, Ladybug. What's up?" He asked. "What's up? We're over here holding a bunch of dogs from destroying the city! Where are you?" She cried.
Eagle Eye blushed. "Er...my alter ego had some work to do. Sorry, I couldn't break away from it." He lied. He knew that if Kwazii were here, he'd make some snarky comment about the "work" he had to complete. "So who's the villain behind the mask?" He asked, although he knew the answer. Ladybug froze like he did. "Just come to the main attraction in Paris and you'll see." She said. They both hung up and Eagle Eye put away his bow. When he arrived at the Eiffel tower, he faked his surprise.
"A DOG?" He shouted, a little too fake. "Yep. Akumatized this morning. I didn't even get to eat breakfast." Chat Noir said. "Well, I know how I can help for the time being." Eagle Eye said. He took out his bow handle and extended it, and then a bomb arrow popped out of his back. He aimed at the street and it bounced a couple times before landing. "You might want to stand back." He motioned. They all took five giant steps backward in one step and the middle of the street exploded into a giant ditch. "Is it going to hold them all?" Ladybug asked. Eagle Eye shrugged. "Only one way to find out." Chat Noir said. "After you, m'lady." Ladybug groaned at the comment and let her yo-yo fly into her hand. Chat Noir followed, letting his staff retract. He attached it to his back as the ocean of dogs swirled into the bottom of the ditch and piled to the top.
"Well, it worked, but now we have a giant dog to deal with." Eagle Eye said. A purple butterfly appeared on the face of Mauvaise Morsure. "Mauvaise Morsure, they're going to try to attack you, and they've taken away your army! You must not only free them, but you must also keep them at bay! Collect their miraculous while you're at it!" He shouted. The dog growled and put his paws onto the top of a building. He knocked it over, causing a domino effect. The trio suddenly grew nervous. There were people inside those buildings. Mauvaise Morsure swiped at the trio, making them jump, but then pawed at them midair, sending them flying into a dumpster. "Now, Mauvaise Morsure! Free your army while you take vengeance on those who have wronged you!" The dog turned from them and began digging right next to the dditch. But Hawk Moth enhanced his intelligence. He made sure he digged and threw the gravel back at the trio, trapping them. The wave of dogs escaped and Mauvaise Morsure barked and order to them. Literally. The dogs growled and charged the trapped trio while their leader walked off to handle unfinished business. "Chat Noir! Use you cataclysm to free us!" Ladybug declared. "Um, for the record, my sonic screech ability can break through anything. Just so you know." Eagle Eye interjected. "I don't care! Just do something at something!"
"Cataclysm!"
"Sonic Screech!"
The combined destructive abilities turned the gravel into basically sand and Ladybug wrapped her around the both of them. She launched her yo-yo to a building that hadn't been knocked over and landed there. "Okay, both of you, detransform and recharge. I'll go try and figure out a way to stop Mauvaise Morsure in the meantime!" Ladybug said, throwing her yo-yo and leaving. "Should we turn away, or-?" Eagle Eye asked. "I won't tell Ladybug your secret identity if you don't tell her mine." Chat said. "I don't know. Isn't that like breaking the code?" Eagle Eye asked. "I don't mind. Either way, I'm cool. I just don't want to hurt Ladybug." Chat said. "I think I'd be more comfortable not knowing your identity. I'd probably slip up and say your real name by mistake." Eagle Eye said, turning away.
"Claws in."
"Time to land."
Ladybug travelled through Paris, keeping her eyes on the dog. "What could be the akumatized item?" She wondered aloud. She scanned his body and noticed a fairly sized bone perched underneath the cape. "Huh." Eagle Eye swooped in next to her and Chat ran up to her side. "We're all good. What about you? Got a plan?" Chat asked. "I don't know where he's going, but I need to use lucky charm!" She told them. "Well, let's follow him!" Eagle Eye said, pointing out the obvious. "Well, duh. But it looks like we have company!" The roar of barking dogs got louder as the wave from before swarmed the streets. "Guess we're fighting a bunch of puppies today! We're so heartless." Eagle Eye muttered. "Not me. I've always been a cat person." Chat Noir responded. "So says the cat." Ladybug commented.
Moments later, they arrived the dog park. "That's where he's going! But why?" They found out seconds later. Mauvaise Morsure barked and the dogs that were fetching their toys and playfully wrestling with their owners began to growl and attack them. The doggie king barked again and The park was infected with puppies and dogs. Ladybug realized something. "I bet the bone is hypnotizing them! No one is that persuasive!" She announced. "So that's where the akuma is!" Chat finished. "It's always the bone." Eagle Eye said. The trio landed in a tree because the fence poles had pointed tips, great for stabbing. "How do we stop him?" Chat asked. "I think we should save the dog owners from their vicious beasts." Eagle Eye said, swooping down and picking up a woman whose hair was being ripped out by her pomeranian. "Thank you, Eagle Eye!" She choked out. He placed her on a tree branch, away from the giant dog. Ladybug and Chat Noir were both fighting with their dogs too. Chat Noir ripped a chocolate lab off of a gluttonous man and helped him to his feet. He flipped out of the way from a tiny dog that was targeting him and he extended his staff, bringing the man to safety. On his way, he passed Ladybug who kicked a husky puppy off her foot and swiped at a pekingese that had grabbed onto her shoulder and wouldn't let go. "Ladybug! Help!" A woman's shrill cry came from her left and she saw her being drowned in pile of dogs. Ladybug did a dramatic launch with her yo-yo and wrapped it around the woman. She pulled and all the dogs flew off of her and she was sent flying into the air. She was caught by Eagle Eye who was the transporter of all civilians to safety.
"I think we got all of them!" Ladybug called out. "Yeah, but it looks like King Doggo called for the calvary!" Chat Noir yelled. "I need to use lucky charm! Cover me!" Ladybug yelled. The two heroes fended off the dogs. Eagle Eye used as many net arrows as he could, but the dogs kept escaping, and Chat Noir was stuck on the ground, fighting. Losing.
"Lucky charm!" Ladybug yelled. A red and black polka-dotted back scratcher fell into her hands. "A back scratcher? What am I supposed to do with this?" Ladybug asked. She scrutinized her surroundings and her lucky vision turned on. One of the gate's poles went polka dotted, so did Eagle Eye's bow, another pole, Chat Noir, Mauvaise Morsure, his cape, the bone stuck to his back, two trees juxtaposed to one another, and finally the back scratcher. It all clicked into place and Ladybug began to order them around. "Chat Noir, take out the bottom part of the gate, and Eagle Eye, get ready to launch some serious arrows!"
"Gee, m'lady. I didn't take you to be the barking type." Chat joked. Ladybug rolled her eyes and did a flip onto the back of Mauvaise Morsure. He retaliated by trying to shake her off like a bull, but she held on tight. "Eagle Eye, herd all the dogs into between those two trees!" She yelled. Eagle Eye nodded and summoned his power. "Sonic screech!"
He blasted the ground, sending the little minions into right where Ladybug wanted. They sat there dazed and confused and any moment they would wake up from their fever dream and start working again. Ladybug ripped the cape from king doggo's back and wrapped her yo-yo around one of the trees. "Now Chat Noir!" She yelled. She launched herself to the trees and wrapped the cape around the trunks, trapping the dogs while Chat destroyed the base holding up the fence. The fence fell to the ground and the pointy poles fell right underneath Eagle Eye. He realized what she meant by arrows and quickly picked one up. He aimed and fired it at one trunk, then picked up the other, aimed, and fired. Bullseye. He locked the cape in place, locking all the lackeys in their spots, leaving the heroes to deal with the big dog.
"Okay, now that the puppies are in their play pen, what do we do with the guard dog?" Chat asked. "Okay, quickly, wrap the gate around Mauvaise Morsure so he can't escape!" Ladybug shouted. The two others nodded and complied. "They're trying to put you in your pen, just like your old owner did! Stop them before it's too late, and don't forget about the miraculous!" Hawk Moth shouted. The dog growled, this time foaming a bit at the mouth and began to bite at the heroes as they bent the gate to surround the giant dog. "Dog's in the doghouse. Now what?" Eagle Eye asked. "Which one of you is more flexible?" Ladybug smirked.
Chat Noir whined as he crawled underneath the dog that was in a pounce stance, ready to bite Ladybug. She grinned, counting on Chat and avoided every swipe the dog took and every bite the dog attempted with a flip away. These weren't random flips. They were precise, leading her to the place she needed to be at. Chat took out the back scratcher Ladybug gave him and began to run it against the dog's belly. He suddenly stopped attacking Ladybug and panted in happiness. The anger in his eyes changed to a glimmering joy as the dog barked playfully. Chat groaned and swiped at the shedding fur as Ladybug jumped onto the neck of Mauvaise Morsure. "Good dog." She praised, scratching behind his ear. She reached for the bone that wasn't stuck. It was wrapped in the fur in a pretty bow. She undid it and grabbed the bone. She did a flip off of the dog and landed on the ground. "Stay." She said to both Chat and the dog. She took the bone and smashed it against her thigh. It fell to the ground in two pieces. Ladybug took the back scratcher from Chat to was bathing in shedded dog fur and watched as the akuma fluttered away,
"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma." She told it, opening her yo-yo. She let it fall to the ground before swinging it in the purifying style and capturing it. "TIME TO DE-EVILIZE!" She cried.
"Gotcha!" She opened her yo-yo and the butterfly fluttered out, as white as the moon on a clear night. "Bye-bye, little butterfly." She watched it go, before throwing the back scratcher into the air. "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" The back scratcher transformed into a swarm of ladybugs that began to mend the city. It went back to where the dog had first been akumatized and fixed the street, covering up the ditch that both Eagle Eye and the dog created. It made all the buildings upright again. The park was fixed and all the owners were reunited with their dogs on the ground. Mauvaise Morsure returned to his normal dog size and lost all of his villain attire. His owner ran up and immediately began scolding him. "Bad Butch! You lousy, no good, rotten-" Ladybug interrupted him with a cough. She grinned at him nervously, but Chat Noir and Eagle Eye glowered at him. He realized he should try being nicer instead of being such a rotten owner. "Look, Butch. I'm sorry. I forgot that dogs have feelings, too. You deserve better treatment. Let's go for another walk." The dog barked happily and his tail wagged furiously.
Hawk Moth groaned in anger. "Dogs are horrible! What good do they ever bring me? You failed Mauvaise Morsure, and I already have a thing against cats! Ladybug! Chat Noir! Eagle Eye! You may have won the battle, but the war isn't over! And don't think I'll ever trust an animal to deal with you again, pet control!" He yelled.
"Well, another day saved. It was good seeing you guys." Eagle Eye said. "I'll see you later." Ladybug waved, swinging away. Chat looked at Eagle Eye.
"I'll see you later Adrien."
"You too, Michael."
I think I like this chapter the best since Hawk Moth hasn't done anything with animals yet, and I think the fight scene was pretty good, description wise. Better than the other chapters. And what happened between Adrien and Michael? Oh and Plagg and me what you think! Don't forget to R&R Bye!
