So now we're on to chapter 4, and I'm thinking maybe I'll keep origins at 4 parts instead of working on 5, but this will be a longer chapter because of that. Cause each episode is gonna be split into two parts, with the exception of one or two episodes, which will be 3 instead, and each one will be between 2500 and 3500 words from now on.
I apologize if I messed on spelling in the past chapters or if I messed up in last chapter. I didn't know if the episode started the next day or after the lunch break that students in France get. (I took French and was just going by what I remembered.)
Okay enough rant, let's get this chapter Over with. I don't own Miraculous, only my OCs.
Chapter 4: Origins, Part 4
"This is not good! Not good at all!"
Yuko's panic was starting to grow as she watched Stoneheart pick up Mylene and Chloe. I thought We destroyed the item that transformed him. So then why did Ivan become Stoneheart again, and how!?
A tugging caught her attention, and she felt someone pull her out of the classroom. Yuko looked to see Nathaniel breathing heavily as he slumped onto the wall. "S-Sorry about that. You were kinda out of it and I thought I should get you out of there before he grabbed you as well." The artist explained as he took a few deep breaths.
"T-Thank you. I must've had a panic attack and lost my trail of thought. I-It happens a lot," Yuko stammered.
"It's alright. We should head to somewhere safe for the time being."
Yuko nodded, before a thought dawned on her. "Sounds like a good plan. You head on ahead though, I'll catch up in a bit."
"You sure?" Nathaniel asked, and watched as the red haired teen nodded, "Alright then. Stay safe."
A small smile graced Yuko's lips as the other ran off, before looking at her bag. "Sounds like this job wasn't as completed as we thought." The teen stated as Rosse popped out of the bag.
"Ladybug must've forgotten to purify the akuma. If you don't do that, there's a chance he could akumatize again." The kwami explained.
"That's must've been what happened. But now that we all know that, we can get this job done properly," A smile grew on Yuko's face as she looked at Rosse, the Kwami nodding happily, "And this time, I'm prepared for what's to come!"
"Are you ready then?"
"First I gotta check in on Nathaniel. He helped me out back there. I should at least see that he gets to safe place, as Crimson Butterfly.
"Alright then. Just remember that your identity must be kept secret."
"Got it! Rosse, Soar High!
Nathaniel took a deep breath as he reached the top of the staircase. Almost there. I hope Yuko will be alright. The artist thought as a small flush crossed his face. She's rather nice to talk with. She's also the first person to ever stand up to Chloe like that.
"Need some help?"
Nathaniel jumped as a red clothed figure landed in front of him, green eyes sparkling behind a rose patterned domino mask as she sat on the staircase's rail. "Y-You're Crimson Butterfly!" The artist exclaimed.
Crimson butterfly nodded. "I sensed you needed some help getting out of here, along with a few others."
"Y-Yeah. My friend Yuko's somewhere in the building. At least I hope she still safe."
"She's fine. I just dropped her off near the Eiffel tower. Need a lift to your house?"
"S-Sure. If that's alright."
Crimson Butterfly smiled, and opened the fan that was on her back. Nathaniel was surprised to see a belt and bracelets to help attach it to her back. "That's rather helpful in times like these," The teen stated as the superhero lifted him into the air, before jumping off of the staircase.
"I'm still learning the basics to them. I haven't exactly gotten time to master it. But I'm getting there," The hero admitted as the two glided downward and out the doors, before soaring higher in the sky.
Well Nathaniel had to admit, this was a great view to see the city from. Granted he had visited the Eiffel tower and seen the city from that perspective, but never had he seen the world from above. "It's amazing." he breathed.
"It's amazing."
From behind her mask, Yuko looked down as she noticed Nathaniel's eyes shining. "I've never seen the world from above like this. The Eiffel Tower only goes so high," The Artist admitted, and the hero looked around.
She had to agree with him on that. Before she was in a rush just to get to the stadium and was learning the basics. Now, looking around and soaring higher than last time, she had to admit the view was incredible. The rooftops, the patios, even the stores from this height. It was like seeing her world in a different way. I wonder if Ladybug and Cat Noir feel the same on this. It's beautiful.
"There's my house right there Butterfly."
Yuko snapped out of her thoughts and watched Nathaniel point towards a building close to her family's studio. Well that explains how he got to my house so fast. The hero thought as she dived down and landed on the ground.
"Thanks Crimson Butterfly. I really appreciate the help." The artist admitted.
"You're welcome. Stay safe!" Yuko called behind her as she took a running start to build up wind for take off. A small blush crossed her face as she waved and soar into the sky. T-That was definitely something. I'm glad he'll be fine then. The hero thought as she spotted Cat Noir in another part of town, a frown crossing her face as she saw him struggling against one of the stone giants. I hope ladybug gets here soon though. We're gonna need some help.
"If you can here me Ladybug, I could use a little help!"
Yuko grew worried as she landed next to Alya, the other just as worried as she was. I'm really worried now. With this many stone giants, we're gonna out of options soon. The hero thought as she disengaged her fan from her arms.
Before she could continue though, a car was thrown into the air and towards her and Alya. A brief flash of pain crossed her mind as the car landed in front of them, catching her foot and trapping both girls behind it. "You alright Alya?" the teen asked, the other trapped above her.
"I'm fine. You should be worried about your injury." The blogger pointed out from above as she looked down at the hero's foot. A flash of pain caught Yuko's attention as she noticed the car had landed on part of her foot.
"I'll be fine. But where is Ladybug where we need her?" Yuko asked.
As if on cue, a yo-yo flew past her head and tugged the car up enough to where she and Alya could get out. From behind the mask, Yuko breathed a sigh of relief as her foot was freed and the two girls escaped from their problem. "You okay Butterfly?" The blogger asked.
"Just don't put this on my blog," The hero joked as Ladybug made her way towards them while carrying Cat Noir's baton, "Thanks Ladybug!"
"You're welcome." Ladybug stated as she joined up with the other, before looking over at Alya, "You should get out of here, it's not safe."
And with that, the spotted hero threw the baton towards one of the stone giants. "Cat Noir, extend it!"
The baton extended as Cat Noir broke free from it's grip, Before Ladybug dragged him out of the way from a light post. "Sorry I'm late you two." the spotted hero apologized.
"Lady, have I ever told you that you turn my world upside down?" Cat Noir joked.
Yuko mentally facepalmed as she shook her head. That was a bad pun. The teen thought from behind the mask as Ladybug called him out for the joke. A roar caught her attention as the other stone giants made their way toward them.
"Jokes later please," Yuko stated as she engaged her fan.
"R-Right. We need to get out of here" Ladybug pointed out as she grabbed Yuko's hand with one hand, and tugged the yo-yo (Cat Noir still attached to it) with the other. A gust of wind propelled the two in the air, and Yuko let go to navigate herself within the sky.
"Aren't we gonna take care of them?" Cat Noir asked.
"Nope. If we wanna stope them, we gotta take out the source of it all." Ladybug stated as she pointed towards the Eiffel tower, and Yuko noticed Stoneheart climbing up the famous structure. Several helicopters and police vans had already started to gather, as well as several of the other giants
"Is that the mayor?" Yuko asked as Stoneheart threw Chloe, "Uh oh..."
A flash of red flew past her as Ladybug swung to catch the blond haired teen from a painful ending. A smile graced her lips as she and the Mayor hugged. Must be family. I gotta admit, they're a lot alike. "That's one person safe. Now we gotta save Mylene." The butterfly based hero pointed out as she and Cat Noir joined up with Ladybug.
"This is my fault. If I had captured the Akuma in the first place, none of this would've happened." Ladybug admitted, and Yuko noticed the other's worry, "I knew I wasn't the one for this job."
"No, he's wrong. If you hadn't stepped in, she wouldn't have been okay," Cat Noir pointed out as he gestured to Chloe and the Mayor, "And because without us, they won't make it, and we'll prove that to them."
Yuko nodded in agreement. "Well all make mistakes Ladybug. After all, just look how bad I was before on the fan. We all have our problems. Que Sera Sera. Whatever will be, will be. The past is behind us. Now it's just the future." The red haired hero added.
"Just trust us on this okay?"
Ladybug smiled as she shook the other heroes' hands. "Okay."
A roar caught they're attention as they notice Stoneheart start coughing. Yuko's eyes widened as a cloud of dark colored butterflies escaped his mouth. What's that all about? It doesn't look good from the number of butterflies Ivan just coughed up. The red haired teen thought, her eyes widening as Stoneheart fell backwards. Wait, are those the akuma then!?
"People of Paris, Listen to me. I am Hawk moth" Yuko's concern grew as the akuma formed a face
"Hawk Moth?" Both Cat Noir questioned.
That must be who has the moth miraculous. Master Fu told me how the moth miraculous created heroes. He must be using them to create villians by using their negative emotions. The red haired hero thought as Hawk Moth continued.
"Ladybug. Cat Noir. And even you, Crimson Butterfly. Give me the ladybug earrings, cat ring and butterfly charm now. You've done enough damage to these innocent people." Hawk Moth stated, and from behind the mask Yuko grew upset.
"Us do damage? You're the one who akumatized Ivan. Playing with one's negative emotions is cruel!" The red haired hero called out.
"Nice try Hawk Moth. But we all know who the real bad guy is here." Ladybug added as she walked forward, "Let's not reverse the rules here. Without you here none of these innocent people would be transformed into villians. Hawk Moth, no matter how long it takes, we will find you. And you will hand us your miraculous!"
Yuko grinned as Ladybug charged towards the tower. Nice work Ladybug. Talk about a motivation boost The teen thought as she disengaged the fan and held in front of her to prepare herself.
"Time to deevilize!" Ladybug called out as she scooped up most of the akuma, landing on part of the structure in the progress as she turned to face them. "Let me make this promise to you! No matter who wants to harm you, Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Crimson Butterfly will do everything in our power to keep you safe!" The spotted hero declared as she released the purified butterflies.
"You tell her Ladybug!" Yuko called out, notice Cat Noir's awed look.
"Whoever she is beneath that mask, I'm in love with that girl." The male stated, and Yuko giggled.
Looks like we're gonna see some budding romance here. The teen thought as Stoneheart stood up again. But we're not exactly done here yet. We still got stoneheart to deal with.
"You'll never take Mylene from me!" The other growled as he climbed up the Eiffel tower, the other stone giants following him.
Just as she reengaged her fan was about to take off, a glimmer of metal caught Yuko's attention. At her side was a broken piece of metal, possibly from a metal pole of a stop sign. Hold on, maybe I can use this in the future, The red haired hero thought before picking up the metal and taking off. Especially with this situation. They're trapped!
"We're kinda in a tough situation here," Cat Noir pointed out as Yuko landed.
"Yes but we know where the akuma is again. In the hand holding Mylene." Ladybug added.
"But it seems like a shame to separate them. They sound like a good couple."
"That's it! They're made for each other but they just don't know that!"
"Nice job Ladybug! And this time I'll be able to use mine as well, now that I know what they are." Yuko called out as the spotted hero took off upward, Cat Noir following behind. And something tells me that my special ability is needed this time. The teen thought as she join them.
"How do you plan on getting them closer than they are!" Cat Noir called out as Crimson Butterfly joined them.
"With our powers!" Ladybug exclaimed as she tossed her yo-yo, "Lucky Charm!"
From behind her mask, Yuko raised an eyebrow as the yo-yo gave the spotted hero a parachuting backpack, before looking at the piece of metal in her hand. Think Yuko... What could be used in this situation?
A flash of inspiration crossed her mind, and the teen smiled. "That's it! Metamorphosis!"
Yuko closed her eyes, concentrating on an image in her mind. When she opened her eyes, the piece of metal had shifted into a small safety net. "If I know where this one's going, Mylene's gonna a need a soft landing" The red haired teen thought as she dived down.
"How exactly is a parachute and a safety net gonna help in this!?" Cat Noir called out.
"We're about to find out!" Ladybug exclaimed as she tugged the to into a kiss, surprising the two and causing Stoneheart to let go in shock.
Back on the ground, Yuko had set up the safety net. There we go. Now to wait for-" The teen was cut off as Cat Noir landed in the net. "Okay... That works too."
A beeping noise caught her attention, and Yuko grew panicked. "I'm almost out of time! Can you guys take care of the rest?"
"Now sweat Butterfly! Thanks for the save though!" Cat Noir called out as he raced back to help.
Yuko smiled as she race behind a pillar and transformed back. "Well I did the best I could. Let's hope it helped." the teen stated as Rosse floated out, before hiding in the bag, "I'll get us some macarons soon Rosse."
"Thank goodness you're alright Yuko. Crimson Butterfly said she dropped you off near here!"
Yuko turned to see Nathaniel running towards her, stopping to catch his breath. "I'm fine. Are you okay though? You look like you ran all the way here," the red haired teen pointed out, before watching the aftermath of the battle. Looks like Ladybug and Cat Noir did it! that's great!
"I kinda did. Crimson Butterfly dropped me off at my house and after I calmed down I raced down here to see if you were alright."
"I'm still in one piece if that's what you're asking," Yuko joked, "But thanks for checking up on me, I really appreciate it."
Nathaniel smiled, before he turned his head in embarrassment. I know this seems like a rushed offer, but since we're here, do you wanna go up to the Eiffel Tower? O-Of course I understand if you don't." the teen admitted.
Yuko looked up at the grand structure, and smiled. That sounds like a good idea, after a battle like that.
"I'd love to." The red haired teen stated, and Nathaniel's eyes brightened.
"Really? G-Great!"
Yuko smiled as the other escorted her there. "It's a good thing Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Crimson butterfly stopped Stoneheart. Who knows what could've happened." The teen pointed out.
"Something tells me it won't be the only encounter, especially after Hawk Moth's declaration."
Yuko nodded. "Well when he strikes again, they'll be there to save Paris."
As will I, as Crimson Butterfly
And so ends the Origin Episodes. I know this was longer than usual, but the chapters will be about this long from now on. Special thanks to the review from Fiction is the Truth. And I agree, those are some bad cliffhangers. Mine won't get that extreme for this story. That's saved for one of my other working stories right now. This one isn't gonna be too extreme, but still will be suspense full.
Anyways, that's it for now. Next time we continue where the series starts. Until then, this is Warrior signing off. See you guys on the other side of the Nexus!
