You may or may not have noticed, but my collab story was just posted. Now, I warn you not to read it until I'm done here, as there are spoilers. I told DoctorWhoTARDIS not to post it until this story was finished, but he posted it anyway. Yeah, kind of annoyed, but I don't think many people have seen it yet. I mean, I think he was kind of irritated I put spoilers in the first place, but I THOUGHT it would go up AFTER this story. *Sigh.* What can I say? I'm a troubled teenage girl who no one understands, of course he didn't take me seriously. On a more positive note, I'm super excited for tonight! Halloween is my favorite holiday, I love dressing up, the candy, all the creepy stuff, it's the one one day a year where everyone and everything is as weird as I am! And I get to wear my Ladybug costume to school, I'm even making a playlist of Halloween-esque music for my phone, which I'll stick inside my yo-yo, so my friends and I can listen to it while we Trick-or-Treat! So far, I have some Club Penguin Halloween Party music, "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" and "Uma Thurman" by Fall Out Boy, "Heathens" by Twenty One Pilots, "Running with the Wild Things" by Against the Current, and the Miraculous theme song, because reasons. I also might include Goofy sings "Bring me to Life" and "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman," and "Never Gonna Give You Up" just to mess with my friend. Oh! And "I'm So Excited." We have a really weird friendship. Sorry this is so long. On to the story!
The Miraculous 3 walked down the long dark path, unaware of what lied ahead.
Paon: I have a really bad feeling about this.
Butterfly: So do I, but we have to do this, Master Fu said this is the only way to prove ourselves. How, I'm not sure.
Cat Noir: This is how.
Paon: Ahh! Cat Noir, you scared me, I didn't know you were here.
Cat Noir: Yeah, that was kind of the point.
Volpina: Are you here to help us?
Cat Noir: The opposite, actually. (extends his stick at Volpina and slams her against the wall)
Butterfly: What do you think you're doing, Cat!?
Cat Noir: Proving my dominance, everyone will finally see that I'm the most powerful hero in Paris, and the only one anyone actually needs.
Paon: Stop it!
Cat Noir: What's the matter, little birdie? You upset that I'm hurting your lady?
Paon: She's not my lady, but let her go!
Volpina: Yeah, let me go so we can change that!
Paon: What?
Volpina: Nothing.
Cat Noir: What are you waiting for, Paon? Oh, I get it, you're far too weak to take me on!
Butterfly: Paon...
Paon: Tail of Fear! (his shield blasts energy at Cat Noir)
Suddenly, the world around Cat Noir disappears and is replaced by the Agreste mansion. He sees his parents in their superhero forms, fighting off the Fujitas.
Butterfly (Patricia): You'll never take our Miraculouses!
Fujita 1: I wouldn't be so sure about that, Butterfly.
Fujita 2 sneaks up behind Butterfly (Patricia).
Cat Noir: Mom! Look out!
No one can hear him.
Fujita 2: (snatches the Moth Miraculous from her) You were saying?
Paon (Gabriel): No!
Cat Noir: Father?
Fujita 1: It's the end of the line. Wouldn't your son be proud to know what huge failures you are?
Patricia: You leave Adrien out of this!
The two women laugh hysterically at her.
Patricia: Wait! I surrender.
Paon (Gabriel): Patricia, no!
Patricia: What choice do I have? I'll join you, become a Fujita, just leave our son alone.
Cat Noir: Don't do it!
Fujita 2: You're a smart girl. Let's go, it's time to begin your training.
Patricia: (shedding a tear) Goodbye, Gabriel.
They exit, but they accidentally drop the Moth Miraculous as they leave. Paon transforms back into Gabriel.
Gabriel: No, Patricia, I...I can't believe it. (cries, kneeling on the floor)
Cat Noir: (walks over and sits next to him, he tries to comfort Gabriel, despite the fact that he can't hear him) It's alright, father. Everything's alright. I'm here. (starts to cry)
Gabriel suddenly stands up, his expression changed from sad to angry.
Gabriel: They'll pay for what they've done to me, to my wife, to Miraculous holders everywhere! I must have my revenge.
Cat Noir: No, don't do this! Please!
Gabriel: (noticing the brooch) Patricia's Miraculous? (picks it up) This could be exactly what I need. (exits)
Cat Noir: No, father! No!
Cat Noir returns to reality.
Cat Noir: You win this round, Paon! But next time, I'll be ready for your sick jokes! I'll be ready! (runs off)
Paon: Are you ok?
Volpina: I've been better, but I guess I'm fine.
Butterfly: I don't get it. What happened to him?
Volpina: I don't know, but I have a feeling that was only the beginning.
The Miraculous 3 walk further down the path. Eventually, they're confronted by Ladybug.
Paon: Ladybug! We're glad you're here, Cat Noir went crazy!
Ladybug: Oh please, he's pathetic. What he did to you is nothing compared to what I've got in store.
Butterfly: Oh no, not you too!
Ladybug: Aw, don't worry, princess, it'll only hurt a lot! (she wraps her yo-yo around Butterfly's entire body, then pulls the string tighter and tighter)
Butterfly: Agh!
Volpina: Hypno Song! (She plays music on her flute, and everyone in the room stops and stares at her mindlessly. Directing her focus on Ladybug, she makes the anti hero drop her yo-yo, freeing Butterfly. Volpina stops playing and takes the yo-yo.)
Ladybug: Ugh! This is the second time a girl in a fox suit made an enemy out of me! We'll meet again, Volpina, I'm sure of it. (exits, the yo-yo disappears after she leaves)
Butterfly: I just wish I knew why they would turn on us like this.
Paon: I don't like this, especially since I only have a minute left until I change back.
Volpina: Hopefully we'll get to the end of this hallway without having to fight anyone else.
Jade Turtle: I wouldn't count on it.
Butterfly: Who are you?
Jade Turtle: It doesn't matter, you may have gotten past Ladybug and Cat Noir, but this is the final test.
Paon: Uh, I'm about to change back!
Butterfly: Don't worry, just leave it to us!
Volpina: Use your powers on him!
Butterfly: It's useless, a Miraculous holder can't be affected by tenshi.
Volpina: Well, what do we do? We're running out of time and options!
Butterfly: Let me think, there has to be something we can do.
Jade Turtle tosses his weapon, a large disk, at Paon. He lifts his shield to block it, but he transforms back.
Volpina: Nathaniel!? (leaps in front of him and deflects the spinning disk with her flute, the disk ricochets all over the room) It's up to you now, Butterfly!
Butterfly: Got it.
Butterfly charges at Jade Turtle, dodging the out-of-control disk.
Butterfly: I don't know who you are, or what you intend to do, but I know one thing: we're not going down without a fight!
Jade Turtle: Bring your worst.
Butterfly and Jade Turtle start to fight.
Nathaniel: Thanks, for what you did back there.
Volpina: Hey, it's no big deal.
Nathaniel: So, how did you know my name? I mean, no one ever notices me, I didn't think a superhero like you would. You're so brave, and smart, and powerful, I wish I could've seen it in you in the first place.
Volpina: Well, you're about to find out. (transforms back into Juleka)
Nathaniel: Juleka? Wow, I guess we have nothing left to hide, then.
Juleka: No more holding back.
They hug, almost forgetting their dangerous situation.
Juleka: We really need to do something, Butterfly could use our help.
Nathaniel: It's fine, she's got this, look.
Butterfly and Jade Turtle are pushing each other back with their weapons using an equal amount of force, until Butterfly stomps on his foot and yanks his bracelet off. She holds the bracelet behind her back, taking short heavy breaths, her eyes wide.Jade Turtle transforms into Master Fu. He smiles and claps.
All 3: MASTER FU?
Master Fu: Yes. Congratulations, you have completed the challenge! Very impressive work!
Nathaniel: Wait, so none of this was real?
Marinette and Adrien enter.
Marinette: It was all just a test to see how you would handle a real situation. I'd say you passed!
Adrien: Believe me, I couldn't agree more.
Nathaniel: Oh, Adrien, I'm sorry I took the Peacock Miraculous from you, and used my power to project those traumatic images in your mind.
Adrien: It's alright, it just goes to show that villains will have a tough time beating you.
Butterfly: Only one thing left to do, I guess. Wings down. (transforms into Rose)
Rose: Hi everyone.
Juleka: Whoa, Rose? You're a hero too? That's so cool! This is amazing!
Master Fu: You have a bright future, Miraculous 3. I can tell there are great things in store for you.
Jinxx: Aw yeah! Party time!
Plagg: Break out the cheese!
Wayzz: Nooroo, Myyst, it's been ages. I've missed you.
Nooroo: We've missed you too!
Myyst: I'm so happy to be out of that pin, I was inactive for the longest time.
Tikki: So, Marinette, what's next?
Marinette: Who knows? But whatever happens, I know we'll be ready for it, because Paris has four new heroes! Speaking of which, I wonder where Ailuro is now?
High above the streets of Paris, the panda hero jumps from rooftop to rooftop, ecstatic and free. As the other Miraculous holders are leaving Master Fu's home, she watches them and smiles.
Ailuro: I'll be a part of your team someday, and we'll all be together like that, I'm sure of it. All it takes is a new mission.
Sorry this took so long! I hope you all had a happy Halloween, I know I did! I'm trying to get on here more often.
