I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir, they belong to Zagtoon.


Chapter Eight

"Why did they have to make all the statues naked? Like come on, at least put on a wrap or something." Adrien commented.

A week after they were able to summon their weapons (though with some difficulty), JJ decided that it would be good for them to have a break, so Ajax and Sasha suggested a little tour of the museum in Athens. Currently, Adrien, Nino and Nathaniel were very confused about the way the statues were naked, causing the others to roll their eyes.

JJ slid over, smirking.

"The Greeks thought it was a symbol for heroism. The Persians, Assyrians and Egyptians thought it was shameful, but to the Greeks it was a mark for a hero." JJ explained. Tarek rolled his eyes at the way the three stared at her, making him walk over to a wall. The wall had a huge painting of three people, all who looked very familiar…

"Hey, JJ." JJ turned her attention away from the statue and walked over. "This looks like…" He lowered his voice. "Analyzer, Ladybug and Chat Noir." JJ looked up at it, staring at it and examining it closely.

It was true. The depiction of Ladybug was different, as well as Chat Noir. But something about Analyzer was unusually familiar. She still wore black and white, but her hair and eye color were… Familiar.

"Is that you?" Chloe asked. "Same hair color and eye color and everything."

"Yunan has a tendency to pick masters that look like me."

"Do not." Yunan defended. She rolled her eyes. Marinette looked at the little plaque on the wall underneath the portrait.

"'Ladybug, the Lion Tamer and the Analyzer, heroes of the people'." Marinette read. "Tikki, who is this?" She was quiet for a moment while the kwami spoke and they waited expectantly. Marinette gave a tiny hum.

"Her name was Hyppolitia, the Greek Ladybug and Queen of the Amazons. Tikki said she was a really brace warrior."

"I had a memory of them." JJ said quietly. "When you have this much power and knowledge at your hands, you see multiple memories. They come and go, but I get memories of the past Miraculous holders, including yours."

"That'd be awesome to meet them." Chloe said.

"It would."


They walked around more, looking at past royals, the Greek tragedy heroes, reading stories about ancient artifacts and other things.

They overlooked the entrance, watching people filter in. It was a nice tour, and they were hungry, but at the same time they didn't want to leave.

"Thanks for this, JJ." Marinette said.

"I figured you needed it because of how much you guys have improved. You all are doing so well." JJ said. "Besides, I like this museum." They all smiled.

"We brought her here a couple of months after she started training." Ajax said. "Looked like a kid in a candy store."

"Hey, I love Greek history. It's awesome."

The moment of peace was over in a second.

Glass shattered as gunfire sounded, causing them to duck quickly. People screamed and ran up the stairs as fast as they could, nearly trampling each other. The balcony was pretty much solid, with little spots to peak out of. JJ leaned over to see multiple gunmen coming through the doors, in heavy duty black clothing, and she cursed under her breath.

"Okay, okay, take some breaths." She mumbled to herself.

"What the hell was that?" Adrien whispered. There was a gunshot and a scream and JJ would've jumped over if not for the situation.

"The place is being robbed. I have a plan."

"Well that was fast."

"Ajax, Sasha and Tarek, help people get into the Greek tragedy era. It has multiple safe rooms and locking doors. Alya and Chloe will help guard it and let people in. Treat as many wounds as you can."

"We don't have anywhere to transform though." Chloe said.

"Well now is a good time to put your skills to the test. Go!" They nodded and ran, corralling people toward the place.

"What are we going to do?" Nathaniel asked, his voice a bit shaky.

"Fight." Her staff appeared in her hand and she took a breath, hopping over the balcony with an insane grin.

They looked over to see her land on one guy, slamming her feet into his face, causing him to fall, but she rebounded and hopped to another guy, hitting him with her foot and again knocking him out. She landed on her feet and started batting away guns and punching people.

They snapped out of it and hopped down, Marinette going to one of the staircases, Adrien and Nathaniel hopping down and landing in front of the door to the main hallway, Nino running to the other staircase just as a little girl tripped and fell. A gunman pointed his gun at the staircase, and Nino jumped in front, summoning his shield and curling up in front of her. The bullets ricocheted off the front and he poked his head up, glaring coldly. He threw it like a Frisbee, hitting three people in the heads and causing them to fall, and the shield came back to him. He kneeled and picked the girl up, smiling at her and sending her up the stairs. She stared in awe and was swept away by a man, and they disappeared.

Nino turned to the gunmen, sighing softly.


Marinette was surrounded, all of them pointing their guns at her. One could fire and she could die or be seriously injured.

"Come on, pretty chick. You can come with us and show us a good time." One said. The others snickered. Marinette smiled, her yo-yo appearing in her hand.

"Oh, boys." She said softly. "You are so pitiful." She threw her yo-yo, wrapping it around them and causing them to gasp, their guns dropping and she lifted them and threw them across the room. A gunman ran at her with a stick, but she swung around, punching him in the face and sending him back, swinging around and kicking away another. She heard a yell and a thud, turning around to see a shield hit two people and bounce back to Nino. He gave a salute and smiled, and continued to fight.

Marinette turned as another wave came through, grinning, holding her yo-yo tight.


Alya ushered the last person in, then shut the door. There was sound of gunfire and battle, and she knew they were fighting their butts off to protect the civilians. Chloe was on the lookout, and Ajax, Tarek and Sasha were safely inside, tending to people's wounds as best as they could without revealing Sasha's powers.

"We have incoming." Chloe said, running over. Alya summoned her flute and Chloe summoned her staff, watching as the shadows moved and came closer and closer.

"You know, a few years ago, I would have never imagined fighting alongside you." Chloe raised her eyebrow.

"You're going to do this now?"

"I'm just saying if it weren't for JJ we wouldn't be standing here ready to fight these guys." Before Chloe could say anything, Alya raised her flute to her lips, her eyes focused as she played a note. Three versions of the gunmen appeared, causing them to stop short, and then they stared at the versions, trying to get by them but the shadows imitated. As long as Alya kept playing, the shadows were kept alive. Chloe was deeply impressed and twirled her staff, thinking about what she was going to use on them.

Chloe concluded on her thought and started to run to them, the honey beginning to drip from the tip.

"Hey, boys!" She called. They turned and she stopped, swinging her staff and launching the ball of honey to them, and it wrapped around them, cocooning them in the sweet substance, before caramelizing. Then Chloe jammed the end of her staff underneath and flung them over the balcony and into the wall. The ball broke and the men plummeted, landing hard on the ground.

"Nice." Alya commented, her hand on her hip. "That was new." Chloe grinned and laughed.

"Thanks."


Nathaniel was cornered by two huge, burly and scar covered men, who looked like that could sit on you and you would die. He gripped his fan tightly, slightly holding it over his mouth so they wouldn't see his lip quiver.

"A fan? That is so girly for a guy!" They laughed, raising their bats.

Nathaniel caught a glimpse of JJ, slamming her fist into people's faces, using their guns as defense and sometimes swinging up and snapping their neck and then going to the next person.

And something clicked.

Nathaniel smiled a bit.

"What?" One of the men said.

"A fan is usually used in proper eras, such as the medieval times and other parts of the world. But it can also be a very deadly weapon." Two feathers appeared in his fingers and he threw them, both landing in their chests, and they fell down, the pretty feather daggers poking out from their chests.

"Hm." Nathaniel said, and stepped over their bodies.

Adrien eyed them carefully. Okay, so they had fast firing guns that with just a pull of a trigger they could send bullets through his body, and he had a staff. A staff. Then again, JJ had a staff, but she also was a worldwide wanted assassin that killed 52 people, so yeah, she had that on him.

Adrien narrowed his eyes, spotting JJ swing her legs around a guy's neck, then punch him and they fell. She quickly scrambled up and dodged a punch, and then disappeared in a sea of black.

A memory sparked.

"If you're ever cornered, use some of your own personality. Get them confused, then attack. One of my best signature moves."

"So, you guys have guns." He started, causing them to raise their eyebrows. "That's nice and all, gets the job done real quick. Me, I just have a staff." Their eyes flicked down at his hands, which were empty.

"Oh, not now." Adrien said, summoning his staff. The silver pole appeared in his hand, and he gave his s-eating grin.

"Now I have my staff." They turned defensive as he got into stance, twirling his staff, his green eyes eyeing them carefully.

The middle man attacked first, lunging at him with his bat. Adrien lifted it and blocked, before lifting his leg and kicking him away. He broke the staff in two, which caused him a bit of shock and surprise, but he grinned as they extended, and as they started to come at him, he put them up like swords. Two came at him with knives, he slammed them onto their wrists, making them drop the knives. Then he whacked them on the sides of their heads and caused them to fall down, unconscious.

What was this high?

JJ slammed her fist into the last guy, before faltering in her step, her body screaming at her, basically telling her to fall and go asleep. She looked at the others, seeing them poke the bodies, making sure they were down. They were all exhausted, Marinette had a wound on her left arm, Adrien had a gash on his forehead, Nino had a bruise on his arm, Nathaniel didn't look harmed but he was holding his wrist, a slight grimace on his face. JJ had a split lip and bruises, and she just wanted to sleep.

JJ looked down, bending down and pulling out a handgun from one guy, checking the bullets, then waving at the others.

"Hey, hey, I really hope whatever you're going to do, it doesn't involve shooting somebody!"

The man typed furiously on the keyboard, beads of sweat sliding down his face, cursing under his breath at the firewalls and blocks.

He froze when something cold pressed against the back of his head, his typing stopping, his hands hovering over the keyboard which were shaking.

"I would stop whatever you are doing." He nodded slowly, turning around slowly, freezing up at the five people who glared down on him.

"Greetings." JJ said. "Very nice to meet you, asshole."
