Chapter 9:
Emi's POV:
"Wake up!" Calex dived onto the bed we were sharing, landing on my chest and legs. His heaviness and sudden movement scared me so much, I punched Calex's cheek by mistake. "EMS! Why must you injure me every time I go to wake you?"
Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I just shrugged. "Why do you try and flatten me every time you wake me up? You know that I swing first." He playfully punched my shoulder, before launching into a trickling battle. By the end, we were a bunch of limbs and a giggling mess on the floor.
"Yo, children you've got forty minutes to get to school." Calex's sister called from the doorway. She was an early raiser, until her younger brother. She usually got up at five a.m. four days a week to get the restaurant ready to open, even through the place doesn't open up until ten a.m. most days. "Calex if your late for school or Emi is, your getting up at five every morning with me for a week straight." With that threat in our ears, she wished us a good day at school and closed the door.
The next twenty minutes blew by. Calex was on a mission and nothing was going to stop him, not even me. Before getting himself ready, Calex shoved me into his connecting bathroom with a pile of clothes and other things in hand. "You've got fifteen minutes!" After getting out of the shower and finished freshing up, I finally took a look at the outfit Calex had thrown at me. The red heart shirt and matching shoes weren't bad, but a skirt, he actually give me a skirt. I know he did this on purpose too. I'm not a complete tomboy, but I'm not a big fan of skirts either. The classic jean skirt matched with everything else, so I wasn't to bad. But since I;m working with my sister after school today, I preferred to wear pant or shorts, easier to move around in. There was a knock on the door, "Ems, times almost up. Your ready?"
"Get me something else that has pant." My answer was to open the door and throw the clothes he'd helpfully picked out. "Don't even begin about how we do have for this. I will loc-"
The bathroom door open slightly to reveal a hand tossing in a new outfit. "Here, just don't make me late...again. I'm not getting up at five a.m.. No matter what, if I do, you are too." So that's how we end up downstairs, with ten minutes to get to school. Calex actually does have a good sense of fashion. This new outfit was a pair of jean capris, with an open purple and black plaid shirt that revealed my purple what heart t-shirt underneath, and my purple and black tennis. When I cant decide what to wear, I sometimes beg Calex to pick something out for me. When that doesn't work, I'll move extra slow until he gets annoyed and chooses an outfit for me anyway.
We were almost to school, when Pixie flew out of my shirt. "Emi wait, Ladybug is trying to contact you." I stopped running to glance at my Kwami. All kwami have this cool ability to still be able to sense when another miraculous user to trying to contact another who isn't transformed. "I think she needs help."
"Where's Chat Noir?" Calex asked, half wanting us to just continue to the school and the other wanting to find out what's happened for Ladybug to be contacting me. "Come on." He grabbed my arm and pulled us into an empty side street.
"Pixie, Let's Soar!" Once I became Blue Jay, I pulled out my fan and flipped it so that it hidden cell phone feature showed. An icon of Ladybug appeared on the screen, signaling that she had answered. "Ladybug, what's wrong?"
"Ho...ld...on..." Her voice faded in and out as the sound of battle blurred out what could be heard. A long moment later, she spoke again. "I don't know where that cat is, but it must be important for him not to be here. I've been chasing this akumaized person since sun up. Chat hasn't answered any of my calls. Other then Chat, your the only one of us with enough offensive power to take this one down long enough for me to get the item. So..um...help?"
I glanced at Calex, knowing that by going to help Ladybug, I would definitely be late for school. Calex just nodded, knowing what my answer to Ladybug was going to be. "I've got your location, I'm on my." Closing my fan, I replaced it on my hip before looking at Calex with a big grin. "Thanks!" Kissing his cheek, I promised to make it up to him later, as I dashed down the main street.
Calex's POV
I watched as my best friend dashed off once again to save Paris. Emi has been Blue Jay for a while now and I'm still surprised at how calmly I reacted when I discovered who Blue Jay was. Emi's isn't the best t keeping serects from me. We rarely keep anything from each other. The only time we really do is when it involves someone else's serect. For example, Emi tells me a lot about her business as Blue Jay that she probably shouldn't have told me. Like the fact that Ladybug goes to our school. I know this because, Emi explained that Panda Mime once let it slip that his kwami likes to hang out with Ladybug's kwami while he's in class. DUring another time, Panda Mime had told Blue Jay by mistake which school he attended. So now we know that Panda Mimie and Ladybug also attend the same school as us. I wonder if Chat Noir does as well?
Point is, Emiwould tell me everything if she could and I would do the same for her. But sometime that things we want to share aren't our bunsiness to tell.
"Hey." I called to some of Alya's classmates. They wee all gathered around Max, who;s labtop was out. "What's everyone watching?"
Rose, another classmate of Alya's, was the only one to look away from the screen and speak. "It's a livestream from the Ladyblog. According to Alya, Ladybug was been chasing this lastest villain through the city since before the sun up. Chat Noir has not shown up, but Blue Jay just arrived on the scene. Everyone's been glued to the screen since her appearance. How often do partners from two different teams show up? Even the teachers are watching," she pointed to two teachers who were also watching the livestream with the other students. "The bell rang like two minutes ago." She said no more, as she pushed some people aside to make room for me.
The villain was clad in an all black and grey jumpsuit, easily throwing anything he could get his hands on. Ladybug couldn't get close without risk of smacking into an object. Emi, I mean Blue Jay was fairing slightly better. Her fan allowed her to slice through some of the objects that were thrown at them. This villain certainly was something different for the both from them. Never have either team gone up against such a physical enemy. One who wasn't trying to run away, steal their miraculous, or go after the person who 'wronged' them. This guy was just throwing whatever he could get his hands on.
"Why don't they use ther special move?" Chloe and Sabrina decided now would be a good time to come over and shove everyone out of their way. "I adore Ladybug and all, but sometimes she just drags these battles out. If it were me out there, I would've use my powers already and ended things. Having pleasant of time to still sign autographies before leaving."
"You'd also be the same one getting tricked or used by the enemy, thus requiring the most saving."Ah, Mara has arrived. Like Chloe, Mara is annoying, snobby, and wants things her way only. Surpring that they don't get along. I turned to leave for the classroom before Mara noticed me, now is not the best time for me to be around her. No one else was in the room, allowing me to pull out my cell and log onto the Ladyblog. The fight hadn't gotten any better, Ladybug appeared exshuated. As it was, Blue Jay was protecting the both of them from attacks. Knowing Emi, I could only guess that she was about to use Sonic Wave soon. If used correctly, she could blind or daze an opponent as well as acting them.
My thoughts came back to the screen when I saw that the livestream was cut off. For several ong moments, nothing came up. Then Ayla's voice could be heard. "Viewers of the Ladyblog, as you have seen, Ladybug has been battling this villain all morning and hasn't gotten close to it at all. For a few moments, it appeared as if they had him corned." The video come back on, to show a worried Alya. "He managed to escape at the last moment, but not before nearly destroying the area." The video panned to show the destruction that had been caused. Ladybug and Blue Jay were nowhere to be seen. I started to get worried, when I saw a giant hamster ball roll out from a collapsed wall. It was red with black spots, Ladybug's colors. From the opening an exshuated Ladybug and injured BlueJay walked out.
The two had to help each other stand, as Alya made her way over. "Ladybug, Blue Jay are you alright? Any words about this battle?"
The two girls looked at each other, before Ladybug answered. "As you have witness, this lastest villain is unlike the others we have faced in the past. As of right now, we suggest everyone stay away from the surrounding three blocks by the park."
"Before he left, he challenged not only us, but our partners as well to a final showdown in the park." Blue Jay continued, "We don't know when this will be. But for the public's safetywe ask everyone to remain away from the three surround blocks by the park and the park itself. We are unsure when this challenge will be issued or a fight will break out.
"We know this is a lot to ask, but just bare with us for now." Ladybug wanted to say more, but stopped there when her earrings began to beep, along with Blue Jay's bracelet. Ladybug put her hand on the giant hamster ball and said, "Miraculous Ladybug!" Instead of throwing the object into the air like usual, to repair the damage that was caused by the attack. Once everything was repaired, the two girls thanked the public once again for their help, before taking off into the city's skyline.
