Ep 9: Brief career of Ladybug

Brief Disclaimer: Ladybug and Chat Noir belongs to ZIG HeroZ


Intro:

A green glowing, steel pod was flying through space, hurtling towards earth as it crashes, making a huge green flash.

The camera zooms out from the glowing symbol on the Ultimatrix as Dan looks up close at it.

He then activates it while smirking at the camera, raising his hand high and slapping it down on the core.

The background turns all green as Dan morphed into Humungousaur, who pumps his fists while slamming his tail on the ground with a smirk.

A white number appears on the left side, starting at 1.

"Dan 10!"

2: Heatblast ignites 2 fire balls in his hands.

"Dan 10."

3: XLR8 zooms into the right.

4: Diamondhead swaps his right arm across as it turns into a blade.

"DAN 10!"

5: Cannonbolt uncurls and poses.

"Dan 10!"

"Dan 10."

6: Upgrade stretches out of his puddle form.

7: Grey Matter hops off the 7 and lands into a crouch, giving a thumbs up and a smile.

"DAN 10!"

8: Water Hazard slides in on his water blasts and raises his fists up.

"Dan 10."

9: Snare-Oh extends his 4 back tendrils to act as spider legs, carrying him into action.

10: Big Chill phases through the number and floats briefly before zooming near the camera.

"DAN 10!"

Big Chill's head turns back into Dan's as it rotates.

The camera zooms out to reveal Max and Kate by his side.

Dan gave a low-five as his Grandfather as Kate crosses her arm and shakes her head playfully with a smile.

The 2 then ran off-screen, making Dan run towards the camera with a look determination.

He then froze as the series logo appeared above along with his alien, 5 on each side.


"Suit up, sleepy heads! We got alien worlds to explore!" Max exclaims as he open the shades on the window of the Rustbucket, showing a whole bunch of people in costumes. Dan groggy sits up, only to shot his eyes wide open at what he presumes is an attack. "HERO TIME!" BOOF "Chill out, little brother!" Kate said as she reads from a blue pamphlet after smacking a pillow at him. "It's just the 'Cosplay Corner', which you would now that if you read the Schedule."

Dan looks outside to some costumed people walking by while the RV is parked near a building that has a sign that has 'Cos-Con Cosplay Con' on it. "Yeah, I totally know that! I was… uh… just testing you!" Dan weakly adds while hopping down to the floor. "Let's get moving." The kids turns to the old adult as he speaks. "I want to be in the front of the line for my favorite series: 'Star Slip!'" Max then took off his cap and puts on a wildly, long purple wig that is attached to a sliver helmet and has a fake goatee as well. "You guys ready!?"

"I'm just going with the flow and getting awesome photo ops with my dinosaur costume!" "You didn't bring a dinosaur costume." Kate questions her brother as he still smirks with a raised brow. "Didn't I?"


Later, in the building, Humungousaur was posing. "Oh, yeah! Drink in fans! The 'Mid-western champion' is here!" But as he kept smiling, he noticed that no one is around, not even manning the stands. "Wait, where is everyone?"

"That's your costume? You as Humungousaur?" Kate said as she walks up to him. She is now wearing a full red bodysuit that has black spots all over it and a black collar. She also has a red mask with 5 black spots and red with black spots earrings. She has red ribbons holding her hair into twin high pigtails with a bun look to them. She lastly has a red with black spots yo-yo around her hips with a red string.

"Kate, my fans! Where are they?" "They're all probably at the livestream for the newest adventure of Ladybug. Which starts in… 5 minutes!" Kate responded as she checks her watch. "Ladybug?! Who the heck is that?!"

"She is only the greatest superhero EVER! She lives in Real-life, Paris with her partner-in-crime, Chat Noir! They both possess magical jewels called Miraculouses, that gives them super powers! Together, they protect French from Hawk Moth, who wants to steal their Miraculouses for his own purpose, by using evil, magical butterflies called Akumas! Those things can infect people and make them do Hawk Moth's bidding, by giving them superpowers. But in the end, Ladybug and Chat Noir saves the day with Ladybug's Lucky Charm and Chat Noir's Cataclysm powers!"

Kate explains with a smile, before Humungousaur laughs out loud! "Seriously!? 'Chat Noir'?! 'Hawk Moth!?' 'Akumas?' 'Lucky Charm!?' REAL!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kate gained an annoyed look as the Vaxasaurian laughs for a bit. He eventually stops laughing and wipes a tear from his eye. "Ahhh… I needed a good laugh."

"I'm serious! Ladybug and Chat Noir are REAL! There's this girl named Ayla who lives in French and haves a blog about them. She posts videos, photos and Interviews about them on it and it's sent all over the world! Even us Americans knows about them!" Kate explains to her brother, who now listens to her with crossed arms.

"Okay, how come I've never seen this blog?" "Because, you're always focusing on the Justice League, Batman and Superman!" Humungousaur merely shrugs his shoulders. "Good point. But still, Luck? That's not a super power! That's just mere convenient!" "Suit yourself, but she is the inspiration for my costume! Except for the hair, I went with Sailor Moon style to mix it up! Anyway, the livestream is about to start! Want to come? You know, to see them in action?" "No thanks! My fans need me! I just need to find them, first."

Kate then turns and leaves. "Later, bro!" Humungousaur then runs down another aisle, hoping to find some fans to photo op. "Okay Fans, where are you?!" All he got is a pass blowing by him. The transformed hero grumbled in annoyance at not seeing even 1 fan.

Just then, he herd some kids cheering and having fun. "All right! Some action!" He then made a leap, landing near the source with a thud. He looks to see two robot-looking cosplayers along with a blond boy wizard with glasses and his human height, facing each other in a mountain-like spot. "You LARPing Troopers have invaded Wizard Territory for the last time! Lighting Bolt!" The Blond kid then tosses some small, bolt-shaped cutouts at the troopers, that merely bounced off them. The Troopers looks at each other and raises their wood swords.

"Uhh… What is all of this?" "It's LARP! Live Action Role-Play! You want in?" The Vaxasaurian merely had a despair look as he complains. "Why didn't anyone tell me that 'Cosplay Conventions' are full of nerds and geeks?" The small kid merely shrugs. "Suit yourself." The kid then turns back with a determined look. "All right, you guys! I didn't want to do this. But… Wand Attack!" Just then, He holds out his wand and starts waving it around, but the strange thing was that the wand was producing sparkle and yellow trail for some reason.

The swords flew out of the Trooper's hands and embedded themselves into a rock behind them. The Troopers looks at each other again and then got into a fighting position. "Woah! Awesome LARPing, guys!" The kid commits in surprise.

"Yeah… "Awesome" LARPing, guys." Humungousaur sarcastically repeats and then walks away. However, if he had stayed a little longer, he would have noticed a sinister voice from the shadows of a wizard hat theme booth behind him or the sinister eyes with red glowing silted pupils. "Awesome LARPing, indeed."


Meanwhile, with Kate, she is heading towards 'Hall Z', along with other people dressed as Ladybug or wearing a black catsuit with steel toe boots and clawed gloves and a belt that acts like a tail. They are also wearing fake cat ears, a mask and a metal staff on them.

"Wow! The line is so short! I'm very lucky!" Just as she was about to enter, the guard placed the velvet rope in front of her and said. "Sorry, we're at full capacity." The doors then closed, making Kate turns around and moans in sadness at not seeing her 2 favorite superheroes in action.


Humungousaur was walking around the place and talking to himself. "Man! Everyone is ether founding over a girl in a polka-dot suit! Or shooting fake lighting bolts at each other! I guess there's no place for an awesome, giant, dinosaur alien." BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH

Dan looks at his Gauntlet and grumbles to himself, unaware that he is behind the wizard hat booth. "Maybe I should go XLR8 and head out. I did see a Video Arcade, just a few blocks down from this lame-fest." "Young Wizard." A voice calls from the tent, getting Dan's attention as he leans in to follow.

"I don't think you understand the value of that artifact." Dan somehow finds the voice familiar and decide to take a look. By slipping to the ground and looking underneath the tent cover. Inside, he sees the boy from before surrounded by all sorts of magic stuff. "If you want, I can offer a trade for it." The kid merely looks at the wand and declines. "No thanks. I just got it." "I think you will reconsider." Said the voice as the figure moves into the light.

The figure is a human adult that has grey skin with black symbols on his shoulders along with yellow-red eyes. His attire is like that of a tribal or a nomad. He wears a red and black dress and hood, and black pants that are torn beyond his knees. He wears what appears to be some talismans under his neck. He also has long black socks that don't cover his heels or toes. His face is painted white and black to resemble a skull along with black fingernails and toenails.

"Of course, where there's magic, there's also Hex." Dan said with narrowed eyes, recognizing the self-proclaimed "Master Magician". Hex made a whole bunch of red figures appeared with his powers. "Once you see my collection of valuable, magical, trinkets."

"Definitely hero time!" Dan was about to slam down on the Gauntlet when he accidentally knock some jars down, sending them breaking and alerting Hex. "YOU! My old Nemesis." Hex spat out as he glares at the kid hero that has beaten him, time and again.

"Old? I'm 10, remember?" Just then, Dan was grabbed by his left hand and hoisted in the air as Hex narrows his eyes into near silts. "I was trying to play nice! But you forced my hand." Activating his magic, he swaps the wand away and places it into his left hand as Dan questions him. "Why do you want some dumb, plastic wand, anyway?" "Plastic? You mean to say, that you have no idea what this is? You'll not soon to forget the day you were introduce to 'Merlin's wand'." Hex said as he made the wand glowed as the kid commits. "Merlin? He said is name is Walter."


"Not the Food Court. Not the Game Hub." Kate said as she walks near the tent, looking for her brother. "Ether Dan used the Gauntlet to head to the local Arcade…" Just then, a red glow came from within the tent. "GAHH! HEX!" "Or he is in trouble. Going with 'option B'." Kate deadpans and heads inside.

Kate pokes her head to see Dan is tied by chains and suspended in the air by Hex's magic and Merlin's Wand. "As you can guess, Merlin's own personal wand is a true prize for any magician! All right, boy! You chose the wrong day to pick this fight!" Knowing she need to do something, Kate sneaks in while grabbing a fake wand and a jar.

"With this wand in my grip, all the world will came to bow before me!" Just then, a smokescreen appeared, blinding everything for a sec, before Kate appeared. "To be clear, Ladybug is here! Big mistake, Hex! The REAL wand of Merlin is right here!" "Kate, what are you doing?!" Dan whispers as his sibling said back. "Just trust me, okay."

"What?! I have observed the powers of this wand before! It's even casting magic as we speak!" Hex points out, not believing Kate's words. "Your hubris has clouded your perspective, Hex! Behold! The power of the TRUE Merlin's wand! Tent-o, Collapse-ius!" Just as she said the 'magic words' Kate pulls as stray piece of rope with her foot, sending the Tent structure down.

"WHAT!? It can't' be!?" Was all Hex said before being blinded by the sheet. "Come on! Kate called out as she and the boys emerge and starts running from the wizard, who burns away the tent and tosses the wand away as a red aura surround him. "I refuse to be made a fool by you insolent brats!"


"HA! We don't even know what 'Insolent' means!" Dan calls back as all 3 kids keep running. "This is awesome! You guys are amazing LARP-ers!" The blonde kids calls out, thinking everything is all part of another game as they all run towards a fake castle area. "Over here!" Kate said as they all hide behind a pillar holding a giant, blue, monster figure.

Hex then starts concentrating his magic as he floats near them. "Mark my words, children! I don't nee Merlin's wand to dispose of you!" Firing a beam of red energy, he brought the statue to life as a real monster as it breaths blue fire.

"That's just cheesy special effects, right?" The kid questioned with uncertainty as they avoided a claw swap. Dan dragged the 2 out, making the kid run away as he calls out. "See you at the costume contest!" "Nice try, Hex! But if you want to play with fire…." FLASH "Get ready to be 'Heat-blasted'!" Heatblast called out.

The monster breathes another stream of fire, which Heatblast counters with his own. The both canceled each other as some of the smoke blew into the Pyronite. "Gross! 'COUGH' Ever heard of mints? Hey, Ladybug! How about more lucky magic?"

Kate looks around and noticed the pillar is starting to crack, giving her an idea. "Pole-ius, Destruct-o!" She then secretly kick the cracks, sending the pillar apart and the monster tumbling down. "Whoa! How did you do that?!" Heatblast questioned with wide eye-sockets.

Kate turns and smirks. "Never underestimate the power of Ladybug's Lucky Charm!" "I don't know how, but it is Merlin's! Give me the wand, girl! Or-" Hex was suddenly blasted and flew backwards from a fireball from Heatblast. "Or else you get blindsided by hotness?"

Just then, the monster pops out of the rubble, only to get blown back by the Pyronite. "Ladybug! You get Hex out while I lay the beat down on Big Blue." Heatblast said and starts fighting the monster.

"Got it! Hey creep! You want your wand? Then come and get it!" Kate calls out as she runs away, with Hex following after her.


"Who's a big mean ogre? You are!" The monster was about to breath when Heatblast, quicker then it, blasted him on it's back again. "Sit! Stay!" He then hops on the beast with 2 fireballs in his hands. "Now, play dead!"

The monster knocks Heatblast off, sending him flying into the support beams on the ceiling. He landed on his feet, just as the monster jumps up and smashed him down.


"Mint condition collectibles!" A guy behind a stand said. The fighting duo then slammed into the table, nearing avoided the guy as they tumbled off somewhere. The guy merely wrote 'Nearly' on the sign. "NEARLY mint condition collectibles."


Kate kept running with Hex hot on her tail, only to reached 'Hall Z' with the doors still closed. "Oh no! Dead end." "The wand. Now." Hex demanded. Kate tries to think of a plan, looking around when she notices her 'Ladybug' theme watch. It starts beeping when it struck '2:00', making her smirk as she remembers something.

"Sure, if you can find me! Duplication self-is!" "Just as she said that, the doors open as piles of Ladybugs and Chat Noirs walked out of them, Kate has a smirk with half-lid eyes at change of pace. "A multiplying spell? The wand is more powerful then I though!" Hex commits as he keeps searching through the crowd.

"Hey Hex! Later!" Kate taunts as she heads through another sets of doors. She tumbles out and lands on a pile of trash bag, revealing that she exit through the back of the building. "Not my greatest exit." Just then, Hex burst through the doors, angry as his red magic swirls through his body with glowing eyes. "ENOUGH!"

"Give me that wand! I will turn you into a toad!" Kate starts running down the alleyway, dodging and swerving to avoid Hex's magic blasts. Just then… "LADY! DUCK!" Kate ducks as a blast of water nails Hex, sending him flying as Kate looks at Water Hazard.

"Ha-ha… 'Lady duck'. See what I did there?" An energy blast knocked Water Hazard off his feet as Hex rise up. "See what I did there? What to see it again?!" Water Hazard counts with another water burst, giving him and Kate time to run away from the dark wizard.

Water Hazard fires water while Hex retaliates." "Listen Hex! You- WHOA! As I was saying… You're out of your 'depth'! Get it? It's another pun! Cause- OOOFFF!" As Water Hazard was running backwards, he trips over a pile of garbage, sending him tumbling into the streets and next to the Rustbucket. "DAN!"

Suddenly, Red energy ropes ties around Water Hazard's legs, hoisting him upside down as Hex floats out of the alley with red magic engulfing his hands. "It appears your luck has run out! Get it?" "Hmm… I give an 'F-'. Because you're evil!"

Hex merely made more rope wrap around the alien as Kate holds the wand up. "Stay back, Hex! Or I will…" Hex grabs the fake wand and holds it up. "Or what? Beg for mercy?" He then flicks the wand, hoping to cast a spell to finish off the Tennysons… Only nothing happened.

He then tries a few times, only to widened his eyes in realization. "HAHAHAHA! Oh, you had me going there for a while! Good show, my girl!" Hex said as he claps in a sarcastic manner, floating down to the scared teen. "You were bluffing all along."

"But understand this." Hex then burned up the fake wand as magic surges through his body with his eyes glowing red. "I cannot allow this trickery to go unpunished!" Hex spat out as he glares at the Teen that has made a fool of him.

Kate's watched beeped again as it changed to '2:30', making her smirk once again. "Actually, I just wanted you outside for this! 'Undead Rise-us'!" Kate calls out as she holds her arms in a presenting fashion.

Only nothing happened as Hex merely snarls. "I am through with this game, child!" Kate merely counts down. "3… 2… 1…" She then points to her left, making Hex see a whole mob of people dressed as zombies, even making moans and groans as well as posing like the undead.

Hex gained a scared look as he back up, unaware of the alien being free until… "BOOO!" "GGAAAAHHHH!" Hex screamed out as Water Hazard laughs. "Oh, man! You should see the look on your face! HAHAHA! Priceless!" He then punches Hex, sending him tumbling into the middle of the zombie crowd.

Hex stands up with fear as the zombies surrounds him while adopting a terrified look. "The undead! Walking amongst us! Not even Merlin himself could-" "Hi!" Water Hazard did the same tricked again, scaring Hex even more. Water Hazard then sweeps his leg under Hex, sending him falling as the water alien punches him down. "Cool your jets! Hey, does that count as a pun? I'm still counting it." He commits as his sister stands near him with hands on her hips.

"Hey! I got to ask, sis. How did you make those Zombies appeared?" "I didn't. I just merely timed it by remembering the schedule. See? And a little bit of luck!" Kate said as she shows her pamphlet, opening to a page that says, 'Zombie Walk 2:30 PM'.

"Excellent work on capturing the Mage-lord Menace, Space Solder!" Water Hazard turns around to a blue wizard cosplayer with a camera along with the robot cosplayers from before. "You have dealt a devastating blow to evil with this victory! Mind if I get a shot for the Con-Book?

"Anything for my fans! Smile Hex!" Water Hazard calls out as he holds Hex up. FLASH The Camera catches the shot of Water Hazard, holding and presenting Hex while Kate gave a wink and a victory sign.

"Take him to the holding cells!" "Keep fighting to good fight, solder! You're doing the space future proud." Water Hazard salutes the solders as they were carrying the knocked-out wizard away. Just then, Water Hazard noticed the symbol was beeping, quickly rushing off to the Rustbucket to turn back. FLASH Dan got out, looking around to see no one has noticed him and walks back to Kate. "That was close! But one thing I don't get… If you had a fake wand, where was the real one?" "Hmm… I wonder if that kid knows?"


Back at the center, the monster was still rampaging until the blond kid from before shows up, having gotten back the real wand again. He then defeats the monster, turning it back into a cut-out which then turns into a pile of boxes. The onlookers cheered him on.


"I guess we'll never know." Dan shrugs, deciding to forget about it. "There you are!" Both kids noticed their Grandfather coming up to them with a photo in his hands. "You missed out of the action! Check this out! Only set me back $100!"

In the photo, Max is on the set of his show with the really old cast, kneeing while yelling, as if the worst possible thing as happened to him. "Boy, are we lucky or what? "Way lucky!" Dan winks to his sister as she smiles back.

As they were all waking to the Rustbucket, Kate was talking about Ladybug with her brother. "It's really cool that you finally respect Ladybug!" "Yeah, if she can be luckier then you were, then she wouldn't be half bad. Although, I am still 8 times the hero then her and Chat Not combined!"

"Of course, little brother." Kate amusingly responds as the both enters the RV as Max starts it up. As the Rustbucket drives away, Kate questions to her brother. "Hey, do you think we can actually meet Lady Bug and Chat Noir someday?" "Doubt it! You said it yourself. They live in French! They have no idea what is going on here in America!" Dan answers back as they all rode out of town.


But just as they passed last building out of town, they failed to noticed 3 figures looking at them from the roof. One of them is an old, Chinese person with a Hawaiian shirt. The other has a Chat Noir suit, only he has blond hair and taller then the others with green eyes that like a cat's.

The last figure is another Ladybug, only she has dark blue hair that 2 small pigtails near her neck. They all watched in smiles at the family vehicle. "You be very surprised on what we know, Daniel Tennyson." She then winks at the far-away kid hero.
