No no no no! Adrien thought, she's gone! I don't know Ladybug's identity so I can't contact her, what am I going to do? I need to find her! My illusion will be destroyed eventually… I need a lightbulb moment, come on world! Give me an idea, please…
Maybe I'll get an idea if I fly around. Plagg would probably be telling me how bad of an idea this, heh heh. Than something interrupted his thoughts, "beep beep!" His amulet sounded. Well I'll have to hurry up then, won't I? Adrien thought in humour, while he was preparing to leave, a rush of fear went through Adrien, maybe I should Ladybug deal with this but… No! I will not let fear consume me! no more scared and timid Adrien, I will break through this! I'll show the world! He vowed in strength and leaped off at speeds unreached by him before.
Adrien dodged cars and buildings with speed determined to find Ladybug, he zoomed past the TV Studio and finally had his wished-for lightbulb moment though, this idea is a bit crazy… Oh whatever I love living on the edge! He thought as he bounded in the prestigious building.
"hello? Hello?!" Adrien sounded throughout the building but unfortunately for Adrien his amulet beeped again, Nadja Chamack came to the desk
"how can I help y- "but then she stopped when she saw Adrien,
"are you a superhero? You look like that mysterious hero but you're different in colour and your outfit, wait are you ANOTHER hero?" She asked shocked,
"nope same mysterious hero, different form. Now can I please use the film room? I need a message to be delivered to Paris" Adrien chuckled but then his voice took a more serious tone,
"deal, on one condition you must allow me an interview" she bartered,
Now maybe if Raven was with him, he would've denied her offer but that stern side of him was gone…
"Deal then, honestly though media and their need for information is too strenuous on a superhero sometimes" Adrien sighed,
"ok rolling!" The cameraman that appeared out of no-where said,
"ok why are you in Paris?" Nadja asked,
"I've always been here, Paris is my home," Adrien answered,
Nadja appeared shocked but recomposed herself, "what compelled you to appear now?"
"The disappearance of Chat Noir and the appearance of the now defeated Sharpshot" He answered cooly,
"Sharpshot is gone?!" She questioned gobsmacked,
"yep but there's the bigger villain we gotta take care of now unfortunately"
"who?" She asked back,
"the guy who stole Chat Noir's powers" Adrien answered talking in disgust,
Nadja nodded, "ok, one more could you at least lift your helmet Mr Knight?"
"not yet, maybe after all this chaos maybe" Adrien answered, "now due to our agreement I'm allowed to use the studio yes?" Adrien said with a tinge of annoyance present in his voice,
Nadja nodded not catching the frustration of one Shadow Knight,
Adrien ran into the studio and prepared the camera switching it to an emergency setting and made sure he was streaming it to all of Paris, and then when he was ready and the camera was rolling he spoke, "people of Paris, may I have your attention?" Adrien spoke in an authoritative tone, "a new villain has been released in the Dupont Park, (the name of the park) he calls himself Zadicus and he is extremely dangerous, I have tried containing this villain but to no avail. If you are near the area please evacuate, furthermore I cannot defeat this villain alone. Ladybug has also disappeared, if you are watching this can you meet me at the usual place at the usual time to let me know you're alive Ladybug. Thank you for your cooperation" Adrien finished as a news crew member shut off the live streaming.
Zadicus was still fighting the illusion but fortunately for him, the message that Adrien sent out as Shadow Knight and he was MAD, "so you're a fake! How dare that stupid goody two-shoes deceive me!" Zadicus roared,
An explosion of darkness blasted on the battlefield and the illusion's dodging skills couldn't save him this time, as he was obliterated,
"now it's time for my revenge!" Zadicus vowed.
A man with the signature butterfly shaped mask stood in a room with a glass pane before him. The pane opened and an akuma flew to his staff and a message was shown to him "so the evil Chat Noir is going to strike soon, along with this Zadicus character… Those heroes are going to need a lot of help." Hawkmoth said as the glass pane shut itself again.
Adrien dropped his transformation when he got back to the mansion, his father was away on a business trip with Natalie, so he didn't need to worry. Prime did not come out of the miraculous when he de-transformed, he only felt really tired so he decided to set an alarm the fall asleep, is this how Prime or Plagg feel when I de-transform? Geez I'll never ignore his rants about cheese ever again, he thought as he drifted off the sleep...
Night soon fell and Adrien was waiting at the Eiffel Tower for Ladybug. Fortunately for him Ladybug came at the right time, "what happened earlier today? I was fighting this Ice Queen character and suddenly I'm here! My parents were so worried and you better have a better explanation then the one that you streamed to ALL OF PARIS!" Ladybug vented,
"well you wouldn't have a miraculous if I didn't show up after you were knocked out, for starters. She was defeated quite easily but I don't know where she is right now though, she was holding famous model Adrien Agreste captive- "Adrien explained but was cut off by,
"WHAT?! Adrien was kidnapped? Is he alright?" Ladybug worried showing off her Marinette side,
Adrien chuckled, his lady was panicking "he's alright, I told him not to tell his father though" Adrien lied,
Ladybug breathed a sigh of relief and then asked "who's Zadicus? I haven't heard of him yet," Ladybug asked with curiosity,
"I have a suspicion but all I know for certain is that he's extremely dangerous" Adrien answered thinking of Raven, "do you know what happened to Chat Noir? I heard his miraculous got stolen" Adrien asked, interested to see how much Ladybug knew about his disappearance,
"no, he went completely off the map while the ring is in some psycho villain's hands, I really hope he comes back. You wouldn't have a clue where he is do you?" Ladybug asked innocently,
Adrien was currently having a war inside his body, he was dying to just tell her that he was Chat Noir but he held back though he decided to say, "I know he's alive but I can't give you much information without revealing his identity" Adrien said,
Ladybug looked at the shadow hero with wide eyes but she understood what he meant, "so what's the plan than?"
"I prefer to wing it" Adrien chuckled.
Author's Note: Mostly just plot building for the final battle in this chapter, to be honest I kind of forgot about Hawkmoth. So I've given him the job of being a sneaky spy for now. I have planned the reveal thankfully, I was originally going to do it this chapter but I decided it was a bit too soon! Raven's gone evil, Adrien's mysterious, Marinette's (kind of) oblivious and Lucas is- Wait wrong story! ANYWAY ONE MORE THING! Should I do a filler chapter on Ladybug next chapter or just keep going where I'm going? (preparing for the final battle) Now that all the messages are gone, I got something to show you that I was just laughing so much over, aaand here it is!
Bonus Paragraph: (this is between Adrien's nap and Ladybug's meeting)
Adrien was dreaming of him as Chat Noir and Ladybug was beside him,
Ladybug's miraculous beeped and Adrien said "do you have to go milady?" Chat asked,
"no I'm to tired, let's just relax." Ladybug said as she put her head on Chat's shoulder,
Adrien was in heaven then finally after a few minutes Ladybug's form fell away to reveal...
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BE- SMASH!
Adrien was so angry at the alarm clock that he transformed, destroyed his mansion, the Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower, his school and all the houses of his classmates but he wasn't done. He took the soonest flight to New York City and destroyed The Statue of Liberty, The Empire State Building and every single skyscraper he could see and then he exploded, then the sky started lighting up, all the damage was fixed and Adrien was resurrected though his memory of the dream was erased. (Depending on how you see it this could be real)
Now that's out of the way...
