Hello, and I'm back with another chapter of My Cousin is a robot?! I hope you like it!
I just finished one of my other fanfics, so if you like Fairy Tail, you should read it!
Anyway. I'm really bad with procrastination, and I should probably be working on my one shot...but at the same time, I'm just gonna write this.
I don't own Miraculous Ladybug or any anime that I reference here!
Enjoy!
"How can you be so pawsitive that I'll lose?"
"Because your puns are clawsitively mewnding!"
"Oh yeah? Because I am the mewster of chat puns!"
"Purrlease. I am the clawsolute BEST!"
And this is the,moment that Ladybug-along with Carapace, Rena Rouge, and Queen Bee-showed up at the scene, just to hear the last of their puns. Ladybug groaned.
WHY ARE THEY SAYING PUNS?! Ladybug thought angrily.
Ladybug and the other three landed, and Chat Noir and Dragoness looked at them.
"Ladybug!" Chat Noir said. "You're back!"
Dragoness shrugged, looking at Chat Noir. "And...it's a tie."
"No!" Chat Noir said, looking back to her. "I won!"
"No, it's a tie," Dragoness said, then looked over Ladybug, Carapace, Rena Rogue, and Queen Bee. "I see kindness in your heart, yours, yours...ah!" She held out her hand, gesturing at Queen Bee. "You."
Queen Bee gulped just as Dragoness snapped her fingers, and Queen Bee was suddenly transformed into a small dragon. The dragon flew to Dragoness's side, joining the other three.
Rena Rouge's eyes grew wide. "So we're fighting dragons?"
"We do not have to fight," Dragoness said, holding out her hand. "You could give me your miraculouses, and then this fight could be over just like that."
"No," Ladybug said, getting into a fighting stance. "Because we are going to win."
Dragoness sighed. "Then so be it."
And with that, they started to fight.
(I really suck with fighting scenes, so I'm going to skip past to when Ladybug breaks the necklace.)
Ladybug took her yoyo. "No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Now, time to deevilize!" She grabbed the akuma with her yoyo. "Gotcha!" She released the akuma. "Bye bye little butterfly." She took her lucky charm object. "Miraculous Ladybug!" She threw it up, and Paris began to fix itself. Dragoness turned back into Lunette, and the dragons-she had gained more during the fight-turned back to normal. Queen Bee instantly walked over to her friend just as Lunette shook off the last of the transformation, then looked around, blinking.
The superheroes all fistbumped. "Pound it!" The miraculouses started to beep.
"Well, gotta run!" Chat Noir said. "See you all next time!" He left.
Ladybug looked at Carapace and Rena Rogue. "I'll come get your miraculouses after a little while, ok?"
The two nodded, then left. Ladybug looked at Queen Bee, who was kneeling next to Lunette"Are you alright?" Queen Bee asked carefully. "I...um...heard that you were a robot that was breaking down."
"Most of my systems seem to be fully function, although I guess that my voice box still needs fixing," Lunette said, her voice still robotic. "Thank you for asking."
"You're welcome," Queen Bee said with a smile. "Um...you can get home by yourself, right?"
"Of course I can," Lunette said. "But thank you again for asking." She stood up, then began to walk away.
Queen Bee turned to Ladybug and nodded. With that, the two of them left.
Lunette looked after them, then, with a smile on her face, continued to walk home.
After school…
At about lunch time, all of the students of Miss Bustier's class had finally come back to the school-a few had turned off their phones, so it had been a little harder to contact them, and Marinette had to return the miraculouses, but the class had finished out the school day.
Marinette started to walk home, but a hand on her shoulder stopped her. She turned to see…
...Chloe?
"What's up, Chloe?" Marinette asked, thinking about how she had apologized to Lunette and had almost refused the miraculous because she felt so bad-in reality, it was kinda hard not to kinda want to listen to Chloe at that moment.
"Um...would it be alright if I come talk to Lunette quick?" Chloe asked. "I want to apologize about what happened earlier."
Marinette seemed to think for a few seconds, then nodded. "But if she asks you to leave, you'll have to leave. Alright?"
Chloe nodded, then the two walked to Marinette's house.
At Marinette's.
The two walked into the bakery, then into the back, where Sabine was trying to fix some wires in Lunette's back.
Lunette looked up at Chloe and Marinette. "School already done?" Her voice was still robotic.
Sabine looked up. "Oh, hi, Marinette...Chloe? What are you doing here?"
"I-I came to say sorry," Chloe said, looking fully at Lunette. "I shouldn't've dug into business that I wasn't part of. I never should have printed off those articles and brought them to school. And I'm really sorry."
"It is alright," Lunette said, surprising Chloe.
"Y-You forgive me, just like that?" Chloe asked, surprised.
"Of course," Lunette said. "Why would I not?"
"Do you really understand what happened today?" Marinette asked. "You were akumatized into-"
"Yes, I am well aware of what happened to me," Lunette said. "It was very...educational."
"How could it have been educational?" Chloe asked, confused. "You don't remember it."
"I am programmed to record everything that I see and send it to my hard drive," Lunette said. "My time as Dragoness was uploaded there, and all I had to do was watch what happened to remember everything. Very useful seeing as my hard drive is connected to a computer that will allow my creator to make me again should I fail."
"So...you weren't in any actual danger?" Chloe asked, slightly relieved.
"Seeing as he is in jail at the moment, it would have taken years before he could check the computer to see that I failed, and even then, it would take him quite some time to remember how to recreate a robotic version of myself," Lunette said. "Being able to turn bullies into dragons was a very stress relieving event."
Chloe and Marinette exchanged glances with each other and Sabine, then looked back at Lunette.
"You remember?" Marinette asked quietly. "Then...you remember Hawkmoth."
"Yes, I do," Lunette said. "He was rather polite, strangely-I could see why people listen to him while knowing that he turns people into villains. I was breaking down and I was feeling sadness over breaking down knowing that I was potentially close to it."
"Lunette, there's something that we need to know," Marinette said. "You have a voice recognition software-we both know that you do. So. Who. Is. Hawkmoth?"
"My voice recognition software was breaking down with the rest of me," Lunette said.
"Oh," Marinette said.
"Fortunately, I was able to still match his voice," Lunette said, data running through her eyes to the rest of her head. "How strange. Some of my data has been corrupted. Switching to folder data." More data swarmed through her head, then she seemed confused, then her eyes lit up. "Ah-ha! Data corruption found. Database fixing quick...Hawkmoth's folder combined with...huh? Is this an error?"
"What?!" Chloe, Marinette, and Sabine exclaimed.
"Folder combined with...Gabriel Agreste?" Lunette asked.
"Can't be-he was the Collector," Marinette sighed. "Which means that we have no clue."
"My database has never errored before," Lunette said. "Not like this. Which means that I was trying to either leave a hint to who Hawkmoth was-for some reason leaving it with Gabriel Agreste-or I was trying to say that they are one and the same."
"I hate to say it, but you haven't exactly been around for so long with your systems," Sabine said. "And you were breaking down...that's a serious accusation."
"Based on legitimate evidence I collected, and including the fact that I still can semi-remember Hawkmoth's voice-I believe my analysis is correct," Lunette said.
"But he was Collector," Marinette said.
"Is there some superhero supervillain manual that says that Hawkmoth could not akumatize himself?" Lunette asked.
Marinette opened her mouth as if to say something, then paused, eyes wide.
"I don't think there is one," Marinette said, her face becoming pale.
Unless it's in the Miraculous book, Marinette thought.
Suddenly, Tikki poked out.
"Actually, there have been holders of the Moth Miraculous that have akumatized themselves in the past…" Tikki said while Sabine and Chloe nearly screamed, scrambling away from Tikki.
"Tikki!" Marinette exclaimed. "You aren't supposed to show yourself around others!"
"Sorry," Tikki said. "I just had to speak up."
"T-That's a kwami," Chloe stammered. "M-Marinette, why do you have a kwami?"
"Noted-called a kwami-name Tikki?" Lunette asked.
Tikki nodded at Lunette. "I've been wondering if you already knew everything."
"I have voice recognition softwares, as well as facial recognition softwares," Lunette said. "I try to keep my mouth shut, but I know the secret identity of each superhero of Paris."
"Wait, what's going on?" Sabine asked. "Why is there a large floating bug that's talking?"
"I'm called a kwami," Tikki said.
"They grant superpowers," Chloe breathed, suddenly realizing what this meant.
"Superpowers?" Sabine asked, her eyes widening. "As in...Ladybug and Chat Noir superpowers?"
"You're Ladybug," Chloe said, her eyes wide.
Marinette sighed. "Yeah. I'm Ladybug. But don't tell anyone! If you don't mind."
"I just want to know exactly what's going on," Sabine said. "You're Ladybug? And how did you know what a kwami is? And what does that even mean?"
"Kwami is an alternate of the word 'kami,' which means God in Japanese," Lunette said, data in her eyes. "Which means that their powers are almost given to them by small god-like creatures that take the form of small animals."
"Seriously, you're a little too smart," Chloe said.
"Walking computer trying to re-understand human emotions and actions," Lunette said. "But anyway." She looked at Sabine. "Yes, Marinette is Ladybug-to answer that question. And as for why Chloe knows that term…" She looked at Chloe. "Would you like to explain?"
Chloe sighed. "I-I'm Queen Bee."
Sabine's mind was clearly at its breaking point at this point as she looked back and forth between Chloe and Marinette, glancing at Tikki every so often. It was clear that she was still just trying to process the information.
"H-How?" Sabine finally asked.
Marinette took a deep breath. "I should probably tell this entire story to you and dad-you too, Lunette." She looked at Chloe. "I'm not completely sure if you want to be here, too…"
"If you don't mind," Chloe said.
"Are you sure?" Marinette asked. "I mean, if you need to go, I can give the full explanation…"
"I don't need to be home anytime soon," Chloe said. "I sent daddy a text saying that I was planning on taking a while with something." She sighed. "I want to apologize to Sabrina, too, but I don't know how...I mean, she hates me now, so…"
"Saying sorry can go a very long way," Lunette said. They all looked at her. "Before everything happened, people shoved me through the hallways without a care, and they never said a word to me. The only reason I didn't consider...well...everything, beforehand, was because of a boy who accidentally bumped into me and said sorry. That kindness was enough to make me help him in everyway that I could."
"Really?" Chloe asked. "I don't think that would work with Sabrina, though...I've been so mean to her...for so long…"
"You'll never know until you try," Lunette said.
Chloe smiled. "Thanks, Lunette."
Lunette smiled. "So, how about you two start? I believe that this will be a long story indeed."
Marinette and Chloe exchanged a look, then nodded.
"But first, I'll go get Tom," Sabine said, standing up and walking away. All of them knew that this was going to take a while.
And that's it for this chapter! What did you think?
I'm going to work on my one-shot-no promises, seeing as I'm also planning on two, three...ok, four other stories...I need to get better at managing this...but oh well. Until next time!
Lunetheart out.
