Chapter 13: The Past Test Pt.2
(With Phoenix)
Phoenix groaned as she opened her eyes as she looked around and saw she was in some sort of prison. She tried moving but felt she couldn't. She looked at her hands and saw they were bound by metal braces. She struggled to get out before she heard someone laughing and saw Dark Rose looking through his scrapbook.
"Don't you just love when People fall for each other then they spend countless hours with each other. In the end, they only get their hearts BROKEN" Dark Rose said as he shut his scrapbook angrily as he looked at Phoenix laughing who was still struggling to get out.
"Stop struggling my dear. This will make it all painful for you" He said to her as she looked down at him as he pulled out a rose.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Phoenix said as she kicked Dark Rose as he doubled over as he stayed holding his stomach then he began laughing.
"I warned you not to struggle. Let the games begin" Dark Rose said as the Black Rose turned into a stun baton as he turned the electricity to 5 Volts. He put it beside Phoenix head as she looked at it in fear behind her helmet.
"Now scream birdy. SCREAM!" He added as it showed blue volts from outside the prison as Phoenix screams were heard.
"AHHHHH" Phoenix screamed in pain as Dark Rose laughed maniacally.
(With Kendall)
Kendall groaned as he sat up as he rubbed his head.
"Thou glad thy is awake" A voice said as Kendall eyes snapped open as he looked in front of him and saw Sir Albert in front of him. He stood up as he looked at him as the events that happened came back to him.
"So…..Juleka is gone…He took her…And I was powerless to do anything" Kendall said his fists curled up into a ball. Albert looked at him sympathetically as he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I know what you're feeling right now. You feel weak. You feel as if there was something you could have done something" Albert said to him as Kendall looked away as he realized something.
"When were you able to start talking in Modern English?" Kendall asked his ancestor as he chuckled.
"Learned it from your memories actually" Albert said as Kendall chuckled before he looked down again.
"Kendall….This is only one of the tests that you will face in the long road you are on" Arthur said to him as Kendall looked at him with a questioning look.
"What do you mean one of the tests?" Kendall asked him.
"The path you are on will be filled with hardships and doubts. You will constantly doubts yourself and at some point, you'll go on a journey to find something" Albert told him as he looked at the floor in sadness.
"How am I supposed to save her then?" Kendall asked him as Albert looked at him.
"I'm afraid….that is something I cannot reveal. I can reveal however one event" Albert told him as he touched Kendall's forehead.
(Vision)
Kendall stood across a dark figure as he was dawned in new armor. He opened the side container of the gun he was holding and inserted a card. Around him Paris was burning as they stood on top of the Eiffel Tower.
"You will lose Dragon" The figure told him as he could himself glaring at the figure.
"That's where you're wrong…I'm not going down without a fight. The heroes of Paris sacrifices will not be in vain" Dragon told the figure as he closed the container.
RIDE: KNIGHT
His armor changed into a Knight Version as he was now holding a lance. He charged at the figure.
(End Vision)
Kendall shook his head as he was trying to warp his mind around what happened. He looked at Albert in question.
"What was that?" Kendall asked him quietly as Albert looked at him.
"That was a deciding point on what will happen in the future" Albert told him as he looked at him in shock.
"What do you mean?" Kendall asked before he noticed he was fading away.
"I'm sorry but you're time here is up" Albert told him as he faded completely
(Miraculous HQ)
Kendall eyes snapped open as he sat up as he looked around and saw he was back at the HQ. Cecilia and Master Fu beside him as he looked at them in question. He looked at them hoping that everything that might happen was just a dream. They looked away not being able to tell him as he understand one thing…..It wasn't a dream. He looked beside him and saw Marinette and Adrien looking at him with sympathetic looks as he tried to fight back the tears.
"DAMN IT!" Kendall yelled as he allowed himself to cry as he understand one thing. Everything that happened wasn't a dream and Juleka was taken because he couldn't doing anything. The others looked at him with worry. Adrien stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Kendall calm down…We'll find her but right now we need you to calm down" Adrien told him as Kendall stood up.
"I CAN'T CALM DOWN. JULEKA BEEN TAKEN TO WHO KNOWS WHERE AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING" Kendall yelled at him before Marinette went over and slapped him.
"SO YOU THINK BEING ANGRY WITH YOURSELF IS A SOLUTION. Kendall we need you to be calm and be able to fight against that Akuma. All of us are suffering right now because we let one of our own be taken" Marinette told him as he looked at her then at ground.
"I….I just need to be alone right now" Kendall told her as he left using the teleporter as they looked at each.
"Do you think Kendall will be okay?" Adrien asked them as Master Fu looked at where Kendall once was.
"Only time will tell my child. Only time will tell" Master Fu said as they teens looked at each other in worry.
(With Kendall)
Kendall looked over Paris as Ryu floated beside him. The lights of the city illuminated the city in the night. A long silence filled between them as Ryu tried to find the right words to be said.
"I'm sorry Kendall about what happened" Ryu said as Kendall's hair shadowed his eyes.
"It wasn't your fault. It was mine" Kendall said to his partner quietly.
"None of us could have foreseen this. All we could do now is hope we will be able to find her in time" Ryu spoke as Kendall stayed quiet as the kwami sighed.
"Look in front of you. This city shines bright at night with hope for a better tomorrow despite everything it faced. We serve as it's protector and no matter what, WE cannot allow ourselves to lose hope when we lose." Ryu said.
"I just wish we could have done something" Kendall said as Ryu looked at him.
"We couldn't but right now. We need to find her" Ryu said as a tear fell from Kendall's face.
"I know but I could have done something...I could have...I could have stopped it" Kendall said as he began crying as he collapsed on his knees.
"You could have but we cannot change the past. We can only build a better future" Ryu said as Kendall wiped his tears away as he had a somber as he nodded.
"I just need to be alone right" Kendall said as Ryu went inside the jacket pocket as he made himself comfortable.
"Alright...I'll be here then if you need me" Ryu said as he fell asleep as Kendall looked at the moon.
'Juleka...Please hold on, I'll be there soon' Kendall thought as he went down and walked through the city.
(With Phoenix)
"AHHHHHHH!" Phoenix screamed as Dark Rose shocked her again as he stopped giving her a crazed grin. Phoenix armor was smoking in various places as parts of her helmet was cracked revealing her eyes.
"You're one stubborn bird aren't you? Don't worry...We'll break through that soon" Dark Rose said as he left for the night. Her armor deformed as Selene landed weakly on her shoulder
"How are you holding up Selene?" Juleka asked her partner in concern. Both of them weren't in the best of conditions due to Dark Rose.
"A bit weak but I can survive. I'm more worried about you" Selene said trying her best to fly.
"I'm fine. We just need to hold on Selene, they'll come for us soon" Juleka told her partner weakly as there were bruises that were caused from Dark Rose shocks.
"I'm trying Juleka...I just feel so weak right now..." Selene answered weakly as she fell asleep as Juleka looked at her partner in concern. She just hoped that they were able to get away in time.
"They'll come for us soon...Just hold on Selene. I need to do the same since we're stronger if we worked together" Juleka whispered as she coughed painfully as he looked at the moon through a hole that shined through her prison.
'Kendall...Please hurry. I can't keep holding on for long...Where are you?" Juleka thought weakly
(With Kendall)
Kendall heard some music playing and recognized it as he looked at ground sadly.
"Of course. It had to be the song me and Juleka loved from Serendepity" Kendall said as he sighed as he walked through the park
(AN: Play The Distance by Evan and Jaron. Also...I might make my own version of Serendepity using the characters from either stories. Tell me what you think if I should do this in the future)
The sky has lost its color
The sun has turned to gray
At least that's how it feels to me
Whenever you're away.
Kendall looked at the park seeing a couple having fun as he thought back to when he and Juleka spent the day there. He felt like a part of him was missing when he realized she was taken and there was nothing he could do. Now she might be who knows where. He just wanted her to be here by his side again.
I crawl up in the corner
To watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time you're coming back
He just wanted to go home and look at the clock. Just wanting time to go by faster than ever and just save her. He promised her he'll be there when she needed him and now...there was nothing he could do but just wait. He knows it was close but he hates how much time they needed to be apart.
I cant take the distance
I cant take the miles
I cant take the time til i next see you smile
I cant take the distance
I'm not ashamed
that with every breath I take, I'm calling your name
I can't take the distance
He just wanted her to be here. He didn't want to admit it but he just can't stand the thought of her being somewhere and how many miles she might be. He just wanted to see her smile again. The same smile that always gave him the knowledge he will always be loved by her. He just wanted to call out her name and see if she was near. He wouldn't be ashamed because then he'll know she's just near.
(With Juleka)
Juleka begin to think about what she and Kendall had. The relationship they had so far.
I still believe my feelings
but sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me
but it aint close enough
Not NEARLY close enough
Juleka felt that what they had was special to not only her but to Kendall as well. Call her too much in touch with her feelings but Kendall always made her feel that no matter what he was just close by. She just wanted him to be here by her side telling her everything will be okay even if it isn't. She knows that while they might be close but it just wasn't enough for her at times.
I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time til I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
I'm not ashamed
That with every breath I take I'm calling your name
I can't take the distance
The distance
Juleka just wanted to be back in his arms safe and the feeling that they might be growing apart just gone. She just wanted to see him give her that genuine smile that always told her that he'll be there for her. She won't be ashamed but she just wanted to call out his name and he'll appear beside her. She just can't stand the thought of her being away from him from who knows how far.
I'd brave fire and
I'd brave rain
to be by your side I'd do anything.
I can't take the distance.
Both thought of crossing through the fire and rain. If it just means that she will be able to see him again. Just be by his side, no matter how much she'll have to fight. He will fight of everything that just stands in his way of finding her, even if it means defying God himself. He just wanted her to be here by his side.. They just wanted to find each other and be safe with each other
I will go the distance
I will go the miles
That's how much you mean to me
Both just wanted to tell each other. How much they love each other and tell them that no matter what happens. No matter how far they are. They'll only be the person that he/she will love forever.
Cuz I can't take the distance
I can't take these miles
I can't take the time til I next see you smile
I can't take the distance
I'm not ashamed
With every breath I take I'm calling your name
I can't take the distance
(It's hard to remember)
(As long as you're away)
(But then I find solace)
(There's only one, only one)
(With Juleka)
"Kendall...I know you'll come. I have faith in you. I love you so much and I just know you'll be here soon. I can trust you all to fight even me. I love you Kendall" Juleka weakly said as she felt herself fall asleep with the thoughts of Kendall coming soon for her as the last thoughts she had for the night.
(With Kendall)
Kendall looked at the moon as he had his hand over his heart.
"Juleka...I promise I'll find you. I don't care who I have to go through even if it means I have to fight God himself. I'll save you" Kendall said determined as he went back to Miraculous HQ. He still remembered what she made him promise.
Flashback:
Kendall and Juleka walked away from the group as Juleka looked at him.
"Kendall I want you to promise me something" Juleka said as Kendall looked at her curiously
"What is it?" Kendall asked softly as Juleka gave him a sad smile.
"Promise me...If we ever have to fight...If he somehow caught me and turned me to his side...I want you to fight me and make sure that I won't be able to hurt the others" Juleka told him as Kendall's eyes widen in shock.
"Juleka you know I can't. I don't want to fight you...I don't want to hurt you" Kendall told her as she placed a hand on the side of his face. Her copper eyes looking into his Silver ones with sadness.
"I want you to promise...please" Juleka said sadly as Kendall placed his own hand over hers
"I promise" Kendall told her as she gave him a small smile as they went back to the group.
End of Flashback
(Miraculous HQ)
It's been a few days ever since the incident. Kendall came back and what they saw wasn't the same leader that they had. They saw a Dragon that wanted nothing more than to find the one he loves. They started to work day and night searching through every inch of Paris for even one clue. Cecilia was going through the archives and recent radio transmissions when she caught something.
"Hey guys, come back to HQ" Cecilia said as the three teens teleport in as they ran towards the computer.
"What did you find?" Kendall asked her as she showed an audio clip to them.
"This Audio Clip was taken 32 Hours ago. Listen" Cecilia said as she played the audio clip.
(Audio Clip)
"Well Little Birdie...You're one hard Bird to break" A voice taunted.
"I'll never break..They'll find me...I can feel it...They're close...You'll be found Dark Rose" A second voice said sounding more feminine and familiar
"Don't worry...I have a little maze set up for them...They will not escape this place with their Kwami and their lives...So let's continue playing Phoenix" Dark Rose said as he laughed evilly as they heard Phoenix screaming in pain
(End Audio Clip)
Their eyes widen as Kendall began to tremble both in anger and worry. The others looked at him as Adrien placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"Where are they?" Kendall asked hoping to finally get the rescue started and get the Akuma.
"Hang on..." Cecilia said as she began working on the computer as it traced it back to the location "Got it. They're at the Catacombs"
"Right...It's time to go rescue a member and pull of a miracle" Kendall said as they stood beside each other as their Kwami partners floated beside them.
"It's time Kendall...keep a calm mind and we can succeed" Ryu said to his partner.
"Remember Marinette focus. This time we can't afford any mistakes" Tikki told her partner as she got a nod in confirmation.
"We got this Adrien. Stay calm and level headed" Plagg said as Kendall looked at his two teammates.
"Alright team. It's Miracle Time" Kendall said to his partners as their respective items glowed.
"RYU/ TIKKI/ PLAGG. MIRACULOUS FORM!" They shouted as they transformed into their hero forms and was about to head out before Master Fu stopped them.
"Stop...While it might be crucial to head in now. This trap has me worried so I went out and found a new Kwami and Cecilia my dear. I think it's time for you to become her partner" Master Fu said as he opened the box as the Kwami became a blur and landed a Tiara with a gem in the center on Cecilia head. It landed on her shoulder as it revealed to be a Silver and White Hawk.
"Meet the Hawk Kwami, Artemis" Master Fu said as Artemis looked at her new partner and gave her a gentle smile.
"Nice to meet you. Hopefully we can get along well" Artemis said to her new partner as Cecilia gave her a smile.
"Of course we will" Cecilia responded as the heroes gave a smile at the newest addition to the team.
"Now Cecilia...Say 'Artemis Wings Out' to Transform and claim your title to be the hero. Lady Hawk" Master Fu said as Cecilia nodded.
"ARTEMIS WINGS OUT!" Cecilia shouted as Artemis went inside the gem as it turned White as Cecilia transformed into Lady Hawk. Her hero suit consisted of a White Body suit that reaches to her neck and two gold forearm guards. Her white helmet was designed to look like a Hawk with gold trims around the face as the visor and mouth guard opened revealing her face as in the center of her body was a hawk symbol.
(AN: Think of the Red Ninja Storm Ranger Suit but the colors are white for the red and silver for the gold)
"This is awesome" Cecilia said as she gave the group a huge smile as they returned it before they got serious as Cecilia closed her face visor as they looked at Master Fu.
"I've uploaded the coordinates inside your helmet. The rest is now up to you. I was able to modify your motorcycles to be faster and have more control" Master Fu said as their new bikes appeared. Each one was designed to look like the animal they were representing as they were in their respective colors as Cecilia looked at her uncle.
"Don't worry my dear. I was able to make this. Allow me to introduce the MiraCycle" Master Fu said as a dirt bike appeared designed to look like a hawk and with her signature colors.
"I wish you luck and may the odds be in your favor" Master Fu said as the teens hopped on their motorbike as they started to leave the base and go through the portal leaving Master Fu alone as he began working on his project.
(Catacombs)
The Heroes arrived at the entrance of the Catacombs as they heard their communicators go off as they answered it.
"Go for Team" Dragon said as Master Fu spoke to them.
"I'm getting a strange reading around the Catacombs. Once you enter, you will have no form of communication until further notice" Master Fu said as they looked at each other.
"We understand Master Fu. Thank you" Cat Noir said as they looked at each other as they entered the Catacombs as the door behind them was forced to close. They began looking around cautiously before light filled the area as a hologram of Dark Rose appeared before them.
"Hello Team Miraculous. I've been expecting you" Dark Rose said darkly giving them a crazed grin. They pulled out their weapons as they looked at Dark Rose.
"Where's Phoenix?" Dragon asked cautiously as Dark Rose chuckled darkly as four paths were shown before them.
"You see. I want to play a game. Complete it, you'll pass through where you'll meet me. Fail then you'll lose not only your Kwami but you'll be stuck here. FOREVER!. Also if that's not enough, I placed multiple bombs around Pari. If you don't play my game...You can say goodbye to Paris...HAHAHAHAHA" Dark Rose laughed as the hologram disappeared leaving them looking at the paths as they look at each other.
"I guess we have no choice but to split up" Lady Hawk said as they chose their paths and walked through it as a door closed behind them.
(With Ladybug)
Ladybug looked around the dark place as she heard something from behind as she turned around and her face became pale.
"No...No...NO!" Ladybug said as she walked backwards seeing her family and the ones she cares about Akumatized walking towards her as she heard HawkMoth laughing. She looked around and saw Paris burning to the ground.
"YOU FAILED LADYBUG! YOU COULDN'T PROTECT THOSE YOU CARE ABOUT AND YOU FAILED TO PROTECT PARIS!" HawkMoth yelled at her as she tripped over a rock as she tried to get away from her worst fears.
"This can't be...I was able to save them. How did this happen?" Ladybug asked herself in fear seeing People akumatized. They charged at her as she began fending them off not wanting to hurt them.
(With Cat Noir)
Cat Noir walked through the hallway as he looked infront of him then he saw he was now outside of the catacombs and saw his father looking at him in disappointment.
"You are just a mistake...You should have never been born" Gabriel told his son as he began walking away as Cat Noir looked at him with wide eyes.
"Dad...Why? Come back" Cat Noir said as he began chasing his father before he looked to his left and saw Marinette looking at him angrily.
"I don't know why I ever loved you" Ladybug said as she charged at Cat Noir as he pulled out his spear and began to parry with Ladybug as she blocked her strikes as he looked at her in shock.
"Why is this happening? What did I do to deserve this?" Cat Noir asked as he blocked another strike.
(With Lady Hawk)
Lady Hawk was looking around surveying her surroundings when she looked in front of her she saw a light.
"What is this...Did I accidentally choose a path that leads to an exit?" Lady Hawk asked herself as she went through and saw that around her were rubble and one specific design caught her eye.
"No...Miraculous HQ...It's gone" Lady Hawk said as she kept walking before she saw Master Fu underneath a slab of stone as she went over and pushed the stone aside as she checked on her uncle.
"Master Fu?" Lady Hawk asked as she checked her pulse and found none. She heard footsteps behind her and her eyes widen beneath her helmet.
"You're supposed to be sealed...How did you get out?" Lady Hawk asked scared as she pulled out her shield ready to fight.
(With Dragon)
Dragon looked around as the lights turned on and he saw he was in some arena type location. Dark Rose appeared in front of him and gave him a sadistic grin.
"Welcome to the Arena...I have a very Special opponent for you" Dark Rose said as he disappeared into the stands as a door opened and Dragon looked at it in both anger and fear.
She was dressed in a full dark crimson body suit with a Black Phoenix like armor on her chest. The wings extended to form her shoulder guards. Her forearms were covered in Black Guards and a Black belt was around her waist. Black and Red Combat boots that reached her feet and their were diamond patterns that reached her belt. Her helmet was now a dark crimson with a Phoenix shaped Visor as she held a shield that held a sword as she pulled it out pointing it at Dragon.
"Meet...Dark Phoenix" Dark Rose said as he laughed evilly as Dragon looked at the figure in shock.
