A smiling Plagg appeared, holding a exqusitive win bottle and two glasses, "Yes, my dear?". He dropped the wine bottle and glasses in surprise as he took the scene in, seeing Adrien, his family, Master Fu, and The Book, then a outraged, pissed off Tikki.
Tikki snarled as she shook in anger, "You shady son of a feline bastard! You cheated! AGAIN!". Plagg gasped like he was accused, "I did no such thing.". Tikki growled as she grabbed the animate snake off his shoulders, and transformed it back into the familiar staff, and Plagg winced, "Oh, that. It has a mind or two.".
Tikki snapped, "That is unforgivable!". Plagg protested, "Oh, please! I never sent that snake to Marinette, and I never gave the blade to Nathaniel!". He gasped, fumbled in realizement as he went too far. Tikki glared back at him, "What blade?". Plagg bit his lip, his ears flattened back in nervous fright, "The.. one I never gave him, ever, never. Who is this Nathaniel?".
Tikki grabbed his suit and faced him, her eyes bright as flames as Plagg whimpered in fear from his wife. "You gave the Blade of Immortal Life?!". Plagg whispered, "Yes.". Adrien was confused, voiced out, " 'The Blade of Immortal Life'?". Tikki looked back to explain, "Whoever wears it won't die or be injured.". Plagg chuckled nervously, and Tikki backhanded slapped him in the face, making Plagg yelp at the pain.
Tikki heard Camilia's voice, "My Lady, please, can you get me up?". Tikki smiled softly, floated Camilia up to their level, and Camilia slapped Plagg quite a few times until she finished, and bowed her head respectfully to Tikki, "Thank you.". She gave a sharp glance at Plagg who backed up slightly in feared respect. She was brought down to the floor as she replied sharply, "My son did not deserve this.".
Adrien pleaded, "Please, I have to go back.". Tikki sighed deeply and looked at Plagg, "It's only fair.". Plagg grumbled as he turned around, and Tikki chuckled, rubbing his ears gently, "Please, Chat Noir.". Adrien and the others echoed, "Chat Noir?". Plagg shook his head, "No. Never!". Tikki glared at him as she turned Plagg's face by grabbing his ears harshly, "You better do this!". Plagg's eyes narrowed in protest, "No.".
Adrien grinned as an idea came to him, "Hey, how about a deal?". Tikki and Plagg looked over in interest, "A deal?". Adrien nodded, "If I win, you give me my life back.". Plagg raised an eyebrow, twitched his whiskers, "You have nothing I want.". Tikki smiled as she interuppted, "But I do. If you win, Plagg, you can have both realms.". Adrien smirked as he flicked his ears, "I can do anything you ask, you just name it, and I will beat you.".
Plagg narrowed his eyes in thought as he rolled his staff in his hand. Fu frowned as he came over, "Are you sure of this, Adrien?". Adrien glanced at his mother who smiled encouragingly with a slight nod, and Adrien looked up at Plagg, "Do we have a deal?". Plagg exhaled, and nodded, "We have a deal. Now, tell me, boy. What keeps you at night, what eats at you from the inside, what, I pray, is your worst fear?".
Plagg leaned down, his eyes full feline and focused on Adrien whose reflection is looking back. Adrien flinched a bit, then glared at Plagg who smirked, "Got it.". He clicked his claws, and Adrien disappeared in a white flash. A merely few minutes passed when Adrien appeared in a large arena, familiar to Paris's arena. It was crowded up with all the people and animals of the Land of the People, with Tikki, Plagg, and Fu standing in a open podium.
"Adrien Agreste! You will have to defeat every beast that the Agreste family ever finished!". Plagg announced, piercing the air as numerous doors opened, revealing pissed off, angry, and outraged beasts; bulls, pigs, bears, wolves. The Agreste family gasped as they watched from their own podium, and Louis announced, "That's like thousands!". Plagg grinned as he announced further, "All at once! If you complete this task, you will live again, but if you fail, you will be forgotten..Forever.".
Fu shook his head in disbelief, "This cannot be done, impossible!". Adrien then focused on the task, dodging, slipping, twisting, flipping as the beasts ran to him from all around. Ivan encouraged him loudly, "You can do it!". Back down in Paris near the blossom tree, two village boys screamed in fear as a Akuma chased him, when suddenly a hand hit him backwards, revealing Gabriel, and Nathalie nearby. "Gabriel asked, "Are you two alright?".
One of the boys panted heavily, "Hawk Moth is coming with a whole army behind him!". Nathalie narrowed her eyes, "You two better warn Lord Tom.". The village boys ran off to Paris as Gabriel drew out his swords with Nathalie drawing out her own swords. Gabriel spoke, "Let's buy them some time, soeur.". The Akumas came over the slight hill, and Nathalie snarled, "Who wants to go first?".
The Akumas cackled as they let through Hawk Moth, and Gabriel sighed in submission that he and his sister is to fight Hawk Moth. Hawk Moth drew out his swords, exhaled, "I hate swordfighters.". Gabriel smirked as he narrowed his eyes, "Then come get some.". Hawk Moth yelled as he came forward, leaping toward the duo who leaped, moving to cut or slash Hawk Moth at least. The action caused two deaths which two candles in the Cave of Souls were doused out instantly.
