Cadic Academy:

Odd runs a hand through his, at the moment, unstyled hair, and Jeremie was in fact, with Aelita's help, working on an akumatized victim finder. If Jeremie could create a program to return Aelita to Earth, one to scan for activated towers on Lyoko, then he could create one to scan for akumatized victims. Finding out that two of his friends happened to be Miraculous Holders gave him all the incentive he needed to come up with one, and once he was trusted by all the Holders he could easily send alerts to whomever was closer at the moment. It would make things so much easier, even if Ladybug's Lucky Charm was the only item amongst the Miraculous Holders that could purify the akuma, the other Holders could easily keep the situation contained. He and Ulrich would be making their way to Monet Academy of Art and Academics once again. Still, it was rather nice that they knew whom some of the other Miraculous Holders happened to be.

He really hadn't been expecting Chat Noir to be Adrien Agreste of all people. Apparently Adrien used Chat Noir as his way of being able to actually act like a normal teen. There was so much pressure on him as his civilian persona that he let himself act like himself as Chat Noir. Odd knew just how much trust Chat was showing in him as Lynx as well.

Juuban:

Sailor Mercury curses long and loud as she and Mars deal with the latest threat, the Dream Princess at Dream Land had been a damned youma, and Dark had a theft that night. Mercury's Aqua Mist wasn't helping, and she had no time to discern their enemies weakness as it was all Mars could do to keep breaking them out of the illusions she dropped them in. Mercury hits the astronomical sign for Neptune in the distress signal format, hoping to hell Sailor Neptune could get there to help them. " Any ideas? " Mars asks her.

" Hope to hell Sailor Neptune can get here, I need time to find the damned weakness with my computer, time I'm not being afforded at the moment. " Mercury says, highly put out because of this fact.

Mars pulls a face, she could barely make use of her talismans at the moment, and it was taking a lot out of her to keep breaking those damned genjutsus this youma was so fucking fond of using. The youma was essentially a Mist, which meant she liked screwing with their minds simply because she could. Yes, Mars was also a fan of Katekyo Hitman Reborn as well, she'd so love to meet Hibari Kyouya if only because he loathed dealing with weak minded herbivores. Like Kyouya she was very much a Carnivore, though even she could admit to herself that she was not an alpha bitch. Oh, she could verbally tear someone shreds just as viciously as the Venusians could, but she knew she was not leader material. She could step up temporarily if need be, but she could not be a permanent leader.

There was also the fact that she could not afford to use too much more spiritual power or her last life could get free. No way in Tartarus was she letting that absolute bitch get out! Flarea was a Hestia be damned sycophant! Her last life also had no Hephaestus be cursed survival instincts. Where Mercurians generally swore in Hermes name Martians would swear in Ares, Hephaestus, Hestia, and Apollo's names since Martians were generally warriors, had fire powers, and the ability of premonition as well in some form. Apollo happened to be a God of Sun and Prophecy, Hestia the Goddess of Home and Hearth, meaning fireplaces, Ares the God of War, and his Roman name was Mars, and Hephaestus the God of Fire, Metalworking, Stone Masonry, Forges, and Sculpture, hence why all of them were used by Martians to pray to, swear to, and call upon for guidance as well.

Both senshi fall under another illusion, and Mars sighs, " Hit each other, because I doubt either of us want Flarea getting out of the prison I have her in. "

Mercury was quick to agree with that sentiment, and they both whack each other upside the head just as a blue sphere of magically charged water slams into the Dream Princess. Mercury summons her visor, and starts typing. Her eyes light up, " Mars, Neptune, the apple! It's her source of power! "

The other two senshi act immediately, Mars going in for hand to hand combat, mostly because she was not going to let Flarea out of her mental prison. Neptune blinks at this, Mars was a sniper, why the hell was she going in close. At least that was her thought process until after they destroy the Dream Princess, " I have my last life locked up in a mental prison, and have to be very careful about how much power I use, or the sycophantic bitch will get out again. " Mars deadpans at the look on Neptune's face.

Neptune shudders, she well remembered Princess Flarea, " Understood, where's Dark, hasn't he been helping you two? "

" He had a theft tonight, another piece of artwork was coming to life. " Mercury answers in regards to her lover's whereabouts.

Neptune pauses, " He has an actual reason for stealing what he does? "

" Yes, he does. Apparently the Hikari clan has this ability to replicate any piece of artwork they see, and for bringing it to life as well. Dark's job is to steal it so the rival family can seal it, and make sure it doesn't cause any problems. " Mercury states.

" Huh, did not expect that. " Mars admits, " Evil artwork, so the Hikari clan is similar to that guy Sai from Naruto, right? "

" Very much so. " Mercury says, " We need to get out of here. "

" You need me, just call me, though Uranus is very close to waking up. " Neptune states.

Mars and Mercury groan, " I hope to Hermes/Apollo that Venus is here before that happens. Your partner is an arrogant pain in the ass that regularly needs her ego handed to her. "

Neptune has the grace to look sheepish at this, Princess Bāẏu of Uranus was extremely proud of her skills in combat, it had taken Sailor Venus to knock her off her damned High Horse when she got on it. Neptune would admit to the fact that she allowed her lover's ego to inflate her own occasionally back then.

Paris:

Hawkmoth frowns at the hellacious abomination that Chat Noir had sent his way. Had he known, but alas he had not. If he could give his past self one bit of advice, it would be to not piss off Chat Noir. What the hell had he been thinking by going after Ladybug like that? To be fair, he hadn't known going after Ladybug would unleash Chat Noir's very violent and protective instincts. Had he read Katekyo Hitman Reborn he would have noticed that Chat Noir acted very much like an Inverted Cloud, highly territorial of those he cared about, and Paris as well. There was a reason other than Diana that the Milieu kept their transactions out of Paris. No one was suicidal enough to piss off the wielder of such destructive magic. The Denizens of the Underworld knew that the rumor that Chat Noir damn near killed a serial killer for going after Ladybug was fact. The different Bosses of the Milieu Crime Families had already sent the word out that Paris was off limits unless someone wanted to Piss Off Chat Noir, or Ladybug.

Ladybug was almost worse to piss off, mostly because she was also a card carrying member of the Sorcerers' Guild. You never pissed off a sorcerer or sorceress, unlike witches and wizards, they had the magical power to back up their threats, and generally had nasty tempers to boot. Plus, members of the Sorcerers' Guild, well, they generally told the Ministries where to shove their inbred opinions. Now, the Sorcerers' Guild happened to work very closely with the Demon Hunters' Guild, and both Guilds were ready to go to war with the Exorcists associated with the Vatican, and True Blood Academy save for the Okumura Twins, and their adoptive father. They actually fully dealt with problem entities, and the adoptive father of the Twins never took out their paternity on them, never placed the sins of their sire on them either. This meant those three would be exempt, when the Exorcists finally pissed off the Sorcerers' and Demon Hunters' Guilds.

The Exorcist branch of the Demon Hunters' Guild, well, they were just pissed that those trained at True Cross Academy were so damned lazy! The Underworld Denizens kept apprised of what was going on in the supernatural communities if only so they knew when to duck and cover. They may be criminals, but most of them actually had Common Sense! No way in hell were they going to piss off the Power Couple of Paris. Not when Chat had casually told the moron that had gone after Ladybug that the Cataclysm was originally an assassination technique, then it's capacity to destroy other things was discovered. Most whom received the Ladybug Earrings refused to end a threat permanently, that was where the Holder of the Black Cat Ring came in, they generally had no problems with ending a threat permanently. Ladybug was the Healer, and Chat the Protector. Even when Chat Noir had been on the Moon, or rather the previous Holders of the Ring, they had still been in the Protector role, the Heiress, and rare Heir to the Silver Moon Queendom's throne, and keeping said heir/heiress from snapping, and destroying the universe as they knew it.

When the Holder of the Ring got that job permanently, the only lull being when a new recipient needed to be chosen...well, that was where the Tiger Miraculous Holder stepped in. Protecting the Healer of the group was essential since the Phoenix Miraculous wasn't always in use, leaving Ladybug as the only Healer. Elsewhere, away from Hawkmoth being inundated with Adrien/Chat Noir's pet we see the Guardian of the Miraculous', and his Kwami, Wayzz, the Turtle Kwami. They had been observing Harry Potter, and his actions since helping Ladybug, Chat Noir, Phoenix, Drago Blaze, and Dream Wolf. His help had been instrumental during the Darkblade mess, as had Juno's, her being active again was a surprise, and Sailor Psyche, along with Cure Pitch. Harry Potter had earned himself a Miraculous, though now he had to decide upon which one to give the man, Alya had the Raccoon Miraculous, though he wasn't surprised when she hadn't joined the others just yet, seeing as how she had in fact been akumatized.

The Guardian smiles, " Wayzz, it's time for the Snake Miraculous to be brought out of retirement. "

Wayzz snickers, " I'm sure Harry will appreciate the irony in him receiving Hiss. "

The Snake Miraculous is packed up in the black and gold almost Chinese Puzzle Box, and Wayzz delivers it to Usagi's home, placing it in Harry's room while there. Time to sit back, and watch the fireworks from this move, which would really set the Ministries in a tizzy, they already couldn't fine him, or bitch him out for blatantly flouting the Statute of Secrecy, giving him the Snake Miraculous...oh, that was just pouring salt into open, seeping, oozing wounds.

Usagi's Home:

Emerald eyed Harry Potter blinks when he sees the black and gold box before softly cackling. He opens it up, and in a sea green flash of light a sea green snake like being emerges. Said being has a broad, triangular head. Their eyes are yellow with narrow black pupils, their mouth has two pointed teeth, and they have a sea green forked tongue. Additionally, they have a long tail, and from the top of their head and down their back to the tip of their tail, they have a black diamond line pattern. " Hello, Harry, I am Hiss, the Kwami of the Snake Miraculous. "

Harry just smirks wickedly, " Alright, how the hell do I transform, and what's my power once I do so, and what's my weapon? " He puts the Ouroboros shaped armlet on as he asks these questions, " Oh, right, Tikki and Plagg are also here, what's the food you need to recharge as well, mostly so I can have it ready for you? "

" Coils Bound to transform, Coils Unbound to end the transformation willingly, and I happen to like voles. "

" Will the Ice Mice treat work since the Cat Miraculous Holder worships Bastet, and there are plenty of felines around to deal with the pests? " Harry asks.

" I can live with Ice Mice, and your weapon is a pair of scimitars. Your power is Transformation, essentially you can transform anything into anything else, much like transfiguration, only this also works on spells, and the like as well, you could also turn an akumatized victim into a Flobberworm, for instance, without affecting the akumatized item. " Hiss states.

Harry's smirk did his Marauder Heritage Proud, at Weasley's' Wizard Wheezes the ghost of Fred, and his still living twin perk up, Harry was being particularly devious at the moment. They were so proud of their surrogate younger brother. The Potter Lord gets ready for the day, gets the food ready for Padfoot, refills the pet food dishes, and gets the spicy food ready for Ténebrès. He also checks the water dishes for the feral cats outside as well, just in case. Hiss follows him, and the Kwami's yellow eyes widen when he sees how many cats dropped by, " Yeah, Adrien takes his duties as a worshipper of Bastet seriously, hell you might as well consider him a High Priest of Bastet, while Usagi is The Kitsune. "

Hiss shudders, " The Kitsune was chosen as the Holder of the Ladybug Earrings? "

Harry cackles at this, " I'm the son of Prongs, Godson of Padfoot, and surrogate nephew of Moony, we don't speak of Wormtail anymore, the fucking, cowardly traitor. "

Hiss groans, " Great, my partner is a Mayhem Purveyor. "

" It could be worse, I could be an actual Dark Lord, instead I prank the Unholy, Unmitigated, Unbelievable hell out of those that have pissed me the fuck off. Isn't that a better outlet than what else I could have chosen? " Harry asks the Kwami.

Hiss thinks this through, and realizes that, yes, his new partner could have chosen a far less acceptable outlet than pranking. He could live with a prankster, a serial killer...which could have easily happened to Harry with the way he was raised. The Magical Communities had dodged a bullet with the fact that Harry actually had some morals. He could have easily become worse than Voldemort thanks to his Aunt and Uncle. Only the Twins, Dudley, and Ron all realized how bad things could have become thanks to the fact that Harry was treated worse than Cinderella was being treated by her step-family! That, more than anything, said just how damned lucky Magical Britain had gotten. They should be grateful he was more Gryffindor than Black! Had he been more Black, well...they would have been truly fucked, no two ways about it.

Harry heads back inside to find Adrien in the kitchen, and the blonde haired, green eyed male blinks, " Ah, I see, you've proven worthy to receive a Miraculous then. Snake? "

" Yep, I need to go buy some Ice Mice for Hiss, you got breakfast covered for everyone? " Harry asks him.

" Yeah, go. Hiss, you'll need to talk to Tikki about the Rules, okay. " Adrien says, he was making a traditional Japanese breakfast today, and more importantly a proper bento for Usagi, and Naru. Chris was still being kept out of the way until they needed an adult for Usagi, and plans were still being made to nail Bugs Bunny with Adrien's pet. Said pet is currently resting on a lap desk until needed again. Lune is eating her salmon while Alexandre sits on top of the refrigerator, watching over everyone. Ténebrès was curled at the foot of Adrien and Usagi's bed. Adrien had gotten up much earlier than usual so he could get everything done, wake his girlfriend up, and then head back to his place.

Hiss finds Tikki to ask about the rules while Harry Apparates away to buy a dozen Ice Mice, and then he would pay for the box to be ever refilling as well. He had way more money than he knew what to do with, so he might as well use some of it. Once Adrien has breakfast ready he looks at Alexandre, " Would you go wake your mistress, please. "

Alexandre cocks his head to the side, " Mrow(Fine). "

Adrien groans when he realizes he was essentially like Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket now, minus the having a curse that would turn him into a cat when hugged by the opposite gender. This is what happens when you happened to be the reincarnation of the previous Holder of the Ring. Alexandre was laughing his ass off until Adrien mentally threatened to hit the mental representation of his previous incarnation with The Demon. Alexandre winces, unlike Adrien he had never figured out how to slay and tame The Demon. He apologizes immediately, there was no way in Helheim he was going to piss his new life off to the point Adrien hit him with his unique brand of revenge!

Alexandre the Kneazle heads for his mistress, and jumps directly onto her stomach. Usagi looks bleary eyed at her familiar before rolling out of bed, grabbing her outfit for today, and heading off to take a shower. Ténebrès yawns cutely, and then saunters out to eat his breakfast. He so didn't mind that his trainer wanted him to evolve into Umbreon. Usagi's outfit for the day happened to be a replica of Sawada Tsunayoshi's day wear when not in school, hoodie and gloves included. Marinette had loved the challenge of making the outfit, and Usagi knew damned well Adrien empathized with Tsuna to a degree, absentee father...dearly wanting attention of said sperm donor...yes, Adrien, should he ever meet Tsuna would immediately start a bitching session about their fathers. The next day she would be wearing a feminized Train Heartnet outfit, which would test Adrien's self-control.

Adrien stares when his girlfriend emerges from their room, " Merde(Fuck)! Are you trying to get me to jump you? "

" Wait until you see tomorrow's outfit. " Usagi tells him, and pets Alexandre before he retakes his post, and brushes Ténebrès as well.

Harry apparates back in, " Driving him nuts again via hormones, Kitsune-sama? "

" Of course. " It was then that Usagi sees Hiss, " Kuso(Fuck), let me guess, Prongslet is your partner. "

" Yes, he is, why? My name is Hiss, and Tikki has already told me the Rules. "

" Oh, good. " Usagi says, and Adrien hands her a mug of coffee.

Naru makes an appearance next followed by Leah, " I'll be heading out to get Gohan soon, though he will have to beat Cell, and Bojack I suppose. "

Usagi grins, " Hell, drag future Trunks back with you, if you can, even if just for a visit. "

Leah cackles, " I might do just that. I also have the list of Capsules everyone wants me to get while I'm there as well. I will save Goku though, since Goten needs his father, and of course, I will be Trolling Vegeta and Chichi. I'll share Pensieve memories when we get here. "

Harry smirks, " I'll have my Pensieve ready for your return, and Gohan's entrance to our world, how will you handle Adrien's Pet for Gohan though? "

Adrien smirks, " You mind adopting him into the Gryffindor line? "

Harry pauses, and then his grin turns so deliciously devious at the mere thought, " Loki, yes! That will really set the Niffler in the Vaults. If the Heir Ring accepts him then that will be the return of the Gryffindor line, and will cause a rockslide to hit the high society gossip circles. "

" That was my intention the whole time, can you think of anyone better to be the Heir of Gryffindor, you are technically Lord Gryffindor after all, and Teddy is the Black Heir, James Sirius the Potter Heir, Remus is the Peverell Heir, right? " Adrien asks Harry.

" True, Lily Luna is actually the Slytherin Heiress, pissing off that damned Fangirl I was forced to marry, dammit! One more child from the bint, and I can finally work on getting away from her. " Harry states.

" Want me to reach out to the Mundane Denizens of the Criminal Underworld in Britain to see about an accident happening to Ginevra? " Usagi asks him.

Harry cocks his head to the side as he thinks about this, " Sound them out about how much a hit would cost me, and how it can happen that it doesn't trace back to me in any way. " he decides finally.

Usagi smirks, and starts making some calls, specifically to those that frequented the Surrey area, they might just give him a discount for having to put up with Vernon and Petunia. She goes through her usual intermediaries though, and continues to make, and take calls while eating her breakfast. She shifts her phone to silent mode once she has to leave for school, though Leah orbs her and Naru into a camera blind spot, while orbing Adrien to his room, yes, they were abusing the everloving hell out of Leah's ability to remote orb people and things, but who the fuck actually cared?

Tokyo International Airport:

Minako yawns as she pulls Artemis' carrier out of subspace, and shows her Sorcerers' Guild Associate ID Card to the representative at the airport, " I would like to be taken to this address by someone trustworthy, I happen to know Rena Inverse, and she would be pissed if anything untoward happened to me. "

The rep pales impressively, Usagi's Sorcerers' Guild Identity was Rena Inverse, Demon Hunting was Serena Albarn, and Citizen ID was Tsukino Usagi/Usagi Tsukino depending on the country. " Understood, Associate Aino. "

Artemis blinks his green eyes at this, " Just how feared is she? "

" She's a the first true direct blood descendant of Lina Inverse, and was able to claim her vaults at Gringotts. " Minako deadpans.

Artemis thinks this over, and then blinks once more, " Right, Queen Seraphina actually bitch slapped Luna Inverse for trying to control her little sister, hell, Lina was Seraphina's best friend. "

Artemis had only heard tales of what they got up to, but the Hime had come by her Pranking Nature honestly. Seraphina would be highly amused by the fact that her reincarnated granddaughter happened to be the de facto queen of the Pranking Community.

Niwa Home:

*Dark, do you get the distinct feeling that Ami needed us tonight?* Daisuke asks his other half.

*I do, and it pisses me off that the damned painting had to go active now. Still, she's alright, and that's the most important thing, right?* Dark answers.

*True, now all we need to do is arrange with Takeshi another night that we can spend with our blue haired beauty.* Daisuke states.

Dark nods mentally at this, fully agreeing with his other half on that. Emiko would be pissed if she found out, but they made certain to use the contraception potion before doing anything with Ami, there was no way they were going to allow her to come up pregnant until they were both old enough to get married without parental permission, which would be eighteen for Daisuke.

Ronin Campgrounds:

Sage looks at Rowen, " You called upon Mariner Castle to get to our Hime whom had overreached herself because she doesn't have the Ginzuishou, and she has a younger alternate living with her temporarily until the dimension she's chosen, which is a Dragon Ball Z dimension, and set during the Cell arch, gets to the right point so she can snatch up Gohan as a boyfriend, and Troll Vegeta and Chichi because they're both Tsundere's, did I miss anything? "

Rowen smirks, " Nope, nothin', Seiji. "

Sage's eyebrows twitch, " Shut it, Tenku no Touma! "

Rowen's blue eyes narrow, and he cocks his head to the side. Sage gulps, and backs away slowly. He knew that damned look, that was Rowen considering a prank, in particular, what shade to dye his hair this time, " Tendo-san has been sniffing around your Network again. "

Rowen stiffens at this news, " Yo, Ryo, I'll be back. Got ta teach 'Biki-chan not ta go messin' wit' my info network. "

The blue haired genius archer was gone before Ryo can even acknowledge what he'd said to him, " You did that deliberately. " Ryo says to Sage.

The blonde swordsman smirks, " I do know how to distract Ro'. There's also the fact that Nabiki got pictures of me at a tournament, and has been selling them. "

" Ah, so you had a legitimate reason to sic Rowen on her, other than saving your precious hair. " Ryo states.

" Naturally, you're not his only enabler. I was his enabler long before you were, it's just no one ever suspects you of enabling The Chemist. " Sage retorts, " Next time I need to redirect his chaotic energies I fully intend to sic him on Tendo Akane on behalf of Chaos Magnet Saotome Ranma. "

Ryo winces, " Shit, I'm gonna have to spar with him since Usa-aneki is in Paris. Unless we have Rowen corrupt him to the Chaos Side, as in teaching him how to spread the love, and not just have Havoc drawn to him because Ranma is one person we do not want snapping. "

" Better you than me, mate. " Cye says, chiming in, " How the hell can Usagi match him anyhow? "

" She can teleport, and she's wicked fast. Umika created a speed and evasion based Anything Goes Martial Art with approval from the Grandmaster of the School as well, and Usagi is a master of it. " Ryo answers, " She's added some elements of the Saotome school thanks to sparring with Ranma monthly, and Happosai did teach her some from the Tendo and Saotome Schools as well. "

Paris, Collège François Dupont :

In Ms. Bustier's class today they're filming a short movie, Nino is the director, Adrien is the leading man, and initially Chloé is the leading lady. Naturally Adrien glares at his best friend for the affront, there was no way in hell he was going to kiss Chloé, dammit! Nino winces, " Is there anyone whom would like to be Adrien's stunt double? I'll edit him back in for the real thing that gets shown. " Nino says.

Kim volunteers, and Adrien levels his nastiest pretentious snob look Chloé's way, this look tells Chloé to put up, and shut up, unless she wanted even more copious amounts of The Demon heading her way, on top of what her half-sister was doing to both Chloé, and their shared father. She was hitting them where it really counted, their reputations. Marinette rolls her eyes at Adrien, and the blonde sends a look her way, and nods towards Chloé, silently asking if she wanted to do a kiss scene with her. Marinette subtly shakes her head in answer to the silent question. No way in Hell would she kiss Chloé. When Chloé causes Mylène to run from the room upset Adrien curses internally, *My Queen, you need to get to my school, now! Mylène Haprèle is about to be akumatized thanks to Bitch Barbie.*

*On my way, Orokana neko.* Usagi replies, and once again uses her get out of school free card, then she transforms, and makes very quick time to Adrien, Marinette, and Nino's School.

Adrien subtly excuses himself to the bathroom, and transforms into Chat Noir, in a camera blind zone once more. The teen heroes arrive just as Horrificator sets to work, and then they get trapped in the school. Ladybug looks at her other half, *Remind me again why we have to save Bitch Barbie? She causes ninety seven percent of the akumatizations with jealousy, Marinette, or her father causing the others! Marinette doesn't even mean to cause any harm, she genuinely cares about people!*

*You're a hero, not an anti-hero, My Queen.* Chat replies, *Horrificator seems to be getting more powerful, why?*

Ladybug intercepts Horrificator from going after Alix Kubdel, *It's the fear.*

" Everyone, there's no need to be scared, let's have a little fun instead(AN:Yes, Chat Noir did shamelessly quote Jack Frost). "

" How do you propose we do that? " Chloé asks haughtily.

Chat's tail twitches in agitation, " Don't tempt me to let her take you, since you are the direct cause of Mademoiselle Haprèle's akumitization! "

" Hey, that's right, Chloé either directly, or indirectly causes the majority of people to akumatize. " Max Kanté realizes, and starts running the stats for everything he knows in his head, and he winces, " At least ninety six percent of the time Chloé is either directly, or indirectly involved. "

Miss Bustier's class collectively blinks, and then, as one, they turn to Glare at Chloé. Quite frankly they were all sick of her attitude, and then Ivan starts singing We Will Rock You by Queen. The others catch on, and Ladybug snatches the item, wraps her Lucky Charm around it, de-akumatizes it, catches the akuma, de-evilizes it, and uses her Miraculous Ladybug power. Of course, the heroes weren't expecting what happened next, as a spell slams into Ladybug. Her eyes widen in horrified shock. Then they narrow, and she starts incanting, " Mu no gugentaru shin'en yo fukaki ankoku no yaiba mote waga maeni aru teki wo ute! "

Chat curses, " Everyone, get out of here now, this is a battle between a Sorcerer and a Sorceress! "

Hell Blast slams into Ladybug's opponent, a dissenter in the Albarn Clan when it came to her being named heiress, and he sends Flare Arrow right back at her. Ladybug snarls and meets it with a Fireball, and then sends Dam Brass in retaliation, before incanting under her breath rapidly, " Darkness beyond twilight, Crimson beyond blood that flows, Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows, I pledge myself to conquer all the foes that stand, Before the power in my unworthy hand! Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the Power You and I possess! DRAGON SLAVE! "

Her opponent had been prepping another spell, and Chat Noir sees the Oh Shit look on his face when he realizes he's about to be hit by a full powered, from a pissed off Inverse of Lina's line Dragon Slave. The Dragon Slave slams into the idiot, and two Sorcerers in High Standing at the Guild come to collect the fool, slapping iron shackles on him, " Give him to Matriarch Albarn. " Ladybug snaps, she was pissed! She thought her grandmother had all those damned dissenters cowed, apparently not. Now she'd have to be on the lookout for assassination attempts yet too, just so they could get her out of the line of succession. A cleanup team was already on site, and they teleport Chat, and Ladybug home.

Usagi's Home:

Harry blinks when he sees them, even as they undo their transformations, then he winces when he sees how thoroughly pissed off Usagi happened to be. " Bloody hell, what happened? "

" One of the jackals behind me in the line of succession just tried to kill me off, and get me out of the way! " Usagi snaps.

Adrien sighs wearily, " Usagi-chan, how about we binge watch some more Bleach? "

" Can you make me some Blueberry Mochi, Harry? " Usagi asks as Adrien cues up their current episode, and then snuggles into him when he sits.

" No problem, Usagi. You just relax, and watch Ichigo kick some serious ass, okay. " Harry says firmly. No one wanted Usagi to snap, that would be BAD. Adrien had his work cut out for him at the moment since he couldn't distract her with things of a more intimate nature. Dear Bastet he could not wait until she turned fifteen already. First of all, it would allow them to be fully bonded, and keep that manwhore known as Endymion from ever getting his mitts on her, second, he would finally be allowed to legally jump her, and not get bitched at for it being illegal anyhow.

Harry quickly whips up a sextuple batch of Blueberry Mochi, and also makes some Puppy Chow for Adrien. Tikki is once again on DVD switching patrol, as calming Usagi down was far more important than making them do things themselves. Tikki was just beginning to fully realize how hard it was on Adrien to keep Usagi from snapping. It was not an easy thing to do, because her temper, when aroused, was an awe inspiring, and terrifying sight to behold. No wonder the Holder of the Black Cat Ring had ended up with the job of keeping the heiresses/heirs to the Silver Moon Queendom Throne from snapping, they all had a sense of humor, and generally knew when someone was close to blowing their stack as well.

Factory:

Odd and Ulrich arrive first, strangely enough, and the best friends share a look, trying to decide how to explain everything to their friends, and yes, William Dunbar did count, he had finally redeemed himself fully after his cockiness had gotten him taken over by Xana. Laura Gauthier on the other hand, she had been summarily kicked out of the group, her memories wiped, and never spoken of again, as she had tricked William into trying to destroy Xana at the Cortex. Then there was the fact that she had never been nice to Aelita whom at the time was practically Jeremie's girlfriend, mocked her about her deceased father, wanted to take away her chance to find her mother whom they had discovered, through the Cortex in Lyoko, was alive, and then Odd truly did consider her family, since his mother also happened to have pink hair as well.

Odd had also reinforced the memory removal with a runic array written in invisible ink. No way in Loki's name was he allowing that bitch to come back and haunt them. They should have never allowed her to be a part of the group, she may have had an intelligence academically comparable to Aelita and Jeremie, but she had no compassion. " Alright, you two, we're all here, now how the Hell did you both end up with Miraculous' anyhow? " Yumi Ishiyama demands of them.

Odd sighs, " You wanna take the first part, buddy? "

Ulrich nods, " You see, guys, we actually found them in a curio shop one of the times we were actually allowed to leave campus, it was actually just before the Scyphozoa was created by Xana. We have the same abilities as our Lyoko forms when transformed, it's just Odd hardly ever uses his power, mostly because said power terrifies Xana. Besides using our powers gives us a five minute countdown before we revert back to our civilian states. Odd, the lucky bastard, actually gets his Overboard in the real world, yet I don't get my Overbike, how is that fair? "

Odd shakes his head, " We started training in secret, while we had a chance, as Chester and Lyrina had told us the Moth Broach was in the wrong hands, but the Holder hadn't yet started causing trouble, plus, getting off of campus is damned hard. It wasn't until this brief exchange program that we actually were needed to help our fellow Holders. I have Chat's contact info, and he did tell me that the Snake Miraculous is now in play, and a certain wizard whose animagus form is a Nightfury received it. "

William has to laugh, " The Gryffindor Golden Boy is now a snake themed hero? "

" Remember, in the autobiography he had Luna Lovegood Scamander write he admitted that if not for the ferret known as Draco Malfoy he would have been a Slytherin, so he was actually a snake in the lion's den. " Aelita points out.

" Wait, you read that? " William asks her.

" I know what it's like to be targeted for something beyond your control. " Aelita deadpans.

The others all wince, " Odd, what is your Miraculous power? " Yumi asks out of curiosity.

" It's similar to Chat's Cataclysm, only that started out as an assassination technique, mine, well...one touch from me when it's active can level whole buildings, or an entire village according to Lyrina. We cat types are the defenders of the healer types, we generally understand that sometimes you have to walk in the grays to get the job done rather than pull a Dumbledore. " Odd admits, " It's why I don't use my power, Chat's is small scale, Lynx's is widespread devastation. "

The others all wince at this information, no wonder Xana feared this particular power. Jeremie turns to Ulrich, " What's your Miraculous Power? "

" I can turn invisible. " Ulrich says, " Look, we would have told you all sooner, but there was the issue of…"

They all knew what he meant, Laura Gauthier. Yeah, they could understand why neither one of them would have said anything with her around, and there for awhile William couldn't be trusted either. " Fair enough, and I am working on developing a program to find the akumatized victims. "

" I'll see if I can arrange for Chat to swing by here, don't be alarmed if he gets past the cameras, stealth is one of his things. Ulrich, can you work on Dream Wolf? That way we at least have contact info, and can disseminate it properly. " Odd says, " Chat will probably bring his Queen along. It's a cat thing. Ever read Warriors by Erin Hunter? "

" I have, so Chat acts more like a feral Tom then? " William asks.

" With Cloud like tendencies from Katekyo Hitman Reborn as well, he'd be like Skull. " Odd answers immediately.

William winces, " No wonder he's so fiercely protective of Ladybug. "

" He also can only openly date her as Ladybug thanks to certain factors in his civilian life. " Odd says. He could tell them all this without revealing Chat's civilian name. His friends had all proven themselves time and again in the fight against Xana, which was still ongoing as well.

" Explain the Cloud comment. " Yumi says.

" Clouds are the lone wolves, they're fiercely independent, refuse to be caged, and create territories around places, people, or ideals. They will only protect what and whom they think is worthy of that protection. Inverted Clouds are social butterflies, but have the rest of the same characteristics. Read Katekyo Hitman Reborn to learn more, you could read it in the actual Japanese, Yumi. " Odd answers, " Phoenix would be considered a Sun Flame, or more likely, a Rainy Sun. Rain Flames property is Tranquility while Sun is Activation, Sun Flame Users are the Healers. Ladybug, Cloudy Sky, at the least. Sky Flames are Harmony, think Jeanne D'Arc, or King Arthur, they have the ability to bring disparate personalities together without them killing each other. Mist Flames ability is creation, think Genjutsu users in Naruto. Mist Flame users will fuck with people's minds for shits and giggles. Lightning Flames are Hardening, they can use their flames to take hits no one else could survive, they're like Tanks in video games. Cloud Flames are propagation, if they would have one link of a chain they could then make a whole chain with their flames. Finally we have Storm, which is Disintegration. Storm Flame users are generally hot heads, or they could be inverted, like the eye of the Storm. "

" What would your Flames be then? " Jeremie asks, curious despite himself.

Odd grins, " Electric Inverted Cloud, I'm the one that draws the enemy fire from the rest of you, you guys are my territory. Aelita is a Rain Primary, Yumi a Storm primary, Ulrich would be our Sky, Jeremie is a Mist, face it, Einstein, you love messing with people's minds, William is a Sun primary. "

William cocks his head to the side, " I can see Ulrich as a Sky, he's the one that actually holds us all together, we all came together because of Aelita, and Xana, but Ulrich keeps us all in line with help from Aelita. "

" That does actually make sense. " Yumi admits.

Ulrich flips his best friend, practically his brother off for that. Odd just grins at him, and Ulrich rolls his eyes, " Why am I the damned leader? "

" I'm a general I'll admit, but you see the big picture, and the small details, you can keep me from killing William, and yes, there are times I really do want to strangle you barehanded, and then feed you to a dragon whose den I know where is. " Odd says to William.

The others all blink, " You know the location of an actual dragon? " Jeremie asks.

" Yeah, and I'm not going to be telling the French Ministry of Magic either. Nope, I do happen to be a Level Three Sorcerer, I am nowhere near Rena Inverse's level as a Sorceress, but because I am a member of the Sorcerers' Guild I can tell the French MoM where to shove the Statute of Secrecy. They really hate that. " Odd admits.

" Are you related to the Black family, or the Inverse family in any way? " Ulrich asks him best friend.

Odd snickers, " Inverse, I just don't have the training the Heiress of Lina has. Rena, like our infamous ancestress can fire off Dragon Slaves all damn day long like they're candy. I can spam the Fireball, and I almost have the reserves for Levitation, my reserves are growing the more I train. I'm an Inverse, what can I say, overkill is what we do, and I so want to be able to use Ragna Blade. "

Usagi's Home:

Usagi sits up straight during a DVD change, there was Inverse Style Chaos in the ether. There was another true descendant of her great ancestress Lina out there, but where, and more importantly, who? World wide Ministries of Magic collectively shudder, something horrible was about to happen. What, they didn't know, they just knew it would make things even more troublesome than the Master of Death being a member of the Demon Hunter's Guild, and able to tell them all where to shove their laws.
