MIRACULOUS ALLIANCE
EPISODE 11: SILENCER, PART II
Agreste mansion, in Hawkmoth's lair. For Nathalie everything was blurry without her glasses, which Gabriel had kept due to the Amok within it. She may not see as well, but she knew where she was now. It was a holding cell built inside the lair. In case Hawkmoth ever got the Miraculouses and had to contain the civilian forms of the heroes long enough for him to do his wish. At least she had a bed, a lavatory and a toilet and Gabriel wouldn't let her go hungry. But the fact he didn't kill her brought a frightening thought to mind: he still needed her for something. And that 'something' will not be good.
Speaking of 'not good', Gabriel came by to check upon her yet again. She turned her face away. She may not see him all that well but she doesn't want to meet his eyes, blurry or not. "Now Nathalie, did you get everything out of your system? Are you going to fall in line now?" he asked, like she was an impudent child. She didn't answer. She refused to dignify that with a response. "Believe it or not, Nathalie, I care about you. And I am afraid this 'phase' you are going through is detrimental to your health and the mission." Still she wouldn't answer him. He really is slipping deeper into insanity if he is going to act like a demeaning dad figure.
Gabriel sighed as he removed his glasses and rubbed them with a cloth. "I thought you really wanted to bring Emily back as much as me. After all, you would have nothing without her. No family, no home, no anything. So you owe it to me, to help me bring her back at any cost. I thought you'd go through Hell and back for the ones you love."
That was something Nathalie wanted to share a word or two about. "If I were to go into hell to get Emily, she'd stay behind so I could escape. She would not want others to suffer in her place. And don't think I've forgotten that she is in her current condition because of you." Nathalie muttered softly, but dangerously. She hasn't found a way to escape her cell yet, but when she does, she is going to smother Gabriel in his sleep! "And while I love her, you never did. You don't even really know the meaning of 'love'."
"Oh, I know about love. I also know that I just didn't want my love to leave. And I wouldn't want you to leave. You are important to me too. And a good help like you would be so hard to find nowadays." Gabriel said. "But I'll let you cool off some more. Eventually you'll HAVE to see things my way. You know it would be for the best. You are probably regretting your mistake but right now you are just being stubborn about admitting it."
Nathalie didn't reply. "You are really going back to the silent treatment routine? That is, quite frankly, getting old." Gabriel noted. Nathalie responded by flipping both her middle fingers at him. "Now, that was just rude. I always thought you were better behaved like that. But I should expect this, the ones I love don't know what's good for them and turn against me. It will not matter when I get what I want in the end. You'll be back to a fully obedient and hard-working assistant once I have my wish and everything will be right in the world again."
Gabriel turned around and left the scene. Outwardly, she gave no physical reaction. But on the inside, she felt like shuddering. Gabriel was just plain insane and she felt stupid for never noticing it before. She had to get out somehow. Easier said than done. But since she is going to be here a while, she'll have time to think about it. At least Adrien is safe. But she hopes Duusu is faring better then she does at the moment.
Back to our heroes and Kitty Section, they all stared at the giant screen displaying XY being praised for a song that he and his asswipe of a father Bob Roth STOLE from them in mixtures of disbelief, anger, sadness and a few other emotions in between. He didn't sing it nearly as good as Chloé, his cardboard suit was an insult to Marinette's work and Rose was comforted by Juleka, while Scott and Reece did the same for Kiva, because he took the lyrics both worked so hard on and butchered them.
"Wow! Lovin' the new look, XY! You've really outdone yourself this time. How did you come up with a style that's so... original?" Alec Cataldi said in his usual over-excited tv show host manner. Those words stung. Alec didn't know but it still stung.
"It's all in here." XY said as he pointed at his head. Chloé huffed. Yeah, right! XY wasn't smart enough to tie his own shoes, let alone come up with an original song. She was surprised he even knew where the brain was located in his body. Or at least where it was supposed to be, it would be a pocket of air in his case.
"But that's our original style!" Ivan said sombrely.
"The way he moved during that performance, it is like a toddler trying to imitate Chloé's movements and failing." Adrien said.
"It was our work...Marinette's mask, Rose and Kiva's lyrics, Nino and Reece's camera work, Scott and Alya's technical support...and this was a group effort, a group performance. We have Adrien, Ivan, Juleka by our side and backing Chloé up and he makes it a solo performance to stroke his own ego even more." Luka said. The others were a bit shocked as Luka had only shown this much anger when he thought Chloé had made Juleka upset.
"What they did was so...unfair!" Marinette said, gritting her teeth. "How dare they. That should be you guys up there on TV. There better be a good explanation for this."
"I know what their explanation is. They're greedy bastards and I'm about to rip them a new one." Chloé said. "This may not have been my dream, but it is each of your dreams!" Chloé said, pointing at the others. "So we are going to go up there and give Potbelly Roth and XYZero a stern talking to! Who's with me?"
Everyone cheered, roused up like an angry mob ready to kill a beast. Chloé cherished the thought of the father-son scumbag duo burning at the stake, but she is supposed to be a hero. So she'll settle on verbally tearing strips from them. The group charged at the TVi building, Marinette and Chloé in front.
However, as they approached it, their paths were blocked. "They're not here right now." one of the guards.
"Seriously? They're right there on live screen." Marinette pointed out to the two meatheads guarding the entrance.
"You're not allowed in. You don't have an invitation and the show already started." the first guard said.
"But it's our show!" Marinette said.
"XY and Bob Roth are commiting plagiarism and..."
"Yeah right, next you'll be telling us you are Paris' heroes! Now move along!" The second guard said. The heroes backed off, for now. "They don't take us seriously." Marinette said. We have to get in somehow.
"Someone needs to distract those guards. We just have to figure out how?" Alya said.
"What can we do? Stage an Akuma attack?" Juleka asked.
"That's actually not a bad idea, just an improvised suit and some facepaint, we scare those guards off and..." Adrien said.
"One prob, we cannot fake Akuma superpowers. Unless someone knows a magic trick." Nino reminded them.
The sound of crunching made everyone turn around, seeing Kiva munching on a bag of peanuts. The Belgian boy looked sheepish. "Sorry...when I'm upset, I eat. Not a healthy habit, I know." The others gained a smirk on their face as a plan formed in their head. "Er...why are you all looking at me like that?" Kiva asked.
A few minutes later, a still hoarse Rose was seen running away, with Juleka on her heels whom shouted at the guards: "Help! Our friend's been akumatized! Ladybug and Cat Noir aren't here to save us! Quick!" she said as she moved on.
Kiva came in, in a Kitty Section outfit and some facepaint. "Behold! I am Ballbuster!" Kiva cursed himself inwardly for his badly improvised name. "I am going to wreck this place."
"Stop messin' around kids, it's not gonna work." One of the guards said. "If you think that a cheap trick like that is going to work on us, you have another thing coming."
Kiva pulled out a pair of soccer balls, which spontaneously combusted. "Does this look like a trick, punks?"
"Gah! He's a real Akuma! Run for your life!" The second guard said as he and the other guard ran as if their lives depended on it. And knowing how dangerous real Akumas could be, that was an understandable reaction.
"Who knew that of all things my ability to put sports gear on fire would come in handy one day?" Kiva asked as he tossed the burning balls into a puddle of rainwater on the street.
"Where did you get those soccer balls to begin with?" Reece asked.
"Same place you always seem to pull the fire extinguishers out of nowhere." Kiva replied.
"Let's just go in and wonder about possible cartoon hammerspaces later." Chloé suggested. Everyone agreed to that and snuck into the building. They knew the guards wouldn't be the toughest obstacle they'd face today.
"Wow! Awesome, XY! Such a 180 from your last record! This might be your best yet! So tell me, where did you get the inspiration for all this new material?" Alec Cataldi asked XY. Even if he had to put up a facade as a show host, he was smiling way too hard and sounded way too excited at XY, whom should be the person to be least excited about.
"Oh, it's nothing really. I came up with the whole song in 5 minutes." XY bragged.
"In 5 minutes? He couldn't even sing it the way it's supposed to be sung." Luka growled as he gritted his teeth at XY's behaviour.
"More like it took five minutes for him to plagiarize the song." Adrien said.
"That suit of his looks like it was made in five minutes." Scott said, pointing at the cardboard box armour the idiot wore.
Marinette noticed Bob Roth standing at the sidelines and stormed towards him. "Mr. Roth! My name's Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I'm the one who sent you the Kitty Section video."
Of course Bob Roth acted like he didn't know about anything. "Video? What video? I don't know what you're talking about, kid."
"Maybe I can jog your memory? Look!" Marinette pulled out her smartphone and shows the video clip. "The costumes, the mask, the music, the dance moves. They're all the same!"
Bob snorted. "There's no comparison. This here is some amateur garage band. My son is a solo artist. You guys play instruments, his music is all digital. Our unicorn is much cooler, and our masks are nothing like yours."
"That's not true! You copied Marinette's costumes!" Adrien growled.
"And those are Chloé's dance moves!" Luka added.
"And it's the exact same song. You stole Luka's music!" Chloé said.
"Oh, come on. Let's not exaggerate now. We may have just been a little bit... inspired, that's all." XY said in a mocking, teasing tone.
"Cut the crap, Roth spawn. I know you and you father long enough." Chloé said. Have you forgotten who I am?
"Er...I seriously don't remember who you are." XY said as he picked his ear with a finger. "Did we have a one night stand in June? I told you that it would be just once..."
"No, you blonde bimbo'd Justin Bieber ripoff! I am Chloé Bourgeois. Daughter of Mayor André Bourgeois, and I was the lead singer for Kitty section when that clip was made." Chloé explained.
"To be fair, I never paid quite that much attention whenever Dad and Mr. Bourgeois talked. If it doesn't concern me, why would I bother?" XY said as he wiped his hand on his shirt.
"I remember you, though. We may not talk as much, and with that mask in the picture I wasn't sure it was you. But I remember you as the blonde brat of Paris. Didn't you use to create Akumas with your tantrums?" Bob Roth asked.
"That was a long time ago. I have grown up. I have become better. And right now, I am here to help my friends. They have put their heart and soul in that song. I didn't even want to initially sing but I did it to help them. Then you pull off this!" Chloé said as he ripped the inferior copy of the mask that XY was holding, then tossed it aside.
"Listen, it is not too late to do the right thing. Just admit it was our song and let Kitty Section perform." Marinette asked.
"Yeah. First they'll wanna be in the show. Then they'll be asking for a cut of the profits. No way! Never saw or heard of Kitten Division." Bob Roth said, dismissing them.
"It is not about the money. This was our dream, our hope, our passion!" Luka said as he picked up the ugly mask of XY's. "You stole from us!"
"You already are stinkin' rich! Why would you be so desperate for money that you cheat a bunch of kids out of a record deal?" Scott asked. "I mean, your record label owns Jagged freakin' Stone!"
"If I were to steal a song, and I am not admitting or saying that I am, it would mostly be because no one wants to see a group of delinquent punks singing when they have this handsome young idol..." Bob Roth said as he gestured at XY, whom admires himself in a hand mirror and threw himself a wink. What a douchebag.
"No! It's not fair! I won't stand by and let my friends' work get stolen. If you won't tell the truth, then I will! Right now, on the air, live!" Marinette spat as she headed towards the camera, only for her arm to be grabbed by Bob Roth.
"If you do that, I'll tell them you're the copycats, not me. I've got all the music biz eating out of my hand. So who do you think they're gonna believe? Me, or a group of nobodies? You'll never have a future in this business. You'll never make another costume. And there'll be no more music for your buddies because as far as everyone's concerned, you'll be the rip-off artists." Bob Roth said.
"Let go of Marinette, you big brainless baboon!" Adrien said as he grabbed Bob Roth's arm and twisted it, making the man squeal out in pain. "Do that again and we'll have assault added to the charges." as he let go of Bob's arm.
The smug git still smirked. "Didn't you just hear me? I am too big. You still think that you can do anything to me?" At that point Chloé let out a dark chuckle. "What is so funny, you little brat?"
"You think you are big, but you have no idea whom you are up against. Look at our crew. We got the one whom runs the Ladyblog, two kids whom made it into the finals of a Movie Contest for young aspiring directors, the winner of a robot fighting tournament, Golden Boy Adrien Agreste, and Marinette here...if you weren't so stuck with your head up your own ass you would realize Marinette is the one whom designed Jagged Stone's glasses, covers and outfits. Heck, he calls her his honorary niece!" Chloé explained. She turned towards the rest of Kitty Section. "While the rest are not big names yet, Kitty Section have a future ahead of them in the music business, and Kiva has potential as a songwriter."
"And of course we have the mayor's daughter." Luka said, putting his arm around her, giving a supportive smile.
"So all of us put together, we can and we will ruin you if we have to. Such a despicable deed will not go unpunished." Chloé added.
Bob Roth turned a bit pale and wide-eyed as he realized that Chloé may mean it. He was in Paris and her dad was the mayor so in this city...if she hadn't been part of the group he'd have gotten away with it but now it didn't seem so bad. Bob wouldn't get help from his son, whom looked confused and was too dumb to realize they were in trouble. But then Roth got a wicked idea. "And here I thought you'd have gone soft." Roth chuckled darkly.
Chloé's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
"I thought you have become a goodie two-shoes but instead...you're ruthless, willing to throw her weight around. It reminds me off myself." Bob Roth said. "I can almost respect that."
"I am nothing like you!" Chloé shouted. There was anger, but there was something else. Something sad, something fearful. "I am better now. I am just...I am just sticking up for my friends."
"Are you sure? You are the lead singer after all. You took to the spotlight as a fish to water. Who says you didn't want your moment of fame ruined? You can dress it up all you want but you are still the girl whom is willing to remind whom her daddy is to get what she wants." Bob Roth taunted. This would defang the little viper, and then the rest he could easily intimidate in backing down.
"I'm not...I'm not..." Chloé started to tremble and hyperventilated. She sank to her knees.
"Chloé!" Luka said as he rushed at his friend's side. "Angel, speak to me."
"I'm not...I'm not..." Chloé muttered over and over again.
"Chlo!" Adrien shouted worried as he also rushed to her side. The rest of the crew also moved in to try and support their friend. Adrien then shot a glare towards Bob Roth. "You scumbag, do you have no shame? Do you have so little regard for others?"
"Blah, blah, blah!" Bob Roth said childishly. "It's a hunt or be hunted world out there, it's not my fault you kids are stupidly naive. And while it is true, I can make millions on my own just fine, it is much more convenient if someone does the dirty work for you and you can just take credit for the idea yourself."
"Yeah, suck it you nards!" XY added. Even if he didn't fully understand what was going on (remember he's an idiot) he knew his dad was winning.
Luka was mad. Everything he worked for with his sister, his friends...would be taken from them by a lying, dirty cheating piece of scum. They all had put their heart and soul into it. But what angered him most. His Angel...Chloé, she tried so hard. To be better. She was doing well, she was so wonderful. His heart sings whenever she was near him. She was so proud on how far she had come. Her heart played such a nice song nowadays. And now Roth...he was undermining not only everything they tried to achieve with Kitty Section, but drag his angel back down. Her heartsong was now a song of pain. His heartsong now started to sound as the drums of war. No one did that to his friends. No one did that to his angel. He will pay!
In his lair, Hawkmoth was studying the Sentimonster that Mayura had summoned days ago. The blue frog beast had been immobile since he beat Mayura. The Amok was still in the glasses he held but he lacked the means to reawaken or properly control. And he couldn't risk using the Peacock Miraculous because that would be dangerous to his health. Luckily he didn't have to use it to talk to the kwami. "Duusu...how can I reactivate the Sentimonster?"
"Just say the magic words." Duusu said in a sing song tone.
"Without using the Peacock Miraculous directly. I have the Amok in my hands now, so there should be way to gain control through it." Gabriel growled. "Tell me the truth."
"The truth is that you are an asshat!" Duusu said in an angry tone.
"Enough nonsense! I want you to..." Gabriel growled as he suddenly stopped as he sensed something. "Ah. Nevermind, something has come up. When this is all done and over you better be more cooperative. Nooroo..." Nooroo was floating there, still silenced by Gabriel's orders. Nooroo looked sorrowful, trying to convey to Duusu he was sorry. Duusu gave just a soft smile to let him know he didn't blame the butterfly Kwami. "Dark Wings Rise!"
Against a magenta background, his transformation sequence included countless glowing white butterflies swarming around him. they glowed and fused together in a sort of cocoon-like shell. A glow came from inside the cocoon, revealing a shadowy outline of Hawkmoth's in the glow. Cracks appeared in the cocoon shell as purple light shone through them. Then when the cracks grew wider, the cocoon busted open, purple smoke visible, which slowly faded to show Hawkmoth, fully transformed. His head was initially hung, but he raised it up to reveal an evil smirk. He put one hand behind his back, and with the hand holding his weapon, put his cane onto the ground and posed.
"I'm detecting the echo of a very rare emotion. The anger of a creator whose work has been stolen. Who also cannot bear to see the one he loves suffer." Hawkmoth said as he summoned one of the white butterflies to his hand. He closes his hands around it, infusing it with his dark energies, turning it into an Akuma "Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize this pure soul." The Akuma did just that.
"Not quite so cocky now, are we?" Bob Roth continued to taunt. Most of Kitty Section's members now had stood up and shouted at Bob Roth, but Luka and the rest of Team Miraculous were still huddled around Chloé.
The Akuma flew in, and before anyone could notice, it entered the mask Luka was still holding on to. Luka jerked up as a purple hologram butterfly mask appeared over his face. "Silencer, I am Hawk Moth. This man is the voice of evil. I'm giving you the power to silence him for good. All I ask of you in return are Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous."
However, the others noted the holographic mask over Luka's face. "Luka, no!" Chloé said as she grabbed his face. "Luka, please, whatever he says, whatever he promises, don't do it!"
Juleka had turned around upon hearing her brother's name being shouted. She then saw the butterfly mask as well. "Luka!" she said as she rushed at her brother's side. "Luka, no! Please...don't let him get to you. He got to me during a time where I was...at a low point. I thought that Reflekta was the only way to be noticed, but I was wrong. Please, Luka."
"And I...I thought that to overcome my past demons, I had to cut it out at the source. As Queen Wasp I rampaged...but it didn't do anything. Please, Luka." Chloé added.
The two most important girls in his life, closes to his heart. Pleading with sad looks in his eyes. He wanted to say 'no' to Hawkmoth. But that pleading look on his sister's face...last time he saw such a pleading look was on a six-year-old Juleka's face, asking where their father was, to tell them he just didn't run away. He was powerless then...it broke his sister, it broke his mother. He had to be strong, be the man in the house, to make sure they had someone looking out for them. He had to hold it all in, his anger, his sorrow. They couldn't see, he needed to be there.
Chloé, his Angel. The only one he felt ok to let down his walls for. She understood him. She had suffered through so much. Like him, she came from a broken family that had caused her to put up a mask as well. She didn't understand it, but she heard his heartsong as well as he did hers. But...Roth, that slimeball. He was about to take everything away from them again.
He didn't want to be powerless again. He couldn't keep up the walls. He just couldn't... "Do it for them." Hawkmoth whispered in his mind. "Make sure that that man cannot hurt them again. No one can hurt them again. How deep will that sharp tongue cut as he cannot form proper words?" It would be really satisfying. "So, do have an agreement, Silencer?"
Luka sighed. He didn't speak up. Only one thought went through his mind. 'Juli...Angel...I'm sorry.' He put on the mask with the Akuma in it.
Luka didn't directly reply but Hawkmoth sensed Luka's resistance dropping. "I'll take your silence as a yes." the supervillain said.
Luka was engulfed in the purple and black oily energy as he was transformed into Silencer. In his new form, he has blue skin and he wears a magenta, black and yellow-ish outfit with a jagged mouth on his helmet. He didn't speak up, he just stood there. Everybody there felt a chill go down their spine upon seeing another one of their friends transformed into Hawkmoth's Champion.
XY, though, looked unimpressed. That was cool. Say dad, can we hire a magician, maybe we can rip this entire transformation thing off for our next videoclip..." too stupid to keep his mouth shut, he drew attention from Silencer, whom crossed the distance between him and the Roth brat in a millisec, grabbed his face and puts his fingers on his lips, while making a hushing gesture with the other. A blob in the same tacky purple XY loved to wear, vaguely jellyfish-shaped, flew out of XY's mouth.
"What's that?" Bob Roth said as he hid behind Marinette in fear. A hatch on the side of Silencer's helmet opened up, the jellyfish thing flying inside, before the hatch closed. XY attempted to speak up, but he found no sound coming from his mouth (people would talk Silencer later for this). XY grabbed his throat as he was completely silent...He no longer had a voice.
Silencer no longer paid him any heed. He turned around and Bob Roth whimpered, as he ran for it. The others were huddled together, looking fearful at their Akumatized friend. Silencer spoke up, but it was not in Luka's voice, but it sounded like XY. His eyes, the sides of his helmets and a panel on his chest glowed in the same purple XY's voice blob did as he spoke: "Don't worry, guys. I would never hurt you. I will use the power Hawk Moth has given me to restore justice. I will force Bob Roth to admit what he has done to you and Kitty Section."
"Don't do that, Luka. That's revenge, not justice. And if you team up with Hawk Moth, you'll have to face Team Miraculous." Marinette warned her friend.
Silencer's gaze turned into a scowl. "Team Miraculous? Where were they when we needed them? As now, Silencer is laying down the law of silence. Those whom hurt my friends and loved ones will scream in pain, but it will not be heard. And then, they will feel the final and permanent silence."
"Luka, please. It's not too late." Chloé begged. "Revenge will consume you, it will make sure you will become something you are not. If Silencer lives...Luka Couffaine dies. And it is Luka whom I..." Chloé said as she wanted to finish her sentence but her voice stopped working, but it was not Silencer but her own emotions.
Silencer approached Chloé and puts his hand to her cheek. "Chloé, my Angel. You're the most extraordinary girl. A heartsong once so discordant now is as clear as a musical note and as sincere as a melody. You're the music that's been playing inside my head, since that day in the park. I won't let anything happen to you." Silencer then turned towards Juleka. "Juli...little sis. I have failed to protect you from the things in the world that could hurt you. I will not fail this time. I will protect you from monsters like Bob Roth and him." He then turns to the rest. "My friends, I had a good time with you all. I am glad you gave it your all. But the time to play nice is over. I am going to end this, now! Please, don't try to stop me." With that, he took off.
Everyone looked afraid, sad, lost. Rose hugged a crying Juleka tight. Chloé breathed heavily again, almost hyperventilating. She then ran off in a panic. "Chloé!" Adrien screamed after his adoptive sister.
Marinette took charge: "Me and Adrien will go comfort Chloé. Alya, Nino, see if you can get a message out to the Miraculous Team!" That way she and her teammates could cover for their absence. "The rest of you, go hide. Do not attempt to approach Silencer, do not let him get close!" They didn't have to be told twice. They all knew better to hide and wait until the heroes fixed everything. Alya and Nino quickly went into one direction. "Thank god for Mari's quick thinking." Nino huffed.
"Oh, I so want to punch the Roths in their ugly faces. They are making it into my top five, aside from Audrey Bourgeois, hawkmoth and Monsieur Agreste. They just barely knocked the guy from FedEx to number six." Alya said.
"FedEx?" Nino asked.
"That guy drop-kicked my package over the fence instead of ringing the doorbell hand handing it to me like a normal person! The new iPad I ordered was ruined." Alya said.
"Well, knowing our luck with Akumas, once Luka is purified something will happen that resolves everything related to the events that cause said Akuma." Nino said. "Do you ever have the feeling we live in a cartoon of sorts?"
"I don't know, but as for your Deus Ex Machina." Alya said as she raised her phone. She pushed a button and you could hear voice clips from Bob Roth and XY from the conversation eariler, enough to proof their undoing. "I have a modern smartphone and I know how to use it."
"Alya, I could kiss you right now." Nino said.
"You can kiss me anytime because you're my boyfriend. But we better deal with human Soundwave first, because it would not be responsible for heroes to be late because they decide to make out." Alya noted. Nino couldn't fault her, deciding to wait before he and Alya would resume lipwrestling.
Adrien and Marinette had seen Chloé run into a bathroom stall. They found her there, on the ground, sobbing and hugging her knees as Pollen did her best to comfort her. "There, there my Queen...it seems bad but it will work out."
"No, even if we fix this, it won't change the fact Luka confessed his love to me as an Akuma. And I couldn't say anything back to him. Because I couldn't say it, when he's like that." Chloé wiped tears from her eyes. "I thought I was over it. That I had moved on with my life, that no one could get under my skin again, but that Bob Roth...I feel so weak."
"You are not weak Chloé. In fact you are one of the strongest people I met. Roth was talking out of his fat ass. He is wrong, you are better. You are Chloé Bourgeois, our friend. You are also Queen Bee. With a tongue as sharp as her stinger. We are going to save Luka. He won't remember what happened after the Cure, so you'll have a chance to do the confession properly if you feel ready." Marinette assured her.
"You have learned how to deal with it, but issues don't get resolved overnight. I know, I still am going to see Doctor De La Mer on regular basis. But while it may take time to get there, we will be ok." Adrien said as he reached out his hand to help Chloé get up. "Luka, he makes you happy, doesn't he?"
"More than you can believe." Chloé said. "I have hated Hawkmoth before. But not as much as I do now. When I find him I'll rip him to shreds, burn the pieces to ash, piss on them and nuke whatever remains there are. I didn't want it to happen like this. I wanted to hear him say it, but not...I have so much frustration to work out but I don't want to do it on Silencer."
"I am sure there will be a couple of Moth Drone whom would like to volunteer for being your punching bag and get you some stress relief." Chat Noir joked.
Chloé smirked. "Then what are we still doing here? It's time to go hero."
"Say the magic words, Chloé." Marinette said.
"Pollen, Buzz on!"
"Tikki, Spots on!"
"Plagg, Claws out!"
ARTIST'S COMMENTS
Yeah, the Roths have done and f***ed up.
Silencer does not do the hand puppet thing in this universe. And hawkmoth could use a better transformation sequence
Also the running gag of my persona never dies!
