Chapter 6

Suit up

Burpy ran with Cat Noir out of the school, Burpy didn't even notice that he was still on fire! Cat Noir then turned to him,

"You go to Marinette," he said as he pulled out his stick, "he seams to be aiming for her", and before Burpy was able to argue, Cat Noir was gone, launched over the buildings. Burpy then looked at the slug tube in his hand. The Goon was still unconscious, but he didn't want Black to get any more power than he already had!

Burpy ran to the hospital and hurried to Marinette's ward, when he arrived, she was alone, for now. Burpy rushes over to her bed and only spoke when the doors shut,

"It was Black!" He said, his voice filled with fear, "and now, someone called HawkMoth has given him powers!",

"Well that isn't good." Came Tikki's voice from under the covers, " Marinette, you should transform now before you get caught!" Marinette nodded and shakily got up, she then said as loud as she dared

"Tikki, SPOTS ON!" And in a flash of pink light, a red bodysuit with black spots appeared over her clothes, a mask formed over her eyes, and a yo-yo materialised around her waist, she looked at Burpy who looked gobsmacked again, and reached under the bedsheets and pulled out a small bundle and said, "I had a lot of free time today, so I made you this from the picture you drew. Burpy took the bundle and saw that it was a set of clothes, there was; orange flared jeans, with red and yellow fire symbols creeping out of the bases of the legs. A pale yellow long coat, with fire symbols along the front and back, in red orange and gold colours, it even had a hood on the back with the same markings that he had when he was a slug! It even had makeshift antenna! Inside the pocket of the coat was a red and yellow mask, again with fire symbols in gold. In short, Burpy loved it.

Burpy came out of the blinds a few moments later wearing the clothes that Marinette made for him,

" I love them," he said, " thanks Marinet…" at that point, Marinette said in a loud whisper

"Just call me Ladybug for now, we don't use real names to keep our identities secret, you need a name too if you want to help." Burpy thought for a moment and a smile appeared on his face, and said,

"Call me, The Flame!" He said,

"then welcome to the team Flame, lead the way" and they ran out of the hospital.

Burpy's new coat was blowing out behind him as he ran, he could feel where Black was, he just knew that Black would aim for the highest area available, so Burpy aimed for the tall structure in the centre of the town, it was called the Eiffel Tower.

GhoulMaster has already gained the allegiance of half of the town, he even had Cat Noir who was foolish enough to attack him, everyone was now pale and had red eyes with blacks instead of whites! GhoulMaster looked at the boy next to him with used to be Cat Noir, and said in a grisly voice,

"One Miraculous down, one to go!" He then saw something out of the corner of his eye, two people were running up towards the tower, and they were not under his control yet; one was wearing a red bodysuit with black spots on it. The other was wearing a weird sort of coat with fire symbols on the side. They were both wearing masks. A voice shouted in his head,

"THAT'S LADYBUG!" Screamed HawkMoth "GET HER MIRACULOUS!"

"With pleasure" replied GhoulMaster and pointed his Gattler at them and said to Cat Noir, "attack!"

Cat Noir landed just in front of Ladybug and Burpy. Ladybug instantly noticed that something was wrong, Burpy felt the same way, Cat Noir then opened his eyes and they saw that his eyes were black with red dots in the centre, his skin was as pale as black and then he pulled out his stick and proceeded to attack them with it! Ladybug pulled out her Yo-Yo sand span it at such speed that it became a sort of temporary shield that deflected every blow that Cat Noir attempted. At one point, Cat Noir's attack pushed ladybug to the ground, he then said in a raspy voice,

"Hand over your miraculous, or die!" Ladybug then kicked him in the chest and rushed back to Burpy, who said in a nervous voice,

"How can we beat Black, when we can't get past his bodyguard?" Ladybug replied with a short sentence,

"With our powers!" And then threw her Yo-Yo into the air and shouted at the top of her voice "LUCKY CHARM!" the Yo-Yo span in the air and in a flash of pink light, a gun shaped object landed in her outstretched hand, "this looks odd" she said, Burpy then responded with,

"That looks so familiar, and it should be to me at least, seeing I spent half my life in one of those!" And then saw a ghoul hopping towards them, grabbed it and said in an exited voice, "that's a blaster!"

Ladybug continued fighting Cat Noir whilst Burpy snuck up the tower, right up to Black. When he reached him, the new Black turned around to face him, with his Gattler in his hand,

"How do you think you can beat me?" Black said in a nightmarish voice, "I am the GhoulMaster, you cannot beat me whoever you are!" Burpy smiled and ignited his hand, and said in a cool voice,

"Call me, the Flame" and threw the newly formed fireball, not at GhoulMaster, but at the Gattler in his hand! He dropped the Gattler and as soon as it left his fingers, Burpy ran up to it an smashed his foot through it! The black butterfly flew out of it and started to fly away! Ladybug saw it and said as she threw Cat Noir onto his back, "no more evildoing for you, little Akuma" she said as she swiped her finger along her Yo-Yo, causing it to open to reveal a pink, glowing orb underneath the Yo-Yo's shell, Ladybug span the Yo-Yo faster and faster until it was just a pink blur before whipping it towards the butterfly , shouting "TIME TO DE-EVILIZE!". The butterfly was then trapped inside the pink orb, and as the Yo-Yo was pulled back to Ladybug, the Yo-Yo's shell closed around the orb, properly trapping the butterfly inside, Ladybug opened the shell of the Yo-Yo again, and out flew an ordinary, white butterfly, "Bye-bye little butterfly." She said and then looked up to Burpy and nodded, time for part two!

Black was cornered and unarmed, he then saw that the Flame was pulling out of his coat, a red and black BLASTER! Burpy then said to him in a cold voice,

" this is what happens when you threaten my friends!" He then pulled the trigger on the blaster, sending the ghoul towards black, the ghoul transformed into a devilish looking bat that landed right in front of black, then a vortex started to pull at Black and Burpy, Black was only able to say,

"I will get you for this Flame!" Before he was pulled into the vortex. Burpy then pulled out the ghoul tube with the Goon inside it and threw it into the vortex just as it closed, Burpy then ran down the stairs to get to Ladybug, when he was close, he threw the Blaster to her and she caught it in one hand, threw it up in the air and shouted as loudly as she could, "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" the Blaster burst into a whole wave of huge sparkling ladybugs, and they flew all over Paris, and whatever they touched, they undid any damage that was made by the fight,, and anyone that was turned evil was returned to normal, Burpy was over the moon,

"We did it!" He shouted with glee, Ladybug and Cat Noir came over to him and held out there fists, Burpy was confused with what this was about, to was only then that he remembered what they had done when he first saw them, he then heard out his fist and all three of them shouted,

"POUND IT!" And they fist-bumped each other, then Burpy heard a sound come from an alleyway, he saw the hole appear and knew what he had to do, he pointed at the hole and Ladybug and Cat Noir understood what he meant,

"good luck, Burpy Flame," said Cat Noir, "we owe you one"

"Yes," agreed Ladybug, " if you need help, then you can just call on us" they then waved as Burpy ran towards the hole and just heard Cat Noir calling out

"Hope you survive that Vortex!" Before the blackness consumed Burpy again, he then thought,

"Vortex? That sounds like a good name for this!" And got pulled away to another dimension.
