New School, New Friends Chap 6
Paris 1:43 pm after the gang had lunch
"We should head to the karaoke place soon," Rosemarie remarked as she looked over her laptop and her schedule, "I booked us a big room since it's getting popular with the kids from our school and some kids from different parts of the city so we should claim our room before they give it away."
"Then we should get going," Felix replied as he got up from his seat and the others followed.
"You guys will have to go without me," Sébastian told them as they got out of the fast-food place, "I have some tutoring to get to since my mom wants me to visit my grandma tomorrow so I'll be taking the private jet to the city of London so I'll be back hopefully later today or early tomorrow"
"Alright," Allegra said as she began to walk to the karaoke
"Bye," Claude said as he followed Allegra
"Bye Sébastian and say hello to your grandma for me alright," Allan said as he patted Sébastian on the shoulder
"Bye chef," Jake said twirling on his skates and then began to zig-zag after the others
"See ya," Luka said pulling out a mini guitar out of nowhere and strumming it while then playing a tune as he and Terra began to follow the others with Terra dancing to Luka's song
"Bye," Terra yelled from where she was dancing beside Luka as they continued
"Ciao," Rosemarie said giving Sébastian air kisses
Ruby just put up a peace sign following the group
"We'll see you soon Sébastian," Felix said as he waited on the side for Marinette to say goodbye
"Bye Sébastian," Marinette said giving him a hug and then waved goodbye as Felix took her hand and led her to where the others would be as Sébastian began to make his way to his house and to go the airport.
The gang was close to the karaoke place when everybody's phones start going off with the akuma alarm and suddenly the group was a bit caught up with an explosion from the karaoke place and people running out. This left them vulnerable to being attacked by them that they lost track of each other fairly quickly making Marinettes situation fortunate as she quickly made her way to the bathroom and making sure no one was there and got ready to transform.
"Tikki, you ready" Marinette asked Tikki with a smile
"Always Marinette," Tikki said firmly
"Well then," Marinette said with determination, "TIKKI SPOTS ON"
After her transformation, she quickly made her way to where the akuma was outside the karaoke place singing at people making them into music notes. The akuma herself had purple skin, long red hair, and she had sparkly streaks around her legs and arms. Her outfit was a sea-green fishtail dress and she was wearing a sea-green coral crown, a golden shell necklace, and a purple microphone. Every time she sings a wave appears and she directs it to a certain group of people or a single person into music notes.
"My name is Mermaid Voice and you will all hear me siiinnGGG," Mermaid Voice announced while singing the last part while hitting another group of people, "No one will silence me again"
Ladybug made her way to the rooftops and in front of Mermaid Voice, "That's enough out of you Mermaid Voice"
"Ladybug, good to see you here," Mermaid Voice smirked, "Saves me the trouble of looking for you but whats this no mangy cat by your side"
"He'll be here but for now let's get started," Ladybug remarked as she began to spin her yoyo. They then began to fight with Chat Noir nowhere in sight making people wonder where he could be.
After some time passed people were beginning to question if Chat Noir really wasn't going to show as Ladybug and the akuma fought. During this time someone was broadcasting the fight from a few buildings away making the people watching also question where Chat was all the while not much was going on with the fight other than the fact that all you could hear was Ladybug and Mermaid Voice grunting noises, that is until Mermaid Voice spoke.
"You know, I really think he won't show," Mermaid Voice said in a mocking voice, "After all, you rejected him again not too long ago and we both know that the ally cat always throws a tantrum and refuses to work with you so why don't you just give up"
The people-watching cringed at the fact that what the akuma said was true since they did notice that each time Ladybug rejected Chat Noir he did tend to throw a tantrum and that fact made some people question Chat Noir's motives over time but there was still some that shipped the heroes and were saying that Ladybug should stop denying her love for Chat as they were meant to be. Though there were people out there who were against it and we're saying that Ladybug could love whoever she wanted whether it was Chat Noir or not since she had a right to her own life.
The akuma threw another round of sound waves towards Ladybug who dodged it but was beginning to get tired. But she kept fighting and dodging but decided to reply, "I'll never give up, even if it means taking you down myself"
"Oh please, you don't even know where my akumatized item is," Mermaid Voice yelled to her before singing, "And I will defeat you"
Ladybug dodged the attack and as she moved to the side she noticed the golden shell necklace around the akumas neck. This fact made Ladybug facepalm as she finally realized that the akumas theme was Disney's the little mermaid princess, Ariel and that the akuma was probably in the shell just like how Ariel's voice was in Ursula's shell necklace. With this fact in mind, she began to plan all she needed was to call for her lucky charm.
"Lucky Charm," Ladybug called out with people wondering what will lucky charm give her as that was always interesting but Lucky Charm didn't activate, "What the"
"Hahahaha," Mermaid Voice laughed mockingly, "Seems like your out of luck, hahaha, now give me your Miraculous"
The akuma sent another wave towards Ladybug who dodged the attack while trying to call out for lucky charm again but it wasn't activating which was confusing her so she recalls her yoyo into her hand which then began to glow in a way to direct Ladybug to open so Ladybug did and what appeared was a word before she could contemplate she had to dodge another attack. She quickly decided to call the word out.
"BUG BOMB," She called out the word out which then, in turn, began to make her yoyo beep so she quickly threw the yoyo part toward the akuma. Once the yoyo part hit the ground near the akuma a big amount of smoke came out clocking part of the akuma along with making her cough before it began to beep again. Ladybug quickly began to surround the akuma with a bunch of smoke before retracting her yoyo before she called out for Lucky Charm which gave her a gas mask so she put it on and went into the smoke grabbed the necklace and came out of the smoke to destroy the necklace releasing the akuma. She quickly opened her yoyo and captured the akuma in it, "No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye-bye, little butterfly"
Ladybug grabbed her lucky charm and tossed it into the air, "Miraculous Ladybug!"
Which causes the millions of ladybugs to fix everything and everyone along with releasing the akuma victim. The victim was a teenage girl who was confused about where she was, "What happened where am I."
Ladybug walked to the akuma and helped her up from the ground, "You were akumatized"
"I guess what my friends told me affected me more then I thought," The girl said as she fiddled with her necklace, "Thank you Ladybug"
"It's no problem…" Ladybug prompted the girl for her name
"Ariel, my name is Ariel like the little mermaid," Ariel said with a smile
"Well Ariel, if what your friends said to you affected you so much try talking to them about it and if they still won't listen maybe you should look into finding new friends," Ladybug told her as she began to hold on to Ariel, "Now let's get you down to the ground"
After Ladybug gently put Ariel on the ground her earrings began to beep down so as she was about to get away from the crowd she heard her name called out. She turned to see that it was Chat Noir finally appearing and with how he shouted for Ladybug people noticed him coming and some stopped to look at the possible fight that might happen and the person who was broadcasting the fight hadn't stopped yet so they were catching the whole thing with everyone still watching.
"My lady, Did you miss me? I came to give you another chance and admit that you love me," Chat said as he bowed and went to kiss Ladybug's hand.
Ladybug quickly removed her hand from his before his lips touched her. Her earrings down to only two dots with the third dot giving her a fair warning but she ignored it for a bit to glare at Chat Noir and began to yell at him, "WHERE WERE YOU CHAT NOIR AND HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I DON'T LIKE YOU IN THE WAY YOU WANT."
This made Chat Noir angry and as he was about to yell back Ladybug noticed she only had one dot left and since the second one finished disappearing. So Ladybug left Chat by himself on the street who then proceed to yell in frustration before leaving himself. Ladybug quickly found an ally way and hid there as her transformation dropped releasing Tikki from her earrings.
"Marinette are you okay?" Tikki hesitated to ask her holder as Marinette dropped to the floor exhausted.
"I..I don't know," Marinette lamented as she hugged herself, "I do know one thing I am exhausted and I have questions about the new power"
"Well we can figure out the Chat Noir stuff later," Tikki noted. Tikki then went in to hug Marinette on her cheek with excitement, "But I am so happy for you, this proves how your a true Ladybug because the only other holders to unlock another power other than the two primary ones, are Hippolyta and Jeanne D'Arc. The great thing about this new power that you unlocked is that unlike the Lucky Charm it won't put you on a time limit and you can use it repeatedly and stop it by either calling for Lucky Charm or Miraculous Ladybug. So you probably should start learning how to control the new power and practice with it."
"Right," Marinette agreed and just as she was getting up from the ground which was honestly cleaner than she thought it would be considering it was an ally way, her phone dinked informing her that she received a message so she took it out and quickly checked it and saw that it was a new group chat named Sistas from Different Mistas that she was added to and from the list it excluded Sébastian. So she opened her phone and checked out what was happening.

"We can talk about the new power later with Master Fu along with talking about Chat Noirs recent behavior," Marinette said firmly as she wiped her pants from the little dust she collected from the floor, "I just hope it doesn't come to having to take his miraculous place, I know he can be better if he just…"
"Don't focus on that right now Marinette," Tikki comforted her as she gave Marinette a pat on her head, "Right now focus on having a good time with your new friends because we both know that when you go to have that talk with Master Fu it will be draining and the results might not be what you want."
"Your right," Marinette sighed. She then shook her head and let out a sad sigh, "We should start heading to the karaoke place which proves that I may never be released from puns since the name of the karaoke place is Karaoke Oke"
Tikki let out a giggle before speaking, "We should really get going Marinette, we don't wanna keep your friends waiting."
With that out of the way, Marinette made her way to the karaoke place happy that the akuma didn't cause a cancelation of her hanging out with her friends. She arrived before everyone else since she was the closets because of her being Ladybug. But soon the others began to arrive the first being the queen herself Rosemarie. They quickly entered the building and were still able to get their room so they ordered food and went in. Marinette was happy with how her day was going.
Paris 7:23 pm
"That was fun though I gotta say Felix you could have put more effort into your singing" Rosemarie reported to Felix about his singing, "And Marinette I loved your voice. Kinda makes me regret not coming with you the first time around but you know we can't change the past but it's getting late and I have a meeting to go to tomorrow so guys, gals, and non-binary pals I'll see yall tomorrow afternoon, maybe anyway bye."
She said as she got in her limo and was driven away leaving the group to say goodbye to each other. Felix's limo arrived and since Allan and Claude, both convinced him to let them sleep at his place he was taking off to their houses so they could collect some stuff. Jake had left after his song since he got a call from his sister about a mistake and hair dye. That left Marinette and Allegra with Allegra having to convince Marinette to let her give her a ride so when Allegra's limo arrived they shuffled in and Allegra told her driver Marinettes address so they began to make their way there but the thing is that they had been sitting in silence for a bit before Allegra decided to speak.
"I have to thank you Marinette," Allegra began
"For what," Marinette asked confused, "I haven't done anything"
"But that's the thing, your presence alone has actually been good for our group," Allegra said with a smile on her face before she continued, "You were able to see the good in Felix instead of his cold exterior and have him hang out with us more, the only other person who was able to do that was Nyx, who we can't wait for you to meet by the way."
"I was only being friendly and besides I don't mind him being "cold" it's who he is and I usually try to look past the first layer of a person," Marinette explained, "And I can't wait to meet your friend Nyx when she gets back."
"That's not all Marinette," Allegra began to explain again, "Jake usually only wears skirts and other 'girly' things around people he trusts but today he decided to wear it out and proud because he said he felt safe with you around. Allan and Claude tell me they like having you around because you listen to their crazy schemes. Sébastian usually takes longer in calming down but he told us when you went to the bathroom during lunch that you gave off an aura of calmness when you were near him that he was able to come out of the funk he was in. Ruby and Terra love having a friend whose dark hair goes well with our color scheme. Rosemarie was because you have a killer sense of fashion and she loves your fast learning skill like how you were able to handle rollerskating. You and Luka seem to be chill and you can get him to talk other than him communicating with his guitar. And I just love what your presence has done to our group so yeah Marinette you deserve a thank you."
Allegra then pulled Marinette into her arms for a hug which Marinette gladly returned with small tears in her eyes. They pulled away after a few minutes past and they saw that they were close to Marinette's house so when they pulled in front of the bakery and said their goodbyes Marinette informed Allegra that she was going to be busy in the morning the next day but that she would be able to make plans for the afternoon which Allegra said was no problem since most of the group was going to be busy. With that Marinette entered her home and was greeted with kisses on her cheeks and hugs from her parents.
With that Marinette made her way to her room and prepared her clothes for tomorrow making a mental note to shower in the morning before changing into her pj's and relaxing a bit on her desk chair. She then turned her computer on and turned to Tikki. Tikki meanwhile had decided to get a cookie from the plate of cookies Marinette's parents had left for her like they always do on the desk. She noticed Marinette looking at her so she asked what.
"Tikki I've been thinking," Marinette faltered before continuing, "I want to make a website for my clothes."
At this Tikki's eyes got big before she flew to be close to Marinette's face and told her, "I think that would be a wonderful idea Marinette and that way you can get exposed more and follow your dream."
Marinette smiled before continuing about her plan for the website, "I don't want it to be just for my clothes I also plan to add on that I can do designs for albums and other accessories if they so choose and that I do custom designs for people and you know put it out there that I can do all these things so I can get started with actually trying to achieve my dream and if this goes well I...Tikki I wanna make a blog to find Hawkmoth."
Puebla 9:42 am (When Ladybug screams at Chat Noir)
"Gracias por permitirme usar tu cuerpo para encontrar a mis hijos,"* La Llorona said thanking Nyx as she held the hands of her children. She had finally found them and had turned back into the beautiful women that she was before her corruption.
"Te mereces un final feliz, especialmente después de lo que tu ex te hizo"* Nyx replied clear exhaustion showing on her body
"Bueno gracias de nuevo," La Llorona said again, " Y aquí, esto es tuyo según nuestro trato"
With that Nyx thanked the woman and the woman along with her children disappeared. Nyx looked down and saw that it was an anklet, she put it on and a new voice appeared next to her.
"Thank you for retrieving me"
"Your welcoME" Nyx screamed in pain as she fell to the ground holding her side and gasping for air. "Fuck"
"Nyx are you okay?"
"What's going on Miss?"
Nyx was still trying to catch her breath, "We have to hurry home, *gasping for air* The balance shifted even more and *gasp* Chat Noir must have done something stupid again, We have to find the rightful destruction soul before it gets worse"
"You can feel the balance of the universe?"
"Yes but will get into that later, for now, we got the only ones that would appear here just in time, we gotta look for the other once later on," Nyx said finally able to breathe normally again and standing up but she was a bit wobbly, "we should head back to the hotel, the lady exhausted my body."
With that Nyx began to make her way to her hotel wondering if she would be able to find the true destruction soul like how the Ladybug was the true creative soul and a pure one at that as if she was created by the Creation god herself instead of being a descendant of one.
Notes
*Thank you for allowing me to use your body to find my children
*You deserve a happy ending especially after what your ex did to you
