AN: I plan for the second part to have a darker premise than the first one.

Ch 25 Birthday Extravaganza

Avenger of the Eternal Empire sat on her throne going over the final details for operation Starfall. The doors opened, footsteps made their way over to her throne.

"This is taking so long," A familiar voice of her master echoed in the room. The white-haired Servant looks down at her master with Saber by her side. "We've bided our time long enough! Ever since that failed kidnapping, you have told me not to go after her." The master shouted, annoyed with the constant waiting.

The white-haired Avenger look at her master, sighing at her impatient. "Master, I told you many times that this operation is delicate and needs to be played out patiently," she informed her. "Our task is simple, distract Chaldea. Ruler of the Eternal Empire is going over his side of the plan."

"And yet you still don't trust him," The master retorted causing Avenger of the Eternal Empire to freeze.

The Anomaly Queen eyed her master, not letting her take control of the situation. "I mean when was the last time you even spoke to him? If anything ever since we came here he doesn't even make an attempt of communications." The master waved her hand. "All he did is send a small garrison of Programs to aid us when we ask."

"Enough," Avenger stood up from her throne, walking down the stairs. Saber steps back, allowing his master to come face to face with the Anomaly Queen. "Indeed I have my doubts, but I am determined to fulfill your goal master in getting the life you want." She lied, hiding her true intentions of being here.

The master watches as her Servant circles around her. "For your goal to become a reality you have to play your part for now. As such, we plan a contingency plan for if Ruler betrays us." She looks down at her, giving her a sense of Authority. "Master, if you truly want to have your dreams come true then you need to put your faith in me."

The master raised an eyebrow. "So you do have something in mind." She inquired. "What exactly did you do?"

The Archer of the Eternal Empire stood on a rooftop of the City of Love, observing a group of friends planting trees. "A contingency plan."

"How are you fairing, Fu?" Ritsuka sat before the only living Magus in this world. Beside him were Marie, Erice, and Napoleon sitting on the mats on the floor. "Last night was pretty exciting for someone of your age." He smiles.

Fu smiles, placing his tea on the coaster. "Yes, thank you Lord Fujimaru. I appreciate your concern for me." The old man chuckles at the little joke his fellow Magus made. "As much I appreciate Ladybug and Chat Noir's successful defeat of that Sentimonster. I fear that my identity and home are no longer safe from Hawk Moth's eyes." He sighed.

Marie looks at the old Magus, curious about his plans. "Mind if I ask, what's your going to do? Do you have another place to stay, master Fu?" The former Queen asked him concern with his living arrangements.

The old Guardian shook his head as a response. "No, Miss Rider, however, I will keep moving place to place hidden in plain sight amongst the public," Fu explains what he's going to do. He took out a large duffle bag with many disguises.

"As you can see, I have come prepared for this day." Fu smiles, digging into the duffle bag taking out a fedora and some glasses. "See?"

Ritsuka chuckles seeing the poorly disguised old Magus. He leans on the table sighing at the sight. "You know, that's one terrible disguise, Fu." He points out the obvious to him.

Fu chuckles, removing the fedora and glasses. "I completely understand, Lord Fujimaru. I'm not great with disguises." He admits to his fellow Magus, nonetheless he's still going forward with his plan.

"Terrible or not, I must protect the Miraculous no matter what," Fu stated, grabbing his belongings to leave his home. "That's what it means to be a Guardian."

Napoleon smiles, comparing this Order of the Guardians and Chaldea are similar. The former Emperor went over and assisted with the heavy stuff. "This Order you belong to, it's a lot like Chaldea. Preserving dangerous information and artifacts of the world, Quelle coincidence as they say." He jokes with the two.

Marie and Ritsuka got the joke, soon Fu did too note the two are alike in some ways. However, Erice did get the part of Chaldea as the keeper of dangerous items but not for the Guardians. The Lancer just gave a small smile, getting a hint of what the Order did pending with the information she receives from the World itself.

Ritsuka calms down before telling Fu something as a decent person does. "You know, we always have the room back at base to hide out." The Magus offered his ally. "We're just there until the Anomaly is resolved," He explains.

"Other than that, our little home away from home is up for taking." Marie continues, hoping the old man would take the offer.

"As much I appreciate the kindness, you're all giving me. I can't take up your generous offer." Fu rejects the offer from the Chaldeans respectfully. He pulls the bags on his back and turns to Ritsuka. "Hawk Moth knows my face, it is unwise for me to stay with you."

"If I were to stay then he'll find your operations here." Fu understands that Chaldea's mission is far important than his. "I'm not going to risk your mission for mine, Lord Fujimaru. I'll be fine on my own, but I do intend to visit from time to time." He smiles.

Ritsuka nodded, understanding where his fellow Magus is saying. Just when he heard his phone ringing in his coat pocket. Ritsuka took out his phone from this world and picks it up, "Hello?" He answered.

"Dude! Where are you?" Nino from the other end of the phone.

"Nino? What do you mean?" Ritsuka was confused about what his friend meant. 'Was today something important?' He thought.

Nino groans, almost like he forgot to inform him of something. "Sorry Dude, I thought one of us told you." He sighs, speaking in the background of wherever he was.

Ritsuka stood up from his seat, walking to the window. "Nobody told me of anything, Nino. Care to explain to me?" He asked the young DJ.

"Dude, it's Adrien's birthday. The guys and I are planning a party for him, we manage to get past his bodyguard but you i-"

"Don't worry, I'll be there shortly." Ritsuka smiles,

"Great, see you there! Oh, it's guys' only thing," Nino hung up the phone, letting Ritsuka go.

Erice looks at his master, seeing the smile on his face. "Master, did something happen on the phone?" The Lancer asked, curious what was the conversation.

Ritsuka chuckles looking at his phone. "Nino has invited over to Adrien's mansion; I feel like I need to get him a present…" He smiles, pondering what gift to give the model.

"A present? Maybe get him something that he likes- waits, what does he like?" Napoleon questions the young Hero's interest.

"I'll figure that out when I get there." Ritsuka smiles at the Archer.

"Mind if I tag along? It's been a while since I have enjoyed myself in the outside world." Fu walks up to the Chaldeans with a grin. "There's something I want to check there."

Arriving at Adrien's mansion, he was surprised at how many people had shown up to Adrien's party, mainly males. "Speak about a house party, I'm not even sure if this amount of volume is aloud-" Napoleon paused, feeling a nudge from his master.

"Mmmm?" Napoleon followed Ritsuka's finger, showing the former Emperor Sabrina's father talking with the fireman.

"I don't think that's a problem." Ritsuka jokes, looking around Adrien's rather large room. "This is bigger than the foray at our home." He looks down at the old Magus placing down a cooler on the floor.

"Was it wise to bring that here, F-Wang?" Ritsuka asked, unsure if bringing the Mystic Codes to this place was okay.

Fu looks at the black-haired teen, waving his hand at him. "Having the Miracle Box within my reach is probably the best. If Ladybug needs a Miraculous all she needs to do is to find me." He explains, hoping this temporary thing would at least hide him.

Ritsuka shrugs, "If you say so, Wang." He looks before him as Nino opens his arms.

"Ritsuka! Glad you were able to make it my dude!" Nino greeted the Magus, hugging him and giving him a pat on his back.

"Yeah, thanks for inviting me, Nino." Ritsuka returns the bro hug, he turns to Napoleon who was grinning down at them. "Oh, you've met Darren right?"

Nino looks up at his former Emperor, a bit overwhelmed at the tall man. "No, I haven't, man." He smiles, turning to him and offering his hand to the Archer. "Nice to meet dude, names Nino." He greeted him.

"Oui, a pleasure to meet you, young man." Napoleon returns the greeting, shaking his hand. "I heard you've been nice to my master, hope you continue your relation amicale!" He laughs.

The aspiring DJ looks at the Magus, "Ritsuka, is he like your bodyguard? Cause this cool dude is built, not even the Gorilla has this huge muscles." Nino examines the built of the Emperor.

Napoleon laughs, slapping the back of Nino. "Now, now, Monsieur Nino. You're making me blush!" He exclaims,

Nino chuckles, already liking the Archer's personality. "Sorry, dude! You're just so cool!" He looks up at the Servant. "Say I bet you're strong, even stronger than the Gorilla." He smirks, nudging the Emperor.

"Depends, what do you have in mind, my friend?" Napoleon leans into Nino.

"Yo, Adrien! Get your bodyguard here!" Nino calls his friend's name,

Adrien called in his bodyguard in his room, once the large man enters everyone cheered with Napoleon standing behind a table.

Adrien smiles, looking up at the large man next to him. "So, everyone here wants to know who's stronger." He explains.

Gorilla nodded, understanding what they want from him. The Bodyguard made his way over to the table, where Napoleon crossed his arms and looks at his opponent. "So, they want you to face me in an arm wrestle competition." Napoleon grins.

All the Gorilla did was a grunt in response, he looks at his charge next to him. "don't worry, I know you can win." Adrien smiles.

Gorilla sighs, walking over and placing his arm over the table.

Napoleon leans on the table, looking at his master he saw him motioning him not to use his Servant strength. 'Try not to overdo it, Napoleon.' Ritsuka mentally told the former Emperor.

'Hahahahaha, you doubt me maître.' Napoleon ensures his master that everything is fine.

Once the two were set, Roger went over and held both men's hands. "Alright, on the count of three, this match will start!" The police officer announced.

Ritsuka looks around Adrien's room, he could tell this never happened before. He saw the joy on Adrien's face, something he rarely sees behind the false mask he wears. "Oof!"

The Magus turns around seeing a young man with a helmet, a bushy mustache, glasses, and a cloak. However, being around with disguises he knew who this was. "Marinette?"

Marinette paused, hearing her name. "Um, no. My name is-"

Ritsuka chuckles at the deep voice she's making to pass as a male. "Please, Marinette. I know disguises, and yours is poor." He jokes.

The bluenette sighs in defeat, lifting her glasses. "(Ritsuka! Please, I'm trying to hide my identity so I can-)"

"Greet Adrien a happy birthday, yeah I can tell." Ritsuka helps the young teen to her feet.

"Thank you," Marinette appreciates his help, in a deep voice to continuing to hide. She then looks to the side where Fu was dancing onto the cooler with Kim beside him. "(Master Fu?)" She questions the Guardian being here,

Ritsuka looks over to Fu, "So, you know him Marinette?" He asked,

Marinette jumps, sweating nervously trying her hardest to hide that she knows the man. "I=I have no idea what're talking about-"

Suddenly the doors burst open, revealing a man in a disco outfit with disco balls in both hands. "So Adrien, too busy for your number one fan huh?" The Villian demanded. "Well, I'm here to make sure that you'll never forget to invite me to one of your parties again!" Everyone laughs at the Villian, thinking he's all talk and no bite.

Napoleon looks at the Villian, drowning the struggling Gorilla that is trying to bring his arm to the table. He swiftly banged the Bodyguard's arm against the table, flabbergasted at how easy for him to do that.

The Archer made his way to his master, ready to get him out of here. 'Maître stay close to me,'

"I know, when he does his first move we move," Ritsuka informed his Servant of the plan.

Party Crasher rushed forward, hitting the couch which he absorbs into his disco balls. "Haha!" He went for the rest of the men in the room, first was the photographer, the Mayor, then Jagged.

Gorilla rushed forward, buying Adrien and his friends enough time to escape. Party Crasher dodges each punch he throws. "Ha-Ha! I can read your moves like reading a book!"

With one wrong step Party Crasher taps Adrien's Bodyguard, trapping him in the disco ball.

However, with his sacrifice, the others manage to escape Adrien's mansion. Nino, Luka, and Max stopped in the middle of the street where Avenger, Marie, and Gillies (Saber) were standing.

Nino noticed the latter two for being the Heroes who showed up during Hero's Day. "Woah, it's you two." He points out his former Queen and the Counter Guardian.

Avenger blinks at his best friend standing before him. "I-I, uh-"

"You three, get to safety." Marie took notice of the Counter Guardian's hesitation. She places her hand on the teenage boy's shoulder. "We'll handle the Villian, that's what we Heroes do-"

"Rider! The Villian!" Gilles informed the Queen of the enemy.

Party Crasher saw the Heroes from Hero's Day, 'Party Crasher, I want those Heroes captured! They hold the information that I desire." Hawk Moth ordered his puppet.

Hawk Moth saw the three Chaldean Servants before him. Ever since these Heroes showed up the world as he knows it become more…more unpredictable.

First was the mass murder at the Eiffel Tower, luckily that disaster was reverted. Then the kidnappings, along with the strange surge of energy, the sudden pop-ups of strange creatures, finally the disappearance of his wife and her appearing with these Heroes.

Everything that occurred happened when they first arrived. Hawk Moth clutches his fist, looking at the upcoming fight. "Whoever you new Heroes are, I will find out what you're planning with Emilie." He growls, raising his cane he relays one order to his puppet,

"Capture them all, Party Crasher!" Hawk Moth orders his puppet to capture them, wanting to question the New Heroes.

Party Crasher smiles, obliging to Hawk Moth's demands. "Yes, Hawk Moth. I will not fail you." He held out his disco balls at the Chaldeans, challenging them to a fight.

"You three, the New Heroes of Paris!" Party Crasher called them out. "Hawk Moth wants you captured, and I'm here to fulfill it!" He steps back, in preparation to lunge at them.

Avenger looks at the teenage boys behind them. "The three of you, get out of here now!" He yelled.

Nino, Max, and Luka nodded, having faith that the Heroes would defeat the Villian "Good luck dudes! You'll need it," Nino said.

The three went into separate directions to avoid capture from Party Crasher.

"Now, this is a Party." The Villian smiles, lunging at the French Servants.

"Be wary of his disco balls, they can capture you easily!" Avenger warns his allies of the powers this Villain possesses.

Marie slides forward, creating a shield out of crystals to deflect the Villian's attack.

Party Crasher's eyes widen, seeing that his power didn't absorb the Shield or her for that matter.

"What!?" Both Hawk Moth and Party Crasher were perplexed by the failed absorption.

The French Queen smiles happily at the enemy. "You'll be surprised, we're not your average Heroes yourself and master are familiar with." Marie smiles, letting Gilles move past her.

"Hup!" Gilles slashed at Party Crasher causing him to fall back. the Saber held his sword at the Villian, giving a chance to surrender. "Surrender, you're up against veteran Heroes."

"Like I would listen to you!" Party Crasher blasts a ray of light at the Chaldeans, prompting them to dodge the attack.

He continues this phase of the attack, seeing it's the only way to avoid the physical attack. 'Damn, they're fast.' However, with the new powers he'd required from Hawk Moth, he could tell their next move.

Party Crasher predicted Marie's steps and rushed at her. "There, can't outrun me. I'm already a few steps ahead!" The Villian lunges in the air, just inches away from touching her.

Avenger slides on the concrete, seeing Party Crasher about to absorb the Queen he dashed over. "Rider!" The blonde Counter Guardian pushes her to the side, releasing his claws and swiping at him.

"NGH!" Party Crasher blocks the attack with his disco balls and landed in front of him. "Well, gotta admit you three are tricky to read. But I'm getting the hang of your groove." He smiles at the Counter Guardian.

Gilles appeared behind him, his sword ready to slash. His eyes widen seeing the Villian's head turn to face him. "Don't think a sneak attack would work. I read that before you even do it!"

"Damn," Gilles landed, before dodging the disco balls.

"I figure you guys out, the reason why I didn't absorb you at all." Party Crasher grins. "It's because-"

"Your powers are conceptional, so I won't be able to absorb you." The Villian commented on what Hawk Moth told him. "If I do this!" He leaps forward before being knocked away from Ladybug

Ritsuka ran out of the mansion after Gorilla's distraction, his Saphire eyes caught Fu hiding behind some cars. 'Wang,' He turns to Napoleon catching up to him.

"Maître, shall I assist our Grand Armée?" The famous General asked for his master's permission.

The Magus looks at the current battle, Marie was able to deflect the Villian's attacks with either Gilles or Avenger striking at him whenever he got a chance. "No, I don't think we need to intervene. They have it handled, for now, let's regroup with Wan-"

Ladybug and Chat Noir arrived from the sky, landed in front of the two. The bluenette looks at the two, pointing to the exit. "You two, there's an open path for you to take."

"Yeah, we'll distract Hawk Moth's villain." Chat rushed forward, jumping to strike him.

Ladybug turns to the two standing behind them. "Go and find someplace to hide, we'll handle Party Crasher." The bluenette joined up with her partner in fighting against the enemy.

"Let's go, Archer." Ritsuka ran over to Fu with Napoleon following him closely.

Fu observes the battle between the Villain, Heroes, and Servants. "This is bad, Wayzz there's a lot of commotion here,"

The little green creature floats out of his hiding spot within the Guardian's clothes. "Indeed master, but what're we going to do?" Wayzz asked his owner.

The old Magus ponders, figuring a plan when he heard running footsteps next to him. "Wang!" Ritsuka came up to him, Napoleon kneeled behind the car ready to get his master out.

"Lord Fujimaru, I figured that your Servants would get involved if you're in danger." Fu smiles at the Magus next to him.

Ritsuka chuckles, looking at the battle before them. "Lucky Charm!" He heard Ladybug use her powers to summon her lucky charm.

"A cassette tape?" Ritsuka questions the charm the Hero of Creation has.

Avenger knows how this turns out in the end; he looks back at his allies forming behind him. "Rider, Saber whatever happens here we must not get too involved." He stated,

Gilles raised his eyebrows, unsure what the Counter Guardian means. "What do you mean, Avenger?" He asked, watching him look at where their master was hiding.

Avenger took a deep breath and use the bond he made with. 'Master, I need you to get something from a specific area.' The Counter Guardian asked the master of Humanity.

Ritsuka blinks, hearing the Avenger through their bond. 'What do you have in mind, Avenger?'

'I need you to find a boombox for that cassette tape.' Avenger informed the black-haired teen of the plan. 'While doing that, Fu goes and finds Kim to give the Monkey Miraculous to him.'

'Why the Monkey?' Ritsuka asked the blonde Servant, wondering why the Monkey Miraculous is needed.

Avenger dodged a beam from the enemy, landing in a safe zone. 'Trust me, Fu will explain what that Miraculous could do.' He stated, leaving the rest to his master.

Ritsuka turns to his fellow Magus, going with the plan Avenger told him. "Fu, do you have the Monkey Miraculous?" He asked the old Guardian.

"Mmm? Do you have a plan in mind, Lord Fujimaru?" Fu asked the master of Chaldea,

Before Ritsuka could answer a loud explosion caught their attention.

Ladybug was tossed across the air; she saw a spot to land so did Party Crasher.

"Ahahaha! I figured where you were landing there," Party Crasher dodged Marie's sword, ad Gilles's strike.

The Villian rush through the Heroes trying to stop him. "Hahaha, can't stop me!"

"Yeah, think again!" Chat Noir tried to strike him down with his baton, but like the others, he'd missed.

Ladybug's eyes widen when Party Crasher arrived in front of her. "Yeah!" He taps her chest, absorbing her within his disco balls.

Marie and Gilles's eyes widen when the Villian captured the Hero of Creation. "NO!" Chat growls, not thinking the consequences when he attacks.

Avenger caught the belt of Chat Noir, preventing him from doing anything foolish. "DAMNIT! LET ME GO!" Chat cried.

The Counter Guardian sighs, forgetting how rambunctious he was back then. He shook it off and went to scold his younger self. "Don't be foolish, you'll be captured too," he stated the obvious.

Chat clenched his teeth, knowing that Avenger was right. Gilles shortly joins up with the two, "We need to fall back to plan a better strategy." The Saber said to the two blondes.

Marie agreed with her fellow French Servant, her eyes then caught Party Crasher heading for them. "We won't be able to escape if we are captured too," Using her skills to create a barrier to buy them enough time to escape.

Party Crasher groans, "Man, what a party downer." He smiles seeing an opening between the crystal barrier. "But I see a way into the party."

Avenger sees an alleyway between two buildings. "There, we can regroup in that alley." He points to the alley. 'Master, now's your chance.'

'Understood, we'll be back,' Ritsuka responded through the bond.

"Let's get going," Gilles heads over to the alley with Marie next to her.

Chat looks at the retreating group. "Wait, we're leaving!? What about Ladybug!?" He shouted at him.

Avenger groans, picking up Chat by the waist which he does not like. "Hey! What are you doing, why am I being held like this! Put me down, you jerk!" Chat exclaims at the Counter Guardian, hating the fact he's being manhandled.

"Just shut up for once, when you say that your stupidity hurts my head, you idiot." Avenger groans, hearing his teen whines.

The Hero of Destruction's eyes twitches at the name he called him. "IDIOT!? Who are you calling an idiot, you idiot!" Chat yells at his future self.

Avenger rolled her eyes and jumps away from the current battle to join with the others. While jumping, the Counter Guardian sent a message to his master. 'Master, go now. You can find the boombox at Marinette's grandfather's bakery."

'Got it, I'll be back soon.' Ritsuka turns to Fu, taking out the Miraculous they need.

Fu retrieved the Phoenix Feather Pin from the Mircale Box and handed it over to Ritsuka. "Here, you might need this Lord Fujimaru." He said to him.

Ritsuka took the Pin from the Magus which in turn released Phee. "Well, long time no see Lord Fujimaru." The Phoenix Kwami smiles at her owner. "So, where we're going today?"

"We're looking for a boombox, Phee." Ritsuka smiles at the Kwami before him. "Now, Phee Ignite the Flames!" With those words, he immediately transformed into Helios.

Fu took out a circlet from the Mircale Box, "Is that-"

The old Magus nodded, "The Monkey Miraculous, it has the power of Derision." Fu explains the power of this special Miraculous. "It can disrupt the power of others to their advantage." He smiles having an idea of who to give this to.

"That smile, I take it you have someone to use the Miraculous?" Napoleon noticed the upward curve on his face.

"Indeed, Archer. Now let's get this plan on this plan on its way." Fu, using the remaining Mana and made a dash to the Agreste manor.

Napoleon looks back at his master, "Ready maître?" He smirks at the young teen Hero.

"Let's go," Ritsuka jumps on the roof with the French General in tow.
