Chapter 14
Hi! I was gone on vacation and unable to publish any new chapters and here I am with one :3
And bad news -_- I accidentally deleted my account on Wattpad on trying to log in and haven't managed to get it back sadly, so at the moment I will publish the rest on Ao3 and FFN, later on, I'll mention if I'm back with it or have to start all new again.
And let me fangirl for a moment: SNOW QUEEN 5 HAS FINALLY BEEN ANNOUNCED!
Ladybug jumped above the houses of the city looking for the new villain, Hawk Moth had created to challenge the heroes.
Ladybug got close to a large plot, where a boarding school was located and spotted a crowd of students running across the street to flee from the supervillain, Ladybug observed the villain, which had pink skin and a dark-pink overall and a pair of glasses shaped after the letters A. Ladybug noticed the villain move her hand up showing a black watch shot out rays in various types of shapes. Ladybug furrowed her eyebrows curious as she saw the word nitwit been shot at the back of a student.
„She throws words at people?" Questioned Ladybug seeing another insult hit another student on the back. „Alright," Ladybug commented getting down off the building beside at the alley and spied the villain making her way up into the inside of the city, afterward Ladybug used her yo-yo and swung up from light pole to light pole following the akuma.
Fire King reached from the other side of the city the quarter, where the akuma villain had passed by, then encountered a few students, which were standing around paralyzed and Fire King approached the first student, then looked at the person, that had a shocked facial expression,
„You're alright, girl?" Asked Fire King, then the person rolled her eyes at Fire King fearful, then packed him on the lapels of his outfit.
„Get away from me! I'm a disaster!"
„No, you're not," Responded Fire King confused. „What's going on? What happened?"
„Crossword was right, I'm clumsy. I'm a disaster everywhere. I keep tripping over things without knowing it,"
„Uh okay and is Crossword a code for something?" Asked Fire King watching the girl break down in tears. „No, no, no. Don't cry," Commented the superhero patting her on the shoulders, then looked at the other students noticing a few unstable and others wielding a tragic facial expression. Fire King moved to the next student to question him.
„Hey que pasa?" Asked the redhead.
„Crossword told me I was a nuisance. And I don't even know, who she is, That was just bad, man,"
„Okay, I'm going to take care of this Crossword. Stay here with the others," Commented Fire King and ran forward getting to the road, that stood beside the Seine, then he looked along the road spotting Ladybug on the other side of the Seine heading towards the Trocadero.
„The villain must be there," Commented Fire King, then he heard someone call his name and he turned around to see Lady Frost show up. „Lady Frost!"
„Great to see you here," Commented Lady Frost making Fire King smile. „You're ready to fight again?"
„I want and I am," Commented Fire King. „You too?"
„Just a little worried, you know,"
„Don't worry, we got this," Assured the redhead placing his hand on the newbie's shoulder for comfort. „What do you say? Shall we go?"
Lady Frost nodded, then looked along with the redhead along the road to see the place Ladybug had left to find the supervillain, then both rookies ran together on the road to follow the leader.
"Are we really going to run the entire way down to Ladybug?" Questioned Lady Frost looking at Fire King which shrugged his shoulders.
"Honestly, I don't think we're going to go this far by feet. We only have our powers so far and our usage of is somewhat unlimited,"
"That's what my spirit told me. I can only create ice unless I try to freeze the road for us to slide on?" Suggested Lady Frost, then Fire King stopped followed by the blonde.
"That could work, but maybe we have to freeze the entire street first before we go up on it,"
"Give me a moment," Ordered Lady Frost using her hands to spread out the cold breeze out of her hands causing a slippy ice surface along the road, while Fire King stood beside her watching the road freeze.
"Magnifico! Good job!" Complimented Fire King holding up his hand so Lady Frost could high-five him. "Now we can slide forward to the end of your field, then later on you can create another layer for us," Fire King announced earning a nod from the blonde, and Fire King jumped at the ice, then slid on his boots forward similar to ice skating the first then he heard Lady Frost flinch and he turned around to see her on the ground, scratching her back. Fire King slid down at the girl on his knees, then helped her up carefully.
"You're okay?" Asked the brown-eyed superhero watching into the ice-blue eyes of the heroine, that felt embarrassed from her fall.
"I'm sorry, I'm not really the very best ice sledder,"
"It's your first time?"
"I've done it once, but it's been a long while," Responded Lady Frost turning a little pink remembering the night the friend she had made recently, where Rollan had offered her to ice skate on the surface of Lake Gao.
"Alright, give me your one hand, and let's take it slow. One foot after the other," Commented Fire King beginning to move forward followed by Lady Frost, which tried to keep up herself on her feet. Lady Frost moved well along the ice, then made a mishap and flew down, luckily Fire King placed his hands on the taille of the heroine and helped her up again, waiting until she was ready.
"Try keeping yourself balanced, when you're ready," Commented Fire King earning a nod from the girl, which continues to be holding Fire King's hand. Thereafter, Lady Frost lets go of Fire King's hand, moving on her own making the boy smile and follow her.
"We're almost at the end of our way" Warned Fire King watching Lady Frost raise her arms to use her powers again extending the ice forward near to the bridge that would lead to the near of the Trocadero. "Great!"
"We just need to go over the bridge and turn right and we will encounter her," Commented Lady Frost and watched Ladybug jump around trying to dodge the words she was been thrown with. Lady Frost returned her eyes on the ice, then noticed they were reaching the bridge and she turned her hands at it to freeze the ground, including forming a small wall where Fire King just slid against it, getting the curve done and move along the bridge. Lady Frost sighed in relief, then noticed Fire King turn around to slide on his feet backward and leaned his hand forward at the heroine.
Lady Frost remained unsure about his offer, then she gave him her hand and he moved on backward leading the girl, afterward she offered the boy the other Hand, which he took. Lady Frost gazed at Fire King, which smiled at the heroine during the ride and she mirrored his expression later on, thereafter the dead-end of their path reached and both dropped together on the floor, landing next to each other.
"I thought the ice wasn't over yet," Commented Fire King getting up, followed by Lady Frost and they shrieked as towards them a large word got launched hitting the Ice behind them. "Woah!"
Ladybug appeared by the two rookies and wielded her yo-yo as her protection shield.
"What took you so long?" Asked Ladybug.
"We have no other way to get anywhere faster" Replied Fire King. "This was improvised,"
"Watch it!" Shouted Lady Frost seeing Crossword aim a word towards the trio and Fire King immediately threw a fireball towards the villain to destroy it.
"Damn it!" Complained Crossword making Fire King grin.
Crossword shot another word against the trio, then dropped her mouth as Lady Frost had frozen her insult which dropped in mid-air.
"You're calling me a female dog?" Asked Lady Frost confused as Fire King positioned himself next to the word to be ready for the next attack.
"Uhm that word gained another meanIng during the last few years," Commented Ladybug. "It's not a beautiful one,"
"I've got one word for her as well. Fire!" Exclaimed Fire King launching another fireball at the supervillain, which shrieked and jumped aside throwing from her watch exclamation marks, that almost had hit him but were shoot aside by Ladybug.
"Take this one!" Yelled Fire King creating another fireball at the same time the villain aimed single letters against the redhead and he kept holding his fire open to burn the words. Crossword walked forward to have a stronger aim against the fire-themed superhero and Lady Frost, gave an ice shot against the blaster of the supervillain, which quickly had gotten the ice destroyed making the blonde frown, then she looked at the feet of the villain and froze them with her powers.
"Muy bien," Commented Fire King, then Ladybug stepped behind the redhead and pointed at the villain earning a nod from the boy. Fire King shrieked as the ice was broken With the Blaster of the villain and Lady Frost reacted and froze the ground under the villain to let her slip down on her knees.
"Try to freeze her arm," Warned Fire King watching Lady Frost shot ice at the villain, which moved her hand away to dodge the laser beam.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug cried as well during the fight of the others and she received s ladybug-themed a curling iron. "Wow, now that's...practical,"
"What is that?" Asked Fire King looking at the iron, then shrieked as Lady Frost got hit by a word and saw the villain laugh.
"You're not as good as you claim to be," Commented Crossword and Fire King saw the word mediocre disappear in front of Lady Frost.
"You can't judge someone just for seeing it one time," Mentioned Fire King approaching the supervillain, then by accident he slipped over the frozen ground and Lady Frost had built for the villain. The villain cackled and run off leaving the trio behind, therefore Fire King got up and helped Lady Frost up, which was a little disappointed with the situation.
"Lady Frost, whatever she called you, she doesn't have the right to criticize you without any other knowledge. You're way better than you think. You just have to get the chance to show it and I know you have it," Fire King commented making Lady Frost nod and see the villain head to the large fountain.
At the Jardins du Trocadero. Lady Frost ran behind the supervillain, then Ladybug had a plan and rolled her eyes at Fire King to signal him to follow the two.
Lady Frost threw ice at the ground and the villain began to dodge it by jumping up and down. Later on, Lady Frost missed her again but managed to freeze the first bit of the fountain, then Ladybug whistled earning Lady Frost's attention. Ladybug pointed at the lake and folded her hand into a fist, confusing the newbie and Fire King rolled his eyes at their communication and interrupted the two.
"She told you to freeze the entire thing!" Warned the Spaniard, then the supervillain, who heard the command turned around to shoot a few words toward the heroine to prevent her to use her ice on the fountain but the words. Fire King got beside the ice-themed superheroine for assistance but got surprised at seeing the villain leaving, yet Fire King didn't want to give up and formed a fireball to launch it against the supervillain, which jumped back on the frozen bit and reversed away from the trio as she began to aim the group with insults.
Ladybug hid down on her knees behind the elements-themed heroes and threw with her yo-yo attached to the curling iron and watched it crash beside the supervillain, which got her feet stuck in it and felt down into the hole with the water up to her arms.
"Okay the flapping creature must be inside the corsage there," Commented Fire King watching Ladybug take up the arm of the supervillain to hold it against herself, then the supervillain shot a word at Ladybug's face shrieking Fire King and Lady Frost.
The redhead quickly removed the corsage of the villain's hand and crumbled it between his hand with the fire and the akuma got out of it.
"You're lucky the citizens have forgotten about who exactly led Paris one day to doom as almost all superheroes had their identities uncovered. A real superhero wouldn't have let it come to this point," the villain said shrieking Ladybug about the comment, then Fire King shook the blue-haired heroine on the shoulders pointing at the akuma, then Ladybug remembered that an amok may be missing and removed the glasses in A-shape from the villain, then smashed it on the ground to release the feather.
"There are two? Asked Fire King exchanging looks With the blonde which shrugged her shoulders.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" Shouted the insect-themed superheroine restoring the metropolis back and the villain turned back into a Gothik-dressed girl with glasses, short hair, and black and gray-colored braces.
"What happened?'" Asked the girl placing her hand on the forehead, then she noticed the glasses and took them down. "They're not broken," Mentioned the girl, then recognized Ladybug and the two rookies. "You fixed them and...Did I do something bad?"
"Everything is fine now, don't worry," Commented Ladybug. "What school are you from and what's your name if I may ask?"
"I'm Alita Shephard," Responded the girl. "I'm at the boarding school Kadock. I don't remember many things but I believe I was akumatized because Hawk Moth knew my classmates bullied me for being too smart and have an advanced memory,"
"Some kids can be really harsh with others who got good talents," Commented Fire King neutral at the girl's story, making Lady Frost nod.
"You don't have to listen to their opinions, it only matters what you think about yourself. Being incredibly smart has its perks. You can help others out with it or get anywhere in the future farther than anyone else can. Your way more important than you're credited for,"
"They don't really seem to listen to me or care about what I say. They just keep being mean.,"
"Have you tried ignoring it or standing up for yourself?" Asked Ladybug making the girl nod.
"Yeah and the result was, that they broke my glasses"
"You know some kids just don't want to change," Mentioned Fire King, and Lady Frost shook her head.
"No one in the world is evil. The world is what you make it. You cannot blame everyone for your problem or the entire world," Commented Lady Frost.
"Yes, I give you right. The issue here seems that they don't seem to do that," Added the redhead.
"You know I have one suggestion for you, that could help you. You could...straight on defend yourself when they come at you. Maybe tell them why you like yourself that way or why you're superior to them," Suggested Ladybug. "Do you think you can do it?"
"I can try," Responded Alita, then Ladybug opened her yo-yo to take out a small magical charm and handed it out to the girl.
"Here this protects you from getting akumatized by Hawk Moth. Wear this and eventually, you can use it to think about us three giving you a few advice for help If you feel like you can't do it alone, just remember about what we told you and try," Ladybug said attaching the charm around the arm of the girl, then the young teenager gave Ladybug a hug making the heroes around them smile.
Cat Noir showed up landing near the group, then noticed all around the girl and he smiled, then took his staff back.
"I see you made it without my help," Commented Cat Noir, then Ladybug got up helping the girl.
"Fire King and Lady Frost made it to get her down" Commented Ladybug. "Still I appreciate your appearance,"
"You're welcome," Responded Cat Noir bowing down. "Anything new?"
"I'm wondering if Hawk Moth can talk through akumatized people or not. I almost got the impression he can do that too from all the things he mentioned that only Hawk Moth witnessed,"
"Okay, look I bring the girl home, you three can go home or continue what you were up before," Mentioned Cat Noir, then Ladybug used her yo-yo to leave as Cat Noir picked up the staff to jump away with the girl leaving the rookies back.
"Are you leaving too?" Asked Fire King stepping forward as the heroine watched the main heroes of the capital leaving.
"I feel like I'm more of an obstacle rather than a helping hand in this," Lady Frost mentioned. "I feel like this is all wrong for me,"
"Lady Frost, we're new in this situation. We haven't got the practice Cat Noir and Ladybug do. We still have to get to know our powers. We haven't been able to use it to the fullest. Our spirits told us, that we can do a lot with it, it's just up to our imagination," Fire King commented placing his hand behind Lady Frost's back. "I don't want in the end that the city or the superheroes end in doom because of my lack of competence in this,"
"You know, we're both new in this. We could meet up together a few times and practice together and help each other out. What do you think?"
"You're okay with it?"Questioned Lady Frost. "You've got your own private life and you would work along with me just so we get better?"
"We don't need to do it every day. I've got to catch up at school and at home...better I need to organize my life somehow, so we're capable to meet up at least one time per week, eventually,"
"I'll be doing the same then or try at least...thanks for your offer,"
"No problem, we're now partners in one way or another," Responded Fire King holding up his fist, then the heroine did the fist bump on the hero. "If you need someone to talk about this, you can talk to me if you want" Assured Fire King making the blonde nod and the girl watched Fire King take his arm down, afterward she got close to hug the superhero surprising him.
"Thank you" Responded Lady Frost making the redhead smile and pat the girl on the back.
Isn't it funny, that Gerda resembles in the new redesign Anna? (Well they're the same person in a way) or is it just me?
