Feast

DM Notes – Alright! "Feast"! That… that was a good episode, right? We… we got to see Fu's backstory and how he… didn't mistakenly give the Miraculous to the wrong person… L-like I thought he did. I mean, that part in "Origins" was really vague. All he said is that he made a mistake and didn't want it to happen again. So… yeah.

If you read the first four chapters before Recollection was posted, sorry. I had to edit the first chapter. Thankfully, I only had to change two sentences. But, now that chapter is closer to the canon.

Now, I have a new headache to tackle. I don't have the luxury of watching these episodes on TV. So I watch them as they appear on YouTube. And somehow, they don't seem to come in order of events. As you saw last chapter, I was trying to figure out what happened first. And where would my own chapters fall. "Feast" is one episode where it's a bit janky. "Ladybug" doesn't help, because that's when Gabriel no longer wants Natalie to use the Peacock Miraculous. But Natalie uses it in "Feast". Fu leaves at the end of "Feast", but is still around for "StarTrain". So… how do I work with this? Well, let's work with the key episodes and mash us a Timeline.

-"Ikari Gozen", "Desperada", Awakener, "Reflakdoll", "Puppeteer 2", "Miracular", "Ladybug", "StarTrain", "Party Crasher", "Feast"-

Okay, so this is what we will be working with. Now for the somewhat easier part of trying to figure out why Natalie uses the Peacock Miraculous after Gabriel forbade its use. Is he an idiot? No. I think there's a legitimate reason for this that was not explained in episode. So, enough stalling. I need to rewrite this episode.

[Hawkmoth]

After Adrien left the room, Gabriel turned to Natalie. "I don't understand, sir. You have the Miraculous locked away. Yet I felt an Amok in that statue."

"Yes, that may be due to the Miraculous being damaged." Gabriel stated. "The Peacock Miraculous may not be with you physically, but using it still allowed it to give you its empathic qualities."

"In any case, this means that this is no ordinary statue." Natalie stated. "It is a dormant Sentimonster. Very old, very powerful."

"Which means you can destroy it, or bring it back to life." Gabriel replied.

"But because I wasn't the one who created, I won't be able to control it."

"I will help you." Gabriel replied. "This sentimonster may prove to be helpful for my quest. You will return to the Louvre tonight."

"Very well." Natalie replied before coughing.

"You should get some rest, before you go." Gabriel stated, concern evident in his voice.

Natalie stood with a smile on her face. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

[Carapace]

"B-but Master!" Nino and Ladybug exclaimed, not believing what they were hearing.

Master Fu had just told the two about how he lost the Moth and Peacock Miraculouses and the fatal mistake he made. And now, he was demanding back the Miraculouses he entrusted to them.

"The sentimonster will come after me, sparing the city and its inhabitants." Master Fu stated.

"But, what if it catches up with you this time, dude?" Nino asked.

"Then that will be my fate." Fu replied. "It is all my fault, after all."

"I will not let you leave on your own." Ladybug stated. "When you chose me to become Ladybug, you placed your trust in me. You did the same when you asked Nino to be your successor. I'm asking you to put your trust in us again."

"Yeah, there's no way I'm giving up. No matter how tough this monster is." Nino added.

Master Fu smiled. "Thank you, Ladybug. Nino. Thank you for everything."

Nino then thought of something. "What if we were to lay a trap for the Sentimonster?"

Ladybug turned to Nino. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"Obviously, it will be looking for the Miraculouses. Hawkmoth will most likely use this to his advantage and give the monster an Akuma to help it find us. So, we use that to our advantage and lure the Sentimonster to us." Nino explained.

Fu hummed, thinking the plan over. "As crazy as that sounds, it just might work." Fu stated. "But we will need Rena Rouge and Queen Bee to accompany you for this mission. Otherwise, the plan will fail."

Nino then rubbed the back of his head. "There's one more thing, dudes." Nino stated.

Fu, Nino and Ladybug then looked over to where the Miracle Box was hidden, implying it was the thing Nino meant.

[Ladybug]

"Ugh!" Queen Bee groaned in annoyance. "Why do we have to do this tonight? I need my beauty sleep."

Rena rolled her eyes. "Love the enthusiasm, Bee. But it was either this or give up our Miraculouses."

Queen Bee huffed. The five heroes were standing underneath the Eiffel Tower in the middle of the night, awaiting the arrival of the Sentimonster. Master Fu was accompanying them with the Miracle Box. Allowing them to have advantage over the monster. "How are we supposed to know if this thing is going to show anyway?" Queen Bee asked. "Hawkmoth could have just not bothered wi-"

"Miraculous!" Came a bellowing roar, causing everyone to freeze.

Looking towards the direction of the roar, Ladybug saw the giant blue mass of the Sentimonster bound into view. "Nevermind!" Queen Bee exclaimed.

"Everyone, into position!" Ladybug ordered.

Carapace stood by Master Fu, readying his shield for Shelter. Queen Bee stood by one of the tower's legs, trompo at the ready. Chat Noir extended his baton into a bo-staff. Rena Rouge brought out her flute, ready for one heck of a fight. Ladybug then brought out her yo-yo and began swinging it vertically in circles. They held these positions as the monster bounded towards them, hungry for their Miraculouses. "Yummy, Yummy, Miraculous!"

Once the Sentimonster passed Queen Bee, their trap was sprung. "Now!" Ladybug shouted.

Queen Bee threw her trompo so that the top went around the outside of the tower's legs, wrapping around them to form a cage like structure. Carapace then called out, "Shelter!" causing a green, scaly force field to form around him and Fu.

The monster stopped, a toothless smile on its face, before launching its tongue at the force field. Thankfully, the tongue didn't stick to magical energy. But the hit did rock Carapace a bit. Rena and Chat charged in from either side of the Shelter. Leaping at the monster, they struck the top of its head/body as hard as they could. This only got the monster's attention as it then tried attacking them instead. "This isn't working!" Rena called before dodge the Sentimonster's tongue.

"We need to find its Amok!" Ladybug called, lashing at the monster with her yo-yo.

Chat dodge a tongue lash. "Yeah, but this guy isn't carrying any – Gah! Baggage!" Chat called as he blocked another attack from the monster's tongue.

Chat then had his staff ripped from his grasp an was forced to watched the monster devour it. "Better hurry, my lady. This thing just swallowed my stick whole."

Ladybug gave a nod. "Lucky Charm!" She called out.

Ladybug then watched in confusion as she caught a metal detector. "A metal detector?" She then thought of something. "Master, when you created the Sentimonster, you put the Amok in your staff, right?" She called out to Fu.

"Correct!" Fu called back.

"And is the staff made out of metal?" Ladybug asked.

"Partially, yes!"

"Then I have an idea!" Ladybug called before twirling her yo-yo around so that it would catch Chat and wrap the two together.

"Do you think now's a good time, my lady?" Chat asked jokingly.

"Ready to get your staff back?" Ladybug asked.

Chat frowned. "Oh no. Not the tongue." He whined.

The Sentimonster then lashed its tongue at the duo, sticking to Chat's chest before yanking them into its hungry maw and devouring them, much to the horror of the others.

[Chat Noir]

To be honest, Chat thought they would be dropping into a pool of stomach acid. He should have known that, despite looking like an eyeless frog, the Sentimonster was not going to be anatomically correct. Guess it's a good thing I didn't kiss the Sentimonster that looked like Ladybug. He thought as he looked around the pocket dimension of a stomach they were in. "Wow, it's bigger on the inside." He stated in a sarcastic manner.

He then saw a bubble floating in the blue void that held his staff. "Hey, my staff." He said after swimming to it.

Chat then attempted to release his weapon by popping the bubble with a clawed finger, only for it to multiply into smaller bubbles with identical duplicates of the bo-staff. "What is that? Is it digesting things or something?" Chat asked.

"Whatever it swallows is trapped in here forever." Ladybug said in awe.

"Then we better hurry up and find out where the Master's staff is hiding." Chat stated as Ladybug turned on the metal detector.

The two then swam off.

[Master Fu]

"Well that was unexpected." Fu stated, still surprised by the action Ladybug took.

"LB has a plan." Carapace stated, still unsettled. "We just need to keep this guy busy long enough for them to execute it."

"I hope your right, Nino." Master Fu muttered.

All they could do now is watch Rena Rouge and Queen Bee fight the monster the best way they could.

[Ladybug]

The journey through the Sentimonster's stomach was longer than Ladybug expected. But, eventually, she saw exactly what she was looking for. "I knew it." She stated as the two came up to a bubble that incased Fu's staff. "It had to be intact, otherwise the Sentimonster would have disappeared."

Chat smirked. "Be careful what you wish for." He stated before calling out, "Cataclysm!"

[Carapace]

The monster stopped its assault on the three heroes. Its cheeks puffed out and it sounded like it was having some digestive issues. Rena and Queen Bee stepped back as the Sentimonster began to bloat before popping. Standing in its place amongst a shower of bubbles, were Ladybug and Chat Noir. Fu, Queen Bee, Rena, and Carapace gave a sigh. "Thank goodness that's over." Rena stated as Ladybug captured the Akuma and the Amok.

"No kidding. I thought we'd lose for sure." Queen Bee stated.

"Love the confidence, Bee." Carapace stated as he dropped Shelter.

"Well, it was immune to the Miraculouses. And I was starting to get tired." Queen Bee stated.

"But we defeated it. And that's what is important." Ladybug stated. "Miraculous Ladybug!" She called, undoing the damage caused by the Sentimonster.

"Thank you, Ladybug." Master Fu said. "Because of you, because of all of you, I do not have to run, anymore."

"We only put your teachings to use, Master dude." Carapace stated before the Miraculouses of the Turtle, Ladybug, and Cat began to beep.

"Well, I know a couple of people who need to go before they transform back." Chat stated.

"Goodbye Master." Ladybug stated before the heroes began parting ways.

[Master Fu]

"Chloe." Master Fu stated, stopping the heroine from leaving. "May I speak with you for a moment?"

Queen Bee turned to the old man as the others left. She said nothing for a moment before giving a sigh. She knew what was coming. "I am concerned about your friend. Sabrina, was it?" Fu stated.
