Bonjour Miraculous Readers!
Well this is sort of a filler chapter that'll make way for the climax at hand. Now you'll see what impact Marinette switching universes with Bridgette has taken on the other multiverses. Thanks for your constant reviews! I love seeing how many people review each chapter and what you guys, the readers, have to say about my story. Enjoy!~
6. Shattered Dimensions
Superior Universe
Paris, France was a bustling city full of life and culture. The futuristic lights of the 22th century shone everywhere, even on the polished walls of every building. Flying cars zoomed around every corners as moving platforms carried people to work. Above the city, giant broadcasting billboards floated around.
Among the people of the future, one person in particular stood up top the Eiffel Tower. She wore a red jumpsuit with black spots that was surrounded by body armor. Her gauntlets and armored boots flashed with different lights. A mask billowed behind her, flapping in the wind. Long blue hair with golden streaks were put into two ponytails. In her ears, a pair of Ladybug earrings stood out.
She was the Superior Ladybug, the descendant and new guardian of Paris. Her futuristic upgrades were courteous of her partner, Tikki. She had trained day and night until the tutelage of the daughter of the Ladybug before her. Her aspirations to be just like her grandmother Marinete Dupain-Cheng made her the hero she was today.
A annoying beeping noise went off in her earrings, the communication device forming around her ear. She smiled, tapping on the button.
"Hey mom, I'm almost done with patrol. Anything to report?"
"Other than be home before nine, then no." Her mother, Emma, replied. Without her mother and Tikki, she would be lost. "Be on the lookout for HawkMoth though. He's been quiet lately, and that's never a good thing."
She laughed, jumping off the tower and free-falling to the ground. One thing she loved about this gig was that her arch-nemesis was never around. All she had to deal with was his stupid akuamatized victims. Part of her wished that this HawkMoth would appear so that she could kick his butt.
"Relax mom, if he ever did anything, Superior Ladybug can handle him." She took out her yo-yo and started to swing around the city.
"That's what I'm afraid of. Just make it home safely."
"Fine...goodbye mom." She pressed the button on the earrings and disconnected the call. Rolling her eyes, she landed on another building.
"Man, and here I thought the future had everything." She leaned against the wall. "Patrolling is so bo-WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!"
A giant black hole had appeared in the polluted skies above her. White lighting bolts of energy came out of it. Suddenly, the world around her began to shift and distort, making it look like she was in a bad painting. Superior Ladybug jumped to avoid the debris falling from it. Swing her yo-yo, she cracked most of the debris to avoid any citizen from getting hurt. Her eyes widen as a chunk of stone hit her in the head, knocking the wind out of her.
"I really hate how much bad luck I have when I'm in this suit." She groaned, blacking out.
Genderbent Universe
"Isn't this a lovely night, my prince?"
Two figures stood up on a building overlooking the city. The first was a male with short blue hair with bangs that covered his eyes. He wore a red jumpsuit with black spots and red boots. His blue eyes was surveying the city underneath his spotted mask. In his hands was a yo-yo which he lazily swung around. Next to him, a curvaceous female laid on his shoulder. Her blond hair went down her back in curls. She had cat ears sticking out her hair, wore a black jumpsuit that hugged her skin, and wore black high heeled boots. Her gloves had claws sticking out of them and her cat tails swung behind her.
"Please get off me Catty. I don't like you that way." He said for the umpteenth time. The flirty kitty was really getting on his nerves.
"But I like you." She purred, rubbing her head on his chest. "And besides Manbug, can't we be a lover's duo instead of a superhero one?"
Manbug pried Catty Noir off his body and shook his head. "I already have a crush on someone." He thought briefly of Adrienne, his cheeks blushing. "And she doesn't even know I exist."
Catty pursed her lips as she placed a finger on his. "But I know you exist! That's why we'd be the more purr-fect couple!"
"What we need to focus on is defeating Papillion!"
These two were always going at it. Manbug remembered the day he received his miraculous and met this crazy kitten. She was flirty, easily distracted, and, to his embarrassment, kinda cute. Of course if he had to decide between Adrienne and Catty Noir, he'd choose Adrienne in a heartbeat.
"Well Papillion hasn't shown up in a week. I think we should take the time to get to know each other better." Catty moved a bit closer to Manbug, making him blush more. "Besides the Madame Butterfly can't ruin this moment."
Before he could reply, a loud ripping noise was heard. They both looked up to see a black hole ripping open in front of them. Catty gasped, taking out her baton. Manbug followed suit, getting his yo-yo ready. The black hole released tendrils of black energy that wrapped around the ladybug themed superhero, making him grunt in surprise. He yelled as he was pulled into the portal slowly. Catty sliced some of the tendrils off him, but more kept appearing. She watched in horror as her partner was dragged into the unknown portal, which disappeared as it had appeared.
She covered her mouth in shock. Where did he go?
Miraculous Kids Universe
"Hold on Bugaboo!"
A smaller, kiddie version of Marinette fell from up top of one of the many pillars surrounding the village they were in. She landed flat on her face, the dirt caking against her cheeks. Groaning, she managed to stretch out and her muscles popping.
Ugh...I hate my job sometimes! Why can't I be a normal kid with silly powers?
Bugaboo, or the Little Ladybug as everyone called her was the hero of the village of Paris. She was young, around eight years old, and had started to become a superhero only a few months of practicing under her belt. She had red ribbons that tied up her in little ponytails. Her outfit consisted of a red dress with black spots and white lace around the sleeves and bottom. In her hands was a wand with a ladybug shaped topper. Around her neck, a red cape waved. On her face was a mask with red and black sparkles. Her shoes were pointed and red.
She heard a THUMP! besides her as her partner, Kitty Noir, landed next to her. His green eyes were full of mystery and mischief. He wore a black suit with a billowing black cape, black pants, and boots. His wand was black with a green cat's paw on the top. His mask was black, tied around his head. On top of his head, a black sorcerer's hat with cat ears laid crookedly off to the side.
He reached out his hand to help her up, getting a huff from her. She smoothed her dress to get the dirt out and pouted at him.
"You know we weren't supposed to use magic to hurt people Kitty! Now the village may think we're going to use magic to take over or something!" She yelled at him.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Would you want the evil monsters to attack?" He gave her a grin. "Besides Master Plagg said that as long as no one doesn't get anyone in danger, I should be fine."
Bugaboo smacked him with her wand. "That's not what he met fool! Mistress Tikki told me that magic should be used to help the citizens of Paris, not cause them to go in a panic." She sighed, placing her wand in her pocket. "We are still in training. I don't blame you for using a little of your dark magic to save that group of kids. They seemed grateful."
"Sure did, now we have to head back before our teachers think we got caught by mountain trolls or something."
They laughed as they remembered that memory from way back when. Using their magic, they summoned their broomsticks to fly across the sky with. The thrilling excitement of using magic made them like their newfound powers. Maybe it wasn't so bad being two of the famous mages throughout the land of France.
A sharp wind caught Bugaboo's broomstick, causing her to veer off course. She got control of the broom before noticing the ominous clouds gathering around her. She gasped as she was sent into the spiraling vortex, a portal opening up inside of it. Her screams carried into the wind, drowning her cries of help.
Then all was silent.
Anti Universe
The city of Paris...once and prosperous city now in ruins. The once fortified city was now in tatters, rubble rained from all directions, and even the Eiffel Tower was now only half a tower. All around, former people were all turned to monstrous akuma due to the side effect of the HawkMoth virus. It was supposed to cure any disease, any illness, but it went horribly wrong. People began to mutate into beast of unfathomable power while the remainder became super-powered mutants.
"Antibug report..."
A black suited girl sat on the steps of the Louvre, a compact communicator in her hands. She was one of these survivors, one of the many that still were alive anyways. She smirked as the mysterious employer's face appeared in her device.
"Antibug here, I just came back from the Miraculous Universe. Apparently Bridgette Dupain-Cheng is there instead of Marinette just like you said."
"So the dimensional rift did open up? Excellent..." The voice sounded very pleased to here this indeed. "I assume you've got our allies with you in your universe."
Antibug turned around to see two other girls standing behind her. "I did, it wasn't an easy task. But both were eager to help out in your plans."
One of the girls was in a white jumpsuit dotted with black spots. Her mask was pure white with the outlines of a purple moth. Her two ponytails were tied with white ribbons and held together with a white headband. Her lips were black and her eyes were icy blue. Her white heels were spiked, her gloves were also. In her hands, a white yo-yo was swinging dangerously. She had a sadistic smile on her face.
The other was very peculiar indeed. Around her finger was the cat miraculous' ring and on her ears was the ladybug earrings. Her outfit was an amalgam of two heroes. On one side was the familiar red with black spots jumpsuit while the other side was a sleeker version of the cat suit. She wore red and black boots, her hair was let down in one long ponytail, and cat ears stuck out her hair. On her back were a pair of wings. Her mask covered her whole face, being both red and black as well. Only her eyes, both green and blue, shone out the most. None could read the expression on her face, but her eyes showed pure instability.
"Ah yes...Miss Fortune." The white one waved a gloved hand at the screen. "And the dreaded LadyNoir." The masked one nodded. "Fierce version of the one true Ladybug indeed. I hope you all are well acquainted with Antibug here."
"Oh I think she's lovley. I don't have to kill her to know she's done some serious murder herself." Miss Fortune giggled, licking her lips. "I can't wait to kill the actual Ladybug though."
"Leave her to me. I wish to kill my good counterpart myself." Antibug said, getting an eye roll from Miss Fortune.
"Fine, I'll just have to settle for the Quantic one instead. Too bad really, right LadyNoir?"
LadyNoir gave her a blank stare before simply nodding.
"Not much of a talker eh? I guess when you've obtained the powers of luck and destruction at your disposal you think your some high and mighty deity."
Antibug sighed at her giggling, rubbing her head to avoid the growing migraine. "Master, please tell me you have located other evil versions of Ladybug!"
"I'll inform you as soon as I do. For now, try and get back to the main universe and destroy Bridgette. With her gone, there will be none other in our way than the main one."
"Right away sir, Antibug out." She closed the compact and turned to her colleagues. "Shall we ladies?" She took her yo-yo and made another portal appear in front of them.
"All this portal hopping doesn't drive you mad?" Miss Fortune asked her, getting another groan from the black clad bug.
"No, now let's get going." She hopped in the portal, LadyNoir following beside her. Miss Fortune squealed and hopped in afterwards.
