Before you read this I just need to warn that the songs that are in this chapter is not actually mine, and has been slightly, I repeat, SLIGHTLY changed. In this A.U., Aaron's the one who made it. If you want to know who the songs are actually from, look them them up. Now with that out of the way, you may continue.
The next day...
Aaron in his civilian form was walking down the street, hands in his pocket, humming to a song he's listening to on his dark blue and lime green headphones. He was feeling good about today because of last night. Feeling great about himself, he thought that he would take a walk. The song he was singing was very popular and was made by a music composer that, and believe it or not, became famous in just three days! After that, they started making more songs. Yet, no one knows what they look like though. All they know was that he was called 'The Ace'. It was a mystery for everyone around the world. It was a bigger mystery when they stopped making music. The last song they played was called, 'How'd You Hear Me?' It was about this horror film that's about a boy that had to find a way to get a magic book to save the town from monstrous, people eating creatures.
That's the song that Aaron's listening to. And while we're on that topic, Aaron got so deep into the song he was listening to, that he started mumbling it, then he started singing it. He sang:
"How'd you hear me walkin' by?
I was sneakin' sneaky-like, yeah
Guess the halls the amplify my
Tip-toein'
I was hidin' well but I
Can't now
No not anymore I've
Been found
Now I'm slippin' on the floor
Runnin' now
Holdin' on to my life til
I can't run
In the dark I will survive."
Little did he know, he got the attention of two nearby people. A woman and her teenage son. "If heard that voice before." "Could it be?" the latter than former said. Aaron didn't notice them and he kept on walking and singing. He went:
"I hear a heart beatin' to the rhythm of the night
Of course it's mine, how else could I handle what could be my demise?
Before I left my safety zone, I should've rationalized
No protection, no armor
Just tryna to find a few supplies
One, two, three, four, five, six
That's all I really need
Til I come back to do it all again
Makin' amends with the deepest darkness
It's my only friend
Hidin' from the death the demons offer up until the end.
Hide in the miracle station
They've got the lowest skills in observation
Gotta live up to expectations
To stay alive just one day more."
Aaron still wasn't paying attention has he unknowingly walked through a park grabbing the attention of almost everyone there while he was singing. They were whispering things to each other like, "Is it him?" and, "That's who I told you about." or, "I can't believe it, it's actually him." Aaron then sang:
"How'd you hear me walkin' by?
I was sneakin' sneaky-like, yeah
Guess the halls the amplify my
Tip-toein'
I was hidin' well but I
Can't now
No not anymore I've
Been found
Now I'm slippin' on the floor
Runnin' now
Holdin' on to my life til
I can't run
In the dark I will survive.
I see myself clearly becoming their next victim
Don't have to think twice. Boy, I would never contradict 'em
Look at them, they're terrifying and they used to be A-okay
Probably caught up in a daze, thinking about the good old days
Of the chaos world that they once inhabited
What a beautiful gruesome world, the creatures were so talented
Now with everybody's fate sealed, drowned in blood-like ink
The town's now a hayfield, I'm just tryna find a sink
so I can clean out my eyes of everything I've witnessed
I'll never be a part of these demon creatures' hitlist
Gotta live up to expectations
To stay alive just one day more."
Okay, now people were really talking about Aaron as he walked by a huge crowd of people. Still Aaron didn't know due to the fact of his closed eyes and covered ears. He continued:
How'd you hear me walkin' by?
I was sneakin' sneaky-like, yeah
Guess the halls the amplify my
Tip-toein'
I was hidin' well but I
Can't now
No not anymore I've
Been found
Now I'm slippin' on the floor
Runnin' now
Holdin' on to my life til
I can't run
In the dark I will survive.
Careful
Got to be so
Careful
I've never been so
Prayerful
In my life
But nothing's gonna slow me down or break my stride.

But nothings gonna slow me down or break my stride.

And with that, the music stopped. Aaron put his headphones around his neck, sighed, and said, "Man, that song never gets old. I'm glad it became a hit." Yet, when Aaron finally opened his eyes. He was met with a lot of people looking at him. "What's everybody staring at me for?" Aaron asked in his head. Then it hit him. "Please tell me that they didn't here me sing." Aaron slowly turned around and walked away, then started running. That made a lot of people chase after him asking for autographs, pictures, and requests.
If you haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you. Aaron was the mystery composer. The only ones who new about it were his close friends back at home and his family members. He also told Glare and Shadow the the night he met them. He was hoping that no one would find out until after the face reveal he was planning to do in a few days, but that hope was shattered after Aaron went out and sang one of his songs without any way to hide his identity.
Aaron finally made it home in one piece after four minutes of running, ducking and dodging. When he got in the house, he slammed the front door shut, locked it, then leaned against it to catch his breath. Everyone was out doing something: Aarielle was at a friend's place, and Elsie was at the park with the toddlers. Aaron ran upstairs to his room and looked out the room to see people chanting, "Ace! Ace! Ace!". Aaron wasn't used to this kind of attention, so that's why he ran. Aaron hopped on his bed then laid down and sighed in an exhausted way. "I don't see how I can get out of this one." Aaron said. Glare flew out of his jacket, and said to him, "Don't worry, Aaron. This will all be over soon." Shadow flew out and said, "How will this be over soon? Aaron's pretty much a celebrity that's known around the world, there's no way this will be a one time thing." "He's got a point Glare, I can't just wait until tomorrow for this to be over. *Sigh* I need a miracle." Suddenly there was this loud CRASH! coming from outside followed by people screaming. Aaron got up and looked out his window to see everyone who was at his door running away from a flipped over car that was sparking red electrical energy. "Not the miracle I was hoping for, but it'll work." Aaron said. He then an other car land right next to it, only this one was producing in gold sparks. He turned to his kwamis and said, "Time for first day of hero work I guess. Glare, Shadow, Shine the Light!"
Almost two minutes later...
Twilight was now running across the rooftops trying to find out where the car came from. "What on Earth could've thrown those cars?" he thought. His thoughts were interrupted when his super sense went off in his head. But instead of something telling him what to do, there was a voice. It wasn't really a voice, it was more like a scream, two of them. Twi stopped in his tracks when he heard it. "I know those screams anywhere." "Light Speed!" Twi said as he ran off towards the source. "Please tell me what I think happened didn't happen."
As Twilight got closer and closer to the sound, the source got louder and louder. When he was about to turn the last corner, there was another scream and he saw two figures get pushed into a wall. You can probably guess who. Twi turned the corner to see who knocked the duo back and saw two kids: a boy and a girl standing side by side. There was something inhumane about the two toddlers. The boy was completely gold and the girl completely was scarlet red and they were both glowing and they were both were handcuffed to each other. Twilight/Aaron wasn't surprised because he thought that something like this would happen when he and his family arrived in Paris. "Why can't Kelsey and Kid never get along?" he thought. That's right. Aaron's little siblings, D. Mike and Kelsey got akumatized.
"Okay, my turn to play." the Twilight Fighter said as he ran towards his siblings at top speed. Kelsey raised her left hand, making a nearby car rise. She took the car and threw it at Twilight. Twi saw that coming a mile away thanks to his super sense. He took out one of his katanas and sliced the car in half. D. Mike was the next to try as he did the same thing. Twilight cut it in half too. This happened for three more minutes and to be honest, Twilight was having fun. He wasn't paying attention to anything else. He ducked, dodged, and divided everything the todders had at them without a care left in his system. After the two more minutes, they ran out of cars and had to use things like dumpsters and manhole covers. I'm surprised that Twilight's katanas were able to split through the metal stuff. Even our main Miraculous wearers were surprised on how Twilight was able to make it through without a scratch. The fun stopped when there was nothing left for the children to throw. They resorted to screaming. They both let out a super-sonic scream that was strong enough to push back an entire tank. But it wasn't strong enough to push back Twilight. His speed was able to overcome the force of the scream. Twilight's still running, he's just not getting anywhere. "Now what? Last time these two screamed over something, it lasted three days. How am I gonna get them to shut their mouths?" he thought. "Twilight! Heads up!" Twilight looked up and saw two pacifiers that were red with black spots heading straight for him. "Now there's a good idea." Twi thought. When they were close enough, he swing kicked the pacifiers toward the toddlers. Coincidentally, they landed right in the kids' mouths, making the screaming stop. Aaron could now give his feet a rest. He never ran so much in his life. "Cataclysm!" Twi saw Cat Noir jump over him and head for the toddlers. And with that, Cat used his power of destruction and broke their handcuffs causing the akuma to come out. Ladybug captured the akuma, used her power of creation to fix everything, and all was good again.
"I'm not gonna lie, it felt good doing hero work for the first time." The hero in black and white said to the Miraculous duo. "Glad to have you on the team Twilight." Ladybug said. "Don't thank me, thank the speed in my soul." he said back, "The speed in my soul, that gives me an idea." he thought. Suddenly beeping was heard from the other two heroes. "Sorry to leave you in the dark Twilight, but we gotta go." Cat Noir said as he and Ladybug went up and away before they transformed back. Twilight took a deep breath and and exhale feeling victorious. He turned around to leave when all of a sudden he heard a female voice call, "Excuse me!" Twilight/Aaron turned around to see a girl that was in his class at school. She has wavy, reddish-brown hair and has on black glasses, a short-sleeved white, beige, orange, and purple stripe plaid shirt with a white tank top underneath, light blue jeans, and white sneakers with black tops. "Can I just say that you were amazing out there! I've never seen anyone that could move as fast as you!" she said, "Do you have a minute uh..." "I'm the Twilight Fighter, but you can call me Twilight." he said. "Well Twilight, do you have some time to spare for a few words for my blog?" "Sure, I guess a few words won't hurt."
At Aaron's house, a few minutes later...
"And there you have it folks. There's a new hero in town, and his name's the Twilight fighter." Aaron was finishing looking at his short interview of his hero self with his classmate: Alya Césaire. He closed out of the tab he was looking at and went to another one. The tab he's at now is the one where he records all of his songs. He ut on his headphones, and connected them and a microphone. Aaron took a deep breath, exhaled, and started recording. When the live recording started he said into the mic, "Hey my dudes, Ace here. I know it's been a few of months, but hey I'm back! It's not everyday you move to a new country and start a new leaf, but you gotta start somewhere. Speaking of which it brings me to one of the two reasons of why I'm here." Aaron turned the camera on and continued speaking, "This is what I really look like. I hope some of you aren't disappointed. My real name's Aaron and I'm the one who's been behind the voice that everyone loves hearing sing. Speaking of singing, I'm here to sing a new song to welcome Paris' new hero: the Twilight Fighter. i call this "The Speed in my Soul". I hope you guys like it. Hit it!" Aaron hit the play button on the screen, turned his camera off for the song and started singing.
"In the daylight, gonna go fast
Gotta beat the red light, ain't no time lapse
In the nighttime, I'ma keep on
Racing the shooting, stars til the dawn.
We can be friends, but I won't team up
If you wanna come along, then try to keep up!
I'm the fastest
I'm the fastest alive!
Ain't no practice!
If you insist I'm a liar,
How's about you watch me now?
I'll prove you wrong in a heartbeat!
Never gonna tell you how.
Speed just runs through my bloodstream! Yeah!
I can't even explain it,
But I know I'll never stop this feeling!
The speed in my soul!
The speed in my soul!
And I know I can restrain it,
But I'm gonna keep, keep on running!
The speed in my soul!
And nothing's gonna stop me
I'ma keep on running, oh!"
Aaron took a short break and let the music keep playing for a short while. He drank a cup of water and continued singing.
"I can't even chill or rest,
Cuz I can always see the end
My journey is forever
It's my life, I'ma do whatever!
Maybe I can take a respite,
Listenin' to a lullaby,
Or maybe
Maybe I won't even try!
So how's about you watch me now?
I'll prove you wrong in a heartbeat!
Never gonna tell you how.
Speed just runs through my bloodstream! Yeah!
I can't even explain it,
But I know I'll never stop this feeling!
The speed in my soul!
The speed in my soul!
And I know I can restrain it,
But I'm gonna keep, keep on running!
The speed in my soul!
And nothing's gonna stop me
I'ma keep on running, oh!"
Aaron took another sip from his water and let the music play for another few seconds before singing the end.
"I can't even explain it,
But I know I'll never stop this feeling!
The speed in my soul!
The speed in my soul!"
The music finally ended and Aaron turned his computer camera back on and said, "Well guys, that was "The Speed in my Soul". If you liked it please tell me what you think in the comments, subscribe, and leave a like. I'll see you guys later, peace!" Aaron ended the video and closed his laptop and sighed knowing that people were happy that the Ace was back.
