Hey, original new chapter!
Man, this was longer than I wanted it to be. Unlike the previous one.
Guess what? This chapter introduces a new O.C. for one of the Elemental Miraculous!
Shoutout to Rescue Wolf for the O.C., and for this original chapter idea, which was surprisingly longer than I thought it would be.
Five parking spots left people, get them while you can!
Anyway, enjoy!
On some weekday...
I'll never understand how François Dupont Highschool can afford so many field trips in one school year.
Why am I bringing this up? Because the whole grade level's taking a trip outside Paris in three separate buses.
As to where their going, there going to Les Loups du Gevaudan, a well known nature preserve for semi-wild wolves that's a five hour drive away from Paris.
To be honest, I don't know much about the place, but I'll do what I can for the sake of this story.
Right now, we see Aaron in his seat on the bus humming a tune while looking out the window.
In the seat in front of him he heard, "What's his problem?! I didn't do anything to him!"
He looked over the seat to see Alya and Marinette talking, Alya looking a little annoyed.
"Hey, you two. What happened?"
They both noticed him and Marinette said, "A boy and his parents moved in next door to Alya's."
"And what happened?"
"I tried talking to him and he keeps ignoring me!" Alya said, "I don't know what I did for him to hate me!"
"Who is he?"
She just pointed at the back of the bus and said, "Over there."
Aaron looked back at the end of the bus and saw the boy Alya was talking about.
He had fair skin, black hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a red shirt sky blue shorts a navy blue jacket and blue sandals.
Aaron raised his eyebrow. "What, you mean Cody?"
"You know him?"
"We ran into each other back in Paris."
Flashback, yesterday...
Aaron was waiting in line outside of a building to buy something. In front of him was the boy, Cody, who was looking around. Could've been in boredom, could've been in an alerted or observant way, I don't know.
"You alright?" Aaron asked.
Cody noticed him and said after seeing him, "Uh, yeah. Hey, aren't you Aaron Palmer?" "One and only. Any others you know that moved to Paris?"
After a while, the two broke into conversation. After the 'after a while', Cody asked a weird question.
"What's your opinion on the Twilight Fighter?" "Hm?" "Just asking." "Well, if I'm being honest, he's doing pretty good as a new hero. The black and white look nice, the katanas look cool, and anyone with super speed is great in my book. I mean, can you imagine all the things you could do with a power like that?"
"(to himself in low tone)Something told me you'd say something like that..." "Huh?" "(normal tone)I said, 'I know right?'."
End flashback!
"Turns out his mom got a job at our school, and he got a spot in one of the other classes. His name's Cody Wolf."
Weird coincidence, considering where they're going for this field trip.
"What, you guys didn't hear about it?"
They looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Well anyway, Cody ain't such a bad guy. Talk to him and you'll see."
"That's the thing. He won't talk to me! It's not like I did anything to him."
"*waves hand* I'm sure there's an explanation, Alya. You can't not like someone for no reason."
Let's go over to the boy in question, actually. He's looking out the window as we speak.
As a matter a fact, he did, not like Alya for a reason.
Here's a bit of lore:
Cody used to live in Montana before coming to Paris. While looking through Paris news one day he came across the Ladyblog and found some helpful information about what was going on there like how Aaron did. He was quite annoyed when he saw Alya's interview with Lila.
Reason one being that, in his opinion, no true friend of a superhero or superheroine for that matter would be talking about it on a public blog where anyone can just find that info. Reason two was that since Ladybug wasn't in it most likely meant that the claim was false and that no fact checking was done especially since there appeared to be nothing about Ladybug ever mentioning it. He pretty much found out Lila's lies quickly.
Because of that one interview and a handful of things involving Ladybug's identity, he decided not to interact with Alya along with another reason because of the two I just listed.
Before I can tell you the third, I have to tell you this first.
Back in Montana, Cody's dad used to be a vigilante who'd capture criminals. Growing up, he watched him do so and wanted to do the same thing.
Another thing to add to the big book of MLB secrets: He and his parents noticed on the Paris news that François Dupont Highschool was a hotspot for akumatizations. That made Mr. Wolf suspect that someone there could possibly be working with Shadow Moth. So the three of them moved to Paris four days ago to scope the scene and see what they could find.
His dad was still a vigilante, and Mrs. Wolf and Cody came to school to find out what they could.
There was literally a news story the day after they moved saying that someone in a mask and hood just stopped a robbery on their own with no weapons or powers.
Back to the Alya thing, because of the Ladyblog and a bit of her actions, it earned her on the list of possible suspects, which was the third reason he wasn't so fond of her.
Anyway, enough of Cody for now.
He's in thought right now. Even though they're all on a field trip and he could take it easy, he was still on alert. Anything could happen in a day.
Later, at Les Loups du Gévaudan...
When everyone arrived, everyone was told to make groups of three then go in and explore the reserve. There was an odd number of students, so, there would be only a pair left.
Cody looked around to see who he could group up with.
He looked to the left and saw Cyrus, Juleka, and Rose in a group. He looked right and saw Ivan, Myléne, and Nilak in a group.
He kept looking and saw that Aaron was the only one without a group. What are the chances?
Cody came over and Aaron saw him and straightened his jacket as he arrived. "Hey, Cody." That didn't go unnoticed by Cody, but he pretended not to see it.
"Looks like we're the only two without a partner." Cody said.
"Looks that way. Shall we?"
"Sure." Cody walked ahead and Aaron walked behind.
In his jacket, Shadow said, "I don't trust him. There's something up with him."
"(whisper tone)Quiet, Shadow! Do you want to get caught?!"
"Oh, I won't get caught. I'm gonna spy on him and you can't stop me. Phantasm!"
"Shadow no!"
Glare's plea went on deaf ears as an invisible Shadow flew out of Aaron's jacket. Aaron rolled his eyes.
"(normal tone)Let's just let him be. It's not like anyone can see him. Or know he's there."
You can probably guess this conversation didn't go unheard by Cody who was pretending to not hear anything.
Not sure how you're gonna react when you hear this:
Cody saw Alya's interview with the Twilight Fighter,...which was around ninety minutes before Aaron revealed himself as the Ace and was now living in Paris. Figuring that couldn't be a coincidence, Cody started to suspect that Aaron was Twilight, and ever since the talk the two had, he wanted to confirm his suspicions.
I know. Not good.
But relax, he promised himself if Aaron was Twilight, he'd keep it a secret. The last thing he wants is Shadow Moth using Aaron to get to the Elemental Miraculous.
In his opinion, those things had unimaginable power. I mean, super speed, invisibility, entrapment, stunning? Who wouldn't think the same thing? Twilight was the only link to the other Elemental Miraculous, meaning either there had to be a guardian or he was the guardian.
Either way, he had to keep the secret if he found out that Aaron was Twilight.
For Paris' sake, and Aaron's sake.
Later...
We see a different tour group in front of an enclosure that had Canadian wolves.
However, one paying the most attention was a girl around ten years old. She had fair skin, white hair, blue eyes, a dark blue Polaroid camera around her neck, a wolf plush in her arm, and had on a sky blue shirt, some regular blue pants, a headband with purple lavender wolf ears on her head, and a belt with a lavender tail at her hips.
Okay, Rescue Wolf, I know you said lavender wolf costume, but you weren't clear. Besides, this felt better. Please don't be mad.
The girl took a picture with her camera and smiled when it came out great. You could tell she was a big fan of wolves. You'd be right, she's a huge wolf fan.
As the tour was starting to continue, the girl heard some people saying things to themselves like,
"What's so 'fascinating' about some dumb mutt?" "I could be doing better things at home." "When will this end?"
You could tell these people were forced to come here by their friends and/or family and had no intention of coming here.
Her face started to grow into an upset one.
She had to listen to this all day, there was at least one or two people saying that wolves were dumb animals or terrifying creatures. One person even threw an empty cup into an enclosure.
Wolves weren't as bad as they looked, you know!
She was just about to leave with the group, when she heard, "I think it's cool that these things can run a mile in twelve minutes."
She turned around and saw Aaron who was the only one leaning on the fence among the rest of the students.
"That would mean in an hour, it would take about *counts on his fingers*...five miles."
"Ha! Only five miles?" Kim said, with Aaron still thinking.
"Actually that's actually the slowest a wolf's ever gone when it's running."
Everyone turned their attention to the ten year old girl.
"The fastest a wolf can go is around thirty-five miles per hour."
"She's right." Aaron and Max said, the former after he finished thinking. The former continued, "And watch your mouth, Kim. That's three tenths away from a panther's speed. We all know how the Animan incident went."
Almost everyone laughed and Kim rolled his eyes.
Aaron went up to the girl and said, "How much do you really know about wolves?" "Hmm, try me."
"How far can a wolf swim?" "Eight miles." "How long and wide is a wolf print?" "Five inches by four." "How far can a wolf's howl be heard?" "Ten kilometers away." "How far can a wolf hear?" "Six miles away." "How many teeth does a wolf have?" "Forty-two teeth." "What's the scientific name for the gray wolf?" "Canis lupis." "When and how long do wolves hibernate?"
"Trick question. Wolves never hibernate."
Aaron said while clapping, "Someone give her a prize! What'd you say your name was?" "I'm Luna." "Well, Luna, you really know your wolf knowledge."
"Aaron, come on." Cody said coming over, "We're going."
"Alright." he walked off saying, "Bye, Luna!"
She waved away too. She smiled a bit. She needed that.
However, right after she turned away to leave, when she heard a rude remark from Chloé.
"So what if she knows some stuff about those dumb mutts. That's all they are: Dumb. Mutts."
That was the crack that broke the dam.
Tears started forming as she ran off to somewhere.
Behind a tree, we see Luna clutching her wolf plush, looking really down.
"Wolves are amazing animals...*sniff* Why can't anyone see that?"
At that moment, the akuma and amok came and entered the picture in her pocket she took earlier, and the wolf plush in her arms respectively.
Alright, alright, I know his powers are supposed to have range, but let's pretend that unification made the range a lot bigger but not too big, okay? Okay.
"Alpha Wolf," Shadow Moth started telepathically, "I am Shadow Moth. I'm granting you the power to show people how amazing wolves can really be. All I ask for in return are the Miraculous of Ladybug and Cat Noir."
"Let's see if they're still running their mouths after I show them a lesson."
Luna's appearance changed after she got up. She now had black hair, yellow wolf eyes, a fake gray wolf pelt wolf themed tank top and leggings with silver wolf ears, and tail white boots with the bottom parts shaped like wolf paws.
Next to her appeared a completely black Dire Wolf with blue eyes.
"Your sentimonster, Ornlu, will assist you and will keep the heroes from taking your powers and make sure you succeed on your mission."
The wolf in question came over and swallowed the picture and plush.
Ornlu then let out a loud howl that alerted the ears of some wolves in their cages not too far. Their eyes then glowed yellow and they howled before going savage and heading for the fencing on the cages and broke free, making everyone run and scream in terror.
The wolves then made their way to Alpha Wolf. When they arrived, she smiled.
"Welcome to the pack."
She then cackled a bit before howling, Ornlu then howled with her, then the rest of the wolves.
"Anyone else hear howling, or am I hearing things because we're in a wolf park and it's getting to my head?" Aaron asked, posing in front of a statue for a picture.
The statue was big, made from wood, and was of a wolf and it's upper body.
"I'm sure it's just you." Cody answered, holding Aaron's phone for the pic.
"Eh, you're probably right."
Everyone was then alerted by people screaming, then seeing them run past them.
"Well, I know I'm not the only one that saw that. *looks where the people came from* Or that!"
Everyone else looked where Aaron was pointing and they saw Canadian and Siberian wolves being led by Ornlu and a black and silver wolf coming this way.
All the students started running and screaming in fear. Yet, almost everyone got away.
All that was left were Aaron, Cody, Alya, Chloé, Sabrina and Marinette, who were surrounded against the statue.
The black and silver wolf approached them and stopped when it was in front of Aaron.
It was engulfed in light and when it was gone, it changed into Alpha Wolf.
She turned to all the wolves and said, "No one attack him. He's not like the others."
Aaron raised an eyebrow as she turned around and finished, "He knows how great you all can be."
"Wait a minute, Luna? Is that you?"
"I'm Alpha Wolf now. I won't harm you, *looks at Chloé* but her on the other hand,..."
Knowing where this was going, Chloé looked frightful.
Alpha Wolf looked back at Ornlu and nodded before saying to Aaron, "Cover your ears." Aaron did so while a little confused.
Ornlu then let out a loud howl that made everyone but Aaron and Alpha Wolf wince from the loud sound.
Aaron then noticed the statue twitching. It's eyes glowed yellow before its claws started moving. It grew a pair of hind legs. The statue was alive!
It turned to Chloé and growled at her before chasing her.
"I feel like I'm missing something; why are you doing this?" "Wolves deserve to be treated with respect. If not, then the people pay the price."
She transformed back into a wolf and howled, along with her pack. Aaron however was forced to come along by them.
It's a bit later, and now there's some gray wolves in the pack.
As they all traveled down the path, Aaron thought to himself, "I need to get out of here and change into Twilight, but how do I do that?"
He suddenly felt something go into his jacket. It was Shadow.
"Get ready." Was all he said.
Aaron was perplexed.
At that moment, three canisters flew in and landed in the middle of the pack. There were three *click*s, and in a second, smoke came from them.
With the wolves' sight and smell block for a minute or so, someone in a cloak and mask came in and snatched Aaron by the arm and ran out of there with him.
When the smoke cleared, Alpha Wolf turned to her regular form and said when she saw Aaron gone, "Find him! Don't let him get away!"
Five wolves then ran in the direction Aaron went in.
With Aaron...
When Aaron and his savior were a good distance away, Aaron caught his breath and said, "Thanks, man. You have no ide- Hey, where'd you go?"
Aaron looked around and said, "Uh, Shadow, who was that, and how'd you know he was coming?"
"That was Cody."
"What?!"
"Yeah, he helped everyone else get somewhere safe, and apparently he's the kid of that guy who stopped that robbery, remember it?"
"Huh, that explains some things, and not enough. Like where he got the cloak and mask."
Hearing growling, Aaron turn around to see the five wolves from earlier.
He slowly backed up with his hands up in defense.
He said to himself, "There's not one place that's safe in France, is there?"
Luckily he was out of that wolf jam quickly because Ladybug came in, got in front of him, and said, "Go, I'll take it from here."
"I wanna know how you knew what was happening here, but I don't have time to ask and run. Thank you! Bye!"
Aaron ran off and made it behind a very far tree.
"Finally, hero time. Glare, Shadow, Shine the Light!"
Aaron transformed before using his Light Speed to run off and see what he could do to help the situation.
We run into Chloé who's running from the big wooden wolf.
She was then cornered because she was backed up against a closed café.
Fearful, she looked back up at the wolf, who growled while showing its teeth. Luckily, Cat Noir came in front of Chloé saying, "The canine and the cat. Let's see who wins."
There was a fight, and Chloé saw this chance and ran off.
Cat started to have a little trouble. For a big piece of wood artwork, it put up a fight.
However, the odds became even when a certain someone in black and white sped by and sliced away the wolf's left feet with his katanas making it fall on the ground on one side.
"Thanks Twilight." "Hey, it's what superheroes do."
Speaking of which, Ladybug just dropped right next to the boys.
"There you two are, I was just about to call you." she started, "There's a new akuma on the loose and she's turning every wolf in the park."
"Well, at least it's not pigeons this time." "Yeah, somehow wolves are a big upgrade." Twi said, honestly agreeing with Cat.
"Twilight, I need you to run around the park and make sure everyone's out of danger. Cat Noir and I will follow the howls and look for Alpha Wolf. Let's go be heroes."
The three then split up.
A bit later, on the other side of the park...
Twilight searched most of Loups du Gevaudan with his Light Speed and couldn't find a single person in trouble. You'd think that with a park filled head to toe with wolves gone loose, there'd be at least one person in trouble.
But no, he couldn't find anyone.
At that moment, his super sense went off making him go left.
He stopped to see some completely small and black wolves, probably from a picture or a book or something, surrounding a group of people, he was about to speed in and save them when-
*air horn noise*
That made the small wolves wince from the loud noise. Not wanting to waste the opportunity, he sped over and carried them out of the way and to a safe distance, one by one.
After coming back from getting the last one out of there, he came back to see someone placing flares in the wolves' way, trapping them.
It was Cody, still cloaked and masked.
"So you're the one who made that noise." Twi said, getting Cody's attention, "You must also be the one who got everyone out of danger from the wolves.
"And you're the Twilight Fighter. I've been hoping to meet you someday."
"I'll give you one thing Cody, you really are a brave soul. Yeah, I know your name. Don't worry your secret's safe with me."
Cody smiled. Not that many people would keep a teen vigilante's identity a secret.
Twilight's super sense went off again making him look behind him into the distance.
"They found Alpha Wolf."
"Well, what're you waiting for? Go help them."
"I can't without a plan. We're out numbered. There's too many wolves in this park."
"Well, why don't you get Shango or Blizard to help you?"
"No time. I can run fast, but not to Paris and back in time to get them."
He then got an idea.
"Follow me. Normal Speed."
Cody followed Twilight inside an empty building and then the hero blocked the doors.
"Think you can keep a secret? A really important secret?"
"Uh, sure?"
Twilight made his pocket appear and he dug into it.
"I'm gonna need you to be a real vigilante for this. You have experience, and you're brave enough. I need you for this. Can I trust you on this?"
"Wait, does this mean what I think it means?"
"Mhm."
He then pulled his hand out of his pocket and said, "Cody Wolf, *opens palm* here is the Miraculous of nature which gives the power to control. You will use it for the greater good. Are you up to this?"
Cody looked surprised before collecting himself and nodding. he was about to reach for it when twilight stopped him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a second. I say something first."
Cody raised an eyebrow.
"I, the Twilight Fighter, now make you the official owner of the Nature Miraculous."
The broach flashed white for a brief second, and then Twilight said, "If I didn't say that, you'd lose your mind if you touched this thing."
Cody took note of that as he took the broach, making Lily appear.
"Hello, I'm Lily. It's nice to meet you."
"Whoa, what are you?"
"I'm a kwami. When you are given a Miraculous, kwamis like me appear to give you your powers."
"Once the job is done, the Miraculous must be returned to me. We don't want Shadow Moth using plans that involve only you and I being able to touch this thing, understand?"
"Gotcha." Cody said, putting the broach on.
"I know you'll do a good job!" Lily said, "Now, to transform, say 'Lily, Nature Calls!"'
He took a breath before saying. "Lily, Nature Calls!"
Lily flew into the broach.
From the broach grew some vegetation, which spread all across Cody's body. With some arm flicks to get the foliage off, it was revealed that Cody had on a forest green long coat that had flower and leaf patterns on it, and some emerald fur on the chest area. When he extended his legs, it showed that he now had on evergreen shorts, and fern green boots. He put his hands on his face, then swiped the leafage away, leaving a jungle green wolf mask on his face. As for the leaves that came off of him during his transformation, some went into his hand making the shape of a sword, and when they dispelled, it showed A sword with a royal blue handle and a viridian blade. The rest of the leaves made a scabard in his side. Cody spun the sword before placing it in the scabard.
"Check you out. Not bad. Getting sick of seeing wolves all day, no offense, but not bad."
"So, how does this control power work? Can I just control any animal or person?"
"Yeah, but to an extent. It doesn't matter what condition they're in, as long as there's no psychic or telepathic link between them and something and/or someone else, the power works. Come on, we wasted enough time already!"
The two made it out with Twilight in front.
Cody was in thought along the way. This was a big step up from what his dad did. And with the new information he learned about Twilight and the Elemental Miraculous, he thought it'd help him and the family out in some way.
We see the Cat and Bug duo, weapons drawn, surrounded by a group of wolves, and Alpha Wolf and Ornlu standing by the crowd.
"Last chance; hand over your Miraculous and you won't be devoured."
No answer.
"Have it your way."
However, before she could give the order,
"Mind of we join the party?"
Next to the duo landed Twilight and Cody.
The latter said to the duo, "Name's Guardian. Thank Twilight for making the odds even."
Ladybug then brought the two up to speed. "Alpha Wolf doesn't have the akuma or amok on her. And it's nowhere in the park."
Twilight then closed his eyes and felt around with his super sense. When he opened them he said, "That's because they're in Ornlu!"
"Oh, great," Cat Noir said, "anyone wanna volunteer to become wolf food?"
"Dibs not it." Guardian said.
The Elemental wielders nodded at each other before running in and keeping the wolves back with their weapons.
Not wanting to waste a chance, Ladybug said the words. "Lucky Charm!"
And it turned out to be...a megaphone?
She turned in on then was immediately met with a very loud and high pitch noise coming from it, making the wolves wince, and Alpha Wolf cover her ears.
Okay, a broken megaphone.
Still useful because it revealed that she's sensitive to loud and high noises.
Twilight got an idea.
"I gotta plan. Cat, back me up with these wolves. Guardian, use your power on some of them. Ladybug, get ready."
Cat then went to help Twilight, and Guardian got back and used his power.
He opened his hand and while saying, "Dispersal!", then aimed it at some of the wolves.
A wave of green pheromone quickly spread to some of the wolves. When it came in contact with the wolves, their eyes turned completely green, signalling that they were under Guardian's control.
And relax people. It's not a 'inhale the pheromone and you'll answer to me now' thing. You can breathe it in, and you'll still have free will. It's just how the power works. Whoever has the Miraculous can control whoever or whatever they want.
Anyway, the wolves that were control, snarled at the rest, making them back away in front of Alpha Wolf.
"What are you doing?! How did you do that?!" she went. Even Shadow Moth was surprised by this.
"You're up, Ladybug."
Ladybug got in front of the wolves and said, "Cover you ears!" and turned the megaphone back on.
Just as Alpha Wolf turned into her wolf form and was about to attack,
"Wolves, howl!" Guardian commanded. The wolves did so and the megaphone amplified the volume, and raised the pitch, making a sound that could almost make you go deaf.
The heroes covered their ears, and the wolves and Alpha Wolf winced in pain. It was so painful it made her transform into her human form and cover her ears as she fell back on the ground.
Surprisingly, the noise made Ornlu unwell enough to regurgitate the photo and the plush.
"Light speed!"
Twi then sped forward and grabbed them before Alpha Wolf could try to reach for them.
He threw the plush at Cat at the same time, they ripped both it and the photo into halves.
Ladybug captured both the akuma and amok, used her Miraculous Ladybug and placed the wolves back into their preserves and fixed the damage caused in the park, and Alpha Wolf turned back into Luna.
"Pound it." the four went, bumping their fists together.
After Ladybug gave Luna her charm, the four left the scene.
Alone somewhere else, Twilight took back the Nature Miraculous from Cody.
"Thanks for your help, Cody." "Oh, it was nothing."
After he put the broach in his pocket, Twilight said goodbye and ran off.
Cody started walking back to his class as it was almost time to head back to Paris.
He just had to take note of what he learned today on his phone, so when he gets home, he can put it down on his information page on his laptop. He made it when Twilight first appeared. Everything he learned from the news and Ladyblog was on there. He's put everything he's learned about the Elemental Miraculous on that web page.
It's funny how he now had to include himself on that page.
"Reverse morphosis."
In his lair, Shadow Moth became Gabriel again and he was not happy. Nooru and Dussu could feel it themselves.
Ever since the Twilight Fighter arrived, he's been nothing but a thorn in his side; a parasite; nothing but an annoyance. What's worse, he sometimes brings these other Elemental Miraculous wearers to tear a hole in his plans.
What's even worse, Nooru and Dussu know nothing about the Elemental Miraculous, meaning there's no way of him knowing about them. He can't even find anything even close to mentioning them in the grimoire.
"Mark my words, Twilight Fighter. When you least expect it, I will defeat you, and your Miraculous will be mine along Ladybug and Cat Noir's. You will not stand in the way of me getting my wish to come true."
And, that's that.
Again, shoutout to Rescue Wolf for this story idea and being the third to recommend a Miraculous O.C..
Man, so many wolves in this chapter. But hey, I'm not complaining.
Two things before i go though.
One: Yes, you guys can recommend an original Akuma O.C. if A: it's to introduce a new O.C., or B: it's just for fun and if I like it enough.
Two: Rescue Wolf, I know you requested your O.C. to be paired with Sabrina, but I was planning on Aaron to be paired with her and...wait til next chapter.
I hope you're not too disappointed.
N-E-Way, see you guys later!
