Fangires in Paris Chapter 5
It got to the point where I wanted to update this story. Technically with this chapter I go through six episodes enjoy along with some explanations.
I own nothing!
:Chapter start:
Three weeks after the Dancing Kiva battle-Kurenai Manor-Saturday
Wateru was currently working on making violins while behind him Megumi was lying on his couch eating chips much to Wateru's silent annoyance. An annoyance that he would not voice as he was too much of a coward or the other truth in that Megumi would not believe him and continue what she was doing. When she was not there, she was at school or training with Jiro to fight Fangires. The reason being is that her identity as the heir of the Doley Family, along with everyone else by the man who received a divorce from one of the heirs only to learn that he would receive none of the inheritance as stated in an audit that the Doley Families Lawyer assisted causing him to receive nothing. Since then there had been three more Akuma, Rogercop, Copycat and Illustrator, the entire time Kiva was not needed as all had been quiet.
Now Megumi was lounging around in Wateru's workshop, reading a magazine while Kivat did his best to remain hidden in his box on the wall. Megumi then spoke up to Wateru asking, "Let's order a pizza for dinner," Wateru just nods as Megumi stands heading towards the phone before asking, "I should invite, Marionette, Alya and Hansha over for a sleepover." Wateru just nodded before Megumi says, "Maybe have a bikini pillow fight," Wateru just nods getting Megumi to sigh and say, "Wateru you are not listening to me again!" as she gets him to turn around and grab each cheek pulling them apart.
Wateru groans as his cheeks are stretched before he hears the doorbell and Megumi releases him to get the door. Wateru opens his front door to see Mamora and lets him in. Mamora reached the workshop and says, "Hello Megumi, Do you mind if I borrow Wateru for a couple hours?" Mamora looks to Kivat and Kivat nods.
Megumi simply says, "I was going to invite a couple friends for a sleepover."
Mamora sees Wateru shrug before saying, "No wild parties," Megumi nods in understanding. Megumi's back was turned Kivat flew into Wateru's coat as he walked with Mamora to his car. Mamora simply says, "I suggest you transform into Kiva on the drive I am introducing you to the Share holders, but they won't know your real name."
With that Wateru transformed into Kiva as they drove through the city until they reached the Organisation's French Study Facility, or to the public, a public hospital. A facility that Kiva knows quite well, Kiva asks, "Why are we meeting here?"
"Nago, does not know of this location," Mamora states before saying, "You will be meeting with several members of the Organisation's Commanding structure. That being said, I understand if you would prefer to have Kivat speak for you. Just avoid mentioning your identities."
Kiva nods as Kivat says, "Very well, what else do we need to know?"
Mamora nods and says, "Yeah, these are the people who control who gets the IXA gear. Don't make yourselves out to be a threat and I can get clearance to choose his replacement." Kiva nods as the Limo goes into the underground parking area and reaches the lowest level before driving into a hidden elevator that drops them down another level into the hidden parking of the room for the Organisation. The Limo parks allowing Kiva and Mamora to step out and walk into the facility, with a couple guards following the two through the facility past a couple containment units that has four Fangires are playing a game of cards, in their human forms only with the stain glass markings on their faces. Though on their right arms was a transmitter and medical scanner that showed their health.
Mamora and Kiva continued past them and into a large board room where Mamora and Kiva sat across from ten people in suits and began the meeting which would result in big changes in the future.
With Marionette-Three hours later-Kurenai Mansion.
Marionette, Alya and Megumi were walking into Wateru's home with sleeping bags and a bag each as they walked into Wateru's home with Megumi letting them in. Megumi looked around at the violins that were being made as Marionette asks, "So Wateru said it was okay for us to be here?" she asks as they moved down the stairs.
Megumi answers with, "Yeah, fortunately he has been using flower petals to make vanish. Better then the dead fish or animal poo he has been known to uses," Megumi chuckles as she takes a seat on Wateru's bed before she says, "Pity Wateru is not here to join us, like when we were kids."
Alya raised an eyebrow at that as she asks, "You want a boy to join us during a girls' night?" That caused Hansha to look at Megumi.
Megumi smirks and says, "Well he was super lonely and shy when I first met him. We did this to help him get comfortable around people his own age."
Marionette asks, "Really, how many kids did he do this with?"
Megumi frowns and says, "Well Mamora wanted him to be comfortable, instead I basically got all the kids into it by the second time we did this."
Alya asks, "What happened to these other kids?"
Megumi frowns before saying, "I don't know, Mamora said that new homes were found for them," she was slightly depressed at that thought. Megumi then adds, "Didn't even get to say goodbye."
Alya then says, "Well you are loaded now, why not search for them. Hire a private investigator or something?"
Megumi frowns at that before saying, "Yeah, That might work."
"Why not just ask Mamora?" Marionette questions only to be ignored.
With Nago-His hotel room-Midnight
Nago sat in front of his conspiracy wall that he made himself going over everything they had on Kiva, Ladybug and Chat Noir, there was also a picture of a butterfly symbol crossed out and with a note saying, 'Not Important.' Nago was going through every lead he has 'found' and 'discovered' in his month long stakeout. As IXA, he has patrolled the city avoiding the police as he searched for Kiva, or a Fangire to track him through. He even kept an eye out for anyone who could lead him to Kiva like those Akuma's. Nago had to sigh at this before making his way out his apartment and towards the Southern Staircase. Completely missing the SWAT teams entering the Hotel and exited the rear alley entrance before riding into the city for a nightly patrol only to discover that nothing was active until he returned to the Hotel and discovered the police surrounding the hotel waiting for him to return. Nago frowns before pulling out his phone and making a call and saying, "My Appartment has been compromised. I am heading to the secondary location," he hung up never realising that he was talking to a dial tone.
Nago though drove away towards the outside of Paris to a hotel building that would normally be used for those on long drives across country. Otherwise known as a 'Motel' and normally used for one night stands and would soon be in the process of shut down in the coming months. Nago took up residence in a random room without booking the room and took a seat on the broken massage bed and proceeded to review his conspiracy wall photos on his phone in review.
The following Monday-Dopant College-Morning
Megumi walked towards her school with Alya and Marionette, who they picked up on the way so that she could be at school on time and so Megumi could talk to her about Wateru not coming back during the weekend. She was highly concerned as she muttered to the two with her before Marionette pointed ahead of them to see that Wateru was walking from the opposite direction where they notice Mamora had dropped him off. Megumi rushed to Wateru's side and asks, "What happened, Mamora said that he would only have you for a couple hours."
Wateru simply says, "It was a medical check up, they saw something that they needed to double check before I could head home. It was late last night when they found nothing wrong with me."
Megumi frowns before simply nodding letting Wateru head inside while Alya and Marionette to reach her where Megumi tells them, "Alya do you know a good private investigator?" as she looks to Mamora's limo as it drove away. Alya simply nods before sending Megumi a list of private investigators, for her to call.
Hansha could be seen watching Mamora as he leaves with narrowed eyes. She makes a note to look into this person before she went inside and took her seat with Wateru and copied his notes through the lesson. Today was going to be a long one for everyone once school finished.
End of the Day
Megumi walked out the school quickly as she called one of the names on the list, calling the one who is a trained hacker and says over the phone, "Hello is this, Gregory Snide?" Megumi gets an acknowledgement before she says, "I need information stored in an organisations mainframe, The Wonderful Aurora Foundation, I have names for you to find," with that Megumi gave him some names before stopping as the one on the other side of the phone call says, "What do you mean deceased?" on the other side of the call she received a simple comment of, 'Apparently they were victims of a project called 'Fangire Research' they were labelled to have died in an accident during the research. Apparently within minutes of each other.' Megumi dropped her phone in shock as she struggled to hold back tears as a black butterfly appears in the sky and flew towards Megumi's purse where her Fangire Crossbow was located.
Megumi suddenly hears a voice inside her head as she stumbles to the side and away from the public, 'Huntress, I am Hawkmoth, I grant you the power to get revenge on your lost friends. All you have to do is get me Ladybug and Chat Noirs' Miraculous!'
Megumi drew the black crossbow and says, "Yes Hawkmoth, but vengeance first," with that suddenly Megumi was replaced with Huntress, wearing what appeared to be a swimsuit version of the IXA armour with thigh high boots and upper arm length gloves. The tiny crossbow was replaced with an oversized crossbow that could fire hundreds of bolts quickly. With that Huntress stepped out onto the street, heading to the Mald'amour where Mamora was currently located, just as Marionette and Alya stepped out the school.
Alya was shocked as she says, "Oh no, was that Megumi?"
Marionette frowns before saying, "She must have learnt something bad to have turned into this," with that Alya started running after Huntress with her phone recording everything. Marionette had to smirk at not having to make an excuse to head towards an alley to change as Wateru had seen both change from the roof and decided to transform and follow from the rooftops.
Huntress reached Mald'Amour and smashed the door down just as Alya got to the area and recorded everything as she followed Huntress into the cafe to see Huntress aiming her crossbow at Mamora, who calmly drank his coffee. Alya the recorded as Huntress shouts, "What did children have to do researching Fangires!"
Mamora simply says, "What you fail to understand is why there were children there in the first place. When you return to normal I will be happy to discuss this with you like calm adults instead of super powered Fangire bait," with that he gestures for another coffee as the confused Akuma was stuck thinking on what he meant. As Ladybug arrived and ensnared Huntress in her Yoyo, Huntress was pulled out side with little damage as Alya started live streaming from the side.
Huntress was still shaking her head trying to think as Hawkmoth started shouting at her to attack Ladybug. Huntress was screaming in pain as she struggled to understand what she wanted. Ladybug started making progress towards the Crossbow, which was when Ladybug was suddenly thrown to the side when IXA stepped over towards Huntress and stole Ladybug's yoyo while shouting, "Bring me Kiva!" before carrying Huntress over his shoulder and onto his bike to speed away from the area of battle.
Ladybug groans as she sat up her face covered in soot from the small explosion knocking her away. Ladybug looked around and says, "Great he took my Yoyo and the Akuma," Ladybug rubbed her neck as she went inside and spoke to Mamora and asks, "Okay why did the Akuma attack you. I doubt it was because of coffee."
Mamora looks to Alya and says, "Stop recording please this is private for the Akuma, so don't upload it to the blog," Alya begrudgingly stopped recording. Mamora begins explaining what happened, "Basically, Megumi attacked me looking for answers relating to her childhood friends. They were Fangires or at least children of Fangires and before you ask Wateru is different in that he never turned into a Fangire. Anyway there was an incident resulting in the deaths of every Fangire in our research facility none of them could save. She was seven at the time."
Ladybug and Alya's eyes widen before Alya took a seat in shock and says, "This is all my fault. She mentioned them moving away without her knowledge. I gave her a list of private investigators."
Ladybug placed a hand on Alya's shoulder before saying, "IXA took her," Mamora sighs in annoyance.
Mamora then says, "Nago is wanted by the police. Retrieval of the armour is paramount especially if you want to save Megumi," Ladybug was confused before Mamora continues, "IXA was the brain child of Megumi's Grandmother, whose Daughter, Yuri and Megumi have been training to be its full time user. That belt needs to reclaimed before Nago does something that everyone will regret."
Ladybug nods before sighing, "He took my yoyo, without it I can't call Chat Noir for help or catch up."
The answer came from Mamora, who grabbed his suitcase and says, "I actually may have a method to help with some of that," he removed a crossbow like Megumi's with a couple cartridges, "These have special bolts that can stun a Fangire and can act as a grappling hook in an emergency. Though you will find that this is indestructible. So when you help Megumi, you will need Chat Noir's power to break Megumi's crossbow."
Ladybug accepts the crossbow and says, "Thank you. I will return it to you once I am done."
Only Mamora raised a hand and says, "Actually, the reason I had that was because I was trying to find a way to give you and Chat Noir one to defend yourselves from Fangires."
Ladybug simply says, "Thank you," before she ran out and with a wave from Alya, who quickly followed Ladybug outside.
Mamora sighs and looks up at Kiva who was standing on the roof upside down. Mamora then says, "It appears that Megumi is going to learn a dangerous secret," Kiva simply nods before dropping down and heading outside quickly to take Machine Kivaa to chase after IXA and Ladybug. Mamora looks to the Master of the Cafe and says, "It is going to be a long day."
Base of the Eifel Tower-Hour later
IXA blasted the ground in front of the police from getting any closer as Huntress was unconscious and her crossbow had been thrown into the river so that Huntress could not use it to escape. On a building nearby, Kivala watched while concealed from the limited sight enhancement generated by IXA's helmet. Chat Noir though lands on the building next to her silently and asks, "So there are two Kivas?" which apparently was the wrong thing to say as suddenly he had a fencing sword pointed at his neck without looking and say, "Just clear one thing up, are you evil or something?"
Kivala the rider appeared to glare at Chat Noir as Kivala the Kivat at her waist says, "Evil is perspective, I search for Kiva for reasons my own."
Chat Noir frowns but nods in understanding before he says, "Well look I am just here to stop the Akuma, who has been made a hostage by a criminal." Kivala lowers her sword and getting a thankful nod from Chat Noir. Kivala the Kivat then goes to say, "What can you tell me of Kiva, he appears very manly," Kivala slaps her waist with Kivala the Kivat chuckling.
Chat Noir frowns before saying, "He constantly tells us not to interfere with Fangires, and to just do our jobs so," Kivala nods as she and Chat Noir returns to staring at IXA before Chat Noir asks, "Question is where is the Akuma infected item."
The answer came from Ladybug as she struggled to climb up from the alley next to the building they were on. Ladybug struggled up and says, "Crossbow," Chat Noir looks to Ladybug climbing over the railing before Ladybug noticed Kivala and asks, "There are two Kivas?"
Chat Noir rushed to her side and asks, "Where is your Yoyo, M'lady?"
"IXA, I managed to contain the Akuma but IXA showed up and," Ladybug started only for Chat Noir to lick his thumb and clean the soot from her cheek. Ladybug knocked his hand out her face and says, "IXA stole my Yoyo that is currently being used to hold a girl by the name Megumi she learnt that some childhood friends of hers went missing and she did not take it too well."
Chat Noir continued, "So she became an Akuma, but how did she get caught?"
"Mamora, he talked her down calmly even went as far as saying that when she was no longer under the influence of the Akuma he would explain everything," Ladybug answered as the three looked down at IXA as he stopped everyone getting too close to him, while shouting for Kiva to show up. Ladybug frowns at this and says, "At this rate, Fangires are going to come looking for a treat," Kivala looked at her strangely before Ladybug continued, "IXA is making such a big mess of everything," Ladybug looked around before saying, "There is probably some Fangires in the crowd trying to sneak their way in."
Chat Noir frowns and says, "It is going to be difficult enough getting the Akuma, if IXA is blasting everyone that comes near. And without your Yoyo, it will become almost impossible to reach her without being noticed." Kivala frowns but before she could whisper what Kivala the Kivat was to say, they hear Machine Kivaa slowly driving into the area past the blockade and within eyesight of IXA.
Ladybug frowns before her eyes widened and she says, "That is our distraction."
With Kiva-that moment
Kiva was silent as he climbed off of Machine Kivaa and slowly walked towards IXA, who begins his triad, "KIVA! Return that life to God!" before charging at Kiva while shooting. Kiva did not dodge due to the civilians and the police behind him. IXA then extended his sword with the intention of slashing Kiva in half. Kiva fell to one knee as IXA continued to wildly attack Kiva. IXA stepped back feeling victorious until Kiva stood and silently stared at IXA before shouting, "Why won't you fall!" and started slashing at high speed to defeat Kiva who refused to fight back.
As Kiva was being attacked heavily as Chat Noir and Ladybug snuck their way towards the tower out of IXA's direct line of sight. They looked towards Huntress to see that she was being hung from Ladybug's yoyo cable that was tied to a support beam. Ladybug looked to the small crossbow she frowns before gesturing to Chat Noir to us his staff to get them up to the mid platform of the tower. Chat Noir was smirking as he held Ladybug and elevated up the tower quickly. Kivala was still watching the situation from the rooftop. Ladybug led the way towards the Yoyo cable, and after she crawled across the bar that Chat Noir was calmly walking along the beam. Ladybug looked down to IXA to see Kiva smoking heavily as IXA continued to attacking. Ladybug started tugging Huntress up to the beam as they realised that Huntress was unconscious and when she was on the beam Chat Noir carried her to the main platform where Ladybug unties her. Ladybug was the first to say, "Where is the crossbow though."
Chat Noir blinked before saying, "He must have dropped it, but with your Yoyo back we can head back to find where he dropped it," not noticing that Huntress was waking up with Hawkmoth's symbol covering her face.
Ladybug frowns before saying, "We can't leave her here like this."
Unfortunately that was when IXA saw that his bait had been removed as Kiva starts walking back to Machine Kivaa to leave. IXA changes his weapon to gun mode and shoots Kiva in the back as Huntress awoke and knocked Ladybug and Chat Noir off the tower before her Crossbow burst from the river near the tower and into her hands as she dropped down and proceeded aim at IXA and shouts, "Give Back IXA!" she then opens fire with a single bolt that explodes knocking IXA back.
IXA roars and start shooting at Huntress starting a gun fight under the Eiffel Tower. Ladybug and Chat Noir recover and look down at the pair and Ladybug comments, "Wait, she wants IXA back?"
Chat Noir frowns before asking, "Maybe she is talking about the IXA armour. I mean, for all we know IXA has a secret only she knows."
Kiva watched while still smoking as suddenly a trio of Fangires jump him, knocking him off his bike and striking him as he was forced to cover his head with his arms to exhausted from being attacked. Kivala stood planning to engage Kiva only for Huntress to suddenly shoot a single Fangire causing it to shattered leaving a gold orb that floated into the air. Surprising Kiva and Kivala as Huntress fired two more bolts destroying the remaining Fangires letting Kiva stand again.
Chat Noir then asks, "Wait how was she able to destroy the Fangires?"
Ladybug looks to the small crossbow she was given and says, "The item Akumatised was another crossbow that was designed to stun Fangires. It must mean that is her power to destroy Fangires!"
Kivala had heard what Ladybug said from the rooftop and says to the Kivat in her belt, "That sort of power could be useful," and got an affirmative from Kivala the Kivat.
Kiva stands as he sees IXA aim at Huntress back before Kiva sped forward and got between the two and received what would have been considered a fatal injury to Huntress' spine. Kiva fell down to the ground before Huntress returned to attacking IXA as he rushed forward and grabbed Kiva to use as a human shield that actually made Huntress hold her fire. IXA shouts, "You have given up your humanity for this monster," with that IXA stabbed Kiva in the back before throwing him into the nearby river where he fell under the water before Ladybug or Chat Noir could stop him. IXA shouts, "I win!" as Huntress rushed forward to attack IXA only to get backhanded by IXA and him to take her Crossbow to be used on Huntress, only for Ladybug to use her yoyo to pull her out of harm's way. IXA then used the Crossbow to attack Ladybug and Chat Noir. Huntress was slowly recovering as she tried to summon her crossbow only for IXA's grip to be too strong. IXA started shooting bolts at high speed almost killing several bystanders until suddenly Kivala sped forward faster than the eye could really see without help, piercing the crossbow with her fencing sword releasing the Akuma and started attacking violently knocking IXA back until he cut his victory short and ran away to his bike to escape.
Kivala then vanishes quickly following the river while Ladybug caught the Akuma and undid the damage, which was mainly the damages caused by IXA in his attack on Kiva. Once that was done, Ladybug went to Megumi before she told Chat Noir, "Find Kiva!" Chat Noir nods before heading to the river and joining the search for Kiva while Ladybug lifted Megumi onto her shoulder before using her Yoyo to get back to Mamora.
With Kivala-A couple miles downstream-an hour later
Kivala ran quickly along the edge of the river where she does find a series of water footsteps that walked into the city, changing from the symbol of Kiva before changing into normal footsteps that travel into the city. Kivala's vision refocused and she saw drops of blood that she follows until she sees them lead into the hospital parking lot and she finds a secret entrance which was a mistake as behind her one of the fans for the LadyBlog had followed her and then took pictures of her touching a hidden door before it opened revealing several armed guards aiming at Kivala and proceeded to run away quickly.
Kivala escaped from the hospital parking lot and reached a rooftop where Chat Noir landed next to her and asks, "Did you find Kiva?" Kivala instead of answering swung her sword at Chat Noir who jumped away to escape as Kivala with a burst of speed vanished quickly to escape from prying eyes as she turned into Hansha as Kivala the Kivat flew around her.
Kivala the Kivat says, "So you found Kiva's secret base?"
Hansha frowns before saying, "I am not talking to you. Miss 'Kiva is so Manly,' I should really take away your Gossip Girl Magazine Subscription," only for Kivala to laugh at her as she continued to laugh at the teen girl.
Chat Noir being unaware of Hansha's plight and simply pole vaulted to across Paris until he returned home.
With Ladybug and Marionette-Mald'Amour Cafe
Ladybug in was drinking a free coffee that the Master of the cafe made for her, as they waited for Megumi to awaken. Just out of hearing range Mamora was speaking with his staff before releasing a breath of relief and returns to the group and says, "Kiva will be fine. Fortunately this version of IXA is not at Kiva's level. At least until the next model."
Ladybug frowns before Megumi groans from the table where she was placed to rest, with a blanket and the door of the cafe had been sleeping next to her. Megumi then asks, "Next model?"
Mamora simply says, "IXA's is currently in it's third version, we have been improving the design, but we have had to remove power in exchange for durability of the user." Megumi blinks in confusion before Mamora says, "Megumi about the children. I am afraid that due to a dangerous discovery of a hybrid Fangire with a human. A Fandire, that sucks the life force from Fangires."
Magumi's eyes widened and says, "Wateru?" Ladybug's eyes widen in shock but no one was able to see her face.
Mamora simply says, "No, Kiva," He finishes his most recent coffee before saying, "The crazy thing is, that there was a hundred humans in his way. He ignored all of them even when they attacked him. In the end Kiva took the life force of Fifty Fangires that we had in containment," Mamora sighs and says, "It was our fault, we were developing a sleeping agent to knock out Fangires and modified the formula for Kiva. We got the mixture wrong before finding the right formula to stop him."
Ladybug asks, "Why did Kiva not fight IXA?"
"Knowing Kiva, there were too many bystanders with IXA so focused on him they were safer than if he dodged. Kiva has serious psychological issues relating to this," Mamora says before finishing with, "He has enough guilt for this incident. It is why he avoids engaging with his peers."
Ladybug frowns before asking, "So, Kiva is not a danger to the people of Paris?"
"Only if they are a Fangire attacking others. Kiva is more a danger to himself in the worst situation. Even my best doctors have been able to help him," Mamora states in exhaustion.
Megumi frowns and says, "Maybe I should talk to him."
"I am afraid he has requested that you are not to speak with him. He is concerned for your health," Mamora states getting Mamora to frown.
Megumi asks, "Does Wateru know?"
"No, he was not at the facility that day," Mamora states while not looking at Megumi as he was lying heavily which was noticed by Ladybug.
Ladybug then asks, "Are you a danger to Paris?"
"No, the Wonderful Aurora Foundation is for the protection of humanity," Mamora states before adding, "In recent years though that focus shifted to co-existence. That way both cultures can live in peace, and that stupid law about loving a human can be forgotten with time." Megumi and Ladybug blinked in shock.
Ladybug shakes her head and says, "Well, I better go in the event of another Akuma. Bug out," before she ran outside and quickly used her Yoyo to leave past Alya who rushed inside to find Megumi and apologizes for what she convinced her to do. No one saw that Ladybug flew over the rooftops in a wide circle before she returned to her room and was about to transform when suddenly her Yoyo rings and she sees that Chat Noir is calling her. She answered, "Chat, Kiva is okay, apparently he got to safety."
Chat Noir on the other side of the call, "Kivala tracked him near the Hospital down river but attacked me when I came in contact with her. No idea where she went after that."
Ladybug frowns as she sits on her elevated bed and says, "IXA needs to be caught and that armour retrieved before someone actually gets killed."
Chat Noir replies with, "Hopefully we can do it quickly before he suddenly attacks Kiva or an Akuma again."
"Yeah, night Chat," Ladybug says before Chat Noir says, 'Night' and the two hang up. Ladybug then transforming into Marionette and she collapses on the bed and Tikki collapses next to her very tired. Marionette says, "Sorry for staying transformed so long."
Tikki sighs and says, "That is not why I am so tired. Next time you are offered a free coffee as Ladybug please drink Decaf or just sweet tea. Caffeine has the opposite effect on me."
Marionette sits up quickly and asks, "Are you sick or?"
Tikki waved her off with one hand and says, "No, Just a couple hours rest and I will be fine when it wears off. Though extra cookies would help and," Tikki paused in thought before she says, "Oh great, I sounded like Plagg with Crambert cheese."
Marionette chuckles and says, "Your still getting extra cookies," Marionette stands and sneaks down to the kitchen and collected cookies for snacks. An hour later Megumi and Alya would spend the night, Alya discussing what she learn besides what happened to Megumi's friends. They had invited Hansha but instead she stated that she had previous plans.
With Kiva/Wateru-WAO Hospital-Main building
Wateru had been moved to a private room in the main hospital where Wateru was receiving stitches by one of the members of the organisation that know Wateru's secret, this woman in Caucasian with black hair and her name is Violet Denvers. Currently Wateru was receiving stitches for the wounds he received from IXA, nothing that would scar but it would take a couple hours to recover properly. Wateru had not receive medication for pain as nothing would work on him, though once the stitches were in place he was wrapped up in a blanket for warmth he did not feel.
Violet says, "This is the first time I have seen you so wounded and not by a Fangire. You should have fought back. If for no other reason just so you could have avoided injury!" Wateru just nods in agreement causing Violet to sigh and say, "Get some sleep Wateru, I will discharge you tomorrow," Wateru nods and lies back on the bed quietly as Violet walks out the medical room in the private rooms of the hospital. Violet walks down the hall and turns half way to the exit where she sees a room labelled, Otoya Kurenai and quietly enters the room of a Coma patient.
A couple weeks later-Dopant College-Afternoon
Wateru sat in at his desk having fully recovered from IXA's 'trap' that he sprung to save Megumi. Megumi had been slightly distant even though she spent time at his home she did it with long bought's of silence which suited Wateru fine as he worked on his violins. Beside him Hansha was sporting a black eye that she refused to explain how she had got it.
Since the IXA incident only one Akuma had attacked and that was Mister Pigeon, a busy day for him as the Fangires became agitated easily when they tried to sneak up on the animated super villain and in the end no Fangire reached lessed then a block to his position and were instead either defanged or destroyed by Kiva, fortunately Ladybug managed to undo the random sewer covers being imbedded in random buildings and trees.
Wateru looks to the doors to see Marionette walk into class and Alya being gone. Wateru then starts to listen after Marionette shouts, 'What' and Nino explained that Chloe/Ladybug had gotten Alya expelled for a week resulting in Marionette shouting, 'What' again before the teacher sent her to the principal's office. Wateru blinked in confusion at Chloe being Ladybug before suddenly the white board suddenly turned into a television screen before Alya wearing a black body suit with a vertical white Wifi symbol on her chest, white gloves and boots and black domino mask was standing with the principal and had him confess to the entire school that Chloe used her father to get Alya expelled unfairly. 'Lady Wifi,' as Alya was being called simply says, "Coming up next, Ladybug exposed!" The screen then vanished as the teacher decided that school was cancelled for the rest of the day.
Wateru sat silently as he looked out the window to see Chat Noir speeding to the Bourgies Hotel and was shortly followed by Ladybug going the same way, only without seeing Chat Noir. Hansha sat silently with Wateru before he stands and says, "You shouldn't let them hurt you like this," and he left the room leaving a surprised Hansha as she watch him go and became very confused.
Wateru walked out the school calmly and across the city until he past several police cars surrounding Paris' biggest hotel and he saw Lady Wifi trying to de-mask Ladybug only for said mask to stretch while still attach to her face and her to comment 'magic' as why the Akuma could not remove Ladybug's mask. Wateru watched for a couple minutes until he saw that Ladybug and Chat Noir had saved the day. Wateru walked home without issue. Though that night would be the risk of Kiva's biggest fear coming back.
With Nago-WAO public hospital-That moment
Nago walked into the hospital parking lot avoiding security and police that had been looking for him. Nago transformed into IXA as he slowly walked to the security door and proceeded to overpower the locks on the hidden door. IXA walks into the facility past the sealed room, where a group of people were dressed in guard uniforms, pyjamas and a couple scientist were playing a game of poker with alcohol and chips for money. They missed IXA walk past and towards the labs where he breaks into the lab where it was filled with vials all labelled with a series of numbers, all with a slight white glow inside and connected to cables. IXA walked through to a desk and sees the name of this project, 'Fangire Food Supplement,' IXA growls before looking to the vials around this room before seeing a safe at the back of the room saying 'do not open,' IXA went to the safe and pulled on the safe door only for it to not budge as IXA's arms were not strong enough to removing the safe door. IXA drew his sword and damaged the safe door enough to pull the IXA off the safe to see three vials, of pick fluid and reads the label of one, that they all share, 'Keep away from Kiva.' IXA smirks and grabs all three vials and starts to leave, while destroying all the vials of the FFS project. IXA left quickly as the facilities security alarms went off and IXA 'defended' himself where he badly injured several security guards in his escape.
Mamora was there within the hour to find people injured and was led to where the FFS project had been located. Mamora silently walks into the room filled with destroyed vials before reaching the safe at the back of the room and says, "I want all the Fangires part of the Organisation sent out the city tonight. Those working in the facility and around Paris, if Nago uses even one of those vials I don't want any deaths that could be avoided!" With that those not helping the wounded and proceeded to make important calls.
A couple days later-With Wateru
Wateru was dragged through the city by Megumi, apparently the pink haired girl who always wears skates and pads, goes by the name of Alix, and the Jock of the class, Kim, if Wateru remembered correctly. Megumi was pulling him along and he did not fight back as they arrive at their destination and Megumi says, "Okay, so basically what is happening is that Alix, has made a bet with Kim, that if he lost a race against her. If Alix loses, Kim gets her skates and if Kim loses then he can't dare anyone in the class for the rest of the school year."
Wateru just nods as they met up with the rest of the class minus Marionette. Wateru noticed Hansha has arrived with a split lip, and her hair done in such a way that no one could see the brand new black eye that had been forming all morning. Wateru silently stood in the crowd of his fellow students as Kim started talking big to the rest of the class, who were waiting to cheer Alix on. Alya started interviewing Kim about the race when Marionette arrived holding a large banner with Kim and Alix's faces on them, Wateru did not really pay attention as he was wanting to leave before Alix did arrive and they 'Max' the smartest person in class was explaining the rule, three laps around the two fountains.
As Max was about to start the race when Alix suddenly shouts, "Wait!" she used her skates to head over to the side and got to Alya and says, "I need you to hold this. It is very important," Alya looked conflicted as she held her phone as the race started.
Alya was struggling between filming and holding before choosing holding as she gives Marionette who was holding the Banner with Nino. Marionette almost drops the Pocket watch when Adrian caught the item and talked between each other. Adrien held the watch until Chloe stole the item with Adrien trying to get it back off Chloe who was claiming that it was worthless until a flash of light made her drop it into the path of Alix's skates. She would have ran over her Pocket Watch if the unexpected had not happen. Wateru had suddenly leapt forward and cover the watch with his right hand to protect it from Alix's skates at the same moment a girl in a green body suit on white skates and the same build as Alix had tackled Alix before she could accidently injure Wateru's hand. Ladybug landed next to Marionette who shouts everyone step away from the Akuma!" Ladybug shouts as the Akuma, 'Timebreaker' stands looking at Wateru and the Pocket Watch and calmly started to skate past everyone to sit on a bench before pulling off one of her skates and breaks them for Ladybug to fix everything revealing another Alix.
Future Ladybug catches the Future Akuma as Alix asks, "What is going on? Why is there two of me and the other was an Akuma that destroyed her skates for you?" she directed that question at Future Ladybug.
Future Alix then told them what happened, Ladybug stepping behind the group and stood next to Marionette while whispering, "Mom and Dads' client will be there early, go," she said in a hushed whisper as Tikki poked her side and nods vigorously before Marionette while still confused but rushed back home, by going into an alley and transforming into Ladybug.
Alternate Timeline-Alix's point of view.
Alix skated around the last corner as she looked back at Kim who was breathing heavily as he chased after her, as she turned forward to cross the line she suddenly found Wateru's hand under her skate with a sickening crack as she tripped over the finishing line. Kim saw this and started laughing as Wateru gripped his partially bloody hand as he held Alix's watch.
Alix stood and saw the pocket watch as Wateru handed her family heirloom. Alix accepted the watch before saying, "Wateru I am so sorry, I-" she could not say any more as suddenly Megumi got in her face while shouting, "HOW COULD YOU, do you know what you did! You could have killed Wateru's ability to play!" Alix was silent before she started skating away with Wateru seeing tears in her eyes as she sped away. Marionette started running after Alix as Megumi pulled Wateru to the steps and proceeded to wrap his hand before calling Mamora to give them a lift to the hospital.
Alix was skating away from her class in guilt as Marionette chased after her. Alix did not listen to Marionette even as Marionette was called by her parents and started running towards her home. They did not see the Akuma that flew into the Alix's skate and she was forced to hear Hawkmoth, "TimeBreaker, I am Hawkmoth I grant you the power to steal time and undo your mistake. All I ask is Ladybug and Chat Noirs' Miraculous."
"Fine," Alix says before she transforms and started skating towards her class, tapping civilians that she past while thinking, 'Touch everyone I can and get enough time to stop myself.' She was skating as fast as she could where she finds Kim talking smack about Wateru and she was the first one she touched, with a violent slap to the face leaving him vanishing as he was falling to the side. Her class started scattering except Wateru and Megumi. Alix stared at them before turning to everyone else and started touching those she pass quickly, touch Alya before she could live stream. TimeBreaker was then stopped by Chat Noir but before she could listen to him make a joke, she sped past him and started avoiding Chat Noir and later Ladybug as she joined the chase. Eventually TimeBreaker was pinned between the heroes of Paris and Megumi defending Wateru. TimeBreaker looked at the amount of time she collected while checking her pocket watch and says, "I need one more minute," she looked around before seeing Megumi. TimeBreaker made a play like she was going to attack Chat Noir only instead she sped over to Megumi to touch her only for Wateru to defend her and get touched giving TimeBreaker a full hour. TimeBreaker was shocked before she says, "Plenty," she then sped away from Ladybug and Chat Noir, with Ladybug catching TimeBreaker with her Yoyo before being pulled along.
TimeBreaker then pulled Ladybug through time and arrived five minutes before injuring Wateru. Timebreaker looks down at the student and says, "Good, plenty of time," it confused Ladybug who was also staring at their classmates before recovering and looking down to TimeBreaker to find her gone. TimeBreaker was hiding away from her classmates as she watched what happened after Alix gave Alya the Pocket Watch, which moved to Marionette and then to Adrien before Chloe took it. The watch fell as Alix was going past the last corner and TimeBreaker charged forward quickly as Wateru grabbed the watch, TimeBreaker was already next to him tackling Alix out the way.
Present
Future Alix sighs and says, "Now here I am telling you how I time travelled to get here," which was then a second Ladybug arrived shocking everyone as they realised that Future Alix was telling the truth.
Past Ladybug looks to Future Ladybug and says, "We should fix this."
Which was the point where Chat Noir made an appearance and says, "Or we can go for ice cream? Just the three of us," he gives them a cheeky smirk.
Both Ladybugs give him an unamused look before Future Ladybug threw her Yoyo into the air causing the pair of Ladybugs and Alix to be fused into one being each where they remember everything. Ladybug relieved that this happened in the way that it did. Though before she left she asks Alix quickly, "How much time did you receive with?" looking over to Wateru.
Alix whispers, "A year," that made Ladybug blink in surprise before Alix says, "I have no idea why, everyone else was barely a minute."
Ladybug nods before swinging away to talk with Chat Noir while Alya had heard what Alix said and asks, "You remember being an Akuma?" Alix simply nods before Alya asks, "Can I get an interview?" Alix smiles lightly and nods before Wateru came over and gave her, her pocket watch back only to accidently squize the side and cause a bright flash before the watch in Wateru's hand was showing a hologram of her and Wateru holding the pocket watch.
Alix blinks and silently asks what he did and he gestured to the side where turning the outside frame caused another hologram to be taken. Alix then says, "It is a camera!" This resulted in her taking a couple pictures with her friends before the she went home to show her family what she discovered. Though when she got home she was in for a larger surprise as when she pulled the Pocket Watch from her pocket she found she had two.
