So, a few things to know about the Kwamis and Bloom!
First off, I see the Kwamis as more like their Renling cousins - can't see or hear them unless you have their Miraculous-like item. The Kwamis are basically the same way, except they don't transform people into animals, but superheroes.
As for Bloom...she can mostly control her magic, and still has her heart of gold deep down...but she's had to toughen up a bit in four years of being completely on her own. Really lonely, and in serious need of a family, but still good deep down. Plus, she's not that violent...most of the time. Also, she can see Auras - I actually got that from the original series, Season 1 Episode 13 I think it was, and decided to use it. So, when she thinks about ghosts above people's heads...that's what it is, nobody ever said 'you can read Auras!' to her, after all.
Master Wang Fu, the last of the Guardians, starts in shock when both Wayzz and Longg appear to him suddenly. Wayzz says "Master!" Unfortunately, Wang Fu is in the middle of treating a middle-aged businessman.
So…not an ideal time, even if he can't see or hear the Kwamis.
After quickly getting the latest customer out of the room, Wang Fu turns to Wayzz and Longg expectantly - Wayzz wouldn't have come out of the phonograph if it wasn't important, and something clearly woke Longg up altogether. Wayzz says "Master, I've sensed the Butterfly aura!"
Fu hums, frowning briefly, and says "But I thought it had been lost forever…" Right along with the Peacock Miraculous and the Spellbook.
Wayzz nods, saying "But master! It is a negative aura! I fear it may have fallen into the hands of an evil-doer!"
Wang Fu decides to go find Nooroo, the Butterfly Kwami, at once…then, when his back quickly protests, he decides he needs some help. Getting to his feet and rubbing his aching back, he asks "And you, Longg?" He wouldn't be out here if it weren't important, the usually-stoic Kwami is looking around excitedly and almost vibrating with anticipation.
Longg says "I, to, felt an aura, Master Fu! Its not the Butterfly Aura, though. Its…something else, I'm not sure what, though! But it is strong!" Strong enough to wake him up as effectively as if he'd downed a triple-shot coffee with extra caffeine.
Deciding one more Miraculous in the world with the Cat and Ladybug ones would probably not be a disaster - and that Longg won't go dormant again now that he's been activated by this mysterious aura, he grabs the Ladybug, Cat, and Dragon Miraculous' and heads out. Longg can direct him to this mysterious aura, hopefully.
What Wang Fu finds, deciding to follow Longg first, is…a red-headed girl, with a wary look on her face as she makes her way through the streets and crowds. She's wary, constantly glancing around at everyone, sizing up people coming towards her and moving along quickly if they stare at her longer than a few moments. And she instantly spots him, her gaze meets his and he gives her a smile and nod before looking away. Deciding there's no good way to set up a meeting between them that she won't immediately catch onto - call it a hunch, he's got a feeling about her, what with the way she's never not observing her surroundings or how she holds herself like she's waiting to strike at any time - he decides to walk straight into her and play it off as an accident.
Unfortunately…some thugs yank him into an alleyway before he can. The obvious leader of the group holds a knife to his face, making him distinctly nervous - he may have decades of fighting experience under his belt, but he's 186 and his back is giving out. Hence why he's even considering activating the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous' in the first place.
Before he can try anything, though, Longg gasps "Its her! She's here, Master Wang!" And then he hears a sharp whistle, and sees that same flaming red-head standing in the alleyway.
Bloom sneers inwardly, these guys are utterly pathetic - mugging a little old man in…what, his seventies? She quickly takes them out, using a little magic to make the one that steps towards her slip and grabbing his knife to scare the rest of them off, and helps the old man to his feet. "Why, thank you, young lady. Might I know your name?"
After considering it for a moment, Bloom introduces herself. "Are you hurt? I counted four of them there."
He shakes his head, saying "No, thanks to you, Bloom."
As she watches, keeping her poker face up the whole time, the small red creature floating around his head says "It's definitely her, Master Fu! She's powerful, I can feel it without even bonding with her!" Keeping her face neutral, Bloom listens to both 'Master Fu' and the green being as they talk - Wang is thanking her again for saving her, inviting her over to his shop for a cup of tea as thanks, while the green creature is talking about how she'd be a good Holder for Longg's Dragon Miraculous.
As they start to walk out of the alley, Bloom conversationally says "You know, Mister Fu, I just heard a rather Miraculous thing. Would you like to hear it?"
Wang Fu stops dead in his tracks, and Wayzz flatly asks "Can she see us?"
Wang's ghost above his head, which Bloom can see for literally everyone bar herself, says "She shouldn't be able to see the Kwami's."
Smirking to herself, Bloom says "It was about dragons, turtles, and Kwami's, you see. I can see them, by the way. And hear them."
Wang Fu drops the benign old man act, and asks "How did you hear about them?" This should be IMPOSSIBLE! He's been the Guardian of the Miraculous' for decades now, there's no way he's let anything slip now!
Bloom snorts derisively, and says "I just found out." Honestly, having the two of them flying around his head is a little conspicuous.
Wang Fu sighs in relief, and says "You have a powerful aura about you, Bloom. That's what drew Longg here to you."
Bloom's look freezes instantly, and she carefully asks "How do you know about that?" She's managed to keep her secret - her dangerous, wild magic that likes to lash out with her temper and that she spent the last four years learning to control - all this time being stranded here in Paris, but somehow this guy and his…his Kwami found her.
Either she's slipping - which she's pretty sure she isn't, else the police would've already come after her by now - or these Kwami's are perceptive indeed.
She comes away from that particularly strange encounter a cell phone and one black necklace with an orange bead the color of her hair and her magic richer, and an overly-formal Kwami named Longg who spends the rest of the walk to her new school talking her ear off about what powers he can grant her, how to transform into a superhero outfit, how nobody should be able to recognize her since part of the Miraculous' magic is concealing their identities, and what's apparently going down.
What's going down being…a bad guy got his hands on a Miraculous that'll give him the ability to turn others into supervillains as well. Bloom internally groans, great…
Marinette whips her head around when a new voice asks "Who made you the seat police?" It's the new girl, with brilliant red hair the color of flames done up in a ponytail and piercing blue eyes. Eyes firmly locked onto Chloe with a glare that would make most people run away. Chloe, on the other hand, casually says "Ooh, look Sabrina, we got a little do-gooder in our class this year. What're you gonna do, super-newbie, shoot lasers out of your eyes at me?"
Sabrina laughs that fake laugh, and Bloom instantly decides she downright hates these two bullies. Don't punch her in the face, don't throttle her, don't set her on fire…
Just like Mitzi, putting everyone down to make herself feel better. She's got to find a way to vent her temper before her rising magic does so instead, so she schools her face into a sharp smirk, and says "Hardly. It'd be a waste of time, effort, and energy. Your hardly worth it. C'mon, lets go just to spare our ears."
Once they get to their seats, leaving Chloe sputtering in outrage - and Bloom catching the box of macaroons before they can hit the floor - Marinette says "I wish I could handle her like you can."
Bloom shrugs, and says "Stand up for yourself, that's all. You just need some more confidence in yourself."
Marinette opens the box, and says "Thanks. I'm Marinette."
Bloom takes a Macaroon, and says "Back at you. I'm Bloom." And these Macaroons are the bomb! She's got to find out where Marinette got them!
Adrien - rather, Cat Noir, as he's going by in his superhero guise - dodges the rock-monster's attacks, muttering "C'mon, partner, where are you? Either of you?!" Plagg, his Kwami, said he'd be getting two partners, and he did meet one of them…when she fell out of the sky and tied them both up by accident. And introduced herself as 'madly clumsy' right after.
And then he stumbles, accidentally losing his footing, and sees a giant fist coming down at him…only for it to never make an impact. When he opens his eyes, Cat Noir sees the fist has been wrapped up in ropes that look like they're made out of fire, restraining it from behind the rock-creature.
When he rolls out of the way, he sees a girl with flaming red hair in a ponytail, wearing a bright red suit styled like dragon scales, lined with flaming orange and black, with the flaming ropes looking like they're coming from her fists as she holds onto them, digging in her heels to keep that fist from coming down on him.
Woah…
He calls over "You must be my other partner! Name's Cat Noir!"
"Dragon Fyre, nice to meet you! Ahh!"
Cat Noir winces slightly as she gets dragged across the football field and makes a gouge in the ground, the fire-ropes apparently being turned against her due to this guy's sheer size. And then his ladybug-themed partner arrives, biting her lip and saying "That looked like it hurt…"
Yes, Cat Noir agrees, it really looked like it hurt. "So, we've got a ten-foot-tall guy made entirely out of rock, directly attacking him makes him bigger…and I'm out of ideas. Her name's Dragon Fyre, by the way."
"Great…" Marinette doesn't know what to do, she's not cut out for being a superhero! She's not even sure this 'Guardian' even made the right choice giving her the Ladybug Miraculous!
And then Dragon Fyre calls over "Hey! Little help, you two! Think of some way to get whatever it is he's holding out of his hand! That's got to be where the Akuma is!" When they look over, she's got an orange shield in the shape of a bubble surrounding her, as Stoneheart pounds away on it and sinks it a little deeper each blow.
Marinette thinks for a minute, then says "Alright, I've got an idea. Trust me?"
Cat Noir nods, and then she…throws him through the air by his ankles, getting him caught once more in this guy's grasp. This girl's crazy!
And then swings up as well, getting herself caught in the other hand and forcing him to let go of what he was holding in the process. And then Dragon Fyre says "Ok, I'm seeing your plan! Hey, big guy! You dropped something!" When the other two heroes look over, they see she's got what looks a bit like a purple rock floating above her hand.
Cat Noir conversationally asks "You think that's her special power? Or the fire?" Dragons, fire, makes as much sense as anything else that's happening. Still, both his partners are crazy...crazy-awesome!
And then Dragon Fyre turns her open hand into a fist, effectively crushing the object and freeing a black butterfly that must be the Akuma. Stoneheart crumbles immediately, revealing Ivan lying there amongst the rubble.
Dragon Fyre catches the Akuma in an orange bubble, and hangs back as her two partners help Ivan and celebrate their first supervillain being defeated. "Aren't you forgetting something, Ladybug?"
The bluenette blinks, asking "Uh…what?"
"Well, aside from the detail that we only get five minutes to disappear once we use our special powers…" She holds out the bubble the Akuma is still trapped in, and sardonically adds "Pests multiply, haven't you heard? We don't catch one of these at first, we gotta deal with an army of them. And, incidentally, you're the only one that can deal with them."
Ladybug, as she's apparently been dubbed, groans and says "Uh…what now?! You two can't…"
Dragon Fyre shrugs, and says "Maybe burning the butterfly would work, but you're the one that has the power to reverse what these things do to people. And keep the butterfly alive, anyway. Your special power also reverses any and all damages they've done." She's not sure if she could put an entire city back together with her magic, but it sounds utterly exhausting.
Ladybug uses her Yo-Yo on the Butterfly to purify it, then her Miraculous Cure to fix everything, then asks "Don't you have to get going soon, Dragon Fyre? Our identities must remain a secret."
Dragon Fyre rolls her eyes, and says "To the public, yeah, but I'm not seeing much problem in us knowing each other's identities." Besides, she already knows Ladybug is Marinette, neither her hair or eyes changed with her transformation. "But, whatever floats your boat, I guess. I think I'll let you two figure it out, if you don't want me to just tell you who the other is." She gets not putting a target on their families, but...that doesn't really apply to her, does it?
Ladybug and Cat Noir gape at her, and Ladybug asks "You know-"
"Who you are? Uh…yeah, I do. In all fairness, though, I'm more observant than most. And the Concealment magic that the Kwamis or the Miraculous' have doesn't seem to work on me. Cat's identity is safe for now, since it's the first time I've seen him before, but don't expect it to last very long. As for my own time limit…I'm set for a while." Not only does she generate the fire, and not Longg, but she can give him extra energy with her own magic. Something only adults are supposed to be able to do. Also, she didn't use any of Longg's own special abilities.
They learn from Ivan that a guy calling himself 'Hawk Moth' gave him the superpowers, but he doesn't remember anything after knocking on the principle's door.
Dragon Fyre smirks, and says "Well, boys and girls, its been fun…but I'm off. See you later…maybe. Longg, Wind Dragon." And then she just vanishes, apparently turning into thin air.
Cat Noir says "Longg, huh? I'll just ask my own Kwami about him tonight, I guess."
AN: Hey, everyone! So, I'm not sure how, but all the edits I did didn't get saved the first time! OOPS. Oh well, its not like it took 3 hours or anything.
Anyway, so, I'd like to say right now that I do like the show as a whole, but it has a few things that I do take issue with and am going to point out now.
Like...why can't they know each other's identities? I get not telling all of Paris, I really do. It would paint a target on their family, friends, and anyone remotely connected to them. But why can't they tell each other? It would make things like setting up meeting times, or covering for each other, way easier! I'm not saying they should just immediately trust each other with such a big secret, but they have to trust each other with their literal lives every Akuma attack! At that point, it'd basically be the same thing!
Also, how does nobody notice that Marinette and Ladybug are the same person?! Seriously, Cat Noir gets an eye change, hair change, everything. With her, its just a different outfit and a mask slapped on her face! Their voices don't even change, even if their personalities do! So, really, why hasn't Cat Noir...I don't know, tried to figure out who she is under the mask? If I were in his shoes, I'd be trying to figure out who my partner I'm so head over heels for is! Seriously, this love-square that isn't really a square between them...its just painful, really, really painful. I get that it's part of the plot, and amps up the drama and angst, but still...painful. I mean, look at Glaciator! It clearly wasn't doing either of them any good then!
I'm not even gonna touch on Hawk Moth, it's his job to be the villain in this show...but Wang Fu, seriously?! He just hands out two all-powerful items, the same items Hawk Moth's looking for, to two random teenagers?! He doesn't even leave any explanation, bar their Kwamis, just leaves a random jewelry box in their rooms - and, HOW?! Especially Adrien's! - and hopes he picked the right people? Didn't even tell them who he is, or where to find him if they have questions or their Kwamis get sick or hurt! Didn't offer to train them, or help them in any way, just hoped for the best! They're teenagers, they've got parents to keep in the dark, school to go to, homework to do, etc. - and he expects them to just drop everything and moonlight as superheroes? And that's when the Akuma attack happens at night.
Don't get me wrong, I like the show...but these things are just glaringly-obvious to me. Anyway, enjoy! More chapters coming soon!
