Phase 3 : Chaos (The last day of Paris/Part 1)
Paris (10th district), 6.18 AM
Zoé woke up while doing a big yawn, her hair was all messy. She then got off of her bed and walked to the bathroom.
"Here my Queen." said Pollen holding the hairbrush for her.
"Thanks honeycomb." responded Zoé while taking the hairbrush from Pollen.
She then got downstairs and while passing by the living room, she noticed the couch was empty and the blankets had been folded. She immediately ran to the kitchen where Luka was eating breakfast while looking at his phone with Sass eating tofu next to him.
"Luka, where's Chloé ? Did she run away ?!" asked a worried Zoé.
"What ? No, she packed her things and said thanks for the bed. She said she'll see you at «work»." said Luka while slurping his coffee unbothered.
"Okay...I guess ?" said a still unsure Zoé.
"Coffee ?" asked the blue haired boy.
The blonde nodded in agreement. She sat next to her boyfriend and took cereals to go with it.
Arc des Triomphes, 9.10 AM
Zoé was currently filming the new season of "The city of Love" when suddenly, a truck passed by near the film shooting place while being pursued by the police.
"Guess I'll have to take a break." thought Zoé in her head.
She ran back to the changing room and transformed into Vesperia.
The truck was driving at full speed when suddenly, a masked lady landed on the ground in the middle of the road, she then summoned big purple energy in her fist and charged toward the truck which cut it in half and immediately stopped it.
The guy in the back was now next to the purple hero who smiled back at the terrified robber. Multiple punches could be heard right after.
The driver got out of the truck a little shaken and walked toward the road. A yellow themed hero then approached him with a sting in her hand.
"Need a hand ?" asked Vesperia while smiling.
"Don't come any closer !" said the robber with his gun in his hand.
The silhouette of the blonde girl then got multiplied and several Vesperia were now circling the robber.
"What's happening ?!" asked the robber angrily.
Someone then came from the sky and stung the robber behind his back.
The copies of Vesperia then disappeared in a flash and Rena Rouge came out of her hiding place.
Purple Tigress dragged the accomplice with her and joined her friends.
"Good job girls !" happily said Rena Rouge.
The police then came and arrested the 2 bandits while the 3 heroines left the scene and regrouped on a random rooftop.
"Well I guess the production is off for today so do you guys want to hang out or something ?" asked the bee hero.
"We would love that but we're expected somewhere." responded the tiger holder.
"Well actually, why don't you come with us ?" asked Rena.
"Where ?" asked back Vesperia.
"Today's the great tournament of «Man of War» at the stadium and since Kim is one of the participants, he asked us to come to support him so we'll go with the others." responded Tigress.
"Sounds fun, I'm in !" answered Zoé.
Miracle Base, 10.02 AM
Monitor :
~ A.3 - RENA ROUGE
~ A.9 - VESPERIA
~ A.12 - PURPLE TIGRESS
Ryuko was sitting on a chair near the main computer waiting.
"You took your time I see." said the dragon holder.
"We were held back sorry." responded Purple Tigress.
"Anyways, where are the boys ?" asked Rena Rouge.
"Slaking off." simply responded Ryuko.
In the living room, Kim was punching a bag at full strength with Xuppu coaching him. Max and Nath were playing chess and Kaalki was arguing with Ziggy about who will win the game. Nino and Ivan were watching a commercial while Wayzz and Stompp were eating chips.
TV : Today, turn your TV on because it's «Man of War» ! Your favorite super hero from around the world will face each other in different challenges to win the title of the Man of War !
The TV then showed the different challengers on screen.
"Damn it ! Muscle Man is competing, I'm so dead !" said Kim who was looking slightly at the television.
The presentation ended with King Monkey and Nino then turned the TV off.
"Dude no worries, you'll beat them all !" said Nino.
"Yeah right, most of them are meta-humans with actual powers like Muscle Man and I'm suppose to win with a staff and a monkey tail ?!" answered a stressed Kim.
The door then abruptly opened and the girls were standing there looking kind of annoyed.
"Not to press you guys but we gotta go." rapidly said the fox holder.
"Okay okay, we were for you actually." said Kim.
"Yeah right." said the dragon holder while rolling her eyes.
"Don't forget you have to make my entrance." said the athlete looking at Kagami.
"Let's make it quick." responded Ryuko.
Random rooftops, same time
A purple hero in skirt was jumping around with stuff under her arms when suddenly, she tripped because of her heels. She fell, dropped her stuff and destroyed some roof tiles.
"Shoot !" said a messy Duchess.
She got up, took her stuff and descended in a dark alleyway to de-transform.
"Wings fall !" said Duchess before turning back normal.
"What now ?" asked Nooroo.
"We'll get back to the base and I'll put my stuff in a locker until we find an actual apartment or something." said Chloé.
"Why didn't you stay at your sister's house till you find one ?" asked the butterfly kwami.
"I...I didn't want to be a bother." simply responded the girl.
"But anyways, after doing that, I know exactly what we'll do." said Chloé after looking at her phone.
Paris Stadium, 11.00 AM
Reporter : And just like teammates from abroad came to support their friend in the tournament, the Miracle League agreed to come to support their teammate King Monkey ! Autographs and selfies will be open free for everyone !
The competitors were slowly showing up to introduce themselves in the center of the stadium and a mini-stage had been set up for a certain fan favorite. The people were going crazy in the bleachers while waiting for their favorite champion.
Huge white smoke and fireworks were getting launched to introduce Muscle Man.
"Muscle Man is here to kick butts !" yelled Muscle Man who used his power and made his muscles ten times bigger than they already were.
And as the ultimate contestant, King Monkey arrived in a huge tornado who quickly dissipated and got back in the sky.
People applauded loudly for the French hero while the commentator yelled "King Monkey !"
Ryuko took back her humanoid form and joined Minotaurox who was looking out for trouble on the roof of the stadium.
"Did you bring popcorn asked the navy blue hero ?"
"No." simply responded Ryuko.
Meanwhile,
Near the entrance, a huge table had been set where heroes from around the world were signing autographs and taking pictures.
While Carapace and Vesperia were doing that, Caprikid was drawing for his fans.
"Stay in line folks, there will be autographs for everyone I promise !" yelled Carapace.
"Don't keep false promises." responded a jaded goat holder while Vesperia was giggling at her teammates.
Meanwhile,
On a balcony of the stadium had come out Rena Rouge followed by Purple Tigress and Pegasus. All 3 heroes were saluting the entirety of the stadium.
"Let's hope he wins this fast so we don't have to stay like this forever." said the fox holder.
Meanwhile again,
On the roof of the stadium had arrived a butterfly themed hero who was looking below her.
"I see him, the competition must have started already." said Duchess to herself.
On the ground, Muscle Man had stopped to talk to his coach.
"I'm not getting any better !"
"The other knot heads will soon win the game ! I need more of the drug !" whispered angrily the hero.
The coach gave him a mysterious substance which he quickly drank before getting back to his opponents.
Muscle Man grew larger muscles without no one noticing but the false hero still couldn't come near his adversaries.
Anxiety and stress was slowly getting into him.
Meanwhile on the field,
"I'll use my power to akumatize Kim so he can get more powerful and win the competition and we'll be friends again !" said the blonde girl who thought it was a good idea.
From far away, at the opposite side of the rooftop, Ryuko had noticed her teammate's presence while Minotaurox was watching the contestants.
"Oh no." simply said the dragon holder.
Chloé took a white butterfly from her cane and turned it into a shiny lavender akuma.
"I do sense some envy coming from King Monkey so go my lovely akuma and turn this hopeful heart into an accomplished hero !" said Chloé.
"Please let this turn out good !"
Anxiety and stress was slowly getting into her.
And what she didn't know, was that the akuma was going for the wrong target...
Ryuko had seen the whole scene and immediately called her teammate.
"Stop looking at the match, look right in front of us." asked Ryuko.
Minotaurox raised his head up and saw Duchess with her well-too-known type of butterfly flying straight inside the stadium.
"So she turned evil already ?" simply asked the ox holder.
"Who knows, but she's clearly up to something." responded the dragon themed heroine.
The akuma flew straight to the people but went after a certain muscled hero who had been feeling kind of anxious recently...
The purple butterfly entered the empty flask of drug which was inside the hero's pocket.
"I'll win the competition and I'll destroy all my enemies !" yelled the corrupted hero before turning all purple.
He was now as tall as the stadium and extremely muscled but before attacking, he spoke to everyone inside the stadium.
"You can crown me winner already !" yelled the muscular villain.
King Monkey was looking at him scared while the other challengers were already running for their lives.
The big villain threw a first big punch in one of the part of the bleachers which created desolations and terrified yells coming from the public.
"Oh no no !" yelled the blonde girl from the rooftop.
"I take your power back !" ordered the butterfly heroine.
Nothing happened.
"What no ! How ?!" asked a freaked out Chloé.
She tried again but nothing. She had lost control of her akuma.
Ryuko and Minotaurox then joined her.
"This is what happens when we leave you alone for like an hour." coldly said Ryuko.
Evil muscled man noticed the 3 heroes on the rooftop and threw a punch at them.
Both blue and red hero dodged by falling on the ground but the third one had been too slow. Chloé got thrown afar with remains and fell unconscious on the ground, below the fragments.
Back inside, the ox holder threw his hammer right in the villain's face which got him hurt.
"Ouchhhh !" angrily responded the enemy before charging at him.
"Resistance ! " summoned Minotaurox.
Even he couldn't feel pain, the muscled hero still got thrown 30 meters underground from the punch.
Meanwhile, Ryuko had taken King Monkey with him in the balcony where Rena Rouge was.
"Are you hurt ?" asked the fox holder.
"No I'm alright." responded King Monkey.
"Tigress and Pegasus are evacuating the injured people and V and the others are on their way here."
"What happened ?" asked the Monkey holder.
"Duchess Brat showed up with her flying insects and decided to get some attention." responded Ryuko.
Muscled Man turned his head and saw the heroes on the balcony.
"I'll destroy you King Monkey and all of your friends so there will never be anymore lackeys with overpowered jewels !" angrily yelled the akumatized villain.
He launched another one of his fist against the miraculous holders.
The team dodged the attack and Rena Rouge created an illusion of them fleeing the stadium.
"Come back here !" yelled the corrupted hero.
"This should buy us time but if we don't intervene now he'll hurt the city."
Vesperia entered the bleachers followed by Carapace and Caprikid just when Purple Tigress and Pegasus had finished the evacuation.
"Where's the trouble ?!" asked a stressed Vesperia.
"On the run." responded Ryuko.
"What happened?" asked Pegasus.
"Long story but in short, Chloé messed up." responded Rena Rouge.
"Where's my sister ?" asked the bee holder.
"No idea. Maybe she escaped already. I told you it was a bad idea to have her in the team." said King Monkey.
"So what's the plan darling ?" asked Carapace.
Rena thought for a second before speaking.
"Ok, Kagami go get Ivan back and when you're done, you'll join Juleka to fight the big guy."
"Nino, you'll go last with me and you'll trap him in a shield but for that we'll need a distraction."
"Kim and I will take care of that."
"Max, Nath you'll help the citizens in need, we'll try to limit the damages."
"Zoé find your sister, if we failed she'll have to snap the akuma out of him herself."
"But hurry and if you don't find her, come back immediately to us, you'll simply paralyse him."
Everyone knew what they had to do and got into work.
"Wind Dragon !" summoned Ryuko.
She turned into a tornado and went in the huge hole of the soccer field to get her partner back.
A few minutes later, the tornado came back to the surface and dissipated to turn back in her physical form followed by Minotaurox ready to get a rematch.
While the muscled man was running after the illusion, those quickly dissipated leaving the villain unsure.
"What ? Where are you freaks ?!" yelled the bad guy.
In the sky, a purple figure came with a huge energy fist and charged at her enemy.
The vilain got propelled right on the ground but quickly got up angrier than ever.
A huge hammer then struck the akumatized villain in the face again.
Big storms with lightning bolts came from the sky right after and attacked the troublemaker.
"Is that all you got ?" laughed muscled man at them.
The 3 heroes reunited on a rooftop.
"He doesn't seem to feel pain to any of our attacks." said Ryuko.
"Except when I throw my hammer in his face which means his face isn't invulnerable !" said Minotaurox.
"Makes sense, there isn't that much strong muscles in the face." responded Ryuko.
"Should we attack him again ?" asked Purple Tigress.
"We still have to buy time for Rena Rouge so we'll have to hold as much as we can." responded Ryuko.
Random rooftop, same time
3 heroes were watching the battle from afar.
"How are we supposed to counter that ?" asked the turtle hero.
"Honestly, no idea but we'll figure that out, we always do." responded Rena Rouge.
"Kim you'll use your power and attack from behind when he'll notice you." said the leader of the 3.
"Uproar!" summoned the monkey holder.
A rubber chicken toy appeared.
King Monkey and Carapace then played with it.
"Focus ! We have a level 5 threat here !" responded the fox hero.
Near the stadium, same time
"Chloé where are you ?!" yelled the bee holder.
Vesperia was calling her sister with her bee phone while looking over the city while being on the rooftops.
She then realized there was a weird huge amount of remains near back the stadium where the villain hadn't even gone.
"Wait." simply said Vesperia In her head.
She arrived on the ground near the fragments and started looking for her sister.
"Chloé are you there ?!"
"Answer me ?!"
After getting rid of a few rocks, the bee hero could see through the remains what was looking like a body.
"Chloé ?!" yelled Vesperia.
She fully took out her sister's body out of the remains.
Chloé was unconscious but slowly woke up with the freaked out voice of her sister.
She then spoke a few words.
"I'm sorry." said the new teammate.
"Don't worry, it was an accident, we'll fix it." answered Vesperia.
Meanwhile near the battlefield,
The citizens were in full panic, the giant was looking terrifying from below and was quickly destroying the whole city.
Apartments and buildings were falling apart and the firefighters were outnumbered against all these calls for help.
Without denying it, this monster had already killed many on his run.
In an hospital, patients were yelling of despair, the building was falling apart due to the titan's arrival near the area. You could hear the ceilings slowly crumbling. The staff felt powerless against the need of the patients.
Suddenly a huge blue portal opened in the middle of the hallway. A hero wearing glasses came out of it.
"Please, immediately pass through this portal for your safety." cried Pegasus.
The people didn't lose time and went directly into the portal.
"No pushing please." asked the horse holder.
He then communicated through his earpiece.
"How are things going up there ?" asked Pegasus.
"Pretty bad, the girls won't hold much longer and he's heading toward us." responded Caprikid.
"Come down here, I need help with the evacuation." responded Pegasus.
The goat hero quickly left the rooftop and went back inside the hospital where a small girl was lying on the floor crying.
"What's up little one ?" asked Caprikid.
"They pushed me and I'm bleeding." answered the little voice.
"Genesis !" summoned the goat holder.
He created a first aid kit and quickly healed the young child.
"Here, good as new." said Caprikid with a smile.
He summoned his power once again and created a teddy bear for the girl.
"He'll help you fight your fears." told the goat hero to the kid.
He then hold her in his arms and headed to the portal with many more.
"I'm here !" yelled Caprikid at Pegasus.
He let the girl inside the portal and continued the evacuation before receiving a message through his earpiece.
"Alert. The beast is moving toward your direction said a weak voice."
"Tigress what happened ?" asked the horse holder.
"No time, get those last people inside and open a portal to the rooftop, I'll slow him down."
Pegasus executed the order and did as he was asked.
Caprikid and Pegasus arrived on a rooftop to look at a fully destroyed district.
King Monkey had failed the diversion and was running with Rena Rouge on the ground. The huge beast now had lit eyes with energy just like his body which was generating energy, he was turning to dust everything around him. He no longer had human expressions and could no longer talk, he had turned into a mindless monster.
"No ! I don't think people can survive that !" yelled Caprikid.
"Radiations. It must be nuclear radiations, nothing can be that destructive." said Pegasus with a terrified look on his face.
While these 2 were admiring the view, Ryuko, Tigress and Minotaurox were still fighting the beast with extreme difficulties.
All 3 got punched that hard with a nuclear fist that they got throw over the other side of the city while going through a large number of buildings.
Minotaurox had used his power before the punch but still had got through plenty buildings before ending his course in a bus followed by both girls who fell on the ground.
The ox holder had scratches all over his body with part of his suit torn apart and blood on his face, one of his horn had been broken through out the attack.
Even though he was exhausted, his state was clearly better than the ones of his allies.
Tigress and Ryuko were unconscious, suits torn apart, bleeding from almost everywhere.
"What the hell did Chloé created this akuma with ? Blood of Kratos ?!" asked the injured ox hero.
Minotaurox took both girls on his shoulders before sending a message to his team.
"Call back up. I repeat in need of backup ASAP." asked the navy blue hero.
Hospital, same time
The monster noticed the 2 heroes running from him but before he could catch them, 2 others gave everything they had.
Caprikid drew a huge ice spike which transplanted his heart. The beast yelled out of pain. Another appeared and got through his abdomen while a third one arrived through his chest with Caprikid standing on it. A huge blue portal then opened with asteroids coming out of it and heading right to the monster.
The monster yelled even more but instead of getting weakened, the beast absorbed the pain and became even more powerful destroying the shards and the asteroids near him.
The hospital started crumbling with the energy blast of the vilain and completely got destroyed right after.
"Nino where are you ?! The boys need you ?!" yelled Rena Rouge through her earpiece standing on a rooftop with King Monkey.
Carapace had got rid of the remains over him and got back in action. The turtle hero was bleeding from his abdomen but carried on the fight.
"I'm almost near them !" yelled Carapace.
The beast had annihilated the shard where Caprikid was standing and Pegasus had luckily survived the deflagration of the hospital. Both severely injured heroes were on the ground looking at the huge monster who was charging at them before a green hero came in summoning his power.
"Shelter !" yelled the turtle holder.
The shield was however not enough and got immediately destroyed by the titan. All 3 heroes were already underground with no sign of life.
"NOOOOOO !" cried Rena.
"Nino answer me, Nino !?" cried with her guts a despaired fox holder.
"Alya we need to carry on or this thing will kill everyone !" said King Monkey who was also bleeding.
Meanwhile,
The 2 sisters arrived on the scene and it was devastating.
"Are we too late ?" asked a dazed Chloé.
"It's worse than that." just responded her half-sister.
When Vesperia saw Rena Rouge, she immediately went after her followed by Duchess Butterfly.
"Rena ! Oh no you're hurt !" said the bee holder.
The fox heroine was sitting on the rooftop and had her head put against her legs, crying alone.
She then got her head up.
"YOU ! IT'S YOU WHO DID THIS !" yelled a broken Rena Rouge.
She then went straight for Chloé and punched her hard in the face.
Before she could do more, Vesperia interfered.
"It's not worth it, calm down."
"Nino's probably dead and it's all her fault ! One day you're a hero and the other you're a vilain, choose your side brat !" yelled Rena while crying.
Meanwhile, King Monkey was giving all he had left against the musclear bomb that was attacking Paris.
"I own you one." simply said Vesperia.
"Huh ?" wondered the fox holder.
"Sister, promise me to do what you can, show them who you really are." said the blonde girl to the butterfly holder.
The bee heroine then went straight for the monster with King Monkey by her side.
"What are you going to do ?" asked the monkey holder.
"Give him everything I have." simply said Vesperia.
"Venom !" summoned the girl.
The Venom was way larger then her other one and the sting was twice the height it was before. She charged at the enemy and transpierced his body with her power.
Sadly for her the creature no longer felt any pain and simply activated his radiation to destroy everything around him.
The bee holder got propelled far to the Eiffel Tower but got saved by King Monkey in the air.
The monster launched at them and eradicated the monument causing both heroes to get buried under the remains.
The evil creature reused his energy blast and destroyed another part of the city with it.
Duchess Butterfly and Rena Rouge we're watching the whole scene terrified.
"Sister...NO !" yelled the purple hero while shedding tears.
"We're doomed...nothing can stop this thing and it's killing everyone." said Rena with no emotions.
The blonde heroine then punched in the face her fox partner.
"Where's the leading spirit of Rena Rouge huh ?! asked Duchess with anger.
"We have to have hope otherwise we'll lose rapidly got it ?!" said an inspiring Chloé.
Rena wiped her tears and got back into focus mode.
She then used her earpiece.
"Rena to HQ. I'm alive and Chloe's too, we need backup, effective immediately. The city, no the country, is counting on us." said the fox holder through her earpiece.
"I promise we'll find back the others and I'll make sure personally to destroy what I created." fiercely said Duchess Butterfly while looking at the dark red sky with Rena Rouge.
To be continued...
