Unfronterly I haven't seen the epsoide that has importent infomation that could've helped this chapter so I kinda had to make things up with what little information that was online so... ENJOY!
Marinette waved Alya and Nino off, watching with amusement as Nino tried to pick up a conversation that wasn't school or Ladybug related. She knew Nino had a crush on Alya, but Alya being Alya, wasn't up for any sort of relationships yet, through that didn't stop Marinette teasing her whenever she could, without it backfiring of course.
"I must admit, I'm surprised they haven't gotten together yet." Tikki said, reading Marinette's gaze as she peeked out of her purse. Marinette smiled down at her, turning away and started walking home.
"Yeah, they were made for each other." Marinette sighed.
"Hmm, yeah I can see them getting together." A voice echoed from the purse and a red head popped out, his purple eyes glancing behind them at Alya. "He reminds me of my last fox. I like him."
"You ok in there Trixx?" Marinette asked, glancing down at him worriedly.
"I'm ok with cookies, but I love things with a bit more spice! You wouldn't have spicy cookies, would you?"
"Um, no sorry. I don't think Papa makes those." She shrugged, Trixx turning to Tikki with a grin on his face.
"Your so lucky to have a wielder whose family owns a bakery. I see why you're the Kwami of Good Luck." Trixx's and Tikki laughed quietly as Marinette reaching her home, the two gods dropping back into the purse as she opened the door.
"Hey, Mama, Papa!" She shouted to the back, Tom waving at her from his bench. Sabine grabbed a jar and passed to her as she walked past.
"Save you some cookies, Marinette. Now I want you to work on your studies, understand?"
"Yes Mama." Marinette quickly pressed a kiss against her cheek and rushed up to the stairs to her room. Shutting her door back down the two Kwami's floated out of the purse as Marinette slipped her work onto her table.
"I should probably tell you what's happening, shouldn't I Trixx."
"That would help to explain to Alya why she's being reactivated so soon." Trixx floated in beside her as she opened her computer and went to Alya's blog. "I see she's kept the blog going after her little stir."
"This is what I want to show you." Marinette opened the video of yesterday's fight, Trixx frowning as soon as she saw the Peacock.
"Duusu? Duusu is out?" He frowned, glancing at Tikki as she hushed him.
"Duusu? Who's Duusu?" Marinette glanced at Tikki, who sighed.
"I guessed I should've told you." Her Kwami squirmed slightly. "I didn't want to worry you but… I think that's a Miraculous Wielder…"
"You mean you didn't tell her? Oh, boy." Trixx slapped his small face, Tikki glaring at him.
"You mean there's two misused Miraculous?" Marinette jumped up, waving her arms at Tikki. "Does that mean… we're be fignting two Miraculous?"
"That's why I didn't want you to know! You're worried enough as you fight against Akuma's, but you never fought against one that was as powerful as a Miraculous. Now you will be. I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Marinette calmed down, smiling soflty at Tikki. Trixx turned back to the screen, watching the video play by.
"Its ok, I understand you were just-" Trixx screamed, causing the other two to jump.
"You didn't tell me my fox was nearly trampled by debris!" He shouted, his paws digging into the screen as he watches Alya tumbled back on the video. He paused as Alya focused the camera onto the person that saved her.
"Is that…" He whispered, Marinette face darkening, pausing the video muttering darkly.
"Hawkmoth."
"Can I… talk to you Trixx… Alone?" Tikki turned to Marinette, who nodded and dropped back down the stairs.
"That is so not Hawkmoth. That's a Butterfly's suit." Trixx whispered, pointing at the video, the video paused as the hero's white mask stared up at the camera. Tikki nodded.
"I know."
"But she doesn't?" He looked unimpressed at her. "Are you telling her anything?"
"I want her to figure it out herself. I can't direct her life all the time, we're gods remember? We have more knowledge then they do and if I give advice all the time, she won't make any choices of her own and won't learn anything from mistakes she needs to make."
"Yeah yeah, save me the speech. But this, this is important." He pointed again at the screen.
"Let her figure things out." Tikki pleaded.
Marinette came back up to hear Trixx agreeing. She held a small bowl of chili's up.
"Guessed what I found in Mama's kitchen."
"I love your mother!"
Alya peeked into her twin's sister's room, smiling when she saw them finally sleeping. Closing the door quietly, she sighed and tip-toed to the kitchen where Otis Césaire closed the fridge and grinned at her.
"The girls back in bed?"
"For the second time tonight… Yeah." She grinned tiredly.
"You're a great sister, Alya." He smiled softly, Alya returning the smile. "I just wanted you to know that."
"Pa…" She moved in, hugging him. He returned it and after a few seconds, he spoke again.
"Can you make me a sandwich?" He pointed towards the bread, smiling hopefully. Alya gasped.
"Pa, you are you trying to flatter me into making you a sandwich. How dare you! Flattering your oldest daughter to make you a simple-" She said as she pulled her phone out of her back pocket as it dinged, her voice trailing off as she read it.
"So, can you?" Otis waited, snapping Alya out. She gazed up at him, her eyes wide before she burst into laughter.
"I'm sorry, but… I got to go. Um, Marinette needs a hand."
"At this hour?" He glanced at his watch, Alya grabbing her jacket and keys.
"Don't wait up for me!" She squealed, closing her family's apartment door behind her and rushed down the hall and out the door outside. Pausing she glanced around, spotting the spotted heroine on the roof on the other side of the street.
Rushing over the street and into a quiet alley, Alya grinned around, waiting for her to drop by. Alya laughed as Trixx twirled around her.
"Trixx!" She held her hands up and the Kwami landed in her hands.
"Hiya girl! How have you been?"
"Trixx!" She squealed again, hugging him to her cheek and he laughed. "I missed you! Am I being reactive?"
"Yeah." Ladybug's voice sounded above her and Alya back away as Ladybug land. "You saw what we fought yesterday, clearly." She rolled her eyes, Trixx swatting her hand slightly.
"I'm not happy with you. You were nearly crushed." He said, crossing his arms.
"Is this what you mean by, talk to you later? I knew it!" She fist pumped in the air, Trixx floating up and landed in her hair. "I knew it but, I wasn't sure because it was so soon after Sapotis's attack but…"
"After Hawkmoth's appearance yesterday, both Chat and I thought it might be best if you reappeared, even if you only appearing when Hawkmoth appears." Ladybug explained.
"Ok, so Hawkmoth equals me coming to join you. Not when there's a Akuma out? You didn't capture that Peacock lady's Akuma, what if she come back?"
"Apparently, that Peacock is Miraculous Wielder." Ladybug glanced to Trixx, Alya's jaw dropping.
"What!" Alya yelped, Trixx floating in front of her.
"Duusu and Nooroo were lost a long time ago, apparently both were rediscovered by people who are using them for their own gains."
"I don't know why the Peacock is out now, and why Hawkmoth decided to come out of hiding when she did. Thankfully the news reporters haven't attacked us yet with 'why didn't you beat Hawkmoth when you had the chance?' or 'Ladybug and Chat Noir fails to take down terrorist.' Thanks for not saying anything." Ladybug smiled, Alya nodded.
"I knew you had things under control."
"Thank you. And now, your miraculous. For now, just stay hidden till we call you." Ladybug smiled at her, handing her the black box. Alya face lit up and she took it in her hands and opened it, admiring the necklace that hung around her neck briefly during her sister's Akumation.
"How about you take it for a quick run though?" She winked at her, Alya beaming and pulled the necklace back around her neck.
"Ready Trixx? Let's pounce!"
Trixx dived into the Miraculous, and Alya giggled as fallowed the transformation with her hands, feeling her costumes ear's appearing above her wild hair. Twisting around, Alya admired herself and pulled her flute off her back.
"How does it feel to be back?" Ladybug ask.
"Amazing." Rena Rouge sighed, spinning her flute in her hand. Ladybug grinned and spun her yo-yo and pulled herself up onto the roof, Rena fallowing her. "Chat said he'll met me at our starting point for our patrol. I'll go grab him as you run around, getting your 'paws' back." She winked at her, Rena rolling her eyes.
"That was terrible. Leave it to Chat, Ladybug!" She shouted as she raced down the roof tops. Ladybug wave her off before throwing her yo-yo into the distance and pulled, flying over the roof's.
Rena Rouge grinned up at the sky before jumping over the street, the ground falling bellow her before rushing back to her and she landed softly on the next street. Spinning her flute between her hands, she naturally spun it back onto her back. Inhaling, she prepared to yell, her fox ears twitching as they heard running footsteps on the other side of the street. Glancing over, she bite her lips shut, her eyes widening when she saw a figure running on the roof tops, his purple and white suit almost meshing into the background of the city and it's lights.
Gathering her thoughts, Rena grabbed her flute off her back again and pounce over the street. She growled slightly, the man in purple and white freezing and turned as he heard her. Their eyes met, and Hawkmoth eyes widened. He bent backwards, Rena's flute flying over him and she landed softly on the roof behind him.
Spining around, Rena dialled Ladybug's yo-yo as Hawkmoth spun around, a surprise look on his face.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa!" He gasped, before tilting his head at her. "Who are you?" He held his hands up in front of him as Ladybug answered Rena's call.
"Ladybug! I found Hawkmoth. Get here, now!" She quickly said and hanged up before hearing her reply and spun her flute towards him, her eyes narrowing. Hawkmoth back away.
"Hey hey, let's just, just, calm down now."
"Yeah, like that's going to happen, Hawkmoth!" She pounced again, her flute out the side of her. Hawkmoth paused but relaxed, letting it hit him. Rena froze behind him, glancing behind her at him as he turned around unfazed.
"How did you… Did you?"
"Now lets calm down… And uh, who are you?" Hawkmoth asked, snapping his fingers at her. Rena blinked, lowering her flute slightly.
"I'm Rena Rouge, the foxy heroine that helped Ladybug and Chat Noir when you Akumatized the Césaire."
Hawkmoth face panicked and Rena felt a pang of delight for a second.
"They were Akumatized!?" Rena stumbled for a second, staring at him.
"What are you doing? Is this some sort of trick, Hawkmoth!" She lifted her flute up at him, Hawkmoth stepping back.
"Hey, chill girl. How about we sit down for a bit, yeah?" He offered, glancing around before brightening, rushing over to the chimney and sat down, his back against the wall. He smiled at Rena, her flute still pointed at him and gestured around them.
"Relax Rena." He said again, Rena lowering her flute, her eyes studying him.
"I, I don't understand." She licked her lips, Hawkmoth tilting his head slightly. "You're Hawkmoth. You're misusing the Butterfly Miraculous. But, you're so young… and your voice…"
Hawkmoth sighed, shifting into a more comfortable position. "I think we need to talk, clear the air a bit. I'm not Hawkmoth."
Rena eyes narrowed, her eyes drifting over to his exposed wrist and eyed the Miraculous pinned to it.
"Ma told me not to talk to strangers or shifty people. People who fallow butterflies and steal butterfly-theme jewellery included." The boy chuckled, nodding.
"That's true. My ma told me the same, I figured that last bit out myself after Hawkmoth first attacked. Let me interduce myself, then we can be friends." He smiled again, Rena shifting on her feet.
"My name is Vrai Papillon."
HEY LOOK WHO IT IS! Rena Rouge, and a big thanks to ivystar who came up with the name Vrai Papillon (and yes I did see it.) Thank you all for giving me so many names, a lot of them gave me inspirations to create some of my own but this one... It just felt right for the series, and I was tossing around with a another name and had written a draft outline for how Nino would choose that name but, I felt it wasn't QUITE right for a name for a Butterfly hero. But that name will come up later as Akuma Nino will make. :)
This is also one of the larger Chapters so, sorry it took you a bit more time to read it. It all had to be one chapter so... anyway. I'm going to have a break now, for a while till more episodes of Miraculous come out on Netflix and I can get a bigger understanding to Rena's powers and such for future Chapters.
As always, Please Review! I want to hear from you, I want to listen to your thoughts about something I'm working on for you. Each Review, They Make My Day Brighter.
