MAHAHAHAH, new chapter! sorry it took so long to post this guys, I've been busy and I won't put this before my real life. So, whats happening with me? Well I've just finished my Photography Diploma, started a entry lvl course for animation on the internet, so I'm going be slightly busy most days now to finish that this year.
I've been playing D&D with my brother and sister, which has been fun. I've been writing the story down and I've posted two chapters so far on my Fanfiction account if you want to check that out.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, its pretty much right after Adrien talk with his father. In the next chapter, we're going to start to see Gab's plan in action. Hope you stay around for that! :)

Please review and tell me what you think of it! ENJOY!

Nino walked into the park, nodding in tune with the music playing through his headphones. He easily moved down the path, enjoying himself. He felt a soft touch on his shoulder and he peeked over his shoulder, Nooroo held his paw up and smiled as he held an earphone with his other paw. Pulling his phone out of his pocket he paused it and pulled the shared jack out and smiled back at the Kwami.

"Its very good, Nino! I can feel the emotions you poured into it!" He shouted, waving his small arms around. Nino laughed, slipping the phone back into his pocket.

"Thanks Nooroo, ever since I got you I feel like I'm able to pour more emotions into my songs. Got anything to say for yourself, Kwami?" He teased and Nooroo chuckled as he put his headphones with the Kwami.

Glancing up Nino saw Adrien posing for the photographer, his face falling. "I hope Adrien is ok." Nooroo peeked over his shoulder and stared at Nino's friend as he posed, swallowing nervously as he watched the boy. The Kwami eyed the silver ring on Adrien's hand, frowning.

"What did he say he wanted to talk about? Could it be serious?"

"I guess. He texted me pretty early this morning. I thought he sleeps in on the weekend. He said he wanted to talk to me in person, so it must be serious." Nino sighed and tensed as Nooroo squeaked and ducked back into the bag.

"Hey Nino!"

Nino glanced behind him, his heart missing a beat as Alya and Marinette walked towards him.

"Uh? Alya! Marinette! What are you guys doing here?"

"Adrien texted."

"He sounded… upset." Marinette said worriedly, fidgeting worriedly. "Is he going to-" She started to panic as Nino glanced towards his best friend.

"He texted me too. Something's wrong." He said, his voice calming the girl. Alya's eyes narrowed at him and Nino blushed, fixing his glasses.

"Everything ok, Alya?"

"Hmm?" She blinked, her eyes focusing. "Oh, uh… yeah, somethings being bugging me." She scratched her head, confused. Nino shrugged.

Adrien relaxed as the photographer waved him down and turned towards them. His face perked up before falling, causing Nino to frown.

"Something is wrong." He muttered as they walked towards to meet him halfway, Adrien forcing a smile to his face. "Dude! You look like your half dead! Why are you still modelling!?"

He grinned tiredly, patting his best friend's shoulder. "It's the season of fashion bro, Father wants me to model all of his products. He even trying some new settings in the photography like under the moon."
"Surly he knows that all of this will cause you to collapse." Marinette pressed, her concern overcoming her stuttering. Alya nodded.

"A dead model is no use to him." Alya noted. Her eyebrow rose when Adrien rose.

"I think something is seriously wrong with the company. I think my father's company is in trouble." He said nervously, Marinette gasping and sending Adrien waving his hands worriedly at them. "Please don't say anything to anyone but, I think he needs me to do this to save the company." Adrien shoulders sagged, exhausted.

"But would it be worth killing you over?" Alya said, crossing her arms.

"After Mother vanished, Father worked harder. I think the company is his only comfort after losing her." Adrien said softly, Nino tensing at the mention of her.

He hardly speaks of her. He thought before placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"He has you."

Adrien smiled at him, receiving a tired grin back.

"Adrien." The group turned to find Nathalie standing in front of him, Adrien tensing. "You father called, he wanted remind to continue your work." She handed him a large book, Adrien nodded.

"And remember, if there's a attack, he demands you hide till it's over." She instructed, receiving another nod before she marched off towards the parked car. As she stepped in, she tapped her Bluetooth earpiece and closed the door behind her, speaking to the earpiece.

Alya's sharp eyes narrowed at the book and snapped it out of Adrien's hand. "Hey, I know this book! It's the book I read while my family were moving here to stay on top of my schoolwork." Alya flipped through the pages, reading some of Adrien's handwriting as Adrien try to claw it back. "Why are you working on this? Spill!"

"Dude! I thought you were at the top of our classes." Nino said, Adrien scratching the back of his head as Marinette gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

"Do you need help?"

"This is actually what I wanted to talk to you guys. Father is pulling me out of school."

"What!" The three of them shouted, staggering.

"Pulling you out of school! Oh no! Why?" Marinette said, hyperventilating and received a calming pat on the shoulder from Alya.

"Father wants me to be taking every opportunity to do a photoshoot. He even designed a whole new line focused on teen boys my age he wants me to be the face of. New wardrobe… yay!" He said sarcastically as Marinette frowned, thinking.

"Pulling you out of school just to focus on photoshoots? Something isn't right." She muttered and Nino patted Adrien the shoulder.

"I'm sorry bro. If there's anything we can do, let us know."

Adrien sighed. "Its going to be a long season."

A crash caused the four to jump, spinning around to see Paon Bleu jumping in front of the camera set and jumped back onto the roofs, looking around and ignoring the cries of the cameramen bellow. Nino tensed, feeling Nooroo pressing a paw onto his back through the back. He glanced nervously at the others, his mind racing as he adjusted his wristband, the Butterfly Brooch gleaming up at him.

"Quick! Hide!" Adrien shouted, racing across park with Marinette racing after him. Nino turned and raced away in the opposite direction and ran out of the park, ducking behind a bench next to the park's wall.

Nino pulled his backpack off and unzipped it, letting Nooroo out.

"She's definitely trying to get your attention." The Kwami said as Nino slipped his glasses off and cleaned them.

"Do you think she's up to something?"

"She's working with Hawkmoth, its usually 'fight till you get the Miraculous, and I'll give you what you want' but this time, he's having her wait. Something is going on. Be careful out there, Nino." Nooroo begged him. He placed his glasses back on and smiled at the small kwami.

"Sure thing, little dude. Wings Rise!"

Butterflies exploded out of the brooch and covered him as Nooroo was sucked into it, and Vrai Papillon stood and peeked over the wall, watching Paon waiting.

"She's definitely wait for us." Papillon said, butterflies flying around him. He held his hand out and called three butterflies to his hand.

"Go, find the others." He watched them flutter off, and turned back to watching Paon.

Two soft thuds landed behind him and he turned to find two of the butterflies he just sent fluttering around Ladybug and Chat Noir.

"Great, you two are here."

"Have you found a champion yet?" Ladybug asked, stepping up beside him and peeked over at Paon. Papillon closed his eyes, feeling the emotions around him.

"No I haven't, plus there's no one here that's wants to help. But I don't know if I should just yet. Nooroo said that she looks like she's waiting, something Hawkmoth only would do if he has a plan in motion."

"I agree, bro." Chat said, his body slouching slightly. "Something's up."

"You ok, Chat?" Ladybug turned to him, concerned. Chat perked up, grinning normally.

"Better when you're around, my Lady." Ladybug nodded and turned back to Paon, Papillon chuckled and whispered quietly to him.

"Smooth talking, dude. You managed to get a flicker of affection from her." He encouraged him, Chat perking and his grinned doubled in size.

Papillon perked up and turned and saw Rena sneaking towards them, his butterfly leading her. She quietly greeted Ladybug and Chat, before winked towards him.

"Hey Gramps, thanks for sending your butler." She teased him and he quickly formed his cane, rolling his eyes.

"Sure thing, foxy." The two shared a small laugh, Ladybug and Chat watching them amusedly.

"You two done?"

"Yeah, we're done. What's the plan."
"I think your Kwami is right. Something's up, so here's the plan…" She quickly explained her thinking, the others nodding. "Got it?"

"Yep. Lets go, Ladybug!" Rena said, glancing at Chat and Papillon, who fist bumped each other.

"May the force be with us." Papillon said, causing Rena to pause.

"And may the odds be ever in your favour."

Rena blinked, the back of her head twitching as she watched them, a memory trying to resurface. Ladybug smiled at them and swung her yo-yo quickly.

"Let's clipped this bird's feathers."

Please review, they make my day. And I hope you guys will stay around for the future, the end game is on horizon.
