Things are going to get messy now.
And to answer that Guest that wrote "Huh. So the Butterfly locket contains a picture of whatever is most important to the bearer?" Since I won't be touching that subject again so I'll answer you here. Yes, thats true. Nino finds his friends very important to him, that makes him such a great friend. And Gabriel's wife was very important to him when he had the butterfly. I'm very glade you picked that up, it was a little something I wrote that I thought a lot of people missed. glade you saw it. :)
Anyway, please review because now... you have to express your hate/corcern to me somehow. ;)
Rena hopped over the roof of the police, throwing a quick salute at the officers who held the crowd back. Rena waved at the crowds, receiving a few cheers before she raced towards the warehouse, Lieutenant Raincomprix and a few of his officers standing guard at the large doors, their police vehicles blocking the door. A few officers dragged the knocked-out driver out as Rena ran up to them.
"Lieutenant Raincomprix!" Rena shouted, and he turned to face the hero.
"Rena Rouge. Ladybug and the others are inside, looking for Paon Bleu." He greeted her and let her pass them, a young officer beamed when he saw her and waved excitedly, a few of the older officers chuckled at him, who blushed as they teased him. She nodded and jumped onto the roof of the van and then up onto the pile of mail and raced across them, her eyes following the paths weaving through the boxes and parcels.
Ladybug jumped up ahead of her, a frown on her face. She brightened when she saw Rena, and she smiled at her.
"Thanks for coming back, Rena."
"How's everyone going? Where's Paon."
"We can't find her." She shook her head and Chat lifted himself up on the other end of the warehouse on his baton, forcing a yawn down.
"Nothing on this end My Lady, except for mew-ny letters and parcels." The three of them waited for a second before Ladybug and Rena frowned.
Rena cupped her hands around her mouth, shouting. "Papillon? Did you find anything?"
Shouts and screams caused the heroes to turn around and ran back out into the open. The police officers pulled back behind their vehicles and had their tasers drawn and aimed at the Peacock Wielder, who held her arm around the young officer, her fan pointed toward the heroes. The heroes stumble to a halt, their eyes narrowing.
"Give me your miraculous, Ladybug, and I'll let them go. No one else has to be hurt."
"You're still following Hawkmoth's orders? You don't have to listen to him anymore, he doesn't have any powers anymore." Ladybug complained, her yo-yo hanging loosely at her side. Chat and Rena jumped onto the roof of the police car's, waiting for an opportunity.
"We both are fighting for the same thing, so yes, I will follow his orders. Now, again, give me your miraculous Ladybug."
"Not mine? What's wrong, this cat's claws too sharp?" Chat teased, blinking tiredly and received a sadden smirk from Paon Bleu.
"The Black Cat Miraculous already belongs to him."
"Um, its right here, on my finger." He held it up, smirking at her. She shrugged.
"I'll never give him my Miraculous to him. Now let him go, you said yourself no one else has to get hurt. Let him go."
Paon paused before nodding, letting the officer fall forward and he crawled away and Rena jumped down beside him and placed a comforting hand on him. Ladybug frowned as Paon shrugged.
"Sure. But I don't think you need to worry about them."
The officers behind the police cars turned their tasers towards the nearest hero, Chat yelping as three officers shot his back and sent him rolling off the car. Rena yanked the terrified officer out of the way and hid him behind the car she was on and knocked a few hypnotized officers away. Ladybug flipped backwards, her yoyo knocking the tasers out of the nearest officer's hands. They charged towards her, Ladybug eyes narrowed as Lieutenant Raincomprix jumped towards her, his eyes blank.
Chat groaned as the officers dropped their tasers and raced towards Rena, and he pulled the taser darts out of him, shuddering. He glanced up and rolled out of the way as Paon landed next to him, and swung his baton at her. She blocked it easily, her fake eye glowing gold and she smirked, sidestepping Ladybug's yo-yo aimed at her head without looking. Chat dodged Ladybug's yo-yo and charged at the Peacock, snarling.
Ladybug quickly pulled her yo-yo back and jumped away from her assailants, landing beside Rena. Rena spun her flute around and hit the officer's hands away from her.
"Where's Papillon? Did he need to recharge?" She asked quickly, shooting Ladybug a glance. Ladybug shrugged.
"Maybe he went to create a champion?"
Chat yelped and crashed at their feet, the hypnotized officers pulling back as Paon stepped towards them, her pin on her chest blinking once.
"I'm afraid that Butterfly won't be joining us." She smirked gesturing to an officer who threw Papillon's cane to them. Rena's eyes narrowed and she snarled as Chat groaned, pushing himself up.
"What did you do to him!? Where is he?"
"Off the playing field." She smirked knowingly before she whipped her two fans towards the police officers behind the heroes, two streaks of metal feathers flying towards them. Ladybug and Rena jumped back and into them, blocking them with their weapons.
"I knew you were going to do that, Ladybug." She teased as she whipped them back forward towards Chat who struggled onto his feet.
Ladybug eyes widened as Chat scream, three metal feathers digging into his leather suit and he crumbled to the ground.
"No!" She shot her yo-yo towards her. Lieutenant Raincomprix stepped into its path as Paon turned and raced away, jumping over the fence and into the street.
She pulled her yo-yo back and rushed to Chat and held him up, who yelped as she moved his shoulder.
"Chat! You ok?"
"Better… now you're here." He muttered weakly through clenched teeth, his eyes sparkling slightly as he stared up at her. Ladybug glanced up at the officers who started to blink rapidly, Raincomprix pressing his hand to his head. She glanced back to his shoulder and bit her lip as she slowly gripped one of the feathers.
"It's going to hurt." She warned him and received a ready nod. He gasped heavily as she pulled it out, a trickle of blood seeping out of his suit.
"Make sense that only another Miraculous wielder can cause another wielder to bleed," Rena said with a flinch as Chat prop himself up against Ladybug's shoulder.
"Cataclysm." He muttered, dark magic built around his claws and he scratched the remaining feathers, which turned to dust. He breathed heavily, pressing a hand against it.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug threw her yo-yo up and caught a large bandage which she helped him press against his wound.
"Go home Chat, rest."
"I'll be fine My Lady, it's only a cat scratch." He smiled up at her weakly and received a strong glare from both female heroes. He nodded. "Ok, Ladybug, I'll go. Just keep me updated."
"I'll drop by that Ladyblogger's home and have her post anything if Paon appears again." Rena promised, and Ladybug nodded, agreeing.
"Just rest. Your Kwami took a big hit for you today."
"Oh great… he's going to complain all week because of this." Chat groaned as he stood with Ladybug's help. He glanced down at Pappillon's cane worriedly, and Rena picked it up holding it tenderly.
"What happened to him?"
"Don't know." Rena said quietly.
"We'll send Alya the news of the disappearance of Papillon, maybe Paris could help look for him. His cane hasn't disappeared yet so that means they haven't stolen his Miraculous."
"Yet." Chat said, his ring blinking.
Lieutenant Raincomprix stepped forward, nodding at them. "I'm sorry what happened there, Ladybug. She hypnotized us before we knew she was there."
"It's ok. Can you help Chat to the street, he's hurt." She asked and he glanced in surprise to Chat, noting his shoulder.
"I'll have one of my officers drive him a few streets away in his car, so the public won't see him hurt."
"Thank you." She nodded at him gratefully, and he called the young officer over and had him help Chat in his police car. Ladybug and Chat nodded at each other before Ladybug turned back to the Lieutenant, Rena joining them.
"Papillon is missing. Can you spare a few officers to help us look for him? We believe Paon did something to him but hasn't stolen his Miraculous off of him yet. Which… is concerning." Lieutenant Raincomprix eyes widened, glancing between Chat in the car and Papillon's cane.
"We're struggling aren't we?" He asked quietly.
"She's strong, but she hasn't won. We'll make sure of it." Ladybug glared at him, and he nodded, calling a few other officers over and had them start searching the warehouse.
"I'm going to talk to the airport security for their help to search the grounds. Maybe she hasn't moved him yet."
"We're going to check the surrounding buildings around the airport to see if she did move him." Ladybug swung her yo-yo up onto the nearest building and shot through the air, Raincomprix moving towards the warehouse as the airport security appeared. Rena held Papillon's cane close, staring down at it worriedly. Her eyes narrowed and her fox ears perked up slightly as her mind turned. She raced down the towards the street and bounced onto the fence and jumped onto the roof, ignoring the crowd below.
She fell into the alley from the roof and ducked behind a few bags of trash and dropped her transformation. Trixx flew out of her necklace and watched her curiously as she pulled her phone out and saved a photo of Papillon from her website to her phone. Going to the gallery she studied the photo, squinting at his face. She swiped sidewards and stared at a selfie of her and Marinette, Adrien and Nino photobombing in the background.
She frowned, zooming into Nino. His golden eyes stared at her through his glasses. "Nino…" Her eyes widened and she quickly went to her phone log, clicking his contact.
"Hey Bro's, sorry I didn't pick up right now, leave a message and I'll get back to you. Thanks!" Nino's voicemail came out of her phone as she held a hand over her mouth, her eyes wide as she gasped quietly.
"What was that!" Plagg screamed as he Adrien dropped his transformation and held Ladybug's bandage over his wound. "I'm going to wither and die if you keep getting hit like that! I need my cheese to calm down! The darkness… its closing in!" Plagg panted faceplanting onto Adrien's table.
"Sorry Plagg, she caught me off guard. I'm so tired." He groaned, grabbing a wheel of Camembert and set it gently on to the table, Plagg eyes widening as he just left it there for him. He glanced worriedly at him and quietly pulled the wrapper off and bitt into it, watching his Chosen as he sat down on his bed.
"You need to rest." He said, concern building up in him. Adrien groaned, dropping his face into his hands.
"I forgot about the photo shoot, I'm supposed to be back there instead of here."
"Just say you got hurt during the fight or something and you can't do anything." Plagg suggested, pausing in his cheese for a second before ripping another piece off. Adrien sighed.
"I have a feeling Father is just going to have me rest for an hour, fill me up with pills and then have the wound covered up and push me back out. He really wants these shoots done…" He blinked tired, leaning sidewards as he started to fall asleep before snapped back upwards, his eyes wide.
"Do you think you could scratch my face to force him to cut me some slack?" He asked Plagg eagerly.
Plagg stared at him, the cheese halfway up to his mouth falling out of his paw. "Oh, my Camembert… you really do need more rest. Maybe a coma."
Adrien groaned, falling backward onto his bed. "If… only." He yawned, barely keeping his eyes open.
Plagg sighed and bite into his cheese again, his ears flicking as he heard a hiss. He growled, scanning the room.
"What's that sound! Sounds like Snazz hissing at me after I pulled her tail." Plagg said, searching the room for the Snake Kwami. His nose twitched and he froze, the scent other than his Camembert touched an old memory from his old Black Cat from the Second World War, who used to work with gasses.
"Don't breath!" Plagg shouted, swirling into the air and rushed toward Adrien as the gasses rose above Adrien's bed. He twirled over Adrien's face frantically.
"We have to get out of here, now!" Kwami frowned and tapped Adrien's face. The boy was out cold. Plagg slowly back away, his eyes widening. All of his senses twitch, and he turned around to face a gas-masked figure staring at him, his white hair being crunched by the mask as he reached down to Adrien's hand.
"Leave him alone!" Plagg shot down, bitting his hand. The man pulled back and twisted his hand around, grabbing the Kwami mid-air. Plagg struggled against his grip before he dug his fangs into his hand. The man grunted and held onto him, his other hand grabbing the ring on Adrien's finger and started to pull it off. Plagg eyes widened and he growled, his body sparking with black electricity. The man dropped him, hissing as Plagg glowed with his black powers.
"Leave my Chat Noir alone!" He screamed and charged.
The ring slipped onto his finger, and Plagg felt the chains of commands pulling him back. The mask tilted his head, staring at the Kwami.
"I rather the name Jaguar Noir."
We're almost to the final battle my dear readers...
