Sorry I haven't been updating as much as I wanted to. But I've been busy with life, writing my own original stories, writing D&D sessions, prepping D&D sessions, reading, watching Netflix, work, studies, photography, ect. So, sorry. but I'm still writing it, just not as fast as I used to before I had a job, a D&D group and all that.
Hope you enjoy!
"Nooroo!" The Kwami jumped slightly as Nino cried and smiled excitedly at him.
"You're ok, Master!" He swirled around him before rubbing himself against Nino's cheek.
"What did I say about calling me 'Master?'" Nino laughed, cupping him around his cheek. He glanced down at the casket, a woman on the other side of the glass sleeping quietly. He pulled away from Nooroo, tilting his head curiously at her, her facial features and blond hair felt familiar.
"Nooroo, who is she?" He asked quietly. Nooroo fluttered down to the glass, pressing his paw against it.
"She was Hawkmoth's wife." He said, his wings drooping. Nino glanced down at her, surprised.
"Hawkmoth has a wife?"
Nooroo glanced up at him, nodding. "Both of Hawkmoth and his wife found us on the body of my last wielder in the ruins of our temple." Nooroo sighed, closing his eyes and wiped a few tears away. Nino glanced down at his miraculous on his wrist, his body slumping.
"How… did he die?" He asked carefully, Nooroo's wings fluttering slightly as Nino rubbed his back.
"She died after she saved Plagg and Tikki from a madman who wore the Peacock Miraculous. She gave a student named Fu the Miracle Box and she went back for Peacock Miraculous, but she didn't survive."
"I'm… I'm sorry, Nooroo." He sighed, staring at the woman. "But Hawkmoth has Chat's Miraculous, we need to help Ladybug and Rena to stop him."
Nooroo perked up and swirled around, his eyes wide. "Chat Noir lost his Miaculous!? Oh no, quickly there's an elevator at the other end of the room." Nooroo grabbed the edge of Nino's shirt as he turned and ran to the elevator, Nino tapping the button. The doors slide opened to reveal a small round platform, buttons set into he wall. Nooroo swirled to them as Nino stepped on, and pressed the top button.
The elevator shuddered and rose, Nino staring up at the empty space above them as the rose. They came to a stop and followed a track backwards, another track moving forward before rising in front of him.
"Where does that track go?"
"That goes into Hawkmoth's office in his home." Nooroo said, sitting on Nino's cap. Nino screeched, fixing his glasses as they moved away from that track.
"You mean we're in his house?! How big is his house?! How did he pay for all this? And where are we going?" He asked as the elevator shuddered again and started to rise. Nooroo chuckled as they rose out of the ground and up into the attic, Nino glancing around furiously. The large window opened in front of him, letting the setting sun light slip in, causing Nino to loose it.
"He has a secret lair!? With an automatic window with the shape of a butterfly on it! What the heck, Hawkmoth! What the heck!?" Nino held his head tightly, the Kwami laughing and floating to the miraculous on his wrist.
"Hawkmoth usually keeps his butterflies in here too. See." He touched the jewel, butterflies fluttering out of it and filled the room, causing Nino to groan at the sight.
"This is so cheesy! Its as if Hawkmoth was trying to recreate one of Adrien's anime villains. Gah, why?!"
"Up here, Hawkmoth was able to transform and send out his Akuma's, hiding till Ladybug and Chat Noir defeated him." Nooroo chuckled, swirling around him.
Nino glanced at his miraculous, frowning. He glanced at the butterfly shaped window, setting his cap straight.
"Well, I guess we can use once for its real purpose. Nooroo, wings rise!" Nooroo flew into the Miraclous, the butterflies swirling around him and pressed themselves against him before Vrai Papillon stepped forward, butterflies fluttering away to rest against the floor and walls.
Placing his cane onto the floor, he closed his eyes, looking for someone. A strong emotion bellow him caused him to pause, dropping his gaze to see the a boy hugging himself a few floors down.
"Why is there a kid in Hawkmoth's house?" He bit his lip, glancing outside before sighing, a butterfly landing in his waiting hands and soaked it with his powers, the butterfly's white glow turning light purple and he sent it off, watching it slipping own the elevator. Groaning, he dropped his head and closed his eyes again, switching to the butterfly's view. The butterfly pressed itself against the roof above the track he didn't go down and it appeared in a white office, a large painting of the woman in the coffin hanging up on the wall. The butterfly fluttered under the table and landed on the ring the boy was fiddling with, Papillon 's vision switching to the white void.
Papillon appeared behind the boy as he looked around surprised before he turned and stared at the butterfly hero. Vrai Papillon stumbled back as Adrien gasped, relieved.
"Vrai Papillon! You're here!"
"Adrien…? Wha… what are you doing here?" He muttered, shocked. "I don't, I don't understand."
"Papillon, I need your help! My, my father… he, he stole my Miraculous. I don't know why, or how he knew I had one but… he has Plagg!"
"Plagg… you, had a miraculous?" His eyes widened, pieces starting to fall into place. "Adrien… are you…"
"I'm Chat Noir." He said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.
"Oh, my… oh no…" Papillon said, shocked. "You're Chat Noir. Your… your…"
"I'm sorry, this isn't how I wanted you guys to find out but… I need your help, I need to get it back from my father… and… I think, I think…" He started crumble, tears starting to roll down his cheeks.
"Do you know that… that your…"
"I think my father is Hawkmoth." Adrien broke down, sobbing.
Papillon paused, staring at his best friend. He glanced down at his miraculous, the jewel gleamed in the white void and the four butterfly wings around it pressed against his suit. He stepped forward, hugging Adrien, letting him sob into his shoulder.
"I'm sorry man, you have no idea how sorry I am. I know he was hard to live with as your father, and that you lost your mother…" He paused, glancing away briefly, thinking back to the woman bellow. "But I need your help. Now, here." He pulled away, Adrien avoiding his gaze.
"The worst part is, I think… he was doing it for me. And I don't know why!" Adrien clenched his teeth, breaking down into tears again. Papillon sighed, holding Adrien's shoulder.
"I'm sorry dude. But, Adrien… I need your help." He shook him awake, Adrien glancing up at him.
"But, Plagg… my Miraculous its gone."
Papillon smiled, his golden eyes glimmering as he held a butterfly to him. "I can help with that… Chat Blanc."
