Um... Hi? I'M SO SORRY! A few things happened that caused me to stop... me not being a good writer, work filling my time, me fighting off addictions, getting ready to move down to Perth in a few months... so yeah, sorry. Its been a bit hard for me to write my own stories, as well as my own original stories.
I just want to thank for the reviews you guys gave me, which really inspired me write this again. This chapter is much bigger then my last one, and is the one I really looked forward when I decided to write this fic.
Thank you for your patience.
Ladybug landed gracefully next to the chimney, frowning over the skyline of Paris. The sun was setting behind Eiffel Tower, something she loved to watch, but her mind was focused on the day's unnerving events. Vrai Papillon vanishing, Paon Bleu's savage attack on the three of them and Chat getting injured. That last one scared her. Can they be killed? Is Hawkmoth and Paon trying to kill them?
Rena landed beside her, her ears lowered, fidgeting worriedly with her flute. Ladybug sighed, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Alya. We'll find him." She smiled softly at her friend, who bit her lip nervously.
"Um, yeah… Why don't you think their pushing their attack?
Ladybug frowned, glancing at the setting sun. "Don't know, maybe their waiting for something."
"Do you think, they kidnaped Papillon to get back the butterfly Miraculous?" She looked up at her nervously and Ladybug squeaked slightly.
"I hope not. I really don't know what's happening these days. Everything got so confusing ever since Hawkmoth lost his Miraculous, sending Paon, Papillon appearing. Everything is…. Ugh."
Alya glanced away, nervous as darkness settled around them, and Ladybug, sighed.
"We should head back home, Rena. Rest while we can. The police are keeping an eye on the street and will let the news station know if Paon or Papillon pops back up-"
"I think I know who Papillon is!" Rena shouted, breaking down, pulling her ears tightly.
Ladybug stared at her, before screeching.
"I mean, I'm ninety percent sure its him but, there a ten percent not suer but the ninety percent is like screaming in my head that is him, and I tried to call him out of costume and he didn't answer, and he parents doesn't know where he is, and I lied to them that he's helping me with my sisters tonight just so they won't freak out but now I'm freaking out, I don't know what to do!" Rena screeched, pulling her fox-ears down, but paused as she stared at the terrified ladybug themed heroine. Ladybug coughed, calming down slightly.
"Um, ok." She sighed, bringing herself together. "Ok, how do you know him? And are you sure?"
Rena nodded. "I know him from school." Ladybug chocked. "I always felt like there was something about him that felt familiar but it didn't click till he said something earlier that made me connect the two. Now I'm terrified for him."
Ladybug bit her lip, thinking before placing a hand on her shoulder. "We'll find him, Alya. Just go home and rest, we'll start looking again in the morning. Thank goodness it's a Sunday."
Rena Rouge nodded, and pounced towards her place, Ladybug watching her before she turned back to the Eiffel Tower, the city lighting up before her. She sighed, pulling her yoyo up and tried calling Papillon again. Her call was immediately disconnected, and she frowned worriedly before she whipped it towards her own place, flying towards it.
Landing gracefully on her balcony she tidied her ponytails. "Tikki, Spots Off." Tikki fell out of her earings and flew in front of her worriedly.
"Marinette, what happened?" She asked as Marinette fell onto her chair outside, staring at the stars. She sighed, grabbing a cookie from her purse and handed it to the Kwami.
"Papillon is missing. He disappeared while we were searching for Paon, and then she wiped the floor with us. She hurt Chat pretty bad so I sent him home to rest."
Tikki gasped, worry practically flowing from her. "Papillon is missing again. That's not good, at all."
"No, its not. I'm worried that Hawkmoth has the Butterfly Miraculous again. Great." She groaned, hiding her eyes.
"Without Nooroo on your side with the Peacock on Hawkmoth's side, we might need to see Master Fu about giving out some more Miraculous, maybe the Turtle for protection?" She bit into the cookie, thinking.
Marinette groaned. "That's not the worst part. Alya thinks she knows who Papillon is… or was. Ugh!" She pulled her ponytails, grunting as Tikki frowned.
"How did she figure it out? She could be wrong."
"She says he's someone from school! Which means I could know him, and I'm trying not to think who it could be! And then I'll start to worry!" She squirmed, grunting harder with her Kwami watching her blankly.
"Isn't this worrying?"
A phone ring tone caused Marinette to stop ripping her hair out and pulled her phone out and squeaked. "Its Alya!"
"So?" Tikki landed on her knee, eating slowly. Marinette swallowed nervously, answering.
"Hey girl! Did you manage to catch up with Adrien after Paon's attack?" Alya asked hurriedly, the twins shouting in the background. Marinette calmed down slightly, smiling.
"No, I uh, went back home and worked on a few things."
"Girl! You need to take up on the opportunity and hid with him. Who knows, he might've taken you to the movies or to a fancy restaurant until the fight was over." Alya teased, laughing a bit when she heard the girl squeal, Marinette tying to hiding her blushing cheeks with her hair even though Alya wasn't there to see them.
"I-we can't do that; I didn't have anything nice on! And what if Mr. Agreste saw what I was wearing and banned me from going out with Adrien! Or just being near him!?" She freaked out, Alya calming her down on the other side of the phone as Tikki patted her knee, the two helping her to calm down.
"And are you blushing right now?"
"… No." Marinette said defiantly, using her hair to hid slightly.
"Girl…" Alya laughed slightly, before she shouted something to the twins.
"Sounds like you got your hands full. Why don't you ask Nino to help you with them?" She said, trying to tease her but frowned when she heard Alya freaked out slightly.
"Who… oh, Nino! Right, um, yeah, I mean no. I called him already and, uh… he got a ummm…. A DJ! Yeah that's right, a DJ thing on… tonight. Yeah. Great opportunity for him you know, I totally support him with him doing this… DJ… thing."
The two of them listened to the awkward silence, Marinette slightly curious at Alya's reaction.
"Are you two going out?" Marinette broke the silence, trying to tease Alya to get a laugh. Her eyes went bug-eyed when she heard Alya's nervous hums and she struggled to get her words out to reply.
Marinette shot forward, her eyes twinkling. "Oh my gosh, you two are! You lo-"
"I gotta go! Bye, Mari!" Alya shot her down, hanging up.
Marinette stared at her phone, a massive grin growing on her face. Tikki smiled, glad something took her mind off the day they had. Chuckling slightly, Marinette settled down on her chair, slowly drifting off, Tikki flying off her knee and grabbing a blanket and struggled to draped it over her, before she snuggled up in her lap, the small god drifting off to sleep along with her.
The two launched forward as a large roar echoed across the city. Marinette rushed to the rails as Tiki flew up high above her and the two stared across the city, buildings collapsing with loud crashes.
"Tiki! Spots on!" Marinette stepped up onto the railing as Tikki spun into the Miraculous and Ladybug flung her yoyo across the street and catching the chimney. Flinging herself across the streets Ladybug landed on top of a building and looked down at a construction crew inside their demolition machines, mindlessly slamming their trucks and demolition machines into buildings.
"Paon…" Ladybug growled as Rena Rouge joined her, frowning down at the crew. "We need to get them out of there before they do anymore damage."
Rena nodded solemnly, jumping high into the air and landed on top of a truck, dragging the driver out. Ladybug flung her yoyo out and created a large net, catching an wrecking ball before it slammed into the side of the building. She held it there as Rena jumped into each machine and grabbed the drivers by the arms and flung them out.
"Where's Chat?!" She shouted out the window her as she dove for the last driver. Ladybug pulled her yoyo back into her palm and jumped down beside Rena, pulling the driver out.
"He'll get here when he can, we can take care of this for now." She said as the drivers slowly woke up from Paon's mind control.
Their weapons beeped in their hands and they opened them up to the screen to reveal Nadja Chamack live on the news, flying around the Eiffel Tower in a helicopter. Nadja stared into the news camera as she pushed her heavy earmuffs microphone closer to her mouth as she shouted over the noise.
"I'm live just above Eiffel Tower after a series of hypotonic attacks by the villain Paon Bleu, who is now standing on top of the Eiffel Tower! Ned, can you get a close up!?" Nadja shout to the camera man, who quickly zoomed in to the tip of the tower, a dark blue figure watching the city from the top of the pole.
Ladybug glared at the woman. "Lets go, Rena Rouge." She flung her yoyo up, Rena grabbing her waist as she flew off towards the Tower.
The two landed half way up and Rena dropped onto the metal frame, jumping up the side and kept in time with Ladybug. The two reached the platform at the top and stared up at Paon Bleu, who had watched them climbed up with a small smile on her lips.
"Where's Papillon?!" Rena shouted, twisting her flute around in her fingers as Ladybug spun her yoyo, the two heroines separating and walked around the pole, surrounding her.
Paon flicked her fans up to hid her mouth, her eye twinkling. "The young boy is fine, little fox. I can't say as much for you two."
Rena grinded her teeth angrily as Ladybug frowned. "So you did kidnaped him."
"Of course we did. The boy stole what was Hawkmoth's and was an annoyance. Our plan was continuously set back because of his Champions."
Ladybug chuckled, grinning. "Yeah, Akumas can be like that."
The woman glancing to Rena. "You know, according to my Kwami, the Peacock and the Fox Miraculous if joined together you'd be able to see the future. Did you know that?" She tilted her head, her eye on her hair shimmering slightly by the movement.
Rena eyebrow rose, scoffing. "Who would want to know their future? It ruins the fun of living it."
Paon lowered her fan, revealing a smile. "I don't know, I think you would've thought twice if you'd knew your future. But I guess this is what you wanted, you wanted to live it. So here it is."
The tower shook violently, Ladybug and Rena stumbled back and the two grabbed the railing. Paon steadied herself lazily as the helicopter flew past them, Nadja waving furiously at them. Ladybug glanced down behind her, her eyes widening as she saw the tower starting to tilt. She turned to Rena, spinning her yoyo.
"Get ready to jump!" She flung her yoyo to the helicopter with one hand grasping the rail behind her, the red and black yoyo wrapping itself around the seat inside.
The rail behind her turned to ash, sending her falling backwards. The yoyo untired itself and sprung back into her hand as she fell through black ash, crashing into a few metal frames before they turned to ash themselves. She twisted herself around to look up and stared in shock as the Eiffel Tower came tumbling down after her, pieces eventually fading into ash. She spotted Rena jumping from one metal frame to the next before it vanished under her feet.
"Ladybug, look out!"
Ladybug looked straight up, and Paon burst out of the black ash, snapping her fans forward, sending a shower of feathers at her. She spun her yoyo in front of her, deflecting the feathers as the two of them fell. Paon growled, pulling her fan back again as Ladybug deflected the last feather. She frowned and wrapped her yoyo around her, trapping her arms under them. She pulled herself to her and throwing a punch across her jaw. Paon grunted and freed herself from the string and kicked the ladybug heroine. The two rolled around each other, trading blows.
The ground rushed towards them, and Ladybug gritted her teeth, glaring at the woman through the ash. The blue tinted woman smiled as a dark figure flew past them, grabbing her out of Ladybug's grasp. Ladybug panicked, throwing her yoyo at a roof near her. She watched it fly towards it in slow-motion as the ground came nearer and nearer.
She felt Rena grabbing her in the last few seconds and crashed into the ground, the fox managing to roll into it.
"Rena! You ok?" Ladybug pulled herself out of the fox heroine arms, and gently helped her up. She grimaced, nodding shakily as ash started to rain around them.
"I'll be fine. Where Paon?"
"Right here." Paon stepped out of the ash, smiling. "I see you landed on your feet, I thought it was cats who did that."
"You'd be surprise how agile can fox be." Rena groaned as she readied herself, glaring at the Peacock. Ladybug spun her yoyo, readying herself for an attack from Paon.
A jab from behind struck Ladybug, sending her sprawling forward and crashing into the ground. The item pinned her to the ground from behind, sending searing pain up her spine. Rena yelped as a kick sent her flying next to Ladybug, and the two glanced over their shoulders to see Chat Noir's silver baton pinning Ladybug to the ground.
The dark figure stepped forward out behind them, holding the staff into them.
"Chat?"
The man smirked, tilting his head back slightly triumphally. "I'm afraid Chat Noir won't be joining us, Ladybug and Rena Rouge."
Ladybug growled, pushing against the baton. "What did you do to Chat?"
"He won't be coming for you Ladybug." The man frowned, offering his hand forward. "Give me your Miraculous, Ladybug."
Ladybug growled, recognizing the voice, throwing her yoyo behind her blindly from the ground. The yoyo zipped past the man's head, causing him to step away, the baton on her back slipping, allowing her to flip back onto her feet with Rena pulling herself back up, the two of the standing back to back, keeping an eye on both Miraculous thieves.
"I will never give you my Miraculous, Hawkmoth." She barked, ash around them slowly blowing away in the morning breeze. Nadja's helicopter flew over them, the camera focusing on them.
"I go by Jaguar Noir, now." Jaguar Noir muttered, readying his baton as Paon Bleu lowered herself, hiding her face with her fan.
"That name stinks like Camembert!" A voice yelled, causing the four of them to glance up to see a white leather figure falling onto Jaguar, who barely had time to block the claws with his baton. "Plagg must be rubbing onto you, Father." Chat growled, kicking Jaguar in the face and flipped back away and landed between him and a speechless Ladybug, who stared at Chat.
"Chat?" Ladybug asked and received a wink over his white leather shoulder pad.
"Hey, my Lady. Sorry we're late." Chat Blanc stretched his fingers out, silver claws extruding as he smiled dangerously, revealing cat-like fangs.
"Chat?" Jaguar and Paon paused, staring horrified at him as the sounds of fluttering wings filled the air and thousands of butterflies filled the streets, Vrai Papillon leading the charge.
Jaguar growled when he saw the butterfly-themed hero. "You brought my son into this? Your friend into a war, boy?"
Papillon growled, racing forward with surprising speed. "You brought him into this war the moment you chose to give up on him and go after some far fetched dream!" Papillon jumped up towards Jaguar, his cane raised above his head.
Paon flung a series of metal feathers at him, Papillon bursting into butterflies. The butterflies behind him burst outwards, creating hundreds of copies of Papillon and they charged forward, all them using their canes to fake attacks at the villains, distracting them. Chat Blanc jumped onto Jaguar, grabbing the baton as Ladybug jumped in to help him.
"Wait, did you say 'Father' earlier?" Ladybug asked as Jaguar ducked under one of Papillon's duplicates and sidestepped Chat's claws.
Rena charged Paon, the woman eye narrowing and blocked one of the fox's fists. The two struggled against each other for a bit, Rena growling. "What the deal between the two of you anyway? Why are you helping him?"
"We both want the same thing." The blue peacock smiled thinly before smashing her fan into her lute.
A harsh crack landed on her back sending her stumbling forward and Papillon kicked the fan out of her hand. Rena stared at him, shocked as he kicked her away and covered her with duplicates of himself.
"Papillon?" Rena asked and the butterfly hero smiled at her. A copy of him paused beside her, laughing.
"Yeah, that's the real one."
Rena raced to Papillon, hugging him who chuckled and returned it. "Hey, Rena. You ok?" Rena pulled back, staring at him, tears in her eyes.
"Am I ok? Are you?! You were kidnaped! I was worried sick! I was terrified of losing you after everything that happened."
"Hey, easy." Papillon paused, placing calming hands on her shoulders. "I was just kidnaped, I'm fine now."
"All I could think about last night was… if I lost you, if you weren't there at school, laughing or we weren't hanging out together with the others or by ourselves… I would've lost a great friend." She lowered her head onto him, calming herself slowly as Papillon blinked at her confused.
"Um… ok what?" He asked, his focus slipping.
The butterflies on the battlefield fluttered apart and Paon Bleu burst out of them, sending a wave of feathers towards them. Both heroes reacted at the same time, Papillon forcing the butterflies in front of them as Rena pushed him down as she spun her lute quickly. Feathers flew through butterfly barrier and Rena deflected them aside, and charged through the butterflies, catching Paon by surprise.
"Go help Ladybug and Chat, I got her!"
Chat and Ladybug blocked and attacked Jaguar, Chat catching one side of the baton with his claws and held it as Ladybug came in for the attack. Jaguar lifted Chat up and rolled over him over, sending Chat Blanc into Ladybug. Ladybug caught him and he quickly got onto his feet to push her out of the way Jaguar's baton.
"Stay out of this son, before I do something I regret." He growled, retracting the baton back to normal size. Chat sent a death glare towards his father, clutching his hand as he helped Ladybug back up.
"So Akumatizing people and forcing them to fight against their will is something you don't regret? Sending Akumas after your own son?! You don't regret any of that?!"
"I'm doing this for us!" Jaguar yelled as the Papillons duplicates separated into hundreds of butterflies around them.
"I hate it already." Chat growl, snapping his hand back open. "Cataclysm!" A dark purple force formed around his claws and he jumped forward, catching Jaguar's baton. The baton quickly cracked and shattered in the man's hands, who growled.
"Damnit Adrien, just stay out of my way!" He dropped a hard punch down into Chat jaw, sending him stagger back.
"Chat!" Ladybug raced forward, pulling Chat back out of the way.
"Just give me your Miraculous before you get yourselves killed, Ladybug! Cataclysm!" Jaguar launched forward, his hand reaching towards Ladybug.
Time slowed down as Ladybug eyes widened as Chat Blanc pulling her back and placing himself between her and the Jaguar. Jaguar's eyes widened and he redirected his Cataclysm away from Chat. Chat's glared turned into surprise as he felt someone else pushing him aside, Papillon reaching out to grab Jaguar's wrist with an angry cry.
A thunderous crack echoed through the city of Paris before a large purple explosion exploded, the shockwave causing neighbouring building windows to shatter and sent the heroes and villains flying back. Groaning, everyone stood up sluggishly, their miraculous rippling with purple electricity. Ladybug and Chat Blanc glanced towards the centre of the of explosion and watch Vrai Papillon standing up tenderly.
He groaned, twisting his wrist around to stared at a shattered butterfly Miraculous, purple sparks jumping between the broken wings.
"Nooroo?" He said weakly.
The sparks charged up quickly, causing Papillion to scream as the miraculous glowed brightly on his wrist, the butterflies around on the battlefield glowed and started to be sucked into the broken jewel. Particles of his suit started to peel off of him as he gripped his arm, screaming as the Miraculous burned his wrist.
Chat Blanc cried in pain briefly, causing Ladybug to grab him as a purple mist rolled over him and a butterfly slipped out a ring on his finger and was sucked into the bright light as Adrien collapsed into Ladybug's arms. Ladybug stared in shock at Adrien in her arms before she shrieked briefly, Rena jumping beside her and held Adrien down as the ground around them shook, Papillon's screams causing everyone to watch in horror as the light grew around his wrist.
"Nooroo!?" Papillon cried through gritted teeth, squinting into light.
"Nino!" Nino heard Nooroo's voice distantly as his suit was pulled off his skin like a burning bandage. "Let my Miraculous go! Now!" Nino growled, throwing his hand into the light. He screamed as his hand grabbed the Miraculous and ripped it off his band.
A shockwave sent Nino flying back, and he pushed himself up to see the ball of light rippling in mid-air before it snapped out of existence.
Silence fell upon the Battlezone, Nadja's helicopter slowly coming back around after being blasted away by the blast. Nino stood up slowly, holding his burn wrist with his burnt fingers, tenderly. Ladybug and Rena helped Adrien up, Ladybug looking very flustered before the started moving towards him. Ladybug and Adrien frowned as they drew near, their eyes widening.
"Nino?!" They cried as Rena rushed towards him, her Miraculous starting to create a thick orange mist.
"Nino, your hands!" She reached out to him, Nino eyes narrowing onto her Miraculous.
"Wait, Rena, your Miraculous." He stopped her, pointing at it. She cast a quick glance at it, freezing when the mist grew with intensity.
Nino glanced behind her, his eyes spotting Adrien and Ladybug watching them, red particles slowly building up around her Miraculous. Nino eyes widened.
"Adrien, move!" Nino shouted, pushing Rena away from him. Adrien frowned and glanced up at Ladybug, and his eyes widened when he spotted her earrings. He pushed her away quickly as she reached up to her Miraculous, the particles glowing bright red.
The particles sent a flare out, ripping the air between her and Adrien. The flare rippled up the battlefield and up the side of a building, trees and grass appearing after it, growing uncontrollably. Vines climbed up the side the building, the vines crushing the building. Ladybug squealed, covering her earrings with her hands, particles slipping out of her fingers.
Nino glanced towards Rena as she yelled, orange mist swirling around her as she looked around franticly.
"Nino!" She shouted.
"I'm right here, Rena!" He said, reaching out to her. A black bolt rippled right before him, and the ground ripped apart between him as Jaguar Noir yelled in pained, clutching his hand as the Cat Miraculous started to send chaotic flares out around him. Nino eye widened and ducked as another flare flew over him, the flare hitting the bottom of Nadja's incoming helicopter. Pieces of the helicopter turned to dust, others turned to hard rock or just exploded, the people inside falling.
"No!" Ladybug dropped her hands and flung her yoyo to fly by them to catch them. A burst of red flares roared as she dropped her hands, flares whipping all over the battlefield, creating a thick forest with flowers that were pitch black with thousands of stars in them. A flare whipped under the falling passengers and millions of water bubbles appeared, catching the passengers as water creatures formed right before their eyes.
Ladybug tried to clamp her hands over her ears again, but the red flares pushed her hands back and flares stared to twirled towards Jaguar Noir, who was also fighting against his own Miraculous black flares. Red and black flares clashed, causing the space between them to shake.
Nino fell forward, staring down the small chasm before he glanced up towards Rena on the other side, her orange mist twirling around Paon's own blue mist. The two stared ahead of them blankly, both of their bodies shaking. Nino stood back up and stepped back before he rushed forward, jumping over the chasm. He raced up to her, grabbing her shoulders.
"Rena, snap out of it!" He shook her violently and shuddered as the orange and blue mists wrapped around his wrists. Paon and Rena turned to look at him distantly, both speaking at the same time with various of different voices.
"Nooroo is gone. Isn't he, Vrai Papillon? I do not approve of this plan! Give my Ring to Ladybug, Father! With the defeat of Hawkmoth, Paris can now rest easy. I love you, Nino. Who are you? Thus… I was born."
Nino frowned, grabbing the Fox Miraculous and snapped it off her neck, Rena's eyes widening and cleared as she spoke once more in her far away voice. "I'm Hawkmoth." She gasped and launched forward, holding her chest. She glanced up at Nino, her mask staying in place as the blue mist pulled away from her.
"Nino?" She groaned, holding the side of her head and then glanced at the Miraculous in his hand, which started to burn him. "Nino!" She grabbed the Miraculous in her gloved hand and flinched as the light grew.
"What were you thinking?"
"You were babbling weird stuff, I thought if I remove your Miraculous you'd stop."
"I don't… remember that." She groaned, holding her Miraculous away from her as it burst into bright light. Trixx rolled out of it, holding his small head in his paws in pain, mist rolling off of him.
"What's happening? Gah, never had to hold my powers back like this before." He groaned, glancing around. His eyes widened, a small whine escaping him when he saw Ladybug and Jaguar Noir fighting off flares. He turned to the two teens, his eye widening fearfully.
"This… what is this?"
"Nooroo is gone." An aged voice said behind them, causing them to turn around to see a small Asian man, holding his wrist where green smoke seeped out between his fingers. He turned towards Nino. "Isn't he, Vrai Papillon?"
BOOM! NOOROO IS GONE! MAHAHAH! I've been hinting and telling you all what his purpose was for yonks and now I can finnaly take that away! and now! LET THE REAL CHAOS BEGIN!
Please give me a rievew, I love reading them. Like from Brave Chaser
"I don't care how, but YOU HAVE TO UPDATE! PLEASE! I must see this!" So here you go, another chapter. When I saw your comment I literly smiled and dug down to write more of this chapter.
Fanakatsuki, the reason I didn't do have Nino tell where the secret room was because... what was the point? Through I did think about it. Maybe in a future chapter.
SpideyFanGirl123, yes Chat Blanc is a good guy in this story. I like the idea of Chat Blanc and hope they do it in the show. and i've seen him as a good guy (kinda, like the Punisher) before in other fics, so I thought I might as well do it in this one too!
