Chapter 51: Fighting a Queen(Adrien's POV)
He runs towards the Eiffel Tower over the rooftops. Who would he choose to hold the Fox Miraculous? Probably Chloe, as her venom might not help against a glitter statue. But then, didn't it help against an akuma made of water when she first arrived?
Getting close to the tower, he realizes that Style Queen is already there. Which means they don't have much time to figure out a good solid plan. Then again they improvise every fight, so it shouldn't surprise him that they have to think quickly.
Adrien jumps onto the ground and runs up the stairs. Running into Alya which makes the Fox Miraculous fall out of his hand. But he doesn't realize and gets off Alya.
"What are you doing here? An akuma is here, it's dangerous."
"I'm just here getting more footage for the Noirblog. I renamed the Ladyblog to Noirblog, as Ladybug hasn't shown up. Can I interview you and your team sometime?"
"Sure." growls Adrien frustrated. And then Alya pushes him and when he turns around Alya has been turned into a glitter statue.
Using that chance Alya gave him, he runs up the flight of stairs, not looking back down to see Style Queen.
That was the second time someone pushed him out of the way of Style Queen's glitter lasers.
He stops after what seems like minutes running up the stairs. Looking around he sees a golden barrier around a glitter statue and a young woman standing there trying to break the barrier.
"Chat Noir!" calls the young woman once she notices him.
"Style Queen's akumatized object is in the mouth of that statue. But I'm having a hard time breaking the barrier by myself, as nothing seems to work." states the young woman.
"Thank you. Although I'm sure my cataclysm can handle it." He says.
Honeybee appears beside him, "I'll distract Style Queen while you break the barrier. You help me." She points to the young woman who nods.
"Cataclysm!" Putting his hand to the barrier it breaks, and he hears Honeybee and the woman going down the flight of stairs. Now he has to recharge before he can destroy the glasses. Taking them, he runs behind a pillar.
"Claws in!"
Plagg appears in front of him. "Done already?"
Shaking his head he says, "Will you be alright without camembert? I'm still wearing the suit from earlier."
Plagg scowls, "Yeah. But I'm not happy about it."
"Sorry, I wasn't thinking an akuma would attack at the Fashion Show."
"Just like you thought that an akuma wouldn't show at the Ice Rink yesterday. Hawkmoth is going to send an akuma every day until he gets what he wants, kid."
"I know, it's just tough to battle one everyday. I don't know how Marmora isn't exhausted as me and Chloe whenever a fight is done."
"I know, kid. I also hope Hawkmoth eases up with akuma attacks. Transforming everyday isn't exactly a picnic for me either."
Adrien nods, knowing Plagg would rather be stuffing himself with camembert instead of transforming him to fight akumas.
"Alright. I think that's enough of a break. Plagg Claws Out!"
Plagg moans for a bit, before going into Adrien's ring, transforming him.
He easily snaps the glasses releasing an akuma. "Cataclysm!" The akuma turns to ash, like all the other akumas. He turns and watches the gold glittering statue of a civilian become human again. It worked. Nice!
Although he is a little sad that he had to break the glasses as Audrey probably won't be happy about that. But it's fine, at least they managed to stop Style Queens ramage.
Zoe's POV
Zoe walks down the Eiffel Tower with her mother. Her mother is ranting about the heroes and how they had to break her glasses to get her back to normal. Her shoe kicks something. Looking down she finds a box that is decorated with flowers that are orange.
Interesting.
"Zucchini. I've decided to stay in Paris for a while, visit Casserole and Anthony. And then after that we're heading back to New York if Paris displeases me, like last time."
Her mother would never elaborate on what happened last time, other than she left Chloe and Andre for New York and had an affair. She isn't too interested in that, and staying in Paris might help with her career choice of acting. Maybe.
Later that Day:
Zoe sits on the hotel bed her stepfather gave her. It was nice of him to give him a room like Chloe's. Although it was odd she hadn't seen her halfsister yet.
She takes the box out of her dresser drawer. She'd been saving a time for where she could open it in secret. After all, it's mysterious that the box had just been lying on the Eiffel Tower floor before a set of stairs.
Zoe opens the lid and an orange glow appears before her. After the glow dies down, a fox thing looks at her, floating above the box, which holds a fox tail necklace.
"I'm Trixx. The Kwami of Illusions."
