Marinette was on her bed using her laptop to check the Ladyblog for info on Heatblast or the green plant guy whose name was something like vinewild. She did find some footage of Heatblast on the Ladyblog but it was only of the fight they had with Pyro and already showed her things she had already known. She tried searching some other Ladybug and Cat Noir fansites but they had even less than the Ladyblog which figures since Alya gets live footage and most of the other sites are just speculation and rumors.
Marinette groaned at the fact nothing seemed to be on the internet about either of them.
"Why not check sites that aren't Ladybug or Cat Noir related Marinette?" asked Tikki her kwami which looks sort of like a Ladybug but larger and has bigger eyes and three prong like things for a tail.
"Great idea Tikki." replied Marinette as she then googled Heatblast and sentient plants but came up with scratch.
"Ugh its hopeless Tikki." groaned Marinette again this time then collapsing onto her back.
"You should just try different key words Marinette. Didn't Wildvine say he was an alien plant?" said Tikki.
"Who?" asked Marinette
"The plant thing from the fight with Riposte." answered Tikki.
"Oh yeah him. Your right Tikki I should search alien plant sightings." said Marinette now with newfound confidence as she arced back up ninety degrees.
Marinette then searched it on her computer and found a few video results about an appearance at a planetary studios.
Marinette clicked on the top video and it showed Wildvine stretching across the amusement park.
"Yes Tikki this is it!" exclaimed Marinette.
Marinette watched the whole video and some more showing him saving some writer named Tim Dean and Abel North from North's twin brother Kane whom Abel apparently stole the idea of making the Kangaroo Kommando from.
"Wow looks like he may be a hero after all Tikki." said Marinette
"See you shouldn't have been so quick to judge him." said Tikki.
"Yeah its just I don't know anything on him and he didn't stick around to answer questions. Same with Heatblast. Remind me to talk with Master Fu about this soon." replied Marinette. Tikki nodded her head yes to that.
Just then Marinette felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and pulled it out. It was Alya calling so Marinette answered "Hey Alya what's up?" asked Marinette.
"Marinette you will not believe what I just found on the internet!" screamed Alya through the phone causing Marinette to move it away from her ear and wincing.
Marinette put the phone back up to her ear after Alya was done shouting Marinette's ears to death and said "Ok ok I'll bite what did you find? Also never do that screaming again"
"Alright sorry girl just super excited is all. Anyways you know that fire guy that helped Ladybug and Cat Noir beat that pyro akuma?" said Alya
"Yeah" replied Marinette
"Well I did some searching on the internet all over and I found that he has been sited elsewhere as well." added Alya
"What where?!" Marinette said in shock
"All over the U.S here I'll text you some pics" replied Alya prior to her sending Marinette of some Heatblast sitings in the United States.
"Wow how he get here all the way from America?" asked Marinette.
"Well he has been all over the country never seen in the same place. He's been in D.C, Chicago, Universal Studios and more places." stated Alya
"Wait wait back up Universal Studios?" said Marinette even further shocked because she knew Wildvine was also there.
"Yeah why you know something?" Alya asked suspiciously
"What me no. I just didn't where know Universal Studios. I mean I don't know where Universal Studios is." stammered Marinette.
"Um ok well the one Heatblast was sited at is in California" (Not actually sure of what state its supposed to be in just guessing) answered Alya
"Ok thanks Alya is that all you wanted to tell me?" asked Marinette
"No girl there's more!" exclaimed Alya.
"More sitings of Heatblast?" asked Marinette
"No well yes but that's not what I mean't. What I did mean is he wasn't the. only one to supposedly be seen across America." answered Alya
"Not the only one? What do you mean?" asked Marinette again still confused.
"Other super powered people like him girl! And not only that but every source I find says that he and all the others are ALIENS!" Yelled Alya causing Marinette to move the phone away again
Marinette put the phone back up to her ear hoping that was the end of Alya's excitement.
"Woah woah woah back up Aliens. Come on Alya there's no such thing." said Marinette.
"I don know Marinette the sources I've checked have shown spaceships, videos, and fights." Alya replied.
"Spaceships yo sure its not just special effects or editing?" questioned Marinette.
"Yup you should check it out I uploaded it to my blog an hour ago." replied Alya.
"Alright I'll check it out. Bye Alya." said Marinette
"See you Marinette." farewelled Alya as she and Marinette ended the call.
As soon as the call ended Marinette pulled open her laptop and checked Alya's blog to see all the new info on it. Sure enough there it was. So many different super powered people or as Alya said Aliens. Heatblast and Wildvine were there to and the photos were taken all across the USA.
Marinette had trouble believing this. "Tikki do you know what this means?"
"Um no Marinette what?" asked Tikki
"It means that something is going on and I'm going to find out. Tikki Spots On!" shouted Marinette
Ladybug leaped out of her skylight/trapdoor and begun swinging around Paris. She was hoping to find another of the supposed Aliens but knew her odds were slim which is why she perched on the roof of a building and dialed up Cat Noir. However he didn't answer implying he wasn't transformed right now since it wasn't patrol time or an akuma attack.
Ladybug left him a message saying they need to talk. She was about to swing away to continue her search that she knew was unlikely to turn up anything when her yoyo got a news alert.
Ladybug reopened her yoyo to see the news alert. "Nadja Chamack reporting Don't be bemused its just the news. Currently there are a string of bank robberies all across Paris all being committed by what appear to be clown akumas. Ladybug and Cat Noir have yet to be seen."
Ladybug closed her yoyo and then started to use it to swing across Paris towards one of the banks robbed.
Ben was tired out from being stuck in the woods for hours yesterday. It had gotten dark and cold in the forest and when he tried to transform into Heatblast again to get warm he got Grey Matter which did not help with the cold at all.
So currently he was wrapped in blankets on his bunk in the Rustbucket. Ben's rest however was interrupted by Gwen calling out "Hey Ben you better see this."
Ben moaned and crawled off of the top bunk with a blanket wrapped around himself and staggered to Gwen at the Rustbucket's table. Gwen slid her laptop to Ben to show him what she had meant. It was a news broadcast about a string of robberies "Nadja Chamack reporting Don't be bemused its just the news. Currently there are a string of bank robberies all across Paris all being committed by what appear to be clown akumas. Ladybug and Cat Noir have yet to be seen." The feed then began to show the seen of the crime. The bank's entrance looked like a wrecking ball hit it and when they got to the vault it appeared to have been eroded by acid. After the news showed the damages they the reporter known as Nadja Chamack said "We now will show the security camera footage of the robbery.". The footage was exactly what Ben and Gwen were expecting. The circus freaks were robbing the bank and wrecking the place with freaky hair, big muscles, and breath so toxic it would melt your body into a puddle.
"Just great. The freaks hit the bank when I can't get them" said Ben
"Oh no Ben you need to get out there and go stop them." said Gwen
"No can do. If I don't warm up before I head out I could get a cold again and you know that causes side effects to the watch." replied Ben
"Ben if we don't stop them now then they could go into hiding and get away." added Gwen this time more stern.
"We don't even know where they are right now so let's just wait until they commit another robbery and catch them at the scene." groaned Ben as he staggered back to bed.
"Benjamin Kirby Tennyson! You are the laziest person I have ever met." complained Gwen
"Well if you're so worried about it right now why don't you check out the scene." replied Ben sarcastically as he rolled back up into Bed.
That gave Gwen an idea "Actually you're right. Good idea Ben.". Gwen agreeing with him was something Ben was not used to nor was he expecting it. "Who are you and what have you done with my cousin?" asked Ben rhetorically
Gwen scoffed at that and replied "What I can't agree with you once besides I got a spell that'll get me in and out of the bank with no one even knowing I was there."
Gwen arrived right outside the bank and was met by a lot of cops and police tape. "Wasn't expecting this many cops but I can still get past them." thought Gwen. She then went to look or an alleyway or somewhere to hide. Gwen found that she could crouch behind a police car nd no one would see her since no one was on the other side of it. She then went over, crouched behind it, and flipped over to a marked page in her spellbook and read a spell "INVISIBILIA!". Like magic (which it was) Gwen turned invisible nearly instantly.
Gwen looked over herself to see if it worked and saw she was indeed invisible. "Perfect" thought Gwen as she began to sneak past the police and under the tape.
Right before Gwen could enter however she heard a zip sound and someone landing on the ground from above right behind her. She turned to see it was Ladybug.
"Ladybug glad to see you hear." said and Officer as he lifted up the police tape to allow her into the bank.
"Just doing my job officer." Ladybug replied as she passed Gwen and into the bank.
Gwen followed Ladybug as a Detective or some higher ranking cop explained the details of what happened but Gwen already knew that from the news. Gwen then wandered away from them since she knew all of what they were discussing at the moment and began to look for some other clues as to where the freaks may be. While she was looking around she stepped in a puddle.
Gwen lifted her foot up to see a murky greenish brown puddle. "Ugh this puddle reeks." she muttered. Gwen then realized that this is a clue. Not only the puddle but it appeared to be a trail of some sort, like it was streaked in. She also only knows of one place in any city that smells and looks so disgusting. The Sewers.
Since she got what she came for, Gwen decided it was time to take her leave. However what she didn't notice was after she left a certain spotted heroine also noticed the puddle and its stench as well as making the same revelation Gwen did.
Ben felt warm in his bed. He was about to fall asleep for a nice nap but was prevented by a buzzing in his pocket. Ben groaned and took out his phone and answered it without checking the caller id.
"Can it wait I was about to take a nap." mumbled Ben.
"What nap? Forget about that I know where the freaks are. I'll meet you at the Rustbucket and we'll then head to the sewers." said Gwen
"Wait sewers? I just took a shower." said Ben but was only met up with silence. Ben took his phone away from his ear and looked at the screen. Gwen had hung up immediately after she told Ben about the freaks.
After meeting up with Ben at the Rustbucket Gwen then dragged him with her to the nearest sewer lid.
"Ever heard of texting Dweeb. At Least then I would have been able to get a little sleep." Complained Ben as Gwen lifted off the sewer lid.
"Would you quit complaining like a baby and come down here." said Gwen as she herself began to climb down into the sewer.
"What no way." argued back Ben
"What not man enough to get a little filthy?" said Gwen from the bottom of the sewer. Seeing the look on Ben's face she knew she had got him.
"Ugh fine but if I get sick you are so taking care of me." Ben said reluctantly as he then followed Gwen into the sewer.
A pink glow emanated from Gwen's right hand which she lifted upwards to act as a torch. Upon entering Ben noticed the place was a lot cleaner than he expected and that all the sludge (if there was any) was all in the canals and not on the walkway.
"Huh this place still stinks but is not that gross" said Ben.
"Well Parisians take better care of their sewers than Americans and they do have a Sewer museum." replied Gwen
"Wait they have a museum about sewers?" asked Ben
"Yeah didn't you do any research about Paris prior to us coming here?" asked Gwen
Ben had not. He only made assumptions about what he already knew like the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre and that it was the French capital. Other than that he knew nothing on Paris prior to arriving in it.
After a few minutes of walking Ben got board and said "What exactly are we looking for other than the freaks?"
"Their hideout." replied Gwen
"And how do you know it's here?" questioned Ben
"Sewer water in the bank" was all Gwen said in reply.
Ben was about to complain again when they heard noises coming from up ahead from around the corner of an upcoming intersection.
Gwen put her hand out to signal to stop as she then walked slowly and quietly towards the noise and peeked around the corner.
What Gwen saw was some sort of door to some other part of the sewers and could hear the noise coming from the other end of it. The noise sounded like arguing which Gwen was partially able to make out.
"No that's ... cut! I get ... percent of the profit stink breath!" said a deep male voice.
"Yeah I saw you sneak a bit of ... gold from the loot pile blockhead!" stated another voice although this one was more reaspy and gargled than the other.
There was one voice Gwen couldn't make out but she assumed it was Frightwig
Gwen wasn't able to make out the rest but all she could make out was a female voice as well. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see Ben tapping her to get her attention.
"Well what's the noise?" asked Ben
"Definitely the freaks." answered Gwen.
"Then lets bust down their door and take em out already." said Ben as he activated the Omnitrix.
"I couldn't agree more." replied Gwen. She then uttered a spell "Commuta Habitum." and immediately there was a glow emanating off of her like Ben with the Omnitrix but pink instead of green.
As the flash died down Ben was able to make out her features better. Gwen's hair was still the same. Well except it was now glowing pink. She also wore a mask similar to her old lucky girl mask but it was blue and less cat like than it used to be. Her blue top didn't change much just became less formal and now had the cat insignia Gwen always used to wear as a kid. Gwen's skirt had changed into skin tight leggings with blue on the sides and a more sky blue going down the middle. her shoes held the same pattern as her leggings but the greatest change to Gwen's appearance was her skin color now being purple!
Gwen put her hands on her hips to do a pose and said "How do I look."
"uhhh purple?" said Ben in disbelief that she could now transform in a way.
"ok I meant more like do I look good or bad but purple works to." replied Gwen
"Oh and call me Lucky Girl." added Gwen.
"Why?" asked Ben
Gwen than nudged Ben and replied "Cause I want to keep a secret identity to Doofus."
"Ok I get it." said Ben nudging Gwen back and then turning his attention back to the Omnitrix.
After turning the dial a few times Ben lifted up his right hand and said "It's Hero Time!" slamming down the core igniting the transformation in a bright green flash.
Gwen covered her eyes like she always does when Ben transforms. After the flash disappeared Gwen uncovered them to see Eye Guy.
Eye Guy was Ben's creepiest alien next to Ghostfreak. He had no eyes on his head but everywhere else except his legs and feet (maybe could be hidden eyes under his pants?) On his head instead of eyes were two big bat like ears in place of his eyes and his skin was human colored but had a more alien like texture and somewhat differently colored with a big giant eye on his chest
Eye Guy looked himself over and cheered "Yes EYE got the one I asked for."
Lucky Girl facepalmed at the pun and said "Why do you always use eye puns in this form."
"Because Eye Guy has eyes everywhere." answered Eye Guy.
"Ugh whatever lets go get them." finished Lucky Girl igniting her fists in pink mana orbs.
"Right behind you." added Eye Guy.
Lucky Girl and Eye Guy ran up to the door and Eye Guy blasted it down with an eye blast from his chest.
As the door fell Eye Guy and Lucky Girl could see all three of the freaks easily. The big muscular one Thumbskull, The weird redheaded one Frightwig, Lastly the disgustingly horrid one Acid Breath.
Eye Guy charged through the hole where the door used to be and shouted "Peek a boo EYE see you!". As he did this he charged up the giant eye on his chest and fired a large laser beam string Thumbskull into a pipe smashing it. Water leaked from the broken pipe onto Thumbskull.
"Who else wants some!" boasted Eye Guy.
"Its that shape changing kid again!" growled Frightwig
"And Lucky Girl!" annouced Lucky Girl trying to make an entrance.
"So he has a sidekick now?" said Acid Breath scratching his head.
"Sidekick! I am no one's Sidekick!" yelled Lucky Girl who retaliated by blasted Acid Breath with Mana Discs repeatedly. After four or five hits he fell down but wasn't out. Frightwig wrapped her hair around Lucky Girl's wrist. "uh oh" said Lucky Girl right before Frightwig pulled with her hair dragging Lucky Girl through the air and smashed her into a wall.
"Gw-errr Lucky Girl!" shouted Eye Guy who in turn aimed his hand at Frightwig and blasted her with his eye on it. He then tried running over to Lucky Girl but was rmmed by a recovered Thumbskull who smashed him through the way he came in and into the wall on the other side of the sewage canal.
As soon as Eye Guy hit the wall he charged up his big eye and blasted Thumbskull off of him and into the sewage canal.
"Want Some More?!" taunted Eye Guy. Thumbskull growled in response and lunged a fist at Eye Guy but missed hitting the wall he had smashed Eye Guy into. Seeing his chance Eye Guy aimed his hand at Thumbskull's fist in the wall and fired a freeze ray at it trapping his hand in ice and stuck to the wall.
Eye Guy ran back through the now bigger hole to find Lucky Girl fending off Frightwig and Acid Breath however he knew she couldn't keep it up.
"I got Big Ugly and Stinky!" shouted Eye Guy as he shot repetitive laser fire at Acid Breath who ducked behind some pipes for cover leaving Gwen to handle Frightwig.
Ladybug was waiting for Cat Noir to arrive at her location after leaving him like 5 messages but after 15 minutes she gave up knowing she shouldn't wait too long or the robbers could get away. So she went into the sewers herself but nearly gagged at the stench of the place.
"ugh this place smells horrible. But I guess I should have expected this it is a sewer after all." complained Ladybug to herself as she began walking down the tunnels in hopes of finding the thieves.
After a few minutes of wandering aimlessly Ladybug began to hear noises. They sounded like crashing and shouting. So she followed the sound to find the big strong robber slam through a wall with some creature as a battering ram and into the adjacent wall across the sewer canal.
Ladybug got in a battle pose ready to take down the ugly brute but she didn't have to. The creature which she could now identify as having countless eyes everywhere but its face took down the albino strongman easily by somehow blasting him off of himself while taunting "Want Some More?!". As the big brute got back up and struck again he dodged and froze his fist to the wall. After freezing him he ran back to where more fighting sounds could be heard.
As the albino giant struggled to free himself Ladybug knew she had to stop him or he would just rejoin whatever fight was going on in the other room. So she threw her yoyo as hard as she could at his head making a direct hit knocking him unconscious and thus immobile.
Ladybug turned to see the eye creature shout "I got Big Ugly and Stinky!" whilst charging another of the identified robbers (this one the acidic breath guy) with his laser blasts. Ladybug was about to charge in when she saw someone else there. What surprised her the most about this person was the fact she had purple skin and was throwing what appeared to be laser frisbees at the female robber.
The purple skinned woman then rolled to the back side of the room and faced the red haired felon shouting "Ventus!" Suddenly Ladybug felt a force pushing her like a strong wind. The wind pushed her against the wall to The big guy with his hand frozen's right whilst the crazy haired criminal was blown onto the left. After a few moments the force died down and Ladybug was able to move again but so was the redhead thief.
Ladybug upon seeing this threw her yoyo at her tying her up in it.
"Really tying me up with a yoyo. Who knew how weird the Parisians were." said the Woman
"Watch out for her hair!" shouted the purple woman.
Realizing her mistake in tying up the woman and not the hair Ladybug dodged as her hair struck where she was standing but also had to release her from her yoyo to escape the strike.
The purple woman began tossing more frisbees at the criminal (Ladybug was just going to call Crazyhair for the time being.).
"Trap her hair!" shouted the Purple skinned woman. Ladybug realized this was her chance and amed her yoyo at Crazyhair's hair.
Crazyhair realized what was going to happen too late and her hair got tangled in Ladybug's yoyo.
"Ugh my hair release it at once!" demanded Crazyhair.
"Say Please." taunted Ladybug.
Crazyhair got her lights knocked out with a punch to the head from the purple woman. She fell right next to her partner in crime who was still unconscious.
Ladybug retracted her yoyo and said "Thanks."
"No Problem." replied the purple woman
"Uh who are you? Another Miraculous Wielder?" asked Ladybug
"Nope I'm Lucky Girl!" said Lucky Girl whilst trying to do a heroic pose by putting her hands on her hips.
"Um ok?" said Ladybug.
Ladybug was about ask another question but was interrupted by another voice "Looks like you two took care of Frightwig.". Ladybug turned to see it was the eye creature who was standing there holding the Toxic Breath guy by the scruff of his jacket however his mouth was also frozen.
"And You are?" asked Ladybug to the eye creature
"Eye Guy." replied the creature now known as Eye Guy as he dropped Stink breath onto the edge of the canal.
Ladybug laughed at the silly name. "Eye Guy seriously hah"
"Yeah EYE know the name is kinda lame. But you try coming up with a better name its impossible." said Eye Guy
Ladybug stopped laughing after a few seconds and stood straight. "Ok so who or what are you two then? asked Ladybug
"Alien" "Magic Wielder" Eye Guy and Lucky Girl said simultaneously.
"Wait so you're an alien and you wield magic?" questioned Ladybug.
Eye Guy and Lucky Girl nodded yes in response.
"Yeah right there is no such thing as aliens" said Ladybug whom was starting to get skeptical of them.
"Believe what you want." said Eye Guy as he shrugged his shoulders. Lucky Girl elbowed him in response causing him to say "Ow" and she then added "its true. If you don't believe us check out all of the alien sitings in the U.S"
After Lucky Girl said that Ladybug knew this couldn't be a coincidence.
Ladybug was about to continue with the questions when Eye Guy beat her to the punch. "Uh we should go before you know what."
"Uh yeah nice meeting you Ladybug." said Lucky Girl as she and Eye Guy began to run off but ladybug wouldn't take knowing nothing for an answer and shouted "Hey stop!"
Eye Guy and Lucky Girl obeyed and turned to face Ladybug.
"Are you related to Heatblast or that Wildvine guy?" questioned Ladybug to Eye Guy.
"Uh thats kinda personal. But you know us heros got to keep a secret identity and all so uh I'll see you again later bye!" said Eye Guy as he ran off leaving a fuming Ladybug.
"Sorry about that. He can never stay in one place too long so don't take it personally but you can ask me a few things if you want." added Lucky Girl.
Ladybug turned to Lucky Girl and said "Yeah uh is he related to Heatblast and Wildvine?"
"You do realize thats like asking what his secret identity is and we don't really know you so no offense but we don't trust you yet." replied Lucky Girl
While Ladybug didn't like that response she understood it.
"Well will you be defending Paris along with me and Cat Noir now?" asked Ladybug.
"Yup me and him. but uh he may not always be around" Lucky Girl quickly added that last part increasing Ladybug's skepticism.
"Alright I guess thats all for now then. Bug Out." concluded Ladybug as she then left the way she came in whilst Lucky Girl went the way Eye Guy went.
A face looked up from reading his newspaper from across the street whilst on a bench to see the circus freak bank robbers being pulled up from the sewers and arrested.
"Well they say if you want something done right." The unknown man lowered his newspaper to show his clown face.
"You do it yourself" said Zombozo giving off and evil laugh.
Whew I'm exhausted. I just spent like two hours straight writing half of this chapter in one night. Don't worry though chp 6 should still release next Saturday though but I'll mention on my profile if it won't. Hope you all enjoyed the extra long chapter I gave you all so please review I am always looking for constructive criticism or new ideas for the story. Thanks for reading I'll see you all next chapter :)
P.S Gwen's spells are just translated into Latin. I used Google to do it so if its wrong blame google not me. Also Gwen's disguise is mainly similar to her Omniverse look. Just with longer sleeves and her midriff isn't showing as well as having leggings instead of a skirt (with the same pattern as her skirt in Omniverse)
