David's Suicune was making her dash around the Habitat, making her way across the fields.
"Hmm… So far, so good." Suicune said before seeing a light coming from Francisca. "That girl… Is she trying that Double Burst transformation again?"
"It would seem so." Nuna's Tapu Bulu said.
"Well, at least she's making a better attempt at it than the other two. Those Zapdos and Moltres are always fighting." Suicune said.
"Yes, I feel for their owners, especially the red headed one. The Galarian Moltres still won't listen to her." Bulu said.
"Yes, Moltres has a lot of anger issues that need to be settled. He has even been compared to the one they call Bakugo." Suicune said.
"Well technically it is true." Nagana said, descending down to them. "So, what are our owners up to today?"
"It's Friendship day in Paris today. After we finish with our training, we're heading out with the others on a city wide scavenger hunt to meet with our assigned mystery buddy and complete challenges across the city." Galarian Articuno said.
"Are you sure you're gonna be okay, though? You still have those two knuckleheads to deal with." Suicune said.
"I will be okay." Galarian Articuno said. "In the spirit of Friendship Day… I suppose I can at least TRY to form friendship with those two ruffians."
"Not happening." their voices echoed.
"Ugh...though that may never happen." Galarian Articuno said.
"Ah, well. It was worth a shot, anyway." Suicune said. "Why fight with them anyway?"
"We're territorial birds. Have been all our lives. We've always fought every time we see one another. Just nature's way." Galarian Articuno said.
"Just like your Kanto Versions." Cheshire said. "But those three get along really well. I'm sure you guys can too someday."
"The only difference between us and them is that they've been here longer so they had more time to work things out between them." Galaraian Articuno said.
"True." Cheshire sweatdropped.
"Well then, I must be going. Miss Francisca is going to receive her first clue soon." Galarian Articuno said.
"Alright. See you later." Suicune said.
"Bye bye!" Cheshire said.
Later….
"Wow...Friendship Day…" Zan said as she and her sisters looked about Paris. "Sounds like a fun time."
"Yeah...and all we gotta do is fine Adrien for this day." Flamberge said. "Wonder how Marinette is going to do alone?"
"She's not alone. I think I saw her talking with Kagami." Zan said.
"Kagami? Oh, that's not good on her end." Francisca said. "They both have crushes on Adrien. But...Kagami's mother is very strict. I can't imagine her giving consent on something like this."
"Y'know, I think there might be more to Kagami then we think." Flamberge said. "She's just like Adrien, same kinda parent, similar lifestyle…. It's like those two are almost the same."
"Hmm… Well, when you put it like that…" Francisca said.
"KAGAMI!" a voice boomed as rumbling steps were heard.
"Uh oh…" Flamberge said as they looked to what was approaching. It was a giant, crimson red sports car and female samurai centaur combination.
"Is that...Tomoe?!" Zan said.
"Not quite, although I have heard that she idolizes Tomoe." Francisca said.
"So right now...she's...Ikari Gozen." Zan said.
"Yeah, I think that sums it up. Guess she's mad at Kagami for participating in this event without her consent." Francisca said.
"Seems this may be a bit much for the guys. We need to get help." Flamberge said.
"Fortunately...I think I know where our help may be." Zan said, approaching a nearby cinema.
"Ticket please." said a familiar old man.
"A cinema worker, Master Fu?" Francisca asked.
"I had to pick a cover since Hawk Moth knows of my identity." Master Fu said, pulling out the Miracle Box. "Choose the miraculous that you need."
"Hmm...we need something powerful. Ah…" Zan said, taking out a choker.
"Ah...the Miraculous of the Dragon. It gifts the wearer the power of Perfection." Master Fu said.
"Perfection?" Flamberge said. "Doesn't the old saying go that there's no such thing as perfection?"
"I don't think he means that kind." Francisca said.
"Either way, it'll work for this battle." Zan said.
The mage sisters returned to the streets, Ikari Gozen rampaging through the city as the others combated her.
"Where were you three?" Bow asked.
"We were getting a Miraculous. We just need someone to wear it and…" Zan said seeing Ikari Gozen thrust at her before blocking with her lance as the miraculous flew through the air and into Ikari Gozen. "No!"
"Wait, hold on. I think this may actually work out." Francisca said.
Inside the body of Ikari Gozen, the box containing the Dragon Miraculous fell through the villain's throat and dropped into the lap of the captive Kagami. Kagami looked at it curiously as she opened it as flying out was a small dragon like creature.
"Greetings young lady and good day to you. Fear not. I am Longg, the Dragon Kwami." he said.
"A what?" Kagami asked.
"A Kwa-mi." Longg reiterated. "Now, let me tell you of the feats a magic being like myself can accomplish. Ladybug has high hopes you will defeat Ikari Gozen with panache and the element of your choosing: water, wind and lightning. Now, before the words can be spoken….let me discuss her plan…"
"Longg, Bring the Storm!" Kagami said.
"Wait, not yet!" Longg said as he was pulled in. Kagami then had a scale-like mask appear on her face as a suit mixed with black, red and gold appeared on her body along with an emblem of three different colors swirling around her chest. "Wind Dragon!" she said as she became wind and flew right out of Ikari Gozen.
"Nice work there." Francisca said.
"Thank you for the miraculous. I am Ryuko." she said.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance." Francisca said.
"Kagami...you've disobeyed me yet again...and with the help of these so called heroes!" Ikari Gozen called out in anger.
"I think you need to understand something. Kagami only came here because she wanted to know what it's like to have friends too." Francisca said.
"She doesn't need any friends." Ikari Gozen said.
"That is where you are wrong, mother." Kagami said as she and Ikari Gozen clashed, sword to sword.
"Wow. Those two are really going at it. Seems like Kagami is really holding her own." Flamberge said.
"Speaking of which… I haven't had a lot of time to test it, but do you mind if I tried something here?" Francisca asked.
"Try something? Wait… Are you suggesting…" Galarian Articuno asked.
"Like I said, I don't know if it's going to work, but I have to try." Francisca said as Kantonian Articuno flew in as well.
"Well… I'm interested in seeing how the results turn out." Galarian Articuno said.
"Okay then… Here we go." Francisca said as she got into a prayer stance. "Let's go, you two. Burst!"
Snow and Psychic energy then swirled around her in a tornado as the wings of both Articunos appeared on Francisca's back. One being made entirely of snow and the other flowing with psychic energy. Her hair growing and flowing on the wind like Articuno's tail as she flew right into the air.
"Whoa! Awesome, Franny! I gotta try that!" Flamberge said.
"You may want to focus on getting Galarian Moltres to not kill you first." Francisca said. "And stop trying to copy others." she said flying right at Ikari Gozen.
"You will fall here." Ikari Gozen said, taking her sword and attempting to cut her down.
"I don't think so. Now!" she said as her wings flapped, sending slashes of air right at Ikari Gozen. Ikari Gozen attempted to block only for her sword to be sliced. "These blades of air are not of the material...but of the supernatural." she said as the Akuma flew out and was quickly caught and purified.
"Wow. Far out." David said as Francisca soon reverted.
"She's really gotten stronger." Hope said. "Not a lot of people can pull off a Double Burst. You have yourself one hell of a pupil."
"You've got that right. Especially since before her, the only person that we saw perform that kind of Burst is Aria." David said.
"True but it does eat up a lot of power." Aria said. "She'll be fine though."
"However, there is still the matter of the Dragon Miraculous. Due to the circumstances of Kagami's transformation, Hawk Moth has been made aware of her identity." Francisca said.
"That's right. Kagami will no longer be given the Dragon Miraculous or any one after this." Zan said. "It's unfortunate but for the best."
"But still, it was nice to see her in action." Flamberge said. "Even if it was just once."
"Yep. And I think this ended up being a good experience for Kagami as well." Galarian Articuno said.
"Yeah...hopefully now...she'll get to make more friends from now on." Zan said. "This was a good Friendship Day."
