Part #3. Hopes for forgiving. Bend over. Shocking news. Overakuma. Sudden appearance.
"My greetings, Voice of Truth…"
"No. You won't take control against me. You won't take control over me."
"…Nobody didn't understand you even your son." She didn't pay attention on his mumbling. "You always lied everybody, even your son. You want to protect him but you are afraid that he will reject you if he will find out that you were Hawk Moth. Only genuine confession will make Parisians and especially your son forgive you. You can do it Gabriel. Do it for Emilie and your son…" Her sweet voice lulled him and then he said, "I will do it for you, Emilie and Adrien. You both always hated liars so I'm gonna confessing to everybody. For you, Emilie. For you Adrien." He whispered final words with tears in his throat.
"Voice of Truth, I give you ability to make people believe whatever you said if it is truth and follow to you. Also you can sense if people are telling truth or they are telling you lie. But if you will lie you will lose your wife like if she was touched by Timebreaker. Instead of you will bring me Miraculous of every member of Miraculous five." Copier said with smug grin.
"As you wish, Copier. This is for you, Emilie and Adrien."
"Huh, I thought that it's gonna be harder. I thought that Gabriel is a tough cookie. But he is looked like liquid jelly. And he was the person who was my fashion idol for years? I'm disappointed. I'm very strong disappointed in you, Gabrielle Agreste. Maybe you will get some points of my karma when you will do your confession and will bring me Miraculous. I will show whole world that there is only I can make rules. I will show you that entire Ladybug is always in first line when she is fighting with her enemies. But at first, my new home…" Copier talked to herself aloud. Then she landed on the observation deck of Eiffel Tower and noticed glances from tourists and Parisians.
"Ladybug, what are you doing here? Is there is something wrong?" Officer asked.
"Can you clear observation deck from people? Because it could be too dangerous here in the coming hours." She tried to use Ladybug's careful tone and it seems to her that it worked well and officer believed her.
Observation deck was clear now. There was only she. Alone. She breathed happily in Gustav Eiffel cabinet and then transformed into Evillustrator.
"It is time to equip this place as my wishes…" She said dreamily.
Meanwhile in Francoise-Dupont school.
When they came back in dining room without Marinette they felt bad.
When they looked at their faces anxiety was replaced by fear.
When they started telling that Marinette had been akumatized all girls in their class started crying. Except Lila.
She only snorted when she heard about it. "She deserved it nothing more. She should tell thank you to Hawk Moth for this present. And I told you all this time that that girl brings only misfortunes and you didn't bel…"
Lila didn't finished her phrase because she received some slaps from Adrien, Nino, Alya and Chloe.
"Can you tell us at least one reason why we didn't kill you yet?"
Lila looked in their eyes and understood that she really bended over. If they will not kill her they will do to her so much damage as they can. And nothing and nobody will stop them.
"Because I should apologize against Marinette."
"It's correct answer. You know? I can't raise my hand against women. But you're… you're…"
"Adrien, calm down! It wouldn't help in returning Marinette!" Nino and Kim hung on his shoulders.
"I know… But she hurt Marinette. MY MARINETTE!" He shouted very loud. Then he turned back to Lila. "And I can't forgive you. You will be never forgiven."
Then he turned back to his classmates who watched at his expression with surprise looks on their faces. He sighed. "I know that it is not right but couldn't you bring here some ropes to bind her to make sure that she will not run away?"
"Here is, Adrien." Rose and Juleka said in unison. "We wanted to do very big bauble today," Rose explained, "but you see how all this turn."
"Alix, Kim, can you bind her to the chair? I know that you are professionals in this after all your competitions."
"Sure." They said and approached to Lila without any pleasure.
"Wait, you are serious? Please, don't do it! Please!
"Kept your eyes on her. Guys, I think that we need have conversation now without overhearing." Adrien turned to Alya, Chloe and Nino.
"Yeah, sure." They nodded
The reason was simple: they felt that their kwamies wants to tell them something.
They went out the door, closed it, turned around and froze. There was standing Master Fu.
"Well, I see that you know each other identity… I'm not upset about it: it should be happen someday. Wait, where is Ladybug?"
"She," Adrien swallowed hardly, "she had been akumatized, Master."
Master Fu froze for a moment. Then he sighed and muttered, "Well, it explains a lot of things…"
"What are you telling about, Master?"
"Not here. Let's go to the empty class."
He opened their lab class missed them ahead. Then he checked that anybody followed them and closed the door.
"Master, what happened except Marinette's akumatization?" Teens were still in perplexity.
"Okay. Some news are good and some news are bad especially for Adrien. Adrien, please, sit down on the chair."
"What good news are?"
"Let me introduce to you Nooroo, the kwami of…"
"NOOROO!" Five voices shouted in unison and five flashes of light glimpsed and then they found that Nooroo was buried under five bodies of other kwami.
"… of Butterfly." Master Fu finished his sentence. Then he glanced to Adrien. " It was wise choice to take Ladybug's Miraculuos along."
"It seemed to me that it is not good idea to leave it in her house." He answered simply.
"Wait, if Nooroo is here and he is kwami of Butterfly it means that…" They realized what really happened.
"Yes, Hawk Moth is gone." Master Fu confirmed. "But it leads us to bad news. Nino, young ladies, can you lay your arms on Adrien's shoulders now?"
"Um… Yes." They were alert in anticipation of really bad news.
"At first, Hawk Moth had been akumatized. I see that you know something about it. Tell me please how this could be happened."
"I saw how she created akuma, Master." Tikki said. "And I heard that it intended to Hawk Moth."
"And we saw how it flew away from her room. At first we thought that Marinette resisted to it but after Tikki's story we understood how wrong we were."
"Akuma created akuma? It is something new." Now Fu looked perplexity.
"Excuse me, Master?" Nooroo voiced. "Hawk Moth couldn't control the last akuma. It was only one time in history before today."
"Do you mean Overakuma? Five thousand years ago?" Old man looked shocked.
"Now excuse me." Alya intervened in conversation. "Five thousand years ago there was another Hawk Moth? And he was based in Ancient Egypt?"
"Yes. You are right, Alya. Five thousand years ago there was an attempt to call the Queen Nefertiti from underworld. Pharaoh of this time was overakuma. Overakumas are appearing when the target is radiate so strong emotions that they could feel on very big distance. This happened with Pharaoh. Then Ladybug won only with the help of tricks."
"She dressed in the mummy and turned on her clumsiness." Tikki said with a smile while she reminded those events.
"As…" Alya began but caught warning glance from Nino who glanced then on Adrien. She understood him and nodded.
"But now there is no Ladybug and we should rid her." Adrien said and his voice was full of determination.
"Overakuma is opponent that can destroy everything. You are lucky that it hiding in her you have a chance to capture it."
"Wait, Master. You said 'at first'. Is there is 'at second'?" Nino asked.
"Yes." Old man sighed hardly. "Adrien, Hawk Moth is your father, Gabriel Agreste."
"So, M'Lady was right then." Adrien muttered and fell in fainting.
"What is happened with him?" Master looked worried.
"He revealed and relived too much events today." Chloe answered. "We can return him back if you will help me find ammonia."
"It seems that you listened to teachers." Nino smirked.
"I love chemistry, that's all."
"Here it is." Alya opened the bottle and brought it to Adrien's nose.
He sneezed and then groaned, "Alya, put away from me this bottle! It's worse than Plagg's cheese!"
"Oh, thank you for compliment, kid." Then Plagg alerted. "Hide!"
Then teens heard trample of many feet. Then four realized that Master Fu disappeared. Then door opened.
"Thanks God, you are save all!" Their classmates shouted with relief. Then they noticed Adrien who was lying on the floor. "Adrien, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. What happened with you all? And where are Kim, Max, Nath and Lila?"
"Well…" His classmates began rubbing their necks.
"It is better to know truth now than to suffer from it afterwards. What happened?"
"Marinette was there. And... She kidnapped Lila."
