Part #5. It is hard to lie near with lie detector. Confession turned in another way. Hidden hints.
Meanwhile in helicopter, near with Notre-Dame de Paris.
"Good afternoon Parisians, you can hear Nadja Chamack now and we're leading special report to you. You can see an old villain Volpina who is taking… What the hell? If it is a girl who was Volpina who is this Volpina now? It seems very strange. We have already called to Miraculuos Five and they will arrive here soon. Now we're gonna fly to Eiffel Tower to see the future action. One member of MF told that there could be an akuma attack do we're gonna see the action. Don't turn off your screens! See all live events in the special report. We will come back live after short advertisement. See ya!"
Meanwhile in Eiffel Tower, Gustav Eiffel's cabinet.
Copier delete TV screen which she draw five minutes ago. Then she looked at Lila who watched all this action with undisguised fear. Now she saw the consequences of her actions very clearly.
"Are you enjoy it, huh? Do you like my show?" She asked mockingly. Now Copier was in form of Rogercop.
"Well, to be honest I'm excited a little bit for your level of cunning…"
"It's lie." Suddenly men's voice appeared.
"Who is there?" Lila bounced with the chair.
"Oh, how could I forget?" Copier said with curled lips and transformed into Nightingale.
"Ladies and Gentleman please welcome
A man who has lost his only love.
He can easy make you approve
That he is truly Voice of Truth!"
Then she transformed into Princess Fragnance.
"And now I want to listen your truly answer. How you could notice your lies will be found very easy. And if you will still trying to lie me I will made of you one of mine followers… But your level of my follower would be the same as slave. And it's true because you see know that I can make it easy if I will only push this button…"
She made a finger move but Lila yelled on fear, "Stop threat me, please! I will tell you only the truth now."
"It's true."
"Now answer on my question. Do you like my show?"
"No. I don't like it. I didn't want such an outcome. And answer on your second question: I'm envy about your level of cunning."
"It's true."
"Can you show me your friend Voice of Truth, please? It is a little bit scarier if you don't see the third conversator." Lila asked.
"It's true."
"Our little bitch learned how to use courtesy? Well, Gabriel, can you show yourself to our unpleasure guest?"
"As you wish, Copier." He came out from the shadow where he was hidden.
"Gabriel?" Lila asked in he glanced at the men and her eyes grew wide. "Mr. Agreste?!"
The hardest problem was Nathaniel's rescuing. Kim got rid after Chat used his baton to break ceiling. Max got rid after Carapace used his shield to break one of the rods. But how can you rescue the man when you can't see how he is locked? Solve was found by Mylene. She remembered her dad's lessons and played very cool mime.
After that they were asked where Ladybug is. Alya explained it as if Ladybug is very sick and can use her abilities only to de-evilize akuma and curing Paris with her 'Miraculous Ladybug curing'.
Then they listened again the history about Copier's appearance. And noticed one fact which was very scary and didn't noticed by them earlier.
"It seems that she can control all her abilities if she had ever changed? I thought that she can control only her present stance and her previous as it had been when she transformed into Hawk Moth and then in Ladybug because new villain still hadn't appeared. But after what I saw… She had saved ability of previous villains. But it looks like that she can use it only in similar villain form." Rena whispered.
"I hope that it is true." Carapace said.
"I hope that we could return her back without fight. I can't fight with M'Lady." Chat said. "I'm afraid of hurt her accidently and that it wouldn't cured by her Charm."
Queen Bee listened them but didn't make any sound.
"Um… Miraculous team?" They all turned back to see Rose with her tablet. "I think that you need to see this video." She showed them her tablet with opened site of news reports.
"It's a trap." They told it in unison. "It's a visible trap." Chat corrected.
"How did you know about that?" With skepticism Alya asked.
"After all those years around M'Lady and didn't learn nothing? It is the worse criminal that I could make to her."
"So, where's the real trap?" Queen asked.
"It is made in her base."
Suddenly right in front of them the screen which was made in past by Lady Wi-Fi appeared. But it appeared not only in front of them. Many other screens were hanging up in the air and they saw a man, who was wearing a form which was similar with minister's form, his head was covered by hood but one thing was excelled than others: he wore very light white necktie.
"We found the thing where is the second akuma is hiding." "Rena whispered. Then she turned back her attention to the screen exactly on the background. "It seems to me or they're really in Notre-Dame de Paris?"
After five minutes of watching Lila's apologizing Chat said,
"They are not in Notre-Dame de Paris."
"Can you explain?"
"They all don't touching anything."
"Okay, and what about them? Are they illusions?"
"No, they aren't. I noticed one little touch of Lila's hair to Hawk Moth's leg. If she touched Marinette there would be nothing because Creator of illusions can work with it and touch them."
"Okay that's enough, Miss Volpina Rossi. You said all your words truly from your heart. So, since Miraculous Five is not there in Notre-Dame de Paris I guess that they didn't caught in my trap. So, I always have got plan B and plan C. Let's go with plan B. Voice of truth, it's your turn.
Man stood up and went close to the camera. He opened his hood and the face of… Hawk Moth. He looked in the camera and said "Good afternoon, Parisians. Many people know me as Hawk Moth who sent to them akumas to capture Miraculous of Ladybug and Chat Noir. But not a lot of people knows that behind the mask they can find Gabriel Agreste. Listen me please, Parisians, I want to make a confession to all of yours especially for Miraculous Five and… my son."
He began to tell his story. He told how he was lying to his son, his company and to his own that he is doing this to his son. He told that only one person who knew about him was his assistant Nathalie Sancoeur. He told that he is repenting about all things that he ever done to Parisians. Adrien's eyes were full of tears and his companions sniffed. Voice of Truth finished his confession with those words,
"Parisians, I know that I was very bad guy to you all. And I know that it wasn't right to don't ask you about the help. But if you will help me find Miraculous stones I can return my Emilie to my son. Please, help me return my wife by Miraculous stones."
"Yes, Voice of Truth Gabriel." Lot of voices rang out around heroes. They looked around and saw that everybody's eyes were similar as if they were under control of hypnotizer. Then they moved to heroes with words,
"Help Gabriel Agreste return his wife by giving him your Miraculous. Help…"
"Hurry! Go to the roof!" Chat shouted. Carapace nodded and they both threw girls to the ceiling where was a hole which was made by Chat's baton. Then Carapace caught Chat's arm and they arrived to the roof by the baton.
"Guys, look here." Rena Rouge said with very tense tone.
Three other teens turned around and saw two things: Antibug's Anti Charm which was TV screen and Ladybug's Lucky Charm which was a list with some phrases on it.
TV screen turned on and they saw Marinette.
"Good afternoon my dear opponents for business! Oh, and where is Ladybug?" She made upset face but then quickly showed them wide evil smile."Oh, I know! She is there!" And she transformed into Ladybug. "You can don't worry: this conversation is only between us five." She transformed back to Marinette.
"Where are you, Marinette?"
"Do you know how I was tired hear this name whole day long? Marinette, Marinette, Marinette… I'm Copier now! Oh, wait. This is stupid name which was given by a man who hasn't got imagination. I'm… Okay. You can call me Queen Marinette."
"Queen is booked!" Chloe said.
"Well, I will be how my Chat is calling me, Purrincess Marinette." She showed them an illusion of Chat Noir who laid on her knees as if he was domestic and purred
"Dude, if she called you your Chat wedding will be soon." Carapace whispered to Adrien.
"Nah, nah, nah! I will marry only on Adrien. If I will ask him out finally…"
"And what prevents you from doing this?" Chat pulled time as he could while Rena tried to find location of Marinette.
"Well… What I'm doing here? Chat, Re… You will not return control on your body!"
"Marinette! Fight with it! You can…"
"Stop!" Copier interrupted Chat. "I gave you Lucky Charm because I want to give you a chance to beat me. Without that it would be boring. If you will do all from this list I will send you my location where we will have final fight. You have got two hours. And I will look for you in two eyes. And Alya, stop your tries to find me. I've got abilities of Lady Wi-Fi, remember? Goodbye." And she broke the call.
"Do you feel your son?"
"No."
"So, there could be only two options. But I want to save intrigue until the end." Then Copier turned to Lila who had got an illusion of Chat and vacant look. "Well, my little girl, are you ready to changing back into exemplary girl who is not lying?"
"Yes, mistress."
"I think that it is not a trap."
"Are you sure?"
"I think that Marinette tried her best to resist and sometimes akuma lose full control so she can make some hints or control her body for few seconds." Adrien answered. "Let's check the list. We should find a way to safe her. And Nino: one more hint about it and my baton will land on your head. Well, until the end." He warned his friend. He didn't notice that it was the similar situation as if he was Ladybug with her yo-yo and Nino was Chat.
