At Collège Françoise Dupont, today was Valentine's Day and Ms. Bustier was teaching Literature class. She asked why most fairytales had the prince break the spell by kissing the princess and Rose answered that it was because that only love can conquer hate. She was right. In many tales, love was the strongest thing. I mean, look at me. My flame isn't just fueled by rage, it's also fueled by love like the love I have for Ali. This goes with The Eternal Flame, an example of how powerful love is. Though it wasn't long until Max started putting his logic into it. I was glad that Ms. Bustier stopped him before he ended the class period. I wrote down the notes and, while I did so, Marinette started looking to Frost as he wrote something in his notebook.
"Frost, I hope what you're writing has to do with my lesson." Ms. Bustier said and Frost gasped and then closed his notebook. Ms. Bustier approached him and asked "Can you tell me what I just said?"
"That's why in most fairy tales the prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess because only love conquers hate." Frost said.
"Very good, Frost!" Ms. Bustier said then the bell rang. "Now, everyone, don't forget to finish Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault tonight, and happy Valentine's Day, students!"
"Hey, go ahead, I'll meet you outside." Marinette said to Alya and she left while Marinette stayed behind to see what Frost was up to.
Marinette managed to sneak over and look over Frost's shoulder as he continued to write in his notebook before Frost tore out the page, crumpled it up, stood up, and tossed the page in the garbage can. He then left while Marinette became curious of what he wrote.
In the hallway, Frost saw Adrien and then got something out of his bag.
"Hey, Adrien." Frost said as he caught up to him.
"Hey, Frost. What's up?" Adrien said to him.
"I got a favor to ask."
"Ask away."
"Would you sign this, please?" Frost said as he put out a poster of Adrien.
"Oh, come on. Didn't Chloé tell you I hate signing autographs?" Adrien sighed.
"Please, I'm begging you." Frost said. "It's for a friend back home. I promised her I get her poster signed by you. Please?" Frost then gave him the puppy eyes.
Then Adrien sighed and said "Fine." He begrudgingly signed the poster. "There."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Frost said as he rolled up the poster and gave Adrien a tight hug. He then broke it and started heading out, but stopped when he noticed Marinette, who was digging through a trash can as she pulled out a sheet of paper.
"Marinette, what are you doing?" Frost asked as Marinette looked at him.
"Oh, uh, just getting an assignment I accidentally threw in here." She said and laughed nervously.
Frost gave her a confused look and said "Okay." he then started walking off.
"That was close." Marinette said after Frost left.
"What is that?" Tikki asked as she came out of hiding and saw the paper in Marinette's hand.
"I don't know. Frost threw it away." Marinette answered. She then un-crumbled it and began to read it. "'Your hair is as bright as the golden sun, your amazing sky blue eyes, I think needs to advice. Every day we see each other and I hope that you'll be mine, together our love could be so true, please, will you be my Valentine?'"
"Whoa! Now that's a love poem!" Tikki said, amazed that Frost wrote that.
"Who could he be talking about?" Marinette said. "Hair as bright as the sun, sky blue eyes? Wait." She then pieced it all together and got who Frost was talking about. "No way."
"What?" Tikki asked. "What is it?"
"I know who Frost wrote this for." Marinette answered. "It's for…Chloé!"
Outside of Collège Françoise Dupont, Chloé was walking away from the College with Sabrina, Frost following behind without their notice.
Back at the classroom, Marinette ran out of the classroom, saying "I gotta tell Axel!"
Back outside of Collège Françoise Dupont, Marinette ran while holding the letter. She exited the school to tell me what was going on. She found me with Adrien told us what she found out. While we talked, Max was standing on the sidewalk with Kim.
"Operation Valentine's Day is commencing. According to my extensive research and cross-referencing of online shopping sites, this particular jewel," Max said as he revealed a heart box hiding behind his back, "was ranked highest in popularity." He then handed the box in front of Kim's face.
"That's perfect, Max! I better hit a homerun with this one. Love is like baseball, right? You gotta have a strategy or you'll strike out." Kim said. I heard that, turned around, and spotted him and Max's conversation and got suspicious. I then grabbed Marinette and Adrien and dragged them over to the boys. "But if you aim right you'll hit it out of the ball park. Score!"
"Oh, yes, Kim, lovely metaphor." Max said to him.
"Meta-who?" Kim asked as he eyed the gem inside the box.
"Whoa!" I said as I saw the gem. "That looks amazing. Who's it for?"
"That, my fellow genius, has been determined." Max said. "The recipient of this gem is…"
"Shh! Keep it on the down-low!" Kim said as he grabbed Max and cut him off.
"Who's the lucky lady?" Adrien asked.
"It's gorgeous, Kim. She's gonna be ecstatic!" Marinette said and I had to agree with her. I can't see any way a girl wouldn't be amazed by that.
"Technically she's still gotta accept it." Kim said as he rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably. He then grabbed Max and said "What if she says 'no'!?"
"She won't, Kim, no way!" I said as I gave him a fist bump. "Don't hold back, Kim. Go for it, no regrets!"
"Operation Valentine's Day is underway!" Kim said as he high-fived Max.
"Her route is highlighted here in yellow, yours in red. If you run at ten miles per hour you're going to gain a four and a half minute advance on her. Halt and wait here facing northwest, the third most romantic spot in Paris." Max said as Kim jogged in place, holding a map. Me, Adrien, and Marinette gave Kim thumbs up behind Max. "Go, go, go!"
"Thanks, you guys." Kim said as he ran off.
At Pont des Arts, Kim was waiting on the side of a fence until he recognized Chloé's voice and rushed forward.
"And that's right, in a 24 karat gold frame. Deliver it to Le Grand Paris Hotel and bill it to Daddykins, uh, I mean, Mr. Bourgeois." Chloé said on the phone. She then hung up.
"Chloé!" Kim heard Frost voice when wasn't close enough to be seen and hid in a bush as he watched Frost run up to her.
"Hey, Frost. What are you doing here?" Chloé asked.
"I just came here to give you something." Frost said as he got the poster out and showed it was signed. "Happy Valentine's Day." Kim gasped, wondering how he got Adrien to sign it.
"You got me a signed poster of Adrien by Adrien?" Chloé said, amazed by it. She then took it and rolled it up.
"It was the least I can do." Frost said with flushed cheeks. "I also want to ask you something."
"Yes?" Chloé asked. Kim's eyes widen for he knew what was happening and couldn't believe it.
"Will you be my Valentine?" Frost asked.
Chloé thought about it for a moment. She then handed the poster to Sabrina, looked at Frost with tearful eyes and a smile, and yelled "Yes!" she then ran towards and grabbed him in a tight hug. "Of course, I will!"
Kim then felt his inner rage grow as he watched in shock.
"I love you, Frost." Chloé said with her cheeks flushed.
"I love you too." Frost said.
They then closed their eyes and began to close the distance between each other. Kim hope it wouldn't happen that Chloé would change her mind. Just when Kim thought Chloé would pull away, hers and Frost's lips met in a wonderful kiss and everything around them became bliss.
"Aww!" Sabrina said, being happy for Frost and Chloé.
Though she was happy, Kim was now glaring at them with rage and tears in his eyes. His anger was focused on Frost. Kim's jealousy over Frost for swooning Chloé had become a deep hatred. His heart was broken and was beginning to harden. He ran away in a mixture of rage and sadness, not wanting to see any more of it. When he was far away enough to where Frost, Chloé, and Sabrina couldn't find him. Seeing that, he then left his tears drop like how he dropped the brooch and began to sob.
In Hawkmoth's lair, Hawkmoth's window began to open.
"Ah, Valentine's Day, the day of love and the day of fools. So many delusions, so much disappointment." He said. He then turned a butterfly into an akuma. The akuma flew out into Paris. "Akuma Dargon."
Chronicles of Kaze: Chapter 5
I then woke up and said "Yes, master?"
"Looks like you are going to have such a field day." He said as the akuma then flew towards me. "There is a boy whose heart had been broken. Take this akuma and evilize him!"
"Time to change this Valentine into a villain-tine." I said after I absorbed the akuma. I then my Shadow Path to head into Paris.
In Paris, the jock Kim continued to sob. Unknown to him, I appeared on the scene. I then changed back into my normal self and said "Broken hearted, huh?"
Kim looked up and saw me standing there.
"I wasn't crying." Kim said as he got up and wiped his eyes. "I just had something in my eye."
"It's okay." I said as I saw the brooch and picked it up. "You know you don't deserve this."
"You're right." Kim said. "It's all Frost's fault."
"You deserve to find love, not that Frost Murphy." I said. "Don't you think he should feel your pain? To see what is like to be heartbroken."
"Yes." Kim said still angry at Frost.
"Then let me help you." I asked as I then induced the brooch with akuma energy and gave it to him. "Show him who he's messing with." Then Kim grabbed the brooch and gave a look of rage. "Dark Cupid, I am Akuma Dargon. I can give you the power to shoot your arrows, pierce love and impale friendship. But there is something you must do for me in return."
"No love affair or friendship will escape my fury. No one will ever love again!" Kim said as the akuma energy transformed into a villain with a black and red suit, black wings, and a bow and arrow filled with hatred.
"Then go, my agent of hatred." I said as I then transformed into Akuma Dargon. "Go and destroy all the love in Paris!"
Then Dark Cupid flew off and began shooting arrows at lovers whose lips turned black once hit and ran away from their loved ones. One man smashed bouquet of flowers into wall and one pulled his hand away from a woman he was with.
"Hahahahahaha!" Dark Cupid laughed.
"Hahaha! Perfect. It won't be long before the Element Gang show up to meet their doom!" I evilly laughed as I watched my creation spread hatred across Paris.
At Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie, Alya, Marinette, Adrien, me, and I went in and Tom gave us candy apples.
"Candy apples?" Tom asked.
"Thanks, papa." Marinette said as we all took the candy apples. We then left the bakery and went to the park.
In the park, we saw something we never thought we see: Frost with lipstick all over his face. He was panting after he ran over to us.
"Whoa! Cuz, what happened to you?" I asked him.
"My gift… It flipped Chloé's switch." Frost said. I then saw Chloé grab onto his arm and began pulling him.
"We're not done yet, Frost." She said as she managed to full pull him over to her and started kissing him even more.
"She is like a panther." Frost said as he managed to get out of her grip. Then Chloé got him. "Whoa!"
"Come here, my handsome icicle." She said as she repeated the same thing and kissed him even more.
"Now there's something you don't see every day." I said.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but they make a cute couple." Marinette said.
"What in the world is that?!" Alya said as she saw Dark Cupid in the sky. We all then looked up into the sky and saw Dark Cupid.
"Huh?" Dark Cupid said as he saw the candy apple Alya was holding. "All hearts must be destroyed!" he then shot arrows at the candy apples and shot one at Alya, making her lips turn black.
"Alya, are you okay?" I asked her. She then stuck the candy apple on my shirt. "What? Hey!"
"You're not my BFF, you're a joke! You and you're girlfriend!" Alya said as she ran away, cackling.
"What the…?" I said as I couldn't believe what Alya just said.
"What did he do to her?" Basar asked.
I looked at Dark Cupid and then saw the brooch. It looked familiar. That's when I found out how and who the villain above us was.
"Hey, that's Kim's pin!" I said as I then pulled the candy apple off my shirt.
"Wait, that's Kim?" Jay asked.
"He's been evilized!" Adrien said.
"This is…not…good!" Marinette said.
"Run for it!" Frost said as he and Chloé began to run with Sabrina following behind.
"Hold on! You're not getting away that easily." Dark Cupid said as he flew after Frost and Chloé.
"Come on, we need to go after him." I said and then we found a place to transform.
"Nooroo, let's fly!"
"Tikki, spots on!"
"Plagg, claws out!"
Me, Marinette, and Adrien then transformed into El Dragon, Ladybug, and Cat Noir. Then the others followed our lead. We then left the park and head for the rooftops. From there, we managed to find Dark Cupid and began to follow him.
Outside Le Grand Paris, Frost, Chloé, and Sabrina stopped running to catch their breath.
"I think we lost him." Frost said.
"Think again!" Dark Cupid said as he appeared above them. Frost, Chloé, and Sabrina then gasped as Dark Cupid got ready to shoot arrows at them, but Ladybug used her yo-yo to stop him, making him miss. Me and the gang then appeared right in front of him.
"Element Gang!" Dark Cupid said as he saw us.
"Stop, Kim!" I said to him.
"I'm not Kim, I'm Dark Cupid!" Dark Cupid said. "I'll never stop! If I can't have love, then no one can!"
"Okay, Dark Cupid, I get it." I said. "You were heart broken. But that doesn't mean you have to take it out on all of Paris!"
"Oh, yes, I do! I won't stop until everyone's heart is crushed. Say adios to your loved ones. From now on, you'll hate them!" Dark Cupid said as he shot arrows at us, but we dodged them.
"If you want to continue destroying love, bring me their Miraculous or I'll remove your powers!" Akuma Dargon said as he appeared on the scene.
"You might want to run." I said to Frost, Chloé, and Sabrina. Then they all ran off to somewhere safe.
Ladybug yelled as Akuma Dargon grabbed her by using his metal bending powers to enlarge his hand.
"Dark Cupid, use one of your arrows on Ladybug!" he said as he lift Ladybug up to them.
Dark Cupid shot his arrow, but Cat jumped in the way and got hit with the arrow instead.
"Cat Noir!" Ladybug said as Cat then fell to the ground.
Then I jumped up and bit Akuma Dargon's arm. He roared in pain as he then let go of Ladybug. Ladybug landed safely on the ground and headed toward Cat.
"Cat, are you okay? Speak to me." Ladybug said as she held up his head.
"Ladybug, I—I loathe you!" Cat yelled as his lips turned black.
"Cat Noir, snap out of it!" Ladybug said.
"You're nothing, Ladybug, and nothing to me! I hate you!" Cat said as he squeezed Ladybug incredibly close to him as if he was trying to suffocate her.
I then smacked him in the head and made him lose his grip.
"Element Gang, fall back! We need to regroup!" I said.
"What about Cat Noir?" Ladybug said.
"We can help him if we're all hit with those arrows. Come on!" I said.
Ladybug looked back at Cat with a sad look then looked away and we all ran to find cover.
On the walls of Le Grand Paris, Cat met up with me and Dark Cupid.
"We can help you crush Ladybug, but you must give us her and El Dragon's Miraculous in return."
"No…problem." Cat said as he got ready to fight.
Yes. And once we have Ladybug and El Dragon's Miraculous, taking Cat Noir's will be child's play. I said to Dark Cupid telepathically.
On a roof far from Le Grand Paris, me and the gang tried to figure out a plan to stop Dark Cupid.
"I can't believe I lost Adrien." Ladybug said as she sobbed a bit.
"Don't worry, Marinette. We'll get him back." I said to her. "All we need to do is grab that pin. That's where the akuma is."
"How did Kim get evilized anyway?" Apolloid asked.
"My guess would be having a vengeful heart against Frost." I said.
"What makes you say that?" Posidacus asked.
"My guess is that Chloé was the girl Kim was gonna give that pin to." I answered. "He must've waiting to give Chloé his valentine gift to her, but when he saw Frost make her his Valentine, Kim must've gotten a mixture of jealousy and hatred and now he's spreading it to everyone."
"Really? 3 times?" Torna said. "Okay, that guy's an akuma magnet."
"Well, since his anger is focused on Frost, we now know where he's going. Come on!" I said.
Then Ladybug recollected herself and we went off to find Dark Cupid. We managed to find him and were about to attack, but Cat got in our way.
"Well, well, the Element Gang." Cat said as he got his staff out.
"We'll handle Dark Cupid, you take on your Cat." I said to Ladybug.
"Okay." Ladybug said as me and the rest of the gang went to stop Dark Cupid.
We were about to attack him, but Akuma Dargon got in our way. We then had an epic battle, where Akuma Dargon seemed to be hard to beat.
Back with Ladybug, she and Cat got ready to fight.
"Looks like it's just you and me." Cat said to her.
"I don't want to fight you, Cat Noir." Ladybug said.
"Ugh, that friendliness. It's so revolting. You are definitely not my friend!" Cat said as he leaped into the air and swung his staff directly at Ladybug.
She dodged it and jumped up onto another roof to run away. Cat pursued her on the roof. Ladybug used her yoyo to grab Cat's staff and pulled him toward her.
"Why are you so full of hate, Cat Noir?" Ladybug asked.
"Because hate conquers all!" Cat answered.
"I hate to burst your bubble, but hate doesn't conquer all. Love does!" Ladybug said and then she gasped and realized what Ms. Bustier said about the prince breaking the spell by kissing the princess and Rose saying how love can conquer hate. She then smiled as she found a way to get her Cat back.
"You're just buying time! Fight!" Cat said as he got back up.
"I'll do better than that." Ladybug said with a smug look on her face.
"Huh?" Cat said in confusion for he didn't know what she meant.
"Come on, kitty, kitty, just a peck…" Ladybug said as she puckered her lips and tried to kiss him, but Cat backed away and dodged it. "Almost!"
"Get back, you savage!" Cat said as he began to run away.
"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty! Come here!" Ladybug said as she chased him.
Akuma Dargon had me at his grip and was about to punch me, but I saw Cat running away from Ladybug and knew what to do.
"Uh, before you destroy me, look over there." I said as I pointed towards Cat and Ladybug.
"Huh?" Akuma Dargon said as he then turned around and saw what was happening. "Hey! Come back here, you scaredy cat! Oh, if you want something done, you're gonna have to do it yourself."
He then left and was going after them. We then followed him.
In the street, Frost, Chloé, and Sabrina ran away from Dark Cupid.
"You can't outrun me!" Dark Cupid laughed as he chased them.
"Help!" Chloé yelled after she tripped over a flower stand and fell near several civilians. The civilians saw Dark Cupid and ran away.
"Chloé!" Frost said as he ran over to her and helped her up.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Frost. Now you'll feel my pain." Dark Cupid said as he got an arrow ready and aimed at Chloé.
He shot the arrow and it headed towards Chloé, but Sabrina ran in front of her and got hit.
"Sabrina!" Chloé said.
"I've heard of taking a bullet, but this is ridiculous." Frost said before speaking to Sabrina with concern. "Are you okay?"
"Oh, I'm good…now that I don't have you two around." Sabrina said as she turned around, her lips now black, and pushed Frost down on the ground. "Let's how great you'll feel after I'm done with the poster." She then ran away with the poster in her hand. Frost then got himself and Chloé up.
"Sabrina, get back here!" Frost said as he and Chloé went after her.
In the street, Cat was still being chased by Ladybug. Ladybug caught Cat's leg with her yo-yo and tied him to a lamppost. She then suspended herself from the top of the lamppost and leaned in to kiss him.
"No, no!" Cat said.
"Time to pucker up!" Ladybug said as she tried to kiss him, but missed. "Oh, come on!"
She tried to kiss him again, but an arrow appeared between them, shot by Dark Cupid. She also saw Akuma Dargon with him Ladybug avoided the arrows and fire blast. Then Cat got free and joined the two villains. Ladybug then hid behind a tree.
"How you gonna fight all three of us now, bug eyes?" Cat said as he activated his Cataclysm. "Cataclysm! I've often wondered what would happen if I use my Cataclysm on someone…"
We managed to get there and saw Cat was using his powers. I then chipped off a piece of the roof, grabbed it, headed down there, grabbed Cat's hand, and made him touch the stone, destroying it and wasting his powers. I then let go of him and backed away when he hissed and tried to scratch me.
"Ladybug, hurry!" I said as the rest of the gang showed up and all six of us got ready to fight. "We won't be able to hold them back for long!"
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug said as she used her powers which gave her a candy apple. "A candy apple? What am I supposed to do with this? Think, Ladybug…" She then looked around and spotted the fountain and Dark Cupid's brooch. "Hey! I've got a Valentine's gift for you!"
We managed to knock Akuma Dargon into a wall and knock him out, but Cat and Dark Cupid got passed us and then got ready to attack Ladybug. Dark Cupid shot arrows at her, but she deflected them with her yo-yo. Cat was about to scratch her, but she avoided it and grabbed him by his belt. She jumped on him and threw the candy apple at Dark Cupid's head and he then removed it.
"Looks like you got yourself in a sticky situation!" Ladybug said.
Then Dark Cupid got the candy apple out of his hand and tried to shoot an arrow at her, but his hand got stuck in the bow. This was her plan: to use the candy coating from the apple to stick Dark Cupid's hand to the bow, making him unable to shoot anymore arrows.
"Ladybug!" he yelled.
"And now, for my pussycat!" Ladybug said as she faced Cat.
When the two fought, Cat managed to tackle her and pin her to the ground.
"Cat Noir, her Miraculous!" Dark Cupid said as he then went to the fountain and washed the melted candy off his hand and bow string.
"With pleasure! I think it's time to show people who you really are, Ladybug!" Cat said as he reached for her Miraculous. "Your little secret will be out of the bag!" Before he could even touch her, Ladybug grabbed his face and kissed him, breaking the spell. They broke the kiss and Ladybug watched happily as Cat's lips turned back to normal. "Huh? What am I doing here?"
They both get up and Ladybug hugs him, where Cat then happily returned it. Dark Cupid turned around and growled as he saw it. He then got ready to shoot them, not knowing that ShockBlade was sneaking up behind him.
"I'll take that." ShockBlade said as she took the brooch off Dark Cupid. "El Dragon, catch!"
"No!" Dark Cupid said as she then tossed it to me.
"Thanks!" I said as I caught it. I then dropped it and stomped the pin, releasing its akuma. "Here's your heartbreak, akuma." I then put my staff in capture mode. "Time to de-evilize!" I then caught the akuma. "Gotcha!" I then released it as a purified butterfly. "Goodbye, little guy."
"Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug said as she tossed the candy apple into the air.
It exploded into a blast of energy. Its energy repaired all the damage and turned everything back to normal. It even turned everyone back to normal.
Somewhere else Alya was about to she almost cut a picture of her, me, Ali, and the team, leaving it only her, until the energy came over and returned her to normal.
"What the heck am I doing?" Alya asked herself in confusion as she looked to see the picture and a pair of scissors in her hands.
Somewhere in a building, Frost and Chloé entered a room where Sabrina was drawing on the poster with a red mark.
"Sabrina!" Frost said as he and Chloé looked at Sabrina in shock and the energy returned her to normal.
"What the heck am I doing?!" Sabrina said as she backed away after seeing she defaced the poster, making Adrien look like a devil.
"I'm sorry about your poster, Chloé." Frost said as he looked with shame at her.
"Don't worry. Besides I have something even better." Chloé said as she rose his head.
"Really? What?" Frost asked.
"You, dummy!" She said.
"Oh, my goodness!" Frost said as Chloé then pounced him, got him on the floor, and started kissing him.
Then the akuma energy turned Dark Cupid back into Kim.
"Huh?" Kim said as he tried to recollect what happened.
"Pound it!" Me, Ladybug, and Cat said as we pounded for another victory.
"Well that was a heartbreak fail." Akuma Dargon said as he woke up, flipped over, turned into a shadow, and left.
"It's so good to have you back, Cat Noir." Ladybug said as she hugged him and Cat hugged her back. Then they heard their Miraculous beep at the same time.
"Let's bounce before you turn into pumpkins." I said and we all left.
After I returned to Goussainville, I went to my room and transformed back into my normal self.
"Drrr…blasted Element Gang! Blasted Valentine's Day!" I growled.
Well, that was one crazy Valentine's Day. At least me and the team got to have the best of the day after dealing those villains and even more of our best days to come. I told Kim that there was no reason to look so glum and that he'll find love someday. One that truly love him for he is. So Frost ended up getting Chloé as his girlfriend and I helped Kim get over his heartbreak. After that, he did find true love and ended up dating Summer Sunderguard, who moved to Paris a week ago. Though that's gonna get hard to get used to due to her looking similar to Frost. So to all of you, Happy Valentine's Day!
