day 5: "friends in very unexpected places"
This akuma was large. Not the 'oh that's a pretty big dude' large. More like, the 'wow that building touches the clouds, I wonder how high it is' large. At first, Marinette wasn't that concerned about it. Big equals slow, and slow equals ease of maneuverability.
However, this big was big and fast.
"Chat! Over he-" Ladybug was cut off, and thrown through the windows of Collège Françoise Dupont. She landed with a thud, her body skidding across the floor and into a wall containing exclusively urinals.
"Oh hey, Ladybug." Nino has just finished zipping his pants back up when he turned and faced her.
Mari blinked. This was the last place she expected to be. She was half through a wall and half in a urinal. Water was pooling on the floor and yet Nino stood in front of her, as cool as a cucumber.
"Hey Nino," she groaned, raising herself out of the wall.
"How has your day been?" he asked.
Ladybug served up a look. How did he manage to be so oblivious of the massive akuma outside? "I'm not the greatest right now. Chat and I are getting out asses kicked out there."
Nino nodded in understanding.
Ladybug looked at him expectantly. "Now would be a good time to, you know, suit up."
Nino turned and faced the window she had just came through. "Huh." He peered out of it, his hand over his head protecting his eyes from the bright mid-day sun.
Ladybug joined him at the window. "Whenever you feel like it, Nino." She jumped out, propelling down the street using her yo-yo.
"Oh. Right! Wayzz! Shell On!"
With a flash of bright green light, Nino transformed into Carapace and followed Ladybug out of the window.
