"My Lady, look out!"
Chat Noir's warning reached her ears as she swung away from danger just before a stick of dynamite exploded where she'd been seconds ago. Sargent TNT was the latest Akumatized victim, but unlike the others he had some sort of clock running on him, and his attacks weren't meant to capture, they were meant to kill.
"This is like a bad remix video of an AC/DC song," Rin commented as she watched the Akumatized victim from a distance.
The timer had been at 1:45:16 when Ladybug and Chat Noir showed up, now the timer was down to 5:07 and he seemed to be getting very desperate, but the worst part was wherever the akuma was hiding, it was well hidden. The only thing that seemed out of place or unusual was the actual timer on countdown its self. Above the numbers were five bulbs, four of which were bright red, the last one was a dim crimson, until it wasn't. 'He's going to blow up,' Rin realized.
"Get back! Everyone clear the streets now," Ladybug hollered to the civilians.
"No News Crews, no photos! Run! He is a bomb," Chat Noir echoed.
Suddenly there was a mad scramble while Sargent TNT cackled in a maniacal laugh, a purple mask outlined appeared on his face.
"Ladybug, Chat Noir, you have made this happen. Each time you refuse to hand over your miraculouses from now on, I will kill a Parisian. As an example, watch as this single father succomes to his own power," Hawk Moth's voice emitted from Sargent TNT.
Rin scowled as she took a power stance, her legs shoulder width apart as she called out, "Bakudo four, Hainawa!"
A yellow rope of energy encircled Sargant TNT.
"-Carriage of Thunder, Bridge of a spinning wheel, with light divide this into six, Bakudo sixty-one, Rikujokoro!"
Chat Noir watched as the yellow rope became six beams of light, the timer seemed to have stopped.
"Impossible!" A woman's voice exclaimed.
"Improbable, anything is possible," Rin corrected as she turned to face the new voice only to be met with what appeared to be a miraculous wielder. She wore what appeared to be a blue evening dress with a split on the right upper thigh down that seemed to widen as it reached the the ground, the ending of the skirt resembled a peacock's tail, the woman had a blue mask on her face, her hair was up in a bun. In her left hand she held a peacock patterned fan, in the left what looked like a quill.
"No more evil doing for you, little Akuma," Ladybug stated as she caught the akuma in the butterfly net and then opened her yo-yo, a white butterfly fluttered away.
"Bye bye little butterfly," she called to it before throwing the polk-a-dot wire cutters up into the air, "Miraculous Ladybug!"
The woman dressed in blue peacock attire threw the quill at Rin.
Rin caught the quill in her hand without injury and eyed the woman.
"You're not a normal human," the woman observed.
"Well aren't you just Einstein? I have a friend back home who'd die laughing at your outfit. I mean really, did you have to kill a few peacocks to get that many feathers?"
"ACHOO!"
Ladybug looked to Chat Noir, but already knew his feather allergy was acting up.
This revelation however made the peacock woman erupt in a diabolical laugh, "Oh dear! Poor little pussy cat… I guess you're not catching any poultry for your dinner. You must starve in the streets of Paris."
"Hey! I hab a home to go do," Chat Noir replied.
'Wow that allergy's bad, he sounds like a stuffed up elephant,' Rin thought to herself, but kept her eyes on the woman.
"Quills, grow!"
Rin let go of the Quill as it began to glow, transforming into a short sword.
She glanced up to see the woman had another short sword in her hand.
"It's quite simple, since I already know your powers… I can either use my Quills as daggers, or I can transform them into swords… and that's without penalty to my miraculous," The woman voiced.
Rin narrowed her eyes and heard Ladybug's earrings beginning to beep.
"Get going, I'll help Rin," Chat Noir stated to Ladybug.
"Alright, I'll be back," Ladybug agreed, wrapping her yo-yo around a chimney and swinging away from sight.
Rin watched as several quills seemed to appear around the Peacock and then shoot out in various directions.
Rin thrusted her hands forward, "Hado fifty-seven, Daichi Tenyo!"
She then lowered her hands as the quills landed harmlessly on the ground.
"You were right to say that I'm not quite human, but I won't reveal exactly what I am to you. Why don't you go ask your boss, Hawkmoth? He might have an idea of what I am," Rin suggested with a cat like smirk.
At this the woman gave an amused laugh, "Oh darling girl, you have it reversed. Hawk moth isn't my boss… I'm his boss."
