Author's note: This takes place after Mari and her friends leave Adrien…. So yeah… Sorry if this still confuses you… anyways enjoy! I think this is one of my longest chapters. So yeah…
Ch.7 Political Uprising.
"Hold up, aren't you gonna go back?!" Alya asked in alarm.
"Alya I can't she hates me already… Plagg was right, I fucked up BIG time." The dejected prince simply states.
"Well go make up already! The Akumas need you AND their FUTURE QUEEN!" Alya continued to argue.
"Alya you are really starting to bug me." Adrien puffed. Alya just rolls her eyes at him and just glares at him.
"So what if you fucked up, go apologize and make it up! Go chase her to the ends of the world! For petes sake she is your god damn soulmate!" The crazy phone girl screeches. Her voice leaves behind an echo.
"OMG ADRIKENS!" Adrien had a terrified look, while Alya looked disgusted.
"YOUHOO! ADRIKENS I'm OVER HERE!" the annoying voice continues to pesture the already distraught prince. Finally a blonde girl with her hair up in a ponytail come running up and grabbing the prince's arm, refusing to let go. The prince takes a deep breathe before he confronts the annoying blonde.
"What is it Chloe?" he asked in a tired tone as he has on a fake smile.
"I met some human scum who talked back to me! Can you believe that, I so totally put her in her place!" She proudly stated. Adrien grew alarmed.
"You broke conduct number 44?!" He shrieked at the stupid blonde.
"But Adrikens she started it!" She countered.
"Actually, your highness, I have the whole confrontion on tape." Alya offered.
"Let me see that." Adrien demanded. Chloe looked terrified. And then she had a plan. As Alya got her phone out, Chloe already snatched it out of her hands.
"Ha!" She yelled in triumph. Alya wasn't having it, and so her hair raised up. Her eyes glowed magenta. Her phone, that was in the possession of the snobbish Akuma also seemed to reciprocate that magenta glow, violently shaking in the blonde's grasp.
"Chloe let go of the phone." Adrien demanded cooly.
"How can you not believe me! I'll have you know that it was her who started the fight, not me! It probably doesn't even have my good side. Oh what am I talking about my good side is everything!" She rambles. Adrien was growing tired and snaked his way out of the blonde's grasp.
"Girl, you are so going to regret ever thinking about laying a finger on my phone." Alya mumbled to herself as she raised her hand in the direction of her phone. Suddenly the phone shoots out a magenta-colored shock, and proceeds to shock the blonde.
"BZZBZBZBBZZBBZBZBZBZBBZBZBZBZBB AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH AODOIHSJHFDKGDGKAGDHHDJWGDKDHKDHHDWHDHWK…" And Chloe finally drops the phone. The device emits a purple aura, the same one as Chloe. The charred girl falls to the ground like a fallen tree.
"Did you really have to shock her?" Adrien asked. Alya gave him a look.
"Yes, and lets go before sleeping prick wakes up. We don't want ADRIEKENS TO LEAVE ME!" She mimicks the last part in Chloe's tone. Adrien shivers up and nods as the two fast walked out of there. Leaving the charred girl behind.
Once they were far enough away from her, the two watch the video together. Adrien's blood boils.
"How dare she lie to me like that…" He grumbles lowly.
"I am honestly not surprised by what Chloe did, but Marinette, is a whole other story…" Alya smiles at the last part.
"I don't get why you put up with her crap, you're the fucking prince. You deserve respect, and what she's doing is trying to suck you dick!" Adrien gives a grim face at the last part she said. Then shivers again, sticking out his tounge in disgust.
"I don't know Alya, I don't know…" He simply answers.
"You're a pushover!" Plagg cried out.
"Plagg!" Tikki scolded.
"What!? It's the truth and you know it!" Plagg countered. And their banter continued on.
"God you know it's bad when Plagg is right…" Alya muttered. Adrien gave her a dead panned look before he gave a 'I give up' pose.
"Welp, looks like we have to meet up with the high commission soon…" Alya states as she scrolls down her phone to oversee the schedule.
"Adrien come on, it's going to start in 20 minutes." And so the four of them left to the commission meeting.
"Hey so why are we attending?" Plagg asked suddenly. Tikki looked annoyed but started to explain.
"We are trying to achieve an everlasting peace with the humans here on earth, but before we could do that, we have this meeting with the high commission so that everyone is on the same page. We can't have a peace treaty if everyone doesn't agree to it."
"I have a bad feeling about this…" Plagg warns. Tikki gives a pensive look.
"I-Is it that bad?" Tikki asked.
"I am not sure…. But whatever the case Adrien be on the alert."
"You don't have to remind me, my uncle Hawkmoth will be attending…" Adrien reminded them with a grim look.
"Oh I hate that bastard…" Plagg responds with a disgusted look on his face.
"I don't feel comfortable around him either, he's so…" Tikki started but cut herself off.
"Guys lets not talk bad, what if someone hears you?" Alya warns. That shut them both up.
"Well we're here…" Adrien said with a determined look.
The four of them entered the room to find that it was filled with members of the High Commision. A total of 12 members. They were all present but the most prominent ones being Mr. Bourgeois and Hawkmoth. The atmosphere seemed, eerie. Everyone had on an anxious look, well, everyone except Hawkmoth, but that is to be expected. The man literally gives off an aura full of intimidation. Much like Adrien's father back in Telsa running the Akuma kingdom as it is. The high commission consisted of members of the super rich and famous. In other words, were Donald Trump wannabees. (Sorry for sounding mean to those Trump supporters, personally I hated both Hillary and Trump and asked why we couldn't reshuffle. But back to the story.)
"Good day to you all fine Akumen." Adrien started. Everyone got off their seats to bow as a means of showing respect to their future king. Even Hawkmoth, which made things ten times weirder, he never bows for the King, let alone the Prince!
"As you all have guessed, I have brought you all here in regards to signing a peace treaty with the Earth humans." Adrien started. Everyone nodded as they all took their seats. They all looked at Adrien, and the Prince took it as his signal to continue.
"Are there any questions so far?" Adrien asked, but he gave a look friendly. But really he disliked the commission so much. He knew they'd be hard to convince because of their snobbish, petty behaviors and only wish for more power.
"Your Highness, I have but a concern…" A Brown haired, hazel eyed man with a goatee spoke up. Adrien reluctantly let him continue.
"Your Highness, there is an instability between the humans and the Akumas. And I for one am not a big fan of this. Especially of the humans, sir how can we trust them. They are merely primitive monkeys, they haven't even developed an interstellar trade income!"
"Sir Gavillo, there is a first for everything, and please do refrain from announcing something like that in the meeting with the Humans." Adrien was pissed, but he had on an amazing poker face. 'How dare he insult my Marinette like that?!' is what he thought.
"Sir, he ain't wrong, what if we can't trust them? They don't appear to be capable of coping with us" Another member spoke up. He had silver hair, and a shaved face. He had yellow eyes, and had sideburns. His hair was slicked back. Adrien sucked in a huge amount of air before he continued.
"Well Sir Armoud, how would you think they feel, having an interstellar dominating race to just barge right in their home world? They would feel terrified and have full reason not to trust us. But if we put this mistrust between the two of us, I am confident we will come up with a conclusion." He finished off.
"And that conclusion would be your highness?" Hawkmoth asked. For some odd reason, he always wore a silver head mask, sort of like a wrestler, and had always worn a purple suit with a butterfly brooch attached at the collar. 'Ok Adrien, let's not screw this up.'
"We will provide the humans with our latest technologies so that they may advance at a much faster pace, while we gain resources in return. Our race as you know it is currently on a dry spell for natural resources as it is. Earth provides these resources necessary for our species to thrive."
"Then why don't we conquer the planet, we have the higher-level technology, we have the needs way more than them. I honestly don't see your point in the matter your Highness. Why go through such lengths for such a pitiful race" Another man in the commission intervenes.
"How dare you interrupt the prince old man! Know your place!" Plagg intervenes.
"I could say the same to you, Kwami scum!" he barked
"What was that?!" Plagg extended his claws at the man
"Plagg no!" Tikki grabbed a hold of Plagg's arm
"EVERYONE STOP!" Adrien managed to stop the meeting from escalating. He took another deep breathe before he continued. Still with his best fake smile he continued.
"Sir Barat, that was awfully rude of you to interrupt me like that, but Plagg, you also spoke out of line." Adrien gave Barat, who had blonde hair and a long beard, with beady red eyes and wore glasses. Then he looked at Plagg, and gave him a pleading look. Plagg crossed his arms and looked away from the boy. Tikki and Alya both took in a deep breath. Adrien decided to continue.
"As I was saying, we have only been dominating planets, we have been feared as the race of Death." Adrien had on a disappointed look.
"Galaxies from across the planet fear the name Akuma… I believe that as your future king, we must change that. And starting with this planet, the Akumas will establish a peace that will mark the histories of both Humans, Akumas and the universe." Adrien looks around the table, anxious to the looks the members had on their faces. Hawkmoth had a frown on his, making Adrien's hairs go up.
"So dear Prince, what you are saying is that you wish for the Akuma race to discontinue dominating planets and search for peace?" Hawkmoth asked as a recap for everyone in the room.
"That is correct, lord Hawkmoth." Adrien nods.
"So then, dear Nephew, would you care to explain how should we deal with the other races we have conquered?" The atmosphere drastically changed. 'Shit I didn't think that far ahead!' Adrien thought. The members discussed with themselves on this new question the man brought up.
"He makes a good point…" One of them said.
"What's his problem, we are thriving the way we are?"
"I say let's keep dominating planets."
"Humans are savages, why let them have their freedom?"
"They aren't even putting the resources into good use!"
"They're already polluting the planet, if anything we are the ones who are saving them all!"
'Oh no' Plagg thought. Tikki and Alya gave each other wary looks. Things were not looking good for them, especially the Prince. Adrien was starting to sweat, but he still kept on his poker face. 'What he wants is a plan right? No this is Hawkmoth, he's planning something…' Adrien thought again trying to figure out what Hawkmoth was getting at here. Hawkmoth was the only one not participating in the discussion and was giving Adrien an amused grin. 'What are you getting at Hawkmoth?' He thought before an idea popped up.
"I thought we were estabilishing a peace here Gentleakuma? Where did this even come from?" Adrien cried. 'Dammit, I sound desperate!' His poker face was on the brink to falling apart the moment he saw Hawkmoth grinning at him like as if he won.
"My prince, is it true that you have not thought that far ahead? Then again taking charge at such a young age for a prince is understandable." The masked villain smirked in triumph, yet again.
"That is no way to talk to the prince like that!" Alya cried out in response to Hawkmoth's treacherous comment.
"Know your place servant!" Sir Barat yelled.
"No YOU NEED TO KNOW YOUR DAMN PLACE!" She responded back with malice in her voice.
"What do you know? You're just a little orphan girl takin in by the humble palace! Maybe you should know your place." Sir Barat crossed a line, for which even Adrien gave the death glare to the entire committee. Alya's eyes grew extremely cold at the comment.
"ENOUGH!" Adrien yelled. The entire room went quiet yet again. He looked around the room, scanning the faces of everyone. 'This is really bad…' Plagg and Tikki were anxious and Alya was just quiet, holding back her bloodlust against the snobbish man.
"We are signing this peace treaty in hopes of achieving something of a much greater value, than before. Something unpresented in the makings of the Akumas. We will still obtain what we require, but in greater proportions." Adrien finished. A few sweat beads sliding down his face. Adrien looks around the room in a calm manner because he did not want to look desperate. The faces of the members were filled with unsure, scared, and unsatisfied looks. Hawkmoth though, looked unreadable. 'Dammit…' He thought. And right on cue a short man with slick back purple hair with purple-blue eyes pops out of the door.
"S-sir the Earth Humans are ready to start the meeting…" He states shyly.
"Why thank you Noroo." Hawkmoth casually states. Noroo was Hawkmoth's Kwami.
"You may take your leave Noroo, you have done enough…" Adrien finishes up.
"T-thank you your H-Highness…" Noroo finishes as he looks at Tikki and Plagg, giving them a small smile. Plagg and Tikki gave Noroo their own smiles before he went out the door. Adrien looks at the members one more time.
"I want you all on your best behavior, Gentle Akuma…" And he especially looks at Sir Barat. And then the prince , along with Alya and the Kwami couple take their leave. When they were far enough from the drama.
"The fucking nerve that cocky bastard had of insulting, Plagg, Tikki and me makes me want to pause him until he STARVES TO DEATH." The phone girl said with malice.
"Why didn't you let me at least claw his face Adrien!? That's all I was gonna do! No one INULTS MY TIKKI!" Plagg screeches.
"He wasn't even yelling at me…" Tikki counters while looking on the floor with a hidden blush.
"If they insult all Kwamis, they insult u as well!" he countered.
"We should have been more careful, I could just imagine the amount of strain the Prince himself had…" Tikki commented.
"Ugh, I- I can't believe he said that! The nerve of him!" Alya yelled in disbelieve. Adrien seemed lost in his own thoughts. Plagg was the first to notice.
"He, kid you okay?" He asked, his tone filled with genuine concern.
"I-I don't know…."Adrien answered.
"What was he trying to play at here?" He questioned to himself as he started to ponder the many possibilities on what Hawkmoth could gain from that quarrel just now.
"Kid, I have a really bad feeling about something…." Plagg states. Tikki looked extremely worried now.
"P-Plagg!" Plagg immediately looked at his beloved lover.
"I-It's Ma-Marinette…" Adrien now gave his full attention to her.
"W-what is it?" He asked.
"I sense something really bad is going to happen to her…" Plagg was nervous, Alya was scrolling through her phone like there was no tomorrow, and Adrien gave an unreadable look.
"D-Do you have any idea?" Plagg asked.
"I-I don't know…" Tikki answered with tears down her face. Plagg pulled her in a warm embrace while whispering sweet nothings into her ear. Alya went up to the prince and grabbed him by the collar.
"Listen here pretty boy, if you don't woe that girl, I will." She threatened lowly. The prince still gave an unreadable expression.
"I can't Alya, I need to be present in the meeting…" Adrien stated in an extremely dejected tone.
"Right now, I don't trust the high Commision, especially with this detrimental meeting approaching…" Alya let her grasp loosen, allowing the Prince to slip away.
"Alya, I'm literally dying to go to her, but I can't… I have too much to lose if I go. I just…" Adrien stopped.
"Fine… You're right. What we need right now is for this meeting to go afloat, and for that to work, we need the prince, or future king, to be there." Alya responded, but with a new found smile.
"I promise to myself, and to you that we shall go immediately to her after this meeting is over." He swears. Alya and the rest of them all nods their heads in understanding.
The gang proceeds to go to the special room with Earth's space defense organization. Everyone was there, even the high commission as well as Hawkmoth. A gigantic table was in the middle of the room. On the left side was the Earth Protection side, and on the right were the High Commision.
"Is everyone present…" The same male officer that broke in Mari's house. (Should I call these officers Jessse and James?!)
"I believe that this is all of them…" The same female officer that also broke in Mari's house responded.
"We are here to discuss the, terms of the peace treaty you Akumas have proposed" James clarified. Adrien nodded in response.
"That is right sir." He said with the utmost respect.
"And you wish to help the human race industrialize on their technology, but in return, we give you our fair share of natural resources…" Jesse stated in return. Adrien nods his head again.
"Now, let the discussion begin…" James announced. The first to speak was Sir Barat.
"Now, I am indeed curious as to what you, humans will do with the technology we shall provide to you, provided that you give us what we need." He spoke with hidden malice.
"Why, help solve, or at the very least ease in the various problems surrounding the world we earthlings regard to with concern…" A male human with the nerdiest glasses you could think of. Oh and he was also bald, yep as shiny as a bald man. I think I'll make him black…
"And what are these, situations you earthlings have gotten yourselves into, exactly?" Sir Barat continued, his tone almost sounding facetious. He literally had on a smug face. Adrien was already getting nervous. The gang did not like where things are going.
"Enough about us, why would you need our natural resources?" A guy with a huge scar running across his face and he had blue eyes and was also bald. Seems like the bald people are ruleing the world? No?
"We would like to disclose that information…" Sir Armound responded. The look on the Scarred man's face was not amusing to look at.
"And why not? I thought we were establishing a peace here. I don't know any of your policies, but here on Earth, it is regarded as bad etiquette to not have trust between parties during a peace meeting." Scar crosses his arms clearly disapproving the lack of trust from the Akumas.
"I am sorry if it seemed that way sir, but please allow me to explain." Adrien intervened. Hawkmoth did not look happy, but Adrien didn't care. He was going to make peace dammit.
"You see sir, the Akumas' are in a dire need for the natural resources for our immense population. And with your help, in the future we could co-exist with one another and help each other out." Adrien stated, his tone full of honest words in them. The scar man was fazed, but for a much different reason why.
"Aren't you awfully young to be in this meeting?" Sabine commented to the prince.
"Is that a problem ma'am?" He asked.
"Why of course not honey, it's just you are so mature for your age, right sweety?!" Sabine asked her husband Tom Dupain-Cheng.
"Your father would be quite proud of you son." He stated with his own smile.
"Mr. And Mrs. Dupain-Cheng, please refrain from changing the subject…" Jesse scolded.
"Haha, I'm sorry Jesse, but come on, you guys need to lighten up here." Sabine responded. Tom nods his head in agreement to his wife's comment.
"Ugh." The scarred man groans. Master Fu was also present. Adrien felt his self-esteem boost at the kind words the Dupain-Chengs had said. 'Wait… Dupain-Cheng? Why does that sound so.. familiar?"
"Dupain-Cheng?" Adrien blurted out, but quickly covered his mouth. Alya and Tikki had their eyes wide open, Plagg face palmed. Everyone looked to the prince.
"Uh, your highness…" asked with slight concern. Hawkmoth had his smug face on too.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I've heard of that name somewhere, or at the very least seen it somewhere." He responded. The officers were not looking pleased.
"Please refrain from personal comments during this meeting." James responded.
"Yes sorry about that…" Adrien said, disappointed in himself for that. The meeting continued with more serious bullshit that even the author doesn't know what to say. And finally the meeting was over. So yeah, lets say the results of the meeting were, not remarkable. Between the two species, its as if the gap has only expanded much more. And Adrien is down because of it.
"Th-that wasn't so bad… right?" Alya asked, a little unsure.
"Well, it could've gone worse…" Plagg responded. Tikki looked tired, and then she tripped over nothing, but Plagg caught her mid air.
"Tikki, be careful…" Plagg lightly scolded. Tikki simply nodded as she fell asleep in his arms.
"God dammit Tikki." Plagg groaned as he picked her up bridal style.
"Yo Adrien, I'm taking Tikki to sleep, we are really tired, can you manage without us?" Plagg asked.
"Yeah sure…" By the time Adrien looked the two were already gone, leaving Alya with him. She yawns and then looks at her phone.
"Oh dang I forgot to show this video to the high commission!" She yelled.
"Which video?" Adrien asked.
"The one with your soulmate, Marinette was it?" She pondered at the name.
"Let me see it!" Adrien tried yanking the phone from the girl, but Alya hugged the device.
"Touch it and you die." She warned. Adrien was giving her, 'really bitch, you can try' look.
"Ugh fine! But it's the same one alright!" She shows the video again, and this time projects the video into a holo screen. Little did the two know, they were not alone.
The Dupain-Chengs POV
"Oh dear, it's awfully late, and I am to tired to go back, lets stay the night here." Sabine suggested.
"You're right honey, but what about Marinette?" Tom asked.
"Let's text her!" Both of them looked at their phones only to find that the devices were dead.
"Aww shoot." Sabine groaned. Tom looked sad.
"I don't mind passing a message along to your daughter. Can you tell me where the Bakery is?" Fu asked. The expressions on the worrisesome parents vanished.
"Yes, let me right a note." Tom hands the note to the old man. He simply ties the note to a rock. Tom then explains the address to the Bakery, the old man was listening, spun around and closed his eyes.
"hhhhHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Fu cried as he threw the rock out of the building in the direction to the bakery.
"Um.. Fu what did you do?" Tom asked.
"Sent the message." He explains as he proceeds to walk away. He muttered something about needing a shoulder massage while stretching the arm.
"Wow for such an old age, that man can pack quite a throw…" Sabine states. Tom nods.
"Welp, guess that's taken care of…" Tom says as the two walk away. Little did they both know they were being watched from the shadows.
The Mystery People's POV
"Did you hear that James…" The shadow said.
"Yes, Marinette Dupain-Cheng must be contained…" James explained with a weird grin.
Author's note:
Well I sure had fun, I don't know about you guys, still in Las Vegas, but I want to post this chapter to you all cause I love you guys…
