Chapter 3
Marinette curls on her side, grumbling and ignoring Nooroo's alarmed calls. He finally calls into her ear.
"Marinette! You're going to be late!"
Marinette jumps up, barely avoiding hitting her head on her bedpost, and runs for her bathroom.
It takes her exactly five minutes to get ready, grab a croissant, and run to the collége.
She's panting as she slips into her seat next to Alya, who in turn gives her her signature amused smile and showing her friend her phone.
"Marinette! Guess what! A new super hero was spotted today, going by the name of Papillon! Apparently she can send out these things called 'akumas' and turns normal civilians towards her cause." Alya gushes.
"Hmm." Marinette grins mysteriously, not noticing when Nino and Adrien lean in closer to hear what she says. "I wonder who she is."
...
"I am Papillon, and you are now Ocean's Wave." Papillon tells Kikii, watching in her mind's eye as she turns into Ocean's Wave.
Papillon sighs and sits back, watching the akuma and her partner's go after a pair of criminals. They had shoplifted, broken into houses and stole stuff, etc.
Papillon is disappointed that she can never help her partners, always having to make an akuma to do her bidding.
It was now two months after she had become Papillon, and every time she saw danger she had to make an akuma, instead of dealing with it herself.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug cries, throwing the Lucky Charm, a rope, into the air.
Papillon releases the akuma and flutters off, landing on her roof and letting go of her transformation.
"Nooroo, why can't I just fight beside my partners? Why do I have to create an akuma?" Marinette murmurs to her kwami, her eyes closed as she lies down on her bed.
"Because, Marinette, it is the butterfly's duty to stay on the sidelines." Nooroo looks at his charge with sad eyes, weakness obvious in the kwami's eyes. "But there is one way..."
...
The same day, Dane's POV
Dane walks along the streets, whistling as his eyes roam. They come to a stop when he sees a sparkling glimmer of something hidden within a crack on the street.
Dane looks down at it, picking it up. It was a bee shaped comb. He shrugs and clips it to his hair, gasping when a small bee-like creature appears in front of him.
"I am Hunni." She says shortly. "And I can turn you, Dane, into the superhero Honeycomb. The girls are Queen Bee, but I assume you don't want to be a Queen..."
Dane grins. "What do I say?"
"Hunni, Stinger out." The bee smiles up at him.
Dane's smile darkens, and he clutches the comb tighter. "Good, now I can repay the favor to everyone who ever hurt me..."
"Dane, wait - "
"Hunni, Stinger out!"
Ooh, is the holder of the bee miraculous going to be the villain in this story? I honestly don't know.
Review and tell me if you think Dane/Honeycomb should be the villain in The Rise of Papillon ;)
Sorry this chapter is so short, I just thought having Honeycomb just be introduced being a good cliffhanger...
Whoops, look at the time! I gotta go write more for The Miraculous Team ;)
Peacock out!
