I only intended this to have two parts :3

Fun Fact: The show's creator, Thomas Astruc, has stated that Adrien watches anime cannonly! Now, ain't that awesome?

Golden Eagle

Chapter XII:

Animeniac:

Part III

Cat Noir walked out of the kitchen to see Golden Eagle leaning against the wall. She was looking at her right hand and pulling a confused face.

"Uhh... everything alright?" he asked "Is your hand injured or something?"

"Yeah, I- uh- after I de-transformed I grabbed an arrow to finish Alphonse off and it cut my hand. I used a First-Aid kit to bandage it up but now it's gone," she explained.

"Our suits work as a second skin so it's probably staunching the blood for you. Your injury will be back when you de-tranform again," Cat Noir explained.

"Oh, okay then," Golden Eagle said "Anyway, we've gotta find Ladybug and deal with Animeniac,"

"Agreed, let's go,"

The pair went running down the corridor in search of the third protector of Paris. They knew Animeniac was searching for more manga that would most likely be found in the studio they were filming Otaku Trivia! in. That made it the most likely spot for them to be. Golden Eagle looked at her wrist dock and opened up the communicator. She pressed the ladybug icon and it began to ring the corresponding superhero.

"Eagle, you're okay," Ladybug said in a pant.

"Yeah, Alphonse is down and Amie's safe. Her arm's broken but she's safe," Golden Eagle responded "I'm here with Cat Noir, we met up in the kitchen when we both needed to feed our Kwami. We're all charged up so where are you?"

"Stage B4, Animeniac's summoned some black-and-white animatronic bear that's making spears and other deadly stuff shoot out at me," she said and she ducked a spiked ball that was thrown at her head.

"Sounds like Monokuma from Danganronpa: the Animation," Cat Noir spoke up in the background "Careful, my Lady, if he gets his paws on you then he'll execute you in a horrifically ironic way,"

"Got it! GAH!" Ladybug ducked another spiked ball "Hurry, I can't even get close with Mono-whatever here! What's his weakness?!"

"He's just an animatronic bear controlled by whoever has his reins. Since he's in reality and being controlled by Animeniac, he won't spontaneously respawn himself like the anime," Golden Eagle explained "Short-circuit him!"

"Okay, don't let him catch me and try to short-circuit him. Got it," and Ladybug hung up.

"Let's hurry," Cat Noir suggested "When I watched Danganronpa: the Animation for the first time, Monokuma gave me nightmares for months! He's one messed-up teddy bear like a Japanese Five Nights at Freddy's!"

"Then let's take a shortcut, shall we?"

Golden Eagle pried open some elevator doors and jumped down the shaft, spreading out her glider-wings. Cat Noir extended his staff down the shaft and hung on as he slowly retracted it to lower himself down.

Ladybug surveyed the room best she could while dodging Monokuma's psychotic attacks. She looked up and saw the crazed bear was standing directly underneath a sprinkler. Timing it just right between attacks, she threw her yoyo and broke the sprinkler head off. Water came pouring out and drenched Monokuma, causing him the short-circuit and turn into a volume of the Danganronpa manga. The manga volume was then ruined by the water still pouring on top of it.

"D**n you, Ladybug!" Animeniac yelled and he grabbed another manga volume "Let's see how you deal with Ryuk!"

Before the akumatized villain could place his hand on the Death Note volume, an arrow was shot through the book. They looked to the doorway to see Golden Eagle having already notched another arrow and Cat Noir with his staff drawn. Animeniac tossed the ruined manga aside and reached for another one only for Golden Eagle to shoot another arrow through it.

"Keep trying, Animeniac! I'll just keep firing and my quiver never runs out," she warned him as she approached with another arrow notched "But, I've got a proposition for you,"

"Like what?" Animeniac asked.

"You think you're the biggest anime fan in Paris? Well, you're not and neither is Amie," Golden Eagle said "I am and I'll prove it! But, if I win you'll admit defeat and let your akuma be captured!"

The supervillain and superhero looked into each other's unnaturally-coloured eyes. If it had been an anime, fire would have surely been burning around them.

"Deal but if I win, I get Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses!"

Golden Eagle looked back at them and the original duo nodded.

"Deal,"

After kidnapping Alec and Akiko from outside to serve as hosts, Animeniac and Golden Eagle sat in the competitor's booths. Wanting to humiliate his enemies, Animeniac had insisted on the battle of anime nerdiness being broadcasted live on T.V! Now if he took the Miraculouses, all of Paris would see them de-transform.

"O-Okay, let's... get started," Alec stammered, nervously stretching his neckline to cool down "In Magic Kaito, who was the original Phantom Thief?"

Animeniac buzzed.

"Toichi Kuroba" he answered.

"Incorrect, Golden Eagle?"

"Toichi Kuroba's wife, the Phantom Lady," she answered.

"Correct,"

Animeniac looked over at Golden Eagle and glared. First question and he was already behind. No matter, it was one point and he'd crush her in the ensuing rounds...

...He didn't. Question after question, Golden Eagle either buzzed in first or correctly answered the questions he got wrong. Either way, her answers were dead-on and by the end of the round they both had 15 points each.

"Time for the tie-breaker," Akiko said "What thing of significance do Levi from Attack on Titan and Nagisa's father from Assassination Classroom have in common?

Golden Eagle buzzed in the moment the host finished her sentence. She looked over at Animeniac and smiled. She had this. Animeniac knew the look in her golden eyes. It was confidence. The confidence that she had the right answer. He heard Hawk Moth yelling at him and he sweated as Golden Eagle uttered the answer.

"They were both voiced by Matthew Mercer for their English dubs," she said "Also, Mercer's real name is Matthew Miller,"

"Correct on both accounts," Akiko declared "Golden Eagle, you-"

"NO!"

Animeniac was seething with rage. He approached Golden Eagle and looked down at her with a crazed look in his eye like Takaoka when Nagisa mock-assassinated him. Instead of notching an arrow, she used her bow to hit him across the face then kneed him in the nose. Animeniac hit the ground and a discoloured limited edition Levi action figure fell out of his suit.

"If that's not where the akuma is then I don't know where it could be," Golden Eagle said.

Ladybug stomped on the action figure, making all Attack on Titan fans cringe and the akuma came fluttering out. She opened up her yoyo and quickly captured the akuma before it could escape.

"Bye-bye, little butterfly," she said and threw her yoyo into the air in the absence of Lucky Charm "Miraculous Ladybug!"

The destruction the anime characters had done was reversed and the characters themselves turned back into their manga volumes which returned to their owners' hands. Beau woke-up with no memory and feeling embarrassed about losing. With the day finally saved, the Parisian protectors went their separate ways.

...That night, Marinette's home..

"Where the heck's Adrien? He's the one bringing the box set!" Alya complained.

"I'm sure he'll be here soon," Nathanaël said "Nino, can't you call him?"

"Doing that," Nino said with his cellphone to his ear "Hey, Alicia? Marinette? How's the snacks coming along?"

"Almost ready!" Marinette called back.

Alicia smiled as she waited for the popcorn to be done. Her group of kind-of friends were gathered together to do one of her favourite things: watch anime! The microwave beeped and she took out the piping hot paper bag.

"Alicia, you want some help?" Marinette asked.

"Yeah, thanks,"

Together they pried the bag open at one end and tipped the butter-topped popcorn out into a bowl with the label "Butter" on it. Alicia grabbed the packet of salted popcorn to prepare for the "Salted" bowl when Marinette noticed her bandaged right hand.

"Your hand! What happened?!" she exclaimed.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just cut myself by accident when I was doing some baking. By the way, don't reach for a knife when your not fully paying attention," Alicia explained.

Finally, there was a knock on the door and Adrien arrived with his Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood box set. Alicia quickly put the salted popcorn in the microwave and grabbed the bowl of buttery popcorn to add to the coffee table of junk food. When everyone sat down to watch the anime, Adrien asked to be passed the popcorn. Alicia picked it up and held it out to him. As he reached for a handful, he saw the bandages around her hand.

"Yeah, I- uh- after I de-transformed I grabbed an arrow to finish Alphonse off and it cut my hand. I used a First-Aid kit to bandage it up but now it's gone,"

Golden Eagle's words came back to him but he was easily distracted by the Elric brothers facing off against the Freezing Alchemist. Tikki, Plagg and Donno all sat hidden on a bookshelf together with some popcorn of their own.
