The Miraculous Thief Chapter 2
Blame the movie.
The length is because I was into writing this chapter and I don't expect to update again for a while.
I own Nothing!
:Chapter Start:
Skies above Paris-inside a plane coming into land.
Two nerdy individuals were drinking wine as they came into land on a private airfield located just outside of Paris in their private cargo plane. The first being a female with faded pink hair that was starting to turn grey, on her ear was what appeared to be a pen combined with a wrench, wearing a lab coat over old woollen clothes. The second nerd was a male, that appears jumpy with a pair of red gloves on each hand, wearing a lab coat and stretchy clothes under his lab coat. The two were sitting opposite each other where they were being served by robot guards concealed in human disguises and in the cargo hold is six metal knights crates each holding a single Cooper Artefact each. While they were labelled for which general they were for.
These two nerds were the Mechanic and The Beast, the two technical advisors of Clockwerk and the only ones who could build the Metal Knights. At least when together, The Beast controlled the Cooper Artefacts and the materials while the Mechanic can actually construct the knights.
The Beast then speaks up, "I wonder what we the miraculous' can do with our powers?"
Mechanic responded with a computer styled tone, "My power indicates that it would be beneficial to my current abilities," The Beast nods in agreement.
Monday Morning-Francoise Dopant Academy
Arsene was sitting at his desk in the back of the classroom where Arsene was tempted to fall asleep. The reason he was in science class, the problem, Chloe decided to mess with Marionette during an experiment resulting in Marionette needing to leave with her mother due to temporary blindness. Now the entire class had to review safety except for Chloe even though she had been caught and now while she was off getting a manicure, the entire class was taking the Lab safety course for the tenth time in the last month.
Arsene then pulled out his journal and started thinking of different revenge plans against Chloe ranging from permanent blindness to, he suddenly gets an evil smirk as he decides what to do tonight rubbing his hands evilly. They then did a test resulting in Everyone getting a perfect score on the safety test, they never changed between test, which is a good thing due to them becoming part of everyone's final grade that Chloe would be failing at this point. So once everyone aced the test they went to their next class where they were matched into pairs where Chloe was not there but fortunately Arsene was paired with Marionette while Chloe was paired with Kim, for a class in poetry where they need to create matching poems for two random people in the class. Arsene got to choose two names for him and Marionette to create poems, both causing Arsene to smirk and he was then excused to visit Marionette where after a quick call to the bakery he found out Marionette's blindness was temporary and was already clearing up.
So Arsene walked to the Bakery and Marionette's parents let him go up while he carried up some cookies for Marionette to eat while they studied. Arsene knocked on the trap door and heard, "Who is it?" which sounded rushed for some reason.
Arsene answered, "Your partner in writing poems about a random person in class. I figured you might like who you got."
Arsene hears some comments about hiding before Marionette speaks, "Come up," with that Arsene opened the trap door before he walked into the room where he sees lots of fashionable furniture and clothes Marionette had made. Currently Marionette was sitting on her couch and appearing lightly depressed. Marionette asks, "So what is the school assignment?"
"Basically we have to write poems about a random person in class," Arsene states before smirking and says, "You got Adrian," Marionette 'eeps' before Arsene says, "It is completely annomanus, meaning you can give him your feelings and he won't know who wrote it unless the author decided to inform him."
Arsene smirks at the blushing Marionette, before she frowns and asks, "Who did you get?" Arsene remains silent before she sighs, "You got Chloe?" Arsene was silent before Marionette says, "Try not to be too-" she was hesitant to say what she thought.
"Angry or my personal feeling wanting her to suffer is in no way going to affect the outcome of what needs to be written," Arsene states before saying, "Look I am only here to help you type up the poem, so you talk I will type," with that Arsene started typing the poem up while messing with the Gramma so that certain letters were capitalised while the other were properly completed. Arsene smiles and says, "Now we just email it to the teacher and she will print them off and hand the out to those they are written for."
Marionette nods while frowning as she says, "Well please be sensible with your poem."
"Please," Arsene says, "A written poem will be nice compared to what I could say to her," Arsene says goodbye leaving Marionette to her cookies. Arsene walked home for the day with plans for that night that needed to be prepared.
With Purple Dragon-Random bar on the edge of town.
The Scottish Brawler was drinking whisky and waiting for the person he was meeting today, for his next mission. He was waiting a couple more minutes before he hears the door open and The Beast walked into the bar and says, "Hello Purple Dragon, been waiting long?"
"No," Scottich Brawler states before glaring at The Beast.
The Beast smirks before saying, "You will like what I plan to do. We are going to have hostages forcing them to not be able to fight back. I will be one of the hostages if this plan fails The Beast will make an appearance." Purple Dragon was silent at that showing some fear at the thought. The Beast then says, "I have a target for who we take tomorrow," he hands Purple Dragon a piece of paper for Purple Dragon to know where and when.
Deckerd Home-An hour before sunset
Arsene was roof running home before sliding down the a drain pipe and walked into his home missing the sight of a blue van with orange flames on the side was parked in front of his home with another Purple and pink van parked on a trailer behind it. Arsene walked into the home where he passes his parents speaking with two larger gentlemen that caused Arsene to stop and take three steps back where he sees two people that he had not expected to see again as he says, "Uncle Mark and Harry!"
Uncle Mark is a large overweight man wearing a flight hat and a white scarf, while Harry was also overweight only wearing a grey hooded coat and a black shirt with a wheel on fire. Arsene goes to Harry and pulls the teen twice his size into a hug, and Harry silently pats his back.
Arsene asks, "How have you been Harry?" and received a series of mumbles in reply confusing Arsene.
Uncle Mark says, "Harry has been struggling to make friends after we moved to Germany. Though he has discovered a love for the Vans. You should have seen Harry's Van outside on the trailer."
Arsene asks, "How long are you in town?"
Uncle Mark smiles and says, "We are moving back to Paris, and Harry will be joining your class," causing Arsene to smile and drags Harry to his room to hang out as it had been ten years since they hanged out. Though this was the same time that Arsene introduced Sly to Harry and explained what was happening as Harry was silent through the whole thing, taking in all the information and noticing a specific shine of the Thief Miraculous.
Francoise Dopant Academy-The next day-Lunch
The next day Arsene introduced Harry to the school whom was silent the entire time, Chloe was strangely silent for the whole day wearing a hat the covered her head the entire day she refused to remove it and would change the subject every time it was mentioned. Though Marionette was helped to walk into the school by Alya who was holding her arm so Marionette would not trip every step up the stairs to the classroom. Marionette could tell who was speaking to her, only in a somewhat blurry vision. Her internal thoughts were, 'Please no Akuma attacks until I can see again.'
They were having lunch when Chloe spoke to Marionette while Harry was in ear shot, "Hello Batty, how is that sense of smell doing you? It is the only way you will be able to move around."
Marionette frowns and says, "This coming from the girl who blinded me," which was heard by Harry who stands and starts walking over.
Chloe laughs and says, "What could you mean? It was someone else who returned you to your rightful place," Chloe laughed until she begins to scream in terror as Harry lifted her with one hand.
Harry speaks for the first time in the audible range for the first time in years, it was low and deep but heard by everyone, "You are a horrible person," before he removes her hat revealing to the school that all her hair had been removed and she ran away when Harry dropped her letting her run away and gets chased by a shocked Sabrina.
Arsene laughs and says, "Wow, talk about Karma," Arsene had a humoured smile on his face. Arsene then noticed a man in a lab coat that he did not recognise though Harry noticed a pair of red gloves, causing Harry to be transfixed by it. The Beast was talking with the Principle and the Science teacher where they were talking about sharing an experience in a real scientific experiment, even having a bus to take the students to the location after school. With that Harry, Arsene, Marionette, Alya, Nino, and a couple other students. When Marionette argued that she couldn't go being blind, The Beast decided that it did not matter just being there would be a learning experience.
That afternoon, Harry was silently watching The Beast the entire time The Beast was talking about the experiment as the bus travelled though the city and to the outskirts not far from the Augestine Mansion. Where they see a large coil with a metal cage under it while they walked over to the building to the side where The Beast speaks, "The experiment is to generate a thunder storm with Static electricity. For safety reasons we will be stationed in the control building. The cage and the control room are built with grounding cages that will protect us from any stray lightning."
The Beast smiles as he leads them inside the control room while Marionette was still struggling to see. Arsene frowns as the experiment was about to begin only for Purple Dragon to arrive through a wall and grabs Marionette from behind and says, "I suggest you call the police and don't try anything or my men will before the execute you for annoying us. YOU!" he points at The Beast and says, "You start your weather machine," with that Purple Dragon took Marionette outside and threw her into the cage under the weather machine. Marionette was struggling figure out where she was as the cage was shut as Purple Dragon says, "Sit tight my little worm," Purple Dragon chuckles as Marionette couldn't move as she sees bright lights as the weather machine activated with sparks travelling along the cage. Purple Dragon returned to the control room where he sees Ayla recording them live on her blog. Purple Dragon gets in her face and says, "Ladybug and Chat Noir, if you don't want the girl or any of the hostages, to die you will face me at the source of the storm at the east side of the Paris. Oh and Sly Cooper I see you, they all die!"
Arsene frowns at that before whispering, "Well good thing he is a criminal and not a hero." Harry looks at his friend knowing the truth of 'Sly Cooper' and knowing his friend. Harry is not really the smartest person in a room, even when he is in a room by himself. Harry then looks to the The Beast deep in thought and Harry was very patient.
Purple Dragon waited for a full hour as the storm grew stronger above them as Marionette appeared distraught before Purple Dragon grew angry as he says, "That is it. All of you outside on your knees and hands behind your head. Blog Girl! Record this," Purple Dragon stands in front of the hostages and says to Ayla's camera, "Ladybug and Chat Noir, I have been patient, you have ten minutes to get here before I start killing hostages! Starting with the blog girl. After that every five minutes after another Hostage will die, twenty minutes after I start killing I get my friend The Beast to attack Paris after he kills the rest of these kids!"
Ayla gulps before Purple Dragon crushes the camera and then pushes Ayla to the ground and intended to kill her first. Ayla stayed still on the ground while Purple Dragon was pacing in anger and was about to kill the first hostage eight minutes early only for Chat Noir to speak, "Wow wow wow, let's just remain calm."
Purple Dragon turned to Chat Noir and says, "Where is Ladybug?"
"Not sure, my guess is that she is not in condition to fight or HawkMoth attacked. Just don't kill the hostages," Chat Noir states with nervous seriousness.
Purple Dragon growls before turning to The Beast and says, "Transform and kill them already!"
The Beast stands in anger and says, "That wasn't the plan!"
"No Ladybug, now transform!" Purple Dragon states in anger.
The Beast sighs as he removes his gloves from his pocket before putting them on and says, "Never Stop!" With that he roars in pain as his lab coat was torn to shreds and his skin turned purple and he roars as he grows in size losing all reason as his muscles grew to obscene size as he grew taller and roars smashing one of the robot guards that was in his way. Chat Noir then did a stupid as he wacks The Beast in the side of the head when he looked to Harry.
While The Beast slowly walked towards Chat Noir in anger while Harry helped Ayla up and Arsene directed everyone away from the battle while Harry turned to the weather machine and proceeded to rush to the cage only to have his fingers burned lightly. Harry frowns as he notices Arsene and proceeded to try and find a way through that gate, trying his first method a couple times before punching it once. The only one who noticed Harry was Arsene as Chat Noir was too busy defending himself from Robot Guards, The Beast and Purple Dragon where he groans in pain when he was knocked away and was struggling to stand. The Beast started stepping up to him and raised both fists into the air intending to smash Chat Noir into a puddle only for the storm above them to start to rain and suddenly five lightning bolts struck him one after the other causing The Beast to scream and his gloves to go flying off his fists and being lost as The Beast returned to being his nerdy self with torn clothes. The Beast then collapsed to his knees as he struggled to breathe as the affects of being hit by multiple bolts of lightning.
Purple Dragon growls and starts walking over to the Chat Noir to finish the Job when he feels a tap on his shoulder and turns around to receive a red gloved fist to the face that sent him flying through the control building while the storm starts to collapse. Arsene who watched in shock was surprised to see the Strength Miraculous had landed on his best friend. 'Harry' walked forward holding the weather device floating over his head with his other arm where as Marionette was still sitting in her spot where the weather machine had been located as she saw the flash of a transformation but she could not see who had transformed.
Purple Dragon rubbed his jaw as he walked over to 'Harry' wearing a pilots hat that concealed his identity while the he wore a blue muscle shirt and baggy pink pants and red gloves and boots a pair of goggles over his forehead, his skin a pinkish purple tinge. Purple Dragon gets in his face and says, "Attack the black one not me!"
In responce 'Harry' smirks before grabbing the front of Purple Dragon's shirt and speaks terrifying Purple Dragon, "The Murray, does not like bullies," before throwing Purple Dragon into the air and using the weather machine to bat the Purple Dragon with full strength sending him flying all the way to Spain.
Arsene from his hiding spot before transforming into Sly Cooper and walked calmly to Marionette and says, "Well, young Lady it appears that you were victim of a homicidal maniac. In future be careful who you agree to go for a field trip with," Sly walked over to Murray and asks, "How are you feeling Murray?"
"Never Better," The Murray laughs before saying, "We should go before the Authorities decide to rush to the 'hostages' rescue and arrest us," indicating the police who had surrounded the area and adds, "Could really use my van," as if to answer one tricked out van with spoiler and over sized wheels jumped over the police with Sly's symbol on the side and the pair get inside before escaping faster than the police could properly follow before they transformed back leaving them inside Harry's van as it was earlier, and they parked the vehicle as the police drove past at high speed. Harry, breathed deeply and struggled to find the right words to ask, 'What do we do next?'
Arsene chuckles and says, "Well, that was fun. Is your hands okay. They got zapped a lot."
Harry just shrugs even though he was in a lot of pain, though it was a different voice that says, "He is actually in a lot of pain, but my new host has plenty of will power. Where is my manners, I am Hippy, the Hippo Kawami of strength, thank you for saving me from the Seven Lords. Though I must warn both of you, all but Clockwerk are in Paris and they each have a Metal Knight prepared to work with them."
Arsene sighs and says, "Damn," while his eyes closed and he started thinking before his eyes widened in thought. Arsene frowns before asking, "Harry was Marionette wearing black earrings?" Harry nods in acknowledgement and Arsene laughs to himself before saying, "Well that would explain it," Arsene chuckles before his phone rung and he answered and says, "Hey Alya, Ah yeah I am with Harry I am taking him to the Hospital he burnt his fingers badly I was just about to call Harry's dad and get him to pick us up. You call as Harry gave me the number, oh and is Marionette okay?" Ayla answers and Arsene was relieved before he says, "That is good. SO a new hero?" he placed his phone on speaker as Sly appeared to listen.
"Turns out Sly has a partner or at least he does now," Ayla states, "Marionette saw the transformation of The Murray but unfortunately her temporary blindness stopped her from seeing his Identity which I feel sorry about because the muscles on this one," She growls at the memory, "You die happy in them."
Arsene held his comment back at that as Harry blushed. Arsene then says, "Well I can't wait to see the Blog post. Look we got to get Harry to the hospital so see you guys at school and I hope Marionette's eyes are better by then." With that they Arsene hanged up and the four were silent before Arsene says, "Well I have to say for a guy who said that there was no way a girl would like him in a romantic sense will have every girl who enjoys being in the arms of a strapping young lad with arms that could crush a tank in a bear hug," Harry looks at him and silently asking Arsene to shut up only for Arsene to say, "I mean it, if we ever need to distract a girl who wants a gentle lover with your muscles."
Harry rolled his eyes before driving toward Arsene manor and then got a quick lift from Carmelita to the hospital as Harry handed the gloves to Arsene with the intention of getting the back later when he returns to the Deckard Mansion.
With The Beast-An hour later-Private Air Field
The Beast escaped the police due to the word of some kids stating that he turned into a rage monster without being Akumatised or having one of those Miraculous items. Tough they let him go to the hospital by himself due to his experiment malfunctioning. Instead The Beast or Bort as that was his real name was walking into the hanger where the Six Crates holding the Metal Knights with Mechanic doing the final preparations. Bort growls and says, "Purple Dragon's Metal Knight is going to me, he just ruined my plan, only now I have lost my gloves."
Mechanic stopped what she was doing and glitched before she says, "That may become a problem or a time bomb. Purple Dragon's Metal Knight has was created with the Cooper Artefact welds and constructs, with the intention of creating barriers to delay Ladybug and Chat Noir from escaping. Your Metal Knight was designed to really keep you contained so if we combine the two we should be able to capture the gloves back." Bort nods in anger wanting his gloves back.
Marionette's room-After Sunset
Marionette was helped into her room by her mother and when they were inside Marionette's room, Marionette says, "I can take it from here, mom," Marionette's mother a Chinese woman shakes her head causing Marionette to say, "I can see you shaking your head. My eyes are getting better already and I should be able to see by morning at this rate."
Marionette's mother was not really convinced as she says, "Well either way, tomorrow we are going back to the Optometrist and getting an accurate clean bill of health. I will bring up some soup for dinner, so get some rest," Marionette's mom left Marionette to sit on her couch in thought.
Eventually Marionette asks Tikki, "You saw what happened, what was that Miraculous?"
"The Strength Miraculous, otherwise known as the unstoppable object," Tikki answered as she floated in front of Marionette's face as she was able to see Tikki with some more detail.
Marionette asks, "Unstoppable?"
"The concept of the immovable object being hit with the Unstoppable object what happens," Tikki starts before sighing and saying, "It also goes by another name, 'The Stupid Miraculous,' this Miraculous causes the user to become as strong as you are smart but the cost being that your intelligence is inverted."
Marionette frowns before asking, "Wait, then why did The Murray appear so smart?"
Tikki frowns before saying, "Well, I don't know. This Miraculous was used once and it resulted in the creation of the Grand Canyon when someone laughed at his appearance at the time."
Marionette frowns and says, "Why does this sound like whoever has control over the Miraculous decided to give up on the Miraculous."
Tikki simply says, "I do not know, Hippy was part of a different box and," she suddenly covered her mouth in shock at almost admitting a big secret."
"Tikki, I figured there was other Miraculous, I mean Hawkmoth, Sly Cooper, Purple Dragon and The Murray have Miraculous it only makes sense that there are others as well," Marionette brought Tikki into a hug as it calmed Tikki.
With Arsene and Harry-A couple days later
Arsene and Harry walked into school together after Uncle Mark drove them to school after several days of him drinking with Arsene's father. So with a hand from Carmelita who slapped him repeatedly with said hand. Arsene somewhat hated it but that was because he had been running to school since he was nine. Arsene then noticed Marionette wearing some wire rimmed glasses that causes Arsene to ask, "Marionette, is your eyes okay? Why are you wearing glasses?"
Marionette sighs and says, "The Optometrist told me to wear these for a week until my eyes can adjust themselves again. Chloe desperately needs a readjustment more than my eyes do."
With a frown, the pair walks inside only to stop when Marionette saw Adrian who actually paused at the sight of her and was surprised at the glasses and says, "Wow, Marionette, I did not know you needed glasses."
Marionette became a stuttering mess as Arsene sighs and says, "What Marionette is trying to say is that she wants you to take behind the school and inserting your tongue as far down her throat as possible," Arsene looks at Adrien and looks at the ring on his hand and says, "I am sure it will be very enjoyable for the two of you and," Marionette was blushing like mad as Harry grabbed the back of Arsene's shirt and took him into the school with a silent huff.
Adrien raised an eyebrow and looks to Marionette with a strange look, "Look the glasses are temporary until my next check up and about what Arsene was saying," only for Adrien's finger to cover her lips as Adrien smiles.
"Arsene was being Arsene," Adrien starts before saying, "He has always been like that."
"Wait you are friends with Arsene?" Marionette questions.
"Yeah, my father interacted with his parents and the Mayor a lot, Arsene and Chloe were the only kids my age that I hung out with. Though about three years back Arsene refused to be alone in a room with Chloe and all he said for the reason was because of Chloe's mother," Adrien states as they walked into the school where they see Arsene was in a silent headlock that Harry refused to let him go. They were ignored as the rest of the class when to the classroom. Harry and Arsene walked into class with Arsene in the headlock until they were next to Marionette where they stood there for a couple moments.
Arsene sighs and says, "Sorry for humiliating you in front of Adrien, the reason I did it was because he is dumb," Arsene was suddenly dropped by Harry before he stands and follows Harry sitting at their desk at the back.
They were waiting for their teacher who stepped in with a look of worry on Miss Bustier's face as she held a pile of papers and says, "Well, Everyone, each of you have submitted a poem to be read by the one who wrote it. I see the Chloe is not back yet. So I will hold onto hers for now. One of you will not be receiving a poem due to it being unfinished or emailed to me. I must say that each of you will be marking the poems out of five, where it will affect your mark for this portion," With that she handed everyone their poems with the excepting being Arsene and Harry with Arsene laughing at the irony. Miss Bustier then says, "Arsene I would like to speak to you after class," she struggles to smile as she tries to remain calm.
Class went well for the rest of that day until the Principle entered the classroom saying, "I am afraid that a major piece of news has been brought to the cities attention," with that laptop on Miss Bustier's desk and had a youtube video appeared and the class heard that Sly Cooper now has a one million euro bounty on his head causing Arsene to smile and lean back in silent joy, Harry had an eyebrow raised at the news as the Mayor went on about some fake crimes that Sly Cooper did that made him stop in his tracks because he would not touch Chloe with a ten foot pole unless it was to humiliate her and he definitely would not have his way with her. So he pulled out his phone and started posting some old recordings he has of Chloe talking with Sabrina and the messages his parents stating he knew there next target.
Once class was let out for the day Arsene walked up to Miss Bustier and the teacher asks, "I read the Poem you wrote about Chloe. Care to talk about it?"
"Don't need to," Arsene smiles and then starts to walk out the room only for Miss Bustier to stop him.
"Why did you mess with Marionette's poem?" Arsene flinched as Miss Bustier asked the question.
Arsene simply says, "Adrien is not the smartest when it comes to love and frankly sometimes he needs a kick in the teeth to understand the point."
"So including a message of Marionette feeling in such a blunt matter as having the first letter of each line write a message of, 'I, Marionette, want to have your babies,' is a blunt message?" Miss Bustier's question was met with Arsene scratching the back of his head.
"Well was going to mention all the Hamster names she picked out only that poem would have been forty pages long at the smallest font. Anyway, please tell me that you did not change the formatting?" Arsene states only for Miss Bustier to shake her head and give Arsene a disappointed look. Arsene says, "The dumbest part about this is that they actually like each other they just think it is with different people," Arsene nods his head with a condescending smirk before leaving the classroom to find Harry waiting for him and silently giving him a look that spoke, 'You should stop now,' with Arsene saying, "I am sorry, but let's face it those rules stink."
"Rules?" Ayla asks from behind them holding her new phone, "I heard what you did early, care to explain why?"
"I figured if Marionette was embarrassed enough if front of Adrien she would accidently say something that would have Adrien pay attention to her," Arsene states with a smirk, "Or she and Adrien would have gone to the Janitor's closet like you and Nino last week," only to punched in the shoulder by Alya as she blushed and getting a laugh out of Arsene. Harry shakes his head as he started walking away as Arsene says, "Come on Harry, you know as well as I do that it happens more often than you think."
They went outside where they saw that Adrien was saying 'bye' to Marionette where Arsene was smiling at the idea of being at least noticed by Adrien, so at least part of Arsene's plan was in the starting phase. Arsene was smiling as Marionette was waving goodbye as Nino stepped over and says, "Marionette is really cute with those glasses."
Arsene smiles and says, "Well, unfortunately Nino you have no chance with her now. Only I know how why," Arsene chuckles as he walked with Harry to Uncle Mark's van and went home where the two went down to the training room where Harry and Hippy went into the muscle chamber of the training rooms where he lifted doors that were steadily increased in weight without turning into The Murray, until the twentieth door and proceeded through the remaining hundred doors that was the full course while Arsene was running through the Cooper Parkore course at its hardest difficulty with moving sections and random death traps that was never the same each time.
The pair proceeded to repeat this until sunset where they would leave for the Mayor's Hotel, where they missed a Chat Noir copy cat pretending to be Chat Noir and framing him for stealing the Moana Lisa, all because of a statue they were unveiling that afternoon. With that Ladybug caught the Akuma, undoing the damages and redeeming the real Chat Noir.
Mayor's Hotel-After Sunset
Sly Cooper held his phone up as he recorded a wigged Chloe where she was dressed as Ladybug with Sabrina dressed as Chat Noir. Sly dropped his goggles and says, "Chloe always complaining to her father and yet she makes it so easy."
The Murray spoke, "Yeah and she is always complaining to her father, meaning the best way to ensure she cannot use her dad would be to have him removed from the governing body," causing Sly's eyes to widened and an ferral smirk to appear on his face before he drew an insignia card and through it across the open space between the two buildings that destroyed her wig by cutting it in half.
Sly laughed and rushed away and says to Murray through his goggles, "Well Chloe is vain as ever. Meaning when she returns to school she will probably 'accidently' leave her costume in her Locker and make sure that some one sees."
The Murray says, "Well then we should keep an eye on Chloe, while we make a plan to replace the Mayor. Perhaps your Father can handle this role."
Sly smirks as he rushes back to The Murray's Van and landed on top before it sped away faster then everything the police had access to.
A week later-Marionettes room-after the return from the optometrist.
Marionette was sitting at her desk 'staring' at her glasses in shock as she just learnt that the damage to her eyes were permanent and without a major surgery her family cannot afford, plus the fact that the surgery has a higher chance of failure and making her eyes worse. So here she was staring at the blurry outline of her glasses as she sighs and places them on and says, "I guess I have to accept the new me," that was when Tikki appeared.
Tikki says, "It is okay Marionette, previous Ladybug's have had need of glasses in the past, meaning it will be even easier concealing your identity."
Marionette frowns and says, "That not the problem Tikki. It's just I feel like my world is going to crashed down around me," she sighs and says, "I think I will just lie down," she goes to do just that only to hear an alert on her phone, 'An Akuma has taken over all the helicopters in the city and is threatening to have them crash,' Marionette transforms and swings away to the scene and was thankful that she was not at school today due to the doctor visit and managed to save the day alone as Chat Noir was stuck in school not hearing the alert. While Sly was actually Arsene and keeping an eye on Chloe that day.
The next day-Dopant Academy-morning
Arsene watched from the side lines as Ayla was trying to get a picture of Chloe's locker, nothing that would get her in trouble only a photo as Nino was distracting Chloe. Sabrina caught Alya and Kim took her phone before taking Ayla to the principal's office with Arsene following them and was silent in the room where Chloe went into a rant about Ayla stealing from her and threatening the school to have Ayla expelled with her phone when Arsene spoke up surprising everyone besides the Principal of him being there, "Chloe had a Ladybug costume in her locker and Ayla was following a reporter lead of the 'real' identity of Ladybug and forgot to check her facts. Ladybug was spotted fighting an Akuma yesterday while Chloe was in class the whole day."
Ayla frowns at that before asking, "How do you know that?"
"I know Chloe," Arsene states before looking to the Principal and says, "I will be informing my parents about this as they are members of the board. So you can fall to the threats of a child or those who actually have the power to end you."
"My father will end him right now if he does not expel Ayla," Chloe shouts with a victorious look as the Principal sighs.
"I am afraid Ayla, you are suspended at least for three days," the Principal states getting an outraged look from Chloe before he says, "That is the maximum suspension due to lack of evidence, though while she is suspended a full investigation will be carried out and if the suspension is indeed a false charge then action will be taken against those responsible."
Chloe was still smirking at Ayla, knowing that she would not get in trouble as Ayla stands and says, "Well this is going on the Student Blog," only for Chloe to pull out her phone.
The Principal sighs and says, "Until this matter is resolved all school based blogs are closed for as long as I deem this necsary for this matter to be resumed," Ayla was shocked and angrily left the room for her suspension as Chloe left the room with Sabrina and Kim.
Arsene waited for the Principal to be alone and says, "Well, considering that you have no evidence of the contrary I suggest you call her parents and tell them what has happened. Or more specifically why she was given a half day and how the Blog were not shut down and that she is expected to return tomorrow," the principal nods in agreement as Arsene walks out the Principal's office as his cell phone went off and an Akumatised Ayla appeared in his office.
Arsene walked to his class where he finds Marionette running to the office, Marionette asking, "Do you know why Ayla was expelled?"
Arsene sighs and says, "She was sent home for the rest of the day, the Principle should have called her parents and I was about to call my dad. Just to be clear, Chloe did this intentionally."
Marionette's eyes widened behind her glasses as she says, "I have to speak with the Principal," She starts away.
Arsene nods before saying, "Well I am going to return to class have fun," Arsene left Marionette to her plans of helping her friend. Arsene pulled out his phone before the Akumatised Ayla appeared on screen. Arsene sighs as she then threatens to reveal Ladybug's Identity. Arsene used his phone to call his parents and says, "Reveal your running for mayor tonight dad," as several kids were walking pass including Chloe, who shouts 'what?' Arsene ignored her as he starts walking out the school with Harry walking with him. Harry was silent until they were alone and he stopped Arsene who says, "No I don't think she will reveal the identity of Ladybug. Magic is involved," Harry silently stares at him causing Arsene to sigh and says, "I have better things to do then save Chloe, now come on Mom said that she should have some information on the Beast, a dumb thing revealing himself and loosing the gloves. They safe?" Harry pulled his sleeves back and nods with a light smile.
Arsene returned the smile as Chat Noir pole vaulted above them, heading to Chloe's home at the Mayor's Hotel. That night the city was privy to Ladybug saving Chat Noir from freezing to death and then defeating one of their hardest battles yet, a teleporting Akuma with the ability to shape and warp their environment. Unfortunately this battle was also seen by Clockwerk's Generals, including Purple Dragon who was just now returning to the city after walking from the Spanish coast.
That night-The Beast and Mechanics' Hanger-Midnight
Sin Queen sits in a chair along with all the Generals, sitting around a bench where they waited for The Beast and Mechanic to finish calibrating the Metal Knights for everyone besides Purple Dragon as he did not care that he lost it. Next to her is Jimmy Cricket, wearing a green suit pair of fancy glasses and top hat. Next to Purple Dragon was Speed Freak, wearing a blue skating suit, with bladed helmet and visor, around his right wrist was a golden hoop bracelet, his feet was on the desk revealing black burnt out shoes. Sin Queen finally spoke up, "I suggest that everyone hurries up with their plans for Purple Dragon, only four of us are left for his punishment."
Purple Dragon was silent as he was annoyed being here. The answer came from Mechanic as she steps into the room and says, "Then we shall collect more Data, I suggest that Speed Freak and Jimmy's plans are used to get the information on their abilities. I have come up with a series of plans to achieve this. I suggest that Jimmy goes next and uses his abilities on Purple Dragon from a concealed location."
Jimmy nods in understanding while Purple Dragon just shrugs and says, "Whatever, just give me a chance against 'The Murray' that bastard surprised me, it won't happen again."
"Please, you were always scared of The Beast and knew his strength. What makes a kid who lucked out on it?" Speed Freak questioned.
Purple Dragon simply says, "He talked," that actually surprised everyone.
Mechanic started calculating and says, "Then we should postpone all attempts at Ladybug, Chat Noir, Sly Cooper and The Murray until after I have calculated for this new information," Mechanic then leaves while everyone processes the information.
Speed Freak then comments, "Perhaps when we do the puppet show, two of us should be there," getting nods from everyone.
The next day-Under the Eiffel Tower-With Devon Deckard-Lunch time
Devon was sitting in his wheelchair, reading through several cards behind the podium that he was about to give a speech to the growing crowd of reporters, behind the crowd is Arsene, Harry, Nino, Adrien, Marionette wearing her glasses and Ayla waiting with Carmelita as the clock almost struck twelve thirty to the side. Devon rolled up the podium and sat behind the microphone and says, "Afternoon and thank you for all coming to listen to me ramble for a few minutes," that gets a chuckle from everyone while Ayla had been recording the information for the school Blog and probably the Ladyblog. Devon then continues when everyone has calmed down, "For the last twenty years Andre Bourgious, has been mayor longer then his allowed mainly due to lack of opposing candidates to choose from," there was murmurs of the crowd as Devon finally says, "Due to an abuse of power, not his own but that of his daughter. I am joining the race to become Mayor of Paris," with that the reporters all started shouting the questions over each other.
Arsene smiles as Carmelita shakes her head and comments, "Least he won't get a big head."
Adrien though spoke up, "Wait your Dad is running for Mayor because of Chloe?"
Arsene looks at him silently while everyone just accepted it, Harry nodding as Arsene says, "Chloe is evil, not even an Akuma or superhero could change that," with that Arsene and Harry start walking back to school while Nino, Ayla and Marionette could only agree.
Adrien though simply comments, "That seems a bit petty."
Carmelita laughs and says, "With what the good mayor has done these last couple years, he is lucky not to be in prison for his daughter."
That Moment-Mayor's Hotel-Chloe's room
Gobal Police investigator and undercover agent Noel Takeo, wearing a white uniform with gold markings, was speaking with the Mayor and his Daughter about the 'Actions' of one Sly Cooper. Noel was frowning as Chloe was explaining how she was 'Raped' by Sly Cooper and nothing was adding up like it originally did. Noel then asks, "So, Sly Cooper broke into your room at the Hotel, this one, and assaulted you stealing your 'Innocence' and then stealing several valuable jewels that your father bought to replace the jewels that you had stolen first?"
The Mayor stands and says, "Are you implying that my Daughter is lying?" his question full of anger.
"Yes," Noel states with no nonsense and continues before the Mayor could 'fire' him, "There is no evidence that your Daughter was raped, if it had happened you should have gone to police and then had the DNA evidence given to the police and legally done this before having a ransom placed on the thief. Also don't try and threaten me, your daughter has given me three different stories in the last ten minutes, while every officer that came to get a comment has been given a different story and time. To top it off your Daughter posted thirty different versions of the same story online in a single day. Plus there is other claims that have recently come to light with pictures of an attempted rape perpetrated by Chloe here which failed due to a mistake in which glass had been drugged for an attempt to black mail on a boy her age. Two years ago."
Chloe was shocked before she stands and shouts, "LIES! I did nothing of the sort," only for the phone to be shown to Chloe of Sabrina placing a pill in two different glasses by mistake and then drunk by Sabrina and Chloe and a recording of Chloe telling Sabrina to commit the act. Meaning Noel had a confession of attempted Raped as Chloe in the recording had explained the entire plan for the victim, where the whole plan was to blackmail the real victim. Who in response says with a distorted voice, 'Most people in this situation would taken advantage. But the sight of Chloe disgusts me.' Noel lowered his phone at the shocked Chloe and Mayor before Noel says, "The only change to the video and the images is the blurring of the victim's face and the distortion of the voice, time stamped two years ago."
The Mayor simply says, "It is clearly fake," Chloe nodding along.
"Then this interview is over, the best computers and this is enough to have your Daughter sent to prison," Noel starts to leave quickly and when he was at the door simply says, "Along with Sabrina," Noel leaves the apartment while Chloe went straight to her phone, that Noel had a warrant to listen to all her calls. Noel then brings up a list of those related to Chloe and Noel knew where to go to speak to them.
Dopent Academy-An hour later
Chloe never returned for the day, missing an important test that she was not going to be able to copy off of Sabrina. Once the test was over the Principal walked in with Noel Takeo and introduced him as he says, "Students, This is special investigator Noel Takeo he is interviewing several students relating to the Cooper case."
Noel smiles at everyone and says, "I would like to speak with, Marionette Dupane Cheng, Adrien Augustine, Sabrina Roger and Arsene Deckards please." Arsene frowns at that before Noel Comments, "I have already contacted your guardians and have their permission to ask my questions. I would prefer that you are all honest with me."
Sabrina was hesitant while the others nodded in understanding. Harry looks to Arsene who says, "I will see you at home later," Harry nods at it before Arsene and the others follow the Principal to his office while Sabrina was the first inside speaking with Noel and would have had the Principal in with them except Noel simply said that this was confidential interview.
Adrien sat with Marionette while Arsene sat a little away from them. Adrien asks Marionette with some confusion, "I noticed that you are still wearing those glasses. Is everything okay?"
Marionette frowns before saying quickly, "Um well my Optometrist said to wear them for a little longer and well," Marionette was lying about them being temporary.
Adrien simply says, "Well they make you look very cute," causing Marionette to blush and mimic a tomato confusing Adrien.
Arsene smirks at that as they continue to talk between the two before seeing a upset Sabrina walking out the room with a frown having talked with Noel about Chloe. Adrien and Marionette was interviewed individually before they were free to go home Marionette wearing her glasses somewhat upset for being reminded about her glasses when Noel guessed about the glasses being permanent. Arsene was then directed by Noel to come in and takes a seat.
Noel then asks from the other side of the Principal's desk and asks, "You are the one who released the information on Chloe correct?"
Arsene simply says, "Yes. As the recording stated, Chloe attempted to drug me though I have yet to understand how Sabrina mistakenly drugged two glasses."
Noel smiles and says, "Simple, Sabrina was going to drug both of you to stop any chance of Chloe's plan working. Apparently her Mother put her up to it. That was all," Noel then turned off the recording device before saying, "Now, off the record, Mister Cooper," Arsene did nothing to display how shocked he was as Noel continues, "I am a member of the Arsene Family. Basically I am not going to arrest you all I ask is that every so often you give me details on those you steal from."
Arsene looks at him before chuckling and says, "funny, but I am no Sly Cooper," Arsene smiles and starts to walk away only for Noel to place an item on the table, A Cooper Artefact, this just became serious. It was a small engine that has the output of a large jet engine in the size of a small shoe box.
Noel says, "This is an item the Cooper Family traded with Arsene Lupin three hundred years ago. The Metal Knight that you fought appears to be a replication of Ganglers which in both my lines of work is a bad thing. Which is why we hope the Cooper Engine Booster, will help you and when you recover the Lupin Relic that was stolen from your father fifteen years ago you will share it with me," he hands Arsene his card and then leaves him to his thoughts. Arsene collected the engine and placed it in his bag before walking out the office leaving the Principal to return to his office. Arsene then pulled out his phone and calls his father.
"Dad, I just had a talk with a member of Global Police about what Chloe tried a couple years back," Arsene states before saying, "He knows who I am."
"I know, he can be trusted an old friend arrived after my speech and informed me of what the issue is. And has given us Details on The Beast and Mechanic," Devon states before adding, "Head home, you are going on a trip," Arsene hangs up before he ran to the roof tops and started running home and getting their quickly.
Noel Takeo was walking from the school as he calmly started walking to Marionette's bakery in order to get his favourite cakes for after a dinner he intended to share with an old friend and his colleagues. He was suddenly stopped by a Police Officer Roger was standing in front of him and says, "Mister Taco, you are under arrest for disrupting a police investigation."
Noel blinks before saying, "You are mistaken," he shows his Global Justice Identification and then says, "And I have a Warrant to arrest your Daughter along with the Mayor's Daughter. So you should stand down and let me do my job before you are demoted by the people who actually have the power to do so."
Noel smiles and walks away from the police officer with a casual wave before using his ID to grapple in the direction of Marionette's Bakery as Marionette was entering and orders a chocolate cake for the evening.
That night-Arsene's room-before dinner.
Arsene was on his computer while Harry was playing a game on a handheld gaming console basically getting the high scores, higher than most world records. Arsene through was looking through the new information they had received, Clockwerk's Generals had been meeting at a private airfield on the edge of Paris. Though it appears that The Beast and Mechanic was spotted and then traced heading to Italy and which just so happened to be The Beast's home address. A mansion built on a old fortress with a small town around it. That was where they were heading to next, but for an unknown reason. Arsene and Devon both agreed that is where Arsene and Harry would be heading tomorrow, until the next Sunday which was a couple hours journey if they took The Murray's van.
Carmelita's voice was then heard as she says, "Arsene, Harry Dinner!" the two stopped doing what they were relaxing with. They left the room and went to the dining room where they saw Noel Takeo outside of uniform and an old gentlemen wearing a butler's uniform.
Noel smiles and says, "Hello again Arsene," Harry looked ready for a fight only for Noel to raise a hand and say, "We are not here to fight, Mister Kogare has found a lead on the Cooper Family Artefacts that we thought you should know."
Arsene glares at Noel while Devon wheels into the room and says, "Yes, introductions have been made and now we should talk business. Oh and Harry, your father is currently installing the engine that Noel here gave Arsene. With it you should be able to transform you van into a combat form and alternate vehicle forms. Wish I had had it during my time, we would probably still have the original Cooper Mobile."
Arsene and Harry sit opposite Noel and Kogure, as Kogure starts speaking, "Yes, the information that I have for you is very disconcerting. The Beast and Mechanic have a genetics lab under The Beast's residence it is a key component the Metal Knight making process. My investigation has revealed that they are using a couple vials of blood from a member of the Cooper Family. One appeared to be very old while the other appears more recent about fifteen to twenty years old."
"That could explain why they can use them," Arsene states only for Noel to frown.
Noel says, "It is worse now, it appears that they no longer need the samples for the Metal Knights. And have shifted their focus on weaponising the sample. To use against the Cooper Family planning to combine it with a highly toxic virus."
Arsene frowns before asking, "How far are they?"
Kogure says, "Three days into the start of their research. They are months away from any type of weapon."
Arsene frowns and leans back in his chair as Carmelita walks into the room with Uncle Mark holding pushing a tray of dinner for everyone. Having a nice dinner with Carmelita talking with Noel about being both a criminal and policeman, a necessary evil due to the nature of the Lupin Collection that could kill a lot of people in the wrong hands and if they were activated. Devon spoke with Kogure, who spoke about some individuals that he had chosen to collect the collection from alien monsters from another dimension though more recently all the collection the 'Ganglers' had stolen was recovered all the remaining collection were those given out by Arsene Lupin. Arsene and Harry silently watched the two the whole night before Noel revealed bringing chocolate cake and Harry getting a large piece not minding Noel now that bought a delicious cake for them.
The rest of the night was business as normal as Noel and Kogure had to leave to return to the Lupin Mansion leaving it mostly unguarded for the night. Arsene and Harry packed to drive to Italy that night, and took the information Kogure supplied of the locations. Once in the car they transformed into Sly Cooper and The Murray and used Murray's van to rocket out the city at high speed and out of Paris before anyone really took notice.
With The Beast and Mechanic-The next morning.
The pair of Clockwerk's generals where walking into The Beast's home, (The mansion from Hitman 2016, the level where you have to destroy the virus weapon.) above them a young a child with a shaved head stared at them with a tired and ill looking, wearing a white set of clothes. The pair of Generals walked into the house, not noticing Harry watching them wearing special sun glasses that recorded everything he saw as he sat on a bench across from the mansion.
The Beast walked ahead of the Mechanic who suddenly started collapsing only to be caught by The Beast, with eye sight of the door where Arsene could be seen standing on a balcony with smoke coming out the room behind him.
The Beast asks, "Your Glitches are getting worst?"
Mechanic simply says, "Twenty four hours until the next update, ensure that our replacement Hardware is ready for the conversion process," with that the Mechanic walked out of visual range of Arsene before The Beast walked to the side where a set of stairs.
Arsene after readying their lips frowns at everything before noticing The Beast speaking with the child, "Tomorrow morning you will be completing your purpose, so return to your imprinting," The Beast pulled the child from the window where Arsene notices what appears to be VR goggles that glowed purple.
Arsene frowns before saying into his ear piece, "Harry move to observation point two, watch the target for ten minutes then move to point three and then go for a walk and spend some time scanning anything that you find interesting." Harry said nothing as he stood up with his news paper and starts walking into town and down to the beach to sit at the docks and get a scan of that side of the mansion. Arsene walked into the art studio where the artist was smoking pot, and waved Arsene off as he counted the stack of Euros he had been given to let Arsene use his studio. Arsene walked out the back of the studio and proceeded to climb up a wall and get to the top of a tower to get a better look at the roof. He spent five minutes noticing the balconies on the roof and nods understanding somewhat of the layout at the front of the mansion. When they came in he saw the watch tower at the front of the property. He noticed that he could get a closer look on that side but he knew that it would be only for recon as he would not be able to escape with what he could steal. Arsene used his binoculars to look over the roof and noticed a door way into the attic that he could use to get in. Arsene then steps back away from the edge of the tower before jumping off the back and grappling down the side of the building where he quickly walked down to the beach before he noticed Harry moving from his position on his bench before walking towards the tunnel under the manor past a wall that appears to be clear on the other side due to the lights coming from the holes in the wall. Harry then walked his way to the pier under the mansion.
Arsene walked over to the church where he proceeded to the back of the church where he walked past the confessional where the Priest stepped out and spotted him walking to the back of the Church only to be stopped by the priest who says, "I am sorry you can't go back there."
Arsene frowns at that before he says, "I have a confession, can we," he gestured to the confessional both and the two take their positions before Arsene says, "I am a member of the Cooper family."
The Priest was silent for a full minute before sighing and says, "Of course you are, should have noticed the hair. What is your intentions?"
"I am planning to break into the mansion on the cliff, they are building weapons inside and I intend to stop them before returning to Paris. The Church and the Cooper Family may have a strained relationship but," Arsene states before the Priest interrupts.
"Ten minutes that is as long as you spend up on the tower. Though there is a stone path under the mansion that is guarded by a camera. A scientist has been coming to confession everyday of the week at eleven in the morning after one scientist was killed in an accident. I have seen the body, he was choked to death by a pair of hands larger than anything natural. Be careful my son and remember twenty Hail Marys and a donation to the church and you will be forgiven for your transgressions," the priest states.
Arsene chuckles and says, "That is if I want forgiveness, but consider the donation completed," the priest frowns as silence was left as he stepped out the booth and looked in the other both to find it empty and a stack of Euros where Arsene had been sitting.
Arsene was already half way up the steps leading to the bell tower where he pulled out his binoculars and looked to the Mansion and noticed a door leading to a balcony and saw the Mechanic walking from where the priest stated had a secret door and onto the same pier that Harry was 'reading' on. Arsene looked at her and noticed the roboticness of her motions and realised what she meant about an Upgrade and looked to the pen on her ear.
The Invention Miraculous, known for its power to create and invent new technology. It was the reason for all the myths of Atlantis being a technologic marvel or how the Olympians had been considered gods after inventing technology so advanced that it was mistaken for magic at the time. There was one side effect though of this Miraculous, it's Kawami would upgrade the user to the point where it was no longer human as it combined technology and elements around the host during the Upgrade process, meaning that the child could be an attempt of keeping Mechanic's humanity. Arsene frowns at that having gotten everything that he wanted for the moment as he spoke over the radio to Harry, "Harry finish up, I am going to return to the Hideout." With that he walked down the steps and snuck away from the church as the Priest placed the Euros into the donation box.
Arsene returned to the Van just outside the village parked next to the front gate and started going over the plans of the Mansion getting a basic blue print of the building memorised in his head. Harry returned silently as he sat in the back of the empty rear of the Van as Arsene frowns at the plans.
Arsene suddenly says, "We are breaking in tonight. A kid is in danger and we need to help them before The Beast and Mechanic kills the kid. Best course of action would be to break in from the side or the roof. Arsene then says, "We will enter from the cave below the mansion where the Lab is then I can sneak my way up and get the kid. Harry you transform and when I am ready for an escape you transform and through a car through the front entrance and then the three of us will head back to Paris." Harry nods as the two waited for night time.
In the hidden Lab in an open cave located under the Mansion-After Midday
The Beast was constructing what could be considered a Metal Knight only appearing more as a muscle suit with two safes located on each shoulder, only these safes were golden and had two dials. Mechanic was standing next to the alloy replicator as The Beast used the last of the Cooper Blood they had access to. Not that it would matter tomorrow as Mechanic smiles and glitches painfully. Mechanic calmed down and proceeded with collecting the new pieces of technology she would be installing with her upgrade, several weapons and a Cooper Artefact that gives the user the power of illusions, an old piece pipe.
The Beast was testing his new suit with a minion where they moved an arm resulting in it shattering on him and him screaming in pain before the minion was silenced forever by a Roboguard snapping his neck. The Beast growls and starts reducing the output of the motors while thinking of a way to protect himself while getting maximum results. The two generals ignored each other as they worked through the night.
With Sly Cooper-Sunset
Arsene was in the watch tower at the front of the house as he transformed into Sly Cooper and planned to get inside. Sly climbed up before ducking back down as a guard was keeping watch. Sly then snuck back down and the proceeded to climb along the cliff face and over the cave to look inside and what he found disturbed him as he saw The Beast testing a metal suit with a pile of dead bodies next to him and
Mechanic to the side where she was preparing a sealed room with items she had selected, a pair of Maids with strange collars helping her and the Cooper Peace Pipe just laying there ready to be stolen. Sly climbed inside where he used the rock spires hanging from the roof above the lights in the room. Sly managed to get above the Peace Pipe and tied his grappling hook on the roof before lowering himself to the pipe, stealing it and then vanishing back to the roof and looks for a way inside only to see a biometric locks on each door out the lab though a rock path can be seen heading to the guard tower behind the mansion. Sly though returns the way he came and starts this infiltration and climbs up the bushes and stone wall to climb onto a balcony that leads to the attic. He walks to the side and notices a security system in the room and throws an insignia card at it only this alerts Mechanic who discovers the loss of the Peace Pipe and silently has all the RoboGuards search the building.
Arsene walks up a set of stairs to the attic two see two guards inside, though they are human trying to break into a safe while bickering, "Seriously, you saw what The Beast has in here. That diamond could mean that we live like kings for the rest of our lives." The other guard states, "Or get killed for looking in his Private Safe. Seriously why does he have such a crappy old safe for when he could build a high-tech one or something." the First guard states, "That is the thing, The Beast has intel on ClockWerk in here and he does not trust the other Generals from stealing it."
Sly smiles behind them and says, "In that case I think I will take them," before the guards could do anything but nod, Sly slammed their heads together with a smile. Sly then touched the safe and started spinning the dial and opening the safe to see a bundle of documents, on Clockwerk and the other Generals besides The Beast and smiles as he says, "Oh, everything they can all do, this will be useful," that was when the door he entered from was about to be opened so he quickly grabs a large red ruby and places the items in his pack before escaping through the other door and found himself on the roof. Sly then looks to the balcony below him and found it empty so he drops down and looks over the side to see the window the child had been in and lowered himself down. Surprising a kid who had been staring into the town outside with a look of longing, the kid fell back as Sly stood on the window sill. Sly says, "Hey, Kid sorry for dropping in but I," he looked down at the ground and saw that the kid's feet was bare and chained together with golden metal that caused Sly to say, "Spring you from this room."
The kid looked at him with a frown and noticed the watch on his wrist and says, "And what become your servant instead?"
Sly simply walks into the bare room where he sees a trey of uneaten food at the desk, while on the bed was a pair of purple VR goggles that was on a manikin head as it displayed information the kid was meant to be learning. Sly says, "Actually I came to steal from The Beast and Mechanic. So far I am tempted to add the destruction of the entire building. So want to stay here and suffer or come with me to Paris where you can go outside and play with kids your age."
"I am not my age," the Kid stated in annoyance before saying, "It is not much of a choice though, I have escaped before only to be caught soon after," she indicates the chain binding her ankles and says, "All they have to do to catch me is press a button and the chain retracts and then sends out a homing signal that I can only deactivate if they are removed."
Sly looks at the metal and gives it a tap before smiling and says, "I have a friend who can remove them, all you have to do is come with me," Sly offered a hand to the kid before the kid looked to the room and then the visor the kid was meant to be wearing. The kid then turned to Sly and takes the hand before Sly pulls the kid onto his back and had the kid hold himself around his neck where Sly noticed that the kid was a girl and so with a frown he lowered his goggles and says, "Murray we need that distraction make it a bit larger then we intended though."
The Murray responded with, "The Murray shall ensure that they will not know what hit them," With that Sly used his cane to grapple away with the girl on his back as suddenly from the docks a large yacht travelled through the air and smashed through what appeared to be an observatory and into the mansion's backyard as Sly swung above the entrance to the town and waited as The Murray's Van drove past to latch on and escape before the guards or the town guard could find them.
The Girl held on tightly as the Van sped out of town and through the tunnel, enjoying the speed they were going, when Sly shouts, "Murray, need you to stop the Van quickly and remove these things from the girls ankles!"
The Murray had his arm outside the window for Sly to hand her over feet first only for The Murray to pinch the golden cuffs on her ankles and snapping them off without hurting the girl before pulling her inside and into the passenger seat and absentmindedly placing the seat belt over her. The Girl then looks into the back of the Van where Arsene's Laptop was left and grabbed the computer where she opens the device and with little effort used the laptop to learn about the outside world, a task that almost broke Arsene's laptop with all the hacking she did without trying.
Back in Paris-An hour before Sly's heist.
Purple Dragon and Jimmy Cricket were waiting for an Akuma to be created. Which it was when Officer Roger's was fired for failing to arrest Noel Takeo. So Purple Dragon waited as Ladybug and Chat Noir arrived before looking to Jimmy and says, "Why don't you take over that policeman while I attack the two heroes?" Jimmy nods from his position in front of several televisions before Purple Dragon stepped out the back of the van they were in and charged at Ladybug and Chat Noir, fighting RogerCop. An armoured policeman with lasers, judgment beams that force people to do what they say and a flying car.
Purple Dragon rushed towards them as the kid friendly Robocop aimed at him only to stiffen and say, "Something is wrong, losing control of body. Cannot comply with orders," and started firing red and blue judgment beams at everything. Including the police officers that were now following RogerCop's orders by decree of the Mayor, so now the police were stuck with their hands cuffed and unable to move. Ladybug and Chat Noir were now fighting the Akuma and Purple Dragon, both of which were fighting in perfect harmony, even Purple Dragon was avoiding attacking Rogercop.
Ladybug was the first to comment as she was defending herself from Rogercop, "Something is not right. Purple Dragon is holding back," she then squinted and asks, "are those strings?" where she noticed that Rogercop was aiming to the side with one arm and fired a single beam that she had to dive out the way to hit.
Rogercop was still speaking, "Hostile entity taken control of body. Cannot comply! Cannot Comply! Help! Help!"
Ladybugs eyes widened as Chat Noir starts, "Wait, has Hawkmoth lost control."
The answer came from a sudden beam coming flying from behind them causing one of the strings controlling Rogercop to vanish and him to regain control of his arm and then shooting himself with the capture beam by mistake. Ladybug looked behind herself to see Noel Takeo holding what appeared to be a pair of toy trains like a gun. Noel then spoke up, "Scottish Brawler also known as Purple Dragon, you are under arrest for several counts of murder, kidnapping, extortion and everything else Interpol has listed you have committed."
Purple Dragon snorted in amusment before saying, "That is funny," as Chat Noir suddenly stiffened and was trying to interrupt, "Because I am going to kill you for your interruption."
Suddenly Chat Noir shout, "M'lady duck," as suddenly his staff tried to take off her head."
"What are you doing Chat?" Ladybug shouts as she dodged his staff.
"I think whatever happened to Rogercop is happening to me!" Chat Noir shouts as suddenly he threw his staff towards Noel who side stepped the staff.
"Young Ladybug, perhaps you can subdue your partner while I handle Purple Dragon," with that Noel raised his weapon and says, "Kasatsu Change," with that he rotated the weapon so that the gold train was pointing up and pulls the trigger resulting in a holographic police badge appeared about his head and dropped covering him in a golden suit and with him holding a blue baton like weapon. Noel then introduced himself, "Patran X. By order of Global Justice you are under arrest," X then charged forward and with a flip managed to hit the back of Purple Dragon's head knocking him out the way as X kicked him in the back.
Purple Dragon became extra angry as X constantly avoided his attacks and only counter attacked. Ladybug eventually managed to use her Yoyo to bind Chat Noir enough so that he could not move, but managed to say, "Wow, M'lady. Are you going to have your way with me?" he wiggled his eye brows until he noticed that Ladybug suddenly stiffened and Chat Noir was suddenly able to feel his limbs again. "M'Lady?"
Ladybug was starting to panic as suddenly she was throwing Chat Noir still bound with her yoyo into a building and says, "Chat it is affecting me now!" Chat's eyes widened in shock as he tried to look around for the source while Rogercop was on his back trying to knock his whistle into his mouth where he could free himself. Ladybug suddenly pulls back causing her to shout, "Chat use your Cataclysm on my yoyo string!"
Chat Noir noticed the panic in Ladybug's eyes as the cables started tightening, "Cataclysm!" Chat to lightly touched the string of her yoyo causing the cable to snap as it continued to tighten. Chat Noir relaxed before suddenly dropping his weapon and kicking it to Ladybug as he felt whatever was controlling him take affect again. Ladybug noticed she was suddenly freed before Chat's weapon rolled to her and suddenly Chat was trying to claw her. She used his staff to protect herself before Chat spoke again, "This is crazy, someone must be doing this nearby. Definitely not an Akuma!"
Ladybug nods as she struggled against Chat Noir and was happy that Chat could control himself if he could physically over power her. Ladybug was silent before she noticed behind Chat a black van with the words colourful flowers written on the side and then noticed the cameras covering the vehicle. So she placed a foot on Chat Noir's chest and kicked him towards the vehicle and then flipped it using his staff resulting in Jimmy Cricket climbing out the back and raising his hands as suddenly Chat Noir was choking himself with both hands. Jimmy Cricket says, "If you don't want your lover to die then you will hand over your Miraculous!" in responce he suddenly had X's baton flying through the air and colliding with his face and freeing Chat Noir.
X simply says, "Perhaps you should fix what Rogercop caused while I arrest the criminals."
Ladybug helps Chat Noir up before throwing the head of her Yoyo into the air and calling out, "Lucky Charm," and in response she gets a butterfly net. Ladybug smiles before with Chat Noir the pair head over to Rogercop still trying to blow his whistle before Chat grabbed the item and then crushed it releasing the Akuma that was then caught in the butterfly next before she handed it to Chat and prepared her broken Yoyo and caught the black butterfly and released it before shouting, "Miraculous Ladybug," and repairing all the damage caused by Roger Cop.
X had Purple Dragon's gem red before he made himself scarous and quickly escaped before he was defeated leaving Jimmy to Control someone else to tackle X's side before vanishing himself. X was freed when the random policeman was freed from the strings controlling them. X sighs and says, "Almost had them. Oh la la, guess I will have to continue my investigation," he turns to Ladybug and Chat Noir and says, "You two better get out of here, you are almost out of time. I will be speaking at a press conference tomorrow so please get your answers from that. Aduie," and turned his back to the two super heroes who made their escape in two different directions. X transformed back into Noel and walked over to Officer Roger and says, "The Mayor has no say on firing you. It will be part of the charges placed against him," he helps Officer Rogers to his feet and then walks away.
Noel smiles as he suddenly gets a call from Kogure, who says, "The Cooper Gang has robbed The Beast and Mechanic, from what I can tell it was profitable to them. And they used a boat as a distraction to escape," Noel has a good laugh at that before Kogure hangs up and contacts his boss where he informs his bosses of a Sly Cooper Heist in Italy and then looks at the time and decides to go out for dinner.
The next day-Marionette's room-Saturday-Morning
Marionette frowns as she was surprised that Sly never showed up during the battle, which as she was reading, discovered it was because he left Paris, to go to Italy where he stole from a house that was abandoned earlier today. Marionette frowns as she sees images of what The Murray can do with the Yacht.
Marionette then asks, "What is Patran X?"
Tikki appears from behind her and says, "A member of the Lupin Family," Marionette looks at her strangely before Tikki adds, "That family can be trusted because he informed the Guardians about the secret of the Lupin Collection before he gave them a Collection Piece, but I don't know where it went."
Marionette frowns at that before saying, "Well, we know he is a police officer maybe he could help us with Sly Cooper."
Tikki shakes her head and says, "No, Sly Cooper will just see it as a way to enjoy the chase." Marionette frowns at that as she leans back in her chair in front of her computer as she saw an image of the yacht as it was parked behind the mansion a hundred feet above the ocean below. Marionette was deep in thought as her mother called her down for lunch.
That Night-Deckard Mansion-Fireplace entrance to the training room and Hidden Cooper Entrance.
Devon and Carmelita were relaxing in his wheel chair as they enjoyed making out as they relaxed for the night. The pair was enjoying themselves when the fire place opened up revealing Arsene and Harry returning early. Arsene covered his eyes as when he saw his parents enjoying themselves before Devon asks, "You two are back early, how was the Heist?"
Arsene with his eyes covered simply says, "Well, we had to rush. Mechanic was planning an upgrade and," Arsene reached behind him and patted the girl's shoulder and says, "A life was in danger. This is Six," he introduced the young girl behind him who peaked around Arsene's legs to see Carmelita and Devon nervous.
Carmelita climbed off of Devon only to fall before quickly recovering herself before she walked up to Arsene and kneels and says, "Hello my name is Carmelita are you hungry." Six was silent only for her stomach to answer before Carmelita offered a hand and the two walked to the kitchen.
Devon asks, "What have you discovered?"
Arsene pulled out a stack of papers where for each of the different Generals of Clockwerk and Clockwerk. Harry takes a seat while Arsene says, "Well, The Beast was building a power suit and Mechanic was trying to upgrade with Six and this," he pulled out the Cooper Peace Pipe and says, "What does not make sense is that even if she did this, it would not work."
Devon frowns before he thinks to himself before his eyes widened and says, "There is one way to answer why," with that Devon looks to Arsene and says, "Get the book. I need a pencil and paper," with that Devon wheels himself to the kitchen to see Six, stealing an apple from behind Carmelita as Carmelita was making a sand wedge for Six. Devon grabbed a pen and note pad and goes over to Six and asks, "Can you feed an old man's curiosity," he hands the pen and paper to Six and says, "Could you draw something that you dream of?"
Six frowns but nods in understanding and starts drawing with the pen, Devon waits for her to finish while Arsene and Harry walks into the room until Six frowns and asks, "Could I have some more paper please?" Arsene pass her a note book from a draw, as Devon looks to the first page and his eyes widened.
Carmelita places the sand wedge near Six before she looks to the paper in Devon's hands and her hand covers her face. Arsene frowns at that before walking over and looking at the paper and his eyes widened before looking to Six, back to the Paper and then to Six again and repeating this for a couple minutes before his hands cover his mouth. Harry was just silent while Sly and Hippy appeared and floated near Six and Sly was the first to comment, "SHE IS A COOPER!" as she was drawing what appeared to be a Cooper Cane only with different invention ideas to include with it.
Six blinks at Sly, not because of Sly appearing as Sly and Hippy already introduced themselves in the van before they reached Paris. Six was silent as Carmelita was starting to cry before pulling Six into a hug as she cried in joy. Arsene was the first person to speak, "So they clone you?"
Devon nods before saying, "Yeah, it explains why Mechanic wanted her for her upgrade," Devon sighs before saying, "I know I should be angry but," he smiles.
Arsene chuckles and says, "Well congratulations you are the first Cooper with two children."
Devon nods before saying, "Yeah, though we will need to ask her first," Devon wheeled over to Six and asks, "What is your name kid?"
"Six," Six stated from Carmelita's crying arms.
Devon nods before saying, "Well Six, would you like to be adopted by us," Six blinks in confusion.
Arsene says, "They want to be your parents, kid. Something that will give you a normal life," Six nods at that was tightly hugged by Carmelita. Confusing Six as the woman was hugging the young girl. Arsene walks out the room with Harry and says, "Well this has been a crazy weekend, and it ain't over yet," Arsene and Harry walk to the front door and opens the door as Noel was about to knock on the door the pair were about to leave from.
Noel frowns and says, "Well I see you two have returned, may I come in?" Arsene lets Noel walk inside and the three go into a sitting room where he speaks, "Interesting work in Italy. Though you were faster than I expected. I don't want any details, just wanted inform you that The Beast and Mechanic got away in water plane as Interpol arrived to arrest them. Though plenty of evidence was discovered so if they show up again then if given the Chance Interpol intends to imprison them. Good night," with that Noel left them to their devices.
Harry looked at Arsene silently before Arsene looks to him and says, "No I don't intend to tell him about Six," Harry continues to stare causing Arsene to say, "I don't trust him, with knowledge of Six being able to hack into Global Police and learning about Clockwerk's connections in his offices. Hence why we know that he can be trusted but not those he works with and they would notice him snooping around," Arsene had intended to walk out the house before sighing and decided to head back to the fire place room and proceeded to go through the documents and opens his laptop that Six upgraded the software where it would instantly protected the computer from other hackers or hostile software. Arsene then looked into what happened the last couple days he was gone and had to frown and was thankful that Noel came to help them when they sprung a trap. Fortunately Ladybug and Chat Noir managed to handle it even when they each were controlled by Jimmy Cricket. Arsene could only smile at the progress they had with their powers. Though he still felt like he forgot something before he then noticed the date and his eyes widen as he says, "Adrien's birthday."
Later that week-Dopant Academy-Adrien's birthday-Lunch time
Arsene waited until Adrien was leaving school, he heard that Nino was talking to Adrien into heading having a party. Adrien left for his extra classes while Nino started heading to Adrien's home before Arsene stopped him and says, "Hey Nino can I talk with you?"
Nino replied with, "No can do, I got to go," and started walking away.
Arsene hands him a card and says, "Well make sure you read that it is very important," Nino stuffs the card into his bag and completely forgets about it. Arsene then sees a depress Marionette and Ayla comforting her and rushed over, "Marionette and Ayla, just the two I was looking for," he hands them each a card and says, "Make sure you are there." Then quickly rushed to Harry who was handing out the cards to everyone he was asked to. While Sabrina was abandoned by Chloe as she drove away from the school. Arsene hands Sabrina a card and says, "Please come, and just remember no mention to Chloe until afterwards." With that Arsene quickly left as he heard Marionette squealing in joy after she read the card causing Arsene to smile. Arsene checked his phone as everything was in place until they were returning from lunch when suddenly the parents and adults older then nineteen was currently captured in bubbles and sent flying while Arsene and Harry was suddenly caught together in a single bubble and floating towards Adrien's home that caused Arsene to frown as he noticed the rest of his class was there along with Six who was wearing a pair of denim suspender pants with a blue shirt and wearing a red hat and was very confused what was happening because she was on 'her' computer which was seen in her hands.
Arsene then saw an Akuma, wearing red, yellow and blue skin that looks like what a bubble liquid tube, and he has a large bubble blower and tube on his back before knocking over the door where they enter the front of Adrien's home where a DJ equipment was set up along with food. Harry simply walked over to the side where he started eating some food with Six following him. Arsene looked to the Akuma as he started playing causing Arsene to pinch the bridge of his nose as Adrien walked out and says, "Wow, this is different."
"This is not what I had planned," Arsene says before Bubbler spots him.
Bubbler then shouts at him, "Why aren't you having fun?"
"Because today for the last few days Nino," Arsene shouts back, "Seriously I gave you the damn invite before rushed off to do the impossible!" Bubbler was confused as Arsene starts up again, "Seriously every year for the last ten years we kidnapped Adrien and then have a small get together at my house. This year I invited everyone that matters in our class! And I was going to introduce everyone to my new little sister and guess what you brought her too!" Directing everyones attention on Six who was sitting next to Harry as he ate cake and candy, Six ignoring everyone as she was on Arsene's computer. Six ignored everyone as Arsene continued, "Now Adrien is apparently going to be the only one to enjoy the party. Except Harry he will just be happy with the cake and candy," Arsene sighs and says, "And now you are about to angry with me, when I am angry at you for including Chloe," receiving a loud 'hey' from Chloe while Arsene walked calmly to Bubbler and gets in his face and says, "I have been Adrien's friend for years even I know the only way to get his father to agree to something is to say one thing do another," Arsene crossed his arms while Adrien rubbed the back of his head as Bubbler angrily stomped towards him. Arsene then looked to Bubbler as he was steps away from Arsene before Arsene looked behind Bubbler and shouts, "Hey Chat Noir!" while pointing behind Bubbler who turned around ready for a fight only for no one being there as Arsene stole Bubbler's bubble blower and cracks it over Bubblers head releasing the Akuma and causing Bubbler to fall over unconscious.
Adrien was shocked at this and asks, "How did you know that was going to work?"
Arsene turns to Adrien and says, "I did not," and walks over to Six and Harry as Ladybug dropped down and caught the Akuma. Arsene then says, "Okay everyone, due to the Akuma attack," Nino transformed back as Arsene continued and Ladybug saved the Adults, "Let's head to Deckard Manor and start this party. Not you Chloe mum still has that restraining order against you for what you did to her office." Chloe growls and grabs Sabrina hand and walks out the mansion as Natalie and Adrien's body guard arrives. Natalie was about to stop Adrien going only for Arsene to say, "Tell Gabrial that Adrien love his birthday present from him. Come on, Marionette's parents made the cake in exchange for her sharing your first slow dance," and started pushing Adrien through their class of students who excitedly joined them while Ayla helped Nino to the party due to a slight concussion. Ladybug heard what Arsene said and quickly rushed away to get ready for the party. Harry lifted up Six onto his shoulder as she continued on 'her' Laptop and silently joined the group heading to Deckard Manor. Where Adrien enjoyed a slow dance with Marionette and a break from his heavily enforced schedule and Marionette who got to give her gift to him in person before getting to listen to his heart beat as they slow danced together which was recorded by Ayla and posted on the school blog.
Six snuck away for some silence and was joined by Devon who asks, "I take it you dislike large parties," Six was silent as Devon continued, "Would you like to join me for a walk?" that got Six to pause and Devon to continue, "There is a nice ice cream store a block from here. Have you ever had ice cream?" Six shakes her head and Devon says, "Then lets go," he offered a hand to Six and she accepted the hand as the pair left the house for ice cream where Six got to try Ice Cream for the first time and became a glutton for the stuff. Even going as far as stealing from the fridge behind Carmelita's back.
The party went well until Gabriel Augustine arrived in person and he was surprised with how happy he appeared, Gabriel was silent as he left silently accepting that he was wrong and left Adrien to enjoy his party completely missing the teachers of Adrien's classes there enjoying the party as well. Gabriel went home accepting that he wronged his son. Arsene though smiled when he saw Sabrina here alone without Chloe and being friendly with the other people in her class. Arsene then finished the night sitting with Harry and saying, "Tonight went well. I look forward to seeing what Marionette does next," as he looks to see Adrien and Marionette still dancing together.
A couple weeks later-With Arsene
Arsene was amused with what had happened over the weeks since Adrien's birthday party. Ladybug and Chat Noir fought another Chloe made Akuma called Illustrator whose power let him draw, create and erase objects he controlled needing light to do it though. They then fought an Akuma twice in one week, a Mister Pigeon who was Akumatised because he could not feed his precious pigeons in any of the parks and even his own property as the neighbours complained, which was worse for them afterwards because they forgot that they paid him rent. So they were fined for wrongful complaints and had to deal with it. Devon had even included plans for a Pigeon Park for people to feed them to avoid this in future, which was met with Mister Pigeon attacking again when the current Mayor decided to go against this, increasing Devon Deckard's popularity.
Though that was not the problem now the problem was that Chat Noir was being framed by a copycat who stole the one thing you should never steal, the Mona Lisa herself. So was Sly Cooper running across rooftops following the trail that only a Cooper could follow. Sly was angry as he dropped down the sky light and says, "Okay who was the idiot that stole the Mona Lisa!?" what he sees was two Chat Noir, the real one being cuffed by heavy chains on the floor. Sly ignores the cuffed Chat and looks to the fake and says, "You have till the count of five to hand the painting over before I make it easier to tell you two apart," he counted to five as Fake Noir attacked only for Sly to reach zero and Sly Cooper to whack the side of his head and knocked him towards a box resulting in the Mona Lisa being revealed. Sly Cooper checked the painting and sighs in relief that it was undamaged.
Chat Noir simply comments, "What is going on here?" which was met with Ladybug entering and asking the same thing at the sight of two Chat Noirs, the fake unconscious and Sly Cooper staring at the Mona Lisa.
Ladybug was spinning her Yoyo and says, "Put down the painting."
Sly laughs and says, "Just let me look at her," Sly takes a deep breath and says, "You it is common knowledge that no one knows who this woman is in the world's most famous painting. But if you ask a Cooper they would tell you exactly who this is," Sly smiles at the confused looks they gave him before Sly says, "Her name was Claudia Cooper, master thief of her time and the one that stole Leonado De'vinchi's heart," he placed the painting down and say to the two, "Make sure this never happens again," then starts to leave before stopping ands says, "You may want to take a picture of the two before you fix everything you know so I don't have any competition for best looking criminal of Paris. I know that I would win, but still I prefere being chased alone!" before he grappled up and out the skylight. While Ladybug fixed everything and freed the real Chat Noir and freeing Fake Noir's Akuma and Ladybug signing said paper news clipping. Ladybug was also fortunate that the only repairs she had to do was move the Mona Lisa back to the museum carefully and Ladybug showing the police the two Chat Noirs proving that he was innocent as the Mona Lisa was place back in its alcove.
Unfortunately Ladybug let slip Sly Cooper's involvement about the Mona Lisa that Clockwerk's Generals found the information useful for their plans as they researched the Mona Lisa's past and realised that the Cooper's have actually protected the painting ever since it was made. This caused them to have a plan of attack in the coming weeks.
With Arsene-three weeks later
Arsene was relaxing with Harry and Six, or as she named herself, Claudia, when Sly explained why he helped Ladybug and Chat Noir. In the last couple weeks the only Akuma's that had attacked was an Invisible Sabrina who had terrorised Chloe for a week, a task that he actually enjoyed watching the entire time, no one noticed because Sabrina would normally spend a week . Which was quickly followed by Chloe becoming an inversion of Ladybug which was not a problem due to her working alone and because she expected Ladybug to attack her head on. That was an interesting week while Clockwerk's General's waited. Arsene then frowns as he remember earlier that day as he had realised that Marionette was still wearing her glasses and was constantly lying to everyone about them being temporary.
Harry was playing video games while Claudia was on 'her' computer when she suddenly spoke up, "Purple Dragon just stole the Mona Lisa." That got Arsene and Harry to stand and quickly head out the room while Claudia started following them only for Arsene to stop her.
Arsene says, "You wait here, you don't have a Miraculous and you are ten. So stay here and stay safe," Claudia simply nods at that before Arsene then says, "If you get bored make yourself a cane or something."
With that Arsene and Harry went to the training room and to the hidden exit where Harry's Van was located and the two transformed into Sly Cooper and The Murray and speed away down the tunnel and Sly used his phone to search for Purple Dragon only to discover that he was waiting under the Eiffel Tower which was not on fire surprisingly. Sly Blinked at the sight and says, "This is a trap," The Murray silently nodded in agreement.
The Murray's Van parked in front of the Eiffel Tower after the Police had surrounded the tower with Noel in full swat gear and his Changer ready to kick Purple Dragon's ass only Purple Dragon had threaten set the painting on fire if they tried anything. He wanted Sly Cooper and The Murray to come or he set it on fire.
Purple Dragon watched as they slowly walked over until they were twenty feet away from Purple Dragon. The Murray had his arms crossed as Sly Cooper mirrored him and asks, "So which of Clockwerk's goons are you working for this week. Not Jimmy Cricket, that failed and The Beast screwed up. So all whoooooo," time slowed down before suddenly Speedfreak came speeding onto the scene and punched Sly Cooper through the air and was spinning through the air before landing on his back and groaning. Sly Cooper groans as he sat up and looks to Speed Freak as he stood next to Purple Dragon.
The Murray turns around to look at Sly as Purple Dragon used that momentary distraction and to punch The Murray where he was unaffected as he looks to Purple Dragon who started beating on The Murray, who did nothing back just taking a beating while Speed Freak sped toward Sly Cooper as he got back up, and was punched back down and bouncing on the ground. Sly rubs his jaw as he stumbled back onto his feet Sly was dazed as he expected to get punched in the face again only to side step Speed Freak as suddenly he was tripped by Ladybug. Ladybug then landed next to Sly Cooper and says, "Why?"
"They stole the Mona Lisa and they are the type to do this crap!" Sly Cooper states before he was suddenly punched into the face while Ladybug was suddenly kick in her stomach. Sly groans as the two see Speed Freak laughing at their humiliation. Sly suddenly says, "I am really tempted to do something that I can only do in this situation."
Ladybug frowns and says, "I this going to be considered a crime?"
"That depends, do you consider shattering his knee a crime?" Sly Cooper stated only to receive a glare from Ladybug and he nodded understanding as he goes to stand before suddenly froze as she suddenly lost control of her body. Sly noticed and says, "God damn it, please fight this," only to receive a shout of dodge from Ladybug only for Sly to receive a Yoyo to the face and Jimmy Cricket was laughing above them.
Ladybug was attacking Sly as she shouts, "Please tell me you have a way to stop this!?"
"One," Sly starts only to get kicked across the ground causing him to groan and says, "As long as they don't try and take over The Murray they won't be able to take us down."
"Why would you say that out loud!?" Ladybug shouts before suddenly being released and quickly looked to The Murray as Jimmy Cricket started struggling to move The Murray at all and for a fact, The Murray was over powering Jimmy Cricket's power with sheer strength.
"That is why," as Speed Freak launched him to the other side of the tower square. Sly groans and says while still lying down and says on his back, "I really want to break that guy's knee," as Chat Noir was hidden out of sight. Sly pointed up to Chat Noir while Chat Noir nods and climbs up the side, actively climbing the side where no one can see him. Which has been a growing problem in that surprise attacks have constantly been ruined by his fans calling out to him and then the Akumas attacking him. Chat Noir continued to climb as Sly sat up and saw that Ladybug was searching for Speed Freak while Purple Dragon was doing everything in his power to take down The Murray. Ladybug was knocked down and her Yoyo was used to tie her to The Murray. Ladybug struggled in her cable as Sly stood and shouts, "You know!" Sly flipped his cane in his hand so that the golden 'C' at the top was tapping the ground as he rolled his shoulder and says, "You like sneak attacks, because you know that coming straight at me would just mean you won't beat me!"
Sly concealed a smirk as Speed Freak, was in a sprinters position and ready to attack Sly. Sly was ready standing lazily before Speed Freak went full speed towards Sly only for him to side step and swinging his cane at knee height and shattering Speed Freaks knee causing him to fall to the ground screaming in deathly pain.
Sly walked over to him and says, "Normally your Miraculous would heal any broken bones or injuries that you sustain. But in the case of a shattered knee, it will heal only you will never be able to walk on that leg again. Unless!" Sly walks over to Speed Freak and grabbed his right wrist and removed the golden hoop bracelet causing Speed Freak to revert out of his transformation resulting in him wearing clothes that were way to small for him as he had several growth spurts and had never removed the Miraculous. Speed Freaks pain subsided enough that he could only feel a slight pain in his knee being broken and would now survive. Sly stumbled for a second before balancing himself and says, "Murray now," with that Murray raised his hand and then finger flicked him into the river.
Chat Noir suddenly fell to the ground as he was forced to slam his own staff into his face as Jimmy Cricket made his escape. Sly Cooper looks to the Mona Lisa and sighs in relief and starts walking to the van as the police started to close in. Murray stepped out of the cables as Noel steps over to the Mona Lisa and had the security collect the intact and undamaged painting. Sly walks to the Van pass several police officers who were telling The Murray to stop as he returned to his Van and the two drove away with Sly throwing the wallets he had just stolen out the window. Sly Cooper sighs as he lied back in the passanger's seat as The Murray says, "That was a risk. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, if they try to steal the Mona Lisa again I will kick their asses," Sly Cooper states before saying, "Though not bad for not having a plan," Sly groans as he touched a forming bruise on his side. "Just get us home."
"What about the Miraculous?" The Murray questions before asking, "What do you intend to do."
"Hold onto it for a while," Sly states as they reach the secret entrance to Cooper training room where they see Carmelita and Claudia holding first aid boxes with Claudia also holding Arsene's laptop. Sly stepped out the van and says, "Sly, Safehouse," with that Arsene fell to his knees and says, "I am so happy that I broke Speed Freak's knee," Arsene chuckles before saying, "Ow," laughs, "Ow," laughs, "Ow, hurts to laugh." Carmelita shakes her head and Harry comes around and picks him up bridle carry causing Arsene to say, "My hero. Ow."
Claudia asks, "Is this normal?"
Carmelita frowns before saying, "No, but considering he managed to collect Speed Freak's Miraculous. Let's go help them and we can tell him off for taking such a risk," Claudia was confused at what she meant as she followed after her mother.
Next day-Arsene's room-Sunday
Arsene groans as Devon wheeled himself into Arsene's room, while Claudia was on Arsene's laptop writing coding. Devon smiles at this before turning to Arsene and asks, "How is your injuries."
"Like a bus punched me," Arsene states before adding, "Repeatedly. I should have shatter both that guys knees or at least to knock out several teeth."
Devon shakes his head and says, "Well, compared to Hawkmoth you are two Miraculous ahead of him," getting a painful snort of amusement from Arsene. Devon then goes onto say, "You get better though you are lucky that Sly was able to protect you from getting killed."
Arsene nods before saying, "Yeah, I should be ready to head for school tomorrow though I think I will blame the black eye on an attempted mugging."
Devon nods before looking to Claudia and asks, "Are you looking forward to going to school," Claudia ignores him as she continues to right code.
With Marionette-Monday Morning-Career Day.
Marionette was walking to school a bruise had formed on her stomach where Speed Freak had kicked her. It was relatively ignored as she reached school where she would claim to Ayla that she was just having issues with her stomach. Her father though was walking with her into the school with a box of fresh pastries for the day. Marionette noticed several other parents Uncle Mark was standing with Harry while Carmelita was standing with Arsene, his arm in a sling and a bruise over his eye. Marionette split up from her father to speak with Arsene to ask, "What happened?"
"Saturday I was walking home after buy Claudia some ice cream and a guy tried to mug me and I fought back when they mentioned all the police was dealing with the theft of a painting," Arsene states before commenting, "Sprained my wrist after knocking the guys teeth out."
Marionette asks, "Did you call the police?"
"Yeah, not exactly helpful in that he did not steal anything and with teeth missing," Arsene says with a sigh.
Carmelita sighs and says, "It has only gotten worse since I retired."
With that Marionette's father came over and started talking with her friends' parents and embarrassing her to no end. Though it appeared that Harry and Arsene did not mind their parents embarrassing them as they took amusement from Marionette's father asking about Adrien that got a chuckle from Arsene. They then proceeded up stairs to the classroom where the parents waited to the side next to the different desks their children sit at. Marionette's father standing with Ayla's mother. Oposite the classroom was a newly reinstated Officer Rogers next to the Mayor and couple other parents were in the room waiting for their turn to speak, with Uncle Mark and Carmelita standing behind Arsene and Harry. Uncle Mark yawns in boredom. Adrien was outside as Marionette's father explains the life of a baker.
Arsene was tuning everything out as he noticed that Chloe was showing off a golden bracelet that makes Arsene sigh before Sly and Hippy snuck there way over to her beg where the wave high to Plagg, the Black Cat Miraculous where Hippy held him back while Sly did the funny thing and moved the item to the Chloe's pocket. Plagg returned to Adrien depressed while Sly whispers to Arsene what happened causing Arsene to smirk before Marionette took some pastries around the room after Chloe insulted Marionette's dad and she gave Chloe's pastry and handed hers to Arsene, who gave both to Harry next to him.
Marionette walked back down when Chloe knock her purse to the side where Marionette tripped on the item where her glasses bounced and slid towards Adrien's desk. Adrien leans down and picks up her glasses and helps her out as he noticed that Marionette's eyes had not improved where it should have. Arsene had pulled out his phone where he recorded Chloe kicking her purse in the way and creating proof of Marionette's innocence. Ayla mother had finished speaking to the class where the Mayor agrees to have cook lunch for the whole class. Sabrina and Officer Roger stood in front of class when Chloe shouts, "My bracelet is gone!" she then accused Marionette of the crime with the Mayor agreeing.
It did not go far as Arsene spoke up, "Actually she did not," Arsene stands and shows Officer Roger the video evidence, "Chloe kicked her bag under Marionette's feet before Chloe packed all her items back into her bag. And as the video clearly shows the only one who touched the box between the two was Chloe," everyone looked at him strangely before he says, "But there is also two possible reasons for the bracelet being missing. One, There was no bracelet to begin with or Two," Arsene paused for affect before Arsene says, "Chloe is trying to frame Marionette for a crime that never happened."
Chloe shouts, "I am not a criminal like Marionette."
Arsene smirks and says, "Then you won't complain as you reveal the contents of your pockets!" while pointing at Chloe Ace Attorney style.
Chloe glares at him and says, "No, I have nothing in my pockets that you can see!"
In responce Officer Rogers speaks up and says, "I am sorry ma'am but the evidence given to me, makes you a suspect until you reveal the contents of your pockets. Marionette too."
Chloe glares while Marionette was holding her purse before Tikki vanished from her purse and into Marionette's body as she can phase into her body until she could be hidden again. Marionette noticed the shifting as she had pulled her purse away her waist before opening the purse, showing that it only had a couple cookies inside.
Marionette was proven innocent before Chloe shouts, "She has clearly had an accomplice."
What she failed to realise that all the students if her class was emptying on their tables, and the contents of their pockets. In the end the only people who refused the empty their pockets was Chloe and the Mayor as they left quickly with the mayor saying, "Ensure that my daughter's bracelet is returned to her by the end of the week though responsible parties are punished."
Arsene glares at Chloe as they left before he comments, "A pity she did not demand a physical pat down by Adrien," causing Marionette to blush at the implications of what Arsene states while Carnelita was glaring at him with narrowed eyes.
Uncle Mark and Harry smile in amusement as the class decides not to visit the Mayor's Hotel and instead had a fun time cooking with Marionette's Father and Ayla's mother in the home economics room. Arsene then felt a stirring in his pocket and when he was out of sight of everyone he pulls out the Speed Miraculous where a small blue Hedgehog was now floating in his coat and Arsene asks, "I see you have awaken, Sonic. Just stay calm and I will get you anything that you want to eat," he hears the growl from Sonic's stomach.
The Blue Hedgehog hides in his arm sling as Marionette comes over and asks, "Are you feeling well Arsene?" while thinking, 'Who was he talking too?'
"Yeah, just finally getting my appetite back. What is your dad making?" and walks over to the others as they were learning by doing, along with some of the parents.
With Devon-That moment-Claudia's primary school-Office.
Devon waited patiently for the parent teacher conference that he was called in for today, Carmelita was visiting Arsene's school to talk about her time in Interpol. So here Devon was waiting outside the Principal's office waiting for the Principal to finish speaking with a teacher that Devon recognises as Claudia's teacher. Devon waited until he was called inside and wheeled himself inside as the Principle speaks, "Mister Deckard, a pleasure to speak with you again."
Devon frowns and says, "Mister Ford, I would like an explanation of what exactly you called this meeting for."
Mister Ford nods in understanding and says, "It is about your Adopted Daughter," Devon controlled the anger starting to bubble from inside until Mister Ford continues, "She is way to advanced to be learning with kids her age." Devon frowns at that before Mister Ford continues, "I have already talked with Mister Damocles and we had Claudia take an exam early, and then another. I am afraid to admit this but your daughter is a genius in that she is at the same Educational level as your son and we believe that if we move her up she will open up more with those at her mental ability."
Devon leans back and asks, "What needs to be done?"
"She needs to be enrolled at Dopant Academy the sooner the better," Mister Ford states getting a nod from Devon.
Devon simply says, "Well then I best call her mother and inform her. I should collect her and head straight to my son's school and enrol her," with that Devon wheels out the office and starts roaming the hall of the school and towards Cluadia's classroom where he sees her on Arsene's laptop staring at a screen of green ones and zeroes of her own making while the rest of her class was outside enjoying their lunch and play time. Devon then asks, "Claudia, would you like to join me for ice cream?" Claudia nods and packs her bag up before leaving with Devon and the pair got some ice cream before they walked to Dopant Academy where they saw Carmelita on her phone. Devon was the first to speak, "How was careers day?"
"Chloe made a scene interrupting the class before a couple parents decided to teach the students and parents how to cook a couple dishes," Carmelita notices Claudia eating ice cream and says, "Sweety, why don't you go inside and say hello to Arsene, He and Harry are inside with a couple students studying and I am sure Harry could use some help."
Claudia nods and walks inside and sees Arsene, Harry, Marionette, Ayla, Nino and Adrien. Claudia finished her ice cream and walked over to see that Harry was struggling with his maths and she starts whispering to him and helping him understand the subject, to the point where he would get a decent grade this time and caused Arsene to smile, while the others were surprised that she had such a great understanding of algebra. Carmelita came over while Devon went to the elevator to reach the Principal's office. Carmelita simply says, "Arsene please keep an eye on your sister and bring her home at the end of the day."
Arsene nods not questioning her as their classes were starting back up again, when in class Claudia sat between Harry and Arsene in Bustier's class. Which was met with Cluadia also doing the class work for Miss Bustier, towards the end of class Miss Bustier started handing out permission slips for a days work experience for next week to be handed in within the next three days before letting the class leave for the day.
In the Principal's office-during class
Devon and Carmelita sat opposite Mister Damocles as class was underway. Devon spoke up, "So, my Wife and I have agreed that our Daughter would be challenged at your school."
Mister Damocles nods and says, "Of course, I have all the paper work prepared and I can have her added and start in Miss Bustier's class tomorrow," Mister Damocles handed Carmelita the forms for the two to sign and go through. Mister Damocles then goes on to say, "Though next week will be the day of work experiane at the Mayor's Hotel. It is compulsory for their final grade," Devon and Carmelita sign the forms before making their way home before the end of school.
A week later-Grand Parie Hotel-Morning
For the last week Claudia went to Dopant Academy she has been getting the highest grades in the class year and Harry has been getting better with his classes with her help. Chloe though tried bullying the young girl only to receive blank stares from Claudia. Everyone was happy for her, as she was a big help with the other student with their class work. When Chloe decided to remove Claudia's hat revealing her hair had only just grew an inch since her arrival in Paris, Chloe had tried making fun of her only for Claudia to ignore her not caring.
Today Miss Bustier's class was working under several employees of the Mayor's Hotel, Sabrina working with the maids. Chloe, Adrien and Nino working the front door. Alya working the trash. What was Harry, Claudia, Arsene and Marionette working, Claudia and Marionette were chosen as Goffers while Harry and Arsene was chosen to clean the pent house suites preparing them for people. Apparently one such person was coming to the hotel that night. So while Marionette and Claudia got instructions from Jagged Stone, after a surprising turn of events where Jagged actually know Arsene and met a crazy stalker wanting a selfie with the rock star only for Jagged's assistant to stop him and have the doormen kick him out. Marionette and Claudia left quickly soon after to get a pair as Harry and Arsene was moving down the hall with Chloe's personal butler, where they were going was one five VIP suites, one currently being used by Jagged Stone and one other that Chloe uses without paying. Her father actually lives on a lower floor due to him needing to go to city hall all the time.
Harry and Arsene was pushing a pair of carts filled with chocolates and candies as the butler speaks, "Today the two of you will be helping me prepare a VIP suite for a guess that has requested special items to be placed inside. You are not to question why, just to do, and you are not to tell anyone what you see. Understood?" Arsene and Harry nod as the place the trolleys of candies into a room where they see the pool area was cut off from the other rooms on the top floor. What they also see is a couple sealed crates and a crowbar to the side. The Butler then goes on to say, "These items were sent up by the guest, please do not touch them. The Guest has also requested these trollies and has requested another bed shifted into the room and several more crates with the service elevator, you have two hours to complete your task before the Guest arrives, then you will be assisting in the Goffer duties for the day.
The two quickly moved the last couple items into the room when they stepped out to discover Sin Queen in the hall being led by the Mayor past the pair. Sin Queen and his RoboGuards enter the room silently and slammed the door on the Mayor's face. Arsene and Harry then walk along the hall where they see Marionette and Claudia walking out the elevator with Claudia wearing a red, white and blue pair of sunglasses in the shape of two Eiffel Towers. Claudia spots them and Arsene takes a photo of the ten year old genius before she handed it to Marionette.
Arsene asks Marionette, "No problems?"
"No, Claudia designed a pair of singlasses for Jagged Stone and I made them," Marionette states as she starts walking towards Jagged's room asking, "Have you seen Adrien"
"He should be at the front desk, unless Chloe decided to move to her room. So While Harry, Claudia and I check her room, take Jagged his glasses," With that Marionette went to Jagged's room while Arsene unlocked to the door to Chloe's room and found it empty. Arsene then goes on to say, "I doubt they went to get lunch anywhere else but here," Arsene then started leaving the room only to see an Akuma with a camera lense themed costume walking into Jagged's room and Ladybug suddenly coming back from the Elevator. Arsene sighs and says, "Come on, let us let Ladybug handle this." With that the three head for the elevator and go down to the main floor and take positions opposite Nino and Arsene quickly pulls out his phone and calls Devon.
Claudia is sitting on the floor with Arsene's Laptop again as Devon answers, "Arsene, has there been an issue?"
"Well, Ladybug is saving Jagged Stone from an Akuma, Claudia designed a amazing pair of shades and Sin Queen is staying in the Grand Parie Hotel," Arsene states as he sees Ladybug swinging away with a screaming Jagged Stone holding on for dear life.
Devon then goes on to say, "Well stay put. No reason for Sin Queen to see you at this time. I will see you tonight." With that Devon hanged up and twenty minutes later Adrien and Chloe appeared in the room before Adrien rushed to the computer next to Nino and rushed out the hotel. Over the next hour Ladybug, Chat Noir and Jagged stone managed to save the day before Marionette and Adrien returned a half hour before Jagged returned after signing autographs and giving the news that day a good comment.
It was now the end of the day, Harry had Claudia sitting on his shoulder on 'Her' Laptop as the Mayor informed everyone, "Today Mister Jagged Stone has decided to share four tickets for those who did the best in their work for the day," with the Jagged's purple haired assistant handed Alya, Marionette, Adrien and Nino tickets for tonight's concert.
Jagged's assistant then went to Arsene and says, "Jagged has also requested that you and your parents received these," she handed Arsene back stage passes before she says, "Though if you decide to invite your friends instead please inform your mother that Jagged says 'Rock on' and to your father, 'I want Fang's golden teeth back.'" Arsene silently thanks her as she walks away before Chloe offers her hand to receive one of the back stage passes.
Arsene gives Harry and Claudia the tickets before walking away from the shocked Chloe and headed home. There night was then met with Claudia becoming a fan of Jagged Stone and going to her first concert with Arsene taking photos while Claudia watched from Harry's shoulder before the trio went to the after party and had taken photos with Jagged Stone wearing his Eiffel Tower shades and Claudia getting a signed guitar for the night. That she would hang in her room above the Computer Set up Devon and Carmelita purchased and installed while they were out at the concert.
With Sin Queen-Four days later-Grand Parie Hotel-night
Sin Queen sat on what appeared to be a throne made of cushions and leather bindings along the seams. Sin Queen was eating large quantities of candy and just lazily spent her time watching her Metal Knight practice catching a facsimile of Chat Noir and Ladybug catching them and tying them up before moving them to a table with bindings, until fake Chat Noir touched the Metal Knight with its right hand and they restarted the process. With training completed Sin Queen looked at the pictures of Jagged Stone when he was Akumatised the day before along with his pet Crocodile Fang. Sin Queen with her feet up on a RoboGuard on his hands and knees. Sin Queen pulled out her Phone and calls Mechanic, "I need some modifications done on the building I want to do my plan tomorrow night," she hung up as an hour later a couple dozen matenance workers arrived and silently installed a series of traps. Sin Queen dropped her phone to the side before directing the robot versions of Chat Noir and Ladybug to her side to relax until tomorrow night.
The Next Day-Midday-With Marionette-Saturday
Marionette was hanging out with Alya as they were relaxing reading a Magazine that recently came out with Adrien's modelling images. The television was on as Suddenly the news came on with the reporter came on, "This just, we have received an anomalous call come in for Ladybug and Chat Noir, 'There will be an Akuma at the Grand Parie Hotel tonight,' with that the Mayor had this to say," the Mayor appeared on screen to say, "This is just a prank all previous Akumas have been spontaneous and surprising not schedualed." The Reporter came back up and says, "That being said people are taking this 'warning' with a grain of salt, as most residents have refused to leave the Hotel, those who have left were those with families or those who have been the target of an Akuma. The police response has been to increase security has increased around the area." The reporter signed off as Alya stood up and rushed to get her stuff.
Marionette being the reasonable one says, "Alya, you can't be serious. It is a threat and it could be dangerous."
"Or it could be a big scoop," Alya argued back before saying, "And as the editor of the LadyBlog, it is my sworn duty to write about Ladybug, Chat Noir and other heroes and villains."
With that Alya left Marionette alone in Alya's home before she looks at Alya's older sister who was eating before staring at Marionette, who waved awkwardly before making her exit.
With Adrien Augustine-Car to his lessons-After watching that same report
Adrien's limo arrived at his home after watching the news on his phone where he went into his room and transformed after saying, "This could be a case of an Akuma already being formed and got revenge. Like Sabrina being invisible for three days without noticed." With that Chat Noir used his staff to escape his room and ran across the rooftops towards the Grand Parie Hotel and hid across the road on a separate roof while keeping an eye on the building. Seeing Sabrina helping Chloe with a frown on her face as Chloe was having another me day as she was wearing a Bath robe. He looks to Jagged Stones room seeing Jagged playing his Guitar lightly with a pen in his mouth and paper on the table in front of him as he writes music, wearing the glasses that Marionette made for him. Jagged's Assistant was going over a note board and between tunes was speaking with Jagged about his plans for the week. Chat Noir the looked to the last room that he could see and spots red with small black spots in the room. He quickly used his staff to cross the road from the rooftop where he landed outside the room where he found it dark as he whispers, "M'lady?" he was fully in the room when the doors behind him suddenly shut and in the darkness in the room he was suddenly jumped by a Metal Knight that forced him to the ground.
As a pair of curtain opened with Sin Queen wearing a rainbow styled costume covering her whole body while her head was covered with a feathered head dress as she says, "Well I see my bait has arrived."
Chat Noir growls from under the Metal Knight before saying, "You will never get away with it," only for Sin Queen to gesture to Chat Noir side, where a robot version of him stepped over and held his mouth open as a robot Ladybug gagged him. Chat Noir panicked as The Metal Knight lifted him over to a metal table and with the assistance of the RoboHeroes were tying him down.
Chat Noir looked at them confused as Sin Queen says, "You will surrender your Miraculous and then I will release you of your bindings and maybe treat you to what you desire once you do." Chat Noir looks at her strangely before looking around the room in confusion.
With Arsene-Deckard Mansion-Just after the news report.
Arsene, Harry and Claudia who was typing on her laptop in the lounge was watching the news while playing a board game, Monopoly, with Claudia owning everything on the board and Arsene in Jail for the twentieth time and completely broke to escape from the Jail while Harry was about one move away from loosing unless he can roll a 'twenty' with two six sided dice. Harry rolled the dice and landed on a hotel covered orange space and went bankrupt and it was now Arsene's turn to spend the last forty dollars if he can't roll himself, which failed and Claudia won her thirteenth Monopoly game in a row.
Arsene looks at the television and says, "That is a trap," Harry nods in agreement.
Claudia then comments, "Meaning that Ladybug and Chat Noir will need some assistance if they engage a Metal Knight."
Arsene nods with a sigh before stating, "I already know who it is. This is going to be a pain," Arsene stands before saying to Harry, "You stay here with her powers you could lose control and destroy the city." Harry was confused for a moment before nodding in acceptance. Arsene then goes on to say, "Knowing Chat as poorly as I do, he probably already be there and caught," with that Arsene waved a later to Harry and Claudia as he rushed to the Attic and transformed into Sly Cooper before jumping onto the roof and then started running across the rooftops and reached the Grand Parie Hotel as Chat Noir decided to pole vault into Sin Queen's room. Arsene just sighs and stays hidden on a rooftop where Sonic flies out from under his cape and looks at the building.
Sonic then asks, "So what is the plan then?"
Sly Cooper was silent before he mentioned, "I was thinking of waiting for Ladybug to handle it," that was when a sphere of pink energy in vapour form started growing from Sin Queen's room causing him to sigh.
Sin Queen's Metal Knight had some RoboGuards moving a high tech projector and started displaying an image of Sin Queen, completely pink instead of a rainbow of colour, next to her was a gagged Chat Noir as some RoboGuards were attaching some electrodes to his body at different points. Sin Queen was now speaking, "Ladybug, I know you can hear me. I have your pet. If you want him intact then come face me. I am in the Grand Parie Hotel. I look forward to revealing your try desires."
Sly Copper frowns at that before whispering, "Hide," Sonic concealed himself in his cape before Sly looked up to see Ladtbug rushing towards the pink energy just to the side of him and he quickly caught her and yanked her away from the pink Energy and says, "You really don't want to go in there."
Ladybug swung her Yoyo into his face before he ducked and her Yoyo came back to her and bound her arms. Ladybug lost her balance and fell to the ground of the roof. Ladybug glared at Sly and asks, "What are you doing!?"
Sly Cooper sighs and says, "That," he points to the sphere of pink energy that was at the first floor of the hotel, "Is the power of a Miraculous, one that neither of us are protected from it."
Ladybug untangled herself and demands an answer for this, "Why did you stop me I have to save Chat. So tell me why?"
Ladybug's glare was met with an indifferent look as Sly Cooper says, "That field gets stronger the closer you get to Sin Queen, suddenly swinging into the pent houses you would collapse instantly and get captured."
"Then what should I do then?" Ladybug questioned while annoyed.
"We," gesturing to her and himself, "Are going to sneak into the Hotel and make our way up the hotel slowly so we can adapt to Sin Queen's powers."
Ladybug sighs as she nods in understanding before her eyes widened and she asks, "Sin Queen, as in?"
"Yep, the Fashion critic world famous is also one of the most dangerous criminals on the planet," Sly Cooper states before walking away from the Hotel and dropping down to the street where it was empty and opens the access panel for the sewers below. Ladybug paused at that not liking this idea as Sly Cooper looked to her and asks, "What is wrong, I thought you wanted to help your pet cat?"
Ladybug was grossed out as she says, "Let's just do this before I change my mind."
With that Sly Cooper and Ladybug dropped down into the sewers landing on the path next to the run off. Sly Cooper leads Ladybug along the sewer tunnel before sneakily staring down the tunnel and sees a camera staring down the tunnel they would be seen coming through the tunnel. Sly Cooper pushed Ladybug back a bit and says, "They installed a camera."
Ladybug frowns before asking, "That is strange how?"
"It was not there a week ago," Sly Cooper drew an Insignia Card and threw it down the tunnel where it attached to the camera and forced it to loop for the next half hour. "Come on, my Insignia Cards will distract that camera."
With that the two rushed down the tunnel and up the hatch leading into the Hotel Basement. Sly checked for more cameras and found none. Sly slowly stepped out the hatch and rolled under a bench as Ladybug slowly climbed out and closed the hatch to escape the smell. Ladybug then looked to Sly and says while annoyed, "What are you doing?"
"Sneaking in, you know that thing where don't want to be noticed," Sly Cooper states as the pair head to the stairs next to the elevator and Ladybug went to activate one only to be stopped by Sly who says, "That is too quick, we take the stairs and ease our way up." With that the two went to the stairs where they see the pink haze. They were just under the field when Sly stopped just before the field and says, "Sure you want to do this? The further up we go the harder it will be to go forward." Ladybug shoved him out the way and stepped into the haze before suddenly grabbing the hand rail as a blush started to form on her face. Sly Cooper shakes his head and starts walking forward the same blush forming on his face as he started thinking of dead puppies. Sly Cooper looks back down the first flight of stairs at Ladybug not moving and says, "Take your time, and think of something that is revolting to you, like Chloe."
Ladybug looks at Sly Cooper as he started walking up the stair appearing to control himself, Ladybug then thinks of Chloe kissing Adrien and finds she could move now. With that Ladybug catches up to Sly as he slowly made his way up the stairs even throwing Insignia Cards at the different cameras that had been installed without the Mayor's permission. They reach the half way mark when the two were forced to stop and Ladybug, with a heavy blush asks, "Seriously why is Sin Queen's power this?"
"Actually this is one of seven powers," Sly Cooper states as they lean on the hand rail to adjust again, "Basically the Sin Miraculous was banished because of its power to induce sin. An entire civilisation to collapse. Riots caused by Wrath, death by laziness caused by Sloth, or in our case, city wide orgy caused by Lust."
Ladybug nods before her eyes widened in shock and asks, "Wait, her powers are based off of Sins and she has activated that power. Then this should have activated the timer for her powers to fail."
"Not if she has had these powers for fifteen years," Sly Cooper states shocking Ladybug. Sly Cooper then continues, "Basically if you and Chat Noir have your Miraculous' long enough you could use your powers without saying a word. Just like Hawkmoth, he has had these powers for a long time in that his Akuma's are not five minute wonders. Fortunately Clockwerk Generals all believe they cannot remove the Miraculous against the users will, unless you have my Miraculous."
Ladybug looks at him strangely before asking, "Why would they think that?"
Sly Cooper smiles and says, "Oh, that is a lie perpetuated by my family to ensure that if anyone got their hands on the Banished Miraculous they can't steal them without me," Sly Cooper smirks as he then starts walking up the steps while Ladybug groans and starts following him up thinking of Chloe.
Eventually they were forced to stop as the stairs had been disabled in that they were electrified. Ladybug frowns at that before saying, "What now?"
Sly sighs and says, "We are going to have to go to the other set of stairs through the building. Meaning there is going to be several traps."
Ladybug frowns as the open the door and finds rotating platforms that changed what they did from spewing flames or electric panels, buttons and then clear. Ladybug asks, "Okay why?"
Sly Cooper frowns before saying, "Well I believe it is to prove that the Cooper Family can't get past everything," Ladybug throws her Yoyo to go over only for a pair of laser cannons to appear and shoot her Yoyo back to her. Sly then adds, "Well I hope you are not clumsy without your Yoyo," with that said Sly Cooper jumps over the trap panels and onto the safe panels and to the other side.
Ladybug glares at him before jumping to the first button panel resulting in plumes of fire surprising her before they calmed down where Ladybug could see Sly Cooper waiting for her with an amused expression. Ladybug glares at Sly before jumping onto the same panels he had and found her path clear. Ladybug looks to Sly's smug look before she says, "Not a word."
"Sure, it's not like it is a secret that girls can be surprised," Sly turns around and they reach the next set of stairs where they see that they are in the clear until one floor from the pent house suites. Sly Cooper asks, "So what is your Guardian like?"
"Guardian?" Ladybug asks in confusion.
"You know the guy who gave you your Miraculous and gave you the training and rules to use them," Sly Questions as they reach the next doorway.
"I don't know anything about a guardian," Ladybug states. Sly Cooper looks at her silently before shrugging and the pair enter the restaurant that has the staircase leading to the pent houses where they can hear a helicopter in the distance. Sly Cooper silently looks into the room and sees Chat Noir with his back facing them. Ladybug sees Chat and ran forward shouting, "Chat!" only to dodge a red yoyo and a clearly robotic Ladybug clone attacking her with large red eyes and lack a mouth. Chat Noir turned around and was clearly a robot of the same design only looking like Chat Noir.
Sly Cooper sighs as Ladybug was fighting a pair of copies of herself and Chat Noir as Sly Cooper started walking by them only to dodge a lasso made of rope that tied itself around a pillar and disconnected from the Metal Knight that tried to attack him, this one with cable launchers for arms and with spear tips that were used to stab Sly Cooper to pull towards it. The safe door attached to its chest. Sly Cooper briefly looks to Ladybug fighting her fakes and having some difficulty before Sly smirks and quickly dodged a spear tip grapple and through it toward the fake Ladybug spearing the robot before the Metal Knight could retract and then had the fake Ladybug to crash into the Metal Knight distracting it long enough for Sly Cooper to rush forward with his unlocking device to open the safe and steal what appeared to be a rope making device and getting out the way of Metal Knight that tore through the Fake Ladybug. Sly moved out the way as several Roboguards rushed down from upstairs where Sly managed to disabled several and Ladybug used the fake Chat Noir as a flying projectile and made her way up stairs past Chloe's room where she sees Chloe's head between Sabrina's legs, and then past Jagged Stones room where he was being passionate with his assistant that made her blush harder. Ladybug then reached Sin Queen's room where she stumbled at the intensity of power Sin Queen was walking to the pool with several RoboGuards pushing the bound and now blindfolded Chat Noir who was struggling covering in feathers and what appeared to be a vibrator applied between his legs. Chat Noir was being led towards the pool where Ladybug sees the helicopter floating above with cables and a rope ladder. Ladybug stopped the guards with her Yoyo where she then untied Chat Noir as Sin Queen rushed onto the Helicopter where she then flew away taking the pink energy with it.
Chat Noir groans as Ladybug frees him and was ungagged with the blindfold was removed and he sees his Ladybug freeing him. Once he was completely freed, he pulled Ladybug into a hug and says, "Thank you," he said that simply while Ladybug bit her lip at one thing that was poking her.
Ladybug blushes as she clears her throat and says, "It is okay, Chat," she pats his back as they continue to hug for an uncomfortable amount of time, both still feeling the effect. They were then taken out of their hug when suddenly the Metal Knight was suddenly thrown out the Hotel and crashed down below, before Sly Cooper grappled away from the Hotel and managed to escape. Ladybug and Chat Noir then released each other and waved goodbye to each other before leaving the Hotel as Patran X arrived with his own grapple reach the roof top before entering Sin Queen's room and proceeded to deactivate the traps installed in the building and then had a cleanup crew remove said traps. It was going to be a long night as he wanted to speak with Cooper and inform him of the cybernetic improvements that discovered were bonded to Speed Freak mainly the artificial joint he shattered.
Side effects of Sin Queen Marionette/Adrien View-Skip rest of chapter if you don't care for smut.
Ladybug/Chat Noir landed inside their rooms before transforming back into Marionette/Adrien before the two suddenly collapsed to the floor a hand in their pants as the brought themselves relief and after exactly five minutes and twenty seven seconds they both shouted, "Adrien/Marionette!" and calmed down needing a shower.
Marionette was calm as she laid on the floor while Adrien was wide eyed as he realised who he was speaking about and realised why he took notice of Marionette in glasses, "Cute girls in glasses," Adiren blushed at that and adds, "Marionette does look cute with them and she is a nice person and," Adrien groans and rolls onto his back thinking, "But I like Ladybug. This sucks." Only to start blushing again at the thought of both together before he rushed to his shower and had a freezing cold shower to calm down.
