Isekai'd as the new French Miraculous Superhero Team.
Chapter 33: Hawk Saber's War.
(Quantic Universe Earth 19274729568301958374, Paris, France, December 27th, 2015, third person POV...)
In the residence of Porteur De Févin, just 2 days after Christmas had ended, Porteur was fast asleep in his apartment in a city still covered with small inches of snow.
But what was about to wake him up was a reminder from a certain someone that today was his birthday.
Of course, Porteur didn't even mumble in his sleep as the door to his bedroom creaked open as someone silently walked inside.
The said someone carefully jumped onto Porteur's bed and started batting his nose insistently while purring.
Porteur wakes up and sees his black and orange Maine Coon cat Felicienne staring at him with a smile while purring.
Felicienne meows as if she was saying, "Happy Birthday, Dad."
Porteur pets Felicienne as he replies, "Well, you're the first one to wish me a Happy Birthday, my dear. Thanks."
Porteur gets up as Felicienne jumps off the bed and struts to the kitchen.
Porteur does his usual morning routine before going into his kitchen, only to see Ajjaxx floating there with a drawing of the both of them holding hands while flying over a city not unlike New York City and with a sunny sky background that was accompanied by birds flying higher than Ajjaxx and Porteur in the drawing.
And next to this drawing was a kwagatama.
Ajjaxx states, "Happy Birthday, Porteur!"
Porteur smiles before frowning in disgust at the kwagatama, having been previously educated by Marinette about what a kwagatama is and how it's made.
Ajjaxx states, "I know you think kwagatamas are disgusting, but unfortunately, this is the only kind of birthday present kwamis know how to make without having a human form to go out and buy something more meaningful."
Porteur replies, "Well, even so, it's always the thought that counts."
Ajjaxx hugs Porteur's cheek.
Porteur then asks, "So anyway, what do you and the others have in mind for celebrating my birthday?"
Ajjaxx answers, "Well, I don't really know; it'd been two months since I last took part in a similar discussion and I'm easily forgetful."
Porteur then shrugs before sitting down to breakfast.
After about a few hours of the team congregating and celebrating Porteur's birthday, Ladybug then shows the team a hologram of Fort des Adelphes Military Base to see what Porteur's uncle Toulouse Gérardin was doing.
Outside of the Fort des Adelphes military base, many soldiers along with the ones actually stationed at the base stood in unison at attention as a military helicopter landed on one of the helipads.
A fair-skinned man steps out of the chopper.
He was in his early 30s, stood six feet and 11 inches in height, had broad shoulders and a power builder's physique, had short platinum blond hair, and no facial hair.
He was wearing a bulletproof coat over a protective leather shirt, lime green pants with a camouflage tint, brown combat boots, and a utility belt with two holsters to carry his sidearms, and he had a badge to signify his position as a U.S. Lieutenant Commander.
Everyone familiar and unfamiliar with this man could tell that not even the harshest military generals would want to mess with him or make him mad.
Several soldiers saluted the man, and he returned the salute.
He then approaches a man similar to him in rank despite being a native of France.
After about 10 to 45 minutes of watching the whole interactions between the Lieutenant Commanders and between Toulouse and his general, Ladybug then says, "Now, no doubt Hawk Saber is gonna wreak havoc, but I already notified Mayor Bourgeois and President Benoit about what had happened before it happened. Therefore, General Gérin is gonna be in big trouble with them both when we're done here."
Moggie Rex then says, "Then let's free my uncle and teach the General Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross wannabe some manners."
The heroes took flight.
Meanwhile, Hawk Saber is walking through the streets of Paris when the French Miraculous Superhero Team flies and hovers in front of him.
Hawk Saber says in a deep but slightly high-pitched robotic voice, "So, you are the legendary French Miraculous Superhero Team."
Ozzy Bubba replies, "You guessed right, and by the time we're through with you, Hawk Moth is gonna wish he had stayed away from the original Butterfly Miraculous!"
Screechclaw then says, "We already handed in the evidence of General Gérin's threat and abuse of power; so really, it's not gonna be through Hawk Moth that you and your nephew get payback, but rather, through the political power that President Benoit and Mayor Bourgeois possess!"
Hawk Saber growls as he activates a quad squad of arm-mounted machine guns and chain guns on both arms along with a minigun on his right shoulder and a tank cannon on his left shoulder.
The heroes deployed their shields and they blocked and deflected the bullets and tank rounds while the ones with both swords and shields in some cases either deflected the bullets and tank rounds, bashed the tank rounds away, used their swords like a Jedi fighting a Trade Federation's Droideka Destroyer Droid to deflect and slice the bullets in half, or even all of them all at once.
Ladybug remarks, "Ough, it looks like Hawk Moth's powers can easily make a military soldier-turned-Cybertronian robot knock-off as equally powerful as an actual Transformer."
After dodging the bullets, missiles, and everything else, Ladybug secretly used her wishing power to snap the robot out of existence, leaving only a smaller robot in it's place and the Akumatized Bluetooth earpiece behind.
The smaller robot deploys its remaining weapons, but the bullets, tank rounds, missiles, grenades, and incendiary bombs don't even make Ladybug flinch.
Ladybug purifies the Akuma and uses her Miraculous Ladybug to fix every damage inflicted.
As Toulouse regains consciousness, he remarks, "You're the French Miraculous Superhero Team?!"
Cat Noir replies, "Yes we are, Colonel. You were Akumatized for the first time, but thankfully, no one got hurt and no one died. But as for General Gérin..."
Several police officers carried the former and now discharged General Gérin to a squad car, with Mayor Bourgeois proudly saying to the press that a new general will be recruited and what had happened today will hopefully not be repeated.
President Benoit approaches Toulouse and says, "I'm sorry about what General Gérin did. But rest assured, we're keeping him in La Santé Prison under solitary confinement. And to make sure that we don't have a repeat of today's events, Mayor Bourgeois and myself will be passing a bill into law that signifies that should a soldier have a scheduled day or week off to spend a holiday with their families, their generals are under strict orders not to force their troops in the aforementioned category to return to base for work and to not unfairly strip their troops of their ranks or court-martial them or discharge them, and to not practice abuse of power in any similar way should the soldiers try to argue their logical points about their vacations. If any general refuses to follow the new standard protocol, they will be the ones discharged, and should they sign up with Hawk Moth willingly, they will be thrown in La Santé Prison along with General Gérin. Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Moggie Rex in particular begged for this bill to be thought of and passed through legislature to be ratified and approved by the Government of the French Republic."
In no time, Porteur managed to have the best birthday ever, but he had to remember what Ladybug told him: even his uncle can't know who the members of the team are, for Hawk Moth could find out in some ways that she took 14 minutes to explain, but she managed to get the point across nevertheless.
In Marinette's bedroom, Marinette crossed Hawk Saber off her list.
Marinette remarks, "Well, up next is Dark Flower. I just hope Archangel will be able to help us in case any of our reinforcements are either unavailable or incapacitated."
Marinette goes back to her exercise regiment, which surprisingly included her flexibility when it comes to doing acrobatic combat maneuvers such as swinging her opponent into his allies by wrapping her legs around her opponent's neck while doing a headstand in battle to pull off the acrobatic combat maneuver.
Marinette practices for fifteen minutes before showering and heading to bed, anticipating that New Year's Day was gonna be slightly hectic.
The End.
(Bonus scene: Gabriel rots in prison.)
Gabriel is escorted to his cell.
Gabriel sits on his bed and moans.
Gabriel states, "Imagine that. I got what I wanted, not in the way I imagined, and I'm rotting in prison while my son has disowned me and is now in Emilie's shared custody with her wretched sister and my deceitful (bleep!) of a nephew. I wish I had sought out the Guardian to revive Emilie, now that Queen Bee and Ladybug have opened my eyes."
The guard at the doors to the rows of solitary confinement cells quietly cackled to himself.
In the short time span of 2 days, Gabriel was sent to solitary confinement, and even with that, he learned the hard way that the prisoners of La Santé Prison are much more skilled in fighting than he is without his Miraculous enhancements and even while in a maximum security prison, the prisoners are all too happy to put him in his place regardless of how tall or how muscular he really is.
(Author's notes: Shorter than usual and without a second bonus scene, I know. But I couldn't find the proper way to depict the fight between the heroes and Hawk Saber without using anyone else's takes on similar Akuma fights in their own stories. Besides, I don't want to get in trouble for plagiarism.
Anyway, the next chapter is kind of self-explanatory, so, see you all in chapter 34: Dark Flower vs. Archangel.)
