Isekai'd as the new French Miraculous Superhero Team.
Chapter 35: Whiteblade vs. Darkblade.
(Quantic Universe Earth 19274729568301958374, Paris, France, January 7th, 2016, third person POV...)
Ladybug enters her room through the skylight on her balcony.
She detransforms into Marinette.
Marinette sighs as she remarks, "Well, that was refreshing, for a morning exercise of sorts."
Nadia Chamack says on the TVi News tab on Marinette's computer, "The French Miraculous Superhero Team have saved Paris yet again."
Marinette retorts, "And once again, Marinette Dupain-Cheng hopes to have enough time to finally finish building her magic box."
Tikki asks, "What is this magic box for, Marinette?"
Marinette answers, "Simply put, I'm using it to lock away my physical writing journal because of how big it is, and also because I don't want anyone potentially getting their hands on any of my secrets from my journal logs."
Tikki inquires in concern, "Your journal has every little secret you have? You're telling me that you and I were writing everything down into your journal, both paper and computer?"
Marinette answers, "Yes, and because of my foreknowledge, my trust issues, and my paranoia combined with my overly extensive knowledge about computers, I added firewalls that are programmed to only allow any one of my new recruits or any one of our current teammates to access them if they politely ask and if the computer detects no malicious intentions for any forms of recorded information within the hard drive, specifically if I or any of my clones aren't home for any reason. If the computer does detect such a thing or if anyone attempts to hack into the computer, several kinds of defense systems engage, such as a counter-virus, the bear-trapped magic box to replace the fake one in case someone tries to steal my physical journal, the taser sentries, and best of all, the same chain booby trap Copycat used on Cat Noir in the original timeline which I busted in this timeline."
Marinette sighs wistfully as Tikki asks again, "So, this is another example of how well-prepared you came?"
Marinette replies, "Yep."
Marinette then gestures for Tikki to try lifting her journal out of the magic box.
Tikki does so, only to get locked inside of it.
She yells, "(Muffled) Hey!"
Marinette points out in a deadpan, "You know you can phase through solid objects, right?"
Tikki replies inside the box, "(Muffled) Oh!"
Tikki phases out of the magic box and she says, "That was scary!"
Marinette replies, "Yes, but I wouldn't ever wish it on you, Tikki; you're one of my best friends, and true, kwamis can't experience romantical love in their small physical forms or in their giant humanoid god forms, but that doesn't change the fact that I look to you like a mother figure, nothing against my current or previous mothers."
Tikki tearfully accesses her regular human form and hugs Marinette.
Marinette then says in slight concern as she hugs Tikki back, "Please don't cry, Tikki; you're gonna attract an Akuma."
Tikki replies slightly tearfully, "I can't help it. You literally said something nice that I'll never forget!"
Tikki releases Marinette and wipes her tears while calming herself.
Nadia then says from Marinette's computer, "Yesterday, Mr. Bourgeois was re-elected as Mayor of Paris for the fourth consecutive term. Right here, we can see Mr. Bourgeois with his daughter, Chloe."
Marinette looks at Chloe's face, and she can see Chloe looks stone-faced, even if a little uncomfortable.
Marinette then says, "Yeah, we definitely have to talk with Mr. Bourgeois about making sure that every reporter in Paris knows a thing or two about boundaries when it comes to any subject of TV news. Oh, and this reminds me: Class Representative Elections are tomorrow."
Tikki asks, "What's so bad about that?"
Marinette answers, "Tikki, even if I wasn't a reincarnated soul from another universe, I as Mikaela Haselwood and Marinette as her canon counterpart would never be able to handle the stress and difficulties that come with being a class representative with a cool head all the time, especially including when Lila comes along and strings as many people at school or in my personal life into her web of lies as possible."
Tikki replies back, "Well then, maybe you should run in the elections for class representative."
Marinette says sternly, "No. I made up my mind, and I ain't going to do it."
Tikki replies back, "But if you truly believe in something, you should attempt to make it work. It's better to fail than not having tried at all!"
Marinette's scowl deepens as she replies back in a calm but cold tone, "We will never talk about this again. Understood?"
Tikki replies sadly, "Yes, Marinette."
Nadia then says on the computer, "Meanwhile, Armand D'Argencourt, one of Bourgeois' opponents, and one of the fencing instructors of Francoise Dupont High School, was pounded into guacamole in the polls. As a matter of fact, D'Argencourt has gained the least amount of votes in Parisian history."
Marinette bemoans before saying, "Great. D'Argencourt is gonna get Akumatized into Darkblade. I just know it. But then again, that's what Purple Streak is for."
Marinette looks at the clock on her computer and smiles before getting herself ready for school.
(Chloe Bourgeois' POV...)
I stood alongside my Dad in front of the Grand Paris Hotel as various news reporters, legitimate, tabloid, and otherwise, took hundreds to thousands, if not millions, of photographs for news reports detailing Dad's legitimate landslide victory against our school's fencing instructor and P.E. teacher Armand D'Argencourt for the position and rank of Mayor of Paris.
I'm definitely certain that I did massive amounts of good deeds to get Dad's approval ratings for Mayor of Paris past the maximum amount of people who want him as Mayor and past the minimum who don't.
Besides, I wasn't even making it decrease by acting like a spoiled brat like Canon Chloe, especially by persuading Dad to do whatever he could to ensure damage control is run perfectly and properly in this timeline, for example.
Adding to the fact that there was dozens if not hundreds of adults who wanted to thank him for passing the Chloe and Sabrina Act into law, thereby making them feel like their children and their future grandchildren will be safer at school without worrying about bullies or incompetent educators.
To say nothing about the Akuma Alert App that I helped bring to existence and Dad funded with our family's money, and it helped by 100%.
And seriously, I didn't and still don't know what D'Argencourt was thinking to attempt to defeat Dad in the elections while Dad's approval ratings from even the city council and the French President never, ever took even a small dip into the Mariana Trench for his entire term as our city's mayor in this timeline.
As a point of fact, Dad's approval ratings and amount of followers to make Paris a better place are actually increasing the majority of the time, day in and day out.
The moment that the majority of the photos were taken, Dad and the hotel staff carefully escorted me to the car without anyone attempting to interview me. And I got to school with little problems.
As soon as I got to the school, six students said one after the other, "Chloe! I saw the news on TV!" "Congratulations are in order for your dad!" "He won again!" "Pretty soon, you might be taking his place as an adult!" "My family and I love your dad's way of running the city!" And "We'll be supporting you in the future!"
I said in response to all of them overall, "Thank you all for your well wishes. I'll be sure to tell Dad about them when I see him after school later on today."
I had maintained my signature public smile as I properly made my way through the packed hallways of the school to get to Ms. Bustier's class.
Traditionally, the masses would separate to give me enough space to move past them. But it stands to reason that because of the election and the announcement of the results, they actually felt like they needed to talk to me right away, otherwise they would offend me, or forget later on, or something else along those lines.
But as I told them time and time again, it doesn't matter if they congratulate me or if they don't because it was my dad who won the election because of his good deeds and efforts to do his part to protect his people and his home, and also because not only was it obvious who was going to win depending on their deeds, their visions for the future, etc., but also because I wanted to get to class on time.
The instant I got to class, my classmates gave me their congratulations and their well wishes, too.
Class progressed as usual until Ms. Bustier called Sabrina and myself to the front of the class before lunchtime to stand there as she announces the usual proceedings for the Class Representative Elections.
Ms. Bustier says before asking, "Chloe is running for the position of class representative, and Sabrina is running to be her class deputy. Do we have any other candidates for the election?"
Nobody spoke up or raised their hands, not even Marinette and/or Rose.
I'm gonna be honest here, running in any elections without an opposition may make things easy and not so complicated, but it becomes a mundane routine after the third simultaneous majority vote victory. But I have indeed been using my position as a badge of honor, and I wouldn't be surprised if Marinette wanted to run against me.
Ms. Bustier sighs as she says, "All right, class, I'll give you until the end of lunchtime to decide if you change your minds about not being candidates."
In the Francoise Dupont courtyard, I walked up to Kim and inquires, "Why didn't you try to run for candidacy? Besides the fact that you're not exactly blessed with the same intelligence as me, Sabrina, Marinette, or Max, I heard you talking about how you wanted to change some things for the school. So why not run in the election?"
Kim answers as he gently scratches the back of his neck nervously, "I... I don't really have the time to do it between classes and swimming."
I replied back bluntly, "I can understand not having enough time, but that is still one of the worst excuses I'd ever heard."
Kim blushes as he also frowns at what I had to say.
I then queried, "And what about you, Rose?"
Rose answered, "Well, you already do such an incredible job, Chloe! You always get the teachers and the school board to listen to reason and actually do their jobs, so therefore I'm perfectly happy that you're in charge of being class representative! Especially since you bought for the Art Club all of those new art supplies! Thank you so much!"
I nodded in response to that before I asked Marinette, "Marinette, how about you?"
Marinette answers coolly, "No thanks. Besides, between keeping up with my grades, working in my parents' bakery, advancing for my fashion designer career, and having to hide in Akuma Bunkers to avoid getting killed, let's just say I don't need any more stress than I can handle."
I replied back before saying to Sabrina, "Then that's that. Let's go, Sabrina."
Sabrina and I went to the Dupain-Cheng bakery and we ordered for ourselves some eclairs, some cookies, some croissants, and some fresh baguettes, thankful we had enough time to properly make sandwiches for ourselves.
But shockingly, Sabine insisted we go upstairs and use whatever sandwich fixings they have to make our lunch sandwiches. And who were Sabrina and I to refuse?
After we had our lunch, we went back to class.
We sat for seven minutes early as typical, and we waited until Ms. Bustier started class again.
Ms. Bustier then questions expectantly, "So, class, are there any new candidates for the position of class representative and class deputy?"
I looked all around the classroom, and nobody raised their hands. No one even spoke up. Looks like everyone didn't even want to give it a try. It's mundane, but not necessarily unwelcome.
Ms. Bustier sighs as she says, "Given that Chloe and Sabrina are the only candidates for this election, there is simply no point in voting. So, Chloe and Sabrina are the Class Representative and the Class Deputy. Since the both of you already know what to do, I won't go over the details of your jobs. Please bring the paperwork to Mr. Damocles before the end of class tomorrow."
I replied, "Yes, Ms. Bustier."
I then walked out of class and Rose came up to me.
I asked, "Let me guess: you need me to provide more comfortable chairs for class?"
Rose answers, "Yes, please? Maybe pink ones?"
I answered, "I'll see about the comfortable chairs, but I can't guarantee that they'll be pink. After all, not everyone likes pink, such as Marinette and myself, for example."
Rose nods in understanding, secretly afraid of me giving out a punishment if she gets to strike two and gets Akumatized over a small thing that can't be given for good reasons, again. Yeah, I haven't fully gotten over Rose's Akumatization into Princess Fragrance just because she didn't get her love letter delivered to Prince Ali at the Paris City Children's Hospital Toy Drive for good reason.
Nino then says, "And you know, Chloe, it'd be primo if we could listen to our favorite songs while studying in the library."
I replied, "Absolutely not."
Nino asks, "What? Why not?"
Sabrina took over as she explained while asking rhetorically, "Would you be willing to accidentally get yourself locked in the library after closing time just because you have music in your headphones blaring loud enough to not get a headache and still not be able to pay attention to your classmates unless you feel them rubbing your shoulder to get your attention?"
Nino's mouth hung open as he replies back, "Ohhhhh..."
Ugh, I tell you, audience, sometimes my classmates can be incredibly dumb.
Juleka then starts to say, "Uh, you know – "
But I said, "Stop right there; I know what you want in an instant, Juleka."
Sabrina then sees Adrien and asks him, "Adrien, Chloe can count on your support, right?"
Adrien replies, "Yes, of course."
Adrien then left, my guess is, to his fencing class.
Marinette then says, "Chloe, you have my support all the way."
I couldn't help but hug Marinette and give her 3 la bise's, making her laugh as if I was tickling her ribs, which is what I think her good-natured laughter is the equivalent of, anyway.
Marinette states as I released her, "Chloe! That tickled a bit!"
I replied, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
Marinette replies back, "I know, but try not to make it a habit, okay?"
I replied back as well, "I'll try my best, but no promises."
Marinette nods before going to her parents' bakery.
Sabrina then asks me, "So, shall we get going, Chloe?"
I replied, "Yep. Let's go."
(Third person POV...)
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Adrien is in Mr. D'Argencourt's fencing class.
Adrien and Armand D'Argencourt are striking their fencing sabers against each other in an attempt to score a hit.
From the entrance, Nadia Chamack and her cameraman are hidden from view as they sneak in and see D'Argencourt.
Suddenly, Armand pretends to be open to attack by standing still with his arms stretched out to his sides.
Adrien charges and Armand turns around with his saber behind his back, he catches the handle of Adrien's fencing saber with the blade of his own saber, and Armand spins around, disarming Adrien and sending him to the ground.
Adrien remarks as Armand removes his helmet and goes to Adrien's fencing saber, "Wow, Mr. D'Argencourt, I've never seen you so fired up in such a manner. That was such an amazing feint-and-strike maneuver."
Armand balances Adrien's fencing saber on the blade of his own and hands it to Adrien while replying, "It ought be. This particular maneuver hither was invented and perfected by my ancestor, Darkblade."
Adrien questions, "Darkblade?"
Armand explains, "In the days of yore, Darkblade was a knight and excellently skilled swordsman who conquered Paris and ruled it with an iron fist. That is, until he was overthrown vence by a wealthy Frenchman who used his dirty gold to buy the loyalties of the common people."
Nadia and her cameraman quietly approach Armand as he starts to go on, "And to think that only about 600 or so years ago, my ancestor's flag was waving in the wind above Paris' City Hall..."
Nadia interrupts to ask, "Is that why you ran in the mayoral election, Mr. D'Argencourt? To seek revenge on your ancestor's behalf?"
Armand exclaims aghast before demanding, "Par le fer! Who dost we have hither?"
Nadia answers before asking again, "Nadia Chamack. Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Do you have anything to say about your quote-unquote landslide defeat?"
Just then, Fred Haprele comes up and demands, "Excuse me! Hey, you! How did you get in the school?!"
Nadia says quickly and nervously as she drags her cameraman away, "I think it's time to get back to the studio!"
Fred shouts as he runs after them, "Get back here!"
Adrien growls, "Reporters like Ms. Chamack... Can't live with them, can't reason with them about boundaries when it comes to important events. Period."
Armand says angrily, "Indeed, yond Agreste. Here endeth the lesson."
Armand storms off.
In Hawk Moth's lair, the window opens and Hawk Moth remarks, "A loser and an utter failure in an election who can't hold up a candle to Anaximandre Bourgeois. But he is the perfect candidate to launch my own campaign."
Hawk Moth turns a butterfly into an Akuma.
He sends it off and says, "Fly away, my evil little Akuma, and take control of this defeated fighter!"
The Akuma flies off to Francoise Dupont High School.
In her observatory, Purple Streak senses the positive emotions of joyful pride and peaceful happiness and relief coming from Verddun Detienne, a martial arts and fencing instructor for Institute El Marhomy School Of Martial Arts who just got off work and finished showering himself off, ready to do his daily laundry.
Purple Streak remarks, "Hmm... there's truly nothing more satisfying for a martial arts teacher like this one than when his or her students pass the lessons of the day without complaints, even without being strict. Still, Verddun can prove useful against Darkblade."
Purple Streak makes a Tenshi and she says, "Go, my heroic little Tenshi, and recruit this undefeated combat teacher!"
The Tenshi flies to Verddun's residence.
Outside the school, Armand is leaving, but then Nadia and her cameraman appear out of nowhere, somehow having evaded Fred Haprele, and Nadia asks, "Mr. D'Argencourt, it has been said, and I quote, that you're '"figuratively and literally stuck in the Dark Ages like a stubborn, rusty old battle axe."' What do you have to say to that?"
Armand snarls as he starts walking away, "Poisonous wretch! Darest thou approach me with such venomous questions?! Be gone now, pestilent pain in the neck!"
Armand suddenly bumps his nose into a telephone pole that has a poster of Andre Bourgeois on it.
Briefly holding his nose in pain while making sure that there's no blood coming out, Armand shouts with rage as he slices the poster to pieces with his fencing saber.
The Akuma butterfly, sensing his rage, flies over discreetly and merges with the blade of his saber.
Armand looks up as the butterfly symbol appears over his face and Hawk Moth remarks from his lair using telepathy, "(Telepathically) Darkblade, I am Hawk Moth.

Armand/Darkblade replies darkly, "When the flag bearing the symbol of mine ancestors and their coat of arms lies once more upon the roof of City Hall, then to thee I shall be indebted!"
He turns into Darkblade, a modern version of his ancestor in modernized knight armor.
As Armand turns into Darkblade, Nadia nervously makes her cameraman aim his camera at the Akumatized knight.
Nadia starts asking nervously, "I-is there anything y-you'd like t-to say about your t-transformation into a – "
Darkblade finishes for her, "Darkblade, the lord of Paris!"
Darkblade raises the cross guard of his sword to Nadia and her cameraman's eye levels, and a red laser beam shoots out and hits them in their foreheads.
The twosome kneels down, and Darkblade taps their shoulders gently with the blade of his sword, knighting them and turning them into knights with the same gray armor as he has, but with bright green designs on their epaulets and helmets that differ from his own, and with the same generic black and dark green battle axe as large as they are.
Darkblade then says as his new knights rise up, "Thou shalt become my knights! Soon, mine army shalt and wilt be immense and unbeatable!"
He slices the billboard in half with his sword before saying further, "We shall take City Hall by storm and reclaim the throne from Andre Bourgeois, the usurper!"
Meanwhile, in his residence, Verddun gets out his training sword and starts practicing some swordfighting maneuvers before the Tenshi merges with it.
Purple Streak then says, "Whiteblade, I am Purple Streak. I'm granting you the power to not only create clones out of people regardless of gender, height, or weight, but also the ability to turn them and any clones of yourself into knights. My team needs your help to defeat Hawk Moth's newest victim, Armand D'Argencourt, also known as Darkblade. So, dost thou accept the mission?"
Verddun/Whiteblade replies, "Aye, I do heartedly accept thine mission!"
Verddun is transformed into Whiteblade, a replica of Darkblade in opposite colors.
He then proceeds to do his job and expand his army, one person and/or clone at a time.
Meanwhile, back at Francoise Dupont, Plagg remarks, "Whoa, that right there's some medieval madness, no puns necessary!"
Adrien re-enters the school and heads to the boys' bathroom.
Adrien then says, "Plagg, Claws Out!"
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir.
Darkblade approaches Placide and remarks, "Zounds! What a fantastic beast to join our conquest of Paris!"
He turns Placide into a knight.
Civilians start chanting over and over, "Par le fer!" as Darkblade increases his army.
Darkblade marches in front of his army of knights as he remarks, "Let us do battle, knights! Par le fer!"
Just then, Ladybug and Cat Noir arrive with Whiteblade and his own army.
Darkblade exclaims, "Par le fer! What is this mockery?!"
Ladybug replies while pulling out her Star Saber, "Oh, this is not a mockery, Darkblade. This is a battle of superior numbers! Look beyond me!"
Darkblade tilts his head to the side, and he steps back in shock as he remarks, "She bluffs not! We are outnumbered!"
Ladybug then says, "Decepticons, ATTACK!"
Whiteblade's army charges towards Darkblade's army and they start fighting.
Later, on the Lock Bridge, Darkblade and Ladybug are heavily fighting.
Cat Noir pitches in and strikes Darkblade's helmet, dazing him.
One of Darkblade's knights tries to slice off Ladybug's wings, but she blows the knight away with her super breath.
Darkblade then tries the same feint-and-strike he did before.
Cat Noir, having been debriefed about the Darkblade Technique by both Armand before he became Darkblade and having been debriefed about the potential weaknesses to exploit by Ladybug, manages to safely vault over his Akumatized fencing instructor turned evil tyrant knight without giving anything away, courtesy of Ladybug using her wishing power, and he goes to strike.
Darkblade is pushed forward, and Cat Noir tries the same technique.
Darkblade remarks, "Hahaha! Trying to use mine technique against me?! Thou hath failed!"
Darkblade charges.
But then, Cat Noir turns around, catches the handle of Darkblade's sword with the blade of his own sword, and disarms him, sending Darkblade to the ground.
Whiteblade then brings his sword down on Darkblade's sword, and the evil knight's sword shatters into pieces.
Ladybug purifies the Akuma and launches her Miraculous Ladybug into the air from her yoyo.
Everything destroyed was returned to normal and Darkblade was immediately turned back into Armand D'Argencourt.
Armand questions, "Hmm? Huh?"
The three heroes bump fists, and the three heroes disperse, with Whiteblade being turned back to normal in his apartment complex and every member of his army either returning back to normal or ceasing to exist.
In Hawk Moth's lair, Hawk Moth snarls, "Ugh! Our duel is not over just yet, Ladybug! At the end of our battle, I will rule!"
The window to Hawk Moth's lair closes, once more engulfing the lair in darkness.
Ladybug goes back to her room and turns back into Marinette.
Meanwhile, Chloe pulls out her laptop, beginning to type up a proposal to her father to make the press less invasive with interviews and questions.
Chloe says to herself, "If the Parisian press wasn't so nosy, Mr. D'Argencourt would never have become Akumatized into Darkblade."
In Marinette's bedroom, Marinette says as she crosses off Darkblade from her list, "Well, that's Darkblade accounted for. Up next is Otis Cesaire, aka Animan. The only kind of Akumatized supervillain who can turn into any animals, including T-Rexes, but not including dragons, thankfully enough. I just hope we'll be able to use Hunter to combat Animan."
The End.
