Wow, this chapter's was way longer than I wanted it to be.
Okay, two things I'd like to say before you start reading.
One: This chapter's an original chapter that thought of when I was looking for comic dubs for the previous one. This takes place a while after Mr. Pidgeon 72.
Two: We have our first new O.C., and I could not be happier!
Shoutout to INFERN0BOLT for request the first requested O.C. for this story.
Seven elemental Miraculous left people. If you have an idea for an O.C., you better tell me while you still have time!
Now let's get to the chapter already!
About two weeks later...
"Glare, Shadow, Dim the Lights."
We see Aaron come out of an alleyway while singing. He was in a great mood today.
"You've been doing really well, Aaron." said Glare, "Four akumatized victims in these past fourteen days! You're getting good at this." "Why thank you, Glare. Something about Ladybug now making those magical charms make me more confident that we'll stop Shadow Moth. I can tell you now, something's gonna make this day even better."
He went back to singing, when suddenly he was cut off when something from the side flew in and landed by his feet.
He picked it up and said, "Where'd this spring come from?" He looked where the spring came from and saw someone carrying a box full of stuff down the street.
He went up to him saying, "Hey dude!" The guy carrying the box stopped walking and turned to Aaron. "You dropped this. *puts spring in box*" "Thanks."
Now with him turned around, I can tell you what he looks like.
He's a teen like Aaron, is dark skinned, has short black hair, red eyes, has on a red shirt under a black leather jacket, black jeans, and black combat boots.
"Hey, you're the Ace, right?" "Ace's my stage name. Aaron Palmer. I'd shake your hand, but you've got them full. Need help?"
"No, I got it." "You sure? That box doesn't exactly look light. If not that, I can help you with something else." "(to himself, quiet tone) Well, I could use a hand with testing it...(normal tone) Okay come on."
Aaron followed him all the way to his house. In front of it was a table with some kind of machine on it next to some tools.
"Ooh, what's this thing?" "Don't touch it. It's almost done."
The boy took the spring out of the box and went to work on the machine. Aaron just watched in awe. The boy went behind the machine and went back to tinkering.
When he stopped, he said, "Okay, now it should work, (sarcastic tone) he said like the other hundred times. (normal tone, to Aaron) Hey, Aaron, could you flip the switch by the cone?"
Aaron looked for the switch, saw it, then flipped it.
The machine made a noise, then the boy put his hand bin the box, and pulled out, a cup? He put the cup under the cone, and a second later, shaved ice came out of the cone. Huh, it's a shaved ice machine. A handmade shaved ice machine.
"*sighs in relief* Finally, it worked." he said. He pulled out an orange bottle, poured some on the shaved ice, and pulled out a spoon and straw and put it the cup of shaved ice.
"Want some?" "I'm good, man."
He shrugged his shoulders and had some of his shaved ice. "Y'know," Aaron started, "I'm not a guy that judges people by appearance, but when I first saw you, I didn't think you'd be much of a tinkerer, I thought you were-" "*raises eyebrow and smirks* A rebel or something?" "Uh..." "It's okay, I get it all the time. I'm actually a nice guy when you get to know me."
Then Aaron realized, "Hey, I never got your name." "Oh, I'm Cyrus, Cyrus Wilson." "Nice to meet you, Cyrus."
After the two talked for a while, Cyrus invited Aaron in the house. He met his parents and after that, he followed him up to is room, which was full of handmade stuff he made. Hanging on the wall, was a black and red keytar.
"You play?" "Yeah, I grew up New York learning to play keytar." "Hey, I'm from the U.S. too. So, this is your first time in Paris?" "Actually, it's my second time. I was here on vacation when I was five in the summer." He said, as he laid on his bed.
Aaron looked around the room again and his eyes landed on a picture frame on a dresser. It was of a five-year-old Cyrus with two other kids, a boy and a girl.
What got his attention, was both of the other children's appearance. They both had black hair, but the girl had red eyes, and the boy had cyan eyes.
"Hey, Cyrus, who are these two?" he asked.
Cyrus sat up to see what he was talking about, and when he did, he said, "I met those two when I was on vacation. Those twins were the best. I still keep in touch with them, and I promised them that we'd see each other again."
"Twins?" Aaron thought as he looked at the picture again. He looked closely, like he seen them somewhere before. Then it clicked. All he had to was imagine the tips of their hair dyed different colors.
"Hey, Cyrus, these two wouldn't happen to have the last name 'Couffaine', would they?" He sat up and looked at Aaron. "...You know them."
"Give me a second." The singer said, calling someone on his phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Mari, where are you right now?"
"Am at Juleka's right now, why?"
"Oh, no reason. You don't mind if I come over with a friend, do you?"
"Uh, sure."
"Great, see you there. *hangs up* Hey Cyrus, how would you react if I knew some friends that also know your friends and are at their place now as we speak?"
"I'd say that I am very, very glad that I met you."
"C'mon, were going."
We now see Aaron and Cyrus going down the Seine, approaching the Couffaine residence's houseboat, Liberty.
Aaron's been here before when he helped out making a new song with Kitty Section, the band his friends made. He met Anarka, Juleka's mother, and Luka, her older twin brother.
"Permission to come abord, cap'n!" Aaron said to Anarka, when they made it to Liberty. "Ahoy, Aaron! Aye, permission granted, come abord!"
He always liked Anarka's pirate accent.
He and Cyrus came aboard and saw Marinette, Rose, and Ivan. Juleka and Luka were doing something in another room.
After a greeting, Aaron said, "Guys, this is Cyrus Wilson. He's someone I met today that moved here to Paris." "Nice to meet you all. I-"
He was cut off when he saw the Couffaine twins come in. They also stopped when they saw Cyrus. Aaron looked at the twins then Cyrus. He moved out of the way.
After a few seconds of silence, Cyrus smiled and said, "Hey, Juleka. Hey, Luka. How've you been?"
Juleka immediately ran up to him and hugged him tight. Luka walked over to him too and hugged him also. Cyrus hugged them back.
"I'm glad to see you guys too." he said.
"Why didn't you tell us that you were in Paris, Cyrus?" said Luka. "I wanted to surprise you two. Thank Aaron for helping me find you guys."
Luka looked at Aaron who winked at him. "Thanks Aaron." "*points at him* No prob."
Luka let go of Cyrus, but Juleka still held on.
"I missed you so much..." she said. Being three inches taller, he looked down at her and said, "I missed you too, Juley." Okay, that names kind of cute.
"I thought ye looked familiar." said Anarka who came in as Juleka let go after a long sum of seconds, "Good to see ye again, Cyrus. C'mere!"
She suddenly and unexpectedly pulled Cyrus into a hug.
Both something Cyrus wasn't ready for, and something that made everyone laugh.
An hour or two later...
Everyone else onboard watched as Cyrus reconnected with the Couffaine family members.
"It was nice of you to help Cyrus, Luka, and Juleka back together, Aaron." "Thank you, Rose. I'll call it my, *puts transition lenses on his glasses* good deed for the day."
Everything was fine, until-
"Help me!"
Everyone turned to look at the street and they saw a woman running away by someone.
That someone was a woman with her hair in a ponytail. Her hair's hot pink, but it looks like there's splashes of paint of all colors on it. Her outfit's a navy-blue bodysuit that has small heart and star patterns at the wrists and ankles, and on her chest were stars with a crescent moon. Weird.
Weirder thing, she's flying.
"Aw, what's the matter? Be a big girl for me, and act your age!" The woman blasted a beam from her hand at her, and right after she was hit, she went from woman to toddler! Not kidding! She was turned into a four-year-old!
The woman laughed then noticed everyone aboard Liberty who were looking with surprise and grinned before saying, "Well, well, well. Look what Juvevile's found."
"Run. Run!" Said Cyrus as everyone got started running off the boat. Anarka, Ivan, and Rose weren't so lucky. They were the last one's trying to get off, but Juvevile blasted them before they could, then they were turned young too.
"Mom!" Luka tried to go for her mother, but Cyrus pulled him back just in time to save him from a beam. "Sorry, Luka, but we need to get out of here!"
The three then ran out of there to somewhere else.
Marinette and Aaron both went in separate directions. You know why.
When Aaron was by himself, hiding behind some trashcans, Glare and Shadow flew out of his jacket.
"Guess I'll have to do another good deed for the day. Glare, Shadow, Shine the Light!"
After transforming, Twilight ran off with Light Speed to find the rest of his team.
Meanwhile with Luka, Juleka, and Cyrus...
Those three made it to an alleyway where they would be safe for some time.
"Phew! When you guys said that there were supervillains appearing in Paris so much, you weren't kidding."
"Do you think we lost her?" "*looks at alleyway entrance* Nope! Get down!"
Cyrus and the twins got on the ground to escape Juvevile's beam. "Run!" said Cyrus as they left the alley.
"Why can't you all act like good children and do what the adult says?"
"On three, we split." "No wait!" said Juleka, stopping Cyrus, "We just got together again. We can't just split up!" "We have to. The last thing I want to do is leave you guys again, but we stand a better chance if we split up. I promise, I'll come back when we get through this."
Juleka looked into his eyes. She could tell that he was going to keep his promise.
"...Okay."
"Okay, three, two, now!"
The three then split up.
With the heroes...
We see Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Twilight, who was at normal speed, running across the rooftops.
Seeing the streets, almost everyone around was turned into children.
"I've seen kidding around, but this? It's a little much." "You said it Cat. Out of all the tings we've seen though, this feels like a Tuesday. Almost."
"Focus you two." said Ladybug, "We need to find Juvevile."
Twilight looked ahead and said, "I don't think that'll be a problem."
The three moved to avoid Juvevile, well minus Twilight. He got hit. He didn't change, but he was knocked back a bit.
"Whoa, that felt strong." he said.
The three still evaded Juvevile's attacks. That was until she did a fake out which caught Cat Noir off guard.
"Cat Noir!" exclaimed Ladybug ad Twilight.
One quick blast was all it took to turn back time on Cat's age.
"(toddler voice) Wha?" said Cat, seeing his new appearance.
"Okay, time to go. Light Speed!"
Twilight picked up Cat as he and Ladybug got out of there.
"Now that the cat's a kitten, getting his Miraculous will be a lot easier."
The three are now in a park somewhere.
"Now what?" said Cat.
He then noticed Twilight laughing. "Hey, what's so funny?"
"Dude, I cannot take you seriously. That look and your new voice? *laughs, then laughs harder* I just imagined him saying 'Cataclysm' like that!"
Ladybug started laughing too.
"Ladybug, Twilight, stop laughing! This is serious!"
"Okay, okay, I can make it up to you."
Twilight whispered something into Cat's ear, and after hearing, Cat went with it.
Ladybug was thinking about what to do when suddenly Cat Noir went up to Ladybug and hugged her leg.
"Huh? Cat?"
He then backed up a bit, pulled out a rose, showed it to her and said, "I love you, Ladybug!"
Ladybug just looked as Twilight went up to her and said with a smirk, "What's the matter? Can't reject him like that? He even has a rose in his hand, Ladybug, a rose. What to do, what to do?"
Yeah, Twilight told Cat that he should take advantage of the situation and try to confess while he's like this.
"OKAY, we've got to get you back to normal right now!" she said, while picking up Cat Noir and carrying him under her arm, before zipping out of here with her yo-yo. Twilight followed her.
"What about my confession?!" "You're a kid! Kids say, 'I love you' all the time!" "Oh, come on! I was being serious! And can you stop carrying me like a football player?!" "NO."
"*sighs with a smile* You two are a riot."
We see Cyrus hiding by a wall and peeking out to see if the coast is clear.
When he did, he spotted Ladybug, Cat, or should I say, Kitten Noir, and Twilight going by above.
"So those were the three heroes Luka and Juley were talking about." He thought.
He decided to follow them discreetly.
He had to hide again because after a while of following them, Juvevile showed up and tried to attack the heroes.
The heroes were at a disadvantage because Cat couldn't maneuver much when he was his normal age, and Twilight and Ladybug were protecting Cat while fighting.
However, Twilight leaped at her, pulled her down, and held her in a hold.
"Ladybug, there's nothing on her!" he said, looking at Juvevile.
Ladybug came over to see. There was nothing visible on her, but what there was something hidden on her?
"Look, her wrists!"
Looking closely at the wrists, the heart and stars were charms. Ladybug reached to grab one, but instantly she was blasted by Juvevile off the building.
"Ladybug!" Twi immediately let go of Juvevile gabbed Cat and followed after her.
When they got on the ground, they were both relieved to see that someone caught her.
It was Cyrus.
"(toddler voice) Thank you." she said as she was put down then dusted herself off.
Okay, Twilight and Cyrus would be lying right now if they said that Ladybug didn't look and sound adorable right now.
Yet, Twilight snapped back to reality when he realized something.
Both of his teammates we now four, meaning that they now have less of a chance to defeat Juvevile. To pile on to that, since they're now toddlers they can't fight as good as they used to, the akuma needs to be captured and Ladybug's in no shape to do that, and even though Twilight can't be affected by the beams, they're still strong enough to knock him back.
Even if he got close enough and pinned her down, he doubts that it would last long.
Let's not forget that he has to protect Ladybug and Cat Noir from getting their Miraculous taken.
He was interrupted when his super sense went off.
He got everyone on the ground just as Juvevile tried shooting them.
Cyrus looked around and his eyes landed on a dumpster. He made his way to it.
"Hold on, you two!" He then ran off carrying Ladybug in his arms and Cat Noir on his back. Juvevile was flying after them, trying to shoot them. Luckily Twilight was faster and dodged every attack.
As they ran through the streets, there were a lot of child-turned-people.
Shadow Moth from his lair was pleased. He knew that there was no possible way that these three could win this time.
"Phantasm!" The three then went invisible.
Juvevile looked around trying to find them, but then out of nowhere she was hit in the face by something. It was a rusty can.
She looked at where it came from and saw that it was Cyrus with the dumpster. It was open, and there was some kind of wheel with scoops on it.
"Time to take out the trash." he said before hitting the dumpster making the wheel activate. Scoops of garbage started hitting Juvevile left and right.
"Luminosity." said Twilight as the heroes appeared next to Cyrus, "Nice one." "Oh, thanks. I do stuff like this all the time. This should keep her occupied."
That gave Twilight an idea.
"I know what to do! (to Cyrus) I'll be right back. (to Ladybug and Cat Noir) Hold on, again."
They then sped off.
We cut to Luka and Juleka who were at the Arc de Triomphe.
Even though Cyrus said to split up, these two still stayed together. Luka was keeping guard, while Juleka's mind was still on Cyrus.
Luka noticed this and said to her, "Don't worry, Cyrus is smart person. I'm sure he's fine."
"He is."
They turned to see Twilight carrying his teammates. They were shocked to see that Paris's former heroes were turned into four-year-olds.
"What happened?" "Things took a wrong turn. But don't worry, I have an idea. (to his teammates) I need you two to stay with the Couffaine twins for a bit."
"What are you gonna do?" asked Ladybug. "You'll see." he answered.
Before he sped off again, Juleka asked, "Wait, how's Cyrus doing?" "He's doing fine, we ran into him earlier. That's a great friend you have."
Then, he sped off.
Back with Cyrus...
To make a long story short, Cyrus ran out of ammo and is now running from Juvevile.
That was until Twilight sped in and said "Phantasm!" making them both invisible.
Juvevile gritted her teeth.
"He's alone." said Shadow Moth telepathically, "Juvevile, find where he's taken Ladybug and Cat Noir and bring me their Miraculous!"
You know, I think that's the first time we did that.
Juvevile then flew off to find the two.
When she left, Twilight made them visible again. "Where're the other two?"
"Somewhere. Look, we don't have too much time, C'mon."
He pulled Cyrus over to an alleyway and when he checked and knew that no one was watching or listening, he said, "What I'm about to do and say cannot be known by anyone else. At all. Can I trust you?"
After a second, Cyrus said, "...Sure, but what is it?"
Twi swiped his finger across the top of his left thigh making a pocket appear. He said while reaching into it, "I need help with Juvevile. I need someone smart and brave enough to help me out, you interested?"
"Um..."
"This is for Paris. You'd be helping everyone."
"Okay, I'll do it."
"Great, then you'll need this." He pulled his hand out of his pocket and it disappeared after. "Cyrus Wilson, *opens palm* here is the Miraculous of lightning, which grants the power to stun. You will use it for the greater good. Can I trust you for this job?"
Cyrus looked in awe he then nodded with a smile.
"Then I, the Twilight Fighter, now make you the official wearer of the Lightning Miraculous."
The dark blue lightning necklace flashed white for a split second. Cyrus took the necklace and when he did, Volt appeared.
When he saw Cyrus, he went, "(excited tone) Whoa, who's this?! Is this my new holder?! I can't wait for the adventures we're gonna have! Do you think-"
"Volt, we're on the clock. (to Cyrus) Sorry about him; he gets exited easily."
"It's okay." Cyrus said, finished putting the necklace on.
"Remember, once the job is done, the Miraculous must be returned to me. Even though no one else can touch it but you and me, we can't have Shadow Moth try to get to it or have plan to use it to his advantage. Understand?"
"Gotcha."
Volt said, "Ready?!" "Yes I am." "Okay! To transform, say 'Volt, Strike away'!"
"Volt, Strike away!" Volt flew into the necklace.
Cyrus raised his arms, and lightning struck down into them and traveled all around him, changing his look. He was given a gray leather hooded top with luminous blue highlights, a black belt, and black leather trousers with blue lightning stripes. He pumped his fists together and electricity made metal gauntlets on his hands. He stomped both his feet making metal boots appear on each one. Some electricity made a black strap appear on his back and a battle axe. To finish it off, he traced lines around his eyes making and combat goggles.
"Not bad." said Twilight, "Come on, try to follow me."
He wall jumped out of the alley and Cyrus followed after.
Cyrus could not believe what is happening. He just moved to Paris and he's now a superhero.
Woah, déjà vu.
At the Arc de Triomphe...
Well, things aren't looking too great.
Everyone's running away from Juvevile who just appeared.
Suddenly, they were all cornered. Ladybug and Cat Noir were getting worried. Where was Twilight?
The twin braced themselves as Juvevile shot a beam.
However, it didn't hit.
They saw that a person holding an axe appeared with Twilight just in time.
Things got personal fast. Cyrus just met up with his friends today after years, and after seeing what just happened?
Oh, he's on the edge of losing it.
"I got Ladybug, you get Cat Noir."
He nodded.
They place the children-turned-heroes on their backs, and Cyrus said to the twins, "Go. Now."
They left A.S.A.P..
Juvevile kept attacking them, but when you're transformed and given super agility, it makes things a lot easier.
After a bit, Twi said, "Hey, Ladybug, mind using your charm?" "Okay, Lucky Charm!"
This one turned out to be a horseshoe magnet...which ended up falling on Twi's head because now that she's smaller and younger, she couldn't catch it in time.
"Ow!" "Sorry!"
Twilight then noticed something about the charms on Juvevile. They were all metal. That gave him an idea.
"(to Cyrus) Time to use your power, dude. *speeds off to get something*" "Got it!"
After dodging two more beams, Cyrus said while aiming his palm at her, "Shocker!"
A bolt of energy shot out of his hand and shot out at Juvevile. She was now flying closer to the ground, was slouch a bit, and looked only a little tired.
Noticing her state, she tried shooting another beam at him, but Twilight got in the way.
"Nice! It's not as powerful! (to Cyrus) Keep her focused on you." Cyrus nodded. "Phantasm."
As Twi and Ladybug went invisible, Cyrus and Cat Noir kept Juvevile distracted.
It's known that if someone's weaker than they normally are, they tend to focus on one thing.
What were Twi and Ladybug doing? Well, when they were invisible, Twi kept speeding past, while Ladybug used the magnet to take the charms from Juvevile.
"*pants twice* No fair...You cheated..."
She then noticed that all of her charms were gone. "Hey...!"
"Luminosity." Both Ladybug and Twilight turned visible next to Cyrus and Cat Noir.
In Twi's hand was a cloth that he went to get. In it was all of the charms.
He balled up the cloth and threw it to Cat.
"Cataclysm!" The cloth and the charms inside were then destroyed into dust.
"Miraculous Ladybug! *throws magnet*"
The magical ladybugs fixed everything, including the Cat and the Bug duo.
"*sighs* (normal voice) That's better."
Ladybug then captured the akuma, purified it, and Juvevile turned to normal, and to everyone's shock, she was originally a toddler.
"Wait huh?" said Cyrus. "(normal tone) That explains a lot." "Does it, Cat?" said Twilight.
After Ladybug gave her a charm, she turned to Cyrus and said, "Twilight must've went to go get you for help. Thanks." "*crosses arms* No problem." "Say, wat's your name, anyway Sparky?" joked Cat.
"Ladybug, Cat Noir, this is...uh..." "*smirks* Shango." "Well, it's nice to meet you Shango."
She was then cut off by the sound of beeping.
"You two go, we can take the kid home." Twilight said.
A bit later...
When the kid was returned to her parents, the told them that this started when their daughter thought it wasn't fair that being four. It was he final straw when her mom told her to act her age.
Anyway, passing by that.
In an alleyway, we see Cyrus giving back the Miraculous to Twilight.
"Nice work out there, Cyrus. Trust me when I say, this won't be the last time you'll be out in the field."
"I'll be waiting." he said before Twilight sped off.
Back to the Liberty, everyone including the twins were back onboard, and now we see Cyrus coming aboard and the second he did, he was hugged by Juleka. Luka just walked over like a normal person and hugged him.
"Don't scare me like that again!" she said.
When they let go, Cyrus let go and said to her while patting her head, "I'll try my best."
Is that a blush I see?
Okay, I know what some of you are thinking, and you're right. Look, I'm a Rose and Juleka shipper like all of you people, don't get me wrong, but INFERN0BOLT wanted me to ship Cyrus and Juleka. Please don't chew me out.
Watching from afar was Aaron and his kwamis.
He came back aboard also...and Marinette after one or two minutes.
All is smooth sailing from here.
No boat jokes!
Aw man...
Anyway, this concludes the chapter.
Again, shoutout to INFERN0BOLT for the new O.C..
I hope you guys enjoyed!
