To respond to one of the comments. I know there is a butterfly miraculous and it belongs to Shadowmoth, but Madame Butterfly miraculous is not a butterfly. In another special story I will explain in detail what kind of miraculous Madame Butterfly uses or you can guess and write it in the comments.
Everyone in Paris was excited because the city represented the circus and many people wanted to attend. The students at Francois Dupont School also wanted to go. The circus was very famous for its performances, so tickets were bought like hot cakes. Workers were already setting up a tent in central Paris near the Eiffel Tower. Of course, Marinette would go with Adrien, but by fate, Alya, Nino, and Alya's sisters would come with them. This upset her somewhat, although she didn't mind looking at her best friend's sisters, she wanted to be alone with Adrien and try to explain her feelings to him.
"Friends, are you going to the circus." Marinette asked excitedly.
"It will be interesting, I've never been to a circus before. I can't wait to see the performances." Adrien said, very excited to go to the circus with his friends.
"We're all very excited about the circus." Said Max. "I realized there would be a lot of animal holograms for the show because this circus had long since given up on using live animals."
"Yeah, I think that's very nice." Rose said. "This way the animals will not be locked in a cage. They will not suffer just for our fun, because think how many animals in this world are suffering and their voices remain unheard. I think their example will make others give up using them too. live animals and will set them free."
"Yeah, that's really great, because we're not sure if they feed animals well, so there's no danger of being eaten." Zack said calmly and carelessly, as if that were perfectly normal to say.
But when his disciples heard this, they all looked at him strangely and surprised. He noticed the looks of his classmates and answered in the same carefree voice.
"What? No one goes to the circus without having a little hope that during the show, someone will be eaten by animals or crushed, depending on the size of the animal, especially if you have an elephant with you, it certainly hurts a lot."
"Oh, why are we talking about these things and I'm not going without it. I don't want to mess with the villagers there, it's not a big deal, it's just a circus." Chloe said as she was getting her manicure done, and she was tired of everyone commenting on how nice it would be to go to the circus.
"Chloe, if it's not a big deal, then don't come, it will be much better for both you and us. Of course it will prevent any problems. One of which is that we will not poison each other." Said Zack.
"Oh, why don't you shut up a peasant like that and we go back to your little third world country." Chloe said with a smile, which was to show that she was making fun of him and to show how much she was above him.
Zack frowned at her and would return the taunt, but then Scarlett suddenly stood next to Zack and said. "Chloe, you have no right to insult Zack in this way. For your information, Bulgaria is not a third world country. It may not be as developed as England and France, but it is still very ordinary, as it is here. But no matter where you live, some things remain the same, one of which is bad behavior."
"Oh really." Chloe replied, annoyed that she was being told that way. "I am the daughter of the mayor of this city and I am the richest of you all and this gives me the full right to speak as I wish and whatever behavior I choose."
"You know what, Scarlett, she's right." Zack said, agreeing with Chloe, but there was more to say than approval.
"What, do you agree with Chloe?" Marinette asked confused.
"Not quite, Marinette." Zack said, raising his hands to show Marinette not to talk for a moment. "Look at everyone, the fact is that Chloe has a lot of money and lives in expensive hotels, one of which is owned by her father. She constantly wears expensive clothes, expensive jewelry and eats expensive food, but these are just objects and things that everyone could have. So Chloe, I'm asking you what is your quality, which is not bought with money but you just have it. For example, see Nino, he is very good at music and has no equal. Nathaniel, too, he has a talent for painting, and although I don't understand any of his drawings, I accept that it's a kind of art that I don't understand. Finally, look at Adrien, unlike the other students, you don't treat him badly, which is somewhat good, but think about what he has more than you. He also has like you, has money, fame and lives a very beautiful and expensive way of life. Of course, he is very kind and polite, unlike you. He does not brag about everything he has, or more precisely about everything that someone else has. Because honestly, Chloe, without all this wealth, you have nothing."
"Ha-ha very nice speech. Don't make me laugh, I'm better than you and that's the most important thing." Chloe said, try to sound as if his words didn't make her feel bad.
"I think Zack is absolutely right about that, Chloe. I am also rich or more precisely my parents are rich and I live a really luxurious life, the difference is that no matter how much glamor and prosperity you have, in the end you got tired of this thing. I used to be like you, Chloe, I get everything I want and whatever I want, without moving a finger and without working for anything, but sooner or later you realize that you have no people around you. Zack can be a little weird and I don't agree with what he said sometimes. But I will agree with one thing he said, because I think it will be one hundred percent true. Without all the wealth of your parents, you have nothing. Everyone else has something that has nothing to do with their parents, and you have done nothing but brag about your wealth. Even the one you make fun of is coming from the third world. Again, he has done much more than brag about his parents' money." Scarlett said, and that silenced the whole class, including Chloe, because they had nothing to say. She knew to some extent that what they had said was true.
Chloe would answer, but then the bell rang and reminded all the students that it was time to get ready for class. Chloe was somewhat relieved that she didn't need to talk to these villagers anymore. Of course she was relieved, because she had no idea what to say or defend herself from Scarlett and Zack's words, because they were both right about it, and she couldn't deny it even if she wanted to.
The students felt the time as if they were moving like a snail. They kept looking at the clock on the wall every five seconds to see if the clock would end, and they felt the time slow down and felt bad when they saw that not even a minute had passed. Finally, after so much waiting, or at least the perception of waiting, the school bell finally rang and announcing to the students, who already couldn't wait, that today's classes were over. They all rejoiced and left for home.
Those students who were going to attend the circus had to wait a little longer, because the show would not start until 19:00. So they used their time to prepare and do their homework.
Zack went home and started cleaning the house. Zack didn't have to clean the house that often, but he loved order and system, whether it was putting books in alphabetical order or strict regulations, or a system that relied mostly on clutter. Although things were thrown away, Zack knew exactly where it was, even for an outside observer to look like it was complete chaos and nothing could be found.
"Welcome home, Zack. How was school?" Zack's mother asked.
"Completely normal," said Zack, who did not mention to his mother the fact that he and Chloe had a very bad quarrel. Because Zack saw Chloe's face completely shocked by what he said. He knew that she could hardly answer him correctly, and even if she did, her statement would not sound very convincing.
"After a while, lunch will be ready. So wash your hands and tell her kwami to wash her hands too, I made to them toast with butter." Said Zack's mother.
"Okay mom I'll do it." Open Zack. "Halub and Labag, let's wash our hands and get ready for lunch."
"It's still weird to me. Usually my previous owners hid us from everyone, even their closest friends." Labag said, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice because it was such a feeling he couldn't describe.
"I know Labag." Halub agreed with Labag. "But you'll quickly get used to being called out like that a few more times, and it won't impress you so much anymore."
"You're probably right. It's very strange, but I'm grateful to be seen as part of the family. Not just as a tool." Labag said, remembering how not all the owners them had treated him well before, but now he was happy to have another kwami with him and a family he could help.
They washed their hands and finally sat down at the lunch table. The two kwami, who were birds and ate mostly bread to recharge their energy.
"Well, boys, what do you think of the food?" Zack's mother asked.
"Very tasty." Said Labag.
"Yeah, the butter is just great." Halub, who was still eating his slice, replied.
"Yes, the food is really delicious. At first I was skeptical of French dishes, but after I tried them, they turned out delicious." Said Zack.
"I'm glad to hear you like it. I bought the butter I used to spread on the slices from your classmate's parents' bakery, her name was Marinette, wasn't it, Zack?" Zack's mother asked, who wasn't sure if she remembered his classmate's name correctly.
"Yes, they do sell delicious thing, but I'll stay away from this place for a while." Zack said, a little worried.
"Why, has anything happened that bothers you." Zack's father asked, curious about what had happened, that he didn't want to go there for a while.
"Well, it would be nice to buy breakfast from there every day, because it was very tasty, but once while I was buying something. Scarlett also walked into the store, and then Marinette's mother, Sabina, started calling us a couple. Scarlett and I were very ashamed of it and then we started arguing and then we left as soon as possible because we felt very ashamed. " Zack said as he rubbed his neck to calm down, while he talking.
"I think Sabina is right. You two are the perfect couple, you have known each other for many years and you grew up together. You were still kids when you were playing and I thought you two would grow up together one day and fall in love with each other and get married." Zack's mother said as she tilted her head slightly to the right and put her hand on her head, then her eyes looked up and she dreamed slightly.
"Mom, as long as that doesn't happen, we're just friends." Zack said, slightly embarrassed, and his face flushed like a tomato.
"That doesn't mean you won't want to be more than friends in the future. Look at me and my mother, we also started out as just friends, but in the end we decided to get married." Said Zack's father. He could see that this made Zack blush even more and embarrassed, and he buried his head in his hands to hide the shame he felt. "Okay Zack, we'll stop talking about this. Let's change the subject. I understand that you and your friends will go to the circus, when the show start?"
"The circus will start at 7 p.m., but I'll be out an hour early." Zack said, less flushed and embarrassed.
"What a circus, I've never heard of such a thing." Labag asked curiously.
"Labag, the Circus is a company of performers who perform a variety of entertainment shows, which may include clowns, acrobats, trained animals, trapeze dances, musicians, dancers, hoppers, rope walkers, jugglers, magicians, ventriloquists and others." Zack's father said, satisfying kwami's curiosity.
"Okay, I'm done eating. I'll be getting ready now." Said Zack. "Halub and Labag, you will come with me too, so get ready."
They nodded and walked to their owner's room to prepare for the circus.
The circus had begun and everyone was entering the tent. Zack, Adrien, Alya, Nino, Marinette, Scarlett, and Alya's sisters were at the entrance to the tent and bought tickets to get inside. When they entered the tent, their eyes were wide open and their senses were somewhat overwhelmed by the view that stretched around them. The tent was very bright and there were many performers everywhere showing their show. Adrien and Marinette watched as a woman walked on a rope holding only an umbrella. Adrien was fascinated by the fact that this woman could balance on such a thin rope and not be afraid of that height, and even though she had a safety net it was still very high and he would hardly do it. Of course, if he was the black cat, he wouldn't be scared at all, but like Adrien, he knew he wouldn't be able to do it, and just by looking at her he could feel his legs numb and freeze with fear. Marinette, on the other hand, admired the woman's clothes. This design looked very carnival with colorful colors and very strange geometric shapes that were painted on the clothes.
Alya, Nino, and Alya's sisters looked at the holographic animals that were in that part of the tent where it was less lit so that the hologram could be clearly seen. Alya's sisters were very excited, judging by their happy smiles on their faces. They had a lot of fun watching these animals, even if they weren't real, just holograms. Anna and Nino were also impressed by the holograms, because they looked a lot like real animals, even for a moment if you stop thinking they are holograms.
Scarlett watched a woman jump on a trampoline and do tricks in the air. She watched this woman and every time she was in the air she did a very nice spectacular trick. The little time the woman had in the air made her look as if you could see everything for even a few seconds. Scarlett had the feeling that when the performer did the trick, she saw her heroic identity flying in the air. Very often when she was in her superhero identity, her partners told her that when she flew in the air she looked very pretty with those butterfly wings, but she had to tell her new partners that her miraculous was not a butterfly even though her name was Madame Butterfly. Of course, she had many secrets to tell almost all of Paris, but she still didn't feel ready to do so. Not after that incident, and what she did to the white owl.
Zack, like the others, found someone to admire. He admired a magician because it reminded him somewhat of his superhero identity, which is very similar to a magician's stereotype. This magician was also a stereotype that he had everything one would expect from a magician top hat, cape, magic wand and playing cards. He did a very nice trick on him. He took a card from the deck and showed it to everyone, then put the card back in the deck, shuffled the cards, took out the top card, and of course it wasn't the card he had shown, but he hit the card several times with the magic wand and the card suddenly appeared before their eyes had turned into the same card he had shown at the beginning.
Everyone applauded the magician for the trick he had done, including Zack, who found the trick very interesting. Zack also had card skills, but those skills only showed when he was with the pigeon miraculous. Of course, he could use the dove's miraculous whenever he wanted to make card numbers, but he knew he couldn't use his power whenever he wanted, and he had to control himself by such desires.
Despite all this joy that is felt in the tent. There was a man who did not feel joy but rather sadness. There was a man in one of the tent's dressing rooms who was very sad. Everyone in the circus was either making fun of him, and not in the good sense of the word, or hurting him in any way possible. So he hid here so he could be alone with his pain. He only wanted to bring joy to the people, but it seems that all he received was a negative attitude. A large round window opened in Shadowmoth's hideout, and many butterflies began to fly from the ground.
"A man who wants to give happiness and smiles to people is now just a mockery to everyone. An ideal candidate for my akuma, "said the Shadowmoth.
A white butterfly flew into the Shadowmoth's hand, he covered it with his other hand, and the butterfly was absorbed by dark energy, turning it black and purple.
"Come on, my little akuma, and make him evil." Said the Shadowmoth, and the butterfly flew out of his hand, went through the window, and went to his next unfortunate victim.
The purple-black butterfly reached the tent and managed to enter the room where the sad clown was, ready to become another supervillain, who would be under the influence of Shadowmoth and follow his orders. The clown did not notice how akuma landed on his red rubber nose, because he had his eyes closed so that he could move away from the world and the problems, when akuma entered the object, the shape of the butterfly and Shadowmoth's voice appeared on the clown's eyes. He began to speak in his head.
"Evil Clown, I'm Shadowmoth. People have been laughing and making fun of you, how about you make them scream in fear instead of making fun of you. I'm giving you the strength to do it, but in return I'll want you to bring me the miraculous of the ladybug and the black cat. Do you agree."
"Yes Shadoumoth, I will show all of Paris that if they do not accept the joy of the Clown, then they will accept the sadness of the Clown." Said the Clown, and the akuma began to transform him into the Evil Clown.
Zack, Scarlett, Adrien, Nino, Alya, Alya's sisters, Marinette, would watch the big show until they heard screams of terror. They turned to see where the scream was coming from and were horrified to find that I had an akuma that looked like a Clown. Marinette motioned to Alya, winking at her with one eye, which for Alya meant taking Nino and her own sisters to a safe distance while she transformed and won the akuma. She quickly made Nino take one of her sisters and walk as far away as possible. She made him do this so quickly that he didn't have time to think about the situation and ask questions that might reveal her girlfriend's identity.
Marinette managed to find a hiding place where she could transform completely safely.
"Tikki, I need to transform myself to help the people they are in a dangerous situation in this tent." Marinette said
"Then Marinette let's do it." Tikki said.
"TIKKI! SPOTS ON!"
Marinette brushed her hair back as Tiki flew into Marinette's earring. Both Marinette's earrings turned red and 5 black spots covered the surface of the earrings. Marinette covered her eyes before moving her hands away to fasten her mask. Marinette held out one hand as a bright pink light stuck Marinette's suit over her. Marinette's yo-yo materializes around Marinette's waist and her transformation into a Ladybug is complete.
Adrien had also found a place to transform.
"Plagg, Paris needs us." Adrien said.
"Oh, should there always be attacks at the best. Not that I like the circus very much, but should there be attacks so often." Plagg complained
"PLAGG! Claws out!"
Adrien's ring changed from silver to black before Plag flew into the ring when a green paw print appeared on the ring. Adrien shot his hand over his head. Adrien waved in front of his face as his mask materialized before running his hands through his hair, forming his cat's ears. Adrien spread his arms as his suit appeared from the center of his chest to his arms and legs. Adrien's belt and wand also materialized around his waist and Adrien completed his transformation into a black cat.
Scarlett also managed to find a hiding place where she could transform without being seen.
"Ruda, there seems to be an attack from the akuma and we have to stop it." Scarlett said.
"I agree, Scarlett, and remember that you must first focus on the battle and then explain your love to the white owl." Said Ruda.
"RUDA. BEAUTIFUL WINGS."
Scarlett's miraculous began to glow, and Ruda entered it. She touched her face with both hands and her the mask appeared, then raised her hands in the air and her the suit began to appear. Then she crouched slightly and from behind beautiful butterfly wings began to come. Finally her shield appeared and her transformation was complete.
Zack quickly managed to find a hiding place where he could transform to defeat the akuma.
"Halub, Labag. Akuma attacked the circus and we have to stop him before he causes more problems."
"Halub, Labag double transformed."
Halub and Labag flew to the bracelet and ring, and Zack began to transform as a bright light began to circle his body. Zack touched his face and head at the same time, then his mask and top hat appeared. He raised his hands in the air and a cloak appeared behind him, then a belt with a deck of cards attached appeared around his waist. Finally, Zack raised one hand and a decorative cane appeared, and his transformation was complete.
The evil clown is having fun while creating chaos around. The people screamed and hurried out of the tent as soon as possible. In a hurry, a man stumbled and fell to the floor, and it was very bad luck for him, because the evil clown was looking at him with a big evil smile. The man looked at him with great fear.
"Hey serious sir, why are you frowning, give her a smile." The evil Clown said and inflated a few balloons, then made a dog out of the balloons.
Dogs made of balloons began to growl and walked towards the fallen man, but just before he hurt him, the balloon dog was burst by the stick of the black cat.
"It's not very funny if you ask me, attacking defenseless people is not a lot of fun." Said the Black Cat.
"I agree with you, black cat." Said the Ladybug.
"Ladybug, black cat, I was just going to take your miraculous," said the Evil Clown, laughing maniacally.
He pulled out a few more balloons and made a balloon sword out of them. The evil clown began to attack the ladybug and the black cat. They quickly prepared for battle and began to defend themselves. The black cat tried to hit the evil Clown, but his attacks were unsuccessful and the evil Clown grabbed the black cat's stick and managed to knock him to the ground. Ladybug was also unlucky. She attacked the evil Clown with her yo-yo trying to keep him away from the black cat, but the evil Clown managed to catch the yo-yo and pulled him hard enough so that the ladybug fell to the ground and she was in a very unfavorable position, because the evil Clown was right above her.
"Now, Ladybug, I'll take your miraculous." Said the Evil Clown with an evil smile on his face.
The evil clown reached out to take the ladybug's miraculous, but before he could do so, his hand was struck by the white owl's cane. The evil clown cried out in pain, but he didn't think about the pain for long because Madame Butterfly hit him with her shield while she was in flight. Madame Butterfly's hard blow threw the Evil Clown, and it hit a wall.
"Hello, ladybug, I'm sorry I'm late and they almost took your miraculous." The White Owl said, apologizing for not being able to come faster.
"Are you all right, ladybug and black cat?" Madame Butterfly asked as she helped a ladybug to its feet and the white owl helped the black cat to its feet.
"We're fine, and there's no need to apologize for not being able to arrive on time. We know how hard it is to get out and find a place to transform, but now I think you and my beautiful lady should use your forces. " Said the Black Cat.
"You're right, black cat, and you're going to have to help us, because I think I know where the akuma is hidden, and only your cataclysm will help us. I guess the akuma is in the rubber nose, and because it's made of rubber, we can't destroy fast enough, but you can. " The White Owl said, trying to praise the black cat for being an important part of the team.
The black cat nodded and smiled. The White Owl and the Ladybug saw the evil Clown rise from the ground but was still dizzy from the blow as they hurried to use their abilities. Kalinka summoned her 'lucky charm' and the White Owl removed the cylinder from his head, said 'abra catabra' and reached into the cylinder. The white owl pulled a flashlight from its cylinder, a ladybug received a large magnifying lens. The White Owl and the Ladybug began to look around for clues to figure out what to do with their belongings. Then they noticed the Evil Clown's face, the magnifying lens, and the flashlight glow, and they knew what to do.
"Black Cat, I have a plan, but for that you have to bring it to the big stage over there." The ladybug said and pointed to the place.
"Everything for you, my lady." The Black Cat said in a flirtatious tone.
"Madame butterfly for the plan, I want you to destroy all the spotlight." Said the White Owl.
"Alright, I will do it." Madame Butterfly said.
The black cat began to attack the evil Clown and lead him to the big stage, while Madame butterfly destroyed all the spotlights so that the scene became darker and nothing could be seen. Madame Butterfly managed to break all the spotlights and nothing could be seen on stage. The evil clown saw nothing, unlike the Black Cat, who had very good night vision. Finally, the White Owl and the Ladybug began to carry out their plan. The white owl turned on the flashlight and the Ladybug placed the magnifying lens next to the flashlight, which in turn eventually intensified the light coming from the flashlight. The evil clown was blinded by the sudden strong light, so he did not see Madame butterfly flying straight at him and taking the clown's nose and throwing it at the Black Cat. The black cat used his cataclysm to destroy the clown's nose and a dark purple butterfly emerged. The ladybug uses her yo-yo to purify the butterfly and a white butterfly flew from her yo-yo and then the ladybug repaired all the damage caused by the battle.
"We did it." They all said at once.
The group reunited and the circus resumed the show. The band has a lot of fun watching the performances that were shown on stage.
