Sabrina: Hi. I'm Sabrina. You know my dad. He's always keeping the civilians safe from harm. Guess that's my life now too. Being a hero is hard work. But it does feel good to save lives. Although... I have to be careful with the Sentimonsters I conjure up. They mean well, especially when we need them to save the day. But sometimes, they can be trouble. But not as much trouble as the villains the Butterflies whip up. Dad doesn't know the girl under the peacock mask. But that's okay. He'd freak out if he did. And... I just want to protect the city. And him. It's crazy. And scary. But that's my life. Just gotta live with it.
Jagged Stone struck the final chord on his guitar, ending the song. He bobs his head in satisfaction and smiles at the scores which contained his latest song. He looks down at his beloved pet crocodile who happily wagged his tail and stuck out his tongue in agreement.
She's so gonna love it.
Even when she's just checking her messages she's cute.
Marinette sat at the end of the stairs. She was too focused on her phone to notice the blond boy with the goofy smile behind her.
Both Lila and Chloe scowled disapprovingly at the way Adrien was looking at Marinette. Seriously. What does he even see in her?
Chloe looked down at Marinette. The blond's face suddenly morphed in surprise.
Marinette stood up, the smile on her face widened as she held her phone against her chest. Then she made a quick dash out of school.
"How in the whole wide world did Marinette Dupain-Cheng get Jagged Stone's phone number?" Lila exclaimed.
Surprisingly, no one heard her. Except her Team.
Chloe groaned internally. Oh great. Someone else noticed.
"Jagged Stone's number?" Sabrina echoed in fangirl-surprise, "Are you sure?"
The rest of the Team were equally surprised as well. However, they quickly dismissed the idea of famous rock-star Jagged Stone texting Marinette. The girls might have just misread the number. Someone else must be texting Marinette.
But Chloe and Lila were certain Jagged Stone was texting Marinette.
Thanks to the incoming weekends, Chloe had some free time for some shopping.
When she returned to the hotel, she spots Jagged Stone talking with his manager. When she heard the words "new song", she got excited, and curious.
Curious enough to sneak into Jagged Stone's suite while he's on snack break.
When she got there, a certain someone who also had the same idea was already there.
Before another argument between the two rivals could erupt, Lila flashed a (fake) friendly smile, "Chloe, we've been teammates for months. Let's not get our mutual love for Jagged Stone ruin our chances in being friends."
Chloe knew her smile was fake and replied "sweetly", "Of course, Lila."
The two entered the suite. Chloe knew her father would ground her for a week for doing this, but it'll be worth it.
Both girls closed their eyes and relished at the Jagged Stone energy surrounding them.
Tikki flew out and shakes her little head, "This is not going to end well."
"You said it." Pollen agreed as the bee kwami joins her.
Unfortunately, they were asked by their holders to find Jagged Stone's new song.
The kwamis found the scores, which their holders soon fought over, one tugging one side of the sheets.
When Jagged Stone returned to his suite, he was just in time to witness the two girls rip his new song into two.
Amshel smiled in amusement as he watches his niece hide her excitement.
Jagged Stone had ordered a box of pastries from the bakery and Marinette and her uncle were at the hotel to deliver it to him.
Let's just say... Jagged isn't just expecting the pastries-?!
A rock-star cladded villain suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wildly plays his guitar. Anyone who was hit by the musical wave coming from the guitar was rocking out to the beat like a mindless zombie.
Marinette screamed when she was snatched by the claw of a purple dragon. Who looked a lot like...
"Fang?!" She turned to the new villain, "Uncle Jag?!"
Guitar Villain jumps on Dragon Fang, "Hey Skipping Stone! All aboard the Dragon Express!"
Marinette screamed as Fang crashed through the roof of the hotel and took to the skies. Amshel could only watch as his niece was being taken away by an akumatized rock-star and his pet dragon.
"Nice job!" Chloe snapped at Lila.
"Oh please!" Lila shot back.
If seeing two girls rip his song wasn't enough to akumatize Jagged Stone, he also had issues with pop-star XY.
Apparently the two were rivals in the music industry and Jagged Stone refused to do a duet with him.
By the time the two holders caught up to him, they witnessed his akumatized crocodile grab Marinette.
And did she just call Jagged Stone "Uncle"...?
Whatever. Time to transform.
The moment he saw Marinette in the claw of a dragon, Adrien realized his greatest dream (one of them) was coming true.
After transforming into Chat Noir, he managed to find the nearest awning to jump on and launched him towards the dragon.
The plan worked, and he managed to grab Marinette, and brought her down safely on the roof. For a few, short, seconds, he relished the warmth that came from his princess hugging him in gratitude, before he went after the villain.
He couldn't lay a single attack on the guy; the villain kept blasting the hero with his powerful sound waves.
An attack struck him, causing him to collide with a wall before landing on the ground in pain.
Queen Bee and Ladybug arrived at the scene. Queen Bee wrapped her trompo around Dragon-Fang's tail, which then pulled her in, launching her towards the rider.
Instead of colliding with Guitar Villain, the bee villain collided with someone else's fist. She managed to stop herself from falling by grabbing a hold of Dragon-Fang's scales, then glared at her enemy.
"Sorry Queenie! This is my jam!" Mariposa grinned and did a little air-guitar, which delighted Guitar Villain.
"You always do have utterly terrible taste in music." Queen Bee scoffs.
The bee heroine managed to leap and plans to tackle Mariposa, but the younger butterfly uses her surprisingly strong wings to slap her out of the way.
This time, the striped heroine had no means to stop her fall.
Luckily for her, her saviour came, wearing a costume in a peacock motif.
Hawk Moth landed on Fang, then turned to Guitar Villain, "This is nice, but I was hoping you would take the request of a lover of the musical arts."
"I'm all ears Rock Moth!" The villain screamed as he continues to play on his guitar.
The older butterfly flashed an evil smile.
This was not good.
Chat, Azula, and Ladybug managed to dodge Guitar Villain's waves, but Bee, Rena, and Carapace were turned into Guitar Villain's mindless minions. Not only were they forced to rock to Guitar Villain's music, they must also fight their teammates against their will.
The heroes have to find a way to save their friends and purify the akuma. But how?
Azula crash-landed near a music shop. Once she managed to snap out of the shock, she spots a harp by the broken window. She shifts her gaze when Guitar Villain played again.
Then an idea came to her. If they're dealing with a musical villain, then they'll fight fire with music.
She infuses one of her feathers with her power, then let the feather fly and land on the harp.
"You need a break, Kitty. Lucky for you, the Party King is in town." Mariposa giggled and turned to Guitar Villain, "Ooh. That should've been your villain name."
Chat glared at the younger Butterfly as he struggles to break free from his controlled teammates' hold. Ladybug couldn't help him because she was knocked unconscious.
Guitar Villain played his guitar. A musical wave of dark energy was unleashed at Chat. The hero closed his eyes, and braced himself for impact.
But it never came.
Another musical wave collided with the dark musical wave, and both waves dispersed. A confused Chat opened his eyes, and ears, to the sound of harmonious music being played in the background.
Whoever was making that soothing music was snapping Guitar Villain's victims our of his trance. The villain himself was hatingthe music. He glared at the giant dove playing a harp in the sky.
"Even rock-stars need a little classical music to rev them up!" Azula Paonne grinned.
The sentimonster the peacock heroine summoned clashed musical waves once more with the akumatized rock-star.
The sentimonster won, much to the surprise and irritation on the Butterflies.
Chat finally managed to break free, but only because the sentimonster's soothing music made his teammates fall asleep. He rushed to get the akumatized object, only to fall asleep to the soothing music as well.
Azula grinned with guilt. The thing about the sentimonsters, is that sometimes they act on their own will and out of her control. Even after she asked the harp-playing dove to stop, it kept playing.
She went to Ladybug's side and woke her up. Then Ladybug grabbed Jagged Stone's akumatized guitar and smashed it against the ground.
No black butterfly came out.
The two heroines were surprised, and confused. If the akuma wasn't in Jagged Stone's guitar... then where...?
While Guitar Villain was still unconscious, Azula searched his pockets. She recalled the villain hiding something in his pants when she was saving Queen Bee.
What she pulled out, was a set of music scores, all tainted dark violet.
Like the wings of a corrupted butterfly.
From the shadows, Hawk Moth watches with disappointment as Ladybug once more purified the akuma. He looks down at his protege, who laid in his arms with a peaceful look on her sleeping face, after she heard the sentimonster's music.
They weren't getting any close to their goal. They'll have to think of a better plan to defeat those heroes.
All they have to do, is find a weak link among the heroes.
She never got a chance to read Jag's new song. Thanks to a certain someone.
When she read the song, the notes weren't the first thing that caught her eyes.
It was Marinette's name written on the paper.
Jagged Stone dedicated his new song to Marinette Dupain-Cheng...?!
"Uncle!" A worried Marinette tackled Jagged Stone in a hug, which he returns.
Ladybug gaped before her face morphed into anger, "Y-you're an only child! Did you just let a crazy fangirl blackmail you into-"
"We're not related." Jag cut her off. Annoyance was written all over his face, "But her dad was a brother to me."
He grabs his song from Ladybug, and left with Marinette and Fang, leaving behind two stunned superheroes.
When the others came to, they were surprised to find out that Jagged Stone was Marinette's "uncle".
Believing this was all a ruse to make Marinette more popular, Chloe had given her phone to Pollen. The bee kwami flew inside Jag's suite and used the phone's video-chat feature to record what was happening while the Team, who were outside the hotel, watched from Alya's phone.
Both Jag and Marinette were lounging on the floor on Fang as if the croc was the softest furniture in the world. Jag was gently strumming his guitar as he sang his new song, which Marinette was enjoying to as she listened.
The song didn't have the same tune Jag had in his other songs. It was soft, not wild. Hearing it makes you want to meditate rather than rocking out.
Jag ended the song and smiled softly at Marinette, "Your parents used to sing that to you when you were little. Makes me wish they were here to join the party."
Marinette's eyes were starting to tear up, and she tightly embraces her uncle. Fang joined in the hug as well.
The Team, including their kwamis, (minus Lila) had to control themselves from crying loudly so that they wouldn't get caught and just let the tears from their eyes flow.
Jagged Stone wasn't family, but he was still there for Marinette when her parents disappeared.
"Some secrets must remain secrets for reasons."
The Team flinched as Gabriel took the phone only to watch the scene.
For a moment there, Gabriel's face softened. Then he turned to the Team with a serious gaze, "For Marinette's sake, I hope this remains a secret."
The Team slightly flinched, but they knew what he means.
If everyone found out about Marinette's relationship with Jag, they may get the wrong ideas. Very wrong ideas. Then Marinette won't have some alone time listening to Jag's possible new songs because people will be constantly asking and begging her for spoilers or sneak peaks. They'd even follow her wherever she goes, constantly bothering her normal life.
One day, Paris will learn of Marinette's super, secret rock-star uncle, but Team Miraculous won't be the revealers.
Also... they wish Marinette trusts Alya enough to share Jagged Stone's secret special song with her.
Okay. Until a very heartwarming, mind-blowing, satisfactory episode comes up, I am DONE watching Miraculous!
The season 3 finale had to end like THAT?! That's torture to us fans!
At this moment, I'm focusing on my Miraculous AUs. And other awesome AU's out there.
Let me know if there's an episode of Hawk Moth and Marinette having a heart-to-heart talk. Or if Marinette gets a puppy. Or Marinette being corrupted by the Butterfly Miraculous. Or etc.
