Author's note.

So, looks like William does have a heart underneath all that jackass behaviour. Now, the fun can begin. And boy is it gonna begin. So, leave a review, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

Chapter 31

Loudmouth

The alarm clock went off, and Adrian woke up. He was still trying to wrap his head around what happened last night. He then heard a knock at the door.

"Come in" he said. The door opened and Valerie walked.

"Oh, hi Valerie" said Adrian.

"Morning, Master Adrian", said Valerie. "How was your sleep?".

"Very weird", said Adrian. "It's strange not getting up early to do photoshoots".

"Well, don't you worry about that", said Valerie. "Breakfast shall be ready in a few minutes. We're having Bacon and Scrambled Eggs". Valerie then left.

Meanwhile, William was getting dressed when Valerie knocked and came in.

"Breakfast will be ready soon, William" said Valerie.

"Thanks, I'll be down in a few minutes" said William.

Later, William and Adrian were sitting down for breakfast. William then noticed how fast Adrian was eating.

"Dude, slow down", said William. "If you keep eating like that you'll-". Adrian started to cough and choke. Before it could get worse, William slapped Adrian on the back. He then stopped coughing.

"Uh, thanks" groaned Adrian.

"Have you EVER had bacon before?" Asked William.

"Not in the quantity that's served here" answered Adrian.

'We'll, you need to eat more", said William. "According to Venessa, you are malnourished. But, that doesn't give you the excuse to eat so much that you choke on it". Adrian's phone then buzzed, he then looked at it.

"So, which one of the dipshits in the Akuma Class texted you?" Wondered William.

"Kitty Section are doing a rehearsal" answered Adrian.

"Kitty what?", asked William. "Is that a strip club?". Adrian blushed.

"No, it's a band", answered Adrian. "Julika, Rose, Ivan and Luka are in it".

"Okay, I recognise the names of Deathly Emo, Prissy Pink and Rock gut", said William. "But, who's the last one?".

"Luka is Julika's older brother", answered Adrian. "He can read people's 'Inner music' as he calls it". William cocked an eyebrow.

"There is a joke in there somewhere, but I don't know where", said William. "Should I even come with you? Apart from you, Marinette, Sabrina and Nathaniel, your class hates me".

"Pretty sure they can put up with you for me" answered Adrian.

"Alright", said William. "I'll entertain your idea". Adrian smiled. The Bones' limo then arrived at a boat house. Adrian and William then walked towards the house boat. There, they saw Julika, Rose and Ivan, but there was a boy with teal hair that William didn't recognise.

"Adrian!" Everyone shouted in excitement. William then walked in.

"And William" Julika said in disappointment.

"Nice to see you too, Julie" said William. Adrian then walked up to the teal haired boy.

"William, this is Luka" said Adrian.

"Hi Luka", said William. "I'm William Bones, the mayor's son".

"Nice to meet you" said Luka.

"Adrian's told me a lot about you", said William. "Mainly about how you can hear 'people's inner songs'".

"I can", said Luka. "And yours, yours is like a tiny violin melody being overshadowed by a rock concert".

"Hmm, not a bad description", said William as he walked in. "So nice crib ya got h-". William was stopped when he saw that there was a hand on his chest. He looked and saw who it belonged to.

"Oh, hi Julie", William said with a smirk. "Didn't see you there". He tried to move, but Julika wouldn't move her hand.

"You are not, welcome here" said Julika.

"Now that's not very welcoming" said William. Adrian then placed his hand on Julika's wrist.

"I invited him" said Adrian. Julika reluctantly removed her hand from his chest. William then sat down.

"Alright, I got an announcement", said Luka. "We got a gig". The members of Kitty Section were excited.

"I got it at Palacio De Oro" said Luka. That took someone the wind out of their sails.

"WHAT?!" Shouted Ivan.

"The band that was supposed to be playing had to cancel because of one of their band members getting injured", said Luka. "So, one of the workers sent the owner our song and, we got the gig".

"But the resort is owned by HIS father" said Ivan pointing to William.

"Need I remind you that YOU guys aren't exactly likeable at that place either", said William. "Especially after what Acorn bits did".

"Kim's grounded and doing community service and Alix is in the hospital because of you" said Rose.

"Hey", said William. "Those two dumbasses attacked me first. Hell, they are practically MADE for each other. Hmph, wouldn't surprised is they did it in the bushes".

"The gig is tonight", said Luka. "We need to practice".

"So, who's singing?" Asked William.

"I am" answered Rose.

"Ugh, I feel sorry for those people in the audience" muttered William. He then got up and walked away.

"Where are you going?" Asked Adrian.

"To the resort", said William. "I gotta tell Valerie that the theatre needs to be decorated for a teen band concert. You coming, Adrian?".

"Yeah", said Adrian getting. "I'm coming, do you think I'll get mints on my pillow again?".

"Of course", said William. "I'll even get them to make you the food you like".

"Wait, why are you going with him?" Asked Julika.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you", said Adrian. "I'm living with him now". Kitty Section just looked at each other in shock. Luka however, kept looking at William.

Meanwhile, Gabriel was sitting in his office, then his phone rang.

"Hello?" He asked picking it up.

'I thought you said that we had a photoshoot today, WHY DIDN'T I GET A CALL?!".

"All shoots have been cancelled for the foreseeable future" answered Gabriel.

'WHAT?! You said I could be in your muse if I kept bad influences away from-".

"Adrian's been taken out of my custody", answered Gabriel. "And, I won' t be able to get him back".

'Why the hell didn't you stop them, you're his dad-'.

"Apparently they don't like my parenting" said Gabriel.

'Then get him back! Your magazines are supposed to be coming out soon and-'.

"There's evidence against me", said Gabriel. "They said if I try anything, that and all my 'dirty little secrets' will be front page news".

'Well, who called them?'.

"William Bones", answered Gabriel. "And last time I check, you got beaten by him in a game of Poker".

'How the hell does he have ties to the legal system? I know that his father's mayor now, but-".

"One of the aunts on his dad's side works for CPS", answered Gabriel. "He sent info to her and that got everything they needed to get Adrian away from me".

'So, let me guess, you need me to get the evidence back?'.

"No, you are to do NOTHING!", demanded Gabriel. "If they find out I sent you, we're both dead".

'If this goes on for too long, people are going to get suspicious. We need to do-'.

"My hands are tied, as are yours", said Gabriel. "From what I can gather, you're supposed to be having a girls night tonight, to see Kitty Section play. Don't want to get suspicious now, do you?". He then hung up.

At the other end, Lila ended the call and put her phone away. She growled at this, if she didn't have her job, she could kiss her fame goodbye.

"You okay, Lila?" Asked Alya. The two of them were shopping for clothes for tonight.

"Yeah, I'm fine" answered Lila.

Agreste Manor.

Gabriel simply walked toward the manor entrance and looked at the picture of both him and Adrian. He just closed his eyes.

Palacio De Oro.

"You think someone's gonna get Akumatized?" Asked William. That question came as a shock to Adrian.

"Why would you wonder that?" Asked Adrian.

"Because we got a fat rock head, a prissy matchmaker, an emo lolita and from what I can gather", answered William. "Lila and Alya plan on having a 'girl's night' at the concert for Kitty Section".

"Why don't you invite Marinette?" Asked Adrian.

"I can't", answered William. "She needs her freedom. If I keep bringing her to things, she's gonna start slacking off on her work at the Bakery and school work". Adrian didn't have a response to this. How could someone who literally talked shit to Akumas and stood up to Chloe and Kim, PHYSICALLY and not giving a shit about it. Yet, he was able to know when someone needs freedom.

"You wanna go check on the Theatre that Kitty Section are playing?" Asked William.

"Uh, sure" answered Adrian.

"I'll have Valerie accompany us", said William. "Can't be too careful with certain people around". Adrian knew exactly what he was talking about.

They arrived to the theatre and saw that the theatre was decorating with with Kitty Section themed decorations.

"Geez, could they choose brighter colours?", asked William. "I feel like a tripping on acid".

"I don't really agree", said Valerie. "But they are rather bright". They saw Luka and the others setting up their instruments.

"Hi Adrian!" Called Rose. William gritted his teeth at the sound of her voice.

"Hey guys" said Adrian. Ivan, Rose and Julika saw that William and Valerie was with him.

"Before you fuckers ask 'what the hell is he doing here?'", William said mockingly. "I live here, remember".

"Hey guys".

"Aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww fuck!" Groaned William. He looked behind him to see Alya with Lila in tow.

"What the fuck are you two doing here?" Asked William.

"We came here to check the place out" answered Lila.

"You don't have fucking clearance", said William. "Besides, the concert isn't for another three hours".

"We just want to check out the place" said Alya.

"Not without clearance" said William.

"Then why are you here?" Asked Lila.

"Adrian wanted to check it out", said William. "And as his housemate, I feel obligated to".

"Housemate?" Asked Lila and Alya together.

"Oh yeah, he's living with me now" answered William.

"Why is living with you?" Asked Lila. This was the chance to finally get some evidence.

"It ain't your fucking business" answered William.

"As his model partner and girlfriend", said Lila. "I think it is".

"You ain't his fucking girlfriend" said William.

"Oh yeah, says who?" Asked Lila.

"Because if Adrian wouldn't date Chloe", answered William. "Why would he date you?".

"I'm nothing like Chloe" said Lila. William got in close to her face.

"Hey", he said. "You're fucking worse". Alya then grabbed William by the ears and brought him up to her face.

"HEY! Leave her alone!" Shouted Alya. William then smashed her head into her face. She stumbled back and held her nose. Surprisingly, it wasn't bleeding.

"Now get out!" Shouted William. Lila grabbed Alya and they walked out.

"You handled that pretty well" said Valerie.

"Thanks" said William. He then saw that Kitty Section, Minus Luka were looking at him.

"You guys got something to say?" William asked.

"What the hell's your problem?". William looked and saw that Julika was walking up to him.

"Oh, look who found her voice", said William. "I almost thought you were shouting".

"What! The hell! Is your! Problem?!" Said Julika.

"I know an abusive relationship when I fucking see one", answered William. "And that Italian has 'I'll slap and punch any man who doesn't obey me like a little fucking dog' written all over her face like fucking confession letter".

"She's done a lot more then you ever did", said Julika. "I wish I had a friend like her when I was Akumatized".

"I thought that was Marinette who cured you little 'photo curse' after you got turned into a fucking sex doll Akuma?" Asked William.

"Yeah, and looked how that turned out", said Julika. "Marinette's nothing but a bully, who can't stand the attention being taken off her".

"I think you got Marinette and Lila mixed", said William. "Besides, it ain't like you're any better". Everyone stared at her.

"When Rose got turned into Princess Fragrance because Chloe talked shit about her perfume", said William. "Where were you? When your idea got taken by Roth, you were quiet as a mouse. When Luka got Akumatized, you stayed quiet, and didn't even try to appeal to your own brother. You, little girl, are too weak, without someone to hold your hand". Julika looked defeated.

"Anyway, good luck with the concert", said William. "I heard it's gonna be a full house". He walked away, Adrian not following far behind.

"What was that about?" Asked Adrian.

"I was merely telling the truth" answered William.

"Don't you think she'll get Akumatized?" Asked Adrian.

"I'm counting on it" answered William. Adrian's eyes widened at this.

"Why would y-". William smirked at this.

"Maybe Ladybug and Chat Noir could beat some sense into her" answered William.

In the theatre.

"I'm, gonna go talk to William" said Luka before he walked off.

"Hey, wait". Ivan and Rose ran after him. Julika just grabbed her guitar and sat down. She knew deep down, William was right.

Hawkmoth's lair.

"The feeling of uselessness, the agony of inadequacy", said Hawkmoth. "My Akuma's will be right at home there". He then infected a butterfly and sent it out.

"Fly away, my little Akuma", said Hawkmoth. "And Evilise her".

The Akuma eventually made it to the resort and it entered Julika's guitar. The outline of a Butterfly appeared on her face.

"Loudmouth, I am Hawkmoth. You feel as though your voice is never heard, because you're too scared to raise it. But now, I'm giving you the power to make yourself heard. But in exchange for the powers I give you, you must bring me Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous".

"Rock and Roll" said Julika. She was then covered in bubbly, black mist.

Meanwhile, Luka had just caught up to William and Adrian.

"Oh, hi Luka" said William.

"I know you're, not portrayed as the nicest person", said Luka. "But, why do you-".

"You just heard your sister insult the woman you have a crush on and you're not mad at her?", asked William. "What's wrong with you?".

"First time I'm hearing this" said Luka.

"Maybe because if you found out that your sister gave Marinette a sailor's burn", said William. "You'd disown her faster then a bullet from a gun". Luka was still having trouble processing this.

"I'm sure she-".

"Then ask her yourself", said William. "Because I know Julika's gonna lie to save her ass. Same thing with your band mates". Ivan and Rose then ran up to them.

"Oh look, shit heads 1 and 2 are here" said William. Suddenly, the sound of a electric guitar solo came, VERY LOUDLY.

"Son of a bitch!" Shouted William.

"How's THAT for loud?". William looked and saw an Akuma. This one was obviously a girl. She wore a spiked leather vest over a purple tank top, a purple leather skirt, fishnet stockings and stilettos. She also wore fingerless gloves and spiked forearm covers. Her face was chalk white with heavy metal style paint, red eyes and a purple mohawk. She was carrying a tricked out guitar.

"Julika?" Asked Rose.

"The name's loudmouth!", the Akuma shouted. "And I'm here to make some noise!". She then strummed her guitar again.

"Well, nice to meet you", said William. "See ya". He then ran off. Loudmouth then ran after him.

"I gotta go" said Adrian before running off.

Loudmouth eventually caught up to William.

"You're mine now!" she shouted.

"You, are pathetic" said William.

"You're acting brave for someone who's standing face to face with an Akuma!" Shouted Loudmouth.

"To think it took you getting Akumatized to finally woman up and raise your voice" said William. Loudmouth then strummed on her guitar, sending out sound waves. William just moved to the side and dodged it.

"And you think with a name like 'Loudmouth'", said William. "You think you'd have a sonic scream. Hell, you should've been given a microphone instead of a guitar". Loudmouth grabbed her Guitar by the neck and axe blades came out of it.

"Okay, nnnnnnnnnnnow I can see I'm in danger", said William. "See ya!". He then ran off.

"GET BACK HERE!" Shouted Loudmouth before running after him. William then ran into the buffet lot.

"THERE YOU ARE!" Shouted Loudmouth. She strummed her guitar, sending sound waves out. A yo-yo the wrapped around William and pulled him out of the way. Low and behold, it was Ladybug and Chat Noir.

"Boy, am I glad to see you" said William.

"Might I suggest you get out of here" said Ladybug.

"No need to tell me twice" said William. He then ran off.

"I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!" Shouted Loudmouth before running after him. Ladybug and Chat Noir soon followed after.

"What the hell's your problem?!", shouted William. "All I did was tell you the truth". Loudmouth landed in front of him.

"All you do ruin things for good people!" Shouted Loudmouth.

"No, I make sure people get what they deserve", corrected William. "You gave Marinette a sailor's burn AND accused her of whoring on your older brother". Luka, who was watching from a safe distance, gasped at this.

"And you are just pathetic", continued William. "First a sex doll and now a tricked out rockstar. If you tried talking to people outside of your friend group, you may actually start to be more confident in who you speak to. After all, no o-". Loudmouth strummed her guitar again and sent William into the wall.

"What?", groaned William. "Can't take a little criticism?". She was about to strum again, but a yo-yo wrapped around her hand.

"Concert's over, Loudmouth" said Ladybug. William then pried himself from the wall.

"I think the Akuma's in his guitar", said William. "Just thought you should know". He then ran off.

William then hid in one of the observation decks.

"Ooooooh man", he sighed as he sat down on the floor. "Why do I keep doing that?". Scul then flew out of his pocket.

"You mean, why do you keep chasing after the Akumatized villains?" Asked Scul.

"Yeah, why do I do that?" William wondered.

"I think it's because you like the thrill" answered Scul.

"Maybe, maybe", said William. "But, it's not like I-". Suddenly, the entrance blew up and Ladybug and Chat Noir were flung into the Observation deck, with Ladybug holding a long, Ladybug coloured rope. Loudmouth then walked in.

"Time for the final song!", shouted Loudmouth. "And I can that it's a-". Suddenly, a ladybug coloured rope wrapped around Loudmouth's wrist.

"WHO DARES DISRUPT MY PERFORMANCE!" Shouted Loudmouth. She saw that William had tied the rope to one of the columns.

"Chat Noir", said William. "Use your cataclysm on the floor beneath her".

"How is that-".

"Trust me" said William.

"CATACLYSM!" Shouted Chat Noir. He slammed his hand on the ground underneath Loudmouth's feet. It crumbled and Loudmouth was now hanging in the air. William then grabbed her guitar.

"Look alive, Ladybug!" Shouted William before tossing her the guitar. Thankfully, Ladybug caught it.

"Thanks, William" said Ladybug. She then smashed the guitar on the floor and the Akuma flew out.

"No more evil doing for you, little Akuma", said Ladybug before spinning her yo-yo. "Time to de-evilise". She then swung her yo-yo and it caught the Akuma.

"Gotcha", said Ladybug before opening the Yo-yo and releasing the now purified Akuma. "Bye-bye, little butterfly".

She then threw the rope into the air.

"MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!". Swarms of Ladybugs then fixed the damage and Loudmouth was deakumatized into Julika.

"Pound it" said Ladybug and Chat Noir as they fist bumped.

Hawkmoth's lair.

"Ladybug, you might've silenced my Akuma this time. But I can assure you, one day, Paris will hear the rock n roll of your defeat".

Later.

Adrian was in his room, eating food that room service brought him.

"This is delicious", said Adrian. "I can't believe they have lobster bisk".

"And all the Camembert I can eat" said Plagg.

In William's room.

"Well, that was a complete fiasco", said William as he sat on his bed. "I wish I had something to clear my head". An idea then came to mind. He opened up a box under his bed and pulled out a 'sexy' magazine.

"Didn't you already read that one?" Asked Scul.

"Hey, I like bimbos, sue me" retorted William.

"I'll never understand why you're attracted to women with such proportions" groaned Scul.

"It ain't like I got a real life one" said William. Scul smirked at this.

"Bet you wish Marinette was one", said Scul smugly. "I still think you fantasise abo-". Scul didn't finish as William flicked him into a wall and he landed in a laundry basket.

"Jeez, I was only teasing you" said Scul, his voice muffled by the laundry.

In the theatre.

Kitty Section were packing up, but Luka took out his phone. He then opened it to Marinette's contacts.

'Should I ask her?'.
