Miraculous: Chloe Bourgeois Time Travel Fix-It.
Chapter 10: Calm Skies and Warm Weather.
(Three hundred and four thousand, six hundred and third Quantic Universe Earth, Paris, France, Saturday, September 5th, 2015, third person POV...)
Marinette was so thankful that she got good at dealing with kids her age as a kid herself, for she accepted Nadia Chamack's request to babysit Manon tomorrow.
And it's not just because Marinette in the new timeline got better at dealing with children other than Manon Chamack, Chris Lahiffe, Ella Cesaire, Etta Cesaire, and the younger distant relatives of her current classmates over the years, but it was also because she learned from being raised by her siblings and cousins whenever their parents were busy and whenever Marinette was doing the things that a kid should and/or shouldn't do, and also because Nadia offered to pay Marinette for any time she successfully babysits Manon.
And with Chloe, Alix, and Fluff reaching into the future to retrieve parts for a Miraculous and Kwami Replication Machine, it was all too easy to make clones of not just the original Butterfly Miraculous, the original Peacock Miraculous, and their kwamis, but also clones of the original Ladybug, Black Cat, Fox, Bee, Turtle, Dragon, Snake, Rabbit, Monkey, Horse, Goat, Rooster, Dog, Tiger, Mouse, Pig, Ox, Thunderbird, Eagle, Wolf, Buffalo, Bear, Falcon, Otter, Deer, Beaver, Salmon, Woodpecker, Raven, Owl, Goose, Lion, Chicken, Fish, Bull, Viper Snake, Cougar, Hawk, Phoenix, Halcyon, Caladrius, Nightingale, Ram, Dolphin, Ibex, Centaur, Swan, Squirrel, Crayfish, Zebra, Rhino, Chameleon, Crow, Scorpion, Mantis, Salamander, Bat, Octopus, Penguin, Spider, Robin, Beetle, Cheetah, Dolphin, Snail, Hamster, Pikachu, Robot, Unicorn, Hornet, Frog, Cloud, Panther, Quokka, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Cockroach, Dung Beetle, Flower, Star-Nosed Mole, Donkey, Panda, Platypus, Firefly, Raccoon, Feathered Serpent, Griffin, Grim, Kelpie, Pterosaur, Qilin, Yeti, Aurochs, Lynx, Dragonfly, Red Panda, Tuatara, Ant, Axolotl, Bison, Blackbuck, Caiman, Camel, Coyote, Elephant, Elk, Giraffe, Gecko, Jellyfish, Kangaroo, Komodo Dragon, Moth, Mouflon, Rattlesnake, Shark, Seal, Sheep, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Wolverine, Xerus, Vulture, Aardvark, Albatross, Alligator, Alpaca, Anteater, Antelope, Ape, Armadillo, Baboon, Badger, Barracuda, Binturong, Bobcat, Budgerigar, Capybara, Chamois, Chimpanzee, Chinchilla, Chough, Coati, Cobra Snake, Cod, Cormorant, Cow, Crab, Crane, Cricket, Crocodile, Curlew, Dogfish, Dove, Duck, Dugong, Dunlin, Echidna, Eel, Elephant Seal, Emu, Ferret, Finch, Flamingo, Fly, Gazelle, Gerbil, Giant Panda, Gnat, Gnu, Goldfinch, Goosander, Gorilla, Goshawk, Grasshopper, Grouse, Guanaco, Guineafowl, Guinea Pig, Gull, Hare, Hedgehog, Hermit Crab, Heron, Herring, Hippopotamus, Hummingbird, Hyena, Ibex, Ibis, Iguana, Impala, Jaguar, Jay, Junglefowl, Kingbird, Kinkajou, Kite, Koala Bear, Lapwing, Lark, Lemur, Lizard, Llama, Lobster, Locust, Loris, Louse, Lyrebird, Mallard, Mammoth, Manatee, Mandrill, Manta Ray, Meerkat, Mink, Mole, Mongoose, Moose, Mosquito, Narwhal, Newt, Nightingale, Okapi, Opossum, Ostrich, Oyster, Parrot, Partridge, Pelican, Pheasant, Pigeon, Polar Bear, Porcupine, Porpoise, Prairie Dog, Quail, Rail, Rat, Red Deer, Rook, Sand Dollar, Sandpiper, Sardine, Sea Lion, Seahorse, Sea Otter, Shrew, Skink, Skipper, Skunk, Sloth, Spoonbill, Squid, Starfish, Starling, Stilt, Stingray, Tapir, Tarsier, Termite, Thrush, Toad, Toucan, Turkey, Wallaby, Walrus, Wasp, Weasel, Whale, Wildebeest, and Wombat Miraculouses.
However, because of the need to tell them apart from the originals, they were turned into differently colored predator, prey, descendant, and ancestor versions of the animals they embody in one species' breed at a time for each one of them. Along with using the Animal Species Name Generator and the Species Name Generator websites on Fantasy Name Generators Dot Com, they also came up with new species for the animals and insects of the replica Miraculouses in different colors, shapes, sizes, and jewelry types.
Because of this, there was now seven hundred and thirty-four billion, four hundred and twenty-one million, sixteen thousand, eight hundred and ninety-six new Miraculouses, not just in the forms of ancestral, descendant, predator, and prey versions of the original animal species and breeds, but also in the forms of different jewels and in Iron Man style jewelry types.
In the present, as she looks out over the Miraculouses being kept by Guardians from the other Guardian Temples across the world, Ladybug remarks, "Well, at least we'll have a bigger superhero army to fight Scarlet Moth and all other threats on equal grounds in the future. As well as to succeed us in the future."
King Hornbill replies, "Indeed, Ladybug. But hey, since it's starting to become nighttime in Paris, would you and Cat Noir like to see a movie?"
And so, the two hundred and seventy-four Oracle Knights members watched the 2023 Miraculous Ladybug movie, and after the credits started, King Hornbill along with his allies, along with Aviator, and the thousands of kwamis adjusted to the modern era and adjusted to the Quadwal cluster where the Miraculouses, the kwamis, the Akumatized/Kamikotized champions, the Sentimonsters, the Guardians, and the Miraculous holders are fictional explained the differences between the Miraculous Ladybug movie and the final product cartoon, in addition to similarities even though there were so few similarities, and in addition to pointing out the problems with the show and the movie.
And then, they went on to watch an episode of Tangled: The Series, but Ladybug was caught off guard by how eager Cat Noir was to sing the lyrics to the song Ready As I'll Ever Be.
Cat Noir sings the last verse, "#Ready as I'll ever be!#"
This earned him a light elbow from Aviator.
Aviator says, "If you keep it down, I guarantee we'll sing this when we kick Hawk Moth's ass on Heroes' Day."
Cat Noir replies in a whisper, "(Softly) Deal."
Ladybug then says, "We've been at this for over two days in this new timeline and we have to keep things chronological until Volpina, The Collector, and Heroes' Day."
Cat Noir replies, "Too true, but I will admit that this is the greatest timeline to live in. I mean, our team is bigger than ever, we know each other's identities from the very start, we have a potential for a relationship in the future after Heroes' Day if we manage to apprehend Gabriel, Nathalie, and Lila that day, we have a potential for upgrading our powers to be great superheroes in later life if God is willing, we could potentially secure new allies in the old and new versions of the Order of the Guardians, Lady Dragon, the United Heroez, the Super Pirates, the Power Players, the Ghostforce, Pixie Girl, Miss Rose, Gayaijn, the Moonlight Hunters, the Space League, and Lady Lion, Hawk Moth or no Hawk Moth, and best of all, I get to go to school for the first time in this timeline."
Ladybug says, "Hehehe. Only you would be excited about school, Catty, but I know what you mean. I'm glad this timeline came to be."
As soon as the video ended, the heroes stretched thoroughly, and Cat Noir made sure to pack his laptop and small speaker, with Ladybug doing the same.
Ladybug then asks, "Well, kitty, are you set for tomorrow?"
Cat Noir answers, "The photoshoot? On a Sunday? Kinda, but at the same time, not really; it depends on whether or not my supernatural stamina holds out long enough to prevent me from looking tired in any of the shots. And besides, it's not exactly fair to be working on Sundays."
Pipevine then says, "Well, biblical historically speaking, the Sabbath Day is actually on Saturday."
Cat Noir then says in response, "Yeah, but I didn't exactly grow up religious."
Ladybug replies, "Most of us never did, but Nathaniel did; he's in a Jewish family. And in this timeline, thanks to Gimmi and Chloe, I identify myself as Christian."
Cat Noir nods in understanding.
Cat Noir then says with a single snap of his fingers, "Hey. Would it be a nice thing if you were around the park at, like say, noon?"
Ladybug answers, "No promises; I promised Ms. Chamack I'd look after her daughter Manon and Alya might tag along aside from just trying to tell me about you in the park for your photoshoot. But even if I could bring Manon to the park, I don't want you or me to get in trouble with your dad."
Cat Noir replies, "Parks are public, owned by the city. And besides, it'd be great to see you and Alya outside of seeing you both at school and outside of seeing you during Akumatized villain fights, patrols, or generally just hanging out watching movies, watching cartoons, doing homework, reading comic books, reading fanfictions, reading novels, or generally exercising."
Aviator then says, "You know, even outside of heroics, people can make a difference, especially in regards to friendships."
Pipevine remarks, "You said it, Avi. Now, kids, let's all head home and head to bed."
Everyone obliged.
By the end, as everyone went home to sleep, Marinette reminded herself that tomorrow would not only be her first time in either timeline babysitting Manon, but also the first time Aurore gets Akumatized into Stormy Weather.
Marinette reminded her parents about that, and they also reminded her that with and without Hawk Moth behind bars, Alec's redemption can and must happen, either by the aftermath of his first Akumatization into Wishmaker or by him spending time in prison for his actions.
Marinette agreed, knowing that even if some people will refuse to change, it's through perseverance in the ways that heroes like Spider-Man succeeding in convincing villains like Edward Brock, Junior as Venom to change for the better, even if it doesn't happen all the time.
The next day, a limousine arrives at the KIDZ+ studio and Alec Cataldi says, "Welcome to the finals of our KIDZ+ competition, where today, one lucky winner will be announced as our brand new KIDZ+ weather girl!"
As Aurore Beauréal and Mireille Caquet exit the limousine, crowds chant their names.
Aurore says as she and Mireille walk down the red carpet, "Hi!"
Mireille and Aurore wave at their fans and Aurore blows kisses at them.
Inside the main studio, Alec says, "We started off with five thousand contestants, but with the help of our audience at home, we whittled our talent down to just these two amazing young ladies! So, let's welcome our fantastic finalists! To my right is Aurore Beauréal, and and to my left is Mireille Caquet! But the question on everybody's lips is, who will be the lucky winner of our competition? Well, there's only one way to find out! Vote now! Text 1 for Aurore and text 2 for Mireille. And remember, standard text messaging rates apply."
Alec does a celebrity wink and pointing finger gun up gesture at the camera.
In the Dupain-Cheng house, Marinette is chasing Manon.
Marinette says, "Manon, I'm not kidding; give that back, please."
Manon replies as she jumps onto the sofa with an unfinished hat on her head, "But I wanna be a fashion designer too!"
Marinette jumps onto the sofa, but Manon jumps out of the way, making Marinette land headfirst on the sofa before bringing herself back down to the floor.
Marinette says, "Manon, I haven't finished that hat yet, and you might ruin it! So, please, give it back, or else."
Manon gulps as she asks, "Or else what?"
Marinette replies, "Or else I'll have to make sure not to let you play with anything the next time I babysit you."
Manon shivers as she hands the hat back to Marinette, and Marinette says, "Thank you. Now, please don't touch any of my property or anything I'm working on unless you want to explain to my parents and to your mother the reason why I'm furious about any of my stuff being broken or my fashion commissions being destroyed to the point where I have to cancel anything to repair them."
Manon replies a little sullenly, "Okay, Marinette."
Marinette then says as she kneels down to Manon's level, "Now, Manon, I get that you want to have fun whenever you come over, but there are rules to follow so you don't destroy anything expensive by accident, so that you don't get hurt, and among other things, so that you won't suffer any consequences for any form of mischief or bad behavior. And if there's one thing that I refuse to tolerate, it's children like you behaving badly. Any form of disobedience outside of babysitting you for your mother will always come with a form of punishment. But know that any form of punishment is the result of discipline, as without discipline, it'd be chaos all over the world day and night for up to a whole year."
Manon smiles a bit, Marinette's powers making the little girl feel better.
Manon then sits down to watch TV while Marinette gets back to work, while taking a pause to vote for Aurore.
Nooroo Clone 2/Noorbe then whispers to Marinette, "(Softly) Nice going, Marinette; you averted a catastrophe before it could even start."
Tikki then whispers in an adding manner, "(Softly) Yes, and if you can handle Manon for a day, any villain from here on out will be a piece of cake."
Marinette whispers in reply, "(Softly) Yeah, you both got that right."
The doorbell rings and the two kwamis hide.
Marinette answers the door and asks, "Let me guess: Adrien's in the park for a photoshoot?"
Alya asks back, "How'd you know?"
Marinette answers, "He told me last night before we went to sleep. Apparently, one of the common locations for his photoshoots is the Place des Vosges. And you know what? I actually feel bad for Adrien. I mean, he hasn't even turned fourteen as of today still, and he has all of these jobs for his father's fashion brand to do any time Mr. Agreste schedules a day for it. Besides, is he even getting paid for it? Does he even have a daily salary? He's working for his own father in a job that pays big wages depending on where in the world you are, and the Parisian Penal Code, Book Two, Title Two, Chapter Five, Article Two Hundred Twenty-Five Dash Fourteen Dash One specifically says, and I quote, '"Forced work is the act, by violence or threat, to force someone to work without a reward or an appropriate salary compared to the importance of the work done, and is punishable by seven years of prison time and a fine of two hundred thousand euros."' Basically, if that was the case, Gabriel would end up in serious legal trouble for breaking several child labor laws no matter what kind of excuses or attempts at perjury he would attempt to use to justify the way he treats Adrien as an employee. If he hasn't already gotten in enough hot water with his sister-in-law Amelie Graham de Vanily or his own parents."
Alya replies, "Hmm... you raise another interesting legal point."
Marinette then asks, "But anyway, what were you getting at, Alya?"
Alya answers, "Let's go to the park and see the love of your life in action. Maybe he'll notice you."
Marinette then says, "I'm saying this only once: it's a small crush, and it'll fade away when we reach university."
Alya scoffs, "Sure, a small crush. Why don't you use this opportunity to go talk to him?"
Marinette replies, "I always talk to him at school or on the phone in his free time. Besides, even if I wanted to go, no can do; I'm babysitting at this time. And don't get me wrong; I know how to handle kids the majority of the time, but the only other reason I asked for you is because I could use some additional help."
Alya replies, "Ah, okay, that makes sense. I'll do my part to help you, Marinette."
Manon pops up from between Marinette's legs and asks, "Uh, who's she?"
Marinette then says while pointing to Manon before saying to Manon, "I'm babysitting Nadia Chamack's daughter, Manon. I'm watching her all afternoon, and I absolutely refuse to abandon her. Manon, this is Alya Cesaire, one of the new students at my school starting this year."
Alya leans towards Marinette with a know-it-all expression and asks, "Let me guess: a '"you couldn't say no"' favor?"
Marinette replies, "Don't get me wrong; I do know how to say no, but the thing is, for every time I babysit Manon and other children, I get paid and I get the opportunity to buy whatever I need for fashion commissions and/or for any of my engineering projects."
Alya gasps as she replies, "I didn't know you were into engineering!"
Marinette replies back, "Well, only a select few of our classmates knows this. If in the event fashion designing doesn't work out for me for any reason at all, I got engineering as a failsafe. And anyway, Nadia did say she would pay me for babysitting Manon, and I learned from my older siblings and older cousins how to handle a child, so it's not that bad. For a while."
Alya looks to be shocked, and she asks with a teasing pout, "Really? Does that mean that I would have to pay you for your help if I ever want a break from my sisters at any time?"
Marinette replies with a teasing tone, "Yes, of course. I can't just give my services for free at all."
Alya says in a faux hurt tone, "What?! You're not even going to give me a discount for your services?"
Marinette replies with a moving hand gesture, "Hmm... maybe a small discount."
The two girls laugh at their banter.
Manon then runs off towards the kitchen, grabbing a pan and making banging noises.
Marinette exclaims before saying sternly, "Manon! Put that down this instant! The neighbors might complain about the noises, and you know as well as I do that when neighbors of someone's apartment complains about noises, it's usually bad news. And besides that, if you accidentally whacked yourself in the head with either the pot or the spoon, you'd end up giving yourself a painful headache, and you'd be in serious trouble with your mommy."
Manon looks sheepish as she puts the pan back where she found it, along with the spoon she was using to make the banging noises.
Alya then says, "Look, Marinette, I can still help you with Manon and we can still go to the park. It's also gonna be good for Manon, before she wrecks the place. I've got my own twin younger sisters at home that makes me an expert in dealing with kids."
Marinette then pulls Manon in front of Alya.
Manon then asks, "Who are you anyway?"
Alya answers, not that Marinette was surprised anymore since she lived through it once already, "I'm a mythological unicorn from the world of Reespa, disguised as a totally fabulous and totally attractive human girl! I grant magical wishes, but only to little monkeys who behave nicely!"
Manon laughs in response as she says before asking, "Hahahahaha! No, you're not!... Are you?"
Alya grabs the girl and holds her up in the air, playfully making her "fly" around until she puts the girl on Marinette's shoulders, eliciting a small "Oof" from Marinette.
Alya then says, "All right, let's all go to the park!"
Manon shouts, "Yay!"
Marinette then sighs through her nose before saying, "All right, let's get going. But Manon, you better behave yourself, because if you don't, I'll tickle you until you pee yourself as a punishment."
Manon shivers at that before nodding.
As they head down into the bakery, Alya asks, "Girl, did you seriously learn from experience because of your siblings and cousins how to handle children?"
Marinette answers, "Yes. I went through the same things Manon and other children like her go through at the ripe age of five years old."
Marinette mentally adds to herself, "And I learned this from experience in the past, even though I used to be a doormat, and my inability to withstand puppy dog eyes didn't help make me eligible for raising children of my own. So, in a way, I'm sorta thankful that I woke up in the past, so I could learn from my mistakes. But I do believe that Gimmi gave me my siblings and cousins to further help me."
Meanwhile, at the KIDZ+ Studio, Alec says, "This is the moment we've been waiting for, viewers! The viewers at home have made their choice, and the new KIDZ+ weather girl is..."
The votes are shown onscreen, and Mireille has significantly more votes than Aurore.
Alec finishes, "...Mireille!"
Aurore gasps in shock.
The crowds cheer and applaud.
Alec says to Aurore as she scowls, "Man, she crushed you, eh? Better luck next time!"
Aurore growls as she whips around, slaps Alec hard across the face, punches him in the mouth, and kicks him hard in the nuts, making everyone watching and filming gasp in shock and horror.
Aurore snarls, "F(bleep!) you, (bleep!)"
Aurore storms away.
Alec's boss says over the loudspeakers, "Alec, this is strike two. If you get to strike three, you're fired."
Alec groans in pain as a reply.
In Hawk Moth's lair, the window opens as Hawk Moth remarks, "The vibrations are so powerful. I can feel the instantaneous anger and sadness. The moment of weakness for my next victim... Such simple pray for my Akumas."
Hawk Moth charges a butterfly with energy, turning it into an Akuma.
Hawk Moth sends it out without saying anything for one of the first and only times he does so.
In the building, Aurore enters the elevator.
Aurore snarls, "I should've won. I have the talent for it, the star looks, everything! But she took everything away from me. They took everything away from me! Even Alec took everything I worked hard for away from me! They – "
But her rant is cut short when the power suddenly does down, stopping the elevator in its tracks.
Aurore exclaims, "Ah!" as the elevator jerks to a stop.
Aurore shrieks, "Ah!" again as she sees the Akuma squeezing its way through the crack lines between the closed elevator doors, displaying a semblance of nigh-invulnerability.
Aurore swings her parasol at it while shrieking, "Ngh! Ah!"
She opens her parasol, and that proves to be a fatal mistake as the Akuma infects it.
She stands up as the power in the elevator turns back on.
As the butterfly symbol appears, Hawk Moth remarks telepathically, "(From his lair) So correct you are. You should have won, right?"
Aurore replies darkly, "Yes, I should've won!"
Hawk Moth remarks before saying, "Stormy Weather, I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you the power to seek revenge on those thieves as my weather girl. All you have to do is bring me the Miraculouses. Can you do that?"
Aurore/Stormy Weather replies, "Yes!"
Aurore is turned into Stormy Weather.
The elevator doors open as Stormy Weather walks forward, and Hawk Moth says telepathically, "(From his lair) That's my weather girl. Show the world who the best weather girl really is!"
Meanwhile, in an observatory that combines the appearance of Hawk Moth's lair, Hawk Moth's repository, and the main chamber of the Order of the Guardians' Tibetan temple, Ladybug's latest twelve recruits by the names of Jesse Graset, Jurgen Cheang, Jack Grezette, Bernd Chang, Henry Grassetet, Harminder Tay, Pablo Grezetet, Tejinder Tee, Jonah Dupin, Kendall Teh, Elias Duan, and Lisanne Zheng took out their respective Henslow's Sparrow, Montserrat Oriole, Arizona Woodpecker, Mexican Jay, Bahama Mockingbird, Crimson-Backed Tanager, Arctic Skipper Butterfly, Acadian Hairstreak Butterfly, American Lady Butterfly, American Snout Butterfly, Aphrodite Fritillary Butterfly, and Appalachian Brown Butterfly Miraculouses in the forms of twin pendants for the first, a riddle tiara for the second, a scale amulet for the third, a bubble amulet for the fourth, a cross anklet for the fifth, a crest pendant for the sixth, a hum ring for the seventh, a gift ring for the eighth, a globe brooch for the ninth, a heart tiara for the tenth, a flame pendant for the eleventh, and an oath amulet for the final one.
The dozen new Miraculous users then say in unison, "Akiioo, Wings of Independence!" "Yukiioo, Wings of Autonomy!" "Shouuta, Wings of Sovereignty!" "Yaasuhiro, Wings of Rights!" "Kennzo, Wings of Birthright!" "Kiichirou, Shining Wings Rise!" "Maasayuki, Glowing Wings Rise!" "Taakeshi, Gleaming Wings Rise!" "Yoshiinori, Radiant Wings Rise!" "Toshiiaki, Blazing Wings Rise!" and "Shiiori, Glaring Wings Rise!"
They all transformed into Flat Sparrow, Cross Oriole, Laughing Pecker, Black Jay, Red Mocker, Bullback, Titania, Falena, Ombre, Kondraki, Lightwing, and Farfella.
Flat Sparrow then uses her empathy power and senses the positive emotion of happiness Nanor Babyak, a Lycée Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague student who got promoted to France 24 news forecaster.
Flat Sparrow energizes a feather and turns it into a Guard feather, the closest bird feather equivalent of a Kamiko butterfly.
Flat Sparrow says, "Fly on, my little Guard, and empower her into a hero!"
The feather makes its way to the France 24 News studio and merges with Nanor's umbrella, ID card, lightning bolt ring, and low heels.
Flat Sparrow says, "Hello, ma'am. I am Flat Sparrow. And no, I am not the Sparrow from New York; I'm a different kind of Sparrow, as a Miraculous user."
Nanor says before asking, "Okay, I get it. What do you want, Flat Sparrow?"
Flat Sparrow answers, "My team needs your help to deal with Hawk Moth's newest victim, Aurore Beauréal aka Stormy Weather. And you will be aided by Arthelia Beauvais, also known as Calm Skies. You two are the antitheses of Stormy Weather in the sense that you can both control weather and natural elements like earth, fire, water, wind, and metal. So, Warm Weather, can you and Calm Skies please make sure to neutralize Stormy Weather's weather attacks and subdue her long enough for my teammates to deakumatize her?"
Nanor/Warm Weather replies, "I accept the task at hand."
Nanor turns into Warm Weather, an armored version of Stormy Weather with both opposite colors and the actual colors of Stormy Weather's outfit.
Meanwhile, in the Place des Vosges, Adrien is having a photoshoot.
Adrien poses for 4 pictures as Alya, Marinette, and Manon come into the park.
As anyone can see, Marinette was holding two bags, full of pastries and other snacks.
Marinette then says, "Okay, let's find a place to sit and wait for them to finish before giving them some pastries, and if Adrien sees us, we wave at him and then continue on like normal."
Alya asks, "Then what?"
Marinette answers, "Then, we occupy ourselves either by listening to music with one headphone in one ear and keeping the other ear uncovered so as to better pay attention to anything happening, or by myself occupying Manon by allowing her to do what she wants as long as she's supervised."
Alya remarks, "I would've thought that you would want to invite Adrien to drink some fruit smoothies and then start planning your future."
Marinette replies, "As much as I want to plan for the future, even I'm smart enough to know that not everything will go according to plan. After all, failure is part of the natural chaos of our universe and it allows us to better succeed at what we do in everyday life."
Alya replies back, "Who knew you would be so smart for our age group?"
Marinette chuckles a bit.
Alya then inquires somewhat teasingly, "Have you thought about having three kids and a hamster and a dog after getting married in the future?"
Marinette replies, "Perhaps in some kind of dream that I may have had. But the thing is, I can't have a hamster or a dog right now while my parents run a bakery. There's too many risks, including the fact that our bakery uses chocolate in some sweets, and dogs and cats alike can't eat chocolate; it's highly poisonous to them both. At the same time, if I wanted a cat, I'd also have to make sure not to live in a bakery, not just because of cross-contamination, but also cats being unable to eat chocolate. And also, cats can't eat sugar because they don't have the same amount of taste buds as a human to be able to taste sugar, in addition to the fact that cats are inherently carnivorous mammals. And at the same time, having three kids means giving birth in pain three times. I don't think anyone could be able to withstand that amount of pain, even if it was three years in a row for each child over the course of nine or twelve years."
Alya cringes in sympathy, feeling ashamed for attempting to tease Marinette about her future children.
Marinette, Alya, and Manon walk towards the bench, and Adrien sees them before waving with a smile.
Marinette, Alya, and Manon wave back before heading fully to the bench.
Marinette hands a croissant to Manon, and she says happily, "Thank you!" before proceeding to eat it.
Marinette then offers a croissant to Alya, but she says to decline, "No thanks, bestie; I just ate."
Marinette shrugs before eating the croissant herself.
Alya then notices the second bag and inquires, "Why'd you bring another bag, Mari? (Gasps) Wait, the bag, it's for Adrien, isn't it?"
Marinette rolls her eyes as she explains, "Yes, Alya, it's for Adrien, but what I'm about to say is that it's also for his bodyguard and his father's photographer. They might get hungry and they might not have enough money to afford a meal somewhere, and besides that, I think that they could all afford to take a break while munching on some snacks to keep them satisfied for the time being until it's time for their lunch breaks and without having to worry about additional calories, since I packed plenty of healthy, low-calorie snacks for them."
Alya remarks, "Wow, you're going all out in making sure anyone you're friends with or you generally interact with is eating healthy food, huh?"
Marinette answers, "And I'm not sorry, because healthy food choices are important, just like exercise, eight hours of sleep, drinking water, doing yoga, managing stress, drinking warm water with lemon juice, taking care of your skin, and stretching among other things are important. And besides, as the people in our school happen to know, in some ways, I'm sort of an extremist when it comes to eating healthy food."
Alya and Manon widened their eyes in shock, never anticipating that Marinette loved healthy food that much.
The photographer Vincent remarks, "Magnifico! Super! Come on now, I want to see hunger in your eyes..."
Marinette mentally grumbles, "This is one of the most bizarre and one of the worst fashion photographers in the world at the same time if I ever saw one."
Marinus mentally remarks, "The feeling's mutual, Marinette."
Meanwhile, in the KIDZ+ building, Mireille is waiting for an elevator, holding her trophy.
The elevator opens, and Mireille enters.
Once at a lower level, Mireille is about to exit the elevator when she sees Stormy Weather standing there, much to Mireille's shock and horror.
Stormy Weather cackles as she says, "Hahahahahaha! I am Stormy Weather, the only weather girl who always gets the forecast right the first time around! And unfortunately for you, there's a freak icy front moving in right now!"
Stormy Weather aims her parasol and fires a blast of ice.
Mireille shrieks as she pounds on the ice, "(Muffled) Somebody get me out of here! Help! Help!"
Meanwhile, at the Place des Vosges, Vincent says as he takes pictures of Adrien from different angles, "Bravo! That's it! Now, give me the smile you show when your mom brings in ze spaghetti! Okay! And now, oh, no! Mama dropped the spaghetti! Oh yes, you're outraged! Show me outraged! Yes, yes, yes!"
As Marinette, Alya, and Manon sit down on a bench close to where Adrien's photoshoot is happening but far enough to avoid disturbing the workers, Marinette and Alya talked with one another while Marinette waited for the right moment to give the men their snacks.
Of course, when Marinette heard Vincent's comment about Adrien's mother, she had said, "That was very uncalled for."
Alya had inquired, "Why? How so?"
Marinette answers, "Adrien's mother is dead, Alya. Any manner of bringing up Adrien's mother similar to the way Vincent did easily makes Mr. Agreste fly into a rage. And if Mr. Agreste had heard that comment, Vincent would be out of a job faster than he could even get the chance to say, '"Oops"' in his native Italian."
Alya nodded in understanding.
Then, Manon spots a series of balloons for sale.
Manon says with her high-pitched voice almost scaring Marinette, "Marinette, I want a balloon with Mireille on it! Can I have one, please?"
Marinette replies immediately, "Shh! Keep your voice down, Manon. That assortment of people over there are doing very important work, and they don't want anyone disturbing them, otherwise their boss will get mad and have us banned from all of their photoshoot locations. And you wouldn't want that to happen, would you?"
Manon pouts as she says, "But I want that balloon with Mireille on it, Marinette."
Marinette replies with a raised finger for added emphasis, "I'll get you that balloon if you use an inside voice while those men are working, okay?"
Manon smiles and nods.
Marinette then says to Alya, "Alya, can you please hold the pastries for me while I get Manon her balloon?"
She hands the bag to Alya.
Alya replies before asking in a perplexed manner, "Okay, but which bag is ours? And I can grab a bite, right?"
Marinette gestures to the bag on her right as she answers Alya's questions, "It's this one right here, and yes, you can grab a pastry."
Marinette then says to Manon, "Okay, let's get you that balloon, but remember, balloons cost money, and this balloon you want is being bought with my money from my own pocket. So, whatever you do, don't let go of it outside, and don't let anyone pop it. Because if you do, I'm not buying you another one. Understood?"
Manon nods.
Marinette and Manon go to buy the balloon.
Meanwhile, outside the KIDZ+ building, Stormy Weather exits the building as the gathered crowd chants Mireille's name.
Stormy Weather briefly cackles as she spreads her arms wide.
Everyone looks at Stormy Weather in bemusement and confusion.
But then, one civilian unwisely asks, "Where's Mireille?"
Stormy Weather growls as she replies, "Ugh... For all of you who voted for Mireille, I'd heavily advise you all to move indoors, because it's gonna get very blustery!... Oh wait, too late!"
Stormy Weather swings her open parasol, unleashing strong gusts of cold wind that blows several civilians away, potentially wounding them and potentially killing the children in the crowds on impact with the ground or buildings.
Then, Stormy Weather takes flight.
Meanwhile, at the Place des Vosges, Marinette hands the balloon stand owner some money to pay for Manon's balloon, then she asks Manon, "All right, Manon, are you happy with the balloon, and with the way it looks?"
Manon answers, "Yes."
Manon then spots the merry-go-round and says, "I wanna go on the merry-go-round!"
She starts to run off, but Marinette quickly grabs Manon's hand and says, "You can go on the merry-go-round, but please don't go anywhere without me, alright? You might get hurt or kidnapped, and we'd both be in serious trouble."
Manon pouts and Marinette says, "I didn't say anything about not going on the merry-go-round; I said to be careful. If you get kidnapped, you could end up abused or potentially killed, and your mommy will be devastated."
Manon nods in understanding.
The twosome walks over to the merry-go-round and Marinette carefully carries Manon to a unicorn of her choosing.
Meanwhile, Stormy Weather flies above the park, and Stormy Weather ends up seeing banners of Mireille and even a balloon of the girl that a small boy accidentally let go of.
Stormy Weather growls again, "Ughhh!"
The boy in question cries, secretly annoying even Marinette.
The balloon salesman states while handing another Mireille balloon, "Here's another one!"
Stormy Weather flies fast and electrocutes the boy, his mother, and the salesman, instantly killing them.
Meanwhile, Vincent is still photographing Adrien, and he appears to be going strong.
But then, Adrien yawns unexpectedly.
Vincent remarks, "No, no, no! Ze boy has eaten too much spaghetti! Ugh, we need more energy... more romance! We needz... a girl!"
He looks around and sees Alya sitting under a tree, eating a red apple.
Vincent runs to Alya.
Vincent says, "You! I need an extra!"
Alya asks, "Who, me?"
Vincent replies, "Si! To pose with Mr. Adrien!"
Alya replies while talking like she has a swollen tongue, "Uh, hah, you don't want me! I, I thint I'm havink an allergik reaktion to thit apple! I know juth the perthon you need! Holt that thought!"
Alya runs to the merry-go-round and says, "They need an extra to pose with Adrien!"
Marinette has a sharp look on her face that makes Alya look nervous even as Marinette asks, "So? Why didn't you go and pose with him instead of allowing Maristela to do it? (Her eyes widen in realization) Uh-uh, if you're going to say that I should pose with Adrien, then I'm saying for the first and only time that the answer is no."
Alya replies as she pushes the bag of pastries to Marinette, "I had a feeling that's what you were gonna say, and that's why I brought this. This is your golden opportunity to give the pastries to the crew. At least do that if you don't want to pose with him, Marinette."
Marinette says sharply, "Alya, I'm seriously rethinking our friendship."
Alya exclaims aghast, "You can't be serious!"
Marinette replies, "As a fatal heart attack! If you think for even one fraction of a second that you're in charge of any aspect of my love life, then you got another thing coming, and that thing is an instant phone call to your precious parents and your older sister, Nora."
Alya exclaims, "You wouldn't dare!"
Marinette asks in a growling tone, "Would you be willing to test that theory?"
Manon looks scared.
Suddenly, Marinette's Enhanced Ladybug Sense goes off and she runs off and Stormy Weather points her parasol at the merry-go-round and a hurricane of ice envelops it, covering it in an ice dome and trapping Alya and Manon inside of it.
And the balloon Manon was holding onto froze up and shattered like paper glass.
And the icy winds resultant from the ice hurricane caused people to be blown away and either land somewhere else or smack into a car, knocking them unconscious, or knocking them into a building, potentially killing them.
Marinette runs into a nearby alleyway and Marinette declares, "Time to transform! Tikki, spots on! Yeah!"
Marinette transforms into Ladybug.
Ladybug flies to the park.
In the park, Stormy Weather fires lightning bolts at Mireille balloons and civilians cry out, "Yaaah!" "Oh no! Ahh!"
Stormy Weather lands and fires more lightning bolts at civilians.
Vincent and Placide are distracted, and this allows Adrien to slip away to the tree with his bag.
Adrien opens his bag and sees Plagg waking up.
Plagg asks, "Let me guess: Stormy Weather?"
Adrien answers before saying, "Yep. Plagg, Claws Out!"
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir.
In Pipevine's observatory, Sabine then asks, "Are you ready, Nooroo Clone 1?"
Nooroo Clone 1 answers before saying, "Yes, and please, call me Noorio. You know what the transformation phrase is."
Sabine replies, "Yep. Noorio, Light Wings Rise!"
In a similar manner to her daughter, in a similar manner to Hawk Moth, in a similar manner to Queen Bee, in a similar manner to Vesperia, and in a similar manner to Monarch without the Alliance Rings or the Chinese Zodiac Miraculouses combined, Sabine transforms into Pipevine with the Replica Butterfly Miraculous, with her winged armor now in the same shades of purple as Betterfly's suit.
As the observatory window opens, Pipevine remarks, "What we need is a calm sky against Stormy Weather."
Pipevine focuses on the feelings of positive emotions, and instead she finds the feeling of fear coming from Arthelia Beauvais, a student from Francois Couperin who is just like Aurore, minus the pride and arrogance.
Pipevine then says, "Well, we definitely need calm skies."
Pipevine holds out her right hand and makes a Kamiko in the exact same manner as Hawk Moth making his Akumas, but with Pipevine's new Kamiko which is coincidentally her first time using a "Kamiko" rather than a "Tenshi" being in an eggplant purple, lilac, and violet with golden-white plumes coming from the streaks on the energized butterfly's wings.
Pipevine then says as she sends the Kamiko on its way to find Arthelia, "Fly on, my little Kamiko, and empower the young heart of Arthelia Beauvais. Empower her and turn her fear into something miraculous."
The Kamiko flies off to the Akuma Bunker in the girl's home, and it splits its essence as it makes contact with both her parasol and her beach umbrella, as she had just gotten back from a family vacation at the Deauville Beach.
Pipevine then says, "Arthelia, I am Pipevine. I wish to help you quell your fears. I want you to power through your fears, and I want you to help Ladybug, Cat Noir, and the rest of us in defeating Hawk Moth's latest victim, Aurore Beauréal, also known as Stormy Weather. Can you help us?"
Arthelia replies, "Yes, Pipevine."
Pipevine replies, "Good. Now, you shall be known as Calm Skies, and you shall receive a weather and element proof suit of armor making you look like Stormy Weather but with an opposite hairstyle, and with the suit of armor not only being in opposite colors, but also concealing your face with more than just face paint."
Arthelia then transforms into Calm Skies, exactly as Pipevine described.
Calm Skies then goes out onto her balcony and takes off in flight.
In the park, Ladybug lands in front of the iced merry-go-round, and the rest of the team shows up, fifteen at a time.
Ladybug then asks, "Scalefist, do you think that your fire breath can melt the ice dome?"
Scalefist answers, "In theory, yes, but there's an 85% possibility that the ice will reform and become more resistant against fire."
Ladybug then says as she makes her yoyo turn into a flaming sword, "Then let's see what I can do this time around."
Ladybug hops onto the top of the dome and slices a big circle off of it before reforming her yoyo and using it to pull Alya and Manon out.
Ladybug then asks, "Are you girls okay?"
Alya replies, "Totally, Ladybug!"
Ladybug then kneels in front of Manon and inquires, "What's your name, sweetie?"
Manon answers, "Uh, Manon! Manon Chamack!"
Ladybug then says, "Well, Manon, I wanted you to know, your babysitter Marinette is hiding in her parents' Akuma bunker until the storm is clear – uh, no pun intended."
Alya cringes, knowing that Ladybug doesn't always intend to make a pun based on Akuma situations.
Manon then asks, "How do you know Marinette's name?"
Ladybug answers flawlessly, "I'm a secret regular at her parents' bakery starting today whenever I need a pick me up – or in other words, a quick snack."
Manon nods in understanding.
The heroes then fly off.
Stormy Weather exits the park and blasts two more lightning bolts at two more Mireille balloons.
Cat Noir then asks from above, "Hey, Ice Queen, what's with all the terrorizing? Why don't you pick on someone your own temperature?"
Stormy Weather snarls, "My name is not Ice Queen! It's Stormy Weather!"
Ladybug then appears, her wings glowing buzzing even as she chitter-growls ferociously, her claws on her fingers extending.
Stormy Weather then asks, "Do you seriously think I'm scared of you, Ladybug?"
Ladybug's reply was a swift scratch to Stormy Weather's left cheek, making her scream in pain as she holds her cheek in pain.
Stormy Weather looks at her left gloved hand, and she sees a small pool of blood.
Stormy Weather asks in an aghast manner, "You – you made me bleed?!"
Ladybug grunts in response.
Calm Skies then says, "Witness the true power of the weather!"
Calm Skies aims her umbrellas and she fires twin lightning bolts in unison, electrocuting Stormy Weather.
Stormy Weather blubbers like she was on an intensely vibrating massage chair.
But then, Stormy Weather powers through to growl at the heroes.
Then Warm Weather surrounds Stormy Weather in a water bubble, and though she struggles to escape, she started to run out of air.
Warm Weather then disintegrates the water bubble safely, allowing Stormy Weather to breathe.
Stormy Weather growls angrier than before.
Cat Noir then says, "Listen, we're feline more generous than usual today, so cool off and we'll call it quits, capisce?"
Stormy Weather's response was to launch a big gust of wind that blows the heroes away.
Cat Noir shrieks as he flies towards a street with two cars aligned with one another on opposite ends of the street and he smacks into the cars like a pinball in a pinball machine, and the sound of a pinball machine's ball hitting some bells in rapid succession is heard.
King Hornbill remarks, "Ha! I knew that this was gonna still happen even in an outside perspective!"
Ladybug appears and helps Cat Noir get up even as she says, "I was so not expecting that to happen."
Cat Noir replies, "Yeah, I don't think anyone in our roster was expecting Stormy Weather to power through being electrocuted or to get madder than previously."
Cat Noir then kisses Ladybug's hand, and Ladybug says, "Cat, I know you're a gentleman even in this new timeline, but there's a time and place where gestures like that are appropriate."
Cat Noir replies back, "Got it."
Ladybug then remarks, "And seriously, I still thought you would use your Cat Falling superpower to land on your feet like an actual cat."
Cat Noir replies as he dusts off his armor, "I had my part under management, but she just couldn't appreciate my sense of humor in either timeline even if she tried."
Ladybug replies, "It's too bad that she mist the opportunity to appreciate humerus jokes."
Cat Noir smirks as he remarks, "See, you do understand me."
Ladybug replies, "It's your timing that needs work. No joking or flirting during supervillain fights; that causes distractions and lost opportunities for easy victories."
Cat Noir nods in understanding.
The heroes converge and then, Stormy Weather appears to say, "We should be expecting lightning storms like right NOW!"
Stormy Weather fires a lightning bolt from her parasol at the sky, and this darkens the sky with storm clouds.
A single purple lightning bolt gathers enough to strike Cat Noir, but Ladybug hauls him out of the way in time.
Ladybug lands and sets Cat Noir down.
Aviator then snarls before saying to invoke her power, "Four can play that game! Ravaging Lightning Storm!"
Even darker storm clouds appeared, and a reddish-blue lightning bolt gathers big enough to crash down onto Stormy Weather.
But Stormy Weather deflects the lightning bolt, rendering it useless.
Aviator then proceeds to fire streams of lightning bolts out of her hands, attempting to strike Stormy Weather, but she continuously dodges the lightning bolts.
With Warm Weather and Calm Skies added to the mix, it was purely a matter of time before Stormy Weather got electrocuted enough to get knocked out.
Cat Noir then says, "You've just won yourself a catfight!"
Cat Noir charges, but Stormy Weather says, "Black ice!" as she fires her parasol at the street, turning it to ice.
Cat Noir jumps into the air and brings his staff down on Stormy Weather's head hard, but she blocks the strike with her parasol.
But the strike proved more than strong enough to shatter Stormy Weather's parasol.
Ladybug remarks, "Well, I wasn't expecting that to be this easy."
But then, Stormy Weather reveals her real parasol before coating the street with ice and then blowing the heroes away with a strong gust of wind.
Ladybug hooks her yoyo onto a street lamp and catches Cat Noir by his belt tail, just like in the original timeline.
The wind gust stops and the twosome drops to the floor.
The heroes look up to see Stormy Weather ignoring them, going around blowing cars to the sides and fronts of buildings with wind gusts.
But them, she sees a screen with Mireille on it, and she zaps it with a lightning bolt, destroying it.
The heroes land far enough behind Stormy Weather so that she can't see or hear them, and Cat Noir asks, "What's the plan, LB?"
Ladybug answers, "Cat, you and I along with Pipevine, Jean Velvet, and Calm Skies will distract Stormy, and Aviator, see if you can put your Bojutsu skills to use."
Aviator nods, bringing out her electric staff.
Ladybug and Cat Noir run alongside the faces of buildings, and Pipevine, Jean Velvet, and Calm Skies come at Stormy Weather from behind as soon as she turns around to see what the Omega Class Miraculous users were doing.
Stormy Weather growls, "Ugh..."
Ladybug shouts as she jumps and spin swings her yoyo in the shape of a staff-sword, "Hoaaah!"
And Cat Noir shouts as he also jumps and spin swings his normal staff, "Uhhhhh!"
Stormy Weather snarls as she unleashes a bigger gust of wind, "Not you again!"
The gust of wind knocks Ladybug and Cat Noir backwards through the air along with numerous vehicles.
Ladybug and Cat Noir shriek in unison, "Ahhhhhh!" "Ahhhhhh!"
Ladybug and Cat Noir land and they start evading vehicles left, right, center, and rear.
Ladybug asks, "Huh?" as soon as she sees a city bus about to crash on top of her and Cat Noir.
Ladybug holds Cat Noir close and uses her yoyo as a shield to slice a hole into the bus.
As soon as the bus bell stops tolling, Ladybug catches her yoyo before it can crash onto Cat Noir's head as soon as it stopped spinning.
Then, as soon as they get out of the bus, Aviator shows up with the others.
Aviator then says, "We gave it our best effort, and even despite most of us having combat training and even despite the odds being in our favor, we still lost the fight."
Ladybug growls at this.
In the city, on a rooftop, Stormy Weather lands and Hawk Moth says, "You showed them all who the real winner of the competition is, my weather girl, but now is the time to fulfill your end of our bargain. And here's my plan."
Back with the heroes, Ladybug asks, "Anyone or anything damaged?"
Ladybug got a chorus of negatives in response.
Cat Noir then asks, "Is she gone?"
Sky Wren answers, "Yep. Gone to the TVi Studio."
Stormy Weather says from the cracked screen, "Hello, viewers! Here's the latest forecast for the first day of summer. Looks like Mother Nature's had a change of plans. Summer vacation is officially over!"
Cat Noir remarks, "Already? But you know from the other one that I look good in a swimsuit."
King Hornbill then asks while holding up a decent sized Speedo, "Will this Speedo suffice?"
Cat Noir cringes while saying, "I take it back; I wouldn't look good in that thing."
King Hornbill shrugs before throwing the Speedo away.
Ladybug then says, "Hahahaha! Glad to see that swimsuits are your priority, Kitty."
Cat Noir replies, "Are you serious? I'd love to go to the beach, but tan lines and sharks."
Ladybug then says before saying to Sky Wren, "True, but for now, let's hold off on beach plans and judging swimsuits until we're actually in the middle of summer next year. And the armored catsuit with wings will do fine for now. Sky Wren, looks like our shared foreknowledge remains strong."
Sky Wren replies, "Yes, but we're about to head into a trap. I mean, why else would a supervillain announce their locations without even considering trying to lay a trap for their superhero enemies?"
Cat Noir says, "That's a good point. To the studio!"
On a screen in the studio, as snow falls slightly hard, Stormy Weather says, "Prepare for the worst weather in Parisian history!"
Cat Noir then asks, "LB, what are the chances that your Lucky Charm will summon a bath towel to deal with Stormy Weather a second time?"
Ladybug answers, "One hundred to one."
Cat Noir then asks as he gestures to a poster of Aurore, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is Aurore from Ms. Mendeleiev's classroom, right?"
Ladybug answers, "Yes. She wanted to win so bad, and yet, because of the identity rule and the love square, we never did find out why she lost!"
Red Cranecrown replies, "Ladybug, as soon as we're done, me and our friends will find out for you."
Ladybug says before saying, "Thanks. Okay, now, we might be walking into a trap at the main studio on the third floor of the building, so here's my plan."
Ladybug whispers her plan to the team, and after a chorus of affirmatives, they split up to fulfill their assignments.
At the doors to the studio, Stormy Weather says on a screen, "In Stormy Weather's world, it's Winter Wonderland FOREVER!"
Ladybug and Cat Noir nod before they rush to the doors and kick them open.
But when they enter the studio, they see no one there, and they see Stormy Weather on a laptop video being recorded by a camera.
Ladybug then exclaims dramatically, "Oh, no! It's a recording! We fell right into a trap!"
Stormy Weather cackles by the doors and fires a lightning bolt at the light fixtures.
This causes one of the lights to crash to the floor in pieces and the lights in the building go dark.
And along with that, Stormy Weather closes the doors shut while encasing them in ice.
In Hawk Moth's lair, Hawk Moth remarks, "This is all going wonderfully according to plan! Soon their Miraculouses will be mine. Bring them to me!"
Stormy Weather giggles as she runs away, but then, when Pipevine tries to block her way, she gets blown into one of the elevators.
Cat Noir says as he hears Stormy Weather running away, "Once again, Frosty the Snowgirl's getting away!"
Ladybug says as she uses the walking stick function of her yoyo to find her way in the dark, "That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?"
Ladybug then trips over a piece of the light fixture, and Aviator carries her from behind to prevent her from falling.
Cat Noir remarks, "Oh, do I hear a damsel in distress?"
Ladybug then replies before saying to Aviator, "Oh, I want to quote Hercules and Coraline, but now's the wrong time and place. Some of us still don't have night vision, and Aviator, please don't carry me like that again."
Aviator sets down Ladybug and Cat Noir takes her by her left hand, guiding her to the doors.
Cat Noir then says before asking, "This never happened in the original timeline. And this is really thick ice. What should we do?"
Ladybug answers, "Don't waste your Cataclysm for something like this. Use your staff instead. Remember, our weapons are indestructible by normal means so don't be afraid to use your weapon. Remember, only use your Cataclysm when it truly counts, and even though we can use our powers an unlimited number of times with and without upgrades provided by Aviator using the Rooster Miraculous, we can't repeatedly use our powers in public; Hawk Moth might get suspicious and any future chronological supervillains he Akumatizes might be made more powerful or they might be given different powers."
Cat Noir nods and extends his staff before bating away repeatedly real fast at the ice, shattering it without shattering the doors.
Cat Noir takes Ladybug by her left hand again, and she says, "Lead the way, alley cat!"
In a few minutes after that, the other heroes follow their comrades, most of them also having night vision.
They enter the next stairwell leading to the roof entrance, and Cat Noir notices Stormy Weather about to launch a fire extinguisher at Ladybug, and he calls out, "Duck!"
Stormy Weather throws the extinguisher, and Ladybug grabs it before setting it down next to the door.
The Oracle Knights finally get to the roof of the KIDZ+ building.
Cat Noir lets go of Ladybug's hand, and Stormy Weather remarks, "You airheads! You fell right into my trap!"
She makes a whirlwind appear with her parasol.
In Hawk Moth's lair, Hawk Moth remarks, "The time is now! Bring me the Miraculouses!"
Stormy Weather remarks again, "There's no way out! Party's over, fools!"
Ladybug cackles before saying, "I think not! Lucky Charm!"
She gets the same bath towel as before.
Cat Noir sees the signal and remarks, "Got it! Cataclysm!"
Cat Noir then says, "Hey, Coldilocks, is that all you got so far?"
Cat Noir's transformation theme plays as Cat Noir runs towards the billboard signs.
Stormy Weather fires lightning bolts at the cat hero, but he dodges the bolts on all fours without using his right hand on anything.
Cat Noir slides across the floor supporting the sign and he slashes the supports with his Cataclysm-induced claws, making the metal rust and break apart.
The sign starts to fall towards Stormy Weather, and she blasts a hole in it while Ladybug wraps her yoyo around Stormy's left ankle. At the same time, the sign breaks off the exit tube for an HVAC vent.
Ladybug's transformation music plays and Ladybug takes off running under pipes and against a crane before jumping over the exposed HVAC vent.
Ladybug opens the bath towel and she soars in the air, pulling down Stormy Weather.
The speed at which Stormy falls and the angle of the crane causes Stormy Weather to lose her parasol as she falls, screaming in terror.
Cat Noir catches the parasol and, deciding not to clue in Hawk Moth about the fact that he and the rest of his team can use their powers as many times as they want, he tosses it to Ladybug.
:Ladybug lands at the same time Stormy Weather lands on her back in pain, and she catches the parasol before snapping it in half over her armored knee, and she says, "Get out of here, you nasty insect!"
Ladybug does her spiel and uses the Miraculous Ladybug to restore everything back to normal.
Stormy Weather falls to the ground and turns back into Aurore.
Aurore then asks in disorientation, "Uh? What am I doing here?"
The heroes share a pound it.
Aurore then asks in a guilty tone, "I got Akumatized, didn't I?"
Ladybug answers, "Yep, but it's nothing to be ashamed about, madam. You were in a bad mood, and even if Hawk Moth didn't steal the Butterfly Miraculous, it happens to the best of us, and the worst of us. You were nothing short of a victim to Hawk Moth's control. Come now, let's get you home."
Ladybug carries Aurore bridal style and deploys her wings before slowly taking off in flight to prevent Aurore from suffering whiplash or air lag.
In Hawk Moth's lair, Hawk Moth snarls, "Someday, your Miraculouses will be all mine! I don't care about how many enemies I need to throw out at you all to win and I don't care if I can't Akumatize more than one supervillain at a time, but I will be victorious!"
The window to Hawk Moth's lair closes, engulfing it in darkness.
In the streets of Paris, Pipevine takes Calm Skies to an alley and says, "Arthelia, you did splendidly, for your moment of temporarily weakening Stormy Weather allowed us to achieve victory. And with that, I hereby bid you adieu."
Pipevine stretches her arms out in the same manner as Hawk Moth on Heroes' Day deakumatizing Volpina, and Calm Skies turns back into Arthelia.
The same goes for Flat Sparrow relieving Warm Weather of her services and turning her back into Nanor.
In the Place des Vosges, Marinette sneaks to the park, avoiding being seen by Alya and Manon.
Tikki then says, "Marinette, look, there's Vincent with Adrien."
Marinette nods and says, "This time, for sure. And I have a better way to make it even better."
Marinette then heads over to Alya and Manon, and Mano says, "Marinette! I know what your secret is!"
Marinette asks with a smirk, having lived through this before, "And what secret might that be, by any chance?"
Manon answers, "Ladybug is your best friend! That's how the both of you always know what the other one's gonna do!"
Marinette chuckles at that, and she hugs Manon.
Manon then asks, "Can I have a lollipop? Can I, can I, can I?"
Marinette replies, "Nope. Remember, if you chew on a lollipop before it completely melts, you might end up choking on some of the candy shards. But I do have something in mind."
Vincent then says before asking, "Ah! Hold it right there! That right there, that is what this photoshoot needs! Innocence, and laughter! Would you add this child in the photos, por favor?"
Marinette answers, "I'd have to ask her mother; she's only a child, and I'm only her babysitter, not her guardian. I'm not even at the correct age, nor am I related to her."
Vincent replies back, "Ah, but it'd be an excelente addition to the moment of surrogate familia bonding!"
Marinette puts Manon down, takes out her phone, and texts Nadia.
She definitely showed her surprise when Nadia answered that she was okay with it.
Manon then runs off to introduce herself to Adrien, and Adrien's contagious smile implied many things, aside from the obvious that he was refraining from accidentally spilling to Manon that he already knew who she was. Because of her first ever Akumatization into The Puppeteer.
Alya remarks as she struggles to prevent herself from laughing, "That – haha – that was unusual. Heh heh, but at least Adri-boy doesn't look bored or tired anymore."
Marinette replies, "Agreed."
Vincent takes photos of Marinette, Manon, and Adrien together.
Vincent remarks all the while, "Hohoho! Stupendous! Magnifico! Perfecto!"
At the end of the photoshoot, after having given Adrien, his bodyguard, and Vincent the pastries, Marinette and Adrien are drinking some fruit smoothies, and Adrien remarks, "I have to say, Mari, you deciding to give the Replica Butterfly Miraculous to your mother was a smart move."
Marinette replies, "Yes, but that means I'll have to find someone else to use the Canker Butterfly Miraculous. And true, I'd been training myself in frozen time for nine hundred years in how to use Miraculouses in singular transformations and unified transformation combinations along with using the Rabbit Miraculous at the same time to keep myself at my thirteenth year of age, but that doesn't change the fact that we might not always find someone in Paris among the masses of our friends and family, your father and Nathalie aside, to be worthy of using a Miraculous jewel, let alone joining our team."
Adrien nods in understanding before throwing his empty smoothie cup in the garbage.
Adrien then says, "See you tomorrow at school."
Adrien walks to his bodyguard's car and gets in.
Marinette heads home, and after explaining things to Nadia in accordance with keeping identities a secret, Alya was let off with a warning to never interfere with Marinette's love life again unless she wanted to be told on to her parents and banned from the bakery permanently.
After Marinette retreated to her bedroom with Alya after receiving her payment from Nadia, Alya says, "Hey, Marinette. I'm sorry for dragging you into doing something insane and unacceptable just to get Adrien's attention. You're right; I'm not in charge of any aspect of your love life."
Marinette replies, "The fact that you're willing to admit your mistakes makes you out to be someone who has the common sense to know when to properly atone for said mistakes."
Alya replies back, "Thanks, girl. I'll try not to drag you into anymore schemes, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna stop being your wingman. I want that ship to raise its sails."
Marinette rolls her eyes before grabbing a pillow and throwing it at Alya.
Alya exclaims as she catches it, "Hey!" And she throws it back.
What followed was a five minute pillow fight between the two girls, thankfully without breaking anything.
After making sure Alya went home, Marinette took out her chronological Akumatized villain, Amokized Sentimonster, and natural supervillain list, and she crosses off Stormy Weather.
Marinette then says as she looks over the list, "Up next is Mr. Ramier, aka Mr. Pigeon, and Monsieur Rat in the future thanks to Lila as Hawk Moth. Seriously, when is he ever going to get a new hobby than just feeding wild animals like pigeons or rats?"
Adrien replies telepathically, "Obviously, Ramier doesn't know that feeding wild animals is sort of illegal."
Marinette huffs, but deep down and on the outside, she knew Adrien was right.
The End.
(Author's notes: How do ya like them apples?
Also, I hope all of you in my reading audience are safe and sound out there, wherever you currently live. Because things are bound to go to Hell in a hand basket, if you know what I mean.
Also, like my Isekai'd as the new French Miraculous Superhero Team story, not every chapter will have a bonus scene. Sorry, but it's kinda hard to come up with so many concepts of bonus scenes from future chapters when you don't know what the story's future holds or what you'll be writing in each chapter to take place after the villains are gone.
In the next chapter, the Oracle Knights will contend with Mr. Pigeon. But how prepared will the heroes of Paris be? See you all in chapter 11: Mr. Dove and Ms. Stork, and you'll have to read the chapter in question to find out.)
