Miraculous: Chloe Bourgeois Time Travel Fix-It.
Chapter 16: Oracle Knight Blog.
(Three hundred and four thousand, six hundred and third Quantic Universe Earth, Paris, France, Friday, September 25th, 2015, third person POV...)
Alya says, "Yo, peeps, Alya here. We're live from Paris with the one and only Oracle Knight Blog. For those of you among my audience who don't know what that is yet, welcome to the greatest reporter's blog ever in the history of the world and the 21st century. I created the Oracle Knight Blog to share with all of you my exclusive videos about our greatest superhero army, the Oracle Knights! Why, you ask? Because they're incredible! Any time an Akumatized villain turns up, the Oracle Knights and their leader, the one I love the most like a sister, Ladybug, manages to stop their goals and return them to normal in order to save Paris without breaking into a sweat. I'm telling you, Ladybug in particular is the best, right next to Majestia in New York City!"
In a flashback to Chronostasis and Timefixer as Alya talks, Timebreaker skates towards Bunnyx, but she jumps out of the way before launching her umbrella at Timebreaker's head.
Timebreaker falls to the floor, then gets back up.
But then, Ladybug throws her yoyo at Timebreaker's skates and the impact causes her to faceplant on the floor.
Ladybug remarks, "Time out, Timebreaker!"
Alya then confesses, "Of course, before this blog was called the Oracle Knight Blog, I originally wanted it to be called the Ladyblog in honor of Ladybug. But then, my BFF Marinette told me that it was a bad idea. The reason why is because, and I quote, '"Because Ladybug has a team of superheroes at her command aside from just Cat Noir, and you singling out Ladybug is gonna make people start asking questions, and it's also gonna make people think that you think Ladybug is the only important superhero in Paris today and by that reckoning, people might start asking you if you think that every member of the Oracle Knights is irrelevant except for Ladybug. If any of that happens, you could lose viewers and your blog's popularity will fall closer to below fifty percent."' Yeah, that was truly a shocking eye-opener, and an embarrassing one at that. But nevertheless, I know when to take my friends at their word when it involves superheroes, internet research, someone telling tall tales that either don't make sense or don't appear in general to be true, and of course, when it comes to standard decisions that reap rewards or punishments."
Alya takes a breath before she says to continue the live stream, "Anyway, for those of you among my audience who doesn't know, the Oracle Knight Blog users are always asking me how I just so happen to be there whenever Ladybug is in action with her teammates, even if not in person. Well, that's easy; I have a special news alert on my phone that notifies me instantly when Ladybug and the Oracle Knights are in action and whenever they're spotted on the news."
In a flashback to Lady Internet and Techno-Master, Nadia Chamack says in a news report on Alya's phone, "Once again, the Oracle Knights have saved Paris from the clutches of a menacing villain."
Alya says, "All I have to do is get to the scene and begin filming, so that way nobody misses a thing. Of course, for a time before my first Akumatization into Lady Wifi, my dream had been to find out Ladybug's identity so I could offer her my help because I always wanted to be a superhero. But the thing is, as my BFF Marinette had pointed out to me numerous times, if in the event I ever posted Ladybug's identity on my blog, the next day, she'll end up murdered alongside her family and allies in the Oracle Knights. So, by that reckoning, if Ladybug found out that I posted her identity on my blog, she'll immediately think that I hate her and thus want her and her family dead. As I grew to realize in the aftermath of my first Akumatization into Lady Wifi, superheroes like Superman, Majestia, Spider-Man, Batman, Knightowl, Rorschach, Green Lantern, Booster Gold, The Flash, and Sparrow among others keep their identities a secret to protect themselves, their families, and their friends from prosecution, from legal mitigation, from provoked retaliation, and to ensure that their private lives remain private. This is true because, for someone like Ladybug, if she wanted to go shopping or go to a movie premiere, she'd have to have kept her identity a secret to prevent herself from being bothered or from potentially getting mugged or raped. As my BFF also said, for another example, in the Marvel Comics Civil War comic issue number two and the comic book issues one, two, three and four for One More Day, because of Spider-Man's support of the Superhero Government Registration Act, he had to reveal his true identity of Peter Benjamin Parker to the whole world as a final test of supporting Iron Man's stance on superheroes working for the United States government, and even though he finally got his revenge on the original Green Goblin Norman Osborn by having him sent to prison at long last, Peter grew to eventually regret his decision for a world wide identity reveal because his Aunt May was shot and was not gonna make it, with the assassin being hired by none other than Wilson Fisk, also known as The Kingpin of crime. So, Spider-Man made a deal with the demon overlord, Mephistopheles, to have his identity no longer public knowledge, but with the price being that his marriage to Mary Jane Watson having to be non-existent from there on. Even though Peter didn't want to live the rest of his life as a single man looking for love again, he knew that he had to accept the deal.
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie; that being recited to me by Ladybug herself was truly an eye-opener for sure. And before I unintentionally got Akumatized to find out Ladybug's identity, I relied on my power of observation to uncover clues. For example, when Ladybug first debuted, in the midst of the fight against Stoneheart, I used to think that maybe she was a scientist who got stung by a radioactive ladybug while strolling at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie. But the more I think about it, especially since I've seen Ladybug's earrings glow every time she uses her auxiliary powers, the more I realize that the tales of the Miraculouses being invented in Ancient China five thousand and fifteen years ago are true, and Ladybug had laughed hysterically when I told her my theory before telling me that that only applies to superheroes like Spider-Man, Rick Rikers aka Dragonfly from the Spider-Man parody Superhero Movie, and Pelle Nohrmann aka Antboy from the Antboy film trilogy in Denmark, and she also said that actual ladybugs don't sting because they don't have stingers. Clearly, I mistook ladybugs for bees, wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets. I felt so stupid for not realizing that fact sooner, along with the fact that ladybugs only bite when they're threatened by humans. So, the bug-bite theory thing was thrown out the window, so to speak. Anyway, as you can see, I look, I listen, and I share everything I learn with you here on the Oracle Knight Blog. And I intend to keep tracking and filming our favorite superhero army on all of their missions. Sooner or later, I might accidentally stumble upon Ladybug's identity even though I truly intend to stop investigating something that I shouldn't. In the meantime, if you've got any ideas or theories, keep them to yourself. As it turns out, Hawk Moth follows my blog in secret to exploit any potential weaknesses from any form of information about our heroes. And if Hawk Moth ever gets his hands on the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses and he manages to use them in unison, it's game over for our reality. Anyway, I've gotta get to class; can't skip school just for a job as a reporter. See you later, Oracles, and stay connected!"
The End.
