Ladybug got knocked out the water but luckily Rena Rogue was there to catch her.
Rena landed to the side and let Ladybug down as she coughed, "Damn Whalemore."
She heard Carapace and Rowdy off fighting in the distance and then looked at Rena, "Have any ideas on fighting this thing?"
"If we had the aqua potions we do just dive and fight it," Rena explained, "But only Lady- the old Ladybug and the old Miraculous Guardian knew how to make them."
"Well, that's just great."
…..
Cat Noir blinked surprised as she came in from the balcony. Hugo was sitting beside their grandmother in her hotel room mixing chemical like things while looking at a book between them.
Cat took a breath and thought for a moment about how to approach this situation since her baby brother was in the room, "Mrs. Agreste?"
Nathalie and Hugo jumped in surprise, "Cat Noir?"
"Yes, you said you have something for me?" The hero explained wondering why Hugo was here at all and what was going on.
Nathalie moved out of the way to show the teenager the vials on the counter, "Miraculous potions. Fresh made." She patted a book in her lap. I made not be able to read the Miraculous book but it seems my grandson can."
"Wh...What?" Cat Noir asked concerned as she looked at the book trying to read but came up blank, " I can't read this."
Nathalie sadly nodded, "Hugo knows how."
Cat Noir slowly looks over to her brother, "Hugo?"
The blond boy looked uncomfortable, "Um, Mom had all these old books with notes on how to read this stuff. I used to study it. You know, to feel closer to her and my dad."
The hero blinked, "Oh."
Nathalie rolled up to her and slides two green looking candy things into her hand, "Look, The book and the miracle box go to the guardian of the Miraculous. But, thats something to consider later. For now? These are two Aqua potions. Go save the day."
…..
Rowdy wiped the blood from his lip and glared at his surprise attacker to see it is Rena Rogue, "Rena? You left Ladybug to fight the akuma alone."
A smirk appeared on her face as there was a low loud sploosh was heard as the whale akuma got knocked into followed by a wave of ladybugs.
"How?!"
Suddenly Ladybug and Cat Noir landed in Aqua from, them in scaly looking suits with fins.
"Oh. Stay!"
With a use of his power he froze them and ran away while he still could.
….
Sophie sat with Tikki in her bed thinking about everything that happened today.
Tikki floated and pointed to the candies they had received, "well this is different. Last time Marinette had them in cookies. Interesting new guardian."
Sophie wasn't thinking too hard about this, she trusted Cat Noir and if Cat Noir trusted this person she would.
No, Sophie was playing with her yang necklace thinking back to when the fight was over and how she had seen Iris had found a soaking wet Emma and how they had shared a relieved kiss and whispered English words to each other.
Words Sophie couldn't understand.
Iris was more concerned than Louis had been when they had been reunited.
The blonde sighed as she grabbed her phone.
"Sophie?" Tikki asked wondering what she was doing and floated up to see what she was doing.
In Sophie's search bar was 'How to learn English.'
…..
Emma ruffled her wet hair. She was so getting tired of jumping into water. Yeah, she was a good swimmer but she was getting tired of walking home wet.
The girl sat on her bed with a sigh. The ache in her chest and head were getting worse. The more she thought about her little brother taking over as the Miraculous Guardian the more it hurt.
The girl took off her glasses placing them on the night table and grabbed her medicine taking one of each pill. Looks like the trick Tikki and Plagg pulled had fully worn off.
Emma glanced to her kwami to see that Plagg was glaring at the potion candies ending a large lump of camembert.
"I hate transforming," he muttered for the 22nd time.
"Hey, Plagg?" the oldest Agreste asked, "Is there anyway I can be the guardian instead?"
The cat hummed as he sat on Alice, who at this point didn't react to him, "I don't think so kit. The guardian is suppose to be able to read and figure out the potions, which Hugo is a natural at. Also they need to have a very special chi so they can use any miraculous. Hugo's chi is that none threatening. Your mom was an expectation, she could use a lot of miraculous but never could use them to their fullest."
Emma rubbed her eyes enough, "We have a guardian then….I don't know what to do….I told the others but….Hugo's 10, Plagg."
"Almost 11," Plagg tried to help as he moved to Emma's shoulder, "Plus, unlike other guardians he has an awesome older sister to help him out."
The teenager couldn't help but smile at that.
"Besides right now all he is doing is making potions with your grandma," Plagg added shrugging, "Nothing too big. We'll worrying more if we ever find the Miracle Box."
"You're right," Emma agreed as she glanced at her phone and started fiddling with her yin necklace as she replied to all her text messages, "Why am I so popular?"
"I hear it's to do with your arms."
"Not you too, Plagg."
"I'm mean I hear things, Em."
"Only Iris. Only Iris likes my arms."
"You say this."
…..
Meanwhile up stairs in his room, Hugo Agreste was glancing around the Miraculous book. Learning he was helping Cat Noir and the other heroes with his reading of the book had gotten him so excited and he was now looking at all the drawings and recipes.
He had to keep his helping a secret but he could do that, I mean it was almost like he was a hero too. Apparently according to his grandmother, his parents had a similar role when they were younger.
The blonde boy paused as he stared at a picture that caught his attention, "Wow."
It was of the cat hero, on fire with burned marks and what looked like lava in the costume. He read the title of the form in awe, "Burning Form."
"Welcome to Tikki Facts," Plagg greeted, "Where we reveal a fact or relating to the episode."
Tikki nodded, "So Emma likes Star Wars?"
"Emma loves 3 main things in media she consumes: fantasy, sci-fi, and lesbians. Star Wars has all 3," Plagg explained.
Tikkk raised her eyebrow, "These lesbians in Star Wars?"
"Look you can ask Emma if you want. I'm not hearing her argument again over Ahsoka being a lesbian or her shipping of Ahsoka and Barris," he whined and looked at Tikki, "So what does Sophie like?"
"Oh, paranormal romances and urban fantasy stuff," She shrugged, "oh and superheroes."
Plagg chuckled, "Of course she likes superheroes."
Tikki waves to the reader, "see you next chapter. "
Author's Note
Sorry, for the late up date. Work and life are kicking my ass.
But, anyway I'm mad. Hamilton came out and made me want to make a musical episode but I'm not budging from my outline. If I make a musical thing it will be a special thing. (Honestly, I just want to have Emma sing helpless to Sophie and have Louis sing you want my sister) Also, I'm scratching my head trying come up with powers for the pink and orange potions so if you have any ideas I would appreciate it.
Next time Episode 13:Icing Over- Louis is learning that Sophie and Emma were much closer than he thought as Iris starts to question why Emma always seems to disappear on her. While Emma and Sophie have to play damage control and stop the latest tacky villain on the week.
Anyway thanks for reading please review and see you next time.
