Emma's first reaction to seeing her brother to push Iris and Sophie towards Zacharie, "Sophie, Iris, move!"
The girls were grabbed by Zacharie and pulled away out of the way as Emma was hit full blast by the ice blast from her brother's ice akuma self.
Emma was launched clear out of the rink and landed with a thud as her head hit the wall.
….
"Emma!"
Iris called as Zacharie dragged her away from the ice rink and the akumaizted Louis.
Zacharie doubled checked and saw the former heroes, Chloé and Kagami, helping Nina, Tsubasa, and several others off the ice.
He looked relieved as he pulled Iris along, "Come on!"
As he pulled Iris off the rink and towards to door, " Sophie you to-" He trailed off as he realized Sophie was long gone.
….
The villian looked away from the girl on the ground, Mayuri sat in the rafters of the building, she laughed a little as she saw an angry Ladybug skate onto the ice in her ice form and threaten the ice akuma and the ice empowered Wukong. She opened her fan getting to strike at Ladybug but was startled as a bright white light opened an Bunnyx came out and pointed her umbrella at her.
"Do not do that Mayuri!" Bunnyx warned.
Bunnyx? Mayuri thought as she stared at the hero, she almost never showed but unless it was a big battle or involved time travel shenanigans.
"Let me explain, little one," The time hero continued narrowing her eyes, "If you get involved in this fight, if you injure Ladybug or Cat Noir today you'll regret. You'll end up in a no win timeline. Everyone will lose. Cut your losses and leave now."
They stared at each other for a minute before Mayuri closed her fan and looked at Bunnyx, "Why do you care so much?"
The rabbit heroine walked back into her portal, "You'll see."
….
"Em! Em! Em!"
Green eyes opened and she groaned and tried to sit up but noticed her leg covered in ice, "Shit. Plagg?"
He floated up into her view, "Kid?! You okay?!"
Emma leaned over to pick up her fallen glasses and put them on wincing. The teen put her hand to where her head hurt and pulled it back to see blood, "Shit."
A screech was heard and a shatter followed by a scream that Emma recognized, "Ladybug!"
Emma glared at the ice on her foot and then a Plagg, "We have to help her!"
Plagg nodded as Emma pulled out her candy container from her jacket, she opened it and selected the red one. The kwami made an annoyed sound and ate it.
A flame mohawk appeared on his head as he called, "Burning Plagg!"
….
Ladybug skated around her akumaizted boyfriend dodging Wukong as she did.
"LADYBUG DUCK!"
She recognized the voice and smiled then ducked.
The akumatized Louis, who honestly looked just liked an iced over him, looked shocked as Burning Cat Noir dropped from the ceiling launching a flaming punch in his face.
Ladybug smiled as she grabbed Cat Noir's hand and twirled, launching the flaming cat hero into Wukong.
Ladybug looked at the Ice Louis and muttered, "geez, Louis."
She summoned her lucky charm and blinked as it was a bungy cord then glanced at the akuma then the rafters then the battling Icy Wukong and Fiery Cat Noir, "Huh? An easy one today. Cat! Up!"
Ladybug wrapped and ended of the bungy cord around Ice Louis's foot and tossed the other end to Cat Noir.
Cat glanced at it and then nodded as she quickly moved to unarming the amok powered weapon and sending it to Ladybug then wrapped the foot of Wukong and using her flame empowered feet launched into the air jumping over a rafter and leaving them hanging.
Ladybug cheered in victory.
….
Iris was relieved when she saw that Ladybug and Cat Noir had stopped the villains and sighed as she pulled Zacharie along with her to check on Emma, or where Emma had landed at least but as she got over then she found Emma wasn't there at all.
"Huh?" Zach questioned as he looked around calling Emma's name.
The red head kneeled down and noticed a puddle of water on the ground and her eyes went up and glanced at the rink where a fiery Cat Noir stood.
….
Cat Noir looked at the angry akuma, that was just repeating 'ice ice baby' over and over, "Man, he sounds like a 90's sailor moon monster."
Ladybug laughed, surprising Cat Noir. The luck hero collected the amok and broke the skate and gathered the akuma as well, "So, you are funny."
The statement startled the black cat hero, everyone knew she was funny. She was always making her friends laugh, when she wasn't in a depression, intentional or not. But Cat realized that was Emma, she guess she never had really been like that around Ladybug.
"Maybe," Cat Noir decided to tease as she walked around to the struggling Wukong.
"Oh, so hot and funny?" Ladybug replied and she likely knocked out the ice akuma so they could focused on Wukong.
Cat blushed a little and Wukong gagged, "Gross, just let me go already so I don't have to see the flirting."
That caused Cat Noir and Ladybug to share a look before Cat leaned over and yanked his Miraculous off his head, " Hell no. And I've had enough of you!"
With the circlet in Cat Noir's hand, Wukong disappeared leaving only an angry looking chinese teenager in his place.
Ladybug and Cat Noir shared another look as then looked at the miraculous in the older girl's hand.
"Oh, my god. We got one back!" Ladybug jumped up and down, "Just think! We give it back to Mr. Kim and we can get more and-"
"Woah! I'm not giving it to it's former owner!" The other hero explained.
Ladybug looked shocked, she shook her head, "But it's Mr. Kim's…."
"No, it's whoever the Guardian says it is," Cat argued, "Plus it would just get stolen again. I'm not taking that risk."
A scowl appeared on the blonde hero's face, "had it over!"
All of a sudden they were struggling with the miraculous between them, it ended when Ladybug hit Cat Noir in the face and apologized as she realized what she did.
Cat Noir cursed and quickly left taking the Miraculous with her after that.
….
Later, Iris was holding an ice back to Emma's head. They were on the couch in th Dupain-Cheng's living room. Emma's head was Iris's lap.
Eventually Emma had come up with a weak excuse that Iris no longer bought, with a bleeding head. Sophie was here too, with also a weak excuse, waiting to check on Louis as he was being talked to by his grandparents, Kagami, and Chloé about going to therapy, Louis tried to argue Emma needed therapy, which shot back she never stopped going to therapy.
Iris glanced at Sophie as she talked softly with Emma about her head. The girl in her lap laughed it off and tried to change the subject about whether she was safe during the fight.
Iris Bellamy didn't hate Sophie Lèon. She didn't try to anyway, she was kind and good natured, even if spoiled some times and opinionated. But Iris did heavily disliked her. For a reason no one could control.
Because a lot of the time, when Emma and Sophie were together they seemed to ignore the world around them. The way they both played with their necklaces, Emma not flinching away from Sophie's surprise touches, or the fact that were ignoring her right now.
The worst part? She knows neither is doing it on purpose. She should let it go.
But all Iris could thinking about while holding the cold pack to Emma's face is Emma called Sophie name first when pushing them to safety earlier.
….
Chloé looked awkwardly later that night at the table talking to Sophie, "So, me and Kagami are quite seriously. We started getting closer at the stolen miraculous support group…"
"Mom, it's fine. Kagami's great," Sophie tiredly replied.
"Oh, thank god," Chloé sighed, "I was so worried."
Tikki laughed quietly in Sophie's pocket.
….
Emma looked at the red and purple on her forehead hissed. She sent the photo to the curious Jake and Rachel then looked at Plagg who was glaring at the monkey miraculous.
"I thought Miraculous Ladybug healed all the damages done?" Emma asked annoyed.
"It works on what Ladybug wants fixed and you pissed her off," Plagg replied as he tapped the circlet, "Xuppu! Come out your safe."
A bright light filled the room and a monkey looking kwami appear looking overjoyed, "Plagg!"
They hugged as Emma made a face, "My budget can't handle two of them…"
Xuppu smiled "Welcome to Tikki Facts!"
Xuppu and Tikki hugged as Plagg made a face.
"So, let's talk about miraculous potions!" Plagg said, "The potions were created slowly over time."
"Currently we have 7," Xuppu added, "Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Purple, Pink, and Orange. I forget the names."
"But, anyone can create a new potion if they figure it," Tikki finished.
"So do you time Ladybug and Cat Noir are going to make up soon?" Xuppu asked concerned.
Tikki and Plagg stared into the distance, "No."
Author's Note
1 kwami down, 11 to go. Relationship maxed out. I love.
Anyway, any idea what the pink potion should do? Thats the only one i have no idea for, i have plans for the others, added to that I have gone back to include the Tikki Facts addition to older chapter FYI.
Also like I've mentioned before I do have the story planned our over all for about a 100 chapters/ 32 Episodes + Episode 0. But, I've more or less kicked around 3 other stories I might add to this "universe" if you will. I'm basically planning an multiverse if you will that include: 1) Sophie, Zacharie, and Nina end up in a musical, 2) An AU of my original story that has Emma and Emilie not having been in the car and ending up in a terrible future they have to fix via time travel, and 3) Mayuri and Luna Moth messes up big time when she creates a Cat Blanc and Anti-Bug and has to team up with some heroes to fix it.
Just some ideas.
But next time Episode 14: Just Be Friends- Everyone seems to have a lot to think about but those thoughts are pushed away as they get trapped in a building. With Emma and Hugo trapped, Ladybug and some of the other heroes need to save the day quick before it's too late.
Review and Thanks for Reading!
