Back at the school...
Marinette and Adrien had already left to go home since it was getting dark out. Class 1-A was settling in for the night, pulling out their sleeping bags and a movie to watch. The others wanted to stay and watch, but Marinette had to help close up the Bakery Shop and Adrien promised Natalie to be home before it was ten o'clock.
Midoriya sat next to Todoroki, thinking about Uraraka missing out on all of the fun. He looked at the floor, as if she'd be sitting right next to him, holding his arm for an embrace.
"Are you okay, Midoriya?" Todoroki asked him.
"H-Huh? Uh... yeah, I'm okay," Midoriya said to him, "I'm just... worried about Ochaco."
"Yeah, but I'm sure she's doing just fine. She's pretty strong," Todoroki said to him.
Midoriya gave him a subtle smile, happy to have friends around for tonight's movie night.
"What movie should we watch this time?" Jirou asked, flipping through some DVDs.
Ashido thought about it for a moment, and her eyes shined bright when she saw a movie Jirou passed by.
"Wait a minute, what was that?!" Ashido cried out as she accidentally pushed Jirou out of the way.
"Hey!"
"Sorry Jirou, but look what I found!" Ashido cried out as she held up a DVD, "I can't believe Ladybug and Cat Noir never told us about this!"
Class 1-A all looked up at what Ashido held and were all shocked. It was a movie about Ladybug and Cat Noir.
"What?! They never mentioned anything about a movie being made about them!" Kirishima cried out, "This is so cool!"
"Okay, we have to put this on," Sato said to Ashido.
Ashido handed the movie over to Jirou, and she put in the movie. The moment she pressed play, everyone was so excited to watch it. Once the movie started, Ladybug and Cat Noir were clearly animated. The more they watched it, the more they noticed the voice actor for Cat Noir sounded a lot like Adrien.
"Doesn't Cat Noir sound a lot Adrien?" Jirou asked her friends, "That's a little weird. Especially if they're trying to keep their identity a secret."
Ashido searched on her phone more about the movie.
"Yeah, it's him! It's Adrien!" Ashido cried out laughing, "That's so funny, considering Ladybug sounds nothing like her."
"It's so weird that Adrien was okay with doing this," Midoriya pointed out, "I didn't even know he was an actor."
"It sounds like it was more to do with his father than being Cat Noir," Bakugo commented.
Class 1-A sat there silent, surprised that it's been that long since HawkMoth was defeated.
"Yeah..." Kirishima said to him, "You're probably right."
Midoriya watched the movie with his friends, and a scene with HawkMoth came up. It looked like he was about to akumatize someone. The white butterfly in the palms of his hands turned purple and flew out of the butterfly window.
"This feels a little weird watching this without Adrien and Marinette," Todoroki said to Midoriya.
"Yeah... A little," Midoriya said, rubbing the back of his head.
In the corner of Midoriya's eye, he saw something coming straight towards him. It was an akuma.
He jumped up, scaring everyone around him.
"Geez Midoriya, it's not that--"
"An akuma!" Midoriya cried out.
Class 1-A jumped up from their sleeping bags and all had wide eyes. They tried to shoo it away, but it almost got to Midoriya. Todoroki pushed him out of the way, and it went into his phone.
"Todoroki!" Midoriya cried out, and then noticed more akumas coming for them.
It had to have been maybe at least more than enough to get at least most of them in the room. Midoriya eyes widened when he saw one go into something Jirou through at it. He spotted a few of his friends that were okay and ran for them. He grabbed Ashido and Kirishima and got them out of there. As he looked back at his friends, Midoriya noticed Bakugo and Aoyama who were still fending them off.
"Kacchan! Get out of there!"
Midoriya ran back in there, and he could hear Kirishima and Ashido cry out for him. Midoriya reached out for his childhood friend and tried to pulled him out of there.
"Let go of me, Deku," Bakugo growled at him.
"No way, Kacchan! Not when there's this many akumas around!" Midoriya cried back.
Bakugo spotted another one coming straight towards Midoriya, and he pushed him out of the classroom. Midoriya turned around to see an akuma go into Bakugo's pocket to absorb into something that was hidden.
"Kacchan! No!" Midoriya cried out.
Midoriya felt tears form under his eyes when he was a few of his friends turned into akumatized villains.
"Midoriya, we have to go now!" Kirishima cried out.
Kirishima pulled Midoriya up, and they all ran out of the school. Midoriya noticed that Sato had gotten out of there. They all ran downstairs and bumped into Mr. Aizawa.
"What's going on? I heard yelling," Mr. Aizawa asked, clearly worried for his students.
"The-There's a bunch of akumas!" Ashido cried out, "They were everywhere!"
Mr. Aizawa's eyes widened and led his students out of the school. He was heading over to the Bakery Shop, when he noticed a couple of other akumatized villains running around.
"What's going on?" Mr. Aizawa asked more to himself.
Then he spotted Ladybug launch her yo-yo on the rooftop of house and head straight towards one of the akumatized villains. She immediately saw Class 1-A and changed her direction over to them. She landed right in front of them and noticed right away that there was only five of them.
"What was going on?" Ladybug asked with a worried tone, "I saw on my computer a bunch of akumas flying around Paris!"
"They showed up in our classroom!" Kirishima cried, "They got some of us, including Bakugo!"
Ladybug's eyes widened at how shocking this all was. She certainly didn't expect Chrysalis to be able to pull off something like this. This kind of reminded her of when HawkMoth tried to akumatize a bunch of people during Heroes Day.
But Chrysalis shouldn't be able to do this. She was around their age after all.
"This isn't good. We've gotta find Alya right now!" Ladybug said to them.
Ladybug and the others followed towards Alya's apartment. It didn't take long to bump into Cat Noir.
"Hey Ladybug! I guessing you saw all of the akumas as well?" Cat Noir asked teasingly.
"Now's not the time for jokes, Cat Noir. Class 1-A just got hit by some of them," Ladybug explained.
Cat Noir's eyes widened and looked back at the class. There was only Midoriya, Kirishima, Ashido, Sato, and Mr. Aizawa left. He even noticed that Bakugo wasn't with them.
"Well, that's not good," Cat Noir commented.
Ladybug soon landed onto Alya's balcony and knocked onto her door. Soon enough, Alya came running up to the door and slid it open.
"Mar-- Ladybug, what's going on?!" Alya cried out, "I saw a bunch of akumas outside, and then--"
Alya looked down to see the rest of Class 1-A standing there. Once she noticed there weren't as many this time around, she knew why.
"The akumas got them?" Alya asked Ladybug, just to be sure.
Ladybug nodded with a determined look on her face.
"We need you, Rena Rouge," Ladybug said to her.
Alya nodded back and reached into her bag attached to her waist. She put her necklace on and transformed on the spot.
"Okay, let's go," Ladybug said to her, and they all ran back to the school.
Midoriya then thought about someone he didn't think he'd ever worry about. But after what has happened with her recently, he had to check on her.
"Ladybug, we should check on Chloe," Midoriya cried out.
Ladybug haulted for a moment, not expecting Midoriya to say something like that. Even Cat Noir and all of his classmates were shocked.
"Izuku, we don't have time," Ladybug said to him, "We have to do something about your friends. They have quirks, just like when you and Uraraka got akumatized."
Midoriya couldn't believe what she was saying. He stood there, feeling like she would've totally done it if this was anyone else besides Chloe.
"If it was Adrien who was akumatized, you'd run in there no problem," Midoriya said to her, knowing full well that Cat Noir was standing right there.
Ladybug had a flash of Cat Blanc for a moment and felt herself glance over at Cat Noir. Now that she knows Cat Blanc was Adrien, she felt like she had to listen to Midoriya this time around.
"Alright, let's go."
In the André Le Grand Paris Hotel...
Chloe was for once having a nice night with Zoe. Midoriya had gotten through to her, and she actually asked Zoe to spend the night in her room. Zoe was surprised at first, but once they started doing each other's nails, she was actually enjoying it.
Even Chloe was shocked that she was having such a good time with her half sister.
They even put on the Ladybug and Cat Noir movie on and was laughing at how ridiculous the movie was. Zoe had never seen it before, so it was kind of refreshing for Chloe to watch it with someone like her.
She felt herself smiling at how amazing this was. Zoe was sitting next to her, smiling. She didn't want to go see Marinette instead of her. She was actually enjoying doing something with her.
Chloe felt herself start to drift off to sleep as she relaxed into her bed.
"This is nice..." Chloe mumbled to herself.
Soon enough, she woke up to Zoe shaking her shoulders. She seemed a little nervous about something.
"Chloe! Chloe wake up!" Zoe cried to her, "There are akumas!"
Chloe jolted upright, looking around for any sign of akumas. There weren't any in her room, but she spotted a couple of them flying around outside.
They both ran out of Chloe's room and onto the balcony. Both of them watched two akumas looking around for someone to akumatize. Chloe immediately thought they should stay inside. She looked at Zoe, who looked around frantically probably looking for Ladybug or Cat Noir.
"Zoe, we should head inside," Chloe said to her as she reached out for her sister, "Come on."
Zoe spotted an akuma coming straight for Chloe, and she pushed her back into her room without thinking.
"Chloe, watch out!"
"Zoe!" Chloe cried out, watching the akuma go into Zoe's right shoe.
A purplish cloud formed around her, and Chloe quickly hid under behind her chair. She looked up to see Zoe now looking a lot like Vesperia, but with more of a Butterfly Miraculous look to her. She had purple designs around some of the yellow stripes. There was even a purple stripe on her mask.
"Zoe is Vesperia?" Chloe mumbled to herself.
Chloe sat there, thinking about what this meant. Her own half sister was replacing her as Queen Bee. That day when Ladybug and Cat Noir went on a mission to save Midoriya, Vesperia was there. It was Zoe that went with them.
She wanted to be angry, but for some reason, she couldn't find a reason to be angry. Zoe did what Ladybug asked her to do, and she did it. She went on a mission with her and was able to save him and get a bunch of Miraculous back.
Something she probably wouldn't be able to do.
Chloe took a deep breath in and out and looked up again to see Zoe walk into her room. She was looking for her.
"Chloe, where are you?" Zoe asked her, "Come on out. I won't hurt you."
Chloe hid behind the chair, sneaking a glance to see where she went. Zoe walked in the opposite direction she wanted to go in. Chloe quietly snuck by her and hid under her bed.
She pulled out her phone and tried to find someone to call. Then she saw Sabrina's phone number.
Chloe felt something coming over her when she saw her number, but then she scrolled past her and kept looking. She noticed she had Marinette's phone number for some reason. She never bothered to call her except for the one time she sent an invite to her. She felt awkward about that, so she scrolled past her and saw Adrien's phone number.
Even seeing his made her tear up a little. He was her friend, and she treated him like trash. She really wanted to talk to him, but she's barely seen him at school since she came back. She really hoped he was okay considering what happened with his father.
Then she realized she never got Midoriya's phone number. She realized right then and there that she would call him or even Bakugo if she had asked for their phone number.
There was no one for her to call for help.
"Chloe, please come out," Zoe said to her, "I promise I won't hurt you. I just want to take you back to Chrysalis."
Chloe held her breath, noticing she was very close to her bed. She really wanted to call Midoriya for help, but she didn't have his number.
All of a sudden, someone grab her legs and try to pull her out of her bed. She could hear Zoe trying so hard to pull her out, so she tried to kick at her. She held onto one of the legs of her bed, but she felt her grip slipping.
"Chloe, stop struggling and come see Chrysalis!"
"Izuku, I need help!" Chloe thought out loud.
All of a sudden, she could hear someone barge into her room. She felt Zoe let go of her legs and crawled out of her bed and hid behind it. She could hear Zoe yell out her name, but was taken down rather easily by a few others in her room. She thought she heard a familiar voice, but it wasn't Ladybug this time around. He was looking for her.
"Chloe!" It was Midoriya.
She was too scared to look up, feeling tears start to form under her closed eyes.
"Chloe! There you are!" Then she heard him walk up to her, "Are you okay?"
She looked up to see Midoriya reaching out to her. The way the light hit him made him look even more heroic than before. She couldn't look away from him, feeling her hand reach out to him. His smile made her feel so much better after what Zoe was about to do.
"Iz-Izuku..." Chloe said and without thinking, she threw herself into him.
Midoriya wasn't expecting that, but hugged her back anyway. He helped her up with everyone there help her out. A few of Midoriya's classmates and his teacher showed up. Even Ladybug and Cat Noir were there, holding Zoe back with her yo-yo.
"You all came here... to save me?" Chloe said, surprised that she didn't have to call anyone.
"Of course," Ladybug said to her with a smile, "But you should thank Izuku for that. He was really worried about you."
Chloe looked up at Midoriya, noticing how close he was to her. She stepped away from him a little, feeling a little warm for a moment.
"Tha-Thank you... Iz-Izuku..." Chloe said to him, "For saving me..."
Midoriya smiled brightly at her, and then she noticed she'd been crying when he found her hiding. She felt her cheeks warm up even more and quickly wiped them away.
"What're we going to do about Zoe?" Ladybug asked them.
Chloe stepped up and walked over to her half sister. Ladybug tried to hold back so she wouldn't get out of the yo-yo's string.
"It's in her right shoe," Chloe said as she tried to yank it off of her foot.
She was able to get it and quickly ripped a piece of it off. The akuma flew out of it.
"No more evil doing for you little akuma," Ladybug said, activating her yo-yo, "Time to de-evilize! Bye bye, little butterfly."
A purplish formed around Zoe and transformed her back into her civilian outfit. Ladybug let her go with Zoe realizing she'd been akumatized again. Zoe spotted Chloe and instantly felt tears coming.
"Chloe! I'm sorry," Zoe said as she gave her half sister a hug, "There was an akuma coming for you, and I pushed out of the way--"
"Zoe, please," Chloe interrupted, "You're embarrassing me. Besides, I had fun tonight."
Zoe smiled widely and gave her another hug. Chloe felt herself start to warm up Zoe being around and gave her a hug back.
Ladybug smiled so proudly at Chloe and Zoe, finally seeing them getting along. Even Midoriya was so proud of Chloe and felt a wide smile form across his face.
He was glad he came to save her.
Another amazing chapter!
I actually had a lot of fun writing this chapter, specifically because of Chloe's part! I just think Chloe deserved better, especially in Season 2! Her character is the best in Season 2, and then the writers just kind of go in a completely different direction for her, and it feels so out of place. Also, if they had stuck with Season 2 Chloe, I feel like her and Zoe would've had such an amazing relationship!
Class 1-A was having such a good time watching the Ladybug and Cat Noir movie from the animated show! It's the one from the episode Animaestro! I totally forgot that Adrien does play Cat Noir in the movie, which I thought was really funny to add in. A bunch of akumas flew in and ruined movie night! It got Jirou, Todoroki and Bakugo, but I'll leave up to the rest for later in the book!
Midoriya saved Chloe from an akumatized Zoe! Again, I really like Chloe and Zoe just having a nice girl's night together. This really could've happened if the writing wasn't so weird with Chloe later on. I'm just starting to like Chloe seeing Midoriya as a hero at this point, so yeah!
What's going to happen next??
More to come soon!
