Sorry for not updating, I've been caught up with school and family.
Also, Akira Toriyama's death really caught me off guard, as he was one of the reasons I even got into fanfiction in the first place.
RIP Akira Toriyama, you touched so many people's hearts and made a legend.
The Legend of Dragonball.
Officer Raincomprix waited outside the abandoned slums with a look of worry on his face as he stood next to his patrol car. It had been a simple disturbance report at first, some hoodlum was causing trouble, nothing not even a rookie could handle. Then it changed. Suddenly he got a report saying that this "hoodlum" had managed to wipe out an entire squad of officers with little effort. He encountered the boy himself, and once he looked into those cyan-blue eyes, he knew the boy was a killing machine. No mercy, just pure killer instinct.
Against his orders, one of the officers decided to send out a Ladybug-themed signal flare to alert Ladybug and Cat Noir. He didn't have anything personal against the duo, but if he had to choose between the Miraculous Heroes and the Autobots, then he would have selected the Autobots. At least they knew crime fighting wasn't a game. Plus, he owed them his life after that ordeal with the Decepticon Invasion of Paris. "What's the current status of the situation, officer?" Turning his head to where the voice came from, he saw Ladybug and Cat Noir hanging from a lamppost, a cocky smile present on their faces.
"Ladybug. Cat Noir." The Sergeant replied, acknowledging their presence. Both Miraculous heroes jumped from their current positions as if they thought they were dealing with another Akuma. It honestly made him annoyed. Professionalism is always important. Raincomprix thought as he sighed.
"So where's the akumatized guy at?" Ladybug asked. Roger mentally sighed at that. Akuma. He knew about those things and had a few encounters with Hawkmoth's "minions", but he knew this mysterious perpetrator wasn't an Akuma just by looking at him. However, he couldn't tell the duo that. Ladybug(And he knew it was Ladybug who mostly called the shots) would have never interfered if she knew it wasn't an Akuma. Roger knew from both experience and police reports that explained how if someone was being mugged or any other crime and the duo just happened to be in the area, they wouldn't interfere because the perp wasn't an Akumatized villain, instead leaving it to the local police force. "Officer?" he heard Ladybug ask, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"He's inside there," Roger explained, pointing to where he had unknowingly sent five officers to their deaths.
Ladybug looked toward the demolished building and smiled, "You can leave now." She remarked with an air of authority. "There's no use in getting any more of you guys hurt on the job."
Ladybug and Cat Noir entered the building, ready to take on this supposed Akuma. While Ladybug was more than willing to stick with Akumas, Cat Noir had other ideas. "Ladybug," he whispered as they continued searching the area, "You ever feel like we could do more for Paris?" Ladybug looked at him with a confused look.
"I don't follow," she replied. "Please elaborate."
The feline hero could only sigh as he realized this wouldn't be easy. "Well," he began, I think that as heroes, we should be more helpful toward the people of Paris," This earned him a raised eyebrow from his partner in heroics, causing him to explain even further, "I feel like we could be doing more like what the Autobots were doing by choosing to team up with the police," Ladybug said nothing in response, instead putting a hand to her chin as if in deep thought. "Optimus Prime and his teammates risked their own private lives and freedom just to help out the civil servants." He jumped on a catwalk as he continued, not taking his mind off the current objective. "So what I'm saying is: If the Autobots can help out the police with things like catching common criminals and solving murders, then maybe we can-" he was suddenly silenced by Ladybug when she put a finger to his mouth.
"Listen," Ladybug whispered, pointing to an area of the building with moonlight pouring into it. Cat Noir listened closely. At first, he heard nothing until he heard movement... Human movement... "That sounds human..." The spotted heroine whispered as they looked over a corner to see something incredibly disturbing.
It was a guy around their age. However something felt off about him: He wore an open jacket with white highlights in certain areas., white sleeves, a black undershirt, and dark grey pants. Those weren't the most exciting things about this unusual "Akuma". The two most interesting aspects about this boy were his hat and eyes: the boy's eyes were glowing a faint cyan blue, showing that he was somehow Akumatized or at least enhanced in some form. His hat sported a strange sigil on it. It resembled Optimus Prime's head but was black and lifeless, located on the front of the hat. He just stood there, not moving, instead staring down at something...
Or rather, someone.
Ladybug and Cat Noir could only look in horror as they realized what lay at this person's feet: a police officer with their skull caved in, a pool of blood formed from the wound. To make matters worse, multiple bodies were scattered as if some great battle(or slaughter, in this case) had taken place here...
"My God..." Ladybug whispered as she witnessed the scene in front of her. "It's... it's... I need some air!" She began grabbing her head to process everything in front of her. Cat Noir took a few steps back only to suddenly trip on something. Landing on his rear, he realized he had tripped over a decapitated corpse, causing him to yelp.
The boy turned his head, finally noticing the duo who were in hiding. Turning his head, the "Akuma" revealed to the team that he was smiling like a psychotic killer.
Without warning, he suddenly charged at the duo, throwing a fist at them, only to miss when Ladybug and Cat Noir dodged, causing the "Villain" to hit the pillar they had been previously next to. The boy only turned his head and saw the two heroes in different locations before suddenly sporting that psychotic smile on his face again. Scanning the room, the boy decided to take on Ladybug first, jumping to her level and beginning to throw fists at her, each barely missing. He's fast! Ladybug thought as she dodged the fists. This guy isn't messing around! Thinking fast, she pulled out her yoyo and swung it, trying to create a shield between her and the "Akuma." The "Akuma" simply jumped over the Yoyo shield and punched the spotted hero, knocking her off balance. The boy simply chuckled before grabbing Ladybug and beginning to choke her. What the heck?! She thought as she tried to break free from his grip. Has Hawkmoth gone crazy?! Ladybug, always one for thinking on her feet, used said appendage to push herself away from the boy. Hawkmoth would have never allowed this to happen with one of his Akumas! She thought, Something's not right and I need to find out what! " Cat Noir!" she exclaimed, "Be careful, this Akuma's not your average kind!" The boy turned his attention toward Ladybug's voice and dashed towards her, catching her by surprise.
"M'lady!" Cat Noir exclaimed, "MOVE!" Looking toward where Cat Noir was, Ladybug saw what he was planning to do and quickly regained her balance before jumping away from the "Akuma" and letting Cat Noir go for the opening. The Akuma looked around for Ladybug until he suddenly saw Cat Noir throwing his staff toward the boy. Not having enough time to react, the boy could only stand there and take the hit. Unfortunately, Cat Noir had put too much force into throwing his staff and underestimated the enhancements given to him having a miraculous, piercing the boy's chest and pinning him to a wall, seemingly killing him.
Cat Noir ran toward his partner in heroics to see if she was alright. All he saw was a look of absolute horror on her face, "C-cat Noir..." Ladybug could only stutter, shocked by what she just witnessed. "You... k-killed him..."
"It was an accident, m'lady!" Cat Noir exclaimed, "If I hadn't interfered, he would have killed you!" He went up to the boy and grabbed the staff, only for the seemingly dead boy to suddenly grab Cat Noir's hands in a firm grip. "What the?!" he exclaimed, only to be quickly silenced by the boy with a quick head butt, causing the feline hero to stumble back a few steps as Ladybug caught him. "That's..." He whispered, looking at the sight before them.
"Impossible..." Ladybug finished, watching with horror as the "Akuma" grabbed Cat Noir's staff that had been impaled into his chest, and began to pull it out with little to no effort or any show of being in pain. The real shocker was what they saw after the "Akuma" finished pulling out the staff.
"W-we're fighting a robot?!" Cat Noir exclaimed as he and Ladybug saw the sparks and exposed circuitry coming from the hole in the boy's chest. The boy simply held a hand as if to feel the damage. To the duo's horror, the robot then smiled psychotically and began walking toward them in a very menacing manner. Cat Noir in a panic, grabbed one of the deceased officers' guns and began firing at the robot, which became useless as the android simply kept walking toward them with that haunting smile on its face. The android then slid toward them, swinging a fist at the duo and knocking the gun out of Cat Noir's hands. Before anyone could react, the robot did a spin kick, almost knocking the feline hero out with the foot hitting his chin.
"Ware wa Hakai-shindesu: Apex Bomber!" The robot proclaimed in perfect Japanese, "HAHAHA!"
"'I am the God of Destruction: Apex Bomber?'" Cat Noir translated, confusion present on his face. "Odd name for a robot, don't you think m'lady?" Ladybug shot him a look before looking back at Apex Bomber.
"At least we know what to call that thing," Ladybug stated with a look of determination, "Plus, since it's a robot, we don't have to hold back!" Ladybug grunted as she pulled out her yoyo, yelling "Lucky Charm!" A red and black spotted cylinder quickly appeared and fell into her hands, causing Ladybug to be confused for a moment before it suddenly ignited, revealing a blue energy blade, and cementing the object's identity as a beam saber. Realizing what was going on, Apex pulled out two cylinders and ignited them, also revealing a pair of beam sabers.
Apex then ran towards the duo with its beams sabers in hand, before jumping and doing a twirl with them, and clashing blades with the spotted heroine.
Ladybug barely dodged the next slash at her, barely cutting off some bangs covering her forehead. Backing away, Cat Noir grabbed her in an attempt to prevent her from falling on her back. You okay, m'lady?" The feline hero inquired.
The spotted heroine sighed, "I'll live," she replied, "It just gave me a simple trim. I don't mind," she dodged another strike and parried a beam saber, knocking it out of Apex's grip. Cat Noir grabbed the beam saber and then used his cataclysm on it, disintegrating it within seconds.
"I guess you could say that it was a close shave!" Cat Noir joked, trying his best to light up the situation. Ladybug glared at her partner, but before she could say anything, Apex dashed toward them, causing Ladybug to swing the beam saber wildly as if hoping to hit their opponent. A hope that seemed to work at first, as Apex Bomber jumped back a couple of feet. Taking advantage, Ladybug and Cat Noir immediately ran towards Apex and began to counterattack, thinking they finally had the advantage. The android suddenly pulled out a long pipe and slashed at Ladybug, who kept blocking it with her slightly above-average swordsman skills. "He's fast!" Cat Noir exclaimed, using his staff to knock Apex Bomber off balance seemingly. A futile effort, as Apex Bomber grabbed Cat Noir by the tail and threw him into the ground multiple times, knocking him out within seconds.
"It's like it's toying with us!" Ladybug commented as Apex Bomber dashed toward her and socked her stomach. Thinking fast, She swung the beam saber at Apex Bomber again, only this time, she aimed at a specific area of the android's body. If I remember correctly, She thought as she continued slashing. That thing should have a power source located in its chest. Without hesitation, she put the beam saber at a certain angle like she saw Elita-1 do, only to be horrified when she realized that she couldn't because it was made specifically for people like Elita. A lesson Ladybug learned the hard way when she tried to imitate Izanagi-1 stance and suddenly her beam saber shut off immediately. This allowed Apex Bomber to suddenly give her a very well-placed uppercut on her chin before grabbing her by the arm and then slamming her into the ground, a sickening crunch being heard from her dominant arm. The android then began to chuckle evilly as it suddenly began to slowly make its way towards Ladybug, all the while with a look of pure terror on her face.
For the first time in her entire career, Ladybug realized that she was out of her league and that she and Cat Noir were both, as Elita-1 would say, "Fragged."
Fragged indeed.
The next few minutes were nothing short of a beatdown, and that beating was delivered to Ladybug by the android Apex Bomber. It's so strong! She could barely think due to the brutal loss she had been enduring from this mechanical imitation of a human. This... thing... this robotic abomination had successfully gotten the upper hand on her and was rubbing it in her face.
Apex threw Ladybug across the room with her barely mustering up the will to get up, an action that was quickly stopped when the android got on her back and grabbed her by the face and right arm, pulling as hard as it could, killing intent showing on its face. Apex kept chuckling to itself before cackling with malicious laughter.
Suddenly, Apex Bomber stopped laughing, getting off of Ladybug and grabbing his head while screaming in pain. What? Ladybug thought as she weakly turned her head toward the android, seeing it in a lot of pain from the sigil on its hat faintly glowing. Thinking fast, Ladybug could only yell as she mustered the last of her remaining strength, hitting Apex Bomber in the head, destroying the sigil on his hat, and presumably deactivating the robot once and for all. Her earrings had been beeping for a little bit, something she had forgotten about. "Mir-..." she moaned as she held onto the beam saber, "Miraculous... Ladybug..." She weakly threw the beam saber up, expecting the cure to fix everything like it always did. She then collapsed and was about to pass out when she felt someone grab her.
"Let's... go..." He could barely say, pain instilled into his very being. "I'll drop you off in... the... alley behind the Dupain-Cheng bakery..."
Officer Raincomprix was talking to Officer Isaac as they waited for the duo to return. He then saw two people emerging from the building. "Look," Isaac exclaimed pointing at the silhouettes, "It's Ladybug and Cat Noir!"
Officer Raincomprix sighed and shook his head, "When you're right, you're- huh?!" The duo certainly looked for worse. Ladybug's right arm appeared to be broken in multiple places, no doubt due to the intense fight she and Cat Noir had just fought. Speaking of Cat Noir, he looked no better himself, with half of his face covered in blood and having a limp on his left leg.
"Get any survivors you find medical attention immediately..." Ladybug grunted as she and her partner limped away from the fight of their lives, "And for the love of God, somebody call a robotics expert, I want that thing studied from top to bottom!"
Too shocked to comprehend what they just saw, Officer Raincomprix asked the first thing that came to mind, "Are you two okay?"
Ladybug shoved the officer out of the way, clearly annoyed with him. "What do you think?" she could barely growl as Cat Noir escorted her to safety.
The fight between Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Apex Bomber. You might be somewhat confused by how Ladybug and Cat Noir reacted to the bodies. I did this to illustrate another point as well: Orion, Ariel, and Dion while by no means experienced veterans in terms of body gore, are somewhat used to what they see because their duties as Autobots sometimes require them to get their hands dirty or witness unpleasant sights, as some Decepticons might not be willing to retreat to Cybertron or even be captured by humans, preferring instead to end themselves before admitting defeat. Ladybug and Cat Noir, on the other hand, aren't exactly used to this kind of thing,(seeing gore and dead people) as fighting things that aren't Akumatized villains or other Miraculous Users isn't exactly their forte. Hence, why they were easily overwhelmed by the android. What most people forget is that while previous Miraculous users have seen their fair share of body horror, Ladybug and Cat Noir have not because they lived in a more secure and sheltered environment. Basically, it's Smash Bros meets Mortal Kombat…
Will the Android return? Yes, but not in the way you'd think...
The Miraculous Duo and Autobots must team up with a new ally when a new threat emerges in the form of an Akumacon. Wait, who's this strange old man and how does he know who the Autobots really are? Next time on Miraculous: Power of the Primes: SOS Dinobots!
Autobots, Transform, and Roll Out!
Aztec 13: This was a great chapter with the introduction of Blackarachnia I like the retelling of the Animated episode along with the Orion flashbacks with Bianca aka Blackarachnia and Mark who I have a feeling might become Sentinel Prime, I'm wondering if Orion and Bianca's relationship will be like Batman and Talia al Ghuls relationship?
I have been thinking about something it's about the girl Chloe. I know she becomes a Miraculous user which was cool having her become a good person only for her power to be taken and given to her sister then have her character arc be assassinated, so what I'm asking is if there is any way in a story that can be avoided like instead of Chloe becoming a Miraculous user she joins the Autobots like she becomes the Autobot Moonracer or Firestar?
Please continue.
MVMZ-710 Star Convoy: I am glad you liked this chapter. Regarding what you said about Mark becoming Sentinel Prime, that is not the case here. Sentinel Prime already existed before Orion's time having died back in 1989 as seen in the Prologue.
Orion and Bianca will not have a Batman and Talia relationship but rather a relationship similar to Batman and Catwoman. Orion does have some leftover feelings for Bianca, but it's feelings that make him want to help her. He doesn't want a romance with Bianca, he wants to earn her trust back. Bianca, on the other hand, also has some feelings for Orion as well. However, like Orion, she does not see him as a romantic partner. If anything, she's somewhat bitter toward Orion because she wrongfully believes that Orion had simply replaced her and Mark like they were nothing. Mark will show up later in the story.
As for Chloe, I do have a plan for her regarding the Miraculous and Autobots. She will become a Miraculous User like she did in canon but she will not become Miracle Queen in the episode "Miracle Queen". It will be somebody else, and that somebody is [redacted].
I will continue.
