Chapter 2: Stormy Weather
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter of Miraculous: Tales of Silver Claw. Between this and Nobody of Ever After High the lengths between update periods won't be as frequent as that one, but hopefully you can be a little patient. Please review and enjoy.
It was a bright sunny day in Paris as a local competition was being broadcasted.
"Welcome to the finals of our Kidz Plus competition where today we will announce our new Kidz Plus Weather Girl." The announcer said as a limo pulled up with two girls.
One had blonde hair in a ponytail and a blue parasol, the other girl had dark blue hair.
"We started off with over 5,000 contestants and thanks to our audience at home we are down to these two fantastic ladies." The announcer points to the blonde girl on the right. "To my right, Aurore Beaureal!" He then points to the girl on the left. "And to my left, Mireille Caquet! Who will be our lucky winner? Text one for Aurore and two for Mireille." The announcer said as the screen moves backwards to reveal the whole thing was a video on a phone.
In the park was Sam Noctics who was watching the broadcast live with his Kwami Faang watching from his jacket pocket.
"You know your mother told you to go to the park, so you would be off the electronics." Faang said.
"Oh, stop talking and eat your jerky Faang besides it's been a whole week since I first got into this whole hero business. I'm just trying to relax." Sam said.
"To much slacking off can lead to sloppiness." Faang said going back into his pocket.
Sam rolls his eyes. "Thanks for the tip.
He looks around the park and spots a photographer setting up for what looks like a photo shoot.
"Hmm I wonder what's going on?" Sam asks getting up and walking towards it.
Getting closer Sam notices his friend from school Adrien sitting nearby. "Adrien?" Sam asks.
Adrien looks over and waves. "Hey Sam, what's going on?"
"Nothing much just getting some fresh air, what's going on here?" Sam asks pointing.
"My dad is having me do another photo shoot for him." Adrien said.
"Wow never in my life did I think I would be friends with a model." Sam chuckles.
"Hey maybe we can hang out after this, it'd be nice to have something to do after these things." Adrien suggests.
"Sure, thing buddy I'll just be nearby watching my friend become the envy of every guy in Paris." Sam said resulting in him and Adrien bursting into laughter.
As Adrien does his photo shoot Sam sits back down on the bench to see the results for the weather girl contest.
As the countdown clock starts the Announcer appears on screen.
"This is the moment you've been waiting for! The viewers have made their decision. And the new Kidz Plus Weathergirl is Mireille!"
The crowd erupts in cheers as the results show Mireille winning by a landslide.
"Man, she crushed you, better luck next time." The announcer said to Aurore as she storms out in anger.
"Hmm shame, I thought Aurore had a better chance." Sam said turning off his phone.
In an unknown location a window opens and dozens of white butterflies fly around, in the center of all of it was Hawkmoth.
"The vibrations are so strong I can feel the imminent anger and sadness, the moment of weakness in my next victim, such easy prey for my Akuma." Hawkmoth infects the
butterfly with darkness before releasing it to infect his new victim.
At the station Aurore was getting into the elevator furious about the results.
"I should have won. I had the talent, the star looks everything! But she took it away from me. They took everything away from me!" Aurore said when the elevator comes to
a sudden stop startling her.
She looks around to find the cause and sees the Akuma sliding in through the crack in the elevator door. Aurore tries to swat it away with her parasol, but the Akuma goes
into it infecting Aurore.
"So correct. You should have won, yes. Stormy Weather I am Hawk Moth. I give you the power to see revenge on them as my weathergirl. All you have to do is bring me the
Miraculous. Can you do that?" Hawk Moth asks.
"Yes." Aurore said as she transforms.
Back in the park Sam was watching the photo shoot when he notices three people in the trees behind Adrien. It was Marinette, Alya, and a little girl.
As the photographer took pictures Alya and the girl were walking normally while Marinette was doing this weird walking as if she is hiding something and doing a bad job at
hiding it.
When Adrien spots them he waves to them and Marinette freaks out.
"Come on girl let's go." Alya pulls Marinette to the side when she spots Sam sitting down right in front of them. Both of them were a little nervous ever since that moment at
the hat contest, but they tried to act like it was an accident.
"Hey Sam, what are you doing here?" Alya asks.
"Well I came here to relax and then Adrien had his photo shoot and asked if I wanted to hang out after it." Sam said before looking at the little girl. "And who is this little
cutie?" Sam smiles.
The little girl giggles. "I'm Manon."
"Marinette's babysitting her, and I thought I would help out." Alya whispers for Sam to lean in. "Between you and me Marinette likes Adrien, that's why we're here."
"Is that why whenever he talks to her she goes uh eh blech." Sam said mimicking Marinette's actions causing Alya to giggle.
"You nailed it." Alya smiles.
As they watched the photo shoot Marinette's mouth would drop in awe at the sight of Adrien.
Manon bored of watching it looks around to see a man giving away balloons with Mireille's face on them.
"Marinette! I want a balloon with Mireille on it. Marinette? Marinette!" Manon said snapping her out of her trance and angering the photographer.
"Silencio!" He said in anger.
"Come one let's go." Manon said pulling her.
"Hey, I'll take you to get that balloon." Alya said, but Manon clings to Marinette's leg.
"No, I want Marinette." She said.
"I'll do it I am her babysitter." Marinette said walking away leaving Alya alone with Sam.
Both of them look at each other before looking away nervously.
"So, what do you want to do?" Sam asks.
"Uh we can find a place to sit down and wait for the photo shoot to end." She suggests.
"Works for me." Sam said as they walk over to some trees and sit down.
"You know aside from that you transferred to our school I don't really know much about you." Alya said.
"Well what do you want to know?" Sam asks.
"Just tell me a little bit about yourself." Alya said.
"Okay let's see. Well my parents are the Executives of the Computer company Nova and they had a branch built up here in Paris which is why we moved. They taught me a
little bit about computers too." Sam said.
"Wow you think you can help me with my Ladyblog website I could use someone to help me manage it?" Alya asks.
"I'd be happy too. So what about you?" Sam asks.
"Well I have two little sisters who are quite the handful and my mom is the Executive Chef at the best hotel in Paris so that's pretty awesome." Alya said.
"Oh man you must get the best home cooking." Sam said envious.
"Sometimes it surehas its perks, but if you want good food, you should check out Marinette's family bakery they make the best treats in all of Paris." Alya said.
"Sweet, I'll have to check it out sometime." Sam said.
Alya and Sam look over to see Manon pulling Marinette towards the Merry Go Round.
"Aw she's taken her on a ride, Marinette's pretty good with kids." Sam said.
"Yeah she is though I think that one has Marinette in the palm of her hands." Alya said.
With the photo shoot Adrien was starting to get tired and lose enthusiasm.
"No, no. Ze boy has eaten too much spaghetti. We needz more energy… more romance. We needz a girl." The photographer looks to see Alya and runs over to her. "Miss I
need an extra."
"Who me?" She said surprised.
"Si, to pose with Mr. Adiren." The Photographer said and big smile appears on Alya's face.
"No way you don't want me I I think I'm having an allergic reaction." Alya said hinting to Sam to help her out.
"Uh yeah in fact we know the perfect person to help out, be right back." Sam said pretending to guide Alya away before she ran to the Merry Go Round.
"They need an extra to pose with Adrien." Alya said to Marinette.
"What? Really?" Marinette said happily.
"Is that boy your boyfriend?" Manon asks.
"What? No I mean yes..No." Marinette said.
"Go on what are you waiting for?" Alya asks.
"But what about Manon?" Marinette asks until Alya scoots Marinette out of the way and sits on the Unicorn from the Merry Go Round with Manon.
"I got this you deal with Prince Charming, I'll handle Miss Unicorn." Alya said.
"No! Marinette is my babysitter." Manon said.
Alya clears her throat. "Unicorn Unite! To Reespa where we can save all the sick little village kids!" Alya announces like they were in a Fairy Tail land causing Manon to cheer.
As the ride starts Manon looks to Alya. "Excuse me miss."
"Yes?" Alya asks.
"When you were talking about Prince Charmings was that guy you were with yours?" Manon asks pointing to Sam who was waving at them.
"What? N-No I mean that's not something a little girl should ask." Alya said blushing bright red.
As Marinette runs to the photo shoot she stops when she hears the sound of screaming. She looks up to see a girl with purple and white hair, a purple outfit, white gloves and
a black parasol. With one swing of her parasol a gust of wind blows everyone away while covering the entire Merry Go Round in ice trapping Alya and Manon inside.
In the chaos Marinette runs, jumping over a bench. "Time to transform! Tikki Spots On!" Marinette said as she transforms into Ladybug.
Sam seeing Stormy Weather blast lightning bolts from her parasol runs for cover. "Alright Faang battle time! Faang Teeth Out!" Sam yells as Faang transforms him into Sliver
Claw.
Adrien seeing her runs to his back to get his Kwami. "Plagg? Plagg!" He said looking for the missing Kwami.
"I'm not here I'm sleeping." A voice said.
Adrien holds up a piece of Camembert and a small black kwami shaped like a cat comes out. "For your information I can smell camembert even when I sleep." He said.
"No time for cheese. Plagg Claws out!" Adrien said as Plagg goes into his ring transforming him into Cat Noir.
Silver Claw runs towards the ice with his sword at the ready. He approaches it to see Ladybug talking to Alya and Manon.
"Look it's a doggy!" Manon said pointing to Sliver Claw.
Ladybug turns to see him running and smiles. "Silver Claw think you get them out?" She asks.
"Leave it to me!" Silver Claw charges to the ice with his sword and strikes, but the ice still stands. "Wow that's some strong ice." He said.
"Looks like Hawk Moth released another Akuma and the only way to get rid of the ice is to capture it." Ladybug said.
"Well it's no mystery who that is, let's move." Silver Claw said as they left the park.
Just outside the entrance Stormy Weather was scaring everyone away with her lighting.
"Hey Ice Queen!" She looks up to see Cat Noir on the fence nearby. "Why don't you pick on someone your own temperature?"
"My name is not Ice Queen, it's Stormy Weather!" She said in anger.
"Listen, I'm feline more generous than usual today. So cool down, and we'll call it quits. K?" Cat Noir asks.
Her response is a powerful gust of win sending Cat Noir flying into the city and smashing into some cars like a game of pinball.
"I thought cats always landed on their feet." Ladybug said helping him up as Silver Claw lands next to him.
"Why thanks M'Ladybug, but I had it covered." Cat Noir said trying to kiss her hand, but Ladbug stops him.
"No time for your childish charm Cat Noir, but you're welcome." Ladybug said.
"Can you save the lovely dovey stuff for later." Silver Claw chuckles as Stormy Weather drops down in front of them.
"We should be expecting lightning storms, like right now!" Stormy Weather holds her parasol up and lighting shoots out from the top.
"Incoming!" Silver Claw yells as he jumps out of the way while Ladybug tackles Cat Noir out of the way.
"You just won yourself a cat fight!" Cat Noir charges towards Stormy Weather.
"Black Ice! Stormy Weather turns the ground to ice causing Cat Noir to slip before she blows a powerful gust of wind sending him flying back along with a few cars.
Silver Claw slams his sword into the ground and hangs onto it for dear life in order to not be blown away while Ladybug uses her Yoyo to loop around and grabbed Cat Noir as
he was flying backwards.
Stormy Weather makes her way through the streets of Paris floating right past the super heroes. When she sees a TV screen with Mireille on it she blasts a giant hole through it.
The three of them recover from the wind and turn to face her.
"A little Cat Noir will knock the wind out of her sails." Cat Noir said preparing to charge when Ladybug grabs his tail.
"Whoa Kitty kitty think before you leap." Ladybug said.
"I assume you have a plan?" Silver Claw said.
"Just follow my lead boys." She said before running up the side of the buildings. Seeing her plan Cat Noir ran up the other side while Silver Claw ran straight for Stormy
Weather.
Hearing them Stormy Weather turns to see the three of them attacking. "You again!" She blows her parasol creating a gust of wind knocking the three of them backwards
along with multiple cars.
The three of them struggle as they avoid the falling cars. Just when they think they're safe their eyes widen to see Stormy Weather launched a bus at them.
"Oh no you don't!" Silver Claw jumps into the air and slices the bus in half with his sword before it hits them.
"Whoo quick thinking back there." Ladybug said.
"Thanks, though man compared this girl has some anger issues if she chucks an entire bus at us." Silver Claw said.
"Maybe she didn't pass her driving test." Cat Noir said as they made their way through the streets looking for her when a TV screen turns on revealing Stormy Weather.
"Hello viewers!" She said startling them. "Here's the latest forecast for this first day of summer. Looks like mother nature had a change in plans. Summer vacation is officially
over!" She declared.
"Already, but I look so good in a swim suit." Cat Noir said causing Ladybug and Silver Claw to stare at him while Cat Noir just gives them a grin.
"I think the cat suit do, thanks. At least we know where to find her." Ladybug said.
As Stormy Weather continued her broadcast the three heroes enter the TV tower to find a life size cut out of Aurore by the screen of Stormy Weather.
"Hey she looks familiar." Cat Noir said.
"Of course, she lost the weather girl contest today and all that anger must've turned her into an Akuma." Silver Claw said.
"The Akuma must be in her Parasol." Ladybug said.
"In Stormy Weather's world, it's Winter Wonderland forever!" She said as they kicked down the door only to find no one there.
"What the where is she?" Silver Claw asks looking around.
"It's a recording." Ladybug said looking at the TV in the middle of the room.
The three of them hear laughter and see the real Stormy Weather behind them. She fires a lightning bolt at the lights shutting off all the power.
Silver Claw's eyes glow golden as he and Cat Noir see Stormy Weather making a getaway.
"Cat Noir she's getting away!" He said as Ladybug trips over the light.
"Is that a damsel in distress?" Cat Noir asks helping her up.
"Not all of us have Night Vision." Ladybug said as Cat Noir grabs her hand and pulls her so the three of them could chase after Stormy Weather.
They chase her up the staircase to the roof top where she was waiting for them.
"You, airheads fell right into my trap!" Stormy Weather said as a tornado forms around the roof of the building trapping them inside. "There's no way out! Party's over fools."
"We're..." Ladybug looks to see Cat Noir was still holding her hand.
"Not the time dude." Silver Claw sighs.
"We're just getting started Stormy! Lucky Charm!" Ladybug throws her yoyo into the air to create the lucky charm and from it a bath towel appears.
"A bath towel what am I supposed to do with this?" Ladybug asks.
"Great we're about to be obliterated, but at least we'll be dry." Cat Noir said.
"Hail!" Stormy Weather yells as a flurry of hail falls towards them.
"Moon Call!" Silver Claw said before releasing a sonic howl keeping the hail away from them.
"So, what's the plan? Wolfy can only howl for so long?" Cat Noir asks as Ladybug surveys the area.
"See that sign over there? Check it out. Silver Claw be ready to intercept." Ladybug said just as the howling stops.
"Right." Silver Claw said ready for the plan.
"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir said his right hand glowing black. "Hey Coldilocks! Is that all you got?" Cat Noir charges forward, lighting raining down trying to hit him. When he
reaches the giant sign he runs his hand along it turning the support beams to rust.
The sign falls towards Stormy Weather. When she sees it she fires a lightning bolt through it creating a hole for her to fly through, unaware of Ladybug's Yoyo wrapping
around her leg.
The sign falls knocking over a pipe revealing a wind fan, running towards it Ladybug uses the bath towel like a parachute and the wind lifts her into the air while pulling Stormy Weather down. As she falls Silver Claw snatches the parasol from her hands.
"Thank you!" Silver Claw said before throwing it to Ladybug.
"Get out of there you nasty bug." Ladybug said snapping the parasol in half causing the Akuma to fly out. "No more evil-doing for you little Akuma. Time to de-evilize!"
Ladybug said catching the Akuma in her yoyo and turning it into a butterfly. "Bye bye little butterfly. Miraculous Lady bug!" She throws the bath towel into the air as all the damage to Paris goes back to normal even the weather went back to sunny.
As Aurore returns to normal she has no idea what happened. "How did I get here?" She asks looking around.
"Pound it." The three heroes said fist bumping.
"Someday your Miraculous will all be mine. I don't care how many enemies I have to throw at you to win, but I will be victorious!" Hawk Moth vowed in anger.
Back at the park Sam returns to see Alya and Manon free from the ice.
"Well at least they're safe." Sam smiles.
"You're getting better Sam you saved the day and fought well." Faang said popping out his jacket.
"Thanks, Faang between me, Ladybug, and Cat Noir we make a pretty good team. Though man Cat Noir really needs to take the flirting down a notch." Sam said when
Marinette, Alya and Manon walk over.
"Sam thank goodness you're okay." Marinette said.
"Yeah lucky I managed to get away before that ice queen froze me." Sam said.
"Lucky you I ended up getting trapped in that Merry Go Round." Alya said.
Sam looks over to see Adrien's photo shoot was still going on.
"Wow even after all that they decide to come back here." Sam said impressed.
"Ready for your big chance?" Alya asks and Marinette nods.
"Manon you stay here with Alya and Sam." Marinette said running over to the photographer. "I'm here." She said.
"Wait! Who is that angel?" The Photographer asks pointing at Manon.
In the end Manon became Adrien's partner in the photo shoot and Marinette was bummed out she missed her chance with Adrien.
"Hey, don't worry Marinette maybe next time." Alya said patting her shoulder reassuringly.
"Next time, just be sure you're not babysitting." Sam chuckles as they watch the photo shoot.
