Chapter 4: Pharaoh
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. I decided to skip Copy Cat since it was mainly a Ladybug and Cat Noir episode but I hope you enjoy this next one. I plan to do my own OC chapter in the future to make up for that though so in the meantime please review and enjoy.
It was a relaxing weekend and Sam was relaxing in his room. "So Faang anything you want to do today?" Sam asks.
"After what we've been through a break doesn't sound too bad." Faang nods.
Sam lays down and bring sup his laptop. "Let's see what's going on the Ladyblog." Ash said bringing up Alya's newest video.
"Hey peeps Alya here bringing you the one and only Ladyblog. Huh what's that?" Alya looks up towards the sky a helicopter flying through the sky and Ladybug was apparently hitching ride with her yoyo tied around it. As she flies by something falls from Ladybug and lands in front of Alya.
"Ladybug in action. Hang on, we're going for a ride." Alya said going to pick the book up and gasps. "Freak out. This is not ordinary book it's a 10th grade History textbook and I should know because I have the very same textbook. Could Ladybug be a high school student it real life?" Alya asks.
"Whoa Ladybug in my class? What if she and Cat Noir are really my classmates?" Sam asks.
"Let this be a warning Sam always make sure to cover your tracks when out on a mission." Faang said.
"Oh man Alya is probably going to be clinging to that book like its her life line." Sam said.
"Sam nobody can find out the identity of you, Ladybug, or Cat Noir we must get that book away from her and back to Ladybug." Faang said.
"How am I supposed to do that?" Sam asks.
"Don't you humans have a name for when a male asks to spend time with female?" Faang asks.
"You mean a date?" Sam asks not sure.
"Exactly ask that female on a date." Faang said causing Sam to turn bright red.
"What?! Why would I do that?" Sam said.
"Sam you face evil Akumas, but you can't talk to a girl?" Faang asks.
"I think it would be easier to ask the Akumas." Sam said.
"Sam." Faang said.
"Fine I'll see what I can do." Sam reaches for his phone. "Oh, I really don't want to do this."
"Hello?" Alya said pikcing up.
"Oh, hey Alya it's me Sam um I was calling to ask if maybe you wanted to hang out and uh I don't know go somewhere." He said nervously.
"Sure, Marinette and I are going to Egyptian exhibit with Marinette she says she has a big scoop for the Ladyblog, I could really use some help." Alya said.
"Wait what?" Sam said confused.
"You're an IT guy I might need some help." Alya said.
"Okay where the exhibit?" Sam asks.
"At the Louvre meet us there in an hour." Alya said hanging up.
"Well?" Faang asks.
"She and Marinette are going to the Louvre for a scoop on Ladybug." Sam said.
"Then we go and get that book back." Faang said and Sam nods understanding.
At the Louvre Sam was waiting around the entrance when Alya and Marinette walk over to him.
"Sam I am so glad you are here." Alya said.
"Yeah I saw your latest entry." Sam said.
"Can you believe? I am this close to figuring out who Ladybug is." Alya smiles.
"How do you plan to find out when she's using a book every high school student use?" Marinette asks.
"Nope because I looked only our school uses that book. I just need to figure out who lost their book last week. There are 43 girls in our class not including myself." Alya said.
"Wow you really have done your research." Sam said.
"Yep and once I figure out Ladybug finding out Cat Noir and Silver Claw will be a snap." Alya said.
"Uh don't you mean 42 not counting you or me." Marinette said.
Alya looks to Marinette. "I don't know someone didn't being their book to class last week."
"What but you know I always forget my stuff." Marinette panics.
Alya looks at Marinetee before nudging her. "I'm just messing with you. I'll drop you from my list only after you bring your book to class." Alya said as they enter the exhibit.
Walking through it a teenager with brown hair and glasses run past them bumping into Alya before he fell to the floor. Alya falls backwards only to be caught by Sam.
Alya blushes softly. "Uh thanks Sam."
"N-No problem." Sam said blushing.
"Oh thank goodness it's safe." He said looking at an object.
"Uh I'm ok too." Alya said offended.
"Sorry, hey you three are in the same class as Alix, right? I'm her older brother, Jalil. So, are you into King Tut as well?" He then spots his father and runs to him.
"What is with that guy?" Sam asks.
"Beats me. So Marinette you said there was something here that had to do with Ladybug." Alya asks looking in.
"Uh yeah it's over there." Marinette bring Alya to a tapestry.
"Is that even possible?" Sam asks.
"Look for yourself Sam it's possible." Faang said.
As they looked at the hieroglyphics Jalil and his father walk up behind them.
"You see father it's all in front of you is Tutankhamen the first and his wife Nefertiti, between them is 100 mummies, she died several years before him and the Sun God Ra took her as his Goddess." Jalil said.
"Yes, I know all that. I'm the director of this exhibition after all." His dad said.
"Then you should know Tutankhamen wanted to bring her back to life, so he offered a new wife to the Sun God as a sacrifice. Nobody has ever deciphered the ritual, but I have deciphered it I'm sure of it." Jalil said.
"Sounds like someone else with crazy ideas. You." Marinette said pointing at Alya.
"You just watch my Ladybug theories are spot on, you'll see." Alya smiles.
"Still gotta give the guy credit those make no sense." Sam said.
"Jalil frescoes like these are often illustrations of legends and those aren't true." Jalil's father said walking away.
"But it is real and I can prove it." Jalil said.
"And how do you plan to prove that?" He asks.
"I just need Tutankhamen's scepter and I can recite the spell." Jalil said reaching for the scepter only to be stopped.
"Are you nuts? I'd lose my job on the spot. It's a priceless artifact, not a toy."
"But father what if King Tut figured out how to bring his wife back?" Jalil asks.
"Jalil get your head out of these scrolls and focus on the real world, this one." His father said before storming off.
Dropping all his papers in shock Jalil frowns at the thought of his father hating his theory.
At his unknown location Hawk Moth saw what just happened. "There's nothing wrong with living out a fantasy, especially when I can make it a reality." Hawk Moth said turning a butterfly into an Akuma. "Fly my little Akuma and transform that young man." He said as the Akuma flies out the window.
Outside the Louvre Jalil was sitting by the fountain when the Akuma flies into his scarab necklace. "Pharaoh I am Hawk Moth. I have an endowed you with the power of the ancient gods, but you must do me a favor in return for this gift."
"My precious Nefertiti will come back to life." Jalil said as he transforms.
Back in the exhibit Sam and Faang were slowly sneaking towards Alya when she was distracted.
"This thing is hurting my eyes." Alya groans as Marinette tries to find a clue. Alya turns to the book and Sam quickly pulls his hand back and yawns. "Let me guess Marinette is boring you too?" She asks.
"I stopped listening 10 minutes ago." Sam admits.
"Things would definitely be a lot more interesting if I just left to hang out with you." She giggles causing him to blush.
"Hey!" A man yells as a large figure with clothes resembling an Egyptian with a golden mask on his head approaches the exhibit.
"Tut, give me time!" He yells as his mask changes to another form. He releases balls of light trapping people in orbs. "Move faster!" He moves his arms sending them all out of the exhibit.
Sam and Marinette duck for cover while Alya takes out her phone to record the action.
Running to their hiding spots, Tikki pops out.
"We have to transform. Tikki Spots on!" Marinette said as Tikki goes inside her earrings transforming Marinette into Ladybug.
At his spot Sam watches Pharaoh head towards the scepter. "Why do things never go easy for me?" Sam asks.
"It's the superhero luck." Faang said popping out.
"Alright let's knock this Egyptian off his throne. Faang Teeth out!" Sam yells as Faang goes into his bracelet turning him into Silver Claw.
Alya watches the Pharaoh take the scepter. O.M.G I am actually at the scene before Ladybug, Cat Noir, or Silver Claw. This is insane." Alya whispers as she records it all.
As Pharaoh moves to the scroll and takes it the alarm goes off bringing down a cage, but Ladybug enters just in the nick of time.
"You know that's called stealing." Ladybug smirks.
"It's not if it rightfully belongs to me." Pharaoh said.
"Maybe if you were the real Pharaoh which you're not." Ladybug said getting in position.
"Whoa Ladybug in action, awesome." Alya said when Ladybugs waves for her to get away. "Ladybug waved at me so cool."
Ladybug throws her Yoyo at Pharoah but he catches it with ease and spins her around throwing Ladybug into the stone wall.
"Sekhmet, give me your strength!" Pharaoh yells as a lion's face appears on his mask which gives him the strength to bend the bars only to see Cat Noir and Silver Claw on the other side.
"You know it's so nice to see someone with such good manners." Cat Noir said.
"I know we should reward him." Silver Claw said.
"How about we send him back to his tomb in style?" Cat Noir grins.
"You read my mind." Silver Claw said as he and Cat Noir charged. Cat Noir jumps in the air swinging his staff, but Pharaoh grabs him and throws him into the Sarcophagus. Seeing what he thought was an opening Silver Claw charges in with his sword only to have Pharaoh sidestep and knock him backwards with a powerful punch.
As Ladybug and Silver Claw try to get Cat Noir out of the coffin Alya records everything, but when she's distracted Pharaoh walks up behind her. "Uh hi." She said terrified.
"Fate has placed you on my path, come with me!" Pharaoh said grabbing her.
"Hey hands off the threads! I can walk myself." Alya struggles as Pharoah carries her out.
"Seriously?" Ladybug groans.
"As if our job isn't hard enough!" Silver Claw yells finally lifting the lid open letting Cat Noir out.
The three heroes ready their weapons and charge. "Let her go!" Silver Claw yells.
"Hiding behind an innocent bystander. That's weak Phaorah." Cat Noir said.
"I'm way more powerful than you." Phaorah said bending the bars back into place.
"And don't forget to check out the latest behind the scenes clips of my blog." Alya winks at them.
"That Alya is one brave chick." Cat Noir said.
"If by brave you mean bossy, feisty and bold then yes she is." Ladybug points out.
"Still she is quite amazing." Silver Claw said.
"Alright you two time to bust out of here." Ladybug said.
"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir's hand glowed black as he destroyed the bars with ease. "So how do we find her?"
"Alya has a live stream on her blog." Ladybug said as she brings up Alya talking as Pharaoh was carrying her outside.
"Got to give the girl credit she's committed to this." Silver Claw said when Cat Noir's ring blinks.
"You two go ahead I need to recharge." Cat Noir said.
"Hurry up it's going to take all three of us to beat this one." Ladybug said as she and Silver Claw ran ahead.
As they reached the lobby Ladybug looked down at the live stream. "Ladybug help it turns out I'm going to be this guy's sacrifice to the Sun God." Alya said in a panicked tone.
"Hang on Alya!" Ladybug runs forward and without realizing it into one of Pharaohs time bubbles.
"Whoa!" Silver Claw takes out his sword and destroys the bubble freeing her.
"What would I do without you boys?" Ladybug smiles.
"You'd be in serious trouble milady." Cat Noir said running towards them.
"Come you guys we have to find that Akuma before he sacrifices her." Ladybug said as they ran up the staircase to see an army of mummies by the entrance. "I don't see Pharaoh or Alya."
"Let's get to the roof we'll have a better view from there." Silver Claw said.
They reach the top to see Pharaoh had turned the civilians into Mummies and were using them to create the Ankh which is the Egyptian symbol for life and at the center was Pharaoh preparing to sacrifice Alya.
As she struggles to escape Alya notices a symbol of a woman with black spots on the papyrus. "Hey who's that?" She asks.
Pharaoh looks at the symbol. "Ladybug my sworn enemy. My nemesis may have kept me from completing the ritual 5,000 years ago, but she will not stop Nefertiti from coming back this time."
"Hold up Ladybug 5,000 years ago?" Alya said shocked.
"Everyone does have a past they can learn from." Ladybug said surprised.
"Well you don't look a day over 3,000." Cat Noir said.
"Now you boys know why I'm so much wiser than you." She smiles.
"Ha ha ha history lesson is over, what do we do?" Silver Claw asks.
"O sacred Ra, God of the Sun. I, Pharaoh offer to thee a pure soul. This sacrifice for the return of Nefertiti I bow to you and present this gift with my mummies. We pray to you the safe return of Princess Nefertiti. Awaken, Nefertiti! Awaken!" Pharaoh chants as a beam of light shoots into the air.
"Ladybug help!" Alya yells as the mummies carry her towards the light.
"If we don't stop the ritual Alya will be gone, forever." Ladybug said.
"What do we do?" Cat Noir asks.
"Cat Noir you deal with the mummies, Silver Claw you get Alya and I'll deal with Pharaoh." Ladybug said.
"Why do we have to do all the hard stuff?" Cat Noir asks.
"I'm the only one that can capture his Akuma remember, besides you boys are the brave ones." Ladybug said jumping down.
"I doubt she meant it, but I'll pretend she did." Cat Noir said.
"No one ever said this Superhero thing was easy." Silver Claw sighed.
"Awaken Nefertiti! Awaken!" The Mummies said carrying Alya to the light when Cat Noir jumps down onto a lamp post.
"How about we wrap this up?" Cat Noir asks.
"Cat Noir!" Alya said with joy.
"Seize him!" Pharaoh orders as most of the mummies chase after. "Wait a minute this seems like a trap!" He turns to see Silver Claw dashing towards Alya.
"Out of the way!" Silver Claw jumps and grabs Alya taking her to the roof.
"Horus give me your wings!" Phaorah yells as his mask changes to resemble a Falcon.
On the roof Silver Claw sets Alya down when Ladybug arrives.
"Good job Silver Claw." Ladybug smiles when Alya takes out her phone.
"You're here live folks where the Silver Claw just saved my life. Thanks a lot." Alya said.
"Thanks, but this is far from over I need to help Ladybug…"
"Find the Akuma, it's in his pendant. I pay attention to these things." Alya interrupts.
"Wow you continue to impress." Ladybug smiles when Horus suddenly flies in and knocks Ladybug off the roof.
"Ladybug!" Alya yells when Ladybug uses her Yoyo to avoid hitting the ground.
"Alright you step away from the girl." Silver Claw glares taking out his sword. Silver Claw charges bringing his sword down, but Pharaoh catches the blade in-between his hands. "Uh oh." Silver said as Pharaoh throws him off the roof sending him falling to the ground.
"Silver Claw!" Alya yells when Pharaoh picks her up and carries her to the light which traps her and lifts Alya up to the circle of darkness high in the air.
Silver Claw is slow to get up when Ladybug and Cat Noir run to him.
"You ok buddy?" Cat Noir asks.
"I'll live." Silver Claw said.
"We need to get to Alya before she reaches the circle of darkness." Ladybug said as the three of them sprinted to the Louvre only to see Pharaoh block their path.
"You will not get in the way of bringing back Nefertiti, I'll finish you. Anubis bring me mummies!" Pharaoh's head turns into a jackal and beams shoot out of his eyes.
Silver Claw pulls out his sword and throws it hitting Pharaoh in the head causing him to scream in pain, using this opening Ladybug throws her yoyo tying him up. Seeing his chance Cat Noir uses his staff to pole-vault over Pharaoh and run up the Louvre towards Alya.
"Horus, give me your wings!" Pharaoh yells as he takes off into the air with Ladybug flying along with him.
Climbing onto his back Ladybug yanks the cord causing the pendant to fall to the ground. "Cat Noir, Silver Claw get the pendant!" Ladybug yells.
Both heroes stop what they were doing and run for the Pendant with Ladybug right behind them. As they were about to reach them Pharoah gets in their way.
"Sekhmet, give me you-"
"Oh no you don't Moon Call!" Silver Claw's bracelet glows as he takes a deep breath releasing a Sonic wave in the form of a howl sending Pharaoh flying backwards into the wall.
Seeing this chance Ladybug walks up to the pendant and punches it, destroying it and freeing the Akuma. "No more evil doing for you little Akuma. Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug catches the Akuma in her yoyo turning it back into a butterfly. "Bye bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug uses her powers to turn all the mummies back to humans, save Alya and turn Pharaoh back into Jalil.
"What the? What happened?" He said.
"Pound it." The three heroes said.
"Nice timing out there wolfy, today you won us the battle." Cat Noir said as Alya runs over to them.
"Ladybug you guys were so awesome." Alya said.
"Thanks, good to see you're ok." Silver Claw said.
"Hey Ladybug, I need to ask how old are you really?" Alya asks.
"Much older than a high school student that's for sure." Ladybug said leaving.
"Anything you want to know about us?" Cat Noir asks.
"I think I'll be finding out soon enough." Alya said pointing at Silver Claw's bracelet.
"Oh boy uh gotta run!" Silver Claw ran away as fast as he could with Cat Noir leaving in another direction.
In the Egyptian exhibit Sam reaches into his bag and pulls out Ladybug's history book and attaches a note to it. "As much as I want to find out who Ladybug is I can't." Sam sighed putting it by the entrance and leaving.
Unknown to him Marinette walks in right after looking for the book. "Come where is it?" Marinette asks looking to see her book with a note saying, "Try to keep better track of your stuff I don't want to have to bail you out of trouble all the time. S.C."
Tikki pops out and smiles along with Marinette. "Wow if Cat Noir found out I don't know if he would have done this." Marinette said.
"Silver Claw is a good friend Marinette." Tikki smiles.
"Yeah he is." Marinette said taking the book and leaving.
Meanwhile Sam was walking though halls. "You did the right thing Sam." Faang said.
"Thanks Faang, but I gotta know why would a 5,000 year old hero need a history textbook?" Sam asks.
"One problem at a time Sam." Faang said as they entered the exhibit.
"Sam you're alive!" Alya said running to him. "What happened to you?" ALya asks.
"You won't believe this that Pharaoh guy grabbed me and threw into a supply closet trapping me inside." Sam said.
"Well at least you weren't a mummy trying to sacrifice me." Alya smiles.
"You were about to be sacrificed?" Sam asks.
"I know crazy he said I reminded him of the queen he tried to sacrifice the first time." Alya said.
"Wow well you're certainly pretty enough. Wait what did I just say?" Sam blushes with Alya turning a little red at the complement.
"W-Wow nobody has ever said that to me before. Really?" Alya.
"Well yeah." Sam said when Alya looks away before turning back and pecking him on the cheek.
"So uh thank you, m-maybe we can hang again b-bye." Alya said walking away.
Sam blushes as he reaches up to touch the cheek she kissed.
"Hmm she certainly is a unique human, I approve." Faang chuckles.
"S-Shut up." Sam glares before following her.
Hope you like the changes I made to the episode.
