Chapter 6: Phantom Nightmare
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. This one is my own original for Miraculous Ladybug. I hope you like it, this is my first time creating my own episode, it took awhile to figure everything out. So enjoy and review.
It had been 2 weeks since Lady Wifi and Sam asking Alya to be his girlfriend and since then the two lovers were inseparable. Alya of course went to Marinette and told her the big news and she squealed with joy about how happy she was for them.
Sam told Adrien who at this point had come to be his closest friend and Adrien was happy for him and wished him the best of luck.
Today Sam was at his house walking towards the couch with a bowl of popcorn. "Well Faang looks like it's just you and me for movie night." Sam said as Faang came out of his jacket.
"I can't wait to see the Avenger League movies those people know how to fight. You know Sam if you study their movements you can fight just as well as them." Faang said excited.
"I think I'm good with the way I'm learning." Sam chuckles when they hear a knock at the door. "Faang quick hide." Sam said as Faang goes into his jacket.
Sam puts down the popcorn and walks to the front door. "Hello?" He said opening it to see Alya outside. "Alya what are you doing here?" Sam asks.
"It's a slow week for the Ladyblog and since you usually spend movie night by yourself I thought it would be nice if I came over and gave you company." Alya smiles.
"You're always invited here Alya. Come on in." Sam said as Alya walks in.
"Wow nice place Sam." Alya said looking around.
"Yeah, my parents get lots of cool things in their travels, but when you're the only one here it gets kind of boring." Sam said.
"Well don't worry cause Alya is here to save you from your boredom. So what movie are we watching?" Alya asks walking over to him.
"Uh let me go get some choices." Sam said walking towards his room.
Once inside Sam lets Faang fly out. "This girl really loves you Sam." Faang chuckles.
"Yeah, she does, but what if she ends up seeing you Faang? How am I going to explain that?" Sam asks worried.
"Sam calm down I'll just hide in here. Now go it's rude to keep a lady waiting." Faang chuckles.
"Oh, right the movie." Sam said walking out to Alya and grabbing the remote. "So, any requests?" Sam asks.
"Well you know me I love Superheroes." Alya smiles.
"Well what do you know." Sam turns on the TV and the superhero marathon he planned to watch appeared on screen. "How about this?" Sam asks.
"Perfect, now I just need to get comfy." Alya said scooting over to Sam and resting her head on him.
Sam blushes slightly before wrapping an arm around Alya pulling her in close as the movie starts.
As Alya leans in close Sam could see that her shirt was a little unbuttoned, giving him a partial view of her breasts, trying to look away he noticed at her long legs, followed by an incredibly hot body.
'Calm down Sam. Calm down.' He thought looking towards the movie.
As the movie progressed Alya leaned in close to the point she was cuddling him. Seeing this Sam wraps his arms around her.
"You know a girl could get used to this." Alya smiles leaning in and kissing Sam on the lips.
As he kisses back Sam sits up and pulls Alya in close wrapping his arms around her waist.
After a few minutes the two of them separate for lack of air. "Wow that was amazing." Alya said breathing heavily.
"Have I ever said how much I love you?" Sam asks.
"Easy tiger." Alya giggles.
The next day at school Sam was walking towards class when Alya walks up to him.
"Hey, guess what the best girlfriend in the world just found out?" Alya said holding out her phone showing an ad for a convention. "Hero Con is coming this weekend."
"Whoa seriously that's awesome." Sam smiles.
"They have everything shops, stands, they even have a special guest appearance of Ryan Steves the guy who starred in Avenger League." Alya said.
"Oh, baby we have to go!" Sam said excited.
Alya looks at her phone for details. "Hey, says there's a deal if buy 4 tickets maybe I can invite Marinette."
"Who should we give the fourth ticket too?" Sam asks when a grin appears on Alya's face.
"How about Adrien?" She asks.
"Adrien why would he…oh." Sam said seeing her plan.
"Exactly." Alya smirks.
"I'll go ask him." Sam said giving Alya a kiss on the cheek before walking away.
Turning around Alya watches Sam walk away and sighs. "That's why I love him." She said walking away to find Marinette.
After class Sam walks over to Adrien. "Hey Adrien."
"Oh, hey Sam what's up?" Adrien asks.
"I've got an extra ticket to Hero Con this weekend you interested?" Sam asks.
"I don't have any plans…you know what I'd love to." Adrien smiles.1
"Great I'll see you there." Sam said taking out his phone and dialing Alya. "I talked to him and he said yes."
"Sweet! Marinette will want to come for sure." Alya said before hanging up and walking over to her. "Hey girl what would you say to a chance to hang out with Adrien this weekend?"
Marinette smiled widely. "Adrien?! Oh my gosh! How?" Marinette asks excitedly.
"He's going to the convention this weekend and if he runs into you there maybe he'll ask to hang out with you." Alya said causing Marinette to smile.
"Oh, thank you Alya!" Marinette said hugging her best friend.
"Always looking out for you bestie." Alya said.
The following weekend Alya and Marinette arrived at the convention. "I can't believe it an entire day with Adrien." Marinette said.
"Chill girl at this rate you'll freak out before Adrien even shows up." Alya chuckles.
"Hey Alya!" She looks over to see Sam waving at her. Alya looks over to Marinette.
"Go ahead." Marinette smiles as Alya runs over to Sam and wraps him in a hug. "Those two make such a cute couple." Marinette smiles.
"Don't they?" She looks to see Adrien standing nearby.
"Adrien?! Oh, uh yeah I mean uh I'm really happy for Alya." Marinette said blushing nervously.
"They do seem happy together, so you like superheroes too Marinette?" Adrien asks.
"Oh, uh yeah I mean I yeah uh I watch the Ladyblog a lot." Marinette said as Sam and Alya walks back to them holding each other's hand.
"So, you guys ready to go in and get our tickets?" Sam asks.
"You know it." Adrien said as the four of them walked in.
Meanwhile in another part of the convention a man was sitting down getting ready for the guest panel. He had short black hair and muscular physique. His name was Rick Steves one of the super Heroes of the movie Avenger League.
As he took his seat his manger walks over. "So, what's the news on the next movie?" Rick asks.
His manager looks at him and sighs. "I'm sorry Rick, but they plan to kill you off in the next movie. That next Avenger League movie will be your last."
"What? But Phantom is one of the best heroes ever." Rick said shocked.
"Sorry Rick maybe you'll find some other movies to work in." His manager said walking away leaving a devastated Rick behind.
"It's not fair I gave 5 years of my career to those people how can they do this to me?" Rick growls in anger.
At his unknown location Hawk Moth sees this.
"Ah a celebrity being taken away from the spotlight, a perfect target for my Akuma." Hawk Moth said as he infects a butterfly with darkness turning it into an Akuma. "Fly away my little Akuma and evilize him."
The Akuma flies out the window and towards the convention.
Looking at the watch he was given for the first Avenger League movie he was in Rick sighs when the Akuma flies in and evilizes him.
"Phantom Nightmare, I am Hawk Moth I can give you the stardom you deserve all I ask for is the Miraculous of Ladybug, Cat Noir and Silver Claw in return." Hawk Moth said.
"Consider it done." Rick said as darkness surrounds his body.
In the convention Adrien and Sam were looking ahead with Alya and Marinette right behind them.
"Come Marinette now's your chance." Alya whispers.
"I can't I'm too scared." Marinette said shaking.
"Come on girl don't chicken out on me." Alya said as she pushes Marinette forward towards Adrien.
"Oh, uh hey uh." Marinette looks around and notices a few people dressed like Ladybug, Cat Noir and Silver Claw at a booth. "Look they have Ladybug stands." Marinette said pointing.
Adrien looks over. "Yeah it's really cool how they have all this stuff."
Sam looks over to see Alya nodding. "Hey why don't you two go have look?" Sam suggests.
"Yeah come on Marinette." Adrien said reaching for her hand causing Marinette to blush.
"Mission accomplished." Alya said as Adrien leads Marinette to the booth.
"You are amazing." Sam said wrapping his arm around her.
"I know now come on what do you say we go enjoy ourselves?" Alya said.
"Sounds like a plan." Sam smiles as the two of them walk off.
At the guest panel fans were lining up excited to see Rick Steves and hear news about the next movie. The panel begins, and suddenly a figure drops down.
It was a man in a black grey hooded cloak, a grey belt, two swords on his back and a silver mask.
"And there he is folks it's Rick Steves as his hero, the Warrior of Darkness, Phantom!" The announcer said as the crowd erupts in cheers.
"Yes, and I have a special announcement to all of you." Phantom Nightmare said, and the crowd leans in with anticipation. Drawing one of his swords. "Phantom Nightmare is in control now!" Black energy surrounds the sword and with one swing of his sword destroys the table with ease and send the chunks flying into the wall towards the fans causing the crowd to scream in fear and run.
In another part of the convention Adrien and Marinette were looking at items and laughing.
"Hey Marinette, look who am I?" Adrien said putting on some fake cat ears and a mask causing her to giggle.
"Well then that must make you my sidekick." Marinette said putting on a plastic Ladybug mask causing them both to laugh.
"This is a lot of fun Marinette." Adrien smiles.
"Yeah I'm having a great time." Marinette smiles.
Nearby Sam and Alya were looking at a stand full of trinkets. "Hey Alya, look at these." Sam said holding up chibi figurines of Ladybug, Cat Noir and Silver Claw.
"OMG hold them up I got to put a picture of those on the Ladyblog." Alya said taking out her phone.
Sam laughs when he notices Adrien and Marinette laughing. "Hey, looks like those two are having fun." He said as Alya looks over. "Hey maybe if Marinette ever works up the courage we can go on a double date someday." Sam said.
"Maybe until then I'll have to make do just spending my dates with you." Alya winks.
Sam rubs the back of his head blushing when they all heard a screaming nearby. They look to see people running for their lives in horror.
"What's going on?" Alya asks when Phantom is seen jumping from the walls destroying booth after booth at the convention. "What the heck is going on?!" She said when the crowd comes in the direction of her and Sam separating the two of them. "Wait a minute. Sam?! Where are you?!" Alya yells.
Sam on the other side runs to the side and lets Faang out. "Talk about rotten timing." Faang said.
"Agreed, but we'll talk later. Faang Teeth out!" Sam said as his bracelet glows and he transforms into Silver Claw.
With Marinette and Adrien both look at the crowds screaming and gasp.
"Uh I better go find Alya." Marinette said.
"Yeah I'll go look this way." Adrien said as they ran off.
Marinette runs behind the food stand and lets Tikki out. "Sorry about this Tikki, too bad I had to stop spending time with Adrien. This was literally the best day ever." Marinette sighs.
"Marinette focus." Tikki said snapping her out of it.
"Ok I'm back. Tikki Spots On!" Marinette said as her earrings glows and Marinette transforms into Ladybug.
Adrien runs behind the staircase and lets Plagg out of his jacket. "Some convention where's the cheese?" Plagg asks.
"Not the time. Plagg Claws Out!" Adrien said as his ring glows and he transforms into Cat Noir.
As Phantom Nightmare walking through the convention he sees a poster of the new Avenger League that would have him killed off, growling in anger his sword glows and he slashes it to pieces.
"What didn't like the last movie?" Phantom turns around to see Cat Noir and Silver Claw on the staircase behind him.
"Shame I thought the movie was pretty good." Silver said.
"Beat it kids I'm the only hero around here." Phantom said drawing his second sword.
"Not if we have anything to say about it." Cat Noir said as he pulled out his staff and Silver Claw drew his sword.
The two of them jump down towards Phantom who blocks both their attacks with his swords. As he pushes them backwards he attacks Cat Noir swinging his swords sending him skidding backwards before turning to Silver Claw who blocks his attacks.
"You call that swinging around sword fighting?" Phantom Nightmare grins. "Let me show you how it's done." He swings his sword up and Silver Claw's is sent flying. As Silver Claw looks up Phantom delivers a powerful kick sending Silver Claw falling backwards.
"You're mine!" Phantom charges towards him when Ladybug throws her yoyo tying up Phantom.
"Sorry movie star but, you're not winning the fight today." Ladybug said tossing Silver Claw his sword.
"About time you showed up milady." Cat Noir smiles.
"That guy is insane with a sword we need to find the where the Akuma is." Ladybug said.
"Agreed." Silver Claw said.
"Follow my lead." Ladybug said as she throws her yoyo and jumps over Phantom followed by Cat Noir and Silver Claw.
"You think you can run? Not a chance." Phantom Nightmare chases after them.
Running down the main hall the three heroes turn to face Phantom Nightmare.
"Ok boys ready?" Ladybug asks.
"Ready." Cat Noir and Silver Claw said readying their weapons.
Ladybug charges forward as Phantom's swords glowed.
He charges at her, but Ladybug ducks into a slide just in time. Phantom turns to face her when Cat Noir swings his staff.
"Sorry pal, find your own girl." Cat Noir said as he and Phantom clashed weapons.
Ladybug studies Phantom's outfit and at the edge of his wrist notices a watch. "Guys I found the Akuma it's the watch on his arm!" She yells.
"Got it!" Silver Claw jumps swinging his sword, but Phantom ducks in the nick of time and jumps backwards.
"We need to find a way to get close to him." Silver Claw said.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug's yoyo spins and from it a bottle of paint appears. "Paint?"
"Sorry Art isn't my thing." Cat Noir said.
Ladybug looks around and examines her surroundings until she sees what to do.
Phantom Nightmare charges with his swords.
"Silver Claw stop him!" Ladybug said.
"Right! Moon Call!" Silver Claw's bracelet glows and he inhales before releasing a sonic howl stopping Phantom in his tracks.
"Cat Noir the swords!" Ladybug yells as she throws the bottle of paint into the air, throwing her yoyo at it the paint is knocked out falling on top of Phantom's mask blinding him.
"My eyes!" Phantom yells trying to wipe the paint away.
"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir's hand glows black as he charges forward grabbing the swords and turning them to dust.
Ladybug throws her yoyo tying him up, so he can't move. Charging with his sword Silver Claw slams it down on the watch destroying it and releasing the Akuma.
"No more evil doing for you little Akuma. Time to de evilize!" Ladybug throws her yoyo capturing the Akuma inside it. "Bye bye little Butterfly." She throws the paint bottle into the air. "Miraculous Ladybug!" Using her power Ladybug undoes all the damage to the convention and turns Phantom Nightmare back to Rick Steves.
"Uh what happened?" He asks looking around.
"Pound it." The three heroes said fist bumping.
"Hey, you three are those superheroes everyone takes about." Rick said walking over to them.
"Yep that's us want an autograph?" Cat Noir asks.
"Man, I wish I was half the hero you guys are in my movies maybe then my character wouldn't have been killed off." Rick said.
"Well Phantom's time in the spotlight may be over, but yours isn't." Ladybug said.
"Yeah I bet you can land another movie easily." Silver Claw said.
"Thanks a lot." Rick said when their Miraculous start to beep.
"Uh we got to go, good luck in your movies!" Ladybug said as the three of them took off.
"Those are some interesting heroes." Rick said.
A half hour later the convention was back on and Alya was looking everywhere for Sam, Adrien, or Marinette.
"Alya!" She turns to see Sam running to her.
"Sam!" She runs over and hugs him tightly. "What happened? After we got separated I was worried something happened to you?" Alya said.
"Hey, it's okay I'm fine I promise." Sam said holding her close.
Alya leans into the hug enjoying the embrace.
At the end of the hallway Marinette was looking around for Adrien. "I hope nothing happened to Adrien."
"Don't worry Marinette I'm sure he's fine." Tikki said.
"Marinette there you are." Adrien said walking over. "Good to see you got out ok."
"Uh yeah uh sorry everything was cut short." Marinette said nervously.
"Yeah I have to get home soon." Adrien sighs.
"Really?" Marinette said sad to hear it.
"Yeah, my dad wants me back, but uh I got you something." Adrien said holding a bag out to her. "It's not much but we had lots of fun with those."
Marinette reaches in to see the Ladybug mask she wore earlier.
"See you at school Marinette." Adrien said walking away.
"He bought me a present…this is the best day ever." Marinette sighed.
Sam and Alya look over and sigh. "Well so much for that." Alya said.
"Guess those two have awhile to go." Sam said.
"Well in the meantime how about we enjoy the rest of this by ourselves?" Alya smiles.
Sam smiles as she kisses him on the lips. "I love you you know, that right?" He said.
"Oh, I know and it's mutual." She smirks walking ahead swaying her hips for him.
Sam blushes at the sight before following her.
