"Warden" The Akuma Keeping Purple Tigress and Viperion captive looked around for the sound of the voice. "You didn't think to take their phone from them?"
"Who… Who said that, your voice is different."
"Chrysalis is a Failure, you answer to me now" He didn't get it but since she had the broach she could take his powers if he didn't listen. "Ladybug and Chat Noir will no doubt be on their way here now, I thought it fair to warn you"
Not that she honestly expected him to beat them but it would give her a moment's peace at the very least. For now, she had to have a little chat with her daughter.
But first, she would use sublimation to boost the abilities of her other Miraculous.
Kagami had headed to her room after waving Felix off her mind was going a million miles a minute, she was anxiously awaiting some news about her mother while she dearly hoped Tomeo wasn't involved she wouldn't be surprised if she was.
Unfortunately, her fears were confirmed when a figure entered her room she didn't immediately recognise the person though they were clearly using the Miraculous.
"It's been years since I've seen your face Kagami." The woman spoke. "How you've grown, dear daughter"
"So you are involved, after all, I wish I could say I was surprised" Kagami attempted to remain stone-faced but her mother saw through this.
"Correct, Cerise only acquired the Miraculous thanks to me." Her tone was hard to read but it made Kagami nervous. "and I believe you have one too? The Miraculous of the Dragon correct?"
"You knew?"
"I have cameras all over this house Kagami everywhere except the bathrooms" She spoke as if that invasion of privacy was unimportant.
"You've been spying on me!?"
"And you've proven I was right to do so" She replied Cooley. "When were you planning to tell me you were Ryuko? You ask for trust but you keep secrets, it's a complete betrayal, but you can redeem yourself."
"I'm not interested in the kind of redemption you offer"
"I have increased the power of the butterfly miraculous with the rooster miraculous, I could force you to obey me if need be, but I want to talk first and I hope you'll make the right decision." She would sit on Kagami's bed before producing an Akuma though she was undecided if she'd use it. This Akuma was jet black, unlike the blackish purple of a typical Akuma.
"These Miraculous, have you ever considered that they shouldn't exist?" She began as she gestured down to her broach. "They a give a single person the power to turn the tide in a war, they can alter reality itself, nobody should have that kind of power"
"Look at what happened when Gabriel used his for evil, people were terrified of their own emotions because they couldn't trust that they wouldn't become Akumatised wouldn't it be better if nobody had to worry about that sort of thing?"
"No! The Miraculous aren't meant to be used for evil; you can't blame Gabriel's actions on it!"
"He wouldn't have been able to do anything if it didn't exist, that's why I'll use the Ladybug and the Black Cat to destroy the Miraculous all of them"
"You can't do that you have no idea what sort of chaos that would cause!" Long would attempt to argue before being swatted aside by Tomeo.
"They can do harm, yes but equally they can do good and most people have used them for good!" Kagami would catch Long. "Long bring the storm"
Kagami would transform before drawing her weapon. "but I know better than expecting you to change your mind."
"Idiot! I'm only doing what needs to be done!" She would snap before getting to her feet.
"And who decides that!?" Kagami snapped back.
"... As I said, your consent, is not necessary" She released the Akuma which flew into Ryukos sword as much as she tried to fight it, it was simply too much. "But I am disappointed, Dear Daughter, that you lack the wisdom to see the truth in what I'm saying."
Ryuko's sword would turn black, as would her outfit, the outfit was predominantly black with an eight-headed red dragon snaking its way along her body.
"Orochi, Ladybug and Chat Noir will be here soon and when they get here, we will Destroy them."
"Yes, Mother"
"Good Girl"
Ladybug and Chat Noir would arrive not long after and for a moment it was quiet a little too quiet for their liking they ducked to the side as Warden attempted to trap them as he had done to Purple Tigress and Viperion but Ladybug had pulled both Chat and herself out of the way.
"The Akuma that trapped Viperion and Purple Tigress I assume?" Chat Looked up at the man, he had figured they'd have to deal with him.
"Let's handle him quickly, we don't have time to waste here." Ladybug readied her weapon, this guy didn't seem like much of a threat
And they were right, since this Akuma had been made for a single purpose, Aka trap whoever was sent to investigate Tomeo, they would find his combat prowess severely lacking.
The only thing he had with him was a set of keys so they didn't need to think too hard about where the Akuma was and once Ladybug had the man restrained chat Destroyed the keys, She didn't even need to use her lucky charm.
Luka and Juleka would find themselves freed though for the time being they'd lay low until they could get a better read on what was going on.
Of course, Tomeo knew he'd been beaten but it didn't matter it was about time she handled this herself.
She didn't wait for them to come in as she nonchalantly walked out the front door. "I needn't bother with a tacky supervillain name, you already know who I am"
"Tomeo Tsurugi, I know" Ladybug eyed her cautiously. She was wearing 3 miraculous? That was pretty risky. Something seemed off about her though.
"Gotta say this feels sort of cheap for you, just copying Gabriel"
"Copying? Oh, that's rich, tell me, boy, do you think Gabriel would have known to search for the Miraculous if I hadn't told him about the legend myself?"
"That was you?" Chat glared at her.
"So you're the reason mom got sick" Adrien approached her but Tomeo didn't bother to back off "Nathalie too, You're the reason Master Fu lost his memory and it was you…"
"You turned my father into a Monster!" He'd throw a punch aiming for her face. "You're the one to blame!" His fist would only connect with metal however, his attack had been blocked by an Akuma he would immediately recognise as Kagami.
"Kagami? What has she-" He would be cut off by Orochi kicking him in the chest sending him a few feet back.
"Dear Daughter I leave these two in your capable hands" She would have been happy to just watch but she would feel a string wrap around her arm dragging her forward slightly until she found her footing.
"Change of plan, you handle the Cat I'll take care of our little friend here" She would grab the string and pull Ladybug forward punching her in the stomach.
The blow would knock the wind out of Marinette but still, she would struggle to her feet ready to fight.
Tomeo drew her sword before rushing Marinette, before she'd lost her sight this woman had been a fencing world champion, she was rusty of course but Marinette had a feeling that was the only reason she'd managed to dodge that attack.
Tomeo would thrust the Blade forward grazing Marinettes arm but not causing any serious damage,
"You have to be quick to avoid my attacks, So you do have some skill in combat."
"Well, I've been doing this for a year so I had to learn."
Tomeo would summon the ball from the dog miraculous and throw it at a nearby car before using fetch, opening the portal just above Ladybug who narrowly avoided being crushed.
Chat Noir would block Orochi's blade with his staff before kicking her in the stomach to force her to back off. "Come on Kagami, you can fight this"
"Why would I? She's right this sort of power just shouldn't exist!" She'd swipe at him again this time creating a gust of wind which would knock him back a ways even after he avoided the sword.
Chat would land on his feet. "What are you talking about?"
"The Miraculous, all mother wishes to do is get rid of them, just look at the damage they can do"
Chat would have to roll out of the way of a stream of water Orochi launched towards him.
"You know the risks attached to making a wish, even if Tomeo thinks she's right she has no idea what the consequences could be!" Chat would swing his staff towards her aiming to hit her in the back of the leg before suddenly having to back up.
Tomeo and Ladybug rushed past Chat and Orochi, Tomeo once again tried to crush Ladybug with a car, ladybug avoided it but from here Orochi would be hit as well.
Chat would call upon his cataclysm reducing the car to rust to stop it from harming Orochi who repaid him with a bolt of lightning which knocked him to the ground.
"Well that's gratitude for you" He looked up to see her pointing her sword at him. "Come on cut me a break will ya, I just helped you"
"Be that as it may it's only natural I wish to obey my mother" She kept her weapon trained on him.
"Natural huh? So it's natural to be an obedient little pet who doesn't think for herself?" Chat snapped back "If I hadn't destroyed that car you'd have been crushed! She didn't even care that you'd be hurt in the crossfire."
"Why should I care if mother doesn't!? I'm not so weak that I need things like affection!" she'd thrust her sword towards him but she'd only hit the concrete. As he rolled out of the way, she'd turn to look for him but she'd find someone else.
"You don't need affection? Gotta say as your boyfriend I'm kinda hurt" Argos smirked before looking over to Chat Noir, "You go help Ladybug, I'll handle her, we might even come to help you if I get this done quick enough."
Chat was a little surprised for one Argos had just revealed his identity to him but aside from that he sounded so confident like the idea of him losing wasn't even a possibility. He decided he had to trust Felix to handle this and left to help Ladybug.
