Miraculous belongs to Thomas Astruc. We don't owe anything at all. Only our OCs.
Summary: Miraculouses have been corrupted. It's up to Master Fu and Marianne to select the holders of the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses to save and de-corrupt them. Will they succeed, or fail?
Wow, it's been a while. Sorry about that. Life got crazy. Hopefully we can return to regular updates.
Chapter Four: The Black-Tie Party (Even More Corruptions-Raven, Porcupine, and Spider)
It was the night of the party, and Melanie would be getting ready, applying some makeup to her face. Her hair would be curled, and she wore a sapphire blue dress with high heels. Her earrings were camouflaged and rose gold in color. She smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror, taking a selfie, and sending it to Grayson. She smirked as she did so.
"I look so sexy," she let out.
"Melanie! The guests are arriving!" her mother called out.
"Coming!" Melanie let out, as she hurried downstairs to join her siblings and parents.
Flint had blue eyes, and black hair. He was 6'4, and wore a fancy suit. Next to him was his wife, Keira, who was 5'7, with light green eyes, and straight honey-blonde hair. She was wearing a wine-red dress, with high heels.
Next to them were the twins, who were both 24 years old. The male had blue eyes, and black hair, and was currently wearing contact lenses, so that his glasses wouldn't get dirty. He wore a navy blue suit. He was 6'3, and his name was Eric.
Sydney would be next. She was 5'8, with light green eyes, and honey blonde hair tied up into a fancy bun. She wore a pink strapless dress with high heels.
"You look so stunning!" Sydney let out to her sister.
"Thanks, sis," Melanie grinned. "So do you."
"I always do," Sydney smirked.
"Now, now, children. Behave. Our guests are arriving soon," Flint let out.
"Sorry, father," Sydney and Melanie chimed in.
Eric rolled his eyes a bit. "You remembered the fact about no alcohol, right, father?"
"Of course, Eric. We don't want you breaking out into hives," Flint nodded.
"Thank goodness. I wouldn't want to go to the emergency department tonight," Eric said.
"We've basically invited everyone in town!" Sydney let out. "I sure do hope that there will be hot boys at the party!"
"Considering dear Melanie already has a hookup herself, do you think he'll be here?" Eric smirked at his sister.
"Perhaps," Melanie grinned.
"Ugh, you're so lucky!" Sydney whined.
"What can I say? I got my good looks from you and mother," Melanie grinned again. The doors would be opened, to welcome in their guests.
The first two guests soon arrived. One of them was Grayson, wearing a black tuxedo with dress shoes. The other was a female, with dark blue eyes and light brown hair, wearing a white dress with flats. This was his sister, Giselle.
"Welcome," Eric would smile at the two of them.
"Thank you," Giselle returned the smile.
"We're happy to be here," Grayson added on. He looked over at Melanie and smiled.
Melanie smiled back at him. "Hey, handsome."
"Hey beautiful," Grayson replied.
A ramp was nearby the entrance, as Lucille rolled herself up. She was wearing a gold dress, and her hair was tied into a ponytail. Around her neck was a silver necklace, and it had a tiny brooch attached to it. The brooch was rose gold in colour. She was also carrying a silver clutch purse.
"Thanks for the invite," Lucille said politely, as she wheeled herself into the party.
Walking up to the party was Cooper. He was wearing a white dress shirt with black dress pants and black dress shoes, as well as a black bow tie.
"Hey there handsome," Sydney flirted.
"Sorry, you're not my type," Cooper replied.
Sydney was shocked at this, but pouted, crossing her arms.
Dianne skipped into the party, wearing her nicest dress. "I'm so glad you invited me!" she said sweetly, before walking into the party.
The next people to arrive were two guys. Both had blonde hair, although one had curly hair and one had neatly combed hair. The boy with curly hair had green eyes and was wearing a gray suit with dress shoes, while the boy with neat hair had brown eyes and was wearing a black suit and dress shoes. The boy with curly hair was Will, and the boy with neatly combed hair was Alex.
"Come on in you two," Kiera said. "Welcome to the party."
"Thank you," Will smiled and entered the house. Alex didn't say anything, he just gave a nod and followed his brother inside the house.
Next to arrive was Brooklynne, wearing a gorgeous silver dress, with high heels. Her hair was tied up into a bun. "Beckett, come on!" she shouted outside.
Beckett soon walked up. His hair was combed back and he was wearing a slick black suit with black dress shoes. "I'm here," he told his sister.
"Good," Brooklynne let out, heading inside.
Beckett also headed inside.
The next to arrive was a pretty Indian girl. She had a tanned skin tone, along with round brown eyes, wearing a pretty white dress decorated with light purple flowers.
"My sister, Lilith, sends her regrets for not coming," she said with a curtsey. She was wearing a white dress that was decorated with purple flowers, along with golden flats.
"That's alright. We hope that she gets a speedy recovery," Keira said kindly.
Rosa nodded, as she headed into the party.
Not long after Rosa arrived, Nick arrived at the party. His hair was slicked to the side and he was wearing a navy blue dress shirt with black dress pants and dress shoes.
"Welcome," Flint said.
"Thank you for the invitation," Nick replied with a nod.
Following Nick would be a gorgeous Latina girl arriving at the party, with tanned skin, light brown hair, and green eyes. She was wearing a seductive-looking champagne pink dress, with high heels, and a pink rose in her hair.
"It's wonderful to be here," she said in her seductive Spanish accent, as she walked into the party. Her name was Ashlynn.
After Ashlynn was a girl dressed in black. Brittany Drake. "Thanks for the invite," she said, before walking into the party.
The next guest to arrive was a lean, tan male with brown eyes and blonde combed back hair. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a red tie and black business shoes. This was Mitchell.
Coming up to the party as well was a pretty girl with a fair skin tone, light brown eyes and black hair. She was wearing a violet dress, with violet high flats. She wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into Mitchell. This was Jasmine.
Feeling someone bump into him, Mitchell quickly turned around to see who'd bumped into him.
Jasmine blushed in embarrassment. "Oh my god, I am so sorry."
"Hey, it's alright," Mitchell replied with a reassuring smile.
Jasmine smiled a little, before heading into the party.
Mitchell also headed into the party.
A pretty Asian girl with brown hair, and black eyes arrived at the party, wearing a red and gold dress, with red flats. Her name was Mei. "Thank you for the invite," she said with a bow, before entering the party.
Soon after Mei had entered the party, a young man with brown hair and brown eyes arrived. He was wearing a silver tuxedo. His name was Jackson. "Thanks for inviting me," was all he had to say before he entered the party.
A male with olive skin, green eyes, and slicked brown hair entered the party wearing a white tuxedo, with black dress shoes. "Thank you for the invite," the male said. His name was Jason. "Glad to be here," Jason said, before heading into the party.
Two males walked up next. One of them was Gavin wearing a black tuxedo with black dress shoes and a red tie. The other boy looked like Gavin, except his eyes were hazel and his tuxedo and dress shoes were white, and he had a blue tie. The other boy's name was Ike.
"Thank you for the invitation," Gavin said with a polite smile as he headed into the party.
"Yeah…what he said," Ike added as he hurried into the party behind Gavin.
Laura was the next to arrive, and she was wearing an ice blue dress, with high heels. "Hi!" she said, before heading into the party.
The next person to arrive at the party was a tan male with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a black tuxedo. This was Ryan. "Hello, thank you for the invitation," he said, entering the party.
After Ryan arrived, a girl with golden blonde hair and light blue eyes arrived. She was wearing an amethyst purple dress with flats. Her name was Alexandria. "Hi!" she smiled. "Happy to make it." She headed into the party.
After Alexandria arrived, a girl with darker skin, black hair and dark brown eyes arrived. She was wearing an emerald green dress with high heels. Her name was Hazel. "Thanks," was all she said before entering.
A slightly older guy arrived next. He had tanned olive skin, teal eyes, and black hair, with a small amount of facial hair growing. He was wearing a simple suit with dress shoes. His name was James. "Pleasure to be here," he said formally, entering the party.
Next up would be a young adult, who had dark blue eyes, and dark brown hair. Her name was Skye Stone. "Sup?" she let out, entering the party, wearing a dark blue dress with flats.
After Skye arrived, was another male. He had jet black hair, and light green eyes. He was wearing a beige tuxedo with brown dress shoes. This was Tyson. "Hey," was all he said before entering the party.
The next person to walk up to the party was a young male with side-swept dark brown hair and light green eyes, wearing a dark blue suit with dress shoes. His name was Easton. "Pleasure to be here," he said as he entered.
Another boy soon walked up. He had auburn hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a cream-colored suit. His name was Jonah. "Glad to be here," he said with a smile. "Thanks for the invite."
"Ugh, I can't believe I have to go to this stupid party with you!" a shrill, female voice let out. She had blonde hair that was braided with blue eyes, and she wore a lavender dress with high heels. This was Daniella.
"Please," the person she was referring to scoffed. The person was none other than Derek, wearing a dark green suit. "You know everyone was invited, including me. There really wasn't a say in the matter."
"As long as you stay the hell away from me, we're good," Daniella said bluntly.
"Welcome you two," Kiera said.
"Thanks," Daniella said simply, before entering.
Derek gave a smile and nod. He scanned the crowd and saw Laura, giving her a smirk that he thought was rather charming. It was probably actually really creepy.
Laura scowled at her ex, turning away immediately.
A gorgeous girl, with icy blue eyes, and platinum blonde hair. She was wearing a mermaid-style turquoise dress, with high heels. Her name was Juliette. "It's great to be here!" she said, as she entered the party.
A guy soon walked up to the party. He had brown hair and hazel brown eyes. He was wearing a dark green tuxedo with green shoes. "Hi," he said before entering. That was Jude.
Walking up next was Kelly, wearing a simple black dress with flats. She'd ditched her hat for the occasion. "Hey," she smiled before entering.
Not long after her, Brayden arrived, wearing a light blue suit with darker blue shoes. "Pleasure to be here," he said before entering.
After Brayden, a female with black hair and green eyes showed up. She was wearing a light pink dress with flats. This was Evelyn. "Thank you for the invite," she said and entered.
After her was another female, who appeared to be around the same age as James. She had dyed black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a dark purple dress with flats. This was Makenna. She gave a simple nod before entering.
The next guest to arrive was Samuel, wearing a simple red tuxedo with black dress shoes. "I-I'm glad to be here," he said before entering.
After Samuel was a young lady with an olive skin tone, dark brown wavy hair and green eyes. She wore an aqua blue dress with flats. Her name was Audrey. She gave a nod and a "thank you for the invite" before going inside.
The next guest was a male with pale skin, light brown hair and dark green eyes. He wore a white suit with dress shoes. His name was Owen. "It's nice to be here," he said before he entered.
The fourth-last guest was a young man with blonde hair and green eyes. He was currently wearing a navy blue tuxedo with matching shoes. This was Nate. "Hey, thanks for the invite," he said before entering.
The third-last guest to arrive was yet another boy. He had black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a blue tie and black dress shoes. His name was Hudson. "Thank you for the invitation, it's nice to be here," he said as he entered.
A handsome man would soon arrive, with icy blue eyes, and platinum blonde hair. He wore a rainbow suit. This was Romeo. "Sup," he let out, entering the party.
Finally, before the servants could close the door, Anthony ran in, panting. "The bus…*pant* broke down…*pant* so I had to take a taxi… *pant*." He was wearing a simple suit with dress pants, and a tie, before he entered the party.
"Well, now we can start the party," Flint said.
Samuel/Tyson
Tyson was looking around the party, a small smile on his face. He went to grab some fruit punch.
Samuel was hanging out near the punch bowl, cup in hand. He was looking at all the people attending the party, trying to deduce who would be good additions to the team…and also to see who would be good to interact with.
Eventually, Tyson noticed Samuel near him. "Oh, hey," he said.
That caught Samuel's attention as he turned to look at Tyson. "O-Oh, hey," he replied. He was more or less caught off guard, but he figured he would take this opportunity.
"How's it going?" Tyson asked.
"G-Good," Samuel replied. Internally, he was getting tired of having to pretend to stammer over his words, but he couldn't risk blowing his cover. Especially not this early, but he wasn't about to let Tyson know that. "How about you?"
"I'm doing fine," Tyson took a sip of the fruit punch. "This family knows how to throw a party. They've been on the news a lot, with their charity things and all that."
"Ah, I s-see," Samuel nodded. He didn't really pay much attention to the news, sans the whole heroes and villains action, so he wasn't really aware.
Tyson finished his cup, and got himself a refill. "Want me to get you a cup?" he asked.
"I'd appreciate it," Samuel answered.
Tyson put his cup down, before using the scoop to pour a cup for Samuel. As he passed the cup to him, his hands brushed against the boy, and he quickly gave him the cup. "Sorry about that," he apologized.
When Tyson's hand brushed against his, Samuel felt his face turn light red, although he hid it. "It's alright," he replied as he accepted the cup. "T-Thank you."
"No problem," Tyson smiled at him.
Samuel returned the smile.
"My name's Tyson," Tyson introduced himself.
"A-And I'm Samuel," Samuel introduced himself as well. "Pleased to meet you Tyson."
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well," Tyson smiled.
Eric/Giselle
Giselle was wandering around the party.
Eric would approach Giselle, with a glass of apple cider in his hand. "Enjoying yourself, princess?" he would ask, with his smooth, sexy, British accent.
"I am, thank you for asking," Giselle replied with a smile. "Are you enjoying the party as well?"
"Well, my family is well-known for throwing such extravagant parties," Eric smirked.
Giselle went wide-eyed. "You're one of the hosts?" she gasped in awe.
"Mostly my parents," Eric replied. "They also have to make sure that no alcohol is around."
"That's good," Giselle responded. She didn't like alcohol.
Eric would pass her the drink.
"Oh," Giselle replied, blushing a little. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, princess," Eric smiled.
"P-Princess?" Giselle repeated, blushing a little more.
"Do you like the nickname?" Eric asked.
"I do," Giselle answered, still blushing madly.
Eric would kiss her hand, smiling.
Jason/Ashlynn
There wasn't much talking between these two. Instead, they were in a corner, making out with one another. It was passionate. Ashlynn had flirted with Jason, and he flirted back. Well, only because Jason was slowly getting attracted to the gorgeous Latina. And soon enough, the make-out session was over.
"I'll be wanting another kiss from you later," Ashlynn winked at him.
"I can't wait," Jason replied smiling.
Ryan/Evelyn
Ryan was standing near the dance floor, watching people.
Near the dance floor was Evelyn, observing. She wasn't really talking to anyone at the moment.
Ryan approached her. "You like watching people too?" he asked her curiously.
"Yeah," Evelyn replied. "I'm an observer, not much of a talker."
"Ah. I'm quite nervous. I attend a private school for boys," Ryan said.
"You attend a private school huh?" Evelyn asked. "What's it like there?"
"Interesting. We stay in our dorms for the school year. There are four dorms, and we're sorted into them after a test," Ryan replied. "There's Sportastic, Artistic, Smartastic, and Techtastic. I'm in the Artistic dorm."
"So you're an artist?" Evelyn asked. "Or is it completely random?"
"You're right on the artist. I write my own songs," Ryan answered.
"I'm sure they're good," Evelyn replied with a nod.
"Maybe I could play one for you in private? After this party?" Ryan offered.
For the first time since she'd gotten there, Evelyn gave a small smile. "I'd like that," she responded.
"Cool. I'll let the RA for the Artistic dorm know that you'll be coming one day. His name's Karl, and he's a 6th year student," Ryan said.
"Good to know," Evelyn said.
"The name's Ryan," he introduced himself, holding out his hand.
"And I'm Evelyn," Evelyn replied, accepting the hand for a handshake.
While holding her hand, Ryan gently kissed it. "It's a pleasure to meet you," he replied.
Evelyn felt her heart flutter. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well," she replied.
Jonah/Dianne
Dianne was humming a song to herself, while on the dance floor.
Jonah was also on the dance floor, dancing.
Dianne noticed Jonah, and strutted up to him. "Hey, handsome," she said.
"Oh, hi," Jonah replied, turning to look at Dianne. "Sup?"
"I'm just looking at your handsome self," Dianne winked at him.
Jonah felt his face turn red. "Thank you," he replied.
"No problem," Dianne replied, slowly trailing her fingers up his arm.
Jonah gave a nod. "What's your name?"
"Dianne," she replied with a grin.
"Nice to meet you," Jonah smiled. "I'm Jonah."
Mitchell/Jasmine
After that embarrassing incident that had happened when she arrived, Jasmine was hiding herself in the crowd. She was afraid, and shy.
Mitchell was also in the crowd. He was trying to find the person who'd bumped into him for a possible interaction.
Lo and behold, Jasmine wasn't looking where she was going, and bumped into Mitchell again, almost falling to the ground.
Mitchell caught her before she hit the ground. "You okay?" he asked, concerned.
"U-u-um...y-y-yes," Jasmine stuttered.
"Good to hear," Mitchell smiled at her. "I'm Mitchell, pleased to meet you."
"Jasmine," she said super quietly.
"Nice to meet you Jasmine," Mitchell replied.
"Y-y-y-you t-t-t-too," Jasmine stuttered again.
"Odd question," Mitchell cleared his throat. "But how come you're so shy?"
"O-oh...I usually n-n-never interact with a lot of p-p-people," Jasmine replied.
"I can help you if you want," Mitchell offered.
"R-r-r-really?" Jasmine looked at Mitchell.
"Really," Mitchell replied.
"O-oh. T-t-thank y-y-you," Jasmine smiled softly.
"It's no problem," Mitchell replied, returning the smile.
Nate/Brittany
Brittany was observing people, hoping to find someone to recruit for the team. However, she had to keep this evil part of her hidden. Which would be easy. Considering that she's a mob boss.
Nate was standing in the crowd, before he noticed Brittany. He walked up to her.
"What do you want?" Brittany asked him.
"Just thought you might want someone to talk to," Nate smiled at her. "I'm Nate."
"Brittany Drake. You might know my name," she replied, a small smirk on her face.
"You're the mob boss, right?" Nate asked for clarification. He'd heard about the mob before, but he wanted to make sure this was true.
"You got it right in one. Took over from my father after he was murdered right in front of me," Brittany replied.
"Sounds rough," Nate replied, sympathetically. "I'm sorry for your loss."
"I'm still looking for my father's killer," Brittany clenched her fists. "I don't care if I go to jail over it, I will murder the killer in cold blood."
"I wish you luck with your search," Nate replied. "Just...don't murder them. I heard jail isn't that fun."
"Well, I would rule the jail. People are afraid of me," Brittany smirked at him.
"Good to note," Nate replied.
Alexandria/Hazel
Alexandria was currently looking at herself in a hand mirror, just to make sure nothing was out of place. "Oh, I'm so glad that my make-up isn't ruined," she said to herself.
Hazel was walking around the party, looking for someone to talk to.
Upon noticing Hazel, Alexandria winked at her. "Hey, gorgeous," she said.
Hazel looked up, towards Alexandria. She raised an eyebrow. "Hey," was all she said in response.
"I'm Alexandria. What's your name?" the blonde haired girl asked.
"Hazel," Hazel replied. "Nice to meet you."
"You too," Alexandria grinned. "Maybe when a slow song comes on, wanna dance?"
"Sure, why not," Hazel answered.
Jude/Skye
Skye was listening as the DJ played some music. It was alright, but nothing better than what she mixed.
Jude was standing around. The party was alright thus far.
Skye looked around and noticed her ex-boyfriend. "Hey," she said simply. "Good to see you again."
Jude looked up, and noticed his ex girlfriend. "Good to see you too," he replied.
"Have you been coping well since our breakup?" Skye asked.
"Yeah, I have," Jude replied. "Have you?"
"I've been doing okay. Mixing more tracks," Skye replied.
"That's good," Jude responded.
"Honestly, I miss you," Skye admitted.
Jude was not expecting that. He was half-expecting her to say she had a new boyfriend, but not what she just said. "I miss you too," he finally replied. "It just feels...different being exes, y'know?"
"I get it," Skye sighed. "Father was so upset when I told him that we broke up. He really liked us together." She looked at Jude. "Save me a dance for later?"
"Oh yeah, for sure," Jude replied with a nod.
"Cool," Skye said. "See you," she went to grab herself some punch.
"See ya," Jude nodded.
Jackson/Mei
Mei was looking around the party, and in her dress. Her parents were thrilled that she wore a dress that was "Chinese-Looking."
Jackson was looking around and eventually noticed Mei. He walked up to her with a smile. "Hey."
"Hello," Mei replied with a slight Chinese accent.
"I'm Jackson," Jackson introduced himself.
"My name is Mei. I'm from China," she replied.
"Nice to meet you Mei," Jackson responded. "If you don't mind me asking, what's China like?"
"I don't mind. It's a beautiful country. Big too. However, smog everywhere. My family wanted to get away from there. So we moved to Canada."
"Ah I see," Jackson nodded. "Are you enjoying Canada, thus far?"
"It's really cool. I want to see more fun places in this city. Never got a chance to. However, I am glad my parents allowed me to go to this party. They want me to make friends. Find a husband," Mei replied.
"Well if you ever want someone to show you around, I'd be willing to," Jackson responded.
"Well, you'll have to get the approval of my parents. They're quite strict," Mei laughed softly.
"I'm sure I'll get their approval at some point," Jackson chuckled.
"I'm being serious. Mother and Father are strict about wanting to approve of a tour guide for their only daughter. They don't want me hurt," Mei said.
"I'll make sure you don't get hurt," Jackson replied.
"We'll see what my parents say about that," Mei laughed.
"Yeah," Jackson agreed.
Hudson/Juliette
Juliette would be observing the guests at the party, drinking some apple cider.
After being on the dance floor for some time, Hudson went to go find some people to talk to. He noticed Juliette and approached her. "Hey," he greeted.
"Oh, hello," Juliette smiled at him.
"I'm Hudson," he introduced himself. "Are you enjoying the party?"
Juliette nodded. "Yes. My name's Juliette," she smiled.
"Lovely to meet you, Juliette," Hudson replied with a charming smile.
Juliette blushed a little. "Thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you too."
Gavin/Laura
Laura would be walking around the party.
Derek soon approached her, smirking. "Hey, gorgeous," he said. He was trying to sound charming, but in reality he just sounded somewhat creepy.
"Ugh, stay away from me, Derek. We've broken up, remember?" Laura scowled.
"I want you back," Derek smirked. "And I know you want me back too."
"No way," Laura growled.
"You're lying to yourself, babe," Derek replied, trying to go the 'gaslight' approach. "Besides, we're a cute couple, are we not?"
"You can't say you're a couple if you broke up," someone else interrupted. That someone else was Gavin, and he seemed rather annoyed with his teammate.
"Oh, Gavin, thank goodness you're here! This idiot here is trying to win me back," Laura said.
"I can see that," Gavin replied and glared at Derek. "So stay away from her."
"What are you going to do about it?" Derek scoffed, before smirking. "We're in public. You can't just punch a guy at a party and expect that everyone will take your side. Besides, she obviously wants me back."
"She very clearly doesn't," Gavin growled. "So I'm telling you again, stay away from her."
"Stop stalking me," Laura let out. "I will file a restraining order against you."
"Tch, fine," Derek scoffed before glaring back at Gavin. "I will be having a word with the coach about your behavior. I'm sure the coach would be more than happy to kick someone off the team…for threatening another teammate."
"I'm not threatening you with anything. I'm telling you to leave Laura alone," Gavin growled. "It seems like you're trying to threaten me, if anything. And for the record, I'm not scared of you."
"Tch," Derek seemed annoyed at this before storming off.
"Ugh, what a jerk," Laura let out.
"Tell me about it," Gavin agreed, letting out a sigh.
Brayden/Kelly
Brayden was hanging around the party.
Kelly was standing around, looking at the people.
Eventually, Brayden noticed her and walked up to her. "Hello," he greeted.
"Hi," Kelly replied, smiling softly. "Who are you?"
"Brayden," Brayden introduced himself. "And you are?"
"Kelly," Kelly replied. "So uh...nice party right?"
"Yeah," Brayden replied. "I'm enjoying it. Are you?"
"I guess," Kelly shrugged. "Big events usually aren't my thing. Glad you're enjoying yourself though."
"What'd make it better?" Brayden asked. "Maybe a dance on the dance floor?"
Kelly paused. "Maybe later," she replied.
"Alright," Brayden nodded. "I'll talk to you later?"
"Yeah," Kelly nodded. "Later."
Brayden nodded and smiled at her as he walked away.
James/Makenna
As an adult, James was hanging out with other adults that were attending the party. One other adult caught his eye as he approached them.
"What do you want?" Makenna asked him with a raised eyebrow.
James blinked as he looked at her. "The name's James," he began.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Makenna blinked.
"Nothing," James replied formally. "I'm trying to be friendly."
Makenna paused before sighing. "Makenna, that's all you need to know from me."
"Uh, okay?" James blinked. "What else is up?"
"Nothing," Makenna replied.
"Um, okay?" James blinked. "Look, I'm just gonna go…"
"Fine with me," Makenna shrugged.
James gave a small sigh and headed off.
Easton/Ike
Easton was hanging out near the punch bowl, looking at all the party goers.
Ike was also near the punch bowl, getting himself some punch.
"Hey," Easton spoke, looking at Ike.
The other boy looked up with confusion. "Hello?"
"I'm Easton," Easton introduced himself. "I think I've seen you around the campus before."
"I'm Ike," Ike introduced himself. "You're...on the football team right?"
"Yeah," Easton replied with a nod. "Not an easy sport to learn, admittedly."
"I can imagine," Ike chuckled. "What got you into football?"
"Family," Easton replied. "My two older brothers played football. One still plays in college, the other stopped playing after high school. So I've been taught."
"That sounds nice," Ike smiled.
"It is," Easton replied. "It'd be nicer if they stopped bugging me about dating a girl."
"Huh?" Ike blinked. "Surely they're just being supportive."
Easton sighed. "I know they're trying but…" he paused. "It's my last year of college, and I don't know what I want in a romantic partner."
"Well maybe you'll figure it out at some point," Ike responded.
Easton went silent before nodding. "Yeah, at some point."
Nick/Brooklynne
Brooklynne was happily chatting with her brother. Her earrings were sparkling brightly.
The minute Nick saw the earrings, he figured "Hey, I found that Ladybug hero." He walked up to Brooklynne.
"Um, hi?" Brooklynne let out.
"Hi," Nick replied. "You look beautiful with your earrings."
"Oh, um, thanks. I've had them since I was young," Brooklynne blushed furiously. She twirled a lock of her red hair around her finger.
That managed to give Nick a good view of her earrings. "Mind if I…get a closer look?" he asked.
"And why would you want a closer look at my sister's earrings?" Beckett piped up. His protective brother instincts were kicking in.
"Um...why?" Brooklynne asked, confused. "Is something the matter?"
"I just…need a better view," Nick replied, trying to be discreet. He reached out and touched one of the earrings.
The earrings were gorgeous: they were drop-down style. Not regular ones, like the Ladybug earrings. Brooklynne felt her heart beating quickly in her chest.
Dang, they were the wrong kind. Just when he thought he was making progress with figuring out who the heroes could be. Nick moved his hand away from the earrings.
"Well, I guess I should go," Brooklynne said, moving away from him.
Nick reached over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Stay," he insisted.
"I…" Brooklynne let out.
Nick internally smirked to himself. He pulled her a little bit closer to him and-
"Excuse me, what the hell are you doing?!" Beckett yelled out, shoving Nick off of Brooklynne. "What do you think you're doing, huh?! ANSWER ME!"
"Beckett, please! Don't make a scene!" Brooklynne begged her brother.
Beckett nodded and glared at Nick. "You're lucky we're at a party and I don't want a scene. So let me just warn you once again to get the hell away from my sister," he seethed.
"What she had didn't suit my needs anyway," Nick replied vaguely before he walked away.
"That was quite weird…" Brooklynne said, shaking her head, before looking at her brother. "Thanks for saving me."
"It's no problem," Beckett replied. "You're my sister, I'm not going to just let him hurt you."
Brooklynne hugged him. "You're the best brother ever," she said with a smile.
Beckett returned the hug. "Hey, I'm your only brother," he replied with a joking smile.
Brooklynne laughed a bit. "So, do you have your eyes on anyone yet?"
"Well," Beckett blushed a bit. "There's a girl I met. We've been texting a lot."
"Aww! My little brother has a crush!" Brooklynne gushed.
Beckett blushed a deeper shade of red.
"Well, don't just stand there! Go and find her!" Brooklynne grinned.
"Okay, okay," Beckett chuckled, letting go of the hug. "I'm going." he went off to go find the girl he was referring to.
Beckett/Rosa
Rosa would be looking around the party for Beckett. After meeting him at the park, and exchanging numbers with him, she had been texting him quite a lot.
Beckett soon found Rosa and smiled at her. "Hey," he said as he walked up to her.
"Hey," Rosa smiled at him. "I like your suit."
"Thanks," Beckett replied. "I like your dress."
"Thanks. I got it on a cruise in the Caribbean," Rosa replied.
"That sounds nice," Beckett responded.
"It was. Shame I couldn't get tanned, seeing that I'm already tanned," Rosa winked at him.
"Well if you enjoyed yourself, that's what should matter more, right?" Beckett chuckled, blushing a bit at the wink.
"You make a fair point," Rosa giggled. "I hope you're good at dancing."
Beckett blinked for a moment before he realized something. "You want to dance with me?" he asked.
"Yeah. Is something wrong with that?" Rosa looked at him, concerned.
"No," Beckett replied. "Just making sure."
"Alright," Rosa replied back, smiling softly. She felt her heart beat in her chest.
"Let's go," Beckett said, heading to the dance floor.
Rosa followed him onto the dance floor. An upbeat pop song was playing. The Indian girl began to dance, and she was quite graceful.
Beckett also began to dance.
"Okay, I was wrong. You are amazing at dancing, handsome," she winked at him.
"Why thank you," Beckett replied. "You're amazing at dancing as well."
Rosa laughed softly. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Beckett replied with a smile.
Alex/Romeo
Romeo was drinking some cider, smiling.
Alex was wandering around the party, holding a cup of cider in his hand. He eventually saw Romeo and waved.
Romeo noticed him, and winked.
Alex walked over to him. "Is it okay if I stand next to you?" he asked.
"I don't mind," Romeo replied. "You can stand next to me."
"Thanks," Alex said. He took a sip of his cider.
"Nice party, huh?" Romeo asked.
"Yeah, it's pretty nice," Alex agreed.
"I haven't seen you around before," Romeo let out.
"My brother and I just moved here," Alex explained. "He's a lot more adventurous and social than I am."
"Oh?" Romeo let out. "Interesting to know."
Alex nodded. "What about you? How long have you lived here?"
"Long enough," Romeo smiled charmingly. "I'm Romeo."
"I'm Alex," Alex replied. "Nice to meet you, Romeo."
Will/Sydney
Sydney was happily chatting with a few people.
Will had also been talking with a lot of people and was now looking for someone else to talk to. Sydney stood out to him so he decided to approach her.
Sydney excused herself from the people she was talking with, before turning to Will. "Hey, handsome."
"Hey yourself," Will winked at her.
"You're so sexy," Sydney grinned.
"Why thank you, gorgeous," Will responded with a grin.
"I want to make out with you so badly," Sydney let out.
"What's stopping you?" Will asked.
Sydney grinned, grabbing his hand, and bringing him somewhere private.
Grayson/Melanie
"It's about time you came to talk to me." Melanie let out. "I've been waiting."
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting," Grayson replied.
"No matter. I suppose we can sneak away so I can get you out of that suit of yours," Melanie grinned seductively.
"Then let's go find a place where nobody will find us," Grayson suggested with a grin.
"My room's private enough," Melanie smiled.
"Lead the way, then," Grayson told her.
Melanie would lead him to her room, where they would engage in a very passionate love-making session.
Anthony and Audrey
Anthony seemed a bit uncomfortable seeing a few of the couples interact.
Audrey soon noticed Anthony. "You okay, dude?" she asked.
"Yeah, sorry. I'm just a little uncomfortable seeing all of these couples," Anthony replied.
"Ah," Audrey nodded. "I can understand that feeling."
"It's tough being Aromantic," Anthony let out. "But it actually feels kinda nice. No need to worry about girls, boys, or marriage."
"Gotta agree with you there," Audrey responded.
"I'm Anthony, the most unlucky guy out there. Everything seems to go wrong for me. Buses breaking down, elevators breaking down. So much bad luck."
"Damn, that sucks. Sorry to hear that," Audrey replied. "I'm Audrey."
"Nice to meet you." Anthony smiled a little.
"Nice to meet you as well," Audrey replied, smiling a little.
Owen/Daniella
Daniella had stalked away from her annoying twin brother. She was mad that he was going to abuse his power to get one of his teammates kicked off the football team.
Owen was nearby where Daniella was, drinking some cider.
Daniella nearly crushed the plastic cup in her hand with how angry she was.
Owen noticed this and got concerned. He could tell she wasn't okay. "If you don't mind me asking," he decided to ask. "What's making you mad?"
"My annoying twin, Derek," Daniella let out.
"What'd he do?" Owen asked, confused. "If you're okay with me asking."
Daniella sighed, and would tell him.
Owen was wide-eyed at that. "Oh my god…" he trailed off in shock and disgust that someone would do that.
"That's a Stonewall boy for you," Daniella rolled her eyes. "And I have the displeasure of being related to him."
"I'm sorry for you, my condolences," Owen replied.
"It's fine," Daniella said.
Owen wanted to say something among the lines of "Even then, he still sounds like a jerk," but decided against it. Instead, he decided on "If you're sure about that."
Daniella sipped some cider, from the side of the cup that wasn't broken.
"I'm Owen, by the way," Owen stated.
"Daniella," she replied.
"Nice to meet you Daniella," Owen replied.
"You as well." Daniella nodded.
Flint would soon go into a secret room, and would make a group chat between himself, and three others. To lure them. They would be sent to Alexandria, Will, and Jude. After he did so, he smirked over at Flipp, who looked terrified. "Flipp, Dark Lights On."
Flipp would be absorbed into the tie pin, transforming the man into Luciénaga.
Will and Jude both got the text on their phones, both confused but somewhat interested. They went to the room they were told to go to.
Alexandria would be confused about getting the message, but she would meet the two men in the room she was told to go to.
"This is so strange," Alexandria let out.
"Yeah, it is," Jude agreed. "I wonder what the message was for."
Suddenly, Luciérnaga would enter the room.
"What the-?" Will seemed confused. "Who're you?"
"Someone that you'll be agreeing to very soon," Luciérnaga responded darkly.
"What do you mean by that?" Jude asked.
Luciérnaga would simply show them the charm, which would instantly captivate the attention of Alexandria.
The charm also captivated the attention of Will and Jude.
"Now, you three will join my army," Luciérnaga said.
"Yes…" Alexandria let out.
Will nodded absentmindedly, the words processing in his head.
"Of course…" Jude said simply.
Luciérnaga smirked, throwing out the Raven Miraculous to Alexandria, the Spider Miraculous to Will, and the Porcupine Miraculous to Jude. "Put them on," he commanded.
Without a second thought, Will immediately put the Spider Miraculous on and was covered by the dark magic. Jude also put the Porcupine Miraculous on, also getting covered by dark magic not long after he put it on.
Alexandria would put on the Raven Miraculous, soon being covered completely by the dark magic.
Luciérnaga would laugh. "Now, rise from your corruptions! Corvo, Redback, and Puercoespín!"
Soon, the dark magic faded, revealing Puercoespín. His hair had turned spiky, and he was wearing a brown bodysuit with a light brown belly. The spike design on the back of his bodysuit was almost metallic. He had a brown mask around his eyes and a bow and arrow as his weapon.
When the magic faded for Redback, it revealed that his eyes had turned red and he wore a dark purple mask with three red spots on each side. He had a deep purple bodysuit with four robotic spider legs attached to his back. He had a bronze knuckle as his weapon.
When the magic faded away from Corvo, she had midnight blue-black hair, with navy blue eyes, and a very deep blue bodysuit with wings on her back. She had a dagger as her weapon. Her mask was a dark navy blue.
"Finally, I can feel the power surging through me!" Corvo let out, with a wicked laugh.
"It's amazing!" Redback agreed, snickering deviously. Puercoespín didn't let out a laugh or make a comment of any kind, he just gave a malicious smirk.
Luciérnaga smirked. "You'll soon be joined by my other minions."
"Can't wait for Skye to see me now," Puercoespín stated with a smirk still on his face.
"Oh, I can't wait to show dear Hazel my new look," Corvo grinned.
"Sydney's gonna be so frightened to see the new me," Redback commented with a grin. "I'm gonna love seeing the terror on her face."
"That's what I like to hear," Luciérnaga let out, before silently messaging his other minions to transform.
Sydney
Sydney would be looking around for Will, as he had disappeared so suddenly after their makeout session.
Redback was on the ceiling, the robotic spider legs holding him up. He wanted to make the first time she saw him make her feel a lot of fear, and what better way than by jumping down from the ceiling?
"Ugh, where is that boy?" Sydney let out. "He couldn't have left without giving me his number!"
Redback jumped down from the ceiling and landed behind Sydney, also managing to land on his feet.
Sydney gasped, turning around. "Huh? Who the heck are you?"
"Oh come on now," Redback gave a sinister grin. "Don't tell me you don't recognize me."
Sydney gasped a little. "Will?!"
"It's Redback now," the villain declared.
"What the hell happened to you? What's made you do this?" Sydney let out, scared.
"I got power, Sydney," Redback answered. "And I've never felt better."
Sydney was afraid. "Will…snap out of it, please."
"Oh, honey," Redback replied, his grin turning into a smirk. "Will's gone. It's Redback from now on."
Sydney was completely scared.
Skye
Skye hadn't noticed Jude's disappearance just yet.
Puercoespín was waiting in the shadows, waiting to make his presence known to Skye.
Skye soon noticed a weird shadowy figure. "Um, the lights are on, you know," she said.
"I prefer the dark," Puercoespín answered. "Why don't you come closer, Starlight?"
Skye's eyes widened at the nickname. Only one person called her that. "Jude?"
"It's actually Puercoespín now," the Porcupine villain declared.
"What the hell?" Skye let out. She raised her fists. "What's happened to you?"
"I got a taste of power and how amazing it feels," Puercoespín answered.
"This is crazy," Skye let out.
"What's the matter? Do you not like my new look?" Puercoespín asked. "Because it's here to stay."
Skye stepped away fearfully.
Hazel
Corvo was waiting up above to scare the woman of her dreams.
Hazel was looking around for Alexandria. She was confused as to why the other woman had vanished suddenly after their dance.
"Looking for someone?" Corvo would ask darkly.
Hazel gasped and looked up, noticing Corvo. "Who..who are you?" she asked.
"Aww, I'm surprised you don't recognize me," Corvo smirked.
Hazel soon gasped in realization. "Alexandria…?" she whispered. She was feeling a range of emotions right now, and none of them were positive. Most importantly, she was mostly scared and confused.
"Your girlfriend's gone for good now, and Corvo has taken her place," the Raven villain let out.
"How did this happen?" Hazel asked.
"Let's just say I got a taste of power," Corvo let out.
"Taste of power?" Hazel repeated, scared now.
"I'm your worst nightmare now, sweetie. Be prepared," Corvo grinned.
Hazel was scared now.
Meanwhile, the other villains had transformed, and they began to cause chaos. Melanie gasped seeing all of them. "Holy hell."
Grayson was terrified. "This is bad…" he said.
"It's all of the others!" Melanie was afraid. "There's 8 of them!"
"How did they get here?" Grayson asked, terrified.
"I dunno, but we need to hide. Now," Melanie let out.
Grayson nodded in agreement and went to hide in an unused closet. Once he was in the closet, he transformed into Nigrum Cattus.
Melanie ran to her room, to transform into Coccinella, and hurried to find Master Fu. They would need a lot of help during this intense battle. She would grab the Turtle Miraculous, along with the Fox Miraculous, the Tiger Miraculous, and the Peacock Miraculous, hoping that Honeycomb would be able to transform to help them out.
Lucille would use her wheelchair to go hide. "Perhaps I can find a champion…I'm not sure who, but I have to at least try."
Nooroo would come out of his hiding spot. "Do your thing, Lucille!"
"Nooroo, Light Wings Rise!" Lucille let out, as Nooroo would be absorbed into the brooch, as she transformed into Mariposa, wearing a gorgeous violet dress with a silver mask over her eyes. Her hair would be braided, with violet highlights. She would be sitting on a throne in different shades of purple. She took out her cane, and let out a butterfly from the top of it.
"Come here, my sweet butterfly," she said, as the butterfly flew over to the hero, landing in her hand. Mariposa would then kiss the butterfly, turning it into a Kamiko.
"Go, my little Kamiko, and find a pure soul willing to help us in this big battle!" she let out, twirling her cane.
In another hiding spot, Pollen would come out and look over at Kelly.
"My queen, you've got to transform!" Pollen let out.
"You're right," Kelly let out, still a bit intimidated at the prospect of fighting eight villains at once. "Pollen, buzz on!"
With that, Pollen would be absorbed into the hair comb, and Kelly would be transformed into Honeycomb.
Honeycomb soon left the hiding spot, to see if there was another hero around to help with fighting the villains.
Coccinella would soon find Beckett, and smile at him. "Would you like to help us, young man?" she asked.
Beckett didn't need to think twice about the question. "Of course," he answered quickly.
Coccinella would open up her yo-yo and took out the turtle Miraculous. "Then here is the Miraculous of the Turtle, which grants the power of protection. You will use it for the greater good."
Beckett nodded, taking the box and opening it.
A green light would appear from the bracelet.
The jock immediately shielded his eyes from the bright light.
Soon after, a small turtle-like creature appeared. "Hello, my name is Wayzz," he introduced, bowing his head slightly.
Beckett raised an eyebrow, clearly confused. "Uh…what?" he blinked. "What are you, exactly?"
"I am a Kwami, and I grant you superpowers," Wayzz answered.
"Right, okay," Beckett replied, still a bit confused but overall willing to accept that answer. He put the bracelet on.
"To transform, all you have to say is 'Wayzz, Shell On!'" the kwami exclaimed.
"Got it! Wayzz, Shell On!" Beckett exclaimed.
Wayzz would be absorbed into the bracelet, as Beckett's transformation into a superhero would begin.
His costume would be a green bodysuit with armor, and a green mask around his eyes. The shield was on his back, acting as a turtle's shell.
"Perfect, welcome aboard, uh…" Coccinella let out. "What should we call you?"
"Just call me Tortue Verde," he answered.
"Wonderful, go ahead and find Honeycomb. She might need some help," Cocinella said.
"Got it," Tortue Verde nodded before heading off.
Coccinella had given Nigrum Cattus the Tiger Miraculous, so he could find someone to help.
Meanwhile, Sydney would be running scared as Redback would be attacking her friends.
Nigrum Cattus noticed her and decided she would be helpful in the mission. He approached her.
"Oh!" Sydney turned around. "You're that cat hero, Nigrum Cattus! I'm such a fan," she swooned.
"Thanks," Nigrum Cattus replied before seeing the spider villain out of the corner of his eye. "So, would you like to help me and Coccinella?"
"I'll do anything to save Will," Sydney nodded.
"Then here is the Miraculous of the Tiger, which grants the power of Elation. You will use it for the greater good," Nigrum Cattus said, holding out the box.
"Whoa, so cool!" Sydney let out as she took the box and opened it, to reveal the Panjas bracelet.
A light soon came from the Panjas bracelet.
"Whoa!" Sydney covered her eyes to avoid getting blinded by the light.
Once the light had faded, a small tiger-like creature had appeared in front of Sydney.
"Oh my god, what are you, some kind of fairy?" Sydney asked.
"I'm a Kwami! My name is Roaar," the Kwami greeted.
"So cool!" Sydney let out, putting the Panjas bracelet on.
"To transform, all you have to say is 'Roaar, Stripes On!'"
"Roaar, Stripes ON!" Sydney let out, as she would transform into a tiger heroine. She would wear a strong crimson swan-necked superhero outfit with a pale, light grayish fuchsia front, back of her arms, and palms of her hands and fingers which ended at the middle of her shins, with boots with pale, light grayish fuchsia toe caps resembling paws and golden soles. The suit has dark cerise lace stripes with similar patterns to her lace gloves. Her collar is outlined in gold with a zipper at the front. Her right hand, where she wears the Tiger Miraculous, sports a bejeweled black glove with swirling gold lines and feline-like fingers with golden claws. She had strong crimson ears with pale, light grayish fuchsia insides, like Cat Noir's, in her hair, which is violet with deep fuchsia highlights, which is bound in a ponytail. Her eyes are a brilliant orange with light yellow sclerae, with a strong crimson, black bordered mask which bears pale, light grayish fuchsia marks on her eyelids and eyebrows. She also has dark grayish blue-violet lipstick. At her waist is the bolas, a long whip-like tool with three weighted striped balls at the end. It is worn like a belt with a gold ring in the center. She would pose at the end of her transformation.
"Welcome to the team, uh…" Nigrum Cattus trailed off.
"You can call me Tigress, cutie," she winked.
"Great, welcome aboard Tigress!" Nigrum Cattus replied. "Go and help anyone who seems to be fighting one of these villains."
"You've got it," Tigress winked again, before heading off.
A couple of moments later, Coccinella had recruited Skye with the Fox Miraculous, who wore an orange and white bodysuit, with fake fox ears, an orange and white mask over her eyes, and a fox tail. Her eyes had changed orange, and became fox-like. The flute would be on her back. She would go by the name Kitsune. The ladybug heroine would also go over to Hazel.
"You want to free your friend, right?"
"Of course I do," Hazel answered.
"Then here is the Miraculous of the Peacock, which grants the power of Emotion. You will use it for the greater good," Coccinella said, holding out the brooch.
Hazel took the brooch and looked it over.
A blue light would soon come from the brooch.
Hazel let out a gasp of shock, shielding her eyes from the blue light.
"Yahoo!" a voice let out after the light faded. It would soon reveal itself to be a brilliant phthalo blue creature and is 10 centimeters tall. She has a small pale, light grayish cerise circle on the center of her forehead and matching eyes with deep cobalt blue sclerae. The mouth is a dark magenta and contains rows of teeth on the top and the bottom. Her tail, reminiscent of that of a real peacock, contains five feathers. The eyes of the feathers are brilliant orchid, with a black interior and a dark blue exterior. She also has three feathers coming out from behind her head, the central one of which is longer than those to its left and right. "Hiya! My name's Duusu, and I'm your Kwami!"
"What's a Kwami?" Hazel asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I grant you superpowers! You have the powers to create a sentimonster, which can help Coccinella and her allies in battle!" Duusu exclaimed cheerfully.
"Alright," Hazel nodded, putting the brooch on.
"Yahoo! This is gonna be so much fun! All you have to say is 'Duusuu, Spread My Feathers!'"
"Duusu, Spread My Feathers!" Hazel exclaimed.
Duusu would be absorbed into the brooch.
She wore a dark blue bodysuit, with lighter blue accents. Her costume had a fuzzy indigo-colored collar as well. The costume also contained a light indigo belt, which held the fan.
"Alright, what should we call you?" Coccinella asked.
"Pavona," she answered.
"Welcome to the team, Pavona. Go ahead and help Honeycomb with her battle, I'll come and join you," Coccinella said.
Pavona nodded and went off to see if she could find Honeycomb.
The Kamiko would be flying around to find a person who could help in the battle.
Nate was trying to hide from the villains.
The Kamiko would soon approach Nate, fluttering down to his belt, and absorbing into it, transporting Nate into a regal throne room.
"What the-" Nate blinked, looking around the throne room in confusion.
"Hello, young man," Mariposa smiled at him. "I sense a pure soul in you. Would you like to help take down these villains?"
"Of course," Nate nodded.
"Shapeshifter, with your belt, you'll be able to transform into anything that can help you to win this fight. All I ask from you is to try and get the objects corrupting these young souls, and help return them to normal. Can you do that?" Mariposa asked.
"I can try," Nate responded.
"Then, rise, Shapeshifter! And go and find Coccinella and Nigrum Cattus!" Mariposa let out, as the throne room disappeared.
Shapeshifter had a black bodysuit with a belt that would help him shapeshift. He went off to go find the heroes. He also had slicked back hair, and wore a black mask.
Kitsune would be in the middle of a fight with Puercoespín. She would use her flute as a way to block his attacks.
"You have to stop this! You're not yourself right now!" she begged.
"What do you mean I'm not myself?" the porcupine villain questioned. "I'm pretty sure I am myself."
"No, this isn't you!" Kitsune let out. "Please, you have to trust me!"
"Why would I?" Puercoespín questioned, getting ready to launch an arrow.
"Fine then. You leave me with no other choice." Kitsune would play a tune on her flute. "Mirage!" She would summon about 90 mirages of herself. "Can you find the real me?"
"What the- that's not fair!" he whined, before launching his arrow at a random mirage. It would not hit the real Kitsune.
"You snooze, you loose," she and all the other clones taunted.
Tigress would be in a fight with Redback, using her bolas to fight. "Sorry, cutie, but I'm here to stop you."
Redback chuckled sinisterly. "I'm not sure you'll be able to," he responded.
"And why's that?" Tigress growled. "I'm a hero."
"The heroes never win," Redback answered. "That's why."
"Apparently, they've caused you and your pathetic friends to have to retreat," Tigress giggled. "Sorry, not sorry."
Redback growled, throwing a punch with the bronze knuckle.
Tigress dodged. "Missed me!"
"Ugh, we're gonna need some luck somehow," Coccinella growled as she dodged an attack from Grifone Malvagio. "Any ideas, Nigrum Cattus?"
"Maybe try using your power?" he suggested, also dodging an attack from Fuego.
"Lucky Charm!" she called out, tossing her yo-yo into the air. Magical ladybugs would surround her yo-yo, before an object dropped into her hand. "Guitar strings? What can I do with this?"
"That's an unusual Lucky Charm," Kitsune let out.
"Maybe it could trip them up somehow?" Nigrum Cattus suggested.
Cocinella would nod. "Alright, let's try and work something out. "Tortue Verde, you'll have to protect us somehow so we don't get hit by their attacks."
"Got it!" Tortue Verde nodded.
"Now where's Mariposa's champion?" Coccinella wondered.
"Right here," a voice let out, that voice belonging to Shapeshifter.
Coccinella jumped in shock. "Goodness, you frightened me!"
"My apologies," Shapeshifter apologized. "So, what's the plan?"
"We're gonna have to trip them all up somehow," Cocinella responded. "I don't know how, but we've got to do something."
"Are you losers gonna surrender?" Pájaro taunted.
"We'll never surrender!" Coccinella yelled.
"I'd give up now while you can," Lupo Scuro remarked with a grin.
"Not a chance," Nigrum Cattus replied, frowning.
Corvo laughed wickedly at this. "Aww, you're gonna lose," she taunted. "We're much more powerful than you all, and we're stronger."
"We're strong too," Coccinella yelled. "And plus, we're evenly matched! We can beat you!"
"Oh really?" Pájaro taunted. "How lame, right guys?"
"Yeah, it's so lame," Corvo laughed wickedly. "Let's attack them."
And so, the battle began. Kitsune would be going up against Puercoespín, fighting him with all her enhanced strength. Tigress would be fighting against Redback, while Pavona was stuck in a fight with Corvo.
Rosa meanwhile, was hiding, her head in her hands, and she was trembling.
There were faint footsteps near where Rosa was located. Suddenly, Lupo Scuro picked her up and grabbed her tightly.
"Let go of me!" Rosa screamed, trying to struggle.
"No can do," the wolf villain remarked.
"No!" Coccinella noticed Lupo Scuro grabbing a hostage, as she was fighting against Libellula. "Tortue Verde! Save the hostage!"
"Got it!" Tortue Verde exclaimed as he went to fight Lupo Scuro and save Rosa.
The young woman's eyes were shut, as she was crying in fear. "P-please…don't hurt me!"
"As I said, princess," Lupo Scuro repeated, his tone taunting, "no can do. You'll just have to sit and watch your little heroes fa-"
He couldn't finish his sentence as a green shield hit him on the side of the head. It was enough for him to let go of her as he rubbed the side of his head.
Rosa gasped at this, as she hurried to find another hiding spot.
"Who did that?" Lupo Scuro growled, turning to find an equally angry, if not angrier, Tortue Verde standing there, after catching his shield.
"You don't get to call her princess," the turtle hero replied, still seething.
"Who are you? Her boyfriend?" Lupo Scuro spat, both annoyed and slightly confused.
"A douchebag such as yourself doesn't deserve to call her a princess."
"How adorable," Lupo Scuro drawled. "So adorable it makes me sick." His expression turned to a feral grin. "Maybe she'll get a front row seat to your defeat!" With that, he began fighting with Tortue Verde.
Nigrum Cattus would be busy in a fight with Fuego.
While this was all happening, Luciérnaga would be watching in his room. He growled. This fight was intense. But he knew that his villains had to fall back.
"LUCKY CHARM!" Coccinella shouted, throwing her yo-yo into the air. Magical ladybugs would surround the yo-yo, before an object dropped into her hand. It would be a paintball gun.
"This is a large lucky charm," Coccinella let out.
"What do we do with that?" Nigrum Cattus let out, still fighting with Fuego.
"I'm not sure…" Coccinella replied, as she looked around, trying to figure out what to do with it.
"Minions, fall back. We need more time to plan our next attack." Luciérnaga would communicate telepathically with his villains.
Libuella smirked. "I guess this is goodbye for now, heroes. We'll be back. One day. Come on, team, let's move out." With that, she would head off.
"Again?" Nigrum Cattus blinked as the rest of the villains headed off.
"Cowards, I tell you," Tortue Verde remarked angrily, gripping his shield.
"Well, we'll be ready for them," Coccinella said.
From afar, Mariposa would snap her fingers, releasing the Kamiko from Shapeshifter.
Once the Kamiko was released, Nate felt the transformation fade. He was relieved the fight was over, but also grateful that he'd been able to help the heroes in the battle.
"Alright, thanks for all the help everyone," Coccinella said. "We should probably find a place of our own as headquarters."
"When should we start looking?" Nigrum Cattus asked.
"Hopefully as soon as possible," Coccinella replied. "The new members of the team, you can keep your Miraculouses. But make sure you do not tell anybody your identities. We don't want Luciérnaga and the others finding out." She would then throw up the paintball gun. "MIRACULOUS COCCINELLA!"
The magical ladybugs would go around the mansion, fixing up all of the damage that had been done.
Villain HQ
Luciérnaga growled. "Well, that failed. You guys can detransform, and you're dismissed for today."
"I don't know about the rest of you," Lupo Scuro began as he detransformed back into Nick. "But I thought I did a pretty good job with my fight today."
"You were hit on the head by a shield," Puercoespín remarked with an eye roll, detransforming back into Jude. "You didn't exactly have the greatest fight out there."
"Are you calling me a liar?" Nick asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Gentlemen." Libuella let out, detransforming back into Brittany. "There's no need to fight. We're on the same side."
Nick looked between Brittany and Jude for a moment before sighing. "Fine. I won't start a fight."
Corvo would detransform back into Alexandria. "I mean, we can go back to the people we were with, to try and seduce them. To avoid suspicion."
"Well, if you keep your Miraculouses hidden, that'll work," Brittany would nod at Alexandria.
"Should be easy enough," Alexandria smirked, looking over at Redback. "I'm sure your crush will be happy to see that you're okay."
"I'm sure of that too," Redback replied, detransforming back into Will. "I mean, I have a certain charm that makes me irresistible." He flexed a bicep, as though trying to prove his point.
Brittany rolled her eyes a bit. "Sure thing, Mr. Bicep."
All of the villains would soon leave the room.
Sydney
The young woman detransformed, and would quickly have Roaar hide in her purse. She would be looking around for Will.
Will was walking around the party. He was looking for Sydney.
Sydney would soon notice him. "There you are! What happened?!" She would hurry over to him. "You just disappeared!"
"I'm fine now," Will replied. "I was worried about you, gorgeous."
"You were worried?" Sydney blushed a little.
"Of course I was, beautiful," he responded, giving her a flirtatious smile.
"My, my…you're very charming," Sydney flirted. "Shall we go back to what we were doing before you disappeared like that?"
"Of course," Will answered with a wink.
Sydney jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist. "I hope you don't mind this," she smirked flirtatiously.
"I don't mind at all," he replied, a flirtatious smirk of his own on his face.
Sydney grinned as she kissed him deeply.
Will returned the kiss.
Cooper and Lucille
Mariposa detransformed back into Lucille, wheeling out of her hiding spot. She would give Nooroo his food, before having him hide in her purse.
Cooper came out of his hiding spot.
Lucille soon noticed Cooper. "Oh, thank goodness you're safe!"
"I was worried about you!" Cooper replied. "I'm glad you're safe."
"Oh, thank you, Cooper," Lucille blushed a bit.
"You're welcome," Cooper replied, smiling at her.
Lucille smiled back at him. "Any plans coming up in the next few days?"
"My birthday party is coming up," Cooper answered.
"Oh, how lovely!" Lucille smiled.
"Thanks," Cooper replied. "I was wondering if you'd be interested in going?"
"I'd be honored," Lucille smiled. "I'll get you a present. Anything in particular?"
"Preferably an album from my favorite band," Cooper replied.
"Fall Out Boy, right?" Lucille asked.
"Yeah, that's right," Cooper replied, blushing faintly.
"You wouldn't stop going on and on about them during our tutoring sessions," Lucille smiled sweetly.
Cooper's blush became a bit more noticeable.
Lucille noticed this. "Are you okay? Your face is red."
"Oh, yeah, sorry," Cooper replied, clearing his throat. "I'm okay." He smiled at her.
"What a relief," Lucille sighed.
Brayden
Luciérnaga would send him a message. "Come to HQ tomorrow morning. I have a plan for our next villain." The firefly villain would send him a file on a young woman, named Jasmine Williams. "She will be perfect for the Chameleon Miraculous."
Brayden looked at the file he received. "Seems perfect to me," he thought to himself.
"What are you looking at?" Kelly asked, curiosity getting the better of her as she tried to see what he'd been looking at.
Brayden, however, quickly hid the file and put his phone in his pocket. "Nothing you need to worry about," he told her with a charming smile. "It's not important."
Only, it was important to him and the rest of the villains, but he wasn't about to tell her that.
