Once upon a time…
In a mysterious land…
Of Paris, France…
There lived a miraculous team of superheroes that defended their land from the dark forces…
One day, they had just defeated a frightening wizard…
Scene: TVi News report.
It was raining in Paris, and TVi News was reporting an event that had just happened recently.
"Welcome. The M-Team have saved Paris once again," Nadja reported as the scene of the four heroes waving a cheering crowd with Sky Falcon doing a finger gun gesture. Cat Noir then secretly placed a hand on Ladybug's shoulder, who quickly shrugged it off, "Jean Duparc was akumatized into the very menacing Magician of Misfortune, threatening to make the Eiffel Tower vanish in a puff of smoke."
Scene: Collège Françoise Dupont.
Sky Falcon with Ladybug and Gray Wolf in his arms swooped down into the school while avoiding detection as they made their way to the locker room where they detransformed.
"Just in time. If we hurry, we can make it to Ms. Mendeleiev's class," said Toby, already taking his bag from his locker. Marinette and Camilla did the same and as the twins made a dash out of the locker room, Marinette who was behind them heard Tikki sneeze inside her purse.
Marinette quickly opened her purse and found Tikki shivering inside of it. "Tikki, you don't look well."
"I need you to take me to a doctor," she said.
"But where am I gonna find a doctor for kwamis?"
"I know a healer. I'll tell you where to go."
"But what will I tell him?" Marinette asked. "You're a secret; he'll get all suspicious and ask me questions—" She groaned when she remembered what time it was. "And I know someone else who is gonna ask an awful lot of questions: my teacher! Tikki, can I take you to the healer right after school?"
Tikki nodded and then sneezed.
"Thank you."
Marinette then ran after them.
Scene: Ms. Mendeleiev's classroom.
As Ms. Mendeleiev was about teaching her science class which was Marinette's class that was settling down, she raised her countdown timer watch which was currently counting down in five seconds and just as it reached zero, Marinette and the twins burst through the door but stumbled into a heap, surprising the class. The science teacher then glanced at them.
"Perfect timing as I expected, I noticed it's not a coincidence that the three of you would always arrive at the same time," said Ms. Mendeleiev as the three were getting up, "So is there something you've been doing?"
"Uh, no! Of course not. I had to, uh, help the twins take Connor… to the vet! Because he… ate an entire wool sweater," said Marinette, coming up with an excuse that earned looks from the twins and multiple gasps, the loudest being from Rose.
"What Marinette meant is…" Camilla said, mentally glaring at Marinette, "...Connor tried eating a scarf but choked really bad when he was halfway."
"Yeah, It was really messed up," added Toby.
"I'm not gonna complain because you arrived on time so please don't make this a habit," said Ms. Mendeleiev.
"Yes, Ma'am," said the three of them as they made their way to their seats. Marinette took a seat next to Alya who asked skeptically, "Ate a sweater?"
The twins walked to their seats when they were passing the seats where Juleka and Rose were sitting.
"Is he alright?" asked Rose.
"Yeah, he is," replied Camilla as Toby nodded in agreement.
They took their seats as Ms. Mendeleiev started teaching. A timeskip later, the science teacher was still giving a lecture
"Combustion is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant. Usually atmospheric oxygen…"
Rose was a little bit more focused on a news report on her cell phone.
"Today, Prince Ali, heir to the throne of the kingdom of Achu, will do the honors during his official Parisian visit by hosting a toy fundraiser for the sick children at the Paris City Children's Hospital," Nadja reported.
"He's just so gorgeous and with a heart of gold," said Rose, wiping her eyes with a tissue handed to her by Juleka and then blowing her nose. Juleka then handed her yet another tissue. "Oh! You know what? I'm gonna write him a letter professing my complete adoration and utmost respect."
She then quickly began pulling out a piece of paper and began writing the said letter.
"So, can anyone give me an example of Combustion?"
Toby raised his hand up.
"Toby."
"An explosion of hydrogen in the air," he said.
"That is correct," said Ms. Mendeleiev.
It was then that Rose decided to spray perfume on her letter, catching the attention of Ms Mendeleiev.
"Thank you, Rose. But I don't think our classroom needs extra refreshing," she said and made her way over to Rose.
"I thought someone packed a tuna fish sandwich, but it turns out it's Rose's perfume," Chloé laughed.
Ms Mendeleiev gestured to Rose to hand over the perfume, and she complied. "Furthermore, using your smartphone during school hours is strictly forbidden." Rose then gave her her phone and her hands-free. "Take the rest of your things and go to the principal's office."
Disappointed, Rose took her things and started to walk out of the classroom.
Ms Mendeleiev made her way back in front and faced her class. "Watch what happens when you play about with flammable substances in a chemistry lab."
She squeezed some of the perfume into a glass container with an open bottom. She then sat upright over the Bunsen burner and pushed down on the button to create a small flame, but within seconds, there was a small explosion within the container.
The students gasped.
"Just to make sure you all remember that I'll be quizzing you tomorrow on lab safety. Again!" said Ms Mendeleiev.
Scene: Outside Collège Françoise Dupont.
Nino and Toby were waiting for Adrian, who ran up to him completely out of breath while the girls were watching them from behind.
"You two really are made for each other," said Alya as she and Marinette watched Adrian arrive. "On occasions, it's either one of you that can make it to school on time. Since he missed chemistry class, it would be sweet if some lady could lend him her notes so he could get up to speed."
"You're right," Marinette giggled and soon realized she was referring to her. "Oh, you mean for me to give him my notes!" Marinette looked down at her purse, remembering that Tikki was still ill. "No, I can't. I-I—"
"Girl, your fake excuses don't work on me," said Alya.
Tikki then sneezed.
"Huh?" Alya frowned.
"Achoo!" said Marinette quickly. "I think I'm getting sick."
"I think she's serious," said Camilla, looking at Marinette.
"Then don't breathe on him," said Alya pointing at Adrian.
Marinette sighed and started to make her way towards him.
Tiki sneezed again, and Marinette opened her purse to look at her. "I'm not feeling too good."
"Don't worry, Tikki, it'll just take a sec—"
Marinette was so focused on Tiki she was watching where she was going tripped over someone's bag. The end result was that Tikki flung out of the purse, and Marinette crashed into Adrian.
"Woah! You okay?" Adrian asked. "Nothing broken?"
"Uh, yeah, uh, I'm fine," Marinette assured him.
Toby was staring at her unconvinced. Adrian then left with Nino, and Marinette suddenly realized that Tikki wasn't in her purse.
"Marinette…" said Tikki weakly.
Camilla had already seen her and was making her way towards her when she saw both Chloé and Sabrina walking over, and Tikki quickly pretended to be a plush toy.
"Sabrina, what's Prince Ali doing today again?" Chloé asked.
"A toy drive at the Children's Hospital," said Sabrina.
Chloé looked down and saw Tikki on the floor and picked her up. "Hm, what kind of stuffed animal is this? Who left this here?" Chloé gasped when she got an idea. "The Prince will never have seen one like this before, and when he lays eyes on me, Prince Ali will forget all about those sick kids."
She placed Tikki in her bag, and her limousine rolled up in front of her.
"D-did I hear you say, Prince Ali?" Rose asked, approaching her.
Chloé narrowed her eyes. "Not to you."
"Prince Ali's staying at Chloé's dad's hotel," Sabrina explained.
"The only hotel fit for a Prince, and I'm going to be the first to meet him. Isn't he lucky?"
"Oh, please, could you give him a special letter for me?" Rose asked, handing her a letter.
"No prob," said Chloé, much to everyone's surprise.
"Oh, that is so amazingly sweet of you to do that for me," said Rose excitedly.
Chloé laughed. "You thought I was serious? You think I wanna get anywhere near this fish funk?"
She then ripped the letter into pieces. Rose gasped and then burst into tears as Chloé stepped into her limo, leaving Rose crying on the ground.
Marinette was still looking around for Tikki, knowing she could have gotten far. "Tikki?" Marinette then heard Chloé laugh and saw that she was holding Tikki as her limo was pulling away. "Chloé, wait up! That's my… my…"
"Not anymore," Chloé laughed. "Finders keepers."
"Hey, Chloe! That doesn't belong to you!" Camilla objected.
"Or you," said Chloe as she then laughed.
"Tikki…" Marinette said to herself.
"Oh, this is bad, this is bad," Camilla said, "Mari, we're gonna-"
She was cut off by Marinette grabbing her jacket and pulling her down to her eye level, surprising her, "We're gonna follow Chloé and rescue Tikki right now!"
"Yeah, what she said," said Luupa who was on Camilla's shoulder, "I heard sneezing. Was it from you or Tikki?"
"It was Tikki and she's sick," said Marinette as she released Camilla who was confused.
"Kwamis get sick?"
I'll explain it to you on the way," said Marinette as she pulled Camilla into a sprint.
Scene: Seine river bank.
A heartbroken Rose along with a concerned Toby who decided to tag along were walking along the riverbank as they both sat on a bench. Toby couldn't help but feel sorry for her and seeing her cry is like seeing a baby cry- well, not that she is, but don't tell her I said that.
"Rose?"
She looked up at him with a tear stained face, giving him her attention.
"What happened back there stays back there," he spoke softly as he placed a clenched fist on her collarbone, "Chloé doesn't speak for the prince, she speaks for nobody. Prince Ali is not like her, it's the opposite even. Knowing him, he would never hate you, especially not for a good reason. Whatever you wrote in that 'fish funk', he would've loved it and that means now, you can write it again and maybe, I can find a way to pass it to him."
Rose let His words sink in and was staring into his eyes as she became conflicted.
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.
Hawk Moth could sense her sadness from his lair and began to open the window.
"Ooh, now there's a broken-hearted princess if ever I saw one. Every rose has its thorns," he laughed and began turning a butterfly into an akuma. "Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize her."
He then released the akuma as it flew out the window.
Scene: Bench.
Tears were starting to well up in Rose's eyes, not because of Toby's pep talk, but because of the wave of emotions that flooded her mind. Toby noticed this and pulled her into a warm hug as she broke down in tears while he was patting her back, calming her down.
"Shhh, It's okay, everything's okay."
What they failed to notice was the akuma that had entered the perfume bottle she was holding. It was when Toby noticed she stopped crying as he pulled away only to see the light halo over her face.
"Princess Fragrance, I am Hawk Moth," said Hawk Moth telepathically. "Your perfume is now your secret weapon. No one will be able to resist it, especially Prince Ali. All I want from you in exchange are Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous and the defeat of the M-Team."
"I'm coming, my prince!" Rose sang.
Toby quickly had to run for cover as she began to transform into Princess Fragrance.
Her skin was now green and her hair pink, which was tied back into a rosebud-like bun and detailed with black horizontal lines and black leaves around the bottom half. A black tube came out of the top of the bun and hung down to the back of her knees, and the end of her hair was tied with a black band. Some black paint is around her upper face and over her eyes with a swirl below her left eye, like a mask. She also has luminous, vivid cerise-coloured lipstick.
Her outfit was a dark mulberry turtlenecked skin-tight suit covering her arms and legs. Narrow pink lines go down her puffed sleeves and cuffed shorts, making a rose design on her chest. Her high-heeled shoes were connected to her suit, and they were the same color as her suit, with pink cone-shaped heels and pointed pink tips to her toes.
From behind a bush, Toby was watching Princess Fragrance as she was looking around before taking her perfume gun and walked away. When the coast was clear,he slumped in depression as he failed to prevent Rose from getting akumatized. Breeze then flew out of his hood.
"Come on Bro, loosen the long face. We need that hyped up energy to defeat her."
The Falcon Miraculous holder then brought out his phone as he texted the others about the imminent threat. After that, he put it away.
"Yeah, I think we should."
"Okay, but before we do so, can we quickly-"
"No, the meatloaf will have to wait. Breeze! Take Flight!"
Breeze flew into his cuff bracelet, glowing with gray energy as he transformed into Sky Falcon.
Scene: Outside Le Grand Paris.
Marinette and Camilla had finally reached Le Grand Paris and made their way up to the doorman.
"Hello! We're in Chloé Bourgeois class, and we really have to see her," Camilla said.
"Are you friends of hers?" he asked.
"Friends of Chloé's? Ha, you must be kidding!" Marinette said and quickly caught herself. "I mean— we're in the same class, that's all."
"If you're not a friend, then I can't."
"Actually, we're Chloé's acquaintances and we have a lot in common, doesn't she tell you about us?"
"Hmm…" the doorman smirked, leaning towards them. "No, she doesn't, meaning she doesn't have acquaintances."
"Does that mean you're not letting us in?" Marinette asked
"No!"
The both of them left defeated and then walked into an alleyway, "That didn't work as planned."
"Then it's Plan B," said Camilla as she looked around and then raised her silver ring, "Luupa! It's Full Moon!"
Luupa flew into her ring, glowing with sky blue energy as she transformed into Gray Wolf. After it was complete, she brought out her bow and shot a grapple hook towards the roof, "You might wanna hang on tight."
Marinette then held onto her as they scaled the wall of the hotel.
Meanwhile, Princess Fragrance was approaching the doorman.
"I've come to see Prince Ali," she said to the doorman.
"Ugh, what is going on today?" he sighed. "Do you have an appointment with the Prince?"
"No need, I'm his princess!"
He then grabbed her shoulders. "And I'm a monkey's uncle. Listen, kid I—"
"That's no way to speak to a princess," she yelled furiously and pulled out her perfume gun and fired some perfume at him.
"At your service, Princess Fragrance," the doorman sang, kneeling before her.
"Thousand times better," Princess Fragrance smiled and then stepped into the hotel. "Now, where's my wonderful Prince charming? We can't keep him waiting."
Prince Ali was currently taking part in a press conference in the dining hall.
"In honor of your presence here in Paris, your highness, I've taken it upon myself to organize a lavish fireworks display on the Seine river," said Mayor Bourgeois. "They will be displayed from this barge."
Prince Ali dashed to the window and saw the barge in the river. "Thank you, or how do we say in your language? Totally awesome!"
"We shall have to see if it fits with the Prince's busy schedule," said his chaperone, much to his disappointment. "We have very little time for festivities. His highness has many responsibilities."
Chloé then cleared her throat and tapped her father's shoulder.
"Ah! Prince Ali, allow me to introduce you to my own princess, Chloé," he said.
"Hm, Prince, I brought you a special stuffed toy for the sick children," said Chloé and handed him Tikki.
"Whoa! I've never seen one like this before," said Prince Ali gratefully. "This is so very kind of you."
"Ahahahahaha, you're flattering me. It is so kind of me, though, isn't it?" Chloé smiled.
Prince Ali looks slightly confused. "Why, yes. I said just that. You did not hear me?"
Chloé laughed nervously as her eye twitched; she was rather unaccustomed to being talked back like that.
The press continued to take pictures, and Marinette and Gray Wolf snuck in from the back, hiding behind the bar. Prince Ali then put Tikki in his shirt pocket, and Chloé takes a picture with him.
"Nadja Chamack. Don't be bemused; it's just the news!" said Nadja. "Prince Ali, do you have anything to say about your official Parisian visit?"
As she was talking, the elevator bell rang, though no one noticed, and they didn't notice Princess Fragrance exiting from it.
Except for Grey Wolf.
"She's here, the Akuma." Grey informed her quietly, a sour look on her face.
"I'm very happy to be here," said Prince Ali.
Princess Fragrance then fired her perfume gun at Chloé without her noticing.
"Prince Ali, where is…" said Nadja, but stopped when everyone smelled a disgusting smell. "…that-that smell coming from?! Like rotten fish?!"
Everyone covered their mouths and noses and slowly turned towards Chloé.
"What? That's not me!" said Chloé and then sniffed herself, realizing it was her. "It-it is me! Ew!"
Suddenly everyone in the press conference got shot by perfume, and everyone turned towards them.
The press then turned and bowed. "At your service, Princess Fragrance," they sang.
"Who-who are you?" Prince Ali asked nervously.
"I'm Princess Fragrance, and I've come just for you!" she said, approaching him. "In just a spritz, you'll be mine, Prince Ali!"
All of a sudden, crashing through the window dramatically and landing between them was Sky Falcon who retracted his wings as he faced Princess Fragrance.
"What's up, your Highness? We weren't informed of your arrival."
"How sweet of you but I won't let anyone stand in the way of my Prince.
Gray Wolf took the opportunity to leap from the bar, joining her brother as she readied her bow, "You're free to try, Princess."
With that, they both tag teamed against the princess, allowing everyone to escape.
Scene: Adrien's room in the Agreste mansion.
Adrian had watched the entire thing on TV right after he had received a text from Toby alerting him of an Akuma.
"What or who is that?" he said. "Plagg? Plagg, let's go!" He looked around for Plagg and found him in a trashcan eating his Camembert. "There's trouble in Paris!"
"I'm still chewing!" said Plagg, much to Adrian's annoyance.
"Plagg! Claws out!" Adrian yelled, and Plagg flew out of the trashcan and into the ring.
He then began to transform into Cat Noir.
Scene: Back inside the Le Grand Paris.
Prince Ali, his chaperone, Mayor Bourgeois and Chloé escaped to the stairwell with Marinette discreetly following.
"Quickly, Prince! This way!" said Mayor Bourgeois.
Seeing the disadvantage she had after having to go for the defensive, Princess Fragrance disengaged from the twins and left a trail of perfume, blocking them and creating a distance for her to follow them downstairs. Mayor Bourgeois led them into a corridor and then into a side room and locked the door.
"We'll be safe in here. It's a reinforced door," Mayor Bourgeois assured them.
"So much chaos! How is anyone supposed to stick to a schedule around here?" the Prince's chaperone moaned.
Then both she and the Prince stepped away from Chloé, who still smelled like rotten fish.
"What is that?" Chloé asked.
Mayor Bourgeois looked down and saw a fog of perfume leaking out from the cracks in the door. "Get back!"
Outside, Princess Fragrance sprayed under the doorway while Prince Ali, his chaperone, Mayor Bourgeois and Chloé backed away inside the room.
"My Prince, my Prince, smell the fragrance of my eternal love!" Princess Fragrance sang.
Then, to everyone's surprise, they saw the fog being sucked away. Princess Fragrance turned and saw Marinette who had found a disguise using a vacuum cleaner to suck up the perfume.
"Seriously, who are you?!" she said angrily. She then used her perfume gun like a rocket to launch herself into the air and landed on the vacuum cord, plugging it off. She then pointed her gun at Marinette. "Looks like you're powerless now, superhero!"
Then suddenly, there was an explosion from above that shook the structure, causing them to lose their footing momentarily. Mayor Bourgeois opened the door slightly to peek outside and saw the two of them. "Oh no, there are two of them now! Run!"
They quickly ran out of the room and ran down the corridor, and Princess fragrance quickly ran after them only to stop short as a spear lodged itself inches in front of her. She turned to where it came from, only to see Gray Wolf and Sky Falcon rushing towards her, she started shooting, causing Sky to stop and extend one wing to fan away the perfume. Princess Fragrance took the opportunity to run forward to land a roundhouse kick, sending him tumbling headfirst into the vacuum cleaner, dazing him.
Princess Fragrance spun around, creating a perfume fog around her. "You can't escape my perfume! La la la la la la!"
Mayor Bourgeois opened the stairwell door and let everyone go in first, but he was hit by the fog before getting inside. Marinette and Gray Wolf who heaved Sky Falcon were able to escape the fog themselves by using the service elevator, but Marinette lost her cape in the process.
"Get them," Princess Fragrance ordered Mayor Bourgeois.
"At your service, Princess Fragrance," Mayor Bourgeois sang and began chasing after them.
Marinette, Gray Wolf and Sky Falcon had finally reached the kitchen and exited the elevator. As Sky was holding his head and blinking multiple times to clear the dizziness out.
"Bro, You alright?" Gray Wolf asked.
"Yeah…," he said slowly, releasing his head as a lovestruck grin slowly crept along his face, "I'm doing better now."
"Okay, let's just think for a moment," Marinette said, a bit weirded out, and so was Gray Wolf. But nevertheless, she started forming a plan, "Sky, you distract the princess while Gray, you escort the prince out."
"Got it."
Marinette then peeked through the door and saw Prince Ali, his chaperone, and Chloé had just entered the dining hall.
Chloé looked towards Butler Jean while pointing at her father. "He's under the spell! Shut the door!"
"But it's your father!" said the Prince's chaperone.
"Who cares? Shut it now!" Chloé ordered.
Jean used a broom and pushed Mayor Bourgeois out of the way, and shut the door behind him. However, a perfume fog emerged from inside the nearby elevator, and all of them, except Jean, ran off.
"At your service, Princess Fragrance!" Jean sang.
Princess Fragrance then began making her way towards them. "Come into my arms, my sweet Prince!"
"Pee-ew!" said a voice, and everyone turned to see Cat Noir sitting on the windowsill. "Can we get a little fresh air here?"
He then leapt off the windowsill and placed himself in front of Princess Fragrance, and pulled out his staff.
"No one will take my Prince away!" Princess Fragrance snapped and fired upon him.
Cat Noir quickly used his weapon to knock back the perfume sprays. Sky Falcon then walked casually and made his presence known and did the unexpected.
"Princess Fragrance, My love!" He declared dramatically, earning surprised looks from everybody as they saw him walk towards her, "From up in the sky, I can smell your ever radiant scent. You are like a flower that smells so lovely. If only I had the glass shoe, it would surely fit in your wonderful feet."
Marinette deadpanned at him while Grey simply smacked her hand to her cowl-covered face while muttering insults at her brother's stupidity.The reason for his sudden shift in character is because he had inhaled a small amount of the perfume meant for the prince when he crashed, so he's not under Princess Fragrance's control but he developed an infatuation with her.
And speaking of whom, Princess Fragrance was both flustered and flabbergasted by the sudden turn of events. She's pursuing Prince Ali and now the bird of prey is starting to pursue her and currently, she started dodging his advances.
"Oh I so wish I had that on camera right now," snickered Gray Wolf as she walked towards Prince Ali as Cat Noir extended his staff outside like a fireman's pole, much to the surprise of a Parisian who was walking by.
"My humble apologies for the inconveniences in France, your Highness. I strongly advise emergency evacuation now," Gray Wolf said to him while eyeing the pocket Tikki was inside.
"It's much too dangerous for the Prince," said the Prince's chaperone.
Cat Noir noticed some mixing bowls on the cart nearby and grabbed one. "No, she's right. Safety first!"
He then placed one of them on Prince Ali's head like a helmet, and he smiled.
Cat Noir then slid down his staff first, followed by Chloé, Prince Ali, and his chaperone, who was also wearing a mixing bowl on her head. Gray Wolf then used her bow to slide down the pole, all of them hitting the ground.
Once everyone was outside, Princess Fragrance, who just ducked underneath Sky Falcon's arms, looked out the window and saw them get inside the Prince's chaperone's car and drive away.
"My Prince!" she cried and tripped her opponent as she launched herself with her perfume gun and followed the car.
"My Princess, Don't leave me!" Sky Falcon cried and was about to follow her.
"Sky, Wait!"
He turned to see Marinette running towards him, "I need a ride."
Scene: Inside Prince Ali's chaperone's car.
They were speeding away from Princess Fragrance while at the same time still holding their breath so as not to take in Chloé's fish smell.
"Can we open the windows?" Cat Noir asked. "This fish smell is even too much for a cat."
The chaperone opened all the car windows, and Prince Ali and Cat Noir and Gray Wolf gasped for air. Tikki then sneezed, and Prince Ali looked into his jacket pocket towards the noise, confused.
"We have precisely nine minutes to get to the hospital," said Prince Ali's chaperone. "The Prince is on a very strict schedule."
Cat Noir stared at her in disbelief. "What? No way we can go to the hospital now! We have to get Prince Ali out of Paris ASAP!"
Then everyone heard a thud above them, and when they looked up, they saw Princess Fragrance looking down at them.
"My Prince! Fancy seeing you here, what a stroke of luck!" she said smiling.
"The windows!" Cat Noir ordered.
Prince Ali's chaperone tried to close all the car windows, but Princess Fragrance stopped the sunroof. "My Prince, I'll make you mine and seal our love!"
Princess Fragrance then sprays everyone in the car, but in the scuffle, Tikki escapes out of Prince Ali's pocket and landed on the car floor.
Hawk Moth laughed triumphantly, "Cat Noir and Gray Wolf are down! It won't be long before Ladybug and Sky Falcon show up too and meet their doom!"
Scene: The streets of Paris.
"What we need is some form of protection against the perfume so we don't fall in their trance," said Marinette to Sky Falcon who was carrying her in his arms as he was zipping through the air after the vehicle and he hummed in agreement to her statement.
When they got there, they found Prince Ali's chaperone's car abandoned.
"Oh no! Where's Tikki?" she said, frantically as Sky Falcon released her. She rushed towards the car, "Tikki? Tikki?" She looked around the car and saw Tikki on the floor, much to her relief. "Tikki, I was so worried!"
Tikki opened her eyes. "Marinette…"
Marinette picked up and could tell that she was not looking good. "You're much worse than I thought! We need to get you help!"
"We don't have time. You have to transform. I'll be okay…" Tikki coughed.
"No, Tikki. I'm not making the same mistake twice!" said Marinette firmly. "We've gotta get you to the healer now! Sky…"
When she turned, she saw he had already flown off much to her chagrin. So as time was of essence, she had to d get to the healer on her own.
Scene: Fu's massage shop.
The healer in question was none other than Master Fu at his massage shop. Marinette sat there watching as Master Fu began the treatment to heal Tikki, hoping he wouldn't ask too many questions.
Marinette watched as Master Fu banged on his gong, still very worried about Tikki.
"She going to be okay?" Marinette asked.
"'One who is burning with impatience can never eat hot porridge,'" quoted Master Fu.
"Um, what has this got to do with eating?" Marinette asked, confused.
"Silence, please. Reading energies," he said, placing his hands together and then extending them towards Tikki. "What type of cat did you say?"
"Cat?" Marinette blinked and remembered that she had said that Tikki was a cat. "Um, right. Rare hairless flying species from the Kingdom of Achu. I was allowed to have one because I won a zoo tap-dancing contest when I was in… the Kingdom of Achu."
She smiled nervously, and Master Fu looked back at Tikki.
"Mm-hmm. Unusual," he said, picking up his gong.
"Yes, yes, very," Marinette admitted.
He then banged on his gong for the last time.
"We are finished," he said, putting the gong down. "Your cat's health has been restored."
Marinette looked down at Tikki, and her eyes lit up when she opened her eyes, looking much better. Tikki wasted no time and flew into Marinette's hands.
"Thank you, thank you so much! You're a real magician, sir!" she said gratefully and began making her way to the door but stopped to look back at him. "How did you do that?"
"Ancient Chinese secret," he said and smiled when Marinette closed the door behind her. "Just like yours."
Scene: Seine river bank.
Marinette made her way to the Seine river bank and looked down at Tikki.
"Tikki, I'm so, so sorry," she said apologetically. "You were so sick and, well, I don't know what I would do without you."
"You wouldn't be Ladybug for one!" Tikki giggled.
Marinette laughed. "I know, but I mean: Tikki, you're more than just my kwami for me."
"I know," said Tikki flying around her before hugging her cheek, making the two of them giggle. "Come on, we got a Prince to rescue, and there's no time to lose."
Marinette nodded. "Tikki! Spots on! Hah!"
Marinette then transformed into Ladybug.
Just as she did that, Sky Falcon appeared out of nowhere next to her, jumpscaring her.
"Sky, don't you ever do that again! And where did you fly off to?"
"It is a very long and interesting story," he started dramatically, "As I flew into the sky, on the way to my destination, I came across a nice flower shop and then I thought 'Hey, If I'm going to confront her, then maybe l–'"
"Sky! Get to the point!"
"Okay, So I successfully found what can help us,"
"That's great. Now let's do this."
Scene: Pont des Arts.
Princess Fragrance was about to wed Prince Ali; she even had a bouquet of flowers. Mayor Bourgeois held her like a bride as they made their way down the bridge as if they were walking down the aisle. In the center was Prince Ali, his chaperone, Cat Noir, Gray and Chloé.
Once they reached the making to a stop and both she and Prince Ali held hands.
"I can't wait for us to be together. Forever! Servants, love padlock, please," she said, snapping her fingers, and Cat Noir opened a box to reveal a padlock with Princess Fragrance's perfume coming off of it. "This will lock our love forever, my Prince!"
"At your service, Princess Fragrance!" Prince Ali sang.
However, a yo-yo then suddenly shot out of nowhere, knocking the padlock out of Princess Fragrance's hands and into the Seine river.
"My padlock!" Princess Fragrance gasped.
She turned around and saw Ladybug holding onto a lamppost. "Not so fast, my royal pains in the neck!"
Princess Fragrance fired her gun at her, and the perfume struck her, and Ladybug began to slide down the bridge. Princess Fragrance grinned evilly before revealing that Ladybug was wearing a gas mask.
Then, the perfume themed princess heard an ominous breathing reminiscent of Darth Vader behind her. She turned to see Sky Falcon standing a few feet away. He was also wearing a gas mask and was doing the iconic breathing as he spoke in the iconic deep modified voice,"Consider this wedding off, because nobody weds my princess but me."
"Use their teammates to get their miraculous," Hawk Moth ordered.
"Servants, attack! And take their earrings and bracelet!" Princess fragrance ordered.
He thralls, minus Prince Ali, charged at both Ladybug and Sky Falcon. Ladybug was able to sidestep out of the way, and Chloé collided with the lamppost. Using this opportunity, Princess Fragrance grabbed Prince Ali and launched herself into the air with her gun.
Ladybug quickly flipped Cat Noir over her shoulder when he tried to grab her and quickly dodged a volley of Gray Wolf's arrows. Sky Falcon on the other hand landed a flying spin kick on the Mayor, knocking him to the ground as he used his momentum to dodge his sister's taser arrow that was fired at him. He caught it midair and stuck the head to the chaperone's forehead, sending jolts of electricity through her body as she was put out of commission. He then joined Ladybug as they confronted their singing brainwashed teammates.
"Snap out of it, Cat Noir! It's me, Ladybug!" Ladybug yelled as she back flipped to avoid His staff.
"Give me your Miraculous!" Cat Noir sang.
"If you know what's best for you!" Gray Wolf sang as she converted her bow into its staff form.
The two heroes glanced at each other and knowing what needs to be done, they charged at their teammates.
Princess Fragrance had taken Prince Ali to lose the top of the Le Grand Paris hotel.
"Who needs a padlock to secure our love when I can put everyone under my spell and make Paris our kingdom!" she said and began spraying a large perfume cloud into the sky.
Ladybug looked up and saw the perfume cloud forming. "Uh oh, I better do something before this whole thing blows up in my face."
She then gasped when she got an idea, remembering science class earlier that day and how Ms Mendeleiev demonstrated what happens when you set fire to chemical liquids.
Ladybug then saw the boat full of fireworks that André mentioned to Prince Ali earlier, "Sky, how did you and Gray cause the explosion back at the hotel?"
Sky Falcon was currently clashing weapons with his sister, "When the cloud stood between us and the love of my life, all it took was the spark from my trusty weapon and behold, the path was clear."
"Forget I asked," muttered Ladybug as she spoke up, "Our main priority is the boat with the fireworks."
"Oui."
She quickly ducked to avoid Cat Noir's staff and then tossed her yo-yo around the lamp post behind her. She spun around the bridge until she landed on a lamppost and turned to face Cat Noir.
"Can't hit me!" she said as the two of them tried to hit her with their weapons. "Miss!" She giggled, and then Cat Noir extended his staff and hit Ladybug in the stomach until she was directly over the river, but that was exactly what she wanted. "Yeah!"
Once she was directly over the barge, she used her weight to land on it. The moment she touched the barge, she then pulled on the staff with all her strength lifting Cat Noir and making him land on the barge too, though not as gently as her and it was at the same time the twins pushed away a distance from each other.
"Nice of you to drop in," said Ladybug.
"Give me your Miraculous! Cataclysm!" he sang.
Gray Wolf took in a deep breath and Sky Falcon saw this, "Alpha's…"
"SkyDive!" The moment he said that, with his wings spread, he dashed forward, went behind her, grabbed her from behind and turned her to the direction facing Cat Noir, all in one swift and fluid motion.
"...Howl!" She fired a concentrated wave of blue sound energy that hit Cat Noir, sending him crashing onto the control box causing all the fireworks to shoot off into the air and during the interval, Ladybug had already jumped out of the way. Sky Falcon then quickly threw Gray Wolf in a release german suplex on the hard concrete ground, knocking her out cold as he performed a kip up back to his feet and then took off into the air.
Meanwhile, realizing the danger they were in, Ladybug grabbed Cat Noir's belt and pulled him into the Seine river. She swung her yo-yo towards Sky Falcon's foot and pulled herself up towards him as they flew towards the Le Grand Paris rooftop.
Scene: Le Grand Paris rooftop pool.
Princess Fragrance could only watch as the fireworks shot out all over Paris, hitting her giant perfume cloud causing it to explode.
"This city is not for us," she said, dashing towards Prince Ali. "Too many people want to bother us. Let's go far away from here, my Prince! Very far!"
"Leaving so soon?" said Ladybug looking down at them as she and Sky Falcon took off their gas masks, "But the party just got started!
Princess Fragrance glared at them angrily. "You! You two are ruining everything! So now I'll ruin you!"
"Oh no my princess, we can never be ruined. Let's all put our differences aside and live together. Just the two of us," said Sky Falcon dramatically.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug yelled, tossing her yo-yo into the air and the red balloon with black spots fell into her hand. "A balloon? What am I supposed to do with this?"
She quickly began to look around, and her eyes turned towards a fireworks tube and Princess Fragrance's perfume gun. She smiled and quickly dodged to avoid Princess Fragrance's perfume bullet and grabbed the fireworks tube.
"You can't escape! It's over!" said Princess Fragrance as Ladybug inserted the blue into the tube while Sky Falcon was fanning away the perfume.
Princess Fragrance was just about to fire when Ladybug tossed her makeshift dart. The dart landed on Princess Fragrance's perfume gun, choking it and containing the perfume in the balloon. Ladybug uses her yo-yo to grab the gun, pulling Princess Fragrance towards her as former kicked the latter. Sky Falcon was then able to catch her bridal style and with the gun in hand, Ladybug broke it, releasing the akuma.
"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" said Ladybug, swinging her yo-yo and catching the akuma. "Gotcha!" She then released the purified akuma. "Bye-bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!"
She then tossed her Lucky Charm into the air, and the magical ladybirds turned everyone back to normal.
Cat Noir was at the Seine riverbank licking himself dry before turning back to normal. "What am I doing here? And where are the others?"
"I don't know much," said Gray Wolf, rubbing her head from the headache.
At the Pont des Arts, Mayor Bourgeois and Prince Ali's chaperone had also turned back to normal.
"Ah, the schedule is a complete disaster!" said the Prince's chaperone looking for her clipboard. "We are going to be late for everything! Where's the Prince? Wait a minute, where am I?"
At the Le Grand Paris rooftop, bith Prince Ali and Sky Falcon were back to normal, and Princess Fragrance turned back into Rose simultaneously, and not one of them remembered what happened.
"Sky Falcon?" said Rose.
"Yeah, that's me," he said awkwardly as he landed on the roof. Both of them were surprised at their current predicament, "You alright?"
"Yeah, I am," said Rose as she admired his wings with awe since it's her first time looking them up close and from her point of view, he looked like an angel. Sky Falcon then set her down.
"How did I get here?" Prince Ali asked.
Rose looked at him. "Prince Ali?"
She rushed over towards him, admiring him before grabbing his left arm and cuddling him while giggling.
Prince Ali then saw Ladybug and Sky. "And who are you people?"
Sky then spoke up, "We're a team of actual good guys."
Then Gray and Cat Noir landed on the roof, joining them as the former spoke, "We take names and also kick akumas."
Ladybug chuckled, "You can call us the M-Team. Now that it's settled, we'll leave you to chat with your number one fan. Bug out!"
The M-Team then took off, leaving Prince Ali with Rose.
"Know how you always help sick children around the world?" said Rose. "I just want you to know that you're the most kindhearted person I ever met!"
"Really?" said Prince Ali.
Chloé then appeared. "Prince Ali! You're safe!" She rushed over to him, shoved Rose out of the way, and then quickly wrapped her arm around his. "Aren't you glad I'm safe too? So, shall we continue where we left off?"
"Oh, no, thank you," said Prince Ali, removing his arm. "I have a special event at the hospital for children with Miss Rose."
Rose gasped with excitement as Prince Ali approached.
"Let us go quickly before my chaperone locates me," he said to her.
Both Prince Ali and Rose smiled and then began to make their way to the hospital.
"Bye, Chloé!" Rose waved.
Chloé growled and screamed angrily as she watched them leave.
Scene: Toby's room in the Jaiye Manor.
It was a while since the incident and Toby was currently on his desktop drawing a design of his latest project on a blueprint while Breeze was flying around, going on about the event.
"It was like it came from a story book! And the time you were pouring out your heart out for her and even sang a song! So poetic! Do you think it would have been like, real and not brainwashed or akumatized?!"
"Yeah no, I don't think so."
"Come on bro, admit it. I saw the potential romance between you guys."
Toby then put down his pencil and turned to face his kwami, "Breeze, it was nothing. If I'm to find someone, It would be someone not interested in the Sky Falcon me but the me me. Someone who only sees me for me."
"There's still plenty of fish in the water, you know?"
Toby nodded in agreement. It met not be easy, but eventually, he might find one. But suddenly, he remembered something among the things Breeze said.
"Bro, you mentioned I was singing, right?"
"Yup!"
Toby then took out his phone, went to the Ladyblog site and sure enough, he saw the latest news of Sky Falcon singing and when he saw the comments which were so many, majority of them were… interesting to say the least, but I won't go into details.
"Well bro, looks like you've got fans of your own."
Toby rolled his eyes then he saw a message from Rose, ~Hey TJ.~
He replied, ~Hey Rose, I saw what happened. Are you okay?~
~Yeah, I am. I got to be with Prince Ali and going back to what happened at the seine, I didn't get the chance to say Thank you for being there with me when I needed it.~
Toby smiled, ~It's okay. What matters is You're okay.~
He then put away his phone as he got up and left the room with Breeze following.
Okay folks, that concludes the first chapter this new year and now, I'm equipped, locked and loaded though I have a lot on my plate. Still, I'll make it work. I hope you like it so please leave a like and a comment and I'll see you next time.
PEACE!
