Now then for the new chapter of 2025 here's the next one of accidental revelations
So this is the beginning of the end of vol 1.
So without any more delay let's get moving.
I don't own any of this.
Chapter 15: planning the fall of the girl with the silver tongue
It was early in the morning when Shades awaken from his sleep. He let out a big yawn as he got up from bed.
"Ugh." He groaned.
He did some morning stretches to get his joints moving and went to the shower to get wash up. As he let the hot water pour down on him, he thought about what Jack said to him and what he give to him before he went back really puzzled him.
'Why Jack?' he thought.
After he was done with the shower and dried off, he went back to his room to get dressed and once he was done, he used his powers to suit up once more to keep his true identity a secret for the time being.
He went on to the kitchen and brew a fresh pot of coffee and gather some food to make breakfast.
In the guest room, Felix had woken up from his sleep and let out a big yawn, he got out of bed and stretches his arms and legs to wake the rest of his body up and then he went to get showered and then dried off, he went back to his room and got dressed and styled his hair the way he has it and then went to the kitchen.
"Good Morning Felix, hope you had a good rest, breakfast should be ready in a few minutes." Called Shades.
Felix nodded and waited.
Soon breakfast was served and they enjoy the food, Felix had some milk while Shades had coffee. Once breakfast was done, they got down to business.
"Ok Felix I know you been brought up to speed about the plan to exposed Lila as the sliver tongue bitch that she is." Shades began.
"Indeed and don't worry I won't fall for her tricks." Felix assured him.
"Good but be careful, she is a crafty one." Shades warned him.
Felix nodded in agreement.
"So what's our next move?" he asked Shades.
"Well we need to meet up with Cat Noir, Viperion, Pegasus and Alya and plan our next move." Said Shades.
"Agreed, we need to meet where no one can bother us for the time being." Added Felix.
Shades pondered for a moment for a place and then an idea struck.
"There's a café where we can rent a room for private meetings for a couple of hours and we can discuss our plan there." He said.
"Good idea let them know and send the address." Felix added.
He used his cane to send them messages with the address attached to them.
"Already done, now let's go." Finished Shades.
They headed out at once.
About 30 minutes later, Shades and Felix arrived at the café called le café de la ligne d'ombre or the shadow line café. It was a 4 story building and like the name it was painted to give off a vibe of being in the shadows or darkness.
"Well it does live up to the name." Shades said looking at the place.
"Yeah it really does." Added Felix.
Both sweat dropped at the place, just then a vortex opened up and out came Cat Noir, Viperion Pegasus and Alya.
"Glad you 4 arrived." Greeted Shades.
"Thanks for the info." Said Pegasus. "So why are we here?"
"Well we have to discuss our next plan in secret and some places you guys go to may have too many people that might listen in and Lila could be there and might get suspicious and tell Hawkmoth." Explained Shades.
"Good point." Replied Pegasus.
"So now what?" Alya asked.
"Well we go in but first put these on." Shades pulling out some mafia style clothing.
"How come?" Viperion asked.
"Well this place is a bit known to be on the shady side of things and the people that come here don't take too kindly to seeing heroes or cops and well if they did things get ugly really fast. So for the time that we are here, we wear these and as long we keep calm and cool there won't be any suspicions." He said to them.
"Understood." They said in unison.
"Lucky for us there's a changing room next to it so let's get into these suits and then head in." he said.
They went in the changing room one at a time and quickly changed their clothes and now they were wearing some mafia clothes, Shades, Cat Noir, Viperion, Pegasus, Alya and Felix were now dressed as Mafia's and so they went in the café and saw there were a bit of some shady people there but kept their cool and the waitress showed them to the room that Shades rented and they all sat down and had their orders taken and then the waitress left and shut the door.
"Ok everyone let's get down to business and discuss the plan." Said Shades.
Everyone agreed and got started.
Over the next 30 minutes they discussed of how to proceed with to expose Lila for everything and all the lies she has made and more, there were a few disagreements of which way to put it in action with some parts, they debated and everyone agreed to the changes to the plan, soon their order came and they resumed discussions. So when an hour passed, they were done discussing of the plan, they paid the bill and left the café and changed back to their original clothing and suits.
"Ok everyone on board with the plan?" Shades said.
"Yes." They answered.
"Good, now then we need to play our parts well and make sure everything goes as planned." Cat Noir joined in.
"Agreed." Replied Viperion.
"So now what?" Alya asked.
"We head back home and begin planning the next move, Pegasus and Viperion will take your home Alya, Cat Noir will go get Adrien and I'll take Felix back and we'll pull the ol' switcheroo on Gabriel and Lila." Shade told them.
Then he said this.
"Now we're need to keep this on the down low, no one can know what's happening, especially Marinette, Ladybug and your friends. Otherwise Lila will get wise and try alert Hawkmoth."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Pegasus used Voyage to get him, Viperion and Alya back home, Cat Noir leaped away and Shades used his powers to warp himself and Felix back to his place.
"Ok Felix get your things ready we're heading to the mansion where you and Adrien will switch places." He said to him.
Felix understood and went to the guest room and get his things.
Then Shades got a text from Cat Noir saying that he will meet him with Adrien at the Eiffel tower in 30 minutes.
At the mansion, Adrien was busy packing his things and getting the camembert cheese for Plagg to munch since he's crazy for it and carrots for Fluff since she likes them and loaded up on spare clothes.
"Well I think that's it you 2, it's going to be a while before we come back here." Adrien said.
"I know." Added Plagg. "so we're staying at Shades' place while Felix takes over your life for the time being?"
"I hope this will work out in the end." Fluff said nervously.
"Don't worry Fluff it will, but for now we have to play our parts." Adrien assured her.
That made Fluff feel a bit better.
"Once Lila is gone, you'll be back with Ladybug and the other Kwami's I promise." Said Adrien.
Soon they were ready to go and they have their things packed.
"Ok then Plagg, Claws out!"
He then transformed to Cat Noir.
He grabbed his suitcase and 2 bags and vaulted out of the mansion and headed where to meet up with Shades and Fluff followed him.
About 10 minutes later Shades and Felix appeared in Adrien's room via warp.
"Ok Felix, Cat Noir took Adrien and he's on his way to my place and now you're here to take his place for the time being until the trap is ready and Lila won't know what hit her until it's too late." He said to him.
"Understood." Felix replied.
He then changed his hair to match Adrien's and wore the same clothes he's wearing.
He then got a com watch from Shades so they can stay in contact with each other.
"Now then everyone will think you're Adrien while the real one is with me safe and be careful of Lila's silver tongue and if anyone asks where's the ring? Just say that you ask Cat Noir to look after it for the time being." Shades explained.
"Good idea." Replied Felix.
"But when you get the chance, use the watch to contact me and let me know the details and such. But make sure you're alone when contacting me, otherwise Lila will get wise on the plan." Shades said giving a stern look.
Felix nodded.
"But once she's dealt with, you and Adrien have to honor your parts of the deal we made." He said.
"Don't worry I always keep my word, Felix." Shades responded.
"Now then, I better get into character, I'll contact you in 3 days." Felix said.
"Understood, good luck and be careful." Shades warned as he then warp away to meet up with Cat Noir.
He found Cat Noir waiting for him.
"Hey there, ready to go?" Shades said.
"Yes but I want to make one little stop." He told him.
Shades guessed who could it be.
"Marinette?" and Cat Noir nodded.
He let out a sigh.
"Ok let's go see her, but after that we head to my place." Shades was firmed.
They headed to Marinette's place and Cat Noir knocked on the sky light window, Shades went to hide behind a chimney on another roof with Adrien's stuff and waited for him.
Cat Noir quickly changed back into Adrien after he knock on the sky light and waited for Marinette to come out.
Which she did and was surprised to see Adrien.
"Adrien? What are you doing here?" she asked in a surprised tone.
"Well I thought I come over and see you." He smiled.
Marinette blushed and did her usual stuttering again.
But she did stop.
Adrien couldn't help but smiled.
"So I've been wanting to ask you why did you kissed me on the lips after we hung out?" she asked him.
Now it was Adrien's turn to be embarrassed and he blushed bright red.
"Oh ok then." He said as now he was nervous.
He has to be careful to not let her know he's Cat Noir, not yet as least.
"Well, that's kind of hard to explain Marinette and I guess I admit that I am seeing you as more than a friend to me." He said as he was starting to sweat some bullets.
Marinette's heart was beating fast, she would never thought that the day would come that Adrien admits that she was more than a friend to him and maybe it will be something more.
Adrien can feel his own heart beating fast, he kept calm and spoke some more.
"Well ever since we met 3 years ago, I admit we didn't start off right, you thought I placed the gum on your seat and I was trying to remove it, since I knew Chloe was the one who did that and then I gave you my umbrella and we managed to patch things up and well the times we hang out and such I felt very happy and well I felt like my life was filled with happiness, joy, friendship and even a bit of love and I am very grateful." He said with a sincere tone in his voice.
Marinette can feel her heart was racing as Adrien was somehow confessing of how he really feels about her and she felt her legs getting wobbly about it and felt like she was going to explode out of joy.
He then took her hand and held it in his hands.
While that was happening, Shades quickly warped Adrien's things to his place and quickly came back.
"What I am trying to say Marinette, is that I am…" he said and then.
"BOOM!"
There was a sudden explosion that rocked the area and it caused Adrien to act on instinct and pull Marinette close to him, to protect her.
"Uh, Adrien I can't breathe." Marinette said as her face was in his chest and her voice was muffled.
Adrien realized that and let her go.
"Sorry." He said.
His face was bright red and so was hers.
"It's alright." She assured him.
Just then they heard the sounds birds flying around in flocks and there was another of a man doing bird calls.
They groaned as they knew which Akuma was.
"Mr. Pigeon. Son of a bitch." They cursed.
"Son of a bitch." Hissed Shades.
They groaned loudly as this was the 70th time Mr. Pigeon was Akumatized.
"Seriously can't Hawk Moth try to be original? I swear the Green Goblin would give us more trouble than Hawk Moth." Groaned Adrien.
"Agreed, but for now we need to get to safety." Marinette said.
Luckily Shades as an idea.
"I hope this works." He whispered.
He snapped his fingers and in a flash of light he changed into Cat Noir, then he used his powers to make him sound like him.
"Ok let's go."
He then leaped over to the sky patio where Adrien and Marinette are.
"Greetings you 2." He said in Cat Noir's voice.
"Cat Noir what are you doing here?" asked Marinette.
Adrien guessed this was Shades in disguise.
"I am here to take Adrien to safety and then go assist Ladybug to stop Mr. Pigeon again." He told them. "You better go back inside Marinette."
"But wait, Marinette! I wanted to tell you something." But Adrien was hushed when Marinette put her finger on his lips.
"Adrien you can tell me what you want to tell me at another time, but for now you get to safety OK?" she said.
He sighed.
"Ok Marinette you stay safe." Said Adrien before giving her a quick hug before going to where 'Cat Noir' was.
He grabbed him by the waist and they leaped away to safety while Marinette went back inside to go change into Ladybug.
After finding a building to go hide, Shades let go of Adrien and changed back to his normal self.
"Argh." He groaned. "I forgot how annoying changing into someone else was, really does strain the voice box after not using the power for a while."
"Sounds like you haven't done it in a while." Said Adrien.
"Never you mind, I got your stuff at my place, now go transformed and deal with Mr. Pigeon." Shades sighed.
Adrien nodded and said the words and he became Cat Noir and left at once.
(One Akuma battle later)
After defeating Mr. Pigeon, the heroes fist bumped and headed off, Cat Noir met up with Shades and he warped them back to his place.
When they arrived, Cat Noir said "Claws in" and changed back into Adrien.
"Whoa nice digs." Said Adrien.
Plagg and Fluff checked out the place and were surprised, then Shades threw them a wedge of cheese and carrot for them to munch on.
"Thanks." They said as they ate their snacks.
Shades then let Adrien know all about his place and then showed him to the guest room and he already had dinner made for him, so he went back to his own room and decided to order in.
Lucky for him a drone came by with Pizza and Shades was able to enjoy it.
Once he was done, he power down and changed into his normal self before going to sleep.
Cause tomorrow the first part of the plan to expose Lila begins.
(Next time: phase 1: setting the stage)
Ok that ends this chapter.
Sorry it took a while to get it done, but with cold weather it slowed me down a bit. Now then on to explanations.
Now in the next chapter Alya will be Rena Rogue and she and Pegasus will be getting the stage ready for the trap, it's going to be like the one of those 2 way window rooms use for interrogations and such, but it will be bigger.
Then in ch17 will be Pegasus' turn and he will be busy with Shades to get the stage wired and there will be a bit of Marichat moments in it.
When ch18 arrives it will be Viperion's turn.
Then in ch19 they go over the plan one more time before putting it into action. Also there will be a bit of LadyNoir Fluff in it.
Also there will be a bit of a flashback part of them discussing the plan, so keep an eye out for it.
Now next chapter for this will be out sometime in February.
Now with that said I am off to get some rest and get ready to help my co writer do more edits on another chapter before we upload it.
Now then to those who wanted the next chapter of Bleach Kombat, the chapter is coming, but I need to take care of my other chapters first and I have other things to do on my own time when not writing. So please be patient, the next chapter will be coming soon with an announcement.
So with that I am off to rest.
Read and review.
No rude insults and no rude reviews.
Until next time
