Save Me
Marinette felt dizzy, really dizzy, to the point where she couldn't stand up any longer. She went to sit down on the sofa only to end up on the floor. It was a lot cooler than expected and the room was a lot darker. She couldn't quite make out the different areas of the room. Looking to the left, she was sure there was a television somewhere. Wasn't she watching something? Or was she reading something? If so, the magazine should be on the table in front of her. Where her leg was resting! That was it, she had a broken leg.
"M'Lady."
What was Chat Noir doing in her house? Oh, that's right. He knows her identity now. Wait ... her fiancé knows Marinette's marrying him. Woah, that's a big deal.
"M'Lady, can you hear me?"
Perhaps she could just close her eyes, just for a minute. It'd stop the world from spinning so fast. She took a deep breath and settled her body down.
"Bugaboo! Where are you?"
His voice sounded panicked and so far away. She tried to reach out to him but realised she was hearing things. She reached up to tap her ear and found the communicator already placed there. That's how she could hear his voice, and that's when she realised she was no longer in the safety of her home, she was precisely two metres from where she'd gotten engaged, on top of the Eiffel Tower ... and the whole world was spinning around her.
Oh, flip! She laughed, she had no idea how she was getting out of this one.
She looked around at what was happening. Smoke, mist and ... lightning? She looked up again only to find the lightning strike a second time, before a hero in red landed nearby.
Ryuko.
The hero gave her leader a nod before canvassing the area. Lady Noire wasn't sure what she was looking for but she was even more confused about why other heroes were out. She hadn't handed anyone a Miraculous, at least she thought she hadn't.
"Ryuko-" Lady Noire tried to shout to her, only to be met with her body slamming into the side of hers. It hadn't worked, whatever she'd tried to do.
"Ryuko?" Lady Noire asked again.
Silence from the raven haired hero next to her.
"Ryuko?" Still no answer. "No, no, no, no, we're doomed. I'm going to die and I haven't even finished my wedding dress yet."
A groan was heard beside her.
"Don't worry Bug, Prince Charming is on his way. Do you think you can stand up?"
Lady Noire looked at her legs.
"I do have legs, so I'm guessing so-" She said.
"Well, I'm only the first line of defence. Your Romeo and some of the others are waiting for you not too far from here, but you need to get to them. I can only hold him off for so long."
A ball of green hexagonal shapes appeared to the right.
"What's with the disco ball?" Lady Noire said.
Ryuko looked at her confused.
"It's Carapace."
"As in a turtle? That's a cool looking turtle, he's glowing."
Ryuko looked at her again, what was she on about?
"Did you know" Lady Noire continued, "that turtle is the name for all testudine species. So he could be a tortoise, instead of Carapace. He could have called himself tortoise man."
Lady Noire sat smiling at Ryuko. The dragon girl was completely perplexed by what was happening. Usually this girl had crazy plans but now ... well ... she was just talking crazy. Ryuko continued to stare at her team leader whilst trying to figure out what to do next. They couldn't go towards the exit as that had been what vaulted her back into Lady Noire, some sort of force field, but there was no way she could leave her to make her own way to safety. She was as high as a kite. Ryuko would have to speak to Mr Bug about the girl's drinking problem, she must be an alcoholic.
"I'm a cat." Lady Noire said, followed by a hand flick and a meow.
Ryuko had enough, someone else would have to come and save the hero. She twisted and grabbed Lady Noire's baton and flicked it to phone mode. Four faces staring back at her.
"She's drunk." Ever the conversationalist, Ryuko went straight for the kill.
"Actually she's not," Mr Bug began to explain, "she's overdosed on pain meds. Can you keep her with you? I'm on my way."
Ryuko turned to inform Lady Noire of Mr Bugs impending arrival to find she was no longer sitting next to her. Quickly looking around she noticed the hero making her way over to a smirking Papillon. It seemed the hero was about to have the final stand off, alone and drugged. She looked down at her hand and noticed the baton. Lady Noire was also unarmed.
Bugger!
Standing facing Papillon, a sudden urge of confidence made Lady Noire stand on her tiptoes to go face-to-face with their arch nemesis.
"You," she pointed at the man, "are a very naughty boy."
"Ouch! M'Lady, you wounded me." He replied.
"Ha! You're funny trying to sound like my Bugaboy. Shame you're not as handsome though."
"You're missing out by not joining me, Kitty. We'd make a beautiful team." He reached out and stroked her face.
A plan suddenly morphed into her mind. She'd never actually managed to get this close to Papillon before, but one thing she did know was he had been trying to seduce her into joining his side from day one, and as attractive as her bug costume was, there was something of more interest about this costume.
She looked behind her to notice Ryuko walking towards them, baton in one hand and sword in the other. Kagami was a skilled fencer, even after all these years. She was terrifying with a weapon in each hand. Lady Noire placed a hand up to stop the dragon in her tracks. She might not be Lady Luck at the moment, but she was quite sure her plan would win.
"If I joined you, tell me what you could offer me?" She asked.
The smirk on his face made her want to throw up. However, that would not happen, not right now, though she couldn't speak for later. Plagg had some serious grovelling to do.
"I could save you from marrying that schmuck." He pulled out his sword and waved it in Mr Bug's direction. She didn't even know her partner had arrived. Not only her partner but a boat load of other heroes too.
Rena stood besides Mr Bug, giving him a knowing glance. Did Rena know his identity? Something sat uneasy within the pit of her stomach. God, he looked hot. She loved the cat costume, but this! Well, forget about the ass, it was all about the abs.
Lady Noire looked over at Mr Bug and sent him a wink, before turning back to Papillon and placing on her award winning smile. That, and a good flutter of the eyelashes should win this for her, she just needed to concentrate.
"You know, you're right. I've never been this close to you, you're very attractive." She messed with her voice to try and sound more sultry. In her head she sounded like Nicole Scherzinger, in reality she sounded more like Bernadette Rostenkowski.
"M'Lady, I don't think-" Mr Bug was feeling uneasy from the conversation happening in front of him, however, she didn't agree.
"Shhhhh!"
Mr Bug looked to Viperion beside him and gauped.
"Did she just shhh me?"
"To be honest," Viperion replied, "we've all wanted to do that at some point." He shrugged his shoulders as Mr Bug's face showed one of fair play. Both turned their heads back to the embarrassing display in front of them and Viperion set his second chance. There was no way this was going to end well.
"Now, Mr Papillon, is that ok? Can I call you that?" She attempted a seductive pout, but duck face had never been a more appropriate term.
"Are you ok? Your face seems to have -"
"Oh, I'm fine, my precious butterfly."
Papillon was stumped. He wasn't sure what this game plan was and he was quite sure no one else knew either.
"What is she doing?" King Monkey and Pegasus had landed next to the others, along with Carapace and Vespira.
"We're not quite sure." Rena replied.
Each hero dropped their guard and just allowed Lady Noire to do her thing ... whatever that thing was.
"You know," the heroes all turned to watch her next move, "you remind me of someone. Someone I've always wanted to get close and personal with." She was circling around him trailing one of her claws across his chest, and then shoulder.
Papillon let out a nervous laugh, and the others just couldn't understand how he was falling for this? She sounded like a drunk smurf, and the faces? Wow, just wow! Cheap animation came to everyone's mind.
"W-W-who do I look like?" Papillon let out a cough. Lady Noire had stopped behind him, pushing her hands under his armpits and stroking over his pecks.
"Just like Adrien Agreste." He let out a bark of surprise as she moved her lips to his ear, "and I think I know why?"
In complete shock of what was happening, Papillon missed her hands grabbing the pendant from his chest and yanking it from his body.
"Because you're his damn cousin."
As the transformation dropped Félix Graham de Vanily crumpled to the floor in sheer belief of the defeat that just happened. She'd completely tricked him.
Lady Noire walked round to face Felix.
"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Luckily, I'm a lot smarter than that." She pulled her arm back and released it into his face. Everyone stood still as they watched Felix collapse to the floor, Mr Bug not being able to hold back the look of glee in his eyes.
"KO!" She shouted, punching both arms in the air. "I have saved the world and now I bid you adieu."
Mr Bug ran forward as Lady Noire collapsed into his arms.
Plagg had a lot of explaining to do.
