Chapter 5: Dueling with a Silver Samurai
[Y/n's POV]
I was laying onto my bed after getting home from yesterday's events. I explained..well, made up sonething to my parents about what did happened after school. Luckly, they believed it, and were happy i was ok. Sucks for the Rhino to appear all of a sudden. But one thing came to mind..
Y/n: *sighs* How did that brute got here to Paris? Did someone bring him here?
???: You can say that someone else have.
I turned to my right to see Nusa flying around in my room..
Nusa: WOOHOOHOO!!
Y/n: I'm glad your happy to be free all these centuries, but please keep it down. My parents are here.
Nusa: *sweatdrops, while giggling* Sorry.
Y/n: It's fine *sits up*
Nusa: Thanks. It's a shame i got locked in my miraculous after my wielders are gone. I have been used since..
Y/n: Damn. But I've been meaning to ask.
Nusa: What is it?
Y/n: What's a miraculous like?
Nusa: Well, it's like this..*flies to y/n's chest and sits there* Kwamis are formed whenever a new abstract idea or emotion comes into existence in the universe, such as creation, love, beauty, and mathematics. When these emotions came into being, kwamis were formed at different times, such as Tikki, the kwami of creation, who was formed at the beginning of the universe and thus was the first kwami (and being) to exist. However, the kwamis couldn't be spotted by regular tangible creatures like humans. While we were able to journey across the universe, kwamis weren't sensed by humans and were unable to interact with them.
Y/n: Wow.. What were there names?
Nusa: I have many. Their's Tikki, The Kwami, which grants the power of Creation. Plagg, The Kwami with the power of Destruction. Trixx, The Kwami of illusions, Nooroo, which has to ability to give other people superpowers. And many more.
Y/n: wow..so many. If you had a miraculous of our own, what about your friends?
Nusa: Their's were created with magic, the same as me. Thousands of years ago, a mage successfully helped kwamis interact with humans by creating magic jewels, which were called Miraculouses. Because of the kwamis inhabiting them, the Miraculouses bestowed amazing power on their wearers. There are two Miraculouses that are more powerful than the rest: the Ladybug and the Cat Miraculous. Legend says when the Ladybug Miraculous and Cat Miraculous are worn together, their user will gain god-like powers.
Y/n: So, because those two are the strongest, if worn, you'll be invincible with no limits?
Nusa: Pretty much. After we were created, some of us were dispersed to worthy people. To me, a kind guy.
Y/n: Nice. What was the person name?
Nusa: His name was Asim Sadiki. This is what he looked like in his super form.
*new power only nusa can do: project an astral image of someone from the past centuries either from an energy circle, or by a kiss to the forehead. Kinda like Garnet's Future vision Kiss*
Nusa flew in a vertical circle in front of me as she glowed with energy up. She stopped flying as the circle glowed and showed an Egyptian man resembling Spider-Man in that time..
Y/n: Huh..i guess personas were light back then. Any others?
Nusa: Allow me to show you mentally..
Nusa got close to me and kisses my forehead, then my mind played me images of past welders of the miraculous..
Nusa: Hansuke Taiyó, the Stealth Spider. A noble man who just wanted to keep his people safe to protect the peace from a brutal emperor named Xia Jie.
The next slide showed a spider-hero with samurai-like armor
Nusa: This is Haru, the Webbed Samurai..A wronged Samurai who was framed for killing innocent people, even if he didnt do it.
Y/n: They just assumed he did it, with no questions?
Nusa: Sadly, yes. He was casted out and shunned by everyone, but he kept having a small determination to never give up to prove himself innocent.
Y/n: Have to admire him, for not losing himself to false guilt.
Next one came as a man in a Spider-Knight suit..
Nusa: This is Harold the IV, the Medieval Spyder Knight.
Y/n: *Raises eyebrow* Spyder?
Nusa: His way of announcing himself. Anyways, he's was a commoner who wanted to prove to his people and fellow knights that he can be a hero. But they turned him down, saying that he's weak.
Y/n: He must've lived a hard life.
Nusa: If you count being neglected and Abused by his parents as a child, bullied by his peers and feeling like an outcast to his village, then yes..a hard life.
Y/n: But wait, if you came to earth, did this ring come with you?
Nusa: Yep. That ring is also a special place for me to recharge my energy. Mine's came from a deep space crystal that fused with meteorite metals to form the ring you now have.
Y/n: Wow. Mine's must be powerful.
Nusa: Well, third strongest. With me, you have the ability to Control Shadows, dark as the night sky. For Shadow allows the user to bend their own shadow for various purposes, such as offense for insnaring your foes and defense, allowing the user a great deal of flexibility. A skilled user can merge with their shadow and the shadows of others, granting them the element of surprise. The other is to create a Toxic Mist to weaken anyone in front of you.
Y/n: Cool. *checks the time* Oh. It's 6:30. Better get ready for school.
Nusa: Ok. I'll be in the ring. *phases into ring*
I got up from my bed and went into the shower.
Y/n: So much about the miraculouses. So much responsibility.
Timeskip..
After drying myself, shaping up with some deodorant, getting dressed in some clothing, i grabbed my phone, wallet and personal gadgets of mine and headed downstairs, seeing mom and dad in the kitchen.
M/n: Hey, sweetheart. About to leave?
Y/n: You can say that.
F/n: *sees my ring on the finger* Hey.. where did you get that?
Y/n: You mean this? Gwen made it for me.
M/n: Aww, That's sweet.
Y/n: Oh, some friends at school asked me to hang at the louvre after school, so I'll be home later.
F/n: Have a good day at school.
Y/n: I will. Bye!
I opened the door and walked out before closing it. I then proceeded to walk to school. I texted the guys in a group to see if they was coming to school..
Y/n(text): Hey guys. Are you all coming to school day?
Peter(text): Sorry, y/n. But im feeling nauseas right about now😖
Miles(text): Same. Must've been something we caught.
Alya(text): Looks like you're gonna be on your own, y/n.
Gwen(text): 😣I hate being sick as hell.
Y/n(text):Aww, dont be like that, Gwen. After school, ill come visit you and Anya. How's that sound to you?
Gwen(text): Awesome.
Miles(text): Let's meet up somewhere sweet tomorrow. Like a bakery.
Y/n(text): Sure..i like that. Later guys.
*Puts phone in picket* Ok. The first class i have today is fencing with..Mr. D'Argencourt.
In the school..[no one's POV]
In the locker room, Marionette is looking for a fencing helmet that fits her..
Tikki: This fencing gear really does suit you, Marinette.
Marionette: Thank you, Tikki! Let's hope wielding a saber is a lot easier than finding a helmet that fits. *The helmet slips and Marinette makes a disgruntled noise*
Tikki: *giggles*
Marinette: *pulls the helmet off* I gotta ace these try-outs! D'Argencourt is the most prestigious fencing academy in all of Paris! I've only got this one shot to show them what I've got and get onto the team!
Tikki: You've been reviewing the fencing rules all weekend, it's going to be great!
Marinette: You're right. I'm going to make quite an impression on Adrien! *She slams the helmet down on the table, upsetting the others laid out. Marinette scrambles to catch them before they fall off, catching one on her foot* Ah, here we go! This one should fit perfectly!
In the Mid hall, Mr D'Argencourt paces between two lines of students.
Armand: I am the fencing master, Mr. D'Argencourt. As I'm sure you're aware, we have only a few open spots on the team this year. *Armand stops and faces the challengers* So, in order to select the best possible candidates, I will observe the beginners performing a number of attacks on the experienced students.
Marinette: *looks around* Where's Adrien? And i don't see y/n anywhere..
Armand: *Gestures with his arm to his students* Get into position.
Marinette is still looking around for either Adrien or Y/n when two students approaches her..
Student(1): Looking for someone?
Student(2): Yeah. It seems like you were waiting for a friend.
Marinette: Yeah, I thought either Adrien or y/n was here. You know, one of the boys this tall *she gestures to about Adrien's height then puts her hand to her cheek*, blond, nice, super handsome? While the other guy is foreign, has sweet black hair and gorgeous jade eyes?
The two took a glance at each each before turning to marionette and removing their face masks, revealing the two boys she mentioned..
Adrien: *smiles* Thanks for the compliment.
Y/n: Didn't think you call me gorgeous though.
Marinette: *yelps in surprise*
Adrien: I didn't know you were into fencing, Marinette.
Marinette: A-Adrien! Nice to fencing, I'm totally into you two! Uhh, I mean, nice to see you guys! Yeah, I'm totally into fencing.
Y/n *Chuckles gently and smiles* You're funny, Marionette.
Marinette: *giggles and blushes*
Armand: Get into position!
Y/n: Since everyone is paired, I'll watch you two.
Marinette: *She awkwardly puts her helmet on, glances at the two guys, and holds her saber upright*
Adrien: Bend your knees, then stretch your left foot back, turned outwards. *Marinette does so* Perfect! *He moves to her side, putting his arm around her to have her lean forward, using his other hand to guide hers so her saber is pointing out*
Y/n: Now, put your saber forward, like this.
Marinette: Ok.
Armand: Greet each other! *He crosses his saber arm over his chest and then snaps it out to his side in the traditional fencing greeting*
Y/n: Since you guys knew each more, why don't you have the first few matches Adrien?
Adrien: Thanks, man.
Adrien, then Marinette, greet each other, as y/n watched from afar.
Armand: En garde! Prêt, allez!
The students begin fencing while D'Argencourt watches. Adrien is ready, but Marinette is standing quite still.
Adrien: *He straightens up and pushes up his helmet* Go on, Marinette. You're supposed to touch me.
Marinette: T-touch you?! Yeah...
Adrien smiles and puts his helmet back down before lunging at Marinette. She dodges, striking back.
Armand: Attaque! Touche. Point! *He indicates Marinette* Continue!
Marinette: *she pushes up her helmet* Thanks!
Adrien: *He also pushes his helmet up* All I did was lunge. You've got good reflexes! *He puts his helmet down again and readies himself again*
Y/n: Nice one. Now..En Garde!
Marinette: *She puts her helmet back down and likewise gets into position*
Y/n: Prêt, allez!
Adrien and Marinette quickly fence, Marinette blocking Adrien before getting him in the chest..
Y/n: Attack, parry, riposte, counterattack. The point goes to you, Marinette.
Marinette: I don't get it. *Once more pushes her helmet up* Didn't you hit me first?
Adrien: *He also pushes his helmet up* With saber fencing, the attacker doesn't necessarily win the point even though he touched his opponent first.
Adrien: You took the initiative, so we say that you had priority. I can only parry or riposte, so in this sport, that's a lose to me, and the fencer gets the point.
Armand: Monsieur y/n.
Y/n: Yes, Mr. Armand?
Armand: Since, this is you first day in this class, i shall pick a sparring partner for you.
Y/n: That's fine by me. Everyone seems to be taken. I'll get changed into something more.. challenging.
Y/n goes into the locker room too get ready..
Marinette: But everything's happening so fast, I mean, how can you know who won the point?
Adrien: We don't always know for sure. That's why you can also abstain. Shall we continue? *He lowers his helmet*
Marinette nods, then lowers her helmet and gets ready to fence, but before she can move, a shout interrupts the fencing try-outs. A figure in red fencing gear stands on the scoring box, carrying a red saber.
*im changing some things in this episode chapter. Starting with this scene*
???: Hey, you! Are you Mr. D'Argencourt, the fencing master? I wish to join your team.
Armand: Only the best are admitted here, you knave.
Red Fencer: And I was, everywhere I went.
Armand: Part le fer! This whippersnapper has nerve! All right! I may consider your admission, shall you defeat a student of my choosing.
Red Fencer: Very well. Who will i be fencing with?
Armand: Mounseir Y/n!
On Que, y/n walked out of the locker room in black fencing gear..
Armand: Hmm..interesting choice of color, Mr.L/n
Y/n: Appreciate the comment, sir.
Armand: Please give our visitor here a lesson in chivalry.
Y/n: *smirks and lower his helmet* I shall, Master.
Y/n and the challenger face off, now attached to the scoring box and standing beside it. He touches his saber to Kagami's shoulder, and she touches y/n with hers to test the box. Her and y/n bow and walk apart. Y/n bends his saber blade while Kagami swings hers around. It is obvious she is very skilled.
Y/n: May i ask of your name before we commence the duel, madam?
Kagami:*smiles under mask* Nice manners. Very well.. I'm Kagami Tsurugi.
Y/n: Y/n l/n.
Marionette: That Kagami looks obviously like a better winner.
Adrien: It's not over yet.
Student to her right: Yeah, she still has to beat the new guy.
Armand: En garde! Prêt... allez!
Y/n and Kagami lunge at each other, with quick clashing of their blades. Then, they both did a lunge move, making both point buzzers go off at the same time.
Armand: Simultané! *to Kagami* Par un toucher!
Y/n and Kagami return to their starting points.
Marinette: I could have sworn y/n touched him first...
Student to Marinette's left: Not sure. Anyway, you never question the referee's decision.
Armand: En garde! Prêt... allez!
Again, Kagami and y/n lunge at each other, lighting up both sides of the points box. Both fencers and the students looked to the teacher, but he was confused who won..
Armand: Uhh... Abstention!
Marinette: What's happening?
Adrien: Mr D'Argencourt isn't sure who won, so he's chosen to abstain. This is a tight bout.
Armand: En garde! *gets cut off by red fencer*
Kagami: Wait. I request that we do it the old-fashioned way. We'll be much more at ease without the machine.
Armand: Y/n?
Y/n: Fine with me. *unplugs his body cord*
Kagami unplugs her body cord as well, backflips, and shows off her skill with her saber more.
Y/n: You think you're the only one with moves?
Y/n then did some martial arts tricking, while showing off his swordsmanship..
Students: Whoa...
Marionette: Nice..
Adrien: Neat..
Kagami: *thinking* This will definitely be a challenge..
Armand: En garde! Prêt... allez!
Y/n and Kagami lunge at each other a their time, sabers clashing. Y/n was pushed back as he hits a post, dodging another lunging strike and the fight makes it way to the second level. Kagami jumps on a railing and gracefully backflips to the other side..
Marinette: *amazed* Is this what fencing's all about?!
Armand: *excited* Part le fer! This IS what fencing's all about!
Armand and the remaining students go to the base of the stairs. Marinette can't see over the other students, so she heads over to the other set of stairs. Meanwhile, y/n is pinned between Kagami and the railing of the stairs.
Y/n: *smirks under mask* Is this really all you can do?
Kagami: You haven't seen anything yet!
Y/n uses his saber to force Kagami off him and goes further upstairs, Kagami following him. Marinette meanwhile has gotten up the first flight of stairs, while her classmates and Armand are still at the base of the other stairs.
Armand: The fateful moment has arrived!
He is trampled by his students and grunts in pain.
Adrien: Ouch!
Kagami and y/n are still fencing furiously, bursting into the library when he knocks Kagami inside. They begin making a mess of sword clashes in the library, with Kagami sending a book cart out into the hallway that nearly hits Marinette..if it wasn't for adrien nearby.
Marionette: *gets grabbed and pulled by Adrien* Wah!
Armand: *Pushing his students aside.* Let me through! Move!
His students flee from the incoming book cart, which hits Armand into the wall behind him. He grunts in pain again.
Adrien: That was close.
Marionette: T-thanks adrien.
Adrien: No problem. Let's watch the fight.
They both turned to the resuming battle. Kagami and Y/n are still fencing, with only the two students watching to watch. Kagami and y/n move back from each other.
Kagami: Let's finish this off!
Y/n: Couldn't agree more..
She and Y/n once more lunge at each other, blades clashing multiple times until both sabers seemingly touch the other at the same time. Kagami steps aside and turns to the duo.
Kagami: Who got the first hit?! Who?!
Marinette: Uhhh, I...!
Armand: *appears on the floor as he crawls up the stairs* Who touched first? Tell us now!
Adrien: Well..from both sides, they both touched. But y/n's saber was faster by a millisecond, so i say y/n. Right marionette?
Marionette: y-yeah.
Armand: *Suddenly springs to his feet* Ah-ha, wonderful! This victory is an honor to D'Argencourt Academy!
Kagami: *She sighs in defeat, then walks up to y/n, offering her hand for a shake, which he takes*
Y/n: Great fight, Kagami. You have very elegant swordsmanship with your saber.
Kagami: T-thank you. *calmly walks out of the room*
Y/n: *lifts mask* Are you guys sure?
Marinette: Uh, um... Well, I'm not entirely sure. I mean, it looked like it was you, but it went so fast.
Y/n: *to Armand* I think she touched me first.
Armand: The referee has the last word.
Y/n looks put-out by this and goes after Kagami, who is in the middle of leaving the school. She stabs her saber into the ground and leaves it, striding out of the school.
Inside a lair, a window opens and the light shines to reveal Hawk moth with his butterflies flying around..
Hawk Moth: A champion whose victory has been stolen... Crushing defeat is the ideal steel with which to form a blade of revenge. *a butterfly lands on his hand, as he covers it, while turning it into an Akuma* Fly away, my little akuma, towards this spite and petulance, and evilize that fencer!
The akuma flies out of his window into Paris in search of Kagami..
[Y/n's POV]
Y/n: I'm gonna offer her a decisive match.
Adrien: I'll come with.
Me and Adrien ran off, going after Kagami. Near the exit, I see her saber pierced to the ground. I grabbed it and saw Kagami about to get in her car..
Y/n: Hey! Wait! Your saber!
Kagami throws her glove into the car and removes her helmet, turning to look at me expectantly.
Y/n: *Momentarily stunned by her appearance* Let's do a... decisive match?
As he speaks, Adrien notices Kagami's ring.
Adrien: Where have i seen that before?
Kagami: *sighs* What's the point? You won. There's no such thing as a second chances in my family. I'm sorry... *She gets into her car, which drives off*
Y/n: Damn..
Adrien: *sees his car coming* Oh. My car is here. Why don't i follow her, see if i can talk to her?
Y/n: Really? Cool. I wondered why she believe she doesn't deserve a second. Oh! *hands Adrien Kagami's Saber* If you're following her, make sure she gets this back.
Adrien: *pats y/n's shoulder* I will. See-ya! *gets into his car where the gorilla is waiting and points* Follow that car!
Tikki: You might have a chance on the fencing team after all!
Marinette, unknowing to them was watching the whole ordeal. She then giggled at what Tikki said and y/n watches his friend drive off.
Marionette then notices a akuma flying past them..
Marinette: *sees an akuma and gasps* An akuma! *she runs after it, ducking into the metro station to transform* Better capture it before it turns someone into a villain!
Tikki: At your service, Marinette!
Marinette: Quick! Adrien is in danger!
[Transformation Sequence]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha! *Marinette transforms into Ladybug*
*Ladybug uses her Yo-yo to get out of the Metŕo quickly*
[Y/n's POV]
Y/n: She's wrong. Every one deserves a second chance in life..
Nusa: Why don't you tell her yourself? She wouldn't have to feel this way over one loss..
Y/n: True. Ok. Let's go.
I looked both ways to see if anyone is around. Being in the safe zone, I web thripped a nearby building and swinged to Kagami's location..
Scene: Kagami is in her car, calling her mother.
Kagami's mother: *Voicemail* I'm not available at the moment. Leave a message. (Beep!)
Kagami: Mother, you thought I was good enough, but... I lost. I'm not sure if I'm ready to join D'Argencourt Academy..yet.
She hangs up and sits back in her seat.
She took a glance at the family ring she currently has in her right hand. The akuma slid inside her car and flies into her ring..
Hawk Moth: Riposte! I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you a second chance to prove that you are the best fencer of all, but in return, you must bring me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.
Kagami: On my honor, Hawk Moth, I shall be victorious!
Kagami transforms into a silver warrior. She has a silver helmet with angular sides and a red circle on the center of the forehead with the Tsurugi crest. Her body outfit is silver armor, including a breastplate, pauldrons, and tassets, while her arms and legs are solid silver. On her feet she wears silver high-heel shoes. Her right hand seems to be or holds a sword-like extension with a triangular guard and a red circle bearing the Tsurugi crest on the center of the guard..
Kagami, sliced open a new sun roof into her car and leaving to have revenge on someone's battle. But first, she'll have to grab a friend of his..
[With Adrien]
Adrien is skimming through logos on his phone, stopping when he sees the one on Kagami's ring.
Adrien: I knew that ring looked familar. She's the only daughter belonging to a family of prestigious fencers. Her mother and grandfather were both world champions. I've read about them before! She and her mother just moved to Paris! How incredible!
Unknowning to him, Riposte comes spinning out of the sky, cutting Adrien's car in half, launching Adrien out of his seat. She stands atop the back half of the car.
Riposte: Hello, Adrien. I am taking y/n's offer on a decisive match.
Adrien: But you can't fight him like this. You're not.. yourself.
Riposte: I will fight him! I must!
Hawk Moth: Halt, Riposte! You make seek your revenge, but only after you take hold of Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous first.
Riposte: Understood, Hawk Moth.
Adrien tries to flee but Riposte jumps in front of his direction, and blocks him with her bladed arm..
Riposte: Where do you think you're going? Stay there. Nice and patiently.
Adrien flinches back from her, and Ladybug's yo-yo wraps around Riposte's blade
Ladybug: How'd you like to start a duel with me? *tugs on her yo-yo to disarm Riposte, but her yo-yo slips off the blade, surprising her* It's merged with her hand.
Riposte: Give me a moment, Adrien. I must finish her off, first! But don't worry- I haven't forgotten about you! I won't be long.
Riposte lunges at Ladybug and rapidly attacks her. Ladybug gasps and defends herself with her yo-yo.
Adrien: Don't let her close in on you *Throws Kagami's saber to Ladybug* Fight back!
Riposte slashes at Ladybug, but the heroine backflips away and catches the saber..
Ladybug: Thank you, but now get out of here. She doesn't deserve you. (She moves in to attack Riposte, but is knocked flat on her back)
Adrien: Watch out, Ladybug! *tries to reach her, but feels a stinging pain from his left ankle* Ahh!...
Ladybug sees Riposte diving from the sky to skewer her. Before that happened, someone else dives at her and they roll out of danger..
???: Just dropping by?
Ladybug opened her eyes to see Spider-X, but he was wearing a different costume with a webbing cape. He also has some kind of ring to his finger..
Riposte: Who are you, insect?!
Spider-X: Call me Spider-X, and dont bother asking for y/n. I hidden him away from you.
Riposte: *tries prying sword of the ground* You will tell me where he is!
Spider-X: Yeah. Not gonna happen. *helps Ladybug up and speaks to her* Can you get Adrien out of here, while i hold her off?
Ladybug: Umm.. y-yeah. Be careful with her. *goes to Adrien*Are you hurt?
Adrien: I'm fine.
Ladybug: I need to get you as far away from that girl as possible.
Adrien: Sounds like a plan.
Ladybug throws her yo-yo around a chimney stack and pulls Adrien close to her. They both smile sheepishly at each other. Meanwhile, Riposte manages to get her bladed arm out of the road. She lunges at them, but Spider-X fires a web at her and slsms her to the ground, while Ladybug carries them away. She picks up Adrien once landed and sets him down out of sight behind the chimneys.
Ladybug: What kind of fencing was that?
Adrien: Nothing like I've ever seen before.
Ladybug: It's going to be hard for me to fight and protect you at the same time. *ladybug attempts to call Cat Noir*
Ladybug: Where are you, Cat Noir?
Adrien: Maybe he's busy?
At the moment, Riposte slices up their hiding spot..
Riposte: Allow me to explain the rules to you- you're not allowed to call it quits at any time! Y/n is mine! I will defeat you. Both of you! I am the best fencer!
Adrien: We understand..Nobody's denying that. Me and my friend Marinette made a bad call earlier.
Ladybug: He's right. Referee errors can happen in fencing. You don't have to get so bent out of shape about it.
Riposte: *growls angrily and glares at them*
Spider-X: I'm sure Marinette wasn't trying to humiliate you.
Ladybug: *offended* Of course not!
Spider-X/Adrien: Uhh...*looks at her questioningly
Ladybug: *Laughs nervously* I mean, I'm sure that was the case.
Riposte: It's too late! The damage has been done! This time, I shall be the referee! *she lunges*
Ladybug: Stay back, Adrien. *She, too, lunches forward to engage Riposte in battle*
Spider-X: Go hide on a nearby wall. If not, try finding an emergency exit. *lunges at Riposte as well*
Adrien nodded and limps away, his twisted ankle acting up. He moves to hide behind a second chimney stack. Meanwhile, Riposte, Spider-X and Ladybug are still fighting. Ladybug wraps her yo-yo around a third cluster of chimneys and pulls the rubble onto Riposte. Spider-X webs up the debris from extra toughness..
Behind a wall, a black cat-like Kwami appeared from inside of adrien's fencing gear..
Plagg: You sure are taking sure risks today.
Adrien: Dont really have much of a choice do i? Ladybug and Spider-X needs me. Plagg, c-!
Ladybug: Adrien.
Adrien: *freezes*
Ladybug: you okay? *leans around the chimney*
Adrien: Uhh, yeah, and you?
Ladybug: I'll feel better once your safe, far away from that girl. Come on, let's go.
Ladybug swings her yo-yo and pulls Adrien close and the two share a blushing smile and the two swing off. Meanwhile, Riposte frees herself..
Spider-X: *whistles*
Riposte: Huh? *turns, only to be met with a kick to the face, making her crash to a wall*
Spider-X: My apologies Madame, but i simply cannot let you harm those two.
Later! *web swings to Ladybug and Adrien*
Scene: At the Louvre Palace, Ladybug and Adrien arrive and slide down the Pyramid.
Ladybug: Akuma alert! You must leave now! Evacuate the premesis calmly!
Officer Roger: This way ladies and gentlemen. *He begins to direct citizens away*
Announcement: Akuma Alert. Ladybug and Cat Noir are expected to handle this emergency swiftly. All visitors kindly vacate the premises very calmly. Thank you.
Spider-X: *lands near the duo*
Adrien: We're you able to buy us some time?
Spider-X: For the most part, yes. But we have to be a quick as possible.
Ladybug: Right. Safe place, safe place. *sees a sarcophagus display* Aha!
Ladybug and Spider-X entered the display room, and opened the sarcophagus, allowing Adrien to enter..
Ladybug: I'm sorry, but at least you'll be safe in here! *She begins closing the lid*
Adrien: *Grabs the lid* Please be careful, you guys.
Ladybug: Oh... we'll be fine. Thank you, and you stay out of harm's way, okay?
Spider- X: I'll web up the other rooms.. *goes outside the hall*
Ladybug: *She closes the lid and places a kiss to the head of the display*
Scene: Outside the Louvre.
Riposte approaches quickly, scaling some officers. She jumps high and slices off the top of the Pyramid, jumping into the Museum to find the two hero's waiting for her.
Riposte: Where did you hide Adrien?!
Ladybug: You actually think I'd tell you? This is just between you and us, Riposte!
Riposte: You can't cut it? Fine. I'm going to defeat you bothand take your Miraculous! Then I'll go and find him!
Spider-X: We won't let you lay a Damn hand on him! So go ahead and try!
*Ladybug, Spider-X and Riposte lunge at each other*
Scene: King Tut exhibit.
Adrien: It's time we went and joined them in battle.
Plagg: Didn't you hear what Ladybug said? She said to wait here! You can't disobey her!
Adrien: I've gotta help her! Plagg, Claws Out!
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir while still inside the sarcophagus in a flash of green light. Cat Noir opens the sarcophagus display, peeks around, gets out, and closes the lid. He begins running, only for his ankle to act up again
Ladybug, Spider-X and Riposte are still fighting and Ladybug falls to the ground, Kagami's saber lodging itself in a painting and Riposte goes to attack ladybug, only to be blocked by Cat Noir's staff..
Riposte: Cat Noir!
Cat Noir: A fencing tournament at the Louvre? How come I wasn't invited?
Ladybug: *She gets to her feet and pulls Kagami's saber out of the painting* Let me guess: you were late because you were at the groomers again?
Cat Noir: I was preening myself, Milady. You know how long it takes cats to get ready.
Spider-X: a true fact for real cats eveeywhere.
He and Ladybug begin to attack Riposte, who can only defend and is knocked into a wall. She finds herself a the end of Cat Noir's staff and the saber.
Ladybug: Checkmate, Riposte!
Riposte: You've got the wrong sport, Ladybug! I think you mean: attaque toi! *She slams into Cat Noir, knocking him back and making his injured ankle act up*
Ladybug: *Turns to him* You okay, Cat Noir?
Riposte takes advantage of her distraction and attacks Ladybug, which then sends her to fly out of the room. Riposte then stabs an alarm button with her blade, bringing a gate down between them and the male heroes..
Cat Noir: Ladybug!
Riposte: Ready to lose, Ladybug? *She again engages Ladybug in a fight, forcing her downstairs*
Cat Noir: Cataclysm
He uses Cataclysm on the bars, rusting them and allowing himself to get through. Cat Noir attempts to limps after Ladybug and Riposte, until Spider-X offers a hand..
Spider-X: Need a lift?
Cat noir: Heh. Better than limping..
Scene: King Tut exhibit.
Riposte sends Ladybug flying onto her back in the exhibit and Kagami's saber falls out of her reach. Ladybug looks at the sarcophagus, which clues Riposte into where Ladybug hid Adrien.
Riposte: Of course. *She jumps around near the ceiling of the room until she reaches the sarcophagus* Piece by piece The hour of revenge will be stricken!
Ladybug: No!
(Riposte slices apart the sarcophagus, which is quite empty to the surprise of Ladybug and Riposte. Ladybug gets to her feet and uses the same trick with the alarm button Riposte did to trap Cat Noir before. Cat Noir slides down into the room with Ladybug.)
Ladybug: He's gone!
Cat Noir: *flustered* Uhh, who?
Ladybug: Riposte is trying to attack on Adrien Agreste to reveal y/n! I hid him inside the sarcophagus!
Cat Noir: Maybe he was feeling a little... claws-trophobic?
Ladybug: (stares at him, speechlessly.)
Spider-X: *thoughts* And i thought Peters puns are lame..
Riposte: Let's look for him together, Ladybug- and finish this match! *She cuts apart the bars and nearly hits Ladybug*
Ladybug: Grr! Lucky Charm! *spectrual ladybugs form together to be a raditaor. It falls down into her hands* A radiator?
Cat Noir: Great. That should really heat things up.
Ladybug: Hmph. *Ladybug's eyes alight on Riposte's sword* The akuma has to be in her sword!
Cat Noir: Then why don't we get to the point?
Ladybug: *She gives a small laugh*
Ladybug, Cat Noir, Spider-X and Riposte begin attacking each other. Ladybug blocking Riposte's blade with the radiator. Spider-X shooting webs from his wrist, proving futile, as they were blocked by the villain.
Cat Noir: Grrr, she's too quick!
Ladybug's Lucky Charm visualization alights on Cat Noir's tail, Riposte's sword arm, Spider-X's webbing and the radiator
Ladybug: I need your belt, Cat Noir! Also, your webbing Spidey!
Spider-X: Alright.
Cat Noir: Get ready!
He removes his belt as he and Ladybug rush Riposte again. As he throws her the belt, she throws him the radiator, which he then holds out so Riposte runs it through.
Cat Noir: En garde!
Ladybug hooks Cat Noir's belt around the guard of Riposte's sword. Spider-X shot a web at Riposte's left hand and glued it with her sword..
Ladybug: Prêt...!
Riposte: *gasps*
Ladybug and Cat Noir: Allez!
They both pull back and yank Riposte's sword to the side, snapping it and knocking her back. The akuma flies out.
Ladybug: *runs her finger down the middle of her yo-yo* No more evildoing for you, little akuma. *She spins her yo-yo and throws it at the akuma* Time to de-evilize! *The akuma is captured* Gotcha! *she releases the purified akuma* Bye-bye, little butterfly! *Ladybug throws the radiator into the air*
The Miraculous Ladybug ladybugs repair all the damage done and Riposte turns back into Kagami.
Kagami: What happened?
Ladybug/Spider-X/Cat Noir: Pound it!
Cat Noir's ring bleeps, and so does y/n's..
Spider-X: Aww..out of time already?
Ladybug: a-a mirac-
Cat Noir: *interrupts* Gotta go. Have a vet's appointment to get to. Take care of the young lady, will you? *He runs out of sight*
Spider-X: I have to go before I change back. Until next time.
Ladybug: Wait..at least tell me where y/n l/n is.
Spider-X: Inside a mummy exhibit. Ciao. *web swings away*
Ladybug: Ok. *approaches Kagami and kneels in front of her, putting a hand on her shoulder* Everything's okay.
Kagami sighs and stares at Ladybug in awe.
[Y/n's POV]
I swinged to an empty exhibit and when the coast is clear, I relaxed..
Y/n: Ok..Web Release!
A crimson outline covered me from feet to head, as My cousins changed to my civilian attire..
Nusa: I can tell you liked the power?
Y/n: You bet I did.
Nusa: You have other abilities as well. But i rather tell you tommorow.
Y/n: Ok. I better get outside
Nusa: Peace. *flies into ring*
I ran outside, to see if my friend is ok..
[Back to the exhibit]
Cat Noir: (Hastily ducks out of sight behind a cat statue and whispers) Claws in.
Plagg: *Wriggling around in Adrien's hand* Ohhhh... All this sport has made me hungryyyyy.
Adrien: Later. Shh! *places plagg into his pocket and watches Ladybug and Kagami approach*
Ladybug: You go on. I have to find some guys.
Kagami: Thanks. *She leaves*
Ladybug: Where could they have gone?
Adrien: *Steps out into sight* Ladybug?
Ladybug: *Sighs in relief* There you are!
Adrien: Yeah, I'm sorry. I figured it would be better to escape before Riposte came along. Besides, I... *He scratches the back of his head awkwardly* ... hate to be locked up. (He looks at her sheepishly)
Ladybug: *gasps* I'm so sorry! You did the right thing. *She shakes her head in shame*
Adrien: *moves as if to say something, then seemingly opts to say something else* S-so, uh... So Cat Noir finally turned up, huh?
Ladybug: Yes, thankfully! But he wasn't the only hero.
Adrien: Oh? Is that so..
Ladybug: Yeah. Between you and me, Cat noir much better at fencing! *She mimes fencing*
Adrien: *chuckles* And... Riposte?
Ladybug: The girl is safe. *Her earrings beep* Oh no! I'm about to change back! *glances between Adrien and Kagami's saber, then resigns herself and points to it* You should let y/n be the one to return that.
Adrien: Of course.
Adrien walks up to the saber and picks it up, then looks back at Ladybug, who stops to look at him.
Ladybug: Bug out! *She smiles and waves before departing*
Adrien smiles after her, then thinks of something..
Adrien: What does Ladybug do to capture some guys heart?
Scene: Outside the Louvre.
Kagami is seen, walking away from the Pyramid.
Announcement: The Akuma Alert has been called off. The Louvre will soon be opening. Thank you for your cooperation.
Kagami: *she calls her chauffeur* I'm at the Louvre. Come when you can. *she hangs up*
???: Excuse me?
Kagami jumps and gasps, turning around to see Adrien walking up with y/n, holding her saber
Kagami: Listen, I- *she sighs*
Kagami ,Adrien, and y/n stand around awkwardly..
Adrien/Kagami/(your/name): I'm sorry.
Kagami bows respectfully as she speaks,
Y/n: *holding out Kagami's saber with both hands* Perhaps you'll agree to take this back now?
Kagami: *she goes to grab her saber, then turns away, clutching her hands to her chest* No, I lost. You keep it.
Y/n: I personally think the point was yours.
Kagami: That's not what your friend saw.
Adrien: Marinette can get flustered easily. She's kind and means well. She'd never cheat. Today was her first-ever experience with fencing.
Kagami: *she looks surprised for a moment, then smiles* You two like her a lot, huh?
Y/n: Marinette? Yeah, of course! She's a very good friend, and you'll really like her too, once you get to know her.
The camera cuts to Marinette, who is watching their conversation from behind a display, ducks out of sight
Marinette *feeling down* A very "good friend", huh?
Tikki: That sounds like a good start to me!
Y/n: Please, take it. good talents such as yourself should be tarnished over one loss*holds out Kagami's saber to her* And the honest, we are still tied.
Kagami: Tied?
Y/n: You got the first point in the first round. The second battle was a draw, and the thrid one was when I got the point. So..yeah, it's a tie.
Adrien: Oh. Yeah. Now I remember.
Y/n: So, Kagami..will you accept your blade back?
Kagami: *She glances between y/n and her saber for a moment before taking it back* I'll be happy to get to know your friend Marinette! and you especially in the academy. *smiles*
Y/n: Can't wait for you to be our classmate tommorow. Best of luck to you. *offers handshake*
Kagami takes Y/n's proffered hand and shakes it, then walks to her car. She looks back at him..
Kagami: Get ready for that decisive match!
Y/n: I can't wait, Kagami.
Kagami nods with a smile in reply and gets in her car, which drives off.
Adrien: Kagami.. she's something.
Y/n: You can say that again
the view cuts back to Marinette, who has sunk to the ground.
Tikki: At least you know how much Adrien and y/n values your friendship.
Marinette: *slumps* I know! Great, so they like me. But I don't want one of them to just like me! I mean- I do, but, you know- I don't know how to choose between boys *she hugs herself*
While Marinette is rambling, Adrien's driver pulls up and the boys said their goodbyes, then Adrien leaves. Y/n decides to go home himself..
Tikki: In that case, you might have to work on your fencing! And.. this lone triangle you have
Marinette: WWHHAATT..*She laughs and points her finger at Tikki like a saber* On your guard, Tikki! *She and Tikki pretend to fence with Marinette's finger and Tikki's whole arm and continue laughing*
