City Hall
The two of you followed Darkblade from a safe distance away, hopping along the rooftops of houses and restaurants until it was clear were he was leading you.
"Oh no!" you cried out. You turned to look at Chat Noir, whose face matched your's. "He's going to City Hall. It's being used for a class campaign today! It's full of children!"
You heard the sound of trumpets playing some distance off, and followed to see the battalion surrounding City Hall. When the trumpets had finished sounding, Mayor Bourgeois, Marinette, and Rose stuck their faces out of a small sliver of the opened door.
"O-ye, o-ye! Darkblade shalt speak now!" One of the knights yelled towards them. "Listen or be imprisoned!"
Darkblade stepped out from the group and presented his long black sword. "Henceforth, my flag shalt fly over thy kingdom!" He growled and held up the sword, pointing it at the Mayor, who was cowering behind the door. "Bourgeois, pathetic knave, come hither and do battle!"
Words were exchanged among those in City Hall, then Mayor Bourgeois yelled out, "Ehh... Ask my secretary for an appointment!" and slammed the doors shut.
Darkblade chuckled darkly to himself. "Bow down to Darkblade, or feel the wrath of mine sword!"
The knights began to chant ominously as they approached the doors of City Hall, but Chat Noir had sprung into action before they took more than a couple steps. He jumped down from a rooftop and simultaneously threw his staff as though it were a boomerang. It hit three knights in the chest, knocking them down, before swirling back into Chat Noir's hand.
"Take him!" Darkblade screeched. The knights began to rush Chat Noir, but you jumped between them and knocked them backwards with your nunchucks in one swoop.
"Guys, do you only know heavy metal?" Chat Noir teased. You rolled your eyes playfully and shoved him lightly.
"You can do son much better than that," you joked. He grinned.
The knights stood up once again and charged the two of you. One had managed to grab you, but Chat Noir yanked you back and kicked the knight in the chest. You thanked him quickly and split off from him to take half the knights to yourself.
The one closest to you swung his axe at your neck, but you slid underneath it, and with your nunchcks you took his feet out from under him. As you stood up a knight with a sword slashed at your torso, you backflipped away, then, grabbing his sword by the tip of the blade, you pulled him forward and jumped up to wrapped your legs around his neck. You squeezed your thighs together, swinging your body so that you could put him in the floor. The helmet popped off to reveal no one inside, rather a hollow suit of armor.
You got up quickly and resumed fighting. Behind you, metal clanked loudly as Chat Noir had been dogpiled. You ran to help him but a force on your hair pulled you backwards. Darkblade had grabbed you by the ends of your hair, holding it tightly in his fist.
"Hello, Batwing. I don't think we've met," a voice came from Darkblade, but it wasn't his regular voice. You tried to look at him, only catching a glimpse.
"Hawkmoth!" you gasped.
He chuckled and nodded. "Yes, I am Hawkmoth, and I know about your Horrendous. The ability to fix all destruction, and you aren't even using it to its full potential." You struggled against him, but other knights had come and held you in place.
"I don't know what you're talking about! Chat! Help!"
Sensing that he was about to lose his opportunity, Darkblade slipped the ring off your finger and threw you to the ground. You began to slowly detransform from the bottom upwards. In a panic you searched for the helmet you knocked off the knight and pulled it on. Immediately you felt the effects of Hawk Moth's magic trying to transform you into a knight.
You glanced around to see Chat Noir staring at you with wide eyes, but before he could say anything Darkblade jumped from the roof to fight Chat Noir. "Part le fer!" he yelled, slashing at Chat Noir with his sword. You looked around for a place to hide, and the best you could do was run into City Hall.
When you had made it inside you carefully snuck past the students whose eyes were glued to the window. "Where did Batwing go!?" Alya asked nervously. "Do you think she was turned into a knight?"
"I don't know! There was too much going on!" Nino replied, shaking his head.
Your walked turned into a sprint, and before you knew it, you weren't watching where you were going and you crashed straight into a table, the helmet falling off your head and rolling out of sight.
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?"
You grunted and rolled over onto your back. When you opened your eyes you saw a girl looking over you with caramel-brown skin and large doe eyes. She had to be some sort of Asian but you couldn't tell, and now wasn't the time to ask.
Your classmates ran over and huddled around you. "(Y/N), where have you been?"
"I-I was on my way here when Darkblade attacked me. Batwing saved me and helped me get inside, but I don't know where she went after that." You felt sweat trickle down your forehead and released a long breath.
"Oh my gosh! (Y/N)! You totally would do something like this to ruin my campaign!" It was Chloe. She had shoved her way to you and crossed her arms, jutting her hip sassily. "Look what you did to Jennie Kim! I bet she was completely terrified!" Chloe yelled, but you were more worried about what Hawk Moth was going to do with your ring and whether Chat Noir would get it back.
You finally stood up, with help from Jennie. You thanked her and she smiled.
"Well," Jennie said. "We need to go find Batwing."
