Cube nudges my shoulder. What did he want now? I groan, trying to work on my homework.
"Yes, Cube?"

"I'm bored," he whines. Is he serious? "Yeah, me too. I've got homework to do." He mumbled something incoherent and dug himself into my hood.

"I want someone to get akumatized." I sputter and accidentally scratch my math paper. What did he just say?

"What did you say Cube," I ask. He said, he wants someone to be alumatized? That's terrible!
"Not in a bad way, but I want more action. I've gained weight," he moans and hold his stomach, now in front of me.

Now that I look at him, he has gotten thicker. I grumble, closing my unfinished work and put it away.

"Wings out!"
My suit tightens around my body and I chill on top of my roof.

Hm, what to do, what to do.
On cue, my miraculous signals a phone call. "Yes," I say, answering it.
"I need some help. A fencing student has been akumatized and is chasing after Adrien Agreste, he's hurt his ankle and I need you to protect him," was all Ladybug said before she ends the call.

"Well, Cube, time for some action." Oh, the irony. I stretch my wings and take flight, finding my way towards Lady.

I swoop down to see Adrien clutching his ankle, face screwed up in pain, while Lady fights off an akumatized woman in silver, chrome metal?

She looks like a really bad terminator. I jump down after Ladybug has knocked away Riposte for the time being. "You called?"

Both, Adrien and Ladybug jump. Damn, was I that sneaky. There's no way you didn't see a dragon-like figure flying around. Nope, guess not.

"Take him and follow me," Lady says, zipping away. I grab Adrien and spread my wings, taking flight. His arms wrap around my neck as I follow Ladybug.

We make it to the museum. "Where is Cat," I ask once we've landed. Adrien rubs his head, almost nervously. Okay? Just a bit weird. "Maybe he's...busy."

She leads us into the hallways where all of the stuff on Pharaohs and all that is. Yeah, I need to catch up on my history.

She has me place Adrien in a sarcophagus. Is she crazy? Hm, must be. "Why are we putting him here likes he's dying?"

She shakes her head. I guess, she doesn't want to deal like my crap today. "He's safest here, but I need you to stay, just in case," she calls after running down the hallway, leaving me alone with Adrien.

Party pooper, huh? Why don't I get any fun with glowing woman? Is that offensive? Probably.

"Yeah, not the safest place to hide," I mutter, taking the top back off of the sarcophagus. Adrien looks at me wide-eyed, causing a blush to creep up my neck.

"You stay here, not in that though. I'll go help Ladybug." He nods, understanding. Before I run, Adrien grabs my hand. "Hm?"
"Be...careful."
"T-thanks."

Did I just stutter? Oh lord, I did. It doesn't make sense why he's so worried.
I run along more hallways, just to run into the one and only, Ladybug, fighting Riposte. "What happened to keeping the action outside," I question, joining in on the fight.

My daggers unsheathe, seemingly an advantage to Riposte's one sword. She knocks Ladybug's sabre from her hand. Ahem, where did she get that? It really doesn't matter.

Out blades collide, but Riposte was more prepared, and threw me back into Lady. At the last minute, Cat Noir jumps into, blocking Riposte's attack.

"Hello, Ma chérie. Hello, Ladybug," he greets. Lady and I lock hands and use each other to corner Riposte, pointing out our weapons like a sabre.

"Wrong move, animals. You mean Attaque et point!" Riposte shouts and reflects our blades. While Lady helps Cat Noir up, I take my swing at Riposte.

I backhanded Riposte with my left dagger, sending her to the floor, falling with as she dragged me with. "That chill rattled my bones," I quip, despite being throw into the ceiling.

Lady groans at my poor attempt at a pun. On her side, it really wasn't the best one. "I'm just winging it as I go," I shrug, tossing my body across the floor to dodge Riposte's blade.

The fire alarm is set off, closing Cat from both Ladybug and I. Riposte chases us down the stares, swinging her blade.

Cat Noir uses Cataclysm to break free from the bars. "I guess, that kitty doesn't like cages." Whew, smooth!

"Time to freeze," I shout, ice coating my hands. As I get close to Riposte, Cat knocks into me. I land on my floor, my hands supporting me.

The ice now coats the floor and my power was now wasted. "Sorry," Cat Noir said, sheepishly rubbing his neck. Really, dude? Now I'm going to have no time to fight!"

I roll my eyes and pick myself up. Forgive me, ma belle?" I grab his held out hand, him placing a kiss on my own and get back to fighting.

My miraculous beeps, cutting off my attack, giving Riposte the upper hand in countering my hits. "Sorry, guys."

Just as I turn the corner, the sarcophagus Adrien had been put in was slashed to pieces. Oops, good luck with that.

I fly home and de-transform. "Rest easy." Cube grabs some ice from the freezer and joins me in my room.
"Nice attack," he teases. Is this kwami serious? He looked skinnier at least.

I snort, tossing my piece of ice at him. "Watch out, or you'll turn to ice."
