CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Tiffy is now grateful that Benji had invited him as a replacement for Andy. At first, Tiffy was uncomfortable with the idea but seeing how there is an akuma attack taking place, he was happy that he was close to the action. "I gotta go!" Benji had exclaimed running off.

"Benji!" Tiffy chased after Benji but the boy was faster than he had expected. Benji took a sharp turn and Tiffy followed, losing his footing and crashing into a child.  "Sorry," Tiffy helped the child up.

"Watching where you are fucking going!" The child, a boy around seven said, Tiffy stared at the child in shock and then turned to the kid's mother who was only glaring at him.

"I- right," Tiffy remembered what Renard had told him, kids there learn to swear before they turn three, usually Tiffy wouldn't take Renard's word for anything but he wasn't lying. "Bye."

Tiffy ran the way he had last seen Benji, he had lost him. Tiffy tried to swallow the taste in his mouth, he hasn't only Benji for long, only for three weeks to be exact but for the last week and a half Benji has been different, more on edge and Benji running off like that left a bad taste in his mouth. Benji is hiding something big and Tiffy can tell he is scared about whatever he is hiding. Tiffy sighed before running into the closest portable toilet, "Plagg, claws out."

"Akuma is the fortuneteller, Madame O'Dear. She got akumatised protecting Jorden High student Lee Stanford," Tartaruga informed grimly.

"How do you know all that?" Renard asked.

Tartaruga glared at Renard, Night Noir took note that Tartaruga wasn't in the mood to deal with people, every battle one of them seemed to be like that. "I ran into Lee, she told me about it all."

"She?" Renard repeated, the fox-themed hero's voice was barely above a whisper but thanks to Night's enhanced cat hearing he could hear it. Night doesn't know much about Lee but he knows that Lee is gender-fluid and usually uses he/him pronouns. Night didn't think much about Tartaruga, he probably doesn't know Lee usually prefers he/him, he thought to himself.

"Did Lee know the object?"

"Yeah," Tartaruga answered Night, seemingly slightly less annoyed at the question, "It was her crystal ball."

"In her tent?"

Tartaruga shook his head, "No, she took it with her."

"So we take her magic ball, easy enough." Night Noir wanted to agree but they didn't know Madame O'Dear, powers or anything.

Night looked around, they are Australia's largest annual event, which more than 82000 people visit daily (tiffy did some research after benji told him about the easter show) at least when they fought Oruga, Luna Park was close but now, it's midday and thousands of people are in danger. "We need to her."

"No duh, if we fight her here I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to sue us."

Night doubted someone would sue them but he didn't plan on testing that theory. "Hey! Ma- mad-" Night struggled to remember the word, 'it's madame o'dear' he heard Plagg tell him. "Thank you," Night muttered to Plagg. "Madame O'Dear!"

The akumatised villain turns to Night. "Great plan, what now?" Renard questioned.

"We run."

Night has done far too much running today. "Why are we running?" Souris ran up to Night, Tartaruga and Renard. "Where is everyone else?"

"We're moving Madame O'Dear out of the showgrounds."

"Oh, fun."

Night Noir glared at Souris with a look of confusion, in what world is running away from an akumatised victim considering run? "They coming."

"We hope," Tartaruga added.

Madame O'Dear was following behind them, shouting the cliché 'give me your miraculous' seriously do akumas ever get annoyed with how repetitive they sound?

In a flash of red and black, Night spotted his favourite of the heroes. "Sorry for being late guys," Ladybeetle's voice was shaky and he looked as if he hadn't slept in days.

Night's eyebrows crossed in confusion, "Lb, you okay?"

Ladybeetle nodded, "I'm fine, just been having a lot of headaches lately, no biggie."

Night didn't believe Ladybeetle but he knew this wasn't the time to argue with his partner, so instead, he smiled, "Be careful."

"I will, thanks."

"Awwwww," Souris grinned as he watched the two older boys interact. "That's so cute."

Night smirked as he noticed a blush appear on Ladybeetle's face but decided not to say anything.

"Almost out-" The group of heroes ran out the front gates, most people who were lining up had already left so it was a safe area, well at least safer than being around a bunch of high rides and thousands of people.

"We're here!" Night heard a voice squeal. He turned to find Honeybee and Peafowl together, he raised an eyebrow as he looked at Honey, the superheroine grinned in response.

"Great! Let's start this thing-"

Madame O'Dear got Ladybeetle with her crystal ball, and pictures in her ball started to flash, the images were going so fast that he was only able to make out one picture, some kid in a hospital bed.

"A hero without a past," Madame O'Dear started to say, Night just thought it was just gibberish but Ladybeetle turned pale. "A boy healed from a cast. He must learn to trust, or his legacy will become dust-"

"Stop that!" Ladybeetle snapped.

"Broken between two,
His heart and blood,
A friend will become his foe,
Before he can learn to trust a whole."

"What the hell was that?" Ladybeetle asked the akuma.

"Lb, calm-"

"Your prophecy. I am Oracle, give me your miraculous, so Mariposa can make her wish come true."

"Like hell that's going to happen. Lucky charm!" Ladybeetle threw his yo-yo in the air and got a phone, Night watched Ladybeetle's face as his eyes gleamed. "I need to go, Renard come with me."

"You can't just leave mid battle," Honeybee crossed her arms.

"I know, I'm sorry but it's what my lucky charm wants."

"It is fine, we got it."

"Thank you, Night."

Ladybeetle and Renard left leaving the group and Oracle alone. "Awww," Souris teased, this time Peafowl joining in.

[ With Renard ]

"What are we doing?"

Renard and Ladybeetle stood on the showground, Renard watched as Ladybeetle was keenly texting someone on his yo-yo. "I think my miraculous wanted me to contact Ladybug."

"What-"

Renard was stopped mid-sentence as a middle-aged Asian woman and Jument stepped out of a portal, "Holy shit!" Renard exclaimed as he stared at the lady, "I know you, you're the lady with the creepy smile."

"Creepy smile?" Marinette questioned with a laugh. "I'm Ladybug," she turned to Ladybeetle, "You said your lucky charm wanted me."

"Um, yes. I got a phone," the boy handed Marinette a phone with a ladybug on the screen. "I think it wants me to get a miraculous."

Jument was looking in between the two trying to understand the conversation, "Oh right that's my job," Renard cleared his throat before he began to translate.

Marinette nodded her head, "I trust you judgment Ladybeetle. What miraculous do you need?"

"Er..." Ladybeetle thought about the miraculouses, he had tried to memorised them all just in case it came in handy. "The dragon."

Marinette reached for Ladybeetle's yoyo, "May I?" Ladybeetle nodded.

Marinette put her hand in the yo-yo and grabbed out the dragon miraculous, "What- that's so cool! How did you do that?"

"I have a few tricks up my sleeves. Have you chosen a holder yet?"

"Not exactly-"

"I have!" Renard said with a grinned, "She'll be perfect."

[ Back With Night Noir ]

Something was definitely different between Honeybee and Peafowl, and Night feared he might know what. "Honey," Night whispered to the younger girl as they fought Oracle.

The raven haired girl turned her attention to Night, Peafowl watching her back and hitting away Oracle's attempts to read Honeybee's prophecy. "Yes?"

"What this?" Night asked as Honey grinned.

"I'll tell you after this."

Night nodded before turning his attention back to Oracle and the team.

"Where is Ladybeetle?" Renard asked impatiently.

"Yeah?" Souris echoed, though when the younger boy asked he had a different tone, he was more curious than annoyed.

Night had to admit he was curious as well, he wondered what Ladybeetle's idea was.

Oracle aimed her ball at Night as he cataclysmed the beam that went to hit him, "You not reading this black cat."

"Woo! Go Night!" Peafowl cheered.

Night grinned, "Thank."

Ladybeetle, Souris and a younger girl showed up, "Guys, this is..."

The girl grinned, her dark brown hair was up in a high ponytail and a gold and red mask was hiding her face, "I'm Gold-Dragon."

"Omg!" Peafowl squealed as they walked up to the girl, "Your costume is so cool!"

Gold-Dragon shuffled uncomfortably, "Thank you?"

The akumatised villain aimed at one of the heroes while they were distracted.
