Chapter 5: The First Victim, The Strict Laws
Hey everyone! Clippy checking in again. So, Emma got her miraculous taken last chapter, and Angela's now the new holder! As well, we got to see the speech that they did...But let's get back to Hugo and Angela, shall we?
Enjoy!
"Hugo, are you even listening!?" Angela squealed, snapping Hugo out of his train of thought. He chuckled, "I apologize," he paused, "what were you rambling on about?" Angela huffed as the prince smirked, "I was talking about Jonathan!" She shot back.
"Go talk to your other friends about him," he mumbled, "I don't know how to respond if I can not relate in the slightest." "Yeah, what would you know about having a boyfriend," she giggled, "unless there is something you're not telling me."
He groaned, "I like girls, Miss. Cunningham," "what impression did I give against that?" He paused, "May I add that I am starting a male-ran female selection?"
She giggled, "I thought you said your parents set it up."
He sighed, "Why are we talking about this?" "Hey!" -she crossed her arms- "you brought it up!" "I believe that you did-" he cleared his throat, "-Miss. Cunningham." Her brows furrowed, "Angela!" She squeaked, "my name is Angela!"
"Of course I know that," he smirked, "but I prefer Miss. Cunningham." "Also," he sighed, "stop talking about Jonathan to me," -he rubbed the back of his neck- "he sounds like a plain idiot." "Hey!" -she crossed her arms- "but fine."
"I heard that the girls are coming on Friday," she sparked conversation once more, "you excited?" "No," he muttered, "as you know, I never had the desire for The Selection to exist." Angela bit her lip, not knowing how to reply.
"Did you put in an entry for the competition?" Hugo added gently. "I couldn't have tried out, remember?" Hugo didn't reply, Angela feeling to go on. "Jonathan is my boyfriend, and you can't have a relationship while in the competition."
"I suppose so," Hugo breathed he rubbed the back of his neck. "I'll have to excuse myself though, I'm late for one of my classes." She tossed him a smile, the prince straightening his cravat before taking off. He raced down the hall, his sight line directing back to the papers in his hands.
He glanced up slightly, noticing the princess in his peripheral vision. He glanced to the right; his sister looked like she was half dead. "Emma?" he asked, catching her attention. "Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied mindlessly. Hugo walked up to her, dropping his papers on the ground. He examined her face as the princess glared at him. "Have you been drinking?" The princess jumped at the statement.
"WHAT! OF COURSE NOT!" she paused, wincing, "...why do you ask?" "You look like you just came back from the dead." He shot back, smirking slightly. "Wow, gee, thanks," she muttered sarcastically. "But, are you getting enough sleep?" He followed up.
"HUGO, I TOLD YOU!" -she sighed- "I'm fine." "You don't look very-fine," the prince rolled his eyes. "Is it possible that something else may be bothering you?"
"I can't tell you that, now can I?" she muttered under her breath, her lips curving into a candied smile.
He didn't let the shock be evident on his face, but he realized that her mood was off because he had stolen her earrings.
"Is there something I could do?" "No, not this one Hugo," she rubbed her face, "oh wait, there is one thing?" "...Well, what is it?" he asked impatiently, "I don't have all day." She glared at him, "could you give me a hug?"
"Why a hug?" "Because you hate them." He glared at her, then wrapping his arms around his sister. She smirked childishly, "You know, you're name does have 'hug' in it-" "I'm letting go now."
He backed up, Emma giggling while he smirked slightly. "Thanks," she muttered, "that helped." "Goodness, do you have to be so cliche all the time?" Hugo scoffed with a smile. "Hey!" she shot back, "at least I actually feel things!"
"Oh, I feel plenty of things," -he crossed his arms- "you just don't pick up on them." "Oh really?" She dared, "like what?" "You'll just have to wait and see," -he turned around- "and keep a good eye."
***
"AUGH!" Angela groaned, "WHY DOES MOM GIVE ME SO MUCH STUFF TO DO!?" Tikki giggled, "If we start now, then you can still go for your walk with Hugo!" "W-Who said I want to walk with that grump?" Angela then laughed, "but, he's my best friend, so I still love him."
"Hmm," -Tikki thought for a moment- "he's very formal," she concluded, giggling. Angela laughed, "oh, yes he is." "But, it's that trait that makes up the Hugo I know," Angela added.
Angela laughed at herself, "I could never imagine Hugo being anything but that." "You really like him, huh?" Tikki swarmed around her. She giggled, "Well duh," she placed a folded dress down, "he's my best friend after all."
She shifted slightly, "What's happening-!"
The palace shook, Angela tipping over and landing against the door. "W-What!?" -she stood up- "what's happening!?" She ran out into the hall, the palace ground shifting. She ran back into the room, shutting the door tightly.
"Time to transform!" Angela shouted, breathing heavily. "Spots on!" the red light washed over her, the red ladybug mask appearing with a candy red glow. Golden ribbons wrapped her hair into a high ponytail, her yo-yo appearing in a small cloud of red mist.
She jumped out of the room, bouncing off the railing and falling the several flights of stairs as she air whipped ponytail. She landed onto the floor, tossing a quick nod at her partner.
"Glad you made it," he breathed, "but, I don't see the victim." "Is it possible they're invisible?" -she met backs with him- "because there is definitely something in this palace."
"There is nothing in the palace."
Both of the superheroines turned, both of them now facing the king.
"Y-Your Majesty," Lady Rouge fumbled, then clearing her throat. "Uh, we did definitely see the movement in the palace. How is would there be nothing here?" "We have already taken care of the matter," Adrien shot back, "it seems that the palace shaking was a supervillain, and we took care-"
The akuma launched themselves in front of the teens, Lady Rouge then winding her yo-yo around it. She thrust it backwards, Monsieur Noir ripping out his sword and jumping to the opposite side.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect," -Monsieur Noir sucked in a breath- "leave the akumas to us." He ran up to the villain, punching him in the face. "Object, object, object," Lady Rouge muttered, "THERE!" she yelled, pointing to its broach.
Monsieur Noir kept him pinned against the wall, Lady Rouge stealing the broach and trying to break it. "I-IT WON'T BUDGE!" she yelled, then tossing it to Monsieur Noir. She wound up her yo-yo, Monsieur Noir shutting his eyes.
"CATACLYSM!"
A black flash of magic caused the king to spiral backwards, Lady Rouge's eyes widening. He smirked slightly, crushing the broach between his claws as the butterfly flew out. She rushed to capture it in her yo-yo, then taking a quick breather.
"How do I revert the damage without a lucky charm?" Lady Rouge asked her partner, the victim now leaning against the wall of the palace. "The item, you can use it for this matter." He handed her the crushed jewel, Lady Rouge tossing him an unsure glance.
"Miraculous Lady Rouge!"
Red Ladybugs flooded from the broken object, swarming around the palace as Monsieur Noir stared in awe. "That will never get old," -he sighed warmly- "that is gorgeous." Lady Rouge caught the broach in her palm, looking back to the man that had been most recently akumatized.
"Hello," she paused, "here is your broach back, and Monsieur Noir can take you home." Monsieur Noir offered a hand, Lady Rouge glancing back to face the king. He was dumbstruck, but slowly clapped after.
"Congratulations, that was truly something," -he cleared his throat- "though, I must make the same arrangements I had made with your partner."
"Yes, that's fine," she responded politely.
"We permit you to use your magic jewels, though if any incidents involving you or your partner will end in jail time or an execution."
"If you are able to follow that primary rule, then you are welcome to keep using your powers."
Lady Rouge had many issues with the deal. She had thought since she was saving the kingdom she would have the power to use her jewels at any time. Of course, if Monsieur Noir had agreed, at least until Hugo was king she would have to follow these rules.
"I'm fine with the rules, Your Majesty."
Well, you got to witness the first akuma fight with MN and LR! Very fun, much great. So, you can see that LR isn't happy with the rules set in place, but do you think she will do anything to change them?
Well, anyway, I hope you enjoyed, and stay tuned! Have a great day/night :)
