Crocoduel 2.0

Adrien is in the kitchen eating some pancakes, as Gabriel cooks them.  Adrien savors the pancakes, and smiles as he devours them.  Gabriel, hearing his son being happy, smiles as well.  "So, Adrien.  I heard that your school prom is coming up pretty soon.  Since this is a big time for you, I was wondering, do you have any girls you are interested in taking?"  Gabriel asked.  "Come on Dad."  Adrien replied.  "Come on.  I remember my prom.  It wasn't with your Mother, but someone else that you know.  Audrey."  Gabriel said.  "As in, Chloe's Mom?"  Adrien asked.  "Yep.  We weren't dating at the time, but decided to go just as friends.  Then, as you know, we found people who best suited us."  Gabriel replied.  "Yeah.  And then Mom, passed away."  Adrien said sad.  "I know she's gone, but... she will forever live in our hearts.  Besides, I'm sure she's proud of her young man right now."  Gabriel replied.  "I bet she is.  And I hope she will be, when I ask Marinette to the dance."  Adrien said.  "Hold up, you want to ask Marinette to the dance?  The pigtailed one?"  Gabriel asked.  "Well... ok fine.  Not only do I want to ask her, but... I like her.  Like, like, like her."  Adrien replied.  "No way!  My son is in love?"  Gabriel asked.  "Your not... upset with me are you?"  Adrien asked back.  "Not at all.  Son, you didn't tell me your in love.  That's so awesome for you.  Ohhh, did you ask her out?  Held her hand?"  Gabriel asked wanting answers.  "Gabriel, chill for a second.  Your making your son feel uncomfortable."  Nathalie replied coming in to save the day.  "Oh sorry.  Please, Adrien.  Explain if you want."  Gabriel said.  "We did go on a few dates.  Swimming pool, movies, Ferris wheel, which nearly killed us.  But, I did mange to hold her hand once.  It was dumb of me, but she didn't seem that uncomfortable about it.  Who knows?  Maybe she will be the one for me.  If not, that's fine.  Though the heartbreak will hurt."  Adrien replied.  "I'm sure she'll be lucky to have you."  Gabriel said.  "[smiles].  Thanks Dad.  [phone rings].  Ohh, I have to go.  The band is about to play.  I'll see you guys afternoon."  Adrien replied, as he leaves.  Once gone, and out the door, the adults can now chat.  "How was that?  Too much?"  Gabriel asked.  "You were a little too obsessive over your son.  Granted, that is how most Dad's react to their son's love life.  Still, you can do better."  Nathalie replied.  "I will."  Gabriel said.  "Now onto business.  Have you decided whether to quit or not?"  Nathalie asked.  "I'm still thinking.  It's such a hard choice in the end.  I really want Emilie to come back after that monster took her out, but now, I also want to be the loving Dad I was to Adrien.  Me wanting to help get Emilie back makes my son hate these akumas.  But my son hating these akumas make me have to stop chasing Emilie.  No matter what I choose, there will be a price to pay.  I plan to come up with a decision soon.  I promise."  Gabriel replied.  "I understand sir.  But if you ask me, try to make the choice that will make this family better.  It's what Emilie would have wanted."  Nathalie said.  Nathalie leaves, as Gabriel sighs as not making a decision.

Adrien runs his way to Luka and Juleka's houseboat, where the band is getting ready to start their show.  In addition to Kitty Section's members, Luka, Julkea, Ivan, and Rose, the others include Marinette, Alya, Nino, Jack, Chloe, and Mylene.  Adrien then makes his way onboard ship.  "Sup guys."  Adrien said.  "Hey, Adrien.  How are you?"  Luka asked.  "Ohh just here to listen to another great show.  From the coolest batch of friends I've ever had.  [looks at Marinette].  Hey Marinette."  Adrien replied.  "Hey, Adrien.  [gets up to greet him, but then she trips, and falls.  Adrien grabs her arms to save her, and then both blush.  Marinette gets up].  I mean, thanks for saving me."  Marinette said.  "Yeah, [laughs romantically] not a problem my Queen, no, uhhh, Marinette."  Adrien replied.  "Did you just call her your Queen?  Not bad, Adrien."  Jack asked.  "Uhhh, no I didn't say, uhhh, Luka, I need you for a second."  Adrien panicked.  He grabs Luka by the arm, and drags him downstairs.  The other look confused.  "What was that?"  Rose asked.  "Either Adrien has a weird way of greeting people, or, [in whisper] something that makes me realize something mind blowing."  Jack replied.  Down below, Adrien sits next to Luka on the couch.  "Your what?!"  Luka asked shocked.  "Yes, in love with your Ex.  I hope that doesn't mean you'll hate me, or anything."  Adrien replied.  "Not at all dude.  But back on topic.  You love her?"  Luka asked.  "Yes.  She was just a friend to me, but as time went on, I soon developed... feelings for her.  Feelings that suddenly make me act strange.  Not all the time though, but at rare times.  Still makes me look like a fool."  Adrien replied.  Luka then puts his hand on Adrien's shoulder, and closes his eyes.  He does this for about ten seconds.  "Yeah, I see what you mean.  You have an affection for Marinette."  Luka said.  "Yes I do.  First of all, don't tell anyone please."  Adrien replied.  "I won't."  Luka said.  "Good.  Second of all, although I can act chill around her for the most part, I still worry I will mess up.  Sure, I can use confidence to help me, but this is something I've never really done before.  I faced difficult challenges, difficult assignments, heck, even times where my confidence broke.  But love?  Not at all."  Adrien replied.  "I believe everything you say, Adrien.  Everything.  But it seems your worried about breaking her heart, or making a joke out of yourself.  That was similar to Chloe for me.  When she feel in love with me, she started acting strange.  Acting like a clown, similar to what you say you are.  But I simply told her she needs to find a way to maintain her cool.  Relax whenever she is in situations like this.  And thanks to that, as well as some cute moments between us, we are now a couple.  So, all you need to do is keep that confidence because I agree it's very useful, but also know when to chill out when worried.  Without both, you wouldn't be here right now."  Luka said.  "[hugs Luka].  Thanks Luka.  You really are a dope mentor.  Uhh, your ok with me hugging you right?  Adrien asked.  "[hugs him back].  I'm not uncomfortable at all, Adrien.  Not one bit."  Luka replied.  After a few more seconds of hugs, they let go.  "Better get back upstairs.  The show will begin soon."  Luka said.  Adrien and Luka leave, with Luka smiling for Adrien.  Not only for his love life, but also the fact that as Cat Noir, he is not depressed, or miserable.

As the boys climb there way back up to the deck, we see some drama go forth.  All of the sudden, we see Jagged Stone, and Bob Roth now suddenly on the ship.  "What do you mean your not recording today?  I specifically asked you to come in today, to record a new album."  Bob Roth asked.  "I know, but I informed you two weeks prior that today I would be here to see my kids concert.  Therefore, I'm seeing their concert!  [sees Luka].  Ohh, hey son."  Jagged replied.  "Hey, Dad.  What's this about recording music?"  Luka asked.  "Your Father was suppose to make me money, I mean, albums, but now he's making the excuse of wanting to see his kid's concert.  Which by the way, is stupid if I'm being less brutal."  Bob Roth replied.  "Considering my son and daughter will play awesome music as their old man, don't you dare say they suck at making music."  Jagged said.  "He's right.  Kitty Section may not be as famous as some of your other bands, but at least we put in the effort to be seen as a great indie band."  Juleka replied.  "Kitty Section.  Kitty!  Section!  Ha!  How can I take a band Kitty Section seriously?  And also, your main, and only song, You Know I Love Unicorns, what a joke.  How can you expect to make good money from that stupid band and song name?"  Bob Roth asked.  "Says the guy who copied our band because he ran out of ideas."  Luka replied.  "Very funny.  Well Jagged is coming with me, so sat bye bye to your Dad."  Bob Roth said, as he grabs Jagged's hand to leave.  "[slaps Bob's hand].  No!  My Dad is staying here whether you like it or not.  Why don't you go back home, and bathe in your money.  You have lots of it don't you?"  Juleka asked.  "First of all, your lucky I can't hit a child.  Second of all, I have loads of more than you will ever make, but I want more.  It's all about the power of money my friend.  The more you make, the more powerful you become."  Bob Roth replied.  Juleka gets mad just by Bob speaking. "Well either way, your not making any from my Dad today.  [stands in front of Bob].  Like my sister said, he is staying here to see play whether you like it or not."  Luka said.  "Pfff, and what will you do about it huh?  Huh?  Kick me in my old man knees?  Throw water balloons at me?  Whatever you do, won't affect me."  Bob Roth teased.  Luka and Juleka look at each other, and give a very sinister smile.  "Why are you looking at me like that?"   Bob Roth asked.  Next time you know, Luka and Juleka legit throw Bob Roth overboard the ship.  Making him get his whole expensive suit wet.  Everyone on board is blown away.  "Ok, Luka and Juleka.  I didn't know you guys had this energy in you."  Jack said.  Bob then comes up from the water, and even spits some out.  "So that's how you want to play it huh?  Give me a minute."  Bob Roth said, as he swims back to land.  He then gets back on the boat.  "That's better.  Now, you think throwing me off ship is going to stop me?  Nah!  Besides, didn't your Dad abandon you as babies?  Why even bother letting him stay over leaving you again?"  Bob Roth asked.  "Because at least he is now trying to be a good Dad, that's why."  Luka replied.  "And?"  Bob Roth asked.  "And, I helped bring him, and my Mom back together."  Juleka replied.  "And what does she have to say about that?"  Bob Roth asked.  "I say, he was a vile vermin for trying to come back.  But now, he's someone I'm willing to give another shot with.  Has it been rough?  Partially.  Is he trying?  Absolutely."  Anarka replied.  "Thanks dear.  But she means it.  I'm done being the dead beat Dad they see me as.  And today, I intend to keep that promise."  Jagged said.  "Oh really?  Well then.  I'll let you stay that way.  Becasue Jagged Stone, your FIRED!!!"  Bob Roth yelled.  Everyone gasp.  "If family means more than music to you, then say bye bye to your career.  I was the only one who can make you famous, and no one else ever will."  Bob Roth said, as he laughs.  Soon, Jagged is now broken.  He lost his music career for good.  This makes Anarka anger as well.

"So my little cocoon, we are now set for a plan that will for sure help me get rid of Ladybug, and help you get Duusu back."  Lila said.  "Ok.  How so specifically?"  Nooroo asked.  "From my last villain, Snare Scout, I saw Ladybug act so mad at Blue Bird out of nowhere.  Saying, and I quote: "STOP STEALING MY THUNDER YOU VILE BIRD!!!" Those word directly. Then once they saw something was up, she backed it with, and I quote again: "Uhh, I mean. Awesome job with your thunder you awesome bird."  That may seem weird, but I think it's obvious what this means.  Ladybug... is jealous of Blue Bird."  Lila replied.  "Didn't know Ladybug was the jealous type.  But with that, how will that help you?"  Nooroo asked.  "Simple.  As you've seen, I have some pretty good lies, and manipulation.  Some great, some not my best.  But I still manage to be seen as the goddess they see me as.  Using fake evidence to prove my case.  However, this is different.  I'm going to help Ladybug get what she wants.  Help Ladybug?  Never thought I would say those words."  Lila replied.  "Me neither."  Nooroo said.  "Anyway, how will this help me? Simple. I'll go out once again in battle, but only fight Ladybug. There, I will give her some "words of advice" to help her with her jealousy of Blue Bird. My main goal is to make it go to the point where Ladybug goes, you know what? I don't ever want to see him again. And by that I mean, TAKING HIS OWN MIRACULOUS BY FORCE!!! [Nooroo gasp]. Exactly. It's genius. Once that happens, it's my job to get it the second she takes it. Then with her in my control, I'll be a more powerful supervillain than I am now. Wonder what my name will be? Shadow Farfalla? Dark Bug?" Lila asked. "Maybe focus on names, if you get her back." Nooroo replied. "Fair point. So, what will happen to Blue Bird when he lost his miraculous? Depending on who the person is, he will be upset being stabbed in the back. And those emotions can help created a powerful villain. As well as a powerful sentimonster. Then, probably knowing some top secret stuff, Blue Bird will crush those heroes for good. And all the miraculous, especially the Ladybug and Black Cat, will be mine." Lila said. "Very villainous, Lila. Very villainous indeed. But, what will Duusu think about this?" Nooroo asked. "[brooch shines]. I can answer that later. We got two new negative emotions on the horizon. Nooroo, dark wings rise." Lila replied, as she transforms into Farfalla. As always, she opens her butterfly cage, and grabs one of them. She then uses her powers to create a megakuma. Finally, she opens her window to set it free. As the megakuma flies, it makes it's way to the house boat, where Anarka is trying to throw hands at Bob. "You stinky seagull! When I get my hands on you, I'm going to throw you overboard, and make sure you don't come back up!" Anarka yelled. "Ha! I'm so scared." Bob Roth mocked. The gang keeps Anarka from making this worse, to the point they accidentally push her into Jagged. They both fall to the ground. "Sorry dear. Here, let me get your guitar for you." Anarka said. "No, let me get it." Jagged replied. As both go to grab it, the megakuma flies in. First, it breaks both their magical charms, then as both touch the instrument, the megakuma flies in. "[masks form]. Another more than one akumatization? Nice! [clears throat]. Hello Crocoduel. I am Farfalla. This greedy goblin wants to ruin your husband's life all because he wants to sped time with family. How about you show him the true power of music. I return your Guitar Villain, and Captain Hardrock powers, minus the gator. Except this time, I have some new details you'll love. Guitar Villain, your awesome solos will shot death ray beams that can melt steel. Captain Hardrock, your ship will be indestructible to any damage. With them, you two will be the more unstoppable pirate music duo alive. In return, I want the miraculous of Ladybug, Cat Noir, and any shipmate they bring along. With Ladybug walking the plank, and never coming back to the surface." Farfalla ordered. "Let's rock and roll, Farfalla." Jagged replied, as he and Anarka transform into Crocoduel.

    Everyone runs off the ship, as it gets akumatized. Bob tries to run as well, but he gets grabbed, and fulled back on board. As the kids watch, they see The Liberty fly back into the air. With Bob Roth as a captive. "So, you think firing me will do you any good? Well let's take the meaning of, being thrown overboard, to a new meaning dear." Guitar Villain said. "You have my word, GV." Captain Hardrock replied. They fly off, as the kids are left behind. Bob Roth screaming for help, as they fly. "Ok, a flying pirate ship is one of the coolest things I've here." Jack said. Jack then gets punched in the arm by Alya. "What? Am I wrong?" Jack asked.  "Yes you are.  [lands next to them].  And now we need to get you guys to safety."  Ladybug replied, alongside Cat Noir, who have arrived.  "Geez that was fast.  And smart idea."  Jack said.  Cat Noir takes Jack, Luka, Ivan, Nino, and Chloe.  As Ladybug takes Alya, Mylene, Rose, and Juleka.  They all leave.  Then, we see Ladybug take Juleka to an alleyway.  "Stupid Bob Roth.  At least he's getting what he deserves right about now."  Juleka said.  "Happens to the worst people.  However, we do need to save him.  More importantly your parents, but save him as well."  Ladybug replied.  She opens her yo-yo, and pulls out the Tiger miraculous.  She gives it to Juleka.  "Alright.  Time to release my wild side again."  Juleka said, as she puts on her miraculous.  There, Roarr reforms.  "[roars].  What's up Juleka.  How is my favorite cub in the entire tiger tribe doing?"  Roarr asked.  "Like your roar, ready to cause some havoc.  Roarr, stripes on."  Juleka replied, as she transforms into Purple Tigress.  Now that she is ready, we see Cat Noir drop off Jack.  "Thanks Cat.  I'll be fine from here."  Jack said, as he leaves.  "Thanks for taking us to safety as well, Ad, I mean, Cat Noir."  Luka replied.  "Just helping out my some awesome peeps.  But, also to get me a fellow snake."  Cat Noir said, as he pulls out the Snake miraculous.  He gives it to Luka, who puts it on.  Sass then reforms as well.  "Hello, Luka.  I was so excited to see I'll be seeing you again.  I could have slithered my way to you."  Sass said.  "I'm excited too Sass.  That, and working with one of the most awesome heroes ever.  [Cat Noir says, aww].  Sass, scales slither."  Luka replied, as he transforms into Viperion.

    Soon, Ladybug brings her team of heroes, and Cat Noir brings his team as well. Blue Bird joins with Cat btw. In all, we have Rena Rouge, Carapace, Queen Bee, Pigella, Polymouse, Minotaurox, Viperion, and Purple Tigress. Not including LB, CN, and BB. "We got a flying ship we need to sink. Who here has ideas?" Queen Bee asked. "Astro powers. We can all fly as one, the shoot down the ship. We will be separated from each other, making it harder for them to attack us." Ladybug replied. "Good idea, but I have a better suggestion." Blue Bird said. "Here we go again. Stealing my spot, I mean, please, let's here is." Ladybug replied. "Everyone, stay back. Believe it or not, I've been wanting to do this for some time." Blue Bird said. The team backs up, as he pulls out a feather from his fan. He creates an amok, and puts the amok into his fan. After clinching his fist, he then begins to create his sentimonster. This one is massive. So massive, even the team gets a little intimated. Soon, his creation is finished. A giant pirate ship made of black wood, with a dragon skull at the front, bone dragon wings, high tech pirate cannons, a black sail with the LB logo on it in red, some bones on it's sides, wheel, and deck, and even roars. "Gang, meet, The Dredge. A living pirate ship that will scare the living heck out of those villains." Blue Bird said. "Wow! Did you have to make it so... scary?" Pigella asked. "I'm into rock when it's done right. This feels like rock done right to me. That, and I've always wanted to make an undead pirate ship before. Who knew my kwami can make my dreams come true. [jumps onto ship]. Well, all aboard. We have an akumatizied ship to sink." Blue Bird replied. The gang, who are all ready for this, get aboard. Ladybug, of course, gets jealous, but her jealousy turns to surprise. Because she ends up seeing Farfalla on a rooftop behind them, and Ladybug was the only one who saw here. "[gets aboard]. Come on, My Lady." Cat Noir said. "Uhh, actually, you take care of this. I'm... going to stay behind, to uhhh, make sure everyone is safe." Ladybug replied. "You sure? The boat comes with cannons to fire." Blue Bird asked, as the team gets excited. "Sounds like a blast, but we heroes make sure the citizens of Paris are safe in the end." Ladybug replied. "Hmm, she's not wrong. Well, if you feel like you want to join in, you can use your Astro powers to come aboard." Blue Bird said. "I'll keep that idea in mind." Ladybug replied. "Well then, best of luck." Cat Noir said. The Dredge flies into the air, and then moves at a face speed. Thanks to the mechanical boosters on it's back. "Ha! Sucker! You can steal the show with them. I'm going after someone far better to defeat than an akumatized villain." Ladybug said, as she goes after Farfalla. As Ladybug runs, Farfalla watches her from behind a chimney. "Perfect. Just as I intended." Farfalla said.

    Meanwhile, Liberty is flying high in the sky. Shooting at the ground sending cars flying, and buildings crashing. People scream, as the Liberty dashes past them all. Leaving a nasty blow of wind that blows people away. As for Bob, he is being held by his neck, begging for his life. Guitar Villains holds him, while Captain Hardrock approaches. "Ok, let's talk about this. I didn't know rock and roll meant as much to you as your family. Tell you what. I'll pay you, to spare me, and I will let you go. Ohhh, and I'll let you spend as much time with your family as you wa..." Bob Roth begged, before he gets interrupted by a sword pointed right at his neck. "You expect us to buy that nonsense? I say we throw him overboard." Captain Hardrock replied. "Hmm, good idea. But, we are not high enough. I say we got higher, drop him, then get those heroes." Guitarist Villain said. "I like your thinking. Liberty, raise to new he..." Captain Hardorck ordered, before a cannon hits there ship. The ship shakes, but as Farfalla said, the ship is barely harmed. The two see The Dredge, and it's crew flying next to them. "Ahoo maties. What scallywags do we have here?" Blue Bird asked. "[throws Bob Roth into the cellar. He screams, as he falls in]. So, you guys have your own ship? No match for The Liberty." Guitar Villain replied. "And your pirate impression is an embarrassment to pirates." Captain Hardrock said. "Yeah, well we got something that show you who is the best of all time. Viperion, may you do the honors?" Blue Bird asked. "With pleasure. Second chance." Viperion replied, as he uses his powers. "Now [spins staff] just try to stop us now." Cat Noir said, spinning his staff. "With honor. Liberty, FIRE!!!" Captain Hardrock ordered. The ship fires it's cannons, but the heroes got this covered. "[moves in front of them]. Shelter." Carapace said, as he uses his powers. He puts a shield around the ship. Protecting it. The shots do nothing against his shield. "Impressive. But how are you going to hit us now?" Captain Hardrock asked. "[snaps fingers. Shelter disappears]. That's how." Carapace replied. "Fire!!!" Blue Bird yelled. Queen Bee, Minotaurox, and Purple Tigress fire the cannons. They hit the ship, shake it, but still no damage. They all gasp. "Thank you Farfalla for the new ship. Guitars Villain, show them how to rock." Captain Hardrock said. "I will. AWESOME SOLO!!!" Guitar Villain yelled, as he blast the ship. One single blast breaks the ship into two pieces. Sending the heroes apart. "What the? Sentimonsters can break?! Duusu, your not here, but you have a lot to explain to do!!!" Blue Bird yelled. Viperion acts fast, and uses second chance. Back to where he set it. The Liberty fires, as Carapace uses shelter to protect them. The shield is taken down, as the heroes fire. "Thank you Farfalla for the new ship. Guitars Villain, show them how to rock." Captain Hardrock said. "I will. AWESOME SOLO!!!" Guitar Villain yelled, as he blast the ship. "Quickly, move the ship up." Viperion ordered. "I'm the captain, first of all, and , OH CRAP!!! MOVE UP DREDGE!!!" Blue Bird ordered. It's too late. The ship gets blasted, so Viperion goes back again. The same stuff happens. Shelter to protect the ship, they fire at the indestructible ship, and Guitar Villain shots, "AWESOME SOLO!!!," as he blast at them. "Move up, now!" Viperion ordered. "You heard him. Go up!" Blue Bird ordered. The ship goes up, and dodges the attack. "Nice!" Blue Bird yelled. "Say, how about we show them what true pirates are all about?" Cat Noir asked. The heroes them smile. Soon, Cat Noir, Rena Rouge, Queen Bee, and Minotaurox jump from the sky, and to the ship. The Liberty moves at sonic speed, so they end up falling to the ground. "[looks at them fall]. Oh crap! Second chance." Viperion said, as he uses his powers. "You heard him, move!" Blue Bird yelled, as the same scenario with the same events happen again. The Dredge does the attack. "Say, how about we show them what true pirates are all about?" Cat Noir asked. "Good idea. Jump from the dragon head so your guaranteed getting on. We can handle the ship." Viperion replied. "Whatever you say." Cat Noir said. So again, CN, QB, RR, and MO, all jump from the head of the ship, and successfully land onto the Liberty. "So we got some swashbucklers boarding our ship. Leave them to me." Captain Hardrock said, as she charges at them. A four on one doesn't go so smooth for the heroes. Cat Noir gets uppercutted, Rena Rouge is swung into a wall by her leg, and Queen Bee tries to use Venom, but ends up paralyzing Minotaurox. "Ha! Too easy!" Captain Hardrock said. "Not quite." Queen Bee replied, as she snaps her fingers. That frees Minotaurox from being frozen. "God, that's a nice power." Queen Bee said. "Yes. Yes it is." Minotaurox replied, as he pulls out his hammer. He charges at Captain Hardrock, who the dodges his hammer attack. He swings at her some more, but she dodges, before he slams it directly onto the ground. She jumps into the hammer, than backflip uppercuts him in the process. Cat Noir then runs in. "Cataclysm." Cat Noir said, as he uses his powers. He goes to cataclysm her blade, but she dodges his attack, as well as trip him in the process. His cataclysm hits the deck, but it doesn't do a thing. Then, Guitar Villain blast him with his guitar. Sending the kitty cat overboard. Viperion sees this, and acts fast. Using second chance. The team does run onto the ship, where GV and CH take out the four heroes fast. "Ha! Too easy. Four miraculous all for us." Captain Hardrock said. That's when all of the sudden, Cat Noir, Rena Rouge, Queen Bee, and Minotaurox all jump onto the villains. The villains get up, and look at the four of them. Ready to fight. "What kind of dark voodoo is this?" Guitar Villain asked. "It's one word. Mirage." Rena Rouge replied. They go into fight them, as Blue Bird gets them from above. "Let's shoot down at them. That can distract them long enough to get the object." Blue Bird said. "That sounds like a dumb idea." Viperion replied. "On one hand it does, on the other I really want to use those cannons. Gang, fire at will." Blue Bird ordered. As much as Viperion hates it, the team fires down onto the ship. Causing mass chaos all throughout the fire. Heck, even some of the heroes, like Queen Bee, are almost thrown overboard. As she screams, Cat Noir grabs her hand. Saving her. "[deep breathes]. Thanks, Cat." Queen Bee said. "[dust clears]. So that's how it's going to be huh? AWESOME SOLO!!!" Guitar Villain yelled. He once again decimates The Dredge into two. Leading Viperion to give a very mood and pissed off face to Blue Bird. "Yeah, maybe that wasn't my best idea." Blue Bird admitted. "I'm sure Duusu would agree." Viperion replied, as he uses second chance again.

    As they fight on, Ladybug runs on the rooftops to find where Farfalla is. "Come on! Come on! Where are you, you stink fly. No way I was crazy back there. I saw you, and your miraculous." Ladybug said. She stops on one rooftop to look around. Trying to find where Farfalla is. "Hello, Ladybug. [LB turns around]. Your not wrong. You did see me, and my miraculous. I have to say, mine does make my outfit look more classy than your generic red spandex, and black polka dot suit. To be honest, I question how people take such a boring looking hero so seriously." Farfalla said. Ladybug then immediately throws when yo-yo, which does wrap around Farfalla. Ladybug pulls her in, and close lines Farfalla. The yo-yo lets her go, as she tumbles to the ground. "Huh? I actually hit you? Awesome!" Ladybug said. "[gets up]. I have to say, not a bad move, Ladybug. It's honestly sad how much potential you have, only for no one to care one bit." Farfalla replied. "What do you mean?" Ladybug asked. "I could cut to the point, [spins cane] but I also came for a fight. [stops spinning]. Shall we, spotted flea?" Farfalla asked. Ladybug gets excited, and charges at Farfalla, as she does the same as well. Ladybug spins her yo-yo as a shield, as Farfalla whacks it with a cane. After some good blocks, Ladybug stops spinning, and socks Farfalla in the gut. She groans, as Ladybug goes for her miraculous, but Farfalla grabs her arm, and throws Ladybug over her back. Ladybug gets up, so she can avoid Farfalla swinging her cane by her face. Farfalla swings at Ladybug some more, but as Ladybug backs up on the ground, she dodges her attacks. So, Ladybug uses both legs to kicks Farfalla in the face. She then gets up, runs at her, and charges her off the building. Both scream, as they fall onto the streets. They both get up, but Farfalla gets up faster. She grabs Ladybug by the face, and throws her onto a car. Farfalla then chucks her into a lamppost. Ladybug does get up, and Farfalla jumps into the air, so she can punch Ladybug from above. Ladybug dodges, leaving a crack into the ground. Ladybug then uses her yo-yo to wrap up Farfalla's arm. Farfalla uses her other one to pull Ladybug in, grab her by the face again, and slam her to the ground. Farfalla then stomps on her gut, before she raises Ladybug up. Her earrings right in plain sit. "Now, I could take your earrings right now, but considering the rat you are, I'm not down, until you got from black and red, to black and blue." Farfalla said. So she throws Ladybug to the ground, runs up to her, and then hits her in the face with her cane.

    That transitions back to the fight against the Liberty, and the Dredge.  Viperion is exhausted from all gatherings second chances he was using.  Still, the Dredge is safe, as CN, QB, RR, and MO fight down below. "Ok, [deep breathes] I've seen this ship explode nearly a dozen times, [deep breath], and the megakuma is in a guitar." Viperion said, as he takes deep breathes. "How many second chances do you have left?" Blue Bird asked. "Only two. So, I'm a little stressed out. Stressed at the fact I have left, and the fact I have five minutes, before I transform back at the same time." Viperion replied. "Don't worry, bro. We got this. [hears awesome solo, and looks down at ship]. Make that, one more second chance." Blue Bird said. The Dredge explodes again, sending the heroes screaming in pain. Viperion falls, and doesn't use second chance immediately. "God dammit! [deep breathes]. Ok, for real, Sass. I know I don't have much time left, but I'm begging you. I really, really, really need this next one to be the one." Viperion begged. He thinks hard about this second to last second chance he has. After he channels enough focus, before he hits the ground, he uses his powers. "Second chance." Viperion said, as he uses his powers. Back at it again, Viperion wakes up from where the battle started. Viperion is very tired, as the heroes. That's when Bob Roth bust out of the prison. "Ok, can you guys start fighting already? I have calls to get to." Bob Roth yelled. "It will be over, when they give me their miraculous." Guitar Villain replied. "[looks at them]. Pfff, for real? These losers are legit flurries trying to stop the villains. If anything, your as an embarrassment as that stupid Kitty Section band. What dorks are they. And what kind of dumb ship is that? Makes me look more dead inside, than the decor onboard. Why not just give them your miraculous, so we can end this?" Bob Roth asked. Soon, Purple Tigress gets really mad. Even just seeing his face fuels her with so much anger. "[walks over to edge]. You know? I'm not having the best day now, ROTH! So if you really want this battle to be over with, fine. I'll end it. I'll end it with a bang!" Purple Tigress yelled. She backs up, before she sprints, jumps, and screams as she flies at the Liberty. "CLOUT!!!" Purple Tigress yelled, as she uses her powers. Although the ship is indestructible, she hits it hard. However, something is off. Her clout soon forms lines leading to the top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right. Then, all of the sudden, giant laser beams burst out from those spots. Blinding the heroes, as the villains at the same time. So much in fact, that Guitar Villain loses his guitar. "NO!!!" Guitar Villain screamed. He goes to get it, but The Liberty starts to move to it's right a bit too much. So much, that Bob Roth falls out of prison, and off the ship. He does survive though, as he lands in a pool of sewage. "[comes to surface]. EWW!!!" Bob Roth screamed. Guitar Villain is sliding to his guitar, but that's when Viperion comes in. He throws his harp, which, before GV can grab it, hits it. Viperion's harp breaks the guitar, and the akuma powers stop. Jagged and Anarka turn back to normal, which makes Purple Tigress gasp. She runs, grabs her Mom and Dad, and jumps off the ship in slow mo. Before in normal speed, she jumps back onto the ship, and the Liberty lands not so safely in the water. Purple Tigers takes deep breaths, as the heroes help her. "Ok, what was that? Those laser beams that shot out of the ground like, pew, pew. That was awesome!" Rena Rouge asked. "Not sure. Maybe it was..." Purple Tigress replied, before she gets interrupted. "Power upgrade." Blue Bird said. "What I mean was..." Purple Tigress replied, before she gets interrupted. "Power upgrade. I'm sorry, I'm just saying that's your power upgrade if that never happened before. That never happened before right?" Blue Bird asked. "Uhhh, not really." Purple Tigress replied. "Yep! Power upgrade." Blue Bird said. "We can celebrate that later. I got the megakuma. Let's go find Ladybug to end this.' Cat Noir replied. Blue Bird turns The Dredge around, as they go to find LB.

    She is coughing from how Farfalla is continuing to beat her up good. She throws her yo-yo at her, but she grabs it, and spins her around. Ladybug screams, as Farfalla launches her into the air. Then, she performs a Cat Blanc treatment, but jumping at Ladybug, and hitting her like a home run. Ladybug hits the ground hard, bouncing a few times, before she stops. Farfalla lands right in front of her. "[coughs, before she gets up]. You can beat me all you want. I can take hits. It's only a matter of time, before I hit you again." Ladybug yelled. "That's just so sad Ladybug." Farfalla replied. "What? Taking hits?" Ladybug asked. "The fact you can be this confident hero. One who keeps fighting when the villain has the upper hand. But even with all that, no one gives you the attention you deserve." Farfalla replied. "Meaning?" Ladybug asked. "I know you don't like Blue Bird because of the way he steals your spotlight. [Ladybug gasp]. All thanks to you saying, [clears throat] "STOP STEALING MY THUNDER YOU VILE BIRD!!!"  Yes, I heard you say that.  And no, I didn't find out who you are afterwards.  I want to save that when I take your miraculous off your dead body."  Farfalla replied.  Ladybug still keeps her guard up, and her mind set.  "Ok, so I guess I have a thing for Blue Bird.  So what?"  Ladybug asked.  "That makes too of us.  He has the miraculous that my boss use to have.  I'm glad I was given the chance to have Nooroo, but Duusu can make my job a lot more... entertaining.  Plus, him having it makes my villains much easier to defeat in his eyes."  Farfalla replied.  "So what does this have to do with me."  Ladybug asked.  "Obviously.  We both may hate each other, but we do hate the same person.  Blue!  Bird!  Am I saying we should team up?  Kill me if we are forced to.  [pets cane].  I was thinking more of the lines of, you doing something about it."  Farfalla replied.  "Just because I'm mad at his feathered stealing butt, doesn't mean I'm going to take advice from you.  At least I have a limit to where things go."  Ladybug yelled.  "Ok then.  There was a way for you to stop this, without me getting involved, but... never mind, it's not worth it."  Farfalla replied.  "I bet it isn't."  Ladybug said.  "I mean, all I was suggesting was... taking his miraculous by force."  Farfalla replied.  "Taking his miraculous?"  Ladybug asked.  "I thought you weren't interested?  But if you insist, I'll finish.  Just take his miraculous by force, so he will never try to steal your spotlight again.  Then, give the miraculous to a new holder.  One who you know who he or she is, and one you can control.  Like the others."  Farfalla replied.  Ladybug, surprisingly, thinks this over.  "I mean.  That can work.  But, the last time I did something like..."  Ladybug said, before she gets interrupted.  "Who cares what happened last time?  What matters is what you do now.  Forget whatever you did in the past.  Go forward now, with the intention to being back the way you were.  In charge.  In control.  And, covered in endless spotlight."  Farfalla replied.  Ladybug doesn't say a word after that.  "[sees the heroes].  Hope I helped you out.  Expect me to be back, yet again."  Farfalla said, as she runs away.  Soon, The Dredge lands right in front of Ladybug.  The plank is dropped, and the heroes run to her.  "Ladybug.  You good?"  Cat Noir asked.  "[looks at Blue Bird, then clinches her fist].  I'm good.  Did you get the megakuma?"  Ladybug asked back.  "Right here."  Cat Noir replied, as he lets it go.  Ladybug then captures the megakuma, and doesn't even say a goodbye as it flies away. 

"Do I need a lucky charm to fix anything?"  Ladybug asked.  "We do, but are you sure your good?  You don't sound, or look ok."  Blue Bird asked.  "I said, I'M FINE!!!"  Ladybug yelled.  That scares everyone around her.  "Sorry.  I'm fine."  Ladybug said.  Ladybug uses an offscreen lucky charm to fix all the damage in Paris.  Brining The Liberty back to normal, and any other damage caused.  After that, Ladybug pulls out two magical charms for Jagged and Anarka.  "Here you go you two.  New lucky charms.  Same old rules, same old mechanics."  Ladybug said.  "Thanks, Ladybug."  Jagged replied.  "Sorry that you lost your rock job.  Juleka told me about it when I saw her before battle."  Purple Tigress said.  "Don't worry about me.  Bob can go spoil another rocker.  I'll find a better company to record new music.  One who can respect the power of rock and roll, and family."  Jagged replied, as he hugs his wife.  She hugs back, making the heroes, except Ladybug, happy.  "[sees miraculous].  Hey, Viperion.  Was your watch always this slow?"  Blue Bird asked.  Viperion looks at his miraculous, where the timer is moving slower than usual.  "Huh?  That's weird.  How long has it been since I last used second chance?"  Viperion asked.  "Let me check.  [looks at cat phone].  No way!  About seven minutes ago."  Cat Noir replied.  "Wait, then why didn't I..."  Viperion asked, before he gets interrupted.  "Power upgrade.  We can do this again if we have to."  Blue Bird replied.  "No way!  Two power upgrades in the same day.  So, AWESOME!!!"  Rena Rouge yelled.  "Maybe chill out for a second.  But yes, first Purple Tigress, then Viperion.  Way to go you two."  Blue Bird replied.  "Yeah, congrats."  Carapace said.  "And more importantly, welcome to the club."  Pigella replied, as she stands with Minotaurox, Queen Bee, Rena Rouge, and Polymouse.  Both heroes smile at their success.  "Well, we better get you guys miraculous back.  Don't want to expose a whole team of identities."  Cat Noir said.  "Agreed.  You guys come with me.  Cat, you take care of the others."  Ladybug replied in a not so ok way.  "[grabs shoulder].  Seriously, Ladybug.  You don't sound ok.  Is there something actually bothering you?  If so, I can help..."  Cat Noir asked, before he gets interrupted.  "Thanks, but I'm fine.  Just... a little tired.  I'll see you at out spot."  Ladybug replied.  And thus, the heroes, Jagged, and Anarka leave.  Not knowing that Lila is watching over them with Nooroo in her hands.  "The seed to the Lilac has been planted.  Now all we have to do is wait, Nooroo, and Duusu will be all ours."  Lila said, as she slowly laughs in an evil way.  Nooroo then gets worried to how exactly this plan is going to unfold.
