Splinter

"So that's your latest idea, Lila?" Gabriel asked. "Yes it is. [Nooroo flies beside her]. I've seen Ladybug has been quite jealous at Blue Bird recently. And I know a thing about jealousy from past experience." Lila replied. "You mean, what Ladybug did to you right?" Nooroo asked. "Exactly. But in this case, I'm glad she is on her bad side. If all goes well, Duusu will be ours once again, and with her, we will be able to create the ultimate supervillain. One that will not only get you Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculous, but all the others. Why do you even need the others anyway?" Lila asked Gabe. "Well, just to use as additional weapons to get the ones I need." Gabriel replied. "Smart." Lila said. "Anyway, do you think this idea is... good Lila?" Gabriel asked. "What do you mean?" Lila asked back. "Well, as you know, there is a slight chance I could stop doing this, and maybe it's best if we..." Gabriel replied, before he gets interrupted. "No way, sir! Don't you see. This is possibly our best chance to finally get a miraculous. One of the most powerful, and your saying you want to throw that away?" Lila asked upset. "But what about Blue Bird?"  Gabriel asked back.  "Who cares?  With Duusu, we won't have to worry about a thing."  Lila replied.  "Ok listen here Lila. I want Emilie to come back, and honestly, I want Adrien to be happy to know his Dad is becoming better as much as I want Emilie back. So don't try treating this like it's no big deal." Gabriel yelled. "Ok, ok. Sorry, sir." Lila said. "Good." Gabriel replied. "Have you made a choice on what to do, master?" Nooroo asked. "No. It's still hard for me to choose, but I know I need to choose soon. Very soon. Here's what we will do. I'll ok this idea of yours. However, if it fails, then maybe we are done. No more of this. No more akumas, no more villains, we are just done. Is that understood?" Gabriel asked back. "I understand sir." Lila replied. "Yeah, me too." Nooroo said in a sad way knowing he might not see Lila again. Thus, Lila and Nooroo leave Gabriel, who sighs.

    That sigh transitions into his kitchen, where his son is eating. He glances over at his kid, who is feasting on his pancakes. "So, Adrien. Umm, I know your Mother is gone, but uhh, I want to ask. If there was a possible chance she could come back to life, would you be happy?" Gabriel asked. "Why would you ask?" Adrien asked back. "Ohh, just an interesting, but random question. You know." Gabriel replied. "Ohh. Well, I don't even know if that is possible. I miss Mom, but it's clear she's gone for good. And it's a shame, since I never knew much about her. About our memories. About you. However, I learned that despite being gone, she will forever live in our hearts. That's what she would have wanted right?" Adrien asked. "Umm, sure. Good answer. Sorry if it sounded weird. I was just... a little lonely today." Gabriel replied. "Ohh. Well, maybe if you want, you can join me for dinner. You haven't done that in ages. Even now your still busy with whatever you do, but I get it. Hard work has a price to pay." Adrien said. "Ok then. I'll think about it. Thank you, son." Gabriel replied. He goes to leave Adrien, and then sighs again. That other sigh transitions into his basement where Emilie is. "Emilie my love. I know you can't hear me. But, maybe Adrien is right after all. Maybe I should... give up being the villain of this story. No, you didn't deserve to die that night, but Adrien doesn't deserve to suffer as well. Like he said, we need to keep the memory of you in our hearts. And besides, I got my vengeance on Essence when I killed him for good. If anything, I avenged you for what he did. Still, what you did for me that led me to this... is something I can't lie without. [touches tomb]. Don't worry my love. I'll make a decision. Promise." Gabriel said.

    Now we go to Mari's house. "REALLY?!" Kwamis asked. "Yes. You heard me. Maybe, maybe, just maybe, there might be a chance you all can be with your holders. Permanently." Marinette replied. "But, why? Didn't you say do it when Farfalla is gone?" Ziggy asked. "I did. However, when you think about it, it's smarter. If the others had their miraculous at all times, there will be no need to gather the heroes. It can save time. Plus we would be ready for whatever Farfalla throws at us.  And, you guys get to be with the humans you love." Marinette replied. "What if she goes after holders she knows are heroes?" Tikki asked. "Yeah. Like Longg and I." Pollen replied. "Same case with me letting Rena come back. It's a risk I'm willing to take, and if something went wrong, then that's on me.  As well as my goal to fix that mistake." Marinette said. "Glad your taking responsibility. If only you weren't peeved with Blue Bird." Tikki replied. "Ok, that's very different." Marinette said. "Yeah, sure. Listen, I love you Marinette, but you really need to control this ego of yours." Tikki replied. "I don't have an ego problem." Marinette said. "You literally almost thought Farfalla's idea to take Blue's miraculous was a good one." Tikki replied. "Ok, so maybe I have been bad on the bird. Look, he makes me mad, but at least I have a limit. As in, I won't do anything bad to him. I learned my lesson from what happened with Cat, Queen, and Ryuko." Marinette said. "You better. Because I will be extremely disappointed in you." Tikki replied. "I know." Marinette said. "Either way, this is exciting news. We get to be with ours holders forever, and see how they are doing. It's nice here, but I'm so pumped to see how my holder is doing." Wayzz replied. "Me too." Roarr said. "Count me in as well." Orikko replied. The kwamis cheer on, as Marinette smiles at their joy. Hoping this idea might come true after all.

    We then go to Jack's place, where he chilling on his couch, as his kwamis play.  Duusu sits on his shoulder, and even massages his shoulder a bit.  "What's with the massage?"  Jack asked.  "Considering all I've seen from you, you deserve a little something like this."  Duusu replied.  "I see.  Well, thanks for that.  Your a natural at massages."  Jack said.  "Well, not the first time I've been with someone I deeply care about.  Especially people who have it rough.  I think a nice massage is a way to help cool them down from stress, or what seems to peeve them."  Duusu replied.  "Nice.  So, I know it's been a while, but do you think you remembered anything about your old owner?  Where he is?  Who he is?  Anything like that?"  Jack asked.  Duusu then freaks out a bit.  "You good?"  Jack asked.  "Yeah, I'm ok.  Uhhh, sorry, but nothing.  I keep trying to remember, but poof, nothing comes to mind.  I bet your upset with me."  Duusu replied.  "No I'm not.  If you have a hard time to remember, we can still wait."  Jack said.  "Yeah.  But, even if I do remember soon, you won't be there.  It's almost the end of the school year, and you will be gone.  A week or two before graduation and finals.  Meaning, you have to give the others and I to Ladybug."  Duusu replied.  Jack the gets sad, and upset.  "Jack?"  Duusu asked.  "[gets up].  Sorry, I need to use the bathroom.  Stay out here with the others."  Jack replied.  "Jack you ok?"  Duusu asked.  "I'm good.  Just, give me some space please."  Jack replied.  He goes into the bathroom, as Duusu watches, who is concerned about how Jack is feeling at the moment.

    Now, we are at school for yet another fencing match.  Adrien and Kagami, same old, same old.  Fencing each other.  They as always give a better performance than anyone here on the team.  Heck, even the fencing instructor watches them, than anyone else.  In the end, there must be a victor.  So after Kagami ducks under Adrien's attack, she stabs him.  "Match over!  Well done, Kagami.  That concludes today everyone.  Go home, and enjoy the rest of your day."  Fencing instructor said.  The team all go to leave, as Kagami helps Adrien up.  "Make that number fifty for wins."  Kagami said.  "Oh yeah.  Well guess what?  We are tied.  I also got fifty wins."  Adrien replied.  "It seems none of us want to be declared the victor."  Kagami said.  "Oh I want to, but I also don't want you to be the victor.  No hard feelings."  Adrien replied.  "Yeah.  In your dreams, Adrien."  Kagami said.  The two then get inside of Kagami's car, where it drives Adrien home.  "Any plans for tonight?"  Kagami asked.  "Yes.  My Dad and I will finally have dinner together.  It was an idea from me, since he felt lonely today."  Adrien replied.  "That's cute.  Wonder why he was so sad."  Kagami said.  "Must be Mom.  Still to this day, he can't get over her.  I wish I knew because if I did, then I can try to help him.  Too bad he never tells me anything about her."  Adrien replied.  "I wonder why."  Kagami said.  Soon, Kagami's car stops, which sends both kids hitting their heads on the seat in front of them.  "Ow!  What the heck?"  Kagami yelled.  They both look, and they see what caused the stop.  A new villain.  This one is a massive man whose entire body is covered in sharp blades.  He has razed claws, sharp silver teeth like the rest of his body, and his eyes are blades as well.  The villain laughs, as he slashes a building.  Sending it to the ground.  He runs away.  "Looks like the cat is going to need get out of the bag right now."  Kagami said.  "You must mean car?  [Kagami gives him a mood face].  I'll stop.  Plagg, claws out."  Adrien replied, as he transforms into Cat Noir.

    Cat Noir runs to where he is hearing most of the screaming.  As he runs, he sees people running away in a hurry.  "Farfalla must be serious again.  No matter.  Knowing she's showing up, we got this."  Cat Noir said.  As Cat Noir runs into battle, he already sees Ladybug and Blue Bird.  "Sup guys.  Any more of us?"  Cat Noir asked.  "Didn't have much time.  Don't worry, we can still stop this guy with only three heroes."  Ladybug replied.  "Gotcha.  [villain roars at the heroes].  So, we are fighting a massive cheese grater?"  Cat Noir asked.  "How dare you!  I am Splinter!  Master of blades, and conquering of any swordsman in the world!"  Splinter yelled.  "His name is Splinter?  Sounds cheesy."  Blue Bird said.  "Hahahahaha!  Good one."  Cat Noir replied.  "Seemed like a nice contrast to your cheese grater insult."  Blue Bird said.  "Seriously?  You had to have that already planned."  Cat Noir replied.  "Not at all."  Blue Bird said.  "Stop!  For real?"  Cat Noir asked.  The two go on, to the point Splinter has had enough.  He aims his arm at the two, and shots a blade so close, it scratches both of them.  They slowly turn to the shape blade, then at Splinter.  "Jesus!"  Blue Bird and Cat Noir said together.  "That's right.  You think I'm cheesy now?  Oh please, you haven't seen what else I can do.  For instance."  Splinter replied.  He then shots out bladed tentacles that go to the heroes.  Ladybug breaks them by spinning her yo-yo, but Splinter sends in more.  They heroes disburse, so they can have better hunting grounds.  Cat Noir runs on the walls of buildings, but Splinter shoots at him.  It makes Cat Noir lose his balance, before he falls on the ground.  Splinter then dashes at Cat Noir, and starts slashing him to heck.  Taking a cat scratch to a new level.  Cat then falls to the ground in pain.  So Blue Bird joins in.  He kicks Splinter in the face, and faces him.  "No Farfalla huh?  Guess she was scared of us."  Blue Bird.  "She actually informed me to say, she didn't need to come out this time because I can handle you all on my own."  Splinter replied.  He proves his case but flashing right past Blue Bird not looking like he dealt ant danger. "Uhhh, you miss cheese grater." Blue Bird said. "Three, two, one." Splinter replied. Then Blue Bird gets slashed out of nowhere. Splinter isn't touching him, and he's being sliced like a piece of paper in a shredder. Blue Bird groans, as he falls to the floor. Finally, Ladybug. She is in the air, and uses her yo-yo to attack him. He slashes her yo-yo away like it was nothing at all. Ladybug still shoots back, but Splinter blocks it. Over, and over, and over again. Before he grabs it, pulls Ladybug in, and uppercuts her hard with his blade. She too falls to the ground. "Ha! Pathetic! You guys really think you can beat me? I took you all out with just one attack." Splinter said. "True. [Splinter turns around]. But you are forgetting something." Blue Bird said. "Which is?" Splinter asked. "Let's say, you wish you heard us say we are unstoppable. And yes, we are for, steel." Blue Bird replied. Soon, Splinter gets baptized by Aqua Pede, who shots water all over his steel body. Splinter screams, as he rust. His sharp blades becoming moldy steel. Soon, he let's out a final scream, before he freezes entirely. Blue Bird helps Cat Noir up, as Ladybug helps herself up, and then gives an anger jealous look at Blue Bird. They all walk over to Splinter. "Well, that was way more affective than I can." Cat Noir said. "Now all we need to do is find his megakuma is located." Blue Bird replied. They look over the guy, until Ladybug finds it. "Got is. It's a purple knife." Ladybug said. "Sharp look, LB." Blue Bird replied. "Again, good one." Cat Noir said, as the two fist bump. Ladybug growls, before she breaks the knife. The megakuma flies out, and the battle is over. Soon, Splinter turns back into the man he once was. "Ok, let's see who the lucky victim is... wait? How the heck is this guy?" Blue Bird asked. The guy isn't someone the heroes know. He has hazel eyes, brown hair, and a sort of detective like outfit on. The man rubs his head. "What the? Who are you?" Man asked. "We were asking the same thing about you." Blue Bird replied. "What?" Kagami asked, as she shows up. Everyone looks at her, and when the man squints his eyes, he gasp in shock. Kagami approaches everyone, and looks at the man. Covering her mouth after she gasp. "D... Dad?" Kagami asked.
