Miraculous Digi Adventure

The Unrivaled Rivals

   "Our experiments have been quite fruitful." Hawkmoth mused aloud as Dinobeemon crawled aimlessly around the dome like sanctum.
  "Yes master, we have even coaxed a Digimon to the ultimate level, it will only be a matter of time before we acquire the treasures you seek." The buzzing voice was accompanied by the pealing of metal as the creature's claws dug into the walls. The beast was becoming more and more stir crazy as Hawkmoth would not permit it to roam the rest of the mansion like Hawkmon.
  The bird Digimon had been joined at the hip to Nathalie since her last fainting spell.
  "There is one last experiment I wish to try then we can begin the real work." Hawkmoth's sickening smile drew the Digimon from the wall to slink next to its master.
  "Yes? What? Do tell."
  Hawkmoth drew a butterfly to his hand.
  "We must see if a Digimon alone can be akumatized and if so just how far I can push their powers." The villain grinned maliciously as his partner practically bounced with excitement.
  "Do it master, akumatized me! I will be Unstoppable!" The Digimon all but begged.
  "No!" Hawkmoth snapped.
  The Digimon shot back then slunk toward its master low to the ground to show submission.
  "Why not my master? Have I not been of great use?" The Digimon asked.
  "Of course you have dear partner." Hawkmoth's sultry words waxed the chimera's ears. "You are invaluable which is why I can't use you as a test subject, we must find another to use first. To make sure there are no unwanted side effects." The villain gently patted the Digimon as he reached out with his power looking for a target.
  Dinobeemon stiffened and looked up it's own senses detecting a strong Digimon entering the area.
  "Oh master I believe I have found the perfect subject." It chuckled darkly. "Oh yes." Insectoid eyes gleamed reflecting a large shape in their soulless depths. "The perfect subject."

  "Really!" Adrien gasped. Every cell of the young model's body was vibrating. "Father will let me have a Digimon!"
  "We have discussed it and have come to the conclusion that as things stand it is safer for you to have a Digimon of your own." Nathalie stated not a drop of emotion in her tone as usual.
  "If you'd like we can look into- Oooph!"
  Nathalie was cut off as Adrien suddenly hugged her.
  "Thank you thank you, tell father he's the best I already know the perfect Digimon for me." Adrien grinned ear to ear and ran back to his room.
  Nathalie, still a little shocked from the sudden affection quickly sobered herself.
  "I guess I shouldn't be shocked." The Secretary sighed. Hawkmon stifled a chuckle next to her. "Just be ready for your fencing competition!" She called after him.

   "Pleeeeease." Adrien begged.
  Blackgatomon stared at him.
  "You want me to what?" The Digimon's irked expression was apparent.
  "Dedigivolve so I can take you to fencing and school, it won't be that bad plus you could get out more!" Adrien pleaded.
  The digital feline cringed.
  "But I hate my rookie form, it's so lame." He scowled.
  "You can digivolve back any time we're alone I'll keep the digivice nearby, pleeeeease." Adrien was on his knees now begging. He groveled less with Ladybug. The Digimon even noticed this.
  "You might as well, I know this room seems cool now but it does get boring quickly." Plagg added floating by with a slice of cheese.
  "Hnnnng... fine." Blackgatomon stood up and took in a breath.
  The digivice at Adrien's hip beeped a bit as Blackgatomon glowed then was replaced by a white light that slowly warped and dulled into a new slightly smaller shape.
  Adrien's look of astonishment slowly turned into a brilliant smile. This was too perfect.

  "Come oooooooon." Lalamon begged floating in circles above Marinette as she worked. The young designer sat at her sewing machine, needles in her mouth.
  "Nope." She smirked as she worked, hands moving slowly and smoothly.
  "Just tell me what it iiiiisss." Lalamon pouted. Or it would have if it had lips, instead it was more like a hollow eyed disappointment emoji.
  "Not happening." Marinette giggled at the Digimon's dismay.
  "You already finished your design for Jagged Stone. You have no school work left. What are you making?!?" The Digimon all but wailed.
  Marinette continued to giggle at the Digimon's woe. Even Tikki was stifling giggles.
  "It's a special project, don't worry about it." Marinette was almost ready to move onto the next part of said project when a knock came at the trap door above her bed.
  "Huh?" She looked up at the roof. "Now what?" Marinette quickly looked at the clock and calendar. She needed to leave soon to watch Adrien and Kagami's fencing competition.
  She quickly climbed up to her bed and pushed at the door.
  "I swear to god if it's Chat Noir after free croissants again I'm gonna strangle him with his belt." The last word caught in her throat as she poked her head outside and gaped at the sight.
  Kneeling on her roof, barely fitting in the small space was a massive humanoid being.  Marinette's eyes struggling to move up and up passed ripped black jeans, rippling muscles, and a straight sword the size of her mother until finally she came to the face of this person and found it to not be a person at all.
  "Hello." Said a face that reminded her of the Chronicles of Narnia. "Are you the hero Ladybug?"
  The level of shocked Marinette was feeling at the moment couldn't be measured by words. It felt like her jaw dropped so hard it looped around and hit her in the back of the head.
  "Uh uh uh w-who's asking?" She squeaked.
  "I am Leomon and I need your help." The massive lion headed man spoke apologetically.
   "Uh I'd invite you in... but I don't think you'd fit." The stunned designer sputtered.
  "No need, I am fine out here." The Digimon responded.
  "Marinette who are you talking to?" Lalamon asked floating up next to her.
  "Whoa!!! Leomon!" The plant gasped.
  "You know him?" Marinette requested.
  "Leomon is famous in the digital world! One of the most noble warriors of all time!" Lalamon squealed seeing the Digimon in person.
  The lion man gave a slight huff.
  "I don't know about all that. I just try to do what I can for everyone." He replied sternly though Marinette could swear she saw a bit of blush form on his fuzzy face.
  "If you really are a noble Digimon I'll definitely help if I can." The designer smiled brightly trying to hide her still present panic.
  "Though first of all how did you know I was Ladybug?"
  "I followed my nose." The Digimon stated as though it were obvious.
  "After your last bout I followed the scent of baked goods to this establishment. Though I nearly got lost along the way. This city is full of bakeries, I can see why Digimon flocked here." He nodded in thought.
  Marinette sweat dropped but didn't comment on that particular weakness. She had tried every shampoo and conditioner on the market and still couldn't help but smell like fresh bread when she left the house. Not that there weren't worse things to smell like but she didn't need Lila or old Chloé to have extra ammo.
   "So what's the problem?" She finally asked ready to get things going and get the giant very obvious lion man off her roof.
  "Aww yes of course." Leomon began. "I believe my arch rival Ogremon has come to this city. I tracked him hear from the portal we came through in Saint-Denis."
  "The portals reached all the way to Saint-Denis!" Marinette paled. "I didn't realize this situation was so wide spread." The girl grimaced.
  "I'm afraid it's much more extensive than that." Leomon said gravely. The beastman reached over to the radio sat on Marinette's roof balcony and tapped it.
  Immediately the radio came to life blaring news from around the world roughly translated to french.
