Felix
*After Felix Ran After Ephemeral*
Adrien was slowly squeezing the life out of Lie-la while her second in command started screaming at him in the classroom while I stayed in the art room. The rest of the class were either frozen in fear or probably dead from Ephemeral's blasts. I stared at the ring he gave to me. There was something off about it.
There was some sort of destructive energy coming from the ring that was sort of overwhelming. Out of curiosity, I put on the ring and a bright green light blinded me.
A small black cat floated in front of me looking panicked. "A-adrien?" It asked. I shook my head and it immediately zipped far away from me. "Who are you and where is he?!" It yelled. "Just calm down and-" ." Calm down! You want me to calm down when Adrien's missing and I ended up with his clone. Or maybe you're a sentimonster."
"I'm not a clone or a monster. I'm his cousin,Felix." I rolled my eyes at the annoying creature. "Hmm? Felix? Oh, you're the was that has a thing for pigtails!"
Pigtails?
"Forget what I said. Now how did you get that ring?" It asked floating around. "Adrien gave it to me. Now are you going to tell me what you are?" I asked. "Why would he just give it to you? He's not giving me up is he?" It suddenly panicked. "I don't think so. After he was akumatized-"." Wait! He was akumatized?!"
"Yes now let me finish!" I exclaimed getting irritated. "After he was akumatized, he handed it over to me and told me to keep it safe for him. He never mentioned anything about giving you up." I explained which made the creature panic even more.
"How is Chatnoir supposed to show up if he's akumatized? You have to hand me over to ladybug so she can help him!". "Won't she find out his identity that way when she has to give it back?" The creature huffed in annoyance at my question.
"I could take it to him after the battle." It snapped at me. "And if you get caught?". The creature growled in frustration. "Would it kill you to say something positive for once?!" I just shrugged and sat down.
"Well, what are we supposed to do. If you show up there as Chat noir, he would most definitely be pissed and I for one cannot stand you." I scoffed at its childishness. "You've only known me for like fifteen minutes! You know who I am, so are you finally going to tell me what you are?"
It studied me for a while before accepting defeat." My name is plagg and I'm the kwami of destruction."
**********
Now that I finally knew what plagg was and how important it- well he- is to Ephemeral, maybe I could bring Adrien back.
"How are you going to get to the Eiffel tower in time?" Plagg asked as I stared at the ring in my hand. "Don't even think about it kid!" He yelled snatching the ring from me.
"How the hell do you expect me to get to them?! They're all the way across the city on the Eiffel tower!". How the hell does Adrien put up with him!
I scoffed and put plagg and the ring in my pocket and ran out of the school. The streets were empty except for the few dead bodies that littered the ground. It was certainly a disturbing sight to see.
Glaring at the Eiffel tower that just seemed to be mocking me with it's distance, I grabbed a bike that was lying on the floor and rode it all the way there.
I am most definitely going to smack Adrien for choosing there for the battle between him and ladybug.
Chloe
Ladybug and I swung side by side until we reached the Eiffel tower. Adr-Ephrmeral was holding a badly mutilated Lyla in his hands and was about to deliver the final blow to end her once and for all.
Even if we all wanted her gone so badly, I couldn't just let that happen because apparently, "it's the right thing to do." Ladybug wrapped her yo-yo around Lyla and pulled her away from him.
"W-what took y-you l-losers so l-long!" She managed to choke out.
Even on the verge of death, she's still a bitch.
I was about to reply with a snarky comment when ladybug put an arm on my shoulder, silencing me. "Get her somewhere safe. I'll deal with him until you get back!"
I nodded, carrying Lie-la in my arms and hopping from roof to roof. "S-so Ladybug i-is r-recruiting i-incompetent h-heroes now?" She asked scoffing.
Doesn't she recognize me?
"How would you know if I'm incompetent if you've never even seen me fight before?" I asked as we neared the hospital.
"P-please! I m-mean look a-at you? You're n-nothing but a g-good for n-nothing insect like l-ladybug. Y-you wouldn't l-last a minute in b-battle with a small a-akuma not to t-talk of s-shadow m-moth..." She spat angrily before diving into another coughing fit.
She was starting to annoy me so the moment we got to the hospital, I dropped her on her ass on a bed. I know it's not the best way to treat a dying person but she was being ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous!
"W-what is w-wrong with y-you?!" She screeched. I scoffed angrily at her, " On a scale of one to ten my patience is at FUCK YOU so it's better if you just drank a tall glass of 'shut the fuck up' and let us superheroes do our job!"
She glared at me but shut up anyway. She gave me the middle finger but I just ignored her and left the hospital.
Time skip...
By the time I got to the Eiffel tower, Ladybug was holding a Ladybug themed can of hair spray. She spotted me and let out a sigh of relief as I joined her.
"So what's the plan ladybug?" I asked deflecting the blasts ephemeral threw at us. "I'm not sure. Something's still missing. Look out!" She screamed pushing me out of the way. Unfortunately, the blast hit her.
"Ladybug!" I ran to help her. She looked exhausted and completely drained. In my moment of distraction, Ephemeral shot at me knocking me close to the edge. My body was screaming at me to not get up, but as I saw Ephemeral grabbing ladybug by her neck and aiming another blast at her.
"Adrien, wait!" Someone yelled. I turned around and saw Felix looking exhausted but determined. "Go home Felix! I don't want to hurt you!" Ephemeral yelled not taking his eyes off ladybug.
I wanted to strike but ladybug mouthed 'not yet'. "Adrien stop all this right now or I'll get rid of your ring!"
That seemed to catch Ephemeral's attention as he turned to face Felix. "You wouldn't!" He hissed and Felix just shot him a smug look that screamed,"try me bitch!" Taking advantage of his distraction, Ladybug sprayed the hair spray in his eyes making him drop her.
"Now!" She yelled and I called for my venom, aiming for his chest. Ladybug took the staff from the now paralysed villain and broke it. "Bye bye little butterfly. Miraculous ladybug!"
Purple bubbles covered ephemeral before Adrikins fell to the floor. Felix quickly ran to help a dazed and slightly confused Adrien up.
********
We all got in Felix's limo and tried to convince him that he wasn't a terrible human being for causing all that destruction. He's taking it a lot harder than he should.
I know Felix said only to do it when we were exposing Lila but she made Adrikins cry.
She has to pay.
I sent a quick text to Juleka who was going to meet us later and went back to comforting Adrikins. By the time we got to Felix's house— well mansion— I had managed to make Adrien smile a little bit.
"Felix, you never told me you were having friends over." A lady in her early twenties asked smirking. She had long brown hair, big brown eyes and looked like she just hit the jackpot.
"It's none of your business Vinnie!" She smiled at Felix's and Marinette's entwined fingers. He glared at her and just told us to follow him.
I apologized to the Vinnie on his behalf.
"You didn't have to be so mean to Vinnie, Felix. She was only looking out for you." I heard Marinette scolding him while he just looked away guiltily.
He is so whipped.
Now to make a call with a certain Agreste.
