Kapitel 37: Chapter 33: Miraculous Team vs. Silurus.
(Author's notes: In this chapter, the entire team will be taking on Silurus before Doorman shows up. But, three things that will be changed are as follows: one, since Chloe Bourgeois and Lynnette Bellecourt are no longer spoiled brats, Marinette's clothes and phone won't be thrown in the water of the beach. Two, Marinette won't be locked inside her changing tent. And last, but not least for the chapter in general, Marinette and Adrien won't be in their respective underwear and swimming trunks before transforming to take care of Silurus. Oh, and another change is that my iteration of Doorman in this chapter and the next two is the same iteration of Doorman who will be from the New York Special.
Also, just so you all know, there might be something in store for you all in the two-parter Miraculous New York chapters. I ain't going to say what it is; that would be a buncha spoiler alerts.
Enjoy chapter 33: Miraculous Team vs. Silurus.)
(Quantic Universe Earth 139, Paris, France, June 4th, 2015, Steel Butterfly's POV as he writes in his Rorschach-inspired journal in Master Fu's massage parlor while Master Fu meditates...)
Steel Butterfly's journal.
June 4th, 2015.
First journal entry of the day.
Today's the day when we not only have to deakumatize Silurus, but also we will be picked up by Doorman and taken to New York City to deal with the Trash Krakken.
I'm kinda nervous, to be honest.
Not only do I have to avoid letting Hawk Moth know in any way that I can breathe and fight underwater with and without the aqua potion, but also I have to help Marinette and Adrien make sure that they're fully clothed before we go to New York with Doorman.
On top of that, there's a high chance that Ladybug and Cat Noir might possibly forget that they can now use their powers an unlimited number of times without needing to recharge their powers or their kwamis, all thanks to an upgrade from me.
I still find it hard to believe, that our non-canon adventures with the Miraculous Adventures comics are coming to an end and pretty soon, it'll be back to normal Akumatized supervillains starting with Nadja Chamack aka Prime Queen, in addition to averting the Akumatizations of specific Akumatized supervillains.
And as far as I know in terms of chronological order, the next Akumatized supervillain debut after Prime Queen to avert if I can is Andre Glacier aka Glaciator.
More on that another time.
In any case, I hope that I can shed some light on how the Trash Krakken can be defeated.
But of course, in terms of the Trash Krakken being defeated, Ladybug has to use her Lucky Charm to summon a ball of chewing gum that is the exact same as a chewing gum brand that was discontinued in the 1950s for being too sticky. A hardball chewing gum, to be precise. Knightowl has to chew the gum in order to make it sticky enough to stick onto Ladybug's yoyo and attach it to the Mr. Squid toy inside the Trash Krakken's mass and Knightowl will be able to pull it out with her boomerang. And at the end of that, Cat Noir will use his Cataclysm on the boomerang, and it'll be easy to purify the toy in an effort to return the Trash Krakken back to normal permanently.
It sounds complicated, especially because of President Hombee's plan to obliterate the Trash Krakken with the powerful United Heroez members charging at the monster from space to make a shockwave from their punches that can prove to be powerful enough to potentially destroy the entire city's five boroughs.
It might be a tad difficult to convince President Hombee to let me and my team execute my plan, especially after having just told them about my plan last year during my Christmas visit.
But I know for a fact that because of my foreknowledge, my plan. Just. Might. Work.
But at the very least, I slightly don't like Knightowl that much.
Not only is she overbearingly strict, but she also strongly hates orders being disobeyed and she's very judgmental of other superheroes in the negative sense. Specifically in the third and fourth issues of Miraculous Adventures and in the New York Special episode when it comes to Ladybug and Cat Noir. Although, their actions usually prove themselves worthy of Knightowl's praise, especially when they worked together to save New York City from Techno-Pirate and Hawk Moth.
Unfortunately, when it comes to someone almost like or completely like Knightowl, I don't trust her one bit.
But I will admit that without superheroes like Knightowl, the United Heroez wouldn't be able to help the people of New York City, especially during Hawk Moth's attack on the Big Apple.
Yeah, I hate to admit it, but Ethereal Phoenix was right when she said that even Knightowl's rise to the ranks of the United Heroez was also a fixed point in time and that I can't interfere.
And besides, Knightowl learning to be gentler and humble in the New York Special still needs to happen no matter if Hawk Moth is in prison by that point in time or not.
But if Hawk Moth is in prison by the time the New York Special happens, we would need a replacement Hawk Moth so that way, when we save New York, we can easily give Jessica Keynes the Eagle Miraculous to have her claim her destiny as Gilbert du Motier Marquis de Lafayette's successor as Eagle. And when I say we need a replacement Hawk Moth, I actually mean it in the metaphorical sense, since we never need to worry about Hawk Moth Akumatizing Techno-Pirate and giving him the Eagle Miraculous to make him force the United Heroez to run amok and aim several nuclear missiles at Atlanta, Georgia. Baltimore, Maryland. Boston, Massachusetts. Charlotte, North Carolina. Chicago, Illinois. Cincinnati, Ohio. Cleveland, Ohio. Dallas, Texas. Denver, Colorado. Detroit, Michigan. El Paso, Texas. Houston, Texas. Indianapolis, Indiana. Kansas City, Missouri. Los Angeles, California. Miami, Florida. Minneapolis, Minnesota. Orlando, Florida. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Phoenix, Arizona. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Portland, Oregon. Sacramento, California. Salt Lake City, Utah. San Diego, California. San Francisco, California. Seattle, Washington. St. Louis, Missouri. Tampa, Florida. And Washington, D.C., simply to make Ladybug and Cat Noir surrender their Miraculouses under threat of a nuclear World War Three being unleashed upon the entire planet Earth.
In any case, I intend to also do some things for the United Heroez during my tri-monthly visits to New York after Heroes' Day ends, complete with me and my army being permanently victorious.
I haven't exactly ironed out the finer details just yet, but I'll get to that whenever I have the time to do so.
In any case, I also intend to do some things for my Shanghai contacts when the time for the Shanghai Special on Wang Cheng's 60th birthday comes along. I also haven't exactly ironed out the details on that one just yet, but I'll get to that one when I get time.
At the same time, I also intend to do something for when Grandmaster Su-Han arrives, and this time, I ironed out all the details.
I intend to take Su-Han on a multi-way trip backwards and forwards in time, A Christmas Carol style, to show him all that's been happening in this universe's timeline ever since the fall of the Order of the Guardians to give him a clearer understanding of the invention of the modern age. And that way, Su-Han will be given a clear view of the fact that even the Perfect Precepts need changes.
But anyway, I gotta get ready for the fight with Silurus.
God knows we're gonna need my foreknowledge to deakumatize Silurus before Doorman shows up. But first, I gotta get ready to teach Marinette, Adrien and Alix all about the basics of the Miraculouses and the kwamis.
(Master Fu's massage parlor, third person POV...)
Master Fu says to Marinette, Adrien and Alix, "The universe holds many secrets, you three. For starters, there are all different kinds of things we can see and hear, things we call tangible."
Wayzz adds, "Such as planets, flowers and the sun's rays, for example."
Master Fu adds as well, "Then, there are all different kinds of things that only our minds can help us to grasp, things that we call abstract."
Alix asks as she takes a guess, "Like... ideas... or emotions?"
Fluff answers, "Precisely!"
Master Fu continues, "Well, one of the universe's biggest secrets is that there are also abstract creatures."
Wayzz adds, "Such as fairies, ghosts, muses... and kwamis!"
Miguel then decides to point out to the others, "BUT since our senses can't perceive them whatsoever, we mistakenly believe that they don't exist!"
Adrien asks confusedly, "But Miguel, how can we respectively see our kwamis if they're abstract creatures?"
Miguel explains, "Because, ever since the Big Bang, kwamis roamed the entire universe without being able to interact with solid life forms. But then, five thousand years ago, a mage in Ancient China invented the Miraculouses to act as a conduit to allow people to see and hear kwamis, in addition to making the kwamis solid enough to touch and in addition to making it easier for the kwamis to eat any food they need to eat in order to recharge their powers after their powers have been used. This allows the kwamis to not only interact with human beings, but also to set them on the right path of heroics in times of trouble and times of war, as well as try new foods to be invented and learn more about the progress of humankind into the modern era."
Master Fu then states, "You gotta understand, every time something new comes into existence in the universe, like love, beauty, illusion, or even mathematics, a new kwami is born. For example, Fluff is the kwami of time. That basically signifies that she appeared at the Big Bang."
Wayzz adds, "Fluff was the first of us."
Alix remarks, "Wow, that's incredible! You know, Fluff, you look really good for an immortal rabbit lookalike."
After fighting the blush appearing on her white rabbit cheeks, Fluff flies over to Alix, and the twosome hugs each other.
Suddenly, Fluff zooms towards Alix's armpit and starts tickling it, causing Alix to squeal as she tries to swat Fluff away, "Eek! Hahahahahaha! Hey, Fluff! Eek! Stop! That really tickles!"
Fluff continues tickling Alix's armpit, and Alix continued laughing as she tries unsuccessfully to grab Fluff, making everyone face palm.
Miguel mutters, "Sometimes, I wonder why I even want to know the reasoning behind these tickle fights."
Tikki pulls Fluff away from Alix's armpit and says, "All right, that's enough."
Alix is given a few seconds to catch her breath before she remarks, "Not cool, Fluff!"
Fluff looks sheepish as she replies, "Sorry, I just wanted to have some fun."
Miguel then points out, "Well, Fluff, the thing is that not everybody on any version of Earth actually enjoys being tickled."
Marinette, Alix and Master Fu nod in unison for added emphasis.
Marinette then asks, "So, does this mean that there are also kwamis for kindness and nastiness?"
Master Fu replies, "Goodness, no, Marinette. Those are some of the most powerful emotions! But as far as we respectively know, nobody on any Earth is kind or nasty by nature in any circumstances."
Marinette, Adrien and Alix looked at each other.
Adrien subtly smirked because what his teammates already know is that one of his clones is replacing him at the photoshoot on the yacht to give the real Adrien the opportunity to learn more about the Miraculouses, the associated kwamis and so forth about them.
Suddenly, Marinette's phone rings.
Miguel teleports Adrien over to the yacht five minutes before the photoshoot starts.
Marinette answers her phone to a video call from Alya.
Marinette asks, "What is it, Alya?"
Alya asks, "Marinette! You're the only one missing, and you're always either early or on time! Did you forget your swimsuit or did you just go full scatterbrain this time?"
Marinette replies, "Sorry; it's just that one of my new teachers had me here for quite a while that I forgot. But what you're forgetting is that Steel Butterfly can teleport me there with time to spare. And you're also forgetting, Gabriel Agreste himself requested me to keep Adrien company. And Gabriel said that he would give me full range of the yacht's swimming pool to get my swimming fine toned for the day's exercise. But don't worry; Miguel made sure to help me pack my swimsuit. And rest assured, I'll still be there."
Marinette hangs up and says, "Sorry, Master, but I really have to go! See you next week!"
Miguel says, "We all need to go, but my sentiment exactly."
Wayzz remarks jokingly, "You should've given her the kwami of lateness, Master!"
Miguel interjects, "There's no such thing as a kwami of lateness! At least, that I know of."
Master Fu and Wayzz burst out laughing.
One hour later, at the Isle of Swans aka The Swan Island, Alya asks Nino, "Hey, that's his boat, right?"
Nino replies, "Yep! Adrien's photoshoot should be over soon."
Aiden then says, "I think Marinette and Adrien are gonna be inseparable for this photoshoot."
Meanwhile, Max is counting down Kim's pushups.
Alix remarks, "You're not gonna make it!"
Aurore Beaureal sneaks up behind Alix and tickles her from behind, causing Alix to gasp in an attempt to muffle her laughter before turning around to see Aurore running away.
Alix shouts, "Aurore! Get back here!"
Alix runs after Aurore.
Kim secretly takes note of how Alix seems to keep herself in shape without being overly buff.
Meanwhile, on the yacht, Marinette is still brimming with excitement when Gabriel Agreste briefly turned up in person to tell her that he wants Marinette to participate in the photoshoot with Adrien to promote young girls' swimsuits for his fashion brand.
And in addition to that, the theme for the photoshoot was summer love.
And Gabriel said that since Marinette is Adrien's girlfriend and she knows how to follow instructions, she gets to have the photoshoot with Adrien. It was only fair.
But what Gabriel didn't know was that Marinette and Adrien were only half excited because they knew Gabriel was gonna become Hawk Moth to Akumatize a fisherman into the supervillain Silurus.
So, being the actors they are, Marinette and Adrien accepted and got to work.
Vincent the photographer was so pleased with the progress of Marinette and Adrien's performance that he gave the twosome permission to swim in the swimming pool.
Suddenly, the Akumatized supervillain known as Silurus bursts out of the water, much to the shock, fear and horror to everyone on the beach and on the yacht.
Silurus remarks, "People of Paris! I am the Silurus! You've scared off enough fish with your screams and games! You used to scare my fish! But from now on, my fish will scare you!"
A big green fish grasps Chloe in its mouth, causing her to scream, "Help! I've been swallowed by a too fresh piece of sushi!"
Silurus remarks, "The Seine River is for fishing, not for swimming!"
Steel Butterfly turns up and uses his Aquaman-inspired control over fish to make the fish go away.
Silurus shouts, "What?! How is this possible?! You're not even Aquaman!"
Steel Butterfly replies, "True, but with my Butterfly Miraculous, ANYTHING is possible! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Suddenly, Steel Butterfly's clones turn up and they start tickling all of the girls in Ms. Bustier's class, causing them to laugh hysterically.
Marinette takes notice of this and mutters, "Of course Steel Butterfly would take advantage of our lady friends being in beach clothes to have his clones tickle torture them."
Noticing that nobody was around, Marinette and Adrien quickly dried off, put on their clothes and called out, "Tikki, Spots On!" "Plagg, Claws Out!"
Ladybug and Cat Noir flew off to the shore while their Marinette and Adrien clones took care of more diplomatic matters, so to speak.
Of course, they also saw some of Steel Butterfly's clones tickle torturing Chloe, Sabrina and Alya's feet while holding them upside down by their ankles.
Most of the other girls in the class looked like they wanted to pass out from their tickle torture session and they looked like they wanted to pass out from watching Steel Butterfly tickle torture their journalistic friend and the two former bullies. But they couldn't pass out because they were still refreshed.
Pushing the matter aside for now, Ladybug calls out, "Silurus! Hawk Moth is using your anger as a weapon! He told you that he wanted to help you, but the truth is that he doesn't care about you or your problems at all!"
Hawk Moth telepathically states, "Silurus! Don't listen to her! She doesn't know the first thing there is about fishing!"
But suddenly, just before Hawk Moth can say anything further, Lion Hunter kicks him hard in the back of the head, sending him to the shore.
Rhinocharge rushes towards Silurus in a running charge and smacks him in the chest with her horn.
Silurus stumbles a bit before Steel Butterfly blasts the fish villain with a bolt of electricity.
Silurus blubbers a bit as he feels his body convulsing by the intensity of the lightning bolt.
Ladybug punches Silurus with four left and right overhand punches before Cat Noir smacks him in the face with his baton.
Suddenly, Silurus summons his catfish army again and the majority of the heroes are kept occupied.
Blueclaw tries to slash Silurus with her talons, but she misses.
Cat Knight rushes forward with her own Cataclysm activated and she aims for Silurus' fishing rod.
But she misses as well, but thankfully she doesn't use it on anything else.
Corvo activates her power by saying, "Power Strip! I hereby strip Silurus of his powers and abilities PERMANENTLY!"
Corvo's right hand glows in multiple colors and she snaps her fingers, stripping Silurus of his powers.
Silurus looked pale as Cat Knight used her Cataclysm on his fishing rod.
Ladybug purifies the Akuma and uses her Miraculous Ladybug to fix everything.
And surprisingly, the girls in Ms. Bustier's class were healed of their forced laughter from being tickle tortured by Steel Butterfly's army of clones.
The heroes fist bumped just as Bunnyx showed up after retrieving her clothes.
Ladybug asks the fisherman, "Are you all right, sir?"
The fisherman answers, "I don't understand... I hadn't caught a fish in hours, and then suddenly, I got splashed in the face by a beach ball. I got mad and then I heard a voice in my head..."
Steel Butterfly replies before asking, "Don't worry, sir. You're back to normal. What's your name?"
The fisherman replies, "Isidore Boissonade."
Steel Butterfly nods.
Ladybug and the team subtly noted that their leader was secretly satisfied that he knows the identity of the fisherman who was Akumatized into Silurus, even though it was specifically for this timeline only.
After Isidore was sent on his way, Ladybug and Cat Noir then turned to Steel Butterfly and Cat Noir asks, "Did you really have to tickle torture those girls, boss?"
Steel Butterfly answers, "If I'm being honest, I normally don't approve of tickling, but... (He leans to whisper) (Softly) most of them refused to believe anything your primary timeline counterparts said about Lila Rossi's true colors."
Stroking her chin in thought, Ladybug then quizzes, "Well? When will Doorman be here?"
Steel Butterfly answers, "If I recollect, he should be here in about 3 minutes. So, be sure to feed your kwamis and make sure that you have your clothes on."
Ladybug and Cat Noir run off to their tents and they do what they were told to do.
Three minutes later, a magical doorway portal opens at the front of Marinette's tent and Doorman appears, resembling his appearance from the New York Special.
Suddenly, Purple Changer and Venus Avian turned up, and they are accompanied by their superhero champions, Thorn Bullet and Undefeated Savior.
Doorman gestures to the doorway to New York City, and the eleven Miraculous heroes plus two non-Miraculous superheroes follow Doorman through the doorway.
Suddenly, on a nondescript rooftop in New York City, the thirteen heroes appear on the rooftop followed by Doorman.
Majestia is spotted on the same rooftop and Ladybug remarks in shock, "Majestia?! I don't believe it... you're Majestia! The most powerful, most brave and most awesome superhero in the history of the twenty-first century! Oh, my goodness, my classmate would blow a fuse when I tell her in the future how I met you."
Though slightly flattered, Majestia then says, "Ladybug, America needs Steel Butterfly, you and your crew!"
Suddenly, Knightowl and Sparrow showed up.
Cat Noir asks in shock, "Knightowl?! Sparrow?!"
Sparrow replies, "(Deep voice) That's right, it's us. But we'll sign autographs later, okay?"
Steel Butterfly then says, "Guys, we happen to have a big situation here in New York. And it's time we explained what's going on here."
To be continued...
(Author's notes: In the next chapter, Steel Butterfly will be reminding his teenage compatriots that they can use their powers an unlimited number of times before they have the chance to even think about rushing off to feed Tikki and Plagg.
Also, just so you know, there'll be a fight between Robustus and Steel Butterfly's antithesis for the traitorous robot. But I ain't going to say the name of Robustus' opposite; that would be a spoiler alert.
See you all in chapter 30: The Miraculous Team meets the United Heroez.)
