Chapitre 34: The New Hero
A plan. What I need is a plan.
Okay, so Reflekta's goal is to make everyone look like her so she'll most likely go to city hall to take over from Mayor Bourgeois. I'll go there and...And what?
I sighed. "This looked so much easier when Ladybug does it. So wish that I had watched more of the show!"
But complaining isn't going to do me any good. Now, a plan to stop Reflekta.
********
I was flying towards the TV station.
Originally, I wanted to confront Reflekta at city hall, but I thought that setting up a trap at a place I have time to get familiar with would tip the odds in my favor. And when I'm done, I'll just bait her using the live broadcast.
There is a small flaw in my plan though. Since Hawkmoth doesn't know about the Owl Miraculous, he might prevent Reflekta from coming. But I do doubt it, he's very power-hungry after all.
When I had arrived at the TV station, I broke- I mean went in by not smashing a window on the top floor. Whatever, my 'Revamp' somewhat time travel power will fix it like the Miraculous Ladybug anyway.
Besides, I have no time to lose. It was almost sundown already. Reflekta's probably the only akuma that has lasted this long.
I looked around the room for something I can use to capture the akuma. Then, it hit me.
After having everything set up, I turned on the camera.
"Hello, Reflekta." I said with a smile, waving at the camera. "Now I'm sure you've never heard of me before, but that's okay. All you need to know is that I'm a superhero waiting to defeat you." I flicked my necklace a bit. It glittered beautifully under the lighting of the studio.
"I'll be waiting~!" I said and turned off the camera.
I gave myself a little more time to calm down. Once I was ready, I turned off all the lights in the studio and waited.
********
"H-hello?" Asked a voice.
The room was dark, but thanks to my night vision, I could see clearly.
Reflekta was at the door, but from the stuttering, I could tell it was probably just an innocent citizen forced the do her biding. Most likely Mayor Bourgeois.
While the-person-I-assume-to-be-Mayor-Bourgeois looked around, I snuck out of the studio and ran down the hall, because I think that Reflekta would be waiting for the person she sent to trick me.
"Argh!" A scream came from around the corner I was at. Reflekta had fallen for my trick.
"Bingo," I said under my breath, and continued running.
But what I saw wasn't a tied up akuma victim. Instead, it was Reflekta holding up the rope from the trap I had set up.
When she saw me, Reflekta let out a cackle. "Did you really think I was going to fall for something like this? A net triggered by a rope on the ground. You're a newbie, aren't you?" She snickered.
I stared in shock. I had hidden that rope so well! How did she see it? Guess I'm really not cut out to be a superhero...
"But that aside, your costume looks ridiculous! How about I give you a little makeover?"
, I tell myself while dodging one of Reflekta's attacks.
"You underestimate me, Reflekta!" I shouted, sliding between her legs and wrapping one of them with my belt. "There is something called being a natural." I threw her into the net she had torn down earlier.
She was tangled up so I took the opportunity to pounce. I don't think real owls do that though.
But it turns out she was just acting, should've seen that coming. She ducked as I came at her and kicked my knees, making me buckle over and fall into the net.
"But you're not a natural," said Reflekta smirking. She tied up the net. "So I wouldn't be worried."
"I see that you aren't one either!" I swiped the net in half with my claws and flew out. These things are .
Reflekta was not happy about my escape. She growled at me and said, "Come down here!"
I stuck my tongue out at her. "Why should I?"
"Ugh!" She shouted while I dodged another beam from her.
I continued to play with her, hoping to but enough time to come up with another plan. Why, oh why, did I not have a backup plan?
Unluckily, Hawkmoth was getting impatient. A purple butterfly appeared in front of Reflekta's face. When it disappeared, Reflekta made the initiative to chase me. I decided to lead her back to the studio. I have night vision, so it wouldn't be a problem.
I flew in and realized it was a bad idea. I forgot that Mayor Bourgeois was in there! But...Where is he?
I quickly looked around. Reflekta was coming and didn't have much time. After another round of looking, I still didn't see any sign of the mayor.
"There you are!" Reflekta shot another beam at me.
I did a cartwheel to avoid it. Then, I rolled behind Reflekta and tackled her from behind while simultaneously kicking the studio doors close. Now we were in total darkness.
Reflekta started panicking. "Where are you?" She demanded, spinning around senselessly. Watching her from above was quite amusing, and I would have watched longer if I wasn't on a mission to stop her.
I turned my belt into a hammer and quietly tiptoed towards Reflekta. When I was close enough, I smashed the mirror bracelet on her hand and an akuma flew out. I opened my now butterfly cage belt and trapped it in.
Reflekta was surrounded by purple goo as she fell to the ground. When the slime was gone, Juleka was back.
"Juleka!" I cheered, hugging me friend.
"Who are you?" She muttered.
"O-oh!" Whoops. "Sorry, um. You were akumatised into Reflekta and I saved you. Does that sound self-absorbed?"
Juleka shook her head. She bit her lip and looked up again, but quickly lowered her head.
I was going to ask her to tell me what was wrong but then someone behind me spoke.
"E-excuse me?" Asked Mayor Bourgeois. "Are you going to change me back?"
"Ah, yes."I thought. "I will."
I took in a deep breath. I took a of deep breaths today.
I reached to my waist to grab something, when I realized that I didn't know how 'Revamp' works.
For some reason, I think I had thought I would just have an object to throw and say revamp for the power to do it's work like how Ladybug does her 'Miraculous Ladybug' but...
I started to panic again, but this time, I knew how to calm myself down and not overthink.
I decided to read the manual, easy solution! Why was I even panicking-?
Oh, wait. My belt is in the form of a butterfly cage right now.
"Um, Mayor Bourgeois? Can you look for a cage like object to trap the akuma in?" I asked, gesturing to the dark blue cage.
"But isn't that cag you made doing a good job?"
"I need to read the manual, haven't really studied it too much," I said, giving an awkward smile.
"Okay...Would this camera case suffice?" Asked the mayor, holding up a black casing.
"It would, thank you very much."
I held the butterfly cage in my hand and willed it to return o it's original form. When the akuma flew out, I zipped it in the case Mayor Bourgeois had handed me.
I then turned my belt into the manual.
"Knowledge...Dark magic...Bad luck on enemy...Flight...Revamp!"
I started at the screen blankly. Sliver moon dust?
"U-uh, are you going to fix everything, or not?" Asked a impatient mayor. Chill out, dude.
"Oh, yeah..." Never try, never know right?
"Sliver moon dust..." I watched as my dark blue belt morphed into a pile of sliver dust in my hands. How is this dust going to fix everything. Did I do something wrong?
I bit my lip and nodded t myself. "Revamp!" I shouted throwing the moon dust above my head.
The dust swirled in the air and multiplied by hundreds. It flew through the air, making everything go back to the way in was. Including the camera case.
The akuma flew upwards and was about to go after it when...
"Time to devilize! No more evil doing for you akuma!"
I turned around and saw Ladybug and Chat Noir standing at the door of the filming station.
"Chat!" I said excitedly. Thankfully I caught myself midsentence. "Uh, Noir! And Ladybug! I see you've returned to your superhero forms!"
"Yes. We have," said Ladybug cautiously.
"Hey~! What's you name?" Asked Chat, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Oh, I'm..." Right, a name. Why would I have had the time to think of a name while panicking? "I'm...Oh, look! I'm about to detransform! Gotta go!" I said and flew out of the studio.
"Wait! Can you meet us at the Eiffel Tower later at 8 o'clock? I need to have a talk with you!" Called Ladybug.
"Uh, sure!" I called back.
Well, dang. My first meet with the heroes of Paris. Not really, but in my superhero form. Gotta think of a name for myself too.
