Capítulo 17: Mr. Pigeon
"Ugh, come one! Can't we go any faster?"
Marinette and I are on a bus, a very slow one. Presumably because of the pigeons on the road sent by Mr. Pigeon.
"Sorry folks, we have a situation here. You'll need to get off the bus now."
Oh, right. We have to walk our way home. God damn it.
As the bus doors open, I hear Marinette gasp.
"Uh, this is weird..."
"Do you think it's him?"
I glanced at my friend. She nodded her head.
"Probably."
The two of us awkwardly walked through the crowd of pigeons towards the big news screen to find out what was going on. Well, Marinette went to find out, I was pretending.
Out of topic but I must say, though I've only been here for about a month or so, no one think I'm suspicious, yet. I should consider becoming an actor.
Back to the screen, Ms. Chamack was reporting the news.
"Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Pigeons have taken over Paris. This is just one of the many alarming situations happening.
"Yes, I've just bee told that someone named Mr. Pigeon is making an announcement."
A man in a pigeon inspired suit was standing on the side of the Eiffel Tower. And let's just say it probably won't be winning any fashion awards. Isn't Hawkmoth's alter-ego a supposed a world re-known fashion designer? Or did all his talent run away from fear when he becomes Hawkmoth since he's so creepy looking?
Mr. Pigeon had started his speech with pigeon sounds. Sounds that don't belong to a human's vocal cords.
"Roo, roooo! Sorry to ruffle your feathers, but Paris now belongs to the pigeons! Flap, flap, roooo, roooooooo!"
I can't imagined the embarrassment he's going to face when he's deakumatised.
"He's puns are worse than Chat Noir's!" Exclaimed Marinette. "I'm going to transform, stay safe, okay?"
Without waiting for my answer, she ran off.
********
"Hello, Sliver!"
The black suited superhero of Paris dropped down beside me.
"Chat?"
"Oh, on a first name basis are we?"
"You literally have a nick name for me."
"I know. Anyways, you know there's an akuma out right- Achoo!"
"Chat? Are you okay?" Coming from a person with no allergies, that must suck.
"Yeah, I'm just allergic to pigeons. Achoo!" Replied Chat the sneezer.
"Well that's helpful."
Ladybug zoomed in between us with her yoyo.
"Yin? What are you doing here? I told you to get to a safe place!"
"Um, I was on my way home, but..."
"Chat Noir, hmm?"
"Yep."
Poor Chat watched the exchanged Ladybug and I just made and had a guilty look on his face.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Moving on to more important matters, I think the akuma is most likely in Mr. Pigeon's bird whistle. My friend and I saw him at the Palais de Chaillot just now, and he was kicked out for feeding pigeons, probably why he got akumatised."
"Good thinking Yin! Now I think I know how we can trap him and find out where he is..."
Ladybug explained her plan.
"What? No! If Chat Noir actually gets captured, how are you going to fight Mr. Pigeon by yourself? You know what? I should be the bait. If anything happens, you can rescue me."
"Of course not, Sliver! You're just a civilian!"
"I don't know if I should take offense from that."
"Fine, we'll go along with Yin's idea," Ladybug cuts in.
I grinned.
********
"Wow! So many feathers! Too bad they're from pigeons though, they suck!"
I decided that acting anti-pigeon would be the fastest way to attract the pigeon lover's attention.
"Psst, Sliver. You should act more natural, or Mr. Pigeon is never going to believe your causing any harm," advised Chat.
"Natural?"
"Yeah," Chat said nodding his head. "Like this!"
He started doing a weird dance, moving his arms and legs in a robotic way.
I gave him a what-the-hell face. "That's natural?"
"What's that suppose to mean?"
But before I could answer, a flock of pigeons came down and caged me, probably planning to bring me to the Grand Palais.
"Achoo! Sliver!"
"C'mon, Chat. Let's follow her!"
"Got it, LB!"
********
I was put in a cage with a bunch of park keepers in the Grand Palais. And yes, my immaculate guessing skills were correct, though it didn't really help my situation.
All of a sudden, I felt the sun shining on my back.
I looked up to see a waving Chat and a satisfied Ladybug.
But then Chat's allergies decided to act up, making him sneeze and making Ladybug look much less satisfied.
"So much for the element of surprise. Oh well, haiyaa!"
She and Chat jumped down on Mr. Pigeon, making him fall off the railing he was standing on. But not to worry, he was saved by little pigeons who created a pigeon bed for him. That sounds weird.
Mr. Pigeon's pigeons then formed into two balls around each of his hands by Mr. Pigeon's command.
"I have a bone to peck with you pests!"
"I'll be honored," said Chat.
But neither him nor Ladybug had a chance to do anything before getting punched by Mr. Pigeon's pigeon fists and slamming into the cage the park keepers and I were trapped in.
"Get us out of here Ladybug!" Called Officer Roger.
Ladybug turned to us and nodded. "Chat Noir, use your cataclysm!"
"Got it, cataclysm!"
We were free.
"My turn!" Said Ladybug. "Lucky Charm!"
A spotted coin fell into her hand.
"A coin? What am I suppose to do with this?"
"You can't buy your way out of here!"
Mr. Pigeon was getting closer by the second, but Ladybug still didn't have a plan.
"Ladybug I think I know what to do! Mister Pigeon gets his powers by controlling the pigeons, if we distract the birds, then he'll be powerless!"
Ladybug eyes flashed in realization. "You're a genius, Yin!"
She looked around the room and got her plan.
"Chat Noir, you and I distract the pigeons," Ladybug said hurriedly. She turned to me. "I trust you." After placing the coin in my hand, she went at Mister Pigeon with Chat.
I looked at the coin in my palm and then at the vending machine at the other side of the room. Dodging Mr. Pigeon and friends, I slid between his feet. Ladybug had him held up above, so I got away easily. The pigeons came after me but Chat used his baton as a shield. Finally, I reached my destination. Sliding in the coin, I ordered a snack. A bag of popcorn came out and I tossed it over to Chat.
"Open it, Chat!"
Chat nodded and threw his stick at the snack bag, making it burst open.
The popcorn inside landed on Mr. Pigeon, his friends, who turned out to be not so loyal after all, started to crowd around him to get to the snack.
When he was blinded by the pigeons, Ladybug untied his whistle. Out of the bird whistle, which was now broken in half, came a purple butterfly.
"No more evil doing for you, little akuma. Time to devilize!"
Ladybug tossed her yoyo, catching the evilised butterfly.
"Gotcha! Bye bye little butterfly!"
As the butterfly flew away, Ladybug threw her yoyo into the air. "Miraculous Ladybug!"
Mr. Pigeon transformed into his original self, sitting up confused. "Where am I?"
"Heh, that's what they all say," I said.
"Pound it!"
********
"Where is that girl?" Panicked Alya.
"She's probably making the final touches of her hat. I'm sure she'll be here in a few minutes," I said, patting her back.
"Yin, she doesn't have a few minute! Gabriel Agreste's assistant is already here!"
"I'm *Huff* here!"
Alya and I turned to see Marinette with a hat box in her hands.
"Girl, finally. Now let's see what your mastermind came up with!"
"Ta-da!"
Marinette lifted the cover off her hat, showcasing her design.
"Oh girl, it's brilliant!"
"It is, isn't it?"
"You sure are talented!"
"And you are?" Came a monotone voice.
"M-mister Agreste! I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng. My hat was inspired by the akumatization that happened yesterday, completed with a real pigeon feather."
"Very exquisite creation, you definitely have the laboring hands of a hat maker Miss Dupain-Cheng," said Gabriel Agreste. "You are the winner, my son will be wearing your design at his net photoshoot."
Upon hearing this news, Marinette's smile stretched form ear to ear. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Awesome job, Marinette! Can I try on the hat?" Asked Adrien.
"Sure!"
But before he could properly model it, he burst out into a sneeze.
"Pigeon allergy?"
"Yup."
