A week finally goes by, and it's the weekend again with Master Fu. Nathan informed our parents that he would be joining me in ninjutsu training. Mother was slightly annoyed and reluctant but let him go ahead. We have about 10 minutes before we have to depart the house. Nathan is in my room asking who Master Fu is, which is what he's been doing all week.

"So, who is he?"

"Can I please tell him?" Flamme pleads.

I sigh. "Fine, go ahead."

"Yes!" Nathan cheers.

"He's the keeper of all the Miraculouses," Flamme says.

"He's really old," Zorra says.

"Really?" I say with an eye roll. "Must you always refer to that?"

"Yes, he's an old man," Zorra says.

"How is an old man going to help us train?" Nathan asks.

"Master Fu may be over 180, but, with his experience as a Miraculous holder, he can give us a lot of help," I say.

"He's over 180?!" Nathan screams.

I smack my hand to my forehead while shaking it. "Out of what I just told you, you hear the most unimportant thing..."

"Sorry, that's just crazy, that must be a world record or something," Nathan says.

"He's the holder of the turtle Miraculous, so, of course, he's old," Flamme says.

"How many Miraculous holders are there?" Nathan asks.

"You, me, Chat, Ladybug, Hawkmoth, Master Fu, and someone has the peacock Miraculous. However nobody has made an appearance as the peacock yet, so 7," I say.

"And all are in Paris?" Nathan asks.

"Seems so."

"How many Miraculouses are there?"

"That I actually don't fully know," I say and turn to Flamme and Zorra. "How many are there?"

"Remember when Master Fu lifted up that tile in the case?" Zorra asks.

"Yeah."

"Well, there's one beneath each," she continues.

"The fox Miraculous is the only replicated one," Flamme says. "There are more Miraculous than he wants you to think."

"Are they all based on animals and bugs?" I ask.

"Yep, and I can name them all!" Zorra says. "Ladybug, cat, fox, fox, turtle, moth/butterfly, peacock, bee, rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, horse, snake, monkey, goat, rooster, pig, and dog!"

"There are 20 total Miraculouses," Flamme says.

"Wow, that's impressive," Nathan says.

I feel my face heat up at his words. Oh, jeez! I still can't get over what I did! I'm so thankful I had the decency to wear underwear! "Jeez..."

"Mira? You okay? You look like you have a fever!" Nathan fusses.

Flamme and Zorra begin to giggle mischievously. "Impressive! Impressive! Impressive!" they chant.

"S-stop! You guys are mean! I had no control of myself!"

"Oh you had total control," Zorra says. "You wanted to look."

"I'm lost..." Nathan says.

"When she was–" Flamme begins but I grab him and stuff him in my bag along with Zorra.

"When you were what?" Nathan asks.

"N-nothing! You don't ever need to know what happened!" I blurt out. "Ever!"

A knock comes to my door, and Gabrielle walks in the room. "It's time for your ninjutsu lessons. The car is waiting out front."

"Thank you, Gabrielle. We'll make our way down there now," I say.

She bows and exits the room.

"I guess it's time to go finally meet Master Fu," Nathan says.

We exit my room to the car parked out front. We enter the car and buckle ourselves in before the car begins moving. We're dropped off in no time and exit the vehicle to head inside Master Fu's place. We wave our driver off and enter the building.

"Master Fu! Wayzz!" I call out. "I have arrived!" We walk into the usual meeting area. "Master Fu?"

"Already in the training area. Come on over!" he shouts.

I look to Nathan, who seems very uncomfortable, and wave him to follow me. We enter the dojo, as I call it, and Wayzz quickly hides, causing Master Fu to look at us from whatever he was doing.

"Hey, Master Fu and Wayzz," I greet.

"Who's Wayzz?" Nathan asks.

"His Kwami!" Zorra exclaims, rushing out of my purse.

Master Fu looks at us with confusion then nods in understanding. "This is who you chose to be your holder, Zorra?"

"Yep!" Zorra claims. "We've come here to practice!"

"Wayzz, it's okay to come out," Master Fu says and Wayzz floats out.

"Hello, Mirabelle," Wayzz greets. "Are you going to introduce us?"

"Oh, sorry! Well, this guy is my younger twin brother!" I say, wrapping my arm around Nathan's shoulders. "I found out when I went home the last time I was here. He hasn't transformed yet. I didn't want him to until we got here."

"Smart," Master Fu says.

I smile. "I thought so."

"He's also too scared to," Flamme says, coming from my bag.

"Well, that must change," Master Fu says. "Has Zorra explained everything to you?"

Nathan nods. "Yeah, she said all I had to do was say the word trans- well, -form."

"You also need a cool catchphrase!" I exclaim. "Ready for mine? Flamme, time to transform. Flamme, tricks out!" I feel myself transform as I strike a pose.

"Wow!" Nathan cheers. "That was awesome!"

"Now it's your turn," Master Fu says.

"W-what?!" Nathan shouts. "Y-yeah... I don't think I can handle it. I-I mean I've always wanted to be a superhero but now that it's p-presented to me I don't think I can..."

"I was a little skeptical at first too," I admit.

"A little?" Master Fu says with a chuckle.

"I was a fragile model girl that didn't have any friends! Who in their right mind would give superpowers to a person like that?" I complain. "...But... I'm grateful you did."

Master Fu gives me a cheeky smile and turns to Nathan. "It's your turn."

Nathan sighs and takes a deep breath. "Zorra, time to transform! Sneak out?"

His transformation is much like mine. His hair reverts back to the color when he dyed it and his eye color turns to the same orange as mine. His hair grows to back before we cut it and a shield appears on his left arm.

"That's new," I say, turning to Master Fu. "I thought we got all the same powers?"

"Guess not," Master says with a chuckle.

"How do I look?" Nathan asks.

"Take a look for yourself," I say, pointing to the wall mirror behind him.

He turns around and gasps, looking all over himself. "I look like you!"

I chuckle. "Yes, you do."

"Wait, where's Zorra?"

"Did you not notice?" Wayzz asks. "A Kwami is sucked into the Miraculous to give you powers."

"That just seems really wrong..." Nathan says.

"Yeah, I feel bad about it too, but it's normal," I say.

"Well, what will you call yourself?" Master asks.

"Um... Zorro?" he says. "I guess..."

"Real original..." I comment with a laugh. "That's just like you though."

"You're so different than when you're Mirabelle," Nathan says.

"Yeah, I have to act all nice and proper as Mirabelle, but as Kitsune I can be myself and let loose," I tell him. "Much like Ladybug and Chat Noir do as well."

"I'm sure you'll find your hidden self too," Master Fu says. "But, right now, we need to train you. I'll start you off the same way I did your sister. The way we do that is by you dodging lasers."

"L-lasers!" Nathan shrieks.

"Well, not real lasers," Wayzz says. "At least at first."

"Okay... Wait, what?!"

"Mirabelle, you will be practicing flying again," Master says.

"F-flying?!" Nathan shouts.

"I know how much you're into superheroes, Nathan, so I'm gonna tell you that we basically have the same powers as the Human Torch," I say.

"That's incredible!"

Master Fu and Wayzz begin to chuckle. "It's like watching you all over again," Master Fu says, referring to me.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask.

"You were so amazed at everything that you could do," Wayzz says. "It's entertaining, to say the least."

I giggle. "I guess I was, wasn't I?" I say, thinking back on my first day.

"Just a little model," Master says. "With no skills whatsoever."

"Well, now you have to deal with an artist with delicate penmanship," I say.

"Wayzz, please help Nathan get set up and help him today while I help Mirabelle," Master says.

"Yes, sir!" Wayzz salutes and takes Nathan into a separate room.

I give Nathan a large smile and a thumbs up as he leaves.

"Alright, light it up," Master says.

I nod and light myself on fire. I begin to steady myself before I take off around the room only to crash into a wall after a few minutes. "Shit... Owww..."

"Get up and try again."

I sigh. "This is hard!"

"It is difficult, but if it wasn't, everyone would be doing it. Get up and try again."

I nod and try again. I stay in the air for about ten minutes before falling straight onto my face. I groan and get back up before Master Fu says to get up again. "Alright, I think I got it."

"Let's try you absorbing fire now," Master says, walking over to where he was when we got here. "This is a flamethrower."

"And where in the world did you get one of those?" I frantically ask. "Those things aren't cheap!"

"I've gathered a lot of money over the years. I have so much I don't really know what to do with most of it. I'm glad that I have found something to spend it on. That's to help train you and your brother now."

"And Ladybug and Chat Noir, eventually, right?" I ask.

"Correct," he says and nods. "Now, how about we light one of these up and test your absorbing power."

"One of these?! You have more than one!?" I shout with wide eyes. "How many did you get?"

"About ten."

"That's almost €20,000!"

"It's just passed 15,000, but that's not important. Let's see how much heat you can take." He tells me where to stand as he walks over to turn one on. "You ready to feel the heat!"

I give a firm nod and brace myself for the heat. It hits me full on, and I take it all in through my suit into my body. "Wow, this feels good."

"Then I guess that means we should take it up a notch," Master says and turns on the next flamethrower.

"It feels like I'm in the shower," I say. "I wonder if I could eat it like Natsu..."

"Should I add another?"

"Yeah," I shout. I'm thankful my hair isn't burning off either.

Master Fu turns on another flamethrower. I feel the heat go a little higher. "Another?"

"Feels like I turned the heat in the shower up a little. Add two!"

"Alright!" Master Fu shouts and quickly flicks on a few more.

I feel the pressure and temperature increase. "Now it feels like the sun is shining with a few clouds next to the pool. Add another!"

I feel him add two more before it feels like a heatwave.

"Is it too hot?" Master Fu asks.

"Not at all. It still feels really good," I admit. "It would at most feel like a heat wave for a normal person but not really."

"Can you take more?"

"Of course!" I shout. "Put the final 3 on!"

"Really?"

"Yes, I just told you to!" I say and give him a thumbs up.

He hesitantly nods and flicks the final flamethrowers on. "You okay?"

I begin to laugh. "Now it feels like I'm actually being blasted at with 10 flamethrowers. Still though, it feels pretty good. But now I don't feel anything different."

"So it seems you can absorb it. Now, I want you to control the fire from the flamethrowers."

"I can control other fire other than my own?!" I shout.

"Let's find out."

I move my hand to shift the fire, but it doesn't happen. "I can't."

"Focus harder."

I sigh and sit on the ground to gather my thoughts. I want to control this fire. I can do this. I will control you fire. I open my eyes in determination and force the fire to twirl around me. "Yes!"

"Impressive," Master Fu says. "Didn't think you could actually do that."

"R-really?" I fuss. "Are you serious?!"

He chuckles nervously and turns off the flamethrowers while I still play with the remaining fire before swallowing it. "Did you just swallow that?!" Master Fu shouts.

"Oh, wow... That actually tasted really good... like bacon..."

"Are you crazy?!" Master Fu shouts. "You could've killed yourself!"

"I wonder if that's what Natsu tastes when he eats fire..."

"Mirabelle!?"

I'm brought out of my thoughts by Master Fu shouting my name. "W-wha?!"

He sighs. "Let's bring your brother out here to practice flying with you."

"Don't you think it's a little early for him to learn how to fly?" I ask.

"Well, we didn't know that we could until we tested it on you. I think it would be best if you both trained together."

"Yeah, I like that idea," I say with a grin.

"Would you do the honors?"

"Gladly," I say then shout. "WAYZZ! NATHAN! COME OUT HERE!"

They come in shaking their heads.

"Loud mouth," Nathan teases.

"That was the point," I chuckle.

"What are we doing?" Nathan asks.

"We're going to practice flying together," I say.

"R-really?!" he frantically asks.

"I believe it's a skill you both need to learn," Master Fu says. "How did he do at dodging?"

"He couldn't really get it down at first, but he eventually got the hang of it," Wayzz says.

"That's good. Dodging is a key component in crime fighting," I say.

"I want you to teach Nathanael ninjutsu techniques whenever you have time, Mirabelle," Master says.

I salute. "Yes, sir!"

We all chuckle as we begin our flying training and finish our training then go home.
