Chapter 6: The Start of The End of The World
"Maybe we have to say the opposite." Annabeth said after a while.
"What?" Percy was leaning over the edge of Marinette's balcony. They just landed on Marinette's roof, and decided that they were gonna figure out everything up there, then walk down and apologize to Marinette and Adrien, who they assumed was downstairs.
"Maybe instead of saying what we said to transform over and over again, we try saying the opposite of that. Like instead of me saying 'Spots on' over and over again, praying for a change, I could say 'Spots off'." And just like that, the transformation wore off to reveal regular Annabeth standing on Marinette's roof, wearing a white dress with small blue spots on it. Tikki flew out of the earrings and into Annabeth's hands. "What are you?"
"I'm Tikki, Marinette's kwami." Tikki said, shaking Annabeth's thumb. "Pleased to finally meet you Annabeth."
"Nice to meet you to." Annabeth said, slightly shell shocked.
Tikki turned to Percy. "Say 'Claws in' to detransform. But I'm just warning you, Plagg is gonna be a grumpy when he comes out, so we should get downstairs to Marinette's room ASAP so he can eat."
"Claws in." Percy said as he detransformed, revealing a blue dress shirt with blue jeans as a small black cat flew out of the ring.
"I. Need. Cheese." Plagg complained, rubbing his stomach.
"You're the voice that told me to say those words!" Percy almost yelled as Tikki came up and slapped Plagg upside the head.
"Plagg!" The little kwami yelled in Plagg's ear.
"Calm down Tikki!" Plagg yelled back. "I was just having a little fun!"
"A LITTLE? YOU ALMOST ENDANGERED PARIS BECAUSE YOU TRICKED HIM INTO SAYING CLAWS OUT! AT LEAST ANNABETH SAID IT ON ACCIDENT! YOU FLAT OUT TOLD PERCY TO SAY IT! DO YOU REALIZE THAT PARIS COULD'VE BEEN DESTROYED AND WITHOUT THE PROPER WEAPONS, ANNABETH AND PERCY COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!? THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO USE MARINETTE AND ADRIEN'S MIRACULOUSES BECAUSE THEY'RE TWO OF THE SEVEN OF THE PROPHECY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! YOU HAVE CAUSED MORE TROUBLE THAN YOU HAVE IN THE PAST 3,000 YEARS I'VE KNOWN YOU! IF MASTER FU FOUND OUT, YOU COULD BE SUSPENDED! AND LADYBUG CAN BARLEY SURVIVE WITHOUT CHAT NOIR WHEN HE GETS TAKEN OVER BY THE AKUMA! HOW DO YOU THINK LADYBUG WOULD SURVIVE WITHOUT A PARTNER AT ALL! OR THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, BOTH OF US GOT SUSPENDED AND PARIS WOULDN'T BE DEFENDED FROM HAWK MOTH OR AKUMA ATTACKS! DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH TROUBLE WE COULD BE IN PLAGG!?"
"Dang Tikki." A voice said behind Annabeth, Percy, Plagg (who was trying to hide in Percy's sleeve), and Tikki. "In the year I've known you, I've never seen you have an outburst, especially like that!"
"Plagg," Said another voice. "You are not getting any camembert for a week. Only cheddar and mozzarella for you!"
Percy and Annabeth turned around to see Marinette and Adrien poking their heads up from the trap door that was connected to Marinette's bedroom.
The four teenagers looked at each other. And at the exact same time, all four said "You two have a lot of explaining to do."
A couple moments before...
"Come on Piper, just answer the question!" Adrien complained, examining the board of evidence that proved that Annabeth and Percy were the Annabeth and Percy from the books.
"No Adrien. Percy and Annabeth are my friends. I'm not going to sell them out like that." Piper said as Adrien plopped down in a chair.
"Why not?"
"Look, Percy and Annabeth have been through more than what kids our age should be through." Piper said, sighing. "I'm not going to say anything against them, mainly because I'm the same way."
"I'm just looking for conformation."
"What? That they're demigods?" Piper asked. "They're the same as me. And yes, I did find out who my mother is, thanks for asking."
"Piper, I'm-"
"Nope. Save it. Goodbye Adrien. If you want to figure this out so badly, why don't you ask them yourself." And with that Piper hung up. Adrien hit his head against a wall.
"Hey," Marinette asked, walking up behind Adrien. "Are you okay? That sounded like quite the argument."
Adrien nodded, then heard voices above them. "Do you hear that?"
"No, what?" Then a high pitched voice started yelling. "Wait, now I hear it."
The two snuck up and opened the trap door and heard an argument going on. "-AND LADYBUG CAN BARLEY SURVIVE WITHOUT CHAT NOIR WHEN HE GETS TAKEN OVER BY THE AKUMA! HOW DO YOU THINK LADYBUG WOULD SURVIVE WITHOUT A PARTNER AT ALL! OR THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, BOTH OF US GOT SUSPENDED AND PARIS WOULDN'T BE DEFENDED FROM HAWK MOTH OR AKUMA ATTACKS! DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH TROUBLE WE COULD BE IN PLAGG!?"
"Dang Tikki." Marinette said, making Percy and Annabeth freeze. "In the year I've known you, I've never seen you have an outburst, especially like that!"
"Plagg," Adrien said, all serious. "You are not getting any camembert for a week. Only cheddar and mozzarella for you!"
Percy and Annabeth turned around and just stared at Adrien and Marinette, afraid of what the two superheroes would say to them about taking their Miraculouses.
After a good two minutes of silence, the four teens said at the exact same time "You two have a lot of explaining to do. What do we have to explain?"
"Why you guys took our Miraculouses!" Adrien and Marinette yelled.
"Why you guys even have Miraculouses!" Percy and Annabeth yelled.
"Are you two demigods?" Adrien asked.
"What?" Annabeth asked.
"Percy, I found that book series that you wrote about your adventures with Annabeth."
Annabeth slowly turned towards Percy. "You WHAT!? HOW COULD YOU DO THAT PERCY! I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT YOU WERE A SEAWEED BRAIN, BUT THIS IS THE SEAWEED BRAINIEST THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE IN THE FIVE YEARS I'VE KNOWN YOU! DID YOU ALSO RECORD OUR ADVENTURES ON THE ARGO II? OUR ADVENTURES WITH THE KANES? MY COUSIN MAGNUS? SERIOUSLY PERCY, COULDN'T YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING A LITTLE LESS REALISTIC!?"
Percy sighed. "Good going Agreste. You just landed me in the dog house."
"I'm sorry that I got curious." Adrien said, shrugging.
"To answer your question, we are them." Percy said, shifting away from Annabeth. "Now, about how you guys have Miraculouses?"
Marinette looked around. "You guys may want to come down. We don't want innocents hearing us."
"Innocents?" Annabeth asked. "I'm so used to just calling mortals."
"Hey, offensive." Adrien said as he noticed a brightly colored figure came rushing towards them. "Everyone in the room. Now!" Percy and Annabeth turned around to see the figure coming towards them. They jumped in, along with Tikki and Plagg, and closed the door.
"I'm pulling up the news feed." Marinette said, turning the volume up on her computer.
"Past akumatized victims are taking over Paris." Said the announcer. "People are advised to stay inside until the situation gets under control."
"What's going on?" Marinette asked. "We cleansed all of them. You don't think-"
"I know he did." Adrien asked. "Um, could we have our Miraculouses back?"
"Oh, right." Annabeth said, taking off the earrings and handing them to Marinette as Percy took off the ring and gave it to Adrien.
"How are we gonna save Paris. This is the start of the end of the world!" Marinette complained, putting on the earrings.
"Well, we could call in some backup." Annabeth said, getting out her phone.
"Who?"
"Our friends and family. I'm texting Carter and Sadie right now, then I'm gonna call Magnus."
"How is Magnus gonna help?" Percy asked.
"He's more like us than you think." Annabeth said, sending the text to Carter and Sadie.
"What do you mean?"
"He's a demigod to. He's the son of Frey, a Norse god. He's not the most warlike, but his friends are. They'll help us." Annabeth said, holding her phone to her ears.
"Should we call Master Fu?" Adrien asked.
Marinette nodded. "I have him on speed dial."
This is where things started going downhill for our young heroes, because at this point, they realized that they were fighting a losing battle. They would try their best, but they knew with absolute certainty that they would lose.
