//Thought I could start writing up the episode where someone gets the Fox Miraculous -claps happily- Hooray~ Plus, an episode where it's CHLOE making a new friend (Ya'll totally thought it was Izuku, didn't you? XD). Anyways here we go with the story~
This post will include: A new Fox Holder, Nice(?)!Chloe, Chloe Sugar, OOCness from some characters other than Chloe, The "Chloe is trying the nice card to impress Izuku" train, Cheeky!Adrien, Adrien being a little shit, BAMF!ILadybug!zuku
Chloe didn't think she would be invited to the art room of all places.
Apparently her friends wanted her to join in preparation for some art competition that was going on this week, and the art teacher encouraged the students to showcase any artistic passions.
Izuku was invited too, and Chloe couldn't say no to that.
She was about to meet up with them but spotted someone under the staircase.
It was a boy? Girl? Chloe couldn't tell, but they seemed way too pretty.
Not as pretty as her of course.
Curiosity got the best of her and the rich blonde snuck behind them.
They seemed to be writing something.
She blinked when she saw the other person's phone screen.
Drawings of Tirumushi and Feline Noire on the TealBlog.
"Are you a fan or something?"
The person jumped in shock and whirled around to face Chloe shakily, paling as they dropped their notebook to the ground.
Not waiting for an answer, Chloe picked up the notebook and took a look at the notes. She blinked when she saw what was written on the pages and spoke out loud.
"Diary of Tīrumushi?" She pursed her lips and continued, "I saw the Might-Illustrator today. Now that he's no longer controlled by. Hawkmoth, he's become true superhero like Feline Noire and I."
'Might-Illustrator? Oh, right, that's Nath's character from his comic about the Bug and me...'
"I'm sure he'd make an awesome partner, but I'm too shy to ask him," Chloe made a face, raising a hand without looking to hold the owner of the notebook back while still reading, "And I don't want to talk to Feline Noire about it either because…SHE MIGHT GET JEALOUS?!"
Chloe felt herself ticked off for a moment, and even smacked her purse lightly since she could hear Plagg snickering.
The notebook gets snatched away from her hands as Adrien appeared with a smile.
"You and Marc seem to be having fun~"
"The owner of this notebook and who's currently crying in a fetal position right now?"
The two look over seeing Marc Anciel whimpering and sobbing while begging for their book back.
Adrien gives it back to Marc and asks what was going on, and Chloe explains.
"Oh! You're writing a story about Tirumushi and Feline Noire based on Nathaniel's comic on the school website?" Adrien hums before snapping his fingers, "Why don't we show to Nathaniel~?"
Cue Adrien dragging both Chloe and Marc into the art room.
Izuku and Nathaniel were found chatting away about superheroes, especially about All Might.
"Nath! Chloe found you a writer for your comic!"
The red head looked up from his fanboying with a confused look, tilting his head, "...Chloe did?"
Adrien nodded as he nudged Marc forward and grinned, "This is Marc Anciel. They've been creative writing apparently from the fanart you've been doing for the school website and the TealBlog~"
Marc blushed as they hid their notebook in their jacket, looking away with embarrassment, "E-er, sorry, um, nice to meet you? B-But I didn't want to disturb anyone...."
Izuku spoke up this time with a warm smile, "You're not disturbing anyone! Actually, this art room is open to everyone~"
And he soon points out what everyone's doing:
Marinette was currently drawing up different style of hats for Gabriel Agreste's upcoming fashion show.
Alix was spray-painting the wall with some graffiti art with Sabrina assisting her.
Kagami was invited to Françoise Dupont as a guest as she was sketching up some drawings of Izuku, who was supposed to be her model for the day.
Even Alya and Nino were making a college together of Tirumushi and Feline Noire for the TealBlog.
"He likes to draw people in skinny suits~" Alix teased, interrupting Izuku then laughs when Izuku playfully threw one of Nathaniel's crumbled paper balls at her.
Nathaniel shook his head before looking over at Marc and smiling kindly, "Welcome, Marc. As you can tell, we're pretty much all friends here. This is the place were you can totally express yourself and we don't judge. We joke in all good fun too..."
"Especially when someone keeps making drawings of Tirumushi~" Adrien says in a sing-song voice, laughing when a red-faced Nathaniel punches his arm, "Ow! What~? It's true! You're the one that has the biggest crush on the bug hero!"
"Shut it, Agreste!" Nathaniel squeaked out with a pout, "Besides, Marinette's the one who's the president of the Tirumushi club!"
(Izuku quietly groans and places his hands over his face while they talked, especially when he hears Marinette squeaking and stuttering an explanation that she just sees Tirumushi as an inspiration, not as a crush and she didn't have an active imagination about him—)
"Yeah, yeah. I mean after all, Izuku was your bi-awakening first~"
Izuku groaned even louder at Adrien's words, not noticing that Marc wasn't listening and was instead drawn to Nathaniel's sketches.
"Wow," Marc murmured as their eyes scanned the pages, "I-I saw these drawings online but they're nothing compared to the real thing! The movements, the expressions, the attitudes~ They're all so..."
Nathaniel paused from straggling reprimanding Adrien and looked over at Marc's words, his face showing surprise before smiling softly, "Thanks. T-that's nice..."
Marc stared in awe for just a moment, before jumping back with nervousness.
"W-well it's true. I, um, I-I've never seen d-drawings so...so..."
"Yoohoo~ I've arrived everyone~"
Chloe instantly is at Izuku's side with a growl as Lila steps into the room.
Lila reads the room for a second before she smiles and introduces herself to Marc.
"You want to be a writer~? Ohh, did you know I was taught in calligraphy by a famous scholar from Japan~?"
Izuku tunes this out and turns back to Kagami, who looks like she wants to say something, but Izuku stops her.
Adrien tries to intervene by changing subject.
"Anyways! Marc, you'd be perfect to be Nath's writer for his comic on Tirumushi and Feline Noire—"
"Oh?" Lila interrupts with a sweet smile before scooting to Nathaniel with big eyes, "You're writing a comic about Tirumushi? Who better to help you with that than me~? Tirumushi's closest friend~?"
Nathaniel looks interested for a moment, but he still had a wry look, "For real?"
"Of course~ Perhaps I can even help you with any information you need about the superhero~"
Marc, feeling like they didn't belong in the conversation anymore, quietly leaves.
Chloe runs after them. She has an idea to get Lila off Nathaniel's case and get Marc instead.
And so, like in the Reverser Episode, Chloe is the one who plans the whole thing.
Adrien also joins in, even making a suggestion of leaving Marc's notebook for Nathaniel to find and erase Marc's name off of it.
"If he likes the story in the book, at least it would give you confidence to be Nath's writer, Marc~" - Adrien.
"And if he doesn't, we just won't say anything." - Chloe.
And so, the trio lay the trap.
Adrien is the one delivering the notebook to Nath (He thinks it wouldn't be believable if Chloe does it).
Adrien slips the notebook to Nathaniel with a grin and a wink.
"Someone wanted to leave this to you. Read it, and get back to me later~"
Nathaniel raised a brow as he watched Adrien for a moment, before he looked down at the notebook and his eyes widened.
And...this is where things go south real quick.
Lila notices this and quickly goes to Nathaniel, already spinning a tale while talking sweetly as if they were best friends.
"You think the notebook is from...Tīrumushi?" Nathaniel would ask, while Lila nodded with a thoughtful hum.
"I was wondering where his diary went. He did tell me that he had lost it a week ago, he must've accidentally left it here in school. This is good~! If you give it back to him, then that means you'll get to meet him for real and you can ask if you can make a comic about him~ I'm sure he'd feel honored~"
Nathaniel takes this misunderstanding and gets excited.
Oblivious to what happened, Adrien sets up the meeting for the red head to meet the mystery writer of the notebook.
"The writer wants to meet you at the park after school~"
"...This isn't some sort of prank, is it, Adrien?"
"Trust me, the person who wrote this is dying to meet you~ You won't be disappoint~"
"T-this is a dream come true!"
After school, Izuku notices Adrien and Chloe hiding behind some bushes while Nathaniel was shyly walking towards the park with a notebook.
"What are you two up to?"
Adrien and Chloe jumped when Izuku appeared behind them, arms crossed and giving a stern look that both the blondes recognise he got from his mother. And an angry Inko Midoriya wasn't one that the two would ever want to see in life again.
"W-well, we were..." Chloe started, sweating a little before Adrien interrupted to save the day.
"We are setting up Nath and Marc to be the ultimate comic making team!" He explained while sweating, "Nothing nefarious whatsoever!"
"Uh-huh..." Izuku then looked up to see Nathaniel approaching the hooded figure sitting on the edge of the fountain in the park.
Why did he have a bad feeling in his stomach?
Izuku felt himself facepalm while Adrien paled and Chloe cursed. Marc moved their hood to show their face. Nathaniel looked shocked, then looked towards the bush, the shock turning to anger.
Adrien gulped, "Oh shit, he looks pissed."
Nathaniel goes off like in canon, even when Izuku rushed over to calm the red head down, Marc already crying.
Nathaniel rips the notebook and leaves, Adrien trying to follow and explain everything.
And...Marc gets akumatized and becomes Reverser.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT CHLOE BOURGEOIS!"
Izuku pulls Chloe away and goes to hide, being chased after Reverser.
Once they are hidden, Reverser goes for their next target...Adrien Agreste.
Izuku needed to stop Marc, so he hid Chloe in the lockers with strings of apologies.
"I'll be back okay? I'm gonna get some help"
Once Chloe knew Izuku was gone, she transformed into Feline Noire and went to track down Reverser herself.
Transforming into Tirumushi, he tracked Reverser turning everyone into...well, opposites of themselves.
Reverser sees the Ladybug hero and smirks.
And...instead of being a smart and quick superhero
Tirumushi groans he tripped over his yo-yo when trying to swing his weapon to capture Reverser, and feeling even more frustrated when he tried again...only for his yo-yo to hit his head hard.
"HA HA HA! Looks like the bug is nothing but a pathetic klutz~" Reverser would mock, then smirked, "Now to find those rich brats that ruined my chances with Nathaniel!"
Feline Noire appears in time, but it doesn't last long until she notices her partner entangled with his yo-yo.
Boom. She gets hit by Reverser.
"Instead of a cool cat, why don't you become a crybaby instead~?"
Reverser leaves them to find Adrien, and Tirumishi feels a headache coming on.
There was no way he and Feline Noire could do this alone. Not in their condition at least.
The Ladybug wielder decided to make a call.
Meanwhile, Adrien and Nathaniel talk.
Adrien let out a frustrated breath with a frown, "Nath, she doesn't know anything! If anything, I suggest you stop listening to her."
"...I guess I jumped the gun a bit, huh?" Nathaniel said sheepishly but then sighed, "I-I should've asked you and Chloe properly about who wrote it instead of assuming and getting my hopes up. I mean, I doubt that Tirumushi would actually want to meet me. O-Or write a diary and stupidly leave it lying around somewhere."
Adrien patted the red head's shoulder, "Nah, I guess I should've told you Marc was the one that wrote it and that they really wanted to work with you with the comic you were planning. Marc felt nervous that you wouldn't like his writing. They were inspired by you, Nath."
Nathaniel felt crummy with that, "Aw man..."
Suddenly, the two jumped when hearing a maniacal laugh and looked up to see Reverser, who was flying down and snatching Adrien up into the air, then flew away with the model.
Master Fu sighed when he found Tirumushi holding a passed out Feline Noire in his arms.
"...What happened with your partner?"
"She...kinda cried herself to sleep?"
Tirumushi had to try and comfort the crying cat girl in his arms while waiting for Master Fu to come.
Apparently she felt so guilty of being a bad partner and a bad person in general, and Tirumushi thought she was gonna confess who she was under the mask. (Okay, yeah, he was feeling his heart pound at the thought of FINALLY knowing who his partner was)
But she fell asleep, tired from all the crying.
"Damn it." He really thought he was gonna know her identity.
"Why is she so cute though when crying and pouting? There's definitely something wrong with me."
Master Fu suggested that he will go find a hero to help break the akuma's spell over Tirumushi and Feline Noire so the two could cleanse the akuma and bring everything back to normal.
And so...Tirumushi ended up hiding out in the Lourve with the sleeping Feline Noire in his arms...his mind screaming and hoping Master Fu was gonna end up finding a good candidate with a good Miraculous.
Nathaniel stopped his running to chase after Reverser on his glider and taking Adrien to the Eiffel tower and looked to the source of the voice calling to him. The red head looked down to an old man in some sort of green ninja armoured costume and a conical shaped hat. The man smiled sagely as he held what seems to be a small jewellery box.
"Tirumushi has asked me to give this to you, for he and Feline Noire are in need of help to take down Reverser."
His stomach dropped for a moment when the box was pushed into his hands, and the artist looked at the box in awe. Something about this box seemed suspicious. Nathaniel wanted to say something, but when he looked back up, the strange old man was gone.
Frowning, Nathaniel opened the box and his eyes widened when a glowing light appeared before him. And...a floating fox appeared.
"Greetings my holder~ I am Trixx, and I'm your Kwami~!"
Nathaniel is soon given an explanation of who Trixx was and what to do; that he needed to be a hero alongside Tirumishi and Feline Noire for this particular mission.
Normally, Nathaniel would be jumping for joy in actually fighting alongside his heroes.
But he knew that he was the cause of today's events. It was his fault that Marc became Reverser.
"I don't deserve to be a hero, Trixx."
"Then don't you think being one and saving that person is the right to do and make up for your mistake?"
Nathaniel placed the necklace on and transformed.
Thus, Rubis Renard was born. (French: Ruby Fox)
Rubis Renard managed to track where Tirumishi and Feline Noire were and introduced himself.
Tirumushi couldn't place who this fox was at first.
That was until the Fox revealed that he wanted to fix the mess that he made and it immediately clicked in his head.
Together, the three (somehow) managed to get to the Eiffel Tower where Reverser and Adrien were.
"YOU DRIVE LIKE A MANIAC!" "I-I was driving below the speed!"
Tirumushi had to hold his partner's hand while walking, being guided by the Fox Hero (and embarrassingly so, since the Ladybug Hero kept TRIPPING over air out of all things!).
"What should we do?" Rubis Renard asked as he looked over at the two heroes with a frown, "Considering that Reverser just reversion'd the Mayor into shooting garbage rockets from space down back to earth, we gotta think fast to stop him and save Adrien Agreste!"
Tirumushi summoned his Lucky Charm.
...which dropped onto his head before Rubis Renard caught it before it hit the ground.
Feline Noire whined and the waterworks were on again while shaking, "We're doooooomed! What a-are we s-supposed to do with those?!"
Tirumushi pursed his lips before turning to her and touched her cheek gently, "There, there, Neko-chan. Don't be scared. We can do this. Plus, Rubis Renard is here to help us too."
After she was reassured, Tirumushi looked around to figure out how to use his Lucky Charm. Seeing his vision laser focus on the Fox Hero along with his Lucky Charm, a cone, his yo-yo and Feline Noire's belt and the blanket she was carrying, he smiled.
"I think I have an idea. Renard, I think I'm gonna have to ask you make an llusion of Nathaniel Kurtzberg and Chloe Bourgeois."
Thus, Tirumushi uses the cone to call for Reverser. To exchange Adrien to them and reverse the Mayor back so he could stop the oncoming garbage in space from falling over Paris, and in return, Tirumushi will surrender his and Feline Noire's Miraculous along with Nathaniel and Chloe.
"What heartless heroes you are. Very well~ But only if Feline Noire accompanies Nathaniel and Chloe Bourgeois up to me~"
As the "trio" entered the elevator and up to where Reverser was, it was soon revealed that a blindfolded Feline Noire rushed out of the elevator and jumps off while riding a kite made from her blanket and the bamboo sticks from the lucky charm.
Tirumishi reaches to grab the yo-yo string attached to it to steer the kite Feline Norie was attached to, and almost dropped it if not for Rubis Renard grabbing for it and guiding the kite instead.
Flying towards Reverser, Feline Noire Cataclysm'd the paper hoverboard, and Renard pulled at the kite, detaching the heroine from it while falling.
Working quickly, the Fox and Ladybug soon shouted "MIRACULOUS TIRUMISHI!" and managed to put things to normal.
Feline Noire blinked as she was back to normal self, even coolly using her bo-staff to extend and caught Marc from falling to their doom.
Getting his bearings, Tirumushi immediately captured the akuma and worked his magic.
"Bye, bye little butterfly~"
Tirumushi suggested for Feline Noire to take Marc home while he guided Rubis Renard home.
Tirumushi looked over to Feline Noire, who looked upset for a moment, almost betrayed.
"Do you know this hero?" She asked, and Tirumushi sighed.
"Not exactly. The Guardian chose him to help us out today."
"I will explain it another day, Feline," He walked up to her and took her hand gently, squeezing it with a determined look, "You will meet the Master one of these days with me, I promise."
Nodding, Feline Noire grabbed Marc and jumped off to take the writer home.
Tirumushi nodded his head to the side, signalling for the Fox to follow him and the two ended up hiding out in an alleyway. Once they made sure that they were alone and no one can see them, Rubis Renard closed his yes.
Nathaniel sighed as he took off the necklace and held it out to Tirumushi, looking at the hero in shame and embarrassment.
"T-Trixx told me that I should return them to you when the mission is done but...t-this wasn't how I wanted to meet you, Tirumushi..."
"Yeah, I sorta got the gist of the story from some civilians that was with you and that akuma victim," The Ladybug holder stated in seriousness, then softened as he looked to the red head, "But I do thank you for the help today. At least I know to find an ally should I need one again."
Nathaniel shook his head, "I'm not worthy of being a hero, Tirumushi. I mean, it was my fault in the first place that caused that akumatization towards Marc."
"I dunno, I mean with those drawings you made of me and Feline Noire, I am pretty sure you'd have a better understanding of heroes more than anyone I know," Tirumushi said with a smile, even looking sympathetic when Nathaniel looked mortified, "Hey, I'm totally in the know for online stuff, especailly the TealBlog~"
Either way, he assured Nathaniel that he was good enough, and that perhaps if there was a day he needed Rubis Renard again, Tirumushi was sure to find him.
And then...Nathaniel confessed.
"...Didn't you like that other boy you kidnapped that one time as Evillustrator?"
Needless to say, Tirumushi had to let Nathaniel down gently.
"I'm a hero. I can't put anyone in danger, I'm sorry."
And Nathaniel understood, albeit heartbroken once again.
The next day, Izuku read Alya's blog of yesterday's events on his tablet.
It was then he noticed a new update.
A comic called "Miraculous: Tales of Tīrumushi & Feline Noire"
Smiling, he saw it was created by Nathaniel and Marc, and started to read.
Tikki peeked out for a moment to see as well, smiling, "Wow, you really have inspired people, Izuku!"
"Yeah..." Izuku chuckled as he kept on reading, then snorted when he saw the dedication to Adrien and Chloe, the two nosy blondes.
"All's well that ends well~" Izuku chirps as he kept on reading.
Izuku asks Master Fu why he chose Nathaniel for the Fox.
Master Fu explains that he saw Nathaniel as 'someone imaginative and quick on their feet, like a fox would be'
Izuku notifies Fu that he will tell Feline Noire about Fu being the guardian and that they have to meet.
Master Fu reluctantly agrees, but asks to give him some time.
"Speaking of choosing allies to work with you and Feline Noire, what do you think of that boy that loves to swim as a candidate?" Fu asks, tapping his chin, "He would be perfect for the Monkey..."
Izuku makes a face and then shakes his head, "Never, never, never!"
