"He's so confusing." I groaned. All the girls were at Mari's, minus the obvious 3. This morning, was not an easy morning. I woke up all happy, thinking all is good, but no. One day before Christmas Eve and I had to mess something up, whatever I even did because I have not the slightest clue. Maybe its what happened yesterday.

"Well, what even happened?" Alya asked.

"You tell me! I was ignored all morning. Its 1 in the afternoon, we woke up around 8 to get some last minute shopping done, cause I wasnt expecting to come home."

"And..?" Alya said, gesturing me to continue.

"And somehow I mess another relationship up doing something I dont even know I do wrong." I sighed, plopping on the floor.

"Ok, your not exactly making sense. Maybe you should just talk to him?" Mari suggested. The irony.

"She tried. Multiple times. But I wasnt just Lloyd being shady." Nya said. I huffed, she was right. All the boys were ignoring me. "Although I know why."

"Why?" I exclaimed.

"Lloyd was never really around during Garmadon's attacks." She gave me a knowing look. "But in Paris he's around during Akuma attacks. Well, the one we were in yesterday. And hes upset. With what you told us about your fear of Garmadon's attacks, Lloyd's happy he can finally help you through a villain attack. But you go away every time and akuma is spotted or is thought to be spotted." She gave me another knowing looks.

"Well, Y/N has always been out helping. Does he know that?" Mari asked.

"I tried saying that. He just groaned and turned away from me." I huffed. Quite the pickle I'm in. But then our phones dinged.

"Why is Lila texting us?" Alya groaned.

"How did she get my number?" Nya cringed. I didnt bother checking. If it was something important I'd hear about it. I just stared out into space, wondering how I'm gonna get myself out of this one. It's not like Lloyd is going to give out free forgiveness every time I mess us up.

"Uh, Y/N?" I hummed, signaling I was listening to Nya.

"Well, Lila is currently out and about. And just sent a photo. Of her. Kissing Lloyd's cheek." With Alya saying that. I dove for my phone. And well, she definitely wasnt lying.

"THAT LYING BITCH!"

🐺💜🐺

After this mornings mess with Lloyd, and Lilas back stabbing, I am only now just getting out and Christmas shopping. 3:00 and the day before Christmas eve. And surprisingly I was not the only one last minute shopping. Granted it was easy. I knew my friends in Paris better than anything so I just needed to actually find the stuff I wanted to get them. Me being me, stopped in Bath and Body works. And ended up leaving with stuff for me too. As in, the hot coco and cream scented candle and perfume. As well as the spiced apple toddy scent candle.

"You have an addiction." Nya laughed.

"There was a 70% off sale!" I whinned.

"Well, how do you have money? To buy all these candles?"

"Well, I have been working for my parents for years. They had paid me for work in the Cafè I did. And I never needed a car so I didnt have to pay insurance or gas or even the actual vehicle." I explained. She nodded understanding. We opened the door to the Cafè, putting our bags in my closet in my room before leaving again. Just a drop off since we didnt have a car to hold out bags.

"So where to now?" Nya asked.

"I dont know. Your parents are coming later tonight, did you get them something?" I asked. Nya froze in her spot. I laughed, knowing she completely forgot. "Come on, we've got more shopping to do."

"How did I forget my parents! Stupid!" She scolded herself. I just snickered and she continued the rant.

Granted, she was a picky shopper, so we had gone pretty far into the city as she looked into some shops. As much as this wasn't fun for me, it was very amusing. She could shop till she dropped with herself and her friends, but the second it came to her parents she was a stressed mess.

"Stop laughing at me!" She said, slightly punching my shoulder. We had just walked out of another store, and didn't have one bag in our possession.

"Your stressing to much. Why don't you just paint them something. Like a cool paint drip painting with blue and red. For fire and water. And I'll sketch and phoenix and a water dragon for you." I suggested.

"That would be amazing! Thank you!" She said hugging me. She must be so tired from shopping. And frustrated.

But alas, everything good must come to an end. Cause we heard screaming. Great. Who pissed off who.

"Uh, Y/N? Is that-?" I turned around, following Nya's gaze. And yeah. A giant rock and lava Akuma was coming straight for us.

"I will turn you into my minions!" It shouted as it started chasing us.

"We need to put some distance between us! I can't transform if he's following!" I shouted as we kept running.

"Hold on! I'm gonna call the others. They could buy us time!" She quickly pulled out her phone and called her brother. "Kai! -no, don't be all grumpy on me right now! Me and Y/N have a Akuma chasing us trying to turn us into his minions and we can't run forever!"

There was a pause on the phone. I screamed as I dodged a lava blast.

"Fucking hell!" I shouted as I felt my face burning from the heat that just barely missed my head.

"HURRY UP!" Nya shouted before shoving her phone into her pocket. Shit, we went the wrong way! This leads us to a dead end!

"I hope we are closer to them then we think because we're running out of road!" I yelled to her. And I wasn't exaggerating. Couple more yards and we hit the wall.

"So is this what death looks like." She whispered to me.

"Worst case scenario is I transform, but we have to give the others a shot." I said, ready to transform at any point. "If they would hurry up." I got ready as the monster was about to shoot a lava laser beam that would make us minions. But Ice stopped it. Looking up I saw the Ninja. I let out a breath of relief.

"We have to move fast that thing-" Nya didn't have time to finish because the monster was back.

"We'll stop it!" Cole, well, Earth Ninja shouted. He readied his powers.

"Wait!" But it was to late. He sent a boulder to him.

"He's just like an old Akuma Stoneheart. Any blast at him makes him grow." I groaned.

"Oops." Cole said as the Akuma grew bigger.

"Uhhhh. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!" Jay screamed. How did I not see them sooner. The akuma started coming closer. The 5 boys stood infront of us, in a protective stance. Rolling my eyes I pointed out the obvious.

"You won't beat him without someone from the Miraculous League! And we are running out of room to walk away!" I exclaimed.

"What do you suggest we do." Kai snapped. I immediately got to work thinking. Think like LB! Common!

"We need to blind him! So he can't see us!" I said.

"That could work, but our get away plan is not formed!" Zane shouted.

"Leave that to me." I said. They all turned to me, confused.

"Y/N." Nya said, slightly in a warning.

"Blue, shoot lightning behind him. The akuma itself is kinda dumb. It will look to where you shoot your power. White, while he's distracted cover his face with thick ice. He'll melt it but we have some wiggle room." I stated.

"Thats - actually not a bad idea." Zane said.

"Now would be nice!" I exclaimed as the akuma let out a loud shout. And they did just that.

"You two hide in that alley." I grabbed Nya and hid in said alley.

"You're not actually thinking of-"

"Zane was right. Akumas don't exactly have an effect of weakness to your powers. Hawkmoth is going to target them. They won't escape unless I butt in." She nodded.

"It worked!" Me and Nya ran out and saw the angry akuma trying to get the ice off its face.

"Let's go somewhere safe." Lloyd said.

"Where! His minions are everywhere." Nya exclaimed. I knew now was the time. Pushing past the boys, I walked towards the monster.

"Y/N, what are you doing!" Lloyd shouted. The monster seems to not here well, so he shouldn't hear me transform.

"Evening the playing field."

"Whats that supposed to mean?" Cole shouted.

"You can't defeat him, or escape him unless a Miraculous holder comes." I said, facing them. I nodded at Nya.

"Uh-"

"Y/N, are you sure?" Nya asked.

"Well, the akuma will focus on me." And with that said, I started the transformation.

"Longg!" I shouted. "Wings Up!" And I was transformed. The monster won't see well after because of Zane attacking its eyes. So it won't focus to much on how one of us is missing.

"What the hell!" I heard from behind me. Smirking, I turned invisible and got to work. I knew I couldn't hit the monster, so I just had to out smart it. Which would be easy. With my powers, I could create small waves of them. Only the full power was my Miraculous power. So I set off little lightning bolts around him. The akuma was getting pissed off and kept trying to hit where the bolts where. I saw Hawkmoths logo on its face and knew that he was not having it. So I made myself visible and flew in the direction behind my friends - who were still in shock. Minus Nya of course. Seeing what I was expecting, I waved to Ladybug and flew down to her.

"Causing trouble?" Chat said from behind her.

"Well, I can't seem to escape it." I said, flying over from where my friends were, but now I was heading to the akuma. Seeing me, it shot the lava blast at me. Easily dodging the blasts, I became the distraction.

"I'm gonna tie it up, Chat, you and Dragonne get ready to hit it more towards the city." LB said in our ear piece. It had become automatic to add it in since there were so many of us now.

"Don't start the fun without us." Rena teased.

"Whats your eta?" I asked, dodging another blast.

"We won't make it to your location in time. But don't start the main event just yet." She said.

"Carapace, Queen Bee?" LB said.

"Not close enough."

"I just transformed and you guys are on the opposite side of the city."

"Ok, it's settled. You two need to hit it towards the Eiffel Tower."

"What about the civilians?" I asked.

"I'm here evacuating them now. Your all clear. I'm headed back your way." Carapace said.

"Well then. Let's get this thing away from here." I said.

Starting the plan, LB got to work wrapping its legs up. I made myself have bolts around me, catching the monsters attention. Once LB had it zipped up and un able to move, we worked even quicker. Retracting my wings I began the fall in front of the beast. Grabbing my sword, me and Chat leveled with each other before swinging our weapons at it just as Ladybug released her Yo-Yo. And we sent to monster flying. Doing a twist flip before landing - facing the still gob smacked ninja - I stood up from my stance on the ground. Blowing my hair out of my face, I realized how shocked they actually were.

Cole dropped his hammer.

Jay fell to his knees.

Kai rubbed his eyes.

Zane simply said "Makes since."

"I expected you to glow more." Was Nya's response.

And Lloyd. Well, said Green Ninja was in shock. That was actually an understatement.

"You're-"

"Dragonne and Wolf. Yes." I said. Finishing that sentence, the other 3 landed behind us.

"Some party we missed." Rena joked.

"I wouldn't call it a party." Chat exaggerated.

"Well, no akuma is." I reasoned. "Do y'all remember when Hawkmoth Akumatized himself? And we all basically turned evil."

"Lets not speak of that day." Bee huffed.

"Hold up, I wanna get back to you," Cole started. "Being that."

"Well, its not a hard concept." I remarked.

"And you, don't seem surprised." He said again, pointing to Nya.

"Yeah. Because I knew. Although, I've never seen you transform. Not exactly what I was expecting." She said.

"You knew?!" Kai exclaimed.

"Well yeah. She told me back in November." She shrugged.

"Well, as much as I love this conversation. LB, have you found a plan yet." I asked, turning to my teammate.

"On it." She started. "Lucky Charm!"

A damn fork.

"Well, at least this time its sharp. I remember the spoon days." Chat said.

"Hold the phone." Jay started. "You guys, animal people with powers, are planning to defeat that huge evil lava monster, with a fork!"

"Ninja, let me introduce you to Paris. Where we literally defend it with our powers and whatever her powers give us." I said with an unamused face.

"Seriously, Tikki decides a fork?" I said again.

"Trust the process." LB sing-songed.

"Ok, then whats your Ladybug vision giving us to work with exactly." I said, crossing my arms.

She started her look around.

"We still need more time. But there's one thing here we need. And we need to hurry." Giving her a questioning look, she approached me. "We are gonna need both of your Miraculous' today." She whispered.

I knew what she meant. And I also knew her timer wouldn't last long so I had to act fast. Taking off my bracelet, I walked over to Nya. She gave me a look, almost flinching away. Holding out my hand with the Miraculous in it, I gave her a choice.

"Nya Smith. This is the Miraculous of the Wolf. It has the ability to destabilize your opponent. If you agree to use it, you will return it back to me once the mission is complete." I said. She dropped her jaw at me.

"What - like - um - you want me?" She started. "To use that." She pointed to the Miraculous. "To help you defeat an Akuma."

"Yes. We don't have alot of time, so no pressure but you need to make a decision now."

"Ok, I'll do it." She said, taking the Miraculous out of my hand. When she put it on, Growll appeared. Jay screamed again. Kai shouted 'rat'. "Aw, it's your Kamis."

"Kwami." The entire team corrected.

"Right, kwami."

"Now, just say: Growll, Fangs Out!"

"Wait, really quick. There are some side effects to this Miraculous after the first time using it. Even after the fight you'll get a burst of energy." I warned. She nodded, understanding.

"Growll, Fangs Out!" And she transformed. I smiled once she was no longer glowing.

"Uhhh." Kai said, not used to seeing his sister like that.

"Oh no." I heard Jay say, as he hid behind Cole.

"Woah!" She shouted. "Awesome! Whats french for wolf?"

"Wolf." I answered.

"Then thats my temporary name." She said.

"Ok, basic 101 since we really need to get going. Cross your fingers on your left hand and that gives you super speed, lasso is your weapon and can also help with transportation, dont touch your ears because you will feel them and they are sensitive." I said.

"We need to go." LB said as her timer ticked.

"Ready?" I asked Nya. She eagerly nodded, zooming off towards the tower. The rest of the team followed. I shouted 'Wings' and got myself off the ground. Winking at the Ninja, I took off.

Landing at the rock monster, we began the fight.

🐺💜🐺

Once the battle was over, me and Nya had made ourselves comfortable at my house. I had changed into more comfortable clothes. The T.V was on, discussing the recent battle. I wasnt gonna lie, I was a little scared because of the side effects. The others walked into the main room just as I got a bowl out.

"Well, look who decided to come home." I teased. I got my favorite cereal and milk, pouring the cereal in and then the milk. Because thats the right way to do it.

"Yeah, it was definitely a trip." Kai said, motortoned. Ah, still in shock.

"Did you see the battle!" Nya shouted, running next to me. I had leaned against the counter, peacefully starting to eat said cereal.

"Kinda." Cole said.

"It was so awesome! Side note, I feel like I ran all over the city!" She exclaimed. I had just put a spoonful in my mouth when she said that. I stopped, frozen in place. Shit. Side effects are starting.

"Oh really." Jay said. Kinda nervous as Nya bounced on her feet.

"Yup. I guess you could say I fought a monster." Again, just put a spoonful in my mouth when I froze, and slowly turned to her.

"Not that I did. Of course. Hey, I'm suuuuper hungry. Do you have any jello by chance?" She asked. Putting the spoon in my bowl, I pointed to one of the cabinets. She eagerly got a pack, and a spoon, and almost devoured it in seconds. This is kinda amusing.

"Uh, Nya." Cole said. "Are you ok."

"I'm great. How are you!" She said enthusiastically.

"I think you're tired. Exhausted. Come on. To bed." I said, finally butting it. She whinned as I grabbed her by the waist and dragged her to my stairs.

"No I'm not." She pouted. "Hey your super strong. You could be a super hero." I pinched her side for that one. I shoved her in my room once we got up.

"Shhh." I hushed. "Now stay right there as I get you a blanket." I said, going to where we had the blankets stored. Turning around, she was gone. My face fell into a tired, unamused look.

"Shhh, don't tell her we're the Ninjaaaa." I heard her whisper - not so quietly - to the others.

"Nya!" I heard Lloyd whisper. Poking my head down, I was met with some very concerned looks.

"Shes definitely exhausted." Kai said. Lloyd still had his hand over her mouth. But he quickly yanked it away, for what im assuming was Nya licking it.

"Nya." I said sternly. She gave me a bright smile.

"Yes."
