Chapter 12 - Welcome to Paris, Ali

"Welcome. If you are tuning in, Ladybug and Cat Noir have stopped the Magician of Misfortune from making the Eiffel Tower vanish in a puff of smoke." Nadja said as it showed Magician of Misfortune being manhandled as he was thrown in the van as it drove off

"In other news, Prince Ali has arrived in Paris for his trip to the children's hospital, let's hope Hawk Moth doesn't akumatized anyone today." Nadja said

Ladybug disappeared into the subway tunnel where Marinette appeared on the other side where she was walking up the stairs out of the subway station

"(Man I hate people who use magic.)" Marinette thought then she heard a sneeze coming from her purse which made her open her purse where she saw Tikki shaking

"Fuck, I have to take you to Master Fu so he can heal you up." Marinette said as she started jogging to Master Fu's

"Don't you have to pick Bridgette up, today?" Tikki asked weakly

"That can wait, your health can't." Marinette said

"Marinette your cousin is counting on you." Tikki said weakly which made Marinette stop jogging

"You sure you will be fine, for an hour?" Marinette asked which Tikki gave out a weakly yes

"Okay, but sneeze twice if it gets bad." Marinette said as headed to Francoise Dupont where she leaned against the wall and waited for Bridgette to leave

5 minutes later the students started exiting the school building

Bridgette walked out and that's when she saw Marinette leaning against the wall while looking at her phone so she walked over

"Hey Mari." Bridgette said which made Marinette put her phone away in her purse then she looked at Bridgette without closing her purse

"Want to visit Prince Ali today?" Marinette asked

"How are you going to visit him when he's going to the children's hospital today?" Bridgette asked

The two girls started to walk down the stairs

"He's going to the Bourgeois hotel first." Marinette said which made Bridgette stop walking which Marinette did not notice as she kept walking not knowing she was going to trip on bags that were on the stairs

"Marinette watch out." Bridgette said, but it was too late as Marinette tripped up on the bags which made her trip which sent her flying and also Tikki as she landed on the curb just as the Bourgeois limo and Chloe and Sabrina walking up

"What does Ali have scheduled, Sabrina?" Chloe asked

"He's going to visit the Children's hospital today." Sabrina said then Chloe saw Tikki on the ground

"What's this?" Chloe asked as she picked it up which Marinette saw

"Someone lost a stuff toy?" Chloe asked then she put in her purse as she entered her limo

"I'm sure Prince Ali will forget about those poor, sick, stupid children at a hospital that needs to be torn down." Chloe said which made Marinette glare at her for what she said about the hospital

"(Corruption has infected the young it seems in Paris.)" Marinette thought then she saw what appears to be a young girl running up to the limo's window and Marinette could feel the sickness coming from the young girl

"(Must have had treatment for cancer or still doing treatment for cancer or something.)" Marinette thought then she saw Chloe tear up the envelope the girl gave to Chloe

"(3rd Akuma caused by Chloe.)" Marinette thought then Bridgette stood next to her as they watched Rose run away in tears

"Poor Rose, getting humiliated like that just because she wanted to give a letter to Prince Ali." Bridgette said

"I'm getting worried about this, Bridgette." Marinette said

"What do you mean?" Bridgette asked

"This has to be the 4th person to be akumatized from this school alone." Marinette said

"Don't you mean the 5th person akumatized from this school." Bridgette said which made Marinette look at her

"What do you mean 5th person akumatized. I know the big kid got akumatized twice." Marinette said

"Did you forget Aurore goes to this school as well." Bridgette said

"No I did not." Marinette said

"Chloe had caused 3 of my friends to get akumatized in my class alone." Bridgette said which made Marinette think

"(Possible helper of Hawk Moth. Wonder if the mayor is also helping Hawk Moth as well since he's barely helping Ladybug and Cat Noir with any resources to find him.)" Marinette thought then she remembered that Chloe has Tikki

"Do you still want to see Prince Ali today?" Marinette asked

"No thanks. I might want to stay home where it's safe." Bridgette said as she headed to the bakery while Marinette made a run to the hotel

When Marinette arrived at the hotel she saw a clear plot of land on the other side of the street which made her smile

"(A rival 5 star hotel just across the street from this hotel will bring in more rich celebrities than this one.)" Marinette thought as she walked up to the door but the doorman blocked her

"You can't enter." Doorman said

"And the reason is?" Marinette asked

"Only the rich and powerful can enter and also Chloe's friends." The doorman said which made Marinette smile since she was rich and powerful

"Well then you're in luck, I own a company here in Paris as you can see the MDC logo on top of the company." Marinette said as she pointed at the logo which made the Doorman scoff

"I heard that one before from people just like you walk up and say they are the owner of the MDC building." The doorman said which Marinette glare

"(Just for your disrespect, this hotel deserves to go out of business once my hotel is built.)" Marinette thought as she brought her phone and called her assistant

"I found a perfect plot of land to build the luxurious 5 star hotel. Send the builders." Marinette said in the ear shot of the doorman as she hung up

"As you can see I am rich and powerful since a new hotel is going to be built just across the street." Marinette said

"I don't believe you." Doorman said then 5 trucks with the MDC logo appeared as they built a large closed off fence that surrounded the plot

"You were saying." Marinette said

"Fine you can come in." The doorman said as he moved out of the way which made Marinette walk by

"Oh yeah, once my hotel is up and running you might need to look for a new job in the future. I'm pretty sure this hotel will lose money once the guests hear about the commodities in the hotel." Marinette said which made the doorman gulp as he looked at the construction zone that was being built

"(It will take years for the new hotel to be built. So I should be fine in the meantime right. It's not like these guys have already laid the foundation down or something.)" The doorman thought as he continued watching the construction

Marinette walked into the elevator where she closed her eyes and focused on Tikki's magic energy and that made her press the presidential suite button then she opened her eyes

"(My hotel will have two entrances, one for the normal folks and the other for the celebrities and the rich so their fans won't be hounding them for selfies and or signatures. And I'm sure Uncle Jagged would appreciate a bath just for Fang.)" Marinette thought as the elevator arrived to the floor where she got off and followed Tikki's magic energy and that's when she saw Tikki in Chloe's hand practicing her speech

"(I'm not going to let her give Ali, Tikki.)" Marinette thought as she hid behind the wall and watched as Chloe entered the elevator and it went down so Marinette went down the stairs as she followed Tikki's magic energy to the dining room area where she saw the press, Prince Ali with his assistant, Mayor Bourgeois and Chloe who handed Tikki over to him

"(Shit, now I need to wait until I can get Tikki back.)" Marinette thought then Trixx appeared from her ponytail

"Were you hiding in my hair this whole time?" Marinette asked

"You still have my Miraculous." Trixx said as she pointed at the necklace Marinette was wearing which made Marinette smile

"Since Tikki's sick and with Prince Ali what do you say we will be temporary partners when an Akuma arrives?" Marinette asked

"And until you also get Tikki back as well." Trixx said

"Of course." Marinette said as she looked over the wall where she saw people moving away from Chloe due to her being stinky then the press bowed down as an akumatized villain walked in

"Seems like an active Akuma." Marinette said

"You know the words." Trixx said which made Marinette smile

"Let's Pounce." Marinette said as she transformed into a ninja style outfit

"I am Huxian." Huxian said as she jumped over the wall and stood in front of the akumatized villain

"Who are you?" Princess Fragrance asked

"I am Huxian, and I'm going to defeat you." Huxian said which made Princess Fragrance laugh

"You think you can defeat me, newbie." Princess Fragrance said

"I'm not a newbie." Huxian said as she did her Ladybug bat glare which made the crowd and Princess Fragrance gasp

"Ladybug." Princess Fragrance said

"You got that right." Huxian said

"Seems like King Hawk Moth will be getting two Miraculous today when I defeat you." Princess Fragrance said

"You can try but you should know what they say about foxes." Huxian said

"And what would that be?" Princess Fragrance said

"Never trust a fox." Huxian said as she went to the confetti Cannon and pressed the red button which filled the room with confetti blinding Princess Fragrance while Huxian used the distraction to get the crows who ain't brainwashed out

"Quickly now, before she recovers." Huxian said as everyone ran out

"(Stay safe Tikki.)" Huxian said as she watches Prince Ali disappear with the others then she closed the door where she twisted the handles so Princess Fragrance doesn't follow them

"I'm going to make you my personal slave when I defeat you but my Prince awaits." Princess Fragrance said as she went through another door

"Fuck." Huxian said as she ran after her

Prince Ali and the others arrived to another room where they hid then they heard Princess Fragrance voice outside the room

"Oh Prince Ali, your Princess is here." Princess Fragrance said as she spray her perfume towards the door where it slipped under

"We are trapped what are we going to do?" Ali's assistant asked

"I'm sure Ladybug has a plan to get rid of this." Chloe said and that's when the saw the perfume disappearing back under the door which made Andre peak out and that's when he saw Huxian and Princess Fragrance fighting

"Quickly everyone while Ladybug has the Akuma distracted." Andre said as he kept the door open so everyone can escape then he followed behind them

"You are getting on my last nerves, bug." Princess Fragrance said

"I'm more of a fox than a bug." Huxian said then Princess Fragrance turned around and saw the door open and that's when she saw Andre going into the stairwell

"I am going to cover this entire floor in perfume, I'm sure there's people on this floor I can turn into mindless slaves." Princess Fragrance said as as she started to release a lot of perfume which Huxian saw so she quickly lept into the service elevator which took her down into the kitchen where she saw Cat Noir helping them escape

"(Good job, Cat. Take them out of here.)" Huxian said then Princess Fragrance entered the room just as Cat Noir lept out of the window and onto the car which made Princess Fragrance run to the window where she saw the limo driving off

Oh, my Prince. You are making me love you even more. Princess Fragrance said as she used her perfume as a jetpack which also made Huxian to leap out the window and follow behind quickly

When Huxian arrived, she saw she was too late as there was a massive pile-up of cars, so she dropped down and saw Tikki on the floor, where she picked her up

"Oh, Tikki." Huxian said

"You need to transform." Tikki said weakly

"Not when you are like this." Huxian said as she put Tikki in her outfit's pocket

Let's get you to Master Fu so he can heal you. Huxian said as she leapt up to the roof and headed to Master Fu's place
