Chapter 4 - The Pharaoh

It was a typical Sunday morning, people were going to different shops to buy stuff while others were just walking around Paris enjoying the nice relaxing day that was until they heard a helicopter flying out of control and Ladybug trying to slow it down but she was having no luck.

"Hey Ladybloggers, it's your girl Alya here and we have live footage of Ladybug trying to stop a helicopter from flying out of control.' Alya said as she pointed her phone up and it showed Ladybug hanging onto her yo-yo that was tied around the Helicopter skid for dare life and that's when Ladybug saw Alya

"Hey Alya, Bye Alya." Ladybug said as she whisked away then something dropped from Ladybug, Alya saw what it was so she kept up appearances to her fans she had to act dumb that she didn't know who Ladybug was

"Whoa! Check this out guys, a school history book, and guess which school has these." Alya said and she saw different comments coming in saying different school names

"Sorry, but this book came from my school, Francoise Dupont College, that's here is a tenth-grade history book so the question is who in the tenth grade is Ladybug?" Alya asked

"Well, I'll leave that mystery to you guys. So bug out and stay connected." Alya said as she turned off the live video, she looked at the book and put it in her bag then headed to Marinette's place where she saw Ladybug swinging towards her balcony. When she saw Ladybug land and detransform that's when she rushed to the bakery and up to Marinette's room

In Adrien's Bedroom. Adrien who was watching the clip on his computer heard how Ladybug goes to the same school as him

"Plagg could be that Ladybug is in the same class as us?" Adrien asked

"(Oh shoot.)" Plagg thought

"What makes you think that kid?" Plagg asked

"Well, Ladybug has the same History book as our class and Alya also knew it was from our class as well." Adrien said then he smiled

"So whoever doesn't have their history book in class is Ladybug." Adrien said

"Yeah, but the question is how will you do that when you don't know who has it or doesn't since people take history classes?" Plagg said

"I'm doing my class first to see who hasn't gotten their History book then the other classes." Adrien said which made Plagg facepalm

"My holder is stupid." Plagg thought

With Alya and Marinette

When Alya entered and went upstairs to Marinette's room she entered and saw Marinette sitting at her table looking at something

"What are you looking for Marinette?: Alya asked

"It's what I saw yesterday about the Egyptian Papyrus that had the ancient Ladybug on it and I thought why don't we both go and solve this?" Marinette said

"Oh before we leave you dropped this." Alya said handing Marinette her history book back

"I was wondering where that went, thanks Alya." Marinette said

"You didn't watch the newest blog video." Alya said

"I'm sorry I was so invested in the Papyrus that I forgot about it." Marinette said

"Why don't we both go to the museum together?" Alya said

"Let's hope no akumas disturb us today." Marinette said

"Let's hope so Marinette, anyway let's go." Alya said as they exited and walked to the Louvre

When they arrived at the Louvre they walked to the Egyptian Exbiton they walked over to the Paprus where Marinette showed Alya the Egyptian Ladybug

"Then that must be Tikki then." Alya said as she pointed at the spotted creature

"It does look like her then that meant secret identities weren't secret if they knew what kwamis were." Marinette said

"You could be right." Alya said then Pharaoh walked in and a guard blew his whistle

"Everyone out there's an active Akuma inside the museum, please leave in an orderly fashion while Ladybug and Chat Noir deal with the threat." The Security Guard said he ordered everyone out

"Alya, I need a distraction so I can transform." Marinette whispered to Alya

"I know but how." Alya whispered back then Pharaoh appeared in front of them while holding the papyrus

"It appears fate has brought me a kindred spirit." Pharaoh said as he stood in front of Marinette and Alya

"Kindred spirit?" Alya asked

"Yes, and that's you." Pharaoh said which made Marinette stand in front of Alya

"Why do you need her?" Marinette asked as she glared at Pharaoh

"She will be my sacrifice to bring my Queen back and I don't need you." Pharaoh said as he grabbed Marinette and threw her away making Alya scream out her name

"Marinette!" Alya shouted as she tried to run after her friend but she couldn't due to Pharaoh gripping her shoulder

"You coming with me." Pharaoh said as he lifted Alya over his shoulder and walked out while Alya looked over to where Marinette had been thrown too

"Please save me Marinette." Alya whispered as she started to tear up

With Marinette

After being thrown by Pharaoh hard and getting knocked out, Marinette slowly regained consciousness where she put her hand against her head and felt something wet so she removed her hand and saw blood then Tikki appeared

"Are you alright Mari?" Tikki asked

"No Tikki, Pharaoh is going to be in a world of hurt once I'm done with him." Marinette said

"Will you be alright to stand or even transform?" Tikki asked

"I need to save Alya and the citizens of Paris from whatever plan the Pharaoh has set up." Marinette said as she slowly stood up on her shaky feet

"Spots on." Marinette said as she transformed into Ladybug and walked over to the bars that Pharaoh activated so Ladybug used her yo-yo to cut an opening, then she ran through and out into the corridors where she saw time bubbles that Pharaoh created

"I have to avoid those." Ladybug said as she dodged every one of the time bubbles then she ran out the door and saw the streets filled with mommies.

"This Akuma fight is going to be a challenge with how many people he transformed into mommies." Ladybug said then she grappled up to the roof

"So where is Alya?" Ladybug asked as she tried to look for her best friend among the crowd of mommies then she remembered Alya had her phone on her

"Let's see if she's live recording for her blog." Ladybug said as she turned on the Ladyblog and saw that Alya was indeed Live recording

"Hey Peeps, it's your girl Alya here on the shoulder of an akumatized villain being used as some sort of sacrifice, and Ladybug if you are watching this please save me." Alya said

"I will bestie, so hang in there." Ladybug said as she closed her yo-yo then she looked over the crowd again and that's when she saw Pharaoh and Alya

"Now. How to get my friend away from the akumatized villain?" Ladybug asked herself then Chat Noir arrived

"Hey, Milady. Who got akumatized today?" Chat asked

"Pharaoh and at the moment he's holding Alya as a hostage so I want you to distract the Mommies so I can save her." Ladybug said

"Will do Mlady." Chat said as he dropped down onto the ground and started distracting the Mommies while Ladybug swung down towards Pharaoh where Alya saw her and smiled at seeing her best friend come and rescue her so she raised her arm so Ladybug could grab her which Ladybug did and they swung back up onto the roof

"Thank you Ladybug." Alya said as she hugged her

"No problem." Ladybug said

"Oh, the akumatized object is the bracelet on his arm." Alya said

"Thanks for the information." Ladybug said with a smile on her face

"No problem." Alya said

"Alya, be safe." Ladybug said as she swung down onto the ground and landed in front of Pharaoh

"Hand over your akumatized object so I can turn these innocent civilians back to normal." Ladybug said as she held her hand out

"That's not going to happen, it's going to be me who's going to get your Miraculous and take it to Hawk Moth." Pharaoh said

"Yeah, that's not happening like ever." Ladybug said

"Well, at least I'm going to get my revenge today." Pharaoh said which confused Ladybug

"Revenge, this is the first time I fought you?" Ladybug asked

"You may have forgotten our last battle thousands of years ago but you stopped me from doing the same thing." Pharaoh said

"My predecessor stopped the last Pharaoh from doing the spell and I'll be the one to stop you and turn you back to normal." Ladybug said

"You can try." Pharaoh said as he transformed into an Egyptian God which shocked Ladybug

"(The only gods I know are Norse ones.)" Ladybug thought

Pharaoh started to fight against Ladybug making her dodge and every time Pharaoh throws a punch toward her, Ladybug had to dodge and that's when she saw the akumatized object around his left wrist which made her smile

"Stand still bug, so I can hit you." Pharaoh said as he continued trying to hit Ladybug who kept dodging until she found an opening and she quickly went towards the akumatized bracelet where she took it off Pharaoh's wrist then she backflipped away from Pharaoh's grasp then she broke the object which made the akuma flutter out of the broken object 

"No more evil-doing for you akuma." Ladybug said as she captured the akuma in her yo-yo

"Gotcha." Ladybug said as she captured her yo-yo then she opened it up as the butterfly flew away now cleansed from Negative magic

"Bye-bye beautiful Butterfly." Ladybug said as she watch the butterfly flying away

"Miraculous Ladybug." Ladybug said as she threw her yo-yo into the air which released the cleansing cure and it started to repair the damages Pharaoh caused

Jalil! Alim shouted as he ran out of the Museum and over to his son

"I'm sorry Dad." Jalil said as he looked down

"It should be me who's sorry, I caused you to get akumatized and I should support your ideas next time so this doesn't happen again." Alim said

Thanks Dad." Jalil said as he hugged his father then he pulled away as he had a smile on his face

"Now I can tell Alix that I got akumatized." Jalil said which made Alim facepalm

"I can't you two turned this into a competition on who can get akumatized more." Alim said

"Don't worry Dad, we both on 1 but it won't be long before I'm akumatized again." Jalil said

"What am I going to do with both of you?" Alim said as they both walk to the Museum then Alya ran over to Ladybug

"Thank you for saving me when you did Ladybug." Alya said

"It's my job look after the citizens of Paris." Ladybug said then she head her earrings beep

"Seems like my time is almost up." Ladybug said she grappled to the nearest building

"Bug Out!" Ladybug shouted as she disappeared behind a building then she went into an alleyway where she detransformed

"Eat up, Tikki." Marinette said as Tikki went to her purse then she ran to Louvre where she saw Alya still standing there

"What are you still standing there?" Marinette asked

"Waiting for you." Alya said

"Want to go back inside the museum and look for more information about the Miraculous?" Marinette asked

"I don't feel like it after what happened today." Alya said

"Then, want to come to the bakery." Marinette said

"I would like that." Alya said

The two girls walked to the bakery, where they both talked and laughed together
