Dogs are a Ladybug’s best friend
Dogs are a Ladybug’s best friend
@ozmav
This came from @thebookwormfairy idea “What if Marinette had a Retired Police Dog as a Pet”
@realrandomposts and I discussed which Miraculous would be used and, while my initial thought was turtle, @realrandomposts was the one who came with the idea for the fox, and just fit better for this fic (And I want to tick Alya off), because Trixx would NEVER miss a chance to cause chaos via having a dog as a holder.
As for Trixx’s gender, the site basically told me it varied from translation to translation, so I flipped a coin; literally.
 At a Gotham hotel:
Marinette couldn’t believe Captain snuck himself on to the plane!  Actually, she could, he’s such a smart boy.  But, how did he get past all that security?  Never mind Trixx probably helped with that, he likes to cause chaos like that.
“Trixx, did you have a hand in getting Captain on the plane?” Marinette asked.
“Noooooooooo.” Trixx dragged out, trying and failing to look innocent.
Marinette sighed, running her hands through Captains fur.
“Besides he was going to miss you terribly so.” Trixx continued.
“And you would have missed him as well Marinette.” Tikki added.
“True…” Marinette agreed.
“And I know Captain never wants to leave his partner alone unless he has to.” Trixx said.
Marinette smiled, still petting Captain and him loving it, the Fox Miraculous; hidden by dog tags and a bandana, catching her eye.  Marinette remembered how this came to be.
*Flash back*
Marinette was having an awful week; Lila spread rumors around the school about her, her classmates have shown to be more like sheep than classmates, Adrien wanted her to continue being a doormat, and Chat could NOT take the hint at the last Akuma attack and left her alone to fight so he could throw a tantrum.
Thankfully, Captain has proven to be the best and most loyal friend she could ever hope for. Marinette knows he would never leave her in danger just because he didn’t like what she said, he never believe she was petty and jealous of a person with such FAKE tales, and he would never ask her not to stand just for justice; being a former police dog.
That’s when an idea hit Marinette.
“Tikki, I have an idea.”
Tikki tilted her head in confusion, watching Marinette look over at her dog.
“Come on Captain, I’m going to introduce you to Master Fu.” Marinette said.
The worst the Master could do was say no, right.
 With Master Fu:
“Greetings Marinette, Tikki” Fu welcomed.
“Hello Master Fu.” Tikki greeted.
“Hello Master, I hope you don’t mind but I brought my dog; Captain.” Marinette returned.
“I don’t mind Marinette; animals can be the best of companions and partners.” Fu smiled, holding out his hand for Captain to sniff.
Captain gave a cautious sniff, but accepted Fu; allowing him to give a single head pat.
“Why don’t we sit down, I feel we have much to discuss.” Fu offered.
“Thank you Master.”
Once they were seated at Fu’s low table, Fu began talking.
“What would you like to discuss Marinette?”
“Can a Miraculous be given to an animal?” Marinette asked.
Fu raised an eyebrow.
“May I ask what brought this on?”
Marinette steeled herself.
“First Chat Noir; he’s late or doesn’t show to battles, when he does he’s pretty much out of the fight immediately, he flirts at the worst times even though I’ve told him I’m not interested in him, he throws hissy hits on a regular basis, and he doesn’t see being a hero as a responsibility but as a game.”
“What of the other heroes?”
“The other heroes have proven that they see being a hero as game as well, they don’t look to see the truth went given no evidence, they like pretty words and offers of connections than working for it themselves and are unwilling to listen to reason when it’s something they don’t want to hear.”
Marinette looked Fu in the eye.
“I’m tired of fighting alone Master Fu.”
The last sentence bore a lot of weight behind it; and Fu heard it.
“I understand Marinette.”
Fu got up to retrieve the box, once he sat down again he started talking.
“You wish for Captain to stand beside you.”
“Yes Master.”
“Do you think he will be able to handle it?”
“Yes Master, he’s a former police dog, he probably has more training and experience than I do.” Marinette giggled.
Captain gave a small tail wag; he loved hearing his girl laugh.
Fu smile and nodded.
“Now it is possible for an animal to use a Miraculous, but the process is different.”
“How so Master?”
“Normally the Guardian would choose the hold, but in the case of animals; the Kwamii’s get to choose if they want to work with them or not, so I cannot guaranty anything Marinette.”
“I understand Master.” Marinette nodded.
“Good, first we must…”
Fu was cut off by a box shaking and jumping around until Trixx popped out.  Once he was out he grabbed Marinette’s hand and began to beg.
“Please, please, PLEASE let me team up with you and your dog! This looks like it’s going to cause chaos and so much confusion!  Please let me, I know how to speak canine, so I know when to transform and stuff, I get along really well with Tikki, my Miraculous can hang with his tags, and my charge up food is really easy.  Please, please, PLEASEEEEEEE!”
Marinette couldn’t help but laugh.
“I have no problem working with you Trixx, but let’s see what Captain thinks.”
Marinette turned to her dog, he liked Tikki, but that doesn’t mean he’d like Trixx.
Trixx flew over to Captain; Captain gave him a sniff.
“Hi Captain, do you want to team up with me to protect your girl?” Trixx asked.
Captain was quiet for a moment, but eventually gave a gentle woof in agreement.
“Yes!” Trixx cheered.
Marinette, Fu and Tikki laughed as Marinette clipped the Miraculous on Captain’s collar; behind the tags, but that laughter was cut short by screaming and crashing outside.
“AKUMA!!!!”
Fu turned to Marinette.
“Go.”
Marinette nodded her head.
“Alright Tikki; Spots on!”
Captain gave a stern bark.
Once the transformation light died down Marinette could see what Captain looked like.
Captain wore an orange, black and white vest that was modeled after a normal police dogs vest; it had the fox tail symbol, in white, on the back and a ladybug symbol on the front where a police badge would be.  Captain also had arm guards on his front legs that covered the top of his paws; they faded from orange to white, but Marinette’s favorite part was his mask.  It was just a normal orange, black and white mask, but just looked so cute.
“Well, I can’t call you Captain, no matter how common that name might be.” Marinette said, looking at her dog. “How about…Hunter?”
The newly christened Hunter gave a soft woof in agreement.
“Come on Hunter, we have an Akuma to fight.”
And then they were off.
“Good luck.” Fu said as they left.
 Where the Akuma was:
The fight with the Akuma, which Chat did not show up to, went smoothly. Hunter cast his illusion by howling and apparently, he could also sniff out the akumatized item, this made things so much easier.  Ladybug didn’t even need to cast Lucky charm! They even did a ‘Pound it’ where Hunter bumped his nose against her fist.
But once everything was fixed by the cure, Chat showed up.
“Hey Bug-a-boo.”
“You missed everything Chat.” Her voice was hard, causing Hunter to tense up.
“Aww, don’t be like that Love bug, it couldn’t have been bad.”
Chat reached out to grab Ladybug only to be blocked by a snarling Hunter.
“What the heck is that?!” Chat exclaimed, back away from the costumed dog.
Ladybug smiled sickly sweet smile at Chat.
“This is Hunter the new, and permanent, fox holder and my new partner.”
“But what about Rena Rouge?! And I’M your partner” Chat demanded.
“She has been retired, and don’t worry about the Guardian; he’s already agreed to this.  As for being my partner; tell me Chat when was the last time you showed up on time for a fight, didn’t get turned against me, or thrown a hissy fit and leave just because you didn’t get what you want?” Ladybug asked.
Chat couldn’t answer her, his mouth flapping uselessly.
“That’s what I thought.” Ladybug then turned to Hunter. “Come Hunter we should leave before your time runs out.”
Hunter gave a woof in return and jumped away with his girl, not before giving one last hard look at Chat.
*End flashback*
Trixx had been appalled by Chat’s attitude and was steaming while he ate his marshmallows, Tikki doing the same while eating cookies.  
Marinette smile as she remembered Alya’s outrage at being replaced, and by a dog at that.  But Hunter proved to the people of Paris how good he was and how great of a partner he was for Ladybug; Their ‘Pound it’ was all the rage in the internet and is now the most popular trick to teach your pet.
So here she was in Gotham with her super hero dog, which snuck aboard a plane, and two powerful little gods.
What was her life?
“Well, sulking around this hotel won’t do us any good; how about we go for a walk guys?” Marinette suggested.
Captain, Tikki and Trixx agreed; Tikki flying into Marinette’s bag and Trixx flew under Captain Bandana.
 At a nearby Park:
Marinette felt so much freer at the park, the only thing people would see was a girl and her dog.
She was just throwing the ball she got for Captain when another dog, a Great Dane, came up and began sniffing Captain.  Captain held still, ball in mouth, and let the other sniff; eventually Captain seemed to like the other dog and began leading them over to Marinette.
“Did you make a friend Captain?” Marinette asked, petting her dog.
Captain gave a slight wag of his tail and Great Dane’s tail was going so fast in was a blur. Marinette reached out her hand for the Dane, so they could get her scent; she was rewarded with a lick on her hand.
“Well aren’t you a sweet heart!  Let’s find out your name.” Marinette laughed, before reaching for the Dane’s tags. “Titus? Well it’s nice to meet you Titus!”
Titus barked his hello, trying to get closer to Marinette’s hands for petting.
“Alright buddy, you want to play fetch with me and Captain while you wait for your owner?”
Titus barked again, this time jumping around in excitement.
“Okay, okay,” Marinette laughed before winding up the ball. “FETCH!”
Marinette let the ball go and both dogs shot after it; tussling a bit to be the one to bring it back. This went on for a while before Marinette heard a voice shouting.
“TITUS!”
Titus responded to the call and ran over to a boy about her age, a very handsome boy.  Titus circled around the boy a couple times before running back to Marinette.  Marinette could only guess that this was Titus’ owner.  He made his way over to her.
“Hello Miss, I’m sorry if Titus caused you any trouble.” He greeted.
“Titus was no trouble at all; he was a real sweet heart.” Marinette assured. “My name is Marinette, and this is my dog Captain.”
“It’s lovely to meet you Marinette; my name is Damian, you’ve already met Titus.” Damian greeted, gently taking her hand and placing a kiss on the back; Marinette couldn’t help but blush.
Watching his girl blush at the new person caused Captain to step between the two, making both of blink.
“I’m sorry Damian; Captain doesn’t like strangers getting too close to me.”
“It’s fine Marinette; I should have introduced myself to your dog before invading your space. It’s understandable that he takes me as threat.” Damian said, slowly reaching out his hand for Captain.
Captain investigated the offered hand and gave Damian a hard stare.  There was a tense moment before Captain gave a snort and walked to Marinette’s side.
“I think you’ve been approved of Damian.” Marinette said surprised. “He usually doesn’t like a lot of people; really it’s just me and my parents.”
“A high honor then, I will do my best not to waste it.” Damian stated. “I would hate to ruin my chance at talking to a beautiful lady such as you.”
The blush returned to Marinette’s face.
“T-Thank you, but I’m not much.”
Damian just smirked at her, making her blush more.  Damian was going to say something when he noticed Titus sniffing at Captain’s Bandana. Marinette knew he was smelling Trixx.
“That is a very well made, where did you get this Marinette?” Damian asked.
“I made it myself; I couldn’t find anything in the stores that I liked.”
“Really?  Might I commission you to make one for Titus?”
“You can, but I don’t have a lot of my sewing supplies with me in Gotham, so it could take some time.”
“Where are visiting from Marinette?”
“I’m visiting with my class from Paris; we’re here mainly to see Wayne Enterprise.”  Marinette clarified.
“And they let you bring your dog?” Damian asked.
“They didn’t ‘Let me’.” Marinette looked over at Captain with a mock serious look. “Somehow, someone managed to trick the entire airport and sneak himself onto the plane.”
Damian gave a snort in amusement.
“Really?!”
“I know it sounds fake, but…”
Damian cut Marinette off.
“No, I believe you; I’ve seen animals be smarter than people before, but this very impressive.  Your classmates must have thought it funny.”
Marinette wilted a bit when Damian mentioned her classmates; he noticed.
“What’s wrong Marinette?”
“You won’t believe me…”
“I’ve been told I very good at telling who’s lying, so please tell me.”
“There’s a girl in my class who doesn’t like me, and she made it sound like I snuck Captain aboard the plane on purpose just to get attention.  I wouldn’t even know where to start on that!”
“It sounds like she’s done more than that Marinette.”
“She has…” Marinette sighed, she then gave a brief explanation to Damian about what was going on; he was not pleased.
“Your classmates are morons; large ones.”
“Yeah, they are.  Hey Damian, do you know much about Wayne Enterprise?” Marinette asked.
“I know enough.”
“Do you think they let Captain in?  I’d hate to leave him at the hotel tell all day.”
“I’m positive they will Marinette, the Wayne family is a very open-minded family.”
“Thank you, Damian,” Marinette smiled, before asking another question. “Do you know any nearby dog friendly restaurants are?”
“Of course, I’d be happy to show you.  Perhaps you would let me join you as well.”
“I’d like that Damian; it would be nice to talk to someone with common sense that isn’t Captain.”
Damian chuckled and held out his arm; which Marinette took, and began to guide her to the closest café their dogs trotting along with them.
While at the café Damian got Marinette to open up a bit more about her classmates; Marinette didn’t know why she did that, she was just comfortable with him.  And if Damian thought her classmates to be morons before, he though them to be outright imbeciles now.
“These people clearly have no brain cells Marinette.”
Marinette smiled at Damian, it was nice to have someone who can listen to reason.
Eventually Marinette and Captain did have to go back to the hotel, not before they exchanged number though.
“Can we do this again tomorrow; my class won’t be spending all day at Wayne Enterprise.” Marinette asked just before she left; surprising herself at her boldness.
Damian didn’t seem to have an issue with her request though.
“You took the request right out of my mouth Angel.”
“A-Angel?” Marinette stuttered.
“Certainly, you’ve shown your class kindness and patience when they don’t deserve it or you, so yes Angel; unless it makes you uncomfortable Marinette.”
“It’s fine Damian, just please; never call me Princess.” Marinette pleaded.
Damian clearly wanted to ask why but left it alone.
“Of course, Marinette; I will respect your wishes.” Damian nodded his head. “Now will you allow myself and Titus to walk yourself and Captain back to your hotel?”
“Sure Damian.”
The walk was made up of Marinette asking what Damian wanted the Bandana for Titus to look like.  Once they reached the hotel they said their goodbyes.
“It was wonderful meeting Damian, you too Titus.”  Marinette said.
“You as well Marinette, Captain.” Damian waved goodbye.
 The next morning:
Marinette, Captain and the class set off for Wayne Enterprise, Lila being Lie-le the entire time on the bus.
“The Wayne family just loves me; they always try and make sure I’m alright.” Lila boasted.
“Wow Lila, do you think you could introduce me?  I’d love to have an interview!” Alya questioned.
“Maybe Alya, they are a very busy family after all; we probably won’t even see them.” Lila redirected.
“Aww, that’s too bad.” Alya was disappointed.
Marinette, keeping a hand on Captain, resisted the urge to roll her eyes.  Last night before going to sleep, Marinette looked up the Wayne family; ignoring all the pictures she didn’t care about those and found many things. Like, if Alya wanted an interview she could just request one, yeah there would be some restrictions but Alya doesn’t care for doing her own research.
Adrien just kept quiet, just as always.
The class reached Wayne Enterprise; Marinette and Captain at the back of the group and were greeted by a surprise in the lobby.
“Hi everyone, I’m Dick Grayson and I’ll be the one giving you the tour around the building.”
The entire air shifted; Alya was ecstatic, Lila could get her an interview right away!  Lila was terrified, because this could go very south on her and she had no back up plans on being called out by one of the people she bragged about.  Marinette was confused, why were people getting excited?
Marinette was never good with icons outside fashion and music, so she didn’t know the Damian she spent time with the day before was the Damian Wayne.   So, when Damian got home he spoke with his family, telling them of a girl in the French tour would likely be using their names for gain.  Nobody liked the idea of being used, so if the topic came up they would shut it down; Damian figured out from Marinette’s descriptions that the topic would come up from one person or another.
Damian theory proved true when Alya; the pushy, rude, ‘always right’, Alya raised her hand.
“Go ahead.” Dick called on her.
“Hi, I’m Alya; I’m friends with your friend Lila Rossi!”
Lila froze at Alya’s exclamation; going very pale.
Dick frowned, now knowing who the liar in the group was; but was inwardly smirking at the chance to call them out.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve NEVER met a ‘Lila Rossi’ in my life; whoever that is lied to you.”
Alya looked like her world shattered with that one phrase.
Marinette realized Dick must be an important person Lila lied about; which one Marinette wasn’t sure they all sound the same after a point. Marinette looked over at Alya and saw the devastation on her face; Marinette really hoped her former friend would learn from this and start fact checking.
Marinette started running one her hands through Captain’s fur, the motion keeping her calm; watching more horror appear on her classmate’s faces as Dick continued.
"I hope she didn’t use our name to take advantage of people and she continues like this she will be hit with a lawsuit.”
Lila blanched, a lawsuit would really be bad, but she didn’t know how to backtrack from this lie; she didn’t think a Wayne would be the one conducting the tour.
“Well, now that that’s cleared up we can begin the tour.” Dick said, clapping his hands together.
But in a desperate attempt to get the negative focus off her Lila tried to get Marinette in trouble.
“Look Marinette brought her dog!  He can’t be here!”
Everyone turned to look at Marinette; Ms. Bustier was quick to say something.
“Marinette why in the world did you bring your dog?!”
“I didn’t want to leave Captain alone in hotel ALL day, what kind of pet owner would I be if I did that Ms. Bustier?  And how did you not see me bring him onto the bus?!”
Ms. Bustier opened her mouth to try and reprimand Marinette more but was cut off by Dick.
“This is perfectly fine Ms. Bustier; we were warned ahead of time that due to some strange events, there would be a dog in the group today.”
Ms. Bustier could only nod, not being able to argue with Dick, But Lila was outraged by this turn of events.
“Who could have possibly warned you about her dog?!”
Marinette; as much as she didn’t like Lila had to admit, that was a good question.
“I did.” Came a voice off from the side.
“Hey, Damian.” Dick greeted.
“Hello Grayson,” Damian nodded, before approaching Marinette; Titus at his side. “Hello again Marinette, Captain.”
“Damian! Titus!  I hadn’t thought you might work here!” Marinette said, “Which is silly looking back now, because you knew if Captain would allowed or not.”
“It’s fine Marinette.” Damian smiled at the sweet girl.
“Oh, hold on!  I was going to give this to you later, but since you’re here now.” Marinette said as she rummaged through her bag, pulling out a yellow piece of cloth.  “I managed to find some cloth and made Titus a Bandana, it’s nothing fancy but I wanted to see if he even liked it first.”
The Bandana was yellow with black thread spelling out ‘Titus’ in cursive.
“Its wonderful Marinette.”
“Thank you, Damian, can I put it on Titus now to see if he likes it?”
“Certainly.”
Marinette bent down to carefully tie it to Titus; who was holding still for her.
“There.” Marinette stood up.
Titus was then bouncing around her and Captain, braking and wagging his tail in happiness.  Making Damian and Marinette laugh, as Titus did his best to get Captain to play with him.
While they were in their own little world the people around them watched in awe; Damian Wayne could smile, he could laugh!
Dick was grinning ear to ear, being very thankful the lobby had cameras or else there would be no proof of this happening.  
Alya could decide between being hurt or confused; hurt by Lila’s lies or confused by the fact Marinette knew THE Damian Wayne.
Adrien was concerned; this was just going to cause more problems, why couldn’t Marinette just stay low?
Lila was seething, how is it that when she finally won over the class of idiots and turns them against Marinette, Marinette goes and somehow charms one of the riches and coldest people in the world!  This could not continue.  Lila slipped away; unknowingly catching Dick’s eye.
The rest of the class was just in awe of the sweet atmosphere around the two.
That atmosphere was broken when the sound of screaming and breaking began, a giant form comes busting into the lobby.
“Hello everyone, I am Arachnae and with no Ladybug or Chat Noir around, you all will be nothing but flies in my beautiful web.”
Arachnae was a human torso on a spider’s body, her entire form was covered in bright orange fuzz; head to the tip of each spidery leg.  The form was also very clearly Lila; she had her face and hair and the necklace she always wore, but the one thing different about Lila’s is that she now had 8 eyes.
Dick was the first to react.
“What the %&$@!”
Arachnae let out a hiss and shot webs from her hands; the strands aimed mostly at the class and Marinette.  The people that got hit were turned into little soulless puppets for Arachnae to play with and amuse herself.
Marinette jumped to dodge the web, hitting the ground running; looking for a place to hide, Captain at her side.
“Marinette!”
When Marinette dodged she threw herself away from Damian, causing him to worry, but his yell brought Arachnae’s attention to them.
“Ah yes Marinette, when I catch you I’m going to make you miserable!  And your little dog too!”
Arachnae charged at Marinette.
“Damian run!  She’s focused on me, go get help!” Marinette yelled, before she and Captain took off.
The chase began, with Arachnae destroying anything that got in her path.  As she ran Marinette began looking for a place to transform, counting on Captain to guild her around Arachnae’s attacks.  Eventually Arachnae ends up bringing the ceiling down and blocked herself from Marinette and Captain.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Arachnae screamed in rage. “FINE, I’LL JUST PLAY WITH MY NEW TOYS UNTIL YOU COME BACK! I KNOW YOU WILL YOU USELESS GIRL!”
Marinette looked around for a place without cameras and spotted a closet.
“This will have to do Captain.” Marinette said to Captain, as she closed them both inside. “Tikki? Trixx?”
“Ready!” They chimed together, flying from their hiding spots.
“Alright, now; Tikki Spots On!”
*Bark!*
With a flash of light Ladybug and Hunter were ready.  Looking around she saw some vents she and Hunter could crawl though, so the cameras didn’t see her.
 In the Lobby:
Arachnae had gotten most of the people in the lobby, except for three; Dick Grayson, Damian Wayne, and Adrien, her biggest targets outside Marinette.
“Just surrender to me, it would make this all so much easier!” Arachnae hissed at the boys, sending more webs and puppet people at them.
Dick and Damian had managed to dodge webs, puppets and Arachnae; Adrien was hiding behind a plant behind Arachnae, but they were also trapped in the lobby and running out of options.  Titus was running around, unable to get to Damian and Dick.
*Bark, Bark, Bark*
“Shut up, you dumb mutt!” Arachnae hissed, raising one spider leg bring it down on Titus.
“Titus!” Damian yelled.
Just as the Arachnae’s leg was about to hit a string from a ceiling vent wrapped around it and pulled. Arachnae was pulled with such force she toppled over, and two figures fell out of the vents.
“I don’t know how you got Akumatized outside of Paris, but that doesn’t mean you’ll win.”
“Ladybug.” Arachnae snarled.
“What?  Not happy to see me?”
Arachnae gave a war cry and launch herself at the duo.  Ladybug and Hunter jumped out of the way, Ladybug in the opposite direction of the people, Hunter grabbing Titus and bring him over to Damian and Dick. After dropping Titus off Hunter went back to Ladybug’s side; who was dodging Arachnae’s webs and people puppets, and bit one of Arachnae’s spider legs.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH” Arachnae let loose a scream of pain, she turned to Hunter. “You God awful waste of space!”
While facing Hunter, Arachnae left herself for a hit; but the hit wasn’t from Ladybug.  A small black blur cut Arachnae across the arm.
Arachnae hissed at the contact, as Batman dropped down from another vent in the ceiling.
“Batman?!  What are you doing here!” Arachnae growled.
“Really Lila?!  We’re I Gotham, you’re causing trouble and you expect Batman not to show up?” Ladybug’s exasperated voice came.
“Shut-up! And it’s Arachnae!” Arachnae snarled, clearly humiliated.
Batman threw a few more baterangs that exploded into smoke bombs and ran over to Ladybug and Hunter.
“What’s going on?” Batman asked.
“That is Lila, she has been akumatized,” Ladybug started. “Not sure how outside Paris, but that’s worry for later, but we need to find the akumatized object and break it.  That will make her lose any power she has.”
“What’s the object?”
“The only thing it could be is the necklace, everything else is just orange fuzz, but getting close to her is dangerous.  If you get hit by her web, you’ll become her puppet and I rather not fight you Batman.”
“What are your names?”
“I’m Ladybug and this is my partner Hunter.”
*Woof*
The smoke was beginning to clear from Arachnae’s face.
“We better hurry before she…”
Ladybug was cut off by a voice.
“Don’t worry Milady I’ll help you!” Chat yelled, while trying to jump in, only to get hit by on of Arachnae’s webs.
“Not again Chat!” Ladybug cried.
“Does that happen often?” Batman asked, disappointed.
“More than I’ll ever truly admit to” Muttered Ladybug.
“Oh, this perfect! Or should I say purrfect?” Arachnae jeered, as Chat puppet now dangled at the end of her web.
Batman tried to cut the web by throwing some baterangs at it, but they just bounced off.  Arachnae then sent a swarm of people puppets at them. Ladybug then had an idea.
“Batman, I need you to throw more smoke bombs.”
He did as he was instructed.
“Hunter!” Ladybug called out.
Hunter let loose a howl.
Once Hunter’s howl was done Ladybug grabbed Batman and ran behind a pillar.  Once the smoke was cleared Batman carefully looked around the pillar and was stunned when he saw the figures of himself, Ladybug and hunter were still there; Moving, talking and just outright distracting Arachnae.
“How?” Batman was blunt in his question.
“Hunter can cast an illusion, but he can only cast it once before he’s on a time limit.” Ladybug explained.
“And you?”
“This; Lucky Charm!” Ladybug through her Yo-yo in the air and what came down was a bottle of peppermint extract.
Batman gave Ladybug a confused look.
“Lucky Charm only gives me what I need, not what I want.” Ladybug clarified looking around and spotted the sprinklers in the ceiling. “I have an idea; do you think you can cut the necklace off of her neck?”
“Yes.” Batman replied, catching on to her idea.
Arachnae just managed to destroy the illusion; disappearing in a puff of smoke, when Hunter and Batman dropped in front of her.
“Why won’t you do things MY way!” Arachnae screamed.
“Because your way is wrong.” Batman stated, throwing baterangs at her.
Hunter jumped at her spidery legs, barking and biting at them; because he was under her she couldn’t shoot webs at him, but his biting allowed enough distraction for Batman to try and target the necklace.
As the three battled, Ladybug made her way up to the sprinkler system; carefully hooking up the bottle.  Once it was secured Ladybug dropped to the floor and pulled the nearest fire alarm; causing the sprinkler system to go off.
Since Lila was currently part spider, and spiders don’t like peppermint, she started to scream and curl herself into a ball.
Batman saw the opening and accomplished cutting off the necklace; which Hunter caught and brought over to Ladybug.  
Ladybug broke the necklace and release the akuma, catching it with her Yo-yo and cleansing it.
“Bye, Bye butterfly.”
After she was done cleansing the butterfly, Ladybug turned to Hunter and held out her fist.
“Pound it.”
Hunter bumped his nose against her fist
As Lady was cleansing the akuma, and ‘Pounding it’ with Hunter, Batman turned off the sprinklers a brought back the Luck Charm.
“I’m sorry for the trouble.” Ladybug said taking the charm. “I really don’t understand how she did this.”
“Gotham’s use to damage.”
“It doesn’t make it okay, but don’t worry I have something for it.” Ladybug smiled, “Miraculous Ladybug!” Ladybug tossed the bottle in the air and it exploded into thousands of little sparkly pink ladybugs.
The ladybugs swarmed over everything, reversing all the damage, turning people back to normal and healing any injuries.
The barricade Dick, Damian and Titus were behind was cleaned up and put away, leaving two stunned people and a very happy dog; Titus bounced over to Hunter to say Hi.
“Holy Sh*t! How!?” Dick asked looking around.
“Magic!” Ladybug chirped.
A groan caught Ladybug’s attention; it was Lila.  Ladybug made her way over to her.
“So, here we are again Lila.” Ladybug said in a scolding tone.
Lila tried desperately to come up with an excuse.
“It wasn’t my Fault Ladybug! Hawkmoth…”
Ladybug cut her off.
“Hawkmoth doesn’t have the power to akumatize someone in another country, let alone one across an ocean, or he would have been doing it from the start.  Now how did you get akumatized Lila.”
“You can’t prove anything!” Lila tried.
“I can.” Batman said, pulling up some security feed on his computer gauntlet, he projected it for all to see.
The video was of Lila slipping into a hallway, clearly trying not to be seen by people, and when she was done double checking her surroundings; she pulled a little glass jar out of her bag.  That jar contained a purple butterfly.  Lila then opened the jar and let the akuma to fuse with her necklace; creating Arachnae.
The people from Paris gasped.
“I-it isn’t what it looks like…” Lila began.
“Really, because to me this looks like you are either helping a known terrorist or wanted the destructive power at your disposal for whenever you felt necessary.” Ladybug was disgusted, turned to Batman. “Gotham, America in general, are not my territory; how do you want to handle this?”
“The young lady is clearly a threat to people and has purposely tried to harm them; she will be facing justice.” Batman said pulling out a pair of hand cuffs.
“What?...No!  YOU CAN’T!  I’M THE DAUGHTER OF A DIPLOMAT! TWO OF THEM!” Lila tried to fight Batman off, but without the power of the akuma she had no chance.
Around this time the GPD showed up, Batman gave them a quick run down about what happened, and they took Lila away; Batman would be dropping by later with the evidence.  A few stayed behind to take statements.
A frantic beeping was heard.
“I’m sorry Batman; Hunter and I have to return to Paris, out time is almost up.”
“Before you go can you tell how you got here?”
“The horse miraculous can teleport,” Even more beeping, “Thank you for your help Batman, come on Hunter.”
*Bark*
With that Ladybug and Hunter were gone through the vent they entered, leaving Batman and a disoriented Chat behind.  Batman made his way over to Chat.
“How did you get here?” Batman asked, Chat clearly hadn’t come with Ladybug, so he needed to know.
“Uhhh…Got to go!” Chat just ran off.
Batman knew he was just going revert to civilian state somewhere in the building, he’ll look at the security feed later.
“Damian!” Marinette busted into the new repaired lobby with Captain right beside her.
“Marinette!” Damian yelled running over to her “Are you alright?”
“I should be asking you that!  You were the one trapped with her!”
Batman was shocked to see Damian be sweet with a girl, with anyone really, and subtlety glance at Dick. Dick smiled and mouthed ‘Future girlfriend’ to him.
As Damian and Marinette were connecting, Batman noticed a blond boy run into the lobby; from the same hallway Chat ran down.
“Marinette, what were you thinking?” the blond asked running over to her and Damian, interrupting them.
Just as Adrien was about to reach her Captain stepped in front of her in a protective stance; Titus joined him, causing him to stop short.
“Adrien, what are you talking about?” Marinatte asked, standing behind her furry guards.  Damian wrapping his arm around her for comfort.
“You caused Lila to be akumatized!”
“What!  No, I/she didn’t!” Marinette and Damian yelled.
“Yes, she did, if Marinette has just stayed low none of this would have happened.” Adrien insisted.
Batman intervened before Damian could break the boys jaw.
“Young man we have proof that Lila Rossi voluntarily did the ‘akumatization’ to herself.  This young lady had nothing to do with it.”
“B-But Batman; if Marinette hadn’t exposed Lila…” Adrien began, only to be cut off by Dick.
“Hey kid, I’m the one who called out that liar and are you insinuating that you KNEW that she was lying to her classmates?”
“W-Well she wasn’t hurting anyone.”
“Kid you need a lesson on toxic people; BADLY.” Dick shook his head at Adrien.
Adrien was about to say something when he felt a hand on his shoulder; he turned, it was Batman.
“Please return to your class, the police will take your statement.”
“What about Marinette?” Adrien tried, wanting the girl to came back with him and away from Damian and his dog; not that Captain would let him get close.
“I’ll be the one taking her statement, now please return to your class.” Batman stood firm in this.
“I’ll take him back Batman.” Dick offered, grabbing Adrien’s shoulder.
So Adrien shuffled away; being lead by Dick, continuedly glancing over his should at the group.
“Is this normal behaviour for him Angel?” Damian asked.
“When I don’t do what he wants, yes.” Marinette confirmed.
Damian made a face at her answer, but before they could farther into that talk Batman had a question.
“Miss can you tell me more about these ‘Akuma’ and what happened with Ms. Rossi.”
“Sure.” Marinette sighed, “But you’re going to need some back story as well.”
Batman nodded his assent and Marinette gave the entire rundown about what is happening in Paris and the amount of rolls Lila played as an Akuma.  When she was done Marinette was out of breath but looked like the world had been removed from her shoulders.  Damian had pulled her closer as she spoke, and Captain and Titus were trying to cuddle up to her.
There was a beat of silence before Batman spoke.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know how the League missed what was happening.”
“It’s fine Batman, I know the League would never let us flounder if they knew what was going on.” Marinette assured, “Honestly I think magic had something to do with that, but I’m not sure WHY the mayor didn’t contact you.”
“It will be investigated, thank you for your time.” Batman then walked off to talk to an officer.
Once he was gone Damian turned to Marinette; who was still in his arms.
“Are you sure you’re alright Angel?”
“I’m fine Damian, I promise, Captain and I hid in a closet.  Thank you for staying with me though, talking about akums and Lila just takes a lot out of me.”
“Consider what you told me yesterday and what you just told Batman, I think it’s a miracle that you were akumatized yourself.”
“I work hard not to be, but I should be allowed to feel bad without Hawkmoth trying to take advantage of me.” Marinette sighed.
A commotion of noise grabbed their attention, it was Marinette’s class; they were arguing amongst themselves.
“I really don’t wat to go back over there; that looks like pure drama.” Marinette groaned.
“Drama that could have been avoided if they had any common sense.” Damian commented, “Since you don’t wish to rejoin your class, and you’ve already given you statement, would you and Captain like to join Titus and I for lunch again?  We’ll still be in the building and I’ll let Grayson know what’s going on.”
“That sounds wonderful Damian.”
Captain gave a small tail wag and Titus was just happy to spend more time with Marinette and Captain.
“Then it is agreed.” Damian said, sending off a text to Dick and then holding out his arm to Marinette. “Shall we?”
Marinette giggled and took the arm.
“We shall.”
Damian began to lead Marinette and the dogs to the cafeteria.
“I hope the Wayne family isn’t too mad at the problems my class caused.” Marinette commented, making Damian freeze in his tracks.
“Damian?”
“Angel I should let you know; because I would hate you to think I lied to you, but I am Damian WAYNE son of Bruce Wayne.”
“Oh.” Marinette blinked, “Well I hope you and your family aren’t too mad at my class.”
Damian’s was stunned, Marinette saw the look.
“Damian, clearly your family is important, but that doesn’t matter to me; what matters is that you are a good person.  I’ve met other kids from important families, but they were terrible, and I wanted nothing to do with them.  You’ve already proven to be a great person and that’s all I need.”
Damian gave a soft smile.
“Thank you, Angel, you truly are treasure.”
“So, your family won’t be mad?” Marinette asked.
“Nope, Gotham sees more damage than any other place in America, so the problems Rossi caused wouldn’t raise any more attention.” Damian explained. “The fact is was repaired by a hero from Paris will actually draw more attention.”
“Oh.”
“Indeed, now shall we continue to lunch Angel?”
“Definitely.”
So, arm in arm Damian and Marinette went to lunch; Captain and Titus trotting along with them.
 End.
That was Dogs are a Ladybug’s best friend.

wow i made this draft on november 1st i really took a break from this huh anyway tgcf chapters 121 - 142
i realize now this coffin scene was inevitable. feel kinda weird about hua cheng  back and forth from Teen to Big Man but it is very funny that theyre having their “dude dont look at my boner” moment while in the jaws of a water dragon
pei ming: why didnt you guys make a bigger coffin so you didnt have to squish together like that? xie lian: haha yep!! anyways what brings you here?
“In the grand, spacious centre of the entrance hall sat a person. And this person, dressed in all black, its face snow-white—was a corpse! Instantly Xie Lian shut the doors soundly.” - king of minding his own business.
okay this is where i stopped putting notes here for a while but i did save some in my e-reader so here’s some of the highlights
“Guzi used to have a good sleeping form, but perhaps with his cheap dad’s bad influence, now he was also spread out on top of Qi Rong’s stomach like a dead fish. Lang Ying himself was curled neatly in the corner, and was covered by a few shirts. Xie Lian lifted the blanket covering Qi Rong, suppressed the urge to smother his face, and covered the two small children.” - xie lian funny moments. also it would be really funny if qi rong redeems himself by learning love through these misfit chiildren and it might actually endear me to him but i hope that doesnt happen
Every heavenly official was yelling, and even Ling Wen was throwing a fit. “DON’T THROW EVERY BIT OF USELESS INFORMATION MY WAY, HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK I HAVE TO GO THROUGH EVERY DAY? DON’T YOU ALL KNOW TO USE YOUR BRAINS A LITTLE BEFORE ASKING ME?!” - ling wen marry me right now
“An expression like “seen a ghost” that only mortals experienced was now showing on his face for the first time. Shi Wudu’s pupils shrank to the smallest they could, and he blurted, “You’re still alive?!” “I’m dead!” He Xuan said coldly.” - okay everythings going tits up rn but i did laugh
i did see spoilers re: ming yi/he xuan reveal + shi wudu’s fate beforehand so i dont have a genuine reaction other than oh shit
“He slowly enunciated each word. “I won’t touch your fate. But, here in this place, chop off your brother’s head for me.”  CLANG! He threw a rusty blade onto the ground. Shi Qingxuan stared at that blade, his eyes wide. He Xuan continued, “Then, never show yourself before me again, and I will pretend you’ve never existed in this world.” - okay idk what else is going to happen but rn im concerned that this is like the 2nd biggest ship. i guess we’ll see?? i mean i am really curious whats going to happen to them. shi qingxuan keeps calling he xuan “ming-xiong” and i... sad
shi wudu im not really invested in you as a character but these next two bits... interesting
“If I don’t die but have nothing, then that’s truly a fate worse than death. If I’m not the Water God, I can’t take care of you. I won’t even be able to protect myself. I’m scared that we won’t even last two days…TAKE IT!” - damn. something about the wealthy losing everything and not knowing how to live without it bc thats their entire life and identity
“EVERYTHING I HAVE TODAY, I FOUGHT FOR MYSELF. I WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT I DON’T HAVE. I WILL CHANGE FATE I DON’T POSSESS. MY FATE IS UP TO ME AND NOT THE HEAVENS!” - okay so the whole committing spiritual fraud by tormenting a man and his family to get your brother a cushy title thing aside this was kind of badass. heretical? possibly. but still. also is he intentionally riling up he xuan so sqx doesnt have to kill him? if so damn...
also okay as long as im here im just gonna say it. the choice that he xuan gives shi qingxuan is fucking brutal but i actually think its probably as fair as it could be. sqx didnt know about or participate in what happened to hx but they did benefit from it greatly while hx lost EVERYTHING and i can understand he xuan’s thinking of “if you really feel bad for what happened to me then you have to make a sacrifice and understand the suffering and this is as clean as its going to get” and theres a bit where sqx is trying to beg for mercy but cant get the words out which im guessing is bc theres no good argument!! what happened was fucked up!!
“When Pei Ming saw that reinforcements had arrived, he didn’t appear particularly delighted; instead he threw the sword into the ground, then rubbed his nose and said, sounding grim, “You all just had to come just as I finished making these, what the heck.” - pei ming making coffins chopping down trees with his sword i love it #wastehistime2k17
“Xie Lian brought that basket of eggs along, and gave them away as souvenirs from the mortal realm. Many who received the eggs were overjoyed; some deciding to eat it along with their own blood, and some proclaiming they would hatch an eight-foot monster.” - GHOST CITY GHOST CITY
“Placing the brush down, he blew lightly at the ink and smiled. “If I like something, then my heart will not have room for any other, and I’ll always treasure it. A thousand times, a million times, no matter how many years, this will not change. This poem is the same." - thats nice and all but king... get therapy. i actually have further thoughts but tbh i dont want to put them into words bc they are simply too personal! moving on
didnt take any notes but somewhere in here was the bit with mount tong’lu opening and hua cheng losing it and kind of um. hm. that scene. thats another trope i really hate tbh i dont care for it as a way of including physical intimacy between characters and idk if it really ever adds anything but whatever moving on
The Half-Maquillage Woman - kind of interesting monster idea bc women and aging…. yeah. however i think this would be a lot stronger if there were a) more girls and this was b) discussed or illustrated at all prior to this moment. still interesting that its included knowing the author is a woman tho and there’s been comments on how ling wen is perceived vs pei ming. this book does keep giving me hope for interesting female character arcs i really want it to deliver something
quan yizhen..... i get u
lmao i have a note on a bit with lang ying that says “please dont be hc in disguise” and..... my clown nose was on but at least i knew that. for real this is bothering me how much he’s just. always. there. i know he’s a lead but we didn’t really need him around for a lot of this. oh well.  okay now to my current notes
“Yet it was precisely because it wasn’t cooked that it had to be eaten quickly. Once Xie Lian cooked it, it wouldn’t be edible anymore” - fucking fantastic
“Xie Lian hugged his belly. “Of course! Only after having met you did I rediscover that it’s such a simple thing to be happy, hahaha…” Hearing this, Hua Cheng blinked. Xie Lian’s laughter quieted a bit, realizing what he just said was a little too revealing.” - okay i know i said what i said about being tired of hua cheng being everywhere but... the line…. the fact that theyre laughing together…. :pleading:
“It’s not,” Ling Wen said. “At least, I believe, there will definitely not be another in history who can create a dish called ‘Incorruptible Chastity Meatballs’” - and truer words were never spoken
“I, DO NOT WORSHIP GODS. “I, AM GOD!” - this was every bit as badass as i hoped but no one told me it was immediately followed up by a little bit of the ol dinner theater fjalkdsfjsd. also puqi shrine noooooooooo
“Xie Lian sighed as he thought, “Qi Rong has taken Guzi away, who knows if the poor child was eaten or abandoned. Wind Master...... ..... who knows if Black Water took him away. Pray they’re both safe.” yeah hey are we going to fucknig. find out what happened to the child???
and yeah i dooooont really care for the age regression? thing thats going on. i just dont like that trope tbh. but tiny hua cheng whipping out his fat ghost king wallet in the store was funny tho. it is really funny that hualian are just like wandering around some random towns while the heavens are in an uproar. i guess theres not much else to do but its funny
“Me too, me too. You all know of my shixiong, right? Talented, with an infinite future! He only had one small vice: he loved playing women. Decades ago, a little prostitute ghost seduced my shixiong and sucked him dry into human jerky, and that Hua, Hua, Hua, that ghost king dared shelter her.” - yes omg give me the forbidden hua cheng lore i love this for him for real it goes along nicely with xie lian’s principles about giving another cup. god i love shared values
“Hua Cheng poked again, and a small hole appeared on the wall, as if the wall was made of tofu.” - how’d he do that. why is this a ghost king power. its useful tho
*me shaking qi rong when he pops up* WHERE IS THE CHILD
mu qing fu yao is here okay im happy now. once again no one has a good grasp on their secret identity and i love that. this inn has descended into chaos and im delighted and im glad lan chang is back
“The good ol’ kitchen was suddenly squished and crowded, loud and noisy. Fu Yao was chasing that fetus spirit leaping up and down, Lan Chang was chasing after Fu Yao like she had gone mad. Half of Qi Rong’s face changed shape by the way Xie Lian was pressing him down on the chopping board, his back turning into a target for those yellow talismans Fu Yao hurled while being observed by a crowd, and Lan Chang would step on him from time to time.” - this is pure chaos. i love that mu qing was in that room when the mob checked and he didnt say a word didnt open the door just sent out a talisman as a warning. king your disguise is transparent
“Xie Lian remembered the way Feng Xin laughed until he was hoarse when he first heard that verbal password all those years back, and couldn’t help but feel nostalgic, even though it wasn’t the right time.” - awwwww omg im emotional about this... faithful friend feng xin laughing at xie lian’s stupid joke password and remembering it!!! ;_;
“They have, but they’re not effective,” Feng Xin said. “Usually they’re the most diligent in scorning the Palace of Ling Wen, like they could do the job way better if they had the position. Now that we need them to take up the task, not a single one can do even half of what she does.” - typical... typical typical typical
also emotional about the fact that feng xin contacted xie lian at all.....
also!! emotional about lan chang as a mom and wanting to help out sick lil guzi.....
xie lian forcing “fu yao” to let him help “his general” is making me.... what is friendship if not playing along with your buddies little shenanigans while also making them accept your help
“Someone like Mu Qing, even though he’s narrow-minded, petty, sensitive and skeptical, has a bad personality, constantly guessing, doesn’t say nice things, likes to nag, always offending people and has a lot of people who dislike him, has no friends, can remember small, unimportant details for a long period of time…” ”Xie Lian went on in one breath with a straight face, but in the end he concluded with, “...But I’ve known him since we were kids, after all, he’s still got principles.” - XIE LIAN PLEASE AFJDLKSFJDL omg ive seen this quote before but i figured he was talking to someone else not actually to mu qing himself fgjasdkfjsl. god thats amazing. hey im gonna help you out because i care but i will roast you first <3
waaaaaait so is lan chang aka jian lan that girl from book 2 we took a page to talk about and then disappeared? that has to be it why else would we have stopped to discuss her
“Jian Lan spat on his face, then choking his neck, she slapped him twice again. “WHAT SHITTY SUPREME! YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO BLOW YOURSELF UP! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, THINK YOU’RE EVEN WORTH TO BE THOUGHT OF AS EQUALS WITH THE OTHER THREE SUPREMES? WHAT ARE YOU EVEN GOOD AT? YOUR THICK SKIN? OF COURSE I DARE HIT YOU!” - oh this feels so good i cant lie. YES GET HIM!! CHOMPING AND VIOLENCE YES!!!!
okay this description of cuocuo.... im... that sure the hell is a creature
this book is so entertaining bc i already saw spoilers for the feng xin/jian lan/cuo cuo reveal and yet i could never have predicted the circumstances that brought it about. imagine being feng xin. the heavens are in an uproar and your only friend/enemy has been jailed for possible fetus spirit-related crimes but he escapes along with this female ghost who keeps causing problems. you figure “fuck it lets see if dianxia kept his old phone number” and he has but then he hangs up on you. you’ve got fuckall else to do so you go find him. mu qing is there but he’s in his disguise the two of you were using so you could watch over his highness while staying aloof. you think you see hua cheng only he’s a chiild for some goddamn reason but who knows at this point. the female ghost is also there and theres a fetus spirit climbing trees and biting your arrows in half. you realize the female ghost is your ex and the little demon is your son. it bites you. what do you do
amazing that despite everything going on everyone is still playing along with the “fu yao” persona when it would probably be easier to drop pretenses at this point. then again tbh if i could explain my actions to my friends while pretending to be a third party.... i probably would so.. carry on
“With all his devotees gone, only Feng Xin still treated him like the Flower-Crowned Martial God and His Highness the Crown Prince. ” “...his protection charms were all seen as trash. However, Feng Xin was still determined and tireless in handing them out; telling Xie Lian, look, you still have devotees.” “After all, he was the darling of the heavens since birth, high and mighty. Feng Xin so naturally spun around him like he was the world, so how could he possibly have his own life, his own heart” “Whether or not that fetus spirit was Feng Xin’s son, if it was that period of poverty that made Feng Xin lose the girl he loved, Xie Lian wouldn’t be able to forgive himself no matter what." ohhhh my god this relationship i. im...
Tumblr media
oh my god i still have 30 more chapters until book 4............ its naptime now i think

HOLD ON ONE SECOND, MISS PYE.
OKAY LOOK, I GET IT. YOU’RE UPSET AND HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE. ANNE WAS WRONG. 
BUT SERIOUSLY?
ANNE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO STUCK UP FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW IT. WHILE EVERYONE WAS TRASHING YOUR REP, ANNE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DEFENDED YOU AND BELIEVED YOU.
YES, GILBERT’S STICKING UP FOR ANNE WITH MOODY.
OH NO, SHIRBERT ARE FIGHTING AGAIN. YIKES.
Yay, Anne and Miss Stacey are having a feminist discussion!!!! She agrees with Anne, but knows what she did was wrong.
Poor, Anne. I do feel bad for my baby. I know what she did was wrong, but my heart still aches for her.
Great, now the old white men what to cancel the newspaper.
OH NO, THEY DID NOT JUST BRING MARY INTO THIS.
OH NO, NO THEY DIDN’T.
NOW IT’S PERSONAL.
I HOPE RACHEL UNLEASHES HER INNER FEMINIST.
This cinematography though. You can FEEL how Rachel is feeling.
DIANA AND JERRY. THEY’RE DISCUSSING THE BOOK.
THEY’RE GETTING DEEP.
OH NO.
OH NO.
OH NO.
JERRY’S NOT DEEP ENOUGH FOR DIANA.
‘Well, you’re a handsome creature, you have that in your favour’. WAS THAT A COMPLIMENT OR NOT MISS BARRY.
‘I wonder if we could think of something else to do, instead of just talking?’ EXCUSE ME MISS DIANA BARRY. BUT YOU CONTINUE TO BE THE BOLDEST GIRL IN AVONLEA.
OH NO, JERRY IS SAD.
WHAT’S GOING ON WITH DIANA AND JERRY.
ARE THEY NOT COMPATIBLE?????
‘This is not about the newspaper. This is about men being uncomfortable with woman. With mondernity itself’. YES MISS STACEY. YOU GO MISS STACEY.
YES. FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
‘I reckon you’ve heard from about enough men on this topic’. MATTHEW. PURE SWEET ANGEL. THE ONLY MAN I TRUST.
OH NO. HERE COMES ANNE’S BREAKDOWN.

LOOK AT HIM.
HE’S SO PROUD.
READING HIS WIFE’S ARTICLE.
‘You know she’d stand up for any one of you, even despite what you’re saying about her. She’d do what was right. That’s who she really is’. OH I’M GOING TO CRY.
YES. LOVE AND APPRECIATE HER. MY DAUGHTER DESERVES THE WORLD.
Guys, what it going on with Diana and Jerry? Are they just not compatible beyond attraction?? What are the writers trying to tell us??????
YES PRISSY, GET YOUR INHERITANCE.
YOU’RE THE OLDEST AND THE BRIGHTEST AND MOST ESPECIALLY THE WISEST.
Uh, I’m sorry about your father Prissy, truly I am.
You deserve so much more.
SHIRBERT AHHHH.
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH DIANA??
WHAT??
TELL ME!!
Yes Anne, now that’s a beautiful apology!!
‘No one but you is allowed to dictate what you’re worth’.
JOSIE STILL BE JOSIE.
GUYS, JERRY IS ASKING ANNE FOR DATING ADVICE.
DIDN’T WE ASK FOR THIS???
YEAH BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYY.

Tower of God S2ch314 Rough Translations
How dare you come to my floor and hurt my people.. // Are you out of your mind-
The Floor of Test Evankhell’s Hell Ruler
Or are you that confident that you can beat me?
High Ranker Rank 60 Evankhell
Evankhell..!!
After cruelly killing the ruler that Zahard-nim appointed to the Floor of Tests // She became this place’s ruler..!
An unruly and violent High Ranker who continues to disobey Zahard-nim’s orders..!
I heard you denied Zahard-nim’s summons // and that you left to somewhere far away and never came back..?
Aah, yeah that’s right. But I’m back now. // Of course I never went to see Zahard-nim though.
How impertinent!! I am here to deliver the King’s commands!! // Stop fooling around and greet me properly!!
I wouldn’t have killed this place’s ruler if I cared about that in the first place. // Besides, aren’t you the one who should show your courtesy to the ruler of this Floor?
That’s right, so.. I think offering your life would suffice.
What!!
That’s enough. Evankhell-nim.
…?
No matter how high your ranking is or that you’re the ruler of this place // that is not an appropriate way to treat the King’s herald.
...Who the heck are you.
I am Tinker Yolche
The 4th Unit army commander of the troops directly under King Zahard and a faithful servant of Kallaban.
Kallaban’s 3rd Tier Servant Ranker Tinker Yolche
??F Hell Train - The Three Commands - 06
Kallaban?
As in that famous “human collector”..? // Did he join Zahard’s army? [Bunny: Just in case, Kallaban’s gender is still ambiguous at this point]
I don’t care who your master is.
If you are here to kill my people
I will also kill you.
So decide whether you want to get out of here or die.
You’re not getting out of here, huh!!
Don’t think you can do anything with those cheap tricks!
Hooh-
You stopped that attack..
Who’s behind you?
You’re sharper than I expected.
For you to notice that I’m the one manipulating the shinsoo.
You’re not just some simple lunatic as the rumors say.
It’s an honor to meet you.
Evankhell-nim.
4th Unit Royal Bodyguard Kallaban’s 2nd Tier Servant High Ranker Yulker
Are you that Kallaban person?
No. Kallaban-nim is not here. // He has important business at the last station of the Hell Train.
What!? So he sent only you guys to deal with me // while he goes on his merry way to play around with regulars?
Well.. we did not expect you to come back, Evankhell-nim.. // But it’s fine. We’re good enough to deal with you.
Good enough?!
The last station..?
You know who I am yet you’re saying that?
We know. That you have the power of the ancient species. // But on board our floating castle are two High Rankers, including me, and approximately 30 rankers.
30…? Wow-
That’s some laughable number.
I’ll show you how meaningless your numbers are before me!
Ruler Evankhell.
I cannot sleep because of all the ruckus.
(Did you happen to catch chuunibyou or something?) [Bunny: not sure how can I accurately translate this either.. just google “chuunibyou" or you can go with “putting up a show like a teenager”]
Floor Guardian-nim!
You have disturbed my sleep with your noise // The price of messing with the floor that you are administering is very high.
As of today, you’re-
Fired-!!
..G-geh!! Floor Guardian-nim!?
What do you mean I’m fired!!
No!!
Keuk-!!
Noooooooooo
!!
We’re teleported..?
This place is..
A “warp gate”..
Where does it lead?
I.. don’t know but // it seems the Floor Guardian is trying to take us somewhere.
Perhaps it’s to the “last station”.
So we’re going on a quick trip
I didn’t have to get fired for all that though.
(It would pay me well for doing a half-ass job)
Maybe this means we’re never coming back.
(And you doing nothing but playing around is the exact reason why you got fired.)
Oi, don’t say something so ominous.
Anyway..
We should begin
Our trip.
Hell Train
So annoying..!! // I wanted to eat you when you’re still at your freshest..
But looks like I have to beat you half to death..!!
White-nim.
...You’re..?
...Why are you here alone..?
I have a favor to ask you.
Asking for a favor out of the blue. Do you suddenly yearn to be eaten by your majesty now? // Sorry but I don’t eat filthy souls like yours.
I’m aware of that.
From the beginning, I came here to ask you this favor.
Have you noticed that I have started seeing the paths in the Train?
...Yeah so?
According to the path I’ve seen // we will face a huge ordeal at the last station.
I will get your final clone back to you. [zumi: I still don’t like using clone ahah]
..!?
And in exchange, please lend us your strength to tide us through this crisis.
“Slayer” White-nim.
...What? // What did you just say, Rachel?
The reason you were trapped in that cave.. // Aren’t you curious.
What are you talking about..! You told me you didn’t know why!!
I lied. // I didn’t want to tell you the truth.
Did you think you were born to become a hero // who will come here and defeat Zahard to change the Tower?
No, Baam. You were not born for that. // You are not saving this Tower…
You were born // as a “monster” who will curse and devour everything in this Tower.
Arlen herself..
always called you a monster.
…..?
Rachel.. how..
Do you..!
That’s all I’m telling you today.
Traveler-ssi..! [zumi: finally, traveler has a use] [Bunny: stealth 12/10]
Too bad, Baam..
Now you have a reason to chase after me now that you have come to dislike me.
Rachel!!
!! Black Turtle!!
?!
(Huh?)
Shit!! They escaped!!
………
…..Rachel..
How do you know.. My mother…?
A few months later // Road to the last station
Aaaaaaahhh!!
[Bottle label: Shake it! / Quanta / You’ll get screwed]
(Ah f*** off)
Aren’t you excited, Hatsu!! // We’re meeting our friends again after a long time!!
I’m so proud that we’re going to greet them before anyone else!!
..It doesn’t seem like.. we’re the first to arrive though?
Huh?! // Someone came before us?
Yeah. And it’s not just one or two people.
..Something doesn’t feel right.
