//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 // Story: Magical World // by madhat886 //------------------------------// ! In the HQ of Shimmer Exports in Paris, France the CEO of the company Sunset Shimmer is holding a press conference. The two miraculous created over 40 thousand years ago by neanderthals and left in a cave where the two necklaces were found underneath a stone slab that covered a small hole. Where the two necklaces laid till a team discovered them, the team sent by Sparkle’s Lab followed the energy readings to the cave. “Sparkle’s Lab which my company funds discovered the two miraculous in the form of necklaces made of leather and bones of the animals that the kwamis are look like. Ms. Sparkle has been researching magic for years and through her research has discover many things which is how she detected the miraculous. While they were being transported, the truck was hi-jacked by a book character brought to life by the new villainess Rainbow Peacock. And the rest you already know,” Shimmer said. “What are the plans with the miraculous?” the reporter Nadja Chamack asked. “Do research on them and see if magic can’t be harness as a power source,” Shimmer said. “Power source?” another reporter ask. “Yes power source. Magic energy is all around us which people and objects use to preform magic spells and seemingly object like a lamp that once lit will never go out, use to power themselves. Ms. Sparkle is researching in how to collect magic and use it as a power source. With how much power the magic users have displayed from the recent ones who have been revealed and Paris very own magical heroes, namely Ladybug who can repair damage done to the city. That kind of power put to use in, can power entire cities and raise the standards of life for many,” Shimmer said. “What of Chloé Bourgeois and Sabrina Raincomprix?” another reporter asked. “Both Tusk and Wing the two kwamis have chosen them as their users or guardians as they call them, and will continue to be. Both miraculous are now the property of Shimmer Exports and would had been left in that cave if it wasn’t for Sparkle’s Lab funded by my company. Both girls are employees of my company and will have all legal issues dealt with by my company legal team. And if you have any questions for the kwamis, they can answer their own questions at a later date. Both are catching up with how much the world has changed since the ice age,” Shimmer said. ! Dupain-Cheng Bakery - Marinette sat on her bed as she watches the live news fee of the interview with Ms. Shimmer. Around her are the kwamis of the miraculous box that she’s the guardian of. None of them had ever met either Tusk or Wing or any kwami that are based on ancient animals. “Well the secret is out for everyone to see,” Marinette said watching the tv. “At least they can’t be recorded,” Tikki said. “None of you ever heard of them before?” Marinette asked. “No I never heard of them before or meet any of the ancient kwamis. Or heard of these neanderthals who made them before,” Wayzz said. “The neanderthals were a subspecies of modern humans like how there are different species of dogs but can still breed with each other. Which is what happen to them, the neanderthals interbred with us modern humans till there wasn’t any pure blooded ones left,” Marinette said. “Then they’re really old then. I never seen another species of human before,” Tikki said. “And they’re now owned by Ms. Shimmer and she’s allowing both Chloe and Sabrina to use them,” Marinette said thinking of what happen after they lost Rainbow Peacock. ! Flashback - “Any sign of her?” Mammoth Queen ask Whitewing who is flying around the . “Can’t see her,” Whitewing said before flying down landing next to her friend. “Chloe?” Ladybug said as she walks up to her with Chat Noir. “It’s Mammoth Queen to you,” Mammoth Queen said. “Mammoth Queen those miraculous will have Hawkmoth coming after them and that new villain as well. I can keep them safe,” Ladybug said. “And you decide when and if I can use it like you did last time? As if, both of these miraculous didn’t came from that box you kept the others in. You never listen to me when I was trying to help o and only gave me back the Bee miraculous only when you had no choice. Well I don’t have to give you Tusk as he isn’t one of your kwamis,” Mammoth Queen said as she transforms back to normal and Tusk the woolly mammoth kwami floated next to her. "I'm a female," Tusk said. "Oh sorry," Chloe said. "How do, I turn back?" Whitewing asked. "Say 'Power Away'," Tusk said. "Power Away," Whitewing said transforming back to Sabrina and Wing appearing next to her. "I'm the male," Wing said. "So how did you like being a superhero?" Chloe ask Sabrina. "It was great, flying around in the sky and feeling so powerful," Sabrina said. “That must be nice,” Chat Noir said as he couldn’t fly without transforming to do so. "And you two," Chloe said to the two kwamis. "You two want to be lock away in a small box where Ladybug over here will only take you out when she needs to? Like she does to the other kwamis she has?" "No," Wing said. "Locking kwamis?" Tusk ask offended and looks at Ladybug. "You lock kwamis away in... a box?" "A box is a small container like a leather bag," Sabrina said seeing that Tusk doesn't know what a box is. (1) “It’s too keep them safe,” Chat Noir said. "No, I refuse to go with you Ladybug. I have been asleep for too long," Tusk said. "Me too, I need to spread my wings again," Wing said. “There you go both of them aren’t part of your miraculous collection and they don’t want to go with you. And more importantly this is none of your business as I remind you they’re not part of your collection and don’t want to be part of it. Seeing how they would be lock away never being used like those other kwamis,” Chloe said. “You have the makings of a fine matriarch,” Tusk said. “And Sabrina will make a fine healer,” Wing said. “Listen you two been asleep for a long time and need to learn what has happen,” Chat Noir said. “Then we will learn from our new protectors,” Wing said. “Protectors?” Sabrina asked. “Yes the ones who use us are the protectors of the tribe. Using our powers to help the tribe survive,” Tusk said. “So you being the kwami of power would had defended the tribe from the ice age animals and Wing would heal those injured,” Chloe said. “Of course, we were only place under a stone because it was time of the choosing of the next protectors. But something must had happen,” Wing said wondering what happen to the tribe. “So I can heal people?” Sabrina asked. “Of course, I can heal injuries and cure the sick to a point,” Wing said. “To a point?” Sabrina asked. “I can heal the body but if the one I heal is starving or just old. I can make them feel better but the one who is starving is still starving and the old is still old. And I can’t bring back the dead,” Wing said. “And I can power up Wing so that he can heal large groups of people at a time instead of just one before he has to eat to regain his strength,” Tusk said. “We’re here to help people,” Wing said. “Unlike the kwamis you have who were all lock away in a box to never be used to help anyone,” Chloe said taking a jab at Ladybug. “So that’s why you kwamis were created,” Ms. Shimmer said walking out of the crowd that formed around them heroes. She got out of the car that took her into the city after seeing the news flash and alert that the truck with the special item on board was hi-jacked. “Ms. Shimmer what are you doing here?” Chloe asked. “Came to handle this personally seeing how the truck carrying the two magical items was attacked. Yes the two miraculous were recovered by a team I sent to find them,” Ms. Shimmer explains. “What for?” Ladybug asked. “I’ll explain that at a news conference as for you two kwamis. If it wasn’t for me you two would still be under a rock. Just come with me and I’ll explain in the car. Chloe, Sabrina your school cancel classes because of the attack, so please come with me with your new friends,” Ms. Shimmer said. “Right Ms. Shimmer,” Chloe said following her boss along with Sabrina and the two kwamis. Leaving both heroes of Paris behind them. Who could only watch as both Chloe and Sabrina got into the car of Ms. Shimmer and it driving off. ! Back in Marinette‘s room - “Did you kwamis back in the temple ever we’re used or were you all just lock away and never used by anyone?” Marinette ask the kwamis. “Only rarely,” Tikki said. “That’s what I thought,” Marinette said wondering what is the point of having miraculous that could be used to help if they’re just lock away. “Why were the miraculous were created if all is done with them is lock them away and only use when there is no other choice?” “I… don’t know,” Tikki said as she and the other kwamis can’t remember why their miraculous were created in the first place or why they were even created.
