The MIRACULOUS Next Generation

Chapter # 60 The Guardian.

Carapace and Volpina finally defeated the vicious Akuma; Carapace laughed, "I told you we would come over this frivolous obstacle,"

"I know; how are we gonna purify the Akuma?" She sighed and looked at the black insect sitting on the terrace, waiting for its victim to get mad, "only Ladybug can do that,"

"We should capture it in a jar or something until we find Ladybug," he scratched the back of his head.

"We cannot do that; the idea has so many drawbacks," Volpina tapped her chin.

"But we cannot stay here and keep our eyes glued to the butterfly,"

"We will change back any time soon," as if on the cue, Carapace's bracelet beeped.

Carapace exhaled through his nostrils, "I guess we have to leave now,"

"We will meet here again as soon as our Miraculous is charged, understood?"

"Okay, mother," He laughed at his joke while Volpina glared daggers at him.

Volpina jumped down into a dark alleyway and transformed into a girl known as Sara Lahiffe, "the night has already fallen; I dont think your mom or dad are going to appreciate staying out late," The fox-like kwami told her wielder.

Sara frowned at the reminder, "dont remind me," instead of going home, she started walking towards the direction of the Agreste manor.

Earlier that evening:

After transforming back, Sara pulled out her phone and saw several missed calls from Aunt Marinette, "Why would she call me?" she dialed the number, "Hey, aunt Marinette, is there something the matter?"

"Thank goodness, you picked up," the older woman sounded relieved, "is Emma with you?"

"No, is she not at the academy? She told me she was going to attend today," Sara's gut was telling her that something was not so right was going on with her friend; it all begun on that grim Halloween night.

"No, she hasn't come back home since this afternoon,"

'That's bad," she thought, 'first Ladybug and Chat Noir and now Emma has also vanished,'

"Please call me immediately if you get in contact with her,"

"Dont worry, I will,"

Present time:

Sara was walking towards the Agretse Manor as she heard a voice call her name, "What was that?"

She looked at her surroundings tentatively, "Sara, I am behind you," the voice told her.

Sara spun on her feet and was shocked to see a red creature floating in the air; It resembled Trixx, minus the fox ears; it was red.

"my name is Tikki and I am Ladybug's Kwami and you must be Volpina,"

"What---"

"Hey, Tikki, fancy seeing you here," Trixx flew out of her pocket and hugged the red Kwami.

"Nice to meet you too, Trixx, but I am afraid we are running low on time,"

"Did Ladybug send you?" Tikki placed a one single earring on Sara's palm.

"Yes, she was captured by the Lady Papilion."

"the maniac causing all Akumas," She rubbed her eyes, "oh, this is bad,"

Trixx folded her arms, "Indeed it is, isn't it the time when calling the Miraculous guardian would be great?"

"She is right; we should meet the guardian. They are the only ones who can help us in this situation." She looked at both Kwami's, "tell me where they are,"
