Miraculous: Tales of Ms. Ladybug and Tom Cat

Part 9: A Helping Paw

As she swung from building to building, Emilie eventually came across the scene. From the rooftop she stood on, she could see a giant rose bush had covered the Eiffel Tower and giant blossoms had covered the sides. The current Ladybug wasn't here yet, but Emilie knew she wouldn't be far behind. Hopefully, her brother had the common sense to try to stop Cat Noir...

"What's up, Ladybug?" a familiar voice said. Frustrated, she looked behind to find her brother, in a black jumpsuit, and a black mask on his face. Cat ears protruded from his dark hair and lenses had turned his eyes green. A little bell was around his neck, and around his waist was a belt that looked similar to a tail. Emilie seethed with frustration.

"Please tell me you were able to stop the current Cat Noir from coming here," she said through closed teeth.

"Well, no but," he didn't get the chance to finish that statement due to him being punched in the face and knocked

"You dummy! You've jeopardized everything! And for what?! The chance to play superhero?!"

"You never let me finish," Thomas said. "I tried to stop him. But it was no use. We got separated in the attack by the roses." The young cat picked himself up and brushed himself off. "Besides. What was I gonna do? Let Mom and Dad get killed?"

Emilie groaned. "Just stay behind and keep your focus. Hopefully, Mom and Dad can take her no problem."

"Need I remind you that this villain took the entire Miraculous Squad to take care of?" Thomas said, "And last I checked, they're not around."

"We can't risk changing the past, Thomas! We just need to wait and see!"

Emilie then viewed the scene. Ladybug swung in, yo-yo in hand, attempting to trap the villain at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Cat Noir was busy trying to hold off the vines as Ladybug ascended the tower. Suddenly, a vine shot up and attempted to grab Ladybug's ankle. Cat Noir, being noble and incredibly protective, jumped and got in the vine's way before it could grab Ladybug. He was then dragged down into the foliage.

"No!" she turned to Thomas. "Dad's been taken! Get him! I'll see if I can help Mom!"

"Oh so now you want to alter the past."

"Just go!"

Wasting no time, Thomas used his staff to jump through the foliage to Cat Noir's current location. It didn't look good. Cat Noir was holding them off but was quickly being grappled and pulled down. Thomas jumped in.

"Need a helping paw Mr. Cat?" Thomas said, grinning at him.

Chat Noir looked up in astonishment as Thomas grabbed his hand and pulled him away onto a rooftop.

"You ok Cat Noir?" Thomas asked

"Yeah. But this villain is a real thorn in my side" he said, picking himself up. "I don't know where you came from but I definitely needed that rescue. Thanks for that." He then looked at Thomas's costume. "Hey, you've got a pretty nice costume."

"Thanks," Thomas said. "But we need to move. The Ladybugs are in trouble."

"Ladybugs?" Cat Noir said "as in two? I must've died and gone to heaven!"

"Sorry Cat Man, but you can't die just yet. We gotta go. Unless you want Rose Queen here to get her vines all over your lady."

"No plants are gonna take my Lady! Let's go!"

The two cats jumped off the roof and went to rescue their Ladybugs.
