Sometimes We Just Need A Bit of Cheering Up

Gabriel Agreste

  "I need to make a sentimonster if I want my plan to work," I told Nathalie. My plan was to fake my death, and take advantage of Adrien's sadness. I'm going to need both Mayura and Hawk Moth for this. Nathalie looked at me with disappointment.
   "Are you sure you want to do that to your own son?" Asked Nathalie.
   "Yes. It's the only plan that I have that I'm sure will work," I told her. "He has a ring that neither Emilie or I gave him. I'm almost sure it's the Black Cat Miraculous."
   "Gabriel, sir, please reconsider. You realize that you could lose your son forever, right?" Nathalie asked. I started pacing around the room.

   "Well, do you have a better plan?"

   "No, but we could come up with a better one together!"

   "We don't have time for another plan! I just want my Emilie back, I miss her very much," I said.

   "We all do. But that doesn't mean you have to ignore your son and possibly lose him," she told me.

   "Well, we don't have another plan...", I let my voice trail off. "Deliver the news to Adrien. I'll create a Sentimonster of me with the Peacock Miraculous."

   "Yes, sir," Nathalie's voice quivered a little. I could hear the sadness and disappointment in her voice, but what else was I supposed to do? Once I was at the basement, I called Duusu, the peacock kwami. "Duusu, spread my feathers!"

   Suddenly, I felt this strong negative emotion. It feels familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

   "I feel something. I've felt it before, but it's quite strong this time," I said. This was the perfect opportunity for an akumatization. 

   "Nooroo, Duusu, unify!" Soon, I became ShadowMoth.

   I spread my hand open for a butterfly to land on my palm. With my other hand I close it and call the evilizing power.

   "A strong negative emotion. Something like sadness, anger. Fly away my little akuma and evilize him!" The akuma flew far, but when it got close to the guy, his emotions had faded away. They were gone. All I felt now was... happiness. Wait a minute. I feel more negative emotions. This person failed a test. What a perfect plan for an akuma and getting Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous.

   "Failure, I am ShadowMoth. I am giving you the power to make everyone who gets hit by you to be a failure. All I ask in return are Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous."

   "Yes, ShadowMoth." Finally, after countless fails and akumatizations, I will have both Miraculous in my hand.
