The CDC High School Adventures V4: A Secret Friend

Level 7: Despair of the Heart PT1

-Beneath Agreste Mansion-

Hawk Moth had been absolutely livid by what had just occurred. Yet again, one of his akumatized victims had been defeated by Ladybug and Cat Noir and with the help of Asta, Noelle Sliva and the Cross Dimension Crew.

Hawk Moth couldn't help but growl at this, "Curse you, Ladybug and Cat Noir. You may have added The Cross Dimension Crew, That boy with the sword and a Silva in your party. But just wait, I'll get those Miraculous and the boy just yet!" He gave a sigh before he added, "At this rate, I'll never get her akuma to evolve with these Heroes standing in my way! If only there was an opponent that could go toe to toe with them! But who?"

"--I don't want to be alone..."

Hawkmoth had been taken back by the voice of a girl. "What's this I hear?"

He heard it come again.

"I don't want to be left in the dark... I don't want to go back... Accel... How could you forget our promise? Why won't you say anything to me?"

Hawk Moth soon said, as he listened to the girl sob, "Accel..I've heard that name before..." He soon recalled where he had heard it, "That's right, Cherry Blossom, she called him that. Could it be—The boy that Yami—"

It wasn't long before he heard the voice of a child, "Accel! How could you do this to her?! I won't forgive you! I'll never forgive you for abandoning her!"

Hawk Moth soon gave a chuckle as he had come to realize something, "I see...It's all coming together..That child, she's affectionate for Accelerator though it seems like he's not returning the favor. And the little one, I can feel her anger for him for hurting that girl. They're both perfect prey--For my little akumas."

A pair of white butterflies flew towards him as they both landed in the palm of his hand. Within a few moments, the white butterflies had changed into dark purple butterflies.

"Go my little akumas!" He said, allowing them to fly towards the window, "AND EVILIZE THEM!"

The moment Yami arrived with Accelerator, the doctors had put him in quarantine to prevent his roommate from getting sick; true Yami did tell the doctors that he wasn't sick anymore, but they had to take precautions.

Right now, most of Cherry's group had been outside of the room he had slept in, having only a window to see him. Along with them had been most of the Cross Dimension Crew as they had arrived a little later. Cherry had explained the situation to her friends, and needless to say they were shocked.

"A SURPRISE PARTY!?" Most of them shouted.

"That's what this was all about!?" Applejack said.

"Well, not at first." Cherry replied with a nervous smile, "It started off with Accel and I finding a Winnie the Pooh Bear doll for his and Touma's friend Journey."

Pinkie pouted as she said while taking her hands, "Cherry! You know you could have called me for that! You know how good I am with planning parties."

"I know, I know, and I'm sorry for not saying anything at first." Cherry said to Pinkie, patting her hands, "But, Accel said he didn't want me to say anything to all of you. He didn't tell me why, but--"

"But?" Maka said, motioning her to continue.

"I don't know why, but--" Cherry started to say, "--It seemed like... He was scared of something. I didn't want to pry about it, so I didn't ask anything more about it."
