CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Tiffy is now grateful that Benji had invited him as a replacement for Andy. At first, Tiffy was uncomfortable with the idea but seeing how there is an akuma attack taking place, he was happy that he was close to the action. "I gotta go!" Benji had exclaimed running off.

"Benji!" Tiffy chased after Benji but the boy was faster than he had expected. Benji took a sharp turn and Tiffy followed, losing his footing and crashing into a child.  "Sorry," Tiffy helped the child up.

"Watching where you are fucking going!" The child, a boy around seven said, Tiffy stared at the child in shock and then turned to the kid's mother who was only glaring at him.

"I- right," Tiffy remembered what Renard had told him, kids there learn to swear before they turn three, usually Tiffy wouldn't take Renard's word for anything but he wasn't lying. "Bye."

Tiffy ran the way he had last seen Benji, he had lost him. Tiffy tried to swallow the taste in his mouth, he hasn't only Benji for long, only for three weeks to be exact but for the last week and a half Benji has been different, more on edge and Benji running off like that left a bad taste in his mouth. Benji is hiding something big and Tiffy can tell he is scared about whatever he is hiding. Tiffy sighed before running into the closest portable toilet, "Plagg, claws out."

"Akuma is the fortuneteller, Madame O'Dear. She got akumatised protecting Jorden High student Lee Stanford," Tartaruga informed grimly.

"How do you know all that?" Renard asked.

Tartaruga glared at Renard, Night Noir took note that Tartaruga wasn't in the mood to deal with people, every battle one of them seemed to be like that. "I ran into Lee, she told me about it all."

"She?" Renard repeated, the fox-themed hero's voice was barely above a whisper but thanks to Night's enhanced cat hearing he could hear it. Night doesn't know much about Lee but he knows that Lee is gender-fluid and usually uses he/him pronouns. Night didn't think much about Tartaruga, he probably doesn't know Lee usually prefers he/him, he thought to himself.

"Did Lee know the object?"

"Yeah," Tartaruga answered Night, seemingly slightly less annoyed at the question, "It was her crystal ball."

"In her tent?"

Tartaruga shook his head, "No, she took it with her."

"So we take her magic ball, easy enough." Night Noir wanted to agree but they didn't know Madame O'Dear, powers or anything.

Night looked around, they are Australia's largest annual event, which more than 82000 people visit daily (tiffy did some research after benji told him about the easter show) at least when they fought Oruga, Luna Park was close but now, it's midday and thousands of people are in danger. "We need to her."

"No duh, if we fight her here I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to sue us."

Night doubted someone would sue them but he didn't plan on testing that theory. "Hey! Ma- mad-" Night struggled to remember the word, 'it's madame o'dear' he heard Plagg tell him. "Thank you," Night muttered to Plagg. "Madame O'Dear!"

The akumatised villain turns to Night. "Great plan, what now?" Renard questioned.

"We run."

Night has done far too much running today. "Why are we running?" Souris ran up to Night, Tartaruga and Renard. "Where is everyone else?"

"We're moving Madame O'Dear out of the showgrounds."

"Oh, fun."

Night Noir glared at Souris with a look of confusion, in what world is running away from an akumatised victim considering run? "They coming."
