You're The Music That's Been Playing In My Head: Book 3

Gamer 2.0: Part 2

Marinette and I rush home to find Kitty Section already waiting for us so quickly I help her finish the t-shirts and pass them out to be fitted. Suddenly they all disappeared the t-shirts dropping to the floor. "What-" I start to ask before disappearing as well. I teleport into a small triangle that I can't get out of before realizing I was turning back into The Violinist but before I could even shout my transformation phrase to try and stop it, it was too late.

"What do you do when no one wants to play with you? You give them no choice. Ladybug, Chat Noir, (s/n). All of these people were once akumatized and then saved by you. If you want another chance at freeing them, you're gonna have to come and play with me," Marinette hears and turns to her screen to see Gamer 2.0 there. "I think you're gonna have to take that break Marinette." 

"Then it better be a quick one, there's still a lot to do. Tikki Spots On!" Ladybug rushes into town where a giant pyramid was taking up part of the city. "Hey there M'lady, we just waiting on (s/n)?" Chat asks as he lands. "She won't be joining us today." "What why-" Chat starts to say before recalling (s/n)'s identity and at one point she too had been akumatized. "First one who finds a way in wins," He jokes instead, earning him a glare. "We don't have time to play Chat Noir, I've got a ton of other things to do," That's when two smaller pyramids fly up to the two.

It opens up to reveal Gamer 2.0 on a screen. "So Ladybug and Chat Noir, ready to play? Wait where's (s/n)?" "Out sick today," Chat lies, and Gamer 2.0 shrugs. "Well, I just need you two, step into your pyra-pods." "What if it's a trap M'lady?" "No, I'm sure it's not, Gamer just wants to play. So keep in touch," They insert their earpieces in and step into the pyra-pods.

Upon entering the giant pyramid a giant platform was shown in the middle and they were given a pyra-pad. "Welcome to Miraculous All-Star Brawl. If you win, I'll set you free and all of them. But if you lose-" Gamer 2.0 starts to explain, showing the huge character selection of akumatized people when Ladybug cuts him off. "I don't have time to lose Gamer, let's begin and get this over with." "Your hastiness will be your downfall Ladybug," The two choose characters: The Mime vs. Riposte.

Ready? Fight! 

"I'm gonna slice you into sashimi!" Riposte starts attacking and Mime mimes a wall to block the attack but was causing him to slowly be pushed to the edge. "Wouldn't you be better off with miming a Chat Noir to lend you a helping paw M'lady?" Chat jokes, annoying Ladybug in the process. "I know what I'm doing!" She shouts before The Mime stumbles back, the illusion broken.

"Be careful the mimed object disappears if you talk," She mimes a sword to push Riposte back before retorting, "Thank you Captain Obvious," The two sword fight for a bit before Mime hits Riposte with a bat and while she was down he mimicked LB's yoyo, grabbing Riposte and throwing her off the platform with a vocal goodbye.

Ring out! Mime wins!

Chat compliments her strategy and LB demands to be set free since she won, Gamer 2.0 soon laughing. "A game with just one round? Where's the fun in that Ladybug? It doesn't end until we've battled all the characters in the game." "But that'll take forever!" "That's the best part about it, the longer the better," Ladybug pouts while Chat excitedly mulls over his options, only getting him yelled at. "Hurry up and choose Copycat so you can cataclysm the game so we can get back home!"

"Fine if we need to hurry this up," He chooses Mr. Pigeon. "I've always wanted to train pigeons," Gamer 2.0 laughs as he chooses Dark Cupid. "There aren't any pigeons in the stadium," Mr. Pigeon uses the bird call and up flies a pigeon. "There's one and I'mma call him Fiery Pheonix," Mr. Pigeon starts dodging Dark Cupid's attacks. Fiery Pheonix reigns down from above while Dark Cupid was distracted, giving Mr. Pigeon the chance to drag him out of the air, steal the akumatized object and break it.

Mr. Pigeon wins!

"Can we play the match in one go?" "Then it wouldn't be fun, we've got so many rounds left plus the finale. "If you ask me this was never fun," Ladybug takes her turn as Befana but lost to Dark Owl. Chat excitedly picks Reflekta to go against Rogercop and wins after transforming him into a clone and pushing him off the ledge. "They see me catwalking, they hatin'."

After getting reprimanded yet again by Ladybug for having fun, she rushes into her turn and loses again. "You're the one who wanted to speed things up and now you're going to lose even faster than you thought," Gamer 2.0 taunts. "WE WILL NOT LOSE!" She takes Chat's turn and continues to lose the match again. "Uh, M'lady? Is it ok if we review your strategy just a tad?"
