Miraculous Hunters Rewritten: Book 1

Chapter 47: Pixelator Part 2

While Ladybug was heading out to Vincent's house to see if he really was Pixelator, Adrien and Chloé were still wandering around the white void. But much to Adrien's annoyance, Chloé was growing more and more irritating the longer they were trapped.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Chloé kept yelling, still trying to get through to her father with her phone while Adrien stood ahead of her to talk to Plagg with some form of privacy.

"Plagg, I gotta find some way to transform." Adrien whispered to his kwami, pulling his overshirt open the slightest bit to allow Plagg to poke his head out.

"Come on, what's the rush?" Plagg whined, hoping to get Adrien to take a break for once. But with the angry look Adrien gave him, the little cat kwami knew that wasn't going to happen. "Fine. If you insist, at least find me some cheese." the black kwami requested in resignation, right before Adrien looked back and saw Chloé coming towards him.

"I'm gonna see if there's a way out down there." Adrien reported, pushing Plagg back into his overshirt. "Don't go anywhere, it could be dangerous." the model warned, much to Chloé's sudden worry.

"Dangerous?" Chloé squeaked, cowering a bit at Adrien's words... which is exactly what he wanted to happen.

"You're not scared, are you?"Adrien slightly teased, glancing back at Chloé as he spoke

"Scared, moi? As if! No way!" Chloé denied, allowing Adrien to chuckle to himself in accomplishment as he ran to find a way out by leaving Chloé behind. Suddenly, his attempts were halted when Chloé screamed and ran to Adrien, jumping onto his back and pointing at a newly pixelated Fang as he occupied the spot she was in a moment ago. At the sight of the crocodile, Adrien was also scared and stood still out of shock.

'Can this day get any worse?' Adrien thought to himself as Chloé kept screaming her head off, not looking to get down from her spot on his back.

Back outside the white void, Pixelator had begun to follow the plan Hawkmoth had laid out and arrived at the top of the Champs-Élysées. Once he landed, he looked over at the edge and at the bustling streets below, still looking for Jagged Stone before his benefactor opened the psychic link between them again.

"Ah, the Champs-Élysées... Perfect." Hawkmoth crooned as he looked through Pixelator's eyes, taking in the monument in all its glory. "May the photoshoot begin." the crapier version of Heinz Doofenshmirtz ordered his akuma, prompting Pixelator to jump off the monument and land onto the ground with ease.

From there, he started to zap people and digitize them, hoping to draw Ladybug out of hiding so she could tell him where Jagged Stone was. But after zapping an angry driver out of his car, Pixelator's rampage was halted when he spotted someone snapping pictures of him from their car.

"Amateur." Pixelator critiqued before he zapped him, continuing to deliver his brand of chaos throughout the city.

While Pixelator was at the Champs-Élysées, Ladybug had finally arrived at Vincent Aza's house, soon entering his room and being greeted by a lot of photos of Jagged Stone on the walls.

"Oh, this isn't creepy at all." Ladybug muttered to herself as she walked into the room. But as she did, she suddenly stopped and spied photos of some very familiar people on the wall to her right. "What?" the spotted heroine quietly exclaimed before she walked to the wall and got a closer look at the photos. As she did, she soon saw many people trapped in the photos, Chloé and Adrien amongst them with the former screaming in terror.
