Miraculous Dragonus (Lila Rossi x Male Reader)

Arc 03: Chapter 03: With the Return of the Queen, You Can Be

"Hey there, m'lady." Cat Noir greeted as Ladybug and Vesperia landed next to him. "I'm guessing this is our new Queen Bee?"

"You bet. Call me Vesperia." the new heroine replied, flashing a 'v' sign. Cat Noir smirked as he took her free hand. "Thrilled to make your acquaintance, Vesperia." He said right before kissing her hand.

Vesperia smirked back, her amusement plain on her face. "Thrilled to meet you, too, kitten."

"She's certainly something." Cat Noir remarked. Ladybug smiled lightly as she gave an innocent shrug. "I'm always choosing the best people for the job." Then her smile vanished. "Shouldn't Antibug have shown up by now?"

"Maybe she decided to attack Sacré-Coeur?" Cat Noir suggested. Then Vesperia tensed, drawing her top. "Or maybe she was waiting for us to show up! Move!" She yelled as she shoved the other heroes out of the path of a rocket Antibug fired before leaping aside herself.

Antibug growled from her perch atop the roof of the Louvre. "So, you just replaced me!? With that... that cheap copy of Queen Bee!?" Her sneer didn't leave her face as Shadow Moth opened a link. "Don't let them escape! Once I have Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, you can have the Bee!" He promised.

"I don't want the Bee Miraculous! Not anymore!" She snarled as she reloaded her rocket launcher. Shadow Moth let out a sigh of exasperation in her mind. "Fine. Just get me their Miraculouses!" The link cut off right as Antibug fired at Ladybug again. Omegabug hissed, creating twin rocket launchers on its underside as it flew into action, firing at Cat Noir and Vesperia.

"Ugh, is that what a ladybird's face looks like up close?" Vesperia commented in disgust as she leapt away from the missile.

Cat Noir grunted as he dodged his missile. "I wish this one didn't look so realistic!" He extended his staff so far he hit the underside of the sentimonster's head. Omegabug bellowed in pain and fired more rockets off erratically, forcing Cat Noir and Vesperia to dodge.

Ladybug managed to deflect the shots Antibug fired and rushed the villainess, her yoyo twirling as she lashed out at the rocket launcher. Right as the yoyo was about to snag the weapon, Antibug dissipated the weapon in a cloud of blackish-red sparkles, the yoyo whipping harmlessly past her head.

"I can't wait to see the look on your face when I take your Miraculous and erase you from existence!" Antibug snarled as she summoned a jetpack with a single missile extending from the top. Firing her thrusters, Antibug lashed out with her yoyo as she dive-bombed Ladybug, who could barely dodge and deflect each vicious attack. Rolling away from the continuous assault, Ladybug swung her yoyo towards Antibug's jetpack, managing to find purchase on the missile and started pulling the villainess to the ground. Antibug only scoffed and fired the missile into the sky, taking Ladybug - who realized she made a horrible mistake - with it.

-------------------------------------

" This is getting boring, " Vorath complained, his words echoing in his holder's mind. " Can't you go and absorb that new bee's power? Or maybe punt Antibug into the horizon? She can't weigh more than eighty pounds. "

"You and I both know we already have the power of the Bee Miraculous." Dragonus replied. "While I would like to be certain of her identity, there's only so many people Ladybug would pick from and she's already planned the Miraculouses for all of them. And besides, that accent? Obviously the new girl."

" You still should be certain. Remember Dom-? "

"Yes, I remember that, thank you very much." Dragonus snarled. "You should remember that we agreed not to talk about that ." Luckily for him, right before trauma reared its ugly head again, Dragonus spotted Ladybug flying past on the missile Antibug fired. Despite its black-and-red color scheme, he recognized the type. A few more moments and Ladybug wouldn't be able to safely drop. Or drop in one piece.
