Chapter 11: Most likely

Emma's POV

Soon after that 'incident'*cough cough*, me and Alex officially got together. And needless to say, both our parents were delighted.

I swung towards the top Eiffel Tower, which had become our meeting place and where we analysed every akuma before fighting. Alex named himself Jade Turtle, and Hannah named herself Foxy Hopsy. And yes, don't even get me started on Hannah's name.

Elyn was beside me, running at the same speed. Without warning, Tikki suddenly sent me a message.

I remembered Tikki telling me, that kwamis can send their holders message from inside the miraculouses, but it ends up and like an instinct or a feeling that you should do something.

I suddenly felt that I detransform somehow. It must be really serious if Tikki wants me to detransform.

"Chat, Tikki wants me to detransform."

I looked at her puzzled expression. Obviously this was a shock as Tikki was always one of the most careful and serious ones other than Wayzz.

I stood on the Eiffel Tower as Foxy and Jade landed behind me. Elyn, being the quick one, had already found a place where I could detransform without being seen.

"Whats the akuma?" Jade immediately asked, not noticing my distress.

I dragged them both into the small room Elyn found. They stood there, looking a little shocked.

"Tikki wants me to detransform. Don't ask me why. Spots off, Tikki." I replied, not giving them time to react.

Tikki flew out of the earrings like usual. Floating in mid air she turned with a small frown and asked the rest of the team to detransform. All looking puzzled, Plagg suddenly tensed up.

"Tikki I suddenly have a really bad feeling about this akuma." Plagg picked up on Tikki's distress and started getting worried as well.

Tikki nodded, and her mood seemed to darken.

"You guys cover us. We need to see what this akuma is." She flew up to my shoulders and sat down.

Nodding, I walked out of the room, with the kwamis sitting on my shoulder, hidden by my hair. The team followed behind me as I turned towards the akuma. The akuma looked like a....mannequin? Tikki suddenly gasped as Trixx suddenly held onto my hair.

"Oh no.......... They can't fight this!" I heard Tikki gasp the worry in her voice.

Hearing the obvious panic in her voice, we dashed back into the little room, waiting for an explanation.

"We need to somehow fight it!"
"They can't fight it! Don't you understand?"
"They don't even have the powers!"

All four kwamis suddenly start panicking, leaving us humans baffeled.

"W-what do you mean by we can't fight it?"

All the kwamis suddenly goes silent.

"......I-if you fight it, y-you will.......m-most likely.....D-die............"

Holey crap that took a dark turn
