When the Cat Met the Wolf

2. Of Cats & Wolves

Upon hearing the scream, they looked around frantically, trying to see its source. Until they found it.

There was a girl dressed in violet, with an umbrella that was throwing what seemed ice. Arianne opened her eyes wide.

"Sorry, I gotta go!" she said hurriedly and stood up.

"Yeah, me, too!" replied Adrien, and they both went in opposite directions. She made sure to be away from curious eyes, before opening her bag, where Ayu was hiding in.

"Ayu, transform me!"

Ayu was sucked into the violet hairpin, turning it silver, as a blue light engulfed Arianne.

She grabbed an end of a blue ribbon and wrapped it around herself with a spin, making her outfit, tights and shoes included, appear. Then, she lifted her hands across her eyes, and a grey mask materialized on her face. A blue light outlined her hair, and turned it white and very long. Arianne ran a hand through her new hair, making her wolf ears appear; wolf prints shaped the outline of her tail, making it appear, too.

Holding her violin in one hand and bow in the other, she was now Loup d'Argent.

"Who is that girl?!" she asked, running behind her "I mean, I know she is akumatized, but...what happened to her?" she propelled herself up one of the buildings with her bow to keep an eye on the girl, while looking around "And where are my partners?" she then heard someone landing on the street in front of her; it was Chat Noir "Don't cats always land on their feet?" she questioned, hanging her violin from her back and jumping down to approach her partner. She stuck her hand out to help him up.

"Well, thanks, but I got it covered" he said confidently, before placing a kiss on her hand, to which she just rolled her eyes, used to it already.

Little detail: Chat Noir/Adrien was in love with Loup d'Argent, and she didn't know. Adrien hadn't told Arianne.

"Of course you did...and where is that bug?" she asked out loud, looking for their Ladybug partner. They then saw her approaching them from the street.

"There you are, m'lady! We were starting to wonder if you bailed on us" said Chat Noir.

"Sorry, I got delayed trying to help some friends out of ice" she explained, and Stormy Weather then appeared.

"We should be expecting minor storms like...right now!" she aimed her umbrella towards the sky, and lightning bolts came out of it. The blue sky was immediately covered by dark clouds, and a lightning bolt came down, straight towards Chat Noir.

"Be careful!" yelled Loup d'Argent, grabbing him and jumping away from the line of fire. She landed on the street, with Chat Noir on top of her, who smiled suggestively at her. She just rolled her eyes "I thought you had it covered" Chat Noir stood up, and helped his partner up, too.

"You okay?" asked Ladybug with concern, and they nodded, before turning back to Stormy Weather.

"You just won yourself a cat fight!" said Chat Noir, running straight towards her, while the other two stayed behind.

"You think this is gonna work?" asked Loup d'Argent, looking at her friend.

"Honestly?" asked Ladybug "Not really"

"Black ice!" yelled Stormy Weather, aiming at the floor with her umbrella, and turning it into ice. She then shot strong gusts of wind towards the trio, who were blown away. Ladybug wrapped her yoyo around a light pole, and held Chat Noir from the tail, while Loup d'Argent dug her bow into the street and held onto it firmly 'till the wind stopped, and all three of them hit the ground with a groan.
