Hawkmoth's Challenge //A Percy Jackson and Miraculous Ladybug Crossover//

Blackout*

Ladybug's POV

It was Physics at school when an akuma attack hit the city. I was quite disgruntled. Today was one of the few days in which I actually have fun at school, and I was hoping I would be able to complete it.

But nooooo, this stupid person just had to get akumatised and ruin my day. I sighed as I joined the crowd going out of the classroom. The teacher was saying something, but I didn't pay attention as I was distracted by the gut feeling that something unusual was going to happen today.

I had landed on the top of the Louvre a few minutes after Chat. I had taken a detour to arrive there from a different direction, so Chat doesn't realise where I come from. This time, my detour served a different purpose. It had revealed dark patches in the streets of Paris, where sunlight should illuminate the areas, but wasn't.

When I reached there, Chat turned to me with worry written in his green eyes. "What is happening?" I asked him.

"No idea. I have never seen anything like this before." He said, looking out to the city with worry written in his green eyes. There was silence for a few moments, and then Chat shook his head and started again.

"The Akuma's name is Blackout. From what I have seen, he has the ability to turn any place he touches black, so even light cannot penetrate it."

I was confused. "What do you mean 'any place he touches?'" "I mean that if he touches an area on a wall or pavement, the place becomes dark. Light, artificial or natural, can't bring light there."

I thought about it for a little while, then something struck me. "Have you seen the akumatised victim himself?" I asked Chat.

He looked at the sky, then squinted around him, and finally shook his head. The pieces clicked together in my head.

"We need to find him as quickly as possible." I said, pulling on Chat's arm.

"Why?" He asked, sliding his arm out of my grasp. "Is it about school? Because I really don't want to-"

"No, this isn't about school." I interrupted. "We need to find him as he is invisible." Seeing Chat's puzzled face, I sighed. I really didn't have time, but I needed him to understand if we were going to do this as a team.

"See. Blackout is dark. This means that he can camouflage himself in the dark patches. To make this worse, I also suspect that he looks like a wisp of black smoke, so it is going to be extra difficult to find him. The more time he roams free, he will increase the area covered, and that will make it more difficult for us to find him." Behind us, a dull THUNK! shook the air, and I turned around "Galaxy!" I called out. "Couldn't you have come five minutes earlier so I wouldn't have to repeat it?!"

"I was scouting." Galaxy said simply. "And don't worry, I heard everything. I know what's going on" She turned to Chat. "Ladybug's right. We need to find Blackout as soon as possible." She smiled. "And fortunately for that, I have thought of a few friends. Shall we go to the Eiffel tower?"

I really didn't want to, but Galaxy assured us that it will be better if we did. Soon Chat also agreed, so now I had no choice but to go with them. When we reached, I saw the new students from our class there. Percy, Annabeth and Leo.

"Hey guys, I got them." Galaxy called out. "Let's continue with the plan."

" Whoa- whoa- whoa..." Chat said as we landed beside her. "Who are these guys? How can they help us? Do they have any superpowers that they could help us with? No right? Plus, they are from America, so we will be held responsible if anything happens to them. They should be in their hotel now! Safe!"

"Wait-" Percy interjected, eyeing Chat suspiciously. "How do you know that we are from America?"

Chat looked sheepish. He opened and closed his mouth again twice, rather like a goldfish. "You are underestimating them." Galaxy said, saving Chat from his awkward silence. "They can do plenty, and there is no time to make introductions. As Ladybug said, we need to find Blackout ASAP. Now, let's get on with the planning!" She stretched her fingers. "Ladybug, perhaps you could call your lucky charm?"

I looked at her. "Now? are you sure? Because-"

"Yeah, I have a feeling that we would need it right now."

I nodded, took out my yo-yo, and- LUCKY CHARM! What fell into my hands, was..... A candle.

"A candle? But Chat, didn't you say that nothing could light the dark patches? Neither artificial or natural light? So, why this?" I held up the candle.

"Did you try magic?" Leo piped up. I faltered.

"What-" I started, but Galaxy interrupted me with a thoughtful "Hmmmm, that could work." She jogged over to the nearest dark corner, which was a short distance away, and we followed her.

Being a fashion designer, I couldn't help but notice and marvel at the way how comets streaked across the fabric of her dress when she moved. When she reached it, she dipped the end of her staff to the dark corner, so the flames could light the place up. And to our astonishment, they did.

"Magic flames can light the darkness." She whispered, and then turned to us. "Hold out your candle please." She instructed me. I did so. She dipped her staff and lit my candle with the fire. The flames glowed blue with undertones of pink and green, unlike most candle flames, that burned yellow.

Galaxy smiled. "The fire is infused by magic now. It won't flicker or burn out. They will glow until you transform back. I think we should split up. We will cover more distance that way. Ladybug and Chat Noir, you're a group, Leo and Percy, you are one, and me and Annabeth will go together."

"Wait." Chat Noir interrupted. "Percy and Leo? How will they see? They don't have magical fire." Galaxy turned towards them. "They know what to do, they'll manage. Now let's go!"
