THE BITCH; my interpretations

since there’s almost nothing known about her I decided to create some headcanons about her, mostly with her relationship with the Dude.

besides some personal opinions I take from base what is shown in games, movies and such.

pd: this is not really important but since there are a few little mention I warn that I headcanon Dude to have DID (without diagnose) and he’s the same guy in every game.

if instead of a hyphen there’s a star it’s to address DID in Dude (ALSO about that; I don’t have DID myself so all I know is from research I’ve done myself so if there’s something wrong please tell me!).

[ tw // mentions of abusive relationships, sex, use of drug and the usage of the word "maybe" a bit too much ]

✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪

— Born and raised in Paradise.

— From the outside her family was pretty normal: father, mother and a younger sister. But on the inside it was something else.

— Her father worked a lot and was almost never at home. Since her mother didn’t had a job (or when she got one she got easily fired because of her temper) he did a lot of extra hours.

I think their parents would either fight a lot but still would never get divorced. Maybe they genuinely loved each other and that’s how they were used to speak when angry, so The Bitch really normalized the fights (never went further than screams and discussions, MAYBE some broken object).

— Whatever it was, who always won those fights was her mother (probably her father gave up to humour her so they didn't fight again), and that stuck up with her.

— The Bitch’s mother: “Never get married, it’s one of the worst mistakes you can do”.

That’s why her mother never liked the idea of her marrying Dude, either that or she saw him and went “with him???”.

— Pretty sure her mom loves her and does the best she can to raise her and really never treated her badly, but still she’s pretty much a disaster with everything else (or in general).

That's the main reason why she moved with her at the end of “Apocalypse Weekend”.

— Even before The Bitch and Dude got together, leaving Commander Hardrock pretty hurt, they already couldn’t stand each other, always fighting and annoying the other but not in a “siblings who fight but still love each other” way, like literally fighting.

— I have the feeling that her mother had a preference for her over Commander Hardrock and, assuming “Hardrock” it’s not a nickname, she’s using another surname because really, she despites both of them. Maybe I’m looking a bit too into but MAYBE because she was more tomboy-ish/butch and both The Bitch and their mom were more “feminine” found her kinda weird?

— I also think The Bitch is a bit similar to their mother, both personality and in appearance.

— Anyway, returning with The Bitch, she has narcissistic tendencies and anger issues, either learned of growing up seeing her mother treating her father like that or it's just in her blood.

— Is not really close to her father. He was there but also a bit distant because when he got home he was so tired nobody could move him from the couch.

— Has never gone to therapy and I don’t think she even bothered.

— “Therapy? Are you calling me crazy or what?”

— She didn’t go to university: studying was never really her thing so she took jobs here and there since her late teens. I don’t think she’s really clever or liked to study.

— I also don’t think she was in any category during high school. Not one of the populars but also not one with the weirdos. She just existed, with her friends and not much more.

— She really likes sweets, especially those who have some glazing and such like donuts.

— Meet the Postal Dude after a while he got out of the mental hospital and got married pretty quickly with the bad luck that they were still in their honeymoon phase.

★ P2 was the one in charge, and P1 wasn’t entirely dormant (I think after they got out of the asylum P1 was around for a while yet not really active) and P3 didn’t even existed yet.

★ Honestly both of them had mixed feelings about it. P1 felt something was a bit off but he also craved for that attention and care she showed, winning over that strange feeling. P2 is not as sensitive as P1 can be, but he had to admit he also liked that somebody liked him and damn, she wasn’t bad looking either so…

— I mean, who gets a tattoo with the name of their partner? Too many people, I know. And how many times ends up being a mistake? Pretty usually too (at least from what I’ve seen with my family/friends).

— After that phase ended they realized they pretty quickly they disliked the other and that didn't had a lot in common either.

— I think things went something like this: Dude gets out of the asylum, besides Uncle Dave and recently Champ he doesn’t has nobody else, he meets this woman who’s pretty and the only one who has shown some interest/affection to him (love bombing), he falls from her and well, the rest is history.

In case somebody imagines Dude as an aromantic person (I can see it too, but it’s not my case) I think he has confused love with validation, and the fact that now he’s now in a broken marriage also makes him resentful to her too. If she was a better person, or at least somebody who would treat him decently he wouldn’t feel so bad about it. Maybe a bit uncomfortable, but not to the point to feel like he’s in hell.

I also think that, whatever the case is, Uncle Dave motivated him to take that step thinking it would be good for him somehow (he was so wrong).

★ That’s when P1 went dormant and left P2 alone, not wanting to deal with her and the world in general.

P2, of course, if he wasn't already resentful that he did the same during the time they spend at the asylum, imagine when he disappeared completely this time. He was pretty much angry of trying to deal with his shit, but what else could he do?

After all, he also accepted marrying her too.

— Maybe she also started to date him because she was bored too, or because was the only person who tolerated her (I headcanon Dude as a pretty passive person, not to the point of being a people pleaser, maybe P1 could be but not P2, but still rather shut up and take the shit than fight back, specially at the beginning... sounds familiar?).

— Both really wanted to make it work, really, but with somebody who doesn’t knows her habits are toxic to a relationship (or she’s conscious and doesn’t cares, which makes it worse) and the other one who instead of dumping her stays there since he doesn’t knows any better and isn’t really experienced in relationships (at least from what I think) I don’t really think anything good can come out from there.

— Thinks could also have been something like:

Dude: “I’m mentally ill, literally got out from an asylum”

The Bitch: “It’s okay”

Dude: *show signs of being mentally ill*

The Bitch: “Uh stop? Can you not??”

Aaand that’s another point that I MAYBE, just MAYBE, could have affected in having a more sane relationship. I don’t know about y’all but if I couldn’t express how I feel or what’s bothering me relating to my mental health I would feel pretty bad about it. But hey, just maybe.

— After the wedding and since they live in a trailer maybe they traveled a bit, looking for differect jobs and such (also avoiding paying taxes too) and after some time they move again to Paradise because Dude got a job at RWS.

— They both do drugs together, one of the few moments I think they would be cool with the presence of the other.

— (tw: sex and cheating mentione) Just like in the movie I think that at the end of their relationship she cheated on him, just like in the film. That’s why he catches gonorrhea. And you may ask “and what if he was the one cheating on her?” that's a possibility too, yeah, but gonorrhea symptoms usually appear between the second or seventh day the person has been infected, and in the game we control Dude for the whole week while she stays on the trailer (and locks him out too). Also in the film she’s the one cheating on her.

— [ I’m really sorry if it sounds like I’m trying to defend the Postal Dude TuT it’s really not my intention ]

— Okay here’s another thing that might change the perspective: maybe before they got married he promised her he would change, implying he would take his medicines, the trailer thing was temporary, etc. Maybe he promised her they would have a happy ending, living in a real house, he would get a stable job, etc. But then she sees he’s not doing anything he promised to her. Months pass and he can keep up a job for more than a month or two. He wastes his money on drugs instead of his medicine. She would get tired, and it’s completely normal, that’s when The Bitch became more distant with him, resentful even. She sees herself stuck in a loveless marriage with a guy who’s a disaster and doesn’t love her, that he’s just with her because… sex? Some company? I dunno. There’s when she started to get more aggressive towards him, making Dude do everything since he didn’t do shit on a daily basis.

That’s a possibility too, but since we don’t know a lot of stuff and what we see in her being a bitch (ba-dum tiss) with him in almost every media it can be for both reasons: she was a pain in the ass from the beginning or maybe he’s always been the problem. They both are, that’s for sure, but maybe one of them is more to blame than the other.

But seeing how everybody is tired of her bullshit (her own sister, Dude and Madcow Mike J) and if you play pacifist Dude is literally just a regular guy in a town of crazy people maybe she fucked up a bit more in terms or relationship.

— Even if I think she’s not really a good person Dude is not a saint either (regardless of which Dude are we talking about and/or they way we’re controlling them), actually far from that, but it’s seen that he actually tries during their marriage (maybe because he doesn’t wants to fight with her, maybe because he still feels something for her -which I doubt considering how he reacts to her dumping him in “Paradise Lost”-, I dunno). In the second game he does all those errands for her and even runs away in “Paradise Lost” instead of, I dunno, kill her in the first instance? And the fact that he tried to kill himself instead of killing her by the end of “Postal 2”? Yeah.

— Also, the end of “Paradise Lost”? Where she technically dies? I think both are canon.

What I mean with that is, the normal ending you get is what she told Dude in pure rage, but after a moment where he leaves her behind (in a moment I’ll come back to that in a moment) she’s starting to regret how she treated him. Sure, he’s an ass in a lot of things, but hey he tried a bit at least. And then she has a breakdown.

— Then Madcow MikeJ kills her because, I mean, it wouldn’t be pretty if your new wife was crying about her ex husband. Maybe killing her wasn’t the best solution but what do you want me to say they’re Paradise citizens lol.

— That’s why in “Postal 4: No Regerts” there’s a sign in Edensin that says Mike J has killed his ex wife (or that’s what the wiki says, I haven’t played the fourth game myself haha) and that’s why the Dude asks her younger sister how’s The Bitch doing.

✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪

aaand that’s all for now, I have others for Dude but I think he’s a bit more complex than her because uh, he’s literally the protagonist and The Bitch only appears in 2 games without counting mentions.

I dunno, I tried to show how I view her a bit.

pd 2: not the first time that I write headcanons but the first time posting them, so excuse me if I don’t explain myself really well (or if there are any typos) and uh if I miss characterize any of the character.

please let me know that last part, I would hate that and I think I have a tiny tendency of doing so :’).

#postal headcanons #the bitch postal #postal dude #postal 2 #postal #postal dude headcanons #It's my first time posting headcanons aaa I'm kinda anxious #PLEASE let me know if I miss characterized somebody a bit too much :(#posting this before going to bed so maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and regret every single thing that I said #btw these are just my interpretations #i genuinely tried

My friend came up with an actual plausible explanation for Cye getting POTS…when everyone was captured, Talpa tortured them. His body’s response was that.

Have a fanfic about it.

Lots of Sage taking care of Cye. Worried Kento. Rowen x Cye but not a ton of romance more of just its stated.

He didn't remember how he got to the bathroom, only that he woke up on the cold tile feeling sick to his stomach. He pushed himself up and leaned over just in time to get sick again. The meal he'd eaten came up and he shuddered trying to breathe through his nose.

He tried to force himself to stand but his body felt so heavy and wasn't listening to his commands. He only fell back slightly to lean against the wall trying to catch his breath.

Had he passed out again?

Is that why he was on the floor?

The last real memory he had before waking up was curling up in bed beside Rowen, then waking up not long after his stomach aching, a big wave of nausea had hit. He had gotten up and tried to run to the bathroom not wanting to make a mess but then his memory went black.

There was a pain on the side of his face and he was starting to realize he had passed out. He had blacked out before getting sick.

His heart beat was so loud in his ears as he tried not to panic. He knew he needed to get help but didn't want to wake anyone. A darkness started to take over his vision and the bathroom blurred, his surroundings started to turn swirling around him spinning so fast that he couldn't reach out and find something to grab.

His mind was feeling foggy and he couldn't speak, he couldn't call for help.

No. NO. He was going to black out again. He had to lay down. Why wasn’t his body listening to him. A numbness started to spread throughout his body starting from his feet and moving up quickly, his head dropped to side as he blacked out, the last thought he had was that he was going to hit the tile again.

*~*

Rowen reached out in his sleep to feel for the smaller warrior that he been curled up beside him. His hand touches a pillow then sheets and he forces himself to open his eyes. "Cye?" He looks around the room half expecting him to be sleep walking from a nightmare… after what they had all been through, it made sense to experience something like that.

Instead he got an empty room.

The two of them had gotten close during the second battle with Talpa and now shared a room and were officially "together". Every night since they had been rescued, Cye stayed curled up as close as he could to Rowen's side, so for him not to be there was strange.

He sat up and moved to the edge of the bed, his foot kicking something soft. "What the?" He bends down and picks up a stuffed killer whale. He turns to look back at the bed one more time to make sure that Cye wasn't still there and just sleeping on the opposite end of the bed.

He stands up and hurries out of the room trying to figure out where he would have gone. He checked Kento's room first, after all he and Cye had shared it for almost a year prior. It would make sense if Cye got lost in a nightmare that he'd wind up there.

The other bed was empty and as he walked closer, he didn’t see Cye curled up beside the bearer of Hardrock either. He takes a deep breath before he starts to leave the room.

"Ro? What are you doing in here, man? Was I snoring too loudly?"

He startles at hearing the other's voice. Did he dare bring Kento into this? "…I-I was lookin' for Cye." He backed up as the other warrior sat up rubbing his eyes. "You don’t have to join, he probably just went down to get some tea…"

"Or he had a nightmare and is stuck in it somewhere in the house. It happened a lot after that first big fight with Talpa and he had a bad one before we knew where you were.." Kento forced himself to his feet unable to hide a groan, his body was still sore from the final battle and from being held captive. "I'm comin', I'll help look."

The bearer of Strata looks away embarrassed that he didn't realize that about the water bearer. He knew he had nightmares, he just didn't know how often. "Kento, you don't have to. I just thought maybe he came in here out of habit and-"

They both went quiet at hearing a thud coming from the hallway bathroom. Rowen ran out of the room reaching the bathroom first. He pushed the door open but couldn't get it open completely, it hit something or someone. He reached in and flicked on the light, his eyes widened.

Cye was unconscious on the ground, blood on the tile and a mess in the toliet. He had to get in there somehow.

"Cye!? Cye, buddy can you hear me?" He calls at first softly. Then he doesn't get a response and tries again louder, "CYE?! C'mon, wake up. I need you to move." He kneels down and squeezes the bare foot that was in the way of the door hoping to get some sort of response.

As he did he felt a fast heart beat.

Cye was unconscious.

He takes a deep breath before manueivering the limp body until he get the door open. He then opens the door and crawls in right as Kento makes it to the door. "Kento, go get Sage. We need the first aid kit."

"W-What?! Hold on - Cye are you…" Kento trails off at seeing the blood on his friends head and face. His eyes widen before he runs off calling for their healer.

Rowen holds the other warrior in his arms, letting him lay against his chest. He reaches up pulling down one of the towels hanging off the towel rack then presses it against the pale forehead. He dabs the blood away quickly trying to see what he was dealing with.

He let out a loud sigh of relief, it wasn't a big injury but it would need to be wrapped up for a day until the armor healed him or until Sage used Halo.

He sat back leaning against the cabinets trying to calm himself down so he could think through this logicially. His free hand dropped onto the small back rubbing it reassuringly as if the other could feel it, "…i-it's okay buddy. I'm here…I-I'm here."

He looks up hearing Kento's voice coming down the hallway, "Dude I don't know but his head was bleedin'. He was out too. Rowen was holdin' him up. He needs help."

Then he heard a second set of foot steps before the other two appeared in the doorway to the bathroom. Sage stepped in first, his eyes widening at seeing the scene in front of him. He steps over kneeling in front of Rowen, reaching out to check on the youngest warrior. "Rowen… what happened?"

"I dunno. I woke up and he wasn't beside me. Woke up Kento to get help in finding him a-and we heard a thunk and came in here… he hit his head, its not bad but he'll have a headache later. We need to clean it and wrap it up, unless you think you can heal it with Halo."

Gently the blonde reached out and turned Cye's head so he could see. "He banged it up real good. What was he doing in here anyway?"

Kento paced behind them impatiently waiting for some sort of answer. "I mean what else do ya do in the bathroom?"

"If that were the case, he'd be in a different position. This is something different…" Sage stands to set the first aid kit on the sink and notices the mess in the toliet, "He got sick."

"…again?"

Both Rowen and Sage glance over to Kento, "Woah, what do ya mean again?"

"H-He hasn't been able to keep a lot of food down. I caught him throwing up breakfast this morning, then Ryo told me the same thing happened again at lunch. I-I didn't think anything of it, I mean… the upset stomach he's been havin' all week….we're recovering from fighting an evil warlord emperor, I thought anything could happen." Kento rambled nervously. "And he ate a lot at dinner, so I thought that was that.."

Sage rips open an alchol swab before kneeling down and wiping off the small cut. He hoped the stinging of the injury would wake the water bearer up and they could get some answers but he didn't budge. "Kento, hand me the gauze and and tape. We'll see if we can go without wrapping his head up."

Hardrock stepped in, his hands shaking as he dug through the open kit pulling out the needed materials. He hands them down unable to look away from his best friend. Something wasn't right. "….why isn't he waking up?"

"Well he hit his head pretty hard on the ground but Halo isn't showing me anything abnormal… the only thing I keep getting is a high blood pressure." Sage sighs as he tapes the gauze down before feeling around the pale face. "He'll have an ugly bruise on the side of his face tomorrow morning but otherwise, he should be okay."

"Here, help me sit him up."

Together Rowen and Sage sat the other up right and this time they got a moan. Kento watched worried as his best friend made no movement to open his eyes, he was leaning forward completely dependent on the two holding him up. His head hanging limply, moving only when Sage or Rowen shifted his body.

Sage reached up and gently pushed Cye's head up, holding him up by pressing his hand gently against the other's forehead, "Cye? Can you hear us?"

He used Halo as best he could, with what little energy he had, to see any changes as the youngest wakes up. The only thing he could see was a drop in blood pressure.

Cye didn't verbally respond right away. He only opened his eyes as best he could. His body still had that heaviness to it and wasn't listening. A painful pins and needles had started in his arms and legs. He winced unable to move to shake it off.

Rowen couldn't breathe. The usual bright green eyes were dull and unfocused, heavily lidded and it looked like Cye was using all of his strenght to keep them open. He didn't realize until now how pale the other warrior was and there were dark circles under his eyes.

"Cye, we're here. Rowen, Kento and I are here with you." Sage said trying to sound confident. "You're in the bathroom. By the looks of it, you got sick and passed out." He waited hoping to feel the head he was holding up move to support itself but it never does. "We need to get him out of here and somewhere to lay down so he can come out of whatever this is."

"….dizzy…."

They all looked over at hearing the heavy accented voice speak. It was barely audible but he had spoken. "Okay, buddy, okay.. We're going to get you outta here. Once we lay you down maybe the dizziness will go away." Rowen got his voice back and tried to remain calm. "Kento, can you carry him out of here?"

"W-Won't I hurt him?" Hardrock looked visibly upset and nervous. He holds his arms out for a few seconds before dropping them, his hands shaking. His friend looked so small and vunerable leaning back against the wall being physically held up in a sitting position.

"No more than he's already hurt himself. He can't stay here." Sage explained. "Pick him up from his chest and we'll get him to his feet then you can cradle carry him the rest of the way."

The other takes adeep breath and nods, he bends down his hands going underneath the smaller warrior's arms lifting him to his feet. Sage moved up with him at the same time and supported Cye against him briefly until Kento could get a better grip. The heavy set warrior then gently gathers him in his arms and holds him close. He waits for Sage to move his friend's head on his shoulder. "…where am I taking him?"

"To our room."

"Got it." As carefully as he could, he steps over the mess and out into the hallway. "…its okay, lil buddy… Kento's here.. You're going to be okay." He didn't get a response and felt a pit grow in his stomach. "Rowen and Sage will be here too."

Sage turns and helps Rowen to his feet. He could feel the other was about to ask him a question that he had no answer too, "…I don't know Rowen, I don't know."

Rowen nods taking a deep breath, "…right."

They walk down the hallway to go join Kento. "Should we wake Ryo and Mia?"

"What would they do besides panic? We don't know what even happened yet and he's not even fully conscious… we'll let them know tomorrow. I just wish I had the energy to use Halo in a more focused scope."

"No, don't hurt yerself. Cye would never forgive himself if you hurt yourself using Halo to heal him."

"I can only do the basics right now anyway. I'm too mentally exhausted to try anything beyond that. All I saw was a blood pressure flucuation."

"That wouldn't cause him to pass out would it?"

"You're guess is as good as mine."

They reach the bedroom just in time to see Cye go limp and pass out again as he's laid down on the bed. "G-Guys. It happened again!!" Kento said panicking. "CYE? Come on dude, wake up… you gotta stop passing out on us!"

"Kento, calm down."

"How can I stay calm!? My best friend keeps passing out without warning and h-he's not okay. He can't even sit up by himself.. You had to hold him up in the bathroom…man what if something really bad happens?! Do we get him to the hospital?!"

"KENTO. Take a deep breath and lay Cye down on the bed. Panicking will get us no where." Sage instructs, his voice taking his usual tone that stopped anyone in their tracks and had them acting right. "We're just as scared as you are but freaking out over this won't help." He walks over and holds his hand out closing his eyes.

"Buddy, no! Don't you dare use Halo! You just told me you were too weak-"

"Do you have a better idea, Rowen? Let me just see if anything is going on surface level.." He felt dizzy and disoriented as he used what little power he had left to see. "…nothing abnormal but a rise in blood pressure. This is the second time in a row." He wavers unsteadily and staggers back into the bearer of Strata.

"Ok, no more. We'll just sit close by and wait for him to come back… if it's a repeat then maybe that drop in blood pressure will bring him back." Rowen explains helpign Sage sit down on the floor by the bed.

"But what if it doesn't?"

"Then we'll take him to the hospital. Don't forget we have mystical armor, taking him to an actual doctor needs to be a last resort. So we need to wait this out. It's probably something to do with Torrent and what happened during the battle. It's only been three weeks… we're all recovering."

Kento glances back at his friend before he sits at the foot of the bed crossing his arms, "I'm sittin' right here.." He looks over and sees the stuffed animal and picks it up easing it under one of Cye's arms. "A-And he can hold Suki as well.. H-he always sleeps with him… has since he was a kid…"

Rowen and Sage glanced at each other before they nod. Sage leans back against the bed, closing his eyes. He just wanted to doze for a few minutes. Rowen sits on the other side of the bed beside Kento ready to jump at a moment's notice.. But even they fell asleep a few minutes later.

*~*

Sage startled awake at hearing a strangled gasp for air and reached over placing his hand over Cye's chest. "C-Cye? Can you hear me..?" His voice woke up the other two that had fallen asleep beside the bed waiting for him to come back. He glanced at the clock, it had been 45 minutes.

"..S-Sage…"

He sighed with relief and gets up to sit on the edge of the bed, he catches one of the hands that is reaching out to find his bearings. He squeezes it gently, "I'm here. You gave us all a scare. Do you know where you are?"

"….the bed?"

"That's right. Can you tell us what happened?"

Cye closes his eyes for a few seconds steeling himself against the vertigo that was still present and disorienting. He squeezed Sage's hand back as tightly as he could to ground himself. "…I woke up feeling sick again…got up to go to the bathroom… I didn't want to make a mess in the bed… the next thing I know, I woke up on the bathroom floor… got sick then my body went numb…I guess I passed out again…"

"You hit your head, I'm afraid. So you'll have a headache for awhile. The injury wasn't too bad but you'll have a bruise there tomorrow." The blonde explains as he gently takes the hand he's holding and moves it up to the side of the other's face walking him through it.

Cye winces as he feels it, "I just don't understand… I've been feeling so awful lately.."

"Awful? How so? You haven't said anything."

"What good would it do? W-We're all recovering from the battle and I wouldn't want anyone worrying…"

"Cye, that's not how that works. What's been going on?"

"…I have no energy, I'm falling asleep any time I sit down. I-I haven't been able to keep a lot of food down either, even tea has upset my stomach."

"What's the last meal you kept down?" Sage asks worried at the new developments. His mind racing on what was going on. "And how long ago was it?"

"About a week ago… one dinner stayed down."

"Cye, you have to tell us about that. That's bad!" Rowen exclaimed startling the two of them. His eyes widen as Cye's eyes fluttered at being startled and he started to go limp again. "…w-what the.."

"CYE?! Cye, don't do this again. Stay with us." Sage says a bit louder trying to get through the haze. He reaches down and sits him up trying to see if that would help, instead Cye falls against him going limp and passing out.

The blonde sat there staring ahead wide eyed as he tried not to panic. Panicking wouldn't help Cye. He needed a level headed person here to calm him down. The dead weight of his friends body against him was making it all worse. He felt dizzy. "…Rowen.."

"…we're in for a long night." Was all the other could say.

*~*

Ryo walks down stairs expecting to see the guys spread out along the first floor. It was early but it wasn't abnormal for them to be moving around. He stretches stepping down off the stairs, "Good morning! How is… everyone…" He trails off looking around, it was empty.

He walks to the sitting room - no one was there. The kitchen was empty as well. No one was outside. He didn't even see Sage heading to meditate. He comes back where he had started starting to worry. He glances up seeing Mia making her way down. "M-Mia. The guys…"

"Ryo? What's wrong?"

"Something is wrong, I can feel it… something's not right."

"A-Another dynasty solider?" She asks nervously.

"No…something different.." He trails off at hearing a stumbling down the hallway that led to the stairs. He climbs the stair case getting in front of Mia to protect her not knowing what to expect.

His eyes widened at seeing Sage.

"Woah dude, you scared me! I was ready to call Wildfire."

"Ryo, I need water and some sort of sports drink. One of those electrolyte things that we had during our first battle with Talpa and then some sort of bland food."

"Sage? What's going on?" Mia asks sensing the seriousness of it all.

"Cye. He's not …he's not okay. He hasn't been able to keep food down the last month, he's very weak a-and I think it's causing him to black out. He has to eat something or we'll wind up in the hospital getting food via an IV."

She blinks before composing herself, "I'll go get stuff together. D-Do you need to be up? You look exhausted."

"I've been up all night with Cye. Rowen and Kento have as well… its been a roller coaster. I think he's been unconscious more than he has been awake. I want to try and get him to eat something while he's coherent. I don't know how long it will last, so can we please hurry."

"S-Sure. I'll be right up with it." Mia pushed past Ryo and made her way down the stairs taking them two at a time.

Ryo watched her go before he looked back at Sage, "Why didn't you wake me up!?"

"What could you have done, Ryo? It all happened so fast and the rate he was waking up and passing out, we didn't have time to pull away and get you up. I'm serious when I say he's been in and out of consciousness all night."

"S-Show me."

*~*

"Don't move too fast," Kento says gently as he holds his friend up against his chest. "Just use me, I'll support ya." He gets a moan of discomfort in return. "D-Does your stomach hurt again?"

"…m-my entire body… the pins and needles are back in my arms and legs…I-I don't want to pass out again…"

"Okay, hang on, dude." He turns his head. "Hey Rowen, we need you over here. He can't move his arms and legs again."

The bearer of strata hurried over, he had gotten dressed while waiting on Sage to come back. "I gotcha, buddy. Take a deep breath. I'm going to move your legs and see if that helps. Be slow Kento, but lay him back."

Together the two of them lay the bearer of Torrent back into the pillows. They wait nervously but this time the youngest warrior stays mostly coherent. Rowen let out of breath of relief before he gently lifts one of the other's legs and bends it get a wince of pain. "D-Does that hurt?"

"N-No.. I'm a-alright… just uncomfortable."

He nods and keeps moving the leg that was in his hands then he moves to the other getting another wince, "Try and bear it and let me know when the stabbing numbing goes away."

To their surprise, Cye's eyes start to focus and slowly look more normal with each pump of his legs. Rowen looks to Kento confused, "…C-Cye?"

They watch as Cye slowly pushes himself to a seated position on his own but winces at moving his hands.

"Okay dude, I gotcha. Hang on." Kento sits on the edge of the bed and reaches out gently flexing the smaller hand and the fingers. He then bends the arm at the elbow moving it back and forth, "T-That better?"

"…m-much…thank you…" He looks to the two of them nervously before averting his eyes unable to look into their gaze as he asks the question he needed an answer too "…w-whats wrong with me?"

"I-I don't know, buddy. But you're up and moving okay again. Do you still feel dizzy or sick to your stomach?" Rowen asks as he continues to bend the legs one at a time. His mind was racing as he tried to figure out what was going on. Why would moving his friend's legs and arms make him better?

"He's right in here, I don't know if he'll be conscious or not but.." Sage trails off not expecting to see Cye conscious, fully coherent and sitting up on his own.

"Sage!" Cye smiles up at him as best he can.

"C-Cye? What…you were barely coherent when I left." He leaves Ryo's side hurrying over to the side of the bed. He sits on the opposite side reaching out to do a vitals check. "A-Are you ok? Do you feel okay?"

"I was feeling off again and that stabbing pain w-was back in my arms and legs but Rowen and Kento moved them and it went away… it was really weird."

"..then he just sat up like it was nothin'." Rowen finished for him.

Ryo stands at the foot of the bed confused. He wasn't sure whether to feel relieved or not that his friend was coherent and moving on his own. Rowen and Kento looked just as worn out and tired as Sage did. The three of them had experienced something that had worn them down.

"Mia bringing up some food. I know you don't want to get sick again but you need to try and eat something. We'll help you eat it but I want you to try. Until then, please relax and lean back into the pillows. T-This whatever it is comes and goes so quickly, I don't want you to pass out while sitting up if you can help it. Just take it slow."

With Kento's help, Cye leaned back into the stack of pillows and did his best to relax. Kento smiles and reaches out gently letting his hand drop on the red hair. "Just relax, we're here."

Cye smiled as best as he could before his eyes close. Now that everything had calmed down, he was exhausted again. He drifted off to sleep almost immediately.

"S-Sage!"

"Easy Kento. He's asleep this time. Let him rest." Sage sat back rubbing his own eyes. "..Ryo, can you watch over him while the rest of us get a little bit of rest?"

"No way dude, I'm not leaving my best buddy's side! You can't make me!"

"Then lay down over there on a futon, but we need rest. We're going to crash if we don't."

Ryo nods, "Sure thing."

"Just move slow and don't startle him." Rowen explains as best he can. "B-Be ready to catch him as well, he will pass out without warning. If he starts complainin' about the pins and needles get ready to catch him and start moving his limbs one at a time… for some reason it worked last time." He gets up off the bed looking around groggily. He wanted to stay with Cye but at the same time knew Sage was right, he needed to rest. "I'll be over there with Kento.."

Ryo watches the three of them go lay down on the floor before he sits on the edge of the bed watching over the youngest warrior as he slept. His mind was trying to make sense of it all. He squeezed one of the hands gently rubbing his finger over the top, he didn't notice until know how pale his frined's skin was. His hands were almost color-less except for the tips of his fingers. He starts to gently massage them trying to get the color back.

*~*

"Ok, take it slow. But see if you can keep some of the soup and bread down." The blonde explained as he locked his hands under the other warriors arms and gently moved him to a sitting position.

"I feel fine now, just weak."

"That's great but we're still going to take it slow and carefully." He takes the spoon and gets a bite ready. The youngest looked like he was going to protest the offered food being spoon fed to him but he leans forward taking the offered bite.

Cye closed his eyes praying he wouldn't gag. The vegetables were fresh and were supposed to taste good. He shuddered as he forced himself to chew and swallow. He'd never had an issue eating this before.

"Cye?" Sage asks worried, he reaches out not liking the response the other had, "Are you ok?"

"….I-I don't understand whats wrong…I know the food tastes good, it smells good …but I can't swallow it. I feel so queasy when I do." He shivers making a point to swallow again not wanting to get sick again. The last time he got sick he passed out.

"Okay, here try to drink this instead."

He feels a straw touch his lips and he starts to sip at it slowly. It had the sour taste that most sports drinks had but it went down a lot smoother than the soup did.

"Easy, don't drink too fast." The other held the drink up for him. "Take your time."

Cye finally opened his eyes again as his energy started to come back slowly. The queasy feeling went away once the food was sat aside.

"Sage, I found some crackers. Maybe he could try that instead."

"It'll do for now. Thanks, Mia." He turns and sits the plate in the other's lap. He was relieved to see Cye try and pick one up by himself. He reaches out and helps him pick it up, his hand drops away as the water bearer takes a small bite before leaning back into the pillows.

He waits to see if the other felt sick to his stomach again. Cye's shoulders dropped relieved as his stomach didn't protest it this time, he was even able to swallow it.

He sighs relieved and smiles, "Just try and eat these, you're doing great."

"Rowen…?"

"He and Kento are still sleeping."

"You should be resting.."

"I'm not leaving your side. Not when we're making movement and you're sounding so much better." Sage reaches out and pushes some of the red hair behind the other's ear smiling reassuringly. "I'm still not sure what's causing it… but you're doing better."

"….is it because I'm not strong enoguh to be a warrior?"

The blonde looked up tilting his head, "What?"

"E-Everyone is tired and recovering from fighting Talpa… but I'm the only one who can't stay conscious." He says his voice shaking. One of his hands clenched the sheet that was over him as he tried not to give in to the panic. "Y-You and Kento had the same thing happen to you… Talpa stole your energy b-but you're up and moving."

"Cye, we are still recovering just in our own ways." He tried to reassure him but it was hard. The other was right, no one else was going through this. He sighs placing his hand over Cye's getting him to lessen the grip on the sheets, "It doesn't mean you're weak. It just means you need rest."

He hears a sharp inhale and glances up seeing a few tears escape. He looks away before smiling, "I can't use Halo's full power right now."

"…what?"

"I can't do a full assessment of your body right now. I can only see the surface level." He explains shrugging. "I don't have the energy to use the armor like that."

Tired green eyes open to look at him. He bites his lip nervously trying to figure out if he could speak properly or not. He was so tired, he wasn't thinking rationally. "…really? You're not just saying that?" He finally asked, that was all he could voice without breaking down.

Sage silently held up his armor orb and let it float in the air in front of Cye's line of vision. He does what he normally does to call the armor and use its power but this time nothing happens. It doesn't even glow green. The orb hovers for a few seconds before it falls to the bed and rolls towards its owner.

A few more tears rolled down this time out of relief. Sage sighs wishing Rowen was awake, he was never good at this kind of thing. He reaches forward and hugs the other to him holding him. "It's okay, you're just tired and had a really rough and scary night. Once Rowen is awake, you can curl up with him and rest. I need you to keep trying to eat a full meal, but you should make a full recovery."

Cye buried his face into the other's shoulder nodding. He never thought he'd be doing this sort of thing with Sage but right now he didn't want to go through it by himself.

Sage hears foot steps and sees Ryo and Mia in the doorway. He just smiles as best he can hugging Cye to him. "Just relax."

MAIS C`EST QUOI CE BORDEL AVEC LA HARDROCK ?

Mais c’est quoi le délire avec le « tirage au sort » de cette course tellement sauvage que tu peux à tout moment partir en pierre-feuille-ciseau avec un ours ?

CONTEXTE : 140 dossards, un système de tirage au sort avec plus ou moins de chances d’intégrer le délire en fonction du nombre de tentatives et de ton passif sur la boucherie. François D'haene, qui a atomisé le bazar l’année dernière, était assuré d’y retourner. L’organisation se réserve aussi le droit de choisir quelques coureurs, un peu à la gueule du client. Comme si de rien n’était, ils tirent (ou choisissent) alors quelques espoirs du sport le plus stylé de l’univers : Kilian Jornet (jeune espoir mais déjà 4 baisers sur la roche de Silverton), Courtney Dauwalter (grosse revanche après son abandon cette année), Dakota Jones (l’homme qui a battu Kilian deux fois sur des longues distances), Aurélien Dunand-pallaz (deuxième de la course de quartier cette année), Daniel Jung (vainqueur pogne dans la pogne de la dernière Diagonale) ou encore John Kelly (finisseur de la Barkley en 2017). BORDEL, ON VA AVOIR UN DUEL FRANÇOIS / KILIAN SUR UN ULTRA.

T’as pigé, la Hardrock 2022 va être tellement violente que les enfants ne seront pas autorisés sur les ravitaillements.

La Hardrock 2022 va être tellement sanglante que les réalisateurs de Squid Game vont trouver ça too much.

La Hardrock 2022 va être tellement choquante que ça revient à faire croire aux gamins qu’ils vont regarder La Reine des Neiges pour finalement leur lancer Shining.

Vivement l’été prochain.

IDÉE CADEAU, ON TE FACILITE LE BOULOT : POINT DE CÔTÉ 1-2-3-4 SONT DISPONIBLES. La meilleure lecture sur le sport le plus stylé de l’univers. À la commande sur le site de la revue.

Captain hardrock yelling at Panthera to like “STOP” or just a random usual akuma command like “GET BACK HERE” and Panthera being juleka who’s extremely loyal to her mother keeps freezing or hesitating cause in her head doing what her mom says is good because her mom loves her and she loves her mom but she has to keep forcing herself to Remember that it’s an akuma and it’s difficult

Captain hardrock notices her hesitation and it makes Anarka feel even worse about the whole situation

Armor Champions - Episode 134 (Do Not Copy)

During one beautiful morning, a large black portal formed at the blue sky of Planet Marinear Bay. The large group of champions in armor led by Kody of the HardRock flew from the portal. And the young team hurried below as the portal closed.

"This is impossible!" cried Kody. "Of anyone in the universe, the Demon's Blade has chosen him."

Kody's thoughts:

On the tallest roof of the Sky Kingdom's castle, Jede of the CosmicFire hurried to Kody of the HardRock and handed an item to him.

This was a large photo of a well-built boy with fair skin and short brown hair that was wavy. He had a fuzz on his chin. And his eyes were covered in shadow.

"Do you have any idea on where to find this boy?" asked Billy.

Kody lowered his head and responded clearly "I received an e-mail from him approximately three weeks ago. The message said that he and his mother were stationed in the country Guam on Planet Earth. Then they were moved to the nearby planet TB-40."

"Then why da hell ain't we headin' over there?" yelled Desoto of the BlackShadow.

And Kody replied "I do not know if he is still on the planet. I have to be certain before I send us to a place where he is not. And for that, I must head to the main computer which is in my bedroom."

"So who the hell is the person Ronan is after?" questioned Relena of the CosmicFire.

"His name is Nemo Roth," Kody told them. "He and I have been great friends since we were toddlers. He lived on my planet Terravenager for a time. But he and his mother vanished from their home without a trace. And I did not know what he would have looked like now until Jede showed a picture of him."

"And you have no idea why your friend went into hiding?" asked Billy of the IceDome.

"Till this day," answered Kody. "I haven't the foggiest clue of what made him leave. But Nemo and I had stayed in limited contact since the last day I saw him."

"Why haven't you said anything about this boy earlier?" Relena questioned. "Was he really your best friend during childhood?"

"He was," Kody replied. "Once I met him in California City, Nemo and I became inseparable. Like brothers the two of us were. On some evenings, his mother welcomed me into their home for dinner. I had love for her like if she was another mother. She and Nemo were practically my second family."

"I am surprised at this," said Jede. "You have never spoken of this Nemo person before, not even to me. He was probably very dear to you."

Kody shook his head with a soft smile and he answered "I never truly had friends. I didn't know the meaning of the word Friend until the day I met him honestly. And then I met you all. But I will never forget all the times I have spent with Nemo and his mother."

The group was soon joined by another warrior in armor -- Aaron of the SilverLight.

"I received your message Jede," He implied. "You said that we need to search for this boy -- the vessel that was truly chosen by Ferrumdiaboli."

"And we must retrieve him soon," Kody replied. "Or the universe will be in terrible danger."

Armor Champions Super R -- Episode 134: The Agents of the Devil's Blade

On another planet far away, there was a large explosion that appeared at a large area.

The smoke slowly cleared as someone landed on the top of a large pole that nearly reached the pink sky.

This was a nobleman with a pale face, long white hair and golden eyes. He had worn a collared white shirt, a pair of white boots and a white suit.

After the smoke finally cleared, the man held the middle of a long white cane with his right hand as he stood for battle. Another person walked toward the long pole and looked up at the middle-aged man.

This person was another older male that had dark-brown fur on his large ears and the outer parts of his head while his face was white. He had black eyes with a golden tint and were cat-like. And he had a human-like nose that was colored black. He also had dark-brown around his eyes. And he had on dark-purple lipstick. He had on a black suit with purple armor and large pads on his shoulders that were also purple. And he had a light-purple collar around his neck.

First, the nobleman stood straight as he looked down at the feline-like creature. The creature quickly had the long nails of his fingers that were shaped as claws at the ready. And the nobleman revealed a weapon from inside his cane. It was a sword with a slender and straight blade.

The white-haired man held the end of his long rapier in his right hand as he dropped his cane. And he flew down to his target. He tried to strike with the pointy blade. But the slender creature hopped into the air and gave out a quick laugh as the nobleman landed on the ground.

After the creature landed at the other side of the battlefield, the nobleman pointed his blade at his opponent as he struck a pose.

"Why do you not back your words like a gentleman, Muiten?" He asked.

The nobleman soon gave out a wicked grin and said "Oh, forgive me. You would have to be a man to begin with."

"Aren't you the one to judge," The creature replied in a calm voice. "You do not possess the means of humanity as well."

"Is that right?" The nobleman responded. "I may not be human, but I am just as lethal as those in the higher class. You should not underestimate me. And you... Muiten... You are nothing but a common thug from the planet of filth, Terla."

The creature called Muiten gave out an angry growl and shouted "Is that so? You well be nothing but a quick kill for me!"

Then he gave out a quick laugh and replied "Oops, I have forgotten! You are undead. Certainly I can use my time in torturing you."

"Ah, be my guest then," The noblemen told him. "And while you do just that, remind yourself of the vicious but dirty being that you are. You are still but trash to me."

"Do not forget, Basileus..." Muiten implied. "...that I have killed many of your filthy kind before. I am able to hold against you without hesitation."

And a stern voice yelled "Enough!"

The pair spotted a small group of warriors walking toward them from the left side. And among the group was the stern man named Ronan.

Ronan turned to Muiten and said "I have not summoned you here to battle your rival, or hurl out cheap insults."

Standing behind Ronan was his loyal warrior -- the swordswoman called Misha. By her right side was a tall man with dark skin, brown eyes and a well-built body. His head was clean-shaven and he had a fine beard. He wore a black top with short sleeves, dark markings and a thick golden collar. He had on a sleeveless golden vest that was opened and long black warmers around his arms with brown pads around the elbows. He also had on fingerless black gloves, black pants and long black boots with golden guards covering his shins. And a large crossbow was latched on to his back.

Another standing by Misha's other side was a figure wearing a long dark coat with a hood over his head. He also had on tight dark pants and black boots.

"Agis Basileus," Ronan responded. "You do have the exact location of the vessel. I must have it now."

The nobleman named Agis Basileus placed his clean rapier back into his long cane as he informed the villain "My partner remains close to the target. He awaits my command to take him."

"Take me to the target at once," commanded Misha.

Ronan turned to Misha and shook his head.

Then Ronan told Basileus "Misha will accompany you to retrieve him. There will be no more mistakes. Ferrumdiaboli will also have possession of the Golden Eye."

Misha faced the hooded figure and informed Ronan "Yes sir. It will not be long until Nebula talks. We now have ways to make her reveal exactly where the treasure is hidden."

The hooded person said in a calm male voice "We still need the key to open the treasure. And you will have the Golden Eye of Hypnos to use as you see fit."

"Excellent," said Ronan. "We are close than before. Ferrumdiaboli shall have both its true vessel and the golden treasure at its command."

And Muiten cried "But why have you asked for me?"

"We have those who have repeatedly stood against us," Ronan informed him. "You along with Turbo and Agis will help me in disposing every last one of them."

"The Armored Ones," Basileus replied. "A group of mere young souls that interfere with the plans of the Great Sword. This is unjustified."

"And Muiten?" Misha questioned. "You have your own stake in making certain that Ferrumdiaboli comes as superior?"

Muiten shook his head and answered "I only want chaos among the entire universe. I believe I was born to be an agent of Chaos -- the pure and utterly feral brand."

"Will you help us realize the dream of the Great Sword?" asked Ronan.

Muiten gave out a wicked smile and replied "Oh, indeed I will."

And Ronan informed Misha "You will head to the location. And you will assist Agis Basileus in apprehending the one and true heir. Ferrumdiaboli must have him at once."

"Certainly sir," said Misha.

"And stop anyone who blocks your path," Ronan added. "Kill if necessary."

I think a good alternative holder for the miraculous could go to Luka! He seems like he’s mature enough to handle that responsibility and it would be a bonus for Marinette to be able to go on tour with Jagged

Yeah, Luka and Felix would be top of my list on who Marinette would trust the ladybug miraculous with, and Luka is more likely based on canon so far since she has yet to meet and be friends with Felix (though any set ups that she does know him, he’s also likely).

In Capt Hardrock, we do see Luka is able to act when there’s danger, will see to another safety, and can come up with a clever plan when things are heating up. Very solid potential a ladybug holder. We also see that he’s observant, catching on quick when he hurt her feelings and quick to apologize. With his observation and sensitivity, he’s a very solid option for the ladybug, having the compassion and empathy needed to care.

Felix can also be observant, crafty, calculating, and initiative when needed or when it suits him. He’s also someone who will be aggressive, will speak out, and take command. For the LB holder that needs to be a leader, he’d take up the mantle and take it seriously. His team may not like him, but he’ll see to it to get the job done. Depending on the characterization of Felix, there can less heart, empathy, and consideration that goes into how he is as a ladybug, but he will be a solid planner, initiator, and leader.

And Tikki is also able to influence both to help grow. Luka than learn to be more involved and more active with her, to be more expressive and direct. In this situation, the ladybug is the leader, and Luka can’t go with flow as much as he’d like to, and have things shared and evened out with his teammates. A leader is needed to fully direct them.

Felix will be encouraged to be more considerate and aware of others, to try and work with his teammates more. The heart is a big factor to the ladybug, and while he’ll see to it that the job gets done and Paris is safe, it will be harder if his teammates don’t want to work with him, and if civilians are put off by his distant, no nonsense behavior.

These two I’d vote as solid potential ladybug replacements if Marinette had to leave and who she’d trust the miraculous with, who’d she’d recommend to Fu, who had the desired traits to pull off being LB in her place.

Horror-Ther Self: The Third Of The Awakened “Parisonas!”

This is not a sequel to my other two Parisona fics chronologically - imagine it as an alternate timeline or something.

I bet the star of this fic is rather obvious... is it?

Either way, AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19978471

Juleka was not known to be the type of girl to get mad easily. This wasn’t entirely true - you just had to know her one button and how to press it. No one who pressed her button had malevolent intent - not even Chloe had dared to do it, as it hit too close to home.

Juleka couldn’t run from this button forever, it seemed, when she came upon her abusive blood father one day. She had walked in to find him attempting to convince Anarka to give him custody of her and Luka. Juleka snapped, and told him off in a voice louder than she’d used in long time. After he stormed off, all the while threatening to fight for custody of her, Juleka nearly passed out.

Overcome with worry & fury, Anarka was akumatized once more, but this time she was turned into an even scarier form of Captain Hardrock called Mama Bloodshed. She would attack anything that moved with her bigger cutlass, whether it was Ladybug, Chat Noir or even a simple pigeon. The only ones she had spared were Juleka and Luka - she seemed to have moments of clarity when they were around.

Eventually, Juleka figured she and/or Luka were the only ones who could do anything - Ladybug and Chat Noir’s attacks did next to no damage on her. Since she was fighting for us, Juleka had rationalized, could that mean she’s powered by a mother’s love?

Having locked her and Luka inside their houseboat, Juleka explained her plan to Luka. As much as Luka didn’t want his little sister getting hurt, he knew she would understand better, as she had been more emotionally damaged by their sperm donor. This was their only shot.

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

Ladybug was supposed to be invincible, but there was nothing she could do here.

Chat Noir laid on the ground stomach-down, pinned to the floor by Mama Bloodshed’s heel. The akumatized Anarka had found her ex and given him the butt-whooping of a lifetime, and he would be barely alive if things finished well. Her cutlass was pointed at the heroine to keep her away, and a threat was made that if she tried anything while the akuma removed Chat’s ring, he would put the C-A-T in decapitated.

It was then that Juleka arrived with her brother in tow, and made a plea to come to her senses. Bloodshed had that moment of clarity, and it was longer than the previous times, if just for a moment more, but the purple mask came on, and she suddenly screamed bloody murder, dashed over (freeing Chat Noir) and slammed her leg into Juleka’s stomach, sending her flying into a chimney wall.

When Juleka reoriented herself from the pain, she felt like she wanted to cry. She hadn’t cared if her sperm donor was dead, alive or barely living; she just wanted him to leave her alone forever.

All of a sudden, two voices came into her head. Neither of them belonged to Hawkmoth, to her confusion, but it felt like the voice was coming from her but also not from her.

“YOU DESIRE OUR HELP, THEN?” the first one roared, a rumble in their voice similar to that you would hear from a fictional big cat.

“Your desire to stand against your mother despite her goals lining with hers has awakened us… the other selves of you.” the other voice had a more feminine tone to it, and it was much quieter and calmer than that of the first but held the same cold strength.

A sudden intense pain wracked her forehead, and she doubled over to the ground in pain. Luka, who had escaped the wrath of Mama Bloodshed, watched from a distance. He wanted to help Juleka, but the melody coming from her seemed like the one of a person regaining their confidence, the music being a slow, dramatic build up, moving faster and faster as Juleka became more and more pained.

“WE ART THOU, THOU ART WE…” both voices said in unison.

It was then that Juleka felt something appear on her face. It was like a mask of some sort, and as cool as it was, she suddenly felt the sudden urge to rip it off immediately, as if it would swallow her face otherwise.

“Your strength is admirable, young Juleka…” uttered the second voice.

“IT IS TIME YOU SHOWED THE WORLD WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT!” the first roared.

She shakily stood up, ever-so-slowly taking steps towards Mama Bloodshed as she was slowly being pushed back by an infuriated Ladybug. When she could fully stand up, she grabbed onto her mask and ripped it off.

There was a splatter of blood from her face, and out of nowhere, bright blue flames erupted around her, catching everyone’s attention.

Despite it all, she seemed unharmed, even as the fire danced around her.

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

Just as quickly as they had risen, the flames died down, dissipating into nothing. They left things behind, however; behind Juleka stood two odd monsters.

The first looked like an incredibly tall young woman. She was clad in white furs, and upon her head, humongous antlers like that of a reindeer stood tall.

The other was more animalian then the woman. With the appearance of a humongous grey tiger with a pure-white tail, from the left side of its stomach extended a fifth paw holding a giant blade, ready to strike on command. On its head was a symbol that Chat Noir would have recognized as the word for king had he been focused on it.

Still holding the mask, Juleka’s eyes opened.

“So you are me, and I am you? Cool…”

Luka breathed a deep sigh of relief - Juleka seemed magically unharmed, the term seeming more likely to be exactly just that.

“I will save you from your prison, mama…” extending a hand, the tiger roared and the reindeer-woman braced herself for the battle ahead.

“Pirita! Bái Hǔ! Attaaack!”
