Vol 1 Chapter 4: Pharoh

Pharoh

While at home, Alex could be seen watching the bugblog. A popular blog series created by Alya.

It was a live video from earlier that day and in it overbug swung over Alya dropping a 9th grade history book.

Alya quickly rushed over, picking it up with an excited smile. "Guys peep this. Overbug dropped a 9th grade history book, not only that it comes from my school!" Alya said excitedly.

Obviously people would wonder how she would know that, fortunately they wouldn't have to wait any longer as Alya was about to explain.

"And the reason I know this is because only our school uses these books! This means that overbug is a boy in the 9th grade that attends our school!" Saying that Alya put the book in her bag. "Stay tuned peeps, the next blog will be me discovering who overbug is!" And with that an excited Alya ended the blog.

Alex could be seen biting the tip of his fingers from anxiousness and fear. "Oh no tikki! If Alya finds out I lost my history book she would know I'm overbug! This is a disaster!" Alex said in an overly exaggerated sob.

Tikki frowned at this. It would be very bad if Alya revealed to the world who overbug was.

"Alex calm down, maybe we can come up with a way to convince Alya that you aren't overbug and that you don't go to your high school." Tikki said trying reassure Alex.

Alex then brightened up with an idea. "yes your right tikki! Since me an Alya are going to the louvre today, I could use that time to convince her that I'm not overbug. Especially since Alya thinks there are some clues about overbug at the louvre."

"Alright then, let's do it!" Tikki said enthusiastically.

At the louvre you could see Alya on her phone waiting for Alex.

"Alya! I'm here!" Yelled a running Alex.

"Finally!" Alya said to Alex who was 7 minutes late.

"Yeah sorry Alya, got caught up with something." Alex said with a sheepish smile.

Alya quickly sighed and smiled as she and Alex walked towards the entrance of the louvre.

While exploring the louvre, alex asked Alya how far she has gotten into her search for overbug, just to see how much time he has left before Alya suspects him as overbug.

"So Alya what do you have on overbug so far?" Alex asked Alya, faking curiosity.

Alya then began to excitedly smile. "I was wondering when you'll ask, started to think you didn't watch my blog. You that you might be overbug." Alya said with a mischievous smile on her face.

Alex tensed up at this. "O-obviously you'll not include me in your investigation right Alya? I'm your friend, just a regular boy." Alex said, still tense and anxious.

Alya lightly laughed. "Of course I'll disinclude you from my investigation. Unless you've lost a history book recently?" Alya said with a glint of mischief and wonder.

"O-o- of course not Alya! My history book is at home!" Alex said frantically. Getting increasingly meow anxious.

"Jeez chill out dude, I was just kidding."

Saying this, Alya continued towards the Egyptian section of the museum.

"Ok so you know how we don't know much about overbug and his age right?" Alya said to Alex.

"Umm yeah?" Alex said hesitantly.

"Well look here" Alya then pointed towards a woman in the Egyptian tablet who had black dots on her.

"It seems overbug has been around for several ages, or this could be someone else entirely."

"But now that I have a lead, I'm leaning towards the possibility overbug is a different person and that the wielders of the ladybug miraculous are chosen by the miraculous in their era to fight evil." Alya said in a single breath.

Alex was least to say dumbfounded. How did Alya discover so much about overbug this quickly!?

"And now that's why I'm here to see if I can find more information about overbug, and I called you to come with me to the louvre for help."

"O-oh s-s-sure a-alya I'll help." Alex said nervously.

While walking around, Alya was suddenly slightly shoved out of the way by a boy.

"Look dad, look!" He said enthusiastically.

It was Jalil kubdel. Alix kubdel's older brother. He was trying to explain to his dad the magic ritual the ancient Egyptians did to bring back the pharaoh's wife.

"Jeez, you coulda atleast said excuse me." Alya said, slightly annoyed.

Jalil ignored Alya, continuing his explanation to his dad.

"Dad look! The pharaoh Tutankhamen had to give up his wife because the sun god ra wanted her as a piece of worship from the people. Tutankhamen didn't want to give up his wife so he'd thought that he would give up someone in a ritual that looks as similar as possible to his wife in exchange for his wife back. But for some reason he never could go through with it." Finished jalil, who was looking towards the painting of the ritual.

Jalil's dad was least to say annoyed. "Jalil stop with this foolishness, we have people to guide." He said before turning around to leave.

"But dad! We have to try it! It could possibly our key to discovering magic!" Jalil said, determined.

Me kubdel sighed. "Jalil stop this at once and forget about it! Now come help the people we are supposed to guide throughout the louvre." He said firmly and turned around to walk away.

Jalil upset, huffed and walked away.

"Well that was something." Said Alya while she continued to walk towards the pharaoh section of the exhibit. Alex following close behind.

While looking at the paintings of the pharaoh Alex suddenly shouted out "look!" To Alya, making her quickly look where Alex was pointing at.

"What'd you find Alex?" Alya said, curious.

"Uhh, uhhh" alex said, trying to come up with something.

"There!" He finally said, pointing to a random part of the painting.

Alya looked at the part he was pointing at with confusion. "I don't really see anything that's relevant. Are you sure Alex?"

Alex didn't know what he was doing. He just wanted this situation to blow over and go home.

"If any force can hear me, please get me out of this situation!" Alex thought hopelessly.

While in his lair, hawkmoth sensed Jalil's frustration and stated to smile evilly.

"What sweet frustration, not being able to test your theories, being denied by your own father. Surely that must anger you." Hawkmoth said with an wicked laugh.

He then grasped an akuma and evilized it. "Now fly away my little akuma, and Evilise him!" Hawkmoth said with a wicked grin, twirling his staff.

As jalil was about to walk away, he was suddenly interrupted by an akuma and was connected to hawkmoth.

"Hello pharaoh, my name is hawkmoth and I am here to give you the power to prove everyone wrong. Show them that the ritual is real. But in return, I want overbug's and cat noir's miraculous. Do you accept my power?"

Jalil, under the akuma's influence smiled wickedly and accepted. "Of course hawkmoth." Saying that he was transformed into the pharaoh.

The pharaoh, with an wicked laugh then set off to find a person who looks as similar as his wife to sacrifice to get his wife back.

"I still don't see it Alex. Are you trying to hide something by distracting me?" Alya said slightly mischievously and curious.

Alex's anxiety spiked up and he felt as if he was about to faint until both him and Alya heard a commotion.

"Hahaha yes! My minions help me find my sacrifice!" Said the pharaoh. He shot out yellow beams of light from his eyes that turned anyone it touched into a mummy which then becomes his minions.

Alex quickly took action and took Alya to hide behind a stone pillar.

"Alya stay here, I'm going to go find some help, it would be harder for the villian to get both of us." Said Alex with a serious expression.

After that Alex told Alya to "be safe" and then went off out of her sight.

But in Alex's head he was extremely happy and glad and was also giddy.

Before he took off from Alya, he quickly and sneakily snatched the book out of her bag without her realizing it.

"Yes! Tikki! I have the book! Alya won't be able to find out my secret identity!" Alex said in an outburst of joy.

"Thats great Alex, now you just have to defeat the villian." Tikki said with a soft smile.

"Right!" Saying that Alex then transformed into overbuy and quickly went into action.

Meanwhile Alya, refusing to listen to alex's words, went up to confront the villian.

"Hey there!" Alya said walking up and waving towards the pharaoh.

"And who might you be, woman who dares to face me."

"I'm Alya, and I was wondering if you could tell me and my viewers more about overbug." Alya said, recording pharaoh while referencing the painting.

The pharaoh the looked towards the painting. "Ahh yes, my archenemy. My enemy seems to go by many names and has now changed their name from ladybug to overbug. But either way they will pay for stopping me from doing my ritual!" Said the pharaoh, remincing about when ladybug-now overbug, stopped him.

"Welp there you have it guys, it seems overbug is older than it seems." Alya said, facing the phone's camera towards her.

The pharaoh then turned to look towards Alya. "But it seems I won't have to wait no longer. You resemble my wife as clear as day, you would be the perfect sacrifice to gain my wife back."

Alya then started to realize maybe confronting the villian wasn't the best idea.

Pharaoh quickly picked up Alya making her drop her phone which now recorded upwards and put her on his shoulder and began to take her outside to perform the ritual.

"Oh crap! If you can see this overbug, help me!" Alya said, thrashing around in pharaohs grip.

Watching this from his bugphone Alex sighed. "Oh Alya" he said in a sigh of exasperation.

Alex then went after pharaoh.

While the pharaoh and his minions were at the main hall, they were suddenly interrupted by cat noir.

"It seems like i interrupted your purrfect plan." Cat noir said with a mocking smirk.

"You are not but a nuisance. Minions keep my sacrifice safe."

After handing the thrashy Alya to his mummified minions. the pharaoh then faced cat noir.

"Let's dance kitty." And saying that the pharaoh charged in towards cat noir.

Cat noir quickly went into action, blocking his punch and flipped out of the way.

He then quickly extended his staff to hit pharaoh but pharaoh caught it and used it to throw cat noir away, who then gracefully caught himself on the wall.

"Heh, is that all you got!" Cat noir said mockingly,. Getting off the wall back on his feet.

"That was a mere taste of my power cat, my true power lays in the gods. "Sobek! Grant me strength!"

Saying that the pharaohs face changed from that of a pharaoh to something similar to an alligator.

Pharaoh quickly charged towards cat noir who put up his staff to block pharaoh's punch but found himself several feet in the air crashing through several walls.

Cat noir then faceplanted into a wall and fell on the ground on his back.

"That wasn't cat friendly." Cat noir said, groaning.

"The next hit won't be either." Said the pharaoh while picking up cat noir by his suit's sleeve.

Before the pharaoh could hit cat noir again, cat noir was suddenly snatched out of his grasp, much to the pharaoh's surprise.

It was overbug. "You okay cat noir?" Overbug said worriedly, holding cat noir's shoulders.

"Not as okay as you bugaboo." Cat noir said with a flirtatious grin.

Overbug let out a sigh of relief. "Great, your still as playful as ever.

"Now both of them are here, grab their miraculous pharaoh!"

Pharaoh nodded in response and charged towards cat noir and overbug.
