Chapter 15 - Collector's Return

Chole and Kagami stood outside of the Agreste Mansion, and they were feeling quite nervous then they heard Astrid talk through the earpiece.

"Why are you guys nervous, you been to these events before so count to ten to calm down and when you guys are ready walk inside." Astrid said

"Ok, but the only reason we are nervous is we could be walking into Shadow Moth's lair." Chloe said

"If it gets too much heated, I'll teleport you guys away back to us okay." Astrid said

"Okay we are walking inside now." Kagami said

Chloe and Kagami walked inside where there was a scanner to scan for their fingerprints and after they were done a robot came over

"Alright please put your phones in the robots please." Gabriel said

"Why is that?' Chole asked

"This event will be mobile free, so we don't get disrupt by anyone calling." Gabriel said as he closes the door and activates cellphone scrambler

"Chloe, Kagami it seems like Gabriel activated a scrambler but don't worry my equipment won't get affected and can you see a spot where you can let the Mini drones out without anyone spotting you?" Astrid asked

Chloe saw a good hiding place so she got Kagami's attention and she pointed at a dark corner that was well hidden so they walked over and when they arrived they looked to see if anyone is watching and when they saw no one was watching the put their hands in their purse and they took out the Mini drones and they flew off their hands and Chloe and Kagami went back to the crowd.

Astrid saw the live footage come onto the screen and she saw Gabriel splitting up from the group so she ordered her drones to follow Gabriel while being in camouflage mode so no one sees them and when they entered the drones went onto the wall that was behind Nathalie and Astrid smiled as she saw they were reading from the fake grimoire then she saw they switched to something else

"How is it going with the spying on Ladybug's reserved heroes?" Gabriel asked

"It's going quite well but we are having problems trying to spy on Rena Rouge." Nathalie said

"How is that a problem I thought with Lila's information she got from Carapace that these heroes would be easy to spy on." Gabriel said

"Well, we still don't know who Viperion, Ryuko, Caprikid and Purple Tigress are." Nathalie said

"We'll deal with that later but right now I need to deal with my nephew who has stolen a ring from me and gave me a fake ring instead." Gabriel said as he threw the ring away

"Gabriel can't you akumatize him and make him tell you where the ring is." Nathalie said then she coughed up blood

"Nathalie, you only have 1 and a half months left to live so I better get Ladybug and Chat Noir's ring, so I can wish for you and Emilie to come back to life." Gabriel said

"Don't worry about me Gabriel let's deal with Felix first about how he gave you the fake ring

"We'll I can't akumatize him or he would know I'm Shadow Moth." Gabriel said

"Why not create a senti-monster of yourself instead?" Nathalie said which made Gabriel look up

"Nathalie you are a genus why didn't I think of that." Gabriel said as got off the bed and stood up

"Duusu, Nooroo, dual metamorphosis! Gabriel said as he transformed into Shadow Moth

"I better warn Chole and Kagami about what is happening." Astrid said

Chloe and Kagami were bored out of their minds at this boring event then they heard Astrid what is going on and they smiled knowing they will be out of here

"Okay guys I need you to hide somewhere so I can teleport you back here." Astrid said

Chloe and Kagami saw Felix and Adrien were distracted so they snuck out and look for a hiding place which they did, they went inside, and a blue light engulfed them, and they were teleported where Astrid was

"Thank you for taking us out of there it was quite boring." Chloe said

"We have an issue Shadow Moth knows who my reserved heroes are so Alya and Chloe you guys won't be transforming for a wee while but he doesn't know you have your Miraculous so keep hidden away from everyone because I just found out Lila is working for Shadow Moth and Nino gave her the information." Astrid said then the akuma alert rang out and Astrid turned the TV on and saw it was the collector again

"So, Gabriel akumatized himself again let's defeat him but after you defeated him don't give him a magical charm since he could find a way to break through it.' Luka said

"Gabriel didn't akumatized himself since he's standing in Nathalies room transformed as Shadow Moth that's Gabriel Agreste as a senti-monster we are dealing with." Astrid said

"Then what are you guys waiting for transform." Alya said

"You heard her guys let's go." Astrid said as she ran to her balcony, and she vaulted over the railing, and she transformed into Ladybug and grappled to the Agreste Mansion

"One of these days someone is going to look up and see her transform. Chloe said

"Yeah but we better transform so Ladybug doesn't have to fight the collector alone." Kagami said as she transformed into Ryuko, and she turned around and saw her friends have transformed as well.

"Come on guys we got to help Ladybug defeat the Collector." Ryuko said and they went over the railing and the ran down the building in their animal form and when they landed people ran away seeing a Tiger, Snake and a dragon and they transformed back into their normal form

"Why are they running away from us?" Purple Tigress asked then Caprikid came over

"It was due to your animal forms that you guys were transformed as." Caprikid said

That make sense but we still ne to get to the battle." Purple Tigress said and they continued running to the battle where they saw Ladybug who was heavily injured and the Collector throwing different weapons at her so Ryuko went over to the battle and she blocked a sword that was coming to Ladybug

"Ryuko thank Thor you had arrived if you haven't arrived in 5 minutes, he would have killed me and took my Miraculous." Ladybug said as she tried to stand up

"Why not you let me, and the others deal with him while you rest up and wait for the akuma to come so you cleanse the butterfly." Ryuko said to Ladybug who nodded, Ladybug tried to get up but she felt pain in her ankle, and she saw a bone sticking out

"It might be a wee while it seems like my ankle is fully broken and the bone is sticking out." Ladybug said

"Alright I'm going to use my power and put you on the roof safely." Ryuko said as she used her wind power which lifted Ladybug up and carried her to the roof where the other heroes were.

"Hey guys Ryuko wants you guys down there, but Viperion can you stay here incase Chat Noir arrives and starts annoying me." Ladybug said

"Sure, I'll stay with you." Viperion said

"You two be careful he has every weapon at his disposal in his iPad." Ladybug said as she started to heal her ankle

"Alright we'll try and defeat him fast." Caprikid said as he and Purple Tigress joined the battle with Ryuko, and they started to battle against the Collector

Ladybug put both of her hands the side of her ankle and she cracked her ankle back into place and her leg glowed pink and it started to heal and after it was finished, Ladybug stood up to test her ankle and it was all better and it didn't feel saw

"What are you doing Ladybug?" Viperion asked

"I'm going to shoot an arrow and see if I can hit his iPad and release the akuma." Ladybug said as she got her yo-yo off her hip, and she turned into a bow with arrows.

"Come on you son of a bitch show me your iPad." ladybug said as she aimed her bow at the Collector then she saw him bringing out his iPad, so she targets it and she released her arrow, and it went flying through the air as the Collector brought out a bomb

"Fuck my arrow is going to hit that bomb." Ladybug said

"I hope those 3 will see the arrow flying down and quickly retreat." Viperion said then the 3 heroes appeared next to them

"We saw the Collector bringing out of the bomb then we saw the arrow fly past, so we quickly retreated." Ryuko said then a large explosion was heard, and they saw a huge fireball.

"That's one way to get rid of a senti-monster." Purple Tigress said then they saw the akuma flying away so Ladybug made her yo-yo back to normal and she casted the Miraculous cure which repaired all of the damage the bomb did, and it healed Ladybug up and they saw the senti-monster stand back up.

"That's our job done so who wants to watch an action Movie?" Purple Tigress asked

"I do, after I had a long ice bath." Ladybug said as they went back to Astrid's penthouse and they de-transformed when they landed, and Astrid went to her ice bath where she put on her swimwear then she got into the where she lied in it, and she felt her muscles getting better and after 30 minutes she got out, dried herself and she put on her nightwear and she walked into the lounge where she saw her friends with their couple and she was in shock seeing Juleka and Alya sitting next to each other

"When did you guys get together?" Astrid asked

"About 3 weeks ago." Alya said

"Are you mad that we didn't tell you?" Juleka asked

"No, I'm not mad I'm just shocked that you guys hid it from me really well." Astrid said

"Looks like we can hide things from you really well." Alya said

"Okay you guys watch a movie out here while I go to my bedroom and watch the Vikings." Astrid said walking to her bedroom but before she could enter, she turned around to them

"I'll be turning on the soundproof, so I don't hear you guys and you also don't hear me so goodnight." Astrid said as she closed her door, and she got into her bed, and she pressed a button and the TV rose up from the foot of the bed and she turned it on, and she put it on the Vikings.

Astrid saw a Viking running from the docks to the Great Hall and saw Trader Johann docked at the docks, but she was interested in what is happening

"Chief! Trader Johann has arrived, and he has good news for the Hofferson's! Brwan said

"Why didn't you bring him inside when he had the news?" Stoick asked Brwan who stood there like an Idiot

"Go back out there and BRING HIM HERE! Stoick shouted making Brwan run out the door all the way to the docks where Johann was waiting.

"Did you tell them the good news." Johann said

"Yeah, I did, and they want you inside the Great Hall right now." Brwan said

"Alright let me get the stuff I want to show them." Johann said as he walked below the deck and after couple of minutes he come back up with a chest and they both walked up to the Great Hall, and they entered inside

"Johann what good news do you bring for the Hofferson's?" Stoick asked

"While I was out of the time bubble, I asked the nice solders who guards our bubble if they have any information about Astrid and they did so in this chest is every information about her." Johann said as he walked over to the Hofferson's table and put the chest down and pushed it towards Hilda

Hilda opened up the chest and she saw a lot of papers with her daughter's name on them, so she picked them up and read them, after reading through the last paper she had tears in her eyes.

"My daughter is amazing doing all of these wonderful things." Hilda said then she saw a current picture of her daughter and she smiled

"I'm so happy I didn't lose my daughter like I lost Erik her father who died seven years ago but at least I have another daughter who loves to hear everything about her big sister." Hilda said with tears in her eyes

"Did it say where she is?" Viking asked

"Yeah, it says she's in Paris in France." Hilda said

"Interesting there was something written in the archives about that place but instead of France it was written down as Francia." Hiccup said

"What do you mean son?" Stoick asked

"We are not the first Vikings to have lived on this earth before the dragons roamed this earth there were these Vikings who were more blood thirsty then we were." Hiccup said

"How long ago was this?" Viking asked

"600 years ago, before the first dragon arrived to these lands, these Vikings would send out raiding parties to England where they would raid Monasteries." Hiccup said

"What were these Monasteries?" Spitelout asked

"These were churches where they would pray to their god." Hiccup said

"Like Odin and Thor?" Another Viking asked

"Sadly No, they were praying to another God these were Christians." Hiccup said

"Were they the ones who put the time barrier and the dragons around us?" Another Viking asked

"They have no idea how the barrier came or when the dragons arrived but there were rumors, they came from the edge of the world but those were just that, rumors." Hiccup said

"Actually, Master Hiccup what you said about it being rumors is actually a real place." Johann said

"What do you mean Johann?" Fishlegs asked

"A Merchant who were trading with a tribe out there saw they were putting fish on a boat and sending it out to sea so he followed it and he saw the boat go over the edge where he heard growling then wood breaking so he turned his ship around and he got out of there fast before he become a snack for the dragons

"Why were they doing that?" Gobber asked

"They said it was to appease the angry dragon gods to not raid on their village until they missed one day, and the gods were angry so the sent different dragons on them and it wiped out the whole village and to this day that Island is now home to the Dragons who have made it a home for them." Johann said

"What were this type of Dragon?" Fishlegs asked excited to know about Dragons

"They were snake like, and they can spit vemon out of their mouths, teeth and skin so people avoid that island since the poison will kill them in matter of minutes." Johann said

"Dad didn't you talk about the edge of the world when I was kid and you said once you find you would seal it up and bring peace for the Viking world and I thought it was a story that has been told over generations." Hiccup said

"Nope that wasn't a story it was true that Merchant, Johann was talking about was your Great Grandfather Magnus, before he become chief of this tribe he would go out on his boat and trade with other tribes he went all over the Viking world until he came across that village Johann was talking about, and he saw them loading fish onto boats and he was the one who followed it." Stoick said

"Then how does Johann know about if it happened years ago?" Fishlegs asked

"Well Master Fishlegs that story has been told by merchants over the years at Merchant Island where there is a book of what actually happened by Magnus himself." Johann said

"Thank you, Johann, we better let you get back to you ship so you can continue trading with other tribes." Stoick said

"It was my pleasure to bring the good news for Hilda and I'll see you in a couple of months hopefully with Astrid on bored." Johann said as he walked out of the Great Hall, and he walked back to his ship where he unanchored from port, and he sailed away from Berk.

Astrid who was watching the TV had tears in her eyes after hearing what her mother said and she was happy to have a little sister where she would make a lot of clothes for.

"Are you alright Astrid?" Tikki asked as she heard Astrid cry, and she came over.

"Yeah I'm alright I'm just happy that I have a little sister I can spoil quite a lot and it won't be long before Nooroo and Dusuu are back with the other kwamis." Astrid said then she gave off a yawn

"I'll let you sleep now Astrid so good night.' Tikki said as she went over to her bed and lied down on it and fell asleep

"Night Tikki." Astrid said as she turned off the TV and she got in a comfy position in bed and fell asleep
