A/N: Outfit and hairstyle for the chapter. Ignore the necklace. Also, Lily has double piercings on her ears. The second pair of earrings look like Ladybug's earrings. It's to confuse her future Akumatized villains. I got the idea from another fanfic about the earrings.
Rossi Residence - Lily's Room
At the Rossi residence, Lily, Trixx and Tikki are watching a video from the Ladyblog of Alya recording with her phone outside of Paris.
"Don't blink now..." Alya said, "Cuz we are live from Paris! Yo, peeps Alya here, bringing you the one and only Ladyblog! Huh, what's that?" She continued, until she stopped and hears something in the sky. She looks up to see a helicopter and Lady Scarlet, who appears to be hanging on a yo-yo that is tied up to the helicopter screaming with Cat Noir following behind her on the roofs.
"Hang on, Scarlet!" Cat Noir yelled.
"I'm hanging on!" Lady Scarlet yelled back.
"Lady Scarlet in action! Hang on cuz we're going for a ride!" Alya said, following after the Miraculous Duo.
Lily was glad that she wasn't carrying her history book at the time. Unlike Marinette who had her book at that time. But Marinette wasn't Ladybug which was a good thing.
In the video, Cat Noir helped Lady Scarlet get off the helicopter. So she stopped the video.
"Alya sure is persistent about finding yours and Cat's identity, huh?" Trixx commented.
Lily nodded, "Yup. All bloggers want to know the truth."
"Good thing that you're being responsible with your secret identity, Lily." Tikki complimented.
"Thank you, Tikki. Hey, do you guys want to come to the Louvre Museum with me?" Lily questioned.
"Why?" Trixx asked.
"I know that's where our next Akumatized victim will be." Lily replied.
"Really?!" Tikki and Trixx exclaimed in unison.
"Yeah. We should be there to try and stop it." Lily decided.
"You'll also learn about Lady Scarlet there as well." Tikki commented.
"I'm pretty sure I will." Lily said.
Louvre Museum
Lily soon arrived at the Louvre and went over to the Pharaoh Tutankhamen exhibition.
"So that's the Pharaoh Tutankhamen huh?" Trixx whispered, seeing the poster of the Pharaoh.
"Yup." Lily responded.
"Hey, check that out!" Tikki whispered and pointed at the papyrus.
Lily walked over to the papyrus.
{A/N: Ignore the 'enhance' icon on top}
"This has a drawing of one of your previous holders, right Tikki?" Lily whispered.
"Yeah." Tikki confirmed.
Lily looked at the papyrus and spotted the Ladybug hero on it. She quickly got out her phone and took picture of the previous holder. She also spotted Tikki in the papyrus as well and took a picture.
"You're lucky, Tikki. I didn't get another holder until the roman times." Trixx commented.
"What are you doing here, Lily?" A female voice asked.
Lily turned around and saw Alya and Marinette nearby.
"Oh, I was just looking around the exhibit. What are you two here for?" Lily replied.
"I believe that this exhibit might have some information about our superheroes!" Alya beamed.
Lily's eyes widened, "Really?"
"Yeah, if I can find out more, I'll be able to find out Lady Scarlet's identity!" Alya smiled.
"Alya, you do know that superheroes have secret identities for a reason, right?" Lily asked, brow arched.
Just then Jalil runs between Alya and Marinette, carrying a folder full of papers. He pushes past them and trips, papers flying everywhere. His pendant falls, and he picks it up.
"It's not broken!"
"Uh, I'm okay too, thanks for asking." Alya says in annoyance, just as Jalil finished picking up his papers.
"I'm sorry." Jalil apologizes. "Hey, you're in the same grade as Alix, right? I'm her older brother, Jalil Kubdel. So you're into Tutankhamun too?" He looks up and spotted his father coming down the stairs. "Dad!" He then ran towards him.
"He seems to be in a hurry." Marinette commented.
Adrien's Room
Adrien is smiling softly at his computer screen. It displayed various pictures of Lady Scarlet.
"Isn't she beautiful, Plagg." He sighed dreamily.
"Uh huh." Plagg said, not paying attention to the blonde.
"I wonder if we've ever meet each other in our civilian forms. Maybe we even go to the same school!" Adrien rambled in excitement.
"Don't you think you'd know her then?" Plagg eats a piece of his Camembert. "Why bother yourself with ladies when you could be enjoying this?" He gestures to his cheese.
"For one, ladies smell about a thousand times better than that cheese." Adrien retorted in a matter-of-fact tone. "And they're much better looking."
"Suit yourself. Your loss." Plagg begins to devour his cheese.
"My only loss is my appetite." Adrien insulted before turning around to face his computer.
Louvre Museum
The three girls stared at the papyrus boredly.
"So, how are we going to find info about the heroes on this papyrus?" Marinette asked.
"I'm telling you, father, it's right there in the hieroglyphics." Jalil says to his father, Alim, as they both walked up to the papyrus.
He pushes Marinette aside to pass through, causing the said girl to bump into Alya. "Excuse me."
Lily, Tikki and Trixx stifled their laughter at what Jalil had done as the said boy gestured to the papyrus.
"There, as you know, the one with the scepter is Tutankhamun, the first. And there, opposite, is Nefertiti, his princess. There are exactly one hundred mummies beside them. She died several years before him, and the sun god Ra took her as his goddess."
"Yes, I know all that. I'm the director of this exhibition, remember?" Alim reminded his son.
Jalil took off his glasses. "Then you also know that Tutankhamun wanted to bring his Princess back to life, by offering the Sun God a new wife. This seemed to illustrate the ritual he devised. Nobody has ever fully deciphered the hieroglyphics, but I have! It's a magic chant that needs to be recited in order to complete the ritual! I'm sure of it!"
Marinette turns to Alya, rubbing her chin. "He kinda reminds me of someone else with crazy ideas... you!" She points at Alya.
"You might think my theories about Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir are crazy, but you watch, girl, I'll prove you wrong." Alya defended.
"Jalil, these types of frescoes are almost always the illustration of a legend." Mr. Kubdel pointed out. "They called it a legend for a reason." He walks away.
Jalil follows after him. "That's what everyone thinks." He grabs his father's arm. "But I know it's real. I can prove it!"
"Really? Exactly how are you going to prove it?" Alim queried.
"I just need to get my hands on Tutankhamun's scepter and recite the spell!" Jalil reaches for the priceless scepter.
Alim quickly grabs his wrist. "Are you serious? Don't even think of touching that scepter, I'd lose my job on the spot." He turns and begins walking away. "It's a priceless historical object! Not a toy!"
Jalil follows after him. "Come on, dad! We have to try out the spell! What if Tutankhamun had found out how to bring people back to life?"
"Listen, Jalil! That's enough!" Alim strictly told his son. "Get your head out of those papyrus scrolls and focus on the real world! This one!" With that, he leaves.
Jalil drops his papers, looking sad and defeated before running off from the exhibit.
"Poor guy." Lily commented.
"Yeah." Alya and Marinette agreed.
Hawk Moth's Lair
At the mysterious place, the window opens to reveal Hawk Moth.
"There is nothing wrong with living out a fantasy. Especially when I can make it a reality." Hawk Moth held his hand to let a butterfly land. He then covers it with his other hand, as dark energy consumes it.
Then, Hawk Moth opens his hand to reveal an akuma, as it flew out of his hand. "Fly away, my evil akuma and transform that young man!" He continued as the akuma flew out of the window and flies through the city towards its victim.
Outside of Louvre Museum
Outside of the Louvre, Jalil sits down on a bench. Just then, an Akuma came by and flew towards him. But before it could get to him, a yo-yo came out of nowhere and captured it which caused Jalil to yelp in shock.
"Gotcha!" Lady Scarlet said and opened her yo-yo, releasing the purified butterfly, "So long, butterfly."
"Lady Scarlet?" Jalil asked as he walked over to her.
"Thank goodness I caught that Akuma. You would have been turned into a villain." Lady Scarlet stated.
"You're right about that." Jalil agreed.
"So what caused you to be so upset?" Lady Scarlet asked.
"Well, I wanted to prove that the magic chant that needs to be recited in order to complete a ritual was real." Jalil replied.
"Wouldn't that ritual require a sacrifice?" Lady Scarlet inquired.
"Yes, it-" Jalil's eyes widened in realization, "Oh."
"That would mean that an innocent life would be lost. Would you really do that in order to prove that the spell exists?" Lady questioned.
"I-I don't know." Jalil stuttered.
Lady Scarlet placed her hand on his shoulder, and he looked to her, "There are things that aren't meant to be found, sir. Some things need to be kept away and that it doesn't happen to someone else. Not to mention that bringing people back to life disrupts the balance of the world." She stated.
Jalil let out a sigh and looked to the ground. "Perhaps you're right. My dad is also right. I should focus more on the real world." He admitted.
"You know, there's nothing wrong on learning upon legends. It's true that there is some truth in some legends. Maybe you should research on what made the legends." Lady Scarlet offered.
Jalil tapped his chin in thought, "That might be a good idea. Thanks, Lady Scarlet." He thanked her.
Lady Scarlet smiled, "You're welcome."
Then Jalil took off towards the Louvre. Lady Scarlet quickly went into an alley.
"Tikki, Spots Off." Lily whispered.
Lady Scarlet transformed back into Lily. She and her two Kwamis let out sighs of relief.
"That was a close one." Trixx commented.
"Yeah." Lily agreed.
"Good thing you went after him." Tikki praised as she ate a macaron.
Lily nodded with a smile, "Hopefully, things will turn out okay for Jalil." She prayed.
"I have a good feeling they will." Trixx assured her.
Hawk Moth's Lair
"You may have escaped this time, but mark my words, Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir, someday, wherever you are, I will obtain your Miraculouses, and you'll be nothing! Absolutely nothing!" Hawk Moth declared as the window closes.
Inside Louvre Musuem
Lily was walking around the museum and spotted Jalil talking with his father again.
"I want to apologize for what I tried to pull, dad." Jalil apologized.
"Jalil, I was just worried about you. I know that you like legends, but mostly everyone wants to hear the real facts." Alim admitted.
"I know. I realized that just now. Even though you want me to stay away from the papyrus, I want to research on how the legends came to be. Like, trying to figure out the truth and meaning of the legend." Jalil explained.
Alim taps his chin in thought for a moment and nodded, "I suppose I could let you research about legends. But don't try reciting any magic spells or something like that." He said.
"Don't worry, I won't." Jalil promised.
Lily smiled at this. She was glad that Jalil was able to make up with his dad. It was also a good thing that she was able to capture the Akuma before Jalil became the Pharaoh. With nothing else to do, Lily and her Kwamis left the museum to head back home.
Lily's room at night
Lily is in her bed while reading her history book.
"So Kwamis have been around for a long time, huh?" Lily asked with Trixx sitting on her right shoulder.
"Yup. Kwamis like me and Trixx and superheroes like you have always existed!" Tikki reveals, sitting on top of the History book.
"Yeah! They've done great and heroic things!" Trixx added.
"So... that wasn't you in the papyrus either?" Lily asked, pointing at a small spotted creature that looked a lot like Tikki on the papyrus on the page of the book.
"What do you think?" Tikki asked.
"It does kind of look like you, Tikki." Trixx commented, looking at the picture.
"I agree. But you don't look 5,000 years old." Lily smiled, rubbing her Kwami's head with her index finger.
Tikki giggles at this. "Well, I'm not! I'm older than that! I'm the Kwami who's watched over every single Lady Scarlet since the very beginning!"
"Me too! I've been with all of my holders as well!" Trixx added.
"You must've known more brave and skilled Lady Scarlet's than me, right?" Lily smiled sadly.
"Every Lady Scarlet is different." Tikki says.
"Is it because I'm a transmigrator?" Lily asked.
"I don't think so." Trixx replied.
"Lily, you are different." Tikki pushes the brunette's head up by her nose.
"But different as in surprising, unpredictable and endearing." Trixx stated.
"And very talented. You learn fast." Tikki added.
Lily smiles and takes Tikki and Trixx in her hands, kissing their foreheads, "Thank you, Tikki. Thank you, Trixx."
"You better get to sleep. Remember, you have that history test tomorrow!" Tikki reminded the brunette.
"Yeah!" Trixx agreed.
"Good thing it's on Ancient Egypt." Lily replied.
The three giggled.
A/N: This is what I pictured Lily Rossi to look like (Just imagine her with hazel-green eyes). The reason why I want to change the look was because I could hardly find any drawings of Lila looking nice or innocent. So I chose this image. Hope you like it. Artwork doesn't belong to me, it belongs to the original artist.
