“Did you know there are multiple universes?”
Chat noir was taken aback by the question, almost as much as he was by the fact there was some weird version of himself, but this one was clad in white, his black hero suit was now as white as snow, even his blond hair was bleached white.
Though if he had to describe what was the most unsettling, it would be the blue as ice eyes. The green sclera that he had was now a blue that seemed both beautiful and eerie.
Chat noir was planning on meeting with Ladybug only to be stopped by a mysterious white crack appearing in front of him. Only for this cat to pop out and ask him that question.
“What… what do you mean?” Chat noir managed to speak.
The white clad cat smiled.
“Come on, you’re telling me you’ve never read comics? Watched anime? We both know you have.”
His words seemed playful yet disturbed. His Cheshire grin and wide eyes only exacerbated the feeling of unease.
“You’re… from another universe?”
“DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! That’s right Chat noir. I am a version of you from another universe. Though I will say I’m a bit different.” He exclaimed.
“You mean aside from falling into white paint.” Chat noir joked. He clearly wanted to disarm the tension present.
“I see we haven’t lost our observational skills. Yes, my color scheme is different, but I’m very much you. Well, I suppose I have a different name now. I am Chat Blanc.” He stated clearly.
Chat noir was about to speak but felt his voice die. This iteration of him… it couldn’t be real. It had to be a trick. One of Monarch’s lies.
Chat blanc noticed the black clad hero shift into a battle stance.
“You must think I’m an illusion or sentimonster. But let me assure you…”
He moved quickly, as if destroying the space between them to get close.
“I am you Adrien.” He whispered.
A yo-yo wrapped around Chat noir’s waist and yanked him back.
Chat noir landed on a rooftop a good distance away from chat blanc.
“My Lady?! Oh thank kwami you’re here.”
He expected a sort of comment from his spotted partner, but she was alarmingly quiet.
“Ladybug?”
Chat noir looked closer to see her expression, it was one that was a conclave of emotion, but one emotion was clearly present, fear.
Chat blanc looked up to see the two heroes on another roof.
“My Lady! So you do exist in this universe as well! I am happy to see you once again.” The white cat’s statement rang genuine, but to ladybug, it may as well have been the most vile of insults.
“You shouldn’t exist anymore, how are you here?” Ladybug asked, her voice trying to fight her fear by sounding angry.
“Shouldn’t exist? My lady I… Oh! You’ve met a version of me. And unlike the ones I’ve met, you managed to defeat me. I’m surprised though, I didn’t think miraculous healing could restore the world.”
Chat noir looked at Ladybug.
“What is he talking about?”
Ladybug felt her stomach flip, this was far too much to handle. This chat blanc needed to be saved.
“Kitty, we need to deakumatize him, we can not let him use his powers anymore than he has. I promise I will explain everything after.”
Chat noir could tell that this would be a lot to explain, and agreed to ladybug’s terms.
Chat blanc frowns
“So he doesn’t know? Then that means… oh you aren’t a version of my lady that knew me, you are a version of the one Bunnyx sent. My how interesting!”
Chat noir charged at Chat Blanc. He noticed this version of him didn’t have a belt, or a baton. He had an advantage! This thought was clearly dismissed when before Chat noir could strike him with his staff, he was gone.
“What? Where did he go?” Chat noir exclaimed in disbelief.
Ladybug had her Yo-yo drawn and looked around frantically. He was there but then he wasn’t.
“You know how versatile infinite destruction is? I failed to see its potential at first. But now, I’ve got a pretty good grasp on it.”
Ladybug turned quickly to see chat blanc was behind her.
“I can destroy anything, including the space between objects. After losing my baton, I learned of a much faster means of movement.”
Ladybug swung her yo-yo only for chat blanc to vanish from view again.
“You will have to be quicker than that Bugaboo.”
Chat blanc was behind her again.
Ladybug Jumped forward to escape his grasp. But chat blanc appeared in front of her, catching her hand.
Chat noir got back on the rooftop and drew his staff.
“Let her go!”
Chat blanc twisted her arm behind her back and used his other hand to point at her head. A small white ball of destructive energy was in between his finger and her head.
“Easy there you two. As much as I would LOVE to play cat and mouse. I’m only here for one thing, your miraculous.”
Chat noir felt a pit of anger well up in him.
“So… your just a puppet for monarch.”
Chat blanc blinked.
“Monarch? Is that what he is calling himself in this universe?! How pretentious! But knowing him, this isn’t surprising. It’s funny how little you miss a man that emotionally abused you and batted you across Paris all for a wish.”
Chat noir felt his spine shiver. What did this iteration of him do?
Ladybug was trying to figure a way out of the situation. But chat blanc had his grip locked, and one false move would mean her end.
Chat blanc suddenly releases Ladybug.
“You know, I just realized! What I should be doing. Before I take your miraculous. I should give that old man a piece of my mind. I accidentally destroyed him in my universe, I should do it with intention this time!”
Before they could react, Chat Blanc disappeared.
Ladybug fell to her knees, she was breathing heavily.
Chat noir rushed to ladybug’s side.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m not hurt… but I’m a long way from okay.”
Ladybug got up
“We need to stop Chat Blanc.”
Chat noir looked at his black gloves hands and clenched them.
“He said he was going after Monarch… does that mean…”
“If he is who he says he is, then this chat blanc knows all our identities, and he is the most dangerous foe I’ve ever faced.”
“How did you beat him last time?”
“I appealed to his good side… I don’t know if this version still has it. If he doesn’t… our world is in great danger.”
