Miraculous Ladybug Fun Fan Comic: “[Enter Title Here]” ROUGH DRAFT
Hey-o! So I’m working on a big personal project that might take a bit to get together due to my unruly work schedule, but I had a friend encourage me to post at least part of the script I’m working on to see if it had some interest. It is a “reveal” comic that I plan on drawing out, but I’m trying as hard as I can to keep it as close to a real episode as possible. I’ve only thought so far and the draft is subject to change, but here’s a peek of what I’ve got:
-----------------
Scene:
[Calm Paris scene, birds chirping and flower box on an open balcony prominent. A distant screaming can be heard, growing closer, before a blurred figure crashes into the lone tree in the clearing, startling birds.]
Chat Noir:
WAHHHHHHH-!
[Chat Noir leans up, coming into view, looking winded but relived, with various twigs and leafs sticking to his hair. ]
Chat Noir:
Guess I should’ve worn a seat belt.
[Rustling his hair, Chat looks determined once more.]
CN:
I better not keep M’lady waiting~
[Sitting up, he notices the previously mentioned flowers. Staring one moment, then smiling thoughtfully the next.]
[Meanwhile, in a busier part of town with crossroads and heavy traffic. Ladybug twirling her yoyo, looking defensive.]
[Off panel] RR:
Give up now Ladybug! Your Miraculous are as good as mine, for no one can stand against the power of-
[Reveal panel of Akuma villain, skintight suit ( ??? design TBD), with a freaky vehicle revving up. RR points dramatically.]
RR:
ROAD RAGE!!!
[Car zooms by LB, who deftly dodges it with a spin. She reposes herself, with Chat Noir vaulting down via staff to join her side.]
CN:
Miss me Bugaboo?
LB:
Chat Noir! You okay?
CN:
Of course! Didn’t you know? Cats /always/ land on their feet.
[Car zooms through them, RR laughing manically. Chat Noir bolts away with a twist, LB jumping to the side once more. Mid-air LB sees a pedestrian directly in the vehicle’s path, looking shocked and surprised.]
LB:
CHAT NOIR!
CN:
On it!
[Chat lands and wields his staff like a bat. Arms held back, LB lands on the end, and with a swing, Chat sends LB flying towards the civilian. With a streamline form, LB flys into the civilian, shoving the both of them out of the way before the Vehicle crashes abruptly, looking very totaled.]
LB:
That was close… [To civilian] Are you okay?
[Civilan stands up, face beaming with excitement. She holds a scrapbook in front of her chest and sports a cute paper flower in her hair.]
Kiyoko:
[speaking broken french/english] Ahh! Ladybug and Chat Noir! No way NO WAY! So cool!
[Ki opens and holds out scrapbook towards LB and Chat. It’s turned to a themed page featuring pictures of the two heroes, with obvious empty spaces.]
Ki:
Can you sign this for me?! It’ll make my whole trip!
[RR climbs out of the car, Chat alerted to him]
CN:
Ladybug!
LB:
[!!!] Just… Get to somewhere safe! It’s dangerous here.
Ki:
Ah! B-but-
LB:
[Runs off] Leave this to us!
[Ki looks confused and disappointed, staring down at her scrapbook; before looking back up with determination.]
[LB and Chat run towards RR with their weapons drawn.]
LB:
Now! Before he-!
[They both lunge forward, LB throwing her yoyo, but RR already reaches another car, slamming his steering wheel on top of the one already there. It glows, transforming into another funky car similar to the previous one. Slamming his foot on the gas, he rushes forward, laughing. LB’s yoyo bounces off the car, and both twist to dodge again, barely making it. They recover, LB looking forward with Chat watching as well.]
LB:
I think the akuma must be in his steering wheel. [zoom in on object] That would explain how he’s able to switch vehicles.
CN:
I’d say you’re /spot/ on there, LB.
[LB shoots a glare at Chat, while he shamelessly smirks.]
LB:
You’re intolerable.
[She returns to being serious.]
LB:
We need to get Road Rage off the street, away from all these cars and anyone else who can get hurt with his reckless driving…
Chat:
We can use that to our advantage.
[LB raises an eyebrow]
LB:
You have a plan Kitty?
Chat:
Just follow my lead [winks]
[RR Swerves his car, monologue going strong]
RR:
You may dodge now, but soon all the world’s streets will belong to ROAD RAGE! No longer will there be hours of waiting in bumper to bumper traffic, hours of delays or inconsiderate cutoffs! Imagine! Roads with no speed limits, fines or even lines! THESE ARE THE ROADS THAT WILL BE WORTHY OF ROAD RAGE!
CN:
Hate to /spoil/ the fun, but as long as we’re here, all your plans are just gonna run on empty
[LB and Chat hold confident battle poses, taunting RR. RR growls, shifting gears and stepping on the gas; heading straight towards them.]
RR:
Not if you’re roadkill! HAHAHAHA!!!
[The car draws closer, but LB and Chat share a smile before dodging once more; this time revealing a makeshift ramp leading straight into the front of a building. The sign on the door says ‘closed’. RR yells, the car flying up the ramp and slamming into two pillars boarding the entrance. Upon impact, RR flies out of his seat, crashing straight through the door causing it to collapse as he disappears inside. Dust fills the air in the aftermath, and vague outlines of LB and Chat can be seen approaching.]
LB:
Looks like you should’ve been wearing a seat belt Road Rage!
CN:
I made that joke already.
LB:
What? When?
CN:
Earlier.
LB:
[grumble] Whatever… [Serious] Regardless, now we’ve got Road Rage off the street!
CN:
-and away from any other vehicles he could take over. You’re welcome M’lady~
[Dust settles, revealing our heros. As they take a look at the scene, LB’s expression changes to surprise, while Chat’s changes to shock. The building is revealed to house various display vehicles, a large banner proclaiming that it hosting an automobile expo. Ladybug regards Chat sarcastically.]
LB:
Just your luck. /Thanks/ Chat.
[Laughing is heard off panel with a rumble from an engine. Revving around a corner, the bulkiest akumatized vehicle yet rounds a corner, before screeching to a halt before the two heros. Almost smugly, RR reaches over his shoulder, and pulls his seat belt down into place with a pointed ‘click’.]
CN:
I think it might be that time…
[LB frowns, throwing her yoyo into the air]
LB:
LUCKY CHARM!
[A bright flash hides the yo yo, before revealing…]
~~~To be continued...!~~~
