Miraculous Ladybug - Team Sleepover for the Heroes (Private for Zack)

[Sarvan]

King Monkey's reaction caused quite a chuckle to Phénix himself, as he knew the soda was as clean and fresh as it was before, but why spoil the fun? He simply shrugged his shoulder and leaned against the snack table, listening to Byakko's words.

Even Chat Noir listened to him, as he had only heard the very basics about the White Tiger miraculous and, considering it wasn't part of Master Fu's box, it was something he wouldn't have been able to learn otherwise. When the Tiger hero had finished his tale, he whistled and remarked: "Wow, Byakko! That's a great offensive power! Although, not as awesome and powerful as the one of yours truly, but still impressive!". Of course, he had to brag a little about himself while even complimenting his friend, but it wasn't a sordid comment like Monkey King, who even Chat Noir recalled with a disapproving look.

Viperion, too, dismissed him but in an irony, saying from his armchair: "Well, if he wants to give Hawk Moth dozens of girls to akumatize, than I agree he should!".

Their laughs, however, were soon dismissed by Phénix's miraculous. The Rooster herohimself cried: "Damn it! I forgot that every single drop counted like one a restoration! Ahhhh! What do I do, what do I do?!", starting to panic and walking back and forth on the spot. He couldn't be the first idiot to burst his hero persona by mistake! Not in front of the people he had to fight with! Was he going to ruin everything just because he wanted to be a little cocky with the other heroes?

Phénix quickly grabbed one of the bowls Adrien had originally filled with chips: luckily, Orikko had moved on from just seeds, so maybe that could work too. He pulled up the table cloth which, luckily, was long enough to reach the floor, and kneeled down saying: "I'm so sorry, guys! I have to let my kwami rest a little after detransforming, but I'll still hear what you say! Just please don't look under it!".

He immediately hid there and there was a little orange light coming from beneath the table cloth. Nathaniel was now sitting on the floor, breathing and sweating so much from he wasn't even bothering with Orikko who, rather angry, was once again pecking his head while whispering: "You idiot! You idiot! You idiot!".

[Zack]

After that little alarm the emotion of the subject of powers vanished.

-Then we have teleportation, absolute destruction, wind, restoration, second chance and drive the powers of others crazy.- Monkey King said remembering everyone's powers.

-Well, yes.- Pegasec said adjusting his glasses. He would have liked a more formal list of his powers. -Without a doubt we can achieve efficient agreements between us.-

Byakko approached the table, interested in meeting the kwami of the rooster. -Sounds like he's full of life.- Byakko commented with a kind smile, although Nathaniel can't see her. -Hello, Orikko.-

[Sarvan]

"You're right, I think all our powers together could turn into a beautiful symphony" Viperion agreed with Pegasus, turning on his armchair and playing in the air as if he had a piano beneath him, "We need to find the best way to play it, still. Every instrument has its part, so we can't just do the same thing".

Chat Noir nodded, throwing his staff in the air and then making a few slashes after recatching it. "We need to make the best of our powers and skills! I think it should be oblivious I'm the best at fighting front face, just like I always do with Ladybug!". He was quite proud of his prowess in battle, especially after his single experience as Mister Bug. "Then I suppose Byakko too, his power could be helpful in battle... and then... uhm..." the blond boy started to count on his fingers, before stopping.

Slightly away from the other heroes, back at the snack table, Orikko flew from under the cloth, muttering a little exhausted: "Please have patience with..." but, as he was going to give away his owner's name, some bubbles came out instead. The kwami shook his head and said: "My owner means good, sometimes he just gets ahead of himself around people. But after all, with an awesome power like mine, who can blame him?", raising his little crest with pride. Orikko then started to fly all around the White Tiger hero rather curios: "Speaking of awesome things, hello, mysterious Hero! I've don't recall you or your kwami, so how do you know me? Have we met before? ".

[Zack]

-For the data I've been able to collect...- Pegasec started talking. -Chat noir is the best in fighting with fencing style or other type of sword. Byakko is better for close combat. Monkey King is quite skilled with his cane.-

Monkey King spins his cane, throws it into the air as it spins and catches it dry. Just to prove.

-The 3 have great agility and reflexes that make them ideal fighters for close range combat. While I am better at ranged attacks.- Pegasec said and then threw his horseshoe to the wall, bounced towards the door, then on the floor, to the ceiling and back to his hand. As he calculated. -Phoenix also seems to be the type of ranged combat. All this talking about fighting without using the powers.- He explained.

Although Pegasec does not know Viperior's fighting style well and has seen very little of Phenix to comment on it. While his powers are impressive they are like a wild card when fighting.

-Oh! Oh!- Monkey King raises his hand energetically to get attention. -There could be a portal and Chat noir can use your Cataclysm and pass your hand to destroy objects at a distance! Or I could throw my banana too!-

Byakko laughs softly to see how the rooster defends his partner and boasts of himself at the same time. The tiger smiles when he sees the kwami ​​fly around him showing interest in him.

-No, we've met so far. My kwami, Bykker, has told me a little about the other miraculous and kwamis. Although it gets somewhat nostalgic since it has been almost 200 years since they separated.- He did not want to mention directly the incident of the miraculous temple, it is enough that that appeared in the news.

-So, nice to meet you, Orikko.- The tiger extends a finger to greet the little being.

[Sarvan]

"Yeah! I work better within the long-range too! I... well, close quarters or offense aren't my strongest point" Nathaniel added too, although still hiding under the table. "But I can support you guys if you need to recover from an attack!" he added, on second thought. He had to show his new comrades he was a strong a reliable hero on the battlefield, after all.

"I think I'm like Phénix, here" Viperion said, raising his arm and showing his Snake miraculous, "I can go return to a previous moment in time after marking it, so if anything goes wrong I can help you by going back and fix that mistake". He then rummaged behind his back and took his Lyre and started to play it: "Unfortunately this can't cause too much damage, but I guess it should work like your horseshoe, Pegasus".

After hearing those explanations from his friends Chat Noir rubbed his head and, looking up for a moment, remarked: "Uhm... Seems to me are well rounded in all the main aspects, on paper". Then, he flipped his own staff and extended it up until the snack table: there, he collected a can of cola and, with careful and little flips of his palm, made it roll back in his hand. He opened it and took a couple of long drinks, before giving a rather eloquent look at Monkey King and his little show with the cane. "But when it comes to practice then it's quite different" he added with a rather cocky smile.

"Oh! Then your kwami must be Byker! That truly brings me back..." Orikko smiled and grabbed Byakko's finger with his little wings, shaking it: "I'm so happy to hear he's ok and has met a new holder! It's been so long since we've seen each other, I hope he hasn't suffered too much without us around, especially me...". He was genuinely happy to hear one of his friends was fine even after so many years, but as usual, overestimating his own importance.

"We should meet together inside our musical box with all the other kwamis, someday!" Orikko proposed happily, even doing a backflip. He then flew near Byakko's face and, raising his little wing as if he was going to whisper, added: "Don't worry, we won't leave you without Byker. After all, my owner misses me when I'm not around him, he even...".

"Orikko!" Nathaniel said from under the table, shaking the chips box on the floor with only his arm exposed. "Don't talk about me as if I weren't here!" he said, and glad no one could see him blushing. The Rooster kwami, still, knew it but simply landed on the edge of the bowl and started pecking the food.

[Zack]

-We could practice some movements and combinations.- Monkey King said standing up. -We should try to organize a combat practice session and try combinations, tomorrow.- He takes his cane and places one end next to a bowl of potatoes, hits the table with enough table for the bowl to rise, place his cane down and then he throws the bowl at him catching the bowl without dropping a crumb. -Now we should take advantage that the night is calm and have a little fun! This place is ready for a party and I think we are too! - The monkey hero said wanting everyone to have fun.

A meeting of heroes is rare and especially one of only boys. The place is quite good as is the company.

-I guess it's a good idea to relax our bodies and minds before starting to train.- Pegasec had to agree with Monkey King. Actually this looks good enough to let it go.

Byakko laughs when he sees how energetic the kwami ​​of the rooster is, a little self-centered but somewhat tolerable. Then he laughs when he sees that the bearer of the miraculous is ashamed.

-You don't have to feel sorry. I don't know what I would do without Byker. He and I have been together for almost 8 years, he is more than a companion, he is my family.- The tiger said sincerely. He can't imagine a life without Byker now.

[Sarvan]

"I like the sound of that!" Viperion said in agreement, playing his lyre with a now cheerful tune. "It's barely sunset, if we can put ourselves at ease now then we'll spar together even better! And there're many ways to get to understand each other".

Chat Noir, a little annoyed at Monkey King, took another couple of drinks while thinking. He was technically the host, but at the same time the idea of having fun with his comrades before "working" was quite alluring. Especially because his father was a little strict about parties and fun with friends, "a little" being a euphemism. So, he flipped his staff across his fingers and from one hand to the other, before putting it on his shoulder and saying: "Alright, I guess a little fun together won't hurt! So, what should we do firstly? Eat something? Dance? Play tag?". He grinned at the last thing, giving quite a smug smile at his guests: "Just be warned, cats are extraordinary hunters!".

"Ah, what a sweet bond you two have!" Orikko remarked rather chippy while eating another chip, "I wish I could be like you too, fighting with my holder like the old days!". He stopped for a second, lowering his face and adding with a rather melancholic tone: "But with Hawk Moth around we have to hide for the majority of the time, so I can't do that...".
Sadness and pity, however, weren't attributes for a rooster, so Orikko quickly shook his head and came back to his usual self: "Of course, I'm really happy when I can show this city how amazing I am, and what an incredible owner I have!".

"Orikko..." Nathaniel said from beneath the table cloth, a full smile on his face from the happiness: "Did you... publicly complimented me?". The young artist would've never expected his kwami to praise someone else in the same sentence with himself.

"When he doesn't mess around with my powers, that idiot!" Orikko added with a pouty face, causing Nathaniel to groan and adding grumpily: "Yeah, I like you too..."

[Zack]

-Did you hear a challenge?- King monkey stands up and approaches Chat noir with a smile. Kim could never resist the challenges. -Because if we are good at something, the monkeys are moving, kitty.- He said and touched the rattle of the black cat.

-I'm not good at dancing, but a dance competition between heroes? When will I be able to see that again? The odds are slim.- Pegasec said with encouragement to participate despite not being good at the game.

-Things will change, we will beat him and Mayura, we will rescue Nooroo and Duusu and Paris can live in peace. That includes Kwamis and bearers.- Byakko says with firm determination. He not only thinks of Paris and the miraculous, but also the kwamis. If Shiro should thank someone for having come this far, that is undoubtedly Byker, who has accompanied him for so many years saving the white-haired boy from solitude.

Byakko listened as the others began to talk about the dance game and then shivered from the nerves. -D-dance?- The tiger swallows. -I... I haven't danced in my life.-

[Sarvan]

"Oh really?" Chat Noir asked as he catced the finger Monkey King was pressing on his bell: giving it a little push, the cat hero made him spin on himself before grabbing his hands and back and making Monkey King end up in a tango-styled lunge. "Can your moving around count as dance, I wonder" Chat Noir sarcastically wondered, even blinking at the monkey hero.

"You don't need to be good at dancing, the music alone speaks and moves your body" Viperion said to Pegasus, playing his lyre and making it spin as if it was one of his guitars. He himself wasn't a dancer, but being a musician he thought music could easily teach the right moves.

"I can't wait to meet Nooroo and Duusu again too! I hope they're okay!" Orikko agreed, opening his wings in exicitement, "I'll show that Hawk Moth what happens when you mess with my friends!".

At the same time, Nathaniel too had listened to the other heroes' plans and, gulping, said: "E-ehm... Couldn't we do something else? I... I mean, with all you guys looking at me...". He knew how to dance, and he rather enjoyed it too, but he had a case of stage fright especially in front of people who could've laughed at him.

Still, when he heard Byakko's own concern, the red haired boy tryed to help him at the best of his abilities. "Don't worry, Byakko, it's not hard as it looks. Even I was afraid at first, but it's easy to learn and it's a lot of fun!" Nathaniel told the White Tiger.

[Zack]

Monkey King blinks surprised that Chat noir did something like that, not because he considered the cat to be unable to do it, if not for how sudden it was. But Kim knew how to respond to something like that, well, in this case at least. -I didn't think you wanted me as a partner for a dance as passionate as tango.- He said and winked at Chat noir as if he were flirting and then stood up, freeing himself from the hands of the black cat.

-These games don't have ballroom dancing, but if you're so sure of yourself, you won't mind turning this into a real challenge.- Kim said defiantly wanting to increase the level of competition. -You and I, who makes less points in the dance game should ... em ...- Monkey King looks around trying to think of something.

-I'm better listening to the numbers.- Pegasec said scratching his neck. -But I'll try, it's something to have fun.- He said until I hear what happens between the monkey and the cat. -At least the majority.- The horse said without losing its spirits, he is used to these things by being Kim's friend. This seems like a typical academy scene but with super hero costumes.

-I ... I'll try ...- Byakko says trying to hide his nerves. -Get out when you're ready. And don't worry because they are watching you ...- The tiger started talking while standing up. -... better worry that I will not break anything with my terrible dance steps. - He said half jokingly, but yes, it hurts to see how the white feline dances.

Meanwhile, Pegasec is getting ready the dance game console and the carpets were ready. You can only play up to 2 people at the same time.

In that, Monkey King sees the backpacks and comes up with an idea, which he whispers in Chat noir's ear so that others don't listen. -The loser should put a couple of his briefs over the clothes for the rest of the night.-
