Pulling the curtains over the windows, Master Fu turns to his client. “Are you ready?” He asks, walking over to the incense. The man nods, laying down on the mat across the floor. Before Master Fu can light the incense, however, he spots a small green turtle poking his head out of the phonograph. Alarmed, Fu quickly walks over to the kwami, placing his body in between it and the man on the floor.
“Just one moment sir, I have to check something.” He says, quickly grabbing the kwami and walking out of the room. “What is it?” He asks, once the door is closed behind them.
Wayzz looks up at him with a panicked look on its face. “The butterfly. It’s active again… and it seems that the trend of evil has continued.”
Master Fu’s eyes widen, and he lets out a curse that would’ve made his mother cry, had she still been alive. “Are you serious? I thought it had been lost forever.” The kwami nods. Groaning, Fu runs a hand through his hair. “I’m too old for this. The only one who can purify an akuma is the Miraculous of Creation. Is that correct, Wayzz?”
Wayzz nods. “Yes, Master. It seems it is time to find some new holders. You are no longer fit to fight, especially not on your own.”
Master Fu nods, sighing as he walks back into the room. “I’m very sorry sir, but I’m afraid something very urgent has come up, and I must cancel our appointment.”
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
“What?!” The man exclaims, “But I’ve been waiting on this appointment for weeks! You can’t just cancel it after I’ve made this whole trip!”
Master Fu just scowls, pushing him up and out of the room. “I’ll give you a full refund later. Right now, I have urgent issues to attend to and do not have time to deal with your anger.” The man tries to protest again, but Fu shuts the door on him, quickly locking it before the man can try to open it again. He listens to the man rant angrily through the door for a minute before finally giving up and leaving.
Walking over to the phonograph and pushing the sequence of buttons to unlock the secret compartment, he waits impatiently for the elaborate box to finish opening. Grabbing the two miraculous’, he calls them from their jewelry. Once they finish manifesting he quickly fills them in on the situation. “I need you two to help me pick the next holders. I am an old man, and cannot hope to stand against this new threat.” They both nod, serious looks on both of their faces. They knew all too well how dangerous the butterfly miraculous could be when it was in the wrong hands.
Leaving the little building that Master Fu called home, they set out to find the best people for the job. Their first mission was to find the akumatized victim. That was where the search could properly begin. The terror that the being would bring out was enough to show the best and the worst of people. It was the best opportunity to find the ones who would be able to stand up against the true villain, and any more Akumas that might appear before the holder could be dealt with.
Crossing the street, Master Fu quickly pinpoints the direction of the monster. Nothing else would be throwing a car high enough to be seen above the city buildings. Not to mention the screaming and running crowd.
Master Fu smiles grimly. It was time to see if there was anyone worthy of such a gift.
