I was rushing over to city hall because Alya had notified me of Chloe's plan. I had already seen this coming, of course, which is why I had already finished writing my speech. Well, the pointers of my speech, I plan to just wing it from here. I'm not worried, it's pretty easy to do so.
Before leaving, I had already made sure anything that Chloe could use against me in case she comes to my home was locked away. No one's there anyway, so I not worried about that either.
After a few more minutes of running, I had finally reached city hall. Why didn't I take a bus?
"I am pleased to welcome you all to the official launch of Chloe's electoral campaign," said Mayor Bourgeois. You mean Chloe's bribery party?
"And a special thanks to world famous pop star Jagged Stone for endorsing her!" Jagged looks like a dead zombie, how much did they have to pay him?
"And if you vote for me, you'll get free tickets to Jagged's next concert!" Said Chloe.
I walked up to the line, and to my horror, saw Marinette and Alya holding the goods from Chloe. Add that to the list of top ten anime betrayals.
"Nice autograph you have there, girls."
"Y-Yin!" They both said, stuttering like deer's caught in headlights.
"Sorry, girl, but we got you on too!" Said Alya, holding up an extra copy.
"Thanks, but I'm not exactly a fan of his. I'll still keep it though. I could probably sell it," I said.
"What? How can you not be a fan?" Asked Marinette.
"Look, can we talk about that later? I have things to say to our classmates."
"Hey, do you guys all realize you're being bribed? Concert tickets are nice, but they won't last. The classroom problems won't be solved by them either," I told the students waiting in line.
"We're just here for the autographs, dude. Do you really think it's Chloe we're voting for?" Asked Nino.
"Okay, that's honestly worse," I said.
"What's your campaign then, Yin?" Asked Nathaniel. And I thought he was on my side.
"Well, I've thought about the problems you guys gave me before and I think that I have the answers.
"Rose, you said the classroom chairs are too uncomfortable, right? Well instead of changing the chairs, I think we can use cushions instead. It's cheaper, and it works just as well. And everyone can customize their own cushion and make it whatever color they want, which means that yours can be pink, Rose."
Hearing this, she squealed in delight.
"And Nino, about listening to beats in the library, I think I can persuade the librarian to allow it, as long as you're wearing headphones and don't singing out loud of course."
"Sweet, dude!" Said Nino.
"Remarkable, you actually sound like a class representative! Too bad you don't have a chance of winning," laughed Chloe. Then, she leaned into my ear. "A word."
"Ew, get away from me, your makeup smells!" I said, pushing her away.
"How dare you!" She pulled me to a corner and took out a phone.
"At first I was going to let it go after you give up, but now, I'm only considering. You better drop out of the election, now, or else I'll embarrass you in front of the whole of Paris!"
She turn the screen of the phone she was holding towards me. It was a picture of Yin's library.
"Tell everyone that you've given up, then I'll delete it!" Said Chloe smugly.
"Um, no?" What is she doing? Is she really trying to get me out with this? How stupid is she?
"Fine! I'll send the photo to everyone!" She typed a few things and held in to my face again.
Under the photo, a message read: Look how nerdy Yin is, so many books! Is this who you want as your class rep?
"Thanks Chloe," I said, smiling. "Now everyone will know you snuck into my house without permission, no one's going to vote for someone like that. Adios!"
I grinned to myself as I heard Chloe's angry shouts. But that moment of triumph didn't last long.
I heard trumpet noises outside the hall. Dark Blade is here, which meant that Chat probably as too. Well, gotta face him sooner or later.
I quickly ran to Marinette.
"I think it's an akuma! You have to go transform!"
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Yes, look!" I pointed out a window.
An army of knights in black armor and green highlights stood outside.
"Okay, I'll go!" She ran up the stairs to look for a hiding spot. Meanwhile, I joined Alya at the door of city hall.
"Oye, oye. Dark Blade shall speak now!" Said one knight.
A knight that was different from the others came from. "Listen, or be imprisoned. Henceforth, my flag shall fly over thy kingdom! Bourgeois! Pathetic knave! Come hither and do battle!"
"Um, what did he say?" Asked Mayor Bourgeois. How is he the mayor?
"Basically," I told him. "He wants you to come out so he can kick your ass."
Mayor Bourgeois still looked confused. "Uh, ask my secretary for an appointment!" Saying that, he slammed the door closed.
I heard laughter outside as Dark Blade said, "Face the wrath of Dark Blade or fear the wrath of my sword!" Either choice, Mayor Bourgeois is dead meat.
Then, there was a new voice outside. Chat Noir. Doki, doki indeed, my dear heart.
He started attacking the knights, knocking out a few at once.
"Take him!" Would you like a side of mash potato with that order, sir?
"Guys," said Chat. "Do you only know heavy metal?"
Gosh, I love him. Wait, no! It's just a small crush that's not going to become anything...How small is small again? Anyways, shut up and focus.
He continued taking out the knights, but was suddenly ambushed by a bunch of knight jumping on top of him.
Oof. Be careful, Chat. And hurry!
He managed to get all of the knights off of him. Unfortunately, this only resulted with him getting attacked by Dark Blade.
This battle then resulted to Jagged Stone thinking that it was the sound of crazed fans, making him run out of his chair and into the middle of the fight. What an AI. This is what I call an idiot.
And to make it worse, he doesn't realize that the 'fans' in front of him are victims of an akumatised person. A true AI.
"Guys, guys," said Jagged. "I know you love me, but there's no reason to fight over it!"
Dark Blade also didn't understand what Jagged said and asked, "Are you the usurper's champion?"
"Say what?"
Dark Blade didn't answer him and turned him into one of his knights.
"Oh, no!" Cried Chloe. The girl wasn't even this worried when her father was threatened.
