## Story

*Jessica and Aeon are seen walking into Mr. Gate’s classroom. The two of them sit in the middle round table, facing the teacher. They’re followed by their other classmates.*

**Mr. Gate:** *clap clap* “Alright, younglings, I got a video to share with you from Ms. Hombee the president of the US!”

*The class begins to clap.*

**Ms. Hombee:** “Alright class, today, you guys are gonna start your training, we need to make sure our new branch of students are ready for the world. To begin, we’ll be taking the Brains Assessment.”

**Jessica:** “Oh great.. Just what I needed.” *I whispered to Aeon.* “I already had a long morning with Monk Abooksigun.”

**Aeon:** “Cheer up, this day can be worse.”

*Spoilers, it did. You're probably wondering, who am I? Who’s Monk Abooksigun, or as I like to call him Monk A and all these other questions, but to explain that we have to rewind. My name is Jessica Keynes and a couple months ago, me, my best friend, Aeon, and two others. During this, me and my superhero identity, Sparrow.*

*However, recently I got the miraculous of the Eagle and my new identity is the Eagle. I do good behind the shadows, because as far as I must know, nobody can know about my powers. My mother, Barbara, fears someone learning my secret. Oh and Monk A, he is the holder of the Native Miracle Box, that’s where my Miraculous comes from. He lives in a tiny room on the alley way of Mott, Broome street. He says it’s enough for him, though I suspect he's probably lying about that. Back to my class, Aeon’s my best friend, me and her work together with Monk A to stop sneaky villains.*

*The class approaches the testing room, each of which sit in a seat, Aeon is sitting next to me on the right, and Delmar, the class sweetheart.*

**Aeon:** “Don’t even.”

**Jessica:** “Pfft. I wouldn’t, we all know he’s taken by Maria.”

*Maria is the class role-model. She’s Ms. Hombee’s daughter, and as of that gets special privileges, every girl in the world is jealous of her, but personally, she’s not too bad. Oh, and that’s Bri, she’s a passionate lead. Her power is that she can create anything with her spray cans, it’s so cool. Than it’s my sworn rival, Marcus, he thinks every girl likes him, and for one, who would like that hunk of gunk.*

**Marcus:** “Oh, Jessica..”

**Jessica:** “Don’t even..”

**Marcus:** “Oh don’t worry.. you know you cannot resist these.”

**Jessica:** “Resist what? Your clownery, no thanks.”

*The whole class laughs, and Marcus frowns.*

*The scene changes to a man in a lab. He proceeds to drop a droplet of purple ooze in a test tube. Then drops his gloves.*

**???:** “Finally, my scientific discovery at last. It’s time to show the world my true power. Draco, armor, unleash the Pharaoh.” *He transforms into this Dragon like a Pharoah being. He grabs one of his drones and injects it with the purple ooze.*

*The camera goes back to the class testing. I am trying to focus on my quiz.*

**Aeon:** “This test is so easy.”

**Jessica:** “Of course you would say that.”

**Aeon:** “Relax, if you can solve problems as.. you know.. than you can solve problems at this.”

**Jessica:** “The difference is your at your feet and your in the field.”

**Aeon:** “Oh please.”

**Ms. Gate:** “Girls silence.”

*Suddenly the bell rings.*

**Ms. Hombee:** “Alri-”

*Glass falls on Ms. Hombee’s desk.*

**???:** “Hello citizens of the bustling capital, today, I have Ms. Hombee, and you will listen to me. Robo-drones.”

*Ms. Hombee is in shock.*

**Ms. Hombee:** “Larry?”

**???**: “Silence, bow to thee Draconight.”

**Ms. Hombee:** “What the hell happen-”

**Draconight:** “Silence, we can speed this up this way, robo-drones fire the mist dome.”

**Ms. Hombee:** “Mist dome?” *she presses a button on the table* “Hurry up, United Hero-.”

**Draconight:** *slices the phone* “Nobody to save you now.”

**Ms. Hombee:** “Your forgetting I’m a superhero too. Victory Power.”

*It doesn’t work.*

**Ms. Hombee:** “Victory Power.”

*She throws her minimized shield away.*

**Draconight:** “Ha! It worked, I’m finally able to disarm everyone’s power.”

**Ms. Hombee:** “You did what..” *She backs up onto the wall and presses a secret button.*

*Back at the school, an eagle alarm sounds.*

**Aeon:** “It’s time fo-”

*Aeon collapses.*

**Jessica:** “AEON. Are you okay?” *I try to get Aeon up.* “CALL HELP! CALL HELP”

**Mr. Gate:** *opens a door, but it’s just the closet* “I forgot.” *runs to call the hospital*

**Jessica:** “Aeon. Ms. Hombee, they both need me.”

*The TV is still playing.*

**Draconight:** “Now, Robotube, spray her.”

**Ms. Hombee:** “Spr-” *Ms. Hombee has a Robodrone latch onto her black coat in the pocket.* “From now on, everyone’s identity will be the truth and all those who aren’t will become fraudulent, my name is Incognito.”

*Incognito busts through the roof, and throws her hat as a boomerang at others. The crowd is screaming. The scene changes back to the classroom.*

**Olympia:** *running into the room* “AEON! AEON” *She is weeping tears, then faces me.* “What happened..”

**Jessica:** “I-i-i-i don’t know. Some super villain appeared on the TV and then this happened.”

**Olympia:** “Is that why we don’t have our powers?”

**Barbara:** “Well, Olympia, I think so.”

**Olympia:** *She looks at the TV.* “Cam? What? How could she?”

**Jessica:** “I’m not too sure, but I think I have to go there.”

**Barbara:** “No way, it’s too dangerous.”

**Jessica:** “Mother, you told me that I was the last resort if everything else went wrong, look, does anyone else have the power to stop Ms. Hombee from doing this to everyone.”

**Barbara:** “But..”

**Jessica:** “Mom, there’s no butts this time.”

*I run into the bathroom.*

**Jessica:** “Liiri.”

**Liiri:** “Jessica Keynes.”

**Jessica:** “There’s a supervillian that’s in town and everyone’s counting on us to defeat him.”

**Liiri:** *slightly freaks* “Isn’t that rather a bit… imperative?”

**Jessica:** “Glad you understand. Have a grape, and let’s get this show on the road.”

**Liiri:** *eats a grape*

**Jessica:** “Time to prove Mother wrong. Liiri, Wings of Liberty.”

*Liiri transforms her into an eagle. She jumps out the toilet window and uses her bullroarer to navigate to the attack.*

**Eagle:** “All by myself on this one, nobody to help me.” *She swings her bullroarer at the next skyscraper and back to finally get to where Incognito is.*

*Incognito is throwing her hat at people who’ve committed fraud in the country.*

**Eagle:** “Hey, Ms. Hombee, what’s gotten into you.”

**Incognito:** *throws her hat at Eagle* “The name is Incognito, and I can sense, there’s a lot of secrets, you have.”

**Eagle:** *swings the Bullroarer to deflect* “Not today.”

**Incognito:** *dashs at Eagle* “You’ll stop what your doing.”

*From his lair..*

**Draconight:** “I was not made aware of this person's contender possibilities, I heard about an Eagle lady wearing a pendant, AH, the pendant. Robo-drone, tell Incognito to fetch the pendant.”

*Back to the action…*

**Incognito:** *kicks and attacks me*

**Eagle:** *jumps and deflects with my bullroarer*

**Incognito:** *kicks down Eagle* “That was easy, now time to see your identity.”

**Robo-Drone:** “Draconight demands the pendant.”

**Incognito:** “Fine by me.” *grabs the pendant*

*Suddenly, an orb of light is blasted near Incognito leaving a hole in her coat. “Now, use the Mind power” a voice says.*

**Incognito:** *jumps on her hat and flies to the Empire Stare Building*

**Eagle:** *swinging with a bull roarer* “That’s not good.”

**Incognito:** “Behold New Yorkers, as I..” *grows the hat to match the size of the NYC building*

**Eagle:** “Oh no that thing isn’t gonna to be good.”

*A person from the ground in a disguise says use “Freedom’s Path”*

**Eagle:** “Uhhh, I have so m-“ *The hat gets bigger.* “I guess there’s no backing down, Freedom’s Path.” *The bullroarer starts flying to the building.* “This is INSANEEEE.” *The bullroarer makes a pitstop for a bottle of glue.* “Glue? Aha! Get close and glue the hat.”

*The bullroarer gets close and Eagle is able to glue the hat.*

**Incognito:** “You're not getting my power? Hat!” *The hat gets glued to there hand.*

**Eagle:** “Time for the Mind Liberator.” *Eagle taps her forehead and shoots a beam at Incognito.*

*This releases Incognito from Draconight’s spell, but leaves Ms. Hombee unconscious from it.*

**Eagle:** “Thanks, mysterious person.”

*Barbara comes running out of a taxi to here.*

**Barbara:** “Oh thank goodness, your okay.”

**Eagle:** “Mo-” *coughs* “Ma’am, can you get Ms. Hombee back to her place.”

**Barbara:** “Oh right.” *She smiles.* “Yes, I will.”

**Eagle:** *She swings out with her bullroarer, gazing at the Statue of Liberty, while her hair is blown by the wind.* “The journey is gonna be tough, Liiri, but I won’t give up.” *uses there bullroarer to hide in an alley* “Liiri, wings rest.”

**Liiri:** *drops on Jessica’s hands*

**Jessica:** “Eat this..”

**Liiri:** “Good job, Jessica Keynes, but shouldn’t you be worrying about your friend Aeon.”

**Jessica:** “Oh no, Aeon, Liiri, get in my backpack, let’s go.”

Liiri *jumps in Jessica’s pouch, and Jessica starts running to the hospital. By the time, she gets to the hospital entrance, Olympia is seen crying and in an argument with Barbara. Jessica breaths for a second.*

**Jessica:** “Hey, Olympia and mom.”

**Barbara:** “Um.. darling, Aeon isn’t-”

*My heart stopped, my mother hadn’t dare finish her sentence, but she knew I already knew.*

**Jessica:** “S-s-s-he cannot be. There has to be another way.”

**Barbara:** “We brought her to every techospitial in the world and none of them worked.”

*Monk A calls.*

**Barbara:** “Go ahead answer, I’ll… ugh.. take Olympia home.”

*Jessica answers.*

**Monk A:** “I heard the news… you fought with great bravery.”

**Jessica:** “Ughh thank-“

**Monk A:** “What’s bothering you?”

**Jessica:** “Oh it’s n-“

**Monk A:** “A monk always knows…”

**Jessica:** “Seriously, it’s nothing, right now, we got that dragon freak to take care of, oh and thanks for the help.”

**Monk A:** “What do you mean? I was residing at my house.”

**Jessica:** “So who was telling me how to defeat the villain?”

**Monk A:** “It cannot be. No, they haven’t.”

**Jessica:** “What?”

*The phone drops and all they hear is a bunch of shuffling. Jessica runs into an alleyway.*

**Jessica:** “Liiri, Monk Abooksigun is in trouble.”

**Liiri:** “Oh no, it cannot be, the others.”

**Jessica:** “The other miraculouses are in trouble, eat fast.”

**Liiri:** *eating as fast as he can*

**Jessica:** “Liiri, Wings of Liberty.”

*The scene switches to Draconight.*

**Draconight:** “Now that the city cannot trust Ms. Hombee, I think it’s time for Plan B.” *evil laughs*
