Oh, Hey

Nathaniel took his notebook, he begged his Kwami to tell him more about his predecessors. “Please, Orikko?!” He pleaded. “Alright, alright. Don’t get your feathers in a bunch, Chicklet. Well, first there was Gōngjī, the very first rooster. He was part of the ancient Chinese Team. They served as the personal guard to the imperial family.” Orikko started, smiling when he saw Nathaniel was taking notes. “Like the scecret service the American President has?” Nathaniel asked. “In a sense. Then after Gōngjī, there was Artemis and Apollo.” Orikko continued. “Wait, as in the Greek Gods?! They were real too?!” Nathaniel asked in shock. “Of course, Chicklet. They were members of the Holy Phalanx, the Greek Miraculous Team, led by Queen Hippolyta herself. They were fine Roosters, even is they did squabble over the Miraculous at times.” Orikko continued. “Was she the Ladybug?” Nathaniel asked. “Yes, she was. And a good one too, until the Peloponnesian Wars.” Orikko explained. “Oh, I learned about that in school! The city states went to war and Greece crumbled, right?” Nathaniel recalled. “Not just that. The city states were just pawns. The real war was that of the Holy Phalanx. The team was divided in two, kin fighting against kin. It was a brutal fight.” Orikko answered. “What happened to Artemis and Apollo?” Nathaniel asked. Orikko fell silent, and Nathaniel wondered if he had overstepped. “At one point during the battle, Apollo had the Miraculous, but Artemis didn’t. Hippolyta had him in her sights, seconds away from killing him. Bit Artemis saw this and....she pushed him out of the way, taking the blow for him. .....She died instantly.” Orikko answered sadly. Nathaniel rubbed Orikko’s head in an attempt to comfort him. “A-and next was Lancelot, right?” He asked hesitantly. “Yes. Lancelot was a bit too prideful for my taste at times, but a fine Rooster. Never failing to risk his life for king and country. Next was Ondori, a kunoichi under Chiyome Mochizuki.” Orikko continued. “Hmmm, I don’t know that name.” Nathaniel contemplated, and Orikko couldn’t help but chuckle. “There are few who do. Chiyome ran a spy ring for her Uncle in law. Hundreds of women and girls throughout Japan were sheltered and trained by her. The best of the best, the Kiseki no Kunoichi, held the Miraculouses. They were orphaned girls she took in from a young age and raised as her daughters. Ondori was one of these girls.” Orkko informed, “And then, I went to Dr. James McHenry. A shy soul, but always willing to help others.” “Was he the last one you had?” Nathaniel asked. “No...the last Chicklet I had before you was part of the Miraculous Musketeers. A young woman named Dawn Kurtzberg; she called herself Poulet Rouge.” Orikko answered. Nathaniel froze in shock. “Wait, KURTZBERG?!” He asked incredulously.
