When Marinette finally calmed her tears, she looked at Tikki. She wanted to be angry at her kwami, she wanted to be angry but she couldn't. She also thought that if her kwami had kept the secrets from her all this time there had to be a reason to why."Tikki?" Marinette began to ask, her voice almost a whisper. "Y-yes Marinette?" Tikki ask nervously preparing herself for Marinette's punishment. "Why didn't you tell me that Adrien, the love and crush of my life, was none other than Chat Noir, my partner that I fight crime with?"
"I'm sorry Marinette," Tikki said, "but me, Plagg and all the other kwamis took an oath. We aren't allowed to tell the miraculous holder who the other people of the miraculous are, unless they in need of dire help. This is so we can protect the miraculous holder's identity. Also a miraculous holder can find out who the other is but we can't help them figure it out. But Marinette, Adrien needs your help. Due to absorbing the all those Akumas his personality has changed and has become darker."
"So you are telling me, that you can only allowed to tell a miraculous holder who the other is when the other or other's are in trouble?" Tikki nodded her tiny, little head. "Then Adrien's in trouble," Marinette said, "how do I purify all the Akumas that he has absorbed Tikki? I can't just squish him into my compact and hope that he comes out in one piece and that everything goes back to normal."
"Marinette calm down," Tikki said trying to give confidence to Marinette, "I don't know how you are going to purify the Akumas that Adrien has absorbed, but I think I might know who can help you out."
"Who Tikki?" Marinette says, "who can help me get out of this mess?"
"The great guardian," Tikki replies, "he is the same man who gave you your miraculous."
"Uh? Wait no one gave me my miraculous, I my miraculous on my table one day."
"Alright," Tikki said, "did you help an old man earlier that day?"
"As a matter of fact I did, if I remember correctly, it was the same day I meet Alya." Marinette said as she remembered the first time ever meet her best friend. "Well that old man that you out is the guardian of all the miraculous's, he is also the healer that helped me when I was sick, do you remember that time Marinette?" Marinette went quiet when she remembered the time she had let her kwami fall terribly ill. "Yeah," she said sadly, ''I remember."
"Oh Marinette don't blame yourself for that time, you didn't know how ill I was at the time, and besides I'm all better now aren't I." Tikki said. "Yeah I guess your right, thank you for making me feel better, Tikki." Marinette said hugging her little her face.
"Any time Marinette, but I think it's time we head to the great guardian." Tikki said, "but Tikki did you forget that it's almost midnight, do you really think that my parents will let me go to an old mans home in the middle of the night?"
"No," Tikki said, "I don't think they would let you out as Marinette, but I don't they'd question you as ladybug."
"Good thinking Tikki and I can return to normal when I get there." Marinette said changing out of her PJ's into her causal clothes.
"Well let's go, just say the words."
"Okay, Tikki spots on."
