Hi everyone! Yes this is an adopted story from KrystalDawner. I'm sorry that it has taken me this long to finally get it posted, but here it is. :) I hope you enjoy. I do not own any Miraculous Ladybug characters or Pulse. This chapter belongs to KrystalDawner.


It had started out as every other day. Marinette was secretly pining for Adrien, and Adrien, as Chat Noir, had been not-so-secretly pining for Ladybug, who was actually Marinette. But then, at school, Alya had gotten Marinette to ask Adrien out. And he had said no.

"I'm sorry, Marinette. But, I like someone else." He had said. It broke her. She skipped the rest of school. She didn't go to school the next day. It was on the third day of her absence that Hawkmoth offered it to her.

"You want revenge; I can give it to you. All I ask for in return, is Chat Noir and Ladybug's miraculous."

She snapped then. The purple butterfly around her eyes glowed. "I can already give you Ladybug's. Chat, on the other hand, could be harder."

Marinette felt a faint feeling of cold rush over her skin. Her eyes changed from her own sky blue to purple battling the butterfly outline. She had no mask, and she wore a flitting red dress, with black hearts dotting it, looking much like the ladybug pattern she usually had. Small, black boots on her feet, and gloves up to her elbow that matched. Her black earrings no longer gave her the ability to transform into Ladybug, the superhero, with the help of Tikki. They now gave her the ability to transform into Heartbreaker, the villain, with the help of Pulse, Tikki's very own evil alter ego.

She brushed her hand against her earring, and felt herself change into Marinette, but with a different outfit. A bright, blood red tank top, with a black leather jacket over top, and black leggings with red shorts over them. She wore combat boots, and gloves with the fingers cut off. Her hair, like it was as Heartbreaker, was longer, and in a side braid, with a red streak through it. She felt the butterfly outline around her eyes reappear, and Hawkmoth's voice filled her head.

"Heartbreaker, find Chat Noir, and take his miraculous. I have given you the power over every boy's heart, except his. You can steal the affections of any boy, and break their hearts just like yours was. You don't even need to hide your Kwami, like you did as Ladybug, because almost all of my power is with you, as well as Ladybug's power. No one will be able to stop you."

"I know, Hawkmoth. I've got it." Marinette, now Marin, murmured, as she looked into the mirror, staring at her bright purple eyes. "I'll find him." Hawkmoth left her alone, and she lay in her bed, preparing for sleep, when Pulse spoke up. She had Tikki's voice, but with a cold edge to it.

"I have a human form, you know. I could go to school with you." Pulse, like Marin, had cold, calculating, and glowing purple eyes, and like Tikki, she was red, but had three black hearts on her face. One on her forehead, and one each for her cheeks. Marin saw a faint purple glow appear around Pulse, and a girl, who looked much like Marin, appeared.

Her hair, unlike Marin's, was cropped short, in a pixie cut, and her outfit was colored opposite of Marin's. Everything red on Marin, was black on Pulse, and anything black on Marin, was red on Pulse. Her eyes were purple, and had changed to black for a moment. "Your parents now believe that you had a twin, and I had gone to live with other relatives for a while. They're going to go to town tomorrow and buy me a bed." She approached the small couch in Marin's room, and lay on it. Both girls fell asleep, and in their dreamless slumber, a concerned Chat Noir awaited his Lady, who would never come.
