Prologue

War raged across Cybertron and tore the planet apart, the Autobots fighting valiantly to save their planet alas it was all in vain. Even their human friend, Marinette Dupain - Chang, blessed with the powers of the ladybug miraculous was unable providing much aid. Especially when the Decepticons had the black cat, miraculous, Chat noir, on their side. Ladybug had never met him and was unsure about his identity.

Mari had heard rumours about other organic on Cybertron, but had never seen him. She grew up with Orion Pax in the Iacon of records and helped him retrieve the matrix of leadership. She watched in secret while Orion talked to Megatronious. Mari had only one friend besides Orion, who was also her mentor and family, and that was her kwami Tikki. She allowed Mari to transform into a ladybug.
However, Mari couldn't hide in the Iacon hall of records forever, she yearned to see humans. To see others like her. To meet other cybertronions and explore the planet in person. Soon her wish was granted.

The Decpticons soon attacked and Mari was forced to use her powers to defend her home. Still, she wanted to see another human. She had heard of the mysterious Chat Noir, but never seen him. She had gotten messages from him, but never seen him. What was he like? Was he like her? Did he know anything about her? Why did he leave notes and messages for her. She wanted to know.

Mari was one of the greatest warriors of the Autobot forces, despite her smaller footprint. She left a mark. She would sneak with the boats on large missions and be a great asset, but until she got a partner she would have to sneak with them to participate. Optomas was protective of his human friend and wanted to protect her therefore, Mari kept her messages from the black cat Secret. But not for long. She one day got a note from the criminal himself.

Dear princess,

Hmmm you like the pet name? I made it for you. I know you but you don't know me. Hmmm let's get to know each other better. It's not a trap I swear. Cat's honour ;) So please, indulge me. I want to tell you something, and if I had wanted to kill you, I would have done it ages ago. So please, come.

Sighed, Chat Noir.

Would she? Would she dare to meet the heinous criminal himself. Yes. Yes she would.
