I do not own Miraculous Ladybug.
The tale of the miracle stone holders has been told for centuries.
Millennia ago, the Miracle stones were created as a force for good, to be wielded by those chosen by the stones themselves. Eight stones, Eight wielders.
However, with light comes shadow. Eight beings of darkness began to strike at the holders. The battles raged for over a year before they were defeated, sealed away by the stone holders.
Their victory however, came with a cost. The seal required power to work, magical power, and so the eighth wielder gave up their Miracle Stone to act as the power holding the seal together. Shortly after the battle the eight holders mostly vanished. The other seven were only seen for small amounts of time after that day, as if to remind people that they were still there.
The stones always seemed to find new holders over the years, and yet, quite often they seemed to have no troubles with their abilities at all. Some people believe that the holders may be tied to the stones. The wielders souls following their stones, wherever they may be.
It was an ordinary morning for Marinette Dupain-Cheng, she woke up and got ready for school, in fact, the whole day was normal, save for helping an old man cross the street. She dealt with Chloe and Sabrina during school, and she made a new friend!
It was weird how easily her and Alya seemed to click but she wasn't going to question it.
The days normality disappeared when she saw the eastern styled box on her desk. The box that she had never seen before yet somehow recognized!
As she moved to open the box, images started to filter through her mind.
A boy, blonde hair, green eyes, the destruction, Yin, to her creation, Yang.
Another male, black hair, their defender guarding them with his shell.
A woman, long brown hair, a sister, the peacock.
Two more females, blonde and black haired, blue and red eyes, the creator and the changer.
Yet another female, she feels different from the others, closer, brown hair with bands, the illusionist, the trickster.
The last one, the lost one, the blonde boy's mate, blue eyes, hair of a strange shade.
And when she opened the box, the memories all settled as a light shone and coalesced into a small being with familiar blue eyes. Before the small creature could react she was pulled into the closest approximation of a hug that could be accomplished with her small size. She took a moment to realise where she was before returning the hug.
"It's so good to see you again Tikki!" Marinette exclaimed as she let the small being out of the hug.
The kwami smiled at her eternal holder. "It's good to see you too! So, what is your name this time around?" Tikki asked, "And how long has it been since the last time?"
"My name is Marinette this time, and from what I can tell it has probably been about two lifetimes." Marinette responded to her kwami. After a few minutes of conversation between the two Marinette asked, "Why are the miraculous being distributed again?"
"From what the current guardian left us, someone is misusing Nooro's power."
At hearing this, Marinette's eyes darkened and anger seemed to seep out of every part of her body, enough anger to make Tikki actually back away from her holder.
After a moment Marinette forced herself to calm down, she looked at the newsfeed on Stoneheart before she reacted any further.
"Let's get going Tikki," she said, "We have someone to save, and a city to protect."
Tikki smiled as Marinette put the miraculous on, because even after all these centuries she was still the same person she had bonded with. A command and a magical burst later, and Ladybug was jumping out the window to head towards where Stoneheart was last seen.
Chat Noir was not having a good day. The badness started when he failed at getting into the school, not that he regretted the decision to help the old man even if he now knew who he was, but he had failed in his attempt to get some amount of freedom from his overprotective, and somewhat dictatorial, father. His day had briefly brightened with the return of his memories, miraculous, and Plagg, but that faded rapidly when he realised what the issue was.
'Goddamn that bastard for using Nooroo like that!'
Chat was abruptly snapped out of his seething by a red and black blur that fell from the sky.
Right on top of him.
Upon impact with the ground he realised exactly what had landed on him. "It's been a while since you've done anything like this Ladybug, should I be worried?"
His partner smacked him upside the head for the comment. "Shut up Cat," she said as she got off him, "Just because I remember how to do these things doesn't mean my body is currently capable of doing them."
Chat snickered at his friend before their attention was grabbed by a collapsing building. The two Miraculous holders quickly took off towards where the building was, hoping to catch up to Stoneheart.
Stoneheart had not been an easy fight, especially since their bodies weren't exactly accustomed to fighting. Marinette was just glad that she had been able to figure out what the wetsuit was useful for, even if she did have to ask Alya for help. Purifying the akuma wasn't hard at all though.
Marinette and Chat Noir, as he decided to call himself, had introduced themselves to each other and Marinette had been surprised to see the son of Gabriel Agreste as her partners latest reincarnation.
The young reincarnated woman sat at her desk keeping an eye on the news as she worked on her homework. She knew that the other holder would be doing something soon, the Miraculous' all had around the same amount of individual power. However, they powered each other, the more that were active, the more power they could each call on. If she were to make a guess, the other holder will most likely store power for a few days so that they could make some form of demand, possibly after another attack.
Her prediction was correct, several days later there was another attack. The akuma was capable of corrupting other people into copies of itself, though they didn't have nearly as much strength as the actual akuma. After the akuma had destroyed a large part of Paris, the holder used the akuma to show himself.
Hawkmoth, as he called himself, demanded the cat and ladybug miraculous' and threatened more akuma if they didn't comply. Ladybug quickly turned his statement around on the villain, angering him, and commanding his akuma to attack. The fight itself ended shortly after. Ladybug looked towards the remaining akuma butterflies as the man spoke again.
"It seems I will have to go with quality over quantity if I wish to defeat you, Ladybug." The villain looked out over the city as Ladybug pulled herself towards the butterflies, "I will continue to send my Akuma after the miraculous until I have them in my possession, do not think for even a moment that you have seen the last of me, Paris!"
The image disappeared as Ladybug collected and purified the akuma. As she released the purified butterflies, she stood on the tower and spoke to the city herself, as Chat came and landed next to her.
"I do not know when, where, or how we will find Hawkmoth, but we will. His reign of terror will end, and we will bring him to justice." She told the city, "But until that day comes, we will protect this city!"
She grabbed the item formed by her lucky charm, a set of handcuffs, threw it into the air and cried "Miraculous Ladybug!" using her power to repair the damaged parts of the city. Several minutes later, no one noticed one Marinette Dupain-Cheng walking away from the Eiffel tower with a satisfied smile on her face.
I know that Ivan was Akumatised twice, but I believe that was only possible because his akuma was never purified, and this version of Marinette wouldn't have let the akuma get away.
I will be accelerating certain events for this story, and skipping over others. Future Akuma battles will be in more detail, but I wanted to get past this part first. If anyone wants to make guesses as to the identity of the last holder be my guest, I want to see who you think the other holders are. I will say two things now, Alya is not the fox holder, and this story will not be adrienette. I have nothing against the pairing, I just rarely see stories with those two in other pairings so I wanted to make one.
Fun fact, I initially had the seal held together by a portion of Ladybugs power, who was initially going to be more powerful, but I changed it because it was a stupid idea. so the eighth miraculous was born. which conveniently gave me an even four pairings.
Next chapter will reveal the other reincarnated holders, save one who is not in their class yet, and it will delve deeper into the functionality of their reincarnation.
