Happy New Year!

Chat Noir's POV

Everything was going well. No one had been hurt, and Ladybug was keeping Razor busy so that he wouldn't notice us. But suddenly, everything went wrong.

Somehow, Razor noticed the group sneaking off to the exit and attacked. It was only one spear, everyone should have been able to get out safely. I was wrong.

Almost everyone was able to get away unscathed, but Felix had no time to dodge the attack. I couldn't let my brother get hurt. Not because I didn't do anything.

Before I knew what was happening, my body was surging forward towards my twin. I pushed him out of the way of the spike and away from harm.

I can't say the same for me.

I felt a searing pain in my chest, and it was suddenly difficult to breathe. I think I heard Ladybug scream, but I can't be sure. Everything was becoming foggy.

No longer able to hold myself up, I collapsed. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, preventing me front hitting the ground.

I look up and see all of my friends surrounding me, Ladybug running towards me. I see the akuma smile and leave. I want to warn Ladybug, but I can't speak anymore.

Everything goes dark.

No One's POV

Nobody moved as they stared at Chat Noir. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Felix was the first to snap out of it when Chat started to fall. He quickly stood up and caught him, slowly bringing him to lay down on the ground.

He rested Chat's head on his lap, refusing to let his brother go.

Everyone started to circle around, trying to see if Chat was alright. Felix was starting to feel claustrophobic, but didn't say anything. He looked up briefly when Ladybug crouched down next to him, but looked directly back at his brother.

When he saw that Chat's eyes were closed, he started to panic.

"H-hey. Don't go to sleep. Open your eyes."

He started tapping Chat's face, trying to get him to open his eyes.

Chat slowly and painfully opened his eyes. He looked around, but it looked as if he wasn't really processing what was around him.

Ladybug grabbed Chat's hand and held it to her chest.

"Please Chat, stay with us. We'll get you to the hospital and you'll be alright, okay?" Ladybug begged, tears falling down her cheeks.

The rest of the group had backed up a step, feeling awkward, but not wanting to leave their hero. They all had tears in their eyes. They felt as if they were losing a friend.

Chat's eyes finally cleared slightly, and he looked at everyone individually. When he finally reached Ladybug and Felix, he gave a small, painful smile at the two of them and slightly squeezed Ladybug's hand. Ladybug smiled at the action, but it quickly slipped away when she felt Chat's grip weaken.

Chat struggled to take a breath, but when he finally did he looked at everyone one more time.

"I-I'm s… sor-ry." Chat said with the little breath he had left.

Hearing his weak voice, tears started to fall down the teens' faces, knowing that he wasn't going to make it.

Chat smiled one more time before his hand fell out of Ladybug's grasp and all life left his eyes.

Even though they knew it was going to happen, some of the teens couldn't help but cry.

What no one expected was for Felix to start screaming.

"NO! I REFUSE TO LET YOU DIE, YOU HEAR ME!? I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE YOU!" Felix cried, bringing Chat's body close and hugging him.

The students were startled by Felix's reaction. Then they saw a green light come from Chat's body, moving from his feet up.

They shielded their eyes, and when the light was gone, they saw a small, floating black cat with green eyes. He was crying, looking at Chat's body. However, they didn't pay much attention to it.

"No way…"

When they looked back at Chat's body, they no longer saw Chat Noir, Paris' dead hero, but they saw their classmate and friend, Adrien Agreste.

Those that weren't crying were now. The ones that were crying earlier had to be comforted by their classmates.

Nino walked forward and fell on his knees next to Adrien's body.

"Adrien?"

Nino reached his hand forward and grabbed Adrien's hand.

It was cold.

Nino started to cry harder.

"This can't be happening. You can't be d… you can't be gone. I can't believe my best friend's gone."

No one really paid attention when Ladybug's earrings started to beep, except for Alya.

"Wait. If Adrien is… was Chat Noir, does that mean you're…" Alya said, turning to Ladybug. Everyone chose to ignore Alya's use of the past tense.

Turning to Ladybug, who was still kneeling by Adrien's body, everyone saw a red light come from Ladybug. When the light faded, the students gasped.

Not only was there a creature that looked like a giant ladybug, but in Ladybug's place was Marinette.

The ladybug creature flew to the sobbing cat creature that had landed itself on Felix's knees, next to Adrien's head. A teardrop landed next to the creature's paw, which was on Adrien's cheek.

Everyone was surprised to see Felix crying, but thought differently when they remembered that he had just lost his twin brother, the most important person in the world for him.

"There has to be something we can do." Felix said, looking up at Marinette with pleading eyes.

Marinette just looked sadly at him.

Felix's face fell, even more tears flowed from his eyes as he looked back at his brother's still face.

"Maybe…" Marinette mumbled.

Everyone looked at her as she turned to the ladybug creature.

"Tikki. Can't I use Miraculous Super Cure to help Adrien?"

Tikki shook her head.

"Even though the Miraculous Super Cure helps heal major injuries, you know that it rarely works on other miraculous holders. Besides, it can't bring back the dead."

Everyone felt the last of their hope fade away.

Was there really nothing they could do?

Marinette felt useless. She had the power of the Ladybug Miraculous, the power of creation, and the ability to help people, but she wasn't able to help the one she loved.

"There is one thing that can be done."

Everyone looked up sharply at the cat creature's words.

"However, there's a big risk involved."

"Plagg, you can't really be thinking about trying that, can you?" Tikki said, looking shocked and horrified at Plagg.

"It's the only thing that can bring him back. I don't want to lose another kitten!" Plagg screamed.

The group looked sadly at Plagg.

"What's the risk?"

The teens and two kwamies turned to Marinette, who had a determined look on her face.

Tikki and Plagg looked at each other. Tikki sighed before nodding at Plagg, giving him permission to tell her.

"There's a special magic that can be used to bring Adrien back. However, it requires someone to transfer their life force to him. The risk is that in exchange for bringing him back, you could lose your own life."

I actually wanted to end this somewhere else, but this happened.
