Ladybug ran as fast as her legs could carry her. How could she let this happen? How could she be so stupid? During today's akuma fight Hawkmoth had kidnapped Cat Noir. She hoped and prayed to God that he was alright. If Hawkmoth had hurt Cat Noir in anyway she would never forgive him in fact she would probably kill him. As she searched she began to fear she would never find him but then to her relief she saw a cat like figure standing somewhere.
"Cat Noir?" She asked. She swung toward the figure that stood in the darkness. "Oh kitty! Thank goodness! I'm so glad you're okay-"
"Get away from me!" He growled.
"Cat Noir what's wrong?"
He walked out from the shadows to reveal a young man clad in white with red eyes glowing blood red. Marinette felt her heart pound with fear and sweat drip down her side.
"Cat Noir are you-"
"It's Cat Blanc now Ladybug! And I demand that you give me your miraculous!"
"Oh my God! You've been akumatized!"
"Correct!"
Marinette noticed his face had a few bruises on his face.
"What did Hawkmoth do to you?"
"Father! Only helped me realize the truth!"
"F-f-father?" She stuttered in shocked disbelief.
"He showed me that you're not my friend! You're just getting in the way of what I really want!"
"And what is it you want?"
"To bring back my mother so I can win my father's love and finally have a family."
"Kitty if that's what you want this isn't the way! Let me help you-"
But she was cut off by him lunging for her ears. She quickly shoved him off her and began to search him for an akumatized object but she couldn't find anything however when she put her hand on his chest she felt no pulse. Was is it her imagination or had his heart stopped beating? She had no time to figure that out because his claws kept swiping at her. She dodged them best she could but he managed to cut one lock of her hair.
"Marinette you must escape! An akumatized miraculous user is more dangerous than you can ever! Run!" Tikki said in her mind.
Marinette did as she was warned and swung away. Cat Blanc chased after her but she managed to lose him.
"You fool!" Hawkmoth shouted into his mind. "How could you let her escap?!"
"I'm sorry Father." He sighed.
"Sorry?! You haven't begun to be sorry yet boy! Just wait til you get back here! Then you'll be really sorry!"
Adrien felt fear within himself as he knew what was coming. As for Ladybug Tikki had told her to go straight to Master Fu's place. She destransformed, politely knocked on the door, and he answered it.
"Marinette good to see you my dear." He said. "Is everything alright?"
Before she could even answer Tikki spoke up first.
"We have a major emergency!" She cried. "Cat Noir has been akumatized!"
"Oh dear! Come inside, quickly now. You never know who could be listening."
He led her inside, locked all the doors, and covered the windows.
"Now tell what happened?"
Marinette told him the whole story from Cat Noir getting kidnapped to him becoming Cat Blanc and the shocking revelation about his father and his wish.
"Oh dear God above. I always lived in fear of this day." Fu said. "I always feared that Haekmoth might do this."
"You speak like you know him." Marinette said.
"That's because I do and it's partially my fault he's the way he is."
"What do you mean?"
"Years ago. Long before you and Cat Noir were born, I chose two other teenagers to defend Paris. One was a cheerful and artistic young girl and the other was a serious and reserved young man. I gave them the peacock and moth miraculous. Together they defended Paris and there relationship was kind of ironic."
"How?"
"Well you see the girl was in love with the boy but he didn't really lie her that much but he loved her peacock alter ego while she didn't really like his moth alter ego. Isn't that funny?"
"Uh...very." She said nervously.
"But as time went by those two began to develop real, genuine, love for both sides of each other. When they revealed themselves which I was against at the time their love only grew stronger which led to marriage and the birth of their son."
"Cat Noir?" She guessed.
"Yes. Now that they were married and had a family they wanted to give up the job and they did for a couple of years. Then one day in unnatural force had formed in Tibet. I sent them message asking for help and they accepted. They defeated it of course but Tibet is filled with fatal illnesses and she contracted one. There was nothing the doctors could do for her. Hawkmoth refused to accept that and when he heard about the ultimate power that's when he turned to darkness."
"What happened to her? Is she still alive?"
"I don't know. I saw him come back one night carrying her body and that was the last time."
"So she's dead?"
"No idea."
"Well I have to stop him."
Suddenly there was a loud crash and the building was beginning to collapse. Marinette ducked under a table so the rubble didn't hit her, she closed her eyes and covered her head hoping that Fu and Tikki were alright. When everything stopped falling she heard the sinister voice of Hawkmoth.
"Master Fu." He said. "How are you?"
She looked up and watched in horror as Hawkmoth cruelly stepped on the fatally injured old man.
"Give me the other miraculouses." He demanded.
"Never." He said weakly.
"Foolish old man! Tell me or I'll break your bones!"
"Wait! They're...They're...in the museum in the hieroglyphics."
"Good old man. Come along son."
Hawkmoth and Cat Blanc walked away none of them showing any remorse for the cruel display they've done but Cat Blanc did manage to give him one last glance of pity. On his face she saw a large bleeding cut across his face.
"Son! Now!"
"Coming Father."
Once they were gone Marinette rushed to Fu's side.
"I'll get help!"
"No..." He coughed. "I'll be fine. But you...you're going to need help this time...and lots of it...check that box over there."
She approached it and when she touched it, it opened to reveal the fox and bee miraculouses. He then took off his bracelet.
"Here. Take them...Find suitable heroes...hurry."
"But what about you?"
"I'm old and weak...I've lived a long life but I'm not going to die just yet...Now go...hurry before Hawkmoth finds out I lied."
"But how will I know if they're suitable?"
"I trust you Marinette. Now get going before it's too late."
"Come on Marinette!" Tikki said. "We haven't got much time."
She reluctantly left him but not before calling an ambulance and giving them directions to where he lived. Now all she could do was hope that she would make the right choices.
...
"That old man! Lied to me!" Hawkmoth shouted. He ordered Adrien to cataclysm almost everything in the museum except the hieroglyphics which he stole and took back to his lair to examine. When he found there was nothing there he exploded in rage. He ordered that he be left alone in his special room to take out his anger.
"Father?"
"Get out! Now!"
He smacked him and sent him away. The akuma did as he was told while showing no response not even shedding a tear. It was almost like he had become completely emotionless.
