The Miraculous characters were originally created by Thomas Astruc. The only characters in this story I created are my four OC's.
Author's Note. I recently discovered Miraculous The Tales Of Ladybug and Cat Noir last month and after watching all of season 1 really wanted to contribute to the fandom so here is my first Miraculous fanfic. This is a little different, alright a lot different from the fandom I usually write for,but this was so fun I am planning on doing more stories with Ladybug and Cat Noir in the future.
I am collaborating with PierceTheVeils and her awesome team of co writers to write Ace Attorney Investigations Miles Edgeworth End Of Era. You can find that story on PierceTheVeils page.
Now Let The Story Commence!
StrikeOut
"Thank you students for your patience and attention to class today. I know you all must be excited for the championship baseball game tonight, so class is now dismissed." Teacher Bustier, announced to the excited class of students, who quickly picked up all of their school books and supplies to get ready for the big championship game that was going to be taking place on the school's ball field.
"This is so awesome Plagg! I still can't believe our school baseball team is going to be playing in the championship gametonight." Adrian Agreste said to his Kwami, while walking over to the ballfield. The Kwami yawned, showing he was obviously not quite as excited for the game as the teenager was.
"The game doesn't start for two hours, why are we going to the ball field now, when it's not even dinner time yet?" The Kwami asked, not wanting to miss dinner due to being at the ball game that to him would seem to last all night.
"So we can get the photo shoot that my father arranged with the baseball team done, find a good seat in the bleachers and eat some traditional ballpark food before the game starts."
"Photo shoots are sooooo borrring. Plagg complained, dragging out the words to love his point, causing Adrian to sigh. It wasn't his fault that his father arranged a photo shoot with the baseball team before game time. The teenager was hoping to hang out with his friends before the game instead of being stuck in a photoshoot, but this time however Adrian could not deny the fact that he was actually looking forward to these pictures taken.
"Father actually arranged a photoshoot that will be fun, for once, it shouldn't take to long, considering all of the pictures will be taken on the ball field."
"Fine, after the photoshoot can we try some of the food, especially the food that has cheese in it?" Plagg asked, as the two were nearing the baseball field.
"Yes Plagg. I had planned to get a cheeseburger before the game started anyway. I will let you try some as long as no one is around me, since you can't be seen." Adrian replied to the Kwami, observing all of the camera's that were set up literally all across the field.
Did Father get enough camera's? These things are set up everywhere. Unless some of them are here to take pictures during the game.
"Does the cheeseburger contain Camembert?" Plagg had an unbelievable appetite for Camembert cheese but at the moment Adrian didn't want to disappoint the Kwami by telling him he would be very surprised if the cheese in any of the burgers was Camembert.
"Plagg, someone's coming, we can talk more about the food later." Adrian told his Kwami seeing the two men that were walking towards he and Plagg's direction from across the field.
"Fine, just remember Adrian, you promised me a bite of that cheeseburger." The Kwami said, before going back to his hiding place under Adrian's jacket.
"Adrian, I hope you are ready to cheer the Knights on tonight!" The man whom Adrian recognized as Justin Homer the coach for the Knights happily exclaimed, putting his hand to hit a high five with the teenager, who couldn't help but smile over the coaches excitement.
"I am ready to cheer them on and watch them win!" Adrian clapped his hands together also joining in on the coaches excitement, letting his excitement show until the cameraman for the photo shoot was ready to start taking the photos. Once he arrived everything would have to go from fun to professional until the game started at least. Coach Homer's excitement for the Knights is contagious. You just can't help but get excited when you listen to him talk about them
"Time to get this photo shoot started. We are going to start shooting the photo's with you and the Knights standing in the outfield." The cameraman instructed, when he approached the teenager and the coach, who were both needed for the photo shoot.
1 Hour Later
Once all of the camera's were picked up, the high school baseball field was now busy with excitement. All of the students, their parents and a lot of the townspeople were all gathered together to cheer on the their family member's and friends.
Plagg's not going to be happy but I don't think I'm going to be able to feed him a piece of that cheeseburger after all. Not with all of these people here. Adrian thought, a little disappointed over the fact that he might have to let the Kwami down, as he stepped up to the concession stand to order.
"Hi Marinette, not only did we both happen to meet here, we also ordered the same food. That's pretty cool." Adrian looked towards the girl, who smiled at him, but just stood there in silence, not sure what to say over the fact that she had ordered the same food as her crush.
"H-Hi Adrian… How funny is that? The fact that we ordered the same food.. That is cool." Marinette stumbled on her words, while she and Adrian both reached for their cheeseburgers that were just placed on the concession stand's counter.
"My father as usual didn't want to come to any school activities and Nino isn't here yet, so would you want to sit with me, Marinette?" The boy asked, causing Marinette's face to get as bright as a light bulb over the thought.
"O-Of course I'll sit with you. Alya's probably going to be to busy taking pictures for her blog to just sit and watch the game the entire time anyway."
"Good then just follow me, and I will take you to the bleachers so we can eat these burgers." Adrian pointed to the plate in his hands.
"These are delicious. I still think our school concession stand has some of the best hamburgers." Marinette said, after taking a bite of the burger.
"These are really good. Hamburgers are a food I never get at home, so getting one tonight is a real treat." Adrian, deciding the burgers passed his taste test, broke off a small piece of burger and quickly slipped it under his jacket to feed Plagg, who did not waste his time accepting the food.
"Blah! You call that cheese? That's awful." The Kwami voiced his opinion in a quiet tone that only Adrian could hear. The teenager had to take a fast bite of his food just to avoid the laughter that he wanted to let out. "Plagg's sarcastic comments often drove Adrian crazy at times but for some reason, he took humor in this one but he didn't know why. Maybe it was the picture he had in his mind's eye, of what the Kwami's face must have looked like after trying what he thought was the worst cheese ever. Or it could have been the joy he felt within over what was just the start to a fun evening at the game, eating cheeseburgers and hanging out with a friend without his bodyguard constantly hovering over him. Sure he was there, but he appeared to be giving the teenager some space, which were all things Adrian was really grateful for.
"Hey girl. I see you finally mustered up the courage to ask Adrian to sit with you for the game." Alya said, glad that her best friend would not be sitting by herself if she got up to get closer to the ball field to take better photo's for her blog.
"I didn't ask him Alya, he asked me before I had the chance." Marinette looked towards Alya who was wondering if her friend did not have the chance or chickened out, but as long as the group of friends got to sit together, it didn't really matter who asked who first.
"She was more than happy to accept my invitation." Adrian's words caused Marinette to blush.
"Oh look Adrian, you just made Marinette's face blush as red as Ladybug's outfit." Alya couldn't help but giggle over her friend's brightly colored face.
"Just sit down Alya and please don't take any pictures of my face until I look
normal again." Marinette told her still giggling friend while hiding her own face, with the paper plate that once held her cheeseburger.
"Hey dude. I've been looking for you, guess I should have checked the bleachers sooner." Nino greeted his friend, walking up through the high school's bleachers to where Adrian was sitting. Nino's face quickly changed from the bright smile to a look of confusion when he saw a smirk on Adrian, Alya's laughter and Marinette hiding her face with a paper plate.
"Ahhh, what did I miss, dude?" Nino asked when he saw the strange scene, taking a seat beside Alya.
"I made a simple comment, it must have embarrassed Marinette because after I said it, her face turned red and she decided to hide it with her paper plate." Adrian looked towards Nino to answer his question and then to Marinette who was now slowly uncovering her face.
"I'm sorry for laughing Marinette, but if you could have seen your own face you probably would have laughed too." Alya apologised, hoping she didn't offend her friend.
"That's alright Alya. I can forgive you." Marinette accepted her friend's apology, causing Alya and even Adrian (since his comment started all of this,) to both breathe a sigh of relief.
"The players are all lining up on the field. The game will be starting soon!" Nino pointed out towards the field. All of the players from both teams were lining up waiting for the national anthem to begin.
After the anthems, the game had begun. The Knights were first up to bat the opposing team, the Comets, were on the outfield.
The first pitch had been thrown and the four friends along with all of the excited Knights fans started cheering watching the baseball fly as the player ran through all of the bases, earning himself a home run.
"That was an exciting way to start the game." Adrian said, as the next batter was stepping up to bat.
"I wasn't expecting a home run to be hit on the first pitch, so that was exciting." Marinette agreed as the next player slid into second base.
"I'll see you all in a while. I'm going to get closer to the ball field to get better pictures for the blog." Alya got up from her seat in search try best photography spot.
"If they can get a grand slam home run you'll be glad you did." Marinette looked from Alya to the ball field that now had a Knights player on every base.
"That's exactly why I'm going, girl." Alya walked down the bleachers and got as close as she could, just in time for the batter to hit the ball.
"We're going to get a grand slam dude!" Nino exclaimed, watching in excitement as all of the players of their high school ball team ran through the bases.
"We have gotten a lot of home runs this season, but this is our ever first grand slam!" Adrian's face lit up with joy watching the event transpire. Getting grand slam home runs could be hard to come by. The fact the Paris Knights had gotten their first grand slam in the championship game was a truly momentous occasion.
"It's already five to zero, this is so awesome!" Marinette said, happily looking at the scoreboard.
"This is ridiculous! Completely ridiculous! An angry voice rang out from the Comets side of the ball field.
"It's a championship game Fielder, if you can't take the heat then go back home." Another voice said this time from the Knights side of the field. Adrian recognized the voice of the Knights assistant coach, Flynn Althrow.
"I know we as the coaches for the Knights and the Comets both want our teams to win but there's no need for the two of you to get so angry over who the better team is right now. We got a game to play." Justin Homer stepped hoping to stop what could turn into a big arguement. The two assistant coaches never got along with each other but no one including the head coaches knew why.
"Homer has a point Flynn, you two do need to stop this arguing. Tonight was so supposed to be a fun night for us and the kids, it's not going to be very fun for anyone if the two because we can't even continue the game until the two of you decide to keep your mouths shut." The head coach for the Comets, Mason Ranell, spoke up for the first time, since the arguments had started.
This is not good. I don't know much about Flynn Althrow but I do know Coach Homer has got to be getting very annoyed with this. He likes having fun with his team but he also likes being organized and is always encouraging his team to play a fair and clean game but his assistant coach is fighting with the assistant from the Comets. Why do those two seem to hate each other so much? Adrian wondered from the bleachers while he and his three friends were trying to figure out what was going on. Obviously the Comets would be upset over the fact that their team was losing five to zero, but it seemed like there was more to the argument between the two assistant coaches that meant the eye. Something much deeper than the scoreboard display.
"Everyone just knock it off and listen to me!" Homer shouted to get the attention of Althrow, Fielder and now Ranell who were not just arguing verbally but were now pointing baseball bats at each other.
"Listen to what, Homer? That we need to stop arguing and start getting along like friends? I'll never make a friend out of my biggest rival, not after what he did to me ten years ago!" Althrow shouted, getting ready to run over towards Fielder, but he was stopped by Home who grabbed his shoulders.
"I need you to shut your mouth and listen for a minute, Althrow. I don't know what Fielder did to you ten years ago but here is not the place to settle it." Homer quietly told his assistant, but he was also starting to lose his cool.
I might need to transform if this argument gets any more heated. This thought was in the mind of Adrian and Marinette, knowing an argument like this would be the perfect setup for Hawkmoth to come in and akumitize any of the four coaches.
"I see even you are starting to lose your cool now, Homer. Well, what do you know, even the always play fair, don't argue it's always best to discreetly talk things over, Coach Homer does have the guts to argue." Althrow gave his sarcastic reply to the statement.
"Are you implying, I'm to soft?" Homer asked, giving into his anger, also picking up a baseball bat.
"Sometimes yes, other times no. Sometimes I think you could use a little toughening up though."
"So you do think I'm to soft. Fine I'm going to show you just how tough I can be. Boys get back on the field and we will show everyone just how tough of a team the Paris Knights are!" Coach Homer demanded the team to take to the field by not only raising his voice but pointing his baseball bat towards the field. The team of high schoolers did not want to argue and took to the field instantly, while the fans in the bleachers watched in shock as the Knights head coach was suddenly surrounded by a cloud of darkness, followed by a complete transformation of appearance. The red Knights uniform with the white trimming had been changed into a black uniform with red trimming. The brown baseball bat he was holding had also turned black with a red handle and around his waist was a pouch full of baseballs.
"I am Strikeout. The world's toughest baseball player!" Strikeout, formerly known as Justin Homer proclaimed to not only his fellow coaches, but to both teams and the fans in the bleachers as well.
I need to transform now! Adrian and Marinette both thought, thinking of where they should run to transform without being seen.
"I need to go throw this plate away." Marinette said, getting out of her seat and running towards the direction, searching for a place to transform in the process.
"I should throw my plate away too." Adrian jumped out of his seat running towards the direction of the school. He couldn't think of a better excuse for the moment on why he had to leave.
"Plagg, Coach Homer was just akumitized. I need to transform."
"Fine, but after all of this I want the biggest piece of Camembert you can find." The Kwami said, waiting for the teenager to speak the words for his transformation.
"Plagg, claws out!" The teenager spoke with enthusiasm, starting his transformation into Cat Noir.
"Tiki, spots on!" Marinette began her transformation into Ladybug, right as Adrian finished his transformation into Cat Noir.
The two superheroes quickly ran towards the direction of the baseball field, ready to start what was going to feel like a long and tricky battle, but Ladybug and Cat Noir had been through some tough battles before, they could surely handle this one. Neither had expected someone to get akumitized at the championship game, but unfortunately it did happen, causing this to turn into an even more exciting evening then the two heroes and baseball fans young and old had expected.
Author Note. I had way to much fun with Adrian, Plagg and Marinette in this chapter! Who thought the akumitized victim was going to be one of the assistant coaches since they started the argument? Hopefully the curve ball I threw with Justin Homer getting akumitized was exciting since that was kind of an unexpected turnabout. Will be working to get chapter 2 up as soon as I can. Writing Cat Noir and Ladybug's battle with Strikeout for chapter 2 is going to be a lot of fun! Hope you all enjoyed the story. Reviews, favorites and follows are always welcome.
