Chapter 7

Preparing for the Queen's Arrival

Marinette's POV

"But we're not ready!" I cried.

"The queen wants you weak. I must start training you to work as a team. It will be difficult." He warned.

"We have to be ready for her." Adrien said.

"Yes, but rest tonight. Tomorrow will be here soon." He left.

We spent the night in uneasy rest. It was difficult to keep our minds off the queen's arrival. Even Plagg couldn't eat his cheese. We all went to bed pretty soon.

In the morning, Master Fu came back and we began teamwork training. It was awful. We didn't know how to use our new powers and old powers together, much less work off each other. Then it was kinda like being back in school. We learned which powers worked with each other and which didn't. And then, we tried again. It was better, but still not the best.

We worked our tails to the bone and we got pretty good until we had to fight Master Fu. He was a tough opponent. We had to take a break after our fight with him. After we recovered, we tried again and lost, but we lost less this time. Our training was getting dangerous, Adrien got hurt and had a bruised up back, along with all the cuts we got. Master Fu helped bandage them all.

Suddenly, the dark presence I had grown to ignore suddenly hit me full force. I couldn't speak. I was paralyzed. It hurt a lot.

"Marinette, what's wrong? I- Ahh!" Adrien doubled over.

"The queen has arrived. There's not much time left." Master Fu frowned.
