Chapter 7: Alpha
A/N: Hello! So I got the idea for this chapter from a comic on Deviantart called Down. I will link the comic and artist at the end of the chapter. Also tbehartoo helps me again! She's the best! Please enjoy this Chapter!
I do not own Miraculous Ladybug, that belongs to Thomas Astruc!
I do however own Luna Nocturna and her miraculous, so HANDS OFF (unless you wanna draw her then, please do!
Marinette got home from school, smiling dreamily, thinking about Chat Noir. She had already fallen a few times today from daydreaming, some falls happening in public. She walked to her room and sat her school bag on her table before flopping on her bed, giggling a bit.
"Tikki! He smiled at me! Chat Noir smiled at me!" Marinette said into her pillow, giggling happily.
Tikki shook her head, wishing her chosen would stop daydreaming about her partner, and see that another blonde boy had feelings for her. There was a knock on Marinette's bedroom door, causing Tikki to fly into Marinette's purse. Marinette sat up.
"Yes?" Marinette responded.
"Marinette, your mother would like to speak with you." Nathalie responded through the door, making Marinette sigh in annoyance.
"I'm on my way." Marinette stated, sitting up, she brushed her shirt a bit with her hands before heading out of her room.
She headed downstairs, standing outside of her mother's office, she hesitantly knocked.
"Come in." Sabine answered from the other side of the door.
Marinette opened the door and stepped inside the office. Her mother had her back to her, looking at the large painting of Tom Dupain, Sabine's late husband, and Marinette's father.
"You wanted to see me mother." Marinette said, holding her arms behind her back.
"I seem to have been told, not by you, but by the young Bourgeois boy, that you've been more clumsy out in public, falling onto people, daydreaming about some childish boy who dresses up like a cat! Do you know how bad your making me look?" Sabine said, looking at Marinette once she finished speaking.
Marinette was shocked, and angry.
"I'm ruining your 'look'? You don't even act like a mother to me! Or even care about my clumsiness or personal matters!" Marinette yelled.
Sabine frowned and walked up to her daughter, as she kept yelling.
"You have no right to even be called my mother! Dad was right! You don't need family! All you care about is your stupid job-" Marinette froze as her mom backhanded her across the face.
Marinette looked down, not saying a word as her mother gasped in shock.
"Marinette I-." Sabine began, but Marinette interrupted her.
"I'm sorry Mrs Cheng. I won't be a bother to you anymore. If you don't mind I will be going to my room now." Marinette said, in a monotone voice, not meeting her mother's eyes.
Marinette left the room and headed straight for her room. Once there, she threw her purse on her bed. Tikki flew out and over to Marinette.
"It's ok Marinette, she can't always act this way." Tikki said, trying to comfort her.
Marinette shook her head grabbing a picture of her, Alya, Nino, Luna, and Adrien.
"My friends are more of a family to me then my mother is! I don't want to be Ladybug anymore! I just wish my friends were my family! Like how wolves are!" She yelled, throwing the earrings back at Tikki.
Tikki caught the earrings and frowned.
"But Marinette! You need to calm down, or else an akuma will come. Oh no…." Tikki said as an akuma flew right into the picture of Marinette and her friends.
Tikki flew out the window, going to find Elfie.
"Poor child, your own family doesn't care about you. I can give you the powers to make your own family." Hawk Moth said to Marinette, who smirked.
"I would like that very much." Marinette said, standing up.
"Alpha, I give you the powers to make your family a reality, all I ask in return is Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous!" Hawk Moth stated.
"Of course Hawk Moth!" Marinette stated as a black bubbling covered over her.
Alpha stepped out of Marinette's room. A long silver coat with black fur along the edges, on her shoulders. A silver one piece underneath, with black fur stripes along her hips. Her boots were black with a silver paw print on the bottom. A fluffy silver tail hung down from behind her, and fluffy silver and black ears sat on top of her head, her hair was down, and wavy. Her eyes no longer their brilliant blue, but a sharp silver color, contrasting the black mask. Claw gloved fingers clenched and unclenched as she felt right with the gloved hands.
Nathalie looked up, seeing Alpha.
"Marinette? What are you doing?" Nathalie asked, making Alpha look over at her.
She stepped closer to Nathalie before placing a clawed hand on her head.
"Join my family." Alpha stated, black bubble covered Nathalie, turning her into a silver wolf, her glasses still on her muzzle.
"Let's go get the rest of our family." Alpha said, running out of the manor with wolf Nathalie.
Luna sat in her room, working on homework, Acorn sitting comfortable on her desk lamp. Luna smiled at her kwami, gently petting his head. She went back to her homework. Suddenly, a loud knock sounded at her balcony window, startling both Luna and Acorn.
Luna ran over to her window, seeing a ladybug themed kwami floating there. She opened the window. Tikki flew inside, panting a bit, she landed on Luna's desk. Acorn landed next to her and hugged her.
"Tikki! What are you doing here? Where's your chosen?" Acorn asked, worried.
"Marinette got into an argument with her maman, and her maman slapped her across the face. Marinette got so mad, she said she didn't want to be Ladybug anymore so she threw her earrings at me before she got akumitized." Tikki explained, before handing the earrings to Luna.
"Elfie, I mean Luna, you need to become Ladybug and save Marinette, but you can't tell Chat Noir that Marinette is Ladybug, just tell him Ladybug couldn't join this fight so you had to take over." Tikki said.
Luna gulped, but took the earrings, putting them in. She looked in the mirror.
"O-Ok, Tikki please tell me what I need to know about being Ladybug." Luna asked.
Tikki began telling Luna everything she told Marinette about being Ladybug.
"To transform you say Spots On, to detransform you say Spots Off. After using Lucky Charm, you only have five minutes till you detransform. After you free the akuma from her you have to open your yoyo and capture the akuma in it, that's how you purify the akuma. And once you do that you toss up the item that you got as your Lucky Charm, and yell Miraculous Ladybug." Tikki explained.
Luna nodded, sad that her friend has been akumitized. She took a deep breath before nodding at Tikki.
"Tikki, Spots On!" Luna stated, as Tikki flew into the earrings.
Luna's Ladybug transformation looked exactly like Marinette's. She even had the pigtails with red ribbons. Once the transformation finished, Acorn wished Luna and Tikki good luck before he hid himself in Luna's bed.
Luna went out onto her small balcony, and onto her roof. She threw the yoyo out towards a building a bit a ways away. The yoyo wrapped around one of the building decor, and Luna braced herself before tugging on the string, and swinging towards the city.
Alpha walked down the street, she had gained more wolves. Nathalie, Gorilla (who was the biggest wolf in this pack), Alya (who still had her glasses on even as a wolf), and Nino (he has his headphones around his neck). She stopped when she got to the school, smirking as she looked towards Alya and Nino, nodding at them. The two wolves ran into the school, howling and growling at the students and staff, making them all run outside, right into Alpha's trap.
"Hello classmates, students, and staff. You will all join my pack." Alpha said, then began to howling, as the four wolves howled along with her.
Luna landed on top of the school crouching down as she tried to figure out what the akumitized item was, without being spotted.
Adrien was at home, having heard about the akumitized Marinette from Alya before she got turned. He immediately went to his room, transformed, even though Plagg complained the entire time, and headed towards the school.
Luna threw her yoyo at Alpha's hand, keeping her from turning anymore people into wolves. She then jumped down onto the steps of the school.
"Stop this now, Marinette! Turning people into wolves isn't right!" Luna proclaimed.
Chat Noir landed next to Luna, looking over her carefully. Realizing it was Elfie using Ladybug's miraculous.
"We will need to talk later about why you have Ladybug's miraculous, Elfie." Chat whispered before turning towards Alpha, baton ready to fight.
"The name is Alpha! And you shall hand over the Ladybug miraculous that doesn't belong to you! And you chaton, will hand over your Chat Noir ring miraculous! I would recommend doing it now, or else my pack will have to rip it from your bodies!" Alpha stated, freeing her hand from the yoyo.
Alpha smirked and snapped her fingers, the wolves turned towards Luna and Chat Noir, growling and snarling as they stalked closer. Luna panicked a bit, not wanting to get injured, she grabbed Chat Noir's arm and throwing the yo-yo, swung them away from the school. Alpha growled as her tail swayed angrily before she turned towards the students and staff, smirking.
"Join my family." Alpha said as she aimed her hand at the group, a yellow light surrounded them, turning all of them into wolves.
They all walked up to her, waiting to be commanded.
"Let us go follow them!" Alpha commanded as she began to run on all fours along with the wolves in her pack, all heading towards the Eiffel tower.
Luna landed on a beam of the Eiffel tower, setting Chat Noir down. He looked at her, arms crossed over his chest.
"Explain to me why you are being Ladybug, Elfie, and while you're at it, where is the bug?" Chat asked, a serious expression on his face.
Luna gulped and came up with the perfect excuse.
"Well, Ladybug needed to go do a family thing out of town, and so her kwami came to me with the Ladybug miraculous, and don't worry Ladybug will be back tomorrow." Luna said, smiling.
Chat narrowed his eyes, not fully believing the story, since he knew that Ladybug had some family issues in her personal life. He figured Luna was telling him this for a reason so he just sighed.
"Alright, but how did Marinette get akumitized? She's amazing!" Chat Noir said, hearts in his eyes.
Luna groaned, just wanting to de-evilize Marinette.
"Come on, I still haven't figured out what her akumitized item is! So yeah, I think it has something to do with her home life." Luna stated.
"That makes sense, from what I understand, her mother, can be kinda cold sometimes." Chat Noir stated, holding his tongue from mentioning that Sabine Cheng was his idol for fashion designing.
Luna look out over Paris for a minute, before grabbing the yoyo.
"Lucky Charm!" She called out as she threw the yoyo in the air. A dog whistle with the ladybug print landed in her hand.
"A dog whistle?" Luna asked, confused by the item.
Chat shrugged. "It's supposed to help in fighting against the akuma." Chat explained.
Alpha stopped at the bottom of the Eiffel tower, smirking when she saw the two heroes. She let out a loud and fearsome howl, the other wolves following suit. This group howl startled Luna so much she tripped and nearly fell off the beam they were standing on, but thankfully, Chat Noir grabbed her hand and pulled her back up.
"Thanks Chat. Now I think we need to take out these wolves, would you like to take care of the wolves, while I take on Marinette?" Luna asked, smiling.
Chat sighed, looking down at all the wolves, gulping. "Alright, I'll distract the wolves, you save Marinette." Chat said before climbing down the Eiffel Tower.
Alpha smirked, she looked over at Nathalie and Gorilla. "My pups, I need you two to go bring me Cole Bourgeois. My childhood friend needs to join my pack. The rest of you, bring me Chaton's miraculous!" Alpha commanded.
The wolves formally known as N and G, ran off towards the Bourgeois hotel, while the rest snarled and snapped at Chat Noir.
"Nice wolves, good wolves…" Chat Noir said holding his baton out in front of him.
Luna landed in front of Alpha, ready to fight. Alpha chuckled and stood on all fours, her clawed gloves dug into the ground.
"Bring it on Fake Ladybug!" Alpha shouted before running on all fours towards Luna.
Luna shrieked and grabbed Alpha by her back leg and flipped her, making her smack her back against the ground, a small whimper could be heard.
The wolves stopped attacking Chat Noir the minute they heard the whimper. They all turned to face Luna, in sync. Luna gulped before using the yoyo to fight off the wolves. One managed to leave a good sized bite mark on her arm, and another on her opposite leg. She knew that even with the cure, she was gunna have a bit of scars left.
Chat began swatting at the wolves, getting them off of Luna. He stood next to her.
"Where is the akumitized item?" Chat asked. Luna looked all over Alpha, before noticing a purple piece of paper sticking out of a pocket on her breast.
"It looks like a piece of paper, maybe a photo in her breast pocket. One of us just needs to get close enough to grab it and tear it." Luna explained.
Chat nodded, before Alpha glared at the two.
"You will not win!" Alpha growled as she stood up.
Howls could be heard from behind Alpha, making her smirk. She turned to see Nathalie and Gorilla the wolves, dragging Cole by the back of his shirt, him whining the entire way.
"Cole Bourgeois, it is time for you to join my pack!" Alpha said, shining her beam at Cole, transforming him into a blonde wolf, a bit smaller than Gorilla.
Alpha smirked as she pet Cole's head.
"Now my wolves, it's time for us to retrieve the miraculous!" Alpha said pointing at Luna and Chat.
The wolves snarled as they surrounded the heroes. Chat and Luna stood back to back. Luna looked at all the wolves, gulping as the pain in her arm and leg began to become more and more prominent. She looked at the dog whistle. Suddenly the Ladybug vision came into effect. She saw the whistle shine in Ladybug spots, and then the wolves did the same thing. She smiled as she put the whistle to her lips and blew.
All the wolves froze, their ears folding down and their tails between their legs. Even Alpha was covering her wolf ears. Chat Noir took this opportunity and ran to Alpha, calling out his Cataclysm, and grabbing the photo, destroying it. The akuma flew out of the ashes of the photo, starting to fly away.
Alpha groaned as she fell to the ground. Luna stopped blowing on the dog whistle and pulled out the yoyo. Running her finger along the top, opening it, she swung the yoyo at the akuma.
"Time to de-evilize!" she called out as she caught the akuma.
She pulled the yoyo back to her, opening it up, the pure white butterfly flew out.
"Bye, Bye little butterfly!" Luna said, waving at the butterfly.
She then grabbed the dog whistle, taking it off of her neck, and throwing it up in the air.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" She called out as the whistle burst into ladybugs, fixing everything, and turning all the wolves back into people.
Luna smiled as she felt the bite marks stop hurting. Though she had a feeling the miraculous cure didn't fully heal the marks. She turned towards Chat, who had his fist out. She smiled and bumped his fist with hers.
"Pound it!" They said in unison.
Dark bubbling magic ran down Alpha's body, transforming her back into Marinette. Marinette groaned before looking around, she saw Ladybug and blinked in confusion. Luna saw this and placed a finger on her own lips. Marinette nodded, then looked up to see Chat standing in front of her, holding out a clawed hand.
"Are you alright, Marinette?" He asked her.
Marinette blushed as she nodded shyly.
"I-i'm fine. Your hot…. I-I mean,... thank you. C-could you possibly take me back home?" Marinette stuttered, taking his clawed hand in hers.
Chat helped Marinette stand up before smiling.
"Of course, purrincess. Hang on tight!" Chat said, picking Marinette up bridal style, both teens were blushing as Chat ran off to Marinette's home.
Luna chuckled before heading back to her home, she landed on her balcony and went inside before detransforming. Tikki flew out of the earrings as Luna took them off, handing them to Tikki.
"Thank you Luna, for saving my chosen one. May I stay here for the night? I don't know when Marinette will be alone again." Tikki asked.
Luna smiled, handing Tikki a walnut cookie.
"Sure you can, I hope this walnut cookie is ok. Acorn here only eats walnuts so yea. Also I may have told my parents about Acorn, but I told him that he's my pet owl. I hope that's ok Tikki." Luna said, making Tikki sigh.
"No one is supposed to know about us, but I guess since Acorn looks like a normal elf owl, it works, but Acorn, you have to remember to act like an elf owl, you can't talk like we normally do." Tikki stated before flying under Luna's pillow.
Luna smiled as she went back to her desk, before her phone's notification went off. She picked up her phone, unlocked it, and clicked on the notification. The notification was about the school closing for the rest of the day. Luna smiled happily, putting her phone away, she began working on her homework. She looked at her corkboard that hung on the wall above her desk. Smiling as she looked at the picture of Elfie and Lulu, Lulu hugging her Acorn the kwami plush, and her other owl plush.
Luna snapped out of her memory when her cell phone began ringing. She looked at her phone, seeing that it was a group video call from Marinette and Alya. She sighed before answering the call. Alya and Marinette's faces appeared on her screen.
"Hey girls, what's up?" Luna asked as she sat up in her chair, holding her phone up so they could see her face.
Acorn sat on his perch on her desk, quietly hooting as he slept.
"Chat Noir took me home personally! And he called me his purrincess!" Marinette exclaimed happily.
Alya sighed. "I didn't even get to record the battle for the Kitty Catch blog! Thanks Mari!" Alya said, glaring at the camera.
Luna giggled as Marinette chuckled embarrassed at the fact it was her fault. The girls chatted into the night about Marinette's crush on Chat Noir, the akumitized Marinette, and they made plans for Saturday, a girls day out. Luna smiled as she figured tomorrow would be the day she tells Marinette that she knows her secret.
