Okay, I'm back.

Sorry about that, I was working on a few other stories, and didn't come back to this one. Anyways, here's the updated character list for Miraculous Ladybug.

Miraculous Ladybug:

Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug

Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir

Alya Césaire/Rena Rouge

Nino Lahiffe/Carapace

Nathalie Sancouer/Mayura

Chloe Bourgeois

Lila Rossi

Without further ado, let's begin!

Episode 9:

Princess Justice

(Lila Rossi Part 1)

Since the arrival of Lila Rossi, a new resident, things had been going pretty bad. One thing was that there were a lot of moments where Adrien had to keep Marinette away from the newcomer (due to a rivalry between the two). And the other thing had to do with Chloe Bourgeois, who was very secretive about what she was doing with Lila.

But the worst was the fact that Lila was pretty much causing a lot of trouble by turning a lot of residents against Marinette. These residents were: Bowser, King Dedede, Ridley, King K. Rool, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Bowser Junior, Mario, Daisy, Roy, Ike, Lucina, Alicia, Robin, and Bayonetta. Other residents (like Chrom and Marth) were able to stay out of the situation. Adrien, Alya, and Marinette's friends were all against Lila.

But there was one thing that happened. Something that nobody saw coming.

Dark Pit nearly getting akumatized.

Lila had just teased Dark Pit, who was now sitting in the room that he shared with Pit, Palutena, and Viridi. Cat Noir was there too.

"Don't listen to Lila and Chloe. They just want to get you akumatized," said Cat Noir.

Just as he said that, an akuma fluttered into the room, and landed on Dark Pit's right cuff.

"Dark One, I am Hawkmoth!"

"Dark Pit, resist!" yelled Cat Noir.

"You have the power to seek revenge on those who diss you. In return-"

"Hawkmoth, NO! I will not be helping you!"

"But you could get the revenge you need!"

"Lila Rossi just wanted to cause trouble in the mansion. Don't even think about it!"

The akuma fluttered out, turned back into a butterfly, and fluttered out the window.

Dark Pit: You just had to do that, Lila.
Lila Rossi: Me? Why would I ever do that to you?
Dark Pit: Stop lying. Your lies are going to get you nowhere. And you won't get away with it. Turning people against Marinette...

Not long after, Chrom came running in. "Have you seen Lucina and Robin anywhere?"

"They're probably after Marinette. Lila manipulated them with her lies," said Cat Noir.

"WHAT?"

Chrom: First, I can't find my daughter and tactician, and now they've been manipulated by Lila?
Cat Noir: Did I mention that Robin's crush was manipulated too?
Chrom: Cat Noir, you're kidding, right?
Cat Noir: I'm not kidding. But we've got to help Marinette, get at least Lucina, Robin, and Alicia out of Lila's manipulation, and avoid Marinette being akumatized.
Chrom: Let's do it.

"I'll help Alicia," offered Dark Pit, before running off.

"He nearly got himself akumatized thanks to Lila, and now he's running into a situation where he could be akumatized AGAIN!" groaned Cat Noir. "In any case, I'm off to help Robin. That leaves you with Lucina, Chrom. Be sure not to get akumatized while you're at it!"

About half an hour later, all of the residents (excluding the ones that weren't targeted, Marinette, Lila herself, and Master Hand, as well as Crazy Hand) were free from manipulation.

The problem was, it was too late before Marinette got akumatized.

How?

She was crying in her bedroom.

"Tikki, give my earrings to someone else!" she sobbed.

"No Marinette!" said Tikki.

"Please!"

Tikki sighed before taking the earrings and flying off.

She was found by Sakura.

"You're Tikki, right?" the Hoshidan princess asked.

"Yes."

"What's going on? Shouldn't you be with Marinette?"

"That's the thing. She could get akumatized."

"WHAT?!"

"I know it's surprising, but please. Until we can get our Marinette back, take the earrings. The phrase is Spots On, and you have a power of Lucky Charm."

"Got it!"

"And you have to capture this thing called an akuma, and use a phrase called Miraculous Ladybug to return things to normal. Do you think you can handle it?"

"Hopefully."

"When you're ready, say the phrase."

"Got it!"

Meanwhile, an akuma infected a bracelet that Marinette was wearing.

"Princess Justice, I am Hawkmoth. You have the power to expose the truth, and help stop Lila Rossi. In turn, you must bring me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses!"

"Yes, Hawkmoth!"

dun Dun DUN!

Yeah, so Marinette gets akumatized.

My original plan for this was to have Tikki give the Miraculous to Alya, have her unify Trixx and Tikki, and transform into Rena Bug. But afterwards, I decided to use Sakura. I would use Annabeth, but I decided to go for someone else.

Anyways, this is the second time that someone else uses the Ladybug Miraculous (first time is in the episode Reflekdoll, when Adrien becomes Mister Bug).

But for now, enjoy.

Bug out!
