Hello, people of fanfiction, and welcome to my first ever Miraculous story! I hope you guys will like it...Anyway, I don't own anything except for my OC'S.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
"Many centuries ago, magic jewels bestowing extraordinary powers were created. These were...the Miraculous! Throughout history, heroes have used these jewels for the good of the human race. Two of these miraculous are more powerful than the others; the earrings of the Ladybug, which provides the power of creation; and the ring of the Black Cat, which grants the power of destruction. According to legend, whoever controls both these jewels at the same time, will achieve absolute power."
"I want that absolute power, Nooroo. I must have those miraculous!" A man says, his face hidden in the shadows as he stood in an empty room filled with white butterflies. The man was holding a small purple brooch in his hands that had a picture of a beautiful woman inside as the man stares at the picture lovingly before closing it as he glared at the small purple butterfly creature floating in front of him. The butterfly creature is 4 inches tall with a tiny purple body, purple eyes, purple wings, and a large head. His name is Nooroo.
"But nobody knows where these Miraculous are, Master!" Nooroo says as the man smirks evilly.
"I found you my little Nooroo, you're Miraculous...remind me of its power again." He says while caressing the Miraculous as Nooroo begins explaining.
"The Moth Brooch allows you to give someone their own superpowers and to make that person your devoted follower!"
"And when it comes to luring superheroes, what could be better than creating supervillains?" He says with a grin as Nooroo eyes widen in horror.
"But master, the Miraculous is not meant to be used for evil purposes!" Nooroo shouted worriedly as the man grew angry and glared at the small, scared creature.
"I must have this absolute power!" He screams while stomping his foot as he pointed at Nooroo. "Your Miraculous is in my control! I'm your master now, and you must obey me!" He shouted sternly as Nooroo whimpers but nodded.
"Yes, master," Nooroo says while bowing his head sadly as the man smirks and puts on the Moth Miraculous.
"Nooroo! Dark wings rise!" He yells as the butterflies covered his body, and Nooroo yelps as he was forcefully sucked into the Miraculous and the man transformed. The man was now wearing a dark purple dress shirt with a black butterfly-shaped lapel, black dress pants, and a silver mask that covers the majority of his face. His Brooch had transformed into a dark purple button with four light pink strands of fabric coming out of it, making it resemble a butterfly or moth."From this day on, I shall be known as...Hawk Moth!" He says while laughing evilly as a dark indigo cane appeared in his hands.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, we see a turtle-like creature sleeping soundly in his bed before waking up as he sensed a disturbance in the air. The small turtle is 4 inches tall with a tiny green body and a large head. He has a slightly darker green shell on his back, green eyes, a short pointed tail, and an antenna on his head. His name is Wayzz.
"Master! Master!" Wayzz shouted while flying out of a gramophone as he alerted his Master, who was a short old Chinese man with dark brown eyes, gray hair, a mustache, and a goatee. He wears a red Hawaiian shirt with a white hibiscus flower pattern, tan capri pants, and dark brown shoes. He was also wearing a green bracelet with 6 triangular carvings, and it was shaped like a turtle with a black string tied through holes in the turtle's head and tail to make a loop. His name is Wang Fu.
Wang Fu was startled by the small turtle's sudden appearance as he was busy working with a customer who heard the tiny turtle as he looks up. Thinking quickly, the old man started chanting as his customer looked up at him confusedly just as Wayzz disappeared into Wang Fu's shirt as the short old man continued chanting.
"...master, master. Chanting, it's all part of the treatment. Master, master..." Wang Fu says as he then lifted the customer up to his feet easily and begins pushing the customer out the door. "Thank you for coming, come again next week!"
"But-" He didn't have a chance to respond as Wang Fu closed the door.
"Master Wang Fu." The small turtle says, appearing out of Wang Fu's shirt. "I felt the aura of the Moth Miraculous!" He says as Wang Fu gasped in shock.
"I thought it has been lost forever! Are you sure about this, Wayzz?"
"I'm sure, but master the aura that I sense was one full of pure evil! I fear it may have gotten into the hands of a dark power!" Wayzz says as Wang Fu narrows his eyes in determination.
"We must find Nooroo and his Miraculous. If it has gotten into the wrong hands, there's no telling what evil will come upon the world! It's time to transform!" He says while holding onto his bracelet as it glowed green. "Wayzz! Shell-" Wang Fu says, before grunting as he doubled over in pain.
"Please, master. Be reasonable. You are-"
"Still young!" Wang Fu protested as he got up from the floor. "I'm only 186 years old! But you're right, Wayzz. I can no longer do it alone. We'll need some help." The master says as he opens the gramophone, and the Miraculous chest box popped out. Not wasting time, Wang Fu grabs the earrings of the Ladybug, the ring of the Black Cat, the amulet of the White Wolf, and the pocket watch of the Rabbit. "Let's go." He says as Wayzz nodded, and they ventured off to assemble their future warriors.
"Marinette! Douglass! You're alarm's been going off for 15 minutes! You both are going to be late for your first day back at school!" A short Chinese woman yells as she was busy preparing breakfast for her family. The short Chinese woman has short black hair with blue highlights and gray eyes. She was wearing a white cheongsam with a red, black, and gold plant design, a silver band on her ring finger, periwinkle pants, and black/white dress shoes. Her name is Sabine Cheng.
Two groans could be heard from the upstairs bedroom as a 13-year-old half French half Chinese girl came downstairs and greeted her mother. She had medium-length black hair with blue reflections tied up into two pigtails, bluebell eyes, and light freckles on her nose. Currently, she was wearing a white t-shirt with pink polka dots and black edges, and light pink sweatpants with a white string. Her name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
"Morning, mom," Marinette says while kissing her mother's cheek as Sabine smiles at her daughter kindly.
"Good morning, Marinette." She says just as a 12-year-old half French half Chinese boy appeared as he walked downstairs, and yawns as he walked over to Sabine. The boy has long black hair with blue highlights, gray eyes, light freckles on his nose, and a small scar on his left cheek. Currently, he was wearing a black tank top with gray sweatpants and no shoes. His name is Douglass Dupain-Cheng, Marinette's little brother.
"Hey, mom. What's for breakfast?" Douglass asked while kissing her cheek as Sabine smiled at her son warmly.
"I'm making waffles."
"Good, I'm starving!" He says while taking his seat as Marinette poured herself a bowl of cereal. "Hey, sis."
"Morning, Douglass," Marinette says with a depressed tone as she played with her food. "I bet you anything, Chloe will be in our class again."
"Four years in a row, is that possible?" Sabine asked as Marinette nodded.
"Definitely. Lucky me." She says while rolling her eyes.
"Don't let her get to you, Marinette. Even if Chloe does show up, just ignore her. That bitch is not worth your time."
"Douglass! Language!" Sabine says while hitting her son on the head with a wooden spoon as he winced.
"Sorry, mom." He says with a sheepish grin as Marinette smiles amusedly at her family antics. A few minutes later, we see the Dupain-Cheng siblings walking downstairs into their family's bakery while wearing their usual attire. Marinette was wearing a white t-shirt with black stitching, and a flower design below her collar. She was also wearing a dark gray blazer with her sleeves rolled up, rolled up pink jeans, and pink ballet shoes. Douglas was wearing a green shirt with a dragon design on it, a black jacket with gold edges, ripped blue jeans, and black shoes.
"La-la-la-la!" A tall man sings while presenting the teens two boxes filled with macaroons. The man has a large build with short brown hair, green eyes, sideburns, and a mustache. He was wearing a light blue shirt with two buttons at the front of the neckline, a silver band on his ring finger, light brown pants, and dark brown dress shoes. His name was Tom Dupain, Marinette, and Douglass's father.
"Dad, these are so awesome!" Marinette says as Douglass drooled at the sight of the delicious macaron's.
"They look so good~," Douglass says, reaching over to grab the box, but Sabine swats his hand away.
"No, Douglass! You already ate! Besides, you start eating one macaroon, you will eat them all!" Sabine says as Douglass pouted and looked up to his dad for support as Tom shakes his head.
"Your mother is right, son. You can't control yourself when you're around our food. We'll just have to give this box to your girlfriend when she shows up." Tom says as Douglass groans in annoyance.
"I keep telling you guys to stop calling Alix, my girlfriend! We're just friends!" He screams as everybody rolls their eyes.
"Keep telling yourself that little brother," Marinette says with a knowing tone as the doorbell rang, and the young teenage girl made her way to the door to open it and was greeted by a 12-year-old girl, who had a cocky smirk on her face as she waved at Marinette.
The 12-year-old girl had a lean build with blue eyes, and a messy bob-cut pink hair, that on the right side is partially tied into a small side ponytail. She was wearing a black long-sleeved slate gray shirt underneath a dark brown tank top with each sleeve having a lime green scale patterned fabric snake that starts from her shoulders and coils around her arms until their heads stop at her wrists. She also wears black jean shorts with pink stitching and black lace at the cuffs, black 1/2 hose length socks with two pink horizontal stripes, and black high top shoes. Her name is Alix Kubdel, Douglass's childhood best friend.
"Hey, Mari. Is Douglass home?" She asked as Marinette smirks mischievously.
"Douglass! Your girlfriend is here!" She screams as Alix stared at her wide-eyed, before blushing in embarrassment as she looks away.
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Douglass screams as Tom appeared behind Marinette.
"Hey, Alix. I was wondering if you can bring these box of macaron's to your class today. I would've asked Douglass, but you know how he is with food." Tom says while chuckling nervously as Alix composed herself and nodded.
"S-Sure, no problem, Mr. Dupain." She says while stuttering a bit as she grabbed the box. Marinette was about to make another sly comment when suddenly Douglass rushed right passed her as he grabbed his backpack and took Alix's outstretched hand.
"Come on, Alix. Let's go before my dumb sister embarrasses me again." Douglass says, not noticing Alix blushing again as they went outside.
"Love you, bro!" Marinette says as Douglass rolled his eyes, but smiled nonetheless.
"Love you too," Douglass says as he closes the door and turned to Alix. "Siblings, am I right?" Alix nodded, her blush fading again.
"I know the feeling," Alix says, before smirking as she pulled out her skateboard. "Race you to school!" The pink-haired girl says as she rolls away on her skateboard.
"Hey!" Douglass yells while chuckling a bit as he pulled out his own skateboard and raced after her.
"Whew, made it just in time! I hope I'm not too late for class." A handsome teenage boy says while panting a bit as he stared at his new school with an anxious/excited look on his face.
The handsome boy is 12-years-old with brushed-back blonde hair and has emerald green eyes. He wears a white button-down shirt with an upturned collar and sleeves rolled up above his elbow, which he keeps unbuttoned. Underneath, he wears a black shirt with 5 horizontal stripes around the chest, which are colored from top to bottom, yellow, olive green, bright green, dark green, and periwinkle. He also wears blue jeans and orange sneakers. His name is Adrien Agreste.
"Wow...so, this is school." Adrien says with a small smile on his face as he couldn't wait for his first day of school...well, any school for that matter since he was homeschooled for all of his life. Adrien's train of thought was interrupted as a silver car pulled up to him, and he groans.
"Adrien, please reconsider! You know what your father wants!" A woman yells while coming out of the car as she marched up to him. The woman has pale skin, black/red striped framed glasses, dull blue eyes, and black hair with the left side of her head dyed red, and is tied up in a bun. She wears a red turtle sweater, a black dress jacket, black pants, black medium-heel shoes, and round creamy-white earrings. Her name is Nathalie Sancoeur.
"This is what I wanna do!" Adrien says as he was about to run into school when suddenly he saw Wang Fu trying to get up from the ground as he reached for his cane, but couldn't muster up the strength to do it as many people walked right past him. Not helping the old man at all as Adrien, without thinking, ran over to the old man's side as he helped him up to his feet.
"Thank you, young man." Wang Fu says gratefully as Adrien smiles at him, not noticing the old man placing a Miraculous Box in his backpack as the boy tries to go back to school, but his bodyguard stops him. Adrien's bodyguard is a large and tall man with black hair that as gray sideburns on the sides of his head and dark blue eyes. He wears a dark bluish-gray dress suit with a light bluish-gray sweater underneath the jacket, and dark bluish-gray dress shoes. His name is unknown, although everyone calls him "Gorilla" for his large stature.
"I just want to go to school like everybody else. What's so wrong with that?" He asked as Natalie gave him a subtle, sympathetic look while Gorilla looks indifferent. "Please don't tell my father about all this." He pleaded as they got into the car and drove off.
"Two down, two to go." Wang Fu says with a smile on his face as he stood up straight and walked away just as Douglass and Alix appeared.
"Winner!" Alix cheered, winning their little race as she pumps her fist in the air in victory.
"No fair, you had a headstart!" Douglass says, slightly pouting as Alix puts away her skateboard, and he did the same.
"Nobody likes a sore loser, Douggy. I made it here first fair, and square-Ah!" Alix says, before yelping as a foot came out of nowhere and tripped her.
"Alix! Are you okay?" Douglass says as he helped her up.
"Yeah, I've survived worse falls than that, but who did-" A familiar high pitch laugh cut off her train of thought as she groans and turns around. "Oh, god. Not you again." Standing in front of them was a 12-year-old girl with long blonde hair, light blue eyes, and wears a purple vest with a diamond pattern around the waist, a white long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes. Her name is Katherine Bourgeois.
"Have a nice trip, Alix. See you next fall!" She says while laughing obnoxiously as Alix rolled her eyes.
"Oh, very funny, Catherine. Did you come up with that joke alone, or did your Daddy helped you?" She asked with a grin as the blonde glares at her.
"First of all, is Katherine with a K. Second, unlike my big sister, I don't rely on my Daddy to do anything. Whatever I get in my life is thanks to my good looks and brain. Unlike you, who seemed to have neither." Katherine says with a smirk of her own as Alix growled angrily and reached for her backpack.
"Oh, you so asked for it! I'm going to take my skateboard, and shove it up to your-"
"Whoa! Whoa! Alix, calm down! You don't want to have detention on the first day of school, don't you?" Douglass asked, coming in between the girls as Alix huffs and walks away.
"Whatever. You're not worth the time." She says as Katherine grins.
"Wow, how ironic! You're telling me that I rely on my daddy to solve all of my problems, and yet here you are relying on your loser boyfriend to save your worthless ass." She says as Alix freezes in her steps, and her fists tighten in anger.
"Alix, don't," Douglass says, trying to diffuse the situation, but it was too late as Alix turns around.
"That's it! Douglass! Hold these for me!" Alix says while handing him her hat and the box of macarons.
"Alix, please-" Douglass pleads as he grabs her hand, but retracted as she glared at him. "You know what? Have fun. Just please don't hurt her too badly."
"No promises," Alix says as she cracked her knuckles and charged at the terrified Katherine.
"Well, here we go again," Douglass says with a groan while sitting down as he started eating his dad's macaroons. In the middle of the fight, we see a 12-year-old boy walking up the stairs leading to the school as he spotted a frowning Douglass and walked over to him. The 12-year-old boy has spikey brown hair that reaches to his neck, green eyes, and wears nerdy looking glasses. His clothes consist of a blue sweater with a black t-shirt underneath, brown pants, and black shoes. His name is Duncan Reynolds, Douglass, and Alix's friend.
"Hey, dude," Duncan says, greeting his friend as Douglass turned to him grumbly.
"Hey, Duncan." Douglass says as Duncan tilted his head at him confusedly.
"What are you doing out here? You're going to miss the first period. And, where's Alix?" He asked as Douglass blankly pointed at the girls, who were wrestling each other on the ground, yelling out names to inappropriate for me to write on this site.
"Ah, one of Alix and Katherine's famous catfights. What are they fighting about this time?" Duncan asked as Douglass shrugs.
"Oh, you know the usual." He says as the teachers showed up. "Oh, great. The teachers are here to try and stop the fight...and now Alix is pulling on Mrs. Rodriguez's hair."
"Something's telling me you guys are going to miss class. You want me to take notes?" Duncan asks as Douglass smiles.
"Yes, please. Oh, and take this for me and share it with the class." He says as Duncan nodded, grabbing the box of macaroons as he walked away. Douglass sighs as he stood up and went to help the teachers break up the fight.
"I can't believe that blonde harpy is getting away scot-free, while I'm getting detention," Alix says, fuming as she and Douglass were walking to the principle office.
"I can't believe we have only been here for 5 minutes, and you're already starting trouble." Douglass chided as Alix pouted and crossed her arms.
"I didn't start anything! She was the one who insulted me!"
"She may have insulted you, but you didn't have to start a fight. You could've easily ignored her and walked away, but nooooooooo. You just had to fight her."
"Oh, so you're saying that I shouldn't defend myself? That I should just let her walk all over me as your sister does with Chloe?" Alix asked with a snarky tone as Douglass gave her a mild glare.
"First of all, don't mention that bitch's name. Second, I'm not saying that you shouldn't defend yourself, but it doesn't mean that you should start a fight just because you want to fight her. Not everything needs to be solved with violence."
"Since when?" Alix asked innocently as Douglass facepalms.
"And now, because of you, we have to go to the principle office." He says as Alix raises an eyebrow.
"What do you mean 'we'? I was the one who got sent to the principle office. Why are you even following me anyway? You're going to miss class." Alix says with a worried tone as Douglass waves off her concerns.
"Don't worry, Duncan is covering for us. And, besides, someone needs to stay behind and make sure you don't get into any more trouble. I can't have my best friend expelled from school on the first day, now can't I?" He says with a smile as Alix stared at him in surprise before blushing as she looks away.
"W-Well, thank you, I guess." She says quietly as they walked upstairs, and saw a giant 13-year-old kid standing in front of the principal office while angrily clutching his right hand. The 13-year-old has a large and bulky build with gray eyes, short black hair, except for a tuft of long, dyed blonde hair above his forehead. He wears a black t-shirt with a white design of two crossing bones printed on the chest, black slacks with large belt loops, and large pockets, along with white socks and khaki-colored work boots. His name is Ivan Bruel.
"Oh, hey, it's Ivan. I wonder what he's doing at the principle office?" Douglass asked curiously as a black butterfly flew above them.
"Don't know." Alix says with a shrug. "Ivan's a sweet guy, but has some serious anger issues." She says as Douglass grins.
"Sounds like someone, I know."
"Oh, so you're saying that I look like a man?"
"Well..." He says playfully as Alix gasps and punches his arm playfully.
"Shut up!" She says as they laughed. Their laughter was cut short as the butterfly flies into the rugged paper in Ivan's hands and infects it as Ivan suddenly stood up straight, and a purple butterfly symbol appeared in front of his face as he glared.
"Stoneheart, I am Hawkmoth. I give you the power to seek revenge on those who have wronged you." Hawkmoth says in Ivan's brain as the bulky teen smirked.
"Is he okay? He has just been standing there, staring at nothing for a full minute." Alix says as Douglass shrugs.
"Don't know. Let's see." He says as he walks over to Ivan. "Um, hey, Ivan. Are you feeling okay, buddy?" Douglas asked.
"Okay, Hawkmoth," Ivan suddenly says as Douglass took a few steps back and watched in shock as Ivan's body glowed with dark energy, and soon enough, Ivan had transformed into a big muscular gray rock golem with glowing green eyes.
"Kim!" The rock monster roars as Douglass gulps in fear at the sight of him.
"I think that's a no then."
"Douglass, look out!" Alix screams as she grabbed his hand and pulled him away just as Ivan ran past them.
"What just happened?!"
"Don't know, don't care! What is important is that we get the hell out of here!" Alix says as she started to run, but was stopped by Douglass.
"Alix! Wait! Look!" Douglass says while pointing the front gates as they could see Master Fu standing there with a calm expression, seemingly not noticing the giant rock monster heading his way. "That confused old man is about to get trampled by Ivan! We got to help him!" He says while running off as Alix groans.
"And, he calls me reckless? Wait up!" Alix shouted as she chases after her friend.
"Who was the first president of the 5th French Republic?"
"Everyone thinks it was de Gaulle, but it was actually René Coty before the first elections."
"Excellent, Adrien," Nathalie says with a proud look on her face as Adrien sighs in boredom.
After getting caught by Natalie, Adrien has been forced to go back into his house as he resumed his homeschooling with his father's assistant. While Nathalie was busy looking for the next question, Adrien looked out the window and wondered how life would be like in the real world, going to a real school and hanging out with real friends and not just his dad's coworkers, but sadly that dream would have to remain a fantasy, as long as his dad had anything to say about it.
"Give me a minute, would you, Nathalie?" A man says while walking into the room as Nathalie nodded. A feeling of dread hits Adrien's body like a tidal wave as the young man slowly looks up to his father, who gave his son a stern look as Adrien flinches and looks down. Adrien's father is a tall man with combed-back light blond hair, blue eyes, and wears black-framed silver glasses. His outfit is consists of a white dress shirt underneath a silver vest with red buttons and a cream-colored dress jacket, along with a red-and-white striped tie, red dress pants, and white shoes. On his middle finger was a silver band ring. His name is Gabriel Agreste.
"You are NOT going to school. I already told you."
"Bu father-"
"Everything you need is right here where I can keep an eye on you. I will not have you outside in that dangerous world."
"It's not dangerous, Father! I'm always stuck in here by myself. Why can't I go to school and make friends just like everyone else?"
"Because you are not like everyone else! You are my son!"
"Well, maybe I don't want to be your son!" That's what Adrien wanted to say, but the young teen kept his mouth shut as he knew talking with his father isn't going to work...it never does.
"Continue." With nothing left to say, Gabriel left the room. Nathalie gave a concerned look to Adrien as he was shaking, and tears leaked down his face.
"We can leave it there for today if you have-" She didn't have time to finish her sentence as Adrien runs to his room and locks it as he cries on his bed. Back at school, we see Marinette reading at the library as she remembered her passed morning. So far, things weren't exactly going in her favor as she lost all of her dad's macaron's saving that old man from being run over by a car, and having her seat stolen by Chloe didn't exactly make things better.
Luckily things weren't all bad as she managed to make a new friend with a girl named Alya. She seemed nice, albeit she does have a rather odd obsession with superheroes, but she wasn't so bad. Marinette thought to herself just as the ground shook, sending her and Alya to the floor. The girls quickly got back up as they rushed over to the security cameras to see what was going on, and to their surprise, they saw a giant rock golem smashing everything in its sight.
"Kim!" The rock monster screams.
"What's going? He had Ivan's voice." Marinette says, clearly confused from the situation as Alya's face brightens.
"It's as if he's been transformed into a real-life supervillain! How cool is that?" Alya says as Marinette gave her a bewildered look. Alya is a 13-year-old Martinique Creole-French girl with hazel colored eyes and a beauty mark above her right eyebrow. Her hair wavy and reddish-brown ombré, growing slightly past her shoulders and having light copper-red tips. She wears black-rimmed glasses, with a white spot on each side. Her outfit consists of a white tank top underneath a short-sleeved plaid shirt with white, orange, and purple stripes; light blue jeans, and white sneakers.
"Hey, look! A couple of crazy kids are going to fight that monster!" A teen says as Marinette turned her head to the security camera, and her face paled as she saw her little brother and Alix running towards the monster.
"Huh? I wonder who they are." Alya says.
"THAT'S MY LITTLE BROTHER AND HIS GIRLFRIEND!" Marinette screams in terror as she took off.
"Oh, no. Where am I? I'm just a confused old man, and I have no idea what's going on." Master Fu says with an overdramatic tone as Stoneheart reaches him, and was about to stomp him when suddenly Douglass and Alix came in as they tackled the old man to the ground and shielded him from the villain's wrath. Stoneheart walks right past them, not caring about anything, except getting revenge on Kim.
"Hey, are you okay, sir?" Douglass asked as he and Alix helped the man stand up
"Did we push you too hard?" Alix asked worriedly as Master Fu smiled.
"Don't worry, young ones. I'm alright." He says as they sighed in relief. "I'm sorry that you have to risk your life's to save me. As an old man, I tend to get lost in my own little world from time to time."
"It's alright. Just be more aware of your surroundings." Douglass says as Master Fu nodded.
"DOUGLASS!" Marinette screams as she ran out of the school with Alya following close behind. Douglass didn't have time to react as Marinette grabs him and hugs him tightly against her chest. "I'm so glad you're okay! How are you feeling? Did Ivan hurt you? Do you have any broken bones?" She asked rapidly, not noticing her brother's face turning blue as he struggled to breathe.
"He will if you don't stop hugging him like that!" Alix shouted worriedly as Marinette blinks and noticed what she was doing as she lets him go.
"Oh, sorry, sorry!" The older Dupain-Cheng sibling apologized as Douglass panted, but caught his breath as he gave his sister a thumbs up.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Douglass says reassuringly as Marinette smiles before glaring at him as she pulled on his ear.
"Douglass Dupain-Cheng! How could you do something so stupid and reckless?! You could've been killed!" She screams as Douglass winces from both the ear pulling and her yelling.
"I'm sorry, but that man would've been crushed if Alix and I haven't reached him in time!" Douglass says while pointing at Master Fu, who was remaining silent throughout the whole conversation as he walked up to Marinette and gave her an apologetic look.
"Apologies, young one. I didn't mean to put your brother's life in danger. It was all my fault." He says while bowing his head as Marinette's face softens.
"It's okay, sir. It wasn't your fault, Douglass is always doing stuff like this from time to time." She says as Master Fu gave Douglass an intrigued look.
"Really? You don't say." He says as Douglass nodded.
"Yep, ever since I was a little kid, I always liked helping people. So, when I grow up, I plan to become a police officer." Douglass says as Master Fu nodded and turned to Alix. "And what about you?" He asked as Alix shrugs.
"Just like Douglass says, I couldn't let anything happen to you. Besides, someone had to keep an eye for him just in case he gets into trouble." She says while placing her arm over his shoulder casually as he gave her an annoyed look.
"Hey, that's my line!" He says as she laughed.
"Well, It has been nice knowing all of you, and thank you, kids, again for saving me. Farewell." Master Fu says as he walked away, but not before discreetly placing two Miraculous Boxes on Douglass and Alix's backpack.
"Well, today sure was exciting, and since school is canceled, I'm thinking of going home and-" Douglass didn't get to finish his sentence as his sister grabbed him by his collar.
"Oh, no, you don't! You're still in trouble, young man! Just wait until mom and dad hear about this!" Marinette says before turning to Alya. "It's been nice knowing you, Alya, but I have to go home and punish my little brother." She says as Alya nodded.
"It's fine. Besides, I have to get coverage on that supervillain. See you tomorrow!" Alya says before running off to chase after Stoneheart.
"Yeah, I'm going to bounce too. See you later, Douglass." Alix says as she was about to walk away, but was stopped by Marinette.
"No, you don't, young lady! You're getting punished as well!"
"Why am I getting punished?! I'm not even part of the family!" Alix whines as Marinette drags them towards Tom and Sabine's bakery.
"Not yet," Marinette says with a smirk as the preteens grumbled.
Soft sobs could be heard from the inside of Adrien's room as a loud rumbling sound caught the boy's attention, and he went to investigate. Wiping his tears away, Adrien looked out the window and was surprised to see a giant rock monster barreling past the police like a raging rhino! Quickly rushing back into his room, Adrien turned on the TV, which showed an image of Stoneheart ramping throughout the city.
"As incredible as it seems, it's been confirmed that Paris is indeed being attacked by a supervillain! The police have been struggling to keep the situation under control. Is there anyone that can save us from this catastrophe?" A news reporter says as Adrien looks troubled.
"This is not good," Adrien says just as the Miraculous Box fell out of his backpack and landed in front of him as he glanced at it curiously. "Huh, what's this doing here?" Adrien says as he grabbed the box and opened it. We then cut back at Tom and Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie, where we see Douglass and Alix sitting on Marinette's bed as they waited for their punishment.
"You know, I just realized something. This is the first time that we got in trouble because of you." Alix says with a smirk as Douglass rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, I got us in trouble because we saved a man's life from a rock monster, while you got us in trouble for scratching Katherine's eyes out."
"Touché." She says just as the Miraculous Box fell out of her backpack and landed near her feet. "Hmmm? What's that?" Alix says while grabbing the small box as she stared at it quizzically.
"Don't know. It looks like a jewelry box." Douglass says as he leans against his backpack, and the Miraculous Box fell out. "What the? Hey, I have one too!" Douglass says as he grabbed the box.
"Okay, this is getting weird. We both have the same box, and we don't know where it came from." Alix says as she stares at her box curiously. "Should we open it?"
"I don't know. What if there's something dangerous inside?" Douglass asked nervously as Alix placed her hand over his.
"How about we open our boxes together, and if its something bad, then we'll tell Marinette, and she'll tell us what to do. Deal?" She says as Douglass blushes from the hand-holding, but nodded.
"I really hate the first day of school," Marinette says while watching the news nervously as she looks down and saw the Miraculous Box. "Huh? What's this doing here?" Marinette says as she grabbed the box and opened it as her brother and Alix did the same, and they all yelped in surprise as 3 bright glows illuminated the whole room, and Douglass leaped over to Alix's side to protect her instinctively as the glow subdued, and we see 3 small creatures floating in the air.
The first creature resembles a white wolf as he is 4 inches tall with blue eyes, pointy white ears, and small fangs. He has a tiny body with a large head, white fur, and a long bushy tail. His name is Lupus, the Kwami of Sound.
The second creature resembles a bunny as she is 4 inches tall with blue eyes, long white ears with rounded tips with light blue inner ears, two top front teeth with a gap in between them, and two whiskers on her cheeks. She has a tiny white body, neck, a pair of white arms and legs, a white round head, and a fluffy rounded tail. Her name is Fluff, the Kwami of Time.
The third creature resembles a ladybug as she is 4 inches tall with a large head and tiny body. She has dark blue eyes, light freckles on her cheeks, two antennas, a short tail with three tips aligned vertically, and a large black spot on her forehead, back, and each side of her head. Her name is Tiki, the Kwami of Creation.
"Whoa," Alix says in amazement, not believing what she was seeing as the Kwami's smiled warmly at the shocked teens.
"Back off!" Douglass says as he rummages through his backpack and pulls out a stapler as he points it at the Kwami's threateningly. "I have a stapler, and I'm not afraid to use it!" He shouted as the floating creatures look more amused, then threaten by his statement.
"Ahh! Help! It's a giant bug! A...a mouse? A...a bug-mouse!" Marinette says as she looks over at her brother and screams. "Aah! There are more of them!" Marinette shouted panickily as she ran over to her brother and Alix, and stood in front of them as she grabbed her pillow. "Guys, run! I'll hold them off!" She says while waving her pillow around as Tiki flew in front of her and smiled at her patiently.
"Everything's okay! You don't have to be scared!"
"Aah! Bug mouse talks!"
"I think you're making things worse, red." Lupus says as Tiki gave him an annoyed look.
"I don't see you helping!" She says as Fluff zips around the room excitedly.
"Whoa, where am I? What time is it? Am I back in the dinosaur era again? I hate that place. I'm so glad Plagg killed them all. Speaking off, where is he? If Tiki is here, he's not that far off, and I have a score to settle with him. Oh, hello. Who are you? What's your name?" Fluff asked while grabbing various items from Marinette and Douglass's shared room before stopping as she levitated in front of Alix's face.
"Uh, Alix." The girl answered awkwardly as Fluff beams.
"Hi, Alix! My name is Fluff! Nice to meet you." She says as Lupus rubs his temples.
"Fluff, please calm down. You're scaring the kids." He says while pointing at Marinette, who was crushing Douglass in a tight hug in fear.
"Can someone please tell us what's going on here? And can you please let me go so I can breathe?" Douglass asked his sister in annoyance as Marinette blushes in embarrassment and lets him go.
"Sorry."
[With Adrien]
What the!?" Adrien exclaims as he covered his eyes from the bright glow, and a tiny cat-like creature appeared. The creature resembles a black cat as he is 4 inches tall with green eyes, small ears, two cat incisors, a long tail, and three blue whiskers on his forehead and cheeks. His name is Plagg, the Kwami of Destruction.
"No way...like the genie of the lamp!" Adrien exclaimed excitedly as Plagg rolled his eyes.
"I met him once. So he grants wishes? Big deal! I'm way more personable! Hi, I'm Plagg. Nice to meet you." Plagg says as he stared at his new environment with a cat-like fascination. "Ooh, swanky..." He says while flying over to the foosball table.
"No! Don't touch that!" Adrien says while trying to grab him, but Plagg easily avoided him and flew upstairs. "Come back here!"
"Ohh! So shiny!" Plagg says while staring at one of Adrien's arcade machines. "Can you eat this?" The small feline asked as he licks it, and pulled back in disgust. "No, you can't. Ooh, what about this?" Plagg asked as he flew off, and Adrien chases after him.
[Back with Marinette, Douglass, and Alix]
"Who are you? What are you?" Marinette asked, feeling a little less scared as Tiki flew in front of her.
"Listen, Kids. I know this may seem strange for you, so let me explain. My name is Tiki, and I'm a Kwami." Tiki says with her usual happy smile.
"My name is Lupus, and I'm a Kwami as well." Lupus says lazily as Fluff pops in.
"My name is Fluff, and I am also a Kwami!" FLuff cheerfully says as Marinette and the others blinked slowly at their introductions.
"Uh, okay, hello. What do you want?"
"Each of you has been chosen to bear the power of the Miraculous. Marinette Dupain-Cheng, you have been chosen to wear the Earrings of the Ladybug, which grants you the power of Creation." Tiki says while handing her a pair of black earrings.
"Douglass Dupain-Cheng, you have been chosen to wear the Amulet of the White Wolf, which grants you the power of Sonic Howling." Lupus says while handing him a black amulet with a large "W" engraved on it, and it's held together by a gold chain.
"Alix Kubdel, you have been chosen to have the Pocket Watch of the Rabbitt, which grants you the power of Time," Fluff says as she gives Alix a silver pocket watch with a circular pattern engraved on the cover.
"Whoa, wicked," Alix says while grabbing the pocket watch as she inspects it.
"So, wait. Are you telling me that if I wear this, I will get superpowers?" Douglass asked excitedly as Lupus nodded.
"Yep!" Lupus says with a playful smirk as he zips around him. "All you have to do is put on the amulet and say, Lupus! Howl On!, when you want to transform and, Lupus! Howl Out!, when you want to de-transform." Lupus explains as Douglass beams.
"Cool! So you mention something about my power being Sonic Howling?"
"Yes. To activate your power, just say, Lunar Blessing!, and you will be able to send out a sonic roar that could level cities! But be careful because once you use it, you will change back in 10 minutes." Lupus warns as Douglass nodded.
"Sonic screaming? That's so badass! What's my power?" Alix asked Fluff, who smiled at her.
"You'll get the power to create portals in time. You can go forward and backward in time for up to 30 seconds. To summon your power, just say, Burrow!."
"Wicked." Alix says with a grin as Fluff suddenly grew serious and looks her dead in the eye.
"But be warned because messing with time can be a serious thing, and once you use it, you will be forced to change back in 10 minutes. So only use it when it's absolutely necessary." She says as Alix stared at her wide-eyed before nodding. "Good. To activate your power, just say, Fluff! Clockwise!, to change back, just say, Fluff! Counter Clockwise!."
"Got it."
[Back with Adrien]
"I got you!" Adrien says as he finally managed to catch Plagg and stared at him confusedly. "I still don't know what you're doing here." He says as Plagg sighs.
"Look, I'm a Kwami. With the help of you're Miraculous, which is your ring by the way, I can grant you superpowers. Yours is the power of Destruction, got it?" Plagg asked as all he got was a confused shrug. "Good. Now, you got anything to eat? I'm starving."
"My dad's pranking me, right? Wait, he couldn't be. He has no sense of humor." Adrien says as Plagg gasped, and flies out of his hands.
"Your father must never know that I exist! Or anyone for that matter."
[Back with Marinette, Douglass, and Alix]
"Wait, wait, wait, this is going a little bit too fast! I can't be a superhero, and neither can they! We're just children!" Marinette shouted as Tiki shakes her head.
"Like, I said before, Marinette, you have all been chosen to become guardians of Paris. Whether your young or not, it doesn't matter because Paris needs you guys." Tiki says as Marinette groans, but reluctantly put on her earrings.
"Fine. What do I have to do?"
[Back with Adrien]
"But I'm stuck here! What good is a superhero who's imprisoned in his own house!" Adrien says as Plagg landed on his shoulder.
"No good. That's why it's all going to change soon. If you're willing to change, that is." Plagg says as Adrien stares at his ring, and with a newfound determination, he had made his decision.
[Back with Marinette, Douglass, and Alix]
"As the Ladybug, it's your job to break the object that the Akumatized victim holds most dear, and capture the Akuma," Tiki explains to Marinette as Douglass and Alix walked over to them with their Kwami's flying behind them.
"Does the Akuma happen to look like a black butterfly by any chance?" Douglass asked as Tiki gave him a surprised look.
"Uh, well, yes. But how did you know that?"
"Alix and I saw a butterfly fly into a piece of crumpled paper that Ivan was holding before he turned into that monster."
"Yeah, it was really weird," Alix says as a lightbulb appeared above Marinette's head.
"That's must be where the Akuma is!" She deduced as Tiki beams and nodded.
"See you're getting the hang of this already, and you haven't even transformed yet!"
"Uh, right. Anyway, what's my superpower?" Marinette asked as she was still apprehensive about becoming a superhero and dragging her brother, and Alix into this, but she is not going to lie and say that she isn't getting quite excited about this.
"By saying, Lucky Charm!, you will have the power to create an object that will help you in battle. And, when you say, Miraculous Ladybug!, and throw the object in the air, you will have the power to send a swarm of ladybugs that fixes all of the mess that the Akumatized villain had caused."
"Or you, depending on how destructive you are in battle." Lupus says with a grin as Tiki glares at him.
"You shush!" She hisses before turning to Marinette. "And, you also have the power the capture the Akuma, and purify it."
"Hey, why does she have more powers than us?" Alix asked, annoyed as Tiki smiles weakly.
"Well, technically, she only has one superpower. The Lucky Charm and Miraculous Ladybug are two powers in one. And capturing the Akuma is not really a superpower, it's more like a job she has to do." Tiki explains to Alix before turning to Marinette. "You must use this power wisely because once you use it-"
"I will change back in 10 minutes?" Marinette asked rhetorically as Tiki nodded with a smile.
"You're learning fast! Now to transform, just say, Tiki! Spots On!, and to change back, just say, Tiki! Spots Off!."
"Spots On?" Marinette asked as Tiki flew into one of her earrings and activated it. "Whoa! What's going on?!" She screams as a red/black glow covered her body, and soon enough, she had transformed!
Marinette was now wearing a red skintight bodysuit covered in black spots and with a black collar/turtleneck. She also wears a red mask with 5 black spots in an asymmetrical design, and the waterlines of her eyes are colored black. Her earrings are red with 5 black spots in a quincunx pattern, and her hair is tied up by red ribbons, and she has a red yo-yo that was wrapped around her waist by a red string.
"Whoa, sis. Nice costume." Douglass says as Marinette checks herself in the mirror, and noticed that her hair has become a slightly darker shade of blue. "Ok, now it's my turn, I guess."
"What? Wait!"
"Lupus! Howl On!"
"This is going to be fun!" Lupus says as he flew into his amulet and activate it. Douglass laughs as a blue glow covered his body, and soon enough, he had transformed!
Douglass was now wearing a white skintight bodysuit with a blue mask that covers half his face, matching blue gloves with claws in his fingertips, and blue combat boots. He also has wolf-like yellow eyes, fake wolf ears that are attached to his head, snow-white hair, small fangs, and a real, long white bushy tail. His amulet was now blue with a large paw print engraved on it, and it's held together by a white chain. His transformation sequence is a mix between Adrien's and Alya's.
"Wow! This is so awesome!" Douglass says before freezing as he felt something move behind him. "Wait a minute. Is this a tail? Why do I have a tail? And what happened to my hair?" He asked while staring himself in the mirror as he touched his tail and inspected his hair.
"Don't know, but you look cute with white hair, and the tail is not bad either." Alix says while giving him a wink as he blushed. "Fluff! Clockwise!" Alix says as Fluff flew into her pocket watch, and a white glow covered Alix's body as she transformed!
Alix was now wearing a baby blue/white skintight bodysuit that has a black turtleneck with a white cotton ball attached. She was wearing a mask that is blue at the top and white at the bottom, and it has small sapphire-colored circles at the corners, and fake white rabbit ears, which have a black lining and are baby blue on the insides. She also had pockets on her stomach to keep her Miraculous in. Speaking of which, her Miraculous is now blue with a white design in the center with 5 black circles, and on top, it has a blue cone. And finally attached to her back was a white umbrella that is baby blue on the inside and has a white handle. Her transformation sequence is the same as her future self.
"Wicked! Check me out, Douglass! I look great! Although the bunny ears do look kind of ridiculous, though." Alix muses while inspecting herself in the mirror, not noticing Douglass staring at her with a large blush on his face. Seeing this Marinette, smacked him in the back of his head as she glares at him sternly.
"Don't stare at her like that!" Marinette whispered angrily to her little brother as Douglass grins nervously.
"We have breaking news! It seems that Stoneheart is heading towards the Montparnasse Tower, and the police are helpless to stop him! The monster seems to be unstoppable!" The transformed teens looked over at the TV in shock as they watched Stoneheart charging through the police with ease, and even managed to break someone's arm! What was even worse was that they saw Alya following the monster on her bike.
"Alya?"
"Seems like your new friend has a death wish, why is she chasing after Ivan anyway?" Alix asked as Marinette sighs exhaustedly.
"She has a thing for superheroes and supervillains."
"We can't just stand here and do nothing, we need to help her," Douglass says as the girls nodded.
[Back with Adrien]
"...And, say, Plagg! Claws out!, And that's how you transform." Plagg explains as Adrien nodded.
"Got it. Plagg! Claws Out!"
"No, wait! I haven't finished explaining!" Plagg shouted worriedly before being sucked into his Miraculous as Adrien transformed!
Adrien was now wearing a textured black skintight bodysuit with a golden bell around his neck that is connected to a zipper. He wears a black mask, matching black gloves that have claws on his fingertips, a long belt that is wrapped around his waist and acts like a tail, and black combat boots. Adrien also has cat-like green eyes, long untamed blonde hair that covers his ears, fake black cat ears that are attached to his head, and a black ring with a green paw print on its face.
"Cool," Adrien says as he checked himself in the mirror, before glancing at an opened window as a smirk appeared on his face.
"Ok, so how do we get there? I'm pretty sure they won't let 3 costumed kids on the bus." Douglass says as he and the others were standing on the Dupain-Cheng's balcony.
"Well, we have special powers, and, apparently, I have this amazing super yo-yo thingy?" Marinette grabs her yo-yo as she twirled it around and throws it at a gargoyle. Experimenting, Marinette pulls the yo-yo, and it whisks her away to the other side as she screamed the whole way.
"Sis!" Douglass yelled, worried for his sister as Alix narrowed her eyes in determination.
"Let's go after her!" Alix says as she bends down and leaps 30 feet into the air! "Whoo! This is awesome!" She yells as she landed on the other side of the building and continued jumping. Following her lead, Douglass crouches down as he leaped in the air and landed on a roof of a building. Douglass noted that he didn't jump as high as Alix, but he seems to be agile enough to travel by himself.
"I think I'm getting the hang of this," Adrien says while using his new weapon, a staff, to act as a tightrope between two buildings.
"Look out!" A female voice ran out as Adrien looks up, and yelps as Marinette falls into his arms and accidentally got tied up by her yo-yo.
"Well, hey there. Nice of you to drop in." He says with a smirk as Marinette blushes in embarrassment.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." She says as Douglass, and Alix appeared.
"Don't worry, sis! We're here to-" Douglass says before stopping in his tracks as he saw the predicament that his sister was stuck in. "What's going on here?"
"Do we need to give you guys some privacy?" Alix asked teasingly as both teens blushed.
"I-It isn't what it looks like! This was an accident!" Marinette says as Douglass helped free them.
"Girl, I know, I was just teasing you." She says as Marinette glares at her.
"I bet your my partners that my Kwami told about. My name is Chat Noir. And you?"
"The name's Bunnix," Alix says with a confident smirk on her face.
"Pleasure to meet you." He says before turning to Marinette, who was busy trying to free her yo-yo from Chat Noir staff. "And you are?"
"Me? I'm Ma-" She says before wincing as she pulls the yo-yo, and it hits Chat Noir, causing Bunnix to laugh. "Madly Clumsy. I'm so clumsy." She says as Chat Noir rubs his head.
"No sweat, clumsy girl. I'm learning the ropes too." He said, not really angry at being hit with her yo-yo as Douglass decided to introduce himself.
"Hi, my name is White Loup. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, kitty." He says while shaking his hand.
"Likewise, bushy tail." Chat Noir says as the ground shook, and a building was destroyed.
"Oh, yeah. There's a bad guy around, kind of forgot about that." Bunnix says as she and Chat Noir started running.
"Hey! Where are you guys going?" Marinette screams as Chat Noir uses his staff to reach the top of the building, while Bunnix simply jumps over it.
"To save Paris, right." Chat Noir says as they disappeared.
"Well, they're gone. Come on, Mari. We should go after them and make sure they don't get hurt." He says as Marinette sighs, but reluctantly pulls out her yo-yo as she grabbed her brother and swung away. We cue to Parc des Princes, where we see Kim and his classmates finishing P.E., but then Stoneheart shows up as he landed behind them and roared.
"Kim!" Stoneheart screams as everyone ran to safety, except for Kim, who was paralyzed with fear. Stoneheart grins as he reached out to grab him when suddenly Bunnix showed up as she grabbed Kim and jumps off. Stoneheart growls as he tried to chase after them, but a long metal staff stops him in his tracks.
"Hey! It's not very nice to pick on people who are smaller than you!" Chat Noir says while landed in front of Ivan, who glared at him.
"I guess you're talking about yourself," Stoneheart says as he tries to smash the small feline, but Chat Noir easily avoided his attacks.
"Everything's going to plan. Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous have been activated. And, it seems that the Rabbitt Miraculous has been activated as well. I don't really need her Miraculous, but you can never have enough. Stoneheart, grab her Miraculous as well! It's the pocket watch on her front pocket!" Hawkmoth says to Ivan, who nodded as he went past Chat Noir and headed straight towards Bunnix.
"There, you're safe now. No need to thank me, I was just doing my job." Bunnix grins before frowning confusedly as Kim suddenly ran off screaming. "What's his deal?" A large shadow covered her tiny body as she looks up and saw Stoneheart glaring at her. "Oh, hello, there. You won't hit a girl, would you?" Bunnix says as Ivan rears back his fist, and she gulps. "I guess that's a no."
"Hey!" Chat Noir says as he jumps in, extending his pole, and smacks him hard enough to send Ivan to the floor. "Don't you know it is rude to gang up on a lady?" Stoneheart growls in anger as his body glowed green, and he grows bigger.
"Oh, that is so unfair!" Bunnix says as Stoneheart swats Chat Noir away and threw a punch at Alix. Bunnix prepared herself to jump when suddenly Marinette and White Loup came in as Douglass grabbed Alix, and Marinette swung them to safety.
"The White Wolf Miraculous has been activated as well? Oh, well, the more, the merrier. Stoneheart grab his Miraculous as well! It's the amulet around his neck!" Hawkmoth says as Stoneheart nodded.
"Got it, Hawkmoth."
"Oh, hello there. Nice of you to drop in." Bunnix quipped as White Loup gave her a deadpanned look.
"We became superheroes for about 5 minutes, and you already got in trouble," Douglass says exasperatedly as Alix shrugs.
"What can I say? Danger is attracted to me." Bunnix says as White Loup sighs.
"You know, sometimes I wonder how my life would've turned out if I've never met you." He says as Bunnix rolls her eyes.
"Oh, come on. You and I both know that you will be bored without me."
"True." He says as Chat Noir landed next to them.
"How about instead of flirting with each other, you help me fight against that behemoth?" He asked before running off as the teens blushed.
"R-Right, let's go, White Loup!" Bunnix says as Douglass nodded and reached over to grab his weapon...only to grab a fistful of air.
"What the? Wait a minute, I don't have a weapon!" White Loup says while searching his pockets frantically.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you get an umbrella, my sister gets a yo-yo, and that guy gets a staff, but I have nothing! How am I going to fight that thing without summoning my superpower? Sis, what do we do?" He asked Marinette, who was frozen in fear as she saw Chat Noir being overwhelmed by Stoneheart.
"I can't do this, I'm not going to be able to do it." She says while hugging herself as Stoneheart grabs a net and throws it at Alya, who was filming the whole event on the other side of the stadium as time seemed slow down and White Loup narrows his eyes in determination as he began sprinting towards Alya. Everyone watched in shock as Douglass claws extended 5 times their length, and he slashed the net apart, saving Alya as White Loup glanced down at his claws in awe.
"Whoa! My weapon is my claws?" Douglass says while staring at his claws as Alya stares at him in shock.
"Wicked!" Alix says as she ran towards him and grabs her umbrella. "Run along, miss. We don't want you caught in the crossfire again." She says as Alya nodded and ran to safety. "How about you use your new claws, and let's tag team this guy!" She says as Douglass smirked.
"Don't mind if I do!" White Loup says as he ran towards Ivan on all fours and slashes him...only for Ivan to grow even bigger as Alix winced.
"Oh, did I forget to mention that every time you hit Stoneheart, he gets bigger?"
"THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN VALUABLE INFORMATION TO KNOW EARLIER!" He yells as Stoneheart lifts his foot to stomp him, but Bunnix saves him as she blocks his attack with her umbrella.
"Yeah, sorry about that." She says as Chat Noir ran between Ivan's legs and used his staff to trip him.
"Uh, clumsy girl? I little help here!" Chat Noir screams as he runs into battle again.
At first, Marinette was unsure about fighting against that giant rock creature, but after watching her little brother, Alix, and that Chat Noir guy fight against Stoneheart with so much bravery in their hearts, it inspired her to take action! Chat Noir groans in pain as Stoneheart managed to grab him and was squeezing the life out of him. Luckily, Marinette came in as she wrapped her yo-yo around Ivan's legs and pulled, causing Stoneheart to fall down as he lets go of Chat Noir.
"Animal cruelty? How shameful!" Marinette says as everyone regrouped.
"Nice quip, sis." White Loup says as Chat Noir gave him and Marinette a surprised look.
"You two are brother and sister?" He asked as Marinette glares at Douglass.
"White Loup! Secret identities, remember?" She hisses as White Loup rolled his eyes.
"Oh, yeah, because we're the only siblings in all of Paris." He says sarcastically.
"Enough, chit-chatting! It's time to fight!" Bunnix says while gripping her umbrella tightly as Chat Noir smirked.
"Couldn't agree more!" He says as they started running, but were pulled back by Marinette and White Loup.
"Easy there, guys. Don't you remember that fighting won't work against that guy?" Douglass asked as Marinette nodded.
"White Loup is right. We need to come up with a different strategy."
"Like what?" Chat Noir asked as Marinette deflated.
"Uhhh...I don't know."
"What if we use our superpowers?" White Loup suggested as Chat Noir grins.
"Good idea, bushy tail. Cataclysm!" He yells as his ring finger was now fused with destructive energy.
"Ooh, trippy. What does it do?" Alix asked.
"Apparently, I can destroy anything I touch."
"Awesome!" The pre-teens say as Marinette scoffs.
"I don't need a superpower to destroy anything." She says as Chat Noir stares at his hand curiously, before eyeing the destroyed net as he touched it. "No, don't do that!"
"What are you doing?! Why waste your power like that?" White Loup asked, but Chat Noir didn't hear him as he was too busy staring at the disintegrated net in shock/amazement.
"Cool! It's just you and me now! Time to rumble, soon-to-be rumble!" Chat Noir then charges at Ivan, ignoring his teammate's protest.
"I should be annoyed by him, but that was a good pun." White Loup says.
"What if his powers work differently then ours? Maybe, he can use it how many times he wants." Alix says as Chat Noir leaps towards Stoneheart and landed on his leg.
"Cataclysm!" The feline hero yells as he waited for the villain to turn to dust...but nothing happened.
"Or maybe not." White Loup says.
"Uh-oh. I guess I get only one shot to use my superpower." Chat Noir says as Stoneheart throws him off, and he landed next to his team.
"And, now you only got 10 minutes left before you change back. Didn't your Kwami explain anything to you?" Marinette asked sternly as Chat Noir rubs his head sheepishly.
"I guess I was too excited about my new life." He says as White Loup facepalms.
"Eh, it's okay. I would've done the same thing too." Bunnix says.
"And, that's why I have to look after you, and apparently him as well." White Loup as Chat Noir scoffs.
"I don't need a babysitter. Besides it's obvious that I'm a lot older than both of you, so it should be me who is in charge of you."
"Yeah, like I'm going to listen to a guy who wears a bell around his neck without feeling embarrassed whatsoever," Douglass says while jiggling his bell as Chat Noir gave him an annoyed look. Alix giggles in the background.
"Guys, please. I need to focus!" Marinette says as the group stopped arguing. "Besides, I think it's my turn to use my superpower. Lucky Charm!" She yells as she throws her yo-yo in the air, and a swarm of ladybugs appeared as they created...
"A wrench? What am I supposed to do with this?" Marinette says as she grabbed the ladybug colored wrench.
"Remember what Tiki said. She said that your lucky charm can summon an object that will help you in battle. Maybe you need to figure out a way to use it." White Loup says as Marinette nodded understandingly.
"And you better do it fast because here comes Stoneheart!" Bunnix says while pointing at the rock monster, who was slowly making his way towards them. Marinette hums as she looks around the stadium, and her lucky vision highlighted Chat Noir, Bunnix, the big wrench, the water valve, and finally, her brother.
"I have an idea! Bunnix, use your superpower to reach that valve over there in exactly 15 seconds, and open it with this." She says while handing her the wrench as Bunnix nodded.
"On it! Burrow!" Alix yells as she summons a time portal and jumps through it.
"Quick, we don't have a lot of time!" Marinette says as she wraps up Chat Noir with her yo-yo. "Don't resist. Trust me!" The feline superhero didn't have time to react as she throws him towards Stoneheart.
"This girl is crazy!" He screams as Stoneheart grabs him.
"Okay, White Loup, use your Lunar Blessing on Stoneheart, but aim it toward the ground." Douglass nodded, trusting his big sister, as Marinette grabbed him by his shoulders and turns him over to Stoneheart. "Wait for it...wait for it..." She says as a time portal appeared beside the water valve, and Bunnix jumps out. Not wasting time, Alix opened the water valve with her wrench, and water gushed out. "Now!"
"Lunar Blessing!" Douglass yells as he took a deep breath and roared.
Everyone, minus Stoneheart since he doesn't have ears, covered their ears in pain as giant white soundwaves came out of Douglass's mouth, and the sheer power of his yell broke apart the ground and caused the pipes below to burst open as Stoneheart was sprayed with high pressurized water. Stoneheart roars in discomfort as he covered his face and accidentally drops the crumpled paper that was in his clenched hand. Seeing this, White Loup stopped screaming as he races after the akumatized object, and slashed it apart as the Akuma flew away.
"And, that's lady and gentleman is how you save the day." White Loup says as Ivan lets go of Chat Noir and turned back to normal.
"This girl is awesome. She's crazy awesome!" Chat Noir says in awe as everyone regrouped.
"Nice plan, wonder bug. You really saved the day." Bunnix says.
"Couldn't have said better myself. You were awesome out there, sis!" White Loup says as Marinette blushes at the praises.
"You were incredible out there, miss. You did it!" Chat Noir says as Marinette shakes her head.
"No, we all did it. As a team."
"Pound it!" The teens yell as they shared a fist pump, and their Miraculous beeps, signaling that they only 8 minutes left before they change back.
"We should get going. Our identities must remain a secret." Marinette says as Chat Noir bows.
"Farewell, my lady. And, see you later, carrottop. You too, bushy tail." He says with a grin as everyone rolled their eyes at his nicknames. "Let's do this again sometime!" He screams as he runs out of the stadium.
"Not too soon, I hope." Marinette mumbles.
"Agreed." White Loup says as Alix shrugs.
"I don't know about that, he seems fun." She says as Douglass rolls his eyes.
"Only because he's the male version of you, except even more reckless." He says as Alix gives him a sly look.
"Aw, don't be jealous, my little wolf. You know, I only have eyes for you." She says while batting her eyes as Douglass blushed.
"What!?" He yells as Bunnix laughs.
"Just kidding! You should've seen your face! It's so red!" She says, before laughing even more as Douglass glares at her.
"That's enough, kids," Marinette says with an amused smile on her face as she walks over to Ivan. "Hey, are you okay?" Ivan says nothing as Marinette spotted a piece of paper on the ground and picks it up as she reads it. "You don't even have the guts to tell Myléne you lover her, wuss."
"Aw, poor guy. Why would Kim-I mean that kid do that to you?" Alix asked as Ivan looks away with a glare.
"Kim wrote it. He's always making fun of me." He says as Marinette placed her hand on his shoulder.
"You know, you shouldn't get so bent out of shape about that."
"Yeah, man. I'm pretty sure this Kim guy was just playing around, but even if he wasn't, you shouldn't let him get into your head like that." White Loup says as Marinette nodded.
"He's right. There's no shame in telling someone you love them, Ivan.
"Hey, how did you know my name, miss?" Ivan asked as Marinette panics.
"Um, well, you see-"
"We overheard a couple of your classmates yell your name earlier," Bunnix says as Ivan nodded understandingly. Marinette sighs in relief as she turns around to walk away when suddenly Alya shows up out of nowhere and points her camera in her face.
"Uncanny, amazing, spectacular! Are you gonna be protecting Paris from now on? How did you all get your powers? Oh, I've got a ton of questions to ask you, uh..."
"The name's White Loup. The guy that left is named Chat Noir, and this is Bunnix." Douglass says while pointing at Alix, who waved. "And she is called..." White Loup trails off as he didn't know what to call Marinette.
"Uh...Ladybug! Call me, Ladybug." Marinette says with a soft smile on her face as she swung her yo-yo and took off.
"Don't worry, miss. We will answer all of your questions later, but for now, we need to run. Let's go, Bunnix."
"But I wanted to have an interview." She says as her pocket watch beeped. Signaling that she only has 5 minutes left.
"Now." He stressed as Alix pouted, but nodded as she grabbed Douglass's hand and they jumped off.
"So, awesome!" Alya says as the superheroes disappeared.
"So, thanks to his amateur footage, the Parisians now know the identities of their heroes!"
"We did it, Tiki!" Marinette says as she and Douglass relaxed in their shared room with their Kwamis as they watched the news, which showed an image of them fighting against Stoneheart.
"You see! I told you that you were up to it!" Tiki says as Douglass nodded.
"I have to agree with Tiki, you were a natural out there, sis." He says as Marinette smiles.
"Thanks, bro. You weren't too bad yourself." She says while ruffling his hair.
"Oh, I can't wait for our next mission! I wonder what bad guy we'll fight next." He says as Lupus smirked.
"Won't it be cool if the next villain we fight is a giant lava monster that shoots lava out like a canon?"
"Oh, that will be so cool!" Douglass says as he and Lupus shared a fist bump.
"They seem to be getting along," Marinette says as Tiki sweatdropped.
"A little too well, now we have two Lupus's." Tiki groans.
"Kids! Dinner time!" Their mother yelled as the Dupain-Cheng siblings ran downstairs, while their Kwamis stayed behind. We then cue to the Kubdel house, where we see Alix watching the news while lying upside down on her bed.
"Hey, bro! When's dinner going to be ready?" Alix asked as her older brother came into her room. Alix's brother is a tall 17-year-old man with chin-length reddish-brown hair and dark blue eyes. He wears glasses, an orange scar, a scarab pendant, a white shirt with a golden Eye of Horus on it, a grayish-green jacket, beige jeans, and sandals. His name is Jalil Kubdel.
"Dinner is going to be ready in 5 minutes, sis."
"Good," Alix says as she glanced at the TV, and smirked as she saw herself, as Bunnix, saving Kim. "So, what do you think of the new superheroes? Pretty cool, right?" She asked as Jalil shrugs.
"They're cool, I guess. You know, I'm not really into superheroes." Jalil says as he left.
"Whatever," Alix says while rolling her eyes as she stared at the image of White Loup saving her, and blushed slightly. "You know, I never noticed how good he looks in that outfit," Alix says as Fluff appeared above her.
"Are you in love with Douglass?" She asked innocently as Alix shrieks and falls down.
"Love!? Where did that come from? We're just friends!" She says while sitting up as Fluff scoffs.
"Come on, kid. Who are you fooling? With all of the constant flirting, it's obvious that you love each other!" She says with a big smile on her face as Alix blushed even more and covered her face with her pillow.
"We're just playing around! It wasn't anything serious!" She says, her voice muffled as Fluff rolled her eyes. Meanwhile, in the Agreste Mansion, we see Adrien watching the news as he stared at the frozen picture of Ladybug with a love-struck look on his face.
"Ladybug. Her name is Ladybug." Adrien says as Plagg suddenly zips in front of him with a bowl of ice cream in his hands.
"Eww, what is this?" He asked as Adrien frowned.
"Seriously? My personal chef made that."
"If you expect me to get my energy back after the transformation, I need to eat something more...delicate!" He says as Adrien sighs.
"Okay, what do you want?" Plagg smirked as he was about to speak when suddenly the TV blared.
"We interrupt your program for breaking news!" The boys turned to the TV, not knowing that their teammates were watching as well. "Just as Paris is about to celebrate the appearance of our new superheroes, a new wave of panic is sweeping across the capital as dozens of people are mysteriously transformed into stone monsters. It's simply unbelievable." The Kubdel family stared at the TV in shock as Alix shared a look with Fluff, before scarfing down her dinner as she raced to her room. "These victims transformed into stone beings are still like statues. The police are perplexed to what will happen to them. Will they come back to life or be frozen in time forever?" Back at the bakery, we see Tom comforting his wife as Douglass shared a look with Marinette, and they both ran upstairs.
"Plagg, what's going on? I thought we defeated him?" Adrien asked.
"Fluff, why is everybody turning into Stoneheart's? I thought we beat him?" Alix asked.
"Guys, we need to talk. Why is everybody turning into rock monsters? I thought you said that if we beat the akumatized victim, everything will be back to normal." Douglass says.
"Did you capture the Akuma?" Tiki, Plagg, Lupus, and Fluff asked as the kids tilted their heads confusedly.
"What's capturing the Akuma got to do with the other stone beings?" Marinette asked.
"An Akuma can multiply, that's why it must be captured. If Ivan's emotions become negative again, then the Akuma will turn him back into Stoneheart! He'll control all the stone beings and bring them to life to serve as his army!"
"Oh, that's not good," Douglass says as Lupus scoffs.
"Overstatement of the year, kid. If we don't do anything soon, all of Paris will overrun by Stoneheart's!" He says as Marinette's eyes widen.
"So, that means...this is my fault? I knew it! See, Tiki? I'm not cut out to be a superhero! I'm only gonna keep messing up!"
"Sis, don't say that. You were awesome out there! So, you made one mistake big deal! It's not like it is the end of the world."
"Douglass is right, and besides, this was your first time, Tiki says, trying to reassure her as she saw that Marinette was starting to panic.
"Yeah, don't beat yourself up, pigtails. It wasn't your fault, it was ours. We were in so much of a rush that we didn't have time to explain everything properly."
"Yeah, so why don't I just call Alix, and we can all regroup, so we can come up with a plan. And hopefully, that Chat Noir guy will show up to help us," Douglass says while grabbing her hand, but Marinette swats his hand away.
"I can't! I told you, I'm clumsy! I create disasters all the time! I'll only make things worse for me, you guys, and everyone! White Loup, Bunnix, and Chat Noir will be better off without me!"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is I'm quitting!"
"So, I can't do anything without Ladybug?" Adrien asked as Plagg nodded.
"Only Ladybug has the power to capture the Akuma, and repair all damage caused by the supervillain," Plagg says.
"What do you mean we had to capture the Akuma? I thought we were only supposed to defeat Stoneheart!" Alix yells as Fluff landed on her bed.
"I'm afraid defeating the villain isn't enough. You also have to capture the Akuma and purify it, so it doesn't make more." She says as Alix groans, before slapping herself as she gained a determined look.
"Fine, then. Let's go out there and capture the Akuma!" Alix says as she was about to transform, but Fluff stops her.
"Again, it's not that simple. Only Ladybug can capture the Akuma."
"Are you serious?" Alix says, a little peeved, as she sat down on her bed.
"Quit? You can't quit! There are people out there who need us, and you're going to turn you're back at them?" Douglass asked with an incredulous look as Marinette shakes her head.
"It's not that simple, Douglass! I can't be Ladybug! I'm just a stupid, clumsy girl that is way over her head! You and the others are better off capturing the Akuma by yourselves!"
"I don't think that's possible. Only Ladybug is capable of capturing the Akuma." Tiki says as Marinette looks down, before shaking her head as she takes off one earring.
"What are you doing?" Tiki asked, alarmed.
"If Douglass and the others can't capture the Akuma then...just find another Ladybug. I told you, guys. I'm not cut out to be a superheroine." She says sadly as she reached over to grab her other earring, but Douglass stops her as he gently grabbed her hand and gave her a comforting look.
"Marinette, please don't do this. You're just overacting. Just because you made one mistake doesn't mean that we can't still fix things. We can still save Paris, but we can't do this without you...I can't do this without you. Please, for the sake of all Paris, make the right choice." Douglass pleaded as Marinette gave him a sad frown and stood up.
"I...I'm sorry, Douglass, but this is for the best," Marinette tearfully says as Douglass gave her a betrayed look.
"No, wait!" Tiki didn't have time to stop her as Marinette takes off her earring, and she disappears.
"Tiki!" Lupus screams as Douglass continued staring at his big sister.
"Marinette..." The young girl couldn't bear to see the disappointed look Douglass was giving her as she ran out of the room and locked herself in the bathroom.
"I'm sorry, Douglass. I'm sorry, Tiki. I can't...I'm not strong enough." Marinette says as she sniffled and started crying.
"What do we do, kid." Lupus solemnly asked as Douglass stared at the empty spot where Marinette was with an emotionless look on his face as he sighs.
"I don't know, Lupus. I just don't know."
And done! Man, was this chapter fun to write! I hope you guys liked the story so far, and if there's anything that you didn't like, feel free to tell me. Criticism is welcome!
