Revanche la' Doll
I have wondered what it would be like if Mari got akumatized ever since I saw the Ladybug episode, so here's my twist on it. (Also Revanche is the French name that means revenge in case you were wondering, also I know la' means the but it didn't sound right without it so please ignore my mess of the French language, also sorry that the name is so close to reflecta doll I did not intend for that, now I'll stop rambling and let you get to the story.) Hope you enjoy, Bug Out! :)
All of Mari's friends had turned against her, well except Adrien. He was the only reason she was okay. When he was around everything seemed at least a little bit better. Unfortunately Adrien was at a photoshoot and not around to protect her, without him there Lila was able to secretly threaten her. She was defenseless without him to escort her around and her former friends openly threw food at her for being "mean" to Lila again.
Mari sat alone at a table in the corner of the lunchroom. She tried to wipe off the chocolate pudding and chicken fried rice leftovers that her classmates had splattered across her outfit. Alya suddenly walked over with her cafeteria tray.
"I can't believe you threatened Lila again," Alya glared. She dumped her tray over Mari's head before storming away. Mari ran home crying just as Adrien walked into the school.

"Hey guys!" I cheered happily as I entered the lunch room.
"Hey dude!" Nino smiled back before returning to his conversation with Lila and Alya. I glanced around the cafeteria, it looked a little bit odd today. One of the corner tables was splattered with pudding and rice and all the dirty trays were put on top. Suddenly it hit me, Mari was missing!
"Guys where did Mary go?" I asked, concerned.
"Oh she was bullying Lila again and when I scolded her she got angry and ran away," Alya sighed annoyed.
"Thanks," I yelped as I raced out of the school and ran towards the bakery.

"Tikki, why can't they see that she's lying," I cried.
"I don't know, I'm sorry. But please try and calm down, Hawkmoth will send an akuma after you," Tikki cautioned.
"Then take the earring for safe keeping then!" I yelled angrily as I chucked the spuds at her.
"Please Mari, reconsider," Tikki begged, but I just face planted in my pillow and cried harder. It wasn't fair and it never would be. I felt Tikki's presents move farther away giving me needed space. I changed out of the pudding soaked dress I had on and headed back for my bed. Then I saw it, a deep purple butterfly with black veins. I tried to calm down and not let it draw near me. I couldn't stop it though and Tikki wasn't here to purify it. I tried to clear my mind but it didn't help, the butterfly infected my half of the best friends necklace me and Alya shared. I collapsed to the ground as I heard Hawkmoths voice fill my head.

"Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng," I called as I climbed up to Marinette's loft. I was about to open the trapdoor when I heard something fall to the ground with a loud bang. Scared I slowly lifted the trapdoor to find Mari collapsed on the floor. I ran over to her but stopped in front of her not knowing what to do. She mumbled something in a dull tone I didn't recognise although the hollow sound sent shivers down my spine. Her skin was pale as if she had seen a ghost. I lifted her chin to see her blue eyes fogged over and distant.
"Mari, Mari, MARI!" I shouted. Please answer me. I mentally begged.
"Yes Hawkmoth," Mari said in her hollow robotic voice, those words were haunting. Especially seeing the black goo over take her collapsed and shivering form. I tried to hold onto her, to help her, but I was too late. The black goo vanished and she instantly flung me off of her hand.
She stood up and I could see her new akumatized form. Her skin was almost white and it had a few subtle cracks running across it. Her hair was tied up in two pigtails on top of her head with flowing, pink ribbons. Her short dress was made of fabric the same color, it was fixed in the middle with a white sash and the sleeves, hem and neckline were sewn with white lace. She wore white stockings and pink flats that were decorated with more of that white lace. She held a pink and white fan and waved it carelessly back and forth past her waist. The moth mask appeared in front of her face and she mumbled something to Hawkmoth before turning back to me.
"Ahh Adrien, you will be good Lila bait," She muttered in her cold voice as she tied me up with strips of stiff black fabric.
"Please Mari, this isn't you, I know you're still in there," I begged.
"You're right, this isn't Mari, I'm Revanche la' Doll. Good job noticing, A+ Mr. Agreste," She said rolling her eyes.
"Please Mari, just listen to me," I whined before she stuffed a piece of fabric in my mouth.
"I thought you just realised that this isn't Mari, she was weak. I already told you that I'm Revanche la' Doll, now if I were you I would stay still and cooperate, I formerly had a crush on you and so I would prefer not to hurt you. I'm saving my revenge for those who hurt me most," Revanche la' Doll growled. I was stunned, Mari had a crush on me? I was too busy thinking about the information I just learned to focus on what was happening, the next thing I knew I was being dangled from the eiffel tower and Revanche la' Doll was demanding the miraculouses and Lila.
The cameras were all pointing at her yet no one was showing. I couldn't cause I was here and Lila wouldn't just hand herself over but where on earth was Ladybug, why wasn't she saving me and Mari. Revanche la' Doll suddenly floated closer to him holding her razer blade fan close to the rope that was holding him up. She slowly started to cut each thread one by one. Suddenly when there was barely any rope left holding him up a mask appeared over Revanche la' Doll eyes.
"STOP! You want me to stop, have you lost it Hawky?" Revanche la' Doll squawked. Nonetheless she jumped off the eiffel tower allowing the police to come up and rescue me. I was confused but as soon as I was released from being examined I transformed and headed in the direction Revanche la' Doll had left in.

I floated into the school and admedently spotted Alya.
"Ahhh, my good old FORMER friend Alya," I laughed. I don't know why it was so funny but it was.
"What do you want, here to bully me like you bullied Lila," Alya asked sarcastically. I frowned deeply, hurt at those words. A crack appeared across my face and Alya jumped back startled.
"Those words wound me Alya, almost as much as Lila's threats, but you wouldn't believe me so I will just have to leave. After I get my revenge that is, Revanche la' Doll always reflects her pain on the ones who hurt her," I cackled. Alya looked truly terrified and I liked that. I spread my fan and Alya tried to defend herself by tossing a cup of pudding at me, I easily reflected it though splattering Alya with the chocolate goo. I waved my fan at her and she slowly turned pale and the same cracks that covered me slowly covered her. Her outfit changed into an orange dress with a pale orange decorative hoodie.
"Mari please stop," She begged desperately. I cackled as her transformation completed. She too looked like a china doll and she bowed to me. I flicked my fan at her causing her to fall to the ground. I smiled as I watched how powerless she was.
"Go fetch Lila," I commanded. Alya Doll stood and walked into one of the classrooms. I passed through the hallways turning everyone who ever hurt me into dolls. Revenge was certainly the sweetest.
Alya walked out of the classroom holding Lila.
"What are you doing, you monster?!" She screamed as she thrashed about in Alya's grip.
"What shall I do with her, master," Alya croned robotically.
"Tie her up for now, I'll be back to seek my revenge. For now though I have places to be, dolls to make, blackness to spread ohh and miraculouses to collect," I smirked. While Alya Doll grabbed some rope and other materials and tied up Lila me and the rest of my dolls left.

I sprinted into the school to find it covered in black goo and people huddled into clusters. I looked up to see Revanche la' Doll leaving with an army of dolls. Dolls? Well that's odd.
"Le, mehhh, goo, uhh, asttt, moo,stuur," Someone mumbled. I sneaked around and found Alya stuffing a tied-up Lila into a closet.
"What on earth is happening?" I asked, confused. Alya turned around to reveal pale skin that was covered in cracks. Her eyes were also clouded like Marinette's though too. I looked her up and down for a second realising she was wearing a completely different outfit, it was an orange dress with a peachy sweater, she too wore white stockings and flats. Her dress was still decorative but it was more simple than Revanche la' Doll's. And one major difference was while Revanche la' Doll looked brand new other than being chipped, Alya's colors were dim and faded as though she were to fade out of existence itself at any moment. Alya, noticing she had been spotted, grabbed Lila captive before taking off after Revanche la' Doll. I chased after her hoping Ladybug would show up soon.

Who could I trust, who could I trust. Probably be best to choose someone who was already a miraculous holder, then I wouldn't have to explain too much to them. Ugggh, I just wish I knew how my holder got akumatized, maybe I could have stopped it from happening. Caught up in my thoughts as I flew through the alleyways I suddenly banged into someone's forehead. They stared at me and the Ladybug earrings confused for a second before grabbing me and putting me in their bag. I was about to fly out when we left the alley way and it was too risky to exit the bag.
I have been working on a cover picture for a few hours now but it's not done yet, I will post the picture with the next chapter. Hope you understand, I don't have the best art system. I just use the touchpad on my laptop and draw with that on the google canvas. It takes time and lots of trial and error. So cover image will be ready hopefully sooner than later.
