Crazy trouble with love part 8
Alternative Marinettes and Adrien
Series: Ladybug and Cat Noir
xxxxxxxxxxxx
-Paris, France-
Ladybug and Cat Noir were trying to jump across rooftops while ducking and dodging what looked like glowing red four leaf clovers.
"Hahahaha!" laughed a tall man with a black and gold bodysuit, a set of twisted arms similar to horseshoes, a dark visor made of gold mirror glass, and had a pair of rabbit ears on his head as a small set of glasses hung from his side. "You can not stop The Jinx!"
(Elsewhere)
Jinx sneezed while looking at Mammoth. "Did you just feel like someone used your copyrighted name without permission?"
"Uh...what's copyright?"
"Nevermind." She groaned.
(Back with our heroes)
Cat Noir pole vaulted over a chimney and took cover while Ladybug used her yo-yo to block any clovers. "Man, this day turned out to be unlucky."
"No time for puns Cat, we need to get in close without getting hit by one of those clovers, or else we'll be dealing with bad luck for the rest of our lives." she spoke while rolling to the side.
"Just saying." He said before getting hit by a large ladder.
"Time for seven years BROKEN BONES!" He laughed while jumping away.
"Ow." He groaned while feeling that one. "Ok that was prrrrity low, even for an akuma."
"Suffer like I suffered!" smirked the villain before he started to toss the clovers into the air, only for them to come zooming down at them like meteors.
BAM!
BAM!
"Woah!" Ladybug dodged the attacked along with Cat Noir before seeing The Jinx forming a very large owl from his hands.
"An owl in the day leads to DEATH!"
"WHO WHO!"
"Uh oh." Cat said before the owl flew at him as Ladybug got in front of the villian.
"End of the line."
"You do realize your stepping on a crack right?" He asked with an evil grin before Ladybug fell right down the hole. "Hope it breaks your back!"
"Hang on Ladybug!" called Cat who swung his pole at the owl.
"WHO!" It cawed out while flying away, as Ladybug was able to use her yo-yo to get back up.
"Persistent aren't we?" The Jinx frowned.
"You need to keep it together, listening to Hawk Moth isn't the way to go."
"By ruining my perfect day? No!" He frowned. "I will destroy you with infinite bad luck! As payback for my bad day!"
Ladybug dodged a punch to the face while a red clover appeared in front of her.
BOOM!
Causing an explosion that went flying into another rooftop. This made the hero roll on the solid concrete with a groan.
The Jinx jumped towards the hero before causing a very large rabbit's foot to appear. "Time to see you off, goodbye Lady-"
BONK!
"Gah!" He yelled out while getting hit in the head by Cat's pole staff, causing the foot to go flying into the distance. He held the spot and found himself tackled on his stomach.
"I got him my lady!" Cat yelled before noticing that The Jinx was chuckling. "What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing." He chuckled. "Just thinking about how to make your life miserable after I get that stupid charm away from you."
"It's a miraculous." he spoke before taking the glasses off him and broke them, causing the akuma to fly out and The Jinx to get covered in darkness before it revealed a normal looking guy who looked confused while Ladybug walked over.
"Huh?" He looked around. "Where am I? This doesn't look like Notre Dame?"
"You were akumatized." spoke Ladybug while using her yo-yo to catch the akuma before opening it and letting the butterfly out.
"Really? I don't remember a thing."
"It happens all the time."
"Uh huh…" he muttered. "Weird, And here I thought I was going to the cathedral to fix the fire damage...shit! I need to get back there!" He then ran off in a panic.
Both looked on while the akuma flew away, now purified.
"Well m'lady, I'd say a job well done."
"True." She said while Cat Noir bowed to her. "You can stop that."
"And be rude to my lady? Never." He smiled while leaning against his pole. "So want to get some sweets? I know this bakery that sells the best bread in Paris."
She blinked. "Really what's it called?"
"Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie."
"Oh! Yeah, I have heard great things about that place, but I'm not really in the mood for bread right now."
"You sure? I'm willing to talk Marinette into giving her idol some food." He pointed to himself. "After all, we are best friends, like you and me. My lady."
Ladybug gave him a deadpanned look before swinging off. "Later Cat Noir!"
He groaned while feeling disappointed. "Another chance wasted." he headed off the way to his home and got in through the window before turning back to normal as Plagg hovered there.
"Guess you'll have to try again next time. Maybe you two could grab breakfast instead, that'll catch her off guard."
"Yeah, like that would ever happen."
"Trust me, it always works." He said while Adrien sat on his bed. "Or you could cook breakfast for her yourself?"
"That wouldn't work, I can't cook to save my life, plus if I did it out of nowhere, Natalie or my father would wonder why I'm suddenly interested."
"Just say you're trying to become a wife." Plagg snickered as Adiren frowned.
"Oh ha ha ha."
"Later, I have some cheese to round up." He said while floating away.
'I shouldn't have let him watch that cowboy marathon.' he thought before looking at the time. "Might as well get to work on my homework before dinner."
As he went to his table, he didn't notice that outside.
RUMBLE!
A storm was coming, small at first and with a bit of pink lightning, but it will soon become a world event the likes no one's seen in this universe.
(Nearly morning)
-Marinette's room-
"ACHOOO!"
ZAP!
BOOM!
A small storm rolled into the city of love as our hero sneezed like she was possessed by the plague. She sniffled while in bed and looking bad with Tikki looking concerned.
"Are you ok Marinette?"
"Yeah, just feeling a bit sluggish, that's all." she sniffled while blowing her nose and sat up, but groaned and fell back.
"Sounds like you might be coming down with a cold."
"ACHOOO!" She sneezed again before feeling completely weak and fell onto the bed. "I..I can't feel my legs...achoo!"
"Maybe you should call it off from school." Tikki suggested before noticing that Marinette was starting to sweat.
"I...can't...ACHOO!" She sneezed while some snot hit the kwami.
"This says otherwise." she grimaced.
She groaned before feeling her eyes getting heavier. "But…"
"Just rest."
Marinette panted while her heartbeat started to fluctuate rapidly from fast to slow in a single second.
(At school)
BOOOOOOM!
The storm raged on outside as it looked like the makings of a hurricane as the students were forced to stay indoors for their own protection against the wind and cold.
"My, it's a big one out there." remarked Ms. Bustier while her class were taking down notes. "I'm just glad there hasn't been any flood warnings."
Adrien looked at the seat next to him and saw that Marinette wasn't here. 'I hope she's ok.'
"Oh man." said Alya while looking at the weather report. "The storms going to get even worse!"
BAM!
And cue a tree branch hitting the glass window and breaking it, letting in the cold and the monsoon rains in the process. The class jumped while Chloe let out a scream.
"Oh my gosh!"
"What? What's wrong Chloe? Are you hurt?" asked Ms. Bustier in concern.
"No, but my new shoes are!" she spoke looking at the shoes as rain hit them, making most of the class inwardly groan.
ZAP!
And cue pink lightning hitting the lights, causing the school to lose all its power in the process.
"Ahhh!" screamed Nino while clinging to Lila.
"Get off Nino, I can't quite hold you like this."
"Sorry." He blushed while letting go. "Um...that's on m-"
ZAP!
"AHHHHH!" He screamed while the lightning got VERY close to the school.
"Class! Please stay calm." spoke Ms. Bustier. "Stay away from the windows and try to keep calm."
The class moved away from the windows as Plagg appeared next to Adiren.
"That storm doesn't look quite right." He said. "Kinda looks like a cosmic storm."
"What do you mean?" Adiren whispered.
"Well it just reminds me of when I was born." Plagg sighed while reminiscing. "Ah the chaotic void looked so beautiful back then, if you're into getting hit by asteroids that is."
"Focus Plagg."
"Right. Anyway, something tells me this might be another akuma, but if it is, it's a real dangerous one. This much power is different than the others."
"How so?"
"Well let's just say that this much power is similar to the forces that made up the earth." He said. "The one where two planets collided. Think that, but ten times worse."
Adrien paled in horror as the lightning started to increase in intensity as the wind started to pick up cars and fling them around like tiny toys. "Then we don't have time to waste."
"Yeah, time for Cat Noir, but you better sneak out. I'm pretty sure they'll see Cat Noir pop up out of nowhere even with this much rain."
"I have an idea for that one." He said before standing up. "Ms. Buster! I have an announcement!"
"What is it?"
"I think I heard the emergency alarm go off, signaling a tornado! We better get downstairs!"
"I don't see a tornado-" Chloe got out before seeing a small tornado forming...RIGHT OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM! "AHHHHH!"
The class rushed out as fast as possible as Adrien smiled.
"Plagg, claws out!"
The kwami appeared before entering the ring and caused Adiren to transform in a shower of darkness.
"Time to hunt down an akuma." he rushed out the window and started pole vaulting around. "Alright, if I just follow this storm, I should be able to find it. Hopefully m'lady can get through this without getting hit by lightning."
As he ran across the rooftops, he noticed something very odd in the distance.
A massive trail of pink lightning, hitting the ground from the middle of the clouds, forming what looked like spires of electricity. And they were all over the city itself, in a set of lucky seven.
"Looks like I got my answers." He said before noticing the lightning was causing large scale wind storms as he almost got sent flying by a gust of high velocity wind. "Woah!" he used his staff to grab onto the railing and tried to push himself against it. 'This is gonna be harder than I thought.'
As he tried to get himself up, he noticed several outlines appearing from the seven spires, all of them disappearing into the city itself as the lightning dissipated and started causing tornadoes in the downtown area.
'Especially from those things.' he thought before he took off on the closest one near him.
(A bit later)
He landed on a garden terrance and looked around. "Ok, where is that figure? Hopefully it's the akuma."
ZAP!
BOOM!
He jumped at the sound of lightning in the distance as he felt the urge to hide under a couch. "Relax Cat, you've faced tougher challenges than this."
That was when he felt a chill go down his spine as something was walking towards him.
'Something tells me that's not the rain.' He thought before the footsteps got closer and closer.
"We meet again Cat Noir." said a voice while Cat Noir quickly spun around. Only to see a young woman with long shoulder length blackish blue hair with ichigo reflections and a curl around her left eye, pink eyes with dark ichigo scleras along with black liner that took the form of two triangle like glasses, light indigo skin, a D cup chest and small ass, wearing a cocktail hat in the shape of a peacock feather which was tear shape and had a blue outer hue and a light pink mark in the 'eye', a light blue translucent veil over her right eye, a blue dress with a fuzzy black collar and sleeves that end in a point on the back of her hand, a hexagonal texture covering the entire thing with a dark blue brooch with five feather segments containing pink crystals on the top of each segment and a teardrop like centerpiece above her chest, a front slit skirt with rounded yet edged light blue points with dark blue light pink centered spots, resembling a peacock's tail feathers, at the ends, translucent indigo tights that are opaque from the knees down and made them look like high heeled boots. In her right hand was a blue hand fan that was comprised of eighteen blue peacock feathers with no barbs near the stafts, leaving only a set of dark blue eyes with light pink spot in the middle, and small white cotton feathers on the top edges of the fan, held in a calm position as the woman looked a little confused yet gave an air of authority to the hero. "And in a dreadful storm too. Not the best place for a battle you know."
"Mayura?" spoke Cat who was caught off guard, mostly due to the fact she was shorter than before and sounded different too.
"That I am." She said while fanning herself as lightning hit a nearby tree. "And you brought me here why? Another duel?"
"Now it all makes sense." he frowned. "This storm must be yours and Hawkmoth's doing, isn't it?"
She raised an eyebrow. "This? My doing? Ha!" She then pointed to the sky. "I'm not that powerful to make a storm this big. I have the peacock miraculous, not the literal creation charm. Foolish cat."
"Just tell me where's the akumatized villain."
"I don't know what you're talking about, but what I do know is that you have something I want. Hand over the ring, or I'll just take it."
ZAP!
BOOM!
Lightning hit the rooftop as Cat summoned his staff.
"I'll take that as a no?" She asked before throwing a feather into a lamppost and turned it into a large monster with pink lighting bolt like spines on its back. "Destroy him!"
It looked at Cat and lumbered over and swung, but Cat managed to roll passed it's legs and ran right at Mayura who blocked a punch and tried hitting him back before Cat got swatted off into a wall.
"Nice try." She cackled before trying to use a roundhouse kick on him. "But you have to put more effort in than that, pussy cat."
He ducked under the leg while rolling to the side. "And you should try and come up with better tricks. One of these things is nothing compared to what I can do."
"I figured." She smirked. "Now fight for real before I get bored."
The monster attempted to grab Cat before one of the pink lightning bolts hit it and caused it to explode into pieces.
"Shit." She cursed while dodging a staff to the face. 'This storm is going to hinder my progress.'
"Until Ladybug gets here, I can handle you on my own." he smirked with her frowning.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh like you don't know."
"What?" She raised an eyebrow. "Ladybug doesn't exist anymore. I made sure of it."
Cat looked completely confused at that last statement. "You couldn't even defeat her with the both of us."
Mayura blocked a blow from the staff with her fan. "You are spouting nonsense Cat Noir."
"Says you, at least I didn't shrink." he jabbed while going for a leg sweep, which she jumped over and jumped back.
"What are you talking about? I've always been this size."
"Yeah, not buying it. You've always been taller than us, but never get that close to taking our miraculous." he smirked.
"What are-" she got out before screaming in pain as the brooch started to spark as pink lightning started to hit the nearby lampposts as the wind picked up again. "AHHHHHHHH!" 'NO! NOT NOW!'
Cat went wide eyed as she fell on her knees and groaned.
'I need to get away before I change back!' she got up and started to rush off down the street.
"Hey! Get back here!" He yelled before seeing the hurricane like winds breaking apart a tree and-
CRASH!
Caused the woman to go flying backwards and right into Cat as the brooch started to dispel the transformation.
"Oof!"
"Ugh…" groaned...Marinette while looking very much in pain as the brooch was fastened around her neck.
"M-Marinette?!" gasped Cat with wide eyes.
She slowly opened her eyes, looked at her hands, and paled. "...shit!"
"W-What's going on?!" he asked with Marinette gulping and looked around.
"Uh...oh no! Where am I? What happened?" she spoke, trying to feign ignorance. "Why am I here?"
He looked at her before flicking his 'tail' at her face.
"Ow!"
"Don't even try that, I need answers-"
BOOOOOM!
"Um, after we get somewhere warm." He sweatdropped as the thunder started to get louder than normal. He carefully picked her up and ran down an alley and ducked into a door that lead to a restaurant that was closed and set her on her feet as she groaned and wobbled. "Marinette, what's going on? You can't make me think you were akumatized, otherwise the akuma would have fluttered out." he frowned.
She sighed with discontent before looking at him. "Fine, you caught me. I'm Mayura. Just don't get too mad Adrien...um I mean...you're not going to believe any more lies from me right?"
"Yep."
"...ugh! Look, let's just start from the beginning BEFORE you start judging, kapesh?"
"Yeah, like how you got that miraculous."
"Well, the truth is...Hawkmoth." she looked away with him crossing his arms.
"So this whole time, the time that I thought you were a nice girl, you've been teaming up with him? The villain who's been going around akumatizing innocent people?"
"Y-wait." She looked at him puzzled. "You think I've been doing all that AND was a nice girl. Ok, your making no sense." She placed her hands on her hips. "You knew I was a nice girl, but I only joined him two months ago."
"Wait what?"
"You heard me. I'm new to this miraculous business."
He looked at her like she was nuts and frowned. "What did I say about lying?"
"I'm not lying! You act like you know me personally, but that's a lot coming from you." she frowned. "You barely ever talk to me or even acknowledge me."
"But I did!"
"As Cat Noir or as Adiren?"
"Um...both?"
She deadpanned. "To think I wanted to help you." She then looked out at the stormy weather outside. "I think someone played a trick on us."
"Don't change the subject!"
"I'm not, I'm just saying that someone set us up."
"Oh yeah, because it would take someone setting us up when you've been helping Hawkmoth this whole time!" he turned away with a frown. "How can you look me in the eyes and say you've been Mayura for two months? If that's true, then why put on the phony look of making yourself look like a grown woman?"
"What?!" She growled. "I'm still a teen! And if you think about your damn secretary, blame her for being my predecessor! I only did this to wake your mother up!" She then covered her mouth and looked away. 'Shit!'
He turned to her with wide eyes before walking over and made her face him with a glare. "What are you talking about?"
"I...I can't say."
"What do you mean wake my mother up? She's been gone for years!" he snapped while turning her head towards him. "Answer me!"
She looked at him with tears forming. "S-She's not dead…" she started to sniffle. "She's...in your house...in a coma."
"What?!"
"Hawkmoth kept her there because...he loves her. And when he told me that you missed her I...I joined willingly." She sniffled. "He wanted the ring of destruction and the earrings of creation to reverse her...condition…"
"But…that doesn't make any sense. Why would he have her there? But...how could he do that? My father would have known." he growled and gripped her shoulders. "I KNOW Mayura! She's not you! None of this makes sense!"
"But…" she looked down. "This doesn't make sense either…"
"Why?!"
"Because I was the only one to try and help you! I wanted to fix your family because I cared for you!" She snapped. "I chose this role to fix everything, but you always stop me and...and...you always think I'm a monster! I'm not! I'm trying to be the hero...in a monster's skin...sniff…"
Cat saw tears running down and felt bad, but still so confused and looked down before letting go of her and turned away from her while closing his eyes. 'What's going on? This doesn't make sense? I know Marinette, she's not the kind of girl to go behind my back and do something like this, let alone help Hawkmoth, and there's no way he could have my mom in my own home without my father knowing. What's going on around here?'
"Sniff." Marinette looked at the ground. "Adrien."
"What?"
"...I'm sorry." She sniffled. "For everything."
He looked at her and felt bad seeing her like this, but let out a sigh and rubbed his head while unable to give a response. 'Great, now I feel like the bad guy here.' he looked at her and took a deep breath. "Marinette, if you work with Hawkmoth, then you must know who he is, right?"
"Yes."
"Tell me then."
"I can't." She said sadly. "It might lead...to me losing my powers and my role as your 'angel'."
"Marinette, if he's holding my mother hostage, I NEED to know who he is, to put an end to all the trouble he's caused to this city."
"...it's your father." She said with a low tone. "He did all of the akumatizations, all the suffering and pain...to keep you safe and for him to save your mother."
Now he REALLY looked at her like she was mad before there was a loud rumble, followed by what sounded like an explosion.
"What the?" Marinette looked up in shock. "What was that?!"
"How do you NOT know?!"
"I just appeared in a flash of pink light, I'm still confused here!"
BOOOM!
"Look, I'll check it out, just stay here."
She looked down and nodded. "Adrien."
"Yes?"
"Please don't tell anyone...please." She said sadly. "I...I don't want to be remembered as a monster…"
He sighed while running out of the restaurant.
"...I'm sorry…"
(Outside)
Lightning hit the nearby cars as Cat ducked from a windswept tree branch.
"I hope this storm calms down soon."
"Cat Noir!"
He turned and saw Ladybug swinging over and landed in front of him. "Ladybug, glad to-"
"I was so worried!" she ran over and hugged him, throwing him off guard. "I couldn't find you at school and thought something bad happened to you."
"Woah!" He jumped before looking at her, and noticed a small red and black friendship ring on her left hand. "Um, what's with the ring?"
"What? You don't remember our pre-wedding friendship ring exchange? Oh my!"
"Wait, back that up. Our pre-what?" he looked at her with wide eyes. 'I swear she mentioned wedding, but I had to have imagined it.'
"Our pre-wedding friendship rings." She huffed. "We exchanged them after getting your father's approval for marriage. After school that is."
He looked at her silently and shook his head with a smile. "Wait, I see what's going on m'lady. You're trying to mess with me, aren't you? Not bad, but might wanna work on the delivery."
"...eh? Adrien?" She frowned. "I'm not using puns. It's not even punday sunday!"
"A-Adrien?" he stiffened up. "O-Oh! You mean that boy model?"
"I'm serious, what's going on?" she crossed her arms. "You're acting weird."
He blinked. "One question."
"What?"
"How do you know about Adrien?"
"Simple, we're dating you know silly cat."
His jaw dropped while feeling faint and shook his head. "Wait...dating? But...But I tried asking you out earlier, but you declined."
"When did I do that? We've been dating for a year now."
'A YEAR?!'
"Did you hit your head? Is there a villain around here?"
"Uh…hold that thought for a second." he walked away while rubbing his hands together. 'Dating? Ladybug? For a year? Ok, either I'm delusional from the fight, or this makes absolutely no sense.'
"Hey Adrien!" Ladybug called out.
"Yes?"
"You forgot to call me Marinette! That is the name of your fiancé you know!"
"...What?!" he whirled on her. "Marinette?! That's impossible! I just left you alone in that kitchen to see what was going on out here!"
"Oh that, I saw some pink lightning hitting a generator and I got sent flying from downtown." She pointed to her burnt hair. "But what are you talking about? I just got here."
"Nooo, I just saw you in the kitchen, where apparently you told me you were Mayura!"
"What?!" she looked at him before frowning. "Cat, why would I be Mayura? I don't work with Hawkmoth, I work with you, to keep Paris safe and sound."
"But-"
"Plus I was LOOKING for my soon to be husband in this storm!"
He shook his head and frowned. "Oh yeah? So if I go back in that kitchen, I WON'T find you there?"
"No, because I'm right here."
"Alright, then let's go check to be sure." He said before getting sent flying into the air by a tornado.
(Elsewhere)
CRASH!
And went flying into a bakery window.
"Ow...I'm ok!" He got out while his head was spinning. He rubbed it and shook it. "Note to self, try to avoid tornadoes."
As he got up, he noticed a figure right next to him.
That being was a young woman with floor length jet black hair that is styled in a single braid, which made it look like a long tail being supported by a black two-wire ball fluo green along with a black feather at the end, cat ears on her head with fluorescent green accents, green feline like eyes with oblong pupils with a black mask covering them, a C cup chest and small ass, wearing a black catsuit with fluorescent green accents on her knees, forearms, waist and neck, black gloves on her forearms with claws, a fluorescent green band that went down a bit and had a black ball near it, a black collar that was little open at the neck, a fluorescent green band which went down to the poitrine, a black ball in the lower part of her neck, a black belt with a fluorescent green band in the middle at the right leg, a black button with a fluo green cat, a fluorescent green son with a black ball hanging around the waist, black fluo-green boots go all the way up to the knee with a small flowing green band in the heel and end along with small black wedges.
And she was looking right at him.
"..." she blinked once, twice, three times before saying in a hoarse tone. "C-C-Cat Noir?!"
"Uh...yes?" he spoke, only to find the girl tackling him in a hug while he landed on his back. "Oof!"
"You're alive!" She cried before her hair wrapped around him. "B-But that akuma...how?!"
Cat looked very lost as the girl kept on hugging him. "Who are you?"
"Lady Noir." She sniffled before putting on a happy face. "Paris' prrrfect heroine."
He looked at her confused. "Wait, did you just make a cat pun?"
"Yep."
"That's my quirk."
"It's also mine." She deadpanned. "Also, I can't believe you're alive."
"Why else wouldn't I?"
"You died the day you became Mister Bug."
"Mister Bug?" he looked completely lost and held his hands up. "Ok, now I'm confused. I've never died, I'd know if I did. Second, who's Mister Bug?"
"The one with the Ladybug miraculous." She pointed her tail at him. "And you did die...wait? Maybe the prrrfect storm outside resurrected you?! Oh my god! My wish came tru-"
"HOLD UP!" Cat yelled as Lady stopped talking as the tail somehow puffed up. "What you're saying makes no sense! I've never used Ladybug's miraculous before."
"You did...just a month ago." She said sadly. "And...I should've been the one to take the hit."
He grumbled at that. "Look, just stop talking nonsense-"
"I'M NOT TALKING NONSENSE!" She snapped while Cat noticed that she looked like Marinette. "I saw you die! I saw your funeral!"
He reeled back while feeling bad for sounding uncaring, but stood his ground. "Look, just tell me this. If I did die, how can I be here?"
"I-I don't know!" She snapped before scratching the wall with one claw. "I-I just begged and I'm here with you! I-I just wanted you back Adrien!"
'How does she know that?!' he gulped. "Uh...what do you mean? I don't know this Adrien, other then the fact he's a popular model around here."
And cue grabbing him by the shirt and glaring at him.
"I SAW YOU DIE AND NOW YOU'RE MOCKING ME?! YOU BASTARD!" She snapped in pure feral rage.
"No! No no no I swear!" he spoke up quickly. "I-I just don't get this! I don't understand what's going on! I mean, if you know me, and you use my miraculous, while at the same time looking like a classmate I know, then...are you Marinette?"
"OF COURSE I AM!" She growled while taking a very deep breath. "I'm Marinette, you realized it when you drew your last breath!"
'Oh boy, I really shouldn't have touch...wait.' "Hold up, if you're Marinette, and the other two were Marinette as well...ah! What's going on?!"
"Wait, what do you mean other two?" she looked confused.
"I just got done talking with two other Marinettes. One of them is apparently Mayura, which makes no sense, and the other one has been Ladybug, but she's acting like we've been dating for a year, which I know for a fact isn't true, even though it's a dream come true for me."
Lady Noir swished her hair from side to side. "Ok, I think maybe these other mes and the storm outside that brought me here might be connected."
"I think so too. There can't be that many Marinettes unless this has something to do with Hawkmoth. Something tells me this is part of his handy work, but if it is being caused by an akuma, then we need to find it and fix things."
"Well if it's an akuma, I saw one heading towards your house a few minutes ago. Looked kinda like a church gargoyle with wings." She said.
"Then it's time we fix things up before Paris gets anymore messed up."
"I would come but…" she pointed to an overturned bus. "I need to get the damages fixed from this storm. Can't have civilians getting in a prrrfect blunder you know Catty Cat."
"...good call."
"Just don't die this time or I'm going to make sure your obituary is full of smut! I mean it." She glared with worry in her eyes before kissing his cheek.
Cat touched the spot as she rushed off and felt himself blushing. 'She...kissed me...she really did!'
ZAP!
BOOOM!
A bolt of lightning hit the street, causing Cat to snap out of his stupor and recall the akuma heading towards his house.
"No time to stand around." He said while running out of the bakery.
(Later)
-Agreste manor, Gabriel's office-
ZAP!
BOOOOOOM!
Gabriel looked outside while sensing a very powerful force in the very air, humming against his ears as his secretary was placing iron nails into the window panes.
"I don't like it." Nooroo said nervously. "It's like a cosmic storm, but worse."
"Relax Nooroo, it will pass." spoke Gabriel calmly.
"Sir, I don't think it's a regular kind of storm." spoke Nathalie with concern. "It feels like something an akuma would be capable of doing, but on a larger scale."
"I haven't made any since yesterday." He said. "Besides, they would have to either hate the world or be devoid of anything but rage to make such a feat possible."
Nooroo looked out the window and noticed something flying towards them. "Incoming!"
CRASH!
The window exploded into glass shards as a figure landed right behind the two humans and lone kwami.
"Justice will be served." said a very dark tone with a lot of authority in it. "Starting with you if you disobey justice."
They turned around and noticed a girl with long black and gold hair going down her back and took the form of bladed wings, dark yellow eyes with a purple mask covering it, a C cup chest and wide ass, a black and gold suit of armor that covered her like polished stone, sharp dagger like claws and toes, and had a set of black blades floating around her like an inverted halo.
"Who are you? What gives you the right to break into Mr. Agreste's home?" frowned Nathalie.
She pointed her blades at the woman. "Lady Justice, and my duty is to bring everyone to justice, including my maker." she turned to Gabriel who stood up.
"And what makes you think I am he?"
"Simple." She sniffed the air while her hair moved up and down like pigeon wings. "I smell the sin on you, and for that I shall bring you to justice!"
"Might I ask why?"
"For the crime of framing me for a crime I never committed and using me like a puppet." She growled. "But know this, I've been in this form for two years and I will never again be controlled by a sinner like you!"
"Two years? I find that hard to believe." he spoke cooly while Nathalie touched her miraculous. "I akumatized someone yesterday, so how could that be possible?"
She slashed at the woman as her arms turned to stone from a single touch of her blades. "Simple, you. Made. Me." She then pointed her right claw at him. "And if you must know my name, it's Marinette, now." She charged at him. "FACE MY JUSTICE!"
That's when Cat Noir pole vaulted in and landed on her back, causing her to go off course and go flying through the wall while Gabriel ran to Nathalie.
"Are you ok?"
"No." She groaned as the stone started to spread a little. "I think she's the real deal...damn it."
Lady Justice got up while looking pissed. "Ok, who did that?!"
"That'd be me." smirked Cat Noir. "So you're the akuma who's behind this storm."
"What are you talking about?" She frowned as a copy popped out of her armor. "I bring justice not the weather, now stand aside! That sinner is going to face Lady Justice's holy wrath!"
"Gabriel Agreste? Might be a bit cold and not a big fan of smiling, but I wouldn't go that far." he remarked before running at her.
The clone charged at him while slashing the blades at him.
"He turned me into an akuma!" The original growled while sending her blades at Cat. "Two years of being a puppet to that moth and for what?! Being a freak! No more! I say NO MORE GABRIEL! NO MORE SINNERS!" She then took flight. "ALL SINNERS SHALL FACE JUDGEMENT!"
Cat blocked the blades from the copy with Nathalie and Gabriel ducking out through the elevator, which Cat didn't spot.
But Lady Justice did as she charged towards the elevator, only for Cat to grab her by the wing.
"You're not going anywhere!"
"You stupid cat!" She snapped. "You let the sinners escape!"
"Look, just let me de-akumatize you and you'll feel way better, I can guarantee it."
The copy grabbed him by the arms as the main one kicked him to let go.
"You think no one tried?!" She growled. "For two years I've spent in this form, and by now that akuma has just as well fused with me! I'm not looking for salvation." She raised her claws up as the blades took aim at Cat. "I WANT JUSTICE!"
'Oh no.' he thought while struggling against the copy.
Lady Justice flew at him before faltering. "Wait...I know you."
Cat blinked. "You do?"
"Yes, you're the only one that sinner Lila DIDN'T fall for her lies." She moved the blades back. "Meaning you're innocent."
'Ok...I can play along with this.' He thought. "That's good, so in that logic I'm...your partner?"
"Yes…" she trailed off. "But you're a miraculous holder! If I let you go then you will stop me from stopping the sinners YOU let her away!"
"Woah woah, that doesn't sound like something a partner would do."
She frowned. "How do I know you aren't trying to trick me?"
"Well I won't."
"Prove it." She said. "Tell me your real name, if you lie I'll sniff it and then." She sliced the floor and caused it to turn to stone. "Say hello to your prison of JUSTICE!"
And cue him getting caught between a rock and a hard place...until he realized something.
'Everyone popping out of this storm is like Ladybug or Marinette.'
ZAP!
BOOOM!
"Well?" Lady Justice frowned. "I'm waiting."
"Well don't you know a handsome face when you see it?" he smiled. "It's me, Adrien."
"..." she blinked before the clone dispersed and she looked at him in shock. "...oh holy god! I-I almost ended you!"
"So you believe me now?"
She fell to the ground while the storm increased and caused buses to go flying around. "Adrien...my lost...holy lord…"
"What happened to you?"
"It's a story I told the sinner already." She said in shock and disbelief.
Cat patted her shoulder, which didn't turn to stone. "Tell me."
(One explanation later)
"And that's how I became independent of that sinner's influence." Lady Justice said sadly. "And after that I came through a lightning strike and well...popped up here."
"I'm sorry, I really am Marinette."
She sighed. "Well since I'm stuck in this form, might as well punish the sinners. Starting with the one that brought me here."
"And how do you know it's not your Paris?"
"The place isn't full of statues."
Cat shivered and grimaced at the image.
BOOOM!
That was when another explosion occurred as the city started to get flooded by massive amounts of rain and river water.
"Crap!" Cat yelled as Lady Justice sniffed the air.
"There's another sinner somewhere in the city, I need to bring them to justice." She then took flight. "I will see you later Adrien, and if I see any innocents, I shall bring them to shelter."
Cat watched her flying away while seeing the flood was reaching the gates to the mansion. "Crap! I gotta make sure Natalie and father are alright."
(Later)
Cat went down the hallway while outside the window he could see that the city looked like an ecological war zone as the storm began to change from a force of nature to an action of the divine's wrath. "I need to hurry!"
"Oi!" called out a voice. "Cat Noir! Stop a moment!"
He skidded to a stop and groaned. "Oh what now?"
That was when Ladybug jumped next to him, but with the body of a thirty year old, an F cup chest and 'omega thicc' ass, with longer hair that took the form of two antennas, pink lipstick with long thick mascara laced eyebrows, and holding a long black and red back that looked similar to the miraculous box.
"Thanks." She sighed in relief. "Holding all the charms and having this much weight doesn't help with my stamina."
Cat started to get a nosebleed at the sight of this woman.
"Cat." She deadpanned. "Don't think of earthly desires, especially my butt."
"Right, but why-"
"Am I not so shocked?" She interrupted. "Simple, I'm shocked, but when you're the guardian of the miraculous, you have to keep a calm facade unless I somehow suffer a nervous breakdown. Why? Because I already saw your predecessor suffer one before you took the ring." she sighed rubbing her nose while he gulped. "Look, give me a brief rundown on what's going on."
"Well for one, I've been seeing Marinette's all over the place, five as of now." He said. "And the storm is increasing."
"I see." She nodded. "I was heading the same way as well."
"Well then you can help me."
"I can't." She shook her head. "As successor of the ring, I can only guide you, not fight your own battles."
"Uh...Ladybug? I'm Cat Noir, as in, the one you know, you're the only one out of place because...well...you're older."
She rubbed her chin while her eyes twitched. "I see...then hold on a second."
Cat heard thunder from right behind him as the woman started screaming her lungs out in shock for a few minutes before she stopped.
"I can understand that now." She said hoarsely. "But...I think we should talk about this." 'Before I have a mental breakdown!'
"Well I don't know what else I can explain."
"Just tell me if you defeated Hawkmoth."
"We didn't."
"I see, well he was defeated." She pointed to her bag. "I became the guardian and could use them all at once." She sighed. "But being Ladybug is my only tie to my past. After you, Adiren, had that mental breakdown."
'Another one that know...right older version.' "What was the cause of that?"
"Finding out his father was Hawkmoth." She spoke calmly. "The stress was too much and like his mother...entered the realm of sleep."
'Why is everyone saying my father is Hawkmoth?!' he thought in distress. 'I know it's another world, but it's just way too nutty to be real!'
"Alright, so what have the other mes been like, and where exactly are they?"
"Well ones Mayura, ones going to marry me, another is Lady Noir, and the last one was a permanent akuma called Lady Justice." He said as lightning hit the water outside, electrifying it. "And they are busy either trying to help out or feel depressed."
She nodded. "Any more?"
"Well besides you, I think I saw two others popping up…" he then went eyed while seeing the pink lightning in the sky. "From the lightning! Of course! This storm is drawing them here!"
"And possibly more." Ladybug said. "But don't you have someone to save? You were in a hurry."
"Ah! Right, Natalie and father!"
"Want a charm to assist you?"
"Well, if you're offering some help, I wouldn't mind it m'lady." he smiled making her smile back.
"If I make it back, I'm definitely getting the other you to act like his usual self, I miss that part about him." She patted his cheek. "Do you want a miraculous or my assistance?"
"Mmmm…" he mused over that. "Got any suggestions?"
"Either the snake, bee, ox or cat miraculous." She said while taking them out of her bag. "Just be warned, I don't know what would happen if you chose two car miraculous at the same time."
"Alright, I'll try out snake."
She gave him the sea green band while Sass appeared.
"Mmm…" he looked at him. "I see potential, but he looks like that other one."
"This is another Adrien."
"...Fluff again?"
"No."
"..." he looked at Cat. "For this mission, you better not fail or I might look like a laughing stalk to the others."
"I'm not one to disappoint my public." He said while placing it on. "Um..how do I do this?"
"Say scales slither." Ladybug said. "To change back it's scales rest."
"Got it. Scales slither!" He said while getting covered in green energy as his suit became pure black suit with turquoise parts around his face, arms, chest and legs, with a green diamond on his chest, two thin like ears in the shape of spines and two fangs on each side of his mask. "Ok...this looks nice, miss the tail though."
"Trust me, a new change in costume is nothing compared to the extra abilities, just be careful, using more than one miraculous at a time can be straining."
"How bad?"
"You can't use them for ten minutes and well...you might enter a coma." She sweatdropped. "But if you want I can give you your ring, well my Adrien's ring, just in case."
"No thanks, something tells me this should be enough." He said before Ladybug placed the ring in his pole, the one with all his Marinette pictures. "How-"
"Spoilers." She snickered before pointing forwards. "Now get to it Snake Noir."
He nodded before running down the hall as the woman watched him go.
'To think, I saw him as immature and stupid...ah youth.'
(Elsewhere in the mansion)
Snake Noir ran down the hallway before noticing some clanging in the kitchen. He stuck to the wall and kept his eyes on the archway.
Clang!
That was when he noticed a pool of ink oozing from the kitchen and started taking the form of tendrils that seemed to squirm around like slugs.
'Ok, that's not weird at all.' he thought sarcastically.
That was when he decided to look inside, and saw a woman with a seven to eight hundred pound body with pale white skin, four dark red eyes with fang like teeth, long dark pink hair that took the form of a giant set of shark like jaws, a large stomach with shark teeth near the belly button area making it look like a third jaw, a massive ass, thick arms and legs, chubby cheeks, wearing a large black and silver kimono with fifty long white sashes that took the form of tentacles that lifted her off the ground, a large black bamboo brush that hovered around her as black ink oozed from the tip, and black high heels that seemed to be made of ink and forming a pool of the black substance under her body, eating an entire fridge!
"Nom nom nom nom!"
'Holy mother of god!' Snake thought as the ink kept on forming around the woman. 'I know this might sound rude, but is that a lady or some unknown creature?'
She finished eating before walking out of the kitchen. "Good meal, but better find out who the fuck took me away from my job. Ugh, stupid Hawkmoth, I was busy with a very delicate pen job!"
'That's an akuma?!' He thought in surprise. 'Better get ready for a fight.'
She opened the doors before getting stuck. "FUCK!"
Snake sighed in relief before seeing the pen moving over the door and began to draw on it, causing it to become wider than normal.
"This bastard needs to fix these doors! I'm an artist not a damn skinny model!"
"Hold it right there!"
She saw Snake jumping right in front of her. "And you are?"
"Snake Noir."
"...so?" She said with a raised eyebrow.
"You heard of me, well not in this form." He said in disbelief. "Cat Noir."
"Never heard of you." She said bluntly. "But hey, I'm not a model or a designer. I'm an artist of the ink and tattoos."
'Ok, she's never heard of me...not good.'
"Move out of the way, I'm busy with a job."
"That being?"
"Getting some ring and earrings and take them to some moth faced bastard." She rolled her four eyes. "Then I shall take my revenge on all those skinny people who fat shame the people of the world!"
Snake blinked. "So you're working for Hawkmoth to...get people to feel better about their bodies?"
"Well duh!" Ink Master snapped. "Size is nothing compared to one's worth! So move or I'm going to make you regret annoying Ink Master!"
"I have nothing against that, but if you're going to attack the citizens of Paris." He summoned a sea green lyre. "You have to get passed me."
She frowned as the pen started to draw several samurai warriors onto the walls as they came to life. "Then face the wrath of an artist! Get them minions!"
The ink drawings drew their swords and charged at Snake.
Snake Noir started strumming the strings while hoping for something to happen, but all it did was make music.
Which caused the ink warriors to pause and started to sway back and forth.
"Huh? Hey, what's going on? I said get him!"
"Seems like they'd much rather enjoy a little music instead." he smirked as he kept playing. "Since they're too into it, why don't we get to know each other?"
The warriors kept on dancing before Snake jumped over them and right at Ink Master.
GULP!
Only to get eaten by the hair as the snake miraculous activated at the moment of the attempted jump.
"Ah! Ok, that was scary!" he spoke while just now playing the music. 'Ok, avoid the hair, noted.'
Ink Master growled before using the tendrils to grab Snake, all the while he dodged and kept on playing at the same time. "Hold still!"
"Oh come now m'lady, that'd ruin this lovely concert." he teased.
"...what the fuck are you implying?!" She growled. "I'm not your lady! I'm an artist!"
"A lady artist." He dodged a tendril before he got hit by the ink and was turned into a large sumo wrestler, only for the miraculous to reverse the situation backwards in time. "Ok...that was freaky!"
"Just hold still so I can FUCK YOU UP!" She growled in rage before getting kicked in the face. "GAH!"
"Time to get you de-akumatized." He said while sensing the akuma was right on her stomach. He looked down and spotted a piercing in her belly button and smirked. "Bingo." he reached down and grabbed it before yanking it off.
"AAAAAAH!" She screamed in pain while looking at him with anger. "THAT HURT YOU CUNT!"
"My bad m'lady." He said quickly as the pen started to create a giant katana and pointed it at him. "You'll thank me later, Cataclysm!"
He crushed the orb of darkness in his hand and touched the piercing before it broke, causing Ink Master to get covered in darkness while an akuma flew out of the pieces. "Crap, I can't purify it without Ladybug."
The akuma flew around before entering the woman's tattoos, turning it into ink as its energy started to become purified instantly.
"...what the?" He said in surprise. 'The akuma willingly turned good?!'
"Ow." groaned the woman who was Marrinette, but still the same size as her akuma form with medium length black hair with blue reflections that was tied back in two short pigtails using a red bandana, grey cargo pants, a large ripped black shirt with the words 'Jagged Stone' on it in gray font with a black and red striped sweatshirt that was tied around her waist and covered her ass, both of which looked small on her body as her stomach stuck out like a sore thumb, a black and red belly button piercing that seemed to have rematerialized out of nothing, several tattoos of different species of flowers and dragons all over her arms, legs and around the edges of her stomach, and red shoes with short white socks, in pain. "Fuck you...that really hurt!"
And cue Snake changing back to his normal form due to the attack.
Sass and Plagg floated around him while Sass looked annoyed.
"Plagg, does your user EVER not think without a plan? Because getting eaten and turned into...that thing wasn't a good impression on me."
"It was his first time you know."
"Still, I had high expectations for him." Sass said calmly before another Plagg appeared behind him.
"...yep." The other Plagg said while sounding very older yet tired. "I'm getting WAY too old for this crap."
Plagg blinked. "You must be that other kwami that other Ladybug gave him right?"
"Yes, and seeing you...makes me regret being a jerk to my Adiren. And now he's trying to forget me...ugh. So many bad memories."
"Again, I don't think this is the time for that guys." spoke Adrien.
Both Plaggs and Sass looked at him. "He has a point."
The former Ink Master frowned before seeing Adrien's face and felt red in the face. "You."
He turned to her.
"Next time, if I turn into that, DON'T pull my belly piercing off. That fucking hurt!"
"You were trying to kill me."
"No I wasn't, I was going to move you away so I can fuck up Chloe's figure. Stupid bitch."
"Ok, before you explain, let me explain first. You're not in the same Paris as you think."
"I can see that." She frowned. "After all my tattoo parlor doesn't exist here."
"Wow, you're...taking this easier than I'm used to at this point."
"Because when you're an artist, you have to expect the insane customers." She said with a nod. "But getting turned into 'her', that wasn't my best move. Still, at least you didn't call me a sow or anything."
"Because it's...rude?"
"Duh." She rolled her eyes. "So care for a story or not lover boy?"
'First time being called that.' Adrien thought with a light blush. "Well, I've heard the backstories on the other Marinettes, so sure."
She shook her head. "I wanted to be a fashionista, but decided to try being a tattoo expert after seeing some books on japanese tattoo works. Started gaining stress weight during that time, started to appreciate it and started a tattoo parlor after graduating. But that's when the bitch Chloe started to fat shame me with her flunkies so I got mad, a moth made me a deal, turned into 'Ink Master' and somehow got here from a pink lightning bolt. Then the rest is fucking history."
"Wow, that's...brief and blunt." he remarked. 'Guess she developed a like for cursing too.'
"Also." She said while pointing to him. "Who are you?"
"Adrien Agreste, or Cat Noir."
"I'm behind on the fashion world, so sorry for being a blockhead." She said sarcastically. "Anyway, since you got me fixed, I'm indebted to you."
"Well-"
"I insist, and trust me." She placed her hand on her hips. "I'm not taking no for an answer, I'm going to help you in any shape or form, even if it's you wanting to fuck me. So go on, tell me what you need from me."
The kwami snickered at Adiren, who turned red at the fuck part.
"I..I...um…" he stuttered. "Maybe...friends?"
"..." she sighed. "Fine, but that doesn't count as a debt. So I'm sticking to you for a LONG time, as a friend, until you want to fuck or that crap. Got it lover boy?"
"Uh…well…ok, but just out of curiosity, but how old are you exactly? I'm curious."
"About nineteen. Graduated early." She smirked. "I'm a natural at tattooing."
He was about to retort when he recalled his mission, to save Natalie and his father from the flood. "Crap, Plagg are you still ready for some rescuing?"
"No/Yes." Both Plaggs said at once as Sass went into his miraculous for a nap.
"Uh, the younger Plagg I mean."
"I'm tired. Unless you have any cheddar cheese that is."
"Be serious." The other Plagg sighed before looking at Adrien. "I'm happy to help, but come closer."
He did as the kwami whispered.
"There was an occasion where two of the same miraculous can be used at the same time." He said. "The sorcerer that made them, in my world, created two of my rings, caused destruction for a few years but I learned that if one is used in tangent with a weakened miraculous, like yours, it can be recharged."
"Really?"
"Your Plagg never told you because it never happened in this world. So if you want the two of us, consider my ring as a power booster." The older Plagg smirked. "Consider that a gift for all the times I was a jerk to you."
"How sweet of you." He looked at Plagg. "I like this one, he's nicer then you and considerate."
"Hey!" he frowned.
"I'm just teasing Plagg."
He huffed before the other Plagg pulled out his ring from inside his body and placed it in Adrien's hand.
"Here you go."
"Ew."
"Well you did allow Ladybug to place the ring in the pole, aka our weapon, I just pulled it out of my younger's self's body since we do have a connection and use the same space to store all your stuff in." The other Plagg said. "Why do you think it smells of cheese all the time?"
Marinette looked at him before walking back to the kitchen. "Later lover boy, see you when I'm done with my dinner."
"Ok, later." He waved while looking at her jiggling ass. 'Wow…'
"Ready for a powered up Cat Noir?" The other Plagg asked. "We do have to save your...ugh father and his unrequited lover from certain drowning."
Adrien snapped out of his stupor while placing the ring on his other hand. "Alright, let's do this." He then raises his hand up. "Plagg, Claws out!"
And cue him turning into Cat Noir as his main ring started to recharge as Plagg felt very peppy.
"Wow! That was weird."
"Plagg, Claws out!" He said again as his body started to gain a dark green aura around his now long claws, two long 'tails', a darker mask with longer ears, and black armor on the chest, shoulders and back. "Woah!"
As he looked at himself, he could feel all the chaotic and destructive powers flowing through his body like an ocean.
"Woah, this is big." He muttered while summoning two poles in his hands. "And amazing!"
(Elsewhere)
-Gabriel's hidden lair-
"Damn it." Natalie cursed while her arms were still covered in stone. "It was like she knew who I was and how to activate the miraculous."
"If I could I'd remove the akuma from her body, but so far nothing I try works." frowned Gabriel.
Nooroo shivered while sensing the storm's increasing power. "I-I think if we don't stop the storm, Paris might be destroyed."
Gabriel turned to the kwami. "This storm isn't going to do that."
"Y-YES IT WILL!" He yelled out. "I can sense the storm's transmission of power! It's like a miniature Big Bang!"
"Sir, perhaps Nooroo speaks the truth." spoke Natalie. "If it keeps up, all of Paris might be swept away."
Gabriel sighed before Nooroo sensed something else, something caused it to turn a pale purple color. "What is it now?"
"I...I sense…" he stuttered. "All...of...them…"
"All of what?"
"All...of the miraculous…" he stuttered. "All...coming this way!"
"What?" spoke Gabriel in surprise.
"All of them! Even mine!" He screamed in fear. "They're coming after me!"
The peacock miraculous shimmered a little while also sensing something as the window started to bubble and melt from a sudden lava flow from the ceiling.
"Ha ha ha." laughed a dark voice from the ceiling. "My precious miraculous. Ha ha ha!"
Natalie paled while the lava started to ooze onto the ground and slowly solidify into a pillar of pumice and obsidian.
"Ha ha ha." laughed the voice again before a tall woman with long white hair that went all the way to her sharp triangle shaped taloned feet, dark obsidian body armor covering her entire body including the face, red lines with magma oozing out of them, dagger like claws, two large bat like wings with several open red eyes attached to the membranes, a G cup chest and small ass, nineteen curved horns that went around and took the form of a crown, a zigzag like mouth with bear trap like teeth, pure black eyes with a hint of yellow, a serpentine like tail that went around her legs and her right arm like a whip and had an obsidian tip about a foot long, landed on the ground as nineteen miraculouses were entombed in her many horns and were now a tainted reddish black color.
Nooroo paled in horror while shaking like a leaf.
She chuckled a bit more before saying in a dark yet overlapping voice similar two both a woman and a males voice remixed into a hellish tone. "Ah, the old moth and his broken peacock. Nice to see you again, alive that is."
Gabriel frowned as he could feel a dark force expelling from the woman's body like a torrent of water. "Just who are you?"
She 'smirked'. "Malicious. The greatest villain in history and." She pointed to her horns. "Consumer of miraculouses. Tastes like chicken really."
"M-M-Master." whispered Nooroo in fear while Malicious stepped towards Gabriel. "We n-n-need to get a-away."
"Now, you have something I need." She cackled pointing to his miraculous. "That little trinket."
"And what will you do with the miraculous exactly?"
She opened her 'mouth' as lava leaked from the opening. "Destroy your concepts. Once they are gone the universe will die and I shall be it's god. But don't worry, I will be slow when consuming your soul!"
"I'm afraid that won't be possible."
She circled around him while pointing outside. "You fail to realize that this storm not only brought me here for a feast, but is tearing creation apart through its own power. Once the storm covers the planet the tears will increase ten fold and then your world shall be fused together with many others, thus feeding me and before you say it." She cracked her neck. "I will ask the intended question. Ahem, why not?"
'This woman….she's no akumatized person, she's pure…evil.' He thought.
"Well? Why can't I possibly consume you and your little kwami?" She asked while the tail swished around like a viper.
"Because I will make sure you won't destroy it."
Malicious cackled while the storm outside was reaching the point of no return. "Foolish human. To think, I started eating you first. He he he. Hahaha HAHAHAHA!"
"Dark wings rise!"
She watched him transform while yawning. "I could just rewind time and kill you, but why waste my time with that pointless ability when I can just kill you, the bitch, and that boy who's about to fall down the secret elevator?"
CRASH!
"Right on time."
Natalie and Hawkmoth turned to see what looked like Cat Noir, but different.
"Ah, ok...that wasn't fun." He said while shaking his head as he saw the woman.
Malicious chuckled. "Ah, Cat Noir. A pleasure to meet you again. Albeit having two rings of destruction thanks to that other version of well…" she 'grinned' as lava began to fill the room. "Me, or just the host really I can never remember who's in control these days."
"Who are...oh." He said while looking at Hawkmoth. "Another Ladybug."
"Wrong. Names Malicious and I consume all miraculouses, kwami and all." She made a mock bow. "Now, I shall have a feast of two rings and brooches. All for the price of one."
"Sorry, can't let you do that. I don't think my buddy would taste good." He said while summoning his poles. "But one question, what are you exactly?"
She cackled before saying in a male's voice. "Abbadon."
The air became as cold as ice while the miraculouses began to shake as if they knew what the being was referring to.
She then returned to her female voice. "But that doesn't matter now. The storm outside will fuse reality and I shall have a feast to end all feasts."
"And then what?"
"Rule all reality as a god."
Cat raised an eyebrow while seeing Hawkmoth looking determined for some reason. "You created her?"
"No, she's worse than I am." He frowned. "And will destroy our world if we don't stop it Cat Noir...or what are you exactly?"
"I'm not really sure myself. Maybe Cataclysm Noir?" He said before seeing Malicious raising her claws up as the miraculous in her horns began to glow.
"Then come, face the pit of despair!" She cackled while taking flight. "And your doom!"
"Sorry, gonna have to reschedule." spoke Cataclysm Noir before he ran at her.
She produced a pole from her hand and blocked it. "That's fine, I can just follow you through time itself." She then grabbed the two poles and threw him into a wall while Hawkmoth saw her flying at him with his own cane. "But first the father shall die!"
A cloud of akuma flew around the villain as it distracted Malicious for a moment.
She eyed Natalie and cackled. "Broken goods are still edible." She them flew at her before getting bonked on the back by Cataclysm Noir. "Ah!"
"Sorry m'lady, but it's rude to leave your partner." he smirked before kicking her in the cheek.
The horn with the snake miraculous glowed as time rewind to when he was about to kick her, causing her to grab his leg.
"Nice try." She said before headbutting him into a wall as Hawkmoth appeared next to Natalie. "But I'm a god!"
"Gabriel-"
"Ssshhh." He shushed her. "I'm going to akumatize you, no restrictions. Just stop that woman before she eats the miraculous."
She looked at him in surprise before nodding as Malicious used the ox miraculous to grab Cataclysm Noir and piledrive him down a few floors.
"OW! Ooh! Eeh! Ok that's smarts!" He got out before seeing her multiplying into two and started to teleport around the room.
"Come and catch is human!"
'Ok this is getting really annoying! All nineteen miraculous?! At once?!' He thought. 'If this is Marinette, I need to get that...thing to release her! But how?!'
BAM!
And cue him getting punched from all directions before seeing Malicious and punched at her.
Only to hit a cloud of mist.
'Illusions?! Not again!' He thought while noticing Malicious was right above him with an amok right around her tail.
"Have fun with Mother Earth!" She laughed while sending the amok at the ground, causing it to turn into a massive stone golem.
"RRRRAAAAHHHH!" It cried out as akuma flew out of its mouth like a hive of hornets.
"Crap."
That was when he saw Catalyst appearing from the hole above and landed next to him.
"Double crap!"
"Language and I'm not here to fight you." She frowned. "I'm here to keep Hawkmoth safe from this woman's desires."
"RRRRAAAAHHH!" The golem roared while Malicious flew up the hole.
"Go." She said while grabbing a piece of pipe and infused it with scarlet energy, turning it into a red sword. "Stop Malicious while I deal with this sentimonster."
"Are you sure? This guy looks like he means business."
"RRRAAAAAA!"
"Just go." She snapped while the akuma started flying at them like an angry swarm of hornets. "I can handle myself."
Cataclysm Noir nodded before using his twin poles to jump right towards the hole and began to climb the walls.
(With Hawkmoth)
Malicious smirked while a set of flame covered yo-yo's with dark green energy strings swung through the air like a top. "Dodge this!"
SWISH!
He dodged the yo-yo before seeing Malicious' monkey miraculous glowing as she let out a very loud scream that shattered the glass all around him. He held his ears from the sound while trying to keep his eyes on the weapons.
Malicious appeared in front of him as the miraculous started to glitch out. "Foolish man." She grabbed him and started to squeeze his head. "You think you're a match for me? A god!"
He struggled and kicked as the woman kept on squeezing.
"Now, time to feed on your soul and miraculous!" she opened her 'mouth' while a suction sensation came from it.
'No! I can't die like this!'
She cackled before Cataclysm Noir jumped into the air and used both poles to smack her away, and out of the room.
CRASH!
"Ah...ah...ah…" Hawkmoth gasped out while the pain started to become too much for his suit to bare as Cataclysm ran after the woman. "Ah…"
(Outside)
The storm raged on as half of Paris was destroyed and the storm began to produce vast amounts of pink lightning into the air and the water. All residents in shelters while hoping things would calm down and soon.
However for our hero Cataclysm Noir, he was busy trying to catch up to Malicious, as she was flying away and hunting something very VERY important.
All the while the hero didn't notice where she was leading him.
(A few minutes later)
-Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie-
Malicious smirked before using Cat's miraculous to slash at the upper most window, revealing a very sick Marinette. "There's the Ladybug miraculous! And the source too, I'm going to enjoy this meal! Ha ha ha!"
Tikki panicked in horror before flying away as the 'villian' landed on the ground while Cataclysm Noir started to jump up the railings.
"I'm going to enjoy this~!" She 'grinned' before stepping towards Marinette and went to grab the miraculous. "Time for my meal."
That was when our hero attempted to kick her, only to jump through a hole in time to the exact moment of his kick and crushed him under her feet.
"Nice try mortal, but with all the miraculous in this vessel. I shall remain a god in the soon to be fused dimension!" She laughed while the storm turned into a bright pink color. "And soon, your world will be fused with all possible dimensions and I shall feast on your souls! Hahaha! And you CANNOT STOP ME! HAHAHAHA!"
Cataclysm Noir frowned before noticing the horns and decided to try using his ace, well aces that is on them. "Wanna bet?"
She looked at him with a raised eyebrow before seeing Cataclysm's arms forming a set of pure black energy claws as he kicked her off him.
"DOUBLE CATACLYSM!"
SLASH!
Malicious paled in horror as the attack hit her nineteen horns-
SHATTER!
Breaking them all off as they slowly turned into slag.
"N-NO!" Abbadon roared from the body as it began to leak lava and crack into pieces. "My powers! My form! NO! NO! YOU DESTROYED MY ANCHOR!"
"What was that about not stopping you? Because it sure looks like I just did." He smirked as Malicious started to crack as a dark flaming locust appeared from her 'mouth', screaming in rage.
"YOU DAMN HUMAN! I SHALL EAT YOU-" it bellowed before turning into dust as Malicious started to lose her armor, revealing a dark blue skinned succubus as the slagged miraculous began to fuse into a single dark green ring that floated into her right ring finger and shrunk to size.
"Ugh…" she groaned while falling to her knees. "What the...huh? Where am I?"
"Well, that wasn't what I was expecting."
She looked at Cataclysm Noir and blinked. "Cat? Why are you...wearing two tails? Where's Queen Bee?"
He patted her head. "I'll explain later." He then looked at Tikki. "After I find a way to stop this storm."
"C-Cat Noir? W-W-What's been happening?"
He sighed. "Different versions of Marinette have been popping up and from what that...thing said, m'lady." He pointed to the sick girl, who was really out cold. "Is the source of the storm."
"Y-"
"Yes, I just NOW learned." He sighed again. "But what's wrong with her?"
"Oh! She's been having a sudden sickness that seems to be draining away all her life force." She said. "It's been like this all day."
"Then that means I need to hurry up and find a way to end this and quick."
"Already thought of that." said the older Ladybug as all her copies appeared next to her, in either their main hero forms or their akuma/villain forms. "And we have an idea, but you might not like it Adrien."
Malicious looked up in shock. "O-Ok this is so weird!"
"It is." Ink Master deadpanned while Lady Justice nodded along with Lady Noir, Mayura and Ladybug. "Get used to it bitch."
"What's the idea?"
The older Ladybug pointed to her miraculous. "We are going to pour our miraculous energy into your Marinette, stabilizing her body and getting rid of the negative energy surrounding her body. That way the miraculous' creation ability stops fluctuating and stabilizes."
"But." Mayura said with a frown. "If we do that, we will be closing the entrance ways to our own dimensions."
"And be forced to live here." Lady Noir shrugged. "Prrrfectly fine with me, I have nothing back home."
"What?" spoke Cataclysm Noir in shock. "That's insane."
"And fucking crazy." Ink Master frowned. "But I can ALWAYS make a shop here."
"A new start would help my justice." Lady Justice muttered. "And I can judge the wicked."
"And I can marry my cat!" Ladybug grinned while hugging Cataclysm Noir tightly. "I love my Adrien, but I like this one too! He's cute!"
Mayura facepalmed at that while the storm outside started to thunder like jet engines as the main Marrinette started to cough up blood. "We better do this now before she croaks."
"COUGH COUGH!"
The older Marinette walked over as her miraculous started to glow as pink energy started to go down her arms and towards her fingers, which she placed on the girl's forehead. "As one my fellow versions, do as I do."
The others moved over and followed what she did and put their hands on Marinette's forehead.
As the energy coursed through her body, the storm started to subside as a thick pink mist covered Paris and began to rebuild and fix the damage it caused, as if it were an illusion.
(A few minutes later)
Marinette groaned while her body started to feel better as Cataclysm Noir changed back and gave the other version of his miraculous to the older Marinette, who bowed to him.
"Well done Cat Noir." She bowed. "You saved us all."
"Well honestly if you didn't pull that nifty trick, we might have all been done for." He bowed as well while feeling his pride swelling up.
"Yet you made this possible."
"How?"
She pointed to Mayura and the akuma based versions. "You helped them see the light again, thus they came to save your world. That and they really like you if they didn't try and take the miraculouses."
Lady Noir nodded. "I almost clawed them when they showed up looking to help out. But they proved me wrong."
Adiren blinked in surprise while he did not expect his actions leading to that change of heart.
"Ugh…" Marinette groaned while Adrien panicked.
"Right, she doesn't know my true identity." He muttered to himself.
"We best leave and let her rest then." The older version said before they flew or walked away, as Lady Noir held Adrien like a princess.
"Let's go!"
"Hey!" Ladybug huffed. "No touching my fiancé!"
"You snooze, you lose m'lady~"
(Next day)
-At school-
Marinette groaned while a little better, except for the fact she had a headache the size of Everest. "Ow...need aspirin." 'Still can't believe I slept through that storm.'
"You gonna be alright?" asked Tikki.
"Yeah." She groaned while noticing several students talking about yesterday's storm. "I just need a nice quiet day."
"Are you sure?" Tikki asked. "Because there's something…"
"Something what?"
"Oh nothing." She said quickly and nervously. "Just a random thought." 'She can find THAT out later.'
The girl looked confused before heading into class, only to notice that the teacher was going to announce something.
"Settle down students. I know yesterday was a dreadful experience for us all, but I have one shred of good news."
'Well that's good, I think we could all use some.'
"We have seven new students attending our fine institute." She said. "However they said they are...from the Cheng side of Marinette's family. Cousins from what I heard."
And cue the students getting interested as Marinette looked so lost.
'Cousins? I don't remember any cousins.'
"You can come in." Mrs. Bunner called out as the 'cousins' walked in.
Adrien, who was very tired at the moment, blinked in shock as he saw the other Marinettes walking in, with the older Marinette using the Fox miraculous to make herself appear about his age, Mayura wearing a darker dress, the very loving Ladybug wearing what looked like a short skirt wedding dress, Lady Justice using a lot of foundation and clay to make her body look normal, Ink Master just wearing her human attire, Malicious wearing a gothic look with a jacket to cover her wings and tail, and Lady Noir wearing his attire but with a longer braid.
"I am Li Cheng." The 'older' version bowed.
"Names Cathine Cheng." Lady Noir smirked.
"Cruella Cheng." Mayura said coldly.
"Si-Yu Cheng." Ink Master frowned. "And fuck off skinnies."
"D-Debolo Cheng." Malicious stuttered.
"Justine Cheng." Lady Justice said while glaring at Lila. "And I hate her."
"And I'm Lulu Cheng!" The loving Ladybug giggled. "And I'm sitting next to my fiancé!"
The class looked lost as 'Lulu' ran towards Adrien and kissed him on the lips.
"Love you~" she giggled.
He turned red while the rest of the class went wide eyed, especially Marinette whose jaw dropped and hit her desk.
"Lulu." 'Li' sighed as the others walked towards Adrien and sat all around him. "We discussed this. Wait until after we schedule ourselves before kissing him."
"Just wanted to show my claim." She huffed as the others started to move VERY close to the blond haired boy.
"Uh…dude?" spoke up Nino.
He slowly turned to him. "Y...Yes?"
"How did...you…"
He was about to answer back when Si-Yu placed her chest on the top of his head.
"By the way ya fucks." She smirked. "He's off the market. After all, he's our fucking boyfriend."
And cue Adrien turning so red he could put Ladybug to shame.
Justine glared at Lila and Chloe. "So don't try anything."
"Or we might be tempted to kick your pussy asses." 'Cathine' grinned as 'Cruella' and Debolo held his arms tightly while Li sat on his lap.
"Any questions?" She asked with an almost evil smirk.
Marinette slowly let that sink in before she did something unexpected. She screamed and ran out the window in a fit of broken hearted emotional distress.
CRASH!
"AHHHHHHHH!"
BOOM!
The class jumped at that while we see Tikki looking down at the miraculous user, who was in a pile of muddy dirt.
"I should've just told her to stay home." She muttered while seeing the other 'cousins' trying to kiss Adrien. "And now...she's got competition."
