Author's Note: Hey everyone! I'm quite sorry I didn't post for a month or so. I lost someone I loved dearly, so I had to put aside the story for a while to deal with the grief and issues thrown my way. Again, so sorry. But, since I'm back, I decided to write another chapter. Happy reading!
Ladybug whipped behind her to see a very familiar face.
"Alya, I-I mean Rena?"
Alya had a now black costume similar to Rena Rouge. Her fox ears were now a black and her mask had a black and red to it, the red matching Alya's crimson eyes. Her gloves were a dark red as her bodysuit and hair was a black void.
Alya cackled and pointed to her once most beloved idol. "I'm sorry," she said in a mocking tone "But Alya isn't here, and neither is Rena Rouge, it's Rena Rage sweetheart."
"Rena! Snap out of it!" Ladybug shouted, the shaking forcing her to the ground.
"Hahaha! You think I'm going to give up my akuma just like that?" Rena Rage snapped, flicking her phone charm that was wrapped around her finger "Well then, you have another thing coming. I'm going to squash you just like the pesky insect you are!" Rena Rage stomped her foot onto the ground, her now red eyes flicking with insanity as a smirk appeared on her face.
"Rena! Stop!" Ladybug pleaded as she tied her yoyo around Rena Rage, making Rena drop to the floor onto her knees.
"Never, Ladybug. Because Hawkmoth gave me enough power to rule the world, make anyone shake before me. This power was beyond what you could ever give me. I can shake the ground and can make illusions at rapid pace without having to recharge my kwami or wasting it for a stupid akuma. Me and Hawkmoth will rule the world, and no insect, cat, or any hero will stop us from achieving our goal. I will get your and Chat Noir's Miraculous and I will be unstoppable!" Rena Rage yelled, the ground shaking even more.
"Have fun, little coccinelle, because this is the last time you will see your family or friends ever again, just like how I'm never going to be Rena Rouge again." Rena Rage laughed, as she pointed to the ground.
Ladybug lost focus on Rena Rage as she untied her yoyo quickly and flew out of the spot before the ground swallowed her up. Rena Rage jumped up at Ladybug, flute in hand as she swung it at the spotted heroine. Ladybug dodged multiple times before she realized she was caught in a trap.
"Bye-Bye little insect!" Rena shoved Ladybug into the ground before swinging her flute right at her head, eyes wide with sick amusement.
As Ladybug prepared for the blow, closing her eyes tightly, she heard an oof and the sound of metal clanging against something hollow.
Ladybug gasped as her eyes sprung open, seeing a very angry looking Chat and an unconscious Rena Rage on the ground.
"C-Chat?" Ladybug stuttered, before brushing herself off.
His eyes turned quickly from anger to soft empathy as he ran to Ladybug, hugging her tightly.
"Are you okay? I mean like physically and emotionally because who wouldn't be when one of the heroes just almost killed them but," Chat Noir rambled as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Ladybug chuckled a small laugh before looking at Chat thoughtfully, "Thank you Chat."
"No problem milady." He bowed before kissing her hand.
Ladybug quickly pulled her hand away and wiped it off on her suit. "I have to call Lucky Charm before I purify the akuma. I think it will be a little while before she wakes up." She said, pulling out her yoyo. "I think it is in her ladybug charm wrapped around her finger." Ladybug replied.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted, a swirl of magical ladybugs swirling around a spotted item.
"A mirror? Ah well, Miraculous Ladybug!" The magical swirl of ladybugs whipped around the city, repairing all that the akuma had done.
As Rena Rage started to stir, Ladybug asked Chat Noir to Cataclysm the phone charm.
"You got it Milady! Cataclysm!" Chat Noir shouted, turning the ladybug phone charm to ash.
Out of the ash emerged a familiar purple butterfly, trying to escape.
"Time to de-evilse!" Ladybug said as she swung her yoyo to catch the akuma.
"Gotcha!" The spotted heroine exclaimed; the butterfly trapped in her spotted yoyo.
"Bye-Bye little butterfly!" Ladybug whispered softly as Rena Rage turned into an awake, flustered Alya.
"See you bugaboo!" Chat Noir shouted with a little salute before using his baton to go home.
"W-What happened?" She questioned, before looking at her phone charm laying on the ground beside her phone.
"I'm so sorry Ladybug!" Alya said, grabbing her phone and hugging Ladybug with all her might.
"It's alright Alya. But, why were you akumatized?" She asked, putting her hand on Alya's shoulder.
"I-I heard you replaced me and I-I figured I wasn't going to b-be Rena Rouge a-anymore. T-that the n-new fox hero i-is Kitsune." Alya's voice broke into sobs.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you before I replaced you. But I can't use you because Hawkmoth knows your identity. There is also another reason, I can't trust you to tell the truth or to keep someone else safe." Ladybug told her sorrowfully.
"Huh? Why?" Alya asked, confused.
"I saw the interview you posted on the LadyBlog. It needs to be taken down." Ladybug explained, an annoying beep coming from her earrings.
"With Lila? Pssh. I know she is lying. I was just posting it for the views." Alya said, quickly changing her demeanor and shrugged at Ladybug.
"You're doing it for more views?" Ladybug asked, confused.
"Yeah. There is a lot of idiots in the world, but most of them are in Paris, you know? And they'll never find out. Just like the idiots at my school." Alya said with a prideful smirk.
"…This is why you will never ever get a Miraculous again Alya, and by the way, you're livestreaming all this on the LadyBlog. Have a good day, Cesaire." Ladybug waved and flung her yoyo to the nearby rooftop, gracefully soaring like she had wings.
Alya looked at her phone to see Ladybug was telling the truth and panicked as her true colors were revealed to all Parisians. She definitely wouldn't be popular at school tomorrow.
Ladybug felt a triumphant smirk spread across her face as she ducked into an alleyway and a pink flash surrounded her as her transformation dropped.
"Good job Marinette! You handled it better than I thought you would!" Tikki smiled as she ate her cookie.
"Thanks, Tikki." Marinette nestled the tiny god in a small hug.
However, unknown to Marinette and Tikki, someone was watching them with a smirk. "Found you, Princess."
End Note: Yes, I am leaving this at a cliffhanger. So, what? Sue me. Actually, please don't. I really don't want to end up broke. But I warned you guys that this is class bashing. So, sorry Chat Noir lovers! In the next chapter will be more Chat Noir bashing, and possibly a redemption for someone in the class? Guess you guys have to find out what happens next! Have a great day/night everybody! - Mrs. Nimeing
