Chapter 7

Alya couldn't believe her eyes. The girl she had been knowing since primary school, the girl who she had considered her best friend, the girl who she thought she had known all about was the superhero Ladybug! Was she angry? Hell yes, mainly because she wasn't told about the secret. However, she was feeling an emotion stronger than anger take over her. That emotion was pride, she couldn't believe HER Marinette was the one going around Paris saving people and defeating akumas. She walked over to Marinette and gave her the biggest hug she could.

"W-Wha Alya your..your not mad?" Alya could almost laugh at the shock Mari had on her face. It was priceless and she so wished she had her phone on her.

"No, I am mad, but I'm also very proud of you," she said as she then proceeded to tussle her hair. " who knew shy Mari was a superhero."

Nino came up to them and Alya couldn't tell what he was feeling by his blank expression.

He then suddenly raised his hand and made it into a fist.

"Respect Marinette." he said as he smiled brightly.

Marinette smiled back and followed through with the fist bump.

"Thanks Nino!"

Everything seemed fine until Luka spoke up.

"How can you all be okay with this?"

"What do you mean?"questioned Nino.

"She lied to you and me. For 2 years I've thought of Marinette as a normal girl, but to find out she is Ladybug!? How can you be okay with this, how can you trust her?"

"It doesn't matter if we're okay with it or not. Marinette risks her life everyday to save the citizens of Paris. She's saved us to many times to count. And even if she didn't she is still my best friend." Alya said coming to her defense. How could Luka say that. This was Marinette they were talking about. Trust is something that will always be there.

Nino looked at his girlfriend and saw the quickly rising fury. He silently made sure he was behind her before she blew up.

"Guys wait! We shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves." Marinette said as she tried to stop pandemonium. She was saddened by what Luka said but they had bigger problems.

Master Fu decided it was time he'd jump back into the conversation.

"Marinette is right, right now we need everyone to fight this ancient evil."

" I don't think I could work with someone I don't trust." Luka said.

"Then leave." Alya angrily said. She could see how Marinette flinched at his words and it made her even angrier.

"No, we need everyone here for this. Each of you were chosen to be holders of the Miraculouses.

If you don't work together then Paris will suffer."

They all had to admit they didn't want that to happen.

"Fine...I'll stay." Luka said begrudgingly.

"Good.. now you all need to know what your up against."

Master Fu pulled out the fox miraculous and the turtle miraculous and gave them to both Alya and Nino. He then went over to sit down in a chair so he could tell them the story.

" A long time ago the miraculouses were created. The guardians, an ancient organization, was created to protect the miraculouses from any harm and evil. The guardians had one goal, to destroy evil with the power of the miraculous. Somehow down the line one of the guardians deviated from that goal. They sought to use the miraculous for their own personal gain."

"Like an ancient Hawk Moth?" Nino questioned.

" Something like him. However, unlike Hawk Moth this guardian absorbed and captured miraculouses, essentially killing them and taking their power. All miraculouses originally had the three minute limit but when he absorbed them he took away that limitation and became all powerful. He was known as the Kuroi Sora. He eventually made his own organization of anti guardians and nearly killed all the guardians. Me and a few survivors were able to seal him away and crush his organization."

"Then what exactly are we facing? If this Kuroi Sora is sealed away." Marinette questioned.

"The seal has been broken. That's why I was attacked the other day. They were trying to kill the last guardian."

Everyone tried to soak in what Master Fu told them. In all honesty they had a hard time believing it.

"So how will we find this Kuroi Sora?" Marinette asked.

"Don't worry about that."

Suddenly someone in a black hooded robe walked into the the bakery. The stranger went up to the bar stool and sat down in one of the high chairs.

"I knew Nino and Alya were miraculous holders. But to find out you as well Marinette...that's interesting."

Marinette watched as the hooded figure traced their fingers along the barstool. There was something in their voice that was extremely familiar but she couldn't place it.

"Who are you...and how do you know us?" she was prepared to transform again if she had to fight, it was just sad it was in her parents bakery.

"I can't believe you've forgotten about me….Princess."

Marinette felt her heart stop at the old nickname. She finally realized why she remembered that voice. It was the voice that belonged to her partner, the voice that belonged to the boy she loved. She wanted to cry so so bad.
