Author's Note: The end is near, this long journey of almost 4 months was beautiful for me and hopefully everyone reading enjoyed it too. This is not the final chapter by the way, I don't expect this story to go past chapter 30 anymore. This has been so fun! Hope I'll create something as good as this again.
Marinette collapsed to her knees crying, not only because the love of her life just walked out on her, but also because he was right. She was only in love with what his father wanted him to be, Chat Noir was like the other main character in an anime; clearly meant for her but always making excuses. No, it isn't like that. This was all my fault, I need to find him. "Tikki, Spots on!"
Ladybug ran out of the backdoor and leaped toward civilisation from her backyard, in her mind she made a list of every place Chat could be. After checking his apartment, Alya's, the bakery, the Eiffel Tower, their romantic spot, all the bridges along the Seine and even the Louve pyramid she gave up. She stood on the tip of the glass pyramid and stared over Paris, What have I done? What if he left again? Should I check the airport? Tears fell down her face again, she had just chased off Adrien and Chat Noir again, this time there was almost no hope of forgiveness.
An akuma approached, "Nooo! Time to de-evilise!"
She missed the akuma for the first time in her life, it was her blurry vision and lack of strength and spirit. "Spots off! Take my yo-yo Tikki! Find-"
The akuma flew into her hair ribbon, her satchel was being held by Tikki which contained all the miraculous. Tikki knew what she had to do, there was no hope for Marinette now, the akuma had already infected an object, very few people have ever resisted an akuma. "So the designer girl is Ladybug, huh? Lady Misfortune! I am Hawkmoth! I'm giving you the ability of ultimate creation! Use your bad luck and unlucky weapons to murder your opponents! All I ask of you in return are yours and Chat Noir's miraculous, you can have the ultimate power back after I'm done. Do we have a deal Lady Misfortune?"
"Yes Hawkmoth! Chat Noir will pay for rejecting me! Give me the power to finally overcome him!"
Ladybug's suit inverted, it was now black on the outside with red spots. Her evil and punishing grin as well as her frightening obscure amount of power to create fear in the bravest of hearts. Tikki was able to track the power of ultimate destruction fairly easily, she flew beside him carrying a satchel.
"Tell Marinette I'm not in the mood for presents, I can't believe she sent you to find me instead of working to do it herself."
"What? You've got it all wrong Adrien! Mar-" bubbles filled her mouth.
"What the heck?"
"Just a curse, I can't say my owner's name around Plagg."
"Plagg isn't- ahh right."
"This is a serious matter! Stay focused Tikki! My master was akumatised and Hawkmoth now knows her identity and is after you now!"
"Wait what? You're lying, Marinette is too optimistic to be-"
"COME OUT KITTY! I'VE GOT AN UNLUCKY PRESENT FOR YOU!"
"Oh hell no! Are those the miraculous? I need help!"
"This is only the ones Marinette had in her satchel, the rest is in a fingerprint, voice and keypad safe that I don't even know. It also can see her and she has to be Marinette to unlock it so Hawkmoth can't get it or else he releases her akuma."
"That's good, how many do we have?"
"Only two, the horse and the dragon."
"Kagami's in Japan! Who else can-" A person perfectly capable of wielding a miraculous came to mind, "Actually, I have the perfect people in mind."
He leaped out of the school and began to head for where Max Kanté lives.
"Good luck Chat Noir, I'll come with you just in case you mess something up."
"Thanks for your faith Tikki, I'll need a bit of courage considering she's got the stronger miraculous."
"She hasn't, destruction and creation are equal."
"What would happen if I cataclysmed a lucky charm then?"
"NO! Don't do that! You'll damage the miraculouses! Maybe even destroy them!"
"What? How?"
"This act has been done before, once. One time some drunk monks made a bet; what would happen, the indestructible lucky charm is destroyed or it remains intact and the cataclysm is extinguished? What happened was Plagg and I in a kwami healing centre and a way to fix damaged miraculous was found within two months. The way to fix a miraculous was then written into the miracle book, along with power ups and information."
"What happened when someone tried to use the damage miraculous?"
"They suffered the same fate we did, but because they weren't immortal they died, slowly and painfully. A similar thing happened to the peacock miraculous when it was dropped into lava with feast then resurfaced a hundred years later."
"What about Hawkmoth's miraculous? Is that why he is insane?"
"No, Hawkmoth has complete control over what he is doing, we were able to contact Nooroo on his cycle so his miraculous isn't damaged."
"We're here, stay down Tikki."
He knocked on the door of what he thought was Max's house but a young, latino women answered the door. "What would anybody want at this hour?! Oh, Chat Noir?"
"Sorry wrong address, I am looking for Max Kanté."
"What would a superhero want with my husband at like 3am?"
"Max is your husband?"
"My name is Alice Kanté, what the hell do you want?"
"Hey honey who the fuck wants- Oh, Chat Noir?"
"Max! I'm sorry your wife had to see this, but this is probably the most important and necessary mission we've ever come across."
"Mission? What does he mean honey?"
"I was a superhero a few years back, it must be important to bring back the oldies. I'm up for it."
"Here's the horse miraculous, transform quickly. You don't have to detransform anymore because you've reached maturity so that's good."
"Kaalki, Full Gallop!"
Alice was stunned as she stared at her husband, now looking like morpheus from the matrix but with hair, minus the build too. "Max, you just changed clothes magically. What is?"
"I'll be back soon honey," he kissed her on the forehead, "Go back to bed. Pegasus needs to bring back his stride."
"Hey! That was good! We have to go, Ladybug has been akumatised."
"Wait what! I didn't know the situation was that serious!"
"You just have to promise one thing."
"What?"
"If we manage to defeat her, close your eyes when her akuma comes off. We can't afford anyone else finding out her identity."
"Won't she just go back to her Ladybug form?"
"I found out her identity, I hurt her feelings, she transformed and then detransformed and Hawkmoth must've found out she was Ladybug so it's her civilian form that was akumatised. According to her kwami, the akuma is in her hair ribbon."
"You do realise that five heroes couldn't take down Hawkmoth alone with tiny assistance of Mayura. Let alone an akumatised Ladybug, Hawkmoth and Mayura."
"Umm, that's not all."
"What else?"
"I was only able to get ahold of 2 other miraculous, the dragon and the horse, Hawkmoth is in possession of the Ladybug, Fox, Turtle, Butterfly and Peacock. But it's still 3 on 3, but miraculous wise it's 5 vs 3. And it's 4 elemental and the yin miraculous vs the yang and two zodiac miraculous. So our chances of winning are near zero without the snake."
"Ok, so according to those odds we have a 2.3-2.5% chance of victory. That leaves a 97.5-97.7% chance of losing."
"At least there's more than a one percent chance."
"True, but if Hawkmoth wins Paris is doomed anyway so what else do we have to lose?"
Chat landed on an apartment building, "Go in here, lay low. You can't see who gets the dragon."
"I will stay in this room, because it's more on the pointed side but not the corner there's a less chance of being found."
"Please don't get captured."
"Have some faith in me."
"If you have to use your power, it'll regenerate in five minutes."
After Chat left Pegasus looked around, "Where do I want to go? Let's go to a game store!"
He teleported to the store and began taking the games and stuffing them into his pockets. "I'm a superhero they'll understand."
He put 100 Euro onto the counter and went back, he went over to the freezer and ate ice-cream on the couch and turned on the TV.
Chat Noir leaped into apartment 71, the home of Myer Ancêtre-Héros. She was sleeping, he woke her up and she screamed. "Male superhero?! What the fuck are you doing here it's like 3am!"
"Calm down Myer, I remember saving you a few days ago. Ladybug has been infected by an evil butterfly called-"
"I know what an akuma is, I've been here for like a week now. Pretty hard not to know with all the craziness."
"Ladybug was akumatised an I need all the help I can get. Myer Ancêtre-Héros, here is the miraculous of the dragon which grants the power of the three elements. You will use it for the greater good."
"Seriously? Of course!"
"Once the job is done, you will return the miraculous to me, can I trust you?"
"Yes Chat Noir. I promise I won't let you down!"
Myer put the choker on and Longg appeared, "Woah what? I didn't sign up for floating wart-lava creatures."
"Greetings, my name is Longg, I am I kwami. I grant you powers when ever you say; Longg, bring the storm."
"What about my powers?"
"The elements you control are water, fire and wind. To become one of the elements you say the element followed by dragon and your body becomes that element."
"Ohhh, I get it. Longg, Bring the storm!"
"So what do I call myself?"
"How about... Tatsuo?"
"It's Tatsuo! She's going to save us! Yeah that sounds pretty good, let's go with that."
"Well Paris needs saving Tatsuo."
"Let's stop playing around and go do that."
The three heroes gathered on the roof of the apartment building when a white circle appeared in front of them, Chat Noir stopped crouching and stood up. "Bunnix? What are you doing here?"
"This event causes yet another doomsday, I swear 5 minutes ago I just saved you from like 10 years ago."
"You mean Timetagger?"
"No that was this morning."
"Yikes that's confusing, how does your brain cope?"
"It doesn't, I can't interfere but I can do this."
Another figure walked out of the portal, it was Chat Noir, bruised, bleeding and battered. "Me? Are you alright?"
"No but it'll heal in 5 minutes. I failed with my team, we were defeated by Ladybug, Mayura and Hawkmoth. Hawkmoth is wearing the turtle and Mayura is missing wearing the fox creating the most annoying illusions. I couldn't save my Pegasus or Tatsuo from their wrath, so Bunnix appeared to help the old me."
"Thank god we aren't detransformed or Plagg would be having a cheese party."
"I know right! Finally someone who understands my situation!"
"You seriously fucked up me"
"I know. You did too though."
"Fair."
"You two! Future Chat remember your mission, help the past team defeat them and then everything can be fixed. With two yangs and one yin it should disrupt the balance and boost your chances. Good luck."
"So should Pegasus and I call you Chat 1 and Chat 2?"
"I'm the older Chat so you can call me Chat."
"That's good because I wanted to be Ladybug."
"That's not right other me."
"What?! The title is up for grabs because she's now Lady Misfortune or something."
"Chat Noirs, with all do respect of the bromance of yourselves, if we don't begin our quest for victory in the next 2 minutes we automatically get a 34.2% disadvantage because they might take hostages or plant traps or think of a plan."
"We have a plan" -Chat 1
"It's to not have a plan, be the unexpected that they're unexpecting the unexpected." -Ladybug (Chat 2)
"You two- sorry one are idiots. Let's get a move on. Pegasus, you have ice-cream on your face."
""What? Shit." He wiped the dessert of and they all jumped off the building and headed for the Eiffel Tower.
"Finally! The hero has shown up to, what the fuck? Why are there two Chat Noirs?"
"I'm not a second Chat Noir! I'm from the future!" -Chat 1
"And I'm not a Chat Noir, I've taken up the roll as Ladybug!" -Ladybug (Chat 2)
"Idiots, even if there were 10 of you, you've given me enough time to come up with a plan so perfect that-"
The future Chat Noir hit him in the head with his cane, "Mom! There's a big, ugly moth in my room!"
"You dare-"
The correct timeline Chat Noir that has taken up the role as Ladybug smacked him in the ribs, "I've got the fly swatter honey!"
They both laughed until they were knocked off the building with a giant black baseball bat. "Oh no! My two black kittens fell of the couch! How unfortunate!"
"Go Tatsuo! Voyage!"
A portal appeared below Hawkmoth that sent him 10,000 feet upward, he began to slowly fall down. "Nooroo, Wayzz, Unify! Shellter!" A green ball of hexagons formed around him as he fell. "I'm going to kill that horse hero."
"Fire Dragon!"
Myer became fire as Lady Misfortune punched her through the floor. "Unlucky Charm!" An enormous water gun fell into her hands and she began shooting the figure of flame, "Water Dragon!"
Lady Misfortune gasped as Myer absorbed all the water from her gun and began to drown her, Mayura summoned a sentimonter from the shadows and it started to drink the water. "Wind Dragon!"
Tatsuo began to blow the hero become villain faster toward the concrete floor and she created a crater. It only seemed to make her angry, as if she wasn't before.
"Now you've done it! UNLUCKY CHARM!"
