Rated T because there is presented some strong language.
Part #2. Tikki's story. Parents emotions. Realizations. Even villains admitting their mistakes.
"HOW?!" All four heroes shouted.
"We have seen that akuma flew away from her window! We thought that she resisted for Hawk Moth and that she is sitting here and maybe crying." Nino said.
"You don't know what deep hole we have got right now." Tikki said sadly. "I will tell you all things that I know now."
And she began her story.
Hawk Moth asylum, ten minutes ago.
"Well, what can I see? Full field of anger is laid in my favorite school. But there are more strong emotions from one person. They are the strongest emotions that I had ever seen! Anger, upset, despair from fact that her friends won't believe to her. She is gonna be the strongest villain that I had ever made. You resisted from me some times but today you are lost. Flew away my little akuma and settle in her! Miraculous Five, your defeat is coming!"
Francoise-Dupont school, ten minutes ago.
Marinette was running. Tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling on the earth while she was running. She heard her friends shouted something to her but she didn't listen to them. They will still believe in Lila's lies and she couldn't even tolerate for this. She didn't see exit from this situation.
She opened her house's door fast and closed it with noise. She ran up to her room and didn't paying attention on her worrying parents. She wanted to stay alone.
She closed her trapdoor. She was alone now. Almost…
"Marinette! Please calm down, if you will let your emotions win over you you would be a perfect target for Hawk Moth!" Tikki tried to return her Marinette. Marinette, who always looked to her fear in face; Marinette, who always tried to find something positive in bad situations; Marinette, who was truly hero for Paris as Ladybug.
"I'm sorry, Tikki." Tikki didn't understand at first what happened but then she saw that Marinette pulled out her earrings and hiding them in her purse. "Tell our team what happened. They should know everything. After all of those days of confidence I feel that I was on the edge of my resist and fell from this edge. I'm sorry Tikki. Please, help them stop me. Show them a way to Master Fu. He will help them. See you later, Tikki. Don't follow me right now."
"MARINETTE!" Tikki shouted in pain when she saw that she took Adrien's lucky charm and went to her balcony. She didn't listen her Chosen and follow for her. She hid behind Marinette's layer and looked in pain how Marinette caught akuma in bracelet and then transforming in… Marinette?
"I'm Copier now, huh?" She said with ice in her voice. "Well, I don't like when somebody is trying to play with me like I'm his toy. Hawk Moth, this present is for you." Her smile was very evil and her laugh… Tikki shook in fear. Then her fear grew when she saw that Marinette transformed into…
HAWK MOTH?!
Yes, she transformed into Hawk Moth. But she could still see Marinette's personal touches in this Hawk Moth. She still was a woman, she still saw her pigtails and she still had got her voice and her bracelet. Then Tikki saw that she… No. Tikki couldn't believe to her eyes.
Marinette created new akuma!
"I feel his anger that he can't control me. He is a cool target. Flew away my little akuma and settle in him!" Tikki heard her chosen. Then she saw that akuma flew away "And I should move on to meet one little liar…"
Marinette again make transformation and became… No, how is it possible to be?
LADYBUG?!
Then Tikki glanced to akuma because it flew away not so far. It still was there and was controlling by Marinette.
"Hawk Moth, Lila, what did you done both?! You put us in really dangerous situation!" Tikki thought herself.
"It is time to pay a visit to Miss Volpina." Ladybug laughed darkly. Then she threw her yo-yo and gone away to school. Then she changed her target. At first she needs to find a safe place where she can hide from Miraculous Five, Copier thought herself.
Room was full of silence. Room was full of sadness worry. What they supposed to do without Marinette? She always came to rescue when they all was in danger and now she was gone. Suddenly silence was broken by Adrien's crying.
"M-Marinette!" His tears wouldn't stop flowing from his eyes.
"Adrien, calm down. We're feeling the same right now. But while you are crying you can't help her by nothing." Chloe said. They all heard her worry in her voice no matter how carefully she conceals it.
"Well, there is only one plus in this situation." Nino whispered to Alya.
"Which?" She looked shocked.
"Our golden boy finally realized his crush on Marinette."
"Yes, but it is only one plus in this whole situation!"
Suddenly Plagg whispered, "Kwamies, hide!"
"What happened? We heard that somebody is crying here." Tom was the first who climbed in Marinette's room. Sabine followed him.
"It is Adrien." They answered and showed to Marinette's parents Adrien who was laid on the floor and was sobbing while he was hugging Marinette's cat-themed pillow.
"Wait a second. Where is our daughter?" Sabine noticed that there was no Marinette in the room.
"We think that she has been akumatized because all her things are there." Adrien said deafly.
Tom and Sabine both felt weakness in their legs. After few seconds they both were sitting on the floor and hugged each other.
"Our daughter… Why did it happen?"
Adrien, Nino, Alya and Chloe exchanged by glances. They decided to tell the truth.
"We've got one girl in our school… Her name is Lila Rossi…"
"Don't tell me anymore. I've heard enough. Where is she now?" Tom was looked very angry.
"Tom, if you will go now to take revenge at her it wouldn't help to… Mari." Adrien singled out her name. "We all know each other for a long time, Nino knows her longer then I or Alya or Chloe. But we can with a confidence that she wouldn't like to see how her parents make violence to another person."
Sabine caressed Tom's hand and he calmed down. "You are right, Adrien. She wouldn't see us like that. You better go to school now and tell your friends… this. I will conduct you to school. Objections won't be accepted. And don't worry: I will conduct you to entrance of school. Then I will come back here. Maybe we would meet our daughter here and we would talk and she will come back to us. I hope on this."
Tom, Sabine, Nino, Alya, Chloe went down. Nobody didn't notice that Adrien stayed a little to capture Marinette's purse with Tikki and Ladybug's Miraculous in it and only then he went down. Tom said goodbye to them after he conducted them back to school and couldn't resist his tears from his eyes. "Please, save our daughter if you can." He said to them and then hugged each. Hugs were new to Chloe but she accepted them.
When Tom hugged Adrien he whispered to him, "Maybe it would help with comeback of mine daughter: she has got a crush on you since your second day in school. Maybe if you will remind it to her you will return her to us."
He left Adrien in shocked state, waved to others and gone back to his bakery. Alya, Chloe and Nino turned to Adrien with curiosity: what did Tom whisper to him?
"I'm full jerk. I'm full fucking jerk." Adrien whispered still in shock state.
Hawk Moth Asylum, five minutes after Copier's appearance.
"Ugh! Why I can't control her? Why she didn't listen to me? Did I make a mistake? What's wrong with this akuma?"
He was so passionate on this fact that he didn't noticed black with purple butterfly.
"Dark wings fall." Gabriel stood in the middle of the room and realized which catastrophic mistake he has done.
He noticed in this girl love… This wasn't noticed by object of this love. She loves his son, Adrien. And now he put him in danger for villain, who was unstoppable now because…
She was Ladybug.
He noticed it in those few seconds when she was under his control. And now he couldn't call back akuma. His son is in danger. He can't lose him after Emilie. He will not survive after this.
"Master, what akuma is doing here?" Nooroo interrupted his thoughts.
He turned back and saw akuma. "But… I didn't create it… Oh no," Gabriel whispered in disbelief. "It came to me. Nooroo, I rid you. Find Miraculous Five and the Guardian and tell them who I'm and give to Guardian my miraculous. It will help them to stop me and Copier. Because… I think I can't resist for it. And I want to save my son."
"Yes Master." Nooroo answered. He didn't believe to his ears: after so many months Gabriel saw the light and it happened after his mistake. It was strange but Nooroo was proud that Mr. Agreste can admit his mistakes and think about defending others. He picked up Butterfly Miraculous and flew away to Master Fu.
Meanwhile akuma landed on Gabriel's necktie and he heard voice of this girl who won his derby hats school competition.
"My greetings, Voice of Truth…"
