Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir: Werewolves of Paris

"So, after being turned into a werewolf." A teen told his friends over a campfire at nighttime. They all were roasting marshmallows "He ran to someone else, and bit him. He turned into a werewolf, and that new werewolf turned into a werewolf. He went to the next person, and the cycle continued, and continued, and continued until there was no one left, and all of Paris was filled with mangy, furious werewolves."

"So predicable!" Someone complained. They all looked at him. "I mean the werewolf kept biting onto people, turning them into werewolves."

"Well, that's what werewolves do." The teen told him.

"But you can't have people guess what will happen next in your story too much. That's makes it annoying, and boring."

"It's just a story, Roux!" A female teen argued at him. "That's no reason to be rude."

"I'm just giving him advice is all. Authors need to know so they can improve in their storytelling."

"He just made up the story on the the spot." She looked at him. "I liked your story, Coty. I thought it was so scary and great." Coty blushed.

"Thanks, Robine." Roux rolled his eyes.

"Good thing it's just a story, huh?" Roux's friend said to him. "Those things can't happen in the real world."

"Yeah. Good thing that everybody knows that werewolves aren't real animals." Roux agreed. Coty was confused.

"What are you talking about?" He questioned. "Werewolves are real. They're very real. The story I made up, but it could have happened. It's possible." Everybody looked at him. Robine sighed.

"Oh, Coty!" She said, sounding embarrassed. "Please, no."

"Have you lost it?! Roax demanded. "Only scared idiots believe in such things. They're not real. We're just telling ghost stories around a campfire."

"No, they're real. I haven't seen one, but they're out there, waiting to chomp their fangs down onto their next victim."

"You're full of it, they're make believe. Even Leon knows that." He looked at his friend. "Right, Leon?"

"Right, Roux." Leon agreed. "There're stupid made believe creatures from fiction." Roux looked back at Coty.

"See, Coty? I bet if you believe in werewolves, you believe in a lot of made believe figures. Like do you believe in zombies? Ghosts? Vampires? Papa Noel?" Coty nodded.

"Just because you can't see them or no one encountered them before doesn't mean they're not real. And don't mess with Papa Noel." Roux put up his hands in disbelief.

"Unbelievable; you're unbelievable!" He looked at Robine. "I bet your girlfriend doesn't believe in that baloney. Go on; ask her. See what he says. I dare you."

"Okay, I will." Coty took a deep breath, and looked at her. He hoped she believed him otherwise this'll be awkward. "You believe me, don't you, Robine?" Robine looked at him, trying hard not to hurt his feelings.

"Aw, Coty, you know I want to believe you but..."

"Say it, Robine!" Roux coaxed her. "Hurt his feelings because obviously he have to know the truth sooner or later."

"Well, Robine?" Coty wanted to know. Robine looked into his eyes. She sighed. She couldn't do it.

"No." She said. "I don't. Sorry, Coty." Coty looked shocked and hurt as Roux and Leon burst out laughing.

"Shot down by your girlfriend!" Leon said. "That has to hurt. I bet you feel betrayed, don't you? But you had to figure it out. Better now than later." He and Roux laughed some more. Robine looked at Coty, sorry for what she had done. But it was for his own good, right?Roux and Leon took out their marshmallows, turned them into S'Mores, and began eating them.

"Well, well, well," Hawk Moth said in his lair. "Looks like we have non-believers. You must feel hurt about now. That's what I'm here for, to get revenge on people who have wronged you." He turned a butterfly dark. "Go my little akuma, and evilize him." The dark butterfly flew off.

"Aren't you going to eat your S'More?" Roux asked Coty. "You're burning it, man." Coty realized he was right.

"Oh, right!" He said. He took out his burning marshmallow, blew on it, and made a S'More out of it. He didn't eat it however. He was still crestfallen on what had happened.

"Coty?" Robine spoke to him. She held her own S'More.

"Let him sulk, Robine." Roux told her. "Just eat your S'More." So she did. She still felt bad though.

Suddenly, the dark moth flew into Coty, feeding him negative energy.

"Werewolf." Hawk Moth told him. "My name's Hawk Moth. I'm here to help you out. Together we will make those nonbelievers pay! But in return, I need Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Oh, and by the way, I evilized Santa Claus himself, so he's real. Understood?"

"Understood." Coty repeated, then transformed into Werewolf. He had on a black collar. Robine saw this and screamed. Roux and Leon saw this too, and screamed as well. The newly transformed Coty jumped to his feet, and threw his S'More in the fire.

"Hey!" Leon scolded. "That's food waste. If you didn't want it, then you shouldn't have taken it. Someone else could've taken it." Werewolf lifted his head, and hollered.

"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Roux yelled. The teenagers started running for their lives as the werewolf chased them on all fours.

"Where's Coty?" A concerned Robine wanted to know.

"How should I know?" Roux asked. "I'm not in charge of him. He's on his own here. If he lives or dies, oh well, life lives on!" Robine scowled at him.

"That's mean." Roux shrugged.

"It's true. What are you going to do?" Leon then tripped on a twig. He fell to the ground. The two other teens turned to him.

"Leon!"

"We have to go, pal!" Roux told him. He was about to help him up when Werewolf bit Leon. Leon screamed. Robine gasped as the two saw their friend transform before their eyes. Leon lifted his head, and howled as well. He growled at Robine and Roux. They ran as he chased them.

More people screamed and ran with them. Leon and Coty bit people, and they bit onto people, and so on.

"Where's Ladybug and Cat Noir?" Robine questioned.

"Again," Roux said to her. "How should I know? I'm not in charge of their lives."

Marinette, Alya, and Marinette's parents were driving home from a play that they saw.

"That was a great play." Alya said. "That song that the phantom sang was hauntingly beautiful. All the songs were good. Thank you for inviting me."

"Anytime, Alya." Marinette's mother answered. "We're so glad you liked it, right sweetie?"

"Right." Her husband agreed, turning a corner.

"I was familiar with the play before." Alya admitted. "But I never knew that it took place in our home city before."

"You learn something new everyday." Marinette said.

"I guess."

A werewolf then jumped onto the hood of the family's car, and howled.

"What the...?!" Mr. Dupain-Cheng wanted to know. Everyone was now scared.

"What's happening?" Alya asked. "Why are wolves all over the place?"

"I-I don't know." A second werewolf rammed into the car. The occupants screamed. Another werewolf rammed the other side. Again, the occupants screamed.

"We should get out of here!" Alya said. Mr. Dupain-Cheng nodded in agreement, and as soon as he had an opportunity, opened the door.

"Run, kids!" Alya and Marinette didn't think twice. They got out of the car, and took off running, the parents not far behind.

"Excuse me!" Marinette shouted at someone next to her, but the person kept on running. She tried again. "Excuse me, but, what's happening?" Robine was now running next to her.

"I don't know." She answered. "One minute, my friends and I were having S'Mores at a campfire, and the next, there was a wolf with us. We ran. Our friend got bitten and transformed into the same thing. Pretty soon more and more wolves appeared. Our friend Coty disappeared.

"Disappeared?" She then thought of something, and ran to catch up to Robine. "Uh, excuse me for asking, but before Coty disappeared, was there an argument?"

"Coty was telling us a story about a werewolf, and more. He claimed they were real, and none of us believed him. There was a couple laughs. Why am I telling you this now?"

"I know it all sounds crazy, but that's all I need to know. Thank you."

"Excellent!" Hawk Moth observed from his lair. "Pretty soon, Cat Noir and Ladybug will show up. And since there's so many werewolves under my command, I'll have their Miraculouses soon enough. There's no way this plan will fail!" He burst into evil laughter.

Marinette ran behind a building. She looked out, and sighed when no werewolves were coming. She took out her purse and opened it.

"Tikki." She said to her sleeping kwami. Tikki kept on sleeping. She tapped her. "Tikki, Tikki, wake up! We have an emergency here." The sleeping kwami opened her eyes, and looked up at Marinette.

"Is the play over already?" She asked. "I can't believe I missed half of it." She yawned. "Can you tell me what happened after intermission?"

"I will later, but I need to transform into Ladybug, like now."

"Why?" She flew up and saw why, and nodded. "Okay, Marinette. Let's change."

"Tikki, spots on!" Tikki flew into her earring. Moments later, Marinette was now Ladybug. She ran after the pack of werewolves. She had no idea where Cat Noir was, but knowing him, he would be here soon.

Adrian was eating popcorn with his friend, Nino. They were at Adrian's mansion, watching a horror movie on TV.

"The original was so much better then this." Nino stated. "Not to say this is a bad movie, it's good, but nothing beats the original."

"I agree." Adrian agreed. "They should stop making remakes, and start doing original content. If it's not broke..."

"Don't fix it." They said together.

"Exactly, my friend." Adrian agreed. He popped a popcorn kernel into his mouth. Nino saw something in the corner of his eye.

"Whoa, dude, did you see that?"

"What? The keyboard began playing on it's own? Yeah, the house is being haunted by a poltergeist."

"No, not on the TV. Outside the window. I saw something hairy moving outside on all fours like a wild animal or something."

"It's probably not something to be concerned about. Let's just enjoy the rest of the movie."

"Okay. I guess it's nothing, and I'm just paranoid." Suddenly, he saw more running the streets. "Now I know I'm not paranoid!" He stood up, and walked to the windows, pulling back the curtains. "Tell me you're not seeing what I'm seeing!" Adrian gasped. He jumped to his feet, and walked to the windows to look out with his friend. "They're so many of them."

"This is not normal." They then saw a werewolf bite someone, and the transformation happened right before their eyes. The teens gasped. "This is so not normal!"

"Are they werewolves? Did that woman get turned into a werewolf? What the heck?! Werewolves aren't real." Adrian was determined. He knew what to do.

"Watch the movie. I'll be back." Nino looked at him, confused.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going to watch it with me? Should I pause?"

"No. I saw the original so I have an idea on what's going to happen next."

"Aw, yes, the fault of a remake."

"Exactly. Stay here, and be safe. I'll be back." Before Nino could ask more questions, Adrian went off.

"Plagg." He told his kwami in his ring behind a pillar where nobody could see. "Trouble's afoot. Werewolves are terrorizing Paris, I need to transform." Plagg looked at him in question.

"Werewolves? Are you sure? Why would werewolves be terrorizing Paris? Are you sure they're not just big, scary dogs?"

"Pretty sure. Nino and I just saw a lady get turned into one after she was bitten." He then showed Plagg the chaos outside. "See? I need to change now!" Plagg looked out of the windows, eyes wide with fear. He looked at his master again.

"Are you sure you want to do this? They're similar to dogs, and you know how cats and dogs get."

"That's just a stereotype. Besides, saving all of Paris goes way above my fears." Plagg shrugged.

"Okay. It's your funeral."

"Plagg, claws out!" And just like Marinette, Adrian turned into Cat Noir. The cat-themed superhero ran outside.

It wasn't long before he and Ladybug crossed paths. The two superhero teens ran side to side .

"Hey, Ladybug." He greeted. "What's going on?" Ladybug greeted him, then told him everything, even introduced Robine to him.

"Do you think Hawk Moth is behind this?" Cat Noir asked when Ladybug was done. She nodded.

"Oh, most definitely." She replied. "How else will you explain werewolves running rampant on Parisian streets?"

"Oh, yeah, stupid question."

"MARINETTE!" They heard Marinette's father yell. "MARINETTE, where are you?!" The two supers looked and saw in horror as he was bitten, and transformed. His wife was with him, screaming in utter terror.

"NO, DAD!" Ladybug yelled. Cat Noir looked at her.

"Dad?" He asked. Ladybug realized her mistake.

"I mean, no, someone's father. Or at least I assume it's someone's father. She...or he must be very worried right about now."

"You're right about that. I know h..."

"What?"

"I mean I know that his daughter or son misses him...assuming he's a father. He seems like the father type, but that could be anybody." Marinette gave a nervous laugh.

"Right."

Suddenly, Werewolf bolted as if from nowhere. This made Robine scream.

"It's the beast that ruined our campfire!" She explained. "He's the only one with a collar so I know it's this ugly creature." Ladybug observed the collar. She leaned towards Cat Noir.

"The akuma must be..."

"In the collar?" Cat Noir questioned. "I know. I'm one step ahead of you. Besides, with that collar, he sticks out like a sore thumb." Werewolf looked at Cat Noir and Ladybug. His yellow eyes focused on them, growling.

"This is your chance, Werewolf." Hawk Moth told him inside his mind. "Steal those Miraculouses!" Werewolf charged towards Cat Noir.

"Whoa, here I go!" And with that, he started running for his life. Ladybug panicked for her partner.

"CAT NOIR!" She screamed. Thinking quickly, she pulled out her yo-yo, and threw it at the animal while holding onto the string. The other end of the sting wrapped around the wolf's tail. Ladybug cheered to herself. "YES!" She screamed again as the wolf ran, dragging her all over. "Bad dog, bad dog, bad dog!"

After a few blocks, Ladybug lost her grip, and face-planted on the sidewalk. She got herself back up. She saw Werewolf lift his leg, and relieve himself on one of the legs of the Eiffel Tower. She was disgusted by this. She also felt that this was a bit disrespectful. She picked up her yo-yo from where it fell, and ran after when Werewolf started running again.

She noticed her surroundings a while later. They were headed towards the Catacombs of Paris.

Cat Noir hid behind a skull pillar inside of the catacombs as he transformed back to Adrian.

"Can we leave now?" Plagg pleaded. "I don't want to deal with this demon dog anymore. Ladybug can handle this."

"No." Adrian told him. "We have to make sure that everyone in Paris is saved, and Hawk Moth's plans fail. We can't give in to fear."

"I'm not scared. I just want to not do this anymore." Adrian arched an eyebrow.

"Plagg!" Plagg sighed.

"Fine; you got me."

"Don't worry, pal. I'll be with you every step of the way." Plagg rolled his eyes.

"Oh, that's so reassuring."

"Plagg, claws out!" Once again, he transformed onto Cat Noir.

Ladybug was disgusted again as she entered when she saw skulls from all around. She hated this place. It gave her the creeps. Why did they have to go here of all places?

"Stop right there, Werewolf!" Ladybug called to him. Werewolf just ran on, tail whipping a skull at Ladybug's feet. Ladybug ran after Werewolf again, careful not to crush the skull with her foot. She pulled out her yo-yo again.

"Lucky charm!" Her lucky charm gave her a silver whistle. "A whistle?"

"It's silver." Cat Noir told her, hiding behind another pillar made out of skulls. She looked at him. "A werewolf's weakness? And a dog's weakness, a dog whistle."

"Of course! Thanks Cat Noir. Good kitty." Cat Noir smiled.

"Thanks, I am a good kitty, aren't I?"

"Don't push it."

"Okay." Ladybug was about to blow the whistle when she got an idea. She looked back at Adrian again. "Okay, while I blow this thing, I need you to rip the collar off of his neck."

"Yes, mil'lady." She looked at the snarling wolf, determined, and blew on the whistle. The werewolf yelped in fear, and covered his ears with his paw. Adrian ran towards the canine.

"No!" Hawk Moth yelled. "Fight this, don't give in!" But the noise and the sight of silver was just too much. The moment after Adrian ripped the collar off, a dark butterfly flew out. Ladybug captured it. She opened it to release it.

"No more evil doing for you little akuma." The akuma turned back to a normal butterfly and flew off. Werewolf turned back to Coty again who was confused.

"Where am I?" He asked, looking around. "Why are all of these skulls looking at me?" The two superheroes did a fist bump together.

"Pound it!" They said at the same time. Panic was in Coty's voice.

"Guys, I'm scared! These are real human skulls; it's disturbing!"

Everything returned to normal, and Parisian citizens returned to their regular lives as if nothing had happened.

"Ugh!" Hawk Moth said in frustration. "I always lose. I don't get it. This might be a sign to give up. But it just means to try harder. I'll get your Miraculouses one day, Ladybug and Cat Noir. One day!"

"Thanks for saving us." Coty said to Ladybug and Cat Noir when he, his friends, and the superheroes were outside the catacombs. "I can't believe I was turned into a werewolf."

"Well, it's kind of our jobs." Ladybug told them.

"Yeah." Cat Noir agreed. "Saving the people of Paris is what we do best, and I... we look good doing it." Ladybug saw that she was going to change back soon.

"We should get going. It was really nice meeting you." They said their goodbyes, and the teen supers were off.

"So, do you believe in werewolves now?" Coty asked his friends. All of them nodded without hesitation.

"Sorry we didn't believe you." Robine said. Coty smiled.

"Good, glad to hear it."

"Papa Noel is baloney though." Roux said as they started walking off.

"Dude," Leon told him. "Don't upset him, he might turn into a werewolf again!"

"Well, it's true."

"You guys believe what you like." Coty said. "And I'll believe what I like and nobody gets hurt, deal?" The friends agreed.

Cat Noir and Ladybug transformed behind separate buildings. Cat Noir said he had to go back to Nino, and make sure he was alright. They then went off. Marinette ran to hug her father, was reunited with her family and Alya. They all went off again. Life in Paris once again went back to normal...until the next time Adrian and Marinette will have to don their superhero outfits once again.
