"Girl, where have you been? You left us for like a few minutes and we thought you ditched us." Alya said as she looked at Marinette who had rand up to them.
"I was looking at the previous holders of the Miraculous."
"Alright girl. You're off the hook for now."
They entered a room with people that were very familiar to them. Statues of their parents in their stance of evil. Their parents right before their eyes. Realistic too.
The four kids looked at them. Each having their own thoughts and reactions.
"Mommy?" Alya asked, looking at her mother's statue.
Lady Wifi stood in front of a mirror that had a reflection of a phone. A mix of the outfits were put on her. Unlike how her Lady WiFi was back on The Isle.
"Killer." Ivan said, looking at his father's statue.
Stoneheart looked like he was on a rampage. His eyes still glowing and teeth wide open. It was rather strange to see him in his scariest, truest form.
Nathanial stared at his father's statue. "I'll never forget father's day again." the hairs on his arms rose up at the thought of the memory.
Animan had multiple forms. But how they put him, it was in his panther form. A black panther. The statue sat.
As all of them just stood there, staring. Ivan looked at all of them. "Well, the Miraculous jewels aren't here." Ivan clapped his hands once and broke their attention from the statues to them.
"Let's go." he said simply.
Except for Marinette, all of them slowly backed away. And ran off behind Ivan.
Marinette took a few steps towards Miss Fortune. The clothes that she saw on her mother were exactly the same as on the statue, but a darker red.
"Evil Like Me"
Words echoed through her mind before she left the Isle.
'Future of the free world rests on your shoulders. Don't blow it.'
Marinette was now a few feet away from the statue of her mother, Miss Fortune.
"Look at you.
Look at me.
I don't know who to be, mother."
The statue stared at her as she paused.
"Is it wrong?
Is it right?
To be a thief in the night?
Mother..
Tell me what to do."
Alya realized that Marinette was still in the statue room and went back to her. "Mari, come on, girl." She ran back with them.
Marinette looked at Alya, but with a transformation of black magic, the statue of her mother came alive. The staff with the butterfly fake. But the statue, quite alive.
Miss Fortune cackled evilly.
Marinette turned to her.
"Don't be so serious, darling." she was still laughing and was also hunched over. "I'm sorry." she snapped her fingers and regained her posture.
"I was once like you my child.
Slightly insecure."
Miss Fortune gave a hand gesture to her daughter for her to come to her, but closer.
Marinette came closer. She sat on the stairs and looked up at her.
Miss Fortune came down a few steps to Marinette.
"Argued with my mother too.
Thought I was mature."
She sat a few higher steps than Mari. Miss Fortune got more comfortable kicking her leg out as Marinette backed away a bit. Sge also leaned forward.
"But I put my heart aside and I used my head."
Miss Fortune tapped her head and directed her attention back to her daughter. She stood up.
"Now I think it's time you learned what dear old mother said."
Her mother tapped her forehead, which startled Marinette.
"Don't you want to be evil like me? Don't you want to be mean?"
Miss Fortune went down all of the stairs and twirled her stick.
"Don't you want to make mischief your daily routine?
Well you can spend your life attending to the poor.
But when you're evil, doing less is doing more.
Don't you want to be ruthless and rotten and mad?
Don't you want to be very, very good at being bad?"
Miss Fortune moved around her daughter and kept twirling her stick. She pointed it at Marinette who backed a little and put it down on the ground.
"I have tried my whole life long to do the worst I can.
Clawed my way to victory.
Built my master plan."
Now, Miss Fortune sat next to Marinette and she listened. She stood behind her.
"Now the time has come my dear.
For you to take your place."
The stick that Miss Fortune held in her hand hit the back of Marinette's back and she was startled once again.
Marinette stood up.
"Promise me you'll try to be an absolute disgrace."
She pushed her daughter aside. Marinette took a step aside.
"Don't you want to be evil like me?
Don't you want to be cruel?
Don't you want to be nasty and brutal and cool?
And when you grab the Miraculouses, that's when your reign begins.
Who wants a villain without a sack of sins?"
Marinette watched her.
"Don't you want to be heartless and hardened as stone?
Don't you want to be finger licking evil to the bone?"
Out of nowhere, black fire surrounded them.
Miss Fortune started floating too.
"This Is not for us to ponder.
This was preordained.
You and I shall rule together.
Freedom soon regained."
She slowly floated to her daughter's side.
"Mistress of the universe.
Powerful and strong.
Daughter.
Join me.
Hear me.
Help me.
Join me.
Won't you sing along?"
Both mother and daughter stood in front of Miss Fortune's platform. Her mother held her stick out for Marinette to hold with her.
"Now we're going to be evil.
It's true.
Never going to think twice."
Marinette looked at her.
"And we're going to be spiteful."
She then pulled the stick to her side.
Miss Fortune pulled her stick to her side and looked at her daughter.
"Yes spiteful.
That's nice."
She pulled her stick back in her hands.
Her daughter put her hands off as she did.
Miss Fortune was still beside her daughter.
"In just an hour or two.
Our future's safe and sure.
This mother daughter act is going on a tour.
If you want to be evil and hopeful and free.
Then you should thank your lucky stars that you were born the girl you are.
The daughter of an evilicious villain like me."
Miss Fortune floated in the air as black flames surrounded her. She was cackling once again and looking at Mari.
Marinette looked up at her.
Alya went back to where Marinette was. "Hey. I found the Miraculouses. Let's go." Alya went back to Ivan and Nathanial.
The bluenette looked back at her mother. Who was now a statue and in the same stance. She stared at the statue for a few seconds before joining with her friends once again...
