"If you won't make me a Miracle then I will do it myself," Nathaniel said holding the Miraculous to himself as the magic was slowly taking over his body.
Adrien then took the initiative and attacked him taking all of the miraculous' in his hands and he felt the powers running through him before pushing Nathaniel away. Adrien gasped at feeling the power and he wanted to cry especially when his friends came up behind him.
"Adrien?" Marinette tried carefully coming down to stand in front of him.
"Stand back Marinette. I don't want to hurt you," he said as he was joined by his friends creating a wall in front of her. Gasps and shouts started floating around the Chapel as some were shouting 'I knew it', 'They are evil', & 'Don't let them get away'.
"It's OK everyone, everything is ok." She said calming everyone down as the panic was rising.
"No everything is not OK Marinette. Do you have any idea how hard it is." He said trying not to show his emotions as the power was growing.
"I do understand. Remember what I said Adrien, we are not our parents, you all have the choice of being who we want to be including you four." She tried.
"But its so hard. I don't have a choice." He said as he began to glow as the wind in the Chapel began to blow and get strong as it all whipped around Adrien.
"You do have a choice, your parents made their choices and now its time to make yours." She said giving him a look of pure certainty as she was sure of her feelings.
Marinette watched as he slowly looked around at all the frightened faces of the people he grew to know and love. Adrien looked down at the Miraculous he held and then he felt it.
"I think I want to be good." He said feeling the power change.
"You are good. I promise." Marinette said standing up as she saw the magic change from purple into a green.
"I don't want to be my Dad. I don't want to be a villain." He said calming down as the magic was subsiding with his calming feelings.
"You aren't a villain, none of you are." She said also calming down and walking up to him slowly, Adrien turned and looked at his friends who all had the same look of lost uncertainty, but they were all teary and nodded at their leader.
"Then we won't be." He said tossing the other Miraculous to Master Fu, who caught them easily.
"I won't be," Nino said coming up next to Adrien and Kneeling before Marinette
"Me neither," Kim said also coming up to kneel before his chosen ruler, Ivan following suit without saying anything.
Marinette blushed and smiled staring at her friends before looking at Adrien who stepped up and in line with his friends preparing to kneel with them.
Adrien was just about to kneel when a loud thundering noise sounded and a large purple butterfly flew in and landed in a puff of purple smoke. The crowd gasped and cowered at its arrival.
As the smoke cleared a maniacal laughter sounded throughout the chapel to reveal none other then HawkMoth.
"Dad?" Adrien said as the other Isle boys stood before Adrien quickly grasped and pulled Marinette behind him and the boys circled around her for protection.
"Hello, son, I see you already have one Miraculous so now we take the others," HawkMoth said looking at Master Fu.
"Dad I don't want this." Adrien tried holding his arm out protecting his Princess. Who held herself against his back as she laid eyes on the most evilest Villian in her Kingdoms history that she had never met before.
"You don't know what you want, boy." He said stalking up to Adrien making him back up against Marinette and wrapped his arm around her waist, Marinette felt safe with her friends as she watched with curiosity and no fear.
"I do know what I want. Have you ever once asked what I want Dad?" Adrien tried before HawkMoth took the initiative attacking his son and ripping the ring from his hand than going to attack Master Fu but only getting at grabbing the Bee miraculous before Master Fu fought back to protect the others.
"See." He said showing the cat ring and the bee miraculous.
"I am the Miraculous master," HawkMoth said feeling the magic running through his system.
Marinette felt Adrien's grasp falter against her so she took this opportunity.
"Don't falter Adrien, you don't have to follow him you can choose your own path." She said in his ear as she grasped his shoulders.
"Why did you give me a miraculous?" He asked her.
"Because it has always belonged to you. I felt it when you first arrived, it will return to you if you will it. Just be sure of yourself and your soul will call to it and it will come back to you." She explained. Adrien shuddered in breath as he watched the magic surround his father.
"Now I command, Ring to my hand." He tried holding out his hand but nothing happened making Hawkmoth laugh and Adrien cower more.
"Try again, and let your soul call to it, and make sure it's strong." She said holding herself to his back as he held her close to him. Adrien was gasping as he looked at his friends who all looked at him and nodded showing that they were there for him.
"AND NOW I COMMAND RING TO MY HAND." He said holding out his hand once more and this time his certainty glowed throughout his body letting the ring glow a bright green from HawkMoth's hand making the man stare in surprise before the ring shot from his grasp and everyone watched as the ring flew right onto Adrien's hand. Adrien felt the magic flow through him and he felt the connection it was warm, then everything glowed green around him and they all watched as a ball of black and green light shown in front of him.
Adrien gasped as Marinette smiled from behind him and HawkMoth watched in anger.
A small black creature stretched and yawned before looking around then smiling at Adrien, "I knew you were the one." The strange creature said to him.
"What are you?" Adrien said as he felt connected to the small floating creature.
"Adrien meet Plagg your Kwami," Marinette said with an obvious smile as HawkMoth was nursing his burnt hand.
"Nice to meet you, Adrien." The creature said happily.
"You too?" He questioned giving a look of shock.
"Now you need to claim your destiny and say 'Plagg, Claws out'" Marinette said pushing him forward making Adrien stumble as the Plagg just smiled at his flustered chosen.
"Plagg, Claws out," Adrien said looking at Plagg with a look of uncertainty, but then suddenly feeling magic take over, and suddenly he felt stronger than he ever as before. He was enveloped in a green light.
The crowd gasped as he changed and then fell down on one knee only now before them was the legendary Miracle Cat Noir. Cat Noir stood up slowly looking at his black covered newly clawed hands as his friends all came up to him. Adrien smiled as his friend slapped him on the back and played with his kitty ears.
"Welcome to the life of a miracle Cat Noir," Marinette said, making them all look at her, she stood there and smiled before she spoke again then all eyes went to Marinette as they heard.
"Tikki, Spots on." She said as magic then took over her and revealed herself as the local heroine Ladybug.
"Cat Noir, it's nice to meet you. I'm Ladybug your partner." She said holding out her hand and Cat felt his instincts kick into his true self. "A pleasure M'lady." He said taking her hand and kissing it.
"Oh Please. I've had enough of this." HawkMoth said before growing and turning back into a large butterfly, making everyone gasp and Chat Noir and Ladybug take battle mode.
"Don't let him scare you. He doesn't control you." Ladybug said.
"I'm with you Ladybug." He said grasping her hand his clawed one.
"Lucky Charm." Ladybug shouted throwing her Yo-Yo in the air and making a red and black spotted cage, the size of a small box appear and fall into Lady bug's hand.
"A butterfly cage?" She said looking at it and holding it up to her eye level.
"Its a little small don't you think?" Cat noir said making her smile at him, when she began to look around until a swooshing noise caught their attention as HawkMoth flew down for an attack, the people began to scatter causing chaos and panic.
Ladybug tossed her Yo-Yo bouncing it off of the walls of the chapel causing to wrap around HawkMoth's wings and immobilizing him and they watched as he fell to the ground and tried to struggle out of his bindings.
"Adrien! Son?" HawkMoth cried out reaching for him.
"Don't listen to him." Ladybug said but watched as Cat Noir walked slowly up to him as if in a trance.
"Dad?" He asked coming closer and standing just beyond HawkMoth's reach.
"Son, help me please," HawkMoth said able to get out a hand and reaching for him.
"Cat Noir, NO." Ladybug screamed as he grasped HawkMoths hand.
"CATACLYSM." Everyone heard and looked to see Cat Noirs black magic overtake HawkMoth from his hand, he tried to release his hand from Cat Noir but he had a rock like grip, then Cat noir looked back at Ladybug and shouted.
"Ladybug the cage." He said holding out his other hand as the size of HawkMoth began to shrink, making Ladybug toss the cage at her partner, he grabbed it and then waited as the magic practically disappeared and leaving a bright purple monarch butterfly to which he captured in the cage immediately and then just watched with watery eyes as it fluttered around the cage.
Ladybug carefully came up next to him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder before leaning over to pick up the Butterfly miraculous and taking it over to Master Fu as the crowd slowly began to come back out of hiding.
"I believe this belongs to you, sir." She said handing him the long-lost miraculous.
"Thank you, child. Now the butterfly miraculous has been returned," he said putting it in the ancient box, then they both looked over as a beeping noise sounded and saw the green magic cover Cat Noir leaving a sullen Adrien in its wake as he stared at the purple butterfly solemnly.
Master Fu walked over to his student that is now his new charge and sat down next to him.
"Is he ok?" Adrien asked in concern holding the cage down.
"Yes, he shrunk down to the size of love in his heart. That is what your heart told your cataclysm to do, to destroy the evil parts of your father, No? So what was left was the love he feels for his only son." Master Fu said giving light pats on his back.
Adrien stood up as Ladybug brought over a proper cage and she helped him put Gabriel in his new home and handing it back to Adrien. As his friends all came up behind him and comforted him.
"Miraculous Ladybug." She said in a gentle tone making the cage disappear and large groups of ladybugs began to swarm fixing all of the damage that was caused by HawkMoth.
"Wow. Its... " Adrien said as he and his friends all stared jovial, Marinette came up and stood next to Adrien taking his hand in hers making him look at her no longer as Ladybug.
"Miraculous." They said together showing loving and understanding smiles, she leaned into him letting him wrap his arm around her as they watched.
Adrien was standing next to his friends by the buffet and laughing as Kim and Ivan were fighting over food again while Mylene and Alix both watched while laughing, Alya and Nino were against the wall talking and laughing when the trumpets sounded making everyone look at the commotion.
"Announcing our new Ruler. Queen Marinette." The announcer said as everyone clapped and the music played while Marinette entered the ballroom, she had switched her gown from the pink lace coronation gown to a red, pink, black and gold knee-length dress with patches of lace, leather, and regal decorations and the skirt flared around her while her gold heels clacked in the marble floor, her hair was down and in lovely curls with a red streak that accented the Queen's crown on her head.
She smiled at everyone as the commotion died down and she walked with grace over to join her friends at the buffet then laughed at Kim and Alix who immediately heard her and straightened up.
"My Queen," Adrien said bowing to her and making her laugh at him.
"Mon Chaton." She said pulling him in for a hug.
"Well, guys. Is this the end?" Kim asked as the other guys came up with the girls in tow and they all wrapped up together in a group hug.
"Oh no. This..." Marinette said motioning to them and then looking at Adrien.
"...Is just the beginning." She finished before they all laughed and sang together "Oh Ey, Oh Ey, Hey."
Adrien, Nino, Kim, and Ivan were all gathered around the ancient box of the miraculous fisting his hand as the cat ring glowed making the box opened.
Kim grabbed the Monkey necklace, Nino grabbed the turtle bracelet while Ivan grabbed the Goat hair clips.
"Let's do this. Plagg, claws out" Adrien said feeling his transformation take over as the others transformed too, then looking at the mixing pot of heart-shaped candy apples for valentines day.
"Uproar." Kim said feeling the magic pulsate through him before he put his hand in the water making all of the apples turn dark red.
"Wicked ways beneath the skin, Let all who taste it now join in." Adrien sang in his sing-song voice, then laughing making the others laugh as well.
They walked calmly through the quarry and watched as all of the students and teachers were eating the apples and then they all started to act out and right in the center was a confused and scared Marinette looking around.
"Don't be scared Marinette. This was always meant to happen." Cat Noir said holding out his hand to her with a candy apple she tried backing away but was caught by Ivan and Kim, he stalked up to her as she tried to struggle her earrings were already stolen and were now in his pocket, he grasped her chin and squeezed her cheeks opening her mouth and pushed the curve of the candy apple in her mouth but she struggled as hard as she could getting the sticky red caramel on her face and on his hand to which he growled in annoyance.
"Fine you wanna play it hard." He said taking a sticky bite from the apple then pulled her in pressing his mouth against hers loving the feeling of her warmth against him but easily pushed the chewed up apple and caramel into her mouth as she squealed and struggled against him but slowly felt her calm down as the magic took effect she slackened and he pulled her into his embrace releasing her from Kim and Ivan then he felt her arms wrap around him as their mouths danced against each other spreading the caramel over their faces they stopped to breath looking at each other her eyes changed into purple as the red of the potion mixed with the blue of her eyes.
She chuckled maniacally with an evil smile, instantly waking him.
Adrien was posing in front of the fountain in front of the school as the press was taking his picture, he now wore a pastel green dress shirt, a light grey blazer, white dress pants, with white dress shoes, and his Black hair had been lightly gelled and combed so that it was no longer spiky but combed over but not flat.
"Adrien, Over here." A photographer said making him look at him.
"Only three days until the royal Cotillion. Ever think a guy like you would be a Lord of the court?" the press asked but not able to get an answer from him as another question was fired off and he heard many as he noticed Marinette was standing off to the side under a tree watching over him while eating an apple and smiling.
"How does it feel to be the most envied boy in all Paridon?"
"Do you like being a noirette?"
"Is your Dad Still a Butterfly?"
"Ok, thank you. Excuse me." Marinette said coming to his aid.
"We will let you know when and if the particular situation changes." She said with a smile as she wrapped her arm around him and he also smiled pulling her into his chest with a smile, he always felt better with her next to him.
"Queen Marinette, Did you ever think you would be with a Villian Kid?" a reporter asked making Marinette laugh and then say "We're done here."
Master Fu came up. "Ok thank you, everyone. This is still a school so if you're here then your either skipping or trespassing, so goodbye." He said motioning with his hands for them to leave.
"Ladybug, Cat Noir." Master Fu said before walking off.
"Master Fu." They said simultaneously.
"Ok well, that was fun," Marinette said laughing.
"Yeah, how about we not do that again for a while." He said laughing and pulling her in for a proper hug, they stayed like that for a good minute just enjoying the feeling of the other and the scent wafting their noses.
"Ok good you guys are here." making both of them come out of their dream worlds to see Alya and Nino.
"Its time for your fittings," Alya said before they were both dragged off.
Nino was helping Marinette by taking Adrien's measurements in their own room while Alya was helping with Marinette's gown in their room, for now, it was just the body of the gown with bits of fabric hanging off in places, as was the suit that Marinette was designing for him.
In the corner of Adrien's room was a tall skinny cage and the purple butterfly flying around with a sign "Please don't feed my Dad."
Adrien and Nino had upgraded rooms because of their new positions in the court and in the school, Considering Adrien is about to become the official Lord of the court to the Queen, Nino had become the official party planner for the school, Kim had become Captain of every sport team of the school, while Ivan was just a part of it all and especially the guys' band called the Isle boys so even though Ivan was a Loner he was still high on the school social list.
"Nino, what do you think we would be doing if we were still on the Isle?" Adrien asked looking over at his claw print hoodie he came here in.
"That's funny. Probably Lying, cheating, stealing, and causing trouble." He said writing down the measurements for the suit that Marinette was designing for him.
"Do you ever miss it?" He asked his friend.
"Dude let's not go through this again. I am happy here, were all happy here." Nino said taking the clipboard and picking up his bag meaning he was done.
"Ok," Adrien said going over to plop on his bed.
"Still having trouble fitting in?" Nino asked.
"I have no trouble fitting in everyone loves me. But that's the problem I'm the guy everyone wants to be that just happens to be from the wrong side of the bridge, and the Press won't leave me alone." Adrien said exasperatedly.
"Maybe you should talk to Marinette about this, she could probably help you with this you know?" Nino said picking up his bag and tossing it on his back making the new Noirette look at his friend.
"Yeah ok." Adrien said standing up and grabbing his bag and standing to walk to the girl's dorm with Nino.
The door was already open but they knocked anyway for permission, Alya was looking over the fabrics while Marinette was sketching.
"Come in boys," Alya said coming up to Kiss Nino on the cheek and taking the clipboard with Adrien's measurements and the base of his suit he tried on. Adrien walked up to Marinette who had already changed into a regular pink dress, he tried to look at what she was doing but she hid it.
"No, it's a surprise." She said giving him a shocked serious look that was too adorable for him not to chuckle and hug her.
"Ok." He said kissing her head then the newscast music came on.
"Oh look who is on TV," Alya said making them look over to see their newscast talking about their Kingdom tours and meeting the other royals while dining with them and Adrien making mistakes that weren't highlighted but he felt embarrassed that it was on Tv anyway and then highlighted the fact that they were Ladybug and Cat Noir.
"Yeah great," Adrien said not looking but Marinette understanding instantly as he walked away from her and sticking his hands in his pockets.
"Alya, Nino can you too give us a minute please?" Marinette said with a smile making the 2 teens in question look between them in shock then nodding in confusion but leaving none-the-less closing the door behind them.
Adrien was in the perfect position so she easily kicked off her heels and ran easily catching him by surprise by jumping on him, Adrien didn't see it coming but felt her weight against his chest and with a shriek of surprise wrapping his arms around her as they fell on her bed and rolled on the King-size mattress making him laugh as he landed on top of her then falling by her side and holding her close.
They hugged each other while their laughter died down and then just stayed in silence.
"Wanna talk about what's bothering you?" She asked looking up at him, he had his eyes closed with a smile when his dream world shattered at her question.
"Are you sure about me?" He said looking down at her.
"If I wasn't I wouldn't have given you the Cat ring or be planning your Cotillion." She said taking her hand to play with his black hair that had grown since his arrival 6 months ago.
He released her and fell back on the bed which she followed laying on his chest looking at him with an understanding look.
"Talk to me. Please." She said rubbing his cheek.
"I just feel so out of place, and I sometimes feel like I miss my life on the Isle." He said feeling water come to his eyes but shutting them to keep them in.
She wrapped her arms around his torso and hugging him.
"I understand. I always knew I would be Queen but for the longest time I never wanted it, all I wanted was to run away and never come back so that I didn't have too." She said before sitting up to lean over him.
Adrien moved his hands to behind his head to look up at her properly.
"You can always find an escape at the enchanted lake I would always go there growing up when royal life became too much." She said before rolling off.
Adrien sat up on his elbows as she walked off then smiled before following her.
