Miraculous Switch ch. 3 Not all hearts are stone

Hello all! And look at this, I've posted another chapter for you guys! After I get home from work, I've been super stressed out so I used writing as a way to help me destress after a tough day at work. So now I'm thinking about possibly updating every Monday and Thursday, however it would really help if you guys reviewed! So don't forget to read and review once you're done with this chapter!

"Trixx!" Marinette panicked. "I can't do this. I really can't do this."

Okay, okay. Deep breathing exercises, everything would be okay. She'd be fine. She's totally not going to die today. Trixx wouldn't let anything bad happen to her.

"Citizen's of Paris! Stoneheart is heading to the Montparnasse tower. Please remain indoors until the commotion has passed."

"Wait a second," said Marinette, leaning closer to get a better look at the news feed. "That—That's Alya! She's following Stoneheart, she could get hurt!"

She grabbed her flute and imagined it stretching before placing it from one of the open library windows towards one of the buildings across the street. Slowly climbing onto the window ledge she quickly darted across the flute before grabbing it and jumping, using it to further propel herself and land onto the rooftop of the building after. Gasping in surprise when she saw a building topple over onto the street. Narrowing her eyes she hurried in that direction.

"Kim! So, Who's the wuss now?" demanded Stoneheart, from on top of the soccer stadium where most of the students were stretching. As he jumped down many ran away in fright leaving Kim to stare at Stoneheart in growing horror before attempting to run away.

Quickly Marinette blew into her flute and produced a flock of doves that she sent to block Kim from Stonehearts view. Jumping down she wrapped an arm around his waist and whispered "hold on and stay quiet!" before running towards one of the stadium exits. Turning around she noticed Stoneheart destroying most of the birds.

Bringing her flute back towards her mouth she blew a sharp note into it and smirked as multiple copies of herself appeared. Giggling she walked towards Stoneheart and said, "You know, it's really not polite to pick on people who are smaller than you?"

"Well I guess you're talking about yourself, trying to outnumber me."

"Ha!" Marinette and her copies laughed, "Look at you trying to play the victim, you destroyed an entire skyscraper. You don't deserve the right to act all high and mighty." She grabbed her flute with both hands, she and all of her copies charged at Stoneheart before quickly jumping back as he swung on of his arms like a baseball bat.

"Yes! A miraculous has been activated and everything is going according to plan! The fox is fighting my supervillain and soon her miraculous will be mine and she will be destroyed!"

"Quick! Distract Stoneheart while I bring forth a perfect arena," Marinette demanded, she brought her flute towards her mouth and jumped upwards having large trees spring from the ground and high grass to block her from Stoneheart's view.

"Okay Marinette," she whispered, "find the akuma. It can't possible be that hard." She eyed Stoneheart as he was fighting with her mirrors and gasped, "His fist! He has to have the akuma hidden inside his fist, but how can I get him to drop it?" She saw one of the mirrors attack Stoneheart's open side and screamed when he grew in size and height. As another went to strike she shouted "No! Don't attack him, he'll get bigger. Distract him and make him run!"

She laughed as they all darted across the tall grass and towards the trees located near the end of the soccer field. Now how to get him to open up his fist. She darted through his legs and ran towards the soccer goal. Hitting a few quick notes on her flute she had another two clones made from two of the posts holding up the goal. Crouching down being a tree, she watched as Stoneheart decimated through her illusions, tearing through the trees and ripping apart her clones.

Bringing up her flute she shouted, "Hey! You big ugly lump of charcoal, let's see how you can handle this." Watching as her words came out of the mouth of one of the newer clones and breathing fast she had one of the clones jump towards Stoneheart and giggled as he grabbed a solid clone. Giving a sly look towards the last one she nodded towards Stoneheart and stood ready as the clone charged towards Stoneheart and attempted to send a kick towards his head.

"There!" Marinette shouted as she darted through the grass and dove towards the stone ball that fell out of Stonehearts fist and smashed it with her foot. Grabbing the paper, she watched as it became a normal wadded up ball and saw the moth fly out.

"Amazing, spectacular, absolutely mesmorizing! Are you as a new superhero, going to protect Paris from monsters like this? How did you get your powers?" Alya screamed.

"Give me a couple minutes to talk to Stoneheart and then I'd be more than happy to answer any of your questions." Marinette said before walking towards Ivan and placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Are you doing okay? Did you want to talk about it?" Marinette asked.

"Kim wrote me that letter to embarrass me.. and I got really angry because of it," he began. "I really like this girl in my class and he's always teasing me about it. I just finally had enough."

"Hey now, there's no need to be embarrassed by love," Marinette began. "You should never feel ashamed by your own feelings to the point where you react negatively around others. Are you okay enough to walk back home?" Ivan nodded and began his trek towards the exit.

"Okay," Marinette said. "Could I have the name of the one who's interviewing me?"

"My name is Alya, and it's super nice to meet you, uh-"

"Inari, you can call me Inari. This is actually my first time doing the whole superhero thing, so I'm actually really happy to have someone excited about what I'm doing." She giggled. "From now on, I'm going to protect Paris and all of it's citizen's to the best that I'm able, you can count on me to defend you. As far as to how I got my powers," she brought a finger up to her lips and whispered. " Now that's a secret that I just can't give away just yet. Now as much as I'd be happy to stay and chat, I really do have to get going!"

Marinette quickly jumped back and used her flute to propel herself over the stadium and ran towards her home. One she got onto her balcony she shouted "Kitsune-ki!" and retransformed back.

"Oh kit," Trixx breathed, nuzzling against the soft skin of Marinettes cheek. "You were amazing, I couldn't be more proud of you today. Already you're showing such great promise as a fox."

"Thanks Trixx," Marinette smiled. "I've never felt so empowered before. Like I could do so much."

"You always could, kit. It's only now that you've actually realized your full potential."

"and thanks to this ameatur footage, Parisians now know who their hero is. This is Nadja Chamack and I'll be seeing you next time!"

"Marinette! Dinner time!" said Sabine, excitededly Marinette ran down the stairs from her room and to the kitchen where her parents were watching the news.

"We will be organizing a huge celebration in honor of our city's newest protector, Inari." Mayor Burgois said.

"Breaking news! This is Nadja Chamack speaking. Just as Paris is about to celebrate our new superhero, Inari, a new wave of panic has hit the capital as dozens of citizens are turned into stone monsters. It's simply unbelievable! The stone beings are still like statues, police are perplexed, what will happen to them? Will they soon come back to life, or will they be frozen in time forever?"

"Tixx, what's going on? I thought that we defeated him!" Marinette said.

"Well you defeated the monster, but you never caught and cleansed the akuma. When we're transformed I only have a limited awareness of what's happening and when we're near the end of a battle that awareness is even more limited. But, an akuma can multiply when it isn't captured, and if Ivan's feelings become negative again the akuma will turn him back to Stoneheart and then activate all these other monsters."

"So this is all my fault?" Marinette panicked rubbing her temples while she paced back and forth. "See, I knew it. I told you that I'm not cut out to be a superhero. I'm only going to keep messing up."

"Breath kit, you did just fine and you will continue to do so. All you need is to capture the akuma, we can do this kit."

And that's a wrap! How did you guys like it? Was the battle scene interesting to read? Don't be afraid to let me know, all reviews are appreciated! So read and review and I'll see you next time! Also, I'm planning on seeing Incredibles 2 tonight with my boyfriend so that's going to be super fun, but it's almost FOUR hours long. I'm going to die.

"Kitsune-bi!" Marinette yelled into her flute as a jet of flames came rushing out in small bursts forming into tiny shapes that appeared like people as they surrounded the moth and bursts into flames, purifying the moth.
