Neverland was a place of extraordinary beauty and adventure. It was home to many inhabitants. One of them was the pirates. A crew of dangerous men called the akumas who served Captain Hawkmoth. A cold, cruel, and ruthless man who could kill a person so fast that they wouldn't have time to think. His power came from negative emotions, if someone felt sad or angry he would feed off of it and turn the poor victim into a wicked pirate that served him. Years ago he tried to turn the lost boys into pirates but Adrien protected them by dueling him in a swordfight. As they fought Adrien accidentally cut off his hand forcing Hawkmoth to replace it with a hook and ever since then he had sworn eternal vengeance on the boy.
"Captain!" Called his first mate Mr. Pidgeon. "Captain Hawkmoth!"
He went into the captain's quarters to find him drinking rum and checking his maps for a way to find Adrien's hideout.
"Sir the boys and I have big news!"
As soon as he set foot inside the man flung a dagger at him barely missing his neck.
"How dare you disturb me!" He roared. "And right in the middle of my drink."
"But captain it's springtime in the middle of January." He said. "The ice is melting, the sun is out, the flowers are all in bloom."
"He's back." He said grinning in a most horrid way. "This time I'll have him."
"Uh Captain with all due respect don't you think you're just a little obsessed with this whole revenge thing."
"Obsessed!" He shouted. "That demon boy cut off my hand!"
"Yes sir but it...it was an accident." He said nervously. "And that hook is much more useful so in a way he did you a favor."
"Favor?" He said calming down. "He threw my hand to a crocodile and that cursed beast liked the taste of me so much that it's followed me ever since licking it's lips for the rest of me. YOU CALL THAT A FAVOR?!"
"No sir."
"I haven't had a moment's peace ever since! Everywhere I go on this bloody island the creature follows me!" He said. "Thank God he swallowed that clock, if it wasn't for the ticking he would've caught me by now. And that boy has the audacity to mock me by laughing in my face and calling me a codfish."
"Of all the nerve sir."
"And I can't turn any of those boys into pirates because he gives them hope and keeps them happy!" He bashed his desk. "If only I could give Adrien negative emotions, then he would be weak and could kill him leaving those boys vulnerable to be akumatized."
"But he doesn't have any feelings sir."
"You think I don't know that?! Get my coat you idiot! I'm going aboard."
Meanwhile high up in the sky, Adrien and his friends sat on clouds watching the pirate ship.
"Marinette look there's Simon says." Nino pointed out. "And Pharoh."
"There's Mime swapping the deck." Erik said. "And Pixlelator and Guitar Villain and Animan."
While the boys continued to point out the pirates on the ship, Adrien and Marinette kept giving each other shy glances much to Chloe's increasing jealousy. Then she and her brothers looked down in fear when they saw Captain Hawkmoth walk on board. The evil pirate looked up to the sky and when he spotted the children he turned to Mr. Pidgeon.
"Fetch Long Tom."
Long Tom was a canon that could shoot to high levels. A cannonball was fired and it headed straight for them. It would've hit Marinette if Adrien didn't push her out of the way. But the impact of it sent them in different directions.
"Chloe! Find Marinette! I'll take care of Hawkmoth." Adrien told the fairy before flying down to the ship.
Chloe smiled deviously as she began to think of a way to destroy the girl.
"Hey! Over here!" Adrien said.
"Shoot him!" Hawkmoth ordered.
"You can't catch me!" The boy teased as the cannon balls kept missing their target.
Marinette had been blown far off to the part of the island where the lost boys lived. There were four of them, Kim, Ivan, Nathaniel, and Max. They were at least nine to twelve years old, all excellent hunters and fighters dressed in rags or animal skins.
"What is it?" Ivan asked Kim who was looking at Marinette through a telescope.
"It's a large white bird." He answered. "Quite ugly too."
"Give me it!" Ivan said.
"Let me see!" Nathaniel demanded.
"It's my turn!" Max argued.
"Hey! Hey! When Adrien's not here I'm in charge. I get to look through the telescope." Kim said putting it to his eye. "It's coming closer." Then Chloe flew into the lense. "Ahh! My God! I've gone blind! I'm blind! She's blinded me!"
The boys laughed at him. "I'm blind!" They all mocked.
"Hello Chloe." Nathaniel said.
"Have you heard from Adrien?" Ivan asked.
Chloe nodded and began whispering in Ivan's ear. Now she wasn't a bad fairy she just had a difficult time controlling emotions especially when she felt that her relationship with Adrien was being threatened.
"She's says it's called a Mari and Adrien wants us to shoot it down."
"Well we have our orders." Kim said. "Shoot the Mari bird."
"Aye-aye!" The boys said getting their bows and arrows out. They pointed them straight up to the flying girl. "Ready! Aim! Fire!"
The boys shot their arrows and Marinette fluttered to the ground.
"I got it!" Ivan cheered.
The boys excitedly ran toward where the supposed bird landed but they were horrified to find a girl lying in it's place with an arrow in her chest. But Chloe was tickled to death by this.
"That is no bird." Kim said.
"It is a lady." Nathaniel said.
"And Ivan has killed her." Max said.
"Hello boys." Adrien said landing in front of them. The boys quickly huddled around her, hiding her from his sight.
"Hello Adrien." Kim said giving him a nervous smile. "How was your trip?"
"Anything new?" Ivan added.
"Yes actually. I have brought a girl here, her name is Marinette. She is going to be your mother."
The boys all gulped and exchanged guilty looks.
"Are you hiding something from me?" He asked.
"No! What makes you say that?" Max asked.
"Alright what did you do this time? You all only gulp at once when you've done something wrong."
"Well you see we...um." Nathaniel said.
"That girl you mentioned we...she is..." Ivan said.
"She is?" Adrien questioned.
"Dead." Kim said as he and the boys moved to show her to him. Adrien kneeled down to her and pulled the arrow from her chest.
"Who's arrow?!" He demanded.
"Mine." Ivan answered sadly. He took off his ragged shirt and pointed to his chest. "Strike Adrien, strike true."
Then they heard Marinette moan.
"She's alive." Nathaniel gasped.
They hovered over her curiously.
"How? That was a perfect shot right where the heart was." Max said.
Adrien placed his fingers where her chest was and found the ring around her neck. It was cracked, the arrow had hit the ring instead of her. She hadn't been killed she just fainted from shock.
"My kiss saved her." Adrien said.
"That's a kiss?" Kim said looking at it. "I remember kisses being something else. There very powerful or so I was told once."
"Let us carry her back to the house." Nathaniel suggested.
"Hands." Adrien said.
The boys checked to see if their hands were clean enough but they had bits of dirt and mud on them.
"They're a bit dirty." Ivan said.
"She must stay here and die." Kim declared.
"No!" Adrien said angrily.
"How could have I thought that? Stupid." Kim said quickly regretting what he said before. "Sorry."
Adrien looked at her and an idea popped into his head. "We'll build a house around her."
The boys went to gather supplies to build a nice sturdy house.
"Adrien." Nathaniel said. "We're sorry for shooting her Chloe told us she was a bird and that you wanted us to kill her." He then went to join the others
"Chloe." He called to the fairy. She flew to over him and he grabbed her in a fist. "Is it tue? Did you try to kill Marinette?"
"Me?" She squeaked. "No." She gave him her most innocent looking face but he knew she was lying because her skin color turned red proving she was angry Marinette was still alive. "Alright! I did it! But she's not that important anyway!"
"We're not friends anymore!" He said furiously throwing her into a bush. Chloe got up and watched him kneel by Marinette's side and watch over her. "I'm sorry she hurt you Princess."
Chloe turned blue and flew away in tears.
