Annarillo was quite frightful. Despite the akuma's large size, she hit hard and could be fast when she wanted to be. With a bellowing cackle, she slammed her large claws to the ground, sending students tumbling to the ground and a certain fox necklace and kwami to the air. With a sharp turn, Annarillo slashed out blindly, hitting a surprised dark haired girl in the chest.

The akuma's wicked claws nicked her, sending a pasty white jewel flying and knocking the girl down.

With a harsh grit of her teeth, Marinette covered the scratch on her chest, glaring up at the cackling akuma. Before she could bring her claws down on the dark haired girl, a black and yellow beyblade wrapped around the akuma's claws. With a cocky laugh, Queen Bee reeled the akuma away.

Stumbling up, Marinette hurried away, frantically searching for her miraculous.

"Hello Chick." Marinette gives a start when she came across Vixx instead, clutching the fox miraculous to her small frame.

"Vixx?" Marinette said, surprised, "what are you-"

"Got separated," the kwami said, floating up and moving Marinette's hand to eye the scratch that replaced the peacock miraculous. "Looks like Juuni has been too."

"He's up in the classroom," Marinette explained, wincing.

Humming, Vixx held out the miraculous to her.

Marinette blinks down in surprise.

"The fox is needed," Vixx said. "I don't know where my Kit is."

"But Juuno-"

"Will understand," Vixx cuts in. "Slink out are my words."

"Vixx?" Adrien called, crawling around and trying not to panic.

Ladybug, Chat, and Queen were already out there, fighting against Annarillo.

Malin should be out there... but couldn't because he didn't know where his miraculous was...

He jumped when he felt something smooth under his fingertips. Snatching it up eagerly, he falters when he found a peacock miraculous instead. Well, this was concerning. He hoped his Bluebird was ok.

"Adrien!"

He looked up, seeing Juuno dive down, frowning worriedly. "Marinette left me in the classroo..." Juuno stared down at the miraculous in Adrien's hands. "Oh boy."

They jumped at a large explosion, and looked up just in time to see a reddish orange and black blur dive away, pursuing the fray.

Looks like someone else got to his miraculous first...

Adrien winced.

He hoped Vixx chose wisely.

Determined, Adrien latched the peacock miraculous to his shirt, feeling the tickle of magic cling to him. Juino blinks at the boy in surprise. Before Adrien called out the transformation he pauses, turning to Juuno nervously. "I... I won't be sneezing all the time, will I...?"

"The magic will adjust out to you," Juuno reassured. "Your allergies won't get in the way while transformed."

"Alright!" Adrien bid, pumping his fist eagerly. "Juuno fan out!"

"What's going on?" Chat asked, eyeing the fox oddly.

Malin "Rouge" purses her lips, tail twitching as she turned and met his odd gaze. "I, I kinda lost my miraculous. And I think Malin did too..."

"Kinda yeah," the peacock hero confirmed, dropping down beside the surprised fox, a thoughtful frown on his face. "I'll be... Paon Royal today! And I must admit, I don't mind it. You're quite the vixen Princess. You make a lovely fox."

Malin screamed in surprise, quickly covering her mouth as she blushed.

Wide eyed, Paon's tail fanned out in a flare of color. "Did you just scream at me?!" he asked excitedly, drawing closer, green eyes aglow.

Malin squealed behind her fingers, blushing and flustered.

"You diiiiid!" Paon screamed back, tail rattling happily as he shimmied in place, making Malin's blush worse.

The two were unaware of the stares of Ladybug and Chat, and the seething glare of Queen Bee.

This was just too exciting for them both.

Not long after I thought of the name Malin, I thought of adding Rouge at the end of it a few times. Probably next fox Adrien/Marinette fic I do (which I probably will, sometime). Till then, Marinette cameo as Malin Rouge!
