Ok now before I get on with the story I just wanted to say thank you for reading, I've only created this account a few days ago and I've already gotten more attention from this story than expected. I know it's not much but it really made my day. Also sorry for this chapter being a lot like the 'Stormy Weather' plot and also sorry for the delay I was sick and off school when I started writing this and had a lot more time to write full chapters and also I was out of inspiration and tried looking through Tumblr for some but that was a grave mistake, I spent hours on that damn website, it's so addictive. On with story.

Chapter 3

Midnight Vengeance

Part 1

" Welcome to the Midnight Show with your host Aaron. So tonight, we'll announce the lucky winner of 'Sing your way to fortune', if you want to find out who, won make sure to grab a coffee and keep the volume up. See all you lovely people soon." Aaron announced.

As the 'On Air' sign turned off the host headed to makeup, while in leaving the two finalists Ocean and Lisa completely alone.

"Be right back Lisa dear, gotta make a phone call" Ocean said with a very suspicious look in her eye. As Ocean turns the corner, with her very ironically dyed blue hair bouncing as she walked and she turns to give Lisa a glare. Gaining suspicious of her opponent, Lisa quickly and quietly followed the girl and stopped just behind the wall, carefully listening to the Ocean's conversation.

"You sure, I don't want any mistakes, you idiot don't transfer it until after they vote, I don't need anyone trying to outsmart me. Good lord, you're so stupid sometimes." The girl grumbled while twirling her light blue hair.

'What is she planning? Is she bribing the judges? No, she wouldn't do that? Would she? I've work so hard to get here; did she bribe her way through the whole competition?' Lisa started to panic she needed to win, she needed to make her mother proud. 'No, she was over reacting, it was past midnight she was just tired... Right?' The thoughts were swimming around in poor Lisa's head as she made her way back behind the curtain, holding on tightly to her late mother's necklace. She was going to win, she was sure of it.

As Ocean enters the room an uncomfortable tension rises, as Lisa turns to her opponent she sees a huge smirk on Ocean's face, making her stomach drop. The 'On Air' sign slowly flicked back on and they hear the host begin to talk.

"Welcome back all you lovely viewers, now we will have our two finalists perform their last song and judges Sally, Amy and Noah will decide the winner before the end of today's show. Up first we have Ocean Ross, singing ( insert popular pop song here because I couldn't think of one that wasn't at least 2 years old, cause I'm considered 'emo trash')

As Ocean smiles smugly and bounces out on stage. She was handed a microphone and makes her way to centre stage, looking at the judges and giving all three of them a stare that like remind them of what they have to do. Ocean begins singing starting out fairly well pitched, but then the chorus began and her voice went from normal to window shatter worthy in a matter of seconds, not long after she finished the first verse it went to window breaking high to earthquake causing low, the difference in the pitches made Lisa's ear want to bleed, she knew this would be the longest few minutes in her life. Ocean finished her song and found her way backstage again.

"Good luck Lisa." The obviously sarcastic sentence came from Oceans lips as Lisa was being called out to the stage.

"And now we have our other finalists Lisa Mace, singing Daughter, one of her own original songs."

(Disclaimer it's not an original song full credit to 'Sleeping at Last' for the song but for the plot of the story or chapter, haven't decided yet, let's pretend it's hers. Thanks)

As the host walks to the side of the stage and the lights go on. The brightness of the studio lights almost blinds her. She looks to the ground, taking a deep breath and waits for the song to begin. The soft piano tune starts to play.

"If only you knew, the sunlight shines a lil brighter, the weight of the world is a lil lighter, the stars leaning in a lil closer, all because of you." Her voice sang shakily

Lisa looked up at the audience nervously. She looks at all the people she doesn't know, all the cameras that were in her face and all the lights blinding her but she saw her family in the middle of all the craziness and her conference rose as the chorus played. Her voice matching every beat perfectly, every note reminding her off how long she worked on this song, with every lyric reflecting her personality perfectly. It would have to be one of her favourite performances. Soon, finishing her song with a huge grin on her face, she bowed and stood just in front of the curtain on stage, right next to Ocean, handing off the microphone on the way.

"What a terrific performance by Lisa, but it's up to the judges to decide, so Sally, Amy, Noah who's it gonna be?" Aaron said with a huge smile, thinking he already knew the answer. The judges lean in and start talking, after what a bit of what seemed like arguing the judges sit straight and announce that the winner will be...

"Ocean Ross"

Realisation hits Lisa as her opponent walks forward to collect her prize, her emotions went into hyperdrive, at first confusion, which turned to sadness, then disappointment and what followed that was anger, real anger.

"NO! She cheated! She bribed the judges! I heard her on the phone taking about don't pay them until after they vote." Lisa screamed in a fit of rage.

"Do you have proof, Lisa dear?" Ocean asked with an even smugger smile than before.

"No but I'm sure it's on security cameras somewhere! It has to be, your cheater!" Lisa said still screaming

"Well, if you have no proof, then I won fair and square." Ocean said as she faced back to the camera smiling.

Lisa starts to tear up, she didn't know what to do. she didn't want to be caught crying on Tv. So she runs, she doesn't know where she's going or what time it is, but she just until she was out of breath.

As the events of the competition unfolded in a room unknow to all, a window opened and the moth miraculous activated. The negative energy could not only be sensed in Paris but in the room itself.

"Ahh such unfairness, cheated out of a dream, so easy for my little Akuma."

Hawk Moth without a second thought held out his hand and let a little white butterfly flap carefully onto his hand. Placing his other hand over the butterfly, allowing the dark energy to enter the innocent creature.

"Now fly away my little akuma and evilise her!" Hawk Moth cried.

Lisa in an alley way crying and trying to calm herself down after the such a dramatic night. She lifted her head momentarily to see what was making the small flattering sound but before she could react the akuma had absorbed itself in to the unsuspecting girls necklace. Not even a few seconds had passed before a dark purple ring mask formed in front of Lisa's face.

" Hello Vengeance. I am Hawk Moth, you have been cheated and Ocean needs to pay the price for what she did."

"I'm listening." A small smirk appearing on Lisa's face.

"I will grant you the power to make people pay for their cheating ways, freeze them in time until they pay off their debt but, you must do something for me, you must bring me Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculous."

"How could I refuse such a deal Hawk Moth?" While transforming into a black dress with frilled shoulders and sleeves that go down to her wrists, almost a victorian style, her mother's necklace sat on top of the corset she wore. In a puff of black and purple smog, her transformation finished.

"I'm ready, everyone will pay for the cheating ways but especially Ocean Ross." Her evil laugh echoing through the small alley.

At the other end of the alley in a small three-story building, someone was jolted wake by the evil laughter.

"Oh no" the small kwami thought to herself. She flies up next to Marinette's head and gently tap her.

"Marinette, Marinette, wake up, I think someone's been akumatized."

"Just ten more minutes mum" Marinette mumbles sleepily

After about five minutes of trying to get Marinette up, the kwami uses all her strength to hit Marinette on the nose. Marinette jolts up quickly in a panic, she soon relaxes her shoulders and rubs her eyes.

"What's wrong Tikki, am I late for school?"

"No Marinette you're not late but I think someone's been akumatized" Tikki explained in a panic. Marinette stops rubbing her eyes and turns her head to look at the clock it read '1:00am'

"You sure you didn't just dream or imagine it?"

"No I'm sur..."

"Tikki...?"

"Marinette I didn't dream it or ima.." Tikki's sentence was once again cut off but this time it was by the sound of scream in the distance.

"Uggggghhhhhh, being a superhero is exhausting!"

"I know Marinette but it's time for you to go save all the citizens of Paris."

" Your right." The still half asleep Marinette complained.

"Tikki Spots On!" Marinette yells, as a cloud of red and pink light surrounded her, signaling the transformation.

End of Chapter 3

Now I've decided to try and get one out once a week but it may be soon or later depending on my schedule at the time. Also the chapters containing akumatized victims will usually be longer than normal chapters or have two parts so they may take longer to get out. Till next time.
