Marinette lay the Goat, Rooster, and Peacock Miraculous on the bedside table. She took off the Bee Comb and laid it on her pillow. Pollen landed next to her Miraculous and watched as Marinette faced Dusuu.
"All my preparations are ready. Is there anything I need to know before I begin the process?"
The small bird Kwami nodded. "Yes. When you use my powers for good, you will have a special bond with your creation. You will be required to fulfill her deepest, attainable desire. No matter what it is, even if it takes years, you will be obliged to see she gets it. It's part of the contract between Peacock and Senti-being. Also, you will not be able to hide your emotions from her. She will always be able to tell what you are feeling. I suggest being very honest with Fei at all times."
Marinette smiled and patted the Kwami on the head. "I see. Well, I will glad to help her with anything, I just hope it is something we can do in this world."
The Kwami shook his head. "No worries, it will be something you can help her with. It will not set you up for failure."
"Alright, it's time." Marinette donned the Goat, Rooster, and Peacock Miraculous. "Ziggy, Orikko, Dusuu! Unify!"
Three colors of light washed over her and she was donned in a dress that covered her entire body, complete with boots and gloves. The dress is a swirl of the three colors of the Kwami. She sighed and looked over herself.
"I guess I'll call myself Lady Sherbert, though I doubt I'll ever use this combo again." She giggled as she spun, letting the hem of the dress swirl around her. She then reaches to her side and pulls out the wand that belongs to the Goat.
She called "Genesis!" And drew a ring in thin air. The ring was a small band made from platinum with the name 'Fei' carved into the face. She examined the ring and nodded, pleased. Then she focused and called. "Supplementation! I give myself the power to enchant objects." Her body glowed orange and she felt the rush of power. She touched the ring and it began to glow orange too. "I enchant you with the following properties. You cannot be unmade or destroyed by any means other than the Black Cat Miraculous. The owner of your Miraculous is the Senti-Being I place you on the finger of. Once you have been given, only your owner can give you away. If you are lost or stolen, you will immediately appear back on the finger of your owner."
She finished and the ring glowed one more time before it faded back to Platinum. She smiled and then took the fan from her side. This part would need to be fast. Once she created the amok, it would only be 5 minutes until she changed back. She took a feather from the fan pressed it to her breast and summoned all her memories of Fei. The time they had ridden through Shang-hai together. Fei protecting her from the boys who had cornered them. Fei asked to call her sister. Marinette gasped in shock as she was flooded with Fei. Her dreams, her ambitions, and her devotion to her father's legacy. As all these memories and emotions reached their peak, she poured all of them into the feather and touched it to the ring. A moment later, Fei appeared. She was wearing her usual outfit and her eyes were closed. Marinette muttered the release command and the Kwami left the Miraculous, leaving her standing before Fei. She reached out and slipped the platinum band onto her right hand.
The moment Marinette touched Fei's hand, emotions and memories flooded her brain. What Fei wanted most in the world was to open a new dojo like the one that horrible man ahd burned down. Marinette nodded.
"I swear on my Miraculous, that I will see you fulfill that dream, Fei."
The contract complete, the raven-haired girl opened her eyes.
"Marinette? Where are we? What happened? Last thing I recall, there was a flash of light, and if felt like I was falling."
"Fei, please sit down. We have a lot to talk about."
It took Marinette a very long time to finish explaining to her friend about their situation.
"So, let me get this straight," Fei said as she admitted the platinum ring on her finger. "You were Ladybug back in the old world. I suspected it, honestly, but had little evidence. You were killed in an attack and as a result, our timeline was reset so you didn't die instead. You were given a chance to fill in a hold in this universe where you of this world died?"
"That sums it up." Marinette nodded. "I plan to go to her hometown and try to make sure she at least got a proper funeral. I haven't decided if I am going to reveal myself to her parents or not. I'm not sure they would be alright with their daughter's doppelganger moving in."
Fei shrugged. "From what Uncle Wang told me about your mother I think she might. Your call though. So, you created me with magic as your own ally you can make?"
"Well, the traditional way. That ring on your finger is your amok, but it's enchanted to always return to you so no one can steal your freedom. Just make sure you are never willing give it to anyone else."
Fei nodded. Understood. Well, shall we head for this other town? I don't know about you, but I would very much like to meet and beat up your murderer."
Marinette smiled and held out a choker to her. "Here, take this first."
Fei hesitated to take it. "What is it?"
"Well, you cannot have your usual powers now, so it's a new power source for you to use. Wu Fei, this is the Miraculous of the Dragon that grants the power of Perfection. You will use it for the greater good. You will not return it to me, but keep it and act as my ally at all times. Will you once again take up the role of hero?"
Feo nodded eagerly and took the Miraculous. "Of course, Marinette. You can count on me."
She donned it and Longg appeared. "Greetings, madam. I am Longg, the Kwami of perfection. Using my powers, you will gain control over one of three elements. But something tells me you are no stranger to these powers. You have worked with my cousin, Long Long before, haven't you?"
Fei nodded. "Yes, I did work with Long Long before. Good to meet you, Longg."
"To transform, you tell Longg 'Longg, bring the storm!' To change back, simply say 'Open sky's."
"Got it. Shall we go?"
The two of them packed up the extra food for the Kwamis.
Their first stop was to get Fei an outfit like hers. The shopkeeper paid well for Fei's outfit as well and soon, Fei was wearing a nearly identical outfit to Marinette, just in red. Within the hour, they were leaving the village behind.
"This place was nice to me." Marinette smiled as they left. "Having just arrived after losing everything. Maybe we can come back someday."
Fei nodded. "I would like to see more of it. For now, how are we from our destination?"
"It's the next town over, so we should be there by the end of today. I've never really walked this far before so we might be a little later than sundown." She raised an eyebrow. "If we went normally. I see no reason for us not to cheat."
Fei grinned. "I like the sound of that. What did you have in mind?"
"We travel like the wind. Transform and use your Wind Dragon and scoop me up. We will ride the currents all the way to the town."
"Works for me. Longg, Bring the Storm!"
Marinette quickly called for her own transformation before Fei scooped her up and they rode off into the day. Marinette gripped her top tightly. Each passing moment brought her closer to the town the other her had grown up in. What would she find there and what would her friends and family think if this version showed up? She would have to deal with that when she got there.
I am really sorry, I had this mostly written for some time and just did not finish it until now. I hope you enjoy this update. Next time we will be getting into some deeper stuff and will even meet two of Marinette's friends in this world. Some of my own Original characters will be showing up as well. See you next time.
