Before we start, a little something I want to say in advance, it has been nearly 2 years since I have written anything (Personally, I'm ashamed of myself), so I might be a bit rusty. Also, I would like to thank the people who suggested the ideas for some akumas on reddit.
How this fanfic is going to work is that each chapter will be structured like an episode of Miraculous Ladybug, making this into a sort of fan season. Not all chapters will be like this since at least one chapter for this will not have any akumas.
Hope you enjoy.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Miraculous Ladybug
It was way too early in the morning when Hawkmoth brought out his newest akuma, thankfully, it was an easy win for everyone's favourite superhero duo.
"No more evil doing for you, little akuma" said Ladybug as she opened her yo-yo
"Time to de-evilize!"
Ladybug captured the purple akuma in her yo-yo.
"Gotcha!"
Ladybug released the akuma, now purified into a white butterfly.
"Bye-bye, little butterfly" said Ladybug
Only one thing left to do, Ladybug took her lucky charm she used to defeat the akuma and threw it in the air.
"MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!"
An explosion of pink energy dispersed into a swarm of ladybugs that flew around Paris, repairing all the damage caused by Hawkmoth's latest akuma, and reverting the akuma back to normal.
"Pound it!" said Ladybug and Cat Noir, fist bumping over a job well done.
With Hawkmoth's latest akuma defeated, Ladybug returned home, reaching her bedroom just in time before her miraculous timed out.
"Cutting it a little close, Marinette" said Tikki
"Sorry Tikki, but, at least this one was quick, so I won't be late for school this time" said Marinette
==Later==
Marinette and Alya had just entered Francoise Dupont High School.
"Sorry for missing our study session last night, Alya, some stuff came up" said Marinette, not completely lying, some stuff had come up, what she didn't say was that stuff was one of Hawkmoth's other akumas.
"It's okay, girl, I understand, besides, we can study together later tonight" said Alya
"Of course" said Marinette
The girls headed up to their classroom, where they saw someone sitting at the front of the classroom, he had black, spiked hair with brown eyes and was dressed in a red T-Shirt with a silver wave design, black jeans and white sneakers with red designs, he was also wearing a leather bracer on his left wrist and a black sleeveless jacket. Marinette thought he kinda looked familiar.
"Hey there, you new here or something?" asked Alya, greeting the guy.
The guy looked towards the girls.
"Yeah, I am, nice to meet you, I'm Zach Petiot" said the guy
That name seemed to ring a bell, now Marinette recognized him.
"Wait, you're Zacharie Petiot, the teen actor" said Marinette
Zach chuckled at Marinette.
"Yes, I am, nice to meet a fan"
"I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng, this is Alya Cesaire"
"Lovely to meet you both" said Zach
"Just a word of warning, you should probably pick somewhere else to sit" said Marinette
"Why?" asked Zach
"EXCUSE ME!" said someone
The three looked to the entrance to the classroom to see Chloe Bourgeoise and her sidekick, Sabrina Raincomprix.
"That's why" said Alya
"Excuse you for what?" asked Zach
"You need to move, that is my seat" said Chloe
"Nah, I kinda like it here, I'm gonna stay" said Zach
"I DON'T THINK SO!" said Chloe
"Look, blondie, just sit somewhere else and use the time before class starts to see if you can get yourself a new personality, preferably one that's less irritating" said Zach
Marinette, Alya and everyone in class that heard Zach's comment let out a collective chuckle.
"Why you...I'm warning you, my daddy's the mayor of this town" said Chloe
"And my dad's a high ranking member of the Court of Cassation, so what?" asked Zach
Before Chloe could respond, Miss Bustier came in to start class and introduce Zach to everyone, Chloe had to change seats.
==Later==
Marinette went to the library to find a history book when she saw Zach sitting at one of the tables on a laptop with headphones. She decided to walk up to him.
"Hey Zach" said Marinette
Zach looked towards Marinette and took off the headphones.
"Oh hey, uh...Marinette, right?" asked Zach
"Yeah" said Marinette
"What you up to?" asked Zach
"Looking for a history book to study for a test, you?" asked Marinette
"Researching Ladybug and Cat Noir" said Zach
"You have an interest in Ladybug and Cat Noir?" asked Marinette
"Doesn't everybody? You ever met them?" asked Zach
Marinette started to get nervous, not knowing how to answer.
"Uh, I'm...familiar...with them" said Marinette
"I asked if you had ever met them, I'm pretty sure everyone in all of France is 'familiar' with them" said Zach
"Well...I met Cat Noir before, but I can't say I've ever actually 'met' Ladybug, um...I better find that book" said Marinette, before walking away
"That was weird" said someone
"Yeah, it was kinda weird" replied Zach
==Meanwhile==
Kim was heading to his next class when he passed by someone, he recognized the shorter kid as Alexandre, Ondine's brother. Ever since Kim and Ondine started dating, Kim had developed a friendship with Alexandre.
"Hey, Alexandre, what you up to?" asked Kim
"Oh, hey Kim, I'm on my way to my next class, I was just heading to the locker room to grab my inhaler, I must have left it there by accident" said Alexandre
"Okay, see you later" said Kim
Kim went off to his classroom while Alexandre went to the locker room, he went to his own locker and got out his inhaler. Alexandre's asthma wasn't that bad, but he always liked to keep it on hand, just in case. Alexandre went to his science class when he saw a faunarium on the teacher's desk, filled with spiders. Alexandre let out a loud scream and tumbled back. Several other students couldn't help but laugh at Alexandre's reaction.
"Alexandre, what is the matter with you?" asked Ms. Mendeleiev
"I'm sorry Ms. It's just that...I am terrified of spiders" said Alexandre
"Hahaha, what a baby, you're scared of those tiny things?" asked Nicole Bouvier, a blonde haired classmate
"Hey, it's not funny, besides, everyone's scared of something" said Alexandre
"Yeah right, only little kids get scared" said another student
"THAT'S NOT TRUE!" screamed Alexandre
The stress of the situation started triggering Alexandre's asthma, he pulled out his inhaler while the class kept laughing at him. Having enough of being humiliated, Alexandre ran out of the room.
"ALEXANDRE, Where you you think you're going? Get back here and take your seat" said Ms. Mendeleiev
==Hawkmoth's Lair==
"Fear and humiliation, 2 of the perfect ingredients for villainy" said Hawkmoth
A white butterfly flew into Hawkmoth's hand, he covered it with his other hand as it was engulfed in a dark energy, turning it black and purple.
"Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him" said Hawkmoth
==School==
Alexandre sat under the stairs when the akuma flew into his inhaler. A purple outline started shining infront of his eyes.
"Frightmare, I am Hawkmoth, people see your fears as weakness, but in reality, everyone fears something, I can give you the chance to show others what it feels like to be afraid, all I ask in return is you bring me the miraculous of Ladybug and Cat Noir" said Hawkmoth
"All of Paris shall know fear" said Alexandre
A dark aura enveloped Alexandre, changing his appearance to that of a rotting scarecrow, his casual clothes changing to torn up old rags, his inhaler changing into some sort of gas canister.
==Ms. Mendeleiev's Classroom==
The class started without Alexandre when the door burst open and Frightmare entered.
"Who are you? What is the meaning of this?" asked Ms. Mendeleiev
"Ms. Mendeleiev, always so confident, but what is it that makes you quiver?" asked Frightmare
Frightmare raised his gas canister and enveloped Ms. Mendeleiev in a green gas, when the gas cleared, Ms. Mendeleiev's eyes turned bright red and in her mind, all she saw was herself atop a high cliff.
"NO! GET ME DOWN! GET ME DOWN!" screamed Ms. Mendeleiev
"Get you down? Appears you have a fear of heights" said Frightmare
Frightmare turned to the rest of the class.
"So...who's next?" asked Frightmare
==Hawkmoth's Lair==
"Perfect, Ladybug and Cat Noir should show up any minute now" said Hawkmoth
==Meanwhile==
Marinette exited the library when she heard screaming and ran to investigate, she saw the student's from Ms. Mendeleiev's class running from their classroom.
"What's going on?" asked Marinette
Marinette's question was then answered when she saw an akumatized villain exit the classroom. Marinette quickly ran to the bathroom and let Tikki out of her purse.
"Hawkmoth's brought out another akuma, already?" asked Tikki
"Seems like it..." said Marinette
"TIKKI! SPOTS ON!"
Marinette brushed her hair out of the way as Tikki flew into Marinette's earring.
Marinette waved her hands infront of her face to materialize her mask.
Marinette stretched out one arm as her suit started to form from her neck to her toes.
Marinette's Yo-Yo materialized around Marinette's waist.
Marinette posed as her transformation into Ladybug was complete.
==Meanwhile==
Adrien Agreste heard the commotion and rushed to find the cause, when he saw Frightmare, he quickly hid in the locker room and let Plagg out.
"This doesn't look good, we gotta stop that akuma, time to transform..." said Adrien
"PLAGG! CLAWS OUT!"
Adrien's ring changed from silver to black before Plagg flew into the ring as a green paw print appeared on the ring.
Adrien waved his hand infront of his face as his mask materialized, before running his hands over his hair, forming his cat ears.
Adrien spread his arms as his catsuit formed on his body. Adrien's belt and Bo Staff also materialized around his waist.
After performing 2 scratch taunts, Adrien posed as his transformation into Cat Noir was complete.
Frightmare kept chasing students when he caught up with Nicole Bouvier, one of the students that made fun of him in the classroom.
"Let's find out your fear, shall we?" asked Frightmare
Frightmare raised his gas canister, but before he could use it, it was suddenly knocked from his hand by Ladybug's yo-yo.
"I'm afraid that won't be happening" said Ladybug
"Lovely pun, milady" said Cat Noir, as he jumped in next to Ladybug
"Ladybug and Cat Noir, bring me their miraculous" said Hawkmoth
"I wonder what superheroes are afraid of" said Frightmare
Frightmare grabbed his gas canister, while he was distracted, Nicole ran off.
"Great, you let her get away" said Frightmare
Nicole ran to hide in the library, where Zach was still hanging out.
"Are you okay? What's happening?" asked Zach
"There's an akuma in the school" said Nicole
Zach went wide-eyed.
"You hide, I'll keep an eye out" said Zach
Nicole went to hide.
"Is it time yet?" asked someone
"Not yet" whispered Zach in response.
Meanwhile, Ladybug and Cat Noir fought against Frightmare, a couple times, Frightmare tried using his gas canister on the heroes, but they were able to dodge his gas.
"The akuma's got to be in that gas canister" said Ladybug
"But if we get too close to it, he'll gas us" said Cat Noir
"Leave that to me" said Ladybug
"LUCKY CHARM!"
Ladybug flung her Yo-Yo high into the air. Energy shot out from the yo-yo before creating a salt shaker.
"Salt?" asked Ladybug
"Think you can defeat me with seasoning?" asked Frightmare
Frightmare charged towards Ladybug and kicked her in the stomach, sending her back. Cat Noir tried to attack Frightmare, but found himself thrown against a wall.
"I'll deal with you two later, for now, I have some business to take care of" said Frightmare, before heading to the library
Frightmare barged through the door to the library, only to receive a dropkick from Zach.
"I don't think so, akuma" said Zach
"Zach, what are you doing?" thought Ladybug
Zach proceeded to beat down Frightmare, but when Zach went for a kick, Frightmare grabbed Zach's leg and threw him against a wall.
"Ow!" said Zach
Frightmare grabbed Zach by the shirt collar and pressed him against the wall.
"You shouldn't have done that!" said Frightmare
Frightmare sprayed the gas into Zach's face, Zach's vision changed, everyone he could see was now wearing a large amount of bright and colourful make-up and he could hear circus music.
"No! NOOOOO!" screamed Zach in fear
Frightmare let go of Zach, who curled up in a foetal position on the floor. Frightmare went into the library and was followed by Ladybug and Cat Noir. Ladybug and Cat Noir looked around but couldn't find Frightmare.
"Ladybug, Cat Noir" said someone
The heroes looked to see Nicole Bouvier hiding behind the librarian's desk.
"You're the girl Frightmare was after before, what does he want?" asked Ladybug
"It's one of my classmates, our class made fun of him for being scared of spiders, I guess he got really upset" said Nicole
"You could say that!" said Frightmare, from behind Nicole, before spraying the gas at her.
As Nicole's eyes went red, she saw water leaking from the walls, she could feel the room filling with water. She screamed in fear.
"Let's get outta here" said Cat Noir
"CATACLYSM!"
Cat Noir raised his hand above his head as his hand was infused with negative energy.
Cat Noir placed his hand on the ground, causing the floor to crumble and Frightmare to fall into the hole. As Ladybug and Cat Noir ran to one of the classroom, Frightmare escaped, but luckily, the Cataclysm had given them enough time to hide.
"I think now would be a good time to think of a plan" said Cat Noir
"Right..."
Ladybug observed the area and noticed the salt, Cat Noir's staff and Frightmare's face and gas canister.
"I have an idea" said Ladybug
Meanwhile, Frightmare entered the classrooms looking for Ladybug and Cat Noir.
"Hey Frightmare!" said Cat Noir, who had appeared in the middle of the courtyard with Ladybug
"It's been a gas, but I fear it's over, what a cat-astrophe" said Cat Noir
"You should really be put on a limit" said Ladybug
Frightmare charged towards the heroes, but when he got too close, Ladybug threw a handful of salt into his face, slightly blinding him.
"AGH!" screamed Frightmare
"Now, Cat Noir" said Ladybug
Cat Noir charged towards Frightmare, with Cat Noir using his bo staff to beat down the villain. When Frightmare was able to see properly again, he tried to throw a punch at Cat Noir, but Cat Noir ducked underneath it.
"You pesky alley cat!" said Frightmare
Frightmare raised his gas canister to use it on Cat Noir, but it wasn't working, he looked to see that Cat Noir had jammed the gas canister with his staff when he ducked the punch. Cat Noir kicked the gas canister out of Frightmare's hand. Ladybug caught the gas canister and broke it over her knee, releasing the akuma inside.
"No more evil doing for you, little akuma" said Ladybug as she opened her yo-yo
"Time to de-evilize!"
Ladybug captured the purple akuma in her yo-yo.
"Gotcha!"
Ladybug released the akuma, now pruified into a white butterfly.
"Bye-bye, little butterfly" said Ladybug, before throwing the Lucky Charm into the air.
"MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!"
An explosion of pink energy dispersed into a swarm of ladybugs that flew around the school, repairing all the damage caused by Frightmare, and reverting him back to normal.
"Pound It!" said Ladybug and Cat Noir, fist bumping over a job well done.
"What...what happened?!" asked Alexandre
"It's a long story" said Cat Noir
Ladybug heard her earrings beeping.
"Which we don't have time to tell, better get going, bug out!" said Ladybug, before swinging away on her yo-yo.
==Hawkmoth's Lair==
"You may have won this time, Ladybug and Cat Noir, but rest assured, you will feel fear when I take your miraculous, I won't stop until I do!" said Hawkmoth
==Francoise Dupont==
After being deakumatized, Alexandre returned to his classroom where he was approached by Nicole Bouvier.
"Hey, Alexandre, I wanted to say sorry, for how I acted today" said Nicole
"Don't worry, Nicole, it's alright" said Alexandre
"No, it's not, you were right, everyone has fears, we shouldn't have made fun of you for yours" said Nicole
"Nicole, don't worry about it, I'm sorry for what happened while I was akumatized" said Alexandre
"I deserved it, but, it's behind us now" said Nicole, holding out her hand for a handshake, which Alexandre accepted.
