Chapter 1: The Breakout.
(Evil-Note.- Well, guys, I've outdone myself in insanity and evil, for this AU needs no real introduction. What to expect now? Maybe another Secret File series like with the Murderverse or the Dimensional War, and besides that, a lot of gore, cannibalism, murder and zombies [duh]. Hope you enjoy this little universe I came up with while I was cleaning my currently former work area, and as usual, all dialogues between -""- are translated from English.
Evil-Note 2.- I published this a while ago, but I did a small edition and now I decided to publish it as a separate story, which will probably only be updated every Halloween, for now, I have four chapters in production and I will probably publish two of them along with this one)
Most of the cities in the world were in panic.
Why, you ask?
Well, it all started with the breakout of a virus that fulfilled one of the most improbable end-of-the-world scenarios.
But we're now gonna focus on how it all started in a particular city, the capital city of France, Paris.
It all began one day like any other, there was an akuma attack and the main beloved saviors of Paris, Ladybug, Spider-Man and Chat Noir, had shown up to save the day.
However, they never even imagined the events that would unfold that day.
Right after defeating the akuma, Adrien had to leave his teammates to go to a photo session, which was actually just a ruse to plan a surprise double date along with his other teammate and Peter Parker's girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson, also known as Queen Bee.
On the other hand, Peter and Marinette had gone to the little hideout that Tony Stark had built them after the defeat of the Sinister Six as a way to say sorry for dismissing them as heroes.
Once the duo entered the warehouse, their transformations ended and they quickly pulled out food for their kwamis, which the little flying creatures rapidly took from the teens' hands.
And as Tikki and Leopardon gnawed on the cookie and the chocolate bar respectively, the four heard a rupture in space being cut, then they all turned to see Alya, Nino, Trixx and Wayzz stepping into the command center of their hideout through the portal. However, the joy of seeing their comrades returning from their little mission with Marco, Jackie, Jason, Trini, Dipper, Pinkie, Sarah and Ethan in a small town called King County, was gone as soon as they noticed that the four newcomers were bleeding, staggering and that Peter's dimensional scissors were also covered in blood. But even worse than that, they had brought an unconscious man with them, and from the looks of it, the man was a police sheriff of the US.
"Alya, Nino!" Peter and Marinette said as they rushed to help their friends. "What the hell happened in the US?! Who's this man?!"
"NO!" Nino groaned as he panted.
"Get away from us!" Alya snapped as she fell to her knees clutching her injured arm.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Leopardon said as he approached Wayzz.
"You guys obviously need help!" Tikki said as she helped Trixx get up.
"You don't understand..." Trixx panted.
"We... are losing control..." Wayzz said between gasps.
"What in the world are you talking about?" Peter said as he and Marinette helped Nino and Alya to get back on their feet.
"The... hunger..." Alya moaned.
"It's too much..." Nino said. "... I'm sorry...
"Sorry for what?" Marinette asked.
All of a sudden, Alya pounced on Marinette as she hissed, while Nino grabbed Peter and struggled with the nerd as he growled. As for the kwamis, Trixx and Wayzz roared rather pathetically and pinned Tikki and Leopardon to the ground.
Then something completely unexpected happened.
Nino, Alya, Trixx and Wayzz overpowered Peter, Marinette, Tikki and Leopardon and bit them hard enough to make them bleed and scream in pain.
As blood poured from Peter's forearm, Marinette's shoulder, Tikki's neck and one of Leopardon's arms, they felt a surge of adrenaline that made them punch their attackers as hard and as many times they needed to get them off their flesh, unfortunately losing small chunks of it in the process.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Peter said as he clutched his arm.
"We gotta feed..." Alya said as she savored Marinette's flesh. "Funny... you actually taste really sweet, Marinette..."
"We are very sorry for all this, though." Trixx panted as he licked Tikki's blood from his paws.
"Tikki, spots on!/Leopardon, webs on!" Marinette and Peter shouted angrily.
"Trixx, let's pounce!/Wayzz, shell on!" Alya and Nino hissed.
A blinding flash covered the four teenagers, giving them their hero costumes, then Rena Rouge and Carapace tried to pounce on Ladybug and Spider-Man, only to have the bug-themed heroes using Ladybug's yo-yo and Spider-Man's webbing to twirl them around and throw them hard against a wall.
Rena Rouge and Carapace groaned in pain as they fell to the ground, then they growled and pulled out their weapons to battle their friends.
However, Spider-Man and Ladybug reacted quicker than the anthropophagus heroes and disarmed them with a swift move, then they twirled them around again and threw them away as far as they could. But instead of crashing against a wall or something again, Carapace and Rena Rouge made an acrobatic twist midair and landed on their feet just a few paces away from the unconscious sheriff they had brought with them and Peter's dimensional scissors.
Ladybug and Spider-Man gasped in horror at their big mistake, but before Rena and Carapace could notice it, Ladybug threw her yo-yo around the man's torso while Spider-Man shot a webline at his scissors, then both pulled the scissors and the man away from Alya and Nino.
"GIVE HIM BACK!" Rena Rouge snarled.
"HE'S OUR FOOD!" Carapace growled.
"What the fuck happened to you?!" Ladybug snapped as she threw the man over her shoulder.
"Why do you have this sudden and sick desire to eat flesh?!" Spider-Man said as he tucked his dimensional scissors under his utility belt.
Carapace and Rena Rouge didn't answer, they just pounced on their former friends, which made Ladybug and Spider-Man grit their teeth and swing at their attack to deliver a hard mule kick to the chin of the flesh-eating heroes. Then, using the impulse from their attack, they broke a window and swung away as fast as they could.
"K.A.R.E.N., initiate lockdown sequence. Alpha-Black code." Spider-Man said.
"Already did, Peter, but you two should treat your wounds soon." K.A.R.E.N. said.
"We gotta warn the others before this thing spreads." Ladybug said.
-"What happened...?"- The man under Ladybug's arm.
-"Ah, great, you might have some context for us to figure what the hell happened back there."- Spider-Man said.
Few seconds after that, the two heroes landed on a rooftop and Ladybug let the officer on the ground and he stood up, coughing a bit.
-"Alright, first off, who are you, sheriff? And what happened in Georgia?"- Spider-Man snapped.
-"Spider-Man and Ladybug? Man, I thought this day couldn't be weirder..."- The sheriff sighed.
-"Just answer the questions, please."- Ladybug snapped.
-"My name's Rick Grimes."- Said the sheriff. -"And I've no idea what happened. At one point, me and the other officers were trying to contain a riot and the next I heard a scream, people started biting each other and then I was knocked out by a hit in my nape, after that, I woke up in your arms, girl. And I'm really weirded out 'cause the last thing I imagined I'd be doing this morning would be swinging by the streets of Paris while I'm being carried by Ladybug and Spider-Man."-
-"Great... that's great..."- Ladybug snorted.
-"All I know about this is that this is really, really, really bad. We were 20 officers there, besides those heroes, and in a few moments, my friends were dead and yours were eating them."-
"Spider-Man, Ladybug, I got some bad news." K.A.R.E.N. said all of a sudden. "Carapace and Rena Rouge have managed to override the lockdown and have escaped."
"Oh, shit!" Spider-Man cursed. "Ladybug, we gotta get to the others before Foxy and Shell-boy do it!"
Ladybug nodded and threw her yo-yo as hard as she could to break the lock of a nearby door.
-"You go through there and try to alert everyone, officer Grimes."- Ladybug said. -"Go to the Town Hall, at least someone there should know how to speak English."-
-"Got it, kiddo."- Grimes said as he ran to the door.
With that said, Spider-Man and Ladybug jumped off the rooftop and started swinging away.
However, as they did they felt a burning sensation started to spread through their bodies from the places where Alya and Nino had bit them, which made them lose their grip and fall over a roof, crashing harshly against it.
Ladybug gripped her shoulder and Spider-Man clutched his arm, feeling a pang coming from it as blood still flowed out of the bites. The bug-themed heroes screamed in pain and panted in agony, then they gritted their teeth and managed to stand up and resume their swinging to Peter's apartment.
Moments later, the heroic duo managed to get to Peter's home, but their grand entrance was anything but silent and calm, as both crashed against the window and ended up breaking some of the furniture, causing a loud noise.
Immediately after that, Mary Jane Watson and Adrien Agreste bursted into the little living room with smiles, hoping to see the ever-so clumsy red-costumed heroes in one of their usual accidents, but they gasped as soon as they saw their bleeding boyfriend and girlfriend, respectively.
"Oh, my gosh!" Adrien said as he helped Ladybug. "What happened to you guys?"
"We don't know..." Ladybug panted.
"It hurts..." Spider-Man said.
"C'mon, let's get you on the couch. Adrien, get the first aid kit." Mary Jane said.
In that moment, Ladybug and Spider-Man screamed and clutched their stomach in pain, feeling an intense hunger.
"Forget that, we gotta call an ambulance." Adrien said.
"I don't feel well..." Spider-Man moaned.
"The pain... it hurts so much..." Ladybug moaned.
While the pain intensified, Spider-Man opened his eyes wide and looked at Ladybug, who had the same expression of realization.
Both had realized what was happening, and as stupid or incredible as it was, it was real.
"Go away..." Ladybug whispered.
"What...?" MJ said.
"Get away from us!" Spider-Man snapped as he begged Mary Jane. "Please! Go away and leave us!"
"It's for your own good! Don't ask why just go!" Ladybug snapped with pleading eyes to her boyfriend.
"Call the ambulance now, Adrien!" Mary Jane snapped.
"Just hold on!" Adrien said as he pulled out his phone
"It's increasing..." Ladybug said. "My stomach..."
"It's getting worse... the pain..." Spider-Man said.
"THE HUNGER!" Ladybug and Spider-Man roared as they pounced on Adrien and Mary Jane respectively.
"WHAT ARE YOU...?!" Mary Jane and Adrien shrieked in fear.
A couple of deafening and bloodcurdling shrieks were heard, then a flash of light was seen and, at the same time, Plagg and Pollen flew into the room and saw Adrien and Mary Jane lying on pools of blood, twitching involuntary at the same time that the light in their eyes died slowly, while Marinette and Peter dug their teeth into their bodies, tearing off chunks of flesh from them and swallowing them with gusto, with their mouths dripping with blood.
"ADRIEN!/MARY JANE!" The newcomer kwamis yelled in horror.
Plagg and Pollen clenched their teeth, then they tried to help their holders, only to be tackled to the ground. Leopardon and Tikki snarled as they pinned Pollen and Plagg respectively, then they bit them in the chest and made them scream in pain as the red kwamis started feeding off the cat and bee kwamis.
"W-why?" Adrien and Mary Jane gasped as they began to drown with their own blood.
Marinette and Peter stopped their cannibal feast for a second and looked at the glassy eyes of the person each loved, feeling like shit when they realized what they were doing, while a fit of great anger was growing inside them, and not against themselves nor against those who had infected them, but against MJ and Adrien, all because of a simple and stupid reason.
Thus, both put a bloody hand on the cheek of the blond and the redhead, looking at them with a rare combination of anguish, anger, horror and regret.
"I asked you to leave, Mary Jane... I begged you to leave..." Peter said. "But you didn't... you ignored me... Why the fuck did you ignore me?!"
"Forgive us for this... but you had it coming..." Marinette said. "You didn't listen to us when we ordered you to go away!"
Adrien and Mary Jane felt how Marinette and Peter tore their chests open with superhuman strength, then ripped their hearts out and bit them, feeling disgust and horror as they saw their own blood dripping from the mouths they had kissed lovingly on several occasions.
"If you wanted it..." MJ and Adrien said with their last breath. "You just had to ask for it..."
"Forgive me... I love you..." Marinette and Peter said.
That said, Peter and Marinette kissed them and were horrified as they felt that their lips became cold and inert. And everything got worse when they instinctively opened their jaws and began to devour their faces.
Meanwhile, May Parker and Sabine Cheng heard the crash and the commotion in the living room from the kitchen, but they didn't mind at all as their nephew and daughter respectively, were a bit clumsy and often crashed into the living room, at least ever since they had revealed their identities to their families.
However, that changed when they heard Adrien and Mary Jane shrieking in terror. The two women gasped in horror and rushed to the living room.
"Peter/Marinette, what's going on here?!" May and Sabine said.
"Mom/Aunt May, don't come here!" Marinette and Peter snapped. "Lock yourselves in the bathroom or somewhere, just stay away from us!"
"But what are you talking about...?" May asked.
Once the two women entered the room, both screamed in horror as they saw Mary Jane and Adrien's bitten corpses, as well as the carnivorous kwamis eating Pollen and Plagg. But the worst part for them was seeing Peter and Marinette on their knees beside the bodies, bathed in and with their mouths dripping blood, and with void eyes and the hearts of their respective loved ones, in their hands.
"WE TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM US!" The anthropophagus teens roared as they pounced on the women.
Once more, two shrieks of terror were heard, but they were quickly silenced by a sickening sound of flesh being ripped apart, accompanied by some growls and hisses.
Moments after sating their craving for flesh, Marinette, Peter and the kwamis gasped in horror.
They had killed Mary Jane, Adrien, May, Sabine, Pollen and Plagg, and even worse than that, they had feasted on their corpses.
The kwamis and their bearers gasped and stared at each other, shocked to find themselves completely bloodsoaked, surrounded by six butchered and gnawed bodies. They wanted to feel disgusted, they wanted to feel bad about what they had done, they wanted to feel like the monsters they were, they wanted to feel sorry... but they just couldn't, they could only feel surprised at what they had done.
"W-what have we done...?" Marinette stammered.
"We... I... Need more..." Peter said.
"Yes..." Leopardon said as he dropped Pollen's gnawed head.
"As much as I hate myself for this... I'm still hungry..." Tikki said as she licked Plagg's blood off herself.
Then a knock was heard on the door, one that was frantic and seemed to hold a lot of worry. Few seconds after that, the Gorilla, Adrien's bodyguard, busted the door down, letting Nathalie and himself enter the apartment.
"Adrien! We gotta evacuate the city! Your father...!" Nathalie tried to say before noticing the carnivorous teens and the corpses in the living room. "ADRIEN!"
The Gorilla clenched his teeth, then he tried to attack Marinette and Peter, but the duo simply smirked at the thought of having a good supply of flesh thanks to the bodyguard, all the while Nathalie pulled out her tablet to inform her boss of her horrific finding.
Peter and Marinette dodged the bulky man's fists easily, then they pounced on him and bit his neck, making the Gorilla groan in pain and fall to his knees while the teens ripped chunks of his flesh with their teeth, while Nathalie pulled out her tablet to inform her boss of her horrendous find, but before she could say anything, the assistant of the Agrestes was pushed to the ground, hitting her head in a bad way against the wall, then she felt that something grabbed her glasses and threw them away, and before she could see who had attacked her, she shrieked in agony as she started feeling how two small creatures gouged her eyes out with their teeth and entered her skull to devour her from the inside, all the while her tablet showed the image of her boss, who seemed worried as he heard nothing but screams and some animalistic guttural grunts and growls.
"Nathalie! Nathalie!" Gabriel Agreste snapped. "What the hell is going on there?!"
Nathalie wanted to shriek again, but one of the creatures that were gnawing the inside of her skull, flew out of it and gave her a blow to the throat to then bite her and rip part of her trachea off, incapacitating her vocal cords and making her bleed out faster.
Meanwhile, Peter and Marinette had torn the Gorilla's torso open and were ripping off and devouring his internal organs one by one, but Nathalie's scream for help had alerted them and made them avoid being discovered at any cost.
"The tablet!" Marinette snapped as she kept feeding off the Gorilla's dying body. "Destroy it!"
Peter kept biting chunks off the bodyguard's liver but extended his arm and fired a webbing strand at the TV, from his artificial web-shooters, then he pulled it and made the device fall over the tablet, shattering both.
And as Leopardon, Tikki, Marinette and Peter kept feasting on Nathalie and the Gorilla, Gabriel Agreste couldn't help but roar in despair as he stood up and threw his desk away.
"H-he could still be ok, master." Nooroo said quietly.
"I'm not gonna take any more chances, and thanks to this outbreak, I can create an army to save my son!" Gabriel snapped. "Dark wings, rise!"
With that said, Gabriel Agreste was turned into Hawk Moth, then he rushed to his lair and started sending akumas left and right in a futile attempt to find his son and bring him to safety.
His quest for the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculouses could wait.
The problem was, he didn't know it had already been trumped.
