Hello, people of fanfiction, and welcome to my first ever Miraculous story, The Miraculous Tales of the Miracu-League! I hope you guys will like it...Anyway, I don't own anything except for my OC'S.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
"Many centuries ago, magic jewels bestowing extraordinary powers were created. These were...the Miraculous! Throughout history, heroes have used these jewels for the good of the human race. Two of these miraculous are more powerful than the others; the earrings of the Ladybug, which provides the power of Creation; and the ring of the Black Cat, which grants the power of Destruction. According to legend, whoever controls both these jewels at the same time, will achieve absolute power."
"I want that absolute power, Nooroo. I must have those Miraculouses! No matter the costs!" A 6-feet-tall man yelled with his face and appearance hidden in the shadows as the mysterious man stood in an empty room filled with various white butterflies as the stranger was holding onto the Butterfly Miraculous, which was an oval-shaped purple brooch as it opens up like a locket and had an image of a beautiful blonde green-eyed woman inside as the edges of the brooch, and the back of the front part is gray metal with some of it branching out on the outer area of the front of the brooch.
Staring at the picture of the gorgeous woman lovingly and fondly, the man then closed his eyes as he sighs heavily and closed the brooch as he looked up to glare at the small purple butterfly creature floating in front of him. The small butterfly-like creature is a 4-inch-tall, Kwami male as he has a large head with dark purple eyes, a slightly dark purple spiral mark on his forehead, light purple butterfly wings that have a long tail with a tip at the end of each lower wing as it has slightly dark purple spiral marks on each lower part of the back of his wings, and a tiny body with light purple skin. His name is Nooroo, the Kwami of Transmission.
"But nobody knows where these Miraculous are, master!" Nooroo says as the mysterious man smirks.
"I found you, my little Nooroo. You're Miraculous...remind me of its power again." The mysterious man says softly while caressing his Butterfly Miraculous as Nooroo begins explaining.
"The Butterfly Miraculous allows you to give someone their own superpowers and to make that person your devoted follower!"
"And when it comes to luring superheroes, what could be better than creating supervillains?" He says with a sinister grin as Nooroo's eyes widen in horror.
"But master, the Miraculous is not meant to be used for evil purposes!" Nooroo shouted worriedly as the man grew angry and glared at the small, scared creature.
"I must have this absolute power!" He screams while stomping his foot as he pointed at Nooroo. "Your Miraculous is in my control! I'm your master now, and you must obey me!" He shouted sternly as Nooroo whimpered but nods.
"Yes, master," Nooroo says while bowing his head sadly as the man smirks and puts on the Butterfly Miraculous.
"Nooroo! Dark Wings Rise!" The mystery man yells while spreading out his arms as the butterflies floating around him covered his body, and Nooroo yelps as he was forcefully sucked into the Miraculous and the man transformed into his Miraculous Form as the mysterious villain smirks at the readers evilly and struck a villainous pose.
The seven-feet-tall mysterious man was now wearing a silver mask that covers the majority of his face, except for his eyes and mouth as he was wearing a dark purple dress shirt with a black butterfly-shaped big collar, dark purple dress pants, dark blue violetish gray dress shoes, and he carries around his tool/weapon, which is a long dark indigo cane. Also, his Butterfly Miraculous resides on the center of his collar and had changed appearance as it resembles a dark purple button with a black lining as it has tiny curved lines and a hinge at the left and four-light pink strands of fabric coming out from it, making it resemble a butterfly or moth.
"From this day on, I shall be known as...Hawkmoth!" The now named Hawkmoth exclaimed while letting out an evil laugh as, elsewhere, we see a small turtle-like creature sleeping soundly in his bed before waking up as he sensed a disturbance in the air. The small turtle-like creature is a 4-inch-tall, Kwami male as he has a large head with yellow eyes that has green pupils, a little green antenna on his head, a tiny body with light green skin, a dark green turtle shell on his back, and a short pointed tail. His name is Wayzz, the Kwami of Protection.
"Master! Master!" Wayzz shouted while flying out of a gramophone as he alerted his Master, who was a short, 3'7-feet-tall, 186-year-old Chinese man with chestnut brown eyes, medium gray hair with a bald spot, a medium gray mustache/goatee, a big nose, a sharp chin, wrinkled light skin, a slim surprisingly muscular body, and his outfit consists of a red Hawaiian shirt with a white hibiscus flower pattern, tan capri pants, and dark brown shoes. Also, he was wearing his Turtle Miraculous on his right wrist, which consists of a green bracelet with six triangular carvings, and it was shaped like a turtle as it has a black string tied through the holes in the turtle heads and tail to make a loop. His name is Wang Fu, the Great Guardian of the Miraculouses, and the current holder of the Turtle Miraculous.
Wang Fu was startled by the small turtle's sudden appearance as he was busy working with a customer, who heard the tiny Kwami's worried yells as he looks up, and Wang Fu flinched at this before thinking quickly as the old man started chanting just as Wayzz disappeared into Wang Fu's shirt as the costumer stared at the chanting Wang Fu confusedly.
"...master, master. Chanting, it's all part of the treatment. Master, master..." Wang Fu trails off as he then lifted the customer up to his feet easily and begins pushing the customer out the door. "Thank you for coming, come again next week!"
"But-" The customer didn't have a chance to respond as Wang Fu pushes him out of the room and closed the door.
"Master Wang Fu." The small turtle says, appearing out of Wang Fu's shirt. "I felt the aura of the Butterfly Miraculous!" Wayzz says as Wang Fu gasped in shock.
"I thought it has been lost forever! Are you sure about this, Wayzz?" Wang Fu asked anxiously/worriedly as Wayzz nodded seriously
"I'm sure, but master the aura that I sense was one full of pure evil! I fear it may have gotten into the hands of a dark power!" Wayzz says as Wang Fu's eyes widen slightly before narrowing his eyes in determination as he gripped his fists tightly.
"We must find Nooroo and his Miraculous. If it has gotten into the wrong hands, there's no telling what evil will come upon the world! It's time to transform!" Wang Fu says while holding onto his bracelet as it glowed green. "Wayzz! Shell-" Wang Fu says, before grunting as he doubled over in pain.
"Please, master. Be reasonable. You are-,"
"Still young!" Wang Fu protested as he got up from the floor. "I'm only 186 years old! But you're right, Wayzz. I can no longer do it alone. We'll need some help." The master says as he walks over to open a nearby gramophone, and the Miraculous Chest Box popped out. Not wasting time, Wang Fu grabs the earrings of the Ladybug, the ring of the Black Cat, the amulet of the White Wolf, and the pocket watch of the Rabbit. "Let's go." Master Wang Fu says as Wayzz nods, and they ventured off to assemble their future warriors.
"Marinette! Douglass! You're alarm's been going off for fifteen minutes! You both are going to be late for your first day back at school!" A short Chinese woman yells as she was busy preparing breakfast for her family. The woman is a 4'8-feet-tall, 38-year-old Chinese woman with gray eyes, short black hair with blue highlights, a small dainty nose, light skin, a slim hourglass figure, and her outfit consists of a white cheongsam with a red/black/gold plant design, a silver band on her ring finger, periwinkle pants, and black/white dress shoes. Her name is Sabine Cheng.
"Morning, mom," A 13-year-old girl mumbles out while walking downstairs as she yawns but walked over to kiss the woman on her cheek as Sabine smiles at her kindly. The teenager is a 5'2-feet-tall, half-French/half-Chinese, 13-year-old girl with bluebell eyes, medium-length black hair with blue reflections tied up into two pigtails, a small dainty nose with light freckles on both sides of it, slightly light skin, a slender built, and her current outfit consists of her pajamas, which was a white t-shirt with pink polka dots and black edges, light pink sweatpants with a white string, and no shoes. Her name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Sabine's only daughter.
"Good morning, Marinette." Sabine says just as a 12-year-old boy appeared as he walked down downstairs and yawns as he walked over to Sabine. The teenager is a 4'8-feet-tall, half-French/half-Chinese, 12-year-old boy with light gray eyes, long shoulder-length black hair with blue highlights, a big nose with light freckles on both sides of it, a small scar on his left cheek, a sharp chin, light skin, a slender thin built, and his current outfit consists of his pajamas, which was a black tank top with gray sweatpants and no shoes. His name is Douglass Dupain-Cheng, Marinette's little brother and Sabine's only son.
"Hey, mom. What's for breakfast?" Douglass asked his mother while kissing her cheek as Sabine smiled at her son warmly.
"I'm making waffles."
"Good, I'm starving!" Douglass says while taking his seat as Marinette poured herself a bowl of cereal. "Hey, sis."
"Morning, Douglass," Marinette says with a depressed tone as she played with her food. "I bet you anything Chloe will be in our class again."
"Four years in a row, is that possible?" Sabine asked as Marinette nodded.
"Definitely. Lucky me." Marinette says while rolling her eyes.
"Don't let her get to you, Marinette. Even if Chloe does show up, just ignore her. That bitch is not worth your time."
"Douglass! Language!" Sabine says while hitting her son on the head with a wooden spoon as he winced.
"Sorry, mom." Douglass says with a sheepish grin as Marinette smiles amusedly at her family antics.
A few minutes later, we see the Dupain-Cheng siblings walking downstairs into their family's bakery while wearing their usual attire as Marinette was wearing a dark gray blazer with her sleeves rolled up as the inside of the blazer was lined in white with light fuchsia polka dots, and it has black trimming as, underneath her blazer, was a white t-shirt with black stitching and a flower design below the collar, rolled up pink jeans, and pink ballet shoes. Also, she wears black eyeliner with light scarlet lipstick and was wearing a light pink purse with a thin black strap over her right shoulder. Her little brother Douglas was wearing a black jacket with gold edges, a green shirt with a dragon design on it underneath it, ripped light blue jeans, and black shoes.
"La-la-la-la!" A tall man sings while presenting the teens with two boxes that were filled with macaroons. The man is a 6'4-feet-tall, 40-year-old man with green eyes, short brown hair, brown sideburns/mustache, a big nose, a sharp chin, tan skin, a large muscular built, and his outfit consists of a light blue shirt with two buttons at the front of the neckline, a silver band on his ring finger, light brown pants, and dark brown dress shoes. His name was Tom Dupain, Sabine's husband and Marinette, and Douglass's father.
"Dad, these are so awesome!" Marinette says as Douglass drooled at the sight of the delicious macarons.
"They look so good~," Douglass says, reaching over to grab the box, but Sabine swats his hand away.
"No, Douglass! You already ate! Besides, you start eating one macaroon, you will eat them all!" Sabine says as Douglass pouted and looked up to his dad for support as Tom shook his head.
"Your mother is right, son. You can't control yourself when you're around our food. We'll just have to give this box to your girlfriend when she shows up." Tom says as Douglass groans in annoyance.
"I keep telling you guys to stop calling Alix my girlfriend! We're just friends!" Douglass screams as everybody rolls their eyes with knowing looks on their faces.
"Keep telling yourself that, little brother," Marinette says with a knowing tone as the doorbell rang, and the young teenage girl made her way to the door to open it and was greeted by a 12-year-old teenager who had a cocky smirk on her face as she waved at Marinette.
The teenager is a 4'2-feet-tall, French-Arabic, 12-year-old girl with brilliant cerulean eyes, messy pink/red hair in the shape of a bob cut that is partially tied into a small ponytail on the right side, a small nose, a sharp chin, light skin, an extremely short slender and lean body, and her outfit consists of a black cap with a black old English S logo that is outlined in white on the front, a dark vermilion tank top with a black long-sleeved, azures gray shirt underneath as each sleeve has a lime green scale patterned fabric snake that starts from her shoulders and coiling around her arms until their heads stop at her wrists, black jean shorts with pink stitching and black lace at the cuffs, black 1/2 hose length socks with two pink horizontal stripes, and black high top shoes. Her name is Alix Kubdel, Douglass's childhood best friend and secret crush.
"Hey, Mari. Is Douglass home?" Alix asked as Marinette smirks mischievously.
"Douglass! Your girlfriend is here!" Marinette screams as Alix stared at her wide-eyed before blushing in embarrassment as she looks away.
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Douglass screams as Tom appeared behind Marinette.
"Hey, Alix. I was wondering if you can bring these box of macaron's to your class today. I would've asked Douglass, but you know how he is with food." Tom says while chuckling nervously as Alix composed herself and nods.
"S-Sure, no problem, Mr. Dupain." She says while stuttering a bit as she grabbed the box. Marinette was about to make another sly comment when suddenly Douglass rushed right past her as he grabbed his backpack and took Alix's outstretched hand.
"Come on, Alix. Let's go before my dumb sister embarrasses me again." Douglass says, not noticing Alix blushing again as they went outside.
"Love you, bro!" Marinette says as Douglass rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless.
"Love you too," Douglass says as he closes the door and turned to Alix. "Siblings, am I right?" Alix nodded, her blush fading again.
"I know the feeling," Alix says knowingly before smirking as she pulled out her skateboard. "Race you to school!" The pink-haired girl says as she rolls away on her skateboard.
"Hey!" Douglass yells while chuckling a bit as he pulled out his own skateboard and races after her.
"Whew, made it just in time! I hope I'm not too late for class." A handsome teenage boy says while panting a bit as he stared at his new school with an anxious/excited look on his face. The handsome boy is a 5'4-feet-tall, 12-year-old teenager with emerald green eyes, brushed-back blonde hair that is swept to the right, rosy ting on his cheeks, a small nose, and the tip of his ears, a sharp chiseled chin, fair skin, a slightly muscular lean built, and his outfit consist of a white buttoned-down shirt with an upturned collar and sleeves rolled up above his elbow, which he keeps unbuttoned as, underneath it, he wears a black shirt with five horizontal stripes around the chest, which are colored from top to bottom: yellow/olive green/bright green/dark green/periwinkle, blue jeans, and orange sneakers. His name is Adrien Agreste, son of Gabriel Agreste and a famous fashion model. "Wow...so this is school." Adrien says with a small smile on his face as he couldn't wait for his first day of school...well, any school for that matter since he was homeschooled for all of his life. Adrien's train of thought was interrupted as a silver car pulled up to him, and he groans.
"Adrien, please reconsider! You know what your father wants!" A woman yells while coming out of the car as she marched up to him. The woman is a 5'8-feet-tall, 35-year-old woman with bluebell eyes, black hair with a streak on the left side of her head that was dyed red and her hair was tied up in a bun, an average-sized nose, a sharp chin, pale skin, a slim hourglass figure, very pale blue eyeshadow, and her outfit consisted of a pair of black/red stripped framed glasses, round creamy-white earrings, a black dress jacket with a red turtle sweater underneath, black pants, and black medium-heel shoes. Her name is Nathalie Sancoeur, Gabriel Agreste's assistant, who manages his fashion work, his mansion, and takes care of his son Adrien.
"This is what I wanna do!" Adrien says as he was about to run into school when suddenly he saw Wang Fu trying to get up from the ground as he reached for his cane, but couldn't muster up the strength to do it as many people walked right past him, not helping the old man at all as Adrien, without thinking, ran over to the old man's side as he helped him up to his feet.
"Thank you, young man." Wang Fu says gratefully as Adrien smiles at him, not noticing the old man placing a Miraculous Box in his backpack as the boy tries to go back to school, but his bodyguard stops him. Adrien's bodyguard is a 6'4-feet-tall, 44-year-old man with dark blue eyes, black hair that as light gray sideburns on the sides of his head, no eyebrows, and his outfit consisting of a dark bluish-gray dress suit with a light bluish-gray sweater underneath the jacket, and dark bluish-gray dress shoes. His name is unknown, although everyone calls him "Gorilla" for his large stature.
"I just want to go to school like everybody else. What's so wrong with that?" Adrien asked as Natalie gave him a subtle, sympathetic look while Gorilla looks indifferent. "Please don't tell my father about all this." The blonde-haired boy pleaded as they got into the car and drove off.
"Two down, two to go." Wang Fu says with a smile on his face as he stood up straight and walked away just as Douglass and Alix appeared.
"Winner!" Alix cheered, winning their little race as she pumps her fist in the air in victory.
"That's not fair, Alix! You had a headstart!" Douglass says, slightly pouting as Alix puts away her skateboard, and he did the same.
"Nobody likes a sore loser, Douggy. I made it here first fair, and square-Ah!" Alix says before yelping as a foot came out of nowhere and tripped her.
"Alix! Are you okay?" Douglass says as he helped her up.
"Yeah, I've survived worse falls than that, but who did-" A familiar high-pitched laugh cut off her train of thought as Alix groans and turns around. "Oh, god. Not you again." Alix says while glaring at the girl in front of him, which was a 4'6-feet-tall, 12-year-old girl with light blue eyes, long blonde hair that reaches down to her waist, a small nose, cheekbones, a sharp chin, light skin, a slender built, and her outfit consists of a purple vest with a diamond pattern around the waist, a white long-sleeve shirt underneath, blue jeans, and black shoes. Her name is Katherine Bourgeois, Chloe's little sister and Alix's rival and childhood enemy.
"Have a nice trip, Alix. See you next fall!" Katherine says while laughing obnoxiously as Alix rolled her eyes.
"Oh, very funny, Catherine. Did you come up with that joke alone, or did your Daddy helped you?" She asked with a grin as the blonde glared at her.
"First of all, is Katherine with a K. Second, unlike my big sister, I don't rely on my Daddy to do anything. Whatever I get in my life is thanks to my good looks and brain. Unlike you, who seemed to have neither." Katherine says with a smirk of her own as Alix growled angrily and reached for her backpack.
"Oh, you so asked for it! I'm going to take my skateboard and shove it up to your-,"
"Whoa! Whoa! Alix, calm down! You don't want to have detention on the first day of school, don't you?" Douglass asked, coming in between the girls as Alix huffs and walks away.
"Whatever. You're not worth the time." Alix says as Katherine grins.
"Wow, how ironic! You're telling me that I rely on my Daddy to solve all of my problems, and yet here you are relying on your loser boyfriend to save your worthless ass." Katherine says as Alix freezes in her steps, and her fists tighten in anger.
"Alix, don't," Douglass says, trying to diffuse the situation, but it was too late as Alix turns around.
"That's it! Douglass! Hold these for me!" Alix says while handing him her hat and the box of macarons.
"Alix, please-," Douglass pleads as he grabs her hand but retracted as Alix glared at him fiercely with fire in her eyes. "You know what? Have fun. Just please don't hurt her too badly."
"No promises," Alix says as she cracked her knuckles and charges at the terrified Katherine.
"Well, here we go again," Douglass says with a groan while sitting down as he started eating his dad's macaroons. In the middle of the fight, we see a 12-year-old boy walking up the stairs leading to the school as he spotted a frowning Douglass and walked over to him. The teenager is a 4'9-feet-tall, 12-year-old boy with dark green eyes, spikey brown hair that reaches to his neck, a big nose, a sharp chin, light skin, a slender thin built and his outfit consists of a pair of circular-shaped nerdy-looking glasses, a purple-striped blue sweater with a black T-shirt underneath, brown pants, and black shoes. His name is Duncan Reynolds, Douglass, and Alix's friend.
"Hey, dude," Duncan says, greeting his friend as Douglass turned to him grumbly.
"Hey, Duncan." Douglass says as Duncan tilted his head at him confusedly.
"What are you doing out here? You're going to miss the first period. And, where's Alix?" He asked as Douglass blankly pointed at the girls, who were wrestling each other on the ground, yelling out names too inappropriate for me to write on this site.
"Ah, one of Alix and Katherine's famous catfights. What are they fighting about this time?" Duncan asked as Douglass shrugs.
"Oh, you know the usual." Douglass says as the teachers showed up. "Oh, great. The teachers are here to try and stop the fight...and now Alix is pulling on Mrs. Rodriguez's hair."
"Something's telling me you guys are going to miss class. You want me to take notes?" Duncan asks as Douglass smiles.
"Yes, please. Oh, and take this for me and share it with the class." Douglass says as Duncan nods, grabbing the box of macaroons as he walked away, and Douglass sighs as he stood up and went to help the teachers break up the fight.
"I can't believe that blonde harpy is getting away scot-free while I'm getting detention," Alix says, fuming as she and Douglass were walking to the principal office.
"I can't believe we have only been here for 5 minutes, and you're already starting trouble." Douglass chided as Alix pouted and crossed her arms.
"I didn't start anything! She was the one who insulted me!"
"She may have insulted you, but you didn't have to start a fight. You could've easily ignored her and walked away, but nooooooooo. You just had to fight her."
"Oh, so you're saying that I shouldn't defend myself? That I should just let her walk all over me as your sister does with Chloe?" Alix asked with a snarky tone as Douglass gave her a mild glare.
"First of all, don't mention that bitch's name. Second, I'm not saying that you shouldn't defend yourself, but it doesn't mean that you should start a fight just because you want to fight her. Not everything needs to be solved with violence."
"Since when?" Alix asked innocently as Douglass facepalmed.
"And now, because of you, we have to go to the principle office." Douglass says as Alix raises an eyebrow.
"What do you mean 'we'? I was the one who got sent to the principle office. Why are you even following me anyway? You're going to miss class." Alix says with a worried tone as Douglass waves off her concerns.
"Don't worry, Duncan is covering for us. And, besides, someone needs to stay behind and make sure you don't get into any more trouble. I can't have my best friend expelled from school on the first day, now can't I?" He says with a smile as Alix stared at him in surprise before blushing as she looks away.
"W-Well, thank you, I guess." Alix says quietly as they walked upstairs and see a giant 13-year-old kid standing in front of the principal office while angrily clutching his right hand. The giant child is a 6'4-feet-tall, 13-year-old boy with dark spring Budish gray eyes, short black hair except for a tuft of long dyed blonde hair above his forehead, a big nose, light skin, a large and bulky build, and his outfit consists of a black t-shirt with a white design of two crossing bones printed on the chest, black slacks with large belt loops, and large pockets, along with white socks and khaki-colored work boots. His name is Ivan Bruel.
"Oh, hey, it's Ivan. I wonder what he's doing at the principle office?" Douglass asked curiously as a black butterfly flew above them.
"Don't know." Alix says with a shrug. "Ivan's a sweet guy but has some serious anger issues." She says as Douglass grins.
"Sounds like someone, I know."
"Oh, so you're saying that I look like a man?"
"Well..." Douglass says playfully as Alix gasps and punches his arm playfully.
"Shut up!" Alix says as they laughed, but their laughter was cut short as the butterfly flies into the rugged paper in Ivan's hands and infects it as Ivan suddenly stood up straight, and a purple butterfly symbol appeared in front of his face as he glared.
"Stoneheart, I am Hawkmoth. I give you the power to seek revenge on those who have wronged you." Hawkmoth says in Ivan's brain as the bulky teen smirks.
"Is he okay? He has just been standing there, staring at nothing for a full minute." Alix says as Douglass shrugs.
"Don't know. Let's see." He says as he walks over to Ivan. "Um, hey, Ivan. Are you feeling okay, buddy?" Douglas asked.
"Okay, Hawkmoth," Ivan suddenly says as Douglass took a few steps back and watched in shock as Ivan's body glowed with dark energy, and soon enough, Ivan had transformed into a big, 7-feet-tall, muscular gray rock golem named Stoneheart as he had piercing glowing green eyes.
"Kim!" Stoneheart roars as Douglass gulps in fear at the sight of him.
"I think that's a no then."
"Douglass, look out!" Alix screams as she grabbed his hand and pulled him away just as Ivan ran past them.
"What just happened?!"
"Don't know, don't care! What is important is that we get the hell out of here!" Alix says as she started to run but was stopped by Douglass.
"Alix! Wait! Look!" Douglass says while pointing to the front gates as they could see Master Fu standing there with a calm expression, seemingly not noticing the giant rock monster heading his way. "That confused old man is about to get trampled by Ivan! We got to help him!" He says while running off as Alix groans.
"And, he calls me reckless? Wait up!" Alix shouted as she chases after her friend.
"Who was the first president of the 5th French Republic?"
"Everyone thinks it was de Gaulle, but it was actually René Coty before the first elections."
"Excellent, Adrien," Nathalie says with a proud look on her face as Adrien sighs in boredom.
After getting caught by Natalie, Adrien has been forced to go back into his house as he resumed his homeschooling with his father's assistant. While Nathalie was busy looking for the next question, Adrien looked out the window and wondered what life would be like in the real world, going to a real school and hanging out with real friends and not just his dad's coworkers, but sadly that dream would have to remain a fantasy, as long as his dad had anything to say about it.
"Give me a minute, would you, Nathalie?" A man says while walking into the room as Nathalie nods, and a feeling of dread hits Adrien's body like a tidal wave as the young man slowly looks up to his father, who gave his son a stern look as Adrien flinches and looks down. Adrien's father is a 6-feet-tall, 42-year-old man with pale light grayish cerulean eyes, combed-back light blond hair, a big nose, a sharp chin, fair skin with a rosy tint, a very tall lean muscular build, and his outfit consists of a pair of black-framed silver glasses, a very pale yellow dress jacket, a silver vest with red buttons with a white dress shirt underneath, a red-and-white striped tie, on his middle finger was a silver band ring, red dress pants, and white shoes. His name is Gabriel Agreste, Adrien's father and a famous fashion designer across Paris and other places who created and owns the fashion brand, Gabriel as he is also the husband of the deceased woman Emilie Agreste, Adrien's mother.
"You are NOT going to school. I already told you."
"Bu father-,"
"Everything you need is right here where I can keep an eye on you. I will not have you outside in that dangerous world."
"It's not dangerous, Father! I'm always stuck in here by myself. Why can't I go to school and make friends just like everyone else?"
"Because you are not like everyone else! You are my son!"
"Well, maybe I don't want to be your son!" That's what Adrien wanted to say, but the young teen kept his mouth shut as he knew talking with his father isn't going to work...it never does.
"Continue." With nothing left to say, Gabriel left the room as Nathalie gave a concerned look to Adrien and saw that he was basically shaking with rage and sadness as tears leaked down from his eyes.
"We can leave it there for today if you have-," Natalie didn't have time to finish her sentence as Adrien runs to his room and locks it as he cries on his bed.
Back at school, we see Marinette reading at the library as she remembered her past morning and, so far, things weren't exactly going in her favor as she lost all of her dad's macarons saving that old man from being run over by a car, and having her seat stolen by Chloe didn't exactly make things better. Luckily things weren't all bad as she managed to make a new friend with a girl named Alya. She seemed nice, albeit she does have a rather odd obsession with superheroes, but she wasn't so bad. Marinette thought to herself just as the ground shook, sending her and Alya to the floor as the girls quickly got back up and rushed over to the security cameras to see what was going on, and to their surprise, they saw a giant rock golem smashing everything in its sight.
"Kim!" The rock monster screams loudly.
"What's going? That monster has Ivan's voice." Marinette says, clearly confused by the situation as Alya's face brightens.
"It's as if he's been transformed into a real-life supervillain! How cool is that?" Alya says as Marinette gave her a bewildered look. Alya is a 5'5-feet-tall, 13-year-old Martinique Creole-French girl with grayish golden eyes, a beauty mark above her right eyebrow, wavy and reddish-brown ombré hair as it was growing slightly past her shoulders and light copper-red tips, heart-shaped lips with brilliant crimson lipstick, light brown skin, a curvaceous slim body, and her outfit consist of a pair of black-rimmed glasses with a white spot on each side, a short-sleeved plaid shirt with white/orange/purple stripes as she has a white tank top underneath, light blue jeans, and white sneakers.
"Hey, look! A couple of crazy kids are going to fight that monster!" A teen says as Marinette turned her head to the security camera, and her face paled as she saw her little brother and Alix running towards the monster.
"Huh? I wonder who they are." Alya says.
"THAT'S MY LITTLE BROTHER AND HIS GIRLFRIEND!" Marinette screams in terror as she took off.
"Oh, no. Where am I? I'm just a confused old man, and I have no idea what's going on." Master Fu says with an overdramatic tone as Stoneheart reaches him and was about to stomp him when suddenly Douglass and Alix came in as they tackled the old man to the ground and shielded him from the villain's wrath. Stoneheart walks right past them, not caring about anything except getting revenge on Kim.
"Hey, are you okay, sir?" Douglass asked as he and Alix helped the man stand up
"Did we push you too hard?" Alix asked worriedly as Master Fu smiled.
"Don't worry, young ones. I'm alright." He says as they sighed in relief. "I'm sorry that you have to risk your life's to save me. As an old man, I tend to get lost in my own little world from time to time."
"It's alright. Just be more aware of your surroundings." Douglass says as Master Fu nods.
"DOUGLASS!" Marinette screams as she ran out of the school with Alya following close behind. Douglass didn't have time to react as Marinette grabbed him and hugs him tightly against her chest. "I'm so glad you're okay! How are you feeling? Did Ivan hurt you? Do you have any broken bones?" She asked rapidly, not noticing her brother's face turning blue as he struggled to breathe.
"He will if you don't stop hugging him like that!" Alix shouted worriedly as Marinette blinked and noticed what she was doing as she lets him go.
"Oh, sorry, sorry!" The older Dupain-Cheng sibling apologized as Douglass panted but caught his breath as he gave his sister a thumbs up.
"It's okay. I'm fine, sis." Douglass says reassuringly as Marinette smiles before glaring at him as she pulled on his ear.
"Douglass Dupain-Cheng! How could you do something so stupid and reckless?! You could've been killed!" She screams as Douglass winces from both the ear pulling and her yelling.
"I'm sorry, but that man would've been crushed if Alix and I haven't reached him in time!" Douglass says while pointing at Master Fu, who was remaining silent throughout the whole conversation as he walked up to Marinette and gave her an apologetic look.
"Apologies, young one. I didn't mean to put your brother's life in danger. It was all my fault." He says while bowing his head as Marinette's face softens.
"It's okay, sir. It wasn't your fault. Douglass is always doing stuff like this from time to time." She says as Master Fu gave Douglass an intrigued look.
"Really? You don't say." He says as Douglass nods.
"Yep, ever since I was a little kid, I always liked helping people. So, when I grow up, I plan to become a police officer." Douglass says as Master Fu nods and turned to Alix. "And what about you?" He asked as Alix shrugged.
"Just like Douglass says, I couldn't let anything happen to you. Besides, someone had to keep an eye for him just in case he gets into trouble." Alix says while placing her arm over his shoulder casually as he gave her an annoyed look.
"Hey, that's my line!" Douglass says as she laughed.
"Well, It has been nice knowing all of you, and thank you, kids, again for saving me. Farewell." Master Fu says as he walked away, but not before discreetly placing two Miraculous Boxes on Douglass and Alix's backpack.
"Well, today sure was exciting, and since school is canceled, I'm thinking of going home and-" Douglass didn't get to finish his sentence as his sister grabbed him by his collar.
"Oh, no, you don't! You're still in trouble, young man! Just wait until mom and dad hear about this!" Marinette says before turning to Alya. "It's been nice knowing you, Alya, but I have to go home and punish my little brother." She says as Alya nods.
"It's fine. Besides, I have to get coverage on that supervillain. See you tomorrow!" Alya says before running off to chase after Stoneheart.
"Yeah, I'm going to bounce too. See you later, Douglass." Alix says as she was about to walk away but was stopped by Marinette.
"No, you don't, young lady! You're getting punished as well!"
"Why am I getting punished?! I'm not even part of the family!" Alix whines as Marinette drags them towards Tom and Sabine's bakery.
"Not yet," Marinette says with a smirk as the preteens grumbled.
Soft sobs could be heard from the inside of Adrien's room as a loud rumbling sound caught the boy's attention, and he went to investigate. Wiping his tears away, Adrien looked out the window and was surprised to see a giant rock monster barreling past the police like a raging rhino! Quickly rushing back into his room, Adrien turned on the TV, which showed an image of Stoneheart ramping throughout the city.
"As incredible as it seems, it's been confirmed that Paris is indeed being attacked by a supervillain! The police have been struggling to keep the situation under control. Is there anyone that can save us from this catastrophe?" A news reporter says as Adrien looks troubled.
"This is not good," Adrien says just as the Miraculous Box fell out of his backpack and lands in front of him as he glanced at it curiously. "Huh, what's this doing here?" Adrien says as he grabbed the box and opened it. We then cut back at Tom and Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie, where we see Douglass and Alix sitting on Marinette's bed as they waited for their punishment.
"You know, I just realized something. This is the first time that we got in trouble because of you." Alix says with a smirk as Douglass rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, I got us in trouble because we saved a man's life from a rock monster, while you got us in trouble for scratching Katherine's eyes out."
"Touché." She says just as the Miraculous Box fell out of her backpack and landed near her feet. "Hmmm? What's that?" Alix says while grabbing the small box as she stared at it quizzically.
"Don't know. It looks like a jewelry box." Douglass says as he leans against his backpack, and the Miraculous Box fell out. "What the? Hey, I have one too!" Douglass says as he grabbed the box.
"Okay, this is getting weird. We both have the same box, and we don't know where it came from." Alix says as she stares at her box curiously. "Should we open it?"
"I don't know. What if there's something dangerous inside?" Douglass asked nervously as Alix placed her hand over his.
"How about we open our boxes together, and if its something bad, then we'll tell Marinette, and she'll tell us what to do. Deal?" She says as Douglass blushes from the hand-holding but nods.
"I really hate the first day of school," Marinette says while watching the news nervously as she looks down and saw the Miraculous Box. "Huh? What's this doing here?" Marinette says as she grabbed the box and opened it as her brother and Alix did the same, and they all yelped in surprise as three bright glows illuminated the whole room, and Douglass leaped over to Alix's side to protect her instinctively as the glow subdued, and we see three small creatures floating in the air.
The first small creature resembles a white wolf as he is a 4-inch-tall, Kwami male with a large head, blue eyes, pointy white ears, small fangs, a tiny body with white fur, and a long bushy tail. His name is Lupus, the Kwami of Sound.
The second small creature resembles a bunny as she is a 4-inch-tall, Kwami female with a large head, blue eyes with pale pink eye shadow on the upper lids, big eyelashes, long white ears with rounded tips with light blue inner ears, two whiskers on her cheeks, two top front teeth with a gap in between them, a tiny white body, and a fluffy rounded tail. Her name is Fluff, the Kwami of Time.
The third creature resembles a ladybug as she is a 4-inch-tall, Kwami female with a large head, dark blue eyes, two antennas, a large black spot on her forehead/back/each side of her head, light freckles on her cheeks, a tiny brilliant crimson body, and a short tail with three tips aligned vertically. Her name is Tiki, the Kwami of Creation.
"Whoa," Alix says in amazement, not believing what she was seeing as the Kwami's smiled warmly at the shocked teens.
"Back off!" Douglass says as he rummages through his backpack and pulls out a stapler as he points it at the Kwamis threateningly. "I have a stapler, and I'm not afraid to use it!" He shouted as the floating creatures look more amused, than threaten by his statement.
"Ahh! Help! It's a giant bug! A...a mouse? A...a bug-mouse!" Marinette says as she looks over at her brother and screams. "Aah! There are more of them!" Marinette shouted panickily as she ran over to her brother and Alix and stood in front of them as she grabbed her pillow. "Guys, run! I'll hold them off!" The baker girl yelled while waving her pillow around as Tiki flew in front of the scared teen and smiled at Marinette patiently.
"Everything's okay! You don't have to be scared!"
"Aah! Bug mouse talks!"
"I think you're making things worse, red." Lupus says as Tiki gave him an annoyed look.
"I don't see you helping!" Tiki chastises as Fluff zips around the room excitedly.
"Whoa, where am I? What time is it? Am I back in the dinosaur era again? I hate that place. I'm so glad Plagg killed them all. Speaking off, where is he? If Tiki is here, he's not that far off, and I have a score to settle with him. Oh, hello. Who are you? What's your name?" Fluff asked while grabbing various items from Marinette and Douglass's shared room before stopping as she levitated in front of Alix's face.
"Uh, Alix." The small girl answered awkwardly as Fluff beamed.
"Hi, Alix! My name is Fluff! Nice to meet you." Fluff says as Lupus rubs his temples.
"Fluff, please calm down. You're scaring the kids." Lupus says while pointing at Marinette, who was crushing Douglass in a tight hug in fear.
"Can someone please tell us what's going on here? And can you please let me go so I can breathe?" Douglass asked his sister in annoyance as Marinette blushes in embarrassment and let him go.
"Sorry."
[With Adrien]
What the!?" Adrien exclaims as he covered his eyes from the bright glow, and a tiny cat-like creature appeared. The creature resembles a black cat as he is a 4 inches tall, Kwami male with a large head, cat-like green eyes, small cat-like ears, two cat incisors, one whisker on his forehead, a dark blue whisker on each cheek, the insides of his mouth are purple, a tiny black body, and a long black tail. His name is Plagg, the Kwami of Destruction.
"No way...like the genie of the lamp!" Adrien exclaimed excitedly as Plagg rolled his eyes.
"I met him once. So he grants wishes? Big deal! I'm way more personable! Hi, I'm Plagg. Nice to meet you." Plagg says as he stared at his new environment with a cat-like fascination. "Ooh, swanky..." He says while flying over to the foosball table.
"No! Don't touch that!" Adrien says while trying to grab him, but Plagg easily avoided him and flew upstairs. "Come back here!"
"Ohh! So shiny!" Plagg says while staring at one of Adrien's arcade machines. "Can you eat this?" The small feline asked as he licks it and pulled back in disgust. "No, you can't. Ooh, what about this?" Plagg asked as he flew off, and Adrien chases after him.
[Back with Marinette, Douglass, and Alix]
"Who are you? What are you?" Marinette asked, feeling a little less scared as Tiki flew in front of her.
"Listen, Kids. I know this may seem strange for you, so let me explain. My name is Tiki, and I'm a Kwami." Tiki says with her usual happy smile.
"My name is Lupus, and I'm a Kwami as well." Lupus says lazily as an excited Fluff pops in.
"My name is Fluff, and I am also a Kwami!" FLuff cheerfully says as Marinette and the others blinked slowly at their introductions.
"Uh, okay, hello. What do you want?"
"Each of you has been chosen to bear the power of the Miraculous. Marinette Dupain-Cheng, you have been chosen to wear the Earrings of the Ladybug, which grants you the power of Creation." Tiki says while handing her a pair of black earrings.
"Douglass Dupain-Cheng, you have been chosen to wear the Amulet of the White Wolf, which grants you the power of Sound." Lupus says while handing him a black amulet with a large white 'W' engraved on it, and it's held together by a gold chain.
"Alix Kubdel, you have been chosen to have the Pocket Watch of the Rabbitt, which grants you the power of Time," Fluff says as she gives Alix a silver pocket watch with a circular pattern engraved on the cover.
"Whoa, wicked," Alix says while grabbing the pocket watch as she inspects it.
"So, wait. Are you telling me that if I wear this, I will get superpowers?" Douglass asked excitedly as Lupus nodded.
"Yep!" Lupus says with a playful smirk as he zips around him. "All you have to do is put on the amulet and say, Lupus! Howl On!, when you want to transform and, Lupus! Howl Out!, when you want to de-transform." Lupus explains as Douglass beams.
"Cool! So you mention something about my power being Sound?"
"Yes. To activate your power, just say, Lunar Blessing!, and you will be able to send out a sonic roar that could level cities! But be careful because once you use it, you will change back to your civilian form in 10 minutes." Lupus warns as Douglass nods.
"Sonic screaming? That's so badass! What's my power?" Alix asked Fluff, who smiled at her.
"You'll get the power to create portals in time. You can go forward and backward in time for up to 30 seconds. To summon your power, just say, Burrow!"
"Wicked." Alix says with a grin as Fluff suddenly grew serious and looks her dead in the eye.
"But be warned because messing with time can be a serious thing, and once you use it, you will be forced to change back in 10 minutes. So only use it when it's absolutely necessary." She says as Alix stared at her wide-eyed before nodding. "Good. To activate your power, just say, Fluff! Clockwise!, to change back, just say, Fluff! Counter Clockwise!"
"Got it."
[Back with Adrien]
"I got you!" Adrien says as he finally managed to catch Plagg and stared at him confusedly. "I still don't know what you're doing here." He says as Plagg sighs.
"Look, I'm a Kwami. With the help of you're Miraculous, which is your ring by the way, I can grant you superpowers. Yours is the power of Destruction, got it?" Plagg asked as all he got was a confused shrug. "Good. Now, you got anything to eat? I'm starving."
"My dad's pranking me, right? Wait, he couldn't be. He has no sense of humor." Adrien says as Plagg gasps and flies out of his hands as he gave the blonde-haired boy a rather serious, stern look.
"Your father must never know that I exist! Or anyone for that matter!"
[Back with Marinette, Douglass, and Alix]
"Wait, wait, wait, this is going a little bit too fast! I can't be a superhero, and neither can they! We're just kids!" Marinette shouted as Tiki shakes her head.
"Like, I said before, Marinette, you have all been chosen to become Guardians of Paris. Whether your young or not, it doesn't matter because Paris needs you guys." Tiki says as Marinette groans but reluctantly puts on her earrings.
"Fine. What do I have to do?"
[Back with Adrien]
"But I'm stuck here! What good is a superhero who's imprisoned in his own house!" Adrien says as Plagg lands on his shoulder.
"No good. That's why it's all going to change soon. If you're willing to change, that is." Plagg says as Adrien stares at his ring, and with a newfound determination, he had made his decision.
[Back with Marinette, Douglass, and Alix]
"As the Ladybug, it's your job to break the object that the Akumatized victim holds most dear and capture the Akuma," Tiki explains to Marinette as Douglass and Alix walked over to them with their Kwami's flying behind them.
"Does the Akuma happen to look like a black butterfly by any chance?" Douglass asked as Tiki gave him a surprised look.
"Uh, well, yes. But how did you know that?"
"Alix and I saw a butterfly fly into a piece of crumpled paper that Ivan was holding before he turned into that monster."
"Yeah, it was really weird," Alix says as a lightbulb appeared above Marinette's head.
"That's must be where the Akuma is!" She deduced as Tiki beamed and nodded.
"See? You're getting the hang of this already, and you haven't even transformed yet!"
"Uh, right. Anyway, what's my superpower?" Marinette asked as she was still apprehensive about becoming a superhero and dragging her brother and Alix into this, but Marinette is not going to lie and say that she isn't getting quite excited about this.
"By saying, Lucky Charm!, you will have the power to create an object that will help you in battle. And, when you say, Miraculous Ladybug! and throw the object in the air, you will have the power to send a swarm of ladybugs that fixes all of the mess that the Akumatized villain had caused."
"Or you, depending on how destructive you are in battle." Lupus says with a grin as Tiki glares at him.
"You shush!" Tiki hisses before turning to Marinette. "And you also have the power the capture the Akuma and purify it."
"Hey, why does she have more powers than us?" Alix asked, annoyed as Tiki smiles at the pink-haired teen weakly.
"Well, technically, she only has one superpower. The Lucky Charm and Miraculous Ladybug are two powers in one. Also, capturing the Akuma is not really a superpower. It's more like a job she has to do." Tiki explains to Alix before turning to Marinette. "You must use this power wisely because once you use it-"
"I will change back in 10 minutes?" Marinette asked rhetorically as Tiki nodded with a smile.
"You're learning fast! Now to transform, just say, Tiki! Spots On!, and to change back, just say, Tiki! Spots Off!"
"Spots On?" Marinette asked as Tiki giggled and her body morphed into magical red energy as she flew into one of Marinette's earrings and activated it. "Whoa! What's going on?!" Marinette screams fearfully as a red/black glow covered her body, and soon enough, she had transformed into her Miraculous form. Marinette was now wearing a red skintight jumpsuit covered in black spots with a black collar/turtleneck as she also wears a red mask with five black spots in an asymmetrical design, the waterlines of her eyes are colored black, Marinette's Ladybug's Earrings are now red with five black spots in a quincunx pattern, and her hair is tied up by a pair of red ribbons, resembling ladybug's antennas or a ladybug flying when she's moving as Marinette also has a red yo-yo that was wrapped around her waist by a red string.
"Whoa, sis. Nice costume." Douglass says as Marinette checks herself in the mirror and notices that her hair has become a slightly darker shade of blue. "Ok, now it's my turn, I guess."
"Wait, what?! Wait!"
{Douglass Dupain-Cheng's Transformation Sequence}
"Lupus! Howl On!" Douglass exclaimed with a big grin on his face while grabbing onto his amulet as the young teen raises the Miraculous up high into the air.
"This is going to be fun!" Lupus says with a chuckle as his body morphed into magical light blue energy and flew over to inhabit his White Wolf Miraculous as the Kwami activates it, and the amulet glows brightly as it magically changes in appearance and was now colored blue with a large white paw print engraved on it as it was also held together by a white chain.
Letting go of his Miraculous and allowing it to fall back on his chest, Douglass raises his arms and waves his arms across his face, causing a light blue mask to appear as his light gray eyes transformed into wolf-like yellow eyes and gained small fangs as Douglass then raises his arm and a small ball of magical blue energy appeared at the palm of his hand as it expanded and the magical ball morphed into a wave of blue energy that washed over his body as Douglass normal attire transformed into a white skintight jumpsuit. Raising his arms, a smirking Douglass brushed back his long shoulder-length black hair with blue highlights as it magically turns pure snow-white and extended as it now reaches down past his shoulders, and an amused Douglass chuckles as he boops his head two times and caused two white realistic wolf ears to pop out of his head.
With his transformation sequence nearly complete, Douglass held out his arms and twirled around as another wave of magical blue energy washed over his body, and Douglass gained a pair of light blue gloves with claws in his fingertips, light blue lines that travel across his suit, and a pair of light blue combat boots as Douglass then bends down and grunted as a burst of magical blue energy shot out of his butt and a long white bushy tail as it wagged around. Standing up stoically, a costumed Douglass gave the readers a confident, big smirk on his face as Douglass raised his arms and his claws extended five times their length as he slashed at the air a couple of times and then strikes a heroic, wolf-like pose.
{Douglass Dupain-Cheng's Transformation Sequence Over}
"Wow! This is so awesome!" Douglass exclaimed gleefully while inspecting his Miraculous form as the young teen walked over to a mirror and saw that he had gained wolf-like yellow eyes with long snow-white hair that reaches down past his shoulders, two white realistic wolf ears that are attached to his head, small fangs, a real long white bushy tail, and his outfit consists of a white skintight jumpsuit with light blue lines that travels across his whole suit, a light blue mask that covers half his face, a pair of light blue gloves with claws in his fingertips, and a pair of light blue combat boots. Also, his White Wolf Miraculous had changed in appearance as it was now light blue with a large white paw print engraved on it, and it was held together by a white chain. "Wait a minute. Is this a tail? Why do I have a tail? And what happened to my hair?" Douglass asked confusedly while touching his tail as he inspected his hair.
"Don't know, but you look cute with white hair, and the tail is not bad either." Alix says while giving him a wink as he blushed. "Well, anyway, looks like its my turn." Alix says with a smirk as Marinette's eyes widen in alarm.
"Alix! No! Wait!"
{Alix Kubdel's Transformation Sequence}
"Fluff! Clockwise!" Alix yelled exclaimed as she held out her Rabbitt Miraculous in the air and a giggling Fluff morphed into pure white magical energy as she flew into the pocket watch, and activated it as it glows brightly and changed in appearance as it was now blue with a white design in the center as it has five black circles and, on the top of it, has a blue cone as, in the middle of the cover, a clock face could be seen with the hands on the clock face are arranged to look like the ears of a rabbit.
Giving the readers a big cocky smirk, Alix raised her arm as she swiped her face with her hand as a big mask appeared and covered the top half of her face as it was blue at the top and white at the bottom as it has small sapphire-colored circles at the corners of the mask. Grunting, Alix turned around as she held out her arm daintily, and a small wave of white magical energy appeared as it washed over her arm and was covered by an indestructible white cloth as Alix then twirled around gracefully and another bigger wave of pure magical white energy washed over her body as her normal clothes were replaced by a baby blue/white skintight jumpsuit that has a black turtleneck with a white cotton ball attached.
With her transformation sequence nearly complete, Alix hid her Rabbitt Miraculous in one of her front pockets as the pink-haired girl brushed back her hair and giggled amusedly as a pair of realistic white rabbit ears appeared, planted onto her head as they had black lining and have baby blue insides. Smirking confidently, Alix then held out her hands as a magical white energy spiral appeared on her hand and twirled around a bit before the extremely short girl grabbed onto it as it magically transformed into a white umbrella that has baby blue insides and a white handle as Alix grunted and began swiping the air with her new weapon as she then opened up her umbrella and placed it above her head as she gave the readers a wink and playfully sticks out her tongue as she threw a peace sign.
{Alix Kubdel's Transformation Sequence Over}
"Wicked! Check me out, Douglass! I look great!" An excited and happy Alix beams as she looked herself in the mirror and saw that she was now wearing a baby blue/white skintight jumpsuit that has a black turtleneck with a white cotton ball attached to it, a big mask that covered the top half of her face as it was blue at the top and white at the bottom as it has small sapphire-colored circles at the corners, and a pair of realistic white rabbit ears that were planted onto her head as they had black lining and have baby blue insides. Also, her Rabbitt Miraculous, which was hidden in one of her front pockets, had changed in appearance as it was now blue with a white design in the center as it has five black circles and, on the top of it, has a blue cone as, in the middle of the cover, a clock face could be seen with the hands on the clock face are arranged to look like the ears of a rabbit, and, finally, Alix had a white umbrella that has baby blue insides and a white handle attached to her back.
"But the bunny ears do look kind of ridiculous, though." Alix muses while inspecting herself in the mirror, not noticing Douglass staring at his best friend deeply as her Miraculous skintight suit hugs her body perfectly and showed off all of her curves as a large blush appeared on Douglass's face, and Marinette sees this as she smacked her little brother in the back of his head with a stern glare on her face.
"Don't stare at her like that!" Marinette whispered angrily to her little brother as Douglass grins nervously.
"We have breaking news! It seems that Stoneheart is heading towards the Montparnasse Tower, and the police are helpless to stop him! The monster seems to be unstoppable!" The transformed teens looked over at the TV in shock as they watched Stoneheart charging through the police with ease and even managing to break someone's arm! What was even worse was that they saw Alya following the monster on her bike.
"Alya?"
"Seems like your new friend has a death wish. Why is she chasing after Ivan anyway?" Alix asked as Marinette sighs exhaustedly.
"She has a thing for superheroes and supervillains."
"We can't just stand here and do nothing. We need to help her," Douglass says as the girls nod.
[Back with Adrien]
"...And, say, Plagg! Claws Out!, and say, Plagg! Claws In!, that's how you transform into your super form and back into your normal form." Plagg explains while handing the Cat Miraculous, which was a silver ring, to Adrien, who puts it on as he grinned excitedly and nodded.
{Adrien Agreste's Transformation Sequence}
"Got it. Plagg! Claws Out!"
"No, wait! I haven't finished explaining yet!" Plagg shouted worriedly as his body morphed into black magical energy and was forcefully sucked into the Cat Miraculous as it glowed brightly.
Closing his eyes, a smirking Adrien held out his ringed arm as his Miraculous magically changed appearance and was now black with a bright green paw print on it as Adrien waved his ringed hand in front of his face and a big black mask appeared as his emerald green eyes turned cat-like with green sclerae and dark green irises as he now had oval-shaped pupils. Brushing back his hair, Adrien grinned as his blonde hair grew longer and more untamed as it covers his normal ears and, speaking off, a pair of realistic black cat ears appeared as it was attached to his head.
The young model laughed joyfully as he held out his arms, and a wave of magical green energy washed over his body as his normal attire was replaced by a textured black skintight bodysuit with a golden bell around his neck that is connected to a zipper, a pair of black gloves that have claws on his fingertips, a small silver staff attached to his back, and a pair of black combat boots. With his transformation sequence nearly complete, Adrien then bends down as he grunted and a burst of magical green energy shot out of his butt as a long belt appeared and was wrapped around his waist as it acts like a tail, and a grinning Adrien stood up straight as he slashed the air a couple of times before striking a cat-like, heroic pose as the blonde-haired boy grinned at the readers cockily.
{Adrien Agreste's Transformation Sequence Over}
"Cool," Adrien says while checking himself out in the mirror as the young model saw that he had cat-like eyes with green sclerae, dark green irises, and oval-shaped pupils as his natural blonde hair grew longer and more untamed as it covers his normal ears and, speaking off, a pair of realistic black cat ears appeared as it was attached to his head. For his Miraculous outfit, it consists of a big black mask, a textured black skintight bodysuit with a golden bell around his neck that is connected to a zipper, a pair of black gloves that have claws on his fingertips, a small silver staff attached to his back, a long belt that was wrapped around his waist and acts like a tail as he also wore a pair of black combat boots. "Now, it's time to finally cut loose and have some fun." Adrien says while glancing out of his opened window with a big smirk on his face as he chuckled.
"Ok, so how do we get there? I'm pretty sure they won't let three costumed kids on the bus." Douglass says as he and the others were standing on the Dupain-Cheng's balcony.
"Well, we have special powers, and, apparently, I have this amazing super yo-yo thingy?" Marinette grabs her yo-yo as she twirled it around and throws it at a gargoyle. Experimenting, Marinette pulls the yo-yo, and it whisks her away to the other side as she screamed the whole way.
"Sis!" Douglass yelled, worried for his sister as Alix narrowed her eyes in determination.
"Let's go after her!" Alix says as she bends down and miraculously, pun intended, managed to leap thirty feet into the air as she cheered. "Whoo! This is awesome!" Alix yells as she landed on the other side of the building and continued jumping. Following her lead, Douglass crouches down as he leaped in the air and landed on a roof of a building as Douglass noted that he didn't jump as high as Alix, but he seems to be agile enough to travel by himself, so that's at least a plus, I guess.
"I think I'm getting the hang of this," Adrien says while using his new weapon to act as a tightrope as he walks in between two buildings.
"Look out!" A familiar female voice rang out as Adrien looks up and yelps as Marinette falls into his arms and accidentally got tied up by her yo-yo.
"Well, hey there. Nice of you to drop in." Adrien says with a smirk as Marinette blushes in embarrassment.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." Marinette says as Douglass and Alix appeared.
"Don't worry, sis! We're here to-" Douglass says before stopping in his tracks as he saw the predicament that his sister was stuck in. "What's going on here?"
"Do we need to give you guys some privacy?" Alix asked teasingly as both teens blushed.
"I-It isn't what it looks like! This was an accident!" Marinette said as Douglass helped free them.
"Girl, I know, I was just teasing you." Alix says as Marinette glares at her.
"I bet you three are the partners that my Kwami told me about. My name is Chat Noir. And you?"
"The name's Bunnix," Alix says with a confident smirk on her face.
"Pleasure to meet you, Cottontail," Chat Noir says before turning to Marinette, who was busy trying to free her yo-yo from Chat Noir staff. "And you are?"
"Me? I'm Ma-" Marinette says before wincing as she pulls the yo-yo, and it hits Chat Noir, causing Bunnix to laugh. "Madly Clumsy. I'm so clumsy." She says as Chat Noir rubs his head.
"No sweat, clumsy girl. I'm learning the ropes too." Adrien said, not really angry at being hit with her yo-yo as Douglass decided to introduce himself.
"Hi, my name is White Loup. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, kitty." White Loup says while shaking his hand.
"Likewise, bushy tail." Chat Noir says as the ground shook, and a building was destroyed.
"Oh, yeah. There's a bad guy around, kind of forgot about that." Bunnix says as she and Chat Noir start running.
"Hey! Where are you guys going?" Marinette screams as Chat Noir uses his staff to reach the top of the building while Bunnix simply jumps over it.
"To save Paris, right." Chat Noir says as they disappeared.
"Well, they're gone. Come on, Mari. We should go after them and make sure they don't get hurt." White Loup says as Marinette sighs but reluctantly pulls out her yo-yo as she grabs her brother and swung away. We cue to Parc des Princes, where we see Kim and his classmates finishing P.E., but then Stoneheart shows up as he landed behind them and roars.
"Kim!" Stoneheart screams as everyone ran to safety, except for Kim, who was paralyzed with fear. Stoneheart grins as he reached out to grab him when suddenly Bunnix showed up as the pink-haired teenager grabs onto Kim and jumps off as Stoneheart growls at this in annoyance and was about to try and chase after them, but a long metal staff stops him in his tracks.
"Hey! It's not very nice to pick on people who are smaller than you!" Chat Noir says while landing in front of Ivan, who glared at him.
"I guess you're talking about yourself," Stoneheart says as he tries to smash the small feline, but Chat Noir easily avoided his attacks.
"Everything's going to plan. Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous have been activated. And, it seems that the Rabbitt Miraculous has been activated as well. I don't really need her Miraculous, but you can never have enough. Stoneheart, grab her Miraculous as well! It's the pocket watch on her front pocket!" Hawkmoth says to Ivan, who nodded as he went past Chat Noir and headed straight toward Bunnix.
"There, you're safe now. No need to thank me, I was just doing my job." Bunnix grins before frowning confusedly as Kim suddenly ran off screaming. "What's his deal?" A large shadow covered her tiny body as she looks up and saw Stoneheart glaring at her. "Oh, hello, there. You won't hit a girl, would you?" Bunnix says as Ivan rears back his fist, and she gulps. "I guess that's a no."
"Hey!" Chat Noir says as he jumps in, extending his pole, and smacks him hard enough to send Ivan to the floor. "Don't you know it is rude to gang up on a lady?" Chat Noir asked with a glare as Stoneheart growls in anger and his body glowed green as he grows bigger.
"Oh, that is so unfair!" Bunnix says as Stoneheart swats Chat Noir away and threw a punch at Alix as Bunnix prepared herself to jump when suddenly Marinette and White Loup come in as Douglass grabbed Alix, and Marinette swung them to safety.
"The White Wolf Miraculous has been activated as well? Oh, well. The more, the merrier, I guess. Stoneheart! Grab his Miraculous as well! It's the amulet around his neck!" Hawkmoth says as Stoneheart nods.
"Got it, Hawkmoth."
"Oh, hello there. Nice of you to drop in." Bunnix quipped as White Loup gave her a deadpanned look.
"We became superheroes for about five minutes, and you already got in trouble," Douglass says exasperatedly as Alix shrugs.
"What can I say? Danger is attracted to me." Bunnix says as White Loup sighs.
"You know, sometimes I wonder how my life would've turned out if I've never met you." He says as Bunnix rolls her eyes.
"Oh, come on. You and I both know that you will be bored without me."
"True." White Loup says as Chat Noir landed next to them.
"How about instead of flirting with each other, you help me fight against that behemoth?" Chat Noir asked before running off as the teens blushed.
"R-Right, let's go, White Loup!" Bunnix says as Douglass nods and reached over to grab his weapon...only to grab a fistful of air.
"What the? Wait a minute, I don't have a weapon!" White Loup says while searching his pockets frantically.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you get an umbrella, my sister gets a yo-yo, and that guy gets a staff, but I have nothing! How am I going to fight that thing without summoning my superpower? Sis, what do we do?" White Loup asked Marinette, who was frozen in fear as she saw Chat Noir being overwhelmed by Stoneheart.
"I can't do this. I'm not going to be able to do it." Marinette says while hugging herself as Stoneheart grabs a net and throws it at Alya, who was filming the whole event on the other side of the stadium as time seemed to slow down, and White Loup narrows his eyes in determination as he began sprinting towards Alya and everyone watched in shock as Douglass's claws extended five times their length, and he slashed the net apart, saving Alya as White Loup glanced down at his claws in awe.
"Whoa! My weapon is my claws?" Douglass says while staring at his claws as Alya stares at him in shock.
"Wicked!" Alix says as she ran toward him and grabs her umbrella. "Run along, miss. We don't want you caught in the crossfire again." She says as Alya nods and ran to safety. "How about you use your new claws, and let's tag team this guy!" Bunnix says as Douglass smirks.
"Don't mind if I do!" White Loup says as he ran towards Ivan on all fours and slashes him...only for Ivan to grow even bigger as Alix winced.
"Oh, yeah, did I forget to mention that every time you hit Stoneheart, he gets bigger?"
"THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN VALUABLE INFORMATION TO KNOW EARLIER!" White Loup yells comically as Stoneheart lifts his foot to stomp him, but Bunnix saves him as she blocks his attack with her umbrella.
"Yeah, sorry about that." Alix apologizes as Chat Noir ran between Ivan's legs and used his staff to trip him.
"Uh, clumsy girl? I little help here!" Chat Noir screams as he runs into battle again. At first, Marinette was unsure about fighting against that giant rock creature, but after watching her little brother, Alix, and that Chat Noir guy fight against Stoneheart with so much bravery in their hearts, it inspired her to take action! Chat Noir groans in pain as Stoneheart managed to grab him and was squeezing the life out of him. Luckily, Marinette came in as she wrapped her yo-yo around Ivan's legs and pulled, causing Stoneheart to fall down as he lets go of Chat Noir.
"Animal cruelty? How shameful!" Marinette quips as everyone regrouped.
"Nice quip, sis." White Loup says as Chat Noir gave him and Marinette a surprised look.
"You two are brother and sister?" Chat Noir asked as Marinette glares at Douglass.
"White Loup! Secret identities, remember?" Marinette hisses as White Loup rolled his eyes.
"Oh, yeah, because we're the only siblings in all of Paris." Douglass says sarcastically.
"Enough, chit-chatting! It's time to fight!" Bunnix says while gripping her umbrella tightly as Chat Noir smirked.
"Couldn't agree more, Cottontail!" Chat Noir says as they started running but were pulled back by the Dupain-Cheng Siblings.
"Easy there, guys. Don't you remember that fighting won't work against that guy?" White Loup asked as Marinette nodded.
"White Loup is right. We need to come up with a different strategy."
"Like what?" Chat Noir asked as Marinette deflated.
"Uhhh...I don't know."
"What if we use our superpowers?" White Loup suggested as Chat Noir grins.
"Good idea, bushy tail. Cataclysm!" Chat Noir yells as his ring finger was now fused with destructive energy.
"Ooh, trippy. What does it do?" Alix asked curiously.
"Apparently, I can destroy anything I touch."
"Awesome!" The pre-teens say as Marinette scoffs and rolled her eyes.
"I don't need a superpower to destroy anything." Marinette says as Chat Noir stares at his hand curiously before eyeing the destroyed net as he touched it. "No, don't do that!"
"What are you doing?! Why waste your power like that?" White Loup asked, but Chat Noir didn't hear him as he was too busy staring at the disintegrated net in shock/amazement.
"Cool! It's just you and me now! Time to rumble, soon-to-be rumble!" Chat Noir then charges at Ivan, ignoring his teammate's protest.
"I should be annoyed by him, but that was a good pun." White Loup says with a defeated, annoyed sigh.
"What if his powers work differently then ours? Maybe, he can use it how many times he wants." Alix says as Chat Noir leaps toward Stoneheart and landed on his leg.
"Cataclysm!" The feline hero yells as he waited for the villain to turn to dust...but nothing happened as he blinks.
"Or maybe not." White Loup says deadpanedly.
"Uh-oh. I guess I get only one shot to use my superpower." Chat Noir says as Stoneheart throws him off, and he landed next to his team.
"And, now you only got ten minutes left before you change back. Didn't your Kwami explain anything to you?" Marinette asked sternly as Chat Noir rubs his head sheepishly.
"I guess I was too excited about my new life." Adrien says as White Loup facepalms.
"Eh, it's okay. I would've done the same thing too." Bunnix says with a lazy shrug.
"And, that's why I have to look after you, and apparently him as well." White Loup says as Chat Noir scoffs and rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"I don't need a babysitter. Besides it's obvious that I'm a lot older than both of you, so it should be me who is in charge of you."
"Yeah, like I'm going to listen to a guy who wears a bell around his neck without feeling embarrassed whatsoever," Douglass says while jiggling his bell as Chat Noir gave him an annoyed look. Alix giggles in the background.
"Guys, please. I need to focus!" Marinette says as the group stopped arguing. "Besides, I think it's my turn to use my superpower. Lucky Charm!" Marinette yells as she throws her yo-yo in the air, and a swarm of ladybugs appeared as they created...
"A wrench? What am I supposed to do with this?" Marinette says as she grabbed onto a cartoonishly large ladybug-colored wrench.
"Remember what Tiki said. She said that your lucky charm can summon an object that will help you in battle. Maybe you need to figure out a way to use it." White Loup suggested as Marinette nodded understandingly.
"And you better do it fast because here comes Stoneheart!" Bunnix says while pointing at the rock monster, who was slowly making his way towards them. Marinette hums as she looks around the stadium, and her lucky vision highlighted Chat Noir, Bunnix, the big wrench, the water valve, and finally, her brother.
"I have an idea! Bunnix, use your superpower to reach that valve over there in exactly fifteen seconds, and open it with this." Marinette instructed while handing her the wrench as Bunnix nodded.
"On it! Burrow!" Alix yells as she summons a time portal and jumps through it.
"Quick, we don't have a lot of time!" Marinette says as she wraps up Chat Noir with her yo-yo. "Don't resist. Trust me!" The feline superhero didn't have time to react as she throws him towards Stoneheart.
"This girl is crazy!" Chat Noir screams as Stoneheart grabs him.
"Okay, White Loup, use your Lunar Blessing on Stoneheart, but aim it toward the ground." Douglass nodded, trusting his big sister, as Marinette grabbed him by his shoulders and turns him over to Stoneheart. "Wait for it...wait for it..." Marinette says as a time portal appeared beside the water valve, and Bunnix jumps out as, not wasting any time, Alix opened the water valve with her wrench as water gushed out. "Now!"
"Lunar Blessing!" White Loup yells as he took a deep breath and roars. Everyone, minus Stoneheart since he doesn't have ears, covered their ears in pain as giant light blue soundwaves came out of Douglass's mouth, and the sheer power of his scream broke apart the ground and caused the pipes below to burst open as Stoneheart was sprayed with high pressurized water. Stoneheart roars in discomfort as he covered his face and accidentally drops the crumpled paper that was in his clenched hand. Seeing this, White Loup stopped screaming, and races after the akumatized object as the white-haired teen swiftly slashed it apart with his claws as the Akuma appeared and flew away.
"And, that's lady and gentleman is how you save the day." White Loup says with a grin just as Stoneheart lets go of Chat Noir as he turned back into his normal form.
"This girl is awesome. She's crazy awesome!" Chat Noir says in awe as everyone regrouped.
"Nice plan, Wonder Bug. You really saved the day." Bunnix says.
"Couldn't have said better myself. You were awesome out there!" White Loup says as Marinette blushes at the praises.
"You were incredible out there, miss. You did it!" Chat Noir says as Marinette shakes her head.
"No, we all did it. As a team."
"Pound it!" The teens yell as they shared a fist pump and their Miraculous beeps, signaling that they have only eight minutes left before they change back into their civilian forms.
"We should get going. Our identities must remain a secret." Marinette says as Chat Noir bows.
"Farewell, my lady. And, see you later, carrottop. You too, bushy tail." He says with a grin as everyone rolled their eyes at his nicknames. "Let's do this again sometime!" Adrien screams as he runs out of the stadium.
"Not too soon, I hope." Marinette mumbles.
"Agreed." White Loup says as Alix shrugs.
"I don't know about that, he seems to be a like a pretty cool guy." Bunnix commented offhandedly as Douglass rolls his eyes in irritation.
"Only because he's the male version of you, except even more reckless." He says as Alix gives him a sly look.
"Aw, don't be jealous, my little wolf. You know, I only have eyes for you." She says while batting her eyes as Douglass blushed.
"What!?" Douglass yells as Bunnix laughs.
"Just kidding! You should've seen your face! It's so red!" Alix says before laughing even more as Douglass glares at her.
"That's enough, kids," Marinette says with an amused smile on her face as she walks over to Ivan. "Hey, are you okay?" Ivan says nothing as Marinette spotted a piece of paper on the ground and picks it up as she reads it. "You don't even have the guts to tell Myléne you lover her, wuss."
"Aw, poor guy. Why would Kim-I mean that kid do that to you?" Alix asked as Ivan looks away with a glare.
"Kim wrote it. He's always making fun of me." He says as Marinette placed her hand on his shoulder.
"You know, you shouldn't get so bent out of shape about that."
"Yeah, man. I'm pretty sure this Kim guy was just playing around, but even if he wasn't, you shouldn't let him get into your head like that." White Loup says as Marinette nods.
"He's right. There's no shame in telling someone you love them, Ivan.
"Hey, how did you know my name, miss?" Ivan asked as Marinette panicked.
"Um, well, you see-"
"We overheard a couple of your classmates yell your name earlier," Bunnix says as Ivan nodded understandingly, and Marinette sighs in relief as she turns around to walk away when suddenly Alya shows up out of nowhere and points her camera in her face.
"Uncanny, amazing, spectacular! Are you gonna be protecting Paris from now on? How did you all get your powers? Oh, I've got a ton of questions to ask you, uh..."
"The name's White Loup. The guy that left is named Chat Noir, and this is Bunnix." Douglass says while pointing at Alix, who waved. "And she is called..." White Loup trails off as he didn't know what to call Marinette.
"Uh...Ladybug! Call me, Ladybug." Marinette says with a soft smile on her face as she swung her yo-yo and took off.
"Don't worry, miss. We will answer all of your questions later, but for now, we need to run. Let's go, Bunnix."
"But I wanted to have an interview." She says as her pocket watch beeped, signaling that she only has five minutes left.
"Now." White Loup stressed as Alix pouted but nodded as she grabbed Douglass's hand, and they jumped off.
"So, awesome!" Alya says as the superheroes disappeared from sight.
"So, thanks to his amateur footage, the Parisians now know the identities of their heroes!"
"We did it, Tiki!" Marinette says as she and Douglass relaxed in their shared room with their Kwamis as they watched the news, which showed an image of them fighting against Stoneheart.
"You see! I told you that you were up to it!" Tiki says as Douglass nods.
"I have to agree with Tiki. You were a natural out there, sis." He says as Marinette smiles.
"Thanks, bro. You weren't too bad yourself." She says while ruffling his hair.
"Oh, I can't wait for our next mission! I wonder what bad guy we'll fight next." He says as Lupus smirked.
"Won't it be cool if the next villain we fight is a giant lava monster that shoots lava out like a canon?"
"Oh, that will be so cool!" Douglass says as he and Lupus shared a fist bump.
"They seem to be getting along," Marinette says as Tiki sweatdropped.
"A little too well, now we have two Lupus's." Tiki groans.
"Kids! Dinner time!" Their mother yelled as the Dupain-Cheng siblings ran downstairs while their Kwamis stayed behind as we then cue to the Kubdel house, where we see Alix watching the news as the young girl was lying upside down on her bed.
"Hey, bro! When's dinner going to be ready?" Alix asked as her older brother came into her room. Alix's brother is a 6-feet-tall, 17-year-old man with brilliant phthalo blue eyes, chin-length moderate tangelo hair, a big nose, a sharp chin, light skin, and his outfit consists of a pair of glasses, an orange scar, a scarab pendant, a grayish-green jacket with a white shirt underneath as it has a symbol of a golden Eye of Horus on it, beige jeans, and sandals. His name is Jalil Kubdel, Alix's older brother.
"Dinner is going to be ready in five minutes, sis."
"Good," Alix says as she glanced at the TV and smirked as she saw herself, as Bunnix, saving Kim. "So, what do you think of the new superheroes? Pretty cool, right?" She asked as Jalil shrugged.
"They're cool, I guess. You know, I'm not really into superheroes." Jalil says as he left.
"Whatever," Alix says while rolling her eyes as she stared at the image of White Loup saving her and blushed slightly. "You know, I never noticed how good he looks in that outfit," Alix commented to herself quietly while staring at her best friend's Miraculous form for a rather long period of time as Fluff appeared above her.
"Are you in love with Douglass?" Fluff asked innocently as Alix shrieked in surprise and blushes heavily as she falls down from her bed.
"Love!? Where did that come from? We're just friends!" Alix exclaims while sitting up as Fluff scoffs.
"Come on, kid. Who are you fooling? With all of the constant flirting, it's obvious that you love each other!" Fluff stated with a big smile on her face as Alix blushed even more and covered her face with her pillow.
"We're just playing around! It wasn't anything serious!" Alix says, her voice muffled as Fluff rolled her eyes, and meanwhile, in the Agreste Mansion, we see Adrien watching the news as he stared at the frozen picture of Ladybug with a love-struck look on his face.
"Ladybug. Her name is Ladybug." Adrien says as Plagg suddenly zips in front of him with a bowl of ice cream in his hands.
"Eww, what is this?" Plagg asked as Adrien frowned.
"Seriously? My personal chef made that."
"If you expect me to get my energy back after the transformation, I need to eat something more...delicate!" Plagg says as Adrien sighs.
"Okay, what do you want?" Plagg smirked as he was about to speak when suddenly the TV blared.
"We interrupt your program for breaking news!" The boys turned to the TV, not knowing that their teammates were watching as well. "Just as Paris is about to celebrate the appearance of our new superheroes, a new wave of panic is sweeping across the capital as dozens of people are mysteriously transformed into stone monsters. It's simply unbelievable." The Kubdel family stared at the TV in shock as Alix shared a look with Fluff before scarfing down her dinner as she raced to her room. "These victims transformed into stone beings are still like statues. The police are perplexed to what will happen to them. Will they come back to life or be frozen in time forever?" Back at the bakery, we see Tom comforting his wife as Douglass shared a look with Marinette, and they both ran upstairs.
"Plagg, what's going on? I thought we defeated him?" Adrien asked.
"Fluff, why is everybody turning into Stoneheart's? I thought we beat him?" Alix asked.
"Guys, we need to talk. Why is everybody turning into rock monsters? I thought you said that if we beat the akumatized victim, everything will be back to normal." Douglass says.
"Did you capture the Akuma?" Tiki, Plagg, Lupus, and Fluff asked at the same time as the kids tilted their heads confusedly.
"What's capturing the Akuma got to do with the other stone beings?" Marinette asked.
"An Akuma can multiply. That's why it must be captured. If Ivan's emotions become negative again, then the Akuma will turn him back into Stoneheart! He'll control all the stone beings and bring them to life to serve as his army!"
"Oh, that's not good," Douglass says as Lupus scoffs.
"Overstatement of the year, kid. If we don't do anything soon, all of Paris will overrun by Stoneheart's!" He says as Marinette's eyes widen.
"So, that means...this is my fault? I knew it! See, Tiki? I'm not cut out to be a superhero! I'm only gonna keep messing up!"
"Sis, don't say that. You were awesome out there! So, you made one mistake, big deal! It's not like it is the end of the world."
"Douglass is right. Besides, this was your first time," Tiki says, trying to reassure her as she saw that Marinette was starting to panic.
"Yeah, don't beat yourself up, pigtails. It wasn't your fault. It was ours. We were in so much of a rush that we didn't have time to explain everything properly."
"Yeah, so why don't I just call Alix, and we can all regroup, so we can come up with a plan. And hopefully, that Chat Noir guy will show up to help us," Douglass says while grabbing her hand, but Marinette swats his hand away.
"I can't! I told you, I'm clumsy! I create disasters all the time! I'll only make things worse for me, you guys, and everyone! White Loup, Bunnix, and Chat Noir will be better off without me!"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is I'm quitting!"
"So, White Loup, Bunnix, and I can't do anything without Ladybug?" Adrien asked as Plagg nodded.
"Only Ladybug has the power to capture the Akuma and repair all damage caused by the supervillain," Plagg says.
"What do you mean we had to capture the Akuma? I thought we were only supposed to defeat Stoneheart!" Alix yells as Fluff lands on her bed.
"I'm afraid defeating the villain isn't enough. You also have to capture the Akuma and purify it, so it doesn't make more." Fluff says as Alix groans before slapping herself as she gained a determined look.
"Fine, then. Let's go out there and capture the Akuma!" Alix says as she was about to transform, but Fluff stops her.
"Again, it's not that simple. Only Ladybug can capture the Akuma."
"Are you serious?" Alix says, a little peeved, as she sat down on her bed.
"Quit? You can't quit! There are people out there who need us, and you're going to turn you're back at them?" Douglass asked with an incredulous look as Marinette shakes her head.
"It's not that simple, Douglass! I can't be Ladybug! I'm just a stupid, clumsy girl that is way over her head! You and the others are better off capturing the Akuma by yourselves!"
"I don't think that's possible. Only Ladybug is capable of capturing the Akuma." Tiki says as Marinette looks down before shaking her head as she takes off one earring.
"What are you doing?" Tiki asked, alarmed.
"If Douglass and the others can't capture the Akuma, then...just find another Ladybug. I told you, guys. I'm not cut out to be a superheroine." She says sadly as she reached over to grab her other earring, but Douglass stops her as he gently grabs her hand and gave her a comforting look.
"Marinette, please don't do this. You're just overacting. Just because you made one mistake doesn't mean that we can't still fix things. We can still save Paris, but we can't do this without you...I can't do this without you. Please, for the sake of all Paris, make the right choice." Douglass pleaded as Marinette gave him a sad frown and stood up.
"I...I'm sorry, Douglass, but this is for the best," Marinette tearfully says as Douglass gave her a betrayed look.
"No, wait!" Tiki didn't have time to stop her as Marinette takes off her earring, and the Kwami of Creation disappears.
"Tiki!" Lupus screams as Douglass continued staring at his big sister.
"Marinette..." The young girl couldn't bear to see the disappointed look Douglass was giving her as she ran out of the room and locked herself in the bathroom.
"I'm sorry, Douglass. I'm sorry, Tiki. I can't...I'm not strong enough." Marinette says as she sniffles and started crying.
"What do we do, kid." Lupus solemnly asked as Douglass stared at the empty spot where Marinette was with an emotionless look on his face as he sighs.
"I don't know, Lupus. I just don't know."
And done! Man, was this chapter fun to write! I hope you guys liked the story so far, and if there's anything that you didn't like, feel free to tell me. Criticism is welcome!
Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
