The year was 2025. 5 years since the defeat of Gabriel Agreste
Marinette Dupain-Cheng was on the ground injured and bleeding as Cerise stood over her body smiling down at her
"You thought you could outsmart me Marinette, you should know I'm much smarter than you." Cerise said which made Marinette try and get up but Cerise kicked her back down
"You never know when to quit don't you?" Cerise asked which made Marinette smile as she wiped the blood from her nose
"I'm a hero and as a hero, I never quit." Marinette said as she got back up to her feet
"How can you defeat me, You're injured, I'm pretty sure you have multiple broken bones and yet you can still fight, what are you?" Cerise asked
"I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng l, holder of the Ladybug Miraculous and the last Guardian of the Miraculous box, and like I said before. I'm a hero and heroes don't quit." Marinette said as she fought off the pain in her body and rushed towards Cerise where Marinette tackled her and started punching Cerise in the face until Cerise kicked Marinette in the ribs then pushed her off as Marinette held her chest as tears came out of her eyes and she was struggling to breath
"Look what you made me Marinette, you could have surrendered and been taken to the hospital to get fixed but no you had to still be a hero and continue fighting and now your ribs are possibly stabbing your lungs which is making you struggle for breath." Cerise said as she put her hand under Marinette's chin
"It's too bad you can't redo the past and fix this fucked up future right." Cerise said as she threw Marinette onto the ground then she looked at the Miraculous she had collected
"I am now the new Monarch of this world." Cerise said as she put on all the Miraculous
"Don't do it, Lila, if you unify all of them, you'll go crazy from the immense power of the Miraculous." Marinette said as she sat up
"My name is Cerise." Cerise said as a crazed look appeared in her eyes
"You're just jealous that you can only unify 2 Miraculous at a time because you're afraid of power, well I'm not like you so I'm not afraid of power." Cerise said
"That's where you are wrong Cerise, I'm more powerful than you even when I wore every Miraculous when I was 14." Marinette said as she smiled
"And yet you still transform with 2 Miraculous." Cerise said as she finished putting on everything Miraculous
"Get ready for my godhood Marinette." Cerise said then she called every kwamis name
"Tikki, Plagg, Trixx, Pollen, Nooroo, Duusu, Wayzz, Mullo, Barkk, Xuppu, Orikko, Daizzi, Roaar, Sass, Fluff, Longg, Stompp unify." Cerise said as every Kwami went into their Miraculous
"Yes, I can feel the immense power washing over me." Cerise said as she laughed then she stopped as she felt something wrong
"What's going on, why do I feel funny?" Cerise asked
"That's the side effect of wearing every Miraculous, your body can't handle the immense magical power from the Miraculous so it's destroying you from the inside out." Marinette said as she watched Cerise glow then an explosion happened which blinded Marinette as she covered her eyes and when it died down Marinette saw ash and smoke where Cerise stood and she saw every Miraculous destroyed
"These are way beyond repairs." Marinette said then she heard her name being called
"Marinette are you in here!" Alya shouted
"I'm here." Marinette said as she saw her friends coming then she felt herself get dizzy and coughing up blood then she blacked out which made her friends shout in worry as they ran over to her and they saw the extent Marinette was in. Ribbed clothes revealed her skin that was all purple, blood everywhere and she saw she was struggling to breathe air in
"Hurry we have to take her to the hospital before we lose her." Alya said
"What about the Miraculous?" Rose asked
"Who cares, Marinette is our only focus at this moment." Alya said as they carefully picked Marinette up and carried her outside where an ambulance was waiting
"Hurry put her on the stretcher." The paramedic said as Marinette's friends put her on the stretcher and the Paramedics quickly went to work
"I believe she may also have internal injuries, collapsed lung, broken jaw, and multiple broken bones as well." Paramedic said
"How long has she been fighting Cerise and was she still fighting even if she was injured?" Juleka asked
"I don't know but Marinette has never been able to quit even when she was injured. She believes she'll save everyone even if it costs her own life in doing so and I believe she might not survive this." Alya said as tears formed in her eyes
"We already lost Adrien to Cerise when she corrupted him and Marinette had to destroy him which broke her heart and soul." Rose said
"Yeah, Marinette wasn't the same after that and she went from fun and loving Marinette to cold and Heartless Marinette, even Chloe tried to help but Marinette went berserk on Chloe and said how everything that has happened since day 1 is all Chloe's fault." Alya said
"But it wasn't Chloe's fault was it?" Mylene said
"No, it was all of us." Ivan said which made them look down then they saw the Ambulance driving away to the hospital
Inside Marinette's mind
Marinette walked around somewhere dark as she looked around for a light source
"Hello, is anybody here?" Marinette asked but she heard nothing then she heard a voice
"You have to redo the past to fix the future." Strange voice said
"Who said that?" Marinette asked as she looked around then multiple lights appeared then kwamis appeared
"Marinette our Miraculous are now destroyed which you can't fix, in our last moments we sent our powers into you just before Cerise destroyed herself and the Miraculous." Tikki said
"So the Miraculous and you and know gone from this world?" Marinette asked
"Yes." Tikki said
"But what was that voice telling me I have to redo the past to fix the future?" Marinette asked
"That would have been me." Fluff said
"Why?" Marinette asked
"Because this future wasn't supposed to happen." Fluff said
"Are you saying something happened in the past for this future to happen." Marinette said which made Fluff nod her head
"That's right and you now have the power to go back to your 13-year-old self's body just before you got the Ladybug Miraculous and redo the past again." Fluff said
"Can I change it and not get the Ladybug Miraculous?" Marinette asked
"It won't work, you'll always get the earrings no matter what." Fluff said which made Marinette sigh
"So I'll have to relive my PTSD again." Marinette said
"Sadly yes." Fluff said
"I can't do anything at the moment, in hospital being treated for injuries." Marinette said
"You're on life support, your injuries were worse than the doctors have seen." Tikki said
"What do you mean by that?" Marinette said
"You had a skull fracture, serious internal bleeding, multiple broken bones, and a collapsed lung. The doctors were amazed you were still standing when your friends found you when they did." Tikki said
"So I could live or die?" Marinette asked which made the kwamis nod their heads
"But don't worry I can use my power to heal the more serious injuries so you could live." Tikki said
"Thanks, Tikki." Marinette said
"No problem Queen of the Miraculous." Tikki said as more kwamis appeared
"Are they from the temple?" Marinette asked
"Yes, after what happened to our Miraculous they also destroyed their Miraculous as well so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands like ours and they also sent their magic to you." Tikki said
"So what would happen if I got sent back to the past?" Marinette asked
"Us kwamis from the only miracle box would feel our magic signature from the future and know what would have happened." Fluff said
"I see." Marinette said then she smiled
"Then let's go back to the past." Marinette said
"Sorry Marinette you can't do it while we're inside your mind it won't work, you'll have to wait until you're fully healed up to do it." Tikki said
"Right, wait until I'm healed then go back to the past." Marinette said
"Before I forget you might forget who Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch is." Fluff said
"What, I'm going to forget that Gabriel Agreste was Monarch." Marinette said
"Sorry, Marinette." Fluff said
"So I have to go through the past again without knowing who Hawk Moth is?" Marinette asked
"Yes, but we'll remove the spell from knowing Hawk Moth is Gabriel Agreste when you're ready." Tikki said
"I see." Marinette said then she sat down since she was in a coma
"Oh before I forget, it's been 3 months Marinette, time to wake up." Fluff said as he disappeared
Outside of Marinette's mind. Hospital room 3 months ago
Alya sat next to Marinette as she was holding Marinette's hand telling her what happened
"We went back to the warehouse where you and Cerise had that final fight. I'm sorry girl but every Miraculous is destroyed and we looked at the Grimoire that was translated and only broken Miraculous can be repaired and not destroyed ones since the kwamis are now gone from the jewellery." Alya said as she cried
"I'll miss Trixx, it's going to be quiet without him around causing mischief with my sister's." Alya said as a sad smile appeared on her face
"Our friends miss you Marinette." Alya said
"Paris misses you Marinette, they have delayed a statue revealing in honor you as Ladybug and Marinette." Alya said as tears formed in her eyes
"I don't know how I can function without you, you are like a sister to me, we've been through so much together." Alya said as tears fell from her eyes then a nurse stood by the door which Alya saw
"I got to go girl, but I'll be here every day by your side." Alya said as she let Marinette's hand go and walked out not seeing Marinette's finger twitch
Every day for the past 3 months, Marinette's friends, family, and strangers have been visiting Marinette leaving cards, flowers, and gifts by her bedside then the next day Alya was in the same spot every day for 3 months
"It's been 3 months Marinette, the doctors think you ain't going to wake up and that they might have to pull you off life support." Alya said
"But I don't want you to die, I need to hear your voice again." Alya said then she felt something squeeze her hand which made her look up and she saw Marinette opening her eyes
"Mari." Alya said as happy tears fell from her eyes
"Alya." Marinette croaked out
"Hang on let me get a doctor." Alya said as she ran out of the room then seconds later the doctor came in a saw that Marinette was awake
The doctor helped Marinette wake up and removed the tube from her mouth
"How are you feeling Marinette?" Doctor asked
"Sore." Marinette croaked
"That would be expected with the amount of injuries you had." Doctor said
"I'll let you catch up with your friend who hasn't left your side ever." The doctor said as he walked out
"Oh, Marinette I missed you so much." Alya said
"I missed you as well." Marinette said but with a croaked voice
"How's my family doing?" Marinette asked
"They are doing great, the city has been helping them out everyday." Alya said
"(Let's ask about the Miraculous and see what Alya will say.)" Marinette asked
"How are the kwamis, are they doing okay after what happened?" Marinette asked
"They fine, they spent their time in the Miracle box after what happened and they were asking for you as well." Alya said
"Alya, I know what happened to the Miraculous and the kwamis no need to lie to me." Marinette said
"I'm not lying, they are in the miracle box." Alya said
"Alya please, I know they are not there anymore." Marinette said
"How do you know they are not there?" Alya asked
"Because they are inside me." Marinette said
"What do you mean they are inside you?" Alya asked
"Just before Cerise got destroyed the kwamis sent their magic and soul into me and now I can talk to them and use their magic as well." Marinette said
"So you can use the same powers as the kwamis like we used to do as heroes?" Alya asked
"Yeah, and Trixx says she misses you and those sisters of yours." Marinette said which made Alya cry then Marinette yawned
"I'll let you go back to sleep but I'll be back tomorrow." Alya said
"Alya can you bring Chloe here tomorrow, I want to apologize for what I said about and that everything was her fault when in fact it wasn't." Marinette said
"You sure?" Alya asked which made Marinette nod her head then she closed her eyes and slept while Alya walked out where her friends were waiting
"I heard Marinette woke up." Rose said
"She did but she fell asleep again." Alya said
"I'm glad she's awake and we won't have to turn her life support off." Zoe said
"Zoe can we have a word in private." Alya said
"Sure." Zoe said as the two girls moved away from the group
"Zoe, Marinette asked for Chloe." Alya said
"What for?" Zoe asked
"To apologize for what she said to Chloe." Alya said
"I don't think Chloe will want to hear it." Zoe said
"Why not?" Alya asked
"What Marinette said to her was true and Chloe's in therapy and helping Mylene with charities, so what Marinette said to her helped her see that mother wasn't a good influence on her." Zoe said
"I see but what can I tell Marinette then?" Alya asked
"I'll talk to Chloe tonight and see if she wants to accept Marinette's apology or not." Zoe said
"Thanks Zoe." Alya said
"No problem." Zoe said then the two walks walked back to their friends and they left the hospital and gone home
At the hotel
Zoe stood in front of Chloe's bedroom and knocked on Chloe's room then Chloe opened her door
"Do you need help with something?" Chloe asked
"Marinette woke up today." Zoe said
"I'm glad she did." Chloe said
"And she wants to apologize for what she said to you months ago." Zoe said
"Let me stop you right there Zoe, I've already forgiven Marinette for what she said to me and she's right I've been trying to get Mom's approval by being just like her but all it did was make her not even know my name or even love me." Chloe said as she cried which made Zoe hug her
"It's alright Chloe, you have me and Andre now." Zoe said
"You know you can call him father, daddy, or dad now. You have been with us since you moved here when you were 14 which was 4 years ago." Chloe said
"I know but I got used to calling him Andre now." Zoe said as she pulled away
"About Marinette apologizing to me tomorrow, I'll be there." Chloe said
"That's good to hear." Zoe said
"Now out, I was during my evening routine." Chloe said as she pushed Zoe
"Alright, I'll leave you and Sabrina when you call each other and have phone sex." Zoe said which made her laugh as she saw Chloe's face blush
"We don't do that." Chloe said as she fully pushed Zoe and then closed the door while Zoe was still laughing then she walked to her room and that's when she noticed Pollen wasn't going to greet or beg for honey like she normally does
"I miss you Pollen." Zoe cried as she got onto her bed
The next day at the hospital
Chloe stood in front of Marinette's hospital room while Marinette's friends were behind her, Chloe gathered her courage and entered Marinette's room and when she entered she saw Marinette smiling
"Chloe, I'm glad you here." Marinette said
"Marinette what you said is true and I forgive you so you don't have to apologize since I have changed now." Chloe said
"Oh, I thought you would have hated me when I said those things." Marinette said
"I did for a short while but while I was watching my mother I noticed no matter who the person is she thinks she's more important than them even the President of France got told by my mother that he wasn't even a big deal." Chloe said
"What happened after that? Marinette asked
"Let's just say mother won't be returning to Paris after that accident." Chloe said
"I'm sorry that happened to your mother, Chloe." Marinette said
"Don't be she could have changed like me but she didn't." Chloe said then she walked to the door but before she left she turned around and smiled
"Marinette, thanks for letting me be Queen Bee when we were 14 it was an honor to fight by your side." Chloe said then she walked out of Marinette's room
A few months later, Marinette is released from the Hospital
As Marinette exited the hospital she was blinded by flashes from cameras from the media and questions being thrown at her until her friends and the police all stood in front of her as they helped her to the car
"Don't make me ask my Daddy/Andre to get a restraining order for Marinette so you guys don't annoy her again!" Chloe and Zoe shouted at the same time
"Come on, she's the hero who saved the entire world, why can't we take a picture of the legend herself." A journalist said which made Alya whisper in Nino's ear
"Was I this bad when it was only Marinette and Adrien?" Alya asked
"You were babe." Nino said
"Look Marinette just got healed up, she won't be asking any questions at the moment until she's ready." Alya said as she walked forward then the journalist's started to ask Alya questions instead
"We noticed you visited Marinette often, what is your relationship with Marinette?" A journalist asked
"No comments at this moment." Alya said then she pulled Chloe and Zoe over to the group
"Team Miraculous we have a new mission, if you don't want to accept this mission walk away." Alya said
No one walked away
"Good." Alya said
"What's the mission?" Ivan asked
"Protect Marinette from the Journalist at all times." Alya said
"We can do that." Kagami said
"Then let's head to the bakery and we could possibly have a sleepover with Marinette." Rose said
"That's if her parents let her." Alya said as they walked to the bakery where they entered the apartment door and walked up the stairs to the apartment where they knocked on the door and Sabine opened the door
"Come in." Sabine said as she moved out of the way
"Your parents dropped off your clothes since you revealed your plan on live television." Sabine said as they all walked in and saw Marinette on the couch
"Hey guys." Marinette said
"Hey." They all said
"Right, have fun kids, and be careful Marinette." Sabine said
"Will do mom." Marinette said then her mother was gone
"Finally I thought she would never leave my side." Marinette said as she glowed pink and she felt her body heal itself which shocked her friends as they walked over
"How did you do that?" Max asked
"That's what I'm going to tell all of you guys since it's about the Miraculous and the kwamis." Marinette said as they all sat in front of her
"You remember how you found me almost dead." Marinette said
"Please don't make us remember that." Kim said
"Sorry, anyway Cerise tried to merge all the Miraculous but in doing so her body got overloaded with powerful Miraculous magic." Marinette said
"Does this have to do with that very bright light?" Nathaniel asked
"Yes, Cerise's body started cracking as the Miraculous magic started coming out and then she was engulfed in a ball of light and when it died down in her place was just ashes and burnt destroyed Miraculous and that's when I heard you coming and when you appeared I blacked out." Marinette said
"Yeah, you were in a coma for 3 months." Alya said
"It would have been less but I was in my head talking to the kwamis." Marinette said
"How can you talk to the kwamis when their Miraculous are destroyed?" Nino asked
"Just before Cerise exploded the kwamis transferred their magic and soul into me and that pink light you saw well you know what is since it's been flying around for years." Marinette said
"So you healed yourself by using Tikki's power?" Mylene asked
"Yes, and there's also something I have to tell you as well." Marinette said
"What is it?" They all asked
"The kwamis told me I have to go back to the past and redo it so this future doesn't happen." Marinette said
"How far are we talking about?" Sabrina asked
"To when Ivan first got akumatized by Gabriel." Marinette said which made them all wince since that was 5 years ago
"That happened 5 years ago when we were still 13 or 14." Chloe said
"I know." Marinette said
"Did they also say what would happen if you got sent back to the past?" Zoe asked
"I would lose my memory of Gabriel Agreste being you know who." Marinette said
"Does that also mean Adrien will be Cat Noir again?" Alya asked
"I don't know, the question is would I still be Guardian of the Miraculous or would I still have the kwamis soul and magic in me if I do go back to the past." Marinette said
"You would also have to deal with Cerise again as Lila and her lies." Rose said
"Yeah, I know." Marinette said then Alya had an idea
"Marinette what if you could change the past a little." Alya said but before Marinette could open her mouth Alya started talking again
"Hear me out, you have the power now right." Alya said
"Yeah." Marinette said confused
"Make the akumatized split but when they split from us we start to remember everything just like you maybe except for knowing who Gabriel was and we can help you not just as Ladybug but also as Marinette as well. What do you say, Team Miraculous going back to the past and helping Marinette fix it." Alya said
"It could work but if the akumatized do split from their victims then where shall they go so they don't start rampaging through the city of Paris?" Marinette asked
"Build a prison that can hold them and their minions." Max said
"What about the staff, who's going to look after the place?" Marinette asked
"They will be created thanks to the power of emotion and creation right." Kagami said
"Senti-Monster prison guards being brought to life by the power of creation." Marinette said
"Oh don't forget having the police force that goes around Paris helping the heroes stop crime and up deal with civilians who are in the area." Sabrina said
"Wouldn't that make the Paris Police go lazy and not do any work." Marinette said
"My father can join the police force so he can still work." Sabrina said
"And create your own company as well Marinette." Max said
"Guys these are lots of favors you are asking me to do and I thought we were going to change the past by a little." Marinette said
"We were but this the past we are talking about." Alya said
"Okay anything else?" Marinette asked
"Create other businesses but they are owned by you." Chloe said
"Um, like what?" Marinette asked
"Hotel." Chloe said
"Why would there need to be another hotel?" Marinette asked
"For us stupid." Chloe said
"And don't forget about the celebrities as well Chloe." Zoe said
"Oh yeah I can't forget about the celebs as well." Chloe said
"Is that all." Marinette said but her friends weren't finished yet
"Build a mall where you can sell your designs." Chloe said
"Oh, build a Team Miraculous base just for us." Kim said then they all started talking over each other which made Marinette snap at them
"Enough!" Marinette shouted
"Those are great ideas but remember I don't have the power to change the past." Marinette said then 18 bright lights appeared and the kwamis revealed themselves
"Actually Marinette, you can change the past since you have Plagg and Tikki." Wayzz said
"That's right, when combined together Gimmi can grant a wish." Marinette said
"Since our Miraculous are now destroyed and we are no longer bound by them, Gimmi can't help." Tikki said
"Okay, so how can I change the past then?" Marinette asked
"Oh, you guys will find out when Marinette recites the Ancient spell that has only been used once." Plagg said
"What Ancient spell?" Marinette asked
"Only the true Guardians know the words and you Marinette is the one." Longg said
"Are you saying I'm a true Guardian?" Marinette asked which made the kwamis nod their heads
"Yep, and we'll still be with you when you return to the past." Wayzz said
"Wouldn't that be confusing since you guys are still bound to intact Miraculous?" Max asked
"I thought my holder was smart." Kallki said
"Hey, I'm smart but we are going back to the past where you guys are still bound to the Miraculous." Max said which made Kallki facepalm or face hoof which made Max rub his head
"Right, Marinette will be Guardian meaning you guys will see her again." Max said which made Kallki happy
"Finally he gets it." Kallki said
"Okay, let's do this." Alya said
Marinette closed her eyes and started to speak the Ancient spell in an Ancient language which made her start glowing which made Team Miraculous smile then they looked at each other
"See you guys in the past with our memories again." They all said then a flash of light swept over the entire universe and when it died down, Marinette opened her eyes and found herself in bed
"Marinette wake up, you're going to be late for your first day at school." Sabine said
"Mom, what year is it?" Marinette asked
"It's 2020, why?" Sabine asked
"Just asking." Marinette said as she smiled
"I did it, I'm back in the past again but that also means this is the day I'll meet Tikki and get my Miraculous." Marinette said as she got out of bed, got dressed, and walked downstairs to have breakfast then after she was done she walked downstairs to where her father was, kissed him on the cheek, grabbed the box of macarons, and was out of the door
Marinette walked to the crossing and that's when she saw Master Fu doing the same trick as he did before so Marinette grabbed him and brought him to safety
"Oh thank you dear." Wang Fu said
"It was no problem sir." Marinette said then she heard the bell
"Seems like I'll have to go, I'll see you later sir." Marinette said as she ran across the street to school but instead of entering she hid behind the wall and watched Master Fu enter her home which made her smile
"I'll see you soon as well Tikki." Marinette said as she entered the school property, ready to learn all the lessons again.
