A few years its been since I've seen alot of fanfics involve with Lila framing or ruining Marinette's life and then the next, Marinette gets akumatized to expose Lila's lies. Too predictable and too easy. But I noticed there hasn't been a single event after the episode Ladybug where Marinette gets reinstated back to school but in the end, she saw that Adrien and Lila are photoshooting together. Not a single thing in mind to see Marinette feel upset and disappointed while Adrien only made it worse to not only get Lila to lie to the school to prove Marinette's innocence for him in exchange for the photoshoot with him. Which pretty much upset Marinette more.
So this time, I wanna try something new than the old fanmade plot of Marinette getting akumatized into Princess Justice. This time it will be different. Like let's say lies and dark humor jokes may be fun and hilarious to those who are bullies but then the next, it turns the bad jokes and lies on them to become literal reality and to pay the price to suffer how it feels.

It had been a week since Ladybug and Marinette Dupain Cheng had mysteriously disappeared and no one knows where, when, and what happened to them. Her parents have closed the bakery due to the overwhelming and devastating state they are in. Even the school was worried too, especially the events of whoever framed Marinette had something to do with it. Still, no one but Adrien pointed fingers at an Italian liar who looked 'innocent' to them.
He was sure she had a hand in her being missing. Ever since he had no choice but to make Lila do another lie as convincing as it is to prove Marinette's innocence to get reinstated back to school. But now he felt something was off her being missing for some reason.
"No leads, no witnesses. Nothing" Adrien was very worried but also relieved that there hadn't been an Akuma for a week which seemed very odd.
Especially on his patrols, his lady never came at all. No voicemail and no texts from her at all. Like she mysteriously disappeared the same day as Marinette did.
"Please don't tell me Milady's been kidnapped too," He thought in worry.
"Ever since you've been co-modeling that liar, you did nothing to protect your princess mentally and physically" Plagg reminded him.
"I had no choice but to get Lila to lie. I had to get Marinette back to school to prove she's innocent" Adrien said.
"In a stupid way, kid. You knew Lila hated Marinette and Ladybug. You think Ladybug is happy with you co-modeling with her worst enemy?" Plagg said.
"No" Adrien replied.
"You screwed it up, big time. It's what you're really good at. Listening to your father instead of listening to your damn soul for once" Plagg glared.
"This is all my fault," Adrien said.
If only he would speak up for himself, and not cause more problems to other people he cares about. But he made it much worse since he now views Lila as a bully than just a liar. A very talented one to lie her way out of trouble and the innocent gets blamed for a crime they didn't commit.
"I guess I deserved it," He said with guilt.
The news came on live about another incident of a male teenager suffering a hairy situation like a werewolf.
It was the fourth victim this week and no one has found the suspect. Adrien has heard that these victims were either making jokes or a lie but then the next day, it comes true like a curse they didn't mean to say.
"Something's not right. Plagg, It's time to figure out who's behind this" He got up.
"CLAWS OUT!" He transformed into Cat Noir.
He jumped out the window and onto the roof to head to the crime scene. As he made it there, the victim was going crazy with so much hairy situation on his body.
"Ooh, it's like looking at Bigfoot legend" Cat Noir did not have to see that.
"It was a joke! A joke! I never meant to call a kid a hairy butt!" The victim panicking so much, scratching all the itch on his hairy arms.
"What the hell is going on?!" Cat Noir asked.
"The voice! The voice! I thought it was a dream! Then it said that my joke had become a reality in the morning! And it did!" The victim pulling Cat Noir's cat bell in so much anxiety.
"A voice? How did it sound like?" Cat Noir asked.
"Like a girl but menacing," The victim said.
"Jeez! Calm down! Just start from the beginning! What happened?" Cat Noir pushed him off, "Did you see what she looked like?"
"No. It was like a shadow moving all around the walls. Eyes glowed like red and the whisper sent chills down my spine. And then she warned me about what happens when I bully, I pay the price. Or if I lie or joke around cruelly, it becomes my reality curse for eternity!" The victim explained his story.
"Hmmm….sounds like the other victims are struck by the same suspect. It hates bullies, liars, and dark humor" Cat Noir thinks that the suspect is an akumatized person but doesn't know who it is, "Did she say her name?"
"No, but she was so scary with that demonic voice! Please save us all!" The victim shook Cat Noir's shoulders aggressively.
"Easy! I will stop this menace, even without Milady" Cat Noir shoves him off.
"She can put a curse on you! All of the bad people she hunts! Even for a cat burglar like you who dresses like a cat burglar!" The victim sucking his thumb out of stress.
"I'll be careful," Cat Noir said.
"Okay, let's get you to the hospital to clean you up. And Mr. Noir, this could be new and dangerous" The medic said.
The victim kept shivering as Cat Noir continued his search. The Akuma is an unknown victim but unrecognized and has a deep hatred towards bullies, tormentors, liars, and deceivers. Chloe could be next and knowing her, she's way too insolent to ever care about her safety and the dangers around her. So Cat Noir heads for the hotel. Chloe may not be a fan of him but he needs to be serious with her. Despite her bragging about wanting the bee miraculous for weeks, she still hasn't learned about responsibility.
Landing at the entrance of the hotel, he asked the staff if Chloe was there or not that she might be the next victim. He was being serious and that Chloe needed protection whether she liked it or not.
"She's in her room" They finally said.
"Thank you" He goes in the direction to head to the level floor of the room.
When he got there, he knocked on the door, "This better be my room service this time!" Chloe ranted from inside.
"Not room service. Superhero visit" Cat Noir said.
"The furball whiskers? Where's Ladybug with the bee miraculous?" Chloe asked.
Cat Noir groans before opening the door impatiently, "Just listen carefully. Another victim is attacked and I think you're next, Chloe. I just fear that this person is an akunatized villain and apparently hunts bullies. Like you for example" Cat Noir tries to hold in his frustration before Chloe starts to say something obnoxious.
"Me? Give me a break!" Chloe scoffed.
"This is serious! Have you ever watched the news lately?" Cat Noir facepalmed at how irresponsible she is to not listen.
"Who cares?! Everyone adores me. No one is gonna hurt me" Chloe said with a big ego attitude.
"Be careful what you wish or say, Chloe. Dreams can turn into nightmares. Fantasy is not the same as reality" Cat Noir warned her since she won't listen, there's nothing to reason with her, "This menace turns bad jokes and lies into reality so watch your tongue"
He remembers a few times of Akuma curses struck at her and yet she hasn't learned a valuable lesson at all. But if Chloe is live bait, perhaps he'll catch a glimpse at the attacker tonight.
"You are gonna help me with one thing Chloe" He gave her a devious smirk.
"Get your fleas out of here, feline beast!" Chloe insulted him.
"Watch it, Chloe!" Cat Noir glared at her.
"Just go find mice filth in dumpsters like real alley cats for all I care. If you can't give me the bee miraculous, you're utterly useless!" Chloe said.
"You better start respecting cats because they can claw you so deep. Cats do not like to be provoked or insulted. And black cats are a symbol of bad luck but also the omen of death" Cat Noir hissed before taking his leave.
"Good riddance," Chloe said.

Night approached and Cat Noir blended in the night before sneaking into the grand hotel without being seen. He's unsure if this Akuma is like a ghost, a boogeyman, a poltergeist, or even something new.
"Alright mystery akuma, any time now" He waited.
Earlier he placed cat cameras in Chloe's room before he left in case he missed something he didn't see.
He sits down to wait for any sign, "That selfish brat better not open her big mouth about something" Cat Noir observed Chloe getting her hair dried by a hair dryer.
He yawned as nothing seems to happen. He can't fall asleep now or he'll miss it and definitely won't know who the Akuma villain is. He then woke up alert from being half asleep when he saw a shadow moving slowly towards Chloe.
"Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! That cat should be at the vet getting his fleas off! Where is Ladybug who is a no-show?!" Chloe complaining like a brat.
The dark shadow chuckled and placed a curse on Chloe to suffer tomorrow in the morning at what her insults would become to her.
Cat Noir then saw the shape appear, "What the? No!" He rushes inside the balcony before that shadow figure gets away.
Just as he had the chance to grab the figure, it went through the floor like a ghost. His leap crashed into Chloe by accident.
"Hey! Get off!" She exclaimed.
"Sorry about that!" Cat Noir got up.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Chloe yelled at him.
"RAWR!" Cat Noir leaped out yowling.
He looks as if the figure is out there. Apparently, it was gone and he missed it. But he did see it was a female with glowing red eyes but no appearance of its features. Like a dark ghost from the darkness of Hell.
"There's no such thing as ghosts. Definitely an Akuma but I didn't see where the akumatized object is" Cat Noir said, knowing that it placed a curse on Chloe to suffer some kind of 'plague' tomorrow morning.
Something about Chloe talking about cats with fleas but he sure knew it wouldn't be such a good sign if Chloe brought in nasty itchy hygiene of fleas. He had to observe and gather facts on what this akumatized villain really does and why.

The next morning in school, Adrien did indeed see Chloe scratch herself like crazy. Not only just that but she gained dog ears and a cat tail too for when she said "everyone adores her" which only means bringing way too much attention like stalkers.
"ARRRGGGHH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE WITH THESE FLEAS!" Chloe screamed so loud it made everyone run when she said she had fleas. Even Adrien ran to avoid getting away.
"Hahaha! Serves her right for insulting about your cat fleas" Plagg laughed.
"This isn't funny, Plagg. And I have no fleas" Adrien groaned.
"Right. But these actions are unpredictable" Plagg said.
"It's about to get worse for these victims and Ladybug is a no-show. Where is she?" Adrien said.
"I have no idea," Plagg said. They then hide in the boiler room.
"I better try to contact her, Plagg claws out!" He transformed.
"Ladybug! Come in!" He tried to contact her but in vain.
The call did not reach and it only showed that she was not available because she was not transformed.
"Damn it, milady!" Cat Noir growled, "Where are you when I need you?!" He stomps in frustration.
No choice but to get the students to calm down before they alarm the authorities to sanitize the school or quarantine everyone.
"We got a school to take care of," Cat Noir said.
Unaware that the shadow figure was hidden in plain sight at Chloe's own torture she's going through.
She snickered darkly at her deed, "Yes, Chloe. Be careful what your big mouth says or it comes true to you"
