tbehartoo:tbehartoo:tbehartoo:nazikart:Okay so hear me out. One day Marinette comes home really tired from saving Paris all the darn time. But she’s Ladybug and she’s ok with that. But one day a bunch of dumb people decide to protest against her and CN because Hawkmoth keeps terrorizing Paris when all he needs is just their miraculous. So they just decide to blame it on her instead. Marinette is obviously sad with that and she just gives her earrings back to Master Fu. (probably just sneak them in while he isn’t watching). And later that day she gets akumatized (because ya know she’s a human and she is allowed to have feelings and stuff).So she turns into Black Plague (feel free to tell me some other names if you want). She starts terrorizing all of the Paris, just to show people what it’s like to not have a hero to save the day. But she can’t get her earrings back cause Master Fu is a sneaky bastard and he already gave them to “someone else”. And that someone else is Adrien. That’s how we get Mister Bug (gosh are we really calling him that). And Adrien probably needs the gang to defeat Black Plague. So the do some *magic* *magic* some creative thinking and boom the villain is caught. So Adrien knows that this is Ladybug (cause he isn’t completely dumb okay he can make some connections). And he lets the gang leave and then does the cleansing stuff. So now Adrien knows Marinette is Ladybug *BOOM partial reveal!!!!*. And now when Marinette sees the new Ladybug superhero I feel like she’d have a crush on him cause you know he’s so nice and Adrien seems to have Kagami anyway *BOOM another love square thingy*Aaand I think that’s it for now I haven’t thought of the ending yet. If anyone feels like continuing this idea in a comic or a fanfic I’d really love to see it! And please tell me if this idea was already done by someone (the fanbase is so big I can’t keep up with you guys)Your wish was too good to pass up. Thanks @platypan and @alienducky for the beta help!Black PlagueChapter 1- The End is NearIt was with a feeling of great relief that Marinette broke Militant Campaigner’s akumatized protest sign under her foot. This akuma had been particularly vicious and she would be glad to cleanse the butterfly and get back home to the lunch she’d abandoned on the kitchen counter.“Pound it!” she called in tandem with her partner as they did their traditional fist bump at the end of a job well done.It was only because they’d had years of fighting experience that they ducked and rolled away from the silent and sudden attack from the most recent akuma victim.“Ladybug! How dare you use me to terrorize this city? My home! My family!” The woman shouted her accusation as she swung her protest sign at the spotted hero.“I’m not terrorizing the city! Hawkmoth is!” she countered as she dodged the woman’s wild swings. “You say that, but we both know he’d stop if you just gave him your stupid earrings!” The woman threw down her sign and lunged at Ladybug who quickly moved away. “In my experience, the only way to stop a bully is to stand up to them, not hand over your lunch money.” She silently signaled Chat to move behind the attacker as she spoke. They had to be extra careful when dealing with non-akumas. Damage done when not under Nooroo’s tainted power could not be easily repaired. “Do you really think that giving him what he wants will make everything better?” the spotted hero asked truly intrigued.“Of course it would,” the woman grabbed for her sign again. “Everything was fine before you showed up.”“I showed up because everything was not fine,” Ladybug didn’t shout but her voice was intense and focused as she moved around to keep the woman’s attention on her.“But it will go back to the way it was if you’d stop menacing the city!” the woman snarled before striking out with the sign. “You are the reason my children can’t sleep at night and why my husband abandoned us to move far away from this madness!” She began to swing rapidly and wildly in Ladybug’s direction.Chat managed to grab the woman from behind and pin her arms to her side, even as her sign rained down on Ladybug’s head.“We’d be better off without you!” the woman screamed as Chat cataclysmed the protest sign before tackling the woman to the ground.“My lady, your time,” Chat cried urgently as her earrings gave off their two-minute warning. “I can hand her over to the police. Please, go!”His insistence was to protect her identity, she knew that, but it almost sounded like he was siding with their attacker.“I’ll see you later, Bugaboo?” he offered with a gentle smile.Ladybug was about to return the gesture when the woman pinned beneath the cat-themed hero yelled out, “I wish you’d disappear! I never want to see you again!”Normally, crazed messages like this coming from misguided Parisians didn’t really bother her. If put in their position, she would be upset too. Seeing her beloved city torn apart daily all for the sake of some sparkly jewelry would have made her furious had she not known the true power of the Miraculous. She herself may have been the one leading those angry protests demanding she give up her earrings if she was in their place, maybe. But this message, in particular, irked her. Could this woman really not see who the real villain actually was? Was she that oblivious to what was going on around her that she’d rather put the fate and safety of the world at stake in exchange for her husband to move back in? Why not move out with him? Her kids may have trouble getting to sleep, but that may stem from sources far outside of Hawkmoth. This was her finding the one big, uncontrollable part of her life and then attacking the one thing that was keeping it in check. She grew tired of the uninformed trying to demand something that would be to their detriment.Parisians were unsettled. Hawkmoth had yet to be held accountable for his actions. Most of all, everyone was upset about this untenable situation. Especially Ladybug.“You want me gone? Fine!” she turned away and whipped her yoyo out to the nearest ledge. “Bug out!” Keep readingLast time I forgot to also thank @miraclesoup for help with the beta’ing. Hopefully now I’ve got everyone that has helped me write this story. Thank you all!Chapter 2- State of EmergencyAdrien was still lying face up on his couch where he’d dropped once Chat Noir had split to become Adrien and Plagg. The lunch time akuma had been such a terror to deal with and then for that protester to continue the attack afterward? Hawkmoth was certainly upping his game. He didn’t think he had it in him to deal with any more monsters today.“Kid, you’ve got about five more minutes to eat before your warden comes in to get you,” the little kwami said as he was eating his own preferred food with a tender gusto.Adrien knew that he had officially spent too much time near Plagg when the smell of Camembert had gone from stinky annoyance to mildly appealing. Or maybe he was just really hungry? He was almost through the first half of his lunch when his phone began to vibrate. Adrien sighed and checked it expecting nothing more than Nathalie’s reminder that his time was up, instead it was the akuma alert going off. He groaned. Hawkmoth had been sending two and sometimes three akuma a day for months! It was as if the inept villain had grown steadily more desperate and was trying to just wear him and Ladybug out. He hated to think that the tactic might be working. If it hadn’t been for the help of the rest of the miraculous holders then the strategy would most definitely have worked on him.His phone began to ring again. Adrien hurried to answer that particular ringtone. It was only ever to be used in times of dire emergency.“Master?” Adrien answered anxiously.“Chat Noir, you are needed here immediately.” Master Fu’s voice was quiet but earnest. “Do NOT engage with this akuma before you see me or before the others have their kwami. Understand?”Adrien nodded even though he knew the Miraculous Guardian couldn’t see him.“I’ll be there immediately,” he said even as he turned to call on Plagg.“Please hurry,” Master Fu urged, “Marinette’s fate depends on you.”The phone hit the ground just as Chat Noir leapt from Adrien’s window. Keep readingChapter 3- The Judgment of ParisHow glorious to be free to feel! Years worth of keeping a lid on those baser emotions had broken lose and she was finally unchained, unfettered, and unrestrained in what she could feel.And what Black Plague felt was livid.Black Plague vaguely remembered in her former life that she had cultivated a positive attitude and worked hard daily to reign in her feelings, not easy for someone as deeply caring as Marinette had been. She shook her head. All of that work and worry to avoid becoming akumatized, for what? Why had she ever tried to avoid this? It was amazing to be well and truly infuriated for her secret friend, Ladybug. Now that the worst had befallen her, she felt free for the first time in what felt like forever!She took a moment to relish in the anger coursing through her. All those days of pushing down negative feelings, trying to feel things only shallowly, they were over now. The red hot anger filled up her bones and made her muscles twitch for action. She had to move! The feeling compelled her out into the city. Watching the black blotches fly out of her hands gave her a giddy feeling knowing that more of the city would feel Ladybug’s pain at their rejection.Noticing that the rat trails let her glide even more quickly across roads and bridges, almost as if she wore ice skates, she spent a good few moments going from trail to trail building up speed and yelling all the things that had ever bothered her since the first akuma appeared. She screamed out all those things that Ladybug had confided in her as her deepest troubles and trials, as well as a fair few that had troubled Marinette over the past few years.“Being a frequent akuma creator is not a quality to embrace, Chloe!” She whipped around a corner shedding black dots as she screeched, “Frequent akumatizations mean you are an evil person, Lila! Show some consideration to the people around you and get your vile instincts under control!” As she zoomed past the Louvre she shouted, “Telling someone to take the high road so that others aren’t made uncomfortable is not the same as having someone’s back, Adrien!” She tore under the Arc de Triomphe howling in the wind, “Making people afraid to feel those feelings that come to all of us is-,” she broke off abruptly as she came to a halt. “That is the ultimate in awful, Hawkie,” she whispered. “It is terrible to make someone afraid of their own feelings,” she sniffed.
