It has a happy ending....right? {COMPLETED}

Chapter 15

Ladynoire scaled the news channel building, mindful of the alarm that was set inside. If she managed to crack the window in any way, the alarm would sound and their plan to take down Misterbug once and for all would be ruined. The snow fell over her, sending a shiver down her back. The cold breeze that blew through her braid was chilling but the sight of the city covered with white fluffy snow was beautiful. Ladynoire finally reached the rooftop, landing nimbly on the gritty texture.

"Okay, I'm going in," Ladynoire said through her earpiece.

"Good, The alarm system controls are in the small room on the roof," Ryuko said back, Ladynoire spotting the room and carefully breaking the lock with a blowtorch that was given to her. Though no one trusted her with a blow torch, no one else was able to climb the roof without being noticed. Her black suit did help to blend in with the jet-black sky behind her.

The lock was almost off its chain when Ladynoire heard footsteps behind her.

"Going somewhere?" The obscured silhouette said. Ladynoire squinted her eyes to see Misterbug, standing with a smirk on his face. Ladynoire smirked. The plan to lead him here was successful, and he didn't realize the trap.

"Yeah, I was in the neighbourhood and thought I would watch the news channel while I was at it," Ladynoire said, quick with a retort. "Guys, step one is done, commence step two," Ladynoire said under her breath, barely moving her lips so Misterbug wasn't suspicious.

"Crazy, I was doing the same thing," Another voice chimed in. Fennick appeared by Ladynoire, smiling widely while he raised the chain from his neck. Misterbug had managed to fix it with Tikki's power merged with a special serum he mixed with the dust of the miraculous.

"Oh?" Ladynoire's ears perked up. "You managed to fix it pretty boy," The corner of her mouth raised to a proud grin as she circled around him, her braid acting as a tail as it trailed around his body.

"Aw, that's too bad. Fennick was always annoying to me," Queen Cobra trailed her arms down Fennick's chest from behind. Misterbug looked down to Ladynoire's gaze, her smile so cat-like that he felt her purr against his chest. Or, maybe she was actually purring.

"You thought I'd be dumb enough to come alone?" Shelly soon appeared and so did Ryuko, four against two. Well, that was true until Sting showed up.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road," Sting smiled, nudging Misterbug in the arm.

As they fought, Ladynoire felt her body weaken, the crack in her ring still affecting her. She couldn't let herself lose, not now. Their plan was working so well and they were so close. As Misterbug called upon his lucky charm, Ladynoire made a quick change in their plans, calling upon her cataclysm at the same time.

As the red and black object fell from the sky. Before Misterbug could analyze possible plans for the object, Ladynoire quickly grabbed it, turning the towel to dust. "W-what?" Misterbug stumbled back. Ladynoire heaved from the exhaustion of her cracked miraculous and the exhaustion of using cataclysm. Her laughter slowed, as she wiped her forehead of sweat.

"I didn't know if it would work but-" She paused, looking from her hand to Misterbug's terrified look. It was only a matter of time before he lost his spots and would be revealed to everyone. "It did,"

"You bitch!" His adrenaline-boosting his frustration, he pounced on Ladynoire, pinning her wrist against the concrete ground and quickly slipping the ring off her slender fingers and placed it in his pocket before looking down at the dishevelled figure. "Marinette?"

The name set Shelly's, Queen Cobra and Ryuko's internal alarm off, quickly turning to stare at the pair. Fennick and Sting did the same with the same expression as Misterbug. Sure they suspected her of being Ladynoire months ago and Adrien had kept a close eye on her, but the realization finally hit them. Ladynoire was Marinette.

"What? Not what you expected? Well, here I am," Marinette stood with her hand over her opposite arm, covering a wound. Misterbug let go of her wrist in shock. Ryuko took the chance of Fennick's panic-induced shock to take him down, grabbing the miraculous from him.

"W-What?" Sting said, using Ryuko's same strategy to take down Shelly. Misterbug's spots fell and Adrien quickly turned to help Nino up, seeing Ryuko now gone. Marinette's reveal had put plan B into action. Find the miraculous box at any cost. As Adrien turned back to Marinette, he stared down the barrel of a pistol, Marinette's eyes filling with tears.

"I don't want to have to do this Adrien," Marinette said, tears now flooding down her face. "Just give me the miracle box and we can forget this ever happened,"

"You don't have to, just turn yourself in and we'll find a way to get you a reduced sentence,"

"You really think that will work? The system is corrupt,"

"I will make it work,"

"No, I'm done. Now, give me the ring or I'll take it myself,"

"Mari, please,"

"I'm sorry Adrien..."

Bang

And with the shot of the gun, Marinette fell to the ground, terror in her eyes as she watched her final moments flash by her. Luka stood behind her, a flat face as he lowered his gun.
