One Name -- Christmas Special

I'll Just Do It Solo

I needed to get away from Adrien, or as he called himself, Simon. I liked him but this was taking advantage of him. It was clear that Chat Noir was not coming right now. He should have come by now if he was going to come. It meant that I was on my own. Without my partner, that flirtatious black cat. Without my friends, ready to support me at any time. Without my loving kwami, who helped me through so many problems. Without my powers, that had ensured me victory in every fight. I was not the spotted heroine this time. I was not Ladybug, the holder of the ladybug miraculous, the person holding the power of creation in her very hands. I was not Ladybug, that smart, badass, ass kicking, confident girl. I was just Marinette Dupain Cheng. Just a normal civilian. I was clumsy, shy, weak Marinette. Yet, I was a superhero at her heart, even without her suit and her superpowers. I was nicknamed the everyday Ladybug for a reason. Even though I was clumsy I could fight when it was asked of me to. Even though I was shy I could stand up and be the voice of people against wrong actions. I might be weak and insecure but I was awfully powerful in my own way and could kick asses pretty well. I was chosen to be Ladybug for a reason. Let's show Hawkmoth how well Marinette Dupain Cheng can kick asses. I am alone but I'll just do it solo.

"Ummm," Marinette said. The sudden voice cause Simon, he is NOT Adrien, to look at her. "I really need to visit the toilet. Do you mind?" Simon understood her request and pointed her to the bathroom. It was good he wasn't dense now. Adrien would have stared at her like a doofus and asked her to ask the question more clearly. Well moving on, the petite bluenette marched into the bathroom. She closed the door behind her and locked it, for obvious reasons. Then a sight greeted her eyes, the bathroom was awfully huge just like his room. Gabriel really knew how to spoil his kid. She actually needed to pee so after completing her business she sat on the toilet with the lid closed of course for all the Adriens out there. "Hello?" an uncertain voice sounded. It was familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. I looked up to see a hovering black cat. Now, 13 year old Marinette would have freaked out but 14 year old Marinette had dealt with a lot of crazy shit in her life. Focusing more on the creature. The kwami was completely black, it's body like Tikki's. It's eyes however we're bright green and reminded her of Chat Noir. The kwami had whiskers emerging from its cheeks and in Marinette's opinion it was the cutest thing ever, some things might measure up to his scale like Tikki but no one could be cuter.

"Awwwww," was all that came out of her mouth. "You are so cute. Well getting to the task on hand, you seem to be Chat Noir's kwami." The kwami nodded in her direction before speaking, "Finally someone who understands me. Gosh! The kid was so dense. I mean he thought I was a genie. Who does that? I am a kwami. Being a genie is tiring, granting wishes to people. I would much rather be me, thank you very much. Now introducing myself, I am Plagg, as you guessed, Chat Noir's kwami. I hold the power of destruction. The last time we met was under not so pleasant circumstances. I still say I am not dangerous. You people are foolish to think that." The kwami scoffed while crossing his tiny little hands. I couldn't see how a creature capable of destroying the human race and to the fact, the entire universe, was not dangerous but right now I had the world to save. Also, he called Chat Noir a kid. The thought was pretty funny. I would definitely tease him about it later. Getting back on track, "Why are you here Plagg? Aren't you supposed to be with Chat Noir?"
The kwami spoke something that froze Marinette in her place, "I am afraid this fight will be fought by you alone."

I looked over at the girl. I could see why she was chosen to be Ladybug. She was a perfect choice, just the person for this job. She would grow even more powerful over the years. She also happened to have utmost faith in her partner, the leather clad superhero. He heard the question come out of her mouth, "Why are you here Plagg? Aren't you supposed to be with Chat Noir?" Now I needed to be the quick thinker. I couldn't tell her that it was because Adrien was akumatised. I couldn't say his whole name and she was not supposed to know his identity. I cursed (can you figure out on whom? He is supposed to be as old as time). Sugarcube was the quick thinker not me. I just happened to remember the first time we met. Thank Fu. I will just do what I did the last time. "I am afraid this fight will be fought by you alone." I saw her freeze. She might have decided she had to do it alone but listening to someone confirm it to you...... not easy. Yet, she was Ladybug for a reason. She had to push through. I know she could do it. She opened her mouth to say, "Did he lose his miraculous again? I swear that if he did that then I am going to strangle him when I meet him." I gulped. The poor boy's life was in danger, it was clear when I saw the look on her face. But his identity needed to be protected at all costs. A few injuries wouldn't hurt so much. Well, maybe they would. Thankfully he was able to come up with a lie.

"I am afraid that he is sick. He will be unable to assist you today. I, however, am completely well and functional and will be happy to assist you Princess. You must get me some cheese though," I said. I had no idea why I called her princess. She just seemed to remind me of one and a little cheese never hurt anyone, other than Atlantis. I swear that day I had had too much cheese. But getting back to the point, I did a little mock bow to add in some extra effect. I had taken a liking for this girl. The kid would be so jealous. This thought brought up more thoughts in my mind. Was the kid okay? I hope he was fine. I knew a part of him would be fighting the akuma. That part needed to become more dominant. He was too powerful to defeat just like that. How I wished nothing happens to him. Ummm... not like I care or anything but Paris needed protection, didn't it? I will save the kid, at all costs. The bluenette voice knocked him out of his thoughts. Her face had softened and was now filled with concern. "Is he okay? Take care of him, please. And kind man, I would be obliged to have your help. Or would it be kind kwami. I would also be happy to reward you with something special. I hope you would like it." Saying that she put her hand in her pocket to remove a box filled with different snacks. There were cookies for Tikki, sugar cane for Kalki, carrots for Fluff, some chocolates for Trixx, Mullo and Shuppu (excuse my spelling), bread and different goodies for the other kwamis. The girl was a walking eatery for kwamis and humans. Then Plagg saw the beautiful thing he was looking for.

"This is the MOST delicious thing EVER!" the kwami said while eating some cheese bread. It was a normal bread that was filled with cheese. Tikki had mentioned that Plagg loved cheese so while Marinette carried food for all the kwamis, she might as well carry some for Plagg. As Marinette said, you could never be too cautious. She gave him 3 cheese breads and a little of everything for the devilish cat who just happened to be the little kwami's owner. That chat better get well soon or she was going to make sure he would never dare get sick again. Does he not know how worried she was? Perhaps not but that meant that she had to tell him how to make sure he doesn't get sick when she sees him next. Right now she had to focus on defeating Adr- no Simon. His weaknesses...... slowly but surely a plan began to form in the bluenette's mind. He seemed to have a liking for Marinette, and hadn't done any damage to the city yet. She could use that as an advantage. Plagg could help her in finding the akuma, it could be in many places. He hadn't yet displayed his powers, nor did Marinette know why he was akumatised; therefore she had no idea where the akuma could be. Plagg could also destroy the object, if he controls it like he did when Mr. Pigeon was akumatised the 72nd time. She just needed to figure out where the akuma was. Here comes all the sleepless nights she spent. She remembered her notes on How to find out where the akuma is 101
Q1) Any significant changes?
His eyes. The first thing that came to her mind. His eyes were now blue.
Q2) Any object similar to it?
The scarf he was wearing. It was also blue in colour. The exact same blue.
Q3) Any other suspicious thing?
No
Last step : Recheck
Done. The akuma is in the scarf.
Now I just needed to get that butterfly. A plan formulated in her mind. Something that was bound to succeed.
