Miraculous Civil War

Chapter 5: First Argument

It's been a whole day since that event. Marinette has tried to take the temporary heroes' Miraculouses from them (as Ladybug of course). Cat Noir, however, was not making that easy. He'd either be there or it'd be at times where she could end up risking their identities.

"I don't know what to do, Tikki!" said Marinette, "My own partner's turned against me! Even some of my friends!"

"Marinette," Tikki tried, "I tried to tell you that something like this could happen, but-"

"'But?' What do you mean, 'but?' But what?"

Tikki took a deep breath before replying as delicately as one could when it came to situations like this, or something familiar anyway.

"You told me to trust you." the Kwami finally answered.

Marinette stared at Tikki for such a long time that the scarlet Kwami thought that she was stuck in a trance. That was right. Tikki frequently offered better suggestions of just how to protect Cat Noir better than Marinette's "method."

The girl could also remember the previous night. She heard the two Kwamis talking to each other. Marinette had never seen them, Plagg specifically, so furious before...

...

Marinette groaned, waking up to the sound of two small voices talking on her balcony. She got up and walked slowly until she finally saw the Kwami of Creations, trying to reason with the Kwami of Destruction.

"Plagg, please, listen to yourself!" Tikki tried.

"This is why that secret identity thing was so stupid!" shouted Plagg, "Your Chosen's only been creating pain for my Chosen! And this isn't the first time..."

"Don't! Please don't speak of them."

The midnight black Kwami then began to keep talking about the situation. And he was taking much of Cat Noir's side. It was obvious.

"You know what's the worst thing about this," asked Plagg, "I've been making up excuses for Marinette! I tried defending her, supporting her, and that only made things worse!"

He then recalled that when Ladybug tells Cat Noir that just because she didn't always call on him didn't mean she didn't need him, when Cat Crawler was around, Cat Noir didn't believe a word Ladybug said.

That almost surprised Marinette. The surprised part being the fact that she thought it seemed to have worked. The not-so-surprised part of her was saying that it wasn't too unnoticeable. It kind of felt like it was too easy to have actually worked.

...

Marinette then clamped her hands over her mouth, guilt setting in so much. Before she could cry, she heard the TV on. She sees a man requesting the presence of Ladybug.

"Tikki, spots on." she said.

...

She arrived at the Eiffel Tower, where the man was waiting for her. Ladybug had Rena Rouge, Purple Tigress, Pigellam, Polymouse, and Viperion all accompany her. He introduced himself as Williams.

"Nice to meet you face-to-face, Ladybug." said Williams, "I've been looking forward to this."

"Nice to meet you, sir." said Ladybug.

Williams then explained about this plan of his, to create a Miraculous Team that'll not only solve the issues here in Paris, but also all around the world. They'd be brought into action whenever they were needed.
