The Final Showdown(A Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction)

4/Shadows of Paris

Marinette's POV 

As Chat Noir was finally out of sight, I once again returned to my sulking. I closed my balcony door and threw myself on the bed and moaned into my pillow. Boredom is the worst feeling in the world.

"Marinette, all this moaning is very counterproductive," Tikki explained.

I sat up and stared intently at the red kwami. Her huge blue eyes seemed to stare at me like I was  a mystery she couldn't solve.

"Then, what do you suggest I do?"

Tikki flew over to my worktable where my sewing machine was in mid design of a sweater for the winter months to come. 

"You could finish this," she tried, I groaned in response.

She flew over to my computer monitor, "Mega-Strike 3?" I groaned again.

"Watch a movie? Make popcorn? Write a book?" Each if these suggestions were all a no, and I could see the look of defeat on Tikki's face.

"Or you can go to sleep, Marinette." As late as it was, I wasnt really tired, but my body was begging to rest. Tikki now, satisfied with herself, landed next to me and her eyes began to droop. 

Until a loud scream was heard.

"Marinette........." Tikki said worridely, the scream woke her immediately

"I know Tikki, spots on!"

I raced across the still busy Streeter of Paris, until I spotted the source of the noise. A blonde woman lay on the floor as she was consumed by a dark substance, until she was gone. The source of it all was a boy dressed from head to toe in black clothing, even his hair, but his eyes were green.

"Who are you and what have you done?" I asked.

The boy smiled and pointed a finger at me, confused I raised an eyebrow at him until an invisible forced knocked me to the ground.

"I am Shadow and I haven't done anything. That lady is now apart of my yeam and we will succeed!"

"Succeed in what?" I asked getting up. I dusted off my legs and I searched for what couldve knocked me down, until it dawned on me. I stared intently at the ground and watched a group of shadows form around the boy.

"Succeed in making my father suffer of course, but the man in charge asked me to take something ffom you first, so I can have the power to did so. So if you don't mind." he stretched his hand out to me, but I refused.

"All well, I was hoping this would go quite peacefully." he pointed at me again, bit this time I was prepared, I took off in a run. I dodged empty cars, everyone was probably hiding somewhere,and jumped onto the roof of a building.

 Where is that cat?

I jumped to the roof of another building when my next thought hit me; his akuma. As I thought of where it might be, I flung my yoyo at the Eiffel tower and swung up, shadows can't fly after all. I tried to memorize the features of the boy to see where the akuma might be, until I remembered the dark colored ring. I dropped to the ground as I was surrounded bt multiple shadows, and Shadow stepped forward.

"Im sorry, but I really do need your earrings."

"Lucky Charm!" a paint gun fell into my ears and my eyes immediately darted around until I figured it out. The people are not invisible, there just camoflauging.

"Lets brinb them out of the shadows," I mumbled to myself. Now armed, i shot each space above the shadows and finally, I shot the boy on his nose., causing pain t to splash in his eye.

Shadow began rubbing at his eyes, which was just the distraction i needed. I dashed towards him and slipped his ring of his finger, but since it was too hard to snap in half i placed it on the floor, and jumped on it. The ring only bent, but it was enough for the akuma to flutter out. I qucikly cleansed the akuma and threw my paint gun in the air."Miraculous Ladybug!"The people slowly returned to being visible and thanked me before going home. Last, Shadow himself was being to change back into a regular boy. He wore blue jeans, a white jacket, black shirt, and hadd familiar blonde hair.

"Adrien?" I ask

"Guess I owe an explanation?"

I simply nodded.

"alright, but it may take a while."

"Adrien Agreste," I replied, "I have nothing but time."
