Juleka is Ladybug!?|| Akumatized Marinette

Chapter 3

Juleka, 1st person
'Marinette?' Rose inquired, tone matted with uncertainty.

'It's Marionette, sweetie, now be a doll and tell me where Alya is.' She said holding Rose's chin up with one hand and squishing her cheeks in the process, forcing  Rose to lock eyes with her.

As soon as she did, her eyes flashed a reddish pink, a magenta? A pinkish color. It was really unidentifiable. So many hues of pink, red, and magenta going from deep warm colors into light shades of blush. But the color disappeared as soon as it came.

She must be under a spell of some sort.

This is cool! Then Marinette and Adrien will come to the rescue and--- wait. Oh no. Oh sh-

The villain's glare at the person next to me abruptly interrupted my thoughts.

Rose stood beside Marionette, expression blank and one hand pointing a finger towards the brunette that as usual, was recording the action and drama. Most likely for her Ladyblog.

Gosh, Marionette's eyes... if she were staring at me right now, I would be able to feel the burning sensation of her glare piercing through my soul.

Even still, Alya still managed to not show fear. She was probably used to having to face a mad Mari.

'Ugh! What do you want, Mari!? I'm so sick of this. You're acting like a huge snob today.'

The Akumatized victim let out a chuckle that felt hollow, pathetic and empty. Her pupils shrank to slits and her laughter became more and more insane. Tears streamed from her eyes and she was in a fit of crazed laughter for at least 2 minutes.

After, she continued the conversation with a deep and disheartened tone, rimmed with pure hatred.

'HAHAHA SO I'M THE ONE WHO'S ACTING LIKE A SNOB!? Not the brainless brunette that threw a fit at her friend because she was being nice to her own bully!?'

This temporarily diverted some gazes towards Chloe, who was cowering in the corner with Sabrina.

'At least Chloe isn't the person who actually made my heart break today!' Marionette shouted.

Then, a purplish-pink butterfly frame appeared in front of Marionette's eyes. Meaning she was being contacted by Hawk Moth.

I suddenly remembered the Horrificator incident where all students were trapped inside the school. And Ladybug and Chat Noir just happened to be in with us too, well of course as they are students from the same class as us.

But if anyone else noticed... and by anyone else I mean the public, the our classmates, and maybe, probably Hawk Moth... Oh gosh.

While Marionette was having a telepathic conversation with the big bad butterfly, Alya retorted,'Mari, you are just acting insane. Don't worry, when Ladybug comes to purify the Akuma you'll be back to normal, ok?' She said in a sincere voice but then it was clear that that was sarcasm as she gritted her teeth and said,'She'll also help me beat the sense into you in the process, and stop your stupid ambush which will of course fail!'

'Fail, huh!? Well, I'll have you know I never fail! Whether in a saving the world or destroying it!! And one thing's for sure, Ladybug will never, ever, save someone like you!!!'

'You're wrong Mari! Ladybug will always come save me, her biggest and number one fan!!'

'Ah, but Ladybug doesn't like to be used as a pawn to threaten someone!'

'How do you know what she likes!? I bet my life that you've never even met her before!'

Lesson learned people, never bet your life over anything. A nice quote of experience from your great teacher Juleka here.

'Well then, it's your life I'll take!!' She said in a demonically deep voice, that seemed intervened with Marinette's original voice.

With that Marinette recreated one of my favorite scenes from Star Wars: Darth Vader when he chokes a storm trooper to death using the force.

Marinette recreated that scene with Alya only Alya had glowing pink eyes like the color Rose's eyes flashed earlier, and instead of gripping her throat, Alya gripped her own chest while hovering slightly above the ground, where her heart was supposed to be. A glowing pink orb floated out of Alya's chest, and into Marionette's hands, and she closed her palm, and the energy from the sphere seemed to be absorbed by her.

'No one likes a broken puppet Alya,' she said. 'I'm just trying to fix you. Trust me, I'm doing you good.'

Alya crumpled to the ground, and Nino dramatically shouts 'No!!' and rushes forward to hug her figure, only to also be drained of his life force. At least that's what I think Marionette is doing.

Both stood up and separated themselves from each other, standing in a line with Rose.

I stare at them and then I spare a glance towards Adrien, who supposedly couldn't transform because of being locked in the room with everyone else. He was wide eyed, and his mouth hung open.

Then, Chloe suddenly rushed over to him, clutching his arm tightly.

'Oh Adrikins! Hold me! I'm scared!' She said as she dramatically put one of her hands on her head while her other hand still holding Adrien's arm.

Sabrina didn't follow her this time and instead hid behind a cupboard in the corner with Max.

Kim and Alix were standing beside the windows, unsure what to do, Nathanael gripped to his sketchbook tightly, and Ivan and Mylene latched onto each other for dear life.

'Oh look at the love birds. I would squeal and fangirl if I weren't evil.'

Okay, to be completely honest here, I would too, but I'm a goth, so no.

'Oh well. Your turns!'

I quickly ducked under my desk. I rummaged through my bag, desperately searching for something that could possibly shield me from her control.

Through the mess, I couldn't find anything that could shield me from the magic. In fact, I was panicking so much that my mind couldn't even distinguish what was in my bag anymore. Vision blurry and everything. But I was surprised when all became quiet.

I slowly zipped my bag close and peeked out, realizing that everyone seemed to be under the spell. Wait! Chat Noir!!

I looked at Adrien, and his expression seemed blank too. Is he putting up an act or...

Nevertheless, I flung my bag onto my back, preparing to make a dash for it if she realizes I'm not under her spell.

She searched every boy in the room, until she came and stopped at Adrien. Then she smirked.

'Minion, show me your ring.'

Oh no! She remembers the Horrificator incident! She knows Chat Noir is in our class!

Come on Adrien... Please don't be under her spell...

As I prayed, Adrien distinctly held up his hand, then......

Punch!

Yes! Go Chat Noir!

I better use this to my advantage.

I sneaked closer to the doors, and please be open, please be open...

I pushed lightly and the door creaked, but Marionette was too distracted with Adrien to notice.

I crept out, but stayed near the door, to listen in on what was happening. It is dangerous, I know, but I needed to know if Chat Noir would be able to fight Marionette alone.

Hopefully so.

The voices were muffled, but I heard Marionette say something.

'Looks like I found myself a Chat Noir.'
