[Mariposa Spanish for Butterfly] Today was the day. The day when Marinette would tell Adrien how she felt about him. But then... It all goes wrong... Witness the fall of Ladybug and the rise of Mariposa, Princess of all Akuma's.
AN: Just to make it clear... the only Akuma's Mariposa has brought back so far are Lady Wifi, Evillustrator, Darkblade, and Guitar Villian.
And she only changes two a day – one in the morning, one at night.

After about five minutes of trying to work out what he should do, Chat Noir decided to do 'The Right Thing' and reached for his staff.
Extending it, he used it to propel himself off of the roof, over the crowd, and onto the stage.
"STOP!" he cried out to his classmates "Ok I know Chloe upset you and changed you, just like Mariposa said and the Lila isn't much better," he began getting slight glares from said girls "But that doesn't mean you can stoop down to their level and do this to them."
"Oh, that's where you're wrong, Kitty Cat..." Mariposa's voice called out only to him, making him turn and look at her "You see little Miss Queen Bee here has been bullying me far far longer than the start of Hawkmoth's Akuma attacks," she began walking over to Chloe and assaulting her with more fruit and pulling on her hair as she spoke "Calling me names... (*Splat*) Making fun of me... (*Splat*) Insulting my family... (*Tug of hair*) and even once, on a field trip to the zoo, tried to push me over the railing and into the Lion's Den!"
Everyone was surprised that the Mayors daughter would even do any of those things.
"Mean while, Super Liar here, although she may not have been around as long as Chloe has, tried to gain popularity and my friends by lying to them, and saying she was friends with Ladybug" Mariposa continued transferring to Lila cursing as she said the heroine's name "And you should know little Kitty, that I don't approve of lies."
Just then a purple mask came over Mariposa's face.
'Mariposa, stop this small talk with Chat Noir and take his ring already...' Hawkmoth said in her head.
Getting a firm look on her face, Mariposa signaled to Darkblade and his knights, and they began to move forward to try and catch him. Her other minions were ready as well.
"Then why are you listening to Hawkmoth? Why are you following him?" Chat Noir asked checking where everyone was "All he's ever done is lie to the victims he makes. He says he'll help them sort out their problems. But really he's only using them to get mine and Ladybugs Miraculous'."
At that, in less than half a second Mariposa was on top of him, pinning him down, a dark look on her face and looking as if she was ready to kill something.
"Don't you go saying that name in front of me Chaton," Mariposa whispered "Ladybug is over!" she said backing off now, only for a couple of knights to keep hold of Chat Noir.
With that, Mariposa turned around and now was addressing everyone there, using her wings to get above the crowd.
"People of Paris," she said clearly, getting Lady Wifi to send this message across the city "Hence forth, if there is any mention, of Ladybug, in or out of my presence, those citizens shall be sentenced to the rest of their lives in my own dungeons." this got the people to look worried "This includes, posters, letters, stories, and news reports. Ladybug is no more. and as proof..." she said reaching to a pocket in her dress. "Here are her Miraculous and I have her Kwami somewhere inside my palace."
This made the citizens even more scared, no one even bothering to ask what even a 'Kwami' is.
With that Mariposa landed back on to the stage and ordered everyone to leave.
"You two, bring Chat Noir inside..." she said a dark look on her face "I still haven't finished talking to him."
"Yes Princess," the knights said together, shoving a shocked Chat Noir back to here and now.
"Marinette! You can't do this!" he screamed trying to get free "These people are your friends! Your family!"
"The name's Mariposa now, Kitty," she said not even looking to him "And I don't need friends, or family. Know why?" she asked grinning "Because once you see the only way to save these people from me is by giving me your puny little ring, Hawkmoth and I will take over the whole world..."
----
With that, Chat Noir was taken to the dungeons and thrown into a cell where they locked the doors.
Once the knights were gone, Chat Noir got up and cried out "CATACLIZEM!" and attacked the bars, except, nothing happened.
As the first ones began to rust and decay, a new set came up to take their place.
Screaming in frustration, Chat started pounding the bars and trying to find another way out.
Seeing nothing, he just sank to the floor and asked Plagg to change him back into Adrien.
"Why so mad at yourself kid?" Plagg asked eating his cheese "We did it, we made it inside her palace. And during her speech, she said that Tikki was in here somewhere too."
"Yippee for you then Plagg," Adrien said sighing and looking away not even bothering to complain when the smell of the camembert hit his nose.
"We'll get out of here kid..." Plagg said finishing up and then curling up to go to sleep in Adrien's hair "You'll see..."
Not believing him, but saying he'll try to keep his hopes up, Adrien just laid down and curled up himself, falling into a dreamless sleep.

Over at the Agreste Mansion, Gabriel had just got home from work, when he saw 'The Gorilla' and Nathalie, looking worried.
"What's wrong?" he asked after he sent the car away.
"Well Sir," Nathaliie started "At around 4:30, this afternoon, Adrien went to go see one of his friends. Their parents said that he left at around 5:45, but he isn't here, and nobody has seen him."
"Why didn't you go and pick him up!?" Gabriel asked the Gorilla "You are meant to be his body guard and his chauffeur."
"I drove him there Sir, and then he said he'd call when he needed to get home" the man said "But I never got that call."
"And nobody else has seen him either," Nathalie said before Gabriel could say anything else.
"Well then try again!" he ordered firmly "If anything has happened to my son, I will be placing you both responsible for it."
Bowing slightly they both set to work on trying to find Adrien.
Once they were gone, Gabriel went into his office and looked at the portrait of his lost wife.
"Why does he have to be so much like you my dear?" he asked sighing, before looking out the window over at the palace this 'Mariposa' had made wondering if he could try and get her to help.
"No," he said thinking it over "Only as a last resort."
With that he turned and went to his son's room to seek out any clue to see why Adrien would have just disappeared like this.
