Miraculous Identities

Chapter 20

Marinette became Ladybug.

She looked at Cat Noir for his reaction but Cat Noir didn't even notice. He was gone...

Ladybug looked around, she quickly pulled off her necklace and de-evilized the akuma.

"Hmm, fixing my own akuma. A bit odd. Sucks to suck Hawkmoth!"

She then took her yo-yo and swung off in search for her Cat Companion

-

Cat Noir sat on top of Mayor Borgois' Hotel, Ladybug and his meeting spot.

"Cat!" 

He looked up to see Ladybug.

"L-Ladybug? How did you get here? WHERE WERE YOU?! I had to fight an akuma myself!" Cat Noir demanded.

Ladybug tilted her head, suddenly it hit her.

He didn't see Marinette transform into ladybug... He doesn't know!

Ladybug thought.

She looked up at Cat Noir and then hugged him tightly.

She then began to cry.

She cried so hard.

Cat Noir said nothing, he just held her tightly.

He stroked her dark hair.

Dark hair...

He gazed into her puffy bluebell eyes.

Blue eyes...

He held her soft hands.

Soft hands...

Cat Noir smiled down at her.

"I'm sorry Cat Noir. I-I was so scared and confused and-"

"Don't apologize, it was my fault." He murmured.

She rubbed her eyes and smiled.

Suddenly a dark figure jumped from behind Ladybug.

"Oh, Ladybug. I missed you!"

Ladybug spun around to see...

Volpina.

"Did you miss me?" She cackled.

Ladybug flinched.

Cat Noir stepped forward.

"You're about to get into a Cat Fight." He hissed.

"Aww little Kitty's gotta save his Bug." Volpina mocked, taking her whistle.

Volpina blew a minor-key tune and about 50 other Cat Noirs appeared from behind her.

"I'm much more good looking than those mangy cats!" Cat Noir cooed.

Cat Noir then leapt into the mesh of cats.

Ladybug's eyes widened.

Volpina then ran to Ladybug and grabbed her wrists.

She brought her to the Eiffel Tower.

She then dangled Ladybug over the side.

Ladybug felt for her yo-yo but it was gone.

"Looking for something?" Volpina asked, playing with the yo-yo.

Ladybug reached for it but Volpina loosed her grip.

"Give me your miraculous or I'll drop you!" She spat.

"Do it. The miraculous will break. It won't be anything." Ladybug said defiantly.

Volpina growled.

"Fine then." She put Ladybug down and tied her up with the yo-yo.

She whistled a tune and the Cat Noirs reappeared.

"Ladybug! It's me!"

"Ladybug, no, it's me!"

Cat Noirs called.

Ladybug's head spun.

Volpina then saw one and pulled his wrist.

He gasped.

"Let me go! Ladybug, it's me!" The Cat Noir said.

Ladybug looked up at him with horror in her eyes, not knowing.

"IT'S NOT ME! Ladybug-No. M'Lady." A voice sounded behind her.

She looked back to see all the Cat Noirs gone and just one stood.

Ladybug gasped. 

"Cat Noir! Help me!" She gasped.

"No, Ladybug! Please-It's me!" The Cat Noir dangling over the edge cried.

Volpina loosened her grip.

The Cat Noir gazed at her.

Ladybug knew it was a trick.

Volpina then dropped him.

Suddenly the Cat Noir next to her vanished.

Ladybug's eyes widened.

"NO!" She screeched and pulled free from the yo-yo, grabbed it, and jumped off the Eiffel Tower.

She threw her yo-yo to pull her faster down.

Then there was a devastating thud.

Ladybug landed and ran beside him.

She then collapsed on him and screamed bloody murder in mourn.

She then looked up at Volpina who flitted down.

She then took her earrings.

"YOU CAN HAVE THEM!" She wailed and took off one, throwing it at her.

She detransformed to Marinette.

Suddenly the Cat Noir in her arms vanished.

Her eyes widened.

"LADYBUG I-"

Marinette turned to see Cat Noir staring at her.

"M-M-M-Marinette...?"
