Miraculous Robin Hood

Good is the New Bad

"So tell me, m'lady, why did you want us to meet?  I know it wasn't just to confirm my loyalty," said Chat with a grin.

Ladybug giggled at Chat's cleverness.  "You're quite smart, Chat Noir and for that, I shall tell you the true reason behind our meeting."

"I'm all ears."

"The reason I called you here was to ask for your help.  I want to break into Prince John's castle."

"That's crazy!  Why would you want to break into the house of the same guy who made us fugitives?  All that's gonna do is prove that we're criminals," Chat argued.

"But we're not criminals if we're returning what was stolen," Ladybug smirked.

Chat blinked his eyes in confusion.  He didn't quite understand why Ladybug would want to break into Prince John's castle.  "Forgive me, m'lady, but I'm clueless."

Ladybug giggled understanding Chat's confusion.   "You see, kitty, Prince John has stolen something from the people of Paris."

"They're dignity?"

"No...Well, yes, but also their money.  He brutally taxes his people and takes all that they have.  So, we have to get it back."

"I see and since we're already wanted criminals, it makes no difference."

"You catch on quick."

"Well, I am a cat."

Ladybug smiled and then explained the plan to Chat Noir.  They had the element of surprise on their side.  The last thing Prince John, let alone Hawkmoth, would expect was for Ladybug and Chat noir to break into the castle.

Ladybug and Chat Noir executed their plan.  As they approached the castle, they were wary of the guards that walked around.  Thanks to Chat Noir's night vision and knowledge of castle guards, the two were able to make it to the balcony that led to Prince John's bedroom.  With a stretched out hand, Chat Noir invited Ladybug on his back.  She asked if he would be able to handle climbing the wall with her on his back.  

Chat Noir chuckled.  "You underestimate me, m'lady."

His eyes glowed green in the moon's dim light and his daggers shined in-between his fingers.  Chat Noir began to climb the stone wall with Ladybug on his back.  Chat was very quiet as he climbed the wall.  Ladybug only watched in amazement and also foolishness for underestimating her partner.

Once they made it to the balcony, the two quietly walked inside.  The snores of the greedy prince reminded Chat Noir of his kwami.  Except one was obsessed with gold while the other was obsessed with cheese.

"Come on," Ladybug whispered.

Chat Noir nodded following behind her.  They walked over to the bags of gold prince John had next to his bed.  Chat Noir and Ladybug grabbed as many bags as they could and brought them to the balcony.  Ladybug drew her bow and launched her arrow at a tree in Sherwood forest.  When the arrow hit, Ladybug tied the other end to the top of the balcony entrance.  She then asked Chat Noir to go down the rope and catch the bags of gold.   He told Ladybug of his worries.  He feared that Prince John would awake and capture her...or worse, kill her.

Ladybug gave a warm smile and nodded, understanding her partner's concern.   "Don't worry, kitty, I'll be alright," she whispered.

Chat Noir averted his eyes and meekly nodded.  He quickly slid down the rope.  Like a cat, he landed on his feet quietly.  He used his dagger to reflect the moon's light into a signal for Ladybug to start sending down the bags of gold.  Upon seeing the signal, she immediately tied the bags of gold to the rope and slid them down to Chat Noir.

One by one the bags of gold made their way to the forest.  Ladybug was careful as she took the last few bags.  She only took the ones that Prince John didn't cuddle with.  When all the bags were with Chat Noir, Ladybug used her bow and slid down the rope.  Unfortunately, as she slid down the rope, Sheriff Bourgeois, Chloe's dad, walked by.

Ladybug pulled her body closer to the rope in hopes of not being seen.  Luckily, she made it safely across and into the forest.  However, when she tugged back the rope, the sheriff heard rustling.  He walked to toward the sound, which was where Ladybug and Chat Noir were hiding, along with the bags of gold.  Chat Noir told Ladybug to take the bags deeper into the forest.  She asked him what his plan was.  He told her that he would distract the sheriff, while she escaped.  

Chat Noir begged her to trust him, but she just smiled and said, "I do.  I trust you completely."

Ladybug took the bags of gold and began to carry them deeper into the forest.  Chat Noir had to think of something fast or his beloved partner would be caught.  He looked around, then took out his dagger.  He hoped it was sharper than it looked.  With a single swing, Chat Noir cut down a tree that landed in the sheriff's path.  Chat Noir's plan may have succeeded, but it caused the sheriff to be more suspicious.  He looked in the direction the tree fell.

Chat Noir backed away and hid behind some trees.  They say it was bad luck for a black cat to cross your path.  As the sheriff's eyes turned the corner, they met a pair of green eyes.  "Boo."

The sheriff screamed as he ran away.  Chat Noir chuckled watching the sheriff run away.  With a grin upon his face, he ran to meet with his lady.

"Chat!" she exclaimed as he appeared.

"M'lady, are you--" he was cut off by a surprise hug from Ladybug.

"I was so worried.  You're okay, right?  Not hurt?"

Chat smiled and hugged her back.  "Don't worry, m'lady.  I'm alright."

Ladybug broke the hug and told Chat it was time to do some good in a bad way.  Chat smirked, "Lead the way."

Ladybug and Chat Noir took bags of gold to Paris and placed a bag in each of the villager's houses.  Cats are said to be as quiet as a mouse, especially black cats.  Ladybugs are said to fly in and be as quiet as the night air.  Their luck was unmatched.

After they were done, Ladybug and Chat Noir returned to the forest.  They made arrangements to meet at the hideout tomorrow night.   

"Goodnight, Chat Noir."

"Goodnight, Ladybug."

"Pound it!"
