Princess Justice

Crumbling Resolve

"Princess Justice! I am Hawkmoth."

"No, I can't." Marinette said shakingly, gripping hear head with both hands.

"It was unjust, what that awful girl did to you. I simply want to help you right the wrong that was done to you. Your friends have all turned their backs on you and have now replaced you with that liar." Said the ominous voice.

"No! Even if that's true they're still my friends, I don't want to hurt them." Retorted Marinette with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry your power will not harm anyone. It will simply stun them in place until they reveal all their lies. After that they will follow your every command, or you could simply choose to release them from your hold if you choose to." Hawkmoth added trying to persuade the young hearted girl.

"I-I can..?" Marinette asked trying to confirm what she had just heard.

"Of course! I will give you that choice. It's not fair seeing all your dear friends being manipulated by this girls lies is it? Who's to say she won't do the same to them too."

Upon hearing that last statement. She remembered all the happy memories she had with her classmates, and all the laughs they shared. The thought of them being hurt, was the last thing she needed to hear before her will to fight the akuma crumbled.  "I won't let her hurt anyone else!" She said with anger in hear voice.

"What a good friend you are. All I ask in return is-..."

"Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous, that won't be a problem. I will not fail you." It was the last thing she said before she was consumed by the purple fog.

"Just what I expect from a person who believes in justice." Happily exclaimed Hawkmoth, upon hearing that reply.

~Back at School~

"Maybe if we trick her into admitting the truth when she thinks no one is listening?" Adrien made the suggestion to Luka still trying to come up with a plan to uncover Lila's lies.
"Do you think it'll work? What if she catc-...." A loud explosion within the courtyard cut Luka off before he could finish his sentence.

The two boys looked toward the middle of the courtyard where they saw light red fog, surrounding a girl in a purple cheongsam with flower patterns on her thin veil like cape. She was carrying a sword on her right had, she had a scale like ornament on her hair, and a golden mask that covered her eyes. Along side her where two others; a women with a golden blindfold around her eyes in darker purple and red colored clothes with a scale symbol on her back to her left was man big in build, wearing the same colored clothing, the same symbol on his back and a gold blindfold around his eyes. 'It couldn't be her!' What they had both feared was right before them, the sweet girl who always stepped up to help her fellow friends in need, was now an akumatized villain.

"Marinette...?" They both mumbled her name.

"An in injustice act was committed here yesterday, I am simply here to right the wrong. Step forward Lila Rossi and repent on your actions!" Princess Justice had declared her commanding booming voice rang, as she pointed her sword towards the brunette surrounded by her classmates.

"Marinette?! Is that you?" Alya step slightly forward, phone in her hand recording the encounter with the knew masked villain, asking if that was the girl she once called her best friend.

"That weakling Marinette is gone, I am Princess Justice! And I am here to reveal the truths from all who's lies harm others."

"You don't stand a chance against me, and your little get up Dupain-Cheng. In case you've forgotten I'm Queen Bee!"  Said Chloe walking up confidently in front of Princess Justice. Which she took the opportunity to show her power. She light pointed the tip of her sword to Chloe's chest and said "Reveal the truths you've hidden!"

Soon after Chloe stood straight statue like, and began revealing all her truths they were small but nonetheless slightly embarrassing. Saying how she still needed her bear to help her fall asleep at night. How she only acted mean because she felt lonely, and also admitting that she didnt dislike Marinette. But quite the opposite she envied her because she WAS liked by many.  Once she finished she went back to normal. "Wa-what did you to me?!" She exclaimed. Feeling the embarrassment of saying such things. Soon Princess Justice took the opportunity to turn her into one of her jury, by placing the masked that she had on her face, onto Chloe. It turned into a golden blindfold, and changed her clothes to match her own mother and father's same colored clothing. The masked on Marinette's face was quickly replaced my another, that was instantly created by a golden dust.

"Chloe! No." Sabrina yelled in surprised as she reached for her best friend's hand. But she soon had the same golden mask on her face too. Turning into the same golden blindfold and turning her clothes the same color as the others.

"Block the exists, and bring Lila Rossi forward." she told her Jury  they all nodded, trying to block the path for those that were running. Among the chaos, one by one her friends, and teachers were soon joining her side. Until the only Adrien, Luka, Alya, Nino, Juleka, Rose and and Lila, along with 6 other students were left. They were all backed into the wall close to the Locker rooms.

Luka had stepped forward to try and reason with Marinette, but was blocked by the people in golden blindfolds. "Marinette this isn't you. Hawkmoth is just trying to use you. Please stop this."

"Stand aside I'm not like her, I'm not going to hurt anybody. All I want is justice."

While Luka was distracting Princess Justice, Adrien used this as the perfect opportunity to run into the nearby locker rooms without being noticed, and transform into Chat Noir. Once inside he heard someone calling for him. It was Master Fu, "Chat Noir, I need to tell you something important."

Master Fu had explained that Ladybug wouldn't be able to help in this battle, because she was away in a separate mission.

"So how am I supposed to capture the akuma without Ladybug?!" Chat asked surprised by the sudden news.

"Calm yourself Chat Noir, you will not face this villain alone, there will be an ally to help you with this mission. And you will be the one to purify the akuma."

"Me? But I thought only ladybug was the only one who could purify the akumas." Adrien said as if doubting what he had just heard.

"Normally yes. But in some rare occasions the other kwamiis can also be powered-up to help purify them. By using the pink power-up. We try to avoid using this one, because it can sometimes take a heavy toll on both the kwamii and the owner, so you will have to be quick when using it."

"I understand, I will do my best."

"I recommend you use the power-up once you've analyzed your opponent well enough. Find out where the akuma is hiding first.

"You're right. Thanks Master Fu."
Adrien said as he exited through the window, as not to come out the same he came from.

"All we need now is inform Viperion of our plan. And hope everything goes well." Master Fu said as he looked towards the door that had Luka on the otherside.
