_____________________________________________________________
-Adrien was very shocked to find out ladybug was akumatized. He felt a massive amount of guilt. He regretted telling Ladybug how he was feeling. Promising to make it right with Ladybug later. Wait, why was Viperion telling adrien this?
-"Thats... Terrible! I hope you can find Chat noir to get help."
-"Adrien, I know you are Chat noir. Im sorry but we dont have time for this."
-Adrien blinks
-"How did you..."
-"I promise I will give you an explanation, But we need to leave. She will be following me."
-"Okay. But we WILL talk about this later. Luka." Adrien said sternly. Showing he knew Luka's identity as viperion. Which Luka was aware of.
-Adrien transforms and they head out.
-They head to a rooftop away from Adrien's house.
-"Weird, I thought Ladybug would be following me?"
-"You're wrong. I knew you would bring him to me."
-The Akumatized Ladybug appears. Holding a box, the Miracle box! Her costume has the reverse color scheme of her Lucky charm outfit form. Her hair ties longer. Her mask giving her red irises. The box shifted to match her color scheme.
She put the box on her back like a backpack. Her costume shifting, to create a black slate on her stomach. And it appeared that the symbol of a miraculous power from the box was utilized, it would appear.
-"My Lady..."
-"I am not your lady!" She roared
-She summoned a weapon to attack them. It was rocket launcher. The tiger symbol appeared on slate. And the rocket blast was super devastating. (She can imbue her weapons with different powers!)
-"I dont deserve to be..." She said soft as she fired the weapon.
-Viperion and Chat noir were barely able to avoid it.
-Malchance summoned more weapons and it was clear that Chat noir and Viperion were outgunned.
-"We will never get to her at this rate." Viperion commented.
-"We need a plan, if only Ladybug could... Wait. That thing your holding."
-"Its the lucky charm she summoned before getting akumatized."
-"Then maybe we can use it to stop her. The Lucky charm always has some creative magic of being the very thing we need to beat the akuma." Chat noir explained
-"Yes, but how are we going to use it?"
-"... Dont you know?"
-Chat noir and Viperion learned that they had no idea how to use the lucky charm.
-"So we have no idea how to use this thing!"
-Chat noir thought for a moment.
-"Ladybug using the lucky charm must have known she wouldnt be the one using it."
-"Okay, and what does that do for us."
-"Well, if she assumed you would be using it to stop her, then you should be able to figure it out."
-Luka thinks about it. It made sense.
-"She summoned it when I was around. That does make sense. I will set a timer."
-"Alright I will stall."
-So sure enough Viperion activated his second chance.
-dozens of attempts turned into hundreds, which turned into thousands. But Luka realized he had no idea how to use it. Ladybug figured out each plan and they never stood a chance. Any plan Viperion came up with, Ladybug had a power from the miracle box counter it. It was a no win scenario. (Viperion almost losing his bracelet twice. Chat noir getting his miraculous stolen a bunch. Blown away by missiles, and so on)
-"Second chance"
-"Alright I will stall."
-"Wait!"
-"Maybe you should try?"
-"Oh no, i cant use the lucky charm. I tried it before and failed miserably."
-"You said it yourself, ladybug summoned the charm for someone else to use it. I tried 1000s of times. I dont think its me. It has to be you."
-Chat noir took a deep breath. Looking at the charm.
-He peaked his head to see Malchance had summoned a bunch of tanks.
-"Okay... I think I might have an idea."
-Chat noir whispered Luka his plan and the two dodged artillery fire as Malchance moved forward.
-"Ladybug... i know you are in there."
-Malchance looks at Chat noir.
-"Just give up your miraculous Chaton. Ive already hurt you enough..."
-Malchance's source of akumatization was overwhelming guilt. So she would have a soft spot for Chat noir.
Chat noir approached her holding the lucky charm. It was a small radio.
-He presses play. And it starts playing slow dance music.
-"Ill give you my miraculous, if You dance with me before you take my miraculous."
-Viperion had to admit, he would have never thought of that. But deep down, Chat noir understood Ladybug better than anyone, and he didnt even know who was the face underneath.
-Malchance felt the guilt, but shadowmoth thought it was a genius move to do that. Because she can take his ring when up close and he lets his guard down.
-So sure enough, Chat noir is dancing with the akumatized Ladybug. He tells her he sorry about getting her akumatized. That he shouldnt have made her think it was her fault. But akuma! Ladybug told him he was wrong. He was wrong about earlier... the whole situation was very distracting, allowing Viperion to locate the akumatized item. (The ear piece in her ear) (Which he tells Chat noir in a reset.)
-Chat noir cups her cheek, and takes the ear piece out of her ear and breaks it with cataclysm. Thus ending akumatized Ladybug
-Ladybug returns to normal and sees the akuma (very confused on what is happening. But catches and purifies the mega akuma. Then she returns things back to normal.
-Shadowmoth didnt get to find out who Ladybug was thanks to the glamour and he was too dumb to have her take off her miraculous right away. But he had a feeling that he would find it soon enough. It was only a matter of time.
-Ladybug has herself an anti-akuma charm now. Now apologizing to Chat noir. Saying that she had been a terrible partner. This left the cat very confused. Why was she apologizing.
-Ladybug told him about the thing with su han. Including her plan to find out about his identity...
-Viperion dropped in just as Chat noir was holding Ladybug.
-Chat noir turns to Viperion. "So thats how you knew."
-Chat noir lets go of Ladybug as he processes all that happened.
-Ladybug says she needs to go refuel her kwami. But swears she will be back. Leaving Chat noir and Viperion.
-"So... youre the person she told her identity to?" Chat noir spoke.
"No she didnt tell me that."
"But its okay to know my identity." Chat noir glared at him.
"Look based on what she said I..."
-They both detransformed.
-Adrien and Luka feed their kwami as the discussion continues.
-"You know who she is." Adrien concluded. Based on how he defended her. He could tell, Luka knew the person well. And Adrien was looking at things very objectively right now.
-Luka didnt answer. He knew it would be a lie to say.
-"Does she know you know?"
-"No... She doesnt."
-Adrien glared at him. But then took a deep breath.
-"You are very loyal. Maybe you should be her chat noir."
