- Ladybug and Chat Noir finally confront Hawkmoth.
- Classical villain bravado, some insults/puns are thrown about, and the three class.
- At first it’s fine, but then Chat messes up and well, things go downhill.
- Chat is stabbed through the heart (queue Shot Through The Heart)
- Well shit, everyone is kinda freaking.
- Chat’s ring goes off, without the wielder alive, it detransforms him and leaves Adrien Agreste dead on the floor.
- Ladybug kinda locks up cause sudden realization that her longtime partner is Adrien, and Adrien is in love with her.
- Er, was in love with her.
- Hawkmoth on the other hand screams ‘noooooooo’ and detransforms to reveal himself as Gabriel Agreste, rushing to cradle his now dead son.
- Ladybug.exe has stopped working. What the hell is going on here? like, what even?! She simply cannot even her heart is so dead inside.
- Gabriel cries his heart out, spouting some sob story before he decides he can no longer live in a world where he has nothing, and cuts his own throat before Ladybug can register what he’s doing.
- Moment brought back to function, Ladybug rushes to Gabriel, trying desperately to keep him alive, but she can't stop the blood flow fast enough.
- She becomes desperate, calling on a lucky charm to undo this shitfest of a mess.
- Problem is, Lucky charms require a clarity of mind, and Ladybug has none of that right now. She can't calm down enough to figure out how to use it, and turns desperate.
-Nooroo pops out of his miraculous, sensing the strong emotions and he himself still damage, has an idea.
- Consoling the girl, Nooroo explains to Ladybug Gabriel’s motives as to why he became Hawkmoth.
- Turns out Mrs Agreste died during a trip to Tibet, only her miraculous and skull were eventually recovered. Gabriel has been trying ever since to get her back.
-So Nooroo convinces Ladybug to take the Black Cat ring and use it to undo this disaster. He warms her there are repercussions to it, but she doesn’t care.
- Ladybug snatches up the ring, and before plagg can even protest, she calls his transformation.
- In the blink of an eye, Mari is filled with cosmic energy. it’s way beyond the power of just the ladybug miraculous.
- She sees so much, overlooking all of creation in a single instance, and realizes...
- She’s gone too far. Using both miraculous is in and of itself abuse of the two, and the cosmos itself has already decided to punish her.
- And every action she now chooses will cost her more.
- Well, she’s fucked up this much, might as well go all the way.
- She chooses the simplest route to fix it all: Mrs Agreste doesn’t go to Tibet.
- At the last minute, Mrs Agreste decides not to go to Tibet, feeling it better to spend time with Adrien.
- Satisfied, Marinette embraces the will of the cosmos and passes out.
- When she wakes up, she’s in her room, the sun is rising, and it’s a school day.
- Marinette immediately checks her ears, and realizes she has no piercings: The ladybug miraculous is gone.
- But she’s not too freaked out, she knew this was part of it. By abusing the miraculous, she can't be Ladybug anymore. She can never use the ladybug miraculous again.
- But she’s fine with that. It’s the price she paid.
- So Marinette gets to school, and she learns something else. Adrien isn’t in the class.
- According to Alya, he never was. Alya doesn’t even know how Marinette would really know, since she doesn’t keep up with the models in fashion magazines.
- Some online research while listening in class, and Marinette makes the final connection: Mrs Agreste is alive.
- Because she never died, Gabriel never turned away from Adrien. With the love of both his parents, he never pushed for public school like he had before.
- And the last detail of all, there was no Ladybug, or Chat Noir. Adrien and Marinette never got the miraculous, which means...
-Marinette never met Adrien, and he never fell in love with her.
Beyond this point, if the story goes further than that, a new Hawkmoth would rise since Gabriel never went looking for the butterfly, and heroes would be called again. Naturally Master Fu chooses Adrien to be Chat Noir, but he cannot choose Marinette to be Ladybug. Someone else gets the Ladybug miraculous, and Marinette is helpless to watch the love of her old life dance through the rooftops of Paris with someone else.
Well, until things go wrong. Master Fu quickly realizes that the new Ladybug and Chat Noir dont have the perfect synch they need to beat this Hawkmoth, and have already gotten too close to losing out. Someone else needs to step in, but he can't call on the other miraculous.
Mrs Agreste though, can. She still has the Peacock, and has long given up that mantle. When Marinette throws herself in the way to protect Adrien during one such Akuma attack too close to home, Mrs Agreste decides she knows the perfect host for the Peacock.
Again though, i dunno if i want it to go beyond the realization that she’s paid the ultimate price. Maybe i wont have her get a miraculous, and instead just try to get Adrien back the hard way. Who knows.
