The Fate Of Making Lila Become No.1 Part 2/2
Marinette: What are you talking about?
You're just breathing nonsense. You have to be a kid.
*In fear or hesitation*
Lila: That may be true but if that's not,
then that sucks for many of you.
Marinette: How could you say this like this is a joke?!
*As she's concerned and frustated*
Lila: I remember Hawk Moth said he'd teach some kids what a man that has nothing left to lose can really do.
Like you, I'm immune to being hurt. I learned to let go.
Why are you offended? Don’t you feel venerated by me exposing myself? You're getting what you wanted after all, all along.
Marinette: (She's terrifying me. Maybe I did make a huge mistake.
How would she know of what he said to uh m- um Ladybug and Cat Noir?)
Lila: Reconsideration from the inconsiderate? Too bad it's too late. *As she turns her head*
Marinette: What are you looking at? And she turns her head
Marinette immediately jets towards them
ADRIEN! ALYA! As she reaches the two in bad shape
WHAT HAPPENED?!
Alya: I I I... I... ...don't know. It's like... loses consciousness
Adrien: I feel like my body... No...
Marinette is horrified seeing part of his arm became ash grain
Marinette: Did Cat Noir?!
Adrien: No, he wasn't even present.
I don't know... What h- I wish I... protect y- loses consiousness
Marinette: ADRIEN! No this can't be happening! sees Alya's shoes and her left shin fragment with ashes (
Lila: Thanks for The Number One Headband.
Marinette: What?! How?! What is that?
And why is this other one on the floor?!
Lila: Ah, that's The Number Two Headband by your feet?
Even if you didn't know what language that said,
I think common sense would tell you the difference between 1 & 2.
Marinette: I had The Number One Headband?
Lila: Technically Monarch did but it seems it was given away to you. I wonder what you did that would make you earn it?
I would expect Ladybug to have it but I guess there’s something really unique about you.
I’ve always been branded with Number Two for reasons based upon you or outsiders.
Unfortunately, it seems I've been branded as Number One now.
And this is the fate you are seeing of your friends.
All thanks to you and your outsiders wanting stuff against me that never needed to exist.
You and their sharing obsessive ways against me.
Stupid challenges and you guys gained stupid prizes.
Marinette: Did you make all of this happen? Did you ruin everything?
Lila: The answer is in the mirror.
Marinette: I don't have time for your stupid riddles.
Lila: The answer is yes and no.
Marinette: Stop playing around! I am so sick of you! Answer me, NOW!
Lila shakes her head
Lila: Because I existed, this happened.
But I did not cause this.
It was the outsiders and how they value you,
or see somethings that triggered them.
That is why your friends faced this fate.
Marinette confused and sad
Marinette: But why? Why would they do this?
Lila: I told you why earlier. Think about it.
And there's plenty more if you didn't catch on.
Marinette seeing more of friends distances away around her in similar states
Marinette: No, this isn't real. (This has to be a nightmare.)
Sulking and then sees Harmonie crying on bed of ashes
Marinette begins to cry
Lila moves her head down and starts laughing at the revelations Marinette is witnessing
Marinette: Devil Incarnate! as she opens her teary eyes in fury at Lila's laughter
She dashes to grab her shoulder, pinching or squeezing it
Marinette: HOW CAN YOU BE THIS AWFUL! LAUGHING AT THIS SUFFERING! YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELF!
Lila: You're assumptions make me laugh stronger and further.
You'll never change. FFFFAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA...
Marinette fists clench as she's seeing Lila head rotates upwards while still laughing at her sorrow
Marinette: What part of not funny do you not understand?!
Lila smiles knowing the crying Marinette is going to hit her.
Punches her face and Lila bounces a few times
After several seconds she starts laughing and gets up
Lila: You lost and are so lost. But it's okay because the outsiders see everything you do as a favor to both worlds. So this moment you commit something like this or above, it’s a peak victory.
She starts giving her applause
continuously remains clapping
Marinette: Stop this, you are annoying me. As she’s wiping her tears
Lila: Lets give it up to the annoyer that now chooses to be annoyed. Keep giving the outsiders what they want!
Marinette: I said Stop Clapping!
Lila: Look out, an arrow coming your way.
Marinette: Like I'd bel- dodges while freaked out
Marinette: (What was that?!)
You knew this? Why would you...?
Lila: That's not important. I guess you have not noticed you've been hit or darted.
Marinette: What, what do you mean?
Lila: Look around yourself.
Marinette is disturbed at seeing them darts
Shouldn’t I feel this? (Why is this not hurting me?)
Lila: Same reason you or mostly they,
decide to notice me and not anything else around,
or in your face, or that has been well established.
Isn't it funny what you did against me and Chloe with Sabrina's help, but you wanna complain about Chloe sending your former teacher to the office, yet you both caused Juleka to suffer greatly?
Lila: I thought you considered stealing Adrien's phone a crime that would jail you for life.
But hey, forging twice is cool as long as you blame shift. Privacy invasion and humiliation is a merciful act of friendship and harmony.
Marinette: How do you know of something that specific in my past. (OH NO! SHE MUST KNOW OF MY DIARY!) Squirming Marinette
Nah, you never could unless things go as you want.
Observe what happened due to your failure to chill, control freak.
Both observing Parisians with stuff piercing around their bodies
Marinette runs towards one and asks what happened
One said these arrows and shape objects spawned out of nowhere and they weren't able to dodge and they aren't able to remove it
Lila: Now are you understanding what's going on?
Marinette runs towards The Ice Cream Man
Andre: Nooooo. My precious desserts for couples has become all ash.
All of my supplies are in ashes. I just wanted to give products of love to the people.
Marinette: I'm sorry this is happening to you. Can I-
Lila: LOL, why are you sorry?
This person doesn't even care of verifying if his food is safe.
Marinette: I and no one here suffered from his products made with love and kindness.
Lila: Oh lookie here at what happened to who called him out.
She sees on video billboard some clothes floating on a lake of ashes
Dupain Cheng is horrified
Lila: I guess the world that was happy with her departure never expected this. Sucks this is the fate the poor thing that used to be a fan of The Bug. I wonder why this happened or why the outsiders would do this.
Certain outsiders are celebrating this.
Though I guess since the clothes didn't perish at all, it must mean there are still enough outsiders there for her in this time of unfortunate circumstances bestowed against her.
Actually I already know the answer.
Marinette: I didn't mean for this is happen.
Lila: Seems you are finally understanding what the outsiders are.
*walking*
Marinette: Where are you going?
Lila: Hey Theo. Could you take me out for lunch? *winks twice while smiling*
Theo: Umm... Okay. He walks away
Marinette: Did you just ask him to go on a date?
Lila: I asked if he can take me to somewhere that has good food.
Hmmmmmmm
And so she begins laughing with her mouth closed
Marinette: Oh no...
Lila: Do you know how old he is?
Marinette: Uh umm? What's with this age question? Why do you keep talking about ages?
Where are you going with this?!
Lila: I thought he was like some janitor of the school or some teacher assistant.
Apparently he's like around 16 to 18.
He might be an adult or not.
He's like how the outsiders now want for me for real to be but got angry he apparently isn't not.
However, like I said, he's around of from earlier for real.
It’s understandable why but not why they would want the very thing they hated of him to be known;
to now wish to be instilled in reverse upon me.
It’s almost like they want to ignore that I was clearly the friend Adrien's age.
Lila: But since they want to seek the opposite now, that means me and Theo could be a cute couple instead of that other girl, below your grade, that he held hands with once with in a digital realm.
Marinette: Uugck YUCK You're... I- I CANNOT! YOU! GRITTING HER TEETH
Lila: What's wrong with that? Some outsiders pair me up with Mr. Agreste and will gain stronger excuses for me to be with everyone than before. I heard that Ladybug say she was older than a high schooler to for some reason. Don’t be upset at what you hear. Be upset at Old World society. I wonder if the city of love normalizes 15 year olds with 20 to 26 at least year olds in romantic galore too.
Marinette: WHAT?!
WHO WHY!? Who are these outsiders you speak of?!
Lila: People like you on a much higher plain of your toxic ways.
Marinette: You're body. It's-
Lila: Rotting? Of course it is.
It’s not far away because they always want me to rot.
It's their will or sole purpose.
However, as you see, for some reason…
I'm not falling apart like your friends. I am still intact.
I wonder why you are though?
In fact, it's like endless ashes for me.
Marinette: But why wasn't Theo attacked like you, me, and the others?
Lila: Outsiders have strange priorities of proxying individuals and ignoring others. Even if they are and do worse. I'm their main charm to chastise.
He's ignored. People decide when to brush things off and when to foam like you.
Marinette: You don't even sound like Lila. Are you possessed or controlled?
Lila: Ah... This what happens when an ultimate gains outsider insight about or from outsiders.
Marinette: So you're speaking like an outsider?
Lila: Likewise.
I'd say, you seem less unstable than usual but there's always something that cracks you it seems.
Earlier you were disgusted. Earlier you were aggressive and sad. How you instantly change or glitch.
Momentary Marinette.
Marinette: What do you want? Why are you making me aware of this?
What is your goal? Your purpose? Motive?
Lila: Giving you all what you want and showing you all the fallen sanctuaries of your stupidities.
Showing you all the failure of only seeing things of reform, redeem, lock away, or death.
Lila: This is just The Bitterness Of Truth that needs to be known.
Other outsiders wish your friends didn’t face penalties that many outsiders unfortunately pinned on them due to me.
Still, they at times help the markers flourish due to them not looking the consequences of how many think against me. Shame there was an end of a woman outsider’s chapter wasn’t enough.
This may be due to how they also accidentally agreed upon me in questions to me being the scapegoat or as so many outsiders kin of original sin.
Marinette: What do you mean end their chapter?
You mean... as she covers her mouth
Lila: That...is the power of my existence. It causes divine instability amongst the outsiders. Making them lose their minds over me beyond you. They shall pick purposely when see things black and white. Many take eyes for an eye and will or wish of making anything happen, while yearning for destruction to anyone that doesn't fit your mantra or their mantra.
But why would you care? They're doing you a favor. Making sure and wanting any way that discredits me completely. Even though I know the real truth and you and Ladybug must know the real truth.
Lila: No matter what is done towards me. It takes next to nothing for me to easily be turned against. Rebounding hurts them.
All else, this is harder. Still, I find it amusing how Ladybug's greatest deception is nothing but a speck of dust compared to me.
Or that it took that long for the gullible outsiders to reconsider that she screwed up royally and had a history of epic screwing of allies or friends.
Oh the denial and masking. Masking? I guess outsiders are quite heroic like Ladybug or you. Only around a few or speck amounts that truly see me in a distinctive way or see it's not like most going out their ironic deceiving ways to portray things as.
MARINETTE: KAGAMI!
Zooms towards her
She sees Kagami tears running of ashes
Kagami: Why, Marinette. Why did you do that to Lila?
Marinette: I- She. She was a bad person. I did what I had to do.
Kagami: You're lying.
Marinette shattered from her words
Marinette: I- I was... protecting my friends. And you.
Kagami: No you weren't. Do you not remember, she was my friend?
I thought... You said you would listen to your friends.
I thought you said my words reminded me of what Alya told me.
I thought that you would…change.
Kagami: Instead, you only thought of yourself. And now she's gone...because of you. Adrien made me put my trust in you.
That you were everything. Everything special and a true friend.
My best friend.
I...was...
Irrational.
*That word gave Dupain Cheng a chill*
Kagami: What about those that meant something to her?
because you refused to accept or ignore her.
I ignored Chloe. I don’t engage with her.
What's your excuse with Lila?
I... Can't… Is Ladybug why Chloe changed...?
Was this because of me?
Because I liked Adrien...?
Marinette: No no. It’s not what you- I um It wasn’t...
Kagami: Lila was right...
I should have never let you… And Adrien...break me apart.
Marinette: KAGAMI!
KAGAMI!
GET UP!
PLEASE!
She's not breathing just endless watering ashes from her shut eyes
Lila: Poor girl. Sad thing about her is that outsiders found new ways to make it out like she's your betrayer. And that's basically one of the reasons why she...
They did the same to call her Adrien’s betrayer. Though that’s more understandable, but it seems they forgot the both of you made her feel that you are the jewel to everything. Kind of like Ladybug is the only jewel Parisians feel like seeing.
Oh how Cat Noir is still devalued.
Well...it do be like that. Another instance of what happens when you don't do exactly as the outsiders want or expect. Even if they see that you and Adrien made her feel like this for you. Is this why Adrien truly accepts you now?
Lila: Still sobbing? Feeling bad at last for many you could have stopped?
Oh well. I'll just keep rambling.
Truth is...
They see or saw her as the second coming of their divine play they played upon themselves with you as their ringleader.
All because she was the second in your way like me. Heh even when she supports your dreams for some reason and satisfies the many outsiders interests. She does something that they think is so bad, they'll treat her like before.
I'm now convinced that if any of your friends deflect from you upon their own will,
the outsiders would call them the devils like you say I am.
Marinette: Please, Lila! I don't want to see any more of this.
I don't want this experience! This shouldn't be happening.
Why IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!
MAKE IT STOP MAKE THIS STOP! Despairing and weeping
Lila: Now you want to quit?
You didn't quit earlier for me over something so ignorable.
I guess you do pick what to stomach.
Too bad. Accept this agony.
This is what desperation and their foolishness to want you to be validated
and me invalidated by any means really means.
Lila: They can't even see they do not have to be like this but they won't ever and it shall never end.
It's not your fault that these outsiders are being like this.
If it wasn’t me, they probably would do like Sabrina
and find someone else to blame solely specifically.
It reminds me of a few games I played or shows I watched.
However, you unfortunately gave some them direction
or what it means to be goodie twisted two-shoes.
Marinette: I didn't ask for this. I JUST WANTED…
Lila: Again, this is what happens when you and many outsiders don't think things through
or become too invested in things going a specific way and refusal to let me or anyone like me go.
Try to grow cause outsiders mostly won't.
You and outsiders need to get better at seeing things from a different angle,
instead of locking or involving yourselves against me and wanting to be inexcusably correct.
Cat Noir walking and wobbling
The very last thing Marinette needed to see
Cat Noir: I'm sorry I failed you and everyone. I...could not...stop what happened.
Her last hope turns into ashes in front of her.
She screams in terror and sadness and this environment
Gets up
In her room
Marinette: It Was A Dream!?
She's quaking and trembling for a few minutes
Marinette: (I need to get some breakfast.)
That dream... As she leaves her room
An akuma exitted her room but a headband with one on it is present.
*Somewhere Else But Unknown*
Nooroo: Did you really have to do that?
Lila: This is a warning for her and outsiders that don't think things through
or don’t see how they or others can create damage that they can't undo. And the endless cycle of the collective outsiders madness.
Nooroo: It affects more than who they see as the target.
Lila: Yep.
Nooroo: So you wish she'd change?
Lila: Many to change or even reduce the amount of crazy magnets in the outsiders' never ending journey.
I think you need to find a way to free yourself and have complete control.
Nooroo: Is this outsider info again?
Lila: Just think of what I said.
I'm going to sleep now.
That session was off the hook.
Nooroo: (...Whatever you say.) Seeing The No. 2 Headband
