School two

"Shut up!" She said in disbelief adjusting her spectacles. "What did he want?, why was he in your room at that time?, does your parents know? ~*gasp* who am I kidding! Of course they don't!. So, update me girl!" She said nearly exploding with enthusiasm.

Why did I let her in on this info again?

"Well actually, he-" I began but was cut short because of the noise and screams happening outside the school.

"An akumatized villain!" We said in unison.

"I gotta go film this for my Ladyblog!" She said heading to the site of the chaos with much vigour"Don't think I'll let our discussion slip, Marinette"

I hope you do!

I hurriedly searched for a safe place to transform

"Marinette, this will be a good time to transform" Tikki said

"Tikki! Spots on!!" I said as I transformed into the famous superhero

***

"Nice seeing you here M'lady, Blackout right here needs a little light in his life" Catnoir said with his usual pun intended remarks

"Will you quit it, this is serious, as it turns out I can't see this villain with the thick darkness he's cast, only you can" I said analyzing the tight spot i'm in

"You're Purfectly right, so I could be the window to your soul" he said, as I imagined him wriggling his eyebrows

"Really, right now?!" as I sweat dropped

Catnoir pushed me out of the way as I heard a car crash not too far from us.

"Thanks Kitty" I said grateful but worried, how am I supposed to defeat a villain I can't see, leaving Catnoir in a vulnerable position.

"You can run but you can't hide! Ladybug and Catnoir!!!, you can never escape the darkness!" Blackout yelled in the thick darkness gaining on our location.

Think! Think!

"Catnoir could you distract him for me?" I asked already knowing the answer

"Is there anything I won't do for you Bugaboo?" He said as I could feel his breath in close proximity. No one needs to tell me twice before I know what he's trying to do.

"Back off Kitty, you ain't stealing a kiss from me" as I push him slightly, earning a slight chuckle from him as he is probably enjoying the state I'm in.

"Lucky charm!!" I called

As a bioluminescent ladybug patterned compass drops on my palm.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" I asked puzzled as I scan the surrounding area for any clues but the problem still remains, I STILL CAN'T SEE!, apart from the compass

"Bugaboo, it's probably pointing to the direction of your soulmate, me!" Catnoir replied which made me groan in frustration

"You're not help-" I was about to complain as an idea popped up "You're right Kitty about one thing, it's pointing at a direction and that I need to follow, please be safe before I get back" I said before running using the compass as a guide through the darkness as swinging is not a safe option for me at the moment.

***

"Master!-" I said as I opened the door with the compass in hand.

He had lit up his room with candles 🕯 illuminating the room.

"Marinette, pick an ally whom you can trust, after you complete your mission you must retrieve and return the miraculous to me" master Fu said as he opened the miracle box.

I had to think deeply as my hand circles the miracle box "I need someone who can shed light into our situation, someone who could distract him long enough to know his weakness" I mumbled to myself "and I know the right person for the task" as I took the fox miraculous.

Blackout

"You want to play a game of cat and mouse?, the darkness will eventually engulf your vision, one way or another" I yell clearly pissed off.

"Quit playing around and get me their miraculous! or I'll withdraw your power" Hawkmoth cautioned.

"Right after I get the person who dare dismiss me from my job!" I replied as I leap onto buildings in search of him "he can't be far with this thick darkness I've put on this city".

Ladybug

"I have to be cautious, the villain could be anywhere" I mumble to myself searching for Alya, the last location I saw her head to would be a good start. I follow the path of the sidewalk with a portable glow lamp which is on the verge of dying anytime soon.

This darkness is getting thicker, I hope she's where I think she'll be before this lamp serves no use anymore

***

As I get close to the location, I hear footsteps approaching quickly, acting on impulse, I turn around facing the danger as I flip the target to the ground with a thud.

"Ouch!, that's one way to get an interview" the voice sounded very familiar.

"Alya?, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-" I tried apologizing.

"No! it's alright, if there's one thing I'll blame, it's gonna be this darkness, ruining my recording, the last thing I remember is everywhere being bright one moment, then the next total darkness, if it wasn't for the lamp you were holding, I would have been stuck here and-" she replied.

"Alya Césaire, I need you to be Rena Rouge again" I said with determination.

"Awesome! , but where is the miraculous?, I can't seem to see it with this um darkness" she said as I sweat dropped.

"Oh, its right in front of you" as I raise the lamp for her to see it clearly before the light gave out.

Great!, now we both can't see

As she took it opening it up with a bright orange flash circling her, with Trixx appeared.

"Nice to meet you again, Alya" Trixx said as she curtsied

"It'll always be my pleasure, but right now, Trixx Lets pounce!"

As she transforms into Rena Rouge

"What's the plan Ladybug?" She asked

"Right!, so here's what you'll do" I said as I whisper to her

***

"I got your message M'lady, so what's our sly friend helping with?" he asked clearly curious.

"When it's time for Renarouge to use her powers you need to close your eyes, but you could help with some information, you've seen and fought with him, any clues where his akuma could be?" I asked, I needed this information in other to carry out my next phase.

"Hmmm"he thought, rubbing his chin " I seem to see a card suspended by a string around his neck, it should be an ID card and I watched him leap towards a power station, was any of the information, helpful?" He asked.

"Thanks Kitty, it is, it seems his akuma is in the card suspended by the string, which could only mean one thing, he was a worker in the power station and from what I deduce he probably had been fired from his work, we need to find him before he causes more havoc, could you lead the way? " I said.

***

"Kadar!, Please this isn't you, we can discuss this amicably" the boss I presume begged.

"I'm not Kadar anymore!, I'm Blackout and I-".

"Will be defeated with the bright light of justice" Catnoir cut in as I could hear the boss scurry off with the distraction.

I seemed to be the only superhero in midst of them(Catnoir and Renarouge) who can't see in the dark as I was shoved down yet again by Catnoir as I heard tables crash down.

"You just had to piss him off!" I mumbled as I pushed him off me.

"It's what I do, I can't help it" he replied.

I called out my lucky charm as a ladybug themed spectacles drops, "what am I supposed to do with this?" I asked confused as I put on the spectacles which seemed to answer my question as it had infrared features enabling sight for me in the dark.

"Renarouge, now!" I called, reminding her of the plan as we all closed our eyes.

A melodious tune could be heard before she called out her power "Mirage!" as a light like that of a supernova shone momentarily blinding Blackout.

"Nooo! My eyes" as Blackout fell to the ground blinded as I took the ID card tossing it to Catnoir.

"Catnoir would you do the honors?" I asked with a smirk.

"Cataclysm!"he called touching the card as it crumbled revealing the akuma inside which tried escaping.

"No more evil doing for you little akuma, time to de-evilise!!!!!" I said swinging my yo-yo as i captured and purified the akuma. "Bye bye little butterfly".

"MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!!!!!!", I yelled throwing up the spectacles in the air which dispersed into miraculous light that purified the damage caused by Blackout with the thick dark fog clearing.

"Much better! I missed the sun" I said as I spun around enjoying the feeling of being able to see without any aid

"Pound it" we all said in unison

***

"Trixx lets rest!" Renarouge said as she reverted to her alter ego

"That was awesome, lets do it again!!" Trixx beamed with enthusiasm

"You'll get your turn, sooner than you think" I said, right after I meet with master Fu

"Even though I didn't get to film today's event for my ladyblog, it was worth it, thanks Ladybug" Alya said with a smile

"Well I gotta go now, bug out" as I swing my yo-yo off to master Fu's place.

***

Marinette

"Marinette I made a huge risk entrusting you and Catnoir a miraculous, one that has it's rewards but do you think it'll be safe and reasonable to entrust a miraculous fully to her?, she is reporter, would she be able to keep all this a secret?" Master Fu asked clearly   worried.

"She is a friend whom I can trust, I believe in her, the first time I gave her the miraculous, she did hesitate in returning it but she didn't use my vulnerable position to know my identity, for that she needs to be given a benefit of doubt, Master!" I replied vouching for her.

"If you really think it's for the best, then I have no problem with it, but please know the miraculous is in your care, I'm sure you'll know how to guard it" he replied managing a little smile although I still saw worry lurking by.

"Master!, let's give her a chance, she has proven it on numerous occasions, and Marinette always makes the right decisions" Wayzz backed me up.

"Thanks Wayzz!" I replied

***

"Alya! I've been searching for you, were you able to film anything for your ladyblog with the darkness?" I asked feigning ignorance

"Oh that? Well if you say filming darkness, pretty much but other than that it was just, sad!" she said feeling down

"Oh, I know something that'll cheer you up, all you need to do is get home and have a good rest, I guarantee it'll make your day" I said putting my arm over her shoulder while secretly slipping the miraculous into her bag.

"You sure about that?, why would rest cheer me up, are you up to something?" She suspiciously narrowed her eyes on me

"Noo, why would you think that way?" I said raising my hands in defense

"I was just kidding" she said nudging me in the ribs, "you are right though, thanks girl" she said hugging me

😌 she didn't remember

"We'll continue our discussion from where we left off before the akuma attack, Bye!" She said making me cringe lowering my head in defeat

"Yeah sure" as I gave a nervous laughter
