The True Villain

"Master...?" Marinette asked in disbelief. "Yes Marinette, it was me this whole time. I needed to give someone the two miraculous' so I could find the chosen ones. You and Adrien are the chosen ones Marinette." "But you helped us, and we helped you. Why would you do this?" "Oh Marinette, I am the leader of the dark guardians. Miraculous wielders who stole miraculous boxes from the temple and used them to end the order of the miraculous." Marinette couldn't believe Master Fu had stooped so low to pretend to be their friend and now would dare target their families. Marinette was in a cold sweat and was still in pain from her wound and closed her eyes. "Hey!" a voice shouted from above. They all looked up to see Cat Noir swinging down in front of the cloaked man and Master Fu. Ladybug had never been so happy to hear Cat Noir's voice. "Look who the cat dragged in." The cloaked man remarked. "How could you?!" Cat Noir yelled. "Let her go now!" Master Fu laughed and his eyes glowed with red. "Capture him." He said and the cloaked man charged Cat Noir. The man had a knife and Cat blocked his attacks with his stick. He was a hard opponent to go against and Cat Noir messaged his father for backup.

Gabriel was sitting at home and immediately sensed strong emotions that were coming from his son. He transformed and got his messages. "I'm coming son." He said to himself as he headed out.

Cat Noir was able to hit the cloaked man in the face, which startled him, and Cat Noir pulled off his cloak. He was bald and muscular and now he was mad. "Come on baldy, afraid of the cat's paw?" "You won't be joking when I bring you down." He growled and continued his attack. Master Fu watched the fight with a grin on his face. He turned to Ladybug who still had beads of sweat coming from her forehead and tears spilling from her eyes. He removed the cloth from her wound to examine how bad it was, and it didn't look good. The wound was sure to get infected if it wasn't treated soon. He pulled out a vile of liquid and dropped it on the wound. Master Fu was a healer in his time and Ladybug let out a cry when the pain got worse. Master Fu then began to mesmerize her, and she began to feel sleepy. She closed her eyes and the pain left. The medicine cleaned the wound through and slowed the infection. Cat Noir pushed his way towards Master Fu and Ladybug, but the man grabbed his stick and threw it aside. Then he put a knife to his throat and Cat Noir didn't move. "Adrien it didn't have to be this way." Master Fu said. "You could have listened to me and stuck to the mission, but you had to go and make things difficult." Cat Noir felt the metal get closer to his neck and swallowed hard. Then they all heard a crash, and someone entered the room. It was a tall figure that could only be seen as a silhouette in the dark. "I'll only warn you once. Let them go or be destroyed." Said a deep voice. Adrien instantly recognized it as his father. He came out of the dark revealing his hawkmoth outfit ready to strike with his staff. "Take him down!" Master Fu yelled and the man let go of Cat Noir and went after Hawkmoth. They were more of an even match and fought each other with equal strength. Cat Noir moved to help him, but Master Fu held a gun up to his head. "Don't move." He said Cat Noir watched helplessly as his dad fought the villain. Hawkmoth was strong and knocked the man to the ground. He then akumatized him and had him under his complete control. Master Fu growled. "If you want your son to live surrender!" He said. Hawkmoth had a plan of his own. "Go ahead and kill him. I won't surrender." He said. Cat Noir's jaw dropped. His father had literally told Master Fu to kill him without hesitation. Maybe he really didn't care about him anymore. A tear left Cat Noirs eye as he looked at his father. Hawkmoth winked and Master Fu shot his gun, but the bullet turned around and flew towards the bald man who was now akumatized. The bullet floated in the air in front of him as he had the ability to control metal. Master Fu was stunned. Hawkmoth came up and whacked him with his staff leaving him on the ground. He helped his son up who went over to Ladybug who was motionless. Hawkmoth grabbed Master Fu and Cat Noir picked up Ladybug. They dropped Ladybug off at the house where Emilie tended to her wounded leg. Cat Noir and Hawkmoth brought the two dark guardians to the police station. Hawkmoth un-akumatized the cloaked man after he was tied up and hid, letting Cat Noir do the arresting. When Cat Noir returned, he looked into his father's eyes and they were smiling. "I'm proud of you son." He said. Cat Noir hugged his father. They returned to the mansion and found Emilie who had removed Ladybug's earrings. She was in bed and Emilie was massaging her head. "How is she?" Adrien asked with worry. "We need to get a doctor here so her leg can heal properly." Emilie said. "Adrien…?" Marinette said weakly opening her eyes. "Yes my love?" Adrien replied holding her hand. "Thank you for everything." She said with tears in her eyes. Adrien smiled back at her and squeezed her hand affectionately. "I love you Marinette." He said. "I love you too Adrien." She smiled back. Paramedics arrived a few minutes later and cleaned and stitched her wound. The color eventually returned to her lips and she began to feel better. Gabriel immediately called the adoption place and realized that Marinette had never been adopted. It was all a sham to get her to believe she was. Gabriel and Emilie signed the papers to adopt Marinette and she joined the family.
