ML Fic: Fail-Safe
"This wasnt how it was supposed to happen! I was supposed to get the miraculous! I was supposed to win!" Chrysalis yelled.
Her words right as Chat Noir swiped the Butterfly miraculous off of her.
She transformed revealing her short brown hair. Her butterfly themed costume vanished as her civilian form appeared, still restrained by Ladybug. Cerise sat restrained and enraged.
"Its over. Its FINALLY over!" Ladybug exclaimed. She felt like a massive weight on her shoulders had finally been lifted.
"No! All my planning, EVERYTHING! I...." Cerise's words were blocked by an apple that Rena Rouge shoved to her face.
"Yea, its probably for the best that you shut up. Let Ladybug have her moment." The fox heroine commented.
The other heroes were cheering at the victory. The final climactic battle for Paris was done. All of Paris was free of the butterfly villainess.
Caprikid created a rope to tie up Cerise so Ladybug could summon her lucky charm.
Ladybug created a Mega phone, Rena Rogue used her flute as video cam that was uploading live to the ladyblog. This was a big moment.
"People of Paris! The nightmare is over! We have captured Chrysalis! We have saved Paris from suffering under the Akuma! We have won!"
All of paris was cheering, all of the heroes were shouting for joy, all but one.
The team had gathered together to do a team fist bump.
"Pound it!" The Miraculers exclaimed loudly and proudly.
Afterward that, Rena Rouge turned off the feed. Miss Hound, Vesperia, Caprikid and Roosterbold watched Cerise closely as they handed her over to the authorities.
"Cant believe its over." Rena Rouge said as she approached Ladybug.
"It feels like a dream." Ladybug said with relief. "But there are still a few more things to do. Like put the butterfly miraculous away."
Ladybug took a second and realized, she wasnt holding it.
"Wait... where is the butterfly miraculous?" Ladybug asked.
Rena Rouge Frozed.
"You dont have it?"
Both girls felt their smiles fade, when Carapace jumped in, putting his arm around Rena Rouge.
"So whose hosting the Celebration party?" Carapace asked. "Cause I was thinking..."
"Carapace, do you know where the Butterfly miraculous is?" Ladybug interrupted.
"I think Chat noir was the one to swipe it off her." He responded.
Ladybug felt her worry dissipate.
"Oh thank goodness, I should get that from him."
Ladybug looked around and noticed that the black cat hero was no longer in the area.
"Chat noir?" She called out. Wondering where that silly cat could have gone.
"Maybe he needed a bathroom break." Carapace suggested.
"I think I should call him.
______________________________________________________________
Chat noir headed home, The moment his hands held the Butterfly miraculous, he felt something echo in his mind. It was so powerful it compelled him to rush home.
After he made it to his room through the window. He transformed back into his civilian form. His cat kwami appearing beside him.
"Not in the mood to party?" Plagg asked. "I was hoping that we could stay and see the cheese... Adrien?"
Adrien was walking out of his room like he was in a trance. He entered his father's bed room, he moved to the corner of the room and peeled back the carpet. It was there that he found a box. He opened the box.
Plagg was watching with concern.
"Adrien? Is everything okay?"
Adrien stopped.
"My parents are dead Plagg. But they wont be for long."
Adrien opened the letter, it was written to him by his father.
He began reading it.
"Adrien, what are you saying."
The blond boy didnt look up as he kept reading, but responded to his friend.
"My father was Monarch because my mother used a broken peacock miraculous to create me. I am a sentimonster."
Plagg shuddered, how did adrien know this?
"You knew? But how?"
Adrien finished reading the letter. He put it in his pocket and took the few contents of the box and put it in his pocket.
"My father told me. He told me sometime before his death." He answered emotionless.
"When? How? Why did you never say anything?"
Adrien looked at his kwami.
"He put a command in my amok, one that I was instructed to forget everything about until a specific criteria was met."
Plagg felt a chill.
"What criteria?"
"Should I hold the Butterfly miraculous in my hand, I will take over as my father and attain the ladybug and cat miraculous in order to wish my parents back to life. It will be my main objective, and nothing will stop me from completing it. It was his fail-safe."
"Adrien, you hold your rings now, you can cancel the order!"
"I cant undo it, the order made it so I cant."
"Hand me your rings! I will cancel the order for you."
"No."
"No?"
"Its my main objective, I will not forfeit my purpose. My father made sure if I ever had attained my own amok, I would never desire to stray from this order."
Adrien's words were emotionless, like a robot with a directive, he would not stop until his parents were alive again.
"I am going to get. Ladybug, she can..."
"Stay."
Plagg stopped moving. The kwami can not disobey their holders. He can not move as Adrien moved to him.
"You will tell no one of this until this is over." Adrien commanded.
Plagg could swear that he could feel the monarch's presence with his holder's words. Adrien was still in there, but he was still being held Captive by his father.
"Plagg, Nooro, Unify!"
The butterfly and Cat miraculous merged. Chat noir's green coloring was replaced with purple. His blond hair changed to Silver.
His claws now sharper with silver tipped claws. His staff and the Butterfly cane merged to create a scepter. His leather outfit shifted to become more like a black suit similar to that of Hawkmoth, yet still containing his chat noir flair.
"One miraculous down... just one to go."
