Author's Note: Alright, don't sue me T_T I've got another idea for Miraculous and all thanks to my bathroom—I swear, that my place is like my inspiration spot—don't ask. But uhm, this was nagging on my head and I had to write it out; I don't know how many chapters there will be as it is still in the processing of being planned but I just hope you still enjoy it just the same. So, let's get going!

Summary: After the last battle, the enemy left out a very important piece of information, leaving Mari baffled. Wanting to know, she confided in with Tikki who eventually told her that there are more than two miraculous. What happens if that Miraculous is deep in sleep?

Chapter 1: A Secret Information

The sound of a page flipped was heard and Marinette found herself in the library on a Saturday afternoon. Since she finished her homework, she thought she might as well go to the library.

And here she was, looking through an old book. The surprise was that the book, despite the fact that it was old, it seemed to be holding well. Marinette stopped at a page she was most interest at. She studied the information before she spoke to her partner.

Although from a fair distance, people would think that she was talking to herself.

"Is there such thing as a new Miraculous holder, Tikki?" Mari asked.

Tikki paused what she was doing and glanced up. "Well, the only ones I know are you and Chat Noir."

"So I see." she murmured. "But, anyways I think it will be real cool if we manage to grab hold of another Miraculous. Just think of it: instead of duo, it will be trio!" Mari replied, getting excited.

Tikki gave a faint smile. Mari resumed looking through the book and it wasn't until then that screams interrupted the silence. However, that quickly gained Mari's attention which she instantly got up.

"Wha? What's happening?" Mari exclaimed. Mari started to run but she skidded for a brief second, glancing back at the book. She then grabbed it, hiding it between several books and ran out.

"That's right, fools! Run! Run for your puny lives! This city belongs to me!" a crazed villain announced. He then eyed a post box before taking out his object which happened to be a dream-catcher.

Only it did the opposite.

The mail box turned into some sort of a monstrous creature. It snarled as it began to destroy.

"Honestly? How many times are we going to go through this? This city belongs to us." a new voice replied.

The catcher turned around and glanced up at the roof; a cruel smile escaped its lips.

"Ah, if it isn't the darling Ladybug. The heroine of Paris."

Ladybug raised one of her eyebrows before sliding down a path. "And who are you might be?"

"The name's Nightmare, mi'lady." he bowed, his head down. "And I feel honored standing in your presence." he replied as he lifted his head up.

Ladybug blinked. "Right." she then eyed the object that was currently in his hands. Her eyes slightly widened as she realized what it was. It was a dream catcher; the item that was supposed to erase any bad dreams.

Guess Hawk Moth decided to corrupt it and turn it to a Nightmare catcher.

"But you know," Nightmare spoke, alerting her. "You mentioned us. So…where's your "other"?"

Ladybug stared at the enemy with wide eyes before she turned to the side only to realize that he indeed was right. She sighed.

That damn cat.

"But no matter. Without the other one, I will have no problem annihilating you!"

He started to attack but another voice came.

"Wanna bet?"

Just like that, the newcomer came from his hiding spot and then before the villain could even release his power, both of the weapons collided against. The new person landed on his feet, eyes narrowed.

"Ah, so this must be your…partner." Nightmare sneered.

Chat Noir glanced behind, noticing Ladybug.

"Well, hello my lady." he purred, joining her.

She made a flat face. "You're late."

"Distractions?" he offered though Ladybug only shook her head as she sighed.

"Let's just get this over with."

"Good! Action is all I crave." Nightmare exclaimed.

Noir smirked. "If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!"

The black cat charged towards the enemy but the opponent was quicker. This time, he was able to release his attack from his weapon and a blast of power was unleashed from the item. It struck Chat Noir, sending him to fly back and crashed into a wall.

Marinette narrowed her eyes; the only thing that was set in her mind was the object.

"My turn!" she proclaimed, twirling her yoyo before freeing it. Unfortunately, the foe dodged it left and right until the adversary performed his tricks, knocking the yoyo away. As a result, it made Ladybug be tied up from her own item and fell to the ground.

"Looks like you're all tangled up, ahahahaha!" he cackled.

His laugh was cut short when something struck in his face, causing Nightmare collapse to the ground. He grunted but the foe was quick to return and so was Chat Noir. The minute Nightmare released his power, Chat Noir quickly pulled out his staff, twirling it around in front of him; the staff blocked out most of the attacks.

On the two last attacks, Chat Noir managed to block the first blow but the second one was where he got struck. Noir grunted when he slammed against a pole.

"Lucky Charm!"

In a flash, an object appeared in her hands which caused her blink with confusion.

"Dream catcher…? What? But he already has a dream catcher." Ladybug replied, eyes wide.

Noir pushed himself up. "Try to give him his own medicine." he called out. "The opposite of Nightmares are dreams."

"Of course!"

Ladybug began to scan but with a one sinister smile, this made Nightmare vanish. Marinette blinked.

"Where did he go?"

"Uh…" Noir shrugged. Unaware to both, in a hazy mist, Nightmare appeared behind Chat Noir but the enemy knew he had little time to react. Quickly, Nightmare placed his own Night catcher behind Noir's head and with a wave of his hand, a misty power went through the object and washed over Noir.

Noir absent-mindedly widened his eyes and his once piercing green eyes turned to piercing red. And like that, Nightmare vanished which made Noir groan with discomfort.

Ladybug turned around and gasped, noticing her partner. "Chat Noir!" she ran towards him and started to reach out for him. But the minute she did, Noir pushed her away which made her have a hurt expression but she pushed it away.

"Get away…from me…" he breathed heavily, his hand on his face; his bangs covering his eyes.

He winced when a sharp image entered his mind. Ladybug managed to make out the quiet murmur Noir made.

"Ladybug."

Marinette widened her eyes. "Chat Noir, whatever image Nightmare planted in you, it's not real. Ignore it. You're the strongest person I ever met and you can win this. I'm right here." Mari placed her gloved hand on his and when she did, Noir felt a jolt going through his body. It wasn't until then that his eyes flickered back to his normal color before he slumped softly.

"Chat Noir…" Ladybug sighed as she placed him on the floor then got up, a determined look on her face.

"You think you can take over with your nightmares but you're wrong!" she growled, eyes scanning throughout the area. Eyes narrowed, Ladybug took out her own dream-catcher and raised it in the air.

She used the item to examine the place before she smirked when the object pulsed.

Ha, got you.

With that, Ladybug ran towards the place which she found Nightmare. Meanwhile, Nightmare frowned when he found the collapsed Chat Noir and sighed. So much for his plan. It would've worked if that damn Ladybug didn't go his way.

Insufferable prat.

"You know, if you want to hide, it's best to actually have a proper hiding spot."

Nightmare turned around only to have a kick in the face. He made an "oof" sound as he collapsed.

"It's time to taste your own medicine!" Ladybug declared as she took out her given object. She waved it over Nightmare and a hazy mist started to appear over him.

Nightmare gave a sharp gasp as he felt the defeat.

"N…No…" he started to visibly shake. "NO! THIS CAN'T BE!" he howled, feeling the darkness fading away. He began to clumsily crawl up, using the wall for support but then he roughly shoved Ladybug away.

"NOO!" with a demented face, Nightmare was able to spill out the last few words. "This isn't over, you wretch!" he snarled, heavily. "Just you wait! You and the others will come to the same sticky end!"

Ladybug frowned before she performed her usual routine. She grabbed the corrupted item, throwing it to the ground before shouting out.

"You've done enough harm, little one! Time to cleanse evil!" she exclaimed as she took out her yoyo to purify the butterfly. "Gotcha!" she spoke then released it. "Bye, bye little butterfly!"

Like that, the critter flew away and Mari threw her lucky charm in the air. "Miraculous Ladybug!" and what once was destroyed was now fixed.

Nightmare disappeared and out of the corrupted state, an innocent man was replaced with a confused look.

"What? What happened?" he responded, blankly. Ladybug gave a soft smile and she walked towards the man, giving back the original dreamcatcher. "Here. Take care of this."

The man nodded. "I will. Thank you, Ladybug."

Marinette sighed but before she went towards her partner, the words from Nightmare echoed in her mind.

"Just you wait! You and the others will come to the same sticky end!"

Marinette frowned. What did he meant by others? Were there more of them? A disturbed look went on her face as she ran towards Chat Noir who seemed to be waking up.

Ladybug recalled that Tikki said she doesn't know. Was she…lying? She shook her head. Right now, Chat Noir needed attention.

"Chat Noir!" she joined him, helping him up. "Are you alright?"

"Ungh…I felt like I was in some sort of an endless dream." Noir muttered. "Actually, it didn't felt like a dream at all. More like a…nightmare." Chat said before the word nightmare stuck into his head; he growled. "The villain. Where is he?" he demanded.

Ladybug shook her head. "He's gone. He's been purified. You need rest and besides, your transformation is wearing out."

Noir took a look at his ring before he glanced at her earrings. "And so does yours." he eventually took back his arm. "I'll be fine. Go."

He started to go but staggered a little bit which earned Marinette to be worried.

"I'm fine." he insisted before flashing her a smile. He then threw his staff and vanished.

Marinette swiftly entered her balcony then went through her door that would lead her to her room. As she went down the stairs, her transformation faded away and out came Tikki.

"You did it again, Mari!" Tikki exclaimed, cheerfully. "Paris is saved!"

"Well, Paris isn't really saved, technically. Hawk Moth is still on the loose. As long as he's around, Paris isn't exactly safe." she pointed it out.

"Yeah, I guess that's true."

Tikki glued her eyes to her heroine and couldn't help but to notice how odd she was acting; everything around her seemed…disturbing. She let out a sigh, floating towards her.

"Marinette, what's wrong?" Tikki asked, quietly.

Mari blinked, taken aback. "Wha? N—nothing's wrong!"

The Kwami frowned. "I've known you for too long. I know something's wrong so what is it?"

The designer took a breath before looking straight at Tikki. "You lied to me."

Tikki blinked, totally being off-guard. "What?"

An angry and hurt expression etched onto her face. "You lied to me, Tikki. There are other Miraculouses!" she began and Tikki gulped, knowing she was in hot water. She also didn't realize that she was going back when Mari started to advance on her.

Tikki soon realized it though when her back hit gently against the wall.

"What have you been keeping from me, Tikki?!"

Author's Note: Ooo so things aren't good at the end. Mari's been hurt from Tikki and all because it's the villain's fault, really. So, Mari should just let it all out at the enemy himself. BUT, Nightmare is no longer there…what happens next, read on to find out! Toodles!
