La Red

D/C: I own nothing.

Warning: Bullying and mention of suicide.

-.-

[That friend of yours, Miss Ladyblog, finally decided to checkout the blog. I would advise you and your friends to not go on the blog until she is no longer on. Last thing we need is you or one of them get involved in her… shenanigans.]

[…is it bad?]

[Oh… it's bad. Very bad. She's mocking everyone's story with their… interaction with Liar-Liar. Many of her comments are vicious and it's making everyone uncomfortable to the point where many of us are leaving to get away from it all. I'm going to have the mods copy everything she posted for future reasons. At this point, we don't know if we should ban her yet. Banning her is a double edge sword.

If we get her to show more people the blog, there could be people questioning her actions. If we ban her, she could spin it to her favor. For now, I managed to get everyone to agree to not confront her.]

[I wouldn't be surprised if she'll 'show off' what she found tomorrow at school. Go on and on how you guys are supposedly bullying Lila… I'm afraid Lila will spin it to fit her agenda.]

[Just play it cool. You have friends. Even if they spin their tale, this will cause many to rethink of Alya and what's her face's actions. Your former friend is an entertainer. Your classmates are going to question her actions. Her morals. Her virtues. And most of all… her sanity.]

Ladybug, Carapace and Bumblebee knew they were going to need help when dealing with Chat Noir. His power is growing weaker and unpredictable by the day. It's not so much of that reason to revoke the Cat Miraculous from Chat Noir, it's his refusal to see reality. That refusal of not seeing how his behavior is affecting everyone around him has everyone on edge. His behavior had caused many of them to get hurt on multiple occasions. All for what? To prove a point.

Tikki only confirmed some things for Ladybug, who then told the others, that Plagg is rejecting his holder. Purposely making himself weaker by the day. The only reason Chat Noir is still able to transform is his tenacity and that is dangerous for everyone involved. Chat right now has less restraint towards his powers, and with the power of destruction, that is a very bad combination. Using that tenacity and the will to keep his freedom… is never a good combo.

With all of this in mind, they are going to need all the help they could get. But… who to trust?

-.-

"I'm going to have Viperion on standby. If things go bad, he could turn back time…" Marinette muttered to herself, pacing around her room as she thought over her plan. The plan? The plan to get back the Cat Miraculous. There can't be any room for mistakes. Fu knows what she and the others are planning. It's just a matter of planning things out to ensure the fallout won't be one with grave consequences. "Carapace to lock us in the barrier, Bumblebee to paralyze him, Viperion to rewind time if things go bad, Ryuko to help fight against him, Pegasus to ensure of an escape of Viperion along with King Monkey…"

"You still need a reason to get Chat Noir out there to meet with you." Tikki pipped up.

"I know… There's only so much I cou… So much I could do…" Marinette slapped her forehead before falling back in her couch. "It looks like Plan F is going to be needed after all."

"You cannot possibly think that, Marinette? Do you know how dangerous that would be for you?"

"It won't be me out there. I just need to find someone that could help us. They don't even have to fight; I just need them to create an illusion long enough to capture Chat's attention."

-.-

Sabrina stared at the little red box that was just handed to her by Ladybug. Her eyes widen in shock when a little fox appeared before her, calling himself Trixx, and introduced himself as such. "Did Marinette talk to you? I know that the both of you at least know each other."

"She has… and we need you help with…. Dealing with Chat Noir." Ladybug felt her mouth go dry, to say it out loud just made things more real. "And possibly going after Hawkmoth once that times comes if you prove yourself of the miraculous."

"…What happened with Rena Rouge?" Sabrina asked, still not believing what has just been handed to her. "Chloe mentioned she no longer is part of the roster, but never mentioned why."

"Rena Rouge has lost my complete trust in her. That is all you need to know for now." Ladybug's thinned, she really didn't want to rehash what had happened between her and… Alya.

-.-

Alya crackled at all the things she saw through in that troll blog that's been harassing the Ladyblog. All of it it's just a load of garbage that it made her wonder how the creator of it even managed to get so many people to believe such bullshit. Laughable really.

Oh, one got threatened by Lila? Hah! Lila doesn't have a mean bone in her body. By the looks of it, the ass had stirred up trouble with Lila and of course, Lila had to defend herself!

Then this other person! They got in massive trouble for stealing Lila's belongings and getting expelled! What a joke of a person!

Then there's this…

This only continues on… Alya just continues to mock all the stories she's reading on the troll blog. Even posting her comments on all the stories. Nothing nice mind you, but did she care? She does not. To her, they were all a bunch of liars, bullies and just a bunch of internet trolls that are jealous… of Lila.

'Marinette…'

-.-

Sabrina knew things have been looking up for her since she found out more people know of Lila's lies. There was only so much she could have said or done before Marinette found the blog. She has heard and been told the horrid stories of those that had to deal with Lila Rossi. Even more so after a very personal loss that is still raw in her heart.

It took everything in her to not knock Lila out, but Sabrina knew she could not. Lila would target her, repeating the process of what she has done to many. To make matters worse… Marinette became the next target of Lila's reign of terror.

Sabrina had to play the game for as long as she could to help Marinette and to take down Lila as much as she could. Did she regret it? No more than following Chloe around… as much… Okay, it was bad. But did she get her own form of petty revenge time to time? Yes. Yes, she has.

That was then, this is now… Sabrina could still play the game of being the double spy, but Lila doesn't need to know that her allegiance isn't towards her. It's towards Aaron. Her family. And now her friends.

Now with more recent good news, Sabrina just became the new Rena Rouge! Well… the new holder of the Fox Miraculous and one thing for sure, she won't use the same name of the previous holder. Sourire Moqueur, perhaps?

Sabina grinned at the thought. She may be a part time hero now, but she plans on taking this seriously. No mistakes that would have the miraculous permanently taken away from her like what happened with the last holder.

Either way, life is good.

Very good.

-.-

Aurore helped one of her classmates and primary focus for the next episode on The Heroes Within. What got her attention? The student had created a drive for a local farm that had recently burned down and in need of help. Said local farm has been helping the community by providing produce to the local shelters.

Sweet really.

They only had so much time to shoot this shot before the plans on going to the farm and shelters later in the day to continue with the episode. Nothing out of the norm.

"Okay! Perfect!" Aurore giggled; she took her personalized microphone from the cameraman. She signaled the cameraman to start rolling when she heard something that almost caused her to roll her eyes. By the sounds of it, Alya is doing her very best to gather a crowd to do another performance of making someone feel like shit because of Lila.

Normally, Aurore would ignore this in favor of doing her work… until she caught wind on what exactly Alya is spewing about. It made her blood freeze over. Along with student and cameraman. She, the student and cameraman turned around to face the ever-growing group that are now giving Alya their attention… for all the wrong reasons.

Aurore could feel her jaw drop as Alya started her show and tell once Marinette arrived at the scene. What Alya accused Marinette doing caused many to wonder what the hell is wrong with Alya. Accusing Marinette of creating a blog dedicated to bullying Lila? Aurore knew of the blog. She got curious about the apparent trolls and did her own investigating. Her investigating caused her to truly wonder just how evil Lila is and how much Alya is unwilling to open her eyes. Even after seeing everything on said blog… and listening to Alya's tirade of insults, pettiness and so much more towards Marinette.

Aurore quickly did her best to navigate through ever growing crowd of students to get to Marinette but was unable to get far. But at least she could see Marinette and Alya from where she stands. Marinette isn't alone entirely. Alix is there and is being hold back by Kim and Ivan as it appeared the pinkette wants to throttle Alya. Chloe and Nino are there, ensuring that Alya kept a respectable distance from Marinette to ensure it doesn't get physical.

At this point… many are tempted.

What Alya is saying is making everyone's stomach turn. Is… is she accusing Marinette of… that! Of course, everyone knew Marinette dislikes Lila. Dislike doesn't even cover it, but it still stand. Marinette would never do anything Alya is accusing her of. If Marinette was really that petty, she would have done something to Chloe… only something far worse.

What's worse is that, right about the majority of the school already knew of Lila's lies. They never once bothered to entertain the lies. Lila already captured a class and is too much of an idiot to realize that she only captured Bustier's class and no one else. Alya's actions only showcased her character. How much she's unwilling to see reason an-

"Everyone knows your jealous of her! Get off our damn high horse about it." Alya spat out to a surprisingly calm Marinette. "Then you create this blog? Seriously? Are you that fucking petty!"

Marinette didn't respond, it looked like she's biting on the inside of her cheek to from doing so. Couldn't blame her really. Alya always spin everything back around at Marinette. It's always about Alya, never about Marinette. Unless Alya plans something that only helps in her favor or taking credit for. Blame Marinette for all of her failures and take all the credit when something does go right. It makes Aurore wonder why Marinette stayed friends with Alya for so long.

At least Nino is doing his best to stand up to his ex-girlfriend for Marinette sakes. Chloe…. Well, she's just being herself and being snarky against Alya. Alix is still yelling out insults and threats against Alya. Alya continued on… this time reading the memorial page of the late Aaron. Calling it a complete joke. Joking around how Marinette created a blog dedicated to making Lila look bad and found people that are just like her… all jealous of Lila or just making everything up on said blog to make her look bad as it is. Even if the memorial page is true, the kid had it coming for being an entitled, jealous, bully that has it out against Lila. The kid probably killed himself after not able to face the truth of it all.

Then… Alya said something that made everyone take a step back with sharp gasps of shock.

"THAT IS IT!"

The next thing anyone knew, Alya is on the ground with Sabrina beating her relentlessly.

"Damn…"

TBC.
