Hello ,back again with alternative ending NUMBER 2! I want to give a shoutout to peacockandthebutterfly who suggested that I go back and fix up and improve the previous chapters. Also want to point out my WiFi has mysteriously died on me so updates on ALL stories will be slow for a bit. After this for all True Love fans, I will try update that. Any way on with the chapter, I've done enough talking.

#######

All the heroes burst into the room where they prayed to the heavens contained Hawkmoth himself. Thankfully their prayers were answered and he was indeed standing there.

Nathanaël quickly took out the guards that protected their master and the real battle begun.

Punches were being thrown left, right and centre and Nathanaël activated his power. He created a tranquilliser gun and desperately shot it in the villain's direction. Hawkmoth summoned Lucky Charm and created a shield that he protected himself with.

His only advantage, his miraculous didn't start beeping.

Peacock had taken a few blows to the face, he most likely had a broken nose. Well there goes his perfect model image.

Marinette had also taken quite a few blows resulting to being thrown across the room. There was a loud snap and Marinette let out a cry of pain. Her leg was horribly bent out of shape. But the blue-nette refused to give up, standing up on her good leg and hopping over to the fight.

Volphino continued shooting his gun, hoping that just one would hit the target. Well one hit something, just not Hawkmoth.

Marinette.

She dropped to the floor, the dart sticking out of her back. She continued breathing.

'She's just asleep.' Peacock reassured himself. But not for long.

Hawkmoth summoned Cataclysm and hovered above the sleeping girl. He had the sickest smile on his face as he hand moved closer and closer and closer and closer and closer.

And then Peacock snapped.

"Please, please don't hurt her!"

Hawkmoth paused for a moment, looking up at his feathered son. He was quite the sight. His blonde hair was messy and tatty with blood. His face and mask were a deep crimson colour but his eyes. Oh his eyes.

They were as green as ever. They were sad. They were pleading.

"Please." He said again.

Hawkmoth fully removed his hand and walked towards the bird hero. His icy blue eyes were cold, full of anger.

"What's in it for me?"

Adrien's eyes went wide. His father could create anything, what on this dark, shadowy world could his father want?!

"What on Earth do you want from me?!" He shouted. He felt tears in his eyes as he warily looked at the black particles surrounding Hawkmoth's hand.

"What I want is simple. I want you, Ladybug and your friends. Oh your miraculouses would be fantastic as well."

"And if we don't supply?" Alya quizzed.

"Well..." Hawkmoth started. He walked over to the unconscious Marinette and placed his foot on her head. "She dies."

Adrien struggled to breathe in that moment. Was it worth it? He panned his head, taking a moment to look at each of his friends.

Was it worth it?

Adrien made up his mind. "Guys, please don't fight back." Alya and Nino looked at the blonde, rather confused. All the rebels nearly fainted as Adrien removed his miraculous. Feathers shot out of it, tumbling into his weilder's hands. He then disappeared into a blue light that entered the miraculous.

Adrien handed it to his father who placed it in a pocket. Several skellies then rushed in and restrained the previous hero. Hawkmoth looked at the rest of the group, raising an eyebrow and gesturing to his destructive power.

Alya removed her comb, much to Nino's shock. But then Nathanaël copied removing his necklace. Nino sighed before slipping off his bracelet. All the kwamis disappeared in more flashes and Hawkmoth collected his prizes.

More skellies rushed in and dragged off the defeated teens and Adrien could only watch as Marinette's limp body was dragged out of the room after him.

Marinette woke up in a cell, only this time she wasn't alone. She was chained to a wall, but on other walls she saw that Nino, Alya and Nathanaël were with her. They were watching her, obviously awake for a lot longer than she had.

"You ok Mari?" Alya asked, worry present in her question.

Marinette nodded, wiggling her fingers about a bit. She moved her legs a bit and took in a sharp intake of breath. "I think I've broke my leg though."

Nino lifted a small rock that sat beside him and tossed it at the wall facing him, barely missing Nathanaël and causing the shackles around his wrists to make noise.

"Is someone in there?" A voice called out. Nathanaël jumped at the sound before looking around a bit.

"Yeah we are in here!" The red head answered.

"Nathan is that you?" The voice called out again.

"Yeah... who is this?" Nathanaël questioned.

"It's me guys! Sean! Mylène and Ivan are in her with me!" Sean replied.

"Oh my God Sean you're ok!" Alya half shouted.

"Yeah Al. We are all good."

Marinette looked over at Nino and asked. "Who the hell is Sean?"

Nino laughed before saying. "Last time I checked, he was Adrien's personal servant."

Sean laughed dryly. "Thanks Nino."

Marinette shifted about a bit, being careful to not move her injured leg too much. She looked around a bit before calling out. "Does anyone know where Adrien was taken?"

Nino looked around trying to avoid the conversation but sadly, there wasn't much places to go. "When Hawkmoth threatened to kill you, Adrien surrendered. We were dragged into here with you, but Adrien was taken somewhere upstairs. Haven't seen him since."

Alya nodded, agreeing with Nino. "And we still don't know what Hawkmoth plans to do with us."

Well Alya's statement was answered as there was a lord bang and Sean, Ivan and Mylene started screaming and struggling. A few moments later a few skellies threw open the door to Marinette's cell and grabbed all of it's contents as well.

They were dragged through multiple corridors and eventually Marinette started to recognise the path they were taking.

"Alya." She whispered. "It was amazing knowing you and I want you to know I could never have asked for a better best friend."

Alya raised an eyebrow but it wasn't long before her reporter instincts kicked in and she finally understood.

"Same Mari." She then turned to Nino and whispered something. Nino nodded and whispered something back.

Nathanaël whispered to Marinette, "I regret it now but I never had the chance to tell you how much I cared about you Marinette. Ever since you became class president I've looked up to you. I might have let it slip while I was akumatized but I never properly told you."

Marinette felt a few tears welling up in the corner of her eyes. "I really liked you as well Nathan. You're an amazing drawer, in fact I remember I once tried to copy your drawings but I failed... miserably. But it was then I found my love for designing. So thank you for indirectly helping me find my passion."

Nathanaël gave a slight smile and before he was able to say anything more a skelly slapped him.

When they entered the courtyard the first thing Marinette seen was Adrien.

He was tied to a pole and blindfolded but that isn't what worried the blue-nette. It was the multiple bruises and marks that covered his body. They were up his arms and on the visible part of his face. It worried Marinette.

A skeleton dragged her off in another direction before she had time to study him more. They were made stand on a long rectangular platform where their hands were tied behind their backs. Hawkmoth stood in the centre of the platform and once the teenagers were fully bound he clicked his fingers. Multiple wooden structures appeared with little dips for necks to fit in.

There was a structure for everyone. And Marinette knew very well what they were for.

The teens head's were placed in the dips and bags were placed over their heads. Adrien's blindfold was removed and his screams were unleashed. Finally the axes came down and hit the neck of all of Adrien's friends.

Marinette woke up with a start, screaming and yelling in fright. She looked around frantically but realized Hawkmoth was no where to be seen. In fact she wasn't even in a cell. She was in an all to familiar nurse's office with an all to familiar blonde beside her with a panicked expression on his face.

Adrien.

"W-What happened?" she asked, being careful to not stutter as much as she usually does.

"You were walking into class and you fainted all of a sudden so I brought you to the nurse. She uh- wasn't here so I treated you."

It took all of Marinette's will not to faint again. She was very aware of how she fainted, that's for sure. The akuma from the night before showed no mercy and ran into the early hours of the morning. She got zero sleep and she was positive that Chat-

Chat.

Marinette slowly started to remember her dream. Her cell, Hawkmoth, the battle, the exaction, Adrien.

ADRIEN.

Marinette looked up finally, straing into the green eyes of Adrien.

She only ever did this with 2 green eyed males.

When she was discussing battle strategies with Chat she would often look into his eyes.

And when she stared all goo-goo eyed at the pictures of Adrien.

Only she didn't do it with 2 males.

She did it with 1.

Adrien was Chat Noir and Chat Noir was Adrien.

Obviously it was a dream, it was more than likely wrong, but it just felt so, so real. Well there was only one way to find out for sure.

"Chat?"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA cliff hangers that I will never come back to! I am aware that this is 100% a dream cliché but it was gonna pop up, we all knew it. Plus leaving it the way it was seemed wrong, I couldn't simply murder all the characters we have grown to love. IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE! So sorry dream cliché it is. At least the other endings [ yes there are more] will not end with 'IT WAS A DREAM!' so we good.

Please review F/F thank you!
