Hey guys! I was bored watching the super bowl so I figured I would give you guys some Fanfiction to read. So I know that the last chapter was a little sad. I do want to say though congrats to the person who guessed my plot, ChristiRose (I think that's your username… sorry if I got it wrong) I hope that this chapter is good enough for you however, I will warn you that the sadness isn't done… Now sit back, relax, and enjoy The Tigris final chapter!
"Marinette? Marinette?" yelled Chat as he searched for his lost girlfriend. He figured that she would be at the Eiffel Tower since that was where Perir wanted them to meet. Chat was hoping that Perir hadn't done anything to her. He didn't know what he'd do if he lost her. "Marinette where are you?" Chat cried. Then he saw her. She was sitting in the fatal position, with her arms around herself, crying. "Oh my lady…" he said picking her up and cradling her in his arms. "What has he done to you?" Marinette couldn't answer. She couldn't stop crying. When she finally could talk she spoke in short sentences and small words.
"Parents….. Perir…. Killed…." Blubbered Marinette.
"Princess I can't understand you…. What happened?" asked Chat. Marinette couldn't answer she just pointed to one of the pillars. Chat followed her finger and saw her parents lying next to each other. "Oh my God…." He said putting Marinette down. He walked over to her parents and bent down to check their pulse.
"Don't bother." Said Marinette. "They're dead…. Perir killed them." With that last word she started to sob again.
"Marinette please don't cry… When we beat Perir they won't be dead…. The restoration will well… restore them."
"Um, Chat-" started Tiki.
"Not now." Replied Chat.
"You're right Chat. They will come back!" Marinette said as she started to stand up. She walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "And we'll do it together."
"That's right. Now lets go kick Perirs butt." Said Chat. Marinette nodded and walked over to her parents, kissed their foreheads and transformed.
"Perir!" yelled Ladybug. "Come out here and fight!"
"Ahh Ladybug! Its about time you got here! Oh but where did Marinette go? Seems so weird that the moment she disappears you come…. It makes me wonder….."
"Wonder what, Perir?"
"If Marinette and Ladybug are one and the same?"
"That's for me to know and nobody to find out Perir."
"Yes but, what if there wasn't a Ladybug?" said Perir as he held out his hand to zap Ladybug.
"LADYBUG WATCH OUT!" said Chat before he pushed her out of the way. Instead of hitting Ladybug it hit Chat Noir. Thankfully the beam wasn't a lifetime beam. It was only for a couple of years. The costume went away and Adrien Agreste sat there on the ground with no powers, no costume, and no miraculous.
"Chat! Are you okay?"
"Yes M'lady I'm fine. Just fight this fight okay?" Ladybug nodded and continued to fight.
Meanwhile in Hawkmoths lair.
"ADRIEN?" Gabriel turned to Natalie. "Wasn't my son supposed to be at school? Wasn't the school supposed to be in Lockdown? WHATS GOING ON?"
"Sir, if Adrien is Chat Noir then he could have easily gotten out of the school."
"Never mind Natalie…" he said lifting his hand. It had a black ring on the ring finger. "I now have the miraculous of the black cat in my possession. All I need now is the earrings of the Ladybug!" Hawkmoth pulled up the portal to communicate to Perir. "Perir, take the earrings from Ladybug then get rid of her. We don't need her receiving any other miraculous do we?"
"No Hawkmoth." came the answer from Perir. Hawkmoth closed the portal and smiled evilly.
Meanwhile back at the Eiffel Tower.
Ladybug was exhausted. She had been fighting Perir for the past thirty minutes and no matter what she did Perir just wouldn't tire. She wondered if that was part of his power. She had already concluded where his akuma was, his watch, but she hadn't figured out how to capture his akuma. She had run out of ideas so she threw up her yoyo in the air and called upon his lucky charm. It brought down a cage that trapped Perir where he stood. Ladybug was a little confused. Usually her lucky charm didn't capture the akumatized victim for her. It just seemed to easy. She walked over to Perir and took his watch from him, dropped it on the ground and stomped on it. A purple butterfly came out of the watch. "No more evildoing for you little Akuma. Bye bye little butterfly." Ladybug watched as the little ladybug army started to restore everything. Adrien got his miraculous back and transformed into Chat Noir before anybody could notice, Perir turned back into Luka, the cage went away, and anybody who had been frozen by Perir became unfrozen.
"Chat can you take Luka home please?"
"Sure M'lady. I'll meet you back here in about 5 minutes." Chat gave Luka his hand and they left. Ladybug detransformed on the spot and walked over to where her parents lay. She bent down and waited for her parents to regain consciousness. After about two minutes without her parents waking up she checked Sabines pulse. Nothing, "No… Mamman….." she checked Toms pulse. Also nothing "No please! Wake up! The ladybugs where supposed to restore you! No.. please… Don't go…. I need you…." She sat there and waited for another second before all the grief hit her. "NO!" she screamed.
"M'lady? What's wrong?"
"Th-Th- The ladybugs… They didn't…." that was all Marinette had to say. Chat went over to her parents and checked their pulses. Then started doing CPR and mouth to mouth. "CHAT STOP….. It's no use….. they're gone….."
"Marinette….I'm sorry….."
"NO ADRIEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT ITS LIKE TO LOSE- oh… Adrien I'm sorry…. You do know… you know exactly what its like…. I'm sorry I said those things… I just…. I've never lost anybody close before…."
"It's ok Marinette. I've gotten over it. Let's get you home."
"No I don't want to go home. I need to go to Lukas house."
"What? Why Lukas house?"
"He needs to know what happened and that I'm ok."
"My lady, he knows what happened… Hawkmoth gave him the full picture in his head. He knows about your parents and he feels terrible."
"Exactly. That's why I need to go tell him I'm Ok and I forgive him. After all it wasn't his fault. Its Hawkmoths."
"Oh yes… Speaking about that…." Said Adrien. He told me something that might change something.
"What's that?"
"He told me that Hawkmoth revealed himself to him. He said that Hawkmoth is… Gabriel Agreste."
"Oh Adrien… I'm so sorry…."
"It's ok but if he's Hawkmoth then that means he knows I'm Chat Noir. I can't go back or he'll try to take my miraculous."
"You're right…. You can stay with me if you like. I have to run the bakery for a couple of months so that I can pay the rent and having an extra set of hands would be helpful."
"That'd be perfect." Replied Adrien. He kissed her. "Let's go talk to Luka."
Later at Lukas house.
*Knock Knock Knock*
"Marinette? What are you doing here? I'm so sorry about earlier…. I had no control…." Luka started to ramble.
"Listen Luka, its ok. I forgive you. It wasn't your fault. You were being controlled by Hawkmoth. You had no control over yourself."
"Is it true? Did I kill your parents?"
"Yes you did."
"Marinette…. I'm so sorry…"
"Luka… It's ok"
"No Marinette, it's not. I took away the two people you look up to most in life. It's my fault and I have to live with that. Thank you for forgiving me but I will just have to live with it. Now if you'll excuse me I have some important things to attend to. Legal matters an all."
"Of course. I understand. Goodbye Luka. I'll see you at school on Monday." Said Marinette before he shut the door.
"Well that went well." Said Adrien as he came around the corner.
"It went better than I thought it would. Now, let's go home. We've got to figure out some sleeping arrangements and such." Said Marinette with a smile. Adrien held out his arm to her and she slipped her arm into his. "We've got a lot of work to do." Adrien and Marinette locked eyes, smiled and walked home.
