Chapter 2 - Stoneheart

After 12 years of living in Paris, Astrid got used to the outside world but she still never forgot her parents and Viking life. Hence, every night when everyone's asleep she sneaks out and heads outside of Paris and goes to the woods. She creates an axe and starts training by throwing them at the tress thinking they were Flightmare and the outcasts after 4 hours of training Marinette walked through the woods until she found a stream so she stripped her clothes off and swam in the stream naked washing away the sweat from her body.

After 30 minutes of swimming in the stream, Marinette got out and used her fire powers to dry herself off he put her clothes on and she walked back home and she climbed back up to her balcony and hopped inside and she changed into her jammies and she hopped into bed and fell asleep.

The next morning Marinette woke up and went downstairs and had breakfast with her foster mom, after breakfast, she went back up and packed her umbrella just in case it rains and she put on her clothes.

Marinette was wearing a red crop top, a white crop hoodie, and black leather pants with black combat boots she got her bag and gave Sabine a kiss on the cheek and she went down to the bakery and saw Tom dealing with customers.

"Goodbye, father I'll see you at lunch." Marinette waved at Tom she exited and she saw Wang Fu walking across the street so she rushed over to him and saved him from getting hit by a car

"Master, please be careful while crossing the road." Marinette said then she went across the street to school and entered her classroom and sat at the back like she does all the time.

"Marinette can you sit next to the new girl this year?" Bustier said pointing to Alya who was sitting at the front

Marinette picked up her bag and walked over to the front, she saw Chloe sticking her leg out

"Really Chloe that old trick trip on the leg, I have years of gymnastic training, and who are you waiting for?" Marinette asked

"My best friend Adrien Agreste will be coming to school this year." Chloe said

"Who wants to be friends with you and I'm not going to be his friend either?" Marinette said sitting next to Alya

"Hi, I'm Marinette and you are?" Marinette asked sticking her hand out for a shake

"I'm Alya." Alya said shaking Marinette's hand

"Where is he?" Chloe asked

30 minutes later Ivan got akumatized and everyone went home

When Marinette made it home she went to her bedroom and turned on the news and saw Stoneheart rampaging through Paris and she saw a box with the Guardian symbol

Marinette opened it up and a bright pink light appeared Tikki manifested out of the light

"Hello, Marinette I have been waiting to be your holder since I sense your power all those years ago." Tikki said

"You have, I've been training to wield the Miraculous and use their weapons all those years ago I found Master Fu." Marinette said

"Marinette that is an akuma, whoever is wielding the butterfly Miraculous is using it for evil and I need you to capture the akuma and try to get it back." Tikki said

"I have been training for this so let's do it." Marinette said

"To transform say Spots On." Tikki said

"Spots on." Marinette said and she transformed into ladybug

Ladybug's uniform is heavily inspired by the Vikings but she changed it so no one would recognize her.

Ladybug uniform

Black and Red open-shoulder corset that wings at the back, Red fingerless gloves that go to her elbows, black skirt. Red open-toed heeled boots that go to her knees, a Red and Black domino mask, Red and Black nail polish on her nails that are long, and two yo-yos on her hips.

Ladybug looked in the mirror and she was proud of what she is wearing

"I like this so much." Ladybug said then she went to her balcony and she grappled the gargoyle on the Notre dame and it whisked her across, she landed on the gargoyle and she looked around to where her partner could be and she saw something shiny so she went over there and saw her partner.

"Hello, you must be my new partner, I'm Ladybug and you are?" Ladybug asked

"I'm Chat Noir." Chat said

"Then what are we waiting for we got a villain to defeat." Ladybug said grappling away

Ladybug landed on top of the stadium and she jumped on top of Stoneheart, he started to rampage through the stadium and he went to Paris and started to rampage through.

"Calm down would you I'm trying to stop you!" Ladybug shouted

The news copter was following the action

"This is amazing a superhero is trying to stop this supervillain who is rampaging through Paris and she's trying to save civilians from being killed by the rampaging supervillain but will she stop him or will there be a casualty in this rampage?!" Clara said excitedly

"Out of the way I'm trying to slow him down!" Ladybug shouted using her hand to make them move out of the way

Ladybug saw a pram in the way and she heard a baby crying so she quickly got off Stoneheart and she scooped up the baby and she gave the baby to a random stranger and was whisked away since she was holding onto her yo-yo that was still around Stoneheart

"My baby." the mother said running over

"Thank ma'am for saving my baby." the mother said

"No problem ma'am I'm lucky I was near." Lila said

"Yeah, Ladybug probably didn't have enough time to get the baby since how fast Stoneheart was running." The mother said

"For fuck sakes slow down." Ladybug growled

"(Where is that useless cat?)" Ladybug thought

Chat Noir was following the distraction and he saw ladybug and Stoneheart smashing through buildings and Ladybug holding on.

"Give me your akumatized object and de-akumatize in peace, we don't want to cause any death do we?" Ladybug asked

Stoneheart grabbed Ladybug's foot and put her face in the wall so every time he runs Ladybug's face and body would hit the buildings and she would get injuries from that.

Ladybug used her other yo-yo and threw it around Stonehearts neck she pulled to make him choke and it did choke him but he threw her into the wall making the yo-yo that was around his neck to loosen and he grabbed it and he pulled Ladybug in and he punched Ladybug in the face breaking her nose and making blood run down from her nose.

"You bitch you broke my nose." Ladybug said giving him a glare

Stoneheart picked up Ladybug and threw her across Paris and she crashed in front of the school.

Ladybug's suit is damaged from all of Stoneheart's relentless attacks and she had injuries that were bleeding so Ladybug spat out blood, she went back to where Stoneheart was, and when she made it there Stoneheart wasn't there only Ivan.

With Hawk Moth

"That was a very good introduction to the heroes and it seems like Ladybug is a fighter and a thinker while Chat Noir just goofed around." Hawk Moth said

With Ladybug

"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug shouted and a swimsuit appeared.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug shouted and the cure went all around Paris repairing every damage it slightly healed Ladybug but she'll have scars on her body after this but it did;t repair her suit.

Ladybug grappled to her penthouse and she de-transformed back to Marinette and her clothes fell apart.

"I forgot my clothes would get damaged as well if my suit gets damaged, that was a good fight I hope there is more in the future." Marinette said getting out the same clothes she had on before and leaving her company Stardust she walked to school where she saw everyone walking in.

"Marinette you missed it, there was an awesome fight, it started in the stadium and it went all over Paris check this out there are two blogs that filmed Ladybug in action." Alya said

"And what are these two blogs?" Marinette asked confused

"There's my one the Ladyblog and there's the other one the Miraculous blog this one caught the whole fight in HD and it's been shown on TV as the best footage ever." Alya said showing Marinette the Miraculous blog footage

Marinette watched the footage and saw some things she needs to improve on and she saw how many injuries she got from that fight.

"(I need to improve before I can stop whoever is abusing Noroo and before I go back to the Vikings.)" Marinette thought

"This is Grace for the Miraculous Blog and no I'm not the one who films these fights we have special equipment for that and a crew all around Paris who are walking around ready for action but enough of that it's time for battle statics of Stoneheart vs Ladybug fight. You see here (A res circle appeared around Ladybug's legs) that was Ladybug's first mistake putting her feet on Stoneheart's chest and that made him grab her and use her as a battling ram through the buildings and here is a safe Ladybug did which was 5.5 seconds fast, Ladybug saved the baby that was almost crushed by Stoneheart, and where was the other hero while Ladybug was getting smashed, being interviewed by our competitor Ladyblog and he just stood there getting interviewed while Ladybug was doing the heavy lifting. This breaking news it seems like we got multiple Stonebeings popping up all around Paris and the Akuma police are onto the scene they investigating it right now we know what happened after Stoneheart threw Ladybug away someone called the butterfly and it flew away and after It was gone Ladybug appeared and she looked confused where Stoneheart has disappeared to and she cast her cure on Paris repairing everything. This was Grace with Battle Statics there will be more battles in the future so stay safe and bug out Ladybug would say. Grace said and the video ended Marinette saw a lot of comments saying is Ladybug going to be alright the others were saying how useless the other hero but every comment for Ladybug was positive and for Chat Noir was negative.

"(That serves him right for slacking off.)" Marinette thought and they walked into school and they saw a crowd around Ivan

"You know Alya with that crowd that's around Ivan asking a lot of questions he'll be turned back into Stoneheart again." Marinette said to Alya

"Don't worry girl he won't." Alya said

With the crowd

"That's totally awesome!" Juleka said

"You were out to crush me dude." Kim said

"You don't really remember anything." Alix said

"I'm sorry I don't know what happened." Ivan said

"Once a monster, always a monster." Chloe said and Ivan stood up mad and he walked into the locker room

"Is that why you wear make-up so it hides your monster face from the world?" Marinette roasted Chloe and walked to the locker room and everyone laughed at the comment Marinette made

"That's it Marinette I want to fight you right here right now." Chloe shouted and everyone stopped what they were doing, the students who were on the first floor went to the railings and they started to shout fight aver and over.

"You don't want to do that Chloe I have been trained in martial arts so in this fight you will lose." Marinette said walking over to Chloe.

"I won't be the one losing." Chloe said getting into Marinette's face

"Really let's see who's the Queen Bee of this school." Marinette said

Max walked into the middle of the school court

"This fight will determine who will be the school queen bee and the loser will have their reputation ruined! So are you ready to fight?" Max shouted

"I was born ready." Marinette said cracking her knuckles.

"I won't be losing to you bitch." Chloe said cracking her neck

"Okay round 1 fight!" Max shouted and he quickly left the arena

Marinette and Chloe ran to each other and Chloe had her fist raised but Marinette slide on her knees pads that are in the pants stitching she got back up and she got into a fighting stance

"Is that all you got slut I'll show you." Marinette said doing flips and a back flip kick at the back of Chloe's head and Chloe stumbled forward.

Meanwhile with Alya

Alya put her hand on Ivan's shoulder and he removed his headphones

"I know I'm the new student here but I know when someone is in love and you love Mylene don't you?" Alya asked

"Yeah, I do but Chloe and Sabrina always make fun of us people and Marinette always defends us quite a lot." Ivan said sadly

"That's why Chloe challenged Marinette to fight for the Queen Bee title of this school." Alya said

"I hope Marinette wins." Ivan said happily 

"So you want help declaring love to Mylene well there are a couple of options you can write her a poem, give her a gift, or..." Alya said

"Or I can write her a song." Ivan said

"Yeah, which girl doesn't want a song written about them, oh and stay positive Ivan." Alya said

Ivan ran off happily to write a song for his sweetheart.

Alya walked out and saw Chloe bleeding and puffing heavily and Marinette totally fine

"Ready to give up!" Marinette shouted

"Never!" Chloe said running to Marinette, Marinette just stepped to the side, and Chloe fell down onto the ground defeated.

"And Marinette wins she is the new Queen Bee." Max said raising Marinette's hand

Sabrina ran over to Chloe to help her up

"Challenge her Sabrina right now." Chloe Whispered in Sabrina's ear

"I challenge Marinette to be Queen Bee!" Sabrina shouted she walked over to Marinette

"Really you challenge me your nothing but a mat to be walked on by Chloe." Marinette said

Sabring threw a punch to Marinette but Marinette caught, she squeezed it slightly hard and Sabrina went down onto her knees crying out in pain

"You're a big baby I wasn't squeezing that hard." Marinette said letting Sabrina's hand go

Adrien walked into the school grounds and saw people in a circle he saw his best friend on the ground bleeding so he ran in to see if Chloe was alright

"Who wants to go to the bakery and get treats?!" Marinette shouted

Everyone looked at each other.

"They will be on the house because I will be paying." Marinette said

Everyone cheered and they carried Marinette to her house where they put her down and they walked in

"Mother and Father can you bake anything these guys want, I'll be paying for them so these guys will be getting it free." Marinette said

"What happened Chloe?" Adrien asked

"That bitch Marinette started to beat me up and everyone cheered her on." Chloe said

"I'm telling the principal this." Adrien said going to the principal's office

"Sir I would like to report bullying." Adrien said knocking on Mr Damocles office door

"Come in." Mr Damocles said

"Sir, Chloe was bullied by Marinette today." Adrien said

"She wasn't bullied they were fighting about who would be the Queen Bee of this school and she lost so Marinette is now the Queen Bee of this school." Mr. Damocles said

"So if I challenge Marinette for the role and win I can become the Queen Bee of this school." Adrien said

"Yeah, that's the rule." Mr. Damocles said

Adrien walked out of the office and saw Marinette walking back into school with the other students who were enjoying the baked goods they got from the bakery so Adrien shouted from the balcony.

"Marinette I challenge you to be the Queen Bee of this school!" Adrien shouted

"Who is he?" Marinette asked

"He's Adrien Agreste and his Dad is Gabriel Agreste and he's the famous fashion designer for the Agreste brand." Student told Marinette

"Isn't the Agreste brand sales dropped since Stardust come onto the scene all those years ago and became popular?" Marinette asked

"Yeah, it has." Student said

"Do you really want to fight me Agreste you don't want your face ruined and make your Father angry do you?" Marinette asked

"Tch, you won't be landing a hit on me." Adrien said walking down the stairs.

"We'll see." Marinette said

Marinette and Adrien walked into the middle of the court and Marinette saw something shiny on his finger.

"Max are there any rules about jewelry being used in the fight?" Marinette asked

Max got out the Queen Bee fight rule book and saw it doesn't say it.

"No, it's not written in the book." Max said

"Okay then." Marinette said getting out her knuckle duster and putting them on her fists.

"That's illegal." Adrien said

It's not in the rule book. Max said

Ready fight! Max shouted

Marinette walked towards Adrien slowly and menacing

"You should've not challenged me Adrien now I'll have to ruin your face and possibly your fashion career, weren't you home-schooled?" Marinette asked

"Yes, I was home-schooled." Adrien said

"How would your father feel if you came home today with a smashed-up face?" Marinette asked

"He would be angry and he wouldn't let me go to school anymore." Adrien said

"Then why are you fighting if you know what the consequences are?" Marinette asked

"Because they won't be on my face." Adrien said rushing forward with a fist up that had the Cat Miraculous on it and he tried to punch Marinette but she dodge it

"(So Adrien is Chat Noir the useless hero good to know.)" Marinette thought

"Stop dodging and take my punches." Adrien said throwing more punches at Marinette

Marinette back flipped back and started to use her Martial arts training.

"I had 5 years of Martial arts training and I'll be using them." Marinette said

Marinette was doing flips toward Adrien and she did a karate kick into Adrien's stomach it sent him flying and he crashed into the floor and groaned in pain.

"And he is down so are we done and can we learn now?" Marinette asked

"Not yet I'm not done yet." Adrien said getting back up and holding his stomach

With Ivan

Ivan was thinking of good lyrics to write for Ivan and he knows Mylene will be watching the fight and it will be a wee while before she'll be coming.

Back outside

Adrien was fully standing and he charged at Marinette who dodged every punch.

"Come on Adrien think about your father do you want his company to fail to know his son asked to fight someone and got his money maker ruined?" Marinette said

"Like I said it's not me who will have a bloody face." Adrien said

"Okay, I warned you." Marinette said putting her fist up with the knuckle dusters up and she punched Adrien in the face really hard knocking him out.

"I warned you and you didn't listen, come on everyone we got classes to do." Marinette said taking off her knuckle dusters and putting them into her purse and she walked to class and people who had their phones out and they posted the video of the whole fight on You Tube.

With Ivan

Ivan finished his song and he went looking for Mylene and he saw Marinette so he asked her

"Marinette have you seen Mylene?" Ivan asked

"Did you check the toilets I saw her heading that way and good luck confessing your love, I see how you look at her you love her very much don't you?" Marinette asked

"Yeah, I do, and thanks Marinette." Ivan said running to the locker room

Marinette walked in and sat next to Alya and they started to learn from Miss Bustier

Chloe and Sabrina carried Adrien to the nurse's office and they knocked on her door and the nurse let them in

Put him on the bed over there and you stay here so I can heal your face and you go to class. School nurse said

"But she broke my hand." Sabrina said

"I watched the fight she barely squeezed you so go to class your fine." School nurse said

Sabrina walked to class and sat in her spot in the middle row

The school nurse healed Chloe's injuries and Adrien's and after she did Adrien woke up.

"What happened did I win?" Adrien asked

"No, you lost and Marinette did warn you no to fight her, how are you going to explain what happened to your father because the whole school filmed the fights and it will show Marinette didn't want to hurt while you attacked her while she was dodging every punch you threw." School nurse said

Chloe walked back to class with a black eye and plaster on her nose and she sat next to Sabrina

In the Locker room

Ivan stood outside the girl's toilet and waited for Mylene to come out and when she did he started to sing the song he made for Mylene terribly, Mylene ran out of the room covering her ears and Ivan threw his phone on the ground and stood on it and sat down angrily.

 In Hawk Moth's lair

"This strong emotion has returned." Hawk Moth said turning a white butterfly into an akuma and it flew off

"Fly away my little akuma and evilize his broken heart." Hawk Moth said

Back at school

The akuma flatted into Ivan's paper and the purple mask appeared on Ivan's face.

"Stoneheart I'm giving you second chance don't fuck it up and you'll have back-up this time." Hawk Moth said

"Yes Hawk Moth. Ivan said agreeing to the deal

Ivan transformed into Stoneheart and exited the locker room he headed to Miss Buster's class

Miss Bustier was doing roll call and when she got to Ivan's name Stoneheart entered, he grabbed Mylene and Chloe he kicked down the wall and jumped down.

"Come on Marinette, we're going after him." Alya said grabbing Marinette's hand and dragging her out the door.

Marinette and Alya made it to where Stoneheart and the Stonebeings were and they were marching to the Eiffel tower and Chat Noir arrived and one of the Stonebeings hit a car towards Marinette and Alya, Chat threw his stick toward the car and it stopped the car put it trapped the two girls against the wall and one of the stone beings trapped Chat and they walked away around the corner leaving the two girls alone.

"Marinette we need to get Ladybug's attention but how?" Alya asked

"Maybe if you knew her identity." Marinette said

"But we don't know who she is." Alya said

"What if I said you're looking at her?" Marinette said

"Your her." Alya said

"Yeah and if you don't tell anyone you can help me as Ladybug." Marinette said

"Does that mean I get to interview you all the time." Alya said

"Not all the time I don't want anyone to be suspicious." Marinette said

"Okay are you going to transform or are you going to wait." Alya said

Marinette transformed into Ladybug and she used her legs to move the car away from the wall.

"Good luck Ladybug." Alya said

"See you later, Alya." Ladybug said as she grappled to the nearest building and it whisked her away.

Alya walked to Marinette's bakery and sat down at the table outside the bakery waiting for Marinette to finish, 30 minutes later the Miraculous cure was cast and went all over Paris and Ladybug landed in an alleyway next to the bakery and she de-transformed into Marinette and she walked out and saw Alya sitting at the bakery.

"Alya ready to go back to school." Marinette said

"Yeah, but after school, we still talking about this." Alya said

Marinette and Alya walked to school and they entered Miss Bustier's office Marinette was about to sit at the front but Alya dragged her to the back.

 "Why are we sitting here?" Marinette asked

"We going to talk about that thing." Alya whispered

Alya and Marinette talked quietly about Marinette's superhero persona and when the day was done Alya went home while Marinette stood outside and saw it was raining so she took out her umbrella and she was about to walk home but Adrien stopped her

"Marinette I would like to talk to you." Adrien said

"I see your face healed." Marinette said

"Yeah, it did thanks to the Ladybug cure." Adrien said

"So what did you want to talk about?" Marinette asked

"I want to say I'm sorry." Adrien said

"For what?" Marinette asked confused

"About Chloe's behavior and challenging you to fight." Adrien said

"I told you it would ruin your face if you fight me and I was right," Marinette said

"It seems like it is raining." Adrien said

"You can have my umbrella if you want; I live nearby anyway." Marinette said, giving Adrien her red and black umbrella. Adrien took it when lightning struck the umbrella Adrien was holding closed on him, and Marinette gave off a little giggle.

Adrien opened the umbrella and blushed at Marinette's sweet smile, and Marinette started to walk down the stairs, but she stopped and said

"See you later, Adrien." Marinette said softly, and she walked to her home

Adrien stuttered out goodbye and grabbed his bag, and went to his car.
