Marinette who was in her pink fencing gear was putting her bag in her locker room and Tikki came out from her uniform pocket and floated in front her

"Marinette you have been training hard for the past 7 years I hope you get in." Tikki said

"Thanks, Tikki and can you go in my locker I have packed cookies in my purse for you to eat so you don't get hungry." Marinette said patting Tikki on her head and she went into the locker and Marinette closed the locker door and she put her mask down and walked into the training area and she stood on a mat in front of another fencer and they started to fence and after 10 minutes, Marinette won every match against the other fencer and the other lifted up its mask and it was Adrien

"Good job, whoever you are." Adrien said and Marinette lifted her mask up and Adrien blushed

"Thanks Adrien, I have been training for 7 years." Marinette said then a red figure came inside

"Who is the best fencer?" Strange person in red said and Marinette and Adrien looked at each other

"He/She is!" Adrien and Marinette shouted pointing at each other

"You two should fence to see who is the best fencer." Fencing student said

Marinette and Adrien walked up to the front and connected themselves to the machine and they started to fence and after 15 minutes Adrien won

"Good game Adrien." Marinette said and she went over to where the rest of the fencing class are standing and the red figure came over and connected to the machine and they were evenly matched so they both deicides to do it old school and they fenced all the way to the library where they both touched each other and they saw Marinette standing there

"Who touched first?" Strange figure said and Marinette started to stammer then Mr. D'Argencourt's also asked.

"It was Adrien he touched first." Marinette said then Adrien lifted his mask up

"Are you sure Marinette?" Adrien asked

"I don't know it happened so fast." Marinette said and the strange figure walked out after giving Adrien a handshake

"I'm pretty sure he touched first." Adrien said

"Referees has the last word." Mr. D'Argencourt said then Adrien ran after the strange figure and he picked up the saber that was stabbed in the ground and when he made it to figure and it took off its helmet and the figure was a female and Adrien was gob smacked by her beauty

"Let's do decisive match." Adrien said then he saw her ring.

Marinette walked into the locker room and she changed her clothes and after she was done charging, she picked up her bags and walked out of the locker room and she headed home and she saw Adrien and Kagami and she smiled at our cute they would be and she them leaving but Adrien was following the girl and she saw an akuma

"(Oh, fuck that's an akuma I better catch it before it akumatize's someone.)" Marinette thought then she ran into an alley-way and she put her bags down and transformed and she went onto the roof and threw her bags on her balcony and she went towards where the akuma is and she saw Adrien on the ground and the akumatized stalking towards him so she threw her yo-yo and it wrapped around the sword but the yo-yo slipped

"Fuck, its apart of her hand." Ladybug said then she turned her yo-yo into a sword and started to fight against Riposte.

"Adrien please hide while I defeat this akumatized person." Ladybug said blocking an attack from Riposte and Adrien hid but he saw the fight and he can see Ladybug was struggling and he saw she fall to her knees as Riposte put more strength onto the sword so Ladybug did the only thing, she could do was punch Riposte in the gut and kick her away to get her strength back then she attacked back but Riposte went on the defensive and she blocked every of Ladybugs attack until she an opening in Ladybug's defensive and she strikes and she made a cut on Ladybugs front from her shoulder to her hip making the front of her suit hang off showing off her breasts her tattoos and her piercings that she keeps hidden as Marinette when she wears long clothes so Ladybug took it off and wrapped it around her breasts as a makeshift bra and she picked up Adrien who hurt his ankle

"Come on let me take you somewhere safe." Ladybug said carrying Adrien to the louvre

"Ladybug are you going to be alright?" Adrien asked

"Don't worry Adrien, all I have to say to replace my shirt is, "Tikki new shirt"." Ladybug said and pink glow appeared around her body and a new shirt appeared

"Wow where did you learn that from?" Adrien asked

"From the Guardian of the Miraculous." Ladybug said and then they arrived to the louvre and told everyone to evacuate due to an akuma and people started to evacuate

"Where to hid you? Where?" Ladybug asked then she saw the sarcophagus and she put him in there

"Umm Ladybug I'm claustrophobia since I been locked in my house for my whole life." Adrien said

"Don't worry this won't take long." Ladybug said closing the lid and she picked up her sword that she stabbed in the ground and she ran outside and waited for Riposte who arrived and cut the top off and she landed in front of Ladybug who was waiting and holding her sword on her side

"Where the fuck did you hide Adrien?" Riposte said

"Why should I tell you that akumatized scum." Ladybug said then she lunged at Riposte who blocked it then Ladybug did high lunge and Riposte blocked then Riposte kicked Ladybug hard which sent her through the glass scratching her back up and down into the museum and she slid on her back leaving a blood trail until she crashed into the wall and Riposte jumped in the and she dropped down with her sword aimed down and Ladybug rolled out of the way just in time as Riposte stabbed the ground where Ladybug use to be

Ladybug got back up off the floor and Riposte charged at Ladybug and they started through the museum and Riposte kicked Ladybug against the wall and Ladybug dodged as Riposte stabbed the painting behind her

"Where are you Chat Noir?" Ladybug asked

"I'm right here Mlady sorry I couldn't come any faster but my ankle hurts." Chat said

"It's alright Chat I have been holding my on against Riposte." Ladybug said

"Really because your armbands are all tatted and almost felling off." Chat said and Ladybug saw her armbands are all tatted and she has a lot of cuts on her arms

"Riposte must have got me on my arms when my defensives were down." Ladybug said

'I should be your shield where I get hit instead of you." Chat said

"But you don't, you always act like a cat when you look in a mirror and the akuma take the advantage of you not around and attack me and I get injured quite a lot." Ladybug said

"Maybe it's time to use your Lucky Charm to defeat her?" Chat asked

"Not yet it's too soon." Ladybug said then Riposte kicked Ladybug towards the exit but skidded right before she could stand up from her crouch Riposte attacked and sent her flying into the railing which she smashed through then she crashed on the ground and her sword landed right near her head almost taking her ear off and Riposte walked out and stabbed the alarm which sent the gate down locking Chat in and Riposte dropped down to Ladybug who was standing back up and getting her sword and Riposte charged at her and then she did a powerful attack which sent Ladybug flying in the same exhibit she put Adrien and her sword falls out of her reach buy being stabbed in the wall behind her and she slide on her back

"(How can I get defeated, I'm Astrid Hofferson I have been training since I promised to kill the flightmare when I was 4 and I have been training using every weapon since I can walk.)" Ladybug thought and she looked back at where her sword landed and it was right next to where she hid Adrien and Riposte saw where she was looking.

"Of course, he has nowhere to escape." Riposte said the she sliced the sarcophagus and it was empty

"What where is he?" Riposte asked then Chat Noir arrived

"Who?" Chat asked

"She's looking for Adrien Agreste and it's time to use my Lucky Charm since I can't break her through her defensives and she has broken through mine quite a lot." Ladybug said then she used her power and she got a radiator

"A radiator huh, so what do I use this for?" Ladybug asked as she figured out how to use her Lucky Charm then her thinking powers activated and she saw Chat's tail, her Lucky Charm and Riposte's sword

"Chat your belt, I need it." Ladybug said

"Here you go Ladybug." Chat said throwing his belt towards Ladybug

"Chat I want you to hold on to this so you can trap her sword then we'll break it together." Ladybug said and Chat nodded at the plan

Riposte came charging at Chat to stab him but her sword got caught in the radiator and Ladybug jumped over Chat and use Chat's belt to break the sword and when they did the akuma came flying out and Ladybug caught it with her yo-yo and she cleansed it and she threw her Lucky Charm in the air and it repaired every damage done by Riposte and Riposte de-akumatized back into Kagami and Ladybug opened up her yo-yo and took out Kagami's fencing sword

"Ladybug how did you get her fencing sword?" Chat asked

"Well Chat while I was fighting Riposte and trying to defend Adrien, he passed her sword over then he hid when I told him to and I put the sword into my yo-yo before I switched to my sword but I had to be quick about it since Riposte was attacking." Ladybug said then his Miraculous beeped

"You better hide and de-transform we have finished today." Ladybug said and Chat nodded and he ran off

"You're from Japan right." Ladybug said

"Yeah, I'm from Japan, why?" Kagami asked

"You are the daughter of the famous fencing world number one Tomoe Tsurugi who became blind from a rare eye disease." Ladybug said and Kagami nodded and she stood up and she walked out just as Adrien arrived

"Adrien, can you give this to Kagami while I de-transform." Ladybug said handing Adrien the fencing sword and she ran to the toilets and took opened up her yo-yo and took out fresh clothes and she de-transform and the clothes she was wearing was shredded and had blood on it so she took them off and she put on her fresh clothes and with her fire power she turned her rags into ashes and she put them in the toilet and she flushed them down.

Marinette walked out of the louvre and saw Kagami and Adrien were still there so she walked over

"Kagami one of these days we should get a cold glass of juice and took about stuff." Marinette said

"I would like that Marinette and you are an excellent fencer." Kagami said

"I have been training for seven years so of course I'm an excellent fencer." Marinette said there Kagami and Adrien's cars arrived and Kagami got into her car and they said bye to her and she drove off then Adrien went into his car and as he was about to enter, he looked back to Marinette

"Marinette I can take you back home to the bakery if you want?" Adrien asked

"I would like that sure." Marinette said and she got into the car and Steve the Gorilla drove her to her home and when they arrived Marinette got out and said bye to Adrien and walked in and she headed to her bedroom and to her balcony where her bags were still there and she brought them down and unpacked them.

In the Viking Barrier, Isle of Berk

Hiccup "useless" Haddock was walking to the forge and he was keeping an eye out for his cousin Snotlout and his friends Ruffnut and Tuffnut since his Best Friend Fishlegs told him what's going to happen to him though the back door so no one would see Fishlegs giving Hiccup information

Hiccup was close to the forge but the three people he didn't want to see came out from hiding surrounded Hiccup

"Hello useless, where are you going?" Snotlout asked

"I'm going to my work at the forge." Hiccup said quietly

"Oh, is that so then let's give you our daily beating." Snotlout said and Tuffnut and Ruffnut both held Hiccup's arms as Snotlout punched Hiccup in his stomach and the other Vikings didn't care what happened since Hiccup's a runt.

Inside the Great Hall

"I'm telling you my daughter will return home soon in couple of years." Helga said

"Hilda no one can survive going through that barrier it's death when they do, only Johann can since he has something that helps him get through." Gobber said

"Do you guys not believe Gothi then." Helga said and they got scared not wanting to anger the old women with the cane

"No, we believe you Helga." Fartnut (Tuffnut and Ruffnut's father) said

"That's good, now if you excuse me, I'm heading home." Helga said walking home

"Do you really believe her daughter could survive the barrier?" Spitelout asked

"I believe it because I saw Gothi write it in the sand." Gobber said

"Gothi hasn't gotten things wrong, maybe she could be right about this as well." Stoick said

"Let's hope so Stoick." Spitelout said

Back in Paris

Marinette finished her dinner with her parents and she went to her bedroom and she put on a skull t-shirt, pink shirt dress and blue sneakers and she waited until it got dark and she went to her balcony and climbed down where she used her creation magic to create an axe and she walked to the forest and she threw her axe in the trees where she took it off then she rolled and threw it at another three she did this for four hours rolling around and throwing at the trees and when she finished she walked to the stream where she saw she was quite muddy so she took off her clothes and shoes and she swim in the stream where she saw every scar she got from every akuma fight

"It's only fun if you get a scar out of it and these akuma fights have awaked my inner Viking and when I head home after I defeated Hawk Moth, I'm going to hug my mother tightly." Marinette said then she saw her blue hair dye was being washed off and her natural blond hair started to show

"I can't believe I have to lock away my tough persona in my civilian form while as Ladybug my tough persona comes out." Marinette said

After Marinette was done washing herself, she used her fire magic to dry herself off and she out her clothes back on and she headed back home where she made her axe disappear and she changed out of her dirty clothes and she put on her PJ's and she went into bed and she dreamed about being on Berk liked she lived there since she moved with her family

In Marinette's dream

"OI useless where are you going?" Snotlout asked

"I'm heading home, so please leave me alone." Hiccup said walking

"Tuffnut look at him thinking we going to leave him alone but let's show him what happens if you don't listen to us." Snotlout said and Tuffnut smiled as he picked up Hiccup by his collar and they started to beat him up

"(So, he's Hiccup "useless" Haddock I heard so much when the Berkins came to visit us and that has to be Snotlout who keeps flirting with me when he visited and I had to punch him so he stopped but he wouldn't listen and keep coming for more.)" Marinette thought then she saw her mother

"Mother I miss you so much but I'll be home soon and I'll return as Astrid Hofferson then I'll kill that dragon that ruined my uncles and our names reputation as the fearless Hofferson's." Marinette said then she saw her mother look at her way then she looked away and walked inside then Marinette woke up and saw it was the morning

"(I promise you mother I'll return home.)" Astrid thought then she got out of bed and she went to her mirror where she picked up hair spray in a bottle and she sprayed the blue on her blond hair and after she was done it dried very quickly and she got dressed and went down stairs.

2 months later Astrid's first sleep over.
