Part 2:

Chat Noir continued to run along the rooftops that rainy evening. It was all for the best. I am doing this to save her... and everybody else for that matter. Where is Alix? Chat stopped at the bridge where he was supposed to meet her. He waited for a while and the rain started to fall harder than before. Dang, it. I am going to catch a cold again. He heard a portal open up near him.

" Chat Noir." The voice said from behind him. It was Alix (from the future btw).

" Hey, Alix. So I did what you told me to do."

"Good. It is imperative that Marinette has no feelings for either of your personas." Alix said in a stern tone. "Are you ready to head back to your world yet?"

Chat sighed before he gave his answer. He knew he had to leave because he couldn't leave two Adrien's in this world. But he couldn't stand the world he lived in. It wasn't right ever since... he---.

"Chat Noir I know it must be hard now that Marinette is your sister in your current world, but this is the only way to revert what he has done," Alix said in the most comforting way that she could. "Your Cataclysm is the only way to destroy it."

~ Le Flashback ~

~ Adrien's POV ~

It was just a normal day in Paris. I went to school and my father had surprisingly let me go out to get ice cream from Andre's with Nino, Alya, and Marinette. We sat on the benches by the bridge as we all sat down with our delectables. My ice cream sure looked like Ladybug alright. It was meant to be Bugaboo! But I couldn't help but see the striking resemblance of my ice cream to Marinette. Marinette always had looked like Ladybug but they do not act the same in the slightest... her ice cream did look like me too... it's definitely nothing (leave it to Adrien to find out ladybug's identity through ice cream rather than how they look the exact same T-T.) We ate and I had to get home early before a shoot I had tomorrow.

"Bye guys!" I said as I walked away. They said the same back and we parted our separate ways. I felt a presence behind me, however. It was strange. I turned around to see Marinette.

"Oh hey, Mari! Why didn't you stay with the group?" I asked her.

"..."

"Um..." I said slowly. Marinette usually stutters around me, but she always eventually says something. This was strange. She had an odd look in her eyes. She smirked at me before finally saying something.

"Got him." She said and she gave me a weird smile. It was almost evil.

"Is this a prank Mari? I'd never expected you to act so-" A flash of light hit me in the gut as I fell backward. This was not Marinette. " Who are you?"

"Awe little boy why would I tell you that? Just give me your miraculous. Now." The voice of whoever was talking was sinister and evil. She morphed into a shadow creature unlike anything I had ever seen before. She knew my identity, which means Hawkmoth knew as well.

"Are you akumatized miss? You should know I'll never give up my miraculous."

"Silly boy. Do you think that that weak old man controls me? He is long gone."

Did she really destroy Hawkmoth? Was she bluffing? I have never seen someone this powerful. The sky had darkened all around and I got a feeling in my gut that something was really wrong. If Hawkmoth didn't want the miraculous, then why did she?

"Who are you?! And why do you want the miraculous?!" I yelled.

"Awe we got a scared little kitty now don't we! I can't wait to make you forget it all! Have you ever stopped for a moment to think about why you even have a miraculous?"

"I have it to defeat Hawkmoth... but now I don't even know," I responded.

"Wrong. The miraculous were never meant to be used against each other. All of the miraculous that you know of were meant to be used for good. Hawkmoth just broke that rule for more... personal reasons."

"Then why were they created?" I asked. I had never thought of all that. Good and evil must always be kept at a balance... but what do they want?

"I'm sure you are going to figure it out soon! Oh, wait... silly me you won't even remember!" She said as she snickered.

"Try me! Plagg claws out!"
