Chapter Text
"HEEEEEEELP!"
Marinette jumped out of her seat when she saw the floating, thing, up in the air. "It's, a giant bug! Ah- a mouse! A-ah, a bug mouse!"
"Everything's okay. Don't be scared." The little bug tries to calm her new holder, only to dodge all the objects being thrown at her. "Listen Marinette, I know everything may seem a bit, strange to you but-" She tried to calm her holder down, but the only thing she managed was to get trap in a glass cup. "Okay, if this helps you feel safer."
"What are you? And how do you know my name?" Marinette demanded, but before the little red bug could have the chance to speak, another voice did.
"How rude. Tikki was just trying to help." Marinette slowly looked up, now seeing a complete stranger, standing before her, in her room. She wore a long dress, half white, half black. Similar style to the dress, half of her hair was pale as snow as the other was dark as night. But the eyes were the one most distinct. Her left was a normal white color with a black iris, her right eye however, was the reverse of the other. The mysterious lady raised an eyebrow when the girl remained in absolute silence. "Hello?"
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH-"
"STOP!" The woman reached out and clamped Marinette's mouth, preventing any more screams that kept tearing out of her throat. "Please, Please! Give us a chance. We just wanna talk." She retracted her hand away.
Marinette let go of the cup and scooted away from the stranger. "Who are you and why are you in my house?"
The lady simply lifted up the cup to free her little friend. "First, let me introduce myself. I'm a guardian, a spirit who have been watching over the superheroes and aid them when the need it. Secondly, as you know, there's danger roaming the street of Paris. Isn't that right, from what you saw from the news?" Marinette nodded.
"And since it is causing such a havoc, it must be quickly dealt with. Meaning there will be someone to stop that poor victim. You," she points right at Marinette's face, "will be the one to stop it."
"Me?!"
"Yup!"
"I can't! W-What would I do? What can I do?"
"Simple. With the help of this little friend here, you can become a superhero." Marinette drowned herself in silence, processing on what the woman just said to her. A superhero? Her? There's no way.
"There's must be a mistake. I can't be a superhero. The only superpower I have is being super clumsy. I know! How about Alya? She's my friend, well, I think she's my friend. But she loves superhero, you should ask her."
"If only asking a person would be that easy, but that's not how this works Marinette. You, specifically, were chosen to become one. And this kwami here, Tikki, will help you." Marinette nervously glanced to the bug floating in mid air once more, a soft smile directed towards her. "I know this isn't exactly easy to take in but believe me, you will be fine. Please trust me when I say that you're the only one who could stop Stoneheart." Mentioning the name, the lady looked back at the computer where the camera was still recording the enemy.
Marinette followed her gazed to her computer watching as the villain strode away. And just behind it was Alya on her bike. Marinette gasped quietly before turning back to the kwami. She's never the one who would go straight into action all prepared. She'll mess up or ruin something with her clumsiness. But she couldn't let Alya get hurt. She was her friend.
After some thoughts racing through her mind, she agreed. "Alright, I'll try."
The lady turned back and gave her a bright smile. "Thank you. I promise you won't regret this. Now, close your eyes for a second." The blue haired girl did what she was told. "Okay now open." Where the full grown adult once stood was replaced with a younger one, one close to Marinette's age. Black shirt with a white t shirt, hair tied tied in a bun with a few pieces dangling over it and an eye patch displayed over her right eye. Her voice became light as well.
"Why did you change your look?"
"Thought it would be better this way. Now here's what you have to do." She handed the box towards her and opened it. "Simply wear those earrings. As a villain, they will always carry an item that it corrupted by an akuma. The akuma is what causing a person to become a villain. All you have to do is find the item, break it, purify the akuma and then you use your Lucky Charm. You capture an akuma with your yo-yo, which will come with your suit, and Lucky Charm is your special power, it helps you to beat the villain and when your done, it restores anything that was damaged. Sorry to take away your explanation Tikki."
The girl waved her hand to apologize, but Tikki shook her head. "It's okay. All that matters was for Marinette to calm down."
"Okay so I just have to put on these earrings and I'll become a super hero?" Marinette asked the other girl.
"That's about it. Oh, and you won't be fighting alone, you'll get help."
"Are there more heroes?"
"Yeah, just one other learning how to be one. I'm sure you'll meet them soon. Now, you just have to say 'spots on'."
"Spots on?"
Right on cue, the earrings activated and the transformation took place. The guardian took a step back and watched as the simple girl changes into a hero. When the transformation finished, Marinette looks over her new look. "Woah... okay, this is a bit too much. Where did Tikki go?"
"Well, she's inside your miraculous, your earrings, which allows you to have the suit and your powers. Warning, when you use Lucky Charm, you can only use it once. When you do, you have five minutes to change back."
The two were interrupted when Marinette's mom called up for her daughter. "Quick, up to the roof!" Ladybug quickly whisper to the spirit and followed her request. The guardian went up first and waited for the red clad hero to come up and close the hatch. "So, what do I do now?"
"You just use your yo-yo and find Stoneheart. And, Marinette, trust in yourself, you can do this."
Ladybug gazed out to the city of Paris, holding her yo-yo in her hand and taking a deep breathe. But before she adventure off, she asked one more question. "Oh, wait, what's your name?"
The girl look surprised. "Oh! I forgot about that. My name is Yin and Yang, but you can just call me however you want."
"Yin and Yang? Like that chinese black and white symbol?"
"That's correct."
"Huh, then, can I just call you Yang?"
"That's perfectly fine with me." With that done, Ladybug turned around, and threw her yo-yo out into the open air and pulled herself off from the roof. The guardian smiled with containment as she watched the new Ladybug finally coming back to repel evil once more.
