Marigold and The Stolen Miraculous

Chapter 1

Marinette heard of the new heros in town and greatly respected Chat Noir's abilities to deal with Scarlet Lady's bullshit. Scarlet Lady seemed unbearable and reminded Marinette of Chloe Bourgeois though somehow worse. Marinette didn't know it was possible but as akuma attack after akuma attack Scarlet Lady still managed to do nothing and claim credit Marinette found the new Mean Queen.

Alya quickly realized this as well and shut down the Scarblog and instead created the BlackChat. It was cleverly designed so the text was green on a black background. She only used the Scarblog now to criticize the supposed "hero" and needless to say Chloe hated it. When Scarlet Lady dropped by the school to fan her own ego Marinette wasn't all too surprised. What did surprise Marinette was the old man waiting in her room for her after school that day.

"I am sorry to intrude Miss Dupain-Cheng but this is urgent. I am Master Fu the Guardian of the Miraculous. Scarlet stole the Miraculous of the Ladybug from me and I am here to right that wrong. You were supposed to be the Ladybug hero. Unfortunately I cannot persuade her to return the Miraculous even in exchange for another. That is why I ask you to take the earrings from her to regain your place as the true Ladybug hero." He finished and waited for her questions.

"How am I supposed to do all that? Also wait I was supposed to be a hero? Like Chat Noir?"

"Yes. You are Chat Noir's true partner. You will accomplish this task with a different Miraculous." He held out a box and Marinette took it and opened it to reveal a beautiful golden comb. "That is the Miraculous of the Bee." A small golden ball zipped around the room before stopping in front of her. It faded into dust and within the golden power there was a large bee like being. "This is the Bee Kwami Pollen."

"Pleasure to meet you my Queen." He went over the power of the Bee Miraculous quickly. He explained how to transform and what Pollen would need to eat to recharge her powers. Then he went over the special power unique to the Bee.

"Venom will allow you to immobilize an enemy. But be warned you will transform back soon after using your power." Marinette nodded before a loud crash nearly knocked them both off their feet. "That must be an akuma. Go join Chat Noir and help because we both know Scarlet will not."

Marinette went to put the comb in her hair but suddenly it changed into two smaller combs. She smiled at Pollen who had clearly worked the small magic for her hair. She slid the combs into both of her pigtails and nodded.

"Pollen buzz on!" The magic of everything ran over her and she let her fingertips brush along her body as the suit formed beneath them. She leapt off her balcony and went to join Chat Noir and Scarlet Lady. She went straight into the fray dodging hits with fluid motions switching between attacking and defending flawlessly. "Venom!" she called out and pricked the enemy with her stinger. She took the akumatized object to Scarlet with a smile. "Hello. I'm your new partner. I'm the holder of the Bee Miraculous and my name is Marigold."

Scarlet Lady scoffed. "Yet another sidekick. We don't need your help so just buzz off." She took the item and crushed it. Then purifying the Akuma she reversed the minor damage done. Marigold brushed Scarlet off.

"I wasn't actually talking to you. I was talking to the real hero." She turned to Chat Noir. "It's nice to meet you!" She held out her fist for him to pound. Chat appeared stunned for a moment.
"The real hero? You were talking to the right person in the beginning then." She turned back to an irritated Scarlet.

"No, the first person I talked to was a hero wannabe who should really just stick to cosplaying." Scarlets jaw dropped. "Chat would you like to talk to me later? I'm going to transform back soon." Chat snapped back to reality. God if he wasn't falling for Marinette he'd be head over heels for this new bee in town. "Yeah sure I don't have to transform back yet so just come back in a few minutes...what's your name again?" He said partly in a daze.
