(TW//Blood,Death,fight scenes,Spoilers for Miraculous Ladybug)

(Learning with Pibby AU)

"Will you hold the line?
When every one of them has given up and given in,tell me."

Thunderstar spoke from ShadowMoth's shoulder. ShadowMoth looked at the long dead leader,and sighed.

"In this house of mine,Nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost,tell me,Will the stars align?"

He looked the Ginger tabby in the eyes,and then said:

"Will the stars align? Will heaven step in will it save us from our sin, will it?"

Both looked outside the large window at the top of Rose Tower,they weren't where they were supposed to be. Thunderstar belonged back in OWAR and Warrior Cats,meanwhile ShadowMoth belonged to Miraculous Ladybug.

'Cause this house of mine stands strong.

His house was the last safe place in Paris. Well,at least,it was,before he left to Join Rosie's group. He regretted that,since it left Emile open for attack.

That's the price you pay,Leave behind your heart and cast away.

ShadowMoth looked longingly at the picture of his wife in his locket. He was doing this for her,he thought. But,why couldn't he shake the thought he was also doing this for that Rosie girl? Had he become genuinely attached to her? He didn't care,he just wanted his wife back.

Just another product of today.

He looked over at the group. He saved alot of People from the Glitch using his Akumas. Sanford and Deimos. 682. And a great deal of others he forgot the names for. Why did he want to know their names? That puzzled him. He usually didn't care to get the names of his Akumatized people,but now he suddenly wants to. That thought troubled him.

Rather be the hunter than the prey....

He thought back to when he met Rosie. He was hulled up in his lair,secretly terrified of what had happened. Yet...the Glitch never came for him,and yet it took away everyone he loved. He was dead set on killing the damn thing himself,Rosie be dammed.

"And you're standing on the edge face up,'Cause you're a natural!"

He heard Rosie singing along to a song once in the Mystery Machine van. He couldn't help bit admit the girl's singing skills were impressive. But,the next Lyric described him perfectly.

"A beating heart of stone,You gotta be so cold To make it in this world!"

Ever since the Glitch happened,his life flipped itself on its head. He was now a hero instead of a villain...why did that thought bring him happiness? He was supposed to be a villain!
He looked over at Merlina. If she could enjoy being a hero despite being the villain,he thought,then he can too.

Living your life cutthroat,You gotta be so cold,Yeah, you're a natural!

Using the sword in his cane,he cut the missle heading for Korosensei in half. Korosensei simply laughed and told him he didn't need to do that,only to get slapped. Seemed Rosie was rubbing off on him. That he couldn't deny. And he actually found Joy in the thought.

"Will somebody,Let me see the light within the dark trees shadowing?"

He read the section of Merlia's note out loud. It was about how trapped he felt as a villain. And he had to admit he felt the same. He never won against Ladybug and Cat Noir. He would always lose. It was an infinite cycle. He looked at the note,and at his Miraculous. He placed a hand over the Peacock and Butterfly,mentally apologizing for what he did to them.

"What's happening?"

He quietly asked Rosie who was staring at her phone. She showed him,and it was an acceptance of alliance between them,the SCP Foundation,the Global Occult Collation,The Serpent's Hand,and so many other GOI. The first  genuine happy smile in years spread across his face as he hugged the child. He couldn't believe what he just did,but at the same time,he so happy he did.

"Looking through the glass find the wrong within the past knowing,Oh, we are the youth! Cut until it bleeds inside a world without the peace, face it."

Ashfur was trying to get ShadowMoth to turn back to evil. ShadowMoth simply grabbed the Speckled Grey Tom by the scruff,and tossed him across the room,warning him to never return as next time,he'll do worse. The cat hissed and left.

A bit of the truth, the truth.

ShadowMoth stood back to Back with Angel Dust in battle. He threw an opponent right into Angel's Venom ability,allowing ShadowMoth to steal back the stolen Monkey Miraculous. He handed the Miraculous back to Pump,as Rosie watched with a huge smile on her face.

"That's the price you pay.
Leave behind your heart and cast away,Just another product of today.
Rather be the hunter than the prey."

He thought to himself,thinking back in that song Rosie had played. He could see why Rosie played it. It was....oddly prophetic. It showed how he felt ever since joining Rosie. He had asked for the song name,and was now actively listening to it.
It was a good song indeed.

And you're standing on the edge face up,'Cause you're a natural!

This was it. The final battle.
The one that decided the fate of the Universe. Everyone fighting was putting  all they had into it. He fought as hard as he could.

A beating heart of stone,You gotta be so cold!

He fought off corrupted person after corrupted person. It was so tiring. But,he couldn't give up. The Universe's fate was in his and his group's hands.

To make it in this world,Yeah, you're a natural! Living your life cutthroat,You gotta be so cold,Yeah, you're a natural!

Unbeknownst to him,a Corrupted Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary snuck up behind him,and slashed his throat with her axe. He grabbed at his neck,blood flooding down from his neck. He fell to his knees.

Deep inside me,I'm fading to black I'm fading......

When he opened his eyes after his vision faded to black,he saw the Star Clan leaders surrounding him,ready to welcome him into Star Clan. He wasn't having it. He still had things to do.

"Took an oath by the blood on my hand won't break it! I can taste it the end is upon us I swear!"

He said to the leaders. He was refusing death and Paradise. He has one task to do. And the leaders saw his determination. And they nodded.

"Gonna make it....I'M GONNA MAKE IT!"

A flood of Akuma's marked ShadowMoth's revival. They immediately hit several Corrupted People,turning then against the Glitch. Then more. Then even more. Soon,there was more people against the Glitch then with it.

The battle quickly took a turn for the best after that.

Natural! A beating heart of stone,You gotta be so cold! To make it in this world!

ShadowMoth watched with Joy as his army,His Akuma army,was effortlessly beating the Glitch back with the help of the Miraculous Holders. He joined in the fight,beating back the Glitch and finally being able to get revenge for his son and his Wife.

Yeah, you're a natural! Living your life cutthroat,You gotta be so cold! Yeah, you're a natural!

After the Glitch was defeated and killed,he smiled brightly. He was shaking from Adrenaline. His chest felt warm,and in a good way. He ran up to Rosie and excitedly hugged her,ans she returned the favor. Pibby hoisted herself onto his shoulder,and he grabbed her and messed with her hair. Being good felt good. He wouldn't trade this for the world.

"Natural!"

The crowd chanted as the Three Brothers of Death approached him,Rosie,and Pibby. Since they were the reason the Glitch was defeated,All Death said,he would grant all of them 1 wish. Any thing they wanted,it would be theirs. Rosie motioned for ShadowMoth to make his wish first. ShadowMoth said shakily that he wanted his wife to return to life. All Death nodded. ShadowMoth smiled brightly.

Yeah, you're a natural.

ShadowMoth-No. Gabriel Agreste looked at the group photo of him and the Glitch Resistance. He smiled warmly at seeing Rosie. She would definitely invite him,Adrien,and Emile over for Thanksgiving.
As her father said:
'Rosie's true power is to heal even the Darkest of blackened hearts.' And was that ever true.
