you know what's coming

I won't just survive.

All of them. Every single one, all of her friends, her family, her classmates and neighbours. All the people she passed on the street. They were all turned against her. And those that were akumas became so again. 

Oh, you will see me thrive.

Even her beloved Chat Noir became Chat Blanc.

Can't write my story, I'm beyond the archetype.

All against her, all set to destroy her. She was public enemy number one. Behind her mask, she had to pretend she hated Ladybug as much as the others.

I won't just conform.

But she had a plan.

No matter how you shake my core.

And she was going to end this.

'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh.

One last stand.

Oh ye of so little faith.

She would save them all. Because even if nobody else believed in her, she did.

Don't doubt it, don't doubt it.

"Chat Blanc!" She roared from the top of the famous Tower, calling attention to herself. He would hear her call, she knew he was always listening. 

Victory is my veins.

"Ladybug." He sneered, when he did come. "I would say nice to see you again, but it isn't."

I know it, I know it.

"Kitty, kitty, kitty. You won't win." She tutted, confidently spinning her yoyo beside her.

And I will not negotiate

"How will you win? The entirety of Paris is against you. Your ex-partner is against you. The akumas are growing stronger by the minute. Please, tell me how I will lose." He scoffed.

I'll fight it, I'll fight it.

"Because I've found you, Hawkmoth. And trust me when I say, you will pay for this mess you've made."

I will transform.

She fought against him, stronger than ever, all the while that brave smile on her face never wavered. She had been training with Master Fu for weeks, months. She had mastered her powers, her yoyo, her hand-to-hand combat skills. 

When, when the fire's at my feet again,

Honestly, against the new and improved Chat Blanc, she had no chance. She expected to lose. 

And the vultures all start circling, they're whispering

You're out of time

Defeating all the akumas was never the plan.

But still I rise

It was drawing the most powerful away from the mastermind, Hawkmoth.

This is no mistake, no accident.

"You've lost, Ladybug." Chat Blanc smirked, leaning over her with Cataclysm charged. "Your luck has finally run out."

When you think the final nail is in, think again

She smiled. "Think again."

Don't be surprised,

"C H A T B L A N C !"  Hawkmoth's screech was audible this time, screaming out into the air, calling for his most powerful akuma.

I will still rise

The blonde's head whipped towards the Agreste mansion, eyes wide with panic. His purple eyes then flicked back at hers, seething with rage at her calm and confident smirk. In his rage, his purple eyes turned red as he slammed his darkly sparkling hand onto her stomach before fleeing to is master.

I must stay conscious.

She gasped in pain. So much pain. It would be so easy to let go, to give in. But she was the light to his darkness...

Through the madness and chaos

She must be able to overcome this. Someone had to, right? Someone had to cure them. Someone had to be there for Alya, her parents, Adrien... Chat... Someone... If no one would save them, she would, and that's what she was chosen for, right?

So I call on my angels, they say-

Right? 

Oh ye of so little faith

She had to get up.

Don't doubt it, don't doubt it

She had... to... get... u p.

Victory is in your veins

And high above the Parisian streets, in a beautiful skyline that the world knew, she stood, a gaping hole in her stomach.

You know it, you know it.

Slowly disintegrating, but standing.

And you will not negotiate!

She. Was. Not. Finished.

Just fight it, just fight it

And she was going to find Chat Blanc, Hawkmoth... and Tortue. Her ally. Her teacher and master. Fu.

And be transformed!

She couldn't swing on her yoyo, so she walked. She walked the Earth with the citizens turned against her, with akumas watching her every move, she walked so slowly, clutching her yoyo in her palm and clenching a fist. Nobody dared touch her, nor go near her.

When, when the fire's at my feet again,

They were afraid of the girl who walked.

And the vultures all start circling, they're whispering

As they should be.

You're out of time

She walked across Paris to the gates of the Agreste mansion, and she walked straight in. No words were spoken to the Gorilla, the huge bodyguard who let her in with stoic respect, nor to Nathalie, the secretary who hid underneath the desk. 

But still I rise

So many stairs, but she kept walking.

This is no mistake, no accident

There was definitely a fight, a speech going on which she interrupted with the loud creak of a door and thud of her footsteps across the wooden floor.

When you think the final nail is in, think again

"I thought I told you to get rid of her!"

"I did! I Cataclysmed her stomach!"

"It's not possible for her to be alive!"

"Ah, but her power is stronger than you believe."

Master Fu's twinkling hazel eyes met her tired blue orbs, interrupting Hawkmoth and Chat Blanc's spat. 

She just kept walking.

Don't be surprised,

She growled at Chat Blanc trying to stop her. "I'm already dead. What more can you do?"

I will still rise

"You're not dead, dead people don't walk."

Don't doubt it, don't doubt it

"Ever heard of zombies, hot shot? I have a hole in the middle of my body. I am disintegrating, I am in so much pain, but I am still moving, I am still going because I believe in you, you stupid cat and I swear to god if you fail me I will haunt you for the rest of your life."

Oh, oh, oh, oh

She ripped off Hawkmoth's butterfly brooch with the last of energy and threw the pin towards where Fu was crouched on the ground.

You know it, you know it

"We're done, you hear?" She whispered, sinking to the ground as the affects of the miraculous evaporated like dry ice with the absence of its holder. "We're... we're... done..."

Still rise

Chat Noir screamed in horror as Marinette Dupain-Cheng lay on the ground, her kwami sobbing at the loss of a girl with so much potential. 

Just fight it, just fight it

Her sacrifice to the world was known when Chat Noir carried her out of the mansion, revealing her shattered body.

Don't be surprised

I will still rise

just imagine Chat Noir looking over the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower, like that one scene from that one trailer where Ladybug with the red tips is in the wind, but Chat's alone

did i make u guys sad

i honestly just wanted to get this done
