Ladybug propped him up. Her hands quavered at the sight of so much blood, and the fact his breathing was so slow. His unconscious body rolled in her arms as she leaned his against a price of rubble.

"Wha-wha... How? What do I do?!" She said her voice fearful. Percy was a friend. And he held a big secret of hers. She didn't want to loose him! She had no idea Chat noir, who stood behind her, felt the same. Percy and himself didn't hang out as much as the rest of his friends did, but Percy was a good person and even if they didn't know each other, he was Adrien's friend.

"Maybe your miraculous ladybug? It fixes everything right?" He offered.

"Your right. I got this... Miraculous Ladybug!!!" She said throwing the unused lucky charm in the air. Ladybugs danced here and there, picking up the rubble and debris and placing them in their correct places. A swarm of magic washed over Percy.

Suddenly the boy jumped up. He was alert and fearful. "I destroyed you! Show yourself you foul monster!" He screamed and uncapped his pen which bloomed into a sword.

"Relax Percy! We defeated the akumatized victim" Alix assured him.

"No! It's still here. Not gone... There!" Percy swung his sword and pointed it at a shadowy figure. "You should be in the depths of Tartarus!" The shadow flinched at the sight of his sword.

"Now now, I regenerate. I'm immortal. You simply defeated me from four years ago. But I'm back, and I must say, your quite far from home, aren't you Mr. Jackson." Said a raspy female voice. It sounded young and wise, yet vain. The creature steeped towards the four teens.

"Why are you here?!"

"Oh young demigod, I thought you of all people could figure it out. You, the one who defeated a Minotaur when you were 12. You who killed several Greek myths and legends, including me. You, who escaped the labyrinth, oh so much easier than it should have been. You, who swam in the river Styx without dyeing. You who defeted the Titan King, Lord Kronos. You saved the world, a demigod! You must be smarter than that." Though they couldn't see the shadowy figures face, they could hear her grin, a smile as if she was pleased with Percy for being oblivious to her.

"How do you know all that!?" Percy raised his sword, ready to strike.

"I've been watching you Percy. Since the night you and your little friends killed me, like I was a simple chore. No tragedy there. You managed to trick me! And how great would I look, if I finished this incredible "hero" once and for all! I could be honored! Feared! A force to be respected!" The shadow stepped closer into the light.

"Don't look at her!" Percy ordered.

"Oh really Percy,?" The shadow seemed displeased at the fact that they had all looked away on his command. "Can't I have some fun. I'm killed, decades after decades of never ending suffering. Demigod, even mortals have destroyed me! But today is different. I will destroy you! And chop of YOUR heads!" It cackled. "I am Medusa!"

Ladybug could now understand. As if the name triggered it, she heard snakes hissing and could almost feel the eyes of stone. That's why they looked away.

Ladybug brought her yoyo to the ready. Suddenly she heard a beeping noise. Her earring. Her time was running out. She heard Chat Noir's ring beep as well.

"Chat, we gotta recharge!" She instructed. The looked up and made eye contact. He nodded.

"Yes my lady." He dashed away from the sene.

"Hope you don't mind Percy. This is bad timing and all but..,"

"I know! Your gonna detransform! Hurry!" He interrupted. Ladybug looked at Alex, who had her roller blades on. Except they had actual blades on the sides for a weapon. Alex nodded as well, her messy ink hair bobbing as she did so.

Lady bug turned and ran off. She had just reached an empty hallway in the school when her transformation whore off. The pink light consumed her and left her as Marinette instead of the Parisian super hero.

"Tikki, we gotta make this fast!" She said as the red kwami landed in her hands.

"Marinette... I can't. I don't have any energy left!" She groaned. The kwami couldn't even stand let alone fly. She shivered in Marinette's palm of her hand.

"Tikki! Are you alright?!"

"It took me a lot of energy to save Percy. But now you need to save him!"

"I can't! Your hurt!"

"Marinette can. You can do it!" The little creature coughed and fell asleep.

"Tikki?!"

No response.

"Fine. I can try." Marinette mumbled to herself. She opened her purse to let Tikki inside. Once the kwami was comfortable, Marinette closed it. Then she got an idea. It was ridiculous, but it could just about save them.

Adrien fed Plagg the smelly Camembert. The black kwami stuffed itself full and fat. It was disgusting.

"Ah Plagg, why do you do this to me?"

"Hey, I have to listen to you fantasize about Ladybug, this is nothing."

"Ugg but it smells! Just..."

"Smell! I'm offended! This fancy cheese is the best in the world. And at least it smells better than you!"

"Plagg just... Just get in the ring."

"What?"

"Claws out" Adrien said with a lazy voice. The cat like kwami was sucked into the ring and in a flash of green light, Chat Noir stood ready for action.

The hero sprinted from the classroom he was in and found the battle sene. He covered his eyes once he saw Medusa's figure. He readied his baton and prepared for a fight. Suddenly, he heard a blood curdling scream that sounded an awful lot like his lady's.

Without thinking he ran in its direction. He would do whatever it takes to save her. She was in danger, with or without the mask. He covered his eyes I case she wasn't suited.

"Lady bug!" He reached the spot the sound had come from. The girls bathroom.

"No, Marinette."

"Oh." He uncovered his eyes. "Are you alright! You screamed!"

"Just to get your attention. I know about the battle down stares. Medusa right?"

"Wait, are you a Demi-"

"It's an akuma too, right?"

"Oh, he he. Yeah..."

"Well I know my mythology. Medusa creates stone statues out of her victims that look at her. I.. Don't remember his name... But this one guy used his shield as a mirror for her and she killed herself."

"Oh, I think I've heard of that. So... Oh! We use her reflection!"

"Bingo. I tore the mirror off the wall. There's enough of them to create a cage around her. Think you can do it?"

"Think I can!? I know I can!"

Marinette giggles at him. Her few freckles were covered in a deep blush.

"R-right kitty- I mean Chat Noir! Uh um... Here. Just take the mirrors." She picked them up and thrust then at him.

"Ill tell you when it's safe." He smirked and picked up her hand. Her face was a tomato by now. He pecked a kiss on the top of the hand and walked away dramatically.

Time skip

Chat Noir came bursting through the bathroom doors. He had blood in his perfect blood hair and scratches on his face. One cut through his mask, barely missing his eyeball.

"*pant* all safe. *gasp* you can come out now." He leaned against the wall. He looked weak and beaten down.

"Oh Chat! Your hurt!"

"Nothing compared to Alex. *pant* she goes crazy when she's in Demi- uh on her blades. I saw her uh... Crash one time! He he."

"Oh yeah, she can, um, get in some awe full situations." Marinette covered for him.

"Well, I'll lead the way." Chat opened the door and they walked out. They reached a corner hallway where Medusa sat in a scaled ball. Mirrors caged her against the wall. She refused to look at them.

"Wow. That's what she looks like. From behind that is."

"I'm retched! I'm hideous! Cursed in this ugly body! Don't tease me foolish girl!"

"Don't talk like that to Marinette!" Chat defended.

"Oh! Some defensive love!" Medusa laughed.

"W-what are y-you talking about?!" Marrinette blushed madly.

"Ok, so you don't love each other. But just saying..." She kept giggling.

"Who knew Medusa was so much like a teenage girl." Chat muttered. Medusa froze and went quiet.

"Watch it boy! I'd give anything to be a teenage girl, do you have any idea what this situations like?"

"No. Um... Sorry?"

"You better be sorry! Listen, I know what I'm called nowadays, a monster. I'm not anything human. But I was once a person. A girl who loved every one. Including myself. Just... Don't do that to yourselves."

"Do what?" Marinette asked.

"Waist your life away, denying love. I pretended not to love any one and became self absorbed. Now I'm a monster, and who could ever love a monster. Check your opportunities. Don't miss them. You might not ever get those chances again." Medusa sniffled. She hugged her scaly knees to her chest.

"Are you.. Giving love advice?" Chat asked feeling stunned that this monster who tried to kill him and sent Alex to the hospital, had feelings.

"If that's how you take it. Speaking of chances, I'm gonna take that chance now. A leap of faith. I'll start over." She turned to face the mirrors. Marinette finally saw her face.
It wasn't what she expected. A horrible, snake like, ugly face that turned you to stone. It was a gorgeous face, other than the fact it was scaly. Her yellow eyes strung with tears. A smile played on her lips as her snake like figure, and ray of snakes that made her hair, morphed to stone. And she crumbled into golden dust.
The dust flew past them as if in the wind. Marinette swore she heard Medusa say one last time "take your chances" as the gold floated through the air and out of view.

I changed the cover. Hope you like. For those of you who don't know, this was the old one,

This is the new one,

Lol you can hardly see Percy.
