It was supposed to be a routine mission, to take the Miraculous to the Gamma Quadrant for the Great Guardian Master Fu. She was entrusted with them as the wielder of the Ladybug Miraculous, as the Princess of the planet Miran. Marinette, at the age of 19, was given this task to prove herself and she took her role seriously. She knew the mission should have been easy but even with her luck, things didn't always go smoothly. She was on the bridge when the alarms went off.
"Status report," the young woman commanded.
"Another ship is approaching and fast! Sensors show they are prepared to fire their weapons," cried a crew member.
"Open the communication channel! Let's see what they want first," Marinette cried.
The communication officer inputted the command and gave the signal it was ready.
"This is Princess Marinette of Miran! State your reasons for aiming your weapons at us!"
"My dear Princess, you know perfectly well what my reasons are," said a smooth low voice.
"Hawk Moth," she growled. "I know what you're after and you aren't getting them!"
"You seem to forget that I'm the one who's armed at the moment."
"Yes but if you fire, you risk losing the Miraculous and we both don't want that to happen."
"Then why not just surrender?"
"As if I would surrender to a fiend like you!"
"I'm afraid that you have no choice," he threatened.
The ship shook and caused Marinette and the crew to react to it.
"What happened," Marinette cried.
"Hull breach on Level 12," someone yelled.
"That's above where the Miraculous Jewels are stored," cried Marientte as she raced to the elevator. "Increase the shields and fire weapons at will," she yelled as got on the elevator. She opened her comlink. "Alya! I need you to secure the room where the Miraculous are kept! No one gets in there!"
"You got it, girl!"
If there was one person Marinette trusted more it was her best friend, her bodyguard and fellow Miraculous wielder, Alya. She was the Fox or Rena Rouge, as Alya preferred. Her holograms helped get Marinette out of dangerous situations more times than she could count. Not that Marinette couldn't handle things on her own as Ladybug, it sure helped that she had someone to watch her back. When Marientte arrived to Alya's location, she was already fighting in her Rena Rouge suit. It was a bright orange armored body suit with black boots that made jumping and running easier. Her white chest plate displayed her Miraculous symbol, a fluffy fox tail that was orange and end tipped in white. A fox tail protruded from her lower waist to help shield her backside if needed. Her helmet was orange and white and let her ombré hair out and a visor to help her visualize her surroundings. On top of the helmet, fox ears served as antennas for her holograms that she could display to confuse enemies and black gauntlets to enhance her strength in her arms. Her weapon was a flute that she could tune to certain frequencies to further disorient enemies and for hand to hand combat.
"Stupid Akumas," Alya snarled.
Akumas, Hawk Moths minions, were dark purple humanoid beings with white butterfly masks. They were aggressive and fierce fighters and liked to fight in large groups.
"Rena Rouge," cried Marinette.
Rena Rouge created holograms of herself to confuse the Akumas and give herself some relief to speak with Marinette.
"Girl, there's too many of them!"
"Keep them distracted while I secure the other Miraculous." Marinette tapped her earrings. "Spots on!"
A bright beam came from the earrings and Marinette's clothes were replaced by her own armored body suit. Her's was red and had black spots. She wore reinforced black boots to help her run and jump. She had a black chest plate with a bright red circle in the center and five black spots. Her red gauntlets helped increase her strength. A red and black spotted helmet formed from her earrings and allowed her raven black hair to flow free. The visor allowed her to keep visual track of everything she saw. To how thick the walls were and what they were made of as well as the stability of the terrain and people in her sights. Her weapon looked like an ordinary yo-yo, but it had an unlimited string that she used to grapple and it also formed into any type of weapon she needed by using the code word, "Lucky Charm." Her suit was built with an AI called Tikki, who served as a guide to Marinette while in the suit.
"Hello, Marinette," the computer said in a female voice.
"Hi, Tikki. We've got trouble! Hawk Moth is after the Jewels!"
"Oh dear, I shall initiate fighting protocols then."
She fought her way through some Akumas and found the case with the remaining Miraculous Jewels. She grabbed the case and went to the escape pods. When she got there, someone was waiting for her. She wore a purple dress with purple tights, white boots and white gloves. Her hair was purple and white in twisted pigtails. A purple butterfly mask covered most of her face. She carried a large purple parasol.
"Well, well, well," the young woman sneered. "Where does the Princess think she's going?"
"Who are you?!"
"I am Stormy Weather! Weather Tech extraordinaire!"
"Wait, are you Aurore Beauréal, the weather scientist? Don't tell me you work for Hawk Moth now?! You know how dangerous he is?!"
"He offered me a deal I couldn't refuse! My weather tech deserves to be funded and developed! And I will start with frying you and taking the Miraculous!"
Stormy Weather aimed her closed parasol at Ladybug and fired purple lightening. Any normal person would have been electrocuted but Stormy's outfit was insulated. Stormy was taking out almost all the escape pods. At this rate, there would be no way Marinette could get out of here with the Jewels in one piece. So, Ladybug grabbed her yo-yo and tied up the weather scientist. While Marinette prepared the escape pod, she didn't realize Stormy Weather was almost free.
"Marinette! I sense movement behind you," Tikki cried.
Marinette quickly threw the case in and activated the pod. The pod jettisoned from the ship and disappeared into space.
"Where did it go?! Where did you send them," shrieked Stormy Weather.
"It doesn't matter! Somewhere far away from here and away from Hawk Moth!"
On Hawk Moth's ship, he snarled as he heard everything Ladybug told his weather girl.
"Don't think that I will not find them, wretched girl! I will have those jewels even if I have to destroy every planet to find them!"

Meanwhile, on a planet called Earth in the country of France and the bustling city of Paris; a blonde haired, green eyed young man in his 20's was part of another long, boring photo shoot for his father's fashion company. He's been modeling since he was a young boy and he wished he could do something else. His best friend and personal assistant and part time DJ, Nino, was standing off to the side watching the photographer complain how nothing looked right and he couldn't work under these conditions. Nino had two choices, threaten to call Gabriel and keep the shoot going or call it a night and be ready again bright and early the next morning. One look on Adrien's face told Nino, he'd be better off continuing the next day. So, the shoot was rescheduled much to Adrien's joy. The two men were walking along the streets to enjoy the warm evening after being cooped up all day.
"Dude, I don't know what Henri's problem was today but he seriously needed to chill," said Nino.
"Well, the designer was pretty vague on what it was trying to be. The way the clothes came together didn't seem to flow," said Adrien.
"Still, he's one of the best photographers in the business. I thought he could make anything work?"
"Guess he didn't have; 'da magics!'"
"Have you been watching MLP again?"
"Hey, it's a great show!"
"You and your cartoons, man. This is why you don't have a girlfriend."
"Don't start that. I get enough of that from father and I don't need it from you," whined Adrien.
"Well, if you went out like a normal person and met people, that would be different," said Nino.
"You know I'm not into that scene. The only girls who are there are looking for a hook up or shallow gold-diggers."
"Fine, I'll give you that one. But you gotta get out at least a few nights, not hold up in your apartment with Netflix."
While the two men continued their discussion of their favorite shows, Adrien looked up and saw something shoot across the sky.
"Hey look! A shooting star," he cried.
"Don't tell me you made a wish," chided Nino.
Adrien did; he wished for some excitement in his life and that the girl for him would appear. The sky had a few glittering stars overhead.
"Hey Nino, you think there's life on other planets?"
"Why do you care, you barely have any life on this one."
Adrien tried to smack his friend who just laughed. The two men went their separate ways and Adrien decided to take a detour through the park. It was empty for the night. Adrien liked the peace and quiet outside a lot better than the noise of the studio. Here he could sit and think and just be what he wanted to be, not what his father or the public wanted him to be. He closed his eyes to listen to wind rustle the trees, the crickets chirping, the roaring sound of something headed his way. Wait? What?! Adrien barely managed to roll out of the way when he heard a loud crash behind him. When he looked, what used to be the bench he sat on was now some sort of giant metal sphere that was scorched and still on fire a bit. The tree and bushes nearby were also on fire but just before Adrien could move to put out the fire, white smoke came out of the sphere and the fire was gone.
"It has a built in extinguisher?"
He approached the sphere with caution. Where did it come from? What was it? And who was inside it? Adrien always wondered if there were aliens and what luck was it that he of all people would get the chance to answer that question. He touched it, expected it to be hot from entering the atmosphere, but it was surprisingly cool. He felt around it to find an opening or something that could open it.
"How do you open this thing?"
As if it heard him, a hatch opened. The door lifted up and smoke billowed out. Adrien fanned it away to see what was finally inside. And there was; nothing but just a large black case with a symbol on it. It was hard to make out but it looked like a Chinese character for "miraculous". Adrien took the case in his hands and before he was about to open it, he heard sirens. He knew it was time to get out of here, so with the case in hand Adrien raced home.
She's a galactic Princess, he's a fashion model from Paris.  With not just Earth in danger but the entire universe is in jeopardy, the Ladybug and Chat Noir have to work together to save it.  If only the cat can figure out how the suit works


I know, I know, another story when I've got two others still unfinished but I had to upload this because I wanted it to start this summer and now's a good time as any.  Enjoy a space themed Miraculous story!

this a correction on changing Volpina to Rena Rouge to go better with what's been going on with the show
