Chapter 17: The wedding

"They've doubled their men, " Ivan said as they approached the castle "we have to move quickly, tilt his head back. " Nino said placing the miracle pill in Adrien's mouth "the wedding is in half an hour we can't wait twenty minutes for Adrien too.. "But Plagg was cut off "I'll beat you both apart I'll take you both together! " Adrien yelled who to everyone surprise had woken up in seconds "Adrien your okay, " Plagg said quite relieved "well that certainly didn't take long, " Ivan said covering up Adrien's mouth so the guards wouldn't hear him "why can't I move my arms? " Adrien asked "you been dead all day, we had to ask a creepy old guy to bring you back to life" Nino said "who are you, are we enemies why am I on this wall and where is Marinette? " Adrien asked "let me explain Marinette is going to be marrying the prince against her will in less than half an hour so all we have to do is get passed the thirty men guarding the gate, crash the wedding steal the princess and escape after I kill Natalie. " Nino said "that lives no time for dilly dallying, " Adrien said managing to twitch his fingers "you just wiggled your fingers thats wonderful, " Ivan said amazed "I've always been quick healer, put my ring on. " Adrien said "no kid your in no state to transform, " plagg said but Ivan had already placed the ring on Adrien's finger "sorry Plagg but Marinette needs me, claws out! " Adrien transforming into Cat Noir despite the fact that he could stand up or move "i usually need a month to plan but we have little time, we need a distraction. " Cat Noir said trying to get to his feet but he was unsuccessful and Ivan had to help him "would a cloak and wheelbarrow do? " Ivan asked pulling out a dark blue cloak "where did you get that? " Nino asked surprised "from that master Fu guy it fit so nice so he said I could keep it, "   "excellent now one of you please grab my sword, " Cat Noir said "but you can barely stand, " Nino said "true but that's hardly common knowledge  isn't it, (his head then falls and Ivan sets it back upright for him) thank you there may be problems once we're inside. " Cat Noir said "so how are you going to fight when your like this? " Ivan asked "don't lecture him he's had a hard day, " Nino said sharply.

Meanwhile in the castle Marinette was wearing a beautiful sparkling  wedding dress with a small purple butterfly , her long indigo hair had been curled into one wave, and a pair of small ladybug earrings had been placed on her ears  "you don't seem excited my darling ladybug, " Hawkmoth said placing a crown with red and black jewels on her head "I'm not going to marry you my kitty is going to save me, " She said sternly and walked out of the room, Hawkmoth smirked as the thought of Adrien's screams echoed in his mind.
Outside of the Castle Cat noir and Nino well actually mostly Nino began pushing Ivan who had been attached to the wheelbarrow the men guarding the gate we're shocked when a large figure wearing a dark cloak had appeared moving towards them as if he was a vengeful spirit "stand your ground" one of the brutes said.
"I am the ghost of the vengeful Cat noir there will be no survivors, my men are here but soon you will not be here, " Ivan declared "now? " Nino asked struggling to keep Cat Noir on his back and push Ivan forward "light him, " Cat Noir  said and then suddenly the cloak that Ivan was wearing bursted into flames and all the guards ran in fear
*****
Marinette and Hawkmoth kneeled before the clergyman and behind them stands the old king and queen along with Natalie, "marriage.. marriage  is what bring us.. together.. today.. " the man said with a voice so monotone that you fall asleep from boredom just listening "marriage... is a... blessed.. dream.. for love.. true love.. " the man continued even though Hawkmoth was clearly getting impatient "for now.. and.. forever" the man said "skip to the end, " Hawkmoth ordered giving Natalie a nod and she takes off with four other guards.  "Do you have the ring? " The man asked and Hawkmoth pulled it out and placed it on Marinette's finger who gave him her usual death glare "Adrien will come for me, " she said to his face.
*****
Norro was the only guard left and he frantically tried to close the gate so that Cat Noir, Ivan and Nino couldn't get in but Ivan stopped it from closing and forces it open with his bare hands. Norro looks at them in fear but remains silent
*****
"Your precious Adrien is dead I killed him myself, " Hawkmoth admitted causing some people in the room to gasp "then why is there fear behind your eyes? " she asked and she was right because it was indeed there.
*****
"Give us the gate key, " Cat Noir  ordered "I have no gatekey, " Norro lied but he didn't foul anyone "Ivan tear his arm off, " Nino said in a threating voice "oh you mean this gate key, " Norro said finally giving in.
