In her room at the top of the bakery, Chloe is working out. Since she began helping out Red Queen and Cheshire, she's been bulking up by eating way more than she normally would and lots of meat so that she has the mass to make into muscles. She watched videos online how to build up muscles, what kind of nutrition she needs and learned to fight dirty by watching films and shows. She even bikes everywhere, and uses the gym equipment at school whenever she can.

Chloe finish her push-ups and looks at herself in her mirror. She doesn't recognized the young woman looking back at her. Gone is the slender young woman who had no bark to back up her bite. In the mirror is a pretty young woman with athletic build, muscular arms and legs. In gym at school she's the top jock and thanks to watching how to videos, she's a very good at Capoeira. (1)

When her father ask why she's learning to dance, she explains it helps her in fights. Being a good dancer requires flexibility, coordination, balance, reflexes, and sometimes strength and speed, all things that go a long way in a fight as well. Plus, it just looks cool.

Turning on the news to see what's happening around the city, Chloe sees that Marinette's uncle Wang Cheng, an accomplished chef is in the city. If things happen as it did back in her old world he would be turn into that evil chef, of course things happen differently as events either didn't happen as she remembers it or a new villain just shows up. Either way she'll just go and be near the hotel when something happens.

Of course she doesn't have to go right away, seeing how nothing has happen yet. She just wait and see, which happen like last time as Marinette's uncle turned into that anime ripoff. But with the twist that it was Marinette who transformed into Princess Justice, as she was very upset with the judges not picking her uncle's soup thanks to the other cook her uncle was competing against mess with the soup.

Princess Justice wore a royal purple princess dress, that has a transparent net dress showing the purple tights she wore underneath. She is also blindfolded and held a sling staff, with a sling on both sides. Acting as a scale for her justice is blind theme her akumatized self has.

Chloe got geared up, wearing her bike helmet with a face guard, an old motorcycle shoulder pad, elbow and knee pads. Gloves that she has customized so that it has metal studs on the knuckles, and steel tip boots. A home made sling that she trained with to have a way of dealing with villains who can fly or give covering fire. And a plastic cane she found while dumpster driving after she decided to help the heroes with the villains.

"Bye dad," Chloe said walking out of the bakery with her bike. She has grown more grateful for her father and what he put up with her and doesn't want to be a burden to him.

"Be careful Chloe," André said.

He worries about Chloe putting herself in danger but he has seen how being a hero has changed her. She doesn't want to be pretty anymore or want expensive clothes all she wants now is to be a hero. She has gotten into shape and her fighting villains gives her an outlet for her anger issues. She's becoming a better person and has been helping him in the bakery. Her frame has also gotten more costumers to come to the bakery and the other shop owners like how her presents scares off would be criminals.

Later -

Riding her bike to the hotel is always strange as it use to be her home but thanks to the wish it's no longer. As she rides people notice her and gives her space, as they know that when she's out in her battle gear it means she's expecting trouble. Her presence is welcome for some as she cause both normal criminals and costume villains to look elsewhere. She keeps up with the news and knows how criminals don't want to mess with someone who regularly fights superpowered villains.

Chloe heard the screams and sounds of a fight going on once she got near the hotel. She rode her bike into the lobby and the staff recognized her clearing the way for her. She got off her bike and ran to the elevator and went up, and followed the familiar but different path to the roof.

Bursting onto the roof Chloe saw both Red Queen and Cheshire already there fighting Princess Justice. She's using her sling staff to block the heroes attacks and firing energy balls at the two. The people who are hit are transformed into either statues for the guilty or into armored knights, wielding large maces for the innocent.

While Red Queen and Cheshire kept the knights busy, Chloe went straight for Princess Justice. Chloe looked around and saw that the electric portable stove used for the contest is still plugged in. The large pot of soup is also still on the table. And she got an idea, to quickly end the fight and she gets to hurt Marinette.

Princess Justice has her attention on the two heroes as her knights of justice are fighting them. Her father has grabbed Cheshire in a bear hold from behind while her mother has her club raised ready to slam it down on the hero's head. Red Queen is fending off the other knights unable to help her teammate.

Hot soup is poured all over head causing her to give out a shriek of pain, with the pot slamming down over her head blinding her. Chloe not giving her time to recover pushes Princess Justice into the roof pool and toss the still plug in electric portable stove. Causing Princess Justice to scream as she was electrocuted, turning back to normal but was still being electrocuted in the pool. Marinette sank into the pool dead, Red Queen and Cheshire and everyone else having turned back to normal all stared in horror at the scene.

"Yeah, yeah she's dead," Chloe said as she pulls the plug from the wall socket and turns to Cheshire. "Fish her out and Red Queen can bring her back to life."

"Chloe what have you done?" Red Queen ask. Behind her Cheshire has fished Marinette's body out of the pool with her parents distraught seeing the dead body of their daughter.

"Ended the fight without me being half dead or just dead this time. Just use the cure and bring her back to life like you do with me," Chloe said not caring that she just killed Marinette.

"Miraculous Cure," Red Queen shouted casting the spell that restored everything back to how it was before the battle and brought Marinette back to life.

Marinette began sobbing as she was hug by her parents, remembering how she had died.

"Chloe you can't just keep on doing this, killing the ones who are turned into villains," Red Queen said.

"Why bother, they don't mind killing me and taking them out fast keeps the damage low. Remember what happen when I sat out with the spider villain at the school?" Chloe ask.

"Yes, that was difficult," Red Queen said.

Both she and Cheshire have gotten use to Chloe wearing down the villains before they defeat them or she takes them out first. When they fought the spider villain, they learned how much stronger Hawkmoth is making the villains, to counter how brutal Chloe is in dealing with them. They were almost beaten by the spider villains till they managed to knock him out by Cheshire causing part of the school to collapse on top of him.

"I died 13 times already and you can bring me and anyone else back to life," Chloe said.

"Yes but what happens when, I can't?" Red Queen ask.

"I stay dead and the villains who I hopefully take with me," Chloe answers shocking everyone with how she doesn't care if she does or not. (2)

Author's Notes -

1 - Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art which combines fighting with performance art. It's a very recognizable style with its emphasis on acrobatics, attacks from the ground, feints, and spinning kicks, frequently all at the same time. Dating back at least to the 18th century, the art spread first throughout Brazil, from poor blacks to wealthier classes, and throughout the world in the latter part of the 20th century.

2 - Like in a videogame Chloe knows that as long as Red Queen is alive and near she can always bring her back to life. So she doesn't mind being killed.
