Hey everyone, Clippy checking in. So, we know that now Ladybug knows that Adrien and Chat Noir are the same person. And, she is going in to defeat Adrien's akuma form. Let's see how that goes, shall we?

Enjoy!

Ladybug falls onto a collapsed building, glancing up at her surroundings. The city was black and shrivelled; the Eiffel Tower now pieces of bent, black steel. She looked around for any signs of Adrien's new form, then immediately rushing the other way.

She needed to get the miraculous box; she was going to need all the help she could get. Running up to her old street, she saw the bakery. She wasn't sure if she could call it that anymore; the building was more like crumbled concrete and stones.

She dug through her things, locating her diary and spellbook for the miraculous gems. She flipped through it, the kwamis flying out of their designated holes on the miraculous box. They looked at the guardian in shocked silence, Ladybug whipping through the pages.

"Here," she breathed, "I need to use this spell." The ancient spell allowed strengthened powers, and a longer duration of time before the users transformed back. It also meant that whoever wore the miraculous gem first, would be the only one capable of using it.

She bit her lip; there was a consequence, though. Ladybug would never be able to use the miraculous again after the incident. She sucked in a breath; she was willing to accept this fate. She grabbed the jewels, running to see if her old friends from school were still around.

Alya, Nino, and the rest of Marinette's classmates were clumped together in the sewers. "Daddy? DADDY!" Chloe cried into her phone, Alya rubbing her temples. "There is no service down here, Chloe," she shouted.

Nino rested his arms on her shoulders, Alya heaving a large sigh. "We're not getting out of here, are we," she muttered, defeated. Kim sighed, "we just have to wait until this Adrien-thing blows over," he said, optimism missing from the statement.

"It's not going to, and sooner or later, he will find us and kill us too," Alya breathed heavily. Rose glanced at Juleka sadly, Juleka still staring at her phone screen. "Where is Luka," she breathed, repeating the statement.

No one was going to say the truth; Luka had already died in Adrien's surface wipe. Rose took her phone gently, Juleka sitting down in the corner. "Well, we can at least do something for the last hour of our lives," Juleka proposed.

Alya sat down as well, Nino following her as the classmates sat in one large oval. "I thought Adrien was a good guy," Rose shivered. "He is," Alya shot back immediately. She then sighed, "this is just not his best light."

Rose shivered, "what is he going to do? Kill us all?" Kim scoffed, "then what is he going to do all alone?" Alya sighed, "obviously something." "There was a 3.96 survival rate for Ladybug, so it makes sense why she is gone," Max sighed.

"Can you stop with the equations," Kim shouted, "I don't want the last thing I hear to be math class." "Well, if we all die now, we will never go to another math class again," Rose cried, Alya standing up.

"Come on guys, we can't just give up," Alya sighed disapprovingly. "What else are we supposed to do," Nathaniel spoke up, "there is nothing else to do, anyway." Alya looked at her classmates sadly, her next statement getting interrupted by Ladybug falling in the middle of them.

Everyone stayed silent at the sight, Ladybug realigning her entrance so Adrien wouldn't find them. "L-Ladybug?" Alya stammered, Ladybug nodding. "It's a tad unfortunate you are all here together," she breathed, "but I don't have a choice anymore."

She lifted the miraculous box, the kwamis flying with their miraculous to their owners. "You want us to fight him?" Alya spoke up, uncertainty and judgement evident in her tone. "Look," Ladybug breathed, "if this really is the end of the world, can we not at least try and stop it?"

"Wouldn't you rather die trying, than sitting here anticipating your death?" Ladybug added, the classmates nodding. "I know for some of you it's your first time," she sighed, "and, has anyone seen Luka?"

Rose looked at Juleka. She then immediately whipped her head to avoid eye contact. Ladybug looked at her sadly, "I'm hoping with the power upgrade I gave you all, as well as myself, that we will be able to beat Adrien, and restore everything."

Everyone stood up, transforming as Ladybug lead them all to the surface. The rest of the teens went into hiding, Ladybug walking into the former town square. She stopped dead in her tracks, looking up for any sign of Adrien.

She was so calm, yet so tense.

"Adrien?" She asked, sounding more desperate than she had intended to. Out of nowhere, Silver Bullet knocked her onto the ground, looking directly into her eyes. "So glad you could join us," he purred, "a little bit late, are we?" His voice seemed so happy, but so maniacal at the same time.

Ladybug got up from under him, whirling her yo-yo. She studied Silver Bullet's body, identifying the akuma to be in... a heart-shaped card? He aimed a silver beam at Ladybug, the girl watching in terror as the beam erupted another catastrophic fall of a building.

He laughed as it did this, walking slowly up to Ladybug as she backed up with each step he took. "So, it seems that you came back to save me," he breathed, "yes?" Ladybug nodded, not daring to open her mouth.

He chuckled. "I love seeing false hope, I once dealt with the same thing," he laughed. "I thought that father would love me again, and I also thought that Zoey would wake up," his breath hitched. "But she didn't, so I killed them both," he laughed, slowly clapping his hands.

"It's so funny," he purred, "you also fell for the model with the fake smile, and not Chat Noir," he ran up to her. His lips grazed hers, Ladybug freezing in her place. "Why," he spat, Ladybug feeling his warm breath tickled her skin.

"I don't love Adrien anymore," she breathed, "and I did fall for Chat Noir." He laughed, "well, I think it's mean," he shot back, "but some people are saying too little, too late." 

"I just got here, when did you talk to all these people?" "Especially when they're all dead now," she added, Adrien roaring. "NOW!" Ladybug screamed.

Rena Rouge came from behind, and snatched the heart-shaped card, ripping it in half. Ladybug captured the akuma into her yo-yo, releasing it once more.

"W-What," Ladybug breathed. The akuma flew out, instead of the white butterfly.

Silver Bullet snickered, "time to make this bloody, my lady."

OH BOY. So Adrien is akumatized, and Ladybug can't purify the akuma! What the heck Tikki? You choose now of all times to not work? XD jk, Tikki did nothing, and neither did the spell ;)

But, as always, if you want the answers, stay tuned :D! Have a great day/night!
