Ahh hello everyone! Clippy saying hi to you lovely people. I apologize in advance for this chapter, but to just let you know, there is hope for things to turn around ;) Also, thank you all for 4k!!!!

But, of course, you do not know what I'm talking about. Let's just jump into it, shall we? Enjoy!

Carapace glanced at Ladybug skeptically, both of their gazes darting back to the other super heroine's fight with Silver Bullet. "You keep him busy with everyone else," Ladybug breathed, "I'll come join you in a minute."

Carapace gave a quick nod, leaping back up and striking one of Silver Bullet's chains head-on. Ladybug darted behind a remaining boulder, sucking in a hitched breath, trying to calm herself down. She had to stall him enough before using the cat ring, and then she could make her wish.

"Hey! Metal head!" Ladybug screamed, all the eyes darting to her. "Come get my miraculous! Make your stupid wish!"

"I'm not falling for your tricks, Lucky-bug!" Silver Bullet hissed in return. "I'm not like another akuma - have I not made that clear?"

Ladybug's eyes squinted, whipping her yo-yo at him. He grabbed the string with his fist, tossing it back to her. "Take it. You'll need all the help you can get."

"Azaga ora nuca crayna," Ladybug whispered the spell to herself as to remember, then whipping her yo-yo around. She dashed a hard right, skidding to a stop to check if he was trailing behind her. 

"STOP!" Silver Bullet commanded, thrusting his chains at her. Ladybug lept up into the air, jolting her wound up yo-yo into his face. He leaned his head to the right to dodge this, sucking in a hitched breath.

Ladybug jumped up, hoping to hit him head-on, only for him to leap to the right to dodge. "That's your best move, Lucky-bug?" Silver Bullet slow clapped, chuckling to himself.

Yes, give him false hope. Ladybug thought to herself. "We'll see about that," she replied swiftly. She walked slowly to the right as they both traced a circle with their movements.

He whipped his chains at her, Ladybug jumping up to dodge. "Is that your best move?" She mocked, instantly rolling onto the ground to dodge one of his chains. "Watch your mouth," he warned through gritted teeth.

"Watch yours," she remarked with a smile. Rena Rouge chucked her flute at Silver Bullet's head, him grunting deeply. She saluted at him, Carapace tossing Silver Bullet a mocking wave.

"Over here~!" Ladybug teased, his attention darting back to her. Rena Rouge was confused; hoping to distract him so she could recoil from the near misses.

Ladybug just nodded, Rena Rouge pausing before repeating the action. As she dodged another hit from Silver Bullet, she slipped on his old miraculous.

"TIKKI, PLAGG - UNIFY!"

Ladybug had a grey light surround her, it dispersing as gray triangles formed her new costume and weapons. Her yo-yo, now shining a bright red and black yin-yang, was equipped with red spikes on the edges. It provided extra grip on different surfaces.

Her hair had stayed in the short pigtails, her ribbons extending down to her waist. Her mask was a red and black yin-yang, both of her blue eyes now appearing with cat slits down the center. Her chest and bodice had a large yin-yang, each of the red or black areas having dots of the opposite colours provided.

Her red and black spots were accompanied by a red laced suit drifting down to her small gripped shoes, her smile forming while her mask got entwined with Plagg's dark magic.

"It seems you managed to find a way to retrieve your powers," Silver Bullet sighed, "why not just purify my akuma as Ladybug?"

"That will kill you." Lady Miracle put simply, "I do not want that." "It seems it is what everyone else would like," Silver Bullet sighed, "why not you?"

"Because death isn't an answer to everything," Lady Miracle replied, pain enlaced into her tone. "Well, it seems you are going to die if you use that spell of yours," Silver Bullet purred.

"Let me rephrase," Lady Miracle rolled her eyes. "My death may be a part of it, but yours will not."

Silver Bullet, "the friendliness," he quoted himself from Dark Cupid, "it's so revolting."

"You are definitely not my friend."

"You're right," Lady Miracle smiled, "I am not your friend."

"I was always just a friend to Adrien, but..." "I love you, Adrien. I love Adrien and Chat Noir." Lady Miracle opened up her arms, Silver Bullet flinching before she had gotten too close.

"Don't touch me," he spat, "that was in the past. I feel nothing but darkness now." He turned around. "Let me help you," Lady Miracle whispered softly.

"No. I don't want to help. I want everything to end." Silver Bullet finalized with a huff.

Lady Miracle sighed, "I suppose this is the only way then."

Lady Miracle gave a quick wave to her friends, "goodbye, everyone."

"LADYBUG NO!" "Ladybug, please!" "There is another way!" "Ladybug, you can't leave us!" "LADYBUG, PLEASE NO!"

Lady Miracle laughed subtly at the remarks, Silver Bullet turning the other way. "You're bluffing. You will not do it."

"You know I always liked proving people wrong," Lady Miracle whispered.

"Azaga ora nuca crayna!" 

A vortex formed in Lady Miracle's hand, her repeating the same thing in her mind.

Purify the boy, and the guardian will suffer all eternity.

The gods had pitied the girl and boy, Silver Bullet's akuma flying out as all the miraculous heroes gained back their powers.

Adrien glanced up to see Lady Miracle's costume fade off, revealing the girl he had fallen for. "MARINETTE!" Adrien screamed, the glowing light fading in one last burst.

Adrien felt the glowing pieces of light like they were snow, scrambling back onto his feet. "Marinette," he cried, "MARINETTE!"

...Yikes. So Marinette is "dead" (I say quotes, since its TBD ;3) and Adrien is here. God, I wonder what is going to happen with another bad thing in his life.

But, to find out, you'll have to wait for next week! 4 Chapters left! Ahhh, I can't believe it. I'm so excited to see if you guys stick around till then :3 I'm joking, I still love you even if you don't XD

But, as always, happy reading! Have a great day/night! Stay tuned ;)
