Episode 8: Along Came a Spider; Part 2
The Spider Woman crawled down the web, nearly over me.
"You must be an Akumatized vict-?"
"Shhshhshhh." She placed a claw over Lila's lips.
"You feel that?"
"Your claw, these webs or the fear of the thought of you eating me?"
"Pffft. Hehe. No cutie. The breeze. It's not blowing hard anymore."
"Then the villain has moved further away?"
"Correct." She said, before cutting Lila down.
"Sorry if I scared you, but I had to wait til the wind slowed before we could leave this alley, so I used you as entertainment." She chuckles.
"Really?" Lila glared at her. The Spider just smiled, and winked with 2 of her eyes.
"So, not trying to be rude, but who, and what, are you?"
"Heh heh. I could tell you, or not?"
Lila glared at her again.
"I'm kidding, doll." She giggled.
"I am Rachnera."
"Rachnera? Like the Monster Girl from that one anime?"
"Ooh. Cultured."
"Off topic. Now, what are you? Are you really a monster girl, or is this a things that a Miraculous did?"
"You know about Miraculous, too?! Wait. Are you Ladybug?!"
"What? No. No I'm not."
"Awe." She sighed.
"So, Spider Miraculous? Neat."
"Yeah, but I best help take that windy foe down."
She walked right up the wall.
"You just stay safe until the threat is handled." She shot a web and off she went.
"Rachnera? Kind of cool... Even if I don't like spiders..."
Ladybug was blown back, hitting a wall.
"This is ridiculous..."
Chat landed next to her, in a scorpion pose.
"Don't you mean... This, blows?" He chuckled.
"How are we supposed to beat them?" She held up her lucky charm.
"How does a toy spider help in this fight?"
"Pay attention!" Sweepgust flew between them and blew them into a dump truck.
"Twister drip!" From his hands, two mini tornadoes blasted at them like drills. The heroes landed, then spun their weapons in order to hold back his attacks.
"I can't hold this for too long, Malady..."
"I can't either..."
Thud!
"
Huh?" The heroes looked on top of the truck, too see a Spider Woman.
"What?!" Chat let out.
"A-another one?!"
She smirked before jumping onto the wall then leaped from wall to wall, creating a thick webbed wall, stopping the attack.
"Why'd she save us?" Chat asked.
"I don't know but I think she's on our side."
"Akumatized ally? Is that possible?"
"Unsure, but right now, that's all we might know."
They nodded before the spider landed on the web in front of them.
"We finally meet. The Miraculous Ladybug, and the adorable Chat Noir."
"I prefer handsome actually." Chat replied, smirking at Ladybug.
"Who are you?"
"Who I am you ask..." She landed in front of them, causing them to step back.
"My, my, my." She licked her lips.
"You two look so..." She grabbed them and hugged them.
"So cute!"
The heroes blushed as to where their faces were. They managed to pull themselves out.
"I figured you would be taller, then again, I do wield a monster type Kwami."
"Kwami? Wait, monster type? What do you mean?"
"GRRRAAAH!" Sweepgust finally tore open the web.
"Huh. I figured he'd be smart enough to fly over." She turned towards him.
"Ladydoll, have you got a plan?"
"Uh..." She looked around and at the toy spider, then at the spider and the villain.
"Yes. I just hope whatever your powers are, they work for my plan."
She gave Ladybug a wink.
After a quick explanation while hold back another attack, they spread out, Chat charged him while, Ladybug and Rachnera went left and right.
Chat kept the fight up close and personal, leaving Sweepgust from using some of his attacks.
"Ever heard of the five foot rule?"
"Yeah, but I always liked standing in front of the fan." Chat pinned before tripping him. He went to Hit him while he was down but stopped when he seen his hand up, visible wind in it.
"Here's a on up close breeze for ya."
With that, a burst of wind blew Chat through the air and Sweepgust back as he turned and flew into the air.
"Ha! Now, time to sweep up what I came for."
"Hey Gusty." Rachnera yelled before webbing his face.
"What the?" He started using a small twister to cut it away.
"You pesky insect." He dashed at her, to which she gave a devilish grin. There were multiple strings connected to her fingers as she pulled, causing a super tight web wall to pop up in front of him. He hits it and was ricocheted back, before hitting a wall and bursting through it. He slow walked out, holding his head, but as he looked up, he was duel kicked by Ladybug and Chat. Sweepgust was knocked out cold, or so it seemed. When Chat went to grab the broom that was now a staff, off of his back, Gust jumped up, smacking their heads together then using the twister drill on them, sending them into the dump truck again but this time, knocking it over.
"Hahahahaha. You think I was that easy? Not me. Now, enough games. I'm taking your miraculous and then that spiders too."
"Heh. Just the perfect opening." She used her claws and a green flash and he had green claws marks on him.
"What the?! What... Is this..."
Gust was slowly feeling dizzy, sick, and weaker.
"Another power of mine, Poison Shot. In small doses, you get sick and dizzy." Gust went to blast her away but nothing. He then hit the ground with his staff, making a dome of wind around him.
"I... I just need to wait... Then I can..."
Rachnera's claws grabbed his face through the dome.
"You'll be able to fight and beat me, right?"
"How did... You...."
"Its hard to focus when you're sickly, isn't it?" She took the staff.
"Hey Hawkmoth, you can hear me, right? Listen, I know I'm not as important to you as Ladydoll and kitty noir over there, but don't underestimate me. Cause of they get to where they can't stop you, I will not hesitate to put down the enemy..."
She looked looked into his eyes, know Hawkmoth was watching. She face was serious but with a scary smirk.
" By AnY mEaNs NeCeSsArY ! "
She broke the staff and laid Gust down.
"Ladydoll. You're up."
Ladybug, hearing everything, was slightly scared but captured the Akuma and fixed everything.
"Miss Spider..."
"Rachnera."
"Rachnera. We heard what you said to Hawkmoth and..."
"Yes. I did mean I would go as far as taking lives."
"But, we're supposed to protect not kill. It's pur duty to..."
"To keep Paris safe. Right?"
They looked at each other.
Rachnera sighed and went over and placed her hands on her cheeks.
"Alright. Let's make a promise..."
She let go and looked at them.
"If there comes a time, or reason, where I'll have no choice but to kill my enemy, Ladybug, I'm sorry but I won't hesitate. I will keep this place safe. So please, let's just work together so I won't ever have to." She smiles at ladybug and cat noir.
They promised and as all the miraculous beeped, they pounded it, and went their separate ways.
As the outro started, everything stops.
Wait. What about Lila?
"Why aren't you answering Mari?! Are you okay?! Ladybug fixed everything so please answer the phone!"
"Lila?" Marinette said, answering.
"It said I had... 99 miss calls, and you were 95 of them..."
Next was fast, worried sounds from Lila's end.
"Sweetie. Just meet me at the park."
Lila agreed and sprinted the whole way.
After Marinette got there she seen a panicky Lila looking everywhere.
"S-she's super worried huh?"
She spots her.
"Hey li-LA?!" She was tackled her into the grass, under a tree.
"I was so worried, Mari!" Lila had tears in her eyes.
"Lila..."
"I though that the wind man might have blown you away causing you to...to..."
"Look at me, Lila." Marinette held her face so she stared into her eyes.
"I'm alright. I promise."
"Mari..." She sniffles.
They looked at each other, not realizing they were in public, they slowly got closer, but one year fell, and landed in Marinette's eye.
"Ah?!"
"Huh?"
"Tear." She giggled. "Right in my eye."
They laughed.
"Mari."
"Yes Lila?"
"We almost kissed in public..."
"Oh crap! We almost did?!"
There was a pause before they let out a bit of laughter.
"It's getting late, Lila. Can I walk you home?"
"Of course, love." She winked and kisses her cheek.
They get there, in the pouring rain.
"Well, I guess I should head home."
"No way." Lila said, taking her hand and bringing her inside.
"Not in that weather. Call your parents. You're staying over."
"But..."
"Nuh-uh. Call."
Marinette sighed and called her parents and they were fine with the idea.
"Ok. Love you guys. Good night."
After showers and Getting Mari something something to sleep, they go to Lila's room and all she had was a single bed, but as you know, they don't mind.
Lila.
She's so lovable and sweet.
Very caring and protective.
Adrian.
Handsome and sweet.
Clueless but very caring too.
They are both lovable really...
Heck... Can I choose?
And who should I...
...
"Mari."
"Huh? Oh. Yes Lila?"
"... Never mind. It's nothing."
"Lila. Come on."
" I... Well. Can I take you out? For dinner tomorrow?"
"Like a date?"
She nodded.
"Lila..." Mari smiled and pecked her lips.
"Yes."
Lila smiled as they cuddled all night, enjoying the sweet embrace of each other.
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout...
Sounds of claws could be heard walking.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out...
The shadow of Rachnera could be seen on the wall, and with a flash, the spider parts were gone and she was back to a normal human.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain...
She sits in her chair, staring out her window. Her Kwami sitting on her thigh.
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
"So, what do we do now, Arachni, dear?"
"I've already told you, my sweet Venom. Get ready for my new job."
She smiled.
"See you tomorrow, Françoise Dupont."
