Chapter 35

Lightning crashes as dark clouds gather in the sky, above City Hall.

Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Flash face off against Reverse Flash and Falena Falco. Ladybug and Cat Noir's faces, covered in blood and bruises.

Ladybug: You're not going to get away with this!
And I'm not going to let you, either!

Falena Falco: Oh, but you see, Ladybug. We're just getting started.

Ladybug and Flash both charge towards their respective adversaries.

(WHOOSH!) (ZOOOOM!)

Flash and Reverse Flash rushing around the surrounding area, landing multiple punches on one another, launching each other into the surrounding structures.

(ZPOW, ZPOW! BOOOM! ZPOW! BANG! ZPOW! CRACK!)

Meanwhile, Falena Falco fends off Ladybug and Cat Noir's attacks. She knocks back Cat Noir, with a kick, before swiping at the red and black superhero with her cane.

(SWOOSH, SWOOSH!)

Falena Falco: Hold still, you mangy insect!

As she raises her cane in the air for another powerful strike, Ladybug whirls her yoyo and uses it like a shield.
Before Cat Noir leaps in, and fights her using his staff.
As Reverse Flash pins Flash by the throat and lifts him off the ground.

Reverse Flash: Face it, Flash! Now that you're reduced to a teenager, you're powerless to stop me!

Flash: (Strains) Don't…count...on it, Thawne!

Ladybug lassos the villain's neck with her yoyo.

(Ziiip, CRACK!)

Reverse Flash: GRRK! KAAACK!

Ladybug yanks her yoyo, and pulls Thawne away from Flash, before swinging the yellow-clad speedster around, and as Cat Noir continues battling Falena Falco, he leaps away, and she turns around to see her associate come flying towards her.

Falena Falco: Huh?!

(BAAAAM! UNNHH!)

The two villains get knocked to the ground, but Thawne gets knocked unconscious.
And as Falena Falco reaches for her cane, Ladybug steps on the weapon just as Falco reaches for it, while Cat Noir goes to check on Flash.

Ladybug: Don't even try it, Lila!

Falena Falco: I told you…

Falena Falco gets up and knocks the young superheroine back.

Ladybug: WAAAAH!

Falena Falco: My name is Falena Falco!

Ladybug quickly gets to her feet and stands, ready to fight again.

Falena Falco: You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this.

Ladybug: Oh, give me a break! I'm in no mood for games.

Falena Falco approaches Ladybug and speaks softly.

Falena Falco: (Whispers) Not even for an old friend, Marinette?

Ladybug's eyes grow wide in shock.

Ladybug: You…you mean-?!

Falena Falco: That's right, I know your secret identity. And I'll let you know something else.

She leans in closer.

Falena Falco: (Whispers) Your father didn't kill your mother. I killed her and framed your father.

Ladybug suddenly becomes horrified.

Ladybug: W-what?!

Falena Falco: Yes. It was my blade that pierced your mother's heart. She died quickly, in case you're wondering.

(*Flash's interior monologue.)

*Flash: "And that was it. That was the final straw for her."

Ladybug grits her teeth in fury.

*Flash: "Now, I know Marinette had a tendency to lash out in anger if pushed too far."

She balls up her fists, the feeling quickly consuming her entire being.

*Flash: But this?! This wasn't anger. This was pure, unbridled, rage."

Ladybug narrows her eyes and screams in fury.

Ladybug: RRRAAAAAAAHH!

As she charges towards her purple-clad adversary, she draws her first back before delivering a powerful right hook. Blood spills from Falena Falco's mouth.

Ladybug: YOU'RE GOING TO PAY, LILA!
