This akuma was desperate. Hawkmoth had sensed the anger and pain from the man whose wife was going to put him behind bars. Did she really think he'd let her get away? his orange jumpsuit and chains became the newest villain, with a violent urge to take out every female in his site starting with the bitch who tried to put him away for putting her in her place. The chains dragged and clanked behind him as he ascended upon her home. "Honey... I'm home..." He almost purred though it came out animalistic; his hold on the doorknob reduced it to a broken lump of metal as he threw the door open. Her screams were cut short but not before the neighbors heard and the police were called.

"There seems to be a deathly Akuma roaming the streets targeting females. I advise everyone to stay inside until our heroes arrive and end this new Terror on Paris." The Newscaster spoke into the camera and Adrien Agreste watched from his phone and shook his head exasperated, slipping out of fencing class he opened his bag.

"Plagg we have t- Did you already eat all of that cheese?!" He groaned at his Kwamis appetite but pulled off his glove. "We don't have time for this, Plagg Transform me!"

Marinette Dupen-Cheng was walking home when she heard the screaming; running towards the cries for help and opening her bag. "Tikki Transform me!" in the flash of light she whips out her yoyo flying onto the scene. Her eyes widen in horror at the scene laid out before her. She turned to see Chat Noir with a expression mirroring hers.

"What happened…"

"Chat we have to stop them before they hurt someone else! Where is Jade Turtle and Le Rouse?" she asked already circling her yo yo and swinging it to a lamp post near the akuma. Chat shrugged helplessly and quickly followed after her.

The akuma seemed to be almost made of metal. Or at least that's how it felt to Chat Noir whenever he kicked or hit the guy. The thing was massive, not as big as Stone Heart but he was close enough, if Chat wasn't so preoccupied with fighting he'd make a name up for the thing. Names later though; He dodged the chains coming at him trying to deflect the attention off his lady, dont think he didn't notice how this akuma was only targeting females and he won't let her end up a on the floor broken like any of this things other victims. He watched the familiar flash of red as she dodged and ducked his attacks and slid under him and stands beside chat. "I think it's time I used my lucky charm." she sounded breathless, she had be pulling as many people as she could to safety and now it was just them. He suddenly wished for Jade Turtle and le Rouse to be here.

Where the hell are they?

Nino and Alya may or may not have gotten detention for goofying off in class… or kissing behind the school. Either way they sighed and sat in the class with Kim and Alix who were also in detention for knocking the principle over during a race. Nino was the newest miraculous holder. It had occurred when master Fu himself came to the boy. A certain kitty might have dropped the hint but it was Fu who saw himself in the lay back boy and while he was still learning he never knew how hard it was being a hero. Though Fu retired as a miraculous holder Nino often visited him for advice and guidance; he would, after all, be the last one left to pass down the current holders had passed on. It was a depressing weight he carried every time he looked at his teammates. "Thank god for Ladybugs lucky charm or I'd be a walking bruised banana". Nino muttered under his breath as Wayzz napped in his bag. Oblivious to the destruction wreaking havoc on his beloved city, he's also oblivious to his girlfriend being his superhero partner but that's a story for another time.

Alya on the other hand saw the broadcast about their latest foe because, her phone alerts her whenever an akuma attacks. It was especially hard to run her blog about ladybug now when juggling being a superhero too, her Kwami wasn't much help either all she did was complain while trying to convince Alya that being sneaky isn't a bad thing. She tapped her foot irritated wishing she could find a way out of detention, but Ladybug and Chat Noir are the best they can handle it. God she remembers when she opened the box to find the fox miraculous on her bed and was so excited. She wasn't a pro like ladybug but her and Jade Turtle were welcomed with open arms, being this close to Ladybug and having her show Alya the ropes was a dream. Chat was more help with getting around the town since they had similar weapons but she could barely contain herself. How many times has she almost told Marinette her identity? Way to many.

She just hoped detention would end already.

"Lucky Charm-" Her hand had just went into the air to catch her latest charm that was going to save the day but, she suddenly felt as if she was detached from her body. Shock coarsed through her as she looked down to see a completely metal hand soaked in red protruding from her stomach; she couldn't even register the pain as copper seemed to fill her mouth choking off her words. Blood. She thought, the world seeming to go in slow motion as her eyes flickerd up to see Chat Noirs face with a expression shes never seen before.

Time started up again.

The thing pulled his fist back as Ladybug let out a choked noise, collapsing like a broken doll right into Chat Noirs arms. "No no no Ladybug are you okay?!" What a dumb question, but it was impulse.

"C-Chat" Her voice sounded wrecked and muffled. "The… Akuma…"

Chat just shook his head. "Don't talk my Lady i'm going to get you help" He looked up, searching for civilians, someone. Anyone? "Help! Help she's dying!" his voice cracked as her blood seemed to soak through his suit. His hands were shaking as he took one of hers, the other supporting her head. "Stay, stay with me god dammit! HELP US" He screamed. The akuma already off to find the latest victim.

"K-Kitty…"

Ba-bump

She never uses that nickname normally. His eyes were blurry with tears as he stared at her.

Ba-bump

"I… I don't want to die." She managed to whisper.

Ba-bump

Tears slipped out her own eyes as he saw a steady trickle of blood passing her lips as she took a shuddering breath.

There was only silence.

The only heart he could hear was his own. Before his own eyes she seemed to wither. Her body looking as if a mist lay over it, he couldn't tell from the flow of tears.

"No, no no no please, my Lady no don't do this to me. Ladybug. Ladybug wake up. Wake up. Don't leave me alone Ladybug please dear god no don't please wake up LADYBUG" his screams echoed through the empty streets.

He pressed his lips to hers gently as he lowered her to the floor. Closing her still open eyes as he stood up. He turned to see the trail of blood. Ladybugs blood. Leading the way to the akuma. He wasn't going to get away, with a cry of fury, his emotions so rampant he didn't even need his catch phrase to activate the cataclysm as he slammed his hand into the monster's back.

Black cracks erupted over the akuma and the person it held as the power of destruction wrecked both the body and hawkmoths creation. He watched as the monster crumbled to dust on the floor.

He turned and ran to go back to his lady but stopped seeing her charm forgotten on the ground. It was a Pillow, red with black polka dots of course. He picked it up and stared at it, his insides and body feeling numb. Like this was all a dream and he could wake up tomorrow and see her smile when the patrolled. Her laughter at his jokes. The way she'd roll her eyes but smiled at him even when he was being dumb. Maybe he could go to bed and none of this would have happened.

He threw the Lucky Charm in the air, "Lucky Charm!" Maybe it would work. Maybe she would come back and everything would be okay-

The Pillow fell back to the ground with a soft thud.
