We all know Chat loves Ladybug, but what would happen if something happened to her and he snapped?


"CHAT!"

Adrien's heart had never sunk as low as it did when her voice hit him. The frantic tone in her voice worked more effectively than any of his father's cold actions towards him.

His eyes snapped open, not caring at the dust that stung his eyes. Panic rose as he saw his spotted partner struggling to get her pinned leg out from a pillar that had fallen from the explosion the akuma had caused. He was at her leg in an instant, trying to lift the pillar off of her.

"Are you hurt?" he asked, cursing at himself for being so careless and rushing the akuma without caution.

She shook her head, which Adrien did not see. "No, I'm not hurt, the suit protected me somehow…"

"You're one lucky bug," he said, not smiling despite the playfulness in his voice as he failed to free her leg.

A loud cackle boomed across the city, catching the attention of the two heroes. "Hand over your Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir before I burn both of you into a crisp!" The akumatized man, now Electricackle, was dressed in a white skin tight suit, a lightning symbol half gleaming on his chest, hovering on electrical currents a foot above the street. The akuma itself was hidden in the black rubber gloves that the heroes had been attempting to get.

Adrien saw the flicker of hesitation across the features of Ladybug, the shadow of doubt that he never wanted to see in those bluebell eyes of hers. "Never!" he yelled, standing defensively in front of his Lady as he reached instinctively for his baton only to realize it wasn't at the place on his belt. "We'd rather die than give you the pleasure of surrender."

Her hand pushed against the back of his calf, trying to move him. "Chat! Don't! Save yourself I'm only a liability."

The akumatized victim shrugged. "Suit yourself." His folded arms began to unfold.

Adrien balled his hands into fists. "My Lady, with all due respect, I will ignore your wish."

"Chat!"

He could feel Plagg bristle in his ring and suit. "I will protect you to my very last breath. Even if it is in vain."

"CHAT!"

Electricackle raised his hands to the air. "I've been only using small fractions of all the electricity I stored up, but for this…" he looked at the two heroes on the other side of the street. "The fall of Paris' greatest heroes, it deserves all the electricity I collected! Then your Miraculouses will be mine!"

"CATACLYSM!" roared Adrien.

"CHAT JUST RUN! FORGET ME!" she was choking back a sob.

Adrien paused and looked back at her as he felt the familiar destructive energy in his right hand form. "How could I forget you?"

"Goodbye! Heroes of Paris," sneered Electricackle.

"How could I forget the girl who changed my life?" He turned back, seeing the electricity in Electricackle's hands aim at him and his Lady. "The one who stole my heart?!"

The electricity surged from the black gloves of Electricackle, towards Ladybug and Chat Noir.
