Thank you for taking the tie to read this story. This is the first of quite a few chapters. I write the story as it goes. I have quite a plot panned for this one, so I hope you like where this chapter takes you. Please leave a review, message, and let me know what you think and what you would like to see. This story is from both viewpoints of Adrien and Marinette, and I hope build that relationship we are all dying to see happen in the show! ^_^
Side note: I do not own Miraculous Ladybug and Chat noir, or any of their characters. I just have a fun adventure I'd wish would happen but probably won't. So I write it here. Ok let's get started!
Chapter 1: Fighting for our lives
A yo-yo whizzed through the air and anchored onto a nearby light post. A flash of red swing by the pedestrians below. The people of Paris awed at the acrobatic performance their red and black spotted hero performed.
"It's Ladybug!" The crowd cheered below.
"Get to cover!" The hero called to the people below as she passed them. She wasn't sure what the akuma was capable of, but her call from Chat Noir had made it clear that it was not going to be an easy battle!
Ladybug made her way to Notre Dame Cathedral. She latched onto a gargoyle with her yo-yo, then tugged the twine like string to slowly pull herself up. As she reached the top a black leather hand with claw tips reached down.
"Need a paw LB?" The owner of the hand asked.
Ladybug smiled and grabbed her partner's hand. "Thanks, Chat Noir. I tried to get hear as fast as I could. Where is the akuma?"
"Over there," he said pointing to the Bourgeois Hotel.
A server dressed in black with an apron wrapped around her waist floated at the top of the hotel. "You little brats! You think you can just treat people like shit! I will show you what happens when you treat people the way you do!"
Chat's cat ears flattened against his head. "It appears one of our favorite people didn't treat a member of the restaurant staff too fondly."
Ladybug growled. "Chloe needs to stop doing this. This is the third akuma this week."
"Purrhaps, my lady, we should focus on taking down our akuma more than what caused it."
"You're right, Chaton. What do you know?"
"She's got a lot of silverware," Chat answered, rubbing his left shoulder. "And she can throw it."
"Chat, are you hurt?" Ladybug asked in panic. How has and not noticed?
"Just a bruise, my lady. Nothing to worry about. I'm just lucky she threw the spoons at me and not the forks." He smiled. Chat Noir hated when his lady worried about him. He's sure his arm was going to have a giant welt, but just hoped that she could toss the lucky charm in the air and take care of it.
"Well then we need to go in with a plan. Any idea where the akuma is on her?" Ladybug couldn't help but feel slightly concerned for Chat Noir. He rarely shared if he was in pain, and when he did let anything slip he was in serious pain.
"The akuma is in the check book next to the knives."
Ladybug frowned. "Well, that will be difficult to get to. If we could get a hold of her apron that could solve a lot of our problems."
"You got a plan bugaboo?"
"I believe I do. Can you keep her busy?"
Chat Noir winked. "I will do my best, my lady."
"Follow my lead," Ladybug smirked and tossed her yo-yo out to a nearby light post. Chat Noir followed, pole vaulting over every light post.
Ladybug Landed on the rooftop across the street from the akumatized victim. "I understand that you are angry, but shouldn't you be waiting on tables, not hotel roofs?"
The villain smiled. "Ah, Ladybug. So nice of you to join. I am Wait-Stress. Hand over your miraculous so I don't serve you the same dish as your partner."
"You gave me the wrong order lady!" Chat Noir snuck up from behind Wait-Stress, swinging his staff over his head, and straight down towards the woman.
She pulled out a menu to block the staff. "Nice try, but cat is not on the menu!" She flicked the head of the menu that sent Chat Noir flying backwards.
"Chat Noir!" Ladybug cried getting her yo-yo cocked and ready to be thrown. However, the villain was already prepared for Ladybugs attack and maneuvered her body so she could toss rolled up silverware at Ladybug. She spun her yo-yo in self-defense.
"Don't make this order difficult," the Wait-stress crackled. Just hand over your miraculous so I can return with your impending doom." She tossed forks this time at the heroine's feet. Pieces of roof tile shot up.
"Not if I can help it! Lucky Charm!" Ladybug tossed her yo-yo in the air and retrieved a red with black dotted bottle filled with Ketchup. "Oh great," Ladybug rolled her eyes. "How am I supposed to use this?"
Her eyes scanned the area looking for condiment use inspiration. She looked behind the villain to see Chat Noir climbing back onto the roof. An idea sprung into her head. "Chat Noir! Use this!"
She threw the Ketchup to him as if she were throwing a pitch in baseball. The Wait-Stress tried to reach for the bottle, but she was too slow. The black cat jumped up and caught the condiment. Without much thought to how the ketchup would be used, her squeezed the bottle right into the Wait-Stress' face. She screamed in pain as the acidic sauce managed to make its way into her eyes. Ladybug was quick and tossed her yo-yo around the checkbook in the woman's apron pocket.
"No!" Screamed the woman whipping the red paste out of her eyes.
Ladybug broke the checkbook and a purple butterfly flew from it. "Time to de-evilize!" She tossed her yo-yo at the butterfly and catches it. She opens up the yo-yo and a white butterfly flies away.
Chat tossed the ketchup bottle to the red hero. Ladybug catches it and gets ready to toss the bottle in the air.
"You won't stop me! The Wait-Stress screams getting up and running towards Ladybug. She picks up a broken tile from the building roof they are on. She raised the tile charging at the hero who was now looking away.
Chat Noir pieced the situation together. Ladybug was not going to be able to protect herself and call cleanse the city at the same time. "Ladybug, watch out!" He called out to her as he began to sprint towards the Wait-Stress. He needed to be fast. He took out his staff and threw it at the woman. He was successful and it hit her in the head and bounced toward the street, but he was too late.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" The spotted hero tossed the ketchup bottle in the air.
Clunk! The Wait-Stress made her final move and smacked Ladybug in the side of her head with the tile. Ladybug tumbled for a moment, flopping to her knees and then toppled off the side of the three story building. A crowd of people below screamed.
Chat's heart panicked. Without hesitation he dove off the building as Ladybug began to topple off the building. A red ring of light began to form around her. "No," he whispered as he saw pink shoes form around her feet. He latched himself around his lady, keeping her face covered from the public below. Chat reached a claw behind his back for his staff, but it wasn't there. He saw it was falling as well a good distance away. He had forgotten he threw it.
The ground was creeping closer. Chat Noir's eyes grew large with panic. He couldn't and let all these people see who his Lady was. He couldn't catch them, though because his staff was out of reach. He didn't have time to think. He only had time to react. He reached out his right claw straight towards the ground. "Cataclysm!" He yelled as he hit the street.
The street rolled as if it were a pond and Chat Noir was a pebble that had been tossed in. The rippling road knocked pedestrians and bystanders down and out of the way, and the the cataclysm epicenter deteriorated into a gaping hole that had now swallowed Chat Noir with Ladybug.
Chat noir tried to reposition his body. His night vision helped him see that that he was falling deep. He flipped himself and Ladybug so they were now falling feet first. With his right claw still free he clung his left arm tight around his lady and began to drag his arm down the side of the wall of the hole. The jagged, uneven sides twisted his shoulder in every possible directing. He yelled out in pain as his elbow hit the sharp edge of something.
By a stroke of luck Chat's ear picked up on a metal clank and right above him, his staff had fallen in. With a very painful movement he removed his right hand from the wall and grabbed the staff and extended it down. He wrapped both legs around himself and the unconscious Ladybug wait for the poll to hit the bottom. With a jolt, he felt the bottom. Slowly he bag to try and control the speed he and his partner slid down the staff.
Finally when his feet reached the bottom he collapsed, keeping Ladybug on his chest. He couldn't look at her. It would not be fair to find out her identity because she was injured. His miraculous beeped. Chat Noir sat up, knowing he may not have his night vision for long. He wanted to know where he and his partner had fallen.
He gulped as he looked around. They were in a tunnel, marked by multi colored paint with arrows pointing down each edge. He jumped as he looked at the ground of the tunnel. It was littered with bones, and skulls. Human remains stuck out of the walls. He gulped. Chat Noir now knew exactly where they had landed; 60 meters below the city in the catacombs of Paris.
