'Sorry, m'lady, but I'm about to change back! I entrust you to her!' As Chat Noir's ring flashed on its last pad, the hero dove out of sight down the side of the building, leaving his partner to fight Arachne on her own.
Arachne grinned menacingly. 'So, Ladybug, it's just you and me. Do you really think you can defeat me?' Despite the ferocity of her threats, they seemed a little less threatening due to the villain being pinned down by a rather heavy metal pole, and as Arachne struggled, Ladybug seized her chance to take the spider badge that dangled in the middle of her chest and break it in half. In the back of her mind, however, remained the thought that there was a hostage nearing the edge of the building, pushed back slowly by a rather large group of rather large spiders.
'You've been caught up in a web of lies, Arachne,' Ladybug sassed as she stomped on the badge and proceeded to capture the akuma that had lay within. 'Bye bye, little butterfly.'
The instant the akuma was captured was the instant that Arachne had changed back into her usual self - a brown eyed, black haired civilian named Aceline Martin.
'Excuse me, Miss, I will be right back,' Ladybug promised as she quickly helped Aceline from under the pole, her sole focus on the lady who had been near the edge of the roof; a blood-curdling scream erupted from behind her and as Ladybug turned around, she saw the hostage, now free from the silken weaves, falling backward off the rooftop, pure terror throughout her face.
Ladybug immediately jumped into action, diving after the lady, who was seemingly unconscious from the fall, and found herself in a terrible situation - as they both plummeted down, Ladybug could hear her Miraculous beeping, indicating that she would shortly turn back. Closer and closer to the ground they fell, before Ladybug used her yo-yo to slow their speed, but by the time they were about ten feet from the ground, Ladybug could feel herself about to detransform and found herself holding the hostage no longer as Ladybug, but as Marinette.
Quickly, she surveyed the area - not a soul to be found - and propped the hostage against the side of the building, calling for the ambulance and sitting with the unconscious lady until she was safe and sound before leaving to continue with her design venture. She was sure, after that, that she had a few new ideas up her sleeve.
