Chapter 3

Chat leaned on his baton and said, "Ready when you are, Bugaboo."

"Let's go then, Chat," Ladybug said.

They both ran at her with Chat twirling his baton and Ladybug swinging her yo-yo. Fashaster started firing beams at them, but they managed to block them from touching their outfits.

"Just give us your akuma, Fashaster," Ladybug said as they ran around her, "it'll make this easier for all of us."

"Never," Fashaster spat, "my akuma will stay with me forever!"

"Not if we have anything to say about that," Chat said, trying to knock Fashaster over with his baton.

Ladybug, but Fashaster knocked her into the Disney store window, making the glass shatter around her. She sat up and wiped some blood off her face and said, "That's the last straw, Fashaster." She stood up and said, "Lucky Charm!" She had hoped to get something useful this time, but all she got was a ball of red yarn.

Chat landed next to her and said, "Well, I guess this is a cat-astrophe now." He then saw the cuts on Ladybug, as well as little rips in her outfit from the glass. "What happened, Bugaboo? Are you ok?"

"Stop fussing, Chat, we have an akuma to catch," she said, looking around for useful things. She looked at the yarn and the hands of Fashaster. "Ok, our plan is for me to get grabbed by Fashaster and tie her hands together. After that, you come in with your Cataclysm, and destroy the watch."

They both stood up and heard the beeping of Ladybug's miraculous.

"Great, now I only have four minutes left before I change back, stupid powers," Ladybug grumbled, touching her earrings. She walked into the center of the walkway, while Chat positioned himself in front of the store G.A.P. on the top level, waiting to drop down.

"Cataclysm," he hissed under his breath, holding out his hand.

Ladybug grew tired of standing around, waiting for Fashaster, so she walked over to the Directory, not noticing Fashaster creeping up behind her. Chat jumped down to the ground floor and crouched in the shadows, waiting for the time to strike.

Fashaster grabbed Ladybug from behind and Ladybug tied Fashaster's hands together, so she couldn't escape.

"Chat Noir, now!" Ladybug cried, dropping the yarn ball.

"My pleasure, Bugaboo." Chat said, running out of the shadows. He put his cataclysm hand on the watch, making it disintegrate. Ladybug slipped out of Fashaster's grasp and got her yo-yo out.

"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma," she said, capturing the glowing butterfly.

"Bye-bye, little butterfly," Ladybug said as she released the akuma.

While Ladybug dealt with the akuma, Chat's cat instincts kicked in and he pounced on the yarn ball that had slipped off the de-akumatised Fashaster.

"Chat, stop playing around and bring it he-," Ladybug grabbed her side and clenched her teeth, cutting off her word. Her miraculous beeped signifying she had very little time left before transforming back.
