Chapter 4: Stuck

Adrien groaned as he struggled to awaken from his deep sleep. He was so sore, he couldn't possibly get up now. His head throbbed in pain, and his arms and legs felt like jello. The last thing that he remembered was being surrounded by illusions from Lila, then everything had gone black.

When he finally opened his eyes, he was puzzled by his surroundings. He was inside a giant empty indoor pool which seemed to be in some sort of large room. There were mildew stains everywhere, and many small critters were crawling around on the pool floor. The walls were made of dingy old wooden planks, and there was a random speaker on the one opposite him.

"Huh, that seems oddly out of place," Adrien pondered aloud.

Then, he looked down and realized that he was chained to the bottom of the pool.

"What the-?!" he shouted as he struggled against his bonds.

Suddenly, they began glowing and tightened their grip on him.

"Aah!" he screamed in pain.

It's getting difficult to breathe, he thought, Maybe I should just hang tight.

Right then, he could hear a Lila's voice coming from all sides.

"Hello Adrien. Are you comfortable?" she giggled.

"Lila! Where are you? Show yourself!"

"Nuh uh uh! That would ruin all the fun!" she laughed evilly.

"Why am I here? What do you want with me?" he screamed angrily.

"I think you know what I want, but I have to dispose of you first to get it!"

He came to a sudden realization, "Plagg? Plagg! Where are you?"

He looked down at his hand and saw that his ring still there, but Plagg was missing.

"What have you done with Plagg?!" he questioned.

"Oh don't you worry, I'm taking good care of him!"

The tone of her voice suggested otherwise.

"Where is he? Where are my friends?"

"You don't need to worry about them. In fact, you should probably just worry about yourself right now!"

"Why…?" he looked around and realized where he was again.

"Oh."

"Exactly! I have to get rid of you by order of Hawkmoth," she said.

"You work for Hawkmoth?!" he shouted.

"That's what he thinks, but there is an alternative to dying."

"What's that?" Adrien had a feeling he knew where this was going.

"You could make my job a whole lot easier and less fun by removing it of your own free will."

"Never!"

"Oh well, I guess I'll have to kill you then."

She seemed very happy with herself.

"Oh, by the way, you can't move, and you better not, because if you do, one of your friends' traps will activate, and they will die! Oh and the chains of course."

"Traps?"

"Yes, Adrien. Cats hate water after all, don't they?"

Adrien gulped nervously.

"As soon as your girlfriend gets here, Nino's will activate, and it will only be a matter of time before he is dead. If she manages to save him, then Alya's will activate, then Chloe's, and then yours."

"No! You won't get away with this!" he yelled.

"Oh Adrien, I already have," she said before the speaker shut off, and her voice was gone.

Alya opened her eyes and tried to come to grips with her surroundings.

She hadn't been prepared for that attack out of the blue. Lila had come out of nowhere, and now she had to deal with the consequences.

She looked around trying to find an escape, but the room had no door, and there was no seam for one either (well, not one that she could see anyway). There were only weird small holes in the metallic wall. Fluorescent lights burned brightly above her, providing the room with light.

"Where am I? Trixx? Are you there? Hello?" Alya asked out loud.

"Sorry, but Trixx isn't there, it's just me," Lila replied from seemingly all around her.

"Lila!" Alya growled, "What have you done to Trixx? Where are my friends?"

"Sorry, but that's classified information. All you need to know is that your boyfriend will be in grave peril soon enough."

"What have you done with him?"

"That is none of your concern because as soon as he is gone, you will be next."

"No! Leave him alone!" Alya cried.

"Sorry, but I can't do that. I need your miraculous, and to get it, you must be dead."

"What?"

"Au revoir!" she said before her voice was gone, and Alya was left in silence.

Chloe looked around after she opened her eyes. She didn't know where she was or how she had gotten there. All she knew was that she was panicking. Anyone that was chained to a wall in a mysterious room would be. The only thing that stood out about the room was an odd speaker on the wall and scuff marks on the floor. There was also a door opposite her which she assumed was locked.

"What am I supposed to do?" she cried out. Then she moaned in pain. She was badly bruised, and her head hurt like crazy.

"Wait a minute, I'm a superhero now. I can just transform and get myself out of this mess. Pollen? Hello? Where are you Pollen?" Chloe asked.

"Pollen isn't there," a voice responded.

"Lila?"

"Yes Chloe, it's me," she replied.

Then she remembered the battle in the office. Where was everyone?

"Where is everyone?" she asked.

"In a similar situation as you," she laughed.

"What do you mean?"

"A death trap you idiot!" Lila yelled.

Chloe winced at the loud noise.

"There is nothing scary about this room."

"Oh really? Notice those scuff marks on the floor? Those are from the walls moving. They will start moving inward as soon as Alya and Nino are dead, and when you're dead, Adrien will die, and I will have all the miraculous! Ladybug will have no choice but to give me hers as well because I will have absolute power!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

Chloe struggled against the chains and tried to escape.

"You might not want to do that! The walls are electrically charged, so even the smallest movement will trigger a shockwave. Toodles!"

"Aaaaah!" Chloe screeched as the electricity coursed through her, "No! Stop!" she tried again. Another shockwave.

She was hurting so badly, she thought she was going to die. Her lungs burned like fire, and her head was spinning.

"You won't… get away with… this…" she trailed off as everything went black again.

Nino was normally a chill dude. He laughed in the face of danger. He had even filmed a movie during an akuma attack, but right now…

He was absolutely TERRIFIED!

He was strapped to some sort of operating table with a metal laser looking thing aimed at his chest. He was in an old room with a speaker on the opposite wall that hung next to a metal door with at least three combination locks on it.

"Where the heck am I?! Wayzz? Alya? Adrien? Chloe? Aaah!" he screamed when he realized that he was alone. Or so he had thought.

"Hello Nino," a voice said.

"W-Who's there?" he stuttered.

"It's Lila, and I have some advice for you. You better not try to escape or the laser will turn on, and you will die. Well, you'll die anyway. When Ladybug gets here, it will have to charge up for five minutes before it can fire, but it'll still kill you. Then I can remove your miraculous.

Nino glanced at his wrist to see that his bracelet was still there. He mentally sighed in relief.

"Why didn't you just take it off?" Nino asked.

"Because it will be much easier when you're dead," she replied.

"Oh," he shuddered.

"Well, I need to go get ready to greet Ladybug, see you later. Oh wait! Nevermind! You'll be dead!" she cackled and the speaker turned off.

Hope you enjoyed that! Next chapter is "Let The Games Begin". Until tomorrow, TTFN!
