Hello everybody I have another chapter for you. I have decided to try and start increasing the word count in each of my chapters for all my stories. I plan on doing over 2,000 words in each chapter starting with chapter 5. Please enjoy this chapter I made sure to finish this chapter tonight (but now it's like 2am lol). Sorry about the delay. Here's chapter 4. Enjoy.

...

An Akuma struck again, early Thursday morning at roughly 3 am. Tikki woke me up with a shake to my head as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes.

"Tikki… What… is it?" I asked her as I turned over and pulled the blankets back up to my chin and cuddled into my cat shaped pillow. She flew back in front of my face and she nudged me muttering that an Akuma was wreaking havoc on Paris. Though I didn't want to, I got up anyways, and transformed into Ladybug. Jumping from my balcony, I swung through Paris and found my way to the Akuma who was a man who had a fight with his wife went by the Betrayed. He was a man I ran into quite often recently. His wife made them move to Paris from their quaint little country town. He had some trouble finding himself a job after the move because he had been a worker at a farm. His name was Randy before he became an Akuma.

"Hello, My Lady." Chat Noir said as he plopped down on the roof next to me. He was tired as well and I knew so because his words, though still filled with affection, but it was filled with exhaustion. His voice seemed so familiar but lately we are running on two or three hours of sleep. It's to the point that he could be Alya. That's how tired I was. "What do we got?" He added as he supported himself with his staff.

"The Betrayed. He's a kind man, Randy, just moved to town for his wife's job. He has two kids and a busy wife." I said as I took note of the Akuma. He was eight and a half feet tall. Sporting a military crew cut and a black uniform, both of which were not ones he'd been known to have, and to top it all off was the golden band like halo atop his head. "Randy had recently gotten a job at a supermarket as an after-hour stocker. He walked through the streets of Paris and destroyed a lot of things. How he saw it was; a light that was supposed to illuminate the area who "betray" you by not working, the hydrant that was supposed to make water readily available in case of a fire would instead spray the water all over the road, and his favorite betrayal seemed to have started to become the buildings as people came out of their houses he'd cause them to crumble. "Chat get everyone from here to the tower to evacuate the area." I barked orders towards Chat Noir knowing he knew I didn't mean to be rude despite how my words may have came out. I had an idea with how to fight this Akuma. I may not have to use my lucky charm if everything goes according to my plan. I used my yo-yo to fling myself next to the Akuma as I called out to him. "Hey Betrayed!" I shouted then slung myself across the street to his other side when he had gone to shoot me with a beam of golden light that originated from his halo. His attack seemed to go where ever his hand was directing it, so by zigzagging like this I should be able to lead him to the tower easily as I swung from light post to light post.

"Stop moving." He shouted as he ran after me. His height made him cover more ground as he ran but not enough for him to pass me. "All women are not loyal. They will ultimately betray those who care for them. So why don't I just speed up the process?" He asked. It seemed he didn't expect an answer since he had laughed a sadistic and crazed laugh that tore at my heart. The poor guy, I could only guess that the reason he got Akumatized because either his wife had cheated on him or it was because he believed she had.

"Maybe I don't feel like it." I tossed over my shoulder directed at him. A head I saw Chat direction a crowd of citizens towards the designated evacuation route in case of an Akuma attack. "What will you do if I don't?" I teased as I swung to the side of the road where if he shot a blast at me it would completely avoid hitting any citizens if I dodged. Which he did shoot at me and hit the light I was swinging on. I was about 50 yards from the tower, so I swung my yo-yo at the light across the street as the one I was on snapped because of the ray. I pulled on my yo-yo hard enough that as I swung up I flew higher than if I had just hung on like I previously had been. I then launched my weapon at the tower and the string wrapped around one of the beams allowing me to swing farther and faster. I lead the Akuma safely to the tower. Along the way there had been no injuries to the civilians which I was proud of. The more damage I had to repair the less of my wounds that got healed because My aunt had me storing my magical energy for a seal she had me learning. All Cheng maidens were made to get this seal upon their 18th birthday, but because I had activated my abilities I was made to charge this seal earlier than the others.

As he approached the Eiffel tower he had tried to climb the tower to where I was he kept encountering difficulties because he was unable to do so. Either he couldn't jump high enough to grab the rail, or he'd slip back to the ground from any progress he made when climbing up the legs of the towers. He let out a frustrated yell and his halo released a beam in a 360-degree circle around him that caused the legs of the tower to crumble underneath its own weight. The legs gave a sickening crunch sound and the tower shacking and falling, in the direction of the evacuated houses, caused me to lose balance. Before I had a chance to even try to help myself avoid landing on the ground, Chat had caught me as he had used his baton to come up to m level.

"So, what's the plan now bug-a-boo?" He asked with a wiggle of his brows.

"Let's find out." I said as I called for my lucky charm. It had ended up being a baseball bat.

"Well that's useful…" Chat mumbled as he sat us back onto the ground. Normally he was supportive, but I could understand why he was skeptical about this one. Bats are used for hitting things close you but when you can't get too close to an enemy because they can shoot beams at you it's hard to get too close. Looking around I saw the Betrayed's legs, Chat's baton, his belt, the bat, and my reflection in a nearby puddle light up in a familiar red and black pattern.

"Okay Chat. Here's what we are going to do…" I whispered the plan in his ear and he made a flirtatious joke in my ear about how if I wanted him close that all I had to do was ask. He chuckled when I made a "shoo" motion towards him. He called for the attention of the Akuma, undid his belt, then ran towards the Akuma. He then used his staff to flip himself over the Akuma's head and whipped him with the belt as he did this. When Chat had landed the Akuma then shot a beam at the hero, who easily dodged it, and yelled out in frustration. He hadn't seen me coming, I prepped the bat with a test swing as he fired the beam at my partner then I ran at he as he had readied anther beam. I was just about to hit the halo right off of his head when a loud pop sounded through the nearly empty tourist attraction. Just as the Bat was about to connect with the halo my arm was pushed back roughly and felt like it was on fire.

Looking to the source of the noise I saw Randy's wife Sara. Sara normally was a beautiful and sophisticated woman. She'd wear silk button up blouses, her hair in a bun, studs in her ears, and a long black skirt that went just below her knees that was slightly skin tight. That wasn't the case now though. Sara looked disheveled. Her hair was messy, her blouse was buttoned incorrectly, her eyes were hollow and lack and reflections of light, a halo rested above her head, and… Pointed directly at me…

…She held a freshly fired gun in her hands.
