Ladybug groaned and opened her eyes. Her sight was blurry at first, but she adjusted to the sight of the room she was in after a minute or two. "Ah, you're awake." A voice said. The sound of footsteps grew louder and louder, and left Ladybug nervous. A tall man appeared, a man she hadn't seen before. He had a black mask covering his face and a purple tuxedo with deep blue eyes. In his hands, he was holding a needle with some kind of medicine in it that would knock Ladybug out. She noticed the medicine and instantly tried to free herself from the straps that restrained her from attacking. She was tied to a chair and her weapons were taken away from her. "Oh, don't even try it, Ladybug. It's pointless." He said. "Now, I have this special medicine that I could use on you any time if I wanted to. That is, if you put up a fight." "What do you want from me!?" "Your Miraculous." He said, glaring down at her. "I need it." "No way in hell." "Oh, I don't think so." The man kneeled down on one knee, grabbed Ladybug's chin and held the needle in front of her face, allowing her to get a good look at it. "Because this isn't some kind of normal drug, no. This…will kill you." "You can torture me, beat me, and do whatever the hell you want to me. But you're never getting anything." "Really? We'll see about that." The man stood up and let go of Ladybug, then turned around and pointed at the screen that appeared on the wall. The screen was showing Chat Noir, fighting the wolves on the same rooftop that she left him on. "That's-" "Chat Noir." Her eyes widened as she watched Chat fall to his knees in pain, with blood running out of his deep wounds that the wolves gave him. She could hear his screaming, and she could feel his pain in her heart. "Oh, Chat.." She whispered to herself. Her voice cracked and small tears formed in her eyes. "My servants will kill your beloved Chat Noir if you refuse to hand over the Miraculous. If you resist, then not only you will die, but he will as well. Loup Blanc here-"He continued, glancing to the other who stepped beside him from the shadows. "His wolves will take Chat's Miraculous as well." "You want me to give you my Miraculous, and if I don't, then you'll kill me and Chat?" The man smirked and crossed his arms. "Sorry, old man." She said, smiling. "But I got news for you. Chat is the strongest person I know. He's not going to be taken down by some pathetic-" Ladybug stopped herself after hearing a loud scream coming from Chat Noir. "You were saying?" He asked with a snicker. "Oh, you're dead meat, pal." "That's funny," Loup Blanc began "Because I'm pretty sure you're the one who'll be dead within the next few minutes." "Kill me." She said. "Kill me, I don't care. You can have my Miraculous, but you can't have Chat's." The two of them glanced at each other, then back at Ladybug. The man nodded at Loup, then walked into the shadows and was gone. Loup stepped closer to Ladybug with a chuckle, then threw his fist across her face, leaving a red mark on her cheek. "We'll see about that."
"Dammit…" Chat muttered, helping himself up off the ground. "I have to get to Marinette…I have to save her…" "I don't think so, pretty boy." More and more wolves appeared, and more blood was spilled out of Chat's wounds. He panted and covered his mouth as he coughed up blood. "I promised her…" He said to himself. "I promised I'd save her…I promised…" "Aw, is the poor kitty upset that he can't save his precious Ladybug?" One of the wolves asked with a grin. "Yeah, actually I am." Chat responded. "But, when I make a promise, I never break that promise." He wiped his mouth and watched the wolves step closer to him. Though his legs were weak as the rest of his body, Chat forced himself to stand up and take defense. He squinted his eyes at the wolves until he saw a light purple glow around their faces. The figure around their eyes seemed to be shaped like a butterfly. The sight of this left Chat with a snicker. "So…You're Hawk Moth's, aren't ya?" He asked, picking up his staff once again and pointing it to the alpha wolf. "You're under his control." He took a moment to examine their bodies, until something caught his eye. Their collars. Yes, the silver chains around their necks with a dim glow on them. "Perfect." Chat murmured. He took a deep breath then ran towards the wolves, sliding on his back and passing underneath one of the large wolves, grabbing onto the collar and yanking it off it's neck. The wolf whimpered, then shook it's head and looked around. He continued this process for the other five wolves, but then there was one left; The Alpha. The one that was in charge of his pack, the one that took orders from his master, and the one that was hardest to take care of. "Look, why don't we make this easier and just hand over the Miraculous. Then you and your Ladybug chick can run off as normal people with a normal life." Chat laughed then shook his head, glaring at the wolf as he circled around Chat, waiting for the right moment to attack. "Hey, I got an idea, why don't you go back to Hell where you belong!" The wolf barked at Chat then leaped off the ground and charged towards Chat, opening his mouth to bite down on his flesh once again. Chat ducked, tricking the wolf into jumping over him, then turned around once the wolf went at him again. "It's useless. Just give up!" The wolf opened it's arms and pounced onto Chat. Chat held his staff in front of him, blocking the wolf from biting him. Their eyes met. Blood Crimson v.s. Lime Green. They eyed each other while the wolf bit down on the staff, trying to get to Chat's face, ready to rip him apart at any moment now. Chat used all his strength to hold onto the staff with one hand, place his feet under the wolf's stomach, and grab ahold of the chain around his neck. "You need to give up…on me giving up!" Chat pulled the chain as hard as he could until it finally snapped off the wolf's neck, then pushed him off by kicking him away.
He sat up with a sigh of relief, then looked around at the confused wolves. "Hey! Have any of you heard of Hawk Moth?" The wolves glanced at the Alpha and watched him step back up in front of Chat. "Can you still talk?" Chat asked the Alpha. The Alpha Wolf seemed to understand Chat, but it simply shook it's head with no reply. "Well, my time is running out. Can you show me where Hawk Moth is keeping Ladybug?" The Alpha nodded then jumped onto another roof and headed towards the tallest building visible; The Washington Monument. "She's in there? Oh great." Chat said. He then began following the wolves.
Ladybug panted as blood ran down from the side of her head. Hawk Moth turned his head to Loup Blanc and asked "Where is Chat Noir?" Loup turned on the screen to locate where Chat was, and they found him hurrying to the Washington Monument where they were hiding Ladybug. "Ah, so he's found us. Perfect." Hawk Moth said. He snapped his fingers at his partner with a smirk then turned off the screen and all the lights except for one lamp that hung over Ladybug's head. Blanc grabbed a white cloth from his pocket and tied it around Ladybug's mouth to keep her quiet, then left the scene.
The group of wolves bashed their paws into the soil around the monument and dug down as far as they could until they found the secret entrance to the room. The wolves backed away, whimpering as Chat stepped closer. He took a deep breath, grabbed his weapon, then opened the door and stepped inside.
