Chapter 5:

Flashback: 1 and a half months earlier

"Tikki I don't know if I can do this!"

Said kwami patted Marinette's shoulder in comfort. It was just recently that Ladybug and Chat Noir had found Hawkmoth's lair while on patrol and tonight was the night they had agreed to fight him. Marinette was excited to get rid of Hawkmoth at the time, but now, she wasn't so sure.

"Marinette you CAN do this!" Tikki looked at the clock. She had half an hour to change this girl's mind.

The blue-nette handed her friend a cookie to get her energy up. "Thanks for believing in me Tikki, it's just what if we fail? What if Hawkmoth gets ultimate power and enslaves all of humanity? It will be all my fault!"

Tikki giggled at the girl's rambling." Now you're being silly! You and Chat Noir will kick Hawkmoth's ass to the moon!"

Marinette smiled. She couldn't quite get her head round why Tikki was so excited for this battle. The little God wouldn't stay in one spot for more than 5 seconds. She was whizzing about the room non-stop. Marinette was constantly telling her off so shewould have 100% power for the fight, but her efforts were in vain.

15 minutes until the fight and Marinette was slowly calming down. She meditated for 5 minutes to clear her mind and sang a bit of the song one of Alya's LadyBlog fans wrote for Ladybug and Chat Noir.

"Miraculous! Simply the Best! Up to the test, when things go wrong!"

10 more minutes.

"Miraculous! The luckiest! The power of love, always so strong!"

Right, Marinette could do this! Everyone believed in her and Chat.

5 minutes.

Deep breath in, deep breath out. Deep breath in, deep breath out.

"Tikki, on a scale of one to ten, how hard will this battle be?"

The Ladybug God scratched her chin, humming away in thought. "Probably 8! Or 7 if he trips on his tails on that stupid dress suit!"

Marinette laughed. Tikki smiled, spirits lifted. Everything will be alright!

Time to go!

Marinette shook her head, hoping it would rid her of her worries. Three short words later Ladybug stood where Marinette once was. "Let's do this!"

#######################

Chat Noir paced along the roof of his school patiently waiting for his partner to show up. He was early so he couldn't exactly complain. He had to admit that he was excited for this, excited to get rid of the burden known as Hawkmoth. Not once did he bother to think what would happen after the fight. Chat Noir was scared to think of that. The cat was so deep in thought he didn't hear the light thud behind him and the light footsteps coming towards him.

"What ya thinking about kitty cat?"

Chat Noir jumped from the sudden voice and turned to see his lady standing there. She had a hand on her hip and the other dangling her side. She was leaning slightly to the side that her hand was on her hip. A familiar pose.

"Just how we are going to kick Hawkmoth's big behind. When we're done with him he'll see just how paw-some we really are."

Chat Noir smirked as Ladybug rolled her eyes at his pun. "At a time like this, you're making puns?"

Chat moved closer and wiggled his eyebrows playfully. "Don't lie you love my puns!"

Ladybug scoffed. "You wish!" The truth was Ladybug actually loved that stupid cat's puns, but she wouldn't boost his ego anymore. "Let's go and save Paris!"

######################

The super duo stood quietly staring at a door. They were looking at it like it would kill them, but it was nothing more than a door. What truly scared them was what was behind the door. This door was the only thing separating them from Hawkmoth. This door held more power than it should. The cat and the bug looked at each other and nodded. A red arm with spots reached out followed by another plain black one. They both touched the door. This was it.

"Three."

"Two"

Ladybug gulped, " One."

They both pushed and the door opened to reveal a man standing in the shadows.

"Hello there Ladybug and Chat Noir. I have been expecting you."

The figure stepped out of the shadows and much to the superheroes suprise, Gabriel Agreste stood there. He smirked showing off some of his teeth.

Chat Noir stood there mouth hanging wide open, while Ladybug stood in a fighting stance, just not fighting.

"What's so surprising? Oh, I know! You didn't expect me to be Hawkmoth did you? HAHAHAHAHAHA HILARIOUS!"

As if on cue a purple blur shot out from one of Gabriel's pockets and flew above the heroes heads, dropping a brick above each of them.

Ladybug collapsed and watched as the purple blur flew in front of her face. She was too dizzy to properly see it but she managed to make out butterfly wings.

'That must be Gabriel's kwami!'

The kwami moved closer to her and whispered, "I's so sorry," before flying away.

Ladybug watched helplessly as the villain moved closer to her, Chat's ring already in hand. He took off one of her earings and she felt her costume de-materialise leaving her in her normal clothes. She stole a glance at Gabriel. He looked like he had just seen a ghost.

'I wonder why?'

Before Marinette passed out she managed to catch a glimpse of Gabriel slam the two bits of jewellery together, white light engulfing him. Then black.

When Marinette woke up she heard screams of terror. All her memories came flooding back. She gasped in realisation and started to sob uncontrollably.

"No no no no no no!" She looked around she as in a cell with no windows and she noticed she was standing in complete darkness.

"TIKKI!" She called out, no response. Hawkmoth had her. Her sobs continued as she stared into the darkness of her cell. This was it. This is how she would die, her and Chat would just be found one day in a cell lying lifeless. When Marinette thought of Chat she sobbed harder. Her throat was now raw but she didn't care, it would have plenty of time to heal, it's not like she had anyone to talk to. The blue-nette shrunk into a corner and slowly lowered herself to the ground where she sat, head I between her thighs.

She sobbed and sobbed harder until she was met with a nightmare full sleep.
