Ladybug
Ladybug felt sick to her stomach as she watched Chat Noir get frozen. Queen Bee was now facing off with Hawk Moth on her own as a distraction.
Ladybug took a deep breath and faced Rena Rouge she was glad Chat was facing away from them, She didn't want him to see this.
"Now." Ladybug whispered.
Rena played a few notes on her flute, "Mirage."
Immediately Ladybug was holding a fake string that led to a fake Nathalie who was being fake held up by the real Rena Rouge.
"Hey, Hawk Moth!" Ladybug yelled just as Queen Bee was smacked into the wall.
Hawk Moth looked over and his eyes widened in horror as he realized what was happening.
"Let her go!" he growled.
"What position are you in to be making demands?" she shot back, echoing his words from earlier that night. "Hand over your miraculous, and we'll let her go. Don't, and let's just say that headaches won't be bothering your assistant anymore."
Ladybug could only hope that she sounded realistic. She knew she was scaring Chat Noir, but this had to be done. Even Rena Rouge and Carapace looked horrified by her suggestion, but they hid it well.
"I'm calling your bluff." Hawk Moth glowered, "You're a teenager, you don't have the guts to-"
Ladybug fake tugged on the string.
Everyone in the room looked horrified, even those who knew it was just an illusion. Hawk Moth fell to his knees.
"I'm tired of your reign over Paris," Ladybug growled while fighting back tears, "I'm ending it, today. Now, surrender your Miraculous!" She shouted. Ladybug threw the box to Hawk Moth, who caught it numbly.
She steeled herself for what was next, then whipped her real yo-yo forward until it wrapped around Chat Noir's neck.
Please trust me, Kitty. She thought as she spoke her next sentence.
"Or I'll do the same thing to him."
