Carapace held up a flashlight as they walked down the corridor full of skulls. "What was up with you and Adrien back there?"

Viperion shrugged, "I think he's too full of himself and the last time that him and Mari talked he really showed how much of an ass he truly was."

"What happened between them? Neither of them told anything to Alya and I." He flashed his flashlight into a room, but his phone went off signalling a text from Rena Rouge, "Oh, I guess there was an entrance in the Agreste Mansion."

Viperion looked into another room and saw a long narrow hallway but there were no doors in it, "This just leads to a dead end." He said as he turned around to continue walking with Carapace. "That's honestly not a big surprise anymore. Not after them finding Emily Agreste Body in the attic and pretty boy moving to America to avoid his chaotic family." He shrugged as he walked over skeleton remains from a previous life, "Adrien and her fucked while he was with Kagami, that was after they had fucked as Chat Noir and Ladybug. It ended up being more than a one night stand. Kagami had gone through his phone, confronted him. They broke up, and then Marinette continued to fuck him. One night he had told her that he loved her while they were in the middle of it. She had told him that she loved him the next day, but then Adrien just laughed in her face."

Carapace looked at Viperion with absolute disgust, "Adrien?" He muttered, Blonde-haired-model-boy-wouldn't-hurt-a-fly Adrien?" He crossed his arms.

"Yes, Nino. Adrien Agreste." He turned around, "He's really not all that he seems. He's really just a fuck boy."

"I didn't know about that, that makes so much more sense. Wow." They both came up to a corner that turned left. On the ground near a torch was a small picture. Carapace leaned over to pick it up and saw a picture of him, Alya, Adrien, and Mari. He turned it over to see what was on the back. In Marinette's handwriting it said, "Best Friends 3."

"What is it?" Viperion looked over to see a young picture of his friends, "Is that Mari's picture?"

"Yeah, she must be somewhere around here." Carapace looked around and started to walk faster. "Marinette!" He shouted but Viperion quickly covered his mouth.

"Are you insane?!" He groaned, "We're in the catacombs! You don't know what akuma's can be hiding down here! Plus, Hawk Moth can be as well and Gabriel!"

Carapace nodded and Viperion removed his hand, "Come on, be quiet!"

"Okay." Carapace followed behind for now, looking in some rooms while Viperion just walked forward. He walked into a room and saw a woman sitting on the floor, the room smelled like decay and he instantly got hit with a wave of nausea. "Shit, man." He turned around and leaned forward.

Viperion took a quick peek and covered his mouth, "Gross, man." He looked at the woman and raised his eyebrows.

"What?" Carapace's voice was nasally.

Viperion walked over to the body and squatted in front of it, "She looks like Nathalie."

Carapace took a second look, "She does."

"Nathalie was never caught right?" He grabbed a wallet that he saw sticking out of her pocket.

"No," Carapace watched his friend, "She must have been killed maybe like a month ago."

Viperion's eyes widened as he looked back at Carapace, "Gabriel escaped a month ago-"

"Marinette went missing a month ago." Carapace looked back at Viperion, "She must have helped kidnap her and break Gabriel out of jail."

"When they didn't need her anymore they just got rid of her." He opened her wallet and noticed the little picture she had of a small blonde boy. "Is this Adrien?" He took the picture out and showed Carapace.

"Yeah?" He questioned, "Why does she still have a picture of Adrien."

Viperion shrugged and got up, "They're definitely somewhere around here."

"Let's hope that we don't need back up."

…

Chat Noir and Rena Rouge walked towards a room with a bunch of torches, "I don't think we should go into that room, Chat." She whispered, but he shrugged her hand off his shoulder.

"We'll be okay, Rena." He smiled at her and walked first into the room. He looked around and saw a small wooden chair sitting in the middle of the area. There was blood on the ground near the chair, "That better not be blood."

She walked over to it and nodded, "It is, it's fresh." Her phone buzzed in her pocket because Carapace had texted her. "Carapace said that Viperion and him found Nathalie's body on their side and a picture that Marinette had on her."

"So, she is down here." Chat Noir walked around to see if he could find any sign of Marinette.

"Chat." Tikki pointed to Marinette's small pink purse that she used to carry around.

He picked it up and opened it, inside was a letter, her wallet, a pair of keys, and her cell phone. He placed it around his shoulder and started to walk out of the room. "Rena." He looked over at her and saw his father holding Alya up by her throat. "Hawk Moth."

"That's a familiar face that I haven't seen in a while." He threw Alya against the wall, knocking her out cold. "Where have you been, Chat Noir? I heard that after you defeated me that you had to go get your Miraculous fixed and afterwards you completely disappeared!"

He glared at his father, "How did you get out, Gabriel?"

"The help of Nathalie, of course!" He smirked and started to walk towards Chat, "You might as well just hand over your Miraculous, I already have Ladybug's."

"Don't listen to his Chat!" Tikki whispered into his ear.

Gabriel stood less than a foot away from Adrien, "What are you going to do? Nathalie's dead and Marinette's dead. Why don't you join me Chat Noir."

"Never." He swung his baton, "Tell me where Marinette is!"

Gabriel sighed, "Now, why would I do that?"

"How about you not be a bastard and narcissist for once in your goddamn life and do something actually useful!" He shouted, "She's a young girl and you're seriously gonna harm her for your own needs! You disgust me and everyone around you." Chat smirked at the next thing that would come out. He knew that his father would take it straight to his heart, "No wonder your son left you alone in Paris and started new in America."

Gabriel had hate in his eyes, "Who are you to talk about my son? Adrien is doing a fine job right now, and when I get a hold of your miraculous Adrien, My Wife, and I will all become one happy family again."

"Don't dream about it, Pal." Chat ran towards him, ready to swing his baton, "He probably can't fucking stand your guts for always almost putting his friends in danger." Chat swung too fast for Gabriel to try to avoid, so the baton went straight into his side. He was launched against the wall and Chat quickly grabbed Rena Rouge and threw her over his shoulder. He looked over at his father and realized that he wouldn't be getting up anytime soon. He kept his hold on Rena Rouge's waist tightly and ran out the other side of the room. He quickly checked rooms as he ran by.

"Chat!" Tikki tried to keep up with him.

"Here, jump in the purse." He held open Marinette's purse to let Tikki fly in. "I'm sorry, Tikki, I was too worried to try and get out of there."

"It's okay, I didn't see Marinette in any of the rooms so far." She popped her head out and looked around. "There's no more torches on the walls, Chat." She huddled closer to his side.

He laughed as he held up his flashlight, "I know." He suddenly heard voices and quickly slowed down, "Tikki, Get down." He whispered. Tikki pressed the button on his flashlight and they both hid on the dark side of the wall as the light from the other people started to come closer.

"No, I don't see anyone here either." Someone spoke, Chat clenched his teeth as they came close enough to him. Carapace turned his head as he suddenly saw Chat's figure and jumped in fear.

Viperion jumped at Carapace's scream and looked at Chat Noir, "What the hell are you doing?!"

Chat groaned, "I thought you were Hawk Moth."

"What happened to Alya?" Carapace's eyes widened, "Is she okay?"

He placed her on the floor, "She should be fine. We ran into my father back there and he got a hold of her first."

"Dammit," Carapace groaned, "What did you do with your father?"

"I just left him there-"

Viperion clenched his fist, "You just left him there?"

"Yeah, what else was I supposed to do?" Chat glared daggers at Viperion, "Throw him over my shoulder and bring him along?"

Viperion noticed Marinette's bag around Chat's shoulder, "Is that Marinette's?" He pointed at it.

Chat looked at it, "Oh, yeah… we found it in that room back there."

"Where haven't you guys looked yet?" Carapace took out his map. Chat looked at it and pointed to a hallway, "Alright, so we're heading down there."

"Why don't you guys go back and see if my father is still down there, if he is, stay with him but tie him up." Chat looked at Viperion and Carapace, "I'll bring Marinette back if I see her."

Carapace nodded and picked up Alya, "We'll meet up there, Chat."

"Alright," He smiled and turned around to walk down there.

Viperion quickly stopped him, "Chat Noir, If you need help down there just ring okay?"

Chat rolled his eyes, "I don't need help from the likes of you… Ladybug and I got it." He continued to walk down the narrow path of rooms that Carapace and Viperion checked.

There were no more torches and he could no longer see his friends. It was wet and eerie, and the walls began to get skinnier. Tikki looked up at him from Marinette's bag, "Chat?"

"Yeah?" He shined in light into rooms, seeing nothing but decomposing bodies.

Tikki looked around, "You should really reconsider becoming a miraculous holder again."

It felt different from a kwami hearing it, "Why?" He managed to whisper out as his heart sank.

Tikki could tell that he was seriously taking what she had said in, and it had definitely been on his mind too. "I don't know, Tikki. She probably hates me right now."

"Are you serious?" Tikki rolled her eyes, "Marinette's been in love with you, everytime one of your commercials pop up on screen she gets mesmerized. She literally is so proud of how far you've come in your career. She doesn't hate you Chat, she really loves you."

Chat didn't notice that he started smiling, "Thanks, Tikki."

"You should really come back, she misses her partner." Tikki gave him a small smile, "You've always been the best partner to her."

A blush formed over Chat's face, "Tikki, I can't. There's no way I can just come back here. I left for a reason."

"Paris needs you, Chat Noir." She begged, "Plagg needs you, Ladybug needs you! You should see the look in her eyes when she sees old magazine's with the both of you on it!" Chat's mind immediately went to that night, how beautiful her face looked in the moonlight.

Marinette finally became conscious, she was back in the room without light. It was wet and cold, but the door was open. She stared at the door, it was completely dark outside the room. She realized her hands weren't tied up and she slowly stood up. Her legs were wobbly and she had used the wall for support.

Chat slowed down as he got to the area he had to look in, "After I had found out that my father had kept my mother's corpse, it made me feel sick to my stomach to know that my father was who he was." He took a peek into one of the rooms, "I ran to America, because I didn't want Paris to turn me into my father."

Marinette heard voices in the distance and she quickly hid on the wall. If the people had planned in on coming in here she would try her best to attack and get out of here.

Tikki looked away, "I know, Chat. I'm not trying to peer pressure you, I just am really happy to see you."

"Thanks, Tikki." He laughed and looked in another room.

They were right across the hall from Marinette, she had her breathing under control and when he would pop in she would tackle him to the ground. "I know you aren't tryna peer pressure me, but I can't just come back-" When Marinette saw his head she quickly grabbed him and managed to tackle him to the ground.

Chat hit his head on the concrete floor and groaned in pain as he grabbed whatever had just tackled him and slammed them against the tree. He held up his flashlight to their face and immediately his heart sank, "Marinette?"

Marinette's eyes widened as she heard his familiar face. She looked up and saw the light glow of Chat Noir's face, her Chat Noir. "Chat?"

Tikki popped out and hovered in between the both of them, "Are you alright?"

Her eyes widened as she saw Tikki and realized that Chat Noir knew her true identity, "A-Ah." She tried to think of something to cover her ass.

"It's alright, I've known about your true identity before I left." He hugged her, "I came back for a bit, and that's when I heard about your disappearance."

She felt her eyes water and she hugged Chat as tightly as she could, "I missed you."

"I missed you too, but we need to get back to Carapace, Rena Rouge, and Viperion." He picked her up and started to walk the other way.

She felt like it was a dream to be in his arms again, "How did they find you?"

"We'll explain everything when we get back, for now… let's try to get out of here." He spoke as he walked back towards his allies and his father.
