Here's the continuation from the last chapter. It was supposed to be longer, but I had gotten too tired to make it longer. Also, from the last chapter, sorry if I made Marinette to appear like a wimp. It was just the tiredness speaking through me and making her a coward was not my intentions at all. So the next time we see her, she will be much better. As always, enjoy the chapter.

"You and me Antibug, frankly I wished you stayed away from me and Adrien." She said, aiming her yo-yo at the cold blooded girl. "Who are you anyways? You have a look to your face that screams evil."

"What a conciendence, in fact that is what I am." Antibug walked near her good counterpart. "But the only difference between you and me is that I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty."


Antibug grinned evilly as she threw her sword towards Bridgette who gracefully dodged the attack. She didn't get a moment to breath before another one was thrown at her. Her black sword sent out a massive wave of dark energy with a mighty swing. Even though she couldn't see her, she could sense she was there, waiting for her in the darkness. This battle wasn't going to be easy, but she wouldn't give up.

"Come now, did you really think this battle was going to be easy?" Antibug taunted, throwing another wave of energy at the heroine. "I am the most powerful ladybug! I won't let you go so easily."

"Funny, you call yourself the most powerful and yet you haven't been able to get a single hit on me." Bridgette said back, making the black clad villain scowl at her. Bridgette took this chance to toss her yo-yo at her, making her lose balance on the lamppost she was standing on. Antibug fell to the ground.

"Huh, I would say that was too easy, but then again I have a track record of-" Bridgette squealed before dodging another attack. "Geez, do you ever run out of ammo?"

Antibug grinned at her adversary. She could've easily taken her out by now, but chose to taunt her opponent instead. It was just too enjoyable to see her squirm under pressure. This one and Miraculous Ladybug struggled heavily with self-esteem. That was a weakness she preyed upon.

"So you think you've got me beat huh?" Bridgette threw her yo-yo once more, trying to hit her. "DON'T GET TOO COCKY!"

Antibug laughed and caught the yo-yo in her hands, much to her surprise. "Did you really think I would be like anything you've ever fought before? I have the same powers you do, but better. I have the same moves you use, but better." She tugged the string, dragging poor Bridgette near her. The Quantic Ladybug fell at her feet as she leaned down with a sneer. "I'm not some whiny, boy crazed little girl like you. Unlike you, I don't need a man to fawn over and to call me sweet names. I don't need a Lucky Charm to get me out of a situation." She stepped on the yo-yo, cracking it underfoot. "And I certainly don't use a stupid pathetic yo-yo."

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" The sound of claws scratching hit her ear as Antibug leapt out of the way. Chat Noir went crashing towards the ground, landing on top of Bridgette. The bug themed hero groaned as pain shot up her abdomen.

"Are you okay kitty cat?" Bridgette pushed him off herself. Chat shook his head to get his memories back.

"Yeah, but what just happened?" He asked dazed. He didn't have a second to recover before he pushed Bridgette out of harms way.

"Stay outta my way pest! I have a job to do that doesn't involve certain felines!" Antibug swung her fist at him, only him to dodge at the last second.

"Woah! You're pretty bad at this. You have the aim of a Stormtrooper!" Chat taunted, avoiding all the fists that were aimed for him. Antibug was so distracted at trying to hit Chat that she missed Bridgette coming from right behind her. Ladybug took this moment to strike as she nailed a hard one of her back. Antibug went flying upwards, but not before being tied up and thrown down.

Chat's mouth dropped as Bridgette looked behind her shoulder. "What? Didn't think my little yo-yo could do that?"

"To be honest, my lady, you have never done anything so brutal before. Starting to believe that whole multiverse theory you keep telling me about." Chat said, still in awe.

Antibug got out of the massive crater she'd created and clenched her fist. Black energy started charging up as a spear formed in her hands. She was going to kill the Quantic Ladybug even if it hurt her.

"I grow tired of your pitiful fighting! Time to squash you forever!" Antibug yelled, shooting out some spears to impale them. Bridgette's eyes widen as she leap to avoid the barrage of spears. She spun her yo-yo string to form a barrier to protect herself and Chat.

"Squash moi? Really, you couldn't think of a better insult?" She said, tossing the toy at her. Antibug grunted as she skidded towards the edge of the park. She looked up to see the duo standing over her fallen form.

"You know, one kick and you'll be the one squash to a pulp." Bridgette leaned over to her face, she could see the smirk form on her mouth. "Do me a favor Knockoff and just give it up."

"If you think I'll-"

"That's quite enough Antibug. She beat you fair and square now." A suave voice came from the other end, followed by a girlish giggle. Miss Fortune walked out and smiled at the shocked looks on the duo's face. "Oh don't stop on my account! I'm here to pick up fallen comrade and be on our way to the master." She walked over to pick up the beaten and bruised Antibug.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Bridgette went to attack them both, but found herself and Chat tied up by their own shadows.

"Oh my poor little Quantic Bug. You really have no idea who you're messing with huh?" Miss Fortune laughed as a portal appeared in front of her. "Oh and thanks for opening the rift! Now you've unleashed all the evil into the universe again. Do hope you'll live to see the master take over." With another laugh, she exited with her fallen comrade.

"Who the heck was that? She looked like a pasty version of Ladybug." Chat said, trying to break free from the shadows. "And how are our shadows constricting us?"

"Will you stop talking for a second and let me figure this out?" Bridgette snapped, trying to get the shadows off her legs. They were starting to drag her into the darkness, it's sharp bladed nails pricking her skin. She could feel the blood running down as a gasp escaped her mouth.

"Ladybug hang on! Maybe if I use my Cataclysm, we can break free!"

"But if you use it, you'll lose most of your power idiot!"

"Will you stop insulting me for one second and let me help you!" Chat yelled, causing Bridgette's eyes to widen in surprise. "You come into this universe acting all high and mighty above me and constantly insult me! You need help! You can't do these things alone! I bet your Chat Noir only wants to help you, but you keep pushing him away too."

Bridgete felt the words hit her on the inside. Tears sprung from her eyes as she let them roll down her face. All the tension and guilt from her past started flowing out in the tears she shed. He was right, she had been trying to do things on her own. Even though she was the leader of her own team, it was her decision to fight Hawkmoth alone that ended in Volpina's death. And she did it again, resulting in the imbalance of the universe. Was her rashness really going to be the end of her?

"I'm sorry Chat Noir..." She mumbled, feeling remorse for how she treated him. "You're right, you were only trying to help me. I'm always trying to do things by myself and it costs the lives of people I know and love. You don't deserve a partner like me. I've been such a fool to think I could do these things myself."

"No one can do life alone. That's why we're partners." Chat said, giving her a soft smile. "I bet your team needs you to lead them. But they can't do that with a leader who only thinks about herself. You need to learn that everyone has a strength to combat your weakness."

"I could've have said that better myself Chat." A masculine voice said, making the two turn around. A blue haired male wearing a ladybug jumpsuit leaned casually against the bench they had been sitting on. "Man that felt weird saying that to a male version of Cattty."

"Are you another Ladybug reject?" Chat asked, suspicious now.

Manbug held up his hands at surrender. "No, but I am one of the good guys. I'm Manbug and boy do I have a lot to tell you. But first..." He gestured to the predicament they were in. "Let's get you out."


Now we have the team all together! Who is this Master that the evil bugs are talking about? What is the backstory of the origins of the Ladybug multiverse? All will be revealed next time!
