Marinette was working on the Halloween costume she promised to make for Manon when she saw the smoke.
"Tikki! Emergency!" Tikki popped out of the fabric she had been napping in to look out over the city.
"Oh dear! Do you think it's an akuma?"
"Whatever it is, Ladybug is gonna fix it! Tikki, Spots On!" And in a flash, Ladybug was zooming across the city, heading for the smoke.
When Ladybug came to a stop on a top of a building overlooking the fires, she took in the scene. Smoke billowed up from the building across the street, a bakery that sold loaves of bread to local grocery stores.
She looked down and saw the akuma causing havoc and searching for any straggling citizens who were left in the area.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" She hollered, swooping down to search under a car.
Upon closer inspection, Ladybug saw that the girl was dressed in a long black dress, it seemed to cover more skin than any modern dress Ladybug had ever seen. She had a large and pointy, and for lack of a better term, witch hat placed on her head as she continued to sneer and search the area.
Ladybug took a deep breath and hopped down to join the akuma on the street.
"Hey!" She shouted, gaining the villain's attention as she turned on her heels to reveal a very green and very sinister glare.
"Where are they?!" She growled, swooping over to Ladybug, glaring up at her from her hunched over position. Ladybug recoiled just a bit, she smelled just as wicked as she looked.
"I'm sorry?"
"Where is the little brat and her little brute?!" She growled once more, turning swiftly and stomping away from Ladybug, who just blinked, she understood nothing that came out of the girl's mouth. What little brat and brute? What did the akuma want?
Ladybug had no time to ask for Chat had joined her on the street that second, turning to explain.
"She's obviously the Wicked Witch of the West, or well, some imitation of her, and the brat she's referring to is Dorthy." He shrugged, smiling casually over at Ladybug.
"How in the world would you know that?" Ladybug asked, earning a snicker from Chat Noir before he went off chasing the akuma, she moved fast on that broom and needed to stop her before she got too far.
Ladybug rolled her eyes, she had more important things to deal with, like where the akuma was hiding, and she raced after both Chat and the Witch.
"So, I'm thinking the akuma is in her shoes!" Chat suggested, running by Ladybug's side, she had soon caught up to him, he had dropped pace slightly to discuss a plan with her.
"Why? What about the broom?" Ladybug countered, hopping over some rubble that the Witch had left behind her.
"Who carries a broom around? And besides, she had to click her heels together before she took off on her broom!"
Ladybug huffed, he made a good point, she could see the red slippers on the Witch's feet as they chased her down the back streets of Paris.
"So, what's the plan, m'lady?" Chat smiled, gaining speed slightly.
"I, I have no idea, we have to catch her first! She's too fast!"
It took a bit, but finally, they managed to corner the villain, however, she seemed to have been waiting for them.
As soon as they came in sight of the Witch, she began to cackle, loud and vicious, it didn't look good to Ladybug, but Chat didn't see it, he took a step forward, silently challenging the girl.
"Foolish pests! I'll be rid of you soon enough!" The Witch shouted, raising a hand.
"We'll see about that, you witch!"
"Ha! Silly kitty, you seem more foolish than the bug! Care for a game of catch?!" She didn't wait for an answer, clutching the fingers of her raised hand and moving it in a throwing motion, creating a fireball that came flying towards Chat Noir.
Ladybug saw everything happen in slow motion, she saw the fireball rushing towards Chat, the look of fear on his face as she raced in front of him, tossing him to the ground. The bright flash as she released her transformation, and finally, she saw brilliant flames as they hit her square in the stomach.
Marinette crashed to the ground, a burning pain rooting itself in her stomach as she did so.
Vaguely, she could hear the scream of the Witch, she sounded pleased as her voice got fainter, no doubt fleeing the scene to cause more havoc elsewhere. She could smell burning clothes and flesh, right that.
"Ma-Marinette?!" Chat Noir came over to her, she could see his face in her fading vision.
"S-sorry... kitty... save Paris for me..." She couldn't breathe, it hurt so much. She was slipping from consciousness, but she had to hold on, she couldn't leave yet.
"Tikki, help me," she huffed, struggling with her earrings, Chat needed them if he was going to save Paris. The red kwami wordlessly agreed, helping the girl get the earrings off, before she retreated back into them.
"Marinette, what are you doing? Stop, Mari, you are going to be okay, please be okay." Chat demanded, he was fighting tears, his lady was being reckless.
"I will, this is... is a loan," her strength was fading, as well as herself.
Chat seemed to understand, taking the earrings with a nod. "I'll be back, I swear."
The next minutes seemed like a blur, Chat released Plagg from his transformation, telling the Kwami that God-like power wasn't needed for this akuma. The cat nodded, agreeing to keep watch on Marinette, her eyes closed and consciousness lost, but still breathing. Barely.
Adrien stuck the earrings in his ears, feeling slight pain as he created holes in his ears for the earrings to go.
Tikki popped out and told him to say "spots on" and to capture the akuma, the purification of it would save Marinette.
Adrien nodded, transforming and leaving to swing through the Parisian skies, he had no time to look back, or he'd lose Marinette.
He barely registered catching the Witch off guard, she had been flying through the skies and he only had to reach up and snag her shoes, throwing them over the edge of the building he was standing on and throwing them over the edge, catching the now possessed girl and setting her on the roof so he could capture and purify the akuma.
"W-where am I?"
"You're safe, okay? Go home and sleep." Adrien nodded, zipping off to check on Marinette.
They had a lot to talk about.
