This is the final part! Hope you like it!
Ladybug-Truthseeker, it turned out, had a crossbow. Whenever she shot someone they would go still (They could talk but they couldn't move their bodies), then she would ask them a question, normally along the lines of 'Where are ladybug and Chat Noir?' They would say they didn't know, and then Truthseeker would continue her way down the street towards the Eiffel Tower.
Ladybug didn't think this was one of Hawkmoth's best Akumas, but she didn't see how it could be dangerous.
If her or Chat got hit with her arrows, they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from spilling all their secrets. And Ladybug would really like to not tell Hawkmoth who she was.
They attacked Truthseeker head on. She had noticed that it took a bit for Truthseeker to reload her crossbow, so Ladybug figured that a quick attack from the both of them would work.
This only worked for some time though. Apparently, Truthseeker was as good with hand to hand combat as she was with her bow.
Chat did his best to distract the victim. He kept prodding her in her sides as she tried to reload the bow. After a few minutes of this, he signaled to Ladybug that they should retreat. Together, they hid behind a wall on a roof.
"So, do you have any idea where the Akuma might be?" Chat asked.
"No… maybe the bow? I don't know. I saw an interesting clip in her hair. That might be it. What do you think?" She answered uncertainty.
He put his hand over hers. "I think that you need to believe in yourself more. If you think the Akuma's in her hair clip, then it probably is. You're smart. Don't doubt that."
She pulled her hand away. "You're just saying that. You don't really believe it."
He frowned, and said in a slow voice, "Then.. I'll show you. I'll show you in a way where you will know for certain that I'm telling the truth." He got up.
"Wait. What are you doing?"
He began to run in the direction of the Akuma.
"I'm going to prove I'm not lying!" He called over his shoulder.
Then ladybug realized what he meant.
He was going to get Truthseeker to hit him.
No...no..no. No! No! No!
He would be exposed! Hawkmoth would find out who he was then it would be over!
Before she could reach him.. he was stuck.
He stood pin straight, facing away from her. Then, in a calm voice he asked, "Truthseeker, could you please do me a favor?"
At purple outline of of a butterfly appeared on Truthseeker's face. She said something quietly, then replied to Chat Noir, "Okay.. Shoot."
"Can you please ask me if I love Ladybug?"
"Umm.. okay? Chat Noir do you love Ladybug?"
Ladybug closed her eyes, bracing for his answer. "I love Ladybug with all that I am." Her eyes shot open.
What? That can't be. But it has to. He can't lie right now. He's telling the truth.
She smiled, then called for her lucky charm.
Chat was pretty useless for the rest of the battle. He just had to stand there and plug his ears. He couldn't tell Truthseeker any of his secrets if he couldn't hear her.
The Akuma ended up being in the hair clip, like they had thought. Ladybug easily broke it, without Chat's cataclysm.
After the miraculous ladybugs fixed everything, Ladybug rushed up to her kitty and hugged him. He squeezed her back just as tight.
"I'm sorry for doubting you." She whispered.
"I'm sorry for just unloading all that on you at once. I should have been more patient."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
And as all the reporters swarmed them to ask questions, she ignored them and finally kissed her kitty.
Thank you for all the support! I'm so happy others in joy my story. This ending felt a bit rushed to me, but I have been dealing with a lot recently and just wanted to get it done. This chapter is extremely short because of that.
