The Raven in Paris
Chapter 4: The Blade That Pierce The Night
Ms. Laurent standing tall with her fierce look glancing at the shatter carve and look at the Cholé. She walks toward with a cold feeling running down everyone spine.
"Ms. Bourgeois who give you the right to do that?" Ms. Laurent asked in a serious tone.
"Uh, my daddy of course. He is the mayor of this city so I could do anything I want, even kick you out of this school" Cholé arrogantly reply like she is the queen.
"Is that so? Then I will be looking forward to the tomorrow meeting" Ms. Laurent continue, she turned her back and glanced back "It's such a waste of good art".
She walked away, and the atmosphere return to nature. Cholé walk to the restroom following by Sabrina.
"Don't worry Nathaniel, I will help you pieced this together" Marinette cheering Nathaniel up.
"No, Marinette it's over. I appreciate you kindest anyway" Nathaniel walk away with desperate feeling.
From a far side of the city, an old evil rise again. The sense of desperate and sadness fuel him, he always gets thrill from creating a new villain to wreak havoc to the city.
"Ah, depression and sadness of a shattered dream. How sad it's, a perfect prey to create a new villain" Hawkmoth soliloquy to himself while merging a new akuma from his hand "Fly free my akuma, evilized him and let's wreak havoc to this city".
The butterfly fly across the sky bring along it power toward the new victim, signaling a new villain is about to rise.
"All of this now is meaningless" Nathaniel despair and threw every pieces to the trash bin but he still keeps the carve of Queen Bee in his hand like he wants to crush it.
The butterfly flew through the door and attach itself to the carve, a voice started to echoing in Nathaniel ear. A classic introduction.
"You again?" Nathaniel asked.
"Yes I'm Hawkmoth, Dream Crusher yours ambition has been shatter by other envious. Now I will grant you the power to crush all of their dream just like what have done to you, in return I only ask you to bring me Ladybug and Chat Noir' miraculous" Hawkmoth offered a deal.
"Let there be no more dream left to this city" Nathaniel reply while transform into Dream Crusher.
At the time, Marinette and her groups get to the class to continue studying. They notice that Nathaniel isn't at the class.
"Hey Alya did you see Nathaniel?" Marinette ask.
"No I don't think so, maybe he just in the bathroom" Alya reply "Maybe we should meet him after school and cheer him up".
"You are right. I couldn't believe that Ladybug make this mistake by choosing Cholé to be a miraculous holder" Marinette continue in upset mood "He didn't do anything to her, I'm the one that argue with her not him. This is all my fault, if I didn't argue with her everything would haven't been this horrible".
"Calm down girl, it's not your fault. Beside Ms. Laurent will have a meeting with her father tomorrow so everything will be fine" Alya said.
"But her father is the mayor, what if her father kick Ms. Laurent out of the school" Marinette said in a worry voice.
"I don't think so girl, I think that Ms. Laurent will give Cholé and her father a lesson. Beside I bet that even the mayor will be scared of Ms. Laurent" Alya continue.
"I agree, if you talk about who's right and who's wrong. Cholé is the person that should said sorry" Adrien said.
"I think we should help him pieced his carve together" Nino said.
"Yeah, great idea Nino" Marinette continue.
"Well that settle it, we will meet after classes and help recreate his carve deal?" Alya ask
"DEAL" all of them reply.
"Classes open yours Math book at page 44, today we will learn about Trigonometric Functions"
Ms. Mendeleïev said "In Mathematics, Trigonometric Functions or also known as Goniometric Functions is widely used in Science, Geometry, Geodesy and many more. It's most familiar of it are Sine, Cosine and Tangent".
They continue to learn the lessons, raise their hand and answering questions and stuff. Until the bell ring.
"Ok classes, remember to do your homework" Ms. Mendeleïev said.
After the classes they when out the school and try to find Nathaniel, they come across Marc who look very worry and like he is in a rush.
"What the matter Marc?" Marinette ask.
"Have you seen Nathaniel? I was looking for him everywhere" Marc said.
"The last time I see him is at the front yard and then he walked to the bathroom" Marinette reply "And that is the last time I see him".
"Have you search the bathroom?" Alya ask.
"I already went there; I search the whole school" Marc continue with worrying voice "Where could he be?".
They walk to the gate and come across some depress and desperate looking peoples, the sky darkens and rather than a beautiful sunset. It's sad and gloomy, a figure walks behind them singing a song.
"Gloomy Sunday" Ms. Laurent humming a song "A song that take place in Paris with a depress and blue tone, how identical that it to this day".
"What is the song that just sang Ms. Laurent?" Marinette ask.
"Gloomy Sunday, also known as the song of death. I think that song is reference to a day like this. There is an urban legend that everyone that heard that song will commit suicide" Ms. Laurent talk in a spine chilling voice "But it's just a rumor nothing to be afraid of".
"Have you seen Nathaniel? we are looking for him" Alya ask.
"No, I didn't see him anywhere" Ms. Laurent reply "If I see him I will let you know".
"Marinette look at everyone why do they look so down?" Alya point her finger at a nearby person.
"I don't know Alya, maybe they just have a rough time" Marinette said.
"No I don't think so" Ms. Laurent continue "They look like they just woke up on the wrong side of the bed".
"Whatever it's I believe Ladybug and Chat Noir will get to the bottom of it" Alya confidently said.
"Yeah you are right, I have to go now Cya" Marinette rush to go home.
As she run she get into an alley, she looks around to make sure no one is nearby. Tikki fly out of her purse and prepare for her transformation.
"Do you think that it's a work of an akuma?" Tikki asked.
"Well, there is only one way to find out" Marinette said while starting to transform into Ladybug "Tikki, Spot on".
She jumps to a nearby building and start to observe around, she spots a black and deep blue suit. His hand holding a black orb. He holds the ball on his hand and point it at the police patrolling nearby and the orb start to merge into a projection of the future this city, a city without crime. He crushed the ball and suddenly the police officer turn moody and depress.
"What are you think you doing?" Marinette rush toward the villain and shout out.
"Damn it" He jump to the alley and run away.
"Chat, meet me at the Eiffel Tower immediately. This is urgent" Ladybug sending a message through her yo-yo.
Adrien while walk home he feel suspicious at the state of the peoples. After he got home he goes to his room and lock the door.
"Plagg come out, we need to transform" Adrien said.
"Alright, kid but why I don't see any akuma around" Plagg reply while his eye turns to Adrien 'carve "CHEESEEEEE".
"NO, Plagg it's not a cheese" Adrien stopping Plagg.
"Yes it's" Plagg grasp the carve and try to take a bite "Ow, what it's?".
"I told you that is not a cheese, it's mine carve and it's made out of wood not milk" Adrien continue "I will give you cheese after we done with this".
"Plagg, Claw out" Adrien said while he starts the transformation.
Just before he jumps out the window he receives a message. He opens the message.
"Chat, meet me at the Eiffel Tower immediately. This is urgent" The message started.
"Seem like mi 'lady need me" Chat Noir jump across the town.
As he goes, he seen a lot of people that it in a state of despair. He continues and arrived at the meeting point, Ladybug stand at the tower waiting for him.
"You come earlier than I expected" Ladybug said.
"What could I said whenever mi 'lady call, I will always be there" Chat flirt "Have you notice that everyone looks so depress".
"Yes, I have spotted a very suspicious looking person" Ladybug said "He might be the akuma".
"Seem like this person have a power to chance people mood" Chat said while looking down.
While they continue to exchanging info about the villain, Dream Crusher continue to do his dirty work, he lurking to a nearby civilian and used his power once more. Just be for he has time to do anything a yo-yo swing by and right in his face.
"AHH, what the!" Dream Crusher back off from the civilian.
"Don think that I didn't know what you are going to do" Ladybug fling toward and rolled up her yo-yo.
"Surrender you are out number" Chat point his staff at him.
"Not so fast" Dream Crusher jump to a nearby build and run away following by Ladybug and Chat Noir.
"Your evil work must be stop" Ladybug chasing while shouting to him.
"Seem like someone just get off the wrong side of the bed" Chat try to make a pun while continue to purse.
They continue to chase until the sun is almost set and the miraculous is about to run out of energy, He stop at the Arc de Triomphe and he doesn't seem to be afraid or anything.
"What are you doing? You gonna get caught" Hawkmoth shout out to him through their connection.
"Don't worry this is my plan, just be quiet and I could assure you that you will get your miraculouses" Dream Crusher reply in confident.
He waits there patiently; he doesn't seem to be anxious. Like everything is in his control, Ladybug and Chat Noir arrived at the place and doesn't expect this him to be this careless.
"What the matter you plan crashed already?" Chat try to confront him.
"Everything end here Dream Crusher, surrender now" Miraculous said "What have you done? Do you even think what you doing are right?".
"Huh, you will never understand" Dream Crusher turn his back while continue their conversation.
"Sorry we don't need to understand" Chat raise his voice and lunge toward Dream Crusher "Cataclysm".
"Wait Chat" Ladybug try to stop Chat.
As he lunges relentlessly toward Dream Crusher, as his empowered hand about to touch Dream Crusher. He grasps Chat hand and put that aside without touching the Cataclysm, His orb turns into Chat deepest dream. His true love.
"What a lovely dream, it would be a shame if someone crushed it" Dream Crusher teasing Chat while crushing the orb.
The effect come instant, Chat sudden lost his will to fight and collapse to the ground. Ladybug rushed to his side and try to get him out of there.
"This isn't over Ladybug" Dream Crusher said and retreat.
"Chat stay with me" Ladybug try to bring Chat mood back.
"What the point of this? Everything is pointless" Chat talking like an emo.
"That is not I want to hear, let get you to Master Fu" Ladybug grasp his hand and run toward Master Fu place.
They run across the city and stop at an old drug store, inside an alley. The time passing by in a flash it's night time.
"Ah Ladybug and Chat Noir. What bring you two here?" Master Fu gladly greet them.
"Master Fu I need you to help Chat snap out of this" Ladybug said putting Chat down the matt.
"What wrong with him?" Master Fu asked.
"He dream had been crushed by Dream Crusher and his will seem to lost" Ladybug explained.
"I see; it might take time but until he recovers. You will have to continue without him, take 1 miraculous and choose a person you really trust and defeat him" Master Fu took the box out and display all the miraculous "Choose wisely, Ladybug".
Ladybug glancing over all the miraculouses, she hesitated between the fox and bee miraculous. She was intended to choose the fox but an idea flash through her head and she finally chose the bee miraculous.
"Are you sure about your decision?" Master Fu asked.
"Yes" Ladybug reply as she talked her miraculous and Chat miraculous about to run out of energy.
"Go now, recharge you kwami and put a stop to him" Master Fu rushed Ladybug out of the store.
Ladybug get rushed out of the store just before both of their miraculous run out of energy, Tikki fly out and floating by her side.
"That was close" Tikki said.
"Yeah, it was really close" Marinette reply and took out a macaron and give it to Tikki "Here have this, we need to get back and devilze".
"Thank Marinette" Tikki munching down the macaron while continue to talk "But Marinette, why did you choose the Bee miraculous? Are you going to choose Cholé to join you?".
"As much as I hate to said it, yes I will choose her to be my partner" Marinette said
"But why? Wasn't she been meant to you and your friend earlier?" Tikki reply in confused.
"Yes she was, but because I need to stop the akuma without harming Nathaniel. And her sting only immobilized him, she is my only option".
"Oh I see" Tikki realized.
"Now finished it so we can end this and have some rest" Marinette said.
"Let's go" Tikki quickly gobble up the macaron.
"Tikki, spot on" Marinette retransform into Ladybug.
They run across the city and go straight to the Le Grand Paris. The place that Cholé lived, she flings to the top of the hotel and meet Cholé chilling with Sabrina on her side.
"Cholé, I need you to help me defeat this akuma" Ladybug said.
"See I told you will need again" Cholé babbling around "Who are more worthy to be Queen Bee than me?".
"Cholé I'm not here to discuss who is more worthy to be a miraculous holder" Ladybug said "This is serious, are you gonna help me or not?".
"Yes, I'm" Cholé quickly accept it.
Ladybug handed Cholé the Bee miraculous, from the hair comb Pollen fly out and levitate around. She looks happy when she meets Cholé.
"You missed didn't you Pollen" Cholé asked
"Yes, why wouldn't I" Pollen happily reply.
"Me too" Cholé said while prepare to transform into Queen Bee "Let's go and deal with this villain. Pollen, Buzz on"
They continue to look for clues about Dream Crusher and they finally found him at the Notre-Dame de Paris, a place fill with believes and dreams.
"Ah, a church. Fill with dream and hope, this place is perfect for me" He stand from the corner glancing to choose his target.
He started to form his orbs into multiple small orbs. He spread it around him, the orbs merge into different shape. Just before he destroys all of them a foot land into his face he stumbles on to the ground and the orbs return into the original orb.
"Not again" Dream Crusher mumble.
"Everyone get out of here there is a akuma in this place" Ladybug shout and escort everyone out of the church.
"Everyone is out of the church and they got home. This place is empty now; you power won't work" Queen bee said.
"Everything end here, Dream Crusher" Ladybug confront Dream Crusher.
"You two are so naïve if you think this is over" Dream Crusher said in confident.
"You can stop babbling now you are out number" Queen Bee said "Who do you think give you the right to destroy other dream".
"It that so, then I have to ask you the same question Queen Bee or should I said Cholé Bourgeois" Dream Crusher speak in a calm voice "Who give you the right to destroy someone else dream".
"No, what do you even mean? Don't tell me that you are Nathaniel" Cholé reply as if she is innocent "I…I…didn't do anything wrong".
"Queen Bee we will talk about that later, now let's focus about the mission" Ladybug said.
"Yeah, you are right" Cholé lightly nod.
"Oh Ladybug, you have asked me do I think what I have done are evil? Let me answer your question" Dream Crusher smirk and said "No I don't think what I did are evil, everything I did is just bringing people to the reality. So they could realize how pointless their dream is".
While Ladybug and Queen Bee continue to negotiation with Dream Crusher, back at Master Fu 'place he still trying his best to snap Chat out of Dream Crusher power.
"Chat Noir you have to snap out of this, Ladybug and Queen Bee need you" Master Fu try to bring Chat mood back.
"What the point of this, how could I have the girl of dream if I doesn't even know her identity. I'm worthless she will never love me" Adrien reply in depress and like he is making his last words.
"Chat Noir this isn't you, you have a lot of talent and trait. You aren't worthless" Master Fu continue.
"Even if I have anything special, I will never have a chance with her" Adrien continue like an emo teen.
"Ok you need to snap out this Ladybug and Queen Bee need you, if you snap out of this now I will give you a clues of Ladybug identity".
"Really! tell me who is she now, hurry Master!" Adrien excitingly and return to normal "What am I doing here?".
"There is a lot to talk, but now you have to get to Ladybug and Queen Bee place" Master Fu said and gave Adrien a pieces of camembert "Here Plagg have this to regain your energy".
"Thank you Master, you know me too well" Plagg take the cheese and swallow it "Done".
"Wait you haven't told me anything about her yet" Adrien asked.
"Well, …" Master Fu hesitate but he gives Adrien a small clue "You could found her at your school, that is only thing you should know".
"Great now let's get to the ladies" Adrien transform into Chat Noir "Plagg, claw out".
He run out the street and climb on top of the Eiffel tower and searching for Ladybug and Queen Bee, he notices a crowd of people are gather nearby the Notre-Dame de Paris. He rushes toward the place as fast as possible.
At the church the battle is still going.
"This place could use some audiences" Dream Crusher continue while he jumps to the roof.
"We must after him, we couldn't let him use his power on the civilian" Ladybug said while chasing him with Queen Bee.
As he reached the roof, he stands there waiting for them. He smirks when they came, a wicked smile.
"You seem to be up to something?" Ladybug asked.
"By something, do you mean defeating you two with ease?" Dream Crusher sarcastically reply.
"Your arrogant are off the roof" Queen Bee said.
"Looked at the pot calling the kettle black" Dream Crusher teasing back "Maybe I should thank you for showing me the reality. Thank to you I have open my eyes to the true face of this world".
"And now I will help the people of Paris and the world to see the reality and create a new world, a world without any pointless dream" Dream Crusher continue.
"You are such a drama queen" Queen Bee try to iron tongued again Dream Crusher.
"Your words are as empty as your selflessness" Dream Crusher reply without any hesitate.
"How dare you?!" Queen Bee getting angry and lunge toward.
Queen Bee jump toward him mindlessly, as expected Dream Crusher dodge to aside. Queen Bee continue to attack in rage, Dream Crusher continue to dodge effortlessly. He doesn't seem to be making any move.
"FIGHT ME, YOU BASTARD!" Queen Bee shout in angry.
"Queen Bee watch out! we don't know what is he up to" Ladybug shout to Queen Bee.
"My my, getting angry already?" Dream Crusher leap backward and continue to tease.
"I WILL CRUSHED YOU!" Queen Bee take out her miraculous and turn it into a sting "VENOM".
"Using you power already? Seem like you really want to defeat me" Dream Crusher smile and said, like this is what he wants.
"Aim it precisely Queen Bee!" Ladybug said.
Dream Crusher's orb shapeshift shape itself into a staff, he dodges her hand and using his staff to pint the stinger to the ground. He lands a spinning kick to her, Queen Bee get stumble back he jump at her prepare to land a blow on her. Just as he about to swung the staff, Ladybug use her yo-yo stop the staff in the nick of time.
"Don't forget about me" Ladybug holding the staff back.
"Uh, I could handle this myself" Queen Bee reply in discord, she jumps back and attack consistently.
"You're all about talking but you don't have anything to back it off" Dream Crusher blocking her while continue to tease her.
The battle continues, but this time both of them lunge toward him at once. The fight doesn't seem to be on anyone side but Dream Crusher still have the upper edge, since Queen Bee had already used her power and her miraculous is ticking away.
"We can't continue like this or else we might lose" Ladybug said in worry.
"Lucky Charm" Ladybug use her power and summon a sprayer of sort.
"What is that a hair sprayer?" Queen Bee sarcastically asked.
"Seriously? What are you gonna Do? Give me a hair design?" Dream Crusher chuckle and tease them.
"Lucky Charm doesn't always give you what you want, but what is this thing?" Ladybug confused and sprayed the sprayer and her hand and get slight burn immediately "OWW"
"This is a liquid nitrogen sprayer!" Ladybug realize.
"What are we gonna use it for?" Queen Bee asked.
Ladybug take a look and look at Dream Crusher staff. Everything started to come together, she quickly wisher into Queen Bee.
"I need you to distract him" Ladybug said.
"Ok, I don't what are you up to but whatever it's. It's better work" Queen Bee reply
"Hey you, wimpy dreamer! Come and fight me like a man!" Queen Bee shout out to Dream Crusher and run toward him.
"With pleasure" Dream Crusher lunge toward.
Queen Bee make the first move, she swung her spinner from a distance. Dream Crusher blocking her attack with his staff, in a split second she jumped on to Dream Crusher cover his eyes.
"Hey, are you supposed to call this a fight like a man?" Dream Crusher losing his balance and swing his staff randomly.
"I'm a lady" Queen Bee said in sarcastic voice and shout back "Now Ladybug!".
Ladybug join the fight and rushes in and spraying the bottle on to the staff. Within second the staff freeze immediately, just before she can do anything further. Dream Crusher realize their plan and fling Queen Bee back to Ladybug.
"That was close" Dream Crusher said.
"Ow, did your plan work?" Queen Bee ask.
"Definitely, just take a look" Ladybug overconfidently said and point at Dream Crusher frozen staff.
"What!" Dream Crusher look at his staff.
"Now even without Chat Noir we could defeat you by destroying that staff with ease" Ladybug said.
"Bravo Ladybug, you really surprised me" Dream Crusher impressed and applause her "But what you just did is the last piece of my plan".
"What are you even mean?" Queen Bee asked.
As she asked, her miraculous started to alert and his plan finally been reveal.
"What do you mean, Dream Crusher?" Hawkmoth asked in confused.
"Isn't it too obvious? I'm not try to defeat them" Dream Crusher explain "I'm just buying time until their miraculous run out of power. I thought as the great villain you have to be smarter than this Hawkmoth".
"Lady and gentle, today I shall reveal the true identity of your precious hero. Ladybug." Dream Crusher walked to the edge and shout out to the crowd below. He turned around and said "Now you have two choices. Either run away and I will follow you two when both of you are run out of energy I will take your miraculous or stand here and surrender your miraculous now and reveal your face to the people of Paris".
Ladybug and Queen Bee both realize that they couldn't do anything in this situation, neither find a way to get they out in one piece.
"Oh, well I will choose the third decision. You surrender and all of us can have a big rest" A voice coming from Dream Crusher back. It's Chat Noir.
"Hope that I'm not late" Chat said.
"You came just in time, kitty" Ladybug reply in exciting "It's over now Dream Crusher"
"Well then seem like I'm" Dream Crusher talk in a wicked voice "Let's see what you all have"
"You're nothing but a loud mouth, you serious think you have a chance again the three of us?" Queen Bee said in confident.
"Not 1 against 3, but 3 chasing 1" Dream Crusher said while running off from them.
"Come back you coward!" Queen Bee shout back.
"You two should stay here and recharge, I will catch him" Chat said.
"NO, we don't have much time. His staff will unfreeze soon and he will be able use his power again. We have to use the last of our energy to capture him" Ladybug deny and follow.
"Aren't you going with us?" Ladybug asked Queen Bee.
"No, I will go home. I have to think about what he said" Queen Bee said and left.
Ladybug and Chat Noir quickly pursuing on him, they run as fast that they could.
"What are you doing? You said you have a plan" Hawkmoth shout on him.
"Yes I do have a plan, a plan that is to buy time and wait for their miraculous to run out of power. When Ladybug miraculous run out of power I will take it and Chat Noir will have no chance to fight me if he has to protect her as the same time, he will lose as well" Dream Crusher explain. As running his staff began to melt and staring to return to its original form.
Dream Crusher quickly run toward a nearby alley to hide from them, just as he run into an alley he stumbles across a figure of someone.
"Get out of my way!" Dream Crusher said in hurry.
But just as he finished his sentence the figure disappears and nowhere to be see, then he felt a chill down his spine like someone is standing behind him.
"I afraid that I can't do that" a voice of a woman coming from behind him.
"WHO ARE YOU?" Dream Crusher terrified and asked.
"The one you shouldn't have seen" Her voice chilling and cold as steel.
A horrifying scream echo through the alley and our heroes notice immediately and rushed toward it, but to their surprised to see Dream Crusher collapsed on the ground along with a black figure standing aside holding his orbs.
"MI 'lady the akuma has been defeated" Chat said in surprised.
Before they proceed any further, the figure thrown the black orb at Ladybug. She quickly takes it, upon landing on her hand the orb turned to crumble and the butterfly flew out she use her yo-yo and devilized it and everyone started to return to normal. The figure turns and started to walk away.
"Wait what have you done to him" Ladybug asked.
She silences and continue to walk.
"Why are you here?" Chat asked.
The lady continues to keep silences. She doesn't seem to care to much of what they said.
"HEY, I'm talking to you" Chat angry said "Look at me when I'm talking to you".
"Uh, insolent kitten" The lady said.
"What did you just said?" Chat fury and take his staff and lunge toward her.
She quickly takes her sword out and block Chat attack immediately, their weapon clash upon each other. The lady swung her sword and threw Chat back to Ladybug.
"Why you!" Chat reply in pain.
The lady jump to the air and landed on a tall building with a wide area around. Both of them quickly follow.
"Ah, this is a perfect place for us to have a fight" The lady satisfied and rising her sword "Come don't hold back".
"Chat this person isn't simple" Ladybug said "Be careful she could be dangerous".
"Whatever she maybe, I will take her down" Chat confidently said.
They both prepare themselves for a fight. The only thing that is more intimidating than her crimson eyes are her piercing blade that reflect by the moon light. Chat lunge in first and swing his staff at her, she dodges it effortlessly and jump behind Chat before he even realized.
"What the matter surrender already?" Chat said.
"I don't need to lay my blade on you" The Lady reply.
"Oh, maybe this will make you think twice about underestimate me" Chat angrily said and using his power "Cataclysm".
He dashed toward her aiming to touch her sword with his empowered hand, trying to disarm her. But just in a nick of time, she catches his hand with ease and rising her sword at his neck.
"My my, you have a lot of potential but you need to train more if you ever want to touch me" The lady tease back.
Chat use all of his strength to try to thrust his hand further, but to no use. Ladybug swing her yo-yo to The lady's blade to try to defend Chat, she reflexed and jump back ward.
"Uh, sneak attack. How annoying is that" The lady said "I would glad to teach you some close range combat".
The lady dashes toward Ladybug pointing her sword as Ladybug, Chat lunge toward Ladybug and getting both of them out of the deadly blade, as they dodge to aside her blade pierced through the wall.
"Great her blade is stuck to the wall; we should have enough time to attack" Chat said.
As Chat finished his sentence, a crackly noise coming from behind them. They both looked back and saw the wall was shatter and the blade is still intact, she walked toward them and smirk.
"You two not too bad as a team, that certainly surprised me" The lady applauded them.
"Thank I guess?" Ladybug said.
"We don't need a compliment from a villain" Chat deny it.
"You could call me whatever you like, I don't care" The lady reply "I do it on my own will".
"What have you done to Dream Crusher, you almost kill Ladybug too" Chat asked in convinced that she attempt to kill both of them.
"Kill Ladybug? Your imagination must be as long as your whisker, kitten" The Lady said in sarcastic voice "If I was to kill both of you, I will be attending your funeral right now",
"I just be here to deal with this Dream Crusher" The lady continues "Since both couldn't deal with him by yourself".
"You're so arrogant" Chat said.
"Thank for the compliment, I'm arrogant but I can back it up. But you on the other hand, possessed one of the strongest miraculous but you don't know how to use it to it potential, all you do is just try to use it without realize what I can do" The lady teasing "Not like me! Other try. I succeed".
Chat still angry but he must admit that the things she said is kinda right, he started to think careful about his move and plan a proper plan.
"We must do this quickly, mi 'lady your miraculous is about to run out of time and my cataclysm is about to time out" Chat whisper to Ladybug "Do you think that you could distract her while I try to land the cataclysm on her".
"But won't that kill her?" Ladybug hesitate asked.
"No I don't think so, if my cat instinct is correct she must be a miraculous user as well" Chat convinced "If she is a miraculous user my power couldn't kill her just gonna weaken her, trust me I have a personal experience about that".
"Ok let's do this" Ladybug accept the plan and started to distract the lady.
She started to move in the other side to dispersed her vision to make her focus to one at a time. The lady continues to stand still and keeping her sight on both of them.
"Oh, seem like you two are up to something" The lady said "Come then, do NOT hesitate. Let me see what you two got".
They both take caution moves, Ladybug make the first move and swinging her yo-yo from a distance and try her best to chipping away her strength. Obviously she seen through her attack and dodge it easily.
"Using range attack against me? Smart move" The lady compliment "No wonder you are the leader of the hero squad".
"But I won't let myself get defeated by a girl playing a yo-yo" The lady started to make a move and catch the yo-yo in mid-air pull her toward the wall.
"Now where is that kitty?" The lady looked around and trying to finished Chat Noir as well, Chat lunge in a flash and try to hit her.
"Whoa there!" She reflected fast and using her sword to block the cataclysm.
"Yes, now consider you disarmed" Chat happily said.
As he touched the blade, he wasn't expected the blade is still intact and doesn't even have a scratch on it, she flung him back.
"Nice try, kitty" The lady smirk "If you were a better Chat Noir, you may have scratched my blade".
"But what a poor perform. I was expecting more" The lady said in a disappointed voice.
"Ok I get enough of this, no more plan" Chat fury and lunged toward her stomp his staff at her.
In a flash his attack was block by her blade, Chat continue to attack in fury. In his flurry of staff, he almost landed a blow on The lady, she quickly retained and continue with a burst of speed. She spun herself and strike a vertical cut, Chat using his staff to defend it. The ground around him started to crack and he almost fall to her blade. But in a quick succession, he uses all his strength to fling her off.
She flung in the air but as he thinks that he had some slight advantages, she landed on the nearby chimney and immediately jumping back at Chat and land a blow this time using her body as an acceleration. This time Chat loosed his balanced and stumble on the ground, Ladybug rushes to Chat side and take him up.
"Seriously think that you could defeat me with a plan like that?" The lady teased "What a child play".
"MI 'lady we can't defeat her like this" Chat said.
"You tell me" Ladybug said.
"MI 'lady, I have a plan that could get you out of here in one piece" Chat said.
"What is that?" Ladybug asked.
"I will run at her and try to knock her of the building, you will use your yo-yo to stop her from using her sword and then we might have the time to run" Chat said in worry that his plan won't work "This is very risky, but if we could pull this off we will be able to escape".
"Well that is a boldly move but we are out of choice now" Ladybug sign and prepare the second plan "Let's do this".
They both ready and rising their weapon, Chat look at The lady and prepare his staff. The lady stands still and doesn't seem to make any move. Ladybug immediately using her yo-yo and aim for her sword, Chat lunge in using all of his strength to flung her off the building. But just in a flash, she is gone teleport behind him and smirk. A car passing by and by it light Chat catches a glimpse of her scarlet shoulder cape and her dark color robe. He fell off the building.
Ladybug realize that her yo-yo didn't even rooted her, she immediately swung her yo-yo at Chat legs and before he hit the ground. She used all her strength and pull him and luckily she made it.
"Aww, I almost see a cat landed on his head" The lady said in a sarcastic voice "Anyway, thank for the little work out. We will meet in some other time".
As the finished her sentence she vanished into the air and leaving behind a rose, she flees off the scene. Ladybug quickly pull Chat Noir up before too much blood flow to his head.
"Are you ok?" Ladybug asked.
"I'm fine, thank you MI 'lady" Chat reply "Where is she?"
"I don't really know she just vanish into thin air" Ladybug reply.
"Who is she?" Chat curiously asked.
"Well who ever she was, she isn't a bad person" Ladybug said her miraculous started to alert.
"I have to go now Chat, bring Nathaniel back to his home for me will you?" Ladybug continue.
"My pleasure, see you tomorrow night" Chat said.
"Thank, kitty" Ladybug give Chat a last smile before she gets home.
Chat Noir after said goodbye to Ladybug, jump down the alley and take Nathaniel off the ground.
"Where am I?" Nathaniel confusingly asked.
"Well that is a long story" Chat explain "Let's just said that you get akumatized and you kinda wreak havoc to this place. But everything is over, me and ladybug take care of that".
"Now let get you home" Chat said.
After he finished his sentence, he takes Nathaniel on his back and follow Nathaniel direction and take him home. As everything is finishes they both get home and take a break, they are extremely tired from all the fighting.
But what they didn't know, The lady still watched them and she still see them even though she isn't there. A black crow watches from nearby flew through the air and fly back to the top of the Eiffel Tower, from there the crow land on the hand of The lady that they just fought.
The crow return itself into a kwami, it's a black kwami with a talon feet and a crimson red eyes like his master.
"How are they?" The lady asked.
"They got home safely, what is your plan now Ms. Laurent?" The kwami said.
"Well I think that I just found something else to do in this place other than teaching, Grimn" The lady reply.
The light of the Eiffel Tower shine and reveal the face of Ms. Fiora Laurent.
