Thank you firestorm100 for following!
All the zombies surged forward, weapons and all. The ghosts had weapons too, and Ladybug soon found out that despite being impossible to touch, the ghosts were still able to weild swords.
Ladybug swung her yo-yo, tying half a dozen zombies together. Using both hands, she pulled them back, then used the force to pull them forward again, knocking about ten zombies off the edge. She repeated the process a few times, then released the zombies from her yo-yo, leaving them sprawled on the ground and groaning.
Ladybug used her yo-yo to knock the swords out of some of the advancing enemies' hands, but they still charged forward, determined to grab her miraculous.
She felt lucky that Queen Ghost wasn't firing at her with her wand, too. The villian was sitting back in her throne, letting her army do all the dirty work for her. In one hand was her wand, but it was relaxed. Queen Ghost was in no hurry to turn Ladybug into a zombie.
Wait a minute...The wand is what turned the civilians into zombies and summoned the ghosts. If I break it, the zombies and ghosts might disappear. And if I'm really lucky, the akuma will be in there too.
Ladybug threw her yo-yo, tying it around the wand. Queen Ghost yelped in surprise, then started pulling the wand towards her, trying to free it from the yo-yo. Ladybug manipulated the yo-yo so that it squeezed the wand, but the yo-yo just slipped off instead of breaking it.
Queen Ghost laughed. "My wand is indestructible! You'll never break it with your silly toy."
Meanwhile, the army had been advancing, and now they were almost upon Ladybug. The heroine deflected a sword with her yo-yo and took a step backward. Pressing her back against a beam, she spun her yo-yo in front of her, making a shield. One ghost hit the shield with its sword, and sparks flew. The rest stayed close but did not attempt to attack her.
After almost a full minute, her arm began to get tired. She could keep this up only for so much time. But if she let her guard down for a second, then the zombies and ghosts would attack her. Even if she could manage to continue this, Queen Ghost might get impatient and turn her into a zombie.
The zombies fanned out in front of her, swords ready. Queen Ghost smirked at Ladybug and twirled her wand, as if already imagining what she would look like as a servant to the queen.
Ladybug looked at the city below, hoping for help. Where are you, Cat Noir?

"How do you plan to defeat this villain?"
"Look, I'd love to answer your questions bu-"
"Will you call for backup?"
Cat Noir sighed. "I'm really sorry Alya, But I have to go-"
"Help Ladybug?" The blogger guessed. "Okay, but can I get an interview later?"
Beep beep. His ring flashed. He glanced nervously at it, then turned his attention back to Alya. "Uh, maybe?" He took a few steps backward.
"And can you get Ladybug too? It would be awesome if I could get the two superheroes of Paris on my blog!"
Cat Noir's ring beeped again. "I'll ask her. But I really got to get going."
Alya nodded. "Of course. Thanks for saving me!" She switched her camera off.
"Anytime." Beep-beep. He took one more step backward, then turned and bolted to the nearest alley.
Cat Noir sighed in relief, and his ring beeped one last time before releasing a wave of green magic over him, dropping his transformation. Plagg spiraled out of the ring and into Adrien's hands.
"Cheese," the kwami groaned.
Adrien chuckled. "Don't worry, Plagg. I think I have some of your stinky camembert in here.." He dug around in one of his shirt pockets, but there was nothing there. He searched his other pockets, but they were empty.
"Oh no," Adrien muttered.
"What's wrong?"
Adrien held his breath. "I'm all out of cheese."
Plagg's wails echoed throughout the alley.
The poll is still tied. I'll keep it up until somebody decides to vote and break the tie. Remember, all you have to do is go to my profile and the poll will be there.
Thanks for reading this chapter! See you guys next Thursday!
