OHHHH we are getting to the good stuff now! Duet is Fixed!

Purplefern! Thanks so much for the help! I fixed it without a catastrophe befalling me. (Haha see what I did there?)

The-Unnamed-Artist… of course they are oblivious that's what makes this so much fun! I've always wondered what these people think to see a pair of 16 year olds running around saving their world. Like seriously at 16 you have to ask to go to the bathroom in school and have an adult get you into an R-rated movie and no one cares that these two are just saving Paris from monsters essentially? I know it's a cartoon but it just makes me giggle.

Oh I also see that people draw fanart for stories on this site. If you guys see any for mine can you let me know? I love fan art since I am not the best at drawing and I am crap at finding things on the internet so yeah…

Man who likes spiders gets akumafied turning him into Arachnis. Can Ladybug defeat this natural enemy or will Chats wild side get the better of him and cause him to do the unthinkable?

Oh yes... I dont own this show...

Arachnophobia (Part 3)

At times like these Ladybug was grateful for the unconscious communication that the two of them seemed to share. One glance was all it took and she had her arms wrapped around his neck as he sent them soaring sky high over the webs by elongating his baton. They fell forward and Chat wrapped his free hand around her waist as they cleared the last webs giving them an unobstructed view of the plaza below. There were four people in the plaza below two adults that neither of them recognized, Alya, and Nino. Nino had a knife in his hand and was partially covered in webs as he sliced some poor screaming woman out of a cocoon. He was over six feet off the ground and Alya was shoving at the people on the ground clearly trying to get them to move. The adults were frozen in fear staring at Arachnis who was rapidly advancing on them.

As they fell Ladybug slung out her yoyo to catch on some thick webbing that crossed the span of the Plaza and as one the superhero duo twisted their bodies causing them to soar straight at Arachnis.

"My Dinner!" Arachnis shrieked coming up on the children who despite his sudden appearance were still trying to help his flies flee. "How dare you…"

In the next moment he was slammed sideways by twin impacts. Chat and Ladybugs feet hit the cobbles as Arachnis slammed through some of his webbing then into a short wall.

"Get the people out. Use you claws if you have to and I'll keep this thing busy!" Ladybug snapped and Chat while he didn't agree with the idea didn't want to argue. She wouldn't give him a job in the heat of battle for no good reason and as he ran towards the still trapped people he realized that she didn't have any real fast way to free a person from webbing. They both knew that this particular akuma wouldn't back off easy so any people in the area would only serve as a hindrance to them. Sliding his baton back into place at his lower back Chat hauled the two adults to their feet shoving them towards a tunnel like entrance in the webs.

"Get moving if you don't want to be eaten!" Chat snapped before leaping into the webs themselves to free more of the trapped victims.

Ladybug was avoiding acid spit and was extremely grateful that Chat had agreed to free the people without any kind of argument. All she had to do was keep this dammed Arachnis on this side of the plaza and everything would be fine. The problem was that Arachnis was bound and determined to catch the people he referred to as flies. He sprayed webbing at her forcing Ladybug to leap sideways giving him the slightest bit of room to try and dodge through her defense again. Throwing her yoyo out she managed to catch him about his waist and heaving with all her strength she threw him. He flew several feet before smashing into the ground and sliding to a stop almost at some ones feet. In the next instant Ladybugs heart stopped because as she turned ready to go after Arachnis again she suddenly realized that she had thrown the akuma practically at Alyas feet. Somehow in the fighting she had slipped around the far side of the plaza and was still filming as she gazed down at Arachnis.

"What are you doing! RUN!" Ladybug screamed at her but it was already too late.

Arachnis rolled and scooped her off her feet making her let out a terrified shriek before leaping into the nearest webbing. He skittered sideways just barely avoiding Ladybugs yoyo then disappeared over the top of the wall.

"Chat catch up!" Ladybug tossed over her shoulder and ignoring his return comment launched herself after them.

"You should wait for Chat." Tiki cried inside her mind and Ladybug grimaced

"I can't Tiki he has Alya and it's my fault." She replied "Besides I can't let her get hurt."

Arachnis wasn't making it easy to follow as he shot webs behind him at random intervals and seemed perfectly comfortable making leaps that even Ladybug had difficulty doing. She was falling behind and as he cleared a massive building she fully lost sight of him. Screams echoed over to her making her heart clench painfully.

"No!" Ladybug snapped and jumped onto the nearby buildings going around in hopes that she would be able to catch sight of Arachnis once more. It took her precious seconds to get across the street and back up onto the roofs and she paused at the corner deciding that this was the perfect place for a trap. Webs stretched out across an outdoor café over 15 up feet from the ground and sitting near the center of the net like webs was Alya. She was messily cocooned and Ladybug could see she was desperately trying to pull herself free.

"Trap?" Tiki queried and Marinette nodded pressing herself against the side of the building to stay out of sight. "Oh it's definitely a trap." She muttered as her yoyo vibrated gently.

Flipping it open she saw Chat hair flying as he moved at top speed. "I have your position and will be there in less than a minute. Paw-lease don't attack without me." He said and Ladybug rolled her eyes.

"Better get here quick because he has Alya pinned in some webs. Its obviously a trap but I don't see him quite yet."

Chat grimaced "We really need to have a talk with that girl about self preservation." He muttered and Ladybug agreed before hanging up. 40 seconds later Chat moved into place next to her panting from the break necked pace he had set himself at.

As his breathing began to slow Ladybug shifted still not seeing Arachnis. "I still don't see him are you ok to make a move now or do you need another minute?" she asked

Chat shook his head. "I'm fine. You get Alya out and I will keep Arachnis busy this time."

"Chat…" Ladybug began and Chat pressed a finger ever so gently to her lips.

"Its my turn to be the bait My Lady." He whispered causing a blush to spread over her cheeks. Then before she could object he darted out onto the webbing.

Six steps out into the webbing a black blur detached itself from the out of sight main wall and flew at Chat in an air attack. Knowing he didn't see it coming and unable to scream a warning in time Ladybug threw her yoyo catching Arachnis human legs and hauled back throwing him off his trajectory. Instead of landing directly on Chat, Arachnis landed awkwardly to the side and Chat spun lashing upwards with his staff. Trusting her partner to keep Arachnis busy Ladybug charged out across the thick net like webbing to where Alya lay.

"Hold very still." She said and Alya went rock solid as Ladybug slashed her free using her yoyo.

"I'm so sorry!" Alya cried leaping into Ladybugs arms as soon as she was able. Ladybug returned the hug knowing what little comfort she could offer would still help.

"Alya, I need to get you out of harms way so we can fight this thing. I'm going to lower you to the ground using my yoyo and then you need to get indoors. Please don't try and stick around to tape anything ok?"

"NO way. I'm sick of spiders." Alya managed untangling her arms from Ladybugs shoulders.

"So am I." Ladybug answered swiftly wrapping her yoyo around Alyas middle. Once she was tied off Ladybug pushed Alya through one of the net webbings many holes and started to lower her to the ground. As Alyas feet hit the ground a yelp captured Ladybugs attention and she gasped in horror. Chat was pinned his one leg and arm trapped in webbing as Arachnis acid spit dripped onto his suit causing him to writhe in pain. Arachnis clawed human hands scrabbled at him trying to get in close to his miraculous. Only Chats baton was stopping him from taking it at this point as he managed keep him off and Ladybug cried out "NO!" before sprinting at the two. Thankfully Alya had managed to get free of Ladybugs yoyo and it snapped to her hand as she made a running leap right onto Arachnis back. Looping the yoyo string into Arachnis jaw she yanked back with all of her incredible strength jerking his whole body upright.

"My Lady!" Chat cried alarmed as he watched Arachnis body buck and stumble as he tried to throw her off. The acid on his arm and chest burned as he swiped at the webbing with his claws slowly working his way free.

Arachnis bucked under Ladybug and she desperately tried to hold on and give Chat the time needed to free himself. She felt like one of those cowboys in a rodeo and she found that she had a new sense of respect for them as Arachnis shrieked and twisted beneath her. Suddenly he threw himself sideways, his body twisting awkwardly as he finally managed to dislodge her. She slid sideways managing to hold onto her yoyo even though she was unable to catch her footing as he ripped the yoyo string from his mouth. Realizing she was off Arachnis twisted sharply jerking Ladybug off the net as he slung her sideways and she hit the webbing rolling a few turns before partially falling through one of the holes. Scrambling for a hold she caught herself and hooked a foot into the webbing to climb back up. In hindsight it was a bad decision for in the next moment webbing struck her in the chest pinning her in the hole. Spinning her yoyo in a swift arc she lashed out at Arachnis who caught the yoyo in a web blast slamming it to the net web before it did any damage to himself or the web under his claws. Ladybug struggled against the webbing trying to rip it apart as Arachnis advanced his mandibles clicking. Two web blasts later and she couldn't even move her arms.

"Mmmmm what a pretty little bug I've caught." He hissed drawing close enough that she could see the damage Chats Baton had done to his eyes earlier. Three of the eight were grayed out and for a brief moment she wondered if he was going to be blind even after he was deakumasized. She hadn't left him unscathed either in their brief skirmishes. His fur was looking very much worse for wear, two of his sharp teeth were missing from his jaw, and a bloodstain covered a small part of his jacket. She swallowed hard at the last observation, she hoped it was his blood on the jacket and not some poor strangers. Hawkmoths mask flashed over his face and Arachnis twisted his head at an awkward angle that made Ladybugs stomach churn.

"Yes, yes, but cat I eat her?" he asked and Ladybug gaped at him in horror.

"Chat!" she screamed hoping he at least was freeing himself.

Arachnis flinched back as the mask flashed across his face again then slowly he reached a clawed hand out to her ears. "Fine duty first food later." He murmured

"Marinette I can't do anything!" Tiki cried frantically in her mind her fear for her charge as well as herself practically palpable.

Revulsion surged through her as Ladybug jerked her head to the side and twisted her body as far as it could go as she did everything in her power to avoid those hands touching her ears. "Don't touch me!" Ladybug screeched kicking at the underside of the web as clawed finger tips pressed against the back of her earlobe.

"I'm coming!" She heard Chat yell but she knew it wouldn't be in time. In sheer desperation, knowing it was her only option Ladybug twisted her head and sank her teeth deep into Arachins' hand.

Arachnis roared and tried to yank his hand back but Ladybug refused to let go. She knew the consequences of letting go and she was not about to face those consequences without a serious fight.

In the next moment however a brown blur flashed past her and pain exploded along her shoulder. Screaming she released Arachnis hand swiftly realizing that his teeth were now sunk deep into her shoulder. It felt as if a dozen hypodermic needles were all jabbed an inch deep into her and they burned like fire as Archnis jaw clenched down harder.

"Marinette!" Tiki screeched as Ladybug echoed her scream out loud.

"CATACLYSM!" Chat roared and the webbing all around them seemed to dissolve at once.

HA! Well technically it wasn't a scream this time…
