"No, you don't!" Binder shouted. He twisted suddenly, his strength surprising Ladybug momentarily and pulling her off her feet. She slammed right into Cat Noir as he jumped through the air, leaving both to topple to the ground at Binder's feet. With the cord slackened, Binder easily shook off the restraining yoyo.
"Now you're mine," Binder was grinning with menace as he whipped his chain down at the heroes laying at his feet. Both rolled away quickly, but Ladybug wasn't quite fast enough. She felt the cold metal of the chain wrap around her torso, pinioning her in much the same way she had just done to Binder. He gave a tug on his chain, pulling Ladybug closer, as he reached down to pull off her earrings.
"Ladybug, no!" Cat Noir shouted, leaping forward, staff swinging. Binder jumped away just in time, dragging Ladybug with him. Cat Noir continued to press the attack, trying to break the chain, but Binder kept one step ahead of him, always tugging or dragging Ladybug with him. Luckily, the magic of the miraculous made the wielder nearly invulnerable. Still, having her face dragged along the ground was an unpleasant experience for Ladybug.
All the while, she continued to struggle, trying to free herself from the chains. It's no good, she realized, they're too tight. As the chase continued, Binder backed up against the edge of the roof, lifting Ladybug off the ground and dangling her over the edge. She gulped as she looked into the alley, too far below for her liking. Luckily, there was a fire escape just below her, but Binder didn't seem to have noticed it.
"Don't you dare," Cat Noir growled threateningly. Binder chuckled in response.
"I can get her miraculous later," he said, "first I need to deal with you." There was a harsh, cracking sound as, all of a sudden, Ladybug felt herself falling. The chain had been detached, and now she was plummeting into the alley.
"You'll pay for that!" Cat Noir growled at the villain, feeling rage build up inside him. Please be okay, Ladybug, he pleaded silently.
The villain was moving forward now, trying to grab Cat Noir with his chain as well. He kept out of the way, trying to find some cover. Leaping back, he ducked behind an air conditioning unit on the roof. Behind him was a billboard and he wondered if that could be used to his advantage somehow.
"That won't help you!" Binder shouted. Cat Noir saw a chain wrap around the air conditioning unit he was hiding behind. It was torn apart as he leapt away.
"I think I need to put a chain on you!" Cat Noir shouted as he moved in to attack again, staff swinging, "You're out of control!"
The chain came swinging out again, trying to grapple him, but Cat Noir dodged easily out of the way. Carefully he maneuvered himself away from Binder and toward the alley where Ladybug was dropped. He had to make sure she was okay. Nothing else mattered to him.
With a sweep of the legs, Cat Noir dropped Binder to the ground. Seizing the opportunity, he turned and jumped, landing on the lip of the rooftop. He immediately spotted Ladybug struggling against her bonds on the fire escape just a couple floors below him. He sighed in relief, about to jump down to her, when he heard a movement behind him.
Cat Noir jumped to the side just in time, balancing precariously on the edge of the roof as the chain went flying past him. Now that he knew Ladybug was okay, he could focus on Binder.
"Time to finish this," Cat Noir's confident tone had returned, lifting his right hand in the air, "Cataclysm!"
As he shouted, the chain that had whipped past him suddenly pulled to the side, slamming into him. Before he knew it, his left arm and torso were wrapped up in thick chains. He had been caught.
