The next day, Marinette and Adrien were both in class, listening to another one of Ms. Mendeleiev's endless lessons when an ear-splitting crash sounded from outside.

"AKUMA!"

"LADYBUG AND CHAT NOIR! Hand over your Miraculous before all of Paris forgets its true identity!"

Muffled shouts from outside sounded, sending the class into a panicked frenzy.

"Ok class! Stay calm and make your way home right now! Ladybug and Chat Noir will be here to save us soon, I hope," Ms Mendeleiev shouted, ushering the students out of the class.

Slipping away from everyone else, Marinette and Adrien both found separate places where they could transform unnoticed and made their way to the scene.

Landing on the top of a building next to Chat Noir, Ladybug turned to her partner with a glint of determination in her eyes.

He didn't look at her.

Undeterred, Ladybug continued with her plan.

"Ok, so where do you think the akuma is Chat?"

Chat Noir fixed Ladybug with an icy glare and stood up straight.

"I'm not sure. Aren't you more than capable of figuring it out yourself? Since you don't need to be saved, surely you don't need someone like me getting in your way," Chat Noir huffed, his voice angrier then he'd anticipated.

He had a perfectly good reason to be angry at Ladybug anyway; she'd really hurt him last night. Turning away to survey the scene, Chat Noir listened as Ladybug sought a reply.

"Chat Noir, you're not still angry about last night, are you?" she asked cautiously.

"Maybe I am, what's it to you?" he replied angrily.

"Look, we can continue this later. Do you know what he does yet? I can't seem to figure it out," Ladybug pressed on, knowing that she would have to push away her personal drama and focus on saving this akuma victim. Squinting at villain, who was shooting at civilians, Ladybug's brow furrowed.

"We're going to have to watch him first to find out what he can do," she explained, looking to Chat Noir for a reply.

Nothing.

"Well, you go your way, and I'll go mine. I'm going to take him on," Chat Noir stated, jumping off the roof and running in the direction of the villain.

From her position on the building, Ladybug watched Chat Noir's black suit weave in and out of the houses. Ladybug gave an exasperated sigh.

Honestly.

Chat Noir could be so stubborn at times.

"I am Rememberwrath, and no one will ever forget me again!" the villain shouted, spreading his arms wide. Hopefully this would bring Ladybug and Chat Noir to him.

As if on cue, Chat Noir came out from his hiding place and leant on his stick nonchalantly.

"What did you say sorry?" Chat Noir asked mischievously, the devilish glint returning to his green eyes, "I did know, but I don't recall."

Rememberwrath seethed with rage and leapt from the top of the monument, twisting and turning in mid-air. Landing in front of Chat Noir with a thud, they glared at one another, ready for a fight.

"How dare you mock me. Don't worry, I'll remember to collect your Miraculous when I'm done with you," Rememberwrath spat.

Without warning, he charged forward, aiming kicks and swinging at Chat Noir, who noticed that he was extremely agile, and that without his powers he would have been a dancer? A boxer maybe?

Rememberwrath launched a powerful punch at Chat Noir's stomach, catching him off guard and sending him flying backwards into the side of a car.

Yep, definitely a boxer, thought Chat Noir.

Springing back onto his feet, Chat Noir rushed at his rival but Rememberwrath was quick and swung Chat Noir into a one of the legs of the Eiffel Tower. Chat Noir struggled to ignore the pain as he writhed on the ground. It became suddenly apparent to him that he was missing his partner.

Actually, where was Ladybug?

Sorry if you're finding this a bit boring so far, but I've needed to do these chapters so that I can set up what's about to happen. I will try to publish everything that I've already done so that I can get up to the good bit.

Thanks for reading :)
