Marinette is now walking back and forth in her room, trying to think as hard as she can on how to solve this. The problem is that her friends are watching for both Ladybug coming from this building and normal people as they could leave to transform somewhere else, which means either way she leaves they could be suspicious unless she finds a way to leave undetected or because she has to. She thinks hard until her dad popped his head in, "Marinette, you need to take out the trash and while you do could you buy some things from the store a few blocks away?" She looked at him still trying to think, "No da-, oh what i mean is of course dad! no problem just tell me quickly what you want and need and i'll do it!" Marinette said, even tho the store she has to go to is in the opposite direction she can use this excuse to get by her friends.
So on purpose she accidentally forgot to take it and took the trash and went to the front door, to make it look like she's send on an errand and soon enough her dad came running. "You almost forgot the list of things we need, And make sure you have everything before you come back okay? we need everything on that list to bake the orders for tomorrow" Her dad said and Marinette smiled and closed the door when her father had left, She turned to her friends and showed them her list and the trash. Alya just waved and now Marinette was on her way to do her errand.
Or she could of course delay that and turn into Ladybug to save paris which she of course chose once she got some distance from the shop and was now a little hidden from the people."Good job Marinette! it was really lucky that your father needed help so you could get away" Tikki said and giggled and Marinette smiled "Tikki! Transform me!" She said and soon enough after all the glowing she had the mask on and was now Ladybug. She used her yoyo to get on the top of the building closest to her before she started to fly all over paris towards the evil that papillon had created with his butterfly.
She got above her friends and looked at them before continuing forward, when Alya hears a beep on her phone and she checked it. "Seems like there is something evil terrorizing again, and this means that La-" Alya started talking and then looked at her screen, the other two looked over her shoulder and saw Ladybug come flying in. Which means they had missed her or she wasn't in the building from the beginning. "We need to go there! and you're both coming with me!" Alya said and stood up starting to walk towards the direction the news send from, "What are you waiting for? Come on!" She said and smiled and waved at them to follow her.
"Um, i'm just go-" Adrien started, so he could get away and transform but only to get grabbed on his wrist "No! you're coming too, you came here so you can come with us 'til the end!" She said and started to pull both of them along, and soon they arrived at the scene. Seems like Ladybug is having some problem there, She's fighting all alone against something weird. "Ladybug!" Alya screams when she got hit hard by something from the weird akumatized human and got pushed back hard.
"Well, seems like there still is people here that hasn't been captured yet" and that made Ladybug run towards them grabbing Alyas hand and Adriens hand and ran towards a building, "Come on! follow me!" they ran into the building, and then down most stairs. Then a door opened and cables came flying out and wrapped around all four of them before anyone could react, and forced them into a small room, which was a computer room. The monitors started up and then an image came up "Well, Ladybug seems like your luck has run out. Just give up!" Ladybug just stared at him angrily "Well, maybe now but let's see later when i kick your ass if my luck is gone by then!" She said and slammed on the door, trying to get it open. "It won't budge, but is everyone here okay? no one is hurt right?" She asked and looked at the three, She was a little confused on what to do with them since she didn't think they would follow her there, well maybe Alya but the other two was a different thing.
"We're okay but what are you gonna do now Ladybug?" Alya said, she looked around herself and there was only one way out and that was locked. Soon the monitor changed to something else, seems like this room is the security room and they could see the other rooms and corridors on the monitors on the wall. "Hmm, i don't know yet but i will figure something out" She looked around in the room, "Do you guys see any keys, this is a security room so there should be some here. And check if you can see some movement around in the building" Ladybug started to say out loud. After some time searching they stopped "No keys except one but that's on the other side of this door in the lock, can't find anything except cables, computers and some paper in here tho."
"I guess i don't have a choice, I'll have to use that now." She said and grabbed her yoyo. "Lucky charm!" She said and soon enough a paper clip fell down, "Huh a pin? What should i do with this one?" She scanned around the room, her eyes landed first on the gap between the floor and the door, then on the paper on the desk and lastly her paper clip. She took the paper, and placed it under the door. "What are you gonna do now Ladybug?" She smiled as she pushed the paper clip in the lock and soon you heard the key fall down and she dragged the paper back and now the key was in her hand. "Good job Ladybug!" Alya and Nino said together.
She unlocked the door and took a step outside to check, and the cables started to fly around crazy and grabbed all three that was still inside the room. "Oh no! Alya! Adrian! Nino!" She screamed and slammed on the door, "Ladybug! The door is locked! and the key is gone!" Alya slammed the door with her hands and pushed it, but to no help. Soon a laugher echoed in the hallway, "Well well poor ladybug her friends got trapped without her, if you don't want them to get hurt by the cables in there you better do what i say" Ladybug didn't listen tho, she turned to the door quickly and threw her yoyo, which damaged the cables and that released her friends, now they were all running in the corridor. While everyone was running Adrien was trying to find a place where he could transform to help Ladybug. "Don't get away from me now!" Ladybug said and looked at them, and glanced at Adrien before turning back to running.
but soon they all got cut off soon when the other electronics started to block her way, She slammed into one of the rooms and it was a dead end, which meant that the electronically person would soon be in here. But no one came in, she could hear his voice tho "Are you ready to get defeated by Elektromic? Well not like you have much options since your time is running out" Elektromic laughed which echoed in the room, She didn't know where the voice came from or what to do because he was right she only had around 3 more minutes left from the transformation.
"Don't even think of running away anymore, well not like you can!" He laughed at it, we're like sheeps waiting to get feasted on by the wolf. "Tell me! What will you do? Wait for the effect to wear off and show everyone who is under the mask, and i will take the earrings by force Or will you give me your earrings- well still the same, Show them who you are under the mask?" Marinette looked around herself, she couldn't see the Elektromic but she could hear him, and then she noticed the cameras was moving after her. There was one by the door, one on the left side of the room and one by the window. It seems like this Akumatized person can enter electricity and that's how it can control the cables and use the computers, but what if he can't see without the cameras.
she looked at her friends and clenched her fist around her yoyo, She needs to somehow make him blind and get away before she transform to keep her secret of who she is under the mask. She looks around to see if there is anything else that he could be controlling, but she can't find anything so she spins her yoyo and threw it to the cameras. But a cable hits the yoyo instead "Don't even think of it, i won't let you stop me from seeing who you are!" She looks around for anything. What should she do, soon her transformation is gone and chat noir is not there yet and everyone will see who she is if she doesn't get away somehow. The door was blocked and there were only one small windows in there but there was no other way out, The room had 3 cameras.
She had two choices, either leave quickly and hoping that nothing would happen to her friends before she comes back. Or she stay and have to do something she isn't allowed to do to make sure they don't get hurt, but what should she bet on. leaving her friends for a short amount of time hoping they'll be okay, or Stay and revealing who she is and without tikki here to tell her the right choice she don't know what to do but she has to choose fast before it's too late.
"Ladybug, you should leave now, get your strength back then help us" Adrien said and she looked at him and towards the others that was nodding to Marinette to do what Adrien said, so she smiled a sad smile while she picked something up from the floor and walked to the window. "I already know what i'm gonna do, i just hope it's the right thing to do" And she looked up at them and breathed out slowly.
