Chat Noir Claws Of Shadows III Rise of the Blood Moon Chapter 4 Nine Lives
Adrian woke up slowly to see Marienette who was holding a get well soon card so he can feel better.
"Thanks hun but the doctor said I should make a full recovery in a few minutes, thanks for the card though" Adrian said smiling.
Hearing that news made Mari very happy and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great news honey so when are you going to back out in the battlefield?" Marienette asked getting her hopes up.
"Not for a few hours at a time but don't worry I'll be back out there I promise" Adrian promised.
Marienette's string of good luck was cut short by that announcement Adrian made.
"Are you sure you can't get out sooner?" Marienette pleaded desperate to get her lover back.
"Not that I know of, I'm really sorry sweetie" Adrian apologized.
No words came out of Marienette's mouth but a slight bite of her lower lip followed by tears.
"Whoa Mari it's ok" Adrian reassured, letting his fiance cry on his shoulder.
Inside the church Korin paced back and forth disappointed at Adam for not keeping Ladybug restrained so there would be no chance of escape but that was taken away along with the corruption. She wasn't mad at them just not happy with how the plan went, as she was about to speak a certain fox walked in surprising all three of them.
"And who might you be?" Korin asked.
"Call me a friend who knows that cat and bug partnership more than anyone" she said.
"Why should we trust you?" Syrin asked suspicious of this fox.
She stepped into the light to reveal the fox miraculous holder: Volpina.
"Volpina the fox, never thought you would ever show your face around here" Adam said.
Korin punched him in the shoulder to shut him up before walking over to this uninvited guest in their church.
"Now what brings you here Volpina?" Korin asked, wanting to know what her true intentions are.
"I can help you get those morons and bring back the queen of bad luck herself Lady Misfortune. I would also say Chat Blanc but he got control of it so that wouldn't work" Volpina explained.
"How do you plan to do that? You have no idea where they could be?" Syrin asked unimpressed.
A single spear whizzed past Syrin's head as that could impale him cleanly made him think twice.
"Since I'm such good friends with them I will bring Ladybug here so we can start the corruption again without outside interference" Volpina said.
Korin liked this idea and soon enough Adam was onboard with it. Syrin was still a little skeptical about the whole thing.
"Syrin I suggest you help unless you-" He punched Volpina in the face hard.
Volpina didn't move just turned her head around to face him before driving her hand into his upper body, ripping out his heart. Korin watched impressed at what she was seeing as Syrin fell to the ground dead as Volpina squashed his heart into nothing but blood on her hands.
This Volpina character is very violent I like that about her Korin thought.
"So we clear mistress?" Volpina asked licking the blood from her fingers.
Korin nodded in agreement with her and Adam did so as well so he wouldn't suffer the same fate Syrin just did.
After a few minutes Adrian was moving again but just had a back suppressor implanted in his spine. He walked out of his room to meet Marienette who was in good spirits as she embraced her husband.
"I'm so happy to see that you're doing ok sweetheart I missed you so much" Marienette said holding Adrian tightly.
"Yep this cat is back in action" Adrian said with a bright smile on his face that shined brightly.
Marienette giggled.
The celebration would have to be short lived when a breaking news story of Volpina along with Korin causing mayhem all over Parin showed up on one of the TV's.
"Looks like we have a mission" Marienette said prepping herself for her transformation.
Adrian nodded.
Both ran out of the hospital to to find those two about to harm a child but Mari's lucky charm grabbed Korin's arm giving him a chance to escape.
"Marienette long time no see" Volpina commented on their last encounter.
"Shut it fox we're not here for a playdate. What we are here for is to take you down again" Adrian said in a more menacing tone.
Marienette was shocked to hear Adrian use that kind of tone of voice before, she thought it was kinda sexy.
Adrian changed into Chat Noir and charged at Volpina, having his claws out he scratched half of her face making her scream in agony.
"You little pussycat! I'll end you!" Volpina threatened.
She punched him in the gut in between his solar plexus but Adrian got back in the swing of things and wrapped his legs around Volpina's neck then turning his body in a shifting motion sending the fox into Paris Harbor waters where her flute was floating above water but Volpina disappeared from view.
"That takes care of that little problem now to deal with Korin" Adrian said.
Ladybug avoided another energy blast, turning it into a double kick to the face knocking her out cold.
Chat Noir came up to hug her bugaboo for her amazing display.
"You have done well Ladybug and Chat Noir" Adam congratulated them.
Chat was about to attack him, Marienette stopped him dead in his tracks.
"Why didn't you help them?" Mari asked.
"There are some things that even I myself don't want to participate in. My life before this was a painter and now that I am free I must go meet Misfortune. I thank you Ladybug and maybe we'll meet again someday" Adrian explained disappearing for the last time.
Goodbye Adam Adrian thought.
The sun started to set in the east as Marienette quietly thanked Adam for loosening the restraints.
Deep inside the water, Volpina laid there almost lifeless after that sudden move by Noir.
That was until she opened her eyes and this time they were crimson red.
