Chapter 3
Marinette was a bit surprised at the fact that Adrien knew what an akuma was, but didn`t look into it. She turned around and started to run. Looking back, she saw
Adrien running the opposite way. I hope he'll be safe, she thought. She couldn`t bear the thought of losing Adrien, even if he didn`t care for her. He was still one of her
best friends, and that would never change. Marinette ducked into an dark alley. She was about to transform, but saw a shadow adjacent to hers. She whirled around,
hands at the ready to defend herself, but relaxed when she saw who it was. "Hello, princess." "Chat Noir? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be defending the
city?" "I-er, well, you see... I just thought I would drop in and make sure you were okay. You were one of the first ones to get noticed by the akuma." "Chat, I'm fine.
I'm more than capable of defending myself." "Yeah, but just thought I'd make sure." Crash! They both turned around to find the villain throwing bottles of multicolored
liquid at other people right outside the alley. Luckily, he or she (Marinette couldn`t tell) didn`t spot them. "Well, that's my cue. Cat-ch ya later, princess!" He gave a two-
fingered salute before running off to battle. Marinette ran out of the alley and hid behind a car. "Tikki!" The red and black spotted bug flew out. "Yes?" "You know what
time it is. Spots on!"
-POV SWITCH-
Chat pulled out his baton and blocked all the vials thrown at him. The villain kept pulling endless amounts out of his little pouch by his side. He looked kind of annoyed
and wore a grim expression on his face. From what Chat could tell he looked to be a middle-aged man in a lab coat stained with colors, probably from working in a
chemistry lab. Nothing strange there. But then there was his hair. It stuck up all over the place, like a mad scientist. He was even wearing goggles. If Chat hadn`t
known better, he would have said the man was from a mental asylum. "Chat Noir!" His ears perked up. He would recognize that voice anywhere. "Ladybug?" He looked
up. She was sitting on a rooftop waving her hands crazily. What was she doing? She pointed to where the villain was standing. He turned back around...only to come
face to face with a bottle of red liquid.
