Ladybug twirled her yo-yo like a lasso, feeling stuck in Chrysalis's cave. She felt One for All, but just barely. She tried to focus on its power in that moment, but it wasn't responding very well. Something about Chrysalis putting Midoriya in a trance was really throwing off One for All. It was like it was trying to help him in any way that it could, so it was trying to go back to Midoriya. She tried to use her wings, but they were barely responding as well.
Once she looked at Cat Noir, she could tell that he was having the same problem as well. She could still feel that weird sensation that she got through her neck and all over her as Chrysalis caught Bakugo. She wanted to help him, but she didn't know what to do in that moment.
"Chrysalis! Let go of him!" Queen Bee cried out with tears in her eyes.
"Aww! Does Queen Bee have feelings for this hot head? You two are so meant for each other," Chrysalis said to her as she messed up his hair a little.
Ladybug clenched her teeth as she tried to think of something that she could do. Midoriya needed help, but now Bakugo needed to get out of here as well. Even Uraraka was caught and being held down by HawkMoth.
"What do we do, milady?" Cat Noir asked her, "We're kind of stuck here."
"Yeah. I can tell," Ladybug said back as she looked around for a moment.
Ladybug looked all around the cave and noticed something off about the crystals. They looked clear, but something about them looked a little off. Something about them looked slightly purple and green, and she didn't understand why. Something about it seemed off and didn't know if she could use that somehow. Before she could do anything however, Jirou cried out in pain. Kaminari and Cat Noir looked over at her and were instantly shocked to see her earphone jack on the ground. Kaminari ran over to her before Cat Noir could, but he still felt sick to his stomach.
"Jirou, wh-what happened?!" Kaminari cried out with shocked eyes, "Y-Your quirk..."
Cat Noir felt like he was going to throw up when Kaminari held her earphone jack in his hands. Jirou held her ear since it hurt so much with tears streaming down her face. Cat Noir's eyes locked onto Jirou's crying face and felt something for her as his fists clenched up.
"That's what you get for spying on us, wannabe hero," Chrysalis said to her, "You should stay out of this. Besides, Adrien didn't deserve to be dating someone as annoying and weird as you."
Cat Noir clenched his fists as he felt One for All building up inside of him. Ladybug noticed him getting angry and tried to get him calm down. He didn't even notice her as he glared daggers at Chrysalis. She locked eyes with him, knowing full well that he was Adrien. He felt his entire body build up with One for All inside of him. His eyes grew wide in anger seeing Jirou hurt.
"You... Keep your hands off of Kyouka!" Cat Noir yelled out.
He launched at Chrysalis, ready to attack her. Before he could, her wings spread out and it made him really dizzy in a matter of seconds. Chrysalis caught him before he could fall to the ground. He tried to get out of her grasp and almost called out cataclysm.
"Adrien, you shouldn't have dated someone like her," Chrysalis whispered to him, "She's nothing but trash. You're not even from here. You should've gone out with me, not Kyouka, not Kagami or Marinette."
Chrysalis grabbed his hand and tried to slip his Miraculous off of his finger. Ladybug threw her yo-yo at Chrysalis and wrapped it around her leg.
"Let go of him, Lila!" Ladybug cried out, "Whatever you're going through has nothing to do with Adrien or Cat Noir!"
Chrysalis ruffled with his hair, making Ladybug really annoyed. Then she noticed Chrysalis's sly smile when she was getting a closer look at Cat Noir and Ladybug. She looked at Midoriya, and Ladybug could tell what she was getting at. Ladybug even felt a little off when she spotted her wings spreading out for all of them to look at. No one was affected by it except for Ladybug and Cat Noir, making Chrysalis smile from ear to ear.
"So it is true. Ladybug and Cat Noir really do have One for All inside of them," Chrysalis said to them with a smile, "You two just made things easier for me. Maybe you should've left this cave alone after all."
Chrysalis held Cat Noir close to her, creeping him out a lot. She showed off her fangs, making his eyes widen and froze in place.
"This still doesn't change anything. Izuku is still mine," Chrysalis said to them.
Before anyone could react, Chrysalis bit down on Cat Noir's neck.
"Cat Noir!" Jirou cried out through her tears.
Everyone was too stunned to do anything, but then went after her. Then Ladybug felt her knees buckle underneath her, feeling something coming over her. Ladybug felt herself start to feel drained from something Chrysalis was doing to Cat Noir. She held her stomach since she felt sick to her stomach.
"Ladybug?!" Iida cried out, "What's wrong?!"
Ladybug could barely move as she gripped onto her yo-yo. She could feel One for All slipping away from her, even her wings felt like they were barely there anymore. At any moment, she could feel her Miraculous energy draining from her earrings, and they were going to make her detransform.
"M-My Miraculous... I-I can't..." Ladybug trailed off, feeling her hands shaking.
Ladybug had to get them out of there. Bakugo and Uraraka were stuck, but just by the looks of it her and Cat Noir had to get out of there. One for All was in trouble, and she had to do something to stop Chrysalis from taking it. She could barely stand up, but she had to do something to help her partner.
"Lila! You need to stop this now!"
Everyone looked back at Midoriya to see him somewhat out of his trance. His eyes still looked a bit off, but he fought his way out of it. Chrysalis stopped taking One for All from Cat Noir and looked at Midoriya. Ladybug noticed that her eyes were so fixated on Midoriya that she let go of Cat Noir. Mr. Aizawa quickly caught him, and Ladybug felt like she could relax a little. Chrysalis locked onto Midoriya, and she seemed a bit different from before. Something about her seemed less intimidating and more shocked. Ladybug noticed that her eyes looked like a soft green and a not piercing purple.
"I-Izuku... What just happened...?" Lila asked him.
"The Butterfly Miraculous and my Miraculous is messing with you! You've gotta take it off! Now!" Midoriya cried out.
Ladybug was shocked to see this happening. Lila was looking at him like she needed help. She had never seen her look so scared before. Something about it made her realize that Midoriya really was right this whole time. Before she could take it off, her hands began to shake and gripped onto her head. Midoriya tried to get out of the silk and broke his hand out of it.
"Lila! Come on! I know that you can do this!" Midoriya cried out.
Before he could reach out to her, Chrysalis turned around and shot silk at him. It hit his arm back, and she slammed him into the wall. He felt like he got the wind knocked out of him as she spit silk onto him some more. Her wings spread out, revealing her eyes to be purple again. Her smile grew wide with sweat beading down her forehead.
"Izuku Midoriya... You just don't know when to quit, do you?" Chrysalis asked him, "I told you already. Lila is not getting out of this one and neither are you."
Ladybug looked at Cat Noir to notice a bite mark on him. He had a similar bite mark like Midoriya and with poison as well. He looked like he was sweating a lot from it. She looked at everyone who was stuck in the silk, and they couldn't do much to help Midoriya out of this mess. Even Bakugo and Uraraka were in their grasp.
"We've gotta get everyone out of here," Mr. Aizawa demanded to his students, "Pegasus, can you use Voyage?"
"Y-Yes sir," Pegasus said back, clearly a little hesitant.
"B-But what about Katsuki and Ochaco?" Ladybug asked him, "We can't just leave them behind!"
"Ladybug, we've gotta go! Now!" Mr. Aizawa demanded, "I'm not willing to let everyone get hurt and poisoned. They will be okay."
Pegasus created a portal, and some of them made it through. Ladybug was hesitant to go through, but she did knowing full well that they will come back for them. Chrysalis noticed them getting away and flew straight at them.
"You're not getting away that easily!" Chrysalis cried out.
Before Ladybug could launch after her, someone beat her to it. They launched back into the cave, stopping Chrysalis from getting through. Ladybug's eyes widened when she realized that it was Queen Bee. She stood there, ready to protect them.
"Go Ladybug. Get out of here," Queen Bee said with her back turned to them, "One for All is in trouble. I'll keep her away for a while."
"Queen Bee..." Ladybug said under her breath.
The portal started to close, and Ladybug wanted to go after her to get her back. Mr. Aizawa and Iida stopped her from going after her, but also wanting to go after her themselves. Before it could close, Queen Bee looked back at them as her Miraculous detransformed her. Something about it felt really personal, and she could just tell by the look in Chloe's eyes. Ladybug couldn't stop her tears from coming as she reached out to her.
"Chloe!" Ladybug cried out with tears in her eyes.
"Get out of here, Marinette..."
In the cave...
Chloe stood up to Chrysalis, looking determined to slow her down. Her mechanical wings were still there since they weren't a part of her transformation. Bakugo and Uraraka were looking at her like she should just get out of here before she gets stuck here too. Chrysalis locked eyes with her and couldn't help but laugh out loud, sending chills down everyone's backs.
"Oh come on," Chrysalis said to her, "You can't actually be doing this right now. Are you really trying to redeem yourself here?"
"I don't care about that," Chloe said back, "All I care about is getting everyone out of here safely, and that includes Izuku as well."
Chrysalis snapped out of it and floated right in front of Midoriya to shield him from her. She sent daggers at her, knowing full well that she wasn't kidding.
"Chloe, what the hell are you doing?!" Bakugo yelled out, "Get out of here!"
With her transformation down now, Bakugo could move around but was stuck because of the silk all around him. Chrysalis flew close to him and took off his Miraculous, making him detransform. She looked at it and tossed it towards HawkMoth.
"Here. Keep this away from Katsuki," Chrysalis said to him, "I'll take care of Chloe here."
HawkMoth still had Uraraka in his invisible grip and grabbed it in the air. Uraraka tried to get out of his grip, but still couldn't move at all. His grip hadn't loosened, not even a little bit. All she could do was watch Chloe stand up against Chrysalis.
Chloe stood up against her, ready for Chrysalis to come after her. Chrysalis didn't even seem to care that Chloe was here to stop her. Bakugo tried to get out of the silk, but it was so sticky and dense. Before Chloe knew it, Chrysalis went after her. Chloe dodged her with her mechanical wings, and Chrysalis flew around the cave to go after her again.
"You really think that you can stop me with those fake looking wings?" Chrysalis asked her.
"No, but I would like to get my friends back," Chloe said back.
Chloe launched right towards Bakugo and Midoriya, catching Chrysalis off guard. She tried to pull off some of the silk, but it was really sticky and strong.
"Don't worry, Katsuki," Chloe said to him, "I'll get you out of here soon!"
"Chloe, get the hell out of here!" Bakugo yelled back, "Chrysalis is too strong!"
"There's no way I'm leaving you here like this!" Chloe yelled back as she pulled at the silk, "Not when you're stuck here like this!"
Before she could pull any more of it off, Chloe got grabbed by Chrysalis. They were both flying through the air, and Chrysalis was trying to get Chloe's Miraculous from her. Chloe flipped off of her and kicked her away from her. She flew right at her and tried to go after Midoriya's Miraculous. Before she could grab it, Chrysalis pulled at her hair and fought through it to try to grab it. The Miraculous dangled right in front of her, but she couldn't reach it in time.
"Chloe Bourgeois. There's no way I would ever let someone like you beat me," Chrysalis growled at her.
Chrysalis spit some acid onto Chloe's mechanical wings, causing it to malfunction. The mechanical wings short circuited, and Chloe soon found herself falling towards the ground. She landed hard and felt the wind get knocked out of her, with her braid falling out of its hairband.
"Chloe!" Bakugo cried out.
Chloe tried to get up, but her back hurt from the fall. Chrysalis flew down towards her and floated above the ground as she sat close to her. Chrysalis grabbed her hair and pulled it pretty hard. She felt tears come up through her eyes from how much it hurt.
"How do you like it? Having your hair pulled like that. This is what you get for hurting my Izuku," Chrysalis said to her.
"H-He's not your Izuku, Ch-Chrysalis..." Chloe said back through heavy breathing.
Chrysalis pulled at her again, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Say that again. I dare you," Chrysalis growled at her with a piercing glare.
"Let her go Caterpillar," Bakugo demanded through clenched teeth.
Chrysalis's smile grew wide as she looked at him and back at Chloe. Before Chloe could get away, Chrysalis pulled her into her grip and pinned her down. She ripped the mechanical wings right off of her back and held her in place.
"It looks like Katsuki likes you," Chrysalis said to her, "You shouldn't have stayed behind. Especially you two. I've been meaning to get back at Katsuki for damaging my wings."
Chrysalis showed off her fangs, making Bakugo get even more angrier. He tried to get out of the silk, but it wouldn't budge not even a little. He noticed the look in Chloe's eyes, and it made even more furious with Chrysalis. Something about seeing her pinned down with no way out made him forget the plan. He soon felt the silk melting away as he went after Chloe.
"Get... Your hands... Off of... Chloe!" Bakugo growled out.
Bakugo soon launched out of the silk, revealing his explosives. Chrysalis could barely react when Bakugo sent one right towards her. She got her wings damaged again, but she was able to avoid it quite a bit. Her hair got damaged a lot, and her hair clip fell out. Bakugo stood in Chrysalis's way as he stood over Chloe with his hands showing off his quirk.
Midoriya snapped out of it, to see Bakugo using his quirk without his Miraculous. Even Uraraka was surprised to see him using it. Chrysalis sent him a piercing glare once she realized what was going on. Chloe looked up once her vision cleared and looked up at Bakugo.
"Katsuki... Your quirk... it's back...?"
Another amazing chapter!
This was one I find really satisfying! I love the parallel that I did between Ladybug and Chloe here if anyone noticed! I'm really liking Bakugo and Chloe more than I thought I would! Something about them encouraging each other and having things in common just makes them so interesting. Chloe standing up to Chrysalis was also really fun and satisfying to write! I just like how it turned out!
Bakugo revealed that his quirk is back!! That was the secret!! What?!
What's going to happen next??
More to come soon!
