Ladybug
I open my yo-yo and call Cat Noir.
"Cat got your tongue?" his automated message jokes. "Leave a message." I roll my eyes.
"Cat Noir, I need you to come as soon as you can. There's been an akumitiz-" I start to say. Then someone taps me on the shoulder.
"Hey Ladybug," Cat Noir interrupts.
"Good," I say. "Lila Rossi got akumitized and she's extremely dangerous."
"Sorry I wasn't here earlier, I was on a date with my girlfriend," he says. I smile at him. I'm so glad he's moved on. He really loves her.
"There's nothing to apoligize for. She was just akumitized," I explain. "But we gotta get a move on." I say as I tart to run. Cat Noir follows me.
"Who's she got her sights set on this time?" he asks me. I sigh.
"Me," I say briefly, then I speed up, not wanting to clarify. There's nothing to clarify. There was not an event that akumitized her that I was present in. She must have gotton upset on her own, from reading the LadyBlog or something.
"Why?" Cat Noir asks me.
"I actually don't know. I didn't do anything, she must of read trash about Volpina or something."
"Thats wierd," he comments.
"She got akumitized on Hero's day."
"But that wasn't wierd. There was an event about us."
"Right," I say. "There she is!" I point at Lila, aka The Messenger. We jump off the building to greet her.
"Ladybug," she hisses.
"Lila," I greet back.
"I am NOT Lila anymore! I'm The Messenger, and Hawkmoth has a message for you, Ladybug!" She is dressed in an all black catsuit (not like Cat Noir's I mean an actual catsuit guys.)
"What is it?" I ask playfully. A sword appears in her hands.
"This!" she yells and attempts to put it through my heart.
"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir yells, and Cataclyms the sword before it can touch me.
"Cat Noir! I was perfectly fine without your help! Now you'll have to transform back soon!"
"Cats always land on their feet," Cat Noir says. We fight The Messenger, one close call after another. While I learn about The Messenger, I manage not to use my Lucky Charm. Suddenly, Cat Noir's miraculous beeps.
"Can you hold your own until I get back?" Cat Noir asks me.
"Sure! Go!" I say. Now I am alone with The Messenger. Her belt. Her belt has the akuma. I just know it.
"She swipes at me with her sword and I dodge. I realise the mistake I made a second too late. I dodged under her sword, and she took the oppurtunity to stick her sword through my chest. I don't know where the sword went...
I grab The Messenger's belt and break it as I collaspe.I fall on the ground and I know what I have to do. I capture the akuma and throw my yo-yo up into the air.
"M-mir-miraculous L-ladybug," I mumble. Nothing happens. I weakly stand up, knowing I need to get help. I use my yo-yo to pull myself up onto my balcony, which happens to be nearby. I walk into my room and collapse.
Sabine Cheng
I hear a thud coming up from Marinette and I run up the stairs. Something doesn't feel right. "Marinette?" I yell, panicked. I spot Ladybug laying on the floor, bleeding.
"Ladybug?" She turns her head to look at me. "We have to get you to the hospital!" I exclaim.
"No," she mumbles.
"We have to!" I exclaim.
"My-my identity, mo-Ms. Cheng."
"I don't care! You need help!" I argue, picking her up the best I can.
"Make sure as, as l-little people know about this," she demands. She gasps for breath as I start running down the stairs. "They will get- a-a-a-akuma-akumiti-" she starts to say, panicking.
"Shhh," I shush her. "I will make sure nobody will get akumitized because of this." I put her in my car and and I speed off towards the hospital. Luckily it's nearby. I run into the hospital with Ladybug, who's now unconscious.
Cat Noir
I head back to the spot where Ladybug and I were fighting The Messenger. I see Lila sitting in front of a puddle of blood, crying.
"Lila," I say. "What happened?"
"Its Ladybug! She was bleeding out, all because of me!" Lila says, crying. But I can see a gleam in her eye that says otherwise.
"She'll be okay. The Miraculous Cure will heal her," I fake reasurring Lila.
"No, it didn't work! She said Miraculous Ladybug and everything! I think she left to get help, but I don't think she survived!" I feel myself panicking, but also a bit skeptical. Lila's story must have at least a grain of truth, but also... she's Lila. I run off without speaking to her further.
"Ladybug?" I yell. I continue yelling for her, but she never answers, and each time she doesn't I get more and more anxious. I try texting her, calling her, yelling for her, asking around, but nothing works and I panic to the point of falling to my knees in the middle of the street, crying. Suddenly a voice inside my head yells at me, telling me to think. Think!
Hospital.
Ladybug isn't stupid, and the citizens of Paris aren't either. She's at the the hospital.
She has to be.
I burst into the hospital and accidentally startle the lady at the front desk.
"Is Ladybug here?" I ask.
"Ugh, um, nope," she says unconvincingly.
"Don't lie!" I yell.
"She's not here!" she yells defensivly.
"I'm her partner, I know she told you not to tell anyone. But she would've told me anyways," I say. She studies me for a second. And then sighs.
"Oh, alright she's here."
"What room?" I demand.
"204, but no visitors," she adds quickly.
"I can't not visit her. Sorry!" I say and run off. I burst in through the door of room 204 and spot Ms. Cheng?
"Ms. Cheng?" I ask, suprised.
"I, ugh, I found her collasped in front of the bakery. Luckliy the hospital is nearby to my house." Ms. Cheng says.
"Is she going to be okay?" I ask the docters.
