Enjoy, I don't own the characters just the plot...

A loud crack echoed around the almost deserted hall. 10 seconds. 10 eternal seconds before a scream of agony rung out after it.

Half an hour earlier...

"Chat! Where have you been?" The impatient voice of the one and only Ladybug snapped the feline out of his thoughts. "Why, miss me?" His usual cocky grin slapped across his face, when the only response he got was a huff his grin faded. "Oh come on my lady, I had trouble at home. I would say more but you persist to keep out identities secret." Currently his blonde locks fell sideways, tilting his head to curve around hoping to have a glimpse at her expression. "That's fine Chat" her head swerving round to look at his emerald cat-like eyes. She would never admit it but she loved his eyes, the best feature about him in her opinion she often found herself getting lost in them, like now for example "my lady!" A playful surprised tone took hold of his voice "are you staring, at me! I think it's purrrrrfect". Way to ruin the mood. The red heroine just rolled her eyes at the ridiculous cat pun. "What? Not hissssterical enough for you?" And there's another. His small fit of chuckles filled the open air and Ladybug was taping her foot rhythmically against the floor. "One more. One more. Am I bugging you?" This seemed to amuse the cat even more as his love for his own jokes was made obviously clear. "Are you done yet?" Her voice as impatient as her foot which had sped up its pace. "Wait. Are you feline okay?" His laughter once again at full volume and a distasteful huff escaped the girls mouth. "Yes yes very funny, now stop with the puns." She was trying to make it clear that he was ticking her off but no, that silly kitty couldn't see it. Suddenly a large explosion erupted from a couple of blocks away gaining their attention. "Akuma?" Ladybug asked, her voice lacing with a new worry. "Don't know but we could meowch about!" "Don't you mean mooch?" "Nope, meowch is more funny" and off they went.

"I am THE POET! And no one will hurt me again I know it! You all mock my rhyme, but now it's my time. To shine like the stars above, and you shall all give me your love!" ((Lol it rhymes x3)) A man dressed as if in Shakespeare's time pointed towards a group of teenagers. His slightly pointed nose and beady eyes have him a stereotypical posh look. In one hand was a quill, snow white with traces of gray streaks near the end, and in the other a old look script. "Everything I write in rhyme, will come to life in due time!" His croaky laugh, that made a oh-Ho-Ho noise, caused civilians to cover their ears. "I see you do not like my laugh, but how do you like a ice cold bath!" As these words left his mouth and was written down, the writing faded into the page and disappeared. A large rumbling came from behind The Poet as a large wave of freezing cold water seemed to dissipate from thin air. "That's a shame, I don't like water." A familiar voice came from the top of a near by roof and cheers of hope erupted from the people. "It's chat noir!" "And Ladybug!" "They must be here to save us!" Are a few of the cries from the now hopeful crowd. "Let's take this inside!" Ladybug shouted as she dived into a skylight leading into an abandoned hall. It was a large torn up room that had rusted bricks and a couple of unhinged floor boards. Another loud crash and Chat Noir had followed her in. "Knowing my luck I'll break something on this floor." He stated, a look of annoyance fell on his face as he kicked one of the raised boards lightly. "Now The Poet is here, the audience shall cheer!" The surrounding sound of cheering filled the hall, bouncing off the rusted bricks. The heavy oak doors swing open to revile the leotard wearing villain. He kissed his hands and sent them into the air as if thanking the loud cheers. They stopped. It was quiet. "Chat?" Her voice trembled. "Yeah?" Shock evident in his voice, he had never heard her tremble before and he decided then and there he didn't like it. Not one bit. "Be Careful" "aww my lady cares"
Neither noticed the mutters of a certain villain "I wish to cause thee harm, so how about a broken arm. But as you are out of line, I also give you a broken spine."

Present...

A loud crack echoed around the almost deserted hall. 10 seconds. 10 eternal seconds before a scream of agony rung out after it.

"Noooooo!"

"my lady, stay with me!" Chat's futile attempt at running over to the now crippled girl resulted in him stumping his foot quite a few times. But that didn't matter right now. Ladybug. His ladybug was down for the count. "What did you do!" It wasn't a question as he held her wincing body in his arms "I though you were out of line, so now she has a broken spine. But this is not the only harm, as I also gave her a broken arm." His psychotic laugh echoed around the room as Chat's pupils dilated and a look of horror spread across his face. Looking up towards the villain then back towards his love's oddly shaped body a fury grew in him. If he hadn't had plagg he would've definitely attracted akuma, Knut that wasn't the case. "C-Chat?" A weak untangled arm reached for his face. "My lady you must rest. I want you to stay with me okay?" Her hand cupped his face for multiple seconds until reaching for her fallen yo-yo next to her. "Beat..him" her eyes dull but still alive. "I-I can't leave you" tears brimmed her eyes as so did his. "Chat" her voice was interrupted by a large cough as blood escaped her mouth. "Beat him... Use miraculous light.. A-and I should heal" more coughing. More blood. "It's his spell a-and the light re-returns it t-to normal." What she was saying made sense but if he left her..." Go, I promise I will be okay." Without thinking he gently placed the girl on the floor as he turned. A scary aura emitted from him as his bangs covered his eyes. "No one! I repeat no one HURTS MY LADY!"

It was over. He hadn't meant to but he left the bearer of the akuma with a gash across his left arm. Turns out he had been angry because he was kicked out a poem club due to his work making no sense. Hawkmoth saw this opportunity and sent out the akuma. Chat turned to the unconscious girl, walking towards her. He bent down and stroked her soft face, one dot. "Your still holding out for me." He was quite touched but realised he had to act quickly. "Miraculous cleansing light" he muttered, only with the consent of ladybug would he ever use her yo-yo. The bright light burst into the sky and fixed all The Poet had caused including Ladybug. But was it too late? Her body was fixed but breath didn't return and Chat started to worry. The beeping of his rig indicated he didn't have much time and neither did Ladybug. He bent down once again and placed her cold body on his lap. He didn't care if his transformation wore off as long as Ladybug was safe. "My lady?"

No response. "Ladybug?" Nada "Stop playing around Ladybug!" Is voice now frantic as the girl didn't reply. "You promised me! YOU PROMISED ME!" His cries echoed around the rusty room. "Wake up!" Ky nearly came out as a whisper as hot tears streamed down his face. In syncs the two miraculous beeped the last warning and the suits came off. Wide eyed his cries became louder "m-marionette? MARIONETTE!" Sobs. Salted tears splashed onto her cold flushed face. Death. He hated the word. "Mari, come on its me Chat! It's Adrien, why didn't you tell me princess?" His forehead rested against hers, plagg and tikki watching from a far.
