White Illusions

Assitance

She panted as her pounding footsteps were drown out by the screams and sobs of citizens. She wove her way through the fleeing crowds and the glass statues of people. She ducked as dozens of eleven inch long glass needles flew over her.

Shrieks escaped the people while the needles stuck into various parts of their bodies. It melted into their body parts, turning them into glass statues slowly and painfully; unless they were struck in the heart.

She turned her gaze towards where the cry of a peacock reverberated the air. She watched as Bleu Royale's cloak swished when he whirled around, darting from sight. He was chasing after the akuma.

She grit her teeth, wanting to catch up to her four heroes. She could hear the worried voices of her friends whispering in the back of her mind, telling her to stay back and to remain safe. She shook her head, determined to film this.

She slid on the ground made slick from glass sheets. The akuma had tried making the heroes lose their footing when he had thrown the needles on the ground.

The blogger directed her phone camera towards the battle in the ally way and the roofs of the close buildings. The two cat themed heroes clung to a brick wall. Ladybug stood on top, her yo-yo whizzing in a red circle. Phantom Cat's claws swiping at the glass rapier of the man decked out in white. His white coat tails swished forward as he jumped back, standing on a thin glass sheet.

The blogger watched with muted horror as the akuma twisted sideways and plunged the tip of his glass rapier in Bleu Royale's chest. The male had gotten too close. The peacock themed hero reared backward, shock written in his stormy eyes. The clear blade was pulled from his chest as the akuma took a few steps back.

Cat Noir called for the peacock themed hero as he launched himself towards the building across the ally. Bleu Royale had already turned to glass. The blogger inhaled sharply when Phantom Cat pushed his protégé out of the way, the glass blade jabbing into his arm.

The blogger didn't have time to wonder how he got there so quickly.

A sharp hiss of pain escaped Phantom Cat, drawing her attention to him once more; he stumbled back and crashed into Bleu Royale. Ladybug gave a strangled cry, her yo-yo flying towards the toppling peacock themed hero. A stifled and frightened screech escaped the younger cat. He glanced at Bleu Royale then Phantom Cat. He loved them both equally. The blogger could see it in his gaze. He didn't want to lose either of them. She wondered if he remembered about Ladybug's healing light.

Something in the pit of her gut told her that Phantom Cat might not recover from this. She felt dread filling her at the very thought. It would be a horrible way to go, being killed by an akuma. She shook her head, wanting to get rid of the disturbing feeling. It refused to go before it began to fade.

Cat Noir darted for the older cat when he rose to his feet. His arm was already glass. It was slowly crawling down his body. Ladybug hissed while she turned her attention towards the akuma. Her yo-yo flashed towards him. He hissed and sprang back, blocking her yo-yo with a wall of glass. It shattered into little shards that he manipulated. Turning them into the needles of glass that had flown over the blogger's head earlier.

A strangled cry escaped Cat Noir when Phantom Cat turned into solid glass. He turned his gaze towards the akuma. Rage flying through his neon green gaze, even Ladybug didn't seem happy. Cat Noir gave a vicious hiss while his ears flew flat against his messy locks. The blogger trembled at the dark energy coming from the angered hero. It wasn't as dark as Phantom Cat's but it was the same energy. Cataclysm bubbled in his right hand.

Fear froze Glassmaker to the spot as Cat Noir charged him. The akuma took a stumbling step back when Cat Noir's cataclysmic black claws drew too close to him. The needles of glass, surrounding him, turned into a solid wall. He kept backing away till he was positive he was a safe distance. He was still trembling. Cat released an angered yowl, pressing his palm against glass. The blogger inhaled sharply as the glass wall and floor shattered beneath the black cat.
