Soulmates

Chapter 21 - A Dark Place

Then the first beeping sound of his ring echoed through the room.

"You think using your power is going to save you?" A chuckle resonated from the pit of Hawkmoth's throat. "It was only a matter of time you pulled out your power card and I was all too prepared for it."

Chat went to grab the man, only to be flung back into place. He didn't think of his other hand, still trapped in the restraints.

He tried pulling at it to set himself free but it wasn't working, his strength was failing him.

His migraine was helping him to think either.

The second sound of his ring echoed through the room.

"I guess the lady goes first then." Hawkmoth grinned over his shoulder as he walked over to the girl in the red and black polkadot suit.

Ladybug was pulling at her own restraints, metal grinding on metal to try and keep the distance between her and her fate.

Where was Bunnix when she needed her the most?

Why did she let it go this far?

Chat looked on with horror in his eyes but anger in his tone. "Don't touch her." He hissed.

The pitter patter of the once calm rain on the window, came now pouring down, with a roll of thunder to go with it.

"If you dare lay a finger on her, I will not hesitate to tear you to shreds!" Chat growled.

"Lets see if you can do that without any powers?" The man hummed happily.

The third beeping sound went off.

A gloved hand went up to the left side of her face, gently pulling the jewel from her ear lobe.

The pink glow was now slowly going over her body, revealing her cilvian clothes inch by inch.

Chat watched in horror as her identity was slowly revealed to the one person they didn't want finding out who they were under the mask.

It made him pull harder on his restraint, trying everything possible to get out of the metal that was stopping him from latching onto him.

But it was no use.

Another earring was pulled, making Tikki fly out and onto the cold ground, weak and vulnerable.

Marinette now was in Ladybug's place, shaking and in tears. Her head hung low, making her bangs cover up most of her face.

"Marinette" Hawkmoth gasped once he caught a glimpse of her eyes through her bangs, but he quickly regained his composure and cleared his throat. "I should of known why it was so hard to akumitize you."

Chat paused and blinked in surprise.

He was trying to akumitize her all this time?

The Fourth sound came into play, making Chat get more anxious by the second.

He only had a minute now before he transformed back and still had no way to stop this from happening.

He watched Hawkmoth place on the earrings and turn back his way.

The seconds felt like agony in the back of his mind, sweat beading down his forehead as he waited for that final sound to resonate through the dark room.

Then it rang out, frantically beeping and notifying everyone what was about to happen.

He could feel the green glow come undone, the magic fading away. He shakily fell to his knees, giving up all hope that was once there.

The bump on the back of his head was now worse then before, finally feeling the extent of the pain that was lingering under his suit.

His head was pounding now.

Plagg laid in front of his chosen's bent knees, his little paw resting on his belly as he stared up towards the roof, panting and exhausted.

What Adrien fail to notice was his miraculous hadn't been taken from him.

"Adrien." Hawkmoth gasped quietly.

The blonde wasn't in the mood for this, he was ready to get his hands on the man behind the mask either with or without the suit to protect him.

His piercing green eyes tilted up at him, his teeth clentched together. A low growl grumbled from his throat as his eyebrows furrowed in anger.

He watched as Hawkmoth's face went from shock back to his sly smirk, almost laughing at him.

That just made him more angry.

"You won, why don't you just take it?" Adrien hissed, impatience growing on him by the second.

Hawkmoth hesitated, something you never do when you go after the things you've been longing for.

It was his number one rule in being Hawkmoth, in being the business man he was. One show of weakness or hesitation and it was all over.

"It's kind of Ironic, don't you think?" The man slipped off his ring and placed it on himself, moving away slowly from his foes. "The one person that stopped me from seeing my wife again had to be my very own son."

Adrien's head snapped up, looking towards the evil man as a bright light came from the center of the room, showing a beautiful sleeping lady inside.

"You?" The blonde was berely auditable, tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

"You just wasted time to see your own mother." Hawkmoth muttered, the click of his footsteps halting just inches away from the bright capsule. "Don't you want her back Adrien?"

"No!" Adrien yelled. "Not like this!"

Marinette looked over at her partner, fear, sadness, anger, all pooling through her veins. She could feel his every emotion, feel the pain of knowing what was right in front of them.

That's when she knew, this was not going to end well.
