Nathalie is a good fighter, no doubt. Ladybug was fighting her with hand to hand combat and they were pretty evenly matched even though Ladybug was using a miraculous. Ladybug didn't want to admit it but she is, well, enjoying the fight. She had the upper hand but it wasn't too easy either. However, Ladybug had to stay focused. Chat Noir was still fighting Hawkmoth and she was still worried about him. So far, Chat hadn't gotten hurt but she didn't want to take her chances.


Ladybug started making harder punches and took all the opportunities she had to get good hits in. She could tell this was slowing Nathalie down and kept going. Gradually, Nathalie was basically only avoiding Ladybug's hits, being too tired to attack back. For the last hit, Ladybug took her yoyo from where it was tied around her waist and tied together Nathalie's legs. Nathalie had lost her balance and fallen down. As soon as Nathalie was on the floor, Ladybug took back her yoyo and jumped next to Chat Noir. Nathalie didn't even attempt to get up again, she was too tired.


Chat Noir and Ladybug were facing Hawkmoth together. They looked at each other, then turned towards Hawkmoth and stepped closer, ready to counter any attacks he might attempt. He was ready too, facing them with a smirk, almost as if he thought he'd win. Ladybug was determined to wipe that grin right off his face. She started swinging her yoyo, and took a step forward. Hawkmoth held his blade up higher and started swinging it towards the two heroes of Paris. Before Hawkmoth's weapon could reach Ladybug, Chat Noir jumped in front of her, parrying Hawkmoth's hit with his staff. They kept going in that way, slashing and dodging each other's hits. Ladybug, however much she wanted to help her partner, had decided to go check the three heroes inside the bubble Carapace had created. She felt responsible for them, so she walked over and knocked on the green sphere.


"Hey guys, are you all ok?" Ladybug quietly asked.


Carapace, the only one of them who was still transformed answered, "Yes, we're ok. Queen Bee... well Chloé, I guess, just got kicked pretty hard in the stomach but otherwise we're ok."


"Good," Ladybug walked over to where Chloé who was sitting almost normally again but her expression was still mildly strained. "Hey Chloé."


She looked up at her slowly, "Hey Ladybug."


"Where does it hurt?"


Chloé pointed towards her stomach, "Here."


"Ok, Alya could you come help?" Ladybug looked at her.


Alya walked over to them, "Yeah sure."


"Great." Ladybug thanked her and started instructing her. "Chloé you should take off your jacket then lie down."


Chloé did as she was told.


"Now Alya," She continued, "Could you place the jacket under her feet so they are elevated?"


"Ok," Alya took the jacket Chloé had put next to her and placed it under Chloé's feet so they would be higher up.


"Good, now we just need something like a blanket to keep her warm." Ladybug started looking around for something but nothing came to her.
