Princess Justice only had three victims left.

Adrien, Alya and Lila.

"And then there were three" she chuckled.

Alya was standing protective in front of Lila. Like that was going to do anything.

Princess Justice strode closer to them until Alya held her hand out for her to stop. "Stay away" she growled.

The Princess tilted her head to the side. "Oh? And who's going to stop me if I don't? Your precious Ladybug isn't here for you now is she?"

Alya couldn't respond. She had no clue why Ladybug wasn't here to save Lila and the rest of them. She was Lila's best friend after all. And she always makes it to an akuma attack.

She glanced towards her other friends who seemed to be going through the same thing.

Rose had passed out because whatever she saw was clearly too much for her and you could see the tear stains on her cheeks

Kim and Alix had turned into golden statues, both of their faces showing fear when they had frozen.

Nathaniel, Juleka, Mylene and Ivan were all going through the same thing as Sabrina.

Mylene seemed to have dark spots that looked like bruises forming in her leg as she cried.

Ivan looked like he was trying to reach for his Mylene but it was like invisible hands were holding him back. You could tell by the grip marks on his wrist. He was the only one without shackles but he seemed to still be suffering as bad as them.

"Such a shame" Princess Justice sighed. "This really could be all been avoided."

"Ma- Princess Justice. Please, think about what you're doing? Your hurting others"

It's like no matter what he said or tries to reason, she had a problem. This is why he couldn't be with her at the moment. If she could only see things eye-to-eye they wouldn't be here right now.

"Oh," she chuckled. "So now people are getting hurt? It didn't seem to be a problem when I was getting hurt today. And for the last few years since the snake's arrival. Do you disagree?"

Adrien pursed his lips.

"You seem to have gone mute," she said plainly. "No matter. You will talk in a minute. However, I want you two to witness what judgment your precious Rossi is about to receive."

"No! You'll do nothing to her!" Yelled Alya. It was funny to Princess Justice how the girl still thought of herself as a hero of some sort.

"Lila, step forward to your superior" she demanded.

Lila's body began to involuntarily move. Even when Alya tried to pull her back, her body kept on moving.

Alya let go and quickly took out her phone and opened her Ladyblog site and began a live video.

"Hey Ladyblog fans, I'm live today because of an akuma, I'm sure your wondering who it is." She turned the camera to face Princess Justice.

"It's none other than Marinette Dupain-Cheng! She actually got herself akumatized! On purpose so that she could hurt Lila, just as she has been doing for years out of jealousy!"

Princess Justice looked at the camera as Alya zoomed in on her. She grinned.

"Believe what you may viewers. But you are about to see the true Lila Rossi"

"Marinette! Don't do this!" Adrien pleaded.

"Shut up!" She hissed back. She stabbed her sword into the ground and thick vine-like ribbons quickly wrapped around him. She made the same thing happen to Alya lest she tried something. But she allowed her hands to be free so she could keep recording. She knew Alya had a massive following so this would be perfect.

"Lila Rossi, I believe you have committed acts of treason against me."

"Treason?" Lila scoffed. "You're not a real Princess! You just akumatized yourself to get to me!" Princess Justice could hear the pinch of fear in her tone. Real fear.

Before she responded she felt a presence. Three familiar people as they crept through the barrier.

She turned to flash a brilliant white smile at them, starting them as they thought they could come in unnoticed

"Oh, heroes! Come to watch the show?" She asked sweetly.

Adrien's eyes widened when he saw the new cat hero. Ladybug...she found a new Chat Noir? This couldn't be...he really was never going to get Plagg back. Unless...this is temporary? He hasn't seen him once so maybe-

The three heroes stared at her. The power that radiated off of her was crazy and the power she was displaying wasn't like anything they'd seen.

"Princess Justice, stand down," Chat Noir took a few slow steps forward, being careful with his movements. the there two followed but not as much. "We do not want to cause any harm to you."

Princess Justice sighed merrily and took 3 leaps in the air and landed in front of him.

"And that is what is so great about you heroes" she praised. "You would never cause harm on an innocent person now would you?"

Chat Noir shook his head. "You and I both know that you shouldn't be doing this. It's why we have come to help you come out of this"

"Princesses like me don't need help" she replied with a low tone. Her mouth then twisted into a . Not at him though. Because a certain person was trying to make a useless escape.

She stabbed her sword in the ground again, much harder than before causing the ground to shake and another clap of thunder was heard outside. The sounds seemed to be happening when she truly was angry. They'd heard it a few times on their way here.

A crack began to follow Lila who was now running. Ribbon shot out of the ground and went straight for Lila, wrapping around her entire body, only letting her neck and head show. she wince at how tight they were gripping onto her.

"You dare try to avoid judgment?" Princess Justice growled. Her voice was deep and it sent a vibrating chill down everyone's spine.

She turned sharply and stomped towards the girl. She held her sword to her. "Did you lie about me? Did you lie about everyone and everything you've said since being here?"

"N-no I-"

Another clap of thunder caused her to wince and shut her mouth.

"Did. You. Lie?"

"No!" Lila shot back.

Princess Justice grit her teeth and made a crushing motion with her free hand. Lila let out a cry of pain as the ribbons tightened.

The Akuma felt her scale become unbalanced once again and a bell rang.

"Guilty."

"She isn't guilty you are!" Alya yelled, still pointing her camera towards her. she ignored this. She would deal with the useless tabloid writer later.

"Your fate, your punishment, what you would have never imagined happening. Something...that will be your ultimate downfall and bring Justice. To me." She cackled as she threw her sword n the air, it shone a bright pink and beams shot everywhere in different directions.

One by one a hologram appeared, showing anything Lila had done in the past.

Lila mocking the others for their stupidity behind their backs...

Lila making plans to lie about other celebrities...

Her fake backgrounds she used while she was at home to make it look like she was at some exotic island

Her drawing fake bruises and applying fake blood on herself...

Photoshopping fake evidence against Marinette...

Threatening her in the bathroom...

Everything.
