“Guys! I think I saw Marinette talking to Hawkmoth last night”
A conversation in whispers, venom laced in honey is fed to the sheep and among them a certain black cat possessed by the lull of the Syren.
“Kid listen you can-“ “Plagg, Claws Out!” without letting the Kwami speak impatience brings disturbance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Your home early for lunch Marinette, lunch won’t be… Baobei what’s wrong?” Concerned for her daughter the mother would wipe her tears but the dam has been broken.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Even when she’s broken she still won’t give in to despair… just a little bit more and I can have my master piece Natalie” the assistant wordlessly stands behind him waiting for the scales to tip for they can sense it, just one more drop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Mom she got everyone in class thinking that I’m working for Hawkmoth and some of the other students are starting to look at me suspiciously” the mother comforts her child unaware of the looming threat drawing near.
“Marinette there is nothing to fear. You are Marinette, a Dupain-Cheng and you are not alone Baobei.” As the mother stares at her daughter with warmth it wasn’t long before a window is broken a figure clad in black stands among the broken glass looking for its target looking for her but the unexpected visitor acted fast separating the mother from the child using his height to his advantage and holding the girl by the throat not allowing her feet to touch the ground or to breath properly.
“C-chat l-t go- can-t bre-the” but her pleas went to death ear for the cat won’t listen to anything but what he wants to hear “Who’s Hawkmoth?!” “She said she can’t breathe! Let her go!” But the mother is too short and too weak to separate the foolish cat from her daughter who is slowly turning red slowly loosing her strength. “C-chat” a weak plea but this only angers the possessed cat incensed the Cat does the on thing he would never do if he was in the right state of mind “Cataclysm!” as she slowly turns to dust she whispers to him hoping for him to stop and realize what he’s doing but his ears never flinch never reacted and her eyes dim as her body is turns to ash only a pair of earrings remain while everything else is turned to dust, the Cat still not realizing what he’s done leaves, leaving the mother to greave only for her to find out she will not come back.

That night the family packs up and leave Paris to their fate, for the death of a ladybug by the hands of a black cat starts a domino effect, after 3 days another Akuma shows up but this time there is no Ladybug to put everything back together.
Another 6 days pass before the Justice League is made aware of what’s going on in Paris and decide to intervene or rather they form a team of 5 with the least likely people to be akumatized and head for Paris.
It takes 8 days for the Black cat to join forces with the other heroes, it takes less than 1 hour for them to find out about the Dupain-Cheng and believing they may be the reason why Ladybug is missing or have and idea of where she is.
It takes them 6 hours to find their location and another 5 hours to arrive at their location what they didn’t expect was for it to take 8 hours to track them down but it only took 1 minute to find “Ladybug” who now has the Black cat by the scruff of his neck mirroring the same way he killed their daughter.
Confusion sadness, anger, despair, joy, disgust unsure of what is going on anymore the Cat howls in indignation lashing out at the mother who says nothing but stare at him with a death glare so severe all heroes present feel a chill down their spine all but the Cat.
It didn’t take long before the Cat understood who this is, who she was and what he has done. But while the Mantis stalks the Cicada, unaware of the Oriole behind. So does the Fox stalks the Cat as the Butterfly looms behind.
“Chat Blanche I give you the power of infinite destruction with it you’ll retrieve the Ladybug miraculous and with it I’ll rewrite the universe for you to have her back!” but such is the ramblings of a fool who dares to strike a deal with Entropy while Conception isn’t present. “MEGA CATACLYSM!” without the love of his life, with regret at what he’s done, the despairing Cat sought to revert everything to Zero hoping for the next time to have a stronger Will and not be Charmed by the Vixen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“What do you think 626, will the Cat ever realize there is no escape?” as one of the cloaked figures looks upon the forming stars above the one called 626 replies without even blinking “It matters little to me 2319, but I will tell you one thing. I will never get tired of seeing this view”.
