"And I thought things were going well," Marinette muttered to herself.
It was late in the evening and chaos was flooding the streets of Paris. Marinette could hear it all, even with her bedroom window shut. Curious, but already knowing what the answer to her quandary would be, Marinette climbed off her bed to the upper trap door that lay on the ceiling above. This was her escape onto her little quaint balcony that overlooked the humble streets around her family's bakery.
"Enticing," Tikki said sarcastically, hovering beside Marinette as her smaller self. Yep. Paris was in shambles. People were beating each other up on the street with no real reason, parents were abandoning their children, couples were spewing venom and hate at each other, blood was being shed, and the brawling never once ceased.
"What is happening?!" Marinette exclaimed, watching as a mother and her daughter started fighting each other with intent to severely harm the other.
"I don't know, but you should probably figure it out. It's definitely related to an akuma."
"Right," Marinette nodded, hiding herself back into her room to transform. She then snuck out, hiding herself from the view of civilians to properly come out to the world as Ladybug.
She swung over the street, finding many of these people were infected with whatever hate virus was being spread. She noticed that all of them shared one trait in common; black lips as if they decided to all take on a gothic look at the same time. She had to intervene between a few fights which had gotten a little too violent but there wasn't much she could do. Humanity had turned on itself.
Someone, whom she didn't know, was about to throw another someone out a window. Ladybug swooped in to catch them, taking the person to safety... as far away from the other as possible.
"Sir are you alright?"
"That ungrateful bitch ass Quadell!" The man shoved Ladybug aside, then faltered, "Er- sorry ma'am. I just have some unfinished business to get to," the man stated and walked away from her, back towards the building.
"Hey, no, don't go back, what are you thinking?"
"Gonna beat his ass," the man seethed.
"Ey, no!" Ladybug grabbed him again. This man also had black lipstick on. He yanked away from her.
"Thanks miss, but I can handle him on my own. Ciao!" He hurried off.
"Wait! Ugh..." Ladybug sighed. Well, the man wasn't violent with her. He just had it out for whoever Quadell was. That was a clue...perhaps.
"Tough luck, huh?"
She looked to her side to find Chat Noir had just met up with her.
"What's going on?"
"A kid got his heart broken and has become some form of anti cupid. I was tracking him down but I've lost him," Chat reported.
"Alright, what's he look like?"
"Trust me, he's not hard to spot."
"Then how'd you lose him?!"
"I got distracted by you," Chat stated.
"Alright, alright. Let's just... find him again," Ladybug said before flying off at the string of her yoyo.
The akuma didn't take long to be found. He was high in the sky, shooting arrows at those who passed beneath him, circling and swerving through buildings and landmarks. Ladybug and Chat Noir approached with caution.
"His identity is Le Chien Kim," Chat said.
"Another student- er- another teenager?" Ladybug stammered.
