Miraculous Dragonus (Lila Rossi x Male Reader)

Arc 03: Chapter 02: As I Am The Monster You Created, You'll

Antibug's face twisted in rage as her sentimonster flew towards the Eiffel Tower. The site of Ladybug's first victory. The first step she had taken to ruin Chloé's life. In spite - or perhaps because of - her anger, Antibug smirked. Ladybug had held all the power in their previous relationship, lending the blonde girl a Miraculous whenever she deemed fit. Now Antibug held the power, infinite uses of her creation ability at her command.

"Something I should've had the first time." Antibug muttered as Omegabug touched down on the first level of the Eiffel Tower. Dismounting her sentimonster, she drew her yoyo and quickly scanned the surrounding area. Perfect. No one was paying attention to her. Not yet, at least.

"Anti Charm!" She called out as a swarm of black and red power formed into a giant sword humming with energy. A wicked grin crossed her face as she sensed that her power levels were still at full. Now to get Paris's attention.

Antibug pulled out her yoyo and tapped it experimentally, blinking in surprise when the back half slid up and revealed a screen. Her surprise was replaced with a dark smirk when she spotted a recording button and her thumb moved towards it.

-------------------------------------

Ms. Bustier's class was watching a video on foreign writers when the screen flickered to black. Moments later, a black circle with five red dots filled the void of the screen, which faded to reveal the masked face of Antibug, a glare on the villainess's face. Marinette grimaced lightly. This was not likely to end well.

"Ladybug, Cat Noir." Antibug said, her rage barely contained by a thin veneer of calm. "You both have ruined my life. Now I'm going to ruin the lives of every Parisian. Unless you come to the Eiffel Tower and hand over your Miraculouses. If you don't, I will cut down the Eiffel Tower and let it crush whatever part of Paris it falls upon. Then I will do the same to all of the other monuments. And once everything is destroyed, it will all be your fault for forsaking me and not following my demands. You have five minutes before I destroy the Tower." With that declaration, the image of Antibug faded to black.

"Everyone, for your own safety, go directly home right now!" Ms. Bustier ordered as the class already started scrambling. Marinette herself slipped out of the pack of students headed for the doors as she tried to sneak into the locker room.

"Marinette? What are you doing?" a British accented voice rang out. Marinette froze in her tracks as she saw Amber jog over to her.

"I-! Uh, needed to grab - uh, my... extra notepad!" Marinette stammered. Amber shook her head and grabbed the other girl's wrist, pulling her away from the locker room and towards the door. "There isn't time! You need to get out of here!"

"What about you?" Marinette asked, a note of confusion in her voice. Amber sighed. "I'm going to talk to Chloé. I drove her to this. She's angry because of me. I shouldn't have lost my temper at her, not like that."

Marinette carefully wrenched her hand from Amber's grip right as they crossed the building's threshold. "Hey, we all lose our temper sometimes. We all say things we don't mean to. But Chloé's changed since you last saw her." She said gently.

Amber scoffed. "You think I didn't see that? She confided everything to me. I'm trying to help her get better . I'm trying to help her see past herself. And that's the nerve I struck."

Amber sighed, turning away from Marinette. "I'm going to catch up to her, and I'm going to talk her down, even if it gets me sliced up." She said quietly. "I'm sorry if my temper got the better of me."

Marinette watched as Amber took off running towards the Eiffel Tower. "Wow... she's brave." Tikki commented as she poked her head out of Marinette's purse. Marinette herself couldn't help but nod as she slipped behind the school's opening staircase. "Tikki, Spots On!"
