Wounded

There was a sudden gasp as the air left Ladybug's lungs. A silver knife was embedded in her abdomen, Chat hoped that the damage was not severe or fatal. Another knife collided with Ladybug, catching her on the right side of her chest, causing her to topple over. The Akuma laughed as they approached Ladybug, as she was trying to crawl away from the Akuma, leaving a trail of blood in her wake.

"Running won't save you, Bug." Sneered the Akuma, grabbing Ladybug by the throat and lifting her off her feet.

Ladybug kicked at the Akuma, before they threw her into a wall. As the impact occurred, Ladybug's transformation dropped, revealing her identity to everyone. The Akuma smirked, before stomping up to Marinette's prone form, as she coughed up blood. Marinette tried to push the Akuma away, only for him to grab her arm and tear it from her shoulder. The Akuma stomped hard on Marinette's chest, causing her to cough up more blood. The Akuma looked at the girls dismembered arm and tossed it aside, before raining blows down on the unmoving girl.

There were cries, yells and wails from the crowd.

But one was the loudest.

"MARINETTE!" Screamed Kagami, as her girlfriend started choking on her own blood.

That scream spurred Chat into action, grabbing the Akuma by the head, he pulled them away from Marinette, while the people in the crowd started to move Marinette out of the firing line.

"Oh, you want to die too?" Cackled the Akuma, "Fine by me, I get more trophies that way."

Chat's blood went cold, before it started to boil, "How many?"

The Akuma continued to laugh, "You'll never find all of them. All those pretty, pretty little girls."

There was a crunch as Chat's fist collided with the Akuma's nose, again and again and again. Soon the Akuma's face resembled a bloody sack of meat.

"CATACLYSM!" Screamed Chat, the dark energy lighting his hand up, as a look of terror appeared on the Akuma's face.

Chat shoved his hand down, connecting it with the pavement, which started to crack, before he threw the Akuma through the pavement and into the sewer. Chat kept hitting the Akuma until their face resembled a bruised fruit.

"CHAT NOIR!" Screamed Kagami, blood soaking her front, jerking the Hero from his rage.

"Yes?" Said Chat, his foot pressed against the Akuma's face.

"She needs to get to a hospital." Said Kagami, trying to put on a brave face.

Chat frowned, before striding over to Marinette, her white shirt stained red.

"I'll go as fast as I can." Said Chat, gently picking Marinette up and carefully using his baton to take him to the rooftops.

With their heroine out of harm's way, the mob turned to the Akuma.

"I don't suppose we can talk this out?" asked the Akuma.

Across the City, Chloe Bourgeois sat gaping at the TV, her mind continuously pulling blanks. Elsewhere, Alya Césaire was running out of her home at full speed, intent on finding the hospital Chat Noir was taking her best friend to.

Nino and Kim stared at the tv screen, lead lining their stomachs and their hearts frozen. All across the city, everyone who knew Marinette was in shock, Jagged was already sorting out the medical bills and Nadja Chamack had left the news studio.

Lila's jaw hung agape at the television, the one time she and her mother watch TV in ages and she finds out that Marinette is Ladybug, the two people she hates the most are the same person. It actually made sense why Ladybug had exposed her, since she found that Marinette was a private person. Of course, while Lila was mulling this over, the Akuma ripped Marinette's arm off. After that, Lila threw up.
