Miraculous Ladybug One-Shot Drops

Regarde-moi, Ma Lady

He'd been struck by a beam. And something was wrong. He was attacking them and obviously wasn't himself.

    What illusion could Rena Furtive create to help with this?
    Viperion hadn't yet used his Second Chance.

    She'd summoned her Lucky Charm and nearly cried when it dropped into her hands.

    "Uhh, Ladybug!?" called Viperion as he jumped backwards to dodge Cat Noir's punches. Then, his eyes fell onto the Lucky Charm. "Oh, good. You know what to do with that?"

    " Ha!" Ladybug half-laughed,half-cried. " What else can we do with this?"

    "Is that a paper bag!?!" yelled Rena Furtive as she kicked Cat Noir hard against his torso. He flew back against a building, crashing into the infrastructure.

    Ladybug looked around, searching for clues as to how to use the paper bag. Nothing was flashing.

    Then,in the darkness of the broken building, glinted the gleaming green eyes of a cat as they broke out from the shadows in their human, black-clad form.

    "Cataclysm," hissed Cat Noir, holding the inky-black orb in his claw-like fingers.

    "Oh, shoot," said Rena Furtive. Ladybug and Viperion couldn't help but agree. Cat Noir ran at them and, in turn, they ran to keep a safe distance between themselves and a possible vaporization.

    Sticking the bag between her lips, Ladybug lifted up an abandoned bin and turned and flung it at Cat Noir. He dodged it with a roar.

    "What are you making him angrier than he already is!?!" Rena shrieked.

    " We have to get him to use the Cataclysm on something else that isn't us!" yelled back Ladybug, having pulled paper bag out from her lips.

    "On it!" exclaimed Viperion, grabbing hold of a stack of road cones and flinging them at Cat Noir,who ducked and dived from them... but was unprepared for an ad-board that was hurled at him from Rena's direction.

    Ladybug's eyes widened as she caught sight of the ad --- "Adrien" ,the scent by Gabriel Agreste. "Rena!" she gasped as the fox-like heroine winked at her.

    Cat Noir growled at the face of the blonde model -- his face-- and he punched at it with his fist holding the Cataclysm, the board turning black and crumbling into dust. He stopped and breathed hard as he glared at the dark pile of ashes.

    Then, Ladybug's Lucky Charm vision turned on and Cat Noir's ring started flickering and flashing.

    "Of course!" she said. Viperion's head snapped to her.

    "What do we need to do?" he asked, tucking harp behind him.

    "We need to take his ring off," she replied, narrowing her eyes at Cat Noir.

    "Oh... is that a good idea?" asked Rena doubtfully,  also packing away her flute.

    "It has to work!" exclaimed Ladybug. "Just follow my lead!"

    And together they attacked him; kicking, punching and chopping. Rena lunged forward to ram a fist into his middle while Viperion threw his own punch against Cat Noir's jaw. Cat Noir's head knocked back and, in that same second,dropped forward, a deadly glare in his dilated cat-like pupils, and he kicked out against Viperion's chest, while also grabbing Rena's arm and twisting it behind her, before throwing her away from him.

    Viperion smacked into the streetlights while Rena had grunted out in pain. Ladybug glared at Cat Noir, her teeth baring slightly in her expression of anger.
