(F,n) POV

The crime fighting robot flew into the stadium, and Max's robot followed. I ran up the a stadium walls, and sat in a Spiderman position on the wall, watching them fight. It seemed like they were having trouble controlling the robot with two people, cause they were losing the fight. Maybe I should help...

But then, they had things under control. I think... Chat Noir came out and used cataclysm on the robot. It rusted, before crumpling into dust, leaving an akumatized Max on the pile. The robot left a big XP orb, and the superheroes looked confused. Looks like she didn't need her lucky charm this time.

But then,

Poof

Another. Fluffing. Robot.

It destroyed Ladybug and Chat Noir's robot, so they ran towards the big XP orb, while dodging lasers and rockets. Soon, they were a huge robot again. It looked like the same as last time. The two robots fought, and they looked like they were tied, arms around each other. Wait, no, that sounds weird. They were wrestling.

Ladybug, or Marionette, came out of the robot. She had a spray paint can. Or at least I think so. She ran up the enemy robot's arm to his head. Yep. Spray paint can. She just sprayed red all over the glass where Max could see. Blinding him huh? Good strategy.

~Timeskip~

Ladybug and Chat Noir were winning. I heard a beep from my necklace, so I glided to the floor and turned back to normal. I hope Niriko got home safety. And I hope Chloe burns in- no. She deserves worse. Definitely deserves worse. I looked around, and it seemed like everyone was in their houses.

Good thing I'm not near any houses. Or my secret would have gone out. I started walking back to my house, knowing that I wasn't in danger. I saw a red-and-black light fly above Paris, fixing buildings and turning the XP orbs back into normal people. So they finally defeated him huh. I looked back to the stadium, stopping in place, then started walking again.

Hmmm. Do I have any fo-

I couldn't finish my thought because something, or someone crashed into me. The thing and I fell into an alleyway. Owwwww. I landed on my arms, face on the ground.

"Crystal, why didn't you help out?!? It would've been so much faster with you there."

I turned my head and saw a blue pigtail. Marionette. I guess I should tell her.

"I did help. Sorta. But you guys handled the robot just fine! I was Papillon."

She got off, and helped me up from the ground. My chin was bleeding a bit, and my elbows were scraped. I winced a bit when I saw my injuries.

"What do you mean you were Papillon?!? You're Chimera Crystal!"

I looked at the ground, and I felt my hair fall in front of my face.

"My old kwami is dead. It was my fault. Then it's dead body turned to my new kwami."

I had more venom in my voice then I intended to, and tears made my eyes shine. I miss Chimera. Phobia is pretty awesome, but... She's scary. Chimera's death was my fault. They didn't deserve to die. I fell on my knees, and some blood dripped on the ground, mixed with tears. I felt arms surround me. I looked up to see Marionette, hugging me. Warm...

"It's not your fault... Don't beat yourself up over it."

I wrapped my arms around her, and let my tears out. We stayed like that for a while, hugging, me crying, and Marionette letting me cry on her shoulder. It felt... Nice, warm.
