"TIKKI!" Marinette screamed out for her tiny friend as the building collapsed around her and also began sinking.

Marinette hastily looked around for Tikki but the dust swirling around was too dense to see through. Marinette's lungs began to feel tight as she coughed and heaved through the thick air.

"TIKKI! WHERE ARE YOU?" She screamed again but this time, it hurt to scream, her lungs began compressing as the amount of breathable air decreased.

Fear shot through Marinette as a tear slipped past her eye, "TIKKI!" She coughed heavily, "Please..." She droned off, her head began to feel heavy and her eyes started to sting.

She rubbed her eyes to remove all the dust that was collecting in them but it was no use. She could barely see or breathe, couldn't find her friend and was most likely about to be crushed to her death.

"Marinette!?" She heard a squeak.

"Tikki!" She choked out, hoping her voice could lead her kwami to her.

Tikki zoomed around the former room before locating Marinette curled up on the floor and struggling for breath. She fluttered her way quickly over to Marinette.

"Marinette! Are you okay?"

Marinette nodded, her throat was in excruciating pain so, as much as she tried, she could barely form words.

"It's going to be okay, Marinette!" Tikki sniffled, trying to figure out what she could do but she knew there was nothing to be done.

Marinette was soon going to collapse from deoxygenation, then the building would fall on her and she'd be crushed to death.

"Tikki," Marinette managed a whisper.

"Yes?" Tikki replied, her eyes watering as she watched her best and closest friend slowly disintegrate away from her.

"Spots on," she whispered with a strained throat.

Chat Noir heard the ruckus from his house and bounded over to see Marinette's house collapsing on top of her. An akumatized victim was behind it, this villain was focussing all his power on crushing Marinette inside her house. Chat Noir quickly rushed over, noting that both Marinette's parents were outside the building and were unable to do anything to save their daughter. His heart slowly broke as he watched the pair in tears. Chat Noir heard Marinette screaming from the outside, but she wasn't screaming in pain. She was screaming a name. It was faint from a distance but once Chat Noir scaled the building that was slowly collapsing he made out the name, 'Tikki'. That name, that particular name rang a bell; it seemed so familiar. Plagg, resting in his ring, reacted to this name.

'Adrien!' Plagg yelled to the boy, his voice was faint but Adrien could always hear his kwami, 'you need to save them right now!'

Plaggs' heart was breaking knowing that his love, his Tikki, was in a collapsing building. The thought of losing her scared him more than anything in the world.

Chat Noir nodded at his kwami's instructions but going into the building meant he was putting himself in danger so he had to take the victim out instead.

"HEY!" He called out to the man, "Ready for a cat fight?" Chat Noir jumped down from the building, landing on the road and facing the villain.

He turned his eyes to Chat Noir and the building stopped collapsing, "you think you can take on me? Pathetic boy," he chuckled, "the Masked Murderer always wins."
