Nathanael's plan was quite simple really.

Gain the ball of lights attention, and drag Alya along as they are chased, allowing Marinette to run somewhere and turn into Ladybug.

And maybe get to Juleka and Rose and find some way to get the chains off of their wrists.

Meanwhile, Chat Noir and The Master were still going toe to toe.

"You know pet, you should be lucky to have a free will." The Master growled, his cane defending him from a blow of Chat Noir's staff.

"Huh?" Chat Noir muttered, caught off guard, which The Master took the moment to strike, by smacking Chat Noir's face with his cane.

"You have your right to choose, to decide, to even fu-" The Master was cut off by Chat Noir's fist to his stomach.

The Master jumped back a couple of feet, face grim. "To even talk, something I was forbidden to do." He finished, his eye flashing dangerously. His gloved hand tightened around his cane.

Chat Noir couldn't help but feel pity for The Master. It was clear he had been a servant, or a slave, for someone. Yet... "Why are you telling me this?"

The Master smirked, standing tall. "You might as well know a little about your executioner. Once I'm done with my order, my next move is one I've been planning for years."

"To kill your old master?" Chat Noir asked cautiously, body tense.

The Master chuckled lowly. "Exactly, pet."

"But that's murder! Even if he, or, she, was cruel, murdering them wouldn't help you, wouldn't make you feel any better! It's just Hawkmoth's influence that's making you think that way! Don't let him control you!" Chat Noir yelled, making The Master sneer.

"I've had those thoughts for years, pet. Hawkmoth has only given me power I needed to in order to carry out my plan. And I'm grateful, for I finally am able to be free from that disgusting man." The Master lowered his black top hat slightly with his gloved fingers, covering his eye from sight.

Chat Noir tensed, expecting The Master to make a move, but the akumatized victim stood still.

"...I'm just dragging this out, aren't I? I apologize. And it seems Ladybug is quite late, so I'm afraid you're first in line to be executed." And in a blink of an eye, The Master had his gloved hand around Chat Noir's throat who dropped his staff in shock, and immediately began to punch and kick, but they didn't seem to have any effect.

"Hawkmoth gave me power, and I shall complete the task he has given me. So, farewell pet." The Master chuckled, hand tightening around the hero's neck.

Chat Noir began to panic as it began to get more and more difficult to breathe.

Meanwhile, everybody in chains began panicking for their hero, while Marinette and Alya could only gasp in horror as the cat clad hero was being choked to death.

Nathanael glanced behind him, only to catch a glimpse of the dark clad hero being choked, before quickly making his move to catch the ball of lights attention.

Ladybug was needed. Now.

Otherwise, Chat Noir would lose his only life.

Nathanael rushed out of the bushes, Alya and Marinette not paying any attention due to being in shock.

Nathanael quickly located a rock and threw it at the ball of light, which seemed to burst with light for a mere second before darting to the trio's hiding place.

Nathanael quickly ran back into the bushes, after picking up another rock, and grabbed the arm of the shocked Alya and began running.

Nathanael glanced back, spotting the ball of light following them.

'Now Marinette can transform.' Nathanael thought, pulling Alya along the trees.

Back with a shocked Marinette.

Tikki, once certain Marinette was alone, darted out of her hiding place and flew to Marinette's face.

"Marinette, snap out of it, you need to transform! Hurry!" The kwami waved her tiny hands around in a panic.

The blunette immediately stood up and said, "Tikki, spots on!!"

Seconds later, Ladybug stood where Marinette once was.

Ladybug immediately went into action, darting out of the bushes.

She had an Akuma to get rid of.  

Taking a massive leap, she smashed her feet into The Master who dropped Chat Noir, and was sent flying into the fountain.

"Chat Noir, are you alright?!" Ladybug asked frantically, immediately darting to his side, helping him get up.

Chat Noir coughed a few times, taking deep breaths, his head slowly focusing. "I'm... okay."

"Striking from behind? How dishonorable." The Master got up, his clothes soaked, yet he didn't seem fazed.

Ladybug hands formed fists.

The Master noticed, a sinister grin forming on his face. "You seem angry."

Ladybug said nothing, only feeling anger at the Akuma for nearly killing her partner.

But deep down, she knew it wasn't truly his fault.

"Ladybug... be careful..." Chat Noir rasped, his voice a whisper.

"I'll be fine, join when you feel well enough, and try to figure out where the Akuma is." Ladybug whispered into his ear.

Chat Noir nodded in acknowledgement.

Ladybug darted forward, as did The Master.

Round two.
