Turmoil: a state of great disturbance, confusion, or uncertainty.

Turmoil was all that could go through Chat Blanc's head, and eventually it went through Adrien's head as well. It was Ladybug, it was the girl he loved, the girl he had fought alongside, the girl that made him him. Ladybug set the president of France down and looked at Chat Blanc,

"I know you're in there somewhere Chat Noir, and please I'm begging for you to come out." Ladybug said, while there had been a confidence in her voice it waned as she longed for her friend to return to her, for her friend to come back. Ladybug was visibly different, but he knew it was her, only one person he knew talked like that, spoke like that. A steady rain began to fall as they stood motionless. The president broke the silence by yelling through gritted teeth.

"Ladybug what are the police officers doing?" He asked, anger and distraught piercing his normal cold voice. Ladybug gasped as she looked over the edge. While they looked tiny from nine-hundred feet in the sky, she could see the crowds of people below being surrounded by the army of entranced police officers. Tears mixed with rain drops streamed down her face as she looked at Chat Blanc, who now stared at her with his purple eyes, it was a stare to pierce someone's soul, enough to make some burst into tears. Ladybug felt as if she would until she closed her eyes and yelled through the high winds.

"Enough of this, I'm ending it now!" She sprinted full speed to Chat Blanc who hardly flinched, as Ladybug reared her now clawed hand back, Chat Blanc drew a speared baton and spun it with the force of a cyclone in an effort to block her strike. The blow knocked Ladybug back who slid back on her feet as Chat Blanc recoiled and did the same. In a fury of blows they tried to attack each other but they were too evenly matched, any strike they could've made each of them had already seen it before.

"Leave me like you did that day Ladybug, leave me in the rain!" Chat Blanc aimed a blow for her face Ladybug struggled to block, she caught his hand in between her's and she flipped him over her back into the grating of the tower, the support beams hundreds of feet below shuddered from the impact. Yet Chat Blanc got up as if it were nothing.

"Leave me in tears, in pain, leave me like you did that day, because you didn't care about me then!" He ricocheted from the wall kicking her in the chest, sprawling Ladybug onto the wrought iron grating of the century old tower.

"Here Ladybug close your eyes and count to ten," Chat Blanc called to her, mocking the words she used the day she left him. Ladybug raised her arm to block his blow, but he grabbed her by the wrist and held onto it with the strength of a freight train. His purple eyes seemed to glow in the rain, as a wicked smile crossed his face like a fault line.

"Let me end your life, exactly how you ended mine."
