Spirit of the Sphinx || Miraculous Fan Fiction ( Chat Noir X Ladybug X Reader)

Chapter 21 : Miraculous Yuwang

"What...did you just do? Did you kill her?"

"I did what I had to do," Plagg whispered quietly, watching as the black dust floated gently down to the earth.

"If Ladybug and Chat Noir had been destroyed – without the Miraculous of Creation and Destruction, the world and potentially the universe could have been erased." He pauses, then continues. "I still wish I could've saved her though."

We hovered in the air for a moment, each locked in our separate thoughts.

An ominous rumble shattered the silence and I looked around wildly, searching for the source. Then I saw it, a large crack, violently bisecting the horizon in two, and spreading outwards, spiderweb-like fractures splitting the earth below to reveal a huge, cavernous gulf the size of the Grand Canyon.

Another rumble came from above and I looked up to see chunks of sky breaking free, exposing the dark, hungry-looking void of space beyond.

"What's happening?" I screamed as more cracks spread, rupturing both earth and sky.

"Without Sphinx, the world she created in your mind is crumbling!" Plagg shouted.

"That doesn't sound like a good thing!"

"It's not! Unless you can repair the damage, we could be trapped in here forever!"

I closed my eyes and tried to focus. Wished for a bridge, a tent, anything to bridge the widening gap above and below me.

"Nothings happening!" I shouted. "Why didn't you have a plan for this?"

"I didn't have a lot of options at the time!" Plagg snapped.

Suddenly I felt exhausted. I mean, come on, it seemed like I had been fighting forever. I watched tiredly as more pieces broke free from the sky, making it look like a half-finished jigsaw puzzle.

"So...this is it?" I asked, "after everything we went through, we're all going to die?"

"Maybe." Plagg's eyes narrowed. "Maybe not.

He put his paws to his temples and closed his eyes.

"What are you doing?" I shouted above the roar of destruction.

"Trying to contact a friend! Be quiet so I can focus!"

On the ground, Ladybug eyed the cracks moving toward her, swiftly as a river of snakes along the ground. Scooping Adrian up in her arms, she leapt swiftly across the smaller fractures in the ground, bounding from small rock island to smaller rock island, finally taking a break a on a large outcropping farther away from the yawning that was getting wider by the minute.

"Thanks milady...uh-Ladybug." Adrian said, releasing his hold around Ladybug's neck.

"Oh it's no bug problem-I mean, no big problem Adrian," Ladybug stammered. She looked away so he couldn't see her blushing. An awkward silence fell between them.

"Do you think [Y/N] defeated Sphinx?" Adrian finally asked, looking toward the sky.

"I hope so," said Ladybug, shading her eyes to look upwards as well. She could barely make out the speck that was [Y/N], but Sphinx was nowhere to be seen. "Though I'm not sure that this destruction counts as a win."

Adrian glanced in Ladybug's direction; she was still looking determinedly at the sky.

"Okay, elephant in the room, let's get this over with." Adrian snapped. He grabbed Ladybug's shoulders and turned her to face him. "Look at me." He demanded. "Do you have a problem with me being...well...me?" He asked, green eyes meeting hers anxiously.
