A Sudden Return 3/3✅

Miraculous Ladybug: 29

Hawk Moth walked around and around. Two people, Chloe and Matthew watched him while they guarded Alya, who was still tied up.

"What are you thinking about?" Chloe finally broke the long silence.

Hawk Moth huffed. He was thinking about how he had already lost. Four of his villans had just been defeated. And the last one... Well Axis ran off!

He had to admit... Vex had been his greatest villain. All the other villains he was making now we're beginning to be useless. They didn't care about him. He didn't care about them. They had one simple task, to bring him the miraculous, yet they managed to fail each time.

Axis... He had already given up on that villain. Axis was probably back to normal now, as he couldn't control him. This was the first time, him, Hawk Moth, had given up on a villain, but he had done it.

The three, or four, including Alya, didn't hear the superhero that was spying on them.

Carapace couldn't obviously handle this alone. He had to find help, so he quickly tried to call Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Unfortunately he remembered that both of them were in their civilian forms now, so that couldn't be help.

But then he recieved a call. He was sure the others heard it, as Matthew had called out "who's out there?!" Carapace quickly ran farther away from them to prevent getting caught.

"Cat Noir, what's up."

"Dude, are you seriously still searching for Alya? But it's the middle of the night." Cat Noir spoke. "I went to visit you, but your parents said you weren't home. Therefore worried. Come back."

"No! You come here!" Carapace urged. Yes Cat Noir knew who he was. After all Ladybug had told him after they both found out it was Adrien behind the black mask all along.

Cat Noir quickly checked the location of where he was. He frowned, not finding the place familiar, but he still gave Marinette a visit and told her they had to go see Carapace.

Marinette was half asleep, technically because she was still thinking about Hawk Moth and what he was going to do next. She was troubled.

She rubbed her eyes. "Why are we going to see Carapace!"

"He needs us, apparently. Marinette, I think he's found out where Alya is."

That made Marinette to quickly sit up from her bed and look at Cat Noir, wide eyed. She was no longer sleepy, but a mix of shock, surprise and excitement filled her eyes.

"Are you serious?"

"That's what I think." Cat Noir helped her up, Marinette quickly calling Tikki, and transforming.

"Well then it's a good thing I got prepared," Marinette sighed as she opened her window. "Come on, kitty. We have a bad villain to catch."

Agreeing Cat Noir followed her out.

Carapace was glad to see his friends finally arrive. He had almost been caught by those villains, but thankfully he didn't get caught.

He showed Ladybug and Cat Noir where Alya was, being tied up on a chair, this time only Chloe keeping an eye on her.

"You see how you it feels like?!" Chloe spat. "To be trapped and treated like this. Well, they did say treat others the way you want to be treated. I guess when you were treating me evilly, you wanted to me to do the same to you."

Alya didn't reply, which caused Chloe to laugh in her face.

"Taste of revenge, Alya. No one's coming to save you. Not even your precious Nino has come. Seems like he's forgotten all about you being alive. In fact. He might have wanted you to be dead all along!"

Alya shook his head. "You're wrong! When you say no one's coming to save me, I think you were talking about yourself, cause no one's coming to save your little heartless soul!"

Chloe made a move to attack her but Matthew quickly stopped her. She stepped back from Alya, the hatred still in her.

"Alya, I'm not gonna let you go! After this, I'll make sure you suffer. You'll see. I've done it once... I can do it again!"
