Ladybug, with one dot left on her earrings and still terribly weak from the previous blow, spun on her heel and ran towards Chat as fast as she could. Time seemingly slowed as she pounded her foot into the ground in front of Chat, facing the akuma. Chat weakly looked up just in time to see ladybug outstretch her arms. She turned her head to see Chat on the ground behind her, wide-eyed at what was about to happen. She gave him a quick, gentle smile. Time sped up again as she was hit with a beam of energy, sucking everything out of her. Her body went limp and she fell into Chat's arms. The akuma's footsteps stopped... Chat's breathing stopped... And Ladybug's heart... Stopped.
