Chapter 6: The Beginning of the End

"It's here!" Dick screamed as he ran around the house locating his family members.

"What?" Jason answered as he peaked out his bedroom door, the music from inside blaring out, "What's here?"

"The Execrable thing!!" Dick answered frantic.

"WHAT! WHY SO SOON???" Jason panicked as he leaped out his room and called for a family meeting, Marinette and Jon included.

As soon as Damian heard the beeping from his intercom, he knew something was wrong; they only called a family meeting if there was some big news or if something was seriously wrong.

"What's wrong?" Jon called from the TV.

Damian turned around to meet Jon stuffed with Cheetos watching cartoons and Marinette feeding her kwamis and answered gloomily, "We have a family meeting." they paused, "You two included."

As Ladybug, Superboy and Robin made their way into the Batcave, they made their way to the table where the rest of the heroes stood waiting.

"What's the problem?" Robin began.

"It's here. The End." Nightwing responded. "It's started."

Ladybug'd been gone for months now and so had Chat Noir. And apparently, Hawkmoth had also decided to take a vacation. Paris had been in deep turmoil wondering where their main hero duo had gone and just what had happened to them. Was Paris finally safe? Or was it all leading to something big?

"My blog's losing views." Alya grumbled as she flew her hands in the air. "There aren't any akumas to report or even heroes to interview."

Nino put an arm round his wide eyed fiancée and hugged her close. "Alya. You've been at this blog for years. Don't you think it's time to let the heroes rest?"

She looked up into his slightly burnt caramel eyes. She was just so adorable! He couldn't tell her off! He sighed, "I'm sure they're fine."

Nino looked off into the sky. If he just had the turtle miraculous, he would be out and about looking for the two heroes who'd disappeared those few months ago. Meanwhile, Alya thought the same but about the fox. And so did all of the other heroes scattered around Paris, you could practically feel Chloe's scoff.

His hunger was growing. That bastardly robin got in his way! If not for him and his stupid sword, he could've gotten his Lady and whisked her far away on a white horse into the sunset.

Adrien slapped himself. Just what was going on in his head! The pain was excruciating! It was getting harder and harder to control. He would've broken days ago if he didn't have enough self control. He was clinging onto s life line and if it broke, he there's wouldn't be a human for Ladybug to save.

Then again, would she even save him after his much he scared her?

He felt a cold hand wipe against his cheek.

"I'm sorry Adrien."

Adrien looked up. Plagg never called him by his name. It was then that he noticed wet tears rolling down his cheeks. He sniffed.

"I'm so sorry." Plagg looked so hurt. Plagg was never hurt! He was hurt because he couldn't control himself! Why was it so darn hard to control his own body!! No wonder her was given the black cat of destruction; all he ever did was destroy everyone's lives.

"Sure!"

Ladybug's eyes widened as she watched the girl on the other side of the screen, Starfire.

"Seriously?" she responded.

"Yup! This is definitely not the weirdest thing I've heard."

Ladybug's mouth opened wide as she stood awkwardly in shock. This was definitely not how she thought it would go, she was expecting more or a fight from the brightly haired hero.

She shook herself. This was not the time. "Um okay. Thank you for your assistance. You'll need to get here fast. It's already started."

The hero in the other side smirked as she responded, "We're already here."

Ladybug's eyes widened as Robin came running back in and informed here that they had arrived. It was time. Although she'd had training from the brothers, she still felt that she wasn't ready. But even if she had to go all out, she would save her beloved cat. Then maybe things would go back to normal.

Maybe.
