More from the single non-exchange project that I could post WIP about.

Mayura flicked open her fans and assumed an aggressive stance. Chat Noir growled and she readied herself to fight.

"This certainly doesn't seem like a fair fight, now does it?" Mayura said. The purple portal appeared behind her, and the blue knight backed into it, keeping both of them in front of her until she disappeared from sight.

Chat Noir relaxed a little bit, smiling. So did she.

She would curse herself later for that lapse in vigilance as a feather flew out from the portal of darkness, stabbing itself into Chat Noir's chest.

"That'll even things up," the blue knight's voice said from the portal. "Have fun killing your partner, Ladybug!" she said, laughing as the portal disappeared.

Chat Noir dropped to his knees. The feather dissolved into a black ink racing across his body. She rushed to help him, but he waved her away.

"No!" he said. "I can feel darkness rushing in. Get away!"

"I'm not leaving you," she said. "We can fight this together."

He shook his head. "I'm becoming an akuma," he said. "Run!"

"No. Fight it!" she said. "You're stronger than anyone I know, Chat Noir. You can beat this! Don't give in!"

He shook his head. "Get out of here while you can, Ladybug! If you're still here, I'm going to try to kill you."

She opened her mouth to reply, but he screamed in pain as the ink consumed him, writhing around him, and then launched itself off of Chat Noir, forming an inky puddle not far away from them.

"Are you okay?" she asked him.

"I feel like a part of my heart is missing," he replied. "It hurts."
