Sedrik Fugar shut the door to his condo on the outskirts of Paris and immediately sunk down on to his behind, his back scraping mercilessly on his white door. He clutched his sphere shaped invention to his chest, almost crumbling it in the process.

Tears escaped his eyelids as sobs wracked against his body, his shoulders shook, his lungs heaved, and his throat throbbed.

His breaths felt like sandpaper in his throat and he was sure that his eyes were swollen red from crying.

Sedrik has felt rejection before; many, many times. But none like this. The past possible investors just shook their heads and waved him off with a flick of their hands. But none actually yelled at him.

No one thought that the Mayor was even capable of yelling, or that his face could even get the pigmentation that resembled one of a tomato.

Sedrik was embarrassed, completely and utterly embarrassed. And terrified. The news reporters followed him back to his condo.

They're most probably outside right now. It is known that Paris's reporters are merciless when it comes to getting evidence to support a tv-worthy story.

Sedrik sighed, not noticing the purple-black butterfly that fluttered into his condo underneath the door.

All of a sudden the sphere shaped invention turned black and a deep yet soothing voice echo through out Sedrik's head.

"Inventor, I am Hawkmoth." The man in his mind introduced himself.
Am I going crazy? Am I really hearing a voice inside of my head?

"No need to fear, for I am here to solve your humiliation. I can make your invention become worthy of fame and fortune. I can help you get rid of all the negative people who turned their backs and didn't give you a chance. But, I need two things in return: Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculouses. What do you say?"

Sedrik was a smart man, and he knew he was playing with the devil, but he couldn't resist the offer. His invention getting noticed? Payback on those who didn't give him the chance? Payback on the Mayor? And all he had to do was get some jewellery from two superheroes! How hard can that be?

"I agree, Hawkmoth." And a purple cloud enveloped Sedrik Fugar. Now he was the Inventor.
