"Where... Am I?" the woman gasped, "what happened here?!"

"Mélanie ...." Hawk Moth gasped as he flew down to her, "it's me..."

"Gabriel?!" Mélanie gasped, "it is you! But..." Mélanie looked around in shock, "what have you done here?!"

"I did all this to get you back... And here you are... Adrien and I were--"

"Adrien?! Where is he?!" Mélanie remembered and looked around, "where's my baby?"

"Mother..." Adrien said softly as he continued to cry.

"You can't go out there... Hawk Moth will--"

"I don't care what Hawk Moth does..." Adrien cut Marinette off, "He almost killed the girl I love, and Mother doesn't realize what an evil man he is!"

"I have a better plan." Master put his hand on Adrien's shoulder.

"Gabriel... But, all these people look evil..." Mélanie said as she gestured to the Akumatized villains.

"Because I was willing to take extreme measures to get you back." Hawk Moth said, "I took the earrings of Ladybug and the ring of Cat Noir in order to bring you back. And now that you are here, we can rule the world together! Just you, me, and Adrien."

"But this is evil, Gabriel! You know how much it hurts me to see evil throughout Paris... And all these people..." Mélanie looked around in shock, "this isn't right. And you took Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses? Please, I beg you to give them back. They don't belong to you. And you already have the brooch of the butterfly..."

"But...Mélanie, if I return things to normal, you will disappear again. And I can't bear to lose you again..." Hawk Moth tookMélanie's hand, "please..."

"Gabriel..."Mélanie sighed. Then she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She looked and saw Master gesturing her to come to him, "Okay. I'll join you."

"Good." Hawk Moth sighed.

"But let me go find Adrien first."Mélanie said as she walked towards the direction she saw Master, and to her relief, Hawk Moth didn't follow.

She ran down the street and ran up to the Master's place. She burst through the door and held her face in her hands as she tried to take deep breaths.

"Welcome back, Mélanie." Master said as he and Wayzz walked out into the lobby whereMélanie was.

"Master... What has happened in my absence?! How is Adrien? My son? Have you seen him lately?"Mélanie asked in a desperate tone.

"He is okay. In fact, he has inherited your kindness, which reached out towards me, and I granted him a Miraculous of his own." Master explained.

"But Master, ever since I had him, I've told you that it was too dangerous..."

"I know what you said, but I knew that there was something in him that was strong and would help Paris." Master replied.

"Which Miraculous did you give him?"

"The ring."

"Master..."Mélanie sighed, "please tell me he's still alive..."

"I'm fine..." Mélanie gasped and turned to the empty doorway. She ran into the back room and saw Adrien with Marinette, "...Mom."

"Oh my goodness... Adrien..."Mélanie cried as she looked at her son. She ran up to him, and he ran up to her with open arms, and they hugged each other tight.

"I missed you so much, Mom." Adrien whispered.

"I missed you too..."Mélanie replied, "I'm so sorry I left you with your father this way..." She looked up and noticed Marinette, "This is your friend?"

"Yeah." Adrien smiled, "this is Marinette, a girl from my class...and....Ladybug."

"What?! N-N-No..." Marinette stuttered.

"Stop denying it, my Lady..." Adrien winked, making Marinette blush like crazy.

"It's a pleasure to meet any friend of Adrien's."Mélanie smiled as she shook Marinette's hand.

"It's an honor, Mrs. Agreste." Marinette smiled, "but we're kind of stuck in a situation... Hawk Moth has our Miraculouses, and so we don't have our powers..."

"We can easily fix that problem..." Master said as he walked in and went straight for the record player. He pressed in the password and the box of Miraculouses opened.

"The necklace and the comb!" Adrien said.

"Exactly." Master nodded, "I can step in as well, if I must."

"Master..." Wayzz said.

"It's fine, Wayzz. I can manage." Master said, "of course, some extra help can be helpful..."

"Mom... Father kept this Miraculous in his vault next to your picture. Before... were you..." Adrien asked.

"Yes."Mélanie looked down at the floor, "before you were born, I went out... We both did, your father and I. He went as Hawk Moth and I went out as Peacock. We fought crime, until you were born, and we had to take care of you. You were our pride and joy, until I got into that car accident."

"Yeah... Father regretted not being there for you from that day on... and he's been so strict ever since." Adrien said.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you Adrien." Mélanie apologized, "but right now, Hawk Moth is getting ready to use the combined powers of Ladybug and Cat Noir and take over all of Paris. Not only that, but make his Akumatized villains permanent."

"That can't happen! Those are our friends!" Marinette said.

"Then we have to do something about it!" Adrien said, and Marinette nodded.

"I'll take this then." Marinette picked up the comb as Adrien picked up the necklace.

"This is weird...I've never really been used to wearing necklaces..." Adrien said as he put the necklace on. The fox-tail charm on it started glowing, and before he knew it, a little fox Kwami appeared before him.

"Aah... I haven't been out in ages..." the Kwami yawned.

"This is Vix." Master said.

"Nice to meet you, Vix. I'm Adrien." Adrien chuckled as he tapped the Kwami's head.

"Sweet. Got any crackers?" Vix asked as he flew around the room a little.

"Not now. We have a city to save." Adrien groaned.

"But Kwamis need to regain energy you know..." Vix rolled his eyes as he put his little paws on hips.

"Here." Master held up a cracker, and Vix took it up and started eating.

"Who's my Kwami?" Marinette asked as she put the comb into her hair. The bee at the end of the comb started glowing, and soon, a striped black and yellow Kwami that looked somewhat like Tikki appeared, "oh, she's adorable!"

"This is Apis, your Kwami. Apis, this is Marinette." Master introduced, "she likes honey drops."

"Of course." Marinette chuckled as Master held out a handful of honey drops.

"Ooh!" Apis beamed as she flew down, took a drop, and flew back up to Marinette as she sucked on the drop, "Hello there, Marinette! It's so nice to meet you!"

"And this must be yours." Master said as he held out the pin of the peacock to Mélanie.

"Oh, thank you."Mélanie thanked as she attached the pin onto her shirt, and soon after, her Kwami appeared. A little peacock.

"Mélanie! You're back!" the Kwami beamed as she flew up toMélanie and hugged her shoulder.

"It's so nice to see you again, Myan."Mélanie laughed as her Kwami flew around her.

"So what's the phrase?" Adrien asked.

"For Vix, it's also 'claws out'. But with Apis, it's 'stripes on'." Master answered.

"Alright! Let's give this a shot!" Adrien said as he cracked his knuckles, "Vix, claws out!"

With that, Vix was sucked into the necklace, and Adrien gained a tail, ears, an orange and black mask and skin-tight leather outfit, and a long black and orange flute.

"So what, he's now Volpina?" Marinette giggled.

"Volpino." Master chuckled.

"This is so cool!" Adrien, now Volpino said as he looked at himself in a mirror. He examined his flute, held it to his lips, blew into it, and copies of himself appeared around the room, "illusions! Sweet!"

"My turn." Marinette said as she adjusted the comb in her hair, "Apis, stripes on!"

Apis was sucked into the comb, and Marinette wore a black and yellow striped skin-tight leather outfit, a black mask, yellow hair bands, wings, and she was now equipped with black and yellow disks.

"Whoa..." Volpino sighed as he looked at Marinette, or as she was now known as Bumblebee.

"Even as a different superhero, you still got your cat-charm, Volpino..." Bumblebee smirked.

"Mélanie, follow them out, I'll catch up later." Master said.

"Right. Let's go." Bumblebee said, and she, Volpino, andMélanie ran out. Once they got to the Eiffel Tower, everything was different.

The Akumatized villains had went around and were vandalizing the city, leaving their marks.

"Ah, look who it is..." Hawk Moth smirked, "a couple new villains.Mélanie, come. We can fight them together."

"Gabriel, if you continue to allow these villains to harm the city I love and its citizens, then I can't help you. I'm sorry."Mélanie stated.

"...what are you talking about?! Adrien, please..." Hawk Moth turned to Volpino.

"Uh, no. You may be my father, but I'm not evil." Volpino replied.

"Grr...Then I guess I've found my new family. Villains, get them!!" Hawk Moth pointed his cane at the three heroes.

"What's the plan?" Volpino whispered to Bumblebee.

"We aim for his Miraculous and destroy it. Once we've destroyed it, then we're all free. But first, of course..."

"We get our own Miraculouses first."

"Exactly." Bumblebee nodded, "care to join us, Mrs. Agreste?"

"Gladly."Mélanie smiled, "Myan, feathers out!"

Myan flew out, then was sucked intoMélanie's pin. She had a blue mask with a gradient blue-green-turquoise leather skin-tight outfit. She also had a tail of peacock feathers and a peacock feather in her hair, and she was equipped with two blue folding fans.

Bumblebee and Volpino gaped as she held the fans up.

"Your mom is so beautiful..." Bumblebee smiled.

"Not as beautiful as you, my Lady." Volpino winked.

"Heh-heh..." Bumblebee blushed and chuckled a little. She didn't see any use in rejecting him since she now knew that this was Adrien, the boy she's been crushing on for a long time, "okay. Let's do this."

The three heroes approached the large group of villains, including Hawk Moth.

"Hawk Moth! We made a promise to Paris: That we will protect them from you and your phony minions, and that we'll do whatever it takes to put you down for good!" Bumblebee yelled.

"I would love to see you try..." Hawk Moth chuckled, "Take them down! No mercy!"

"Let's see what this little fox can do!" Volpino smirked as they ran up to the approaching villains. Bumblebee turned to him,

"Get our Miraculouses back, first. He won't be able to withstand our powers combined." Bumblebee reminded him.

"Right. Get ready to move!" Volpino responded as he jumped onto Copycat and hit him with his flute and sword-fought DarkBlade at the same time.

Bumblebee looked ahead and saw Lady Wifi and Antibug run up to her. She smirked and got out her disks,

"Let's end this."
