Ladybug was for once in her life desperate. She couldn't find him anywhere. He had taken another bullet for her during their battle against the akuma and now she couldn't find him when she was on patrol.
'Where are you Chatton?' she thought. She then tripped over something and when she looked at it she knew what it must be.
"Chat's Miraculous." she muttered, tears starting to pool at the edge of her eyes. She had lost him and there was nothing she could do about it.
'Marinette, there's something you can do, it's very risky but,' Tikki started in her head.
"I'll do it, I'll do anything to have Chat Noir, whoever he is, beside me." Ladybug said as tears streamed down her face. Tikki was silent for a minute Marinette was about to ask her what was wrong but she heard her reply.
'Use your Lucky Charm, it will help you find the replacement.' Tikki said solemnly. Marinette's eyes widened but nodded.
"LUCKY CHARM!" she exclaimed. What came out of the light was a device of some kind with a little spot to scan Chat's Miraculous.
'Its an inter-dimensional portal that will find the world of the replacement.' Tikki said wearily. Marinette knew she only had about five minutes before she transformed back.
"Thank you Tikki, detransform me." she said as she released her transformation. Tikki flew out and she looked about as broken as Marinette was. She put Tikki in her purse to regain her energy with the cookies she stashed in there. She then put the ring on the scanner and once finished, the macine powered up. Once it opened the portal Marinette sighed and then took the first step into the new world of her partners replacement.
