"Have you got any ideas where the Akuma might be hidden, M'Lady?" Chat Noir asks Ladybug, as the duo take a quick retreat from their latest Akuma victim on a nearby rooftop.

"I haven't quite worked that out yet Chat" Ladybug sounded unusually confused, "Something feels off and I can't put my finger on it"

"Yeah, I don't think we've ever come up against an Akuma this strong before, have we?"

"No. Something really horrible must have happened to him for his emotions to control such strong powers. We have to be very careful to not be hit by his blasts, it could be the difference between winning and losing this fight!"

"Shall we try and get a better look so we can work out where his Akuma might be hidden?"

"Well, let's see what we know first. His powers are controlling people's emotions. Anyone showing love or a strong friendship bond when they get hit by the blasts have become enraged and caused widespread chaos. Everyone else who has been hit by the blasts has become his servants and captured anyone, not under his spell."

"It sounds to me M'Lady, that our victim has had something happen with or to someone very close to him. Do we have any clues as to who our victim is so it can help us solve our little riddle?"

"Now that you mention it, I remember seeing two friends getting into a bit of a physical fight in the park this morning. I was in my civilian form so I couldn't stop to help, but Lieutenant Roger and Officer Malone got there in time before things got too heated between them. Both boys were taken back to the station for questioning, so maybe one is still back at the station untouched by the Akuma?"

"Hmm, Interesting" Chat said, thinking out loud, "a friend of mine mentioned something about that this morning, but I didn't think much of it at the time. He mentioned something about fighting over a girl? I think? A couple of senior students that go to Françoise Dupont High School. I think their names were Jovah and Pascale."

"Oh no, I think I know who our victim is! It's Jovah! And the girl that you're referring to is Odette"

In the distance, loud blood-curdling shrieks can be heard once more, as more civilians are hit by the Akuma victim's blasts. Ladybug and Chat Noir both start bolting towards the direction that they heard the shrieks coming from, the Louvre.

The pair stopped on one of the rooftops of a nearby building so that they don't alert the victim of their arrival. There, they find Odette, hands behind her back and feet both bound with rope and kneeling on the ground near the Louvre's entrance, begging Jovah for, forgiveness of the misunderstanding.

"I am no longer this Jovah you call me; the name is Warmonger!" He angrily replied, "Why should I listen to you after everything I ever did was for you!"

"Well, things seem to be a little heated up down there, that heated that you could almost say it's cat-a-strophic!" Chat Noir said leaning in towards Ladybug wiggling his eyebrows waiting for a response of some kind from her.

"Really Kitty, you need to work on your tack and timing of your silly puns!" Ladybug replied as she rolled her eyes at Chat's comment. "So, now that we know the people involved, where could that Akuma be hiding?" she said, as Ladybug opens her yo-yo to zoom in on the screen for a better view of Warmonger.

"Look, Kitty, there" Ladybug exclaimed, pointing to the screen where she noticed a small band wrapped around Warmonger's left wrist. "Is that what I think it is? A friendship bracelet?" Ladybug then zooms in on Odette and sees that she too is wearing the same bracelet. "That can't be just a coincidence, can it?"

"What do you mean, Bugaboo?"

"Well, usually friendship bracelets, especially a handmade one like that, come from having a really strong relationship with the other person, a bond from the heart. Which makes me wonder, given the extent of the current situation, I think that Jovah might want more from their relationship but keeps his emotions hidden in fear that he might lose Odette forever if they do come to the surface"

"Ok, so how does this involve Pascale then?"

"Obviously, something happened between Pascale and Odette. Though, surely Jovah should have mentioned something about how he really feels about Odette to Pascale, unless, he had been keeping all his emotions to himself, which would explain why Warmonger is as strong as he is because of all Jovah's bottled emotions!"

Chat nods in agreeance as his fingers stroke his chin, "So, what's the plan then, M'Lady?"

"We need to figure out a way to distract him long enough for us to get down there and get to his bracelet without been hit by his blasts"

"I have an idea that includes Warmonger's hostage. It could be risky, but it's worth a shot? Or, we could see what that lucky charm of yours has installed for us today, Bugaboo" Chat says while wiggling his eyebrows once again.

Ladybug rolls her eyes "Here's hoping that it's something we can use to get the job done quicker!" She grabs her yo-yo and throws it up into the air, "Lucky Charm!". A small red and black spotted object appears and falls into her hands. "Hmmm" as she looks the thick oval shape object over before she locates a hidden blade down one of the long sides, "So, what exactly was your idea Chat, and how could we use this pocket knife to fight Warmonger?" Ladybug said, now curious in Chat's plan, but a little confused by the pocket knife that her miraculous had given her.

"If you're right about Jovah having romantic feelings for Odette, then maybe we can get Warmonger distracted by getting Odette to kiss him long enough for us to cut off the bracelet?"

"Hmm, an interesting concept" Ladybug replied while thinking it all through. "Two things though, one, how are we going to get down there without being noticed and two, how are we going to get Odette to kiss him?"

"Ok, how about this. Phase 1, I lure Warmonger away for a bit while you talk to Odette about the plan and convince her to help us out? We can stay in contact with our coms, that way I know when you're in the clear and I'll lead him back here ready for phase 2." Chat replies, puffing his chest out proudly before removing his earpiece from the bottom of his staff.

Ladybug removes her earpiece from her yo-yo and the duo checked to make sure they're working properly. "Ok, then phase 2 would be getting Odette to sweet talk Warmonger without raising too much suspicion and lure him in for a big kiss"

"Yes, then phase 3 is you sneak up from behind, cut the bracelet off with the pocket knife releasing the Akuma, then purify the Akuma and everything goes back to normal"

"Sounds like a plan! Now, let's make it happen"

Ladybug and Chat Noir both head off in opposite directions, Ladybug setting herself up on the building rooftop at the back side of the Louvre while Chat Noir sets himself on top of the building opposite the front. "Are you all set to go Kitty?" Ladybug checked, to see if they were both in position and ready to put phase 1 into action.

"Ready as I'll ever be, M'Lady." Chat replied, preparing himself to play the 'Chat' and mouse game. "I'm going to lure Warmonger down towards the Eiffel Tower and hold him there as long as possible. Let's keep the line open so I can hear what's happening with you and Odette and I can warn you if I run into any problems along the way."

"Ok, when you're ready, you take the lead. Good luck Chat Noir!"

Chat takes one last look around at the obstacle course that he is about to enter, muttering to himself, "Please let this work! Please let this work! I can't let M'Lady down!" and with a final breath, he volts himself off the rooftop and lands 100 metres in front of the Louvre entrance.

"Well I've heard of lovesick tantrums before but this one is simply cat-a-strophic!"

Warmonger whips around and throws one of his blasts in Chat's direction. "Missed me!" Chat says as he jumps out of the way.

"Stay still you annoying little lovesick pest! Don't think I don't know how you really feel for your beloved Bug" Warmonger says angrily before sending off a series of consecutive blast in Chat direction.

"Missed Me! Missed me again! Geez, you must have done purrrity pawly during your archery classes last week!" Chat crows as he starts to lead Warmonger unknowingly down the street towards the Eiffel Tower, as Warmonger become more and more frustrated by the energetic Kitty.

Once the two of them were out of sight, Ladybug races down to Odette's side. "LADYBUG! What's happened to Jovah? He's scaring me! Can you get me out of these binds?" She squealed trying to get a million questions out at once.

"Shh, slow down, it's going to be ok but I'm going to need your help. Do you think you can do that for me?" Ladybug says in a calm but urgent voice. Odette silently nods her head in agreeance. "But before we do, did anything, in particular, happen between Pascale and yourself over the past day or two?"

"Why? what happened? I'm confused?" Odette raced, then a little sheepishly "Um, yes" just like a little kid been caught red-handed, stealing a cookie from a cookie jar.

Ladybug facepalms herself and thinks 'REALLY! This girl is as clueless as they come!'

"Odette, do you even realise that you're at the centre of a major fight that Jovah had with Pascale this morning? Whatever happened between you and Pascale, I need to know"

Odette squirmed trying to get away from answering Ladybug's question, but realised that she's got nowhere to hide, she's stuck where she is. "Um, Ok, Well, Pascale and I were in the middle of working on a History project in the library together after school. All of a sudden, I realised that he was a little too close for my comfort, that's when I went to move. Pascale grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss. As soon as I realised what was going on, I pushed him off me, grabbed my things and ran all the way home crying. Pascale knew I had feelings for someone else, so why did he do it?" She said starting to sob all over again.

"Who Odette? Who is it that you like?" Ladybug asks as she starts praying in her head 'Please be Jovah! Please be Jovah!'

A red hue crept across Odette's face as she shied away "It's… it's… it's him" she sighs "It's Jovah"

A sigh of relief helped Ladybug to relax, if only for a split second, "Well that's going to help our plan to work even more so"

"What do you mean? I never acted on my feeling towards Jovah because I was too scared that it would damage the amazing relationship we already share right now."

"Did you know the feelings are mutual? That's why Warmonger's powers are so strong because he kept all the love and the hurt to himself because he too did not want to lose the bond that you both share."

"N…No, I didn't" Odette replied sounding disappointed "So what was your plan and how does it involve me?"

"We know that his Akuma is hidden in the friendship bracelet that he wears. We need to distract him enough to get it off him so that we can release the Akuma. We were hoping that if he was distracted with a passionate kiss, it would give us enough time to cut it off him with my pocket knife"

"Sure thing, I can do that. I'll finally be able to confess to him and hopefully, we can finally be something other than just friends. Um, any chance you could free me first though?"

"Sorry Odette, I can't. We need to make him think that nothing has changed since he left so that he doesn't suspect that this is a setup."

"Oh, yeah, I kind of forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder."

"If anything, make it look like you've tried to move to untie yourself. When he returns, don't be afraid to show and tell him how scared he is making you, it should make him stop and realise that scaring you isn't something he wants to do to you and his softer side will come out. When it does, that's when you should confess to him about how you feel. Then if all goes according to plan, Jovah will want to kiss you, we'll cut the bracelet off and I can purify the Akuma. Got it?" Ladybug says with great confidence. "Quick, they're coming!"

"Yep, all set to go" Odette replies as Ladybug runs off to hide nearby ready for phase 2 to commence.

Meanwhile, Chat Noir had been sending Warmonger all around the streets of Paris, though he was not sure by now who was leading who anymore. Every time Chat went to head down another street, Warmonger had thrown a blast out that way causing him to suddenly change directions "Hey Bugaboo, now would be a good time to hide just in case we suddenly show up again. I have a feline that he's trying to lead me back to the open space near the Louvre."

"You're in the clear here Kitty. Odette is 100% on board and we're ready for phase 2 to commence."

Chat, relieved by Ladybug's words was not yet out of trouble. "Oof," he thought "That's getting a little to close for comfort. Let's hope I can make it back before I lose too much more of my speed." As he only just managed to miss one of Warmonger's blasts by an inch.

Just as Chat could see the Louvre at the end of the street he had just turned onto, "BAM!" Chat was sent flying through the air and landed badly from one of Warmonger's blasts.

"Mwaah haa haa haa! At last, you are MINE! And now to go and take care of that pesky little bug of yours, then Paris will be MINE!" Warmonger crows.

"Ladybug will stop you! Argh!" Chat yells at him! "She always does!"

"Argh! Ladybug! I've been hit!" Chat exclaims into the com piece in excruciating pain as his system feels like it's being torn to shreds yet his miraculous is helping him to try and keep control. "I'm sorry M'Lady, I failed. You're going to have to finish this off on your own" His final words were calm and sincere.

"CHAT! NO!" Ladybug screamed as a sudden burst of panic washed over her before her worst fears were confirmed by the frightful screams that came down the earpiece signalling to Ladybug that the Akuma blast had finally won and taken over his body.

"Great! Things just got a little bit harder" Ladybug said to herself as she reached for her yo-yo and checked her tracking app to locate Chat's whereabouts. 'Great, the signal's still working. That means I can track him to see where he's going.' Ladybug thinks to herself, 'OH, NO! That's not good! He's heading straight for us!' as panic starts to rise up in her once again.

At that same moment, Odette let out a scream to alert Ladybug that Warmonger had arrived back to the Louvre and that he had noticed that Odette had managed to wiggle her way a short distance from where he had left her. "And where did you think you were going, Missy!" Warmonger's stern voice boomed at Odette.

Odette let out another squeal as Warmonger approached her, now with tears of fear rolling down her cheeks as Warmonger picked her up and threw her over his shoulder "Please Jovah, please! You're really scaring me!" She sob, "I never meant to hurt you and yet somehow I have. I love you too much to ever want to hurt you! I so sorry Jovah!" Odette sob, now completely hysterical.

Warmonger freezes mid-stride unsure now on how to proceed. He slowly lowers Odette to the ground so she can stand. "W… What did you just say?"

"I'm sorry Jovah" Odette sobbed, with her head still hanging looking at the ground.

"No, not that"

Odette stopped and wiped the tears from her face, "You're scaring me?" now puzzled as to what she could have said at that moment to make him question her this way.

"No, not that either"

"What else did I say", Odette thinks to herself 'oh, did I say that out loud.' In a puzzled yet curious voice, she asks "I love you?" closing her eyes and too scared to look up at him in fear of rejection. The next thing she feels is someone's arm around her waist as she's been yanked away. Odette immediately opens her eyes to see herself flying through the air, with Chat Noir.

"Why you pesky little kitten!" Warmonger now fuming.

As Chat jumps from rooftop to rooftop carrying Odette, confused she asks "Um, Chat Noir? I'm pretty sure this wasn't part of the plan?"

Chat stops and turns to look at her with a purple hue to his face and purple eyes "Plans change"

Ladybug watches on in complete shock before realising the opportunity that Chat has unintentionally left open for her. While Warmonger is so distracted by Chat Noir getting away with Odette, Ladybug quickly throws her yo-yo and restrains Warmonger. By the time he realises what has happened and goes to make an attempt to break free, Ladybug has walked up to him with the pocket knife and cut off his friendship bracelet releasing the Akuma "NNNNOOOOOO!" Warmonger cries.

"No more evil doings for you little Akuma" as Ladybug throws her yo-yo to capture the now trying to escape purple butterfly, "Time to de-evilize!". She retracts the yo-yo back to her hand and opens it up, "Bye, bye little butterfly". "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG" she yells out as she throws the closed pocket knife up in the air as everything resets itself to how it should be.

Chat Noir finally comes out of his trance and notices straight away that something isn't right, "What am I doing here? Why does it look like I was kidnapping you? Shouldn't we be at the Louvre?"

Before Odette had a chance to answer, "Kitty, are you there? Are you and Odette both Ok?" Ladybug's voice comes through his earpiece.

"You don't know how happy it makes me feel to hear your voice again M'Lady"

"Can you make it back to the Louvre fast? I haven't got long before I detransform" she replied with an extremely urgent voice.

"We'll be there in a flash"

"Good" Ladybug said to herself as she found Jovah's now repaired friendship bracelet.

"Ladybug! What are you doing here? What happened?"

"You were akumatized Jovah, but everything's going to be ok now." Ladybug hands over the friendship bracelet, "I believe this belongs to you?"

"Yeah, I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost it! The person who gave it to me means the world to me." Jovah said taking the bracelet from Ladybug, bringing it to his chest as he inhaled with his eyes closed to picture her in his mind before exhaling and reattaching the bracelet to his wrist.

"Jovah, you should really tell this person how you feel about her" at that moment, Chat arrives with Odette safely in his arms, "She's waiting for you, you know". Jovah's eyes open wide at the comment as Ladybug steps away towards Chat. At the same time, Odette jumps straight out of Chat's arms and sprints towards Jovah leaping into his arms squeezing him tightly before briefly breaking away and kissing him on the lips.
