September 2017

Today was a celebration of the heroes of Paris. Floats would be parading around the streets for hours. Miss Bustier's class were tasked with making presentations on heroes of history. The students started walking in and Miss Bustier was waiting. "Good Morning, students!" Caline greeted them.

"Good Morning, Miss Bustier!" The students answered. People began taking their seats. Students began cheering and clapping when Marinette and Adrien walked in. The two of them smiled and blushed.

Caline smiled when they sat down. "Before we begin, we have some changes to our student roster. Liam, Alix, Kim, and Ivan have graduated and gone on to the next steps in their future. And Chloé will not be attending Francois Dupont anymore." Caline noticed that Sabrina held her head down. "These departures leave some empty seats in our class. As such, we have some new faces joining us. I'd like you all to give a kind welcome to Marc Anciel, who is joining us from Miss Turner's class." The students turned to where Liam used to sit and some clapped for Marc, who awkwardly smiled and waved. "The next new student has had some history here. I hope you all help her feel welcome. Krystal, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Miss Bustier," Krystal Terrence answered, sitting next to Mylène. "I just hope the same can be said for Callum."

"I'm sure he'll do fine. Principal Damocles was convinced to let him finish his studies. If he sticks at it, he'll excel! Now, students, I'm looking forward to hearing what you all have planned for this special day. So, shall we start with... Adrien? I've heard you have something inspiring in mind."

Adrien stood up. "It's not just me, Miss Bustier. Nathaniel, Marc, Nino, Juleka, Rose, Alya, Mylène, Kagami, Marinette. We've worked with the movie director Thomas Astruc to create a prequel to his animated Ladybug and Cat Noir movie with all our salaries going to multiple charities." The people that Adrien didn't mention began clapping. "And although they're not here, I have to give Liam and Alix a mention. Liam provided the funds for the movie, and Alix recorded lines for a character in the movie." People began clapping until they were stopped by someone tapping on the window. Everyone almost jumped back in shock.

"Dupain-Cheng!" Chloé said behind the glass playfully. "Rejeter won't be needed anymore! And neither will you!" Chloé then showed off the hair comb she stole from Fu, putting it in her hair. From it, emerged a yellow kwami that was 10 centimetres tall. Three curved stripes wrapped around her head and each stripe grew smaller as it ascended up her forehead. Her small stinger, visible at the rear, also had stripes. Her antennae, arms, and feet were black, while her eyes were golden with blue sclerae. She had a row of white upper teeth, and she had black eyelashes. A small light yellow tuft was located below her head and around her neck, with a small area reaching onto her stomach.

"How may I please you, my queen?" The kwami asked.

"POLLEN, BUZZ ON!" The criminal commanded. Everyone gasped.

"Has she got a Miraculous?!" Krystal asked. "You didn't give her that, did you, Marinette?"

Chloé's transformation began. Once it finished, she was wearing a yellow and black domino mask. Her hair was back in a ponytail which was curled to resemble a bee's stinger at the ends, tied with a black hairband, with two black antennae-like ribbons sticking out from the hairband, and a streak of black hair curled into her ponytail. The Bee Miraculous comb was placed in the upper right side of her head next to the hairband. Her yellow costume was made up of many tiny hexagonal patterns to resemble a honeycomb with three black stripes on her torso and two on the upper thigh. Her upper rib cage was covered by black. The sleeves of the costume were also black, which ended in gloves with yellow fingers. Her black boots went down the length of her lower legs, starting directly below the second stripe on her thigh, and ending with yellow wedges. Her weapon was the spinning top tied around her waist. The new 'superhero' jumped up onto the roof of the school. "I am Chloé Bourgeois!" She called out, attracting the rest of the school. Damocles, dressed as The Owl, walked out of his office to see the commotion. "From now on, I'LL be your new superhero: Queen Bee! I'll show those Rejeters how it's done!" Queen Bee threw her spinning top towards the entrance. "Spinning top!" The string pulled her forward just as someone was about to walk through the doors, knocking them to the floor. It was a woman, who was screaming in agony, some students went over to help her.

"Rose!" The woman called out. "Ro- ARGH!" The woman felt her swollen stomach.

"MOM!" Rose screamed as she ran down the stairs to her mother. "Mom!" Rose kneeled down.

"Rose..." Rose's mother said whilst trying to breathe. "The baby..."

Damocles made his way through the crowd of students. "Out of the way." Damocles eventually reached Rose and her mother. "Everyone back to class! Except you, Rose." Damocles kneeled down. "Rose, call an ambulance!" At that moment, The Hornet could be seen flying above them. "Liam, be careful!" He called out and saw Ladybug and Cat Noir running out of the school. "Marinette! Adrien! You're still on school time!"


Queen Bee landed on the Roue de Paris, looking at the crowded streets. "Seriously?!" She said. "All these people and NO ONE'S causing trouble?" As she observed the streets, she noticed the metro entrance. "You want it done right..." She flicked her hair. "…you have to do it yourself." Queen Bee took her spinning top apart to use as a phone. "Nadja Chamack? This is Chloé Bourge- I mean, Queen Bee! Come ASAP; I'm about to rescue the passengers of a metro that's in peril. You've got to film this!" Queen Bee put her spinning top back together and saw The Hornet coming at her. "I'll show you, Rejeter!" Queen Bee swung down into the metro and jumped on top of the departing train.

On the train, a sweet old woman was sat on a seat next to Liam Rejeter's sister, Dana. She was wearing a yellow buttoned collar shirt with a tan trench coat. She wears a yellow brooch with the Chinese symbol of love on it. "You seem quiet, Dana..." She asked the girl.

"I'm just... still processing, Zumu," Dana replied.

"Dana, I know it's difficult but you can call me Marianne."

"I know..." Dana started to nod off.

"Dana!" Dana was woken up by Kayla Hernandez, wearing her blue leather jacket, grey shirt, black leggings, and loafers. "Next stop's ours."

"Uh... Okay." Dana went to stand up when she heard thudding and saw Queen Bee running on the side of the train. "What the-?"


In the driver's cab, Queen Bee broke the side window to get in. "VENOM!" She called out as she grabbed her spinning top and jabbed it into the train driver's arm. The driver fell to the floor, paralyzed in a sitting position and his hand tightly gripping the train's accelerator. The train began building up speed as it passed the station. Dana and Kayla watched the station dash past them. Then, the monitors on the train showed Queen Bee's face. "Hello, everyone! Queen Bee here! You have nothing to fear when I'm on the case! You can thank me later!" Queen Bee climbed out of the cab and jumped in front of the cab to try and stop the train.

Meanwhile, Nadja Chamack and her cameraman had gone down into the station that the train would pass next. On the other side of the station, Ladybug and Cat Noir were waiting. "Ladybug, Cat Noir?" She asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Waiting for the next train!" Cat Noir said jokingly. As the lights from the train came closer and closer, they both jumped on top of it when it passed by. They charged to the front of the train, followed by The Hornet flying over the other track. "Need a helping paw?" Cat Noir asked.

"Stop staring, Adrikins!" Queen Bee shouted. "Can't you see you're distracting me?"

"Cat Noir, try and slow it down from the front!" Ladybug ordered. "I'll take the back! Hornet, go into the carriages and find the emergency brakes. We need to slow it first or the passengers could get hurt!"

"On it!" The Hornet replied and tried to open one of the doors to get on board. He quickly shut the doors as he got on board. "Stay calm, everyone. We'll stop this train."

"What's your plan?" A passenger asked.

"We're gonna slow the train down and then stop it completely. Where's the emergency brake?" Passengers pointed at a red lever on the wall at the front of the carriage. The Hornet walked over to it as Ladybug's yo-yo wrapped around the outside of the preceding carriage. "Hold on, everyone!" Everyone braced themselves and The Hornet slammed on the emergency brake, sending him forward and crashing his head into the wall. The train began to slow as it neared another station. Cat Noir threw his staff at the next tunnel and the train, slowing down, hit it, stopping it completely and the wheels sparking. Eventually, Queen Bee's Venom wore off and the driver put the lever he had gripped back into the spot to stop the wheels from spinning. Cat Noir retrieved his staff before a train on the other track could hit it. The Hornet opened the passenger doors onto the platform and people began walking out, some falling to their knees from the shock. The Hornet kept going through to carriages until everyone was off.

"Your welcome!" Queen Bee said positively. "It was nothing! I was mere-!"

"Bourgeois!" The Hornet shouted out, aggressively whilst rubbing his forehead. "What did you do?!"

"Oh, it was a team effort, Liam. Adrikins and I stopped the train as it reached the station. OH!" Queen Bee turned to Cat Noir and put her hands together in a sleeping position. "How amazing is this?!" Queen Bee put her arms around Cat Noir. "We're a team now, Adrikins!"

Cat Noir groaned and shoved Queen Bee away. "You started this whole thing, Chloé! You used your power to create the situation to make yourself look good!"

"Oh, who cares?! We saved them, didn't we?!"

"No, Ladybug, Hornet and I saved them! If we hadn't chased you down here and this train kept speeding up, it would've crashed and killed people!" Cat Noir held his hand out. "And I KNOW you weren't given that Miraculous, so give it here!"

Queen Bee put her hands firmly on the Miraculous. "Finders keepers, losers weepers!" At that moment, Ladybug wrapped her yo-yo around Queen Bee so that Cat Noir could remove the Miraculous, changing Queen Bee back into Chloé. Cat Noir gave the Miraculous to The Hornet.

"I'll take this back where she got it," The Hornet explained his plan. "Then we'll have to take all of them somewhere else. That place isn't safe anymore." The Hornet flicked his wrist and his Buzzkill ability activated. He pressed his hand on Chloé's shoulder, paralyzing her. "Wreckless endangerment, theft, assault... A judge is going to have a field day with you." The Hornet ran up the stairs out of the station as Roger walked down. "She's all yours, Lieutenant." Roger continued down the stairs, put Chloé in handcuffs and placed her in his police car. As everyone made their way back up to the street, Audrey Bourgeois arrived in Gabriel Agreste's limousine and dashed out of the vehicle like a raging bull. "Don't even think about it, Audrey! She's going to prison!"

Audrey tried to hit The Hornet with a right hook but he dodged it and flew off. "Don't think you've won, Liam Rejeter! I put you in your place once, don't think I won't do it again!"

"I'm sorry..." Maria said as she caught up to the Queen of Fashion. "You put him in his place?"

"I wasn't going to let him get away with trying to murder my daughter! Now, where is my daughter?!" At that moment, Ladybug and Cat Noir emerged from the subway with a paralyzed Chloé. "Claudine! Uh, Chloé!"

"She's not getting out this time!" Ladybug said angrily. "I'll guard her myself if I have to!"

"You let her go, NOW!" Audrey tried to snatch Chloé out of the heroes' hands but Roger pulled her arms behind her back and slapped the cuffs on her as well. "What are you doing?!"

"Audrey Bourgeois, you are under arrest for assault and fraud. The assault stems from the suspicion of you paying a group of thugs to beat up Liam Michael Thomas Rejeter, leaving him with memory loss and brain have the right to notify a relative and/or an employer, you have the right to notify consular authorities if you are a foreign national, you have the right to be examined by a doctor if you feel you should need to be, you have the right to an attorney, the right to an interpreter if needed, the right to see, within the best possible timeframe, certain documents on the procedure against you, the right make statements to the public prosecutor and/or the magistrate deciding on your continued custody, and the right to either make statements, answer questions, or remain silent. You will be held in custody for approximately twenty-four hours when you will be either charged or released. Do you understand the rights that I have read to you?"

"Release me NOW!" Audrey struggled but Roger got forced her into the back of his car. Ladybug and Cat Noir placed Chloé into the car next to Audrey. "Do you know who I am?!" Roger got in the driver's seat.

"With Chloé paralyzed, it's going to be hard to charge her for this since she can't say if she understands her rights. Even if she's found guilty of all her previous crimes, her father's still got clout in this city."

"We'll be here to make sure things go right..." Ladybug replied.

"Paris thanks you for your service, Ladybug and Cat Noir. Now, try and enjoy today, it's all about you, after all." Roger drove off to the precinct.

Ladybug and Cat Noir waved as he drove. "Feel like having lunch with me?" Cat Noir asked Ladybug.

"We were going to anyway..." Ladybug said as she walked in the opposite direction that Roger's car went. "...At school. First, we gotta check on the master." Ladybug swung her yo-yo and headed off...
