"What happened?" Adrien suddenly asked.

Marinette looked down and saw him slightly lower on the staircase. He was facing her as if he had come up to meet her on the stairs. She sighed and said, "I have a feeling that whatever it was had to do with-"

"Ha! Serves her right!" Chloe boasted loudly.

"-Chloe…" Marinette finished sadly.

Adrien turned and moved towards Chloe, the rest of them following suit. "What did you do this time Chloe?" He demanded. She leaned on his shoulder and whined in her fake sweet voice, "You're not mad at me, are you Adrikins?"

He shrugged her off and stepped back before he asked again, "That depends, what did you do Chloe?"

She looked around at her assembled classmates, a brief look of surprise crossed her face. "Uh, don't look at me like I'm the bad guy." She chastised. "All I did was get her teaching licence suspended," She put her hand on her forehead dramatically, "for abusing a student."

All her classmates around her gaped as she stood with her arms crossed proudly. Marinette gasped in horror, finally understanding what she had seen.

"Oh no! Ms. Mendeleiev!" Marinette cried. Adrien gave her a determined look that she didn't quite understand before they turned to ascended the stairs once again. Alya and Nino followed them up towards the entrance to the teachers' lounge. They heard a bang as they arrived at the door.

Marinette knocked hesitantly, and she asked "Ms. Mendeleiev? Are you in there? We wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Oh, Come on. We don't want her to be akumatized." Alya said, moving forward and grabbing the doorknob. "Hold on Alya," Nino said as he moved to grab her wrist. "That the teachers' room, we can't just go in there."

Inside the teachers' lounge.

Ms. Mendeleiev sat at the table with her head propped up on her elbow. She sighed bitterly and took off her glasses to rub her eyes in frustration. "That girl seriously needs to learn some respect," she said to herself sadly.

Movement in the corner of her eye made her turn her head, an enchanting black and purple butterfly fell through the open window like tissue paper and flitted over to her. She watched it approach, standing quickly and knocking the chair over in alarm as it landed on the arm of her glasses. The butterfly disappeared and a dark purple energy consumed the spectacles, making them a solid deep purple

Her emotions suddenly overwhelmed her. She glanced up as an ethereal voice began to echo in her mind, the outline of a butterfly floating over her face and emitting a dull purple light over her features.

"Preceptor, I am Hawkmoth. Some students just do whatever they want, so disrespectful. But you always know what's best. I will grant you the ability to make sure your students behave, and all I want in return are Ladybug and Cat Noir's miraculous."

"Alright, but we play by my rules." She replied with a smirk.

With that she replaced her glasses, a deep purple energy began fed off of them and consume her body.

Alya sighed and smacked his hand away, "Don't you think this is a little more important? Chloe just ruined this woman's career," She argued. "Besides, those two have already gotten in trouble today. How bad could it be?" She added with a smirk.

Before they could stop her she pulled the door open and they all froze. They had arrived just in time to see a figure of cloudy magic energy standing near the table. The magic flowed away, revealing what used to be their teacher.

She was in a dark blue full body villain jumpsuit with yellow eye symbols on her shoulders, elbows, knees and heels, and a large eye design on her forehead. Her hair was a bright cyan and came out in a tall spiked exaggerated version of her usual hairstyle. She tilted her head down to look at them over her bright yellow cat eye sunglasses.

"Ms. Mendeleiev?" Marinette asked hesitantly.

The villain scoffed at them, and without another word she leapt into the air and right over their heads. They rushed to the railing and watched her land in the courtyard, taking all the remaining students by surprise.

Several students gasped in alarm. By now many of them had come to recognise when an acuma was on the attack and several of them started to evacuate.

Before anything else happened Marinette decided to find somewhere she could transform. "Ugh, Chloe. Why is it always Chloe?' She wondered aloud. Adrien saw her run off and, smiling to himself ran off into the nearest empty classroom.

She rushed down the hall to the girls' washroom, entering and locking herself in a stall far from the entrance. Tikki flew out of her bag as soon as she opened it giving her an encouraging smile. "Aw give her a chance, you know she isn't as bad as she used to be," Tikki giggled. Marinette shook her head and replied, "Regardless, we still have to clean up her mess. Tikki, spots on!"

Meanwhile, Alya had her phone out and recording. Nino stood close to his girlfriend, watching her phone. "Nice, what do you think her name is gonna be?" He asked enthusiastically. "Quiet, I wanna put this on my blog, "She shushed him.

"Chloe," The teacher was saying, "You and I have some unfinished business to attend to."

"Um, I don't think so. My time is too valuable for me to be kidnapped again," She retorted. Chloe grabbed Sabrina's arm and manoeuvred her in between the teacher and herself.

But Sabrina abruptly turned around, her eyes glowing an unnatural indigo blue. "Chloe! That's rude, don't use me as a body shield!" she chastised. The blonde in question was greatly taken aback by Sabrina sticking up for herself.

"Whaa?" Chloe responded, dumbfounded. "You need to learn some respect and humility Chloe Bourgeois," Her teacher said. "I am Preceptor, and I am finally going to make you listen and shut up. All of you!"

With that, she began turning around as the eye on her forehead began to glow. Every student and bystander that was left in her field of vision relaxed as their eyes lit up in a deep blue. Everyone else finally took the initiative and began running out of the building.

Chloe, who was standing behind Sabrina, began to run as well. She dashed towards the front doors but felt someone pulling her. Attempting to throw them off without looking she swung her bag around as a weapon. However, the force of the person pulling her caused her to fall back before she could land a hit.

She glanced up to where Sabrina and Kim were standing over her, "Come on Chloe, the teacher wants to see you." Kim said to her.
