~The Present~

-Outside on the Parisian Streets-

Ladybug sat up, reeling in her knees, and instinctively reached for her earrings and let out a sigh.

"Aah, it was only a nightmare. There isn't anymore time to waste, I need to find the Dreamer and stop this!"

Buzz buzz*

Ladybugs' yo-yo/communicator informed her of an incoming call. She pressed to answer and held the devise close.

"Ladybug?! Are you there?! Are you alright!?"

Chat Noir's voice came loud and clear, Ladybug couldn't help but smirk at how frantic he sounded.

"Relax, Chat Noir, I'm fine. How about yourself?"

"I'm good", his voice came over the other side. "But something is up, the entire city is past our. I suspect that there's an akuma involved?"

"Right you are- She looked back into the hardwear store window and dozen of fuzzy screen TVs- and I think I know where to find it. Meet me at TVi studios and be on guard."

-TVi Studio-

The violet glow illuminated Dreamers face once more and Hawkmoth's voice echoed her mind.

"Now it's time to keep our promise. I'll allow you to keep you power if you bring my Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous."

Ladybug rounded the corner closer to TVi studios. All around she saw that citizens where fast asleep; at the café, the market, even on the sidewalk. She run and ducked inside the building and crept to the top floor and into the room of the main broadcasting room. Inside there were more camera crewmen asleep on the ground. Curled up and snoring away peacefully. She tiptoed to the next room and pressed against the wall. She could hear the Dreamer on the other side. A hundred yards away, just out of range.

"Gotcha! Now, where could that akuma be hiding?"

She peered over he edge of the wall just enough to make of the Dreamers position. She was fully fixated on one of the main cameras. Adjusting the lens and preparing for another broadcast of her evil powers.

"Ah! I'll bet it's in her eye mask. Now the question is how to get ahold of it?"

Ladybug crept along the sides of the wall inching closer to the Dreamers position. The set was a two layer platform, with a scenic background, a low table and chairs in one side, and a dozen of bright lights overhead. On the far left of the set was a huge widow that framed a breathtaking view from the sixth story.

"Ah-ha."

Ladybug flung her yo-yo upward catching it on the light fixtures over head and slid down till she was right over top of the Dreamer.

"Just gotta get that mask."

Ladybug warped her yo-yo around the base of the light fixture and lowered herself upside down. Hanging tightly to her yo-yo string and careful not to make a sound. She inched slid down six feet above the mask. Then four. Two...just a little more and it would be in arms length...

"Hmm?"

"Cataclysm!"

The studio deteriorated into ruins. Cement rubble, drywall, and installation piled the floor. On the other side of the doorway stood Chat Noir in his ironical Cataclysm-stance.

"Sorry for barging in, did you just wake up?"

"Chat Noir, the Dreamer grimaced, I've been expecting you. But where's Ladybug?"

"Oh, she's closer than you think."

Chat Noir gave a smirk. He reached around to grasp his staff in both hands and thrusted it menacingly at the Dreamer.

"Now, why don't you surrender now and I'll let you get back you your slumber party?"

"I don't think so!"

The Dreamers gaze locked into Chat Noir and a purple aura radiated. Chat's body instantly went limp and sank to the ground, curled up and snoozing away.

"Sweet dreams kitty. Now where is that bug?"

Ladybug tried to make a grab for the mask but it was too late. The Dreamer was all too aware of her position and ducked away just in time to evade. Ladybug dropped from the ceiling on to the studio set and faced the Dreamer yo-yo revved to go.

"Ah, Ladybug so nice of you to drop in. Perfect timing too, you have something that I want..."

The Dreamer extended her arm and a purple aura illuminated around her. All the negative energy that manifested from the akuma was seeping out in the air. The room felt heavy with the amount of evil energy resonating in it.

"Give up now."

"Not a chance."

Dreamers face and mask illuminated once more and Hawkmoths voice spat viciously, "Now's your chance, take her miraculous!"

Before Dreamer could initiate her attack Ladybug flung her yo-yo, grabbing ahold of the light sets, and pulled them down to glare right in Dreamers face. She shielded her masked eyes and projected a blast in Ladybugs direction. Ladybug flung her yo-yo out the window latching it across the street, grabbed ahold of Chat Noir, and propelled the two of the out the window and swinging through the streets. Dreamer recovered from the glaring lights and rushed forward after them a moment too late.

"Darts! Ladybug will pay for this, I'll get their miraculous if I have to put all of Paris to sleep!"

The Dreamer looked back at the snoozing camera crew. Their masks glistened and her voice beckoned. "Rise my Sleepwalkers and go after them!" The subconscious men rose to their feet, eyes hidden beneath masks, and still snoring slightly. The walked slothful with their arms held out in front like zombies and ventured outside the studio. "I want Ladybug and Chat Noirs Miraculous!"

The violet ripples erupted again from the Dreamers body in a evil aura.

Finally caught up to the present. This chapter was longer since I decided to combine two of them. Brace yourselves next chapter may be a little sensitive. Posting soon.
