Marinette didn't let Scarlet Moth take her so easily. It was impossible for him and when he couldn't find her, that only made his anger and frustration worse. She had at least lost him when she had the chance despite of all of the scarlet fairies and goblins after her. The bluenette didn't have that silly cat around anymore, but she could at least attempt to transform when they could not see her and she could fight Scarlet Moth on her own. She managed to find a hiding spot that could help her. Silently, she said the few words to make herself become Ladybug.

Ladybug held her yo-yo in one hand. That hand was clutching it as best as she could. She realized she couldn't do this by herself. No, she can't loose hope now. She flew off in a different direction.

Scarlet Moth spotted her. "Ladybug? It's a pleasure to finally meet you, young superhero." he could easily tell her age just by looking at her. He had no idea that before him was Marinette. The girl he was looking for. He growled. "Give me your Miraculous!"

"Never!" she swung her yo-yo around at a rapid speed, ready for a fight. Though what she thought was going to be a one on one fight, it turned out to be nearly the whole fairies and some goblins that were also a scarlet color.

"Second thoughts, Ladybug?" he asked her and swung his staff around as if it was a baton.

She had a confident look on her face.

"Meet Rogue and Dark Carapace."

She knew who they were. Her best friends. Alya and Nino. She had heard those names before. When she was little they played fake miraculous and pretended to save the forest and woods from imaginary monsters. Alya was Rena Rogue and Nino was known as Carapace. She never thought she would see her friends like this. Marinette knew they were better than this.

Stepping forward by bringing Nino up in her arms, Alya had was unrecognizable. She was all scarlet. Except for her ears, tail, and part of her costume. Her costume that had color was also mixed with black and a dark orange. Rogue gave Ladybug a smug laugh and threw Dark Carapace at her.

Dark Carapace had special protection that made it impossible to put any actual damage on him. He was entirely scarlet too. It scared her.

This was unforgivable. She did remember that she could purify where ever these dragonflies were hiding. These objects were supposed to be easy to break. Right?

Ladybug dodged each attack thrown at her. Hand to hand combat was easy to block or dodge, but again, being able to hit Dark Carapace was nearly impossible. She decided to grab some vines, wrapping them around her two akumatized friends and led them to a tree where she picked up Rogue's flute and the removable shell from D Carapace and fled off with them, hiding them so it would take them a while to be away from her.

She had to protect all the innocent creatures in the Fairy Kingdom and the Dark Forest. Even if it would kill her. She made her way back to the castle. On her way there, she bumped into a familiar black cat.

They both fell to the ground with Chat Noir on top of her.

He gave her a wide smile and she pushed his head away from her's as if she was still mad. It was only playful. His cat ears lowered slightly as if they were real ears.

"I'll give you a kiss when this is all over. I promise." she blew him a kiss, getting up.

"Who are they?" he asked.

"My friends. When we were younger, we always played Miraculous. I'm not sure how they both came up with those names, but it was always nice." she didn't really remember anything though.

He set himself in front of her to protect her. "Well, I'm not letting them get near you!"

"Look out!" she pushed him to the side, seeing Rogue attack down at them both and Dark Carapace attacking from behind. She swung her yoyo around and gently elbowed Chat Noir to do an attack or something.

He attacked Rogue.

She managed to get the turtle shell shield away from Dark Carapace. When she had kicked it, a black dragonfly flew out. 'De-evilize the akuma.' she heard Tikki tell her telepathically. She opened her yoyo with a swipe to it. She captured the dragonfly, allowing her yoyo to purify the evil dragonfly. She didn't set it free exactly. "Find the akuma!"

He dodged her attacks the best her could, taking her on in the fight he had had with Ladybug before, but this time it was out of anger. He broke her flute, causing another black dragonfly to fly out of it, escaping the area.

She caught that one and let both of them free, causing the two victims to have a red transformation to have them to their normal selves.

"Ladybug? Oh, and who's your friend?" Alya asked teasingly. She didn't even know that she was being used for evil.

"There's no time to explain. You two need to go into hiding."

"But-"

"Go!" she gestured for Chat to follow her.

Alya and Nino went on their ways to get other help. Although, someone had escaped from the prison and there would be more additional help.
