Ever since Hawk Moth had captured the team, Paris had been in peril. Grayling, Reine Plume, and Phoenix had taken over the city completely, and the Ladybug, Black Cat, Fox, Bee and Turtle Miraculouses had been lost. The Miracle Box had been stolen, Fu imprisoned, and hopes dampened. The city was swarmed by butterflies, ready to akumatize anyone who dared oppose them. Stormy Weather and Pharaoh terrorized the city and protected the villains, and they were the most powerful akumatized villains of all time.
Mylene and Ivan dashed into the alley, as a huge swarm of butterflies flew by them. Mylene whimpered, as Ivan stood in front of her, ready to protect her no matter what. Mylene sat on the ground.
"We'll have to wait till the swarm flies far away." Ivan concluded, as he eyed the purple storm.
"I'm scared." Mylene mumbled, as Ivan gave her a protective hug.
"Don't worry Mylene, I'll protect you." Ivan reassured, much to Mylene's relief.
"Wait a second, what are those?" Mylene asked, pointing far across the alley to something on the floor.
Both of them ran towards it, and they soon reached the spot, as it was half-submerged by a murky puddle. Mylene reached inside and the grabbed the object, which was actually a pair of ruby red earrings, with five spots on each.
Alix grunted as she slid another chair towards the class door. Max stared blankly at the window, watching a singular white butterfly twitch, as he recollected the events of the past few days...
How Lila transformed into a superhero.
When the swarm of akumas burst through the window.
When the akumas took Marinette, Adrien, Alya, Chloe and Nino away.
How Lila took off.
How Grayling, a new supervillain, declared himself mayor of Paris.
"Hey Max, you need to focus on boarding up this door, so the akumas can't get in." Alix yelled, bringing him back to earth.
"Ah, yes, I just, er, drifted off." Max said as he picked up a chair, walking towards the door.
"Hey Max, have you ever seen one of these before?" Alix asked as she was looking underneath one of the desks.
"One of what?" Max inquired, as he dropped the chair in front of another desk.
"One of these." Alix said as she held up a green bracelet in the air.
"You'll never find our Miraculouses." Marinette grunted, as Grayling turned towards her, a maniacal smile on his face.
"I've already searched the right side of the Seine, it's only a matter of time till I find them." Grayling replied, as he grasped another butterfly, corrupting it.
"Fly away, creature of the dark, and find those Miraculouses!" he hollered, as the akuma fluttered out the window, multiplying as it went.
