Chapter 1: The Blizzard

Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie:

Marinette had just finished eating breakfast in the bakery, after disposing her waste she kissed her mother and father goodbye and headed to school. When she arrived at Collège Françoise Dupont, she saw a white limo pull up to the building. She watched as her crush, Adrien Agreste, stepped out and entered the school. The girl sighed as her eyes followed him, but then jumped when her best friend, Alya, grabbed her by the shoulders.

"O-M-G, girl did you hear the news?!" She asked excitedly, after recovering from her mini heart attack, Marinette responded. "What news?"

"We're getting a new student!"

The dark-haired teen was confused at why such news would get her so hyper. "Not to sound rude or anything, but why is that such a big deal? We get a new student like every other month..."

Alya just grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward their first class, "Not one like this! C'mon, you'll see when we get to class!"

As the two got to class, they saw Miss Bustier standing in the front of the room. "Good morning everyone, I'm sure most of you know that we'll be getting a new student. What you'll be excited to know, is that much like our own, Adrien Agreste, he's in the modeling business."

An excited murmur spread across the classroom; Marinette gasped slightly as she took her seat. Alya's elation only grew with the new information, "Did you hear that, he's a model too! Ahhhhh I bet he's totally hot!" The dark-skinned girl shook her friend happily. Nino turned and raised a brow at his girlfriend, hearing her, "Uh what was that?"

"Of course, I doubt he'll be more attractive than you, cutie!" Alya reassured, winking at him, he chuckled.

"And..." The teacher continued, "He happens to be friends with Adrien and has been since they were little. Now he will be arriving here shortly, so until then, you are free to speak freely amongst yourselves."

The room erupted with chatter of the new student, Alya leaned forward to Adrien, "Hey so when do think he'll get here?"

The blonde shrugged his shoulders, "I mean, I wouldn't wait on him for too long, he tends to be a little...late."

At that moment, camera flashes could be seen from the other side of the door followed by numerous pleading voices. The entire class stopped talking and looked at the door simultaneously, they held their breaths as they watched the doorknob turn.

The door opened as a teenage boy struggled to fight his way in through paparazzi, Miss Bustier greeted him and brought him to the front of the room. Marinette glanced over at Alya, who's hand was draped over her mouth in shock, an expression she shared with most of the girls in the class.

"Class, this is our new student, Mr. Jackson Gel." She gestured to the slightly tanned skinned male who wore a blue tee-shirt over a white long-sleeved shirt and jeans. He also wore a light blue beanie over his messy blonde hair, black fingerless gloves, and grey sneakers. Adrien got up from his seat to welcome his friend, "Long time no see, Jack!"

"Man, it's been a while, Ade!"

Alya looked like she was about to explode, "I can't believe Adrien is friends with Jackson freakin' Gel!"

Marinette sat in her seat agape, "Jackson Gel?! The son of Justin Gel, the number one winter clothing fashion designer?!"

Her best friend leaned towards her, "I hear he can turn anything into a fashion trend, even a piece of trash."

They watched as the new student sat in his seat in front of them, as he set his bag on the floor, both girls caught his eye. So, he turned and shot up a peace sign and winked at both Marinette and Alya.

"Oh my gosh, he just winked at us! Marinette, he winked at us!"

The dark-haired girl flushed red, quickly averted her eyes and pulled out her homework.

After school:

"Oh my god! I can't believe we're in the presence of the son of Justin Gel!" Alya gushed for the tenth time in a row. "And don't act like I didn't see you get flustered when he winked at you. First, it's Adrien, then it's Luka, and now its him!"

"I-I don't know what you mean…I only have eyes for Adrien, you know that." Marinette stated trying to sound convincing.

Her best friend gave her a skeptical look and then smiled, "Hey, isn't that Chloe walking towards Jackson right now?"

The fair-skinned teen giggled, "Nice try, Alya. You can't get me with that trick again. Besides, that's Lila, not Chloe- LILA?!"

The lying girl was seen making her way over to the two models with a devious smirk, Marinette grabbed Alya's arm and pulled her closer to where she was to get within earshot. "I wonder what lies she's gonna try to tell him."

"I'm sure you mean Adrien, right?"

"Oh Hush!"

Just as they got close enough, they could hear Lila, "So, I hear you're a model like Adrien, I happen to be a model as well. If you ever need a female partner for a photoshoot, here's my number. My name is Lila Rossi, and I'd really love to work with you!"

"Oh wow, who do you model for?"

"The Achu Royal Modelling agency of course, I've been with them for years, you haven't heard of them?"

"Well my family is friends with the Achu Royal family, and they haven't mentioned having a modelling agency." Jack stated, furrowing his brow.

Adrien frowned at the brown-haired girl, "Lila you're not lying, are you?"

Lila opened her mouth to say something, but Jack spoke first, "Adrien don't worry about it, she's obviously a fan and she probably just wants to make a good first impression." He turned to her, "Hey, Lila was it? I get you wanna be friends and all, but you don't have to lie to me, just be yourself."

"Of course, I'm so sorry it won't happen again."

"Thank you" he smiled, just as his ride pulled up. Both models waved and got in the car and left, Lila scoffed and stormed off.

"She'll never stop lying…" Marinette sighed as she glared after her, Alya shook her head with a smirk. Suddenly she got a text from her older sister, "Oh shoot, I'm missing movie night with my sisters! We'll talk about this later, see ya girl!" she gave her friend a quick hug before running in the direction of her home.

Marinette waved and then began her own way home, Tikki poked her head out of her purse, "That Lila girl really gets on my nerves!"

"Mine too, Tikki. At least I have you and Alya to keep me sane…"

"I guess that make two of your crushes that she's flirted with." The Kwami giggled.

"Aw not you too!" Marinette buried her face in her hands and then added, "Is it that obvious?"

Tikki nodded and the pig-tailed teen groaned.

Hawk Moth's Lair:

Hawkmoth stood in the center of his lair, Mayura at his side, "I think we should pay our friend Lila Rossi a visit…"

"Are you sure about this sir?"

"Of course, she'll pull it off this time, and shell have help."

On an empty sidewalk:

Lila had almost made her way to her house when two beings landed right in front of her. She smiled evilly, "Hawkmoth…"

"Hello Ms. Rossi, Volpina's services are needed…"

"I'm ready…" She averted her attention to Mayura, "Who's she?"

"That is Mayura, she'll be giving you assistance with the use of her power."

Lila pulled her Fox necklace out of her bookbag and put it on, Hawkmoth opened the top of his staff and released an akuma onto it. The girl instantly morphed into her villainous alias of Volpina. The Peacock then handed her a bracelet, which she put on.

"What's this for?"

Mayura plucked a feather from her fan and placed it onto the piece of jewelry, she spoke, "Now enhance and hone your strongest emotion, ill take care of the rest."

Lila nodded and concentrated, and soon she was surrounded by seven other copies of her.

"Can't Ladybug and Cat noir just destroy the copies?"

"Not these ones, they're as real as you are, as long as you keep that bracelet intact."

"Can they make illusions as well?" the evil fox smirked.

"They can do everything you can do."

"I trust the eight of you will have no trouble getting those miraculous?" Hawkmoth quizzed.

The eight Volpinas replied simultaneously, "Yes Hawkmoth..."

The bakery:

"Ayla's right, you've gone boy crazy for Jackson Gel!" Tikki giggled as Marinette looked up a picture of the model.

"I haven't gone 'boy crazy', I don't even think of him that way, he's too macho, and who cares if he's got chiseled cheekbones…" She zoomed in on the picture with lovestruck eyes.

The Kwami crossed her tiny arms, "Rigggght."

"I mean look at him, he's nothing like him! Jackson is taller and more muscular a-and he has those stupid big blue eyes that you get lost in.." Tikki smirked at Marinette who hadn't realized what she had just said.

"Did you just hear the words that just came out of your mouth? You said you got lost in his big blue eyes."

The teen girl blushed, "I said they were stupid!"

"Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, Marinette..."

"Whatever", Marinette cleared the tab and switched over to the news.

"Don't be bemused it's just the news, I'm Nadja Chamack and I have breaking news! The villain known as Volpina has returned and has started havoc at the Eiffel Tower! She appears to have seven other accomplices that resemble her." The dark-haired teen gasped at what she'd just heard. She watched as the camera panned over to Volpina, who had her flute in her hand. "Come out Ladybug and Cat Noir, if you dare! I doubt you'll be able to keep your Miraculous' away from all eight of us!"

"Looks like Volpina is using her illusions to destroy the city!" Tikki stated with a worried tone.

"And there's no time to waste in taking her down! TIKKI SPOTS ON!"

After transforming into Ladybug, the heroine leapt up to the roof and swung over to the tower, she landed just as Cat Noir arrived next to her.

"Nice timing kitty, ready to take this fox down?"

"I'm always ready to fight alongside you, M'lady." The black cat chucked as they leapt into action.

Volpina saw the duo at the corner of her eye, "Well if it isn't the little insect and her annoying feline sidekick..."

"While I'm sure we're currently talking to a clone, I really don't appreciate being called annoying."

Ladybug stepped forward, "Give it up Volpina, we've already done this, you're never getting our miraculous!"

"Maybe not me, but maybe one of my other sisters will... " The villain gestured grandly as seven other Volpinas appeared and surrounded the heroic duo.

Cat Noir glanced around at them, "Nice try they're just illusions!" He spun his bo-staff and began swinging. He knocked three replicas into each other, expecting them to disappear. The cat and the bug were shocked to see them get back up and charge at them. The heroes readied themselves to fight back, "That's impossible! Her illusions aren't real, they can't fight back,"

"Apparently these ones can, M'lady. Hawkmoth must've upgraded her abilities."

At that moment all the foxes leapt into action, attacking them. Ladybug and her partner countered their attacks and then retreated up into the tower.

"You can't outrun us!"

"Hawkmoth has really outdone himself this time" Cat Noir said, fearful of what might happen next.

Ladybug observed as the squad of Volpinas climbed after them, then the bracelet caught her eye. "Don't give him too much credit, Kitty. He's clearly teamed up with Mayura again."

"How can you tell?"

"Look at that one right there, she's the only one wearing a bracelet. That's where the amok must be." She pointed to a duplicate below them. As she pointed that out, they failed to notice one that had snuck up beside them.

"I knew I forgot something..." She then held up her flute and formed a ball of energy that she threw down, creating a blinding flash.

The heroes blinked away the stars in their eyes and realized that every copy now had a bracelet.

"Which one is the original?" asked the blonde as he knocked back the villain.

Ladybug grabbed Cat Noir by the waist and used her yo-yo to grapple to the top of the tower.

"Time to find out! LUCKY CHARM!" the heroine called upon her power, and it conjured up a boomerang, which landed swiftly in her hands.

"Any ideas on what to do with that, Bugaboo?"

"Not from up here, we'd better get back on the ground!" The dark-haired hero grabbed him once again and swung down towards the pavement. Volpina threw her flute at the end of her yo-yo, dislodging it from the beam it was wrapped around. Ladybug dropped the lucky charm and she and Cat Noir fell three stories to the ground. The boomerang landed inches away from her, she anxiously crawled towards it. Before she could reach it, four foxes landed on her and held her down. Her partner, who'd landed on his back, groaned as he attempted to get up, he was quickly held down as well.

The cat opened his mouth to call on his cataclysm, but his mouth got covered by Volpina's hand.

"Nah ah… you're not going to spoil this again with that pesky cataclysm… now for those miraculous'…" She reached down and grabbed his ring and began pulling it off, the same was happening with Ladybug's earrings.

"Noooo!"

Just before their jewels were taken, two icy feathers knocked the villain's hands away.

"Ow! Who did that?!"

"That would be me…."

Volpina turned to see a tall male hero dressed in an outfit that was themed after a bluebird, he had blown back icy white and blue hair and wings; and he was floating inches above her.

"Who are you?"

"A bird you don't wanna mess with!" The new hero fired more feathers at the Akumatized teen, three of them leapt out of the way while the other five deflected with their flutes. This allowed Ladybug to break free and free Cat Noir, and he activated his power and grabbed the necklace of one of the clones. It disintegrated but nothing happened, "Wrong one kitty cat!"

They all fought back the numerous copies with great effort, the new hero called down to his allies, "Get behind me!"

The heroes hurried behind him as he glided to the ground, he then aimed and used his power.

"BLIZZARD!" With a huge flap of his wings, he created a snow flurry that enveloped the eight villains. As it cleared, they all were encased in ice, their jewelry conveniently exposed. Ladybug picked up her lucky charm and eyed the frozen fiends, "I know what to do with this now…" She reared back and threw the boomerang, hitting all of the necklaces, one releasing the akuma. As it returned it destroyed the bracelets, releasing the amok and destroying the clones. After catching the boomerang, Ladybug then purified the feather and butterfly.

"Miraculous Ladybug!"

The tiny bugs went around and fixed all the damage, returning everything back to normal, even Lila.

The duo walked up to their new partner, "Who are you?"

"A friend, you can call me Oiseau Bleu..."

"Well Oiseau Bleu, I'm glad you showed up when you did, because we were almost fox food."

"Well, no worries, I'll be showing up more often to you know, keep the fox out of your hen house."

The cat laughed, "I think we're gonna be good friends, you and I"

Ladybug approached Lila, who had pulled herself up from the concrete, "You ok Lila?"

"Ladybug? Oh no, I hope I didn't hurt anyone!"

"Luckily you didn't"

"I'm sorry I've caused all this trouble. It's all because I embarrassed myself at school today and I overreacted!" Lila whined.

"It's ok, next time just try not to overreact." The bug gave her a pat on the back, and she walked away hiding an angry scowl.

Ladybug returned her attention to the bird, "I have a question, Oiseau Bleu, what is your miraculous?"

"The miraculous of the bluebird, it grants me the power of snowstorms."

"I've never heard of the Bluebird miraculous. What kind jewelry does it possess?" the bug quizzed, skeptical.

"I mean, it's not really jewelry, but it's my gloves."

The other heroes glance down at his hands, one glove had a five feathers on it and one suddenly disappeared.

"Did Master Fu send you?"

Oiseau raised a brow, "I have no idea who that is, but he sounds cool."

Ladybug sighed, "Come with me then, you're going to have to give me your miraculous. It's too dangerous, Hawkmoth could find out who you are."

The bird frowned, "That is a no-can-do, Bugaboo. You don't need to worry about me, I'll make sure Hawkmoth doesn't find out about my identity." He then glided up into the sky.

"See you two later, I can't wait to work with you again." The hero flew away, Cat Noir yelled after him, "Hey, just to remind you, only I can call her that!"

Ladybug readied her yo-yo to go after him, but she was about to transform back. She let out a frustrated grunt, "Bye Kitty!"

The black cat waved, "Until we meet again, M'lady!" and then leapt away from building to building.

Hawkmoth's Lair:

Hawkmoth trembled with anger, "Dark wings fall…"

Mayura eyed Gabriel with a sad expression, "Fall my feathers…"

"This would've worked if that new hero hadn't showed up and ruined everything!"

"There's still hope sir, don't give up" Nathalie gently placed a hand on his back.

Agreste mansion:

Adrien walked up to Jack's room where he found him watching the news, "Hey Jack, I'm back did I miss anything?"

"Well while you were at your photo shoot, Paris gained a new hero."

"Really, Who?"

"I don't know his name yet, but he looks really cool." Jack rewound the footage to when the hero was on screen.

"He kinda looks like a bluebird…"

"How about Mr. Blue feathers." The blonde joked.

"Perfect. Hey, I'm going to go wash up, be right back." Jack left the room and walked into his bathroom. After shutting the door behind him, he took off his beanie and out flew a blue Kwami with slicked back feathers on its head.

"How was that for your first-time fighting crime?"

"It was awesome, so awesome! I'm glad that I found you- well no you found me...but whatever, I just can't wait to do that again, Rafale!" Jackson gave the Kwami a high five.

The bakery:

After transforming back, Marinette laid down and pulled out her phone to contact Master Fu. Tikki floated over her head, "Who are you calling Marinette?"

"Master Fu, there's a new hero in town and he wasn't in the spellbook."

The guardian answered, "Hello Marinette, is everything okay?"

"I don't know, but I need you to meet me at the park."

"Okay, I will, see you there!" Fu hangs up, and the girl make her way downstairs.

The park:

Marinette arrived at the park and found Master Fu waiting for her on a bench. She ran to him and sat down.

"Is everything okay, Marinette? What's going on?"

"Cat Noir and I were fighting Volpina today, and she almost got our miraculous, but she didn't because a new hero showed up.

The old man's eyes widened, "A new hero?"

"Yes, he had the Bluebird miraculous, but I've never even heard of it before. It wasn't even in the book."

Fu turned to her and pleaded, "Please tell me he gave it to you."

"No, he wouldn't give it to me…Wait you know about this miraculous?"

"Yes, it was kept in a different miracle box with other miraculous that I thought had been lost in a fire. Marinette, please if he won't give you the miraculous you must bring him to me! If he found that one that means the others could still be out there."

Marinette nodded, "I will, Master!"
