Adrien first hear the screaming from the kitchen. He raced to the living room to see Plagg curled in a ball on the coffee table, holding his head, screaming.

"Plagg! What's wrong?" He asked, not sure Plagg could hear him over his screams. He scooped the kwami into his hands. "Plagg? Plagg!"

As quickly as it started, Plagg stopped. The kwami sat up in his hand.

"Adrien?" he asked. "Wh...what just happened?"

"I don't know man! I heard screaming so I ran in here and found you curled in a ball. Are you ok?" The kwami floated out of his hands and looked around the room.

"I'm...I'm not sure. I felt like I was being ripped in two for a sec, but now it's gone."

"I should call Master Fu." Adrien reached in his pocket to get out his cellphone.

"No," Plagg argued. He had a strange look on his face as he said it. "Call Marinette. I need to talk to Tikki." Adrien hesitated, not sure what the right thing to do was, but the kwami looked glared at him. "I need to talk to Tikki! NOW!"

Adrien quickly started calling Marinette, but just as the phone started ringing, there was a knock at the door.

Of course, he thought, They were already coming over for dinner!

Adrien had moved into his small apartment right after he turned eighteen, which was a couple of months ago. Marinette and Tikki were naturally frequent dinner guests. Adrien walked towards the door and quickly opened the door. A ball of red flashed past his eyes as Tikki came barreling in. Marinette had a worried expression on her face.

"Tikki said…" she started.

"Yeah, something's up. Come on in." Adrien shut the door behind then. Tikki was next to Plagg, both of them now staring out the window. Words were being exchanged in a language Adrien didn't recognize.

"Um...so...what's going on?" Marinette asked glancing between Adrien and the kwamis.

"I don't know. Plagg started screaming for a sec, but then he was fine. Now he's acting weird."

"He was screaming? Like...in pain?"

"Yeah...he said he felt like he was being ripped in two." The kwamis were looking at them now.

"Plagg? Tikki?" Marinette asked, clearly just as worried as he was.

"It's...hard to explain Marinette." Tikki answered, "We aren't even sure…"

"Tikki, if you have any idea what's going on, please tell us. We are both really worried for you guys." The kwamis exchanged a look. Adrien didn't think they were going to tell them anything, but Tikki surprised him by nodding.

"I can't explain the pain I felt," Plagg started, "But immediately after I sensed a presence that I hadn't felt...well...for a few thousand years. I thought I was going crazy, but Tikki senses it too."

"Presence?" Adrien asked, "What kind of presence."

"A powerful one," Tikki answered, "There are certain kinds of people that have a strong connection with the kwami."

"But, like I said, there hasn't been one in forever." Plagg added.

"So, you are both sensing...a person." Marinette said as a clarification.

"Yes," Tikki answered, "When a person like this is born, we kwami feel it instantly, but the baby's power isn't very strong. Not like it is as they get older."

"But tonight…" Plagg added, glancing out the window. "Something is wrong."

"Well, I don't like the sound of that." Adrien stated, "But if we are talking about a baby here…"

"That's just it, Adrien!" Tikki said, cutting him off. "This isn't a baby!"

"But you just said that you…" he started.

"Adrien," Marinette laid a hand on his arm. He hadn't realized how tense his body was getting. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"We have never felt this presence before, but it is definitely not that of a newborn child." Plagg explained. "That's what's so weird. It's like they were born fully…"

Plagg flinched and instantly stopped talking. He looked at Tikki and flinched again. "She's calling." he told her simply.

"Calling?" Marinette asked.

"These persons have the ability to communicate with kwamis over a great distance." Tikki reached out and held Plagg's hand as he flinched again. "Right now, she's trying to talk to Plagg. Can you hold her off?"

"I think so," he answered in a strained voice. "But I think we should answer. We might be able to figure out what is going on." He flinched again.

"Does it hurt, Plagg?" Adrien asked, worried for his friend, but the kwami shook his head.

"It takes concentration to ignore a call." Tikki explained. "But it could also be a trap, Plagg."

"I don't think we have a choice, sugar cube." Plag countered. "Besides, it's just a call. If she really wanted to harm me, I think she would have tried summoning me by now." The kwami flinched again.

"If whoever this is can't hurt Plagg, then I saw we answer." Adrien said, not wanting Plagg to be hurt, but desperately wanting to get to the bottom of whatever was going on. He looked at Marinette who nodded in agreement. Then he looked back at the two kwami. Tikki frowned, obviously worried, but the she sighed.

"Alright, but answer so that we can all hear." she said, looking at Plagg. He nodded and then relaxed his body.
