Ladybug and Chat Noir were completely stunned by the scene that stood before them. They were completely overwhelmed and outnumbered by this army of monsters plus Hawk Moth, and now out of nowhere these five people appear and are ready to join the fight, transformed into heroes just like them. And in some pretty awesome outfits as well.

"Talk about awesome, that's definitely the cat's meow if I've ever seen it," said Chat Noir quietly to himself.

"All right Rangers, let's get them," said Jason in the middle as they all posed side by side ready to fight.

'HI YAH," all five Rangers say together.

Hawk Moth is suddenly quite intrigued by the arrival of the Power Rangers. Rita had described them when they first met but hadn't exactly provided visual explanations. Now that he's actually seeing them he is quite curious indeed to how their powers work. Rita on the other hand is absolutely furious that the Rangers have been able to follow her here.

"So these are the Power Rangers from your world that you mentioned?" said Hawk Moth to Rita calmly.

"AHHHHHHHHHH, PUTTIES ATTACK NOW!" Rita screamed not even bothering to answer Hawk Moth as all the putties advanced on the Rangers, who in turn charged at them ready to fight. She was far too blinded by fury to care about anything her new partner was saying.

"Rangers, spread out," said Jason as he launched a jump kick at the nearest putty, sending it toppling to the ground, blocking another's punch with his forearm before swinging his leg at it's shins which had it flipping through the air.

Kimberly and Billy were to the right taking four putties each while Zack and Trini were to his left doing the same. Each expertly maneuvering through the punches and kicks of the putties while taking them down in smooth fashion, never missing a step just like they've done so many times before.

Ladybug and Chat Noir have become rooted where they stand watching the Rangers fight the putties and are quite impressed with their great skills and fluid movements. While the two of them are great fighters themselves they were overwhelmed and unprepared for these strange creatures. But seeing the amazing fighting skills of the Rangers has them feeling hopeful again. However a small beep on their earrings and ring remind them that they're on a ticking clock. Looking at each other they silently realize the same thing, they need to retreat and recharge their kwamis.

Figuring and hoping the Rangers can hold their own long enough for them to recharge their kwami's strength they make to run for it, but before they can Goldar jumps at them blocking their path, kicking them both back into the action.

"You're not going anywhere you stupid kids, one way or another we will destroy all of you," said Goldar swinging his sword at Chat Noir, who blocks it with his staff. Chat Noir and Goldar trade a few blows with their weapons while Ladybug backflips next to Jason as he's still fighting off putties. Side stepping next to him she kicks a putty in the gut as he's blocking a swing from it's blade. As if reading her mind Jason then spins behind her and swings a mighty tornado kick right into the face of another putty that was closing in on her.

"Hey, I don't know who any of you are, but we've got a serious problem," said Ladybug swinging her yo-yo at a putty behind Jason. "Chat Noir and I are about to transform back to regular humans in less than two minutes, we need your help getting out of here before that happens," Ladybug pleads with Jason.

Jason nods towards her to indicate he understands as he flips another putty onto it's back.

"You got it friend. Ranger's, let's finish these putties and retreat," say's Jason chopping at the neck of one more.

Hawk Moth and Rita however are determined to prevent them from escaping.

"Don't let them get away, if they change back I'll finally know who they are, and defeating them will be child's play," Hawk Moth says eagerly. He's never been so close to victory over these two nuisances and he's not about to let them just run away. "Argh, monsters, attack now," he shouts to the two beings beside them.

Volgator (Amalgator & Volpina) and the superior putty now rush in towards the Rangers and Ladybug while Chat Noir was still in a fencing match with Goldar. Seeing them coming the Rangers draw their daggers and engage along with Ladybug. Volgator takes on Ladybug, Jason, and Trini while the superior putty engages with Billy, Zack, and Kimberly.

During all the scuffles Volgator seems to be very fixated on getting to Ladybug, swinging her flute sword at Jason and sending him flying backwards in a flash of sparks.

"Ladybug, there's no way I'm letting you get away from me," screamed Volgator in pure anger and rage. Volpina fusing with the Amalgator monster only seems to have amplified her anger and hatred towards Ladybug. Swinging her flute sword at her Ladybug is able to deflect it with her yo-yo. But she relentlessly keeps attacking. Trini tries to get a blow from behind but sensing her coming she spins around and swipes her flute sword at her chest and sends her flying back like Jason.

As Ladybug deflects all the blows from Volgator she looks for an opening to run, not having the luxury of time to defuse the monster's anger.

"You really need to consider therapy when this is all over Lila," said Ladybug sliding under her flute sword and using her yo-yo to trip Volgator onto her face in a huff.

Meanwhile Chat Noir hears his ring again and sneaks a look, seeing it down to the very last paw mark.

"Um, I don't suppose you'd be willing to take a break to scratch your butt would you, because it'd really help me out a lot," said Chat Noir in a witty tone as he connects his staff with Goldar's sword, both pushing into each other to try to overpower the other.

"Ahhh, make all the jokes you want child, it won't matter when I destroy you for good," said Goldar kicking Chat Noir in the gut sending him stumbling back a few steps.

Feeling his heart beat rise rapidly he deflects another swing of Goldar's sword and lets the adrenaline take over, jabbing his staff into Goldar's gut before swinging a jumping round house kick right against the side of his face, sending him rolling to the ground in a groan.

"Ladybug we need to run, I'm about to change back," Chat shouts desperately as the other six are locked in combat. Trini and Zack each take hits with sparks flying from their chests, landing right beside Chat but getting right back up.

"No worries buddy, we'll get you guys out of here," said Zack. "Really digging the suit by the way, you can never go wrong in black," he says giving Chat a little bro pat on the back.

Ladybug manages to bounce her yo-yo off Volgator's face which gives Jason an opening to swing his dagger at her, striking a good blow and sending her to the ground. Meanwhile Kimberly shows off her gymnastics skills with a good cartwheel and backflip over the superior putty's head, giving Billy the opening to swipe his dagger at the distracted monster and send it to the ground as well.

"Rangers, draw your blasters," said Jason as all five of them take their daggers and quickly flip them into their gun form. "FIRE," shouts Jason as all the rangers blast the monsters and send them backwards in a cloud of smoke and sparks.

Seeing their opportunity and down to seconds Ladybug and Chat Noir turn tail and flee as fast as they can, heading towards the ground from the top of the skyscraper as fast as they can looking for cover.

"There, in that alley," says Ladybug pointing as Chat Noir nods.

Landing in the alley they take separate sides of a big dumpster and just in the nick of time as their transformation falls. They both breathe a sigh of relief and also of exhaustion as Tikki and Plagg fall into their hands.

"That was...way too close," said Adrien completely out of breathe as he reaches for a piece of camembert from his pocket.

"Yeah, I don't think we've ever had a close call like that before," said Marinette grabbing a macaroon for Tikki. "We need to recharge fast though, I don't know how long those others will be good for," said Marinette falling onto her butt against the brick wall. They ran off so fast they didn't even look back to see if the Rangers were following them.

Back on top of the tower the villains are regaining their composure after being blasted by the Rangers. But by the time they get back up and the smoke clears there is nobody there as they were able to take off after Ladybug and Chat Noir.

"AHHHHHHH, I HATE THOSE POWER RANGERS!" screamed Rita in agony as she held her head, getting one of her signature headaches that they're always causing her.

Volgator in particular looked crazed with anger as she was barely moving but trembling with rage.

"LADYBUG," she roughly whispered to herself as she walked over the the edge of the tower looking down below, not seeing any sign of the red superhero anywhere. Gripping her flute sword very tightly she swung it right at a nearby power generator and destroyed it, sparks flying all over as it exploded.

"No need to worry my new friends, for they will be back and we still have the advantage over them," said Hawk Moth walking to the edge of the tower himself and looking down. "We just simply need to make them come back to us, which they will do once we begin causing all kinds of chaos. I know the perfect place to go to quickly draw their attention. They'll come as fast as they can once they hear that innocent civilians are in danger. Just follow me." As he finished speaking Hawk Moth jumped down from the tower heading in the direction of Paris's most famous landmark where countless people gather every day.

"Grrrrrr, this better work, Goldar if you fail me again you'll be sorry," said Rita as she changed into pure energy to follow after Hawk Moth, followed by all her minions, Volgator, and the supreme putty.

Just as they're catching their breathe Marinette and Adrien get a big surprise as the Power Rangers land in the alleyway right in front of them, making both of their faces lose all color as they freeze to the spot. They didn't expect they would keep up with them so easily, much less see them after they transform back into themselves.

"Hey, are you two ok, we saw where you landed and wanted to make sure you were good, thankfully everyone on the tower was too slow and couldn't follow us," said Jason, a little confused why they're not next to each other. "Um, why are you guys hiding from each other? And what are those little creatures in your hands," he asks tilting his head a little bit as the Rangers all put their daggers away.

"We...we don't know each other's secret identity, it's part of the rules of the Miraculous, which is what our jewels are and what gives us our powers," said Marinette hesitantly. She feels like she can trust them since they saved them both but is a little more hesitant with them seeing them both as civilians. But the cat is already out of the bag on that one unfortunately.

"Wait, so you two are partners, but you don't actually know who you are outside of your masks?" asks Kimberly pretty surprised, not expecting that at all.

"Well yeah, we always need to keep our identities a secret, even from each other, so Hawk Moth can't use that knowledge against us if he were to ever get the opportunity," said Chat Noir. Though he longs to know who his lady is he will always respect her wish as long as she deems it necessary.

"Huh, quite interesting, because we've known each other since before we became the Power Rangers, and Rita knows who we are too outside of our suits," said Billy scratching his chin.

Both Marinette and Adrien's eyes shoot open a bit hearing this.

"Wait, so your enemy knows your identities, but doesn't just attack you at your home or wherever you are, or the people you care about?" she asks astounded.

"Well we do get jumped by putties regularly and have been framed and such a few times," said Trini. "And there have been a few occasions where Rita tries to use someone we know as part of some plot, but in all actuality no she's never really taken full advantage of knowing who we are. Thankfully I don't think she's smart enough to do anything like that, plus she lives on the moon where we come from," gesturing towards the sky as she says this.

Hearing the moon causes Marinette and Adrien's eyes to open even wider.

"She lives on the MOON, SERIOUSLY?" says Adrien in complete shock. He also realizes they all know each other's identities, the exact opposite of his situation with Ladybug. "And you all actually know your identities?"

"Yeah, we've all been friends for a long time, but I guess the way we became the Power Rangers was a different situation than however you two became heroes," said Jason gesturing towards his friends. "But knowing each other the way we do makes us a much better team that can always look out for and help each other, whether we're morphed or just living our day to day lives."

Ladybug hears this and ponders it for a moment, comparing it to her own situation with Chat Noir. Could they maybe be better and stronger knowing each other's identities the way the Power Rangers do? Granted their situations were definitely different but at the end of the day not all that different. Maybe it was something to consider now that she's the guardian of the Miraculous.

All of a sudden an explosion is heard in the distance, causing everyone to snap out of their little trance and remember that there is still a city being attacked.

"I think we'll have to get better acquainted later, seems Rita and the others are looking for us," said Jason glancing in the direction of the explosion. "Are you two ready to go?" he asks looking at both of them.

Tikki and Plagg both finish swallowing their food and nod at their holders.

"Yup, I'm ready to go," said Tikki in her sweet and cheery voice.

"I'm good too but there better be an extra big wheel of camembert for me after all this is over," said Plagg in a huff.

"Buddy I promise you if we get out of this in one piece and save Paris I'll buy you five whole wheels of two year old camembert," said Adrien which had all five of the Rangers looking at him very puzzled, and a bit disgusted.

"Um, I'm sorry, but did we just hear you correctly?" Asked Zack holding his hands up in surprise.

"You did, my buddy here lives to eat moldy old cheese, and don't let his small size fool you, he's a bottomless pit," said Adrien standing up. "Okay m'lady, you ready to go?"

"You bet kitty, time to save Paris. TIKKI SPOTS ON, YEAH!" said Marinette

*Transformation sequence.

The Rangers look on as she becomes Ladybug and are quite impressed how different it is from their own transformations. As the transformation finishes Ladybug now stands before them in her bright red and black polka dot suit, giving the Rangers a little smile.

"That's really something, and you're outfit is so cute," said Kimberly watching Ladybug grab her yo-yo and start swinging it.

"Thanks, and my yo-yo here is the perfect accessory, it's quite versatile in battle," said Ladybug looking at the dumpster knowing Chat Noir is on the other side. "You ready to do this Kitty?"

"You got it m'lady, PLAGG, CLAWS OUT!" Said Adrien raising his right fist

*Transformation sequence.

Chat Noir now stands before the Rangers and pulls his staff, giving it a few quick twirls as both he and Ladybug step out from their respective sides of the dumpster.

"So quick introductions, I'm Ladybug and this is Chat Noir, and we're the protectors of Paris," said Ladybug.

All the Rangers give a polite wave to the heroes of Paris, this being the first time they've ever really encountered other heroes. All five of them are quite intrigued by their outfits and weapons and how their powers are somewhat similar to their own with a few key differences.

"I'm Jason, I'm Zack, Billy, Kimberly, Trini," each of the Rangers said individually raising their hand slightly as they did so.

"We're the Power Rangers, and as much as we'd love to talk to you about all this we'll have to save it for later, right now we've got a city to save," said Jason. "All right Rangers, let's go," he said as the Rangers all jump up above the building heading towards the source of the explosion, Ladybug and Chat Noir right behind them.

Using their teleporting powers the Rangers arrive on the top of a building overlooking the Champs de Mars and the Eiffel Tower. Ladybug and Chat Noir land next to them looking down and seeing Hawk Moth, Rita, and all the other monsters in the open area causing destruction as they wait for the heroes to arrive.

"I've wanted to see Paris basically my whole life, never thought this is the way I'd be seeing it," said Kimberly looking at the Eiffel Tower in awe, wishing she was here under different circumstances.

"All right, everyone ready, let's go get them," said Jason confidently. As Ladybug and Chat Noir launch themselves towards the villains the Rangers somersaulted off the roof down to them.

"Hi yah"

"Hi yah"

"Hi yah"

"Hi yah"

"Hi yah"

As all five Rangers land in line facing the villains Ladybug and Chat Noir land on opposite sides of Jason in the middle, the heroes and villains in a standoff facing each other.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha, you pesky Rangers won't get away this time, your time has come today," said Rita with her signature laugh while Goldar steps forward with his sword along with the superior putty and Volgator.

"Ahhhhhh yes, the time has come for me to finally finish all of you once and for all," said Goldar raising his sword.

"Ladybug, I swear today I will see the end of you and it will not be gentle," said Volgator angrily pointing her flute sword in her direction.

The superior putty, unable to speak, just raises it's fists and jumps a few times before taking a readying position.

Drawing their daggers back out while Ladybug swings her yo-yo and Chat Noir twirls his staff, the heroes and villains charge at each other ready for an all out brawl while Rita and Hawk Moth look on with confident smirks on their faces.
