Gabriel was beyond furious that the spellbook is missing and the cameras in the office were destroyed by the mysterious thief. First, he lost Nathalie that accused him of being insane and no longer assisting him in saving his wife, then his son disappeared 2 years ago because he didn't want to model with that liar, and now his book is stolen.

"This is the last straw! Whoever stole the book is gonna pay dearly!" He clenched his fist.

Noroo and Duusu did not say a word that their cruel owner is beyond insane.

"If this thief is in league with Ladybug and Cat Noir, I'll give them a challenge!" He turns to his two kwamis.

"Master don't do this!" Noroo begged.

"Duusu, Nooroo, unify!" He turns into Shadow Moth. He lets one butterfly into his palm and once akumatizing it, he allowed it to akumatize himself once he took off the miraculous. He once again became the Collector.

"I will find you Ladybug!" The Collector jumped out of his lair and went to go find them in the city, even if it means touching everything with his book.

Within the city, Adrien and Marinette in their disguises were going out from some store.

"I gotta say, Spanish food is to die for, princess. I've been self-taught with Spanish" Adrien said.

"Awesome, Gato," Marinette said.

"Come on, Spanish is wilder than French, princess. Hey, you hear that? Probably an akuma again. If it's Lila, I'm out" Adrien said.

"It's not Lila. It's the Collector" Marinette then saw the Collector.

"My father again. He really has some anger issues." Adrien said in frustration and hid in the alley with Marinette, "I swear, I did take out the cameras"

"I believe you but we should have used a decoy," Marinette said.

"Yeah, but we have to deal with him now. Plagg claws out!" Adrien transformed into Cat Noir.

"Tiki, spots on" Marinette transformed into Ladybug.

"Cat and mouse game?" Cat Noir asked his lady.

"Good idea, Kitty" Ladybug agreed.

"Hey! Over here!" Cat Noir showed himself, "Hey, Collector. It's been a while. Making illustrations in your book again? I like to see it" Cat Noir taunted him.

"Cat Noir! We meet again! Now hand over my book!" Collector demanded.

"What are you talking about? I'm a superhero, not a cat burglar. Sheesh, it's no wonder your son disappeared because you have anger issues" Cat Noir glared.

"You'll be another part of my collection!" Collector used his tablet.

"I've heard that before" Cat Noir rolled his eyes and threw cars at him. But Collector's projectiles absorb the cars into the tablet.

"Come on! We defeated you twice!" Ladybug appeared with her lucky charm, bow and arrows.

"Not this time, Ladybug!" Collector glared with hatred.

Ladybug shot the arrow that is tied with a rope and Cat Noir caught the arrow, "Let's wrap this up!" Cat Noir smirked.

"To the perfect present" Ladybug winks at him.

They went around him with the ropes and Ladybug kicked the tablet out of his hand, "Catch Kitty!" She tossed it to Cat Noir.

"Cataclysm!" He used the cataclysm on it to release the akuma, "Too easy" Cat Noir said.

"No more evilizing for you!" Ladybug caught the akuma to purify it, "Bye bye little butterfly" She sets it free, "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" She tossed the bow and arrows to repair the damage.

The Collector transformed back to Gabriel and the heroes took their leave since this man is too cold and strict. They don't know how his magical charm broke but it's not worth it to give him another.

"This isn't over yet Ladybug and Cat Noir," Gabriel said quietly to himself.

At their lair, they continue with the magic potion chemistry to create power-ups. If only Master Fu was here to help but sadly his memories are erased.

"Okay which one to begin with?" Adrien wondered.

"Let's see" Marinette turned page after page.

"I know a bit of Ancient Chinese but I can try," Adrien said.

"Okay" Marinette showed the aqua form page.

Adrien began to read the ingredients in Ancient Chinese, "Tear of joy, fish bone, frog's tongue, and sulfur" Adrien said.

"Okay. I got the ingredients here" Marinette takes them out.

"And frog's tongue? Gross. Remind me to never dissect a frog in biology class" Adrien shivered.

"I know, but we need a dead frog by then," Marinette said.

"Maybe or our cat might find one" Adrien said.

"Wouldn't hurt to try. While I work on the potion, you and Ladynoir go hunt dead little things" Marinette suggested.

"Sure thing, darling" Adrien teased with the last sentence.

"Just get going, kitty" Marinette chuckled.

"Plagg, claws out!" Adrien transformed into Cat Noir and whistled for Ladynoir.

"Meow" Ladynoir walks up to her kitty master and jumped up to his shoulder.

"Let's go hunting," Cat Noir said and got out the door.

Later outside, Cat Noir and Ladynoir snuck into a nearby park to find any frogs. It wasn't gonna be easy but his cat can smell prey.

"Alright, you go that way, I'll check the pond" Cat Noir gave his cat the directions.

"Meow" Ladynoir walks into the bushes while Cat Noir goes for the pond. He looked to find a dead frog but found none yet.

"Meow" Ladynoir came with a dead frog in her mouth.

"Good girl" Cat Noir pets her head proudly.

They quickly hide as a pair of civilians were on a walk during the night. They didn't notice the feline hero and his pet hiding.

"Let's go, my kitty" Cat Noir extends his staff and pole vaulted to the roof.

He opens the hatch and they both jumped in to get to Marinette, "That was too easy, milady" Cat Noir showed Ladynoir holding the dead frog.

"Gross but great job, my kitties. I got sulfur and fish bone. Tear of joy is easy but one of us needs to laugh extremely hard" Marinette said, stirring the potion.

"I have an idea. We'll watch something funny or maybe..." A devious grin appeared on his face.

"Don't you dare!" Marinette knew what this meant, putting the potion aside.

"Oh yes, tickle fight!" Cat Noir tickled Marinette hard, making her burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha! Stop! I can't breathe!" Marinette laughed too hard.

"Until you shed a happy tear" Cat Noir kept tickling her.

"Hahahahahahaha! Stop it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Marinette's happy tears came as she laughed.

"Good girl" Cat Noir used his claw finger to carefully catch the tear and bring it to the cauldron along with the frog's tongue and the tear of joy.

"Gosh, I haven't laughed so much in a while" Marinette panted.

"Bibbidi bobbidi boop!" Cat Noir drops the tongue and the tear of joy as it turns green, "You're welcome"

"Good job, Kitty" Marinette scratched his chin in gratitude.

He purred in happiness and nuzzled her hair, "My lovely princess"

"My lovely prince" Marinette smiled.

After an hour of creating potions from red to purple colors, they have to combine them into a food which they will have to put in the macaroons. Adrien had to convince Plagg to try macaroons since he doesn't have Camembert left.

"What's the difference?" Plagg asked.

"Different flavor but just as delicious. You're gonna love it" Adrien said.

"Camembert is my life!" Plagg complained.

"Well, macaroons are now your life. So deal with it in your nine lives" Adrien said.

"Aw come on!" Plagg pouted.

"You got to try something new Plagg" Adrien insisted.

"Alright fine, macaroons it is" Plagg gave up.
