The next day, Marinette felt so tired from spying on Adrien last night. So far, nothing to report on why he's been acting strange. Except he nearly flinched at the shower like he didn't like the water. Was it too hot or was it too cold? What's also strange is that he's been talking to himself.
"Ugh! Maybe I'm just being paranoid, Tikki. Maybe it's just the cravings he's been going through" Marinette said, her hair messy from doing the chart of her theories and facts about Adrien.
"Well it's nothing unusual then," Tikki said.
"Well, let's hope he's feeling better today," Marinette said.

At the Parc des Princes stadium, classmates noticed a few changes in Adrien. He was a bit faster than Kim while scoring a goal with the soccer ball.
"Whoa! I feel faster" Adrien thought.
He kicked the soccer ball right to the goal, "YES!" He cheered with a clenched fist.
Kim was astonished how Adrien got so fast, "But how?"
"Uhhhh…..I have no idea" Adrien said awkwardly that he didn't know he went so fast.
"You went so fast like a cheetah" Kim said.
"I guess all that eating yesterday made me strong" Adrien guessed.
"Kind of like a protein overdose" Kim joked.
"Enough Kim!" Adrien was not amused and his fingernails briefly became sharp like claws.
"Sorry Adrien" Kim apologized, without noticing the claw-like nails.
"Apology accepted, Kim," Adrien said and his fingernails turn normal.
"Dude, simmer down. He was just joking around" Nino said.
"Yesterday was embarrassing," Adrien said.
"We are not judging you. Now let's go before class is over. We gotta get back to the school" Nino said.
"Very well then" Adrien goes with the others to the changing room.

Back at school from the stadium, an akumatized teacher has been akumatized into Zombizou again, spreading black lipstick kisses on students to get infected like zombies and go infect others with kisses.
Marinette ran to a hiding spot to transform into Ladybug to handle the situation. Just then Adrien and some non-infected students saw Ladybug fight Zombizou.
"Everyone run!" Adrien told the others just as Zombizou blew a black kiss at him but it for some reason didn't affect him, "What?!" He said but didn't have time to react as he hid in the boiler room. Luckily Ladybug didn't see him getting hit.
"Plagg CLAWS OUT!" He transformed into Cat Noir and came out but was surrounded by kissy zombies, "Back off! Only my Ladybug gets to kiss me!" He whacked them with his staff.
"Right on time, Kitty!" Ladybug landed near him.
"Save the kisses for later, milady. This feels like a zombie apocalypse again like last time!" He whacked another, "Chloe really had to be a spoiled brat to Miss Bustier again. Does she ever learn to not let history repeat itself?!"
"Apparently not. She never learns" Ladybug said.
"Of course, she never learns! You're all alone now and give me your miraculous!" Zombizou cackled.
"Our miraculous are pretty attached. Pun intended because we can't detach like real zombies" Cat Noir smirked.
"Then fight for your lives!" Zombizou shouted.
"You first!" Cat Noir jumped on her shoulders and spun his body around to her waist and to her neck to wrap his legs around it, making her fall with him.
"Sorry, but the makeover is over, Miss Bustier." Cat Noir grabbed the akumatized lipstick and tossed it to his lady.
"Time to de-evilize!" She released and caught the akuma and purified it, "Bye-bye little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" She repaired all the damage and restored everyone to normal.
"Pound it!" They fistbump.

Adrien came home with a shocked reaction at why he didn't get turned into a kissy zombie. He didn't understand. Was he lucky or was he immune to it? He then got startled by his father with an angry look.
"Adrien!" He spoke out.
"What is it now, dad?" Adrien asked.
"Nathalie informed me yesterday that you did not study your Chinese yesterday. That's no excuse to be tired from school!" Gabriel yelled at him.
Adrien can feel something inside like he's having a fever. He was sweating a lot but it's not even hot inside the house. It almost felt like he wanted to rip his father apart.
"Excuse me" He made an excuse to rush to his room and locked it.
"Adrien wait...urgh typical!" Gabriel groans in defeat.
"Kid, you okay? You're sweating!" Plagg can see something is very wrong with his owner trembling.
"No…..Argh!" Adrien fell down on his knees and ripped his shirt and jacket in rage from all that feverish feeling in his body.
"OH NO!" Plagg gasps as he saw his holder transform.
Adrien fell to the floor and saw his fingernails turning into claws, "AAAAAGH! What's happening to me?!"
"Kid, look at me! Don't panic! Stay calm!" Plagg said but Adrien's adrenaline was too much, he can't stop.
"AAAAAGH!" Adrien feels his body morph, a long tail grew from his back and black fur grew from his body. His shoes and pants were torn from transforming into something big and vicious. Then his face morphed into that of a cat with fangs and whiskers. His ears moved up to the top of his head and became pointy.
"MEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!" He roared like a panther and jumped out the window, whatever he can find to hunt his prey.
"This does not sound good!" Plagg gasps.

Werecat Adrien ran on all fours on the street and got into an alley, "GRRRRR!" He crawls like a feral animal.
"What's the noise?!" Ladybug heard him growling and followed where it came from, then saw a pair of glowing eyes in the ally.
"Come out, whoever you are" She called out. But that's when Werecat Adrien leaps out and tries to pounce her.
"Whoa! A monster cat?!" Ladybug backed off, "Easy now! I don't wanna do this!" She spins her yoyo but the feline monster didn't back down, licking his lips.
"Cat Noir where are you?!" Ladybug said but her partner is nowhere.
"RAAAAAAAGH!" Werecat Adrien then almost clawed her.
"Whoa! Stop! Knock it off!" Ladybug dodged them.
"Hrrrrgh!" Werecat Adrien growled as he looks at her. He then jumps over her and into the seafood market.
"Stop right there!" Ladybug ran after him.
Werecat Adrien roared to get everyone to move out of the way as he crawled on all fours, sniffing for food he can find. He grabbed some fresh pike and tore a chunk from it. Hungry for fresh fish meat as he ate like a vicious monster to satisfy his hunger.
Ladybug was disgusted at the sight as the feline beast ate, "Urgh! Okay enough eating, cat monster!" Ladybug threw her yoyo to lasso its feet.
But Werecat Adrien jumps out of the way before she could fully lasso him, "MEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWW!" He yowled out loud in anger and he found this girl as a threat. He ran at her and tried to strike his claws but missed when she got up on some lamppost.
Angered, Cat Adrien climbs up the lamppost to catch her, "Cats don't like heights you know!" Ladybug taunted.
"RAAAARGH!" Werecat Adrien lost his grip on the lamppost and Ladybug swings to a safer spot.
"Okay, this is gonna get rough" Ladybug said to herself.
Suddenly, the police army fired at the creature, making it angry but also hurt.
Ladybug saw it run away in pain, "Blood? It's a person! It's gotta be" Ladybug followed it.

In an abandoned subway station, Werecat Adrien panted in exhaustion. He felt himself changing back and the bullets coming off his wounds. He laid down on the ground, his torn jeans remaining on him. Plagg was looking all over for him until he found him in the abandoned area.
"Oh, Adrien" He tries to wake him up.
"Urgh. Where am I? And why is my jeans torn?" Adrien woke up, confused.
"Don't you remember? You turned into a giant cat!" Plagg exclaims.
"Last minute I was in my room and now in this ghost station" Adrien looks around.
"We better get out of here quickly before someone sees you," Plagg said.
"You're right! Plagg claws out!" Adrien transformed into Cat Noir.
"Yoohoo! Here kitty kitty kitty!" He heard Ladybug coming.
"Oh, boy" Cat Noir gasps if she's gonna suspect he's the Werecat. But he decides to pull an act, "Is it you Bugaboo?" He called to her
"Cat Noir? Where have you been?" She asked.
"Uhhh…..hunting mice? Just what they say about street cats as predators." He lied.
"Very funny Kitty. There was a cat monster on the loose. I don't know if it's a senti-monster" Ladybug said.
"What did it look like exactly?" Cat Noir asked, wanting to know what he really looked like.
"Almost like a humanoid black cat, standing 6 feet tall" Ladybug explained.
"A werecat?" Cat Noir guessed.
"I guess. But don't werecreatures appear by a full moon?" She wondered.
"That would be werewolves, milady. Werewolves are very popular than werecats" Cat Noir said.
"Oh, I see. Well, at least no akumas tonight" Ladybug said, leaning to the wall.
"Yeah or else twice the trouble," Cat Noir said and his stomach growled again but he felt like he had already eaten.
"Did I just hear a growl?" Ladybug asked.
"Uh, no way" Cat Noir said nervously.
"Oh well. Catch you later kitty" She scratched his chin before leaving.
