Adrien was at his abandoned place, still trying to maintain control of the beast within but it was not easy when it comes to having struggling emotions. Especially like when Ladybug is a bit bossy with Cat Noir. At the same time, he has to get help from her. If a kiss doesn't work, then making a ritual can. Like to exorcise the demon from out of the living being.

"Happy thoughts Adrien, happy thoughts," He said to himself.

"Kid, what if there's a ritual to get the beast out of you?" Plagg said.

"That might work, Plagg. But I wonder if Ladybug knows of one" Adrien said.

"Curses can be cured by rituals sometimes" Plagg swallowed his cheese.

"Yeah, then my cover as Cat Noir is safe," Adrien said.

"So why not ask Ladybug about it. If the kiss doesn't work, then find a ritual" Plagg said and let out a belch.

"Urgh, well it's worth a shot, Plagg," Adrien said.

"Here she comes" Plagg saw Ladybug coming this way and he hides in Adrien's leather jacket.

"Hello, Adrien" Ladybug approached Adrien.

"Hey Ladybug" Adrien got up.

"I feel more relaxed. Just one question Ladybug, you think a ritual would work to break the curse?" Adrien then asked.

"It's possible but it's ancient and no one knows if there's a real spellbook to do that" Ladybug said.

"Hmmm, there should be one," Adrien thought.

"But I need to find a way to remember everything as the beast." He added.

"Alright. It is said that some that turn into werecreatures eventually gain full control of the form and retain their conscience" Ladybug said.

"But there's one thing. That book my father is keeping in his safe" Adrien recalled.

Ladybug remembers the day she found the book from the trash can that Lila threw in, "I wonder if he still has it" Ladybug said.

"He'll be furious if I robbed his book," Adrien said.

"We need a plan then," Ladybug said.

"Try to get me angry and maybe...just maybe, I can find a way to remain calm as a beast and remember everything," Adrien said as he removes his shoes, shirt, and jacket.

"Here goes!" Ladybug slaps him again hard.

Adrien winced from the slap and angrily transformed again from the pain and Ladybug backs off, "NNNNGH! MEEEEEEEEOW!" Werecat Adrien yowled loudly.

"Easy, boy. Calm down." Ladybug turned on the laser so that it can calm the beast to be a playful kitty.

"Rawr!" He leaps at the dot much to Ladybug's amusement.

"So cute!" Ladybug giggled.

Werecat Adrien playfully growled, trying to grab the red dot moving around, "Come and get it!" Ladybug kept playing with him.

Werecat Adrien kept trying to catch the dot until Ladybug turns it off, "Good kitty" Ladybug pets him.

He purred in happiness and inside his consciousness, Adrien can now remember everything, "She's the best hero girl there is" He thought.

"Adrien, you in there?" Ladybug asked.

Werecat Adrien looks right at her as if he recognizes her, "I take it you can't speak as a werecat?" She guessed.

Werecat Adrien nods and nuzzles her. She giggled that he's still in there, no longer letting his anger blind him.

"Hehehehe good boy, Adrien. Good boy!" She fell to the floor as Werecat Adrien nuzzles her.

"Meow" He meowed at her.

"Now let's test your memories. You remember Kagami?" She asked and Adrien nods at her question.

"Good, now do you remember Chloe, the Mayor's daughter?" She then asked and Werecat Adrien makes a disgusted face at the mention of that name.

"What about Lila?" She asked and that made him growl, "Never liked her too. Now how about Nino? Your best friend?" She then asked, Werecat Adrien, nods with a smile.

"That's good. You remember. Now, what about your father?" She asked and that made him look upset. He drops his head with his ears down, "Oh right" Ladybug comforts him.

Werecat Adrien purrs lowly when she rubs his ears, "And what about Marinette?" She then asked.

"Meow" He meowed in happiness.

"Aw, I knew you'd remember her as well" She pets him some more, "Let's see…Do you remember the time I saved you from Gorizilla?" Ladybug asked and Werecat Adrien sat down and nodded his head as an answer.

"Good. And when I gave you the snake miraculous to be Aspik?" She then asked and he nodded but made a disappointed look that he failed that mission as Aspik.

"Well, I forgive you, Adrien. We learn from our mistakes. For now, I know your mind is there" Ladybug said, making him feel happy.

"Meow" Werecat Adrien meowed.

"Want some milk, kitty?" She poured a bowl of milk.

"Meow!" He got excited and he laps up the milk in the bowl while Ladybug watched. Like a cat, he can't do things like a human but at least his paws have a human hand shape with claws.

"Now all I have to do is wait for you to turn human" Ladybug said.

The beast thought that tranquility and calmness might do the trick, "Now relax my big kitty" She pets him as he lay on her lap.

"Meow" He meowed and slowly transformed back to human, "Phew, at last," He sighed in relief.

"Do you remember everything?" Ladybug asked.

"Yes, I remember my classmates, my father, and the times you saved me," Adrien said.

"That's great. But do you remember yourself as the Werecat?" Ladybug asked.

"Yes, but I can't speak as a werecat" Adrien replied.

"I noticed. Do you feel ready to go undercover to claim that book as the beast?" Ladybug asked.

"I think so," Adrien said.

"That's a good kitty" Ladybug pets his head playfully.

"Uh, meow?" Adrien said.

Later, as the Werecat, he broke through the window which set off the alarms in the mansion. He growled in annoyance but had to focus on his mission. He sniffed for the book that's behind his mother's portrait. He lifted it off and found the book laying there.

"Adrien!" Gabriel shouted as he saw him but this only made the werecat turn around and growl at him.

"Stand down Adrien, if you can hear me in there!" Gabriel demanded.

"RAAAAARGH!" Werecat Adrien growled.

"Now, now, Adrien! Don't do this!" Gabriel backed off.

Werecat Adrien did not like it but he had to be a little aggressive because he knows what his father did was very torturing. He grabbed the book and sniffed it.

"This is what I need" Werecat Adrien thought.

"Adrien! Put it down now!" Gabriel demanded him.

"RAAAAAGH!" Werecat Adrien strikes his father hard across the floor.

Gabriel then saw him leap through the window, "What have I unleashed?"

The beast managed to get away with the spellbook but was chased by cops in police cars. He knew if he stopped, the police would open fire on him. He needed to howl to let Ladybug know he was in trouble.

He stops on top of a statue and howled loudly to get her attention, "MEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

"Coming through!" Ladybug swings toward his location.

Werecat Adrien jumps off the statue and hissed angrily at the police force. They all took out their guns and even some animal control arrived with tranquilizers. The beast gasped at the tranquilizers that can make an animal or a person sedated.

"You're surrounded! No sudden moves!" Officer Roger said.

"Enough! There's a person in there!" Ladybug swings in to protect the Werecat.

"Stand down Ladybug, we'll handle-"

"This creature is an innocent citizen transformed!" Ladybug interrupted.

"Meow" The beast licked Ladybug's cheek, showing how gentle he is than a threat.

"Stand down, men. Let Ladybug handle it" The chief of police said.
