Chloé went back outside to see Ladybug and Cat Noir about to take off to another place, and she ran up to them. "Ladybug! I want to have a word with you!"

"Chloé? Not right now, we're kind of busy here!" Ladybug said.

"It's just a second, I'm just wondering how on Earth you could have trusted Lila Rossi with a Miraculous?" Chloé waved her arms out in frustration. "She used her powers to make me look bad!"

"Huh?" Ladybug's eyebrow raised. "I would never do that!"

"Yeah, you must have." Chloé said. "She's Rena Rouge, she told me and even proved it to me."

"Chloé, we've dealt with Lila before. She isn't Rena Rouge. Clearly she was re-akumatized as Volpina and she used her powers to make it look like she was Rena Rouge." Ladybug said. "Lila is bad news, Chloé, you need to keep your guard up when around her. She'll do whatever she can to manipulate you and lie."

"Wait, so she isn't Rena Rouge at all?" Chloé was pissed. "Ladybug, let me help you! Please! If it's three against one, we'll have an even better shot at defeating her!"

Ladybug looked at her pensively. "Chloé, I would love to, but you did reveal your secret identity as Queen Bee. Due to the strict rules of Miraculous holders, unfortunately I can never give you the Bee Miraculous ever again."

"Maybe you could give me another Miraculous?" she pleaded. "If you still trust me, I promise that I will never ever reveal my secret identity again! Plus, I know where Volpina is, but it will be kind of difficult to get to her."

"It's not a terrible idea…" Ladybug said, as she zipped off. "Cat Noir, stand guard with her, I'll be right back!"

"So, Chloé, uh, I hear you're good friends with Adrien Agreste," Cat Noir said. "What's he like?"

"Oh, yeah, Adrien's great…" She trailed off, "I thought I had a crush on him actually for the longest time… But I'm starting to realize the only reason I knew him is because my mom and his dad were close friends. He's great and all, but I certainly wish I had made more of my own friends or pursued someone I actually liked in that way, instead of trying to be like my mom. You know?"

"Be like your mom?" Cat Noir cocked his head to the side, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I only liked Adrien because I wanted to be like mom, who clearly likes Mr. Agreste. It's so obvious mom and Mr. Agreste are more than business associates, if you know what I mean. He's always kissing her hand and treating her like she's special. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd done more than that."

Cat Noir grimaced. "No way, he'd never cheat on mo-I mean, uh- his wife."

"I guess I don't know for sure. But whatever, I'll let Dupain-Cheng have Adrien, since she likes him so much," Chloé said.

"Dupain-Cheng?" Cat Noir gasped. "You mean Mari-"

Suddenly Ladybug returned with a black box. Her hand outstretched. "Chloé Bourgeois. This is the Miraculous of the horse, which grants you the power of teleportation. You will use it for the greater good."

"Yes! Thank you, Ladybug!" Chloé took it, and opened it to see a folded pair of glasses. The Horse Kwami appeared.

"Salutations. I'm Kaalki. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?" She said with a British accent, floating next to her.

"I'm Chloé."

"Are you glorious and famous?" She asked.

"Well, I am the mayor's daughter, and the daughter of a fashion designer My last name is literally Bourgeois."

"Sounds good to me. Now, in order to activate your power, say, full gallop. Your power is Voyage which can create portals. Then to deactivate you say dismount,"

"Kaalki, full gallop!" Chloé put the glasses on and transformed into a horse superhero. Her ponytail turned from blonde to have streaks of brown, and with a brown jumpsuit and a boomerang weapon appearing on her.

"Okay so, what do you want to be called now as this superhero?" Ladybug said.

"I'm Queen Stallion!" She exclaimed. "Okay, now I can create a portal that will lead you guys right to Volpina! Voyage!"

She then sent a portal and inside they could see the inside of the bathroom and the top of Volpina's head. The three heroes jumped in and landed on Volpina, who squealed as they piled on her. Cat Noir ripped the necklace from her and used his Cataclysm on it.

Ladybug de-evilized Lila, and since her powers didn't cause any damage, Ladybug didn't need to send out any ladybugs besides for the illusions. They all bumped fists and said "Pound it!" Lila looked up.

"Oh no!" Lila gasped. "Was I akumatized? This is a disaster, I'm so sorry!"

"Don't worry Lila," Cat Noir said. "You can't control yourself when you're akumatized."

"I should have never let my jealousy of Chloé Bourgeois get the better of me."

Queen Stallion's ears perked. "Wait, you were jealous of m- that… that Chloé girl?"

"Yes." Lila looked down. "I was so jealous of my classmate being a superhero and not me, that I lied to her. I told her I was Rena Rouge when I wasn't, and I used my Volpina powers to make it look like I was Rena. I shouldn't have done that. And then I used the illusions to make her look bad. All I wanted was to have someone notice me, and be actually impressed by me."

Ladybug put her hand on Lila's shoulder and gave her a kind look in the eyes. "Hey, I'm sure you can impress people without lying. You just have to be yourself Lila. You should come clean to your classmates about what you did, it takes an impressive person to tell the truth."

"Anyway, we better get going," Queen Stallion said. "We're gonna untransform soon. Lila, you have to make things right with that Chloé girl. You should apologize."

"Okay you guys," Lila said. "Thank you so much!"

The three heroes jumped out the window. Lila's hopeful grin turned to a scowl. "Those incompetent heroes may have ruined my plan, but I will succeed with my next one. And I'm certainly not apologizing to that Chloé girl. She needs to learn her place. She's the dumb, mean, rich girl, and that's all she will be as long as I'm around."

Lila gave her hair a flip before she left the bathroom, and the guy waiting entered. She strutted out of the cafe with a devilish grin.

Back at school, everyone was sitting in Mrs. Mendeleiev's class, the whole class was angry at Chloé, still unaware of what had actually happened, except for Marinette and Adrien.

"Guys, come on, it wasn't me, it was Lila who was akumatized as Volpina. She created an illusion of me to make me look bad, because she was jealous of me being Queen Bee!"

"Nice try Chloé, with your tall tales." Alya yelled. "But according to the news, Mr. Pigeon was akumatized today, not Lila!"

"How dare you use poor Lila to make yourself look better!" Max said. "You understand that she is going through a lot recently? She has a sprained wrist and has discovered that she has tinnitus!"

"Yeah," Nino added. "She's been having so many problems that she doesn't need you adding to them!"

"Guys, let's not be so quick to judge!" Marinette said. "Let's wait until Lila comes and we'll see what she has to say. If she was akumatized into Volpina, and did that under an akumatization, then she will surely let us know when she gets to class.

"Yeah, you guys wouldn't want to hate Chloé based on a misunderstanding." Adrien smiled.

Alya nodded. "True, I should be practicing good journalism. Always verify your sources."

Marinette and Chloé smiled at each other, Chloé feeling warm that her friend still had faith in her. Suddenly, Lila entered the class, everyone was waiting. Alya stood up and walked up to her.

"Hey there Lila!" she said. "We just wanted to ask you, is it true that you were akumatized? And under your akumatization, did you make an illusion of Chloé who insulted everyone? If you did, it's totally okay, we know you can't control yourself under akumatization. And you're not evil deep down. We don't want her to be accused of something she didn't do."

"Oh, uh," Lila stammered as the rest of the class looked at her. "N-no! I never did that! In fact, she also insulted me! When I was coming back from lunch, she said I was a disgusting Italian freak, and that I should go back to Italy where I came from."

Lila started crying. The rest of the class gasped and then glared at Chloé, whose arms were shaking in a blend of anger, vulnerability and anxiety.

"You're really falling for this, she's lying!" Chloé yelled. "I never said anything about her!"

"Why would we believe you, Chloé?" Ivan yelled. "You've treated everyone terribly for years. You insulted the way my face looks, the way my girlfriend's body looks, you've even tormented Marinette for years! We all know what you're like."

Marinette's fist tightened. She took Chloé by the hand and took her out to the hallway.

"Looks like Marinette is gonna give that rude bitch a piece of her mind! Woo! Go Mari!" Alya cheered.

She closed the door.

"Okay, you know that Lila's completely lying through her teeth, right?" Marinette asked. "She's never going to stop lying!"

"Yeah, obviously!" Chloé replied. "But wait, why do you believe me?"

"I've caught on very early that Lila always lies about everything! And it makes me so angry!" Marinette fists clenched, her brow furrowed. "Now she's using them to unfairly lie about you! It's unbelievable!"

"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it. They'll never believe me!" Chloe yelled. "It's gonna be all my fault! I guess this is the bad karma I get for being a bully for so many years…"

Chloé's face dropped, looking completely helpless, an expression that rarely would appear on her face. Marinette's rage for Lila was building up with every second.

"That's it! I'm gonna give that lying lunatic a piece of my-"

"Marinette watch out!" Chloe yelled and pointed towards a window. Turning around, Marinette saw an akuma flying toward her.

Chloé ran back into the classroom. "Guys, Marinette's getting akumatized!"

"Ughhh!" Marinette tried everything she could to cancel out the akuma, but her negative emotions were too strong to resist. She backed up slowly and began shooing it away, but it was no use. As it got closer, Marinette ripped her earrings off, and Tikki flew out from her purse to catch them. The akuma entered Marinette's purse and the butterfly sign appeared above her face.

"Nooooo! This can't be happening…" Marinette trailed off.

"Princess Justice, I am Hawk Moth. Since the innocent is no longer to be believed anymore, I'm giving you the power to expose the truth. All I ask for in return are Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous."

"Okay, Hawk Moth." Marinette said before an abyss of purple enveloped her body.
