"Hey Alya what am I supposed to do again?" asked Ben. He and everyone in the class (minus Chloe, Marinette, and Sabrina) were helping set up a surprise birthday party for Marinette in the park.
"Ben you are to help Kim blow up the balloons." answered Alya looking at her list of jobs.
"Ok" said Ben as he walked over to Kim and helped him blow up balloons.
Alya then walked over to Gwen who was in charge of managing the guest list and said "Hey Gwen is everyone here?"
"Just Marinette's parents are missing which means we're missing the cake and we can't have a birthday party without a cake." said Gwen starting to get a bit panicky since shes a bit of a control freak when it comes to plans.
"Hey relax G. It'll be fine they're probably just running late is all. Besides Cake doesn't have to be the first part of the party." said Alya
"Your right Alya." said Gwen calming down.
"Anyone else missing?" asked Alya
"No just Marinette and her parents but she isn't supposed to be here yet." answered Gwen
After her checking in on Gwen Alya checked to make sure everything and everyone else was ready to begin the party.
Seeing that everything but the cake was good to go Alya checked her phone to see the time and it was already 4:16pm
"Well we can't wait any longer so I'll call her over now." said Alya as she dialed up Marinette's number.
In less than a second Marinette answered "Alya!"
"Sorry I'm running late. Can you meet me at the park?" asked Alya. However she shuddered as one of the balloons Ben and Kim were blowing up popped making a loud bang sound.
"We'll jam straight from there to the uh dentist!" rushed out Alya.
"Yes... Yes, awesome! To the dentist. Totally I'll be right there!" replied Marinette as she then ended the call.
Alya put her phone back in her pocket and shouted "Alright everyone shes on her way over!" followed by some applause.
Ben saw Alya walking Marinette over with a blindfold. Ben knew Marinette knew that this was a surprise party that wasn't really a surprise because why else would she let Alya blindfold her or agree to go to the dentist on her birthday.
As they made their way over Alya pulled the Blindfold off of Marinette and she looked surprised to see her surprise birthday party. They began the festivities with opening presents.
Mylene got her a Gabriel Agreste book. Nino copies of all her favorite songs, Alya some fashion materials for her crafting. and after several other gifts the last one to give a gift was Adrien.
Adrien told her happy birthday as Marinette held the gift and stared at it in awe with her jaw dropped like it was the holy grail wrapped up in a tiny gift box.
Alya closed Marinette's jaw for her and told her to open it.
Before Marinette could actually get the chance to open her last gift. She was interrupted by a weird song coming from above. It was an akuma that looked more like someone redressed a witch and gave her a gun. She also rode a flying motorcycle which is how she was flying along with an angel person that resembled Marinette's mother
"Le Befana comes at night! With her shaky broom in flight! She gives out candy to those who are dandy!" the akuma sang.
The akuma jumped off her hovercycle and waltzed over to Marinette
"Grandma?" Marinette said in shock.
"You lied to your Grandma, Marinette." the akuma spoke.
Everyone began running away every which way and taking cover behind tables, trees or anywhere there was to hide.
Ben and Gwen both took cover underneath the buffet table.
"Essh Marinette's Grandma sure looks a lot like a witch." said Ben
"Well of course she does doofus. Shes obviously been akumatized." said Gwen
"And you know what that means." added Ben activating the Omnitrix.
"Hero Time?" replied Gwen as a pink flash emanated off her changing her into Lucky Girl.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." said Ben not looking at who he selected slammed down his palm on the Omnitrix igniting his own transformation into a random alien.
Marinette was trying to plead with her Grandma even though she was an akuma.
"No I...I didn't know Alya was throwing a surprise birthday party for me." pleaded Marinette to her former grandmother.
"Shes for real ma'am." added Alya
"And all those candies you pretended to be eating?" questioned the akuma whilst changing the setting on her weapon.
"I'm sorry grandma. Its just that I didn't want to upset you." apologized Marinette
"I'm not your grandma anymore! From now on I am only Befana and I am going to punish you for all those lies" said Befana pointing her weapon at Marinette.
Befana fired but Marinette ducked and the blast hit Mylene who was hiding behind some bushes that were behind Marinette.
"NOOOO!" cried Marinette. She then tried fleeing but was blocked by the hypnotized fairy angel version of her mother.
"Its rude to leave while Befana is still speaking to you." stated Befana as she pointed her gun at Marinette again.
Before Befana could fire her weapon was whacked by a staff from on top of the giant stereos/DJ stand.
Befana turned to see Cat Noir retracting his staff and saying "Hey! I never knew grandmas could be so nasty."
However this caused Befana to respond with "You will look wonderful in white my pretty kitty" as she then changed the setting on her weapon once again to white and fired at Cat Noir
Cat noir leaned to the right to avoid it and responded with "I'm not convinced. I'm much more into black. Makes my eyes stand out don't you think?"
Befana did not reply to that and instead began trying to shoot Cat Noir but he kept doing parkour and ninja jumps to avoid the blasts.
As Cat Noir jumped onto a rooftop Befana was going to continue blasting at him to make him one of her so called fairies but her weapon was shot out of her hand by a crystal of some sort.
Befana turned to see a creature made entirely out of diamond and a purple skinned woman. He was big and bulky. his head was sharp but smooth except at the end. He wore a black jumpsuit with a wide green stripe down the middle as well as a white/grey hourglass symbol on the center of his chest and two big bilateral diamond blades sticking out of his back.
"Hey geyser! Cut her some slack its her birthday after all." said the Diamond man
"Yeah and if you give up your black butterfly we'll make sure to take care of your fairies." added the purple skinned woman
"Who are you two to dare interfere with a grandmother dishing out a punishment!" yelled Befana
"Diamondhead!" "and Lucky Girl!" Diamondhead and Lucky Girl said.
"It is rude to raise your voices at Befana!" said Befana as she switched her weapon back to coal mode and fired at Diamondhead who in turn fired Diamond shards that intercepted the blast but did not turn to coal.
"What! How are your crystals immune to Befana's magic!" boomed Befana
"Uhh I don't know" answered Diamondhead shrugging his shoulders.
"Its because diamond and coal are both the same thing." answered Lucky Girl.
Diamondhead and Befana both turned to Lucky Girl in confusion.
Lucky Girl sighed and then said "Diamond is a compressed crystallized version of Carbon. Coal is a more raw less compressed version and since they're the same thing just differently arranged you can't turn Diamond into coal when they're already the same thing."
Diamondhead sorta understood that whilst Befana only cared to know it her coal blasts did not work on Diamondhead.
"Well if I cannot petrify you then I will make you join me! As soon as I take care of my lying granddaughter" said Befana turning to where Marinette once was only to find she was gone and her fairy slave was unconscious.
"What where did she go!" cried Befana.
Flashback to like 2 minutes ago
Befana turned to see a creature made entirely out of diamond and a purple skinned woman.
While Befana was distracted by Diamondhead's insults Cat Noir took advantage of the distraction. He leapt off of the rooftops and whacked mom fairy on the head forcing her unconscious.
He then extended his hand out to Marinette whilst prepping his staff to extend and said "Sorry I kept you waiting. We need to find you a better hiding place. Shall we?" Marinette took his hand as he picked her up and pole vaulted them away to the Eiffel Tower whilst Befana was getting distracted in a pointless explanation of how coal and diamond are made of the same element.
Back to the Present
"Urgh so rude for her to leave without permission from Befana!" growled Befana. Before she could give chase or resume fighting with Diamondhead or Lucky Girl a pink mana dome trapped her in place.
"What is this!" demanded Befana pounding her hands on it trying to break it."
"Mana Dome. Hope you like it." replied Lucky Girl with a grin.
"Is this how you treat your elders!" retorted Befana
"You mean keep them safe until they can be cured from akumatism. Then yeah it is." said Diamondhead.
Befana growled and shifted her gun back to coal mode and attempted to fire on the dome but the gun would not fire.
"Ugh blasted thing holds such little ammo." Befana said whilst taking out a canteen full of Befana brand candy and pouring them into her guns ammo container. After her reload she fired upon the shield turning it into coal. Befana then broke the fragile shield with a kick which caused it all to crumble down.
"Gah!" cried Lucky Girl wincing from her shield turning to coal and crumbling.
"You ok?" asked Diamondhead
"Yeah just hurts when she turns my mana to coal. Its like shes taking some of the life energy from me when she does that." answered Lucky Girl.
Diamondhead grew angry at knowing Befana was hurting his cousin like that. He formed his arms into twin blades and charged towards the recently freed Befana.
Befana saw this and side stepped him to avoid being cut by him. Diamondhead stopped his charge after missing and turned his right hand into a shard launcher and began firing on Befana whom took cover behind a table.
Befana switched her weapon to fairy mode and was about to begin opening fire on Diamondhead but her cover was lifted upwards by a pink platform that appeared under it. She looked over to see Lucky Girl's hands glowing pink as she held up the table with her magic. Reacting to late to Diamondhead resuming his charge on her she got tackled to the ground by him.
Diamondhead was about to encase her in a diamond prison but was pushed off of her by the mom fairy who had regained consciousness.
"Thank you my fairy." said Befana as she took the fairy's hand and was pulled up from the ground.
Diamondhead partially got back up to find Befana pointing her weapon at him again with mom fairy at her side.
"Any last words you spoiled brat." said Befana
"Yeah. Now Lucky Girl!" called out Diamondhead.
Lucky Girl dissolved her magic platform causing it to fall upon a foolish Befana who hadn't realized she was standing underneath it.
"Nice One." said Diamondhead getting back up.
"Nice distraction." said Lucky Girl.
Suddenly the table turned to coal and Befana emerged from the rubble.
"Enough of this!" boomed Befana as her hovercycle landed by her side. "My fairy keep them busy while I search for Marinette." Befana ordered as she got on her bike.
Diamondhead began dueling with the mom fairy while Lucky Girl was tossing mana discs at Befana to try to stop her escape but all missed as she flew away across Paris in search of her granddaughter.
"You handle the fairy person. I'll follow Befana!" said Lucky Girl to Diamondhead as she began following Befana on energy platforms.
Diamondhead only grunted in response as he threw mom fairy into a tree and turned his arms back into blades.
Befana began a conversion spree. either turning people into her fairy minions like firefighters or into coal statues like a man who littered or bullies. She had gathered two fairies by her side and was singing her song again but added an extra verse "and only gives coal to brats with no soul!" when suddenly a pole stuck out from no where and knocked her off her hovercycle. She was caught by her fairies and lifted onto a rooftop to find the pole retracted back into Cat Noir's staff with him mocking her singing from an adjacent rooftop "Cat Noir comes too unexpectedly! Uh how do we make that rhyme?" suddenly Ladybug swooped in finishing his rhyme "Fighting evil with his lady!" Cat Noir then said "Of course not bad Bugaboo."
Befana grew a look of rage on her face as a purple outline appeared over it as well. "Ladybug has joined the party at last! Bring me the miraculous Befana!" demand Hawkmoth through the psychic connection he holds with all of his akumas.
"You didn't say the magic word." said Befana.
Hawkmoth looked dumbfounded for a second and then replied with " Ahem... please"
"Much better Hawk Moth." praised Befana as the purple outline disappeared. Befana then demanded pointing at Cat Noir " You little thief! Where have you hidden Marinetta!"
"I forgetta" joked Cat Noir.
Ladybug prepped her yoyo and said "Watch out or you'll get a time out!"
Befana ordered her fairy minions "Take care of these two villains!"
The fairies charged at Ladybug and Cat Noir as they dodged, flipped, and deflected their attacks. Befana then began to ponder "What does the villainous cat burglar do when he feels threatened?" She then saw the Eiffel Tower and knew where. "He climbs!" Befana. boomed in realization.
Befana began racing towards the tower on foot to rendezvous with her hovercycle but was hit in the back by something knocking her down onto the rooftop she was standing on. Befana turned to see Lucky Girl standing on a mana platform with her right hand pointing at her and glowing with mana.
"She said to watch out so now its your time out." rhymed Lucky Girl.
Befana gritted her teeth and pulled out her weapon and fired coal blasts at Lucky Girl who blocked with Mana shields that turned to coal dust as soon as they were hit.
Lucky Girl was holding Befana at an impasse while Ladybug and Cat Noir were dealing with the fairy goons that used to be a firefighter and a Good Samaritan.
Diamondhead was growing tired of his battle with the mom fairy. He continued to try to knock her down in order to place her in a diamond prison but she kept outmaneuvering him with her air and speed superiority. Diamondhead finally saw an opportunity and leapt onto mom fairy's back in order to ground her. However this did not have the desired effect. Instead of crushing her to the ground she took off trying to rub Diamondhead off on buildings she flew by.
"OOOOoWoah" said Diamondhead as he scrapped against the buildings whilst trying to hold on. He moved his hands to her wings to ground her and sure enough it worked as they came to a crashing stop into the front doors of an office building.
"Ahhhh!, Run!, Hide!" shouted all the employees on the first floor of the office building Diamondhead and mom fairy had crashed into as they ran off and hid.
Diamondhead began to get up off the floor to find mom fairy doing the same.
Seeing his chance he rose diamond pillars from the ground slamming mom fairy into the ceiling. Diamondhead slammed her a few more times until he was sure she was unconscious and let her body come down.
"Sorry to do this but I need to get back and take down your boss." said Diamondhead as he formed the pillars into restraints around mom fairy's unconscious form.
After restraining the mom fairy Diamondhead was about to head back towards the fight when he heard a familiar beeping sound. He looked down to the Omnitrix on his chest to see it glowing red as a red flash burst out from it turning him back into Ben.
Ben lifted his left wrist and glared at the red Omnitrix on it and complained to it rhetorically "Will you never last how long I want you too." He then ran out of the building before the employees would start to come out of hiding.
Befana was eventually able to get back on her hovercycle and take off towards the Eiffel Tower but was not able to get Lucky Girl off of her tail.
"Villainous brat quit fighting me I am only trying to discipline my granddaughter." complained Befana
"Discipline? More like petrify." retorted Lucky Girl. She threw a mana disc at the hovercycle and hit its engine causing it to spew smoke and lose altitude.
"Oh no no no!" cried out Befana as she crashed onto the first floor of the Eiffel Tower. She got off of the remains of her hovercycle and aimed her weapon at Lucky Girl and fired coal blasts at her.
Lucky Girl realized she wouldn't have time to dodge or at least not to the sides so she dropped her energy platform and fell a bit until she landed on a lower one and created a mana shield to block off any further attacks. She then moved forwards on additional platforms she created and charged with her shield up towards Befana.
Befana instead of aiming at her shield she aimed for the platform Lucky Girl was standing on. Taking a few seconds to adjust her aim she fired. The shot hit spot on turning the platform Lucky Girl was standing on into dust. Lucky Girl fell now no longer having anything to stand on.
Lucky Girl was still recovering from the surprise drop Befana gave her. She was expecting Befana to aim at her shield not where she was standing. Lucky Girl quickly created another platform out of mana and hit it hard.
"Owww." groaned Lucky Girl as she began to stand again however her mana shield had disappeared since she lost focus on it.
"Now I have you." said Befana as she was about to blast the disoriented Lucky Girl but she was saved by Ladybug swooping in and swinging her to the level of the tower Befana stood on.
Befana turned to face them whilst Cat Noir took on the fairies in-between the structure of the tower.
Ladybug knew this was the time so she threw up her yoyo at the same time Befana aimed her weapon at her and shouted "Lucky Charm!" What fell down as the lucky charm she required was a BRICK WALL COMING STRAIGHT FOR HER! At the same time the brick wall fell Befana had fired her shot at where Ladybug is standing.
"Gahhhh!" shouted Ladybug as Lucky Girl pulled her out of the way of the falling polka dotted red brick wall. The wall slammed down upon the steel platform and completely blocked the walkway separating Befana from Ladybug and Lucky Girl. The wall was also almost immediately hit by Befana's coal blast turning it in coal black.
"What where did that come from?!" exclaimed Befana in shock. She fired again at the wall but nothing happened.
"Can't turn what's already coal into coal." said Lucky Girl from the behind the wall as she then faced Ladybug and asked "So what's the plan with this wall?"
"Wish I knew. It's never given me a lucky charm this big before." answered Ladybug.
Befana was about to call her hovercycle to fly her over the wall but then remembered it was trashed. Before she could come up with another idea to get her over the wall she was blasted into the railing by a disgusting smelling goop.
"Ewwwwgh what is this slime?" said Befana as she struggled to get out of it.
"My specialty." said a nasally voice from above. Befana looked upwards to see a giant insect with bug wings, four eye stalks, four legs with two arms. and a stinger like edge to the back of its tail. It wore a green outfit but couldn't really be described except that it covers his body and was black with some green stripes on the underbelly of it. "Ugh you are even more disgusting than this sludge I am trapped in." said Befana as she continued to struggle.
"Bout time you got here." said Lucky Girl
Stinkfly turned to see she and Ladybug were on top of one of her energy platforms which was on top of the wall as Lucky Girl guided it (with them on it) over towards him.
"You know this uh... thing?" said Ladybug not sure what to address it by.
"Stinkfly the name is Stinkfly." Stinkfly said in his nasally voice.
Lucky Girl and Ladybug covered their noses in disgust at Stinkfly's stench.
"Ugh I forgot how bad you smell and yeah I know him." complained and then added Lucky Girl.
Ladybug knew that saving the akumatized victim takes priority so she would ask this Stinkfly questions after she purifies the akuma. She walked over to Befana still struggling to escape the slime she is trapped in.
Ladybug noticed the gun was trapped in the goop as well and pulled it out and broke it but no akuma came out.
"Huh thats weird if the akuma isn't in there than where is-" Ladybug stopped herself at seeing Befana had something sticking out of the slime attached to her belt. She pulled that out of the goo too and saw it was a canteen of some sort and ripped it in half. Out of the halves came a purple butterfly which Ladybug quickly purified.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" shouted Ladybug as she well touched the wall to trigger the ladybug swarm to fix everything and the wall vanished where a swarm of ladybugs began their repair of everything.
Cat Noir was still fighting the fairies when the swarm of Ladybugs took them and placed them back on the ground back to normal as well as restoring Marinette's mother back to normal and free from the diamonds. The ladybug swarm continued to fix everything until it was all done. and everything was back to normal including Befana back into Marinette's grandma and free from the slime which no longer existed.
Cat Noir leapt down onto the floor of the Eiffel Tower everyone else was on and walked up to Ladybug and said "Pound It!" whilst sticking his fist out which Ladybug reciprocated. Before ending the fist bump Cat Noir offered "You two want in on this?"
"Sure." and "Why not" said Lucky Girl and Stinkfly as they joined the fist bump. However quickly Cat Noir covered his nose in disgust at Stinkfly's stench "Ugh what is that smell?" he said.
Lucky Girl pointed a finger at Stinkfly who added "I can't help the way I smell but I don't call myself Stinkfly for nothing."
"We better get going. Nice meeting you again Ladybug and you as well Cat Noir." said Lucky Girl as she got on Stinkfly's back and they flew off to go detransform.
That was when Ladybug realized 2 things. 1 she forgot to ask who or what Stinkfly is and 2 She has to get back to her own birthday party.
