"Tired of Ladybug stealing the show? I shall provide the perfect power to make sure to take the light from her, my ally." Hawkmoth monologued. "Fly away my little Akuma and evilize her!"

The purplish, black butterfly infused of evil energy had made its way across Paris to capture its victim. More so, volunteer. Lila left out into the hallways as she spotted the Akuma. Finally, he was there to answer her call. Quickly, she grabbed the Akuma and placed it on her mask and it was absorbed. That's when the neon butterfly outline appeared and her face was now a rusty red shade in the area.

"Hawkmoth, your most devoted Ally is here to serve," Lila told him.

"Why of course, Lila, you're the most perfect ally I can ever ask for," Hawkmoth chuckled. "You shall be called Mystique, I shall grant you the power to neutralize Ladybug's magic and powers so that way you can easily steal her Miraculous. I already don't need to tell you what to do. For you already know."

"Of course. Bring me Ladybug's and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Don't worry, I shall destroy Ladybug once and for all!"

"Excellent, I expect nothing less from you."

The darkness had consumed Lila transforming her into a new Super Villain, Mystique.

Everyone was obvious to the danger that would soon befall the school as they were still enthralled by the dance between Adrien and Ladybug in the center of the floor. Adrien's eyes were still locked on Ladybug. Ladybug's gaze never leaving his. It was almost like the perfect dream.

"Ladybug, I'm so glad that you've come to dance with me," Adrien told her.

"I couldn't let my fan down," She smiled.

"Ladybug, there is something I've always wanted to tell you."

"Yes, Adrien?"

"Ladybug, I've always been in-"

Before Adrien could confess his deepest feelings for her, enter the villain: Mystique. Her hair was a shimmery purple. She wore an elegant Mask upon her face in her hand a weapon that was a like magic staff with a pretty shape of a diamond purple crystal. Her body draped into a dress that could like an evil queen from a fairy tale. She glares at Ladybug as that her main target as she screams for all to hear:

"Ladybug, I am Mystique and your Miraculous is mines!"

Fire off beams of purple lights at the students as she turned trapped some of them into crystallized cocoons. The scream of the students could be heard as they run off in a panic aside from the few: Alya, Chloe, Nino, and Luka, who went to take cover and see if there was anything to do help Ladybug. Mystique had set her sights on her main targets as she fired the beams at Ladybug which now the lights were now the color red as the crystal changes color.

Adrien grabbed Ladybug and dove under a table to avoid the blasts that hit the ground. Ladybug turned to Adrien. She had to protect him. She this was going to happen. She regrets coming to the dance as Ladybug for him. Even if the moment was the most perfect one. She never got the chance to know what Adrien was going to tell her.

"Adrien, I'm so sorry, please get somewhere safe." Ladybug told him. "This was my fault. I knew that the villain would appear if I have shown up."

"No, it's mine, I shouldn't ask you to come," Adrien assured her. "But thank you for coming for me, Ladybug."

He pressed his lips on her cheek, a small scarlet of red could be seen under her mask. Her bluebell eyes locked on his once more. Before she left to go face the villain until her partner arrives. Adrien quickly rushed out to quickly go transform, however, Mystique had set her sights on Adrien, her crystal turning purple before she took the blast for Adrien and trapped him into the crystal.

"Adrien, no!" Ladybug cried.

A burst of evil laughter had left the lips of the villain before her. "Well, Ladybug. You failed to protect your precious Adrien. Give me your Miraculous and then I'll let him free."

An angry Hawkmoth watched as his son was once again endangered because of his plans. But he couldn't let on his personal attachment or he give away his identity. He could only hope this would be over so that he can have him released. For now, he sat back and watched things unfold.

"Never! I will get Adrien back!" Ladybug cried out. "It's me you're after!"

Tossing her arm back as if she was going to pitch a baseball and throws her magical yo-yo towards the villain in attempts to try and steal her scepter. Mystique rolled off in the opposite direction as she would fire the red beams once more at Ladybug. Rolling off and evading each one, she would continue to fight back with her yo-yo, but this villain was agile and her beams were fast.

Mystique finally had her opening as she fired her beam and watched it hit Ladybug in her back. Ladybug sudden felt herself become weaker and her powers draining. She fell onto her knees and tried to use her yo-yo, but it wasn't working. She even glanced around to see if her Ladybug vision was working, but nothing. And she could barely move due to being drained.

Hawkmoth was enjoying the show, feeling the despair of Ladybug losing her powers. He grinned in triumph since he finally had Ladybug where he wanted her. Yet, he had no signs of Cat Noir. He needed both their Miraculouses. But for now, Ladybug was powerless. He'll settle for hers and force her to tell him where her partner could be hiding.

"Mystique, take Ladybug's Miraculous and then make her tell you where Cat Noir is," He ordered.

"Yes, Hawkmoth," Mystique had slowly approached Ladybug who was a sitting duck. "Ladybug, it's over. Hand me over your Miraculous and tell me where your partner is."

"I have no idea where Cat Noir is, he should be here soon enough. But I'll give you my Miraculous only if you let Adrien and the others go first!"

"You don't get to make deals here," Mystique seethed.

"Mystique, heed her demand, after all, she's powerless. There is nothing she can do at this point." Hawkmoth ordered.

"Fine…"

Mystique had released the hostages she had including Adrien. The other freed students had fled. Adrien noticed that Ladybug seemed to be in trouble. He quickly went to go transform. Mystique walked over to Ladybug as she used her scepter to capture in one the crystal cocoons.

"Just so you don't try any funny tricks," Mystique grinned.

"Mystique, what you doing? Get her Miraculous!" Hawkmoth urged.

"Relax, Hawkmoth, she's powerless, remember?" Mystique told him. "After all, I need some type of hostage so that Cat Noir can easily give up his Miraculous."

"Very well, you are right. There is no way this plan can fail."

The other students that were hiding had watched the demise of Ladybug quickly unfolding. They felt helpless that there wasn't anything to do to help her without risking the safety of themselves in the processes. Even though they would do anything for Ladybug, they knew this villain was not like the others.

"We need to help, Ladybug," Alya said to Nino who was hiding in the same spot behind the DJ stand.

"But how, that villain is no joke…" Nino sighed.

Chloe was hiding behind one of the pillars as she watched the struggling fight of Ladybug go on.

"Where is that useless partner of a Cat to help her out." Chloe scoffed.

Luka was hiding under another table where the punch was as he scanned around to come up with a plan to help Ladybug. He didn't see her partner at all which was strange.

"I need a plan, I can't just charge in there or I'll be like the others," Luka stated.

"Perhaps I can be some assistance…" An unfamiliar voice had stated to Luka.
