It was the weekend after the first day of school. School had been going pretty great for the rest of the week. No accidents or incidents and Adrien and Marinette had caught up in Mrs. M's Class. Marinette was just sitting in her room thinking about the giant monster which had just invaded Paris. She had seen it all over the news. A rock monster was on a rampage and was looking for Kim. Marinette thought it was weird but she thought the voice kind of sounded like Ivan. She was thinking over this when suddenly she found a little black box in her bag. She didn't recognize it as something she had bought. When she opened it she expected to see an empty box but instead found something much cooler. A shiny light came flying out at her and she hurled the box across the room. A kwami known as Tikki flew out. Marinette freaked out.

"AHHHHHHH! It's a giant bug! Or a mouse! It's a bug mouse!" She screamed. Tikki flew closer to her as she threw any items she could get her hands on towards the kwami.

"Don't be afraid. My name isn't Tikki. I'm your kwami," she said calmy. Marinette screamed again.

"AAAHHHHHH! The bug mouse can talk!" She yelled. She reached for a cup and covered the captured the kwami.

"That's okay. We can talk this way if it makes you more comfortable. I'm Tikki," she said. Marinette calmed down slightly and listened. "I am the kwami of the ladybug miraculous. You have been chosen as the new holder. You will fight crime as a superhero and save Paris from Hawkmoth's evil." Marinette was super confused and totally in over her head.

"I can't fight crime and who's hawkmoth? Is he that giant rock monster? I can't stop him!" She kept yelling. Her breathing became heavy and she could barely think. "How am I am going to defeat him? I can't... you'll have to choose someone else. I can't do it." She said.

"Marinette, I beleive in you. Please the fate of Paris rests on your shoulders," Tikki said. Marinette nodded.

"Okay but let me go tell my parents where I'm going. I'll be right back," she answered. Tikki raced her to the door.

"NOOOO!" She yelled. "No one can know your secret identity. Not even your parents! Do you promise to keep it a secret?" She asked.

"Well," Marinette started. She saw the fear in Tikki's eyes. "Okay. I promise." Tikki gave her a mini high five and explained how to transform. "Spots on!" She yelled quietly. She transformed in a glowing vortex of magic and was now dressed as Ladybug. "Woah," she said surprised at her new look. "Tikki, um Tikki! Where are you?" She yelled. She looked herself over in the mirror and examined her gadgets. She opened a phone and saw 'Chat Noir' on speed dial. She wondered who he was but didn't waste too much time thinking about it. Paris was in trouble and it was her job to rescue it, she just didn't know how. She saw Alya on screen on tv and decided she would have to save her.

Meanwhile At The Agreste Mansion:

Adrien was also watching news about the attack on Paris and when he looked down he noticed a black box identical to Marinette's sitting on his table. He opened it and out popped a yawning kwami. He was much less freaked out about it but was still shocked when the floating little black cat gazed around the room.

"Cool it's like a genie in a lamp," Adrien said after recovering from the shock of a magical creature coming out of a box.

"I've met the guy. So he grants wishes. I'm way more personable," he said flying around the room. "So got anything to eat? I'm starved!" He went around looking for food and knocking things down in the process while he hurriedly explained the situation to Adrien. Adrien was chasing after him trying to catch everything he knocked down. He finally caugh that kwami between his hands.

"I'm still confused about what you are," he said.

"Look I'm a kwami. I grant powers. Yours is the power of distraction. Got it?" He asked sarcastically.

"Uh uh," he said shaking his head. He was thoroughly confused.

"Good now transform," he said.

"So what you're telling me is I'm a superhero! That is so awesome but... I don't think my father will allow that," he sad sadly. Plagg rolled his eyes.

"that's the best part about being a superhero. No one knows who you are!" He said. "Now say claws out and transform."

"Claws out!" He yelled. He jumped into an action pose and transformed as easily if he had been doing it for years. It was like he was born to be a hero. "So cool!" He shouted staring at his reflection. He hopped out the window and went to find Stone Heart. Plagg hadn't explained a lot but he had told him his mission. Defeat the monster and save Paris. Couldn't be that hard. He searched around his home and tested a few of his powers. He found an expanding stick and was walking between buildings when suddenly out of the sky came another superhero. She fell right on top of him and they got tangled in her super yo-yo hanging upside down together.

"OMG! I'm so sorry. I'm just learning," she said. They untangled themselves and got to the ground.

"you must be the partner my kwami told me about," he said. "I'm Chat Noir and you are?" He asked.

"I'm M...m..m madly clumsily. I'm sorry again," she said mumbling.

"Well clumsy girl it's okay I'm just learning the ropes too." He jumped onto a building and was about to run off when Marinette stopped him.

"Where are you going?" She yelled

"to find that monster and save Paris right?" He answered and ran back to the buildings. She reluctantly followed. When she arrived she saw Alya there. She knew Alya was interested in heroes but she didn't know she'd be willing to risk her life. She was videotaping while Chat Noir struggled to subdue the monster. Every time he hit him he got bigger and stronger. He was destroying Chat. Alya then spotted Ladybug.

"Hey bug lady aren't you gonna help him?" She yelled. Marinette was shaking but she wouldn't step down. She had to protect Alya and the rest of Paris while she was at it. Tikki had told her she had to break the thing that held the butterfly thing. She couldn't remember what it was called. All she knew was that it was important. She jumped into action next to Chat's side.

"Nice for you to show up," he joked. She laughed at his cliche. He was about to run towards the monster again but Ladybug grabbed his tail before he could get any far.

"Haven't you noticed? He gets bigger each time you attack," she whispered. He smiled.

"Well then I guess it's time to whip out my special power. Cataclysm!" He yelled. Sparkly black dots floated above his paws. He reached for a nearby soccer net to test his abilities. The net instantly turned black and shattered into millions of pieces. "So cool!" He ran off to defeat the monster.

"Wait Chat stop!" She yelled. She knew he couldn't use his ability more than once. He was too far to hear her. He reached for the monster and realized his power wasn't working.

"Uh oh," he yelled as he was kicked across the soccer field all the way to Ladybug. Hawkmoth grinned at how well his plan was going.

"Didn't your kwami tell you you could only use your power once? And now you only have five minutes before you change back!" Ladybug scolded. Chat flashed an innocent smile.

"I was kind of excited," he said.

"I guess it's up to me then. Lucky Charm!" She yelled. Out of thin air a ladybug print appeared. Ladybug was confused and Chat just grunted.

"Some special power," he said sarcastically. Ladybug scanned their surroundings and realized the akuma was hidden in Stone Heart's fist. She tied the water hose to the suit and picked up Chat.

"You're just gonna have to trust me," she said flinging him towards the monster.

"THIS GIRL'S CRAZY!" He yelled as he swung through the air and was snatched by Stone Heart. Hawkmoth was surprised by how easy this was. Then Ladybug ran towards Stone Heart herself. She leaped into the air.

"Catch!" She yelled. Stone Heart was forced to let go of his fist to catch her and this was exactly what she wanted. "Alya, the hose!" She screamed. Alya who had been recording the whole time ran to the faucet and turned it on full blast. Ladybug was holding the suit and when it expanded she was sent flying into the air. She ripped the crumpled paper and a gorgeous purple butterfly flew away. Ivan was turned back to normal and left confused out of his mind. Chat was impressed. She thought Ladybug was crazy amazing. He didn't know who she was but whoever she was he loved her.

"Pound it!" The team said in unison as they shared their first fist bump. This would become a tradition after every fight. Chat's ring suddenly buzzed. Only one light remained lit. "You better go," said Ladybug. He smiled.

"I hope to do this again soon m'lady," he yelled as he scampered away.

"Not too soon I hope," she said to herself. She went home to find the news celebrating her victory. She had done it! This was amazing!

Meanehile in Adrien's Room:

Adrien was seeing his accomplishments praised on tv as well. Plagg was digging through his dinner. He picked up some fruit.

"Ew! What isn't this garbage!" He said.

"hey my personnel chef prepared that!" Adrien argued

"If you expect me to regain my energy after a transformation I'm going to need something more delicate," he said.

"Okay what do you want?" He asked

"Camembert," he said. Very soon his food arrived

"Camembert. All he eats is Camembert which means I'm gonna smell like stinky old cheese," said Adrien. Just then an alert on tv announced that all around Paris people were becoming still versions of Stone Heart. None of them moving but the threat of them coming to life still remained. Adrien and Marinette saw the alert and realized they had done something wrong but what?
