Fifteen minutes earlier-current time
Marinette heard a shriek cut through the air. Crystal made an excuse and left. Marinette waited until Chris had left the house for certain then ran back down to her room. She let Tikki out.
"Tikki! Spots on!" Tikki went into Marinette's earrings, which turned from black to red with ladybug spots, and she turned into the city famous superhero, Ladybug.
She jumped off of her balcony and over the rooftops to where the commotion was going on. Ladybug saw two villains, one was a boy and the other was a girl. They had been akumatized.
"Hello, my Lady." Ladybug almost jumped at the sound of her partner, Cat Noir's voice.
"Please don't startle me like that again." Ladybug said.
"Oh, I started you. I guess I'll try not to it you don't want me to." Cat said as he joined Ladybug. They jumped in front of the two kids that had been akumatized. The two kids laughed and jumped towards the two heroes. Ladybug and Cat Noir knocked back their opponents and got ready to strike again.
The akumatized girl whispered something in the other's ear and they took off running. Ladybug and Cat Noir ran after them. The kids led them into the park. They laughed and suddenly about half a dozen of each of the kids appeared and surrounded Ladybug and Cat Noir.
"Any ideas?" Cat asked.
"I don't know. Why not try to just get rid of the copies?" Ladybug said back. Cat shrugged and the two ran at the duplicates of the kids.
