By then, Marinette noticed how Chat had been going back and forth with his transformations. She couldn't figure out why this was happening. Why Chat? How? Marinette looked at him dumbfounded, " Wh-what are you talking about? Who saved you?"

"Why of course, Hawkmoth." Chat Noir proudly stated with a grin on his face.

The words she heard come out of Chat's mouth made her eyes widen. Still stuck and numb from what was going on, Marinette couldn't do anything but watch what he was about to do to her. Chat Noir walks closer to Marinette and transforms back into Chat Blanc. There became a mix of fear and sadness in her eyes. Seeing Chat Noir transform into Chat Blanc made Marinette feel like she had failed to protect her partner, her friend. Chat uses his staff to lift the car, then twirls it and tucks it back into his belt. He bends down and releases the akuma he the weight now off of her, she came crashing back to reality.

"This is not you, Hawkmoth akumatized you." Marinette tried to convince Chat.

"I was told you're the one who hurt me. This is your fault."

"Chat noir, I know you're still in there. Please come back." She started to plead, she would do anything to bring back her Chat Noir.

Chat started to get annoyed by her prattle. A familiar purple outline of a butterfly appeared on his face and a deep voice in his head spoke to him, "Bring her to me." He picks her up roughly without hesitation and says to the defenseless girl , "Goodnight, My Lady." He hits the pressure point on the back of her neck and Marinette was instantly knocked out.

Marinette wakes up and suddenly they were back in the room where Adrien had woken up before. She sees Chat standing next to her.

"What he's been telling you are lies, I did nothing to hurt you." Marinette tried to convince him.

"Shut up!" He started to yell. "You know nothing about him!"

"Chat, you have to snap out of it. You can't trust him, he's our enemy. Please trust me, Chat." She reaches out to hold his hand, but he slaps it away.

"I think you're the one who has to snap out of it, Ladybug. Don't worry.. he'll fix your miraculous for you." Chat said as a sinister smile formed. "Soo we'll be partners again... partners in crime, my lady."

Hawkmoth became aware of a ruckus in the room above him, Chat Noir must have returned with the girl. The side of his mouth curved up, he was pleased. Chat Noir was smart enough to tie her up so she wouldn't be able to escape. The man entered the room, holding a strange device containing Ladybug's earrings.

She gasps, "Those are mine!"

"And so they are. It seems that you're Ladybug then." Marinette could see that they were hers, but she couldn't see the color from afar. Hawkmoth was glad to find out her identity. He made sure Ladybug was watching what he was about to do. Her earrings, instead of red with black dots, were now white with black dots. Chat Blanc puts them on Ladybug, but she tries to avoid it. Marinette shut her eyes tight, she couldn't believe this was happening. Tikki flies out of her purse and all Marinette could think to do was to transform now that she had her earrings. "Mari-!" Tikki wanted to warn her but Marinette cut her off, "Tikki, spots on!"

She transformed and Marinette stopped struggling, she calmed down.

The duo was no longer Ladybug and Chat Noir… Paris no longer has anyone to save them from evil.

And thus became a start of a new era… the era of Lady Blanc and Chat Blanc.
