Joe and Silvia woke up, after having been knocked out from landing after being launched by the tornado. "What...happened?" Silvia asked Joe. "We're...back to normal?" "I...guess so...hey…! Where's my V-Watch?!" Joe started to panic. Without their V-Watches, they couldn't fight regularly, much less defeat Alastor. "WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?! Whatarewegonnadowhatarewegonnadowhatarewegonnadooooooooooo?!" Joe started to panic. Silvia, however, had taken notice to something. "Joe, look!" Joe stopped panicking and looked to where Silvia was pointing. There, on the ground, were Marinette's earrings and Adrien's ring. "It's their Miraculouses!" Joe said. "They're the things that transform Marinette and Adrien, right?" Silvia confirmed. Joe nodded, then quickly realized something. "If we can't use our V-Watches," he said while walking over to pick up the ring, "then I'm sure Marinette and Adrien wouldn't mind if we used these." Silvia pondered the thought. "Come on, Silvia, we don't really have a choice. Alastor's out there destroying the city, and we have to put a stop to him, no matter what." Silvia nodded. "You're right. Let's put these to good use!"
She picked up the earrings and put them on, while Joe put on the ring. Tikki and Plagg came out, and quickly realized that these two were not Marinette and Adrien. "Tikki! Plagg! We need your help!" Silvia said. "Our V-Watches have disappeared, but we found the Miraculouses instead," Joe explained. "You have to let us use Marinette and Adrien's powers for the time being! We have to put a stop to Alastor!"
Tikki flew up to Silvia and asked, "Are you sure you're able to handle it? The Miraculous's powers are, well...miraculous!" Plagg reassuringly said, "If they can handle their own power, then I'm sure they can handle this." Joe and Silvia nodded in agreement. "We can handle it," they said in sync. Tikki nodded in affirmation.
"Good, then all you need to do to use the powers of Ladybug is say the words "Spots on!" Then, you'll transform into Ladybug." Silvia nodded. "Tikki, spots on!" she exclaimed, and transformed into Ladybug. She held her yo-yo and lamented, "It's not exactly like my gun, but it'll do." Joe looked at Plagg and said, "I know how this goes. Plagg, claws out!" Joe then transformed into Cat Noir. The two then headed out into Paris to find their powered-up enemy.
Meanwhile, Marinette and Adrien woke up as well, after being knocked out themselves from landing after being launched by the tornado. "Ugh...what happened?" Marinette said. "I think we got launched by that tornado and were knocked out cold," said Adrien. He put his hand up to his face out of exhaustion, and quickly realized something. "My ring! Where's my ring?!" he exclaimed. Marinette checked her ears. "My earrings are gone too!" "We can't fight Alastor without our Miraculouses!" Adrien panicked. Shortly after, however, he caught sight of something on the ground. "Is that…?" he said while walking towards the object. Marinette quickly remembered. "That's Joe and Silvia's V-Watches!" she exclaimed. They picked up the items. "Well, if we're going to defeat Alastor, we'll have to use these for now," Adrien said. "But we still have to get the akuma!" Marinette said. "Without Ladybug's powers, I can't purify the akuma and bring everything back to normal! You remember what happened that one time." Adrien nodded. "Well, then we'll look for them in the city. We still can't leave Alastor unattended, though." "You're right," Marinette agreed.
"So, uh...how do we use these?" "Well, do you remember what Joe and Silvia did? They posed, and said:" Adrien stopped to pose. "Henshin-a-go-go, baby!" Adrien then gained Joe's superhero outfit. "Ooh, I like that! I guess that makes you Viewtiful Adrien now!" Marinette said. "Now you try," Adrien said. Marinette cleared her throat and posed. "Henshin-a-go-go, baby!" she exclaimed, and gained Silvia's outfit. "Cool! Then that means you're-"
The author of the story quickly realized something: they couldn't use the word "sexy" to describe someone like Marinette. That would be way too inappropriate. They thought up a list of adjectives to describe a good-looking female, in order to find a more suitable word for Marinette, and continued writing.
"-Pretty Marinette!" said Adrien. "Pretty Marinette, huh? Has a nice ring to it!" Marinette agreed. "Now let's go get our Miraculouses back!" The two headed off into the city.
Max and Markov, meanwhile, were continuing to work on the portal. Other students had taken shelter in the lab, and some admired how quickly Max and Markov were working. In just a matter of minutes, Max had built a simple device. "This device will allow us to pinpoint the universe that Joe and Silvia came from. From there, we can build the portal to connect to its exact location in the multiverse, and, once the akuma has been purified and everything's been returned to normal, we can send our new friends back to their home!"
He used the device to scroll through a multitude of universes. He passed by many universes: a universe with a group of high school girls accompanied by both a white and a black cat; a universe with a girl in a green dress and a boy in a red hoodie; a universe with a young boy fighting alongside a purple and dark red figure, a lavender figure, and a white and blue figure; a universe with a white dog with red markings on her; a universe where a white-haired man in a red outfit was fighting against a white-haired man in a blue outfit; a universe with a blue robot fighting a robot that looked like a tree; but no luck of finding the one he was looking for. Suddenly, Kim pointed and said, "That one! That's their universe!"
"Are you sure?" Max asked. "Of course! I'd recognize that location anywhere. That is definitely Joe's universe," Kim confirmed. Max nodded, and proceeded to write down the universe's coordinates. "Now that we've got our location, it's time to go to work. Everyone in here, if we want to get this done as quickly as possible, we'll all need to work together. Who's ready to do some science?"
