Marinette and Adrien ran back to the school as fast as they could, getting used to their new outfits. "I feel much more flexible in this than I do my other outfit," said Adrien. "I think I like the old one better, but I don't exactly have a choice now," lamented Marinette. As the two jumped from rooftop to rooftop, Marinette and Adrien saw the villain from afar. "There he is!" pointed Adrien. "Let's get him!" He attempted to leap off, before Marinette stopped him.
"We can't go rushing in without a plan, especially since we're not using our normal weapons. We need to think up something first." "Did you have something in mind?" said Adrien. "Well, the Desperado can home in on the opponent, so if you can distract him long enough for me to land a shot, then we can shoot him down," explained Marinette. "But what about the akuma?" "We'll figure that out later. If we can bring him down, then we can tie him up with something and hope we find our Miraculouses to fix everything."
Meanwhile, Joe and Silvia were flying through the skies of Paris. "I could get used to this!" Silvia said excitedly. "I know, right? I almost don't wanna give these back to Marinette and Adrien!" agreed Joe. Silvia shot him a look. "Kidding, kidding," said Joe. When the two saw the school was within distance, they stopped. "We need a plan," Silvia said. "We can't use our normal powers, so we'll have to make do with these." She looked at her yo-yo. "If Marinette can use this to drag someone down, then I don't see why I can't either. You distract him, so I can latch onto him and bring him down." "You got it!" Joe cracked his knuckles and leapt away.
Adrien and Joe lept from building to building, not knowing what the other's plan was. When both of them were within distance of Alastor, they both initiated an attack: Adrien, with a Red Hot Kick, and Joe, with his staff. Alastor noticed both of them, and quickly flew up to avoid getting hit; this resulted in Adrien and Joe crashing into each other and falling down. Both rubbed their heads from the impact, and looked at each other angrily and shouted, "hey, watch where you're going!" before realizing who the other was. "Adrien?" asked Joe. "Joe?" asked Adrien. Hawk Moth, very much aware of the situation, commented, "That's not the real Cat Noir...and why is Adrien dressed up like the red one from before?"
Silvia and Marinette came running up to them, and, after realizing what had happened, they too had the same level of shock that Joe and Adrien had. Before they could say anything, however, they looked up to see that Alastor was about to attack. "Run!" Adrien shouted, and the four bolted into the school. They went into a side room to keep themselves hidden from the open roof school. "What are you doing with our Miraculouses?" asked Marinette. "I could say the same thing about our V-Watches!" retorted Silvia. Joe and Adrien, sensing danger brewing, backed up slowly. Finally, Joe spoke. "When we woke up from being blown away by that tornado, our V-Watches were missing, but Silvia found your earrings and your ring! We knew we had to defeat Alastor, so we borrowed them just for the time being!" Adrien nodded. "That's what happened to us - we woke up, and we found your V-Watches!" Marinette and Silvia looked at each other and sighed. "This was all a big misunderstanding - no one stole anything from anyone. So how about we give everyone back their-"
Suddenly, the door burst open, and Alastor tauntingly said, "Found you!" The four quickly left the room. "We'll deal with what belongs to who later," said Marinette. "But right now, we need to take this guy down!" She held up one of the Desperado instinctively, as if to use Lucky Charm, and then remembered that it wasn't her yo-yo. "Oh...right." She instead took aim with it, and attempted to shoot Alastor down. However, Alastor was too quick for her, and dodged every shot. Frustrated, she pulled out the other of the two, and fired some more, to no avail. Meanwhile, Joe launched his staff, making it extend, and it landed on a piece of the building that fell; he leaped on the end in the air just as Adrien landed on the end on the ground, and Adrien was launched into the air, in position to attack Alastor, and fired off a Shocking Pink Bomb at him. In an attempt to avoid both the firing from Marinette and the bomb from Adrien, he flew backwards, but Silvia, who had moved to behind him, kicked him in the back by surprise, knocking him into both the bomb and the firing. Alastor, annoyed at the thought of losing, flew up into the air again, and declared, "This isn't over! I WILL be victorious in this ultimate battle!" He then conjured up large clouds around the school, with thunder booming from all directions. "This is really bad!" said Adrien, horrified at the site. "What are we gonna do?!" asked Joe.
