"I suggest you let the Mayor go before you're pushing up daisies with the rest of those who went against me," said Hawkmoth.

"And how are you going to do that all alone?" asked Ladybug.

"Who says I'm alone?" asked Hawkmoth. Heavily armored police then came forward, surrounding the heroes with their weapons held on them.

"Looks like you have no way out now," said Mayor Bourgeois while rushing to stand next to Hawkmoth.

"You can't keep this up forever, Hawkmoth, we will defeat you one of these days and take both you and the Mayor down," said Ladybug. Rena Rouge then used Mirage to cover their escape.

"Aren't you going to go after them?!" asked Mayor Bourgeois.

"We aren't able to track them now, and you need to do damage control," said Hawkmoth as he motioned to the news cameras that had caught everything along with a decently sized crowd that had gathered.

"Great," said Mayor Bourgeois. Back at the hangout, the four were in the office where Marinette was furious.

"Damn it!" said Marinette as she punched the metal table, denting it in the process.

"He was right there, we finally had Hawkmoth right in front of us and we ran like cowards with our tails tucked between our legs!" she said.

"We'll get him, Mari," said Alya.

"But we can't do that when we're so outnumbered," she said.

"Yeah, he can't always have all of those cops with him," said Adrien.

"I don't want to catch him at some point in the future, I wanted him years ago!" said Marinette.

"Alright, am I missing something here?" asked Adrien.

"Because I hate Hawkmoth too but you seem to have something personal with him," he said.

"Hawkmoth is the one who sent the man that killed my parents," said Marinette before she stormed out of the room.

"Tom and Sabine were leading a campaign to remove Mayor Bourgeois from office but that would have also exposed Hawkmoth in the process," said Nino.

"So ten years ago, Hawkmoth sent one of his goons to their home, Marinette was at my house at the time or else she would have been killed that night too," said Alya.

"Alright, this just got more personal for me," said Adrien.
