While the Miraculous Heroes are waiting outside in front of the school, they see Marinette walking to the school, humming a catchy ditty with a skip in her step, "Whoa, looks like someone woke up on the right side of the bed today." Alya commented with a grin.
"And right on time for a change," Molly said as she crossed her arms, "Good night yesterday?" She asked.
"What do you think?" Marinette asked as she smiled, "School's almost over, we got all the Miraculous back and I'm finally together with Adrien!" She cheered.
"Yeah, it's not like the last word you said would make you even happier," Sam said with a smirk, "You know, you two had it out since day one, who knew that the end of the school year would be the when you two finally make yourselves clear to each other?" He wondered.
"I know, right!" Marinette cheered while holding a bag.
"Is that your lunch, Marinette?" Juleka asked.
"Nope, these are for Adrien! I packed some for him before I left," Marinette explained while holding the bag.
Daniel then saw someone behind Marinette and he gave a smirk, "Well, you're in luck, because here comes your kitty cat now," He said while pointing behind Marinette.
Marinette turned and saw Adrien walking up, "Adrien," She said as she walked up to him.
"Marinette," Adrien greeted back as the baker girl held up the bag to him.
"Chouquettes?" Marinette offered.
"Thank you," Adrien accepted.
The two stood there looking at each other in the eyes warmly as they leaned in for a kiss but leaned back from each other with chuckles and blushes as they repeated the process while the others watched in amusement, annoyance, and/or repulse.
"How can they still get it wrong? It's not like it's complicated," Rose asked in confusion.
"For these two, it is," Alya said with a small smile. "It's very complicated,"
Jacob rubbed his face, "Seriously for these, trying to kiss is like trying to perfectly replicate the Mona Lisa." He commented.
"That, and these two are still finding the moment for it to happen, unlike the other times," Kara added while shaking her head.
Rose groaned in annoyance as she walked up to the two love birds, "You two, that's enough. Do it!" She demanded.
Adrien and Marinette then turned to her in confusion, "Wh-What are you talking about, Rose?" Marinette asked.
"The kiss," Rose said with a raise of her arms, "The wonderful act that will seal the eternal love between the cutest sweethearts ever. The sweethearts we've been waiting for," She explained with a determined simple. "So, you two kiss now. Or I will kiss you both," She warned with her arms crossed.
"She knows that it would just be weird, right?" Sam asked the others with a brow.
They just shrugged, "Just roll with it," Marc advised.
"It's nice you to support us, Rose, but we're waiting for the right time," Adrien explained as he held Marinette's hands. "Aren't we, Marinette?" He asked with a flirting smile.
"Oh, you said it so well," Marinette said with the same expression, "You're perfect, Adrien, as always."
"No, you are," Adrien said.
"No, you are," Marinette repeated.
"No, you are perfect," Adrien said.
"No, you are perfect," Marinette repeated.
"No, you,"
"No, you,"
The team all gave annoyed expressions while Marinette and Adrien kept going back and forth, "You know, I'm starting to miss the days when they weren't a couple," Kim said while pinching his nose.
"Ditto," Jacob said while rubbing his head.
"Oh, you're so cute," Rose said sweetly with a heart shape with her hands before she gave an annoying look, "But so irritating too," She stated as she gave a smile.
"Hey, Romeo and Juliet!" Daniel called out, which snapped Adrien and Marinette out of their little word, "If you two are finished with your love story, we have classes to get to," He reminded them, pointing to his watch, "Know what they say, the early hero gets the Akuma,"
"I don't think they say that dude," Nino said in confusion.
"It's an expression, Nino. Get in the game," Daniel said as he walked into school, "But seriously, we got to get to class, so we better get going," He said.
"He's right, we better get going," Molly said as they all rushed into the school before the bell rang.
In their classroom, the Zodiacs listen to their teacher speak their lesson for today before they hear some arguing that is going on in the hallways as it brings the whole class' attention.
"What is going on out there?" Kara asked.
Daniel furrowed his brow, recognizing the voices, "Don't know, but I'm gonna find out," Daniel said before raising his hand, "May I be excused?" He asked.
"Of course, Daniel, but be back before the lesson is over," The teacher advised.
"Don't worry, I will," Daniel said as he stood up and walked out of the classroom while following the voices and turned to Ms. Bustier's room. "Oh boy, if it's going on in Ms. Bustier's room, it must be bad," He said as he walked to the classroom.
Once he got close to the door it swung open, he was shocked to see the last person in the whole world to be in the school, it was Chloe's mother, Audrey Bourgeois, "Chloe's mother?"!" He exclaimed in shock.
Audrey stopped as she turned to Daniel at the entrance, "And who are you be, ruffian?" She demanded rudely.
"Firstly, that's rude to say to someone you just met them, and secondly, the name's Daniel Strider," Daniel said seriously. "You know, your Daughter's girlfriend?"
Audrey just scoffed at that, "Oh, as if my daughter would be seeing something as poor as you are," She waved off.
"Seriously, how heartless are you?" Daniel asked in slight irritation. "You met me the other day." He reminded her.
"Wait, you mean during the time when you, Zoe, and that baker girl came into my hotel or was it during the time when you walked her to school?" Audrey questioned.
"Both," Daniel growled with narrowed eyes.
"Well, this doesn't concern you, I was just telling this teacher how my daughter has not been acting like herself for a while," Audrey said while giving a look back at Ms. Bustier.
"What are you getting at?" Daniel questioned.
"This doesn't concern…" Audrey was cut off when Daniel raised his hand.
"Shut it, how what's this gotta do with Chloe not acting like you? Because right now, your reason for being here isn't unnecessary," Daniel pointed out with a firm look. "So I suggest you leave so we can get back to work,"
"Oh, and what are you gonna do about it? You're just a nobody," Audrey said rudely while pointing a finger at her.
Daniel glared at her for a bit before he smacked her hand away, "Just because you own many businesses doesn't mean you get to tell people for who they are," He firmly said.
"Oh, how dare you…" Audrey tried to say but was cut off again.
"I dare to someone who is a snob, manipulative, bossy mother who thinks she can get what she wants," Daniel retorted. "Just goes to show that you being here thinking you own the place,"
"Oh, but I do own it, my husband's the mayor of course. So technically, it's my school too," Audrey said while looking at her fingers.
"No, it isn't!" Marinette yelled out from the classroom as she stood up from her seat. "You don't know this school and you have no business coming here! So why don't you just leave?!"
"Why don't you just sit down, baker girl? The people are talking," Audrey rudely said.
"No, I will not, because you are not the boss of us, so you couldn't fire or tell us what to do!" Marinette yelled as the others all spoke up in agreement, while Ms. Bustier kept silent but in agreement.
Audrey scoffed at them, "You are all ridiculous, utterly ridiculous! Come, Chloe, we're leaving!" She demanded to her daughter.
Chloe glared at her mother before she closed her eyes and looked away with her chin up, "No!" She retorted.
Aundrey was shocked by what her daughter said, "No?!" She questioned.
"I am not leaving, mother!" Chloe retorted firmly.
"Little Lady, I am your mother, and you will do as I-" Audrey was cut off when Ms. Bustier stepped between her and Chloe.
"Mrs. Bourgeois, perhaps we should take this to the principal's office?" Ms. Bustier suggested with a firm look.
Audrey growled as she turned to her daughter, "This isn't over," She hissed as she and Ms. Bustier exited the room and to the principal's office while the group sighed.
"No offense, Chloe, but your mother is really a jerk," Max commented.
"Trust me, she's the worst," Chloe said in agreement, "At first she just brushed things off, but now she's starting to notice my change in attitude. I'm just surprised it took her this long to notice," She said.
"More like she cared to notice," Alya snarked.
"Well, let's hope that Ms. Bustier and Principal Damocles can deal with her. Because I'm near punching those shades off her face," Daniel said while clutching his fist.
"I'm sure they have it covered," Adrien assured them with a small smile, "I mean, what can go wrong?"
A few minutes later, it all went wrong, Audrey somehow got both Daniel and Marinette expelled and that wasn't even the worst of it.
"What do you mean you're fired?!" Daniel asked Ms. Bustier in shock, "You didn't do anything wrong!"
"I know, but apparently, Audrey didn't even take no for an answer," Ms. Bustier said as she started packing her things and tears started forming in her eyes.
"Now I'm really steamed!" Daniel called out with his fist clenched, "Not only did he get me and Marinette expelled for no reason, but she made you, the best and nicest teacher to be fired just because you were doing your job!? That's crossing the line!" He exclaimed.
Daniel was so angry that it attracted a familiar black and purple butterfly to him as it entered his watch and corrupted it. "Daniel!" Ms. Bustier cried in worry.
Monarch's mask appeared over Daniel as he gasped in shock, "Judgement King, I'm Monarch. You and those like you have fallen victim to a corrupt system. But I am offering you the power to avenge this injustice," He said through his head.
Daniel grunted as he clutched his head, "No, no way!" He yelled as he tried to fight the akumatization.
"What do you mean, 'No way?'" Monarch questioned.
"I won't let a villain like you use me just so you can't some earrings and a ring!" Daniel yelled as he kept clutching his head.
"But think of those you care about? They were unjustly robbed of their futures by man's heartless wife, is it truly fair for them to suffer because of her?" Monarch questioned as Daniel struggled to resist his words, losing grip of his anger.
Ms. Bustier held his shoulders, "Daniel! Try to calm down! You're in control of your emotions, not Monarch, you have the power to choose what's right." Ms. Bustier told him.
"I-I don't know if I can!" Daniel strained as he still clutched his head.
"Just think positive thoughts! Think about your friends, your family, the girl you love!" Ms. Bustier encourage. "Think of the promises you kept for them! Don't let Monarch take that from you!" She said.
Daniel clutched his head as he thought back to the times he first became Dragold and met his friends, their battles against Akumas, rescuing the Kwamis and rebuilding their team, getting Marinette and Adrien together, and the happy moments he shared with Chloe and his first kiss with her.
Daniel opened his eyes with a determined expression as he took a deep breath and calmed down, "You're right, Monarch. I do want justice, but I don't want it through your means. So I'm gonna do things my way, and without your powers!" He said as he narrowed his eyes, "So all I have to say to you is, get out of my head!" He yelled as Monarch's mask shattered, causing the Akuma to fly out his watch and purify.
Daniel panted as he leaned against the table and looked at Ms. Bustier, "Thanks Ms. B," He said with a smile.
Ms. Bustier gave a small smile, "You're welcome, Daniel. And don't worry, I'm sure we'll find a way for all of this," She assured.
"You're the best teacher there is, Ms. B. And I promise, we won't let you down," Daniel vowed.
"I know you won't," Ms. Bustier said as she and Daniel walked out of the classroom.
The students of the school all stood at the entrance of the school as they watched sadly at Ms. Bustier heading out with a woman waiting at her motorcycle the former teacher sighed sadly and walked up to her.
The woman gave a glare as she began to walk up to the school, "Just let me have a word with that principal of yours," She said before Bustier grabbed her arm.
"It wouldn't do any good, Gisele," Ms. Bustier said before turning to her students, "Besides, I'm sure we'll find a solution. I won't let you down," She promised.
Daniel gave a determined look, "You can count on us Ms. Bustier. We won't let you down here," He said as they all nodded in agreement as they watched Ms. Bustier and Gisele climbed on the bike and drove off.
At the Miraculous Den, the heroes were talking to Daniel about what happened while he was with Ms. Bustier, "You almost got Akumatized?!" They all exclaimed in shock.
Daniel rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, and gotta say, that felt on so many levels of wrong." He commented.
"Joined the club," Nino said in agreement while nearly everyone but Adrien and Marinette were akumatized.
"Trust us. It wasn't right the first time," Alya commented.
"And if it wasn't for Ms. Bustier, I guess I would've caused some trouble just trying to get back at your mother, Chloe," Daniel said while looking down in guilt.
"Hey, don't worry about it," Chloe assured while holding his hand, "At least you rejected it. That's all that matters,"
"But now Ms. Bustier, Daniel, and Marinette are all dismissed because of Audrey? We can't let that happen," Mylene called.
"There's only a few days left before the school year ends, Mylene," Marinette pointed out.
"We're just going to have to make the best of it," Daniel said crossing his arms, "It's too late to do anything about this now,"
"It's never too late for justice," Alya spoke with a determined look.
"Agreed, we have to do something, now," Felix added.
"But what about the end-of-the-year dance? It's the perfect time for kisses," Rose pointed out before she gasped in realization, "What are you both gonna do if you can't go?" She asked.
"No one can stop us from loving each other, Rose," Marinette said as she held Adrien's hand and they looked at each other with loving smiles.
"Awwww," Their friends all cooed at them from that while Adrien frowned in worry.
A little bit later, Daniel was on the main deck of the Houseboat, looking at the Seine in deep thought while the other heroes were below deck, still feeling weird when Monarch almost Akumatized him while also thinking about how Ms. Bustier was doing after Audrey got her fired and expelled him and Marinette.
"Hey, don't worry about it," Chloe said as she approached him, "The team won't give up until they find a solution."
"I hope so," Daniel said while still looking at the Seine, "Your mother really knows how to put a damper on the day." He sighed.
A cup of ice cream then blocked his view as he turned to Chloe holding her own, "Rose told me, that when life is sour, a little something sweet can turn it around for you," Chloe said with a smile.
Daniel gave a small smile as he accepted it, "Well, she isn't wrong. Rose is one of the sweets after all. Maybe she's a flavor of ice cream herself," He joked as the two chuckled.
"Yeah, that might be true," Chloe said as she gave a guilty look, "I'm sorry for what my mother did. I should've stood up to her sooner," She apologized.
"Hey, if I'm not at fault for getting Akumatized because of your mom, then you're not at fault for what she did either," Daniel said pulling her close to him, "And don't worry, we'll figure out something. And your mother will get what's coming, it's only a matter of time," He assured.
Chloe gave a smile, "You're right, soon, things will work out the way we hope they will," She said as the two leaned in and kissed.
But then Chloe's Alliance rang and Daniel's phone started ringing as well as they broke away, "Bad timing," Daniel muttered.
"Really bad timing," Chloe said as each of them brought out their devices and saw the Megakuma alert.
"Megakuma Alert! Megakuma Alert!" The devices said.
"Looks like Monarch found a suitable replacement for my emotions," Daniel commented.
"Yeah, but they probably aren't as handsome as you," Chloe said, giving Daniel a flirty smile.
"That is so true, beauty," Daniel replied with the same expression as he saw flashes of colors from the windows below deck, meaning the orders were already transforming, "We need to move, get home, and wait for me," He said to her.
"Be careful," Chloe said as she kissed his cheek and rushed back home as Huanglong appeared.
"You certainly have ways of words, Young Master," Huanglong said.
"It's a gift buddy. But no time for compliments, Huanglong, Heaven's Ascend!" Daniel exclaimed as he transformed into Dragold before he jumped off from the houseboat as the other heroes joined and they all rushed into the city.
A little bit later, the Miraculous Team all made it to city hall and they saw a villain in the Paris' flag color scheme with golden armor and a huge golden sword on a chain turning the security guards into talking balloons.
"Okay, this is weird. And that's a lot coming from us," Rena Rouge commented.
Cat Noir looked confused by this, "It's almost Bastille Day, guys?" He asked his friends. "Do any of you think this akumatized villain wants to celebrate the French Revolution early?" He asked them.
"Mostly, I think it's strange that Monarch would support a revolutionary," Ladybug said in surprise
Phoenix looked harder, "Wait, is it just me or does that Akuma look like she's pregnant?" She asked.
"Well, from that armor plate around her waist, I think she is pregnant," Terrapin answered before she widened her eyes in shock, "Wait, oh no, that's Ms. Bustier!" She exclaimed in shock.
The others gasped, "Monarch Akumatized her while she's pregnant?!" Vipereon asked.
"He must know we couldn't risk hurting her because her baby might survive!" Polymouse realized in worry.
"Okay, that's low, even for Monarch!" Caspian exclaimed in anger.
"Well, at least he has some mercy to protect a pregnant woman with armor to protect the baby," Carapace stated while gesturing to the armor around Ms. Bustier.
"Still, we gotta stop Ms. Bustier before someone else gets turned into a balloon!" Pigella exclaimed as they all jumped towards Ms. Bustier and stood in her way.
"Miraculous Heroes, help the sansculottes free Paris from its aristocratic Mayor," Ms. Bustier called out as the heroes dodged her sword strikes as the security guards ran for cover.
"Terror isn't a solution," Ladybug started.
"There are elections to make your voice heard," Cat Noir added.
"Or a revolution when everyone is corrupt. Nothing can stop freedom!" Ms. Bustier stated as she twirled her weapon around as the heroes dodged a swipe from her.
"Look we're all for the big dance and fireworks on July 14th," Caspian said as he, Purple Tigress, and Cat Noir charged at her,
"Yeah, but don't you think that's a lot, Miss Sans-Culotte?" Cat Noir asked as they dodged her sword.
"We get that what the Mayor did wasn't cool but you shouldn't force people to rise against him!" Purple Tigress stated.
"Just be careful she doesn't make you lose your heads, kitties!" Ladybug called out.
"We can't make heads or tails of her definition of justice," Cat Noir joked as they dodged another strike.
"Though, with how she's using my powers, using angry balloons as guards is new," Pigella commented while gesturing to the balloons around them glaring at them.
"Then let's try something else," Hydrake said as he turned to Ladybug, "Ladybug, give us a Lucky Charm," HE said.
"Got it. Lucky Charm!" Ladybug exclaimed as she tossed her yo-yo up as the lucky charm created a crown.
"A crown? For real?" Rooster Bold asked.
"I'm sensing a royal theme for today!" Ryuko said as she, Argos, Rooster Bold, and Terrapin jumped over a sword swing.
Ladybug looks at the crown, Miss Sans-Culotte, and city hall, "Revolution? Sans-Culotte? Mayor Bourgeois acting like the king of Paris, and maybe he should be removed from office after all," She said.
"Wait, are you saying we give this villain free rein?" Pegasus asked as he dodged another strike.
"I don't know how I feel about this, but if that's what the lucky charm means, I say we give it a shot," Dragold said in thought as they all stood together before he gasped in realization, "You're right, it's not up to us to decide who gets to be the mayor and who doesn't. An akumatized villain just needs to be de-akumatized," He said to Miss Sans-Culotte.
"Take care of them while I accomplish my mission," Miss Sans-Culotte ordered her balloons as they all charged at the heroes while trapping them in a pile as she laughed. "This is what happens when you hesitate. When faced with adversity, we must dare and dare again and go on daring," She said to them as she entered city hall.
"Okay, you gotta admit, for being akumatized, Ms. Bustier really knows how to say inspiring words," Minotaurox commented.
As they tried to push they're way through the balloons they saw someone run past them, towards city hall, someone they knew, "Chloe?" Vesperia said in surprise.
Miss Sans-Culotte entered City Hall and jumped to the upper levels, towards the Mayor's office. But just before she entered, Chloe charged in, "Ms. Bustier, stop! Please!" She called out as Ms. Bustier turned to her, "Daddy's made some mistakes, but, deep down, he's not a bad man!" She reasoned.
"I've tried to listen to people, to educate my students, to convince them with words," Miss Sans-Culotte listed out, "But we have to face the facts. There's only one thing that ever works: a revolution!" She exclaimed as she swung her weapon at Chloe.
Chloe braced herself from the strike before Vesperia came in and blocked the strike with her weapon as she stood up. "Give yourself one last chance. You're a teacher, aren't you?" She asked as Sans-Culotte retracted her weapon, "Then try to use your best weapon one last time," She encouraged as the other heroes came in.
"Your words," Dragold added, "Granted they might not work on everyone. But if this girl, who you were able to help change, is telling the truth, maybe it will work for the mayor as it did the same for her," He said as he smiled at Chloe and she returned the gesture.
"Mmm," Miss Sans-Culotte hummed as she thought of their words, seeing that they might be right.
As Miss Sans-Culotte marched in, the heroes surrounded at weapon point, in case she tried anything funny as they entered the office.
"Mr. Bourgeois, you cheated, lied, and used collusion," Sans-Culotte called out as she walked up towards Andre, "You must be accountable to the people and step down as mayor of Paris!"
However instead of denial or begging for forgiveness, what Andre said in response surprised even the heroes, "You're absolutely right! I should never have become mayor in the first place, and such an excellent teacher as you should never have been fired." He said in regret before smiling in determination and standing up, "So, we're going to fix this! By the powers vested in me, I now reinstate you to your position!" He declared without hesitation as they all gasped in surprise at his words as Chloe looked behind the door.
"And now, by powers vested in me, I fire myself from City Hall," Andre declared as he took off his sash and grabbed his old script as he began to walk out the door, "Ah! What a relief. I'll let you close the door on the way out. Goodbye," He said as he came next to Chloe and placed a hand on his daughter, "Let's go find your sister, Chloe. She will be happy to hear I finally have some time for you two," He said to her.
"Oh, trust me, Daddy. I think she already is," Chloe said, sending Vesperia a wink which she returned with a smile and the two Bourgeois walked out of the room.
Sans-Culotte gave a smile from this, "You were all right. Sometimes, a revolution can also be won with words," She said to the heroes as she focused and rejected the AMegakuma as she returned back to normal and the Akuma was purified as it flew away.
"Caline!" Gisele's voice called as they turned to the entrance.
"Gisele!" Ms. Bustier said as she came to her and the two kissed before they walked out hand in hand.
Caspian smiled, "Am I the only one still surprised Ms. Bustier is into women?" he asked jokingly.
"Shush you," Terrapin scolded playfully with a hip bump as Caspian raised his hand in surrender with a small smile.
"Pound it!" The heroes all exclaimed as Ladybug gave a confused look.
"It's weird. I didn't get to use the crown," Ladybug said in confusion as she looked at the crown, "The Lucky Charm always indicates the right way to defeat the villain."
"But you also use it to repair the damage," Cat Noir said with a smile.
Ladybug smiled, "Maybe you're right. Miraculous Ladybug!" She exclaimed as the magical ladybugs restored the damage and returned people who were turned into balloons back to normal.
The heroes smiled, "Heh, well that was pretty easy, anyone for the pool?" King Monkey asked.
The heroes all laughed at his joke while Dragold gave a thought, "Actually, this is way too easy. Even for Monarch standards," He said suspiciously.
"What do you mean, Dragold?" Hydrake asked.
"I mean, normally, when we defeat an Akumatized villain with reason, Monarch would try and trick them into thinking we're lying, but for some reason, Miss Sans-Culotte was pretty willing to accept our words without hesitation," Dragold explained, which got their attention.
"Yeah, I thought if Monarch wanted to defeat he would at least try better to convince Miss Sans-Culotte we were the bad guys," Ryuko said rubbing her chin before she gasped, "Unless she wasn't the Akuma Monarch was counting on," She guessed
"Wait, this was all just a setup?" Ms. Hound asked in confusion.
"But if Miss Sans-Culotte wasn't the real villain then who-" Caprikid tried to ask before another voice cut him off.
"Arress these ridiculous heroes!" Audrey's voice called out as she and some security drones with a news crew behind them as Ladybug gasped in realization when she noticed how the drones were arranged around the woman.
"The Lucky Charm wasn't for Ms. Sans-Culotte," Ladybug said seriously.
"It was a crown for the Queen of Mean, of course!" Argos exclaimed with a glare.
"These heroes have just helped a supervillain force my husband, the mayor of Paris, to resign," Audrey lied while looking at the news crew, "Lucky for us, I'm here to defend my husband and protect de- motra- mocracy," She tried to say before she listened to an earpiece on her ear and spoke, "De-mo-cra-cy," She finished.
The heroes glared at Audrey, "What are you talking about? The Mayor resigned of his own accord!" Viperion stated as he reached for his bracelet. "Second Chance." He said quietly, getting the feeling something bad would happen.
"You see? Here they go again, using their powers against demacro- demicro- Uh, democracy," She said, "They're not superheroes. They're supervillains," She declared.
"Okay, that's enough, Audrey!" Dragold exclaimed as Ladybug threw her yo-yo, but Audrey used the drones to block them as they started firing at the heroes as they were stunned before nets caught them.
"Now, take their miraculous! They serve much better in my jewelry box!" Audrey ordered as the droids approached them.
The heroes struggled to break free, "Second Chance!" Viperion used his bracelet as he rewind time.
"You see? Here they go again, using their powers against demacro- demicro- Uh, democracy," She said, "They're not superheroes. They're supervillains," She declared.
"Okay, that's enough, Audrey!" Dragold exclaimed as Ladybug was about to throw her yo-yo, but Viperion stopped her by holding her wrist.
"No time for a fight! We need to out of here, now!" Viperion exclaimed which made them all confused as he turned to Pegasus, "Pegasus, we need an exit!" He ordered.
"Wha-?" Pegasus asked in confusion.
"Trust me!" Viperion yelled as Pegasus nodded and turned in a direction.
"Voyage!" Pegasus exclaimed as he opened a portal as they all rushed into it before the projectiles and nets could catch them. Even though the heroes escaped, Audrey smirked knowing she had already won.
A little bit later, the heroes are in the Miraculous Den as they all watch the news as Audrey is speaking through it, "People of Paris until we find a demtromatic solution, I'll be your new mayor of Paris. That's it Power must-" She stopped herself when she realized what she almost said, "One sec," She said as she cleared her throat and continued, "Power must return to the people. And I am of the people, which is why, as if today, the Super offenders of Monarch and the Miraculous Heroes are outlawed," She declared with a sinister smirk.
Daniel growled as he shut off the news, "Okay, that woman has seriously gone too far this time!" He exclaimed.
"And just when you think she couldn't stoop any lower!" Sam exclaimed while kicking a chair away, "This bites!"
"We gotta do something!" Sabrina said in worry, "Audrey as Mayor is worse than Andre ever was!"
"I say we storm City Hall, knock the queen off her throne, and tear her apart limb from limb!" Sam proposed, slamming his fist into his palm before he saw the others looking at him in shock. "What?" He asked in confusion.
"You, are seriously twisted." Adrien commented with a brow.
"Thanks," Sam said with a grin, taking it as a compliment.
Kagami rolled her eyes, "Minus the last part, I agree with Sam, we must head over there and overthrow Audrey." She said as the others started voicing their agreement, except for Daniel, and Marinette.
"Guys, I don't know how, but I don't think brute force is gonna work this time," Daniel said seriously as he turned to them, "This isn't an Akumatized Villain we're dealing with, it's just a terrible woman who has the whole city in the palm of her hand," He reminded.
"And from how she somehow gained access to the Tsurugi security drones and fooled everyone in Paris that we're the bad guys, we won't be able to just throw her out of office like that," Marinette pointed out as they all realized.
"So it would be hard to through her out of office just like that, it be like kicking up a hornet's nest and the swarm comes out to sting us," Daniel added.
"So what, we just sit here like idiots while that woman ruins Paris?" Alya asked while pointing to the screen of Audrey.
"No, but we can't just attack and make us the bad guys without proof," Daniel spoke up while looking at the screen, "Until we figure out a way to solve this issue, we lay low, think of a plan, and then we cruise right in." He explained.
"And then we bust some heads?" Sam asked with a smirk.
"And then we bust some heads," Daniel answered with a smirk.
"But how long do we wait?" Kara asked in concern, "The school year is almost over, and the dance will start soon, and we don't even know how we're gonna find proof,"
"Don't worry, we'll think of a plan before the dance," Daniel assured, "We always have a habit at pulling things off at the last minute," He said as they all muttered in agreement.
"So, let's prepare for a campaign against Audrey!" Marinette said with her fists up, "Because even if the Miraculous Heroes may be out, the Resistance is still in the game! Who's with me!?" She called.
"We are!" They all exclaimed with their fists raised, ready to fight against not only Monarch, but also the new evil fake mayor as they hoped to overthrow her out of power before the dance.
