Meanwhile, Marinette, Luka, Juleka, Tom, Sabine and the rest of the gang were in the stands, excitedly waiting for the race to begin, while an announcer did his bit:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Motocross World Championship! We've got quite the lineup out here today! In particular, Albert Royer is looking for his fifth consecutive trophy, but he'll have some serious competition from his Russian rival, Mefodiy Filippov! In a few minutes, the…wait, what's going on!?"

The crowd was stunned when Motorman – who wore a black spiked Stahlhelm, a black leather racing suit with a skull and crossbones, and who also had a custom fire-breathing chopper – sped out onto the field, throwing up a massive roost of dirt at the crowd.

"Fear me! I am Motorman, and I'm gonna get another championship!"

In particular, Marinette's eyes widened when she realized that Motorman was really Albert.

"Excuse me; I'm gonna get some help!"

Marinette bolted away from the bleachers into some nearby bushes.

"I don't know how Albert got akumatized, but there's two people who can stop him! Tikki, Spots On!"

Now that Ladybug was in the picture, she followed Motorman as he sped off the track and proceeded to cause mayhem out on the roadways. Using her magic yo-yo, she just barely managed to get ahead of him and got back to the boulangerie where her family worked, which was also where Marinette left the CR250, which Ladybug immediately went for:

"Marinette may not be able to ride this machine, but I sure can!"

Ladybug put on Marinette's helmet, hopped on the bike, kicked the starter over, and having fired up the bike on the first try, she sped off in pursuit of Motorman. Unlike her civvy self, however, Ladybug was a much better rider, controlling the Red Rocket as if she were a motocross pro herself. The engine was no slouch, and she was able to keep up with Hawk Moth's latest creation as they sped throughout the streets of Paris, weaving through cars like threads through fabric. Ladybug wasn't alone, for she was joined by Cat Noir, riding a 1978 Kawasaki KX250, and also wearing a matching "Kawasaki Green" helmet.

"Hey there, M'Lady!" said Cat Noir "You're looking pretty cross today!"

"Really, Kitty? Let's just focus on catching this guy!"

And so, Ladybug and Cat Noir pursued Motorman, having to dodge attacks such as his chopper shooting flames from the exhausts, dropping oil slicks and land mines. The Lucky Duo managed to evade all these attacks not only thanks to their hotshot riding, but also by using their yo-yo and baton to ward off anything that would otherwise have struck them. As the riders tore up Paris, passers-by took photos and video of the race, and a TV1 news crew – including Nadja – were following them in a Bell JetRanger:

"Don't be bemused; it's just the news! I'm Nadja Chamack. Ladybug and Cat Noir are once again doing their best to defend Paris from one of Hawk Moth's latest villains, who I'm told is called 'Motorman'. Some people speculate that this is just a promotional stunt for the Motocross World Championship, but whatever the case, you can be assured that they'll do their best, as they've always done!"

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Roger Raincomprix was having some pate on a baguette when Motorman, Ladybug and Cat Noir sped by:

"And I thought I'd seen it all!"

Roger activated the lights and siren on his Peugeot 207 police car and sped off in pursuit of the bikers.

"Central, this is 15-Lieutenant. I'm in pursuit of three motorcyclists, westbound on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Suspects are wanted for speed only at this time."

"Roger that. Any unit in the vicinity, 15-Lieutenant reports three motorcyclists heading westbound on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Suspects are wanted for speed only at this time, but should be considered extremely dangerous."

Meanwhile, even though Ladybug and Cat Noir were doing a good job keeping up with Motorman, they had yet to stop him, and Ladybug acknowledged this:

"There's gotta be a better way to stop him! Lucky Charm!"

This time, Ladybug's Lucky Charm gave her…

"A box of nails? What am I supposed to do with this?"

Ladybug looked around, and immediately, her attention was drawn to a ramp truck near the Arc de Triomphe, plus the tires on Motorman's bike.

"Cat Noir, use your Cataclysm to try to slow him down!"

"On it, M'Lady!"

Cat Noir saw the ramp truck as well, and after trying to push Motorman aside for a bit, he used the ramp to jump really high, and getting ahead of Motorman…

"Cataclysm!"

Cat Noir used his Cataclysm to destroy the Arc de Triomphe, thus blocking off Motorman. When he tried to find an alternate route, Ladybug dumped the nails on the road, forcing Motorman to drive over them, thus popping his tires and letting the akuma out. Both Ladybug and Cat Noir skidded to a halt.

"No more evildoing for you, little akuma!"

Ladybug swung her yo-yo around.

"Time to de-evilize!"

Ladybug caught the akuma.

"Gotcha!"

Ladybug released the akuma and waved at it.

"Bye bye, little butterfly! Miraculous Ladybug!"

Ladybug threw the box of nails up in the air, and it turned into the usual swarm of Miraculous Ladybugs, which not only fixed up the Arc de Triomphe, but also got rid of the nails and repaired the now de-akumatized Albert's bike. Of course, Ladybug and Cat Noir just had to…

"Pound it!"

As usual, Hawk Moth lamented his latest failure:

"Ladybug, you and Cat Noir may have gotten the holeshot, but this championship will be mine! Just you wait!"

As for Albert, he was left bemused by the whole thing:

"What happened…and how did I get here with my bike?"

"Let's just say we've saved you from another one of Hawk Moth's evil plans!"

Albert's eyes widened, and he dropped his jaw:

"Wait…I know you two! You're Ladybug and Cat Noir! Can I get your autographs!?"

Cat Noir smiled. "Only if you give us yours!"

Just then, Ladybug and Cat Noir heard the familiar beeping of their powers running out.

"Uh-oh, we're about to change back!" said Ladybug. "We better do this quick!"

Ladybug and Cat Noir exchanged autographed glossy photos with Albert.

"Bug out!"

And with that, Ladybug and Cat Noir left before they could change back into Marinette and Adrien.

Thanks to help from the police, Albert was able to get back to Vigneux-sur-Seine.

"Well Marinette, I checked my bike, and somehow, the crankcase was fixed!" said Albert. "Ladybug and Cat Noir really are lifesavers!"

Marinette smiled. "They sure are something! Actually, before the race begins, I wanted to show you my bike!"

Marinette showed off her CR250.

"Personally, I say nothing beats a Yamaha, but I'm glad you got the motocross bug, too!" said Albert. "Let me see you ride it!"

"OK!"

Marinette put on her helmet and started up the bike. Unfortunately for her, she once again made a clumsy fool of herself when the bike threw her off, much to Albert's shock. Even so, he was still grateful to have met a family member whom he hadn't seen in years.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
