(Y/n)'s POV

Once I reached the park I saw Luca playing on his guitar "hey sorry I'm late, whole monster thing got me off track" Luca waved it off as I sat beside him pulling out my notebook with some lyrics I wrote "I see you've got a song in mind?" He asked with a smile on his face. I returned the smile as I nodded showing him what I thought of and what instrumental sounds could go along with it, we jotted down our ideas and pitches and before long we had a couple pages filled with so many ideas "there's so much here I think we should use some for future songs" I nodded as we began packing up as we lost track of time.

Once I got home I noticed Marinette looking down "hey what's wrong?" I asked sitting beside her, she said nothing at first but sighed resting her head on her knees "it's just the recent events.... What would people think if Ladybug can't save all those people?" I cocked an eyebrow and shrugged "well she's only one person, even with Cat Noir at her side they can only do so much and even then I wouldn't be upset or anything."

Marinette nodded before getting up "you're right I just hope things get better..." With that she left to her room leaving me alone in the living room, I wish I knew how else I could help her but there wasn't much to do in this situation. Sighing, I went into my room to record some of the new songs but I had a hard time focusing due to the events of stone people and what Marinette said. What if Ladybug did fail? Would that mean everyone would become giant rock people forever? Could we even live normal lives anymore cuz of it?

3rd Person POV

Marinette was getting ready for the day when she heard the news talk about how there were no new changes with the stone people, many were asking what could have happened and if they could possibly fix this. It all rested heavily on Marinette as she felt responsible, it was even heavier when she saw the box with the earrings that held Tikki 'maybe I wasn't the right person to be Ladybug' she thought putting the box in her bag so she could give it to someone who deserved being a hero who could save the day.

Once Marinette arrived at school she bumped into Alya who talked about how excited she was to get to meet with an actual hero in Paris, how Ladybug will keep all the citizens safe and protected with Cat Noir, "but what if she can't? What If she fails?" Alya looked at Marinette confused but then smiled "As long as she tries to keep us safe then that's all I care about, I'd rather her try then not at all."

The bell rang and as they began heading to class along with everyone else, except for those who stuck around to hear Ivan confess his true feelings to Mylène. Everyone laughed at Ivan as he ran out of the locker room, little to their knowledge that would have caused him to become Akumatized yet again.

Meanwhile Marinette and Alya sat in class while Ivan was getting laughed at, and as class went on Marinette had a thought 'maybe I should give Alya the earrings, she'll do better as Ladybug.' Marinette was about to put the box into Alya's bag but the room shook as Stone Heart grabbed Mylène while everyone around screamed in fear, and soon screams could be heard outside and upon looking out the stone people began to move and attack.

Alya had a smirk on her face as she readied her phone and ran out of the classroom, Marinette ran after her once they were outside a black like blur shot by Stone Heart who held Mylène in his hand. He struck the stone beast to no luck and got knocked away as a result. Alya held her phone capturing footage of the events while Marinette watched from afar, that was when she noticed that Alya's bag was thrown to the side with the box laying on the ground.

While following Stone Heart the beast noticed Alya and sent a car flying towards her, Cat Noir thankfully blocked it and that was when Marinette grabbed the box releasing the Kawmi. "Marinette! It looks like you changed your mind" Tikki said happily as Marinette put on the earrings and said 'spots on!' becoming Ladybug and joining in the fight.

She noticed that Stone Heart climbing up the Eiffel tower with the mayor and police all around the base, meeting up with Cat Noir the two created a plan to stop Stone Heart before he caused any more damage.

The two worked together to distract Stone Heart but couldn't figure out how to get the akuma, that was until Ladybug realized what she had to do, after getting her yo-yo wrapped around the arm that held Mylène and began to pull so the two kissed which reverted Ivan back to normal and the two began to fall. But thanks to Ladybug's lucky charm she caught them and began to drift safely to the ground, that was when Ladybug saw akuma but couldn't catch it and began to worry she messed up again.

That is until something shot towards the akuma capturing it and someone shouted "transform!" and like that a pure white butterfly flew out as the mysterious person who caught it held what looked to be a net that became claws on his hands.

He wore a vest-like outfit that showed off his tanned skin, on his chest were claw marks, on top of his head was a hood that covered his face while ears stuck out. Everyone was confused who this guy was and everyone was shocked when he lifted his head that his eye glowed a sharp gold, he said nothing as he left and only one thought ran through Ladybug's head 'who was he and how did he change that akuma?'

The mysterious hero landed in a distant alley and the Kwami flew out as the guy changed back "you did great! And you thought you wouldn't do good" "yea and I feel like this won't be my last time being a hero" (y/n) said chuckling as he got his stuff together and began walking home.

-=-= Flash back =-=-

(Y/n)'s POV

I was getting ready for school when I saw the box with the necklace 'right almost forgot about that,' once I opened the box to see the necklace when a ball of light came out and flew around me until it stopped in front of my eyes. Right there in front of me was a little lion who spoke "hello there I am Leo your kawami!" oookkkkkaaaayyyyyy "I must be sick or something since this isn't real" the little lion chuckled and shook his head "nope I am quite real! And I can help you become a hero! The Lion of transformation! All you need to do is wear the necklace and say 'Release the Beast' and you will become the Lion hero with the power to transform anything you wish."

Huh sounds cool "okay why not let's do this, Leo Release the Beast" and with that I became the Lion Hero ready to stop any villain who wants to mess with my city, I saw that stone guy from before climbing the Eiffel tower which meant that was where I was needed.
