Reckless Revenger stalked forward, his longsword dragging on the ground, wisps of air flickering around the tip of the blade. His face was stuck in an eerie smile, Nino's normally joyus grin strained.

Marinette scrambled backwards, her bound arms grasping at the floor, trying to make herself move faster. Adrien leaped over a chair, desperate to save his precious Marinette. But swiftly, he was caught in a gust of wind, making him helpless as he collapsed on the floor beside Marinette. The Reckless Revenger, only a few steps away, raised his blade for a final, finishing strike.

"Hey, Reckless- whatever, over here!" Chole screeched. She had taken a piece of the broken headphones and snapped it in her hands, an attempt to distract the villain.

The Reckless Revenger's head snapped towards her. He set on a new path, directly towards Chloe and Sabrina. Chole's eyes widened when she realized that she was the new target. She looked over at the frightened eyes of her classmates and saw an opportunity.

"Leave him to me, I've got this." Chole said to the pair of struggling teens, a smirk on her lips and a hand shooing the rest of the class towards the door. With Rose and Jukela's help, Marinette and Adrien were able to get their feet under them and start towards the door. Sabrina looked back, making sure she had Chole's approval. Chole shot her a scathing glare, making Sabrina visibly flinch before she followed the rest of the class to the hallway.

"Quick Reckless Revenger, take their miraculous before they transform." Lady Darkmoth warned, the moth outline appearing over Nino's face.

"They won't get out, I'll deal with them later, I have business to deal with first." Reckless Revenger replied, eyes still locked onto Chloe as if she were his prey.

Chole smiled and grabbed the rest of the pieces of Nino's broken headphones and ran to the other side of the classroom. The Reckless Revenger turned toward her, his sword making a loud screeching sound as it dragged across the floor, his footsteps muted.

The rest of the class hurried out the door at the back of the classroom while Chole led Reckless Revenger out the main door and towards the entrance. Reckless Revenger's smile never wavered as he advanced towards Chole, desperate to collect all the pieces of his broken pride.

As Chloe fled the scene, Marinette and Adrien's classmates struggled to release them. Tugging didn't seem to work, and neither did attempting to slip out of the wind band. Marinette was aware of Chloe making her way through the courtyard, taunting the akuma as she went.  Suddenly, Marinette and Adrien began drifting up into the air. Marinette let out a worried shriek and scrambled into an empty classroom to prevent herself from floating up into the atmosphere. At the doorway of the class, a fan caused a whip of air to surround Marinette. Somehow, this was just enough to release the constricting band of air from her waist. She watched as it flung across the classroom before wrapping itself around a chair.

"Tikki? Did you see that?" Marinette asked, relieved that the privacy of the classroom meant she could talk to her kwami.

"Yes, but there's no time to waste Marinette! It's been a minute since Nino was akumatized and look at the damage he's already caused!" Tikki replied, flying out from Marinette's bag.

"This is bad... Tikki, SPOTS ON!" Marinette yelled.

Running out of the classroom, Adrien was being dragged into the air. Holding onto Kim and Ivan, he noticed Ladybug appear from the classroom and relief flooded his face.
