With the fast music resumed, I managed to blend in to the movements of the crowd and slip around the side of the house. I opened my purse and Maane flew out, giving me a concerned look.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Miss? As I mentioned before, ,you have not had the proper training."

"Well someone has to do something," I told him, "And for some reason, it seems Ladybug and Chat Noir are occupied, so...what choice do I have?" He nodded.

"If you say so. Just allow me to remind you, once you use your special ability, you only have minutes before you transform back, so its best to save it for when you absolutely need it." I nodded.

"Ok. Thanks for the tip." He nodded. "Maane, let's roar."

The glow of light overwhelmed me again and suddenly, the Lion costume was back. I grabbed my staff, using it to launch myself into the air until I was on the roof of the house. I took a deep breath.

"Ok, ok...you've got this, just..." I looked down at the scene below, my gaze zooming in on the power strip that sat on the table. I smiled, holding my staff like a spear and launching it in the direction of the DJ booth. It collided with the powerstrip, knocking everything out of it and causing the music to stop. Much to my surprise, the staff then bounced off of the ground and flew back in my direction, where I easily caught it. "Whoa, cool!" 

"Who the heck are you?!" The bubbler exclaimed. I paused, realizing I had no fancy name to go by. So, I simply leaned against my staff and retorted:

"Didn't you hear? I'm the party police. Didn't you know it was against Party law to hold your guests against their will?" I asked. I saw a flash of red in the corner of my eye and looked over to see that Ladybug had appeared beside me. 

"Sorry Bubbler, but the party's over!" She added.

"Why you gotta be like that?" Nino questioned.

"You made all the adults disappear, that's why, and now you're imprisoning anyone who isn't having fun." She told him. 

"You will not bust up my party!" He reached behind him, poised to pull his staff out of the bottle. He did just that, launching red bubbles in our direction. I hesitated, unsure of what to do, but Ladybug luckily deflected them all with her spinning yo-yo. 

She leapt off of the wall, jumping into the air, and the bubbler did the same.

"Everyone, take cover!" I shouted at the guests. They all ran off in various directions and I skimmed the crowd, searching for Adrien. Ladybug landed dramatically on top of the DJ booth and the Bubbler landed on the snack table across from her. 

Ladybug gracefully threw her yoyo in his direction, and he launched a bubble in response. The two collided in the middle, and I expected it to burst with the impact. Rather though, the Yo-yo simply sunk into the bubble, hardly even making a dent before bouncing back and flying towards ladybug at top speed. I jumped down in front of her, preparing to deflect it when yet another figure appeared in front of me, hitting it out of the way. 

"Looks like I made it just in time." Chat Noir said, twirling his staff and posing dramatically. 

"I had it under control," Ladybug told him, letting her yo-yo land on his head before pulling it back into her hand, "But Thanks."

"So, who's your friend?" Chat Noir asked, glancing at me curiously.

"No clue." She said.

"Its an explanation for another time," I answered, "Preferably when there's not a supervillain glaring at us a few feet away."
