The eiffel tower rumbled and the akuma alert sounded on Ladybug's yo-yo. She swung back to where the boys were and saw Chat Noir walk towards Adrien, shaking his head. "What's going on? Where's Marinette?"

They turned to face her and Adrien explained, "She said she liked both Chat Noir and I, and we laughed a bit in shock. She must have thought we were laughing at her, so she ran off."

"We have to find her!" Ladybug held up her yo-yo, which displayed a purple and silver butterfly icon. "There's an akuma. We need to make sure she's safe."

Chat Noir and Adrien exchanged a worried look. "You don't think..." Chat trailed off. Adrien nodded and turned to Ladybug.

"I think Marinette was akumatized." Ladybug shrieked and started pacing, twisting and untwisting her hands.

"No! Nonononononono. This can't be happening!"

Chat Noir grabbed her shoulders and stilled her. "We'll get her back. She'll be fine."

Ladybug pushed him off. "You don't understand! Bunnix sent us back to make something important happen, but I think we just made it worse!"

"What is so detrimental to the future about Marinette getting akumatized? You guys always fix it!'' Adrien spoke up. Ladybug froze and looked at him. 'I can't let him know Marinette is Ladybug.'

"You're right. We got this!"

They ran to find the akuma, hoping against hope it wasn't Marinette.

Sure enough, though, they found Princess Justice. The boys both gasped and she turned. Her eyes narrowed and she smiled cruelly.

"So glad you could make it! Your miraculous." She held out her hand.

Ladybug spun her yo-yo and replied, "Not a chance, Marinette."

Princess Justice retracted her hand and frowned. "It's Princess Justice and I wasn't asking." She ran forward, grabbed Adrien and darted back, bringing her dagger to his throat. "You WILL give me your miraculous, or this poor, dumb, blind model boy will only be modeling caskets." She dug the tip of the blade into Adriens neck and drew blood. Chat Noir winced as a scar identical to Adrien's wound appeared on his neck.

"Chat, are you ok?" Ladybug whispered.

Chat nodded slightly. "I'm fine. You have a plan, I hope?"

She looked around and the corners of her mouth turned up. "You know it. So here's the plan."
