With a grin, Alix is spraypainting a wall with a bag of spray paint lying next to her. Ever since getting her Miraculous, she's been on a creative streak. Her excitement about the future fuels her mind with images she needs to paint. However, Roaar isn't with her this time. Instead, the Kwami is hanging out with Max. Max wants to study her and see what he can learn from the Kwami for a secret project he's been working on. Why it involves Roaar, Alix doesn't know. But she trusts Max.

The piece she's working on right now is a tiger fighting a golem. It's clearly something meant to represent her fighting Stoneheart. Next to the image is another of a tiger fighting against the sky to depict her fighting Stormy Weather. After finishing her latest image, she backs away and stares at it with a grin, imagining fighting against the different Akumas for real.

"Man, this is going to be awesome." Alix thinks as she looks at the panjas bracelet.

This excitement changes to confusion when she hears what sounds like singing from around the corner. Curious if there's a parade going on, she peeks around the corner to see Puppeteer with puppet versions of Princess Fragrance, Fashionista, and Cat Noir walking behind her. Behind those puppets are members of Fashionista's entourage and those being mind-controlled by Princess Fragrance's perfume. It's pretty interesting to see. One side of the army is a bunch of serious people in suits with sunglasses while the other is singing and dancing Puppeteer's praises.

"She's off to the Creator. She'll collect all the dolls. And when she does, you know she will win this fight." The Princess Fragrance part of the crowd sings as Puppeteer smiles in anticipation.

"Off to Marinette's home!" She shouts excitedly as the army continues forward.

Alix is shocked when she sees this army on its move. Plus, the fact that Cat Noir is with them, and they're after Marinette. However, she soon snaps out of it after realizing she needs to focus on getting away. Luckily, she's gotten used to spray painting with her skates on. She uses them to quickly rush away from the oncoming army while pulling out her phone to call Max and Roaar.

"Hello, Alix." Max greets upon answering the call on the second ring.

"There's a lot of Akumas heading toward Marinette's house! I need Roaar, like now!" Alix shouts at Max, and hopefully Roaar, urgently.

"Be there in less than a minute," Roaar confidently says, but Alix doubts her boasting.

She isn't thinking about that, though. Instead, she's focused on getting out of sight before the army sees her. While doing so, she's shouting at people and letting them know about an Akuma. While starting to do this, she's surprised to see Roaar grinning at her.

"Told you it would take less than a minute," Roaar proudly says as she stares at Alix.

Blinking a few times before giving Roaar an impressed look, Alix grins at her partner and raises the panjas bracelet. She's about to say the transformation phrase before Roaar shouts.

"Duck!" The force from this shout is enough to send Alix on her butt.

That was a good thing. Because in the next second, Fashionista's string flies over her head. Seeing this causes Alix to quickly turn around to see the army coming from around the corner a fair distance away.

"Oh, crap." She mutters as she realizes that they're coming.

She quickly pulls herself off the ground and sprints away from them as fast as possible. Luckily, it looks like they're mostly distracted getting people unsure of Alix's claims that there is an Akuma, giving her the time to escape. After a minute of skating at full speed, Alix finally finds a place to transform.
