Paris was aglow with the spirit of Valentine's Day, the streets lined with heart-shaped decorations and the air filled with the scent of roses. The excitement was palpable as the city celebrated love and friendship.

Marinette: It's Valentines Day today.

Adrien: I know. Let's hope an akumatized villain doesn't spoil it.

Marinette: Don't get your hopes too high, Adrien.

At François Dupont High School, the students were busy exchanging Valentine's Day cards and gifts, each one hoping to make their feelings known to their special someone.

Among the bustling crowd, Bobby Bearhug clutched a carefully prepared valentine's gift. Her heart raced with anticipation as she made her way towards Adrien, hoping to share her feelings.

Bobby Bearhug: Adrien, Will you... be my valentine?

Adrien, ever the kind and considerate friend, accepted the gift with a warm smile.

Adrien: Thank you, Bobby. This is really sweet of you, But I need to be honest. I'm planning to be Marinette's valentine this year.

Bobby Bearhug: Wait... really...?

Adrien: Yes, I am sorry.

Bobby's face fell, the rejection stinging despite Adrien's kind words. Tears welled up in her eyes, and he turned and ran, unable to hide her disappointment.

Adrien: Bobby, wait! I didn't mean it like that!

Marinette: Adrien, is something wrong?

Adrien: Bobby Bearhug wanted to be my valentine. I rejected it, and, she ran off crying, as if I was rude to her, and I would never be rude to somebody.

Marinette: Something's wrong. We have to go help her.

Marinette and Adrien run off.

High above, Shadow Moth watched the scene unfold with a predatory grin.

Shadow Moth: Ah, I feel, a disheartened soul rejected by her "so-called" valentine. She is my perfect prey.

Shadow Moth sends out an akuma.

As the dark energy enveloped Bobby, a mask appeared on her face.

Shadow Moth: Hate-Conqueror, I am Shadow Moth. So you were rejected? Well, I am giving you the power to hate each other with everything, including malice. In return, you must seize Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous. Do we have a deal?

Bobby Bearhug: Yes.

Bobby transformed into Hate-Conqueror, a villain whose magic dust bombs could make people hate each other with malice. Her eyes glowed with a dark light as he began to spread chaos, her bombs turning friends into bitter enemies.

Hate-Conqueror: So, you don't want to be my valentine? Well, I will make sure YOU hate your friends.

Adrien: Bobby...?

Hate-Conqueror: I am not Bobby anymore, I am Hate-Conqueror. And I am gonna punish you for all these rejections.

Hate-Conqueror throws a dust bomb at Adrien, but he dodges.

Marinette and Adrien sensed the disturbance immediately.

Adrien: Marinette, I think Bobby may have gotten akumatized.

Marinette: Are you sure?

Adrien: Yes, I am sure. I watched the whole thing.

Marinette: Hmm, then let's not waste any time.

"Tikki, spots on!"

"Plagg, claws out!"

In an instant, Ladybug and Cat Noir were ready for action, racing to confront Hate-Conqueror.

Ladybug: Stop Hate-Conqueror. Valentine's Day is about loving each other, not hating each other.

Hate-Conqueror: Liar! It is about hating each other, and I will make sure you hate everything, including your Miraculous.

Hate-Conqueror throws dust bombs at Ladybug and Cat Noir, but they dodge them.

But as they faced off against her, they quickly realized the extent of her power. The air was thick with malice, and the people of Paris turned against each other with alarming speed.

Ladybug: She's making all the people in Paris hate each other.

Cat Noir: Okay, so, what are we gonna do?

Ladybug: We need some backup.

Cat Noir: Oh okay, we should just call in PurpleFox. With his power of illusion, he will help us.

Ladybug: No Cat Noir, We need someone who can neutralize her power.

Spotting PickyPiggy among the Smiling Critters, Ladybug made a quick decision.

Ladybug: Cat Noir, I will be right back, don't let her get away.

Cat Noir: Got it, M'lady.

 Ladybug lands near PickyPiggy.

PickyPiggy: Ladybug, what are you doing here?

Ladybug: Picky, I need your help. Are you up to it?

PickyPiggy: You bet, Ladybug.

Ladybug shows her the Bee Miraculous.

Ladybug: PickyPiggy, this is the Bee Miraculous, which grants you the power of action. You will use it for the greater good.

PickyPiggy accepted the Bee Miraculous, Pollen flies out.

Pollen: At your service, my queen.

Ladybug: Once the mission is complete, you must return the Miraculous to me. Can I trust you?

PickyPiggy: Yes Ladybug.

Pollen: You have only one thing to say, my queen: Pollen, buzz on!

PickyPiggy: Pollen, buzz on!

In a flash of light, PickyPiggy transformed into Pig-Bee, her new form radiating with the power of the bee. With a determined look, she joined Ladybug and Cat Noir in the battle against Hate-Conqueror.

Cat Noir: Hey M'lady. Who is this new hero you bought with you?

Ladybug: Cat Noir, this is... um...

Pig-Bee: Pig-Bee!

Cat Noir: Hello Pig-Bee.

Ladybug hears a thud.

Ladybug: No time for introduction Cat Noir, she's coming.

The fight was intense, with Hate-Conqueror using her speed and dust bombs to keep the heroes on the defensive.

Hate-Conqueror: Ha! Found you at last, now time for punishment!

Hate-Conqueror spreads dust bombs at the 3 heroes, but they dodged them.

Pig-Bee: Venom!

Pig-Bee then paralyzes Hate-Conqueror.

Ladybug: Where is the akuma?

Pig-Bee: I think it's in the valentine's gift.

Ladybug swipes the Valentine's gift, then breaks it, the akuma flies out.

Ladybug quickly captured the akuma, purifying it and restoring peace.

PickyPiggy then returned the Bee Miraculous to Ladybug.

Ladybug: Thank you, Picky. Bug out!

As the dust settled, Adrien approached Bobby, his expression filled with remorse.

Adrien: I'm sorry, Bobby. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You and Marinette can both be my valentines. There's enough room in my heart for both of you.

Bobby Bearhug: Really? Thank you, Adrien. That means a lot to me.

Bobby Bearhug then hugs Adrien.

The tension melted away, and the group celebrated their victory, the bonds of friendship and love stronger than ever. The Valentine's Day festivities continued, filled with laughter and joy.

For in the heart of Paris, where darkness and light battled for supremacy, the power of love and friendship would always prevail. And as long as Ladybug, Cat Noir, and their allies stood united, they knew they could overcome any challenge that lay ahead.
