[Mariposa Spanish for Butterfly] Today was the day. The day when Marinette would tell Adrien how she felt about him. But then... It all goes wrong... Witness the fall of Ladybug and the rise of Mariposa, Princess of all Akuma's.
Previously: "Stop... calling me... kitty!" Chat Noir yelled, pulling out his staff again and charging towards Black Widow, mind empty and heart full.
Seeing this, Hawkmoth sent a swarm of butterflies to attack and distract Black Widow, while he got in there, pulled Chat Noir out, and dragged him off to a different part of Paris.
--------------------------
In said 'different part of Paris' Hawkmoth let the cat themed teenager go.
"Where are we?" Chat asked looking around, never being here before, but seeing an old abandoned looking building with a butterfly window.
"This, is where I make my Akuma's and send them out into the world," Hawkmoth said in a slight proud voice "So good job Chat Noir, now you know where I am stationed, so if I do anything wrong, you can come and take me down." he mocked a little, heading inside, a mumbling Chat behind him.
"Chat..." Tikki whispered to him, coming out of his pocket "What if this is a trap?" she asked once again.
"If we want to get Marinette back," Chat said slowly "I will go through with it. Besides I'll be careful."
Unsure, but seeing no point in trying to make him back out of it, Tikki went back into his pocket.
Once she was, Chat entered the building and right away saw how dark it was, and once again thanking whoever needed to be thanked, the fact that Chat's had night-vision.
"Bit dark in here isn't it Hawky?" Chat asked looking around for his new partner, at least until this was all sorted out.
"Moth's like darkness boy," Hawkmoth's voice said to the side making Chat look in that direction "But enough about them. What you did back there was one of the dumbest things you could have done." he said sounding like a father, Chat thought.
"Oh? And what was that?" the boy asked snarling a little.
"Going into a battle with a full heart, empty head, and full of anger," Hawkmoth said shoving the boy into a seat.
Chat looked at him surprised, he (Adrien) was acting just like Plagg had when it was about Tikki.
"When that happens, it's more likely the attacker who ends up getting hurt, rather than the enemy." Hawkmoth said going over to the window and looking out of it.
"Hey I have a lot happening right now," Chat said getting up and joining him "My best friend was re-akumatized today. The love of my life is, the best way to say it 'an evil entrances', out for this 'Ultimite Power.' My over protective Father is going to kill me for not getting home like he ordered me to do. And I have to work with my enemy just to take down Black Widow."
"And it was all because of me that this happened right?" Hawkmoth asked looking to the boy.
"I wasn't going to say it, because Tikki already did, but yes," Chat said sighing and avoiding Hawkmoth's eyes.
Sighing, Hawkmoth turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Chat Noir asked turning at the movement.
"I have reason to believe you don't trust me enough to reveal yourself to me yet," the man said in a slow persuasive voice. "And I too feel like that. However, we both need to have fully charged and energized Kwiami's if we are to have any hope of bringing Black Widow down." he said going to the door, turning on the lights, stirring up the moths a little, and leaving.
After a couple of minutes to check that he was gone, Chat Noir detransformed and Plagg came out of the ring.
"So, you two, how exactly are we going to stop Black Widow?" Adrien asked the Kwami's after giving Plagg a full wheel of camembert.
"You need to get the Akumatized item and the Earrings," Tikki said right away.
"Why?" Adrien asked confused.
"The item so you can break it and capture the Akuma," Plagg said is mouth full "The Earrings so when we break Black Widow away from Marinette, Tikki can use her magic to lock her back into them again."
"But then wouldn't there be a chance this will all happen again in the future?" Adrien asked remembering a lesson from a show he liked to watch 'If you don't learn from the past, it will be repeated in the future'.
"Well then what do you suggest?" the cat asked grumpily.
"It's possible," Tikki said nodding "But something tells me, if we don't try it, there won't be much of a future for it to happen." she said sighing.
Agreeing with her, the boys left it at that, and they all began to think up of ways to get said items.

Back over at Notre Dame, Black Widow had finally gotten free from all those dumb moths and saw her prey and her key to Ultimate Power were gone.
Yelling out into the sky in frustration, she shot back to her palace.
When she got there she immediately called all her minions to meet her in the throne room.
"Go out and find me Tikki, and Chat Noir," she said firmly "I don't care how beaten up they are when they get here, as long as they're not dead, and Chat's ring is not broken. NOW GO!"
With that, everyone bowed and went off into the city to go looking for Chat Noir.
"You can't stay hidden forever, kitty cat, and when you come out of hiding," she said using her magic to make a small Chat Noir out of mist and smoke "I will make it so everyone loves me. And if they don't..." she said clutching her fist, destroying the figure, a grin on her face "Then again... dead humans cannot serve me," she said thinking having a good idea on who to re-akumatize tomorrow morning.
