I.O.N.
Enjoy!

Chat Noir stalked through the dark streets of the sleeping town in a silent panic. It had been three days since his challenge had begun, and he was no closer to finding a way to land a price on his head than when he had started. The young man was so lost in his own panic that he didn't notice when two figures began to close in on him. In fact, Chat Noir was unaware of their presence altogether until they each threw an arm around his shoulders and began to drag him towards the harbor.
The cat themed pirate began to struggle until he heard one of them speak. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. People are trying to sleep after all."
Adrien released a relieved sigh, "Nino." And upon closer inspection of the second figure, "Chloe."
With an annoyed huff, she responded, "Of course it's us. Who else would it be? Now stop struggling and hurry up." At her urging, the two boys picked up the pace and the three quickly made their way to the docks.
Once they finally stopped, Adrien voiced a question that had been building since he found out who it was, "So, not that I don't love getting forcefully dragged around, but why are you two here?"
"Because the entire ship has been watching you for the past three days, try and fail to come up with a plan, and honestly it's just sad at this point." Chloe so eloquently put.
"I would have found a nicer way to that, but she's not wrong dude. It is getting a little sad. " Nino added with a sheepish shrug.
Adrien was unimpressed, "So you forced me to come here so you could tell me just how badly I'm doing?"
"No dude, we're here to help."
"By insulting me?!"
"By helping you clear your head and make a plan."
"How?"
Chloe sighed and tried to give him a hint, "You've been focusing on the wrong part of the challenge."
"That makes absolutely no sense."
Nino good-naturedly nudged Adrien's shoulder, "Just trust us."
"Fine."
Locking eyes, the two more experienced pirates shared a slight smile and Nino started, "Okay, now bro take a deep breath and think about the conversations you overheard."
"Got it."
"What were they about?"
"Everyone's talking about the governor's monthly parade where he shows off some of his fancy clothes." Even as he recalled the conversations a spec of an idea began to float around in his brain.
"Really? How conceited can one man get?" Chloe sneered.
"Obviously this man needs to be taken down a few pegs. So Adrien what are you going to do about it?" Nino questioned.
With a smirk that was pure pirate confidence, Chat Noir spoke, "I think I have an idea."
