A Sudden Return 3/3✅

Miraculous Ladybug: 5

Lucas transformed. His outfit was a bit different from the last one. He had a ball on one hand, and a pencil on the other. The pencil was a different colour as well. It was bigger than it had been. He turned to Marinette and Adrien.

He only glared at Adrien, and pointed the pencil at him.

"Adrien, look out!" Marinette took action. She pushed Adrien away before the light that came out of the pencil touched him.

"Marinette, out of the way!" Vex yelled. "At least be happy that I'm not going after you!"

No Vex! You have to go after her as well. She's Ladybug!

But Marinette is my friend, I don't want to hurt her. I'm only after Adrien. He thought I was to blame as well!

"Vex, I won't let you hurt Adrien," Marinette yelled. "I won't let you hurt anyone!"

"Well, too bad!" Vex laughed. "Because of you, I have to start from the beginning. Don't make me go after you as well, Marinette!"

"I don't care. You can't do this!" Marinette exclaimed. But Vex didn't care.

"Because of you, I have to start from the beginning on collecting villain powers," Vex said, pointing an accusing finger at her. "I'm weak now, but if I could do it before, then I can do it now."

Yes! Vex, you can do it. Don't let them push you any further.

Hawk Moth groaned. This peacock miraculous is a bit too hard to use. It's hard to control my villains. Argh! I have to get back my moth miraculous!

"Adrien, quick," Marinette helped him up. "Let's go back to school, and warn everyone else."

Vex had already moved, running to get his hands on the people he needed to make him stronger.

Marinette and Adrien rushed back to school where they had came from. They barged inside of their class, all of them looking shocked at the sudden return.

"Vex!" Adrien yelled. "He's back," the he glared at Chloe. "Thanks to you!" And me. I also believed he was guilty.

"He got akumatized?" Chloe chucked to herself. "Don't they all?"

"He's starting from the beginning of getting his villain powers, which means he will be coming after some of you," Marinette announced. "You better go home now!"

"Cool. At least we get dismissed early," Kim laughed to himself, but also receiving a glare from the teacher as the students filed out of the classroom.

"Guys, I have to tell you guys something!" Marinette stopped Alya and Nino from leaving. She turned to Adrien. "Lucas wasn't the one who set Hawk Moth and Matthew free."

"Really?" Alya frowned. "I was thinking Lucas let Hawk Moth easily akumatize him so he could turn into Vex and take over Paris. So Hawk Moth has gotten at him again?"

Marinette nodded. "Unfortunately Hawk Moth has got the peacock miraculous."

Adrien gasped, remembering the day he had gotten knocked out. That person that was heading inside his father's room was doing that to get the peacock miraculous.

He was realizing this now. The peacock miraculous had been in his mansion all these times. He had seen the miraculous once, in front of his mother's picture, but he never thought anything about it.

"Also," Marinette took a deep breath. "Chloe is guilty. She's the one who set those villains out of jail."

"What?!" Nino gasped. "But she apologized."

"She was probably faking it," Alya replied. "That brat!"

So that person, Adrien went through his thoughts again, that person that knocked me out could have bee Matthew, Chloe, or even my own father.

"So... You didn't run after Lucas because you liked him?" Nino turned to Adrien, then back at Marinette.

"Huh?" Marinette frowned as the four of them left the empty classroom, as the teacher had already left as well.

"It's just that Chloe said you ran after him because you liked him," Nino shrugged. "Of course we didn't believe that, but you better talk to Sabrina before she gets the wrong idea."

"I'll add that to my to do list," Marinette said. "But that's not important now. We have to stop Vex!"

The four of them ran out of the school, not realizing the eyes that was watching them.

Chloe glared as the four of them left. She had pretended to leave the classroom when the others had left as well. Now she knew what was going on.

So they know my tricks, huh? Well, allow me to make this a little hard for them!
