A Sudden Return 3/3✅

Miraculous Ladybug: 10

Vex charged after the three superheroes. Carapace quickly went in front of them, using his shield to block the lights that were coming from the pencil.

"You think you can win?!" Vex laughed, then he threw his ball at Carapace. A sudden explosion went out.

"Carapace?!" Rena Rouge yelled. She wanted to go over and see if he was okay, but Cat Noir was in her arms, and if she left him, turn Vex would go after him.

Ugh! Ladybug, where are you?

Carapace coughed, showing Rena Rouge that he was okay. He slowly got up, his feet wobbling.

That explosion... He did it to make me feel weaker. And it worked.

Then Vex pointed his pencil at him, but Rena Rouge got in the way, playing her flute and pointing it at the pencil.

The light that came out of her flute touched his hand, shocking him, and making him drop his pencil.

Please Ladybug. Where are you?

"Let me go, you weirdos!" Roger Cop, who was now tied up, yelled at the top of his lunges. He was struggling to untie himself. "You are arrested for tying a police man up!"

Marinette rolled her eyes, then she grabbed a stick from someone who was holding it.

"Marinette, what are you going to do?" The lady looked at her curiously, waiting for an answer.

Marinette didn't have to answer. She took the stick and slammed it against Roger Cop once, right on his cheeks. Roger Cop's eyes turned bless, back to normal, and then he looked up Marinette, confused.

"I gotta go!" Without waiting for anyone to say anything, she ran out of the building, transforming into Ladybug, and searching for where the others might be.

Carapace was still able to stand and fight, but just a bit. Rena Rouge could see his weakness, and Vex could too, as he spread out his wide grin.

"Carapace!" Rena Rouge yelled as he landed on the ground again with a thud. "Why don't you take Cat Noir to rest."

Carapace crawled over to Cat Noir, leaving Rena Rouge with Vex.

"You don't realize how strong and powerful I am, do you?" Vex laughed. Then he made a card appear on his palms.

"Simon says, stay still!" Vex threw the card at Rena Rouge, but she quickly dodged it.

No way, he has gotten the Simon Says powers? Rena Rouge already felt defeated, but she wanted to keep trying, even if it took all her strength.

Carapace dragged Cat Noir away, as Rena Rouge dodged more cards.

Vex raised his hands, and then spread them out. Rena Rouge ran to fight him, but then she bumped into something that wasn't even there.

The Mime! She quickly realized. Vex had blocked her with an invisible wall. She played her flute and pointed it at the invisible door. The wall seemed to make a crack when the light from her flute touched it, as if it was breaking.

"I need to go collect more villain powers," Vex yelled, turning around. "I will be back." He was about to leave when something tied around him.

Ladybug's yoyo!

Rena Rouge looked up to see Ladybug coming over to her. She landed right next to her, and pulled her yoyo back, making it drag Vex along.

But Vex broke out of the yoyo easily. He snapped the string in half, using the Stone Heart's strength to do so.

What?! Stone Heart was never able to do that! Ladybug got into her fighting position.

Carapace, who had de-transformed, went  inside his home, and placed Adrien, who had also de-transformed, on his bed.

Adrien groaned and rolled around on the bed. He seemed to be saying something, but Nino couldn't make out what it was.

Then finally he got it.

"L... Ladybug? Ladybug. No, Marinette..."

"It's okay, buddy," Nino spoke softly. "Ladybug will be here."
