"Hello, M'lady," said Chat Noir as they both got to the scene.

"Hi, Kitty. Any information on the Akuma?"

"All I know is that the water came from inside the new aquarium," said Chat Noir, staring at the now flooded Paris.

"Let's start there, then. Be careful, there are probably all sorts of marine animals in there," said Ladybug.

"No problem! My reflexes are paw-some," said Chat Noir.

"Already with the cat puns?" said the now annoyed Ladybug.

"Well, I think they're purr-fect," said Chat Noir.

"Let's just go," said Ladybug, moving through the water with Chat Noir right behind her.

Ladybug and Chat Noir entered the building through the front doors. They took a couple turns and went down various hallways until they came upon what looked like the center of the aquarium. They could tell this because there was a huge open space in the shape of a circle with a map, describing the exhibits and where they were, in the middle. This room also seemed to be connected to every hallway in the aquarium.

"Where do you think we should look first?" asked Ladybug.

"Why don't we start with the gift shop!" said Chat Noir.

"Chat, we are not going shopping!" said Ladybug, still looking at the map.

"I think I see something!" said Ladybug looking more closely at the map. "There's this section of the map that was ripped out! Maybe the akumatized victim did it so we would have a harder time finding him. We should start searching there, what do you think?"

"It's a good starting place, Bugaboo," said Chat Noir.

"I think we go this way," said Ladybug, leading them into one of the passageways and ignoring the nickname.

---

Both of them swam for a while, taking turns down various passageways.

"Ladybug watch out!" called Chat Noir pushing her out of the way.

Ladybug and Chat Noir had entered yet another room. What they didn't realize is that Triton had been waiting for them and was ready to attack. Fortunately, Chat Noir noticed him just in time and pushed Ladybug out of the way.

"I am Triton! Give me your miraculous!" said Triton as he reached for Chat Noir's ring.

"Never!" said Ladybug using her yoyo to pull Triton away from Chat Noir.

"Any idea of where his akuma is?" said Chat Noir while dodging one of Triton's attacks.

"He has an employee's badge around his neck. I bet that's were the akuma is!" said Ladybug.

"Great eye, Bugaboo!" said Chat Noir.

"But, how will we get close enough, without him attacking us?" asked Ladybug.

"I think it's time for some luck on our side!" said Chat Noir.

"Lucky Charm!" said Ladybug, throwing her magical yoyo up in the air.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" said Ladybug as a bandana fell into her hands.

Ladybug looked around and knew what she had to do.

"Chat Noir, distract him for me!" said Ladybug.

"On it!" said Chat Noir.

"Hey! Why is your name Triton anyway? Can I call you little mermaid?" said Chat Noir, taking Triton's attention away from Ladybug.

Triton made a couple attempts at grabbing Chat Noir, and even after failing various times he didn't give up on his strategy. After a few more tries, he saw an opening an grabbed Chat's arm. 

He was about to take his ring when Chat Noir said, "Cataclysm!"

While Triton was trying to figure out how to take Chat Noir's ring without disintegrating, Ladybug put the bandana over his head and tied it at the back.

"What's this?" said Triton, getting distracted and letting go of Chat Noir.

"Chat Noir, the Badge!" said Ladybug, holding the bandana in place.

Chat Noir then touched the badge and it turned into dust, releasing an akuma.

"No more evil doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" said Ladybug throwing the yo yo towards the akuma and catching it.

"Gotcha! Bye-bye, little butterfly!" said Ladybug as she touched her yoyo and a white butterfly came out.
