Copycat is back-and this time no one will get in his way again.
Theo Barbot, a sculptor infatuated with Paris' famous superhero-Ladybug-will stop at nothing to get his love reciprocated. For months he follows Paris' other beloved superhero-Cat Noir-and learns three things about the cat:
1-Cat Noir is Adrien Agreste, son of famous fashion designer Gabriel Agreste.
2-Ladybug and Cat Noir are not a couple, despite what the cat claimed.
3-Cat Noir visits a certain baker's daughter every night, whom he suspects knows Ladybug's secret identity.
During an akuma attack, Theo follows and spies on them, witnessing as Cat Noir gives Ladybug a rose-another pathetic attempt at romance-and is surprised when she accepts it.
Theo is once again akumatized into Copycat, with even stronger powers than before, and he kidnaps Marinette and refuses to let her go until she gives up Ladybug's secret identity.

"Sire please, she not even 21 yet. Please let her stay for the year!" My father pleaded for my life but it was no use. I belong to him.
Silence crept through the house before loud banging from large footsteps crept from the staircase. The pleading did not work. He was coming for me.
....
BOOM! The large sealed oak door broke down with a simple kick from the notorious beast. I ran to the corner for protection but to no avail. He was taking me to my new life.
