Francoise Dupont: Caline Bustier's classroom. Mr. Damocles is addressing the class
"You have one day to create a fashion piece, and it must be your own design. In ten hours your fittest presentation will be judged by none other than the famous Gabriel Agreste, father of our own student Adrien Agreste. Adrien here will be wearing your design on the cat walk at the next fashion show." Denis said
"What's the theme?" Chloe asked
"I was getting to that, Chloe." Denis said
"This year's theme is. Derby hats." Denis said
"I'm totally getting my cousin to create the derby hat." Bridgette said
"Didn't Mr. Damocles said it should be your own design?" Alya asked
"It will be in my own design." Bridgette said
"Uh, huh." Alya said
Out on the courtyard
"My cousin is the better one who is excellent at fashion then I am." Bridgette said
"What are you good at?" Alya asked
"Photography. Bridgette said
So you can snap the perfect shot." Alya said
"Yep. And check this shot I got of Ladybug swinging through the city." Bridgette said as she revealed a photo of Ladybug mid swing
"Anyway I got to meet up with my cousin and ask her to design a derby hat for me." Bridgette said as she walked out of the school while Chloe and Sabrina watched
"Whoever this cousin of hers is. I better get a photo of her cousin's sketch book or somehow steal the sketch book with all of her designs". Chloe said while Sabrina looked away as she knows who Bridgette's cousin is
"Come on we are losing her." Chloe said as the two girls followed Bridgette who was walking towards the MDC building
"Why is she going inside?" Chloe asked as they approached the main door, security blocked them from entering
"Do you know who I am?" Chloe asked which made the security guard check his list
"What's your name?" Security guard asked
"It's Chloe Bourgeois, you dolt." Chloe said which made the security guard check his list for a Bourgeois
"Sorry you are not on the list. Have you booked an appointment to see the boss?" Security guard asked
"I don't need an appointment, my father is the mayor of this city. He can get this building shut down and your boss will be kicked out of Paris." Chloe said smugly but the guards didn't bat an eye
Inside the MDC building, Bridgette was in Marinette's office
"You want me to do what for you?" Marinette asked
"Design a Derby for Adrien for this competition and the winner's hat will be displayed at the fashion show." Bridgette said which made Marinette sigh out
"How long do I have to create this hat?" Marinette asked
"In approximately 10 hours." Bridgette said
"You got to be kidding me, they want the students to come up with an idea for a derby hat design and create the hat in 10 hours." Marinette said
"Not a lot of time, but we can work with this." Marinette said
"Then what ideas do you have?" Bridgette asked
"None at the moment." Marinette said as she opened her draw and took out her drawing pad and pencil then she got up from her chair and walked over to Bridgette
"That's why we are going out into the city to find inspiration that way." Marinette said as they both entered the elevator which took them down to the garage
"Couldn't we walk around Paris?" Bridgette asked
"We are on a time crunch, Bridgette, the quicker we do this, the more time I'll have to work on the hate if there're no akumatized villains from your class I'll have to worry about." Marinette said
"Um, I don't think anyone from my class will get akumatized today." Bridgette said
"Let's hope not." Marinette said as they got into an Aston Martin with tinted windows. Marinette drove out the garage where Bridgette saw Chloe and Sabrina trying to get inside the building
"Why are your security guards blocking Chloe and Sabrina?" Bridgette asked
"They are not on the list." Marinette said
"What list?" Bridgette asked
"I only let certain people inside my company." Marinette said
"Like who?" Bridgette asked
"Well our family, Uncle Jagged, cousin Clara, Aunt Nadja and Manon." Marinette said
"Who is Uncle Jagged, Cousin Clara, and Aunt Nadja?" Bridgette asked
"Uncle Jagged is Jagged Stone who has known Mom and Dad since high school and he's been my godfather since he was at my birth. Cousin Clara is Clara Nightingale who Uncle Jagged introduced her to me and she adopted herself into our family as our cousin and Aunt Nadja is Nadja Chamack who is my godmother since my mom knew each other when they were in college." Marinette said
"Is that why you always babysit, Manon all the time." Bridgette said
"Of course." Marinette said then they arrived at their location
Trocadero square
"Why are we here at Trocadero?" Bridgette asked
"We are going to find inspiration here." Marinette said as she parked her car up and they both got out and walked on to Trocadero square where they sat down on the stairs as Marinette took out her design book and started to look for inspiration
On the street outside the Trocadero square, Chloe was angry that she was denied entry in the building
"Can you believe that I have to book an appointment, me. I'm a Bourgeois and Bourgeois don't book appointments they book appointments just to see us instead." Chloe growled out then they walked into Trocadero and that's when they saw Bridgette with Marinette which made Chloe smile
"Sabrina, seems like Ladybug is smiling down on me today." Chloe said
"What do you mean by that?" Sabrina asked
"Look who's sitting in front of us." Chloe said as she pointed at Bridgette and Marinette
"This could be our chance to get a photo of one of their designs and use it as our own." Chloe said as she pulled Sabrina behind a pillar where they could watch Marinette and Bridgette
"Use my phone to take a photo of the design book." Chloe said as she handed her phone over to Sabrina who grabbed it and snuck up to Marinette and Bridgette where she aimed the phone ready to take a photo
"What sort of design do you want on your derby hat?" Marinette asked her cousin
"I don't know, you're the fashion designer." Bridgette said
"Well then, I like a challenge." Marinette said as she cracked her fingers and started to work on the derby designs
Marinette drew different derby hat designs on every page of her sketchbook that Bridgette was beginning to fall asleep until Marinette closed her book with a slam which woke Bridgette up
"Are you finished sketching a design for a derby hat?" Bridgette asked
"I am." Marinette said as she opened the front page and handed her book over to Bridgette to look through
"What am I supposed to do with this?" Bridgette asked as she looked at her cousin
"I want you to choose a design for me to create." Marinette said which made Bridgette to look at the book then she picked it up where she flipped through the pages then she brought the book up where she could see it better which was also in view of Sabrina
"A flower Derby hat?" Bridgette asked not knowing that Sabrina took a photo of the design and ran back to Chloe
"What took you so long? I have been standing here for an hour." Chloe said
"It was more than half an hour than an hour." Sabrina said
"Ugh, who cares." Chloe said then she looked at Sabrina
"Did you take a photo of a design we could use?" Chloe asked which made Sabrina nod her head as she handed her phone over to Chloe who unlocked her phone and took a look at the design which made her smile evilly
"Oh, Adrien is going to love this flower derby hat." Chloe said
"Will you be the one making this?" Sabrina asked
"And damage these manicured nails. Are you stupid?" Chloe said as she whack the back of Sabrina's head
"I'm getting my father to hire someone to design this hat for me instead." Chloe said as they walked away from Trocadero square and to the hotel not knowing Marinette was drawing a new design based on a pigeon that almost crashed into the two girls
"Is Adrien allergic to anything like a feather allergy?" Marinette asked as she looked at her cousin
"Nope, Adrien doesn't have any medical conditions whatsoever." Bridgette said which made Marinette unsure
"We'll test the real feather for now, but one allergic sneeze to the feather than it will be swapped out with a fake right away." Marinette said then she watched as Roger roast into Xavier which Bridgette saw
"You know that man shouldn't be feeding those pigeons anyway." Bridgette said
"They will shit on the tourists that visit this place everyday." Bridgette said as she watched people take photos of the Eiffel Tower from where they are standing with a smile on their faces
"You know London and New York also have a pigeon problem as well." Marinette said then she stood up
"Anyway I got to go since I'm on a tight deadline to get this Derby Hat created." Marinette said which also made Bridgette stand as well
"Oh yeah, I shouldn't keep you distracted any longer." Bridgette said as Marinette picked up a pigeon feather and walked to her car where she entered and drove back to her corporation where she drove into her garage and parked her car where she walked into the elevator which took her to her office with her own designer room
At Trocadero square
"No one respects the pigeons anymore do they, mhm." Hawk Moth said
"No they all think that pigeons should be exterminated like rats." Xavier said
"What would Pigeon be without the pigeons?" Hawk Moth asked
"Paris will be a dull place without the birds." Xavier
"Then you know what you should do, Mister Pigeon." Hawk Moth said as he evilly smiled
"It would be my pleasure to turn Paris into a Pigeon capital." Xavier said as he stood up and transformed into Mister Pigeon
"Coo coo. My dear pigeons it's time to show all of Paris who the superior species is in this world.* Mr. Pigeon said as he blew his bird caller which was heard by every pigeon all over Paris which made them flock over to Mister Pigeon where a flock created a pigeon jetpack on his back
"Once Paris has known who the superior species are then the entire world will fall to the Pigeons." Mr. Pigeon said as he flew off into the air
"But first it's time for criminals to have fun in this city without any Law enforcement spoiling their fun." Mr. Pigeon said as he blew into his bird caller where made the pigeons fly into different directions
All over Paris
A purse snatcher was following behind a woman not knowing a police officer was walking behind watching everything so when the Purse snatcher went for the purse that is when the Police officer shouted out
"Paris Police, you are under arrest!" A Paris Police officer shouted which made the Purse Snatcher run off with the police officer running after him while all over Paris, Criminals were keeping the police busy just as Mr. Pigeon said then Mr. Pigeon issued the command for all pigeons to kidnap every law enforcement in the city which they did just as they were about to capture the criminals they were arresting.
"It's all going according to plan." Mr. Pigeon said as he watched his pigeons bring in every police, park rangers in the city, security guards including the ones in front of MDC which made the building to go into lockdown mode and the Anti-akuma police as well
When the building went to Lockdown mode, Marinette quickly turned on the Bugout blog to see what was happening in the city
"We are getting reports all over Paris, that Pigeons. Yes you heard me right. Pigeons are kidnapping any kind of Law Enforcements officers and taking them to God knows where." Bugout reporter said
"Due to high Pigeon numbers in the sky, the Bugout copter is grounded." Reporter said
"The question is? Is this another one of Hawk Moth's akumatized or does someone actually have the power to command Pigeons without Hawk Moth's help." Reporter said
"We'll find out more once Ladybug has neutralise this threat." Reporter said
"This has been Mary Diamond reporting for the Bugout blog." Mary said which made Marinette turn her computer off and looked at Tikki
"Must be one of Hawk Moth's akumatized." Tikki said
"It has to be Xavier, the local resident Pigeon lover." Marinette said
"How will we get out of here, the building's in lockdown?" Tikki asked
"It's not fully locked down." Marinette said which made Tikki confused
"What do you mean by that?" Tikki asked
"Currently, we are in the office designer room right?" Marinette asked, making Tikki nod her head
"My office isn't locked down yet since I'm inside, and once I exit as Ladybug, then the entire building goes into lockdown until I have ended this threat." Marinette said
"Then what are you waiting for." Tikki said, which made Marinette smile as she ran out of her designer room and into her office, where she ran out onto the balcony and transformed into Ladybug just as she leapt off her balcony and when she did, reinforced shelters covered up the last two floors of her company as it went into full lockdown, where the defensive turrets went on full alert.
