Marinette's POV

It has been two days since the meeting; three weeks since Adriens disappearance and we made sure that we had a plan that we were sure would work. At least I hoped it does. Tikki and I have studied every aspect of the book and found a lot of information that we did not know about. We learned how to combine powers and what it could do. Last night I found a secret page in the middle of the book that contained unique information about the Ultimate Power. Tikki said that it was said that only the page would only appear for guardian worthy of the information. I have memorized the entire page in case we would come to need it. Tikki keeps hoping it does not come that far but I have a feeling that it will.

Hawkmoth has gotten stronger and based on last night's akuma he is growing impatient. We have decided it's now or never. Hopefully it all goes well.

No one's POV

*Knock-knock* Natalie knocks on the door to Mr. Agreste office and waits to be let in. Her palms of her hands and sweating, her body slightly trembling, and her breath is unsteady.*Keep it together Natalie* she thinks to herself. She takes a deep breath as she hear Gabriel say "You may enter" she then opens the door and walks slowly into his office. Natalie then clear her throat and begins to speak as she usually does clearly and showing no emotion "Sir we have found Ms. Dupain Cheng." A smirk appears on Gabriel's face as he replies "great now bring her to me."

 "Yes sir. Sir should I take Lila to the location with me for backup?" Natalie askes trying not to sound suspicious. "Yes do so but make sure she does not come back we no longer have use for her. I will be waiting here you have an hour." Gabriel says as he looks to be enjoying his victory early. "Yes sir" As Natalie walks out Gabriel sends an akuma for Lila. They then transformed and take their leave.

After 20 minutes of traveling both Volpina and Mayura arrived at the abandoned factory. As Natalie suspected Lila as eager for revenge. Volpina runs in the factory without waiting for Mayura to have her back. Natalie smiles "Just as expected". As Volpina opens the door she comes to see everything is dark and there is no sign of Ladybug anywhere. As she is about to react she feels a sharp pain in the side of her neck and everything quickly turns black.

An hour is close to coming to an end when the doors of the Agreste Mansion swing open. Gabriel stood at the top of the steps watching as Mayura drags a tied up Marinette Dupain Cheng inside. Marinette kept trying hard to fight from Mayuras' grip but was too weak and beat to achieve anything.

"Well, well, well if it isn't Paris beloved Ladybug." Gabriel spoke with a huge smirk on his cold face. "I bet you are wondering why you are here." He continues to speak as he is descending the stairwell. He gets close to her and whispers in her ears. "I am Hawkmoth" then he laughs evilly as he watches Marinette's eyes fill with fear. "It's really too bad because you would have been a great designer and addition to my company but now your life must come to an end."

Meanwhile Lila was still at the abandoned factory being injected by Alya with a memory loss serum. Marinette was given this by Master Fu who told her it was to be used in care of emergencies due to the fact that it will erase 5-6 years back of memories. "I know 5-6 years is a bit much she will never regain those years of memories back but it was better than what Hawkmoth had planned for her and it is safer for her not to remember anything about the miraculous." Alya tells Nino. After the giving her the right dose Nino untied her and took her to a nearby hotel for safety. Quickly leaving to catch up with the rest of the heroes.

Back at the Agreste Mansion "but now your life must come to an end." Marinette pulled back from Gabriel's touch in disgust. She tried to scream but her mouth had been taped up. "Save it, there is no one who can save you now. Natalie brings her to the layer." Gabriel said now angry.

As Gabriel walked in to the layer Adrien began to try to convince him to stop not noticing that it was too late. "Father please stop this, let me out can't you see this is not-"Adrien stopped speaking as he heard the muffling screams if a girl. Gabriel now transformed into Hawkmoth. Adrien then looked towards the sound and see Mayura dragging the tied up, crying, screaming Marinette. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped. He filled with rage as tears clouded his sight "Marinette!" he yelled making her turn her head to look at him. He saw the fear in her eyes and he yelled once again "No father don't do this please let her go."

"No! I am doing this for us Adrien for your mother!" Hawkmoth yells causing Adrien to continue to fill more with anger. "Natalie, how dare you! I trusted you how could you do this to me?" Adrien yells at Mayura making her turn to look at him giving her back to Hawkmoth "Sorry Adrien but my loyalty is to Gabriel and this had to be done" she replied as she added a wink at him. Adrien then caught on but knew he had to keep at it and his anger towards his father still grew. "I hate you Father I hate you." Adrien kept yelling in anger as his hands started to turn black releasing a dark fog like substance but no one noticed as his hands were still tied to his back.

Hawkmoth then turns and faces Marinette "Lets end this now." He says as he reaches foo Marinette's earrings. He then pulls them off her and places them on the cuffs of his jacket expecting to see the Kwami of creation but comes to find nothing happening. "What? Where is the Kwami?" Hawkmoth yells as he turns to look at Mayura. He sees a smile of Mayuras face and suddenly both she and Marinette both disappear leaving 4 feathers in their place.

"Natalie!" Hawkmoth yells in anger. Meanwhile the dark fog spread around the cuffs tying Adrien up making them turn into ashes. He is left confused wondering how in the world that happened.

"Well we all knew you loved Natalie but isn't this a bit much?" A voice is heard in the left side of the room making Hawkmoth turn. Just as he turns the woman walks further allowing the light to touch her skin and be seen. "Ladybug!" Hawkmoth growls. "I will kill you and I will take your miraculous." He adds evilly. Laughter is then heard of the right corner of the room. "Haven't you said that before? I don't know like a million times and failed." Viperion steps in to the light as he speaks between laughs. "Anyways we can't let you do that now can we?" Mayura now appears in front of the doors. "You! You betrayed me How could you?" Hawkmoth tries to charge towards Mayura but gets hit by none other than Adrien.

"How did you get out? Wait it does not matter! None of you can stop me." Hawkmoth yells as he gets back up and calls upon all his Akumas. "Fly away my little Akumas and evilise Paris." Everyone is left in shock wondering how is it possible for him to do that without using people's emotions. Everyone except Marinette of course she knew what was happening, she had read about it in the book she just never imagined he had become this powerful. Now scared of what is to come she calls for the heroes to attack.
