Ladybug reaches the park all out of breath. She wonders, why Adrien would ask to meet her here of all places?  It is not like him to ask her to meet up in public. Not when they risk the chance someone will see them together and then their secret will be out.  It is not like it is that easy to avoid the parazzi as Ladybug anymore than is for him as Adrien Agreste. 

        After all she is the heroine of Paris, France while Adrien is a famous person as well.  So, when then does he agree to meet here?  She has the funny feeling in her gut that something is wrong. Terribly wrong!  Yet, she still comes because how can she turn down the chance to see her boyfriend.  She believes it only safe to assume that his father is not to happy that Adrien broke up with Kagami like he did so long ago, nor that he refuses to go home.  She cannot say she blames him under the circumstances.

       "Ladybug, thank goodness, you came!" Adrien says.

       "Yes, of course, I did Adrien! "  Ladybug says.

      "Well,well, well, what do we have here?"  Ladybug hears a familiar yet sinister voice say behind her.  She looks up in horror to see Hawkmoth.

         "Adrien, watch out!"  Ladybug calls out as she sees a huge fire ball along with a boulder about to crash down on both of them.

         Instead of moving out of the way, Adrien rushes at the boulder to try to catch it.  He does,but it knocks him over. He stands back up and tries to push her out of the way of the fire ball,  but ends up unconscious on the ground. He does not move, he just lies still as if he were dead.  Only he is alive, hurt maybe, but alive!  He seems to be partially aware of what happens while he is out of it though.  He hears someone call out to him, but cannot seem to figure out who, where and why?  He wishes he could answer whoever it is since he is sure whoever she is worries for him.

        "What have you done?"  Ladybug calls out.

        "What have I done?  Oh, no I do believe the question is what have you done Ladybug?"  Hawkmoth says angrily.  He cannot believe is out here with the likes of her his worst enemy ever.

         "Yes, he is right!  It is you to blame for all this the damage, Adrien, everything!"  Volpina scoffs.

       "What?  Volpina you are here too?"  Ladybug's eyes widen in surprise at the sight of her.

        "Yes, took you long enough to realize it." Volpina scoffs once more. She then pulls out a huge sword and use it to make a gash across Ladybug's arm.  Then, as Ladybug whinces in pain, and starts to bleed, she laughs even more and louder than she has in long time.

         "Why are you here? "  Ladybug says in pain. She stands up despite her wound and fights Volpina.

       "Just give up already!  You have already lost!  You see your miraculous is as good as mine now that  you are up against us both without any help."  Hawkmoth scoffs.

       "I would not be so sure about that Hawkmoth!"  Carapace says.

      "Yeah, you said it man!"  Queen Bee remarks.

       "Ah, I am all shakin in my boots because their is a turtle and bee after us!"  Volpina says sarcastically.  She makes an illusion of  the biggest spider she can and sends it towards them. She thinks that will teach them to interfere with our plans.

      "Ha, that fake spider is the best you have got!" Carapace mocks her.

     "Yeah, that is so lame.  It just goes to show you have bad taste. "  Queen Bee says.

      "Please, do not hurt Adrien anymore."  Ladybug says weakly.

     "Ha, that is to bad.  You see it is to late to bargain for him.  He is to marry Kagami and he will if its the last thing he does."  Hawkmoth sneers at her.

       "K-Kagami, what does she have to do with all this?"  Ladybug ask.

     "As if you do not know, she is so heartbroken over Adrien's  break up with her that she will only be happy if he weds her, only you got in the way.  We cannot very well have this now can we?"  Hawkmoth says with much hatred towards her as he can muster.

      "Yeah, and you cannot stop the wedding!  It is to late, he will marry her and the families will unit their businesses for good." Volpina says.

       "I do not think so."  Queen Bee says.

      "Yeah, that is so not cool, dude." Carapace says.

     "There is no way he will ever marry her never, not even if you kill me.  He loves me!  You will see he will refuse."  Ladybug blurts out. She puts a hand over her mouth when she realizes what she just said. She looks over at Adrien and thinks, "Oh, no!  Forgive me my love!"

      Adrien wakes up and stands up.  He charges with full force at Volpina, yanks her necklace off and throws it in the dirt. He stomps on it and it breaks into many pieces. Then, he smiles when he sees the look of shock on Lila's  face.  He thinks, serves her right! 

      "What?  How?  How is this possible?  A civilian is not suppose to be able to defeat my villain."  Hawkmoth shrinks in horror.

     "Hmmfth, well from the looks of it he just did so take that Hawkmoth!" Carapace says.

    "Yeah, he sure did indeed."  Queen Bee says.

      "Uh, guys, look!" Adrien says.  He sees Ladybug fall over as the blood gushes from her arm.  

        "Adrien, please promise me that Paris will stay safe after I am gone. Promise me."  Ladybug says.

    "N-No, Ladybug, you cannot die. No!  I will not let you leave me. " Adrien says.

        Queen Bee charges at Hawkmoth as he attempts to escape and hits him with her top that contains the bee stinger.  Hawkmoth falls down and is unable to move. She takes his miraculous and gasp.  "Why it is Gabriel Agreste?"  Queen Bee says in surprise.

         "Father, you did this?  How?  Why? "  Adrien says sadly. He slaps his father hard across the face, then scoops up Ladybug and carries her to the hospital once inside he collapses with her in his arms.

        Carapace and Queen Bee return their miraculous along with the Hawkmoth one back to Master Fu. They also tell him that Ladybug is badly hurt and in the hospital along with Adrien. Then, they go to check up on their friends.
