The next day our heroes were back at their School with Marinette, Alya and Rarity together reading a magazine
"Leo: Your heart's gonna roar" Marinette said as then Rarity flipped the page again before Adrien was seen on the magazine as Alya and Rarity laughed
Then the rest of our heroes walked towards Marinette
"How are our favorite girls doing?" Pinkie asked
"Ah hope you're not reading Fashion magazines" Applejack said
"Yeah, or else something way more worse is gonna happen" Rainbow said
"Like you'll have to spend P.E running next to us" Twilight said
"We would like to risk that" Rarity said
Then Rarity gave Twilight the magazine as both Marinette and Alya snickered
"Well, that didn't go as well as we planned" Fluttershy said
"Yeah" Twilight said
Meanwhile Adrien and Nino were hiding behind a wall as Nino spied on the girls and Spike
"FYI, Marinette's never gonna fall in love with a statue" Adrien taunted
Then Nino pulled Adrien back before shushing him
"You know I'm no good with the ladies, especially this one all of a sudden. I mean, dude, do I go up to her and crack her a joke? Shoot her a compliment? Invite her to a zoo? Play it serious?" Nino asked
"Nino, you're way over-thinking this. 'Invite her to a zoo', you serious?" Adrien asked
"Well, they have this really cool new exhibit there" Nino answered worriedly
"Listen, just be yourself, man" Adrien suggested
"That's easy for you to say, Mr-front-in-the-cover-Teen-Model-weekly. I'm not that cool" Nino said sadly
"You're cool too, dude, trust me--- or you wouldn't be my best bud. Invite her to the zoo. She'll say yes, 'I promise'" Adrien said
Then Nino got into his own brave position and puts his hat on before walking towards the girls which the girls didn't notice as he then leapt back to his hiding spot
"What if I act as a moronosaurus, or she disses me, or thinks I'm lame or---" Nino started before Adrien cuts him off
"Hey, I got your back" Adrien said
Then Adrien and Nino fist bumped
Later after School our heroes and Alya walked out of the School grounds as Rainbow groaned in relief
"Finally! School's over!" Rainbow groaned
"It's alright, Rainbow at least we've got time left before we have to go back home" Twilight said
"Okay then" Rainbow said
Meanwhile Adrien and Nino were hiding behind the School stairs before Adrien motioned Nino to go behind the girls and Spike
"Oh he's such a---" Marinette started before Alya cuts her off
"Smartie, hottie, suavisimo, yummy-tastic spellbinder!" Alya taunted
Then our heroes chuckled a bit
"All of the above" Marinette said
Just then Marinette bumped into Nino causing her to drop the book in fright while Nino stood still not even moving a bit before Adrien appeared behind him
"Oh, it's just Nino and Adrien" Fluttershy said embarrassingly
"Oh, so sorry" Adrien apologized before bumping Adrien on the arm "Right, Nino?" Adrien asked
"Sorry" Nino said expressionless
"Seems like someone is a bit weirded out or something" Twilight said
"I agree" Rarity said
Just then Marinette giggled a bit before looking back at the magazine before she picked it up yelped in fright which Adrien heard as Marinette bends down and went to pick up the magazine before she and Adrien bump heads
"Sorry" Marinette and Adrien apologized to each other
Then Marinette picked up the magazine quickly before hiding it behind her back
"Sorry about that, how could we make it up to you? Any ideas?" Adrien asked as he turned to Nino "Nino?" Adrien asked but Nino didn't answer "How about we all check out the.... Zoo today?" Adrien asked
"Yeah, I would love to see all kinds of animals I've never seen before even the bunny's teeny tiny little legs, can I go too pwetty pwease!" Fluttershy asked with puppy dog eyes
"Sure, word is they've got a new" Adrien starts before snapping his fingers in front of Nino
"Uh, they- they got a new panther" Nino said
Then Marinette and Fluttershy got a big grin
"Awesome idea, right Marinette? You love animals" Alya said "Even you Fluttershy" Alya said
"Uh, yeah, I, uh , I'm really into zoonimals, I mean, uh, anizools, I mean zoonimals, I" Marinette started before sighing in defeat
"Cool, say, after School, four o'clock?" Adrien asked before turning to Nino "Nino, sound good?" Adrien asked as Nino nodded his head nervously "Cool, four o'clock then" Adrien said
"Four!" Marinette said lovingly before Adrien noddes and walks off with Nino pulled behind him "Four o'clock" Marinette said lovingly "Yeah" Marinette said as if she was in a trance
When Adrien and Nino were fully gone Alya was trying to put Marinette out of the trance with Pinkie doing the same for Fluttershy who was grinning in a trance
"Uh, earth to Marinette? You do realize the guy you're completely crazy about has just asked you out, right?" Alya asked
"Yeah" Marinette said before freaking out "Huh, wait, what?! No, not like this! Not here, not today! I haven't washed my hair! I'm not wearing my lucky socks! Fine! Help me, Alya! I can't do it alone!" Marinette said freaking out while holding onto her
"Way to be a buzzkill" Twilight said
"As for you Fluttershy, you do realize you're going to the zoo, right?" Pinkie asked
"Yeah" Fluttershy said with a grin before realizing something "I brought my animal food, right?" Fluttershy asked
"Uh no" Pinkie said worriedly
"Then I'm not ready for this! I need to get to the animal shop!!!" Fluttershy yelled freaking out
"Can you both stop the buzzkills!!!" Twilight yelled out
"Yeah, it's not fun if you two do it" Rainbow said angrily
"I'm sorry Dashie but I had to put her out of the trance!" Pinkie said angrily
"And to do that you had to make it a buzzkill, right?" Rainbow asked
"I wasn't trying to!" Pinkie yelled out
Then Rarity and Applejack put their arms on each of them calming them down
Meanwhile somewhere at the lake Adrien and Nino were sitting on a bench
"How did you do that, dude?" Nino asked
"Like I said: 'Just be yourself'" Adrien answered
"Right, sure, if I could be yourself; myself don't work that way" Nino said in defeat
Then Adrien takes a sip from his orange juice
"You're being ridiculous, of course you can, and when you're alone with Marinette at the zoo later on---" Adrien started while throwing the empty orange juice can in the trash
But both Adrien and Nino didn't notice the can falling in the trash can as Nino turned around
"Whoa, what do you mean alone with Marinette? Oh no, dude. You're coming with me. You can't leave me alone by myself" Nino said worriedly while shaking his head and hand making Adrien faceslap and sigh
"No prob, Nino. What are friends for?" Adrien answered
Then Nino and Adrien fistbumped
Later at the zoo Fluttershy and Marinette were putting their earbuds on and turned it on as Fluttershy then heard her friends' voices and Marinette, Alya's
"One, two, one, testing. D'ya read me, girl?" Alya answered loudly through the earpiece
"I can hear you, but I still don't think I can go through with this" Marinette answered
"'Course, you can, just be yourself!" Alya suggests through the earpiece
"Remember the last time I did that?" Marinette asked
(Flashback start)
"Just be yourself, Marinette" Alya suggests through the earpiece
Then Marinette with a determined face walked inside the boy's bathroom before a boy was heard screaming causing her to run out of there and close the door just before a toilet paper smacked it
(Flashback end)
"Okay, Fluttershy, while I don't like animals as much as you do, you need to take a deep breath in and a deep breath out whenever you see an animal" Rarity suggested
"Yes, and we'll follow your every lead, now let's try it with the hippo's behind you" Twilight said
Then Fluttershy turned around to the two stone hippo's as she took a deep breath in before letting it loose
"That's it, now don't be shy whenever you see other people coming across" Rainbow suggested
"Remember the last time when I did that" Fluttershy said with a frown
(Flashback start)
We then saw Rainbow and Fluttershy in their filly forms flying across Cloudsdale in Nightmare Night before another foal flew by while in a zombie pegasus costume making Fluttershy yelp and zip back to her home
(Flashback end)
After explaining that Rainbow chuckled nervously as the others glared at her
"That was ages ago, and we're older now, so don't worry about that" Rainbow said
"Still, be yourselves and look where you're going" Alya suggested through the earpiece
"Oh, where are you, love of my life?" Marinette said worriedly
"And you little birdies" Fluttershy said worriedly
Just then Tikki appeared from Marinette's purse
"How's Adrien supposed to be the love of your life if you can't even talk to him?" Tikki asked
Then Marinette closes her purse again
"Tikki, stay out of sight" Marinette ordered before getting determined "I'm gonna talk to him, you'll see, I will speak to him!" Marinette said determined
"And I will not freak out of seeing animals" Fluttershy said determined
"That's right, girl! Way to be motivated!" Alya complimented through the earpiece
"You too Fluttershy" Bon Bon complimented
"Yeah" Fluttershy and Marinette said
Then Fluttershy and Marinette giggled to each others as they turned to the side before freaking out as there came the brown boy and Kim a few feet away from them as the latter ones waved towards Twilight and Fluttershy
"Hey, Marinette and Fluttershy!" Kim waved
Then Marinette and Fluttershy sighed in relief
"False alarm" Marinette said relieved
Then Max and Kim walked to the two
"Hey, Kim, Max; What are you doing here?" Fluttershy asked
"We heard the new panther's here, I wanna see who's get the bigger guns!" Kim explained showing his muscles
"Do you two want to come with us?" Max asked
"Marinette, target at ten o'clock" Alya called out
"Aha, I mean, uh, thank but... No thanks, I'm waiting for someone. Uh, you go ahead" Marinette said
"But Fluttershy may still go if she wants" Twilight said
"I'll go" Fluttershy said
"'Kay, maybe we'll see you later, then" Kim said
"Yes, and good luck" Fluttershy said
Then Fluttershy along with her friends who were still secretly hiding walked together with Max and Kim
"Yeah, later" Marinette waved
When the trio were gone Marinette looked around for Adrien but didn't see him before he noticed another person nearing her that being Nino making her confused as she talked through the intercom "Where's Adrien?" Marinette asked
"I don't know!" Alya called through the speaker through the earpiece
"Uh, hey, Nino" Marinette greeted before looking behind him "Uh, isn't Adrien with you?" Marinette asked
Then Nino shrugs as Adrien secretly popped up from another place
"Tell her you'll both be better off without me" Adrien suggested through the earpiece
"We'll be better off without me" Nino said bluntly
"Huh?" Marinette asked confused
Then Plagg secretly popped up from between Adrien's hair
"Ah" Plagg said as Adrien tried to shush him "This trip is turning out to be a lot more interesting than I thought. Turn up the volume!" Plagg suggested
"Uh, without him, I mean, we don't need Adrien to hang out at the zoo" Nino suggested
Then Alya spoke from the earpiece
"Of course we do, you dumbo!" Alya called out through the earpiece
"Of course we do, you dumb--- Oh I mean, wasn't he supposed too come? Don't you wanna wait for him?" Marinette asked
Then Adrien spoke from the intercom
"Tell her you want to be alone with her" Adrien suggested through the earpiece
"Not yet!" Nino whispered to Adrien secretly
"What was that?" Marinette asked
"You're right; we'll wait" Nino answered
"No! What are you talking about? Don't wait for me; I'm not coming!" Adrien called out through the earpiece
Then Nino stood still nervously
Meanwhile there was another person who was a fat person that had dark brown hair which was short, side burns and beard, it also had a lighter brown skin and grayish tangelo eyes, it also wore glasses with large black frames on it's forehead, but never wears them. it appears to be wearing a Hawaiian shirt that is pale yellow with pale pink and light amaranthtish gray palm designs. On it's left wrist, it was also wearing a bracelet that features the vampire's teeth. it also wears pale green jeans and brown work shoes and was working in the panther's place giving a panther some food
"Look what daddy's brought for you, only the finest for my baby" The fat guy said
Then the panther started eating
Just then, Kim, Max and Fluttershy arrived with shocked faces
"Whoa! Look at the size of that piece of meat it's eating Kim said in shock
"Typical diet for a feline species requiring the strength to run at speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour" Max explained
"60 miles per hour? Is that all? I thought panthers were much faster than that, I bet I could beat it in a race" Kim said
"Impossible, no human being could compete with my panther" The fat guy said
"Is that so? What place did your cat come in at the County Athletics Tournament? I came in first place" Kim said proudly
"You can't possibly compare yourself to my panther, kiddo" The fat guy said
"No need to, I'm obviously the better looking one" Kim said
Then the panther growled
"Stop Kim! You're making him mad!" Fluttershy said in shock and anger
"Hey, kitty, kitty. How about a little race with me, huh? Last one's a rotten egg!" Kim suggested
"Let's see, with a 6 feet-per-second win behind you and 45 degrees to the north-east... I don't think you'd be a rotten egg. You'd be lunch" Max calculated which shocked Kim
"Whoa! That's good to know and also a bit gross" Fluttershy said in shock and disgust
"Your friends are right, Kiddo, now please leave, she needs peace and quiet while she eats. You're stressing her out" The fat guy said
"Oh dear, we'd be glad to" Fluttershy said
Then the panther growls again
"Aww, stressed out, are we, miss panthie? You're talking about a wild animal, dude" Kim taunted
Then the panther roared loudly
"Leave now! Or I'll have you kicked out of the zoo immediately!" The fat guy ordered angrily
"Come on, Max. Let's leave that poor widdle kitty alone with his angwy babysitter!" Kim said
Then Kim, Max and Fluttershy walked off with Fluttershy being mad at Kim
"I would like to take mine back home but I'm afraid it will eat me before I could" Fluttershy said sadly
"Don't ya worry sugarcube, me and Twilight will get you a panther whenever we get home" Applejack said through the earpiece
"Thanks Applejack" Fluttershy whispered
Then panther growled while the fat guy stared madly
Meanwhile in Hawk Moth's lair we saw Hawk Moth standing there watching the scene unfold as the window opened up
"Unleashing the animal in each of us, I like that idea" Hawk Moth said as a butterfly went onto Hawk Moth's palm as Hawk Moth used his other hand to turn it into an Akuma before sending it into the air
"Go ahead, my little Akuma, fly off and take control of that zookeeper!" Hawk Moth ordered
Then the Akuma flew off into the air and to it's destination
Meanwhile Marinette and Nino were still together with Alya and Adrien in their hiding spots
"You sure taking us time, huh?" Marinette asked "He's not coming, is he?" Marinette asked
Then Adrien spoke from Nino's earpiece
"Repeat after me. Yes he is, but first I wanted to take the opportunity to..." Adrien started in the earpiece as Nino repeated
"Yes he is, but first I wanted to take the opportunity to..." Nino repeated
""Tell you that I love you, Marinette" Adrien suggested through the earpiece
"Tell you that I--- Gahhh--- Love a girl that I don't know how to tell her!" Nino repeated
"Hey, what are you doing?" Adrien asked in shock and confusion in the earpiece
"You do? Well I can help you with that" Marinette said
"You, giving expert advice on how to tell someone you love them? Can't wait to hear this one!" Alya said in shock and disbelief in the earpiece
"Can't wait to hear this one" Marinette mocked through the earpiece
"What?" Nino asked
"Uhh... Can't wait to hear... About this lucky girl!" Marinette said
"Oh, yeah..." Nino said forcing a smile
"Tell her it's you!" Adrien suggested
"It's youuuu... Uur best friend Alya!" Nino said
Then Marinette, Adrien and Alya gasped in shock and disbelief
"Alya? Awesome!" Marinette said with a big smile
Just then Alya spoke through the earpiece
"No! No! It's not awesome!" Alya yelled in both shock and confusion
"I can fix up a date for you guys!" Marinette said through the earpiece
"Say what?! Seriously?!" Alya asked in shock as Alya tried to call out to Nino in the earpiece "You didn't even talk to me first!" Alya called out before calling Marinette back in the earpiece "Uh-uh! Nino's like... A brother to me! Bleugh! No! End of discussion!" Alya said in anger
"He's gonna be so sad if you don't" Marinette said through the earpiece
"Did you say something?" Nino asked
"I said... It'd be so sad if you didn't tell her!" Marinette said
Then Alya growled in disbelief
Meanwhile the fat guy was still looking at the newest panther before an Akuma hits it's vampire fang armband causing him to stare through Hawk Moth in the butterfly glasses
"Animan, I am Hawk Moth. I offer you the power to seek revenge, for a small price" Hawk Moth said
"Yes, Hawk Moth" The fat guy said
Then the fat guy transforms into an black panther similar to the on who was taunted before he reached for Kim, Max and Fluttershy with a lot of animals by his side
"Hey, kiddo. Still up for a little race? Go ahead, I'll give you a headstart" The panther said
"Oh no! Run you two! Run!" Fluttershy ordered
Then the panther roared causing Kim, Max and Fluttershy to run in fright
"He's mine" The panther suggested
Meanwhile hiding in plain sight was our heroes who saw the whole scene unfold
"We gotta stop them" Twilight said
"I agree" Rainbow said
"Mane Six and More, Pony Up!" The Mane Five, Bon Bon, Lyra, Octavia, Vinyl and Derpy yelled out before transforming
Then our heroes splitted up
Meanwhile Marinette and Nino were still together until Alya talked in the earpiece
"This whole date with Nino is not happening!" Alya said in anger
Just then Kim and Max ran away in fright with Fluttershy trying to find a hiding spot before Rainbow flew in and brought her to safety
"We better ditch this place!" Nino suggested
Then Nino ran in fright with Marinette following behind with a proud smile with the animals behind her as Adrien hid tighter under the bench with Marinette hiding in the bushes
"Why didn't you listen to Alya, Marinette?" Tikki asked
"I couldn't help it! I didn't want Nino to be sad" Marinette answered
"We'll deal with that later, now it's time to transform" Tikki suggested
Meanwhile Adrien was still hiding
"We've got to do something" Adrien said angrily
Then Plagg sighed while on top of Adrien
Then we saw Kim still running from the panther before the panther ran to the front as he then stopped in shock
"You lost, kiddo. What do you think of panthers now?" Kim asked
Then the panther walked towards Kim as Kim slowly backed off in worry and fright
"That... Panthers are the best?" Kim asked
Just then Ladybug appeared between Kim and the panther
"And what do you think of Ladybugs?" Ladybug asked
Then Cat Noir appeared
"And another black cat?" Cat Noir asked
Then our heroes except Spike appeared
And about colorful ponies?!" Pinkie asked
Then Spike ran by
"And a baby dragon?" Spike asked
"I think I'm higher on the food chain" The panther said
"I think that was a bad idea" Fluttershy said worriedly
Just then butterfly glasses appeared
"Animan, take these jewels! Their Miraculouses! Bring them to me!" Hawk Moth ordered
"If you value your life, get out of here! Now!" Ladybug ordered
Then Kim ran off with Animanbehind him before Twilight used her magic to stop him before he turned into a huge pink with green belly dinosaur causing her to let go and pant heavily as Animan turned into a panther and ran after Kim
"Why'd you let go?!" Rainbow asked
"You think I'm powerful enough to hold a dinosaur?!" Twilight asked
"Well, no, but I've seen you carry a Ursa Minor?!" Rainbow yelled in anger
"She's right you know!" Spike said in anger
"Well, I'm sorry but we gotta save Kim!" Twilight said in anger
Just then before Animan could eat Kim whole Ladybug used her yo-yo to catch Animan as he dropped with a pained grunt on the ground
"Cat Noir,guys, his bracelet. The Akuma must be in inside the charm!" Ladybug said
"You hold him, I grab the bracelet" Cat Noir ordered
Just then a few animals were seen staring at the two
"Uh, shall we talk about the elephant in the room, literally?" Pinkie asked
"Even though that was a good pun, we're not gonna be talking about it" Twilight answered
Then Cat Noir and Fluttershy zipped off
"Didn't I tell you to take a deep breath in and a deep breath out?!" Rarity called out after Fluttershy before running after her
Then the animals got close to them as our heroes ran for safety
"We gotta do something!" Applejack yelled out in fright
"I'm getting tired!" Spike called out
Then Twilight pulled Spike towards her before he landed on her back as Twilight continued to run after her friends
"We need to put them all back in their cages!" Cat Noir ordered
"Oh, really? I'm sure they'll do it without putting up a fight!" Ladybug yelled out as then our heroes neared Alya and Nino who got chased by a gorilla as they jumped over the two "I think we'd better split up!" Ladybug suggested
Then our heroes splitted up, Ladybug, Twilight, Spike, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Vinyl and Lyra ran after the gorilla while Cat Noir, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Octavia, Bon Bon and Derpy ran off in fright as Ladybug and Twilight grabbed Ladybug and trapped them in a cage
"Stay there until the day is saved" Rarity suggested
"Yes, and you'll be safe" Lyra said in agreement
Then Rainbow and Vinyl closed the door before running off not knowing Nino was a bit embarrassed
"Uhhh... Hey, what's up?" Nino asked
Then Alya groaned
Meanwhile Cat Noir's team were still trying to escape from the animals before Ladybug's team appeared on a roof
"There's too many of them! We can't capture them all" Ladybug called out
"Yeah, and even if we do it will take months to do so" Spike said
"Well, what are we gonna do then?" Cat Noir asked
Then Cat Noir's team jumped towards Ladybug's team
"Back to plan A, if we can destroy his bracelet, I can capture the Akuma. Everything will go back to normal!" Ladybug said
"But he can transform into a lot of animals" Applejack said
"Even deadly ones" Fluttershy said worriedly
"Still, it sounds like a good idea" Cat Noir said
Just then a lot of animals escaped the zoo while Ladybug and Cat Noir got to their usual spot where the yo-yo was on the ground uncrushed
"But... It's never been broken before!" Ladybug said in shock
"He didn't actually break it" Cat Noir said
Then Cat Noir gave Ladybug her yo-yo back
"Then how did he get away?" Ladybug asked
"Well he can transform into any animal so he probably escaped by turning into a mouse or something" Twilight thought
"But we've only seen him turn bigger so why do you think he can get smaller?" Pinkie asked
"True" Twilight said
"Still, we better find him... I mean, that boy, before he does" Cat Noir suggested as then our heroes used their items or wings or horns to fly off as Twilight and Rarity used their magic to sent Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Octavia and Bon Bon to fly off before they arrived at a roof as Ladybug and Cat Noir checked before he found something
"Over there!" Cat Noir called out
Then the others turned around only to see Kim backing off of Animan
Meanwhile at that exact place Animan said something
"It's down to just the two of us, kiddo" Animan said
Just then Kim tripped and fell over as Animan got ready to attack him as he sprung towards him before Ladybug pulled him back
"You're not gonna get away this time!" Ladybug said in anger
Then Cat Noir got to Kim and wrapped his arm around him
"Quick, go and hide in the first building you come to" Cat Noir ordered
Then Cat Noir let's Kim stand up as Kim then ran off to safety as Animan glared angrily
"You'll never get me!" Animan said angrily
Then Animan transforms into a brown eagle with a white face and orange legs and beak as he flew away
"Now we know how he got away earlier" Cat Noir said
Then Bon Bon pats Twilight on the back who figured out the trick too easily as Twilight turned around causing Bon Bon to smile warmly with Twilight following behind
"Where's Kim?" Ladybug asked as Cat Noir checked his locator on the phone before he pointed it to Ladybug as the thing flickered "Good job, kitty" Ladybug complimented
Then our heroes started running
Meanwhile Kim arrived at Marinette's home as he bursts inside
"Help! Rescue me! Please!" Kim called out of breath
Then Kim fell onto his knees as Marinette's parents reached for him and pulled him up
"It's okay, son. Come this way" Marinette's Dad suggested as he helped Kim walking "Easy" Marinette's Dad said
Then the door of Marinette's home closed as an crocodile walked through the streets not knowing Kim was inside Marinette's home as Ladybug and Cat Noir jumped on Marinette's room balcony as a beeping sound was heard
"He's safe inside this building. Panthers can't open doors, so it won't go inside" Cat Noir explained
"Well that's a relief" Rainbow said
"Panthers can't, but what if he morpohs into a smaller animal?" Vinyl asked
"Like a mouse, or..." Ladybug asked
"Riiiight. But we do have an advantage over him, we know exactly where to find his prey" Cat Noir said
"Animan will sniff him, sooner or later, but it's bought us a bit of time to plan our next move" Ladybug said worriedly
Meanwhile a man was fixing his car until he saw a bear rubbing his back against a car making him run away in fright which Cat Noir noticed
"We have to stop Animan before Paris turns into a Jungle" Cat Noir said worriedly
"I love Jungles!" Fluttershy said with a big grin as the others glared "My bad" Fluttershy apologized
"Follow me" Ladybug ordered
Then Ladybug jumped to the ground with the other heroes following behind as they went inside the bakery where Marinette's Mom and Dad were protecting Kim
"Hi, mo---am" Ladybug greeted
"Oh, you're... You're, you're Ladybug and her friends!" Marinette's Mom said in shock
"Yeah, you know it, and were here for a mission" Rainbow said
"What is it?" Marinette's Dad asked
"We want you two and Kim to go upstairs" Twilight suggested
"And we'll come with you for safekeeping" Lyra said
Then the trio nodded as our heroes, Kim and Marinette's Mom and Dad went upstairs where they were then watching the news
"We interrupt this broadcast with a special report. Animals are invading paris. The Police work harder trying to contain the situation, for your safety, stay in your home and remain calm. Mayor Bourgoeis will address the---" Mrs. Chamack explained before Marinette's Mom turned off the TV in order of Pinkie
"Now you'll be safe here" Twilight said
"Just stay seated and don't turn off the TV and you'll be fine and if you do have some problems or something with the Animals or Animan call Ladybug" Applejack suggested
Then Kim nodded with a sigh as Ladybug then went to him
"Can I borrow this?" Ladybug asked pointing to the band
"Sure" Kim answered
Then Kim gave Ladybug the wristband while Cat Noir was checking the picture of Marinette with her parents and our heroes
"Come on, Cat Noir" Ladybug ordered
Then our heroes left with Fluttershy being the last one who turned around for a bit
"Also just in case things get worse lock all doors and windows and we'll take care of the rest, rest assured also thanks sir for all your help" Fluttershy thanked
"Your welcome" Marinette's Dad said
Then Fluttershy walked off closing the door
At the bottom of the stairs Ladybug puts the wristband on the stair railing
"Et voila" Ladybug said
Just then our heroes went to the window of the bakery as they watched before Ladybug sprayed a scent on our heroes
"My hair!" Rarity yelled freaking out
Then Rarity tried to rub the scent off her mane but it didn't actually work
"Whoa! What's that stuff?" Cat Noir asked
"Air Freshener!" Ladybug answered "It'll cover up our scent so he can't smell us" Ladybug explained
"Thanks" Cat Noir thanked
"Ugh! No thanks! Yes a hair spray is fine but not a Air Freshener! That makes me feel like I rekt!" Rarity yelled angrily
"Calm down Rarity it's just an Air freshener" Applejack comforted
"Yeah, and if you don't want to be eaten alive you should calm down" Twilight said
"Fine but you'll have to pay for a spa day with me as punishment" Rarity said angrily
"I'll think about it" Ladybug said
"I've always wanted to smell like... Ocean summer breeze?" Cat Noir said before he notices a small box "Couldn't we capture him in something like this?" Cat Noir asked
"Only if he transforms into something bigger" Ladybug said before she noticed a bus as she walks back towards the window "Would that make a big enough cage?" Ladybug asked
"Definitely. But how could we get him inside there?" Cat Noir asked before he got a tingly feeling "He's coming" Cat Noir said as our heroes bowed down
Then we saw Animan flying as an eagle across Paris, searching for Kim before he stopped in front of the bakery
"It's working, he's sniffing out Kim" Ladybug said with a smile
Then Ladybug felt someone sniffing her as she turned to Pinkie and Cat Noir who suddenly stopped as she then looked unamused "Follow me" Ladybug ordered
Then our heroes stood up and ran off towards the side of the house before Animan turns into a ladybug and goes through the door as Ladybug then pounced on him and caught him in a box
"A ladybug? Smart choice" Ladybug said dumbfounded while also smiling before he turned into a bigger animal and that being a panther before they had to be chased out
"I was telling you that was a bad idea!" Rarity called out
"I'm sorry!" Ladybug yelled out
Then our heroes jumped into the bus with Animan following behind
"Couldn't he choose a slower-moving animal?!" Cat Noir yelled out in fright
Then our heroes hid behind a few chairs as the Animan walked and looked around before they put on their brave faces and nodded before they jumped over him before the Panther saw them as Cat Noir used his stick as a weapon to hold him there before Animan tried to get the stick away as Ladybug got worried
"Where's the buttons for the doors?" Ladybug asked before pressing all the buttons but it doesn't work
"You know, those buttons don't do anything, right?" Twilight asked
"You're right! No keys!" Ladybug said in anger
"Well it's official we're doomed" Rainbow said in sadness
Just then Animan turns into a bear and smacks Rainbow, Twilight and Cat Noir on the ground
"Rainbow!" Applejack, Pinkie, Lyra, Bon Bon and Derpy called out
"Twilight!" Fluttershy, Rarity, Vinyl and Octavia called out
Just then Ladybug saw them in trouble
"You had to literally jinx this!" Twilight yelled out
"I'm sorry okay!" Rainbow said in anger
Just then butterfly glasses appeared in front of his face
"Take their elements and Miraculouses! The Ring, Necklace and Crown! The Ring, Necklace and Crown!" Hawk Moth ordered
Then Ladybug kicked Cat Noir his stick back as Cat Noir used this to pull Animan up as Ladybug used her yo-yo to bring the others back as Cat Noir jumped towards them making them ready to fight again as Animan turns into a ladybug before Cat Noir threw the stick as he dodged before the stick returned to Cat Noir as he caught it before Animan turned back into a panther as got tired
"All these transformations seem to be tiring him out" Ladybug said in shock
"Then let him wear himself out, it'll make it easier to capture his akuma" Cat Noir said
Then Cat Noir ran towards the bus control before
After finishing the Cataclysm dance Cat Noir puts his hand on the controls causing it to break and the doors to open as our heroes ran out of the bus before the bus stopped and broke
"It's not exactly a cage, but... It'll do" Ladybug said
Then Animan turned into a bear and roared
"I don't think he can bear to listen to that noise" Cat Noir said
"Good pun Kitty Cat" Pinkie complimented with a laugh
"You around is too much to bear" Ladybug said before returning the watch "Now we wait" Ladybug said
Then Animan turned back into a ladybug and tried to go through the door before turning into a gorilla as he smacked at the doors but it also didn't work
Ready to free the akuma?" Cat Noir asked
Then Animan got tired again as he fell to the ground sleeping
"It's working!" Ladybug called out
Just then Animan turned into a dinosaur
"Uh guys! I think we've got a problem" Vinyl said
Then our heroes turned to see Animan a dinosaur and wrecking the bus before he roared loudly as Spike and Fluttershy yelped and zipped off
"Hey! Since when do extinct animals count?" Cat Noir asked
"The T-Rex might have disappeared a long time ago, but technically it's... Still an animal" Ladybug answered
"Yeah, that was the creature that did this, remember" Twilight said
"Oh yeah, I forgot" Cat Noir said
Then Animan jumped off the bus and roared while our heroes stood there frightened of what's yet to come
"Well, I know some other animals that will soon be extinct... The Cat, the Ponies, the Dragon and the Ladybug" Cat Noir said worriedly
"Run for your lives!" Pinkie yelled out
Then our heroes started running after Spike and Fluttershy with Animan behind them and when Animan wanted to eat them our heroes dodged causing Animan to hit a shop's wall as our heroes then hid behind a car while shuddering in fear causing Animan to search for them as Ladybug checked to see if it was safe before
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug called out before a car jack appeared as she caught it "Huh? A car jack?" Ladybug said
"Too bad Animan doesn't have any flat tires" Cat Noir said sadly
Then our heroes checked to see if Animan was still searching them and he was
"Look how small his front arms are" Ladybug said
"So it won't be great at basketball, what are you getting at?" Cat Noir asked
"You climb on top of him where he can't swipe at you, and while you're distracting him, I'll floor him!" Ladybug suggested
"Sounds like a good plan, we can be very distracting" Cat Noir said
"We'll help" Rainbow said
"Good luck girls" Twilight said
"Don't worry, us pegasi are strong enough to sent him on top of it" Derpy said
"I agree" Fluttershy said in agreement
Just then Animan found them as our heroes ran with Rainbow, Fluttershy and Derpy preparing for the ride of their lives as they then catched Cat Noir and pulled him on top of Animan who then tried to shake them off
"Oh no! Rarity, now!" Twilight ordered
"Okay!" Rarity said
Then Rarity used her magic to freeze Animan's head who then struggled to have Rarity go but failing as Pinkie then threw a lot of meat food inside Animan who then gulped them down as Lyra, Twilight and Vinyl helped Rainbow, Fluttershy and Derpy get down by quietly motioning to fly down as Bon Bon, Ladybug and Applejack readied themselves to kick Animan down before Ladybug threw the yo-yo at Animan's leg as it wrapped onto him keeping him stuck making Applejack and Bon Bon use their greatest kicks they've never done in their lives to knock Animan down with Applejack and Bon Bon using the former's lasso to keep him pinned down
"Well, that's weird we didn't have to use this, what does it mean?" Ladybug asked
"Well, I guess that means we rock as a team" Cat Noir said
"Yeah, I agree" Rainbow said
Then Cat Noir and Rainbow went to Animan which Ladybug and Twilight took notice off
"Cat Noir, Rainbow, Wait!" Ladybug called out
Then Ladybug and Twilight pulled the reckless duo back just before Animan roared
"I know what to do" Ladybug said
Then Ladybug recklessly ran towards Animan
"Ladybug!" Cat Noir called out
"Enjoy your meal!" Ladybug called out
Then Ladybug jumped into Animan's mouth as our heroes could only watch in horror
"No!!!" Our heroes yelled out
Then our heroes stood up as avenge as our heroes prepared their knuckles or items to fight
"Your so gonna pay for this!" Cat Noir said angrily
"I agree" Fluttershy said angrily
"For Ladybug!" Twilight yelled out
Just then something impossible happened, Animan's mouth opened which was caused by the lucky car jack Ladybug called out to as Ladybug then jumped out making everyone cheer as Ladybug went to the akumatized object and got it off before crushing it causing the Akuma to fly off
"No more evil doing for you little akuma" Ladybug said swiping her finger on her yo-yo "Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug called out spinning her yo-yo before she threw the yo-yo as the Akuma got caught causing Ladybug to bring the yo-yo back and catching it "Gotcha!" Ladybug said before she pressed a button as the butterfly flew off "Bye, bye little butterfly" Ladybug called as she then grabbed the car jack and threw it in the air while calling "Miraculous ladybug!" Ladybug called out as everything got fixed and the animals returned to the zoo and Animan returned to his fat guy form
"Never do that again, please" Twilight suggested
"I won't, I promise, but for now---" Ladybug started before
"Pound it!" Our heroes except Cat Noir called out hitting each other's hooves or knuckles
Just then Cat Noir hugged Ladybug
"That was a wild ride" Cat Noir said hugging
Then the others hugged too
"We thought we lost you" Spike said
"Yeah, and even though I don't care about mushy stuff, that was the worst idea a loving family of us could put through" Rainbow said in anger
Just then Cat Noir's Miraculous beeped
"Whoops! Better take my whiskers and run!" Cat Noir suggested
Then Ladybug and the others watched him leave making them smile tightly
"See you next time, Cat Noir" Ladybug said
Then Twilight went to the fat guy with the others following behind as she and Ladybug pulled out their hands at him
"What happened to me?" The fat guy asked
"Everything's okay. But you should get back to the zoo and check on your animals" Ladybug answered
"Yes, since I think they're hungry" Twilight said in anger
"Oh and I'll come with you as two citizens are in a cage" Fluttershy said
Meanwhile Hawk Moth was mad as he groaned after another failed chance
"You ruined everything, Ladybug. This is not how it was supposed to end! But I promise you, one day it will be me at the top of the food chain! And you'll be nothing!" Hawk Moth boasted angrily
A few hours later Marinette was back at home finished with the mission, together with the others
"Whew! Looks like our mission tired us out" Rarity said
"I agree, that was tiring" Spike said
"Let's agree never to speak of this again" Rainbow said
Then the others nodded in agreement before Marinette's phone rang as Marinette checked it, seeing Alya calling her
"Oh no! I forgot all about Alya! She's gonna be so mad at me!" Marinette said in worry
"And imagine if she knew you're the Ladybug who shut her up in a cage with Nino!" Tikki taunted
"Yeah, and she'd actually kill me. Guess I'll take 'mad', huh?" Marinette asked
"I thought we'd agree not to speak of this" Rainbow said in anger
Then Marinette started the call while walking towards the side door with her friends "Listen Alya, I'm sorry about earlier. I should have never told Nino I set up a date with you, I was just thinking. But I'll explain everything to him, so don't worry. Promise?" Marinette said as she got outside
Just then Marinette saw Alya standing in front of the bakery as they both cut the call before laughing it out before Nino came
"Thanks, Nino" Alya thanked
"Do you want one, girls?" Nino asked
"Yes please" Rainbow answered
Then the girls got one piece as Marinette was confused
"Uhh... What's he doing here?" Marinette asked
Just then Pinkie had a thought
"So, uh, is it official that you're both together?" Pinkie asked
"Ladybug locked us up together in the same cage all afternoon" Alya answered
"It turns out we have lots in common" Nino said in agreement "You know Marinette, the girl I've got a crush on?" Nino asked
"Oh yeah!" Marinette answered
"Actually, it was you" Nino said
"What?!" The others yelled out in shock and confusion as Marinette was just confused
"Or that's what I thought. But after chilling with Alya that whole time---" Nino started before
"Yeah, well... We don't have to give them all the deets, do we?" Alya asked interruptingly
"Oh, yeah, my bad" Nino apologized
"The funniest part of it was that Nino was being totally coached by Adrien at the zoo!" Alya said
"Say what?!" The others except Marinette yelled out in shock and confusion again
"Adrien was there?" Marinette asked in shock and confusion
"Yup! LOL, huh?" Alya asked
"Alya tells me you've been crushing on some dude" Nino said in agreement
Now was the time Marinette gasped, but this time with a frown
"He doesn't know who it is! Pinky swear! Cause... Cause I don't go and make decisions for other people!" Alya promised
"You promise?" Pinkie asked
"Yes" Alya said
"Are you definitely, definitely, defenitely sure?" Pinkie asked
"Yes" Alya answered
"Okay then" Pinkie said
"But if you want, I could totally make it happen!" Nino said before Pinkie glared dangerously and Alya stepped on his foot "That is, if I knew the dude!" Nino said
Then Pinkie glared more dangerous than ever
"Nino!" Alya yelled out
Fine. Pretend I never said anything... But if I... can help" Nino said again
Then Pinkie pulled out a water gun which looked like a real gun before Alya called out again
"Nino!" Alya called out again
