Twilight asked "Not much just Adrien not being punished while Chloé is" Rainbow answered "Okay while that's good we have to figure out a way to win against Santa Claws" Applejack said "True, who knows, Christmas and Heart's Warming Eve will be saved then" Pinkie said Then the heroes rolled their eyes at the last part before they started running before they stopped as they saw Santa Claws flying away "Horrible Christmas, everyone!" Santa Claws called out Then the heroes zipped or teleported closer to him on the roof before they flew or ran after the sleigh before Rainbow interrupted him "Hey, I have a better idea!" Rainbow said "Oh yeah, tell me then" Santa Claws suggested Then music started playing Then Rainbow started flying around Santa Claws while singing trying to remind him of everything before putting her friends on the back instead of Applejack before doing Applejack too as she then pulled them into the air before putting her face in a muzzle catcher while singing as she flew faster than ever before making a Sonic Rainboom before singing the last songs as she stopped before the other reindeers kicked her sending her flying down as the heroes followed after her before they landed on the ground "Guess song's don't work" Pinkie said "Okay, why do I have the idea that a song is still needed but isn't?" Applejack asked "Dunno, we better find out" Pinkie said Then Pinkie winks at the camera "What were you winking at?" Twilight asked "The viewers" Pinkie answered pointing to an empty space Then the heroes turned towards the empty night sky before they rolled their eyes before running again "It's just the 13 of us" Ladybug said Just then Cat Noir jumped to them before running with them too "The three of us, m'lady" Cat Noir corrected "Cat Noir? Where were you? What happened to Adrien?" Ladybug asked "It's a long story, Cats have their little secrets too, y'know?" Cat Noir asked "Of course we all have our secrets just like me" Pinkie said "Can we please not talk about the secrets, I don't wanna talk about what happened last time" Twilight said "Yeah, I haven't forgot about it either but I will still trust you no matter what" Spike said "Thanks Spike" Twilight thanked When the heroes were close again they jumped onto the sleigh again before landing on the edge with the ponies and Spike in front of them as Santa Claws turned to them "Who's going to deliver presents to the children now, Santa Claws?" Cat Noir asked "There are no more presents, no more spirit of Christmas! You should've been good" Santa Claws answered angrily "Hey, I've been good all year round!" Pinkie said angrily "What about that one time where you ordered Spike to say things like your friends are not friends anymore?" Santa Claws asked "That's true you know" Spike agreed Then the heroes glared at Pinkie "Okay, I may have done that but that was just once, but Rainbow did worse she skipped a lot of cakes while pretending she ate them or Applejack who didn't want others to help, do I have to mention even Derpy hurting Twilight and Ladybug!" Pinkie said angrily Then Applejack tapped onto Pinkie's shoulder and glared at her "Really, are you blaming us for stuff we all didn't want to happen or something?" Applejack asked angrily "Yes indeedly, Spike even wanted to give us a cupcake which was poisoned and---" Pinkie started "Pinkie!" The rest of the heroes yelled out "Oops my bad, I'll focus on the task at hand" Pinkie said Then the heroes returned to glare at Santa Claws before Santa Claws threw a present at Cat Noir who then fell because of the explosion "I've been good all year round!" Cat Noir yelled worriedly "Not good enough, apparently" Ladybug said before she jumped off the sleigh and after Cat Noir before grabbing his worried arm as she then wrapped the yo-yo around the bottom oof the sleigh stopping the sleigh as the heroes dropped down to stop falling "How 'bout a nice sleigh ride, my wretched elves! Ho, ho, ho, ho! Hold on! Here we go!" Santa Claws called out Then Santa Claws flew the sleigh really fast as the ponies and Spike held on the railing while Ladybug and Cat Noir flew from the bottom as the heroes all screamed in fright before Cat Noir called out "Don't you have to have a license to drive one of these things?" Cat Noir asked worriedly Then Twilight teleported the heroes except Ladybug and Cat Noir on the roof as they ran again after the sleigh as Santa Claws prepared two presents "It's time to open your gifts, kiddies!" Santa Claws suggested Then Santa Claws threw the gifts before Twilight teleported the present away before Ladybug talked to them "I'm gonna try to stop the sleigh, you guys deal with Santa Claws!" Ladybug ordered "Aye, aye, captain!" Rainbow and Pinkie said Then the heroes went back on the sleigh as Cat Noir and Santa Claws started fighting with the heroes trying to get Santa off of the sleigh as Twilight made a shield so that Cat Noir won't fall before Ladybug jumped onto one of the reindeers as she tried to ride them as the reindeers got faster "Woah, slow down!" Ladybug suggested Just then Cat Noir dropped Santa Claws before grabbing him again "Cat Noir, what are you doing, drop him!" Applejack ordered But Cat Noir didn't want to drop his friend as he pulled him up "He's working with an akumatized victim!" Fluttershy asked in shock "I have never seen the light of day of that happening!" Bon Bon said "Yeah, we better have to fix it" Lyra said Then Spike went to the front before firing a fire ball at Cat Noir sending him flying down as Santa Claws went onto the sleigh "Thanks mister Spike!" Santa Claws thanked "I didn't meant to do that! Attack!" Spike called out Then the heroes fought Santa Claws again only to get dropped to the ground as Twilight teleported them save to the roof but they couldn't find Cat Noir as they saw Ladybug still trying to calm the reindeers down before noticing Cat Noir falling "Not again!" Ladybug said Then Ladybug dropped to the ground again before grabbing Cat Noir's hand as she used her yo-yo on a lantern post only for the two to fly onto Alya's balcony as the ponies and Spike landed after them "Spike, why did you have to fire a fireball at me?!" Cat Noir asked "Because you were helping and saving an akumatized victim!" Spike answered "Did you wa him to die?!" Cat Noir asked "You know if you weren't that trust worthy with villains I'd trust you but now I want to see you face Santa Claws on your own, I quit!" Spike said Then Spike puts the necklace down causing him to turn into a dog as he jumps down the balcony as the rest of the heroes reached for him only to see him leave angrily "This is all your fault!" Twilight said Then the ponies left too with the necklace following them in Twilight's magic as Alya, her sisters and her parents could only look in worry as Cat Noir wanted to leave until Ladybug stopped him "No, wait, this isn't gonna work" Ladybug said before throwing her yo-yo into the air "Lucky Charm!" Ladybug called out After throwing her yo-yo into the air it transformed into a box as Ladybug catches it "I hope it's not trying to tell us to move to another city" Cat Noir hoped Then Ladybug looked around for a clue as she looked everywhere before asking Alya's family for help "I need packing tape, scissors and office supplies, do you guys have any of those things here?" Ladybug asked Then Alya points to a drawer on top "In there" Alya answered Then Ladybug looked around before finding a present wrap and some packing tape before she went to Alya's Mom who pointed to her office desk "Right here!" Alya's Mom answered Then Ladybug ran towards the office desk as she saw some paper, scissors and pencil as she grabbed them too before she saw Alya's younger sisters holding up crayons and a notepad "And here!" Alya's younger sisters called out Then Ladybug grabs them before going to the ground and write a shopping list before giving it to Cat Noir "My Christmas list, go to the Dupain-Cheng bakery and grab these items, then meet me back at the Eiffel Tower, I'll explain everything once we're there" Ladybug suggested "I've always dreamed of being your Santa Claus, m'lady" Cat Noir said happily Then Ladybug pulls out the curtain off of the Dupain-Cheng roof as Cat Noir runs out of the room and when he was gone Ladybug prepares everything "Don't worry, Christmas will be back to normal soon enoough" Ladybug said Then Ladybug swings off as Alya called back to her "Go get 'em, Lady-Claus" Alya called out Meanwhile Spike was still walking back to the Dupain-Cheng house until the ponies approached her "Spike, wait!" Twilight called out Then Spike turned around angrily "What do you want?!" Spike asked "I know you're mad but did you really have to de transform in front of Alya's family's faces?" Applejack asked "Yes, because Cat Noir trusted a villain!" Spike answered angrily "Okay, yes that is true but did you want Santa Claws to die?" Rarity asked "Of course not but Santa Claws was akumatized and if he fell down and went unconscious or died Ladybug could've used her powers to safe him!" Spike said "Yeah, but what if it doesn't work?" Twilight asked "Okay fine, but this is your last chance!" Spike said Then Fluttershy gave Spike the Element back as Spike transformed again before going on Twilight's back as Twilight teleported the ponies and Spike towards the Eiffel Tower where they saw Ladybug and Cat Noir discussing things as they joined them and listened tightly A while later Santa Claws was flying towards the Eiffel Tower before something catches his eye as he flew towards it only to see a present "It's me" Santa Claws said in shock and disbelief Then Santa Claws turned to the railing as he saw Cat Noir singing that he was defeated us as Twilight along with the rest of the heroes made their best sad faces and when the song was done Santa Claws reached for the present "A present? For me?" Santa Claws asked Just then butterfly glasses appeared in front of Santa Claws' face again "Don't listen to him, it has to be a trap!" Hawk Moth ordered Then Santa Claws grabs the present right before Ladybug jumps out and wraps Santa Claws in her yo-yo as the others with sad eyes turned to Santa Claws with a grin "Merry Christmas!" Ladybug wished Then Cat Noir pulls out his stick to the sleigh before running on it and when he landed there he takes Santa Claws' hat and breaks it as dust flew before "Merry Christmas Ladybug!!!" The heroes wished "Thanks guys" Ladybug thanked before swiping her finger across her yo-yo "No more evil doing for you little akuma" Ladybug said before spinning the yo-yo "Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug said before she threw the yo-yo as the yo-yo caught the akuma causing her to bring it back into her hand "Gotcha!" Ladybug said before pressing on the middle button opening the yo-yo as a butterfly flew out "Bye bye little butterfly" Ladybug said before Pinkie gave her an unwrapped box "Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug callled out Then a big burst of light appeared which brought back a few stuff, Alya's family forgot about Spike's identity as the akumatized Santa, sleigh and reindeers returned back to normal causing the heroes to scream in fright before Twilight teleported them to the ground and when they were all down Twilight panted heavily "You alright Twilight?" Pinkie asked "Yes, I've never teleported vehicles that big like a sleigh so I need to catch my breath first" Twilight said "But before you do" Ladybug started Then the heroes went together and fistbumped "Pound it!" The heroes yelled in relief Meanwhile Hawk Moth was boasting angrily about his defeat "Ladybug, Cat Noir, Ponies, Spike, go ahead and enjoy your Christmas this time but we'll see who gets the best presents next Christmas" Hawk Moth boasted Then Hawk Moth's window closed A hour later Gabriel was talking to Adrien in front of the picture of his wife and Adrien's mom while also being sad "Adrien, you understand I can't have you disappearing like that, I couldn't bare the thought of losing you" Gabriel said angrily and sadly Then Adrien looks down before the doorbell rang as Nathalie talked with the person in front of the camera before stopping as she turned to Adrien "I think it's for you" Nathalie said Then the trio went towards the door as Nathalie opened it before they saw the colored humans, Spike in Fluttershy's arms and the other Classmates, parents and friends of Adrien along with Santa Claus "I informed everyone that Adrien was home, safe and sound, sir, they were all worried about their friend" Nathalie said Then Adrien turns to Gabriel knowing he wouldn't accept it but told him something Gabriel wouldn't forget "Oh please, father, it's Christmas" Adrien said "Of course, come on in" Gabriel said Then the ones in front of the door walked inside the room with big smiles on their faces as Nino gave Adrien a hug7 "Aww, brother!" Nino said awestruck "Merry Christmas, Adrien" Nathalie wished A while later in the dining hall everybody sat together and sang one last line "Merry Christmas to all!" Everybody in the dining hall said singingly Then Adrien turned one last glance to the giant picture on the wall of his mother, father and Adrien himself "Merry Christmas, mom" Adrien wished
