The sun shine over Paris, in the midst of a new Hero's Day, but as was customary in the city. It was very rare that there was a quiet day in the city of love, now known as the city of the Akumas.

The Eiffel Tower square was fenced by emerald spines, police cordoned off the place to prevent civilians from getting too close, and Nadja Chamack presented the news, albeit without the usual enthusiasm.

-Here, in live where a group of students and two teachers have been captured by esmerald snakes, but for some reason, an akuma hasn't been spotted as such, on the other hand... -the reporter posed her gaze on a girl with jet hair and picked up in a pair of unmistakable ponytails -, as far as you can see, Marinette Dupain-Cheng hasn't taken her eyes off that strange and huge flower bud.

Indeed, the young designer watched melancholy at that plum blossom bud, ignoring the voices of her companions, who kept fighting those huge snakes that more tightened their grip on their bodies.

-Please stop this Marinette! -Alya, who was at the ringleader, while Lila was away, begged, with two snakes squeezing her every time she tried to say something – you don't have to do this! -she retorted the brunette more, but Marinette didn't look away from the flower, to which the blogger already shouted exasperated - please listen to me!! –the bluenette barely turned to see her, then made a few signs, and two emerald snakes descended with Gabriel Agreste and Nathalie Sancour as their prisoners.

-What's Adrien's old man doing here? -Nino wondered, but like Alya, he received no response from the girl.

-This ridiculous! Totally ridiculous! This snake is wrinkling my clothes, not to mention how cold it is, Dupain-Cheng! You better not go after Adrinkis! -Chloe claimed, noting that the model was the only one missing from the group.

Soon, Chat Noir arrived, still confused and shocked with what was going on, and addressed the young designer, aiming at her with her cane.

-Release them! -He said -FREE TO MARINETTE!" -the hero jumped towards the girl, but to everyone's strangeness, none of the esmerald snakes reacted, and they were even more surprised to see Chat stop the blow before he touched Marinette -You don't have to do this, we can find a solution -the black cat said.

-She doesn't listen...!- Alya replied almost immediately, but bluenette 's words silenced her by surprise.

-I have nothing against you, Chat Noir, unlike them, you've always been noble heart, but unfortunately... -Marinette made an gesture with her hand, and two snakes came off the ground, imprisoning the hero-, don't hurt him, I just want you to watch, and don't worry Chat Noir, I have no intention of taking your miraculous, yet,-the girl stewardess walked towards the group of students , while the snakes accommodated a imprisoned Chat Noir near the plum flower bud, and covered his mouth so that he would not invoke his power-, once the trial against these bad people ends, you will be free, I give you my word.

-Do you talk to him? -Alya was offended- Can you tell why you haven't told us anything all this time?

-You never listen to those who speak with the truth, Why do you believe with the right to be heard then? -she inquired dry, and Alya was pale.

-Marinette! -Luka's voice was heard from the crowd, and the young woman watched the musician accompanied by her mother and Kagami, as well as Jagged, Penny, Clara Nightingale and many other acquaintances appeared in the crowd – please, let them go!

-You're not being yourself -Kagami said, looking at the group -they've obviously let you down, but you're not the kind of person who holds a grudge.

-Indeed, Marinette is not able to hold a grudge, she is a pure and incorruptible soul, so I do this, to protect her -the girl said, and in her words, Luka opened his eyes in horror.
