In Shadowmoth's lair, Gabriel is trying to sense negative emotions to creat super villains.  Using the Butterfly miraculous, he looks for whoever is feeling anger, sad, or anything negative.  He senses a baby crying.  "Perfect.  The pure feeling of despair can result into a ravenous temper tantrum."  Shadowmoth said.  He creates an akuma, and sends it to the baby.  The akuma finds the baby crying, and flies to it's prey.  When the akuma goes to the baby's bracelet, it gets de-evilized.  That is because the baby is wearing one of Ladybug's magical charms.  "Urg!!!  Again, really?  Let's try this again."  Shadowmoth said.  He tries to find another negative emotion from his brooch.  He sense Officer Rogers getting anger at people jaywalking.  "Ah, an officer of the law enraged by those who don't listen.  The hand of justice will soon be served."  Shadowmoth said.  He creates another akuma, and sends it out to Roger.  Roger is still feeling negativity, so the akuma gets excited.  However, it once again gets de-evilized because of the magical charm he is wearing.  "What?  He has one too?  No, there seriously cannot be anyone in Paris who doesn't have a magical charm."  Shadowmoth said.  He looks again, and finds Mr. Ramier worried about his pigeons.  Shadowmoth creates yet another akuma, and sends it to the man.  As expected, the akuma gets de-evilized because of the magical charms.  "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!  THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!!!!!"  Shadowmoth screamed.  He breathes fast and anger breathes, until he eventually calms down.  "[signs].  What's even the point in this.  Reverse morphoseis."  Shadowmoth said as he de-transforms.  "Master?"  Nooroo asked.  "Shut it, Nooroo.  Same for you Dussu."  Gabriel said in sadness and disappointment.  He leaves his lair.  In the study, Natalie is watching a news report.  Where there hasn't been a single villain in sight for the last week.  All thanks to the magical charms.  Gabriel comes in, and sits on the bed.  "I assume you failed to create another villain?"  Natalie asked.  "I don't need to be reminded, Natalie.  [deep breath].  But yes, I failed again.  Seriously, why did these charms have to exist.  Why do they have to interfere with my plans, and saving my wife.  I guess we were wrong in the end after all.  We will never find a way to break the magical charms."  Gabriel replied.  "I can see you are suffering from doubt and hopelessness.  But, they made one big mistake."  Natalie said.  "What do you mean by mistake?  And who is they anyway?"  Gabriel asked.  "The guardians gave the butterfly a full potential.  Look at this."  Natalie replied.  She shows Gabriel the page on the Butterfly miraculous in the grimoire.  On it, newly discovered writings were found.  "WHAT?  I don't remember seeing this before."  Gabriel said as he takes a closer look.  "Neither did I.  That is, until I found out this book serves more than just the miraculous.  [in flashback].  When I was working late one night, I was trying to use the potions we had to break the magical charms.  My sickness has the one thing holding me back, but I wasn't going to let that stop me.  Potion, after potion, after potion, I tried to break it, but I failed.  Eventually, I was working so hard, I pasted out on my desk.  But that lead to a major discovery.  When I woke up the next morning, I saw that I poured a pot of chemicals onto the grimoire book of the Butterfly miraculous.  I panicked.  So I tried to clean it, and gave the pages.  When I was cleaning, I discovered that the pages weren't ruined at all.  Instead, that pot of chemicals revealed some kind of sacred invisible ink.  [end flashback].  I used the info I have from the guardian's tablet to try to translate what this meant.  I didn't get all of it, but I was able to figure out the purpose of this ink.  It says that there is more to your power than you think, and that you can reach your full potential.  And by full potential, I mean create a powerful, stronger akuma.  One more powerful based on how you want it to be.  Meaning..."  Natalie replied.  "I can make an akuma that breaks magical charms."  Gabriel said.  "Exactly.  And the answer was right in front of us the entire time."  Natalie replied.  "Well, I hope the citizens of Paris enjoyed their akuma free vacation because the now Shadowmoth will rise his wings, and wreck havoc once again."  Gabriel said as he laughs, and runs to his lair(Now a little reminder.  They think this is the full potential of the Butterfly miraculous, but it is not.  As explained by Essence in Essence 2.0.  They are reaching their full potential, just not the actual thing.  If this still confuses you, I got this.  No need to worry).
At Mari's house, her Mom, Dad, and Grandpa are making galettes for King's Day(a real life holiday in France for those who want a little French history).  The galettes are in the oven, that is until the timer goes off.  "Now remember.  A gallete should be taken out nice and careful with not pieces missing.  That is how it is done."  Ronin said(grandpa).  "I know, I know Dad.  Nice and careful."  Tom replied.  Ronin opens the oven, and careful grabs the galette, he slowly takes it out and puts it on the table.  Tom does the same.  Nice and carefully.  "See, just like back then.  Simple as a piece of cake."  Ronin said.  "It is very sweet of you to come over, and make galletes for King's Day.  I remember that this was the first dish you too made together."  Sabine replied.  "Indeed.  Those were the good old days when I getting engulfed in the culinary world.  I not only loved making galettes, I love to get them.  Just like my sweet angel, Marinette."  Tom said.  "Yeah.  You ate almost all the galettes during your first King's Day.  It almost made your Mother crazy."  Ronin replied.  The family puts that aside, and bakes more galettes.  The smell consumes the entire house, and leads all the way up to Marinette's room.  Mari and the kwamis are sleeping peacefully.  That is, until the scent of galette goes up Tikki's nose.  She sniffs, and immediately wakes up.  The scent has her going insane.  "Marinette.  Marinette.  MARINETTE!!!!!!"  Tikki yelled as she tries to wake her up.  "AHHH.  Tikki?  What is wrong with you?  I am trying to sleep."  Marinette asked.  "I'll sorry Marinette, but I need to know.  I need to know what that delicious smell is."  Tikki replied.  "Oh....[sniffs]......that is just galettes.  It is for King's Day.  Basically you eat it, and if you find the little charm inside, you get to wear a crown.  It is nothing really."  Marinette said.  "NOTHING!!!!!!"  Tikki screamed.  Marinette screams, as does the other kwamis, who wake up.  "Jeez, Tikki.  What is the problem?"  Marinette asked.  "The problem is that we don't have this delicious pastry.  I need it inside my belly now."  Tikki demanded.  "Relax, Tikki.  It is just a desert.  If you are that desperate, I guess I can get you some."  Marinette replied.  "NO!!!!  You WILL get me some.  And it is NOT just a desert."  Tikki whined.  Marinette takes a deep breath, and goes downstairs.  "Morning, guys."  Marinette said as she opens the door.  "Ah, Marinette.  Glad to see you are up, dear.  We were just making galettes."  Sabine replied.  "I am aware.  I can smell them up my bedroom.  I was just wondering if I can have a piece to go please?"  Marinette asked.  "Marinette.  That is a silly question, of course you can have one."  Tom replied.  He goes to get her a piece.  "Actually, that is not the correct answer."  Ronin said.  "What are you talking about?"  Tom asked.  "Don't tell me you forgot?  We sell all the galettes to the people of Paris.  Once they are all gone, we enjoy one galette together as a family.  Having a piece before then is not how it's done."  Ronin replied.  "Oh yeah.  Tradition."  Tom said.  "Tradition is key, son.  Without it, what is even the point of celebrating."  Ronin replied.  "He does have a point, Tom.  Marinette, you can have a piece when we are done.  Until then, why don't you grab a croissant to eat."  Sabine said.  "Ok, Mom."  Marinette replied.  As grabs a croissant, and leaves.  "Sorry, Tikki.  But we have to wait.  On the bright side, we have a croissant to keep you company."  Marinette said.  Tikki takes a bite, and spits it out.  "I don't want that, Marinette.  I NEED these galettes."  Tikki yelled.  "Seriously, Tikki.  What is up with you.  I have never seen you this crazy for food before.  Normally you would just say your hunger, and....that's it."  Marinette said.  "I'm sorry, but it looks so good."  Tikki replied.  "We'll get some.  Don't worry.  We just need to wait."  Marinette said.
Back in the bakery, Marinette's family are selling galettes left and right.  They make sure everyone in line gets a galette, until there is only one left.  "And, there.  That is all the galettes sold."  Sabine said as she closes the door.  "Expect for one for the FAMILY!  Just like it was back then."  Ronin replied.  "We understand, Dad.  We understand."  Tom said.  "You know what I don't understand?  This colorful circle thingy with a sting."  Ronin replied.  "That is a magical charm, if I am right.  Ladybug gives it to those who get akumatized, so they won't have to worry about Shadowmoth anymore."  Tom said.  "Well it's too complicated.  Why cannot we just fight that villain together?  That is how it was back then."  Ronin replied.  "Because no one knows where he is at.  Besides, as long as we have these on us, we will be safe."  Sabine said as she pulls out her magical charm.  "As long as you have it, Dad, you will be ok.  I remember when I got mine.  I freaked out because I thought someone hurt Marinette, and I went crazy."  Tom replied.  Shown in flashback, Weredad causing mayhem in Paris.  "I remember when I got akumatized.  I got worried I was lost, so Shadowmoth gave me a way home."  Sabine said.  Shown in flashback, Qilin blowing cars away using her powers(I know I deleted her episode from here, but I have my reasons.  I will give Qilin her own episode, later in the future that is.  So, you'll only have this episode, and them acknowledging it to avoid plot problems).  "I cannot remember mine, and I don't care."  Ronin replied.  Their conversation is interrupted with honking coming from outside.  They look out the window, and see who it is.  It is Mari's grandma with a motorcycle.  "Oh, it's Gina."  Ronin said.  "She must be here for King's Day.  I'll go get Marinette, so she can finally have a piece of galette."  Tom replied.  In Mari's room, Tikki has gone fully psycho.  She is cuddled into a ball, rolling back and forth.  Grinding her teeth.  Taking deep breathes at a fast pace.  Focusing on nothing, but galettes.  "And then she yelled at me.  All for a desert."  Marinette said to the kwamis.  "Well, to her defense.  It does smell good."  Pollen replied.  "It does.  I had them all the time as a kid.  But, what bother me is the fact she is acting like this.  I mean look at her."  Marinette said an pointed at the deranged Tikki.  "Maybe giving her the galette will make her feel better."  Trixx said.  "I bet, but who knows when that will be."  Marinette replied.  She gets a knock on her door.  "Ah, someone's coming.  Hide guys.  Hide."  Marinette said to the kwamis.  She gets off her door, and her Dad enters.  "Sorry to interrupt you dear, but Grandma has arrived."  Tom said.  "Grandmas?  Isn't she supposed to be in Shanghai?"  Marinette asked.  "I think, but she must have came here to do King's Day.  Come one down, so you can say hello.  And eat galette."  Tom replied.  "Oh, perfect.  I'll be downstairs in a minute."  Marinette said.  Tom closes the door to her bedroom.  "Ok guys.  Listen up.  I'm going to get some galettes and bring them to you all.  Tikki, you stay up here, since I don't want you drooling all over the place."  Marinette said.  "Hold on.  Tikki should come with you despite her......mental state.  I mean, what if Shadowmoth attacks?"  Wayzz asked.  "We've haven't gotten an akumatized for a while.  I'm sure we'll be fine."  Marinette replied.  "Ok, you can count on us."  Wayzz said.  Marinette leaves, and the seconds she closes the door, the other kwamis get a little scared.  They look at Tikki, who is still rolled in a ball moving back and forth.  "So, who should go first?"  Longg asked.  "What do you mean, I ain't going over there.  Look at her."  Xuppu replied.  "Well, one of us has to go there, and you know........prevent the END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!"  Ziggy screamed.  "Well, I am not going to let her saliva get all over my hair.  I'll a high royalty, not a filthy pig."  Kaalki replied.  "Hey, that is just insulting.  Insulting to me."  Daizzi said.  The kwamis start to argue over what they should do.  They scream and shout at each other.  Everyone, expect Trixx.  "[deep breath].  Why did I have to be in this miracle box?"  Trixx asked.  She leaves the arguing kwamis, and slowly flies to Tikki.  She is still moving back and forth.  "Hey, Tikki.  It's me, Trixx.  You know.  The Fox kwami.  Power of illusion.  That's me.  I can see you.....have it again, and we are all......worried as we should be.  But there is a better way around it. So, just......stop the cravings, and let's talk about this."  Trixx said.  Tikki then stops moving.  Tikki whispers.  "I'm sorry, but what did you just say?"  Trixx asked.  "GALETTES!!!!!!!!"  Tikki screamed as she turns around, and tackles Trixx.
Downstairs, Mari and her family are outside to see her Grandma.  "Ahh, Marinette, my fairy.  I'm so happy to see you again."  Gina said as she hugs her granddaughter.  "Grandma. I'm happy as well to see you again, but weren't you suppose to be in Shanghai?" Marinette asked. "I am, but I couldn't dare to miss my sweet granddaughters birthday." Gina replied. "Birthday? Mom, her birthday is in five months." Tom said. "What? I swore I got the date right. Must have got it mixed up. Oh well. In any case, I got you something for......today I guess. A brand new motorcycle." Gina replied. Everyone is in utter shock at what she got her granddaughter. "Ok, first of all, it is King's Day, Mom. And second of all, ARE YOU CRAZY??" This is way too dangerous for Marinette to ride." Tom said. "Don't be ridiculous, Tom. Marinette is old enough to ride this. If you want her to safe, she is required to wear a helmet while riding. Therefore, she will be ok." Gina replied. "That is still not good enough, Mom. This is too irresponsible for a fourteen year old to use." Tom said. "Exactly son. Your Mother is too much of a bad influence on Marinette. What she needs is the proper discipline to be a responsible young girl." Ronin replied. "No, and I am not saying Mom is a terrible influence. She needs to know what is right for her age that's all." Tom said. "I do know what is right for her age. Freedom. Not being isolated inside on single place with a controlling parent." Gina replied. "I just want to keep her safe from anything. I still let her go out." Tom said. "With not the good teachings she needs." Ronin replied. "Now everyone, relax. What's best is not what you want for Marinette, but what she wants for herself. Marinette, what do you think about this?" Sabine asked. They all look at Marinette. "I..........I.......I think we can discuss this.......inside. With galettes. I mean, Grandma has traveled from Shanghai all the way to Paris. Maybe a treat can help me think. Plus it's King's Day. The time of year to spend with family." Marinette replied. "If that is the case, I'm in as well." Ronin said. "Me too." Tom and Gina replied. Inside, Marinette puts out plates, as her family gets the galettes ready. "Ok, Marinette. You have your galette. Now, are you going to tell us which one is right?" Gina asked. "I just said I.." Marinette replied. "Don't ask a stupid question, I am obviously the better parent here." Ronin said. "But..." Marinette replied. "Seriously, Dad. All you would do is whine about not doing things right, and following strict rules." Tom said. "I would, and it is the right thing to do." Ronin said. "Rules, rules, rules. Marinette doesn't need to follow any strict guidance of rules. She just needs to go out there, and embrace life to it's fullest." Gina replied. "If that is what she wants. Marinette doens't deserve to have her life under your control. It is her choice to live her life the way she wants." Sabine said. "No, no, NO!!!! That is not have it is done." Ronin yelled. This of course leads to an all out argument between the family. Marinette just sits there, and watches them fight. With not a single one acknowledging or listening to her. Marinette does take this chance to gets some pieces of galette for Tikki. She leaves her anger family, and goes upstairs. "Sorry for the wait, guys. Family is going a bit inSANE!!!!!!! How are you guys doing?" Marinette yelled in shock. Marinette watches as the other kwami's hold Tikki done like some kind of freaky exorcism. "Oh, Marinette. You have the gallete." Sass said. "Yeah I have a gallete. Why the heck are you holding Tikki down?" Marinette asked wanting to know what is going on. Tikki shakes, until she sees and smells the galette. "GALLETE!!!!!!!" Tikki screamed. She breaks free from her bondage, and dashes to the galette. Swiping it from Mari's hands, and devouring the pieces on the floor. "Oh my God. This is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!" Tikki yelled. "Ok, I think I now know why you were forcing her down. But, why is she acting like this?" Marinette asked. The kwamis loom at each other in concern, and then at Marinette. "[deep breath]. Ok, Marinette. I think the time has come to just come clean." Sass said. "I'm sorry......what are you talking about?" Marinette asked. "What if we told you there was a reason behind Tikki's munchies?" Roarr asked back. "Wait, there is a reason for this?" Marinette asked back. "Yes, but we haven't seen this in thousands of years. Remember guys?" Stomp asked. The kwamis shake. "Anyway, the truth is Tikki is more than just a kwami of creation, Marinette. In fact, you don't......know much about her really." Sass said. "Excuse me? I know Tikki very well. I think I know the most about her than anyone." Marinette replied. "Well then, if you did know Tikki well, then you should know that Tikki can be possessed with a craven so powerful, that........." Sass said. "That what?" Marinette asked. Sass stays silent. "I'll just say it. [deep breath]. THAT SHE CAN DESTROY THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!! There, I said it." Ziggy replied. "Destroy the entire world? But how?" Marinette asked. "By her hunger of course. It is very rare for her to find anything like this. A desert more addictive than Shadowmoth's obsession with us. In other words, Tikki will do anything, and I mean ANYTHING, to savor her desire. Even if she has too......use her full potential." Trixx replied. "You mean......the thing Essence was talking about?" Marinette asked. "Yes, expect it is ACTUALLY her full potential. Not just a basic upgrade that you have with the magical charms. You are aware that if a kwami uses their power, it can result in serious damage right?" Trixx asked back. "Yeah. I've seen Plagg and you do it before." Marinette replied. "Well, here is he thing. What I did that day with Gang of Secrets, was NOT my full potential. Like, my illusions are more real than you think they can be. In fact, at the Fox's full potential, a holder can create illusions that don't disappear when you touch them. In fact, they can last weeks if I wanted them too. They are more realistic than you think." Trixx said. "Same case for me. Normally, a holder can go back in time, with a limit of five minutes. But at my full potential, a holder de-transform after 100 tries, or if the timer runs out, after a full 24 hour period. Meaning I can go back in time if I wanted. Just only within a 24 hour period." Sass replied(It is only 24 hours, so their won't be any Ephermal complaints if you know what I mean). "My shells don't break easily at my full potential. In fact, they are almost indestructible." Wayzz said. "My venoms take days to wear off at my full potential." Pollen replied. "I can travel to other dimensions at my full potential." Kaalki said. "I can go back in time for as my times as I want." Fluff said. "The list goes on, Marinette. My point being, Tikki can reach her full potential if she wants. Meaning she can create ANYTHING she wants with no limitations.  And the consequences.  To be entirely honest with you, the consequences are not worth witnessing.  I mean if a kwami using their full potential without a holder can most likely destroy the entire world in one go. This is why she is so dangerous on days like this. And why we are shouldn't be in the wrong hands no matter what." Sass replied. "Woah. Never knew you guys can do that. Is that the case with every kwami in the world?" Marinette asked. "Indeed. That is how we were made." Sass replied. "Well, then we can just calm Tikki down, until her munchies are gone. That can work, right?" Marinette asked. "It can work, but how do you propose that?" Xuppu asked. "By making Tikki stay in one place, and one place only. Tikki, spots on." Marinette said as she transforms into Ladybug. "See, in one place, and one place only. No consequences whatsoever." Ladybug said. Soon, Ladybug's stomach starts to rumble. "What the? Why do I feel so hunger? [stomach rumbles more]. Ouch. This actually hurts from the inside." Ladybug said as she falls to the floor. Ladybug starts to shake, as she holds her stomach tight. "Uhhh......Ladybug. Are you ok?" Mullo asked. "Yeah.......I'm just a little.........HUNGER!!!!!!!!!" Ladybug shouted as she is possessed by Tikki. The kwamis scream, as Ladybug runs out of her bedroom, and into the city.
    Back downstairs, Mari's family is still arguing about the motorcycle. This feats of negativity gets Shadowmoth's attention.  "Perfect.  Nothing like a little argument between loved ones on a day about family.  The perfect sweets I need for Ladybug and Cat Noir's delicious demise.  Now with the newly achieved information, I just need to focus, and create my new akuma.  One that will allow me to break those magical charms."  Shadowmoth said.  He looks at the page, before he places it down, and focuses.  He grabs a butterfly, and uses all his energy to create the akuma.  Shadowmoth thinks on what he wants, and keeps his eye on the ball.  His hands start to shot dark lightening from the butterfly.  He focuses, and focuses, and focuses. Nothing in his way to stop him. When he is done, he releases his hand off the akuma.  It is flashing dark lighting.  "Hmm....So, this is my new akuma.  Or better yet a...[thinks].......megakuma.  Yes, megakuma. Aka the destroyer of all magical charms.  Now my beautiful creature, evilize them all with nothing holding you back."  Shadowmoth ordered as he sends his megakuma at them.  It flies to Mari's house, where her family is eating the galettes.  The megakuma flies into the charm in the pastry, but a pink shield holds it back.  But unlike the other times before, the magical charms doesn't stop the megakuma just like that.  In fact, the megakuma breaks the force of the magical charms.  It goes into the charm in the gallete, and a mask forms on all of Marr's families faces.  "A ha.  It worked.  It finally worked.  I finally broke those stupid charms."  Shadowmoth said.  Mari's parents look, and see their magical charms get destroyed.  "Wh.....What is going on?  What happened to our magical charms?"  Sabine asked.  "Nothing important really.  Dearest Family.  I am Shadowmoth.  You really thought some magical object can stop me?  No.  Just like Ladybug, I found a way to upgrade my powers too.  Now magical charms won't protect you from my akumas, or my power.  So, you all think you are the better role model for Marinette, but cannot decide.  I have just the method for the job here.  I return all your powers, so they can help you make a decision.  Befana, Bakerix, Weredad, and Qilin.  Use your powers to make Marinette the one for you.  But in return, you will give me the miraculous of Ladybug and Cat Noir."  Shadowmoth ordered.  Mar's family gets akumatized into their villain personas.  "If this is the case, I will do what it takes to save Marinette from this prison."  Befana said.  "Not if I discipline her first."  Bakerix replied as he runs to her bedroom.  Weredad backhands him, and goes to protect his daughter.  While Qilin and Befana try to push him out of the way.  They break inside, to find Marinette.  "Huh?  She isn't here."  Weredad said.  "Of course not.  We're not blind fur ball."  Qilin replied.  "Enough bickering you two.  Look, her window is open. She must have escaped to hide from us."  Befana pointed.  "Leaving without permission?  That is not how's its done.  This is why she needs discipline, not having permission to do whatever she wants." Bakerix said. "Oh, please. Marinette wouldn't want that. She would only do what she wants to do." Qilin replied. "Oh really? Well, let's make a proposition.  Whoever finds Marinette first, automatically is the better parent.  Simple as that."  Bakerix said.  "Ok. And whoever gets the miraculous, gets bonus points."  Weredad replied.  "Sure, why not.  Any questions?"  Bakerix asked.  "Yes.  What are we waiting for?"  Befana asked back.  Dearest Family leaves their home to find Marinette.
In the city, Ladybug, possessed by Tikki, is stealing galettes whenever she can.  She runs on the roofs of houses, and uses her yo-yo to get galettes.  When she has enough, she stops, and starts to devour each one.  "This is so good.  Very good.  MIRACULOUS GOOD!!!!!!!"  Ladybug yelled.  "You know what else is good?  Discipline."  Bakerix replied.  He punches Ladybug against a wall with his buff body he got from his pot of juice or something.  "Now, be a good child and give me your miraculous."  Bakerix ordered.  Ladybug ignores him, and just keeps eating galettes.  "Not answering to your elders?  That is not how it's done.  Then again, she won't care if I carefully snag her earrings."  Bakerix said.  he approves Ladybug, who doesn't even try to focus on the villain.  Bakerix is about to get her earrings, but then, Cat Noir arrives to kick Bakerix off of the roof.  "Sorry for the delay, My Lady.  [sniffs].  Mmm.  That smells good."  Cat Noir said.  He goes to get a piece for himself, but Ladybug almost literally bites him.  Cat Noir falls to the ground of the roof.  "Hey, I just wanted a piece.  But more importantly, why did you try to bite me?"  Cat Noir asked.  Ladybug growls at him, but then shakes a bit.  "Oh my God, that was crazy."  Ladybug said.  "I'm sorry, what?"  Cat Noir asked.  "Cat Noir, listen to me.  My kwami is going nuts for galettes.  She even possessed me to get more."  Ladybug replied.  "She did what now?"  Cat Noir asked.  "You heard me.  Now I have this, and more villains to take care of.  I am going to need you to cover me, while I try to deal with this."  Ladybug replied.  "Ok."  Cat Noir said.  Bakerix jumps back onto the roof, and punches at Cat Noir.  He blocks it with his staff, as Bakerix continues to punch more.  "This is your chance to run.  Help your kwami, before she possesses you again."  Cat Noir said.  "Do you think you can do this on your own?"  Ladybug asked.  "Come on, My Lady.  I'm your funny, charming, purfect partner.  Of course I got this."  Cat Noir replied.  Ladybug smiles, takes some galletes and leaves Cat Noir.  She goes into an alleyway, and immediately de-transforms. "Ok, Tikki. These are the last galettes you are eating, and we have to go save my family. Apart from this, I don't understand how this is possible. I gave them magical charms. How did Shadowmoth find a way around it?" Marinette asked. Tikki finishes eating the galettes. "Great, your done. Now I have transform to go help Cat Noir." Marinette said. "Your right, Marinette. I need to go. GO GET MORE!!!!!!!!" Tikki yelled before laughing like a maniac, and leaving. "Tikki!! Tikki, come back." Marinette said. She runs out of the alleyway to find Tikki. Cat Noir is fighting Bakerix, blocking his attacks, and hitting his buffed body. "That all you got you puffed pastry?" Cat Noir asked. "You won't be making any jokes when I have your miraculous." Bakerix replied. Cat Nori dodges another one of his punches, and he kicks Bakerix in the face. Cat Noir goes to charge, but Weredad punches him against a wall. Cat falls to the ground, but acts fast where Weredad goes to pumble him again. He moves out of the way, as Cat Noir fights against two villains. Cat Noir dodges all their attacks, and winds up between the down. The two villains for to punch Cat Noir, but he jumps over their fist and end up punching each other in the face. While Cat Noir takes care of these two, Marinette runs to find Tikki. People are running away, screaming about a red creature stealing and eating galettes. Marinette is close thanks to the screams, and the empty boxes of galette boxes on the ground. During this, Befana has been recruiting angles to help find Marinette. Qilin is using her wind powers to prevent Marinette from hiding anywhere. He destroys cars, buildings, and anyone standing in her way.  As they look, Marinette finally finds Tikki.  She is eating ever last crumb inside of a galette box.  "TIKKI!!!!!!  This has gone way too far now.  First you go crazy, then you possess me, then you don't care if anyone sees you."  Marinette shouted.  "Mmm...Sorry Marinette.  These galettes are so good.  I cannot stop eating them."  Tikki replied.  "Tikki, this is serious.  My family got akumatized, and now I am worried about them, Cat Noir, and you.  You need to stop, and help me."  Marinette begged.  Tikki eats the last piece of galette.  The last piece in the whole city.  "What?  No.  No, no, no, no, no, no.  This can't be it.  There has to be more.  There has to be more galettes."  Tikki panicked.  "There aren't anymore, Tikki.  You ate them all.  There is no way you are going to get more galettes."  Marinette replied.  "[thinks].  No, Marinette.  There is one finally way I can get a galette."  Tikki said.  She floats into the air, and does the unthinkable.  She starts to use her powers, at her full potential.  Pink cosmic energy surrounds her, and that turns into a tornado of magic.  "NO!!!!!!  Tikki, please don't do what I think your doing."  Marinette said.  Tikki doesn't listen to her, and uses the power of creation to launch a beam straight into the air.  The beam then starts to create what Tikki wants.  A galactic galette.  The sky goes form blue to a dark purple and pink.  Everyone in Paris, including the villains and Cat Noir, watch as the galette forms slowly.  While it forms, pink lightening strikes start to rain down onto Paris.  People start running away, avoiding lighting strikes destroying the city.  And every time the galette gets closer to being complete, the lighting strikes get even more destructive. Soon, meteors start raining down from the day. Crashing into Paris. Putting hundreds of civilians in danger.  "Oh my God.  Tikki, please.  You have to stop, and control your hunger."  Marinette begged.  "I DON'T CARE, MARINETTE!!!!!  THIS GALETTE IS GOING TO MAKE ME THE HAPPIEST KWAMI WHO EVER LIVED!!!!!!!!!"  Tikki yelled.  Chaos continues to erupt throughout Paris, as Tikki laughs like a maniac.  "Tikki.  You are my kwami.  My closet friend.  The one I can tell anything too.  You are someone I care more than anything in this world.  You are sweet, generous, and the one who wants the best for me, and for others.  And this is how you act.  An insane psychopath who will destroy the world to get a galette.  This is not the Tikki I love.  You are nothing like this Tikki.  I know it, and you know it."  Marinette said.  Tikki hears all of this, and stops creating.  "Please, please stop this, so you can prevent anyone from getting hurt or killed.  Anyone, even me."  Marinette said.  Tikki then looks at her owner, who is begging for her to stop.  Tikki then looks at her galactic galette, and smoke coming from the city.  She releases that this is not healthy for her.  Tikki decides that Marinette is right.  She uses her powers to reverse her creation.  Reducing it to nothing but thin air.  The sky returns to blue, and Tikki stops using her powers.  She falls to the ground.  "TIKKI!!!!"  Marinette yelled as she runs to her.  "Tikki, are you alright?"  Marinette asked.  "[coughs a bit].  I'm ok, Marinette.  Thank you, for helping me."  Tikki replied.  "So, that is what a kwami is like at their full potential?  Sass was right.  It wasn't worth witnessing."  Marinette said.  "Of course.  [clears her throat].  Ok, I'm better now, Marinette.  Let's go save your family."  Tikki replied.
    Cat Noir is now getting his but kicked not just by Bakerix and Weredad, but by Befana and Qilin. They use all their powers to beat the crap out of Cat Noir, until one final slam has him onto the ground. "That should teach him for not following the strict rules." Bakerix said. "Right. I know we were arguing about Marinette, but this super villain thing really brought us together." Weredad replied. "I'm surprised that you're not wrong." Befana said. "As am I." Qilin replied. "I don't care if you are happy or not. Seize his miraculous before it is too late." Shadowmoth ordered. Weredad holds Cat Noir in place, but a yo-yo hits him in the face. Ladybug is back in action. She saves Cat Noir by using her yo-yo to wrap him up, and bring him to the rooftop where she is standing. "Ladybug. Finally, you decided to show up to fight. We we're getting tired of this kitty cat. As well as bonding as a family" Qilin said. "Sorry, but Shadowmoth only manipulates, not brings people together. Cat Noir and I are going to save you, and stop him again." Ladybug replied. "Oh, we'll see about that." Qilin said. She sends a wind attack to the duo, but Ladybug, with Cat Noir in her hands, dodges the air strike. It destroys parts of the roof. Ladybug runs with Cat Noir, as the villains chase them. Dearest Family continues to run. Passing Ladybug hiding behind a chimney with Cat Noir. "Are you ok, kitty?" Ladybug asked. "[coughs]. I think they broke something in me. But, I've been through worse. Like a little villain going into my ear, and controlling me." Cat Noir replied. "Ha. That's worse than broken bones to you?" Ladybug asked. "Well at least my kwami doesn't go crazy over a desert." Cat Noir replied. "Ok, that's crossing the line a bit. She literally almost killed us." Ladybug said. "I think it's best if we just stop with fighting. Summon your lucky charm, so we can stop them all?" Cat Noir replied. "Agreed. Lucky charm." Ladybug said as she uses her powers. The lucky charm forms a crown. Ladybug looks around to see what the charm means. The only clue she gets is a box of galette. "A galette box........That's it. It's at home." Ladybug shouted. "Home?" Cat Noir asked. "Oh.......there home. Yep, the akuma is a their home. You know, where they live, sleep, eat, etc." Ladybug replied. "Right. [gets up]. I think I should be alright. Let's hurry before they find out." Cat Noir said. Ladybug and Cat Noir leave, not knowing the villains hearing them from close by. Ladybug and Cat Noir run into the living room of Mari's home. "Cat Noir. Block the door in case anyone comes in." Ladybug said. "Got it." Cat Noir replied. He blocks the door with couches, and other furniture, just in time before Dearest Family arrived. They bang on the door, trying to get in. "There here. You better find that akuma fast." Cat Noir said. Ladybug looks all over the place, until she sees the charm in the galette turned black. "Bingo." Ladybug said. She grabs it, and crushes it on the ground. The megakuma flies out, and Ladybug holds it in her hand. She walks to Cat Noir. "What the? That's not a normal akuma." Cat Noir said. "Your right. It is some kind of....new akuma." Ladybug replied. "Perhaps this is how Shadowmoth broke my magical charms. Looks like there are more to his powers as well." Cat Noir said. "Yes, but that doesn't mean he will defeat us." Ladybug replied. She let's go of the megakuma. Ladybug opens her yo-yo, spins it around, captures the megakuma, frees it from evil, and says a nice goodbye as it flies away. "My Queen." Cat Noir wearing a crown. "[giggles]. My King." Ladybug replied as she puts another crown on. "Pound it." Ladybug and Cat Noir said celebrating their victory. "Miraculous Ladybug." Ladybug said as she uses her powers. The lucky charm fixes all the damage in Paris. It also returns Mari's family into the living room. Ladybug then opens her yo-yo again, and creates four magical charms. "Uhh....what happened?" Sabine asked. "Shadowmoth akumatized you, after he destroyed your magical charms. But don't worry, Cat Noir and I saved you. I know he found a way to break them, but here are some new magical charms to keep you safe." Ladybug replied. "Thank you, Ladybug. At least we will be safe from any danger." Sabine said. Ladybug nods her head.
    Inside of Mari's bedroom, Tikki is floating in front of the other kwamis and Marinette. "Listen. I'm sorry for my galette freak out earlier today. If it weren't for my addiction, I would have destroyed countless lives. I did reckless things only to get what I want. A pastry. I'm really sorry, Marinette." Tikki said. "Well, promise me you will get a hold of your addiction. PLEASE!!! I never want to be possessed by you again." Marinette replied. "Don't worry. The next time I find a desert that excites me, I will keep calm, take deep breathes, and not use my powers to create a giant desert." Tikki said. "Thank you. And speaking of deserts, look what I got." Marinette replied. She pulls out a piece of galette. The kwamis gets very excited to have some. "Want any Tikki?"  Marinette asked.  "No thanks.  They all deserve to try it.  Besides, I had more than enough for the day."  Tikki replied.  The kwamis get a piece of galette.  Eating the desert, and embracing the flavor of it.  "I'm glad you are back to normal Tikki.  But, I want to ask you something.  What is Nooroo and Dussu's full potential?"  Marinette asked.  "Are you asking because Shadowmoth found a way to break the magical charms?"  Tikki asked back.  Marinette nods her head.  "[deep breath].  The Butterfly and Peacock miraculous are more powerful at their full potential just like the rest of us.  Basically unstoppable, and impossible to avoid.  Once at their full potential, they can akumatized or amokizied with no control over oneself.  They will be under the full control of the holder of that miraculous.  They are like a lifeless puppet.  Shadowmoth's villains at least have some control over themselves, but they won't if Shadowmoth were at his full potential.  Worse of all, you cannot resist or break free from it.  No one, and I mean no one has ever broken free from a full potential akuma.  Not even a guardian could do it."  Tikki replied.  "Wait?  So, Shadowmoth can be........unstoppable?"  Marinette asked in a worried tone.  "Technically yes, but what are the chances he is ever going to find out.  I mean, we cannot find out how to achieve unlimited creation.  If anything we should be ok."  Tikki replied.  Marinette smiles, and hugs Tikki.  On her computer, a news report relays the events of today.  In one frame, Cat Noir is fighting against Weredad and Bakerix.  As Marinette looks at him, Cat Noir looks at the camera.  And then, a flash of Cat Blanc appears.  Marinette gets frightened, and falls to the ground.  "Marinette?  What happened?  Are you ok?"  Tikki asked.  "Ahh......uh, yeah.  Just a saw something pale."  Marinette replied.  "[Tikki looks at the computer]. It is just a shot of Cat Noir, Marinette. There is nothing pale there." Tikki said. "Not him.....something else. It doesn't matter anyway." Marinette replied. The kwamis continue to eat the galette, as Tikki looks at Marinette.  Who is lying on the ground in fear.
