^This is what Mari's powers look like^

I stared at the black butterfly with wide eyes. I closed my eyes and saw something.

Buildings were destroyed. Fire everywhere. I saw the food court in flames. But most of the students safe. I saw Alya, Nino and Adrien by my side as we tried to battle the rock monster in front of us. He kept wanting to take me somewhere. Wonder why he wanted that...

I blinked a couple times and was brought back to reality. I started dragging Alya with me.

"What are you doing, Mari! We need to get to safety?" She asked.

"I'll explain on the way. Just get Adrien and Nino and meet me at the food court." She nodded and I ran to the food court.

I saw the bug rock monster terrorizing the school. He had started a small fire. I put out most of them.

"Everyone, get to safety. If you can, help the injured!" I told them before running toward the monster. A few minutes later, Alya, Nino, and Adrien came.

"What are you doing?!?" Nino asked.

"We have to find his Akuma and send him back to Hawkmoth. Just like Lele told us. We're the ONLY ones who can do this." I said. I ran faster. They came running with me. They took out their wands. I put a forcefield around the school. I saw some of the teachers come out to help some of the injured students.

"Arrêtez!" I heard Alya call. The rock monster stopped moving. I high fives Alya and walked toward it.

"Who are you and what do you want?" I asked. It smirked and spoke in a raspy voice.

"I am StoneHeart. I want you to come with me. I'll take you to where you belong." He said. Where I belong? I belong here!

"No can do, Mr.StoneHeart." I said. I started looking for his Akuma. Lele told me, if you find the Akuma, break it, and purify it, the monster is useless and goes back to Hawkmoth.

"Did you find it?" Nino whispered. I shook my head. I started looking at his right fist. He never opens it.

"Alya, unpause him." I said, turning to face her. She looked shocked and confused.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?" she yelled. I smiled.

"Don't worry, I have a plan." I said. She unpause do him and he walked toward me. "Dupliquer!" I called as a duplicate of my self came up beside me. We nodded and went stepped forward.

"Alya, Nino, and Adrien, keep the forcefield up." My twin said. "Come and get me, you little monster!" She called running toward him. He caught her in his left hand. I soon ran to him. He was shocked but dropped what was in his hand.

"Adrien! Break it!" I said pointing to the paper on the ground. He ran to it and broke it.

"No!" StoneHeart called out stretching out the 'o'. He fell to the ground releasing me and my twin. I ran to the black butter fly trying to get away. I caught it in my hand.

"Pas plus mal pour vous faire peu Akuma!" I called. A white light glowed through my finger tips . I let the butterfly go. The, now purified, butterfly flew away. Everything went back to normal and my twin disappeared from thin air. StoneHeart got up.

"Hawkmoth is not done with you, coccinelle!" He said before running toward the forest. We shrugged it off and went to each other. We hugged and laughed that our first fight against Hawkmoth was a success. We let the forcefield down and everyone cheered. Surprisingly, Chloè came up and hugged me. But she quickly let go, trying not to show any emotion.

Everyone went back to their rooms to celebrate. The teachers had ice cream ready on their desk tables. Adrien and Nino came into our rooms and we celebrated with them.

"Great job, guys. Especially you, ma petite coccinelle." Adrien said leaning his head on my shoulder. I laughed.

"Thanks minou. That was awesome thinking, Alya! And great work on keeping the forcefield up, Nino!" I said. We laughed and watched a movie together. I was sitting on Adrien's lap while Alya was sitting on Nino's lap.

Little did we know, that Hawkmoth was planning on another monster. This one stronger than StoneHeart.
