Part 8

"Marinette, do you know who that is?" asked Alya.

"Nope, no clue if he is famous. I've been abroad for the past two years, and I hardly look at any magazines unless they're about people I know," replied Marinette.

Adrien had heard that and felt relief as he wouldn't have to worry about her hounding him for autographs.

"Well, let me educate you, Adrien Agreste, son of Famous Fashion designer Gabriel Agreste, one of His top models in his company since he was eight years old," said Alya pulling up magazine front covers and articles about the Agreste fashion company.

"It's cool that he is already searching for a career that would fit him, but it is a little concerning that he started so young,"

Adrien was happy that someone was concerned about his well-being for once without having to be paid for it.

"I know,"

With that, Alya ended the conversation, and silence ensured for quite some time.

*scene changes to Ivan and Mylene in the locker room*

Ivan had cornered Mylene in the locker room and had started shouting lyrics at her.

"I made this for you," said Ivan lifting his phone and a sheet of paper as he played the music.

"Mylene had sensitive ears, so as soon as the music started, she put her fingers in her ears.

"MYLENE, BE SERENE!!!!"

Mylene couldn't handle it and ran off. Ivan looked after her, heartbroken. Crumpling the sheet in his hands, he smashed his phone on the ground and stepped on it. He sat down in a curled-up position and placed his hand on his forehead, a bit depressed.

*Hawk Moth's lair*

The small circle-like lens began to expand until it fully opened.

"Yes, this is what I've been waiting for. You know the way evil Akuma track down your prey, fly away and evolve him,"

The Akuma left the pair and flew over the roofs of Paris until it reached the school again. It dematerializes into the crumpled-up sheet in Ivan's hand. The moth-like symbol showed up on Ivan's face, and Hawkmoth spoke to him again.

"This is your second chance Stoneheart, and this time, you have extra help none will stop your crime from capturing the love of your life. Just remember I'll need something in return,"

Ivan's face had an evil smirk and they stood up. The purple-black smoke engulfed him and transformed him into Stoneheart once more. With him now changed by the Akuma, the stone statues around Paris came alive again and began to move. The stone army began to cause havoc now that they were awakened.

*in Class*

"Agreste, Adrien,"

"You say present,"

Adrien looked around awkwardly and jumped up with a bit of a surprised look on his face with his hand in the air.

"Present!"

The class all giggled a bit at this. The teacher smiled at his antics.

" Bourgeois, Chloe,"

"Present,"

"Bruel, Ivan,"

The door came crashing in on itself. Stoneheart had pliers down the door.

"PRESENT!!!"

The class was a stir by his appearance.

"MYLENE,"

The class scattered the classroom. Stoneheart headed straight for Mylene, who hadn't gotten the chance to escape. He grabbed her in his right hand.

"Let go of me, Ivan,"

"I'm not Ivan anymore. I'm Stoneheart,"

"Why are you doing this,"

"So that you and I can be together forever,"

Sabrina hadn't gotten away in panic. She had called her father, the Chief of police.

"Daddy, the monster is back ahhhahhhh,"

Sabrina was grabbed in Stoneheart's left hand. Stoneheart kicked open the wall and jumped to the street.

"Come on, let's follow them,"

"Ah no, you go ahead. I'm not following behind them, not with the risk of being crushed,"

"Girl, but you're going to miss Ladybug in action,"

"If you're out there filming, I'll watch in the comfort of my own home,"

"If you say so,"

Marinette went to the bathroom, and Tiki slipped out.

"Ivan has been akumatized again. We need to get out there to help Chat noir,"

"Right, just say the words Marinette,"

"Alright, Tiki Spots on,"

*ladybug Transformation sequence*

*with Adrien *

"My first day of school, I don't even make it past roll call,"

"A day off now, that's what I'm talking about,"

"Oh, non-no, no, we've got homework to do, Plagg claws out,"
