Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir

Marinette concocts a plan intended to outsmart their foe, but the scheme inadvertently gives Shadow Moth the chance to akumatise a pair of villains. Her well‑meaning plot backfires, allowing the villainous mastermind to seize control of two unsuspecting criminals and turn them into his corrupted agents. The resulting duo, now empowered by Shadow Moth, pose a heightened danger. Confronted with this amplified threat, Ladybug and Cat Noir quickly realise they cannot defeat the evil pair on their own. They must enlist help from allies and rely on outside assistance if they hope to neutralise the villains and restore peace. Time is of the essence as the duo’s power continues to grow.

In this imagined scenario, Shadow Moth succeeds in fashioning a truly terrifying super‑villain, yet Marinette and Adrien find themselves unable to change into their heroic alter egos, Ladybug and Cat Noir. The episode would centre on the consequences of the duo’s loss of powers while the new antagonist threatens the city, forcing the characters to confront the crisis without their usual abilities. The narrative would explore how the heroes cope with this sudden handicap and what strategies they might employ to counteract Shadow Moth’s creation in the absence of their familiar transformations. Consequently, they would need to depend on their civilian talents and any friends still prepared to lend a hand.

Marinette is entrusted with Alex’s watch, looking after it carefully, yet it somehow ends up broken. When the malevolent Akuma intervenes, he ‘evilises’ Alex, transforming him into the entity known as Timebreaker. In this altered state, Alex acquires the power to freeze everyone and everything around him, effectively stopping time at his will. He immediately puts this ability to use, aiming to retrieve the shattered watch for Marinette before anyone notices the disruption. The episode centres on his frantic attempts to reclaim the timepiece while coping with the sudden, all‑encompassing control over time that the curse grants him. He feels the weight of this absolute control as the clock ticks.
