What if Silencer caught on to Ladybug's trick before he said the words she wanted him to say?

Silence Please
Chapter 1: Sound System Failure

As Chat Noir and Ladybug raced for the studio door, Silencer dashed in front of them.

Silencer had expected to catch Chat Noir by surprise, having called out to Chat in Ladybug's voice. He had said Silencer was defeated and everything was safe, and to meet Ladybug at the studio door.

Now it was clear that they knew it wasn't her all along. Oh well, he still had the advantage since Ladybug was silenced.

"You thought you defeated us, Silencer?" asked Chat Noir. "Ladybug has her Lucky Charm!"

Ladybug pointed a lamp (colored red with black spots) at Silencer as if it were a weapon.

"Impossible! I took your voice," said Silencer, using his right hand with Ladybug's voice (he had no reason to change it since he had called out to Chat). "How could you have invoked a..."

Ladybug crouched with a look of triumph in her eyes. She dropped the lamp and prepared to throw her yo-yo into the air.

Silencer caught on. He raised his left hand to continue speaking.

In the voice of XY, Silencer finished his question: "...Lucky Charm? Never mind, I see what you tried to do just now."

Ladybug's face fell. Both heroes seemed flummoxed by the failure of their plan.

Silencer charged Chat Noir, saying "Shh!"

Chat Noir dodged Silencer's outstretched hand and shoved him back with his staff. The two began melee combat.

Ladybug gave a wave to Chat, apparently to encourage him to keep fighting while she ran for the nearest window.

"M'Lady?" said Chat in surprise. "Don't leave me!"

"Give up, Chat Noir," said Silencer with the voice of André Bourgeois. "I'm going to take your voice too. You'll both have to hand over your Miraculous or you'll be mute for the rest of your lives. Then I'm going to make Bob Roth admit on the air that he stole our costume and music ideas."

"Excellent plan, Silencer," sent Hawk Moth over the mental link.

Ladybug had a back-up plan. She swung down with her yo-yo, and just as she hoped she found Rose, Juleka, and Ivan still in front of the studio building. They were running around being chased by Ivan in his Kitty Section costume, including a cat-like mask with a unicorn horn.

The building guards continued to stand their ground, not believing it was a real akuma. Still, the distraction had served Luka and Marinette well, allowing them to sneak into the building. The Kitty Section crew were continuing in order to cover the exit of the two after they finished their mission of exposing XY's plagiarism.

Kitty Section had brought all the costumes, instruments, and the set from their video in a truck driven by Luka. The hope was that they would be allowed to perform once Bob Roth and XY admitted they were the source of the new look and music.

They stopped when they saw Ladybug.

"Ladybug, please don't fight me. I'm not a real akuma, see?" said Ivan, pulling down his mask.

Ladybug held up a hand, and showed the cell phone on her yo-yo. She pointed to Juleka and sent her a a text.

"Luka turned 2 akuma, stole my voice," Ladybug texted. "Need ur help."

"I'll help, Ladybug" said Juleka in her low, mumbling voice.
