Liam Rejeter, Kayla Hernandez, Daniel Cho-Lin, and Alix Kubdel were recording songs for their next album. They were listening back to Liam's vocal takes.

"You say I'm yours, you possess me, you own me forever and ever and ever..." The recording played the last 'ever' out, Liam's voice going higher in pitch. Luka stopped the playback.

"Anyone else think I sound terrible?" Liam asked.

"No," Kayla answered. "You were pretty good."

"Pretty good isn't gonna be enough. Have we got time to do another take?"

"Well, the school doesn't open until eight-forty five so you still have twenty minutes," Luka gave the answer. Liam walked out to record again. "Just be careful not to hurt your voice!" Luka called out to Liam. Liam walked into the studio, put on the headphones that were resting on the mic stand, and moved closer to the microphone. Luka held down a button on the mixing desk in front of him. "Wait... You guys have graduated, haven't you?" Liam gave a thumbs up. "Here we go." Luka pressed the record button and the song played again.

"You say I'm yours, you possess me, you own me forever and ever and eveeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRR." Luka stopped the recording on the computer. "Did we get it?"

Alix looked at the computer screen. "It's exactly the same as the last one..."

"I know that!" Luka responded obnoxiously. "I think he's trying to make a choir effect." At that moment, Luka received a phone call from Juleka, so he pressed the button on the console. "Liam, I got to step out for a sec." Luka walked out and accepted the call.

Liam walked back into the control room. "What was that?" Daniel asked.

"What?" Liam asked.

"That was the exact same way you sang it before. Are you trying to do something in particular?"

"Yeah, choir effects."

"You have heard of something called duplicating tracks, right?"

"Yes. You ever heard of something called not cheating? Hope you've had some lemon tea cos you're up next." Dan tried to protest but Liam was having none of it. "And ix-nay on doing it once and then adding a choir effect in post. You're gonna go in there and do it a hundred and twenty-seven times if you have to!"

Dan just stared in frustration, then had a competitive look on his face. "Alright, Kubrick! I'll show you how it's really done!" Luka walked back into the room.

"If you two are going to fight, save it for XY," He said, breaking the tension. Luka showed the group a video. "XY's covered one of your songs and passed it off as his own."

In the video, XY was performing at the TVi studio. The song he was playing was the same song that Experiments performed at the music festival. At the end of the video, Alec Cataldi was on the TV. "That was XY with his new single. Here in the studio with me, is XY's new manager, and Jagged Stone's former manager, Bob Roth. Bob, what caused you to take XY under your wing?"

"Well, say what you will about him," Bob gave his bogus answer. "He has a unique sound."

"Yeah, and I'm Cat Noir!" Liam retorted.

"I know it must have been hard, Jagged Stone firing you," Alec continued his questions.

"It was hard," Bob replied. "It still hurts. I remember Jagged when we first met and... He was introduced to me by Bulky Steel, god rest his soul-"

"That slimy turd never cared about Bulky's death!" Luka said. "I bet my dad's as angry as us."

"-he always believed that under my mentor-ship that Jagged could accomplish great things."

"OH, he's full of more crap than a used diaper!"

"Sadly, Jagged fired me because I said he should have taken a break from music to fix his relationship with his children."

"MOTHERFU-"


Meanwhile, in Marinette's bedroom, Marinette had Alya, Rose, Juleka, and Mylene in her room. Marinette was standing in the usual position, while the girls were struggling to stay awake. Alya was curled up on the sofa, Juleka was nodding off, Mylene wasn't awake but also wasn't asleep, and Rose was completely asleep. "Girls, we have a major problem!"

"Is this another problem with Adrien?" Alya asked. "We've got school soon! It can wait!"

"This is serious, girls!" Tikki helped her friend. "A Miraculous has been stolen!" That got the girls to wake up instantly.

"What?! How?!"

"Someone broke into their owner's home and knocked him unconscious!" Marinette replied. "At his age, a blow to the head could actually kill him!" The girls gasped again. "Please, girls! Can you think of anyone who would want a Miraculous?"

"Everyone wants to be Ladybug," Juleka replied.

"What about Chloé?" Mylene suggested. "She loved Ladybug but hated Marinette. And she's not against using violence!"

"How would you know?" Rose asked.

"Did you not see her attack Marinette, Rose?" Alya butted in.

"That's not all..." Mylene added. "I asked Liam's friends..." Mylene snapped her fingers continuously. "Michael and Sami if they knew why Liam attacked Chloé. She didn't just shut down their club, she knocked down the building they used!"

"And..." Alya asked.

Mylene turned her head to Alya. "Whilst they were still inside the building!"

Another jolt of energy went through the girls. "WHAT?!" All of them shouted.

"Liam never mentioned it!" Marinette exclaimed.

"Sabrina knew. She was there when it happened. She said it was true but it seems that Liam couldn't remember it."

"Okay..." Tikki said. "We'll talk to Liam later. Right now, we need to find Chloé."


At the TVi studio, Bob Roth was still doing his interview. "I never forced Jagged to walk out on his family twice. I also can't understand why he fired me then did what I told him to do anyway." At that moment, the doors burst open and in charged Liam, Kayla, Dan, Alix, Luka, and Jagged Stone.

"You told me to exploit my kids' talents so you could line your pockets even more!" Jagged Stone interrupted. "And you!" Jagged pointed at XY. "You stole that song from Experiments! You didn't even try to hide it!"

"Think of it as an homage!" XY said. "Scotty, I was gonna credit yous when the album came out! Promise!"

"That song is not appearing on your album!" Liam said. "In fact, after listening to it on the way here, your album is canceled until you start writing your own songs. Clara Nightingale is owed a big royalty check from you!"

XY's jaw dropped. "Ah. Well..." XY darted through another set of doors.

"Do you want us to chase after him?" Alix asked.

"Forget about him, Alix," Jagged answered. "The police outside will take care of him. Now, Bob Sloth, are you gonna admit the truth to people or do we have to play the recording?"

"Recording?"

"I'm not as dumb as you think I am, Rob Sloth."

"No, but you're dumber than you look!"

"Play it!" Jagged shouted. Bob then saw Luka at the mixing desk, attaching something. At that moment...

"Jagged, you may want to hear what I'm about to say," Bob said on the recording. "It's not even been a day since you revealed your kids on TV, and people noticed they were members of Kitty Section. Kitty Section's performance at the Music Festival has been going viral. I've had a huge offer from Sonicwave. This is the guy who's been dealing with Bulky Steel's posthumous albums."

"I could really use his advice right now," Jagged's voice said.

"Anyway, he says he's willing to produce an album for Kitty Section and we'd automatically get fifty percent of any money made. It's a lot of money for you, Jagged and I think you should think about it. On top of that, Scott Donoko is performing in two bands at once and he's under contract that all songs he writes belong to Bob Roth Records. So the way I see it, Experiments are in a lot of debt to us..."

"Are you asking me... to reconnect with my kids... just so you can sign their band and get more money? And then squeeze every euro out of Scotty's new band?"

"Penny?"

"What is wrong with you?!" Penny's voice replied. "That would turn Luka and Juleka against him for good. And as for Scott, he may be writing the songs for Experiments but the ones he writes are credited to Experiments as a whole. You have no legal right to them!"

"Pull over," Jagged's voice ordered. "Get out."

"What?" Bob's voice protested.

"You're fired!"

"Fired?! What are you talking about?"

"Get out of this limo, you treacherous vulture!"

"Jagged, you're still affected by that incident-"

"OUT! Or I'll set Fang on you!"

"You're making a big mistake, Jagged! You'll regret it."

"GET OUT OF THIS LIMO RIGHT NOW!"

"Don't you ever talk about my kids like that ever again! They're making it in life before either of them are in their twenties! And I'm proud of them and no matter how much they hate me, I will always love them. Now get out of here!"

Luka stopped the recording, smirking at Bob Roth. Bob was gobsmacked. "That was manipulated footage!" The producer claimed.

"It was an audio recording..." Luka corrected.

"Bulky warned me about you, Bob. I just wish I listened sooner. You're done, Roth! And your talentless son will not another euro off of other people's hard work. Luka, let's go!" Luka unplugged his phone and walked out of the studio. "Don't try and spin this, Roth. All of Scotty's friends know what you're like." Jagged and the others walked off, leaving Bob Roth humiliated...


At Le Grand Paris, Marinette and the girls were outside, walking to the entrance when the Doorman halted them. "Can I help you, ladies?"

"Yeah, where's Chloé?" Marinette asked calmly. "A friend of mine was robbed a few days ago."

"Chloé is at the police precinct, remanded in custody."

"Her father is the former mayor and her mother is the Queen of Fashion," Alya debunked. "You really think they wouldn't bail her out?"

"No comment," The Doorman replied. Rose, unwilling to show that she was annoyed, turned into Princess Fragrance and shot up into the air at high speed. "WHAT ARE YOU-?" Princess Fragrance was already up on the roof. She began looking through the rooms of the building looking for Chloé before she reached the entrance again.

"She's not here," Princess Fragrance said as she changed back into Rose. "Where could she be?"
