"We are here! Finally!" I exclaim as I land on the ground that's in a ravine. Right next to us is a pond full of water. I place Chloe on the ground before letting the transformation go, catching Tikki while Chloe catches Bebey.

"This place will ruin my manicure! Good thing we have these clothes though! I don't want my other one to get ruined." Chloe complains while I give Tikki some cookies.

"Bebey, what do you eat?" I ask, looking through my bag.

"Soup. But I can eat anything for now." She replies. I take out a jar of honey.

"How about honey?" I ask she nods so Chloe takes the jar of honey and helps feed Bebey. While she does this, I look around for the entrance.

"The entrance is there!" Tikki points to a wall I go over and touch it, squealing with fright when my hand goes straight through it.

"Are you okay Mari?" Chloe asks.

"Yeah! We found the entrance to the cave so ready when you are." I say before walking through the wall. Chloe follows after me.

"Walk exactly in the middle of the hallway to avoid any traps." Tikki informs us, leading the way through the cave while I strap a light on my head. Chloe does the same after putting on a hat. Typical Chloe.

"So what are we looking for?" I ask. We reach a fork in the paths and Tikki looks at all three before choosing left.

"We are looking for a journal that has information and a necklace inside of it. That necklace is Hawkmoth's weakness. Before Ladybug passed away, she hid it here with only me knowing where to find it." She explains.

"Well how long will this take? If we don't get back to Paris before night then daddy might think I was kidnapped! He would send everybody to look for us." Chloe says, making me pale.

"What if an akuma attacks! I won't be there to purify it and Paris would be in danger." I sat. Suddenly, I hear a click below my foot. I look down to see my foot in a hole.

"Watch out!" Chloe shouts, pointing at the wall beside me. I jump out of the way before an arrow hits me in the face.

"That scared me!" I sigh in relief before standing up. Suddenly, I hear something behind us. I turn to see a giant rock rolling towards us.

"Run!" Bebey shouts, making us all run through the arrow trap that ran out of arrows to shoot. I grab some as we are running.

"What are we going to do?" Chloe asks.

"Keep running!" I shout before turning around and throwing the arrows at the bottom of the rock, trying to slow it down. The arrows make the ball slow down but it doesn't stop it. I then turn to see a crack in the wall, big enough for us to fit. Quickly, I grab Chloe and Tikki who are running or flying and drag them to the crack, the rock going past us.

"Let's just hurry up so we can get out of here." Chloe says. I nod before taking the front path, this time watching out for traps. Tikki flies in front of me while Bebey stays on Chloe's shoulder. Soon, we reach a room with rleven doors and one key hanging in the middle of the room. I walk up to the wall that has ancient writing.

"It says 'choose one door. If you choose the right one then you will enter the room and if you choose wrong, you will become trapped." Tikki says before flying into my side purse. Chloe goes to take the key but I stop her.

"Careful. It might be a trap." I say. Tikki flies off of my purse and presses something before taking the key and giving it to me.

"I turned the trap off so it's safe. Now you have to figure out which door to use. I cannot help you." She says before flying back into my purse, making me sweatdrop. I turn towards all of the doors. From left to right the doors have a pattern of ladybugs, cat paws, black and yellow stripes, another Ladybug, a peacock, a turtle, another cat paws, a butterfly, the stripes, a peacock and a turtle.

"They all have the same keyhole!" Chloe exclaims, looking at the yellow and black striped doors.

"Well they should so we can go into the wrong door and stay trapped forever. Now, we need to find the right door." I say before concentrating on all of the doors.

"What about the Ladybug doors? Since you have the Ladybug miraculous, you would go through the Ladybug door." Chloe says. I shake my head.

"But that would be too easy. Wait!" I gasp before looking at all of the doors. "Chloe you are a genius." I say.

"Thank you. I know I am." She smirks. I laugh before turning to the butterfly door.

"These all have to do with the miraculous. All of these have two sets of doors but the butterfly. Hawkmoth is the butterfly Kwami and this item is his weakness." I say before walking up to the door and placing the key in it, turning it. Suddenly, the door collapses backwards, showing a room with a book.

"Nice job Mari! There's the journal." Chloe says. We both walk into the room.

"Let's transform just incase. Tikki, spots on!" I shout. Me and Chloe transform.

"Now what?" She asks. Suddenly, my yoyo starts ringing. I answer the call.

"Ladybug. You missed your patrol. Where are you?" Chat Noir asks.

"Sorry. I forgot! Do you mind taking over for me? I'm unable to do it right now." I ask.

"WHY ARE YOU IN EGYPT?" He shouts, scaring me. I guess he used the tracker in the yoyo. "I saw you yesterday."

"Long story. I should be back later. I will take over the night shift if I am but for now-"

"Ahh! Ladybug watch out!" I am cut off by Chloe pushing me out of the way. I look up to see an akuma, flying above us.

"Hey! Ladybug are you okay?" I hear Chat Noir shout over the yoyo. I grab it before looking up to see the one who I hoped wasn't here.

"Hawkmoth!" I growl before diving towards the journal, throwing it at Chloe.

"Queen Bee, get out of here! I will meet up with you!" I shout before turning back to Hawkmoth who has akuma's around him.

"Hawkmoth? Get out of th-" I hang up before swinging my yoyo at the akuma's, purifying some but missing others.

"Do you really think you can defeat me?" Hawkmoth says. Suddenly, more akumas come, trapping me in a ball. I start hitting the akumas with my yoyo but they don't move. Instead, I use my lucky charm. Out comes a bug spray that I start using on the akuma's. It weakens them, letting me jump my way out of there.

"You have won this time but I will get that journal. When I do, I will have your miraculous!" Hawkmoth says before jumping on the platform of akumas and flying away. "Have fun." He smirks at me before hitting the wall, making the door shut and holes appear in the wall, water coming out of it. It starts filling up at a rapid pace.

"I don't have enough time. Hopefully Queen Bee is out of here already." I say to myself before looking at one of the holes, noticing that it's big enough for a human to fit. I take a deep breath before diving into the water, swimming through the passage. It starts to turn upwards, making it harder for me to swim from the pressure of the water coming down of me. As soon as I'm out of the passage and into the big source of water, I lose my breath, making me dizzy and start to fall back into the water.

"Oh no you don't!" I hear before something thin wraps around my wrist, pulling me up. I start to cough out the water before collapsing onto the ground, my transformation wearing off to show Tikki falling into Chloe's hands. I look at my wrist to see a spinning top connected to some string that Chloe holds.

"Tikki." I say before passing out.
