This chapter makes no sense at first, so you will probably be confused, but don't worry you'll get it eventually.
"A-adrien?" I mumbled as I pulled the covers off of me. My eyes fluttered open and something felt different. I examined the room and nothing looked different at first glance. I pulled myself up and suddenly realized what was wrong. I was Marinette again.

"Tikki!" I yelled in excitement. I pulled my body off the bed and searched for the red kwami but she was nowhere to be found. Weird.

I slowly crept out of Adrien's room, trying to be as quiet as possible. No one seemed to home. Very weird.

"Marinette?" Someone called. I looked behind me on the large golden steps to see Chat Noir. Super weird.

"Chat? What are you doing here?" I questioned. He didn't answer me, he just stared at me with an expression free of emotions. "I, uh, my, uh, transformation wore off finally, but I can't find Tikki." I mumbled, trying to make this less awkward. What is happening?

"I need to take you somewhere." He stated before grabbing me by the waist and using his stick to transport us through Paris. I held onto his neck like my life depended on it and closed my eyes as my head buried into his chest.

We walked into a dark building. The only avaliable light came from a dome on the ceiling. In the center was a figure with his back turned to us. I looked over to Chat who was standing in his fighting stance. He wasn't moving, talking, who knows if he was even breathing. I then looked down to the ground in front of me and realized something - I was Ladybug again. I never even transformed though.

"Hello?" I squeaked. Although I was in my suit, I felt weak, confused, lost, definitely not how I should be feeling. I heard deep chuckles coming from the figure in the center.

"Ladybug," He said without even turning "Do you know who I am?" He asked.

"N-no."

He turned around and frowned at me. I studied his features - they seemed so familiar. "Well, you will soon." I looked back to see what Chat was doing, but we wasn't there.

"Where did he go?" I asked. He chuckled in response once again.

"I tried to show you who I am before, but he ruined it."

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. What is happening? My mind was flooded with questions. Suddenly he snapped his fingers and I was back at the scene of where it happened. The scene played in slow motion. The car inched forward and Chat tried to move me, but I didn't move. I studied the car intensely, trying to figure out why he brought me back here.

Then I saw it.

The guy in the drivers seat, he's the one in the center of the room.

Suddenly I was back in the large, dark room. The man in the center stared at me with a look of pleasure.

"Call me illusionator."

The light faded away and everything was now pitch black.

"I-illusionator?" I repeated.

"Let me know when you want to go back." He stated with a low- and quite creepy - chuckle.

"She's awake!"

"Marinette!"

"Finally."

"Mari?"

Finally my eyes shot open to a room full of people. I stared at the people in confusion.

"What happened?"

Everyone stared at me as if it was obvious.

"You got hit by car." The nurse stated.

"Yeah, but that was a few days ago and I'm fine now, but a few minuetes ago I was wi-"

"No, that was about a week ago." The nurse corrected me. "And you've been here the whole time." She explained.

"No, I was just with the Illus-"

"Mari, trust me, you've been here for about a week, no where else." Someone else spoke up. I was shocked by who it was. Adrien.

"O-o-ok." I stuttered.

"You'll be in here for one more night to make sure you're alright, then you can go home." The nurse stated before walking out, leaving me with just me friends. I watched as she stopped my parents from walling in.

"I've missed you so much!" Alya yelled as she pulled me into a hug. "I didn't think you were coming back!" I groaned in pain from the tight embrace and she let go.

"I didn't even know I was gone." I told Alya although I was staring at Adrien like I have ever since I knew he was here. "Can I, uh, have a moment alone with Adrien?" I questioned, finally looking at my red headed friend. She smirked at me before grabbing Nino's hand and dragging him out.

"What do you need Mari?" He questioned. Nervousness struck me hard and I found it very difficult to speak. Adrien looked concerned as he ran by my side, staring at me questioningly. I wanted to run away now as I realized how foolish what I was about to do was. What if it was just a dream? Nothing more, nothing less - meaning it's all fake and he's not Chat. Then he'll think I'm a foolish girl to think that he's Chat and I'll end up giving up my identity.

"Marinette, are you alright?" He asked.

"C-chat?" I asked hopefully. I stared down not wanting to see his reaction.

"H-how do you know?" He stuttered.

"A dream, or maybe reality, I really can't tell right now." I sighed.

Adrien's pov

"Marinette, please wake up!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry to disappoint kid, but I don't think Ladybugs gonna make it out of this this time." Plagg mumbled quietly.

"Yes, she will, I just know she will." I stated.

"Maybe try looking for the ak-"

"No." I shouted. I'm starting to get agitated at the small kwami.

"Why not?"

"I can't, I can't do anything without her." I said. My voice was barely a whisper, so quiet I'm surprised Plagg could hear.

"Whatever kid, but she's not coming back until you destroy the akuma who put her in this dream state" Plagg said as he started to float away.

"Wait." I sighed. The black kwami floated back with a very familiar smirk.

"Finally figuring out that I'm right?"

"How do we fix the akuma without her?" I asked. "We can't, so we can't do it without her." Now it was my turn to give a smirk.

"Well, actually."

Well as you should have gotten, basically everything that has happened, was all Marinette's dream.

So the next chapter is what actually happened at that fight.
