In the city, Artisan swings her paintbrush and fires off splashes of paint all over the place, some are realistic and some are just paint splashes.

Artisan: They always say let my creativity flow. And that's what I'm going to do. Nobody can stop me!

???: Think again! *Artisan turned around and she saw Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny. *

Artisan: Ladybug. You and your wannabe hate critics will never stop me and my passion for art.

Cat Noir: Why are you doing this? And more importantly, who are you?

Artisan: Oh, where are my manners? *She leaped up and landed in front of them. * I am Artisan! I'm sick of people telling me what I can or can't do. Especially my pain in the butt mother. I'm gonna show you all what it means to have creative passion. Without people like you getting in the way. *She dipped her paintbrush in the blue paint and started painting water waves. * Hope you all can swim. * The flow of water came towards them; they evaded the water splash. *

Cat Noir: I don't think this suit is dry clean only.

Artisan: Don't run away just yet. The fun has just begun. Have fun with my bug infestation. *She dipped her paintbrush in the yellow paint and created a swarm of bugs. * After them! *They started buzzing, they evaded the bugs. *

Eagle: What is her deal? Why is she doing this?

Ladybug: No clue.

Cat Noir: Cover me. I know how to get rid of this pest problem. *He gets out a grenade, pulls the small cord, and throws it out. Then, it exploded, and a cat nip fog appeared, Artisan scowled and landed. *

Artisan: Get back here! Nobody should escape my creative flow!

Eagle: How about this for creative flow? Wings of Justice! *She clapped her wings and made a gust of wind appear, nearly pushing Artisan back. But she got mad and started firing off paint splats at them, they evaded the paint fire and reflected it off. *

Uncanny: How do we stop her?

Cat Noir: My guess is the Megakuma has got to be the paintbrush. She fires it off every time and creates something realistic.

Ladybug: It might not be it.

Cat Noir: What do you mean?

Ladybug: There might be something on her that we're not seeing.

Artisan: Time for a paint job! Haaaa! *She shoots out a paintbrush full of rainbow colors, and they evade the paint blast, Ladybug throws her yo-yo out at the arm she holds her paint palette, she tries to pull Artisan, but Artisan smirks and points her paintbrush out and fires out more rainbow color paint, she hit Ladybug, which made her loose grip of the yo-yo. *

Cat Noir: Huh. Talk about having nothing but in.

Artisan: Ha! Had enough?

Eagle: Not yet. *She and Uncanny fly up and hover above Artisan. Artisan groaned and the Akuma symbol appeared in her eyes. *

Shadow Moth: You'd better create something good to get their miraculous Artisan! Or I'm taking away your powers!

Artisan: You'd had your fun. Time for the real deal. *She expanded her paint palette, dipped her paintbrush in the purple paint, and made rocket missiles appear, they flew towards Eagle and Uncanny, and they evaded the rocket missiles. Then, Cat Noir extended his stick and tripped Artisan, she fell back and looked at Cat Noir. *

Cat Noir: Hope that was a nice trip.

Artisan: Trip this, pussycat. *She dips her brush in the yellow paint, paints a rope, twirls it, and tries to catch Cat Noir, but he evades the rope toss. * Hold still you! *Then, Ladybug unleashed her swarm of Ladybugs, she swatted them away with her paintbrush. But then she made an insect-repellent lamp and electrocuted them. * I hope that wasn't your best work, Ladybug. Now hand over your miraculouses before I make a painting of your misery.

Ladybug: That'll never happen.

Artisan: Wanna bet? * She starts blasting off more colors, they evade the colors firing off, and they head to the Eiffel Tower and hide from her. *

Eagle: Feel like right now we need a lucky charm to stop wannabe Leonardo Da Vinci.

Ladybug: Okay, you're right. Lucky charm! *She threw her yo-yo up, a swarm of magical ladybugs appeared, and paint strips appeared. * Paint stripper?

Cat Noir: You're gonna erase her artwork? *Meanwhile, Artisan looked around for them and they were nowhere to be in sight. *

Artisan: Where are you? Where!? *Then the Akuma symbol appeared in her eyes again. *

Shadow Moth: Find them Artisan! I want those miraculous now!

Artisan: How can I find them? They just disappeared like disappearing ink!

At the Eiffel Tower, Ladybug lends Uncanny the paint stripper.

Cat Noir: Mind guiding us on why to do exactly?

Ladybug: We're gonna be bait for Artisan, when she tries to blast us with her paint, Uncanny will pour the whole container of paint stripper.

Cat Noir: What does this stuff do exactly?

Uncanny: Removes paint.

Cat Noir: Oh. Okay.

Artisan: Ladybug!

Ladybug: She's coming. Let's go. *Uncanny flies up with the paint stripper while Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Eagle-faced Artisan. *

Artisan: Gotcha now! Surrender now!

Ladybug: Okay, okay. You got us.

Artisan: Huh. Giving up so easily, are we? If I had a camera, I would capture this moment.

Cat Noir: Do you want our miraculous or not?

Artisan: What do you think? *She points her paintbrush out. *

Cat Noir: I'll take that as a yes.

Eagle: But before you do that, wanna know what the secret to a great artist is?

Artisan: Sounds suspicious. But what?

Eagle: This! *She did her Eagle cry and shot at Artisan. *

Artisan: Aaaaah! *She looked around and they were gone. * What the? Where'd they go now? *She moved forward and Uncanny saw her, then she poured the whole container of paint stripper on Artisan. * Hey!

Uncanny: Sorry not sorry. *Artisan grunted angrily. She tried stirring her paintbrush, but there wasn't any on her palette. *

Artisan: Where did all my paint go?! What did you do to my paint? Now I'll never paint anymore!

Ladybug: Take a break from art for a while. *She snatched the paintbrush from her and broke it in half when the Megakuma flew out. * No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma. *She swipes open her yo-yo and starts twirling it around. * Time to de-evilize! *She throws out the yo-yo and catches the Megakuma. * Gotcha! *She swiped open the yo-yo and freed the Butterfly. * Bye-bye, little Butterfly. *She picked up the paint stripper bottle and threw it up in the air. * Miraculous Ladybug! *All the paint went away, Kagami's room was restored, Tomoe was free from the cage, and Artisan changed back to Kagami. She looked around and at her paintbrush. *

Kagami: What happened?

Ladybug: You were akumatized, Kagami. I guess something has to do with what you love to do. * Kagami sighed. *

Kagami: Let's just say my mother just doesn't understand me and my passions. She always wants what's best for me. Not asking me what I want to do. You may say I'm like her little puppet. *They felt bad for her. Then Ladybug opened her yo-yo pulled out a magical charm and handed it to Kagami. *

Ladybug: Here. This magical charm will let you know nobody can tell you about what you want to do in life, you decide what's best for you, no one else.

Kagami: Not even my mother?

Ladybug: Not even her. *Kagami looked at the magical charm in her hand, and she grinned. *

Kagami: Thank you.

Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny: Pound it!

Cat Noir: I'll take her home. *He picked her up, used his stick, and vaulted away. Back in Shadow Moth's lair, Shadow Moth scowled. *

Shadowmoth: Gah, defeated again! Even Artisan's creativity wasn't enough to get your miraculous, Ladybug and Cat Noir. But I intend to make it my life's work to get them someday! Just you wait! *The window closed too. *
