Up in space, Marinette and Alya were in Marinette's quarters resting after Stormy Weather and the rest of the minions left their ship after Hawk Moth's ship became damaged from a fire fight.
"Hawk Moth must be desperate to get the jewels if he's using others to do his dirty work," said Alya.
The ombré haired woman was relaxing on a couch playing with her fox tail necklace in her blue pants and black boots and an orange tunic.  Marinette was wearing a white shirt with a black jacket and pink pants with black boots and tying her hair in long pig tails in front of her mirror.
"To get someone like Aurore on his side means he's pretty good at persuasion," said Marinette.
"So where did you send the escape pod then?  And how will we find it?"
"I'm not sure, I was in a panic trying to input coordinates that I'm pretty sure were just random numbers and letters.  But, if one of them gets activated we will know as fellow Miraculous users and be able to track it."
"Yes, but you do realize that not only will we be able to locate it but Hawk Moth as well," Alya pointed out grimly.
"Then we just have to get there first," sighed Marinette.
On Hawk Moth's ship in another part of space, he sat in his chair contemplating his next move.
"Sir, repairs have been completed," said Stormy walking in.  "Shall we make another attack on the Princess's ship," she asked too happily.  She wanted another crack of her.
"No, we need to wait and find the case you had failed to secure before it got jettisoned to who knows where," he growled.
"I could have gotten the location out of her if you hadn't called me back," she protested.
"Somehow I doubt that.  No matter since it will take just having one of the jewels to become active we can trace the signal and follow it and take the rest of them. And then, after I secure Ladybug's and Volpina's I will be unstoppable!"
"But they're just suits," said Stormy.  "What's really so special about them?"
"Let's just say they are the key to an ultimate weapon."
Meanwhile back on Earth, Adrien had made it home to his luxury apartment, located at the top of the building.  It wasn't his ideal space, it felt like he was back at the mansion; cold, dark and lonely.  Adrien thought about getting a pet but, the lease agreement stated no pets.  So after placing his things down on the table and taking a shower and putting on his pajamas, he settled down on his couch and turned on the TV.  The news was on and it was about the metal sphere that crashed into the park.
"Authorities have closed off the park after reports came in of people hearing and seeing something crash into the ground," stated the reporter at the scene.  "Witnesses indicated that it sounded like thunder and they felt the ground shake.  Police are searching the area for clues as to where something like this came from and more importantly, what is inside."
"They hadn't mentioned it was opened?  Guess they didn't want people to panic if they made it sound like something escaped."
Adrien made his way to his kitchen for a snack when he saw the case under his belongings.  He got curious and decided now was a good time to check what is inside it.  He took the case to his living room and set it on the coffee table in front of him.  There didn't seem to be any locks or clasps.
"Maybe there's a passcode?"  Adrien thought more on it and tried a few words, none of course worked.  Save for one; it was a long shot but, it was the only one he hadn't tried.  "Miraculous," he said and then, he heard a click.
The case expanded and split open.  There was an empty space for what appeared to be a necklace with a fox tail charm to the far left.  A yellow and black hair comb with a bee on it sat next to it followed by a bracelet with a green turtle shell charm.  Then, a brooch that looked like a peacock with its feathers out appeared followed by another empty space with a butterfly symbol.  Then, those layers split apart and a single platform rose up.  On it was a ring, a black ring with a green paw in the center and another empty space next to it with a ladybug symbol.
"What are these," Adrien asked in awe.  "They're just, ordinary pieces of jewelry."
He eyed them carefully, seeing which one he should try out.  He wasn't a bracelet kind of guy and the hair comb and peacock brooch didn't seem to fit his style either.  So, he took the ring.  He turned it and examined it.  And then, he put it on his finger.  It fit perfectly and he wasn't sure how it did but the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.  He then noticed the paw blinking a bit.
"Interesting."

Adrien began to tap the ring to get it to stop blinking and that's when things got crazy.  He heard a click and he saw black material begin to spread on his hand and travel up his arm.
"What?!  What is happening?!"
He tried to get the ring off but it wouldn't budge.  Adrien was panicking as the black armored suit covered his body.  Black gauntlets formed on his hands and it appeared that he had claws.  Black boots on his feet manifested.  A black armored chest plate settled on his upper body with a bright green paw in the center.  A long, thin piece of black material wrapped around his waist and settled on the floor.  Adrien felt something form on his head and it was a helmet.  Cat shaped ears popped up and a green visor formed over his eyes and a computer screen came to life.
"Whoa!  What is this?!  Am I Iron Man?!"
"I don't know who that is but this suit ain't made of iron," said a bored voice.
"Who said that?!"
Adrien looked frantically to find the person who spoke to him.
"Quit movin' your head around!  You're making me dizzy!"
"Who are you?!  Where are you?!"
"I am an AI that's part of the Kwami Collective."
"An AI?  You mean, artificial intelligence?"
"So there is a brain in this empty shell," the AI snickered.
"Hey," cried Adrien.  "So can I call you Jarvis then?"
"My name isn't Jarvis.  It's Plagg."
"Alright, Plagg.  My name is Adrien.  Can you tell me what the heck I am wearing?"
Plagg sighed and went into the same speech he always had to give.
"You are wearing a Miraculous.  A highly advanced battle mechsuit.  This is the Black Cat model.  Your boots help increase your speed and maintain your footing no matter the surface you are standing on.  Your gauntlets increase your strength, good for punching and the claws can cut through just about anything."
"Wow!"
"Your chest plate serves as your power source as well as extra protection.  That cat paw indicates how much power your have.  Full paw, means full power, you get the idea."
"What about this tail," asked Adrien picking up the appendage.
"Well, we are going for a theme here.  Like any cat, your tail helps you maintain your balance and can be used as an extra appendage.  On your head is your helmet.  The ears help pick up sounds from miles away and you will be able to differentiate each sound through my filtering software and I can help focus on a particular sound.  The visor helps you to get a sense of your surroundings and at night, night vision mode is automatically activated and deactivated when you enter a room with lights on."
"This is so cool!  What about my weapons?!"
"Reach behind your back.  There's a stick you need to pull out."
Adrien did so and found a short silver cylinder.
"This is a weapon?"
"Looks can be deceiving, kid.  That is your baton and what makes it special is that it can extend to unlimited lengths and can be split in two.  Also it has extra features; like being used to stun enemies through jolt of electricity."
"So how do I get it to work?"
"Hold it with both hands for a second." Adrien did so until Plagg spoke again.  "Link has been established.  Just mentally ask it to extend and it will.  With enough practice, the staff will do it automatically given whatever your current situation is."
"Anything else I should know about?"
"Not right now."
"Well then, how about a test run," Adrien asked gleefully while heading to his window.
"I don't think that's a good idea, kid," said a worried Plagg.  "You're still too new at this!"
Adrien smirked.
"Plagg.  Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk."
Adrien opened his window and leaped into the air.  He pulled the baton out and it immediately extended, helping him vault his way to a building.  He ran across the rooftops, getting a feel for the suit and how he can move in it.  He jumped higher than humanly possible.  He could clearly see where he was going in the dark night.  The staff would extend to help Adrien make jumps he couldn't make.  Adrien did aerial tricks in the air.  Backflips, forward flips, spins and side winders.  He ran all the way to the Eiffel Tower and landed on the platform just above the empty observation deck.  The smile on his face wasn't going away anytime soon.
"OH MY GOSH, what a rush!  That was awesome!  Oh man!  This is the best day of my life!"
"Geez, why do I always get stuck with the over dramatic ones," sighed Plagg.
Meanwhile on Marinette's ship, an officer was at the controls when he noticed a signal coming through.  He looked into it and saw it was the signal they had been waiting for.  He rushed out to find the Princess.
"Princess Marinette!  Princess!"
"Hey, what's with all the shouting," said Alya who happened to walk by.
"It's the signal!  A Miraculous has been activated!"
"Get a location on where that signal is coming from, set a course and get us there as fast as you can!  We need to get there before Hawk Moth does," yelled Alya as she went to tell Marinette.
Over in another ship, Hawk Moth stood in front of a screen displaying the same signal that Marinette's ship received and malicious smile began to form.
Hey everybody!  Since it's my birthday today, here's the next part of this story!  Enjoy!
