A/N: Salve, everyone! Welcome back to Miraculous Guardians! I know I left the last chapter on another cliffhanger. But like I said, I had an idea for Matt's akumatized form, and you're about to see it! Let's go!

Chapter 14) Return of Shagon
Matt opened his eyes, his head still throbbing.
"Mmm, what happened?" he asked himself as he tried to adjust his vision. He looked around at his surroundings and gasped, realizing where he was. "Oh, no," he said.
He recognized this place. After all, he spent a few months there before he fought off the demon controlling him.
"Well, this is new," he heard someone say.
Matt turned around and saw Hawkmoth, standing in the mist.
"A-are you…" Matt said. "Yes, I am Hawkmoth, and it appears that you have your own kind of power. Like your friend, I believe," the villain said. "Well, try all you want, but I was already turned evil before and I broke free of him," Matt said.
"I'm sure you're talking about me," he heard a familiar voice say. He looked over and saw Shagon. "Long time, no see," the demon said.
"Since you have a stronger resistance than my other victims, I'm passing the power to another part of you," Hawmoth said. He turned to Shagon, "I can grant you control again, so that you can get revenge on those who have wronged you," Hawkmoth said, "But, in return, I need you to get me Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses."
"You won't get away with this, Shagoff," Matt said, "I'll just stop you again."
"I don't think so. This is the power that Hawkmoth gave me, you don't have any strength here this time." Matt eyes widen as he suddenly realized the trouble he and his friends were in.

Matt's eyes shot open and he stood up.
As he was rising, the black and purple smoke engulfed his body and when it cleared, Shagon stood in his place, except with a dark purple tunic and Matt's guitar was strapped to his back in between his wings.
Shagon spread his black wings and took off, looking for the Guardians and superheroes.

The nine teens walked down the street looking for their friend.
Will hung up her phone for the umpteenth time, "Why isn't he answering?"
"He seemed pretty upset after the show, maybe he went back home?" Marinette suggested. "Maybe," Will said.
They got to their apartment building to see multiple police cars in front. "Whoa, what's this?" Cornelia said.
Marinette ran up to the only police officer she recognized. "Mr. Raincomprix, what's going on?" she asked her classmate's father.
"Oh, we got a call about a monster loose in the building," he said. "A monster?" Adrien said. "What did it look like?" Marinette asked him. "Well, we didn't see it ourselves, but witnesses say that he looked like a giant, white gremlin," the policeman replied.
Just then, another officer came up and stated, "Sir, we searched the entire building."
"And?" Sabrina's father asked. "We didn't find the monster," his second-in-command said, "But we think we know where he was."
"And where was that?" Roger asked. "Apartment 5D," he replied. "5D?" Will asked, "That's our apartment."
"Well, the entire apartment was destroyed and the only thing we could find was a pet cage that was torn apart."
Another officer walked up with her dormouse's cage, which was torn up like he told them. "It looks like it was broken from the inside out," Adrien pointed out.
"Huggles," Will said. "Huggles?" Alya asked. "My pet dormouse," Will said, "Matt gave him to me before we started dating."
"I hope he's okay," Hay Lin said. No one had noticed that Marinette and Adrien had disappeared.

"It's obvious that Hawkmoth has taken another victim," Adrien said as he and Marinette found a safe hiding spot. "Yeah, but a dormouse?" she said. "Why not?" Tikki said, flying out of her purse. "Yeah," Plagg agreed, "After all, he akumatized a robot before."
"But why would Will's pet be akumatized?" Adrien asked. "Maybe he wasn't," Marinette said. This only earned her confused looks from Adrien and his kwami. "I mean, Matt was pretty upset after his performance," she suggested. "So, you think Matt has something to do with Huggles going missing?"
"Maybe, but I think Ladybug and Cat Noir can figure it out. Tikki, spots on!"
"Plagg, claws out!"

Will and the other girls stood in the door of their apartment. Like the officer said, it was trashed. The doors were ripped off of their hinges, the glasses in the cupboards were smashed, the carpet and beds were torn up, and the dressers were smashed, leaving their clothes on the ground, ripped up as well.
"Man, Huggles did a number on this place," Cornelia stated. "I just don't get it, why would Matt transform Huggles?" Hay Lin asked.
"Because Matt was probably akumatized," someone said behind them. They turned around and saw the two Parisian heroes.
Ladybug walked in, stepping on the broken glass and torn clothes. "Man, it looks like you used your Cataclysm on this place, Cat," she said. "So, what do you think happened here?" Taranee asked. "Well, we caught Marinette and Adrien and they filled us in on the whole situation with Matt's performance on the show," Cat Noir said, "Sounds like he might've been akumatized. But that wouldn't explain your pet."
Suddenly, they heard screaming from outside and they ran to the windows.
Outside, they saw the white, gremlin monster that the witnesses claimed to see, flipping over cars and smashing windows. "Mr. Huggles!" Will said. "That's your pet?" Ladybug asked unbelievably.
Then, they saw a man with black wings and a golden mask that covered his entire face, fly down and land next to him. "Shagon?" Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin said together. "Y-you know him?" Ladybug said.
"It's kinda hard to explain right now," Irma said, "Not with a supervillain currently on the loose."
"You're right," Ladybug said, "Come on, Cat Noir." The two of them jumped out the window, into battle.
"Come on, we gotta help," Hay Lin said. "You want us to go out in the open so everyone can see us?" Cornelia said. "Don't worry, I made these," Hay Lin said, she pulled out five masks, all purple with a different symbol in the spot between the two eyeholes, and handed one to each of her friends.
"Guardians, unite."

Ladybug and Cat Noir stood before Shagon and Khor (Mr. Huggles) with their weapons drawn.b
"You think you can defeat me, Ladybug and Cat Noir?" Shagon said, "You can't even defeat Hawkmoth, so you might as well hand over your Miraculouses to me, before someone gets hurt."
"Never!" Ladybug exclaimed.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the ground between the two heroes and two villains.
They all looked up and saw a familiar looking, red-headed, fairy-like girl that the heroes immediately recognized, followed by her friends.
Will landed next to the Miraculous holders. She wore a purple mask with two, pink, curving, horizontal lines in the middle. "Will?" Ladybug whispered. "The name's Electra," she replied. "Electra?" Cat Noir said confusedly.
"Well, we can't use our real names, can we?" Hay Lin said. She also wore a purple mask, but instead of a pink symbol, hers was light-blue spiral, "I'm Aria!" She sent a gust of wind towards Shagon and Khor, throwing them back a bit.
Shagon suddenly fired a blast that hit Ladybug and threw her into a lamppost, knocking her out.
"Hey!" Cat Noir said angrily. He ran and tried to attack, but was thrown back by another blast from Shagon.
The black cat boy stood back up, dusting himself off. "Are you okay, Cat Noir?" Cornelia asked. She had on a mask with a green dot in the middle of a circle. "Yeah, thanks…" Cat Noir said. "Terra," Cornelia finished, "We based our hero names on our powers," she gestured to Irma, whose mask had a blue spiral like Hay Lin/Aria's, "Aqua." Then, she gestured to Taranee, whose mask had an orange triangle on it, "and Pyra."
"Aqua, go try to wake up Ladybug," Electra ordered. "On it," the water guardian said, flying over to the unconscious spotted heroine.
"You'll pay for that, Shagon!" Cat Noir said, only to be met with a sinister laugh. "I don't think so, you dumb cat," Shagon claimed, "For you are unknowingly giving me power as we speak." This only confused Cat Noir even further.
"Cat Noir, you have to stop feeling angry," Electra said, "That's where he gets his power!" Cat Noir took a deep breath through his nose and exhaled through his mouth, "Okay."
+=0=+
"Come on, Ladybug," Aqua said, lightly slapping the heroine in an attempt to wake her up. When that didn't work, she created a ball of water with her powers and threw it in Ladybug's face.
Ladybug coughed, putting her hand to her head, "What happened?"
"Shagon knocked you out," Aqua said. "Oh, right," Ladybug said, looking at her hands to see whether she was Ladybug or Marinette. She stood up and pulled out her yo-yo, "Where's Cat Noir?"
After she said this, her feline partner flew past them and hit a mini-van, setting off the alarm. "There," Aqua answered. Ladybug ran over to Cat Noir while Aqua joined the other guardians in the fight.
"Cat Noir, are you okay?" Ladybug asked. "Yeah, I'm fine," Cat Noir said, standing up and rolling his shoulders, "Thanks to Plagg.""
"Let's go," Ladybug said with a smile, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Matt watched in horror as he saw his friends and girlfriend being attacked from his own point of view.
"No!" he exclaimed as he saw Taranee create a flame circle around him, "This needs to stop!"
Shagon chuckled, "Consider this payback." Matt growled and once again, tried to attack Shagon, who blasted him backwards.
Matt stood back up and noticed something strange.
He looked down at his hands and saw that they were slightly transparent, "What's going on?"
"Oh, that's my handiwork," Shagon said, "With the power that Hawkmoth gave me, I will make you disappear for good so even if Ladybug and Cat Noir cleanse the akuma, they'll have no way to turn you back to normal. And since the only other part of you is me, then I can take full control again and avenge Nerissa."
+=0=+
A/N: I hope you like my little twist to the akuma. I had some serious writer's block until I put that part in about Shagon making Matt disappear. Remember to R,R&S. And also remember to throw me your ideas. See you next time in Miraculous Guardians. Vale!
P.S. I'm going back to my other fanfiction, so I won't work on the next chapter until I'm done with the next chopter of that one. So, I thank you for being patient with me.
