Chapter 43
Alya had returned back into her house along with her family, which sat on the couch watching the news with a large traffic jam on the highways to leave Paris which was shown from up the sky with a drone.
„After Hawk Moth's revelation, the traffic jam on the A1 has raised immediately in just an hour. People who are still around Paris are suggested to stay at home or on the inside until further information,"
„Honestly leaving is a bad option for me. It never was a good option. We should do the same what we did the other time back when Hawk Moth showed his face the first time at the Eiffel tower," Nora stated earning a nod from her father.
„The superheroes have brought us and the other akumas under control. I believe something big is going to happen soon for them to have kidnapped our boy just like that," Otis mentioned. „Nino must have been more worth to Hawk Moth as he surely knows the identities of the other heroes,"
„This isn't the issue dad. Hawk Moth knows, that if they have Nino the heroes know they have Carapace they would want to do anything possible to get him back," Alya pointed out, then her mother caressed Alya on her cheek, making the girl lean her cheek towards the mother's head. „I know this won't bring a lot of use, but maybe for others it could," Alya said walking back into her bedroom, then sat down in front of her computer turning the screen on to turn on the Facestargram site the live stream option on.
„Hello girls and boys. Alya here. My entire family got akumatized a little while before, but thanks to Ladybug and the new bee-themed superhero Sting we got freed from his hands. I want you all to know, that you all can fight together against Hawk Moth. Don't let this fear ever get into you. Remember my words, there's a hero inside every one of you. We all are super in our own ways. We don't need any superpowers or miraculouses to become super.
„As long as we have this and this…." Alya explained pointing at her heart, followed by her head, and nodded while smirking before continuing her speech. „We're going to be all-stars. Mark my words. If you see an akuma don't run away, hunt it away from you. Use something to crush them and never show any negative emotion towards them. You can all do it," Alya cheered.
Lila sat at the moment inside a car, while next to her was the bodyguard of her annoyed at the traffic, while Lila sighed after them not being able to move forward.
„Why did you listen to my mother's suggestion in going to Switzerland? Lila asked. „We will be tomorrow stuck inside this," Lila said, then her smartphone received a video call and Lila was surprised to see her mother calling and Lila accepted the video call.
„We're stuck in traffic mamma. There's no way we're going to arrive in Switzerland today," Lila complained seeing her mother nod, then she screamed and Lila looked beside her, then jumped and opened the door to get out of the car, followed by hitting the door on the car beside them.
„Hey! This is leased!" The driver shot annoyed, then the akuma that was going to enter Lila's vehicle entered into the man's car disappearing into the vehicle.
„Woah!" Lila shrieked, then ran away from the car leaving her bodyguard back, which looked out angry from the vehicle and another akuma got into his watch on his hand causing him to transform into a large panda bear.
„Lila! Lila! Where did you go?!" Lila's mother called as the smartphone lied on the ground with the display turned up at the sky where the woman saw a couple of akumas fly by making her gasp.
Lila in the meanwhile ran on the left side between two lines of cars, which were stuck in traffic trying to make her way out of there, then she watched on the other side how the cars moved on the highway normally. Lila shrieked as one of the cars next to her honked at her, then Lila ran to the small walls in the middle, which split the highway from the opposite direction and a different honk made noise getting Lila's attention and the vehicle stopped on the road with its warning lights turned on. Lila looked confused at the strange garage car and recognized the driver, which was the mother of her friend Nathaniel Kurtzberg, which moved her arm to tell the girl to enter into the back of the car and Lila entered into the back row of the car, watching the woman press on the gas pedal to move forward causing Lila to slip back against her seat at the quick acceleration of the hatchback vehicle.
„Thank you Miss Kurtzberg," Lila thanked relieved at the woman having stopped to give her a ride. „You weren't caught by the akumas I see,"
„We need to stay strong to pass through this time. It's not easy for everyone, but we can do it without a problem. What helps me better is listening to the music," Miss Kurtzberg said pressing on the volume button to unmute the radio, which was playing a modern pop song on the radio, then the car automatically interrupted the radio to informations.
„River Langerak is speaking here. The law enforcement has raised their patrol on the road to assist people in need and to protect those who cannot at the moment. Another security deal was made at clinics, retirement homes, hospitals, and nursery homes, which are currently active. Kids and teens are suggested to stay home or at the school for now."
„The civil defense and the army are working together in groups to move out to specific locations for assistance. If anyone is near an akumatized supervillain, beware and stay hidden in a safe place. Do not attempt to fight them. Stay calm if an akuma is approaching you. As long as you don't show any negative emotion like fear, anger, or panic, the akuma won't take over you. Be strong ladies and gentlemen. Be around with your family or friends when possible. Only together we can be strong enough to pass through this. I know deep inside my heart, that this will be over soon,"
Nathaniel was sitting in the bed in the hospital looking at the TV to see the brunette woman on TV hold a speech, while next to Nathaniel a policeman sat phoning with someone, then during the chat, he picked up the plush from Nathaniel and noticed the nose of the animal had a thread looking out, then the cop pressed on it feeling something hard under it and leaned his shoulder up against the phone to hold it on his ear, then ripped off the thread of the nose to open it and noticed inside the plastic nose a small device, which he took out and nodded at finding a hint for the case he was working on.
„Young boy, who gave you this gift?" The policeman asked looking at Nathaniel, which noticed the open nose of the plush and the man holding a small microphone in his hand.
„Adrien told me his father's assistant Nathalie bought it so he could give it to me," Nathaniel answered watching the man get up to open a box that lied in the patient room in front of Nathaniel with medical gloves, tissues and other pharmacies materials, where the man took out one plaster and stick it on the sticky side of it the microphone.
„I think we may found our clue to get closer to our culprit," The policeman said making Nathaniel think on the day Adrien gave him the plush afterward Nathaniel widened his eyes in shock as he remembered the other day ago Nathalie Sancoeur was in the hospital and entered into the same restroom as him.
„I think Nathalie wanted to kill me!" Nathaniel announced getting the policeman's attention. „I remember walking into the restroom and she was there doing something with the paper and the hand sanitizer and then…...I don't remember what happened, but I woke up here along with my mom and your friend," Nathaniel explained earning a nod from the policeman.
„Roger, another clue is pointing at this person. According to the victim she was in the same bathroom as the boy and tried to poison him with hand sanitizer," The cop explained. „Copy that,"
„Why would she want to do this to me?" Nathaniel questioned himself quietly at noticing the police getting really quick to the solution.
At the repository of Hawk Moth, Nathalie sat on the ground coughing while Hawk Moth patted the woman on the back with a guilt facial expression.
„We shouldn't have done this, Nathalie," Hawk Moth said watching Nathalie shake her head.
„We almost did it, sir. We need to try it again," Nathalie asked watching Hawk Moth think about her offer and shake his head.
„No, I can't risk it to lose another person. I need to do it differently," Hawk Moth mentioned trying to help the woman up carefully. „I could use any human being to take your place for this job, but this to you would bring you in the same state as Emilie or even worse,"
„It would do the same to every other person,"
„Yes, but none of these persons are more important than you and my son," Hawk Moth stated making Nino behind them stick his tongue out.
„Yuck!" Nino complained giving Hawk Moth an idea.
„Well I think I've got one solution here," Hawk Moth mentioned looking at the dark-skinned boy, which shook his head.
„I would rather die than work for you," Nino responded making Hawk Moth laugh.
„Aww this usual phrase you hear in many superhero movies," Hawk Moth commented earning a nod from Hawk Moth. „Don't worry, you already did this once and you're going to do it again…..but this time as Multiplikator,"
„Eww I hate Math," Nino complained making the villain chuckle. From above Duusu the peacock kwami appeared and waved at the two adults to get their attention.
„Sir Ladybug and two other heroes are out there in front of the house. Soon or later they may get in here," Duusu told the man, which looked at Nathalie, that shrugged her shoulders.
„I will be right back," Hawk Moth announced running into the lift destransforming back into Gabriel Agreste, then went up the elevator appearing back in the atelier, then ran at the computer to unlock the security system. Nooroo appeared behind the villain to watch him to the work.
„Sir why are you locking up us inside the mansion? Wasn't the plan to get the superheroes here?" Questioned the butterfly kwami.
„I found it was safer if we had the whole city going after the superheroes to get their miraculouses, but due to Nathalie's state it didn't work and now we're under numbered with Ladybug and their new heroes. This is the only safe option I got. I need to be fast," Gabriel explained finishing to activate all units on the program to lock down all windows and doors to prevent anyone to get in.
On the outside Ladybug stood along with Aspik and Sting looking at the mansion which remained intact along with most of the buildings around it as they were spared by akuma villains, that were responsible for that quarter of the metropolis.
„The villains have made more damage than I thought they did," Sting mentioned from the sight. „And if your dad is really Hawk Moth it's kind of obvious now as this part here was left back,"
„I don't understand why my life is like this. What have I done to deserve this? My mom is gone, my father is Paris' greatest villain, I lost my position as a superhero and my role as the most skilled fencer," Aspik said earning a nod from Ladybug.
„But I thought you were okay with Kagami being on the lead now,"
„Yes I am, but I was referring to the class I joined in London. I feel like I got worse in fencing and can't improve at all. In Paris, this never was the issue,"
„It probably never was as Kagami was most of the times superior to you and that's why you could improve. You learned how to outmatch her and got better," Ladybug mentioned earning a nod from Aspik.
„I feel like you know me in real life," Aspik mentioned. „You do, right?"
„Yeah, I sort of used to have you in sight," Ladybug commented a little embarrassed.
„Okay," Aspik responded watching Ladybug gasp, then Aspik along with Sting watched the mansion get into lockdown mode by shutting down all doors and windows with a metal shield. „Damn, I could have warned you about those doors of the security system,"
„Your house is like a goddamn fortress," Sting commented, then behind the trio Hydra appeared along with Onyx landing behind Aspik.
„We're here," Onyx announced. „Did we miss something special?"
„The mansion just got into lockdown mode," Ladybug stated making Onyx pucker his nose unsure about what the word meant,"
„She refers, that my father activated the security system of the house to prevent us to enter in any way into the house," Explained the snake-themed superhero.
„Great and now?" Onyx asked looking at Hydra and Sting, then Hydra looked at the building and had an idea.
„Where's the energy box of the house?" Questioned Hydra making the boys shrug, except for Aspik, which was thinking about it.
„I don't know, but our mansion has on the side of the garage right there after you pass the entrance a distribution board, which provides our house with electricity. You're meaning that?"
„Exactly," Hydra mentioned cracking joints with her fingers. „Lighting Dragon!" Hydra shouted flying towards the house disappearing beside the garage causing a short crack, afterward the lighting went back to the light pole in front of the house and Hydra fell down on the ground and the heroes watched the security system open up automatically causing the heroes to applaud.
Onyx jumped down at the road to approach Hydra, which had just got up from the floor to see she had made it to unlock the building.
„Are you okay?" Onyx asked watching Hydra smile and let the superhero grab her by the hands. „You made it,"
„Yeah I did," Hydra confirmed, then she looked at the window to encounter Gabriel look through it shrieking Hydra, which Onyx noticed and looked at the window to see Gabriel Agreste along with his kwami looking at the two superheroes.
„Gabriel is right there at the window!" Onyx announced watching Gabriel ran off, then Onyx looked up at the superheroes to see the superheroes nod at the cat-themed superhero.
„You two stay there, I and Aspik will go in there. Sting you observe us in the inside and call Onyx and Hydra for back up," Ladybug ordered jumping with her yo-yo into the plot pulling Aspik with her, then she used her yo-yo to break the window afterward she entered with the blonde into the atelier of the supervillain to encounter Gabriel there in front of the picture of Emilie Agreste with Nooroo eating a cookie.
„Come on Nooroo!" Gabriel ordered watching the kwami trying to eat faster.
„Well, well, well long time no seen Mr. Agreste or should I say…...Hawk Moth!" Ladybug began with a smirk noticing Gabriel lean closer on the wall.
„Here we are now to get our friend back along with your miraculous. What do you think about it? Shall we really go further with a fight or do you think it's better for all of us to just take the easy way?" Aspik asked seeing Gabriel roll his eyes at Nooroo, which was almost done with eating the cookie.
„Come on Nooroo, you have charged enough already," Gabriel complained watching Nooroo swallow the big bits of cookie.
„Try it out master," Nooroo said.
„You're letting him treat you like trash?" Aspik asked watching Nooroo drop his cookie.
„I have no choice. He's the one, who has the miraculous now," Nooroo explained making Ladybug sad, then Gabriel smirked before he took the opportunity to transform into a supervillain.
„Nooroo, Dark Wings rise!" Gabriel chanted and the two former partners watched Nooroo disappear into Gabriel's miraculous so he would turn into Hawk Moth making Ladybug drop her mouth along with Aspik at seeing, that Gabriel really was Hawk Moth all along.
„Jumping juniper, he really was Hawk Moth all along?" Ladybug stated watching Aspik growl and throw his lyre against Hawk Moth, which deflected it by using his cane, causing it to fly against the wall and Aspik went to get it and looked at Ladybug, which used her yo-yo to create a shield to avoid Hawk Moth to attack her.
„Where's our friend Nino?" Questioned Ladybug the villain sternly.
„Oh don't you worry Ladybug, your friend is safe there where he is," Hawk Moth assured making Ladybug frown, then she heard the door open up and Sting threw from behind the door his trompo against the supervillain, which jumped aside to see the trompo spin, then Hawk Moth used his cane to kick the trompo back at the door to kick it against Sting's leg after he got into the room, making him yelp which Ladybug saw, then she looked back at Hawk Moth to see him have his hands over the picture of Mrs. Agreste and the heroine used the yo-yo to pull him down on the ground and Aspik ran towards Hawk Moth packing him on the lapels of the jacket.
„Tell me where Nino is!" Aspik shouted making Hawk Moth smirk and bump his head against Aspik causing him to fall down, making Ladybug angry and Hawk Moth stuck his feet inside the lyre and thew it at Ladybug, which she caught and Hawk Moth used Ladybug's distraction to free himself from the rope by pushing it wide away from him and he ran at the image to encounter the buttons to open the door under him.
„He's escaping!" Sting warned seeing Aspik looking at Hawk Moth disappear while he sat there, then Aspik growled and jumped against Hawk Moth missing the man disappear under the floor.
„Damn it!" Aspik shouted, then Ladybug ran against the wall and tried to look for the buttons hidden in the portrait.
From the window, Onyx jumped in along with Hydra to encounter Ladybug trying to figure out how to activate the secret passage under them.
„Are you sure this works?" Hydra asked, then Aspik looked at Onyx and got up and grabbed Onyx on his hands to get closer to Ladybug.
„Onyx cataclysm the ground here," Aspik ordered. „This is our fastest way to get behind Hawk Moth,"
„Are you sure this works?" Questioned Onyx earning a nod from Aspik.
„Yes, please do me this favor," Aspik asked earning a nod from the raven-haired boy, which activated his cataclysm and touched the ground to break the floor around the place, where Hawk Moth left and Ladybug jumped aside as Onyx created a hole under the heroine and all could look into the darkness to see Hawk Moth run away.
„There he is," Onyx mentioned earning a nod from Aspik.
„Thanks. Look the kitchen is on the other side of this level. Give Plagg something to eat and come back later," Aspik asked earning a nod from the raven-haired boy, which left immediately and Aspik moved his fingers to get Hydra's attention. „You will come down with me and Ladybug. You're able to fence,"
„Okay," Hydra responded looking at Sting, which gave the girl a thumb up, afterward Aspik jumped down along with Ladybug and Hydra, then Sting kneed down to observe the trio disappear in the darkness, but reappear on the ground to follow Hawk Moth.
Under in the repository, Aspik threw his lyre against Hawk Moth causing him to fall down, then Hydra surpassed both superheroes on the railing next to them and approached the supervillain, which took his cane and fought the superheroine while sitting on the ground.
Ladybug and Aspik stood beside each other watching the match, then Hawk Moth kicked Hydra against Ladybug which caught her.
„I'm sorry," Hydra apologized, then Aspik took the sword of the superheroine and attacked Hawk Moth fighting him with anger away from the two girls as Hawk Moth tried to deflect his son's attacks as well as he could.
„Woah you fight just like…..Adrien!" Hawk Moth mentioned recognizing the superhero, then after they left the bridge he tricked his son out by stepping aside to have Aspik fall down on the ground, afterward he got up and attacked Hawk Moth again, which held his staff on his hand and it got kicked away by Aspik.
„How could you be Hawk Moth after all this time?!" Aspik shouted annoyed at the father, then looked at Nino, which was tied up on the railing and Nathalie sat beside him feeling dazed by what she went through a while ago. „Nathalie too?" Asked the snake-themed superhero in shock.
„Gosh this is like in a Brazilian soap opera," Nino mentioned seeing Aspik guide Hawk Moth with the sword away to the capsule behind them which was closed.
„Why are you doing this?!" Aspik asked with a devastated face. „Why!"
„I think it's time to show you why I'm doing this," Hawk Moth announced pressing on a button under the capsule behind him to open the lid in front of the glass to reveal Emilie Agreste's still body towards Aspik which got terrified at the discovery.
Ladybug and Hydra gazed concernedly at Aspik, which was as shocked as the girls at the revelation.
„I'm doing all this for her. For you, Adrien. For us all," Hawk Moth told the reptile-themed hero.
„For us?" Aspik asked while Ladybug shook her head at Hawk Moth's comment. „For us!? You've hurt so many citizens including my friends! '"
„I know I did that, but….I…,"
„Why has she been here under the house and you've never told me anything about it?" Aspik asked pricking him with the sword. „Why did you lie about her being gone? Why did you not just say she was dead?"
„You were just 12 when she fell into the coma. I couldn't just tell you that on that age,"
„Oh yes, but lying was easier, huh?"
„You're young Adrien. You're not a father. You're not the husband, that has been trying to deal with the loss every day after the first day,"
„I'm her son. Do you think it's only hard for you to deal with? You were practically never there for me when I needed someone. Nathalie at least was at some points helpful, but now I see she's just as bad as you,"
„Nathalie never was in the game to help me like this. This was a rare occasion, which I then began to…..misuse,"
„You're horrible, father. How are you able to do such a thing as this just to bring my mother back? She wouldn't want it to be that way,"
„Adrien, listen to me. If Ladybug and Onyx lend us their miraculouses we can use it to bring back your mother. If we do this I promise I will stop this and give back my miraculous. I swear by my life,"
„This isn't possible Hawk Moth. Every action done by the miraculouses combined will carry a reaction" Ladybug explained making Hydra look at Ladybug confused.
„What exactly?" Hydra questioned looking at the leader.
„Well this means if you use the miraculouses to bring someone back to life someone would have to pay with its life for this other person to be able to live,"
„Oh makes sense," Hydra questioned, then Hawk Moth looked at Emilie and back to his son.
„You would probably not give up your own life to have mother back, right?" Aspik asked looking at Hawk Moth, which looked away from Aspik avoiding answering the question. „Of course not. You were chicken to be a decent person, to akumatize everyone in the city, and of course, you're not even brave enough to give up your own life for the sake of your wife," Aspik said stern making his father angry and kick Aspik against the railing seeing the son hit his head on the railing.
„Ouch!" Aspik complained scratching his head, then Ladybug used her yo-yo to get back Hydra's sword and the dragon-themed superheroine came closer to the villain while aiming the point of the sword at the villain.
„Hawk Moth. Hey, I just want to talk to you. Is that okay?" Hydra asked watching Hawk Moth sigh and nod. „A few months ago my father died. I have to confess it's horrible to think about moving on thinking it's impossible, but it is. I didn't completely forget about him, I just learned to live with it. I know how my father would feel if he saw I could move on with my life and live my life. It isn't impossible if you have the help of the right people," Hydra said looking back at Ladybug, which stood there alone and looked back to see none of the two older crew members were around.
„Father I know it's hard to believe but…..during this year I began to…..get used to not have mom around me. I sort of began to move on with the time," Aspik explained then Ladybug slowly walked over the bridge to stay next to Nino observing the snake-themed hero talk to the villain.
„You got to be joking right?" Hawk Moth asked feeling slightly insulted at his son's opinion. Ladybug bends down slowly, then tried to untie Nino's hands while observing the situation.
„It's your son's opinion. You know your son is as much into this scene as you are sir," Hydra explained making Hawk Moth angry and raise his arm back to recall back his cane, which he used to push Hydra across the repository making her land on the other side of the bridge at the exact moment Onyx showed up landing on the ground to spot the girl lying on the ground.
„Yi!" Onyx shouted in panic, then grabbed the girl on her arms to see she was awake and looked at the other side to see Ladybug use her yo-yo to avoid Hawk Moth to attack her. Onyx began to hiss like a cat, then ran across the bridge with his staff, catapulting himself up in the air to land on top of the supervillain, afterward he got kicked back by the man flying at the railing and grabbed himself on there.
„Run Nino! Run!" Ladybug ordered as she managed to free Nino, then Nathalie got up to run behind the boy, then Ladybug followed the assistant. Aspik got to the bridge to help Onyx up on the bridge, then both boys bowed down as Hawk Moth threw his cane against the two heroes, afterward, he recalled his cane back, then the two boys looked at each other.
„Go back with the others, I take care of Hawk Moth," Onyx commanded making Aspik shake his head.
„That's my dad, I'm the one, who has to fight him,"
„Alright, but go get your own staff," Onyx questioned watching Aspik throw his lyre against Hawk Moth which was blocked with the end of the cane.
„Ugh alright," Aspik complained running on the bridge back to encounter the others.
Nathalie arrived on the other side with Nino, then she looked back to see Ladybug and Aspik come along, then she noticed Hawk Moth was alone with Onyx. Nathalie watched the heroes stop in front of her making the woman smirk followed by the kwami appear to see the superheroes, then she looked at Nathalie worried.
„Don't worry. We'll get out of here," Nathalie assured the kwami, which glanced at the superheroes, which were glaring at the raven-haired woman. „Dusuu spread my feathers!" Nathalie shouted transforming into Mayura, then she hopped over the two superheroes to ran across the bridge making Ladybug stamp on the ground annoyed at the woman's escape, therefore, Aspik took the sword from Hydra, which sat on the ground and he followed the supervillain.
„What is he going to do?" Hydra asked getting up to met Ladybug and Nino.
„He's going to help Onyx," Ladybug responded.
„Shouldn't we run there to help?" Nino asked looking at Ladybug, which nodded.
„I'm thinking about using my lucky charm right now. Going into the fight right now would be distractful for every one of us,"
„I'm not staying here watching them try to deal with Hawk Moth on their own," Hydra commented racing at the bridge making Ladybug roll her eyes.
„Don't get that close to the fight. Wait for the moment," Ladybug ordered then threw her yo-yo up to activate her special power. „Lucky charm!"
Ladybug watched her special objects appear and land on both of her hands almost bringing her down. The object looked like a handle attached on a square form, then Ladybug looked under the form to see a black space, afterward, she passed her hand over it along with Nino and Nino discovered what it was.
„That's a hand lift magnet," Nino responded. „It's usually used by workers to lift heavy objects made of metal,"
„Okay and what are we supposed to lift with?" Ladybug asked making Nino shrug his shoulders.
Hydra jumped at Mayura trying to prevent her to approach the end of the bridge, then Mayura leaned Hydra's back on the railing trying to shake the girl off.
„You kn…..know I can….control elements?" Questioned the dragon-themed heroine, then watched Onyx get smacked back against Mayura, which felt down on top of Onyx along with Hydra. Hydra saw Hawk Moth ran towards the group and the red-dressed heroine got up taking Onyx's staff to protect the friend to deflect the attack of the man.
Onyx got up along with Mayura, then she packed Onyx to avoid him to get out for help, then she began to cough hard letting the hero go and the villain fell down on her knees while coughing hard.
„Uh are you okay?" Onyx asked curious about the current cough attack of the villain.
Hawk Moth noticed Mayura's state, then he let Hydra fall forward on the ground as she was trying to dominate the fight and Hawk Moth ran towards the superhero and pushed him away from her and tried to help her up.
„Destransform back immediately" Hawk Moth ordered. „I'm getting us out of here, I promise," Hawk Moth talked, then he saw from the end of the bridge, where Ladybug was the lift magnet fly against him hitting him on his head.
„Hey!" Hawk Moth complained making Nino laugh.
„Well done, Ladybug," Nino complimented making Ladybug smile.
Hawk Moth threw the magnet over the bridge causing it to attach to the metal bars beside the bridge, which were built over a flood of water. Ladybug began to push on her yo-yo, then got annoyed as it was hard to get it off the metal easily, then Hawk Moth watched in shock to see Aspik and Hydra come towards him making Hawk Moth feel desperate, which threw his cane against Aspik, which threw at the same moment his lyre, afterward during the aim he got hit by the cane and Hydra caught the lyre to avoid herself from getting hit. Hawk Moth looked at Nathalie, then saw one of the feathers being blown by Nathalie at Hawk Moth's miraculous surprising him at the woman still wanting to help him even though she's getting weaker.
„I'm not giving up on you, Hawk Moth," Mayura whispered making Hawk Moth look neutral at the woman's will, then behind Hawk Moth appeared a butterfly sentimonster, which the villain saw, then he looked at Mayura which nodded at him. „Go, I'll be okay," Mayura pleaded making Hawk Moth shake his head.
„I'm not leaving you behind,"
„I know you won't," Mayura commented. „Get out of here now. Please," Hawk Moth sighed, then saw Hydra and Aspik come closer and Hawk Moth used his cane to push Hydra away, afterward he threw his cane against Aspik to block him from passing and he got up on the top of the sentimonster and flew up above the repository making his way to the hole Onyx made a while ago.
„He's escaping!" Ladybug warned, which still had the miraculous object stuck on the metal bar.
Onyx grabbed the staff Hydra held in her hands, then ran over the bridge and jumped up at the sentimonster trying to reach it, then Hawk Moth summoned his cane back, which he used to punch Onyx causing him to fall back. Hydra had an idea and transformed into the wind to catch Onyx following the supervillain, then Onyx jumped against Hawk Moth landing on his back trying to bring him down of the sentimonster.
„Ah ha, got ya!" Onyx announced holding the man tight, then he activated his cataclysm making Hawk Moth wide his eyes in shock.
„You're not going to be a better person if you get rid of me with your cataclysm," Hawk Moth warned making Onyx smirk.
„Who said I would use it on you?" Onyx asked, making Hawk Moth smirk, which elbowed Onyx on his stomach afterward the sentimonster moved closer to the top and Hawk Moth pulled Onyx's hand against it causing him to destroy the roof and he threw Onyx off the sentimonster and the wind followed Onyx turning back into Hydra, which caught Onyx and landed on the metal bar near the lucky charm of Ladybug.
„You're okay?" Hydra asked earning a nod from Onyx.
„Help me remove the magnet!" Ladybug ordered watching Onyx remove the magnet with his hands, then looked at Ladybug afterward both noticed the roof above them slowly begin to fall in pieces alarming all the heroes inside the place.
„We need to get out of here!" Onyx warned earning a nod from Ladybug, which saw Onyx holding the magnet, then she had an idea and whistled to call Onyx's attention.
„Throw the magnet at Emilie's coffin!" Ladybug ordered earning a nod from the superhero, which threw the magnet against the capsule, then pulled on the thread to make sure it was tight and looked at Aspik, which stood there with Mayura, then Onyx threw his staff at Aspik and pointed at Ladybug.
„Help her up," Onyx ordered earning a nod from the snake-themed superhero, which departed to meet Ladybug and Onyx walked over the metal bar to get to the bridge followed by Hydra, then watched Aspik bring up Nino, afterward he helped Ladybug up and Aspik landed down on the ground waiting for Hydra and Onyx.
„Go on, I'll be going afterward," Onyx said watching Hydra look at the boy worried before moving on, then Onyx smiled at the girl assuring her everything would be fine, then Hydra ran into Aspik's arms, which used the baton to extend it up to get to the open hole and Onyx felt a larger piece of stone fell on his head. „Woah!" Onyx complained then looked at the capsule slowly move and Onyx ran to the coffin trying to pull it from behind and watched it slide down, then it got pulled forward slowly.
„This is going to take a little while!" Onyx warned loud, then Aspik ran towards the raven-haired superhero and tried to push the capsule over the bridge. „This is no use Aspik, we need to get her out of there," Onyx stated watching Aspik look through the buttons under the capsule then managed to open the door and he grabbed his mother and felt surprised as she seemed lighter than expected.
„Go, let's go," Onyx said running across the bridge along with Aspik, then Onyx stopped after passing over Mayura's legs, then he looked at the supervillain, which was almost k.o, then Onyx was about to move further, but he sighed and went down on his knees to take the woman on his arms and walked slowly over the bridge carrying her.
On the top at the atelier, all heroes were on the top, followed by Aspik joining with Emilie's body, which he kept holding feeling sad at the state of the woman.
„All these time you have been this time here under my house and I didn't know anything," Aspik said making Ladybug sink her head and place her hand on Aspik's shoulder.
„I'm sorry for this, but Luka is right now going behind Hawk Moth and he will have stopped Hawk Moth for sure," Ladybug assured, then at the entrance appeared Sting the bee miraculous holder, which stepped one step into the atelier.
„I have good and bad news," Sting announced. „Good news is the police is here and a helicopter is following Hawk Moth and the bad one was that I lost him," Sting said making Aspik nod.
„Thanks Luka," Aspik said making Sting wide his eyes as he saw Adrien's mom in his arms.
„Is she alive?" Sting asked stepping forward, then the floor began to fall apart and Sting jumped back at the corridor, while Aspik extended the baton to hold himself tight on the staff and Ladybug jumped at the staff too, while Hydra hung over the Ladybug's leg.
„Wait a second. Where's Onyx?" Hydra asked making Aspik wide his eyes and look down at the floor falling apart crashing onto the bridge and the water in the repository.
„Uh I think he's down there," Aspik answered smiling abashedly at his mistake.
„Where exactly?" Hydra asked and Ladybug threw Hydra at Sting which caught her, then Ladybug followed afterward and tried to pull on her yo-yo to get her magnet back, but she couldn't pull hard enough. Luka's alter ego assisted her, but both couldn't pull it.
„Where did you yo-yo get stuck?" Sting asked, then he looked at Hydra looking down at the darkness, then heard someone whistle and she noticed that it was Aspik who balanced on the staff and jumped at the heroine, which along with Sting caught the two Agreste's to prevent them to fall into the hole.
„Are there medics on the outside?" Aspik asked making Sting shrug his shoulders.
„There is one," Sting answered earning a nod from Aspik, which looked at Hydra gazing into the darkness, then she bowed down and called for her friend.
„Onyx!" Hydra shouted. „Can you hear me?!" The question echoes into the shallow waiting for an answer, which didn't come. „You promised me you would come back! "
Ladybug sank her head down believing Onyx wasn't conscious at the moment, then placed her hand on Hydra's shoulder.
„He is going to make out of it, right?" Hydra asked gazing up sad at the bug-themed heroine making Ladybug look down at the darkness, then Aspik shrugged his shoulder and looked at Sting, which sighed and approached Hydra. Before he started to speak he noticed Hydra's aqua transformation wasn't used yet and he glanced down at the dark area having an idea.
„Wait a second. Are you able to use your water power to get up here?" Sting asked. „Maybe you're able to bring Onyx up here, so he can get medical help?"
Hydra looked down at the ground, then she frowned and jumped down into the hole landing on a broken piece of cement squinting her eyes trying to see into the dark. Hydra went to the bridge, then began to see all the pieces over the grid of the bridge and crossed it looking around to see if she could find her childhood friend anywhere.
„Jin? Please answer me," Hydra called watching all over the place hoping to encounter him, then she noticed Ladybug's yo-yo and the heroine ran to the capsule, where the yo-yo was attached on and Hydra shut her eyes wide as she encountered Onyx lying over Nathalie Sancoeur's head with his eyes closed and a part of the roof lying on top of his head.
„Jin!" Hydra shouted getting down on her knees to pull the stone off his head, then she recognized the boy had tried to protect the villain from getting hurt in her civilian form and Hydra grabbed Onyx from under his arms leaning him on the capsule, then lied her head on his chest and began to cry as she noticed the boy's heart was still beating signaling her, that he was alive. „You're alive," Hydra whispered hugging the boy tight, then she looked at the yo-yo that was attached to the capsule and glanced down at the river beside her, then she had an idea and tried to pull Onyx into the capsule. After she had got the friend into the capsule she lifted Nathalie up, which opened her eyes slowly to see the heroine helping her into the capsule.
„Why are you two helping me?" Nathalie asked watching Hydra ponder about the woman's question, then she heard Ladybug call for the superheroine and looked up to see Ladybug's head.
„I'm coming," Warned the dragon-themed superheroine assisting the villain to get into the capsule and Hydra took now the chance to use her last element to turn into water and flood the entire room to lead the capsule up to the ground floor.
Ladybug noticed the thread of her yo-yo move down, then Ladybug observed the water raise and smiled seeing her yo-yo come back afterward she encountered the capsule with Onyx sitting in there along with a half-tired Nathalie and the water flushed the capsule into the hall of the building squinting a little at the heroes and the inmates of the capsule. Hydra materialized herself back into her human form, then watched Onyx get back into his conscious and stand up looking at Hydra and Ladybug, which gazed at him relieved to see he was alive.
„Jin!" Yi cried embracing the superhero, which got surprised at the girl's deed, then wrapped his arms around her lying his chin over her head smiling at their reunion.
„Thank goodness," Ladybug commented relieved, then heard the door get kicked up to see two police agents enter into the building spotting the heroes all in the hall, then they took down their guns and walked to Aspik, which held his mother in his arms, then slowly passed her to the agents. The first policeman took out his walkie talkie turning it on to inform the unit about his finding.
„Agent Furtado reporting. The heroes found the body of Emilie Agreste, the actress, that has been missing for around a year….We'll be carrying her out immediately to the ambulance," The redhead announced taking the woman, then got out on the stairs to encounter a third agent, which helped the first policeman. Aspik watched the mother being taken away, then he leaned his back on the capsule covering his face breaking down into tears making Sting and Ladybug sad, which embraced the superhero giving him comfort.
Onyx and Hydra helped Nathalie out of the capsule, then Nathalie lost her balance onto Onyx's arm, then he tried to keep her up and the policeman took Nathalie by the other arm watching the cat superhero remove his arm.
„Don't worry. We will take her to the hospital for a check-up," The policeman warned earning a smile from Onyx, which exchanged looks with Hydra.
„Why did you get back to save her?" Hydra asked making Onyx shrug his shoulders.
„I couldn't let her back knowing she would have died like this," Responded the raven-haired hero. „No matter how terrible she or Hawk Moth were. They don't deserve to be punished with death,"
„I believe you did the right thing," Hydra mentioned placing her hand on Onyx's cheek. „I'm glad to know I have you back,"
„I promised you I would never leave you back," Onyx commented taking Hydra's hand to give her a kiss on it. Hydra smiled at Onyx, then the cat miraculous ring began to blink and destransformed the superhero back into Jin making Yi smile enchanted at seeing his childhood friend in his civilian self.
„You know you would not look bad if you keep your hair the same way you have it as Onyx," Hydra stated making Jin chuckle, then Ladybug looked back and got surprised at seeing Onyx's civilian self for the first time and smiled as she began to understand why both heroes seemed to get along very well.
„Great job, Jin," Ladybug commented crossing her arms with pride seeing her friend hug the short girl for affection. Ladybug removed the magnet of the capsule, then threw it up in the air to summon the healing light by shouting the activation phrase.
„Miraculous Ladybug!"
