Welcome back, hope you enjoy chapter 3. Now, in the last chapter, I mentioned how this fic will be canon with Season 2, but will ignore Season 3, however, I might change my mind on that, depending on how the rest of Season 3 goes.

Hope you enjoy.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Miraculous Ladybug

It was Saturday morning when Marinette entered Fu's massage shop, the had told him about Rosethorne and about Nightwolf.

"The Wolf Miraculous?" asked Master Fu

"Yes, but how is that possible? There couldn't be more Miraculous, there's no more room in the Miracle Box, and there was no mention of it in the Grimoire" said Marinette

"That's because the Wolf Miraculous was long thought destroyed, before the book was written" said Master Fu

"Destroyed?"

"Yes, Marinette, when the Miraculous were created, there were some Kwamis that were corrupt, they were too dangerous and their Miraculous were destroyed, or so I thought" said Master Fu

"Oh, now I remember, the Wolf Miraculous is inhabited by Howll, the Kwami of Intuition" said Tikki

"But if Nightwolf's Kwami is corrupt, wouldn't that mean Nightwolf is a villain?" asked Marinette

"Not necessarily, remember, Nooroo is not corrupt, but Hawkmoth uses him for villainy, same with Duusu and Mayura, it's not the Kwamis in control, it's the user, Howll may be corrupt, but that doesn't mean Nightwolf will be too" said Master Fu

"Tikki, who were the other corrupt Kwamis?" asked Marinette

"I can't remember, all I know is that it's something best forgotten, at least, for now" said Tikki

"Marinette, next time you encounter Nightwolf, you must bring him here, I must speak with him" said Master Fu

"But how? I can't come here as Ladybug, and I can't let him see me as Marinette"

"You CAN come here as Ladybug, if you're not squeamish" said Master Fu

"Huh?" asked Marinette

==Agreste Manor, Later that Day==

Gabriel Agreste was in his atelier when Nathalie entered.

"Sir, Adrien just called, he just finished his fencing lesson, but there is some traffic, so he will be late returning home" said Nathalie

Gabriel gave no response.

"Uh, sir?"

"Why?" asked Gabriel

"Why what, sir?" asked Nathalie

"Why does nothing work? No matter what I try, Ladybug and Cat Noir are always able to overcome the odds, them an their allies, along with this new guy, Nightwolf, what am I doing wrong?" asked Gabriel

"Fear not, sir, you'll get another chance" said Nathalie

At that point, felt something on his chest, he removed his scarf to show the butterfly miraculous glowing.

"Yes, I will" said Gabriel

==Hawkmoth's Lair==

"I sense a strong emotion, a perfect candidate for my akumas" said Hawkmoth

A white butterfly flew into Hawkmoth's hand, he covered it with his other hand as it was engulfed in a dark energy, turning it black and purple.

"Go forth, my evil akuma, and evilize him" said Hawkmoth

==The Louvre==

Marinette, Adrien and Alya were at the Louvre together for a school project, they were asked to select a piece of art within the Louvre and write a report on the history of it.

"Maybe we should go with the Mona Lisa" said Alya

"No, the Mona Lisa is too obvious" said Marinette

"Yeah, let's go for something a bit more obscure" said Adrien

The group's conversation was interrupted when they heard screaming down the hall, they looked to see a man wearing an orange bodysuit with white designs on the shoudlers, hands and down the legs, with glowing white eyes and a black belt. He was destroying the displays.

"An akuma? Now?" asked Marinette

"I've gotta get this for the Ladyblog" said Alya, taking out her phone

"I think a better idea would be to hide" said Adrien

The group rushed to find somewhere to hide, but Marinette slipped away to get to a nearby broom closet and take Tikki out of her purse.

"Time to transform..." said Marinette

"TIKKI! SPOTS ON!"

Marinette brushed her hair out of the way as Tikki flew into Marinette's earring. Both of Marinette's earrings turned red and 5 black spots donned the surface of the earrings.

Marinette covered her eyes before moving her hands away to afix her mask.

Marinette stretched out one arm as a bright pink light pasted Marinette's suit onto her.

Marinette's Yo-Yo materialized around Marinette's waist.

With a little dance and a high kick, Marinette posed as her transformation into Ladybug was complete.

Meanwhile, Adrien reached the Pharoh Exhibit when he noticed Alya and Marinette weren't with him.

"Where are the girls?" asked Plagg, from Adrien's pocket

"Alya must have stayed behind to get footage for the Ladyblog" said Adrien

"And Marinette?"

"She probably found somewhere else to hide" said Adrien

Adrien looked around, making sure he wouldn't be seen.

"Time to transform..."

"PLAGG! CLAWS OUT!"

Adrien's ring changed from silver to black before Plagg flew into the ring as a green pawprint appeared on the ring. Adrien shot his hand above his head.

Adrien waved his hand infront of his face as his mask materialized, before running his hands over his hair, forming his cat ears.

Adrien spread his arms as his catsuit manifested from the center of his chest to his hands and feet. Adrien's belt and Bo Staff also materialized around his waist.

After performing 2 scratch taunts, Adrien posed as his transformation into Cat Noir was complete.

The akumatized villain continued to destroy the displays and the artworks. He reached for the Mona Lisa when a yo-yo wrapped around his wrist.

"Keep away from the painting" said Ladybug

"Ah, Ladybug, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Eccho" said the akuma

"Any reason for the artistic vandelism?" asked Ladybug

"A very simple reason, Ladybug, karma" said Eccho

Eccho pulled back his arm, pulling Ladybug closer to him and allowing her to knock her back with a punch.

"Didn't your mother tell you never to hit a lady?" asked Cat Noir, before dropkicking Eccho

"Lovely timing, kitty" said Ladybug, sarcastically

"Lovely seeing you, Milady, as always" said Cat Noir, helping Ladybug back to her feet

As Eccho stood up, he started laughing.

"What's so funny?" asked Ladybug

"It's good that you two got here so quickly, now I don't have to waste time taking your miraculous for Hawkmoth" said Eccho

"There is no way you're taking our miraculous" said Cat Noir

"I believe I will, after all, there's no way you two can win" said Eccho

"How? It's 2 against 1" said Cat Noir

"Numbers can be deceiving" said Eccho

Eccho ran off and ran behind a wall.

"And so can I" said Eccho, now appearing behind Ladybug and Cat Noir, before running off

"How did he do that?" asked Cat Noir

"I don't know, but let's catch him" said Ladybug

==Meanwhile==

Zach Petiot was in his bedroom, Howll was sitting on Zach's desk, eating small pieces of meat.

"How does such a little guy eat so much?" asked Zach

"Hey, I've seen you eat more than me" said Howll

"I'm still growing" said Zach

The actor and his kwami shared a laugh, before being interrupted by a news report on the TV.

"Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Nadja Chamack here to report an attack on the Louvre, sources report that Ladybug and Cat Noir are already on the scene" said Nadja

"Hawkmoth's akuma?" asked Howll

"I'd bet so" said Zach

Zach removed his bracer, revealing the bracelet underneath.

"HOWLL! FULL MOON RISE!"

Howll flew into Zach's bracelet. His Gauntlet formed on his other arm.

Zach snapped his fingers infront of his face as his mask materialized.

Zach ran his fingers through his hair, causing his black, spiked hair to develop purple highlights and a set of wolf ears to form on his head.

Zach raised his right arm above his head and extened the retractable claws in his Gauntlet, before driving the blades into the ground as his suit formed on his body.

Zach waved his arms infront of his waist as his belt materialized.

Zach posed as his transformation into Nightwolf was complete.

Nightwolf rushed to the roof of his house and started running along the rooftops to get to the Louvre. On the way, he was spotted by Officer Raincomprix, who was across the street.

"Hey, you're that new hero that witnesses saw during that plant akuma incident" said Officer Raincomprix

"Yes, I am, my name's Nightwolf"

"You heading off to stop the akuma?" asked Roger

"Yes sir, I'm on my way to the Louvre right now" said Nightwolf

"No, the akuma's at the bank" said Roger

"The bank?"

==The Louvre==

Ladybug and Cat Noir chased Eccho, until the akumatized villain ran into a broom closet and closed the door behind them.

"He's trapped in there, there's no way..." said Cat Noir

Ladybug opened the door, but Eccho had disappeared.

"...out?" asked Cat Noir

"Looking for me?"

Ladybug and Cat Noir turned around to see Eccho on the other side of the room, before he ran off.

"His power must be teleportation" said Cat Noir

"Maybe" said Ladybug

"It's not"

Ladybug and Cat Noir looked up to see their newest ally drop from the ceiling.

"Nice to see you again, Nightwolf" said Cat Noir

"You too, anyway, this guys power isn't teleportation, it's duplication" said Nightwolf

"How do you know that?" asked Cat Noir

"On my way over here, I ran into Officer Roger, he said the akuma was also spotted at a bank a few streets away, I went there, destroyed the belt they were wearing and he vanished in a puff of smoke" said Nightwolf

"So the akuma is in his belt, but we have to destroy the original" said Ladybug

"Oh, just like with the Sapotis" said Cat Noir

"With the what?" asked Nightwolf

"Long story" said Ladybug

As the trio were talking, several of Eccho's clones approached. They tried to attack the heroes, but the heroes were able to destroy their belts, getting rid of the clones.

"Any way of finding out which one's the original?" asked Cat Noir

"None that I can think of" said Ladybug

The heroes heard screams coming from outside and rushed to the source, finding more of Eccho's clones outside causing panic.

"That's alot of Ecchos" said Nightwolf

"It's enough for an army" said Cat Noir

Several of Eccho's clones attempted to attack the trio, but only had their belts destroyed.

"Don't you see?" asked one of the Ecchos

"It doesn't matter how many of me you defeat" said another Eccho

"Because I can just make more" said a third Eccho, before pressing a button on his belt buckle and another clone appeared

"And more" said a fourth Eccho, creating another clone

"And more" said a fifth Eccho, creating another clone

One of the Eccho clones charged towards the trio, Nightwolf knocked them into the water fountain, before grabbing and breaking their belt.

"Aw man" said one of the other Ecchos

Ladybug looked and noticed that one of the other Ecchos was now dripping wet. More clones tried to attack, but the heroes were continuously able to avoid the attacks and destroy the belts.

"There's too many of them" said Nightwolf

"How are we going to determine the original?" asked Cat Noir

"Only one thing to do..." said Ladybug

"LUCKY CHARM!"

Ladybug flung her Yo-Yo high into the air. Energy shot out from the yo-yo before creating a Spray Paint Can.

"Spray Paint?" asked Ladybug

"Well, we ARE at an art museum" said Nightwolf

Ladybug observed her surroundings, seeing the spray paint can, the water fountain and the army of Ecchos surrounding them.

"I think I have an idea"

As one of the Eccho clones charged towards the heroes, Ladybug used the spray paint can and stained part of their outfit, before quickly ripping off their belt and breaking it, getting rid of the duplicate. Ladybug looked around and saw the same paint stain now on one of the other Ecchos.

"It worked" said Ladybug

"What worked?" asked Nightwolf

"Focus on the Eccho with the stained suit, that's the original" said Ladybug

"Got it"

Nightwolf charged towards the original Eccho and took a swing at him.

"Cat Noir, get his belt" said Ladybug

"On it, milady..." said Cat Noir

"CATACLYSM!"

Cat Noir raised his hand above his head as his hand was infused with negative energy.

Cat Noir charged towards the original Eccho and grabbed his belt, causing it to disintegrate, before the akuma flew out

"No more evil doing for you, little akuma" said Ladybug as she opened her yo-yo

"Time to de-evilize!"

Ladybug captured the purple akuma in her yo-yo.

"Gotcha!"

Ladybug released the akuma, now pruified into a white butterfly.

"Bye-bye, little butterfly" said Ladybug, before throwing the Lucky Charm into the air.

"MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!"

An explosion of pink energy dispersed into a swarm of ladybugs that flew around the museum, repairing all the damage caused by Eccho, and reverting him to a normal man in a business suit.

"Huh, what happened?" asked the man

"Pound It!" said the trio of heroes, fist bumping over a job well done

"That was clever, Ladybug, how did you know that would work?" asked Nightwolf

"When I noticed the original Eccho getting wet when one of his clones fell into the water fountain, I realised that the state of the clones must have affected the original" said Ladybug

"Very smart, milady" said Cat Noir

"Yes, well, it's been a long day, so I'm gonna head home" said Nightwolf

Nightwolf turned to leave, only for Ladybug to grab his wrist.

"Huh?"

"I need to talk to you about something first" said Ladybug

"What is it?" asked Nightwolf

Ladybug was about to answer when her earrings started beeping.

"Looks like I don't have enough time, meet me back here tonight at 11" said Ladybug

"Uh...okay" said Nightwolf

Ladybug used her Yo-Yo to swing away.

"What was with that?" asked Cat Noir

"I don't know" said Nightwolf

==Later that Night==

Nightwolf waited on the roof of the Louvre Palace for Ladybug. Eventually, she arrived.

"Aw, good, I was worried you wouldn't turn up" said Nightwolf

"This is to important to ignore, by the way, did you find out what was with Eccho?" asked Ladybug

"Yeah, turns out he was a Louvre employee who was fired for being late too many times, he also was stressed because he always had a busy schedule" said Nightwolf

"So, I guess it was a case of can't be in 2 places at once, so Hawkmoth gave him the power to be everywhere at the same time" said Ladybug

"So, what did you want to talk about?" asked Nightwolf

"Follow me" said Ladybug

Ladybug led Nightwolf to the Eiffel tower and opened a hidden trap door on the ground.

"How did you know about that?" asked Nightwolf

"A friend showed me" said Ladybug

Ladybug jumped into the trap door and Nightwolf followed, before closing the trap door, Ladybug picked up a flashlight that had been left behind and Nightwolf noticed where they were.

"Are we in the catacombs?" asked Nightwolf

"Yes, now, follow me" said Ladybug

Ladybug led Nightwolf through the catacombs, before later stopping.

"Why have we stopped?" asked Nightwolf

Ladybug threw her yo-yo up at the ceiling, before another trap door opened.

"Ah, Ladybug, you made it" said someone

Ladybug jumped out of the hole and Nightwolf followed, noticing he was in a small room with Chinese decor. Ladybug gestured towards an elderly man wearing a red Hawaiian shirt.

"Nightwolf, meet Master Wang Fu, the last known member of the Order of the Guardians" said Ladybug

"Greetings Nightwolf, it is nice to meet you" said Master Fu

"What is going on here?" asked Nightwolf

"If you don't mind, I would like to ask you and your kwami some questions"

Hope you enjoyed, let me know what you think.
