"So you two can talk to animals? How did you learn to speak English?" Alya asked.
"I guess it was deep within our human instincts. Or maybe our guardian felines can talk regularly" Cat Noir shrugged.
"And they give you names?" Nino asked.
"Yes, we don't remember our real names," Ladybug said.
"I don't know mine but that man called me Adrien," Cat Noir said.
"Yes, since he had a son named Adrien," Nino said.
Cat Noir took out the photo and looked at it, "Plagg told me that my mother built a treehouse in the jungle but she was killed by a lion. I was saved and raised in the jungle. I have a life in the jungle"
"Wow, interesting story," Nino said.
"Yeah, but sadly, I don't know about your world" Cat Noir climbs up the tree to grab the bananas and came back down.
"We're from Paris in France," Alya said.
"That picture you showed is of that pointy metal mountain thing?" Ladybug asked.
"That's the Eiffel tower, built during the late 19th century," Alya said.
But unfortunately, the wild teens just stood there in confusion while eating their bananas.
"Well, it was originally for a contest but it was decided to keep it" Alya continued.
"Oh, okay," The wild teens said at the same time.
"Yeah. You're gonna love Paris" Alya said.
"Um, that's nice but we love the jungle" Ladybug said and ate her banana.
"Alright. Well, it shouldn't be far enough to the volcano" Alya saw the volcano standing a mile away.
"Good. Let's keep going" Nino said.
Cat Noir can sense someone is following them but decided to lay low for a while. He doesn't to alarm his friends.
"Well milady, are you excited for our adventure?" He asked his Bugaboo.
"Indeed I am, kitty cat," Ladybug said.
They finally reached the dormant volcano and they found a cave that was maybe a lava tube. Too dangerous for visitors to go in but not for the wild teens.
"I think it's safe if you two wait out here," Ladybug said.
"But what if something happens to you?" Alya asked.
"We faced a lot of dangerous things all the time. If something goes wrong, head back to camp" Cat Noir said.
"Okay. But be careful Dude" Nino said.
They walked into the cave and from there they see beautiful diamonds on the walls.
"It's beautiful," Ladybug said.
"Meow, I think I'm in love with this" Cat Noir purred.
"Yeah, my Kitty" Ladybug picks up one diamond.
"Meow" Cat Noir picked the emerald.
"Okay, let's focus. Who knows what's in the volcano? She's sleeping" Ladybug said.
"Yeah, we can't let my father awaken it," Cat Noir said.
"What if we are wrong about him?" Ladybug said.
"That's what we're gonna find out," Cat Noir said.
They kept walking in the tunnel until they reached the chamber. Statues of the panther and the leopard, one for creation and the other for destruction. One was the red and black gem and the other the black and green one. The paintings on the wall were like how it was like before in history. Some were the previous cat and ladybug heroes of the jungle, including the one Cat Noir, got his mask from.
"Incredible" Ladybug looks around.
"Meow" Cat Noir meowed.
"Tikki wasn't kidding," Ladybug said, observing the paintings.
"Yeah, the balance here is important," Cat Noir said.
"Like Yin and Yang," Ladybug said.
"You learned from the camp?" Cat Noir guessed.
"I did" Ladybug replied.
"Whoa!" Cat Noir stepped into a trap.
"Kitty watch out!" Ladybug tackled him out of the way.
"Thanks, milady" Cat Noir thanked her, but realized she's on top of him, "Um, perhaps we should get up?" He blushed.
"Yeah" They both got up.
"Man, what was that?" Cat Noir shook his hair.
"Hidden traps," Ladybug said.
"This volcano is filled with traps?" Cat Noir asked.
"It appears so" Ladybug replied.
"But isn't she supposed to be sleeping?" Cat Noir asked.
"Yeah, but I take it these traps are to prevent anyone from getting the gems," Ladybug said.
"Possibly but we gotta get them before him. We can't let the world go into chaos. I don't know if he's crazy but he seems very cold" Cat Noir said.
"Wherever he is, keep your guard up," Ladybug said.
"I fight like a big cat, milady. I fought a lion before" Cat Noir said, walking carefully to the entrance where the statues are.
"Well, things are gonna get ugly someday," Ladybug said as they walked to the entrance and saw giant crystals but it was like they see reflected images of their forgotten memories of their parents.
"Mom" Cat Noir noticed an image of his mother.
He saw that his mother had an argument with his father about giving Adrien away and keeping Felix but his mother refused and decided to leave her husband and take her son with her.
"Cat Noir? You okay?" Ladybug noticed him looking, but then saw images of her family.
They were on a boat in a terrible storm at the ocean and her parents couldn't do anything but save their daughter by putting her in a box crate where the dolphins saved her but her parents were gone.
Tearfully, Ladybug placed her hand on the crystal, "My parents are gone"
"Milady" Cat Noir hugs her to comfort her.
"They….saved me. But they couldn't save themselves" Ladybug sobs.
"I'm so sorry about that" Cat Noir said.
"I never got to see them again" Ladybug buries her face on his chest.
"Our parents saved us, milady. My mom saved me and so did your parents" Cat Noir said.
"Yeah. What did you see?" Ladybug then asked.
"I saw why my mother left my father," Cat Noir said.
"I kind of only saw a peek of it," Ladybug said.
"He wanted to get rid of me," Cat Noir said.
"What? Why?" Ladybug asked.
"Come, let me show you" Cat Noir brought her to the crystal he saw his parents argue.
"No! I won't give up Adrien! He's our son!" Emilie argued with Gabriel in the crystal.
"The Agreste family requires one child, Emilie. Twins don't count!" Gabriel argued.
"You're insane! I'm not getting rid of Adrien!" Emilie scolded him, "I can't believe you only care about your way of the family. I'm taking Adrien with me and I'm never coming back here!" Emilie takes Adrien with her, "You're not the man I love!"
"Emilie! COME BACK!" Gabriel screamed and the vision changed to her escaping with Baby Adrien.
"He really was a monster, wanting to sell me out," Cat Noir said.
