Our chapter begins during a rainy morning, in the class of Zoology, everyone are studying a lesson about predators (some of them are even extinct species). Some students which is mainly the Miraculous heroes and their civilian identity focuses on the lesssons while other students which is mainly Les Enfants Terribles are plotting against the Miraculous heroes to humiliate them, then it's lunch time. Then it's Social Economics where the students makes food and recipes, this time it's smoothies using fruits.
After class, Kagami and Korra asks Sam to help them with training Zeraora and Lucario, Sam accepts and meets the girls in the park.
Outside in the park, while there was no more rain, the ground was muddy and sticky.
"Ready, Kagami," Korra shouted while Lucario got into a fighting stance.
"Depends on if you both are prepared to give us your best," Kagami commented back while Zeraora grinned, gesturing for Lucario to bring it on.
Korra grinned, saying, "You've got it! Lucario, aura sphere"!
Lucario forked an aura sphere and shot it towards Zeraora.
Zeraora jumped forward, flipping to dodge.
"Zeraora, on defense," Kagami called out since sge didn't know what moves Zeraora knew.
Zeraora let out a roar as it's claws glowed and grew in length, signifying a Slash attack, as it tried to swipe at Lucario, who quickly used its reflexes to dodge each strike.
"Wow! Looks like Zeraora knows slash," Korra commented, impressed.
Kagami was impressed as well, saying, "Well, you haven't seen nothing yet. Zeraora, become one with your electricity and strike like the blow of a fencing sword"!
Zeraora grinned and summoned up a thunder punch, striking Lucario in its chest. Lucario got pushed back, grinning in determination as it respected the electric cat's strength.
Korra replied, "Cool move! We'll just have to strike back twice as hard! Lucario, bone rush"!
Lucario formed two glowing bones and spun them around, hitting Zeraora head on like if the bones were staffs.
Zeraora took the hits head on before stopping the last strike by grabbing both bones, causing it and Lucario to be at a stalemate.
Meanwhile in Hawk Moth's lair :
"It will be a matter of time before I find a new prey for my akuma..." Said Hawk Moth while transforming a butterfly into an akuma.
"Fly away, little akuma, and find another worthy prey !" Said Hawk Moth as the akuma flies away to find a perfect prey to akumatize.
Meanwhile in the Park :
"Aura Sphere," Korra shouted, as Lucario formed an aura sphere and fired it at Zeraora.
"Become one with your electricity and strike back," Kagami declared as Zeraora formed a plasma fist in its paws and fired it, intercepting the aura sphere, canceling both moves out.
The force of both moves canceling out caused both Zeraora and Lucario to stagger back, but stand their ground, while Korra wheeled backwards since she was on skates, and tripped over a rock, falling backwards.
"Korra !" Kagami called out in concern, while running to her cousin, with Zeraora and Lucario following her.
"Are you ok ?" Sam asked while running to his childhood friend
Lucario quickly leaped in and helped Korra back to her feet, with Korra saying, "I'm good. Takes more than a silly old rock to keep me down."
While both cousins and their Pokemon, and Sam, were laughing, Tomoe was watching this through the window of her car which she used to secretly follow them, and was furious!
"My own daughter and niece! Defying against my wishes yet again, and intermingling with that meddlesome boy, Sam Noctis! I oughta teach them a lesson in obeying elders"! Vowed Tomoe furiously.
A familiar dark purple butterfly flew into the car, and Tomoe felt Hawkmoth's presence around her.
"Ikari Gozen, I am Hawk Moth. I'm giving you the power to once again show everyone who truly is the strongest of power around, and you'll be able to use that power to teach your own family what it means to face the consequences of going against you. Of course, I will need you to bring me the Miraculous of the Ladybug, Cat, and Wolf, as well as all the other Miraculouses in exchange." Said Hawk Moth through telepathy.
"I shall not dishonor you again, Hawk Moth," Tomoe replied before she became akumatized into Ikari Gozen once again.
Back with Kagami, Sam, and Korra, they were ready to resume training again when they heard a loud shout of fury and looked up, gasping when they saw Ikari Gozen.
"Oh no! Mother, not again." Kagami commented, stepping back fearfully.
"What happened to Aunt Tomoe ?" Korra asked worryingly.
"Looks like Hawk Moth got to her." Sam commented defensively.
"I am Ikari Gozen! And you both, Kagami-san and Korra-san, have disrespected me again for the last time, as for you, Sam Noctis, this will be the last time you will be a bad influence around my own daughter and niece !" Ikari Gozen shouted before swinging her sword at the girls and Pokemon, the group jumping out of the way.
"Quick! Split up." Sam shouted as the group split so they could try to confuse the akumatized villain.
"Zeraora, try to block my mother's sword with slash," Kagami commanded.
Zeraora nodded and leaped up, making its claws go as it tried to intercept a sword swipe with slash, but Ikari Gozen overpowered it and sent Zeraora to the ground, crashing hard. The electric cat was still standing, but grimaced a bit from exhaustion.
Korra and Lucario saw this, with Korra telling Lucario, "Lucario try and use Extreme Speed to get Ikari Gozen to wear herself out."
Lucario nodded and glowed green as it used Extreme Speed, running around at a very fast speed, making it hard for the villain to track it. Ikari Gozen furiously kept trying to swipe her sword at it, but kept missing.
Unfortunately, the sword onslaught was also creating a lot of whirlwind, making it hard for the humans to keep their grip on the ground.
Then, one faulty sword swipe knocked Korra on her side, knocking her into Kagami, both girls crashing into a rock hard.
Lucario saw what happened and turned its head, gasping in surprise when it saw its master and her cousin hurt.
"Kagami! Korra! Are you both hurt ?" Sam asked while running up to them.
Kagami winced while holding her right wrist, "It appears I've sprained my wrist."
Korra hissed in pain while holding her side, saying, "My side hurts really bad."
Sam looked and saw that she didn't get cut luckily, but the sword swing did leave a hole in her outfit and a bad bruise on her hip.
Lucario saw too, and felt utter guilt that it couldn't have jumped in to save Korra and Kagami in time. It was all his fault, it was all his fault, it was- no...it wasn't his fault. It was Ikari Gozen's fault! and no villain was gone ever hurt his family! No one!
When Ikari Gozen tried to swipe at Lucario again, something very shocking happened: Lucario caught the blade with his bare paws, and stopped Ikari Goxen dead cold. Its entire body was glowing blue from its aura, and Lucario looked livid.
Sam, Kagami, Korra, and Zeraora were shocked to see Lucario like this.
"Lu...Lucario," Korra asked in concern.
Lucario didn't seem to hear as it pushed Ikari Goxen back with tremendous strength, making the villain stumble back, as Lucario then jumped at Sam with lightning speed and grabbed his wolf miraculous right off of him.
"Lucario! what are you doing ?" Sam asked, trying to reach for his miraculous, but Lucario jumped away and ran off before Sam could even get it back.
"Lucario took your Miraculous, Sam !" Kagami shouted.
"What's going on with Lucario? He's never done this before," Korra commented worryingly.
"We have to get it back before Lucario does something bad," Sam declared as he, Kagami, Korra, and Zeraora went after Lucario.
Lucario found a quiet place on top of one of the roofs of the buildings and placed the wolf miraculous on, with Faang coming out while saying, "Lucario, what are you doing? Why did you ake me from Sam"?
Lucario grunted something in anger before saying, in Pokemon language, "Rah, Lu car car"! (Faang, teeth out!)
Faang was helplessly pulled into the miraculous as Lucario transformed, developing a long grey mask with gold lens over his eyes, a long grey wolf muzzle over his own muzzle, his ears became long and pointed, with grey fur sticking out from inside his ears, and he developed a dark grey/light grey bodysuit, with black wolf paw boxing gloves with yellow claws at the tips of the fingers, a black cape, his tail becoming grey, thick, and furry, and a long blue bowstaff appeared as his weapon.
Lucario wasn't Lucario anymore, he was Cane-Night.
Ikari Gozen was hunting for Sam. Kagami, and Korra, but then, saw a masked wolf-themed hero staring her down, making her aks, "Who are you, foolish hero"?
Cane-Night didn't say anything, as he tried to unleash a Howl of the Moon, but because he had never done something like this before, the strength and power of Howl of the Moon overwhelmed the masked Pokemon, making him lose control of it and, while hitting Ikari Gozen a bit, also hit a few buildings and wrecked them horrendously.
"This is not good, we lost Lucario and without Faang, I can't transform !" Said Sam worringly.
"Calm down, Sam, we'll find a solution to all of this !" Said Korra towards her childhood friend.
"There has to be a way to find Lucario and Sam's Kwaami..." Thought Kagami until the 3 heroes found Lucario causing damage due to the strength of the Howl of the Moon that Lucario try to master and some buildings wrecked.
"There it is !" Said Kagami much to their worries, Lucario tries again Howl of the Moon but due to being unable to master it keep doing damages to nearby buildings.
"I'll try to convince Lucario to give me back my Kwaami, Korra, Kagami, find Marinette and the rest of the team and tells them about the situation". Said Sam, the two girls nods towards Sam before meeting up with the rest of the team.
Some heroes of the team tries to fight Ikari Gozen but they are accidentally knocked out by Cane-Night which allows Ikari Gozen to take their Miraculous.
"You're not totally useless for a foolish hero, thanks to you, Cane-Night, I have now the Cat, Fox, Turtle, Spider, Bee, Snake, Tiger, Monkey, Horse, Rabbit, Pig, Goat, Rooster, Dog and Raccoon Miraculous. It will be only a matter of time before I get the rest." Said Ikari Gozen while smirking at her Miraculous.
"Magnificent, Ikari Gozen, you found the Cat Miraculous, it will be only a matter before Ladybug, Silver Claw and the rest of those pathetic heroes arrives." Said Hawk Moth with satisfaction while laughing evilly.
Meanwhile with Kagami and Korra :
"We got a huge problem everyone ! Lucario has gone with Sam's Kwaami, my aunt who's also Kagami's mother has been akumatized and Sam, he said he wanted to go after Lucario". Explained Korra panicked.
"All right, then, we know what to do !" Said Marinette and our heroes nods.
Tikki Spots on !
Lonng, Bring the storm !
Mullo, Get squeaky !
Stompp, Make way !
Go-Glow, Let's Shine !
Sparky, let's spark !
Meanwhile with Sam :
Sam was trying to think of what he could do, before he remembered something he read about in a comic book about Silver Claw a long time ago
Flashback to a long time ago
6 year old Sam was reading a comic about Silver Claw, and saw a quote Silver Claw was saying that he thought was cool.
"If a villain hurts something you cherish most, don't let anger cloud your judgment and mind. The best way to fight back with all the strength you need, is with the power and mind to be in control of your anger and your emotions. Let how you're feeling fuel you to strive as a better person, not to act out in revenge," Silver Claw said in the comic.
"Ooh," 6 year old Sam said while reading the comic page.
End of flashback
Sam remembered that moment and got an idea on how he could help Lucario.
Sam approached Cane-Night, who reeled back after another unwary outburst of Howl of the Moon.
"Cane-Night! Cease what you're doing," Sam shouted, hoping to get its attention.
Cane-Night turned around and growled at Sam, not in anger, but because it felt frustrated Sam was "preventing" it from "Exacting justice" where it was needed.
Sam didn't cower in fear or show any hesitation as he calmly said, "Listen, I know how you're feeling: you're upset with what ikari Gozen did to your friends. You're upset she had hurt Korra and Kagami. But you're not the only one who's upset; I am too."
Cane-Night's eyes seemed to widen a bit, as the masked Pokemon stood and listened.
Sam continued with, "You want to protect those you love. That's my dream too, I want to help make sure our friends and family don't get hurt either, but lashing out because of a villain striking us in a personal spot isn't the way. Sometimes, people will act harsh to one another, and try to hurt those you love, but if you really want to protect someone, all the power you'll ever need is the power to show compassion and loyalty, even in the face of darkness. Instead of letting your emotions control you, you control them, and use how you're feeling to strive to better yourself so you can be the hero of your friends and family, and be able to protect them like i know you can."
Cane-Night didn't seem to reply at first as Sam got closer, and was soon face-to-face with Lucario, extending his hand out to him, not asking for the miraculous back, but as a sign of wanting to help.
Cane-Night looked at Sam's hand, then up at Sam, as it then dropped to his knees, and allowed himself to de-transform back into his regular appearance.
Lucario looked up at Sam with a guilty look as it took the miraculous off and gave it back to Sam, bowing his head in shame and regret.
Sam smiled and patted Lucario on the head, saying, "It's ok, Lucario, I forgive you. If anything, I probably would've reacted the same way you did if someone ever hurt Alya like that."
Both Lucario and Sam shared a chuckle before Sam placed his miraculous back on.
Cane-Night prononces in Pokemon "Ra Ra Lu Car" (Faang, Teeth in !) and turns back into Lucario while Faang is back with Sam.
"Good to see you're back in action, Faang !" Said Sam, happy to see his kwami again.
"Me too, i'm glad to see you again, Sam !" Said Faang, happy to see Sam again.
"Said the word and let's save the day, once again !" Said Faang.
"No need to tell me twice, Faang. Faang, teeth out !" Said Sam before transforming back as Silver Claw.
"Silver Claw, there you are !" Said Ladybug.
"I just had a little conversation with Lucario about the Miraculous powers, but everything is settled." Explained SIlver Claw.
"I'm glad to hear this, now, let's once again de-akumatize Tomoe Tsurugi !" Said Ladybug and our heroes nods.
"Lucky charm !" Said Ladybug before throwing her yoyo into the air to create the lucky charm and from it a box Box of Bath bombs.
"A box of bath bombs ?" Asked Illumina unsure.
"Do you think, we can use it to save my mother ?" Asked Ryuko.
"Actually, we can ! Everyone grab a bath bomb and hold into it !" Instructed Ladybug as Ikari Gozen saw the heroes and swallows them.
"That's your plan, Ladybug ? Getting eaten by my aunt who's been akumatized by Hawk Moth, once again ?!" Asked Illumina, a bit furiously.
"Wait, I have an idea, Killua, Ryuko, Silver Claw, you will use your abilities to make Ikari Gozen regurgitate us and drop her giant sword and then Silver Claw will destroy the sword to free the akuma.
"Let's hope this works..." Said Illumina a bit unsure.
"Thunder strike !" Said Killua while using his ability.
"Water Element !" Said Ryuko using the water element of her Dragon Miraculous.
"Howl of the moon !" Said Silver Claw unleashing sonic wolf howls, the combined attacks makes Ikari Gozen nauseous and she regurgitates the heroes.
"Silver Claw, her akuma must be in her sword, uses your Howl of the Moon with Lucario's Aura Sphere to dislodge it !" Said Ladybug.
Lucario and Silver Claw nods and then uses their respective abilities, Lucario uses Aura Sphere and Silver Claw uses Howl of the Moon, the combined attacks destroy Ikari Gozen's sword and frees the Akuma.
"Nice work, you two, time to de-evilise !" Said Ladybug before using her yo-yo on the Akuma to purify it and turn it back as a butterfly. "Bye bye little Butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug throws her windup toy into the air turning Ikari Gozen back into Tomoe.
"Pound it !" The reunited heroes said fist bumping.
"You think you have won, but it won't matter your Miraculous will be mine, especially the Dragon and Firefly Miraculous ! This isn't over Kagami and Korra, especially you Sam !" Threatened Tomoe while leaving into a dark portal.
"That's right, this isn't over but it will be when I get all of your Miraculous, Miraculous Team !" Vowed Hawk Moth furiously.
"Now that's everything over, shall we resume our pokemon training, Kagami, Korra ?" Asked Sam.
"Sounds like a plan to me, Sam, and we'll be ready again with Lucario just in case, a loved one gets akumatized." Answered Korra.
"And i'll be ready with Zeraora to protect my cousin." Said Kagami while Korra smile.
Before finishing the chapter we have three post-chapters scenes : and without further ado here they are !
Post-chapter scene 1 :
"It appears Sam is more of a threat than we anticipated," Bowser commented.
"Even not in his hero formation and without his miraculous, he is still able to save the day," Maleficent pointed out.
Hawk Moth banged his cane furiously on the ground, saying, "I just don't understand it! He's more of a menace than we've thought! no matter what we try, he and the Miraculous Team just keeps defeating us! We need a new plan, but what"?
"Perhaps what we could use is some more allies; more baddies to help us come up with much more sinister plots," Giovanni suggested.
"But who would even nat to join with us," Montana Max asked.
"Maybe someone who has just as much vendetta against those ridiculous heroes," a new voice sneered.
"And someone who has a special secret weapon that could level the playing field," a another voice mentioned.
Hawk Moth and the other villains turned around and saw Chloe and Felix standing at their doorway, with Felix saying, "We've come to offer something that might be interesting to your appeals."
"You want to defeat those heroic losers? so do we. And it looks like you guys really need help because your plans so far have been ridiculous, utterly ridiculous," Chole snorted.
"Hey! shut it, ya-," Montana Max started to shout, but Lysandre gestured him to be quiet, so they could hear what the offer was.
"We happen to have a little team of our own: Les Enfants Terribles, where we too want to wreak havoc and chaos among the Miraculous Team, especially that dorky Sam Noctis," Chloe added, mentioning, "But there's only so much we can do by ourselves."
"so, we propose this: together, Hawk moth, your team, and our team, together, as one. Where we can work as one unified supervillain group that will help in the mission to take down Sam Noctis once and for all," Felix stated.
Hawk Moth then asked, "And what would we get out of it if this alliance between us goes well"?
"Not only would Sam be taken care of since he appears to be the biggest threat, to both of us, but you'll be able to have an easier time getting your hands on not only all the other Miraculouses, but that of the Ladybug and Cat as well," Felix added.
"So, what do you say? Do we have a deal," Chloe asked.
Hawk Moth looked at the two kids and grinned evilly, saying, "Yes, we have a deal. Be warned, Miraculous Team, for you are not ready to see what's coming to you! we're going to be striking at you a lot stronger now, as we have more help, and will finally defeat you soon once and for all"!
Post-chapter scene 2 :
The boys of the Miraculous Team are in Sam's house to discuss with Sam about an upcoming date.
"So Sam, tell us dude, who's the lucky girl ?" Asked Nino.
"It's Alya, she and I are going on a date together, in a few days." Answered Sam.
"Nice, cousin, i'm sure you two will have a good time together." Said Luka.
"But for the place of the date..." Said Sam unsure.
"How about, the Ménagerie of the Jardin des Plantes, that could be a nice place for a date with Alya, what do you think, Sam ?" Asked Max.
"That could be a nice place for a date... But I need you guys to coach me when i'm with Alya !" Agreed Sam.
"Don't worry Sam, we'll help you out !" Said Adrien.
"Yeah, Sam, no worries dude, we'll help you with your date with Alya !" Said Nino.
"We'll be there, when something's wrong, Sam !" Said Luka.
"But make sure, that your date doesn't end up like the last time in the Ménagerie of the Jardin des Plantes". Advised Nathaniel.
"What happened ?" Asked Sam, unsure.
"Kim has perhaps mocked Alya's father panther and gets akumatized by Hawk Moth." Explained Max.
"We'll be on the lookout, Sam, just go have some fun with Alya !" Said Killua which put a smile towards Sam.
Post-chapter scene 3 :
The girls of the Miraculous Team are in Marinette's house to discuss with Alya about an upcoming date.
"So Alya, tell us, who's the lucky boy ?" Asked Raphtalia.
"It's Sam, him and I are going on a date together, in a few days." Answered Alya.
"Nice, i'm sure you two will have a good time together, to be honest Alya, you're pretty lucky to have Sam as boyfriend." Said Juleka.
"But for the place of the date..." Said Alya unsure.
"How about, the Ménagerie of the Jardin des Plantes, that could be a nice place for a date with Sam, what do you think, Alya ?" Asked Mylene.
"That could be a nice place for a date... But I need you girls to coach me when i'm with Sam !" Agreed Alya.
"Don't worry Alya, we'll help you out !" Said Marinette.
"Yeah, Alya, you don't have to worry about, we'll help you with your date with Sam !" Said Zoe.
"We'll be there, when something's wrong, Alya !" Said Rose.
"But make sure, that your date with Sam doesn't end up like the last time in the Ménagerie of the Jardin des Plantes, little sis". Advised Nora.
"What happened ?" Asked Alya, unsure.
"Kim has perhaps mocked dad's panther and he was akumatized akumatized by Hawk Moth." Explained Nora.
"We'll be on the lookout, Alya, just go have some fun with Sam !" Said Marinette which put a smile towards Alya.
"Don't worry Alya, we'll do everything to help with your date with Sam !" Said Rose.
