Dear Journal,

I found an eyepiece that Felix must have dropped just before he left to go with Nathile. I study it, but then the ground starts to shake and I know I'll have to deal with it later. Running back into my room, I call my transformation. "Plagg, Claws Out!"

I drop down by Ladybug, knowing we have another villain on our hands. I just didn't expect it be this big. Tall and black with metal spikes protruding from its body. Its face a shiny metallic color. It can only be a SentiMonster.

I use my staff as Ladybug uses her yo-yo, making the giant monster fall, destroying things in its path. The faster we take care of it the better.

"Why do you keep taking risks today? This isn't like you!" Then a shadow falls over us and we both fall silent. The Senti strikes out at us and I grab Ladybug and leap to the ground for safety landing on the street below us. It extends its giant foot towards us and again we both leap for safety. Ladybug grabs me, using her yo-yo swinging us to safety.

"If your going to risks, then take a risk to see who I am behind the mask!" Ladybug looks shocked for a moment. "That's one risk I can never take. Don't you know how dangerous that would be?"

The Senti is back as it reaches its giant hand towards us, and we both jump to avoid it. "Thanks, Rena Rouge!" Ladybug says, scratching the back of her neck. "Rena Rouge?" "Yes, she's keeping a eye on things. The anger shows on my face.

Ladybug swings off to help a boy heading straight into danger, while the Mayor is hiding behind a car, and I go down to ground-level. I take him away to safety hiding him behind a different car further down the block.

A helicopter then flies toward it, and it swings its giant arm towards it as if its was a fly buzzing around his head. The helicopter spins towards the ground, and I have to act fast.

I extend my stick between two bulidings, seeshakobing the helicopter in the middle. Ladybug is close by with the little boy she was helping. I land next to her. "Time to call on the team of heroes!"

The other heroes try their best, but unfourtanely this Senti has the ablity to dulicapte their powers. Soon, the sky is red with the fires from the city. I hide behind a building to catch my breath.

Then I hear Ladybug's voice. She's talking to...Felix? It can only be Felix. But why would she choose him? Or did she confuse me with Felix? This is not good.

We regroup as a Ladybug purifies the akuma and everyone goes to a rooftop awaiting Ladybug's next instructions. We may have purified the akuma, but we still have three SentiMonsters to deal with. I climb over the railing just as Ladybug is introducing the Dog Miraculous holder to the group. Now that I've seen him up close, there is no doubt in my mind this is Felix. Ladybug puts her arm around my shioulder eager to introduce us. Ladybug laughs as she brings us closer together, and I can feel the scowl on my face. The others look confused. I shrug Ladybug's hand off wanting to be away from Felix.

"Shake hands, you two," Ladybug tells us, clasping her hands together. Oh, M'lady, if it was anyone but you I would not be doing this, and I growl softly in my throat. I clasp his hand shaking it firmly, then with a scowl on my face I let go.

Ladybug is smiling after we shake hands, does she think we're going to be best friends or something? The scowl stays on my face, as Ladybug babbles on happily. Well, at least one of us is. "Lucky Charm!" Ladybug calls out and a pair of sunglasses drops into her hands. RoosterBolt is able to multiply them and we all put the glasses on. That confident smile is back on her face as we head toward the villians.

Carapace makes a shelter and we send the SentiMonsters into the sun. Clever lucky charm, making sure we don't get blinded but getting the job done.

I get back home, still mad how Ladybug trusted Felix with the Dog Miraculous, when I hear her voice. I turn as she walks towards me. "I need the Miraclous I gave you back," she tells me, holding out her palm. "You didn't give me a Miraculous," I tell her. "Felix tricked you!"

Her yo-yo disappears and she says, "Felix! The ball! He has access to all the Miraculous!"

She panicking, her breaths to fast, and she holds her head in her hands. My Lady may have been tricked, but I have to take care of her. I kneel down so I can look her in the face telling she needs to keep calm. Her breathing is still coming to fast.

Somehow I have to tell her it will be okay, even if they aren't. I tell her to hide in the background, her ragged breathing still echoing in my ears.

Her crying intensifies and I press my ear to the bathroom door. "Ladybug, may I come in?" I open the bathroom door, but she is gone.

The rain is fitting for what just happened. I find her at our usual meeting place for patrol. My heart goes out to her as she looks so small, curled up and crying.

I extended my hand to her. "My Lady." she looks up at me, tears flowing down her cheeks. She takes a sharp breath, slowing lifting her hand to mine. I pull her up to my arms hugging her to me. I keep her in my arms, telling her I'm here and we are not defeated.

Then the crowd below starts to cheer her name. We stand strong, we stand together. We are Ladybug and Cat Noir. Standing Tall, Standing Strong.
