Chapter 24: Iya of the storm

As always the city was in panic and disarray whenever an akumaa or a sentimonster appeared and today was nothing different, other than the akumaa having two different power sets mixed into one form. Especially when that skill set includes the power to create evil thralls to do ones bidding. Which was already giving the police a hard time as they had to fight off hordes of evilly possessed civilians. But with the help of Rena Rouge's mist darts the police were able to round up and restrain as many civilians that were affected. "Another wave in coming!" Rena cried as she stood atop a cop car. "Carapace slow them down!"

Without thinking Carapace then rushed out in front and stood fast eager to activate a private spell he'd been saving for just this sort of situation. "SHEILD WALL!" He exclaimed as he slammed his shield on the ground and deploying a large force field which stretched the width of the street just enough to block the crowd and hold them at bay. "All yours Rena!" He called back to his girlfriend who then leaped in and shot a mist dart at the crowd, the mist took effect almost instantly as it always did. Once the thralls were effectively dealt with police moved in and used all the wire ties they could get their hands on and began restraining them.

"This is Rena, Carapace and I have managed to hold the main down town residential areas without breaking a sweat, how are things going on your ends guys?" She asked over the private miraculous com system.

"Viperion here, Ryuko, Monkey-king and I have our hands full but we're managing for now. COIL!" Viperion then stretched out as far as he could and wrapped up as many civilians as he could in a giant circle before Monkey-king used his own enthralling power to help turn the tide.

"Monkey see monkey do!" He exclaimed as he slammed his staff on the ground sending out a wave of yellow energy which hit all the civilians Viperion had tied up. After letting them go he started to give his new army orders. "Hold off the enemy thralls but don't hurt them." Without question the newly made allies all turned on their former allies and started trading blows with them all.

From up above Ryuko was lining herself up for a perfect airstrike. "Water dragon!" She cried and turned into a giant rushing wave of water pushing back a giant group of civilians for the dozenth time. After turning back she quickly flew up to the roof of a building and landed next to an air conditioning unit and leaned on it so she could catch her breath. "I don't know how much longer we can keep this up, it's looking pretty grim on our side." She panted heavily.

"Hang tight Ryuko I've got you covered." Iktomi called over the com as he drove in at full speed on his specter bike which he was happy he could finally use in battle. After ramping off a flipped sedan he primed his guns and just pulled the trigger. "EAT RUBBER YOU CRAZY MOTHER…" He shouted out until he was drowned out by the sound of the gunfire. He managed to hit several civilians with rubber bullets forcing them all down. After his bike landed in the middle of a large group of them they all began to swarm him. "Anybody order donuts!" He quipped as he revved the engine and started to drive in a circle on the front wheel while at the same time squeezing the trigger of the guns hitting even more of the civilians coming at him. "WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO! God I love this bike!"

"Hey, how come he gets a kickass bike with machineguns?" Monkey-king whined as he just became green with envy at Iktomi's new toy.

After he'd stopped burning out the tires Iktomi then looked over to his teammate and said smirking under the mask. "Oh it doesn't just have guns, watch this. Fire three missiles!"

"FIRING…MISSILES." The bikes A.I. said back to it's rider as it unleashed three missiles all filled with chloroform. In an instant the missiles exploded and released their payload effectively knocking out everyone within range of the gas.

"Oh come on it has missiles too?" Monkey-king whined again. "No fair I wanna bike like that why can't I have a bike like that?"

"Focus monkey boy! We're far from done here and we still need to get the akumaa and the sentimonster taken care of. Now stop drooling all over my ride and get back to it, I'm gonna see if I can't be of use at the tower." Iktomi declared as he gunned the engine and drove off at top speed.

At the Eiffel tower Ladybug, Cat Noir, Bunnix and Pegasus were neck deep in evilly enthralled civilians. It didn't seem as though the fight they were in was possible but they still had to try their best to get to the source of the problem. Who wasn't making it easy for Ladybug as she tried to fly in at Iya while he kept shooting lightning bolts at her. "I can't get close enough to him!" She cried out to her team. "I need a wing man, oh why did Interpol have to arrest Chloe last night?"

While she was busy doing her best to get to Iya her teammates down below weren't fairing much better. "You know I'd love to be your distraction as always bugaboo…" Cat voiced as he quickly tripped a thrall with his staff then pole-vaulted into another then quickly jumping into a split kick. "But we've got a thousand times more problems than you do down here I'm afraid, and they all really need a lesson in boundaries."

"There's way too many of them!" Bunnix voiced as she swung her parasol into the chest of a thrall then quickly whipped around and hit another behind his knees. "We need backup."

"Ask and yee shall receive bun-bun!" Iktomi cried as he drove in shooting missiles which exploded as soon as they made contact with the ground around the army of civilians. "Pegasus, get everyone clear of the gas!"

Pegasus quickly did as instructed and opened a portal leading up to the top of the Eiffel tower in the attempt to get the drop on Iya. "Let's get out of here quick." Without hesitation they all leapt through the portal and found themselves right where they wanted to be. But just as soon as the portal closed they were greeted with the sight of the sentimonster raising its head into view and offering a single hiss. "Oh…right, forgot about the snake."

In a split second Unk-Cekula quickly darted forward in the attempt to swallow the heroes all in one bite. "Watch out!" Cat cried as he shoved his teammates out of the way and at the last second he quickly backflipped over the snake's head and landed right in-between it's antlers. "Seriously what is this thing a snake-alope?" A split second later the snake started to thrash and shake it's head all about in the attempt to throw cat off as he held on for dear life to one of the antlers. "Not fun not fun NOT FUN!" Eventually Cat finally lost his grip and went flying off into the air.

It didn't take Iya long to notice one of his foes was vulnerable to attack. "What's this? A lost little kitty trying to learn to fly? How adorable." He voiced as he took aim at Cat Noir with a lightning bolt, only to be halted by Hawkmoth.

"Iya wait, get his miraculous while he's vulnerable, the ring!" He shouted as he bore witness through Iya's eyes.

"You want it you got it boss." Iya replied as he flew in fast at Cat to try and catch him before he got too far away.

"Hang on Cat I'm coming!" Ladybug cried as she flew in at Iya again, but was quickly halted when Unk-Cekula snapped at her from the side in the attempt to catch her in her jaws.

"That's right my pet, keep that little pest occupied while I deal with the cat." Iya called out just before he caught Cat Noir by his wrist. "I'll just be taking that."

But just before Iya could get a chance cat quickly cried. "CATACLYSM!" Activating his power to destroy and using it as a virtual shield to protect his ring from Iya.

"Iya wait! Don't touch the ring!" Hawkmoth cried in order to protect his servant.

"Seriously boss? First you tell me grab the ring now you tell me not to? Make up your mind!" Iya replied with annoyance.

Hawkmoth quickly thought of what to do as he knew that with their new found abilities simply waiting for him to turn back was no longer an option. But that's when it hit him, he didn't have to wait for him to lose power. He just had to use it up. "His staff, grab his staff and touch it to his hand then grab the ring while its power is out of commission." He said quickly to his servant.

Iya smirked and said back. "You're the boss." Just as he started to reach for Cat's staff the hero quickly used his free hand and scratched Iya's wrist causing him to drop Cat and the staff. He winced in pain as he grabbed his wrist. "AH! You sneaky little shit!"

Just as Cat began to fall he quickly focused the energy of his cataclysm into a sphere and cried out. "Heads up stormy weather rip off!" Then he tossed the sphere directly at Iya.

"Look out!" Hawkmoth cried out to Iya who quickly shot a bolt of lightning at the black sphere. Upon contact with one another there was a loud explosion which was enough to cause everyone around for miles to wince and cover there ears from the loud bang.

Cat tried to reach for his staff which was just out of reach as he started to free fall Iktomi looked up and saw his foster brother dropping without a way to save himself or anyone to save him, except for him. "Hang on Cat I've got an idea. WEB!" Iktomi quickly shot out dozens of webs connecting them to the lampposts that all stood across from one another creating a giant spider-web to use as a make shift trapeze net, and just in the nick of time as Cat was less than twenty feet from the ground before he hit the net. "What's new pussy cat?" Iktomi asked jokingly as he helped cat out of the web.

"Thanks for the save, it seems that spider web theory of yours is no joke." Cat replied with a smirk as he approved of Iktomi's cat pun, not long after he quickly collected his staff both he and his foster brother took a battle stance as Iya came down to meet them mono-a-mono.

Iya was about to say something to Cat but was quickly halted when he caught sight of Iktomi, he had been told about all the known members of the team but he still had no idea what kind of powers Iktomi had let alone who he was yet, the same could be said for Hawkmoth and Mayura as they hadn't seen him fight any akumaas yet. They may have heard whispers and roomers about it but there was no way they could determine what he could do as each roomer always depicted a different story. "Who the heck are you supposed to be? Some ninja spider-man wanna be?" Iya asked as he charged up a bolt of lightning.

"Well…" Cat mumbled to himself. "Now I know which side of the family he gets it from."

Iktomi just stared right at Iya almost nervous that his brother had been turned into an akumaa. But he knew he had no choice but to fight him. He pulled his weapon and started to spin the knife around at his side as he held the tomahawk in his other hand. "I am Iktomi the trickster, and you're about to get schooled in the art of getting your ass kicked." He replied with a slightly deeper voice than usual just in case his brother recognized his voice from under the mask.

Iya cocked and eye brow and replied. "Iktomi, you know that's the name of a very powerful spirit in my tribes folk lore. Though I am curious as to why you picked this name, could it be that you yourself are of Lakota descent?"

"No…" Iktomi lied as he kept his calm to try and not give himself away in front of his brother or to Hawkmoth as he knew that if Simon were to out his secret to their enemy then they would be in big trouble. "Some dumb kid on the internet made an appearance on some girls blog and told everyone about some legend about the guy so I just went with it, mostly because you have no idea how hard it is to pick a good spider based codename that isn't already taken or doesn't sound stupid."

"Hey, don't call my little brother stupid!" Iya snapped at Iktomi just before he shot a lightning bolt at him and Cat, both of whom quickly dodged out of the way and quickly rushed Iya from both sides each letting out a war cry. Iya then let loose a gust of wind in both directions sending Cat flying.

But Iktomi was able to stay firmly planted on the ground as he activated a private spell he didn't think he'd ever have to use while standing up right on the ground. "Spider's grip!" He exclaimed as his feet became magnetized to the ground, then he started to walk slowly shielding his face from the wind with his arms as he walked closer and closer to Iya.

Who just looked on at Iktomi with surprise and asked. "How the hell are you doing that? I'm hitting you with eighty mile per hour winds you should be flying off like a leaf."

"Spiders can stick to any surface genius! So go ahead and crank up the heat as much as you want cuz I'm not going anywhere if I don't want to!" Iktomi cried out in order to be heard over the large gust of wind.

Iya then smiled and said. "What a wonderful idea." Then he snapped his fingers and in an instant the surrounding temperature sky rocketed in a split second over a hundred degrees. It wasn't long before Iktomi started to feel the heat from the sun beat down, and it only got worse due to the fact that his suit was mostly black and caught the sun's heat much quicker. He started to pant as beads of sweat started to form on his brow, but even though he was uncomfortable he still kept on pushing towards his brother.

"Me and my big mouth." Iktomi voiced to himself as he instantly came to regret saying what he said. While Iya was distracted with Iktomi Cat Noir saw an opportunity to take him down, but in order to do that he'd need Iktomi's bike. So he quickly extended his staff and started pole-vaulting over to the bike to cut the time in half. Once he'd reached the bike he quickly ignited the engine and started driving at top speed and firing the guns.

It wasn't until the first few bullets hit Iya that he finally noticed and broke his concentration on Iktomi and the temperature he was trying to raise. As Cat sped past Iya he fired off a lightning bolt at Cat in hopes that he'd hit him, but sadly for him he missed as Cat made a sharp turn which caused the bike to slide on it's side in a similar manner to how a stunt driver would perform. Once he was confident he was clear to hop back up Cat quickly pushed the bike back up with his foot and spun around and started driving at Iya yet again. Just as Iya was about to put down a patch of ice Iktomi quickly sucker punched Iya in the face following it up with a swift kick in the stomach then wrapping the chain of his weapon around his neck then vaulting over him while still holding on to the chain and with all his strength lifted Iya off his feet and quickly tossed him over his back and slammed him into the concrete with full force.

As Cat finally got back over to Iktomi he stopped the bike and said. "Your friend was right; this bike does ride like a dream."

"Yeah great now get off my ride." Iktomi demanded calmly just before Iya shot another bolt of lightning at the two of them just barely missing them both. After firing off another bolt which hit Cat Iktomi quickly started spinning both ends of his weapon and rushed Iya head on. Iya then shot even more bolts of lightning at Iktomi with him blocking each one until he slid down on one foot to dodge a single bolt of lightning in which case he shot his knife at Iya who just barely stepped to the side quick enough to avoid being hit. The blade was a mere inch away from his face as he saw his startled reflection on the flat surface of the knife, as Iktomi quickly yanked it back to his side he then tossed his tomahawk at Iya next with it also just barely missing Iya except for a single scratch made by the sharp edge of the blade. After quickly whipping it back as well Iktomi then swung it wide in the attempt to catch Iya and wrap him up in the chain, but Iya just side rolled and shot off another lightning bolt at Iktomi who quickly dodged the attack. But upon dodging he saw just where the lightning bold was headed, after hearing and seeing a loud explosion and what remained of his specter bike Iktomi just gripped his weapon even tighter in his fists and slowly started to growl. "I…loved…THAT…BIKE!"

Letting his anger get the better of him Iktomi rushed in and started swinging both ends of his weapon in one hand as he leapt into the air and came down on Iya. But just as he did Iya quickly blasted Iktomi with a strong gust of wind sending him flying into one of the legs of the Eiffel tower. After finally recovering from being hit with a lightning bolt Cat Noir then started running in at Iya on all fours like a real cat. Iya then started shooting off lightning bolts one after another only for Cat to zig zag all over the place in order to dodge his attacks. "Hold STILL you little shit!" Iya demanded in annoyance.

"Why is it when ever the bad guys can't hit whoever their aiming at they always tell them to sit still? As if they're actually gonna let you try to kill them." Cat asked rhetorically just to try and annoy Iya up until he quickly jumped up right and ran straight for Iya, just as another bolt of lightning was hurled his way Cat quickly slid like a baseball player heading for home plate underneath Iya and quickly activated his cataclysm. Just as he started to get close Cat just dragged his hand behind him causing the ground underneath him to deteriorate as he passed Iya by who didn't realize until it was too late that the ground was about to give way underneath him. As Cat quickly flipped over on all fours he dug his claws into the ground to try and slow himself down, he smiled as he watched Iya become swallowed up by the newly formed sink hole he'd created.

As he fell into the earth Cat casually walked up to the hole only to see Iya shoot right up out of the ground. "Seriously? Did you already forget that I could fly?" Iya asked with an evil grin. "Stupid cat." He leveled both his hands at Cat as he prepared to fire off two lightning bolts at Cat, but before he could he felt a pair of feet against his back at the same time as two streams of web hit his wrists just as he started to fire off both shots. With one swift yank Iktomi pulled Iya's hands into his own chest effectively zapping himself.

Iktomi quickly hopped off his back and landed in a crouched position and stated as he made a horrible pun. "I bounce back fast. Shocking isn't it?"

Iya quickly turned back to Iktomi and shouted. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU BUG BOY!" A split second later Iya shot a blast of icy cold wind at Iktomi only for him to leap above him dodging his attack.

"Spider's aren't bugs idiot, their arachnids!" Iktomi shouted back just before he shot a web into Iya's eyes. Then he shot two more webs at his shoulders then sling-shoted himself into a double kick to Iya's chest sending him flying towards Cat Noir as he stood ready with his staff as he held it like a baseball bat, Cat used all his strength to send Iya flying right back at Iktomi who then shouted. "TANGLE!"

The red sphere of energy burst into a net ensnaring Iya as he fell to the ground and landed at Iktomi's feet. "Pound it!" The heroes cheered as they exchanged a fist bump with one another.

"Now to free the akumaa and put an end to this guy's fun." Cat voiced as he started to search for anything that might stand out, but just as soon as he got started Iya quickly snapped his fingers sending out his black mist which hit both Cat and Iktomi.

Cat's eyes then began to glow a bright red signaling that he was under Iya's control. Iya smiled and said. "Let me out of this net." Cat raised his hand and used his cataclysm to destroy the net.

"Masterful move Iya…" Hawkmoth praised his servant. "Now order them to take the miraculous of their teammates."

Iya nodded and said. "Be good little boys and go get the boss his miraculous, understand?" Just as Cat started to run towards the tower Iktomi then shot a web at Cat and yanked him off his feet then threw him towards the opposite direction far away from the tower. "WHAT?! BUT HOW?" Iya cried with shock that his power to manipulate Iktomi didn't work.

"Iya what happened?" Hawkmoth asked as he too was confused.

"I don't know, I know I hit him with the mist but it didn't work." He replied honestly as Iktomi quickly shot a series of webs at Iya who in turn fired back with several bolts of lightning.

Iktomi then leapt backwards and landed on one of the legs of the tower and just sat their like a spider as he began to gloat. "Jokes on you Iya, believe it or not I was one of Hawkmoth's victims too at one point, and to be honest my anger gets the better of me sometimes. So to prevent him from enthralling me again I took some precautionary measures, the kind that you'd find on a mystical level."

Hawkmoth then gasped to himself as he heard everything through Iya's ears. "What? But there was nothing in the book that suggested that being akumitized could be resisted entirely. Iya forget about trying to possess him, just get his miraculous."

Iya nodded then said. "Hawkmoth doesn't know how you did it but it doesn't matter, cuz I'm gonna take that stupid neckless of yours then I'm gonna use it to get all of your friends miraculous as well." He then rushed Iktomi flying in on a gust of wind while shooting off several more lightning bolts.

Usually Iktomi wouldn't worry about anyone trying to take his miraculous as it was protected by the blood bind, but that idea flew out the window when the enemy he was faced with shared the same blood as he did. But he was still confident that he could win the fight. "You want my miraculous? COME GET IT!" Iktomi shouted as he dove right at the ground letting Iya fly past him and forcing him to turn around, as Iktomi landed with a summersault he spun around on his heel and shot a giant web at him and causing him to stick to the side of the tower. "Well looks like you're all tied up." Iktomi smirked.

"And your about to get squished little spider." Iya replied with a similar smirk. Just then Iktomi quickly whipped around and saw Cat Noir coming down on him whirling his staff over his head.

"Oh crap." Was all he had time to say before Cat swung his staff into the side of his head with full force causing him to spin in a circle and falling over. As Cat slowly walked over to Iktomi's side he activated his cataclysm and raised his hand over his head ready to strike. But just as his hand came down Iktomi quickly jumped up on his hands and shot a web into Cat's face, then he hopped onto his feet and interlocked his legs around Cat's and tripped him while he was trying desperately to get the webs off his face, then as extra insurance Iktomi then hit Cat with even more webs to make sure he couldn't fight back. Cat then began to struggle against the webs in the attempt to get free, knowing that his webs wouldn't hold him for long Iktomi was left with very few options. "Sorry about this Cat, neurotoxin." As Iktomi took two fingers to Cat's neck his teammate then fell limp as his eyes slowly closed.

"Wow, you poisoned your friend in order to free yourself the chance to take me down. That's cold." Iya stated just before he used his lightning to burn away the webs holding him, then he conjured up an even bigger storm than he had before and called for thousands of hail drops the size of cantaloupes. Iktomi quickly grabbed Cat and made a mad dash for the sinkhole that Cat had created in order to escape and find a place to set Cat down. "You can't run from me!" Iya shouted as he manipulated the wind in order to send the hail directly into the sinkhole after Iktomi and his friend.

"He's likely to call for help go after him!" Hawkmoth ordered to Iya.

"I've got a better idea boss, why simply keep him from talking to his friends…" Iya paused for a moment as he turned the hailstorm into a thunderstorm causing all the power across town to go dead and all cell towers to shut down as well as interfere with radio signals. Including the private coms for the team. "When I can take away their ability to talk to one another all together?"

Hawkmoth simply smiled at Iya's resolve to take the initiative as he knew this would help in the long run. "Very clever, if they can't talk to each other…" He voiced up to the point that Iya finished for him.

"Then they're effort to beat us will be for nothing, they'll be vulnerable and we'll seize victory." Iya stated with a fiendish grin.

Down below ground Iktomi then started looking for a place to set Cat down until they'd beaten Iya and Unk-Cekula. "Okay, this isn't a permanent solution. Just need to find a place to stash you until later. God this would be so much easier if I had some help here." Iktomi stated, then he realized that he did have someone to help him. "Boy am I stupid, Spizz web down." With a single red flash Iktomi reverted back to Dallas as his kwami flew out of the pendent.

Spizz then floated next to him as he felt slightly dazed from the de-transformation. "Whooooo…I don't know if I'll ever get used to that." He said as he shook his head.

"Spizz we gotta find a place to stash Cat for the time being until we beat Iya so could you give me a hand?" Dallas asked slightly desperate.

"Sure, I have six." The kwami replied back as he held up his six tiny arms.

Dallas smirked and said. "Okay very funny, but seriously I need to find a place to stash Cat while we still have a chance, any ideas?" Spizz then pointed one hand upward toward the ceiling of the sewer they were currently hiding in, Dallas then smiled at his kwami and said. "You might have a small head but you sure have a big brain, you'd make a great Lakota elder you know?"

"Well maybe I was at one point." Spizz stated with a smile.

Dallas's smile then turned into confusion. "Come again?" He voiced puzzledly.

"Sometimes kwamis are reincarnated from other living beings, so maybe I was a Lakota elder at one point." Spizz replied with a smile.

Dallas didn't really know what to think about this but ultimately found it interesting that Spizz could've been reincarnated from a past life, and quite possibly from a member of his tribe. "Hmm…now that makes me wonder."

"About what?" Spizz asked casually.

"If there's a chance that you could be my grandfather in your past life." Dallas replied half-jokingly. After quickly feeding his kwami and turning back to Iktomi Dallas quickly used his webs to encase Cat Noir in a cocoon of spider web and stuck him on the ceiling just out of sight of anyone who might be searching for him on the ground. "Alright that's good enough for now. Now to call for the rest of the team and get them to help us with Iya and that fucking snake." Iktomi began to try and raise the team over the coms, but all he heard was static. "Guys…hello? Can anyone hear me? Ladybug…Rena…Viperion…anybody!" He called out for anyone who could be listening. But heard nothing. He then tried calling on his tomahawk phone but all it read on the screen was no signal found. "Shit, something's blocking the signal. It must be the sewer, I've gotta get topside." Iktomi quickly made his way to a different part of the sewer in order to find a man hole cover, once he found one he exited the sewer and started to make his call again, but sadly the result was the same. He was about to ask why when he saw the newly formed storm overhead. "Shit, Iya must've figured that if we can't talk to each other then he'd have an easier time beating us. Grrr damnit, if he cuts off our way to talk to one another we're done…unless." Iktomi then got an idea, one which he was both sure and wasn't sure would work in this situation. "I hope this works." Iktomi then closed his eyes and started to concentrate, he'd been practicing how to set up a telepathic link with Cat Noir in his spare time but always had trouble doing it right and given the current situation he was now motivated to get it right for the sake of the team, Paris and of course the world. "Focus, block out all distractions, free my mind and connect to the team." He reminded himself all the necessary steps to talk to the team. Once he felt a strange feeling inside his head he had hoped with all his might that he'd pulled it off by saying mentally. "Can anyone hear me?"

Everyone in the team no matter where they were was startled that they heard Iktomi's voice inside their own heads. "What the…Iktomi? Is that you? How the hell are you inside my head?" Ladybug said out loud.

"You mean you heard him too?" Bunnix asked thankful that she wasn't going crazy.

Iktomi then celebrated a little bit to himself as he found that he'd performed the spell correctly. "YES IT WORKED! Listen everyone, Cat's down and we need all the help we can get at the tower let the police handle the civilians."

Upon hearing the first thing Iktomi said Ladybug started to panic. "What do you mean Cat's down? Is he hurt? Is he okay?" She cried mentally.

"No he's fine, he was enthralled by Iya so I had to use my neurotoxin to nock him out, it's a good thing the miraculous have the ability to protect us from poison otherwise that might've killed him." Iktomi replied still feeling guilty that he had to use his power against his own foster brother.

Around that moment Pegasus got distracted as he felt he had to correct Iktomi by being a big know it all. "Well to be honest some neurotoxins aren't fatal however sometimes if someone is exposed to a neurotoxin there is a chance that they may never truly recover and will…"

"Pegasus look out!" Bunnix cried out, Pegasus quickly whipped around and saw Unk-Cekula coming at him with open jaws. He quickly shot a portal into the ground allowing him to avoid the attack all together. When he reappeared he dropped out of the sky and landed on top of the tower's lightning rod.

"Sorry, sometimes I can't turn it off." Pegasus apologized to his teammates.

"Just keep your focus on the fight for now Pegasus." Ladybug stated as she buzzed around the snakes head trying to keep it's attention. As the snake kept on snapping at her and missing Bunnix saw an opportunity to strike as she ran up its back towards the head then jammed her parasol into one of it's eyes. The snake began to hiss in pain as it threw Bunnix off, while she was in mid air she quickly summoned her burrow and warped away and back to the platform of the tower.

Not long after Iya finally rejoined the battle in order to help his sentimonster. "Stop fooling around Unk-Cekula and blind them already!" He ordered to the massive snake. The snake then obeyed as it turned towards Bunnix and Pegasus and used its white flash in its eye in order to blind them.

Then in an instant Bunnix's vision began to go blurry, then she just saw nothing but a sea of endless black as the sentimonster's power took effect. "I can't see, guys I'm blind!" She cried as she began to panic.

"Iktomi, Somethings happened to Bunnix, I think the sentimonster did something to her!" Pegasus called out mentally as he ran over to Bunnix in the attempt to help her.

Iktomi didn't need anymore information than that as he quickly replied screaming mentally. "GET OUT OF THEIR ALL OF YOU, IF SHE BLINDS YOU THEN YOUR SCREWED GO-GO-GO!"

Ladybug didn't know much about this sentimonster, but she trusted that Dallas knew more about it than anyone else did so she trusted his words and said. "You heard Iktomi open a portal Pegasus get us out of here. Lucky charm!" Ladybug quickly activated her lucky charm and out of the sky dropped her latest lucky charm. But to her surprise what she got looked like it belonged to a museum. "What the heck is this thing? Some kind of weird spear?" After getting shot at with a few bolts of lightning Ladybug quickly remembered that she had to go so she flew as quickly as she could into the portal just as it was about to close.

"Oh no you don't!" Iya shouted as he flew in at top speed just as the portal closed, and he crashed face first into the platform, he then growled as he slowly stood back up. "Fine, run away like the cowards you are. In the end it won't matter, Unk-Cekula let's go, we still have work to do."

On the ground Ladybug and Pegasus were busy trying to get Bunnix to a safe place as they were immediately flagged down by Iktomi who was hidden in an alley. The three all ran for cover as Iya and Unk-Cekula began to head their way. As the Villon and sentimonster rushed past them Iktomi took a quick look at Bunnix to see if he could help her. His first thought was to use the miraculous healing power to restore her sight, but it had no effect as her eyes remained glazed over with a white film. "Damn, I was hoping that would work."

"What'd it do to her?" Ladybug asked quickly feeling even more worried for Bunnix now that they knew they couldn't fix her eyes with the miraculous healing powers.

"This is the power of Unk-Cekula, the legends say that any who dare to look into her eyes will become blinded, then they go insane overtime, and soon after…they die." Iktomi replied with fear for his teammates fate.

This startled all three of the other heroes around him, but their was something that needed explaining, mostly to Pegasus. "But why didn't it affect me?" He asked puzzledly.

Iktomi and Ladybug both focused their attention onto him as Iktomi asked with both a puzzled and surprised look. "What did you say?"

"I can still see just fine, and the snake was looking me dead in the eye at the same time it blinded Bunnix." He replied stating only the truth.

Iktomi, nor Dallas had ever heard of any of the legends of Unk-Cekula where her power had failed to work on any of her victims, so he began to put his mind to work. "Are you absolutely sure?" He asked as he tried to figure it out.

"I'm positive, I didn't have anything to shield my eyes from her at all." Pegasus stated honestly, or so he thought.

That's when Ladybug quickly figured it out. "That's it!" She said with a smile, and a brilliant plan.

"What's it?" Iktomi asked back to her.

Ladybug quickly pointed at Pegasus's miraculous and said. "It was because of your miraculous, that's how you withstood it."

"No offence but if that were true I wouldn't be blind right now." Bunnix denied as she just sat up feeling annoyed that she felt so useless to the team like this.

"True, but that's not what I meant." Ladybug replied plainly.

"I still don't follow you." Iktomi added as he just didn't see what she was getting at.

Ladybug then grinned and asked. "Pop quiz, what were the sole purpose that sunglasses were designed for?"

And just like that they all began to realize what she was saying. "Of course, sunglasses reduce sun light to keep you from going blind. So it stands to reason that the horse miraculous when activated acts just like a real pair of sunglasses effectively shielding your eyes from her blinding power." Iktomi stated.

"So if we can get enough sunglasses for the team we can take Unk-Cekula down a whole lot faster, as soon as I find a way to use this giant spear thing." Ladybug added as she held up her lucky charm.

As soon as Iktomi got a look at it he quickly corrected her. "That's not a spear that's a ballista bolt. It's like an arrow but its more along the lines of medieval artillery." Upon saying this Iktomi was then reminded of a key part of the legend of Unk-Cekula which might just save the day. "And I think I know exactly what we need to do with it."

"What did you have in mind?" Ladybug asked hoping he had a plan in place.

Iktomi smiled under the mask and started to share what he knew. "According to legend there is one way to kill her. If you guys were paying attention to her during your fight with her at the tower then you had to of seen a big red stone in the middle of her forehead right?" He asked and everyone else nodded just before he continued. "Even though the legend says her skin is harder than steel that stone is no harder than a simple rock, and the only thing that's been known to break it is a well placed arrow. But this thing was designed to punch clean through armor if need be, all we need to do is find a ballista, load up the shot, get the snake to hold still just long enough and then…BOOM! She's history."

"Great idea, just one problem, we don't have a ballista." Ladybug pointed out.

Bunnix then added. "My old man has an exhibit dedicated to the medieval era at the Louver, I'm sure we could find one there."

"I wouldn't doubt that Bunnix, but a ballista as old as that would never hold up for this situation." Iktomi replied shooting down her option.

"Maybe we send Bunnix and I back in time to the medieval era and get one that's brand-new." Pegasus added.

"That could work, but if she can't see when and where she needs to go then it might not be such a smooth landing so I wouldn't risk it." Iktomi replied once again shooting down another option. Then he asked Ladybug. "Do you think you could use the lucky charm again to get a ballista?"

She shrugged and said. "Suppose we can try. Lucky Charm!" But instead of getting a ballista all she got was… "A scope? Seriously why can't I ever just get what I want? Just once I want something that doesn't involve a convoluted plan to take down the enemy."

"Well on the plus side this isn't just a regular scope, it's a digital spotter scope. Snipers will often have a spotter next to them to help single out targets by giving them coordinates such as distance, longitude and latitude. So this could come in handy too." Iktomi pointed out as he made lemonade out of the lemons that had been given to them.

Ladybug sighed and said. "Let's try again, okay baby mama needs a ballista now. Lucky charm!" But once again she didn't get what she wanted. "Sign posts, okay third times the charm. Lucky charm!" And once again to no one's surprise she still didn't get what she asked for. "A two by four? Okay now this is just getting annoying. Lucky charm!" And with yet another flash she still didn't get what she needed. "A bungy cord! Why? Okay one more time, and if it's not what I need I'm done. LUCKY CHARM!" She shouted again, only to get a pair of rims for a motor cycle. "God damnit!" She shrilled, for the first time ever the calm and collected Ladybug just lost her mind as she just started throwing a temper tantrum.

"I'm only asking because I can't see a damn thing right now. Is she for real losing her shit?" Bunnix asked as she heard every single swear word in the book coming out of Ladybug's mouth.

Pegasus turned to her and replied. "Like you wouldn't believe."

After she finally calmed down she then began to realize that every thing she'd gotten from her miraculous was everything she needed for the plan to work. "I've got an idea, if we can't find a ballista then we'll make one."

After quickly relaying the newly found ace in the hole to the rest of the team and Iktomi finding a place to transform yet again to feed his kwami so he could stay in the fight Ladybug and Iktomi quickly started to put the makeshift ballista together on top of the roof of a convenience store. They began by pounding the sign posts into the roof with the spades pointing upward to hold the tire rims, which was not easy, next was the bungy cord which was meant to be the string, after wrapping it around the rims a few times to the desired length they began to stretch out the cord as a test. Finally was the board which Ladybug had cut into two pieces whit her yo-yo's wire and Iktomi had stuck back together with his webs to make it into a half triangle in which case the bolt would rest upon until it was time to let it fly. "It's far from pretty but it'll do. Now all we need to do is get the damn snake to hold still for a few seconds." Iktomi stated as he marveled their hard work.

"That might've been easier if we had Chloe here. Or at the very least her miraculous." Ladybug added as she came to realize this would be much harder than it needed to be.

That's when Iktomi simply said. "So let's go get it, we know where it is so let's just take a portal there and then we'll come back in a split second."

"We can't just steal it back." Ladybug replied shooting down his suggestion. "If we do then we'll give agent Menendez a legitimate reason to come after us regardless if it belongs to us or not."

"I didn't say steal, I just said go get it. I know she's not our biggest fan but I'm sure she can put that aside for the time being and let us have it in order to save the city." Iktomi stated with a hopeful expression.

Ladybug could see the logic in his reason, but still had to ask. "But do you think she'll give it to us?"

"Trust me, when push comes to shove you'd be amazed at what people are willing to do. She'll help us I'm sure of it, I am one hundred percent sure that she won't say no." Iktomi replied, after Pegasus opened up a portal to the Parisian Interpol office the two heroes went straight for the office of one agent Elisa Menendez in the attempt to get the bee miraculous to try and stop Iya and Unk-Cekula.

"No." She said bitterly as she just glared straight at the two heroes standing before her.

"Oh for god sake have you not seen the chaos out there?" Iktomi asked as he pulled the blinds of her window up to show her the state the city was currently in. "We can't do this without the bee miraculous we need it in order to stop that damn snake and save the city."

"Then why don't you just use Ladybug's lucky charm to deal with it?" Elisa asked back. "I'm sure she could get something useful from it like she always does."

But neither Ladybug nor Iktomi were just going to take no for an answer. "That's not how it works, my lucky charm only gives me part of what I need and we already have that part and you have the other part locked inside your desk. I'm assuming anyway."

Agent Menendez leaned forward and folded her hands and said in response. "If you actually think that I'm just going to give you police evidence which ties your teammate Chloe Bourgeois aka Queen bee to her crimes of vigilante activity you're sadly mistaken. Especially when I know for a fact that once you have it you won't give it back once the job is done."

"And why should we? You stole it from us, it belongs to our group who uses the power of their miraculous to SAVE the city when they need our help." Ladybug spat as she found agent Menendez to be quite irritating.

Agent Menendez then reached into her desk and pulled out the arrest warrant and said. "I beg to differ. This warrant granted me permission to arrest one Miss Chloe Bourgeois and seize any and all evidence tying her to the crime of vigilante work. Therefor I have stolen nothing from you, that's checkmate children."

"Elisa…" A cold and slightly irked sounding voice started to speak, both heroes and Menendez look toward the door to see the director herself looking less than pleased with her subordinate. "Just give them the damn comb." She ordered with an irritated expression.

Upon hearing this all three figures standing before her all shared a simultaneous. "What?"

The director quickly added as she entered the office. "I know the score out there Menendez, I've sent out all the agents we could spare to aid in the counter attack against Hawkmoth's akumaa and Mayura's sentimonster but it's not putting so much as a scratch in it. If they say they need the bee miraculous then we need to give it to them while there's still a chance to turn this around in our favor."

"But that's vital evidence to the case if I give it to them they'll never return it." Menendez complained, only for the director to ask.

"What's more important Elisa? Your damn case or the safety of Paris and her citizens? Remember what I told you the other day agent Menendez, the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is if good people do nothing, and that's exactly what your doing right now, nothing. Now give them the miraculous." She just narrowed her eyes onto Menendez with a gaze that could freeze water.

"But director…" Menendez started to argue only for the director to raise her voice.

"That is an order Menendez! Now do it or I'll fire you, rehire you and then fire you again just for the laugh, and to add insult to injury I'll let Chloe Bourgeois go free and allow her to resume her vigilante work and take immense satisfaction in doing so! IS…THAT…CLEAR!" The director stated making it very clear that she'd had quite enough of her stubborn attitude.

Knowing that she had no choice, and the odds being stacked against her, agent Menendez finally and reluctantly surrendered the bee miraculous which she'd stored in a small jewelry box to the two heroes. "Make no mistake, this is filed as evidence so if it isn't returned then I WILL have the legal right to arrest you all." She stated with a glare.

As Ladybug took the miraculous Iktomi added in response. "Don't worry agent Menendez. When this is all over you will find this box sitting on your desk with the bee miraculous inside of it."

As the two heroes began to take their leave Ladybug then asked Iktomi. "You're up to something aren't you?"

Iktomi just smiled under the mask and said. "Oh you can read me like a book."

"Ladybug, just a moment please." The director called out to her as she came up from behind them. She leaned in close and whispered. "Make sure the next time you see Wang Fu that this makes us even for Louse."

Ladybug's eyes shot open with surprise as she had just used her master's real name. But after what she'd just did for them she knew she had nothing to worry about. After the two heroes contacted Pegasus again to bring them back to the ballista with a portal they knew the odds were finally turning in their favor. As soon as they returned they saw that Bunnix was now screaming in fear as the second part of Unk-Cekula's power was finally setting in which meant they had no time to waste. "Alright, lets do this, I'll take the bee miraculous and hit that snake with everything I've got. Here goes everything." Iktomi voiced as he put the bee miraculous in his hair and began to unite the powers of ensnarement and immobilization into one being. "SPIZZ! POLLEN! UNIFY!" With a mixture of red and yellow light Iktomi's color scheme had been altered, the spider on his mask had been replaced with a bee, all the red of his costume had been replaced with yellow, and on his free hip was the spinning top of the bee miraculous. "Now I'm wasp spider, and I'm about to kick a snake right were the sun don't shine. Get ready to do your thing cuz I know I'm about to do mine. Wish me luck! Wings up!" In an instant the wings of the bee miraculous popped out of his back and he flew up into the air heading straight for the snake in the attempt to paralyze it just long enough to keep it from moving so Ladybug and Pegasus could take the shot.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the rest of the team they were able to keep Iya and the sentimonster from getting any farther into the city to cause more damage. While Ryuko faced off against Iya in the air everyone else challenged Unk-Cekula on the ground. All of which found out fairly quickly that she was not as easy to beat as they'd originally thought, Monkey-king especially sense he found himself literally in the jaws of death. The only thing preventing himself from being swallowed was the fact that he'd used his staff to hold the massive snake's jaws open as he held on for dear life. "I could used a little help guys!" He cried out as the snake tried thrashing all around to try and shake him loose.

"Just jump out of her mouth you idiot!" Iktomi called out through their mental link.

"But I'll lose my staff then I'll be unarmed." Monkey-king replied feeling worried what might happen if he was unable to defend himself against Unk-Cekula.

Iktomi groaned as he quickly stated. "Then call it back to your side when your at a safe distance."

"Wait what?" Monkey-king asked sounding puzzled.

"It's a universal ability, you can command your weapon to return to your side if you get separated from it." Iktomi stated.

Monkey-king started to understand. "Oh just like in star wars with the force!" He said feeling gitty that he could feel like an actual Jedi for at least a few seconds. After he leapt out of the snakes mouth he then asked. "Okay how does it work Iktomi? Is it as easy as here staffy-staffy?"

"Don't be an idiot, which I know is hard for you." Iktomi stated half-jokingly.

"Hey!" Monkey-king whined in response.

"Just focus on the weapon and nothing else, then tell it exactly what you want it to do and the rest should fall in line." Iktomi relayed quickly. After hearing what he'd said Monkey-king started to focus on his staff and out stretched his hand and mentally commanded it to come to his hand. In a split second the staff flew right out of the snake's mouth and directly towards it's master's hand where it belonged.

Monkey-king just marveled what he'd accomplished as he cried out. "FUCKING SWEET MAN!"

"You know what would be sweeter? If you'd get your ass back in the fight and help us!" Rena cried out as she leapt over the sentimonster's tail as it whipped around trying to strike her. As the snake quickly lunged at her she jumped back out of the way and quickly turned herself invisible to try and evade the massive serpent.

As the snake began to look for her a voice cried out from above. "DISCUS!" This single word managed to get Unk-Cekula's attention as she turned her head towards the voice and was pelted with a rapid fire of bright glowing green discs emerging from Carapace's shield as if it were an automatic weapon. The snake then recoiled from the barrage of flying discs in the attempt to try and gain some distance from his attack.

But as soon as it did another voice cried out from behind. "SONIC NOTE!" Unk-Cekula was then propelled forward as she was hit from behind with a concussive blast created by his harp after strumming his harp with a single swipe of his hand.

As Unk-Cekula began to rise Monkey-king saw his opening and took it. He held out his staff and cried. "MONKEY-CHAIN!" Out of the top of his staff flew a bright yellow sphere of light which hurtled towards Unk-Cekula, upon impact it burst and quickly ensnared her in a large amount of yellow chains that automatically secured themselves in all directions successfully holding her in place. "She's secure, Ladybug and Pegasus do your thing." He called out mentally.

"We can't do that yet we're still waiting on Iktomi to paralyze her." Ladybug replied as she checked one last time to see if the sentimonster was lined up just right. "What's taking him so long?"

"I'm a little busy at the moment getting shot at by Iya!" Iktomi replied as he just kept dodging every lightning bolt his brother hurtled his way. He figured that while the others worked on trying to keep the sentimonster occupied he could help Ryuko take on Iya as he was giving her a run for her money, but not by much as her natural skill as a fighter was more than enough to keep up with him.

As Iktomi kept Iya's attention she flew in at top speed with her sword extended at her side ready to strike. But Iya saw this coming as he quickly whipped around and shot a bolt of lightning at her, however being able to manipulate the elements allowed her to block the attack easily. "Lightning dragon!" She cried as she held out her sword in front of her like a lightning rod absorbing the attack then quickly shooting it back at him nailing him dead in the chest.

He flew backwards summersaulting in midair until he quickly regained his control and looked up to Ryuko with a smile. "You know when I first laid eyes on you I had a feeling there was a spark between us." He said just before he shot a blast of icy wind at her only for her to block it with her dragon's fire. "And she's got spice too, gotta love that!"

Back at Hawkmoth's hideout Mayura was able to see her sentimonster was in trouble. "Iya, your sentimonster's been chained down you have to do something to free her." She called out to him telepathically.

Iya quickly turned around and saw that she was right, without saying anything or even thinking Iya quickly began to summon all the lightning he could and set his sights on the chains hoping that his attack would be enough to free his sentimonster. "He's gonna blast the chains, Ryuko you've gotta absorb the lightning!" Iktomi called out to her.

"Even if I do I don't think I can take on that much!" She replied as she just looked on at how much power Iya truly had.

And she was right, even if she used her power to weaken the attack she still wouldn't be able to weaken him enough to keep him from breaking the chains. That's when Iktomi got an idea. "Carapace use your reflect ability!" He called out to him mentally.

"My what ability?" He asked back as he had no idea what he was even talking about.

Iktomi then began to explain to him what to do. "It's like summoning your shelter power except you repel the oncoming attack back to where it came from. Just summon your shelter like you would normally do it then concentrate all the energy into where ever your shield is taking the hit then let it loose."

Carapace found this to be very interesting about his shelter ability, but was still very skeptical if this plan would work as he'd never actually performed this before. "Are you sure this will work?" He asked back to Iktomi.

"About fifty-fifty, but if you don't try something then we're all screwed because that looks like a lot of lightning coming out of nowhere." Iktomi replied as he just grew nervous at how big the storm was growing.

Seeing that they had no other options Carapace quickly leapt off the roof he was standing on and onto the snake and quickly did as instructed. "I really hope this works, SHELTER!" He exclaimed just as the lightning bolt came crashing down with a massive electrical fury which made impact with the shield, which was the largest he'd ever created and was already showing signs of structural compromise as tiny cracks began to form all over it. Remembering what Iktomi had just relayed to him he then shouted. "REFLECT!" And just as everyone had hoped the bolt of lightning quickly bounced off the shield and flew right back at Iya.

Before he could even react Iktomi quickly tossed his tomahawk and the spinning top at the same time hitting him in the back of the head in order to distract him just long enough, and thanks to that extra bought second Iya was hit with the full force of his own attack, which was so big that Ryuko had to shield Iktomi from the blast with her own power to control lightning. As Iya fell to the earth Iktomi then declared to Ryuko. "You get him I'll take care of the snake." Then he zipped off towards the snake then took aim with the spinning top. "VENOM!" He shouted and shot a rapid fire of stingers which quickly froze the sentimonster in place and luckily at just the right angle. "She's all yours Ladybug!"

While waiting over at the ballista Pegasus began to mark off the variables needed in order to shoot perfectly. "Based on my calculations wind is at ten knots per hour blowing from north by north west, adjust by five degrees to the left to compensate for wind resistance, aim downward by two degrees, make ready, take aim and…FIRE!"

Upon hearing him say that Ladybug let the bolt loose and watched it fly true right for their target. It didn't take long for Iya to recover, once he did he saw the bolt flying right for his sentimonster. "Oh no you don't!" He cried as he commanded the wind speed to pick up to try and throw the bolt off target only for his command to be canceled out by Ryuko's own ability to control the weather as she came soring down on top of him.

"NOOOOOO!" Hawkmoth cried as he watched the sentimonster crumble away to nothing through Iya's eyes. "Mayura recreate the sentimonster quickly!" But instead of simply saying yes of course like she wanted to she just started to have a coughing fit. He turned to her and saw that she didn't have the strength to continue.

"I'm fine…" She declared as she coughed into her fist. But Hawkmoth was not convinced as he'd seen this to many times before.

Hawkmoth saw no point in continuing the battle anymore at this point as the heroes had once again beaten him. "Iya, fall back to the hideout while you still have a chance!" He ordered his thrall.

"No…we can…" Mayura tried to show strength but was unable to as she fell to her knees coughing even harder. Hawkmoth then dropped to one knee to try and help her up if he could, and completely forgetting about Iya for the moment.

Just after being ordered to retreat Iya then blasted Ryuko with a gust of wind then started to fly away but before he could he felt Iktomi's kusarigamahawk wrap tight around his chest, but as it wrapped around him Iya then notice something he didn't before as he saw the tomahawk fly by his head. It can't be, he thought to himself as he saw a very familiar weapon that he hadn't seen in years. Is that…the horn of Gray buffalo? But only members of our family can…

Before he could even finish his thoughts Iktomi then spun his brother around in a circle and sent him hurtling towards the ground, and Viperion. "COIL!" He shouted as he dove at Iya and quickly wrapped him up and keeping Iya's hands way above his head so he couldn't hit anyone with his powers.

"VENOM!" Iktomi cried from above as he quickly paralyzed Iya as extra reassurance that they'd caught him this time. As he landed next to Iya he started to search for the akumitized object, he found it in his front pocket and just sighed as he saw that it was a picture of himself and his brother from their youth.

Can it really be him? Iya thought to himself while he laid paralyzed. Could that really be…Hawkmoth I think Iktomi is…before he could finish his mental message to his master Iktomi quickly severed the connection and freed the akumaa and the amuck from the picture thus ending the battle finally and cleansing Iya of his powers.

"Ladybug, I believe this is your department." Iktomi called out to her mentally. As if on cue Ladybug flew in on her wings and quickly caught both the akumaa and the amuck in one swift motion.

"Gotcha!" She cheered just before releasing both the butterfly and the feather from her yo-yo. Then she flew down to the ballista bolt below then tossed it into the air. "Miraculous ladybug!" She exclaimed as she began the repairs of the city with her power.

As the group started to cheer for their victory they all heard a new voice inside their heads, one they hadn't heard yet. "Hello? Hey can somebody come get me out of this?" Cat asked from somewhere in the sewers under the Eiffel tower.

That's when Iktomi was quickly reminded of something he'd left unattended to. "Oh right, I still gotta deal with that. Be right back, and don't let HIM go anywhere, I happen to know someone who wants to talk with him." He said in reference to his brother just as he flew off.

AS Iktomi flew away Simon finally recovered from being paralyzed as he rose from the ground and started to rub his head as he had a massive headache. "What…what happened? Why the hell does my head hurt so much?" He asked twice as he slowly began to sit up.

"I have a much better question for you." Ladybug replied as she began to ask Simon something very personal and important. "What are you doing here Simon Clearlake?"

After asking Simon a few questions which he was a little reluctant to answer truthfully if not just at all he was sent to the hospital just in case he sustained any injuries during his fight with the heroes. Following this Iktomi and Cat Noir rejoined the group with the pair of them riding on Iktomi's specter bike which he was happy to see had been repaired as soon as he'd returned to where he'd last seen Cat in the first place. Afterwards both Ladybug and Iktomi then returned to the Interpol office as they'd promised. After knocking on the door to her office agent Elisa Menendez simply said in response. "Enter."

The door opened up and in stepped the pair of them as Ladybug presented the jewelry box to agent Menendez. "As we promised we're returning this to you." Ladybug said as she placed the box on the desk.

Agent Menendez took the box and opened it seeing just what she wanted to see sitting inside the box. "You surprise me the two of you. I fully expected you to keep this and never return it to evidence." She stated as she placed the box on her desk. "Makes me rethink a few things about you actually, but it changes nothing, I'm still going to come for you all and when that day comes you'll all spend a good long sentence in jail for your crimes."

"I promised you that I'd bring you back the box with the bee miraculous inside didn't I? I'm a man of my word agent Menendez and I always keep my word." Iktomi added as he and Ladybug just narrowed their eyes onto her with disgust. "But make no mistake, that comb won't help you convict anyone in a court room. If anything it'll make you look like the fool, and the quicker you realize you've already lost the better. Chloe will be freed from police custody soon enough and after that you won't be able to touch her ever again, not with the plan we have in place."

Agent Menendez then let out a hearty chuckle as she replied. "Bold words, but I highly doubt that. Now get out of my office, I have a case to build against miss Bourgeois."

Iktomi then rested his hands on either side of her desk and said as he looked her in the eye. "You actually think you can take us down? Go ahead, I courteously invite you to try. But you'd better do it fast because with what I have planned you won't have much time." Without another word Both Iktomi and Ladybug walked out of the office and headed for the nearest exit a little quicker than normal as they were unsure if Iktomi's plan would last long enough for them to get away from the Interpol office. Back in her office agent Menendez decided to inspect the miraculous once again as she was curious how it worked. But as soon as her fingers came into contact with it the miraculous quickly vanished into thin air.

"What the…?" She voiced as she began to question what was going on, then she slowly came to realize what Iktomi had said just as his words began to echo in her head. Don't worry agent Menendez. When this is all over you will find this box sitting on your desk with the bee miraculous inside of it, make no mistake, that comb won't help you convict anyone in a court room. If anything it'll make you look like the fool, and the quicker you realize you've already lost the better. She then shot up from her desk and quickly flipped it over in a fit of rage as she finally came to realize that she'd been tricked, by Iktomi the trickster.

(A/N: And that's where we'll leave it for now, what did you guys think of this chapter? I hope you loved it just as much as I loved writing it, and I'm so freaking happy that I was actually able to have Dallas use his bike for this chapter because it's just been sitting around doing nothing sense I first mentioned it in miraculous creation pretty much. Now I'll bet some of you are wondering, will Simon remember what he's seen in his fight with Iktomi? Will Iktomi's trick on agent Menendez eventually backfire on him? And what plan does he have in mind to get her off the team's backs? All will be revealed in time my friends. In the next chapter of WOS, Dallas decides to finally go and see his brother, and after being discharged from the hospital Simon intrudes upon Dallas's new life with his son and Adrien is somehow caught in the middle of it all. Alright folks hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will see you again soon.)
